- usually reliableBobeDined on 11/22/2014We are frequent guests at Cadiz and have always had impeccable experience until our most recent dinner on November 22. Scallop entree was undercooked and needed to be sent back to the kitchen. It did not return until more than 20 minutes after our other entree was served. Most unfortunate and uncharacteristic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food and service but pricey.kimchi1111Dined on 11/21/2014Their happy hour info was incorrect on the web site, so call before you go to confirm if you are interested in the happy hour menu. We were bummed because some of the items we were interested in were not available. Tables are all very close together, so don't go if you want to have an intimate personal conversation. Definitely make a reservation, as there was a wait the whole time we were there. But food was good and service was superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food but noisyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/21/2014The food was fantastic but pricey for the portion size. I had the cioppino which was one of the best I've had. Sat out front by Stare street which was fun but it was quite noisy with traffic on one side and boisterous clientele inside by the bar. Service was good and water/drink refills were speedy but they seemed to take an eon bringing dessert and the check. It was starting to get chilly outside so it would've been nice to hurry and leave. Free valet on weekends is phenomenal. Such a breeze to exit the freeway, cruise down Haley and ditch the car behind the restaurant. Well worth a $5 tip to the valet. All-in-all a very pleasant dinner. 10/10 would recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful PlaceSBFoodieVIPDined on 11/4/2014We have been to Cadiz several times now, and it never disappoints with the delicious menu and interesting cocktails. The place itself is very nice--elegant but cozy atmosphere at the same time. At night, the place turns into a classy lounge, and it's a wonderful place to go for a drink. It is one of our new favorites in Santa Barbara!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Special dinner for twockmel12Dined on 10/24/2014I recently took my girlfriend out for dinner here for her birthday, and her and I had a great time. To start off, I had reserved online and didn't think they'd notice the note staying it was her birthday and when we were seated I was pleased to hear that they wished her happy birthday and that they read what I typed. Second the food was amazing.awe both had the Bolognese with the scallops for our appetizer. One of the most flavorful Bolognese I've ever had and the scallops were cooked to perfection. Definitely will be returning here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved Cadiz!WombatTreeDined on 10/22/2014Classy restaurant. We went here for a friends birthday, so wanted somewhere a little special and it was. The decor is stunning, made you feel as though you had just stepped into a Moroccan riad. We started with happy hour drinks at the bar where we were entertained by the great barman, who had a fantastic beard! We were then shown to a lovely table outside and were well looked after by friendly attentive staff. The Spanish/Italian food was delicious. My friends said it was the nicest ambiance of all the restaurants we have eaten in on our California trip.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely PlaceIoneTaylorVIPDined on 10/19/2014My husband and I have been here a number of times, and we always have a great experience. I love the romantic Moorish decor, and the service is always impeccable. We started our meal with a scallop appetizer. The dish had great flavor elements to it, but the scallops themselves were slightly undercooked and lukewarm. My husband ordered the cioppino, and I ordered the butternut risotto, and both dishes were delicious, hot and well prepared. We look forward to returning for another wonderful meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth it!FantasticDined on 10/19/2014I made a reservation based on reviews and menu, but it was awful. We came to SB for a concert and hoped for a nice meal before. We sat on the patio to watch transient people walk by smoking and being annoying. I ordered the burger and my husband ordered Mary's chicken. The burger was ok, bottom bun soaked when I received it and the meat tasted gamey. My husband's chicken was just ok, but the pot pie was an odd choice for a side. I think they are trying too hard to make their menu unique that it's hurting the quality of food. Service was bad and serves inattentive.
- Great locationtonySRT8VIPDined on 10/18/2014We really enjoyed this place the waitstaff was fantastic the food was excellent and the atmosphere was romantic!Special Features:

- Highly recommendPJPnSBDined on 10/10/2014Went to Cadiz for the first with close friend and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The ambiance was perfect, servers were friendly and professional, food was delicious. I had the best Itslian Chardonnay I ever tasted! My friend said it was the best cioppino she ever had. It was a bit noisy on the patio as ther were two groups there, but nice there after they left. I have recommended this to friends and look forward to returning for Happy Hour as their bar area is beautiful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fall flavorslisalorenDined on 9/26/2014My husband and I had the most amazing time at Cadiz on a Friday night. I love it when chefs base their menu around the seasons. This was a surprise to me that Cadiz did this, but when we arrived the server explained to us that they had just rolled out some new fall items and fall happens to be my favorite time of the year. I got the gnocchi to start, with squash and pork...it was so good! My husband started with the market salad and I had a couple bites, it was also delicious. For entrees I got the risotto and he got the carbonara pasta. We were both delighted with our entrees. We will be back soon! Loved the tastes of fallSpecial Features:
- Ambiance over serviceLivingLargeinCaliforniaDined on 9/24/2014Beautiful restaurant amid the bar scene of this block of State Street. Food was excellent- the wine list limited in the Chardonay world (I know, I know, but that's what my wife drinks!). At 6:30 pm there were a number of empty tables to serve inside, and only one waiter serving the filled outside dining area I had noted on my Open Table Reservation that this was a birthday dinner- which the lovely Hostess acknowledged upon my arrival- however the waiter never acknowledge it- which was awkward. I didn't order deserts thinking he was going to offer the desert menu, and thought prompting him by saying we are going to need a check shortly- he brought the check, we paid and left. I was very disappointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great happy hour !BillVIPDined on 9/24/2014Awesome happy hour, local Pure Order brew and awesome flatbreads !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice dinner but a bit lackingbeerorwineDined on 9/20/2014seated right away. staff was friendly. waitstaff should scan the room more often. Summer Melon Salad: about 8 melon balls with a sprinking of arugula floating in a literal bath of lavender mint and watermelon vinaigrette. the crispy proscuiutto was so small that they got lost in the dressing. the goat cheese disintegrated also in the liquid. the best part about the grilled beef skewers was the cauliflower dip and another sauce that was on the plate. order a side of pita bread to scoop it all up. they charged us $3 for the pita, but it was worth it. only 3 skewers of beef. Afumigato Flatbread was very good. House-made Pasta Bolognese was very good but a bit on the salty side. decent entre portions. Jaffurs wine was lovely.Special Features:
- Food great, service lacking.JudeDined on 9/19/2014Ate here last Friday night. Food was great but the service was poor. Was brought the wrong entree; waiter profusely apologized and offered to replace but would have taken forever, I was afraid, and my husband was already tucking into his hot pasta. Ate what was brought, and anticipated being comped for the mistake. Nope, in fact was initially upcharged me for the entree brought in error--until I said something. Then a shared dessert took FOREVER to be served. Really put a bad vibe on an evening of otherwise wonderful food.Special Features:
- Cioppino!gparkDined on 9/18/2014Been to Cadiz a few times now and had a nice experience every time. This time around I went with the Cioppino. Great option! Very large portion with a variety of fresh seafood. Delicious, but beware it was a little spicy which I like. I also had the caprese to start with which had such fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. Stuffed by the time I went homeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best night on our SB tripcanadiangirlDined on 9/12/2014From the moment we walked in a half hour early for our reservation to the moment our waiter and the bartender sent us off to another hot spot to continue our evening ( we had a blast at the Sandbar - thanks Alex ) it was wonderful!!! The table was comfortable for a long lazy dinner, the wine impeccable and the bruschetta was the best we've ever had. ...and the scallops....yum! A great evening. ...one place I would recommend to all my friends and when I think of our trip to Santa Barbara - this night will be my favorite! !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice restaurantsLocalDined on 9/6/2014Lovely meal with friends. Service was great, staff nice, food good too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific meal!foodie7VIPDined on 8/31/2014We had a wonderful dinner at Cadiz on Sunday night while visiting SB. The ambiance is lovely. We sat outside, but inside is just as nice. While the menu isn't big, everything we had was delicious and beautifully prepared. We started off with the scallops which were very nice although the sauce was a little heavy. The lamb meatballs were divine. We then had one of the flatbreads that was very flavorful and finally ended up with the gnocchi and it was the best dish of the night. Gnocchi is not something we usually order, but this sounded good and others had raved about it. We are so happy we did. They were small pillow-like dumplings with a wonderful, light pesto sauce. The service was excellent and we will definitely go back.Special Features:
- Very goodGpmdineDined on 8/30/2014My friend and I both had the halibut at the recommendation of our waiter, and neither of us were crazy about it. The chocolate dessert was great, and other dishes looked like they would have been better.
- Nice place, mediocre foodMrose19Dined on 8/29/2014The apps and mains were just OK, but the dessert was good. The service was below average for the price.Special Features:
- Bruschetta to die for!fakefoodieDined on 8/28/2014My friend and I came in for small bites the other night and ended up staying for a full dinner! We started with the Bruschetta and Caprese salad and Pesto gnocchi and it was all so good that we ended up staying for a full dinner and dessert! Everything was delicious but my personal favorite was the bruschetta, which was a different take on bruschetta with avocado's. Fun vibe and our server Chris was great! We will def be back for girl's night againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great cocktails fun placeSaraMDined on 8/28/2014My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at Cadiz. I'm always looking for a place with good, inventive cocktails. I loved the "Andalusian!" ...cool name btw. My boyfriend had the steak for dinner and really liked it. I had the halibut with gazpacho mmmmmm so delish. Recommending to all my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sluggish Service Dash ExpectationsOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/27/2014Food was beautiful, tasty and distinctive. The hostess was polite and so was the wait staff. Menus took awhile to arrive as did the food (the hostess finally brought our main courses), even though the restaurant was not even half full. The big problem started when our server asked if we wanted dessert. We said "yes" and waited 5 to 10 minutes for the dessert menu. Then we waited another 15 minutes for our server to come take our dessert order. We finally flagged down the hostess, asked for our check and went elsewhere for dessert.Special Features:
- Usually very goodSnoopy1Dined on 8/25/2014I like this restaurant. Very nice feel to the restaurant.The food is usually very good but I had the pasta with the meat sauce this time and won't order it again. It was extremely dry. Extra sauce didn't help as the meat part was so thick. The staff offered to make something else without any problem. I decided on an appetizer and got the lamb meatballs. It also had a gamy taste to it. The pasta with just tomato sauce is very nice. The beef skewer appetizer was very tasty and so were the lamb meatball appetizer. I have eaten here before and enjoyed my meal and was disappointed this time. I will still go there and just not order the pasta with meat sauce. Great wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/25/2014This was listed as a 4 star restaurant. As far as the food is concerned, at best, this is a 3 star. Service and ambience was nice. I guess I was expecting a huge wow factor with this restaurant based on previous reviews. I still think it's a nice restaurant, but probably a little over rated.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/24/2014Very disappointed. Uninteresting food. Some fairly good appetizers, main courses poor. Pasta dishes mushy, heavy, salty. French fries soft. Gnocchi little balls with rich sauce..............
- Amazing ScallopsChristianHDined on 8/20/2014Scallops are one of my favorite dishes and whenever they're available at a restaurant, I order them. These were some of the best tasting, freshest scallops I've had in a long time. Also got the bruschetta which was different than your classic bruschetta but was great. Definitely recommendedSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/19/2014Nice ambiance. Beautiful seasoning and flavors, unique and delicious. Server was experienced and knowledgeable, however when then kitchen slowed because of volume we were sitting with no service....no water refills, no inquiry if we wanted more drinks. Needs to fine tune kitchen and service. Attitude was somewhat arrogant towards the customer as if it was the customers obligation/privilege to dine at the restaurant.Special Features:
- Cadiz did not pleasegastricguruDined on 8/15/2014If you enjoy bad service, small portions, and bland overpriced food then I highly recommend Cadiz. For me and my family, Cadiz did not please.
- Very good service; food just okMesaTennisDined on 8/14/2014Our sever was very helpful and enthusiastic, which made for a good dining experience. Neither our peach nor Caprese salads were fresh. The peaches actually tasted like fried oil, unfortunately. Our main courses were also a bit soggy. Again, a great place to visit and have a drink, but the food can be off.Special Features:

Ashlen Dewart scored 23 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's basketball team to a 66-57 come-from-behind win against UAB today at Bartow Arena.
The Lady Mocs (9-2) trailed 28-23 at the half and every time UTC pulled ahead early in the second half, the Blazers (9-4) answered. That changed when the game was tied at 42. Ka'Vonne Towns put UTC up 45-42 with a 3-pointer and the Lady Mocs remained in front.
A Dewart hook shot put UTC up 58-51 and Towns followed that with a long pass over UAB's press to Kylie Lambert for a layup and a 60-51 lead.

Scores Gather for Imagination, Inquiry, and Innovation Institute
The College of New Rochelle welcomed dozens of educators, thinkers, and practitioners from a variety of fields on March 2, 2013, for its groundbreaking Imagination, Inquiry, & Innovation Institute.
The daylong series of workshops and presentations featured a range of disciplines, from creating art in hospice settings, to the use of physical movement to generate ideas, to taking advantage of "the cloud" and other online tools to increase student engagement.
"We thought it would be wonderful to have a thinking institute," said Ruth Zealand, associate professor of education and one of the organizers of the conference. "We wanted the variety of expertise and interest to really bloom here."
Zealand and her fellow organizers were clearly thrilled to open the event, which had been delayed by Hurricane Sandy. "It is proof positive that there is a hunger out there for this kind of conversation," said Holly Fairbank.
Patricia St. John, professor and director of the Art Therapy program at CNR, said the sequester -- drastic federal budget cuts -- also prove that "the world needs more imaginative and innovative thinkers and doers."
Anna Deavere Smith, a playwright and educator perhaps best-known for her TV roles on "Nurse Jackie" and "The West Wing," hammered home the idea of using innovation to help others in her keynote address.
She tells the story of getting lost while hiking a mountain in Colorado. Four hours in, she hears her first human sound -- it's a man huffing and puffing up the mountain behind her. She asks him for help. He says, "I'm on a timer, I can't talk," and shoots right past her.
"I tell that story because I worry that's where our country is going," she said. The gap between the haves and the have-nots, she says, is not just about money. "There's a huge division that has to do with what we would call excellence, aptitude, or abilities that come from certain experiences," she said. "Is this what it means to pursue excellence?"
Next, Deavere Smith reads from Edward P. Jones' Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Known World," about a freed black man in antebellum Virginia who would go on to own slaves. It's clear she is an actor and a master storyteller, bringing the characters to life -- Henry Townsend, his bewildered mother and father, the former slave master who becomes his mentor, and more. "The moral of the story is that Henry, a black man, likes things. He wants things, and that want outweighs anything he was taught by remarkable people -- his parents."
"That kind of individual pursuit of things is something that we have to do some serious weighing about, if we're really trying to find a moral imagination or empathy," Deavere Smith said.
Conference participants were treated to a performance of "Sleeping Beauty," a rhymed-verse take on the classic fairy tale featuring the music of Bach, by David Gonzalez and Daniel Kelly. (

The day ended with a reception at the Castle Gallery recognizing Maxine Greene and her contributions to aesthetic education and social change.

Boffins crack smartphone Wi-Fi for greater battery life
Researchers have worked out another method for dramatically boosting a smartphone's battery life, by devising a new "subconscious" mode of operation. A couple of boffins from the University of Michigan have created a conceptual system called E-MILi, or Energy-Minimalising Idle Listening, that looks at the energy wasted when …
Their power figures for the stations are way off. RX is definitely much lower than TX. The largest power consumer is the power amp not the ADC.
I think this is a desktop card they have analysed, and these are non optimised for power consumption.
Also this seems to be only for directed packets, and "idle listening" is mostly with non directed packets. Carrier sense is only required before a TX when medium contention occurs. Here also RX can be killed after preamble detection.
So while there is an advantage, the benefit don't seem to be worth the effort, especially as the device is not 802.11 PHY compliant anymore. It can work with older stations, but this is not guaranteed. Those M-preambles before the frame violate the timing.
Or ...
Switch it off when not in use?
other technologies build this in from the start
Digital cellular technologies like GSM and CDMA all knew about this user device battery drain problem when they were designing the network standards. In CDMA it is called "slotted mode", where the network and handset agree how often to send out notifications. By doing that at prearranged times it allows the handset/chipset to drop into deep sleep for a second or so, and only wake up for milliseconds at a time to listen for its name to be called. Tremendous savings in battery power.
It seems that Wi-Fi didn't built it in, so these guys had to find a way to duct-tape one into it?
Anything that helps practically extend battery life works for me.
Well done lads.
Look ... it's here ...

Looking for help with defiant teens or how to manage defiant teens? Parenting troubled teenagers can be difficult, but here are some techniques we have found that help for working with defiant teens:
1. Tolerating Behavior - When establishing a relationship or dealing with multiple behaviors in defiant teens, it may be necessary to tolerate some behaviors temporarily. This is a purposeful, thought-out choice on the part of the parent based upon priorities, values, relationship, age and developmental level of youth involved, current situation, and specific treatment issues. This is not to be confused with passivity, avoiding conflict, letting defiant teens "do whatever they want," inconsistently enforcing expectations or other methods of working with defiant teens that don't work.
2. Ignoring Behavior - Parents of defiant teens may consciously decide to ignore certain behaviors at times in an effort to extinguish the behavior by not reacting to it. The behavior may be inconsequential, may be designed just to "get a reaction," or may be masking another, more important, issue which is what really needs attention. Ignoring a behavior should not stop communication or relationship building. It is a specific behavior that is being ignored, not the person. Examples might include using certain words, attempts to provoke or annoy parents, making personal comment to or about parents, saying "I won't" or "you can't make me," etc.
3. Active Listening - Some behaviors of defiant teens are bids for attention or expressions of frustration at not feeling understood. Parents can reduce problem behaviors when each defiant child feels genuinely cared about, understood, and paid attention to. Active listening is hard work and takes energy and practice. It cannot be done when thinking about or attending to other things, or when distractions occur. Active listening need not last a long time, but attention must be focused completely on the youth and the message must be communicated back to them in the listeners own words in a way that lets them know they really were heard. Body language, facial expressions, tone of voice, eye contact, respect for personal space, and choices of words are all important in communicating the desired message. It may take two or three attempts to really understand the message, and that is okay, as long as it is finally understood accurately and that is clearly demonstrated. A few brief exchanges of this sort for each child every day are necessary.
4. Observing and Commenting - Parents of defiant teens may choose to comment on a behavior in a non-threatening, non-judgmental way to bring it to the attention of the child. This may be new information for the youth to think about. What they choose to do with that feedback will provide further opportunities for discussion and teaching. For instance, "I notice you tend to be critical of others when they are talking about a success" or "You seem to only break the rules when you are in a group" etc.
5. Redirecting - Commonly used with younger defiant children or defiant teens with short attention spans, this technique simply stops one behavior by substituting another or diverting the attention of the youth or group to a different subject or activity.
6. Physical Proximity - Sometimes defiant teens who are beginning to become anxious, irritable or overly active will be calmed down by eye contact, a special "look" or signal, moving next to them or a reassuring hand on the arm or shoulder. Along with physical proximity it is important to be calm and reassuring.
7. Requesting - When there is a good relationship between the parent and child, a simple request to do, or stop doing, something or a re-stating of the expectations is often enough. If over-used, however, it may become less effective, may be experienced by the child as overly controlling, or can slow the process of responsible growth and decision-making skills. Example: "Michelle, we don't use that type of language here, could you please find a different word?"
8. Sequencing - Desirable behaviors in defiant teens can be used as motivating for less desirable ones. For example - "You may watch one hour of approved TV as soon as your book report is satisfactorily completed" or "you may make that phone call as soon as you have finished cleaning up the kitchen." This type of statement helps the Parent avoid power struggles because they did not say, "no." It puts the struggle and control back with the child, where it belongs. They can then choose whether or not they will watch TV today and when (within limits). A version of this can be re-stated calmly and compassionately as often as necessary while the child struggles with their choice.
9. Encouraging/Coaching - Encouragement, praise, and coaching are all effective ways to make pro-social behaviors in defiant teens more likely and more frequent. The stronger the relationship between parent and a given child, the more powerful this method becomes.
10. Shaping - Shaping behaviors is an approach with defiant teens that breaks skills down into steps and rewards small movements in the right direction. For instance, if you are trying to teach the skill of greeting a visitor, you would ultimately want the youth to go through the following series of behaviors: stop what they are doing, stand up, look at the visitor, walk over to them, make eye contact, smile, say "hello," extend their right hand to shake, say "my name is.," etc. To ask for all of that from someone who has never done it before, or who is shy, is asking too much. So at first they would be rewarded if they momentarily stopped what they were doing when someone new came in. After a few times they would need to stop what they were doing, stand up and look in the direction of the visitor in order to be praised, and so on. In other words, new skills in defiant teens are not all or nothing but are a series of steps to be learned.
11. Rewarding/Reinforcing - Rewarding positive behavior is the best way to ensure its continuation in defiant teens. A common error in parenting troubled teenagers is to spend so much time and energy dealing with crises and negative behaviors, that children who are being responsible can either get "lost" or are tempted to act less responsible to become part of the action. Rewards can take many forms from simple a comment: "I noticed that you..." or "I really appreciated it when you..." to special time and attention or more concrete things such as a special treat or privilege. For every negative interaction defiant teens experience, it takes four positive interaction to overcome the effects. Parents need to be very deliberate about maintaining at least a 4:1 ratio of positive to negative interactions every day with every youth.
12. Consequenting - Consequences may be used to discourage unacceptable behavior of defiant teenagers. Usually this will occur after other techniques have been tried unsuccessfully with the defiant teens. Consequences should not be confused with punishment; nor should they ever be given in anger. They should be applied consistently. That means that the behavior consequented today, will again be consequented next week. Also, behavior consequented for one youth will not be allowed for others. This consistency lowers anxiety by making the environment predictable. Consequences are given to help defiant teens establish boundaries. Consequences should be clearly explained, related to the behavior, and completed as soon as possible. A parent who is angry with a youth should calm down before deciding a consequence and if applicable should consult with the other parent before doing so. Consequences are more effective when discussed matter-of-factly from a caring and controlled point of view. Parents should regularly discuss the effectiveness of consequences for the specific youth and should always support each other in the positive discipline process of their defiant teens.
13. Natural Consequences - Sometimes consequences occur for defiant teens through the natural course of events (such as a youth coming home late from school and missing a phone call from a friend). If the natural course of events makes an impact by teaching a lesson, parents need not intervene further. They can be sympathetic to the youth's plight (this must be genuine however, and never patronizing or sarcastic).
14. Logical Consequences - Logical consequences for defiant teens may be necessary when no natural one occurs, or when the natural one is insufficient to make a change in future behavior. An example would be a defiant youth causing a disturbance at an event, not being allowed to attend the next one.
15. RIGHTS - (such as food, clothing, therapy, medical attention, education, and spiritual activities) are NEVER withheld from defiant teens as a consequence. Privileges (such as television, telephone, radio, some activities, free time, visiting with friends, hobbies, walking around the grounds, etc.) may be temporarily withheld as logical consequences and can be powerful incentives for some defiant teens.
16. Temporarily Removing One or More Privileges - It is not meaningful or realistic to "remove all privileges" from defiant teens. This generally leads to resentment towards the adult and a lack of understanding or personal responsibility. When this technique is chosen, 1) it must be made clear to the teen exactly which privileges(s) will be removed, 2) why it is being removed, 3) exactly how it will be handled, 4) and for what time period. If there is something they can do to get the privilege(s) reinstated sooner, that should also be clearly explained. Note: this requires more thought and explanation than simply saying, "You're grounded."
17. Writing Assignments - Education sometimes alters behavior in defiant teens. Examples include researching the long-term effects of smoking or drug usage; talking with teen parents to learn what sacrifices they have made; learning about a particular culture, religion or disability in order to develop understanding or tolerance, etc. Such an assignment should include considerable thinking, learning, and dialogue with parents, rather than simply writing a certain number of words without much independent thought.
18. Role Playing/Rehearsing - This technique can be used to practice for an upcoming situation that may be difficult, foreign, or anxiety producing or to re-create a situation that already occurred to experience alternative responses. Examples should include role-playing a situation in which the youth was angry and became physically or emotionally abusive; or one in which they demanded or sulked instead of negotiating. The purpose of the role-play is to help defiant teens practice more acceptable styles of self-expression while still making their intended point. Practicing of this sort will make the desired responses more likely in future similar situations. Role playing can also be used to practice saying something that is difficult or anticipating a variety of responses in order to reduce anxiety.
19. Role Modeling - Most of what children learn from adults comes from simply observing. All parents are role models to their children (even defiant teens) and need to be very conscious of their own behavior. Children are astute observers of how we treat them, how we relate to each other and how we take care of ourselves.
20. Pre-Teaching - It is easier to prevent negative behaviors in defiant teens than to deal with them after they occur. A very effective tool is to pre-teach behavior prior to an event or potentially vulnerable situation. This involves talking with the person or group in detail about what will be happening, why, and what their role and expected behaviors will be. Pre-teaching reduces anxiety, clarifies expectations, builds confidence, sets up success, and can add to the fun of anticipating an event.
21. Teaching Alternatives - A good way to teach defiant teens personal responsibility is to spend time brainstorming together about all the possible responses, and predicting the reactions to each response. Instead of telling them what to do and what not to do (which can elicit dependency or oppositional responses); it is useful to spend time exploring different options. For example, instead of saying "don't say that to your dad" it is better to say something like "that's one way you could handle it. How do you think he would respond to that?" "Is that the response you want from him?" "How else might you phrase that idea?", etc. If they have trouble coming up with alternatives, you can help out by saying, "Do you want to know what some other people have tried?"
22. Substitution - It is never enough to tell defiant teens what they can't do or what behaviors they must stop doing. We must always add what they CAN do instead. Some examples might be ideas such as, "You cannot hit your roommate when you are angry, but you can go for a brisk walk, write in your journal, talk about how you feel, etc." The goal is to replace or substitute an unacceptable behavior in defiant teens with one that is acceptable and still meets the same need. The message should always be, "your needs and feelings are normal and okay and we are here to help you express them in ways that will allow you to be successful and responsible."
23. Teaching Interactions - Effective parenting of defiant teens requires frequent interactions. Situations, both dramatic and mundane, present themselves continually. Parents of defiant teens, who recognize the golden opportunities in routine living tasks, capitalize upon them by turning them into teaching interactions, build solid relationships, have fewer behavior problems, and receive daily rewards. Problems = teachable moments for defiant teens. Teaching interactions can take several forms such as demonstrating a skill; processing dynamics (such as "have you noticed that when someone doesn't fulfill their responsibility; others become resentful and peopled become irritable with one another?"); teaching a concept (such as negotiation); or others. The point is that on-duty parents of defiant teens should always be interacting with youth, and the nature of those interactions is teaching; rather than lecturing, punishing, judging, criticizing, doing for, or becoming friends with the child. Again, problems = teachable moments for defiant teens.
24. Re-focus - Defiant teens may be asked to spend time thinking about something (such as a recent run-away or self mutilation) and express their feelings and thoughts in some way. This could be writing, poetry, drawing, etc. Whatever format is used, it then needs to be processed with the teen. They can then be assisted in identifying early clues and practicing alternative responses. The purpose of this type of activity is to encourage thinking, self-awareness, communication, and planning for different choices in the future.
If you are still having trouble with your defiant teen, it may be time to turn to schools for troubled teenagers. Take our troubled teen questionnaire to see if a boarding school might be the right fit for your teen.

Sanity is madness put to good use. – George Santayana
There is an interesting new blog on the Internet that you should go check out. It's Johnson and Johnson's new corporate blog, JNJ BTW. I started leaving comments over there a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm getting hits on my own blog from J&J. I hope some of my new readers are drug reps. I want to help them learn how to get along with hospital staff so they do not suffer their own death at the hands of a nurse.
Nurses have a love-hate relationship with drug reps. There are days when we don't have time to listen their spiel, and they always seem to come to the unit during the most inopportune times. Seasoned reps know that the fastest way to a nurse's heart is through his or her stomach. Reps who excel at their job bring in deli food when nurses are trying to get off of the unit for lunch. Reps who haven't learned this lesson arrive during mealtime empty handed; these reps are doomed. I once refused to talk to a rep during an evening shift until he brought pizza to the unit. He was a new rep, and he thought I was kidding until I gave him directions to get to our favorite pizzeria and then I showed him the elevator. He came back to the unit an hour later with pizza and flowers for the staff. Nice touch.
Nurses also demand pens and other goodies when drug reps come calling. I don't know why for sure, but I think it's because we know that the drug companies are giving things to the doctors, so we want some stuff, too. Nurses covet Viagra pens, so if you are a Pfizer drug rep, you better have a lot of those pens in your pocket when you walk onto a nursing unit. I, however, think Risperdal popcorn is the best goodie under the sun. It is easy to cook, contains no active drug ingredients, and it is a quick, healthy snack when nurses don't have time to go off the unit to eat. I know that Ed Silverman from Pharmalot wrote a salty review about the product, no pun intended, but I love the popcorn, and so do other nurses who have been forced to work a double shift without getting a break.
My sincerest thanks go out to Johnson and Johnson for making Risperdal popcorn, and for their other groundbreaking work in developing new goodies for nurses who love to eat.

All these pens! It must have a few laughs when one has 'viagra' down the side of it.
August 29th, 2007 at 11:19 pm
I used to joke that the Viagra pen that I got from a rep didn't write unless you held it straight up-and-down.
I also have a cool OxyContin one with a little pull-out dosage chart on the side — like the maps rolled up above the blackboards in grade school. A hundred and fifty years ago. When I was a child.

Drug reps are not allowed on the units at my hospital anymore.
One of my favorite drug rep memories happened about five years ago. We had a drug rep bring in dinner and then apologized that it wasn't very good. It was excellent, but she wouldn't believe us. So…she took our names and phone numbers and invited those of us who listened to her information out to a VERY nice restaurant a month later.
Of course, it helped that she was a rep for the best drug EVER–propofol!
August 31st, 2007 at 7:02 pm
I pick up drug pens when I go to conferences. I think it's funny that drug reps come to psychologists' conferences. But I don't care about getting prescription privileges–I just want the pens!
And I think the "contains no active drug" disclaimer on the Risperdal popcorn is just too precious. The next time I go to the movies, I'm going to ask for butter, salt, and extra risperidone on my popcorn.

Before I returned to school I worked as a medical biller. There was a rep that came every single Friday between 11:30 and noon… always with some sort of goody, often a complete lunch for the office. Guess which rep got to talk to the Docs the most?

I have one issue with your beloved popcorn. I had an elderly lady come in with a bag of stuff she got while at an AARP sponsored medical conference. She has a friend with breathing problems and she wanted to give her the "Theophylline" she got from the conference. The "Theophylline" she showed me was a bag of your beloved promo popcorn with the drug logo on it. I delicately had to explain to her that it was a snack not a drug she had with her,,,back then the "microwave popcorn" logo was not very prominent. Hopefully the advertisers that came up with that one print "microwave popcorn" in letters as big as the drug they are advertising. It is good popcorn. I like extra salt on mine…

Well we dont get drug reps on the units..that is just a taboo…what we do get are the reps who are demonstrating new equipment…and you are right…food and goodies is the best way to get a nurses attention…well no that is not true…but it does help…

If Viagra put its name on pencils rather than pens, it might remind a few musical thrift-shop hounds of that old song, "My Pencil Won't Write No More"…
September 5th, 2007 at 11:53 am
I once reviewed an interesting book by a former Pfizer rep.
It is called "Hard Sell," and it describes, of course, the early days of the Viagra phenomenon as well as being a tell-all look into the life of a pharm rep.
September 5th, 2007 at 6:20 pm
We see less and less of the drug reps and it does seem that the pens are cheaper these days. The ink leaks or the pen is a cheap plastic.
Donuts are still a cheap shot in my book and when they are delivered in the afternoon I know the classless rep got a dozen for half price, if that.
Poor Jean-Luc. I have been over on his site in the past and I guess the Galaxy is quiet these days. smile
September 5th, 2007 at 9:14 pm
We do love getting pens, don't we?
It's the same here actually. Med reps should always be bringing food if they want to hold the attention of healthcare staff.
Also, the reason why I love getting pens from med reps is that it's I think the best way I remember the products they're trying to sell me.

Having worked front desk in a small private practice, I know just how welcome a drug rep with food can be. Oh and pens. Lots of pens, and notepads.
My mom, many years ago, treasured her stash of Doxidan pens with the quote "Doxidan in the PM for a BM in the AM" emblazoned on them.
She knew no matter how desperate we teenagers were, we would never snag one for school. Ever.
September 8th, 2007 at 11:06 pm
I have a bad habit of sticking whatever pen is in my hand into my mouth when it comes time to clack away on the computer.
This habit was broken temporarily when I had a lab coat full of Viagra pens. I couldn't put one in my mouth. I just couldn't.
Not that there would be anything wrong with that.

I work in the Pharmacy and used to get all the great freebies..But now I have a boss with a concience and can't get any of the great free pens or anything like that.
I also would like to get some for my mom who is a nurse at a nursing home which doesn't seem to get the over flow of reps.
If there is anyone out there with any advise I would love to hear it
August 4th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
i get all my "drug pens" from conferences or yeah, when the drug rep comes because nurses are always losing them and we have to keep them but it never really happens…

Dr. Vargas Honored for Advocacy
Written by Adam Zewe
Associate Professor Clemencia Vargas, DDS, PhD, dedicates her work to fighting oral health disparities that impact thousands of underserved children in Maryland. Recognizing her tireless efforts, the Hispanic Dental Association (HDA) recently honored Dr. Vargas with the 2011 Women's Award for Advocacy.
Dr. Vargas leads dental student outreach activities to low-income Hispanic families. At health fairs throughout the state, she teaches parents about oral hygiene and explains how unhealthy diets can cause tooth decay. Her lessons also inspire student volunteers to give back. "Our work in the community helps our students see a reality that exists outside of school. It is rewarding to be able to help low-income and underserved populations," she remarks.
For Dr. Vargas, reducing oral health disparities has been a mission since she started her career in Colombia. Filled with a strong sense of social responsibility, she intensified her research when she joined the School of Dentistry faculty in 1999. Oral health disparities are part of a multi-dimensional issue, so she collaborates with researchers across many disciplines. "Oral health disparities reflect the social disparities in the country. Overcoming those disparities is an uphill battle," states Dr. Vargas.
She focuses much of her research on environmental issues that cause dental caries in children. In one study, Dr. Vargas found that kids who have caries are more likely to have mothers who also have caries. Another important research project shows that children from low-income families suffer from more dental caries than children from higher-income families.
Dr. Vargas expresses hope that continued research will inspire public officials to take action. Her ultimate goal is to improve access to care for kids and increase oral health care literacy for both parents and children. Improving access to care improves lives, she states. "This research is addressing a very meaningful problem. It is a matter of basic rights. Children shouldn't be in pain," Dr. Vargas concludes.

Review about Bill Withers songs
thank u! | Reviewer: Charli------ About the song Lean On Me performed by Bill Withers
This song helped me when my friends had a fight about how we were going to perform this song in music lessons. I said "It's in the song, sometimes we have pain or sorrow but if we are wise we know there's always tomorrow."
Bill Withers My Imgaination | Reviewer: Karen------ About the song My Imagination performed by Bill Withers
OMG!!!! What a beautiful song. I had never heard it, and after watching his Showtime Special I became very interested in his music, and when I heard this song I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can get this. If anyone can assist me please let me know.
Still Bill.......still! | Reviewer: dj------ About the song Watching You Watching Me performed by Bill Withers
A timeless classic, sort of like the man himself.
Haunting, captivating, song that captures the feelings/passion between two that need NOT be expressed by (mere) words.
Sweet, yet somber (kinda sad, too). For another interpretation could be that in watching and waiting....certain things may have never been conveyed....and the relationship is over.
Fantastic artist (Mr. Withers). I grew up listening to his music (fan from his early solo studio/live work - all the way to collaborations w/Grover Washington, Jr. and also The Crusaders).
His noted cool, calm, smooth, persona and humble beginnings in a country setting; yet urban wit (in delivery) - - -oh yeah, the voice too, remind me much of my grandfather. Funny, now that I am getting older (hehehe).....he kinda reminds me of...me. ;-)
Cheers! Bravo! Long life, Bro.' Bill!!!!

You're Gonna Get It
The federal deficit is skyrocketing past record levels, the president is vowing to sign what will amount to an $800 billion tax-cut handout to the wealthy, and here in Maryland, our own Bobby Smooth has told his corporate buddies that they can keep running their shows out of Delaware post-office boxes in order to keep them from paying taxes here.
How does that work? The guv wanted to ram through slot machines to keep people from taking their gambling dollars to Delaware, but at the same time, he's more than happy to let businesses set up a racket to operate from "The Home of Tax Free Shopping" so they won't have to pay taxes in Maryland (including Baltimore's Most Earnest Alternative Weekly--we'll let you know if we remain employed).
Let's say it again--nobody enjoys paying taxes. But that's sort of like saying nobody likes paying for anything. Sure, the beer always tastes better when it's free, but there ain't no Santa Claus, there's no free lunch, and you gotta pay for what you get. That's life for grownups.
Yet there seems to be some sort of belief among those with that weird right-wing chromosome that says we can have nice roads, decent schools, a quality higher-education system, effective police and fire departments, a clean bay, and homeland security and not have to pay for it. "It's your money," they say, as if it's not your government as well. Governors--even Republican governors--all over America are having to raise taxes, because the enduring ability of any chief executive named Bush to make the economy hemorrhage jobs is a constant, no matter what decade it happens to be. And here in the progressive state of Maryland, we elected a man who thinks that letting corporations freeload is a great idea, but cutting programs to the needy is just something that happens when you don't let him have what he wants.
Perhaps Mayor Martin O'Malley put it best when he said, "When all of us get our higher property tax bills next year, we need to remember that the governor who promised he wouldn't raise our taxes raised our taxes, but preserved corporate loopholes."
Just to make sure it all stays in the family, it's kind of a hoot to find out that the governor's wife, Kendel Ehrlich, works as a lawyer for Comcast Corp. The Philadelphia Inquirer recently pointed out Comcast's use of 400 Delaware shell subsidiaries to avoid paying its taxes. Leona Helmsley may have been the "Queen of Mean," but she sure had one thing right: Only the little people pay taxes.
Even state Comptroller William Donald Schaefer, who endorsed the first President Bush and who remains a pal of Maryland's new governor, had harsh words to say about Ehrlich's knocking the budget out of balance with his veto last week of a few modest business-tax hikes. Ehrlich told his department heads to slash 7.5 percent across the board from all of their budgets that start July 1, and Schaefer told The Washington Post, "There's going to be a lot of people hurt at 7.5 percent. You can't do that."
As always, when corporations get off light, the people who wind up paying the price are the ones with the least amount of say in the matter: the poor. Conservatives constantly talk about savings through the reduction of "waste, fraud, and abuse" because it sounds good, and one man's waste and abuse is another family's life-saving assistance program. Back in April, former Congressional Budget Office employee and University of Maryland, Baltimore County teacher Roy Meyers told The Sun, "The idea that the structural deficit can be eliminated entirely through spending cuts is one that is often proposed by state politicians but rarely followed over the long run. . . . I don't think there's any evidence at all that states--at least systematically--improve the efficiency of programs during recessions. The typical decision process is to look for easy cash. And the easy cash is often in programs that help the politically weak."
In the end, thanks to Ehrlich's veto, the counties will look for ways to keep providing the services that the state is cutting, the state's universities and community colleges will jack up tuition and reduce the number of students, and there is always the prospect of impending layoffs. Of course, one of Ehrlich's promises back when he was campaigning against the "tax and spend" previous administration was "no layoffs of state employees." Which means, in political shorthand, county employees are Somebody Else's Problem.
Already Senate President Thomas "Mike" Miller and House Speaker Michael Busch, both Democrats, are threatening to override Ehrlich's veto come January, but this could set off a carousel of legislative retaliation that could carry all the way through to the next gubernatorial election. After all, how many times can the legislature pass a budget with reasonable tax increases while closing tax loopholes like the Delaware scam to see Ehrlich ax them each May?
One of our all-time favorite H.L. Mencken quotations says, "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want--and deserve to get it, good and hard." It looks as if the time has come when we're getting what we asked for.

10-man Balestier escape with Eagles draw
Balestier Khalsa held Geylang International to a 2-2 draw in Thursday's Great Eastern-YEO's S.League game, despite playing with 10 men for a portion of the second period.
By Alison ChinFollow @@AlisonChin9
Reporting from Bedok Stadium
Tigers captain Paul Cunningham lead the way for his team by opening the scoring after some lacklustre defending from the home side and striker Kim Min-ho doubled their advantage before half-time.
However, a relentless Geylang side chipped away at Balestier's lead in the second period. Wahyudi Wahid struck in the 57th minute to keep his side in the game, before Jozef Kaplan seized a late equalizer to ensure V. Kanan's men a share of the spoils.
The Eagles came undone against defending champions Tampines Rovers in their previous encounter, but stood a better chance of picking up three points against a depleted Balestier side this time round. Darren Stewart was missing the services of key duo Qiu Li and Park Kang-jin to suspension, so the Tigers head coach turned to Jung Hee-bong and Kim to test Geylang goalkeeper Takuma Ito.
Nonetheless, it was Ito's opposite number, Zaiful Nizam, who found his goalmouth under threat during the early encounters. Eagles skipper Kaplan was his usual energetic self, getting past Ridwan Jamil with ease on the right of the penalty box to cut an incisive pass across the face of the danger area for Taufiq Ghani in the sixth minute, forcing a hurried clearance from the Balestier defence before Taufiq could have a go.
Geylang were left to rue their failure to carve out an opening goal, when Balestier drew first blood in the 17th minute. A cross from the right flank courtesy of Ruhaizad Ismail was met by the head of Cunningham after a majestic leap by the Tigers skipper, leaving Ito with no chance to keep his clean sheet intact.
Stewart's decision to field Cunningham upfront instead of the New Zealander's usual role in defence already paid dividends, and Cunningham came close again seven minutes after his opener when team-mate Poh Yi Feng curled a delivery close to the Eagles goalmouth. Ito was forced to scramble off his line to collect just before the 26-year old could get a touch to send it home.
One minute before the half-hour mark, Wahyudi weaved a bit of magic of his own as he attempted to get Geylang back into the game. The Eagles striker mazed his way through a sea of red shirts before he took a whizzing shot toward the Balestier goal that tested Zaiful's reflexes as the custodian tipped the ball away.
For all their tireless running, Geylang could not find the equalizer and seven minutes later they were further behind. Tigers forward Jung carried the ball up-field in a quick counter attack, before laying it off for compatriot Kim midway into the attacking half. With the Eagles defence opting to sit deep, the 21-year old fired a powerful shot from distance to double his team's advantage.
In the 43rd minute, Geylang came close to conceding once more, this time in an identical fashion to the game's opener when they allowed Cunningham free reign during another set-piece, but were let off after the Balestier captain headed his effort over the bar.
Staring defeat in the face, Geylang began the second period with goals on their mind, and in the 57th minute they were given a lifeline. The conscientious Wahyudi ghosted past the Tigers defence to meet Khairulnizam Jumahat's cross at the near post, hitting it home first time to keep his team in contention.
However, after Wahyudi's strike, the Eagles almost let in two more in the short span of seven minutes. First, a wayward volley attempt from Ruhaizad, who picked up the ball on the outskirts of the penalty area after a disappointing clearance from the Geylang defence, before Cunningham outmanoeuvred Khairulnizam down the left to send in a low cross for Jung that forced a last-ditch tackle out of Norihiro Kawakami.
With just one goal separating the two sides, Ridwan did his team no favours by picking up a second yellow card in the 75th minute after committing a series of late tackles on Eagles attackers. Kanan's side nearly got back on equal footing from the free kick conceded by the Balestier player when Khairulnizam's set-piece made its way past all the bodies in the box, only for Zaiful to pull-off a fingertip save.
Just three minutes later, it was Ruhaizad Ismail who was left hanging his head in disappointment. The Tigers attacker had done well to nick the ball off an unsteady Delwinder Singh, but fired his shot past Ito's right-hand post with just the keeper to beat.
Ruhaizad's miss proved costly five minutes from the final whistle as Geylang pulled level, much to delirium of the home support. The Eagles captain had run himself into the ground throughout the game and got his reward when Balestier substitute Shafuan Sutomoh was slow to clear his lines, allowing Kaplan to volley home the equalizer.
Although Geylang rallied behind Kaplan in the last few minutes, a match winner was not forthcoming, forcing both sides to share the spoils at Bedok Stadium.
