Now that's interesting bcess.
Do you have a link?
The Patriots have worked extremely hard to distance themselves from Aaron Hernandez since he was first charged with murder, with owner Robert Kraft saying they were all duped, and coach Bill Belichick retreating to the safe haven of grunting about football.
But they still had to talk about their former tight end to Massachusetts detectives.
According to Jenny Wilson of the Hartford Courant, the statements from both Belichick and Kraft were among the pieces of evidence turned over to Hernandezs defense attorneys, and made available Monday.
Prosecutors also turned over 33 pages of text messages between Belichick and Hernandez between February 2013 and May 2013, the four months leading up to the shooting death of Odin Lloyd.
Thats a load of communication between a coach and a player, especially a coach who doesnt appear to LOL very often.
Detectives also interviewed director of football Berj Najarian, director of player personnel Nicholas Caserio and strength coach Moses Cabrera according to the list of documents which are entered into evidence.
Now that's interesting bcess.
Do you have a link?
UH OH! This might get interesting should Belicheck get brought into this trial as a witness. That's made for TV viewing.
Im sure Billy is in the clear, but still, 33 pages is a LOT of texts.
Could there have been a secret, dare i say, homosexual relationship between the two and the pages of texts were dramatic he said, he said, back forths between the two lust struck men?
33 pages of text messages between Belicheat and the triple-murder-Hernandez? 33 pages? What were they discussing?
So Belichick goes to jail and Brady retires. Maybe then we get our home playoff game. Yes!!
I didn't take belichick for a texting kinda guy. This should be interesting...
This is fantastic news.
Remember when all our resident trolls scoffed at the idea that BB ever would have told Hernandez to "lie low" and to get flophouse in Franklin?
Now $hit's about to get real. We'll soon find out what kind of tips and suggestions BB had for his mass-murdering (just gansta style, not serial killer!) TE.
It's the Patriot way.
BB hasn't said 33 words to anybody, curious about these texts. However, it doesn't matter if BB was at the scene and dug the hole. The media would still call him a genius and the patriots are the classiest fellas eva!

What Is The Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery?
Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical weight-loss procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about 20% of its original size. During this procedure, a thin vertical sleeve of stomach is created using a stapling device, and the rest of the stomach is removed. The sleeve is about the size of a small banana. It is a restrictive procedure, because it restricts the amount of food a person can consume because the size of the remaining stomach is small.
This procedure limits the amount of food you can eat and helps you feel full sooner. It allows for normal digestion and absorption. Food consumed passes through the digestive tract in the usual order, allowing it to be fully absorbed in the body.
The majority of sleeve gastrectomy procedures are performed using a laparoscopic technique, which is considered minimally invasive. This procedure can be done in an outpatient, same-day surgery center or an inpatient hospital setting. Laparoscopic surgery usually results in faster recovery, smaller scars, and less pain than open surgical procedures.
Sleeve gastrectomy can lead to significant weight loss and improved health.
The Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery - Video Presentation
To find out more about how the Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery is performed, watch this video presentation by Dr. Paul O'Brien, the Medical Director for True Results.
Dr. O'Brien is not only a clinical leader at True Results, he is also recognized around the world as one of the foremost authorities on the Lap Band procedure and weight loss surgery. He is also a prolific researcher and publisher of informational articles on the benefits of both procedures.
In most cases, the Sleeve Gastrectomy procedure can be performed using advanced laparoscopic technology in one of our specialty outpatient surgery centers. For patients who have insurance requirements or medical conditions that would require the surgery to be performed in a hospital setting, True Results is affiliated with leading hospital systems and our expert bariatric surgeons can perform the procedure in that setting.
Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the Sleeve Gastrectomy procedure:
Advantages Of The Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Quicker weight loss in the first year
- Less risk of nutrient deficiencies than Gastric Bypass
- Does not involve moving the intestines from one place to another
Disadvantages Of The Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Risk of a leak or bleeding along the staple line or "seam"
- The narrow pouch can kink, fold, or become blocked in some other way
- Over the years, the narrow, tubular stomach could expand and with this additional capacity, the patient could eat more and potentially gain weight
- The long term outcome of weight loss will not be known for several years as this is a newer procedure.
As with any surgical procedure, it is very important to understand all of the risks and benefits associated with the procedure. That is why we offer Free Individual Consultations at our centers. At these consultations our team of experts will discuss the pros and cons of each type of bariatric procedure. That way, you will have the information you need to make your decision about weight loss surgery.

November 28, 2014
The Portage County Sheriff's Department has released the name of a 65-year-old man who was killed following a traffic accident Wednesday afternoon in Plover.
Investigators said a pick up was traveling northbound on I-39 when they believe the driver fell asleep. The driver, Leslie Kollauf drifted off road right and into the east ditch then became airborne after hitting the embankment for the State Highway 54 bridge. The sheriff's department said the vehicle launched into the bridge girder I-beam before falling and coming to rest on its roof on northbound I-39.
Kollauf was extricated and air lifted from the scene and later died as a result of the injuries sustained.

Huxley vs. Orwell: The Webcomic
Stuart McMillen's webcomic adapts (and updates) Postman's famous book-length essay, Amusing Ourselves to Death, which argues that Aldous Huxley's vision of the future in Brave New World was ultimately more accurate than the one proposed by George Orwell in 1984. (Via).
1984 (1954 BBC Sunday-Night Production)
Selections from One-Star Amazon Reviews of Orwell's 1984
[Ed. note: The following citations come from one-star Amazon reviews of George Orwell's novel 1984. I think 1984 is an important dystopian work (although I think Huxley gave us a better book and a more accurate vision in his novel Brave New World). Anyway, I find myself fascinated by one-star Amazon reviews for some reason (see also: See also: Melville's Moby-Dick, Joyce's Ulysses and Markson's Wittgenstein's Mistress) and to be clear, I think some of the one-star reviews of 1984–including ones I cite here—make some pretty valid points (others are atrocious, of course). I've preserved the reviewers' unique styles of punctuation and spelling].
1984 is a fictional novel by George Orwell.
I don't really like futuristic based books…
1984 might have been scary 100 years ago, but not now.
…the plot is fairly simplistic but with redundant lines. "Oceania has always been war with Eastasia." "Freedom is slavery." "Big Brother is watching you." In other words, it was nothing but a lot of nonsensical fillers.
I truly believe that Orwell's sole purpose for writing this novel was to encourage anarchy, and to convince his readers to be subordinate to authority.
The text was so long and unelaborate.
George Orwell is no wordsmith and his style of writing stinks and flows like verbal diarrhea.
i give this book one star i had to read it for class and i know it's suposed to be a "classic" but god itis awful. first of all its NOTHING like the future is probly going to turn out. second of all every one says the aurthor george orwell is so trippy and wierd but i think he's just trying to cover up for the fact that HE CAN'T WRITE. please george do us all a faver and stop writing books.
I am not at all intrested in the goverment. This may be part of the reason that I didnt like it.
I personally think big brother is the man.
It is crude, heavy-handed, superficial propaganda.
…a boring, unoriginal one-hit wonder who wanted to make a buck rehashing much-talked-of, much-written-of themes.
It is dark, depressing, and I finished reading it feeling like less of a human than when I started.
Quote from "1984″: "Humanity is nothing more than one man shoving another man's face in the mud." So, "1984″ tells us that humans are completely useless and we have no reason to exist.
It was just thoughts of a sad man with perverse and suspicouis thoughts. The main character constantly dwelled on how horrible everything was and eventually how he was going to fight against it. But never did, unless you count having an affair and writing in a journal or buying an old paperweight.
Keep your dictionary handy.
I was greatly dissapointed with the redundent and unecessary words.
For me the book took a downword turn during the time where Winston started having a love affair with some girl.
…it doesn't make any sense to think that a novel like this one is really any better than say, Michael Crichton or Stephen King.
The main character, Winston, daydreams about raping Julia, who later becomes his dirty mistress. Then about a hundred pages later, they get caught by the Thought Police, thrown into "prison," and are brain washed. That's pretty much what happens.
…and must we really keep reading in full detail the horror and disgust of Winston's vericose veins?!
Today, his book is the modern bible of the paranoid disgruntled white male and other conspiracy nutcases.
Human beings are BETTER than this…
In addiction, the contradictions throughout the novel were frustrating.
On the surface it seems to be an interesting glance at the "future" that our grandparents envisioned. This however could not be farther from the truth. 1984 is in fact a lame, boring, and novel that attempts to be philosophical.
…a monumental ode to nothingness, an ideologically streamlined state of unbelievable being.
And please for the love of God don't read that "Brave New World" book by Hoxley. It is twice as worse as 1984.
Last time I ever read a history book by this Orwell scrub. He doesn't know a thing about the 80s. Not ONCE did he mention Def Leppard or Karma Chameleon.

"Absent-minded Window-gazing" — Franz Kafka
Absent-minded Window-gazing
What are we to do with these spring days that are now fast coming on? Early this morning the sky was gray, but if you go to the window now you are surprised and lean your cheek against the latch of the casement.
The sun is already setting, but down below you see it lighting up the face of the little girl who strolls along looking about her, and at the same time you see her eclipsed by the shadow of the man behind overtaking her.
And then the man has passed by and the little girl's face is quite bright
"Absent-minded Window-gazing" by Franz Kafka.
"I Felt an Irresistible Repulsion and Tedium" — Tolstoy Disses Shakespeare
From the beginning of Leo Tolsoy's attack on William Shakespeare, A Critical Essay on Shakespeare:
I remember the astonishment I felt when I first read Shakespeare. I expected to receive a powerful esthetic pleasure, but having read, one after the other, works regarded as his best: "King Lear," "Romeo and Juliet," "Hamlet" and "Macbeth," not only did I feel no delight, but I felt an irresistible repulsion and tedium, and doubted as to whether I was senseless in feeling works regarded as the summit of perfection by the whole of the civilized world to be trivial and positively bad, or whether the significance which this civilized world attributes to the works of Shakespeare was itself senseless. My consternation was increased by the fact that I always keenly felt the beauties of poetry in every form; then why should artistic works recognized by the whole world as those of a genius,—the works of Shakespeare,—not only fail to please me, but be disagreeable to me?For a long time I could not believe in myself, and during fifty years, in order to test myself, I several times recommenced reading Shakespeare in every possible form, in Russian, in English, in German and in Schlegel's translation, as I was advised. Several times I read the dramas and the comedies and historical plays, and I invariably underwent the same feelings: repulsion, weariness, and bewilderment. At the present time, before writing this preface, being desirous once more to test myself, I have, as an old man of seventy-five, again read the whole of Shakespeare, including the historical plays, the "Henrys," "Troilus and Cressida," the "Tempest," "Cymbeline," and I have felt, with even greater force, the same feelings,—this time, however, not of bewilderment, but of firm, indubitable conviction that the unquestionable glory of a great genius which Shakespeare enjoys, and which compels writers of our time to imitate him and readers and spectators to discover in him non-existent merits,—thereby distorting their esthetic and ethical understanding,—is a great evil, as is every untruth.
Tolstoy spends most of the rest of the (long) essay showing why he believes King Lear a terrible piece of literature. His rubric is of course terribly subjective, aesthetic, and perhaps ultimately rooted in his own literary mission of realism and social reform—but what I find most remarkable is that, despite all his claims to have read and reread Shakespeare (in English, Russian and German!) he never mentions actually watching a performance of the play.
I read Tolstoy's gripes last night and felt the need (why?!) to reply, but found this morning that George Orwell already did so. From Orwell's rebuttal to Tolstoy, "Lear, Tolstoy and the Fool":
Artistic theories such as Tolstoy's are quite worthless, because they not only start out with arbitrary assumptions, but depend on vague terms ('sincere', 'important' and so forth) which can be interpreted in any way one chooses. Properly speaking one cannot answer Tolstoy's attack. The interesting question is: why did he make it? But it should be noticed in passing that he uses many weak or dishonest arguments. Some of them are worth pointing out, not because they invalidate his main charge but because they are, so to speak, evidence of malice. . . .
There is no argument by which one can defend a poem. It defends itself by surviving, or it is indefensible. And if this test is valid, I think the verdict in Shakespeare's case must be "not guilty". Like every other writer, Shakespeare will be forgotten sooner or later, but it is unlikely that a heavier indictment will ever be brought against him. Tolstoy was perhaps the most admired literary man of his age, and he was certainly not its least able pamphleteer. He turned all his powers of denunciation against Shakespeare, like all the guns of a battleship roaring simultaneously. And with what result? Forty years later Shakespeare is still there completely unaffected, and of the attempt to demolish him nothing remains except the yellowing pages of a pamphlet which hardly anyone has read, and which would be forgotten altogether if Tolstoy had not also been the author of WAR AND PEACE and ANNA KARENINA.
A Review of David Markson's The Last Novel (Composed Mostly in Citations from Said Novel)
Unsure of how to "review" David Marson's last novel The Last Novel, I here provide a series of citations from said novel with my own brief comments. The citations are organized not by theme or idea, but rather simply by the order in which they appear in the book, from first to last. My intention is to provide a clear picture of Markson's method with some brief commentary on his themes.
By way of recommendation: The Last Novel engrossed and obsessed me, commanding most of my attention for four days, during which time I read it twice and then picked at again and again, as one might return to the generous leftovers of a Thanksgiving meal.
I hope I have not strained the limits of copyright law with my citations of Markson's citations. To wit, from the colophon:
Copyright © 2007 by David Markson
All rights reserved. No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any manner whatsoever without written permission from the Publisher, except in the case of brief quotations embodied in critical articles and reviews.
Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data
Markson, David.
The last novel / David Markson.
p. cm.
1. Novelists—Fiction. 2. Fiction—Authorship—Fiction.
3. Psychological fiction. I. Title.
Is The Last Novel fiction? Does this question matter? "Fiction–Authorship–Fiction" — this seems like a fair descriptor.
Our author, by way of summary, announces his themes, his name, and his prophetic conclusion:
Old. Tired. Sick. Alone. Broke.
All of which obviously means that this is the last book Novelist is going to write.
And now his method, followed by two examples of said method:
Nonlinear. Discontinuous. Collage-like. An assemblage.
I do not see why exposition and description are a necessary part of a novel.
Said Ivy Compton-Burnett.
I am quite content to go down to posterity as a scissors and paste man.
Said Joyce.
And a comment on that method, and Novelist's textual place in it:
A novel of intellectual reference and allusion, so to speak minus much of the novel.
And thus in which Novelist will say more about himself only when he finds no way to evade doing so, but rarely otherwise.
On the first theme announced, "Old":
Rereading a Raymond Chandler novel in which Philip Marlowe stops in for a ten-cent cup of coffee.
Old enough to remember when the coffee would have cost half that.
A citation that seems to hold all the themes, but especially "Sick" and "Broke"—-and then a Renard citation that fits Markson (or "Novelist," if you prefer) into a grand tradition of starving artists:
The bleak image Novelist is granted of himself as he asks a question of a local pharmacist — and becomes aware of the woman contemplating the conspicuously threadbare and even ragged ends of his coat sleeves.
Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money.
Said Jules Renard.
On aging:
Moments in which Novelist does something like leaving his desk to retrieve a book from across the room — and finding himself staring vacantly into the refrigerator.
Or tossing his keys into a drawer — without having opened the drawer
Markson instructs us how to read his work, and at the same time makes a grand grab at glory; he then moves to reflect on death, and perhaps a fear of going unread, before pointing out the sublime powers of art :
Novelist's personal genre. For all its seeming fragmentation, nonetheless obstinately cross-referential and of cryptic interconnective syntax.
Wondering why one is surprised to realize that Thoreau was dead at forty-five.
A lament of Schopenhauer's:
Over how frequently the mere purchase of a book is mistaken for the appropriation of its contents.
Two pages of The Mill on the Floss are enough to start me crying.
Said Proust.
The intersection of commerce and art and madness (or, really, I just like this citation):
Because bookshops are among the very few places where one can spend time without spending any money, George Orwell noted, any number of practically certifiable lunatics are guaranteed to be regularly found in most of them.
My least favorite reading experience of all time is Clarissa:
The endless commentary, and analysis, and even retelling, in Clarissa. Anyone reading it just for the story would hang himself, Johnson said.
A good definition, but also a sideways description of entering The Last Novel:
Thinking with someone else's brain.
Schopenhauer called reading.
Markson is fond of the dependent clause as a stand-alone thought. He often lets the reader complete the sentence, or, as below, responds perhaps obliquely with another citation—his synthesis is subtle but always in play:
Reviewers who have accused Novelist of inventing some of his anecdotes and/or quotations — without the elemental responsibility to do the checking that would verify every one of them.
Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost what it feels about dogs.
Said John Osborne.
The Last Novel is in part a work of canon-formation, one that situates Markson's place in arts and letters; it is often angry or bitter, as he tries to situate being "Alone" and "Broke" into a historical tradition of suffering writers:
Another of Novelist's economic-status epiphanies:
Walking four or five blocks out of his way, and back, to save little more than nickels on some common household item.
While needing to stop to rest at least two or three times en route.
Writers are the beggars of Western society.
Said Octavio Paz.
There is no way of being a creative writer in America without being a loser.
Said Nelson Algren.
Markson repeatedly reveals his anxiety of influence: Where and how will he be remembered when he dies?:
Old enough to have started coming upon likenesses on postage stamps of other writers he had known personally or had at least met in passing.
Occasionally in The Last Novel, because he doesn't always attribute his citations, it's unclear to me if a string of sentences are original to Markson or not. Markson describes his method again:
A seminonfictional semifiction.
And with its interspersed unattributed quotations at roughest count adding up to a hundred or more.
A note on book theft, germane to (the original mission of) this website:
Please return this book. I find that though many of my friends are poor mathematicians, they are nearly all good bookkeepers.
Read Walter Scott's bookplate.
A dependent clause:
Reviewers who protest that Novelist has lately appeared to be writing the same book over and over.
Again, the intersection of economics, art, and how we honor and remember genius (with the implicit underlying anxiety over Markson's own fate):
Before the Euro, the portrait of Yeats on Ireland's twenty-pound note.
America's Whitman twenty-dollar bill, when?
The Melville ten?
I think the Melville ten is a grand idea. I'd put Hawthorne on the twenty and Emerson on the penny.
On death-dialing:
A quirky new impulse of Novelist's, at news of several recent deaths — Dialing the deceased, in the likelihood that no one would have yet disconnected their answering machines — and contemplating their voices one eerie final time.
The voice of an agitated colleague? Friend? Student? Is the quote a composite of complaints? Is it verbatim?:
Listen, I bought your latest book. But I quit after about six pages. That's all there is, those little things?
Many of us have wondered:
Why did Harper Lee never write another novel?
It is possible she never wrote that first one.
Again, money and writers:
America's Emily Dickinson dime?
We could put Thoreau on the nickel and Poe on the fifty.
Conclusions as a kind of interception; the author offstage, off scene, ob skena — obscene:
Novelist's personal genre. In which part of the experiment is to continue keeping him offstage to the greatest extent possible — while compelling the attentive reader to perhaps catch his breath when things achieve an ending nonetheless.
Conclusions are the weak point of most authors.
George Eliot said.
If you know what you're doing, you don't get intercepted.
Said Johnny Unitas.
I feel like I've skated over the book, failed to plumb it at all: But I also protest that the book is a work of autocriticism, a work that decenters its themes, bats them around, analyzes them, tosses them back to the reader, sometimes bitter, sometimes melancholy, always erudite and engaging.
I cite from the end now. Can the end be spoiled? Markson tells us this is his last, that he will die ("Old. Tired. Sick. Alone. Broke."). He dies a few years after the publication of The Last Novel. (He dies on the day my son is born, or, rather, his body is found on the day my son is born. He is very much alone. The New York Times publishes his obituary on my birthday). The novel ends with a series of citations that mull on death:
Dispraised, infirm, unfriended age.
Sophocles calls it.
Unregarded age in corners thrown.
Shakespeare echoes.
And what it means to be an artist, a writer, a critic, to write in and on and through others' books:
The worn copy of Donne's verses, inked throughout with notes in Coleridge's handwriting. And at the rear:
I shall die soon, my dear Charles Lamb, and then you will not be sorry that I bescribbled your book.
Life as pain, death as transcendence:
Then come kiss me, sweet-and-twenty,Youth's a stuff will not endure. Be patient now, my soul, thou hast endured worse than this.
Odysseus once says.
Mais où sont les neiges d'antan? Is it true then, what they say — that we become stars in the sky when we die?
Asks someone in Aristophanes.
Banal signage or access to ascension?:
Access to Roof for Emergency Only.
Alarm Will Sound if Door Opened.
To reiterate and move on:
Old. Tired. Sick. Alone. Broke.
The old man who will not laugh is a fool.
Als ick kan.
George Orwell's Recipes for Plum Cake and Christmas Pudding
Huxley vs. Orwell: The Webcomic
Stuart McMillen's webcomic does a marvelous job of adapting (and updating!) Neil Postman's famous book-length essay, Amusing Ourselves to Death, which argues that Aldous Huxley's vision of the future in Brave New World was ultimately more accurate than the one proposed by George Orwell in 1984. (Via).
Famous Authors' Typewriters
Christopher Hitchens on Orwell's Animal Farm
Christopher Hitchens on George Orwell's Animal Farm in this weekend's issue of The Guardian. From the essay:
It is sobering to consider how close this novel came to remaining unpublished. Having survived Hitler's bombing, the rather battered manuscript was sent to the office of TS Eliot, then an important editor at Faber & Faber. Eliot, a friendly acquaintance of Orwell's, was a political and cultural conservative, not to say reactionary. But, perhaps influenced by Britain's alliance with Moscow, he rejected the book on the grounds that it seemed too "Trotskyite". He also told Orwell that his choice of pigs as rulers was an unfortunate one, and that readers might draw the conclusion that what was needed was "more public-spirited pigs". This was not perhaps as fatuous as the turn-down that Orwell received from the Dial Press in New York, which solemnly informed him that stories about animals found no market in the US. And this in the land of Disney . . .
Word of the Day: Sillograph
From the OED:
"A writer of satires or lampoons; applied to Timon of Phlius (268 BC).
1845 LEWES Hist. Philos. I. 77 His state of mind is finely described by Timon the sillograph. 1849 GROTE Hist. Greece II. xxxvii. IV. 526 The sillograph Timon of the third century B.C.
So sillographer, sillographist.
1656 BLOUNT Glossogr., Sillographer, a writer of scoffs, taunts and revilings; such was Timon. 1775 ASH, Sillographist. 1845 Encycl. Metrop. X. 393/1 Menippus indeed, in common with the Sillographers, seems to have introduced much more parody than even the earliest Roman Satirists."
Famous sillographers include:
Timon of Philius (as noted above)

Basal Body Temperature: What Factors Can Affect Your BBT?
What factors affect your basal body temperature? If I go to bed late, or drink wine or coffee, or smoke a few cigarettes, can this affect my BBT?Question:
Toni Weschler, MS
Toni Weschler is the author of the popular book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. By offering a simple and effective means of identifying... Read more
One of the reasons you take your temperature (basal body temperature, or BBT) first thing upon awakening is so that you won't have many variables that can influence it. This allows you to rely on it for a means of identifying your fertile phase.
If you have an occasional temperature that is artificially high due to reasons such as fever, a restless night's sleep, or alcohol consumption the night before (coffee the night before does not seem to affect temps the next morning, unless it prevents you from getting at least three hours of consecutive sleep before taking your temps), you may cover the outlying temperature with your thumb when you are interpreting your chart. Note the outlying temperature as you would any other, but then draw dotted lines between the temperatures on either side, so that it doesn't interfere with your ability to decipher your chart.
In order to get an accurate BBT reading, though, it is important that you take your temps first thing upon awakening, about the same time of day, after at least three hours of consecutive sleep and before doing anything, including talking on the phone, drinking water, getting up to urinate, or (horrors!) smoking a cigarette. Of course, I won't even go down that road, because you've already heard it a zillion times before, you should absolutely not smoke if you are trying to get pregnant, or are already pregnant.
In order to properly interpret your chart, you need to be able to draw a coverline. To draw the coverline, remember the general concept that you are always eyeing the last six temperatures at a time. The first day you see a temperature of at least .two degrees higher, than the highest of the last six days, you assume you've had a thermal shift. Then count back six temperatures, highlight them and draw the coverline one-tenth of a degree above the highest of those temperatures.
Once your temperatures have been above the coverline for at least three days, you can be virtually positive that you have ovulated. Post-ovulatory temps will usually remain high for about 12 to 16 days, with 10 days being the minimum in order for a fertilized egg to have enough time to burrow into your uterine lining.Answer:

- Très bon endroitYolandeDined on 10/31/2014Première visite tout était bon, bouffe, service, une seule déception, comme c'était durant la semaine $39. je me suis fait dire, lorsqu'on m'a téléphoné pour confirmer ma réservation, que le menu régulier serait aussi disponible, on m'a dit "sauf le menu dégustation, tout est disponible à la carte". Quand je suis arrivée au resto il n'y avait que le menu spécial et 3 autres items de disponibles: le plateau de charcuterie, pour 2, un steak et un sandwich de viande fumée, j'étais très déçue.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, long waitmadimattVIPDined on 8/4/2014The food here is very good. No complaints at all regarding the food. Order the charcuterie and cheese platter. Beautiful selection of in house cured meats. Lobster cavatelli, wild mushroom risotto and a porc plate. All awesome. The reason for my complaint is the time between the apetiser and the main meals. It was quite long and we had to complain about it. This happened the last time we were here as well. Our server was very nice and professional. I loved that he suggested that it would be enough to take the smaller portions of pasta with the platter. Usually the server tends to say nothing to go for a higher bill. As for the ambience, well, it was a Monday so there weren't many people.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good but very expensiveBen67Dined on 7/7/2014The restaurant is good but is way overpriced, most likely because the owners thinks people eating in restaurants at "Le Plateau" are rich. There are a lot of other good restaurants cheaper but equally good around "Chez Victoire"Special Features:

- Big disappointment - food/serviceShiftnShavenDined on 3/7/2014This was my second time at Chez Victoire. First time was excellent. I expected a similar experience but very disappointed. I don't know if there was an ownership or management change but the menu left me uninspired. Started off with the escargot which was okay at best, followed by a salmon tartar which was actually pretty good but the dish set up was awkward where the large crouton was plopped on top of the tartar along with a mash of vegetables/salad pilled onto the crouton making the tartar invisible and difficult to access because of the food clutter. Took forever to get 3rd course. Hostess was unempathetic. Luckily a second hostess tried to help but combination of poor service and lack luster food doesn't make me want to go back.Special Features:

I wanted to have a Bowmore Scotch after my meal and they tried to convince me to get a Japanese type of Scotch. I told them that I wanted a Bowmore and they came back with the Japanese Scotch, which I tried and did not like. They should have been more honest with me and tell me that they did not have the Bowmore Scotch anymore which was on their list. To make it short, it is not a bad place and the food was good but I will try another restaurant next time.Special Features:

Doing business internationally is increasingly common. But how is it possible to know exactly what to do when working with a variety of cultures? First, question the assumptions you have about what behaviors mean. Eye contact, for example. In the United States, avoidance of eye contact is usually interpreted as lack of confidence, even dishonesty. But in some cultures, not looking a person in the eye is a sign of respect.

Saturday Night Live alum and Portlandia star Fred Armisen is officially dating Orange is the New Black actress Natasha Lyonne.
The actors made their official debut as a couple at a series of parties before and after the 2014 Emmy Awards on Monday night.
Armisen was previously married to Elisabeth Moss, best known for her role as Peggy Olsen on Mad Men. Hopefully they were seated in different sections at the awards, because the Moss-Armisen divorce was not a pretty one.
The couple was married for just six months and split amidst accusations that Armisen cheated on Moss with Abby Elliott, his much younger SNL co-star.
The infidelity was never confirmed, but Armisen and Elliott began dating just weeks after his divorce.

Triglycerides – not cholesterol – is the bona fide risk factor for coronary heart disease17,783 views
When your doctor is visiting you about your blood work, she normally will immediately zero in on your total cholesterol (TC). If it's over 200 mg/dl, your doctor will likely recommend a statin cholesterol-lowering drug. If you decline, expect repeated attempts to educate you about the danger of 'high cholesterol.'
In these circumstances, it's best to change the subject to Fasting Glucose, Triglycerides, and HDL. As was known as early as the 1950s, total cholesterol is a poor, unreliable predictor of risk of heart disease.
Instead, have your doctor focus on the following four numbers:
Lipid Goal______________________
- Fasting Glucose (FG) below 87.1
- Triglycerides (TG) below 100
- HDL over 60 for men; over 70 for women
- Ratio of TG:HDL 1 = low risk; 2 = increased risk; 4 = high risk
First, you want Fasting Glucose (FG) – fasting blood sugar – to be below 87.1. According to Dr. Atkins' 40 years of clinical experience as a cardiologist and family physician, your risk of heart disease increases in linear manner as fasting glucose goes over 100. Optimal fasting glucose is less than 87.1.
If your doctor doesn't warn you at 95, you will be diagnosed "pre-diabetic" at 110 and diabetic at 125. Elevated blood sugar is also a marker for Metabolic Syndrome – a cluster of risk factors that includes elevated blood sugar, chronically high insulin levels, elevated triglycerides and low HDL.
In Metabolic Syndrome, elevated fasting glucose is associated with elevated triglycerides. Triglycerides are blood fats made in the liver from excess energy, especially excess fructose (as in white sugar and high fructose corn syrup). As TG goes over 100, your risk of a heart attack increases in linear manner. (The medical profession is still currently at 150 before they alert you.)
In part, elevated triglycerides are a measure of "blood stickiness." At 175, most people have clot-prone blood and are at greater risk of a heart attack or sudden death. In teeter totter fashion, as triglycerides go up, HDL (so called 'good cholesterol') goes down. HDL over 60 in men (over 70 in women) is associated with protection from heart disease.
(As you may know, HDL is not cholesterol; it is a lipoprotein, a carrier of cholesterol and fat in the bloodstream.)
The fourth and final number is the all important ratio of TG:HDL, ideally 1, representing low risk of heart disease. If your Triglycerides are 80 and your HDL is 80, you're at low risk of heart disease (80:80 = 1). If your TG is 160 and your HDL is 40, you are at high risk of heart disease (160:40 = 4).
While it did not filter down to most practicing doctors, the results of five NIH-sponsored studies released in 1977 confirmed that there is a teeter-totter relationship between triglycerides and HDL; the higher the HDL, the lower the triglycerides; the lower the HDL, the higher the triglycerides.
According to Gary Taubes (Good Calories Bad Calories), in all five studies:
"The inverse relationship between HDL and heart disease held true for every age group from forty-five year olds to octogenarians, in both men and women, and in every ethnic group from Framingham, Massachusetts to Honolulu."
Years ago, in several newsletters, Dr. Atkins warned about the danger of elevated triglycerides:
"The higher the triglyceride reading, the greater the risks of a heart attack.
"Men with the highest triglycerides were 2.5 times more likely to have a heart attack than those with the lowest measurements."
Atkins quoted from the Journal of the American Medical Association, vol. 276, p. 882, 1996.
Back to Total Cholesterol
Now, your doctor may still want to discuss TC, but unless it's below 160 or above 350, it's not worth talking about. (Cross out with a black marker.) Writing in the 1950s, Dr. John Gofman, a medical physicist at the University of California, who discovered the various lipoproteins (such as VLDL and LDL), wrote, "Total cholesterol is a false and highly dangerous guide to the effect of diet on heart disease…" Gofman added:
"Neglect of the carbohydrate factor can lead to rather serious consequences."
By 1955, Peter Ahrens of Rockefeller University had reached the same conclusion. Ahrens had discovered a way of measuring liver-made triglycerides delivered in the blood by Gofman's newly discovered VLDL particles. Ahrens referred to triglyceride buildup in the blood as carbohydrate-induced-lipemia; the promotion of sticky, clot-prone blood, a consequence of consuming excess dietary carbohydrates – not excess fat or cholesterol.
As Gofman, Ahrens and other credible scientists made these startling discoveries – pointing to excess carbs as the heart disease culprit, Key's "cholesterol bandwagon" had already gathered too much steam, and – going forward – very little consideration (funding) was given to any alternative hypothesis. Supported by the American Heart Association and vegetable oil lobbyists, Ancel Keys' anti-saturated-fat agenda has prevailed to this day!
If the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health had seriously considered the solid science of Gofman, Ahrens and many other credible scientists from the 1950s, they would have reached these conclusions about the dietary effects contributing to heart disease:
- Dietary fat, whether saturated or not, is not a cause of obesity, heart disease or any other chronic disease.
- The problem is the carbohydrates in the diet, especially excess sugars – sucrose and high fructose corn syrup specifically.
- Through their effects on blood fat abnormalities – elevated Triglycerides and low HDL – refined carbohydrates, sugars and starches are the dietary cause of diabetes and coronary heart disease.
- Total cholesterol is not a reliable predictor of heart disease risk. The majority of people who have a heart attack have low or normal cholesterol.

Please can you provide studies to show that trigs are the key marker? I would love to look at them.
It would be helpful if the values and units are also given in SI. Does anyone have a link to find them easily?
Thanks Alan!
"The ratio TG/HDL-c, initially proposed by Gaziano et al,17 is an atherogenic index that has proven to be a highly significant independent predictor of myocardial infarction, even stronger than TC/HDL-c and LDL-c/HDL-c. The Copenhagen Male Study showed triglycerides on their own to be another strong risk factor, but it found that stratifying triglyceride levels by HDL-c levels led to more accurate detection of increased risk of coronary disease."
From this study:
High Ratio of Triglycerides to HDL-Cholesterol Predicts Extensive Coronary Disease
Hi Alan. You say fasting glucose of 87.1 mg/dl (= 4.83889 mmol/l). Mine is below, so I'm happy but it varies daily between 2.9 and 4.0mmol/l. Is that normal?
I heard about a pure triglyceride lowering drug that doesn't raise your cholesterol, Vascepa
Woah this website is a plus i enjoy reading your content. Be inside the good work! You know, lots of consumers are wanting game with this details, you can help them enormously.
Comparisons of my cholesterol levels from fall 2013 and then february 2014
I first read the numbers and was happy that for once in my adult life (43 years old now), my total cholesterol was below 200. But after reading this article, I am now NOT resting easy. I was proud of the fact that the doctor and I opted against cholesterol reducing meds until I made a true attempt at changing my diet and lifestyle. I'm made great strides and worked hard, but am baffled as to why my HDL went down so low and my TRG's have raised so much. Can someone please explain? If I am reading your article correctly, I calculate that I am at a greater risk for heart disease now than I was before.
Nsharra you may have made a typo as TRG is showing as going down not up.
I changed my diet to higher fat, lower carb (although not too strict due to festive/holiday season) I didn't have a blood test beforehand but results are:
Jan 2014 – HDL 104, LDL 163 (do not know density type), TRG 43, TC 277 and fasting glucose 88.
As a 58 yr old female I think its heading in the healthier direction. I will see if I can get LDL high density and low density tested for.
had a lipid panel done today. results were TC 313, HDL over 100 (they didn't give the number which I thought was weird), LDL 194 ( very high but no VAP.. I was hoping they'd break it out since I know this is high but my HDL's are so high ).. triglycerides 96 and blood glucose 78. no body better try pushing statins on me. despite the high TC, I think I am doing pretty well for a 49 year old woman. should I be concerned?
Like Alice I want to get the breakdown on m LDL's
tIf my TG/HDL is 98/100 almost 1:1, still are the numbers too high in and of themselves? My Triglycerides are 64. LDL is at 149, TC 249 really doesn't bother me.
The big difference in the last year for me is that I went back to eating eggs almost daily in the morning. My HDL went up several points.
Hi Everyone,
It is important to note that the authour of this article is not an MD nor does he hold a graduate degree in any biology/chemistry related field – he admits this himself. Please listen to your doctors and not what you read online. This is not a personal attack on the authour, but it is extremely easy to find literature to support your point as there are constantly conflicting reports regarding the efficacy of using certain biomarkers to predict heart disease. Everyone is different, and as such, the treatment/pre-treatments must be tailored towards the individual. The reason why looking at levels of cholesterol are so important (especially LDL) is because this is what facilitates the progression of atherosclerosis (the clogging of the artery). Higher levels of circulating LDL cholesterol are directly proportionate to increased levels of atherosclerosis (leading to heart attacks). LDL becomes oxidized and "activates" your arteries. Your "activated" arteries begin to attract circulating white blood cells which adhere to the arterial wall. Over time (15-20+ years) these white blood cells become necrotic and further perpetuate the disease (more white blood cells become attracted to the site and are unable to emigrate). Eventually your arteries become clogged leading to potential heart attacks.
All in all, it is important to look at the WHOLE picture and not just focus on one biomarker and disregard others. Please listen to your doctors and become fully educated on the subject matter. As hard as it is to believe sometimes, they are here to help you.
This is my first time pay a visit at here and i am truly pleassant
to read everthing at one place.
Hi my loved one! I wish to say that this article is
awesome, great written and come with almost all vital infos.

Findings for PPC in Charlotte
Charlotte Ranks Amongst Least Expensive Markets for Google Adwords in USA
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Charlotte was the 62nd least expensive city in USA in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of September 2014. Charlotte also ranks amongst the least expensive cities in North Carolina, ranking as number 1st. In the study, San Buenaventura ranked as the most expensive city in the country, while Ontario ranked as the least expensive city.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 287% Higher in Charlotte than High Point
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Charlotte are 287% higher than in High Point. The average price of a click in Charlotte is $13.75.
This price difference is understandable though, given the population of High Point is less than Charlotte, which generally means less competition and therefore lower prices.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another city of equal population, Fort Worth, and found the average price of a click in Charlotte was 31% lower than in Fort Worth. This suggests that perhaps prices in Charlotte are relatively low.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

Easter Candy - Anything new this year?
- rworange Mar 21, 2007 02:55 PM
I had an orange Cadbury egg which I never saw before. I like Cadbury eggs. I like that yellow dyed center that is supposed to look like a yolk. The orange flavor is a good addition.
I saw a new color of peeps this year - green. Much better than last year's angry red peeps at Target.
Anything else?
re: Booklegger451
From the Chow Grinder blog ... it doesn't sound good ...
Brave enough to actually perform a taste test, the blog 20 Little Toes reports:
"This is not anything remotely like a normal Peep. It reeks of strong vanilla scent and the aftertaste is just awful. The texture isn't soft and fluffy at all, in fact it's almost rubbery."
And there are more horror stories in the above link.
I wonder if they still properly microwave and can be used in some of these many recipes like the peep souflfle. There's also a gratuitous Easter candy / wine pairing in this topic.
From personal experience I will tell you that the peepuccino (peep in a cup of coffee) isn't all that. Although I will say the results on this peeps & science site are NOT 100% correct. Peeps will disolve in hot liquid ... except the eye of the peep ... supposedly even sulfuric acid won't destroy the eye.
I might try the Meyer Lemon Peeps de Crème this year. Or maybe the peep turduken
re: ArikaDawn
The coconut kisses are amazing. There are also vanilla cream, truffle, strawberry dark chocolate, orange dark chocolate, and cherry cordial. I've seen some, like the orange, before. Like ArikaDawn, I'm not sure if these are just for this season, or if they figured now would be a good time to test drive all the new flavors, but I really like where they're going with this.
re: pamalamb
Does the coconut resemble Mounds-type coconut or is it cream only? Would love something like Mounds for Easter baskets-daughter's favorite candy. Thanks.
re: foodseek
It's creamy, but there might be little flecks of coconut. Definitely not like Mounds. I believe, however, that they make Mounds and Almond Joy eggs, like the Reeses eggs mentioned below.
re: pamalamb
I agree. Hate the dark chocolate variety. Love the original - find them completely addictive. I've eaten so many it made the roof of my mouth raw!
This isn't a new Easter candy, but one that was around a couple of years ago that I still think about - I think they were called PB Mallow eggs. Milk chocolate eggs with peanut butter and marshmallow fluff filling. I am embarassed to admit that I still miss them. Has anyone seen these things lately?
I know I have just ruined my credibility when it comes to chocolate. It's really weird because normally I like good dark chocolate, and these are the opposite of that. Maybe Easter causes me to regress to my childhood palate.
re: chompy
I stumbled upon a box of these once, in a discount store, but that was about six years ago. They were fantastic!
These aren't really new, but they're a longstanding favorite of mine - Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - that come in an EGG shape. They also do christmas tree shapes around the holidays. They're softer than regular RPB cups and a bit bigger.
It takes extreme feats of willpower not to polish off the whole 6-pack. So good, but so bad!
re: hypertomatoes
for some reason, the egg shaped ones taste much better to me than the regularly shaped Reese's!
re: mollyomormon
Me too! I've always liked Reese's anyway, but don't get them often. But they have the darned eggs on the counter at the little shop near work, and I can't help getting one now and then. Tastes better for some reason than the regular cups, perhaps because of the thicker peanut butter middle.
re: CrazyOne
Definitely! I think they're so yummy because they're lacking the harder chocolate shell part. I just picked up my yearly 6-pack of RPB Eggs yesterday. I stuck them in the freezer! Can't wait to have one when I get home.
I've been searching for bunny corn - equivalent to candy corn but in spring colors. Has anyone seen it in a drugstore or Target?
Also in search of Easter Mellowcremes from Brach - bunnies and chicks similar to the Halloween pumpkins which I can find EVERYWHERE at Halloween. I haven't seen the Easter version and I really, really want to try some.
re: swissgirl
I saw bunny corn at super wal-mart.
re: ArikaDawn
Our Walgreens ad had bunny corn in it on sale this week.
re: mamaciita
thanks for the information ArikaDawn and mamaciita, I will try to procure bunny corn this weekend!
re: swissgirl
I was ordering candy from my fave candy website and they also have bunny corn. If you can't find it in stores here is a link.
re: ArikaDawn
A Chow article has a link to a Wham-O make your own peeps kit.
Anyone seen this? Where? And how do they taste? More important, do they properly balloon if put in the microwave?
re: cleanplate
They do have cocoa Easter Peeps. They are shaped like bunnies. I haven't tried them, but I saw them at my local grocery and at Walgreen's. They are very cute.
re: squeaks
Oh my god. You may have just started me down a very dangerous path...
re: MellieMac
dipped peeps....ooooooooooo
re: toodie jane
I saw edible candy grass at Target. It didn't look very interesting. Haven't had to shop for Easter candy in a long time but have granchildren now. Decided they were still too young for candy so I'm not sure how we'll make the trail to the hidden basket.
I don't know if the turquoise colored Bunny peeps are new, but I find I enjoy biting the ears off more than I do the peep heads. Also they are will be a nice add to my Peep holiday ornament collection (poke a hole mid-brow and let air dry for 9 months).
does anyone remember the coconut eggs (dark chocolate) and peanut butter eggs (milk chocolate)? they were probably about a half-pound and came in a box w/cellophane window. they were always my favorite and i haven't seen them in several years.
I'm putting together a full list of "edible bunnies" for the blog I write for—to be posted in the next day or so. Thanks for the tips from everyone. For more ideas, check out my full list.
