|Vikings owner Wilf throws support behind coach Childress despite slow start
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 02 October 2007 13:41
``We just feel very comfortable with Coach Childress and with his philosophy, and we're behind him 100 percent,'' Wilf said Tuesday.
After starting his first season 4-2, Childress has lost 11 of 14 games in charge of the Vikings. The biggest problem is an unproductive offense, which now features dangerous rookie running back Adrian Peterson but hasn't done enough to win with a reliable defense.
``We're built to be consistent on the long term,'' Wilf said. ``We have a commitment to getting a team that is not built for a one-shot affair, so to speak. We want to build a team that's consistent for many, many years to come. For decades to come. I think that - I know that - the people that we have in place are the right people.''
He added: ``We're getting there. I can see it, and the blueprint is definitely there. We'll get there, and hopefully we'll get there sooner rather than later.''
Some of the coaching criticism, fueled by fan emotion, oversaturated media and time between games, is simply part of life in the NFL. But the increasing disillusionment among fans is a clear challenge for the franchise, which is faced with the possibility of the first local television blackout in 10 years.
The local Fox affiliate bought remaining tickets to the home opener, and Packers fans helped sales last week, but there is no guarantee of a continued extension of the current 98-game sellout streak. Wilf said he's not worried.
``I'm more concerned about winning the next game and moving on,'' he said.
The Vikings don't play this week. They're on the road against the Bears on Oct. 14.
``The fans are great here. I don't think there's much frustration here,'' Wilf said. ``I think there's a lot of patience here, and I just hope I can reward them with more and more victories - sooner rather than later. And I think we'll get that done.''
Wilf used the word patience several times on Tuesday. He spoke about ``the business of football'' at a University of Minnesota luncheon sponsored by the Carlson School of Management.
Most of his speech centered on the importance of building an organization that can sustain success, being connected to and involved in the community, and - of course - the eminence of building a new stadium.
Public and legislative backing of a proposed retractable-roof, multi-use facility to replace the Metrodome on its current downtown site has been cool.
Wilf carefully worded his desire to solve the financing problem soon.
``We're very, very patient. We're here for the long term. We're not moving the team. We're here. We just want to make sure that everyone understands it's an important issue,'' he said.
He also stressed that rising construction costs could push the price tag well past the current estimate of $954 million. The Vikings have pledged about $250 million toward that.
``Patience can be very costly and make things prohibitive,'' Wilf said.
The Vikings plan to push hard for the stadium when the 2008 legislative session begins, but they realize fallout from the bridge collapse will limit their opportunity. Wilf said infrastructure and other issues like education and health care should be priorities for the state, but he stumped for the consideration of stadium funding as important for the ``quality of life'' in Minnesota.
``I know everyone has the passion for the Vikings to try to get it done,'' he said.

Is it tough for an NRI to raise a child with Indian values?

Yes, NRI's may learn Indian ethos by watching only Indian spiritual channels (of course without adopting any one particular Guru), and same is the advice to resident Indian children. Indian values are anyway under threat, curtsey TV serials, entertainment channels, movies, press, etc. Indian marriage and family system is a unique success in the world, and is being frowned upon by many J pigs, who are encouraging confusing episodes in the media for misleading children and youth into lust & greed.

No, it shouldn't be because a child learns his 'sanskar' or values from his home and if the family is very sure of its values and practices it at home, the child will atuomatically inculcate them in his lifestyle too. Outside influence comes later.Answered by Manisha Mehra, 05 Sep '08 08:41 am

Actually now they are more INDIAN than Indians living in India.Answered by proud mom, 06 Aug 08:51 pm
It is tough indeed, because the environment in which the NRIs spend their lives is totally different from the environment in India which influences the values, customs and habits.Answered by mandook, 17 Jul '11 01:14 pm

Yes. It is becoming difficult even in India nowadays. It may not be in the best interest of the child to bring him up totally with Indian values. he/she will get confused as their society follow different values. they will also be isolated from their friends in teenage. Besides what is the chance that an NRI child is going to come back and live in India. Best to concenrate on making them good human beingsAnswered by sangeetha, 03 Jun '10 10:24 pm
Yes, ofcourse. i have been twice to u.s. in span of l4 years and stayed longer at my friends places and daughter's place and observed myself.Answered by ASHWIN BAB ULAL PATWA, 08 Sep '08 07:09 pm
Its doesnt matter it's NRI or resident Indian it depends upon parents & child attitude. From metros to rural areas of India we can find teenager wearing exposing out fits & adopting western culture relations in the name of broad-minded thinking. I know many NRI teenagers bound to Indian tradition& values.Answered by sagu leela bhavaniprasad, 08 Sep '08 06:52 pm
Yes it is because the children say we are born here and are the citizens of this country.Answered by anurag gupta, 08 Sep '08 06:40 pm

The Tao of Badass book reveals in detail .
There are so many single men and women in the world , but you have trouble finding one of them . While the friends or family you lot are already in a happy relationship and enduring love . Why did that happen ?
According to The Tao of Badass Try staring into the mirror and you will get a myriad of reasons in your head about your shortcomings .
You ugly ? Short ? Not rich ? Boring ? Shy ? Or a combination of these ?
Then you feel it's shortcomings as a pile of bricks in the back , which is very burdensome and undermine confidence in yourself . After that , you begin to blame yourself , others , and luck , until finally you decide to give up and not do anything .
On the other hand , what about those who have high confidence , attractive appearance , wealth , and career success , but have not found love or best partner for themselves ? Are they too picky ? Too busy ? Or are there other reasons ? ( The Tao of Badass Review)
If you really want to find love and live a better love life and happy , you make yourself as comfortable as possible and continue reading ...
Actually , the only reason is much more simple and honest than all the above reasons are :
You hardly find love because you do not give yourself You CHANCE to find love .
In fact , I found quite a lot of people who have shortcomings such as the above , but they can find the best pair and love each other . So , said Joshua Pellicer why you think can not find it ?
Looking for Love
Most people equate the meaning of the " Looking for love " and " Pursuit of Love " . Yet two things are very different . Finding love is done by means of an active , elegant , slowly , and fun .
According to The Tao of Badass PDF Download , on the contrary , the pursuit of love done in a way that is aggressive , hasty , pressing or forcing , and filled with tricks . No wonder the chasers love this often fails , even shunned the target with the bow .
If you really want to find the best love for you, then you need to move to look for . Many people ( especially women ) , thought better to wait for love to come by itself . Thoughts like that are usually expressed in sentences such as : " mate in the hands of God " ; "If a mate will not go anywhere " or " Love will come at the right time . " ( Source : The Tao of Badass scam review ) .
Maybe it's true , the wait was we could find love or best mate , but it rarely happens that way . Usually the 'gatekeepers of love ' will be faced with a time when they have to choose someone who is ' better ' choices among the poor . Then they will undergo a complicated relationship , full of conflict , stress , and suffering . Have you experienced it ?
To increase the chance of finding the best mate , you can do that there are three fundamental ways in The Tao of Badass book following :
Give a clear depiction Couple On Criteria What You Want.
When you asked , " Couples like what you want ? " Then the answer what would you give? Or did you imagine a clear and detailed as what physical characteristics and properties that you dream will partner with you to life later ?
Most people describe and imagine a couple who she wants is less obvious like , " I want a good partner " ; " Loyal partner " ; " Couples pretty / handsome " ; " Couples who accept what is " ; and so on ...
If we define the pair with less obvious criteria like that , your brain will be confused and we will be difficult to find a partner as we want . For example, you want a good pair , then what ' baik'nya it ?
The Tao of Badass PDF by Joshua Pellicer reveals that only you could get someone good in your eyes but not in the eyes of your family . Or other examples you want to pair a beautiful / handsome , then what kind of physical features beautiful / handsome are you referring to? You could just get a pair of beautiful / handsome but his feet did not touch the ground and only come out at night ( ? ? ! ! ) .
So , give and shadow delineation criteria that you want to partner clearly . By doing so , you will be much easier to get a pair of approaching or actually best for you , as you wish.
Improve Active Social Life .
To facilitate you find the best partner , then you must look for it ( I hope you are able to distinguish between ' looking for love ' and ' pursuit of love ' as in the previous article ) . And to look for it , you need to have an active social life .
Start out and met with acquaintances or new friends who can you get out there . Or you can also follow the organization or association in accordance with the hobby you because it will feel nice to have a partner with the same interests and hobbies . The more people you meet , the higher the chance you to find true love or best partner for you (source: The Tao of Badass book).
You can also combine the first way was by means of this second to make plans such as :
" I want a partner like ...... ( give a clear depiction ) and they are usually located in places like ..... ( specify some place ) . " Once the plan is created , go to that place and frequently socialize with people in it .
Stay Being Positive
If you 're looking for a partner , most likely you will have the name of rejection . You can not expect all the people you love will come back to like or love you too .
If someone is not interested in you , stay positive , move on and try again to find someone else who can love you . The world is so vast and there are millions of people can be the best partner and love you like you love her .
So that you do not often deal with rejection , keep learning to develop personal qualities and character of you . That way , many people will be attracted to you .
That's 3 basic ways that you can do to increase the chance of you finding the best mate . If you do not know where to start , you can start by doing this :
Provide a book for personal target you and then ...
Write clearly the nature of the criteria ( at least 5 ) and physical criteria ( minimum 5 ) pair you want.
Write down where are the places you can go , or organizations and associations whatever could you follow , to find a partner that you want.
Write down at least 3 things from inside You could be developed to increase the attractiveness of You .

After you do the above action , make a commitment to do what you 've written and get . Then be prepared for a more enjoyable love life .

Perhaps it's the omnipresent gray skies, but whatever the cause, the Brits are masters of a strain of gloomy romanticism traceable from Bowie to Blancmange to Morrissey. NYC quartet Elefant channels this dark, synth-driven pop sound (which hit its high-water mark during New Wave's '80s reign) with supple melodies and a heavy-lidded vocal delivery that recalls the laconic, lovelorn expressions of Robert Smith. Though this nostalgic pop spirit fills the band's debut album, Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid, Elefant is not completely shackled to the past. In particular, the chunky guitar tones sound, at times, in keeping with fellow Gotham nostalgists such as The Strokes (as on the catchy "Misfit"). Singer-guitarist Diego Garcia broods a bit like Bowie, though he's not as grand, so it helps that the music twists and sways with great elegance. But while ornate, these are at heart pop songs, so Elefant doesn't get too plush in its arrangements, pushing steadily toward the big choruses and their rich, pungent bloom.

NC Official: Power Outages At 41,500 After Storm
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Local and state officials say tens of thousands of people are without power now that Hurricane Arthur has left the state.
State Emergency Operations spokesman Rick Martinez said as of Friday morning, 41,500 customers remain without power because of Arthur. He said Carteret County had 11,000 outages, the most of any county.
Several utilities provide electricity to coastal North Carolina, including Duke Energy, Dominion Power and ElectriCities. Tideland EMC said on its Facebook page that it likely will be Sunday before power is fully restored on Ocracoke Island.
Transportation Department officials said on their Facebook page they haven't been able to assess damage on N.C. Highway 12 on Hatteras Island. The Bonner Bridge which connects the island to the rest of the state also must be inspected before it's reopened.

RIP in 2008
- lax2mia Dec 14, 2008 02:12 PM
Every year seems to bring about restaurant closings, but this year's been particularly hard, especially the last few months. More places on my "usuals" roster have shut their doors. So here's my list of places I'll miss and thanks to the owners for taking the risk of opening these unique places in a burgeoning Miami food scene in the first place:
Sheba - the only Ethiopian in Miami for a while (although I recently saw a sign at Kafa Kafe near the Design District for Ethiopian dinner - Chowdown anyone?) the place was as much a trendsetter in the Design District as MGFD. Friendly owners and staff, great entertainment and delicious food.
Le Bon - Learned about it's demise Friday when the restaurant was shuttered and the windows covered with posters for the new, expanded Tiramesu. Where to go for mussels and frites on an early Sunday dinner on Lincoln Rd I have no idea, but this place was always the underappreciated little sister of its slutty older sister Tiramesu. GIve they people what they want, and according to Lincoln Rd, what people want is a lot of Italian food. But again, thanks for giving this place its moment in the sun, perhaps in a less touristy area a mussels restaurant can thrive (Midtown anyone?).
Boutique Kitchen - a sign said the place was shut down for a day due to a busted air conditioner. Weeks went by with no opening. Finally the menu was taken down and tables and chairs removed. It was a neighborhood place that my friends were jealous they didn't have in their neighborhood. Good, inventive, homestyle food, excellent prices, friendly owners. Don't know what happened but I wish Jean luck wherever he is.
Pacific Time - yes, it basically moved, but it's not the same. Not that I don't enjoy PT2, I do, but the original PT had its place on Lincoln Rd where it was basically the only fine dining establishment for a while. Gone is the duck but now there's sweetbreads! Guess we made out better with this move.
Domo Japones - I hated this place. The bad service, mediocre food, and huge topless picture of what looks like a barely legal Naomi Campbell made for a place I hoped would be replaced but something better. I think someone may have taken over and redone the spot and I heard the place is doing OK.
re: The Chowfather
I don't know anyone that'll miss Social and don't know anyone that even made it to Smoking Rabbit!
re: Frodnesor
Thanks for playing editor. I'll run my posts by you first for accuracy from now on if you don't mind.
If they've got duck with the scallion pancake at PT2 then I've missed it and am all over it next time I go. Thanks for pointing it out.
re: lax2mia
No, I've not seen that dish on the PT2.0 menu.
plenty have closed in PBC too
Mark's in the Park
Gotham City
Lox Around the Clock
New York Deli Diner
the local Chinese buffet - well it was pretty awful
expect more to follow before season's over
In the Panhandle-
Criolla's in Grayton Beach- the restaurant that really started to move the area away from the same old fried fish & shrimp and french fries kinds of menus. Johnny Earles has decided to concentrate mostly on his property management business and use the old building for catering and such.
Beachwalk Cafe is reportedly not going to reopen after its usual winter hiatus.
NO WAY! Le Bon is closing!?!?!?! That blows.... I will miss those mussell pots.
Biggest loss for me this year was Cafe Tu Tu Tango in the Grove. I enjoyed the food there and they had a great outdoor bar. Also gone from the Grove...
Ginger Grove (they had good chinese food but they were in the Mayfair and never promoted. Angelo & Maxies is there now and will probably meet its demise by end of '09 for the same reason)
Ristorante d' Il Frasca
Firkin & Friar (apparently being reborn as either "Firkin" or "Friar" or something dumb like that)
Cefalo's (good riddance)
Marcanio's (spelling may be wrong but it was next to Cefalos)
3484 Main Hwy (victim of dumb menu change and tough location along with building issues)
Nikki Grove
Red Lantern (good riddance! this place was disgusting and its really hard to eff up Chinese food)
AS Tacomania (this was my favorite. taco place notices that hole-in-the-wall Crepemaker across the street is doing decent biz, so what do they do? They change the business to "Tacos and Crepe Land!" Yes, that is the actual name of a (former) restaurant. As you can imagine, it died a relatively quick death. It has been reborn again as a middleastern resto whose name escapes me now where the servers wear ridiculous outfits.)
Some cuban joint that took the Crepemakers spot and quickly went under
Cazzoli's Pizza (this place had awesome pizza but I think I remember it had some major health violations. Its now a new pizza place whose name also escapes me but its pretty much the same ish)
Tasti D Lite (now Akashi Sushi - score!)
The Cheese Plate (I could be wrong on the name here but there was a wine/cheese shop that served sandwiches at this spot on Main Hwy. The business started hurting so they scrambled and decided to change it to a sushi joint. Only thing was that there was a transitional period where they served sushi but had wine and cheese all throughout the restaurant for purchase to dump that inventory. The place is now Siam Oshi sushi and it actually is pretty good and a good value. We'll see how long that lasts with Akashi across the street now)
The Palm in Merrick Park, and the multitude of fast-casual in/around Miracle Mile.
Le Bon was ok when I went. Not a fan of more Italian, no.
My heart sank to read about LeBon. My husband and I loved it not only for the mussel pots (I hope that they are on the menu at Tiramisu!) but we also loved the beer selection- any word on if they are keeping the selection?
And her in Sarasota, St. Pete, and Tampa, we gave lost, respectively, in Sarasota: MT's (Martinis and Tapas) and Chef's Table; in Sarasota and St. Pete: The Table, and in Tampa: Alessi's Oven, not to mention earlier this year or in late 2007, St. Bart's Fish House. Happily, Alessi's Bakery is still open, but the other restaurants will be sorely missed by those of us who seek adventure and something different when we eat, or seek old reliables prepared superbly.

Is Google Plus a Failure? Infographic
< / > Click here to embed this graphic on your website
In the marketing community, we keep hearing about Google+ as the marketers dream platform. Features such as Ripples and the Circles function do seem incredibly appealing. It's fair to say that the audience segmentation and targeting options are unparalleled and in a marketer's perfect world, everyone would be using the service. But guys, I hate to piss on your rainbow, but no real people in the real world are using Google+. Based on anecdotal and statistical information, it seems as though the only people that are truly involved in any sort of Google+ community are the people that stand to benefit from widespread uptake of the platform. That is never going to entice the masses into abandoning their longstanding relationship with Facebook, Twitter and their new BFF, Pinterest. At the moment, Google+ is like a pool of piranhas. The piranhas in this metaphor being online marketers, waiting to segment, target and sell to any real person that dares to step into the water.

The point of the maps is to identify which areas are either "underproducing" or "overproducing" security workers.
Dr. Greg Ridgeway, director of the RAND Center on Quality Policing, told Security Management that the maps combined with another center tool, which identifies colleges with criminal justice and related programs, can help police find good recruits.
"We think that between the two tools it might prompt police departments, at least those that are actually hiring these days, on places to target," he said.

Food and the dying family
I don't want to be a holiday season buzz-killer but tis happens to be a cogent topic in my life (hopefully not yours, too).
Part 1. Let's say you have an elderly relative who's passing slowly. Woiuld you offer food, and if so what sort?
2. You just get a call that a relative has passed, and you're going to dress quickly and go to the house to console the family. What food or drink do you bring?
Thanks a lot.
I'm so sorry. I think this largely depends on your family's culture, background and personal views. For example, my family is Jewish but not overly religious. When my husand's dad died, people brought shiva platters (bagels, lox, pastries) and tons of food which was much appreciated as for a shiva, tons of people are constantly coming over to offer condolences. However, my mom is not a very social person and has made it clear that when my dad passes, she does not want anyone sending any food. (I'll probably have to have the shiva at my house in that case). Whether or not the family is Jewish (or Muslim as their traditions are similar), food is always appreciated. When grieving, it's easy to lose track of basic needs, especially cooking. The most traditional obviously is desserts and pastries, but that's more for the guests than the actual family. I would suggest homemade meals that can be frozen just in case, to take the burden off of cooking. For someone who is dying however, that's a tougher call. If they're coherent I would ask the person what they would like. If not, ask the family. I'm sure they'd at least appreciate the kind thought.
re: NicoleFriedman
It's not just Jewish or Muslim that traditionally send food. I was raised in about as WASPy an environment as you can find, and the minute anything happened - wedding, funeral, new baby, surgery, whatever -- the casseroles began to show up. Brought by friends and neighbors, wrapped tightly and left on the doorstep, there was always food being delivered by someone for both good news and bad. There's a committee in the church my grandparents belonged to before they passed -- this group of ladies comes to the church and lays out an enormous buffet for every funeral held at the church...and not a penny is asked in return...it's just what folks do.
And it's a great thing..when you're distracted by the big stuff and wrestling with emotions, it's hard to find time and sometimes hard to just remember to eat, so having something around that's fast and nutritious is important. There are always extra people in the house during big life events, too.
The fact that it's made by people who love you and are offering it as a celebration/shared mourning helps, too.
re: sunshine842
I didn't mean to imply that Jews and Muslims are the only cultures that send food to a grieving family. However, I pointed out that in those 2 cultures, food is a vital part of the grieving process. Also, there are many people that instead of or in addition to food tend to send flowers, especially for a funeral. Yet, Jews almost never send flowers- at the gravesite they put stones on top of the grave as stones are more permanent than flowers.
re: NicoleFriedman
NF: I for one didn't see that implication, I took it as an expression of the universality of food, but also the need to consider how the bereaved might accept any gesture.
although I have to chuckle over the mental picture of my mother's reaction if everybody brings a stone to my Dad's interment service...(yeah, make sure he stays put)
re: NicoleFriedman
re part 1, ask someone close what the restrictions might be, and what the issues, like say chewing might be. and then ask the intended what they might like.
part 2: we Gentiles also need to be reminded, strictly speaking the Shiva food shouldn't leave the house (ie no taking away leftovers in doggie bags, no matter the inevitable waste or how well intentioned)
in the past I've made a few small (bread loaf pan size) lasagnas or frittatas in recyclable containers (last thing you want is the obligation of washing and returning a piece of ceramic) but I always have to remind myself no meat with cheese.
re: NicoleFriedman
is this what you were looking for? Sorry i read an old topic of you and I just found this video, I created an account just for you, look how nice i am lol
1. Always show up with food or drink to a family members house, dying or otherwise. What sort? Whatever you know that they could eat, or would enjoy...
2. IMO, after said family member dies, you'll have plenty of time to comfort the bereaved. So take your time, figure out what's needed, and do it right. There's nothing worse than everyone showing up to a wake with bean casserole, and nobody remembering to bring a bottle of the Irish.
If it's really short notice, I'd take a bottle of whiskey/wine, and take an extra 30 minutes to make a cheese tray to take with me. The living can wait, and the dead aren't going anywhere...
re: deet13
deet, I have never figured out how the universal vibe works, but I've never had duplicates of any casserole at any major life event. Not sure how it works, it just does.
re: sunshine842
Heh, we've had it happen a couple of times since my aunt, who usually took it upon herself to arrange these events, died in a car accident back in '02. "Don't forget the green bean casserole..." has turned into one of those morbid family jokes.
But now we can use Facebook, forum posts, and e-mails to arrange these niggling little details ahead of time...
First of all, I am so sorry that this is your predicament. To address part 1, I would bring whatever the relative enjoys/is still able to eat, whether it is mac and cheese, a bowl of ramen, or a shot of whiskey.
Second, if you want to be prepared I would either have some sort of food prepared in the freezer, ready to go (lasagna, soup, or something else that freezes well) or have picky/snacky food on hand to bring over in a hurry. I would keep some crackers and good cheese on hand, perhaps some sort of cured meats too, ready to be pulled from the fridge/cabinet that you can quickly slice up at the family's home. Snack food you can pick on throughout the day may be the way to go, especially if people aren't feeling hungry but need to get a little something in their system.
The elderly relative that's passing slowly--if there's an old favorite food or beverage that they haven't been allowed to have for a while? I say let them have a moderate amount of that. What the hell. If somebody's working on dying anyway, why not let them have a taste of what they loved in life!
In the aftermath--I agree with everyone else. Most any sort of food that's easy for the bereaved to deal with and eat will be appreciated. I had the sad experience of discovering that bringing food to the bereaved may be a vanishing tradition. My father-in-law passed away a few years ago after prolonged illness, and I figured that the members of my in-law's church would be beating down the doors with food. They didn't. It was winter, and most of my MIL's friends were in Florida or Arizona for the season, and apparently the younger generation of her church just aren't carrying the ball on that front. After a few days, one of her oldest friends (who was fresh out of the hospital herself) came teetering to the door bearing a giant deli tray. I nearly fell to the ground and kissed that sweet lady's feet. Ever since then, i have always, always ALWAYS made sure to make and deliver some sort of food within 24 hours of hearing the news of a loss for family and friends. Go generic if you don't know who all will be there (like a deli tray or veggie tray), and if you know the people better, it's a great time for big blow-out comfort foods like homemade mac and cheese or pot roast or a big creamy, cheesy casserole of some sort or another.
Hang in there Thom. I know how hard it can be to deal with this sort of thing anytime, let alone at the holidays.
re: dingey
+1 for bringing what the elderly wants/misses. My grandmother passed about a year ago - during the last few weeks of her life the hospice nurses said to heck with the diabetic diet and started bringing milkshakes daily. It made Grandmom a very happy woman.
I sad to read about you experience with you father-in-law's death. My grandmother's funeral was on Dec. 23rd, and the women from her church still managed to put together a wonderful meal to feed 20+ family members. We fully expected her funeral to be family only, but learned to never underestimate small town neighborly love.
re: mpjmph
I'm definitely going to agree with you on #1. A friend recently asked for a cheesecake recipe, mentioning that her elderly relative had been asking for homemade cheesecake for a while. She planned to bake the cheesecake from scratch, present it to the relative, and then scoop out the filling and puree it with milk so that he could drink it. Such a nice thing to do for someone who doesn't have much time left.
1. Depends on what other care they were receiving. If no-one to really care, then of course we'd cook. If normal standards of care were in place, then no. Anything else would seem odd, generally speaking. If it is me that is dying, then I hope someone thinks to bring me a bottle of calvados and packet of cigarettes.
2. None. I might go out for takeaway after I'd done my initial consoling. Anything else would seem odd.
Not a buzz kill at all, as death affects us all and many times during the holidays. I remember the day after my mother passed, the doorbell rang and a delivery man stood there with a tray of ziti, a tray of chicken marsala, and a huge salad with tons of bread. They didn't even tell us who sent it, but I knew. My mother died during the summer, someone who had read about it in the paper, didn't see me until the following October and the first day back to a seasonal job, presented me with a huge basket of goodies for me and my family. This and the outpouring of help and generosity when my mother (the main cook in the family) was sick, was so appreciated and so thoughtful. Just one tray of something fed the rest of us for a few nights. It is always appreciated, no matter what you bring.
I've been to several sad funerals, gone back to the home of the survivor and been ravenously hungry after crying and grieving. The food laid out for us was so welcome! People will often bring food to the home of someone who has suffered a death. The family is coping with so much--shock, grief, reliving the death, funeral and burial decisions. Food is welcome. But if the social support isn't there, that is no church membership, or strong social group, or no extended family, there won't be anyone to provide this.
So if it is a close relative, I'd just go. You'll know if you can be of service when you get there. If it isn't a close relative, I'd plan to provide food for the family, particularly if you won't be involved with emotional decisions.
Good for you for thinking ahead to this sad time.
re: sueatmo
+1 on this idea. My son-in-law died last year and the holidays were rough. Many people brought snack items (cheeses, sandwiches, etc.). One specific woman asked if she could provide the entire meal after services, and that was exactly what she did. Baked chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, vegetables, salads (tossed and jello for the little ones), rolls, butter, and ice cream for dessert. She brought everything and this was for about 20 family members at the house. What a kind and thoughtful woman she was.
re: sueatmo
During the dying part, I've dropped off pots of soup, homemade pulled pork with rolls, ham biscuits, etc. Things that can be heated up as an individual serving, if people are in and out between hospital/hospice visits. When a friend's mother asked to be brought home to die last year, a bunch of us took turns bringing over brunch/lunch and dinner every day, for the two weeks. Then once she passed, the family was happy to get out for meals.
If I were flying out of the door as soon as I heard the news, I wouldn't stop to get food. That can come later. But yes, the food-bringing is a multicultural phenomenon. Small town Midwestern, where I grew up, to London, I've seen it practically everywhere.
Ahhh. We're in the same situation this year, except the relative is too far away for a visit. My sympathies are with you.
As for answers:
1. If they are eager to eat and able, just offer what they like/ask family what they'd like. Soft foods, not spicy, soups, etc., may go down better. As a nurse, I can tell you that most folks in their very last days have little interest in food and drink, and it's no help to try to push it on them. Frankly, many just need mouth and lip care (soft swabs/gauze with water/ice, ice chips to suck on, and vaseline/carmex for lips).
2. Most supermarts offer a veggie/fruit/or deli tray year-round. If you're going by car, it's often only 10 more minutes to pick one up. I also like the ideas that others suggested for having some pre-made and frozen soups or meals ready to take along, too. My family is of Irish background, so whiskey/beer/wine is always approp.
re: DuchessNukem
I agree with this response.
If your family has just experienced a loss of a loved one, they probably want you over there for comfort and food is an afterthought, but people lose themselves and a little nosh is good so a deli tray is a great idea. Later, depending on the person and what id being given by others, you can bring over cake (if you are coming over to give hugs and love, but do not want them to have obligations of feeding you) or you can bring frozen things with directions on them. This is especially welcomed if the person who died was the cook or there are lots of things to deal with and the person is overburdened.
My best to you and your family.
Aww, that just sucks! I'd be sure to take care of yourself, drink lots of water, eat well, get your rest.
As a former hospice worker and volunteer, I've got some biased opinions.
First off is for 1., make sure the individual who is passing is able to eat the food you are thinking of bringing. Food sucks when in hospitals, nursing homes or even when it is made by a home health aide who is not your family member. Illness can cause much discomfort when eating. But, it also sucks to feel yucky and see your favourite dish in front of you when you can't eat it.
Take into consideration their teeth--is there pain or tooth damage that might make it difficult to chew tough, hard or crunchy items?
Their throat--is it dry, sore or are they having trouble salivating or swallowing? Soups are great for this kind of discomfort!
How is the relative's digestion? If they are having digestive difficulties, chopping food well and even mashing home cooked food might help things go down more easily and sit better in their tummies. Yoghurt is great for digestive upsets, especially if it is their favourite flavour (as long as they are not lactose intolerant or vegan!)
Ask for their doctor's recommendations. Yes, even if someone is dying or in hospice, they might still be under strict doctor's orders (not usually though). It is wise to ask the doctor if there is anything they should not be eating.
And, for 2., This is the kind of thing that really should be considered, done and then not made much to do about. Your family might not be in the right place to think about cooking yummy and healthy (not TOO healthy!) foods and they really need your support with this. But, they probably have so much stuff going on including the emotions, the stupid paper work, decisions galore and finances to be able to focus on what you brought or to even give a thank you.
It is great to bring something that takes little effort such as a casserole. When you come in, you can just say something akin to "let me pop this in the freezer (or fridge) for you." They'll find it and it will make at least one dinner much, much easier. You can even write on the saran wrap or foil with a black sharpie "heat at 350 for 45 minutes" or what have you.
Also, for the family, little bags of yummies such as trail mix, their favourite crackers, nuts or those little clementines is a great idea. Leaving four or five small bags on the counter is a thought, that way, when they rush out the door without eating breakfast, they can just grab a bag and go.
for 1.,
Oh, and candies! Hard candies can really help them if they are having trouble salivating or if their illness is causing an icky taste in their mouth. I would just double check with the doctor or aide if their is a concern about a choaking hazard. I think Trader Joes has very small hard candies that probably are not even a hazardif they just slide down before finished.
I hope that helps some!!
Hi Thom,
Your post caught my eye as my father is in hospice. Unfortunately, he is no longer eating, but it's a little funny that his last understandable words were 'Kung Pao Chicken.' *sigh*
He loved, loved, loved orange popsicles, I think for the moisture and coolness. Oatmeal was also a biggie with him, easy to swallow and nutritious.
Sorriest to hear. You are a wonderful person to take care of all this.
"Let's say you have an elderly relative who's passing slowly. Woiuld you offer food, and if so what sort?"
Whatever the person wants, no matter how seemingly unhealthy. Go for it.
I offered a jar of fresh foie gras to a similarly very sick friend and was roundly criticized at first. I said: "he could eat whatever he goddam well pleases". Friends thought it over and agreed with me.
"You just get a call that a relative has passed, and you're going to dress quickly and go to the house to console the family. What food or drink do you bring?"
Food that takes the least preparation. The family's card is full. It will not have time to take care of food and will appreciate your "takeout".
Lastly, people like make the holidays meaningful.
For the second part, besides food, it might be helpful to add a few paper products-toilet paper, napkins, paper towels and plates. We had people send a pizza which was well received by the kids.
A 1. No, I would either take them out somewhere they enjoy or bring food of their choice from a favorite restaurant. E.g. If they really like a certain potato chip and haven`t had it for ages...that is what I am bringing
A 2. If I am going to attend one of the funeral ceremonies, I take nothing

November 27, 2014
FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) - Lawyers for Army Pfc. Bradley Manning are pinpointing his supervisors' failure to take action that they say could have prevented him from disclosing classified information through WikiLeaks.
The sentencing hearing resumed Tuesday at Fort Meade, near Baltimore, with a witness who was reprimanded for failing to supervise Manning.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kyle Balonek testified about an incident in which Manning angrily flipped over a table and had to be restrained in December 2009. Balonek says it wasn't necessary serious enough to prompt a disciplinary report that could have led to revocation of his security clearance.
Balonek says such action is reserved for egregious misconduct.
Manning faces up to 90 years in prison for leaking documents he downloaded while working as an intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010.

Free booster seats available this Saturday
Free booster seats will be available this weekend. Safe Kids of Northeast Florida is giving them away to help keep older children safe in the car.

So children who are under 4 feet 9 inches tall and weigh between 80 and 100 pounds should be sitting in a booster seat in the back seat. Call 904-202-4302 to make an appointment to pick up a free booster seat this Saturday.
They'll tell you where to go when you call. You just need to bring with you the child who needs the seat so they can help you install it correctly.
Remember the child needs to be have outgrown their forward facing car seat in order to qualify for the free giveaway. Click for general information about the kinds of car seats to use based on a child's age.

Wish This Was Real: Faith Erin Hicks' The Hunger Games

Purely for fun, Faith Erin Hicks (Brain Camp, Friends With Boys) has created the first five pages of a non-existent Hunger Games graphic novel. It's a mouth-watering tease. Maybe someone could hire her to do a for-real adaptation?

I have wanted nothing more than this to be part of the official comics adaptation ever since I saw it. Scholastic would be fools of the highest order not to offer her the job.

- flexible tools – Part of being open is being flexible. A crayon can be used for drawing anything, but it can also be melted and re-sculpted into something completely different.
- modifiable rules – Our children, generally speaking, have gotten really good at following rules, but where will they learn that sometimes it's best to break them? We can show them how and encourage them when they do it.
- superpowers…the physical and mental skills that we develop to adapt and thrive in a complex world while exploring the creative opportunities made possible by global progress. Fundamentally, they are skills reframed as a type of power within the realm of human possibility and reach. Superpowers are the catalysts that maximize the benefits of the other three foundational pillars.

TKG LISTEN: Simplify
"Simplicity is an acquired taste. Mankind, left free, instinctively complicates life."
Katherine Gerould (1879 – 1944)
In our efforts to live the 'good life', we can easily find ourselves overwhelmed by seemingly endless choices, decisions and activities.
Here are a few ways to help slow down, and give ourselves time to remember who we are and what's really important in our lives.
And as we simplify, the environment also benefits. READ MORE at EarthEasy.com…

The Knowing Garden Community Elementary School Grows in Redondo Beach, CA
Set to Begin Third Year of Operation – Now Enrolling Ages 5 to 9
Redondo Beach, CA – The Knowing Garden, a local community school that is part of the movement to revolutionize elementary education, is adding a second classroom and more students beginning this Fall. Magdalena Garcia will join The Knowing Garden (TKG) as the teacher for the students ages 7 to 9. The not-for-profit school first opened, with 4 students, in the Fall of 2011. In the second year of operation, the school doubled enrollment; and going in to the third year of operation, school management projects that it will double enrollment once again. In order to support 18 students and parent volunteers, the community will employ two full-time teachers and 2 part-time teachers — up from one teacher in the first year. School business is managed by a community Board of Directors that includes finance, marketing, health and management professionals from diverse backgrounds.
The heart of the second and newest classroom is Magdalena Garcia . She will be teaching and learning with students ages 7 to 9 in a separate classroom that is currently undergoing refreshing and furnishing. Magdalena is a UC Santa Cruz alum with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology as well as a UCLA graduate with a Master's degree in education. She has been an elementary school teacher for the last 12 years. In addition to being a classroom teacher, she has also been a teacher coach and mentor teacher. She has served as an educational consultant for the Natural history museum helping to create project-based, art infused resources to support museum exhibits. Magdalena strives to create connection with children through listening and playing and is always looking for an opportunity for collaboration and learning with adults and children alike. Magdalena is the mom to a six year old daughter.
Magdalena shared, "When I was studying to be a teacher I took sociology, human development and child psychology. When I became a teacher I referenced the theories of social justice, transformative pedagogy and constructivism. When I was pregnant, I studied how to attach, respect, listen and play. But now that our daughter is 6, all of the theories I studied and tried to implement are no longer theories. Watching a human grow in front of my eyes makes all the ideas real. I knew that she needed a school where she could develop, thrive and connect. A place where theories become real. The Knowing Garden is this place for our family and I am so excited to be a part of its growth."
Michelle Goldbach-Johnson, teaching and learning with the 5 to 7 classroom, will return for her third year at The Knowing Garden. Michelle has developed and led the school, in collaboration with Magdalena, since the beginning and continues to be an advocate for children's rights. Yvette Fenton and Samantha Moshiri are also dedicated teachers that call TKG home.
TKG, currently located at St.Andrew's Church in Redondo Beach, recognizes that children are natural learners and respects students' rights to collaboration, choice and play. The school is committed to providing an environment that inspires joy of learning, nurtures relationships and embraces learning through play and nature. Integrating constructivist theory, brain science research and social/emotional development, the school invests in students' inherent and emerging knowledge to support their practice of engaging discovery with critical thinking. The learning opportunities are project-rich, enhanced by self-directed learning and real-life experiences. With credentialed teachers, parent participation and adult to student ratios of 1 to 4, the curriculum emerges in partnership with students and families. Also, as part of the curriculum, students and teachers meet and connect with nature – at local parks, trails, the beach – one day each week.
TKG does not participate in STAR (Standardized Testing and Reporting) testing to measure growth. It does not offer letter or peer-comparison evaluation or grades. As a way to document growth, students keep portfolios and meet with teachers to create an understanding of their learning progress. Teachers offer narratives and documentation of student evolution via meetings with parents to communicate learning and progress. As a way to connect home and school as well as support families, parents receive weekly documentation of classroom learning as well as relevant parenting and educational resources. In addition, the whole parenting and teaching community comes together at monthly meetings filled with resources and community reflection. TKG places an emphasis on social-emotional learning and the "soft skills" that will prepare students to be critical thinkers who are lifelong learners and active contributors to the global community.
For additional information, visit www.KnowingGarden.org, email info(at)KnowingGarden(dot)org or call 310 728 9337. TKG is enrolling students ages 5 to 9. Interested families are invited to contact TKG for information on an upcoming community meet-up.
TKG KNOW: Standardized Test Boycotts, Protests Gain Momentum
Standardized Test Boycotts, Protests Gain Momentum Around U.S.
The Huffington Post | By Tyler Kingkade
High school students and teachers in cities around the U.S. have decided they hate standardized tests so much, they're just not going to take them, according to news reports.
At Garfield High School — the Seattle, Wash., alma mater of Jimi Hendrix, rapper Macklemore and Quincy Jones — teachers voted unanimously to "refuse to administer the Measures of Academic Progress, or MAP, test on ethical and professional grounds." In an op-ed explaining the decision, history teacher Jesse Hagopian made the case that students already face enough standardized tests, and his pupils view the MAP test less seriously because "their scores don't factor into their grades or graduation status."
"We at Garfield are not against accountability or demonstrating student progress," Hagopian wrote. "We do insist on a form of assessment relevant to what we're teaching in the classroom."
The Times also reports that Garfield teachers had the support of the PTSA, and many parents chose to opt their children out of the tests or keep them home when administrators forced the school to administer the tests.
Meanwhile, high school students in Portland, Ore., launched an opt-out campaign against a series of state-mandated standardized tests called the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, according to U.S. News & World Report.
These students and teachers are adopting a tactic from the National Opt Out Day movement, which started last year when No Child Left Behind turned 10 years old. NCLB mandated standardized testing of students, and has often been criticized for creating a culture of "teaching to the tests."
That was among the reasons cited by Portland Student Union member Alexia Garcia to the Washington Post in describing why they had organized in Portland.

TKG LISTEN: Sugata Mitra-Build a School in the Cloud
"Schools as we know them are obsolete."
That's the bold assertion of Sugata Mitra, who has been spending many years exploring how young people teach themselves (and each other) without a "teacher" and whose focus is on "What is going to be the future of learning?"
Mitra begins his talk by looking at where the kind of learning we currently do in schools came from. His answer: the British Empire.
He outlines how the Victorians very successfully created a global computer out of people: "It's called the bureaucratic administrative machine. In order to have that machine running, you need to have lots and lots of people. They made another machine to produce those people. It's called 'the school.' The schools would produce the people who would then become parts of bureaucratic administrative machine."
Mitra says that we are "continuously producing identical people for a machine that no longer exists."

The Lady Corsairs are at home -- finally.
The College of the Redwoods softball team gets a fresh start to the second half of its season this weekend as the Corsairs open Golden Valley Conference play with a pair of doubleheaders.
CR will host Feather River on Friday, starting at 1 p.m. (the original start time of noon was pushed back) and Lassen on Saturday, starting at noon.
"It's kind of like starting our second season and it's especially nice to be at home," said CR's 18th-year head coach Maggie White. "It's a chance for a fresh start."
Although CR (1-11), which has lost its last four games heading into its conference opener, has not enjoyed much success through its opening 12 games, the good news for the Corsairs is neither has the GVC.
The entire conference is 14-52 combined, with Butte and Shasta currently tied atop the league standings at 5-5 overall.
The rest of the conference (Lassen, Siskiyous, Feather River and CR) have just one win this season and have a combined overall record of 4-42.
"Everybody's beatable in the conference so it's going to come down to which team plays the best and wants it the most," said White, whose Corsairs could advance to the state playoffs with a first- or second-place finish in the GVC. "If we play well the rest of the way we can get a postseason bid, which is always the goal. And I feel we have the pitching to do it."
In the circle, it's been sophomore starter Tammy Valley who has carried most of the load, striking out 43 and allowing just 21 earned runs in 40 innings of work.
Valley's 43 Ks is second in the GVC, just one behind Shasta's Megan McColpin's 44, who has 10 more innings pitched.
"Tammy's a sophomore and has made huge improvements from last year," White said. "She's worked hard and developed a couple new pitches. She's also got more control and more movement and she's throwing harder."
Leading the way for the Corsairs at the plate through pre-conference play has been third baseman and pitcher Chelsea Pettett, who went 9-for-18 in her past six games combined with three doubles and a home run.
Pettett is currently hitting .394 for the Corsairs, followed by leadoff batter Morgan Psalmonds .378 batting average.
"We just need to play like we can and relax," White said. "There's always going to be a little bit of nerves in the home opener, but I'm hoping we can settle down, play hard and win the games."

|Introducing FreightSnap
View our products!
| Cubic data can provide billing, operational, and pricing information that is valuable
in today's ultra-competitive LTL environment. FreightSnap offers a compelling value
proposition to carriers of any size due to the 3D system and mobile capabilities.
Drivers can use the product on a shipper's dock, account representatives can quote freight based upon actual packaging and dimensions, and the pricing department can use all of the data to better understand costs per customer. The 3D system allows carriers to profile customer shipments in just seconds on their cross docks.
FreightSnap provides an automated measurement system that mounts
above the freight on the ceiling and creates a 3D model of the freight, which then is
used by our proprietary algorithms to do a complete dimensional analysis or cube of
the pallet. The system catalogs the pallets based upon a scanned or entered Pro or
Shipment number that can tie the pallets to a customer shipment. Optionally, the
system can be tied to a scale and the weight can either be electronically interfaced or
entered at the point of measurement.
The FreightSnap data collection system includes 3D, 2D with live cameras, smartphones, and tablets for mobile collection. All of the data is stored in the FreightSnap Proprietary Cloud and can be accessed with our Open Database Web Service (ODWS) system. The ODWS is a free service offered by FreightSnap and can be utilized by customers for seamless data integration.

with over ten different user selected parameters, and utilize the data to supplement
transactions, damage claims, and freight reviews.

Tourism experts predict a lot of people will be traveling to the Charlottesville area for the upcoming holiday weekend not only for the festivities, but also because of the affordability.
The holiday also comes at a time when the city has been in the national spotlight in the early weeks of summer.
"Charlottesville has been in the news quite a bit in the last two weeks," said Brigitte Belanger-Warner, director of sales and marketing for the Charlottesville-Albemarle Visitors and Convention Bureau.
Among the accolades are being named the best college town in the United States and a top-five foodie destination.
And the attention is expected to continue.
"Fourth of July is always peak time," said Kico Hedrick, the director of sales and assistant general manager at Hyatt Place Charlottesville.
Experts around the country agree that Charlottesville is the place for a cheap Independence Day getaway.
"Of course, the students are away," Belanger-Warner said. "There's not as many people traveling here for UVa, and so there's more hotel rooms affordable, so the rates are a little more affordable."
Now that most events at the university wrapped up for the year, it's generally a slow time for many area hotels. The Fourth of July is often a great boost for the summer months.
"Of course, you have all the wineries to tie in, you've got the Downtown Mall, all the art and culture we have here," Hedrick said. "You can make it a three-day weekend very easily."
Hyatt Place in Albemarle County is celebrating its first Fourth of July since opening in September. The staff is looking forward to what's coming this weekend.
"A lot of disposable income comes in, so it's just not the hotel for us here at Hyatt Place Charlottesville," Hedrick said. "That will bleed into the Shops at Stonefield."
And the economic boost extends beyond that.
"These are new dollars coming into our community and being spent in our hotels, in our restaurants, in our shops, gas stations," Belanger-Warner said. "And that all helps our local economy to roll of course."
Compared to other Fourth of July destinations like Washington, DC, Charlottesville is also the more economical option, especially for families.
"Washington would be at twice of what you would be looking at here [for cost]," Hedrick said. "I think we offer a little bit more in some ways than Washington."
Some other accolades include being named the most exciting place in Virginia and a top-five destination that every American should visit. Tourism officials say those lists only add to the potential economic boom the Charlottesville area can see over the summer.

Man uses bedsheets to escape from jail
Published On: Jul 29 2014 09:09:11 AM CDT
A 22-year-old man made a short-lived escape from a Texas detention center Monday night.
Officials with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office and detention center said Adam Novodvorschi used bedsheets to crawl out of a window on the east side of the jail near the railroad tracks around 10:30 p.m. Monday.
Officials said Novodvorschi made it as far as the downtown Greyhound bus station located a little more than a mile away on North St. Mary's and East Martin streets.
San Antonio police spotted Novodvorschi and immediately took him back into custody.
Officials said he was initially charged with aggravated robbery, but is now facing a third-degree felony for escape from a jail facility. Novodvorschi's bond was set at $50,000.
