CitizenM Times Square and The New York Edition Reveal Their Signs
UPDATE 3.17.14: The CitizenM Times Square will now open on March 25.
The long-awaited CitizenM Times Square keeps on keeping us guessing about its opening date, but after taking a walk past the site yesterday, we're feeling pretty confident that things are going to be happening very soon.
Like many of us, NYC's first outpost of the cool Dutch brand has been shedding its winter layers over the past couple of weeks, and, in the Citizen's case, this has allowed us a peek as what looks like some very funky interiors.
We spotted bright murals, chrome, steel lampshades, what appears to be a bookstore to the right hand side and, to the left of the front door, cool wall-mounted shelves filled with objets d'art including red horses' heads and little men.
Although we still await a firm date, CitizenM's website says that "bookings starting from March," which is, like, now so...

6 Reasons Why The London Edition is All That
We were one of the first people inside the London Edition when it opened back in September (an award-winning opening, we might add) and while HotelChatter contributor JasonD got to chat with hotelier Ian Schrager as well as peep the presidential suite, we never got to properly spend the night.
Thus when this editor found herself across the pond last month and in need of a hotel room, the choice was clear. How could I not stay at an Edition Hotel, after years (three) of obsessively following the brand?
So, using a combination of American Express points and pounds, I booked a superior room. At check-in, I was then upgraded to a deluxe room (no, the hotel was not aware I was coming.) My room was located at the end of a twisty, maze-like hallway that had me confused a few times later on when walking back to my room. But once inside room 229, the Edition was everything I hoped it would be.
Lest I bore you with long, overwrought paragraphs, allow me to present 6 Reasons Why The London Edition Is All That. If the list is too much for you to get through, then just scroll through the photos. You'll get the same idea anyways.

Ian Schrager Finally Confirms Not One, But Two PUBLIC Hotels for NYC
When we checked in on Ian Schrager's hotel project at 215 Chrystie Street in the LES last month, we noted that the project was rumored to be a new Public hotel. Turns out those rumors were true as Page Six is reporting that Schrager has just confirmed that it will, in fact, become New York's first Public Hotel. Even though it seemed like forever and a day that we had to wait for the announcement, it actually lines up pretty nicely with Schrager's initial expansion plan (the locations have changed though.).
215 Chrystie St.
But, wait, that's not all. Page Six also reports that plans are already afoot for a second Public Hotel in NYC, located on "the far West Side."
Is this Schrager's new MO? Developing his brands two by two? It was just back in November, after all, that we reported that he was bringing two Edition Hotels to New York City within a year of each other. And what does this mean for London, where an Edition just opened?
But not like we have any complaints. Like the man says: Size doesn't matter.

Does NYC Really Need Two EDITION Hotels?
In November, we were hot to the news that Edition Hotels was not only opening a hotel on Madison Avenue in the Clock Tower but that they were planning another Edition for Times Square. And now, here are all the details fit to print about the new hotel, opening in 2017:
Located at 701 Seventh Avenue, this will be the first hotel of this scale to be built in Times Square in over two decades. The world-class hotel design will feature floor to ceiling windows with unobstructed views of Manhattan in seventy percent of the property's 452 guest rooms.
The Times Square EDITION will be one component of a mixed use development which will feature 100,000 square feet of flagship retail, dining, entertainment and event space, as well an 18,000 square foot HD LED sign – one of the largest in the world. In keeping with the identity of EDITION, Mr. Schrager will lead all creative design and positioning for the hotel, as well as the entertainment programming offered within the property.

London had a big hotel year, and among many highlights was a major moment in September, when Ian Schrager introduced our winner for best hotel opening: The London Edition. Sitting in the wood-panelled Punch Room, we heard his thoughts on the industry today and his vision for the brand, giving us hope that Edition was leaving early setbacks behind and headed for a brighter, opening-filled future.

The New York Edition: So Good They're Doing it Twice UPDATED
Ian Schrager wasn't kidding when he said size doesn't matter; his Edition Hotels are going big.
While checking on the opening date for the upcoming New York Edition at the website, we were pretty floored to read that there will, in fact, be two Editions coming to New York.

AC Hotels By Marriott Will Open First U.S. Hotel in Miami Beach (Across From The Edition!)
Earlier this summer we were crazy excited about Marriott's plans to import their Spanish design hotel collection, AC Hotels by Marriott, into the U.S. The stateside version of the brand plans to keep its design-forward integrity as well as remain affordable. Oh and have free WiFi too. (Yes, a Marriott hotel brand with totally free WiFi is happening.)
Now the Miami Herald reports that the first hotel will open in Miami Beach. Claro.
Looking at the developer's Robert Finvarb Companies website, the address for the 150-room hotel is listed as 2912 Collins Avenue which puts it right across the street from the Edition Miami Beach, opening sometime next year. Interestingly, this developer is the same one behind the new Hyatt South Beach in the 1600 block of Collins Avenue. (More to come on that soon.)
While detes are scant on the developer's site, you can expect the following from the hotel:

Ian Schrager Walks Us Through His Newest Hotel, The London Edition
While the opportunity to scope out The London Edition on opening day would have been more than enough to lure us to the city's Fitzrovia neighborhood last week, there was more: Ian Schrager was there to talk us through his thinking on the hotel, the Edition brand, and collaborating with industry giant Marriott.
Key things we picked up? It takes him mere hours (hours!) after arriving in a city to come up with the overall idea of how his new hotel is going to work. Each Edition will be different, combining the aspects of the building, local geography and customs, and popular culture, but with the same Edition attitude. Aside from London, New York, and Miami, there is Los Angeles, as well as "advanced discussions" in Paris. Over in Asia, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, and Sanya are all in the pipeline, as well as Bangkok (jenga!) of course. Then there is India and the Middle East on the list. While he is not directly involved in newcomer Moxy, he does offer his opinion if he has one – which we don't doubt he does. Read on for more.

Hot Off The Press: Inside The Just-Opened London EDITION Hotel
The day has finally come! The London EDITION is now open! We're practically crying tears of joy and relief as we've been waiting years for this opening. Years.
Our man on the London scene, JasonD, peeped around the hotel today and sent back a few photos for us to drool over. He'll be dishing on all the ins and outs of the Edition next week but for now, just enjoy the eye candy.
Also, this place looks familiar, no? Oh, Ian Schrager we know you too well.

The Shangri-La Hotel in London Still Has No Opening Date
The other big hotel opening in London, aside from Edition Hotels (which is opening on September 12) is of course the Shangri-La at the Shard.
While the viewing platform at the top has been open for months, and a number of restaurants have moved into Europe's tallest structure as well, Shangri-La looks to have a classic of hotel delay. Initially scheduled to be ready for the Olympics (ha!), we've had end of June, the more non-committal "summer", and end of September as D-day for the group's first UK property at various points in time. As of now, there is still no confirmed opening date – all we hope is that it will make it this year.
Meanwhile, rates at Edition are holding steady at Ł270 (about $420) a night for a queen room, which will get you 237 square feet of hotelier Ian Schrager's latest work. About $50 extra takes that up to a Superior Room at just over 300 square foot.

Huzzah! The London EDITION is Now Opening on September 12
This morning, we are completely gobsmacked, as the Brits would say. We've just discovered that the London Edition Hotel is now opening on September 12!
Previously, we reported the hotel would be opening on October 15 and very rarely do hotels ever open before that. But whatever the reason for the early opening, we'll take it!
Rates start at 295 pounds a night or about $451 a night. However, if you use code LPR at booking you can get that rate down to 255GBP or about $390
The hotel's website is also showing off a few more room photos including a shot of the very minimalist bathroom. No photos of the Berners Tavern restaurant or the Punch Room lounge but we suspect those are forthcoming.
To celebrate the opening, Edition Hotels in collaboration with Sedition, the digital art collecting site, to offer Edition fans "Prosopopoeia" from artist Mat Collishaw. It's pretty much a big shiny diamond. We hope that's what we'll find at the London Edition as well.

My son has attended the special needs program at Johnson. I have nothing but great thing to say about the staff and teachers. The specialists working with my child were attentive and communicative, we had a great communication. My son is not the same little boy back when he started at the age of 3, he has progressed so much I find it hard to believe and I will forever be grateful to everyone at Johnson!
We have had a great experience with the Johnson School over the past two years. The teachers and staff have all been wonderful to work with. They are great at communicating what's going on in the classroom and keeping us up to date on future events (both in-school and town-wide). Whenever we have had issues, they are more than willing to work with us and our child to solve the problem. Our child loves going to school (actually begs us to keep him in the after-care program as late as possible during the day, since he's having so much fun!) JECC has really helped prepare our child for Kindergarten. Highly recommend!
Had nothing but positive experiences in four years here. Great communication from teachers & active principal and admin staff.
Some of the teachers are great others not so great. Administrator lacks listening skills, appropriate social skills and does not seem very supportive of staff and is not supportive of parents/students.

Don't Get Lost in Transition
How to Handle Big Life Changes as a Couple
Your living situation changes.
Whether you're moving into your first home together or transitioning your whole family to another city, relocating is a major stressor. On top of financial worries and packing, you also have the potential loss of your old community to deal with, says Litzinger. In order to get through these major changes, she stresses, talking about your feelings and approaching everything as a team are important. Humor can be particularly useful. "Instead of using your spouse as a dumping ground for all your shared stress, try to laugh at it together," she says.
While you're in the process of moving, stay on the same page with each other regarding your budget. And once you have moved, seek out new connections as soon as you can, to avoid relying solely on each other for support and companionship, a stress that can lead to resentments—especially, for example, if one of you moved because of the other's job, says Litzinger.

text: Maureen Dowd: Gullible Voters are the Problem, Not Obama by Greg Gutfeld 4 Nov 2010 post a comment Share This: [Ed. Note: Andrew Breitbart appears on "RedEye" tonight.] So true to character, Maureen Dowd weighed in on the election, and got it wrong. See, she believes the vote wasn't about Obama, it was about gullible voters. She writes that Republicans "were able to persuade a lot of Americans that the couple in the White House was not American enough, not quite "normal," too Communist, too radical, too Great Society." Wait - you forgot "too Muslim and too Kenyan." Anyway, she missed the point about the election - and so did Obama. He spoke today, saying - and I paraphrase, because I'm lazy: "America wants us to act, not to stand still." Okay - Maybe it's me, but I think it's the reverse. I think Americans don't want him to act, and would like him to stand still. Here's why: President Obama is the most successful progressive politician I've seen, ever. He passed health care reform, which Clinton couldn't even do. He got two really liberal judges on the Supreme Court. Really, that's going to matter more than anything. He got a pile of other left-wingers appointed, and called them czars. He passed the stimulus - and nearly got cap and trade through. My point is - there were no roadblocks, no gridlock - because there were no Republicans! Back in 2008, that party was more run down than Charlie Sheen's penis. Obama was the running back with the ball and nothing but daylight. What he didn't expect: the folks in the stands rushing the field. The Republicans didn't galvanize the public. The public galvanized the Republicans. So Mo and O are wrong. It's good that the Prez calls for consensus. But he shouldn't be making peace with Republicans - try those crazy voters instead. And right now, they aren't cheering him down the field - they want him to punt. Let's hope the man listens, for once. And if you disagree with me, you're a racist, homophobic gridlockophobe. Tonight: Andrew Breitbart! Imogen Lloyd Webber! Jedidiah Bila!

PHILADELPHIA – Claude Giroux scored at 4:55 of overtime to give the Philadelphia Flyers a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.
Scott Hartnell scored twice and Ray Emery made 23 saves for Philadelphia.
Andrew Shaw and Duncan Keith scored and Antti Raanta made 34 saves for Chicago.
Skating down the right wing, Giroux beat Raanta with a wrister to give Philadelphia its third straight win.
Chicago opened an offense-filled first period with two goals just 3:51 into the game.
The first came when Shaw chipped a loose puck near the crease over Emery – the result of a Brayden Schenn turnover at the other end.
Less than 90 seconds later, Keith, set up by a pass from Jonathan Toews, overpowered Emery with a slap shot from the top of the slot.
After the poor start, the Flyers responded with two goals from Hartnell.
Set up behind the net, Hartnell attempted a pass that caromed off Blackhawks center Marcus Kruger and found its way into the net off the left pad of Raanta at 5:48.
Then at 16:27, Giroux walked out from behind the Blackhawks' net and found Hartnell for a one-timer to tie it at 2-2. The goals were Hartnell's 17th and 18th of the season.
Following the first period, the pace slowed in the second, when neither team scored.
Flyers forward Vinny Lecavalier was involved in two chances that nearly broke the tie in the third.
His breakaway attempt with 7:40 remaining was turned away by Raanta's right pad, and Schenn's almost-goal just over a minute later was waved off when referees ruled Lecavalier touched the puck with a high stick on its way to the net.
The Flyers nearly beat Raanta late in regulation, but neither Steve Downie, from a bad angle, nor Schenn, trying to redirect Downie's shot on the far post, could put a Hartnell rebound into a wide-open net.

The Case For Ina Garten's World Domination (How Easy Is That!)

While I'm glad to see him go, Eric Cantor losing his primary bid does not mean that the "Establishment" is losing control (remember, they just won some MAJOR primary battles against Tea Party candidates) or that the Republican party civil war is about to explode.

If you were sitting there thinking it would be really funny to tweet a message to one of the major airlines that could potentially viewed as a threat to national security, think again. And I would argue there's nothing funny about "joking" about terrorism or airlines given the events of 9/11.
Apparently, a 14 year old girl thought it would be a riot. She tweeted the following to American Airlines:
@QueenDemetriax: @AmericanAir hello my name's Ibrahim and I'm from Afghanistan. I'm part of Al Qaida and on June 1st I'm gonna do something really big bye.
Naturally, American Airlines swiftly responded and quickly ruined the joke.

Pass the lemon, hold the dinner
29 Wednesday Jan 2014
On Monday, the Huffington Post published a piece cautioning diners on putting lemon wedges in their water glasses. Titled "This Will Make You Never, Ever Want To Put A Lemon Wedge In Your Water Again", the article quotes a research study from the Journal of Environmental Health, where researchers swabbed the outside of fresh lemons and found 70% of them produced microbial growth. The samples were collected as soon as a beverage was served, before drinking or touching, thus reducing possible contamination from other sources. The article then goes into excruciating detail about the types of contamination and some of the bacteria and fungi isolated from the rind of lemon wedges.
The article is clearly written to produce the "wow" scare factor that will capture headlines and the attention of viewers. The problem? Somewhere near the end of the article, the authors speak with an expert from NYU Medical Center who notes that the risk of actually getting sick is "decidedly small." According to the expert, "you can't live in a bubble. Your immune system is usually pretty good."
This article is everything I hate about how ridiculously germ phobic we've become as a nation. As the article states, the likelihood of getting sick from a slice of lemon is essentially negligible. Of course, they bury that lead in order to feed into the culture of germophobic fear mongering that is pervasive in this country. Our parents' generation was constantly dirty as children, rolling around in dirt, mud, dust, etc. They weren't afraid to get their hands dirty, and most of them did just fine.
The real problem with the article is that they hardly highlight the fact that the reason the lemons are likely contaminated is because of unsanitary food handling practices – poor practices that also likely occurred during the preparation of meals. Meals that will ultimately contain a much higher bacterial load and therefore much more likely to make you sick. The greater public health disaster then is not the tiny amount of bacteria on your lemon wedge, but the mountain of bacterial that likely contaminated the side salad that came with your entree. So you can probably continue to enjoy the lemon slice (as the article points out, just squeeze the juice into your drink and don't drop the rind in if you're really that worried), because you may actually want to think twice about your actual meal.

You might be the jerk of the week if you happen to be the CEO of Bayer, who made the following statement with regard to the pharmaceutical company's responsibility to produce drugs.
But the quote really does generate the obvious question. What exactly is a pharmaceutical company's responsibility? As corporations, are drug companies solely responsible to profits and shareholders or do they have some responsibility to produce life-saving drugs that might not make them money? Do pharmaceutical companies have a responsibility to provide drugs to those in third world countries who can't afford them? I personally have an opinion on the matter, but curious to hear what the rest of you think.

late night service on the MBTA
27 Friday Dec 2013
Posted annoying, Boston, transportationin
Yes, those of us who live in Boston and actually use the MBTA for public transportation would love to see extended hours on buses and subways throughout our city. It would be life altering.
It would also be completely idiotic, and I'm glad to see I'm not alone in my thoughts. Joseph Levendusky wrote an opinion piece in yesterday's Boston Globe highlighting precisely why extending service hours on the MBTA is a poor choice. Levendusky echoed my sentiments from an earlier post when I said that the MBTA
…shouldn't even be entertaining the idea of extended hours until the agency can offer frequent, efficient, reliable, and sustainable service to the areas it currently serves – and without a negative operating margin. Without those fixes in place, public transportation service during extended hours will be subject to the same delays, inconsistencies and breakdowns, and will be yet another source of discontent with the MBTA for Bostonians.
Seriously, if you think late night service with the way the MBTA is currently run is a good idea, then you should hop onto Twitter and search for #mbtaannoy. The MBTA should be focusing on fixing what it currently has before overextending itself. Levendusky's comments are perfectly stated too, noting that
Now is the time for our political and transportation leaders to focus on presenting comprehensive plans to address crowding and service issues that are currently infuriating T riders, and to sketch out a vision of the MBTA of the future. Our Commonwealth's competitiveness and our quality of life will not by improved by a T that is open late unless the T first succeeds at the core mission of providing quality service during traditional hours of operation.
Duck Dynasty and the First Amendment
20 Friday Dec 2013
Posted annoying, LGBT, politics, televisionin
I posted some of the following on Facebook yesterday but I'm going to add a little bit here.
here's my take on the Duck Dynasty guy's comments:
1) are we really surprised that he's a homophobe?
2) there have always been and will always be closed minded people out there who don't like another group of people for whatever reason, whether it be for religious reasons or otherwise. they must carry the burden of being wrong for the rest of their lives. unfortunately, learning to ignore the bigoted musings of one man or woman is the burden the rest of us must carry.
But ultimately I'm not really sure why this is a controversy. So some guy with a show on A&E thinks homosexuality is wrong… what's the big deal? Why is that so controversial? It's certainly not a new sentiment, people have been saying this for years. Nor is the Duck Dynasty guy a true celebrity, or even worse, a political figure/force. What concerns me more is the fact that the majority of Congressman probably agree with him, and they actually have some political power in this country and therefore the ability to do real damage. Let's not forget that it wasn't that long ago that a President pushed DOMA through Congress and another President finally affirmed that same sex marriage should be legal.
In addition, to all those people out there claiming that the Duck Dynasty guy's First Amendment rights are being violated – I suggest you read up on the First Amendment. But if you're too lazy to do that yourself, the text of the First Amendment is posted for you below.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
As you will see, the First Amendment clearly states that Congress shall make no law that curbs your freedom of speech. Even though in common day we've come to understand the First Amendment as a free pass to say whatever we want, the First Amendment does not in fact provide us carte blanche to mouth off. And I'm no constitutional lawyer, but the First Amendment also says nothing of private organizations, of which A&E is one.

Sleep? In the hospital?
02 Tuesday Jul 2013
Now that I've returned to clinical medicine, this article from US News and World Report seemed appropriately well timed. When physicians round in the morning, we often ask our patients how their night went and if they slept okay. Most of the time, they tell us that they had a hard time sleeping – often they wake up due to noise in the hospital or because health care workers are entering their rooms to draw blood or take vitals. We usually joke that "no one comes to the hospital to get a good night's rest", "this is a hospital, not a hotel" or "you come to the hospital to get better, but no one lets you sleep!"
Several measures have been introduced to try to make this better, including patient satisfaction metrics including the level of noise patients experience while in the hospital. Increasingly, hospitals are paying attention to the noise levels within their halls. But it seems that waking patients up in the middle of the night to check vitals signs may not only be of minimal value, but may in fact do more harm than intended.
A study recently published in JAMA Internal Medicine reports that nearly half of hospitalized patients who are regularly wakened to have vital signs checked fall into extremely low risk categories. Letting low risk patients sleep may actually be better for their health, and doing so would free up nursing time to be spent on sicker patients or double-checking medications and orders to prevent medical errors.
29 Saturday Jun 2013
After completing 10 surgeries that day, candlelight mass was a nice moment of relaxation and thought. The busy operative day left little time to think and process the true magnitude of what we had just accomplished. 10 surgeries in one day. Most well run surgical centers in the United States can't even complete 10 surgeries in one day. Amazing! And exhausting. I don't remember Father Rick's homily that night, but I wasn't surprised that even this candlelight mass was a funeral mass. Father Rick had been away, which meant that the souls of the deceased before us had been waiting for their funeral mass and their salvation.
As always, the number of "bodies" at the funeral mass never correlates with the number of names that Father Rick reads. Although it looked like one body, there were several children under one of the burial shrouds. Every time the shroud is lifted and more than one child is under there, I catch my breath just a little. As I've commented before, death in Haiti is all too real and ever present. Despite seeing patients meet untimely ends in the United States, nothing prepares you for what can be an overwhelming sense of death in Haiti. And for all the work we had done that day, here before us lay several who could not be helped or for whom help came too late. And yet, this wasn't a sad occasion, for there was a great sense of peace at the funeral mass that night. The hymns sung by Father Rick and Sister Judy hang in the night air as a soft, cool breeze makes its way through the chapel windows.
I stayed after Mass to help a group of volunteers bring the bodies over to the morgue. I'll honestly admit part of me wished I hadn't, but part of me will never forget what it's like to carry the body of a lifeless infant and child from the chapel to the truck. As we arrived back at the main entrance of St Damien's, a woman carrying a baby came out of the hospital and approached our truck. The baby seemed very sick and almost lifeless in her hands. No crying and very little tone. She had been turned away from St. Damien's because there were no available beds, and she had no clue where to go. The ER physician (Donnie) sprung into action, taking a look at the baby, assessing the situation, and trying to figure out what to do. Thankfully Father Rick was still with us at this point, and he told us to take the baby over to St. Luke's.
Once again, a feeling of helplessness washed over me. I'm not a pediatrician, and I don't routinely deal with sick babies. Not knowing what to do or how to help is an incredibly frustrating feeling for any doctor, but particularly for surgeons who are used to jumping in and getting their hands dirty. We transported mom and baby over to St. Luke's, and Donnie got an IV started thanks to the pediatric nurse in the cholera clinic, started some antibiotics and checked a finger stick for blood glucose. Throughout all of this, the baby hardly moved or made a sound – not a good sign. After what felt like hours but was probably more like 30 minutes, Donnie got the baby situated for admission. We climbed back into the truck and were getting ready to pull out of the gates of St Luke's.
I would have taken a picture of what happened next if it would have been appropriate, for it would have been a picture that speaks a thousand words about what life is like in Haiti. As the gate of St Luke's opened, a young man was being helped off of a motorcycle and into a wheelchair to be brought to the Emergency Department. It was clear that he was in poor condition as he could barely stand up and certainly couldn't walk. To get a ride to the hospital, he had likely given his last few dollars to the motorcycle driver. Not an ambulance ride, but a ride on the back of a motorcycle, clinging helplessly to the driver in the dark on the terrible streets of Port-au-Prince. He had given what meager money he had in order to come to St. Luke's, where he knew at the very least his care would be free and a doctor would see him. Had he chosen the General Hospital, he may have died sitting in the hallway, waiting to be seen.
And on the street behind the scene of a semi-conscious man being helped into a wheelchair was a UN truck, sitting idly and watching. Watching and not helping, waiting for the motorcycle to move so that the UN soldiers could drive past. Yes, the picture would have said a thousand words. It would be the perfect picture to describe why the Haitian people dislike the United Nations, and it would speak volumes about the poor, the sick, and the desperate in this country.
So then this happened…

I'm not normally one to get into a Twitter war with people, but I am all about defending my views. So when I read this tweet (which a follower retweeted) post DOMA decision, I couldnt help myself.
I'm sorry that your life is ruined because marriage equality is being shoved in your face. I'm sure all the LGBT folks out there who constantly have heteronormative culture shoved in their face love knowing that until yesterday they were considered second class citizens. Which I'm pretty sure is what I tweeted back yesterday.
Naturally it took her a day to respond back, at which point she told me that the Bible says so. We then traded jabs about scripture from the Bible, during which I was told that the Old Testament doesn't matter and that modern Christians are taught to follow the New Testament because Jesus "came back and fixed it". So apparently we're just throwing out the Old Testament entirely, although she then countered with the age old god "would have made Adam and Steve" argument – which correct me if I'm wrong is from the Old Testament…
For the record, just because I support marriage equality, doesn't mean I need a lesson on what's written in the Bible. I was raised Catholic – I know what's written in the "Good Book".
Twinkies coming back… yay…
24 Monday Jun 2013
The Hostess company is emerging from bankruptcy after selling off some of its well known products (Wonder Bread to Flower Foods; Devil Dogs and Yodels to McKee Foods) and a take over by private investment firms Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo Global Management.
The takeover by Metropoulos and Apollo meant that the Hostess company would retain its signature products, including Twinkies. The company has announced that Twinkies will be returning to store shelves on July 15th. And they are betting that Twinkies will make a huge comeback considering the run on store shelves when the company filed for bankruptcy.
So America can look forward to Twinkies back on store shelves – and even more of them. The company will be delivering products to warehouses that supply retailers, rather than delivering directly to stores, allowing it to reach dollar stores and nearly all convenience stores in the U.S.
Enjoy your expanded waist lines America.

The high stakes of Women's Keirin racing in Japan
If you've ever been to watch a track cycling event you've probably watched a very unusual race called the Keirin. I've always enjoyed it and for a number of years I've been aware that it's a big sport in Japan where it was developed. Men's Keirin racing is very popular but women are also involved and it's growing. Here's a few insights based on some research I undertook:
Keirin is a track cycling race where between six to nine riders race over about 2 km around a velodrome. It is a relatively new Olympic event, first raced by the men in 2000 and the women in 2012. Keirin has been a big part of Japanese culture since it was introduced in 1948 as an initiative to rebuild after the war. The race starts with a pace setter (typically a motorised "derny") who starts slowly but gradually increases the speed until peeling off with about 600 or 700 metres left to race. Usually the riders are travelling at about 50 km/hour by this point and have hopefully manoeuvered into their favoured position. Once the "derny" is gone the race is in full flight and the riders fight to take line honours.
The women follow international competition rules in Japan to keep things safer: while the men are renowned for shoulder barging and head butting through their racing, Girl's Keirin is a bit more ladylike. The women use colourful disc wheels and tri-spokes provided by the JKA –the same colour wheels as the lane colour they draw.

The awareness rises again that life has not turned out as I planned...
Letting go is hard
Some things are easier to let go of than others.
The hardest thing I ever had to let go of was all dreams of mothering my daughter Hannah.
Hannah was born and died in 2004.

Letting in the light after Babyloss
It's hard to let the light in when we are blaming ourselves for the death of our babies.
The secret that we all share is that we all do it.
'Maybe my baby would still be here if I hadn't lifted that box/taken part in that exercise class/eaten that soft cheese/had that glass of wine/had sex that night.....'
I haven't met a Mom who hasn't asked herself these questions......
Doing what matters ... to me
...one of the most fruitful questions in life 'What matters to me?'
What matters to me may not matter to you.
It may be illogical.
Some might even consider it childish.
But none of that is important.
If something matters to you (or me) then it is important.
My Thanksgiving Day
I gave thanks on Paddy's Day...
Blessed Be
My small granny kept a holy water font beside her door.
(this water had been blessed by a priest or came from a holy well)
Every time we left her she sprinkled water on our heads.
In this loving action she blessed us and wished us a safe journey and a speedy return.
Today I send a blessing to all my friends....
Your soul knows
What if it is true?
What if it is true that 'your soul knows the geography' as John O'Donohue says.
If your soul (and mine) knows the geography then we need have no fear.
I yearn for the sun
I yearn for the sun ...
Be Right here, Right now
It struck me once again today how much of my life I spend replaying yesterday and rehearsing tomorrow.
I cannot change yesterday.
I cannot control tomorrow.
Watching the water
Have you ever just sat and watched the water of a spring or a small river? Have you noticed how it meets an obstacle and just flows round it?
Time to play!
Yesterday, I felt tired after a busy week.
You know that kind of good tired of a job well done,
of goals met and attentive work.
I knew I needed to refill my energy bank...
Pick up the phone!
What if
the only thing
between you
and the life
you want
to live
is a decision?
Listen to your heart
Most people try to run away from their broken hearts.
And it just doesn't work.
No lasting change can happen in our lives unless we begin to have compassion for ourselves. This world is full of people who do not know how to be kind to themselves. Compassion begins like everything, with small actions...
We have all had times in our lives when everything felt just right.
Times when we felt that everything fitted together.
Everything made perfect sense.
I invite you ......

November 28, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Marquette University law professor Ed Fallone will face Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Pat Roggensack in the April election.
Fallone finished second in Tuesday's Supreme Court primary, behind Roggensack but well ahead of challenger Vince Megna. In unofficial returns, Roggensack took 60 percent of the vote to Fallone's 33 percent. Megna was far back in single digits.
Fallone argues that the Supreme Court is dysfunctional and Roggensack is partially to blame. Roggensack says voters should decide on her merits, not the court's. She also says justices get along better than people think.
Democratic lawmakers and unions are supporting Fallone in the nonpartisan race. Roggensack has the backing of more than 150 county sheriffs and judges.

Hitler Here is a well researched and lyrically written biographical novel offering first-person stories by the Fuehrer and a variety of other characters. This intimate approach invites the reader to peer into Hitler's mind, talk to Eva Braun, joust with Goering, Goebbels, and Himmler, debate with the generals, fight on land and at sea and in the air, and huddle in the death camps as, everywhere, civilization is consumed.

Rand Paul in Berkeley
You aren't going to get me to admit it, so quit trying. I never said blacks shouldn't be served in any restaurant they choose. I said owners can't be denied the right to serve only those they want, and no government should interfere. That would be tyranny. I'll tell you how to deter tyrannical politicians. […]

O'Shea puts the seal on the so-called 'Battle of Highbury'.
With London featuring in three of United's April fixtures - four if you include Fulham's visit to Old Trafford - we're taking a look at some of the Reds' best recent performances in the capital, starting with league games.
There are many to choose from but we've opted for the following five memorable matches. Let us know on Talking Reds if you agree or disagree with any of the selections.
1. Crystal Palace 21/4/93 (A) 2-0
The away end at Selhurst Park was rocking even before kick-off as news filtered through that title rivals Aston Villa were losing at Blackburn. After 26 long years without a league championship, victory against Palace would take United to within touching distance of the trophy. The Eagles provided stern resistance but Mark Hughes volleyed in a spectacular opener 26 minutes before the end and Paul Ince ran through to clinch the points in the closing stages to spark great celebrations in anticipation of ending the agonising wait.

USD-JPY rallied to a new seven-year high for the fifth consecutive day, reaching 118.97 in early London trade before ebbing back to the low 118s. EUR-JPY and other yen crosses saw a similar price action. EUR-USD, meanwhile, dove from 1.2575 to a low at 1.2504, subsequently consolidating above here.

USD-JPY rallied to a new seven-year high for the fifth consecutive day, reaching 118.70 and showing scant sign of corrective pullbacks.

The dollar traded mostly sideways in light dealings in N.Y. on Thursday, as modest gains on Wall Street and marginally firmer yields did little to help the greenback. Firmer core CPI data initially resulted in some USD buying, though gains were mostly unwound through the morning. Elsewhere on the economic calendar, a 21-year high Philly Fed index, and stronger existing home sales and leading indicators did little to pump up market activity. EUR-USD found ... Read More ►

Happy Friday, everybody. Can you believe the month is nearly half over? Thanksgiving and Christmas is right around the corner.
I was on the road all day for work. The weather was cold, but the sky was clear. Not a bad day to be out of the office. I hope yours was as good.
Have a great weekend, and thanks for reading Danielle Dark.
