- Television viewers have fallen in love with Buddy Valastro, master cake maker, and his funny and fiery family, proprietors of Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, New Jersey, on the smash hit TLC series Cake Boss. Now, to coincide with Carlo's 100th anniversary, cake designer extraordinaire Buddy Valastro brings together his passion for baking and his high-energy family stories in the pages of this charming, heartwarming book-complete with 25 recipes and tips that will make every reader the "cake boss" of their own kitchen.
Buddy's beautifully designed cakes are the stuff of legend-and so is the remarkable story of his father, a beloved pillar of the community and himself a talented baker who set the stage for his family's rise to the pinnacle of their industry. Cake Boss recounts the story of Buddy's life and of his family's bakeshop, originally established in 1910 and now a Hoboken, New Jersey, landmark and culinary tourist destination. Here also are twenty-five recipes for Carlo's Bakery's most sought-after pastries, pies, cupcakes, and cakes, an irresistible combination of time-tested old-world recipes and modern creations, all founded on a rock-solid "old-school" baking foundation and classic techniques.
This is the incredible true story of how Carlo's Bakery came to be, how one hard-working family realized their patriarch's dream of making their beloved bake shop a household name. The special bond and loving dynamic of the Valastro clan make this an uncommonly touching and truly inspiring memoir.

Cake Boss Season 4 DVD Set
Ep. 1) Circus, Celebrity Chef, & Surprise!: It's always a busy week at Carlo's as Buddy is asked to make a cake for The Greatest Show On Earth, complete with a "ring of fire" along with baking a special anniversary cake for celebrity chef Rachael Ray. But his biggest task will be to keep his surprise stork cake under wraps from his wife Lisa not to mention their pregnancy announcement from the whole Carlo crew!
Ep. 2) Shark Cake, Scooter, & Smelly Fish: Buddy takes the bakery gang to sea for a fishing adventure and gets the inspiration to make a lean mean killing machine shark cake for an old family friend's 35th anniversary of his charter boat company. Lisa's pregnant and smelly fish ain't no joke. It's Mauro and Madeline's birthdays and Buddy surprises them with a pink scooter and some great Italian memories.
Ep. 4) Hot Air Balloon Cake & Happy Little Bakers: It's "Make-A-Wish" week at Carlo's bakery! Buddy bakes with four little aspiring bakers, all suffering from a life-threatening illness, on their personal "Make-A-Wish" cake. And it doesn't stop there as Buddy plans to wow the foundation with a very special hot air balloon themed cake. Ep. 3) Toilets & Textiles: Buddy gets one of his hardest cakes yet - a request for a replica of a toilet that actually flushes! Later, Wendy, owner of the Denim Lounge, is having a baby shower and asks Buddy for an unusual baby shower cake.
Ep. 5) Ships, Sonograms, & Sister Drama: Buddy showcases pride in his Italian heritage by making a tribute cake for the Columbus Day Parade with a cake so big it needs a forklift to lift it! It's order filling chaos as Carlos deals with their first ever online holiday pie sales. Lisa and Buddy get her six month ultrasound, but will the news be okay? Mauro decides to begin the journey to become an American.
Ep. 6) Snow Globe, Story Book Cake, & a Scare: It's a busy week at Carlo's when Buddy is asked to make a special snow globe cake for a surprise engagement. But things prove to be difficult when he and the crew have trouble figuring out how to make it snow inside the globe. Meanwhile, Buddy's daughter Sophia's 2nd grade class is in for a treat when Buddy creates a special story book cake inspired by Sophia herself. Finally, Buddy gets a scary call when Lisa is rushed to the doctor's office due to early contractions.
Ep. 7) Pucks, Pastries, & Pushy Grace: Buddy tries working fewer hours at the bakery so he can spend time with Lisa and the new baby, but it's a challenge from the start as two hockey-loving boys want a full size arcade-style hockey table cake complete with moving figures that can actually be played. Meanwhile, Joey and Mauro experiment with a classic Italian cookie recipe. And later, Buddy has to handle Grace, who is into everybody's business again.
Ep. 8) Staten Island Chuck, Strange Oddities, & Sal: The Carlo crew designs a cake for "Staten Island Chuck," a groundhog that predicts spring by popping out of his hole. Meanwhile, Buddy makes a dream topsy-turvy cake for a client based off her favorite place in the world, Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Later, Momma comes home from Florida to finally meet her grandson and the famiglia pays tribute to Sal.
Ep. 9) Punches, Psychics, & Pastries: The bakery gets a surprise visit from WWE Champion Santino Morella as he shows off some trademark wrestling moves and orders a massive "Road to Wrestlemania" cake. Later, Buddy is asked to create a crystal ball cake for a psychic and gets a personal reading. And Grace has a zeppole meltdown when the pastries are not up to snuff.
Ep. 10) Designer, Deadlines, & Diagnosis: Fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi commissions Buddy to make seven fashion-inspired cakes that models will carry down the runway, but making the designer happy is anything but easy. Buddy checks on construction of the new factory at Lackawanna, and lays down the law when his contractors go over budget. After weeks of pain, Buddy visits the doctor and finds out he needs surgery.
Ep. 11) Tulips, Taxes, & Take It Easy: Buddy and Lisa visit the hospital when Buddy's doctor tells him "to take it easy" before his hernia operation. But back at the bakery, it's anything but as Buddy must create an 8-tiered flower cake for the Philadelphia Flower Show and later a life-sized accountant cake in celebration of tax season. Will Buddy go against his doctor's order and risk further injury to his hernia and himself?
Ep. 12) Second Anniversary, Surgery, & St. Patty's: It's St. Patty's week at Carlos! Buddy has been picked to be the honorary Grand Marshall of Hoboken's St. Patrick's Day parade, but his half-Irish brother-in-law Joey has issues with the selection. Later, a couple comes in with a highly-intricate Moroccan-themed cake for their second anniversary. But with Buddy away for his hernia surgery, will Mauro be able to lead the crew and deliver a cake up to the client's expectations?
Ep. 13) Space Shuttle, Stepping Up, & Surprise!: Buddy is making a cake out of this world -- a replica of the last space shuttle for NASA. And to make things more difficult, he promises that it will lift off just like the real thing! Back at the bakery, Buddy wants to update the Carlo's catalogue and window display and he's asking his baking team to step up to the plate by having a cake contest. It's also a way for him to gauge potential managers for his new factory in Lackawanna. Finally, it's Momma's birthday, and with all the changes going on around her, Buddy decides to create a cake just like they did back in the old days.
Ep. 14) Houses, Help, & Hitting the Road!: Buddy takes on one of his most difficult cake builds, creating a cake that must represent houses from around the world for Century 21's 40th anniversary. To add to the challenge, the cake must also feed over 4000 employees and travel over 2,500 miles to the event in Las Vegas.
Ep. 15) Headphones, Helicopters, & Handcuffed: Cousin Anthony is turning 21 and when he's not at the bakery baking, he's working on pursuing his other passion -- being a DJ. To celebrate Cousin Anthony's birthday, Buddy makes a surprise cake for him that looks like a DJ set up complete with lights and moving turntables! Meanwhile, a client stops by with a request to create a cake for their medivac unit and offers Buddy a chance to deliver it by helicopter.
Ep. 16) A Big Bumblebee, & a Bossy Grace: Nothing creates buzz like a cake from Carlo's. Buddy is asked to create a giant Bumblebee cake to help promote the blockbuster movie Transformers 3 and the all new Camaro that will be on display at the New York Auto Show. But because the cake is so large, he has to create it away from Carlo's, leaving Grace in charge. Will her bossiness get on the nerves of the entire Carlo's staff?
Ep. 17) Competition, Complications, & Communion: When the local bowling alley asks Buddy to make them a cake, Buddy gets the old bakery bowling team back together to prove they still got it, baby! Feeling left out, the sisters form their own league to take on the boys! Meanwhile, it's Sophia's first communion and it's up to Buddy to make a special cake for her big day. And later, Buddy gets news that there are complications surrounding his new factory.
BONUS: Best Of Cake Boss: In this special episode, Buddy counts down his top five favorite cakes and re-lives some of the most memorable moments from the past two seasons.
Cake Boss - Baby Special: In this special episode of Cake Boss, Buddy and Lisa prepare to welcome their fourth child, and get the bakery ready for one of the busiest days of the year: Valentine's Day. Buddy surprises Lisa with a detailed cake recreating the baby's nursery at her baby shower. Meanwhile, the couple has to pick godparents, get the nursery ready and navigate a difficult breech pregnancy. And when Lisa finally goes into labor on Valentine's Day, the extended famiglia have a special surprise cake made just for the occasion.

French fashion house Balenciaga presented their Fall/Winter 2014 collection at Paris Fashion Week. Designed by a team under Alexander Wang's direction, the collection stuck to a palette of black and grey with rounded, dropped shoulder on overcoats that were a reference to the iconic egg-shape of the brand. Duffle coats and tailored jackets were crafted from the unusual "Cracnil" fabric, a crinkled faux leather that was created in the fifties. Wang's presence as creative director was noticeable through pixelated prints, origami-shapes, sports-style nylon tops and silver zippers.

We have discussed the importance of the "advanced" carnitine called GPLC (GlycoCarn, from Sigma-tau HealthScience, Inc.) in previous columns with both cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, M.D., and exercise physiologist, Richard J. Bloomer, Ph.D.
Industry members will never forget the day they learned Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994.
"There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action."
—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Baseball has long been our nation's pastime, yet we read comparatively little about the importance that nutrition plays in the sport. Many thousands of Americans actively participate professionally or recreationally in baseball, while millions more enjoy the relaxation and wholesome entertainment that the sport provides.
First, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) threw Warning Letters at three companies marketing dietary-supplement drinks in sizes too large and with names too suggestive. A few days later, the FDA's draft Guidance on this same issue was cast upon the world. Confusion now reigns as the magic words on the label seem to have lost their protective powers.
For years, "Table for two, non-smoking" has been part of the regular vernacular for restaurant goers.
There's a little voice inside us that edits what we say before we say it—sometimes softer than we'd like.
If you've memorized the location of every crack and crevice on your bedroom ceiling, you may be one of the millions of Americans who has a sleeping problem. Be it minor or severe, the consequences of sleep deprivation are more than just a nuisance.
Last month, we chatted with Sheldon Zerden about his new book, The Cholesterol Paradigm: The Greatest Health Scam of the Century. We discussed many of the fallacies of the Cholesterol Diet–Heart Hypothesis including four lines of evidence; any one of which is sufficient to disprove the cholesterol theory.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

- When I used the term "Arab Spring" early on in our conversation, I
was reprimanded. "Don't call it the Arab Spring. We call it 'The
Upheaval' where I work." When I tried to explain that we typically
scoff at calling it the Arab Spring as well, I was cut off, so that
I could hear another lecture about how horrible Arabs were. Israelis
aren't the nicest people most of the time.
- Opsec at IDI (Israel Defense Intelligence) seems pretty extreme.
If you try to email this person, you don't hear back for a month,
minimum - usually even longer. Reason is because no websites that
have passwords are allowed at work. Emails for internal comms only.
- Source is in D.C. frequently for meetings with DIA. When I asked
if they are often trained by the Americans, the response was a smirk
and, "We like to think we don't need the Americans to train us."
IDI, source said, is "more creative" than American counterparts. The
way they work sounded similar in philosophy to STRATFOR, actually.
For example, there is a specific officer who is referred to as the
"Devil's advocate" at the IDI offices. This person is allowed to
challenge any random paper on any topic, produced by someone of any
rank. If a paper is written that says, hypothetically, that Bashar
will fall in three weeks, the Devil's advocate can then say, "Okay,
I'm challenging this assertion. Now, I want you to write the exact
opposite argument and play out the logic." Source did not deny that
they, too, can fall prey to groupthink like any other intelligence
body, but was a firm believe that this was a good way to avoid it.
- "Where are the moderates in the Muslim world?" That was the theme
of the conversation on source's end. If you listen to this person,
you come away with the notion that the Israelis seem extremely
unnerved about the future of the region, with the primary focus
being on the Iranian threat. (Again, this is not groundbreaking
- Source openly said that none of this shit would be happening right
now had Obama not abandoned Mubarak like he did. When I later
criticized Bush for shattering the balance of power in the PG,
source shot back, "Well what about Obama?" I said that Obama had
maintained the same FP as Bush, a claim with which the source
agreed. And yet the source loves Bush's policies and hates Obama's.
Israelis are not a fan of Barack.
- Because Obama abandoned Mubarak, source lamented the fact that
Egypt was no longer the leader of the Arab world. This does not mean
source believes the MB is on the verge of completely taking power in
Egypt - (I specifically asked if that was the belief the IDI holds)
- but it does mean that there is a steep drop in faith that the SCAF
has ability to maintain the status quo. Overall I found the message
on Egypt a bit confusing.
- Part of the reason that the message was confused message imo is
because the source openly admits that in the IDI, people have a
singular focus on the outside world. Like STRATFOR, they are largely
disconnected with domestic politics. So the Syria people identify
with Syria, the Hezbollah people will jokingly say stuff like, "I am
in Hezbollah" when you ask them their AOR, etc.
- The IDI is very much focused on the Shiite crest ranging from Iran
to Lebanon. Iran is the primary threat in the world today. Source
was heavily concerned with how Yemen plays into this as well; much
moreso than what we talk about. "AQAP is in control of south fucking
Yemen, for God's sake." Source says they jokingly refer to AQAP as
"AQHP" after the HP printer bombs that got seized on those DHL
flights a few years back.
- The IDI is operating on the assumption that Yemen will be
completely out of water in eight years. I asked if this was their
own assessment and source said, "No, it's public information. You
can find it on Wikipedia." I think it took about one second for the
source to realize retarded that sounded, citing Wikipedia when
you're a major at the IDI, and so immediately it was amended with,
"there have been studies published." Fear about Yemen running out of
water is mass migrations into KSA, which Iran could exploit.
- When I said that there were people in the Israeli
government/military/intel community who reads STRATFOR, source said,
"I can check on that for you." Thanks.

ROME, N.Y. -- Rome police are working to locate a robbery suspect in the city. Police say a man entered the A-Plus Sunoco on East Dominick Street around 3 a.m. Tuesday, asking to buy cigarettes. But when the store clerk opened the register, the suspect threaded the clerk with an unknown object, and took money from the register himself. The suspect then ran away. The store clerk was not hurt. The suspect is described as a male, about six feet tall with a medium build.

A lively, authoritative, and practical guide to the buildings of a city which in 2008 will be European Capital of Culture. For two hundred years Liverpool was one of the most prosperous towns in Britain, and one of the greatest ports in the world.
Economic success is reflected in a wealth of late Georgian housing, extravagant Victorian and Edwardian offices, proud civic buildings, suburban parks, churches, and the unique architecture and rengineering of the docks. A frenzy of demolition and rebuilding in the 1960's was followed by a long decline, now giving way to a construction boom. All of these aspects of Liverpool are covered in this essential book.
This book is designed as a practical guide for exploring the buildings of Liverpool and its inner suburbs. It is based on the Liverpool section of Nikolaus Pevsner's South Lancashire, published in 1969. Author Joseph Sharples is an architectural historian at the University of Liverpool.

UNITED STATES -- Wegmans and other retailers are recalling various models of a latte maker after it was found that it could potentially leach lead.
The maker of the Back to Basics Cocoa Latte Maker says there's a small bushing inside the container that could give off lead.
The models that are being recalled are ones with either a brushed chrome base, white base or stainless steel carafe. Customers are being asked to stop using the machine.
Wegmans will give out a full refund to those who return the product.
The latte maker was also sold at other retailers, such as Bed Bath and Beyond and Amazon.com.
If you are unsure if you have a recalled model, call 1-888-943-5202.

Still clear and it still looks good, just a lot darker than it had looked like it was going to be, so if the photo you've chosen is already kind of dark while you're looking at it on the computer, I'd suggest you lighten it before adding it to this card. :) Other than that, this card is absolutely p.e.r.f.e.c.t. JUST what I wanted. Thanks so much, Tiny Prints!! =)"

Dec 22, 2014 - Patients with advanced cancer who watch a video with end-of-life options after a verbal description of those options are more likely to prefer symptom relief and avoid life-prolonging care such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation compared with patients who only receive the verbal description, according to a study published online Nov. 30 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Access Control Systems For Your Home or Office's Single Doors
Single door access presents a number of different possibilities for securing your home or office. Whether you're choosing to opt for a proximity reader or advanced automation, even basic access door security can be greatly enhanced by even a simple accessory.
Door locks, whether they're push button, digital, or electric, can be a major differentiator in securing your building. We have accordingly stocked our supply with a vast selection of all the varying brands and models to meet the individual needs of our customers. Beyond the standard locking mechanisms on many home and office doors, these tools provide you with an extra layer of security that you can trust.
We know that our customers are informed, and cannot waste time trying to determine which commercial door hardware is or is not worth their time. That's why we've not only provided the top brands, but also provided an incredibly large inventory that makes door access control systems for any application easily available. Just search for the models and parts you're looking for in our search query bar, and find your target product in seconds.A Broad Selection of Basic and Advanced Door Locks
We value having a base of customers whose needs range from the most very basic in home or office entry, to much larger needs from corporate to governmental security, and we pride ourselves in being able to provide the best selection for all of them. Each grade and model has been divided into its appropriate section.
We have door access control systems for single doors that rely on current, existing power sources, as well as ones that can be powered by an independent box. And we know that when certain parts do wear out, it can be a pain to try and hunt down the manufacturer and order that specific part—so we provide a full range of small replacement parts, that are key components of these complicated locking systems.
Rather than going through and replacing your entire system, simply diagnose the problem area, and search our extensive inventory for exactly the part you need.
Whether you have to service a high volume of single door entries or just one home, our shipping and processing is extremely accommodating for any size order. We'll get the parts to you quickly, so that you don't need to be worried about a compromised system.

"Product was great and they arrived early! Style is perfect for modern event or if you want something simple yet classy. They had someone reword my notes that I put on the back of the card, i. e. registry information and who to send the RSVPs. Price is great too!"

They arrived earlier than what I was told, and they were great! Paper quality and print quality was fantastic. I also used the online chat option a few times and they were also very knowledgeable and efficient. Great site!"
"I was thrilled when these invitations arrived. I did tons if personalization so I wasn't sure how it would turn it. It turned out perfectly! Couldn't be happier. I was surprised how much I loved the paper. It's a textured one which is the standard with the purchase. I added a picture to this review to show off the invitations."

Find out about exhibitions, activities, tours and talks at Birmingham Museums
Aston Hall, Blakesley Hall and Soho House provide a choice of spectacular and elegant locations for your dream wedding.
29th July 2009
Birmingham museum is in the process of developing a major new wing of galleries celebrating the history and significance of Birmingham and its people.
The galleries will show how the city of Birmingham is a reflection of the self-reliance, creativity, inventiveness and hard work of its people - rich and poor - over many generations. They will focus on the development of the city from mediaeval times to 1945, and convey Birmingham's past through the personal stories of key individuals.
Rotating displays will explore the character and identity of Birmingham and its people today, and their memories of Birmingham's more recent past. Birmingham people will be able to play a leading role in the development of the galleries, through a comprehensive programme of community events and consultations. An exciting schools programme accompanying the displays will provide access to a great new local history resource for all ages.
The project will see the conservation and display of over 2000 objects from Birmingham Museums and Art Gallerys' nationally significant collections, as well as the renovation of new and existing galleries in the Grade II* listed museum building. The resulting galleries will be interactive, multi-sensory, exciting and fun for all ages. BMAG recently submitted a Stage 2 Heritage Lottery Fund bid, and if successful the new galleries will open to the public in the autumn of 2012.

Across the country and here in Rochester, bells rang 26 times for the Sandy Hook victims. People nationwide also observed the moment of silence at the same time.
"We have an old tradition as humans that sound resonates in our spirits."
A somber remembrance of one week ago.
Bells are a call to prayer, and for many now, a call to action.
The moments of silence, between the chimes, were to let people of Newtown, Connecticut, know they are not alone.
"Words just aren't sufficient to express the horror." "There is a lot of anger how can this happen why would God let this happen and where is God, and it's normal."
At Downtown United Presbyterian Church on North Fitzhugh Street in Rochester, the bell rang at the same moment as bells at some 100,000 other congregations across the nation.
Pastor Deborah Roof knows nothing will fix this, but that together we can heal.
"Our God is so big that God can handle it and I think people have a hard time with is that they don't think that, they don't think it is okay to get angry at God, and it's absolutely okay and it is absolutely normal. This is absolutely tragic on all levels and I listen until the anger is also joined with sadness."
And for Pastor Roof-the bell here rang not 26 times, but 28.
"I believe that God wept for 28 victims, and so I think that is the prophetic word, victim... 28."
She knows not all will agree, to each his own, but that we all need to count our blessings. "Take an inventory. Life is just so fragile, we take it for granted. The Bible says that God is in our very breath which means God is not very far from us as long as we are breathing and to be intentional and take a moment."

While Germany Is Headed for 80% Renewable Energy, We're Getting Left in the Dust

This article was published in partnership with GlobalPossibilities.org.
When you think of places with great potential for solar energy, what comes to mind? Maybe the American Southwest, perhaps the Middle East. What probably doesn't come to mind is Germany — and yet Germany is leading a global revolution in renewable energy, with solar playing a key part.
In the U.S., we now get 6 percent of our energy from renewables, which is exactly where Germany was in 2000. And then it passed the Renewable Energy Act and jumpstarted a movement known as Energiewende. Twelve years later, Germany gets over 25 percent of its energy from renewables and it is surpassing all of its benchmarks to be 80 percent renewable-powered by 2050.
In his new book, Clean Break: The Story of Germany's Energy Transformation and What Americans Can Learn From It, Osha Gray Davidson explains how Germany made such a significant leap. Here are some shocking numbers he breaks down in the book:
25 percent of Germany's electricity now comes from solar, wind and biomass. A third of the world's installed solar capacity is found in Germany, a nation that gets roughly the same amount of sunlight as Alaska. A whopping 65 percent of the country's total renewable power capacity is now owned by individuals, cooperatives and communities, leaving Germany's once all-powerful utilities with just a sliver (6.5 percent) of this burgeoning sector.
AlterNet interviewed Davidson about his new book, and got his take on whether or not the U.S. can catch up to the green energy revolution.
Tara Lohan: You went to Germany interested in its clean energy revolution. Despite the research you'd done, were you surprised by what you found there?
Osha Gray Davidson: No matter how much I read about it beforehand, it couldn't prepare me for what I saw. I write in the book about traveling by train from Hamburg in the north down to Freiburg in the very south. It was something like a five-hour train ride but there wasn't more than 15 minutes that went by without seeing either wind turbines on the hills or farm fields or solar panels on roofs of houses, barns, anything that had a south-facing roof. Even knowing how much energy they get — now it is 26 percent — from renewables, it doesn't prepare you for what's it's like to live or visit a society that is moving in a big way to renewable energy.
TL: Does hitting their goal of 80 percent renewable power by 2050 seem realistic?
OGD: The reason it does seem realistic to me is they started out in the year 2000 with 6 percent renewable power and they've had a series of targets and so far they've been surpassing the targets. In the year 2020 their target was 30 percent, they are so far along now that they've moved that target to 35 percent. Everyone I've talked to there across the political spectrum says that 35 percent renewable energy by 2020 is completely doable.
When you look at how much money they're putting into this and how it's designed, and it's not universal support, but there is overwhelming support for this transformation throughout Germany. Knowing all that, yes, I can see them getting to 80 percent by 2050.
TL: What has been the key to their success so far?
OGD: A couple of things. One, they made a decision to do this and I think when a government and a population make a decision to do something and it's widespread that changes a whole lot because it's always a matter of political will, not technological will, that makes the difference. The support is key and the way that they got that support is they designed policies that would give everybody — all residents of Germany — a way to have skin in the game. Sixty-five percent of all renewable energy in Germany is owned by individuals and cooperatives and groups of small investors.

Jaguar XJL Ultimate, XJ AWD show up at Pebble Beach
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Aug 20th, 2012 at 11:29AM
Jaguar descended on the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance with two of its new models: the XJL Ultimate and the 3.0-liter XJ all-wheel drive. Built for chauffeuring the well-to-do about in style, the XJL Ultimate (above in black) packs a luxury-lined interior complete with reclining and massaging rear seats, a rear business table and a set of champagne flutes that store conveniently under a rear table. Of course, those vessels would be all but useless without a champagne chiller. Fortunately, Jaguar graced the rear cabin with just such an appliance between the rear seats. Both rear... Read More

The Republican Majority Leader for the Monroe County Legislature is calling out Democratic Chairman Joe Morelle after the recommendation of his son to fill a vacancy in the county legislature.
"I certainly don't think he should be prejudiced against because of his last name," said Joe Morelle.
Wednesday, Morelle Sr. recommended his 24-year-old son, Joseph Morelle Jr., to fill the vacancy in the county legislature left by Ted O'Brien, who was elected as a State Senator.
Republican Majority Leader Anthony Daniele calls the recommendation disappointing.
"Words like nepotism come around. It's a little disconcerting that for a party and a chairman who traditionally has been very critical of the Republican party for using words like nepotism, patronage, and alleged corruption. This kind of does not sit well and seems to be flipping the coin, if you will," said Daniele.
Daniele believes Morelle Jr. is getting the job because of who his father is and says the decision should be left up to voters.
"If Joe Jr. wanted to carry the family dynasty on to the next level, I would have expected that he'll run for it, which he'll have the opportunity to do in the fall," said Daniele.
Wednesday evening, Morelle Sr. responded by saying he didn't pick his son for the position; the Irondequoit Democratic Committee did last month by unanimous vote during a meeting he did not attend.
"First of all, if I had made the choice, perhaps he'd have the right to say that, but I didn't make the choice," said Morelle Sr. "My responsibility is county chair is as I've done in the pass is simply to communicate to the president of the county legislature who is been chosen by the local Democratic committee."
O'Brien, who is a part of that committee, says Morelle Jr. was chosen because of his involvement with the committee throughout the years.
"He's exactly the kind of person we need in the legislature. We need more young people to get involved in public service, which is a noble following in my view. I'm really encouraged that he'll be filling the seat that I'm vacating," said O'Brien.
County Legislature President Jeff Adair is expected to make the recommendation official. Once that happens, Morelle Jr. will hold the seat for 11 months until a special election in November.

Are we indeed "creatures of habit" and if so is that a bad thing? Habits rule our behavior as much as choice, yet free will and making the right choices create good habits. The biggest challenge for all of us in pursuit of great health lies in making choices that lead to healthy habits. Or put another way, doing the simple things every day that add up over time to promote health.
In guiding patients to great health, I encourage them to consider the "keys" for great health. The keys include attitude, diet, exercise, sleep, stress management, digestive health, detoxification, supplements and hormone balance. The first 5 keys are primarily up to the patient to implement and as such rely on consistent efforts. Just how can we build those great health habits?
Health, like so many things, does not rely on a secret key that suddenly unlocks the pathway to success. We can't have instant success, instant loyalty or trust, instant weight loss, or instant health. Success starts with a desire, a vision and a plan. Success happens due to effort and perseverance. Success is achieved with everyday decisions that will compound over time to produce results.
Attitude means making the easy decisions every day that add up to great health. It is just as easy not to do the right thing, as it is to do the right thing. Eating that greasy cheeseburger and fries with a super-size soda is an easy choice - one that is not likely to kill you today, but compounded over time it will. Just as easy is to eat something healthy. Skipping exercise, again, is easy. So is making the choice to exercise. Great health starts with having the right attitude, determined to make the right choices - without the right attitude then you may as well stop reading now.
So we make the decision to have the right attitude... now to make the right choices and that's where habits come in. And here is where it gets hard. Often great habits involve making changes and change brings stress to our brain. We don't do so well with change. One problem is we try to change too much too fast or change is so overwhelming we can't imagine how to make it happen.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step," wrote Chinese Taoist philosopher and founder of Taoism over 2,000 years ago in his book "Tao Te Ching" or "The Book of the Way." And so it is with change - what seems impossible is usually possible but one has to start somewhere.
Many years ago as a house painter I encountered what I called the "overwhelming paralysis" of wondering where to start and how in the world I was going to finish painting some giant house all by myself. I quickly learned to quit thinking and start painting. Just pick a corner, preferably in the shade, focus on a small area, and start. A week later it was done. After a while what once seemed overwhelming was routine. It was a habit.
Same thing happened the first week of medical school - overwhelming paralysis. How in the world could any human being ever get through all the material we were expected to read, never mind remember it well enough to pass a test! I quickly reminded myself that many before me had managed to pull it off so I had faith I would be able to "get 'er done" and just started reading. That started the habit of getting up at 5 a.m. to study - still do, 7 days a week, and most of my columns are written early in the morning. Old habit.
Kaizen is a Japanese term that means "improvement" or "change for the better." It is a process that is embedded into the culture and leads to changes in everything from health care to industry. A continuous process of analyzing, rethinking, and making changes that lead to improvements in health or improvements in production. The key is that Kaizen emphasizes small but continuous changes. Again... SMALL changes.
Robert Maurer, Ph.D., and author of "One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way," explains that small continuous changes are what adds up to success in the long term. Successful Fortune 500 companies get to the top by making small, steady, and well thought out improvements. Weight loss may happen by first eating only one bite less with each meal, then later two bites less. Starting an exercise program might begin with simply walking around the block and each day going just a little bit further. This is the Kaizen way.
How do we incorporate Kaizen into our health habits? Pick one the 5 keys and start. Choose an area you know you need to do better with. Make one small change. Tomorrow do it again. When you have that change established you have created a new habit. It feels good. Make another small change. Pick another key to health and start with yet another small change.
Getting help with establishing good habits is always a great idea. This might mean finding a buddy to exercise with. When the weather is cold, my wife is usually the one that encourages me to leave the warm fire and get bundled up for our morning walk. And, of course, once I'm out there I'm glad to keep the habit going! Have lunch with the co-worker that appreciates good healthy food and encourages you to eat smart.
Working with a health coach is an easy and affordable way to help you establish goals and stick with them. Coaches are trained to analyze each individual's strengths and weaknesses and turn health goals into achievements. I recommend and refer to our health coach regularly because I see it work to help patients establish great health habits.
Health coaches differ from the traditional medical paradigm in which we doctors give information to the patient and expect them to implement that information. Coaches guide patients toward their health goals by focusing on behavioral changes. This involves setting goals, identifying obstacles that interfere with goals, and providing the support necessary to make changes. Coaching empowers patients to help write their own prescription for great health and holds patients accountable for implementing their plan.
My upcoming seminar is called "Keys to Great Health" and is free to the public. I review the basics of the key elements for great health. The first element is attitude. The hardest thing we, as physicians, do is to get patients to have great health habits. A great health plan starts with that "first step." Your first step might be coming to my seminar... Kaizen!
