My editorial board colleagues are wrong. We should stand up for free speech — all of it.
The real goal was to colonize campuses with authority figures who hated 'Amerika'.
What if someone is running for office but wants to hide something from his unsavory past? Voters would be denied relevant information, and democracy would be impaired.
The conflict seems one of administrators trying to run its university like a corporation. The problem is that a university is not a corporation; or else, it ought not to be
'Trigger warnings' — which advise of potentially disturbing content to come — are the newest way of stifle free expression on campus
The administration has just lost its third court battle in four years
Speech comes with consequences, but I'm not sure anyone signed up for the idea that a single ill-judged tweet or private remark could cost them their job
Supporting a referendum is a pure expression of one's beliefs. Full disclosure in that context becomes a cudgel, an invitation to harassment.
Letters to the editor for Tuesday, April 1, 2014.
There have always been challenges to free speech on campus, but the difficulties of a few right-wing student groups and outside commentators that have caused such a media storm in recent years don't really rank among them.
Campus 'rape culture' is a social construction. 'Unfree speech culture' is the real disease
Aussie PM Tony Abbott lambastes national broadcaster for insufficient patriotism and rooting for the home team
Six students at Saint Mary's University in Halifax are in the midst of learning some harsh social media lessons after being suspended from the school's football team for allegedly tweeting messages of "hate, racism and sexism."
'Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant may not be everyone's cup of tea, but they unquestionably breathe life into what makes Canada a country of free thought and free speech'
Suing over the back-and-forth of public discourse turns the entire citizenry into an enfeebled child, writes Mark Steyn
Free speech for some, but not for others
Canada's universities and student unions earned a lot more F's than A's in our latest report. But there is some good news
Canadian campuses have long received failing grades for free speech. This year is no different. But new to the censorship parade at Canadian universities is the topic of men's issues awareness
Queen's University's rush to turn a free-speech wall into a legal issue sets a dangerous precedent.
Even union bosses have the right to speak their minds during elections.

Cycle Venting time!!!
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 08-20-2012 - 11:56am
Good morning ladies!
Frustrated, time to vent! I am totally feeling like an outsider here. Not because of you wonderful ladies but because my lady junk is apparently so messed up that I fit nowhere within this board. I am now on CD23, and have not stopped bleeding the entire time. Some days are just spots, most days are light (not even heavy or medium) but there has not been one day when I haven't seen a bit of pink on the tissue. Our insurance issues are still not resolved, we're trying but nothing is successful as of yet, hopefully that will change soon and I can get some answers. All of my symptoms point mostly towards a hormonal imbalance, most likely associated with peri-menopause. Man, talk about coming in quickly... It's very frustrating first it takes me 48-50 days to have a period (back in the old days before April of this year they were 27-32 days long) then when they come they are either epic or they just won't go the F away (sorry for the psuedo bad language ). So in any event, I we are still not preventing but TBH it's kind of hard to try around all of this weird stop and start (that's how I bleed, start the day sometimes and nothing and by day's end a light flow). Anyway, it probably doesn't matter because it's pretty likely that this is NOT a fertile cycle, yeah, one never knows so I keep a tiny glimmer of hope but ugh.
So anyway that's my stupid update. I just wish to someday again be able to join my lovely ladies in the 2WW again. So afraid it won't happen If it doesn't that would be so unfair. At this point, I'd just be happy to O, though the goal is baby, O and no blood until it's time ---- normal for crying out loud would be fan-freaking-tastic. Yeah, I'm a little pissed off about the whole thing, but there is nothing I can do about it but hope that this is part of God's plan. I'm hoping all this weird cycle stuff is God's mysterious way of helping me get closer to holding the baby of my dreams in my arms and holding it as my own for as long as he/she wants to be held. Sigh...
Hugs and dust ladies!

You aren't weird or gross! I know now what you are talking about. I just couldn't imagine what you meant- I think my brain was trying to put the sound of paper shredding in place of lining shedding! For me, it is more of a feeling than a sound but I can definitely tell that something is ripping apart in there. Thanks for explaining.
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 3:15pm
Ha! Now I feel a little weird/gross for bringing it up. I just assumed others could hear it also. It sounds a little like gas (the internal unreleased kind) but litterally sounds like wringing and shedding. When I hear it in conjunction with moderate to heavy bleeding and definately with cramps, I know for certain it is shedding. Ha!
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 3:15pm
i'm with the others, "hearing your lining shed"? huh. i've never heard my lining shed.
so so so glad you have an appt. hate that medical care costs so frigging much tho. FX that bleeding stops and the whole WW exam can be done.
KUP on what happens.
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 3:11pm
YAY for an appointment. I feel better knowing you are going to get some answers. I'm a little lost with the "hearing the lining shed". Is it an actual noise or more of a feeling? You've got me curious that I've been missing something!
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 2:13pm
Good luck with the doc. Answers are always very much appreciated in this journey.
|Tue, 08-28-2012 - 6:17pm
Monica, let me parrot everything that AnneMarie said. I appreciate the kind words. Mostly, I'm really praying we get a BFP from you tomorrow. I'll be stalking.
Annemarie, I picked up the B6 and have been taking 100mg the last couple of days. Let's say my flow was heavier both days. I should be due for AF though, and the early part of this cycle was pretty light for me - AF-wise. I am even hearing that lining shedding noise, I didn't hear that last time. Not to be gross, but I'm assuming others can hear their own lining shedding sometimes, lol. Anyway, I do have an appointment now. I will pay out of pocket. It isn't too outrageous, assuming its fairly routine. About 400-800 dollars should do it, including ultrasound, if needed, and labs. So, that is supposed to be next week. Really hoping bleeding stops by then and it ends up to be lab work and a well-woman. Because the 400-800 is assuming im still bleeding and they can't do a WW exam. Soooo excited at the prospect of getting some answers... Amen!!!
|Mon, 08-27-2012 - 8:29pm
Thanks for your kind and inspring words. I was the one that said I had put my life on hold. I started putting more emphasis on living and less on TTC this summer. I think my overall outlook has improved since then. Good for you working out 4 days a week. It certainly does make you feel better!
I hope you have good news for us soon!
|Mon, 08-27-2012 - 6:10pm
michele & annemarie:
you both sound like you're headed in the right direction! i quit the diet coke thing about a year ago, and now i only have it as a treat.
my husband was having some health problems and his dr said to him, "i understand your frustration, but concentrate on the things you CAN control." DH didn't take that to heart, but i did. starting in june i started working out 4x/week because i couldn't sit around anymore just waiting to get pregnant. i needed my life to keep going -- i think one of you said that you were also putting your life on hold for this TTC thing -- and let me tell you it's been great. i haven't lost a ton of weight, but i do feel better, and know my body is starting to look better too, which means i feel better.
anyway, i'm thinking of you both and love that you keep updating this board!

I'm trying to locate the wscsvc.dll file in the CAB's on the install disk and not finding it anywhere. Anyone know which CAB holds that file or where I might be able to locate and index of file locations for a 2k3 R2 disk. Thanks!
Use an xp or 2003 machine and the search feature to search for text inside files, use the filename or the filename minus the extention and run the search. I think that the CAB file index is in plain text.
If you have a Windows 8 machine you can also set search to search inside CAB and ZIP files so this would also be another method of easily finding the file.

Aimia And Grupo Aeromexico Announce Agreement In Principle
Aimia to acquire from Grupo Aeromexico an additional 20% equity participation in Premier Loyalty & Marketing, owner and operator of Club Premier, Mexico's leading coalition loyalty program
MONTREAL and MEXICO CITY, Oct. 29, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - (TSX: AIM) (BMV: AEROMEX.MEX)
Aimia Inc. ("Aimia") and Grupo Aeromexico ("Grupo Aeromexico" or "Aeromexico"), S.A.B. de C.V. are pleased to report that they have reached an agreement in principle in connection with the acquisition by Aimia of an additional 20% equity participation in Premier Loyalty & Marketing, S.A.P.I. de C.V. ("PLM"), owner and operator of Club Premier, Mexico's leading coalition loyalty program.
PLM's fair value has been established at US$518 million and Aimia will pay US$88 million, which includes a discount agreed to at the time of Aimia's initial investment in PLM in September of 2010. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the execution of definitive agreements and Mexican regulatory approvals, and is expected to close before the end of 2012.After closing, Aimia's and Grupo Aeromexico's equity participations in PLM will approximate 49% and 51%, respectively. Aimia and Grupo Aeromexico will continue their close collaboration and support of PLM's management team in the execution of their strategy to enable PLM to achieve its full potential as Mexico's leading coalition loyalty program. "PLM's exceptional performance is the result of a strong partnership at the shareholder level and flawless execution by its very talented management team," said Rupert Duchesne, Group Chief Executive of Aimia. "We are thrilled with PLM's progress over the last two years. This provides clear evidence of the strength and portability of the Aeroplan-derived business model. The success of this partnership confirms our strategic vision in entering this important market and choosing the right partner in Grupo Aeromexico, the undisputed leading Mexican carrier." added Duchesne. Andrés Conesa, Chief Executive Officer of Grupo Aeromexico added: "This transaction reflects Aimia's confidence, not only in PLM and in Grupo Aeromexico's future, but also in the favourable outlook for the Mexican economy and Mexico's consumer sector, which will fuel our future growth. By partnering with clear industry leaders, we have been able to create and unlock significant value for our shareholders." RBC Capital Markets acted as advisor to Aimia in the transaction, while Citibank advised Grupo Aeromexico.

AccuScore: Dolphins upset over Cardinals?
September, 26, 2012
By James Walker | ESPN.com
On paper, the Miami Dolphins (1-2) appear to be a long shot to travel to Arizona Sunday and beat the undefeated Cardinals (3-0). But AccuScore predicts this game will be much closer than most expect.
According to simulations, if Dolphins rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill throws one touchdown and completes at least 55 percent of his passes, Miami has a 65-percent chance to win.
Sounds easy, right?
But overall, AccuScore gives Miami a 42 percent chance of beating the Cardinals. I think those are decent odds, with much of it resting on Tannehill's ability to perform against a good defense on the road.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

By Ashley Zimmerman
If a band exists solely to keep the party going — as California's Smash Mouth clearly does — it makes perfect sense to catch that band in a tailgate party setting before a huge football game. For this appearance, Smash Mouth takes a detour from its usual casino engagements to play the Dolphin Stadium parking lot as part of the pregame celebration for the BCS National Championship. Before Florida faces Oklahoma, fans should be treated to such appropriately party-minded chestnuts as "All Star," "Can't Get Enough of You, Baby," "Then the Morning Comes," the band's re-working of the Monkees' "I'm a Believer," and, of course, its, um, smash hit, "Walking on the Sun."
When "Walking" first broke like a virus all over MTV and radio in 1997, listeners had every reason to believe that Smash Mouth would disappear before you could finish saying, "I hope you save those royalty checks." By all rights, that's what should have happened, but raspy-voiced frontman Steve Harwell and company turned out to be too wily and resilient for that. With a sound that, to be fair, combines a 1960s surf/garage aesthetic, pop polish, hooks, and even flavorful touches of suburban white-boy reggae with unparalleled skill, Smash Mouth has graced the public with just enough unforgettable songs to still be kicking. Harwell likens the band's ethos to the Kinks' "Where Have All the Good Times Gone?" The answer? To the game, of course.

Square Enix announces Dragon Quest X for 3DS
[Update: Dragon Quest X uses cloud functionality for 3DS similar to that of the smartphone versions. This means the game runs via Square's servers, rather than natively on the handheld.]
Let's face it, Dragon Quest X is never coming west. But the MMORPG is heading to Nintendo 3DS, Square Enix announced today.
The portable version supports cross-platform play with the Wii, Wii U, and Windows PC releases. It also comes equipped with a 60-day trial subscription, which should give the title ample time to get its hooks in players before Square Enix starts demanding coin.
Dragon Quest X will be available for 3DS in Japan starting September 4, 2014.

"Loved how these cards turned out. We have received so many compliments about these announcements for our son. Would recommend for a family that wants a clean, straightforward, fun announcement."
"This cute design compliments the picture of your adorable baby. Of Course they under promised and over delivered on the delivery time. Ordered on Monday and delivered on Friday."
"I never write reviews but I HAD to for this product. This christmas card turned out better than I could have ever imagined. My son was born in september and I never sent out birth announcements (because life with a newborn is chaotic) so I used it for our christmas card/be-lated birth announcement. It is beautiful the quality is 5 stars and seems like it should have cost 10x as much. I highly recommend."
"I received a lot of compliments on the card. The quality of the card is great. I would have loved to have seen the card in lighter colors and/or more holiday themed. I liked how you could design the back of the card with a different color and photo and add another message. I used this card as a combination birth announcement and Christmas card. I would recommend it."
"This card is just as it looks and printed so beutifully! I used color pictures but it is still perfect. I got lots of compliments on it, I recommend it!"

Trouble in the Almond Orchards
Beekeepers and almond growers are concerned--and rightfully so--about the some 80,000 bee colonies that died this year in the San Joaquin Valley almond orchards. In monetary terms, that's a loss of about $180,000. But the loss isn't just financial. It could have long-term effects.
Beekeepers believe that pesticides killed their bees after the almond pollination season ended but just before they could move their bees to another site. This is a serious blow to both industries. Growers need the bees to pollinate their almonds. Now some beekeepers are vowing this is it; they'll never to return for another almond pollination season.
Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology talks about the issue in his latest edition of from the uc apiaries, published today on his website.
"When should the colonies be allowed to leave the orchards?" he asks. "When pollination no longer is happening. That does not mean that the bees should remain in place until the last petal falls from the last blossom."
"Why might beekeepers desire to move their hives out of the orchards 'early?' Once the almonds no longer provide nectar and pollen for the bees, the bees find replacement sources of food. Unfortunately, those sources may be contaminated with pesticides that almond growers would never use when the bees are present. Some common pests that surge right near the end of almond bloom include Egyptian alfalfa weevil larvae and aphids in alfalfa, and grape cutworms in vineyards. Delayed dormant sprays sometimes are being applied in other deciduous fruit orchards, even when the trees are in bloom. Often blooming weeds in the crops are attracting honey bees. If the year is really dry, the bees may be attracted to sugary secretions of aphids and other sucking bugs."
Mussen says it's "not difficult to see that accidental bee poisonings often happen. Despite our California regulations requiring beekeepers to be notified of applications of bee-toxic chemicals within a mile of the apiaries, bees fly up to four miles from their hives to find food and water. That is an area of 50 square miles in which they may find clean or contaminated food sources. Thus, growers whose fields are 'nowhere near' any known apiary locations may accidentally kill many bees with chemical applications."
"It seems," Mussen says, "that a combination of exposures of colonies to truly bee-toxic insecticides, followed by delayed effects of exposure to fungicide/IGR mixes during bloom, really set the bees way behind. The problem proved so severe that a number of beekeepers stated that they were never returning to California for almond pollination. That is not a good thing, since we really don't have too many colonies coming to almonds as it is."
In his newsletter, Mussen goes into depth about when and how bees pollinate the almonds and what could be causing the problem and how it can be resolved.
His take-home message? "Our honey bees cannot continue to be exposed to as many toxic agricultural products as they are, or we will not have enough bees to fill the pollination demand for our nuts, fruits, vegetable, forage and seed crops."
That's serious business.

Tough Time for Bees
He sounded the alarm.
"We need 1.6 million colonies, or two colonies per acre, and California has only about 500,000 colonies that can be used for that purpose," said Mussen in a news release we posted Feb. 8 on the Department of Entomology website. "We need to bring in a million more colonies but due to the winter losses, we may not have enough bees."
Those winter losses--still being tabulated--and the resulting fewer bees per hive could spell trouble for almond growers, he said.
He said 2012 was a bad year for bee nutrition.
"Last year was not a good year for honey production in the United States," Mussen said, "and it could be one of the worst honey production years in the history of nation, although it's been pretty rough in some of the previous years. Usually when we're short of nectar, we're short on pollen, and honey bees need both. So, 2012 was a bad year for bee nutrition."
The winter of 2012-2013, in general, was bad for bees. In fact, it's never been good since the winter of 2006 with the onset of colony collapse disorder, a mysterious malady characterized by adult bees abandoning the hive, leaving behind the queen bee, brood and food stores.
Bee scientists think CCD is caused by a multitude of factors, includes, pests, pesticides, parasites, diseases, malnutrition and stress. On the average, beekeepers report they're losing one-third of their bees a year.
"We don't know how many more bees will be lost over the winter," Mussen told us on Feb. 8. "We consider the winter ending when the weather warms up and the pollen is being brought into the hives."
"Many, many colonies are not going to make it through the winter. We won't have as large a bee population as in the past."
Mussen, a member of the UC Davis Department of Entomology since 1976, knows honey bees. He is a honey bee guru, a global expert on bees. "Have a question about bees? Ask Eric Mussen." This month, especially, he is in great demand as a news source.
The New York Times quoted Mussen in its March 28th article, "Mystery Malady Kills More Bees, Heightening Worry on Farms."
Eric Mussen, an apiculturist at the University of California, Davis, said analysts had documented about 150 chemical residues in pollen and wax gathered from beehives.
"Where do you start?" Dr. Mussen said. "When you have all these chemicals at a sublethal leel how do they react with each other? What are the consequences?"
Experts say nobody knows.
Meanwhile, Mussen spent much of the day today granting news media interviews. On Tuesday, April 2, it will be for Dan Rather Reports: Buzzkill.
It was not so long ago that honey bees drew little attention, despite the fact that they pollinate about one-third of the food we eat. A three-letter acronym, CCD, changed all that.
Rich Schubert, a beekeeper in the Winters/Vacaville area, said it best during a question-and-answer session at Mussen's UC Davis Distinguished Seminar on Oct. 9, 2007.
If 5600 dead cows were found in a pasture, instead of 5600 dead bees, people would start paying attention, Schubert told the crowd.
So true. And now they are.

Symphony in the Almonds
Symphony in the almond blossoms...
There's a wild almond tree planted in a field off Bee Biology Road at the University of California, Davis, that's incredibly beautiful.
Honey bees from the nearby apiary at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility reunite on the blossoms, each bee seemingly vying for the best pollen to take back to her hive.
The tree is not quite in full bloom, but don't tell that to the bees. We captured a few images of them in flight, a moving symphony performance in the almonds.

Turning Over a New Leaf (Footed Bug)
When you first see the leaffooted bug, you know immediately how it got its name.
The appendages on its feet look like leaves!
This morning we saw one in our catmint (Nepeta) patch. It crawled beneath the tiny leaves, sharing space with honey bees, European wool carder bees, butterflies and assorted spiders.
Tonight scores of them stormed our pomegranate tree. In fact, they made the immature fruit their kitchen, living room and bedroom.
Although the leaffooted bug (Leptoglossus clypealis) is a pest of pistachios and almonds, we've never seen it on our pomegranate tree until today. Our tree, planted in 1927--back when Herbert Hoover was the U.S. president--has few pests. One year white flies attacked it mercilessly. Tonight leaffooted bugs claimed squatters' rights.
The adult bug is about an inch long with a white or yellow zigzag across its back. Shades of Zorro! Its most distinctive feature, however, are the leaflike appendages on its feet.
Back in 2009, integrated pest management specialist Frank Zalom, professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis, co-authored UC IPM Pest Management Guidelines on the leaffooted bug as it pertains to almonds. Zalom and his colleagues called attention to their needlelike mouthparts. The adults feed on young nuts "before the shell hardens." And after the nut is developed, "leaffooted bug feeding can still cause black spots on the kernel or wrinkled, misshapen nutmeats."
As for our pomegranate tree, we're not sure how well these leaffooted bugs can probe the tough, leathery fruit.
We open the pomegranates with a serrated knife...

Everything Is Connected; Even the Bees
"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe."--John Muir, My First Summer in the Sierra
Ecologist Louie Yang of the UC Davis Department of Entomology, tags that quote at the end of each email.
So true.
On that note, did you catch the Feb. 14th National Public Radio piece on "Why California Almonds Need North Dakota Flowers (And a Few Million Bees)?"
"Here's the web of connections: a threat to California's booming almond business; hard times for honey bees in North Dakota; and high corn prices," Dan Charles said.
The gist of it:
Every year, bees from 1.6 million of the nation's hives are trucked into California to pollinate the 750,000 acres of almonds. Since the almond pollination season is brief--a few weeks in mid-February--the bees need someplace to thrive after the bloom ends. Many beekeepers head to North Dakota's federally funded government program, the Conservation Reserve Program, where flowers bloom all summer long. Basically, Uncle Sam leases land from the farmers to help the bees thrive.
Now, however, North Dakota farmers are finding it more profitable to grow corn than put their land in the Conservation Reserve Program.
"The amount of North Dakota land in the Conservation Reserve, meanwhile, has declined by a third over the past five years," said Charles. "This year, it's expected to take another plunge, perhaps down to half what it was its peak."
So, bottom line, California almonds--and the nation's bees--are tied to the North Dakota's Conservation Reserve Program.
As Charles correctly pointed out: "This is not just a beekeeper's problem anymore. ...the prosperity of almond growers...depends on what happens to bees on the lonely northern Plains."
To get a really good grasp of the situation, read Hannah Nordhaus' excellent book, "The Beekeeper's Lament: How One Man and Half a Billion Honey Bees Help Feed America."
NPR interviewed some of the very migratory beekeepers that Nordhaus interviewed.

text: I saw Just Another Day last weekend and it's terrible. Wood Harris and Jamie Hector of The Wire tv show played rappers in this. Wood Harris is always playing a criminal in most of his movies hahahahahahahahahaha. He's only done about 3 movies that were different like Rhapsody with LisaRaye, Jimi Hendrix movie, Remember The Titans with Denzel Washington. His brother Steve Harris who played on The Practice tv show and Sugar Hill movie with Wesley Snipes is a better actor than him. Anyway Just Another Day is about Wood and Jamie are rappers and it's your typical hood movie that has real rappers Trick Daddy, Little Scrappy, Petey Pablo, Ja Rule, Big Daddy Kane(i don't know why he wasted his time with this). Peter Spirer who directed the classic rap documentary movie Rhyme And Reason did this movie. Black model Esther Baxter also has a small role in this. I'm mad that i wasted my time watching this crap.

Sarah & Brandon's Swan/Il Mulino 04.28.12**The not so good stuff**
You would think that 14 months of engagement, and endless hours on this site I would have started my planning journal by now. Of course, it would have been a total cluster since I have planned and replanned the day a dozen times by now :D
Brandon and I are planning our wedding from Seattle. We are having an evening wedding with roughly 50 guests on Saturday, April 28th at the Crescent Terrace at the Swan & Dolphin hotel. We will have a seated dinner to follow at Il Mulino. After that? Magic Kingdom, baby!
I'm going to try and keep an index here as well. Let's start with ...

How We Met
I had just recently moved to Seattle and was doing as much as I could to get out and meet people. A new friend Kristi and I decided to head to a "Singles Mixer" at nearby church. All day long I kept thinking "I'm going to meet someone tonight!" I just had that feeling, all day long. Something really great was about to happen.
We got all dolled up and headed to the church. To our complete disappointment, we arrived to a room full of very very young people. I don't know about you, but I didn't consider myself a "single" when I was still in High School. I swear, none of them could have been old enough to even go to a bar. And for a couple of gals in their late 20's, this just wasn't our crowd. We left quickly, feeling a bit deflated.
A Saturday night with hair, makeup and the perfect outfit couldn't be wasted, so we met up with some friends at a bar. This bar in particular is one that I swear, you can walk in, drink a glass of water and walk out trashed. I wasn't drinking water, but I did have a few cocktails ;)
We left the bar to hop to another in the area, and I took that opportunity to show everyone how good I am at running (I get a few drinks at me and decide I'm athletic, I have no idea why) While I was running ahead of the group, I looked down a street and saw two guys walking up. One of them was a lumberjack of a man who caught my eye right away. I walked right up to him, linked my arm in his and said "Hi! I'm Sarah!" He looked over at this strange girl who had her arm in his and said "Well, hi there Sarah! I'm Brandon"
We walked together to another bar where he bought me a drink and talked for hours and hours. We clicked instantly. I gave him my phone number and we had the most romantic kiss on the sidewalk as I hailed my chariot (cab) home. The next morning I called one of my best friends and told her I was in loOooOOve!! And that I met the man I was going to marry. I just knew.
Brandon kept his promise and called me the next day. We went on a date the next weekend and have been together ever since. 3 1/2 years of unabashed love.
Our Engagement
Our very first vacation together was November 2009 to Disney World. Brandon and I were both so excited to learn that the other person loved Disney World so naturally we started planning that as our vacation within the first year of dating. The trip was amazing, and apparently sparked an idea with Brandon. One night we had dinner at the California Grill and were able to watch the fireworks at Magic Kingdom from the rooftop deck. It was very romantic and he decided right there "I have to propose to Sarah here!" Well, of course he didn't have a ring so the planning started.
One year later, we were taking the same trip back to Disney. We nicknamed the trip "Upgrades!" because I kept getting surprised along the way of plans Brandon had secretly made. Like when we got on our plane from Seattle and I found that were were in first class! Brandon smiled and said "Upgrade!". Then I was reviewing our itinerary for the hotel and wanted to call and confirm something. Brandon panicked a bit and told me not to. Then he confessed that he had secretly changed our booking from Pop Century to Coronado Springs. Upgrade!
Well, I started to get the hint. This was a special trip. Don't get me wrong, there was a big part of me hoping that there would be a ring on my finger by the end of the week, but I also was afraid of being disappointed. This was going to be a great vacation and I wasn't going to be bummed out if he didn't propose.
I had made reservations again at the California Grill on one of our last nights of the trip. A few months before then, Brandon made a stink about changing the reservation to earlier in the week. I got a bit ticked since I had worked hard on our DNR but changed it anyway. (Of course I had no idea it was because he realized he wouldn't be able to get through the whole week without popping the question!)
The night of the dinner at California Grill I was not feeling well at all. We had been in the hotel for a few hours with me in bed and I was not terribly motivated to get ready. No makeup, lazy hairdo and a jacket I had bought in the gift shop when the weather was colder than I had anticipated.
The plan was, we would check in for our reservation but head to the deck to watch the Wishes display, then have dinner. I went to the deck and waited for Brandon to get us drinks. Just a few minutes on the deck and the table buzzer goes off. Well, I had a "told ya so!" moment since the reservation was all screwed up from my original DNR. I walk in and motion at Brandon at the bar. He looked SO frazzled! grabbed our drinks and we head to our table. Brandon asks our server if he can speak to him for a moment. They walk off and come back, he says they will hold our table while we go out on the balcony.
By the time we get to the deck, it was pretty full. We tried our best to poke our way up to the front, but there were a lot of kids all over. Brandon was freaking out and trying so hard to ask Moms to take their kids away so he could have his proposal. It didn't matter, because the fireworks started and the music swelled. He was standing behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. He said "Sarah, I have something to ask you before this starts" He got on one knee and proceeded to say a string of lovely words that I'm sure were a cohesive sentence but I didn't hear a word. I burst into tears and started fanning my face saying "Oh my gosh oh my gosh" over and over and over. He finally had to remind me to actually *answer* to which I said YES! Over and over and over!
We watched the fireworks and cried, hugged. It was beautiful. I hadn't even noticed that during the proposal there were pictures being taken. And thats one of my favorite parts...so let's back up to Brandon getting drinks before dinner.
While he was at the bar, he was transferring the ring from the soft pouch to the hard box. A gentleman was at the bar as well and saw the transfer. "You're popping the question tonight?" he asked and Brandon with a big grin on his face said yes, he was asking me to be his wife tonight. He wished Brandon luck and they parted ways. Well, he decided to capture that special moment for us himself. He stood behind Brandon and snapped tons of pictures on his camera. Then after the fireworks as we were all walking back into California Grill, he handed Brandon his business card and said to e-mail him for the pics. He wishes us the best and said he hoped to see us there again someday with our future children. Cue more crying! It was one of the most amazing moments of my life and this stranger caught it on film for me! Can't believe it
Day of Details - Vendors
April 28th, 2012 @5:30pm
Crescent Terrace at the Swan and Dolphin Hotel
We actually went back and forth on several different locations at this venue. We finally picked the Terrace due to the privacy and the foliage which will provide free decor!
I'm not really going to be decorating much, since I'm planning this from Seattle. We're going to honeymoon in Disney for 2 weeks so I will have 0 extra space to drag things down (plus part of the appeal of the destination wedding for me was not having to stress over decorations and other details)
I will be doing an arch though and I decided on one big cluster of flowers at the top, like this other Swan Bride did here
Il Mulino. It is next door to the Crescent Terrace and they have been amazing to work with. Really excited!
String Trio - suggested by S/D coordinator, they play for Seaworld
Rev Phil McCullough
I actually don't know the name of the vendor! Karen at Just Marry has me booked for someone. I want my bouquet to look like this
That also shows my colors. I opted out of having a wedding party. Our total guest list is 41 people and most of those are immediate family. It felt weird to have a ton of people up front with such a small ceremony. Just my preference. We will have corsages and boutonnières for our parents. The flower girls have streamers they will be holding.
oh yeah, I am having flower girls and a ring bearer :D My two nieces who will be respectively, 3 and 5 during the ceremony will do the honors of cute relief during the ceremony. And my 7 year old nephew will be the bearer of rings.
Congrats to another Swan bride! I love the story of your meeting and proposal!
Always good to see a new PJ from a S/D bride!!! Keep up the good work sweetie!!!
Thank you ladies!!
The planning is in full swing. I won't get into how much I am a moron and screwed up booking our trips....(waiting until a "better deal comes along" bit me in the @ss) but as of last night, everyone is booked! Brandon and I have two weeks at the Contemporary for our wedding and honeymoon. /me faints. I never thought I would get to stay there, so I'm jazzed!!
I also ordered a necklace I found online that is so unique. I'm hoping it looks as nice in person to use for the wedding.
Congrats and welcome! What a lovely story. Thanks for sharing. We're having our VR at Crescent terrace a month before you. I can't wait to hear more about your plans :)
Your story is too cute! I love it! :laughing:
Your proposal story is so so sweet! How luck you are to have that photo!! :hug:
The floral bouquet is gorgeous and I adore your colors!! The necklace is so unique-- pretty!
YAY for another S/D bride!
Thanks so much for all the sweet comments! It's so great for the date to finally be in reach =)
And GREAT NEWS! I switched the reception and so far I couldn't be happier with Il Mulino! I had been working with the Blue Zoo since May of last year and had nothing but problems. The last straw was an e-mail from November that had never been answered, a follow up to the unanswered e-mail over a week ago still not being answered. I can't plan a wedding from out of state if the contact won't get back to me.
Il Mulino looks like it's going to be an even better option. We knew the menu at Blue Zoo was much more our speed and might not be as much of a crowd pleaser (for those picky eaters like my FMIL who hates fish!) but Il Mulino really will be more of a crowd pleaser. And the coordinator there has me feeling so very taken care of.
Next up: Menu Selection, Wine Selections and Seating Charts!
Yay for switching to Il Mulino! You know what, Bluezoo was my first choice too but they would. not. get back to me. It drove me nuts and when I visited Il Mulino the manager Brian was so amazing and wonderful that we booked on the spot. Erica is so great to work with! They even let us come up for a menu tasting and we were able to switch out a salad that we didn't like and choose wines. I've been thrilled with them so far and another S/D bride just had her reception there and raved about it too. I think you'll be happy with your choice!
Can't wait to hear your reception details!
Glad you are happy with your switch!
Glad you were able to find an even better place!
I adore that bouquet! So beautiful!

Tastes of Sicily- Pasta with Cauliflower
7 comments:
just found your blog and i am enchanted... i spent a month in tuscany this spring, by reading you daily i can relive the fun forever~ReplyDelete
- Mrs. Jay8:20 AM
I LOVE pasta with cauliflower! It's a staple in our house during this time of year. I actually cook the cauliflower in the same pot as the pasta. About mid-way through the pasta's cooking time, I throw the cauliflower into the same pot. Both finish cooking at the same time, and I just throw them both into the pan with the oil, garlic, and chili. I do toss in about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of grated parmigiano, though, before serving with the breadcrumbs. This dish is also great with broccoli! Here in Sicily, they seem to use broccoli and cauliflower interchangeably.ReplyDelete
Mrs Jay- Usually do boil the veggies directly in the water with the pasta, but this time was to have boiled cauliflower... and use SOME for the pasta sauce.ReplyDelete
In liguria they also do string beans and tiny potato cubes in the water and then dress the pasta with pesto.
In northern Italy, cabbage and potatoes with buckwheat pasta, and then layer with melted butter, with sage and parmesan cheese and thinly sliced Fontina! that sticks to your ribs when it is cold outside! ( PIzzocheri is the pasta)
Ciao, Diva: I know this recipe was posted awhile ago, but I just came across it. I cook this meal every couple of months with anchovies as you suggested...may I be so bold as to suggest to a Diva this wonderful addition to this dish? Add some pignoli to it. A great flavor and mouthfeel. NReplyDelete

1 T honey subbed for the sugar. At first, I didn't care for the hot and sweet together, but I ended up liking it! Great flavor!
I will put in more black pepper next time, and I also left the diced peppers in the cabbage. I added some butter as well. It went great with the jamaican rice and Jerk chicken, and Cuban black beans.
I subbed a habenero pepper for the Scotch bonnet pepper, as I couldn't find one in my local grocery store. The texture was nice, but the flavor was kind of bland. We added Sriracha sauce for an extra kick.

On Wednesday, Joakim Noah will make his return to the Chicago Bulls lineup after missing 30 games due to hand surgery. We've already discussed how he will help the team offensively, but he'll be a big boost defensively as well.
"Well, you know, I think he's going to help," former Bull Kendall Gill said on the Danny Mac Show when asked about Noah's return impacting the defense.
LISTEN: Kendall Gill On The Danny Mac Show
"I mean, Joakim is the anchor to that defense and they still maintain that great defense, I think they're second in the league right now defensively. And I think that now with Joakim back they'll be even better. I think that he's going to help Carlos Boozer out a great deal. I think Carlos Boozer is a great offensive player, but sometimes he does struggle on the defensive end, and that's one of the things Joakim will help hide when he comes back…And coach [Tom] Thibodeau knows that, that's why he's so excited to get this guy back."
The Bulls rank second in the NBA allowing 92.4 points per game.

February is the beginning of my dedication to "practicing presence". That is, I will practice being present when I eat, when I buy food, when I prepare food, when I order food when I eat out, when I exercise, and at many other times of the day as I can practice presence. Checking out when I server myself portions of food, even good food, is still a challenge, and staying present when I am eating it, is the biggest challenge of all. Being present, when I am actually full and not continuing to eat is another challenge. Food is my "drug" of choice, when I want to retreat into my comfort zone and escape from the stress of life. This escaping turns a nourishing substance into a potential poison to my well being. It is a matter of life or death. Choose life and be present or choose death by doing the same thing over and over again and not stay present.
Jack Lalanne died this last weekend at his home in Morro Bay surrounded by his family with the football play offs on the TV. He lived a long and healthy life, doing what he loved. He was a sugarholic as a teenager, his brothers had died of pneumonia and his mother was worried that Jack would die like his brothers. She dragged him to a Paul Bragg "revival" meeting in San Francisco and they were so late that there was not even standing room. Paul Bragg boomed out, "let's not turn anyone away, bring two more chairs..." The only place to put the chairs was on the stage next to Paul Bragg. Imagine the embarrassment that the 15 year old Jack felt, sitting on the stage with his pimply face, next to his worried French mother. It was the turning point in his life. Paul Bragg looked Jack in the eyes and said that "it is never too late to start to change your life and become healthy". Paul Bragg was a powerful health evangelist and he changed Jack's life forever. Jack committed himself to following Bragg's health principles and went on to change the way Americans thought about health and exercise with his long running television show and his famous "Jumping Jacks" and elastic stretch bands. Jack lived to be 96 years old, but more importantly, he exercised 2 hours every day and ate only healthy food, "if man made it, don't eat it" was one of his most common quotes. This daily commitment made it possible for him to live a high quality life until the very end. Who can ask for more, regardless of the length of our lives. Thanks, Jack for inspiring us all!
A diet of fruits, vegetables and nuts lowers the bad
LDL cholesterol in two weeks by 33 percent, far more than the same
diet with added grains and low fat diary (23 percent), and even
more than by the National Cholesterol Therapeutic Step-2 diet
recommended by doctors for people with high cholesterol (7 percent).
Even more important, the ratios of LDL/HDL cholesterol are
reduced by 24 percent, 12 percent, and 5 percent respectively
(Epidemiology, March 2006).
This study by David Jenkins and many other studies
show that the most effective way to lower high cholesterol and
blood pressure, prevent heart attacks and prolong life is to avoid
taking in more calories than you burn. Limiting food intake to
just fruits, vegetables and nuts makes it very difficult to meet
your needs for calories. You have to eat all day long to get
enough calories just to maintain your weight. This diet is almost
the same as what human ancestors ate 4 to 7 million years ago
before they split off in development from apes, who eat almost
the same way in the wild today.
Further evidence that extra calories cause heart attacks
comes from the fact that reducing your intake of calories by one
third and eating nothing but fatty meats and diary products will
cause your blood cholesterol level to go down (European Heart
Journal Supplements, 1999;1(S):S19-S23). Saturated fats are
broken down in your liver to two-carbon acetone units. If you
take in more calories than you need, the acetone units are used
as building blocks to make cholesterol and your blood cholesterol
level rises. On the other hand, if you are not taking in extra
calories, the acetone units are burned for energy and do not raise
The fruit-vegetable-nut diet is extremely low in significant
amounts of starch because humans did not eat large amounts of
grains until the agricultural revolution about 10,000 years ago.
By adding whole grains and animal products to the fruit-vegetable-
nut diet, humans suddenly increased their caloric intake
dramatically. Their bodies were used to trying to get every calorie
they could possibly get from the food that they eat. Now they
could get all the calories they needed. As long as they were very
active physically, they could compensate for the extra calories
that they could take in and use. However, as soon as humans
stop being physically active, they start to store extra calories
as fat and it is the extra fat that causes much of modern day
Adding low-fat dairy products, whole grains and dried
beans to a fruit-vegetable-nut diet creates a diet that is low in
saturated fat and low in cholesterol. This is the basis of the
therapeutic diets recommended by most physicians to help prevent
heart attacks today, yet these diets are significantly less
effective than the fruit-vegetable-nut diet that forces severe
calorie restriction.
The most unhealthful diet is one that allows you to take
in more calories than you need *so you store more fat in your
muscles, *fat in cells blocks insulin receptors, *your cells stop
responding to insulin, *your blood sugar rises, *sugar sticks to
cell membranes to damage cells and cause *diabetes, heart
attacks, strokes, cancers, and premature death.
If you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart
disease or diabetes, try limiting your diet to fruits, vegetables
and nuts for just two weeks. It is likely that your cholesterol
and blood pressure will drop significantly in that short time, and
you will have identified the source of your problem.
Dr. Gabe Mirkin's Fitness and Health E-Zine
January 23, 2011
Gabe Mirkin, M.D.
You exercise so intensely that your muscles burn and you gasp for breath. Then you slow down for a minute or two, catch your breath, and then go very fast again. This training technique has been used in all endurance sports since the 1920's. Now George Brooks of the University of California at Berkeley has shown why interval training makes you a better athlete (American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, June 2006).
Inside each muscle cell are mitochondria, the little furnaces that burn fuel for energy. A major fuel for your muscles during exercise is the sugar, glucose. In a series of chemical reactions, glucose is broken down step by step, with each step releasing energy. When enough oxygen is available, the glucose releases all of its energy until only carbon dioxide and water remain; these are blown off through your lungs. However, if not enough oxygen is available, the chemical reactions stop at lactic acid which accumulates in the muscles and spills over into the bloodstream. Lactic acid makes muscles acidic and causes a burning feeling. This recent research shows that lactic acid is the most efficient source of energy for muscles. Anything that helps muscles to break down lactic acid faster will make you a better athlete because it will increase your endurance and allow you to move faster when you are tired.
Since lactic acid is burned for energy in the mitochondria, anything that enlarges the mitochondria builds a bigger furnace and helps to increase endurance. Lactic acid is carried from the cells into the mitochondria by special proteins called lactate transporter molecules, so anything that increases these molecules will build endurance. An enzyme called lactic acid dehydrogenase is needed to start the reaction, so anything that increases this enzyme will also help. Interval training does all three: it enlarges the furnace (mitochondria), increases lactic acid transporter molecules, and increases the amount of lactic acid dehydrogenase. www.DrMirkin.com

Muscle Sugar: Train Low and Compete High
January 9, 2011
Muscles use carbohydrates, fats and proteins for energy. You can improve both endurance and speed in athletic competitions lasting more than a couple hours by training your muscles to burn more sugar and less protein and fat during competition.
The most efficient fuel for muscles during exercise is carbohydrates (sugar). The limiting factor for how fast you can move is the time it takes to move oxygen into muscles. Since sugar requires less oxygen than protein or fat, you move faster when your muscles burn primarily sugar. How far you can run, cycle, ski, or skate depends on how much sugar you can store in your muscles before you start exercising and how long you can keep the extra sugar there. When muscles run out of their stored sugar, muscles hurt and you feel tired.
Advantages of Training on Depleted Glycogen
You can teach your muscles to burn more sugar and less fat by starting some of your workouts with muscles that are low in their stored sugar, called glycogen. This forces muscles to burn a higher percentage of fat. However, muscles move faster when they use sugar for fuel, so they try to burn more sugar. They increase the concentration of the many enzymes that help to convert sugar to energy. This allows muscles to burn a higher percentage of sugar during competition so athletes can go faster and improve their chances of winning.
Ways to Deplete Muscle Glycogen
You can start your workouts with low muscle glycogen by: *training after skipping breakfast; *training twice a day, so your muscles have low stored sugar during your second workout of the day; *restricting carbohydrates in your diet during training; *taking prolonged workouts that empty your muscles of stored sugar, or *withholding carbohydrates after a hard workout. The key is to train with low amounts of stored muscle sugar and race with muscles full of stored sugar (Exercise and Sports Science Reviews, October 2010).
How to Increase Sugar-burning Enzymes in Muscles
You can't start all your training workouts with low muscle sugar because it will slow you down, reduce the amount of miles you can do in training, and increase your chances of injuring yourself.
Knowledgeable athletes train by stressing and recovering. They take a hard workout on one day, feel sore on the next, and then take easier workouts until the soreness disappears. They do very intense workouts up to three times a week, rarely on consecutive days. These intense workouts should be taken with muscles full of sugar, so you should eat before your intense workouts and even take sugar during the workout.
However, on your four recovery days, try starting your workouts without eating breakfast. If you feel excess fatigue, your muscles hurt or you have little energy, shorten your workouts and immediately eat extra carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and even whole grain bread or pasta.
If you find that you are fatigued too often and take too long to recover from workouts, abandon this training technique. It is not for you. You probably have to take in a lot of sugar during training just to keep up the intensity and volume of work that is required to be a competitive athlete.
What to Do Before Competition
Hundreds of research papers show that you can increase endurance and intensity in competition by filling your muscles with sugar before you compete and then taking sugar during competition. Athletes in endurance events should cut back on their training three days before major competitions and eat extra carbohydrates. This fills their muscles with extra sugar. They should eat a high-carbohydrate breakfast and take sugar during the competition to keep up a regular sugar supply for their muscles. www.drmirkin.com
