Seven hotels that top our list, from the latest openings to the classics.
Cape Grace: Located on a private quay, Cape Grace is a magnet for Hollywood royalty (Ryan Reynolds and Beyoncé have both been spotted here). Rooms are done up with whimsical chandeliers made from dangling delft saucers, botanical prints, and traditionally forged iron lamps. $$$$
Ellerman House: You'll find plenty of discreet charm at this Edwardian, mountainside retreat overlooking the Atlantic. The main mansion has stark-white balustrades and sweeping patios that look out onto terraced gardens. Take a tour of the hotel's art gallery, built into the bluff. $$$$
Kensington Place: In-the-know travelers love this eight-room town house in the foothills of Table Mountain. The interiors are ultracontemporary (white-on-white bedding; slick leather couches; hot-pink pillows), with tasteful accents such as original South African artwork. $$
Mount Nelson Hotel: The 1899 colonial-style structure is showing its age, but a recent renovation has given the storied hotel new life: updated Oasis wing rooms are decked out in plush red sofas and paintings by local artists, while chef-led tours bring guests to the coastline to forage for the night's dinner. $$$
One&Only Cape Town: The postcard-perfect views of Table Mountain and Adam Tihany–designed rooms (bright geometric textiles; parquet flooring; freestanding soaking tubs) have made this V&A Waterfront hotel a new favorite. $$$$
Taj Cape Town: You can't get more central than the Taj, just steps from Parliament and St. George's Cathedral. Inside, old meets new: elegant Heritage rooms—tufted headboards; original mullioned windows—in two restored landmark buildings offset the more modern Tower wing, with floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies. $$
Villa Zest Boutique Hotel: It's all about the 1970's at this new Bauhaus-inspired building in leafy Green Point: vintage Polaroid cameras and Panasonic Toot-a-Loop radios line the hallways, while rooms are decorated in mod egg chairs and shag rugs. $$
Hotel Pricing Key
$ Less than $200
$$ $200 to $350
$$$ $350 to $500
$$$$ $500 to $1,000
$$$$$ More than $1,000

Everything's Adapted: Turning the Book Into a Movie Into a TV Show Into a Movie
Movie News By Scott Beggs on August 19, 2013 | Comments (3)Three things have happened this month that really solidify our culture of cannibalizing art in one form and spitting it out into another. First, Connie Britton announced that Peter Berg had given her the finished script for a Friday Night Lights movie. Another one. That means that in its life as a story, a real life situation spawned a book which became a movie which became a TV show which could potentially become a movie again. That Berg is involved at every step only adds to the confusion, but the ultimate take-away here is just how malleable pieces of art are. So malleable that they can be squeezed into a different medium within a certain boundary of practicality ("Friday Night Lights: The Painting" seems like a stretch). This one story now exists in several different forms. Second, Patrick Healy over at the New York Times shrewdly broke down why Hollywood studios are turning their most iconic pictures into Broadway productions. Third, director David Lowery and company announced a graphic novel version of Ain't Them Bodies Saints. That's more of a surprising cherry on top than a complete culture-defining sundae (the most delicious kind), but it's at least a little bit funny that an intimate Sundance drama is getting its own comic book. More and more it feels like everything's adapted.
Culture Warrior: Men in Tight Spots
Culture Warrior By Scott Beggs on November 9, 2010 | Comments (1)Editor's Note: Normally it's Landon Palmer hustling your brain through the mental gymnastics of popular culture and film theory, but he's grading papers or something, so Cole Abaius is taking the reigns to drop kick your mind (instead of completely blowing it). Check back next week for the brilliance if you survive the completely adequate. It's dark. Not the kind of dark where you strain to make out figures in the near distance or the kind of dark that sends a thrill through you in a movie theater. It's the kind of darkness that your eyes never adjust to because there's no light, and there never will be. I'm at the bottom of a cave near the small town of Bustamante, Mexico, and after passing graffiti from the 19th century, my friends and I have all decided to turn off our headlamps before heading into the grand hall. With the lights gone, the cool of the room becomes more tangible, and the walls begin to creep inward. Fortunately, this seems to be the latest trend in movie-making: shoving someone into the solitary confinement of life threatening danger, and seeing if they can work their way out.
Universal Hires Victoria's Secret Model to Sink Your 'Battleship'
Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on August 17, 2010 | Comments (5)Finally, after months and months of waiting for the next fad in Hollywood, it's finally emerged: casting women who look hot in their underwear professionally as stars of action films. Apparently flipping through a Victoria's Secret catalog is easier than combing through head shots. Or whatever they're doing gives a new meaning to the term "head shots." Or some other tasteless joke. The point is that Brooklyn Decker has been cast in Universal's big budget toy movie Battleship – in which a US Naval fleet has to defend the world from aliens…just like in the classic game! Decker is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and has done shoots for Victoria's Secret. Clearly, she's good at what she does, but whether that will translate to the big screen when she has to move around and talk has yet to be seen. Keep your fingers crossed for the next announcement of a model turning actress so we can all rejoice in Michael Bay creating yet another trend in film. And for those who feel we're blatantly chauvinistic for using that particular photograph of Decker – it was the most discrete we could find. [Latino Review]
Why Studios Have to Overload Movies with Stars
Features By Scott Beggs on June 25, 2010 | Comments (4)Last night, my fiancee and I were walking into a screening of Grown Ups when we were bombarded by what might be the largest advertising lobby cutout we've ever seen. It was for The Expendables, and it's awe-inspiring with slightly-larger-than-life cardboard version of Stallone, Li, Statham, Rourke, Willis, Lundgren, and Austin. Seven big men all towering over and silently inviting us to come see them kick ass.
Commentary Track: Three Trends Poisoning Hollywood for True Movie Lovers
Features By J. Dean on February 17, 2009 | Comments (40)Julian Shapiro gets angry and pinpoints exactly what's destroying Hollywood – and Hollywood's million-dollar potential for success – for audiences everywhere. And you won't like him when he's angry.
My Kid Could've Drawn That Movie Poster: A Disturbing Hollywood Trend
By Josh Radde on October 15, 2008 | Comments (16)We've noticed a sudden drop in actual humans in movie posters. Are studios on the verge of sticking with a new trend in one sheets?
Since we're primarily a film criticism website, we decided to write an editorial on why film critics are obsolete. Daring? Groundbreaking? Iconoclastic? Our vote is for Ridiculously Foolish.
Last Friday, Lisa Schwarzbaum of "Entertainment Weekly", unleashed onto the world a brilliant thesis noting that romantic comedies are back, men are getting more sensitive, and asking the question: Are movie guys the new girls? Today, we here at FSR offer an answer: No.
I am sick and tired of this current trend of movie posters. Everyone complains about the repetitive nature of films these days, and the remake trend, and this and that – but it's worse than even you know.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is HARLEY- ADOPTION PENDING!
Facts about HARLEY- ADOPTION PENDING
- Breed: Brussels Griffon
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
HARLEY- ADOPTION PENDING's Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Happy Harley - Burneyville, OK
Brussels Griffon
Size: Small
Age: Adult
Sex: Male
If you are interested in adopting, please go to www.abgra.org and submit an adoption application. If you have any questions, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Happy Harley is a sweet, friendly, interactive little boy that gets along with everyone, canine and human alike! He is rather camera shy, but is happy all the time and very focused on his people. He is a smart too and is working on his house training and leash training. Harley just wants to please you! He would love a home with a securely fenced yard and especially where he can be with his people most of the time. He would prefer no young children or large dogs, but he should do just fine with older dog savvy children and would enjoy other small dog playmates.
He was born 11/18/07 and weighs about 10 lbs. He is neutered, up to date with vaccinations, heart worm negative, on preventative and micro chipped. Happy Harley is ready for his forever home!
We prefer to place Harley within driving distance of Burneyville, Oklahoma, where he is being fostered. However, if someone from outside the local area is approved for adoption, they must fly in to get him and he must fly home in the cabin with his new family. Under no circumstances can our dogs ever be shipped in cargo, and we do not place our dogs in homes with invisible (electric) fencing.
Other Pets at American Brussels Griffon Rescue Alliance Inc. - OK
Why Adoption is a Great Option
HARLEY- ADOPTION PENDING, a Burneyville Brussels Griffon dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Brussels Griffon for sale in Burneyville, or seeking a Brussels Griffon dog from a breeder in Burneyville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Burneyville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Burneyville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Brussels Griffon breeders who help with Brussels Griffon rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Burneyville paves the way for another one to be saved.

If you watch the haunted mansion movie, you will notice the chairs in the dining room . Then you will also see that the exact same chair is used in the POTC ride (WDW and DL I think) at the final scene with Jack rocking in it. Also, I have heard that the same chair is also in the attic at DL HM, and possibly the WDW HM as well, since the refurb. Can anyone confirm this or *gasp* post pictures?
Also, are these the same ones that were used in the movie, or are they replicas?
p.s. If someone could tell me what they did with the old WDW HM bride, I will love you forever. Seriously.

At The Butcher Shoppe, handcrafting sausage and sculpting fresh cuts of meat is a family legacy. Owner Kevin Green and his son Jordan will tell you that serving as a local expert on meat is not just a job; it's a way of life. When the father-son team welcomed Troy Moon of the Pensacola News Journal into their store, Jordan showed off his extensive beef knowledge, knife skills, and the tattoo on his arm, which depicts a snarling steak holding a butcher's knife in each hand. When asked how long he planned to work for his dad, the ambitious and dedicated youth replied, "Hopefully until he either gives up this one to me, or we open another one." Given their talent and close connection with their customers, that may not be a bad idea.
In addition to prime, certified Angus and choice beef, the duo showcases specialty items such as bison and alligator, providing a "how-to" cooking guide with each cut in order to ensure the best flavor. They also turn their patrons' wild game into sausage—adding hot Cajun spices, maple, or sage for an extra kick—and handpick marinades and barbecue sauces that are ideal for slathering on grilled meats or making slip 'n' slide journeys more flavorful.
Dave Bohannon had a simple idea for a restaurant: he wanted to open one by the water and craft a concise menu of uncomplicated, but immaculately prepared dishes. With this vision in mind, he and his wife Alice opened Surf Burger. She honed its decor with help from local artists, creating an interior where old beach-themed paintings line the walls and surf movies play against a soundtrack of island music. Not only do the couple and their children leave their mark on the eatery's menu and interior decor, but on its guests, as well. They often venture from their respective posts to eat, chat, and get matching tattoos with diners, forging a sense of community and transforming one-time visitors into loyal regulars.
They bolster this friendly, low-key atmosphere with casual dishes such as burgers, chili dogs, and fish tacos, as well as sweet-potato fries and quarter-pound Cajun sausages inspired by down-home southern recipes. At a full-service bar, servers pour draft beers and blend frosty tropical cocktails, which arrive before customers seated in the beachy dining room or on the outdoor, dog-friendly deck.
Armed with just a single, generations-old cookie recipe, Great American Cookies opened its first store in 1977, and the rest is history. Today, the franchise boasts locations in malls across the country and nabbed a coveted spot on Entrepreneur magazine?s 2012 list of Top 500 Franchises in the baked-goods category. The shop?s reputation grew, and so did its menu as chefs churned out a mouthwatering roster of gourmet-cookie recipes, each created and carefully tested in Atlanta. The tempting options now include snickerdoodle, peanut butter with M&M?s, and chewy pecan supreme, as well as freshly baked fudge and cheesecake brownies and cookie sandwiches stuffed with frosting. The real showstoppers, however, are the giant chocolate-chip cookie cakes, which can be customized with sweet, celebratory messages or shopping lists penned in colorful icing.
Near the bustling intersection of North Davis Highway and Olive Road lies a tranquil temple. It's not an Egyptian ruin or a place of worship but a shrine to eastern Asian cookery. Inside, brothers Irwan and Christopher Wong whorl squid, smelt roe, and escolar into made-to-order sushi rolls and craft Chinese classics such as orange chicken and kung pao pork without MSG. Diners can gather at tables trimmed with fresh flowers or pull up to a plant-lined sushi bar, which doubles as a stage for sparring samurai and geisha dolls. Here, the Wongs embellish Amazon rolls with fresh avocadoes and dot grilled chicken rolls with eel sauce and sesame seeds. On-the-go diners can retrieve takeout at the handy drive-thru window rather than having servers shot-put it through the front door.
Sunny yellow walls and park benches frame the entryway of CJ's Kitchen & Grille, giving the cozy eatery the feel of a small, Southern town. Inside, baskets of fried fish and gulf shrimp, and platters of smothered pork chops and country-fried steak keep the Southern ambiance alive. A friendly wait staff shuffles fresh-made breakfast, lunch, and dinner fare from table to table, sating appetites with crab cakes, housemade tartar sauce, and hush puppies. Early-rising taste buds awaken from dreams about licking the surface of the moon to devour eggs paired with hash browns, grits, and andouille sausage, or to dive into homemade french toast made from Gambino's New Orleans' french bread.
Chefs roll fresh salmon, scallops, and barbecued eel into sushi behind Fuji's open-air bar and send elegant platters to diners watching every slice or parties gathered in private rooms. Teriyaki-chicken or shrimp-tempura bento boxes arrive filled with neat portions of dumplings and crab rangoons to ensure that meals remain perfectly organized on the trip to the stomach. Pork or chicken cutlets are breaded and fried in the tonkatsu style, and udon or soba noodles tangle with stir-fried vegetables and fish cakes. Hibachi chefs sear filet mignon, chicken, or lobster tails to perfection to complement glasses of Japanese beer, sake, or jasmine tea from the beverage list.

Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) has decided that Congress needs to know more about the National Football League's decision to suspend Sean Payton, Greg Williams and Mickey Loomis following an investigation of the claims New Orleans Saints' players and coaches set up a bounty system to try and knockout opposing players.
Williams, who was hired as the St. Louis Rams defensive coordinator, is serving an indefinite suspension, Saints head coach Payton starts a one year suspension on April 1, Loomis, and the Saints' General Manager has been suspended for eight games although it isn't exactly clear what that means. Does it mean he cannot work the first eight games of the 2012 season but can prepare his team through April's draft, the Saints Organized Team Activities and training camp? Another assistant coach will be sidelined for six weeks. Joe Vitt cannot be around for the first six games of the season. None of the NFL convicted coaches/managers will be paid during their sentences.
So far no players have been suspended. That could come soon. There is no hint of criminal charges coming either. The NFL has been fortunate to avoid that, unlike the National Hockey League which has seen a number of players face court proceeding because of violent actions during games.
Senator Durbin wants answers, but the Illinois lawmaker is not limited to the scope of his hearing to just National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell. He plans to have Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, National Basketball Association Commissioner David Stern and National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman also explain how their leagues operate. Bettman's environment, hockey, has had experience with bounties in the lower minor leagues and a bounty was immortalized in the movie Slap Shot in the 1970s, a film that remains a cult favorite three and a half decades later.
Just why is Congress involved?
Because the National Football League and every big time professional sport and collegiate programs owe a great deal of their success to federal legislation. The NFL has benefited from the passage of four bills, the 1961 Sports Broadcast Act, the 1966 American Football League, National Football League merger, the 1984 cable television rules revisions and the 1986 tax code revisions. All four pieces of legislation gave NFL owners business breaks, which enabled them to grow the NFL from a third rate mom and pop sports operation in the 1950s to a business that generates billions in revenues today.
Goodell and NFL owners have managed to keep the business off of Capitol Hill for the most part. In 2007, the United States Senate pressured the league into moving the Saturday final season finale for the undefeated New England Patriots and the New York Giants from the NFL Network to a variety of television outlets after there was a storm of protest that the Patriots-Giants game was not available to the widest audience possible as the NFL Network didn't have a full scale cable TV penetration due to distribution problems and that only the New York and Boston markets were legally permitted to show the game on over-the-air TV.
Some Senators screamed, huffed and puffed and the NFL capitulated. Sports leagues generally give into the wishes of Congress and why not? Major League Baseball still enjoys some benefits from the 1922 Supreme Court of the United States decision that baseball was a game not an interstate business. Although most of that protection was swept away over the years, there still is enough leftover that gives the owners business advantages that no other sport enjoys. Major League Baseball can keep Oakland A's owner Lew Wolff out of San Jose and pretty much can protect the New York Mets and New York Yankees owners from competition from a third team in the New York area by simply saying "no" to a third New York City area franchise.
Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association came up with new rules for players who failed their performance enhancing drugs testing. Congress apparently doesn't like cheaters although the Solons of Washington haven't pushed for athletes arrests for using banned substances even though Congress set up laws that made possession of steroids without a physician's authorization illegal.
The legislation was signed into law by President George H. W. Bush.
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, a man who was once considered a rising star nationally in the Republican Party, wasn't too happy with the Saints activities and the suspensions. Jindal is hoping that the NFL investigates other teams if there are rumors and allegations about a bounty program, but the governor remains a Saints fan and claims that the football team brings a lot of "pride" to the state.
The NFL New Orleans franchise should bring something to Jindal's state. In 2001, Louisiana Governor Mike Foster handed Tom Benson a $186 million thank you – a direct cash giveaway to the Saints' owner over a nine year span to make sure Benson was financially competitive with other NFL teams in a market without many Fortune 500 companies. The state also spent enormous amounts of revenue to fix up the Superdome and has given Benson other breaks in lieu of copious amounts of taxpayers' money poured into the team. Jindal recently signed deals with Benson and the National Basketball Association that pours state resources into the teams.
Louisiana Republican David Vitter, a man of questionable character, is not too impressed with the Illinois Democrat Durbin's plan to have a hearing on sports in Vitter's chamber. Senator Vitter has called Durbin's idea "goofy" and thinks the august body should be utilizing its valuable time taking up other issues.
The Louisiana senator is technically correct; there are far more important issues than what goes on during a football game that impact Americans. But Congress created the environment for big time sports and an oversight committee is well within reason to ask questions.
The football industry is based on violence. The CBS television network had a loose affiliation with some of the NFL's 13 teams at the time and teamed up with the NFL to produce "The Violent World of Sam Huff" which was narrated by Walter Cronkite to glamorize football's hard hitting. A year earlier Huff was the first NFL player to appear on the cover of Time Magazine, again with a violence angle.
NFL violence has been sanitized by television networks, sportswriters who are umbilically tied to teams and the league and fans who enjoy a big hit. A bounty system has existed for a long team in the NFL. Hall of Fame member David "Deacon" Jones told stories of the gifts he received from Rams coach George Allen in the 1960s for doing his job well. Allen never "officially" ordered a hit job but there were prizes available like color TVs and stereos in the 1960s.
Hockey seems to still be living off of Toronto Maple Leafs founder Conn Smythe's words of hockey wisdom. "If you can't them out in the alley, you can't beat them here on ice."
Payton, Loomis, Williams and Vitt will be doing NFL time for their part in crimes against the NFL.
In 2005, the members of the Motor City Mechanics United Hockey League team coaching staff were suspended by the league for putting a bounty on a UHL player. Mechanics coach Steve Shannon was suspended for the remainder of the 2004-05 season and assistant John Blum for 10 games for after being accused of offering $200 if one of their players went after the Flint Generals' Kevin Kerr in a Feb. 2 game. Kerr was critical of NHL players who were locked out by NHL owners playing in the very low level United Hockey League and taking away struggling hockey players jobs.
That was the last public discussion of a bounty in sports until the Saints story became public.
The National Hockey League has been involved in a number of legal actions mostly in Canada. The Todd Bertuzzi-Steven Moore civil case will be heard in court in Ontario Civil Court in either September or October. In a February 16, 2004 game between Colorado and Vancouver, Moore hit Vancouver's Mats Naslund in a collision. Moore's shoulder went into Naslund's head which resulted in Naslund receiving a concussion and a bone chip in his elbow. The NHL ruled it was a legal hit, but Vancouver management and players were furious at the play and vowed to get even with Moore. Vancouver's Brad May seemingly put a bounty on Moore.
On March 8, 2004, the Smythe golden rule of "if you can't beat them out in an alley" seemed to kick in. Late in the third period in a Colorado-Vancouver game in Vancouver, someone decided to do something to even the score. Todd Bertuzzi went after Moore, punched him in the back of the head, and fell on top of him, followed by Moore's teammate Andrei Nikolishin and Bertuzzi's teammate Sean Pronger. Moore was knocked out and taken off the ice by a medical staff on a stretcher. Moore suffered three fractured neck vertebrae, facial cuts and a concussion.
On June 24, 2004 Bertuzzi was charged with assault causing bodily harm. On December 22, 2004, Bertuzzi accepted a plea bargain and received 80 hours in community service, a one-year probation and was barred from playing in any game that Steve Moore was scheduled to be in. Moore never played another game, Bertuzzi is still playing hockey.
Moore sued Bertuzzi and May along with the Vancouver Canucks organization. The case was tossed out but re-filed. The NHL was hoping that Bertuzzi and Moore would settle the case before going to court, but that hasn't happened. In 2008, Bertuzzi, who served a 20 game suspension for his attack on Moore, decided to sue his coach Marc Crawford for suggesting that Bertuzzi do something and that he was obligated to do what the coach wanted. But Crawford said he ordered Bertuzzi off the ice and that the player disobeyed him. Bertuzzi was planning to make Crawford a party to his case in the Moore suit but dropped the thought in January.
The Bertuzzi-Moore incident came nearly four years after another Vancouver on ice assault. On Feb. 21, 2000 Boston Bruins player Marty McSorley swung his stick and hit Vancouver player Donald Brashear in the head with three seconds left in the game. McSorley wanted to hit Brashear in the shoulder and start a fight. Brashear fell hitting his head on the ice and was knocked out. McSorley was charged with assault and received 18 months' probation for the incident.
In 1988, Minnesota North Stars player Dino Ciccarelli spent a day in jail after hitting Toronto Maple Leaf defenseman Luke Richardson with his stick. Ciccarelli was also fined $1,000.
On Jan. 4, 1975 in Bloomington, Minnesota, the Boston Bruins Dave Forbes hit Minnesota North Stars player Henry Boucha with the butt end of his stick in the face which broke a bone near Boucha's eye and left the player with blurred vision. On Jan. 17, 1975 a Hennepin County grand jury indicted Forbes and charged him with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon--Forbes hockey stick. Forbes was the first pro athlete in the United States ever prosecuted for an action during a game. The
Forbes-Boucha case went to trail and ended up with a hung jury. The case was never retried.
A year later, a World Hockey Association player was charged with assault and attempt to injury during a fight in a playoff game between Calgary and Quebec in Quebec City on April 11, 1976. Rick Jodzio skated toward Marc Tardif and hit the Quebec player in the face with a stick and then started punching Tardif. The assault left Tardif with a concussion and knocked out a number of teeth. Jodzio entered a guilty plea to a reduced charge of assault causing bodily harm and paid a $3,000 fine.
Jodzio would eventually play in the NHL.
In a pre-season game in September 1969 in Ottawa, Boston's Ted Green and St. Louis's Wayne Maki of the St. Louis Blues started swinging sticks at one another, Maki chopped Green on top of the head fracturing Green's skull. The NHL suspended Maki for 30 days and Green for 13 games. Both were charged with assault and acquitted.
In November 1975, Detroit's Dan Maloney was charged with assault causing bodily harm after he attacked Brian Glennie of the Toronto Maple Leafs from behind. Maloney did not contest the charge and was sentenced to community service work and was unable to play any games in Toronto for two seasons
In 1976, four members of the Philadelphia Flyers Joe Watson, Mel Bridgman, Don Saleski and Bob Kelly were charged with assault after using their hockey sticks as weapons in a playoff game between the Flyers and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Bridgman was acquitted, while the other three players were found guilty of simple assault.
In 1977 Toronto's Tiger Williams was charged with assault after hitting Pittsburgh's Dennis Owchar with his stick. Williams acquitted.
In 1982 Winnipeg's Jimmy Mann punched Pittsburgh's Paul Gardner, breaking Gardner's jaw in two places. Mann was charged with assault by Winnipeg police but was fined $500 and given a suspended sentence.
In April 2011, the NHL's Director of Operations told the Toronto Globe that "we (the NHL) sell violence."
The Ontario and British Columbia governments have done reports on hockey violence, offered suggestions but have not been able to push hockey in any direction in curbing violence.
The NFL has never seen players charged with assault.
Sports leagues don't like the idea of ending up in court and loathe the notion that they have to testify during a standing committee of Congress. Sports leagues constantly reject the notion that players are criminally responsible for activities that occur in the course of a game. If something happens, the leagues not the criminal system should hand out punishment.
Sports, in the opinion of sports industry leaders and participants, should be above the law.
The "it is only a game mentality" has been a good alibi for more than a century but sports is a big business that depends on public subsidies and federal legislation giving the sports almost monopoly type status. The chance that Senator Durbin's review of the NFL-Saints bounty punishment will alter sports is very slim.
It will more than likely be an opportunity for politicians to complain about violence in sports and then everyone will go on their way. Washington Redskins games will remain the "hot-spot" for political operatives and elected officials in the fall and if New Orleans is hurt on the field and isn't as good as the team was in the 2009, 2010 and 2011, too bad.
Senator Durbin probably won't ask about the discarded players who gave their bodies to the NFL and now are on the public dole in the very safety net that some of his colleagues would like to fray, social security and Medicare long before their time. Instead there will be some talk whether the NFL can do anything to prevent bounties in the future and that the other sports beware because Congress is watching your violence level as well.

Paul Smith, L.A.
Los Angeles, CA, 90046, United States
British designer Paul Smith displays clothing with a twist at this hot-pink landmark on Melrose Avenue. Known for his unexpected design touches, the iconic Brit offers men's and women's fashions and lifestyle items in an expansive space divided into boutiques resembling movie sets (a 19th-century Paris apartment and an 18th-century Avignon chateau). The merchandise ranges from clothing to accessories (belts, glasses, and shoes) to even furniture and fabrics, but be prepared to fork over some cash because the designer's items don't come cheap (think printed tees for $80).
Insider Tip:
Check for the German cuckoo clocks hidden behind a wall at the back of the store.

Do you clean with both or do you use only one? I am wondering if perhaps the microfibers have somewhat replaced the magic erasers? I hesitate to use the magic erasers a lot due to uncertain damage they might cause. I think the microfiber cloths are safer in long run. Do you agree? I'd love to hear how you folks feel and how you use each one. Spring cleaning soon so getting things ready! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have tried both and do not like them. The microfiber dish cloths are good because they dry fast, but it takes two hands to unfold them and I don't' like that. You can't shake they out either and I don't like the feel of them on my hands. They will even be half folded when they come out of the dryer. The magic eraser crumbles, they don't work for me at all. |
I have both, but don't use either of them for general cleaning (I'm a steam cleaner and cotton rag kind of gal). Magic Erasers are more of a special needs item. When all else fails, try a Magic Eraser. They dissolve quickly when wet to be of much use for more than a small job, like a mark on a wall or woodwork. They are just one more of life's choices - neither right nor wrong. I prefer 100% cotton. Lots of old toweling available that still has plenty of use left in it. I'm with EmmaR about how microfiber towels feel.... I have a textural issue handling microfiber towels. It flat-out gives me the creeps because it catches on my skin. I had microfiber sheets several years ago, and they only lasted one week, got laundered and were donated to the Goodwill because I couldn't stand the texture. But that not withstanding, I do have a bundle of microfiber towels I got in the car care department and have a few specific uses for them. Microfiber cloths actually have a short life compared to 100% cotton bar mops, old towels, etc., and take too much special care, in my opinion. Because of the fabric make-up, they aren't exactly the best "green" choice, and would have a difficult time breaking down in a landfill quickly, unlike cotton, which breaks down quickly. They stain horribly and rarely look clean, even though they are clean. After numerous washings they lose their effectiveness for drying, and have you noticed how only one side absorbs well? You have to take care not to put them in with other non-microfiber towels or fabrics in the laundry. Shouldn't use fabric softener (sheets, liquid, or detergents that contain softener) or bleach on them; and you must avoid heat (hot dryer) on them (which isn't a problem because I line-dry everything). But if you've ever accidently let one get in with the regular towels, they are never "right". You need to make sure you don't wash or dry them with anything that will give off any kind of threads/fluff because it will stick to microfiber towels and look horrible. The heat from the dryer will cause the microfiber to break down and to develop "pilling" or "balls". Because microfiber towels are designed to attract and hold dirt and dust (as well as moisture), they can also scratch a surface because of those things being held IN the fabric, so something to keep that in mind during use, and clean them regularly. But if none of those issues bother you, like they do me, you'll probably love them. -Grainlady |

Wireless Router setup
is almost the same as a wired router installation a few extra steps. But
those extra steps will secure your data.
Because most of the information you need is on the Router setup page, I will only go into the Security settings on this page.
You need to have a way to keep these people (hackers/crackers/thieves!) from reading your signal and keep them out of your computer and router and doing this wireless router setup will help secure your data. Wireless Router setup:How do you do that? With the security built into your NIC and router.
You would not be googling! Different wireless routers use different names for their properties but they work the same, I have a Linksys router so I will use their names for the properties sheets. Wireless Router setup security:To get the highest encryption level use 'Infrastructure' not 'Ad-Hoc'.
You are set, if someone wants to hack your wireless router setup it will take them a long time. Most hackers give up after a couple of attempts. Now you can carry your laptop any where with in range of the wireless router and have network connectivity. Now that wasn't so hard was it? See ya by the pool! I have over the years as a Systems Admin came into contact with a lot of network devices. Some are good, some are bad, and some are down right ugggllllyyy... I won't dwell on the bad or the ugly (although the ugly should get a mention, maybe on another page...), The good goes like this - of all the Network and home/small business routers, switches, and wireless access points I like the Linksys products. I have not had a failure that was not self induced and I have four products that are over fourteen years old. Like all network devices they run 24/7 and very seldom are powered down. Now you have to be careful with electronic devices when you leave them powered up for long lengths of time the PCB, solder joints, and IC's (see my glossary for what these terms mean if I am baffling you with the 'Geek') expand with heat and never get a chance to contract. So when the device is powered down and cools off the components shrink this shrinkage introduces what is called micro-fracture. A micro fracture is when the contraction of the material cracks. Back in the old days components were larger and the solder joints were thicker so powering down a device didn't fail because of the micro-fractures. The reason I dwell on the Linksys being powered up 24/7 and then were powered off for a week while we went to Seattle on vacation. When we came home I crossed my fingers and powered up the three switches, the wireless access point, and the router. No problems! Now I saw two servers, three switches, and a router go down hard when they were powered off for 48 hours! I am impressed. |
By turning on the option 'infrastructure' and setting the key for WPA, you have increased the security of your wireless network!

Has anyone included a curving staircase into their plans? My builder said that it costs about 3 times more to do one of these(than tradional stairs), and he estimated about $10,000. Does this seem about right? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Wed, Sep 19, 12 at 1:31
I am building a curved staircase. Mine is much smaller scale, so not sure if the pricing would compare. And I imagine geography plays a major factor. But a large portion of the cost for me is the ironwork which must be custom (and my GC has to sub it out). I think if I chose to do wood spindles, it would be a lot less expensive because my GC can do the woodwork himself. The wood stair treads and risers don't cost much more than a regular staircase, except that you have to buy larger pieces to cut them for the curves. |
- Posted by millworkman (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Sep 19, 12 at 7:45
Much more labor intensive as the stringers need to be curved, they entire construction process is different, handling tin the shop, delivering to the site, installing them in your opening, all are more challenging than standard stairs. 3 times the price may even be a little cheap from what I seem to recall. And that is without even getting into the railing which will be custom curved no matter what type you consider. |

NAIAS 2013: Tesla Brings Gullwing Model X to the Detroit Auto Show
Posted By Laura K. Cowan On January 15, 2013 @ 5:18 pm In automotive,Detroit Auto Show,Green Transportation,News | 2 Comments
In true Tesla fashion, this Model X is an updated design prototype, which means there is still a long road ahead before we see a beta version or anything approaching a production car. Ever since test-driving Elon Musk's own original Tesla Roadster [6] in Silicon Valley last year, we have been huge fans of this upstart electric car company. They have had their fair share of bumps along the road, especially in delivering cars in a timely manner, but we look forward to every new model with excitement, and were happy to see MotorTrend name the Tesla Model S their 2013 Car of the Year [7]. Expect (or hope?) to see this car out as a 2015 model.

The CEA is an internationally recognized research organization that benefits from a hybrid engineering and researcher culture that allows synergies between basic research and technological innovation.
The mission of the life sciences division of CEA is to bring technological innovation to two major social issues : energy and health. To develop these research axes, the DSVs teams use a variety of approaches, including the state-of-the-art approaches : biochemistry, structural biology, cell biology, chemistry, protein engineering, "omics", biomedical imaging, animal models and therapies.
The International PhD Program, created by the life sciences division of the CEA is designed for students wishing to make a thesis in one of its research teams. 20 to 25 funding will be awarded during the 2012 recruitment session.
This program, centered around existing groups of excellence and high-tech platforms, works in collaboration with local Doctoral Schools and Universities to offer students a high level doctoral training. Students enrolled in the Doctoral Program of the CEA follow a course in English offered by the Institut National des Sciences et Techniques Nucléaires (INSTN, Saclay) to introduce them to the professional world.
Research groups from the Paris region (Evry, Fontenay-aux-Roses, Orsay and Saclay), Rhône-Alpes (Grenoble), Basse-normandie (Caen), Languedoc-Roussillon (Marcoule), and Provence-Alpes-Côte dAzur (Cadarache) participate in this program.
* SL-DSV-12-0051 Molecular and structural engineering of A and B endothelin receptors: new tools in oncology and animal toxinology
Admission to the Doctoral Program is by competitive entrance examination. Admission is reserved for students of all nationalities currently preparing a Masters degree, master 2 or equivalent diploma that qualifies them for registration to a french Ecole Doctorale.
Every year, CEA grants thesis allowances for high level students that prepare their research work in its laboratories.
In 2011, over 340 thesis contracts (3 years) have been granted that cover the full salary (gross montly wage : 2043.54 during the first two years, 2104.62 the third year).
In addition, 70 thesis contracts have also been granted with the financial participation of an industrial, a research organism or another institutional partner (French region) (see: "Thèses: Financement / Candidatures" on our Website for information on the different types of CEA Thesis Contracts).
Thesis subjects proposed by CEA laboratories and eligible for such grants for the next academic year are posted in the following pages. These are refreshed very often to account for newly proposed thesis positions in CEA laboratories as science and technology progress.

St. Brigid of Ireland Comments
Brigid was probably born at Faughart near Dundalk, Louth, Ireland. Her parents were baptized by St. Patrick, with whom she developed a close friendship. According to legend, her father was Dubhthach, an Irish chieftain of Lienster, and her mother, Brocca, was a slave at his court. Even as a young girl she evinced an interest for a religious life and took the veil in her youth from St. Macaille at Croghan and probably was professed by St. Mel of ... Continue Reading

Dear St. Brigid of Ireland, I so admire you and think that you are blessed to have been surrounded by St.Patrick, St Macaille and St. Mel. Yes, we must be wondering if that is possible for us in this day and age to have the company of such holiness. I do think that Jesus sends holy and saintly people into our lives for us to share the happiness of knowing Christ and His beloved Mother Mary. I used to enjoy sharing Christ with some special people, especially, my mother. And when our time on this passes, we'll continue the communion with the saints in Heaven. Life on earth is passing, but life eternal is the reward of our troubles, toils and travail. Amen.

I am one more who took Brigid for my confirmation name and I don't see my favourite legend either --that she rode out from her father's castle on a fine horse wearing a fabulous cape full of jewels, and when she saw the poverty of the people she tore the jewels out of the cloak and tossed them to the poor. -

Regarding the question of whether St. Brigid is simply a 'christianised' version of the pagan goddess, and therefore fictional or largely fictional: it must be remembered that Brigid's father was a pagan, and it is therefore entirely plausible that he would have named her after a goddess from his own mythology. Brigid received her initital introduction to the faith from her mother, a Christian slave.
Love that she was clearly a strong woman with a strong sense of purpose and calling - a real inspiration to all women (and men) to live lives to please God above all else. -

Saint Brigid, you are one of the many saints that are very close to my heart. You, especially, because my Church is named after you (St. Brigid's Church, Toronto, Canada) and after your historic covenants and teachings. May we, together as two human beings, pray to the Lord in Heaven, and I ask you, with your help, assist us to improve in our daily actions. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.

There is no mention her greatest and most legendary miracle is by legend the lake into beer story (Wikipedia doesn't have it either) . The part I know and remember, involve a wedding running out of liquor and then by a blessing and a prayer the lake they were near is turn it into beer. it makes for a lot cooler story than the one most people know. about the saint. (and for all those who think this is an Irish stereotypes about liquor i am of Irish decent and of age and don't drink)

Investigators searching for missing 12 year-old Fayette County girl
Investigators with the Fayette County Sheriff's Office are currently searching for 12 year-old Isabeth Yanez who was last seen on Dec. 27. Investigators said the Fayette County girl may be with Simon Quintana Guiterrez and the two might be in route to either North Carolina or Mexico.
Det. Ethan Harper said that Yanez was last seen at her home on Dec. 27 and was reported missing at approximately 6 a.m. on Dec. 28. Yanez is a 12 year-old Hispanic female, 5'2" in height and weighing 115 lbs. She has long brown hair and was last seen wearing light colored blue jeans, white shirt and a black jacket.
Harper said Yanez may be in the company of 20 year-old Simon Quintana Guiterrez, of an unknown address, who is likely driving a loaned red 1996 Chevrolet Camaro convertible with a black top. The vehicle should bear Georgia license plate BMH 2049. The two may be headed to North Carolina or to Mexico.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Yanez or Guiterrez is asked to contact Det. Ethan Harper at the Fayette County Sheriff Office at 770-716-4763.
I do hope NCMEC has been contacted.
A lovely 12 year old young lady is missing from our community and we should all be on the lookout for her. Unfortunately the photo included with this story, taken from Isabeth's Facebook page, hides her face in shadow and does not help our citizens with any type of identification. Mr. Nelms, will you please exchange this photo for the school picture being used by the ajc.com, myfoxatlanta.com, cbsatlanta.com, etc. Her school photo is far more reflective of Isabeth's appearance. Thank you.
One would hope by now the girl is home with her family but that is not always the case in these situations.
The 2 previous posts...it astonishes me how judgmental our society has become. Do either of you know this young lady? Do either of you know the circumstances that lead up to this incident? Do either of you realize there is a family out there tonight who are worried sick about their daughter, sister, niece...etc? Before you stand on your pedestal of supremacy, perhaps you should think about the reason for this holiday season and send your prayers out to this family and this young lady. It doesn't matter the reason how she disappeared…that is for the sheriff to figure out…it is up to us as a community to gather around and support her family at this time.
There was no callousness shown to her family.
And some of us don't need to know the 12 year old girl in question to know she shouldn't be "dating" a 20 year old man.
So you surface to comment on something you also know nothing about. Family? What does the article say about that? "Pedestal of Supremacy"? Where do you see anything like that? What a trite phrase that may impress someone but not most of the readers here. I'm sure most posters here are hopeful for her safe recovery, but you just can't dismiss the known facts here. Perhaps the Unknown facts will tell us more about what happened--but I'm guessing you will never know "why".
Let's hear it from all those folks who don't support securing the Southern Border!
what happened to you being a "good Christian" and therefore non-judgmental? Don't you think this family could use some community support and kind words right now, instead of nasty comments from bigots?
You could do with a dose of both memory & smarts--first, nowhere in any of my posts can you find where I claim to be a "good Christian", nowhere! Next, Latino is NOT a Race, but a culture. So do you now wish to proclaim to the public that you support illegal immigration? And you will also note that nowhere did I suggest that the family was here illegally--You read it that way because that's what you wanted to see.
I've seen so many Amber Alerts play out to be a 12 year old Latina and her 20something "boyfriend", that it makes me wonder if it isn't a cultural thing.
It's time to adapt to your adopted culture's social norms that consider 12 year olds children and "date" within your age group.
...there are just as many "nice white girls" who end up meeting creeps on Facebook and then running away with them. I doubt that this has anything to do with the Latin culture. It has more to do with our modern society and all the technology our kids/teens have access to, like Facebook, chat, text, Twitter, etc. Plus, all the junk on cable t.v. - now THAT is disgusting. Have you turned on MTV or VH1 lately? We finally turned cable off in our house for this very reason... it's sickening.
Since you're not offering any help or condolences for this family, why not just shut up? Are you trying to raise kids/teens in your own home right now?
Never had it, or satellite either. I will NEVER pay to watch tv. Ever.
This is someones daughter - grand daughter.
Now is the time for all you phoney baloneys to "pray" for her safe return.

The job outlook for psychologists is growing at 22%. This is because a large number of psychologists are retiring and therefore many new positions are opening up both publically and privately around the country. The median pay for a psychologist is $68,640/year, but with a Master in Psychology, this salary can be greatly increased. By achieving a MA in Psychology, professionals can choose to pursue a doctorate, get into research, or pursue a specified field of psychology aimed at helping individuals and communities become healthier. Here are some things professionals should look for when deciding where to apply or enroll in a Master in Psychology program.
There is a wide range of Master in Psychology specializations available and the niche chosen will greatly impact the career of a professional. Some examples of master's options include Experimental Psychology, Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Social Psychology, and Child Development. Each of these ,aster's are offered as an MA (Masters of Arts) or a MS (Masters of Science). Masters of Science are typically much more research based. Professionals who know they want to go onto earn their PhD may be better off applying directly from undergraduate into a PhD program, however a master's program can work as an in-between step for those unsure whether or not they want to pursue a doctorate.
Research and Publication
Research and faculty publication greatly impacts the notoriety of a university's psychology program. Many esteemed psychologists choose to move into teaching at the university level and are fought over by the best programs. Students and professionals interested in graduate work should take time to read up in some of the most respected psychology publications and look for which universities are yielding research results in studies and fields that are of interest to them.
Depending on if a person opts for a MA or MS in Psychology, curriculum and coursework will vary greatly. In general, all perspective students should look for a graduate program which combines academic training in general psychology with research h in the student's preferred specialization. This balance of theory and hands-on training will help graduates be prepared for the work force whether they choose to work as a resident psychologist in a corporate setting, in a private practice, or in the field of research. Professionals with a MA or MS in Psychology can move into many exciting career fields such as Behavioral Therapist, Psychology Associate, Neuropsychometrist, Health Project Coordinator, and more. Also, MA graduates can enjoy higher salaries than those offered to peers with BAs. For example, a school psychologist can make up to $96,000/year or an Executive Director position in some cases offers up to $144,000 – both positions which require a master's.
The following rankings of the top Master in Psychology programs were determined through an assortment of methods for the most un-bias results including student surveys, assessment of graduate experiences and job placing, and more. Program reputation based on the opinion of experts and peers was also considered.

"Overall, average"
I found the book and it's reading to be of average entertainment. The story line kept me captivated and it was well read.
articulate, original, engaging
"Not up to Patterson standards"
Barely. Storyline is contrived, and the dialogue weak -- or has Jo Nesbo's writing spoiled me??
"Did not Capture my attention"
This did not seem like a James Patterson. The characters were not interesting and the story line slow to develop. I could not connect the pieces. Did not finish the book.
"Patterson does it again - never lets me down"
Really good read
It was really great how the two voices were distinctly different
the only negative comment I have is that for some reason three times during the listening o this book it jumped back to the beginning of the book and refinding my spot was difficult
"once you start it you will not be able th stop"
The twists and turns about the time you think you have the plot understood it adds a new turn.
It did hold my interest . I found myself planing the time to hear a little mose of the book and then not wanting to put it down. When lisiting to a good book and when it is well read it is harder to put down than a paper book for me atleast.
They allowed me to enjoy the book with out feeling guilty that I should be doing something elce instead of reeding.
"Patterson is so tired he needs another ghost write"
This book was so shallow and predictable but yet so completely unrealistic...This was a sophmoric "effort".....
go back to the basic and do his own writing if he hasn't forgotten his inspiration.
Make it realistic
I will not read any more of Patterson etal.....
The entire book was very good compared to some of his more recent books.
Since I enjoy going to movies a lot it kinda scares me to think if they made a movie of this book I wonder if it may cause copy cat crimes.
no answer to this
"Another for Patterson!!! A must read"
Patterson takes the time to lay the bait then hooks you
All of them
All of them
"Not his best work, but entertaining nonetheless"
This is another good book by James Patterson, but not his best work. It was entertaining but was over too quickly.
"Stock and Trade Patterson"
NYPD takes a bit to get started up but it makes. The book spends a lot of time building the characters in the beginning of the book - good news is the pace quickens and keeps wanting to listen.

Commentary: Steele: Regaining balance
By Andrew Steele email@example.com November 27, 2012 12:34PM
Updated: November 27, 2012 12:34PM
One of the main themes of Republican state legislators in recent years has been the idea of "balancing" the source of tax revenue.
That's had a variety of implications, including the mandate that Lake County adopt an income tax — essentially a Republican mandate, whether or not Republicans here want to believe it; the reluctance to embrace governor-elect Mike Pence's call for an income tax cut; and the discomfort with the idea of a gambling arms-race with neighboring states that would accentuate our state's dependence on gambling tax revenue.
That gambling tax revenue is down and under further threat, and that various proposed and enacted tax cuts have the sales tax as the foundation of the tax system, has legislators rethinking the balance among revenues.
On a state level, the good thing that can come from this is a re-linking of taxes to spending. There has developed over the course of time a distinction in the way people and policy-makers look at the two, emplified by the idea that "government must learn to live within its means."
That begs the question of what government's means are. It's too easy to say any spending beyond some arbitrarily determined level of taxation is "waste." Some of it certainly is, and periodic budget-wringing like Gov. Mitch Daniels's can be a good corrective, but at some point everyone needs to take a step back from ideology and simply pay for what we're buying.
My sense is that time has probably come, and whichever canddiate had won the governor's office would be functioning in a much more pragmatic term than the past eight years. Pence will likely market it as a consolidation and continuation of Daniels's accomplishments, but either way the election went, a breather is likely in order.
That will likely apply to education, too, where the new superintendent of public instruction, Glenda Ritz, seems to believe she'll have the power to change some things, but that will likely just be possible in terms of tone and emphasis. Her election, coupled with the election of Pence and a dominantly Republican legislature, indicate a term of letting things settle rather than significant retrenchment.
At the end of all this, the school systems that are struggling (or failing) will probably still be struggling (and failing), while the ones that are succeeding will still be succeeding. The flurry of testing and vouchers and school grades won't impact that much — the success or failure of schools is largely rooted in things that happen outside the school building.
Perhaps the biggest issue in the coming four years will be a county income tax, which seems more likely as county officials exhaust the cutting and borrowing options available. A county income tax, on a local level, may in the end be the most significant Republican victory of the coming four years.

My son is 3 years old and he's all of a sudden starting going through, what I want to call a stage, where, when I fix our meals, he says he's not hungry, he's tired....and he absolutely refuses to eat. I don't HOW many meals that I've thrown into the trash because he hasn't eaten them.
I know that I, myself, was also an extremely picky eater as a child, but at least I ate. There have been days where quite literally ALL he survives on are the Pediasure drinks. I've tried making a "home cooked" meal and he ABSOLUTELY refuses to even try a bite. Even if I put a taste in his mouth, he will turn around and spit it out. I've heard people say to fix "what they like" and I have, but I feel I'm starting to run out of options. That's all I do is cook around what I know he WILL and WON'T eat, but now, for some strange reason, he's not wanting to eat ANYTHING. I'm just about it hit my wit's end and I certainly don't want to be mean and hateful about him eating his meals, but what do I do???? I really need some kind of advice or help??? ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY & GRATEFULLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Take away the Pediasure and don't feed him between meals unless it's a healthy snack at a regular snack time. If he learns that mama won't cater, he'll start eating when the food is there. I have a picky eater also. I've found that if I offer less options and don't cater to him, he eats better and will try new things. He is still a plain food eater, but now I have more options. If he trys to eat what the rest of us have, I go easier on him. If he doesn't eat, he may go hungry for a while. Good luck! |
I agree, get rid of the Pediasure, it's filling him up. It's not necessary, despite the guilt-laden advertising, it should only be used when your child is ill. Just give him small (even tiny) meals. He won't starve. Six meals a day are just as good as three meals a day. Let him graze with a few finger food choices. Give him a hug after he eats, but don't overdo it with either negative or positive reinforcment. Don't make a big deal, he's learning to push your buttons. Mealtime needs to be pleasant, turning it into a battle is one you won't win. Put some food out for him to eat while you are puttering around in the kitchen, but leave him alone. If he eats some, great, if not, he'll eat next time. He won't starve. He'll get hungry and start eating. Don't even allow supplements (Pediasure) into the house, it's taking the place of good nutrition for him. Good luck and enjoy that wonderful boy. |

I'm going to add (after watching my granddaughter), watch what he's drinking at meals, she'll dring all her milk first, then be full...she's filling her stomach up with liquid, and not with nutrition, so they have to limit her milk to after she's eaten 1/2 her supper. vickey-MN |

Try making the food fun to eat. I had a picky eater, so I got her a little apron, and put food in the pockets for her as her afternoon snack. A couple of grapes in one, some Cheerios in another, etc. Someone else suggested using as teh serving plate the baking pan for several muffins. Put just a little of something in the bottom of each muffin cup, and put that on his high chair tray. Slice one or two grapes into quarters, 10 Quaker Puffed rice in another, two rasins in another, etc. Not a whole lot of food so that it is overwhelming, a cooked carrot coin or two, just a taste of good foods only, no sweets. |

Part Used and FormSliced roots
Primary FunctionsHarmonizing. Relieves liver tension and discharges surface heat.
QualitiesBupleurum is one of the most important herbs used in Chinese herbalism. It is a powerful, cold, detoxifying herb. It is not a tonic herb, but it is useful in the tonic system because of its ability to relieve Liver tension and digestive disturbances and because it is detoxifying and anti-microbial. Since it is not a tonic herb, it has the potential to have side effects if not used carefully. The primary side effect is excessive detoxification in too short a period of time. For this reason, Bupleurum should never be used without being combined either with White Peony or Scutellaria, both of which detoxify the blood and eliminate heat. They tend to prevent over-zealous detoxifying. The toxins will be released more or less unnoticed by the bowels and through perspiration and urination. Excessive intake of Bupleurum without the appropriate amount of Scutellaria or Peony sometimes causes a "toxic headache", a common sign of detoxifying. Chinese herbalism does not generally condone detoxifying so rapidly as to cause a headache. Use more Peony or Scutellaria in your formula if you discharge toxins so rapidly that it causes discomfort. A tea of White Peony Root and Licorice Root can rapidly counteract the toxic discharge and its symptoms caused by Bupleurum. The toxins are not reabsorbed, they are simply rerouted out by the proper means.
Bupleurum is the primary herb in dozens of classical formulations which serve a wide variety of harmonizing and decongesting activities. For example, Bupleurum & Dragon Bone, a classical formula, is superb as a Shen stabilizing anti-stress formula. It is used extensively in Japan to reduce tension and anxiety. Bupleurum & Peony and Bupleurum and Tang Kuei Combination are the primary formulations for women who suffer from hormonal imbalances resulting in syndromes such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and menopausal distress. Bupleurum and Cyperus Combination is a powerful digestive regulating formula and Bupleurum & Rehmanniais a powerful detoxifying formula which is especially useful when there is blockage in the lymph glands. A formula known as Minor Bupleurum Combination is the most widely used formula in the Japanese Kampo system of herbalism. Kampo is the government certified Chinese herbal system used by millions of patients in the national health care system of Japan. Minor Bupleurum Combination is used in Kampo for a wide range of problems, including hepatitis B, the flu, liver cancer and more, all approved by the Japanese Health Ministry. A slightly modified version has been shown to block HIV replication and is therefore being tested in Japan for use by HIV infected individuals. Initial studies have proven very favorable (See the discussion of Scutellaria for more about this therapy). It is even more widely used by health conscious people of Japan to prevent flues, especially during the flu season and during recovery from the flu to speed up recovery and to prevent relapses.
Bupleurum has the ability, when combined with other herbs to clear stagnation virtually anywhere in the body. It can be used to relieve blocks, imbalances and tension that cause spasms, muscle tension, lumps, bleeding due to heat and menstrual irregularity. There are many such Bupleurum based formulations, that are vauluable while taking tonics, all of which regulate the body's new abundance of energy allowing it to flow freely and in a balanced manner and for relieving blockages in the body and then discharging the toxins safely out of the system.
The essential oil in Bupleurum is responsible for its ability to relieve surface heat. Bupleurum formulas are extremely useful at the early stages of tonic use in helping to establish radiant health. As time goes by, these formulas become less and less necessary until eventually they only need to be used occasionally, if at all.
Primary CombinationsCombine with:
Varieties and GradingLarger Bupleurum is usually considered to be stronger.
ContraindicationsUse under the care of an herbalist. May cause rapid detoxification with symptoms such as headache and anger. In cases of severe toxicity and improperly balanced Bupleurum administration, skin sores can arise.

FVWM-Crystal 3.0.4: Speed and Transparency
Re:Ultra fast desktop, same old slow applications (180 comments)
I have to completely agree. My gut feeling is that the main cause of this may be the GTK toolkit. It's a great library but they need to concentrate I think on two main things: speed and appearance. It still feels sluggish compared to Windows and it just doesn't look quite right or polished as Windows. Some of the widgets just look awkward no matter what theme engine you use. Don't get me wrong I use Linux most of the time, but in my experience Windows still reigns in speed even compared to OSX. OSX has the appearance down pat but still is slow compared to Windows. It's minor nitpicking I know. Productivity is what counts but it would still be nice to clear these two issues up.
