I grew up in a Texas town I sometimes forget how to pronounce (Pflugerville), and I disappoint people with my lack of a southern drawl.
Observing people is one of my favorite things to do. My creative juices are triggered through watching others and seeing detail most usually overlook.
I love rainy days, when I can sit inside and read, or write, or just listen to the thunder outside.
I love challenges. I set my goals high and take educated risks when accomplishing them. I have a keen sense of awareness. Advertising is something that is ever changing and evolving - something that I seek for and love having in my day-to-day life.

Lone Nut Leadership
June 9, 2010 by: michelle
Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted. A lot has changed since January:
- I've added a few new titles to my repertoire: Curator, Producer, Alchemist, Partner
- I've worked harder, longer hours than ever before – and never been happier
- The number of completely amazing, truly brilliant people in my life has exploded
- I have a new business partner and new business model
- The words "pillow-fight", "flute", and "client" have deep new meanings for me – all underscored with Laughter
I blame Dan Pink and that night at Politics and Prose.
I blame, TED, of course.
But mostly, I blame Patrick Smith.
I'll let Derek Sivers explain.
You see, Patrick Smith has been my Lone Nut. And TEDxPotomac our movement.
It consumed us. It challenged us. It transformed us all.
Even though it was his crazy idea to bring a real TED-like experience to DC, Patrick truly "embraced me as an equal" (hehe, not literally Daniel and Irita) that night at the bookstore, the first of many nights over the last 6 months where we were the last "men" standing – dreaming and scheming over the details and stories to tell on May 20, 2010.
It's no wonder I couldn't wait to invite others to follow along. As a result, I think, TEDxPotomac was more than a single event within the larger TED and TEDx movement, it has become a movement in itself. One whose momentum continues to pull me forward – with laughter and smiles so big my face hurts. Seriously, just look at those grins.
So Patrick, my friend, my Leader, my Lone Nut, what's NExt?
I'll follow you anywhere, and Jill's coming along for the whole ride next time. Unless, of course, one of us is driving.
Pink v Foreman: The Thrilla' or the Grilla'
January 6, 2010 by: michelle
Leave it to Dan Pink to get me back in the swing of things here. I knew I'd be writing about Dan and his new book Drive today, because I saw him talking about it yesterday at Politics and Prose. If I had any doubts or thoughts of dropping the ball, he was on NPR this morning reminding me of yesterday's plans.
Ironically, I heard the interview as sort of a driveway moment while pulling in to the ModernTimes Coffeehouse, P&P's in-store cafe. (It's kind of a neighborhood hang-out and lately my double-secret satellite lair.)
I've been a fan of Dan Pink's for a long time, since first reading the Free Agent Nation article in FastCompany magazine twelve years ago before it became his first book.
I became a rabid fan when he came back several years later with A Whole New Mind.
And I began truly foaming at the mouth when his release of Johny Bunko coincided with the completion of the design work here for yours truly – TBD – in the spring of 2008. I mean, seriously, it's a business/career book – in manga!
What I couldn't imagine is what other superhero of mine I'd be writing about today. I mean, who could possibly give Dan Pink a run around the rink while I think?
George, freaking, Foreman, that's who!
My NPR/drive time/important lesson constellations were well aligned today, and I caught this interview with the former heavy-weight champion about his new book – Knockout Entrepreneur.
Although I haven't read either of these books yet, the similarities between the two are interesting and exciting, especially when looking at what Pink refers to as one of the key ingredients to drive – "purpose," and whether – or not – money is a good motivator.
Here's an excerpt from the Foreman interview:
MARTIN: … Number one, you say money matters but not much. You say don't let making money be your only motivation. I know it may be difficult to believe but money is not the best motivator for most people. If you find a product or service that will simply make money for you, you can pay the mortgage this month, but that will never be enough to motivate you to outstanding success.
Well, tell me a little bit more about that because it sounds to me though that the money was pretty important to you.
Mr. FOREMAN: Money is a good thing but every morning you have to get up with something no one else in the world gets up with, that's that image. That face you see in the mirror, you got to love it and you better do some things that you feel good about inside of you. Of course, money is going to come, but make certain that you do some good with it.
I almost forgot about that and dropped the baton because with all of the millions I made the first time around as the heavyweight champ of the world, I had a swimming pool, Rolls Royce, Mercedes, you name the foolishness – I mean the successiveness. But I had all these things but I didn't have anything to show that I had treated mankind the way mankind had treated me.
The second time around, I even went back into boxing because I had a youth center my brother Roy and I started in Houston, Texas, just for kids to hang out and stay out of trouble. And I'd literally run out of money and I had to go back into boxing for debt. I risked my life and for that I was given the gift of stamina and endurance.
When I was younger I got tired in the fight with Muhammad Ali in Africa and I lost because I got tired. But once you have a reason and something to fight for, you are gifted with this thing called endurance and stamina when you're fighting for more than just yourself and money.
And here's a view into what Dan Pink is saying about carrots and sticks and how most of the time businesses should throw them out because they just don't work like we think they do.
I think it's kickass kismet that these two guys are both fighting the good fight for making the world a better place, and I think Dan Pink should be glad they're fighting on the same team.
Stoking the Fire
November 6, 2009 by: michelle
Over the last few posts I'm sure you could see the bite from the Entrepreneurial bug – though no radioactive spider – has been working its transformative power. By the end of September, as the impending battle with HiringFreeze and LayOff seemed each day closer and more menacing, I simply couldn't resist the opportunity to sharpen my own super-networking and entrepreneurial powers by attending Network Solution's Grow Smart Business Conference.
What an amazing day! If my super-boots hadn't been holding them on, I'm sure my super-socks would have been knocked right off. I was so impressed by the program line up and the organization and presentation by the hotel. For the first time in many years, it felt like the "good ol' days" in the online world.
When I arrived at registration and was invited to stop down the hall for breakfast before the conference began, I was expecting the usual dregs of the half-bagle and stale croissant plate and warmed over coffee. Imagine my surprise – and delight – to find a beautiful full buffet with eggs, bacon, gorgeous pastries, plenty of fresh fruit- and full table service.
And check out this beautiful table at the break – no generic granola bars here: instead mixed nuts, dried fruit, and plenty of TAZO Earl Grey.
From a customer standpoint I would definitely recommend and attend other events at the Renaissance Marriott. Kudos to the NetSol team for a conference that went above and beyond the expectations of everyone I spoke with.
The deal was well worth the $99 I paid for the event, but you can still catch most of the same goodies and great advice for small businesses and entrepreneurs – minus the delicious breakfast, lunch and snacks for FREE.
Some of my personal favorites -
- - Rohit Barghava: Adding Personality to your Business
- - This amazing panel on integrating traditional marketing with social media - including my brilliant friends: Jill Foster, Joanna Pineda, and Danilo Bogdanovic
- - And, the amazingly energetic and funny presentation on business cards by Steven Fisher
Truly inspiring day. I found myself wishing that I had time to really dedicate myself to my renewed entrepreneurial energies.
Well, you know what theay say…

Boston Militia Women's Football Staff, Somerville, MA, April 13, 2013
The Boston Militia opened the 2013 WFA season with an overwhelming victory over the New York Sharks by a score of 70 – 0.
The Militia won the opening coin toss that ignited the fuse to an explosive night. Whitney Zelee received the opening kickoff and returned the ball 10 yards to the Militia 41 yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Zelee bolting around the right side for a 59 yard touchdown and a 6-0 lead. The extra point kick was no good but the roar of first play started the Militia rumble.
On the night, the Militia scored 11 touchdowns and two 2-point conversions while missing 9 extra point kicks.
The Militia roared to a 34-0 led in the first quarter. Zelee led the team scoring with three touchdowns on runs of 59, 5 and 3 yards and two 2-point conversions. Asia Landrum scored on a 12 yard run and Allison Cahill hit Stacey Tiamfook on a 24 yard TD pass for the other touchdown in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Cahill ran for a 40 TD that gave the Boston team a 40-0 lead. The Militia continued to reload in the quarter and Cahill hit Adrienne Smith with a 74 yard pass and run TD at the 5:15 mark and a 46-0 lead. The defense stepped up again and stopped the Sharks forcing a punt that was blocked and the ball recovered by Nakita Bowman at the NY 7 yard line. Zelee proceeded to bolt into the end zone for the score and a 52-0 lead at the half.
At the 7:59 mark of the third quarter, Zelee took a handoff and ran 54 yards and for her 5th TD and the Militia led 58-0.
Once again the defense of the Militia stopped the Sharks with a 14 yard loss when Bowman and Jessica Cabrera stopped the NY offense and forced a punt attempt. The snap was high and over the head of the punter, who fell on the ball at the eight yard line where the Militia took over on downs. On the first play in this series, Tiamfook exploded 8yards into the end zone for TD and a 64-0 lead at the end of three quarters.
In the fourth quarter, Landrum closed out the scoring for the night on a 25 yard scamper and a final score of 70-0.
The Boston Offensive line was outstanding in this game with excellent blocking by Amanda Alpert, Oshodi Kehinda, Sherese Woodfine, Beth Kaleta and Stephanie Jeffers. The play of the "O" allowed Zelee to gain 193 yards on 15 carries and 5 touchdowns. The pass blocking was instrumental in helping QB Cahill complete 7 of 10 passes for 128 yard and 2 TD's.
The Militia Defense was overwhelming the entire game stopping the New York Sharks offense throughout the night allowing only two first downs from scrimmage. The "D" line combination of Xaymara Saez, Nikita Bowman and Shana Segers lead the charge.
The Militia defense made 7 tackles for losses with Vicky Eddy Bowman making two, Segers, Nikita Payne and Saez had one each. Eddy also had a pass interception. The Militia had 4 fumble recoveries with Briannah Gallo and Bowman picking up two each and Bowman had a blocked punt. Jessica Cabrera lead the team in tackles with 4 followed by Bowman, Eddy, Segers, Chris Thomas, Deirdre Hiort and Jennifer Pirog with three tackles each.
Next up for the Militia is a Division cross over game with the IWFL 2012 Champions Montreal Blitz at the Dilboy Stadium with a 7:30pm kickoff.
The National Anthem for this women's football game a performed by Alex Moccia. Alex has been recording and writing for 9 years. She currently attends Suffolk University for Entrepreneurship but she does not want to loose focus on music though, it is her #1 passion. She has met and worked with some of the best producers in the industry.

Countdown to 'Skyfall': Ten Ways 'Skyfall' Copies Other Bond Movies (But It's Totally Okay)
Countdown to Skyfall By Kevin Carr on November 7, 2012 | Comments (1)After wading through the MGM bankruptcy hiatus, pre-production, principal photography, marketing and release anticipation, the latest James Bond adventure is finally upon us. (If you live outside of the U.S., there's actually a good chance that this wait ended a week or two ago, but we'll let that go.) Skyfall hits theaters early in IMAX on November 8 and then in wide theatrical release on November 9. Now you have a chance to finally see the brand new, completely original Bond. Sort of. One of the great things about Bond movies is they have a certain level of familiarity. If made well, you can expect some common elements that make it feel like a quintessential Bond film. Sure, we all like originality, but you can trust almost any James Bond film to cover familiar territory. Here's a James Bond history lesson and how it relates to the upcoming film.
6 Scenes We Love from the James Bond Films
Features By Christopher Campbell on November 4, 2012 | Comments (1)There are now 23 official James Bond movies, so coming up with only six clips from the entire series for this week's Scenes We Love was difficult. But where do you draw the line? One scene per film is too many, and if I picked all the scenes I truly love the most from the films, it would add up to even more. There would also be an imbalance, with multiple scenes from some films and no scenes from others. There'd be no focus. So, the best and simplest way to do this (in terms of clarity; I reiterate that choosing the clips was not simple) is to pick one scene I love from each of the six actors' run as 007. In making the selections, I had to remind myself, and I should remind you, that these are not meant to be the best scenes or even necessarily my personal favorites. They're simply some scenes that I love that I'd like to spotlight for your pleasure in viewing and discussing. Also, Bond fans are all so different, so it's very likely that some of these scenes that I love might be scenes that you hate. Let me know your own favorite scene — or just a scene you love — from each Bond down below.
Disc Spotlight: 'Bond 50 – Celebrating Five Decades of Bond 007′ (Part One of Two, 1962-1981)
Disc Spotlight By Rob Hunter on October 11, 2012 | Comments (4)James Bond has been outwitting bad guys and bedding the ladies onscreen for half a century, and even as the films' tones, quality and lead actors fluctuated the character of Bond has remained an icon of cinema. Six actors have played him across twenty two films, and there are folks who champion each and every one of them. The key to calling a favorite seems to depend on which ones you saw first and at what age as well as your individual constitution for puns, crazy action sequences, talkative villains and films ending with lifeboats floating at sea. For the record, before digging into this set and watching all 22 films Daniel Craig was my favorite Bond and Casino Royale my favorite Bond movie. But also for the record? I quickly came to realize I had only seen a fraction of the Bond films. One of 2012's biggest and most anticipated Blu-ray sets is Bond 50 which celebrates fifty years of Bond with special feature-filled Blu-rays for each film. Most have already seen HD releases, but the set includes Blu debuts of You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Diamonds are Forever, The Spy Who Loved Me, Octopussy, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights, Goldeneye and Tomorrow Never Dies. The set breaks the 22 films into two halves, twelve from 1962-1981 and ten 1983-2012, each in their own sturdy book. Due to the sheer volume of material this Disc Spotlight will be broken into two halves […]
Know Your Bond: A Guide to the Actors Who Played 007
Countdown to Skyfall By Kevin Carr on September 26, 2012 | Comments (2)Not only are FSR's resident Bond nerds (specifically yours truly and my partner in espionage, Brian Salisbury) gearing up for the release of Skyfall in November, but we are also rubbing our hands together with anticipation of opening our new Bond 50 Blu-ray box sets that came out this week. Since we're in the movie news business, we can watch all 22 of these films, we can chalk up the 40+ hours of movie watching to a full work week. We bet you're feeling an extreme amount of jealousy right now (or an extreme amount of pity for us… not quite sure which). But as we prepare to watch all the James Bond movies again, we'll also reflect upon the different actors who have played James Bond in the past. Here's a quick breakdown of the legendary (and one not-so-legendary) Bond actors over the years. Fortunately, since Daniel Craig has signed on for some additional post-Skyfall movies, this piece should still be relevant for a while, and that's a valuable commodity in the ever-changing world of the Internet.
Daniel Craig is Once, Twice, Five Times Your James Bond
Movie News By Nathan Adams on September 6, 2012 | Comments (8)The James Bond franchise has been going on for so long now that it's started to look like an ever-changing monstrosity of different corporate influences, creative strategies, and leading men. But, in its current star Daniel Craig, its current, grittier creative direction, and its current co-financing deal between Sony Pictures and MGM, this series of spy films has seemed to have found a moment of stability; and a report from Bond-centric site MI6 says that a deal has been struck that will keep that stability going, at least for a little while longer.
It's come to this. The age-old question of who makes the best Bond is tackled by our resident misanthropes – Jorge Sosa and Josh Radde. Which Bond will prevail?
7 Days of 007: The Ten Worst James Bond Moments Ever
Cinematic Listology By Kevin Carr on November 12, 2008 | Comments (37)Is everything about Bond untouchable? It can't be. After 22 movies over close to 50 years, there have been some terrible moments in the legacy of James Bond. There have been some truly awful moments in the long history of James Bond, and here are the ten worst.

Photos: Chris "Birdman" Andersen goodbye even though he's still on Nuggets?
Remember Chris "Birdman" Andersen? He was arguably the most popular member of the Denver Nuggets -- a bigger fave among lotsa fans than even Carmelo Anthony -- during many of the squad's best recent seasons due in part to his larger-than-life personality, celebrated in a photo gallery below. But as the Nugs prepare to play Oklahoma City this evening in a game that could hardly be bigger for their hopes of advancing in the playoffs, the Birdman is missing in action -- so much so that one of Denver's top sports blogs is bidding him adieu while he's still on the team. Big photos below.
"Farewell to Chris Andersen and his Birdman persona," by Denver Stiffs' Nate Timmons, has the sort of retrospective tone we tend to associate with articles about players who've been traded or have decided to retire (like the Broncos' Brian Dawkins). But as Timmons makes clear in his first paragraph, Birdman has been hiding in plain sight:
It appears that Chris Andersen's time as a Denver Nuggets player is drawing to an end. Andersen hasn't appeared in a game since March 25th and hasn't played meaningful minutes since March 15th against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Definitely a fan-favorite, Andersen was as well-known for his Mohawk and tattoos as he was for his dunks and blocks. The last member remaining of the Western Conference Finals team will forever be known as the Birdman and his persona will be missed.
Why has Birdman been forgotten on the bench? The combination of more (and much deserved) playing time for super-rookie Kenneth Faried and his own spotty performances. Arguably his most memorable moment of the season took place in early March, when the San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan hit him in the face with the ball and then dunked on him. See it here:
About a week later, Andersen had what I saw as a terrible game against the Memphis Grizzlies, then didn't even get into a thrilling Nugs victory over the Atlanta Hawks about a week later.
In a comment attached to our post about the Atlanta contest, which was pretty much the last hurrah in Denver for Nene, a reader argued that Birdman had actually looked pretty good versus the Griz. But coach George Karl apparently disagreed, and has kept the Birdman in the doghouse for much of the month and a half since then.
Will Andersen get on the floor tonight, given the minutes he earned against the Thunder last time around? Hard to say. But given the importance of the game, the Nugs will need all the help they can get.
In the meantime, celebrate Andersen (and his ink) with this batch o' photos from the Birdman's Facebook page.
Look at the extras that come with this car.

Compassionate living is making cruelty-free choices that matter to some living being somewhere. Your choices and your wallet matter in a world where consumerism drives everything. The word "vegan-ism" denotes a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude — as far as is possible and practical — all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment.
A Holocaust for Animals: The total number of land based animals killed for meat, eggs and milk in the U.S. this year will reach 10 billion. These farm animals are sentient, complex, and capable of feeling pain, frustration, joy, loneliness, boredom, and contentment. Ten billion individuals will spend their precious lives in the most horrific circumstances and die painful, terrifying deaths so humans can consume their flesh, eat their eggs, or drink their milk. All animals deserve humane treatment, including
those raised for food. Raise your consciousness and help stop this unspeakable suffering.
High Sierra Veggies & Vegans is a place where like minded people can find community together. Not only do we enjoy the empowerment and commeraderie of advocating for animals, we hold pot lucks and take road trips to
Farm Sanctuary
and other great places where animals are being helped. Here, no one scorns and mocks you for being a vegetarian or a vegan. Rather, you are cherished and helped along
the compassionate path.
With outreach such as community potlucks, leafletting and tabling at events and festivals, we educate the public and ease the suffering of millions in addition to greatly helping a planet in peril.

Living a compassionate, healthy and conscious lifestyle in beautiful Lake Tahoe.
Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife by the millions in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billions and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eathing all those animals leads to degernerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and violently, and once a year sends out cards praying for "Peace on Earth."

Don't blame the city — if the Bills want to sell themselves to Southern Ontario and continue a push for regionalization, maybe they should consider spending some money on personnel.
Three games in, the Bills Toronto Series has been an utter failure, but it has nothing to do with Toronto's passion for American football.
44. A Giant defensive collapse
Heading into the 2009 season, the New York Giants were supposed to be the deepest defensive team in football. They were on the verge of getting Osi Umenyiora back and had made a splash in free agency by bringing in the likes of Chris Canty, Rocky Bernard and Michael Boley to bolster the front seven.
Things looked promising at first, as the G-men started 5-0, but then disaster struck.
Saints 48, Giants 27 … Cardinals 24, Giants 17 … Eagles 40, Giants 17 … Chargers 21, Giants 20.
New York went on to give up over 32 points per game over its final 11 affairs, with the loss of starting safety Kenny Phillips and the underperformance of Umenyiora being the biggest factors.
In the end, only the Lions and Rams surrendered more points than the Giants in 2009.
43. Rookie receivers shine
They often say that wide receiver is the toughest position for a rookie to find his legs and adjust to the speed and intensity of the National Football League. But that wasn't the case this year.
Eleven rookie receivers had 500-plus yards through the air this year, compared to just six in 2008 and four in 2007.
And some of these guys played fairly major roles in their offences. You had Austin Collie making big plays for the AFC champion Indianapolis Colts. You had Percy Harvin as a featured target for Brett Favre and the 12-win Vikings. You had Michael Crabtree, who made up for lost time following a lengthy holdout by quickly become San Francisco's top option.
Johnny Knox has probably become the No. 1 guy in Chicago. He made the Pro Bowl (eventually), while Hakeem Nicks busted through to become quite possibly the most reliable target with the Giants.
Jeremy Maclin, Mike Wallace, Kenny Britt and Mohamed Massaquoi had big inaugural seasons, too.
42. Rookie linebackers shine
Same deal for the linebacker position, which might have given us the top three rookies this year (at least in my uneducated opinion) — Brian Cushing (the defensive rookie of the year), James Laurinaitis and Clay Matthews.
Throw in stellar peformances from Brian Orakpo and Rey Maualuga and the NFL certainly doesn't have to worry about its future in terms of star power at the linebacker position.
41. Cribbs becomes a legit franchise player
Most regular football followers already knew Joshua Cribbs was a special player prior to the 2009 season. But in '09, the special-teams ace became the only legitimate "star" on the lowly Cleveland Browns.
There's at least a small push for special teams players to get more credit, particularly in terms of Hall of Fame voting (we've yet to see a special teams guy make it to Canton), and players like Cribbs are helping to strengthen those arguments.
Five years ago, Cribbs, who returned four kicks/punts for touchdowns this year, wouldn't have the same opportunities he's had recently. But the Wildcatization of the game has made it possible for Cleveland to use Cribbs in many unique ways offensively — something that will only continue to become more commonplace.
First they give the city of Toronto the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills, and then they give them the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills. The "home team" has yet to win. The games have yet to be exciting. The crowds have justifiably been boring, uneventful and quiet.

This standard cleansing scrub foams when mixed with water and polishes skin with walnut shell powder. Nut shells aren't as gentle as rounded (synthetic) exfoliating beads or the jojoba beads used in most scrubs, but the thickening agents included help to reduce the potential for this scrub to be too abrasive.
Although the formula does work, it has problems: it contains irritating plant extracts and a lot of fragrance, it's in jar packaging (which isn't hygienic for this type of product), and it's got a ridiculously high price. This doesn't even begin to compete with less expensive options at the drugstore or just a washcloth. For truly impressive results, try exfoliating with a well-formulated AHA or BHA product!
Every so often, your complexion needs a little extra attention to enhance the skin's natural renewal cycle. Nothing does this better than a densely textured, smooth gliding and terrifically energizing facial scrub. Activated with water, the finely ground walnut powder foams up and slips over the skin effortlessly to awaken beautiful glowing skin.

"Facialist to the stars," L.A.'s "number one face man," and "one of Hollywood's hottest facialists" are but a few of the accolades Denmark-born Ole Henriksen has garnered since he first made a name for himself in Los Angeles back in 1974. Henriksen's skin-care philosophy was, and still is, a mix of holistic teachings, common sense, and, as seen in countless other cosmetic lines (though Henriksen was somewhat of a trailblazer when he started), an affinity for Mother Nature and all she has to offer the skin.
We agree with Henriksen's philosophy that feeling good from the inside can manifest itself on the outside, and we applaud the fact that he admonishes his clients for being too hard on themselves when it comes to their complexions. That bromide loses some of its believability, however, when you realize that Henriksen's products are all about fixing the outside of you, especially the parts with wrinkles, puffy eyes, skin discolorations, and on and on.
For example, all the self-confidence in the world won't change the need for sunscreen or change your genetic propensity for certain skin conditions. Clearly, Henriksen believes that, too, because his skin-care products are meant to help his devotees put their best faces forward. He maintains that his products are different because they are "pure," "natural," and "high performance" products—now really, how often have we heard that? Way too many times, and as is often the case, the products aren't pure or all natural in the least. It turns out that Henriksen's products aren't anywhere close to being all natural. Every product is rife with plenty of unnatural ingredients, most of which are used industry-wide. (That doesn't make them bad, but marketing hype and distortion should not be the basis for making decisions about what skin-care products you use.) In essence, the only unique aspect of this line is Henriksen's ability to charm his clients into thinking that his products are in some way unique and worth the money, when they absolutely are not. A quick review of the ingredient label reveals far more problems than is acceptable for anyone's skin.
Stepping away from the marketing aspect, this product line has way too many missteps to make it interesting or beneficial. While it does contain helpful plant extracts and oils, it is certainly not the only line that includes those ingredients. Sadly, the potency, and yes, even the purity, of many of the good plant extracts are compromised due to his tendency to use jar packaging rather than more stable, airtight options (all plant extracts deteriorate when exposed to air or light). And the amount of irritating plant extracts makes some of his products just hurtful for skin.
Perhaps the saddest part is that a so-called skin-care expert can't even get sun protection right. You place all that trust in someone's expertise and they don't even have the basics down! Henriksen's Herbal Day Creme SPF 15 lacks titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone, Mexoryl, or Tinosorb. All the ballyhooed "calming extracts" and "pure botanicals" in the world cannot stave off one wrinkle if your sunscreen lacks sufficient UVA protection. A few of the sunscreens that do provide adequate UVA protection contain skin cell–damaging lavender oil. Sigh. It's not fun when you consistently run into examples in line after line that prove that natural ingredients are not inherently better for skin! Given how many consumers want to use such products, we'd love to offer them some slam-dunk options.
This aesthetician-created line has a few reasonably decent options to consider, but overall the line is not on par with many others. The overwhelming emphasis on "natural skincare" (which, we repeat, this line definitely is not) might sound like it will be good for you, but that is not what you will find here. A company's apparent blindness to the published evidence that many of the natural extracts as well as many of the synthetic ingredients they include are potent skin irritants means you don't want to shop this line through rose-colored glasses.

Because of the scrub pieces and all the fragrance, I cannot believe this received a good rating. I disagree, I think it is poor to average. It is harsh, but a lot of people like these scrubs and this one in particular, just not for me.

Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Sonny - adoption pending!
Facts about Sonny - adoption pending
- Breed: Papillon/Dachshund Mix
- Color: Black - With Brown, Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Sonny - adoption pending's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Sonny is Cher's brother and is approx 18 weeks old at 4-1-13 - and approx 6 lbs, he looks like a mini aussie mix or maybe papillon/doxie mix, he will probably be in the 15-20 lb range when fully grown, he is a typical puppy, loves to run and play with the other dogs, he will need leash and house training
Other Pets at Lexi's Angels
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sonny - adoption pending, a Norwalk Papillon/Dachshund puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Papillon/Dachshund for sale in Norwalk, or seeking a Papillon/Dachshund puppy from a breeder in Norwalk.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Norwalk 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 Norwalk 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 Papillon/Dachshund breeders who help with Papillon/Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Norwalk paves the way for another one to be saved.

The story behind America's most exclusive brotherhood
For 170 years they have met in secret. From out of their initiates come presidents, senators, judges, cabinet secretaries, and plenty of spooks. They are the titans of finance and industry and have now installed a third member as United States President George W. Bush. This intriguing behind-the-scenes look documents Yale's secretive society, the Order of the Skull and Bones, and its prominent members, numbering among them Tafts, Rockefellers, Pillsburys, and Bushes. Far from being a campus fraternity, the society is more concerned with the success of its members in the post-collegiate world.
Included are a verified membership list, rare reprints of original Order materials revealing the interlocking power centers dominated by Bonesmen, and a peek inside the Tomb, their 140-year-old private clubhouse.

More 'Baby Signing Time' Please!,
This review is from: Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (DVD)
I have been signing a handful of words with my 8 month old daughter for about two months now. She's been very attentive when I've been signing, but until we started watching 'Baby Signing Time' she hadn't really attempted any sings on her own...However, we've had the DVD for less than a week and she's already started signing 'milk.' I'm not claiming that this DVD is a miracle...I think my efforts to be consistent with the signing, in combination with her evolving developmental maturity have a lot to do with the fact that she is starting to communicate non-verbally. However, I really think this engaging video has helped. I find this DVD to be very age appropriate and entertaining, as well as educational. The music is upbeat and the songs are catchy. The repetition may be boring for some adults, but for babies repetition is an effective teaching tool...my daughter has plenty of time to hear each word and she gets to see each sign multiple times. I think she really enjoys seeing other babies use the signs she's been watching me use for the past couple of months. Plus, I find it helpful to see a variety of kiddos using the signs, as it gives me an idea of what it might look like when my daughter starts to attempt new signs herself. I also have a three year old who has really enjoyed watching the video with her baby sister...she practices all the signs and is starting to use them when talking with the baby throughout the day, which I think is great. We haven't watched the original series so I am unable to compare the two; but I feel pretty sure that we will be investing in some of those DVDs as our household becomes more sign savvy.

Original Signing Time is MUCH Better,
This review is from: Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (DVD)
We too were so impressed with the original Signing Time that we decided to try this one for our nearly one-year-old baby. While we're not fans of TV for children under two, the first Signing Time was so straight-forward and simple that we were comfortable watching it with our child. It took only a few times of watching it before she was using the signs all the time!
So we were excited when the Baby version came out and ordered the first two volumes. But these are way too "produced" in comparison to the original one, and the cartoon graphics and music are annoying and distracting. We let the baby watch it and she sat like a zombie, which worried us, since she'd been so engaged by the original one. But Baby Signing Time was far less effective in terms of teaching her than the low-budget/realistic original one. If you're looking to start your child on the path to learning ASL, I strongly recommend you stick with the original Signing Time series. The Baby version is just too close to that mindless entertainment junk you find in most children's videos today, which is a real shame, since the original series are so engaging and interactive. I gave this two stars as it's not the worst thing for a baby, but in comparison to the original series, it was very disappointing. Edited to add: It's been a few years since I posted my review. Clearly there are some folks out there who do not feel the same as I do about this series. ;) And that's fine. And when a friend bought us volume 3, we decided what the heck, we'll give it a shot with our youngest. She had the exact same reaction to Baby Signing Time that our eldest did. We tried all three DVDs, thinking maybe it was just a fluke (I know, silly, but there you have it. The naysayers here had me second guessing myself). Nope. She hated the Baby Signing Time DVDs. And our eldest wasn't interested either at that point either ("That's a BABY. I'm not a BABY. Pfft."). So I ended up giving the DVDs away to a friend who learned her infant was deaf. My oldest is now 5 and my youngest is 2-1/2, and both of them still love the original Signing Time (Series One), especially the first three volumes. Which amazes me, because those are by far the least produced looking of all the Signing Time videos. Yes, my girls like eye candy cartoon TV as much as the next kid, and neither of them need to learn ASL technically, but they enjoy the original Signing Time series. They BOTH still enjoy it. And it's educational, which I love! Bottom line is these DVDs are not cheap. If you're going to invest in any, I still recommend going with the original Signing Time series instead of Baby Signing Time, because if for no other reason, than your kids might still want to watch it when they're older. Baby Signing Time doesn't have that same long-lasting value as the original Signing Time. At least it didn't in our house. So while some folks might love Baby Signing Time even more than the original, keep in mind that the original is appealing to both little ones and bigger kids. The baby one may not be. Our kindergartner had forgotten most of the signs until her baby sister started watching Signing Time. My eldest was able to re-learn the signs along with her sister. Totally worth every penny. :)

Not as good as the original Signing Time,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (DVD)
I bought this because my 11-month-old daughter loves Signing Time Volume 1 of the original series and I thought the baby version might be even better for her. I was wrong - she's just not into this one. The original Signing Time (vol. 1) is much simpler and just shows kids in natural environments doing the signs. This baby version has more cartoon content and is much more "high-energy" which seems to turn my daughter off (and is less enjoyable for me as well). This might be great for some babies, but mine prefers the simple, low-tech version.

I wish there were more,
By Statia M. (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (DVD)
We bought this for our son about 5 or 6 months ago. He's now 11 months old. He's an extremely intense and focused baby. Even at a young age. When we popped volume one into the DVD player, we were kind of bummed that he didn't take an interest to it. However after a few times, he was absolutely glued to the TV. He's been watching both volumes one and two for awhile and only makes a few signs (milk, wash hands, ball and we're working on please), but recognizes many others. It's the ONLY thing that will keep his attention. I could bomb the house down around him and he would be sitting in the ruins still glued to the TV. He has a crush on Rachel (the host) and smiles big and silly whenever she appears.
I haven't seen any of the original signing time videos, save for a few clips online) but it seems to me as if there's a divide. If you started watching the original signing time, you may not like these and vice versa. I love the Baby Signing time because it has lots of songs and music (and babies!) to keep his attention. Which is exactly the point. It's for babies. Older babies and children would probably find it boring. We don't let my son watch much TV, occasionally Sesame Street and Baby Signing time, as I think both of them are educational. I also find that the music on signing time, is about the only music on children's programming that doesn't make me want to put a gun to my head. We love to sing the songs to him. The only way I can wash my son's hands after a meal is done, is to sing the "wash hands" song. I would say that this DVD is ideal for kids 6 months to 1 1/2 years of age.

wonderful even if you don't care about signing,
By erica2 (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (DVD)
Frankly, we didn't care about signing before we watched this DVD...but now we're fascinated by it, and our 18 month girl just did the sign for "juice" and we're ecstatic. The thing is, though, this is a very upbeat video with a lot of footage babies find engaging such as of dogs, cats, ocean, bugs, food,, etc. It's an entertaining interesting DVD for any baby and also gives them a sense of their own capabilities and place in the world because all the aforementioned footage is interspersed with shots of very cute babies trying out different signs with varying degrees of success. The mood is very cheerful and Rachel his a terrific guide. The music, which appears to be original, is very good too. BTW, we also got "My BMy Baby Can Talk - First Signs and like it, but not as much as this one.
Update hundreds of viewings later: This is hands down--or up!--the best DVD for babies. Period. As in: there is no DVD our baby enjoys more. We don't particularly care about signing--she just loves it. And we love it too. After having watched it about a gazillion times--by popular demand of our baby--I don't see a single flaw or weak moment in it. It totally shines, has gotten us really interested in signing, and even has greater artistic value: when I view it it gives me a perspective on what it means to be a mother than is hard to come by in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The footage is heartwarming, the music is far above average, Rachel the host is fantastic, the camera work is first-rate. They really have captured some special moments. This DVD is a total winner and I would recommend it for everyone who has a baby. Fifty stars!

Baby Signing Time vs Signing Time,
This review is from: Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (DVD)
We checked both Baby Signing Time & Signing Time out of the library before buying. Our daughter 5 month old at the time seemed to enjoy both. The reason why I would lean toward Signing Time as opposed to Baby Signing Time (BST) is that the latter (BST) uses younger children (toddlers) to demonstrate the signs. The demonstrations therefore aren't as 'exact' so I questionned whether our daughter would really learn the signs...The tunes in BST are catchy though...I found myself humming one of the tunes several days later while on a business trip....Either way, I'm sure you can't go wrong. (we did decide to order the regular signing time dvd)

Best Signing DVD For Kids, Hands Down!,
By Hoop Mama (Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (DVD)
My 23 month old son was diagnosed with mild autism and a speech delay. At 22 months, he was saying about 5 words, and not regularly. His communication was about that of an infant learning to point and fuss for what he wanted. Intellectually he is very bright, so it was frustrating for both of us. I did a lot of research on the best way to help him in his communication, and I found Baby Signing Time. I cannot say enough good about this series!!! My son is communicating! Within the first TWO DAYS of owning the DVD, my son was already signing all of the signs on the DVD. At meal time now he will sign for food or drink instead of crying. He's happier, and it seems to be encouraging him to try new words. While he is imitating signs (which he seems much more comfortable with) he is also occasionally repeating spoken words now too...something he never did! This has been an absolutely huge breakthrough in communication for us. I recommend this to any parents or loved ones of a child with a speech delay. For us, it's just amazing.

Spastic. More hyperactive entertainment than education,

This review is from: Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (DVD)
I bought this after borrowing the original (before it was remade) Signing Time from the library. (Rachel in her red sweater with long hair.) I loved the original Signing Time. It was educational, calm and still entertaining. I got Baby Signing Time thinking it would be similar, but with signs more specific for a baby. But, Baby Signing Time is distracting and spastic. The signs are buried under so much extraneous movement, color, scene-shifts, music, etc, that the video's educational value is questionable.
This is the hyperactive, short-attention-span-encouraging, cutesy stuff that I did not want to expose my child to. I much preferred the low-budget, real people, original Signing Time. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's even possible to get that anymore.

Seems "overproduced",

This review is from: Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (DVD)
I got this after realizing my 13 month old son starting picking up sign language from the Comcast on-demand selection "talking hands." Since the comcast on-demand selections rotate, I wanted to have a sing language DVD at home to make sure we had something in case talking hands went off air. I checked out a few other dvds from the library and chose this one because it seemed the most updated.
The good part of this DVD collection (I got both) is that tells you what words will be taught in each DVD and it's got catchy songs (I find myself getting the songs stuck in my head throughout the day and it's kind of annoying actually - the producers ought to make TV commercials!). The teacher is very animated, almost *too* animated. The bad part of these DVDs is that they rely heavily on cartoons to illustrate the word. For example, for the word "frog" they use a cartoon frog, who for whatever reason, has a diaper on. They show an actual frog for about a second, but its mostly the diaper-wearing frog that is used. I just feel like they ought to use real pictures more - especially for small children. When they go through a review of the animal words, they start with the word bird, then the cartoon bird "flies" into the screens for the other animals, so even if when they are reviewing the word "horse" the bird is still in the picture - confusing! There is insufficient connection between the word and an illustration of the word. They'll show lots of kids signing the word, but then only show a picture of the word very briefly at the end. They should intermix more or use picture in picture. My son seems to "burn out" on Baby Signing Time very quickly. Despite the songs and animation - he gets bored with it after one or two segments. Maybe it's just too busy for him. Frankly, I think the "talking hands" is better, even though it is obviously old, low tech, and the signers are not very animated. The format was far better for learning because it was slower-paced, showed lots of variety, illustrated the word with real pictures, and showed a picture of the word just as much as a sign for the word.

This review is from: Baby Signing Time Volume 1 DVD (DVD)
We have a 10 month old and started working on signing at around 7 months. She is breastfed and I wanted to start teaching her a non-verbal way to ask to nurse so I began using the sign for milk when she nursed. At around 8.5 months old she started signing for milk and I decided perhaps we should begin teaching some more signs. Several friends recommended the Baby Signing Time videos as good resources.
Having seen young children in our extended families who are entranced by TV and are watching several hours per day by the age of 1, we made a conscious decision to sharply limit our kids' exposure to television while young. The only exceptions so far have been old Sesame Street episodes (70s and 80s vintage) and Baby Signing Time. We will turn on the Baby Signing Time DVD a few times a week for about 15 minutes and she really enjoys it. We watch the video with her and sing and do the signs along with Rachel, the host. We also do certain signs throughout the day and I believe that the frequent reinforcement is how she's actually learning the signs - not from watching the video. Realistically we could have used the many free ASL resources online to learn the signs that we're teaching her. That said, she enjoys this DVD a lot. The production values are good and she's a baby who loves music, so the songs are a real hit. I find myself humming the tune to the "More, More, More" song throughout the day! I can't find anything I dislike or find inappropriate about Baby Signing Time and that is a sharp contrast to many of the childrens' shows on TV today. So while it probably isn't teaching her much it is enriching and enjoyable for us to watch the DVD and learn signing together. So far she can sign for "milk" (nursing), "mommy", "daddy", and "more" and we're working on "water" and "food". Edit 12/9/2011: Our daughter's signing vocabulary exploded at around 11-12 months. She can do most of the signs in Baby Signing Time volumes 1 and 2. She usually uses the correct context for each sign and at 16 months is starting to string signs together as well as to say many of the words while signing them. Her speech development is typical of a child her age, but signs give her an additional means of expression. We believe this broader range of communication options helps reduce the frequency and duration of meltdowns and tantrums - we can ask her to use her signs to communicate her needs rather than having to guess. Both at home and at daycare she can let us or her teachers know if she needs a diaper change, if she would like more food to eat, if she needs a drink of water, or if she's tired and needs to rest. Signing is a total win-win for all of us! |

How did York University initially validate the request of a student who said for religious reasons, he couldn't interact with women? Unfortunately, perhaps it is because organizations are so afraid of being sued for failing to accommodate that they have lost the sense of what is a proper request for accommodation. Many would argue that what they have lost is their common sense.
I've worked in a lot of different office environments, both non-profit and for-profit. Some of these places were wonderful, fun, and I was sad to leave. Other workplaces were, quite frankly, toxic. Happy employees are productive employees (to paraphrase Radiohead). So here are some tips to give your staff some love. (Hint: Stressing out your employees is a great way to achieve turn-over and burn-out.)
Bill Clinton at the DNC said what white- and blue-collar workers have known for 30 years: you need to invest in people to have an innovative and productive economy. My coach, used to say "you get corn, if you plant corn." Neither in government nor in business have we been planting corn. We quit planting it almost 30 years ago when we got rid of middle management in government and the private sector, and as the economy reveals, we are losing.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Schonfeldt, Anzel Elizabeth email@example.com URN etd-10292008-170558 Document Title The evaluation of a school-based substance abuse prevention programme Degree Master of Arts Department Psychology Supervisor

Date 2008-09-05 Availability unrestricted Abstract This research report presents the findings of an evaluation of a school-based substance abuse prevention programme presented as part of Project Awareness. The programme was presented as a one-day intervention for grade ten learners in eleven schools in Tshwane. The prevention program taught substance abuse refusal skills, anti-substance norms, personal self-management skills, and general social skills in an effort to provide students with skills and information for resisting substance offers, to decrease motivations to use substances, and decrease vulnerability to substance use social influences. The study evaluated this school-based substance abuse prevention intervention in a sample of learners (N=300) in six of the eleven schools.
Measures were obtained on a behavioural survey to ascertain whether any knowledge, behaviour or attitude change occurred between the pre-intervention and post-intervention phases. In addition, focus group data and observational measures were implemented to determine how the learners experienced the programme and whether the programme was effective in capturing the attention of the learners.
Results indicated that, from learners perceptions of the programme, the intervention seems to have had a positive impact on substance abuse prevention, but not on changing the behaviour of learners already engaging in substance abuse. The results from the behavioural survey indicated some change in learner attitudes to some degree, but not behavioural change. Suggestions for the improvement of the programme were made throughout the report, and the observational measures specifically indicated that the more practical oriented tasks were more efficient in capturing the attention of learners. It is concluded that although the programme certainly had room for improvement, that the programme did indeed address relevant issues. The program also had a direct positive effect on several cognitive, attitudinal, and personality variables believed to play a role in adolescent substance use.

I'm about to buy a food processor, and a big reason is that I hate shredding potatoes by hand for potato pancakes - which my family loves.
I'm considering a Cuisinart, and want to make sure that I get the correct disc. The item comes with a disc called a "shredding disc," and there is another item for sale called a "fine shredding disc." Am I correct in assuming these aren't the same thing? I don't want to spend $35 if they are. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know about the discs, but we have both a food processor and a hand-operated shredder. And we make potato pancakes. Guess what? I'd never bother to hail out the food processor, and then wash how many parts/ Bowl, lid, pusher, blade? when a single grater works as well, less waste, only one hting to wash (not including bowl, but I use a paper towel instead. Why not try some different grating tools first before you pay out big bucks for a processor, if that's all you think you would use it for. Try shopping at all the specialty store, like Williams Sonoma or Sur La Table before you give in. |

I would start with the shredder that comes with it. It should be fine for potato pancakes. Look at the blade in a store and see how the whole compares to the size of the shredding that you do now. I never shred by hand. |
I'm with Fairegold -- if grating potatoes is most of what you will do with the food processor, you're spending a lot of money for the convenience (and I put all the pieces in the dishwasher, which is more convenient than handwashing it all). Try some quality (i.e., not Mal*Wart) graters and see if that works for you. Even if they don't work out for you, it's a much less substantial investment. BTW, on my Cuisinart (old), there are different-sized shredding disks. |
I'm with Jean. I do use my Cuisinart often and do grate potatoes on the grating disc that came with it. When I am done, into the dishwasher it goes. Some of the best homemade potato pancakes I ever had were made by a friend who did the egg, onion and forget what else in the bowl w/ the chopping blade, grated the potato with the grating disc right into the egg/onion mixture and then fried it up. Thanks for this thread--guess what I'll be making for dinner one night this week? Better buy some kielbasa to go with it! |
I vote to grate with the Cuisinart too because this is what I do. I throw the parts in the dishwasher. Use the disk that came with it. If that isn't suitable get the shreding disk, not the fine one. |
I am the "Qwisinart Qween"...I have owed one for well more than 20 years, use it all the time....even now that it's just me eating most of the time....and I have all the discs...1 MM, 2MM, 4MM slicers, Fine shredding, medium shredding and the 3 by 3 juillienne and the 1 by 1 juillienne. For latkes...I use the medium shredding disc that came with the machine....the fine shredder I use for grating hard cheeses and chocolate. It all ( but the motor housing!) goes into the dishwasher....and it makes pie crust, kneads bread, makes slaw in an instant, makes short work of vegetable soup, pesto with little effort, slices semi frozen chicken breasts for stir fry, chops nuts for biscotti, makes onion soup a tear less event... Go for the cuisinart!! Linda C |

All, I'm looking to buy a 11 cup Cusinart food processor, we are a family of 3. Can you tell me if I can use this processor for small quantities. Or if I should be buying a 7 cup one. Can I juillenne vegetables like the way oriental restaurants do? Will appreciate thoughts on above. Maddie |
Sure. I have an 11-cup Cuisinart and it's only me most of the time. It might not do as well with, say, half a cup of chopped nuts or a clove of garlic as a smaller processor, but I don't think a 7-cup would be that much better. As for the julienne question, it sounds like you've never owned a food processor before. One thing you'll learn quickly is that slicing/julienne cutting/etc. is done as the food is fed into the blade, and it is fast. While humans with a knife would have no problem making "more artistic" cuts, the FP lets the chips fall where they may (no pun intended), and the result may well be some less attractive pieces than you would have achieved by hand. I don't know if that matters to you. |
- Posted by Maddie_Maddie (My Page) on Thu, Sep 16, 04 at 13:21
Steve, you are right, never had a FP before. But always like to hv one that can julienne vegetables like oriental restaurants. I'm sure they must be using a FP to do it. I will be using FP mostly for shredding, julienne cutting and slicing. I will also like to know which disc should I use for finely chopping onions. Can anyone tell me what additional discs I should buy with my FP to achieve the above? |
- Posted by Vegasbound (My Page) on Thu, Sep 16, 04 at 14:27
I have an 11 cup one and a mini one. I use the mini one for things like nuts, breadcumbs, and herbs. I use the large one for everything else. I have never julienned vegetables i the FP. I use a mandoine for that. It works pretty fast and you get perfect, beautiful pieces. I would chose a mandoline voer a food processor if what you want to do is mainly juliene vegetables. |
For chopping onions, I use the steel "whirlybird" blade that came standard with my (Cuisinart) FP. I just "pulse" it until I get the fine-ness of cut I want. I have a couple of thin-slicing disks which I use for slicing, say, cabbage for cole slaw, or carrot coins. I also have a disk for julienne cuts. It gets the job done, better on big chunks like potato or turnip; less so on something like carrots, which end up getting fed into the blade unevenly. No matter how I try, the results look less than optimal. It's either waste a lot of raw material or cut it by hand. For the volumes I need, cutting by hand is a better solution for me. |
Hubby loves potato pancakes and also cole slaw & carrot salad. I used my Cuisinart for 25 years, nearly every night, for shredding and it was great. After it broke, I ended up replacing it with a KitchenAid FP, which I also love. It is an 11-cup model AND features a mini-processor inside of the regular one. So, unlike Cuisinart, which would require that you purchase a separate machine for mini-size work, such as chopping garlic and the like, mine was an all-in-one deal. It is hard to describe, so you should do a Google search and take a look at some pics. We have been very happy with it and like the others, I use it and then throw it in the DW. L |
I can't imagine why you would need a mini processor....mini amounts work well in my 11 cup model. To julienne veggies for stir fry.....say carrots....you cut the carrots in lengths that will lay sideways in the feed tube ( I mostly use the 2 MM slicing disc for this....but the 4 mm works well too) and slice them int othe bowl. Then ramove the slices from the bowl and stack them on end in the feed tube and run through again....and you have lovely juillenne strips....much better than with the juillienne discs....which I find work best on potatoes for fries. Linda C |
We use our mini way more than the big one. We do a lot of biryanis and I make my own garam masala. For spice pastes in less than 1 cup amounts, I find the mini works way better. Don't have to open it up and stir things around - and I don't want it over pureed. It rinses out under the faucet in a couple of seconds, and is by far our most used chopping tool. Just this morning I diced shallots for omelet and then DH did garlic for his omelet. Etc. Just the awkwardness of wielding the big bowl has made us avoid it... |
I would not have bought a separate mini FP, since doing small amounts is easy by hand and does not dirty up an entire FP, but we have a mini, since it came with the KA FP. I do like it because it is like having two in one, since it fits inside of the larger bowl. In the large bowl, for example, I can make batter for coffee cake and then in the smaller top/mini bowl, can make the crumb topping (flour, butter, cinnamon, and walnuts). At the end, both go in the DW. Lynne |

I LOVE my 11c KitchenAid food processor and my KA 3c Chef's Chopper. When comparing the KA 11c with the Cuisinart (similar comparison product), they are basically 'neck and neck' (per Consumer Reports); however, I think the look of the KitchenAid is much better, as well as the color choices. (I have white, but I wish I could use that awesome shade of red in my kitchen!!!) |
Another vote for the KA 11 cup FP. It comes with a bunch of discs and a mini-bowl. Mine is that awesome shade of red which I love. |
My first FP was a Cuisinart, which I used for about 20 yrs but the plastic on the bowl seemed to get brittle and pieces just started to break off..motor was still good tho....So I replaced it with the KA that has the mini bowl and extra disks and I love it. It has had some very hard use and handles everything very well. Would never be w/o a FP. Nancy |

Wear Diabetes Blue
EL PASO - The El Paso Diabetes Association is encouraging you to wear blue, the official diabetes color, to celebrate and promote November as diabetes month and November 14, World Diabetes Day.
Awareness is the best weapon to fight diabetes. It empowers people to successfully control - even reverse - diabetes and its complications, and reduces or possibly eliminates the need for insulin or other medications.
Of the 85,281 people in El Paso who suffer from diabetes, 25,000 are not even aware they have the disease. And 1 out of 4 El Pasoans remain at a high-risk.
Know the warning signs: Obese people are 2.5 times more likely to have diabetes, and about 61% of diagnosed diabetics in the border area have at least one other diabetic in the family. It is vitally important to consider weight and family history when assessing risk.
Diabetes is a leading cause of death, and is one of the top 3 reasons why our community accesses the emergency room. Half of all patients admitted to local hospitals have diabetes related complications.
