About Me/My interests: I am a pediatric psychologist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Children's Hospital, Boston. Currently my primary clinical work is with pediatric cancer survivors coming to the Perini Quality of Life Clinic. Previously I worked with pediatric cancer patients on treatment and their families with a particular interest in behavioral interventions and play and puppet therapy with younger patients. I ran our psychosocial training program for many years and continue to supervise and to teach. .I designed DFCI's first "Sibling Day" for siblings of pediatric cancer patients and worked with our local American Cancer Society branch to design a therapeutic day for bereaved siblings. I worked for five years with a small multi-disciplinary group starting a service to improve the quality of end-of-life care for pediatric patients. I was involved in the creation of a new psychosocial unit including developing guidelines for referrals, delivery of services and multidisciplinary cooperation. I was on the DFCI Ethics Committee for three years. I am currently involved in a small research project investigating barriers to the transition of childhood cancer survivors to adult medical care.

I have just cut my gourds off the vine (stems were brown)and wondering what to do now? 2 out of 6 of them were on the ground and are spotted with brown. Are these ok? They seem lighter than the others. |

Put them somewhere to dry? LOL Do you mean lighter in weight or lighter in color? Lighter in weight probably is an indication they are already drying.I don't know how big they are but if they aren't very big you can slip them down inside the cut off legs of old panty hose and hang them somewhere to dry.In a garage,shed or under a carport?? Or sit them somewhere out of the weather to dry,like on a pallet or something so the air can circulate around them. The brown spots may be mold forming,which is natural.Some people clean them with a solution of bleach and water to help keep the mold off,but personally I think what will be underneath the mold when the gourds are completely dried and cleaned is what gives them their unique look........Lillie |

where should they go to dry? I live in Maine and it is getting cold here. Do I keep them in a closet or a basement? Should they be out of the sun? I am not sure what to do with them but it is going to be cold tonight so I was thinking of getting them inside. I think the lighter gourd might have mold or rot on it.. I am not sure how to tell. It is brown. |

I live in Central NY zone 5 I dry mine in my kitchen... takes all winter before they dry... good luck. |
Good air flow is essential to minimize rotting and mold. If you're not going to leave them in the field, anywhere cold, dry and somewhat protected is optimal. I have found the sun to be helpful in the drying process. Darkness seems to exacerbate heavy mold growth. Good Luck! |

I have a pallet here left behind from the roofers. Can I put them on the pallet in the vegie garden and let them dry outside. I'm in zone 4 in the Adirondacks. Our winters are cold, damp, and wet. Thanks for any info. |

The most strange, stupid, weird, boring, and useless App on the Store.
He was meant to be just like any other electronic puppy… one of those sweet and puffy, with big and sparkling eyes, those cute little creatures that millions of people virtually pet every day.
But he's not, he's born different. The result of a genetic experiment, he should have never come into production at the "Tama-MegaCorp" factories.
The Managers of the company, when the first eggs hatched and after a superficial analysis, immediately understood that a virtual human "pet" couldn't have any commercial future – even more so if he speaks meaningless – for them – garbage all the times.
But we decided to save this electronic creature from oblivion.
Very similar to a human being, he lives in your iPhone, 24 hours a day. In the morning, he's ready to face the hard day with you. He gets hungry at lunch and dinner times; feed him – or not. He watches a little TV during evening, and he sleeps in his bed at night – or he tries at least.
But anytime during the day the TamaStupid will gift you with his legendary pearls of wisdom, taken from the best movies that shaped the history of cinema!
Accurate quotes, carefully selected thoughts to accompany you in the daily struggles and that you can share on Facebook, complete with video, soundtrack, and links to iTunes and Imdb, when available.
If you don't like what the TamaStupid said… well, you have plenty of tools to punish him! But remember that even if you don't play with him, the TamaStupid continues to live and suffer.
Spread the "Tama-Thought" and unlock special offers in the TamaStore, but above all, revive and share the emotions of great movies, those that, maybe even without super special effects, thrill you to the bone !

Wrestling: Lockport turns back Lincoln-Way Central 32-28
By Logan Malloy For Sun-Times Media January 9, 2014 9:38PM
Updated: January 9, 2014 10:09PM
When Lockport visited Lincoln-Way Central on Thursday night, the contest figured to be a barn burner.
Not only did the match feature a pair of undefeated state title contenders — Lockport's Tyler Johnson (195 pounds) and Central's Bryce Gorman (170) — but the winner likely would emerge as the front-runner for the SouthWest Suburban Tournament and Lockport Regional.
It was only fitting the dual came down to the final bout. Lockport rallied from a substantial early deficit and Vince Dietz, a returning state qualifier, put things away with a technical fall at 160 pounds for a 32-28 victory.
"That's not the first time where I've been the last one needing a big win," Dietz said. "We knew it was going to be close."
Central took the first two matches when Gorman won via pin and freshman Jake Dudek (182) followed with a decision. Lockport's Johnson responded with a win by pin to cut Central's lead to 9-6, but the Knights notched three straight wins, from Sean Kelly (220), Bryan Ditchman (285) and Vinnie Piunti (106), for a 22-6 advantage.
Lockport state medalist Brian Rossi, a 113-pound Stanford recruit, stopped the streak with a pin, and the Porters later followed by winning two of the most competitive matches: Shayne Oster (126) topped Danny Harris 1-0 and Dan Radcliffe (132) outlasted Joey Nelson 4-3 in matches featuring returning state qualifiers.
"We we're pretty amped," Radcliffe said. "Usually when we pull out the white singlets, we're ready to wrestle."
Lockport took a 27-25 lead after wins by Dominic Naso (138) and Trevell Timmons (145). Central's Cody Millsaps (152) put the Knights on top 28-27 with a decision, which would be the last lead for Central before Dietz put the match away in the next bout.
"You wrestle that dual 10 times, I think you get 10 different outcomes," Central coach Jason DePolo said. "Hats off to those guys. They're a great team from top to bottom."
The victory gives Lockport early validation after moving into Intermat's rank as one of the top 50 teams in the nation.
"We were close in 2009, but this is the first time we cracked in (the national rank)," Lockport coach Josh Oster said. "Not that we're working toward state or national rankings, but it's nice to be recognized."
Central's Ian Meagher, a returning state qualifier, added a win at 120 for the Knights. Each team won seven matches, though the Porters secured more bonus points.

I planted my local Attri in November, and it was growing nicely but lately I have noticed that the new growth seems curled (see photo). Does this look like a lack of water, or a disease of some sort? There was some flowering and early buds, but many of them have fallen off. Any advice is appreciated! |

The filmmaker, who hails from a family with a strong tradition of beekeeping, traveled the globe, and his film is filled with bee experts, both scientists and rustic keepers, who weigh in on a variety of questions. The most pressing one here seems to be: What is decimating large bee populations, even in the most pristine Alpine locations, so essential to our planet's sustainability with their life-giving pollenating? The painstaking work of beekeepers, who cultivate and try to sell colonies, is devastatingly undone by pesticides, the harm incurred during shipping, the pressing lack of genetic diversity among bees, and parasitic enemies like mites. As one American beekeeper puts it, after discovering an entire shipment literally DOA, "I'm getting real comfortable with death on an epic scale and I don't like it." It's good to know, however, that the hardy Africanized (or more commonly known "killer") bee seems to staunchly withstand colony destruction, and may provide a real solution.
The film also makes this point: When you see the hectic community that is a bee colony, in all of its synchronized productivity, the question arises, "Are bees like the organs and cells of a body (the colony), and is that organism in itself an animal?" The experts ruminate and prognosticate away, but, of course, the movie's true star is the bee itself. The superbly probing cinematography captures these wondrous, highly photogenic furry little beasts both in flight and grounded, but never, ever, in repose.

A Newport, Rhode Island, police incident report surfaced regarding Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis and sheds some light on his mental condition during the days leading up to the massacre. Information such as this probably led investigators to characterize his mental state as "unstable."
On August 7, 2013, police were dispatched to a hotel on a harassment call. The report below shows that Alexis, 34, who was a current contractor with the U.S. Navy, told responding officers about hearing voices, being followed and people using microwaves and vibrations on him to keep him from sleeping. Police understandably asked Alexis if he had a history of mental illness, which is code for "are you crazy?" to which he replied that there was no history of mental illness; an assertion that would seem to contradict his statements about vibrations and microwaves. But police seemed satisfied and left. Newport Police did however think the connection to the Navy significant enough to notify Naval Station Police about incident with Alexis.
On the August 23, Alexis went to an ER in Providence, Rhode Island, to get sleep medication, which he refilled at a VA hospital in D.C. on August 28. At 8 a.m. September 16, 2013, at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. Alexis shot 20 people, 12 of whom died. He was killed soon after in an exchange of gunfire with police. His mother says she is glad he is "now in a place where he can no longer do harm to anyone." Investigators are still trying to fill in the gaps in the timeline.

East of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Piedmont region of Virginia still has the same rolling hills and fields that captivated Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe—only now it lures the likes of locals John Grisham and Robert Duvall.

Recently, progressive farms and serious wineries have blossomed, but life continues at a blissfully slow pace.

What would you serve at a beach wedding in the afternoon for appetizers/light meal that is not a seated affair?
Do you think a hot dog bar would be really tasteless? What would be fun, but not tacky? There will be a chocolate fountain. Any ideas? |

Are you setting up everything yourself on the beach or will you be working with a hotel/resort or some similar facility? That will make a huge difference in what you might serve. If this is a public beach, there may be numerous restrictions about what you can and can't do. For instance, many public beaches don't allow breakable items, such as wine or beer bottles or glassware, or even dishware other than paper and plastic. Have you talked with the chocolate fountain people yet? They don't usually do outdoor events because the fountains attract insects. Also, any little grain of sand can ruin the motor or pump. Therefore, most chocolate fountain owners insist on being set up indoors away from an exterior door. Personally, I would avoid hot dogs unless the wedding is very casual. There are a number of appetizers you could serve, including some that can be grilled on-site, which is fun for guests. With more information, surely viewers can make suggestions. |

Hi Sweet Pea, Thanks for the response. It's a private beach with a cabana, the chocolate fountain is being loaned by a family member. We can have glass and alcohol on the upper section of the beach by the cabana but not on the shoreline. The wedding will be pretty casual, at the family beach, with only family and close friends approx. 30 people. Everything is being set up by the bride/groom/wedding party/family. |

You can serve just about any king of food. It the the style and preparation that is of concern. Serve nothing that take two pieces of silverware to eat it with. No meat that needs to be cut with a knife and fork. No long pasta that needs a fork and spoon. Meat on skewers or small buns is good. Small pasta that only needs a fork. Watch out for food that rolls off plate. I went to a stand-up affair and they served melon BALLS instead of squares. Many ended up on the ground getting stepped on. If you are serving raw veggies don't buy those baby carrots that are roly-poly on plates. Get big carrots and cut them in strips. Same with radishes, broccoli heads, pickled mushrooms, ect. Don't serve things dripping with sauces either. Don't serve messy things that one has to hold in their hands like rib niblets that get BBQ sauce under the nails. Even though this is a casual affair people don't want to feel like pigs and be messy the rest of the reception. If you are serving veggies with dip have it in little cups so people don't have to pour it on their plates and have it run off while they balance it. Have everything you serve properly seasoned when cooking so no one needs to pour on condiments and sauce. Avoid serving things that leave a pile of bones on peoples plates while they eat. They will get knocked off while they try to balance bones along with the food. Believe me. And it looks terrible when everyone is done eating to see all the piles of bones on plates everywhere. People are not apt to clean up after themselves at parties and just leave plates all over. Even if you hire a buffet attendent they can't get to everything all at once. |

Timeout Football: Game of the Week
By Mike Hutton 613-0141 or firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter:@MikeHuttonPT September 26, 2013 8:38PM
Chesterton's Cole Teal runs as he is pulled by Valparaiso's Drake Barton on Friday, September 20, 2013 at Chesterton. | Michael Gard/For Sun-Times Media

Updated: October 28, 2013 7:43AM
The return to Portage for Mark Peterson as the head coach of Chesterton isn't that important to him. Peterson coached the Indians for three seasons before resigning in 2009.
He'd rather talk about the kids and winning the game.
"It's another big DAC game for us," he said. "It doesn't matter if it's Portage, Valpo or Crown Point. We're going to get the kids fired up to play. It's not about me, it's about the kids."
The Trojans will have their hands full. Portage thumped Crown Point last week, 31-3. It was a game that figured to be closer.
The Indians have improved steadily the last couple of weeks, losing 12-8 to Lake Central and then falling 31-17 to Merrillville in a game they had the lead at one point.
Gage Pearman, the Indians quarterback, is seven months removed from ACL surgery but he continues to get "better and better", according to Portage coach Wally McCormack.
He has thrown for around 500 yards after not completing a pass the first two weeks, McCormack said.
Portage is playing with two sophomore offensive linemen and two junior linemen.
The team's improved play has coincided with the development of the line.
"We have progressively improved on offense," McCormack said.
The Indians' defensive line, led by Kenyota Rollins, has been impressive. Last week, the Indians defense scored two touchdowns to help them seal the win.
McCormack said that Rollins' play up front allows the linebackers to make plays.
The Trojans were effective moving the ball on the ground last week against Valparaiso — getting nearly 300 yards rushing from Cole Teal, Avery Beeks and Tyler Gillespie.
"They do a lot of neat things on offense," McCormack said. "They have three backs that are really good."
Chesterton didn't throw the ball well last week against the Vikings, finishing 2 of 10 with an interception and 16 yards passing.
Peterson said the bad passing day was unusual.
"We've been pretty balanced this season rushing and passing," Peterson said. "We've thrown for about 150 yards per game and rushed for around 250. We just had a conglomeration of things happen that turned it into a perfect storm for us."
Peterson said one route was run incorrectly and that another time, Teal underthrew a pass and there was the interception.
He called Portage "solid on defense. They create some mismatches that are hard to handle."

1. New sociology majors should take Soc 200: Foundations of Sociology as soon as possible.
2. Sociology uses a portfolio model of student professional development. Students should save all sociology course materials, assignments, examinations, projects, and papers and other professional development experiences in a folder. The original copies with professor's comments and grades are especially valuable. You will use these materials in Soc 495: Senior Seminar.
3. Sociology majors have two options (and a third is being devoloped):
4. Sociology majors should take Soc 201: Social Research I and Soc 202: Introductory Social Statistics as soon as feasible. The knowledge and skills developed in these classes will be very helpful in the upper-level sociology courses. Soc 201 and Soc 202 serve as prerequisites for some upper-level classes.
5. Sociology majors should take Soc 495: Senior Seminar in their last semester when they have completed (or are concurrently enrolled in) all other required classes. Soc 200, 201 and 458 are prerequisites to be completed before starting Soc 495.
6. The Department has adopted the American Sociological Association Style Guide for papers written in our classes. You may purchase the manual at the bookstore or online at www.asanet.org. Copies are also available in the Ready Reference section (HM569 .A54) and on reserve at the MSU library (listed under "Sociology and Corrections" Department).
7. Don't be shy! See your sociology advisor at least once a semester before you register for courses for the following term. Attend Sociology Day each year.
8. Get involved with the Sociology Club. Attend professional conferences. The Sociology Club organizes student groups to attend the Sociologists of Minnesota conference in October and the Midwest Sociological Society conference in April.

1 large egg
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon fresh Paramount Citrus navel orange juice
Zest of two Paramount Citrus navel oranges
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
¾ cup dark chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Add the butter, brown sugar and white sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on medium, and then turn to medium-high. Beat for 60 to 90 seconds.
3. Add the egg and mix for 30 more seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
4. Mix in the vanilla, orange juice and orange zest. Keeping the mixer on medium, add the baking soda, baking powder and salt.
5. Gradually add in the flour, scraping the sides of the bowl as need. Mix just until all the flour is combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
6. Drop by the heaping tablespoon-full on an ungreased baking sheet, about 8 large cookies per standard sheet pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges of the cookies begin to brown and centers are firm. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Petition published by staceybee_lissargenta on Nov 27, 2011
1868 Signatures |
Target: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Region: GLOBAL
Petition Background (Preamble):
The Mission: To induct John Waite into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame since he is the most potent singer of the rock era and he belongs there. In a career that has spanned over four decades, his brilliance and ability to express the soul's romanticism needs to be recognized. It is the reason we listen to and love music after all. The sheer volume of work by this man should be enough for he has touched so many lives whether or not they are aware of...
The Babys -- as lead singer/bassist of this still-adored seminal English rock band of the 1970s. The vocal alone on Isn't It Time warrants entry, as the bridge itself is so mountainous, and the top notes are hit with the same wild intensity as those in the lower velvet range.
Bad English -- was the super of super rock groups, whose first album reached platinum and gold status. Their fiery anthems and power rock ballads of stunning virtuosity comprise a remarkable catalog of songs like When I See You Smile, How Did I Get By, Forget Me Not, Rockin' Horse, and Best of What I Got.
The Voice -- that sparkling rock and roll voice. Huskier for sure, yet crushed and silken as ever, with steadfast nuanced delivery and phrasing. His stirring renditions of songs from Bob Dylan to Bill Withers to Led Zeppelin often outshine the originals.
Rough & Tumble -- the most recent and astonishingly raw studio album produced a number one hit of the same name on adult contemporary charts and was in contention for a Grammy nomination. If You Ever Get Lonely, an achingly beautiful song was just released by country duo Love & Theft and is climbing the country music charts.
The Songs -- are diverse and eclectic with a lyrical vibrancy of melodic and harmonic beauty. Each album contains pivotal songs that reflect a liquidity of references that have influenced countless other musicians.
Missing You, the classic number one USA hit, is a timeless song of love denial and sung in the unique blues rock style he created as a young English rocker. Distinct and mesmerizing, it is a sound frequently imitated yet never surpassed. No Brakes, the original album this single was on reached gold. Its staggering revival, with legendary bluegrass-country singer Alison Krauss, forges a line down into the very roots of rock and roll. It has been covered by luminary artists such as Tina Turner, Rod Stewart and Brooks & Dunn.
Change, the high rotation MTV hit, is a song indelibly fixed in memories of this once revolutionary music channel. In Dreams, an original song written for the movie True Romance is so hauntingly lovely it often drives people to tears during the live shows.
The Performances -- are always stellar and religious and intense. The blazing Rough & Tumble tour itself was a tribal bond of the star to his audience and was a sublime cohesion of love and artistry. This tour has brilliantly been captured on the 2013 release of John Waite Live All Access. Whether he is with a full band, unplugged or purely a cappella, this enchanting artist always leaves the audience hypnotized.
*In Dreams video: Unsteady Freddie. Thx Freddie.
**Special Thx: Michelle Boyer Charles
WE, the undersigned, believe John Waite deserves inclusion to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the basis that he is still recording exceptional music and causing audiences to sway with Dionysian ecstasy. Isn't that what rock and roll is for? The heat of an energy so riveting -- owning the stage -- owning us -- rock and roll incarnate.

Radiation Therapy for Multiple Myeloma
Radiation therapy is the use of penetrating beams of high-energy waves or streams of particles called radiation to treat disease. Radiation therapy destroys the ability of cancer cells to grow and divide.
There are a few cases in which radiation may be used to treat multiple myeloma:
- If the tumor returns to one site and is causing symptoms
- If a compression fracture in the spine is pressing against the spinal cord
- If a bone marrow transplant is to be done—Total body radiation may be given prior to this procedure to eliminate the myeloma cells and prepare the bone marrow for transplantation of the new, healthy stem cells.
Type of Radiation Therapy
External radiation is used to treat multiple myeloma. In external radiation therapy, rays are directed at the tumor from outside the body. Treatments are given at a hospital or radiation center once a day, five days per week. The daily time spent receiving external therapy is short.
Radiation therapy does not cure multiple myeloma, but may be able to decrease symptoms.

Time Magazine calls it the "next food frontier." Consumer demand for grass-fed beef is growing at a rate of 20% a year. People are catching on that beef from grass-fed cattle is lower in saturated fat and higher in Omega-3 anti-oxidant vitamins than meat from their grain-stuffed, feedlot raised cousins.
But there is a potential problem. Grass-fed beef can sometimes be tough. Some producers make this a virtue by labeling it "lean." But according to Alan Nation, the Johnny Appleseed of grass-fed beef, the product will never realize its potential until better quality and consistency is achieved.
If we lived inFrance orArgentina, where people tend to slow-cook their meat, it might not be such a problem. But here people like fast-cooked, seared meat. Tender, juicy and well-marbled. Is there a tradeoff between health and edibility? Read more on The Grass-feeders Dilemma…

Science department seeks new solution, approach to curb Panama
-A A +ATuesday, December 20, 2011
TO CURB the dreaded Panama disease in Davao Region, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) offered to banana industry stakeholders its science-based interventions against the disease.
DOST recently presented to various key players of the region's banana industry its solutions and approaches in preventing the Panama disease or the Fusarium Wilt.
In its proposed action plan on Fusarium Wilt disease management in Davao Region, DOST recommended an approach of preventing the further spread of the disease through early diagnosis, appropriate eradication techniques and quarantine.
It was also cited that an effective irrigation and drainage system should be put up to prevent surface run-off.
"We are looking at all possible solutions," DOST Secretary Mario G. Montejo told reporters in Davao City, referring to the drive of helping the Department of Agriculture (DA) and the banana industry in dealing with the Panama disease that severely hit the region.
For an immediate remedy, Montejo cited the use of three biological control agents such as Trichoderma harzianum, Vesicular arbuscular mychorrhiza (VAM) and Plant Growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).
Montejo explained that the micro-organisms will help strengthen the banana roots to be able to resist the disease.
He told the local media here during a consultation meeting with the banana industry stakeholders on December 8 that the micro-organisms will be tested in fields by early part of next year.
For the long-term approach, DOST raised the use of Foc (Fusarium oxysporum f. Sp. Cubense)-resistant varieties such as GCTCV 119 and 218.
Montejo said they are planning to immediately conduct onsite trials of the Foc-resistant varieties in the mostly hit areas in Davao Region.
He said DOST is also eyeing to request the assistance of the science community of Taiwan where the varieties were taken.
A Banana Research Center which will initially focus on the Panama disease will also soon be put up in Davao City as part of the long-term strategy, the DOST chief disclosed.
Further, DOST recommended for other mitigating measures such as cropping systems (e.g. crop rotation, annual cropping, etc.) and judicious use of effective fungicides.
"We are committed in these endeavors with close coordination with private sectors and DA," stated Montejo, who hoped for a positive response from the stakeholders.
Montejo is optimistic in solving the problem within a one-year period.
DOST is pushing for its S&T interventions on Panama disease through its Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-Pcaarrd) in partnership with the Southern Mindanao Agricultural Resources Research and Development Consortium (Snardrdec).
The DA in the region has also taken steps in addressing the Panama disease that included the creation of Task Force of Fusarium in October this year.
DA's short-term action plan also covered the drafting of quarantine ordinance, trainer's training for municipal agriculturists, disease mapping, management scheme, eradication (burning the mat), use of Trichoderma and information campaign.
DA reported that the disease has infected a total banana area of 634.70 hectares in the region with the highest incidence in Compostela Valley with an area of 425.30 hectares.
Fusarium-infected areas in Davao City reached to 159 hectares, while 50.40 hectares were hit in Davao del Norte, DA said.
Published in the Sun.Star Davao newspaper on December 21, 2011.

This past Friday, I gathered up enough courage to call Santa's business phone to make an appointment to speak to the titan of Christmas productivity on the secrets of his success. I was fortunate enough to speak to a female (I think) elf receptionist, who promptly made an appointment at 11:00pm on Sunday night in my time zone (ouch, so much for sleeping).
The elf receptionist had a sweet voice that actually reminded me of my daughter's voice, but higher and many times faster in what she said. In fact, the entire phone conversation took less than 1 minute. I would guess that a phone conversation with any normal receptionist about setting up an appointment for such an phone interview (there's no way I'm going up there for the interview!) would at least take 10 minutes.
Okay, enough about the pleasant sounding elf and on with the meat of the conversation with Santa!
Secrets To Santa's Success
Since it was 11:00pm, I was somewhere in a state of falling asleep and barely staying awake. As excited about the interview as I was, I found myself fighting sleep and losing. I'm not entirely sure if it wasn't the calm, relaxing sound of Santa's voice, or if it was because I was too tired. Either way, my note taking was subpar, and today, I'm only able to remember the key points of the interview. So where we go…
Top Points of the Secrets to Santa's Success
- Organize, organize, organize! Santa said that he kept detailed notes on everything. He chuckled a bit and told me that it's easier with the new smart phones and tablets. He then declared that technology is kind of a gift to him, and that if it wasn't for technology like iPads and Android tablets, we wasn't sure if he could do it all in one night. At this point he did heave out a deep loud laugh and said that he was kidding, but that these new devices do make his live easier. Especially since all the data from them go to his own "North Pole" cloud!
- Feedback, constant feedback! When you are Santa, you don't have time for missed product lines and delays. If something is off, it need fixed within minutes, not days! Feedback and dashboards make this all possible.
- Redundant facilities. While Santa was kind of hush hush on this one, he did say that sometimes things that are even out of his control happens and he uses the redundant sites to keep production level where they should be. This was a new one on me.
- Mrs Claus. Santa said that Mrs. Claus is the critical base and team mate that makes it all possible. Without her constant support, he would have given up centuries ago! I asked him to elaborate on role of Mrs Claus, and he was glad to do so. First he said that even the small thinks like making cookies were critical to his success. You see, when Santa moves as fast as he does, a lot of energy is consumed. The cookies that Mrs Claus makes are special because they are made with love and that makes them that much more special. He said every hour when he eats some of them, he get an extra pick me up, just looking at the cookies alone. He also told me that she handles all of the computer work like inventory, shipping and the bookkeeping. He concluded by saying that Mrs Claus is as important to him as his right arm in the success of Christmas.
- Fitness. Now you might be wondering "Fitness"? Whahuh? But according to Santa right after Christmas, he's about 200 lbs lighter! Yep, doing the same amount of productivity as the entire output from a small country tends to burn the fat off like not other workout in the world. Luckily, his skin is very elastic and he snaps back into shape quite easily! Believe it or not, but he's quite the extreme sporting guy until a few months before Christmas. Apparently, he enjoys sunny destinations where he can go jet skiing, suba diving, and like to jog on the beach. He like anything that doesn't involve flying. He said that he does enough of that during Christmas and want to stay on the ground or in the water the rest of the year.
- Belief. The task that Santa does takes an incredible amount of believe in both the cause, his team (including Mrs Claus), and himself.
- Santa also said that belief and goodwill towards men helps too. Without those two ingredients, he said he couldn't function or exit in his present form. So pat yourself on the backs, moms and dads.
As fascinating as this interview was, at this point I drifted off into a solid sleep. I awoke next morning to a cell phone with a dead battery, and the creases of the outline of the smart phone embedded in my cheek. While I was upset that I had dozed off during a conversation with Santa, I had the feeling that this has happened before, albeit with children instead of fully grown adult, but it's all the same to him I'm sure.
Here's wishing everybody a great Christmas this year!

So you are just interested in positive reviews, yes? |
I am totally not into fancy appliances (no space and too cheap) but I have a 13 year old Amana from Sears that has worked flawlessly. 22.5 cu ft, $600 on sale w/coupon. It probably should be replaced with a more efficient model, but I will wait a while longer. And I would definitely get a bottom freezer drawer, not a door. |

The Goal: I wanted to make, in my head, a safari style white buttondown. Something less dressy and more utilitarian than your standard white shirt. I had the fabric and pattern for awhile but I had yet to actually sew it.
The Pattern: Another Grainline Archer! After my first one I immediately dived into my second version. Love this pattern. I did a straight size 4 (this shirt isn't very fitted, which I like, so no need for any major fit adjustments).
The Changes: Ok, here's where things got interesting. First, the pockets. By the time I cut out my pocket pieces the unthinkable happened. I ran out of spray starch. This rayon is super shifty. Luckily it tears so that helped me get some straight lines on the cross grain while cutting but for sewing this stuff doesn't want to stay still. I cut these pockets about an inch shorter than the pattern piece and roughly 3.5 inches wider to accommodate the pleat.
I blame the shifty fabric for my mistake of sewing my pockets inside out. See, I intended for the box pleat to face out, instead I stitched them the other way and didn't even notice until they had been sewn to the shirt. At that point I had sewn the pockets down a total of five different times because they would shift around as I stitched even with all the pins I owned trying to keep them in place. After the pocket-sewing-fiasco of 2014 I decided to leave them as is. While wandering around with my fam the other day I found myself staring at random people's shirts to see if I could find pockets like mine to justify my mistake.
On a better note I also added these little tab thingies on the sleeves (I seriously do not know what these are called so I've just declared them tabs until I am corrected).
It took a little work to figure them out, I'm sure you've seen them before. They're lengths of fabric stitched to the inside of the sleeve with a buttonhole on the free end. On the outside of the sleeve there's a button attached so you can hook the tab to it and hold up the sleeve. A cool detail I think. And with the shifty fabric my rolled up sleeves tend to unroll themselves anyway.
Would anyone be interested in a tutorial for this? I figure I can't do a tutorial for something I can't even name, lol.
The Results: Yay, I have a white shirt! Versatile and cute. Goes with anything. Fits well. Super win!

review by James Hrivnak
Cop 1988
James Hrivnak's review:
For whatever reason, I was hoping James B. Harris' Cop would be one of those forgotten gems - a film in need of re-evaluation and recuperation, like Don Seigel's Charley Varrick. Yet, for every Charley Varrick, you end up sitting through a dozen films that have been forgotten with good reason.
Based on the James Ellroy novel Blood on the Moon, James Woods plays your standard unorthodox cop of the 80s. He pushes boundaries, breaks rules, and (you'll probably guess) gets suspended from duty - all in the line of gettin' the job done - in this case, tracking down a serial killer. Woods' Lloyd Hopkins, though, is thoroughly unlikable and an a-hole. Which, I suppose, would be fine, if the film that supported him wasn't so dreadful.
Cop is a bore with weak plotting, lapses in logic, a laughably awful performance from Lesley Ann Warren (as a feminist bookstore owner), and long stretches where very little happens occasionally punctuated with grim violence.

Like many other people out there, some of the experiences I've had in MMOs have been just as exciting, frustrating and rewarding as some offline ones. Much of my time away from the computer is spent planning how best to maximise the time I'll be spending online, and how best to wring every last bit of content out of my experiences in-game. For a lot of players, not matter how immersive the game experience is, it's simply not enough, and the static nature of a game's story frustrates them to the point where they are driven to expand on it themselves. Or perhaps they simply don't want to be restricted to the game mechanics to tell their character's story.
Unfortunately, fan fiction has a bit of a bad reputation these days. I myself have written a couple of pieces of fan fiction in the past, and still find myself thinking of the term with a little sneer (for which I hate myself already, so no flames please), but maybe if we understood fan fiction a little better, we might look on it a bit more favourably.
Whether you know the term or not, the most infamous type of fan fiction is the 'slash' genre – slash being the term given to fan fiction with homo-erotic elements where there were none in the original. Look hard enough and I'm sure you'll find someone writing about Thrall and Garrosh getting a little 'cosier' than they ever do in-game. Fan fiction labelled 'lemon' will contain sexually explicit material, while anything labelled as 'lemon scented' won't contain anything sexually explicit, but will imply it in some way.
Most fan fiction is rarely specific to a certain game, and is instead based in the game universe at large. You're much more likely to find fan fiction labelled for 'Warcraft' rather than 'World of Warcraft', or for 'Star Wars' rather than 'Star Wars Galaxies', for example. Everquest and Everquest 2 share the same universe, so are more often than not simply labelled as 'Everquest' on its own.
There are plenty of resources out there for fan fiction based on MMOs. Your first stop should really be FanFiction.net. Jump over to their Games section, and you can find plenty of Warcraft, Everquest and Star Wars material (bear in mind that the Star Wars section covers more than just Galaxies). Strangely, there doesn't seem to be anything for EVE Online on FanFiction.net.
For a slightly more specific look, you could always visit some of the following sites:
- A simple Google search for WoW fan fiction will find bucketloads of hits for you to peruse, (2,470,000 hits when I tried), but I think it'd be a safe bet that some of them could do with some editorial guidance.
- The Fan Fiction forum over at World of War.net is another place to get your WoW fan fiction fix.
- Blizzplanet lists a metric tonne of fan fics on their site, however the links all appear to be dead or pointing to a site I find suspicious, so I'm not going to link directly, go find it yourself if you wish.
- Tabula Rasa appears to have embraced the idea of fan fiction, having created two official areas for fan fiction – the aptly-named Fan Fiction page in the Community section, and the Soul of a Soldier page, which is geared more towards 200-300 word blog style entries.
- Eve Library looks like a good place to start the search for EVE Online fan fiction.
- As mentioned above, Galaxies-specific fan fiction seems to be harder to come by. The Internet is, of course, packed to the rafters with general Star Wars fan fiction. Of course, theforce.net is a fantastic source for all kinds of Star Wars fan fiction, particularly in its literary and visual forms. The site is updated on a regular basis with high-quality material, but some older pieces remain my favourites.
- The Star Wars Galaxies Vault over at ign has some Fan Fiction there, not much though, and some of it hasn't been updated in a while.
- If Everquest floats your boat, FanFiction.net has plenty of material for you perusal.
While there are plenty of works of fan fiction out there which are painfully, painfully bad, much of it is simply the work of dedicated fans whose love for a game is such that they're driven to expand on their experiences and share them with others. Take a chance and have a look around - you may be surprised at what you find.

LibDems Will Not Automatically Reinstate Whip to David Ward
The agreement made between Clegg, LibDem chief whip Alistair Carmichael and David Ward that said the controversial MP would automatically have the LibDem whip reinstated on September 13 is in tatters. Carmichael is out of the country, though a LibDem source says "it would be difficult" to accept Ward back into the party after he openly defied Clegg yesterday by repeating his belief that the future of the state of Israel is not guaranteed. Spare a thought for Carmichael, who had his birthday ruined by Ward and is now having his holiday disrupted. A spokesman tells Guido:
"This situation will be revisited when all parties return to Westminster. Bearing in mind these comments, they will play a very important part in any decision about his reinstatement to the parliamentary party."
When Guido put it to them that Clegg would look ridiculous reinstating Ward after yesterday's comments, there was hardly disagreement…

BREAKING: Order Granting Preliminary Approval Dryer vs NFL Films
THIS JUST IN: An Order Granting Preliminary Approval in the Dryer vs NFL Films suit has just been filed in the District Court of Minnesota. Note the new, l-o-n-g list of Plaintiffs in this filing. We now know that the original Plaintiffs were never consulted nor informed of discussions or negotiations. And worse still, many of the newly-listed Plaintiffs had also never even granted permission to have their names added to the Plaintiff's list on this Preliminary Settlement! And THAT'S the difference between honest lawyers fighting for their clients in an open courtroom and dishonest lawyers looking to make a quick buck at the expense of their clients in backroom dealings. If you DON'T want to have this happen to your concussion lawsuit, you may want to consider changing law firms NOW!
Now that the gag order has finally been lifted, this will definitely be an open discussion at our upcoming 2013 IFV Conference in Las Vegas May 3 – 5. Be sure to book your flights and hotel rooms now – Click HERE!

We are buying 111 square feet of travertine coping and 1500 square feet of travertine pavers for our pool in mid-west Florida (Sarasota/Tampa area).
For INSTALLATION only, our pool builder is charging us $2.50 per square feet to lay the pavers for the deck (in sand) but an outrageous $22.65 per square foot to install the coping (mortared). We just had 5 bathrooms retiled and the price didn't come even close to that. His justification for the installation difference is that they have to be mortared. Can anyone share what they paid for Installation on coping versus Installation on decking? Again these are travertine pavers and travertine bullnose coping. I feel like we're getting ripped off and really need some guidance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I am in Tampa Bay (Pasco county) I had 863 sq ft of pavers and brick coping installed for under $6000, that was everything, not just the installation cost. I am not sure what the cost per foot was, but that seems crazy. |
I think that that is very pricey. We live in Jacksonville, FL. We paid $3.00 per sq ft for the pavers outside our screen area, $5.00 per sq ft for the screened room AKA Flamingo Room, and $5.26 per sq ft for the pavers on the raised footers that hold the screen room in place. All the rest of the pavers were included in the price of the pool. The pavers outside the screen room have been mortared at ht borders to keep the pavers from moving. We built our pool in 2009 so I am not sure how that would compare with prices today. I would definitely get more quotes. Please post pics of your install. Hope this helps. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Our pool build in Jacksonville
The price for the pavers is very good maybe even cheap. The price for coping install is always higher. If your pool has lots of curves cost goes up due to all the cuts. That said i don't know if your coping price is high or not. |
- Posted by natural_one (My Page) on Wed, Apr 11, 12 at 14:30
both prices would be reasonable for AZ. The 22 could be high for AZ for labor only from a builder to a homeowner, but there are some variables there that could drive the price by a couple bucks up or down (curved or straight, grout/color, sealed/non sealed, thin sets used etc). |

Free download: wintry notecards
November 15, 2009
Winter is very, very far away from the California coast. Just last week we were at the beach. But I can dream about bundling up in layers of tights, boots, scarves, and mittens and walking through crunchy white snow. It seems like an entirely different life when I was a little girl growing up in Chicago, but I will always remember the snow. And the wonder I felt seeing the year's first snowflakes fall out of the sky.
Care to download my free snowflake notecards? These are little, one-sided flat cards that would fit into an A2-size envelope. For personal use only, of course.

Hi, I am remodeling and considering two Electrolux items. 1. The 27 inch double ovens with wave touch electric/convection. Model EW27EW65G 2. Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator with IQ Touch Controls. Model EI23BC65K Upon reading reviews from about two years ago, I see there were problems with the self-clean, convection, electronics panel on the ovens and the ice maker and temperature setting on the fridge. I would like to hear from those who purchased comparable Electrolux models within the past year or so if these issues have been resolved and if they are happy with their purchase. I am open to suggestions. I am limited to a 27 inch oven and a counter depth fridge that's case is not higher than 69.5. I can afford Electrolux, but not a pricier brand like Wolf. Thanks in advance :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
We have a single 27" Elux wave-touch, non-Icon, electric wall oven. We've used it a lot in the year since it was installed. We do NOT use the self-clean, in part because of the many warnings that it could cause failure. We had this message reinforced by a service technician who came to check on it. We thought it wasn't heating as evenly as it should. He told us we needed to pre-heat for longer than I was allowing. But he said that the self-clean cycle was too hot for the electronic panels behind the oven which aren't adequately vented. So we risked having these fail if we used the clean cycle. Some people say they have used self-clean without a problem. I want this oven to last a long time, so we clean it manually with elbow grease and Barkeeper's Friend. BTW the technician told us that the oven needs to pre-heat longer than it seems. You hear the beep that it has reached the set temperature, but the oven will cycle on and off for several minutes until the temperature stabilizes. For our oven, that means pre-heating for about 20 minutes. At that point anything that you bake or roast will cook evenly. We accept these limitations, but you may not. Other than this, the oven is just perfect. I couldn't be happier. Cheryl |
Thanks so much Cheryl :) I am bad about sticking stuff in my oven now before it fully preheats, so I guess I will have to get better about that. May I ask who you purchased your oven from? A small dealer, big box, or online? I live in a small town, so I don't have many options for service. Stacey |
Stacey, We bought ours from Sears online outlet. See link below (some Elux ovens listed BTW). We got it with an extended warranty from Sears. We paid roughly half list price, with full warranty for a new unit. It was supposedly a floor model but had never been installed or turned on. We checked it carefully on arrival and found no damage of any kind. We found that single Elux ovens on the outlet disappear off the site very quickly. We were checking for a couple of months before two ovens showed up. We bought one immediately. A couple of hours later, both ovens were taken off the website. I don't know if this happens with the double ovens. We had seen the oven at a local Sears, so we knew what to expect. When we wanted service, I think DH called the number on our extended warranty. I don't know who the service tech was or where he came from. He seemed competent and checked out the oven carefully. As I said, we're very happy with the oven (keeping fingers crossed). The extended warranty gave us peace of mind. Good luck, |

The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers fulfils the Teacher Registration Board of the Northern Territory's statutory requirements under section 11 (f) and (h) of the Teacher Registration (Northern Territory) Act.
The standards and their descriptors represent an analysis of effective contemporary practice by teachers throughout Australia. The development of the standards included a synthesis of the descriptions of knowledge, practice and professional engagement used by teacher accreditation and registration authorities, employers and professional associations. Each descriptor has been informed by teachers' understanding of what is required at different stages of their career. An extensive validation process involving almost 6,000 teachers ensured that each descriptor was shaped by the profession.
The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers are a public statement of what constitutes teacher quality. They define the work of teachers and make explicit the elements of high-quality, effective teaching in 21st century schools that will improve educational outcomes for students. The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers:
The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers are organised into four career stages and guide the preparation, support and development of teachers. The stages reflect the continuum of a teacher's developing professional expertise from undergraduate preparation through to being an exemplary classroom practitioner and a leader in the profession.
The Graduate Standards will underpin the accreditation of initial teacher education programs. Graduates from accredited programs qualify for registration in each state and territory.
The Proficient Standards will be used to underpin processes for Full Registration as a teacher and to support the requirements of nationally consistent teacher registration.
The Highly Accomplished and Lead Standards will inform voluntary certification.
Australian Professional Standards for Teachers
The Australian Professional Standard for Principals has been developed to define the role of the principal and unify the profession nationally, to describe the professional practice of principals in a common language and to make explicit the role of quality school leadership in improving learning outcomes. It will assist in attracting, developing and supporting aspiring and practising principals.
It is a content standard and will be used to lead learning by:
The Australian Professional Standard for Principals sets out what principals are expected to know, understand and do to achieve excellence in their work. It takes full account of the crucial contribution made by principals in:
Australian Professional Standards for Principals
In January 2013, all teachers in the Northern Territory will begin working to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers at their individual career stage. The NT TRB acknowledges that there will be a period of transition for both provisionally registered and fully registered teachers.
The mapping document provides a snapshot of the changes and how the Northern Territory Standards of Professional Practice for Teaching align to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers by career stage and domain.
