I am a mindfulness-based psychologist working from a cognitive-behavioral orientation and specializing in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I believe that problems of the heart and mind have solutions. Sometimes change and recovery involve difficult and uncomfortable work, and that is why I promise to approach your situation with compassion.
Here are answers to some common questions about working with a psychologist:
How much do I charge?
I ask $135 per session. I will meet with you for a solid hour, rather than the standard 45-50 minute session.
Do I offer a sliding scale?
I do not, for a variety of philosophical and practical reasons. Constraining my practice to a single fee allows me to charge a bit less than the going rate, and it prevents me from asking you to subsidize other clients by paying a higher fee.
Do I work with insurance companies?
No. I will, however, provide an invoice for out-of-network reimbursement from your carrier. Many of my clients take advantage of that money-saving option.
There are two reasons that I do not work with insurance companies. First, there is evidence that the involvement of an insurance company can damage therapeutic outcomes. I want to make sure that I am working for you, not for a third party with a different set of motivations.
Secondly, I take your privacy very seriously. Insurance companies require providers to divulge information that may later affect your ability to obtain coverage. My billing approach offers a higher level of privacy even if you choose to seek out-of-network reimbursement.
What about confidentiality?
I take confidentiality very seriously. Excepting situations in which I am bound to break confidentiality (for example, reported child abuse or the intent to harm someone), everything we discuss will stay between you and me.
How long does treatment take?
Some problems can be managed in just a few sessions. Many can be dealt with in 10-12 sessions. And some people choose to use therapy on an ongoing basis for a variety of reasons, such as managing complex difficulties or using therapy to continually pursue their highest potential.
What does "Psy.D." mean?
It is a doctorate of clinical psychology – a professional degree akin to an M.D. or J.D. I am a licensed psychologist in the State of Colorado.
Am I married?
People considering couple therapy will want to know that I am happily married to my wife of eleven years. We have a young daughter and a dog named Hachi.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.

My mother constantly posts things on Facebook that she directs at me or tries to include me in that have to do with how great she thinks Fox News is and how evil all other news is. I have tried voicing my opinion that I do NOT like Fox News because I find them to be biased and bigoted. However, she is in far too deep. She is one of those conspiracy theorist tea party loving people. Completely brainwashed.
I honestly cannot stand hearing about it anymore. She is not willing to listen to my side, so why should I listen to hers? She is trying to argue, not debate. She comes off as very condescending, telling me I am wrong about everything, and mocking me for being an atheist.
Most of the rest of my family doesn't have FB, thankfully, except my brother. He likes to get into arguments just as much. He also openly admits to breaking gun laws and how he thinks the government is coming for him. He thinks anyone who thinks differently is just uneducated and beneath him.
I really don't know what to do. Sure, they are family, but I am tired of the disrespect.
Kelly, I've dropped on facebook my brother because of an issue like this. You are not obligated to be her friend on facebook. You could always shoot a warning shot over her head: "if you don't stop sending me fox news crap, I will unfriend you on facebook." Or you could just unfriend her (and your brother as well). Or block them.
I go on facebook to catch up with friends and family that I'm interested in. Some of them are mind-bogglingly conspiracy-theorist jesusloving crazy wingnuts, but don't pester me personally with their crap, so I just scroll over and move on.

I'm hoping that its better than 3...
YES!!! This is great news!!!! :yahoo:
thats great! I dont know why everyone hated the third movie though, I thought it was the best one. If you watch it more than once and really pay attention to the details, it ties everything together perfectly. I wonder if it is going to be about the fountain of youth?
-by the way, i also saw that there will be a national treasure 3 and cars 2 is moved up to be released in 2011
Very excited! Our house loves the Pirates movies.
I'm sooo excited too!! I love this movie and Johnny, Orlando and Kiera!
Looking forward to another Pirates. Hopefully it can be more like the original than the last 2. And LR sounds like a disaster.
The third movie was better than the second. And you could tell by the way they ended the third that there was a possibility for a fourth one.
sweet pirates 4!!! i hope they don't make it as hard to follow as the 3rd installment.
I loved all 3, although I agree that 3 was a little too hard to follow for the average person. I've got a master's degree and an above average IQ and I was a little :confused: at times.

I dug up a 6'x4' patch of Mondo grass today to make room for a new hosta bed. I don't want to go through the trouble of mailing it, but if someone in Triangle could use some Mondo grass, send me an email. I plan to transplant some of it to other places in my yard, but will still have a lot of it leftover. It makes a very nice groundcover for shady areas, and will gradually fill in to make a dense mat that is not invasive. It's the dark green variety, about 6" in height, with a nice weeping form. Not to be confused with liriope. I live in North Raleigh off Durant Road. |
Follow-Up Postings:
you wouldn't be talking about japanese forest grass would you? i would gladly drive up for that. i'm in garner. tammy |
What I have is Ophiopogon japonicus, usually called Mondo grass. What you are talking about (I think), is Hakone grass, Hakonechloa macra. I don't have any of that to trade. |
Has the grass been spoken for? I live in North Raleigh and would love to have some Mondo Grass. Except for Tuesday most of the week is clear for me. PLKM. Shannon/Dirtrx |
i was interseted in the hakonechloa, you were right. i'm so busy right now, i'll pas on this one. shannon, have fun! thanks, though, tam |
Any left? I would like to try it in a shady area, if it is still available. I live nearby in North Raleigh. Thanks either way! Jean |
Jean -- Yes, I still have some Mondo grass left. It's been sitting bareroot now for about a week or so, but it's in a shady area and we've had several rains, so it should be OK. Send me an email if interested. |
OK, I'm sure the grass is all gone by now but if not please send me an email. I'm in Raleigh and would be able to pick it up Monday or Tuesday at the latest. I don't care what kind of mongo grass it is. Need all I can get. |

« February 2008 Table of Contents
Working in a restaurant kitchen is demanding, both physically and mentally. It requires dexterity, attentiveness, vigor - all in a room that's packed to the gills with cooking equipment and sometimes conflicting personalities. Now imagine working under such conditions in a 10-by-85-foot dining car traveling at 60 mph. It's not easy, but Jeffrey Martin thrives under such conditions.
As executive chef of GrandLuxe Rail Journeys (formerly American Orient Express), Martin, 33, oversees the dining program and manages a 20-person kitchen staff on a 140-passenger luxury train that offers two- to 10-day trips. Among his multiple responsibilities is sourcing predominately fresh seafood, so establishing credible relationships with seafood vendors from Charleston, S.C., to Seattle is paramount.
Martin's affinity for seafood dates to his childhood in Yazoo City, Miss., where he grew up on a steady diet of catfish and Gulf shrimp. He even worked on a catfish farm one summer. Martin's family raised livestock and crops for a living, so naturally he studied agriculture at Mississippi State University. But after three-and-a-half years, Martin realized farming wasn't his bag, so he took a job as a dishwasher in his hometown, working his way up to kitchen manager within a year.
Martin moved to Portland, Ore., in 1998 and graduated from Western Culinary Institute. After his 12-month stint at WCI, Martin landed an internship at Dickie Brennan's Palace Café in New Orleans, working under chefs Darin Nesbit and Gus Martin, who he says taught him the restaurant business. Martin returned to Portland to work as a chef for Bishop Morris Place-Northwest, a retirement community, and Majestic America Line, which operates six luxury riverboats, before being named executive chef of GrandLuxe in 2005.
I spoke with Martin in December, two months after he moved to the Denver area, where GrandLuxe is based.
HEDLUND: How important is the train's dining experience?
MARTIN: It's huge - we have a very captive audience. On cruise ships there are a lot of things to do - dance, gamble. For us, there are the tours, and then there's the food. [Food] is one of the focal points of the train. It has to be superb. It's my responsibility to make sure 140 passengers are happy, plus 55 crewmembers.
What percentage of the menu is seafood?
On average, we're looking at 50 percent beef, 35 to 40 percent seafood and 10 to 15 percent poultry. But it varies from night to night. It's mostly fresh seafood. The only thing I get frozen are spiny lobster tails and shrimp. We'll run certain menus for certain trips. For example, if we're up in Seattle I'll do halibut and salmon. If we're in the mountains I'll do trout and steelhead. If we're down in Louisiana I'll do grouper, snapper, redfish, pompano, crawfish and brown shrimp. That's my favorite trip [from Washington, D.C., to New Orleans] because I get to cook the food I grew up on. I really enjoy working with shrimp.
How do you plan the menu?
I plan the menu a week ahead of time. It takes several days to track down all my vendors and get all the products I need. Sometimes it comes in and sometimes it doesn't. We have only about 24 hours when we're in town. When something comes up short, I have to come up with something different. More perishable seafood products like tuna I'll run the first night, because I know it's going to [spoil] a lot faster than, say, halibut or salmon.
What's it like working in such a tight kitchen?
I have one freezer onboard. I have one walk-in cooler where I keep my dairy and produce. I have one double-door, reach-in cooler. [Seafood] is put in perforated pans and iced down.
The kitchen is like a shoebox. But everyone gets along well. Because if you don't, you usually don't last. I have staff members who have been with the company for years because they like the lifestyle and the people they work with. My turnover rate is very low compared to a land-based restaurant, which is kind of hard to believe. I think I turned three cooks last year, and that was it. There's no room for bickering or arguing. It's not like you go home after work. On the train, you see your co-workers waiting in line for a shower or walking down the hall. Everybody gets along, and they do their job well. I'm very proud of my staff.
Are your customers more adventurous eaters because they're on vacation?
Most of our customers are pretty perceptive to modern food trends, which I wouldn't expect with our age group [retirees]. Take amberjack. Most people aren't familiar with that fish at all. But we can go through 20 pounds a night. I was really shocked at what people were willing to try when I came onboard. I thought this was a meat-and-potatoes crowd. It is, but they don't pass up a nice piece of pheasant, duck or seared tuna.
Do the kids on the train eat seafood?
A lot of kids nowadays are willing to try what their parents eat. It just depends on the age group. I find that kids 10 and under want the basics - fries, chicken tenders, maybe a burger. But kids 11 and up eat seafood quite a bit; they'll eat snapper, they'll eat shrimp. They'll try a lot of things that they probably wouldn't try if mom and dad were cooking it at home.
What's your biggest challenge?
I plan the menu, I order my products, then my vendor calls me and says, "Hey, your halibut's not coming." So I ask him what else he has. Working with a fish I may not have cooked in a while [is challenging].
What do you enjoy the most about your job?
I enjoy being different places. It's like Yasser Arafat - he never slept in the same place twice. I enjoy the challenges that come with this job. There's no other job that I've had where things change daily. There are so many interesting people that you meet, be it a salesman, a passenger or a crewmember.

Commodity Market Regulation
Bubbles, Froth, and Facts: The Impact of Index Funds on Commodity Futures Prices (February 2010) Two economics professors have published a paper analyzing commodity index trader position data from 2004 to 2009. The professors, Dwight Sanders of Southern Illinois University and Scott Irwin of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, found that a large increase in commodity index positions occurred in select commodity markets. However, that increase took place well in advance of the 2007-2008 boom in commodity prices, the professors said. They also said that statistical tests on the data did not reveal any link between commodity index activity and commodity futures prices. Click Here for Full Text |


text: Antoine Fuqua, your movie ''Training Day'' has just won Denzel Washington an Oscar. How are you going to celebrate? A day later, the director started shooting his next film, about a team of Navy SEALs (led by Bruce Willis) dropped into the Nigerian jungle on a search-and-rescue mission. A cocksure Fuqua must have strutted onto the Hawaiian set. ''Nah, I was scared to death,'' he says. ''I wanted to keep up the quality of work!'' And just as ''Training Day'' wasn't a simple shoot-'em-up, costar Monica Bellucci, who plays a stranded doctor, promises ''Tears of the Sun'' is more than a brash military movie: ''It's not an action flick where people are just killing each other. It's a drama about Africa, and not many people know what's going on over there.'' Fuqua had hoped to shoot the entire film on location, but the ''temperature of the world'' kept him Stateside. He did insist on casting Africans. ''We brought in the lost boys of Sudan,'' he says. ''We had people from Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Zaire. I mean, some of them had never been on an escalator or an elevator. A movie was like being on a f---ing other planet.'' (March 7)

The South African citrus industry is expected to ship 14% more fruit this year than last year, and industry officials and importers say they'll have no problem finding enough demand to match those higher volumes.
In the past 10 years, Fort Pierce, Fla.-based DNE World Fruit Sales never received any South African clementines in May, said Tom Cowan, South African citrus category manager.
This year DNE expects to do just that, with some early shipments coming in the third week of May. However, Cowan says he's not worried about product entering a full pipeline.
"We should fit right in, from what retailers are telling us," he said. "California should be done with mandarins."
Clementines continue to gain favor in the U.S., Cowan said.
"They've taken away navel business in the winter, and we see it being a big item for the summer citrus program," he said. "It's a very popular piece of fruit."
South African navels should be in high demand as well, with little chance of Chile, whose navels were allowed in the U.S. beginning last year, dampening demand, Cowan said.
Both countries shipped about 1.5 million boxes last summer, he said, and this summer the joint total could be in the 3.5 million to 4 million box range.
"I think there will be some offers out there for retailers to offer customers," he said. "One thing retailers like about summer citrus is it's added dollars they didn't have before. And citrus can take a full mark-up. It's a profitable item."
South African shippers and importers are a lot less nervous about Chile entering the navel deal than they were last year, said David Mixon, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of Vero Beach, Fla.-based Seald Sweet International.
"Last year everybody was very, very concerned," he said. "There wasn't a good handle on the the amount of fruit the market could bear. But it proved to be very achievable for everyone," Mixon said.
Peru and Australia along with South Africa and Chile among those enjoying good navel demand in 2009, he said.
Things should only get better, Mixon said.
"I think this market is just seeing the tip of the iceberg of what can be utilized," he said.
Montreal-based Fisher Capespan Inc. also is optimistic heading into the summer of 2010, despite having Chile in the mix again, said Marc Solomon, the company's president and chief executive officer.
"Based on last year's experience, South African growers are confident they can grow (the size of the North American deal)," he said. "Chile has an advantage on the West Coast on freight, but I think they can co-exist and both do well."

Photo-catalytic materials for the destruction of recalcitrant organic industrial waste
Coordinators: Philip R. Davies & Karen Wilson
Web Site: http://www.pcatdes.eu/default.asp
CCI staff Phil Davies & Karen Wilson have put together a cross disciplinary team of scientists and engineers from teams based in Britain, Germany, Spain, Turkey, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand to successfully bid for approximately €3.9 million of EU funding to develop a cost effective and sustainable, solar powered method for mineralising the recalcitrant organic pollutants that biological methods cannot remove from the waste water produced in agricultural industries.
Scarcity and misuse of fresh water pose a growing threat to sustainable global development and it is abundantly clear that the protection of ecosystems and the environment in the 21st century requires more effective management of water and land resources.
Organic pollutants from the agricultural (e.g. olive oil, palm oil and sugar cane) and seafood industries are of particular concern as these enterprises are frequently in remote locations making most current individual on-site treatment options unaffordable.

Calumet Is My Back Yard (CIMBY) works with over 500 9th-12th grade students from the South Side of Chicago every year to improve natural sites and to bring science lessons to life. In this place-based, real-world environmental science program, each school sponsors a specific local natural area in the Calumet Region. The students participate in a variety of different activities throughout the fall, winter, and spring, from ecological restoration to classroom lessons and leadership training.
CIMBY is a joint program of The Field Museum's Action Science Center and its Youth Conservation Action work (formerly called Calumet Environmental Education Program) and Chicago Public Schools' Service Learning Initiative. CIMBY activities help build students' leadership and scientific skills and helps students develop a meaningful relationship with nature.
See our accomplishments from one year of CIMBY.
Components of the CIMBY program:
CIMBY Classroom Curriculum gives students a basic understanding of the natural history and environmental issues in their communities. CIMBY Staff support teachers and help them integrate the lessons into their teachings.
Field Activities, centered around The CIMBY Field Trip Model and ecological restoration workdays, engage students in a specific local natural area. Throughout the field experiences, CIMBY students learn to care for prairies, woodlands, and wetlands.
Student Leadership Events bring together students from a variety of the participating high schools, including a kick-off day of restoration and exploration at the Indiana Dunes, a Biodiversity Day at Sand Ridge Nature Center, a guided bus tour of the Calumet region, an Environmental Leadership Workshop and an end-of-the-year Science Summit hosted by the Field Museum.
Summer Internship Opportunities are available to select students that participate in the CIMBY program and want to expand their knowledge and leadership skills. The Field Museum hosts the Ford Environmental Leadership Internship (FELI) program each summer. Click here to apply for the Ford Environmental Leadership Internship.
How to Get Involved
CIMBY Teachers participate in two, one-day trainings each school year, that consist of professional development, the opportunity to build community with other CIMBY teachers and provide feedback and shape the direction of the program. Teachers enjoy ongoing support in the classroom, and CIMBY staff organize and facilitate three seasonal ecological restoration workdays with each school group. We work with teachers located on Chicago's South Side or in the larger Calumet region. For more information, please contact Laura Milkert.
The CIMBY Field Trip Model and Ecological Restoration Workdays are made up of three components:
- Stewardship work is part of an overall site management plan and is done in close coordination with volunteer stewards and land managers. Students may collect and spread native seeds in the fall, clear invasive brush with saws and loppers in the winter while staying warm around a brush pile bonfire, and pull garlic mustard by hand in the spring while discovering wildflowers.
- The Ecological monitoring component of each workday allows students to measure change and connect to the scientific concepts that are being explored in the classroom. CIMBY students further develop field ecology skills and generate data useful to ecologists and site stewards tracking changes in urban natural areas. Monitoring compenents include fall vegetative monitoring, spring water quality monitoring protocols, and photo point monitoring to track the visual changes on the landscape.
- Guided exploration of each site. Through these activities, CIMBY participants use their senses to explore and connect to nature. Exploration activities include a winter biodiversity search, a listening exercise, and building ephemerel sculptures out of natural materials.

I have used all the major networks over the past couple of years. Now I realize each network will act differently in each area. I also discovered that sometimes the phone itself makes a difference.(No…Not just the famous i-Phone antenna issue…other phones have similar issues as well) I live Northwest of Houston but work downtown….Below have been my experiences.
When I was with T-Mobile I had a great signal at home. I never had any problems there. When I went to work….I virtually had no signal. I dropped data and voice signals all day long. You would think Downtown Houston(A major metropolitan area) would not have these issues. I checked the T-Mobile website for the data coverage map and see it still hasn't changed. See map below:
Bottom Line: T-Mobile needs to fix their downtown data coverage issues….Please!
When I was with AT&T I had a great signal at work(Downtown Houston). The magical i-Phone worked like a charm! When I went home…it slowly died and withered into a dead zone. Dropped call after dropped call. The data bars surely must have got tired of playing hide and seek. I would have been happy with 2G…
Bottom Line: AT&T works great but not outside the major metropolitan Houston area. It may have been too many iPhones draining the network???? Who knows?
Verizon has never given me any coverage issues. Even when traveling across country. Sure…in small parts of desolate Texas you may lose a signal…but usually it comes back because the town you were in only had a population of 6. The only reason I left Verizon was the nickel and dime treatment I got. They became too expensive and didn't offer near as much as their competitors(Sprint, T-Mobile) for the price. I guess you get what you pay for if actually making a call is important.
Bottom Line: Verizon has the best coverage in the Houston area but cost more. Sprint and ATT both offer unlimited calling to any mobile phone on any network. Will T-Mobile and Verizon Follow?
I am with Sprint now. Honestly I have no major complaints with them. They have been the least expensive carrier and offer the most for your money(Free Mobile to Mobile on any Network, Calls after 7pm are free and Free Navigation). They don't have the best coverage but for me they have worked fairly well in the Houston area. Sure I may run into some weak zones…but not very often. I was weary to change hearing how bad they were in the past but no issues so far.
Bottom Line: Sprint has improved a lot over the years. They are not perfect and don't have near the amount of coverage as someone such as Verizon and AT&T. My only beef with them is they are CDMA like Verizon and don't travel internationally as well as someone such as T-Mobile and AT&T(GSM). AT&T and T-Mobile can also easily change phones by simply inserting a Sim card. This is nice when you want to use the same phone on the another carrier or buy a replacement on eBay. Many people have jail-broken their i-Phones and used them on T-Mobile. Yes…I know this can now be done with Verizon's i-Phone too. I assume it's a little more complicated though. Overall Sprint is still the winner thus far while still offering unlimited data. AT&T has their 2G limits for some, 4G for others and unlimited only for grandfathered people. Verizon is going to a tiered data plan this summer 2011. Sorry new subscribers…maybe you will get grandfathered like AT&T did? T-Mobile does have something close offering 1500 minutes with unlimited data and text for $79.99 which matches the Sprint smart phone plan. Overall though Sprint wins by the unlimited mobile to mobile on any network and calls before 7pm are free.
Overall I guess it's up to you, where you live, how much data you use and where your dollar lies.

Sheikh Riyâd al-Musaymîrî, professor at al-Imâm University in Riyadh
We appreciate your concern for Allah's book.
You have said that the Qur'ân was revealed by verses and not by chapters. This is not always true. There are some chapters which were revealed as a whole, such as Sûrah al-Fâtihah, many of the short chapters, Sûrah al-An`âm, and others.
It was related that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) had a nap then woke up smiling.
The Companions asked him: "What has made you smile, O Messenger of Allah?"
He said: "A chapter was just revealed to me: 'To you have We granted the abundance. Therefore to your Lord turn in prayer and sacrifice. For indeed he who hates you will be cut off (from future hope).' " [Sûrah al-Kawthar]
The arranging of the verses into their chapters was most definitely carried out by the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself and not according to people's whims and predilections. The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to inform his scribes where to place each verse.

Is Emmy winner Julie Bowen too skinny?
In this Emmys red carpet 2011 photo, Julie Bowen wears a gorgeous beaded gown, which reveals her ultra skinny body. Too thin?
Bowen's plunging v-neckline only accentuates her bony physique, showing off her skeletal chest. And those arms? So muscular that she's fast approaching scary "Madonna arms" territory.
Bowen told People.com earlier in the week: "I'm built like a 14-year-old boy. I have no waist so anything I wear has to have a lot of trickeration going on. I don't fit into girl dresses. I can't just slip it on."
Julie Bowen doesn't have curves and she's definitely thin… but is she too thin?
We can't help but think that her dress' plunging neckline didn't help much.

A continuous enclosure of glass tubes with different finishes and density degrees completely surrounds the prismatic upper part of the building. This façade, interrupted only by some narrow slits that, just like terraces, get into the offices, has a multiple task, and gets specialized according to the different orientations. This way, the meridional façade is proposed mainly by vacuum tubes to capture solar energy. The north orientation requires a more neutral and transparent solution. 10% of them incorporate lighting, changing with the light conditions.
The 1.5 meter tubes, give a unique image to the building, an abstract view where only the openings in the façade give a sense of its true scale.

The race involved the Paris-Innsbruck section of the Paris-Vienna race. Its strongest test came just before the end when the cars had to cross the Murderous Arlberg pass described in The Automotor Journal in these forbidding tones:
"There were gutters you could bury a man in, hundreds of them crossing the road at right angles: it would be a trial of springs as well as motors. Ridges, too, that lent more than a suggestion of the steeplechase, reared their crests across the way. For scores of miles, particularly in the high Arlberg country, six thousand feet above sea level, the road hung on the brink of fearsome precipices. Ruts and loose stones abounded in the Austrian section of the course."
This relatively light car was the sole survivor in its class able to reach Innsbruck and so claim the trophy. Its green color henceforth became known as "British Racing Green". It took more than two decades before Great Britain was once again on the top rung of international motoring with the victory by Segrave in the French Grand Prix of 1923.

It was only 8 a.m., but the narrow streets of Hanoi's Old Quarter were churning with motorbikes and bicycles, the sidewalks crowded with people eating rice-noodle soup. As my friend Amy and I made our way down Hang Gai Street, we were tempted by stuffed banana leaves, longans, and dragon fruits. But we had set out that morning to satisfy our wardrobes, not our palates.
This was my first trip to Asia, and I intended to follow the advice of a friend from New York: "Start your trip at the tailor's." Seduced by the vibrant colors of Maggie Cheung's glamorous wardrobe in Wong Kar-Wai's movie In the Mood for Love, I wanted a fitted cheongsam of my own. I'd brought magazine clippings of modern Suzy Wong—style dresses and also several pieces of clothing I planned on having copied.
Anyone who had visited Vietnam raved about the workmanship and quality of clothing they'd found there. "The dresses that sell for hundreds of dollars in SoHo boutiques look like the lining of the ones I get custom-made in Vietnam," said Ellen Kaplowitz, a travel photographer.
Amy and I hired a guide to take us shopping—a common practice in Asia—and to show us around Hanoi. Assuming that we, like many of his other clients, were looking for a Western shopping experience, he led us to Khaisilk, a large store catering to foreign visitors. We'd been hoping to find a family-run workshop filled with handmade clothing. Instead, we were besieged by robotic saleswomen who steered us toward ready-to-wear items.
Still, I liked the store's samples of handsewn cheongsams, so I decided to have one made there. During my fitting, I began to understand the lure of tailoring. I felt transformed, as though I'd slipped into someone else's shoes—someone with a much bigger budget than mine. Meanwhile, Amy wandered down the street, trying to find someone to copy a $450 Mayle handbag she had coveted back home, a flat rectangular fabric bag that would have been simple enough to duplicate had she brought one with her to show. This was how she stumbled upon Thuy Ky, a shop packed with bolts of fabric in brilliant hues. Ao dais (tunics with loose-fitting silk pants) and hand-stitched silk shirts with mandarin collars and frog closures hung on the walls.

It's a sobering statistic that may surprise many parents and teachers: as many as 40 percent of teens (male and female) have been in physically abusive relationships, and the figure is even higher for those who say they've been in an emotionally abusive relationship (up to 96 percent).
Christie Rizzo, PhD, a child psychologist with the Bradley/Hasbro Children's Research Center and an active researcher on adolescent dating violence, says that many parents are in the dark about their child's situation because teens are very good at hiding the signs of abuse. However, just because they may not see outward signs of violence, there are a number of other warning signs that parents can look for.
"Depression is strongly associated with dating violence, so if your teen is doing poorly in school or isolating themselves from their friends, these may indicate that he or she is in an unhealthy relationship," says Rizzo.
Sometimes, teens may not even realize they're experiencing early signs of abuse. A predominant indicator of an abusive relationship is extreme jealousy, but adolescents new to romantic relationships may equate jealousy with love, and think jealousy is a good thing.
"If you notice that your teen is constantly responding (by phone, text messages, or on the computer) to their partner because of fear of what will happen if they don't respond right away, if your teen is handing over Facebook and AIM passwords to their partner so he/she can keep track of their social networking activity, or if your teen has isolated themselves from friends to devote time to the partner; these are good markers that something is not right," says Rizzo.
Rizzo maintains that the most important thing for parents is to have an ongoing dialogue with their teen.
"Kids are so inexperienced with dating, they don't recognize that a partner 's extreme jealousy is a form of abuse, so if you encourage an open and ongoing dialogue, you're more likely to have your teen report to you," she says.
For parents who might not know where to start, Rizzo suggests they begin by talking about what is healthy in a relationship versus what is not.
"Kids need to hear from their parents that their partner should not be controlling their behavior, and that jealousy is not a sign of love, but of psychological abuse," she says; "modeling a healthy romantic relationship at home helps too."
Another tactic is to encourage teens to date in groups and to have an exit strategy if they get in an uncomfortable situation.
"Parents and teachers can help teens understand that drinking and drugs make people more vulnerable to sexual violence, and also make it clear that you can be raped by someone you're in a relationship with," says Rizzo.
However, parents should also realize that breaking off an abusive relationship can be very difficult for a teenager.
"First of all, adolescents may interpret the jealousy and controlling behavior in their partner as a sign that they're loved, secondly, there's an enormous amount of peer pressure for teens to be dating and in a relationship, and third of all, teens are scared that if they leave the relationship, they won't find anyone else," explains Rizzo.
Often teens may try to end a relationship but go right back so parents have the added responsibility of helping their child keep firm in his or her decision, and stay away from the abusive partner.
Rizzo explains that dating violence often involves mutual abuse; both boys and girls each are perpetrators and victims, though girls are more likely to have the serious injuries because they're typically smaller and weaker than boys.
"A good percentage of the time, females are violent because they're engaging in a self-defense response, but sometimes they're violent towards a partner, and thus more hesitant to leave the relationship or talk about the abuse because they think 'well it's my fault because I hit him too, so I don't want him to get in trouble,' she says.
According to Rizzo, the key to stopping dating violence is to talk about it. Teens may be experiencing psychological violence and not put it in the same level of seriousness as physical abuse, but data show that a victim of psychological abuse is more likely to experience physical violence down the road.
"It's alarming how prevalent it is, and it's an especially important issue to discuss with adolescents because they don't have much experience with relationships," says Rizzo.

Officers arrest five people as part of a coordinated prostitution sting in Pismo Beach and Grover Beach.
Police officers from Pismo Beach and Grover Beach, along with a San Luis Obispo District Attorney Investigator conducted a sting on Sunday, designed to target prostitution.
Investigators say they contacted several subjects using phone numbers listed on Web sites like Craiglist and in newspaper advertisements commonly used to solicit prostitution. Those subjects were then asked to come to two separate hotels, one in Pismo Beach and another in Grover Beach. That's where officers say undercover investigators and surveillance equipment were waiting. Four women and one male were arrested.
Detectives said the sting came about after they received a tip. " The police department had received information about prostitution going on in the area. We also read an online poll on one of the specific websites stating that Pismo Beach is one of the best places to participate in prostitution," said Pismo Beach Police detective Chris Trimble.
Investigators said four people were arrested and booked in to the San Luis Obispo County jail in connection to the prostitution sting. They were identified as Dianna Rocha, Robyn Nava, Audrianna Powell and Charles Taylor.
A fifth person, Danielle Hoover, was arrested then cited and released from the Grover Beach Police Department.
If you have information about suspected prostitution in your area, please call your local police department or Crime Stoppers at 805-549-STOP.

"You are in danger of rushing something that needs to be taken slowly. Yes, okay, you may have slipped behind a bit in your schedule but is it really that important? Probably not. Take your time and get it right." — My horoscope (Scorpio) on Sunday October 24th
I'm not always the most patient person. On Sunday, the day that I read the horoscope above — which I then photographed with my iPhone for safe keeping because it resonated that much — I made butternut squash soup and adapted the recipe to include caramelized onions. If you've ever attempted to make caramelized onions, you know they take an insane amount of patience. When you've gotten to the point where you think they're done, that they've reached the ultimate level of sweet brown deliciousness, chances are, they need another 10 minutes more. I never ever give them enough time. Keep reading »

"We really loved this recipe. It's a bit of a job to make, but delicious.

"I made these for a high school parent/student pot luck dinner and it was a big hit. I brought a double recipe and there wasn't a bit left over. I used chicken breast, but instead in plain water, I used chicken broth. Made the meat very tender and added nice flavor directly to the meat."
"This recipe is outstanding. So easy and incredibly flavorful. We'll definitely be making this one again and again."
"This was a bit hit with everyone and was pretty easy to make. I put each of the ingredients, even the eggs into separate large ziploc bags and moved the zucchini slices from one bag to the next. Worked like a charm without being too messy. And the garlic dip is amazing! Don't skip it. It takes about two minutes to mix and makes the dish. My family..."
"This rating is for the creamy chili sauce only. I was looking for the Outback style dip to go with fried zucchini. This did not taste anything like the Outback's dip. It was just okay, but I won't be making it again. Plus, the measurements here would make a TON of the stuff. I made a quarter of the recipe and still have quite a bit left over."
"I think the jelling problems people are having are coming from a missing step in the recipe that's causing too much watermelon and liquid to end up in the final mixture. I started with the 4 cups of melon called for, seeded, then blended the fruit as written. I then poured the puree into a jelly bag and let it drip into a pot (undisturbed) for 30 ..."

Many moons ago our firm had created a number of white papers for hardware companies around the concept of the real-time enterprise. Many of the devices we used as examples, which we believed at the time could meet this vision, were lumped into a category called UMPC (ultra mobile personal computer).
OQO, for example, was one of the early companies leading this charge of devices. This term is long gone, of course. But in the age of smart phones and tablets we may now see this vision of the real time enterprise re-emerge.
It is important to keep in mind that the reason enterprises and other business were interested in the UMPC concept for their most mobile workers was due to these small, portable devices' ability to run full versions of Windows. This capacity made it possible for existing proprietary Windows software that these organizations created for their mobile workers to run without being ported.
With the rise of mobile apps, and the web having evolved significantly since then, it has become much easier for organizations to create light-weight hooks that manifest themselves in the form of apps or web apps. These hooks present any and all relevant data to a business's critical mobile work force.
The vision we painted for the real time enterprise was based around decision making. The premise was that if key decision makers had access to critical information that was updated in real time, it would have profound impacts on efficiency.
For example if the CFO had real time access to sales figures as they are reported in real time by the mobile sales force, he would have the most accurate financial data at any given second.
Real-time information and "glanceable data"
In a recent conversation we had with Oliver Bussmann, CIO of SAP he gave us this quote: "Mobile apps and real-time information will drive new behaviors for decision making."
Getting analytical data and corporate information in what he calls "glanceable data" translates into fast decision making. This is exactly the vision we painted with the real-time enterprise. We are seeing this vision take shape and tablets are leading the way.
This "glanceable" data idea may be perhaps the most disruptive use case for tablets in the real time enterprise. The ability to look at what is basically a "dashboard" for your business that includes financial, marketing, customer, service data, and more could be the sweet spot for the tablet form-factor.
The tablet represents the UMPC concept in a way those devices and something like a laptop never could. Think about how you use a laptop: It is always sitting and at arm's length.
With a tablet you can move around, stand up, walk around, and genuinely be mobile and still be computing. This is why it's clear to me that the tablet represents a mobile computer in the purest definition of the word, and is therefore the best product for the job in the real-time enterprise.
The consumerizaton of RTE?
There is another point that is interesting beyond just "glanceable data" in the real-time enterprise.
Quite often I can see a use case where after glancing at data one may need to drill down to specific information as an executive analyzes what they're seeing.
Again, the notebook or PC would be fine for that use case but because tablets contain significant processing power, they provide the added benefit of being able to go deeper and crunch more data (assuming the software allows).
Touch computing, however, is the real differentiator between tablets and traditional PCs. This new UI and software paradigm opens doors to the real-time enterprise in terms of convenience, speed, ease of use, and more. It validates both the form-factor and touch computing itself as an ideal match for the RTE.
Believe it or not this value proposition does not stop with enterprises or even small business. In fact, our initial vision at Creative Strategies included consumers.
Consumers will similarly want access to information in real-time related to their own personal or social lives, or perhaps even as it relates to managing a family.
"Glanceable data" related to family calendars, to-do lists, financial information, and more, all become important bits of data for consumers as well. This, in essence for consumers, becomes "the real time life."
Of course the use cases for consumers and enterprises will be different when it comes to what information is essential for specific decisions, but I remain convinced the tablet form factor is the best suited device in terms of form-factor, processing power, and touch computing.
Embracing the real time-enterprise vision and integrating tablets as a key part of that strategy could become an incredible differentiator for many businesses. And as an added benefit, they will even look cool in the process.

We are renovating a house with dated, varnished wood trim throughout. We'd like to paint the trim (BM White Dove). Question: do we truly have to sand down all the trim throughout the house, or can we get away with painting over the varnish? The guys who are refinishing our hardwood floors told us that we could probably get away with doing an oil-based primer followed by latex paint WITHOUT sanding, but I don't want to regret this. If we have no choice but to sand, what's the best way to go about it? |

Don't listen to the hardwood floor finishers. :) The trim only needs to be clean and dull. That means wash it with Dirtex and a light sanding with #220 sandpaper, followed by a good vacuuming and then acrylic latex primer. BM Fresh Start is a good choice. Since the trim is stained, you will need to caulk all gaps along walls/baseboard; casing trim and walls, casing trim and jambs, etc. Caulk after the primer has dried. Apply two coats of your favorite acrylic enamel paint. |
