This is great news for the Town of Paradise. As a resident, with a young family, I am delighted to finally see some infrastructure to support the health and wellness of its people.....Hopefully with continued growth in the town and additional funding we will see the necessary ammenities to properly support a young population. A Fire Department is in the works....keep it coming!!!

I'm to the point now where I can't even read the comments on these articles anymore. People will complain about ANYTHING. No matter what kind of good news the Telegram delivers somebody will always get on here complaining about it.

I live in Paradise and I would have rather seen the money go towards a Fire Dept over a double ice rink! If we had to put something like this in Paradise, why did it have to be two rinks? Why couldn't it have had a pool? Maybe the priorities are focused elsewhere.

Nice to know the people in Paradise can play hockey while others have to look for a job, or boil their water, or travel 2 hours to school etc etc. I think govt has lost sight of what is important.

Obviously Robb, you don't work with government or are you a political appointment? There are alot of families struggling to find jobs and keep a roof over their heads because of the cuts. I'm sure they're not too concerned about an arena at this point in time. Maybe you're just one of those "rink rats" with nothing else to do!

Now, where are all the naysayers.........I can't wait to see all the comments like, oh they can put money into this, but they lay off some public sector workers......anything good like this infrastructure has to be turned into something bad by the ndp and liberals....there is no way that they could mutter the words, hey good job govt......but, small minds can never see the big picture.

EUROPE London Henri Rousseau: Jungles in Paris Tate Modern (Nov. 3Feb. 5). The exotic dreams of a retired customs official who never left France, Rousseau's jungle paintings rank among the best-loved Modernist works. This exhibition gathers an unprecedented collection of his large-scale canvases, in which tigers romp beneath hibiscus flowers. Paris Klimt, Schiele, Moser, Kokoschka. Vienna 1900 Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais (Oct. 5Jan. 23). This show of four fin-de-siècle Viennese artists and designers, whose work is known for its frank eroticism, exemplifies the intertwining of art and life in the fertile cultural metropolis. Dada Centre Pompidou (Oct. 5Jan. 9). Born from the ashes of the First World War, Dadaism pronounced an end to all established hierarchies and accepted ideas. The interdisciplinary exhibition brings together more than 1,000 works, from paintings to photomontages, sound poems, and films. Berlin BrückeThe Birth of German Expressionism Berlinische Galerie (Oct. 1Jan. 15). This show is the highlight in a series of exhibitions marking the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Brücke, the artists' collective whose oeuvre, from dreamy rural idylls to vibrant Berlin streetscapes, made German painting new again. UNITED STATES New York Fra Angelico Metropolitan Museum of Art (Oct. 26Jan. 29). The Dominican friar's musical cherubim, and Madonnas in celestial blues and golds, earned him the sobriquet the Angelic Painter shortly after his death in 1455. The first major show devoted to his art in half a century includes paintings, drawings, and manuscripts. Also at the Metropolitan, Vincent van Gogh: The Drawings (Oct. 18Dec. 31) brings together more than 100 works that provide a rare view into the draftsmanship developed by the brilliant artist during his brief career. Russia! Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (Sept. 16Jan. 12). The exclamation point is justified: this spectacular survey comprising nine centuries of Russian art—along with Western masterworks in Russian collections—is jammed with seldom-seen treasures, from 15th-century icons by Andrey Rublyov to Kazimir Malevich's Black Square (circa 1930). Sarah Bernhardt: The Art of High Drama Jewish Museum (Dec. 2April 2). One of the first truly modern celebrities, the Divine Sarah is the focus of a retrospective that showcases her extraordinary talents as a tragedienne and muse, in addition to her role as the first major actress to appear on film (in 1900). The Imagery of Chess Revisited Noguchi Museum (Oct. 21March 5). Marcel Duchamp famously gave up art to play chess; the game also exerted its allure on a generation of Surrealists and fellow travelers, as this re-creation of a legendary 194445 exhibition from Julian Levy's New York gallery makes clear. Chess sets and chess-inspired works by luminaries including Noguchi, Duchamp, Calder, and Giacometti are the focus. Chicago Tropicália Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (Oct. 22Jan. 8). The hybrid 1960's brand of Brazilian Modernism known as tropicalismo—which takes its name from an interactive installation by artist Hélio Oiticica—is explored in a show that traces the revolutionary movement's impact on the visual arts, music, theater, and film and its continuing legacy for today's artists and designers. Houston Andrea Zittel: Critical Space Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (Oct. 1Jan. 1). This is a comprehensive survey of work by an influential young artist whose psychologically suggestive and quirkily minimalist designs for "living units" and personal uniforms are a response to both Western life and the constraints of urban living. Los Angeles Masters of American Comics Hammer Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles (Nov. 20March 12). Krazy Kat meets Maus in an exhibition showcasing 15 cartoonists from the past century—Lyonel Feininger to Charles Schulz to R. Crumb—whose comic strips and books helped shape a major American art form. CANADA Montreal Right Under the Sun: Landscape in Provence, from Classicism to Modernism Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (Sept. 22Jan. 8). Provence was a cradle of modern art, inspiring Cézanne, van Gogh, and a horde of Post-Impressionists, but this show reaches back further, to find the roots of the region's aesthetic allure in 18th-century Arcadian and Italianate landscapes and the 19th-century fascination with Marseilles, gateway to "the Orient."
UNITED STATES Fall marks the opening of a number of new institutions—some off the beaten path—designed by leading architects. Williamstown, Mass. The '62 Center for Theatre & Dance at Williams College (www.williams.edu/go/62center), named for the graduating class that initiated fund-raising for the $50 million building, will provide state-of-the-art facilities and, in summer, will be home to the Williamstown Theatre Festival. The center, designed by William Rawn, architect of Seiji Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood in nearby Lenox, includes three theaters, a dance rehearsal studio, and a striking glass lobby with a Douglas firclad canopy that peeks above its limestone exterior. A performance of Tall Horse by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company launches the festivities on September 30, to be followed by Songs of Innocence and Experience by Broadway composer and lyricist (and Williams alum) William Finn (Oct. 78); and the New York City Ballet (Oct. 9). Durham, N.C. Raymond D. Nasher, the Texas philanthropist who previously commissioned Italian architect Renzo Piano to create the restrained and refined building that now houses his sculpture collection in Dallas, has lent his name to an art museum at his alma mater, Duke University. Rafael Viñoly designed the Nasher Museum of Art (www.nasheratduke.org) with five concrete pavilions that fan out around a glassed-in central courtyard. Adjacent are the popular Sarah P. Duke Gardens. The museum opens October 2 with the exhibition "The Forest: Politics, Poetics, and Practice," which explores the worlds of forests in contemporary art through the work of Petah Coyne, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, and others—a fitting focus, given the Nasher's wooded setting. Minneapolis Michael Graves's renovation and expansion of the Children's Theatre Company (www.childrenstheatre.org), North America's biggest theatrical venue for youngsters, is the first of an unprecedented number of projects being inaugurated in 200506 by the city's cultural institutions: others include the expansion of the Guthrie Theater by Jean Nouvel and a new central library by Cesar Pelli. The revamped children's theater complex includes the new Cargill Stage, which will open with the American premiere of The Cat's Journey, a puppet play adapted from the popular Swedish story Kattresan. Performances begin October 4. EUROPE Bern, Switzerland The Paul Klee Zentrum (www.paulkleezentrum.ch), an $87 million complex devoted to the Swiss artist, opened its doors on June 20. Renzo Piano wanted to celebrate Klee as "a poet of stillness," so he designed a serene but striking building with three towering steel arches and glass façades that create an undulating wave above the A6 motorway east of Bern. At the heart of the center are 4,000 paintings, watercolors, and drawings—an estimated 40 percent of Klee's work—as well as his archives. There are also a state-of-the-art concert hall and a children's mini-museum.

It is not all that it is hyped up to be. Did you ever get to ride Alien Encounter?
Could anyone just tell me some details on what "Stitch's Great Escape" is like? Last time I went to WDW in summer '04, it was still in the works. I'd rather know what happens at the attraction before even getting on it and getting scared the daylight out of me of not knowing. If anyone has the details about this attraction, I'd appreciate that. If you don't want the whole world to know, just send a private message. Thanks and have a great day!
What will YOU celebrate?

Its worse than alien encounter in that it is very scared down. If u dont put ur head back, its like ur in a room that gets dark and a creature is seen then not seen. The preshow is kinda cute but thats it
... It looks like we'll be missing that then!!!

It isn't as "scary" as the Alien Encounter, but it is along the same lines as far as what and how things happen. Let's put it this way....we had FP's for it and when we went back later the line wasn't that long so we went right in, we never ended up using our FP's to see it again and do not plan on ever seeing it again. It is the only thing at WDW that I have no desire to ever do again. That being said....I feel that everyone should experience everything at least once and draw their own conclusion!
So pretty much, it's not much different from Alien Encounter. He still comes around & so? I never have been on Alien Encounter, it's bad enough on "Honey! I Shrunk The Audience" attraction where the mice come out, but I can deal w/ that (I've always had the technique of tucking my legs in and putting the booksack in front me or just not going on the attraction at all if I can avoid it). Thanks to everyone who responded. I'll make sure to notify my family about it. THANKS!!!

Hey I like Stitch Great Escape I will agree it is very scared down a lot. I think because it Stitch and not some creature coming around and scaring you half to death. But I liked it. The Stitch look so real it took my BF a few seconds to realize that there was no little person in a Stitch costume and that he was AA figure. But I say go judge for yourself you may or may not like it.
Everyone has thier likes and dislikes.
I just love World of Warcraft.
I dont see what the Big Venom that everybody has against Stitch. Ailen Encounter was a great scary dark attraction. When i worked down there, i would go on it once or twice a week, just to see the reactions of the guests. I had a buddy that worked Tomorrowland attractions, but she usually worked Space Mtn. When she got the opportunity, she would work over there, and loved the gangway sequence, where you walk above the guests. I always wanted to do that...
That being said, I like the new attraction. they certainly lessend the scare factor, and made it kind of cute. the Stitch AA is Awesome, IMHO the best AA on property. things change down there folks, we'd be upset if Disney didnt put in new and exciting things from time to time. they cant go and add new buildings to the parks everytime a new attraction is warranted, so things must go. Hey, I was ****** when Toad left Fantasyland... it was the first ride i ever remember going on, and i was hoping to put my kids on it some day (thank god he's still at Disneyland). but my kids will love Pooh's ride (in fact, i took my 16 month old this past Sept, and she loved it... she yelled "whee" the whole time.) the time may come 30 years from now when Pooh has to go to make way for soem other creature yet to be created, and folks will be ****** to see that one go...
Treat Stitch like a new attraction, and you wont be dissapointed.
oh, and BTW... they best be glad they didnt remove Skippy... I would have gone postal if they had. i am mad that they dont sell Skippy Merchandise anymore, anybody else?
I have another question: Does Stitch come out and "touch" you? I know he spits on you (saw that on the WDW Christmas thanks to Kelly Ripa). I'm not against it, but I'm chicken when it comes to rides that have air "touching" you. Thanks!!
What will YOU celebrate?

No, stitch never "touches you" he might jump on your head (you can feel the shoulder bar thingie press on your shoulders) but that's it. Oh, & he burps, which is very disgusting!!!
"What ARRRRGH you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
"No, What ARRRRGH you doing?"Cap'n Jack lives again!"I'll try anything once or twice, that's the kind of mouse I am"
It's made so it feels like he's stepping on your shoulders trying to escape.( a very mild up& down of the shoulder restraints)
The kids & I thought it was a pretty tame & mild attraction. The animatronic stitch is really, really good to watch though!
Give it a try.

Password Science
So what makes a good password? Using upper and lower cases, symbols, and numbers does matter. These tactics increase entropy (a measure of how random and guessable your passwords are), as well as the time it takes for a program to crack your password with brute force. The password ninja, for example, could be cracked by software in just 0.000124 seconds. N!nj4 is an improvement at 2.98 months for an online attack or 0.0782 seconds offline, but those times are probably an overstatement, because hackers are on to our predictable patterns. (You can check your passwords' "crackability" at security firm Gibson Research Corporation's site by clicking Password Haystacks at grc.com.)
To make a password more secure, add those special characters in unpredictable places and increase the length, which is the most important factor in password strength. For example, ninja!!!!!!! (12 characters, with one repeated special character) would take 5.75 hundred million centuries in an online attack and 5.75 centuries offline, despite being all lowercase and lacking numbers. So when picking a password with up to 14 characters allowed, use all 14 characters.
The No. 1 password rule, though, is to use a unique password for each of your log-ins. Brandon Gregg, the senior global investigations manager at Seagate Technology, explains: "A unique password is hard to crack and hard to hack even if it's leaked by one website."
This brings us to another challenge: We use a lot of password-protected online services. It seems like a herculean task to come up with a strong and unique password for each oneand remember them all.
There are two schools of thought on this problem. You can use a password management tool, such as LastPass or KeePass, to generate a long, complex password for each site and remember every one for you, leaving you with only one (hopefully very secure) master password to recall. Or you can use a unique pass phrase for each of your log-ins, avoiding the off-chance that you completely lock yourself out of all of your accounts if you forget the master password.
Using a pass phrase of random words, such as correcthorsebatterystaple (as popularized by the xkcd Web comic) is significantly harder for a computer to guess than something like Tr0ub4dor&3while also being easy for a human to memorize.
For a pass phrase to be effective, though, it needs to be not only long and memorable, but also difficult to guess by others (even those who know you). That means generating random pass phrases (using a tool like Diceware or the xkcd Password Generator) or picking arbitrary words (as arbitrary as your subconscious allows). You can make a pass phrase even more secure by adding special characters, as in c0rrecthorseb@tterystaplE. To account for the need to have a unique phrase for each site, include a clue to the site name. For example, for Facebook, c0rrecthorsebatterystaplE@zuck; for Gmail, c0rrecthorsebatterystaplE@envelope.
Password managers offer some convenience, such as auto-filling forms for you and generating and managing a ton of truly random passwords. But if you don't have access to the app or can't remember the master key, you can't log in, and if the password-manager database is hacked, all of your passwords are now offered up on a plate.
Of the available password managers, KeePass offers the highest level of security, in our view. The free, open-source database works offline and offers a variety of security features such as a key file, a master password in a digital file stored on your hard drive, and protection of that password against dictionary attacks. When you use a key file in addition to a manually entered password, it adds two-factor authentication, combining something you have (the key file) with something you know (the password). It doesn't, however, sync your passwords across all your devices. For that, look to an online option such as LastPass, which offers two-factor authentication and great ease of use (with the tradeoff of your passwords being stored, albeit encrypted, in the cloud).
Beyond the Basics
Beyond the password there are other things you can do to add security and protect yourself against anyone who is actively trying to steal your data. First, lie on security questions so that easy-to-find personal information about you doesn't allow a hacker to reset your password. Instead of revealing the actual street you lived on as a child, for example, misspell it in some way you'll remember but others couldn't guess, or use the street name of your childhood best friend.
Additionally, turn on two-factor authentication wherever possible, especially for bank and email accounts, your password manager, and online storage sites. Two-factor authentication requires you to enter both a user name and password and, often, a unique code. When logging in to a site with two-factor authentication, such as Gmail, you'll type in your password and then be prompted to enter a code, which is sent to a designated phone number and refreshes every 10 or so seconds. To get into your email using a mobile app, you can request the site to generate a password for you that you just need to enter once.
One day we may no longer have to jump through all these hoops to protect ourselves. Everyone seems to be interested in solving the password mess, from Google to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which is offering $10 million in grants for developers to come up with alternatives to password authentication. Even Ford (yes, the car company) is working on it, with a Chrome extension that automatically logs you in to sites when your phone is near your computer and backs out when you leave. If all else fails, there's potential in our brains: Researchers are working on training systems that teach humans to store random 30-character passwords in their subconscious. Now that's a smart password manager.

Today's Tuesday with Tulsa blog post comes to us from Kyla S., a sophomore speech pathology major from Houston, Texas.
At the start of each school year, Student Association hosts a campus-wide activities fair for students to sign up for the various clubs that may spark their interest, grab a free t-shirt, and even a delicious snow cone (or two). As students congregate at the fair and listen to the latest pop chart hits, they also have the opportunity to speak with representatives from clubs about their goals and purpose. I proudly stood at my table as a representative of the ABC. I spent all weekend creating a table runner made of traditional kente clothe, something I recently pinned on my DIY Pinterest board!!! It turned out amazing and really put the finishing touch on our African themed table.
So what exactly is ABC? ABC stands for Association of Black Collegians, an organization on campus that strives to create a support base for African-American and minority students on campus, through providing activities for all students that promote harmony and understanding of black culture and all other cultures of the world. Before you ask, no, ABC is not just for black students. We strongly encourage diversity and membership amongst ALL students.

Academic Claims That Moses Was Tripping On Drugs When He Received The 10 Commandments
Daily Mail - When Moses received the Ten Commandments from God, he was summoned right to the top of Mount Sinai. But the man who led the Children of Israel to safety may have been even higher at the time, if an Israeli academic is to be believed. Psychology professor Benny Shanon says it was likely Moses was hallucinating under the influence of a mind-altering drug at the time of his biblical achievements. Taking the tablets: Professor Benny Shanon says it was likely Moses (here portrayed by Charlton Heston) was hallucinating when he received the Ten Commandments To back up his theory, Professor Shanon says the acacia tree, frequently mentioned in the Bible, contains one of the most psychedelic substances known to man. The professor, who came up with his theory after experiencing firsthand the effects of a hallucinogenic brew used in religious rituals in Brazil, said the story of Moses and the burning bush also had the hallmarks of a psychedelic experience. The account in the Book of Exodus of the bush's ability to burn without being "consumed" is generally attributed to the presence and power of God. Professor Shanon told Israeli radio: "As far as Moses on Mount Sinai is concerned, it was either a supernatural cosmic event, which I don't believe, or a legend, which I don't believe either, or finally, and probable, an event that joined Moses and the people of Israel under the effect of narcotics."
Whats more plausible? A mythical wizard in the sky descended from a magical paradise in the clouds with 2 stone tablets of rules? Or Moses and company was tripping balls? Talkin about burning bushes and do unto others. Sounds like fuckin Woodstock but instead of happening in the 60s it happened in the book of Exodus. Surprised there wasn't an 11th Commandment about everyone fucking each other.

Wow! I really wish that one woulda made it... so cool. I haven't jumped on any shirts recently but I'm still in for two of these because I cant resist cats and robots enjoying friendship together.
It's like Wes Anderson made a sci-fi movie. :D Go Robbie!
Yes! Congrats, Robbie!! I can't think of anything better on a Monday morning than a Robbie robot.
Hey everyone! Thanks a ton for printing this one, woot. I can't wait to wear it, since I like robots and cats. Well, I don't know if I really like cats that much anymore so much as I'm just surrounded by them (we have four). Anyways, this design started off as a drawing I made with my 1 yr old son, but then I liked the idea so much I made a small post card sized painting of it. I know it's not terribly sophisticated stylistically, but the farther I got from the folk art/ simple style, the less the design worked. Also: I know this seems a little late to the cat shirt game, but I actually made and subbed this design almost 6 months ago- it just took a while to make its way through the pipeline. Finally: Thanks for the great comments, everyone. I've got a couple of other robot designs in the pipeline, so plz follow my facebook page for updates...
The plot was stolen from Clifford D. Simak's "City" (1950). Only in "City", it was dogs that the robots served once humans abandoned Earth.

Okay, just a bit of curiosity here... What's up with shirt.woot and people loving cats? Is shirt.woot anti-dog? What about those that are allergic to cats and hate them with a vengence? I'm thinking maybe shirt.woot's advertising team may be targeting cat lovers and ruling out the dog lovers because there are cat shirts on all the time. ;) Sincerely, allergic to kitties and glad of it.

I don't know of anyone around here that dislikes dogs. Personally, I'd love to see a cute dog design. Maybe cats are easier to work into some themes than others. I honestly don't know. Perhaps real artists can chime in. ;) ps. cute design today.

Haha, this thread has more comments than shirts sold. I did think the writeup was funny. It reminded me of Wall-E.

The Bondi Vet host spent almost a year on the market after a "painful" break up with the Packed to the Rafters star, but he's now ready to move on with the attractive Channel Nine reporter.
A source told TheFIX that the couple met at last year's Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival, before Roz took off for the summer to travel with the Australian Cricket team.
"Bondi Vet made a few special flights out of Sydney to meet up with her while she was interstate on tour," revealed the source.
The pair were also spotted together at some Nine News drinks at the Mosman hotel last month.
And may we just say, talk about hot couple — Roz and Chris are one good-looking duo!
Meanwhile, Zoe's been dating Dancing with the Stars host and ex-Neighbours hottie, Daniel Macpherson (see pic below).

Brainstorming in neuro pt - page 2
Neuro nurses. What do you know about brainstorming in neuro pt? I come from a hospital that called a state that the pt. was in where increase heart rate, almost convulsion looking state... Read More
0Jun 3, '12 by LionNurseThe patient i work for had a traumatic brain injury 5 years ago and goes though 'storming' everyday, still. HR 185, Decreased O2, Sweating, Spasms, Muscles Tightening up, Contractures...He has at least one a day, and sometimes when he gets sick it triggers a full on storming session that has lasted up to 25 hours.
0Jun 4, '12 by umcRNwe call it "neuro-storming" here. I have seen it once in a baby who had a severe hypoxic brain injury after prolonged cardiac arrest and resuscitation (i believe it lasted about 2 hours and he received approx 11 doses of EPI). Months after this event he lives in a constant storm. His mother refuses many medications that will stop the storming and he is constantly posturing, desatting, hypertensive, he is heartbreaking to see. As someone who knew him before the event I had a difficult time caring for him. He was trach/vent dependent before this code so he is in and out of the hospital with his family still holding hope for a recovery. It's absolutely distressing to witness but EEG's/neuro have confirmed that he is not seizing though that is what it looks like, unfortunately his family refuses most of the medications to stop the storming.
0Jul 14, '12 by canned_breadI have never witnessed this, but have heard of it. Does the patient loose consciousness, like a tonic clonic seizure, or can they be aware during the event?

Oh hey.
Is anyone else distracted by the weather these days? I just want to be outside laying in the sun! But, I was inside all day and I was super productive. I'm trying to plow through my work in hopes that I can leave my internship a couple of days early. We had four snow days this winter, so four more days have been added on to the end of the year. My goal is to be finished with everything by the original last day of school on June 17th.
Unfortunately, my productive day left me with a headache after work. I've been getting headaches a lot more frequently these days – usually two per week. I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe I'm stressed? I certainly don't feel any more stressed than I usually do, but I guess I do have the job search and moving in the back of my mind.
I managed 30 minutes on the elliptical and then I picked up my cap, gown, and hood! I thought by this point I might feel more emotional about graduation, but I don't. It's just not that exciting to graduate and then go back to my internship. It's hard to believe that I've spent almost as much time on a grad degree as I did in college. Three years is a long time, so I guess it's a big deal. I'm hoping it will feel more special when my family arrives.
Dinner was one of my favorites – peanut butter noodles. Matt and I both scarfed this down and then were sad when it was gone. I guess I'll be making this one sooner rather than later.
I hope yall are having fantastics weeks:) Goodnight friends.
Read MoreThe Beginning of the End
Hello, Hello,
I've had and wonderful weekend with lots of festivities. Sadly, I left my camera at a friend's house, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow for the full recap. Until then, I've leave you with the details of my Easter relaxation. Matt and I were planning to check out the Old South Church in the Back Bay, but after two very late nights in a row, we just didn't make it up and out the door in time for the Easter service. Oh well. We laid around and made chocolate cherry pancakes instead! And when I realized it was SEVENTY DEGREES outside, I knew an outdoor run was in order. By the time I got my act together though I wasn't really in the mood and Matt and I ended up only running for about 25 minutes and walking for another 45. All of Boston was brunching it on outdoor patios and there were tons of folks checking out all the flowers that have popped in the Boston Public Garden.
This afternoon, I threw together Angela's Butter Balls with some sunflower butter that's been in the fridge waaaay too long. I licked the spoon and I think they are going to turn out nicely. I'll let you know.
Easter dinner, aka pineapple pork, also bubbled all day long in the crockpot.
I used some local pork shoulder that was surprisingly well-priced from Whole Foods and followed the gist of this recipe (I subbed bbq sauce for soy sauce and flour for tapioca starch).
On the side, I made mashed sweet potatoes and roasted brussels.
Tonight's wine selection was also very special because my dad bought this bottle for us when we were visiting Sakonnet in Rhode Island last summer. It was even better than I remember…very fruity. I find fruity for me sometimes means weak, but not this one – it was full and bold.
I'm back to work tomorrow – being away from my internship for a week has made me realize just how much I'm ready to move on to a new chapter in my life. I was practically a different person this week and I think others around me noticed it too…
But, I only have eight more weeks to go, and I want to embrace the experience and try to be super productive in the coming month and a half. I really want to savor these eight weeks because May is a busy month and the move and the scary full-time job search will be here before I know it:/
Oh, and happy birthday to Ducky Younger!
Beach Break + Staycation
Thursday is a nice day. Something about being over the hump just brings anticipation and a little bit more productivity. I'm almost finished with a big report that's due the week after spring break, so I feel good about my work load. I've got two more evaluations on my to-do list for May and then I may only have one or two more after that! I'm going to let out a big sigh of relief when my last IEP meeting is complete.
After work, I headed to spinning and I just wasn't feeling it. The class didn't seem any more difficult than usual, but I was worn out by the time it ended and light-headed after my pushups. So I made a huge dinner consisting of my some of my favs. for re-nourishment.
Carolina rice, sweet potato pillows, black beans, banana peppers, salsa, spicy blue corn chips, and a dollop of tomato-basil yogurt.
Aside from a bad case of the old reflux, this was an incredible experience.
Tomorrow, my break begins. We're not doing anything too fancy. We're driving down to New Jersey to visit Matt's grandpa on Saturday and then we're spending two days at the beach. Though it will be too cold to do beachy stuff, a little shopping, eating, and relaxing should still do the trick. Not to mention I'll have 5 days off of work when I get back to Boston. Stay-cation. I'm pumped.
Anyone else on the school calender traveling for April break?
Read MoreAches + Pains
The sickness is back:( I woke up this morning feeling ten times worse than last week – with chills and aches in every single joint. I knew something was really off when I practically had to force down my gooey, sweet oatmeal. But, I had a busy day of work, so I zombied through the day anyway. I obviously took yet another day off from the gym as well as a long nap this afternoon. I was especially sad because I had plans to eat salad and drink wine with friends this evening and had to cancel. But, I did read a good chunk of my novel and had cereal and pb +j for dinner, which is always enjoyable.
On a lighter note, since I had an abundance of free time this evening, I had many thoughts, so I'll leave you with random ramblings:
- The sun is really getting strong these days and I just love it. Sometimes, when it comes through the window in our office, I think I start to sparkle like Edward Cullen
- Thanks for your comments on the tote; I think I'll see if they have it in the store before I make any decisions
- Why do I feel this way?
- I think I'm cheering for Butler in the final four
- I can't wait until the day when I have a grill in my backyard.
- I just keep discovering cool places, like this gas station turned beer garden in Durham, and I'm so pumped for the local food/beer scene. I'm totally into historic preservation.
- Oh, and there's a large mouse living in our office.
- Any news out there?
Back to It
Well, my body is back to normal, but I have a lovely runny nose…I'll take it! T'was another productive day at work. It looks like there might only be one more big wave of testing referrals before the end of the school year. Yippeeee.
I headed back to the gym today and got back in the kitchen! I went to a 5 o'clock spinning class, and although I opted to just go through the motions and not really push myself, I was still dripping by the end. I've been dreaming of the sauna all week and finally felt the moment was right to go after my workout. I think I lived in the desert in my past life, because it was just heavenly.
For dinner, I put some red potato wedges in the sauna and let them do their thing. They came out crispy on the outside and pillow-y on the inside. I need to buy these more often because they were much easier and better than using a regular potato to make fries.
The fish, on the other hand, didn't turn out so perfectly. I finally picked up some panko breadcrumbs, and I was very disappointed in them. I brushed cod filets with mustard and then dipped them in a mixture of lemon zest, parsley, salt, and breadcrumbs.

Elephant Dream Explanation
— Dream interpreters differ about what the
symbolizes in dreams. Some of them regard it as a gigantic foreign king, feared, cool, and heartless, but well trained in the arts of war and capable of lifting extraordinary weights. By contrast, others say it is a good and extremely tolerant, patient, and generous king. The
also symbolizes hardworking people or the working class, in view of its nature and hard tasks, the devout, the learned, and the noble. Certain interpreters feel it represents an obese woman or a cursed man, because it belongs to the category of those metaphor hosed by God, according to religious beliefs. A man told Ibn Siren he dreamed that he was riding an
, to which the great seer replied, "The
is not an animal that Muslims usually ride. I'm afraid you are no longer a Muslim." The
is also seen as something great and famous but useless, because people can neither eat its meat nor milk it. More, the
is said to be the animal of the Prince of the Inferno. Especially for women and for pious people, those who seek the Hereafter, the sight of an
never augurs well. It is not the same for worldly individuals.
• Eating
meat or taking any of its limbs, skin, or bones: Money from the ruler.
• Milking an elephant: Will outwit a foreign king and get his money through lawful means.
• Seeing an
and failing to ride it: Prestige and fortune will decline. Conversely, riding it, especially by night, means that the dreamer, if eligible, will triumph over a huge but niggardly king (or chief). If the dreamer is not eligible, the same dream would indicate that the dreamer will enter a war but be defeated or get killed in it, in view of the following verses in the Holy Quran: "Hast thou not seen how thy Lord dealt with the owners of the Elephant? Did He not bring their stratagem to naught." ("Al-Fil" [The Elephant], verses 01–02.)
• Riding an
by day: Will divorce one's wife and sustain harm in the process.
• Riding an
with a saddle and driving it at will: (1) Will marry the daughter of a foreign giant. (2) Business will prosper.
• A bachelor riding an elephant: (1) Will get married, possibly to a foreign woman. (2) Will board a ship or the like.
• Seeing an
anywhere other than in India: Hardships and terror.
• Herding elephants: Will befriend foreign rulers.
• Seeing a slaughtered
in a country: The ruler of that country or one of its celebrities will die.
• An
posing a menace to the dreamer or trying to get hold of him: Coming sickness.
• Falling under the elephant's feet or being foiled by it: Will die, unless the
did not step on the dreamer or crush him, in which case he would just face hardships, then escape unharmed.
• Talking to an elephant: Welfare from the king.
• An
chasing the dreamer: Harm from the king.
• An
beating the dreamer with its trunk or taking anything from that animal's trunk: Will strike it rich.
• Two elephants fighting: Two kings are in the same position.
dung or droppings: The king's money.
• An
getting out of a city whose ruler is ill: (1) The ruler will die; otherwise, he will be deposed or leave for good. (2) If it is a port city a ship will set sail. (3) Some epidemic or plague will disappear.
• A woman dreaming of riding an elephant: She will die.

Interpretation according to Varying Times Dream Explanation
— If a person dreams during the night that he is mounted on an

Incident Dream Explanation
— A dream interpreter once said: "I saw in a dream a man who was blindfolded with a
piece of cloth. I asked him: 'Do you know what happened to my father?' The man replied: "Your father is dead.' Then he took me to may father's grave, where I felt the great loss, and I hugged it, cried, and wailed. When I woke up, I told another dream interpreter, who was a friend of mine, about my dream. He smiled and said: 'Your father's death in the dream means his longevity, and your crying means relief from distress.' I did not accept his interpretation of my dream, for I knew better the meaning of wailing and mourning in a dream. Soon after that, I visited my father, and my friend proudly reminded me of his interpretation. Later on, I travelled away from home. When I returned to my town, I passed by a graveyard. At the gate stood a woman who was guarding that cemetery and whose eye was bandaged with a
piece of cloth. I knew her, so I stopped and asked her about the news. She said to me: 'May God grant you a long life. Your father has passed away.' Then she took me to his grave, and I fell on it, crying and wailing, exactly as I saw in my dream. Thus, my friend's interpretation did not come true, for he has no hand in it."
Arrogance Dream Explanation
— To show arrogance in a dream based on one's success in life and richness means the nearing end of one's life in this world. Arrogance in a dream also means prosperity and a high rank in this world, though evil maybe the end of it. (Also see Advice; Elephant)
Colors Dream Explanation
— (Black; Blond; Bluish-black; Green; Maroon; Purple; Red; Reddish-brown; White; Yellow) The color black in a dream means prosperity, happiness or sickness. The color blond in a dream means war, sickness, piety, honor or a religious person. In a dream, the color blond also means contemptibleness, vileness, meanness or depravity. Black colored eyes in a dream represent a religious person. A bluish -black colored eyes in a dream connote opposing one's religion.
eyes in a dream entail religious innovations. Green eyes in a dream represent a religion that is different from all religions. The color green in a dream also represents a good harvest or prosperity. Green in a dream also means youth or fear of wrongdoing. In a dream, the color
represents distress, depression, enmity, or it could mean a calamity. The color red in a dream denotes joy, celebration, spirituality or dominion. Red means the world or material gains. In a dream, the color maroon or a reddish-brown color signifies dignity, nobility, power or it could represent a wealthy woman. The color purple in a dream represents a brilliant, skilful and a beautiful woman, or it could mean fragrance, instability, sickness, love and harmony. White in a dream also means beauty or it could represent elderly people. A black flag in a dream means a man of knowledge, a white one represents jealousy, a yellow flag represents an epidemic disease and a green flag means a journey by land. A black cloud in a dream represents a just judge while a white cloud represents a blessed, noble and true justice. A white thread in a dream represents the dawn and a black thread in a dream represents the night. If one sees his cheeks radiant white in a dream, it means honor, bounty, or it could mean achieving a high rank in one's community. Unknown white or green tents in a camp in a dream represent the graves of martyrs. Yellow represents strain, sickness, repentance, a son, or it could mean chivalry. (Also see Flag; Garment)
Lips Dream Explanation
— In a dream, lips represent man's pride, strength, virility, his helper, clarity of expression, eloquence, or special love for one's friend. The lower lip has more advantages than the upper lip in a dream. The upper lip represents a close friend, or someone one depends on in everything. Anything that affects one's lips in a dream, will manifest in any of the above. Lips in a dream also represent one's wife, child, or relatives. If one suffers pain from his lips in a dream, it means that such pain will come from one's friends. If one's lips are chopped off in the dream, it means that he engages in backbiting others. If only the lower lip is chopped off in the dream, it means that one may lose a helper or a provider. If the upper lip is missing in a dream, it means that one's life is void of blessings. If the lower lip is missing in the dream, then it represents a dying wife. If the upper lip is split in one's dream, it denotes double the effects concerning the person who is understood to be meant in the dream. If the lower lip is split or chapped in the dream, it means conducting a secret relationship with two women. If it is the upper lip, it means having two friends. If his chapped lips heal in the dream, then it means reconciliation between two friends, or winning their consent regarding one's opinion or decision. If one's upper lip is cut off in a dream, it means severing relationship with a close friend. Lips in a dream also denote relatives or kinship. Lips in a dream also mean recovering from an illness, or forcing a jealous friend to follow one's directives, or hearing good news that will heal one's heart. Lips in a dream also represent a door attendant, boys, guards, locks, knowledge, guidance, food, drinks, marriage, happiness, sadness, or keeping secrets. Having no lips in a dream means loosing any of the above, or one's dream could mean a broken door, or loosing one's keys, or perhaps it could mean the death of one's parents, husband or wife. Lips in a dream also represent the livelihood of singers or musicians who play wind instruments for a living, or the livelihood of a glass blower. If one's lips look thin and rosy in a dream, they denote clarity of speech, guidance, good food, good drink and happiness. Thick lips with black or
color in a dream represent laziness, languor, failure to present a verifiable proof or to bring a strong witness, or they could mean discomfort, or difficulty in earning one's livelihood. If a sick person sees his lips black or
in a dream, it could mean his death. Closed lips in a dream represent one's eyelids, a vagina, the anus, the banks of a river or a well. (Also see Body)
Incident Dream Explanation
— this incident is related to a group of people living on the Island of Saqliyyah . It is narrated that their king was bent on annihilating the Muslims. For this, he prepared a powerful navy comprising of thousands of soldiers. At this point he saw a dream in which he saw himself mounted on an
while drums were beaten and trumpets were blown before him. When he awoke he summoned some of his clergymen and asked them to interpret the dream. They gave him the glad tiding of victory. He demanded proof from them for their interpretation. The said that the
is the most powerful animal on land and mounting such a powerful animal means becoming the master of power and strength. And the beating of drums and blowings of trumpets are signs of happiness, ecstasy and victory. Also drums are only beaten in the presence of asking if there is some reason for happiness. When the king heard this, he became both surprised and delighted. He then summoned some Jewish ulama and asked them for their interpretation. They also interpdreted the dream as a glad tiding of victory. He then called some Muslim ulamaa and demanded that they interpret the dream. They all pointed to an experienced Alim to respond to the king's demand. The Alim said to the king that he would interpret the dream only if he guaranteed their safety which he did. The learned Alim interpreted the dream thus; "O king, I see no wisdom in your wanting to kill the Muslims and marching on them for this purpose. Please do not deploy your army for they will not return to you alive. They will be defeated and destroyed. And do not for one moment think that I give this interpretation because I am a Muslim". The king asked him for proof to which he replied that the Holy Book of Allah was the source for his proof. He quoted the verse: Have you not seen what your Lord had done to the people of the elephants. He recited the entire Surah Feel. The king said: "This is your proof regarding the elephants. What have you to say about the drums?" He recited the verse: And when the trumpet will be blowns, this will be a very hard day for the non-believers-not an easy one. When the king heard this he became utterly shocked and perplexed since the Shaikh's explanation was rational and irrefutable. To avoid embarrassment to himself he dismissed the sheikh and his colleagues saying that he would have believed him if he (the sheikh) were not a Muslim. But since he is a Muslim he is biased in his delivery of interpretation. The Shaikh said: "You will soon find out for yourself, o king!". When the sheikh and his colleagues departed the king began to ponder deeply about what the sheikh had said. He became convinced and decided not to go ahead with his plans. When the clergy heard of this they approached him and urged him to go ahead with his plan. They reasoned with him not to believe the interpretation of the sheikh as he was a Muslim and a Muslim would obviously be opposed to king Muslims. They also sought his permission to kill the sheikh which he refused. They continued to incite him against the Muslim and urged him to go ahead with his plans. He had no choice but to accede. He deployed a huge army under the command of his son. The two sides met in the middle of the sea. For three days a fierce battle ensued between the Muslims and non-Muslims. One the third day the Christians army was defeated. Not a single person was spared. When the king came to learn about this, he called for the sheikh and admitted his folly before him. He then secretly accepted Islam at his hands and bestowed many of his favours on him. It is said that he also learned the Holy Quran by the Shaikh and this affair of the king became popular in Saqliyyah.
Flesh Dream Explanation
— (Meat) Human flesh in a dream represents one's health, strength, earnings, sickness or one's shop, piety, religious attendance, fear of wrongdoing, scrutinizing the difference between the lawful and the unlawful, patience, forbearance, anger, distress, sexual desires, suffering from adversities and punishment for sins. If one's flesh grows bigger than what one actually has in a dream, it means prosperity, and if one is sick, it means recovering from his illness. If one sees himself having less flesh than what he actually has in a dream, it means stagnation of his business or loss of his money and property. If a devoted worshiper sees growth in his physical fitness in a dream, it means slackening in his devotion and occupying himself more in material gains and worldly pleasures. If one sees himself emaciated in a dream, then it means the opposite. Buying a piece of human flesh in a dream means having a stagnant merchandise. If a judge or a ruler finds that his flesh has grown in a dream, it means that he will become famous for his verdicts, rulings or that he will become rich, or perhaps he might grow in fury or develop anger. Growth in one's fitness in a dream also denotes happiness, joy and celebrations, while emaciation in a dream represents distress and adversities. If one sees his flesh black or
, or if his skin is cracking in a dream, it denotes suffering from adversities, an illness or a punishment for his sins. Eating the growth of one's own flesh in a dream means usury, or living on income from usury and saving one's capital. Eating from one's own flesh in a dream also means using one's own capital, or doing something that will be followed by regret and sorrow. (Also see Meat)
Death Dream Explanation
— Death symbolizes the loss of religious faith and divorce as well as poverty, most probably on the spiritual plane. It also means regret and repentance for a great sin. Likewise, it alludes to imminent marriage, because the bridegroom or the married person, like the dead, enjoys special care, such as washing, incense, et cetera.
• Seeing one's corpse carried on a bier or in a coffin amid tears and sobbing after all mortuary rituals have been accomplished: Weakening faith and debauchery along with dignity and power in this world. If, furthermore, the body had been buried, it would mean that the dreamer will be completely immersed in worldly matters and lost spiritually and will die without repentance. If he comes out of the grave, he will repent. In any case, the hero of such a dream will have absolute mastery and will almost enslave or humiliate as many people as were seen carrying his bier over their necks and shoulders. He might also rule over his province or state. But for a slave burial means that he will be set free. For the custodian of something it means that whatever he is entrusted to keep will be snatched from him.
• Sudden death: Unexpected troubles and worries.
• Death of the king: The country will be lost.
• Death of the imam (Muslim spiritual leader): (1) Havoc in the city or country. (2) Loss of the dreamer's religious faith.
• Death of a ulema (Muslim religious scholar): No more learning or Islamic Law in that place.
• Death of either parent: Will deteriorate materially and/or spiritually.
• Death of the father: Quandary regarding the dreamer's livelihood.
• Death of the mother: (1) Worries and sorrow. (2) Aims will not be fulfilled.
• Death of a son: (1) Will get rid of or be safe from one's enemy. (2) An inheritance.
• Death of a daughter: Despair will replace joy.
• Death of a sick brother: (1) The brother in question will die. (2) Someone from that brother's side will pass away.
• A person who has no brother dreaming that his brother has died: (1) The dreamer will die or go broke. (2) The dreamer will lose an eye or a hand.
• Death of a conjoint or a partner: Divorce or the end of a partnership.
• Death of the wife: (1) Will make money and become self-sufficient. (2) Will lose one's source of living. More often it is a good dream.
• Death of a relative: Will become less able.
• Death of a pregnant woman: Will give birth to a male child who will prove to be very beneficial and bring about a lot of joy.
• Death of an unknown woman: (1) Worldly matters will run into a snag. (2) Drought. Death of a friend: (1) The dreamer will die. (2) The dreamer will lose that friend.
• Death of an unknown old man: The dreamer's endeavours will not bear any fruit.
• Death of a night watchman: (1) Death of a ruler or governor. (2) Fear.
• Death of a bachelor: Marriage.
• Death of a professional or a craftsman: The craft will go through a recession.
• Death of a slave: Snags and loss of prestige, especially if that was the only slave in the house.
• Death of unchaste and wanton persons: (1) Comfort for the devout and torture for the disbelievers. (2) Religious corruption.
• Death of an animal: The interpreter should bear in mind what the animal symbolizes. For instance, a lion or an
would refer to the supreme authority in the country. The
represents a huge man, the cat and the mouse are thieves, and females are, indeed, women.
• Death of a ferocious animal with fangs and claws: Triumph over enemies and safety from harm.
• Death of a domestic beast: Bad omen, especially if it is the only beast that the dreamer possesses.
• Difficult passage from life to death: Severe chastisement in the Hereafter.
• Death of a child: Death of a woman and vice versa, because Muslim scholars used to find that women and children have this in common: lack of religious faith and reason.
• Terrible death occurring in a certain place: A fire will break out in that place.
Eye Dream Explanation
— The eye represents the person's vision and discrimination between right and wrong. It also symbolizes money and children, as they are as dear as the eyes. The black eye refers to religion, the
religious violation, and the green a religion different from all others.
• Having several eyes in the body: Excessive virtue and religion.
• Dreaming that one's stomach has been opened and finding an eye in it: The dreamer is a hypocrite.
• Dreaming that one's eyes are those of a stranger: The dreamer will go blind and be guided by someone else.
• Dreaming that one's eyes are those of an identified person: The dreamer will marry that person's daughter and benefit from him.
• Dreaming that one's eyes are gone: The dreamer's children will die.
• A person in a foreign land dreaming that he is completely blind: He will stay abroad till he dies.
• Seeing one's eyes made of iron: The dreamer will be in deep trouble and the center of a scandal.
• Opening one's eyes to see a certain person: That person will look into the dreamer's plea and help him.
• Staring angrily at someone: The dreamer will have spite for that person.
• Hearing with one's eyes and seeing with one's ears: The dreamer is inciting his family and daughter to commit sins.
• Seeing the eye of a man or an animal in one's palm: The dreamer will get plenty of money.
• Looking at an eye and liking it: The dreamer will do something harmful to his religion.
• The heart having an eye or eyes: Religious devotion inasmuch as they were bright.
• Squinting: The dreamer is eyeing women with lust.
• Dreaming that one's eyes have been pierced: The dreamer will lose someone or something very dear.
• Seeing something white in or around the pupil of the eye or a kind of screen: Trouble, deep worries, losses, and loss of aspirations.
• An absent relative returning blind: The dreamer will die.
• Having "the black water" (glaucoma) in the eyes and being unable to see anything: The dreamer is shameless because, says Ibn Siren, the eye is the center of decency and shame.
• One's eye becoming dim: The dreamer is eyeing a friendly woman indecently.
• Having weak eyesight: (1) The dreamer needs people's help and is going adrift. (2) The dreamer's children will be ill.
• The eyes falling on one's knees: Death of a brother and a son or any two other dear persons.
• Seeing a slave girl (the word in Arabic meaning "A running one") or a couple of eyes flying rapidly in the sky: Will make money from business or a craft.

Crowds flock to movie theaters on Christmas
BY James D. Wolf Jr. Post-Tribune correspondent December 25, 2011 10:20PM
Goodrich Portage 16 IMAX theater employee Skylar Simko (center) of Portage, Ind., serves popcorn to Donavan Burney (right) also of Portage, and his daughter Alexa Burney, 11, at the theater on Christmas Day in Portage, Ind., Sunday, December 25, 2011. Attending movies on Christmas is becoming a tradition among many families. | Guy Rhodes~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 27, 2012 8:14AM
VALPARAISO — The business day may have started later than usual for Portage 16 IMAX, but it started strong for Christmas.
Within 15 minutes of the theater complex at 6550 U.S. 6 in Portage opening at 3 p.m., two shows had already sold out.
Those were Steven Spielberg's film "War Horse," which opened on Christmas, and "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," which opened a few days before.
"First show at Christmas, and it sells out — that's good," shift manager Alex Srednoselac said. "It's been a slow couple weeks. I knew today would be steady, but I didn't anticipate this much."
Said shift manager Juan Mendez: "We didn't anticipate that flush of a crowd."
Mendez attributed it to sales of gift cards and the fact that the theater is the only thing open.
"We're a weekend and holiday business," he said.
For the Burney family of Portage, Christmas movies are a tradition enjoy most years.
"It's a nice, relaxing end to a busy day," said Donavan Burney, who came to see the new "Mission: Impossible" film with daughters Alexa, 11, Hannah, 13 and Haley, 15.
His wife, Nicole, and twins Grace and Payton, 7, went to see "Chipwrecked" at the theater.
Said Brian Davis of Highland: "This is our second year running."
He and his family — wife Denise Davis, Paul Davis of Winfield, 12-year-old Alex Hope of Winfield and 15-year-old Robert Moreland of California — went to see "Avatar" in 3D last year.
"We normally do the family thing with the presents on Christmas Eve," he said. "There's nothing else to do (today)."
This year, they wanted to see "The Darkest Hour" in 3D.
Martha Chazez of Portage and Kenia Chavez, 10, came to the movies on Christmas for the first time.
"Nothing is open, I'm bored in my house and I want to watch a movie," Martha said. "I like the movies."
Kenia is a fan of the Chipmunks, so she wanted to see "Chipwrecked." She also said she'd already opened all her gifts.
For Valparaiso University students Ping Lai, Jian Wu, Jinfang Liu, Yihan Hu and Wengang Gui from China, going to the IMAX was part of their first Christmas in the United States.
"We want to spend a memorable Christmas," Lai said.

An old joke about a guy who dies and goes to purgatory reminds me of Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.
The dead guy is given a chance to choose where he'll go. St. Peter takes him to Heaven and he sees people playing harps, listening to classical music and sees serenely happy people. The Devil then takes him to hell, where he sees people partying, singing to loud music, and holding beers and cocktails in front of tables piled high with pizzas and Haagen-Dazs. He makes his decision.
"I'll go with HIM," he says, pointing to the Devil. So the Devil takes him down again. Only this time, loudspeakers constantly blare Barney's "I Love You" theme, a Paulie Shore movie runs nonstop on a loop, and he's thrown into a boiling pot of Velveeta. "But this isn't what you showed me the first time!" he tells the Devil. And the Devil then tells him: "The first time you went tourist."
And so it goes with Barack Obama. In 2008, he went tourist. To be sure, it wasn't an easy or fun tour:
Unemployment was 7.2 percent when George W. Bush left office (it went up to 10 percent and is now at 8.2 percent). The markets were in a meltdown. Republicans nominated a candidate who many Americans admired due to his heroism, Arizona Sen. John McCain, a more moderate GOPer who moved further right. McCain picked for Vice President then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who initially dazzled the press and Republican convention with her acceptance speech. McCain ran a hapless campaign. Palin lost segments of voters in droves. The press and much of America were smitten by the saga of the Democratic Party's first African-American Presidential candidate.
But 2012 is a different kind of political journey. And here's why:
Team Obama may have been vastly overrated: I've never believed it was on the same level as the teams that helped elect FDR, JFK or Bill Clinton. In the classic book about the 2008 campaign, "Game Change," it's clear that much of the Obama campaign was by the seat of its pants and they frequently couldn't believe how well Obama was doing and catching on. In Samuel Popkin's new book, "What It Takes to Win — and Hold — the White House," Popkin attributes part of Obama's success to the Hillary Clinton campaign's truly poor decisions, management and implementation.
Republicans today are different: Mitt Romney's campaign, bolstered by some $1 billion in PAC money, is slick and ruthless and can't be confused with Hillary Clinton's or McCain's. Romney's favorables are rising as Republicans rally around him: conservatives cautiously accept he's their guy and some moderates hope he's lying to conservatives. It's akin to 2008, when voters projected their own vision on what they thought Obama REALLY was.
Polarization: A new Pew Research Center poll finds that more Americans call themselves independent than at any point in the last 75 years — and if they are partisans, they're more ideological and polarized.
The bloom is off the Obama rose: Yes, Americans know Obama gives good speeches. Events have defined Obama both positively (killing Osama bin Laden) and negatively (the economy). Many Obama 2008 donors have gone from "hope and change" to giving up any hope about significant change — and a huge number of them aren't donating this year.
The conventional wisdom and pundits remain untrustworthy: Stories about Romney being another boring Al Gore have suddenly (for now) receded. Stories quoting analysts and partisans suggesting Obama is another Jimmy Carter are (for now) resurfacing. Conventional wisdom shifts abruptly. But the overall subtext is: Obama is an unsuccessful President.
Can Obama and, even more importantly, some Democrats who have a habit of wimping out and not voting when it looks like they'll lose, meet the brutal, uphill battle ahead? Or, facing one of their toughest races ever, will they get a disease tourists sometimes get: yellow fever?
If not, Obama and the Democrats may wake up on election day, look at the results, and get symptoms of another disease people going tourist sometimes get: dysentery.

A little effort in the kitchen will set you up for a good day's work and some serious training.
Ingredients• 1 whole kipper• Zest of ¼ orange and ¼ lemon (and lemon juice)• 25g butter• Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)Nutrition320kcal; carbs 0g; protein 16g; saturated fat 15gMethod1. Gently grill the kippers for 4-5 minutes.2. Put the orange and lemon zest in a pan with the butter and heat until bubbling gently. 3. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley, if using. 4. Put the kippers on a plate and pour over the sauce. Serve with crusty bread.
The Benefits A study at the Oregon Health and Science University in the US has found that omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil may help reduce depression. Oily fish such as kippers (people still eat them, honest) also contain vitamin D, which, recent studies have shown, can help keep the brain in good shape as we age. Research into omega-3 fatty acids continues – and some claims do not seem to stack up – but we should still be eating one or two portions of oily fish a week.

After a successful run Off Broadway at Lincoln Center's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater earlier this year (see our original review here), Jon Robin Baitz's explosive domestic drama Other Desert Cities opens on Broadway with all of its mesmerizing brittleness intact. Stockard Channing and Stacy Keach return as Polly and Lyman Wyeth, a well-heeled couple now sunsetting in Palm Springs after a golden career in Hollywood and Republican politics. She was a screenwriter-turned-socialite, he was an actor-turned-wine spokesman-turned-ambassador. Together, they form an almost impregnable front representing power, however fading, and privilege.
But there are chinks in the carefully Botoxed armor, and who better to expose them than their wayward daughter, Brooke (Rachel Griffiths), who arrives in Palm Springs for the holidays along with her reality-TV-show-producing younger brother, Trip (a spot-on Thomas Sadowski)? Brooke, a failed novelist who exiled herself to the East Coast and has a history of depression, shows up with the manuscript of her new book not a novel, but a tell-all memoir of the Wyeth family history that threatens to upset Polly and Lyman's meticulously manicured lives by touching on the tragic death of Brooke's older brother.
