New Research Shows How Sugary Drinks Are Marketed to Children in the Age of Social Media
Beverage companies spent $866 million to advertise unhealthy drinks in 2013, and children and teens remained key target audiences for that advertising, according to a new report released today at APHA by the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity. The report "Sugary Drink FACTS 2014" highlights some progress regarding beverage marketing to young people, but also shows that companies still have a long way to go to improve their marketing practices and the nutritional quality of their products to support young people's health.
"Despite promises by major beverage companies to be part of the solution in addressing childhood obesity, our report shows that companies continue to market their unhealthy products directly to children and teens," said Jennifer Harris, PhD, Rudd Center's director of marketing initiatives and lead author of the report. "They have also rapidly expanded marketing in social and mobile media that are popular with young people, but much more difficult for parents to monitor."
Harris and her team examined changes in the nutritional content of sugar-sweetened drinks including sodas, energy drinks, fruit drinks, and others. They also analyzed marketing tactics for 23 companies that advertised these products, including changes in advertising to children and teens on TV, the internet, and newer media like mobile apps and social media. Researchers also examined changes in the nutrition and marketing of diet beverages, 100% juice, and water. The report was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Learn more about the key findings of the report in the following exclusive interview with Harris. The interview has been lightly edited for clarity and length.
NPH: You issued the first version of this new report in 2011. What are the changes since then?
Jennifer Harris: The biggest change that we saw was a very significant decline in advertising on television. Preschoolers are seeing 33% fewer TV ads for sugary drinks in 2013 than they saw in 2010. Children are seeing 39% fewer, and teens are seeing 30% fewer. So, that was really some great news to see, but some categories had bigger declines than others. Fruit drinks went down by about 50%, but advertising for energy drinks that kids see actually increased. So, there was some good news and some bad news.

Study Questions Long Term Success of Some Popular Diets
A new study published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, an American Heart Association journal, suggests that popular commercial diets can help people lose some weight in the short term, but keeping the weight off after the first year and the diet's impact on heart health are unclear. "Despite their popularity and important contributions to the multi-million dollar weight loss industry, we still do not know if these diets are effective to help people lose weight and decrease their risk factors for heart disease," said Mark J. Eisenberg, MD, MPH, the study's senior author and Professor of Medicine at Jewish General Hospital/McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. "With such a small number of trials looking at each diet and their somewhat conflicting results, there is only modest evidence that using these diets is beneficial in the long-term."
The longest diet studies researchers analyzed lasted for two years, and results were only available for the Atkins or Weight Watchers diets. Those studies found dieters regained some of their weight over time. To better understand the potential benefits from any one or all of these diets, researchers need to conduct large clinical trials directly comparing all four popular diets for long-term weight loss and changes in other heart disease risk factors, said Eisenberg.

Bilingual Brains Better Equipped to Process Information
Speaking more than one language is good for the brain, according to new research in the journal Brain and Language that indicates bilingual speakers process information more efficiently and more easily than do those who know a single language. The benefits occur because the bilingual brain is constantly activating both languages and choosing which language to use and which to ignore, said Northwestern University's Viorica Marian, the lead author of the research and a professor in the department of communication sciences and disorders in the School of Communication. When the brain is constantly exercised in this way, it doesn't have to work as hard to perform cognitive tasks, the researchers found. "It's like a stop light," Marian said. "Bilinguals are always giving the green light to one language and red to another. When you have to do that all the time, you get really good at inhibiting the words you don't need."

Alzheimer's-Related Costs Expected to Soar in Coming Decades
Health policy researchers at the University of Southern California have used modeling that incorporates trends in health, health care costs, education and demographics to determine that models show that the number of people expected to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease will soar in the next three decades.
Key findings:
- From 2010 to 2050, the number of individuals aged 70+ with Alzheimer's will increase by 153 percent, from 3.6 to 9.1 million.
- Annual per-person costs of the disease were $71,000 in 2010, which is expected to double by 2050.
- Medicare and Medicaid currently bear 75 percent of the costs of the disease.
"Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disease with symptoms that gradually worsen over time. People don't get better," said Julie Zissimopoulos, lead author of the study and an assistant professor at the USC Price School of Public Policy. "It is so expensive because individuals with Alzheimer's disease need extensive help with daily activities provided by paid caregivers or by family members who may be taking time off of work to care for them, which has a double impact on the economy."

American College of Preventive Medicine Releases Recommendations to Curb Texting While Driving
The American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) has released guidelines aimed at reducing death and injuries linked to texting while driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 12 percent of all fatal crashes involving at least one distracted driver are estimated to be related to cell phone use while driving. "Given the combination of visual, manual and cognitive distractions posed by texting, this is an issue of major public health concern for communities," the ACPM said it its statement. The guidelines include:
- Encourage state legislatures to develop and pass legislation banning texting while driving, while simultaneously implementing comprehensive and dedicated law enforcement strategies, including penalties for these violations.
- Legislatures should establish a public awareness campaign regarding the dangers of texting while driving as an integral part of this legislation.
- Promote further research into the design and evaluation of educational tools regarding texting while driving that can be incorporated into the issuance of driver's licenses.
- Provide primary care providers with the appropriate tools to educate patients of all ages.
- Conduct additional studies investigating the risks associated with cell phone usage while driving—particularly texting—with motor vehicle crashes.

Skin Cancer Costs Rise
The costs associated with skin cancer increased five times as fast as treatments for other cancers between 2002 and 2011, according to a study by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. The average annual cost for skin cancer treatment increased from $3.6 billion during 2002-2006 to $8.1 billion during 2007-2011, or 126 percent. The average annual cost for treatment of all other cancers increased by 25 percent during the same time period. "The findings raise the alarm that not only is skin cancer a growing problem in the United States, but the costs for treating it are skyrocketing relative to other cancers," said the lead author of the report, Gery Guy, PhD, of the CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control. "This also underscores the importance of skin cancer prevention efforts." Read more on cancer.
Childhood Obesity Often Continues into Teen Years
A new study published in the journal Pediatrics reviewed data on close to 4,000 public school students who were measured for height and weight in 5th and 10th grades. In 5th grade, one percent of students were underweight, 53 percent were normal weight, 19 percent were overweight and 26 percent were obese. Sixty-five percent of obese 5th-graders remained obese in 10th grade, 23 percent transitioned down to overweight and only 12 percent became normal weight. The study found that obese 5th graders were more likely to remain obese in 10th grade if they perceived themselves to be much heavier than ideal or came from a less-educated household. However, overweight 5th-graders were more likely to become obese by 10th grade if they had an obese parent or watched more television. The study authors say obese children face many challenges in reducing obesity in adolescence and that health care professionals should be encouraged to educate parents and caregivers to address obesity at a very young age, including advice on healthy eating and physical activity.

Public Perceptions on Obesity Are Changing
New research that looked at the opinions of both the public and health care professionals during the past year finds a shift away from seeing obesity as a personal problem resulting from bad choices. Health care professionals were already less likely than the public to view obesity as a personal problem of bad choices, according to the study was presented earlier this week at the Obesity Society Annual Meeting in Boston. The study used an online survey of more than 50,000 members of the public and more than 5,000 health care professionals, finding that the percentage of Americans seeing obesity as a community problem increased by 13 percent in 2014 over the previous year and the percent of health care professionals increased by 18 percent, although that was a smaller increase than the previous year. Wealthier and younger respondents were more likely to view obesity as a medical problem. Male and rural respondents more likely view obesity as a personal problem of bad choices.

Many People, Who Think They Have a Penicillin Allergy, Don't
Many people have been incorrectly told that they're allergic to penicillin, and have not had testing to confirm an allergy, according to a two new studies presented this week at the annual conference of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. The studies are very important, according to the researchers, because giving alternative antibiotics to people who don't need them results in inferior treatment, higher costs and higher toxicity for patients. Of 384 people in one study who thought they were allergic to penicillin, 94 tested negative. In the second study, 38 people who believed they were allergic to penicillin had skin testing and all tested negative. "A large number of people in our study who had a history of penicillin allergy were actually not allergic," said Thanai Pongdee, MD, a member of the ACAAI and the author of one study. "They may have had an unfavorable response to penicillin at some point in the past, such as hives or swelling, but they did not demonstrate any evidence of penicillin allergy at the current time."

School Lunches Often Healthier than Packed Lunches
Researchers from Virginia Tech recently conducted a study that compared school lunches with home-packed lunches and found that school lunches were typically more nutritious. The researchers reviewed more than 1,000 lunches—about half packed and half prepared by three public schools—and found that rates of calories, carbohydrates, fat, saturated fat, sugar, vitamin C, and iron were significantly higher for packed lunches compared to school lunches. Protein, sodium, fiber, vitamin A and calcium were significantly lower for packed lunches compared to school lunches. "Habits develop in early childhood and continue into adolescence and adulthood. Therefore, this is a critical time to promote healthy eating. Determining the many factors which influence the decision to participate in the [school lunch program] or bring a packed lunch from home is vital to addressing the poor quality of packed lunches," says Elena L. Serrano, PhD, Family Nutrition Program Project Director, and Department of Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise at Virginia Tech and the lead author of the study. Read more on nutrition.

EBOLA UPDATE: HHS Accelerates Development of an Ebola Vaccine
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) is working to accelerate the development of a vaccine to prevent Ebola through a one-year, $5.8 million contract with Profectus BioSciences Inc. ASPR's Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) will also provide subject matter expertise and technical assistance. Plans call for the vaccine to first be tested in animal safety studies. "We are pushing hard to advance the development of multiple products as quickly as possible for clinical evaluation and future use in preventing or treating this deadly disease," said BARDA Director Robin Robinson, PhD. "Our goal is to close the global gap in vaccines and therapeutics needed to protect the public health from Ebola as highlighted by the epidemic in West Africa." Read more on Ebola.
High-Fat Meals Could Be More Harmful to Men than to Women
High-fat meals could be more harmful to men than they are to women, according to a new study in the journal Cell Reports. Researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute and funded by the National Institutes of Health determined that male mice who received high-fat diets experienced greater health complications than did female mice who received the same. "For the first time, we have identified remarkable differences in the sexes when it comes to how the body responds to high-fat diets," said Deborah Clegg, PhD. "In the study, the mice were given the equivalent of a steady diet of hamburgers and soda. The brains of the male mice became inflamed and their hearts were damaged. But the female mice showed no brain inflammation and had normal hearts during the diet." Richard Bergman, PhD, director of the Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute, said the findings suggest that physicians must "reconsider whether the diets and drugs we recommend for managing obesity may need to be sex-specific to be more effective."

Study Links Metal-Contaminated Well Water to Birth Defects, Other Detrimental Health Outcomes
Increased levels of metals in private well water may be linked to birth defects and other detrimental health outcomes, according to a new study in the journal BiodMed Central Public Health. Researchers at the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health utilized well water data from between 11,000 and 47,000 wells provided by the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. They determined that metals such as cadmium, arsenic, lead and manganese in drinking water can lead to spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, low birth weight and impaired neural development in infants.

EBOLA UPDATE: Five U.S. Airports to Screen Travelers from Ebola-Affected Nations
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
On the same day that the Dallas, Tex., patient being treated for Ebola succumbed to the disease, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Homeland Security's Customs & Border Protection (CBP) announced that travelers from Ebola-affected nations would undergo increased entry screening when arriving in five U.S. airports. New York's JFK, Washington-Dulles, Newark, Chicago-O'Hare and Atlanta international airports receive more than 94 percent of travelers from the West African nations. According to the CDC:
- Travelers from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone will be escorted by CBP to an area of the airport set aside for screening.
- Trained CBP staff will observe them for signs of illness, ask them a series of health and exposure questions and provide health information for Ebola and reminders to monitor themselves for symptoms. Trained medical staff will take their temperature with a non-contact thermometer.
- If the travelers have fever, symptoms or the health questionnaire reveals possible Ebola exposure, they will be evaluated by a CDC quarantine station public health officer. The public health officer will again take a temperature reading and make a public health assessment. Travelers, who after this assessment, are determined to require further evaluation or monitoring will be referred to the appropriate public health authority.
- Travelers from these countries who have neither symptoms/fever nor a known history of exposure will receive health information for self-monitoring.

Study: College Athletes in Contact Sports at Increased MRSA Risk
College athletes in contact sports are at increased risk of carrying and being infected with the superbug methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to a new study presented this morning at IDWeek. In a two-year study, researchers determined that contact sport athletes were more than twice as likely as non-contact athletes to be colonized with MRSA. Colonization with MRSA ranged from 8 to 31 percent in contact sports athletes, compared to 0 to 23 percent of non-contact athletes; 5 to 10 percent of the general population is colonized with MRSA. "This study shows that even outside of a full scale outbreak, when athletes are healthy and there are no infections, there are still a substantial number of them who are colonized with these potentially harmful bacteria," said Natalia Jimenez-Truque, PhD, MSCI, research instructor, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tenn., in a release "Sports teams can decrease the spread of MRSA by encouraging good hygiene in their athletes, including frequent hand washing and avoiding sharing towels and personal items such as soap and razors."

ACS: Overweight and Obese African-Americans, Whites at Similar Risk for Premature Death
Overweight and obese African-Americans and whites are at similar risk for premature death, according to a new study in the journal PLOS ONE. The findings contradict previous, smaller studies which indicated the link was less strong for African-Americans. For the study, researchers from the American Cancer Society analyzed data from the Cancer Prevention Study II (CPS-II), which included approximately one million men and women. "While recent large studies have examined the relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality in white and Asian populations in the United States, this relationship has not been well-characterized in African Americans," said Alpa V. Patel, PhD, in a release. "The American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study-II is very well-suited to address this issue because of its large size, including nearly a million participants, and long-term follow-up of 28 years, making it the largest study to date in African Americans."

Students Adjusting to Healthier School Lunches: Q&A with Lindsey Turner
A recently published research brief finds that six months after updated U.S. Department of Agriculture standards for healthier meals were implemented in public schools, elementary and high school students are buying—and eating—the healthier meals.
The brief published by Bridging the Gap, a national research program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), shows that 70 percent of elementary school principals and school food directors said that students generally liked the healthier school lunches that began being served in the fall of 2012. Similarly, 70 percent of middle school students and 63 percent of high school students also like the meals. These are the first national studies to examine students' reactions to the healthier meals.
"The updated meals standards are resulting in healthier meals for tens of millions of kids," said Lindsey Turner, lead author of the elementary school study, and a co-investigator for Bridging the Gap. "Our studies show that kids are OK with these changes, and that there have not been widespread challenges with kids not buying or eating the meals."
The survey responders were asked about students' initial reaction to the meals in fall 2012, and how things were progressing a few months afterwards. Findings included:
- About half of the responders from elementary schools (56 percent) reported that students complained at first, but by spring 2013 64 percent of responders said few students were complaining.
- In middle schools, the percentage of students complaining dropped from 44 percent in fall 2012 to 11 percent in spring 2013. High schools saw similar declines, from 53 percent to 18 percent.
- Eighty-four percent of elementary school responders said approximately the same number of students (or more) were purchasing lunch this school year as did the previous year.
- Seventy percent of responders said middle-school students generally liked the new lunches, as did 63 percent of responders from high schools.
"The updated meal standards are a landmark achievement—they make schools healthier places for our nation's children and are a critical step toward reversing the childhood obesity epidemic and building a Culture of Health nationwide," said Tina Kauh, program officer at RWJF. "Policymakers at all levels should be encouraged by these findings and should continue to support schools' efforts to provide students with healthy meals and snacks."
NewPublicHealth recently spoke with Lindsey Turner about the study findings.
NewPublicHealth: News reports from about a year back seemed to indicate some kids were not happy with the healthier lunches. But your studies show that for the most part school lunches are being well-received.
Lindsey Turner: Many of those news stories were early on soon after the lunches had been changed. They're also based on fairly small numbers of schools or case reports, and so one challenge with that is that it may not necessarily be representative of schools in general across the country. One of the strengths of our study is that we were able to get data from a fairly large number of schools from all across the country, which presents a little bit more of a balanced picture of what's actually going on.

EBOLA UPDATE: 5th U.S. Patient Arrives as Dallas Man Remains in 'Critical' Condition
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
As a U.S. man being treated for Ebola in Dallas, Texas, remains in critical condition, a fifth American to have contracted the disease while in West Africa has arrived at the Nebraska Medical Center. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said it will work "very closely" with the Nebraska hospital on the treatment of Ashoka Mukpo, a freelance cameraman for NBC News. It is the same hospital that successfully treated and released Rick Sacra, MD, last month. Meanwhile, Thomas Eric Duncan continues to be treated at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital. "Our hopes and prayers are with him. We recognize this is a critical time for him and for his family," said CDC Director Thomas Frieden, MD, MPH. Read more on Ebola.
Study: Days of Highest Physical Activity Are Also Days When We Drink the Most
The days when people get the most exercise are also the days when they drink the most alcohol, according to a new study in the journal Health Psychology. Researchers utilized smartphone technology to enable 150 participants ages 18-89 to record their physical activity and alcohol use every day for 21 consecutive days, three times a year. "Perhaps people reward themselves for working out by having more to drink or maybe being physically active leads them to encountering more social situations where alcohol is consumed—we don't know," said David E. Conroy, PhD, professor in Preventive Medicine-Behavioral Medicine at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. "Once we understand the connection between the two variables we can design novel interventions that promote physical activity while curbing alcohol use." Read more on alcohol.
Study: Children in Walkable Communities Have Lower BMIs
Children who live in walkable neighborhoods also have lower average Body Mass Indexes (BMI), a popular measure used to assess physical health, according to a new study in journal Environmental Health Perspectives. Researcher analyzed geocoded residential address data from the electronic health records of nearly 50,000 children and adolescents, ages 4 to 18 years, finding that several links between walkability and healthier weights, including the fact that quartile of children who lived closest to recreational open spaces had lower BMIs that the quartile of children who lived farthest from such spaces. The researchers concluded that modifying existing neighborhoods to make them more walkable could help reduce childhood obesity. Read more on obesity.

EBOLA OUTBREAK: WHO Says Ebola is Spreading at a Faster Rate than Health Workers Can Handle
(NewPublicHealth is monitoring the public health crisis in West Africa.)
Earlier this week, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the Ebola outbreak in West Africa—the largest in history—shows no signs of slowing down. Today the global health organization followed that by declaring that health officials are currently unable to handle the growing number of cases. "In the three hardest hit countries, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, the number of new cases is moving far faster than the capacity to manage them in the Ebola-specific treatment centers," said Margaret Chan, the WHO director-general, according to CNN. "Today, there is not one single bed available for the treatment of an Ebola patient in the entire country of Liberia." More than 2,400 people have died from Ebola since the start of the outbreak.

Study: Majority of Nursing Home Residents with Advanced Dementia Receive Questionable Medications
The majority of nursing home residents dealing with advanced dementia receive medications that are both questionable—if not outright ineffective—and cost them needless amounts of money, according to a new study in JAMA Internal Medicine. In a review of 5,406 nursing home residents with advanced dementia, researchers determined that slightly more than half (53.9 percent) received at least one medication with questionable benefit; the medications constituted approximately 35.2 percent of the total cost of care for those patients. According to the researchers, the patients' goals of care should dictate the treatment they receive when dealing with a terminal illness, and medications that don't promote that primary goal should be minimized.

Study: 'Fat Shaming' is Counterproductive
"Fat shaming" does not promote weight loss and in fact can be counterproductive, according to a new study in the journal Obesity. In an analysis of nearly 3,000 adults tracked over four years, researchers determined that weight discrimination was associated with a weight gain of approximately 2 pounds, while the participants who reported no fat shaming lost an average of 1.5 pounds. "Our study clearly shows that weight discrimination is part of the obesity problem and not the solution," said the study's senior author, Jane Wardle, director of the Cancer Research UK Health Behaviour Centre at University College London (UCL), in a release. "Weight bias has been documented not only among the general public but also among health professionals, and many obese patients report being treated disrespectfully by doctors because of their weight. Everyone, including doctors, should stop blaming and shaming people for their weight and offer support, and where appropriate, treatment." Read more on obesity.

Approximately $600 million in supplies is needed to combat the ongoing Ebola outbreak in West Africa, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), while Canadian health officials continue to work on a way to transport an experimental treatment to the affected area. "We are now working with the WHO to address complex regulatory, logistical and ethical issues so that the vaccine can be safely and ethically deployed as rapidly as possible," said Health Canada spokesman Sean Upton, in a statement. "For example, the logistics surrounding the safe delivery of the vaccine are complicated." More than 1,900 people have died in the outbreak. Read more on Ebola.
RWJF, TFAH Report Finds State Obesity Rates Continue to Remain High
Adult obesity rates continue to be high across the country, with rates increasing in six states and decreasing in none over the past year, according to a new report from the Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). The report, The State of Obesity: Better Policies for a Healthier America, found that rates climbed in Alaska, Delaware, Idaho, New Jersey, Tennessee and Wyoming. Mississippi and West Virginia have the highest rates, at 35.1 percent, and no state has a rate below 21 percent. "Obesity in America is at a critical juncture. Obesity rates are unacceptably high, and the disparities in rates are profoundly troubling," said Jeffrey Levi, PhD, executive director of TFAH, in a release. "We need to intensify prevention efforts starting in early childhood, and do a better job of implementing effective policies and programs in all communities—so every American has the greatest opportunity to have a healthy weight and live a healthy life."

Study: Women Are Underrepresented in Surgical Research
A review of more than 600 studies in five major surgical journals found that males are vastly overrepresented, calling into question how the findings will translate for female patients. The journals— Annals of Surgery, American Journal of Surgery, JAMA Surgery, Journal of Surgical Research and Surgery—responded by announcing they will now require study authors to report the sex of animals and cells in their research, or to explain why only one sex was analyzed. "Women make up half the population, but in surgical literature, 80 percent of the studies only use males," study senior author Melina Kibbe, MD, professor of surgical research at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said in a release. "We need to do better and provide basic research on both sexes to ultimately improve treatments for male and female patients." The study appeared in the journal Surgery.

Question about parent and child
Hi all,
I have been using CSS for a few months now and i thought i had started to get to grips with its quirks, however something baffled me today.
I had a parent div which was set to float images right, and then about 2 children in, i had a div which was set to float the images left, however the images would always float right and not take notice of my child div.
So basically the code was...
Code:parentdiv1 { border: 1px dashed blue; } parentdiv1 img { float: right; } ...snip mycurrentchild { border: 1px dashed red; } mycurrentchild img { float: left; }
I have fixed the problem by removing the "float: right" in the "parentdiv1 img" but it seems a bit wierd because i may have actually wanted an image floating right in that div and one floating left in my child div. Why has it done this?
Incidentally, whilst the rest of the page is absolutely screwed in IE the float actually worked

Please include the test markup as well; if your style rules are as you pasted, they are wrong: they try to select parentdiv1 and currentchild elements, which obviously don't exist. If you used classes instead, the style rules should read ".parentdiv1 ..." and ".currentchild ..." (notice the dot in front).

Basically it was making the images go diagonally down from left to right.

Hi everyone... so I just got an order of two trees from Logee's, a smaller 8 inch Meyer and a sprawling 18 inch Rangpur lime. My problem is that the Rangpur is growing out at an awkward sideways angle. Is there anyway to train this to grow straight up, more like a classic tree? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd put a stake down into the soil on the right side of the pot. Then tie the sprout to the stake. You could also insert a stake right next to the tree and tie in several places to straighten it up. After one year it will remain in place. |
Thanks for the help. I staked it up, looks a little awkward but less so than a tree growing sideways. |
Why don't you post another pic staked? That way we can make sure it's done correctly. How much pressure did it give you when you forced it upright? Sometimes they look real funny staked, not very straight at all with large gaps between where it's tied. But if you adjust the ties every so often to different spots, in time it will appear to straighten (though many won't ever be perfectly straight). |
Oops, I thought the last reply to this thread was mine! Hopefully you read this. I was pretty unclear, I think, on what I wanted. I was hoping I could train the long branch to grow upwards and be the main trunk of the tree. What should be the main trunk seems to have been pruned off at an odd angle, so I had to bend it back to be able to tie the long branch to the stake. |
Zecowsay, That was what I ended up doing when I got my keylime from them. Actually I took a risk and sparyed water onto the bottom part of the trunk and then put rooting hormone on it. I then buried the whole section that was wet including the main leader stump. What I had was a tree that was straight and I didn't end up with a dead tree. I say your on the right track. hope it works. Andrew |
Looks perfect to me. Nice job! |
Zeco, how is your rang-lime looking these days? I was curious since it's been almost a year, does it no longer need the stake or has it branched? Chris |

Below are the all-time best Canny Amah poems as chosen by PoetrySoup members
View ALL Canny Amah Poems
Modest woman moderate woman Your inner beauty strikes me Like the tongue of noble eloquence More than gold even refined gold Or our purged fulgent silver. Black woman proud woman Your pride is not haughty But a humble pride of eaglets; Your black eyes are so glittering As the eyes of our dark rivers Filled with messages of peace That banish the broody turmoil From those panting hearts Of your foreigned offsprings. Gentle mother diligent mother Your kindness kindles the fires Of my heart – Your dexterity dresses The table of our ageless history And the thought of your being – Oh kind mother! – Makes the most delicious menu For my heart. I remember your naked feet Fast and fair as a pigeon's limbs Treading the invisible paths Almost covered by shrubs Small shrubs misted by the prime mist. I remember the wood from the wood The water from the water And manifold items from jungle alleys Borne by your delicate hands And upon your soft black-haired head. I remember the constant match To markets and to farms And your bright face smeared with The ash dust Making you more beautiful Than any woman whose feet Ever touched the naked earth. I remember those burdens Upon your cheerful kin-souls And babies strapped to your backs Babes full of unspoken words To unborn others in patient wombs Waiting in an endless turn – Indeed, mother is dove! A black dove and a dark huntress A hunter's gift from the maker? Mother is like a weaver-bird Building a big foot-like nest Filled with corn and warmth A bundle of eagle-flight Mother is dove And the hunter calls her The clan's eternal dove. Oh, mother loving woman Gentle as our black horizon To you we humbly come From these far and lonely lands Hoping to grace our love and beauty Before that jealous grave Makes her temporary feast.
a trip thru two spheres what wilful shadows of realities with a dead bursting into life
Dearest Vicar – As a poet's lines: It is divinity proper! Onions figure In our everlasting divinings: Her white ashes Of our burn-fire And the dew of dawn's tears Still coax the rainbow To no avail Her white ashes Splashing wet-dusts of dark days: Cocks crow in vain?
hail, someone, death is hell he was well so well soothing like waters from the well & the world did him hail tho' sad but not so sad like hell ah, death-harbinger as on a rail crept in but who could tell which way she came oh, tell as some practiced steps did fell & the voice from deep-set hell trembling rose like the bliss of hail.
I: let me sing the weaver's songs! the songs of old nature - carrying a retinue of willing dancers from yon vale to thither hills amidst these boughs of lively nature o, boughs, long-held in old tales! where fairies played games in gardens of lavish feasts & yet-to-be-heard rhythms. let me sing the weaver's songs! the songs of old nature - drumming for the entire clime love songs in the dance-steps of naked dancers & rustic elders o, love songs that in ancient times ordained the full & rushing thrills of queens, pages & their kings! let me sing the weaver's songs! the songs of old nature - 'twas these same drum-songs that beckoned on sleeping sages to wake at the hunter's voice - 'twas these same drum-songs that held the lions & death's paws & gave beasts in feasts to clans! let me sing the weaver's songs! the songs of old nature - the drum-songs of the paths that traced into the deepest roots of clans - o, my clans! whose elders languish beside the Niger's banks; & let my songs begin in newness of the old – o, let me sing & dance singing the weaver's songs; singing the songs of old nature – o, let me sing beside Niger's banks!
my song is gone my lips cannot speak my tongue's tied my head's turn'd bald o'er-night my people what do you say? death's cruel! death's a grinding machine show me the house that receives her blow & stands firm!
(for: them who are ever there!) these branches and roots that cord to the grave ancients should be free from man's swords! both oracle and priest held for days … I Your voice speaks in the silence of the night To the deep still shady earth That once held a great zest for our childhood Here in the once thick wooded land Where progenitors strewed their rustic huts Yes! where, sang tho' unseen those sonorous kin-spirits. 2 Ah! Happy and keen folks were the ancients, then; But their sons? what a sad lot, now! even Demented hearts aching from those drinks of dizzy times Raw anguish, sorrow, painful hemlocks of death-lines, The slow songs that tune softly to the mirthful graves That still hold the ancestors like prisoners in the wild caves. 3 O! for your unravished wave of primal welcome, That bade the sonorous weaver come To make loud greeting of blue azure with song-fleet O! for such uudecoded song that for the sagging flesh bear ointment Secret balm from the rhyming unsteady palm leaves of the winds That flute clearly to ancestors those eternal silent songs. 4 Known are those festal spirits of your night From whom many lives readily spring forth: Mused thru' the voices of strong mortal compeers – Priests, priestesses, praise-singers, warriors, dancers! That with gusto, flounder across the space of time; O, for those festal moments of flush! o, for the celestial clime! 5 You are the unseen bridge of the world, Like Nturukpa, that elder amongst our ferry trees; Your bark exhumes the bright colours of the past; And carried thru' the festal wings of your night We desire to be mused to the ethereal clime; Of uncurbed equanimity and euphoria of the divine. 6 I now know the anguish of these festal spirits Who take refuge on the water-void banks Of the topmost branches and leaves; I now know the noise of their feasts in sacrifices: Doleful sacrifices in the gods' swollen foot! Then adieu! adieu! from the cloyed humans in advent! 7 O farewell! with all your festal spirits, Who coaxed to the night of sacrifices, priests, Priestesses, dancers, praise-singers, warriors of the land; Adieu! with these cold celebrations and coax-throated songs heard, Thru' the voice and echoes of rain's thunder, In the day of the panther and his noble twin, the hunter.
from this forest where wild life once blossom'd & from streams where young sweety fishes up-turn'd a thousand fragrance in some belly-wise shows gasping bubbling drumming to many lips to a ceremony of delicacies – & then mother i was a scukling babling crawling swept by the clan's lovely drum & then mother i was a todler graduating from your ready back-straps jumping dancing suffocating in the dramatic ecstacies of the native drum - oh, i greet, mother & your folks swept by these new drums of the bombs singing of the poverty in the land - oh, weep not, niger!
she spoke to us she open'd her lips less before she went beside the river-beds now we wish'd she could speak again & again & again our tears know no bounds!
an half-part of his face painted white as of spirits & the other side being human he steps into the esplanade isn't he the symbol of deity? didn't ikenga his father do same? didn't his foremost great fathers the fathers of the nine clans the nine clans by this river - oh, didn't they all do same in appeasement of this angry niger? they stood in aware of this flood-gate of the waters of the millennium - come, fathers, come, save our souls the souls of the renegades of the nine clans by this river - the floods have taken captive the boundlessness of your lands ah, niger, the weeping one!

OK. Well, there are lots of us who think the same could be said of anyone. Still, that doesn't mean halos can't be used however the artist sees fit. It's art, not some divination guidebook.
Yay! I have been needing a good red woot... plus I love the reference. It does remind me quite a bit of mr.Toast, and I still regret not picking that one up. But I jumped on this band-wagon as soon as I saw it so I can get the awesomeness that isn't Mr.Toast or Friends are forever, but has that same awesome vibe. I am excited to have a red woot that I will wear, unlike that uninteresting random red I got like 5 random shirts ago... but I digress... Thank you for making such a awesome shirt that I will be wearing to my church as well as to my tea houses... coffee shops... ect. YAY! In for one.
This shirt made me giggle. If I got it in a random, I would be pleased. Too poor to buy it today, though. Congrats radiomode!
Awesome design. One of my favorites from you. Congrats radiomode!
I like it a lot - a WHOLE lot In for one!
ericsdonut wrote:Someone explain to the genius what this shirt means??? I have caught on to the fact that it is mosses spreading the red sea thats about it, is that it??
Sadly, yes
Why red? Why not any color but red? Perhaps for a friend.
Like that someone has finally thrown down a red shirt and a distinctly vibrant red at that. The design isn't bad, but personally as soon as I saw this shirt the movie "Bruce Almighty" immediately came to mind. Specifically the part where he's in the diner and he parts the red soup.
Well, I suppose it could be red tea...
Just bought one, first item I bought on woot! It's such an awesome shirt, it's too comical.
Mmmph. Not terribly impressed, but hey, congratulations to the illustrator.
I think "Splitting of the Tea" would have been a better name
nitrousoxide52 wrote:Another reason to buy this: To laugh at all the people who point out that Moses shouldn't have a halo, but say nothing about him being a teabag.
Ok, that made me lawl.... nice job, once again, radiomode!
ten commandments if my favorite holiday movie i had to pick this up ^_^ <3
Great design, not my color shirt. Pass
My mom's a tea-aholic, and i finally found her the pr=erfect Christmas Present! Thanks radiomode! Peace! Please!
That's perfect. So many people are like that these days.
Thanks people for the kind words!!!!!
reminds me a bit of any warhol...

I realize that means the whole tea bag is his head, with no body, but are there really any rules for drawing anthropomorphic tea bags? Either way, nice, clever design. Grats to the artist!
It's not a beard. PUUUBEZ

wow how could anyone think my post was anything but sarcastic, I just picked any google coffee cup picture and put them together as a joke. I think it worked well, also I don't ever intend on "letting go" untill theres omission on the said actions. I love broccoli , now it's been prostituted and I can never get that lovin broccoli feeling back again.
Too many missteps to pick this one up. Could have been a great design. Darn!
cute! ^_^

You'll find another vegetable... don't worry. Edit: Perhaps turnip?
Well, now I feel the jackass (that reads kinda dirty, actually, so errr, read that w/ a clean mind). I'd thought for sure that you were being sarcastic, and I feel dumb that I let the other guy's certitude make me doubt myself. And, yea, dude, broccoli's cheap like a $2 garden tool to my eyes now, too

I still get people who really puzzle over this one. It's one of the best conversation starter shirts I own!
The moustache is a stand-in for the classic teabag staple. Trust me, I've worn and explained this shirt enough times to know.

5 GREAT GAMElydfordlady | 03/11/2010 | See all lydfordlady's reviews (37)i totally disagree with the previous review. i was looking forward to getting this game, i used to play it years ago on my pc. i think this is a good game, however you have got to give it time to learn everything. there is sooooo much to do (and YES you can buy cars). It is great fun and very addictive. the new karma powers add a nice new twist too (you can cause heaven or havoc with yourself or your neighbours!) for example, you can go into your neighbours house and send in ghosts to spook them! i am pleased with this game and would recommend it! BRILLIANT.
5 BRILLIANT!!flyinpig | 05/11/2010 | See all flyinpig's reviews (11)this is a brill game! dono why the first review is soo bad?!? it is open in a sense.... you can go to 4 or so buildings but you have to travel to different areas (like different neighbourhoods) and it takes time to find all the different things you can do. also you need to work at the challenges to unlock all of the items. deffo worth the wait and im sure you will be pleased with it :)
5 Very Addictive and simply amazing!Whirlpool77 | 07/01/2011 | See all Whirlpool77's reviews (10)I cant see why this game is getting such bad reviews, its class. It may not be as good as the PC version but it has had a major improvement from The Sims 2. When I first started playing I felt like the other reviewers, but I decided to give it time and now I cant get off it! There is so many improvements I just wouldnt be able to write them all up, but the best is the ability to move from your own lot and explore a beautiful town. There is just so many things to do, and if you are like me and love to earn trophies and make the game a challenge then you should seriously consider getting this. With 300 in-game challenges it will keep you occupied for quite some time. Good job EA!
1 EA done a bad job!DevilBoi | 31/12/2010 | See all DevilBoi's reviews (3)BRILLIANT game, GREAT graphics, FUN to play!BUT... EA have left a MASSIVE problem within the game itself.I have had the game for 2monthes now and it has a constant problem... When you have played the game for 9 in-game weeks it will freeze up on the save screen resulting in wasted time and loss of progress!I have done a bit of poking around to find what the problem is and there is no answer from EA but alot of other complaints of the SAME thing! Save crash's / Freezing is not just from me its from alot more people on official sites too and would not reccomend getting it until it's sorted (IF it is) otherwise you would be wasting money on a game you cannot use properly! hope this helps!
1 Why make the same game again?JamesyJames411 | 01/11/2010 | See all JamesyJames411's reviews (1)I thought the whole thing with The Sims 3 was that you had a neighbourhood that revolved around you and you could walk/drive anywhere you wanted to, the game has actually went back in time to Sims 2, not alot of effort gone into the game, if anything copied and pasted from the sims 3(clothes etc.). The town screen is just a cartoon paper cut out (WHAT EFFORT?) loading screens for everywhere you go, the game has went back to just you and your house, forget about the neighbours, cant drive your car around(i dont even think you can buy them) very dissappointing, IF anything buy the game for the PC as this has what the makers promised and dont buy for any other console.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Yorkie!
Facts about Yorkie
- Breed: Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Mix
- Color: Silver & Tan (Yorkie Colors)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Yorkie's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Other Pets at SAFE (Saving Animals from Euthanasia) Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Yorkie, a Tucson Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier for sale in Tucson, or seeking a Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier dog from a breeder in Tucson.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tucson already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tucson breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier breeders who help with Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tucson paves the way for another one to be saved.

Toronto—Children vaccinated against hepatitis B virus or Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) are not at increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes, according to results of a large epidemiologic study of children enrolled in four health maintenance organizations (HMOs). The findings were reported at the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.
Furthermore, the age at which the children were vaccinated was not linked to an increased risk of developing the disorder, said Frank DeStefano, MD, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who presented the work.

When is a meaningless football game extraordinarily meaningful?
When a team has lost four of its last five games.
Cards top Seattle, will face Atlanta in playoffs
SLIDESHOW: Cardinals vs. Seahawks
Edge reemerges with 57th career 100-yard game
Cardinals notebook: Fitzgerald awakens offense
When it's been outscored 82-21 the previous two weeks.
When it looked like a plane that was heading into the side of a mountain.
Sure, the Cardinals' 34-21 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday didn't shed a light on their playoff chops. Seattle isn't Minnesota, New England or, more importantly, the Atlanta Falcons.
But consider the alternative. A loss would have ground the Cardinals' self-esteem into dust just six days before hosting their first playoff game in 51 years.
"After the last few games we played, we really needed a positive," said defensive end Antonio Smith, who admitted that the team's confidence had plummeted faster than the stock market. "That's why I think this was our most important game of the year."
The Cardinals weren't just wounded by their play the last month. They felt stung by criticism so soon after clinching the NFC West title. Coach Ken Whisenhunt went out of his way at the postgame press conference to chide those (here!) who had predicted that the Cardinals would finish with a losing record.
To be fair, Arizona should be commended for its 9-7 record and division title. Those aren't regular occurrences around here.
As running back Edgerrin James noted, "We have one of the 12 balls in the lottery machine." That alone makes this season a success.
But it became apparent weeks ago that the Cardinals were going to win the NFC West. What we wondered then - and what we still wonder - is whether they can make a deep run in the playoffs.
"Do we have the potential? Do we have the ability? We do," James said.
They also have the ability to fall flat on their face. It's anybody guess as to which team will show up Saturday. Arizona's first-half performance against the Seahawks certainly wasn't cause for optimism. It was 14-14 at halftime, and Seattle had 226 yards of total offense. Fans booed the Cardinals on four separate occasions and only stopped because they wanted to get in line at the concession stand.
But the Seahawks only managed 104 yards in the final two quarters, quarterback Kurt Warner found his rhythm, finishing with 263 yards passing and four touchdowns (his most since 2001), and the boos turned into cheers.
Did Arizona finally find the light switch? Or was it simply fortunate to be playing Seattle, which finished 4-12 and for some inexplicable reason decided not to double-team Larry Fitzgerald (five catches, 130 yards, two touchdowns)?
"If we play like we did today for three quarters, then I think we can go far, because we played pretty good football from that point," Whisenhunt said.
Warner talked at length about the Cardinals' energy level - "when we give anything and we come out with energy and we play the top of our game, we can beat anybody" - but he also seemed to question the team's maturity level in terms of understanding the commitment needed to win in the postseason.
"The bottom line is, are we going to have guys that are committed to that?" he said. "If we do, who knows. We could be playing four more weeks."
OK, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The Cardinals in the Super Bowl? What kind of bizarro world would we be living in?
But an opportunity awaits. For the first time in a decade, the talk isn't of misery, but anticipation.
Can the Cardinals stop Falcons running backs Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood?
Does James have another 100-yard game in him?
Who will win the quarterback duel: the aging gunslinger (Warner) or the young gun (Matt Ryan)?
"It's a chance of a lifetime," Warner said.
Whether Arizona spins that opportunity into gold, who knows.
But one thing is certain:
As long as it doesn't snow, the Cardinals have a shot.

i was also having pains in my ovaries but primarily my left ovary. At the time I had given up on the idea of being able to get pregnant and I was worried it was gonna be ovarian cancer or something crazy like that (haha I'm a freak) but my mom forced me to take a test after noticing my other symptoms and putting it together before I connected the dots and to my shock I was pregnant and 7 weeks along! Later i found out there was a cyst on that ovary but the doctor told me that sometimes women develop these cysts during pregnancy that later go away. He said that they help produce enough hormones for the baby.. So perhaps these pains are sometimes caused by the cysts growing that I now think of as "little helpers" ^_^posted 10/05/2007 by pregnantfatty

It takes guts to take on Germany's famed race track, the so-called Green Hell. Requiring even more guts is lapping the Nürburgring when it's covered in snow. And ice. In a Formula racecar. Nürburgring Driving Academy chief instructor Andy Gulden recently did just that, turning laps on the Nordschleife and Grand Prix course in a single-seat racecar.
Gulden's lap of the Nürburgring's White Hell takes place on a snow-covered Nordschleife and Grand Prix courses. Gulden proves that armed with no more than snow tires, and a basic understanding of physics, anyone can drive a rear-wheel drive car, no matter how powerful, in the snow.
While Gulden's lap looked incredibly fun, it's pretty clear he's just hooning about. We're hoping for a full hot lap of a snow-covered Nurburgring, hopefully sparking a new trend of manufacturers trying to one-up each other on both the dry and snow-covered track. Maybe that'll give Cadillac a follow-up to this year's Super Bowl commercial -- perhaps with the new tagline, "tell them to go to White Hell."
You can check out Gulden's run of the snow-covered Nürburgring in the video below.

Lawyer Todd Greenberg entered a not-guilty plea at the arraignment to charges of murder in the first degree and on additional charges that included tampering with evidence and strangulation. Bohn is scheduled to be back in court on Sept. 24.
If convicted of murder in the first degree he faces life in prison without parole. Such an indictment is handed up according to penal law when the defendant is suspected of torturing the victim and "evidenced a sense of pleasure in the infliction of extreme physical pain," said Queens District Attorney spokesman Kevin Ryan.
The evidence that allegedly supports the indictment will come out in court.
Bohn was held under suicide watch at Bellevue Hospital prison ward until recently.
Danielle Thomas, 27, left Florida in March to be with Bohn. She moved into his Astoria apartment and landed a position as an ad executive at Weight Watchers.
Officers were called to the apartment allegedly by Bohn on June 26 and discovered Thomas' body lying face up in a bathtub surrounded with bags of ice. There was bruising on her forehead, face, shoulders, chest and neck, as well as lacerations on her face, mouth and chest.
Officers also found two handwritten notes signed by "J" allegedly saying that he was drunk when the incident occurred.
Bohn avoided arrest for three days, but was taken into custody for the murder of Thomas on June 29 at a White Plains restaurant where he was dining with his mother and his attorney.

Dental care - adult
Dental care - adult
Alternative Names
Teeth - caring for
Tooth decay and gum disease are largely caused by plaque, a sticky combination of bacteria and food. Plaque begins to accumulate on teeth within 20 minutes after eating. If this plaque is not removed thoroughly each day, tooth decay will flourish. Over time, plaque will harden into tartar.
Plaque and tartar lead to a number of problems:
- Cavities -- holes that damage the structure of teeth
- Gingivitis -- swollen, inflamed, bleeding gums
- Periodontitis -- destruction of the ligaments and bone that support the teeth, often leading to tooth loss
- Bad breath (halitosis)
- Abscesses, pain, inability to use teeth
- A variety of health problems outside the mouth, from preterm labor to heart disease
Healthy teeth are clean and have no cavities. Healthy gums are pink and firm. To maintain healthy teeth and gums, follow these steps:
- Brush your teeth at least twice daily, preferably after every meal and at bedtime.
- Floss at least once per day.
- Schedule an appointment with a dentist for a routine cleaning and examination. Many dentists recommend having the teeth professionally cleaned every 6 months.
- Keep dentures, retainers, and other appliances clean. This includes regular brushing and may include soaking them in a cleansing solution.
Ask your dentist:
- What toothbrush you should use, and where your problem areas are located. Ask if an electric tooth brush is right for you. Such brushes have been shown to clean teeth better than manual tooth brushes.
- How to properly floss your teeth. Overly vigorous or improper flossing may injure the gums.
- Whether you should use any special appliances or tools, such as water irrigation. This may sometimes help supplement (but not replace) brushing and flossing.
- Whether you could benefit from particular toothpastes or mouth rinses. In some cases, over-the-counter pastes and rinses may be doing you more harm than good, depending on your condition.
Regular teeth cleaning by a dentist removes plaque that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult for you to reach on your own. Professional cleaning includes scaling and polishing. This uses various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth. Routine examination may include dental x-rays.

I had my first king cake last year and I got the little baby (Is the baby supposed to be Jesus? If so, it's weird that it's a lent thing and not a Christmas thing.). I thought it meant I would get good luck for a year, but as it turns out it means that you have to bake the next one. Elizabeth does most of the baking in this house, so the only baking I do is on her birthday (You can't make your own birthday cake, after all.). So I was worried about making the king cake, especially because with its doughnut-y texture, it's so different from a normal cake. As it turns out, with this basic recipe, it's not all that hard to make, and the results were delicious.
I was impressed with the airy texture of the cake, and it's subtle sweetness. The lemon and orange zests give it a nice hint of fragrance. Kings cakes aren't typically known for their beauty, so when it comes time to decorate, invite the kids to help out.
King Cake (adapted from Emeril Legasse)
for the cake
1/2 cup warm water
4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup, plus two teaspoons granulated sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour, plus some extra set aside
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
zest of one lemon
zest of one orange
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup warm milk
1/2 cup melted butter
5 egg yolks
King cake baby
for the glaze and decoration
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
Purple, gold, and green sugar crystals
In a bowl, mix the yeast, warm water, and two teaspoons of sugar. Set aside some place warm for 15 minutes.
After the yeast mixture has sat for 15 minutes, combine in the the bowl of your mixer or in a large mixing bowl the flour, the remaining granulated sugar, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, the lemon and orange zest, the milk, the butter, the egg yolks, and the yeast mixture. Mix until the ingredients are combined.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. As you knead, work in a little bit more flour until the dough isn't sticky (It shouldn't take much). Knead until the dough is smooth, then transfer the dough to a well-greased bowl. Cover with a wet towel and set aside for 1.5 hours.
Return the dough to the floured work surface and punch it down. Then roll it into a long cylinder. On a greased cookie sheet, shape it into a ring, taking care to work the ends into one another to form a continuous ring. Place a large tomato can in the center of the ring, cover with the towel again and wait 40-45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
After the dough has risen, bake for about 30 minutes or until the cake is golden brown.
Cool for thirty minutes, then make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, and two tablespoons each of water and lemon juice. Mix well. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and then sprinkle with the sugar crystals.

THE SUNDANCE SCENE: Has the Sundance Film Festival succeeded in returning to its roots? Well, sort of. Founder Robert Redford has decried the emphasis on gift suites, rowdy parties and wannabe celebs. This year's fest in Park City, Utah, which wraps on Sunday, premiered more than 100 independent features and documentaries, including a new category for low-budget projects.
But the economic downturn might have had the strongest impact on toning down the Tinseltown effect, with fewer logo-plastered storefronts, advertising lounges and swag suites.
"The economy, to be honest, has affected that," said Katie Kennedy, Sundance's associate director of corporate development. "But it's also the efforts we make to protect our sponsors from competitors who use ambush and guerrilla marketing techniques."
Although official sponsors include Timberland and L'Oréal, brands not affiliated with Sundance have found ways to integrate themselves into the festival, some more organically than others. On Jan. 23, Gucci staged dinner for 20 at the High West Distillery for recipients of the Gucci Tribeca Documentary Fund, whose films had premieres at the festival. The fund, now in its third year, annually provides grants totaling $100,000 to at least four filmmakers.
No film festival is ever devoid of parties, but Sundance staffers managed to relegate most of them to the commercially zoned Main Street in Old Town Park City. On Jan. 22, Seven For All Mankind teamed with Gen Art to host the third annual Seven Fresh Faces in Film event honoring rising stars Zoe Kazan, Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Ferguson, Kevin Zegers, Shiloh Fernandez, Shawn Ashmore and Zoe Lister Jones.
"So many people come here just to gift product and they don't really support the actors or the films," said Seven For All Mankind president Topher Gaylord, who touched down for the party en route to opening the company's first store in Beijing. "We support these up-and-comers because what they do is the ultimate creative expression, and we hope that the relationships we make here will continue what we do at home in Los Angeles."
One of the busiest swag suites was the Fred Segal Fun "boutique," near the festival headquarters, featuring vendors that sell in owner Jaclyne Brander's Santa Monica, Calif., store. "I tell vendors they can get more press here in five days than they get in a year," Brander said.

White Paper: Three Mistakes Companies Make When it Comes to Vulnerability Management
Vulnerability management has become a term that continues to be thrown around in security circles as a quick and easy path to threat remediation. However, the reality is that most companies are not actually managing vulnerabilities, but rather conducting scans that produce thousands of potential threats. Identifying possible security risks and actually managing them through to remediation are completely different things.

The 23rd International Fly Tying Symposium will take place Saturday and Sunday in Somerset, N.J. — but this year, the event will be held not in the ballroom of the Doubletree Hotel, but in the next-door Garden State Exhibition Center, the much larger space where The Fly Fishing Show is held every January....

England Cricket Match Held Up By Monkeys (PICTURES)
England's warm-up match in Ahmedabad ahead of next week's first Test against India was stopped when monkeys invaded the pitch.
Past England matches have been interrupted by lizards and even a snake.
Against Bangladesh's A team during their 2003 tour, a cobra fell from a tree and worked its way around the boundary.
The panicked crowd duly scampered, apart from two brave attendants who clubbed the snake to death with a chair. Howzat for entertainment?

Today's monkey invaders also evoked memories of one of Alan Partridge's greatest suggestions. Alas, it wasn't tennis...
