Burned Mouth Syndrome (BMS)
Burning tongue syndrome (BMS) has many different alternative names including scalded mouth syndrome, burning lips syndrome, glossodynia, glossopyrosis, stomatodynia, stomatopyrosis, and oral galvanism. Regardless of the name, the condition involves chronic, burning pain in the tongue, gums, lips, and inside of the mouth.
While there aren't any visible signs or lesions to observe, the very real pain can range from moderate to severe, and some have compared its intensity to that of a toothache.
BMS usually begins without any recognizable trigger, and may last for a few weeks, months, or even years.
Diagnosis is usually a process of ruling out other possible conditions, and treatment varies from lifestyle changes in diet and behavior to the administration of traditional drugs.
Two thirds of those reporting BMS will have recovered in 6-7 years as constant pain and discomfort becomes more episodic. There is no known prevention for this problem at present.
The most obvious symptom of BMS is an unpleasant to painful burning sensation on the tongue, lips, gums, palate, throat, or even in the whole mouth. It is also possible to have a numbing or tingling sensation in the mouth or on the tip of the tongue.
Interestingly, most patients report that they awake with little or no pain and the intensity increases as the day progresses, peaking by bedtime. They experience little or no pain during the night hours, starting the cycle anew each day. Some report having a very dry mouth and increased thirst. Another symptom may be a loss of taste or a change from normal to a bitter or metallic one that lingers in the mouth. These evidences of BMS may be continuous or periodic.
While the actual causes of BMS have yet to be been clearly established, it seems that the condition can be divided into two general categories. When the outbreak has no identifiable cause, it is treated as "primary" or "idiopathic" BMS. Researchers suspect that there is a dysfunction of the sensory and taste nerve of the peripheral and/or the central nervous systems.
The cranial nerves are also associated with the taste sensations. "Supertasters," those people with a really high density of the small papillae that contain the taste buds seem to be slightly more prone to BMS, possibly because all those extra taste receptors are surrounded by basket-like clusters of pain neurons that may fire up if the taste buds stop functioning, as often happens during menopause.
Secondary BMS
If an underlying problem is identified and BMS becomes a symptom of the greater illness, the term "secondary" BMS is used. As mentioned previously menopause seems to be a key player in this health issue. As a woman's estrogen levels drop in pre-menopause, it fades from her saliva as well.
With the loss of function of her bitter taste buds, it would appear that the pain neurons are activated and BMS may be the result. The fact that 40% of menopausal women suffer from this condition that starts about 3 years before menopause and lasts as long as 12 years after, seems to support this theory.
Other Possible Causes
- Oral candida (yeast infection of mouth)
- Hormonal deficiencies or abnormalities
- Diabetes (specifically Type 2)
- Dry mouth
- Blood abnormalities (anemia, dyscrasias)
- Medications (especially those given for high blood pressure)
- Endocrine disorders (hypothyroidism)
- Nutritional deficiencies (B vitamins, niacin, folic acid, iron, zinc)
- Allergies (food, gum, toothpaste, mouthwash)
- Gastric acid reflux
- Dental procedures
- Dental disease
- Unhealthy oral habits (biting tongue, thrusting tongue, grinding teeth)
- Chronic infection
- Inflammatory disorders
- Tobacco use
- Oral cancer
- Nerve damage
- Too many acidic drinks
- Mouth irritation (excessive tongue brushing)
- Use of ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzymes)
- Dentures (stressing muscles and tissues or causing allergic reaction in surrounding tissues)
Risk Factors
Most sufferers of BMS are middle-aged women between the ages of fifty and seventy years. They are seven times more likely to be affected than men, which may support the argument for hormonal imbalance experienced during menopause as the most frequent underlying condition.
There doesn't appear to be an identifiable trigger, and the onset is usually spontaneous. Approximately 30% of those diagnosed with BMS report recent dental procedures, illnesses, or newly prescribed medications in their history intake.
Other important factors seem to be stress or a traumatic life event, allergic reactions, upper respiratory infections, and excessive taste bud loaded papillae.
Tests and Diagnosis
Because there is no present consensus on the origins or causes of BMS, most doctors will try to diagnose this condition by process of elimination, ruling out all other possibilities. The patient can typically expect a review of personal medical history and current medications being taken. The mouth will be thoroughly examined and cultures taken.
The doctor will want to know about the symptoms being presented as well as the oral habits and mouth care of the patient. Most doctors will want to do a complete general medical examination while they search for an underlying condition that may have triggered this attack. Blood tests will be part of that process as well. It may be necessary to have an imaging test such as an MRI or CT scan.
Allergy tests and saliva measurements are often included, as is a test for gastric reflux. Finally, the last item will probably be a psychological questionnaire to analyze the levels of stress the patient may be experiencing.
While each person who suffers from BMS is unique, some associated problems seem to be held in common. It is not unusual for patients to express difficulty in sleeping. Whether this insomnia is caused by increased levels of evening pain or the stress associated with having this illness is uncertain. In a similar fashion, it is not always clear whether the accompanying depression is a cause of the BMS or a result of trying to deal with this illusive illness.
Irritability and anxiety are understandably often part of the package too. Some patients report difficulty eating because of the persistent pain in their mouths or on their tongues or lips. Others stop or decrease their times of socializing because of the discomfort and distraction that BMS causes.
Since there is no known cure or universal treatment for primary BMS, each patient will be dealt with according to the individual presenting symptoms. The goal will be to alleviate the pain as much as possible, or if that fails, at least to manage it.
There are several drugs currently available including Klonopin, a lozenge type form of the anti-convulsant drug clonazepam. Patients have reported some relief with this medication.
Secondary BMS Treatment
Concerning secondary BMS, the treatment protocol involves identifying the underlying cause and then addressing it as a way to eliminate the presenting burning mouth or tongue issues. Recommendations can include traditional drugs, alternative health care, and lifestyle changes. It would appear that the combination of lifestyle adjustments and alternative health practices offers the best results for many patients. However, some underlying conditions require very serious attention and become the primary focus of treatment, at least initially.
Alpha-lipoic acid is a strong antioxidant that seems to benefit BMS suffers. Oral thrush medications can be prescribed as well as saliva replacement products. There are also special oral rinses and mouthwash products that a doctor may include in the treatment regimen.
Home Remedies
Some of the simplest home remedies can actually bring almost instantaneous relief to the BMS sufferer. They are as uncomplicated as sucking on ice, keeping one's mouth moist by sipping extra water, and increasing daily intake of certain foods. Eating "plain" food and lots of boiled vegetables is a good place to start. Foods high in Vitamin B need to be included in the menu.
Meat, brown rice, fish, wheat germ, whole grain cereals, and soybeans are all great sources of Vitamin B. Also, foods rich in iron such as red meats, liver, cashews, figs, and Special K cereal are recommended additions, especially in cases where the underlying condition may be anemia. Adding certain fresh fruits and vegetables to a healthy diet can also help.
Applying glycerin to the tongue has been reported to bring relief, as has eating honey with milk. It seems the combination increases the blood flow to the tongue which encourages a healthier response from the pain neurons.
More Homeopathic Remedies
Another homeopathic treatment involves applying lavender oil to the tongue and leaving it there over night. Lavender oil is actually a powerful antiseptic. Some doctors recommend topical Capsaicin, a cream pain reliever made from chili peppers. Its purpose is to desensitize the tongue and mouth from the burning sensations.
There are simple lifestyle choices that can also make a difference in reducing the pain from BMS. Sugar-free gums will keep the mouth and tongue moist. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco are also important. Both smoking and chewing tobacco can be problematic if BMS is diagnosed.
Ironically, while the doctor may have prescribed Capsaicin cream for your tongue, it is best not indulge in spicy foods because of added irritation within the mouth. Others to avoid include acidic foods and liquids such as some fruit juices. Eliminating soft drinks and coffee are important changes to one's diet as well.
It may be necessary to switch out a favorite toothpaste, especially if the one in question contains sodium laurylsulfate. Baking soda is always a good safe alternative. While in the bathroom, check out the mouthwash also, to make sure there is no alcohol in it.
Behavior Concerns
Although hormonal imbalances have taken first place as a plausible cause of BMS, to date there is no conclusive evidence that hormone replacement therapy has had a significant effect in successfully treating this problem. If a doctor determines that psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or depression are the causes and not the symptoms of BMS, antidepressants may be prescribed.
Cognitive behavior therapy has also been used to treat this condition. The bottom line may be to make as many lifestyle changes as possible to reduce the negative effects of stress and anxiety in one's life.
The expense of finding relief from the pain of BMS is directly related to the number of professionals one may visit and the amount of health insurance in place. Many sufferers first consult their dentist because they view their mouth problems as dental care issues. From there, they may consult a family physician who will probably send them on to a specialist.
Add to these visits, the cost for all the preliminary tests, and the price continues to rise. Throw in a CT scan or MRI and it's beginning to be really costly for the person without good health insurance. Some of the drug regimens are expensive, and so is a visit to the psychologist. If the patient doesn't already suffer from anxiety or depression, rising health costs may do it.
The best approach would seem to be to try the easiest and least expensive treatment suggestions first. It may not be necessary to seek further expensive care. To the sufferers of BMS, this is no minor problem that can be easily overlooked. Imagine a toothache that lasted for years. For some, any price is worth getting relief.
In the past, because of the lack of physical symptoms in the mouth and on the tongue, many patients' complaints were not taken seriously. Add that to the fact that the majority of complainers were middle-aged women in the throes of menopause, and the seriousness of the ailment often came into question. It was not unusual to be told that one was imagining the discomfort.
Today, however, the medical profession is more aware and sympathetic to this problem. Increased research seeks to understand the etiology and the pathogenesis so that more effective treatments can be prescribed. The dental field is also involved since dental procedures and problems seem to sometimes precede the onset of BMS.
It is to be hoped that in the near future, much more definitive knowledge will be available and better treatment protocols in place. Until then, trial and error of both traditional drug therapies and alternative health recovery plans, when combined with relevant lifestyle changes, are the best chance one has to find relief from the pain of BMS.

how about like hot coffee burns in the mouth
Day 1: Strange blisters started to form on the roof of my mouth. Day 2: Blisters grew larger. Later that evening, I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth and popped the blisters, then rinsed. Day 3-4: The roof of my mouth was still raw and sore, but the blisters did not come back. My gums on my upper right back teeth started to hurt and my teeth felt like they were going to fall out. Eating became painful (stung). Day 5-6: In addition to my gums hurting, my inner cheeks felt sore and started to burn. Took vitamin B complex, some iron, got an acupuncture treatment (to relieve the heat from my mouth). Day 7: My gums and cheeks and roof of mouth felt better, but my tongue was now raw in patches and at the tip (and burned). My lips on the inside also looked as though the skin had worn off. I chewed sugarless gum all day, rinsed a lot, continued with B vitamins and iron. Day 8: Tongue felt a bit better, gums, cheeks, and roof of mouth completely better, lips still raw. Used a lot of petroleum jelly (even on the inside) and dabbed lavender oil inside my mouth (lightly). I had read that BMS could last for several months, but I think I'll be fully recovered in about 10 days. This is an extremely uncomfortable problem. It actually hurt to eat anything dry at all (bread, sunflower seeds, etc.). I've been hydrating a lot and feel a lot better. Note that I had a minor dental procedure about 3-4 days before the original BMS presented itself. I had anesthesia (local) and topical resin was applied to my front teeth to cover some missing enamel. Not sure if it related or not. No other symptoms, illnesses, or blisters or anything on the outside of my mouth or anywhere on my body.
I have had BMS for about 10 years and been to many professionals but no cure.
I put Ambesol on my gums everynight to try to sleep but it doesn't help much and
am on 100 mg of Amitryptalene(sp).
Anyone else have success for this condition? -
I am a 48 year old female, post hysterectomy leaving the fallopian tubes, and have recently started hormaone therapy and I have had tongue problems ever since. For e, it started by feeling like my tongue was too big, after that subsided the tip of my tongues has felt just like I had sipped too hot coffee! It's been three weeks and I see my doctor in another two weeks so we shall see what happens next.
I found this site very interesting and helped immensely i have had numerous visits to the doctors had blood tests i dont think they have ever taken me serious well they will now i know i have some idea of what i am talking about as before i hadn't a clue what it could be i'm almost positive it is BMS as i tick most of the boxes, i'm not one for looking on the internet but was so distressed with it, thanx for the good info
Long time sufferer -
burning mouth syndrome;I CAN TELL YOU NOW THAT I AM 67 YEARS OLD AND HAVE HAD THIS SYNDROME SINCE 1998.IT HAS BEEN WITH ME EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE SINCE THEN. NO AWARDS HERE ONLY SKEPTICISM FROM DENTISTS AND DOCTORS OF SPECIALTIES. THEY ARE TAKING IT SERIOUSLY NOW,I JUST READ ON LINE ABOUT CLONAZEPAM,I THINK GENERIC NAME IS KLONOPIN,IWILL TRY IT,IF I CAN CONVINCE DOCTOR TO PRESCRIBE IT .GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
Hi all.. Thought I was alone with this issue until I found this site! I'm 25 and have had this burning/itchy very painful sensation on the tip and middle of my tongue. It has some fine cuts on it, and have had it for about 2 weeks.. This is the 2nd time its ever happened and soo unbareable! Doctors can't seem to find the cause of it which makes it even harder to deal with! Sucking on an icecube relieves it for about 2 minutes.. Waiting for bloodtests to come back with some answers and hopefully treatment.
I have been suffering with this ailment for about 6 months now, seen doctors, dentist, peridontist and lastly a professor of dentistry who arranged for me to see a hypnotist. The first visit (this week) she didn't put me under but instead tried to find out as much as possible about my life, stresses etc. It is now not so much about the pain which only occurs occasionally, but with a VENGEANCE. My problem, whch is actually driving me crazy,is that my tongue seems
to have developed a vivid imagination and
I believe I have cotton thread wound
round my teeth, which actually on
occasion hurt because it gets wound round so tightly. My tonge feels huge cavities
behind 2 teeth and this tastes so vile, as well as the latest sympton which feels
like scales or plaque round all my teeth so as you can imagine I have a toothpick
in my mouth permanantly. Anyone ever have this? Please let me know so that I know I'm not going mad!
like crazy. I also have huge cavities at the back of 2 teeth, I
like mad -
I started in November 2013 with Burning Mouth Syndrome. I am 73 years old. I am desperately trying to find out if any cure or help has been found?? If anyone can help me, please send me information. I have tried so many products, but without any permanent relief!
Has any research regarding BMS been done since 2012?
My sympathies with all the suffered of BMS who have posted here. Homeopathic remedies are those that are made and prescribed in a very particular way and only by professional homeopaths. Lavender oil on the tongue may be helpful but it is NOT homeopathic.
I had no idea that this was an actual thing!I thought that I must have burned my tongue some how and it was not healing. I love spicy foods and cinnamon, but when I eat them now it is painful! I eat with a cold glass of water next to me all the time. I had some dental work before this began and never thought there was any connection. However, I am a 55 year old woman and just had carpal tunnel surgery, so there is an inflammatory component. This has been very enlightening!
Physician prescribed Fluconazole 150 for fungal infection. Just an hour after taking Flucon, started developing burning sensation of lips. By the time I woke in up the morning, lips were swollen, mouth had severe burning sensation, palms &feet severely tingling. rash at multiple places on the body.
Went to a dermatologist. He has now put me on streoid (mecapred 8 mg). Fungal infection and palms+feet tingling improving. But burning mouth and swollen lips still troubling a lot. Looking for some home remedies for burning mouth since already on too much medication.

Fall Table Runner
By: Katie for Sew Woodsy
Make your table seasonal with a beautiful hand painted decorative table runner. Warm up and make your home feel a little cozier.
- Drop Cloth, Scissors, Painters Tape, Parchment Paper
- Sewing Machine, White Thread
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ 2oz Multi-Surface Satin Acrylic Craft Paint – Carrot
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ 6oz Tintable Fabric Medium
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Arabesque Laser-Cut Stencils
- Martha Stewart Crafts™ Roller Tops
- First, lay down a long piece of parchment paper (or newspaper). You'll want something to protect the bottom surface of which you will be working on. My paint went through the drop cloth and if I had not lined my project with a protective piece of paper it would have ruined my counter top surface.
- Iron the desired amount of drop cloth you'll need for the project, and then proceed to hem the table runner with a sewing machine. I used the end of my drop cloth so I only needed to hem one side. However, after painting the drop cloth I realized how uneven the existing hem on the drop cloth was. You might want to hem all four edges yourself.
- Next, position your stencil where you want it to be. Secure it with a few pieces of painters tape. Now, prepare your paint mixture. You will want to mix 1 part medium to 2 parts paint. (Since my paint was half way finished I mixed everything in the existing bottle; however, if your project won't require a full or half bottle of paint I suggest you mix it in one of the empty bottles that comes with the roller tops kit). Now, you can begin to carefully roll the paint on to the stencil.
- After you finish painting a section carefully move the stencil to match the pattern and paint some more. Make sure you are covering the fabric generously with paint. *And, yes, I'm painting this project on our pool table! It was the longest possible space that I could use and spread out. If you don't have a pool table (or an extremely large table) you could always use the floor!
- I wanted to end the pattern the same way I started it. You'll notice my stencil has overlapped one-third of the already painted fabric. That's totally ok. The goal is to end where you begin. I also want to note how much I love the new roller tops. This makes painting stencils 100 times easier–glides easily and distributes paint evenly.
- Now, let your finished painted table runner rest for 24-hours.
- After your painted table runner has rested (and dried) for 24-hours you can heat set the fabric paint. I had never heard of heat setting until I was introduced to these paints. What heat setting does is make the paint permanent and washable. Using a piece of light weight fabric (like muslin as pictured) place it over the painted table runner. Place your iron (on high setting) on top of the muslin and keep on for 10-15 seconds. In fear of burning my projects I would keep the iron constantly moving; maintaining around 15 seconds on each area.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Alaskan king crab fishing is carried out during the fall months in the waters off the coast of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. The commercial harvest is performed during a very short season, and the catch is shipped worldwide. Large numbers of king crab are also caught in Russian and international waters.[1]
In 1980, at the peak of the king crab industry, Alaskan fisheries produced up to 200,000,000 lb (91,000,000 kg) of crab. However, by 1983, the total size of the catch had dropped by up to 90% in some places.[2] Several theories for the precipitous drop in the crab population have been proposed, including overfishing, warmer waters, and increased fish predation.[3] As a result the current season is very short and in the 2010 season only 24,000,000 lb (11,000,000 kg) of red king crab were "landed".[4]
Alaskan crab fishing is very dangerous, and the fatality rate among the fishermen is about 80 times the fatality rate of the average worker. It is suggested that, on average, one crab fisherman dies weekly during the seasons.[5]
Contents |
In Alaska, three species of king crab are caught commercially: the red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus, found in Bristol Bay, Norton Sound, and the Kodiak Archipelago), blue king crab (Paralithodes platypus, St. Matthew Island and the Pribilof Islands), and golden king crab (Lithodes aequispinus, Aleutian Islands). The red king crab is the most prized of the three for its meat. A fourth variety of king crab, the scarlet king crab (Lithodes couesi), is too small and rare to be commercially viable, even though its meat is considered sweet and tasty.[6] Specific size requirements must be met: only certain types of king crab are legal at different times of the year and only males can be kept.
The most popular crab-fishing months occur between October and January. The allocated time for a season continued to shrink – at one point a red crab season was only four days long. After 2005, each boat was given a quota based on their catch from previous years and how many crabs are available to catch. The fleet went from 251 boats down to 89. Currently the seasons last from two to four weeks.[3][7]
After the 2005 season, the Alaskan crab industry transitioned from a derby-style season to a quota system. This transition is known as rationalization. Under the old derby style, a large number of crews competed with each other to catch crab during a restrictive time window. Under the new Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) system, established owners have been given quotas which they can fill at a more relaxed pace. In theory, it is intended to be safer, which was the main rationale for the change in the fishing rules. The transition to the quota system was also expected to increase the value of crab, by limiting the market of available crab. An influx of foreign crab negated some of these gains during the 2006 season.[8]
The rationalization process put many crews out of work as the owners of many small boats found their assigned quotas too small to meet operating expenses; during the first season run under the IFQ system, the fleet shrank from over 250 boats to around 89 mostly larger boats with high quotas. [9]
Commercial fishing boats are between 12 to 75 m (39 to 246 ft) in length, are equipped with hydraulic systems to lift the catch, and are able to withstand the freezing weather of the Bering Sea.[3] Each fishing boat sets its own sailing schedule during the crabbing season, often staying out for days or weeks at a time.
Fishermen use a box-shaped trap called a pot which consists of a steel frame covered with a nylon mesh. Each pot weighs 600–800 lb (270–360 kg) and a ship may carry 150 to 300 pots.[7] Fish, usually herring or codfish, are placed inside as bait and then the pot is sunk to the sea floor where the king crab reside. The pots are dropped in a straight line (known as a "string") for easier retrieval. Red and blue king crabs can be found anywhere between the intertidal zone and a depth of 100 fathoms (600 ft). Golden king crabs live in depths between 100 and 400 fathoms (180–720 m, 600–2400 ft). The location of the pot is marked on the surface by a buoy which is later used for retrieval. After allowing the pots to rest on the sea floor (typically one to two days for red and blue king crabs, longer for golden king crabs), the pots are dragged back to the surface using a hydraulic winch with a pulley on the end called a "block." [3]
The pot is then brought on board the boat and the crew sorts the king crab. Any not meeting the regulation requirements are thrown back. The crab are stored live in a holding tank until the boat reaches shore, where they are sold. If the weather becomes too cold the live crabs may freeze and burst. If they are left in the tank for too long they will harm and possibly kill each other as they can be cannibalistic.[7] Even the rocking of the boat can cause damage to the crab, so boards are inserted in the holds to prevent excessive side-to-side movement. If a crab dies in the hold for any reason it releases toxins which can kill other crabs. If the crew fails to remove the dead crabs, they can poison the entire tank and ruin the catch.
Deckhands are paid a percentage of the profits after the owner's share is taken into account. This can range from nothing to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the size of the harvest. The so-called 'greenhorns' (deckhands in their first season of fishing) are paid a fixed sum of money.
Statistically, Alaskan crab fishing remains one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States.[5] In 2006, the Bureau of Labor Statistics ranked commercial fishing as the job occupation with the highest fatality rate with 141.7 per 100,000, almost 75 percent higher than the rate for pilots, flight engineers and loggers, the next most hazardous occupations.[10] However, Alaskan crab fishing specifically is even more dangerous with over 300 fatalities per 100,000.[11] Over 80% of these deaths are caused by drowning or hypothermia.[12] The fishermen are also susceptible to crippling injuries caused by working with heavy machinery and gear.[13]
In 1980, at the peak of the king crab industry, Alaskan fisheries produced 200 million pounds of crab. However, by 1983 the total size of the catch had dropped to less than 10% of this size.[14] Several theories for the precipitous drop in the crab population have been proposed including overfishing, warmer waters, and increased fish predation. The slow harvest forced many fishermen to diversify and catch snow crabs (such as bairdi|Tanner crab and snow crab) or cod. In recent years strict regulations have been enforced in order to responsibly manage the populations and allow them to rebound. The red and blue king crab population has stayed relatively low in almost all areas except Southeast Alaska since 1983, forcing many fishermen to concentrate on the golden king crab.[3]
King crab caught outside the United States is currently on the list of seafood that sustainability-minded consumers should avoid; the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch Program lists king crab caught in the United States as a "good alternative."[15]
The influx of crab from Russian fisheries has also created economic problems for U.S. crabbers. The amount of crab imported from Russia has increased from around 21 million pounds (9.5 million kilos) in 2004 to 37.5 million pounds (17 million kilos) in 2005 to more than 56 million pounds (25.45 million kilos) in 2007.[8] Much of this foreign crab is reportedly caught and imported illegally and has led to a steady decline in the price of crab from $3.55 per pound in 2003 to $3.21 in 2004, $2.74 in 2005 and $2.30 in 2007 for Aleutian gold king crab, and $5.15 per pound in 2003 to $4.70 in 2004 to $4.52 in 2005 and $4.24 in 2007 for Bristol Bay red king crab.[8]
Deadliest Catch is a documentary series aired by the Discovery Channel beginning in 2005. The show highlights the dangers of king crab fishing: freezing temperatures, turbulent seas, the pots that must be dragged up can weigh well over a ton when full, and, since the season is short – both because of regulations and the weather – fishermen often spend days at a time in very rough seas working long hours with little sleep.[7]

Rochester, N.Y. - Five Rochester elementary schools will expand their school day next school year. The schools were selected by a national program that will allow them to provide extra instructional time by adding 300 hours of school time for the year.
That's equivalent to eight extra school weeks.
That means students will see an extra 60 to 90 minutes to each school day, depending on the needs of the students in each school.
RCSD Superintendent Bolgen Vargas hopes the move will help bridge the gap between city and suburban schools.
According to the district, city elementary students get 972 hours per year of instructional time.
Compare that to 1,052 hours for suburban students and 1,735 hours for charter school students.
"We believe that this approach to expand the school day will allow us to meet the needs of the teachers and students in a way that we haven't been able to do in the past," Vargas said.
School 46 is one of the schools that will have a longer day.
"We'll start at eight in the morning and approximately go until 4:10 which also allows for extra time for parents and family time in the evening and we'll get our kids when they're nice and fresh in the morning," Principal T'Hani Pantoja said.
The schools were chosen for the program based on their success in completing a rigorous and comprehensive planning process.
That process involved a fully collaborative planning among teachers who voted for the program, community members, union officials, parents and administrators.
In addition to the core curriculum, students will have extra-curricular activities such as knitting, French class and participating in a step team.
The district said it has already had success at School 9 where the school day was extended to 5 p.m. this school year.
Staff told 13WHAM News that attendance at the school was at its highest and students say they're more engaged.
"First I was unhappy because I didn't want to stay in school for that long," said student Trenice Young, "but we get to learn extra stuff for the next year."
"I know they're going to start with, 'oh we have to be in school longer' but once they see what they're going to be doing, they will learn so much and gain so much more, Robert Burns of the Expanded Learning Program said.
Schools 9, 10, 23, 45 and 46 will take part in the program next school year.
Vargas said he hopes to add more schools in the future.

A Yogi's Way: Mindfulness-Based Classes & Counseling
Feb. 10, 2011
Dharma and Therapy in Service of the Heart's Release: A yogi's way is to practice awakening to presence, to learn to rest in the reality of the present moment, to know freedom as his or her own true nature, to dwell in the one who knows, to embody the sure heart's release.
Jonathan Reynolds is currently attending JFK University's Transpersonal Counseling Psychology Program, and hopes to further integrate the practices of meditation, therapy, embodiment, and conscious relationship into his own life and work. At each step of his unfolding, his intention has been to skillfully refine the thread of his own path — his interest in the relationship between seer, seeing, seen, and simplicity. Drawing on many wisdom traditions, Jonathan's teaching and counseling sessions are centrally rooted in Buddhist Vipassana Meditation, the Classical Yoga of Patanjali, and the Nondual Advaita Vedanta teachings of Shankara. He is a founding teacher of the Learning To Listen Yoga & Meditation Collective, a San Francisco-based Nonprofit Teaching Community committed to offering tools that promote conscious living.

Now that the season is over, 'American Idol' is on the hunt for a new set of judges. 'Idol' alum Adam Lambert tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that if he was offered a judging gig on the show, he'd definitely take it!
Now that Randy Jackson and Nicki Minaj are officially out, American Idol producers must find new judges to fill their spots for next season. Adam Lambert, who was runner-up on season eight of Idol, tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that he'd definitely be up for the challenge if producers offer him a spot as a judge!
Adam Lambert: Judging 'American Idol' Would Be 'Such A Reward'
If offered a spot as a judge, Adam tells us he wouldn't even hesitate:
Dude if they called me, "I'd be like yeah. Where do I sign?" It would be very cool. It would be exciting. It would be a really cool opportunity to help people coming into the show and to help them keep their vision focused because it does become overwhelming when you get in there and there's so many people telling you what they think you should do and your family, the producer, the judges, and all the other contestants that might be screwing with your head. I think it might be nice as a judge to help people stay focused. It gets crazy and to help them reach their dreams — it would be such a reward.

Jlo is sure going to be piss off about the news of Jennifer Hudson getting the gig as the next Idol judge, she was banking on this gig and the that new versions smartphone store venture that has already shipwreck before it got started because of bad publicity, from the public and in the smartphone industry according to sources that were involved in Jlo new home purchase in Water Mill, NY. Well it looks JLo going to have to back out on sales of her home, because after all the drama and the bad news, she isn't going to have any money to buy anything without any gig or joint venture?

He earned 6million dollars last year, toured three continents, performed with Cyndi Lauper, Nile Rodgers and Queen. His second album debuted at #1 on Billboard charts and received rave reviews including 4-stars from Rolling Stone. He also raised thousands of dollars for various charities and was honored with two awards from GLAAD.
At this very moment he is preparing to entertain 60,000 people, including heads-of-state and industry Icons, at Life Ball in Vienna.

He'd be great. His has a great knowledge of voice, he's articulate and funny and kind – great to look at – face, clothes, hair – I mean that's a nice extra :) Best of all, he's a great mentor we already know that. His voice has also been analysed by so many professionals and its facets and qualities are quite remarkable. To those who go eww, i say you really have no idea of his vocal repertoire. He's an international star of the first order, which might help Idol feel less provincial and like a little niche thing. It is broadcast round the world, though who knows if it still is.
I haven't watched Idol since Adam lost, but I would watch again if he were a judge. The only reason he's polarizing and hasn't had mega success since Idol is that he seems more interested in shock value in his concert performances and being a trendy follower in his song choices instead of living up to his potential by being a leader charting a path to mainstream, lasting greatness. We saw on Idol the caliber of Adam's performances and song choices, how truly great his singing voice can be, as well as his generosity and ear for music when singing with contestants out of his league talent-wise enabling him to blend well with them and hold back allowing them to shine. Thanks to Adam leading the way on Idol, many of the contestants these days are actual performers working the stage instead of just singers standing like statues. He's older now, and he's clearly learned his lesson about the necessity of tempering his performance for a mainstream TV audience. Since the awards fiasco he's always been completely appropriate and charming during his TV appearances. All of these qualities would make him an excellent judge who would be kind and helpful but honest, and it would be fun to get to see him on TV every week again.

i liked him as a contestant. have not liked him as a celebrity. but, i think he would be a good judge and good mentor. i also think he would be someone who could bring some relevance back to the show. if a makeup wearing homosexual can come in second while a contestant, with idol's demographic (midwest middle aged housewives, and hormoned out tween girls) i think he knows how to keep things appropriate for the idol audience- that said, even toned down, he might bring a new type of viewer to the show- and a type of viewer that has money to spend on albums. he would be a good choice, i think. and, actually, they've never had an idol winner be a judge, so that would be interesting/good, i think. i'm not ECSTATIC about it, but i actually think as part of the right team, he could be a good choice. gotta keep a country representative though… not sure who else would be good for the mix.

adam made it to second place when a contestant, so i think you're way off base to say he's polarizing. he knows his audience, and would behave differently as a judge than he does as a performer. that's what he did as a contestant. played to the audience. and he came in second, so… not very polarizing.
Posted at 7:06 PM on May 24, 2013
He became more polarizing after the show–what was that at the AMA's that had him banned from ABC for awhile? He has no cred as a judge when he doesn't even have a platinum record and has to go overseas to get an audience. He sees it as a career booster, looking to use the position like J-Lo did to get fans.
Why not get two industry insiders who know the business and rotate the third seat every week between the idols if they have to use idol alums?

Adam is a perfect person to be a judge on American Idol.He is extremely talented, is charismatic, has a wonderful sense of humor, is intelligent, articulate, has experience in various aspects of entertainment, is a kind-hearted person, is great to look at and can certainly understand what the contestants are going through.I would definitely watch if he were a judge.

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
Amsterdam has a wild reputation, thanks in part to its coffee shops, but it is very much a café society, filled with places to quaff a bier topped with two fingers of foam and to get a taste of gezelligheid, the Dutch personality trait at the crossroads of conviviality, friendliness, and knowing others' business. 'T Smalle sets the model for "brown cafés" (named for their cocoa-colored walls, said to be the product of tobacco smoke over many generations). Sitting at the confluence of two charming Jordaan canals, it has a Vermeer-worthy interior of leaded-glass windows and tile floors, and open-air tables on the dock (12 Egelantiersgracht; 31-20-623-9617). Equally classic Hoppe, by Spui Square, dates from 1670 and keeps up the old ways with no music and daily replenishment of the sand on the floor (18-20 Spui; 31-20-420-4420). Intimate Spanjer & Van Twist looks out on its own timeless Jordaan canal intersection and draws determinedly arty patrons; the traditional menu of croquettes and apple pie is a bit lighter here, and includes chicken on ciabbata (60 Leliegracht; 31-20-639-0109). New-wave cafés have zealously whitewashed walls and more varied menus. Walem is centrally located, and packed by noon with the aimlessly stylish noshing on sandwiches such as beef carpaccio and shaved parmesan sprinkled with pumpkin seeds (449 Keizersgracht; 31-20-625-3544; www.cafewalem.nl). Nouveau scensters head to the café-deli Envy Delicacies, where meat cutters carve off thin shavings of prosciutto and serrano ham (381 Prinsengracht; 31-20-344-6407; www.envy.nl). "Grand cafés" think big enough to roll out soaring ceilings, canal-side terraces, and splashier decor. The three-story De Jaren, overlooking the Amstel River, is one of the largest (20 Nieuwe Doelenstraat; 31-20-625-5771; www.diningcity.com/ams/dejaren), while Luxembourg has a lovingly preserved Art Deco interior and coveted Spui-side terrace seats (24 Spui; 31-20-620-6224; www.luxembourg.nl). Even their drama is outdone by a new constellation of Frenchified brasserie-style cafés, including Café-Restaurant Dauphine, which is so roomy and French, it's housed in a former Renault garage (175 Prins Bernhardplein; 31-20-462-1646; www.caferestaurantdauphine.nl).

Getting Rid of Blame & Hatred
In life, it's inevitable that we will face some disappointments, rejections and frustrations, it's all part and parcel of being alive.
Often, when we are faced with any rejections or disappointments, we are all too likely to take either the route of self-loathing, coming up with reasons to feel inadequate and hating ourselves for it, or start to heap blame on the other party. Both ways eventually lead to destructive behaviors.
By allowing that to happen, we effectively lose ownership of our core, halting our growth and capacity for love and thus leading to an unfulfilled life plagued with unhappiness and hate.
It is alright to feel angry, dejected and even hate, we are all too human, the important thing is we must find our own ways to channel these out and know that these are not the end. At the end of the day, we must still pick ourselves up and stand firm in the face of adversities to embrace life.
I like to believe that it's probably part of some grand plan for us to grow and eventually evolve beyond the mere average level of being. I believe that no one is inadequate and nobody should ever make us feel so. Every single one of us has all the resources and potentials for anything, if only we allow ourselves to realize it on the conscious level.
And it is these times of trials and tribulations that offer us the opportunities to look deeply within ourselves. It is true that we are all not born or made equal, in status, in wealth and even physically, yet we all are given life here right now so that we can polish ourselves through the hearth-fire of existence to be the best we can be. Life offers us an unlimited spectrum of experiences, depending only on whether we have the courage and the will to take it and live fully.
I have often come across as an intensely passionate and aggressive man. I love passionately, always losing myself in the ecstatic embrace of love. I fight aggressively for what I believe in, pursuing my dreams, hopes and mission in life intensely without apologies or compromise.
While I am aware that it is perhaps difficult for many to understand and may be too fearful for them, that is how I can live and die with myself, living and dying without regrets or remorse as a warrior, a lover and a man.
I have been through tons of disappointment, rejection, pain and betrayal and dare I say, probably much more excruciating than anyone can imagine. I have literally been thrown to the deepest depths of hell, which some of you who know me are aware of (and I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for your support and generosity during those heart-wrenching periods), and came out of it alive, here standing strong still. I can only pray that what had happened to me will never ever happen to anyone else, as no one truly deserved it.
Of course, the easiest way to deal with it for a lot of people is to heap blame on others for what happened but that is not the way for me. I cannot and will not blame anyone for what had happened to me, I only have my own foolishness and naivety to blame, and be glad that I am still very much alive to learn from it.
I also do not and cannot hate anyone for all that, because I do not want to come from a place of hatred. As a man, I have to take responsibility for my decisions and the outcomes resulting from it, regardless of good or bad. I will not allow all that to make me a jaded, cold and mean person, for then I would have failed in my duties and responsibilities as a human being, shutting me off to the precious gifts that life has to offer.
I prefer to come from the place of love, and I'd like to inspire the same in others to live fully, give generously, and love wholeheartedly.

Review: The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood.
Publisher: Vintage Books
Publication Date: July 5, 2007
Received From: Bought
Page Count: 324
The Republic of Gilead offers Offred ony one option: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like all dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire – neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.
Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of twenty-first century America gives full rein to Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit and astute perception.
Margaret Atwood's 'The Handmaid's Tale' was the second selection chosen for the book club I attend. Despite it being often labelled as a modern classic, I must admit that I hadn't heard of it or read anything by Atwood before. I was intrigued to start reading…
'The Handmaid's Tale' is a dystopian novel that follows Offred, a handmaid in the Republic of Gilead.It is set in a society in the future where most women are either slaves or breeders. Offred is a breeder and has to sleep with her assigned commander once a month, with his wife present. Her only hope is that she gets pregnant. Offred had a life before her only value was her ovaries. This is the story where her old life blends with her new one. Is there any hope for Offred?
While reading 'The Handmaid's Tale' what struck me the most was how scary it was. It isn't part of the horror genre and there are no monsters lurking in dark shadows. It was the realisation that the society presented within the book is one that could easily happen. It's a terrifying society where women are not allowed to possess anything. They cannot have a job, money and they are forbidden to read and write. It is definitely a scary world to live in for a woman to be a part of and that is what affected me the most about this book. Despite my horror, I felt compelled to read on. I wanted to know more about the life Offred used to live and the life she has no choice but to live now.
Atwood's writing style was great. She effortlessly blended the narrators past and present narratives in a manner that didn't feel forced. It all flowed together and this is what I probably admired the most about the book. However, apart from that, there was nothing else that stood out for me. I appreciate that there will be readers who will love this book. Yet for me, there wasn't much that made me stop and think "this book is amazing". I am still glad I decided to read it though. Perhaps in the future I might return to it and gain more from the experience of reading it than I have now.

Football Notebook: Prince George, Hopewell Enjoy Fast Starts
By JACOB VAUGHAN, Sports Editor
Sep 13, 2012, 12:08
Reagan Davis (35) follows blocker Eric Finney (8) on a kick return for Thomas Dale on Friday. L.C. Bird scored in the final minute to defeat Thomas Dale in Chester (photo by David Breidenbach).
The Hopewell High School football team did on Friday what it struggled mightily to do last year – protect a lead.
Cosby quarterback Aaron Birnbaum engineered a 65-yard touchdown drive that pulled the Titans to within two points with 32 seconds remaining, but Hopewell senior Reggie Butler broke up a two-point conversion attempt to seal the 21-19 win.
In doing so, the 5-9, 182-pound defensive back reversed a troubling trend. The Blue Devils lost seven games in 2011, five of which they led at some point.
"We talked about it all year," said Hopewell coach Ricky Irby. "We talked about it at halftime. We said, 'We have the lead, now let's finish.'"
The victory put an end to Hopewell's five-game losing streak against Cosby and gave the Blue Devils their first season-opening win since 2004.
By virtue of its 14-7 comeback win over Clover Hill, Prince George also finds itself at 1-0 for the first time since 2007.
The Royals trailed 7-0 after the first quarter but scored two touchdowns, forced three fumbles and quelled a late drive from the Cavaliers to preserve the result.
"We just told our kids to try to go 1-0 every week," said Prince George coach Bruce Carroll. "It's certainly nice to get the win. Clover Hill is a well-coached football program and it's a feather in our team's cap. That is something that they can grow from."
All four area football teams – Hopewell, Prince George, Thomas Dale and Colonial Heights – started their new campaigns with fresh faces under center.
Hopewell senior Octavious Taylor completed three passes for 88 yards and a touchdown in a winning effort over Cosby. He also rushed for 55 yards, but the six-foot, 172-pound signal caller's largest contributions came on special teams.
Sprung by a block from Moses Tolbert, Taylor returned a first-quarter kickoff to the Titans' 21-yard line and blocked a field goal in the fourth quarter before scooping up the ball and returning it for a timely score.
"I'm telling you, he's an athlete," Irby said. "He really made the play of the game when he blocked the field goal."
Prince George quarterback Kameron Smith also won in his debut against Clover Hill. The junior completed six of 13 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown as the home-standing Royals rallied. The bulk of his yardage came on a 49-yard, game-tying touchdown toss to senior Bailey Williams with 10:31 remaining in the second quarter.
Carroll said he thought Smith managed the game well after fumbling in the first quarter.
"He made the routine plays and did some things that maybe weren't quite so routine," Carroll said. "But he managed the offense, and for a young man making his first varsity start, I thought he handled it quite well."
Thomas Dale senior John Ford, who transferred to the Chester school from Prince George last year, and Colonial Heights sophomore Brian Gwaltney lost in their first games, but both threw a touchdown pass.
Ford hit senior running back D.J. Reid – a Division I prospect sought by Virginia Tech and South Florida, among others – on a post route for a 47-yard touchdown that accounted for Thomas Dale's only points in a 14-7 loss to cross-town rival L.C. Bird.
Gwaltney connected with senior Robert Dubberly for a 43-yard score that cut Thomas Jefferson's lead to 10-6 on Aug. 31. The visiting Vikings went on to win 24-6, snapping a 41-game losing streak.
Fielding a new-look offense that scored early and often throughout the preseason, Irby was not surprised that his team scored first on Friday.
What surprised him was the manner in which the squad posted its first points of 2012.
After a defensive stand forced the Titans to punt from their own end zone, the Blue Devils took a 2-0 lead when the fourth-down snap sailed over the punter's head for a safety.
"I think the safety helped us," Irby said. "Because it gave us the lead and some momentum."
Despite holding a sizable advantage in time of possession and running 24 more offensive plays, Clover Hill gained three fewer yards than Prince George on Friday (186-183).
Much of the credit for limiting the Cavaliers' triple option offense belongs to the Royals' linebacker tandem of Kyle Poweroznik and Caleb Johnson.
Poweroznik, a junior, had a hand in 15 tackles: eight solo efforts and seven assisted. A First Team All Central District selection last year, Johnson followed suit with 10 tackles – five unassisted, five assisted – and a sack.
"Once our kids got used to [the triple option], we kind of bounced back," Carroll said.

Game Designer
Hey all, We are really excited about all of the reworks and visual updates that we have released recently and all of the ones that are coming this year. As great as they are, the question of "why change things?" often arises, and it is absolutely valid. At a high level we have certain goals when we choose to rework the gameplay, visuals, or lore of a champion:
Senior Member
Glad to see a Red Post on this subject. What's the level of struggle between the game design department and the art department when reworking a champion? From what we've been told here and there, some design aspects are limited by what the engine can do; artwise and vice versa.
Best Lulu Ever
Yo lets get dem support reworks...cuz all i see are nerfed supports...#bringbacksupports
Never been on the first page before *.* Who's next for a rework?
Postal Miku
Makes no sense when you look at someone like Soraka "We kept her as the healer type you guys wanted, but we can't make her good at all, so here have the same Soraka you have been using for the last 3 years" BUT with other reworks, yes they have actually helped, but most of the time, you tend to rework a champion, then people play them more, and then they get nerfed to around the same state as they were before the rework, kinda like Gangplank, but i think he was better off before the rework happened, much more money
What makes a champ suitable for a rework? I've noticed it's primarily older champs such as Yi and Sivir, but what about champs like Rengar, who is still fairly new?
like make soraka viable?
Thanks, Scruffy. I'm still not crazy about all the reworks being pumped out, but I appreciate this. Love ya, Rito.
Almost all of the past year's reworks have been extremely successful, and with Xerath on the way I don't see that trend ending anytime soon. Give your rework team a pat on the back. They deserve it.
PvP Owner
I understand.

Please let these movie franchises die a peaceful death
Do we really want more 'Terminator,' 'G.I. Joe' or 'Die Hard' movies?
« Previous gallerySpidey faces Electro and the Rhino in new 'Amazing Spider-Man 2' images
'Spy Kids'
Movies: "Spy Kids" (2001), "Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams" (2002), "Spy Kids 3D: Game Over" (2003), "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World" (2011)
Upcoming Movies: "Spy Kids 5" is in the early stages of development.
Why: An initially cute idea that's been driven into the ground, Robert Rodriguez's "Spy Kids" films are cheap, simple moneymakers which allow the prolific director, his family and friends to goof around with green screen technology. The fourth film grossed just $38 million domestically, compared to the $111 million earned by "Spy Kids 3D" eight years earlier. Now that original kids Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara are all grown up, maybe it's time for this series to go to bed.

5 Favourite Foosmarigold | 17/07/2007 | See all marigold's reviews (14)I have owned the original version of this album for years and I still listen to it regularly. In my opinion it's the best Foo Fighters album with Everlong, Hey Johnny Park + New Way Home stand out tracks for me (although all are good even the short intro, Doll). Also Dave Grohl is on drums for the majority of this album!Bonus tracks Down in the Park + Baker Street are decent cover versions as well.If you want to buy a Foo Fighters album I would start with this one.
5 great album - great band!grabsy | 18/06/2008 | See all grabsy's reviews (1)This is still the foo fighters album I listen to the most. Love Hero and Everlong - superb! Watched them live in Wembley, they didn't disapoint.
5 Best Foo's releaseMidget14 | 20/04/2008 | See all Midget14's reviews (178)This is quite simply a fantastic CD packed with track after track of brilliance. From 'Hey Johnny Park' to 'Everlong' this is the record that made the Foo Foghters a great band.
5 Amazing.PetalBlossom | 16/09/2007 | See all PetalBlossom's reviews (3)First Foo Fighters album i ever listened to, and the moment i heard it i loved it! An absolute classic - not a bad track on here! It includes my favourite Foo Fighters track, My Hero, as well as classics like Monkey Wrench and Everlong. To good to be true, pure euphoria listening to it ! BUY IT !!
5 THE Foo Fighters Album To OwnSnoopy1 | 18/07/2007 | See all Snoopy1's reviews (35)Top 100 Music Reviewer Top 100 Gadgets Reviewer This is the best of all the Foo Fighters Albums. Even at 10 years old it is still one of the most complete albums of theirs i've listened too. The best tracks are probably Monkey Wrench, Everlong, Hey Johnny Park! and Enough Space. The bonus disc is brilliant too personally i love their version of Bakerstreet. If you want to listen to Dave Grohl at his song writing best, Get This Album!!!!

The Editor's Corner: The $140 Shampoo
Jane Chesnutt discusses a lesson in value distilled from a bottle of shampoo
By Jane Chesnutt
Special Offer
I'm about to shock you: I just spent $93 on a 12-ounce container of shampoo. And that was the amazon.com price (list is $140). Go ahead and indulge in your outrage, but hear me out. Because this isn't about shampoo, it's about the values we put on things, and how that doesn't always equate to what economics or society (or both) has deemed they really cost.
But first, that shampoo. It's called Russian Amber, a funny brownish, rubbery goo of a substance, and I read about it in another magazine, in a column written by a beauty editor whom I know to be top-of-the-line good at her craft. She's a grownup, and she was quite upfront in acknowledging that $140 is an insane amount to pay for shampoo. And yet, she kept saying, the stuff really works. Your hair is thicker, styles better, keeps longer. There's a noticeable difference, you don't have to wash your hair as often and every day becomes a good hair day.
I don't think I've been upset over having a bad hair day once in the last 25 years, but neither has my happiness level with my hair been at 100 percent lately. So I was intrigued. Still, I would have turned the page and forgotten the stuff except for one little comment, about how a little girl had said, after her mom started using it, "Mommy's got pretty hair now!" Kids don't lie.
I ripped out the page, set it on the kitchen counter and thought for a couple of days. This is where things got interesting, because what was going on in my head wasn't the normal "Do I or don't I?" conversation. It wasn't about whether I could afford a hundred dollars (by then I'd been on Amazon and knew I could get it at that price). I can. I could have gone out and spent the same amount on a pair of shoes, or 100 other things, and not thought twice. But this was shampoo, for gosh sakes, and it's just not acceptable to spend that kind of money on that kind of product.
But why shouldn't it be, I asked myself? Why is it that it's OK to spend $100 on a pair of shoes that wind up in the back of your closet, worn only once or twice, but not that much for a product you'll use a couple of times a week and derive pleasure from? I promptly went back to Amazon and clicked "Buy Now."
I realized long ago that most of us do not have straight-line relationships with money. My beloved Uncle CC, for example, was an extraordinary tightwad in almost every respect, and every member of my family has several stories of his thrift. The first time I saw duct tape was on the chair CC sat in to watch TV; it was holding it together. Still, it was CC who took me out as a young teenager for my first expensive meal in a very nice restaurant, and CC who would slip me $20 every time he saw me when I was in college. I also noticed that he didn't stint on either travel or theater, both of which he loved. I may not have turned out to be nearly as thrifty as CC would have liked (as you can tell, he set high standards on that score), but his basic attitude of save-here-to-spend-there took hold with me.
Which leads me to the issue of value. I suspect I'm going to take a fair amount of heat from some of you about that shampoo. But as you castigate me for my wastefulness, just keep in mind that I'm pretty confident I could come into each of your lives and use the same terms for at least one purchase that gives you great pleasure. (I'd probably start with those enormous TVs, which cost far more than $100 and which seem to have entered the necessity category for most people.)
Will I buy another jar when this one runs out? I don't know yet, but I have lots of time to decide, since it's already clear that the stuff lasts forever. My guess—and here I may shock you again—is that I will, for the simple reason that I like how my hair looks when I use it, and I can see the difference when I don't. But even if I decide this isn't worth the money, my original purchase has been worth every cent just for the reaction of Melissa Matthews, our incredible beauty editor. She typically gets very excited about new products, and while it's almost always with good reason, her enthusiasm is such that I like to tease her that she's been "drinking the Kool-Aid." When I told her about this shampoo, she first gasped (a true Woman's Day editor), then she smiled and said, "I'm glad you drink the Kool-Aid too sometimes." So am I.

There are bloggers who inspire us to be better at what we do with their stories, recipes and photography. One of those bloggers is my friend Simone of Junglefrog Cooking. I've followed Simone's blog since 2008. What got me hooked was her beautiful photography, her witty stories and the recipes she shares on her blog. Simone is a professional photographer based in Amsterdam and every time I visit her blog I want to visit her kitchen, studio and city. It's just a feast to the senses. Without further ado, I leave you the first installment of the renewed What's Cooking, World? section. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up for Simone:
I suspect with a title like this one there might be a bit more spam then the usual amount..lol.. But I couldn't resist the literal translation for this typical Dutch dish.
When I was asked by Ben from What's Cooking if I wanted to do a guestpost in his world series I was flattered. I love Ben's blog and have been following it faithfully for years now. His Mexican dishes are fantastic and I just wish I could find the needed ingredients here easier. I can find a lot of stuff online but fresh ingredients are a lot harder. So most of the time I just drool over his photos and think what fantastic things I would be able to do if I just had those ingredients..
The idea of Ben's request was to write something about a typical Dutch dish. So that got me thinking, what is a typical Dutch dish? Our national 'cuisine' doesn't have a lot of highlights. The first thing that springs to mind is that we have lots of different mash-dishes (called stamppot) as our national kitchen, but then again those are terrible to photograph, so did I really want to go there? Plus most of them are typical winterdishes and in this part of the winter it is spring so not the dish I was looking forward too. What is it with the Dutch and stamppot anyway? Why do we mash everything together..? I mean, don't get me wrong, I love stamppot and in winter we eat it at least once a week. We have several different varieties, but most commonly the potatoes are mashed with some kind of vegetable; endive, curly kale, brussels sprouts, carrots (in which case it is called Hutspot) and spinach, we like to add little bits of cruncy bacon to it and eat the lot with a smoked sausage (rookworst)
I could make croquettes but then, they do exist in other parts of the world. And I was stuck with all these winter dishes in my head. Or I could attempt to make stroopwafels but having never done that, I had no idea where to start.
But then it hit me; I could make hete bliksem (hot lightning)! This is a dish I hadn't made in at least 20 years. Not because I don't like it, but because it goes together with a baked slice of cheese, something I couldn't put Tom through as the cheese hater that he is. But he was going out for dinner with work so I could make this. It's still a mash and therefore by it's own nature wildly unattractive, but hey, it's Dutch! So I apologize for the somewhat unappealing photos as I assure you that the content of the plate are in fact quite good.
Jacqueline, my friend, and I used to make this all the time when we were student nurses. Mostly because it was quick and tasted good and didn't require extensive kitchen space (which we certainly did not have) It's a pretty old fashioned dish, as it doesn't get made a lot here anymore either. Don't know why as it is quite good and especially when you pair it with the bacon and the caramelized apples that I added it's the perfect combination of sweet and savoury.
Recipe HETE BLIKSEM
Serves 2
- 250g apples (plus a few slices extra)
- 250g potatoes
- 1 cinnamon stick
- maple syrup
- ground cinnamon
- 4 slices streaky bacon
- 200g cheese (in a flat piece)
- salt
- 1 egg
- 50g sesame seeds
Clean and peel the potatoes and cut them into even size chunks. Boil them in salted water for about 10 min and then add the cleaned and chopped apples into the boiling water. Add the cinnamon stick as well. Leave to boil for another 10 minutes or until both apples and potatoes are to your liking. I like mine to be fairly chunky but that is a personal preference | |
In the meantime bake the streaky bacon in a dry frying pan until crispy and set aside Slice a few apple pieces and melt a little butter in a fryin pan. Add the apple slices to it and add a bit of maple syrup into the pan as well as some cinnamon. Let simmer until the apple is soft. |
Prepare a plate with one whisked egg and one plate with sesame seeds. Cut your cheese into the required size. The smaller it is, the easier it is too handle. Dip the cheese into the egg and make sure it coats all sides. Then dip the cheese into the sesame seeds and make sure it is covered everywhere. |
Heat a non stick frying pan on high until nice and hot. Put the cheese slice in and bake until the sesame seeds are brown. You have to do this rather quickly or the cheese will melt completely. Turn and bake the other side. | |
Drain the apples and potatoes and mash them together. Taste and add cinnamon and salt where needed. Remove the cinnamon stick before mashing! |
As you can probably see by looking at the photo I didn't do so well with baking my cheese. I forgot to let the pan get sizzling hot so by the time the cheese started to melt, the sesame seeds were still a little pale. Still tasted good but do make sure the pan is hot enough.

I love Simone's blog! Great to see you hosting her work here. This dish is wonderful and so unique!
Thanks so much Rosa!
wonderful post Ben!
who cares what the cheese looks like–it looks amazing to me! and totally edible! -
Love both Simone and your works! Great recipe and photographs to drool on and it is lovely to see her here. Looks fantastic!
Thanks Soma..
Great to meet you and what a wonderful dish!! Not to mention pretty darn gorgeous.
I love this series, I'll be sure to come back for the rest of the installments! I don't know what you mean about the photos not being perfect, I think they are great and really convey a sense of comfort food here, in a completely new form, at least for me, thanks Simone!
Thanks so much Sue..;) You're too kind!
Hi Ben,
Just hopped over from Rosa's where I saw your lovely post on quesadillas. Just wanted to say a hello to you and tell you how much I enjoyed reading it. The quesadillas look fantastic.
This guest post by Simone looks wonderful! -
This was fun! What a great idea, Ben, to have a What's Cooking, World? Day. Love it. And I will immediately check out Simone's blog! Thanks yet again.
Morning Simone!
I don't think so!!
Beautiful photography and looks so delicious that I'm already drooling.
If I hadn't just finished breakfast I would go make this!
What kind of cheese did you use?
How thick was it cut?
Have a joyful day!
Haha… Thanks Charlie. I used regular farmers cheese 'belegen' which is somewhere between old and young cheese. I cut the slice roughly with a thickness of about 1 cm. i did make it too large as that makes it harder to bake, but it had been such a long time that I forgot how to bake cheese..;) I would recommend using the same thickness for the slice but cutting the piece maybe 10 by 10 cm or something along those lines
It's lovely to Simone here, I'm ashamed to say that having spend 5 years in the Netherlands, I have never heard of Hete Bliksem, but it sure looks good
It's rather an old fashioned dish I guess a lot of younger folks in the Netherlands also don't know it anymore. Which is a shame as it is quite good!

I've started to apply it after styling my hair. I have medium length hair and it does kind of give your hair a texture that is hard to style. So far I love the results.

LakishaLos AngelesHairBlackColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairA Bit DisappointedThe product use video shows people spraying it in their hair and brushing it out with no problem like it acts just like your hair. Wrong! My hair feels like a brillo pad. I don't see how you would be able to spray this in your hair then curl and style as usual. It makes your hair dull, stiff and dry. Also, I ordered black and it's more like dark brown which almost doesn't work because my hair is really black. After I doused my hair in shine spray then the color blended a bit better. It does indeed fill in the thinning areas and looks natural upon first glance but if I weren't wearing my hair in a bun and wanted to actually flat iron it or curl it, I don't think it would work because of the brittle dry texture it leaves in your hair.posted May 14, 2012Link to this post

Sweden's Emil Jönsson will not compete at the 2015 World Championships in Falun, Sweden due to a strained groin muscle. The news comes after the sprinter fell in a quarterfinal of the Östersund World Cup classic sprint, which took place the weekend before the start of Worlds. Unable to stand, he did not finish the race and was forced to be carried off course.
After several days of extensive evaluation and therapy Jönsson was told that he would be unfit to compete at Worlds. According to the Swedish star, the news was especially difficult given that the year's most anticipated races are taking place in his home country.
"It has fluctuated emotionally, from hearty pain on race day to positive emotions as rehabilitation happened so fast. I feel pretty good, but there is a difference between living a normal life trying to be the best in the world in Falun," he said, roughly translated, to the press.
Although Jönsson will not compete, he said he will be rooting for Sweden to take as many medals as possible throughout the two weeks of racing in Falun.

Dial 911 (or 9-911, if using a campus landline) for all emergencies
Know your exact building address
Know your evacuation route and designated assembly area from your buildings (see below)
Know where the closest fire alarm pull station is located (check near entrances and stairwells)
Know if your internal and external doors lock and how to lock them
Know the phone number for security is 415.269.6070 (and have it in your phone)
dominican.edu/about/emergency is where you can find current emergency information
Yellow Emergency Procedures Guides with additional instructions have been posted in every campus classroom and office. Students and employees should be familiar with all campus emergency procedures. The Student Handbook also includes detailed information about campus policies and procedures.
Leave the building via the nearest stairway or exit if the fire alarm sounds, you smell gas, you see fire or smoke, or you are instructed to evacuate. Do not use elevators. Do not return to the evacuated building until instructed it is safe to do so.
Assist those with disabilities to exit the building
Gather at the evacuation assembly area so that you can be accounted for
Before leaving campus during or after an emergency, be sure the route to your destination is passable and inform a campus official, such as a residence hall assistant, security guard or staff member of your destination and contact information
Indoors: Drop, cover, and hold on. Drop to the floor, take cover under a sturdy desk or table, and hold on to it firmly. Be prepared to move with it until the shaking stops. If you are not near a desk or table, drop to the floor against the interior wall and protect your head and neck with your arms.
In bed: If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head with a pillow. You are less likely to be injured staying where you are.
Outdoors: Move to a clear area if you can safely do so; avoid power lines, trees, signs, buildings, vehicles and other hazards.
Driving: Pull over to the side of the road, stop, and set the parking brake. Avoid overpasses, bridges, power lines, signs and other hazards. Stay inside the vehicle until the shaking is over. If a power line falls on the car, stay inside until a trained person removes the wire.

Dominican strongly recommends students and employees follow the emergency preparedness guidance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) found at ready.gov which includes preparing an emergency kit and keeping it in your room, office or car. The kit should include:
Meet with your family or roommates to discuss the types of disasters that could occur and plan how you will get to a safe place, how you will contact one another, and how you will get back together. Choose an out-of-state friend as a check-in contact for everyone to call. Before leaving campus during or after an emergency, be sure that the route to your destination is passable and inform a campus official, such as a residence hall assistant, security guard, or staff member, of your destination and contact information.
Disaster preparedness training programs are available through Get Ready Marin and CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams). First Aid and CPR classes are available through the Red Cross and other organizations throughout the county.
