Dining Out: Theater Concession Stands
by Toby Amidor in Dining Out, February 25, 2010You may love to take your family to the movies, but you'll want to shield their eyes from the concession stand. Buttery popcorn, pizza, nachos, french fries, hot dogs, slushies, ice cream and gobs of candy sound appealing, but chow down on a couple of these and you might gobble up two days worth of calories in two hours.
So what's a movie-goer to do?
Popcorn & Soda
If you're in the mood for these, be wary. The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) recently analyzed a medium popcorn and soda combo at a major movie theater chain and discovered it totaled 1,610 calories and 60 grams of fat. That's like eating THREE McDonald's Quarter Pounders topped with 12 teaspoons of butter! But wait, there's more. CSPI also found tons of saturated fat in the popcorn. What's that from? Well, the movie theaters are frying the popcorn in heart-clogging coconut oil.
- Popcorn can be very healthy choice — keep the calories down this way:
- Order a small tub to share.
- Don't top your popcorn with artery-clogging butter.
- Use low-calorie seasoning blends to top your popcorn (many theaters have it available at the counter).
- Pop your own low-cal bag at home or make your own and bring it to the theater.
Of course, that salty popcorn will make you thirsty, but think before you gulp up a 54-ounce soda. A small, non-diet soda can range from 150 to 300 calories. Go for the mega-sized one and you're giving yourself 33 teaspoons of sugar. Although diet sodas contain zero calories, not everybody wants or likes the taste of artificial sweeteners. Water, seltzer, freshly brewed iced tea or a plain cup of Joe all contain minimal calories (or none at all).
Main Meals
Many theaters now offer meal-style foods to go along with the soda and popcorn. It's no surprise that most selections are high in fat and calories (and cost a pretty penny). A slice of plain pizza can run about 400 calories and even more if you add toppings. A chili dog comes in at 400 calories and 23 grams of fat, while a side of medium serving of French fries is 440 calories and 29 grams of fat. Pair that with the popcorn and you've racked up 2,000 calories in no time (that's the suggested daily calorie intake for an entire day!).
- A few tips to making healthier choices:
- Eat a healthy meal before going to the movies and don't come hungry! Folks tend to choose anything within reach when they're starving.
- Find a restaurant nearby with a bigger selection of healthier choices (and they're probably cheaper too) and eat before the show.
- You can't have it all! Choose one favorite thing to eat at the theater — a small popcorn, one slice of plain pizza or a hot dog. Switch off on your next visit to the theater.
Chocolate & Candy
I'm a chocoholic and the mega packs of M&M's and Raisinets always tempt me. But buy two or three packs and you're giving your family 400 to 500 calories and at least half a day's worth of saturated fat. Non-chocolate candies aren't always better either. A five-ounce bag of Twizzlers has 460 calories and almost four teaspoons of sugar. If you're reaching for the Reese's Pieces, think about this: the CSPI equates those to eating a 16-ounce T-bone steak with a buttered baked potato on the side.
- If you're a candy love, try this:
- Tuck a smaller snack pack of candy or chocolate in your pocket.
- Opt for either popcorn or candy, not both.
- Split one pack two, three or even four ways.
- Make your own trail mix with a handful of nuts, dried fruit and one to two tablespoons of dark chocolate chips mixed in.
TELL US: What's you favorite movie snack?

I always pack my own snack, usually some sort of grain and nut bar. Last time, I brought along a sweet and salty bar with peanut butter chips, pretzels, and soy protein. The flavors were enjoyable, very fitting for a movie, and the protein and fat were good nutrients to get
I pack my own snack too! One day I brought apple slices! Last time we went I brought dark chocolate – yum!
I understand the temptation to pack your own snack, but I think it should be clarified that this is often in violation of posted theater policies. Even if all of the options are foul, you have the choice to not eat during the movie if rules prohibit sneaked-in snacks. Movie-theater munching is the very definition of distracted eating.
Also, a note on not getting "artery-clogging butter" on your popcorn. You'd be lucky if it's butter. Listen the next time a theater employee offers you butter. I bet they offer "butter-flavor topping" which means you're getting all the fat and calories but made out of god-knows-what instead of dairy products.
In high school, I dated a movie theater employee. When we'd do staff-only screenings, we'd clean all of the equipment and bring in our own, healthier food to cook in less-gross ways. Very cool. -
Um…coconut oil is NOT heart-clogging. It's actually a healthy oil. Just FYI.
i work at a theatre and we don't use coconut oil.. we use canola
We have watched Despicable Me a hudnred times already and laugh so hard every time!! Another family favorite is Up!! WE LOVE FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT!! Tip to you – we pull out a matress off of our guest bed and lay it out in the living room to veg on- makes for a fantastic movie night and its an easy clean up!!
also, we have butter and margarine.. you get to pick
May you continue to find joy in the smiple things around and within you, Shel, and may every hug from your children continue to fill you up with joy and contentment and blessedness.As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you!
I'm with tar….the big theater here has a choice of butter or margarine. Also, the offer coffee, bottled water, sparkling water, and even a few low fat treats, fruit slices and boxed juices for the kids, for those who want to go that route. We still try to bring our snacks or just stick to one treat, like the idea of getting the small popcorn and spliting it. I have lately started to feel bad about bringing our own snacks in, since they clearly say that it is against policy before every movie there, but since they are starting to add some more responsible choices, the transition should be easier to do.
The two healthiest oils to consume are olive oil and pure organic coconut oil. That's it! Since olive oil does not do well at high temp cooking it cannot be used for popcorn. Coconut oil produces a heart-healthy treat that has many other advantages. As with anything though, the movie theatres do not use the pure organic oil AND as far as I can tell they add chemicals to it (orange dye and whatever else). So that is to be avoided. I pack my own corn, white organic corn popped in pure organic coconut oil with Celtic sea salt. VERY healthy and delicious. I will continue to do so until the theatre industry gets wise to both nutrition and good taste. I for one think movie popcorn tastes terrible anyway.
You really should look into the facts regarding coconut oil.
Shame on you! -
Have you ever thought about inliudcng a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. However think about if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, pop !

WASHINGTON — Apparel importers, regularly stressed about the timing of deliveries, are anxious about a House vote set for today on a bill that would require 100 percent screening of all cargo containers at foreign ports.
Some executives said the measure — should it be approved by the House and the Senate — may force them to shift their sourcing strategies and add to their costs if major delays develop at ports. Others, however, were more sanguine, saying that they would evolve to meet the new requirements and that beefed-up security was necessary.
"I think it will be an extraordinary challenge to adapt not only for the industry but also for foreign ports and governments," said Allen Thompson, vice president of supply chain security for the Retail Industry Leaders Association, which counts giants Wal-Mart and Target as members. "This is something massive in terms of operational requirements."
The new House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), has made passage of the initiative part of her first "100 hours" agenda. The measure, part of a broad bill implementing recommendations of the 9/11 commission, would mandate a phased-in application of technology to monitor for radiation and weapons at large foreign ports within three years and smaller foreign ports within five years.
However, the clock on the three- and five-year phase-ins would not start until a pilot project testing technology at three foreign ports — a requirement incorporated in a port and cargo security bill passed last year — was completed. It would also require containers to be sealed, "as the technology becomes available," after they have been screened with a device that would sound an alarm if it were tampered with and notify U.S. officials.
Democrats failed in their efforts last year to pass a 100 percent screening measure in a bill that Congress passed and President Bush signed into law in the fall. They argued that the estimated 5 percent scanning rate of more than 12 million containers entering the country annually was dangerously low. Republicans resisted full inspection at foreign ports, saying it wasn't practical.
The latest bill is expected to pass the House, but faces a tougher battle in the Senate, where Democrats maintain a razor-thin 51-49 majority, industry experts said.

No more matches for Alison before USOpen main draw (wildcard).
I was at this match--she and I are friends and since she didn't have her coach with her for this tournament, and didn't know anybody else, actually had me registered as the on-court coach (but didn't use it) :lol:
With the right draw, she's definitely capable of winning a round (or two) at the US Open. She just has to believe in herself a bit more than she does at the moment. It also needs to be said that the calls in this match were AWFUL for both players. There were at least 10 instances of missed calls, one of them a shot by Riske that was 4 inches out and called in. The crowd cheered loudly the next point when that same linesperson gave a correct call, and Johansson refused to shake the referee's hands after the match.

Getting to play "adds spice to week," Colorado backup QB Connor Wood says
Posted By Tom Kensler On September 14, 2012 @ 7:13 am In Football,Pac-12,University of Colorado | No Comments
BOULDER — Colorado back-up quarterback Connor Wood prides himself in his preparation every week, but this one is different. Wood has been told he will get into Saturday's game at Fresno State for at least a series, and preferably relatively early in the game.
"It adds a little spice to the week, knowing that I'm going to be in the game," Wood said. "I'm excited."
CU coach Jon Embree said Wood has always been a student of the game. The extra hours he puts in the film room have set a good example for others, the coach said.
"I don't find myself working any more or any less this week," Wood said. "I've always tried to push myself in preparing."
Wood, a sophomore transfer from Texas, took most of the snaps with the first-team unit during spring drills but junior Jordan Webb, a transfer from Kansas, joined the program in July and was named the 2012 starter eight days into August camp.
Webb went just 12-for-24 passing in the loss to Sacramento State last weekend, and Embree announced on Monday that, although Webb remains the starter, Wood will see some action at Fresno State.
Losing out for the starting job was difficult, Wood said. "But I was able to push through it and worked harder and harder and waited for my chance," he said. "This is my chance."

Patient Stories
Khyre's Story — Cleft Lip and Palate
Connecticut Children's multidisciplinary approach to caring makes a big difference in the lives of patients and families treated by the craniofacial team.
One such patient is 8-year-old Khyre Morris of Simsbury who was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. Since birth, Khyre has undergone five surgical procedures. According to his mother Rhashita Brown, the cleft lip and palate was detected in an ultrasound that took place before he was born in July 2003. Despite the overwhelming news, Brown said her worries were immediately eased by the craniofacial team.
"He's had the same team from the beginning and they've always been there for us," said Brown. "They're wonderful people who in addition to the surgeries have taught Khyre how to eat and how to talk."
Brown said that she was told that her son was one of the most serious cases that the surgeons had ever seen. Bilateral cleft lip and palate is a birth defect in which there is an opening on both sides of the lip and roof of the mouth. This is caused by incomplete development during early fetal formation.
From four months to six years old, Khyre received most of his nutrition through a feeding tube. During this time, Brown, who works as a mortgage closer, was transferred to Georgia in 2007. While living there, Khyre had to undergo a procedure to reseal an opening in his palate. Following the procedure, Brown said that she missed the attention provided to Khyre by the Connecticut Children's craniofacial team, and they returned to Connecticut in 2008.
The craniofacial team is led by Charles Castiglione, MD, and Paul Kanev, MD, both medical directors at Connecticut Children's, along with Virginia McGoey- Radshaw, MEd, CCC-SLP. The team provides multidisciplinary specialty care for children with congenital defects of the head and neck. According to Dr. Castiglione, cleft lip or palate is one of the most common birth defects in the country, affecting every one in every 750 births. The Connecticut Children's craniofacial team treats about 600 children a year.
"Whenever a parent finds out that their baby has a craniofacial anomaly, it's devastating news," said Dr. Castiglione. "As soon as we get the call about a child—whether it's through an ultrasound or birth—our team takes immediate action to go meet the parents for support and to start the planning."
Dr. Castiglione added that the craniofacial team includes a wide range of specialists including plastic surgeons, oralmaxillofacial surgeons, neurosurgeons, orthodontists, developmental pediatricians, dentists, otolaryngologists, speech-language pathologists, social workers and nurses. Team members collectively see craniofacial patients twice a month during clinic. Since Connecticut Children's opened in 1996, some of the team members—including Richard Bevilacqua, DMD, MD, Elene-Lee Ritoli, DMD and Ira Greene, DDS—actually donate their time for the clinic.
"Everyone on the team pitches in because these children are very special to us," said Kerri Langevin, MSN, APRN, PNP-BC, who serves as the pediatric nurse practitioner for the craniofacial team. "I think all of us get as much from the patients as they get from the team."
It's that dedication that prompted Brown to move back to Connecticut and continue Khyre's care at Connecticut Children's. "They are so accessible and make you feel that your child is the only child in the world," Brown said. "I can call them anytime and they help ease the frustrations that we sometimes encounter. Khyre also is seen in cardiology, gastroenterology and neurology and the team has helped us with those appointments."
Because Khyre's lips don't meet, his soft spoken speech isn't always that clear. "Because of that, I'm his mouthpiece," Brown said. "But other than that, he is pretty much a normal 8-year-old."
Today, Khyre is an active third-grader who takes karate lessons and loves playing video games on his X-Box. "My favorite game is 'Cars 2,'" he said with a wide grin.
For parents whose newborn has a craniofacial anomaly, Brown suggests that they stay positive and that with the support of the craniofacial team, they can be optimistic that everything will work out. She also stressed that parents advocate for their child especially with school.
Langevin said that the multidisciplinary approach the craniofacial team takes is seamless, especially with the clinics which eliminate the need for parents to bring their child to multiple appointments. This model is rare and is not available at other craniofacial programs in the region. Langevin knows Khyre and his mother well, and said that he has made tremendous progress over the years.
"Khyre was always a happy child, and he has done so well with his self-esteem. I think that has to do with his mother," Langevin said.

The story of Against Me! begins in the college town of Gainesville, Florida, in 1997. Then-17-year-old Tom Gabel would play his angst-filled compositions with an acoustic guitar on street corners for spare change. The tunes were catchy, and his lyrics were about, well, being an angry, punk-rock 17-year-old in Gainesville. In songs like "The Price of Freedom," he would strum the guitar and yell, "I'd rather die free than live a life in slavery/Is it too much to ask that I die for the cause?"
Gabel soon began playing shows around town, and slowly but surely, the band known as Against Me! formed, becoming heroes of the local underground anarcho-punk scene. In 2002, the band released its first full-length album, Reinventing Axl Rose, on the Gainesville-based indie label No Idea Records. While the album arguably had a hidden mainstream rock sound, songs like "Baby, I'm an Anarchist" became anthems for the band's devoted following. But in 2003, when the band signed to a larger indie, Fat Wreck Chords, the same fans began to call the group's anti-capitalist stance into question. Longtime fans felt betrayed, but that didn't stop Against Me! from then signing to a major label, Sire/Warner Bros. shortly afterward. The band's fourth proper full-length, New Wave, was released this past July and has taken the band closer to bona fide stardom.
The following two-part interview with now-27-year-old Gabel portrays an artist struggling with his own success. Our first interview was done via telephone; Against Me! was in Munich on the European leg of its tour. During the conversation, the questions seemed to upset Gabel as he became increasingly defensive. Afraid that he was going to hang up on me, I apologized.
About an hour after ending the conversation, the band's publicist sent an e-mail: "Tom said the interview didn't go so well — he asked if you wanted to do it via e-mail. There were a few questions he would like to answer differently." Welcome to the world of corporate rock. Was Tom going to re-answer my questions because of a secret board meeting? Had he been reprimanded? Had he just lost his temper again, like that time in Tallahassee (www.punkplanet.com/node/2762)? I quickly transcribed a synopsis of our conversation and e-mailed the same questions to the publicist; I received the new and improved answers a few days later. The dichotomy of each set of answers is striking.
New Times: From singing about throwing bricks through Starbucks windows in 2002 ("Baby, I'm an Anarchist") to appearing on Late Night With Conan O'Brien recently; what is next for Against Me!?
Tom Gabel, phone answer: Next? We are going to kill kittens and puppies. We are joining the Ku Klux Klan, and then we are going to become young Republicans. This is just all part of what happens when you sell your soul to a major label. But we got so much fucking money, dude. It's so fucking cool. I have a helicopter made of gold. I wipe my ass with money. It's great. Who says selling out doesn't have its merits? It's pretty fucking badass. A soul is a lot of weight to carry around; I don't need that kind of weight.
E-mail answer: A lot of touring, and hopefully another record at some point.
The punk scene that you were involved with is going to continually question your current situation. Your ideals as a person have obviously changed since the formation of Against Me! What message are you trying to bring from the underground to the mainstream?
Phone answer: I really don't have any interest in doing this interview if it's all just about this. I don't want to talk about it. This has so been done before. It is just obnoxious. Do you think that I am that lonely and desperate of a person that I need to justify myself to a reporter on the telephone? I don't even know you. I've done the interview a million times before and then I've read the article afterwards a million times. I know the slant that everybody puts on it, and I know exactly how it's going to read, so what's the fucking point? If someone comes in that pointed with their questions in an interview, they obviously already have some kind of angle that they are going for. It's like, damn, another one of these interviews... where someone is going to do this whole "Against Me!... are they sellouts or not?" I don't really feel like justifying myself, you know? That's what you are asking me to do.
E-mail answer: There isn't a specific message. I'm not a politician. I'm not pushing an agenda. I want to play music for people. I have my opinions, and sure those opinions are obviously going to be apparent in the lyrics I write. But if anything I'm just trying to be a stimulus to make people think for themselves, not make them think like me.
My band has been on every level of record label possible. Our first release was a 10-song cassette tape, copies of which I dubbed myself. I recorded it on a Tascam four-track in my mother's bedroom. Our newest album was released on a major label, and we recorded it with a world-famous producer [Butch Vig, who also produced Nirvana's Nevermind].

Sheriff Sam Craig says 19-year-old Taylor Flynn of Bedford and a 16-year-old youth were arrested on murder warrants Saturday in Ironton, Ohio, after leading police there on a chase. The sheriff says extradition proceedings will begin this week. The two were sought following the discovery of the body of 43-year-old Rodney Allender Thursday night at his rural home in northeastern Lawrence County. A third teenager, 18-year-old Austin Curtin of Bedford, was being held without bond Sunday at the Lawrence County Jail in Bedford facing preliminary charges of murder and robbery. The Bedford Times-Mail reports Curtin was arrested early Saturday.

Israel warns against statehood for Palestine
NBC News — The Israeli Foreign Minister is warning of serious consequences if the the Palestinians continue with their planned bid for statehood at the United Nations General Assembly next week. Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman reportedly gave the warning to the European Union's Foreign Policy Chief during her visit to Israel wednesday.
Israel's main ally, the United States, last week said that it will veto any statehood resolution brought before the UN Security Council. Meanwhile, the U.S. continued its diplomatic efforts to dissuade the Palestinians from making the bid. Senior U.S. envoys will visit the Middle East this week to try to revive peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

Speaking of the Trinity
Lewis Ayres in Nicaea and its Legacy offers a helpful summary of the "pro-Nicene" theology of fourth century church leaders. The Council of Nicaea (in 325) set out an acceptable manner for speaking of God's oneness while still affirming his eternal distinctions as Father, Son, and Spirit. Yet the debate over how best to speak about God continued in following decades. Ayres, on page 236, offers three points that expressed the emerging consensus of orthodoxy in that era:
1. a clear version of the person and nature distinction, entailing the principle that whatever is predicated of the divine nature is predicated of the three persons equally and understood to be one;
2. clear expression that the eternal generation of the Son occurs within the unitary and incomprehensible divine being;
3. clear expression of the doctrine that the persons work inseparably.
The care taken by the early church fathers in expressing their shared faith in the Triune God has been critical to the health of the Church in the centuries that followed.
A question for us: how well are we doing today in maintaining the clarity and force of these insights? And, if we do speak of the Trinity in these terms, what sort of narrative emerges?
Augustine, the Bishop of Hippo, established one option when he portrayed the Triune relationship as an eternal, non-material One (contra the Arians & Stoics) whose being is characterized by love. The Father is the lover, the Son is the beloved, and the Spirit is the love between them—that is, the communicator of that love. Each is fully personal and distinct—so that the Father is always the Father and never the Son; the Son is always the Son and never the Father; and the Spirit is neither Father nor Son, but is uniquely engaged in searching the depths of both the Father and the Son as he communicates their mutual and reciprocal love. Their oneness is maintained in that love.
In Augustine's way of speaking of the Trinity he maintained the set of values noted by Ayres. The activities of God, whether in his creation; in his addressing the Fall through the Son's incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension; and in his self-giving purpose to offer eternal communion to the saints; are all explained by the Triune God who invites humanity to enter the mutual love and glory of God. The Spirit pours out this love into the hearts of believers. God's passion is an expression of his united yet diverse Heart.
There are, of course, other ways to speak of God. After the Reformation some Protestants elevated God's stability in terms well aligned with the prevailing Greek notions of linear causation and divine necessity. It was crucial for them to first define God's singular essence—as rooted in the Father—and then to extend this essence to both the Son and the Spirit. William Ames, an English Puritan, promoted this approach in his acclaimed The Marrow of Theology (1620-22 lectures to Dutch students). In Book I:4 Ames presented "God and His Essence".
Ames presented God's Essence in 67 items. The Trinity, by the way, wasn't featured as a starting point—it was addressed next, in section I:5. In speaking of God's essence Ames took up an apophatic starting point—featuring God's hiddenness rather than his self-disclosures. Ames explained that much of what is said of God in the Bible is anthropopathic: using human qualities to speak of God (item 4). Yet any anthropopathism fails to represent God's essence in adequate or accurate terms. What is affirmed of God by Ames was aligned with the classical Greek portrayals of God as pure act (actus, item 20) as guided by a perfect knowledge and singular will (items 52-61).
If we compare this approach to Augustine's relational God who is essentially a Triune lover who shares his eternally pre-existing love with his creation, we find a starkly new way of portraying God. Ames, for instance, followed up his assertions about the divine knowledge and will by disavowing any affections in the divine: "The affections attributed to God in scripture, such as love, hatred, and the like, either designate acts of will or apply to God only figuratively" (item 62).
So while both narratives of God—Augustine's and Ames'—are arguably consistent with the Nicene insistence that the Triune "persons work inseparably", the bases of the two views are very different. Augustine treats the Father, Son, and Spirit as actively engaging one another from within their distinctions yet with complete ("inseparable") accord because of their unity in love. Ames, however, treats the divine unity as rooted in a singular, guiding, disaffected will—i.e. "God's essence".
What sort of narratives of the Trinity are active today? Of the two I sketched out here I certainly prefer Augustine over Ames. I see a much broader alignment with the biblical portrayal of God who "is love"—a love rooted in a relational context. The disaffected essence that Ames promotes seems well out of step with texts like John 3:16. In Augustine's picture I see a basis for our own growing alignment with God's will as our love for God reciprocates his love for us. Our love engages his desires.
Any thoughts?

8:16 am on July 26th, 2010The Amesian one is certainly more popular today — unless of course you spend any time at all with guys who appreciate Barth or TF Torrance. In fact — how timely — I'm having a discussion with a guy who has just finished his Masters on Thomas' (Aquinas) concept of God (which of course is what is informing the Amesian understanding). This guy, in an articulate fashion, describes Thomas' view which exactly correlates to what you describe as the Amesian one. For anyone interested here is the thread:
With a "loveless" God, we get a "loveless" people.
12:18 am on July 28th, 2010I had a Sunday School teacher several years ago who asked if Jesus could have been truly tempted. As he was of one mind with the Father, He would not actually be drawn to sin. This sounds like 1st cause reasoning. To me it also speaks of the Providence of God trumping God. I have long since gotten the feeling that the Providence of God is the God behind god in "calvinist" higher criticism. On the other hand, if Jesus was in all ways tempted as are we, yet chose to do the Father's will because of His love for the Father and because of His love for humankind, then once again, I fall on my face and breathe "GLORY!"

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was enacted in 1969 by overwhelming bi-partisan majorities and signed into law in 1970. NEPA was the first major environmental law in the United States and established a national policy calling for "productive harmony" between man and nature.
NEPA also created the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), which has primary responsibility in ensuring agencies meet their obligations under NEPA. NEPA requires the federal agencies to fully assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions. This assessment ensures that major federal actions are grounded in rigorous scientific analysis and that our government's decisions are made in a transparent manner, enabling the public to hold their government accountable.
NEPA is an essential tool for providing citizens with adequate information about agency decisions and providing the public an opportunity to have a say in federal actions that impact their environment, their families' health, and their quality of life.

Hotel Vintage Plaza: A Pioneer Courthouse Square Hotel in Downtown Portland
Hotel Vintage Plaza is located in the very center of downtown Portland, Oregon. This elegant, stylish hotel sits adjacent to Pioneer Courthouse Square, Portland's dynamic cultural hub, also called Pioneer Square, and regarded fondly by locals as "Portland's living room."
Pioneer Square is the single most visited area of downtown Portland, a welcome newcomer under Hotel Vintage Plaza's long watch: Pioneer Courthouse Square formally opened in downtown Portland in 1984, while our hotel began its tenure somewhat earlier, in 1894.
The downtown location of Hotel Vintage Plaza is ideal, next door to Pioneer Square, a stroll away from the Pearl District, and surrounded by all the exciting city life of Portland.

Jimmie Johnson, Danica Patrick crash
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Five-time champion Jimmie Johnson followed up his worst season in NASCAR with his worst finish in the Daytona 500.
Johnson wrecked on the second lap of The Great American Race on Monday, ending his night long before his car reached full speed.
Johnson will end up with his worst finish in 53 starts spanning four series at the famed track. Since winning the Daytona 500 in 2006, Johnson has finished 39th, 27th, 31st, 35th and 27th.
This one was maybe more disappointing than the others, especially because he was coming off a career-low sixth in points in 2011.
"I'm just really, really bummed to start the season this way," Johnson said. "For all the hard work that has gone into getting ... ready for tonight; we didn't get to complete two-and-a-half miles of green-flag racing. So, I'm pretty bummed."
Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon joined Johnson in the garage near the halfway point of the 200-lap race after Gordon's car blew an engine.
Johnson also had little control over his exit.
Elliott Sadler nudged Johnson from behind, turning his No. 48 Chevrolet into the wall and collecting several other cars. David Ragan slammed hard into Johnson's spinning car. Former IndyCar star Danica Patrick, former series champion Kurt Busch and defending Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne also were caught up in the mess, which happened super early in a race that drivers, crews and fans waited more than 30 hours to get underway because of rain.
"It is disappointing," said Ragan, who won the July race at Daytona. "It is ridiculous to sit around this long for the Daytona 500 and on the very first lap for someone to be driving as reckless as whoever caused that. It is just a shame for it to be that early in the biggest race, the first race of the year. We just got caught up in it. ... I can't wait to see who was the bonehead that did that."
Johnson's crew packed up his wrecked car, done for the night.
And Johnson was still trying to figure out what happened.
"We were all just getting up to speed, and I had some help from behind that got me out of control," Johnson said. "From there on, I was just spinning."
Patrick sat in her car as crew members worked feverishly to get her back on the track. After her crew made extensive repairs to her battered race car, Patrick finally returned to the race down 62 laps to the leaders -- earning cheers from the grandstands as she pulled out of the garage area.
Bayne couldn't even sit in his car. He got out and helped his crew repair damage to the front end.
"You spend a couple days waiting in the rain and something happens on lap one, so what do you do?" said Bayne, who was able to get back out on the track. "Man, this is tough. The guys worked so hard for this race. We were looking forward to it."
Johnson won five consecutive Sprint Cup championships before last season. He vowed to get back on track in 2012, but his team had a setback on the opening day of Speedweeks.
Johnson's car failed initial inspection Feb. 17, and NASCAR officials have indicated that crew chief Chad Knaus will be penalized.
The car had illegally modified sheet metal between the roof and the side windows -- the area known as the C-posts. NASCAR took the C-posts from the Hendrick Motorsports team and shipped them to its research and development facility for more testing.
Knaus has been suspended twice before by NASCAR, including before the 2006 Daytona 500.
He also was suspended in 2007 for violations to the body of Johnson's car discovered during opening-day inspection at Sonoma. He was allowed to finish the weekend but was suspended for six weeks after the event.
Knaus has not been seriously punished by NASCAR since 2007, although he was scrutinized last season when in-car audio captured him telling Johnson to "crack" the back of the car against the wall if he won at Talladega -- an apparent effort to skirt a potential post-race inspection.
NASCAR said the audio was not enough evidence to warrant any punishment.
So not only did the team fail to turn two laps, now it must deal with ramifications from the failed inspection. NASCAR said those would come after the Daytona 500.

If you are going to the gym with the goal of losing weight, getting fitter or looking and feeling better, then listen up. Have a look at this program and see if your work-outs resemble this
If they do, you are not maximising your exercise time and unless you're very lucky, you won't see any tangible results. Here's why:
Imagine for a second I was to give you a nail and tell you to hammer it all the way into a plank of wood. I then gave you two options in hammers. Firstly, I gave you a hammer with a rubber head and secondly, I gave you a hammer with a steel head. Which would you choose?
If you do the above program (low intensity, long duration cardio), my guess is you'll choose the rubber hammer. You like to be safe, you like to take things slow and steady, you have plenty of time and you are not that fussed if the nail ever actually gets imbedded in the wood. You're just in it for the experience.
If, on the other hand, you like to train with more intensity (high intensity strength circuits and high intensity interval training) my guess is you chose the steel hammer. You like to push the limits a little more, you like results to happen as quickly as healthily possible, you like to maximise your time and you like to actually see results.
The other issue in choosing the rubber hammer (ie, train like the above program) is that you'll be prone to overuse and, ultimately, damage the hammer. You'll be banging over and over again, in the same way, with no results and your hammer will be in tatters afterwards. The steel hammer on the other hand is strong, never needs to be overused and therefore always stays in good condition.
So, the moral of my little analogy this week is that if you want results, want to avoid injuries and want to better utilise your time, you need to re-assess your training style.
Over the next couple of weeks, I'll take you through the different training styles and guide you through their strengths and weaknesses and show you which ones you should be doing.

Young Frank, Architect by Frank Viva
MoMA 2013
Hardcover, 40 pages
Billed as "MoMA's first storybook for kids ages three to eight," Young Frank, Architect tells the story of two architects name Frank, one young and one old. No, it's not a time-capsule portrayal of Frank Gehry and Frank Lloyd Wright (though they do make appearances in the book), but two generations of one family—a boy and his grandfather.
Like a lot of children's stories, this one embraces being different, saying it's okay to build chairs out of toilet paper tubes and make skyscrapers wiggle. These are the things young Frank wants to do but old Frank tells him it's not right. MoMA validates the former's wishes when, on a visit to the museum, they see how the Franks, Gehry in particular, actually designed paper chairs and wiggly towers. Back home, Frank and his grandfather embrace the lessons they learned and together design whimsical chairs, towers, and eventually a whole city.
I could talk about the drawing style, the way the story is a vehicle for MoMA, or how well the story conveys educational concepts for the age 3-8 range, but it seems more fitting to describe how my 5-year-old daughter liked the book. At first averse to reading it as a bedtime story (she thought the cover looked dark and boring), her attention was rapt on the story as I read it last week. This could stem from that being our first read through the book, but the short text and large illustrations that tell much of the story certainly did their part to draw her into it.
Her favorite parts involved Eddie the dog, a bystander for much of the book but also a participant. He can be found on each spread (outside of those taking place at MoMA, of course), almost a stand-in for the child reading the book about the two Franks. Spotting Eddie and seeing what he's up to was fun for my daughter, as was discussing the creations that young and old Frank make together in the last part of the book. It's only a matter of time (a couple more reads, I presume) before my daughter will be gluing our old paper towel tubes into coat racks and stacking my books into wiggly towers for her stuffed animals to climb upon. If so, MoMA will have done its job.

Foundation for Senior Care celebrates 102-year-old FallbrookianThursday, November 1st, 2012 Issue 44, Volume 16.
Senior care advocates Shaun Lemon and Irene Escobedo visited her to celebrate and honor this wonderful woman, full of life! They said she is "a delight" and remembers a lot of history about Fallbrook and its growth. Mrs. Hedrick is no stranger to the Foundation for Senior Care. After giving up driving sometime around age 90, she was excited when the Care Van became available in 2004. She could now go out with the Care Van and not depend as much on others. As she got older, she found out about the Senior Care Advocacy program and learned how it could help her to remain independent. Foundation director Dotty Metcalf said, "We are blessed to know Lula Hedrick and wish her many more healthy years!" For more information on how the Foundation for Senior Care can help local seniors, call (760) 723-7570. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

The height and time of day the crop is cut, as well as the nitrogen fertilization level, impact the nutrient content of bermudagrass hay, University of Tennessee researchers report.
At two locations over two growing seasons, they applied nitrogen at zero, 30 and 60 lbs/acre. The crop was cut at 7 a.m. or 7 p.m. at 15 or 20" heights in June, July and August.
Most quality differences between treatments were small, they report. Among the notable differences, short cutting resulted in higher protein than tall cutting (9.8 vs. 8.5%), lower ADF (33.9 vs. 35%) and NDF (65.6 vs. 67.6%), and a higher sugar content (6.3 vs. 5.7%). Afternoon cutting resulted in more sugar (6.5 vs. 5.5%) and water-soluble carbohydrates (8.9 vs. 7.6%) than morning cutting. The high-nitrogen application rate increased sugar content from 5.5 to 6.3% and carbohydrates from 7.7 to 8.7% compared with the no-nitrogen treatment.
