Breakfast will always hold my heart. I love every meal of the day, don't get me wrong, but the meal I get the most excited about eating is breakfast. Call me crazy, but when I menu plan I include breakfast too. I can't handle eating the same thing every day for breakfast. There are too many yummy things to eat at this time of day. You get to enjoy them along with a cup of tea or coffee, when the world is still quiet and the busyness of the day hasn't started yet. It's a time to quiet your mind and enjoy those bites to their full potential.
I know you must be wondering how I can possibly talk this way about breakfast when I have two little mouths to feed. I have a secret to tell you. I don't eat breakfast with them. The mornings are rushed getting Max ready for school and this time of day is so important to me that I get them fed while preparing for the day and wait to eat my own breakfast once we're back home and the house is still. It's like a reset button after starting the day so harried. While I think it's very important to share meals together as a family I have been loving this routine. I don't do it every day but when I can I savour it to it's fullest.
English muffins are a beautiful blank canvas to top with whatever you are feeling that day. I've made them quite a few times before but it always felt like a little too much effort to be made on a regular basis. Since I'm whole wheating everything up these days I decided to take another crack at it. I'm so happy I did because these will now be a regular in our home.
This starts with a whole wheat sourdough base (I use this sourdough starter, it is so, so easy. And this time I used whole wheat in place of regular flour – it worked great!), it sits overnight to get bubbly, then you stir in some honey, salt and baking soda, give it a quick knead, pat it down and cut out circles.
After that you let it rise before giving it a quick pan fry on the stove top and finishing it off in the oven. Baking them in the oven after the initial pan fry ensures that you are not standing at the oven for what feels like forever and helps the english muffins to cook through without browning too much in the pan. The dough is soft and sticky but as long as you keep things well floured it is very easy to work with.
The results give the perfect consistency. Crisp on the outside with a nice chew on the inside. The nooks and crannies aren't quite as big as the commercial ones but they are there! The telling sign? When you split them with a fork, when they give way through the outer layer of crust, it's as if they hit a pocket of air. Swoon!
We enjoy them the most as breakfast sandwiches, for breakfast or lunch. When I get home I drop an egg in the frying pan, top it with cheese and slice of ham, sandwich it between two mayonnaised, toasted, english muffins and my day starts on a high note.
How do you breakfast?
- ½ cup sourdough starter*
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon liquid honey (or creamed honey, melted)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- cornmeal, for dusting
- Stir together starter and milk. Stir in whole wheat flour until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for 8 hours, or overnight.
- In the morning, stir in honey, salt and baking soda, with a spoon. The mixture will be sticky and loose. Transfer to a well floured surface and knead for two minutes. Adding flour as necessary. You do not want to add too much flour as you want the mixture to stay loose. Add just enough to keep it from getting too sticky while kneading. (your fingers will get dough on them, just wash them off before proceeding to the next step)
- Dust the surface with additional flour, dust the top of the dough with flour. Using your fingers flatten the dough to approximately ¾" thick. Using a jar or round cutter cut out circles of dough (you may need to dust the cutter with flour to keep from sticking). I found after cutting, moving the cutter around in a circular motion to help release the dough formed the best english muffin shape. Transfer to a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Gather dough scraps and continue shaping until all of dough is used. Dust tops lightly with additional cornmeal. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes to one hour.
- When ready to cook, preheat oven to 325ºF. Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer muffins to the preheated skillet (I use a spatula, which works great to slide under if you have coated the sheet well with cornmeal). Cook until golden brown on the bottom (2-4 minutes). Flip and cook on the other side until golden. Transfer to a baking sheet and continue process until all muffins are browned, adjusting heat as necessary to avoid over browning. Place baking sheet in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool completely before splitting with a fork and toasting.
- Split the english muffins before freezing so they can be pulled out and popped straight into the toaster.
*Here is a recipe for sourdough starter. I made mine with whole wheat flour.

BUILDER magazine, residential architect's sister publication, will unveil its latest idea house during the 2010 International Builders' Show (IBS) in Las Vegas. The BUILDER Concept Home 2010: A Home for the New Economy, designed by Marianne Cusato, reflects a dramatic shift in how homes are designed, built, maintained, and lived in, and its presentation mirrors builders' changing priorities as well. For the 2010 project, BUILDER is forgoing its usual brick-and-mortar show home at IBS and instead is building a virtual show home, which will launch January 19 at www.builderconcepthome2010.com.
"Our goal this year is to respect and reflect what's going on in the housing industry right now, and present what we believe is the model for the future," said Boyce Thompson, BUILDER's editorial director, in a statement about the concept home. "Building a large, luxury show home just to accommodate attendees during IBS wouldn't be very helpful to builders across the country who are searching for practical and profitable solutions."
The Home for the New Economy is geared to help home builders reexamine what and how they build. Cusato, designer of the diminutive Katrina Cottage, designed a 1,700-square-foot, four-bedroom, 3.5-bath house that demonstrates four principles key to housing's ultimate recovery—adaptability, sustainability, buildability, and livability—and incorporates durable, sustainable products, materials, and finishes. The house will illustrate what's working today, why it's working, and how these principles apply not only to professional builders, but also to homeowners around the country.
Once www.builderconcepthome2010.com launches, visitors will be able to take a customized virtual tour of the home, which will include multimedia features such as an audio tour guide, pop-up windows, video clips, and renderings of each room, as well as 3-D floor plans. Visitors will be able to follow any path through the house they choose, jumping from room in any order. The Concept Home team members, including designer Cusato and building scientist Mark LaLiberte, will present information about the home's design, performance, and marketability along with information about featured products in 16 different video clips.
Visit the site now and register for notifications of when the design goes live.

Liverpool v Man City takes place this afternoon, in the second of two games taking place in the Premier League.
The game takes place at Anfield, with kick-off scheduled for 16:00 BST, and the game airing live in the UK on Sky Sports 1/Sky Sports 1 HD.
Liverpool head into the game bottom of the table as a result of last week's defeat at West Brom and will be keen to get an early win under their belts.
Liverpool have won just one of the last seven Premier League games against Manchester City, although four of the other six have resulted in draws.
Few expect Liverpool to be challenging for anything other than fourth place at best, but City boss Roberto Mancini believes Brendan Rodgers can put together a side capable of challening for honours.
"I think Liverpool will fight for the title this year because they play well, they bought good players, they have a good manager and they have changed their style of play," Mancini said.
"Every game you play at Anfield is really tough. They come from a game against West Bromwich where they didn't deserve to lose but football is strange.
"For this I think it will be a hard game."
City, who started their campaign with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Southampton last weekend, are without a win in any of their last 10 competitive visits to Anfield, losing six.

In my experience, most doctors do a culture if they suspect an infection is going on. They might start a patient on a round of penicillin, and wait to see if the culture shows an infection. Then if there is no infection present, the patient is told to stop taking the penicillin or other antibiotic.
Different doctors have different philosophies about treating infections. Some seem to prefer starting the drugs and waiting to see if the patient improves. And if they don't, then doing a culture. I like the other way better.

Buried in babies: A Father's Day reflection
CINCINNATI -- We brought our newborn twin girls home from the hospital just before Christmas, and I thought it would be a good idea to get our 3-year-old son working for the team.
"Sam, do you want to help give Lydia a bath?"
"Oh, sure," he said in a singsong voice. "I'll get the soap that stings our eyes."
Welcome home, Liddy.
Having taken a circuitous path to the love of my life, Carrie, I had made it to 40 before Sam, our first, was born. For the previous 20 years, I went to movies and restaurants when the spirit moved me.
I ran marathons. I nursed hangovers.
Now, I nurse one or two beers lest I nod off while a friend describes a new movie that I'll be able to watch on Netflix next year. Once or twice a month, we break camp like nomads to eat out, spreading our car seats, diaper bags, toys and burp cloths across tables and chairs while wild-eyed patrons gird themselves for a baby meltdown. If there's a candle, Sam sings a quick round of happy birthday and blows it out. The mood is set.
Exercise, like print journalism, is a distant memory, replaced by chasing Sam around the house by day and wearing a path between our bedroom and the twins' by night. (Okay, my sainted wife covers most of the night shift so that I might be semi-conscious at work, but that's for a Mother's Day column).
Friends without kids buy three-day passes to Midpoint Music Festival and Bunbury and have actually heard of some of the bands that are playing. Friends who started their families in their 20s and 30s go to watch my beloved Reds while I watch "Dinosaur Train," having given up my Reds partial season package after struggling to make it to a handful of games last season – pre-twins. I'm cautiously optimistic I'll make it to a game this year.
And sleep. Oh, the memory of eight hours – Seven! Five!!! – undisturbed by screaming demons masquerading as cherubs.
Rest, bar hopping, long runs, disposable income. It's gone, all gone.
And what do I get in return?
Insiders can see what makes it all worth while, even during my sleep deprived moments.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. federal banking agencies issued three notices of proposed rulemaking in June that would revise and replace the current regulatory capital rules. The proposals suggested an effective date of January 1, 2013. Many industry participants have expressed concern that they may be subject to a final regulatory capital rule on January 1, 2013, without sufficient time to understand the rule or to make necessary systems changes.
In light of the volume of comments received and the wide range of views expressed during the comment period, the agencies do not expect that any of the proposed rules would become effective on January 1, 2013. As members of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, the U.S. agencies take seriously our internationally agreed timing commitments regarding the implementation of Basel III and are working as expeditiously as possible to complete the rulemaking process. As with any rule, the agencies will take operational and other considerations into account when determining appropriate implementation dates and associated transition periods.

I am broke no money in my pocket or anywhere else
and my car won't work, and I may or may not go back
to school next year and if I do the car won't get
fixed but if I fix the car no way I will go back
to school and I am to something to take a loan out
because I don't want to be like my parents in debt and
trying to fight a way out of it and still being
rich enought to take a vaction every know and then
I haven't had one in a while and what happen to those
days when we would drive to Lake Erie and lay on the hood of the car and
just watch and wish we had the world at are feet
and then relizing we do and it isn't all its
cracked up to be. I also am so mad that I am crying
again because it seems all of my dreams are just
not going where I want them to I sing myself to
sleep each night till I am hoarse and wake up the
next morning still sleeply, and I hate my friends
most of the time and I feel like I am watching
a train wreak and I have no way to stop it and
I am so helpless and part of my is wondering what
it would feel like to die and screw talking to anyone
because all they want is answer to their problems
and I don't have the fucking answers anymore because
if I did if I had a magic wand I would have used
it so much by know there would be no magic left
for anyone else fucking problems. I have my own and
my own are taking more time to fix while causeing
me pain that will take years to heal. Because I
don't have anyone around me who wants to listen
and yet I want to lay on the floor and never ever
move every again. This is me and I don't want anyone
to see so I act like in class at work at the club
I've been dragged out that I am happy and I want
to be there if only they knew how much I hated it
the fakeness the angry the darkness the way I
hate myself and everyone in my past and even my
friends on any given day I just want to fade away
whats so wrong with that?

Hello, I just played a few ranked games from 80 points on. But I noticed that I only get 4 lp a game and lose like 19. How is that? Previously my LP gains were normalized but now for some reason they aren't.
Your MMR is not yet high enough to go to Gold I guess. So the system is slowing you down till your MMR catches up.
ECV Ciniak
just keep playing, if u win about 70% of your matches eventually u will gain more LP for a win, your lolking elo isn't exactly your MMR so if u keep winning more than u lose u will get to those 100pts eventually, i had the same thing and eventually i got from 90lp to 100 when i used to get 1-4LP a match edit: MMR is ur hidden rating which the system bases your LP gains/losses on
I get matched with people that have gold 3 and so on, how is my mmr too low then?
That is weird tbh... That shouldn't be the case... Though I guess there was something about a LP gain bug in Silver I.
A friend told me it's because of me going into a new tier (gold) and I have to prove myself harder. But if I get -19 and +4 a game then how is this going to balance out with a higher winrate than 50%?
Divine i was also placed against Golds when i was Sivler I that just means ur getting close to the right mmr, so it should be soon that ur gonna get more LP

Trader Joe's Replies To Palm Beach Gardens Rumors
Categories: Food News
Trader Joe's |
Trader Joe's: We're waiting... |
Last week we shared a rumor that had South Florida salivating over the thought of buying tomato-free corn salsa, frozen kale, and cheap wine from salespeople clad in tiki shirts.
We're referring, of course, to yet another rumor that Trader Joe's was looking to open a shop in Palm Beach county -- specifically at PGA Plaza in Palm Beach Gardens.
We spoke with Allison Mochizuki, director of national publicity for Trader Joe's in Monrovia, California, who said, "Palm Beach, Florida is not in our two year plan."
Sadly, that means that Palm Beach county will have to wait at least two years for a Trader Joe's to open in our neighborhood. On the bright side...that means that we won't be living in Trader Joe's, Florida for at least another two years.
In the meantime, the newest Trader Joe's in Florida is opening on September 7 in Sarasota (4101 S. Tamiami Trail). Road trip, anyone? We'll bring the extra large cooler.

Garlic sauce - Recipe variations for homemade garlic sauce.
Garlic sauce is similar to
mint sauce
in that there is more than one definition for it. A garlic sauce can be prepared in a variety of different ways depending on what you are going to serve the sauce with. It can be made into a delicious creamy sauce to go with pasta or a garlic-infused oil to go with fish, drizzled over a
or even just drizzled on toasted bread.
Garlic butter is also a popular accompaniment to fish and bread, and a dip made from garlic and
(aioli) is excellent served with deep-fried seafood.
By preparing a simple roux or white sauce made from cooking flour and butter, then adding milk and simmering until a thick consistency is obtained, you can subsequently transform this plain sauce base into a flavoursome accompaniment that can be served with steak, beef burgers as an alternative to ketchup, or mashed into potatoes for a creamy, garlic mash.
Although garlic has an extremely strong, pungent and spicy taste when gently fried or added raw to foods, on roasting in the oven it turns sweet and will give a completely different flavour to your dishes.

HBO's CEO Okay With HBO Go Password Sharing. Gonna Share?
By Amy Ratcliffe on January 23, 2014
Game of Thrones is the most pirated television show of the past two years. It's a dubious honor but not surprising since the series is only available to HBO subscribers. To get around the restrictions, several people share their passwords to HBO Go, the company's streaming service. And guess what? HBO's CEO doesn't care.
Last week came the news that CEO Richard Plepler told BuzzFeed and CBS This Morning that it's no secret to anyone that people are sharing: "It's not that we're unmindful of it, it has no real impact on the business." He even recognizes how it can get people hooked and potentially bring in new subscribers. As Plepler bluntly put it, "We're in the business of creating addicts." Well, at least he's honest about it…
While we don't recommend posting your HBO Go password in a public place for everyone to see, apparently, you don't have to feel guilty about letting a friend borrow it. So, will you be going ahead and sharing? You can say that you have the CEO's approval to take what is not really yours with fire and blood… or with a strong internet connection.
HT: BuzzFeed
I know they have contractual obligations with the satellite and cable providers, but if they ever have the opportunity to offer HBO Go as a stand alone service I hope they jump on it. I would LOVE to cut ties with my provider, but HBO, and PBS have me by my fandoms. Waiting on the DVD release is not an option!
providers pay a fortune to keep hbo exclusive
[…] By Amy Ratcliffe […]
[…] anyway – for most people, and the fees go up after a year anyway. Plus, HBO's CEO is apparently totally okay with you sharing your HBO Go password, so why fork over money to a TV conglomerate when your […]
[…] got any good suggestions? I will torrent borrow somebody's HBO Go password if you tell me a show is worth it. […]
[…] Rub elbows with someone who has HBO and borrow their credentials, then watch via iPad, using Apple TV to flip the signal to the TV. HBO's CEO is actually OK with this idea. […]
I cannot get in canada, but via proxies i can get the app, anyone want to share their password with me?

Madonna set to perform in Istanbul
Madonna is undoubtedly one of the biggest music stars in the world and is capable of selling out huge arenas all around the globe.
It is testament to Istanbul's growing reputation as a hub for music and culture that the Queen of Pop has chosen to play a high-profile concert in the city as part of her latest tour.
The American singer will perform at the impressive Turk Telekom Arena on June 7th and tickets are likely to be in high demand.
Fans of Madonna will be hoping to hear renowned hits from her extensive back catalogue such as Papa Don't Preach, Vogue and Music.
Istanbul continues to be an extremely popular destination among people embarking on Turkey holidays thanks, in part, to its increasingly cosmopolitan nature.
The metropolis is famous for its stark contrasts, as half of the city is in Asia, with the other 50 per cent in Europe. It is perhaps most fascinating because of its blend of old and new architecture, with ultramodern builds such as the Turk Telekom Arena in the Sisli district standing alongside ancient constructions such as the Blue Mosque.

Defendants Falsely Claimed they Resided on Gulf Coast During Hurricane Disaster
Four more residents of Western Washington have been indicted by a federal grand jury for filing false claims that they suffered damages from Hurricane Katrina. This brings to eleven the total number of defendants indicted in the Western District of Washington for collecting thousands of dollars in assistance they didn't deserve. One woman collected more than $25,000 in assistance.
MATTIE GRESHAM, 52, of Lakewood, Washington fraudulently claimed $25,600 in assistance. ANTHONY HUNTER 44, of Tacoma, Washington, fraudulently collected $18,720 in assistance. OLAF TWEEDIE, 38, of Kent, Washington, fraudulently collected $8,183 in assistance. WALTER JOSEPH LEWIS, 49, of Federal Way, Washington fraudulently collected $6,852 in assistance.
GRESHAM is charged with False Statement for claiming she lived in New Orleans at the time of the Hurricane. HUNTER is also charged with False Statement for claiming he lived in Moss Point, Mississippi at the time of the hurricane. TWEEDIE is charged with False Statement and two counts of Social Security Number Fraud for claiming he lived in Slidell, Louisiana at the time of the hurricane. TWEEDIE also claimed he had two daughters and provided false social security numbers for the daughters in an effort to obtain higher benefits. TWEEDIE lived in Des Moines, Friday Harbor, and Federal Way, Washington, but currently resides at the Regional Justice Center in Kent on local charges. LEWIS is charged with False Statement for claiming he lived in New Orleans at the time of the hurricane.
Earlier this month the federal grand jury indicted Rosemarie Calvin, 45, a former Washington resident now residing in Henderson, Nevada, Petrice Sharnell Trent, 36, a former Washington resident now residing in Harvey, Louisiana, Gregory Frank Wilkes, 50, of Auburn, Washington, Diane Lynn Clay, 53 of Everett, Washington, George E. Cuiellette, 60, of Bellevue, Washington, Valerie Montgomery, 38, of Lakewood, Washington, and Joy Lynn Promise, 36, of Everett, Washington all in connection with Katrina Fraud.
Making a False Statement and Social Security Number Fraud are both punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
An indictment contains allegations that have not been proven at trial beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Katrina Fraud Task Force in the Western District of Washington is being led by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security - Office of Inspector General (DHS-OIG). The task force pro-actively reviewed all applications for Hurricane Katrina assistance from the State of Washington to determine whether the recipients were residing in Washington or the Gulf Coast at the time of the hurricane. The investigation of fraudulent claims is continuing.
In the Western District of Washington the agencies working on the task force include the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General (DOL-OIG), the Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General (HUD-OIG), the Social Security Administration Office of the Inspector General (SSA-OIG), the Small Business Administration Office of Inspector General (SBA-OIG), the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General (VA-OIG), the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), the FBI and the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS).
These Katrina Fraud cases are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Carl Blackstone, Kathryn Frierson, Arlen Storm and Susan Loitz.
For additional information from the U.S. Attorney's Office on these cases, please contact Emily Langlie, Public Affairs Officer for the United States Attorney's Office, at (206) 553-4110.
In September 2005, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales created the Hurricane Katrina Fraud Task Force, designed to deter, investigate and prosecute disaster-related federal crimes such as charity fraud, identity theft, procurement fraud and insurance fraud. The Hurricane Katrina Fraud Task Force – chaired by Assistant Attorney General Alice S. Fisher of the Criminal Division – includes the FBI, the U.S. Inspectors General community, the U.S. Secret Service, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys and others.
Anyone suspecting criminal activity involving disaster assistance programs can make an anonymous report by calling the toll-free Hurricane Relief Fraud Hotline, 1-866-720-5721, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until further notice. Information can also be emailed to the Hurricane Katrina Fraud Task Force at email@example.com or sent by surface mail, with as many details as possible, to Hurricane Katrina Fraud Task Force, Baton Rouge, LA 70821-4909.

Norwich City boss Paul Lambert knows staying in the Premier League is only one part of a long term strategy.
Paddy Davitt
Friday, May 4, 2012
Paul Lambert has got most things right in his time at Norwich City.
Two promotions and a successful stab at surviving in the Premier League guarantee he will always occupy a special place in the club's history.
Whatever happens from this point forward, Lambert, his coaches, support staff and players have contributed to a remarkable passage in the Canaries' heritage.
But Lambert is a football manager. Not a miracle worker. Norwich's success over these past three seasons should be viewed as the exception rather than the norm. To top what has gone before year-on-year is a truly unique achievement spread over the entire spectrum of the other 91 professional league clubs.
How many of those have travelled from League One to the Premier League and stayed there? I make it one at the last count, although Southampton will get their chance to emulate City's stellar achievement next season.
So when Lambert reiterates, as he did after last weekend's emphatic Premier League defeat to Liverpool, that he does not know how much further Norwich can go, he is stating a fact. One based on his own first-hand experience of the huge challenge successfully mounted to stay in the division over the past ten months.
Allied perhaps to the empirical evidence that underlines just how tough it is for clubs like Norwich to compete against the provincial powerhouses with huge fan bases and greater financial clout.
Implicit in Lambert's words was a recognition the club may well be nearing the end of one cycle and embarking on another. Not, as I have seen it interpreted in some quarters, as signalling the end of the journey. Lambert has just as tellingly spoken in the past about a marked absence of what he labelled a 'plateau' phase in the club's vertical rise; that period of reflection when City's results and performances have to inevitably level out.
If the flat line were to occur now, with the club on much firmer foundations as a result of access to Premier League revenues, I doubt too many supporters would take issue.
Ambition is laudable – on and off the pitch – but Lambert is right to point out Norwich now operate in financially difficult terrain, because not only are they are at a disadvantage to the big boys, but also rivals of a similar stature who have enjoyed a sustained period of top flight membership.
Let's take £40m as a general guide price to cover one season's Premier League income in terms of television and prize money. Then times that by the number of years that clubs such as Stoke, Wigan, Fulham and Bolton have survived and you get a clearer sense of the financial disparity the Canaries are facing.
Norwich have traded on their tremendous collective sense of unity over this debut campaign. Lambert assembled a group of players who for the most part had never operated in the Premier League and were desperate to prove their worth.
Lads like Anthony Pilkington, Bradley Johnson and Elliott Bennett may have spent time in their youth with Premier League clubs, but were forced to drop down before coming back.
Others like Steve Morison and Grant Holt started out in non-league. That breeds a camaraderie and a burning desire to fight against the footballing aristocracy. A motivation from within to prove that you do belong on the same stages with the world class talent.
But Lambert realises such an approach only works to a point. When you stop being an outsider and became part of the establishment the key to survival comes from re-invention. It now passes swiftly to the likes of Southampton and Reading to inherit the mantle carried so deftly by the Canaries and Swansea before the next season comes around.
When Lambert hypothesizes over just what Norwich can achieve as a club in the Premier League he is being brutally honest. Not defeatist. Clubs like Stoke and Fulham have both embellished long term membership of the elite with cup success and European sojourns. Wigan and Bolton have perhaps settled for more modest aims. But then neither have the sort of loyal fan base the Canaries possess who back the club through thick and thin.
Yet after the boom and bust years triggered by a downward spiral sparked by the club's last brief flirtation with the Premier League in 2005, how many supporters would now swap that dark descent for a less traumatic period of measured growth.

Those of you who would rather access the site through your smartphone are going to be very happy!
TuDiabetes now offers a lot more functionality and works a LOT better on mobiles.
If you visit http://tudiabetes.org on your cell phone's browser, you will be redirected to http://www.tudiabetes.org/m (you can actually browse the mobile version from your desktop, to get a feel for it -it will just be "desktop-wide" as opposed to mobile screen-wide.)
The mobile version allows you to do almost everything you can do on the actual site, with access to the Forum, Blogs, Groups, Events, Photos, Member pages (your own included) and being able to interact with all the sections in a more seamless manner.
Please let me know your thoughts and if you'd like to see some functionality on it that you are not seeing now.

GREAT NEWS! I rarely get to a desktop/laptop and all I've ever been able to do on iPhone is read the replies to something I've posted. So often I'd like to reply but have to wait until I have time to boot up my desktop to reply and often forget by then.
Looks great on my iPhone, easy to navigate... but I don't see a 'reply' button or a place to sign it. I do when I open it on my laptop. Probably just missing something LOL
This looks much better than before! I use the site regularly on my iPhone, so I am sure this will make it much easier.
I did want to mention that there is a bar at the bottom of each page that seems to have some functions on it which is not accessible with VoiceOver (screen reader visually impaired people use on iOS devices). VoiceOver just skips over it entirely; I wouldn't have known it was there if I didn't have some vision. I am not sure if this is an easy fix or not, but thought I'd point it out anyway. The rest of the site (besides that little bar) seems to work great! :)
Will this work on a nexus 7 tablet? Do you think their will be an android app?

Speaker: Paul Zenon
Title: Mediums at large
Paul Zenon recently had a public run-in with alleged psychic Sally Morgan relating to implications that she may be cheating during her lucrative stage shows. In this talk he takes an irreverent look at contemporary stage psychics and mediums and their historical counterparts and methods. In keeping with the subject matter, this event is described as being 'for entertainment purposes only', taking advantage of the legal loophole which allows paranormal practitioners to ply the trade which Harry Houdini described as 'the filthiest in the world'.
Paul Zenon has long been one of the UK's most recognisable magicians, with countless TV shows under his belt and numerous sell-out runs at festivals and appearances at corporate events in around forty countries. He was the UK pioneer of 'street magic', and has long been an outspoken critic of proponents of the 'paranormal'. He is the author of three best-selling books and the founder of The Wonderbus, a Registered Charity which provides days out for older people.

Speaker: Martin S Taylor
Title: Hypnotism without hypnosis
In 1981 when Martin S Taylor gave his first lecture-demonstration of hypnosis he assumed, like most people, that hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness. In the thirty years since then he has revised this opinion and he now believes that – on stage, at least – hypnosis is just a combination of suggestion, peer pressure and obedience.
Tonight he will be combining a thoroughly scientific debunking of the trance myth with anecdotes from his career, while illustrating them with video clips of his performances, and – who knows – maybe some live demonstrations on the audience.
All without using hypnosis, of course.
Martin S Taylor has worked as a professional stage hypnotist for over twenty years, giving lecture demonstrations at universities and colleges and, most recently, in schools. He is also a skilled close-up magician. Find out more at http://www.hypnotism.co.uk/

Speaker: Professor Edzard Ernst
Title: Why do people respond to ineffective treatments?
As a researcher who has spent the last two decades investigating alternative medicine, the above question has become an all too obvious one for me. Why, for instance, do so many patients and clinicians swear by homeopathy when it is quite clear that homeopathic remedies are pure placebos? In a nut-shell, the answer is that non-specific effects of a therapy can make even an ineffective treatment appear to be effective. If this is so, is it not helpful and humane to use such an ineffective treatment in clinical routine? In my view, the answer to this important question is NO, and in my lecture I will try to explain why.
Professor Ernst qualified as a physician in Munich, Germany in 1976. In 1978 he completed his MD thesis and in 1985 his PhD. He was appointed Professor in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) at Hannover Medical School (Germany) in 1989. Eighteen months later, he accepted the post of Head of the PMR Department at the University of Vienna (Austria). He came to the University of Exeter (UK) Postgraduate Medical School in October 1993 to establish the worldwide first Chair in Complementary Medicine. In 1996, he founded the Department of Complementary Medicine at this University's Postgraduate Medical School and, in 2002, his unit became part of the new Peninsula Medical School, Universities of Exeter and Plymouth.
Professor Ernst has 'hands on' experience of a range of complementary therapies, including herbal medicine, homoeopathy, massage therapy, spinal manipulation, acupuncture and autogenic training. He has contributed extensively to medical literature in several areas: Haemorheology, Angiology, PMR and Complementary/Alternative Medicine (CAM). In total he has published more than 1000 papers (>600 in CAM) in the peer -reviewed medical literature, about 500 primary research contributions and 48 books (translated into well over a dozen languages, including 1 science book of the year). He is founder/ Editor-in-Chief of two medical journals (FACT ['Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies'] and 'Perfusion') and is on the editorial board of more than 20 medical journals. He is a regular reviewer for many publications including the Lancet, BMJ, JAMA,AIM and the Archives of Internal Medicine. His work has been awarded with 14 scientific prizes/awards and he was a Visiting Professor at Roy Coll Surgeons, Canada (1999) and at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles (2005). He served as an external examiner for the Universities of Berlin, Bombay, Derby, Dublin, Hannover, London, Manchester Metropolitan, Munich, Oxford, Sydney, Ulster, Zürich and others.
He has supervised ~50 MD or PhD theses and given about 600 invited lectures worldwide. He served on the 'Medicines Commission' of the British 'Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency' (1994 – 2005) and on the 'Scientific Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products' of the 'Irish Medicines Board'. He is patron of two British CAM organisations and honorary member of several dozen others. He has served as an expert witness to the UK High Court and the British General Medical Council. In 1999, he took British nationality. In 2000, he was got an entry in the "Who's Who". He writes [or wrote] regular columns for 'The Guardian' (2003-), The Chemist Druggist, The Pharmaceutical Journal, Independent Nurse Magazine, Münch Wed Wschr and Stern (Gesund Leben), SonntagsZeitung (Switzerland); currently, he writes three blogs: BMJ, Pulse and Guardian.

Speaker: Dr Niall McCrae
Title: The moon and madness: Myth, metaphysics and science
Lunacy, the legendary notion of minds unhinged by the moon, continues to captivate the popular imagination. Although it violates the assumptions of modern science and psychiatry, such belief remains common among mental health workers. Furthermore, several studies have found a small, unexplained correlation between behaviour and the lunar cycle. Dr Niall McCrae presents a historical account of the lunacy concept, followed by discussion of hypothetical mechanisms and indications for further research.
Niall McCrae PhD, MSc, RMN is a lecturer in mental health at King's College London. His publications include several journal articles and book chapters on the social history of psychiatry and mental health care. His book The Moon and Madness (Imprint Academic, 2011) has been widely reviewed and he has also presented his research on this topic on the BBC Radio 4 series All in the Mind. Niall is currently writing a history of the mental hospitals in Britain, from nurses' perspectives.

Speaker: Dr Jovan Byford
Title: Beyond belief: A critique of contemporary social psychology of conspiracy theories
Since the resurgence of public interest in conspiracy theories in the 1990s, there has been a flurry of studies looking at this phenomenon from a social psychological perspective. Much of this research has focused on identifying specific social and psychological factors that underpin the susceptibility of individuals to conspiracist thinking, and which might therefore help to explain the persistence of conspiracy theories in modern society.
In the talk I offer a methodological critique of this growing body of work, focusing in particular on the fact that, almost without exception, researchers have used questionnaires to assess the participants' belief in, or endorsement of, conspiracy theories. Implicit in the choice of this particular methodology is a set of highly problematic assumptions about the nature of conspiracy theories, which researchers have been surprisingly reluctant to address or justify. Drawing on the material presented in my recent book Conspiracy Theories: A Critical Introduction, I argue that social psychological research must recognize that people engage with conspiracy theories in complex and diverse ways that cannot be reduced to a single and measurable dimension of judgment. More importantly, social psychologists must develop methodologies attentive to the argumentative nature of conspiracism as a form of ideological explanation, and its important communicative and interactional dimensions.
Jovan Byford is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the Open University, UK. He is the author of four books, including Conspiracy Theories: Critical Introduction (2011) and Conspiracy Theory: Serbia vs The New World Order (in Serbian, 2006), as well as a number of articles and book chapters on conspiracy theories, antisemitism and Holocaust remembrance.

Speaker: Dr Stephen Law
Title: The problem of evil and 'Intellectual Black Holes'
We take a close look at how Theists respond to the evidential problem of evil - the problem, for them, of explaining why an all-powerful, all-good God would inflict so much suffering on sentient beings. Many explanations have been offered, many highly ingenious. We'll explore a novel way of looking at these explanations, and at the way in which they contribute to the overall rational architecture of traditional Theism. To what extent are there parallels with the thinking of, e.g., conspiracy theories, Young Earth Creationism, and other 'Intellectual Black Holes'?

Speaker: Dr David V Barrett
Title: When religions fall apart: Fragmentation and choices
When a religious founder dies, it's often a crisis point for the religion. When a very heterodox American sect – Sabbatarian, millenarian, British-Israelite and much more – went mainstream 10 years after its founder's death in 1986, hundreds of ministers and tens of thousands of members walked out and founded new movements with the old beliefs – which themselves kept fragmenting until 15 years later there were over 400 offshoot movements.
Religion is a collective expression of individually-held beliefs; social trends ultimately stem from personal choices. In the study of religion, Sociology and Psychology meet and interact. David V Barrett outlines his model of what can happen to religions when their founders die, including traumatic succession battles and schisms, with a host of factors affecting the outcome. He explores cognitive dissonance when beliefs and harsh reality clash, such as when the new leader's authority conflicts with the founder's authority, but the authority of both comes from God. And with a new development of rational choice theory, he analyses why people choose to belong to one group over another.
A former teacher, intelligence officer and journalist, Dr David V Barrett has been a freelance writer specialising in new religious movements and secret societies for 20 years. He gained his PhD in Sociology of Religion from the London School of Economics in 2009. His book, The Fragmentation of a Sect, based on his doctoral thesis on schisms in the Worldwide Church of God, is published by Oxford University Press in January 2013.

Speaker: Will Storr
Title: The Hero Maker
For years, journalist Will Storr has been writing about people with strange beliefs: demon hunters, UFO spotters, homeopaths and a couple who swore they've met the Yeti in some woods outside Ipswich. One afternoon, he was sitting at a Creationist lecture in the far north of Australia when he asked himself a question that he couldn't even begin to answer. Why don't facts work? The people that he had met, in his ten years of reporting, were often not stupid. Many were demonstrably intelligent. So why didn't superior information fail to replace the inferior? Why did logic fail?
The answer was to lead him on a journey which is recounted in his new book: The Heretics: Adventures with the Enemies of Science (Picador, 2013). Along with a spectacular cast of characters - including climate sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton and controversial historian David Irving - and some of the planet's most celebrated experts in brains and thinking, Storr finds his answer in what he calls 'The Hero Maker': the collection of neural illusions by which we understand the world to be a narrative struggle which we are at the centre of. We populate this narrative with heroes and with villains, and we flatter ourselves that we the most important character in it. We are not agents of reason, but storytellers.

Speaker: Mary Langridge
Title: Is nature really "red in tooth and claw" or is there room for kindness in the struggle for existence?
Explaining social behaviours such as cooperation and altruism is one of the greatest challenges facing the biological and social sciences. Darwin's theory of natural selection provides an excellent framework within which to examine theories across the disciplines. This talk will lead you through the basic theories in this area, explaining how benefits to our relatives, our reputation and our self-concept lead us to perform bizarrely altruistic acts; from giving money to charity, to donating blood or laying down our life for others - acts which appear to be detrimental to our own reproductive success. Mary will present her research which seeks to examine the link between religiosity and altruism and why this might occur.
Mary Langridge is an Associate Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, co-founder of Psychology in the Pub Sheffield and a PhD student at the University of Nottingham. Her research aims to unify theories across economics, biology and psychology in order to understand cooperation, costly punishment and how our moral and religious values influence our decisions.

Speaker: Professor Elizabeth Valentine
Title: Academic psychology and psychical research between the wars
This talk describes the involvement of six senior academic psychologists with the well-known amateur psychical researcher Harry Price, in the inter-war years. William McDougall and William Brown attended and assisted at a number of séances in his National Laboratory of Psychical Research. Jack Flugel, Cyril Burt, Alec Mace and Francis Aveling were members of his University of London Council for Psychical Investigation and supported psychical research in various ways. Why did these psychologists collaborate with someone the Economist described as "a rogue, a falsifier, and a manufacturer of evidence"? I will discuss personal, metaphysical and socio-historical factors and suggest that the main reason for their mutual attraction was their common engagement in a delicate balancing act between courting popular appeal on the one hand and the assertion of scientific expertise and authority on the other. This can be seen as typical boundary work at a transitional stage in the development of psychology as a discipline.
Elizabeth Valentine is Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London and Honorary Senior Research Associate at University College London. Her main interests are in cognitive psychology and the philosophy and history of psychology. She is the author of many theoretical and empirical articles, and of Conceptual Issues in Psychology (London: Routledge, 1992) and Beatrice Edgell: Pioneer Woman Psychologist (New York: Nova, 2006). A volume of collected papers on the philosophy and history of psychology is in preparation, to be published by Psychology Press in their World Library of Psychologists series.

Title: The Satanic ritual abuse myth, false memories and weird beliefs: Anatomy of a 20-year investigation
Lurid tales of children being sexually abused, of animals being ritually slaughtered and babies being bred for sacrifice, in bizarre black magic ceremonies, by cults of devil worshipping Satanists first surfaced in America in the early 1980s. The allegations of what became known as Satanic ritual abuse soon spread to Britain, Australia and New Zealand in the late 1980s and early 1990s. At the same time, belief in this apparently new and especially depraved form of child abuse was reinforced and said to be corroborated by another new phenomenon, or fashion, in the field of adult psychotherapy, psychology and psychiatry – the recovered memory movement. On conference circuits and in literature, this movement, led by both medically qualified professionals and untrained therapists, promoted the theory that adults can be helped to recover long-buried "repressed" memories of childhood sexual abuse, in some cases Satanic ritual abuse, and that as a consequence of that abuse those patients suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder.
This talk explores the origins and spread of the myth of Satanic ritual abuse. As early as 1994 a UK government-funded investigation concluded there was no evidence Satanic ritual abuse existed. Yet despite the continuing absence of evidence, anywhere in the world, a minority of child care professionals, including police officers and social workers, and adult psychotherapists, psychologists and psychiatrists, persist in the belief that Satanic ritual abuse exists. Conferences are still being held around the world.
This talk will chart the progress of my ongoing investigation over 22 years which has examined allegations of the Satanic ritual abuse of children and asked 'where's the evidence'? In the course of the investigation I explored the controversy over the extreme and polarised recovered-versus-false memory debate – still one of the most divisive issues in adult psychotherapy, psychology and psychiatry today. As an illustration of the damage caused by zealots who believed in Satanic ritual abuse and in their ability to "help" a patient recover the memories, I will relate the tragic story of the life and untimely death of Carol Felstead, alias Myers.
Finally, this talk will explore how the myth of Satanic ritual abuse can be considered in the context of the field of anomalistic psychology, the wonderful whacky world of weird beliefs, for example how people can come to believe they have been abducted by aliens. Some of these UFO "experiencers" also believe they were also victims of Satanic ritual abuse. Part of the purpose of my research, ultimately for a PhD by Prior Publication, is to try to understand how and why people can come to believe bizarre, appalling, weird things happened in the total absence of evidence.
Rosie Waterhouse is Director of the MA in Investigative Journalism at City University London and a freelance journalist with extensive experience as an investigative reporter, having worked for five national newspapers and as a TV reporter.
She has twice been a member of the Sunday Times Insight team, she worked for The Independent and Independent on Sunday, where she was investigations editor, and for BBC Newsnight, where she contributed to a BAFTA award-winning film on BSE.
As a freelance journalist, Rosie has contributed articles to publications including The Guardian's G2 section, the New Statesman, the Daily Mail, and The Oldie.
She has most recently written a series of articles in Private Eye on the 'Satanic Panic'. Her freelance television work includes a spell as a research consultant on a BBC Real Story documentary on the Rochdale Satanic abuse controversy. Earlier documentaries include a Channel 4 Dispatches investigation into allegations of fraud at Red Star and a BBC Bristol investigation into allegations of bribery by Westland Helicopters to win contracts in Saudi Arabia.
Rosie has been researching the myth of Satanic Ritual Abuse and the controversy over false versus recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse for more than 20 years and her published work on these issues forms the basis of her PhD by Prior Publication, due for submission in January 2014.

Speaker: Elizabeth Loftus
Title: Memory Matters
Free but ticketed. Tickets have now sold out. The talk will be recorded and made available afterwards.
Jointly hosted by the APRU and CFI UK. Held in the Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre in the Whitehead Building (note different to LG01, our normal venue) at Goldsmiths, University of London, SE14 6NW.
People sometimes remember things that never happened, and my research explores how and why this happens. Sometimes the errors in memory are relatively small, as when people remember details of recent events differently than they really occurred. Sometimes the errors are large, as when people are led to remember entire events that did not occur to them, which we call "rich false memories." People can be led to falsely believe that they have had familiar experiences, but also implausible ones. They can even be led to believe that they did things that would have been impossible. They can be led to falsely believe that they had experiences that would have been rather emotional or traumatic had they actually happened. False memories, like true ones, also have consequences for people, affecting later thoughts, intentions, and behaviors. False memories look very much like true ones – in terms of behavioural characteristics, emotionality, and neural signatures. Finally, false memories can linger for quite some time, just as true memories do.
Elizabeth Loftus is Distinguished Professor at the University of California, Irvine. She holds faculty positions in three departments (Psychology & Social Behavior; Criminology, Law & Society; and Cognitive Sciences), and in the School of Law. Since receiving her Ph.D. in Psychology from Stanford University, she has published 22 books (including the award winning Eyewitness Testimony) and 500 scientific articles. Loftus's research of the last 30 years has focused on the malleability of human memory. She has been recognized for this research with six honorary doctorates (from universities in the U.S., Norway, the Netherlands, Israel, and Britain), and election to the National Academy of Sciences. She is past president of the Association for Psychological Science. Perhaps one of the most unusual signs of recognition appeared in the Review of General Psychology, which identified the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century. Not surprisingly Freud, Skinner, and Piaget were at the top of that list. Loftus was #58, and the top ranked woman on the list.
The APRU and CFI UK are pleased to announce a jointly hosted talk by world-renowned Psychologist Professor Elizabeth Loftus on 20 March 2013. Entitled "Memory Matters", the talk will explore the science of cognitive errors, false memories and the human consequences of inaccurate recollection. Full details can be found here. Similar to the other talks in the APRU Invited Speaker Series, the talk is free but ticketed. Tickets have now sold out. The talk will be recorded and made available afterwards.

ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton used to say that she was the one who could answer the phone at 3 a.m. and know what to do as president. Speaking at the Emily's List lunch, Clinton, after congratulating Michelle Obama for her speech last night, said if the president isn't on her side — call his wife.
"I know a little bit about how the White House works," Clinton said. "And, you know, if the president isn't exactly on our side — call the first lady, and with Michelle Obama, we are going to have somebody who answers that phone."
Clinton also expressed how personal politics is to her, and when you run for office, you never know what you are going to get.
"For those who supported the women who have run — the women who are holding office — please remember that it's not just about politics — it's really personal. Because when you start running, you have no idea where the path will lead."
Clinton also had words of thanks for the group of women at the event.
"Your work is putting more cracks into that glass ceiling, and thanks to you, one day, it will completely shatter."
