The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two approaches to treating HIV-infected patients who are addicted to opioid drugs (e.g., heroin) in an inner-city HIV clinic. The two approaches are:
- Case management and referral - participants are managed by a case manager and referred to a specialized drug treatment center where they receive counseling and medications for opioid-dependence (e.g., methadone or buprenorphine); or
- Clinic-based treatment - participants receive counseling and treatment with buprenorphine at the HIV clinic.

Detailed Description:
We, the investigators at Johns Hopkins University, propose to enroll and randomize 120 opioid-dependent, HIV-infected participants, who receive care in the Johns Hopkins HIV Clinic to either:
- clinic-based care with buprenorphine (clinic-based BPN/NX arm); or
- case management and referral to an opioid treatment program for opioid agonist-based therapy (case management and referral arm).
The study interventions and follow-up will last 12 months. Participants will be enrolled over a 3-year period. Participants who are assigned to the clinic-based BPN/NX arm will receive BPN/NX (Suboxone®), individual counseling from a nurse interventionist, and group therapy sessions. Participants who are assigned to the case management and referral arm will be enrolled in an established case management and adherence program in the Johns Hopkins HIV Clinic (Project LINK). LINK provides intensive case management, education, and support by a team that includes a social worker, a nurse, a pharmacist educator, and peer advocates. In addition to providing counseling and linkage to needed services, LINK will expedite intake at licensed opioid treatment programs that provide agonist-based therapy for opioid dependence. The clinic-based BPN intervention is a new strategy that was developed in a pilot project over the past 6 months. The case-management and referral arm represents standard-of-care in our clinic, which has been enhanced and codified for this trial. Study outcome visits will be performed at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months.
- Retention to substance abuse treatment;
- Urine drug screens;
- Adherence to HIV primary care provider visits;
- Use of and adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART);
- HIV RNA levels and CD4 cell counts;
- HIV transmission risk behaviors (e.g., injection, sharing of drug paraphernalia, sexual behaviors);
- Costs and resource utilization.

additional to the previous definitions: australia (and new zealand) are sheep-farming countries and our populations are familiar with many of the aspects of farming livestock. a "dag" or "dags" is the colloquial term for the dung which collects and mats into the fleece immediately surrounding a sheep's anus; it hangs in dried-out dangling clumps which make a sound when the sheep runs, hence the phrase "rattle your dags". a sheep should be "ring crutched" to avoid or relieve this condition: crutching is the removal by shearing of all fleece surrounding the genitals usually in a circular shape or ring. a sheep not cared for properly in this way will otherwise collect dags - hence the possible connection to insults concerning fashion and appearance. the sight of a daggy sheep is unattractive and comical, although the mats of contaminated fleece may be painful and usually attract blowflies and other pests; and therefore to call someone "daggy" is to liken them directly to a neglected sheep's anal region suffering from this condition.
oh gross that outfit makes you look totally daggy - take it off quick!

This actually refers to farming... A dag is what happens when a sheep (or any farm animal with long hair) craps and the crap gets stuck in the hair, thus forming a dag.
To call someone Daggy, is to call them dirty/messy/hair full of crap.

The opposite of trendy. Uncool, in an unfashionable sense. Think so last season, or old fashioned. Applies to people and things, not just fashion. Not particularly insulting; can even have friendly undertones.
That flanalette shirt is so daggy; why don't you update your wardrobe ?
Stop hanging out with your daggy friends, get with the hip, new crowd.

May also come from the Tasmanian sheepfarming term 'to dag the hogget', i.e. to remove the testacles of a sheep by biting open the scrotum and sucking them out of the sack. After a day of this gruelling work one would be left covered in sheep's blood and faeces, leaving the person 'daggy'. See Errol Flynn's autobiography 'My Wicked Wicked Ways' for a graphic description of this practice.
My face and neck were covered in sheep crap after a hard afternoon of dagging the hogget. I was totally daggy.

Far From Home - Guest Workers of the Gulf
View photo details
April 3, 2014
by Jonas Bendiksen

This story explores the world of guest workers in the arab Gulf oil states such as United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait. While marketing itself as luxury playgrounds of tourism and business, close to 90% of UAE and Qatar's population are foreign workers. Most of these workers come from far poorer nations such as India, Bangladesh, Philippines and Nepal, and the workers often endure very difficult employment and living conditions. Many of the workers take up big loans in their home countries in order to get to the middle east but then struggle to pay the debt in order to gain any profits. Oftentimes parents will leave their homes and children for a decade or more to try to build up savings for their family back home, putting a big strain on family relations.
The World Bank estimates that the yearly sum of global remittances (the money being sent home by foreign guest workers) amounts to more than double all official foreign aid globally.
Foreign guest workers therefore have a formidable economic impact, but often at a high personal cost.

Well, its been a long process but I finally talked my sponsor into the fact that I had been sober long enough to get a dog. I had to show that I was responsible enough to take on a pet.
I was so nervous. What if I really wasn't ready? What if I wanted to beat the dog for doing unthinkable things to my rug? What if I couldn't love her? What if I didn't take the time to train her and she became unmanageable?
All these doubts came into my head. I took this getting a dog thing very serious. I made a contract with myself that this pet was going to stay with me. No more leaving an animal because I got to drunk in a town, messed everything up so it was time to move on and the pet didn't have a place with me anymore.
It was time to grow up, be responsible and take care of something the way it deserves to be taken care of.
So I got her.. A gorgeous Rot-Shepard mix, 3 month old teddy bear, named Bella I don't think I can put in words the joy she has given me in three short weeks. She loves me unconditionally, and I love her more than any animal I ever had. That little girl can make me see my sobriety in a new light every time she looks at me with the adoring look she has.
I am so grateful I waited to get her. It kills me how our sponsors can know what we need even (or don't need) even when we cant.
This Sober life keeps getting better and better. Never would I have thought a dog could bring so much joy. But then again there are so many things that bring me joy now that I'm living life sober.
I hope you all have a Bella in your life.
Thanks for letting me share.

Rescue!® Fly Tape
Made in USA |
- Brand: Sterling International/Rescue
- Type: Tape
- Size: 3 pack
Reviews (5)
"Not worth the money"
Cheap sticky fly tape rolls (same concept), work better. These strips are not as long, not as sticky, and do not catch near as many flies (one side didn't catch any on the ones I have hanging). I Love the Rescue fly bags but sad these tape catchers don't work better.
"Didn't work at all"
Don't waste your money on these. I got them as a gift with other purchase. They were worthless. Hung them in a variety of areas. These didn't attract any flies at all. Hung up some traditional fly tapes and had a lot of flies in no time.
"no contest"
These fly strips are not worth trying. They don't attract flies and if they land on it, they don't stay.
"not an affective product"
These fly traps (sticky tape) do NOT work at all. Stick with the other kind because these are a waste of money. THEY DO NO CATCH FLIES!!!
"did not work for me"
The Rescue fly trap bags work so well, I thought these fly tapes were worth a try. They did not stay up long with the little included tack. The wind worked them loose in a couple of days. During the time they were up, they didn't catch a single fly. Revenge reel kits are much more effective.

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG, also known as brain stem glioma) is a cancer of the brain stem, most often in children, which is very difficult to treat successfully. Radiation treatment is usually the first form of therapy, followed by chemotherapy. While patients may respond to therapy initially, the tumor almost always returns. Unfortunately, patients invariably succumb to these tumors. Doctors are therefore seeking more effective treatments.
Researchers are conducting this study to find the highest dose of a novel therapy called 124I-8H9 which can be given safely to children with diffuse pontine glioma who have already received radiation therapy. The therapy includes radioactive iodine attached to an antibody called 8H9 which homes in on tumor cells. When 8H9 binds to a tumor cell, the radioactive iodine can kill the cell.
124I-8H9 is given to the patient through a technique called "convection-enhanced delivery," in which the therapy is delivered through a small tube inserted into the tumor during a surgical procedure. The delivery of the agent is performed in the operating room only, and the catheter is removed afterward.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:

Web Marketing: Search Engine Savvy
George the printer used to have it so easy. Before the days of the Internet craze, he had about five ways to convince customers to come knocking at his door. Direct mail, print ads, Yellow Pages, radio, and TV—that was about all he had to choose from (maybe a billboard here or there). Now, his options have exploded.
Take these five traditional marketing routes; the present day choices from this group alone are confounding. Will George choose a print ad in the Daily Sun or an online banner ad on dailysun.com? Maybe he'll be their featured "weather sponsor" online or off. Will the Sun ask George to be a guest columnist or would a guest blogger be a better fit? Compound this by the mammoth beast called "new media" (social media sites like Facebook, website ads, search engine advertising on sites like Google, etc.) and you've got quite a mess on your hands.
With all of these options, how on earth will printing prospects know where to look to find George? Even more importantly, how will George know which of these marketing vehicles will get his print shop noticed most? And what about those people who are going to turn a blind eye to all of this and conduct a simple search online to find their printer of choice?
My advice to George would be to stop, take a deep breath, and then keep it simple. There are certain traditional truths when it comes to driving business to a printshop door. Don't forget these, no matter how many bright, shiny new media options appear.
- Don't ever stop direct mail. George is a printer; he needs to show off his wares. If George doesn't use direct mail in his marketing, he might as well say he's not confident in the cost or effectiveness of his product.
- Check in with the inbox. Email marketing is an excellent follow up tool. After George sends out a direct mail piece, he could follow up with an inexpensive but professionally produced email.
- Perk it up with PR, both offline in the form of sponsorships, speaking engagements, and press releases and online on social media sites like LinkedIn and Facebook.
Those three simple steps are truly all it takes for the offline world to learn about your business. If he's consistent with his efforts in those areas, George will likely see more traffic before he knows it.
But now let's talk about those people who start their search for a printer online. Maybe they haven't received (or noticed) these offline efforts and prefer to seek out their printer online. If you think there's lots of competition to get your business noticed off the computer, online is a whole other ballgame. And the struggle for "first place" is even more challenging—but it is doable. Welcome to the world of search engine services.
The 'O' and the 'M'
There are two pieces to the search engine services puzzle: search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM). SEO uses tactics to increase ranking on a search engine site like Google or Yahoo. Tactics include, but are by no means limited to, adding keywords to a website, linking to and from other sites, and beefing up the mention of your company name in other online arenas (such as on those social media sites we've talked about before). The goal is to catch the attention of what they call a "search engine spider," which raises rank on a search engine. If George has the time and the know-how to keep his SEO work in-house, this route will cost him little to nothing.
Search engine marketing (SEM) is paid advertising. George could pay for georgesprinting.com to appear on page one of Google when someone searches for "business cards," if he was so inclined. We've all seen those listings that come up on the top or the side of a search engine site in a separate "paid advertisements" box when we search for something—that's SEM. Generally, search engine marketing is a "pay per click" service. Your account is charged each time someone clicks on your paid link.
All search engine efforts should start with SEO. First, it's inexpensive. Second, think about how many times you click on those "paid advertisement" boxes. How many times do you think your customers will? Try climbing those ladders the organic SEO way first by following these best practices.
Content is King
The best and most effective way to climb a search engine is to keep all of the content on your website relevant, up to date and full of keywords that someone might use to search for you. But don't overdo it. Stuffing your site with "color printing" repeated over and over again will only get you penalized and possibly banned from a search engine list. That's called "keyword stuffing" and search engine spiders are smarter than that.
Keywords are the most important aspect of SEO. Content must be relevant to a print buyer. Notice I said to a print buyer; not to George. A quick scour of a really cool application on Google called "Trends" (which gives terms people use to search for services) tells us that not one person in the last few months has used "wide-format printing" or "digital printing" to search for printing services.
So the lesson there is to use simple, user friendly printing terms that stay in print buyer speak, not printer jargon. But George can't stop there. Think about when you're looking for a local service. You're going to type in the city and state of that service to save some time, aren't you? You're also likely to add a little extra detail to avoid a massive number of search results. So "business cards, whatevertown, Texas" might be a more realistic search. Maybe even "fast turnaround, business cards, whatevertown, Texas." Now you get the idea. George needs to keep it simple, local, super specific, and stay laser focused on the searching habits of his print buyer.
Tag Your Site
Make sure your website programmers are adding meta tags to your site. Meta tags are lists of keywords that operate behind the scenes of a website to beckon those search engine spiders. Focus first on title and alt image meta tags.
The title tag is the text that appears above your website on the top bar of a browser window. It tells the user what the page is about and is an excellent place to localize and personalize because spiders pay close attention. Let's go back to those business cards. George should make sure the title tag of his website page devoted to this product not only says business cards, but where he's located and what types of cards he provides. "George's Printing, Full-Color Business Cards, Whatevertown, Texas," would be a good example.
Alt image tags describe any images on a website. Not only are these tags important for the visually impaired and if an image breaks on your site (the alt tag appears when someone mouses over an image or a broken image), but they tend to be a favorite spot for those spiders to spend some time. Again, stop and think here. If there is a picture of equipment, will buyers search for "Canon XYZ 100" when looking for services? Better list the products that equipment can provide in the alt tag such as "posters, brochures, letterhead."
A Word on the 'M'
Once their SEO is moving along, a lot of people consider moving on to search engine marketing. SEM has proven very successful for some companies, but think very hard before making this leap. SEM is expensive and there are as many examples of companies spending a lot and seeing very little return as there are success stories. My best recommendation is to proceed with caution.
One final note, if an SEO or SEM expert comes knocking on George's door and he decides that getting some outside help might be worth the investment, George needs to make sure he does some diligent homework. Just as the keywords need to be industry specific, the expert needs to be as well. Otherwise he or she won't have the knowledge to really help. George's first question to this expert should be: "What do you know about people who buy printing?" The second step should be to make sure this caller is truly an expert (there aren't that many out there).
Keep it up George! All this work will pay off. I promise. By keeping it simple, consistent, and smart, George is sure to see results and a lot more people are a lot more likely to see his business.

Maintaining a healthy growth of perennials in the garden is easy to do, provided you follow a few important steps.
Research suggests that things like temperature, humidity, wind, and precipitation can all play a role in making us feel crummy—and even increase the risk for some serious health problems.
Gardeners have always been interested in the weather, and with the advent of major media coverage of climate change, weather is an almost daily concern.
Homes in drought-prone areas benefit from incorporating xeriscaping into their outdoor spaces.
These top parks offer the most brilliant wildflower displays in the country.
From California to Cape Town these gardens feature some of the most beautiful landscapes out there
As water grows scarcer, water prices will skyrocket and municipalities will levy stricter measures to reduce usage.

AleyahHairDark BrownDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairGreat Smell But On The Greasy SideThis oil smells great and is healthy for the hair but beware of using more than one drop! Its a bit on the greasy side so just use a drop.posted Sep 21, 2013Link to this post
Madi S.HairPlatinum BlondeChemically Treated HairInstant Results!One year ago, I had bleached my hair to the point that it felt like noodles. On my adventure to pick up some Joico K Pak products, I came across this. I wanted an oil treatment, and I liked the size of the bottle. This stuff instantly makes your hair feel 10x better, especially the ends! I'm so happy Folica carries it, because I can't seem to find it at my local beauty supply anymore. I highly recommend this product. For best results, is start out with a dime size and work as needed for your hair type (a little goes a long way).posted Aug 14, 2013Link to this post
Maria G.HairBlondeDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairAbsolutely The Best!!I absolutely like this product because, I have extremely cruly, thick, frizzy hair I MEAN CURLY HAIR!! This product leaves my hair soft manageable curls. I have gone through so many different kinds and they've all been a waste of money except for Hair Toys (also discontinued).. It never fails everytime I find something that works great they stop making it or they change the formula!! I just dont get it... Anyway, Please dont stop making this product!!posted Mar 17, 2013Link to this post
Abbe L.FloridaHairLight BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairDon't Waste Your Money Or Time On This Product!First of all, I had to use this all day (three times) to get rid of frizz. I have
highlighted hair and this product was awful. And not worth the price either!
I am shocked that people have written great reviews. When it comes to
Argan oil the best one I have used was pure argan and had no other
things combined with it. I use it before I blow dry and my wavy thin hair
is straight and looks amazing when I use the other one I loved and not this
product. Don't waste your money on it!posted Dec 29, 2012Link to this post -
JessicaPennsylvaniaHairDark BrownDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairSo Far So Good!I use a flat iron/blowdryer on my hair every day, and my hair was getting dry because I had stopped using serums on my hair due to almost every product being too thick or gooey, oily or smelly. My hairdresser suggested I use this and not only does it smell really nice, but its a THIN substance which does go a long way, aka you do not need to use a lot (or, to make reference to the only bad review on here, your hair WILL be greasy!) I have a lot of hair down past the middle of my back, coarser and on the thicker side, and I split my hair in half: a dime size on one half and a dime size on the other half. After using this for 3 weeks now, I definitely noticed my hair being a lot less frizzy, a lot shinier, and a lot healthier looking. I would recommend this product for those of you looking to protect your hair from heat styling while also trying to maintain frizz and keep shine. :)posted Dec 16, 2012Link to this post
AmandaBrooklyn, NYHairLight BrownDry HairColor Treated HairChemically Treated HairWorks Really WellI bought this oil because it's cruelty free and I've been happy with the results. I haven't mastered how much to use yet, so my hair comes out a little greasy. My hair blow dries in an incredibly short time using this oil and I have hair almost down to my waist. It is very soft and managaeable. I've had keratin straightening done, so I can't judge how well it cuts down on frizz. Overall very happy.posted Oct 8, 2012Link to this post
Justine G.Austin, TXHairBlondeFine or Thin HairA Few Drops Makes Miracles HappenI have been using this product for a year and a half and just bought my second bottle. It lasts a LONG time. I have blonde wavy fine hair that breaks easily. I use just a few drops and it makes my hair frizz free when I let it dry naturally, and protects it from heat styling damage when I style my hair straight or use a curling iron. Either way it leaves my hair super soft and smelling great. I will use this product forever.posted Jun 26, 2012Link to this post
JennWalla Walla, WAHairLight BrownDry HairColor Treated HairShould've Checked The Ingredients...I have white hair that's thick and very dry thanks to dying it and the fact that I live in a desert.
I gave this 3 stars because it does prevent frizz and creates shine very well (2 thumbs up for that!), but i felt misled by the bottle. Its a dimethicone product more than an argan oil one. There is more fragrance in this bottle than argan oil (and the fragrance is kind of musky which isn't my favorite). It def. gives me shine and managablity without a greasy look, but when I run my hands through it during the day the silicone slime feel is on my hand.posted Apr 3, 2012Link to this post -
LissaHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairFrizz Tamer!After reading the reviews on this product, I was convinced that its miracle will work on my hair as well. I was right!
Just a small, pea size of Rusk Deepshine, before and after styles, makes my hair feels soooo much smoother and healthier!
And frizzy hair??? Buh-bye!!posted Feb 9, 2012Link to this post -
Angela BelleSuper Smooth And Silky!This product really helped my hair, especially my ends, become smooth and shiny again. My hair is thin and it can get really unruly, but this really helped to smooth everything out. If your hair needs something extra to keep it smooth and shiny, this is seriously for you! I like to put this in my hair after I shower and blowdry, and it makes a huge difference! I also only need a little bit each time, so it's so worth the price. Highly recommended!posted Jan 31, 2012Link to this post

How to make mowing the lawn fun!
Article Summary
July 30, 2005 From the why-didn't-we-think-of-this department, the Evatech lawnmower takes the lawn mower principle, adds a powerful motor and a remote-control unit and even adds in a hybrid power supply (well, sort of) so you don't need to charge the battery. The result is an all-terrain lawnmower that makes mowing the lawn fun. The Florida-produced machine has found a lucrative and unexpected market with retiree and disabled customers though there's apparently a whole bunch of able-bodied male suburban dwellers who have suddenly found a passion for mowing the lawn!

Blog Entry:
April 24, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: REBECCA LYNN WHITE
Rebecca Lynn White is a director in
Western Reserve Partners'
Industrial Group. She focuses on mergers and acquisitions, capital raising and bankruptcy and restructuring transactions.
As a participant in the 117th running of the Boston Marathon last week, my thoughts and prayers are with each of the 27,000 runners, their families, the spectators, volunteers and emergency responders affected by the events that unfolded on Marathon Monday. We runners are strong, though, and will persevere for the spirit of our sport and the legacy of the Boston Marathon.
Earlier this month, I completed my 22nd marathon. Each time I run a marathon it is a different experience, depending on the course, my training, the weather and the other runners. However, I have trained my body to run 26.2 miles and know what it takes to get to the finish line.
Similarly, although each merger and acquisition transaction is unique (depending on the management team, industry, market conditions, etc.), I have been through the process enough times to get a good feel for the course and how to foresee and manage the potential hazards along the way.
In both running a marathon and in selling a business, it is important to:
Hydrate properly
: Continue to operate your business. Hire experienced advisers in whom you have comfort to run the process so your management team and you can continue to run the business. You don't want the company's earnings (and your deal value) to dehydrate during the process.
I have worked on numerous transactions where the company's earnings slide, which usually results in a purchase price renegotiation — not good news for the seller. However, this past fall, I worked with a client that was experiencing phenomenal growth during the sale process. The management team remained focused on running the business and introducing several new products post-letter of intent, which required the purchase of new equipment and the leasing of more manufacturing space. In this instance, we were actually able to renegotiate a higher purchase price for the seller and reimbursement for the capital expenditures related to the new business.
Maintain a steady pace
: Although it can be exciting at the beginning, be careful not to rush the early stages of the process. Ensure that your management team and advisers are properly trained and fully ready to begin the race. Starting out too fast usually results in "hitting the wall" later.
At the end of the third quarter last year, we were approached by several sellers that wanted to get a deal done by the end of the year for tax purposes. This left us three months to approach the market, find a suitable buyer, negotiate a favorable transaction and close. This is all achievable. However, buyers' diligence processes have become more detailed and in-depth, which has significantly increased the time the sell-side process takes. While there are ways to quicken the pace, the best thing to do is to start the process now if you are planning to sell by year-end so you have ample time.
Navigate the terrain
: Discuss potential deal hazards with your advisers early in the process and collectively determine how to navigate them. Be prepared to address issues that may arise during diligence, such as financial and environmental issues. Also, discuss how to manage anxious employees and customers, as well as buyers who try to renegotiate a deal. Being prepared for those uphills in miles 16 through 20 gives you more confidence and increases your chances for a better race.
We are working with a client with multiple international subsidiaries with different fiscal year-ends. Although the company has audited financials, we knew that buyers were going to need extra support to get comfortable with the company's consolidated financial statements. As a result, our client commissioned a sell-side financial diligence report upon which the buyers relied, which sped up their diligence process.
Stay mentally focused
: The sell-side process can be extremely demanding and emotionally taxing. It can seem as though buyers and their advisers are criticizing every aspect of the business you created.
Often, business owners will get "seller's remorse" late in a process. Steve Jobs once said, "There are times when you run a marathon and you wonder, why am I doing this? But you take a drink of water, and around the next bend, you get your wind back, remember the finish line, and keep going." At times like these, it is important to stay mentally tough and push your way through the finish line, where you will be rewarded for all of your hard work.
Running a marathon (or selling a business) is no easy task, but with the proper training, support and mental toughness, it is achievable and rewarding. After months of hard work, there is nothing that can describe the pure exhilaration of the moment when you cross the finish line.

A great achievement! I made banana fritters that aren't deep fried and loaded with fat! I love banana fritters, but they are not exactly light when you order them. I was able to create a low fat fritter by mashing ripe bananas and making a batter, then pan frying them with a little buttered flavored spray. Almost like a pancake with less flour. A little tricky to cook at first, but I found using low heat worked great. I served them with a small scoop (half cup) of Breyers Smooth and Dreamy Ice Cream, only a half point and delicious!
Low Fat Banana Fritters
Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 6 • Size: 4 pancakes 1 tbsp each • Old Points: 2.5 pts • Points+: 3 pts
Calories: 124.8 • Fat: 3.0 g • Protein: 3.2 g • Carb: 22.7 g • Fiber: 1.5 g
- 3 medium very ripe bananas
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- buttered flavored Pam
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon plus more to sprinkle on top
- 1 tsp powdered sugar
Mash the bananas. Add sugar, eggs, flour and vanilla. In a large skillet, heat on low flame. When hot, spray with Pam and using a tablespoon, pour 1 tablespoon of batter for each fritter. When cooked on one side (1-2 minutes) flip over and cook the other side. Set aside in a dish and keep warm in the oven as you repeat with the rest of the batter. When ready to serve, put 4 on a plate and top with a little powdered sugar and cinnamon. Serve with low fat ice cream. Makes 24-26 fritters.

What do you think is going on here?
Not your typical Tuesday at training... pic.twitter.com/eaZsoFcvFe
— San Jose Earthquakes (@SJEarthquakes) September 10, 2013
No - the Bash Brothers are not involved. No - it's not a rookie either. Apparently, Adam Jahn has another costume.
Pro Wrestling Revolution brought four Luchadores to Quakes training on Tuesday. You would think those masks would get in the way - but man, they can play.
Stay tuned for a little video coming your way soon. You can expect Luchadores dancing, capes flying, even a little closelining of Evan Newton... the whole shebang.
Come see them in person this weekend, too. Don't miss the Luchadores at Fiesta Latina Night when the Quakes face Vancouver Whitecaps FC this Saturday, 7:30 p.m. at Buck Shaw Stadium.
Last night, history was made yet again for the USMNT. It was another #DosACero type of night at Crew Stadium in Columbus. With their victory over Mexico and the Honduras-Panama draw, the USMNT's dreams of earning a berth to their seventh straight World Cup were fulfilled.
Right in the middle of it all was Quakes defender Clarence Goodson. After being called in on just Saturday by head man Klinsmann, Goodson put in a solid 90 minutes for the national team squad - anchoring the defense well and causing havoc in US set pieces.
Nothing but praise for the Quakes man from the critics, either. Check out the most recent player ratings here.
Just a few days ago, Clarence Goodson was called in by USMNT head man Jurgen Klinsmann to join the squad ahead of tonight's crucial World Cup Qualifier against Mexico.
Goodson, who most recently featured for the Red, White and Blue during the CONCACAF Gold Cup, is a veteran to USMNT World Cup squad. Having been on the 2010 World Cup roster, Goodson is no stranger to playing a key role for the USMNT's backline. He has earned 42 caps and three goals for the national team.
Tonight, the USMNT could clinch a spot to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. A victory against Mexico, and a Honduras tie or win against Panama, and the USMNT will be on their way to their seventh straight World Cup.
You can watch all the #USAvMEX action on ESPN, WatchESPN and Unimas. Kickoff is set for 5 p.m. PT. If you can't watch live, follow @ussoccer on Twitter for live updates throughout the match.
Get those creative juices flowing, Quakes fans.
We're drawing a blank for a caption for the photo below, and we need your help.
Have any ideas? From now until tomorrow (Sept. 11) at noon, submit your most creative entry in comments on this blog post. Our favorite will win autographed Lenny and Wondo player cards.
UPDATE: We had so many creative options, but we finally have chosen our winner. Congratulations to Byron O'Brien - we like where your head's at. Incredibulus Goalus.
Did you know: Last night was amazing?
One stellar goal, three points and a clean sheet – got that. Here are a few more reasons why you should remember last night's 1-0 win against the Philadelphia Union:
- Jason Hernandez (12,238) surpassed Wade Barrett (12,218) for No. 5 on the club's all-time minutes played
- Chris Wondolowski tied club Hall of Famer Troy Dayak for No. 9 on San Jose's all-time appearance list with his 129th
- #Marchto200: San Jose is one win away from No. 200 in club history
- Jon Busch recorded his 72nd career clean sheet, one away from Matt Reis for No. 5 on the all-time MLS list
- Most importantly, San Jose's 16 corner kicks set a new club record (previous: 15 vs. LA on Aug. 26, 2000 and vs. Chivas USA on May 13, 2012)
June's dramatic California Clasico still leaves a sweet taste in our mouth, and we hope it gets even sweeter this weekend.
Just like MLSsoccer.com's Anatomy of a Goal, we thought we'd break down Alan Gordon's stoppage time game-winner... in GIF form - cause it's Friday, right?
1. It all started with this. It's okay to laugh. Marvin is.
2. Turns out giggles do lead to goals. That's fun:
3. Buschy celebrates.
4. Icing on the cake.
Join us for the official watch party at the Wicked Chicken in Santa Clara this weekend when the Quakes face their SoCal rivals, the LA Galaxy, on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. PT. Tune in to CSN Plus or catch the match on 1590 KLIV or 1370 KZSF.
Every wondered what the bash brothers do when they're not on the soccer field?
We'll give you a hint:
The famed Quakes duo, Alan Gordon and Steven Lenhart, will be featured on NBC Sports Network's weekly show, MLS Insider, tonight. The hour-long special will highlight the Bash Brothers' play on and, mainly, off the pitch.
We're not one to give any spoilers... but we're pretty sure the man in the gorilla suit will make an appearance too. Tune in or set your DVRs to NBC Sports Network at 4:30 p.m. PT tonight.
We know what you're thinking. How do I get my hands on one of these perfect house pets? I mean, it's pottery based on a professional soccer player that grows. And, you can style it any way you want!
Come on, people. There really isn't anything better (unless it twerked like the real Lenny... way better than Miley may we add).
The Steven Lenhart Chia Pet is available for one time only at the Lenhart Chia Pet Night on September 8 presented by Cosmopolitan Catering. 2,500 fans who come to watch the Quakes face the Philadelphia Union at Buck Shaw Stadium will take home one of these bad boys.
What are you waiting for? Get your tickets here.
During this week in 2004, the Quakes beat the then Dallas Burn 3-0 at Spartan Stadium. Ramiro Corrales tallied the first goal of the match, pulling off a brilliant finish from Landon Donovan's assist. A Dallas own goal and a second half strike from Brian Ching, also assisted by Landon Donovan, sealed the deal for the home side.
To make the night even more memorable, the Quakes wore a throwback red kit in honor of the club's 30th anniversary.
Is this technically a throwback of a throwback? Regardless, it's Friday and history likes to repeat itself.

Hi Sarah,"Tycho to the Moon" is only listed until the 24th of June because that is the last day it has been programmed before the holidays start. During the winter holidays, Tycho will be showing at 11am and 1pm. Programming for Term 3 has not yet been finalised, however because of its popularity it will most likely continue to be scheduled at the usual times listed above.

WildDawg1 said: "What a great experience it was using Lucky Gunner. Excellent prices, fast delivery and the quailty was exceptional. I have used them on at least four occasions and always the same great service. If only there were more online dealers who took as great care with their customers would make things so much simpler thanks gunner"
BigDog1911 said: "There is no reason to shop around the internet for any type of ammo. From now on, the one and only place I will ever go to is Luckygunner.com. You know exactly what they have, and it's almost always a better price than anywhere else you might find. There are never backorders, so you're not dissapointed when you open your package to find half of your order not filled. You can count on your ammo being delivered to your front door in just a few days after you place your order. I have told my family, friends and people at my shooting club that Luckygunner.com is the best place for all of your ammo needs."
HardWired56 said: "Every order I place gets here in 3 days-the shipping is fast and cheap and the online availability of inventory is the best. I have bought the Lake City reman .45acp and .380-super happy with both rounds. Ok, then I buy several different types of .223/5.56 just to see how they shoot-all were as expected and good stuff. Finally I had to buy more .22longs. Got Federal, Federal Champions and Winchester. I bought 3 bricks of ammo for what I would pay for 2 around here (not counting wasted gas and time). I will order again - Great work folks!"

Trip's Tranquill is the second Pokémon on Trip's team.
Tranquill first appeared in A Rival Battle for Club Champ! where it was the first Pokemon Trip used in his second battle with Ash in the Battle Club. It easily defeated Ash's Tepig and Oshawott with its Super Luck-boosted Aerial Ace before losing to Pikachu.
It appeared again in A Venipede Stampede! where it saved Ash's Pidove by using Air Cutter to block a Venipede's Sludge Bomb in Castelia City. It then teamed up with Ash's newly-evolved Tranquill, using Aerial Ace to send the other Venipede back to their colony.Known moves

When we sit opposite each other at a Valentine's Day dinner, we feel profoundly uneasy, even threatened, if, just then, not everything feels right.
These are the impossible expectations of romantic love: It must be unconditional, constant and, of course, invariably passionate. Anything else casts doubt on whether the love is genuine. And this needless doubt can paralyze or kill a relationship.
It hasn't always been this way. Before dropping hundreds of dollars on a Valentine's Day date or bemoaning loneliness that night, recall how love was regarded in ancient times — and consider whether some of these older incarnations might be worth reviving.
There is no holiday celebrating friendship, but only since the mid-19th century has romance been elevated above other types of love. For most ancient Greeks, for example, friendship was every bit as passionate and valuable as romantic-sexual love. Aristotle regarded friendship as a lifetime's commitment to mutual welfare, in which two people become "second selves" to each other.
In the Bible, King Saul's son Jonathan loves David, the young warrior who slays Goliath, "as his own soul" and swears eternal friendship with him, while David says their friendship surpasses romantic love. Ruth declares her friendship for her mother-in-law, Naomi, in terms equivalent to a marriage vow: "Where you go I will go, where you lodge I will lodge. . . . Where you die I will die."
Today, friendship has been demoted beneath the ideal of romance, but they should be on an equal footing. We tend to regard our friendships as inferior to our romances in passion, intimacy and depth of commitment. Often they're little more than confessionals in which we seek a sympathetic ear to help us fix — or escape — our romances. When Harry met Sally, they progressed from friends to lovers. And on Facebook we're all "friends" now, further downgrading the meaning of what should be a selective and multifaceted bond.
The idea of human love being unconditional is also a relatively modern invention. Until the 18th century, love had been seen, variously, as conditional on the other person's beauty (Plato), her virtues, (Aristotle), her goodness (Saint Augustine) or her moral authenticity (the Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau). Even Saint Thomas Aquinas, perhaps the greatest of all Christian theologians, said we would have no reason to love God if He weren't good.
The myth that love is unconditional comes from the decline of religion. Christianity, for example, teaches that only God loves unconditionally and that humans, being sinners, need God's grace to get anywhere close to unconditional love. After the 18th-century Enlightenment, the divine ability to love unconditionally got attributed to human beings, while the other half of the story — that we need God's grace for it — was sidelined.
But all human love is conditional. We love others because of something, whether their beauty, goodness or power; because they belong to our families; or because they protect and nurture us. By recognising that all we have is conditional love, we are less likely to give up on our loved ones as quickly as we often do, less likely to be worried if we occasionally fall in and out of love with them or they with us, and less likely to scare them off by expecting their love to be of superhuman strength.
Another idea about love that has changed over time is that true love must be everlasting. But when love ends, it doesn't mean it wasn't true. It's usually replaced with companionship, habit or benevolence rather than enmity. The euphemism that gets tossed around is that we're coming to love someone "in different ways". Often, though, this isn't accurate: We are, in fact, ceasing to love them.
Many of the great thinkers of love acknowledged its mortality. Aristotle said that love between two people should end if they are no longer alike in their virtues. Even Jesus seemed to suggest that God's love for humanity isn't necessarily eternal. After all, at the Last Judgment, the righteous will be rewarded with the Kingdom of God — with everlasting love — but those who did not act well in their lives will hear the heavenly judge say: "You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." And Jesus adds: "These will go away into eternal punishment."
Love, in other words, is not as patient, kind or enduring as we might like to think.
And finally, let's release romantic and marital love from the stranglehold of sexual expectation. Sure, sex is an unsurpassed pleasure — but you can have a tremendous erotic bond with a person and have sex only infrequently. The ethos of courtly love in the 12th and 13th centuries — the love of the troubadours — involved intense eroticism but little if any consummation. I'm not suggesting that we revive mediaeval courtship, but we should think of sex as just one of the bonds and delights of erotic love, rather than as its touchstone. If sex isn't going so well, or if desire is no longer so urgent, this doesn't necessarily mean that we love less urgently, let alone that it's time for a change.
The point of recalibrating our expectations isn't to downgrade romantic love but to make it more successful. We are putting romantic love on a firmer footing if we accept that friendship should play an equal part in meeting our need to love and be loved, that love is much more than romance, that romance needn't live or die by sex, and that because love is conditional, we needn't always worry if it wavers. To believe, on the contrary, that our love is true only if it is unconditional and unchanging is to play God — and that always ends badly.

The Next Generation
Posted on Jul 21, 2010
Our kids have been out of school since May 26. Every day I come home from work and ask my son what he did all day — same answer — Xbox. I ask my daughter what she did — same answer — nothing. Really? When we were kids, we rode our bikes to the bike shop for candy (most were a penny or a nickel), went to the local plunge, walked to the movies, and rode the bus to the beach for 75 cents. We also read books that we could actually hold in our hands, instead of downloading onto a Kindle or an iPad.
