WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
Washington, D.C.—For the first time, annual consumer purchases of organic products in the United States have topped $30 billion. At $31.5 billion, $29.22 billion of which went to organic foods and beverages with organic non-foods at $2.2 billion, the sector grew 9.5% in 2011 over the previous year.
In the fall of 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was petitioned by high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) manufacturers for the allowance to change the name from HFCS to corn sugar. Now, a cohort of consumer groups is urging FDA to reject this pending request.
Berkeley, CA—Maker of organic macaroni and cheese and other organic comfort foods, Annie's, Inc., based here, has had a successful initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange. Stock prices climbed 89% on its first day of trading to nearly $40/share, raising $95 million for the company.
News from industry food companies.
The 2012 Natural Products Expo West tradeshow was the largest in its 30-year history. Some 60,000 industry members attended the event, which ran March 8–11 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Show organizers said attendance of retail buyers grew 13% this year, which made for a good show, say many exhibitors.
Emeryville, CA—At mile 120 of a 175-mile bike ride in 1990, Clif Bar & Company founder, co-owner and co-CEO Gary Erickson came up with the idea for CLIF Bar. A short time later, he baked the first bar in his mother's kitchen, and the rest is company history. 2012 marks the company's 20-year anniversary, and it is marking the occasion with new product launches and events throughout the year for customers and retailers.

Final plans for Jacksonville Landing redevelopment at least another month away
A finalized plan for the redevelopment of the Jacksonville Landing is at least another month away.
Developer Toney Sleiman, whose firm Sleiman Enterprises owns the Landing, said Tuesday he's waiting on the Downtown Investment Authority's market feasibility study to determine the right mix of commercial uses and residential units for the property.
"Once I see that and know what the study says, I'm ready to push forward," Sleiman said.
That study — one of three in the works by consultants hired by the DIA board — is expected the first week of April, Sleiman said.
"What's 30 days? I've had it for 10 years," he said, laughing.
Sleiman said that he remains optimistic and enthusiastic about the project: Conversations with the city are going well, he said, and he has interest from potential tenants, although he declined to name them.
He said he plans to aggressively market the redevelopment at the International Council of Shopping Centers national convention in Las Vegas in May, hitting "every restaurant and bar concept there."
Since September 2013, Sleiman has been working with DIA CEO Aundra Wallace and the Haskell Co. on a conceptual redesign of the Landing, a festival waterfront marketplace on Downtown's Northbank. In January, Haskell Chief Architect Alan Wilson presented conceptual renderings to the DIA board. The ideas presented to the board include ground-level restaurants, a boutique hotel and residential units.
The Business Journal was first to report in September that Sleiman was mulling a renovation of the Landing.

DOD Travel Improper Payments:
Fiscal Year 2006 Reporting Was Incomplete and Planned Improvement Efforts Face Challenges
GAO-08-16: Published: Dec 14, 2007. Publicly Released: Dec 14, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Fiscal year 2006 was the first year that the Department of Defense (DOD) reported improper payment information for its travel program under the Improper Payments Information Act of 2002 (IPIA). For fiscal year 2006, DOD reported obligations of approximately $8.5 billion for travel. Congress mandated that GAO assess the reasons why DOD is not fully in compliance with IPIA related to travel expenditures. In May 2007, GAO issued an initial report in response to this mandate. To further respond, GAO assessed (1) the completeness and accuracy of DOD's fiscal year 2006 IPIA travel disclosure in its performance and accountability report (PAR), and (2) DOD's planned efforts to improve and refine its processes for estimating and reporting on travel improper payments. To complete this work, GAO reviewed DOD's IPIA reporting, IPIA, Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) IPIA implementing guidance, and met with cognizant DOD officials.
In its fiscal year 2006 PAR, DOD reported an estimate of approximately $8 million in travel improper payments, reflecting about 1 percent of reported travel payments. While this estimate would indicate the program was not at risk of significant erroneous payments under OMB guidance, DOD's improper payment travel disclosure for fiscal year 2006 was incomplete. The DOD travel payment data used to assess the program's risk of significant improper payments only included payments processed by the Defense Travel System (DTS)--approximately 10 percent of the $8.5 billion of DOD travel obligations reported for fiscal year 2006. Further, DOD's 2006 PAR described a travel postpayment review process that may mislead readers to believe that the reported travel improper payment estimate represents more than DTS-processed travel. The travel improper payment estimate also excluded the largest user of DTS, the Army, which would likely have increased DOD's estimate by over $4 million. Finally, the statistical sampling methodology and process used by DOD to estimate DTS improper payments as reported for fiscal year 2006 had several weaknesses and did not result in statistically valid estimates of travel improper payments. DOD is taking steps to more fully assess and report on its travel program for improper payments for future IPIA reporting. DOD's planned assessment is to be based on an annual Improper Payments Survey conducted by the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller). However, GAO's review identified several weaknesses with the survey and reported results, including limited guidance on how to estimate travel improper payments and a lack of oversight and review over implementation of the survey and its results. As shown in the figure below, there were substantial discrepancies among the travel populations reported in the PAR, improper payment survey, and fiscal year 2006 travel obligations. The exclusion of such a significant portion of travel expenditures in the survey decreases its effectiveness as an improper payments assessment tool. DOD has also established a Program Officer for Improper Payment and Recovery Auditing, an improper payment working group, and held a "Department of Defense Improper Payments Information Act Conference."
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In November 2007, DOD issued guidance to better ensure statistically valid reporting of the extent of the Department's improper travel payment estimates. Specifically, the guidance established procedures for ensuring components' sampling plans for travel payments provided for statistically valid reporting on improper payment estimates, including provisions for reviewing components' risk assessment analysis.
Recommendation: In order to improve the usefulness and completeness of IPIA reporting for DOD's travel program, the Secretary of Defense should direct the DOD Comptroller to develop and implement guidance for the preparation of improper payment estimates, to include (1) how to compute a statistically valid estimate of improper payments, and (2) the consideration of risk factors associated with vulnerability to improper payments.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In March 2010, DOD's Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (OUSD) (Comptroller) issued guidance for developing and reporting improper travel payment estimates in accordance with OMB guidance. As a result, DOD's fiscal year 2010 Performance Accountability Report, dated November 15, 2010, provided more complete and accurate information on the extent of its improper payments related to travel.
Recommendation: In order to improve the usefulness and completeness of IPIA reporting for DOD's travel program, the Secretary of Defense should direct the DOD Comptroller to establish and implement policies and procedures to report a valid improper payment estimate for the population.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In March 2010, DOD transitioned to the Defense Travel System for all travel payments. With that transition complete, DOD has a more relable basis for determining the full population of travel payments from which to estimate the extent of any DOD-wide improper travel payments. Consequently, for the first time, in DOD's fiscal year 2010 Performance and Accountability Report dated November 15, 2010, DOD identified a complete population of DOD travel payments; totalling about $9.3 billion.
Recommendation: In order to improve the usefulness and completeness of IPIA reporting for DOD's travel program, the Secretary of Defense should direct the DOD Comptroller to establish and implement policies and procedures to reliably identify the complete population of DOD travel payments.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In May 2008, the DOD Comptroller instituted procedures providing for quarterly asssessments of the componetns' data collection and reporting for travel improper payments.
Recommendation: In order to improve the usefulness and completeness of IPIA reporting for DOD's travel program, the Secretary of Defense should direct the DOD Comptroller to establish and implement policies and procedures specifying actions to oversee the data collection process for travel improper payments to be included in the annual PAR, including, at a minimum: (1) periodic reviews of processes used by components to prepare improper payment estimates, and (2) reviews of information reported in the improper payment survey to assure that the population being reported is complete, and the improper payment estimate data reported are reliable and complete.

2 Answers
Answer 1
When the car is turned off, what is still on? - Bret Bodas
Answer 2
Your rear hatch lid sensor may think the hatch isnt closed thereby allowing the trunk light to remain on. Go to your trunk. Fold the parcel shelf halfway and reclose the hatch. Is the trunk light on? If so, locate and remove the trunk light bulb by pulling it downward. Its bullet connector ends are retained by contact pressure. Happy trails! - Visitor

Local Control Shaping Up To Be A Statewide Fight
Colorado's November ballot is going to be a crowded one. Not only will we be voting on statewide offices like Governor and Attorney General, but we will likely have many ballot issues to consider. Among those issues may be one seeking to put the ultimate control of corporate development in the hands of cities and not the state.
The Colorado Community Rights Network plans to place the Right to Local Self Government Act on this year's ballot. The act would allow cities to ban particular industrial activities that they feel pose a danger to the health, welfare or safety of the community.
The act is considered to essentially allow cities to ban fracking, but like any amendment to the state constitution, it can have far greater implications. It is also a sign that there is growing tension among cities wanting to override the authority of state government.
However, even though the growth of fracking in Colorado has brought the idea of local control into tighter focus, if local control truly trumps state authority, many communities may find it brings unforeseen problems.
By expanding the idea of local control beyond just fracking, the Right to Local Self Government Act would allow cities a wide berth of what kinds of industry they could ban. The unforeseen problems are not necessarily with the bans themselves, but how the cities are able to attract new business to their cities that they do not wish to ban.
When cities hold the cards, state government would be limited in how it could negotiate to attract big business. State leaders can create better tax breaks and overall deals because of the ability to negotiate on a wider level.
Perhaps there are communities that are okay with losing out on some bigger businesses if they had the authority to ban what they felt like. But I would encourage caution with that intention based on the experience of my hometown.
I grew up in Wheat Ridge, a tiny suburb west of Denver. The city has always prided itself on being a small town and rarely pursued big business tax bases in my youth. Throughout my childhood I watched Arvada and Lakewood, on the north and south borders of Wheat Ridge respectively, grow their tax bases exponentially with business development.
When the time finally came a few years back when Wheat Ridge finally wanted to grow and capture a big box store to boost the tax base, they were quickly outmaneuvered watched that same store be built in Lone Tree, sending millions in taxes to some other city.
Did local authority doom Wheat Ridge? No. But did the idea that they could simply deny big business development whenever they felt like and simply make it happen when it was convenient lead to major problems? That answer is far easier to see.
Local control also means local responsibility. If you are okay with deciding what can and cannot be built in your neighborhood, you are also okay with deciding how to attract business with no one's help.
If communities want to pursue local control, then they have every right to. And I can certainly understand the issue when you limit it to just fracking. However, when you expand the idea to nearly anything under the sun, voters will need to proceed with eyes open.

Cancer survivor sets sights on Ironman Canada
June 24, 2014
To the untrained eye, Paul Weigel, 44, seems like your typical Issaquah resident — a healthy, hardworking family man with an unquenchable thirst for fitness and the great outdoors.
While most use the summer months for leisure, Weigel spends his time training to compete in the Ironman Canada competition in July in Whistler, British Colombia.
Self-described as "5-foot-10 and about 200 pounds," Weigel arrives for an interview in a tan T-shirt, green khaki pants and running shoes. A bike sits securely latched atop his car, which he said was in need of a tune-up.
Soccer clubs bring collegiate talent
June 3, 2014
Issaquah residents won't have to go far this summer to watch some top-shelf soccer talent from across the region and world.
Issaquah High School is the primary home stadium for the Puget Sound Gunners FC and ISC Gunners FC, men's and women's teams that develop elite college-aged players with professional aspirations.
"This will allow fans to witness a standard of college players live and in the flesh," the teams' general manager Gwynne Williams said.
Local soccer players make All-Area team
June 3, 2014
Boys soccer players from Issaquah, Liberty and Skyline high schools were named to The Seattle Times' All-Area team.
Liberty's Colton Ronk, Skyline's Jason Twaddle and Issaquah's Saif Kerawala were all honored.
Ronk, a senior, recorded nine goals and seven assists for Liberty, and was a key reason the Patriots won the KingCo 3A/2A regular-season title for the second straight year. He'll play at Highline Community College next year.

Visualize more than 600 students from Issaquah, Liberty and Skyline high schools sharing fascinating research in kinematics, dynamics, energy and work, momentum, and wave behavior.
Marine Corps, Vietnam shaped Jerry Pearson's servant nature
May 21, 2014
In a small box that's usually tucked away in his home library, Issaquah attorney Jerry Pearson has several keepsakes from his three-year stint in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Among the items are a set of dog tags made to commemorate three of his fellow Marines; a brass dragon head he found in a village; and the two Purple Hearts he was awarded for combat-related wounds in Vietnam.
The dragon head, in particular, brings back a flood of memories for Pearson, who was born in Seattle before moving to Issaquah as a small child in 1951. He associates it with Ron Dexter and Lester Bell, two members of the Fifth Marine Division who were shipped to the jungles of Southeast Asia and never came home.

IHS alum to play for prestigious symphony
Issaquah High School alumni Andy Abel's musical aspirations took a major leap forward after receiving an unexpected phone call from the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Tanglewood Music Center.
"I was not expected to get in," Abel said. "But when I got the call from (associate director of student affairs) Michael Nock, I tried to be very professional about it and called him back an hour later and said, 'Yes, I would love to accept the fellowship position.'"
Abel, a Sammamish resident and now a freshman at the University of Washington, was awarded the Juliet Esselborn Geier Memorial Fellowship to study and perform with the Tanglewood Music Center in Massachusetts this summer.

Open-records training could be legislated
February 11, 2014
Lawmakers are considering a bill that would send public officials and employees to what amounts to open-records school.
House Bill 2121 would require public officials and employees to undergo training on open government laws under the state's Public Records Act and the Open Public Meetings Act.
When the public's right to know is "stymied" by a public records officer, Rep. Gerry Pollet (D-Seattle) said, "it's not a pleasant thing to deal with." Pollet is the main sponsor of the bill, and advocated for a similar bill last year.

Family travels to Tanzania in honor of late daughter
Kristy LeMond was an Issaquah girl.
She grew up in this community she called home, attending Sunset Elementary School, Pine Lake Middle School and Issaquah High School, where she starred on the Eagles volleyball team before graduating in 2007 and enrolling at the University of Washington.
She had a second home, though, and it was more than 9,000 miles away in a Tanzania community she grew to love deeply after a 2011 post-graduation volunteer trip.

Meet the New York town where George Bailey lived his 'Wonderful Life'
SENECA FALLS, N.Y. • Is this where George Bailey lived his wonderful life?
Folks in this quaint upstate New York town think so.
Or more precisely, they say Bailey's make-believe hometown of Bedford Falls in "It's a Wonderful Life" — including the main street and the steel truss bridge — was heavily inspired by Seneca Falls.
This cannot be proven, and director Frank Capra never confirmed such a connection. But that hasn't stopped locals from celebrating the beloved movie every December, complete with actors dressed as Clarence the Angel and mean old Mr. Potter parading down a main street gussied up to look like Bedford Falls.
"Capra always said Bedford Falls represented little slices of small towns that he had visited all across America. We're not in a position to dispute that," said Francis Caraccilo, a trustee for the Seneca Falls It's a Wonderful Life Museum. "We just think we're a bigger slice."
Capra's 1946 film stars Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey, a small-town, frustrated banker who realizes his life's value after Clarence shows him what would become of Bedford Falls if George had never been born.
The homey town falls into the clutches of the greedy slumlord Potter, and his Pottersville becomes a city of sin, brimming with sleazy nightclubs, burlesque halls, pawn shops and neon lights.
If Bedford Falls (the nice one, not the naughty one) really was modeled after Seneca Falls, Capra never let on, and died in 1991. But many in this town of 9,000 say they have a strong circumstantial case.
Seneca Falls has a nice broad main street like Bedford Falls', and there's a bridge with a plaque dedicated to a man who jumped from the span to save a suicidal woman in 1917 — an act echoed in the film.
Karolyn Grimes, who played George's daughter Zuzu in the movie and is a festival regular, said Seneca Falls' similarities are so striking she blurted out "It's Bedford Falls!" during her first visit.
The film also is loaded with references to nearby upstate cities. The bank examiner wants to get back to his family in Elmira for Christmas. George's wealthy friend Sam Wainwright talks of building a factory outside of Rochester, and his brother is offered a job in Buffalo. Bedford Falls also has a Genesee Street. The word "genesee" is from the local Iroquois and is closely associated with the Finger Lakes region that includes Seneca Falls.
And while there's no slam-dunk proof that Capra ever set foot in Seneca Falls, there is the haircut story.
Local barber Tommy Bellissima claimed he cut Capra's hair in 1945. Bellissima, who died in 2011, didn't initially know the customer he chatted with was famous, but the surname Capra stuck in his head because it means "goat" in Italian. The story is that Capra had been on his way to visit an aunt nearby.
Maybe fitting for a Christmas story, the contention that Seneca Falls is the real Bedford Falls comes down to belief.
"There just is no evidence to support it, but God bless them," said Jeanine Basinger, curator of the Frank Capra Archive at Wesleyan University and author of "The It's a Wonderful Life Book."
Basinger said Capra was a meticulous record keeper, yet she has never come across the link in Capra's records, his diary entries or script notes — not to mention the many conversations she had with Capra over years.
"I hate being in the role of Mr. Potter. I'm sorry, everybody. I wish I could say: 'Eureka! And here it is!' But the fact is there is absolutely no evidence to confirm this," Basinger said.
It's also possible that Capra might have known of Bedford Hills, a hamlet in the moneyed bedroom community of Bedford (think Sam Wainwright) north of New York City. But Evelyne Ryan, executive director of the Bedford Historical Society, said that the place is not similar to Bedford Falls and that a case has never been seriously made.

So far this quarter Radian's net denials are nearly flat, especially compared to the thousands per month they have been doing for the past year. But they are assuming away $500M+ in reserves based on future denials. Something doesn't compute.
Take away that $500M and their risk to capital is well above 25:1. And Radian can't afford to go above 25:1, the consequences will be dire.
Sentiment: Strong Sell

A movie
Step through the portal and find yourself someplace, or sometime, far far away from the here and now. Join Colonel Jack O'Neill and his secret organization that explores the mysterious Stargates, dimensional doorways that can take them throughout … see full wiki
Heres the rundown. Stargate was a movie many years back in which we found a large circle in Egypt that essentially lead to wormhole travel to other planets. Cool except with space travel comes aliens. All the time. These aliens are the Goauld, nasty weird sort-of-snake-like creatures that do the usual burrow inside your body and initiate mind control thing. So after picking up where the movie left off, we now have the Stargate program inside Cheyenne Mountain where various Stargate teams visit different worlds. SG-1 is the first team to go through the gate, consisting of Colonel Jack ONeill (Richard Dean Anderson), Captain Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping), Dr. Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks), and Tealc (Christopher Judge).
With hundreds of worlds to explore, the Goauld seeking our destruction, characters youre bound to love, and good effects, music, and plotlines, youre sure to enjoy this series. Of course, its always much easier to just crack and buy the whole season instead of going volume by volume. (Were on volume 2 by the way).
Episode 4: The Broca Divide Its just a regular day in the lives of SG-1. Suit up, go through the gate, visit a planet that has cavemen-like people on one side and a more civilized society on the other. Youve got to be careful, or you never know who will be struck down with a virus next and turned into club-wielding primitives.
Ok, so I got overboard with the club-wielding thing. This was a fun one because we get introduced to Dr. Fraiser who is like Sam cute but smart and useful (aka shes not just eye candy for the boys). And Richard Dean Anderson is a mean and scary guy when hes gone back a few eras. I always love some of the science stuff behind the episodes as well. I mean, I dont really know if something like this could happen, but hey, at least is sounds plausible.
Episode 5: The First Commandment The SG-9 team is overdue, so now its SG-1s job to go after them. They realize that SG-9s captain thinks hes all that and a bag of chips due to the people treating him like a god. Now theyve got to get him off his high horse with as little fuss as possible. Good luck with that.
I actually havent seen this episode either, now that I think about it. No, I take it back; Ive seen parts of it. We never really get a straight answer as to what happened to the loopy captain to make him completely loopy. Something else I didnt get some of the people seemed all extra-tribal with the spears and makeup and such, but then the other people seemed like regular non-tribal style people. It just didnt make sense to me. And I wished they couldnt speak English either. Id rather have Daniel communicating in an obscure dialect to them than everyone chatting in English. Thats my only pet peeve for the show from time to time. Maybe I never should have taken that Origin of the English Language class in college
Episode 6: Brief Candle SG-1 visits a team of happy people who eat, drink, and are merry for only 100 days and then they die. Bummer. They think there must be something to this. Whatever the cause, they need to find out because ever since ONeill hopped into bed with a girl named Kynthia, his lifespan has just been cut short. So short, hes set to die in a few weeks time.
Lesson learned here? Dont have sex with strangers. And watch out for date rape drugs..or food. I dont quite get how Jack will go back to being normal after Carter figures it out (because you knew she would), but oh well. Suspension of disbelief, dont fail me now!
Episode 7: Cold Lazarus On a planet filled with blue and yellow colors, along with some impressive looking crystals, ONeill gets a nasty shock. They return to the planet, except there is one more individual in tow and it looks exactly like ONeill. Hoping to heal the Colonel, the being sets off to try and make right ONeills pain, but it isnt meant to hang around on our planet. Time to get it home before more damage is done to everyone.
I seem to have a problem when it comes to seeing the beginnings of episodes. Not sure why, but it happens a lot. I absolutely love the planet they end up on here, as well as those vibrantly blue crystals. Its just nice to see them on a weird planet instead of a forested one for once. And I always like it when they bump into aliens that arent human/oid.
Episode 8: Thors Hammer The Goauld dont like us. At all. So we have to find people who will help in our fight against them. It seems like a positive thing when they visit Cimmeria where the good Norse gods are still pleasantly revered for their goodness. Whoever these Norse gods were, ONeill and Tealc are faced with some big problems when they end up in a cavern stuck between rocks, an Unas, and Thors Hammer.
Of course, a humanoid alien can be cool too. By the way, the Unas creature is voiced by James Earl Jones. How cool is that?! My actual reaction to this was a squeal followed by, No way! That kicks so much *ss! I just think its awesome, thats all. I mean, how do you get James Earl Jones to mosey on over and do the voice of some random alien?
I think some of the effects jumped up a notch here, what with the crystals imitating faces and the makeup required for the Unas. I mean, thats the kind of stuff that takes a lot of work. Sometimes the music can be a little overdramatic I think, but theyre getting the hang of it and it goes nicely. Theyre still sticking with David Arnolds original theme (as they will for, well, as long as the series runs) which is good because he did a fine job the first time (though it was kind of funny recognizing a tune from Arnolds Independence Day theme).
Acting is the best, characters are great, and to think it was my parents that got me hooked on this series. What can I say? Its your turn now. ^_~

Originally written on The Penalty Flag | Last updated 11/28/12
With the rest of the football world watching their every movement: the New York Giants did what they did best on Sunday night. They impressed. On the heels of a two-game losing skid, many people believed the Giants simply didn't have that mojo they had a year ago when they won the super bowl. In a wide open NFC East, some thought the Giants wouldn't even make the playoffs this year. But, facing a red-hot Green Bay Packers team on national television, the Giants erased any idea that they aren't still one of the best teams in football, and they offered a simple reminder that they are the defending champions in the NFL.… Read more

Told me to come back later. 4 hrs later I go back and vehicle is ready, but they increased the price by $2,000! 1st bad act & lied about the price. When I told them I was going elsewhere they made me sign some papers for "confidential info" and as I'm reading what I am signing the Mgr. tells me to "just sign". after signing he said that was it & I could leave.

Revenge Season 2, Episode 4, "Intuition" Spoiler Clip: Ashley Catches Daniel Investigating Grayson Global (VIDEO)
We're still trying to figure out whose side Ashley Davenport's on. Although she's dating Daniel, she regularly reports to his father. So when she caught Daniel snooping on Conrad's computer in this new spoiler clip for Revenge Season 2, Episode 4, "Intuition," we weren't sure which way it would go.
At first we were sure she'd be reporting back to Connie, but Daniel's a pretty convincing pretty boy. Ash wouldn't keep helping out her employer if he's going to throw her under the bus, would she?
Watch the clip and tell us what you think below!
Revenge Season 2, Episode 4, "Intuition" airs on Sunday, Oct. 21 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.

Yesterday I learned a well-known fact – too much caffeine can give you the shakes. Yes, I am guilty of having one or two too many cups of coffee, but since I woke up at 2:45AM for no apparent reason, I began drinking before the sun came up and continued throughout the morning. And they weren't my typical decaf.
One cup led to two, three, and more… And around 2PM I started to feel it. My toes were tapping, my legs were bouncing, and my fingers were typing like a mad woman. Thankfully, a lot of people are out of our office this week so no one noticed.
It's been about a week and a half since I've been waking up in the middle of the night and unable to get back to sleep. Surprisingly though, I don't feel all that tired throughout the day and I'm still in happy spirits. I definitely have been embracing the old lady lifestyle and going to bed around 9PM or earlier, but that's not anything new.
I'm not stressed but I do have a few things on my mind so that could have something to do with it. Or maybe my body truly doesn't need more than 6 hours of sleep right now? Either way, I have an appointment with my rheumatologist this afternoon and will ask him. Maybe he'll have some insight?!
Moving onto Wednesday's traditional theme: my [Tuesday] eats. Let me preface my pictures by saying that my yesterday's eats were nothing to brag about. Breakfast was satisfying, lunch was random, and dinner was no-fuss. We all have those kinda days on occasion and I had mine yesterday.
P.S. We received this in the mail yesterday… I think the hospital is more ready than Ryan or I am for our family to grow!
Question: Coffee or tea? What are your typical mix-ins?
Question: When you can't sleep, what do you do? Watch TV? Go on the computer?
— Allison

Product description
Nikki Glass can track down any man. But when her latest client turns out to be a true descendant of Hades, Nikki now discovers she can't die. Crazy as it sounds, Nikki's manhunting skills are literally god-given. She's a living, breathing descendant of Artemis who has stepped right into a trap set by the children of the gods. Nikki's new "friends" include a descendant of Eros, who uses sex as a weapon; a descendant of Loki, whose tricks are no laughing matter; and a half-mad descendant of Kali who thinks she's a spy. But most powerful of all are the Olympians, a rival clan of immortals seeking to destroy all Descendants who refuse to bow down to them. In the eternal battle of good god/bad god, Nikki would make a divine weapon. But if they think she'll surrender without a fight, the gods must be crazy.

Emmys: Producer Ken Ehrlich Defends 'In Memoriam' Choices
Planning special tributes for five late TV personalities, Ehrlich is prepared for the annual backlash: "No matter what we do, there will be people who feel we had other options."
Unlike years previous, the 2013 Primetime Emmys' selections for the "In Memoriam" presentation are being questioned before the telecast even airs.
After announcing special tributes for James Gandolfini, Gary David Goldberg, Cory Monteith, Jean Stapleton and Jonathan Winters, in addition to the traditional reel celebrating industry personalities that died in the last year, executive Ken Ehrlich is already defending the choices -- namely the absence of late Dallas actor Larry Hagman on the list.
Q&A: Emmy Host Neil Patrick Harris Says 'I Don't Want to Be Too Vanilla'
"No matter what we do, there will be people who feel we had other options and could have done other things," Erlich said during a Wednesday call with reporters. "In all candor, this becomes a producer's option. And in this case, we selected these five knowing certainly others could be treated this way, but these were the five we chose."
Monteith, whose lone TV credit of significance was Glee, made the cut because of the extenuating circumstances of his sudden death in July.
"It was a rather personal choice, Cory's appeal is to a different generation," said Ehrlich. "At 31, he passed away under very different circumstances. It was important to be responsive to the younger viewers to whom Cory meant perhaps as much as these other individuals meant to their own generations."
PHOTOS: THR's Cover Shoot With Emmy Icons Tina Fey and Jerry Seinfeld
Ehrlich's discussion of the new "In Memoriam" came just an hour after the TV Academy announced the Sunday telecast will also include a tribute to television's role in covering the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The EP insisted that the somber segment, combined with the extended "In Memoriam" plans, will not bring down the tone of the show.
"It's going to be celebratory," he said. "I don't want to overemphasize these pieces we've talked about. An awards show, like television, needs to have a balance."
As for the celebration, Ehrlich would not elaborate on host Neil Patrick Harris' recent insistence that he will not open the show with one of his trademark musical numbers.
"I will tell you that the show will open in a way that is definitely not expected," he said, copping to his own ambiguity. "I don't like to talk about the show open."
The Emmys airs live on Sunday on CBS from the Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live.
