Caregivers are the silent heroes. I've been saying it for years.
Because, by our own choosing, most go virtually unnoticed. We're invisible to others. We hide in our cocoons.
…And now it appears that an entire month has been proclaimed just of us "ghosts." It's called National Family Caregiver Month. It's this month – November.
Who Knew???
Let's compare this month's recognition to the previous months. In October, everyone, including professional and college athletes, wore pink to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Everyone wore pink. I did, as well. Pink was in – even for us men!
So now it's November. It's our month. What's our color? What recognition activities are scheduled? What are people doing for National Family Caregiver Month? It's hard to say, isn't it? No – it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to say!
There are 65 million family caregivers in the United States alone. That equals 29% of the U.S. population, or two-and-a-half times the population of the entire state of Texas!
And yet, declaring a month for our "silent majority" will likely go virtually unnoticed.
Hopefully, in time, the event will draw attention to our ever-growing population. Perhaps programs will be created, awareness will be raised, and support will be provided.
Like anything, it takes time to build momentum. In this case, it will likely take a great deal of time.
That said, it's never too soon to get started, is it?
So what can those who are not caregivers do to recognize this month?
Do something positive for a caregiver! Thank them – support them – provide books and literature to educate them. Did I mention thank them?
Here are some suggestions to those who wish to recognize those that give so much of themselves to their loved ones.
1. Call them or send emails to divert their attention from their tasks and, in some cases, isolated lives.
2. Thank them with a generous gift of candy, flowers, DVD's, CD's, concert tickets, or other form of recognition/entertainment. Thank you cards are always well received.
3. Put up the holiday decorations at their house. Make it festive for Thanksgiving, Chanukah or Christmas! If the caregiver doesn't have holiday decorations, go buy some. Don't ask to come over – just do it! Don't take "no" for an answer. Make sure they know you'll be back to take everything down once the new year arrives.
4. Invite the caregiver and their loved one over for Thanksgiving. If they are too ill to travel, go to their house with a pre-made meal. If they can't accept guests, provide a meal and don't stay. The one thing you shouldn't do is avoid doing anything.
5. Come over and clean the house, especially as the holiday nears. Again, don't take "no" for an answer. Just do it. If you can send the caregiver and care recipient to the movies or a restaurant while you clean the house, that is an added bonus.
Whatever you decide to do will be appreciated. The key is to not allow yourself to be talked out of it. Caregivers are quite good at doing so.
Caregivers are silent heroes for a reason. They don't wish to bother others. Yes, we are self-made Martyrs. We suffer in silence.
If a national monthly recognition can help break that pattern, then my hat is off to our president for thinking of those of us who are too invisible to do so for ourselves.
Perhaps the proclamation to recognize caregivers is the first step in allowing us to recognize ourselves, as well.
Remember, your random act of kindness will be appreciated for a lifetime.
Want an example? See below – and thank you, Mr. President!
Presidential Proclamation — National Family Caregivers Month, 2012
- – - – - – -
Our Nation's health care professionals provide essential medical services to millions of Americans, yet they do not shoulder their responsibilities alone. Family members, friends, and neighbors devote countless hours to providing care to their relatives or loved ones. During National Family Caregivers Month, we recognize and thank the humble heroes who do so much to keep our families and communities strong.
Across America, daughters and sons balance the work of caring for aging parents with the demands of their careers and raising their own children. Spouses and partners become caregivers to the ones they love even as they navigate their own health challenges. Mothers and fathers resume care for children returning home as wounded warriors. Friends and relatives form networks to support loved ones with disabilities. All of them give selflessly to bring comfort, social engagement, and stability to those they love.
Family caregivers have an immeasurable impact on the lives of those they assist, but their hours are long and their work is hard. Many put their own lives on hold to lift up someone close to them. That is why my Administration continues to support these committed individuals through programs like the National Family Caregiver Support Program and the Lifespan Respite Care Program, and through new initiatives like the National Plan to Address Alzheimer's Disease. These efforts help caregivers access services, provide quality support, and reinforce their support through respite care options. Additionally, my Administration has pursued workplace flexibility initiatives that help caregivers balance their responsibilities to their employers with their responsibilities to their loved ones. I was also proud to sign the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act, which has helped our most seriously injured post-9/11 veterans and their family caregivers through financial support; access to health insurance, mental health services, and counseling; and comprehensive caregiver training and respite care.
National Family Caregivers Month is a time to reflect on the compassion and dedication that family caregivers embody every day. As we offer our appreciation and admiration for their difficult work, let us also extend our own offers of support to them and their loved ones.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 2012 as National Family Caregivers Month. I encourage all Americans to pay tribute to those who provide for the health and well-being of their family members, friends, and neighbors.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-seventh.

Arrived on time for 6:30 reservation. The place is packed. The hostess tells me the 6pm seating still isn't finished - what place expects people to finish ordering, eating and paying for their meals in an 1/2 hr. I tell the hostess we have theater tickets and need to be in and out quickly. Says she can seat us in 5 minutes. Time ticks away - after asking a couple more times and it is now 6:50 - we leave. I get voice message - with the hostess saying it is 6:45 and they are ready to sit us and sorry the 15 min delay. The message time stamped at 7:05 -- maybe the hostess should learn how to tell time

Have been to City lobster several times and this was my last. Had a reservation at 6:30 and had to leave my dessert behind to make it to an 8:00 show. Waited 40 minutes for our meal after an appetizer. Had to ask for a towel to wipe hands after eating lobster. Explain to waiter had a show to make and still waited forever for dessert. They brought me the bill with $20 service charge included in it. We were never asked if we wanted coffee with our dessert. This place became a version of a bad chain restaurant with poor service.

The food was good, I ordered from the holiday Pre fixe menu. I ordered the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer, the petite filet mignon with garlic shrimp as an entree (Found crab shells in the crab and lobster thing that was mixed with the bernaisse sauce), and the Creme brulee cheesecake (Delish!). My party of 4 enjoyed their food and were satisfied with their portions. I would definately return to this place. My only gripe, aside from the shells in my entree, was our waiter. He was absolutely terrible. He seemed like he was in another world, . He barely got our drink order, disappeared for 30 mins, came back for out food order, disappeared for 20 mins, sped by once to see if everything was ok, and only reappeared with the check. Our table and another table he was waiting were constantly trying to seek out our waiter and trying to get his attention. I was so disappointed in our waiter that I was contemplating changing waiters.

The food here is very good - the lobster mash potatoes are to die for and the fish dishes are delish. Our hostess was very patient as we changed tables (they crank the heat by the window tables FYI), but we were seated at a nice booth. Great menu and our meal was served in a timely manner. Cappucinno was also very good, but our waitress forgot our dessert which was delivered after we finished our coffee. It wasn't crowded, so she could have been a bit more attentive - but honestly, I would return. And - it's tastefully decorated for the holidays.

So it's restaurant week in NYC and there are so many places to visit. I am visiting the city for the first time ever with my best friend and we bumped in to this place. At first I thought the place was Red Lobster because of the name. Anywho we went inside and it was a madhouse! Packed. I mean dining room and bar. We were finally sat in the back and it was insanely warm. I was just praying that the food will at least make us forge about the heat. We were greeted by our server who had such a cute accent from Britain or Australia (I'm American, I can't tell the difference) and he was just amazing! He had such a great personality and was very welcoming. We ordered a bottle of the Pinot grigio and for that price, it was amazing wine. After some chitchat we got down to ordering our food. He suggested I try the pan roasted lobster and it was absolutely delicious! I am so glad I followed his suggestion. Our server was such a gentleman and even offered to help me with my lobster bib (I found that quite adorable) and made small talk with us. Definitely check this place out! I'm not sure how long this restaurant week deal is going on for but I will definitely visit again whenever I visit NYC again. I just hope we get the same server!

I dont know why there are so many bad reviews about this place. I work in the neighborhood and I often have lunch there. Awesome cobb salad, lobsters are cheap, wonderful service, and the location is just perfect. The only thing that I have noticed is that it can get very busy and therefore, the food takes longer to come out. Other than that, I love the place!
Posted by Gold 24 on 07/25/2009
The food are very good but the waiter served us it seems he didn't want us there. We are really dissapointed. We were dress and nice too. The waiter looked 50 years old and look like Italian or Greek. He only nice to us when he saw the good tip. Really dissapoited.

. The site it's self is a nice site, very quite, with good facilities. The location is also good as it's not to far from local amenities. overall enjoyable weekend
Excellant value for money ,quiet area with beautiful surroundings.
Lovely lodge with hot tub clean and tidy very helpful staff at golf club house.
Perfect location for us. Very quiet and peaceful.
Had a super weekend away for my dads 70th just what we wanted
Went for my honeymoon and stayed in the honey lodge was amazing week log cabin was lovely... Staff was friendly the pub food was lovely
Great break with our daughter and grandsons aged 16 and 17. No problems keeping them amused with tennis,fishing and golf driving range and 9 hole par 3 course on site.
The hot tub was excellent and big.
Accommodation was also good with the four bedrooms available.
Only adverse comment was the Lodge could do with a little upgrading with the lounge furniture but having said that it was clean comfortable and more than suited to our requirements.
The two dogs also had a great time.
What spoilt our holiday was that a ferrel cat had given birth to four kittens underneath the next door cabin.with having a dog it ment we could not sit outside in the red hot sunshine with the cabin doors open due to the kittens constantly being on our decking.by the end if our holiday pest control had removed all the kittens how ever it was to late has we left a day early due to this issue .
Would recommend to friends and family
A very pleasant quiet site .
Only stopped the 1 night would definitely recommend it and would love to stop again for a longer period
We loved the lodge. It was perfectly clean and tidy and had everything we needed. However, we would have liked to have been able to purchase essentials on site. Whilst we didn't mind the short drive into Messingham we had hoped there would have been a convenience store on site.
Our stay was extremely comfortable and enjoyable and we are making plans to stay again.
Enjoyed our stay very large lodge only bad point was cleanliness and bit old fashioned compared to other lodges stayed in other areas
Fantastic lodge, brilliant staff! Would definitely come back again.x
Well equipped cabins with hot tubs and clean water in them on arrival. Tennis,golf, fishing and more. Sunday lunch was superb. We have stayed in quite a few lodge parks now and this definitely rates as one if the best so far.
We loved every minute of it, I even put a trip advisor comment on .. The log cabins, hot tubs, decking and surroundings were outstanding ... Managed to relax all week .. Thank you

website now has secure online ordering.
Futures markets have been switching from day session pit trading to electronic markets. In my opinion the new electronic markets are harder to trade because in thinly traded parts of the 24 hour period, prices sometimes move to "incorrect" prices. When the day session starts, big traders snap prices back to reality.
This has concerned me so much I have created new special versions of
Catscan 4 and Golden SX just to trade the new electronic markets. The rest
of the website covers the regular version of Catscan 4 and the Golden SX
system. Perhaps I'm over-reacting to the new electronic markets but just
in case buyers will receive both the regular version and the new special
electronic versions of Catscan 4.and Golden SX. The electronic versions
are so new I don't
have website pages for them yet. So I've prepared special pdf reports (
just the performance numbers) for the new electronic versions.
If you want trading systems that have stood the test of time, you are at the right place. Can you name any other systems that have held up for 15 years?
Golden SX
As you know there are a lot of bad actors in the trading system business. It makes it hard to know what you are really getting. So you may want to independently check us out. The company with the most integrity is Futures Truth, Co., the trading system test people. Rest assured, none of the crooked vendors will ever suggest contacting them. Futures Truth's telephone number is (828) 697-0273. Our testing is as accurate as we can make it but it's still testing.
You might also want to check out how my systems have done in real life. Call me if you want to talk to the broker that trades for more of my customers than all the rest combined.

NEW YORK (AP) Amanda Bynes showed up to court wearing a long aqua wig for an appearance on allegations that she tossed a marijuana bong from the window of her Manhattan apartment.
The 27-year-old actress is charged with reckless endangerment and attempted tampering with physical evidence. She did not speak at a brief court appearance Tuesday.
Bynes was arrested in May after building officials called police to complain she was smoking pot in the lobby. Officers went to her apartment where they say they saw a bong sitting on the kitchen counter. Prosecutors say she tossed the bong out the window in front of the officers.
Bynes rose to fame starring in Nickelodeon's "All That." But she has been in the news more recently because of several scrapes with the law and bizarre public behavior.
Her next court date is Sept. 26.

With WWII underway, Wong has been left behind by her father, who has escaped to England. As a freshman at university, she meets fellow student Kuang Yu Min (Wang Leehom) Kuang has started a drama society to shore up patriotism.

Each student has a part to play; Wong will be Mrs. Mak, who will gain Yee's trust by befriending his wife (Joan Chen) and then draw the man into an affair. Wong transforms herself utterly inside and out, and the scenario proceeds as scripted until an unexpectedly fatal twist spurs her to flee. Shanghai, 1941. With no end in sight for the occupation, Wong having emigrated from Hong Kong goes through the motions of her existence. Much to her surprise, Kuang re-enters her life. Now part of the organized resistance, he enlists her to again become Mrs. Mak in a revival of the plot to kill Yee, who as head of the collaborationist secret service has become even more a key part of the puppet government. As Wong reprises her earlier role, and is drawn ever closer to her dangerous prey, she finds her very identity being pushed to the limit...

Read Poems by
Patricia Leonaitis
Doctor! Doctor! Come quickly-- please!
I'm afraid I have some kind of Dis--ease!
My head does ache, and I feel So cold---
But all I do is Scold! Scold! SCOLD!!!
Doctor! Doctor! What shall I do??
Can you cure my feelings--oh, so blue??
For if this keeps up, I'm gonna get my gun--
And cure this ache so I can see the Sun!
Doctor! Doctor! Save me PLEASE!
Make my body feel more at ease,
Use your shots or use those pills--
Do Something, Please! I'll pay the bill!
Doctor, My doctor!! I love you a Bunch--
But all you do is listen to me which means so Much!
A smile on your face, an expression so keen--
Sometimes I think you're just being Mean!
Then, all at once, you come sweetly to me-
You speak so warmly of love as it used to be-
You tell me how your love for me is so true,
Then there you go, humming and making me feel all New!
Oh doctor! My doctor! At last, at last!
The ache is gone!! Being married to you is such a Real Blast!
I LOVE YOU, I DO, I Do!
All I can think about is being with-------YOU!!!

Tar Heel Sound Fest urges listeners to open their ears
In 2010, N.C. State University's Emerging Issues Forum discussed the importance of creativity to the modern economy. Everyone from politicians to artists extolled the virtues of innovating by thinking outside of the usual norms – also called "the box."
This weekend, the organizers of a new music festival, Tar Heel Sound Fest, want to encourage music listeners to open their ears to different sounds.
Co-producers Josh Zaslow and Bruce Stevens have programmed a one-night festival that seeks to break down some of the barriers among styles and genres. Eighteen local bands and musicians will perform at the festival. Among the sounds represented are the Klezmer music of Gmish, the ambient sounds of White Cascade, and the jazz and improvisational music of trombonist Jeb Bishop and Crowmeat Bob.
Festival organizers have purposely "mixed up the lineup, so we don't have all one kind of music at any one club," said Zaslow. "We tried to mix it up a bit so people would be exposed to a variety of music."
Tickets also are being sold in one-, two-, or three-venue packets to encourage listeners to be adventurous. "As you go to see the band you know about, you will perhaps accidentally or on purpose give a listen to another band you haven't heard of," Zaslow said.
Trombonist Bishop's biography in many ways represents the mission of Sound Fest. Born in Raleigh, for the past 20 years he has been composing and playing music in Chicago's jazz and improvised music community. He studied classical trombone repertoire at Northwestern University but decided not to pursue an orchestra career, his website states. He also has played in various rock bands. As an improviser, he has toured North America and Europe, and worked with the ensemble Vandermark 5 and many others, as well has his own trio. He moved to Carrboro in July.
"It seems to me it's part of human nature that people have some sort of resistance at first" to improvised music, Bishop said. "One thing I've found about this music is that if you put it in front of people and do it well and show your commitment and passion about it, then people will respond to that, even if they haven't been exposed to it before."
Often, new listeners walk away with an appreciation of the beauty and skill of improvised music, he said. "The problem is getting people to take that step to expose themselves to it in the first place," Bishop said.
At Night Light, he will perform a solo improvised set. "It's a particular kind of challenge, and I enjoy doing it," he said. The most difficult challenge in going solo is that in improvised music "you are listening to and reacting to what other musicians are doing." Soloing alone is more of "a dialogue with silence" as well as the audience and the acoustics of the room, he said.
Phil Blank, who plays the accordion for the Klezmer band Gmish, also has a multi-genre background. He grew up playing in the blues and bluegrass traditions, which he still loves. Klezmer, a style rooted in the Jewish culture, offered more looseness. "There's a little less improvisation in traditional music than I'm comfortable with," Blank said. He likes Klezmer for its "heterophony [different voices playing at the same time] and improvisation." Old time music is "wonderfully powerful and tight. Klezmer is not tight. It's wonderfully wild with frayed edges," he said.
Gmish has played at The Station, Night Light, and for social occasions. Sound Fest will be the group's first festival, Blank said. He likes the genre-defying aspect to the festival, and he praised Zaslow for designing a festival that is in town, with venues that are walkable and near each other.
He plans to catch as many of the performers as he can. "A lot of these musicians know each other, which is interesting, even if they're in different genres," Blank said. Musicians are "always curious and fascinated about what their colleagues are doing."

Video: Woman Goes McBallistic After Being Refused McNuggets
Categories: WTF?
This incident occurred in Toledo, Ohio, on New Year's Day. However, the surveillance-camera footage wasn't released until now, via Eater. A McDonald's drive-thru customer, apparently unable to order McNuggets at this time of day, goes completely nuts. No sound, but rather violent. Proceed with caution.

Designed by Overland Partners Architects, the $11 million, eight-acre Plaza features landscaped grounds with native plantings, scenic promenades, and five new buildingsHOUSTON, March 8, 2010 – Houston's Hermann Park Lake Plaza has officially been awarded LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Designed by San Antonio-based Overland Partners Architects, the $11 million, eight-acre Hermann Park Lake Plaza opened in May 2009 as the threshold to the 445-acre Hermann Park, Houston's finest and most-visited public park.The Plaza features newly landscaped grounds with native plantings, new scenic promenades, and five newly-constructed buildings, including a paddle boat pavilion with a boathouse, the Hermann Park Mini-Train depot with satellite stations around the park, a public restroom facility, a café and terrace, and a volunteer and maintenance building. Also, the Plaza's new Tiffany & Co. Foundation Bridge arches across a 7.5-acre lake lagoon, offering romantic views from a newly accessible vantage point, increased connectivity within the park, and enhanced beauty of the area without disturbing the natural surroundings.
A variety of green strategies addressing site, water, energy, materials and resource conservation were incorporate in its design. For example, shed roofs were designed to produce positive airflow through breezeways to cool pedestrians in Houston's hot climate; all mature trees were saved and incorporated into the Plaza's design; and the glulam timber wood used in the buildings' construction is a renewable resource with six million trees planted daily in the United States."Each building was constructed with glued laminated timber columns and graceful curved glulam roof framing that is exposed on the interior and exterior," said Scott Adams of Overland Partners. "The natural aesthetics of the timber were appropriate for a park location yet also convey a warm, natural appearance and present a seamless integration of nature and building."Other elements that reinforce the Plaza's green commitment include the design of a public art project that integrates art by Jesse Lott, a local artist known for using found objects, and the Mary Gibbs and Jesse H. Jones Greenway, a prominent environmentally-friendly feature that collects water from the Plaza and naturally filters pollutants as it travels from the park to Houston's Buffalo Bayou. The Greenway also serves as a detention basin, holding water during heavy rainfall to help reduce flooding along the Bayou.In addition to Overland Partners Architects, Hermann Park Lake Plaza project team members include Vaughn Construction as the contractor, Walter P. Moore as the engineer, White Oak Studios as the landscape architect, and Hermann Park Conservancy and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department as the developers.ABOUT OVERLAND PARTNERSOverland Partners Architects, founded in 1985 in San Antonio, Texas, is a realization of a vision to bring together a wide range of talents in architecture and planning, in order to provide comprehensive and multi-disciplinary design service.

That's what it was like for me in Michigan. I lived there for 13 years. The winters were simply way too long for me. I don't know if or how much in my case my having grown up in the south was a factor in my eventual cabin fever and need to move away, but I remember once in mid-May looking out of the living room windows and watching it snowing and I started saying, "Don't you people see what's happening here?! This is wrong!". There were no people which is maybe a good thing and beside the point. It was depressing after 13 years. Because it's just wrong.

Use correct posture and avoid pain
Body posture is extremely essential if you happen to have a desk job. If you don't use correct posture then you could end up having severe back pains in the long run. Sometimes it could also lead to a hunchback. Here are a few ways on how to maintain good posture.
First off, bad body posture issues usually arise when you sit on a desk for hours together in an incorrect posture. Now this usually happens unknowingly and it is difficult to monitor as your body will keep shifting positions without you realizing. The first thing you could do is get a good chair for you to sit on which will help you maintain good body posture. Lots of office chairs are available which keep your back upright and don't let it bend which causes back pains.
Most posture problems occur when using a computer for long hours. When hours pass by you really wouldn't notice your body changing into an incorrect posture which will eventually lead to back pains. Now to avoid this you would need a chair which will keep your back in an upright position. If you don't happen to have one then you could use a pillow to ensure you back will remain straight. Apart from the chair you would need to get yourself an ergonomic keyboard. Ergonomic keyboards generally reduce muscle strain and reduce risk of other body posture related problems. They are usually V shape, to allow right and left hands to type at a slight angle so you really don't have to change your body posture in order to type.
If you are the type of person who happens to use laptops in bed a lot then you definitely have to get yourself a portable laptop desk. This will ensure that you sit in an upright position while using your laptop. A Jumbo lap desk is the perfect solution when it comes to using laptops or in case you need a comfortable conforming working surface. These lap desks ensure your body posture is perfect and you wouldn't have any back pains even after hours of usage. They also have pockets where you can store necessary things such as pencils, pens or pen drives. It also has a cup holder for added convenience.
So get your body used correct body posture ensure you have no more body pains.

President Obama's campaign manager Jim Messina updated Senate Democrats this afternoon on the state of the presidential race.
So what did he say?
Messina said he told the senators that Chicago is "running a grassroots campaign that talks to a bunch of people in what we expect to be a very close and competitive election."
And what does that mean for Democratic senators running for re-election?
"I've always said that if we run the kind of grassroots operation that we are in the battleground states that'll help all Democrats and I think that's what the data shows," Messina told the Alley.
Messina, who was on his way back to Chicago, said he was just in town to brief the senators at their last weekly lunch meeting before the elections.
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer said Messina's message was, "We're feeling good, but we can't get too cocky. That was the theme."

The Foxes ended a run of back-to-back defeats on Wednesday with a goalless draw to second-placed Hull at the KC Stadium.
Pearson said: "As always I don't join in with the speculation until any business is done.
"If the right players are available and we can do it then yes (we will do business). I'm not going to bring players in for the sake of it.
"We've got players who are capable of scoring goals at the club. At the moment we've not been taking our chances.
"We've created quite a few chances in the past few games and not taken them.
"If the right players are available and we can do the deals then maybe we'll do them.
"Clearly we would like to be scoring. Sometimes you have to go through spells like that. If the players keep working hard we'll come through that."

My grandmother taught me how to make this basic pastry, called pate brisee, when I was young. The one thing I learned simply by eating her endless variations on delicious tarts for dinner every night is that this dough can be used for just about anything—sweet or savory.–Jean-Georges Vongerichten
LC Grand-Mère Is Always Right Note
The moral of the above story from Jean-Georges? Grandma, er, Grand-mère is always right, perhaps most notably when it comes to making rich, buttery, flakey pastry.
Pate Brisee Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes enough for two 8-inch tarts
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, preferably cultured, cut into pieces and chilled
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening, chilled
- About 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 large egg
- 1. Mix the flour, salt, butter, and shortening on low speed in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until crumbly. With the machine running, add 2 tablespoons cold water and the egg. Beat just until the dough comes together in large clumps.
- 2. Divide the dough in half and press each portion into a 1-inch-thick round disk. Wrap each portion tightly in plastic and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. (You can refrigerate the tart dough for up to 3 days; let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before rolling. Alternatively, the dough can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before rolling.)
- 3. On a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin, roll 1 piece of dough into a 10-inch round. Carefully transfer the dough to an 8-inch round fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing the dough gently against the bottom and up the sides. Trim the edges against the side if necessary.
- 4. Line the dough with foil, then fill with dried beans or pie weights. Freeze overnight or until very hard.
- 5. To blind bake the tart shell, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 6. Bake the frozen crust until the edges are set, about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and beans. Poke holes evenly over the bottom of the crust with a fork, then return to the oven. Bake until the bottom is set and the crust is blonde, about 8 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack.

By Jake Pearson, Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) -- Pigs have long gotten a bad rap and are considered so messy and stinky that they're synonymous with slovenliness.
That stigma is perhaps no greater than in New York City, where high-rises and apartments are hardly hospitable to pigs. The city's health code forbids keeping them as pets, forcing pig owners to operate in secret -- or boldly take the risk an unhappy neighbor might squeal.
No one knows the risks more than Queens resident Danielle Forgione who is scrambling to sell her second-floor apartment after a neighbor complained about 1-year-old Petey the pig to the co-op board. In November and December she was issued city animal violations and in January was told by both the city and her management office that she needed to get rid of the pig.

Child abuse and neglect is a sad fact of life that readers of this newspaper are reminded of almost daily. There are cruel and unthinking people in our own community who put children at grave risk of injury as a result of neglect or mistreatment.
State officials investigate more than 60,000 reports of child abuse annually. This mistreatment includes physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse or psychological harm. Telltale signs of child abuse often include malnutrition, poor hygiene and unexplained bruises.
It is the responsibility of every Tennessean to report such abuse when they witness it. In fact, state law requires anyone with suspicions of child abuse to report it immediately to the state Department of Children's Services or to local law enforcement officials.
Remaining silent is never an option. It is your duty to alert law enforcement authorities and child welfare officials to possible cases of abuse or neglect, and it is their duty to investigate these cases thoroughly.
You can report child abuse any time of the day or night by calling Tennessee's child abuse hotline at 1-877-237-0004.

A new iPhone app points to the future of m-commerce.
I've never been one for futurists, but I'll go out on a limb and say that augmented reality will play an important part in the future of mobile commerce. Virtually every use of the technology I've seen thus far has at its heart been practical, though overwhelming the usefulness is the fact that it's just so cool you can't help but be drawn in. It translates to more time on site (or in app), more informed shoppers, happier shoppers, and ultimately, I believe, more sales.
Just today the Divalicious iPhone app made its debut on the m-commerce stage. It allows you to upload an image of yourself, from head to toe, so that you can place clothes from more than 300 retailers on your body to see how you would look. You can sit there and have a ball with it, creating different outfits—which is exactly what retailers want you to do. Just think of the greater buying confidence inspired by such technology compared with just looking at clothes on models on e-commerce sites. Divalicious is an app to keep an eye on.
Last month, OverstockArt.com unveiled a mobile app with a brilliant use of augmented reality. The iPhone app lets consumers walk around their house, snapping pictures of rooms in which they want to display art. The consumer then drops a piece of art from the e-retailer's selection onto a wall in a room to see exactly how it would look in her home. Once again, think of the greater purchasing confidence augmented reality technology inspires.
And in March, in a more high-tech implementation of augmented reality, coupon kingpin Valpak released an iPhone and Android app that offers real-time coupons for stores within feet of a smartphone user. A consumer opens up the app, selects Show in Live View and the camera screen appears. Linked to the phone's GPS technology, the camera shows businesses with coupons onscreen as the consumer slowly waves her smartphone up and down a street. That sure beats coupon-clipping.
I've talked in these pages before about how cool is important in mobile commerce. And as new apps like Divalicious splash onto the scene, it bears repeating: Cool counts. And augmented reality is one sure way to be cool.

"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained" – Mark Twain
So it was, standing in the perfect dark just before 6 am with over 100 others, the cool of a 45 degree morning causing every manner of clothing combination to be applied, that I found myself wondering, not for the first time, why I run long distances. It can be summed up by calling it a type of madness, one that can drive you to do seemingly irrational things in the quest for (peace? satisfaction? exhilaration? pain? all of the above?). There are degrees to the madness (some today are running 100 miles, others like myself, "only a half") but it's only apparent from within. From the outside, we should all be committed.
After months of training in weather not even remotely resembling this, we took off. Luckily, the change of weather was in our favor. For now, we basked in the coolness.
The Mark Twain Race is held in the Mark Twain National Forest near Potosi, MO. It's a 25 mile loop with about 2,500 feet of gain for each loop. The hills are runnable/walkable without them being "hands on knees" or crawlable (and I've run a few of those courses) and there are some good runnable stretches (most notably between the second and third aid stations-miles 9 through 15 on each loop). I ran it twice, some ran it four times. Here's a link to my garmin data:
The plan for the race was to do the first half in about 5 to 5 ½ hours and then make adjustments at the halfway point. My goal was not to go out blazing or push myself to the point of pain, but run according to Wu Wei– Without Effort. I had my Fuego y Agua Survival Run in a few weeks and didn't want to take myself out of that race before it began. I had also decided to run in my Altra Olympus' (NFI) for the same reason. I would normally be running in Luna Sandals (NFI- actually, that goes for every brand I mention, I don't benefit monetarily or otherwise from any of it) but with the start temperature projected to be about 45 degrees, running on numb feet was not something I wanted to do. Also, we had run the course about a month before and there were places where it was too rocky for my wimpy feet, so I went with cushioning.
"Camping" the night before (putting down the seats in the jeep and sleeping on an air mattress in the back) was something I was getting better at, and I woke up fairly refreshed in the cold dark of pre-dawn. Start time was 6 am and we all had headlamps on to start (insert video). The first few miles were S-L-O-W as over 100 people (50 and 100 milers started together) wound their way in the dark on single track in the woods. It started to open up about mile 3 and I was able to (kind of) get my pace going. About 5 miles in, we hit the first aid station. A slight pause there, and then I got out as quickly as possible to stay ahead of the packs of runners. I was using Tailwind for the first time in my water bottles, combining hydration with fueling, and that, plus the cool temps meant I didn't dally in too many aid stations for too long. In true MT style, though, all were staffed with incredible volunteers and had both the usual food you'd see, plus each team made something special (pancakes, soup, burritos, sandwiches) so I could have just run without anything and been well cared for!
The next four miles had some climb, but nothing too bad, and I hit the second aid station at about mile 9, still slower than I'd like to, but picking up pace. I had the great fortune to run with a number of people at various times and the conversations with Shane from Georgia, Shalini- doing her 1st hundred, and Lee- who I swapped jokes with for 3 miles and who tripped on exactly the same tiny root with the same foot both times I was running with him at the 18 mile mark (and again at mile 43) helped the miles flow by.
Coming out of this aid station, we had our one creek crossing and I managed to dunk one foot in. However, I was dry within a mile and never had issues. I used Run Goo on my feet under my socks and for the first time (I think ever) had no blisters. Coming out of that aid station, there was a bit of climbing (about 200 ft in the next mile), but then you could really fly (relatively speaking). I started to get closer to my goal of 5-5 ½ hrs and rolled into the 3rd aid station at mile 15 feeling good.
Into the final aid station at mile 20, I hung out for a bit and spoke with some of the volunteers, then it was a nice easy run back to the start/finish. Right before the end, I caught up with Shalini, and we ran the last few miles into the start/finish area together. First lap done in 5:34, so close to what I wanted to do. I then messed around with my drop bag and it was Shalini shouting at me to get going that got me motoring out of there. I had spent about 7-8 minutes in the area, so knew we needed to move. I felt really good at this point, so good that I started worrying I was missing something. Oh well, back out into the wild…
Lap two started much more quickly. Running on and off with Shalini and other runners, I soon started passing people. Again, feeling really good but wondering if it was all going to come crashing down at some point. I made it into the first two aid stations more quickly than the first loop (no conga lines this time and it was light out). For some reason the 4 miles between aid station 1 and 2 seemed long, so I decided to pull out the Ipod and listen to the Ricky Gervais podcast I had downloaded. The thought was that music can distract me, but to be truly distracted, I'd rather be laughing hysterically. It worked because the next 6 miles between aid stations 2 and 3 (miles 34 to 40) went by in a flash. At the beginning, I thought this would be the crucial part of my race: Where I would start to feel doubts creep in, I'd start hurting and would entertain thoughts best left unthought. Never happened.
I caught Lee again at our usual place and as he prepared himself to trip on the root, we passed two runners. Once past them, they started to keep pace with us and I started to get nervous. We were about 7 miles from the finish- I don't like to get passed in the last 10 miles if I can help it, so I decided to push it. I sped up, leaving Lee to his unerring pace and caught up with another 100 miler. I ran with her for a while and then started to hear the two other runners behind us. My quads were starting to tighten up and I still had over 5 miles to go. This could get ugly…
As we ran into a descent, I decided I had two choices: keep running steadily (but slowly) and hope my quads didn't lock up, or let them run free and risk tripping on a root or rock (Not sure if I was getting my feet up as high as I could, so tripping was more than a possibility). I decided to risk it and picked up the pace. What felt like flying was really 12(ish) minute miles, but I was nearing the end, so that's what I had. I caught 3 more runners about 3/4 of a mile from the finish line and inched past them to finish 10th overall in 11:13. As close to an even split as I've ever run and only 3 1/2 hours behind the winner. :)
Overall, a great course and great support! The runners on the course really helped pass the time and the aid station volunteers were the best I've ever experienced.
Next is the survival run. Madness is growing…

Faculty survey to measure success of Sloan grant
In 2006, Lehigh was one of five universities nationwide to receive a $250,000 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Faculty Career Flexibility to create a more flexible workplace to attract and keep the best faculty.
The grant was awarded in recognition of Lehigh's achievements for unique, innovative and promising practices in career flexibility.
The Lehigh University Faculty Survey
, conducted in April-May 2006 as part of Lehigh's application for the Alfred P. Sloan Award, was to determine faculty perceptions on Lehigh policies on career flexibility and departmental/administrative support. The survey also determined the percentage of those who utilized these policies and faculty job satisfaction.
On Monday, September 29, the American Council on Education will conduct a follow-up survey to the initial 2006 survey. The survey, which will run through the end of November 2008, will measure faculty perceptions; familiarity and satisfaction concerning work/life balance issues; and overall success of the programs and policies at Lehigh that address work/life balance. Faculty participation is voluntary but vital to the success of the assessment.
Lehigh makes significant effort towards work/life balance issues
For the past two years, Lehigh University has made significant efforts to help faculty members to address work/life issues such as parenthood, family and personal illness, and dual-career couples.
Each year, faculty members were mailed a copy of the
Work and Life brochure
. In addition, the Lehigh Sloan Program Advisory Committee was formed in fall 2006 to devise new programs and policies to address these issues. The committee has a representative from each of the colleges and has worked together with the provost and deans to develop a number of initiatives including:
• The Faculty Dual-Career Assistance program, in partnership with the Lehigh University Alumni Association, to assist the partners/spouses of faculty members in their job searches within the region;
• University-wide Faculty Dual-Career Hiring guidelines;
• Research grants to help untenured, tenure-track faculty members sustain research productivity when they take a Family and Medical Leave to care for a newborn or adopted child or other family member;
• Lehigh's membership in the newly expanded New Jersey/Eastern PA/ Delaware Higher Education Recruitment Consortium (HERC), which, among other things, maintains a Web site with a dual-job search function for prospective faculty members and their partners/spouses looking to relocate to the Lehigh Valley and the surrounding regions;
• Leadership of discussions at Lehigh regarding tenure-clock extensions to create more flexibility within the probationary period without affecting the university's high tenure standards.
For more information on the upcoming faculty survey, the Lehigh Sloan program, the Sloan Advisory Committee or its programs and initiatives, please visit the
Work/Life Balance Web site
