Sofra we meet again & Summer Reading
On a completely unrelated note, the other day while running errands Downtown, I popped into Borders remembering I had a gift certificate! Given to me as a birthday present back in February, I happily put it towards the purchase of summer reading.The only questions remains - which one to read first?The book that is all the buzz because it was recently made in to a major motion picture starting Reese Witherspoon and Edward Pattinson? Water for Elephants is a movie I really want to see, but I think I'd rather read the book first. Or the book everyone already read last summer or the summer before that? I figure I might as well see what all the fuss over The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is about. Or the one that caught my eye at the last second, a memoir by Piper Kerman who spent a year in prison after she was busted delivering a suitcase full of drug money? Orange Is the New Black should prove an eye opening read.
Have you read any of these books? Which one should I read first?

I'm glad you finally used the gift certificate! I have tried to read the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo so many times but cannot get into it!

I need to start a summer reading list! And I love buying Sofra stuff at the farmer's market. I am getting excited for summer Friday lunches!

The colors alone look amazing! For books, I LOVED Water for Elephants - Have not seen the movie and not sure I will. Basically I was sad it was over and could totally read it again.
I have also read the dragon tattoo trilogy. You need to push through the first 100 pages and then you are set. They are really good books, but def mark the page with the family tree - I had trouble keeping track of everyone.

ugh, don't worry - your blog doesn't make me miss Boston or anything.
I love beets, anything with that much color HAS to be good for you.

I am a big bookworm! I try to read one book a month but lately have been breezing through things and going through 2-3 books a month! I read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy (love it, highly recommend) but I have to warn you that you might get hooked, then you'll stay up till 2:30 am reading the first book, then the second, then the third, then you end up with eyebags for staying up so late (or maybe that's just me). I also read Water for Elephants a few years ago and loved it, but still haven't seen the movie. And I want to read Orange is the New Black too!

LOVE Sofra and Oleana. Everything Ana Sortun does is fabulous. I love the beet tzatziki but I haven't tried the muhammara yet. Looks delicious!

orange is the new black sounds so intriging! water for elephants is amazing- i suggest that one first. the girl with the dragon tattoo is a trilogy, so you may get sucked in to read all 3!
- May 18, 2011 at 11:21 AM
Paper Books??? Get a Kindle or a Nook.

- Ameena said...
I really wanted to like "Water for Elephants." I picked it up about a year ago and I'm still not finished with the third chapter. It is just...confusing! I don't know, I don't have this problem often so maybe it's just me?
As far as the Anon comment above me, there is nothing like a real book. I will never get a Kindle or Nook! No matter how much my husband waxes on about it... :)

the baklava looks divine, scrumptious

I haven't read any of those books, but I've heard from many people that "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is incredible, despite a slow start.
- May 18, 2011 at 12:48 PM
- Megan said...
Love Sofra! The chocolate-hazelnut baklava is my favorite. This reminds me we need to plan dinner at Oleana.
Read the other 2 books before you read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo... once you get into it, you won't be able to put it down, and you'll immediately be sucked into reading the next 2 in the series.
Also, I'm thinking of picking up Water for Elephants too! Heard it was really good.
Oh, and to that anonymous person above: I love paper books. I really can't see myself ever using a Nook or Kindle as long as there are paper books out there!

Heather and I went to a dessert cooking class at Sofra this winter. We made and sampled sesame cashew bars and Syrian shortbread, along with lots of other tasty treats. Highly recommend it when their classes come back next year!

Yum! All that food looks delish! As for the books...I have heard that the "girl with the dragon tattoo" series is amazing!!!! {like can't-put-it-down, stay-up-till-3am-just-to- finish-it amazing!}

LOVE The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and the following book, The Girl Who Played With Fire. I have the final book in the series but haven't had time to pick it up yet.
My roommate just finished Water for Elephants and said it was great... so it looks like you are going to have a tough choice!
I'm currently reading the third book in The Hunger Games series and LOVING it.

I loved the girl with the dragon tattoo!!! It was very exciting throughout and the main character was such a bad ass! I have been looking forward to water for elephants for ages now. Heard it's amazing. Happy reading! :)

that bright pink spread sounds yum and I love the color. Oh and the deserts are making me so hungry. As for the books, I just finished Water for Elephants (because I wanted to see the film but needed to read the book first) and loved it. It was a quick read for me as I could not put it down. Ive also read the Girl with the Dragon tattoo awhile ago and thats another one that was hard to put down. Once I finished it I had to go out and get the rest if the series and then watch all of the Swedish films.

Water for Elephants! One of my ALL TIME favorites. Have yet to hear of someone who didn't become enchanted by it.

I actually didn't love the girl with the dragon tatoo although I'm definitely the minority there - I haven't seen "orange is the new black" but now I'm intrigued!
- May 18, 2011 at 8:17 PM
- Corinne said...
JUST finished The Girl with The Dragon Tatoo. It takes a while to get into but once it gets going, watch out! Such a page turner, you will be done in a day. Especially if you are raeding on a plane :)
- May 19, 2011 at 4:11 PM
- Alicia said...
I loved the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - I agree that it takes about 50-75 pages to get into it, but then you can't put it down. I'd save this one for last -- since you're going to want to read the other two in the series when you're done with this one -- and I wouldn't want you to miss those other books!
- May 19, 2011 at 9:58 PM
- Jen said...
I haven't read any of those books, but I'm dying to!
Is it weird that the top few pics reminded me of Gak?
- May 19, 2011 at 11:04 PM
- Kerstin said...
Fun post! I think I'm the only one that didn't love Water for Elephants - I just thought it was ok. The Dragon series is awesome though, although slow to start. I'm adding Orange is the new Black to my list :)

One thing that should be noted about General Norman Schwarzkopf's role in the 1991 war with Iraq that has generally been overlooked: He was against the war, called Operation Desert Storm, before he was for it.
That seems to have been forgotten. or at least unmentioned, in the glowing tributes to Schwarzkopf, the top allied commander in that war, whose passing last week at the age of 78 was among the latest deaths of famous Americans in the year just ended. To be sure, the general got on board with the commander-in-chief once President George H. W. Bush made it clear that he would wait no longer for the forces of Saddam Hussein to "get out of Dodge" by vacating the occupied nation of Kuwait. But initially he had indicated that he would have preferred to give the economic sanctions imposed on Iraq more time to work rather than launch prematurely a military action that would "kill a whole bunch of people."
We tend to remember Desert Storm kindly because it was wildly successful, mercifully, and resulted in a remarkably small number of U.S. and allied casualties. But it did kill a "whole bunch of people" in Iraq and Kuwait and, as is so often the case with wars, it planted the seeds for the much longer and more costly war that began a dozen years later under the second President Bush. For as surely as the terms of peace imposed at the end of World War I set the stage for World War II, so did the famous victory of Bush War I under George H. W. Bush lead not only to the presidency of one William Jefferson Clinton, but also to Bush War II under George W. Bush, who was determined to drive Saddam Hussein not out of Kuwait —that had been accomplished ("Thanks, Dad") — but out of Iraq itself. The younger Bush changed American policy in the Middle East and, indeed, the rest of the world with the "Bush doctrine," leading to what he would later call the "catastrophic success" in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The Bulletin Board keeps you abreast of the latest news
around the NHL Monday-Friday.
- On Saturday, Vancouver and Florida completed the first
big trade of the season. The Canucks
sent Mikael Samuelsson and Marco Sturm to the Panthers for David Booth, Steve
Reinprecht and a third-round pick. Booth, 26, has been a 30-goal scorer but injuries have derailed his
career. If Booth returns to form, he
could become a terrific wing for Ryan Kesler on Vancouver's second line. Florida is an extremely young team with
plenty of cap space, so why the Panthers made this move is puzzling. Perhaps the team feels that Booth will never
be the same, but at just 26-years-old it may have been too early to give up on
him. Both Samuelsson and Sturm have expiring
contracts, so perhaps Florida is hoping to make a big run at one of next summer's
free agents, but the Panthers have never been a popular free agent destination.
- Yesterday Phoenix traded Petteri
Nokelainen and Garrett Stafford to Montreal for Brock Trotter and a seventh-round
- Washington crushed Detroit 7-1 on Saturday night and is the
team to beat in the NHL right now. The
Red Wings had yielded
seven goals in their previous five games before the Capitals destroyed
- The Columbus Blue Jackets were in line to pick up their first
win of the season on Saturday when they led the Ottawa Senators 3-2 with under
a minute left in regulation. But in true
Columbus fashion, the Jackets allowed
two goals in 31 seconds to blow the game and drop to 0-7-1 on the season.
- Los Angeles goalie Jonathan Quick picked
up his third consecutive shutout on Saturday and hasn't allowed a goal in
his last 188:10 of action. Quick has
given up just five goals in six games this season.
- Check out this
save by Phoenix goalie Mike Smith on Anaheim's Bobby Ryan.
- New Jersey Devils' center Jacob Josefson suffered a broken clavicle
and will miss
the next three-to-four months. The
Devils' recalled
Adam Henrique from Albany to replace him.
- Pittsburgh defenseman Zbynek Michalek will miss
the next month of action with a broken finger.
- Montreal center Scott Gomez will
miss a week with an upper-body injury.
- Joe Thornton played in his 1,000th career game on Friday.
- Nicklas Lidstrom played his 1,500th
career game on Saturday.
- The Winnipeg Jets reassigned 2011 first-round pick Mark Scheifele to the
Barrie Colts of the OHL. Scheifele
was dynamic in the preseason but needs a bit more time to mature physically.
- Check out this list
of NHL stars that haven't scored yet this season. Ryan Getzlaf net his first two goals of the year
last night.
- There are two other games on the schedule
tonight beside New York @ Winnipeg. The surprising Maple Leafs will look to continue their early season run
against Philadelphia and the hapless Canadiens will play host to the new-look
Florida Panthers.

The sophomore won a 6-2 decision over Pope's T.J. Collins to win the AAAAA 145-pound championship and give Cambridge the points it needed to clinch its first state wrestling team title and first state crown of any kind in the school's two-year history.
A transfer from Metea Valley High School in Aurora, Ill., where he was one of the top-ranked wrestlers in his weight class in Illinois as a freshman last year, Kane made an immediate impact at Cambridge this season with a 57-3 dual meet record and 40 pins.
"Devin wrestles a tough, hard-nosed style of wrestling and he's physical and that's something we lacked," Cambridge coach Don St. James said. "We lacked that physicalness and we've become a little more physical and that's helped us. Devin puts constant pressure on everybody he wrestles and put in extra time to accomplish his goals."

Inexpensive and easy to install, for a little time and money you can improve your car's appearance and aerodynamics.
- Factory high-performance style
- Improves aerodynamics
- Made from Fibre-reinforced plastic
- Available painted and unpainted
- Installs easily with screws and gaskets
- Comes with everything required for installation
- 90-day warranty
At high speed, a rear spoiler can provide downforce, prevent airflow separation, and reduce drag and instability. Most people never drive their cars fast enough to get these benefits, but the appearance of the spoiler on the trunk lid implies the car's capability. That's why a rear spoiler is usually found on factory performance cars, it gives the impression of speed even when the car's parked.
This spoiler is made from high quality material such as Fibre-reinforced plastic. It's secured with screws and gaskets, depending on application. All necessary mounting hardware and comprehensive instructions are included.
And although it can be ordered unpainted, we strongly encourage you to select the painted option. Our computerized paint mixing system enables us to guarantee that your spoiler will match your factory paint, and it's unlikely that a local body shop will be able to paint your spoiler for less than the price difference.146.93 263.83

The PowerShot A1300 digital camera gives you a choice that's getting increasingly hard to find
on digital cameras today. It's equipped with an Optical Viewfinder in addition to the LCD screen.
Many photographers prefer this classic, familiar option that lets you simply hold the camera to
your eye and shoot.
The camera's big, bright LCD screen gives you a wealth of important information about the shot.
However, using it to compose and focus requires that you hold the camera away from your body.
Many people do this with one hand, arms away from the body, effectively creating camera shake
that can distort a shot. Using the Optical Viewfinder helps ensure that the camera is held steady.
The great thing is that from shot to shot, whether you use the Optical Viewfinder or LCD screen is
your choice.

Meth is a Helluva Drug!
by Crowley
posted Dec 14 2011 4:45PM
Dateline Tuesday December 13th 2011 - Bay Saint Louis Mississippi - Meet 49 year old Mark Andrew Rice. Mark was a truck driver and over the years of driving certain routes, Mark met a prostitute named Natasha Carpenter. In time, the two fell in love and THEN, in September of 2009 Mark bought the pro an engagement ring and asked her to marry him. She, of course, said yes.
The two love birds were on one of Mark's Truck routes that took him to Barstow California and as part of their "engagement celebration" the newly engaged Natasha agreed to some special engagement sex. What is special engagement sex, you ask? If you're Mark it means you get to tie up Natasha's arms and legs and put a gag in her mouth as Mark acted out a fantasy.
Apparently, that didn't end up going so well...because Natasha suffocated and died. So what does Mark do? What any guy in that situation would do - he panics, and then buys "all the meth his dealer had" and drove to Kiln, Mississippi with Natasha's body in the truck's cab under a tarp. Mark then set fire to the truck with himself and the body inside. I guess he had planned to kill himself but police pulled him from the burning truck.
At his hearing yesterday Mark said, "I had been up for days. I was not thinking clearly." Mark was sentenced to 6 years for arson and desecration of a body and he was also ordered to pay Natasha's family about $4,100 for the cost of her funeral.
That is your rock life story for today, Wednesday December 14th 2011

Also even though Japan is a warrior culture it's history of war pales in comparison to China or even Korea.
And how many times has Nihon-koku (Japan, for silva) kicked China and Korea's ass. In the 30's, a massive Japanese invasion conquered a rather large portion of China. So much so that the United States cut off oil supply to Japan and sent fighter aircraft and trained pilots to China. Also, flags:

Knicks looking to add another?
Our moles in the D-League have informed us that the Knicks have been heavily scouting shot-blocker Courtney Sims, who played with Demetris Nichols with the Iowa Energy and have been for some time.
Sims had a cup of coffee with the Phoenix Suns earlier this year.
We've talked about Sims at length, and even had a report from a fellow Gym Rat from one of his games earlier this year.
The Knicks currently have 14 players on their roster, including Cuttino Mobley. The team may be thinking that with it's playoff hopes nearly non-existent, and the strong chance that Danilo Gallinari will miss the rest of the season, they may want to start evaluating players for the future.
Sims has been destroying the D-League lately, and just 10 days ago had a 25 point, 15 rebound and 5 block performance, but he had little to no impact in Phoenix. He's not physically ready for the NBA.
Not sure if the Knicks are ready to make an offer, but it could come soon.

Porsche Museum celebrates F.A. Porsche and the PCA raffle 911T
All images courtesy Porsche AG.
The Porsche Museum has been paying tribute to Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the father of the iconic 911 and the purist 904 Carrera GTS, who died on April 5. Their special exhibit, which was opened by Dr. Wolfgang Porsche on June 1, honors his work, and also offers a rare glimpse into his life. The Museum notes:
Right from his early childhood, F.A. Porsche was fascinated by cars, spending a great deal of time in the engineering offices and development workshops of his grandfather, Ferdinand Porsche. Later, in addition to his family, he dedicated himself passionately to hunting and nature as well as photography. This means that, for the first time, visitors will get to see personal belongings and private photographs from the Porsche family collection. These include his hiking equipment, a selection from his collection of pipes, watches and cameras as well as a home-made sled he designed for his children.
In addition to the numerous personal small exhibits, the Porsche Museum is also putting two of his personal cars on show: the first Porsche 904 Carrera GTS and the 911 Carrera 3.2 with special interior. He enjoyed frequent drives in both vehicles throughout his life. The special exhibition also presents his creative period in the engineering office and in the "Porsche Design Studio" which he relocated to Zell am See two years after it was founded. On view, for example, are classic gentleman's accessories such as watches, spectacles and writing implements bearing the unmistakable F.A. Porsche signature and which became familiar around the world under the "Porsche Design" brand he established.
The special exhibition in memory of Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche can be seen until September 9, 2012. Visitors can make an entry in a book of condolence that will be presented to the Porsche family when the exhibition is over.
And on the subject of 911s, regular readers of our Blog may recall the US-spec 1973 911 T that was treated to a ground-up nut-and-bolt restoration by the skilled technicians in Porsche's own Classic Workshop, as a collaborative project with Porsche Club Coordination and the Porsche Club of America.
This 2.4-liter, 140hp 911, which was won in the PCA raffle by club member Bud Kibbee, is starring in the Porsche Museum's special "60 Years of Porsche Clubs" display. This exhibit traces Porsche club activity back to the May 26, 1952, founding, by 13 enthusiasts, of the Porsche Club Hohensyburg in Westphalia, Germany.
"Today, the 640 officially recognised Porsche Clubs with their approximately 181,000 members from more than 75 countries constitute the world's largest automotive sector brand club," the website notes.
This exhibit will be maintained through August 26. If you're traveling through Stuttgart, the Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Regular admission is €8 for adults, but Porsche Club members from around the globe will be admitted free to the Porsche Museum, upon presenting their club ID cards at the ticket counter.
Professor Porsche's work will continue to be celebrated in the Porsche Museum in an upcoming special exhibit this fall:
November 13, 2012, to February 3, 2013: Design by F. A. Porsche – 40 Years of Porsche Product Design.
The Porsche Design Studio was established in Stuttgart in 1972 by Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, grandson of the Porsche founder and designer of the Porsche 911. It was relocated to Zell am See, Austria, in 1974. In the decades that followed, numerous classic men's accessories such as watches, eyeglasses, and writing utensils were created and marketed worldwide under the "Porsche Design" brand. At the same time, a large number of industrial products, household appliances, and consumer goods were designed under the "Design by F.A. Porsche" brand for internationally known clients. More information will follow soon.

A 2011 misclassification of Samaritan Medical Center's medical residency program has resulted in the loss of $250,000 in Medicare reimbursement, according to hospital spokeswoman Krista A. Kittle.
U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., made it clear Tuesday during a Senate Finance Committee hearing on the nomination of Marilyn Tavenner to be administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that resolution of the issue is a top priority.
"For him to bring it up in a nomination hearing is pretty significant," said Meredith C. Kelly, Mr. Schumer's press secretary. "Unfortunately, it's not a standard issue. I'm sure there's some procedural issues on CMS's end. This is kind of an unusual situation."
Ms. Kittle said the misclassification is based on the hospital's bed count of 246.
"We were misclassified for falling into a different category than what we are," she said. "Our classification should not have changed."
According to a news release from Mr. Schumer's office, Samaritan was misclassified as not rural, and therefore lost Medicare reimbursement for more than three residency slots. Ms. Kittle said Samaritan's attempts since 2011 to change the ruling have been unsuccessful, so the hospital sought help from elected officials to intervene on its behalf.
Since the misclassification, a CMS error, Samaritan has had to cover the $250,000 reimbursement loss.
"A quarter of a million dollars is a lot to a hospital," Ms. Kittle said. "Right now, we have 7� residents in the program which were funded for. We actually have 12 here. That's 4� residents we have to fund ourselves. Before this misclassification, we were funded for 10. We funded the two extra residents because this program is so critical to this community."
Ms. Kittle said the hospital has retained several physicians in the community based on the medical education program. Two of them are family practice physician Benjamin Rudd and general surgeon Deborah Norris. The residency program is for a variety of specialities, but primarily focuses on family practice and internal medicine because primary care physicians are a top recruitment priority.
According to the news release, in the nomination hearing for Ms. Tavenner, Mr. Schumer said: "Samaritan Medical Center in Jefferson County has the extraordinary responsibility of providing top-notch care for Fort Drum's military community and civilians alike, and the federal government must give it all the resources possible to be successful. I am urging the federal government and CMS to work with Samaritan Medical Center to resolve this misclassification that could rob them of three life-saving residency slots, so that this hospital can continue to provide quality health care in Jefferson County."
Mr. Schumer said CMS staff at one point said there is "no method of appeal for a wrong decision and the hospital must absorb the cuts," according to the news release.
Ms. Kelly said Mr. Schumer's staff will continue to work on the issue, and will "certainly hope to move forward as quickly as possible."
Samaritan's medical education program, which began in 1998, is the only such program within 70 miles.

I got the walnut color and I love it. Just wish it was a tiny bit bigger. It's my second sak purse and I will definitely get another. Check at a retail store first and purchased through the website saved about half price.
Tuesday February 17 2015
I just love SAK products. The color of this demi was pink with pink stripe, which I love, but it was too wild for me as a purse. Also, I needed a bigger purse with more room. Perhaps the hobo? I decided to send it back and get a more neutral color in a bigger style.
Tuesday February 10 2015
I love my new bag. The leather is very soft and the interior is beautiful. It hangs just right. This is not my first Sak and it won't be my last!

A general partnership is a fast and simple way to start a business. A partnership can register its business name by filing a DBA ("doing business as"). This allows you to open a bank account and officially conduct business under the name of the partnership.
Alternatively, many business owners choose to conduct business though an LLC or corporation, which has the added benefit of personal liability protection.

WANG'S HUMBLE BRUSH WITH OSCARBest Documentary Short goes to film on Smile Train
Yesterday's positive step for the Lighthouse was not even the best news Charles Wang had received this week. At the Academy Awards on Sunday, the winner of Best Documentary Short was Smile Pinki. The film, directed by Megan Mylan, follows the story of an 8-year old girl from India who was born with a cleft lip and palate. Her life is transformed thanks to Smile Train, the world's largest charitable organization that provides cleft surgeries.
Wang is the Co-founder and Chairman of Smile Train. To watch the movie trailer and learn more about the charity, visit the Smile Train website. Yesterday at Hempstead Town Hall, Wang told reporters when asked about the success of Smile Pinki, "Nothing is better than that, because it helps our children."

You probably have not heard the news—and if the popular media has anything to do with it, you won't hear about it. From February 27 to March 2, 2006, a telephone survey was conducted by Zogby International that showed Americans overwhelmingly supported teaching scientific challenges to Darwinian evolution. The secular media has not only buried the story, most media outlets have not informed the public at all about this latest poll. Casey Luskin, who works with the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture noted: "This poll shows widespread support for the idea that when biology teachers teach Darwin's theory of evolution they should present the scientific evidence that supports it as well as the evidence against it" (Crowther, 2006).
The telephone survey was conducted with a random sample of 1,004 individuals, who were selected from national telephone listings. The results of the survey indicate that Americans want biology teachers to teach, not only evolution, but also the problems with the evolutionary theory. Sixty-nine percent of those questioned indicated that "biology teachers should teach Darwin's theory of evolution, but also the scientific evidence against it" ("Results from...," 2006). Only 21% of individuals surveyed believed that only Darwin's theory of evolution should be taught. This means that by a factor of more than three to one, voters believe biology teachers should teach Darwin's theory of evolution, but also the scientific evidence against it.
Additionally, 77% of individuals surveyed agreed with the following statement: "When Darwin's theory of evolution is taught in school, students should also be able to learn about scientific evidence that points to an intelligent design of life" ("Results from...," 2006). Only 19% of those surveyed disagreed with that statement. This means three-fourths of those surveyed believed that students should be exposed to the concept of intelligent design along with evolution. And yet, courtrooms are refusing to allow this to happen.
In Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg address he concluded by noting: "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" (emp. added). The people have clearly spoken. The survey results make it absolutely clear. Unfortunately, the concepts of naturalism, materialism, and atheism are having a greater impact than the voice of the majority of people.
Intelligent design writer Jonathan Witt recently interviewed David Berlinski, a mathematician who received his Ph.D. from Princeton, on the attitudes and direction of those in the scientific community. The first question he asked was, "Why do you think the debate about Darwin's theory of evolution has taken on such a nasty turn?" Berlinski's response: "[Y]ou raise a good question. Why are Darwinian biologists so outraged? Like the San Andreas fault, the indignation conspicuous at blogs such as The Panda's Thumb or Talk Reason is now visible from outer space. There is a lot at stake, obviously. Money, prestige, power, influence—they all play a role" (Witt, 2006, emp. added). How tragic that the American people have spoken and yet the media remains mute in communicating the majority opinion.

Between 75 and 90 percent of teenagers in the United States use the Internet to email, instant message (IM), visit chat rooms and explore other web sites. According to the research published by the American Psychological Association, spending a lot of time on the Web can have both negative and positive effects on young people.
"A major goal for this cumulation of research is to show the good and bad sides of the Internet as it relates to children," said coeditors of the special issue Patricia Greenfield of the Children's Digital Media Center at UCLA and Zheng Yan of the State University of New York at Albany.
To understand the role the Internet plays in linking marginalized adolescents and spreading potentially damaging behaviors, Cornell University researchers Janis L. Whitlock, Jane L. Powers and John Eckenrode explored the role Internet message boards play in creating communities centered around self-injurious practices. Self-injurious behavior typically refers to a variety of behaviors in which the individual purposefully inflicts harm to his or her body without the obvious intent of committing suicide. The authors observed 406 message boards to investigate how adolescents solicit and share information related to self-injurious behavior. Females 14-20 years of age visited these bulletin boards the most.
The findings show that online interactions provide essential social support for otherwise isolated adolescents, but these online boards may also normalize and encourage self-injurious behavior and add potentially lethal behaviors to the repertoire of established adolescent self-injurers and those exploring identity options, said lead author Whitlock.
The authors also found that message boards provide a powerful vehicle for bringing together self-injurious adolescents.
The Internet can also be a good educational tool for hard-to-reach populations. Researchers from Michigan State University examined the positive effects of home Internet access on the academic performance of low-income, mostly African American children and teenagers in a recent release. In this research, 140 children ages 10 to 18 (83 percent African American and 58 percent male) living in single-parent households (75 percent of the group) with a $15,000 or less median income were followed for a two-year period to see whether home Internet use would influence academic achievement.
The children who participated in the project were online for an average of 30 minutes a day. Findings indicate that children who used the Internet more had higher standardized test scores in reading and higher grade point averages (GPAs) at one year and at 16 months after the project began compared to children who used the Internet less, said lead author Linda Jackson. Internet use had no effect on standardized test scores in math.
In another article showing the positive effects of Internet use, researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Ghana looked at the benefits of teens using the Internet for health information in the developing world, where access to health information is scarce. The study surveyed 778 15 to 18-year-olds living in Accra, Ghana, who were either in school or out of school on their Internet usage and knowledge of health information. Two thirds (66 percent) of the youth who were in school and around half (54 percent) of the youth who were out of school had gone online previously.
The authors found that regardless of these users' school status, gender, age or ethnicity, 53 percent went online to find health information. In fact, the Internet was even a relatively more important source for out-of-school than for in-school youth, a finding with important social implications. Youths said the Internet provided interesting material that helped them solve a problem or answer a question. The most common topics searched on the Internet for in-school youth were sexually transmitted diseases, diet/nutrition and fitness and exercise. For the out-of-school youth, sexually transmitted diseases, sexual activities and sexual abuse were the topics of choice.
"Out-of-school youth in Ghana may have parents with less formal education than the in-school youth, and this may inhibit certain discussions around sex and health," said lead author Dina L. G. Borzekowski. "With HIV/AIDs rampant in Africa, our finding has tremendous public health implications. The Internet may be an increasingly effective way to reach lower socioeconomic youth with prevention messages." Furthermore, the Internet is invaluable for adolescents who want to find out more about personal, sensitive and embarrassing issues related to their bodies, relationships and health, she added.

Ways and Means co-chair: It's time for legal pot in Oregon
SALEM, Ore. – A powerful Oregon state lawmaker says it's time for the Oregon legislature to take action on marijuana.
If a November ballot measure in California passes, he says he'd like to introduce legislation that would out-and-out legalize pot for adult consumption in Oregon.
This comes as California is getting ready to vote on legalization in November. If that bill, Proposition 19, passes – or if it only fails by a small margin – then the co-chair of Oregon's Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Peter Buckley, says it's time to have the discussion here.
Buckley's proposed "Oregon Cannabis Revenue Act" would take that one step further. It would allow marijuana sales in state-run stores and would create a group similar to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, called the Oregon Cannabis Control Commission, to oversee how pot is grown and sold. Licensed growers then would be allowed to sell the drug commercially.
The debate
Buckley, a Democrat from Ashland, believes this legalization could raise tens of millions of dollars a year for a state struggling under across-the-board budget cuts. (Read more on his plan in the Ashland Daily Tidings.)
"We've tried prohibition for decades now, and we're paying the cost for it," Buckley tells us by phone. "Here in Southern Oregon we're paying the cost of having the actual drug cartels using our federal forestland as mini-plantations for their crops. Things have to change in some way."
Duane Fletchall, a retired narcotics officer in Oregon, is not so sure that legalization is the way to make that change, however.
"I don't care what anybody says – its not like alcohol – you can't control it," Fletchall said. "You're going to have people growing it. You're going to have drug cartels even getting bigger in Oregon and across the nation."
This former Marion County sheriff's sergeant says legalization of marijuana would pit the state against drug cartels, and there would be even "more" bloodshed over who controls the pot market. He also said that legalizing marijuana will make it an ever big problem for enforcement agents.
An Associated Press field poll of California voters released Sunday shows majority support for marijuana's legalization. The poll found 49 percent in favor of the measure, and 42 percent opposed. Its legalization is in Proposition 19, which goes in front of voters Nov. 2.
This California proposition would let adults 21 and older possess up to an ounce of marijuana for personal use and grow gardens up to 25 square feet. It also would allow cities and governments to decide for themselves whether to tax and allow pot sales.

The truth about vaccinations
Shortly after Kimberly Haslett's son was given his MMR vaccination, he became sick and stopped talking. Later he was diagnosed as autistic.
Reporter: Corinne Hautala
Web Producer: Chuck Meyer
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) – It's a growing debate. Do you vaccinate your child or not? Is there a link between vaccines and autism? 9OYS spoke with both sides of the debate.
Kimberly Haslett sat down with 9OYS to share her story and to explain why she believes a childhood vaccination caused her son to develop autism.
Haslett explained her son, Jet, was born a healthy baby. She points to photos to illustrate the fact that he was always happy and loved to smile.
"Always laughing, just a normal typical child," Haslett said reflecting on Jet's first years of life.
She explained her son was walking and talking, "right on schedule," she stated, "he was just perfect."
At 17-months, Haslett took her son to get his measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
"He got his MMR shot and he changed overnight," she explained.
Haslett recalls four hours after the vaccine; her son ran a fever and was extremely cranky. She shared with 9OYS photos of Jet after the vaccine. Pointing to his eyes and said it was like, "the lights went out."
"He never spoke another word after that day for three years," she said.
A year later, Jet was diagnosed with Autism. Haslett said she was in denial, which is why she said it took so long for him to be tested and ultimately diagnosed.
"I'm one of millions and we're not all wrong," said Haslett, "I know what caused my son's autism."
There are thousands of blogs and websites online of parents sharing stories similar to Haslett's.
9OYS asked Haslett, how she felt about doctor's refuting a link between vaccination and autism.
"They're lying. They're absolutely lying," she responded.
Dr. Rodrigo Villar, a pediatric hospitalist at Tucson Medical Center, was happy to meet with 9OYS to dispel such concerns.
"Vaccinations have been tested in millions of children and just like any therapy there are always risks and benefits," he answered when asked about side-effects of vaccines.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, side-effects are typically minor and may include, fever, mild rash and soreness at the injection site. It said on race occasions, more serious effects include seizures and allergic reactions.
"The risk of vaccines is very minimal compared to the risk of diseases that their children can get," said Dr. Villar in regards to concerned parents.
9OYS asked Dr. Villar why so many parents have said their children started to show signs of autism immediately following a vaccine.
"Unfortunately, autism is usually detected by parents around the same time that we give vaccines, so a lot of people worry that's what causes it," he answered. "There have been many many studies that show that there is not a link established with any of the vaccinations."
On the same note, Dr. Villar said there is not evidence that supports what these parents are saying. He says there is no study that shows a clear link to vaccines causing autism.
The Centers for Disease Control validated his information in this statement.
"Scientific studies and reviews have found no relationship between vaccines and autism. Groups of experts, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Institute of Medicine, also agree that vaccines are not responsible for the number of children now recognized to have autism."
9OYS didn't stop asking questions, there. We went looking on our own and found there was one study linking vaccine to autism. However, that study was retracted in 2010.
An investigation published by the British medical journal concluded the study's author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, misrepresented or altered the medical histories of all 12 of his patients whose cases formed the basis of the 1998 study.
Wakefield has been quoted as saying his work has been "grossly distorted."
With medical science behind him, Dr. Rodrigo Villar stands by what he believes is the truth about vaccines.
"Parents who vaccinate their children are protecting their children," he said.
Haslett stands by that her son's life is evidence enough for what she believes to be the truth.
"If I knew then what I knew now," said Haslett, "he would never have had that shot."

Hot shower and comfortable queen size bed which was really nice.About 10 mins by car to the airport,we shopped at the big mart next to the hotel on our last day,good choice for souvenirs.
Only one terrible thing in the room should be cared for,there are so many ants,and not small one.But it's acceptable for only one night.
BTW,staffs are very nice and can speak Chinese.
The hotel was nice and clean, the staff were REALLY helpful and friendly. The pool was small but looked nice (we didn't use it). It was really convenient having a shop on the premises. Early in the morning (6am) people would be shouting in the corridor and running up and down, which obviously woke us up. The bed was comfy, and the room clean. The bathroom, however clean, stank of damp and urine. You couldn't leave the door open as it would stink out the whole room. I had to hold my breath going in there.
The area wasn't great either, it's on the opposite side of Kuta beach and Kuta square, across a really dangerous road (even though it says security will help you cross, it's still very dangerous). We got cabs to and from Kuta square, which cost 30,000 IDR every time. Not that much.
Just horrible.
Swimming pool is so disgusting that's why we have not swim.
Bedroom is dirty like the bed. We find glass crashed on the floor of the shower. They say the hotel is fitted with wifi access but it's not ! And at 3'oclock on the morning impossible to sleep because some people shouted in the corridor. Only one good thing, the staff is kind.
I stayed for a night after 36 hours of travel to Bali. My room was nearest to reception and was quite loud and the sheets weren't the cleanest. The staff were very nice and the food at the restaurant was great. It was a fine experience overall. I'd stay again on a short term basis.
We could not come there because of changing travel plans, so can not tell much about hotel itself.
However, we tried to contact the place for storing our bags right after we booked it, but no answer was received. Tried to contact couple of days before reservation date to cancel our booking - no answer.
You guys, go figure it yourself ;)
Great for the price. However there are lots of mosquitoes. Otherwise it's good!
We selected this hotel for our first night because it was not too far from the airport and on the way to the other places we were heading to... It's a very nice place for a night or two at a good price ! The people are very helpful and nice the room is comfy the only thing is there are no windows ... But as I said for one night it's not a big deal ! The other little thing is the location you can't really go anywhere by foot, it's not too far from kuta by car but then it's very jammed to get there and come back. Good points are the service, the price, it's clean and the bonus is the souvenir shop right next to it, it has everything you will find in all souvenir shops downtown only it's super cheap and you don't need to bargain for hours !!! Anyway I would recommend this place for a short stay

This is a thread dedicated to playing Magic with people over the internet by posting your moves. Specify what kind of game you're looking for and then wait for some time, or answer to another person's request. Unfortunately, 20-30% of the people asking for a game don't stay here and don't come back, and other people leave during the game. Once you have found an opponent, don't leave this thread and post your next turn within the next minutes. Note that a game can last for 2-3 hours, depending on what decks are being played.
If you don't know your opponent, make sure that your decks have similar power levels, because people have different opinions on what casual play is. Viewing other people's games or their profiles in the introduction thread should give you an impression if they're playing with funny decks that aren't very strong and make for a long match or if they're playing with pretty effective and competitive decks that win after few turns.
Always post your life totals, the number cards in hand, and tapped + untapped permanents. Post other things if they're important, for example your untap step + upkeep step + draw step (U, U, D) together with effects that trigger during these steps. Ask for responses when it's important how your opponent reacts, for example when you're attacking and combat might become exciting because of possible blockers or possible combat tricks. Most of the time, it's a good idea to say that you're done with your turn if your opponent doesn't have any responses.
One possible example on how to post a turn:
You: "U, U, lose one life and draw one card, D. Swamp. Grasp Of Darkness your Birds Of Paradise. After that, attack with my Headless Horseman. If you don't have any responses, go."
18 life (or) L:18
5 cards (or) CiH: 5
, (or) T: 2 x Swamp, U: 2 x Swamp
Unholy Strength@Headless Horseman (4/3)
Phyrexian Arena (or) U: Phyrexian Arena
Other player: "As response to your grasp, I'm going to cast a kicked Vines Of Vastwood on the birds, does that change your turn?"
You: "Oh, then I won't attack you. Headless Horseman remains untapped, and it's your turn."
[c]Lightning Bolt[/c] = Lightning Bolt, [c=Lightning Bolt]L-Bolt[/c] = L-Bolt
If you don't know which cards the other player is familiar with, you should auto-card so that your opponent can read your cards. The basic lands and famous cards don't have to be auto-carded, but even if your opponents also knows your other cards, he or she may want to read them another time every once in a while. It's nice to auto-card some complicated permanents when you list them at the end of your turn.
tap symbols [mc]t[/mc] =
untap symbols [mc]q[/mc] =
colorless mana [mc]1[/mc] = , [mc]2[/mc] =
colored mana [mc]w[/mc] = , [mc]u[/mc] = , [mc]b[/mc] = , [mc]r[/mc] = , [mc]g[/mc] =
phyrexian mana [mc](wph)[/mc] = , [mc](uph)[/mc] = , [mc](bph)[/mc] = , [mc](rph)[/mc] = , [mc](gph)[/mc] =
hybrid mana [mc](gw)[/mc] = [mc](wg)[/mc] = , [mc](wb)[/mc] = [mc](bw)[/mc] = , [mc](bg)[/mc] = [mc](gb)[/mc] =
Specify how many people you want to join and wait for some time. Once there are enough players, explain possible extra rules, divide teams and set the turn order. Such games often take 3-7 hours, and people not knowing that might leave after some hours. Unfortunately, that's how most of the multiplayer games end, be aware of this problem!
* Cards that allow you to look at your opponent's library require them to post a decklist and then adjust numbers.
* Cards that care about graveyards force players to post lots of stuff every turn, especially when facing milling decks.
* Cards that force opponents to post responses and decisions again and again can make the game take forever.
* Cards that select "at random" might require lots of trust in your opponent, even more so than most other things.
Remember to create another thread when this one has 900 - 1000 posts. Simply quote this opening post and copy everything, then delete the quote tags. Don't forget to mention a very bad card in your thread's title, otherwise you're breaking with traditions!
Enjoy your games.

I'm using McCall's 3830; I have previously sewn this skirt, but after wearing the earlier version a few times, I've determined that the fit could be improved.
The lining is vintage Aquascutum lining fabric snagged on Ebay (oh, the fabulously random items that can be found there!).
I am about half-way there, and am excited to see how the vent turns out (assuming I can determine how to attach the lining and fashion fabric vents together, which looks to be the trickiest part).
I would like to draft a godet for my next pencil skirt; I think it's another elegant way to finish a hem slit.
The classic reference book Vogue Sewing (which my sister fortuitously gave me as a gift years ago, well before I started garment sewing) has really good instructions on how to insert one.
I actually learned about godets from Project Runway: a contestant was discussing her hem finish, and another contestant - who was not professionally trained - lamented that he did not even know what a godet was. I didn't either, so I looked it up!
It was a Wadder Weekend for me. The second in a row, actually. I planned to make a dress from an amazing graphic silk, but the bodice just wasn't working with the lightweight silk. I used the silk instead for a simple shell with Simplicity 2599, which I've made before, but the armhole facings did not attach properly. I had already trimmed the seams and understitched, and needle marks will not come out of silk. It was time to just let this material go.

"Arise and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time." Winston Churchill
"Proclaim Liberty throughout All the land unto All the Inhabitants Thereof." Inscription on the Liberty Bell
President Obama was triumphant yesterday, following the collapse of the Republican House's ill-advised attempt to use the threat of a shutdown to block Obamacare. From the Democrats' perspective, being threatened with a shutdown is like being threatened with a second helping of dessert. So the result was predictable. So what are we left with? A burgeoning debt, and no effort on the horizon to get it under control. Obama's "victory" »
"We must increase our debt limit so that we can pay our bills."
As Tyler Durden notes, this is the "most disturbing sentence uttered during the debt ceiling debate/government shut down." America is now going on $17 trillion in debt, a level of insolvency that would already be regarded as catastrophic if the Fed were not keeping interest rates close to zero. The federal deficit declined in FY 2013, which ended on September 30. Final numbers are not yet available, but it is »
How bad is this?
Section 1002 of the Senate bill that was enacted last night is entitled the Debt Default Prevention Act of 2013. The text of the Senate bill is posted here; section 1002 begins on page 24. Section 1002 is one of those incomprehensibly formulated provisions full of cross-rerences. It is not exactly straightforward. Moreover, the legislative summary of the Senate bill — posted here — does not include a summary of »
The Fiscal Deal: A Post-Mortem
The terms of the Senate "compromise" have been unveiled, and they obviously don't give the Republicans much. The deal funds the federal government through January 15, and raises the debt limit through February 7. I am not sure what this latter term means; is Treasury authorized to borrow whatever it takes, but only until February 7? Or have they estimated an additional amount that is calculated to last until then? »
"None of You [Reporters] Were Math Majors, Were You?"
Default hysteria continues in Washington, in defiance of the most basic facts of arithmetic. Some Republicans have even been taken in, but one who is having none of it is Congressman David Schweikert of Arizona, the former treasurer of Maricopa County: "You and I can find ways the game-playing has been done," said Arizona Rep. David Schweikert, the former treasurer of Maricopa County. "You don't get to have those debates »
Republicans look to stop bleeding; Dems look to attack sequester
The Senate reportedly is close to a deal that would reopen the government until January 15, 2014 and raise the debt ceiling until February 14. Under this deal, there would be bicameral budget negotiations through December 15 of this year to try to reach a broad bargain. On the Obamacare front, HHS Secretary Sebelius would have to certify that individuals receiving Obamacare subsidies meet the income levels required by law. »
The AP Misreports the Debt Ceiling
I wrote here that no matter what happens with the debt limit, the federal government will not default on its debt obligations. I also noted here that Moody's–which certainly ought to know–agrees that there is zero chance of default on Treasury bonds. In recent days, many more commentators have made the same point. The government is legally obligated to recognize its debt obligations, and the existing $17 trillion debt can »
House Republicans contemplating short-term debt extension
The House Republican leadership reportedly is seriously considering passing its own six-week extension of borrowing, unless a Senate compromise emerges in the next day or two. A senior House Republican aide told Politico that "there will be a time fairly soon, I think, where the only option to get something done before the deadline is originating legislation in the House." The legislation contemplated by House leadership reportedly would not be »
Democrats have the whip hand and use it
Earlier this weekend, a compromise proposal by Sen. Collins to end, or at least postpone, the fiscal showdown failed to gain traction due to lack of support from Democrats. Collins is the quintessential "moderate Republican," the alleged disappearance of whom from the Senate causes such hand-wringing in MSM circles. Collins' proposal would have extended government funding for six months and boosted the debt ceiling through the end of January. By »
What Now For House Republicans?
House Republicans are meeting with the White House tonight to try to resolve the current standoff over the partial government shutdown and the debt limit. Republicans are bargaining from a position of severe weakness, due to their misguided decision to try to condition a continuing resolution to fund the first part of FY 2014 on (first) a defunding of Obamacare, and (second) a one-year delay in Obamacare's implementation. This was »
Are House Republicans On the Verge of a Major Strategic Error?
The House Republicans' strategy with respect to the current fiscal impasse has been wrong-headed from the beginning, in my view. Refusing to pass a continuing resolution unless Obamacare was delayed for a year resulted, predictably, in a partial government shutdown with no end in sight. On the other hand, John Boehner and the House Republicans did not, initially, try to use the debt limit–a much stronger issue–to get concessions from »
Moody's Confirms: US Won't Default
I missed this when it came out on Monday, but if you missed it too, it is worth noting: Moody's has confirmed that, exactly as I wrote here, the federal government will not default on its debt obligations if Congress does not increase the statutory debt limit. Steven Hess, Moody's principal U.S. sovereign credit analyst, said: We believe the government would continue to pay interest and principal on its debt »
Obama gets folksy, keeps straight face
Barack Obama, who likes to talk about "folks," was at his folksy best during his press conference yesterday. Several times, he used analogies to household living in an attempt to illustrate the folly of the Republican push for negotiations to end the partial government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling. He led of his remarks with this: Think about it this way, the American people do not get to demand »
Who has the upper hand in the debt ceiling dispute?
John has written a very important post called "Memo to GOP: If Obama Won't Compromise, Don't Raise the Debt Ceiling." His post adds significant clarity to the debt-ceiling discussion. As to its conclusions, I think many of them are sound. Others, I'm not so sure about. Here's the breakdown. First, I wholeheartedly agree with John that "if Obama won't compromise, don't raise the debt ceiling." The balance of terror in »
Memo to GOP: If Obama Won't Compromise, Don't Raise the Debt Ceiling
In any negotiation, the key question is, what is the default status? That is, what happens if you don't make a deal? If you are negotiating a business transaction (e.g., a merger), the default status is that the transaction doesn't occur and the parties walk away. If you are trying to settle a lawsuit, the default status is that the case goes to trial and both parties take their chances. »
Barack Obama, Imaginary Senator
I don't suppose anyone on television network news has mentioned it recently, but many people–probably including just about all of our readers–are aware of Senator Barack Obama's passionate opposition to any increase in America's debt limit back when President Bush was in office. And when the debt was a mere $8.6 trillion. But my friend and podcast partner Brian Ward thought that this abstract knowledge isn't enough. Brian thought it »
The Federal Government Can't, and Won't, Default on Its Debt Obligations
One remarkable aspect of the shutdown/debt limit battle is the irresponsibility (on the part of the Obama administration) and incompetence (on the part of the news media) concerning the claim that the federal government will default on its debt obligations if Congress fails to raise the debt limit. President Obama and his minions have clearly suggested that default is a real possibility: "As reckless as a government shutdown is … »

This is a thin, warm layer that wicks moisture from the skin. It's great for snowstorms, bad for warm theaters and goodwills, as I found... If you want to stay warm and dry and still be able to move, this is it.
