Vallarta Gay Pride: From Imagination to Reality
Four years ago, everyone in Puerto Vallarta thought it was tragic that such a major LGBT destination didn't have a gay pride celebration. So we set out to do something about that. Now in its third year, Puerto Vallarta Gay Pride 2015 shows how our Pride has grown in a huge way…and it speaks well for the cooperation and maturation of the entire PV LGBT community.
The formation of ACT/LGBT business organization and the Pride organizing committee has resulted in a bigger and better event than ever, with Lea Delaria as Grand Marshall of the Parade, and a huge list of events running from Wednesday May 20 to Monday May 25. We would be remiss not to call out the superheroic efforts of William Hevener, without whose energy, dedication and passion the event would never happen.
Pulling together to throw events are some of Vallarta's non-profit groups including the Amapas Neighborhood Association with the Drag Derby, and the Puerto Vallarta Mens' Chorus singing two concerts, and SETAC with a Memorial Candlelight March. Dozens of local businesses and international airlines have sponsored the event, allowing for greater international exposure and publicity.
Speaking of exposure, the Andrew Christian models will be staying at Casa Cupula, so if you're not a guest, you may want to splurge on a Pump Gym daypass because you never know who you'll see by the pool or in Pump's steam room.
Casa Cupula's participation is greater than ever, with six different events:
Start Your Engines! Vallarta Pride is Rev'ed Up and Ready to Go!
Vallarta Pride 2015 has arrived and the excitement is palpable! We've posted about the official Commitment Ceremony, we've invited you to Circo de Cupula, the official Pride Warm Up Party and we've announced the special guests at our Pride Sunday Brunch, but we've yet to feature what has become one of our favorite events of the weekend, the Pulpito Drag Derby!
The 2nd Annual Pulpito Drag Derby will once again transform Calle Pulpito and the Pinnacle stairs (located at the intersection of Pulpito and Olas Altas, 1 block and 1/2 up from colorful Los Muertos Beach) into a Drag Race Track and giant block-party featuring music, laughs, entertainment and of course, another action packed (drag) race.
The pre-party gets underway with music and entertainment as larger-than-life musical talent Amy Armstrong, reknowned for having the voice of an angel and the mouth of a sailor, warms up the crowd and introduces Drag Derby contestants in all their sequined splendor. Amy will also be on hand as the event's M.C.
Everybody gets a chance to place bets on their favorite drag queen, sample Pulpito Punch, and buy Drag Derby 2015 t-shirts (just $125 pesos each). All contestants who successfully bet on this year's winner will receive 3X their bet in Pulpito Pesos, accepted at many participating local businesses.
Our own Edwina will even be throwing her heels into the ring, so if you're in town with us this week, we hope to see you out in support. If you'd like to bet on Edwin, you can do so at this secure link. Bets are available in $100, $200 or $500 incriments.
Amy will be accompanied and backed up by equally talented Bohemia Viva, aka the dynamic duo Andrea and Luis, also well-known Vallarta entertainers.
The music and fun continue non-stop as the Vallarta Pride Opening Party officially kicks off the weekend with a DJ, great music, special entertainment and surprise guests.

And The Oscar Goes to….
Since the hey-day of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Puerto Vallarta has been a draw to the stars and glitterati. In honor of that proud tradition, as we have done so the last few years, we'll be rolling out the red carpet and hosting our very own Oscar viewing party during your stay together with our award-winning restaurant, TASTE…
A banquet fit for a starlet will be served for only $449 pesos per guest, which includes one drink from the bar.
As we have done the last few years, we will also be holding a RAFFLE for the person who guesses the most major awards correctly.
For full details, please visit the Taste website and confirm attendance directly with your Casa Cupula Concierge at firstname.lastname@example.com as soon as possible due to our limited seating.
Once we receive your RSVP along with the amount of guests that will be joining you, we will reply with a confirmation. In case you have friends that will be in town (staying in another hotel) during this time they are welcome to join you as well, simply have them contact us directly for a reservation or include them with yours.
And the Oscar goes to…
Cupula's Going Cuckoo for Coco!
Over the last few year's, "Beyond Gay Friendly" Puerto Vallarta's cabaret and theater scene has really come into its own, attracting well-known and established artists to our gentle winter climate, friendly local hospitality and eager and receptive audiences, mixed with tourists and locals alike.
Thanks to our partnerships with The Palm Caberet and Act II Stages, Casa Cupula we'll be playing host to a number of these acts over the next few months.
We had the honor earlier this week of hosting the iconic Coco Peru for her first night in town. I usually don't get star struck, but Coco holds a special place in my heart as her films "Trick" and "Girls Will Be Girls" were some of the first gay cult cinema I was exposed to in college during my coming out phase, not to mention her role in "To Wong Foo"!
Coco joined us for a delicious dinner at our Taste Restaurant (I have to say, our chef Cesar Barajas is really bringing it home this season with some creative dishes in good taste!).
Last night, she hosted our Friday Night Warm Up Party, and gave us a preview of her upcoming show at The Palm Cabaret, Coco Peru Live!.
In Coco Peru Live!, she performs some of her favorite monologues and songs spanning her long career, as well as some new material. Whether you've heard all or some of these stories, or if you're a Coco virgin, come see why Lily Tomlin called Coco "one of the last great storytellers" and experience the trailblazing Queen who elevated drag, whilst still wearing sensible heels. It's sure to be hysterical!
If you'll be staying with us during the dates Feb. 2 – 15, it's recommended to secure your seats in advance by directly contacting your Casa Cupula Concierge at 1-866-352-2511 ext. 142 or email@example.com. Ask about the Casa Cupula Promo Code available for shows at The Palm Cabaret and we'll take it from there!
Must See LGBT TV: Transparent
With a new "golden age" of television, there's so much to choose from in so many different venues, good shows can get easily lost. Thankfully this hasn't been the case with "Transparent", which debuted as the most binge-watched program on Amazon Prime (original programming). And for good reason.
Somehow this series seems so authentic, it simply pulls you into the story before you know it. Transparent follows the transgender transition of Mort Pfefferman (Jeffrey Tambor), a 60-something patriarch of a culturally but not very religiously Jewish LA family, to Maura. Unbeknownst to his three boundary-challenged adult kids, he'd been quietly experimenting with for decades.
But as we quickly learn, Maura may be the most "normal" of his angst-ridden family, and so the fun begins. You'll love the ride as it brings to light each letter of our famous LGBT and Q letters.
Tambor's change, which on network TV would be the shocker, is merely the hook to explore the Pfeffermans' family issues. The show's feel isn't preachy or over the top to grab attention. It's a welcome reprieve from manufactured characters in fake situations, like the campy gay best friend of the lead female character we keep running into these days. For "Transparent", deciding who among them is the "lead", the "female" or the "character" is half the fun.
Jingle Your Bells this Holiday Season @ The Palm Cabaret!!
Return visitors to Casa Cupula have noticed over the last few years that entertainment options around our neighboring Zona Romantica have grown a little more sophisticated beyond the 3am drag shows or amateur shower dancers at some of our favorite bars (not that there's anything wrong with that 😉
In fact, over the last 2 seasons, it's not a matter of what to do between dinner and dancing, it's a matter of getting it all in during your brief stay! What'll it be tonight? A headlining standup act or a full length musical? A former X-Factor finalist or an international drag superstar?
This Holiday season, our friends at The Palm Cabaret are celebrating their 15th anniversary season with quite the line up, moving beyond the nichey mix of local gaylebrities and nightclub acts (again, not that there's anything wrong with that) and scoring some current and veritable household names.
Film and television's Alec Mapa (America's gaysian sweetheart) just finished a critically acclaimed run of his one-man show "Baby Dady" and the revolving door of talent continues to roll through the last few weeks of 2014 and into the New Year.
San Francisco's The Kinsey Sicks' blissfully blasphemous holiday show, "Oy Vey in a Manger" returns to PV despite popular demand, Dec. 23-Jan 2! Bring all your tasteless friends (and easily-offended enemies) for an evening of twisted hilarity.
A recent rave review of their just-wrapped New York run of "Oy Vey" claimed "What proves possibly most striking about The Kinsey Sicks isn't merely their phenomenal vocal blend, but their astonishing ability to cross the line between harmonic brilliance and side-splitting comedy".
Friends of the Casa, Shawn Pelofsky and Leslie Jordan, are also coming down the line the next few weeks, so clear your calendars and secure your seats early. The frosting on the cookie this season? All Casa Cupula guests (and those who follow this blog for that matter) are granted a complimentary upgrade to Preferred Seating when purchasing their General Seating tickets in advance online using the promo code "CasaCupula" (one word, both "C's" in caps!) CLICK HERE to secure your tickets before the shows fill up.
The Palm is a small, intimate space, so shows do sell out! For further assistance in locking in your Preferred Seating at the General Seating rate in advance, please email email@example.com or dial us directly at 1-866-352-2511 ext. 142.
New Year's Eve at Casa Cupula!
Ready to ring in a very gay New Year? Over the years, we've developed a great program for New Year's Eve which includes a huge buffet dinner at Taste from 7pm-11pm. Last year we served over 100 guests! Many said it was the best New Year's of their life. Afterwards, we host a Fireworks Party next door at Casa Ramona from 11pm-1am, from which you can see dozens of fireworks displays. We also light the floating lanterns which is a very special occasion.
You can read the dinner menu here, it's pretty spectacular. Dinner is $999 pesos (about $72 USD) and the party is $299 pesos, but if you go to both you save $150 pesos.
Dinner includes a choice of red or white wine, a cocktail to start and an incredible spread. The party includes 3 drinks (mixed or champagne) plus more appetizers, and fabulous party hats.
Bring in the New Year with friends. To reserve your place, write to email@example.com if you are a guest, or firstname.lastname@example.com if you're visiting from outside. Reserve early as we always book to capacity, so avoid last minute disappointments!
Friday Night Warm Up Party: MAXIMA EDITION
US Thanksgiving weekend and massive dance festivals have been synonymous in Puerto Vallarta for more than a decade, but a new pulse will be beating this year with the addition of the much anticipated Maxima Festival. As a result, our weekly Friday Night Warm Up Party scheduled for Friday, Nov. 28th will be packing an extra punch as we add some gogos, turn up the music and host the official pre-party for the Bachanal Party, to be held later that night.
Casa Cupula guests, all members of Pump Gym & Spa and all attendees to Friday Night's Warm Up Party, also have access to the Maxima Festival All Access pass at 15% off the regular price. All access bracelets can be purchased in advance at either the Casa Cupula Concierge desk or Taste Restaurant.
PV locals with a government issued ID also will be granted a deep discount of only $500 pesos for the all access pass, or 50% off at the door for each individual event as long as they arrive before 1am.
As always, it's a good idea to secure your Casa Cupula discounted passes in advance by emailing email@example.com dialing us directly at 1-866-352-2511 ext. 142.
We'll see you on the dance floor!

Now much pain from a broken foot bone?
Started by EsmeLennox , Jan 23 2013 07:41 PM

So if you've broken a bone in your foot (or anywhere I suppose) and it wasn't diagnosed straight away how much pain were you in. Did it get progressively worse?
I was lifting up our kitchen bin this morning and the handle broke on it and the main part of the (full to capacity, overflowing) bin hit my foot, probably from about mid-thigh height. I reckon it probably weighed 30 or so kg. It really hurt a the time, the pain subsided, and although it's hurt a bit to walk on today it has mainly been Ok. It is now starting to swell and is hurting, well, rather a lot. I can put up with it, but I am staring to wonder if maybe I've fractured a small bone. It kind of caught my foot right on the edge of the bottom of the bin, so only one specific part of my foot took the impact IYKWIM.
Guess if it swells more and hurts more I'll be off to the GP tomorrow, but of course, I'm curious of others' experiences with minor fractures. You can see an indented mark on my foot where the edge of the bin hit it, but it hasn't really bruised much, which I have been surprised about.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 07:47 PM
I broke the 5th metatarsal (no idea how you spell that) in my foot.
It freakin killed! Total agony. I did it playing netball at night, went home and went to bed with ice on it just thinking I had twisted something. By the morning it was black and blue and I couldn't put any weight on the foot at all. Not even a limp, I had to hop. Off I hopped to work (my Dh gave me a lift on a scooter!). My boss took one look at it, called me a cab and sent me to the ER where it was diagnosed as broken. I was in a lot of pain and it was incredibly swollen.
Anyway hope yours is okay but go and get an xray. I doubt you could put weight on it of it was broken.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 07:54 PM
Foot injuries can be incredibly painful and crippling without a bone being broken.
I once had what was eventually diagnosed as a bad sprain. I couldn't properly weight bear on that foot for more than a month! It was so tender and so slow to recover I was convinced something was broken, as was my physio who saw me go grey every time she pressed it..... so xrays were done twice and nope, definitely no break. It's never been quite the same since, either.
I hope for your sake there's nothing broken OP, but that doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a few ouchy weeks ahead of you!
Posted 23 January 2013 - 07:58 PM
I had a fracture in my foot that took a while to be diagnosed.
I seriously contemplated trying to cut my foot off. DH could not sleep in the same bed as me because just having the sheet move caused so much pain I was sobbing.
So in short, it really, really hurts.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 08:00 PM
Thanks. Maybe it's just soft tissue then, hope so.

I walked on a broken bone for 2wks and in that time walked 10km every few days, before it was found to be broken. My foot hurt a tiny little bit, but not much.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 08:06 PM
I've fractured a bone on the outside of my foot. It swelled up and ached badly for a day or two, then gradually lessened over a couple of weeks.
There was no treatment, it was just a matter of waiting for it to heal. My GP recommended crutches, but I found them too annoying and just hobbled carefully. Your case sounds quite similar to mine so it could indeed be a break.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 08:07 PM
I had a few small fractures in my foot bone after "saving" DS - he tried to pull a heavy screen on top of him and I stuck my leg out so it wouldn't hit him - my foot took the whole weight of this falling screen (it weighs about 20-30kg).
Didn't know it was fractures for a few months - maybe 2 before I got a scan? It hurt like hell but only when I "stepped" on it a certain way. Couldn't wear heels at all - lived in flats - but I assumed I had sprained/internally bruised it because I could still walk (or hobble on some days).
Didn't have any bruising (I don't bruise easily). No dents or anything else amiss e.g. wonky looking toes.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 08:18 PM
I broke a bone in my left foot three years ago. I couldn't get up and needed an ambulance as I obviously also couldn't drive a manual car.
It hurt. Really hurt. Really, really hurt. It still hurts some days now.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 08:37 PM
I broke my navicular bone. As I fell down a flight of stairs, I thought I had sprained BOTH my ankles (yes I hurt both my feet). After 2 days of sitting on the lounge with frozen peas and other various frozen things, and taking Nurofen and not sleeping, I went to the doctor.
As I could wriggle my toes, I didn't think I had broken anything (you know, cause I once watched a medical show which made me an expert on all things medical). To my utter disgust, I had broken my right navicular bone and tore all the ligaments in the left foot. Strangely enough, it was the left foot which hurt more than the break. Also, because I was walking around (to go to the toilet and to get more frozen things and Nurofen) despite being very tender, I still didn't think I had any broken bones.
I ended spending about 12 weeks in a cast - it took AGES to heal.
Good luck OP, hope your foot is okay, but it probably wouldn't hurt to get it checked out to be sure.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 08:49 PM
I broke the two bones in my heel and walked on it until I got told off by medical staff for doing so, I didn't know it was broken. It did hurt but not excruciatingly so.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 08:49 PM
QUOTE (stopwhiningatme @ 23/01/2013, 06:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I broke the same bone as Ehill. Well, I always say the kids broke it, but that's another story. Agony. No way could I walk on it.
Awful isn't it. I still have a lump out the side of the foot. I did it about 8yrs ago and it took such a long time to properly heal and I ended up having to see a physio as I stuffed my knees and back by walking incorrectly. It was probably 6mo before I even attempted highheel shoes.
*sigh* memory of my last ever game of netball......a game for the under 30's I decided the next day.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 09:01 PM
I broke a bone in my right foot - the right hand side half way down (how's that for medical jargon lol).
I could not put any weight on it at all and had to go to the ER department (I was in a different state at the time to my home). Had to have crutches but foot was only wrapped in bandage. There was hardly any swelling or bruising.
Had to have 4 weeks off work as I wasn't medically fit for work!
Posted 23 January 2013 - 09:20 PM
I broke a bone in my foot trying to catch a can of soup that fell out of a top shelf. It hurt at the time but I was on the phone so just tried to ignore it. Then it swelled and looked like the skin was going to puncture, so I went to hospital and had it xrayed.
It wasn't excruciating, and I've certainly had far worse pain.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 09:27 PM
DH broke a bone in his foot a few years ago and he couldn't walk on it. He couldn't drive his car as he couldn't push the clutch in with it.
BUT, he broke his ankle last week and they told him there was evidence of an old break in the side of his foot (opposite foot to the one he broke a few years ago). He had no knowledge of having broken anything in that foot before so obviously it is possible to break it and not really know for sure it is broken.
I suppose it depends where you break it.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 09:44 PM
I had a compound fracture in my foot 6 years ago. Fell down stairs, pregnant carrying my toddler- there was blood everywhere! It hurt like hell that first hour or so, (much swearing) but I didn't think it was broken. I presumed I had landed on something hence the blood.
DH was away, I knew there was no way I could drive with it but it didn't hurt badly enough to be a break (so I thought).
I hobbled around ok, washed it as well as I could (hard when you are 7 months pregnant), waited the 3 days till DH came home.
I asked him to look at the bottom of my foot and he freaked and took me to a doctor, who sent me for x-rays. Yes it was definitely broken.
I have had worse pain. So, yes, yours could definitely be broken!
Posted 23 January 2013 - 09:55 PM
I finished a game of basketball with a broken ankle. Sometimes your brain just compartmentalises pain because it has more exciting things to deal with.
Posted 23 January 2013 - 10:36 PM
I dropped an ikea flat pack from about shoulder height onto my foot. Hurt like buggery at the time but DH had told me moments earlier in a particularly condescending manner to be careful, so obviously I refused to acknowledge it was hurt. Your description sounds similar to my experience, I didn't have a break but had soft tissue damage, some nerve and ligament damage and possible chip or cracked bone (cant remember which) but dr never sent for xray, just said he would do that of it didn't improve.
I broke my hand and only realises because I couldn't move my fingers. Much less painful that a sprain with tendon damage!

What mad world do we live in? The burning is idiotic. A piece of idiocy orchestrated by an attention-seeking cult leader. What follows? A media orgy. Death threats. Warnings of impending violence. But since when must the West bow to extremist threats of violence? Do we have free speech or not? I condemn the man and his acts, but he is free to do it without Western interests being attacked anywhere in the world. Is it asking too much that people examine this man and his past and see him for what he is?? And what is any Muslim group doing even discussing concessions with him? What is the message, offend us and we'll give you something? Madness, all of it.

I heard on the way that these gentlemen were to make arrangements for a little dinner near Auteuil, to console mamma for her great trouble in being separated from me. Some other guests were to be there to meet them. I did not pay very much attention to what my mother and my aunt said to each other. Sometimes when they spoke of me they talked either English or German, and smiled at me affectionately. The long drive was greatly appreciated by me, for with my face pressed against the window and my eyes wide open I gazed out eagerly at the grey muddy road, with its ugly houses on each side, and its bare trees. I thought it was all very beautiful, because it kept changing.

Ashlee Simpson
He just broke off his engagement with fiancé Alexis Phifer, and Kanye West is fully focused on his current Glow in the Dark Tour.
Last night, the show it the Nokia Theater stage in Los Angeles, California. And, as could be expected, the "Gold Digger" rapper was on top of his game.
With her new album being released on Tuesday (April 22), Ashlee Simpson was spotted taking advantage of a short break before the final days of promotion get underway.
The Pieces Of Me singer was out arm-in-arm with her Fall Out Boy rocker fiance Pete Wentz - enjoying a romantic dinner date at Foxtail restaurant on Saturday night (April 19).
They're definitely one of the most talked about couples in celebrity land as of late, and Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were spotted arriving at LAX International Airport last night.
The "Little Miss Obsessive" singer and her Fall Out Boy fiancé touched down in Los Angeles around midnight and looked happy to be back in California.
We're just days away from the release of her new album Bittersweet World, and Ashlee Simpson is working overtime to promote the new project.
The "L.O.V.E." singer stopped by the NBC studios at Rockefeller Center this morning to pay a visit to the Today show, where she was interviewed by Matt Lauer before performing her new single "Little Miss Obsessive."
With her new album Bittersweet World hitting stores this Tuesday, April 22nd, as well as shotgun wedding and pregnancy rumors, there's a lot going in the life of Ashlee Simpson.
And the "La La" singer seemed to be doing just fine at last night's Conde Nast Traveler's 8th annual Hot List issue party, held at New York's Mansion.
Thrown into the spotlight for her personal life just prior to the release of her new album Bittersweet World, Ashlee Simpson's approach to stir up interest for her latest studio work seems to be working like a charm.
The Pieces Of Me has the public talking about her recent engagement announcement with Fall Out Boy beau Pete Wentz - and there's a lot of baby talk going on right now, too.
Now that she's engaged (and possibly pregnant) Ashlee Simpson has a whole new world of things to consider. And who better than a fellow celebrity to help guide her along the way!
The "Little Miss Obsessive" singer and fiancé Pete Wentz were spotted on their way to a double dinner date with new parents Nicole Richie and Joel Madden last night.
If the rumors are true, she couldn't have picked a better time to get pregnant! With her new album coming out next week and an engagement announcement just days ago, Ashlee Simpson is carrying a full load.
Last night, the "Pieces of Me" singer was spotted out with her mother Tina, as well as a few friends, having an elegant dinner at da Umberto Restaurant.
It's the gossip that everybody is talking about… rumors about Ashlee Simpson's pregnancy. And the "La La" singer certainly didn't do anything to quell the buzz during a taping of TRL earlier today.
According to an inside source at the taping, Simpson blew off a question about her pregnancy by saying that if all the rumors about her were true, she "would have had a baby by now."
With rumors of a pregnancy swirling around her, Ashlee Simpson was spotted arriving at LAX airport on Monday sporting her shiny, new engagement ring.
The Pieces Of Me singer made her way into the travel hub just 10 minutes after big sister Jessica toted her pet pooch Daisy past security without a hitch.

love the mint pesto! delicate and original.flag if inappropriate
Marinate the shrimp in the pesto, then cook it on the grill. Fabulous flavor! If you are using the rosemary, to prevent it from scorching on the grill, just lay down strips of foil, then place the skewers on, rosemary on, shrimp off. Served with garlic crostini. Best when eaten with a little of each - pesto, shrimp, toast.flag if inappropriate
I served the pesto with cooked shrimp- delicious and a change from the usual red sauce.flag if inappropriate
I've used this pesto recipe many times but have actually never made the shrimp! Still, I come back to these pesto ingredients again and again. Makes a unique pasta, AMazing crostini, and is wonderful on any kind of fish or beef (and I'm guessing it would also be great on lamb, goat, etc.) I often add some walnuts or basil, increase the parm and decrease the oil. Overall, the proportions here are superb and work every time.flag if inappropriate
This is a wonderful way to use up a lot of the mint that runs wild through my garden. The flavors are intense, surprising, exquisite. We served it with brown rice with chopped fresh herbs. I feared it would be too many flavors, but the pesto helped to notch up the rice from a good background food, to an extraordinary dish on its own. We found the shrimp/mint pesto combination were perfectly compatible. The whole dish was a happy and delicious discovery. My 95-year old, Italian mother-in-law ate with us, and she - a grimly tough critic - gushed about it. No small feat. Try this. Follow the recipe. It's exceptional.flag if inappropriate
Love, love this recipe! Brought the shrimp dish to a dinner on Sunday and it went over well. I used the leftover pesto spread over roasted salmon. Yum.flag if inappropriate
Excellent! The mint pesto was very unique.flag if inappropriate
It wasn't bad... but I just feel that basil pesto tates much better. (coming from someone who loves mint anything)flag if inappropriate
Everybody loved this when I served this during the holiday weekend. I did make substitutions, at the time, not being able to find enough mint. So, I used 1C of mint and 1C of parsley and instead of pine nuts I used walnuts. I'm telling you it was great...probably the best thing at dinner!!! The rosemary skewers were such a festive touch-I think that was my favorite part, LOL!!!flag if inappropriate
I thought that the shrimp were okay, but not exceptional. In fact, I have many shrimp recipes that I prefer. The mint pesto was so gross that no one ate it, but it may be because my mint was too potent. Overall, this recipe is not worth a repeat.flag if inappropriate

The rich media player rolls out video capability in its ad formats, and makes incursions into Hollywood.
PointRoll has formalized a video offering that lets advertisers easily incorporate their TV assets into the rich media provider's formats, and said a bevy of entertainment industry clients are on board with the new product.
The company has offered video capabilities for approximately a year, but they haven't been as easy to use as the video component released today. The new offering comes with extensive reporting and incorporates interactivity through the use of floating layers that let the user engage with the video or with the ad. But its main selling point is that it's technology and format agnostic.
"We don't require that clients use any particular design tools," said chief operating officer Chris Saridakis. "They can design in any format and upload into our system, which will serve into different formats. The ad doesn't have to be designed for a QT [QuickTime], Windows or Flash format. It takes out the complexity around video [that designers] still complain about."
The company's early discussion of its new video capabilities was geared mainly toward the motion picture industry -- a vertical in which PointRoll said it's finding considerable traction. Entertainment industry heavies New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers and Disney are among the early clients to use video in their PointRoll ads. Saridakis promised the company will continue to push its products to Hollywood studios. These clients, he notes, are particularly obsessed with online video because of the critical importance of trailers in promoting new films.
To that end, the company has hired Chip Russo away from competitor Eyeblaster to lead Western region sales. "The poaching of Chip Russo from Eyeblaster was a critical move," said Saridakis. "We have enough business, enough clientele that it warrants building up the team in that region."
The video offering comes on the heels of other new video products from the likes of Unicast, Eyeblaster, EyeWonder and Klipmart. Unlike a number of the other rich media firms to launch new online video capabilities this year, PointRoll's video product is not being marketed as a new ad unit, but rather as an add-on that works with its Fat Boy, Tom Boy and other units.
Until March 2012, Zach Rodgers was managing editor of ClickZ's award-winning coverage of news and trends in digital marketing. He reported on the rise of web companies, data markets, ad technologies, and government Internet policy, among other subjects.

Another iPhone 3G lawsuit filed against Apple, AT&T
Yet another lawsuit has been filed against Apple and AT&T over the iPhone 3G, alleging "deceptive, improper or unlawful conduct in [Apple and AT&T's] design, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, and sale" of the iPhone 3G. The Class Action complaint, filed in New York Eastern District Court by Jai Sen, cites numerous issues relating to Apple's latest handset, including hairline cracks in the housing, 3G power demands and AT&T's struggle to respond to the resulting demands on its infrastructure, and misleading advertising. This suit is at least the fourth such complaint filed against Apple and/or AT&T over problems with the iPhone 3G; the suit is seeking restitution, damages, and disclosures and/or disclaimers to be added to packaging and advertisements for the iPhone 3G.

Ok, I can see a suit about 3G performance (or lack thereof) and misleading advertising, but how are hairline cracks in the housing "deceptive, improper or unlawful conduct"? Poor design perhaps, but deceptive/improper/unlawful? I also fail to see how 3G power demands fit in (does the device fall significantly short of Apple's advertised run times?).
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 23, 2008 at 2:26 PM (CDT)
Perhaps I have yet to experience whatever shenanigans these litigious 3G owners are complaining about, but I would like to state for the record that since purchasing my white 16 gig in July I have been nothing short of completely happy. My minor complaints are two things which were never promised to me to begin with: I can't edit Word docs and I cannot text or respond to emails in the "Mail" function with the keyboard turned horizontally. Other than that, I truly believe calling this an iPhone doesn't do it justice. It's an iAwesome. The service plan is a little pricey but nothing outrageous for all the bells and whistles that come with it.

I'm just shaking my head on this. Common' ladies and gentlemens. .... as if there is nothing else to worry about.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 23, 2008 at 4:22 PM (CDT)
"... as if there is nothing else to worry about."
Maybe the plaintiff is using this as an economic stimulus package or possibly using the funds to help support the war in Afghanistan and Iraq?
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 23, 2008 at 4:59 PM (CDT)
What's deceptive, improper or unlawful with the manufacturing, distribution or sale of the iPhone? Is there lead in the silver paint? Were the proper tariffs not paid upon importing? Did Apple associates employ the "bait and switch" with customers walking in wanting a Shuffle but left with an iPhone?
This hurts those that have valid issues, but maybe there will be enough "restitution" to go around. Ridiculous.

Those people better a life, and any attorney that would take a case like that should lose his license.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 23, 2008 at 7:47 PM (CDT)
I am kinda on the wall on this whole lawsuit thing. While I think thre are some problems and I was really upset with my Iphone. I have been able to fix almost all of the issues I have had. Itunes 7.7.1 was giving me problems rolling back to 7.7.0 fix it. I have done other things like this to fix issues. I think that some of these people with the lawsuits think they shouldn't have to deal with doing stuff like this or they don't know how. I think something we tend to forget is, alot of people just don't know how to fix there own issues and don't feel they should have to pay to do it.
My Iphone does live up to most of what I want from it, but I do still have some issues. Will they getting taken care of only time will tell
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 23, 2008 at 8:52 PM (CDT)
That's why you don't buy phones when they first come out. They all have bugs in them cuz the companies are pressuring them to get it out without being 100 percent complete. Be patient and I agree with Shameless1.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 23, 2008 at 9:39 PM (CDT)
My thoughts? This type of action is ultimately a GOOD thing for the consumer.
#9 is correct with regard to products (particularly in the field of technology and software) being released as 'incomplete' or without complete testing. With that being the case, corporations should not be free to make inaccurate or untrue claims which lead to consumers being unhappy with their purchase.
The law should indeed be used to protect consumers. #6 seems to negatively highlight the role lawyers play in this but why not roll your eyes at Apple too? Dont' forget, Apple wasn't formed to create ever-more magical devices to please gleefully thankful customers. They exist primarily to make more and more money. They're in it for the dollar as much as any other company and are no different simply because they produce a product people think is cooler than the gas in their car or wheat in their bread.
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 24, 2008 at 7:48 AM (CDT)
Hey, don't you think that a few sleazy lawyers initiated that (We will sue those guys for… and we will get our money (k's or mil's) and you - consumer - will get your $15…. ) It might be GOOD thing for the consumer (I doubt it), definitely good for the lawyers. Let's face it: We, people, are not perfect… Our gadgets are not perfect as well… Battery life… Screen ... etc.
Let's have a COMMON SENSE!
Posted by Charles Starrett on September 25, 2008 at 9:14 PM (CDT)
folks, this is not like building a box where you can fully test it before you release it. every user is different, every area is different. if apple and att tried to test for every conceivable setup the phone would never be released.
apple and att are trying to fix the problems. so folks need to cut them some slack. if they had released the phone and just told folks to get the F over it and never updated the software, etc that would be different.

As Oklahoma City looks to cut back on unnecessary runs on medical calls by its firefighters, city council members expressed a strong desire Tuesday to make sure senior care centers aren't abusing the availability of city emergency services.
Oklahoma City Council wants to cut unnecessary emergency responses
The city is in the process of merging its fire dispatch system with that of the Emergency Medical Services Authority, which manages the ambulance service in Oklahoma City, Tulsa and many suburbs. Part of the reason is to reduce overlapping responses when both firefighters and EMSA paramedics are dispatched to minor emergencies.
But Councilman Gary Marrs, a former city fire chief, said Tuesday the city should study how to make nursing homes and assisted living centers pay for calls that prove to be an abuse of the system.
Marrs said some unscrupulous senior living centers call 911 to get firefighters to perform tasks that their own staffs should be doing.
"In my opinion, it's because the homes, the centers, will not staff to the level they need to be staffing at, and they don't staff to the level of experience or certification or whatever it takes to do what they're being paid to do," Marrs said. "I know that the system — the fire and EMSA system — will tell you that the owners and the operators of these homes have learned what key words to say when they call in so there's no way that we cannot
False calls alleged
Some centers repeatedly call 911 reporting possible heart attacks, but when firefighters arrive it's clear the center wants them "to do nothing more than put people back in bed," Marrs said.

Would recommend
Good Value for the Money
Close to MTR and nearby to the convention center. Lots of mainland tour groups stay there but plenty of places to go out and visit with the Wharney as your base.
Coyote's for Mexican or Outback for ribs are within easy walking distances.
The good
I just stayed one night and had diner together with my friend at the hotel restaurant(Japanese Style)
It was great the food.
You could see the everything that I meant!
Great value, reasonable price.
Clean and good size room, short distance to convention center, reasonable price.
Excellent Hotel for the [...] Price
Excellent experience except that the front desk told me that international calls from the hotel (in Hong Kong) would cost $5.50US per call regardless of the duration of the call, and I was later charged $50.00 for the call on the basis that the
cost is a minimum $5.50 for the connection and you get charged by the minute after that. They cut the bill to $2.00 as an accommodation when I complained, but I was not entirely pleased with the situation.
The Canny Man Tavern is excellent. Very cozy, good food, reasonable prices, great selection of drinks.Excellent place to get lunch or dinner or hang out for drinks.
Excellent Value!
Excellent. The staff is helpful and friendly and professional. The rooms are clean and adequately equipped. The WiFi internet was not free, but worked great.
The Canny Man pub and restaurant is a great place to have a drink and/or a meal..
Great place in Wan Chai - No families
Cool place in Wan Chai Hong Kong, two blocks away from Wan Chai Metro Station. Clean and comfortable room for the price. Can get all kind of food or bars by walk. I don't recommend this hotels for families or children if they are not prepared for
some "Hong Kong" style in the neighborhood (hookers and girls looking for fun).
Every kind of bars and clubs by walk. Some of them "hot".
Very central and worth the relative value
1st: The hotel is under construction currently. It would be nice to have had this on the description when I booked it
2nd: We checked in late and got a room that had not been fully updated although it was still good for the value
3rd: The staff
was extremely conscientious of the problems and moved us (++ for great service)
4th: After our move the room was much nicer and created a great jumping pad for the rest of our stay in Hong Kong
5th: It was about a 3 minute walk to the Wan Chai station, so we were able to move around the city and outlying islands super easy
6th: The food and drink around the hotel were cheap relative to the rest of the island.
7th: Overall - Highly recommended for the traveler on a hostel+ budget. I think the premium rooms would also be worth the cost given that we walked inside one of the nicer rooms.
Wan Chai has many avenues on which to walk. If you find yourself looking for a "fun" experience outside of Chunking Mansions, my bet is on this area.
Not bad
it is great except a bit small in size for the room. I like the location which is nearby metro, so it is very convenient.
Good 4star hotel
I am doing business trip alone so use budget hotel nomally and at this hotel enjoyed sauna too. Even though not the level of 5star hotel sauna, the bell boy helped me to open the sauna door and health amenity was good too. I could feel the grade
of proud hotel enoughly, even though not so big hotel. I can say very good hotel is. Thks.
great hotel
excellent location for the price paid and lots of local small restaurants, super market and stores nearby.

Dr. Nikolas Chugay :: Plastic Surgeon and LGBTQ Pioneer
Dr. Nikolas Chugay, with offices in Long Beach and Beverly Hills, is one outstanding surgeon, and the reasons are clear: Experience, understanding of the LGBTQ community, compassion and... did we say experience?
Make sure the surgeon you select is qualified, properly trained and certified to perform your procedures. A lot of non-plastic surgeons advertise that they are "cosmetic surgeons" when they can be everything from optometrists to dentists. The American Board of Plastic Surgeons certifies the only real plastic surgeons.
Chugay has practiced for 37 years and his son, Paul, recently become a second- generation plastic surgeon as well. Dr. Chugay is an LGBTQ pioneer in plastic surgery, accepting his first gay and transgender clients over 37 years ago. "At that time, a lot of people did not like gays and would not accept them as clients," shared Chugay.
Dressed in a suit with a crisp shirt and matching tie, Chugay's fine, small hands
seem like a master surgeon's. On his long list of accomplishments, he is considered the "godfather of implants." He explained, "Twenty five years ago it was common practice to place an implant -- at the time, silicon was most popular -- on top of muscle. I helped to develop new procedures which are now considered 'best practices' for plastic surgeons worldwide."
When considering factors like experience, it's comforting to know he pioneered such practices as used by plastic surgeons today. "The implant field has been revolutionized," explained Dr. Chugay, "We now offer implants for calves, biceps, pectorals and more. Want six-pack abs? Done. Want a J-Lo booty? It can be yours with buttock implants. Breast augmentation? No problem."
Dr. Chugay is also a pioneer in the transgender community, accepting his first transgender patient almost 30 years ago. "I was a doctor, transgender people came to me for help... so, I helped," said Chugay modestly. "I used to share an office with another Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. He didn't like gays and, especially, transgender people in our practice," said Chugay with disdain in his voice. "He felt it was 'bad for business,' so I said, forget him." Currently, nearly 50 percent of Chugay's male clientele are LGBT.
Dr. Chugay offers Botox, Restalyne and other anti-aging injectable procedures and for men, his work with testosterone replacement is booming. "Men want their energy back, want to feel vital and, of course, want an active, youthful sex life," he stated.
Sitting back in his office, Chugay smiles broadly then speaks. "It is a great feeling to help people look and feel better. When I see my LGBTQ patients from 30 years ago, when no one else would care for them, I am proud." He continued, "One patient just brought in his grandson. It made me feel a little old, but I realized, I'm a pioneer and I was there first!"
So, thinking about having plastic surgery? The issues to consider: Cost, recovery time and pain management. Costs vary from doctor to doctor and recovery time is similar for most, though things like age, general healthfulness, drinking, smoking, etc., are all factors that affect recovery.
Most surgeons recommend a general anesthetic, which makes it possible for you not to feel a thing during your procedure. New practices and technologies can also make recovery time quicker and reduce pain greatly during recovery. Dr. Barry Friedberg, who practices anesthesia for cosmetic surgery and works with Dr. Nikolas Chugay, discussed with The Rage Monthly his approach to anesthesia and healing.

Meth-Head Mom Allegedly Shot Up 5-Year-Old Kid With Meth
An admitted meth user's 5-year-old daughter tested positive for meth, after the girl complained about her mother sticking her with needles, police say.
Jacqueline Trousdale, a 30-year-old Phoenix resident, was the subject of "several" ongoing Child Protective Services investigations, according to court documents obtained by New Times, which isn't exactly hard to believe.
Trousdale had been living at a hotel in Tolleson in October, after a relative reported possible molestation of Trousdale's kids, ages 5 and 6.
The kids had told family members, including their father, that their mother was injecting them with a drug, and then "allowing men to molest them for a profit while inside of the hotel room," the documents state.
While the allegations of molestation didn't pan out, Tolleson cops were able to substantiate the drug claims.
The kids' father went to the hotel to confront Trousdale, but she was busy smoking meth in the bathroom with the kids. He took the 5-year-old girl with her, but the 6-year-old refused to leave her mom.
According to the documents, the 5-year-old told the reporting relative that he mother "stuck her in the foot with a needle, and she felt drowsy afterwards."
CPS had been looking for these kids in October -- as Trousdale moved around to different hotels -- but an investigator was finally able to interview the little girl.
Among other things, the girl said her mom gave her a shot in her arm, which police say "resembled a mosquito bite, but also resembled a puncture mark."
The girl did not say she was molested, and a forensic exam concluded the same thing. However, the nurse examining her did find that she had a fever, was underweight, and had an untreated heart condition, according to the documents.
Police interviewed Trousdale in late October -- after CPS took custody of her kid -- and denied using marijuana around her daughters. She did, however, admit that she smokes meth around the kids, but claimed that they're usually sleeping when she's hitting the meth.
The Department of Public Safety crime lab just shipped back the results of the 5-year-old girl's urine late last week, finding that she tested positive for both amphetamine and methamphetamine.
Trousdale was tracked down and arrested on Sunday, and was "yelling, cussing, and eventually refused to answer any questions," court documents state.
"Some of her responses were unintelligible, and she appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance," a probable-cause statement says, as we have some good guesses as to what that substance might be.
Trousdale was booked on one charge of felony child-abuse, as well as a misdemeanor charge of endangering the health of a minor.

As we have noted before, virtualization and cloud computing are forcing a reinvention of the operations management business on two fronts. The first front is that virtualization and cloud computing introduce new requirements that legacy solutions do not meet and they break legacy products rendering them worse than useless (because the consume resources and money and add no value). The second front is that successful operations management vendors like Veeam, Xangati, VMTurbo, Zenoss, PHD Virtual, SolarWinds, Reflex Systems, VKernel, and VMware have all made it much easier to try and buy operations management solutions leading to a new business model for operations management vendors that makes the existing legacy way of selling enterprise systems management software completely unattractive to customers and irrelevant.

VMware – The Next Microsoft, or the Next Oracle?
VMware is already the best (most competent) and most important (fastest growing and the source of the most innovation) system software company on the planet. But as successful as VMware has been to date, it is worthwhile to ask what lies ahead – and most importantly in what direction VMware is likely to go on some key business and technical issues. In order to understand the range of choices VMware has it is worth looking at both Microsoft and Oracle as points of reference. Continue reading VMware – The Next Microsoft, or the Next Oracle?
AppSense DataLocker gives Dropbox more security hints at the beginning of the end for VDI?
AppSense Labs have released a free suite, DataLocker. Not only is Datalocker AppSense's first departure to support environments beyond Microsoft Windows, but it is intended to ease adding an extra layer of security to sensitive files before syncing them to cloud-based services.
What does AppSense Lab's first product release have in its locker? What is the comparison to other cloud storage solutions? AppSense Labs is a new direction for AppSense, a company typically associated with managing windows desktop environments and enabling VDI. If AppSense is investing in new services beyond "traditional" mobile/cross-device solutions such as VDI, what does this mean for those traditional solutions long term?

Who's Who in Managing your Virtual Infrastructure (vSphere, Hyper-V, etc.)
In "CA Starts the Race To Self-Destruction Among the "Big Four" in Virtualization Management" we explained why the big four are not a good choice for managing your virtual infrastructure (and for that matter your private/hybrid/public cloud). There are two top level reasons for this. The first is that virtualization both breaks how legacy management solutions work and introduces a new set of requirements that legacy solutions cannot address. The second is that the management vendors who are finding success in the virtualization market have focused upon an "easy to try, easy to buy, and affordable to own" business strategy that is the opposite of how the big four do business.

Browsium Ion: time to get going from IE6?
Reports on IE6's death are often greatly exaggerated. A number of sites do offer statistics for consumer Internet browser share, but enterprise users are another breed and have a different browser use profile: IE6 is still there alive and well in a large swathe of enterprise desktops. This puts a risk on projects that look to move an organisation beyond Windows XP.
To address this, Browsium have built on their experience in providing a solution to IE6 compatibility to launch Browsium Ion. Browsium have designed Ion to enable IE6 and IE7-dependent web applications to run unmodified in an IE8 or IE9 tab.
The end of life for IE6 is tied to Microsoft XP/Server 2003.. the clock ticks to 2014. Can Ion address the compatibility problems for corporates and still stay on the right side of Redmond? Will Browsium Ion get migration projects shackled by a reliance on IE6 going?
Cloudyn Addresses the Economics of Public Cloud Computing
The good news about public cloud computing is that if you use it a little bit, or only on an intermittent basis, it is really cheap. The bad news is that if that casual use scales up to full time production use, public cloud computing can get really expensive in a hurry. This is especially a problem when people other than IT Operations sign up for the public cloud services – for example people who own and build applications in business units. Applications owners and developers do not have the cost minimization DNA that is very prevalent in IT Operations these days.

My name is Sindre Alexander, and I'm a boy - eighteen years old. I spend my time working with music, hanging with friends, reading books and literature, and lastly I tend to enjoy myself with some exercising. I consider myself an outgoing, kind and sweet person. Who might be a bit too energetic at times, but most of the time I'm a blast to be around.
When I write. I write from impulses I get when I'm inspired, or just simply feel the need to write. I don't have any genres as a favorite - I just write and see how my story develops and what it has to offer. Anyhow, I would appreciate both good and constructive comments.
You could always send me a message - PS! I would love to co-operate, or have a writing pal who would let me read his or her story and give spelling tips, or just general constructive ideas, and the other way around.

Secular Trends in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Obesity Among US Adults in the Primary Care Setting
ABSTRACT Excess weight afflicts the majority of the US adult population. Research suggests that the role of primary care physicians in reducing overweight and obesity is essential; moreover, little is known about self-care of obesity. This report assessed the secular trends in the care of overweight and investigated the secular association between obesity with care of overweight in primary care and self-care of overweight. Cross-sectional evaluation of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III (1988-1994) and the Continuous NHANES (1999-2008) was employed; the total sample comprised 31,039 nonpregnant adults aged 20-90 years. The relationship between diagnosed overweight, and directed weight loss with time and obesity was assessed. Despite the combined secular increase in the prevalence of overweight and obesity (BMI >25.0 kg/m(2)) between 1994 and 2008 (56.1-69.1%), there was no secular change in the odds of being diagnosed overweight by a physician when adjusted for covariates; however, overweight and obese individuals were 40 and 42% less likely to self-diagnose as overweight, and 34 and 41% less likely to self-direct weight loss in 2008 compared to 1994, respectively. Physicians were also significantly less likely to direct weight loss for overweight and obese adults with weight-related comorbidities across time (P < 0.05). Thus, the surveillance of secular trends reveals that the likelihood of physician- and self-care of overweight decreased between 1994 and 2008 and further highlights the deficiencies in the management of excess weight.

Article: Quantifying the Effects of Body Mass Index on Safety: Reliability of a Video Coding Procedure and Utility of a Rhythmic Walking Task[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and motor actions related to safety risks (primary aim), and to examine the reliability of a video coding procedure and the utility of a rhythmic walking task in identifying safety risks (secondary aims). Using a cross-sectional design, participants were filmed during a rhythmic walking task at slow, normal, and fast audio metronome paces. A video coding procedure was used to quantify signs of safety risks from the videotaped sessions. Motor development laboratory in a university. Adults (N=32) with normal (n=15) and overweight (n=17) BMI scores participated. Not applicable. Chi-squared analyses were conducted to compare the occurrence of coded motor actions (forward and lateral tripping) between participants with normal and overweight BMI scores. A kappa coefficient was computed as a measure of interrater reliability on the video codes. Participants who were overweight exhibited more safety risks compared with participants with normal BMI scores at the slow (χ(2)(1,N=32)=3.94, P<.05, d=.75) and fast (χ(2)(1,N=32)=3.85, P<.05, d=.74) metronome paces. Interrater reliability was high (κ=.90, P<.01). In support of the primary aim, the findings show a relationship between overweight BMI scores and safety risks. Toward the secondary aims, the results demonstrate that a video coding procedure can be reliably used to assess safety risks and that creating tasks appropriate for assessing safety risks in overweight adults is needed.Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation 01/2012; 93(4):728-30.

Article: Rationale, design, methodology and sample characteristics for the family partners for health study: A cluster randomized controlled study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Young children who are overweight are at increased risk of becoming obese and developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease later in life. Therefore, early intervention is critical. This paper describes the rationale, design, methodology, and sample characteristics of a 5-year cluster randomized controlled trial being conducted in eight elementary schools in rural North Carolina, United States. The first aim of the trial is to examine the effects of a two-phased intervention on weight status, adiposity, nutrition and exercise health behaviors, and self-efficacy in overweight or obese 2nd, 3 rd, and 4th grade children and their overweight or obese parents. The primary outcome in children is stabilization of BMI percentile trajectory from baseline to 18 months. The primary outcome in parents is a decrease in BMI from baseline to 18 months. Secondary outcomes for both children and parents include adiposity, nutrition and exercise health behaviors, and self-efficacy from baseline to 18 months. A secondary aim of the trial is to examine in the experimental group, the relationships between parents and children's changes in weight status, adiposity, nutrition and exercise health behaviors, and self-efficacy. An exploratory aim is to determine whether African American, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white children and parents in the experimental group benefit differently from the intervention in weight status, adiposity, health behaviors, and self-efficacy.A total of 358 African American, non-Hispanic white, and bilingual Hispanic children with a BMI ≥ 85th percentile and 358 parents with a BMI ≥ 25 kg/m² have been inducted over 3 1/2 years and randomized by cohort to either an experimental or a wait-listed control group. The experimental group receives a 12-week intensive intervention of nutrition and exercise education, coping skills training and exercise (Phase I), 9 months of continued monthly contact (Phase II) and then 6 months (follow-up) on their own. Safety endpoints include adverse event reporting. Intention-to-treat analysis will be applied to all data. Findings from this trial may lead to an effective intervention to assist children and parents to work together to improve nutrition and exercise patterns by making small lifestyle pattern changes.
