Uncommon Act of Design: The Secret of Getting Kids to Eat Veggies? Move the Salad Bar
A new study out of Cornell produces bigger results than any food revolution or food-policy change could hope for.
Lately, Jamie Oliver's become a saint in his quest to change our attitudes towards food. And the White House and Michelle Obama have been flogging the idea of local produce, while making noise about changes in food policy, which gives woefully sums to big corn and red-meat farmers and contributes to making us fat.
But what if getting kids to eat more veggies is simpler than that? Like, waaaaaay simpler?
Laura Smith, a researcher at the Cornell Food and Brand Lab, has discovered that simply changing the placement of a middle school's salad bar can cause a spike in veggie consumption.
What would your guess be on that spike? 15% 25%? 50%?
Try 250-300%. That's not a typo.
Smith basically discovered what Sizzler's known for decades. Instead of relegating the salad bar to the wall, she moved it four feet, so that it's in front of the cash registers. (As far as Sizzler is concerned, note that it's more profitable to fill people up on veggies, since they're cheaper and higher margin than steaks.)
"By the end of the year, this even led to 6% more kids eating school lunches," Smith said. "It's basic behavioral economics. We made it easier for them to make the right choice."
That, of course, opens up a fat opportunity for architects and designers: You can make people healthier simply by redesigning cafeterias, so that healthier options are easier to access and more prominent — not to mention, as we previously reported, turning corridors into inviting, creative spaces. Now get to work!

This is very interesting. As someone who has worked within school design for many years, specialising in the link between learning / working / dining etc and space, this is one of the first times I've seen such a direct and large, measurable correlation between a spatial intervention and a core policy agenda within a school context.
Thanks to to Randy Deutsch for the book recommendation, looks like an interesting read.
This is my take on the whole subject:
Tom Weaver
Director, Flywheel
"Uncommon?" The book, Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness by Richard H. Thaler and Prof. Cass R. Sunstein, covered this exact topic and provided reasons why and how placement of food within cafeterias impact their consumption. See the book or this presentation (esp. see slide 9) http://www.slideshare.net/sgmi...
Stan, not sure what you mean by "crappy photoshopped picture." We spent months working to infiltrate the school system, posting a team of photojournalists--each posed as lunch ladies, custodial artists, or in one controversial case (that we ultimately deemed insensitive), a special needs student--in strategic schools around the country. After six months of having these photogs in the field, we assembled a team of editors, design experts, lawyers, professional chefs, and organic farmers to weigh the merits of literally thousands of photos we captured at and around school salad bars. In the end, we decided on one image that we thought captured the essence of this story. That is the picture you see above.
Here's another 'easy' tip. Remove bad choices. Sodas, candy, cookies and chips should not be offered at schools level k-9. We had excellent lunches when I was in school and no junk food was available.
Chris Reich
It kinda makes sense... supermarkets have been doing this for years.

Annette Osborne: Southwest trip takes family's breath away
Every summer we camp with our three children, and the Southwest was our destination this past June.
We visited Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The landscapes were unlike anything we had ever seen before, and the trip easily became one of our favorites we've had so far.
Our camping tour began with Bryce Canyon and its beautiful hoodoos. Our first look down into the canyon took our breath away.
"This is the first canyon I've ever been to," my son, Jonah, solemnly shared.
Our youngest, Davey, also gave his stamp of approval, "This is so cool! It's the best camping trip ever!" These are words every parent longs to hear on vacation.
Looking down on the hoodoos from the rim is only part of the experience. Hiking down into the canyon and walking through them is a must to fully appreciate their beauty. We hiked the Queens/Navajo Loop dubbed the world's best 3-mile hike, and it didn't disappoint. Our necks ached from gazing up and admiring the red rock giants and the contrast of bright blue sky against them.
Our next stop was Zion National Park. The drive into the park alone is a stunner with varying shades of red rock as far as the eye could see. The heat here in summer is overwhelming and the cold Virgin River provides the only escape. We set up camp and then spent the afternoon sitting in chairs in the water to keep cool. Heaven on Earth.
Our first full day we hiked the Narrows, a gorge carved out of the canyon by the Virgin River. We made our way up the canyon, in and out of the water, with sheer rock walls jutting up 2,000 feet on either side of us, sometimes only 20 to 30 feet across. The water was usually knee or thigh high, but sometimes up to our chest. In a word, it was awesome. We slept like the dead that night.
The next few mornings we biked along the Pa'rus trail that meanders along the Virgin River, perfect for jumping in to cool off when needed. We hiked to Weeping Rock, a lush garden sanctuary thriving in the midst of a dry, arid landscape and the Upper pools, another pocket of green beauty nestled among all that red rock.
The hot afternoons were reserved for water play. We rented inner tubes one day and floated down the river together. It was a three-hour adventure filled with a few mini-rapids and some lazy, slow stretches in between. The water was typically knee high and very kid friendly, but we still saw tubes overturned, a lost flip-flop, and some scraped shins along the way. All ingredients for a very exciting afternoon.
The last stop along our tour was the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, always a stunner. We were tired and in need of rest by this leg of the journey, so we chose to hike along the rim and admire the view from the top rather than venture into the canyon.
We took a beautiful hike out to Bright Angel point at sunset one night. We held tightly to our children's hands as the steep canyon fell away on either side of us as we walked the narrow path. It was humbling to realize how very small we were compared to such depths.
Everyone told us we would blown away by the beauty of Bryce, Zion and Grand Canyon, and they were absolutely right. We have never witnessed such supernatural beauty and adventure, and it's an absolute must see if you've never been.
Traveling is a crazy bug. Each trip whets your appetite to see and do more. We were encouraged at how well our kids handled such a long drive that we feel ready to take on some longer treks. We've set our sights on Yellowstone next year, a first again for all of us. The campsites are already booked.

Dr. Stephen Knohl, a nephrologist at Upstate Medical University, shares more tips for fending off kidney stones. Steady fluid intake is the first step, especially for those who have a history of kidney stones. But not all fluids are equal. Alcohol, dark-colored sodas and juices with high fructose corn syrup are not good choices. Other things to limit: salt and animal protein.

Amund my first paragraph was more about the general trend. I did not address Soth's work until the second paragraph. However if one has to view someone's whole body of work in order to "get it" doesn't that mean that each photograph individually does not communicate its meaning?
The biggest problem I have with the school of mundanity, is that in a time when countless billions of images can be created a day, and when we are bombarded with these images in an ever increasing rate, shouldn't there at least be some desireable standards or attributes? Is merely volume the goal, expediency the means today? Whatever happened to the goal of creating an image that was "special", was that just too hard or too time consuming for so many contemporary photographers? I really want to know, because I struggle with keeping the all out effort I do when I see that the accepted standards seem so far below that.

Sean Kugler stressed the moment he was hired at UTEP's head football coach that character counts, and every personnel move he's made since has reinforced that.
The Miners announced a recruiting class of three junior college transfers and one high school player Wednesday, a group that includes a Marine who served four tours of duty and earned 12 ribbons in the process.
The former Marine is tight end Nick Jones, who caught 17 passes for 214 yards last season at Erie Community College in Kugler's hometown of Buffalo, N.Y. The other junior college transfers are defensive tackle Alex Villarreal of Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, a former Oklahoma State signee, and linebacker Jimmy Musgrave of Victor Valley College in California, a former walk-on at Oregon who played two years for the Ducks scout team.
The high school player is tight end Sterling Napier of Rio Rancho Cleveland High School near Albuquerque. He has already graduated and will participate in spring practice.
With Jones, UTEP keeps its military presence, as linebacker Michael Kelley, who served three tours with the Army, used up his eligibility this fall.
"Four tours, well decorated, he can pick up where Sarge (Kelley) left off," Kugler said. "We lost two tight ends (Craig Wenrick and Kevin Perry to graduation) and he can fit right in."
Jones' awards in the military include the combat action ribbon, the humanitarian ribbon, and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement medal. He also won the 2013 Top WNY Junior College Football Scholar Athlete award for excellence in college football and academics.
UTEP also addressed two of its most immediate needs on the defensive line and at linebacker.
"I can bring leadership, lead by example," Jones said. "I can show how to work hard and how to have fun in the moment while doing it. I like El Paso, it's a laid-back city, not a big city, I can play and focus on school and ball. The coaches were really genuine."
As for coming to a military city, he said, "I can shop at the commissary, tax-free groceries."
Musgrave was an American Division Mountain Conference first-team selection after leading the league with 9.4 tackles per game and finishing fourth in sacks with eight.
He was also an all-district running back at Silverado High School in California.
"UTEP were the ones more after me in recruiting, and when I went up there on the visit, I liked the area, I was impressed not just with El Paso but with UTEP as well," Musgrave said.
As for what he brings to the Miners, "Hard-nosed, I want to work to make the defense one of the best in the nation," he said. "It's all about practice and preparation and it's all year long."
"He's a high-motor guy, highly productive," Kugler said. "He can tackle, he can tackle for loss and sacks. He's a well-rounded athlete. We're excited about getting him in our program. He can come in and compete right away."
Villarreal won't compete in the spring as he is facing surgery on a torn pectoral muscle that limited him last year, but will be here to rehab it. The tackle was a three-star recruit out of high school and an Oklahoma State signee who didn't gain eligibility. He was an All-Southwest Junior College Football Conference honorable mention in 2012.
Villarreal had 80 tackles in 2012 and 46 in nine games last year.
"He's an extremely talented guy, he signed with Oklahoma State originally, he had an extremely productive freshman year," Kugler said. "He has great size, quickness and athleticism. We're excited he's coming here."
Napier was a productive star tight end who caught 43 passes for 682 yards this year, leading his third-ranked team to an 11-2 record. He was his district's player of the year and a member of the Albuquerque Football Coaches Association's All-Metro first team.
"He's a great kid, he came down to our El Paso camp and we offered him here," Kugler said. "We're losing two good tight ends and we're replacing them with two good tight ends."
The next big day for UTEP is national signing day on Feb. 5. The Miners still have 18 scholarships to give and have 14 commitments so far.
"It's going well, the coaches are doing a great job, working hard," Kugler said.
They get to show the final results of that work in six weeks.

Geography Bee – or Are You Smarter Than an Eighth Grader?
Today was the National Geographic State Geography Bee, and for the third year in a row, Matthew got to go. Even getting to the state bee itself is quite an accomplishment as it means you've won the competition at your middle school, then taken the test that all school winners take, and are selected as one of the top 100 kids in the state. Matthew has always been a huge fan of geography, and it's been extremely gratifying to see him have success in this.
The first part of the state competition is the preliminaries where each contestant is asked 8 questions. The top 10 kids move on to the finals with a tie-breaker round used if necessary to get to the 10. This year, Matthew was one of 12 kids who got all eight of their preliminary round questions correct, so he went into the tie-breaker round. Although this was the second year in a row where it had happened, my understanding is that it's more common that the tie breaker round consists of kids who got 7 of 8, with fewer than 10 kids typically getting all 8 right.
Matthew survived the tie-breaker round, getting both questions correct and moved on to the finals just as he had last year. Once there, his goal was just to improve on his position of last year (tied for fifth), and he did just that – this year tying for fourth in the state. Needless to say, we're very proud of him.
The final round moved fast enough that I wasn't able to get down all of Matthew's questions, but I did manage to write down the ones he faced in the preliminaries and tie breaker round. So, how many would you have gotten right?
Preliminary round
1. Death Valley is located on border between California and which other state – Nevada or Illinois?
2. Which city is more populous – Indianapolis or Chicago?
3. Which country experiences colder winters – Cambodia or Mongolia.
4. Which island country is not in the Pacific – Samoa, Vanuatu, or Mauritius?
5. In October 2012, archeologists announced the discovery of Viking artifacts such as yarn and wet stones on Baffin Island in what North American country?
6. The syncretic religion of Santeria, also known as Regla de Ocha developed in this, the largest of the countries in the Greater Antilles. Name it.
7. From the 16th to the 18th century, Poland was united with what present day country whose capital city is Vilnius?
8. This capital city is the legislative capital and seat of parliament for South Africa and is overlooks the Table Bay. Name it.
And here are the tie breaker questions:
1. The Seikan Tunnel connects Hokkaido and Honshu in what island country?
2. Name the southernmost country in the Balkan Peninsula
Our Kids are Incomparable
As a parent, you quickly learn that your kids are going to surprise you more often than you think. You just hope that there are more positive surprises than negative ones. We had a positive one recently that I thought I'd share.
Over the last couple of years, our son and daughter have become fans of several podcasts. In particular, they really love The Incomparable and on the 5by5 podcast network and the MacWorld podcast – especially the Pundit Showdown episodes which they find hilarious. I can't tell you how many times they've listened to the Star Wars episodes of the former, but they practically have them memorized.
About a week ago, my wife and I went out to dinner. When we got home, the kids told us they had recorded their own podcast episode. It's in the style of The Incomparable where they completely dissect The Princess Bride. Nobody but their parents will likely listen to the whole thing, but it just tickled me to see how they imitated something they love.
Prayer of Confession
Sometimes, you see a prayer that just speaks to how you're feeling. At church today, this one seemed to have been written with me in mind:
You asked for my hands, that you might use them for your purpose.
I gave them for a moment, but withdrew them, for the work was hard.
You asked for my mouth to speak against injustice.
I gave you a whisper that I might not be accused.
You asked for my eyes to see the pain of poverty.
I closed them, for I did not want to see.
You asked for my life, that you might work through me.
I gave a small part that I might not get too involved.
Lord, forgive my calculated efforts to serve you-
only when it is convenient for me to do so,
only when in those places where it is safe to do so,
and only with those who make it easy to do so.
Father, forgive me, renew me, send me out, as a usable instrument,
That I might take seriously the meaning of your cross.
Peanut Butter Fritos
My lovely wife Julie discovered this recipe a few years ago and it's been a family (and friend) favorite ever since. Based just on the title, it's hard to believe that these could taste as good as they do. But taste good they most certainly do. And they're very easy to make.
* 1 Family sized bag of Frito's Scoops
* 1/2 cup light corn syrup
* 1/2 cup sugar (or Splenda)
* 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif is our favorite)
1. Lay Fritos out on wax paper bowl side up
2. Combine corn syrup and sugar in a pan and bring to a boil.
3. As soon as the boiling begins, remove from heat and stir in peanut butter
4. Drizzle on top of Fritos using a pasta utensil or slotted spoon
We frequently double the above recipe if we're sharing beyond the family, but the above would serve 8-10 people.
Where this madness is headed
The news of the week (Texas A&M leaving the Big 12 for the SEC) seems to have everyone convinced that we're just a short time away from having 4 super conferences of 16 teams each. And I fear that the conventional wisdom is right on this one. I fear it because it is madness.
Consider a hypothetical 16 team Big Ten that adds Missouri, Pittsburgh, Texas, and Rutgers. The league would be split into two 8 team divisions with the conference winner determined by a championship game. So far, so good. But think about the schedule for a bit – especially if Ohio State and Michigan are kept in separate divisions (itself a form a madness, but that's another post). Every year, Ohio State would almost certainly play the other 7 teams in it's division plus maintain the guaranteed matchup with Michigan. That's 8 games from your 12 game schedule.
What do you do with the other 4 games? Today, everyone plays 4 non-conference games per year. But if that holds, or even if it's reduced to a mere 3 non-conference games, then there will be teams in Ohio State's conference that it never plays or only plays home-and-home against once every decade and a half or so (conference schedules are usually set 2 years at a time where year 2 flips the home/away designation of year 1). What's the point of having Michigan State and Ohio State in the same conference if they almost never play each other? **UPDATE – it occurs to me that if you have 3 non-conference games per year, and given OSU's habit of scheduling in-state schools, you might see Ohio State playing Akron more frequently than it does a conference opponent**
We could solve this particular problem by having even more conference games, but that too is a problem on two fronts. First, it would be an economic hit to the powerful schools like Ohio State that have gotten used to having at least 7 home games per year. Second, it would all but eliminate the marquee non-conference match ups that are such a perfect balance to the regional conference action. Say goodbye to Ohio State taking on Texas, Miami, USC, and the like. And that would be a shame.
The only option left is to increase the number of games in the schedule. If you had 13 or 14 games per year, you'd still be able to have a good blend of conference and non-conference action. But would the university presidents ever agree to this? The cynic in me says they might, but that would go against most of what they've said about protecting the integrity of the student athlete.
I'm not sure I see a way out of this. I'm hoping the Big Ten is smart enough to stay at its current 12 teams. Even that feels a bit large to me, but I vastly prefer it to the madness that would be a 16 team league.
Is government getting bigger?
The talk of the day seems to be about the latest jobs report from the Government Bureau of Labor Statistics that shows a worrying employment situation in the US. In short, though total employment grew by 18000 jobs, that's nowhere near enough to keep up with population growth and the net result was a rise in overall unemployment. The political classes are going to spin this as is their custom. But this caught my eye:
I'd actually argue that creating jobs – at least in the short term – is almost by definition one thing that big government is good at. The Republican charge of "big government" liberalism is as old as Republicanism itself of course, but is it true in the current situation? This is an answerable question. The BLS allows you pull the stats for government employment over time. And here's a chart from that data:
In short – government is getting smaller under Obama, not larger. At least as measured in terms of employment.
A New Chapter
Throughout the course of a life and career, everyone goes through many phases. Sometimes, the transitions can only be recognized with the benefit of hindsight – like the growing realization that the first 35 years of your life spent without the benefit of hot sauce was a missed opportunity. In other cases, you realize what's going on as it's happening. Such is true with me now.
For the last few years, I've worked full time trying to build Resort Gems into a growth site. Although that work is not completely done, the "combat operations" portion is drawing to a close for me. But, starting on August 15, I'll be moving on and going to work for Edgecase.
I have long admired Edgecase as a company. I became aware of the company in late 2007 while still working at AOL. A small group of artisans working in Columbus on the hottest new subfield of web application development – Ruby on Rails. For the last few years, it's been a joy to work alongside them – first in a client/vendor relationship and later as people sharing the same office (our company has sublet space from them at the coolest office building in Columbus). Now it will be my supreme pleasure to join them and work alongside a world class team a colleagues.
I have been absolutely blessed in my career to have several great jobs – all of which I have loved (with the possible exception of my newspaper route when I was 14). My time with VacationView will remain among the best professional experiences I could possibly hope for. But, for now, it's time to move on to the next chapter.

Daily Chat: Stupid — can't fix it, can't drown it
SAN ANGELO, Texas - From yesterday — "...Fire Department personnel pulled three people from a van that tried to drive on Pulliam Street under the railroad overpass and that other vehicles tried to drive around the rescue vehicle into the flood.
"When an emergency vehicle is parked sideways in a street doing a rescue, don't pull around it," Long said."
I know we don't get that much rain, and when we do, it tends to come in large quantity. Which, in an above ground drainage system, causes some roads to become active in this second job they have — that of being not just roads, but drainage components for the city's water.
Despite warnings, and in the above case — well, I don't know what to call that in polite company.
Is it possible to completely protect people from themselves? Is that something we even need to do? When city treasure and resources are used to rescue the common sense challenged, should they be charged or just a "here's your sign" that you are forced to wear? What do you think?

Employers posted fewer jobs, but hired more
Published September 10, 2013 4:29 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
WASHINGTON • U.S. employers advertised fewer jobs in July but hired more workers, a mixed sign that suggests only modest improvement in the job market.
The Labor Department says job openings fell 180,000 in July to 3.7 million. That's down from 3.9 million the previous month, which was revised lower.
Overall hiring increased to 4.4 million, up from 4.3 million in June and 4.17 million a year ago.
The job market remains tight. There were 3.1 unemployed people competing for each open job. In a healthy economy the ratio is 2 to 1.
On Friday, the government said employers added 169,000 jobs in August and many fewer in the previous two months. The unemployment rate fell to 7.3 percent, but only because more people gave up looking for work.

Re: disn needs reallignment after being hitdcd Dec 30, 2013 1:03 PM (in response to joeybrug)
Aligning a Slimline (or any other) dish from scratch can be a daunting task. However it can be done if you're patient. Go to www.dishpointer.com and determine the magnetic azimuth, elevation and tilt settings for your location. Use a level to assure that your mast is perfectly plumb. Set the elevation and tilt to the markings on the dish. Use a compass and set the azimuth about 10 degrees East of the recommended magnetic setting. Tune your receiver to display the signal strengths on the 101 satellite, then choose the green signal bars from the link in the lower right corner of the signal screen. Slowly, a degree at a time, move the dish to the West until you get signals on the 101 satellite. All 32 (with a few of exceptions) of the transponders should light up. Fine tune for maximum signal. Lock down the main bolts.
At this point a procedure called "dithering" is employed to fine tune to the 101 satellite. You can try skipping this and going to the next step.
Tune your receiver to display the signal strengths on the 99c satellite, then choose the green signal bars from the link in the lower right corner of the signal screen. Use a level to plumb the dish mast (essential) Tighten the main clamps
and loosen the fine tuning apparatus on one axis at a time. Have someone watch (cell phones are handy to advise) while you adjust the fine tuning screw on the azimuth setting. Go slow, only tiny amounts will make a big difference.
You'll soon know if you're going the wrong way and a couple of turns will likely max out the improvement. Lock the bolts and do elevation next. It should not be necessary to adjust the tilt. You should be able to get the signals into the 90's quite easily.

My First Sale by Madeline Hunter, A Million Tiny Steps Before...
Madeline Hunter is famous for her rich detailed works. There's not a wallpaper historical in her catalog of books. Last year's publication, Rules of Seduction, was one of my favorites in 2007. Hunter's latest release, Lessons of Desire, is out now and can be purchased in paperback or in ebook format at Books on Board.
I am sure that there are writers who have unusual first sale stories. The slam-dunk wonders certainly do. Or at least I always thought so. Since it took me so long to make my first sale I just assumed it took everyone that long. The common wisdom says it does.
Then I went on a signing tour with a dozen other writers. We found ourselves one day in a library, doing a panel discussion on writing. The first question was about our first sale.
I was sitting in the middle of that long table. To my amazement, every writer ahead of me described how she had sold her first manuscript. Not how she made her first sale, but how that first sale had been of her very first manuscript written. Ever. I was impressed. Dumbfounded. What were the odds all these slam-dunk wonders would be gathered in one place?
The microphone was handed to me. I looked out on the audience. I thought about making up a story. Something like:
I'd never written anything before but one day I had an idea for a story so I just sat down and wrote the book of my heart. Then I figured, what the heck, I'll send it to a publisher. Lo and behold three weeks later this editor called me and offered me a gazillion dollars and . . . .
After all, it was what the audience wanted to hear. They were mostly aspiring novelists.
Instead I took a deep breath and told the truth. "I wrote a million words before I sold."
I am one of the writers who waited and waited, who wrote and wrote, who received so many rejections it started becoming funny. My first sale fulfilled every warning, prediction, clichÃÂ ©, and exhortation that unpublished writers hear. I am a poster child for the following truths:
1) Tenacity is Everything.
I began writing seriously in 1996. By seriously I mean that I wrote regularly, I completed manuscripts and I wanted to get published. I had been writing in other ways for years before that. It took me three years, six completed manuscripts and two long partials, and many rewrites and edits before I got the call. Like I said in that panel, a million words. I never counted my rejections—too depressing—but I collected an impressive stack of them from every publisher in the business.
2) A Sale Depends on the Right Manuscript Getting on the Right Editor's Desk at the Right Time.
I can vouch for this one too. The manuscript that first sold had been turned down by a good number of other editors. Some thought it was horrible, and were very explicit in explaining how. Others loved it but could not fit it in their list for one reason or another. Eventually it was bought by an editor who loved it so much that she fought to give me a big push and a major launch. Although bought first it was actually published second, and is titled By Possession.
3) Luck Plays a Big Role in Getting Published.
It sort of scares me how much luck was involved in my sale. I was getting rejections and decided to attend a conference—my first one—just to see if it might help. I received two appointments with editors. One of them, the one who eventually bought my book, rarely attended regional conferences and decided to attend this one at the last minute. She wasn't even on the editor list.
I totally blew the interview, by the way. Trust me, I was an idiot. I could hear myself babbling. So I cut it short. I had 7 precious minutes to pitch my book and after 3 I stopped talking because I assumed I would only make a bad situation worse if I kept going.
She asked to see it anyway. She ended up buying it.
What if I hadn't gone? What if she hadn't been there? What if I had pitched a different book (I had 6, after all)? What if. . . .See what I mean? Scary.
4) You Need an Agent Who Loves Your Work.
I sure did. After all, she represented me through years of rejections. I doubt she took me on thinking it would take so long. Every submission was money out of her pocket and an act of trust that one day this would pay off. The truth is, she believed in my work more than I did.
5) Getting the Call is One of the Most Exciting Days of Your Life.
My call came from my agent. You know how there is "jump up and down" excited? This was not that. This was bigger. This was "stunned while the world froze and mind emptied" excited. I was in a state of mild shock for about two weeks. The only thing I remember from that period is drinking a lot of champagne. My husband kept insisting on toasts whenever we told anyone. Gee, maybe I wasn't in shock after all. Maybe I was just high.
6) After the Call, Everything Changes.
Post shock, reality created some interesting psychological issues for me. For example, rather suddenly every creative thought left my head and I was sure I would never have another one again. The first book that I wrote under contract was the most difficult book of my career. I was still writing because I loved it, but it had also become a job. It took me a while to deal with some that these changes. The thing about a dream is that it is. . .a dream. Having a dream come true can be a daunting experience.
I don' t usually tell beginning writers my story, unless I find myself on one of those panels. I am afraid it will be too depressing. Although maybe not, because it ended well. I do often tell it to writers who are waiting and working and dreaming like I was not all that long ago.
They already know that they won't be slam-dunk wonders. I figure it might help them to know that all those truths up there really are true.

They commonly call us a "Youth Hostel" because that's how places much like Canadiana Backpackers first got started. Hostels originally catered only to young travellers more than four decades ago. Times have changed. And just how old is "youth"?
The Canadiana Backpackers Inn is a "family friendly" hostel. We have hosted travellers from eight months to eighty years of age. We find the hostel a more interesting place to be when there is a diverse range of guests–diverse in culture, age, outlook on life etc, etc…..
We've hosted young groups such as the Manchester Boy's Choir and a Boy Scout Troop from Scotland. And we have lodged a lot of young (under 30) travellers on "work visa's". It's a reciprocal program between Commonwealth countries allowing young people to work for a year in another country.
Something new happened this week. We had an older but vibrant couple from New Zealand whom, after retirement, decided to set off on yet another adventure. Pat and his wife Gayel ("spell my name right") Paterson, pulled up stakes and rented their home (for at least, a year) and headed for the UK!
Both Gayel and Pat had successful careers in the New Zealand civil service; she as a teacher and he as a real estate evaluator, They plan to work in Britain and save enough money to fulfil another ambition. They want to do volunteer work in a less priviliged country; to give back if you will.
So, "Youth Hostels" are not only for the young. A "working holiday" is not reserved only for youths. The simple fact is that definitions are changing in the 21st Century. It is people just like Gayel and Pat that have changed those definitions.
We wish them both well and we are sure that they will succeed in what they do. They are two people who understand that life can and should be a grand adventure, and for them, the next adventure is just beginning.

The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribe on the Flathead Indian Reservation in western Montana held council elections in mid-December. The winds of change must of been blowing hard that day.
As Vince Devlin of the Missoulian reports, four of five incumbents were voted out of office.
The CSKT council consists of 10 seats come up for election every two years. Once the councilors are seated, they choose a chairman.
PABLO – Tribal government on the Flathead Indian Reservation will take on a decidedly different look Friday, when the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Council elects a new leader and four new council members are sworn in.
Voters last month turned four of five incumbents out of office, including Tribal Chairman E.T. "Bud" Moran.
Only council member Terry Pitts of Dixon was able to hang onto his job, defeating challenger Anita L. Orr Matt 659-626.
Every other incumbent went down to defeat. The casualties included both Moran, who represented the Pablo District, and former Chairman James Steele Jr. of Arlee.
"I've said before that Jimmy the Greek would have lost his shorts in a tribal election," said former CSKT Chairman Fred Matt, who himself lost a 2006 council race that cost him the leadership position. "I can't see any rhyme or reason to why it happens. There were no hot-button issues. I really think a large number of people just vote to change. They don't always have a specific reason."

|Changes in QT intervals in patients with end-stage renal disease before and after hemodialysis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20427869 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Increased dispersion of QT intervals is known to predispose to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. To assess the effect of hemodialysis (HD) on QT and corrected QT (QTc) intervals and their dispersions in chronic hemodialyzed patients we studied 85 patients (male/female = 48/37; mean age 44 +/- 17 year) on chronic hemodialysis. Simultaneous 12-lead ECG was recorded before and after HD in a standard setting. The QT intervals for each lead were measured manually by one observer using calipers. Each QT interval was corrected for heart rate: QTc= QT/ mean square root of R-R (in milliseconds [ms]). ECG parameters, body weight, blood pressure, heart rate, electrolytes (Na+, K+, Ca++, phosphate), urea, and creatinine were measured before and after HD. The mean of pre and post dialysis cycle intervals was 828 +/- 132 ms and 798 +/- 122 ms respectively; the difference was not significant. The mean of QTmax intervals changed significantly from 446 +/- 47 to 465 +/- 72 ms (P < 0.05). The mean of corrected QTcmax intervals increased significantly from 472 +/- 38 to 492 +/- 58 ms (P < 0.05). The mean of QT dispersions and the corrected QT interval dispersions changed from 60 +/- 29 to 76 +/- 32 ms (P < 0.05) from 72 +/- 46 to 98 +/- 56 ms (P < 0.05), respectively. During HD, the serum potassium and phosphate levels decreased whereas the calcium levels increased. We conclude that QT and QTc interval and dispersion increase in HD patients.

Description: Justin and Martin are sat at home, bored and wanting something exciting to do. When Justin leans and kisses his friend, Martin can't wait to take his clothes off and feel his smooth toned body. Martin sucks Justin's nipples, and Justin is so hot, that he peels Martin clothes off. Martin's cock is hard and stiff and his friend licks and sucks the thick white meat. The blow job is so lovely that Martin wants to return the compliment. He removes Justin's undies, and begins to lick his friend's swollen shaft, stroking his own shaft up and down. Martin loves the taste of cock, and stops jerking himself, and concentrates on sucking Justin's dick.

Gentile Bellini
Gentile Bellini (c. 1429 – February 23, 1507) was an Italian painter. From 1474 he was the official portrait artist for the Doges of Venice.
Gentile was born into a family of renowned painters: his father Jacopo Bellini, was a Venetian pioneer in the use of oil paint as an artistic medium; his acclaimed brother was Giovanni Bellini, and his brother-in-law Andrea Mantegna. He was christened Gentile after Jacopo's master, Gentile da Fabriano.[1] Gentile was taught painting in the workshop of his father. Although today Gentile is often seen in the shadow of his more famous family members, in his own time he was considered among the greatest living painters in Venice and had no shortage of commissions; his talent as a portraitist revealed itself at an early age.
Gentile's earliest signed work is The Blessed Lorenzo Giustinian (1445), one of the oldest surviving oil paintings in Venice (now at the Accademia Museum). During the 1450s Bellini worked on a commission for the Scuola Grande di San Marco and painted in conjunction with his brother, Giovanni Bellini. From 1454 he was also the official portrait artist for the Doges of Venice,[2] (for example, see image of the Doge Giovanni Mocenigo at right).
Much of Gentile Bellini's surviving work consists of very large paintings for public buildings, including those for the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista. Along with Lazzaro Bastiani, Vittore Carpaccio, Giovanni Mansueti and Benedetto Rusconi, Bellini was one of the artists of hired to paint the 10-painting narrative cycle known as The Miracles of the Relic of the Cross. The commission was intended to celebrate the relic of the Holy Cross which the confraternity had received in 1369. Gentile's contributions include the Procession of the True Cross in Piazza San Marco, which dates from 1496, and the Miracle of the True Cross at the S. Lorenzo Bridge, dating from 1500 and featuring Gentile's self-portrait and that of his brother Giovanni.
Bellini and the East[edit]
Venice was, at that time, a very important point in which cultures and trade bordered on the eastern Mediterranean Sea and provided gateways to Asia and Africa. As noted, in his lifetime, Gentile was the most prestigious painter in Venice. Therefore, in 1479, he was chosen by the government of Venice to work for Sultan Mehmed II in Constantinople. However, in addition to his work at the Ottoman Court, Gentile's work also responded to other aspects of the East, including the Byzantine Empire.
In September 1479 Gentile was sent by the Venetian Senate to the new Ottoman capital Islanbul as part of the peace settlement between Venice and the Turks. His role was not only as a visiting painter in an exotic locale, but also as a cultural ambassador for Venice.[3] This was important to Mehmed II, as he was particularly interested in the art and culture of Italy, and he attempted on several occasions to have himself portrayed by Italian artists. He finally reached his goal with Gentile,[4] who is believed to have painted the portrait of Mehmed II now in the National Gallery, London, (but largely overpainted). It has been noticed that the portrait is like one of the figures in a painting by Marco Palmezzano, Jesus among the Doctors in the Temple (Brisighella, near Forlì and Ravenna). So the dating and authorship of the portrait by Bellini have been placed in question.[5]
Subsequently an Oriental flavour appears in several of his paintings, including the portrait of a Turkish artist and St. Mark Preaching at Alexandria (above). The last was completed by his brother, Giovanni Bellini.[6]
Gentile responded to other aspects of the East, including the Byzantine Greek Empire,[4] as well as Venice's other trading partners in North Africa and Levant. Venice had a long-established relationship with the Eastern Mediterranean. Saint Mark, Venice's patron, was from the Egyptian city of Alexandria, and Venice's cultural and spiritual centre – the basilica of San Marco – was built in his honor (and as his mausoleum) in the Greek Byzantine style. Although Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, the Greek Byzantine world had a continuing impact upon Venetian art and culture as a number of Greek Christians fled Muslim rule. It was here that Gentile painted the portrait of Queen Caterina Cornaro of Cyprus (at right). This is counted as the second known portrait including the queen, which is now in the collection of the Szepmuveszeti Museum in Budapest.[4]
Retirement years and legacy[edit]
Bellini's most important paintings, the monumental canvases in the Doge's Palace in Venice, were destroyed by fire in 1577. Only a few of his other works remain, namely the large narrative paintings The Procession in Piazza San Marco (above left) and The Preaching of Saint Mark in Alexandria (above right), produced in his final years. Little remains of Gentile's art from the 1470s and 1480s, except for the works made in Constantinople. Moreover, many workshop paintings and drawings have been assigned to Gentile Bellini. This has had the unfortunate consequence of confirming his reputation as an awkward artist, especially in comparison with his beloved brother Giovanni. Gentile's fall from popular favor seems to have begun shortly after his death; by 1557 Lodovico Dolce made a rather acerbic comment about him as an early teacher of Titian:
Titian could not bear to follow the dry and labored manner of Gentile... Because of this, leaving this awkward Gentile, Titian attached himself to Giovanni Bellini: but his style did not entirely please him either, and he sought out Giorgione.[7]
He was interred in the Basilica di San Giovanni e Paolo, a traditional burial place of the doges.
In recent years, Gentile has once again generated interest, especially in a recent spate of scholarly publications and exhibitions on the subject of cross-cultural exchange between Europe and the Levant.[8]

A few weeks ago, Stockbridge was sitting comfortably atop the Region 4-AAAA standing.But after losing four of its last five games, the Tigers are now in a fight to hold on to second place. North Clayton is currently the region leader. The Eagles are idle tonight before playing a non-region game against rival Riverdale Saturday. Stockbridge, which is 7-3 in the region, is a game behind in the nine-team league standing with Jonesboro currently in third with a 6-4 region record. North Clayton swept Jonesboro in the regular season, but still have two games against Dutchtown remaining. The earlier matchup between Dutchtown and North Clayton was postponed because of inclement weather. "I feel real good about the way we are playing right now," North Clayton senior guard Zach Bradley said. "We are playing like we want to win." There is an extra incentive in winning the regular season title this season as the champion gets an automatic berth into the state playoffs. The regular season champion will bypass most next month's region tournament by being placed in the semifinals. "This was a good idea for the coaches to help make the regular season meaningful," North Clayton coach Martisse Troup said. North Clayton is hoping to reach the state playoffs for the first time since advancing to the 2006 semifinals. The Cardinals lost a crucial game North Clayton Tuesday that could have forced a three-way tie at the top. After the loss, Cardinals coach Daniel Maehlman questioned the heart of his team. Jonesboro is the defending region champion, and nobody is ready to count the Cardinals out of the championship race. Coming into the season, Maehlman had to replace seven graduated seniors. At times, he has two freshmen in the lineup with a wave of new talent. "I'm not surprised they are near the top," Mount Zion coach Chris Jones said. "He does a lot with the less in this region. His kids always buy what he is selling. You can't count them out." A combination of an automatic berth and region parity should make for an exciting finish in the region. "I think it is still wide open," Mount Zion coach Chris Jones said. "There is a lot of parity in our region. We tell our guys to approach every game as if both teams have a zero-zero record. Everybody comes to play in the region each not. You can't rest on any night." That is the message that Stockbridge coach Duane Kelley is preaching to his team. Kelley said his team might have gotten a little complacent when it was leading the region. "We expected this to by a marathon, and not a sprint," Kelley said. "These next few weeks will be a character check for our team. You definitely find out what kind of character you have when your back is against the wall." And how does Kelley think his team will respond? "I like our chances," he said. "We are still in it. We stunk it up the last couple games because we didn't handle success well. It has been a humbling experience. We have to eliminate the mistakes, and the kids got caught watching Chris (Davis) making plays."
