What is yacon syrup, and how can it help you?
Diet and exercise, while vital aspects of a healthy lifestyle, can be difficult. But according to a Dr. Oz study, people trying to meet weight loss goals may be able to get a little dietary help.
LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook! Get Your Daily Medicine…For LIFE!
According to Dr. Oz, yacon syrup can help women lose up to 5 lbs. in four weeks. The syrup derives from South America, high in the Andes Mountains, and is considered to be a staple in the Peruvian diet. It is commonly used as a natural sweetener, effectively serving as a substitute for sugar in some ways. Yacon syrup is described as "candy in a jar" and is "similar to molasses," says Dr. Oz's study participants, averaging a total of seven calories per teaspoon with a high fiber content.
According to the International Potato Center, yacon syrup contains approximately 30 percent of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) — a type of fructo-polysaccharide used as an alternative sweetener — and also has low levels of simple sugars, such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose.
The human body does not have an enzyme to break down FOS, which causes it to pass through the digestive tract unmetabolized, providing few calories, Dr. Oz said. FOS acts as a soluble fiber that increases stool bulk to help prevent and even control constipation. It can help sufferers of metabolic syndrome combat high cholesterol and diabetes. As a probiotic, the syrup acts as food for "friendly" bacteria such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus in the small intestines and the colon.
To examine the effects of yacon syrup on a group of overweight women, Dr. Oz originally asked 60 female viewers of The Dr. Oz Show to consume one tablespoon of yacon syrup with or before each meal — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — for four weeks while not making any other changes in their diets or exercise habits. Out of the 60 female participants, only 40 completed the study trial.
Twenty-nine out of the 40 participants reported weight loss of some sort while 14 women lost 5 lbs. or more. The average weight loss among the female viewers was about 3 lbs. In addition, there was a 1.9-inch reduction in waist size, according to Dr. Oz. Overall, more than half of the participants would recommend yacon syrup as a weight loss tool.

Final Results
KENNESAW, Ga. -- Sophomore Nick Huggins (Marietta, Ohio/Marietta) claimed a top-25 finish as the Northern Illinois men's golf team completed its fall schedule with the final round of the Pinetree Intercollegiate on Tuesday. The Huskies posted a final round 302, the fourth-best round in the field, as they finished ninth at Pinetree Country Club. Host Kennesaw State claimed the team championship, shooting a final round 289 to finish the tournament with a four-under total of 860. Kennesaw State's Jimmy Beck had an even-par final round 72 to finish as individual medalist with a three-round total of 209 (-7). "It was a good way to end the fall season with one of our better rounds on a very good golf course, a very hard golf course," said NIU head coach Tom Porten. "The greens were very similar to the way they have been the last few days, very fast with some nasty hole locations, which is why the scores went up for most of the field. "We took a more conservative approach today, we tried to give ourselves more chances and I was pleased with what we did across the board. Griffin (Bauman) in particular had a strong day. Yesterday he had a tough day chipping around the greens but today he hit more greens, so he didn't have to worry about those shots from just off the green."Huggins carded a 77 in the final round, finishing tied for 23rd. The Marietta, Ohio, native moved up seven places in the third round after beginning the day in a tie for 30th.Senior Griffin Bauman (Crystal Lake, Ill./Central) had the best final round for the Huskies, carding a 73 to finish in a tie for 27th,moving up 23 positions after opening the day in a tie for 50th.Junior Shawn Foley (Pewaukee, Wis./Waukesha North) and sophomore Nick Schiavi (Barrlington, Ill./Barrington) each shot 76 in Tuesday's final round. Foley posted a 54-hole total of 233 to finish in a tie for 43rd while Schiavi's three-round total of 238 was good for a tie for 52nd.The Pinetree Intercollegiate concluded fall play for the Huskies, NIU returns to competitive action at the Mid-American Match Play in Lake Jovita, Fla., on Monday, Feb. 11, and Tuesday, Feb. 12.

People occasionally ask me about how bdsm & spirituality interact. This scene description is a lovely example of one of the ways that I see this happening.
posted by:
SF Bay Area
Re: Spirituality & bdsmMon, November 12, 2007 - 10:48 PMThat is a really good description of someone getting through a fear/anxiety loop that is built up around a particular phobia (that "can't" that the author talks about). It's not necessarily gonna work for every fear/anxiety loop, but it's a good tool to know about, and a good thing that someone is out there professionally dealing with these things.
For me, bdsm is more about the addition of endorphins to the rest of the biochemical coctail of orgasm than it is about facing fears regarding my own boundaries. Once I get my vibration up high enough with "vanilla" activities, I enjoy having the additional boost that a bit of pain enduces. But I don't think I want--or need--things piercing my flesh in that fashion.
I don't get off on the shame or slavery games, and I'm not real fond of anything that leaves public marks. Does that mean I don't "get it" when it comes to scenes such as this author described? Does this mean that I'm not into "real" bdsm? Or does it indicate that my healing needs are of a different quality/aspect than those blood-drawing activities can induce?
Re: Spirituality & bdsmWed, November 14, 2007 - 10:55 PM*shrug*
What bdsm is for me is such a wide range of things that I can't really describe them all in one simple post. Essentially, like tantra, it's an adjunct to my spiritual path.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmThu, November 15, 2007 - 7:54 PMYay for individuality!
Re: Spirituality & bdsmThu, November 15, 2007 - 9:16 PMFor this I go back to my potato chip metaphor. There are dozens of flavors/types of potato chip, designed to cater to the diversity of taste in the consumer. Not every chip appeals to every person. BDSM works for some...and for some very well. But it is not a cure all or panacea. Neither is Tantra or any other path. No one path is goona work or be appopriate for every single human being.That's why we have so many belief systems and paths to elightenment/heaven/nirvana/whatever.
BDSM works well for TeamNoir. It does not work for me. But I am happy for TN that he is able to use it to grow so much.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmThu, November 22, 2007 - 10:49 PMSo let me ask here:
What IS it about BDSM that makes it such a powerful tool for growth?
Is it people meeting their pain boundaries and going beyond them?
Is it people meeting their emotional boundaries and going beyone them?
Is it the ability to see new sides of yourself that you didn't know were there?
Is it the need for letting go of the ordinary perspective and get into the scene?
Am I missing something in my interpretation of other's reactions based on my own reactions to such situations?
Or am I missing the point entirely?
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSat, November 24, 2007 - 9:46 AMYes, all of these are involved for me and for many others.
But the real underlying factor is that it's a community of people, who are all similarly interested in exploring themselves, their relationships, and their world, who also have a shared value for personal development, for play, and where very little is actually taboo. It's a subculture devoted to all of this, including support networks, communal wisdom, classes, social events, play events, books, etc. Sex is allowed. Pain is allowed. Bondage is allowed. Turning pretty much any personal dynamic or social pattern you can think of on it's ear is allowed. It's socially encouraged, in many circles.
If you want to see what it's like to take lsd and role play fucking your 7yo sister, the bdsm community can help you learn how to go about that reasonably safely as well as helping you find suitable partners and put your head back together after you've freaked out from trying it. That level of acceptance, of the embracing of our humanity through play and through joy, is something I hear lip service to from tantric circles, pagan circles, etc, but which I've only seen actually practiced in the bdsm community.
I should be more clear. The bdsm community, like any other, has a range of people involved for a range of reasons. Not every bdsm player has an interest in self development. Many are simply there because they get their rocks off from doing something the rest of the world considers strange. However, there are a lot of people in the bdsm community not because they need to call someone "daddy" in order to get off, but rather because they want to see what happens if they mix big emotional archetypes like "daddy" with strong personal drives like sex. And the people who need to call someone "daddy" in order to get off are often the people who are teaching us how to do that.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSat, November 24, 2007 - 11:12 AMThe interesting thing about BDSM for me (and I have merely dabbled at the fringes of it) is the energy play involved. When it comes to events, I tend toward the voyeuristic end of things and I find that I can reach an energy high just watching a flogging or other intense scene as an observer.
I do wonder sometimes if some of the participants are aware of the energy they're playing with and the potential for both good and for harm which is being manipulated. I sense that some of the skilled veteran players have a pretty good understanding but there are also others who do seem to play with it just for the *kink* thrill.
It occurs to me that it could be very easy for a novice to open themselves up to some fairly vampirish energy play without being aware of it to their own determent. Some basic training would, I think, be a good idea before jumping into this kind of energy play.
Hmmm...just got me to thinking...
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSat, November 24, 2007 - 1:51 PM<It occurs to me that it could be very easy for a novice to open themselves up to some fairly vampirish energy play without being aware of it to their own determent.

Yes, indeed. Vampiric and predatory behaviour is rampant in BDSM, and it's worse when people get spiritual tools in addition to BDSM and then run with scissors. But it's all a learning experience. What comes around goes around. Karma evens things out.
I don't think training is going to fix the problem. Sometimes you have to burn your fingers on the stove before you heed your mother's warning not to touch it. If warning and training worked, kids would listen to their parents and never try things for themselves.
And sometimes it is karma to go through a hellish experience with another human.
So, putting energy toward picking up the pieces would, IMHO, be a better use of resources.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSat, November 24, 2007 - 4:57 PM"If warning and training worked, kids would listen to their parents and never try things for themselves."
This may be true regarding children but I do hope that those who chose a path of sexual exploration, especially one as potent as BDSM are adults and can engage with a bit of awareness as adults. I fully advocate consensual energy play but I feel it is something that can (and should) be approached with a level of maturity.
I would hope, at the very least, that those who are serious about the spiritual aspects of this kind of exchange would be willing to do a little homework not only in order to offer others a quality experience but to also protect themselves from energy vampirism. BDSM is, after all, touted as a sexual path that is explored with intention.
I don't agree with the idea that getting burned is the best approach to learning nor that "putting energy toward picking up the pieces would be a better use of resources". Sometimes, the damage can't be undone that easily and it seems far more logical to avoid "hellish" experiences in the first place.
We are talking about *adults* aren't we?
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSat, November 24, 2007 - 7:39 PMThat's making the assumption that adults will make wise and informed decisions, especially if someone is there to "train" them. That's making the assumption the adults in question had a solid foundation growing up, or that they have enough of their shit fixed by therapy before they enter BDSM.
I think most adults ignore warnings and do what they want and get themselves burned anyway. I've seen so many people get a few tools and go running with scissors.
So, why waste time and energy with warnings and information that will mostly get ignored?
If adults didn't need someone to pick up the pieces, we wouldn't have therapists.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSat, November 24, 2007 - 8:30 PM"why waste time and energy with warnings and information that will mostly get ignored?"
Because, not everyone ignores it and if even one person is detered from a "hellish" experience, I happen to think it's worth it.
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSat, November 24, 2007 - 11:27 PM***sigh***
Just cuz you give someone warnings and they don't listen doesn't mean you should not give out future warnings. When someone runs a red light it doesn't mean logically that all red lights should be turned off because someone will run them anyway.
I've had more than one student NOT listen to warnings, and jump into situations which would be dangerous without someone looking over their shoulder. Some of these situations involved BDSM relationships that should have been crafted with more care, but some involved monogamous vanilla relationships. The common denominator was not BDSM, but Tantra....and exuberant early students.
Yes, the BDSM community is rife with Vampirism...but so is the Pagan community, the Recovery community, the Folk Music community, the Art community, etc etc. Anywhere you have community, and an opportunity for energy to be released, you have vampires.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSun, November 25, 2007 - 8:24 AM"I would hope, at the very least, that those who are serious about the spiritual aspects of this kind of exchange would be willing to do a little homework not only in order to offer others a quality experience but to also protect themselves from energy vampirism."
It's my experience that "energy vampirism" is a perspective of victimization which is usually taken by people who lack either suitable boundaries or a suitable expectation of a particular social environment. While I'm certainly capable of falling into that trap periodically, I don't think it's a particularly useful rabbit hole and certainly not a particularly empowering one.
I think there's value in both reading and talking with people before practice as well as in experimental practice. Different approaches for different people. And in different balances.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSun, November 25, 2007 - 8:19 AM"Yes, indeed. Vampiric and predatory behaviour is rampant in BDSM, and it's worse when people get spiritual tools in addition to BDSM and then run with scissors. But it's all a learning experience. What comes around goes around. Karma evens things out."
This seems like a highly subjective judgment to me. One person's vampiric and predatory behavior is another person's exciting come-on. And misunderstandings happen in all corners of life.
For example, in the d/s realm, some people want to get to know each other before agreeing to power exchange. Other people expect there to be some chemical charge immediately, which translates into d/s immediately. (And others never want power exchange, they want something entirely different, like SM). When a dom in the first camp meets a sub in the second, the result is that the sub claims the dom isn't "really" a dom. When a dom in the second camp meets a sub in the first, the sub often complains about doms with undue expectations, or people who won't negotiate before play.
Put another way, "On your knees, bitch!" is a very risky opening line. But sometimes it works really well.
One thing one learns in the bdsm scene pretty quickly is that there is no single right way of doing it. Lots of ways work. And many different ways work for different people.
And for the record, the bdsm scene offers both training for those who are interested and willing to listen as well as "pick up the pieces" support groups. I believe that both have value.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSun, November 25, 2007 - 7:54 PMYes, it is a subjective judgement. Most opinions are. ;->
I just have one correction. The BDSM scene in New York and the west coast have the training and support you mention. the scene where I live does not have adequate support or anything close to what you're talking about.
AND here's another thought. I have noticed that sometimes TeamNoir likes to play devil's advocate and post things that are controversial or go in a different direction from everyone else. Because if he didn't, a lot of the conversations on Tribe would be boring, with everyone agreeing with eachother. I thought I'd give that a try. Personally, I don't believe in victims. period. (And those of you who read my LJ know this because I have posted it often enough). Which means for me, vampirism is non-existent. I played with the idea for a while when I was hurting from a relationship. But in the end, I could not believe in vampirism because I could not believe in a victim mentality.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSun, November 25, 2007 - 8:04 AM"I do wonder sometimes if some of the participants are aware of the energy they're playing with and the potential for both good and for harm which is being manipulated."
I think this is really a matter of perspective.
While I can work in terms of "energy" sometimes, mostly I'm working in terms of things that are far more concrete - things I can see, feel, or hear in this plane of existence. One of the wonderful things for me is that the bdsm scene tends to talk and teach in terms of specifics. I can't tell you how much more comforting, education, practical, and useful that is by comparison to people who teach about "energy".
When comparing one instructor who talks about "well, you know, that stuff, energy" vs another instructor who talks about stress levels, tension in the body, specific gestures, visual and tactile calibration to learn to recognize those changes, the second instructor will get my attention every time. Those tools are simply far more powerful for me, and in general in my opinion.
I happen to really like French cooking - subtle flavors, gentle, complex, rich. I don't care for cuisine that works with chile hot, like macho Mexican. I've been quote widely on the internet as saying, "Sex can hurt. Food should not." To me, Mexican macho chile hot isn't strong energy. It's just wasted energy because I'm not going to eat it.
In contrast, working with bdsm is much easier for me. The energies are right here, right in my face. They are familiar because I've been working with them for a long time. They are my allies, my friends, my memorized spell book. The subtleties of many "wiccan" rituals and the typical het vanilla tantra class are much more difficult, in my opinion, precisely because it's more difficult to see what's going on. It's like the difference between working under surgical lights vs working in a dark room. It's simply easier to be much more precise when you can see what's going on - when the things you are working with are illuminated in stark relief.
So, yes, I'm well aware and so are many others that what we're working with might look to you like heavy machinery. While we generally respect the power of what we're working with, we also seek to claim it, to own it, to control it rather than allowing it to control us. And some of the things we do with it, like mock it, play with it, flirt with it, and fuck with it, are aimed at cutting it down to a size that we can work with and control.
I don't agree about the potential for abuse. I mean, yes, the bdsm scene has plenty of potential for abuse. But from where I sit, the blind adherence to rules and the willingness to follow gurus that seems so common to eastern practices like tantra and yoga looks like a far more dangerous realm to me. In bdsm, we generally teach a very healthy form of self reliance and suspicion of authority. So that sort of blind obedience really only happens to naive and/or rash people and I'm sure that naive and ignorant people exist in all corners of life.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSun, November 25, 2007 - 10:01 PMI agree that people who speak only of "energy" are being vague and not giving quite enough information to make anything really work. These are good jumping off points into the stuff that helps people change.
However, stress levels and body tension ARE energy. They are the energy that begins with the brain and ends at the muscles, that energy that makes us act and react.
Nerves work on ionic energy transfer--negatively charged nerves flip to a positive charge in a fraction of a second. It's my opinion that this nervous system energy is what creates the reactions that people call "aura' and "psychic" energies. I also beleive that this is the same energy that becomes tangible to people practicing Tantra.
None of this is proved scientifically---I haven't figured out how that would be done. But as a hypothesis, it works with what you are saying. Energy without a physical manifestation is much more difficult to learn about and understand than energy with a phycial basis.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmSun, November 25, 2007 - 9:45 AMmonitoring this thread, two images come to mind:
1) At Goa's Arjuna Beach late-1990s hippie flea market, there was an American photographer who would set up his table each week. His stock in trade was a series of B&W glossy photos made up as postcards. Each would feature a different Sadhu ....some sporting ritual amputations (It was rumored that after the guy cut off his limb, they'd sit around and have a feast)...another snapshot showed a guy dragging a choo-choo train down the track by his dick,...all as a way of showing non-attachment to the physical, I suppose.
There was one sadhu picture of a guy who had his dick pierced with a large funky bar of steel, with chain welded to it. He'd run the chain down and around up by the crack of his ass and attached the chain in back to a wide leather belt worn around his waist. ....And they say that lying on a bed of nails is X-treme.
2) I know some native american guys who sport these hideous large knotted scars on their chests from sacred SunDancing. They have their pectorals pierced with sticks, then tie the sticks to logs on the floor....then dance to and fro at a fire dragging around the log to the sacred drumbeat nonstop for three days and nights with neither food, water, nor toilet breaks in a sacred trance... until the stick tears out through their muscles. They must be really good at learning how to manage pain. (Ouch!!!)
Just goes to show you what folks will do in the name of religion. Well for me, I share the sentiments of the lady who said, "...No Pain,...no pain...". Call me terribly conventional, if you need to, but I like heaping doses of pleasure served up undiluted.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmMon, November 26, 2007 - 3:41 PMI fail to see how the practice of bondage-discipline/sadism-masochism is spiritualy uplifting, much less therapeutic or healing.
At best the dominant of the pair releases some "steam" and maybe gets some shit off his/her chest and is maybe freed of some tension or stress, at least for a little while, after having taken it out on the other. BUT the destructive effect upon the receiver of it all, does not help anyone, just makes for some terribly hideously emotionaly damaged people. I mean what are you going to do with a victim having cigarette burns all over, teeth busted out, cuts and infections all over his/her genetalia, and a size 10 asshole? You can say that the victim submitted with totally willing adult consent as a willing conspirator to the drama....but, Hey that stuff does alot of damage.
.............But OK, try and tell me different.
When I get worked up and grow cross and upset and feel funky and angry about something, I go outdoors and chop a bunch of wood for my woodstove. That works off alot of excess negative energy... and turns it into something positive. To me pain is something I avoid... not something I'll seek out. At least that's the way I ( and probably 99.5% of the population) am wired. I think you have to be really fucked up to intentionally inflict pain and harm on others.
And if you find the above offensive to your sensitive little pink ears, then throw me the hell out of your Pain Club.
Re: Spirituality & bdsmMon, November 26, 2007 - 4:21 PMI think the same can be said about tattooing, piercing, and plastic surgery. Whether they cause "damage" is just a judgment about the result.
If the only image you have of bdsm is as nonconsensual catharsis, or of consensual catharsis which maims, then frankly I'm glad that you're not part of my scene.
Of course, then you have to apply the same argument to all forms of gurus since their approach tends to be identical to d/s. And to all forms of sex, really. Or to all of human interaction. You never know when dressing the wrong way might cause someone undue trauma or a misplaced word lead someone into suicide.
For me, self determination really is a huge value. I do have some values which are even more important to me than your self determination, but most of those deal with my own self determination. :). And yeah, I'm completely ok with someone collecting cigarette burns, broken teeth, infections, and a size 10 asshole if that's what they want to do with their body. I'm not necessarily willing to help them with all of those pursuits, but I'm not going to stop them either.

When Amanda from Mommy is Coocoo inherited her parents old bedroom set, she did so with mixed feelings. It was solid wood and in fantastic shape. But that wood was pine with a shiny varnish, and that was a look Amanda wasn't crazy about. Makeover time!
After seeing pictures of several pieces of furniture that were painted with metallic paint, Amanda knew that was the look she wanted. She decided to go with a silver metallic finish, that she'd give an aged look so that it would have almost a pewter look. After painting and glazing the wood and some of the hardware, Amanda had just the look she was going for.

Finger millet is an important dryland crop valued for food grain and straw. One of the striking features of finger millet is its resilience and ability to adjust to marginal agro-climatic conditions in terms of soil fertility, rainfall and other weather parameters. The grain is nutritious with balanced protein, higher calcium and iron and dietary fibre. This offers ample opportunities for developing and promoting nutritious utility products from finger millet. In view of this, a study was undertaken to enhance the income of finger millet growing farmers by increasing productivity and strengthening the capacity of farming community for value addition and marketing of value added products. The process involved selection of two improved varieties by farmer participatory approach, organizing several field enhancement trials in farmers' fields for three years, empowering farmers in quality seed production and supply conservation using village seed bank approach and leveraging Self Help Groups (SHGs) of farm women for value addition of grain and its marketing. The crop management, also involving the developmental departments, resulted in 30–35 per cent increase in yield. On-farm intercrop trials of finger millet with field bean or pigeonpea during three years indicated higher monetary returns in comparison with the farmers' practice.
The rural mobilization under this study focused on SHGs constituted by small and landless farmers of villages in Doddabomanahalli and B.R. Hills of southern Karnataka. The nutritional status of women of these villages revealed 60–70% nutrient adequacy with low Hb levels in 50% of them. The pattern of group savings and lending showed that most of the credit was used for improving the sustainability of their agriculture and subsidiary activities. Empowerment of women was undertaken through trainings based on the need assessment carried out in a participatory mode. The training was imparted for preparation of value added products of finger millet (malt and energy dense mix) quality control, labeling, marketing of the produce with attractive cost benefit ratio. Empowerment of SHG women through training and nutrition education had positive impact on leadership qualities, enhanced self confidence, skills to undertake value added products and their marketing, domestic consumption, income generation and all converging to improved nutrition and economic status.

For many years, veterinary oncologist Dr. Luminita Sarbu has kept a very special plaque above her desk. Dr. Sarbu, who runs Veterinary Oncology Center in Renton, Washington, has touched the lives of thousands of animals and their people, treating them during the most devastating diagnoses. But she keeps coming back to that plaque.
"I've been keeping a plaque of a patient above my desk – a beautiful three-legged white dog called Tasha," Dr. Sarbu explained. "She's rolling in the grass, all smiles, eyes closed in enjoyment, not worrying that she only had three legs or that she was fighting cancer.
"Tasha was about living life in the moment and sharing her joy with her owner. The plaque reads: 'Some gifts you hold in your hand, some you hold in your heart.' Tasha passed away many years ago, but her picture reminds me every day that it's the little moments like this that make life big. The roll in the grass, the chase of the squirrel, the lazy stretch on a sunny window sill, the cuddle in the morning. These are the gifts each of us hold in our hearts, forever proof of how our pets enrich our lives, make us smile and bring out the best in us."
Every year, Dr. Sarbu and her staff celebrate the special moments in the lives of animals and their families. The Celebration of Life Picnic, which occurred yesterday at Kelsey Creek Farm, is dedicated to past and present patients who are pet parents, honoring living life to the fullest - despite a cancer diagnosis.
"We're humbled to have been part of your pet's journey, having witnessed their tenacious spirits while battling cancer, and your commitment and unending love," Dr. Sarbu stated.
The Celebration of Life featured a raffle, food and beverages, stories and photographs, and plenty of smiles and wagging tails. Some of the guests came with animal family members who were in remission from their cancer - one dog, fourteen-year-old Labrador retriever Sam, had been in remission for an amazing four years. And some of the guests brought along new additions to their family - dogs who had joined their home since the passing of an animal who had had cancer.
But the thread that tied them all together was the tireless dedication of Dr. Sarbu and her staff. "It's important to have an event like this," Dr. Sarbu explained. "I love it when our patients come back one, two, three years later - with cancer survivors and with new animal family members."
A happy dog nudged Dr. Sarbu's leg as he walked by and she smiled down at him. Other dogs greeted one another with smiles, laughs, and wagging tails.
Each dog had a story that resonated with Dr. Sarbu and with the other special guests - they were either cancer survivors or they were the younger family members of an animal who had passed away from cancer. Beautiful Carmella came came with her people, Gay and Alicia. The little dog had had part of her jaw removed because of her cancer. Carmella's tail wagged happily as her tongue hung out of her smiling mouth.
Two black Labradors, Emmie and Teddy, came with their people, Greg and Bonnie. Diesel the English Bulldog came with his person, Stephanie. Theodore the Maltese came with his person, Cynthia. Wanda the shepherd/sharpei mix came with her person, Halina. Sam the chocolate Labrador retriever - who, at fourteen, had been in remission from his cancer for four years - came with his person, Judy.
Charlie the Vizsla came with his person, Obie. Seven-month-old Tifa, the family member of Veterinary Oncology vet tech Melanie, was happy to meet and greet everyone. Henry the German shorthair pointer came with his person, Lynn. Briards Coco and Ellie came with their people, John and Debbie. "I can't recommend Dr. Sarbu highly enough," John enthused as he patted his gentle giants.
Joule the Rottweiler came with her person, Sharon. Rosie the black Labrador retriever came with her person, Kate. (And coaxed some cheese from Seattle Pets Examiner, too). Wilson and Mia the yellow Labrador retrievers came with their person, Jim. Jim's previous dog, Champion, had been a patient at Veterinary Oncology Center.
Nina came with her person, Marcus. Marcus' previous dog, Ginger, had been a patient at Veterinary Oncology Center. "Dr. Sarbu helped Ginger have an additional year of life," Marcus said, "...and with good quality of life."
Charles the mini pin came with his people, Bonnie and Tamara. Jax the black Labrador retriever came with his person, Sheila, and Joey the black Lab came with his person, Judy.
The park was filled with smiles, happy barks, laughter, and wagging tails. One Celebration of Life - and so many lives touched.
That plaque still sits above Dr. Sarbu's desk, but its message resonates with everyone who has ever loved an animal. Some gifts you hold in your hand and some you hold in your heart. The small gestures, the snuggles, the joyous romps in the grass - these are the gifts that each of us hold in our hearts, forever proof of how our pets enrich our lives, make us smile, and bring out the best in us.

With my communications and business background, along with Bobbys mind blowing metalshaping skills, I was confident we had all the bases covered to fulfill our dream and open up our own shop in late 2005. So with that big leap of faith Walden Speed Shop Inc was born! It was our hope to partner our talents to create a speed shop that fosters innovative thinking, produces a new standard for detailed craftsmanship, and provides excellence in our superior line of products.
Over eight amazing years have passed since opening our doors in Pomona, with lots of fun changes exciting projects, resourceful new products, Open Houses, emerging partnerships, and Bobby and I finally made it official on the 800-year-old steps of City Hall in Cortona, Italy. Of course our most exciting changes were the birth of our little girl Lucy Ann & our baby boy Beck Vranas the future of Walden Speed Shop!
With all the excitement that new brings, we are also happy to report that the best of the old still remains the same. It definitely takes a great team to build a great business. We have a very talented crew of guys and enthusiastic customers who walk in as clients but leave as friends. Owning a business is impossible without a loyal support system. We have the greatest friends in the world and without the love and support of my family right from the very beginning we simply wouldnt be here today!
This industry and these cars are our passion, our life. We are truly dedicated to the tradition and the art of building hot rods. We love what we do and we hope that we can share that with you.
Thanks for stoppin by!
Bobby Waldens love affair with hot rods and his involvement in the hot rod world stems back to his early years growing up in a small town in Texas. At 12 years old Bobby was mesmerized watching The California Kid, a hot rod classic on the ABC Movie of the Week. Pete Chapouris cool 1934 Ford 3-window coupe was all it took for Bobby to be hooked for life.
At 24 Bobby bought his first 34 3-window and eagerly set out to have it customized to perfection. Yet after a disappointing visit to a CA shop, Bobby knew that his vision for the ideal car would only come through the work of his own hands. It was then that his long career in metal shaping began to take form. It took several metal shaping classes from Scott Knight, a Yoder Power Hammer, and hundreds of hours of practice, but with diligence came a level of exceptional craftsmanship and artful fabrication.
During the past decade Bobby has continued to hone his skills on many impressive projects. In 1996 he was approached by Rad Rides by Troy owner/builder Troy Trepanier to custom build a body for one of the most remarkable customs of all time the Poteet / Trepanier Sniper. Following the Sniper Bobby continued to work with Troy on the Intruder (George Poteets 57 Ford Ranch Wagon) and Chicayne (Glenn Grozichs sleek 62 Impala).
In 1998 Bobby made his first trek to the Bonneville Salt Flats in his streamliner Flat Fire. Hoping to beat the land speed record, Bobby ended up with a record all his own Worlds Fastest Crash in a Flathead Powered Car as he walked away from a 235 mph accident with all bones intact, but a demolished vehicle. After the crash Bobby continued to be involved with Ron Main, the new owner of Flat Fire, and together attained the goal of running over 300 mph in a Flathead Powered Car.
2003 proved to be an exciting year for Bobby as he resurrected his own 1946 Ford Sedan, appropriately called the Spanish Fly. With a Flathead motor that has hummed its way to Bonneville, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas on many occasions, this car continues to be his daily driver at over 130,000 miles. That same year Bobby got a call that would prove to be a turning point in both his career and life. It was one of his longtime idols Pete Chapouris asking Bobby if he would like to move to CA and work at So-Cal Speed Shop, building top-of-the-line hot rods and playing a major role in their new relationship with the GM Performance Division. After long consideration (about an hour), Bobby was packing up and planning the big move.
During his two and a half years at So-Cal, Bobby worked on several high profile cars -resurrecting the body and chassis on David Wehrleys 1932 orange coupe, providing metalwork on J.J. Barnhardts 32 Ford 5-window, and helping with the mechanical work on Jim Kipps 32 Roadster. Bobbys main focus though was helping in the builds of several GM Bonneville race cars - including the Ion, Cobalt, belly tank, and the HHR.
Traveling to Detroit, working at General Motors Headquarters, and getting access to state-of-the-art technology programs such as the Wind Tunnel and the GM Proving Grounds were all highlights of the builds. Being a key fabricator in all of the GM vehicles, including earning the spot as Crew Chief on both the Ion and Cobalt proved to be incredibly rewarding experiences. Seeing GM engineer Jim Minneker take the Saturn Ion Red Line Coupe to a victorious record, and earning him a spot in the 200 MPH Club, in the G/BFAC class at 212.684 mph in October 2003; the Ecotec Lakester set the G/BGL record at 179.381 mph in 2004 and followed up with a 189.205 mph speed record in 2005; and the Chevy Cobalt SS run two records in August 2006 first with a time of 218.392 mph in the G/BFALT class driven by Jim Minneker and followed up by a run of 246.849 mph by GM engineer Mark Dickens to put him into the 200 MPH Club showed remarkable results of the teams hard work and vision.
Transforming the HHR with an extreme 7 inch chop also displayed the innovation of what could be done with the right people at hand. Following his final trip to Bonneville with the GM Performance Team in August of 2005, Bobby spent the next few months at the GM Design Center in Burbank working his chopping magic one more time for a cutting edge SEMA project.
Along with these and many other projects spanning over the last 15 years, Bobby has hand built meticulously perfect roof inserts and door skins on his most important tool his Yoder Power Hammer. With well over 1000 panels sold to every state in the country and around the world, Bobby continues to produce only his best work, taking pride in all that he touches. And now it seems the best is yet to come!
Oh yeah, and that 34 3-window from 22 years ago its finally getting finished, just as perfect as he had always dreamed it would be.
When Bobby and I met at the drag races in 2004, neither one of us was a newcomer to the hot rodding world.
I am a So Cal gal born and raised. One of my biggest passions is hotrods. After going to my first car show at sixteen I was forever smitten. I love the rumble of a flathead, the pleats of tuck & roll, the smell of burnouts, the sparkle of metal flake, the art of pinstriping, chopped tops, louvered panels, white walls- oh how they all get my blood racing!
After officially falling in love with hotrodding it became a way of life. I bought my own 1949 Mercury (which typical of a shop owner is still under construction) and joined the Hells Belles, an all girls car club in Los Angeles. If you go to hotrod shows in SoCal, or the Southwest for that matter, youll probably see me and my gals cruising around in our red jackets. Whether were at a car show, the races, swapmeet, throwing a charity event, sipping cocktails at a swanky LA bar, or BBQing in the backyard, us Belles always have a great time together!
I then fell into pinup modeling and have been lucky to grace the covers and been featured in some of the industrys best magazines and books. Ive worked with many of the best photographers and makeup artists out there, posing for companies whose products I love.
Always an avid writer, I began to freelance for the newly formed Ol Skool Rodz and Car Kulture Deluxe magazines several years ago. My focus has been on the inspiring artists and heroes in this culture from musical geniuses Buck Owens, Billy Gibbons, Mike Ness, and Junior Brown to artist Max Grundy, designer Jenny Parker, photographer Adam Wright and the late great Wally Parks. Ive also inked my virgin trip to Bonneville in 2005 and sounded off on some of my all-time favorite (and most loathed) hotrod movies.
With all this and my degree in Communications and Business from USC, I knew my background would be the perfect compliment to Bobby's skills to embark on this new adventure.

"I asked if we could pick up the medals now," joked Horton, USA's lone Beijing Games veteran, after the Americans surprisingly posted the highest qualifying score on Saturday to raise expectations for Monday's team final.
After poor showings in the first three rounds of Monday's final at North Greenwich Arena, Horton had another lesson for the kids: Keep fighting.
Even when you're dead last in the standings.
A disastrous showing on the pommel horse, the U.S.'s worst discipline, ended any hopes for gold – or any medal, for that matter – and dumped the Americans in eighth place of eight teams. There was no catching the Chinese, the runaway winners, so going into the final round, with his teammates' shoulders slumped, Horton decided to huddle up the squad for a pep talk.
[ Photos: U.S. men's gymnastics team falters ]
"I just told the guys, 'Fight to the end,' " Horton recalled. "This is what Team USA is all about. We do not give up."
Horton led by example, helping the U.S. finish strong on its last rotation, the horizontal bar. His clean routine scored a 15.200 in between all-around finalists John Orozco (15.333) and Danell Leyva (15.866) to bring the vocal U.S. fans out of their seats.
It wasn't enough to move into the medals – Japan took the silver, Great Britain the bronze after a protest – but the Americans did manage to finish fifth, a result that would've been disappointing to them going into the final. But after such a disastrous start, they all walked away feeling like a better team having overcome such adversity on gymnastics' biggest stage. And they all considered the experience another building block for a group that, except for Horton, should comprise most of the U.S. team for the 2016 Summer Games in Brazil.
"You just get caught up in the moment and you can't perform your best," Horton explained. "But this group is going to learn from it. This group is going to be around awhile and will be back for Rio."
"This is motivation," said Sam Mikulak, who kept the U.S.'s spirits up by punctuating his dismounts with fist pumps. "And this is not just for the event finals. This is for the next four years."
The Americans can apply these vital lessons this week when individual competition begins, especially Leyva and Orozco who will compete in the men's all-around on Wednesday.
"It's over now," sighed Orozco, whose uncharacteristic stumble on his vault dismount led to a disastrous score of 12.733. "All I can do now is look to the future."
"We're all 19 years old," Mikulak said. "We're not the like the Italians who all look like they're 20-something years old. But we're here for the long haul. … Maybe we needed this."

|The Nu-No Hackles
No-Hackles revolutionized the way we tie flies. The author's improved patterns continue that tradition.
by John R. Gantner
The No-Hackle Dun, described by Doug Swisher and Carl Richards in their classic book, Selective Trout, was a great advancement in dry-fly construction. (Selective Trout was first published in 1971, but The Lyons Press produced a revised edition in 2001.) The pattern immediately won my favor, and a few days fishing the challenging waters of Montana's Armstrong Spring Creek proved its value: super-selective trout with college degrees in "bugology" eagerly ingested the No-Hackle with misplaced confidence. The imitation was deadly: The impostor rode the water's surface, displayed the proper profile, and created the correct impression on the meniscus, leaving the fish with little doubt of its authenticity. The No-Hackle consistently hooked fish while other anglers who cast standard bushy-hackle dry flies felt the sting of repeated rejections.
There are times when bushy Royal Wulffs and Humpies work just fine, such as when rises are sparse and you're searching the water with attractor patterns. More often than not, however, selecting the proper imitation of a real insect is critical to angling success. Swisher and Richards stated "The single most overriding problem the fly-fisherman must deal with is procuring an artificial fly that will gull the trout into thinking it is a natural insect." At no other time is this deception more difficult than during an intense mayfly hatch when the trout become "species specific" and take the hatching insects one after another. At these times, the fish will ignore all but the most realistic patterns designed to mimic the physical characteristics of the hatching insect.
No-Hackle Pros and Cons
The traditional No-Hackle has several advantages. First, the design has a low profile and the body is clearly outlined on the water's surface. The leading edges of the wings are clear and sharp, and positioned high above the body. And finally, the splayed tails lie realistically on the surface. The No-Hackle has merits, but what about its limitations?
No-Hackles were designed in the 1960s and early 1970s using the materials available at that time; the explosion in synthetic fly-tying materials had not yet occurred. Swisher and Richards made the most of the materials at hand, but these had drawbacks. The original No-Hackles did not float well unless heavily gooped with flotant, and even then they weren't buoyant in turbulent waters. To float at all, they were tied on 3X-fine hooks that could be straightened by lunker trout. The duck quill wings were fragile; they disintegrated under a trout's toothy attack, and even lost their shape from the trauma of casting. Smaller No-Hackles, riding low on the water and with only dark quill wings to flag their position, were difficult to see on the water. And, despite claims to the contrary, the original No-Hackles are not easy to tie properly; if the wings are not perfect, the flies tend to lie on their sides.
Designing the Nu-No Hackle
Today, we have a wealth of new tying materials and techniques, and the stage is set to revisit the No-Hackle concept for imitating mayfly duns and spinners. We can use these fresh resources to correct the shortfalls of the original patterns.
The shape and proportion of the bodies remain of utmost importance. The shape of the wings is also equally important. The tails and legs are less critical because they are seen briefly or not at all. The tails, however, do play an important role in helping these flies float correctly on the water. Our new patterns must float well, land on the water in the proper upright position, be durable, and also be reasonably easy to construct. We can accomplish all this while retaining the basic concepts of the original No-Hackle pattern.
Swisher and Richards felt the construction of the tails was important to keeping their flies floating upright. They said, "The most important point to remember when tying the No-Hackle flies is to spread the tail fibers as much as possible in a horizontal plane." I have exchanged the hackle-fiber or deer-hair tails of the original No-Hackles with hackle stems or monofilament. Monofilament is stiffer, more durable, can be colored with a marking pen to correspond to the hues of the living insect, and offers a good use for the old tippet material that has been in your vest for too long. I use 2X hard monofilament for the tails on my Hexagenia and other large drake-style imitations, 5X for the small Blue-Winged Olive, and sizes 3X and 4X for flies in between.
A mayfly's thorax is wider than the abdomen, but the thoraxes of many patterns, including the original No-Hackles, are too slender. I increase the buoyancy of the Nu-No Hackle with a PFD (personal flotation device): a foam strip folded over the thorax and between the wings. This foam strip can match the color of the upper thorax of the real insect, or it can be white or brightly colored to act as an indicator.
The original No-Hackles had duck-quill or shoulder-feather wings. These were not durable or easy to tie, and they came in few colors. Substituting shaped foam in place of the quill wings creates durable wings. You can also color foam wings with marking pens to match the real insects.
The position of the wings is very important. Increase the stability of a fly by placing the bottom edges of the wings low and outside the body. If you place the wings directly on top of the thorax, you'll need to add a parachute hackle to keep the fly upright on the water. The outboard wings add width and stability to the fly, improving its footprint and attitude. Although the tips of the wings may be the first—and possibly the most important—thing a trout sees, they do not have to be completely realistic in size and appearance. The wings do need to be about the same height and color as the wings of the natural insect, but I typically make the wings one size smaller for the fly I'm tying; for instance, if I'm making a size 14 Nu-No Hackle, I construct the wings using a size 16 wing burner.
The original No-Hackle was tied in sizes 14 to 22—and even smaller—to imitate tiny mayflies. But, what about large mayflies such as the Hexagenia, western green drake, eastern green drake, and all the other drakes and mega-mayflies? I use patterns with extended hollow abdomen to imitate these larger bugs. Although it takes about four minutes longer to tie, this sort of pattern is a realistic-looking impostor of a generously proportioned mayfly. When compared to the bulky appearance of the Para-dun, which was once the accepted extended-body fly, the Extended-Bodied Nu-No Hackle Drake and the Extended-Bodied Nu-No Hackle Spinner give renewed meaning to the term realistic imitation.
Many good low-riding dry-fly patterns have been developed in recent years. The Spundun and Sparkle Dun, hair-wing duns, foam-top patterns, foam-body parachutes, and other flies have solved some of the problems of the original No-Hackle design, but each has its shortcomings. The deer-hair patterns are not very durable, and the hair eventually saturates and sinks. Parachutes, unless hackled very sparsely, tend to blur the outline of the wings. The best answer is to resurrect the No-Hackle patterns using new materials and tying techniques. Go back to the teachings of Swisher and Richards, but apply all the modern devices they did not have available.
Trout continue to become more educated and selective, and anglers must have more realistic imitations to fool them. Try the Nu-No Hackle patterns or design your own No-Hackles. You'll be glad you did.

The nonprofit, health-advocacy group also filed a formal petition calling on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to require a warning notice on egg cartons. The notice would state: "Caution: Eggs may contain illness-causing bacteria. Do not eat raw. Cook eggs until the yolk is firm."
CSPI announced the petition and released a 22-page report, Scrambled Eggs, at a press conference Wednesday morning in Washington. The report documents the woeful governmental response in the ten years since SE was first identified in eggs. The group also outlined how the disease can best be brought under control.
"Eggs used to be safe," Caroline Smith DeWaal, director of CSPI's Food Safety Program, said, "but now they are the leading cause of food poisoning outbreaks in the country. This is the consequence of a decade of government neglect and Congressional cave-ins to industry pressure."
"It is time to label egg cartons," she said, "to warn consumers that the eggs may be contaminated with harmful bacteria. Until new programs assure that shell eggs are safe, consumers need to be reminded of the risk every time they bring home a carton of eggs."
According to government data cited by CSPI, SE infection causes up to a million illnesses each year. Sufferers experience flu-like symptoms, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, and fever and chills. Some people can have more serious complications, such as rheumatoid arthritis, meningitis, kidney or heart disease, and death. Elderly residents of nursing homes are especially at risk.
In April 1992, USDA began a voluntary pilot program to control SE in Pennsylvania. The program, which had requirements ranging from regular on-farm testing to effective refrigeration, proved successful. But in 1995, Congress cut all funding for the program, thereby preventing USDA from expanding it nationwide.
According to Elizabeth Dahl, staff attorney for CSPI's Food Safety Program, "Egg industry lobbyists were responsible for killing federal support for the program. Now, with nearly half the nation's egg-laying flocks contaminated with Salmonella, Congress must act on behalf of consumers, not producers."
"Thousands of Americans have paid a terrible price for government's failure to ensure safe eggs," said CSPI Executive Director Michael Jacobson. "We hope that our petition -- together with the Clinton Administration's new food-safety initiative -- will enable Americans to trust that eggs are once again safe."
CSPI, besides calling for the warning labels on egg cartons and creation of control programs modeled after the successful Pennsylvania Egg Quality Assurance Program, offered the following advice to consumers:

The elusive Thievery Corporation will be performing tonight at Stubbs, giving a musical experience unmatched by any acts who have been together for 20 years.
Since their debut in 1996, the inventive duo has explored everything on the musical spectrum, from Jamaican dub to psychedelic space rock to acid jazz. Now they've returned to the Brazilian-inspired sounds in bossa nova, a genre Thievery has flirted with throughout their time together.
The release of their seventh studio album 'Saudade' this April proved successful on the charts and peaked on the Billboard's Dance/Electronic Albums chart at the No. 2 spot. The track "Saudade" is Thievery's ninth Top 10, tied with Armin van Buuren in fifth place among other artists with the most Top 10s on the dance chart.
Saudade is a feeling of nostalgia associated with the Brazilian personality and described as the love that remains when someone is gone. There isn't a literal English translation, but it is often equated with the blues.
It's a unique sound not like anything else out right now, with beautiful lyrics in French, English, and Italian, and pulling inspiration from Portuguese and Spanish culture, the album is a melting pot of enriched sound from all over the globe.
In an EDM world that's so saturated, it's refreshing to hear an entire album dedicated to a particular genre that isn't mainstream. It evokes a human condition that normally can't be conveyed through words. From the Italian-sung "Sola in Citta" to the French "Décollage," each track conjures memories of pillow talk from a former life that no longer exists. It's moody, ethereal, and sensual.
Listen to 'Saudade' on their SoundCloud here.

I feel sometimes as if my entire life revolves around snacks. I have to pack two snacks in my daughter's backpack every day; one for morning recess, and another one for her to eat on the bus home in the afternoons. My son demands a snack upon seeing me when I pick him up from preschool, and then when we get home he usually wants a second one because he's starving. They need snacks to eat on the way to their afterschool activities, and they need snacks to eat on the way home from them, as well. On the weekends, they need snacks during half-time of their games, and then they need another snack for after the game, even if the game ends ten minutes before lunch. Sometimes, I think that instead of having a trunk in the back of my car, I should just install a cupboard.
It's a lot of work, these snacks. A few months ago, I met with a nutritionist about my childrens' horrific eating habits, and snacking, she said, was their number one problem. Instead of giving them Ziploc after Ziploc of Pirate's Booty or goldfish, or Cheetos, I should instead, she explained, aim to make each snack more like a small meal, complete with protein, whole grains and fruit. A freshly made strawberry yogurt smoothie, for example, or a bowl of whole grain cereal with bananas, or a bag of popcorn with a glass of milk and an orange. With snacks like these, she explained, my kids would actually snack less, because their stomachs would be full from the fiber, protein and vitamins, and they wouldn't be crashing after the sugar highs that accompany fruit roll-ups, or still starving because of the empty calories in the bag of Cheetos. But it's hard to pack a bowl of cereal in a backpack, it's hard to find the time to make a yogurt smoothie, and it's equally hard not to cave when my kids are whining for the fruit flavored gummy snacks they sell at karate or the packages of processed cheese and crackers on the shelves at gymnastics. I try to offer them bananas or oranges, pumpkin seeds or individually wrapped pieces of cheese, but sometimes I just can't take the whining and I cave (okay, I cave a lot of times). But still, I do the best I can.
You know, this is so funny! YOU are the parents, the children should eat what you give them. If they are eating all the time, quit feeding them all the time. If they are being picky, they dont eat. Children are amazing in the fact they WILL eat when they get hungry. Parents shouldnt give kids so many choices. They cant process them in thier little minds. Apple slices, bananas, or nothing! Be the parents! Five year olds should not have the luxury of living in a resturaunt. Keep trying!!!!
This is a constant issue with my kids lately! They have a snack in the mid-morning recess, then don't eat much lunch, then snack again at the afternoon recess and then again when they first get home from school so, again, not real hungry for dinner. And then of course, they get hungry before bedtime and want to snack again. Trying to get them to be hungry for a real protein at lunch and dinner is so difficult! It is an uphill battle because the school schedule reinforces constant snacking and if you only give them healthy snacks,they complain bitterly that the other kids have the "good stuff" (read high fat and sodium junk). I still try my best to stick to my guns and put more healthy snacks in their backpacks but it is an uphill battle. Thank goodness we don't have obesity or diabetes in our family genetics (so far)....
Hi! Popping over from www.southernmomentum.com. Interested in writing a little something about kids and snacking for our blog and was doing some research on what other Moms have to say. I'm in the same boat with my 2 and 4 year old. I feel like they eat all day! I'm constantly cleaning up one snacking mess after another. Great advise about providing a more substantial snack! My main problem is neither will even try different things. My 2 year old will NOT touch a fruit, a vegetable, or a smoothie. I guess I'll just keep trying! Looking forward to keeping up with this site! One of my favs for sure!
I completely agree! Don't feel bad about offering boring stuff. Buy bags of small apples and keep them on hand in your purse and the car and bring 'em out when the kids are hungry. If they aren't hungry enough to eat an apple, they can probably tough it out till the next meal.

At the institution that I'm at, we've been looking for web applications that enable users to create and deploy their own forms. Similar applications are Wufoo, and google forms. Unfortunately, those solutions will not work for us, because we are required to host all data and information on our own servers. I've found a few solutions that are written in PHP, but at this point, it doesn't appear that this is acceptable.
I've tried searching for ".net form creator" but unfortunately, when you search for ".net forms" you get a lot of results relating to created asp.net webforms, which is not what we're looking for at all. I've been told that finding a solution that runs on .NET and windows servers with either Oracle or MSSQL databases would be much more acceptable. I've found a few, but they are open source, and the IS Security people are not kind to those solutions, despite my attempts to show otherwise.
If anyone knows of some solution out there, I would greatly appreciate you passing on the names of those applications!

Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman: "Ariel Sharon served the State of Israel from its establishment until the last moment he could, taking part in the central events that shaped its character. Sharon will be remembered first of all as a great military commander who led many important battles, most importantly the crossing of the Suez Canal during the Yom Kippur War, as well as the battles of Israel's War of Independence and the establishment of the special 101 Unit, the Sinai Campaign, and more.
Sharon's political legacy has always been controversial, from his tenure as Chairman of the Ministerial Settlement Committee which strengthened Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria, to the disengagement from Gaza which he initiated and implemented. He will go down in the history of Israel as one of the most noteworthy and influential figures."
Indian PM Dr. Manmohan Singh: "I was deeply saddened to learn of the demise of Ariel Sharon. During his long career in public service, Sharon made extremely important contributions to the State of Israel. In this hour of bereavement, please accept our heartfelt condolences and sympathies. As Prime Minister, he took bold steps for peace in the region. We in India recall that he was the first-ever Prime Minister of Israel to visit India in September 2003. His lasting contribution to the promotion of our bilateral ties will be long remembered."
US President Barack Obama: "I send our deepest condolences to the family of former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and to the people of Israel on the loss of a leader who dedicated his life to the State of Israel... As Israel says goodbye to Prime Minister Sharon, we join with the Israeli people in honoring his commitment to his country."Former President George W. Bush: "I was honored to know this man of courage and call him friend. He was a warrior for the ages and a partner in seeking security for the Holy Land and a better, peaceful Middle East."Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton: "Ariel Sharon gave his life to Israel - to bring it into being, to sustain and preserve it, and at the end of his long service, to create a new political party committed to both a just peace and lasting security. It was an honor to work with him, argue with him, and watch him always trying to find the right path for his beloved country."US Secretary of State John Kerry: "Ariel Sharon's journey was Israel's journey. The dream of Israel was the cause of his life, and he risked it all to live that dream... I will never forget meeting with this big bear of a man when he became Prime Minister as he sought to bend the course of history toward peace... He was prepared to make tough decisions because he knew that his responsibility to his people was both to ensure their security and to give every chance to the hope that they could live in peace... In his final years as Prime Minister, he surprised many in his pursuit of peace, and today, we all recognize, as he did, that Israel must be strong to make peace, and that peace will also make Israel stronger. We honor Arik's legacy and those of Israel's founding generation by working to achieve that goal."United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: "Throughout a life dedicated to the State of Israel, Ariel Sharon was a hero to his people, first as a soldier and then a statesman. Prime Minister Sharon will be remembered for his political courage and determination to carry through with the painful and historic decision to withdraw Israeli settlers and troops from the Gaza Strip."British Prime Minister David Cameron: "Ariel Sharon is one of the most significant figures in Israeli history and as Prime Minister he took brave and controversial decisions in pursuit of peace, before he was so tragically incapacitated. Israel has today lost an important leader."Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper: "A renowned military leader, Mr. Sharon pursued the security of Israel with unyielding determination that was recognized by friends and foes alike. He also played a central role in the Israeli government for several years, changing the political landscape through his leadership and vision."French President François Hollande: "Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was a major actor in the history of his country. After a long military and political career, he chose to turn to dialogue with the Palestinians."German Chancellor Angela Merkel praised Sharon as a "Israeli patriot who has rendered great service to his country. With his courageous decision to withdraw the Israeli settlers from the Gaza Strip, he took a historic step on the path to a settlement with the Palestinians and a two-state solution."Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a message of condolence on the passing of the former Prime Minister of Israel, an outstanding statesman and military commander Ariel Sharon, praising Ariel Sharon's personal qualities, his activity to uphold the interests of Israel, noting the respect he enjoyed among his compatriots and internationally.

Jill Abramson Going From 1 Tattoo to Another
The fired Times editor will teach at Harvard.
Former New York Times editor Jill Abramson has landed on her feet after being unceremoniously fired last month, and will teach narrative nonfiction at Harvard next school year, the university announced today. In addition to her New York Times "T," Abramson has a Crimson Harvard "H" inked on her back for her alma mater and her husband Henry, whom she met there in the '70s. "What's next for me?" she said to the graduating class at Wake Forest a few days after her firing. "I don't know, so I'm in exactly the same boat as many of you." Good luck keeping up now, kids.

LONG BEACH, Calif. - On the heels of claiming the Pacific Coast Collegiate Sailing Conference Championships women's singlehanded title earlier on the weekend, the Stanford sailing program excelled on the water during the final two days of the league's fall championships at the U.S. Sailing Center.

Toole and Chung-Wolf will represent the league in the upcoming ICSA Singlehanded Nationals.
In the women's team competition, Hawaii took the title with 83 points. Stanford (106) was second among the six-team field after receiving 43 points in the A-Division (Yuki Yoshiyasu and McKenzie Wilson) and 63 from the B-Division (Rebecca King and Noelle Herring).

On the move: Western Sydney's Shinji Ono and Victory's Adama Traore battle for the ball at Parramatta. Photo: Getty Images
A 10-man Melbourne Victory side overcame a controversial first-half sending off to secure a gritty 2-0 win over Western Sydney at Parramatta Stadium on Saturday night.
The Victory, already without star playmaker Marcos Flores through suspension, looked in for a tough night after defender Sam Gallagher was shown a red card just 16 minutes into his first game for the club. But the Wanderers failed to capitalise, with captain Michael Beauchamp having a night to forget. The centre back's own goal just before half-time gave Melbourne the lead and he was at fault again as Archie Thompson scored in the 60th minute.
It was a valuable win for Ange Postecoglou's side as Victory climbed into equal third on the table with a third win in four games, and it looked unlucky to be reduced to 10 men in the first place. Wanderers striker Dino Kresinger appeared to have fouled Gallagher from behind but play was allowed to continue. Kresinger then broke on goal before being brought down by Gallagher just outside the box and referee Ben Williams produced a red card.

Shinji Ono fired the resulting free kick just wide and Western Sydney missed again with a close range header by Mark Bridge in the 22nd minute that was tipped over the bar by goalkeeper Nathan Coe.
Instead the home side went into half-time behind, after Beauchamp accidentally turned the ball into his own goal while trying to clear a dangerous Gui Finkler ball.
The Wanderers again conceded against the run of play when Socceroos striker Thompson struck. Beauchamp coughed up possession on the halfway line, allowing Marco Rojas to streak downfield and find Thompson with a deflected pass.

Eisai and Quintiles forged a collaboration to co-develop six of Eisai's cancer compounds for multiple indications. The deal covers Ontak®, which was recently granted FDA approval for the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Also included is eribulin mesylate (E7389), for which Eisai separately confirmed plans to submit for regulatory approval in the U.S., Japan, and Europe by the end of this year for the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer.
The other four compounds include: Phase II E7080 for thyroid cancer, Phase II E7820 for colorectal cancer, Phase II E6201 currently being developed for psoriasis, and Phase I E7050.
Eisai and Quintiles will share clinical development risks. Quintiles will carry out Phase II studies for 11 tumor indications under the leadership of its strategic partnering group, NovaQuest. Eisai will continue development of the same six compounds for another 18 indications.
Coiniciding with the Quintiles deal announcement, Eisai separately reported positive data from the Phase III study comparing the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with either eribulin mesylate or a treatment of the physician's choice. These included either single agent chemotherapy, hormonal or biological therapies, or palliative treatment/radiotherapy. Preliminary trial results suggested eribulin mesylate therapy boosted overall survival rates compared with other treatments.
Eaisai is also conducting clinical trials with eribulin mesylate in non-small-cell lung cancer, hormone refractory prostate cancer, and sarcoma. Under terms of the deal with Quintiles, the companies will jointly develop the drug for the NSCLC indication and bladder cancer.
