Attunement means curious, open-hearted listening without judgment. Attunement means dropping your own point of view for a moment to fully inhabit the reasons behind someone else's point of view and its meaning. Attunement means faith that every point of view is compelling and valuable. More than that, every point of view is necessary for us to come to the most creative and intelligent decision.
One of my favorite proponents of attunement is Arnold Mindell.* His name for it is "Deep Democracy." The Process Work Institute in Portland believes in the value of all points of view. In their conflict-resolution program, facilitators deliberately look for all opinions. If no one will speak up at a meeting for a particular point of view, the facilitator herself will take on that role. Their commitment to listening to everyone comes out of a fundamental belief that everyone must be heard and understood to create truly inspired decisions.*
Take-Home Point: Attunement, or Deep Democracy, means taking the time to learn all points of view and coordinate them into a new, higher understanding of the issue at hand.
*Arnold Mindell, Sitting in the Fire (Portland, Oregon: Lao Tse Press, 1996).

Christian author and screenwriter Brian Godawa has partnered with Movie to Movement and ChristianCinema.com to hold an online discussion about the recently released film "Noah." He will explore the film, scripture and culture.
Author of the non-fiction book, Hollywood Worldviews: Watching Films with Wisdom and Discernment, and of the Amazon bestselling Biblical fiction title "Noah Primeval," part of the "Chronicles of the Nephilim" series, Godawa has been a much sought after expert on the intersection of faith and film.
Movie to Movement, the largest Christian entertainment engagement community and ChristianCinema.com, the most visited movie website in the faith-based market, will present this definitive faith-based discussion regarding Noah on Monday, March 31 at 8 p.m. EST, online at http://www.twubs.com/TalkNoah and on Twitter at #TalkNoah.
Combining his Hollywood experience with his extensive research on Noah as presented in Jewish and Christian historical writings, Godawa will take questions about "Noah" in the context of both. Examples of questions include: Should Christian's support films like Noah? How Biblical is this film? Can Hollywood make Biblical films? How can we find out more about characters like the Watchers and the Nephilim?
During the chat, participants will be encouraged to tweet in questions and comments about the film "Noah" with Godawa anticipating an engaging and lively discussion on faith, filmmaking, and this often misunderstood portion of scripture. Topics will include amazing, lesser known facts about Noah and this time period, The Bible, Environmentalism, the persona of Noah and his wife and daughters, and how Christians can better discern the intent of filmmakers, be better informed on scripture, and articulately engage in pop culture.
Bobby Downes from ChristianCinema.com explains, "Our mission is to provide a platform for Christian artists like Brian Godawa. This is an online discussion where Brian has graciously offered to share his knowledge of both the story of Noah and the craft of storytelling through movies. This is truly a unique opportunity for anyone who is interested in history, scripture, culture or who is just a fan of films. I know our audience will walk away informed and encouraged after this amazing event."
"Most religious people see this film as an opportunity to engage with the culture around them and to talk about something that is normally suppressed or dismissed," explains Godawa. "If you choose to see Noah, use this as an opportunity to express to those who have seen it what you thought of it and how your personal faith in the God of Noah has affected your life. Talk about your own interpretation of the Noah story in the Bible. Speak the truth in love. I plan to."

Even though the calendar says that it's fall and pumpkins appear in store windows and on porches, our "summer" has finally arrived! In July and August, it wasn't unusual to have my son bundled up in his winter coat & hat on morning walks. If you ever plan a visit to San Francisco/Sonoma/Napa, I suggest coming in September and October. The mornings are cool and sometimes foggy but mostly the fog hits during the summer months, hence "June gloom." The afternoons right now are bright, clear, and warm.
"Perfect 10" days beckon us outside. Who wants to be inside?
This explains why I haven't been much in the mood to bake, but a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to bake something fall-ish and was inspired to make my own granola. I've tried various brands of granola over the years and haven't found one I'm crazy about; they've been either too sugary or too expensive.
So, I figured why not try it for myself?

|NCCU at East Carolina
Apr. 2, 2013 | 6 p.m. (ET)
Greenville, N.C.
Watch | Live Stats | ECU Notes | NC State Notes | C-USA Notes | Tickets | Gameday Central
ECU and NC State will meet in first of two meetings in over a seven day span when the Wolfpack travels to Greenville tonight ... ECU is coming off a home-and-home series sweep against N.C. Central, while NC State picked up an ACC series win over Maryland ... Both teams have posted a 4-6 record in their last 10 games.
ECU has had a power surge of late at the dish hitting 13 home runs in its last 13 games with a season-high four at Elon ... Chase McDonald leads the club with four homers, while Jay Cannon (three), Dylan Brown (two), Zach Houchins (two) and Luke Lowery (two) also have multi-homers on the year ... Brown and Houchins are tied for the team lead with 10 extra bases hits ... To go along with his two homers, Brown has six doubles and two triples, while Houchins has a team-best seven doubles and one triple with his two round trippers ... Cannon extended his streak of reaching base safely to 17 games with his 2-for-4 performance at N.C. Central that consisted of a pair of doubles ... Freshman Travis Watkins leads the team with a .328 average and has recorded five multi-hit games ... Junior reliever Drew Reynolds ranks second and leads ECU with six saves (6-for-7 in save opportunities) ... His 16 career saves moves him into a tie for third place on the school's all-time list with former All-American Greg Bunn (2002-04).
ECU enters this week leading the league with a .281 batting average, while ranking second in hits (266), slugging percentage (.386) and home runs (17) ... On the flip side of things, the pitching staff ranks last in ERA (4.85), opposing batting average (.280) and walks (125).
Through 26 games this season, the Pirates have allowed 171 free bases to opponents (125 walks, 46 hit batters), which leads Conference USA ... ECU has outscored its opponents 152-151.
Sophomore Jeff Hoffman earned ECU's second Conference USA Pitcher-of-the-Week honor on Monday following his complete game, one-hit shutout against N.C. Central ... Hoffman struck out seven batters, walked three and hit a pair in his first career complete game ... He allowed just two runners to reach scoring position and retired 27 of 32 batters faces, including nine of the final 10 to pick up his third win of the season ... It was the Pirates' first one-hit complete game shutout since Ricky Brooks' gem against Charlotte back on March 26, 2006 ... This was Hoffman's second career weekly honor from C-USA following his 10-strikeout performance at Elon (Apr. 10, 2012) in eight shutout frames.
Redshirt freshman David Lucroy earned his first Conference USA Pitcher-of-the-Week honors after tossing a two-hit complete game shutout against Monmouth (Mar. 10) in the series clinching win ... The right-hander struck out a career-high 12 batters with nine going down swinging ... It was the first complete game shutout since Seth Maness' 4-0 win over Southern Miss in the 2011 Conference USA Championships.
Nine first year players have seen action on the diamond this season through 28 games ... If you include players that redshirted during their first year in the Pirate program (2012 season), then 12 newcomers have stepped on the field during the regular season.
NC State holds a commanding 65-39 overall record in the series ... A year ago the two teams split the home-and-home series with each club winning on their respective home fields.
Tuesday: Ryan Wilkins (RHP, 2-1, 3.44 ERA) vs. Ryan Williams (RHP, 5-1, 3.97 ERA)
Williams Notes: Leads team with five wins, while ranking second in C-USA ... Appeared in eight games (six starts) ...

He recorded a pair of game-winning RBI (Elon, NCCU), had an extra base hit in 3 of 4 contests, posted a pair of multi-hit games and had at least one base knock in all four contests during the Pirates 3-1 week ... Against William & Mary he was 1-for-3 with a double ... At in-state rival Elon, he collected a pair of hits after entering the game as a pinch hitter in the sixth ... During that at-bat, with the game tied at four, Houchins delivered a two-RBI double off the wall in left center scoring Luke Lowery and Bryan Bass giving the Pirates a 6-4 lead - which they would never relinquish ... Later in the game he recorded his third RBI of the afternoon with an RBI single through the left side in the ninth scoring Bass ... Houchins followed that game with a 3-for-4 performance against N.C. Central coming a homer shy of hitting for the cycle ... In his first at-bat he laced an RBI double to left field scoring Dylan Brown for a 1-0 ECU lead (game-winning hit) ... He followed that with and RBI triple to right center in the third plating Jay Cannon ... In the fourth frame he singled to left center and came 10 feet short of hitting for the cycle when he flied out to deep center in the sixth ... To wrap up the week, Houchins went 1-for-5 on the road at NCCU with a single and a run scored in the first inning at the historic Durham Athletic Park ... On the season he is batting .278 (20-for-72) with seven doubles, triple, two home runs, 18 RBI and 15 runs scored.

In "Fading Gigolo," John Turturro plays a "ho" and Woody Allen is his unlikely pimp. Turturro wrote, directed and stars in the film but the strengths don't lie in direction or script, but in star power. Woody Allen back in the actor's seat is hilarious. Set aside your feelings about the hoopla surrounding Allen's personal life, and you can have fun watching him as Murray, the owner of a fading Manhattan bookstore. Murray needs cash and lands an opportunity to make $1000 dollars by pimping out his friend.
Fioravante (Turturro) is Murray's glum faced friend who works in a floral shop. He is quiet and has a hangdog look as he creates flower arrangements in a quiet shop. Murray tells him of an opportunity to make money if he agrees to provide a ménage for his dermatologist (Sharon Stone) and her sexy friend Selima (Sofia Vergara).
For much of the film, Fioravante's loneliness and disappointment in life are obvious but not funny. When his eyes aren't rousing pity, they appear in a catatonic trance and it is not clear what the actor was going for here. During the second half it would be nice if Cher's character from "Moonstruck" would come along and slap him hard in the face to wake him up. Turturro is usually a compelling actor so what happened here? The problems lie in the script. The movie isn't sure where it's going.
"Fading Gigolo" is really two separate films. In the trailer it appears that the movie is a riotous comedy. It doesn't show that the other half of the movie is a lovelorn drama. Granted, comedy and drama often work well together. Not so much here. If Turturro had stuck to comedy it could've been a hit. Turturro would've been wise to work on the script longer and hire skillful editors, maybe even Allen himself.
Overall, it is an enjoyable film but disappointing. With the unusual premise it could've been great — hey, it's hard out there for an old Jewish pimp. Sinfully, Stone and Vergara were not used to their capacity. They appear in very few scenes and their characters are flat and cartoonish. With their talent and the right dialogue they could've brought raucous humor. Sigh, if only Allen had written the script. Instead they are beautiful, bland and background.
The movie takes a strange turn when the fragile Hasidic widow Avigal (Vanessa Paradis) becomes a customer. Hopefully we'll see much more of Paradis in American movies. Best known as Johnny Depp's ex-longterm love and the mother of his children, here she gives a riveting performance during every millisecond of screen time. She was so compelling her storyline should've been made into a feature-length drama.
Liev Schreiber shows up for a fun schtick as Dovi, a Hasidic cop who has been desperately lovesick for Avigal since childhood. Schreiber reinvented himself by 180 degrees. He's nothing like his magnetically sexy, macho role as Ray Donovan. At times Schreiber seems so tickled by playing Dovi that he might burst out laughing, which is endearing.
Woody Allen fans can add a star. It's really his movie. Sorry John!
"Fading Gigolo" is a comedy drama. It opens April 18, 2014. Rated R. 90 minutes.

College Hockey:Holy Cross Keeps Playoff Hopes Alive
Crusaders Dismantle Bentley
WORCESTER, Mass. — Holy Cross sophomore Brandon Doria tallied his first career hat trick to lead the Crusader hockey team to a 6-2 victory over Bentley.
On the way to the win, Holy Cross scored three times on the power play while Derek Cunha made 28 saves between the pipes for his second victory of the year. The Crusaders improved to 7-19-2 overall and 7-13-2 in the MAAC to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Doria scored at 5:56 of the opening period on the power play and added another goal, his 11th of the year, at 12:04 to give his team a 2-0 lead. Goal No.3 for Doria, another power-play strike, came at 18:38 of the second period and gave the Crusaders a 4-1 advantage.
Pat Rissmiller, Tim Coskren and John Bombard also added goals for Holy Cross, while Rissmiller (1 goal, 1 assist) and freshman Jeff Dams (2 assists) finished with two points each. Bombard's tally came shorthanded late in the third period.
Bentley's Paul Monzione and captain Steve Tobio scored the goals for the Falcons. Monzione made it 3-1 with his fifth goal of the season at 19:48 of the first period when he deflected home a shot by sophomore Marcus Willy while Tobio notched his third goal of the season on the power play with nine seconds left in the game.
Bill Bridge made 32 saves in goal for Bentley, who dipped to 4-18-2 overall, 3-16-2 in MAAC play.

Larry Simons slashed the cost of his 50-mile round trip to work by two-thirds several years ago.
Simons, supervisor of the West Texas A&M University carpenter shop, carpools to the Canyon campus from Happy with two co-workers.
Each man drives for a week at a time on a rotating basis, Simons said, estimating the cost of his week's worth of driving at about $50.
The arrangement works so well the trio would take on another passenger "but we all drive a pickup, so three of us is all that can ride," he said.
The carpooling carpenters are part of a commuting minority, however.
By 2005, only 10.7 percent of American commuters were carpooling, down from 12.2 percent in 2000, according to statistics just released by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Meanwhile, the share of people driving alone increased slightly, to 77 percent in 2005.
The figures jibe, anecdotally, with Mark Hiner's attempt to gauge interest in carpooling among WT employees a few years ago, when gas prices hit $2.25 a gallon. The small number of respondents to the questionnaire sent out by Hiner, WT director of personnel services, said they already had formed carpools.
But the majority expressed preference for driving alone by their silence.
"We're creatures of habit, Hiner said. "We'd all rather climb in our own vehicles and listen to our own music on the way to work. I keep thinking gas prices are going to overcome all that, but it sure didn't when we were trying to arrange the carpool service."
The portion of Americans taking public transit also is low: 4.7 percent.
Ridership has increased on the 12 buses the city of Amarillo runs on fixed routes and on the city's SpecTrans bus service for people who have disabilities, said city Transit Manager Judy Phelps.
Bus riders logged 387,298 one-way trips in the 2005-2006 fiscal year, compared to 356,297 one-way trips the previous year, she said.
But most commuters haven't reached the point where they'll exchange commuting time for the savings on gas, Phelps said.
"People are very time sensitive. They're already pushed to the limit," she said. "Amarillo is a car town. You can get across town in 15 minutes. ... Some of our bus routes are an hour and 15 minutes long.
"People here, I think, will drive if fuel costs $5 a gallon, and the main reason is our city is not built in a way that supports public transportation."
What that means, Phelps said, is that people can't find the wide range of services within steps of a bus stop that they can in more densely packed urban areas.
"In cities that are built to support public transportation, you can get off the bus, stop by a cleaners, pick up your grocery store items, stop at the child-care center, and then you could walk home within a couple of blocks," she said.
Operation of the bus system continues to be a struggle as the city lays out more for diesel fuel and pulls in less in federal funding administered by the state, she said.
The city received $545,114 this fiscal year to operate both the fixed-route system and SpecTrans, down from the $672,980 allotted in 2003-04.
"And it gets worse," Phelps said, explaining that funding in 2009-10 is expected to be $400,156.
"It is so bleak. So far, the city has been able to make up the difference. However, I do not know if that trend can continue. It's not just our fuel budget, it's police, fire, solid waste (collection)."

A panel from page 20...still in progress with the color, but I think I've settled into a style for inking the book where I'm most comfortable. It's similar to R&I, maybe a little tighter, and I'm playing around with some texture in the coloring. More to come soon.

CORA look test
Below is a panel that will (most likely) be indicative of the style of the book. I'm trying to keep the drawings loose and spontaneous as well as to have a better balance of black and white than R&I did, while being a bit more refined than R&I in the linework.
This was drawn in photoshop with an elliptical brush that has a rotation on it. It feels more like an ink brush which I like because it makes calligraphic marks and gives me more thicks and thins in the lines.

Angoulême 2008
The best parts of my France trip were not necessarily seeing the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe or the Musée D'Orsay for the first time, or the fine meals I ate while in the various cities, but rather the terrific people I met along the way. Here are just a few of the fine folks I met on my trip to France.
Richard and Emmanuel (L to R), editors of Akileos. I had my first meeting with them in San Diego last year and between now and then they really stepped up to make the French edition of Rose and Isabel a terrific looking book. They have been great to work with and the book is a wonderful result of their collaboration. Huge thanks to them for making this whole experience happen!(pictured here at Album in St. Germán.)
Dean and Barbara Yeagle (seated across from each other at far table position) and Jean-Jaques and Diane Launier (seated across from each other at middle table position). This was taken at dinner after an opening of Dean's art at Gallery Arludik in Paris. They are a very friendly couple and were a pleasure to hang out with during my stay. Jean-Jaques and Diane are the owners of Gallery Arludik and have been putting on shows by tremendous artists over the years. Their passion for animation as art was very inspiring and they were very gracious in showing us a fun time while we were in Paris.
I met Christopher and Brigitte while in Tours; Christopher is a well established comic artist that lives and works in Tours. He was incredibly gracious in lending his day to translate for Bill and I, as well as taking pictures of us signing and showing us around. Brigitte is from Bédélire books, an amazing shop where we did our signing; Brigitte made sure that we were well taken care of and enjoyed our time in Tours.
Here I am at the Hotel Mercure in Angoulême with (L to R) Christopher, Ben Cornish and Nick Parry-Jones, who work for Diamond UK and Legends, two fine Brits who I had the pleasure of drinking some beers with. Very funny fellows both.
Nicolas Seigneret (Bannister) and his girlfriend Flora. Bannister and Flora are an artist/writer team who have stories in the Flight compilations as well as books published by Dupuis. I had chatted with Bann via email and the web over the years and we finally got to meet in person at Angoulême.
Here we are with Jean Giraud! at The Hotel Mercure. The Mercure was the spot to hang out and socialize with fellow artists and exhibitors after dinner. Jean Giraud was very kind to accept copies of our books.
Many thanks also go out to the people who facilitated our signings and those that came by to check out Rose and Isabel at the stores and the festival. I've said it before about the San Diego Con and will say it about Angoulême as well -- it's meeting people that's the most fun for me. Thank you all for coming by!

It's a rainy day and will be the rest of the week.
I should have bought those rain boots on clearance yesterday.
Is it the weekend yet?
2 months until vacation.
Loving our redesigned living room!
Never forget your stroller when heading to the mall.
How is it possible that we have a 16 month old?
And why is it 70 degrees in January?

'Twas a Very Good Year
We can't believe 2011 is in its final hours. It seems like just yesterday that we had guests jumping in the pool at the stroke of midnight 1/1/11 (don't get any ideas!). The old saying "Time flies when you're having fun" couldn't be more true! Let's look back just a few of our favorite PCI '11 moments…
2011 started with a bang (and a splash). Although it was a little chilly, our poolside party brought in a great crowd who danced along to the music spun by our pool deck DJ until 2AM. It's going to be difficult to top last year, but we think we're on the right track. This year we've moved the party to the beach with LIVE music by Anchor Atlantic, plus we've done away with the cover charge, so entry is FREE.
Last March we introduced our new hot breakfast items at the PCI Snack Shack. No longer would guests have to walk a half mile or more for their brekkie faves. Open daily at 7AM, we're still whipping up egg sandwiches and burritos, oatmeal, and fresh fruit cups to safisfy even the hungriest of our guests.
In April we were honored with a visit by a true travelling celebrity. Travel Channel's Samantha Brown not only came and stayed with us, but shot a commercial right here on property for her signature luggage line. We're happy to report that she's as nice as she seems on TV… maybe even nicer.
In June we celebrated St. Pete Pride with our friends from Watermark. For a celebration traditionally centered in the downtown area, this was a brand new option, bringing the pride to SPB. The party lasted all weekend long with activities and fun from the banquet hall to the beach.
We saw some fierce competition in mid-July during the SUP paddle board race. With multiple races based on distance and skill, this was an all day event. How did our racers celebrate their feats of atheticism? With BBQ and brews, of course!
Although we enjoy an endless summer here, we're always down for a celebration. Labor Day, as the unofficial end of summer, was is a great excuse to party beachside over a long September weekend. Helping us do so, were our friends at Pacifico, who introduced Pacifico Draft to the U.S. East Coast right here at PCI.
Now there's no calling us a spoiled only child because in November the classic Holiday Isle property in Islamorada became our sister Postcard Inn! Not one to live in our vast SPB shadow, PCI-HI is already famous for the creation of the very first rumrunner. Next time you're in the Keys, be sure to stop by and say HI!
We had a very merry December this year thanks to so many of you joining us! The weather was beach-perfect, rates were discounted, and Beachwood BBQ & Burger was open regular hours on Christmas Eve and Day. All in all it was a perfect holiday season.
Tonight we're wrapping up this wonderful year and kicking off 2012 in true PCI style- on the beach with a bonfire and live music by Anchor Atlantic. Yes, we're ready for another awesome, adventurous, busy, fantastic, and above all fun year here at PCI. We hope you can join us!

It was a great week for investors in many of China's publicly traded e-commerce companies. Several of the country's growth darlings came through with double-digit percentage gains as investors flocked back into Chinese equities that specialize in retail transactions. Let's check out some of the shining stars that came through with big moves last week.
|June 27
|Weekly Gain
|LightInTheBox (NYSE:LITB)
|58.com (NYSE:WUBA)
|Dangdang (NYSE:DANG)
|JD.com (NASDAQ:JD)
Let's start with LightInTheBox. The China-based online retailer surged on Friday after boosting its top-line guidance. It now sees revenue for the quarter ending today clocking in between $86 million and $88 million, up 19% to 22% from the prior year's second quarter. This is just a $2 million increase, so why did it result in a $65 million pop in LightInTheBox's market cap? Well, since LightInTheBox went public last year it has done nothing but disappoint investors. This is the first time in its brief exchange-traded tenure that it has boosted its outlook.
LightInTheBox sells a wide range of dresses and home fixtures, but it sells primarily outside of China. Europe accounts for more than half of its sales. An improving top-line outlook is the first encouraging sign that investors have seen in a long time.
58.com popped after dot-com giant Tencent announced a nearly 20% stake in the online marketplace. 58.com is called the Craigslist of China by some, given the similarities. But when you pair Tencent's 20% chunk of 58.com with its recent purchase of a 15% stake in JD.com back in March, you have a company telegraphing its clear intent to play a more prominent role in e-commerce in China.
JD.com accounts for nearly half of China's B2C, or business to consumer, market. It serves 47.4 million active customer accounts, with revenue soaring 68% to $1.5 billion last year. Between its minority stakes in JD.com and 58.com, Tencent is now a difference maker in e-tail. JD.com's shares rose 10% on the week.
Given all of the buzz surrounding Chinese e-commerce -- whether it's Tencent snapping up a minority stake in 58.com or LightInTheBox boosting its guidance -- it probably isn't a surprise to see Dangdang go along for the ride. Dangdang was the first pure play on China's booming e-tail market to hit a stateside exchange. It originally sold books, but it has now expanded to cover a broader spectrum of general merchandise.
The gains are naturally welcome, but given the volatility that we've experienced over the past few years when it comes to China's leading Internet companies, it's a safe bet that the wild swings will continue in the near term.
You can't afford to miss this
"Made in China" -- an all too familiar phrase. But not for much longer: There's a radical new technology out there, one that's already being employed by the U.S. Air Force, BMW and even Nike. Respected publications like The Economist have compared this disruptive invention to the steam engine and the printing press; Business Insider calls it "the next trillion dollar industry." Watch The Motley Fool's shocking video presentation to learn about the next great wave of technological innovation, one that will bring an end to "Made In China" for good. Click here!

Sahara Lebanese Cuisine Restaurant Review: This intimate, authentic Lebanese eatery uses recipes based on time-honored family dishes, so the cooking appeals to foodies who really want decent home-cooking, but not fast food. In that vein, the menu is structured to present a lunch buffet plus standard items of spinach- or cheese-filled pastries and stuffed grape leaves to start and entrées like chicken shwarma and a gyro platter with fattoush, tabbouleh and hummus. Classic Mediterranean desserts --- think baklava --- conclude the meal.

Jennifer Esposito has become famous for her roles in TV shows such as "Blue Blood." For years, however, she struggled with mysterious symptoms that no physician could diagnose. In an exclusive interview on Thursday, Jennifer told me about her journey, which she writes about in her new book "Jennifer's Way: My Journey with Celiac Disease--What Doctors Don't Tell You and How You Can Learn to Live Again."
From a young age, Jennifer had stomach problems. Because celiac disease impact her nervous system, Jennifer told me that she experienced "severe panic attacks, numbness in my hands, and even hair loss. At one point I had a lump in my neck the size of a small grapefruit."
Jennifer reached what she calls her "breaking point" when she lost a tooth on the "Samantha Who?" set. She knew she needed to persist and get a real diagnosis.
The immediate reaction when she learned that she had celiac? "My first reaction was relief, finally after all these years and a countless amount of doctor's visits I had an answer, a diagnosis," Jennifer told me.
After researching what her diagnosis meant, Jennifer "realized just how much my life would have to change. There is so much more to celiac disease than just cutting out bread and pasta from your diet."
Jennifer emphasizes that celiac disease is not a fad. It's a serious condition, and just 1/8 teaspoon of gluten can make her feel sick for days. Adding to the problems: "Most people who have celiac disease also form allergies to other foods."
Because of the link between celiac disease and food alleriges, Jennifer believes in the benefits of a rotation diet. She explains how and why to use that type of food plan in her book.
Now that she's been diagnosed, her life "has changed in every way imaginable. I had to change everything from the way I eat, to the beauty products I use to where I go out to eat."
From traveling to social events, following a diet appropriate for celiac disease is challenging. "Everywhere I go I need a kitchen that hasn't been cross-contaminated, which makes holidays like Thanksgiving very difficult!" Jennifer told me.
Jennifer has created her own bakery, Jennifer's Way. She caters to those with food allergies, so that everything is gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, sugar-free and organic.
"I eat a lot of fresh vegetables and try to spruce up my menu as much as I can. I love to cook and bake so it's fun to come up with new recipes," she told me.
To others with celiac, Jennifer offers this advice: "Be persistent! Make sure your doctor tests you right away because the longer you wait the more damage occurs to your body."
She also credits the celiac community for their support. "Having celiac disease affects everyone around you socially, so it's important to surround yourself with people that really understand the disease," she told me.
Jennifer is not the only celebrity to step forward and talk about her celiac disease in order to help others. Elisabeth Hasselbeck also suffers from the condition. And like Jennifer, she struggled to get an answer to her symptoms.
She's written her own cookbook to help: "Deliciously G-Free: Food So Flavorful They'll Never Believe It's Gluten-Free." And even though more products are labeled gluten-free now, both she and Jennifer emphasize it's essential to become a food sleuth for those with the condition.

@ Thesmart: Anarchy is the ultimate level of smaller gov't so embraced by conservatives. It is the ultimate on "individual rights" also embraced by conservatives. Funny how they want us to go in that direction but not get there. Methinks they are interested in "smaller gov't" confined to the hands of the 1% and any and all lame goods they want to shove down our throats.
Paul is an illusion as well. His history does not speak well for the future of many in this country, especially Blacks. He does not embrace all of America, not by a long shot.

It's extremely detestable. I feel like throwing up everytime I smell it :-[
When I was really little I'd always have it on hotdogs, but now I don't touch the stuff.
is sauerkraut considered a condiment?
I'm not to sure really...
I think it is.
Sauerkraut is freaking amazing. Though I'm not sure if it's a condiment.
Ever had sauerkraut and kilbasa?
Sauerkraut is a condiment.
Can someone please explain this posting of misc. forum content in the art gallery?
its the condiments forum now
Fuck this, quit killing the
stop spamming eon spirit
You are, I'm not :P
Do you think wrecking the other forums will fix misc?
Probably not. The people affected in the wrecked forums will realise the motives and take it out on the Misc. Thus driving the Misc further into shoddiness.
Excuse me, this is to talk about how nasty Sourcrap is.
Yes, it's now called sourcrap.
Star, please, shut up.
Ummmmm no. You are not my mom or anyone I really respect so you have no right to tell me what to do. You are basically raping my wonderful thread about sauerkraut (which by the way is pretty disgusting).
This isn't really humorous. I'd go along with it if it were.
Do you realize you're yelling at the forum administrator?

A farmer's wilderness deal
I followed a log truck on a dirt road, breathing the dust it churned up -- heading to the RY Timber mill in Townsend, Montana, last Friday.
The truck stopped on the scales by the mill to have its load weighed.
I kept going only a few more yards to strangest-ever press conference for a wilderness proposal.
The star was Montana Sen. Jon Tester, the most genuine workingman in Congress. He's a third-generation farmer who comes home from D.C. frequently to drive a tractor and turn whatever wrenches need turning on his spread ...
Tester stood in a curve of the dirt road beyond the log scales. He looked far more like a farmer than a senator -- with his flattop haircut and his bulk bulging in a plain blue shirt, the sleeves rolled up on his thick forearms, belly sagging over his belt, black jeans and black boots. There was no shade and he sweated under the hot sun.
The usual flags (Montana and America) flanked Tester, their shiny bronzed stands resting on the dirt. A sign in front of him announced the reason he was there: He was unveiling a new bill that he wants to push through Congress. The sign said "The Forest Jobs and Recreation Act." It had more phrases in smaller letters, none of which even mentioned the word "wilderness."
About 60 people -- including at least a dozen from the Montana Wilderness Association -- formed a well-behaved crowd facing the senator. Many carried their own signs that said scripted lines like, "Thank You Sen. Tester." Journalists pointed cameras and microphones and took notes.
Finally it was time to begin. Everyone faced the American flag as RY Timber's general manager, Ed Regan, led a reciting of the pledge of allegiance.
Then Tester stepped to the podium that was also placed on the dirt road and began talking about his bill. It would designate more than 660,000 acres of new wilderness areas while mandating logging on 100,000 acres over the next 10 years, plus a lot of forest restoration projects, as the Great Falls Tribune reported in a good summation. "This bill has something good in it for everybody," Tester said.
But it was clear that the speech was another form of labor for Tester.
He read the pages of a prepared statement, glancing up at the crowd now and then. He seemed a bit self-conscious even in the physical act of turning the pages with his left hand, which has only a thumb and a little finger. He lost the other three fingers on that hand when he was a kid working in a custom butcher shop on his parent's farm (a meatgrinder accident). When he wasn't turning the pages of his statement, he stuck that hand in his jeans pocket.
Tester's toughness is also clear in how he's grinded out the components of his wilderness bill, already asserting himself as a leader just partway through his debut Senate term.
I wrote about the controversies in High Country News, under headlines: "Taking Control of the Machine: Environmentalists and timber companies push big experiments in national forests."
Tester's bill would affect three national forests in Montana. More accurately, it would take control of some aspects of managing those three forests -- reducing the U.S. Forest Service's degree of control.
Much of it is based on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge Partnership, a collaborative effort that seeks to guarantee a flow of timber to local mills while doing wilderness and forest restoration (as my story explained in some detail).
As Tester said, "Montana forest communities are in crisis."
Tester's bill makes some changes to the Beaverhead-Deerlodge Partnership's proposal for the B-D forest. It would:
-- Designate more than 500,000 acres of new wilderness areas in the B-D forest and other nearby federal land (about 65,000 acres less than the Partnership wants).
-- Create three new national recreation areas in the B-D forest totaling about 250,000 acres -- a gesture to those who like motorized recreation. Motors would be allowed on designated "trails and routes" in those recreation areas.
-- And instead of promising to reclaim all new roads that are blazed for logging and restoration projects in the B-D forest, Tester's bill says some new roads might be converted into recreational trails (motorized and nonmotorized).
Basically, Tester added some gimmes for the B-D forest motorheads.
The timber industry would get guarantees of 7,000 acres of logging per year in the B-D forest plus 3,000 acres per year in the Kootenai National Forest plus help building a bioenergy plant to use small-diameter timber.
Tester's bill would also "release" more than 200,000 acres that are now in "wilderness study areas" in and near the B-D forest. Those acres would no longer have that special protection.
Tester's website has the full text of the Forest Jobs and Recreation Act and a map showing the areas it would affect in the three national forests. The Missoulian has straight stories on the initial press conference amid the sawdust and a second public meeting a day later in another timber town.
Environmentalists who don't like the Partnership and the bill get some additional play in an earlier post on this blog and on NewWest.net.
Tester concluded his press conference on the dirt road talking about what will happen with the bill. He said he hopes it will get some discussion in the Senate this fall and be passed early next year. He also said it may be tuned more as he hears from more of his constituents -- and as the interest groups take their concerns to the whole Senate.
"I look forward to hearing feedback," Tester said. "In some aspects the work is just beginning."
By then he was using his ground-up left hand to hold a folded paper towel, pressing the paper towel to his forehead repeatedly to wipe off his sweat.
"Nobody gets everything in this business (politics)," he said. "It's a lot of give and take."

Update: The former head of the Montana Wilderness Association, a timber analyst and a radio show weigh in
Fortunately, the Great Falls Tribune's Lowdown blog has the entire press conference (in three parts) at:
Also at that link, you can download audio of the entire Q/A between Senator Tester and the reporters. Notice how Senator Tester was asked (and pretty much entirely ignored or danced around) a bunch of important questions regarding how all this mandated logging will pay for restoration work given there's no demand for lumber.
Well, one major concern with this bill is the notion that we can use money generated from logging to pay for needed restoration work. That strategy has largely failed to pay for much restoration work even when lumber demand and prices were high. The fact that the Forest Service in MT and ID has over $100 million in "shovel ready" restoration work just waiting for funding proves this point. Much of this restoration work was actually part of these former "stewardship logging contracts." The logging got finished, but there was no money left to do much of the restoration work.
Now that there's no demand for lumber and lumber prices are low and we're in the the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression this "stewardship logging" strategy is even more bankrupt.
For example, the Beaverhead Partners have already proposed a test pilot project called the East Deerlodge Valley Project. The Forest Service analyzed the project area and found 3000 acres suitable for logging. Apparently, in a private meeting with the Forest Service, MT TU Bruce Farling and Sun Mountain Lumber's Steve Flynn objected to "only" 3000 acres of logging and instead have proposed 10,000 acres for logging. I have the actual maps the Forest Service produced. Ironically, the maps are called the Sun Mountain Lumber Additions.
Funny thing, for every acre of more logging above 3000 acres, the project actually loses more money. How such an approach pays for all that restoration work these "partners" keep touting is a real mystery.
Maybe that just isn't possible, judging by the criticism from environmentalists and multiple motors groups. But I took the time to read details of the bill, and I like it. I think it reflects what Montanans are seeking--a common sense, middle of the road approach over this whole debate.
I'll bet Montanans get behind him on this as soon as they get a chance to look it over.
The link above contains a sampling of the types of comments submitted to the US Senate Subcommittee on Public Lands and Forests regarding S1470, the Forest Jobs and Recreation Act, by members of the Last Best Place Wildlands Campaign. These comments were officially entered into the record for the Subcommittee's hearing on S1470.
The Last Best Place Wildlands Campaign is a coalition of conservation organizations and citizens dedicated to wildlands protection, forest restoration and the sound long-term management of America's public lands legacy. Our coalition includes 4th and 5th generation Montanans, hikers and backpackers, hunters and anglers, wildlife viewers, outfitters and guides, veterans, retired Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management officials, small-business owners, scientists, educators, craftspersons, and community leaders. Learn more about S1470 at http://testerloggingbilltruths.wordpress.com.
One also wonders if these comments below from the top US Forest Service official in the land will be taken into consideration by Senator Tester. Specifically, Under Secretary Harris Sherman had this to say at the Dec 17 Senate Hearing regarding S1470:
"If the Committee decides to go forward with a bill, we would urge you to first, alter or remove the highly specific timber supply requirements, which in our view are not reasonable or achievable.
Secondly, we like to urge you to amend the National Environmental Policy Act related provisions, which in our view are flawed and are legally vulnerable.
Thirdly, we would urge you to consider the budgetary implications to meet the bill's requirements. If we were to go forward with S1470 it would require far greater resources to do that and it will require us to draw these monies from forests within Region One or from other Regions."
"The levels of mechanical treatment that are called for in S1470 are likely unachievable and perhaps unsustainable."
"There is the likelihood that if Congress were to move forward and pass legislation such as we are talking about today, that other regions will want to do so similarly. Now, if that happens, my concern is that there will be somewhat of a balkanization that occurs between the different regions in the country. Those who are first in may get funded and those who come later may find there are less funds available. There will be certain 'haves' and 'have nots' that result from this process. Then in someways there is no longer a true national review, an effort to sift out what priorities ought to exist across the country."

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Evan Moffitt reviews the recent exhibition Sarah Awad: Gate Paintings at Diane Rosenstein, Los Angeles.
Moffitt writes: "In The Poetics of Space, French phenomenologist Gaston Bachelard said of the word 'door' that 'through meaning it encloses, while through poetic expression it opens up.' The same could be said of Awad's gates and their relationship to the history of painting. If Awad felt fenced in by the opposition of abstraction and figuration, the works in 'Gate Paintings' manage to escape this constricting narrative by refusing to commit to either mode. As much as the paintings seduce with surface beauty, they invite us to break through the picture plane and enter a garden of possibility."
Eve Wood reviews the recent exhibition Sarah Awad: The Women at Diane Rosenstein Fine Art, Los Angeles.
Wood writes: "For this show, Awad's paintings are divided into two groups: large-scale female nudes and landscapes. Yet, compositionally, these two distinct categories are at once blurred though vaguely connected through space and movement. In Untitled Reclining Women (2013), for example, the landscape surrounding the women interrupts the literal physical space of their bodies, pulsing forward yet simultaneously receding. This effect suffuses all the work in the exhibition creating the experience of a journey through color, space and shape, rather than a set of distinctly articulated separate images. Untitled (Glacier V) (2013) visually conflates the natural landscape with the physicality of the human form as though the central yellow shape at the heart of the image was a woman reclining on a couch, yet it also 'reads' as a disrupted, jagged imaginative structure that appears to be shifting."
A report on a panel discussion about contemporary painting at the exhibition Paradox Maintenance Technicians at the Torrance Art Museum, California, on view through March 9, 2013. The exhibition surveys contemporary painting in Los Angeles and beyond featuring the work of 26 painters.
"Despite some disagreement about whether painting was dead as a medium (or whether that was even a relevant question anymore) all the panelists did seem to agree that a resurgence of painting was taking place today in Los Angeles and elsewhere... 'I think the reason why painting still makes this resurgence time and time again is because it really confirms our humanity in a unique way that no other material can,' said [Caitlin] Moore... 'In the end, we crave something that really has a human touch or a human element to it...I think that's a reason why Los Angeles specifically is moving the way that it is, simply because there are so many avenues and mediums that are diluting that experience. It seems natural to migrate back towards painting...in a society that is so technologically saturated.' "
Erin Langner reviews the exhibition Sarah Awad: Transference and Speculation at James Harris Gallery, Seattle, on view through November 30, 2012.
Langner writes: "The curious objects within many of the paintings generate an instant magnetism through their familiarity; yet, a persistent darkness underlies each scene, most prominently in the works that contain humans. Sunday Afternoon's impenetrable lawn of green constructs an atmosphere of void and melancholia to surround its unexplainable nude that gazes at its own shadow. The Visit at first looks like a delicate portrait, until the details of its bizarre composition are fully comprehended... Across all of these works, action happens, but the narrative Awad abstracts is only a tease; there is no explanation to be found."

There are some PS4s in the wild that are experiencing issues, with some of them just not working at all, but to Sony, this seems like it's no big problem at all, because it represents 0.4% of all PS4s sold so far. Sony has said:
A handful of people have reported issues with their PlayStation 4 systems. This is within our expectations for a new product introduction, and the vast majority of PS4 feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We are closely monitoring for additional reports, but we think these are isolated incidents and are on track for a great launch.
There have been several problems reported, which leads us to believe there isn't a singular problem that could impact a broader percentage of systems. The number of affected systems represents less than .04% of shipped units to date, which is within our expectations for a new product introduction.

Cheap carpet for rental property or heavy wearable carpeting? Which is the best decision for a rental property?
There are different mind sets you can take when deciding on the type of carpet for a rental property. The best way to weigh out a decision is to look at the total circumstances. Here are some questions to consider when deciding on cheap carpet or an upgraded one. Who will most likely rent your property?
Will you allow pets? If so, how big? How long do you think your tenant will stay? What do your competing rental properties look like? How much demand is there for your type of unit? Are there a lot of properties currently available for rent?
There are so many variables to consider. There are a few things to keep in mind when renting a property.
The first is that you want a decent tenant, one that will not totally tear up your investment and one that will pay their bills. Secondly, you don't want your property to sit empty. It is always better to invest in your property in order to maintain it as opposed to leaving it unoccupied.
We have had clients put off getting the carpet they needed due to not wanting to spend money on their investment only to have the same client come back four months later after losing four months rent to put the needed carpet in. The loss of rent would have paid for carpet and padding two or three times over. Now the question of whether to put in cheap carpet or an upgraded carpet.
There are low end rentals that simply need bottom dollar cheap carpet. Some of the properties near the college may consider some of the cheaper carpets due to the sometimes rough and rowdy lifestyles of a college student. Sometimes you have to consider your target tenant and your competing rental properties.
You don't want to put in cheap carpet that does not look good or your property may remain unoccupied due to another property showing better than yours. Not only could putting too cheap of a carpet hurt your occupancy rate, but it could affect the amount you can charge for the property. So in some cases putting in cheap carpet make sense, but in others it might pay to put a dollar or two per sq yd into a little better carpet.
You never want to go overboard unless the property pays an exorbitant amount of money back to you. If you are weighing out putting a much nicer upgrade carpet, you need to consider if it will pay you back to do it. There are some stain proof carpets that are more expensive that sometimes will last a good bit longer with decent treatment. There are carpets that are more wearable that might last as long as the tenant does not stain it.
We always look for the very best values for our customers. Sometimes we get truck loads of close outs or promotion carpets that don't really cost much more. These value carpets are many times the best way to go in the long run as long as you have a somewhat good tenant. If you need cheap carpet or a nice value upgrade carpet at the absolute lowest price, come see us at Crystal Carpet & Flooring Company.
