Ok, I just gotta clear a couple of things up here. I have lived in New Orleans for most of my life and a traditional muffuletta has NEVER included pastrami or venison! Maspero's makes pretty good sandwiches but their version of this one is not authentic. The traditional meats used are ham, genoa salami, and mortadella. Mortadella is an pork product that originated in Bologna, Italy. It is similar to American bologna (no surprise) but includes chunks of pork fat. It's also a little more garlicky than bologna. If you can't find mortadella in your area, a better substitute would be a good quality, thinly sliced deli bologna, such as Boar's Head or Thurman's. Also, the traditional bread is a very large (about 9") round, seeded Italian loaf which is served cut in quarters. That said, this is pretty good, but it is NOT a muffuletta - it is a pastrami sandwich with olive salad! :)
This is a great version of a classic. I love the olive salad recipe, especially. I don't usually broil the sandwiches, but rather assemble and wrap to take for a weekend trip or picnic. They actually improve with a little time assembled - the flavors meld deliciously.
We really loved the olive salad wth the meats! It added so much flavor to the sandwich. We will have these luscious sandwiches often!
This is a really good sandwich, and should probably get more respect than we gave it; but the cost of the ingredients had us looking for more yet; and there was a bitterness in the olive salad we could do without. That said, it's a carnival of flavors and a big fat sandwich and will be enjoyed, especially by the adventurous. Made for Zaar World Tour 5.
Wow!!! Finally I've tried this sandwich. Don't know why I've waited so long... The sharp vinegar in the giardiniera combined with the smoothness of the kalamata and sicilian olives. Take that with the smoked and saltly goodness of the smoked ham, genoa salami, and the pastrami and the smooth creaminess of the provolone cheese, and you have perfection in a bun. Even my olive-disliking husband and daughter could not get enough of this gem. Can't wait to have it again!!! Made for ZWT5.
She sure tastes good for a woman of her age since this sandwhich originated in about, oooohhh, 1906 and still going strong. Made for ZWT5.
OMG! As soon as I took a bite of this sandwich, I turned to my olive-hating DH and said, "You're in sooooo much trouble." because this was delicious! He agreed, though, that this tasted a lot like the sandwiches from my favorite sandwich shop. The next time I make these, I will prolly add some thinly shredded lettuce and some slices of tomato, and a smidge of mustard for utter muffaletta perfection! Thank you so so so much for sharing this recipe, Made for ZWT5, for the Groovy GastroGnomes.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Sometimes, I want to create a cake. Spend many a lost hour with my head in a book trying to find inspiration for the next project which is then followed by hours of creaming, mixing, whisking and baking before unveiling a masterpiece. And then there are days where I just want an easy peasy slice of cake which desired minimum fuss but maximum yum. Today was that day. I was feeling super simple so I baked this super simple recipe which has been passed on to me by my mother (and possibly the only recipe as the only other thing she can cook successfully is fish finger, chips and peas) (Mum, I know you will read this, I'M JOKING! I LOVE YOU REALLY!). With the scorchio sunshine outside, who really wants to spend hours in a sweat box kitchen? I want to be outside with my cake soaking up all the vitamin D I can get. The sugar syrup which drowns the cake once out of the oven adds a lushy, zesty moistness to the sponge whilst leaving a crunchy sugar coating which is why you can get away with not icing this beauty. The poppy seeds give a great texture and on reflection, I have added an extra 50g in the recipe below as I think it needs a bit more crunch.
Sweet potato and buckwheat cake18 May 2016
I have just completed 6 weeks of no baking and oh my days I almost went cray-cray. It wasn't by choice but forced upon me by my situation (reaaalllllyyyyy long story, seriously, it even bores me to tell it so I shan't give you the deets). What I found out in this time is how happy baking and blogging makes me. There was a massive cupcake shaped void in my life! I love plotting my next cake or cookie, researching new flours to use or what glorious seasonal ingredient I can throw in. Next comes a bit of decoration inspiration courtesy of Instagram (I hate to think how many hours of my life is spent on Instagram, whole evenings lost scrolling through pictures of dogs in funny outfits). The photo styling and photography can often swallow up an afternoon by perching on chairs trying to get the perfect shot or spending 20 minutes deciding whether to feature the whisk in the photo or not (important stuff, obvs). The editing and writing up is always the nice part, seeing the end result whilst eating said cake. It is not only my hobby but creative release, without it I have too much time on my hands and too many sweet ideas in my mind just bursting to get out. Therefore after this 6 weeks of forced abstinence I have a must bake list about 4 pages long. An awesome excuse to spend more time in the kitchen!
Happy Easter everybody! I am currently sat in the kitchen working my way through a pile of hot cross buns and a slab of butter (cue Homer Simpson style drooling). I obviously had extensive high activity plans for today but sadly, its raining which has forced me inside with said plate of buns. What else is a girl to do?! Plus being Easter limited edition specialities, I must eat as many as I can before they disappear from the shelves for another year. Gotta make the most of them, y'know? By next week I will be back on the kale and lentils, promise (I sometimes wish I could use emojis in my writing, I would insert that little dude with the rolling eyes right about here). My favourite treat is slightly stale left over buns, slather in butter, then golden syrup and lay them into a deep baking dish with them slightly over lapping, pour over a tin of Ambrosia custard and bake in the oven on 180 degrees until the edges of the bread are golden and the custard is bubbling. Actually life changing.
Beetroot and parsnip cupcakes16 March 2016
I have found myself with an awful lot of unexpected extra time on my hands recently. You move to London and think to yourself PARTY TIME! I'm going to be a socialite, out for post work drinkies every evening, shimmying from the latest cool rooftop bar to the next uber cool cocktail bar in Dalston. It will be amazing. I will be rubbing shoulders with Alexa Chung and Nick Grimshaw no doubt! I quickly realised this would not be the case. Not when buying two drinks will set you back over a tenner (or in one particular public house which will remain nameless, I was charged £16 for two vodka sodas. £16!!!!!!!!!! That was my entire food budget for the week gone). And everyone works crazy hours. And so my unexpected extra time has been spent being creative, I've thrown myself back into this blogging lark, I've had the sewing machine out (I made my housemate Eilis a laundry bag out of some unused 1970's pillowcases for her birthday. I know, I know, just too cool…) and took my camera out and about. I love to have a feeling of purpose with my spare time, it doesn't feel like a wasted afternoon when I have some amazing photos or a patchwork quilt to show for it. So actually, Alexa and Nick, you can keep your latest pop up bar, I've got a hot date with the sewing machine.
Lime and white chocolate coconut macaroons10 March 2016
Some days I love to spend the whole day in the kitchen working towards a sugary sweet beast of a cake. Some days I just want something there and then, without sacrificing my day (Not that my days revolve around much anyway, looking at dogs in silly outfits on Instagram, reading Daily Mail online gossip column in secret… whoops!). These little treats are the perfect throw-together-in-10-minute yummies. I have to admit I have worked my way through quite a few coconut macaroon recipes trying to find baking bohemia, the crispy outside and the slightly soggy sugary innards. Hurrah! I have achieved it here! The top tip is condensed milk. Any excuse to use condensed milk is a winner with me (I licked the lid clean and now have a cut tongue to prove it. It is like crack in a tin.). A mix of coconut flakes and desiccated coconut gives the best texture too. If you don't have limes, you can leave them out. Feel free to swap white chocolate for dark or milk too, go crazy. They are also a great option for the gluten free of you out there.
Citrus cake8 March 2016
2016 has not been a kind year thus far. Now we are in March. Three months in. A third of the way through the year. Yup. Time is, quite literally, flying by. I can probably safely say that 2016 will not be a vintage year for me. Bad news followed by more bad news. My source of joy and escape has come from running. After over a year of being out of the fitness game due to injury I knew I needed to do something and it needed to be cheap as possible. And it doesn't cost a dime to pull on your running shoes where ever you are and step outside. When I moved to London, my housemate Eilis got me to sign up to my first ever half marathon which was only 6 weeks away. It was the best thing I could have done! Evenings after work were spent sprinting up hills and Sundays mornings were all about 10km runs round north London. It gave me focus and drive, when you have your headphones in you can just zone out and not think about anything except you and the road. It's the best form of therapy. Last weekend was my marathon, down in Brighton going along the sea front past the piers and the bandstand. The weather was dry with a bit of a breeze, perfect running conditions. I would have liked to have smashed it in under two hours but I managed at 2.08 hours, alright for my first one I reckon (I did end up in the medical tent though after aggravating an old knee injury, spent an hour in the medical tent with an ice pack on and sipping Lucozade like a drama queen. Poor Eilis had to come and rescue me). I have another half lined up for May to keep the training going. For anybody else going through a bit of a rough patch or just had a bad day at the office, I would totally recommend running (or any exercise for that matter), even if you can only run to the lamp post. Then the next time to the end of the road. Before you know it you might be doing a half marathon of your own!
Vanilla bean cake with yogurt buttercream and black sesame22 February 2016
London is the most over whelming but exciting place to be. Home is currently Muswell Hill which is north London, filled with yummy mummies and huge Victorian houses. For work I am in Shoreditch which has an extensive array of coffee shops and people who are too cool for school (eg Me). I love how each area has its own personality and style. If I want vintage, I go to Brick Lane, if I want inspiring food, Borough Market. There is always something going on. Back home I would wake up on a Sunday morning and the only thing to do was to walk to the corner shop to get the paper. In London I can do brunch, go to the museum, see some art, learn swing dancing (tried and failed miserably. I have no rhythm. Trod on everyone's toe's and no-one wanted to be my partner). Basically, whatever I want to do, I can. There are free things and expensive things. My favourite things are, surprisingly, those which are free. I have started running again after a while out of the game due to injury. Yes, I know you can do this anywhere but running to the top of Alexandra Palace and looking out across the whole of the London skyline at night is pretty lush. Birmingham at night doesn't have quite the same appeal. As I look out the window now, it is 5pm and the sun is still shining and it is light. Spring is around the corner! Meaning soon evenings will be filled with pub gardens (drink soda water and sneak in your own vodka) and walks in Hyde park. Once you get off the crowded high streets and tourist traps, London is a bloomin lovely place to be where one can never be bored.
Banana cake with cashew nut buttercream1 February 2016
I'm back! Some of you more regular readers may have noticed my 2 month absense (and if you didn't, just humour me and just pretend you noticed I was gone). Things went a bit…. well…. cray-cray. Upside down. Stuff happened. All at once. I can tell you think I am being a right drama queen. First off, I changed jobs as you know. Hurrah! I am now officially at Lily Vanilli Bakery, spending my days making tasty pastries and delectable morsels of cake, #livingthedream. At the same time I moved house, and cities, into London. I'm crashing with some lovely friends of mine who have allowed me to rock up with my entire kitchen contents (and there is a lot… Working for Le Creuset def had its benefits) for a few months whilst I find my feet. And all of this happened as me and the BF broke up. Hmm. I spent most of December holed up listening to Adele (jokes!). Breaking up during Xmas is just the suckiest time (is there ever a good time?) but I must have been the only person to lose weight over Christmas (I wouldn't recommend the heartbreak diet to anyone but its very effective. I'm now wearing jeans I haven't worn since I was 22!). I didn't really want to do much of anything including blogging and baking. Now though, I feel its time to get my identity back a little and get into the kitchen. There are good days and bad days, but if there is cake around, it makes those bad days a little brighter.
Cinnamon and redcurrant mini muffins1 December 2015
After a few weeks of struggling to keep my mouth shut I can finally reveal to you lovely readers that I have been offered a job as a baker at the wonderful Lily Vanilli bakery! Lily has been a great source of inspiration for me for the past couple of years and to have the opportunity to work with her is going to be shamazing. The bakery is in Shoreditch, on Columbia Road where they hold the famous flower market every Sunday. The bakery is open only on Sundays for homemade sausage rolls, fresh coffee and of course, delicious cakes. For the rest of the week, there are commissions to be baked and wedding cakes to make. Lily's style is very natural, she uses lots of seasonal fruit and veg, edible flowers and darling decoration. There is currently just Lily and another wonderful baker, Erin, so it will be amazing to work with a small team plus I have so much to learn.
Rice paper, my new favourite thing20 November 2015
I tend to find a new favourite decorating technique and use it again and again until I get bored. I was really digging using brittle to top my cakes with until someone offered me a flying saucer the other week. Its brightly coloured, edible and your can mould it into any shape you like, WIN. So when I had a commission the other week, I knew I had a chance to experiment with it (so long brittle!). I tried a few different shapes but triangles really worked well on top of this rose and white chocolate cake, I love the angular shapes against the wild flowers, I hope you do too.

Hi Everyone,
I just to read the omgubuntu post about Chris Prillo's dad using Ubuntu. And I see how the poor guy is confused using ubuntu for the very first time.
And it's a fact, there's a bug here. I mean, I'm using ubuntu since 5 years now and I don't remember to have a quickstep tutorial to help begginners to use ubuntu.
So the idea is maybe it could be great to have this option when you're install ubuntu (a "launch-quickstep-tutorial-at-the-next-boot" box that powers users can uncheck)
The quickstep can help user to discover ubuntu, with how to compose an email, how to create a doc, how to use internet) and each part of the tutorial could be link to a local accomplishment working with the Jono's Ubuntu accomplishments system.
This quickstep apps, could be launch anytime you want too
What do you thing about this idea guys ?

DNR report lays out causes of deer mortality
In north, predators a major factor, but hunters tops
Hunters killed more adult and yearling deer than any other cause.
Only 27% of fawns survived seven months in northern Wisconsin.
And the buck mortality rate of 50% might cause a significant revision of the state's long-standing method for estimating the deer population.
These are among the findings of the first year of Wisconsin deer research to learn more about fawn survival, study predator impacts on deer and improve the Sex-Age-Kill deer population model.
The report was made public Wednesday by the Department of Natural Resources.
It's titled "Evaluating survival and cause-specific mortality in adult and fawn white-tailed deer in northern and east-central Wisconsin."
Some of the points listed in the report confirm what has long been held, such as hunter harvest being the leading cause of adult and yearling deer mortality in the state.
But others shed light on previously unknown or little-studied facets of Wisconsin's prize big-game species.
"That's the value of boots-on-the-ground research," said DNR research scientist Chris Jacques, the report's lead author. "These projects are giving us an outstanding opportunity to add to our knowledge of deer in Wisconsin."
The work is formally divided into two projects: a buck mortality study and a fawn recruitment and predation study.
Blood and other samples taken from deer in the study will also provide insight into the health of the herd.
Costing more than $2 million, the work represents Wisconsin's largest investment in deer research. The projects are funded through the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, an excise tax on hunting and shooting equipment.
Data were collected from late 2010 to December 2011 in two areas: a 3,500-square mile northern forest study area in Sawyer, Price and Rusk counties and a 2,300-square mile eastern farmland study area in Shawano, Waupaca and Outagamie counties.
Researchers captured and placed radio collars on 73 yearling males (45 in the north, 28 in the east), 45 adult males (25 and 20), 86 adult females (40 and 46) and 78 fawns (30 and 48).
If researchers detected a "mortality signal" from a radio collar, they traveled to the site and attempted to determine cause of death.
Among the preliminary findings listed in the report:
Hunter harvest (38%) and predation (26%) were primary sources of adult and yearling deer mortality across northern Wisconsin.
Hunter harvest (61%) and vehicle collisions (24%) were primary sources of adult and yearling deer mortality in the east.
In the north, 22 fawn (13 males, nine females) mortalities occurred through December, representing 73% of the 30 radio-collared fawns. Most (64%) fawn mortalities were attributed to predation; bears and bobcats were the leading predators.
In the east, 18 fawn (11 males, seven females) mortalities occurred through December, representing 38% of 48 radio-collared fawns. Most fawn mortalities were attributed to predation (33%), starvation (33%), and vehicle collisions (17%). Coyotes were the leading predator of fawns in this area.
"Relatively high" pregnancy rates were noted in the north (92%) and east (93.5%).
- Most adult deer (66% in northern and 90% in east) were non-migratory.
- Adult deer that did migrate averaged 3.8 and 2.7 miles, respectively, between seasonal ranges in the northern and east study areas.
Deer ticks (Ixodes scapularis) were present on 23% of deer sampled.
No deer showed exposure to epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD), a deadly deer disease, and only 1 to 3% showed exposure to bluetongue and eastern equine encephalitis.
Five adult male deer were poached in northern Wisconsin during 2011.
- At the end of December, 19 adult males, 22 adult females and 8 fawns were "on the air" and monitored weekly for movement and survival status in northern Wisconsin.
- And in the east, 21 adult males, 25 adult females, and 30 fawns continue to be monitored weekly.
More than 200 Wisconsin citizens assisted with 2011 deer capture events.
Though fawn survival has been extensively studied in North America, no information exists on the potential effects of predation on deer recruitment in Wisconsin, according to the report.
Fawns in the north weighed an average of 9.3 pounds, "significantly" less than in the east (11 pounds).
Jacques said the researchers will continue to track fawn weights and habitat conditions. Lower birth weights are often associated with lower fawn survival.
It has always been assumed that hunters kill the most deer in Wisconsin. The study found that to be true among adult and yearling deer.
But in northern Wisconsin, the number of adult and yearling deer killed by predators isn't far behind hunter harvest.
Hunters killed 20 deer (seven adult bucks, four adult females and nine yearling males) in the northern study area, while predators killed 14 (two adult bucks, three adult females and nine yearling males).
Of that total, wolves killed four deer (all yearling males), bobcats three (two yearling males and one adult female), coyotes two (one each adult female and yearling male) and bear one (adult female). The species was not listed on four predator kills due to insufficient evidence.
In the east-central study area, hunters killed 23 deer (seven adult males, six adult females and 10 yearling males). Vehicles were next highest cause of mortality (nine). Predators did not kill an adult or yearling deer in the east-central area.
As stated, predators were far and away the leading cause of death in fawns. In the north, predators accounted for 64% (14 of 22) of fawn mortality. Next leading causes in the north were hunter harvest (14%) and starvation (9%).
Bears killed five fawns in the north, bobcats killed two and coyotes killed one. Researchers could not determine the predator species in the other cases.
In the east-central, predators accounted for 33% (six of 18) of fawn mortality, the same as starvation. The next leading source was vehicles (17%).
Coyotes killed four of the six fawns in the east-central, bears killed one and one kill was listed as unknown predator due to insufficient evidence.
The Wisconsin study is contrasting with work in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that has shown coyotes as the leading predator on both adult deer and fawns.
Poachers killed five adult deer in northern Wisconsin, the same number as died from starvation and vehicle collisions.
A 2009 DNR document titled "Wolves and deer in Wisconsin" compared various sources of deer mortality in the northern and central forest regions.
It attributed 122,000 deer deaths to hunters and 68,000 to predators (33,000 to bears, 16,000 to coyotes, 13,000 to wolves and 6,000 to bobcats).
In other words, according to the document predators killed 56% as many deer - adults, yearlings and fawns - as hunters.
But that may have underestimated the predator take on deer, especially since it included fawns.
The first year of research in the northern study area shows the predator kill of adult and yearling deer alone to be 70% of the hunter harvest.
If the number of fawns is added, the predator take on deer in the north exceeds that of hunters.
Another area of the report that will draw high interest is related to buck mortality.
A 2006 audit by an independent panel recommended Wisconsin improve its estimates of "buck recovery rate," the proportion of male deer killed by hunters and a key variable used in the SAK deer population model.
The SAK model used by the DNR has assumed a 70% rate for northern and 80% rate for eastern Wisconsin. But the first year of the study found about 50% in both areas.
"Should the overall contribution of harvest to total buck mortality be assumed too high, the resulting SAK estimates will be biased downward," wrote the 2006 review panel.
While this may be difficult for many hunters - who have complained the DNR's deer population estimates have been too high - to believe, the SAK model may be skewed low by inaccurate buck recovery rates.
The report acknowledges the discrepancy between the buck recovery rates used in recent years and the observed rates from the first year of the study.
"We emphasize that our findings are both preliminary and limited to a single year of field data, thus the tendency to draw conclusions based on these data should be interpreted with caution," the report states.
Partners in the projects include the DNR, UW-Madison Department of Forestry and Wildlife Ecology, UW's Applied Population Laboratory, UW-Stevens Point, the Wisconsin Conservation Congress and Whitetails Unlimited.
The buck mortality study is designed to run to 2015. The goal of this project is to improve the accuracy and precision of deer population estimates in Wisconsin. Deer trapping and collaring will continue through the winter of 2014.
The fawn study will run to 2013. It is focused on fawn recruitment and predator effects on fawn survival. Field work will be completed following the fawn capture season in May and June.
In addition to weekly monitoring all radio-collared deer, the researchers are attempting to capture and collar more adult and yearling deer in the study areas through March.

Project Runway winner Dom Streater will present her fall 2014 womenswear collection - a sophisticated fusion of minimalist silhouettes and rosy graphic prints - at an intimate New York Fashion Week meet-and-greet Thursday.
It's a Fashion Week debut for the Philadelphia designer, and she's calling the collection Prima, inspired by the life of Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova.
"I came across a black-and-white photograph of her with flowers in her hair, and she looked like a flower child in a classic, romantic way," Streater said. Despite Pavlova's arched feet, thin ankles, and long limbs - roadblocks to aspiring classic ballerinas in the late 19th century - she became one of the world's renowned dancers.

Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.

Conor Oberst brings intensity to Pabst Theater

At the Pabst Theater Saturday night, however, the word remained suitable for Oberst's live concert. His very body seemed to vibrate as if his nervous system was dosing his skin with extra voltage: Not enough to convulse him; enough to generate a low hum of surplus energy beneath his performance. »Read Full Article

Grief comes in many forms. Usually what most people think of as grief is in dealing with sickness or death however in life and in performance there are many other forms of grieving but the way you deal with it is similar.
In performance situations, performers grieve in situations that include the following: accidents, injury, loss of money, loss of status, 'losing' a race, game, audition or event, not playing, being cut and transitioning out of their sport. I find in my work with clients that grief in some situations is easier to deal with than others but it doesn't mean that you don't have to grieve. For example, performers get used to 'losing' (it doesn't mean they like it) which makes it more familiar and routine but injury is not which may make it much harder to deal with. Grieving in the former situation generally happens much more quickly than the latter.
The following is the Kubler Ross steps for grieving:
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
Whether someone is dying or transitioning out of their sport these are the steps a person should go through to deal with the situation. Again the amount of time it takes depends in the 'severity' of the situation and the person.
What happens if you don't move through these steps? You get stuck in denial or anger or bargaining, don't move past the stage you get stuck in and are not able to let go of the situation. For example, when one of my musicians loses an audition he stays stuck in bargaining and depression and is unable to get to acceptance. The implications of this are that every time he goes to another audition he's unable to go through the audition with a clear slate.
These situations don't magically disappear into the universe. They stay with us until we deal with them.
Happy week!

Last night, I was fortunate to be able to give another lecture at SOLPT I got to talk with a group of people recovering from injury and explain some of the psychology behind injuries.
What a highlight it is for me to talk about how an injury is more than physical and that coping with it, is very mental & emotional. People don't really know this stuff. Sure people understand that pain involves shedding a tear and an occasional four letter word but there is a much larger connection between an injury and what goes on mentally & emotionally. There are issues around motivation, self-esteem, confidence and many other potential psychological barriers to dealing with an injury.
Someone in the group asked how people can be more psychologically proactive. She said she was physically ready to return to rowing but not mentally. This is so common. I told her, yeah, this is a challenge but that if she gets injured again (not hoping that happens) what's important ,now, is knowing that there are psychological things that she will need to deal with in order to fully heal. In her current situation she's physically healed but has some lingering psychological barriers to still deal with.
Last night was such a great reminder for me that somehow people need to get this information before they get injured, play their sport or as they are becoming a concert musician. I am committed to doing my part in the education process so that people can be more proactive versus reactive.
Thanks to Tammara & Alexis at SOLPT! Love SOLPT and the work they are doing and am appreciative for the opportunity to work with them.
Happy Thursday!

An injury is always a surprise. We don't know that we are going to get injured and we don't expect it to happen. Unfortunately sometimes it still does. It's important to deal with the emotions around an in joy.
As I said, an injury is never expected. When something happens in your life that isn't expected what comes with it? People go through Kubler-Ross's stages of grieving: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
Kübler-Ross noted that these stages are not meant to be a complete list of all possible emotions that could be felt, and, they can occur in any order. Her hypothesis holds that not everyone who experiences a life-threatening/-altering event feels all five of the responses, as reactions to personal losses of any kind are as unique as the person experiencing them.
You must feel and move through these emotions in order to effectively deal with an injury. Why? Think about what it means to get stuck in any of these emotions: denial, anger, bargaining, depression. I have had many elite performers come to me because they get stuck in denial or anger and are not be able to find their way out.
The denial and anger phases make it difficult for an elite performer to get help with their injury. Initially many elite performers disregard the pain and ignore that a problem exists. It's not usually until an elite performers can no longer perform at all that they stop.
The sooner you realize you have an injury the sooner you can get it taken care of. 🙂 Easier said than done.
Once realized, the injury causes a performer to feel a sense of guilt that they have not done something they were supposed to do and caused the injury to happen.
These are mixed in with Kubler-Ross's stages of grieving but also above and beyond them.
Do you want to be as strong if not stronger after the injury? If yes you need to ride the injury train till the bitter yet sweet end. You need to recover. Half or three-quarters recovery is not going to get you to where you ultimately want to be. Full recovery will.
This is the perfect time to focus on keeping yourself motivated by doing what you can do in preparation for coming back and keeping yourself motivated. It's also a great time to try something new; pick up a hobby.
Some performers stay in the denial phase through the processes of getting and taking care of the injury. It's not until they are recovery that they begin to go through anger, bargaining and depression. It is laden with heavy emotions.
Caution: if you are not mentally and physically cleared for performance don't do it.
The better your injury feels the better you'll feel. This doesn't mean that you are psychologically prepared to rerun. The better the injury feels the more anxious you'll get about jumping back in. Whatever you do please follow your doctors instructions and that should include coming back slowly.There are also many emotions around coming back. Some performers deal with PTSD, lack of confidence as well as many others.
Here are some things to keep in mind to help stave off injury:
You can't get to complete recovery and back to performance without acceptance and you can't get to acceptance without all of the other emotions.
Happy Tuesday!

I have been sick on my vacation but it provides a lesson in doing the right thing and listening even more closely to what my body is saying. For me there are many mental hurdles in going from being a very active person to not being active at all. Besides getting the flu there are other situations that elite performers should work on developing the ability to take care of youreself: injury, illness and burnout being a few.
Sometimes the the most difficult thing for people is to take care of themselves and as an elite performer this is important for you so that you have the ability to do what you do. I find there are a couple of things that get in the way of people being able to take care of themselves: the negative messages they received as kids about whether or not they should take care of themselves and actually how to do it.
When you were a kid there were all sorts of conscious and unconscious messages floating around. Messages about emotions, food, weight, exercise, academics and self care. Many clients see me to help them bring awareness to the unconscious messages and help rid them of the conscious messages.
Besides the emotional end of taking care of yourself there are so many other aspects of it that you might not think about:
All of these things can make for a complication situation. Instead of dealing with the emotions and logistics some people shut down.
The last very difficult mental and physical challenge for a lot of people is coming back after the flu, illness, injury or burnout. You have to ask yourself some difficult questions when returning to 'normal activity': is your body ready to return or are you mentally jumping back in because you can't stand taking another day off or hearing people ask you when you'll be ready to come back. This ties back into your ability to take care of yourself: you have to learn what taking care of yourself looks like and then be able to do it.
For me this is the most difficult part of the cycle but it's not because I don't know how to take care of myself. I love being healthy and active and when I am not able to feel healthy and be active I feel unhealthy and inactive which feels a bit depressing. I have come to learn that being inactive is an important part of getting back to health so I remain inactive. There have been many times where I've jumped back into everything as soon as the fog has lifted: work and training and have been thrown back into being sick. I now wait a little longer and come back gradually.
This week I've been in beautiful Manhattan Beach and have been dying to workout. The sun and beach have tempted me to come workout everyday but I held out…at least until yesterday. I held out 9 days and decided yesterday that I would start by walk/jogging with the dog and see how I felt. I felt good and it led into 40 minutes of easy jogging.
There is no perfect system but as elite performers it's important to develop an awareness around what these situations are for you and how you are doing to deal with them whether it's the flu, illness, an injury or burnout. It's important to listen closely to your body and do the right thing. Sometimes that means overcoming mental and emotional barriers to make that happen.
Happy end of the week!

It is estimated that 3 to 17 million adults and children are injured each year in the United States in sport, exercise, and recreational settings. This means that you might be an injured athlete at some point in your career.
Although physical factors are the primary cause of injury, psychological factors also contribute. Recent evidence shows that managing the psychological factors associated with injury and dealing successfully with stress that might contribute to injury, are equally important to rehabilitation and injury prevention. Because of this, it is important to understand the psychological responses to injury and how mental techniques can help facilitate the recovery process.
As you might already surmise, physical factors such as muscle imbalances, high speed collisions, overtraining and physical fatigue are the primary causes of athletic injury; however, psychological factors also play a role. Two major psychological factors associated with injury are personality traits and stress.
Personality traits are #1 among the psychological factors associated with injury. And although it's been difficult to successfully identify and measure the specific personality characteristics associated with injury, recent evidence has shown that factors such as lack of optimism, low self-esteem, hardiness and trait anxiety do play a role in injury.
Stress levels have definitely been proven to correlate with injuries. Athletes with higher levels of life stress experience more injuries that those with less stress. It's important for coaches, family and friends to have good communication with an athlete in order keep up on any major life changes or stressors that athlete might be grappling with. When such changes occur it's important for athletes to make appropriate changes and carefully monitor what is going on for them and get support from coaches, family and friends.
There are three phases of injury and injury recovery that are of importance to understand. The first phase is the injury phase. In this phase the athlete is dealing with the emotional upheaval that accompanies the onset of injury. Phase two, the rehabilitation-recovery phase; a good time to work on sustaining motivation and adhering to rehabilitation. Lastly, phase three, return to full activity phase, is important to understand that although you might be cleared to return to full activity, recovery is not complete until that participant can return to normal functioning which might take time and patience. And although the you might be recovering physically the mental side might take much more time to deal with.
To give you a better understanding of how athletes react to and deal with injury and to understand the emotional response to injury, the stages have been compared to the work of Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross on terminal illness. Kubler-Ross suggests that terminally ill patients go through five stages in struggling to cope with their illness: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In addition, another study has extended the research on injury to include the cognitions that affect the emotional response to injury. These cognitions were categorized into 4 main themes including internal thoughts, injury and rehabilitation concerns, concern for and comparison to others and looking ahead to the future.
Recent studies have shown that psychological interventions positively influence an injured participant's recovery, mood during recovery, confidence, and adherence to treatment protocols. Sustaining and recovering from an injury can be emotionally difficult for an athlete and that's why it's important to have a basic understanding of the psychological reactions of injury and rehabilitation and to understand that those reactions derive from the cognitive and emotional responses to injury and also important to have an idea of psychological techniques to assist in facilitating the rehabilitation process. Those techniques include: the injured athlete having good rapport with health care professionals, physical therapists and coaches, the athletes needs education about the injury and recovery process, it's important for the athlete to learn specific psychological coping skills (goal setting, relaxation techniques, anxiety management and imagery) particularly upon reentering the sport, preparing the athlete to cope with setbacks, fostering social support, and learning as well as encouraging the participant to learn from other injured athletes. Effective emotional management of injury is essential to efficient recovery.
Happy Wednesday!

Paula Radcliffe is on her way to another Olympic's after making Britain's team for the 2012 Olympic Games. Although Radcliffe has had many career successes she has also had many challenges due to injury. Generally when a runner sustains multiple injuries during a career this is because her body is breaking down due to over-training.
Paula Radcliffe has been running for a long time. At 38 she's had a lot of experience running which has led her to a lot of success. A marathon world champion in 2005, three-time winner of the London Marathon and three-time champion of the New York City Marathon, Radcliffe is training to banish those Olympic memories (AP).
But she's also had a lot of injury. In 2004 in Athens, she withdrew three miles from the finish because of a stomach problem. She was diagnosed with a stress fracture in her left femur three months before the 2008 Beijing Games and limped to the line in 23rd place. Radcliffe completed her first marathon in two years in Berlin in September. After a series of injuries and a 19-month break in which she had her second child (AP).
Although physical factors are the primary cause of injury, when an athlete continues to get injured this usually means they are not following treatment protocol to fully recovery. This generally stems from a mental need to get 'back in the game' particularly when that athletes identity is tied being a 2012 Olympian.
Professional athletes or in the case Olympian's are often identify so much with their sport that it's as if there is nothing else. These athletes tend to have no balance in their lives and spend a majority of their time training which again leads to injury but also isolation, loneliness, depression, etc.
In her own words: "I have become — not totally philosophical and laid-back about it — but a bit more relaxed about it," Radcliffe said. "I've seen ups and downs and I've had a long career. I'm able to step back and be thankful for the success I've had.
"But part of me still hopes there is a little luck owed to me in terms of staying healthy (AP)."
In order for Radcliffe to avoid injury and do her best in London it seems as though a little bit of a relaxed attitude, some balance and being realistic are a necessary part of her mental game plan. It's also important for her to step outside of what she's always done and find a little bit of a different way of 'being' in the sport so she doesn't get injured.
Good luck Paula!
Happy Wednesday!

Audra Moran, President and CEO
Audra Moran assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer at Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance (formerly OCRF) in March 2010. As President & CEO, she heads the largest global charity supporting ovarian cancer research and advocacy. She directs overall strategy, operations and fundraising to promote progress, increase awareness and hasten breakthroughs in diagnostics and treatments with the ultimate goal of finding a cure for ovarian cancer.
Under Audra's leadership, OCRFA has awarded the most in its history, website traffic is up more than 300%, and grant applications have more than tripled. She has extended the organization's national reach by expanding grassroots supporters around the country, and integrated another nonprofit, Ovarian Cycle, into OCRFA, expanding its indoor cycling events to more than 22 locations nationwide. Her board development has resulted in nineteen new Directors, as well as increased enthusiasm and participation overall.
She developed the national expansion of a support program for women undergoing treatment for gynecologic cancers, Woman to Woman, and secured corporate sponsorship to ensure its success. Woman to Woman is now at 22 hospitals around the country, expanding to at least 18 additional sites within the next three years, and serves as the perfect complement to OCRFA's robust research and advocacy work.
Audra oversaw the merger of Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF) and the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance (OCNA) and announced the new resulting organization, Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance (OCRFA) in January, 2016. She continues to oversee the now expanded new organization, with offices in New York City and Washington, DC.

In response to the mounting costs of war with revolutionary France, the British government of William Pitt introduced the first direct tax upon incomes. The deficit in 1797 had reached £19 million, of which he decided £12m could be found from borrowing and £7m from new taxation. He also wanted to reduce indirect taxation, which fell too heavily on the poorer groups. He therefore trebled taxes on windows, houses, servants and carriages, but scaled them so that those who had more paid more. He also levied a tax on all incomes of whatever kind greater than £60, a graduated scale applying to £200, and thereafter the rate being 10%. He hoped thus to raise £10m in a year. To implement the taxes a new survey of economic activity was made …

Your oil will have water in it from the frozen turkey as well as micro food particles that have water also. These must be removed. You can let it sit for a while, time and gravity will separate the water. You can speed up this process by heating the oil and letting it settle. Jeans legs won't be enough to save your fuel filter from being clogged. Then a new $12 fuel filter doesn't help you recoup any money from the oil ya know?
The veggie oil also will settle into the bottom of your fuel filter when you turn the engine off. And the next time you start it, you will be starting it on cold veg oil. Not good.
12 L is probably not going to kill your injectors, but you'd probably be better off giving the oil to someone who has a 2 tank setup and getting them to show you their system, so you can learn. Then the 12L is not wasted.
Or you can use it to kill weeds, to feed pigs or to keep the dust down on a gravel driveway.

LOS ANGELES -- Beno Udrih made two free throws to put Sacramento up by a point with 4.6 seconds remaining. The Kings then watched nervously as Kobe Bryant took the final shot.
His fadeaway jumper from 18 feet bounced off the rim at the buzzer.
"Everybody always holds their breath when he has the chance to win it," the Kings' Kevin Martin said Sunday after the Kings beat the Lakers 114-113.
"John (Salmons) played it good and Mikki (Moore) came over the give him some help and fortunately for us, he came up short."
After a Lakers timeout, Bryant took the inbounds pass, try to drive, ran into a double-team roadblock and had to pull up and shoot.
Sacramento's Ron Artest complimented his teammates' play and said, 'Wow, we just stepped up against the good team. It's unfortunate we can't step up against the bad teams."
The Kings were coming off a 111-103 loss to Minnesota on Friday, becoming only the third team this season to lose a home game to the Timberwolves.
Udrih finished with 25 points and 10 assists for Sacramento, winning for just the second time in nine games in a stretch that included a defeat by the Lakers in Sacramento on Tuesday. Martin added 21 points and Artest had 17.
Bryant scored 26, but had just six points on 1-of-7 shooting in the second half as the Lakers lost only their second in 15 games.
He did not get many touches down the stretch, as Sasha Vujacic and Pau Gasol seemed as if they might pull the game out for the Lakers.
Bryant said the Kings double-teamed him.
"I'm OK. I'm moving on," he said. "We'll make adjustments offensively."
The final seconds weren't necessarily the story of the game, Bryant said.
"I think we lost this one from the onset -- coming out with the right sense of purpose and execution," he said. "I think it's a good wakeup call for us."
Both teams featured balanced scoring and not much defense, with the exception of the Kings' pressure on Bryant in the second half.
Francisco Garcia had 15 points for Sacramento, and Moore and Spencer Hawes 14 apiece.
Gasol's layup with 15 seconds left gave the Lakers a 113-112 lead, but Vujacic fouled Udrih and he calmly sank both free throws.
Los Angeles, which trailed by as many as 13 early in the third quarter, chipped away at the lead and finally tied it at 100 on Gasol's running jumper midway through the fourth quarter. The Lakers' lone lead in the second half came on his layup with 15 seconds to play.
Vujacic finished with 15 points, including going 3-of-4 from 3-point range. He hit several shots down the stretch to keep the Lakers close.
Down 86-75 midway through the third quarter, Los Angeles closed the gap when Sacramento went a stretch of 4:18 without scoring. Derek Fisher's jumper narrowed the gap to 86-85 with 2:53 left in the period.
Garcia's 3-pointer four minutes into the second quarter began a 17-5 run by the Kings that ended with another 3 by Garcia 4:06 before halftime and gave Sacramento a 58-45 lead.
Martin, coming off a career-high 48-point performance in a 111-103 loss to Minnesota on Friday night, had 17 points on 5-of-7 shooting to help the Kings open their 71-60 halftime lead over the Lakers.
Artest, back after missing two games with a sore left foot, had 13 points by the break and Udrih had 12.
Bryant scored 20 in the first half, but just five as the Lakers fell behind in the second quarter.
- The Kings won for the sixth time in their last 11 games on the Lakers' court.
- The Lakers beat the Kings 117-105 in Sacramento last Tuesday, when Bryant scored 17 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter.

Vt Catholics ponder transition
The announcement by Pope Benedict XVI early Monday that he will step down at the end of the month came as a shock to many Catholics in Vermont.
At Our Lady of Seven Dolors in Fair Haven, the Rev. James Lawrence said he was as surprised as everyone else.
It caught a lot of people off guard, but it sounds very reasonable, Lawrence said. His Holiness is 85 years old. ... CBS has a Vatican reporter who said he saw His Holiness recently and said he looked very fragile.
Robert Lukeaskiewicz, dean of students at the College of St. Joseph in Rutland, said that although he knows church history, for a moment he thought the news was a prank being played. He said a resignation has not happened in modern history the last was by Pope Gregory XII in 1415 and many people probably did not know there was a provision for it.
I think most Catholics felt the same way, he said. It will be a time of transition. Anytime there is a transition there is bound to be some uncertainty.
Lukeaskiewicz, who teaches theology, called the decision a selfless act by a man who understands his post requires a certain amount of physical energy that he just did not have.
We are talking about a leader of 1 billion Catholics, he said. That is a huge weight.
Vermont Bishop Salvatore Matano issued a statement Monday afternoon about the popes decision to retire, saying it causes great sadness as he has carved out a place in our hearts and it shall never be erased.
Matano called the resignation a demonstration of the popes extraordinary love for the church and her cornerstone, Jesus Christ.
Placing the proclamation of the Gospel and the salvation of souls above all else, Matano wrote in the statement, His Holiness accepts in humility that his age and health do not permit him to fulfill the duties of his office as he would wish.
Matano, touching upon the upcoming search for the popes successor, said: We also invoke the guidance of the Holy Spirit that He will enlighten the minds and hearts of the College of Cardinals when they gather in solemn conclave to elect the next successor to St. Peter and Pope Benedict XVI.
For Lukeaskiewicz, the next several weeks will be interesting for Catholics because it is something that has never happened in recent history.
What will his title be? he asked. We have never had a retired pope in modern history. ... We may never see this again in our lifetime or our childrens lifetimes. Its a historic moment.
