Procrustean methods are used to transform one set of data to represent another set of data as closely as possible. The name derives from the Greek myth where Procrustes invited passers-by in for a pleasant meal and a night's rest on a magical bed that would exactly fit any guest.1
The Greek myth of Procrustes' hospitality starts out friendly enough, but Procrustes was not a nice character. According to legend, Procrustes, son of Poseidon, had gone astray. He was a blacksmith who invited passersby on the mountain road to Athens to sleep on his magical iron bed. As the myth goes, Procrustes claimed the bed would fit any guest perfectly. When it proved to be either too long or too short, however (as it always did—there actually being two beds, which Procrustes exchanged strategically), he fulfilled his claim by hammering out his guests or cutting off their feet to make them fit. It was thus that Procrustes gave reshaping problems to fit a predefined solution a bad name.
Reshaping of data to make the results of separate studies comparable, however, holds value in the world of evidence-based practice. It is a critical step in performing meta-analyses, which can provide helpful evidence for making clinical decisions (Dollaghan, 2007). Improving the mythical character's reputation, statisticians of today apply the name "Procrustean" to the reshaping of data to fit a common frame of reference, preparatory to conducting further analyses (Gower & Dijksteruis, 2004). Making data comparable is a sensible thing to do, but only if the essence of the original data set is not lost in the process.
The challenge taken up by Teresa Ukrainetz, as editor of this fourth issue in Vol 29 of Topics in Language Disorders, and by the other authors of the articles in this issue, has been to adapt a framework in order to fit a variety of language intervention targets without maiming the body. Led by Ukrainetz, the authors responded to a call for evidence by Warren, Fey, and Yoder (2007) to describe treatment intensity in a manner that makes it possible to compare results across studies. The process involves defining intervention acts in terms of their "dosage" (i.e., frequency within sessions), dose form (i.e., method of delivery), frequency of delivery (i.e., number of sessions per unit time), total intervention duration (e.g., number of weeks or months over which sessions occur), and cumulative intervention intensity (computed as the product of components, such as by multiplying the number of doses/session × sessions/week × total weeks' duration). Taking this set of common terminology as their starting point, the authors tackled the challenge of making disparate language goal areas fit.
As Ukrainetz writes in her Foreword, "Intensity turns out to be as complicated as it is important." It might be tempting to follow Procrustes' example and simply amputate pieces of complex, rich, and ecologically sound intervention approaches to make them fit a treatment protocol with preestablished dosage, but that is not the approach these authors take. Rather, they highlight the nature of the language features they are targeting and discuss options for shaping the bed slightly to fit the diversity of complex and interesting interventions they describe. In the process, the authors point out misfits where they occur rather than lopping off critical limbs to make the body fit. As the authors discuss the anatomy of a therapy session or language lesson in each of their domains, they make readers think more explicitly about all the choices to be made in any intervention, but especially in their domains of focus—for Kerry Proctor-Williams, it is morphosyntax; for James Baumann, it is vocabulary; for LaVae Hoffman, it is narratives; for Teresa Ukrainetz, it is phonemic awareness; and for Allison Breit-Smith, Laura Justice, Anita McGinty, and Joan Kaderavek, it is print referencing.
As the authors describe the fine-grained components of intervention approaches and intensity issues, they make readers think explicitly about the anatomy of a therapy session and importance of an extended course of treatment. With some of us (Editor and Editor Emerita included), they worry that a simplistic metaphor of premeasured doses delivered by an agent of intervention to a "patient" conjures up a level of preplanned control that may be unhealthy for the patient. The field of language disorders needs authors like these who take seriously the challenge to collect better evidence to undergird clinical choices while avoiding the temptation to reduce problems to forms that lose their essence. Examples are reminders for clinicians to be sensitive to, and to create, "teachable moments" that constitute heightened opportunities in which language learners are particularly primed to respond to an intervention dose (i.e., therapeutic act on the part of a clinician or teacher). The therapeutic process may be the most effective when clients are engaged actively in making new cognitive–linguistic connections and elaborating their systems of inner language knowledge, but that is hard to do when a clinician is consumed with the process of counting and delivering doses on schedule. A danger exists that language researchers will avoid gathering high-quality research evidence on complex interventions merely because they are complex. That problem is a central theme underlying this issue.
Our constant goal for Topics in Language Disorders is to provide a scholarly source of information that can further the work of researchers and clinicians alike for the benefit of people with language disorders. If researchers can think more like clinicians, and vice versa, we think this mission is more likely to be accomplished. We believe that this thought-provoking issue fits that mission well.

Svadilfari / CC
I have been a vegetarian for 30 years and vegan for the last 12 (I'm now 82). Being a vegetarian was almost unheard of 30 years ago, and those early years were not easy. We didn't have all the fabulous vegan products at the grocery store that we do now, including soy and rice milks, soy butter, vegan cheeses, veggie burgers, and even ice cream. However, for many of those years, our family enjoyed a delicious vegan meat substitute, Midland Harvest's dry Original Burger Mix. This mix came in 6-ounce foil packages, and we usually ordered 100 packages at a time from a supplier in Ohio. Recent exhaustive searching revealed that this product was no longer available anywhere.
My daughters' families and I tried to find it or a satisfactory replacement locally or by mail to fill the void. We tried dry, frozen, refrigerated, and specific-purpose mixes of all kinds. None came even close to the taste, consistency, and price of the Original Burger Mix.
After many calls to Archer Daniels Midlan (ADM), they finally gave me the number of a person who "might" know something about this Original Burger Mix that I had been seeking. It was a vegetarian supplier in a suburb of Toronto, Canada, which ADM claimed to be the only source of the product. Despite the fact that it only comes in a huge 10-kilogram (22-pound) bag, I ordered a bag anyway!
It is the Original Burger Mix minus some saturated fat that was in the original product. This new dry mix lets you add your own healthy kinds of oil. After mixing in the oil, adding water, and waiting 30 minutes, it can be formed into a burger and microwaved, fried, or grilled without crumbling. You can add the mixed burger, even without cooking, to spaghetti, chili sauces, etc., and it holds its chunky consistency.
In spite of a $40 shipping fee to send the 22 lb package all the way to Washington state, we make four good-size burgers from 1 cup of mix for about $1.30.
The Web site is http://www.solcuisine.com/services2.html.
I talked to a representative there who says that they plan to develop small individual packages but that it likely won't happen soon. While I am thankful for and enjoy many of the other veggie burgers out there, I will always be a loyal fan of the "Original." Having many options for great, cheap, unmeat burgers makes it much easier to convert human carnivores, so it would be great if Sol Cuisine sold its veggie burger mix in smaller packages so that others could enjoy them too.
I have absolutely nothing to gain financially from this blog posting except happy, safe cows and good eats! You can help by calling 905-502-8500 or by e-mailing [email protected] and encouraging Sol Cuisine to sell smaller packages of its Veggie Burger Mix.
What's your favorite veggie burger?
Thank you very much! I've been searching for these old veggie burger products and this is the first good news I've had.
I've also been veg for,hmmm, 35 years. I've ben trying to remember the name if a mix that had' burger' in the name, but came out kind of yellow…you just added water and fried it up. I found it delicious sans bread: just plunked it in the plate with applesauce and voilà! "pork chop" even Babe would love. The sol mix doesn't sound right, does it… Nature burger maybe? That name just popped in my mind. Any help appreciated. I need to gain a lot of weight and no appetite (recovering from bad injuries), so I'm scouting my mind for food that sounds yummy and is also easy to prepare.
How interesting…I've been buying the Sol mix for years (and years) and only in the small packages. I buy 20 at a time and open them into large glass cannisters for use a mix. Never knew I could buy bulk!
We have found that equal parts water and burger mix works the best. so, if you use one cup of mix, add one cup of water. stir and then let it sit for a half hour, or even overnight or several days in the refrigerator. before you form a patty, mix in a little oil and then fry or cook in the microwave.
I bought this product on Chris' recommendation but I need help on converting the recipe for 28 burgers to 2. Any help? Thanks.
My favorite is SoyBoy Okara Courage Burger. I love them with alfalfa sprouts and Vegenaise.
This mix must be good but I love the original vegan Boca burgers. I buy them at a food club – a box of 16 big patties for $9. When I'm running late or am just starving – I've got a favorite vegan sandwich just 2 minutes and 15 seconds away, with no dirty dishes save the knife I use to spread the Veganaise. (And they are only 100 calories!)
I too miss ADM's Original burger mix. One of the best parts was that it is non-perishable. That is an amazing term. It stores so well it becomes a gourmet emergency ration. I am thrilled to hear someone was dedicated enough to track down a source for the mix. Twenty-two pounds is a huge quantity to receive unless you have a large family or group to share with. I look forward to a time when it is available in smaller sizes. Hopefully Sol Cuisine will make their mix available in smaller sizes soon.
I think this blog speaks to the problem of finding veggie burgers that "hit the spot". For more than 25 years, my favorite veggie burger has been Morningstar Farms' grillers. They have such an authentic taste, I can use them in any recipe that calls for ground beef and fool my guests every time. Like Svadilfar, I worry that one day grillers won't be available. So, I'd like to give 'Original Burger' mix a try. A small package to start makes sense. But, if you're a fan, why not a 22-pound bag to save money and trips to the market? In Los Angeles, where I live, a package of four grillers costs almost five dollars.
These sound pretty good. My favorite veggie burger is the Boca Vegan Original. It's so tasty and "meaty." But I would like to find a grain-based burger that doesn't contain isolated soy protein. I find that lately I've been eating a lot of products with soy and it might be good to cut back. Any suggestions anyone?
Create a wonderful, cruelty-free home and garden.

Ratings for Dr. Nerissa Safie
Horrible Doctor! Chose someone else if you want someone who returns calls, or for that matter...someone who cares!!!
Dr. Safie was wonderful. Her staff was polite and actually listened. I had a very short wait in the lobby and an even shorter wait in the room. Dr. Safie was very knowledgeable and friendly. She immediately put me at ease that my regular physician had misread my prior pap results. Evernything about my appointment was easy and reassuring. I won't be going anywhere else.
Dr. Safie is awesome. She cares about her patients and always takes the time to answer all questions. She doesn't make you feel rushed in any way.
Very rude staff staff will not talk to the husbands to let them set app or any thing lost about 5 people thanks sfaff
I met Safi on a emergency basis when my water broke at 18 weeks...she herself was wonderful in the hospital and I only ran into issues when the Mortuary I used to have my baby cremated could NEVER get an answer or call back from her office! what the hell??! this is a a most difficult time for my family and I and to have to wait so long to have a simple phone call returned and letter faxed is UNACCEPTABLE. the doctor may be fantastic but the staff is ALWAYS the first impression and really makes the practice's rep. so disappointing.
I saw Safie for my first pregnancy. She came highly recommended by a friend. She seemed nice at first. For the most part, she was pleasant for all visits except when I wanted to talk about my birth plan. She doesn't really agree with the Bradley Method. She was 20+ minutes late every appt I had with her, and that was in addition to waiting 30+ minutes in the waiting room. I felt like I was rushed each visit. She would answer all of my questions, but some literally as she was walking out the door going to the next patients room. Sure didn't make me feel important. :( She was not there for my delivery, even though she was on call then left to go to Vegas, per the hospital staff. I was bummed. I called her nurse because I had mastitis, didn't know it at the time, and her or the nurse wouldn't return my calls! What! I'm in pain and no one will talk to me?! When Safie called I told her my symptoms and she replied with "What do you expect me to do about it?" I hung up. Do not recommend.
I am 36 weeks pregnant and have had Dr. Safie for most of this pregnancy. I had a rough start in the pregnancy and she was very helpful. She takes her time and listens carefully. Also, she errs on the side of safety and I really appreciate her. So far so good with Dr. Safie. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Safie is the most amazing woman and doctor ever! She delivered my last 2 children ( I have 3 ) and I would see NO ONE ELSE after that! She has been my doctor for 6 years and 4 months almost to the day. I had a problematic pregnancy with my 2nd and she was kind enough to reassure me and even made sure she'd deliver me. I had c-sections, and she did such an amazing job, my scar is almost non-existant, and my recovery's were smooth. After delivery, my blood pressure whacked out, and once again, Dr. Safie came to my rescue! She's in it for the patients, and the joy, not the money. Therefore she has the right attitude. I can NOT SAY ENOUGH WONDERFUL things about her, and wish her great success. I'm so glad she left Crown, as the staff was rude and intolerable. Had Dr. Safie not have been affiliated, I would of left crown and filed a complaint against them! Love Dr. Safie!
Dr. Safie is the best Doctor any woman could ask for. I do feel that the front office staff hare to tolerate and do they do not care about a pregnant woman's emotions and are completely rude and unwilling to help. I just learned that Dr. Safie is leaving Crown Medical Group, but I am not sure were she is going. If anyone knows please let me know.
I was very pleased with my visit had 4 th child with dr safie i would not go nowwhere else as far as the staff if u treat people with a attitude ur goin to get a attitude you treat people the way you wanna be treated love dr safie will follow her anywhere

Monmouth Dominates Central Conn., 16-6
from press release
NEW BRITAIN, Conn. - Monmouth University's (6-2, 1-0 NEC) women's lacrosse team earned its first Northeast Conference win of the season by earning a impressive 16-6 victory over Central Connecticut State (5-4, 0-1 NEC) on Friday afternoon.
Ten different Hawks scored in the contest for Monmouth which improved to 6-2 on the season. Junior Sam Lillo (Short Hills, N.J./Milburn) tied a career high with five points on three goals and two assists. Senior Molly O'Brien (Kennett Square, Pa./Unionville) had four points in the win, including a trio of goals.
The 16 goals are the most scored by Monmouth since a 21-13 win over Long Island on April 17, 2009.
Monmouth secured a 11-0 lead after the first half was completed, with senior midfielder Carissa Franzi (Fairfield, N.J./West Essex) tallying the first goal just 1:15 into the game. Just over a minute later O'Brien scored her first goal to put the Hawks ahead 2-0. Monmouth scored eight more goals over the next 20 minutes then added one with 1:39 left in the half to complete the scoring.
The two teams played scoreless through the first 13 minutes of the second frame before Central's Lyndsey Mastrandrea got the Blue Devils on the board with an unassisted goal. O'Brien answered a few minutes later and MU took a 14-2 lead on goals by senior Kaitlin Feeney (Baltimore, Md./Towson HS) and sophomore Gianna D'Urso (Fairfield, N.J./West Essex). O'Brien and junior Lynn White (Deer Park, N.Y./Deer Park) finished the scoring for the Hawks who eventually won 16-6.
Franzi had a pair of goals but led MU in the hustle stats category with four ground balls and a pair of caused turnovers. D'Urso had a pair of goals to go along with her five ground balls and four draw controls. Lillo also had four draw controls in addition to her five point effort. Junior Olivia Salata (Broomall, Pa./Archbishop Carroll) had a season-high three points on a goal and two helpers. Twenty-five different players saw in-game action for the Blue & White.
Senior netminder Kirby Mundorf (Cambridge, Md./Seton Keogh) had four saves while CCSU netminder Erin Delancy had nine stops as Monmouth held a 28-15 advantage in shots. MU also gathered 16 draws compared to CCSU's eight while collecting a season-high 23 ground balls on the day.
MU, which is now 4-0 on the road in 2011, will face Bryant on Sunday at 1 p.m. in Smithfield, R.I.

Chris Cornell Drops Out Of Jay-Z's Music Festival
Soundgarden star Chris Cornell has pulled out of a planned performance at Jay-Z's inaugural Made in America music festival this weekend.
The rapper will launch the event in Philadelphia on September 1st with acts including Pearl Jam, Passion Pit, Drake and Run DMC. Cornell was among the artists on the bill, but he has now scrapped his Sunday set due to a scheduling conflict.
A statement posted on the singer's website reads, "Unfortunately, due to a scheduling conflict Chris Cornell is unable to perform at the Made in America festival in Philadelphia on September 2 as previously planned. Apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment."
The news has angered fans who bought tickets to see Cornell and the star has issued an apology, insisting the decision to pull out was made weeks ago and should have been announced earlier.
In a post on his Facebook.com page, Cornell writes, "Woke up to learn some people f**ked up. I pulled out of the MIA Festival 2 weeks ago. I apologize to my fans that you were not told and bought tix (tickets). I will find a resolution and get back to u (sic)."

MINNEAPOLIS - Six months after settling into her new home in northeast Minneapolis, Susan Snyder finally finished the move a couple of weekends ago. No, she didn't just get around to unpacking the last box. She completed the task of making the place her own by having it blessed.
"The house feels complete now," she said. "It feels settled. It feels the way it's supposed to."
Home blessings are "the biggest shelter trend since feng shui," said Donna Henes, a shaman based in New York City who has been blessing homes for 35 years. "That was back in the days when eyebrows were raised (at the mention of a blessing). But times change. Now people are embracing alternate spiritualities."
The blessings are conducted by a wide range of practitioners, from ceremonial artists to ordained clergy. Snyder's was done by the Rev. Katherine Engel, a Twin Cities interfaith minister who has been conducting such ceremonies for six years and insists that they are not a challenge to mainstream religious practices.
"It's not 'instead of' but 'in addition to,'" she said.
"It's the 21st century, and churches are changing. The traditional ways are still there, but people aren't afraid to look at new ways."
Still, misunderstandings arise. "It's not a house exorcism," said the Rev. Shelley Dugan, a Unitarian Universalist who has been doing blessings in the Twin Cities for 12 years. "It's a way to deal with both the physical and emotional aspects of transition."
There are almost as many different reasons for home blessings as there are different styles of homes. Some people get them when they move into a house where something negative has happened - a death, for instance. Other people do it to give their new home a fresh start.
And it doesn't even have to be a new home; more people are having their homes blessed every year or two, cleaning out the old energy the same way they clean out the garage.
A song in every room
Snyder was having her third home blessing. She'd had one after each of her previous two moves as well.
"You definitely get a sense of inviting some other spiritual energy into the house," she said. "It marks my living here. It's like putting a stamp on it - a really, really nice stamp."
The blessing Engel did for Snyder lasted about a half-hour as she moved from room to room, excising the old energy and filling the space with new. At Engel's encouraging, Snyder invited a group of friends and neighbors to witness the blessing - which, when it's Engel, also means taking part in it.
"I'm a big believer in group participation," she said. "I teach everyone a song beforehand and then, as we go from one room to the next, we sing it - verse one here, verse two there, and so on.
Each stage has a different prayer, too, that I teach everyone. And at the end, everyone lights a candle and says an individual blessing or their wishes for the home."
While home blessings are trendy, "they certainly aren't brand new," Dugan said. "They go back centuries. It's just that they aren't used very much anymore, in part because people don't know to ask for them."
Henes said that lack of awareness is a cultural issue.
"Every culture in the world has blessings - except ours," she said. "They have home blessings, baby blessings and retirement blessings. Our culture is bereft of ceremony."
Dugan agreed that for many of her clients, the ritual itself often is as important as the benefits it promises to generate.
"I believe that rituals are vital in our lives," she said. "Many of the calls I get are from people who do not have a church home. People who belong to faith communities get rituals (during weekly services), but those outside the church don't, and I think they feel that void."

The San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals completed one of the first big trades of this offseason on Monday morning.
Left-handed starter Jonathan Sanchez, a key contributor to the 2010 World Series-winning campaign, was sent along with minor-leaguer Ryan Verdugo for Royals center-fielder Melky Cabrera.
It was a trade that both teams needed to make, as San Francisco desperately needs help in their outfield, while Kansas City is seeking some adequate production from their starting rotation.
Overall, I see this as a great deal from the Royals perspective.
Here are five reasons why KC got a steal in this trade with the Giants.

It's a Girl!
Baby showers don't always have to be a surprise. In fact, planning the party after the bundle of joy arrives gives friends and relatives an opportunity to meet the tiny guest of honor.
No matter when you host the shower, you won't get rattled thinking about the menu if you turn to these lovely lunch items.
As guests arrive, serve Celebration Punch, then top the table with Tropical Chicken Salad and Spinach Salad with Honey Dressing. The Watermelon Baby Carriage not only holds a beautiful blend of fruit but serves as a centerpiece as well.
In addition to a rich dessert, pass around pretty plates piled high with refreshing Party Mint Patties.
Here are some more recipe ideas: Chocolate Cheesecake Squares, Lemon Squares, Strawberry Cheese Bundles, Candy Pacifiers, Cucumber Party Sandwiches, Broccoli Chicken Braid and Sunflower Cheese Ball.
Starting a Time Capsule for the Baby
Looking for a fun tradition to begin at a baby shower? Help the parents start a "time capsule" of the baby's first year of life.
Select a durable container that will last for years, such as a heavy cardboard box or plastic container with tight-fitting lid.
When you send out the invitations, inform the guests you're starting a time capsule and ask each guest to bring an item to add. Assign a specific object to each guest or provide them with a list of possibilities to spark their creativity. Here are some ideas:
- Newspapers and television guides with the year of the child's birth
- Magazines featuring current clothing styles
- Grocery store ads showing food prices
- Stamps or coins
- Music compact discs
- Television video tapes or DVDs
- Popular toys (Beanie Babies, etc.)
- Copy of the baby's family tree
- Handwritten letters to baby
- Copies of family-favorite recipes
- Recent pictures of family and friends
- Clean newborn diapers or clothes
In lieu of party games, present the time capsule container to the mother-to-be. Go around the room and have each guest add their own item.
After the party, encourage Mom and Dad to add pictures from the shower and other mementos from the baby's first year (lock of hair, favorite rattle, discarded pacifiers, etc.).
Note: To avoid yellowing, place all papers in resealable plastic bags. Put photos on acid-free pages to prevent deterioration.
On the baby's first birthday, have the parents seal the capsule, adhere a "Do Not Open Until" label (indicating a special date in the future, such as the child's 16th birthday, high school graduation day or birth of their own baby) and tuck it away in a cool dry place like a closet.

And we'll probably consider resigning a couple of players including Davis, Fields and Walker. I think all what we'll be able to do next offseason is to offer minimum exceptions and full mid-level.

'Supernatural' Recap: Know Thy Selfie
Sam and Dean have encountered many dastardly demons and douchebags during their hunting escapades, but none have been more irksome than The Ghostfacers. In last night's episode of "Supernatural" called "Thinman," the duo resurfaced after six years with their usual shenanigans and a surprising amount of angst.
Before we dive in, I must confess that I have held a grudge against the Ghostfacers for years. I enjoyed their episode way back in season 1's "Hell House" however when they returned in season 3, it was the first episode back after the writers' strike forced all shows to go dark mid-season. Dean's life was on the line and the Ghostfacers straight up plot-blocked us all. "Thinman" is yet another episode with no movement on the First Blade and the Mark of Cain arc, and it feels like very unpleasant deja vu. But I will watch this episode as objectively as I can.
Grab your ninja outfit and let's dive in, shall we?
In the cold open, a young girl was brutally killed in her closet after a duckfaced selfie fest that showed an eerie faceless man hovering over her shoulder. When the non-brothers go to investigate, they run into a desperate mother who seems to be more worried about her ruined carpet than her daughter's death though she tearfully praises the "Supernaturalists" for investigating the murder. The Winchesters' reunion with the Ghostfacers is as warm as dry ice. Sam looms and glowers and Dean makes with the mockery and the threats: "You two clowns are going to get into that mystery machine outside and leave town or I'm going to put holes in your knees. When the guys stall and hold their ground, Dean continues: "I will shoot you....bitches."
"That's 50 Shades of Way Too Much Protein," Harry grouses and I actually chuckled. Have I been Ghostfaced?
Like in the "Supernatural" days of yore, the case was a bit of a noggin-scratcher. It feels like season 2 again when Sam and Dean argue over what kind of monster it might be. Sam thinks it's a Thinman or a crossroads demon; Dean thinks it's a ghost. The lore is no help. I just need Sam to say "It's not our kind of thing, Dean," so I can giggle in fangirl glee.
The owner of the local diner is Victim #2, and the video of his death is mysteriously posted online and goes viral within hours. It's almost like the demon wants the attention, which is not a motivation common to the paranormal but to lonely humans.
Dean takes a moment to imagine what video of Sam and Dean would go viral: a 5-year-old Sammy in a Batman costume jumping off the shed and breaking his arm. Sam only jumped because a Dean, dressed as Superman, did. Dean had to give Sam a ride to the hospital on his handlebars. Talk about being punched in the feels. This story in which Sam and Dean have costumes, a shed and a bike flies in the face of a lot of canon, but I can overlook it because it's so adorable and it's lovely to see the brothers laughing again. On second viewing, it seems that Dean purposely brought this up to remind Sam of happier times and gauge how angry Sam still is. The moment happens, which is big, but it ends quickly, which is sad.

For the second year in a row, Michael Jackson has topped Forbes magazine's list of top-earning dead celebrities.
The King of Pop, who died two years ago at the age of 50, brought in $170 million for his estate over the past 12 months, enough to place him ahead of every other pop music act of the past year — both living and dead — except for Irish rock band U2.
Elvis came in second place, earning $55 million, thanks to his songbook and a hit Las Vegas stage production featuring his tunes mounted by Cirque de Soleil.
In third place was movie siren Marilyn Monroe, who had $27 million in earnings over the past year.
"Peanuts" cartoon creator Charles Schulz was fourth while John Lennon tied for fifth place with screen goddess Elizabeth Taylor, both earning $12 million.
While much of Lennon's revenues came as payment from other musicians performing his music, Taylor's largely came from her perfume White Diamonds.
The fragrance had gross sales of $54 million in the United States in 2010, according to industry experts cited by Forbes.
Taylor's estate also appears likely to net handsomely from a December sale later this year by the Christie's auction house featuring the late actress's jewels, art work and gowns. Experts said it could fetch $30 million.
Forbes, which compiled its list by consulting agents, lawyers and other experts, said the year's 15 deceased top earners were:
1. Michael Jackson
2. Elvis Presley
3. Marilyn Monroe
4. "Peanuts" cartoon creator Charles Schulz
5. John Lennon, tied with Elizabeth Taylor
7. Theoretical physicist Albert Einstein
8. Children's author Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel
9. Jimi Hendrix; Stieg Larsson; Steve McQueen; Richard Rodgers
13. George Harrison; Bettie Page; Andy Warhol

By Hara Estroff Marano, published on May 1, 2007 - last reviewed on June 9, 2016
Say good-bye to lean cuisine. If your goal is successful dieting, you'll do better with what might be called keen cuisine.
Sophisticated psychological processes like willpower and negotiation—even lending a helping hand to others—may embody your character but they are also fed literally by glucose that circulates from gut to brain. Exercising the self-control needed for dieting, overriding urges, paying attention, or engaging in any effortful executive brain function imposes unusual nutritional demands on the brain. That makes a strong and steady supply of the mind's preferred energy source a nutritional requirement.
"Eating foods that provide stable and healthy glucose levels should help people muster their self-control," says Matthew Gailliot, professor of psychology at the University of Amsterdam. "It is sadly ironic that people might fail at dieting so often because dieting reduces the very energy source—glucose—needed to diet."
Which meals provide optimal energy for such uniquely human mental activities? "Focus on foods rich in lean protein and complex carbohydrates," says nutritionist Jeannie Gazzaniga Moloo of Sacramento, California. Such foods are metabolized at a steady rate and lead to stable blood-sugar levels. Think low-fat yogurt and fresh strawberries. Veggies with a hummus dip. Fish or grilled chicken.
In addition to the right foods, timing is everything in keen cuisine. "Eat every three to four hours and make sure the food choices are rich in complex carbs and lean protein to sustain glucose levels," says Moloo. And if you know you're facing a stressful situation, having a healthy snack beforehand—peanut butter on whole-grain crackers, say—could help your blood sugar rise to the occasion.
Otherwise, decision-making and effortful control of thoughts are impaired. The brain's supply of glucose gets quickly depleted by acts of self-control. Overriding automatic response tendencies consumes significant amounts of real energy.
"Willpower is more than a metaphor," says psychologist Roy Baumeister of Florida State University, who explained the starring role of glucose in psychological high-wire acts in an issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology: "The human body is undeniably an energy system. Evolution gave us this new and more complicated way of acting, but it's expensive in terms of fuel burned. Being our better selves is biologically costly." We pay a price for the uniquely human ideals of virtue and wisdom: Meeting them consumes more energy than ordinary cognitive processes do.

MeMe and Bruce Pederson's guests know they've come to the right party. It's midafternoon on New Year's Eve, just about the time that hundreds of shivering tourists in Manhattan are squeezing into Times Square. Here at the Pedersons' house in Palm Springs, people are splashing around in a sunlit pool.
Inside, a dinner table is set for 14, with a shimmering green tablecloth, clusters of pink peonies and roses, and plates neatly laid. Oysters with grapefruit granita, short ribs, and warm pear crisp stand by, ready to roll. MeMe is totally on top of things.
Which isn't surprising. She's the co-owner of Taste, a San Francisco catering company that orchestrates an average of 700 parties a year ― everything from a company picnic for 10,000 to presidential dinners laden with protocol to intimate suppers for 10.
You'd think that on her time off, she'd just want to plop on the couch. Instead, MeMe entertains every chance she gets. "I like having people in my home. I love having my own music, my own wine, my own food, and thinking about how the table is going to look. I like the process almost as much as I like the dinner itself."

For those of us who are grieving a loss, holidays are the most difficult of times. The upcoming holiday, Thanksgiving, celebrates gratitude for the bounty we have. But, you may be thinking: What do I have to be grateful for? I've lost the love of my life. I will never be the same. My life is in a big black hole. The usual anticipation of the Thanksgiving meal, with friends and family around a bountiful table, a turkey, dishes of our favorite foods, pies, cakes, is not remotely possible.
If the terrible pain of loss makes it impossible for you to be cheered; if you just want to be alone, either because you cannot imagine listening to all the laughter when you cry all the time, or to be around people, even those you love, when the person you love most will be missing, then follow your heart. Do what you wish to do and not what someone tells you would be the 'right' thing to do. If you want to be alone, then be alone. But if you think there may be a few people you would feel comfortable sharing this holiday with, invite them to your home or go to theirs. Have compassion for yourself and don't put yourself into a situation you don't want to be in.
I invite you to read my blog; Alone at the Holidays to see if there is anything there for you at this moment in time. But, please remember this: if you can do nothing but sit still and mourn at this holiday time, then you will be in the company of millions of others who are feeling as you are. So in our aloneness we are still together.
I'll be thinking of you.

Owner of shot dogs speaks out
Man shot dogs after police say he felt threatened by them
A Janesville man shot two pit bull-type dogs Saturday night after they charged toward him and cornered him in his garage.
Janesville police said an investigation showed a resident shot the dogs belonging to his neighbor after the dog's left the owner's property and charged toward the man in his garage.
Police said the man felt threatened by the dogs and shot them both. One was found dead in the garage, which the other went back to the neighbor's house.
Police said all the shots were fired within the resident's single car garage, and evidence supports the resident's story. Police plan to forward the case to the district attorney's office for possible charges.
But on Sunday, the dogs' owner, Maria Ochs, spoke to WISC-TV3 and said that the dogs were the victims in the incident.
"I rehabilitated these dogs," said Ochs. "They were microchipped, they had their shots, they were spayed. There was nothing wrong with these dogs. They had no violent history."
Janesville police responded to the incident at 7:50 p.m. Saturday at 1430 Sharon Road, according to the release.
Ochs said her surviving dog was shot seven times.

Love & HIV
<< < (8/8)
--- Quote from: DanielMark on June 18, 2006, 02:34:49 PM ---Why would I not want to give myself the best possible odds? If you think you will never find a compatible mate, then you probably wont.--- End quote ---Agree... whether you think you can or think you can't...you're right. :)
Hi Jordan,An optimistic attitude is just as easy to choose as a pessimistic one. Its not rocket science, once youre aware of. I know it sounds simple, but that's because it is. Nobody said it would be easy.Ive been jilted in love, and outright rejected. But I refuse to become some jaded old cynic because of that. Im still here, and no way am I going to live in despair, no matter what anyone else chooses.Significant other or not, I am responsible for my own happiness.PS: I like your signature by the way.
My earlier post was written out of two impulses: insomnia-exacerbated bitterness (I don't normally post at 7 a.m., I hadn't been able to sleep all night) and a horror of New-Agey-Self-Helpesque-I'mOKYoureOK palliatives. I see plenty of silver linings. And I LOVE love. I love cheesy romantic songs (my friends mock me relentlesly for owning Air Supply). And it's not that I think I'm "undeserving" of love. Oh sure, like everyone I have (healthy?) doubts -- am I out of shape? is my nose too big? am I boring my date? -- but I would go so far as to say that I think of myself as a "catch." And sure, optimism (not necessarily a matter of choice, but anyway) is usually, in most situations, better than pessimism. Remember the Monty Python song: "Life's a piece of shit, When you look at it. Always look on the bright side of life..."I suppose one function of these boards is to emphasize to the second sentence of that refrain, and that's a good thing. Or, switching from Monty Python to (supposedly) weightier stuff: Epictetus -- "It is not things, but ideas about things, that make people upset." And Hamlet: "... for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."So... Do I think I'll find love, romance, compatible mate, the whole shebang? Yeah, maybe. Do I think it's inevitable? No. Do I think that I'll be single and lonely when I die, surrounded by gin bottles and crazy cats? Yeah, perhaps. Am I going to have plenty of fun on the ride? Damn right!In-love-with-love Jay
I had the same thoughts you did when I was first diagnosed...it caused me to relapse (alcohol and crack). Then, later, after some recovery, I was approached by woman (I'm straight) and didn't believe it when she wanted to have sex with me despite my disclosure (we were very careful and used condoms). We split, then I hooked up with another woman. I've since been with a total of four women in relationships. Each time, I disclose. We always wait before having intercourse, and I invite them to see my doctor so they get the information first hand from somebody else than me who will give them the straight story on the risks without any possiblity of being self interested.Having HIV has made me a much more tender, open, communicative lover. We have very frank discussions about all kinds of sexual issues. I sure miss the spontaneity and freedom of no condoms but there are much bigger payoffs in the openness and loving that we share. Love and sex is really much better for me now than it was before HIV. Strange to say, but true.Just hang in there, and be open with your potential lovers. You will know when and how to disclose. It's scary but also amazing how people react to so much honesty.
Molten-I had the same feeling that u had when I became diagnosed, or when I heard those few words that drastically changed my life. I told my bf, who has proposed to me a month b4, and he claimed that we will both work our way thru it. Mb he was just trying to put up a strong front or mb he was panicked, I am not sure. I then told my closest friends, who happen to b pos as well. They claimed that I was strong and resourceful and I will manage. I am still trying to this very day. A month l8r of when I heard my results, my soon-2-b partner visited me. It seemed that he just cud not leave his hands 2 himself. I felt so ashamed and guilty that there were many of nights that I just cud not sleep, even in my own bed beside him. I slept out on the couch instead.Thruout all my tantrums and depression, we r still 2gether. I just wud not b the same w/o him. I miss him terribly cuz he lives in London, UK. It has always been a dream that we both share 2 get me emigrated over there, but that is in itself a very SLOW process. There r more times that I feel that he has not researched fully what I have been going thru, but I know that he does care immensely.What I am trying to say thruout this long, long story is that the "loaded gun" mentality is common w/ newly infected individuals; but over time it is kept in a very dark corner of the brain and rarely thought about. It is still there, but tucked deeply away from the normal struggles of daily living.U will get used to it, it may take time. Time heals all wounds, or a majority of them. When this thought is somehow forgotten, u will find the "one". It may take time, but the "right" one will come along.RobT9/27/2005-1st test resultsViral Load >1,000,000CD4 204CD4%age 18CD4/CD8 ratio .2311/24/2005- Sustiva/Truvada04/18/2006Viral Load 140CD4 402CD4%age .21CD4/CD8 ratio .39Next appt.-06/27/2006 (lab results)

Dodd-Frank revision set to bring data sharing a step closer
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, the US post-trade infrastructure company, has said it is hopeful that Congress will proceed with the removal of a key clause in the Dodd-Frank Act which threatens to frustrate the G20 reform programme.
New rules in the US and Europe are forcing firms to report their derivatives trades to a central location known as a trade repository, which will reduce systemic risk by giving regulators visibility of trading firms' trading exposures.
The Dodd-Frank "indemnification" provision requires foreign regulators to grant US-based data repositories indemnification in exchange for access, meaning US repositories are not liable should foreign regulators misuse the data.
The clause is regarded as a big obstacle to data sharing since foreign regulators are unlikely to agree and domestic US regulators have said privately that they could not comply if similar retaliatory requirements were imposed on them.
Although US swaps watchdog the Commodity Futures and Trading Commission has issued temporary and specific exemptions in certain circumstances, derivatives experts argue that a long-term legislative fix is necessary.
The DTCC operates several trade repositories internationally, while those operated by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the IntercontinentalExchange, Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and the Japan Financial Services Authority are in progress.
The DTCC began lobbying members of Congress last year and had secured 41 bipartisan sponsors for a bill correcting the clause by the end of December. A DTCC spokesman said: "I think many in Congress now realise that data fragmentation is a significant issue.
The fact that a Dodd-Frank-related bill has wide bipartisan support shows that this is a relatively non-controversial issue and that the indemnification clause is essentially a drafting error."
The issue of data sharing has become more important as the industry begins data reporting in earnest this year. Traditionally, regulators have shared data on a bilateral, ad hoc basis and there are no formal industry frameworks governing the practice.
Many fear that rules restricting regulators from sharing and aggregating swaps data would limit their capacity to spot a rise in systemic risk, and could also result in duplicated trade reporting and increased operating costs for trading firms.
David Clark, chairman of the Wholesale Markets Brokers Association, said: "The issue of swaps data reporting and aggregation is extremely complicated.
It's crucial that the supervisors receive clean, holistic information so that they can properly analyse it and understand exposures: that is the end of the rainbow."
The International Organization of Securities Commissions, the standards-setting body tasked with helping to implement the G20 agenda, is due to publish guidelines on data sharing in March.
Stewart Macbeth, president and chief executive of DTCC Deriv/SERV, the company's trade repository business, said that despite these efforts "significant impediments" to data sharing remained under the current and emerging regulatory regimes.
The European Market Infrastructure Regulation, the detailed rules of which are still being finalised, dictates that any data sharing requires a bilateral agreement between the EU and the country in question.
Macbeth said: "The problem is that the definition of that agreement is not clear, and we don't know if that is a lightweight agreement or a full-blown treaty, and in the case of the latter it is only the Commission that has the power to negotiate a treaty on behalf of the EU."
Ryan Baccus, vice-president at Sapient, a consultancy that helps trading firms report their trades, said the Emir provision was not as "insurmountable" as the indemnification clause, but added that there were other practical challenges relating to data privacy laws.
He said: "There are privacy issues with respect to exposing trading data to foreign regulators, under national laws.
"Many jurisdictions would not be able to disclose the name of the counterparty, for example. Some regulators, such as the CFTC, have argued that the fact firms can report trades demonstrates good operational controls, even if the regulators are not yet able to fully interrogate the data.
But when it comes to developing a model for data sharing, the industry has a long way to go."

Putting their 'dukes' up:
Brigade set for Afghanistan deployment
The Army is known for its military traditions and pageantry.
Another military tradition was conducted Dec. 9 as 3,444 soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, otherwise known as the "Duke Brigade," held their deployment ceremony.
The brigade consists of six separate units, including the Brandenburg-adopted 1-6 Field Artillery Battalion.
Brigade soldiers are scheduled to deploy in early winter to eastern Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Their mission will be to assist Afghan national security forces in protecting the Afghan people, neutralize the insurgency, and set the conditions necessary for successful transition of regional control to the Afghan government.
"The Army is the most potent lethal force in America," said Lt. Gen. and Commanding Gen. Benjamin C. Freakley in his remarks to the soldiers during the sunlit – but cold – ceremony at the Brooks Field Court of Honor.
"This ceremony will mark their year-long deployment to Afghanistan, where they'll participate in combat operatons in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and serve with the Afghan national security forces," he said.
Freakley said the brigade has a long history of service, dating back to its creation on May 24, 1917.
The unit fought in both world wars and also proceeded to Vietnam where it saw six years of combat, earning 13 streamers and citations for its actions.
After Vietnam, the unit moved to its new home station in Germany, where it remained until it was deployed to Saudi Arabia to participate in the defense of that country and in the liberation and defense of the Kuwaiti Campaigns. They also deployed to Bosnia for Operation Joint Guard; served in the Balkans and Kosovo, and Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom II.
For its distinguished service, the brigade earned the Meritorious Unit Commendation and the Valorous Unit Award.
"These soldiers have a clear mission focus and they are tougher, but they are facing a tough enemy," Freakley said.
"We know that you're ready to win and that you'll prevail and our family members will remain vigilant until you come home," he said. "You are soldiers of the Duke Brigade and may God bless you and your families."
One person who has lived through three previous deployments is Carolyn Tagalicud, the wife of Command Sgt. Maj. Walter Tagalicud of the 2-2 Infantry.
"Each of us deal with it a different way. I deal with it by not watching any news reports during the entire time he's gone," she said. "My televison news viewing decreases sharply."
Her husband's first deployment lasted 15 months and was attached to a training exercise, making it longer, she said.
"It's going to be a rougher time now," she admitted. "The kids are grown and it's going to be getting a little lonely, but all you can do is the best you can."
Since arriving at Fort Knox, soldiers have conducted training designed to prepare them for the rigors of combat, said Lt. Col. Alan Streeter, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Infantry Regiment.
"The training program was exactly what they needed," he said. "It was well designed. They've been through some tough training."
In just over a year, the brigade has built their personnel strength to over 3,500 soldiers, organized and trained as combat-ready battalions to combat proficiency and integrated 9,000 separate types of military equipment.
The support of the community played a large part in making the deployment ceremony a success, Streeter said. He hoped they would continue to support the brigade once they deployed.
"We're ready to go," said 3rd Brigade Combat team Commander and Col. Christopher Toner. "We are at that stage now.
They know the terrain and the culture they are stepping into, and the Army has been mindful to incorporate linguistics and cultural training into their overall preparedness so they can effectively communicate and interact with the Afghan people."
"These guys and gals are ready to go," he summarized.
Along with the ceremony, military displays featuring the new version of the Army's night vision goggles, which will be used for the first time, and various weapons systems – including Chinook and Blackhawk helicopters – were featured.
The units deploying include:
• 2-2 Infantry Battalion.
• 6-4 Cavalry Squadron.
• 1-6 Field Artillery.
• 3-1 Special Troop Battalion.
• 201st Brigade Support Battalion, and
• 1-26 Infantry Battalion.

History of Cycle Oregon
The Idea
Jim Beaver, an innkeeper at the Chanticleer Inn in Ashland, Oregon, conceived Cycle Oregon in 1987. Beaver contacted Jonathan Nicholas, a columnist at The Oregonian, and initiated the idea of a sister-city coast ride from Astoria to Ashland. After the local Chamber of Commerce voiced its enthusiastic support, a variation of this route was mapped out and Cycle Oregon was born. Generous support came from the Oregon Department of Tourism, which assumed coordinating responsibilities for the event with the goal of increasing tourism and generating income for Oregon's rural communities.
The First Ride
The inaugural event took place in September 1988, with 1,006 cyclists from 20 states. The ride covered 320 miles from Salem to Brookings and generated more than $360,000 for participating communities.
25 Years Later
In 2012, Cycle Oregon 25 included 2,200 participants from 46 states and 8 foreign countries. Over that time, the Cycle Oregon Fund has dispersed more than $1.4 million in grants and has generated millions in benefits for communities throughout the state.

Category: Dr. Albert C. Barnes
One of the many gems in our archival collection is the correspondence between Georgia O'Keeffe and Dr. Barnes. Beginning in 1927, O'Keeffe often wrote to Dr. Barnes, in her beautiful, fluid penmanship, about setting up a visit to the gallery.

by Amanda McKnight, Assistant Archivist and Librarian
When Derek Gillman, executive director and president, and Blake Bradford, director of education, first asked me to teach the Traditions course, they suggested it was time to update the curriculum, remarking that "Dr. Barnes died in 1951, but art didn't stop in 1951."

Spruces Revelation
By Thorton B.
age: 12
New Jersey
Once upon a time, a little spruce tree took root on the south side of a little wooden gingerbread-looking house. The tree stared for hours and hours at the house, admiring its quaint white clapboard shutters, and its gleaming lights, lights that shone through its glass spectacles when the shutters were agape. How magnificent you are! exclaimed the spruce tree. I wish I were you.
Soon spring turned to summer, and fall to winter, and snow was lightly falling from the sky. Spruce couldnt contain his admiration for the house, Your white woolen blanket fits your shoulders well, and it accents your luscious peak. How Spruce wished he stood as square and firm as the house. I bet the North Wind doesnt bother you! I doubt that hes ever made you bow over and over as he runs by, huffing and puffing. Spruce thought back to the day when he made a resolution to stand at attention, forbidding himself to cower to the wind. He remains angry that he weakly relented, when he bowed and saluted to the wind, his branches moaning as his bark began to ache, and oh, how a bark ache travels down ones trunk like a backache of an old man.
Spruce knew that he should be happy. He had forever- green branches, which extended out and around his rugged bark. Not like the haughty birch tree over there, he thought aloud. Shes so shamefully naked in the winter.
Deep in thought, he did not see the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal fly to their favorite branch on the left side of him. Cttt, Ctt, Chhin, the cardinals argued as they prepared for landing. Crash! They landed roughly in the spruce.
Did you see that fir tree, dressed like a china doll in the house? Why cant you provide me with a tree so fine?
Now dear, I am quite fond of our spruce dressed simply with pine cones, he brings out the best features of our nest.
But our tree doesnt have a golden star on top.
Are you forgetting how the frosty icicles of our spruce look, glittering in the starlight?
But the fir had hundreds of golden candles.
I imagine they were painfully hot.
What are you two arguing about? interrupted Spruce with a bit of annoyance in his voice.
There is a grand fir, the most wonderful tree that Ive ever seen, in that house. Ive seen it through the windows, said Mrs. Cardinal. It was standing regally in a bucket of water, but you might not know that because as his feet are being soaked, they are wrapped in the most royal cloak of red velvet.
A tree in the house? In my house? The house I admired for hour and hours?
tis true, tis true, answered Mr. Cardinal, but I cant say its the grandest tree. It is a tree all decorated up, pretending to be something its not. Can you imagine a tree wearing toys, glazed apples and baskets full of candies?
He sounds wonderful; I wish I could see him. Perhaps if I cant be a house, maybe a decorated tree is what I should aspire to be. If only I knew how to act like him.
Hes wonderful, answered Mrs. Cardinal, all
glittering and gleaming, and I watched the family with seven children dance around the tree last night. They received presents and everyone was laughing together for hours.
I thought it must have been painful for that fir tree to have so many hands grabbing at his branches, Mr. Cardinal with his crimson red feathers replied.
How can I wear such an elaborate costume? I want to become like the fir, acting as a grand performer.
You are what you are, replied Mr. Cardinal kindly.
Oh, to be wrapped up with the finest attire, and
have a family dance around me, laughing for hours!
The adults told stories while the children lay down on the red velvet cloak, dreamily looking at the firs statuesque figure, said Mrs. Cardinal.
Ahhh, Spruce thought of how regal he could become if only he could be dressed up, and displayed through a window. But sap trickled down his bark as he realized he was just a spruce. I wonder if my bottom is too full, or if a branch is too crooked. Perhaps thats why I was overlooked when they selected the fir tree. Crying sap, Spruce fell into a deep sleep.
The following morning he woke up very slowly, and very late; he could see the sun already shining high in the sky. He felt sad and dejected and had difficulty shaking off the nights frost. Throughout the day, he felt sorry for himself.
Could I be selected to decorate a grand house?
You would miss the fresh air and the sin shining on your needles and, we would miss you. After all, we have been together for a long time, helping each other survive, Mr. Cardinal warmly responded honestly.
I want to be a fine conifer gentleman.
You are, just as you stand before me, right now. You do not need finery of gold or flickering flames to light up the lives of me and the Mrs. Im hoping your branches will coddle and rock our spring clutch to sleep.
Listen to my sweetheart. I just got carried away, my perspective clouded away by all the grandeur, Mr. Cardinal knows best. And, to tell you the truth, added Mrs. Cardinal fluffing up her dull adobe colored feathers, the story wasnt very good after all.
Mr. Cardinal agreed, No tree could stand up to the wind like you do while soaking their feet in a bucket, and worrying about their golden trinkets.
Perhaps I should be happy as I am, free to soak up the radiant rays of the sun, and breathe fresh oxygen. Free to be me! Yet, I remain depressed when I think of what I could have been.
Then Thud! He heard a dull wooden sound. Looking to his right, he saw the tree, and with the exception of the golden star, was devoid of all other finery. In fact, he looked dry and peaked.
Why are you lying on your side? Where are your glittering accessories? Spruce asked. No reply came from the fir tree.
Spruce, said Mr. Cardinal, as he looked him straight in the eye, I believe the fir trees party is over. His grandeur has come and gone. Do you really want to end up like him, in the wood pile waiting to be chopped into pieces?
No, I guess thats what Momma seed meant when she said the soil wasnt more fertile on the other side.

Training restaurant revamped
Date posted: Wednesday 23 Mar 2011
Swinburne's Prahran campus training restaurant has had a makeover, emerging as the aptly named The Apprentice. It will be formally launched this evening by Jarno Trulli, Formula One driver for Lotus.
Tucked away on O'Brien Walk off High Street, the refurbished restaurant seats up to 80.
It has been repainted throughout, carpets have been removed, and existing floorboards polished and sealed. The restaurant now features a new reception, lighting, bar and furniture.
The makeover is the inspiration of Swinburne's new hospitality management team at the Prahran campus, Hospitality, Tourism and Events Manager, Sanjeev Singh and Operations and Restaurant Manager, chef Dario D'Agostino.
Both have extensive experience in the hospitality industry.
The Apprentice will reopen to the public on Monday 18 April. Please call 9214 6571 for further details.

Maaike Caelers (NED) is part of a rising crew of athletes coming up in the Netherlands. She finished off the 2012 season on a high with top three finishes in Stockholm and Auckland. Then this year, Caelers came billowing out in the same fashion with a silver in the World Triathlon Series season opener in Auckland. This week, the up and comer takes time to answer our Fast Five questions.
Tell us about your first triathlon.
I was nine years old and I was the fastest runner of the class. I saw a registration and I could training for a month for free and I started to do that. After a month there was a race. I won the race and since then I knew I liked triathlon. First you do three trainings a week – one bike, one swim, one run – but when it got to be serious that's when I was 16 years old and you train more and more and you end up in the World Triathlon Series.
Favourite training destination:
Favourite vacation destination:
Favourite motivational song:
Don't have one
Favourite post training snack:
Favourite coffee:
I don't drink coffee but I like chai latte with soy milk.
What is your favourite World Triathlon Series race?
I think Yokohama. Two years ago I had just made the squad because I needed to have a top 20 and I made the top 20. Last year I got on the podium, so Yokohama.
In five years' time where do you want to be?
I hope to be a stable factor in the top 10 or top 5 maybe.
What is your favourite training activity?
I like a long, easy run. I like the track in Christchurch. It's next to the sea. It's beautiful, but I don't like track training.
What advice would you give age-group athletes?
I would say listen to your body. When it says you are tired, you need to listen to it. You do a different training than what you are maybe supposed to do.
Not many people would describe 22% climbs as "so fun" but then again, not many people are Kirsten Sweetland. Read up on the Canadian in this week's Fast Five.
Alessandro Fabian is one of the fastest runners on the men's circuit. He's also one of the most jubilant. Get to know the man outside the triathlete in this week's Fast Five.
Jodie Stimpson has had a dynamite breakout year so far this season. Get to know the Brit off the course with this week's Fast Five questions.
The last year has been a series of changes and new beginnings for Aileen Reid. Read more about the Irish Olympian in this week's Fast Five questions.

Cry Baby Eyebrow Wagger

Guess what, my rail pass is in Mr. B. Tyler's name. Told them he was no longer living and did they have a suggestion as to what I was to do. They ended up validating it ,just to get rid of me. So rumor must have got to the conductor that I was what we call "sensitive" maybe even appeared "delicate " today
CHANGED TRAINS, I thought European train system was efficient, well my first transfer was delayed. Not only delayed but at the last minute moved to another platform. Which I wouldn't have known if I had not aggravated the platform conductor guy to death. One reason was I don't speak German, the other because trains are coming and going in every direction, and little signs telling what is coming next are flipping everywhere. Of course when they announced the delay I was clueless as to what they were saying. I finally told this eyebrow wagging guy that I was sitting right outside of his door and was making it his responsibility to tell me if I had to change platforms. Now to add irritation to it the first time I was talking to him his eyebrows kept moving up and down quickly and I thought he was picking on me. So I say "It is not funny -Quit doing that with your eyebrows" -----Well after we finished talking he stepped out to call a train and his poor little eyebrows were clicking up and down constantly, I felt awful. He had asked me to slow down talking so he could understand me, I guess I set off a terrible case of eyebrow clicks. Well I finally got on went where they sent me, couldn't open the door, tried and tried
So now it is bedtime, we have passed some mountains somewhere in Germany - Good Night.
Cry Baby
I'll add pictures tomorrow , I am on wireless---

My dd's 6 month checkup was today and the doc. said that she should be eating solids 3 times a day and that it's AS IMPORTANT as breastmilk. She's a great ped. and gives me no grief about my choices (waiting until 6 months, no vaccinations, etc...). My dd is only eating some solids at dinner time and not in place of breastmilk. We're more in the 'trying it out' stage right now. Is there any validity to the 3 times a day?
Also, I've read from other sources that grains should not be given until baby is 1 year old due to a lack of an enzyme that breaks it down. Does anyone know about this? I remember giving my two older children grains at 4 months and they did fine (they weren't bf either though). Any thoughts?
