Raw Organic Perfect Food Powder, Chocolate Cacao Flavor by Garden of Life tastes like chocolate milk to me (realize I am do a lot of green and no chocolate milk anymore). But really if you are trying to eat healthier, this is a good place to start to get used to more nutrient dense food.
Tastes great. Nutritious. Easy to mix. All these are a little expensive, but I think cheaper than making my own and so much easier.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Good Product
I definitely prefer Perfect Food RAW (Chocolate Cacao) by Garden of Life over the regular Green Formula. This product definitely has a slight chocolate taste but don't expect it to totally hide the Greens taste - it does lessen the strong Greens taste.
The Chocolate Cacao flavor definitely lessens the harsh Greens taste.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Except myself my family was not able to consume the RAW Organic Green Super Food being too green taste however with CACAO made the difference to smooth out extreme greenness.

The Portland music scene is getting all kinds of Web-friendly. On July 24, SPENCER ALBEE and DAVE GUTTER of RUSTIC OVERTONES (and AS FAST AS and PARANOID SOCIAL CLUB) will join BULL MOOSE co-owner CHRIS BROWN as part of a live chat hosted by the Bull Moose group on Facebook. They'll answer any questions you throw at them from 4:30 to 5 pm. Any Facebook member can view the chat, though only Bull Moose group members can ask a question, so join the group in advance if you want in. And don't think this is a totally naked marketing thing — Bull Moose didn't even start the Facebook group. Some high school kid named STEVE MORSE did. He just really likes Bull Moose.
Former Portland label MCKEEN STREET MUSIC, home of HORSE THIEF, GRAEME K., and BRENDA, got a nice write up in SEATTLE SOUND in June. Mark Baumgarten calls Graeme a "collage popist" and allows the label guys to spout insults about Olympia's withering music scene. Entertaining.

Big fish eat small 3D

It's cruel, yes, but nature works this way. Big fish eat small and there's nothing they can do but grow and face them or run. You embody a young cephalopod of the deep ocean who needs to be fed. He starts almost in the beginning of the food chain but he will climb as he levels up.
What you need to do to level up is avoiding to hit dangerous objects (like barrels) and fish that are over you in the food chain, that's it, bigger fish. When one of these objects or animals hits you, your level bar drop some bars and you'll eat more small fishes to recover it. Levelling up means that a new fish breed will be added to your menu, that's it, you'll improve your position on the chain food.
3D graphics are great, not stunning but enough for this kind of games. One of the strongest points of this game is its controls: you steer the octopus with tilt controls, what makes it way more interesting and difficult.
We're just missing online leaderboards to submit our best marks. Despite of this, this is highly addictive game.

Blacks and Jews: The Strained Alliance
American Academy of Political and Social Science (AAPSS), March 1981
In Annals, AAPSS 454, 55-69. Black-Jewish relations have always had a paradoxical quality: Blacks and Jews have been strangers to one another, more than popular liberal sentiment would suggest; neighbors, who, at least in the North, have lived and worked in close proximity if not equality; allies in the struggle for civil rights; and opponents, especially on issues as diverse as affirmative action and American policy in the Middle East. This article examines some of the paradoxes in "the strained alliance."

Hi all.
I remember a long time ago, someone pointed to a site that has these large sized canvases for sale, which can be used as a projection screen. I couldn't find that post again. If anyone can point me to a place that sells canvas (already stretched and framed), around 90-100 inch in diagonal length (4:3), please let me know. I know I have to paint the screen - I don't mind.
Thank you.
Muljadi Budiman.
Artist supply shops will have frames in that size range avalible for immediate purchase. SOme stores will have stretched, canvased and pre-gessoed (gesso caoted surface on the canvas-primed for painting) up aproxximately 48"x96", or 4x8 ft. canvas sizes. You can pre-order a canvas from one of these shops, USUALLY....

text: Not if they want the remote to turn it on. But you point was probably that TV with the display "off" uses much less power than a TiVo. I imagine that most people with a DVR of whatever flavor leave it on all the time. Resetting the box prior to removing power probably helps the filesystem if you time it correctly but it won't help the drive. Considering how hot my Roamio runs I suspect it may also be a lot of thermal stress on the board. Perhaps the full-size units run at less than toaster-oven.

In 1926, Charles Coughlin, a Canadian-born Roman Catholic priest, began preaching in a tiny parish in Detroit. A decade later, he was a household name, the Radio Priest, fulminating against Franklin Roosevelt.
Across the United States, tens of millions of Americans listened to Father Coughlin's Sunday-afternoon sermons, which were more about politics than religion. So great was the priest's fan mail at the apogee of his popularity that he needed 106 clerks and four personal secretaries to handle it.
Roosevelt, he thundered, had "out-Hoovered Hoover," a reference to former president Herbert Hoover, by protecting "plutocrats" and "Communists" and allowing the U.S. to fall under the sway of international bankers who were behind the Great Depression. When Roosevelt recommended that the U.S. join the World Court, Father Coughlin went into rhetorical overdrive to kill the idea, which, indeed, died.
Father Coughlin was not alone in those years. Huey Long and the Hearst newspapers - among other voices - played up conspiracies against the republic, attacked communism at home and abroad, and accused Roosevelt of abetting these threats.
Roosevelt won four elections, of course, in the face of this persistent demagoguery, with his Republican opponents taking between 36 per cent and 46 per cent of the popular vote.
Today, as Barack Obama celebrates the first anniversary of his election victory, he and all observers of American politics and society might remember the Father Coughlins of U.S. history.
Like Roosevelt, Mr. Obama has been assaulted by the fiercely ideological, somewhat paranoid, well-financed and media-savvy battalions of the U.S. right. They have their audiences and their causes and the closed loops of their supporters.
They have their rhetoric, too. Just as Father Coughlin warned against handing over the country to people whose names most Americans could not spell, so the most popular Fox News TV host wonders whether the President is working to put the U.S. under a fascist regime. Still others in the blogosphere question whether Mr. Obama is an American citizen or a Muslim who intends to make the U.S. a "socialist" country.
These days, the electronic media dominate information and news: There's the blogosphere and ferociously right-wing websites and, of course, Fox News. In Father Coughlin's time, radio was coming into its own. He mastered that medium with a voice that novelist Wallace Stegner described as "one of the greatest speaking voices of the 20th century." Most of America's newspaper editorial boards remained hostile to Roosevelt. So did most of the country's business community.
Today's right-wing ranting is the current iteration of what historian Richard Hofstadter called in a famous 1964 article the "paranoid style of American politics," the most celebrated 20th-century version of which arguably was Republican senator Joseph McCarthy's witch hunt against Communists inside the U.S. government.
But there are countless other examples that could be drawn from U.S. history of this "style" and its impact on politics that have been fiercely partisan since the first debates between Federalists and Republicans.
The good news for Mr. Obama, of course, is that the more the Republican Party sells its intellectual soul to the right-wingers, and the more it listens to those within the closed loop, the better the President's long-term political chances, whatever the ups and downs of today's polls.
He was handed a mess by the Bush administration - two wars, fiscal deficits, future unfunded liabilities for Social Security and health care, and a crumpled image of the U.S. almost everywhere.
Politically, it has been easy to look good after George W. Bush, the worst American president since Andrew Johnson, Abraham Lincoln's successor. Substantively, it has been hard to figure out how to clean up the mess. Then came the recession, the worst downdraft of the U.S. economy since 1930.
Mr. Obama, of course, has disappointed some of his more liberal supporters, and predictably enraged the right. And a certain revisionism appears to be taking hold, a hankering after the supposed decisiveness of Bill Clinton's first year that was, in historical fact, largely an organizational bust.
Mr. Obama's greatest threat comes not from accusations of dithering or from the right-wing screamers, but from the immense scale of his country's future problems, including wars, deficits and debts, and whether Americans are willing to seriously face all or any of them.Report Typo/Error

Amy Dumas, known in the ring as Lita, is to be honoured with a place in the WWE Hall of Fame at the upcoming pay-per-view Wrestlemania 30 in New Orleans.
The four-time women's champion and fan favourite will be inducted alongside veterans Ultimate Warrior and Jake 'The Snake' Roberts, and join fellow Diva Trish Stratus, who earned her place in 2013.
Wrestling under the name Lita, Dumas started her career at Extreme Championship Wrestling before joining the WWE (then called WWF) in 1999, where she formed a memorable partnership with The Hardy Boyz as Team Xtreme.
Though she has made fleeting returns to the squared circle, Lita has most recently been working in music as the frontwoman of punk rock bad The Luchagors.
Dumas will be inducted at the WWE's flasgship pay-per-view Wrestlemania, which this year is to take place in New Orleans, Louisiana on 6 April.
"So, here I am Class of 2014 Hall of Fame, the dumpster diving punk rock kid that was never supposed to make it, but with too much kid power to let anything get in my way, gearing up to give a speech and accept my position in front of the ultimate under dog of a city," she said. "It seems kind of like the best thing ever."
Attention in the professional wrestling community has been on CM Punk recently, who appeared to quit the WWE quite suddenly last month.Reuse content

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › Footwear Options for Canoeing the Boundry Waters
Mar 13, 2012 at 10:50 am #1287056
Jon FranklinMember
I'm going on a week long excursion to the boundry waters in August. I'm sure most are familiar with the conditions, but I'll be in a canoe half of the time, hiking through mud/sludge/water and doing some light hiking/exploring. Weight is not really an issue, although I'd still like to keep it as light and simple as possible, but It's looking like I'll need two pairs of shoes. I have a pair of NB Trail Runners which are my go-to backpacking shoes and a pair of Teva watershoes which are fairly comfortable.
I'd wear the Teva's in the canoe but I don't know how well they'd drain the water in that condition and I don't want my feet to be rendered soggy and prone to blisters. However, if I purchase a pair of sandals(chaco's?) I don't see things working too well when I have to shlep the canoe through mud/rocks etc. Maybe I'm making this overly complex but since I haven't dealt with these conditions before and we'll be in the middle of nowhere for 6 days I don't want to get myself into a situation which will take away from the enjoyment of the trip. Any ideas on which conbination of footwear to bring? Thanks in advance.

I think Chacos 90% of the time tripping.
I also have a pair of neoprene socks, and sometimes trailrunners. Was looking at getting a pair of TechAmphibians as a more durable/less stinky/wet pair of paddling sneakers.
Know people who love Keens though.Mar 13, 2012 at 2:13 pm #1853141

I use trail runners for paddling and chacos/flip flops for camp shoes. None of the portages are going to be over a mile (unless you are doing grand portage, and if you are, very tough!) so you won't have to worry about blisters. But the chances of you cutting your foot are great while portaging a canoe when you can't always look where you are stepping. I wear sandals most everywhere but in the boundary waters it's always long quick dry pants, long wool socks and trail runners.
Might want to bring an old pair because BWCAW really chews up some shoes.
One of my trip partners who has been going since birth wore solomon water shoes a couple years ago. They didn't dry that fast, they weren't as good on portages (letting in sticks/pebbles/sand/rocks) and they made her feet stink.
You would be fine with the water shoes, just don't know how superior they are to trail runners.Mar 13, 2012 at 2:29 pm #1853149

I haven't been to boundry waters, but I like both your footwear options. I would bring both if that is the question. I like having the option to put on light boots for long tough portages. I like having protection for my feet more than open toe sandals getting in and out of the boat, since cutting your feet is more of an issue then wetness in the boat IMO.Mar 13, 2012 at 3:24 pm #1853181

Teva sandals rock!
-Easily adjustable for wearing thick socks in camp
-If you hike in trail runners, the tevas are barely a step down in comfort
-They dry quickly
-If you dont wear socks in the canoe you will get the sweet teva tan
-They are very cost effective
I had a pair last 5+ years and thats with about 15 trips to the boundary waters and a few long river trips.Mar 13, 2012 at 3:42 pm #1853196

I did two trips into BWCA years ago. If I were doing another I would take tight fitting water shoes and then trail runners to hike with. Some of the Portages were very mucky and you can easily loose a shoe. While I love my Tevas, the pair I have would be suspect in the deep muck.Mar 13, 2012 at 4:14 pm #1853216

For warm weather like you can expect Salomon Techamphibian shoes work well in the canoe, for wet foot landings and portages. I like to take spare (dry) shoes for camp too.
For shoulder season I like any kind of sneakers and rubber overboots (from Fleet Farm).Mar 13, 2012 at 5:53 pm #1853282

Call me crazy but I wear socks inside my watershoes. Sure they get wet but they help keep my feet from chaffing when the shoes inevitably get sand or mud inside them. I use cheap polyester socks from Wally World for this, no need to ruin good smartwool. I have some nasty socks at the end of the day but my feet are happier. I used this system on some nasty canoeing trips with good results. However I always kept dry shoes to change into for the prolong dry sections.Mar 13, 2012 at 5:53 pm #1853283

You may want to consider U.S. made military jungle boots.
>they are made with instep drain screens
>sel-draining Saran multi-layer mesh insoles are standard
>they dry relatively quickly (air moves in and out the drain holes and mesh insoles)
>the "Panama soles" are purpose made to release mud but give good traction
I've used them in Quebec's Kippawa Game Preserve, Ontario's French River and the Magnetawan River with good results.Mar 18, 2012 at 10:51 am #1855533

x2 on the Jungle Boots. They drain easy, offer a ton more support than sandals, and will keep your feet protected from all of the jagged rocks. I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to get through the mud up there with sandals on. When I went there a few years ago, someone had to be airlifted out of their because he cut his foot on a rock really badly. I used boots from a company called Altama. Great boots. I got mine for about $70, but I just looked on their website and they were on sale for $33. They have GREAT customer service.

Concerning sandals for portaging … that's a yes and a no. Depends on the route. There are heavily used routes where many of the portages are just half a step below sidewalks and then there are portages where every step is a foot/ankle/knee wrenching experience. My own preference is to have no exposed skin below ankles.
I often take sandals for camp shoes though.
What route do you have in mind?Mar 27, 2012 at 6:17 pm #1860230

I do most of my camping in the BWCA. One A teva style sandle really works well for portaging. Some folks use crocs. As long as they are not leather, they usually dry out. Most areas have the potential to be knee deep and you will be much less likely to dump a canoe loading/unloading if you are wearing something you can get wet and not care.
One year I tried water socks – seemed like there was not enough padding on the soles. Might consider that again since I've switched out to Five Fingers on the running side.
I pull out my trail runners after I make camp.Mar 27, 2012 at 7:12 pm #1860261

LL Beans are too hot and will take forever to dry if you get water in them. They have poor traction on wet granite.
Jungle Boots dry fast but have poor traction on wet granite. You will be slipping and sliding.
Chota Quetico Trekker better than jungle boots but dry a tad slower.
Merrell Amphibian's dry fast and have better traction but no ankle support.
I now use the OTB Abyss boot favored by the Navy Seals. Good ankle support and traction. Dries somewhere between jungle boots and Chota's. The multi-layer foot bed allows you to customize the fit depending on how thick your socks are.
I wear Crocs in camp and while swimming.
I am a wet footer and do not bother to try and keep my feet dry. I also prefer Smartwool socks because I believe they tend to be drier than other brands come morning.Mar 27, 2012 at 11:46 pm #1860348

I'm up there quite a bit. If I were in your shoes (yeeehaw puns!), I would find a relatively fast-drying hiking boot with good ankle support instead of one of your choices. In a normal August it's pretty dry and most portages aren't too bad but that's nothing a good storm wouldn't fix. We all know what a little rain can do to a hiking trail, now picture the worst of those with a canoe over your head. There is always a chance that a simple 40 rod portage could turn into a dirty, painful, wet, and grueling experience after rain. Unless you're lucky enough to use a kevlar canoe up there, most canoes aren't even close to being lightweight or easy to maneuver on most trails so in my opinion, ankle support and fast drying are the two important pieces. That said, I have friends who only wear sandals. I think they're nuts, but they also make it up there a dozen times per season, versus the four or so trips that I'll make per season.
Around camp what you wear isn't quite as important. I'd go with a decent sandal, but let's be realistic… You'll probably go barefoot if you wade into the water or if you take a casual paddle on the lake, "light hiking" after a full and exhausting day of paddling and portaging is normally defined as a trip between the fire pit and the latrine, and not that weight isn't important in the BWCA but it doesn't seem like you are hardcore ounce counting this time so unless it's significant by your own standards, weight shouldn't make or break this one particular decision. Keep it simple, relatively light, and keep it comfortable! Trail runners, water shoes, sandals, high heels, or whatever you prefer to wear while enjoying breathtaking scenery. If you do choose sandals, I don't see anything wrong with Chacos (I'm assuming you aren't considering flip flops by any manufacturer), but in my opinion Teva makes a better product. I've done weekend hikes in mine without issue and they'll work fine if you do find yourself with a spare day, some extra energy, and a trail nearby.
Have fun! Also, do you know which lake you'll be starting on?Mar 28, 2012 at 5:13 am #1860363

It's been awhile since I went, but I just wore my regular mid hieght light weight hiking boots. I had no issues and they worked good on the muddy/rooty portages. Take some fishing gear as it is some of the best fresh water fishing to be found. Also take a good rain suit as afternoon T-storms come up in a hurry.I spent a week in the Iron Lake area.

Opening statement:
"After watching the tape, Saturday was an ugly day. We had a lot of things go wrong and a lot of things that are correctable so we are excited to get to work on that and get ready to play Kentucky. Right now, we are a little fragile, a little beat up, a little undermanned. We have more in the training room than we have on the field but hopefully we can get some of them back by Wednesday and we'll be ready to go to work. I'm excited about the challenge and we are doing everything we possibly can to win football games. That's what we are doing, everything we possibly can. That's our plan and we hope we can win out."
On trying to get Zac Stacy back on the field: "It'll be difficult but I know that Zac is doing everything he possibly can to get ready. It's a very scary thing but thankfully it turned out to be a concussion. Obviously, Vanderbilt is just tremendous at taking every precaution they possibly can. I got to spend some time Saturday in the emergency room with his mom and brother. His brother was very upset to see him lying on the table but it was great to be able to comfort them a little bit. Our doctors were just outstanding."
On the injuries:
"This time of year this has become a regular thing for us. We have plans for it and are making preparations offensively to do things, from moving people over to possibly going empty with five wide receivers. We need to use the healthy people we have. We are going to find a way to move the ball, score points and win this game."
On Wesley Tate and the running situation: "He was in the training room and is a little stronger today. Whether he'll be able to give us something is yet to be seen but hopefully we'll know more Thursday. Kennard Reeves is healthy and I know he'll give it his all. We talked last week about the possibility of Eric Samuels or Micah Powell, who we converted over to running back a few weeks back. Reece Lovell is another guy that we hope can spell us here and there."
On if Florida's athleticism led to the punt blocks:
"It certainly can. If you are not doing what your supposed to do, then that's what happens. You can't go to sleep. We had two missed blocks and it resulted in two blocked punts. They also had a missed block that resulted in us getting a blocked punt. Unfortunately it happened at the wrong time of the game because we were playing extremely well defensively, getting after them. We made an error on the fake field goal and we think it could have been there. We have to go back to the drawing board and it's something that goes back to me. I don't shuck the responsibility. It's my job to make sure we practice it every day. Maybe we need to practice a little more."
On Walker May's injury:
"Not good. I don't know his status or whether he'll be able to go at all this week. He's pretty tender right now with a high ankle sprain. We already had Tim Fugger hurt going into the game but hopefully he'll be back full speed. Johnell [Thomas] has a ding in his neck but he's going to be fine. We were down to our third sub on the punt team because Walker and Johnell are our back-wall people. That was difficult but we'll be ready and prepare three or four more this week."
On if the offense will have to throw the ball more because of injuries:
"We might have to because when you don't have any running backs you may have to do that. We don't want to give too much away."
On John Cole and John Stokes getting Academic All-America honors:
"It's very important. We are very proud of our school here and very proud of our academics. We led the SEC again with 89 percent and we are disappointed. Quite frankly, my goal for the team is to have 100 percent graduation rate and I'm not afraid to reach for that high of a goal. Our goal is to lead the nation and we are usually in the top-five or so since we've been here. Hopefully we'll continue to do that but we also want to compete in the [SEC] East. If we can do that on a consistent basis then we will have a chance to play for it all one day."
On punter Richard Kent:
"We've been extremely pleased. He missed his mark a couple of times and was deep in it too. You look at all aspects and it starts with me. We weren't all on our P's and Q's there and I don't know if it was the excitement of playing the Gators or whatever, but we just didn't do what we had been doing and that was one of our solid points. We probably give up fewer yards returned than anyone. In particular against the young man on LSU who is one of the best in the country. That was disappointing for us."
On the recent success of playing in Lexington, Ky.:
"I don't know, it's kind of the like the Ole Miss deal. Sometimes you match up well with teams. Previously we had been matching up pretty good with people in our league and were competing and having the chance to win. As you see, we are rearranging offensively and trying to manage the clock a little better. We are trying to do that and are heading towards our plans for the future. We want to win now and that's our goal."
On Randall Cobb and Kentucky:
"I'm glad you asked that. I was talking and looking at some tape with our defensive staff and he might be the best all-around athlete in this league. He does everything; I think he holds for extra points. He does kickoff returns, punt returns, he's a wideout, quarterback and running back. He does everything in their Wildcat offense. We know he can throw the ball and we've seen him do that. [Mike] Hartline might be the most improved player in the SEC. What a good job he's done checking in and out of plays. He's getting them in the right offense. They have a good offensive line. They have a few sophomores in there and things look bright for them. I'm very proud of that staff, you know they have David Turner. He's worked here with us and I know him and got him his first job. I love him like a brother. To watch coach [Joker] Phillips in his first year trying to get bowl eligible. We hope we can make them squirm another week."
On playing two first-year head coaches in the next two weeks and sharing sentiments:
"Yes I can. What a great joy for me. I mean, after all the years I've worked at this to sit down in the seat. Unfortunately, they got the job at and earlier time than I did and have been able to make some changes that we haven't been able to make. We have to plan for the future and I'm excited about it. We want to win and give our fans something to cheer about and we've been able to do it here before."

Sweet Receives Acorn Award for Teaching Excellence
2005 Acorn Award recipient Dr. Charlie Sweet, interim chair of EKU's Department of English and Theatre with graduate student Marlowe Moore, who represented him with the award.
For the third time in 11 years, an EKU faculty member has earned the Acorn Award, presented by the Kentucky Advocates for Higher Education to the professor who best demonstrates excellence in service and commitment to students.
The 2005 Acorn Award winner is Dr. Charlie Sweet, Foundation professor and interim chair of EKU?s Department of English and Theatre.
Sweet joined the EKU English faculty in 1970, intending to stay only about five years.
?Nobody stays in the same job for 36 years if they don?t love their job,? Sweet said. ?The one thing that always stands out is at the graduation ceremonies when the president asks all the first generation college kids to stand. I came out of that idealistic ?60s generation that felt it could really make a difference.?
And make an impact he has ? not only on the lives of his students but also on his EKU colleagues and his profession.
?Simply put, Dr. Sweet is a students? teacher,? said Marlowe Moore, a graduate student in English/creative writing. ?What adds to Dr. Sweet?s uniqueness ? is his constant challenge to himself and to his students to strive for personal and professional growth.
?He truly likes to see his students succeed, and he consistently works to that end ? much to the benefit of the English Department and the entire university.?
At the same time he has drawn the best out of his students, he has helped countless colleagues improve their own teaching skills.
?He has personally observed the classes and mentored all of the new teachers in the department,? said Dr. Paula Kopacz, professor of English. ?He researched and devised an assessment rubric for these observations so that teaching became a professional skill in our department rather than merely a subjective opinion.
?He has set a standard of high teaching expectations for all of us, and has not left the classroom in order to raise the bar,? added Kopacz, who team-taught an American Literature course with Sweet. ?No one knows more than Dr. Sweet about gothic literary conventions and the history and analysis of the short story genre, but he doesn?t lecture students. He asks leading questions, phrased in such a way that students can answer them, and he draws out of them information they didn?t realize they had. It really is a marvelous gift.?
President Glasser said: ?Dr. Sweet is richly deserving of the Acorn Award because he demonstrates the very best in teaching, service and scholarship, and cares so deeply about his students and his work. He is known as an innovator and a teacher of boundless energy (and) he always seems to find the time to work with students in his office or mentor younger colleagues toward more effective teaching.
?He represents what is best about EKU and his profession," Glasser added, "and all of us feel a sense of pride that he has received such a prestigious honor.?
Sweet said he finds it difficult, if not impossible, to define his teaching style.
?I have been outside and inside so many boxes that I can only be descriptive,? he said.
One of the keys to his rapport with students is his mastery of pop culture. He cites as examples the television show ?24,? which uses ?the unity of time that Aristotle proposed,? and rap music, which ?has the basic rhyme scheme of Neoclassic poetry.
?While I am building from what they know to the great unknown, I am insinuating myself into their world in order to break down their preconceptions that college professors are the original Geek Squad.?
Sweet?s publications ?run the gamut from the creative to the critical, from the theoretical to precise analysis of particular works,? said his EKU colleague and long-time mystery writing partner, Dr. Hal Blythe, an Acorn Award recipient in 1996.
Sweet has more than 600 items in print, including nine books, with his 10th and 11th books in production, and ?stands at the cutting edge of so much teaching theory,? Blythe said. For example, Sweet created for New Forums Press a series of non-theoretical books offering practical teaching tips.
Under Sweet?s leadership, EKU has launched a low-residency Master of Fine Arts program in Creative Writing.
In addition to Sweet and Blythe, EKU health education professor Dr. Merita Thompson also earned an Acorn Award.
?The real strength of EKU is its dedicated faculty,? Sweet said. ?If a student goes to EKU, he or she has the potential to have a tenure-track professor in every course.?
Sweet received his bachelor?s degree from Washington & Lee University, and his master?s and doctoral degrees from Florida State University.

The Meeting I Didn't Get To
Tonight I learned that King George died when my friend Bruce was in kindergarten. Bruce and I learned lots of other things about each other as well. He was geeky kid, eats more than anyone he knows, and still has trouble sitting still. I wondered why someone who can't sit still would become a psychiatrist.
So once a year the shrinks sponsor an event to schmooze with the state legislators-- just a way to get acquainted, and we'd like our representatives to deal with relevant proposed legislation in a manner that helps mental health causes. It's a political action kind of thing, cocktails, appetizers, not much more. Last year I didn't go because of the lousy weather.
Last year I was a little smarter. This year, I set out in a car with Bruce, my friend, my driver for the night, and we had already called one doc who'd been sitting in traffic for hours. Still, we went. Election Day. The roads are a mess. We set out at 5:20....without traffic or ice, it's a 50 minute drive. We sat. We talked. We changed routes. We never got out of traffic. This was the perhaps the longest worst traffic of my life? It's midnight, and since 9 this morning I've been in a n outfit that constricts my breathing.
Okay, at 9:10 pm, we surrendered to gridlock, sitting with the engine off, the bump from behind of the car that slid into us, the calls to check in with other shrinks in gridlock. The first sight of food and we texted our Surrender, then pulled into Paul's Cafe. They'd stopped seating 10 minutes ago.
So here's my plug for Paul's Cafe-- they listened to my quick whine about 3 and a half hours in traffic (I tried hard to look pathetic), offered us any table, great service, delicious stuffed shrimp, a fine glass of wine. A Five-Star Shrink Rap review and we two shrinks even talked about the blog and podcast, even if Bruce is not a blogger, or even a wannabe blogger.
I didn't make the reception. I didn't make it to the meeting that followed. I did learn that the death of King George impacted a kindergarten child in the Bronx.
It could have been a lot worse.

Improving the Atmosphere: Tru-Align System
I have used Tru-Align for some time now and I couldn't be happier with the results. Prior to using this technology, retakes were often needed, images weren't as clear as I wanted them, and the radiation from the x-rays wasn't exactly where I wanted it.
Not all dentists use the reasonable means available to reduce the amount of radiation that takes place when it's time to perform an x-ray. Sure, everyone uses the lead bib to block radiation but it only does so much. Making sure radiation is handled correctly is important for everyone's health and has always had my full attention. In recent years, dental x-rays have been associated with the risk of developing meningioma, the most commonly diagnosed brain tumor in the country.
It is important that we take every precaution to ensure our patients' safety regarding radiation issues. I've done just that by using Tru-Align to eliminate any radiation problems that other dentists have experienced. My patients love how quick and efficient their x-rays have become. The images have never been clearer and had such a high image resolution.
The rectangular shape of the device, which reminds me of the radar guns you see police officers use to catch speedy drivers, has eliminated prior scatter radiation that would reflect back as noise. This often compromised the image quality and weakened the diagnostic quality. I've seen a 70% reduction in radiation exposure through Tru-Align. My main goal when I adopted this new technology was to reduce possible health risk and the lack of clarity of our x-ray results. Creating a safer atmosphere for my patients and improving the overall health risk associated with using radiation has never been easier because of Tru-Align.
Using Tru-Align has improved productivity around the office and has benefitted not only my patients' health, but my own. I enjoy how the beam detects the correct area and allows the scope to scan the designated area. Using radiation technology can be dangerous to anyone's health, but with Tru-Align I know I can trust the technology and its efficiency. This technology has helped to improve my practice and patient care tremendously and I recommend this to anyone who is looking to improve the quality and safety of their practice.
Dr. Angela Bateson, DDS has been practicing general dentistry in Findlay, Ohio since 1995. She strives to meet the needs of the dental community as a whole and provide them with exceptional dental care that can fit into their life style and budget. Learn more at http://www.batesondentistry.com/.

Our phone number remains the same. You can reach us at 855-IDI-XRAY.
Dr. Jeffrey Hoos recently appeared on WTNH to discuss x-rays and what can be done to reduce exposure. Find out how his office is using Tru-Align to reduce the exposure to his patients and staff.
Dr Larry Emmott writes about Tru-Align and the benefits of rectangular collimation.
To read the entire article, please go to the DentalCompare web site...
Digital imaging and rectangular collimation should be used to ensure that the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle can be maximized when taking bitewing radiographs in pediatric patients, according to a poster presentation at the American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology (AAOMR) annual meeting last month.
Read the entire article on the Dr Bicuspid website...
The American Thyroid Association is now recommending that thyroid collars be used for all dental x-rays, except when they interfere with the examination.
Tru-Align is the perfect compliment to a thyroid collar. By focusing the x-ray beam using rectangular collimation, Tru-Align reduces the exposure to your patients by 70%. More importantly, Tru-Align eliminates scatter radiation, ensuring that only the image receptor is exposed.
The media coverage of the study linking dental x-rays to benign meningioma brain tumors continues. The Economist has posted an article titled "Dental X-rays: Little and Not Often, Please".
Read the full article here.
While we know dental x-rays are safe, they can be made even better. Tru-Align reduces x-ray exposure by up to 70%, and eliminates harmful scatter radiation.
Do you have the Green Ring? If not, find out how Tru-Align can benefit doctors, staff, and patients by clicking here.
In this morning's News, you may have heard about a new study linking dental x-rays to an increased risk in developing eningioma brain tumors. Here's a sample of today's coverage:
News like this, and the extensive media coverage, may have you fearful and apprehensive about the dental x-rays you have made.
While we can't comment on the validity of the quoted study, we can tell you that dental x-rays are very safe, and there are ways and products to make them even safer. The Tru-Align laser-aligning collimator, a simple device that attaches to your dentist's x-ray machine, does just that by reducing your exposure to scatter ionizing radiation by up to 70%. Your dentist is very likely also using faster x-ray film or digital x-ray sensors; both require and use much less radiation. Your dentists may also use rectangular collimation, Thyroid collars and lead aprons for added protection.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hello! A new season is upon us and, though I'm ridiculously cold, I couldn't be happier. I love fall. This last month has been harvesting from the garden, touring, being sick, and getting the house ready for some winter nesting. It's been tumultuous in its seeming calm. It's kind of hard to believe so much happened in such a short amount of time. But it did and it was (mostly) good and here we ar…

Custom Cuts
Walk into a Marsh Meat Department and you'll find a wide selection of freshly cut meat, neatly displayed or packaged. Our butchers are professional meat cutters who have gone through rigorous training, starting as apprentices and working to become journeymen. Each butcher is expected to cut all meat precisely, within a 1/8 inch standard. The standard means that butchers will cut within 1/8 inch of the best spot for the cut. That's close to perfection.
Our butchers' knowledge and training equips them to slice more than 25 cuts of beef and 21 cuts of pork, as well as correctly handle other meats, such as veal, lamb and poultry. They can also grind a wide selection of meats.
Looking for something special or a new cut? Is the New York Strip or boneless rib eye steak not thick enough for your liking? Do you prefer a bone-in or boneless roast? Would you like a little more or less fat?
Just ask one of our trained butchers to tailor your cut to order. Marsh is committed to having butchers on staff to handle any of your custom cutting needs. As always, there is no additional charge.

O'Gara dumped to Irish bench
Veteran fly half Ronan O'Gara has been denied a run-on start in his 100th Test match for Ireland on Saturday night, having been dumped to the bench for the clash with the Wallabies.
Irish coach Declan Kidney has shown no sentimentality in selecting Jonathan Sexton ahead of O'Gara for the Lang Park clash.
Sexton was a stand-out in Ireland's 31-28 loss to New Zealand Maori last Friday, kicking eight from eight in a 25-point display in Rotorua.
O'Gara has played 99 Tests for Ireland but has also gained two extra caps for the British and Irish Lions.
Kidney has selected number eight Chris Henry to make his debut in an injury-hit back-row, while hooker Damien Varley and Rhys Ruddock are also set to gain their first caps off the bench.
Henry and Sexton are two of four players, along with inside centre Paddy Wallace and flanker Niall Ronan, who started against the Maori.
Ireland, to be captained by Brian O'Driscoll, have former Queensland prop Tom Court on the bench but there was no room for fellow ex-Reds forward Ed O'Donoghue.
Ireland: Rob Kearney, Tommy Bowe, Brian O'Driscoll (captain), Paddy Wallace, Andrew Trimble, Jonathan Sexton, Tomas O'Leary, Chris Henry, Shane Jennings, Niall Ronan, Mick O'Driscoll, Donncha O'Callaghan, Tony Buckley, Sean Cronin, Cian Healy.
Reserves: Damien Varley, Tom Court, Dan Tuohy, Rhys Ruddock, Eoin Reddan, Ronan O'Gara, Geordan Murphy.

Snake River Animal Shelter gets $40k donation
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - The Snake River Animal Shelter is extending thanks to one member of the Idaho Falls community, who shelter officials say put them a lot closer to their goal of building a new facility.
The donor's name is Bill Maeck, and he's no stranger to charity.
An entire building next to the Museum of Idaho is dedicated to the foundation named for Maeck's late wife.
"(The foundation) is mainly geared to helping young people get an education," Maeck said.
If you ask Maeck why he chose to donate $40,000 to build the Snake River Animal Shelter, his passion really comes out. He points straight to the dozens of ribbons and plaques which line his walls -- all awarded to his Labradors.
"I have an interest in dogs," Maeck said. "A longtime interest."
His interest still frolicks around in his back yard, in the form of Bucky the black Lab, and in the form of all dogs who get to play in the dog park -- also made possible by donations to the Snake River Animal Shelter.
"I was hoping to -- that it might be enough to get other people interested in supporting the shelter," Maeck said.
According to shelter president Sylvia Medina, Maeck's plan worked.
"That donation really just moves everything forward," Medina said. "(Maeck's) heart's in it, just like everyone else who's supported the shelter. It's the people's shelter -- for the animals. And he's really a big part of it for us."
Medina said the Snake River Animal Shelter is about $1.2 million short of its fundraising goal for that new shelter, which is expected to be built by next summer.
Maeck said he plans on giving the shelter even more money in the future.

Sun, 11 Nov 2012 10:02:47 -0500
I am not sure why you have decided to use stratification when your data is
longitudinal and treatment is time-varying? What would your rationale be for
that? A more sensible approach would be to use a marginal structural model
or g-computation. I suggest you read the references below.

inference in epidemiology. Epidemiol 2000;11:550?60.

Subject: st: propensity score analysis time-varying treatment
Hi all, I posted the below message awhile ago but didn't get any responses.
Any help at all would be much appreciated. thanks!
Dear Statalist,
I?m trying to determine the correct Stata code to conduct a propensity score
stratification analysis in a longitudinal dataset. My variable for the
treatment is time-varying, so some patients receive treatment at certain
time points but not others. I haven?t been successful at finding any
examples of Stata code online that are for longitudinal propensity scores.
Here is my proposed approach:
1. Estimate a random-intercept logistic regression model for the propensity
of treatment using xtlogit
2. Calculate the propensity score as follows:
predict prop_score
gen prop_score2 = exp(prop_score)/(1+exp(prop_score))
xtile ps_quintiles = prop_score2, nq(5)
tabulate ps_quintiles, ge(q)
3. Determine whether there is a treatment by propensity interaction
Here are a couple areas where I'm struggling:
4. I would like to determine the standardized difference in means to assess
whether balance is achieved. Does anyone have any sample Stata code relating
to this?
5. Does anyone have sample code to determine the average treatment effect
among the untreated?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you!!

I bought some men's white hankies from an op-shop, bleached them, and used some transfers from Sublime Stitching.
I'm pretty damn happy with how they came out! So was she.
Last weekend I had the chance to fly up to Darwin to see my family (and uber cute niece).
Whenever I go I always prepare myself for heat, humidity and limited shopping choices.
But this time was different!
Well, its still really hot and humid, but the shopping culture has changed dramatically since I was last there.
There's a shop called Vintage Twist that sells real vintage (I found a few 50s frocks) as well as Stop Staring and Bettie Page.
My standout favourite has to be Viva La Body. My sister insisted on taking me there before catching my flight and I'm really glad she did. I found this dress that looks really similar to a 1940's house dress (its called the Crawford).
|Belt, self-made. Scarf, op-shop. Necklace, op-shop.
1940's celluloid broch, Etsy. Shoes, Bleyer.
Pockets! Self covered buttons! And it goes great with my new Bleyer dancing shoes, courtesy of Cowboy for Xmas.
Spotlight currently has 30% off all fabrics at the moment, which meant I was able to splurge on some great feed-sack style prints.
My plans are (from the left): circle skirt, another Wearing History blouse, cute 1940's dress, maybe the Horrockses dress from V&A for the last one?
How did you spend your holidays? And have you nabbed any bargins?

The "Little Lion Man" singer and his "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" wife both wore big smiles as they made their first red carpet appearances as a married couple.
Drawing one of the most impressive guest lists of any event in recent memory, the Costume Institute Gala in New York City was the place to be on Monday night (May 7).
She has a big role in the extravagant affair, and Carey Mulligan was spotted arriving for the 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations' 2012 Costume Institute Gala in New York City on Monday (May 7).
The "Drive" darling turned heads as she passed through the Metropolitan Museum of Art venue while clad in a gorgeous black Stella McCartney dress adorned with a lacy texture.
Wedding bells were ringing today (April 21) as Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford tied the knot in Somerset, England in front of 100 of their closest friends.
