Nobody should feel depression. As a therapist who has also suffered from depression, I fully understand the difficulty it brings in ones life. I have therefore tremendous empathy for the client who struggles from depression, and will do whatever I can to help. I will work closely with your Psychiatrist, and if you don't have one, I will find one for you, so that if necessary we can apply therapy in conjunction of medication.

102 Browning Lane, Building C-5, Cherry Hill, New Jersey 08003
When you are feeling depressed, what you may not be aware of is the automatic, unconscious beliefs and thoughts you are having about yourself and your life that are causing you to feel this way. I take a unique approach to helping people separate their identity from their life circumstances. When you are able to see what is the really at the core of your depression, you can permanently change the way that you see yourself and your life.
Colleen Fitzpatrick, MSW, LCSW, CH, Counselor
278 Tuckerton Rd., Medford, New Jersey 08055
Do you feel frustrated, irritable or hopeless? These are signs of depression. We will work together to identify and analyze specific aspects of your life that may be causing you to be depressed. Once these areas are identified, we work together to build coping skills to manage your symptoms. Most of the time, we have these skills with in ourselves, and we simply need a skilled therapist to point them out and help activate them.

Dr Lodato has special techniques through hypnotherapy to help clients to overcome depression, including bi-polar type. This is done through behavior modification techniques. This is handled as an out-client therapy. Sometimes working with their doctors, when they are also in need of medication, special hypnotherapy cd's for depression for home use have been very effective and in most cases there are great results.
Ariel Stern, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
1500 Walnut Street Suite 700 North, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102
Depression can mean very different things for different people. My goal as a therapist is to help you understand the unique underlying cause(s) of your depression so that you can make lasting changes. I will use a combination of insight oriented, psycho-dynamic tools to help understand why your depression is occurring along with more interactive tools such as mindfulness and mind/body connection to support immediate relief from depressive symptoms.
Walter Matweychuk, Ph.D.
Licensed Psychologist
Medical Arts Building, 1601 Walnut Street, Suite 401, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102
My approach attacks depression by quickly focusing in on the primary cause of depression. I show people how their current beliefs about their adversities, past and present, are the primary cause of depression. I teach people how it is well within their power to adopt, without delay, alternative beliefs that help them cope with and prevail over these adversities. I also show my patient how to feel worthwhile and adequate even if she is depressed and performing poorly in life. Often self-downing goes with feelings of depression and makes for depression over being depressed. REBT tackles the rut of depression by attacking both the original and the secondary feelings of depression.
Jennifer Bullock, M.Ed, M.L.S.P., LPC
Licensed Profesional Counselor
245 South 16th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19102
As a group therapist, I help clients suffering from depression to share their pain and internal dialogues which keep people feeling isolated and hopeless, with the team / group model depressed clients break out of their own internal trap of sadness, desperation as they share and work as part of a team with others who are caring for them. We help people get out of their head and into the world and for folks suffering from depression getting out of their heads is critical for moving forward and getting unstuck.
Danielle Adinolfi, MFT, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist
100 S Broad Street, Suite 1304, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19110
One of my clients once explained her depression to me as falling down a well and being stuck at the bottom. People would tell her to get over it, feel better, etc., but she believed that being stuck at the bottom of the well was an impossible situation to get out of. It is that sort of dismissal that leaves people feeling isolated and alone with their depression. In therapy, I will help you find a way to climb out, without the pressure of someone telling you to simply "get over it." We will take our sessions at whatever pace you are comfortable with.

Many things can cause depression so Susan assesses carefully to discover contributing factors. Susan provides support and guidance to help you find your own customized treatment approach.

Susan is supportive of your choices regarding pharmaceuticals, herbs, amino acids, or nutraceuticals that support neurotransmitter balance in the brain.

Jay Jemail, Ph.D.
Licensed Psychologist
5829 Kennett Pike, Wilmington, Delaware 19807
Dr. Jemail's approach to depression begins with a through assessment of its history-family roots, biological predispositions, patterns, medical and endocronological needs, experience of attachment, loss, and response to stress or change. Depression has medical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions. To address depression sometimes therapy has to explore how changes of life style impact the patient and their quality of life. There are degrees of depression and it is important to determine where this fits in the developmental life of the depressed person. Recent research suggests that approaching depression from a medical model is not enough, a multidimensional approach is best.

10 Small Businesses That Will Probably Exist In A Decade
So many possibilities. And with OPEN Forum, you'll have access to an advice-sharing community where business owners exchange experiences and insights to help move your business forward.
Smart glasses like Google Glass will need equally smart repairmen and women. And with anyone being able to wear digital eyewear—not just the visually impaired—the opportunities are endless.
Printing is leaping off of the page and changing the world in big, big ways. And yes, they even made feet for disabled ducks.
Even outer space needs an official outfitter. People are signing up for a reality show on Mars and theorizing ways of colonizing the moon. They certainly won't be caught in anything from last season once they finally exit Earth's atmosphere.
Clothing stores may go clothing optional. As online sales of apparel continue to grow, the brick-and-mortar spaces may use digital fitting rooms and augmented reality to create an experience that feels like a real-life catalogue.
More apps, more problems. Asking if too much technology is bad hasn't stopped us from making more of it. Experts at managing the tech in our daily lives may prove useful.
Everyone has regrettable Snapchats. In the future, it's not too much of a stretch to imagine specialists who are masters at clearing our digital missteps.
Bring on the healthy. Fast food joints and hotels are serving food that's better for you, and it's clear that there will always be a taste for food that's equally healthy and tasty.
Holograms: not just for news networks and science fiction. As the technology decreases in price, the everyday uses will become infinitely more possible.
Fill 'em up (with volts, thank you very much). Our need for charging stations will only increase more as electric cars become more commonplace and popular.
Printed books may fade into extinction. But that won't stop someone from putting them in a museum-like space for us all to enjoy.

Chicago Bears safety Chris Harris is requesting a trade after being benched for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Harris' agent, Albert Elias, says the Bears have granted him permission to seek a deal. He says Harris wants "to help somebody win."
He didn't have any concrete offers by midday Monday because he had just received the OK from Chicago. He says there won't be a trade unless it's "a win-win for (general manager Jerry Angelo) and Chris."
Harris, in his second stint with the Bears, was inactive for Chicago's 39-10 victory over the Vikings after struggling in a loss at Detroit last week. Before that, he missed three games with a hamstring injury.

100 Favorite Dishes: Chile relleno from La Fiesta
The eggroll-style chile relleno smothered in green at La Fiesta
As a countdown to the Best of Denver 2010, coming April 1, Cafe Society is serving up a hundred of our favorite dishes in Denver. Send your own nominations to email@example.com.
Number 89: Chile Relleno from La Fiesta
Forty years ago, La Fiesta moved into an old Safeway building in Curtis Park and started serving up its own interpretation of only-in-Colorado Mexican fare. Today, the restaurant at 2340 Champa Street is just open for weekday lunch (and Friday happy hour) -- and the faithful flock to its cavernous confines for the tacos, burritos and regular specials.
But by far the most popular dish is the chile relleno, with plenty of cheese inside a chile inside an egg-roll style wrapper that's fried until the outside is crisp and the cheese is molten, then smothered with one of the hottest green chiles in town.
Fry me to the moon.

Pirates notebook: Martin stands up for pitcher, gets ejected
• Catcher Russell Martin knows people will wonder how he could get ejected from a spring training game. "I treat it like it was a regular-season game in my intensity and how I go about it," Martin said. In the top of the first inning, Martin thought umpire Chad Fairchild was squeezing the strike zone against Pirates pitcher Chris Leroux, who gave up eight runs, five hits and two walks. Martin made what he admitted was an angry remark, and Fairchild gave him the boot.
• Making an emergency start after Jeff Karstens was scratched, Leroux got one out and gave up eight runs. "Probably the worst inning I've ever had," Leroux said. "Let's all be happy it was in spring training. I've been sharp up to this point."
• Brandon Inge (sore shoulder) is slated to start at first base Monday against Tampa Bay. It will be Inge's first game since Wednesday.
• Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl attended the game.
• With unseasonably cold weather in the forecast, Pirates starters likely will make quick exits from the scrimmage Saturday in Altoona. "We certainly want to honor the exhibition game for the 10,000 fans who've purchased tickets," GM Neal Huntington said. "At the same time, we want to make sure we're ready to go April 1. In most exhibition games, starters don't play the whole game, anyway."
• The Pirates and Chicago Cubs will work out at PNC Park on March 31, the day before the season opener. The workouts are not open to the public.

Hello. Brand new to the forum.
Im interested in buying a gun for personal protection/concealed carry.
I have been concidering the two following:
Springfield Arms XD Sub-Compact .40 S&W
Taurus Millennium Pro Compact .40 or .45 ACP. (suggestions?)
I want a short barrel (less than 3.5), both fit that.
Taurus lacks the palm pressure switch, the lower rail, some weight and the heafty price tag of the XD. But the XD can hold more rounds (with ext grip) and has the good palm pressure switch.
At first glance it appears that the XD is the clear winner BUT It doesnt come in a .45 acp which would be my preferred round, its 8-12 oz heavier, and $200 more.
Before making a purchase I will try to find someone to let me shoot their's and or rent one of each to shoot but I would like to kinda compare them on paper before actually trying to find a particular gun.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. If you know of a alternate in .45 acp, with 3.5" or less barrel, holds 9+ rounds feel free to suggest some. If i get .40 it will be the XD more than likely but the .45 im a little more open to suggestions.

CLEVELAND: It's no longer news that Grady Sizemore needs arthroscopic surgery to clean out the inflammation beneath the lining of the left elbow.
But it came as a surprise Friday to learn that Sizemore also will undergo an operation for a condition known as athletic pubalgia.
""It's called a sports hernia, but it's not really a hernia,'' Indians head trainer Lonnie Soloff said. ""It's an instability of the abdominal wall, and has been causing Grady symptoms.''
The ailment is common among hockey, soccer and baseball players, and also is seen frequently in individuals who play recreational sports. [ep
Soloff said the surgery is not considered serious and takes only 30 minutes. It will be performed by Dr. Bill Meyers in Philadelphia, whom Sizemore visited last weekend when the Tribe played the Orioles in Baltimore. Meyers made the diagnosis. [ep
Sizemore's operations are not expected to affect his readiness for spring training. But inasmuch as both the elbow and groin injuries have bothered Sizemore since spring training, why wait until now? [ep
""His (elbow) symptoms haven't really changed since he was activated from the DL,'' Soloff said. ""This is more of a decision based on the time of the season. Having it now means his off-season program will be unrestricted. He usually starts it in early November.'' [ep
Another factor: Sizemore wanted to keep playing. [ep
""It was tough (to play), but I knew going into the season it might be,'' he said. ""I would like to be injury free, but sometimes you play with injuries. Before the season, I didn't know how it would affect me. And it never got to the point where I couldn't compete.'' [ep
However, Sizemore spent time on the disabled list and his numbers suffered. He carries a batting average of .248 with 18 home runs, 64 RBI, 73 runs and 13 steals, all below the norm for him. [ep
Sizemore's surgical schedule is busy, but the recovery time should be relatively brief. Dr. Mark Schickendantz will perform the operation on Sizemore's elbow next week at the Cleveland Clinic. About seven days later, Meyers will repair Sizemore's abdomen. [ep
Four to six weeks after the doctors have done their jobs, Sizemore is expected to begin his normal off-season conditioning routine in Goodyear, Ariz. (20 miles from his home), and long before spring training begins in February, he should be 100 percent. [ep
After the operations, Sizemore will remain in Cleveland for rehab until the end of the season. [ep
Even though he felt some effects of the ailments in spring training, he didn't reveal them to anyone. [ep
""It was a progressive thing starting in spring training,'' Soloff said. ""He didn't say anything about it until early May. It was just something he worked through himself.''
THE NEXT MOVE -- Now that Grady Sizemore is out for the season, who will play center field and bat in the leadoff spot? [ep
""We're activating Trevor Crowe (strained oblique) today,'' manager Eric Wedge said Friday. ""Crowe and Michael Brantley are the two guys that will be out there. Both have played center quite a bit.'' [ep
Brantley has played mostly left and center in the minors. Crowe has played all three outfield positions. [ep
""I haven't seen enough of them to know which is their best position,'' Wedge said. [ep
Brantley batted at the top of the order Friday night against the Twins. Apparently, he will be Wedge's choice to hit in that spot most of the time. [ep
""This is a good opportunity for him to bat leadoff,'' the manager said. ""But that doesn't mean it will be every night. If Crowe hadn't been on the DL, he might be up there. He still might be.'' [ep
Asdrubal Cabrera also could make appearances as the leadoff hitter. [ep
ANOTHER CHANCE -- Left-hander Mike Gosling was called up from Columbus Friday and will take his place as the 10th member of the Tribe bullpen. [ep
Gosling was signed to a minor-league contract June 5 and promoted to the big leagues June 19. In six weeks with the club, he made seven appearances, compiling a 6.75 earned-run average in 12 innings. [ep
After being outrighted to Triple-A, Gosling posted an 0-3 record and 6.66 ERA in 241/3 innings in five appearances, including four starts. [ep
Why is he here? [ep
""Just to make sure we have enough depth, as we work through September,'' Wedge said. ""He gives us some length.'' [ep
NOT FINISHED -- Gosling's call-up does not signal the end of the promotions from Triple-A to Cleveland. [ep
""We'll probably call up a couple other guys,'' Wedge said. [ep
That probably won't happen until Columbus ends its season on Monday. [ep
FARM FACTS -- Chuck Lofgren (6-10, 5.31 ERA) gave up three runs in six innings, but Columbus lost 4-2 to Toledo. *elip Russell Young yielded two runs and five hits in seven innings, but Kinston lost to Frederick 3-2 in 12 innings. *elip Third Lonnie Chisenhall, second baseman Cord Phelps and outfielder Tim Fedroff have been selected for the Carolina League end of year All-Star Team. All play for Kinston, except Chisenhall, who was promoted to Akron. [ep

GQ Magazine Unveils "100 Sexiest Women of the Millennium" List
Posted Wednesday January 16, 2013 11:05 AM GMT
It's no secret that Tinseltown is brimming over with uber-desirable dames, and GQ magazine names their picks for the 100 Sexiest Women of the Millennium in their February 2013 issue.
The popular men's publication is said to have thoroughly examined the past thirteen years' worth of stunners to come up with their selections, and Beyoncé Knowles tops the chart as "Miss Millenium."
From there, ladies like "Mad Men" starlet Christina Hendricks and "Sin City" cutie Jessica Alba also made the cut.
And for all the geeks out there, Zooey Deschanel and Allison Brie have honorable mentions, as do 48-year-old Marisa Tomei and curvaceous temptress Kate Upton.

I have a Smith & Wesson Model 910 9mm Auto.
I have been reading a lot of data concerning what grain bullet is best for a 9mm and I have heard most people say that 124 grain HP is the way to go.
I have also been told by a number of people that 147 grain HP hits much harder.
I have seen that 147 has deeper pentitration in gelatin and expands just a bit less than the 124.
And then, I noticed that all the data is given for muzzle/25 yards & 50 yards.
If I am not mistaken, for home protection, i dont think i have a room in my house that is 25 yards long, let alone 50 yards.
I am seeing also that most confrontations happen at 21 feet or less.
If this is so, then wouldnt it make more sense to use the heavier grain 147?
I am fairly new to handguns and want to use the best self defense/home defense ammo.
Also, what are the recoil differences and which is louder between the two grains.
Can you please help me make up my mind about this subject?
Thanks in advance for all you input it is greatly appreciated,

Serving Size: 8
Preparation Time: 1:00
Serves a party of eight. This can be flamed and carved at table side. If so, you will need more Jack Daniels. This is what I believe Roy Andres de Groot would call "La cuisine ancien -nouvelle," the old new cooking style. or: make scrambled eggs with morels.
*Glace de viand is concentrated meat essence, made by reducing a stock to 1/10th of its original volume. When added to pan deglazing liquids it makes a richly flavored glaze or sauce for the dish.
Suggested Wine: Your best Cabernet
Serving Ideas: Flame and Carve at Table side
Notes: Originally written as a response to "What can I do with morels?" The last line is a takeoff on a joke recipe called Oysters a la Bezique, in which a terribly elaborate and formal recipe (a thrush within a lark..) was set down, and the last line was, "or eat oysters with cracked pepper and a sprinkle of wine vinegar." The point being, of course, that when you have something with a fine natural flavor, a simple preparation is as good, or better than an elaborate one. I can tell you that I served this as my signature dish at many dinners for chefs and they cleaned the plates. An oxtail consomme is the perfect soup to serve with it.

By Joe Brewin
Arsène Wenger says a lack of desire was not behind Arsenal's failure to win at Olympiacos on Tuesday night.
A young Arsenal side went down 3-1 to the Greek champions in their final Group F fixture, with their status as group winners already secured.
But Wenger insists Olympiacos did not 'want it' more than his side, citing the defeat as a valuable learning experience.
"I didn't feel as though we lacked motivation, I just felt that we missed some early chances that made it a very physical game," he told Arsenal Player.
"Overall I believe it was a good learning process for the younger players because it was a real battle more than a technical game and we lost it.
"I didn't feel it was a lack of motivation. We wanted to win but you have seen with other results that it is difficult to win away from home.
"At 2-1, I hoped that we could come back to 2-2 but we lost a goal in the end. Overall I cannot say that the motivation was missed, a bit of experience in midfield maybe."
You can watch the full interview with the boss on Arsenal Player.

Re "Lee backs out of immigration compromise" (Tribune, Jan. 29):
Sen. Mike Lee has no heart. And not much of a brain.
He has no heart because he still refuses to support the DREAM Act and allow legal status for children of undocumented workers people who had no choice in coming here and for whom this is their only country and who deserve an education and a feeling of security a future.
Lee has no brain because he opposes a bipartisan proposal by senators that would provide a path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants here. It's a no-brainer because those people aren't going anywhere, and America is safer and better and stronger when we know who resides within our borders and they are contributing citizens.
It's the difference between Jean Valjean in "Les Misérables" being a mayor and productive businessman and being on the lam. Plus, there is no viable alternative to a pathway to citizenship; more of the same is not a good option.
Lee may have no heart or brain, but he's got plenty of nerve.

Former Scottish Liberal party leader Lord Russell-Johnston died last night in Paris on the eve of his 76th birthday.
The life peer had been diagnosed with bone marrow cancer earlier this year. Liberal Democrat party leader Nick Clegg last night paid tribute to him as "an institution in his own right".
Born and educated on the Isle of Skye, Russell-Johnston worked as a teacher before becoming an MP and represented Inverness for 33 years. During his years in parliament he spoke extensively on European affairs. His interest in the difficulties faced by blind people led to him being parliamentary representative for the RNIB for 20 years.
He led the Scottish Liberal party for 14 years from 1974 and from 1988 to 1992 was deputy leader of the UK Liberal Democrats.
As Russell Johnston, he stood twice for the European parliament, and was a high-profile member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and of the Western European Union, serving on the defence, parliamentary and public relations committees of the latter.
Clegg said that the peer had been a "Liberal to his fingertips", adding: "He will be sorely missed not only by friends, family and colleagues in the UK but by all those countless people whose lives he touched throughout Europe."
Former party leader Sir Menzies Campbell said: "Scottish and European politics have lost a man of integrity and wisdom."
Russell-Johnston, who was made a life peer in 1997, leaves a wife, Joan, and three sons, Graham, David and Andrew.
The current Liberal Democrat MP for Inverness, Danny Alexander, said: "He was an immense servant and iconic figure in the area during his 33 years as an MP. As I know from personal experience, he touched the lives of many constituents. He was a committed European."

Maybe the government should just outlaw alcohol, oh wait we tried that already. Here in CO bars are not off limits and I don't remember any shootouts between CCW permit holders. I guess you shouldn't start any fights if you are in a bar. I've never had a bar fight nor have I witnessed one. I don't go to very many rough bars and lately I don't go to bars except country dance places. They never seem to had trouble or I seem to miss the action.
So if someone is choking you to death, that's not a threat? I guess it depends on how big he is versus you and how close to death you are.

Billions of years ago, when early life was just taking hold on Earth, Mars was home to an ancient lake filled with the right chemical ingredients for life to thrive, scientists said Monday.
Drilling into dry rock, NASA's Curiosity rover has discovered signs that Gale Crater was once watery, perhaps ringed with ice and snow, and could have hosted an entire Martian biosphere based on a type of microbe found in caves on Earth. These primitive organisms, called chemolithoautotrophs, feed on chemicals found in rocks and make their own energy.
"Ancient Mars was more habitable than we imagined," said California Institute of Technology geologist John Grotzinger, lead scientist for the Curiosity mission. This wet, potentially Earth-like environment could have lasted for tens of millions of years, giving life a wide-open window to emerge.

BREAKING NEWS: College Football Fans Like To Eat Posted by: Aaron Stearns | 0 Comments
Of course, that is not really news to anyone living below the Mason-Dixon line. We all know fans who happily bleed orange and blue or red and black. Some even bleed purple and gold. But the one thing we all have in common is our love of good food, and maybe even a beverage or two before the big game.
Tailgating is serious business in the South. Anyone who's been to the Grove before an Ole Miss game can heartily testify. Whether you're looking to go all out with chandeliers in your tent or just park a good ole Weber grill at the back of your truck, we hope these recipes will inspire you to try something new before your next home game. After all, it's not whether your team wins or loses, but how well you eat.
Bacon Takes a Dip
Our love of pork is legendary in the South. Some of us have been known to make emergency trips to Allan Benton's place in East Tennessee when the larder runs low. Why not give the bacon its due and make it the star attraction?
2-lbs thick-sliced bacon (preferable Benton's), sliced in half to double your servings
PRE-GAME Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2) Place strips of bacon on the rack of a broiling pan. Place pan in the preheated oven and reduce heat to 300 degrees. Continue cooking until bacon browns and begins to get crisp, about 15 to 20 minutes. Careful not to overcook. Remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil. Pack in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3) Prepare the following dips and pack in airtight Mason jars for travel.
GAME DAY: Place the bacon in half-pint Mason jars tied with raffia or ribbons the color of your home team. Guests can enjoy the bacon "straight" or with a dollop of any of the following dips:
- Honeyed Peanut Butter with Sea Salt: Mix ¼ cup of your favorite local honey with an 18-ounce jar of natural peanut butter (we love the fresh grinders available at most Whole Foods Markets). Stir to combine and pour into a Mason jar; seal tightly with a lid to transport to the tailgate party. Just pop the top at the party to serve. Fill a pretty shaker with sea salt and encourage your guests to add a light sprinkle to the honeyed peanut butter bacon. We call this 'gilding the lily.'
- Fig Preserves: This is the perfect time to pull out some of those fig preserves you labored to put up earlier this summer. Oh, you forgot to do that? No worries—there are plenty of commercial brands we like that would work well. Just transfer your favorite kind to a Mason jar and seal for travelling and serving.
- Pimiento Cheese: The creamy texture of classic pimiento cheese is a natural foil to the chew of great bacon. You can make your own or pick some up and serve out of Mason jars.
Corn Chowder Shooters
The perfect tailgate includes foods that are easy to eat. They should also be substantial enough to see your guests through halftime. Serve this corn chowder warm, not scalding hot, in shooter-style cups to fit the bill nicely.
4 tablespoons butter
1 ½ cups minced yellow onions
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced carrot
7 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed and drained
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
6 cups good-quality chicken stock or low-sodium broth
1 cup half-and-half
Garnish: chopped red bell pepper, minced roasted poblano pepper, chopped bacon, minced chives.
PRE-GAME Directions:
1) Melt butter in large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, carrot and celery and sauté 3 minutes.
2) Add 5 cups corn and thyme and sauté 2 minutes. Add stock and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered until vegetables are tender and liquid is slightly reduced, about 30 minutes.
3) Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender. Return soup to pot. Mix in half-and-half and remaining 2 cups corn. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate if not serving promptly.
GAME DAY: Pack hot soup in a large insulated container for travel. Serve in small, heat-proof cups and let your guests garnish as desired.
Bloody Mary Pork Loin Kabobs
Who can resist food on stick? No one we know. When you realize you've forgotten the utensils at home, you'll be glad this is one item that doesn't require a knife and fork.
1 pork loin, about 5 pounds, trimmed of excess fat
1 bottle (32-ounce) bloody Mary mix (we love Not Yo Mamas)
24 small (1-inch) white potatoes
2 large bell peppers (red, green, yellow—any color will work here)
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 package 6- or 8-inch bamboo skewers
PRE-GAME Directions:
1) Cut the pork loin into 1-inch cubes. Add to a large heavy-duty zip-top bag. Pour bloody Mary mix over pork, remove any air from the bag and zip to seal. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
2) Add the potatoes to a large pot of cold water, making sure they are covered with at least an inch of water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. (Potatoes should not be mushy as they will continue to cook on the grill on game day.) Drain the potatoes and let cool.
3) Cut peppers into 1-inch pieces. Add to a separate zip-top bag and add olive oil, salt and pepper. Add cooled potatoes and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
4) Fill a third zip-top bag with ¼ cup water and the bamboo skewers. Remove excess air, zip and pack for the party. Thoroughly wet skewers will prevent grilltop flare-ups.
GAME DAY: While the grill gets hot, remove the skewers from the bag. Thread each skewer with pork, potato and bell pepper, alternating each ingredient. Discard marinade. Cook over medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 155 degrees. Remove the skewers to a serving platter and tent with foil until you are ready to serve.
"Candied" Apples
Still hungry? Maybe all you need is a little something sweet to nibble on before you head into the stadium. This one will even travel well if you prefer to snack after singing the team's fight song.
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon dry pumpkin pie spice
Honeycrisp apples, sliced just before serving
PRE-GAME Directions:
1) Combine the first three ingredients in a medium bowl. Use a hand-mixer to mix thoroughly; the result should look slightly whipped. Transfer to a short Mason jar, seal and refrigerate until ready to serve.
GAME DAY: Arrange the sliced apples on a plate and let guests dip in the prepared cream cheese. Remember, no double-dipping allowed!

"Many articles have recently appeared in the press concerning libel tourism and the effects of current libel law and the costs regime," writes Lord Justice Jackson. "I am not aware of any comparable papers in defence of the status quo by those who act for claimants." But don't worry, he's here to redress the balance. In the section of his new, and very weighty report (pdf - warning, large file) into legal costs concerned with libel he makes a number of recommendations. The most striking is that, instead of the lawyers for people who win libel actions being able to claim cost bonuses from the defeated party, all defendants should have to pay their own costs. In effect, Jackson wants to shift the costs burden from the libeller to the wrongly sued. His reforms would benefit unsuccessful defendants - those found to have actually libelled someone, in other words - at the expense of those who have been able to show that they have done nothing wrong.
This is supposedly in the interests of justice.
I've been studying the chapter in question. While there is a glancing reference to the defendant's ability to pay (as one of several factors a judge should consider when awarding costs) Jackson's scheme would appear to be bad news for anyone who finds themselves slapped by a writ for libel - but worst of all for those able and willing to put up a strong defence. They will still have the opportunity to set the record straight and defend both their reputation and (as may be) the public interest - but it will come at a heavy price, a price few may be willing to bear.
Such a system would have profound implications for cases such as that of Simon Singh. Even at present, a defendant who succeeds in disproving an allegation of libel is able to recover only a proportion of his costs. Under the Jackson proposal, even this much will be denied him. Someone who finds themselves sued, in a case without merit or where a matter of genuine public interest is involved, would face being taken to the cleaners financially for merely wishing to assert their right to speak and write freely. Obviously, anyone bringing an oppressive and groundless suit runs a risk of losing the case and being clobbered for costs. They may, however - especially if they are wealthy and the defendant is a lone journalist, an independent blogger or a small, privately-owned magazine - calculate that the defendant will be unable to cover their costs and thus be forced to settle out of court.
Jackson's proposal is, bluntly, a bully's charter.
How did this senior judge arrive at what will seem to many people an utterly perverse outcome? Part of the answer lies in the nature of the report itself. For a start, it's very long - almost 600 pages - and most of it has nothing whatever to do with libel law. The particular issues raised by defamation, in particular the need to protect legitimate free expression and allow information in the public interest to reach the public, are alluded to only in passing. In wishing to restrain costs by doing away with "success fees", he echoes the recommendations of the English PEN/Index on Censorship report "Free Speech is not for Sale". But this seems to be largely coincidental, part of his larger scheme to bring greater consistency to the whole area of civil court costs. And by seeking to impose greater costs on innocent and vindicated defendants he negates the entire case for libel reform.
His excuse is that the wider principle did not fall within his terms of reference. "I am solely concerned with the costs of litigating defamation and related cases," he insists. This is worse than a cop-out, however. It is impossible to separate the issue of costs from the other issues raised by the Libel Reform campaign, since the prohibitive cost of defending a defamation suit is the main reason why the bullying tactics of the rich and powerful so often go unchallenged. By treating libel as essentially similar to claims of negligence he spectacularly misses the point.
Jackson, it is clear, has a particular sort of claim in mind: that of an ordinary citizen who is libelled or has had their privacy invaded by a national newspaper, backed by an in-house legal staff and with the resources to hire the most fashionable QCs. He writes that "in the paradigm libel case the claimant is an individual of modest means and the defendant is a well resourced media organisation." For this reason, he argues that in most cases there are "strong policy reasons why the claimant should be protected against liability for adverse costs."
It's unclear (to me at least) why he takes this to be the paradigm. Certainly, individuals of modest means are defamed (or have their privacy invaded) on a fairly regular basis by newspapers. But such cases rarely result in libel proceedings. They are referred, instead, to the Press Complaints Commission, an imperfect body but not an entirely useless one, or (where broadcasters are involved) to the rather toothier Ofcom.
Unless Jackson wants to encourage greater use of the libel courts - a solution which would certainly result in more work for defamation lawyers, but has few other obvious benefits - it's hard to see why he should be raising such cases at all in his report. If there is indeed a "paradigm" of libel, it generally involves a wealthy individual or a large corporation suing a news organisation - which may be News International but is just as likely to be Private Eye. In such cases it is far from clear that a large "disparity of arms" exists between the parties - or, where it does, that the disparity favours the defendant, as Jackson seems bizarrely convinced.
Jackson also ignores the increasing number of cases where individual journalists - or even scientific researcher or private campaigners, like the McLibel Two - are targeted for defamation suits by large corporations.
Perhaps he has been swayed by some of the submissions he received in the course of his inquiry. For example, he quotes evidence he received from "one firm of claimant solicitors" - the firm is unnamed, but I note that Schillings appears in the Appendix list of those making submissions, and Carter-Ruck doesn't. The anonymous firm (who may, for all I know, not be Schillings at all) pointed to "a huge inequality of arms between media defendants and individual claimants". The firm opposed any extension of costs capping. They also proposed that "there should be a change in the substantive law in order to determine the legality of articles or statements before they are published." Prior restraint, in other words - and not just in cases where privacy is at issue (as Max Mosley is going to Strasbourg about) but, apparently, in libel cases too, where injunctions are not currently available "where the defendant avers that the allegation is true."
Reading the report, it's hard to escape the conclusion that Jackson has paid the arguments of those supporting claimaints far closer and more sympathetic attention than those on behalf of defendants. He quotes approvingly from a Law Society submission that "it is important not to attach unnecessary emphasis to the arguments of the media defendants, given their "disproportionate voice"." In one especially glaring paragraph, he sees the need to answer criticism that his suggested changes would leave claimants in a less advantageous position vis-a-vis defendants that they currently enjoy. On the contrary, he writes,
In overseas jurisdictions the fact that success fees cannot be recovered from defendants is not perceived as constituting a barrier to access to justice. Indeed, under the overall package that I propose for defamation and privacy cases, claimants will be much more generously treated in England and Wales than in they are in any other jurisdiction which I have researched.
He seems to think that this is a good thing. And it is, of course, if you assume that defendants are all big, bad media conglomerates and claimants are all unfairly defamed shopkeepers.
In another passage, he suggests that libel damages should be made higher to compensate clients (or more precisely their lawyers) for the loss of victory bonus fees:
In chapter 9 above I have recommended that general damages for personal injuries should be increased by 10%. Defamation and breach of privacy damages are less precisely calibrated than personal injury damages. I recommend that the ceiling for damages in this area be increased and that courts should have regard to this higher ceiling in the case of serious libel or slander. The general level of damages for defamation and breach of privacy should be increased by 10% as from the date when CFA success fees cease to be recoverable.
One looks in vain for such tender concern for defendants. Clearly Jackson is unable to see beyond the "paradigm case" that he identified, and that he appears to believe is the only situation worthy of his consideration.
Jackson also celebrates the fact that "the parties to these cases generally have the benefit of specialist judges" - in other words, libel judges are invariably former libel lawyers, who specialise in the technicalities of this area of the law and have in the past demonstrated precious little regard for freedom of expression. Such complacency, no doubt, leads him to hope that in future libel cases will become judge-only: a development that would further distance the defence of reputation from any notion of public accountability.
Of course, this is a report about costs, not about the burden of proof in libel cases, protecting free speech under article 1o of the European Convention or the possible creation of a public interest defence (for example in cases involving science or health). If significant changes were made in these areas then Jackson's scheme might be less dangerous. For Lord Justice J, though, libel does not constitute a special case. He doesn't even consider the wider social implications of making it even more difficult and expensive for the likes of Simon Singh or Peter Wilmshurst to defend themselves against attempts to muzzle them. As they stand, his recommendations risk making a bad situation worse.

Libel: counting the costs
"Many articles have recently appeared in the press concerning libel tourism and the effects of current libel law and the costs regime," writes Lord Justice Jackson. "I am not aware of any comparable papers in defence of the status quo by those who act for claimants." But don't worry, he's here to redress the balance.

Nothing is more contentious in law firms than partners' pay packets. In the highly competitive legal world, the top lawyers vie to make the most money. Twenty years ago the actual amount used to be a tightly guarded secret but now, thanks to increasing corporatisation of the profession, firms have become more open about their pay structures.
This has enabled professional services consultants
Co-author of the report
"Globalisation means different systems are being moved from jurisdiction to jurisdiction," Larkan says. "As models are being tweaked, they are becoming more homogenous around the world."
There are two main ways that firms calculate their partners' earnings. One is the traditional lockstep system that pays partners according to seniority, while the other is based on performance over a range of factors. Between these two extremes lie a swathe of systems that combine elements from both.
Whichever model a firm employs Larkan says it's critical that it's perceived to be fair by the partners. "Remuneration is probably the biggest cause of angst in professional service firms," Larkan says. "That's why it's important to get it right."
Because of the way law firms are structured, the system that determines how the business owners are paid dictates more than whether each partner can upgrade to a better holiday home.
"The criteria which are used to reward people have a huge impact on the firm's culture because they encourage certain types of behaviour," Larkan says. "If you just measure fee production, that's what partners will be focused on so they won't worry about marketing or their staff or their contribution to management."
More firms in the UK, Australia and Europe are also adopting corporate style remuneration where partners receive a salary and a bonus based on performance as well as dividends based on the firm's profitability.
"The different systems reflect what appears to be a fundamental difference in partnership culture," Larkan says. "US and Canadian partners seem more willing to place their compensation in the judgment of others while UK, European and Australian partners prefer a pre-established set of criteria for at least part of their package."
For partnerships that use performance-based remuneration, another pattern of cultural differences emerges. Australian and British lawyers are rewarded handsomely for astute business development and client management, while the personal performance of their American peers is the deciding factor when it comes to their stipend.
The proliferation of global law firms makes these cultural differences pertinent. Larkan says setting compensation methods in multi-jurisdictional firms can be problematic.
"Firms use alternative partnership structures to separate profit pools between jurisdictions," he says. "However, we found the overwhelming preference was for all partners to share in a single firm-wide profit pool."
Americans were the most vehement supporters with 99 per cent voting in favour of a uniform system, closely followed by 97 per cent of British partners and 92 per cent of Australians surveyed. If those figures are right, there will be no shortage of motivation come 2014 when the Ashurt partnership votes to combine their global profits into a single pool.

"Scared" but resolute Lindsay Lohan starts jail term
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A "scared" but resolute Lindsay Lohan began a 90-day jail sentence on Tuesday, trading nightclubs and Twitter messages for a small, isolated cell and an orange jumpsuit.
Lohan, 24, was booked into an all-female jail in south Los Angeles after surrendering in court for violating her probation on two 2007 drunk-driving and cocaine possession charges.
The "Mean Girls" actress, whose promising career has foundered during two years of strenuous partying, looked tired and tense during a brief, silent appearance at a packed Beverly Hills courtroom where she was handcuffed and taken into custody.
Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, told reporters Lohan is "scared as anyone would be...and she's resolute. She does her time just like anyone else."
Local TV news helicopters showed live video of Lohan's journey, an unmarked car with tinted windows, to the 2,200-bed Century Regional Detention Facility.
Steve Whitmore, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department that runs the jail system, told reporters that Lohan "has been extremely cooperative and everything is going smoothly."
She will wear a standard orange jumpsuit, hand in any jewelry, and cellphones and computers are banned.
Lohan's time behind bars is expected to be reduced to about three weeks under programs for good behavior and jail overcrowding. Continued...

Flue fire caught early at Old Mill restaurant
Greg's Grill had much larger roof blaze in 2009
BEND, Ore. - Workers at Greg's Grill in Bend's Old Mill District extinguished a small grease fire in the flue that broke out above its wood-fired grill Sunday morning, closing the popular restaurant for lunch, but it was open again for dinner -- though without its wood-fired menu offerings.
Firefighters were dispatched shortly after 10 a.m. to the restaurant at 395 SW Powerhouse Drive, said Bend fire Capt. Scott Wyman, adding that heavy smoke was seen coming from the chimney flue prior to firefighters arrived.
Workers used a fire extinguisher to put out the blaze before the arrival of fire crews, who checked for any extension, Wyman said.
The cause was found to be grease on the wood-fired grill that ignited a creosote buildup above the filters, Wyman said.
Damage was estimated at $2,000, and was confined to the flue and the vent motor on the roof.
Back in February of 2009, an overheated ventilation fan sparked an attic and roof fire, fueled by a buildup of grease and creosote, that caused more than $200,000 damage to the restaurant, closing it for about a week.
Wyman said Deputy Fire Marshal Dan Derlacki had conducted a fire safety inspection at the restaurant in September and everything "looked great."
Area Manager John Churm said they expect to fix and have the grill back on-line Monday.
"Anybody who has those has a huge problem, only because you have a live fire," Churm said.
"We do have a little bit of a design problem in the flue above the wood-fired grill," he added. "It has this sort of L-shaped jog that collects material. When we had the other fire, they said theoretically, you could clean it every day, but it's a shelf, and debris builds and can catch fire. It's only rated to clean every quarter, but we clean it every 45 days. It's a tough thing."

After three decades under multiple names but the same leadership, Montreal's Festival TransAmériques (FTA) has announced a new artistic director: Martin Faucher.
But the selection of the in-demand stage director will not mark a radical shift of course for the country's longest-running festival of international dance and theatre.
"This will be continuity," says Faucher, who has served as an artistic consultant at the FTA for the past eight years. "All the choices made since 2006 are ones that I've been very comfortable with."
With a career that has straddled theatre and dance, and his in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of the festival, Faucher was the odds-on favourite to succeed Marie-Hélène Falcon as artistic director of the FTA; in addition to that role, he will share the duties of director-general with David Lavoie.
In an interview with The Globe and Mail, Faucher held his cards close to his chest about plans for the future – saying only that he is interested in expanding the geographical scope of the festival to consider contemporary dance and theatre in Japan and Korea, as well as the Scandinavian counties.
Faucher will take the reins from Falcon officially in June, after the latest edition comes to an end. Falcon, who announced she was stepping down in September, was the founding artistic director of the Festival de théâtre des Amériques – as it was then called – when it held its inaugural edition in Montreal in 1985.
While the festival's name, focus and frequency has changed a number of times in the intervening years, it has always sought to bring international performing artists to Montreal – and showcase Quebec's to the rest of the world.
Under Falcon's tenure, major European and American creators such as Peter Brook, Ariane Mnouchkine, Peter Sellars and Robert Wilson visited Canada for the first time. The FTA and its predecessors have also helped market the work of artists such as Robert Lepage and Denis Marleau internationally.
Faucher describes attendance at the festival – which presents shows with French and English surtitles – as healthy. "We have people from the Anglo side, from the Franco side, from their 20s thorugh to their 70s," he says. His main concern going in is how to continue to finance the festival. He's open to more co-productions, including with other Canadian festivals with similar remits – and says the PuSh Festival in Vancouver is a "great source of inspiration." As for Luminato in Toronto, Faucher doesn't rule out future collaborations, but notes: "We're on two different realities – unfortunately, the FTA doesn't have the same financial capacity as Luminato."
As for his career as one of Quebec's top stage directors – recent credits including the premiere of Sarah Berthiaume's Yukonstyle and Morris Panych's Vigil at Théâtre du Rideau Vert and the Segal Centre – Faucher says he will put it on pause for at least a year, but after that plans to return to directing one show a season. "For me, that's very important."
The next edition of the FTA runs from May 22 to June 7, 2014. Programming announced so far includes French director Julien Gosselin's adaptation of Michel Houellebecq's novel Les particules élémentaires and new dance works by choreographers Paul-André Fortier, Daniel Léveillé and Christian Rizzo.

Born without arms or legs, this handsome, funny, warm young man has created an almost limitless life for himself. Quadriplegic is often the only description of a person with his disability. Not Josh Vander Veis. In everything from his education to his romantic life, he uses everything he has to get what he wants. By his late 20's, Vander Veis was already a college graduate, an artist, a law student, an international para athlete, a motivational speaker, and (though he holds his pen with his mouth), he says with a smile, that he also always had the best "handwriting" in class. Josh lives with his girlfriend and her son in Vancouver, Canada.
For all his accomplishments, Vander Viel admits physically getting dressed every morning is one of the hardest things he has to do. So is asking for help. His father rigged up a special "suspender" system so he can pull on his own pants. But with all the fears a person with no arms or legs might have, Vander Viel's biggest fear is part of what makes him so special. With so many extraordinary achievements overcoming such a huge disability In Cantada's film, Vander Viel says his biggest fear is that he won't set his goals high enough.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by coynejeremy, May 15, 2014.
I love you all.
What if he trades for Jimmer and drafts Kyle Anderson. Slow mo running the show with Jimmer and KCP bombing from the perimeter.
SVG doesn't have the stones to trade for Jimmer.
I think we will be very good if we can re-sign Moose and dump Smith. The ideal trade in my mind would be Smith + the 8th pick for a sign-and-trade with Jazz on Gordon Hayward. We would get that 2nd ballhandler a la Turkoglu. Hayward is also a skilled shooter. He's in that 6'8-6'9" range, aka ideal SF size imo. This trade doesn't even feel loop-sided either. I mean, the Jazz is rebuildning and I believe they could use a known name as Josh Smith to bring some people to watch their miserably team. All their players are very young, so it won't effect them long-term anyway. This would also free up some cap space to go after role players who fit the identity of the team. I think we could take Thabo Sefelosha (or how he's spelling it) from OKC. Great defender and a decent shooter. Atleast the defense plays him honest.
I'd like to vote yes, but I thought the same thing when they hired John Loyer.
The Buffoonery era is defined by Tay, Rip, and Stuckey. Until Collider signs with another team, the era cannot be closed.
Would I be out of line to say....Stan Van Gundy is to the coaching world what Oprah is to the television world...only sweatier?
let's give the guy 1 season before we start wringing his neck. he's got a lot to fix.
The Buffoonery Era is definitely over! Can we get next seasons win prediction thread up so I can humiliate myself again?
I see no reason to vote "no " and to say "tom gores paid five years in advance for the failure, what a smartass."
How come there isn't anything between an unenthusiastic sounding " yeah I guess" and an exuberant sounding "unequivocally yes..." Something like "yes, I'm confident good things are brewing" I really think some good things are going to happen". I can't vote.
You've got something in common with North Koreans.
LOL. I voted for both of those options!!
The next thing you know, Drath will be inviting Dennis Rodman to his house.
Why can't I vote for lots of options?
You can on your initial vote. Once you click Submit, though, you are done.
Dear Bill Laimbeer, Sticks and stones may break my bones.,. P.s. I would love to have Rodman over. Can you imagine how much fun that would be? My favorite basketball player ever after Zeke is Charles Barkley. He says whatever comes to mind. I don't always agree with him but he's hilarious. But Rodman is up there.
Shut it, Linwood.
* My pride is too strong that humiliation. I stuck my PF.com reputation on the Pistons being a .500 club. I failed you all. Shamefully
Separate names with a comma.
