As family members and friends who lost loved ones in the attacks of 9/11, our hearts go out to the families of those killed and injured in the recent bombings in London.
Tragedies such as the London bombings can strike close to home for 9/11 victims' families and survivors. The images of the devastation and the stories of family members of victims searching for missed loved ones, or grieving their deaths, may recall painful memories, bring back fears we had thought we had overcome, or simply remind us of feelings of sadness, helplessness, or despair that we wish we had forgotten.
A few actions may help with these feelings: recognize what is happening, understand that this is a common response by many people, turn off the media (or at least limit it to once a day for informational purposes only), engage in self-care activities that work, talk about your response with others, and make a donation or engage in a volunteer activity.
While it is important to inform children about this recent disaster and to reassure them, it is not useful for children (or adults) to be overexposed to tragic images or stories. Consider limiting the amount of television viewing related to the tragedy; pay attention as well to radio and print media coverage.
For more information on understanding the feelings you may encounter, including several warning signs to look out for in family members, please refer to the resources below. We also encourage you to use our bulletin board to voice your support to the families of victims and survivors in London. Thanks to all those who have already reached out.

AMES, Iowa – Those interested in what's happening in the area of beef nutrition research at Iowa State University should register by Sept. 25 for the "Beef Nutrition Research Showcase" set for Oct. 3. The event will offer a look at the variety of related research underway at ISU, including at the ISU Beef Nutrition Farm.
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach beef program specialist Joe Sellers said organizers hope that having the showcase the same date as the evening Iowa State-Texas football game will enable more people to attend and learn about the research being done at Iowa State.
"The research showcase is just that – a look at the wide variety of research happening at Iowa State," he said. "The event will run from about 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., giving everyone plenty of time to attend pre-game activities before the 6:30 p.m. kickoff."
The printable event flyer includes the agenda, sponsor listing and preregistration information. See it at http://www.iowabeefcenter.org/events/ResearchShowcaseFlyer2013.pdf.
To order tickets to the Iowa State versus Texas football game, contact the Iowa State ticket office at 515-294-1816 or 888-478-2925. See location and cost of available tickets online.
Thanks to sponsorship from Elanco Animal Health, the entire Beef Nutrition Research Showcase is free. However, it's important to preregister by the Sept. 25 deadline to assure adequate transportation, materials and meal counts for attendees. Preregister by emailing email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 515-294-2333 with the name and address of each attendee.
Stephanie Hansen, assistant animal science professor, said the showcase begins and ends at the Beef Nutrition Farm, and will be held rain or shine. The farm is located at 3405 North Dakota Ave., approximately 4 miles north of the Highway 30/South Dakota Avenue interchange on the southwest corner of Ames. See a map with driving directions here. Signs for parking will be posted.
"The event starts with registration at the farm from 9:30 to 10 a.m. with bus transportation to Kildee Hall on campus for research and sponsor presentations, followed by lunch," Hansen said. "Attendees will hear about a variety of Iowa State research topics, including managing high sulfur diets, vitamin C and meat quality, and mob grazing for wildlife management."
During and after lunch, participants will get updates from program sponsor Elanco Animal Health and farm research equipment sponsors Multimin USA, Micronutrients and Midwest PMS. Buses will then return people to the Beef Nutrition Farm where tours of several research groups and stations will run until the program ends around 3 p.m.

Hi guys I was hoping u could give me a little assistance in being able to use wireshark so i can see what a wpa hash looks like..Your help will be very much appreciated..by the way i already have a wpa capture file.thank u
thanks a lot for the link.but it doesn't explain to me where i am suppose to type in the commands and where actually to go into to see the hash..I was hoping for something a little more noob friendly...I googled all day but didn't find anything solid.
The post that pureh@te linked to mentions that tshark is a command line version of the wireshark suite, so the tshark commands provided need to be run from..... the command line (surprise!). The hash will be shown in the tshark output.
You may benefit from some basic Linux knowledge.
Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
ok i think i now understand a little more clearer.thanks lupin.i am gonna give it another shot..thanks.

Poll says FitzGerald-Kasich race is tightening
(Cleveland) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald is preparing to assess the state of affairs in Cuyahoga County as new poll results show a tightening race with Republican Gov. John Kasich.
FitzGerald, the Cuyahoga county executive, delivers his State of the County address at noon Wednesday. It comes as a new Quinnipiac University poll shows Kasich leading FitzGerald 43 percent to 38 percent. FitzGerald has gained slightly.
Kasich leads among Republicans and men, while Democrats and women back FitzGerald.
The survey did not list Democrat Larry Ealy, who's qualified to challenge FitzGerald in May's primary. The poll of 1,370 registered voters conducted Feb. 12-17 has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
Kasich holds his State of the State speech in Medina on Monday.

Fox's Scales Attacks Sequestration Defense Cuts Without Disclosing Personal Financial Ties To Major Military Contractors
Fox News military analyst Maj. Gen. Robert Scales (ret.) has appeared on-air decrying sequestration-related defense spending cuts without disclosing that his consulting company generates profits from companies dependent on military spending.
In two separate February 13 appearances on Fox News, Scales attacked the possible defense cuts mandated by Congress' failure to pass deficit reduction legislation, but neglected to disclose that he is the co-founder [1] of Colgen, which describes itself as "the latest and fastest growing defense consulting firms in the United States."
In his appearance on Fox & Friends, Scales said he was hoping that there would have been some statement in President Obama's State of the Union address "that sequestration wouldn't happen," and that it would be a "tragedy" if the cuts were triggered.
Later in the day, Scales appeared on Happening Now to reiterate his opposition to defense cuts, arguing that "these cuts couldn't happen at a worse time" and are "awful" and "misdirected." He also warned about the Pentagon "going after its budget with a meat axe."
In both appearances, Scales was identified by anchors and on-screen text as a Fox "military analyst" and no reference was made to his role with Colgen.
Both sides of the political aisle have opposed the sequestration cuts. Speaker John Boehner described [2] them as "bad policy" while President Obama referred [3] to them in his State of the Union address as "sudden, harsh, arbitrary cuts" that "would jeopardize our military readiness." Yet Fox chose to host someone, out of all the available voices, with a financial stake in the issue.
A report [4] from Barr Group Aerospace, a consulting firm "dedicated to economic and industrial aerospace & defense market research," lists several Colgen clients among the top recipients of U.S. Department of Defense contracts for fiscal year 2012. These include Lockheed Martin with $29 billion in contracts, Boeing ($27 billion), Raytheon ($14 billion), General Dynamics ($13 billion), Northrup Grumman ($8.7 billion), SAIC ($5 billion), and Booz Allen Hamilton ($2.5 billion).
A Boeing executive has expressed [5] concerns to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff about the sizeable impact sequestration cuts would have on their business.
Northrop Grumman sponsors [6] a site called "Stop Sequestration" which claims that "these spending cuts would have a significant impact on the size and capability of the military and the defense industrial base." They are a Colgen client.
Lockheed Martin published a 2012 memo [7] about their efforts to "raise awareness in Congress as to the devastating effects of sequestration." General Dynamics' chairman told investors [8] in October that they "remain cautious given the unprecedented uncertainty in the coming months caused by the threat of sequestration."
Booze Allen Hamilton and SAIC have both [9] noted [10] that sequestration would negatively affect their business.
The U.S. military itself, which would of course directly feel the effects of cuts, is represented on Colgen's client list. U.S. military groups listed as clients include the Army, Army National Guard, Marine Corps, Marine Corps Reserve, and the Navy among others.
Fox News is also listed as a "client" of Colgen's.
In an op-ed [11] from Scales published in the Washington Post and syndicated to several other newspapers, a disclosure was added indicating that he "is president of the consulting firm Colgen." While this does not adequately detail possible conflicts in Scales' writing, it is at least more than Fox News chose to disclose.

Is it normal for my baby to spill a little milk every time he burps ?
My 4 month old baby is on formula and he has this habit of spilling a little milk every time he burps.Though I take care that he is not laid down after having milk and make sure he is in an upright position for a while after each feed. But still he spills a little milk every time he burps. Should I be worried about it or is it normal for babies. I am worried if the cause for this could be some stomach infection. I would be glad to receive your valuable advice on this.

So your baby is spitting up a little milk after a feeding?
Have you tried to burp him half way through his bottle feeding and see if that helps at all?
Also I know you mentioned that you keep him up right...that's very important that your little one stay upright for several moments after a feed to allow his digestive system to work properly.
Id might see if offering him an half ounce less of milk in his bottle helps as well.
Maybe a few feedings will bring light to the issue.
Id say that he probably does not have a stomach infection, you would know right away as he would spit up copious amounts of milk and generally be very fussy and irritable if he was suffering from a infection.
I do know that if he still continues to spit a little with every feed that it can be perfectly normal and is more a laundry problem than a baby problem.
Make sure to have a burp towel handy to catch his milk and keep on loving on your little one.

Dear sunnymumof5,
I'll surely try to burp him between the feeds. I hope that works.
Thanks !!

If your baby spits up a lot, try burping her every few minutes during feedings. Don't lay her down or play with her for 20-30 minutes after eating. Spitting up often gets better when a baby starts sitting up. If you're worried about how much she spits up, or if she is fussy when spitting up, talk to your pediatrician.

I am building a simple browser-based text RPG (Role Playing Game) and my first step is to design the database. I have checked some samples and articles about the subject and I wanted to ask your opinions as well.
Basically, I will have the following tables:
Each character will have some skills and items in the game. I can think of two options for designing the database as below. Can you please tell me which one would you prefer and why?
characters table:character_idcharacter_name
items table:item_iditem_name
character_items table:character_iditem_id
characters table:character_idcharacter_namecharacter_itemscharacter_skills
option 1 is by far the better choice
option 2 violates first normal form and therefore has all the issues involved with that
for example, if you're searching for something specific, you have to deserialize every string, which means that the search will require a table scan, which means your app won't scale -- the query will get slower and slower the more rows there are
Rudy, thanks for your opinion. After asking the question, I made some more research about normalization and reading your reply, first option makes more sense to me now. Although I am starting very simple, there is no reason why it wouldn't get big in the future if I can create something nice. That's why I am trying to do it right as much as possible from the beginning.
I also read about denormalization and that it might be considered for really big databases. I guess I shouldn't worry about it at this stage. Besides, there is the database sharding topic. I am not sure if a browser-based text RPG will require this but as a programmer you have to consider all possible scenarios right?
Theoretically speaking, let's imagine my game reached 1,000,000 players, each player has 2 characters (average) and each character has 20 items (average) in their inventory. Following the first option, character_items table will have 1,000,000 x 2 x 20 = 40,000,000 entries. To read/write data from the database, I guess I will need a lot of joins because there will be many related tables. In such a case, would you still think that the first option is the way to go? Thanks again.
By the way, don't all searches require a table scan? Or do you mean looking for a key (such as item_id) would be much faster than looking up the content of a cell which contains data such as "item1, item2, item3"
Thank you again Rudy, I added one last paragraph to my last reply if you missed it.
no, not if the searched column is indexed
The problem isn't really storing of the data in such a form so much as actually having to work with the data. that is why normalization is the way to go.
For argument sake let's say you have 10 users and each of them have a minimum of 5 but as many as 20 items as you say.with one row per item per user you would have as many as 200 rows rather than 10. BUT it is far simpler with the normalized table when you need to find out which users have a sword, or how many users are carrying a sword and a rope. Even more important when you have a list of say 5 items that a user must have to fight the "boss" and find out if each of the 10 fighters in the party have those five items.
It becomes more and more complex to do such searches when you have serialized data. And as you say, you might have a million players, so even more so.
Your example gives me a better understanding, thank you. I am pretty sure I will have such or even more complex scenarios as I improve the game.

Mega-Bank Hall of Shame: First Inductee Citigroup
We have many Halls of Fame in the US: every sport has one and there's one for rock and roll. However, sometimes we need to "honor" those who are the worst of the worst, to call attention to their abuses and hopefully get them to change course while getting people to consider alternative. In those cases, we need a Hall of Shame. Based on its proven capacity to do harm to the United States and the world, we think no industry deserves a Hall of Shame more than banking.
As part of Green America's Break Up With Your Mega-Bank Campaign, we're now launching the Mega-Bank Hall of Shame. We'll be periodically adding financial institutions to the list and taking nominees from readers. We're launching the Hall of Shame with Citigroup, one of the largest banks in the world.
What qualifies Citigroup for the Hall of Shame? Here's a partial list of their actions that we think merits their inclusion.
Predatory Lending Practices. For the past decade, there have been multiple allegations of predatory lending practices by Citigroup. Predatory lending is financing that saddles borrowers with exorbitant interest rates and fees and unfair terms. The result is the stripping of wealth from low-income communities. In 2001, Green America and the Social Investment Forum called attention to Citigroup's predatory lending practices a decade ago and an outcry from thousands of consumers got Citigroup to clean up some of its worse practices. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission sued Citigroup for predatory lending practices and settled with the banking giant in 2002 for $215 million. However, as late as 2009, data analyzed by Fair Finance Watch found that Citi, and three other major lenders (JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America) were still saddling minority borrowers with higher cost loans, while also turning them down for loans more frequently.
High Fees. Citigroup and other major banks keep coming up with new fees for many of its account holders. Most recently, in December 2011, Citigroup raised its fees on a basic checking account.
Illegitimate Foreclosures. Citigroup is one of the banks that is being sued by Massachusetts and other states for engaging in improper foreclosures against homeowners. A key claim of the lawsuit is that Citigroup and other banks used "robo-signers" in foreclosing on homeowners and failed to perform due diligence. In addition, Citigroup and other banks are alleged to be improperly foreclosing on US Service Members.
Abusing Investors. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Citigroup for lying to investors about the soundness of its investment products. Citigroup was allegedly telling investors that the investments were sound, while betting against the same investments. According to the filed complaint, Citigroup made $160 million, while investors lost $700 million. The SEC recently tried to settle this case, but the presiding judge refused to sign off on the settlement, essentially saying that the SEC was letting Citigroup off too easily. The Federal Housing Financing Agency is also suing Citigroup and 16 other lenders for misleading Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac about the safety and soundness of mortgages the entities purchased from Citigroup.
Gender Discrimination. A group of woman plaintiffs is suing Citigroup for allegedly laying off female employees disproportionately, retaining men with lower performance evaluations, and/or treating women to a hostile environment.
Fostering Climate Change. As I wrote in a previous post, Citigroup is one of our major banks that claims to screen its lending for climate change issues, but continues to be a major supporter of sources of climate change.
The bottom line: if you are a person of color, a woman, a moderate-income account holder, an investor, or someone who cares about people and the planet, then Citigroup is not the bank for you. If you bank with Citigroup, check out Green America's Guide to Community Investing to find financial institutions that build communities and treat their customers well. If you need help in breaking up with Citigroup, you can download our free kit.
If you break up with Citigroup, please share your experience on our blog. And, if you have more to say about Citigroup than what you see above, please share it.

PHILADELPHIA – After being tied entering the weekend , it's fitting that the University of Pennsylvania baseball team and Columbia split two games on Friday, with the Lions winning game one, 6-0, and the Quakers taking game two, 12-4.
The teams will play a doubleheader again tomorrow in New York, each team needing two victories to claim the Ivy League Gehrig Division Championship.
In Friday's action, Columbia (23-16, 14-4 Ivy) came into game one in the midst of a 14-game winning streak, dating back to April 5. The Lions wasted no time staking their claim to number 15 straight, getting ahead early on the Quakers (23-15, 14-4 Ivy), scoring once in the first and second innings, before scoring three runs in the third.
Starting pitcher Connor Cuff (5-2) wasn't as sharp on Friday as he has been his last three outings, starting the game allowing a base hit, before hitting a batter, and walking another to load the bases.
Behind Cuff the Quakers defense also wasn't as solid as it has been with two critical errors that led to four of Columbia's six runs.
Offensively for Penn Jeff McGarry, Mitch Montaldo, and Gary Tesch all collected doubles at the plate, but were left stranded on base.
Penn bounced back in game two, after a ceremony recognizing the Quakers six seniors; Pat Bet, Rick Brebner, Brandon Engelhardt, Matt Gotschall, Brian Hurst, and Cody Thomson, took place in between games.
Leading the way for the Red and Blue in game two,and helping snap Columbia's 15-game winning streak, were juniors Matt McKinnon and Jeff McGarry, and sophomore Michael Greskoff.
McKinnon went 3-for-4, with four RBIs and was also hit by a pitch, while Greskoff collected two hits and three RBIs. McGarry added a double and three RBIs.
Columbia took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second, before the Quakers bats finally came alive in the bottom half of the inning. With McGarry and Greskoff on second and third, Mike Vilardo hit a ground ball to second base to give Penn its first run of the day. McKinnon tallied on of his RBI singles in the inning, before senior Brandon Engelhardt knocked in a run with a base hit, giving the Quakers a 3-1 lead.
The Lionswould answer right back scoring two in the third, before Penn would untie the game on a McKinnon RBI single in the bottom of the third.
Penn starter Jake Cousins worked a scoreless fourth inning, allowing the Quaker to extend their lead in the bottom half, scoring five runs, highlighted by Greskoff's bases loaded double.
Coming on to pitch for Cousins, Mitchell Hammonds (1-0) allowed his only run of the day in the fifth, going on to throw five innings, with three strikeouts, to earn his first collegiate win.
Penn extended its lead in the bottom half of the fifth inning, making it 12-4, after McGarry cleared the bases, driving in three runs with a double.
After the split today, a split tomorrow would necessitate a one-game playoff between the Quakers and Lions. Penn entered the weekend holding the tiebreaker that would award hosting duties, if a playoff is necessary.
The Quakers and the Lions doubleheader to determine the champion of the Gehrig Division is slated to begin at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow.

text: Airpcap definitely isnt supported in Linux (search this page for the word "Linux"). As to whether the device will work as a regular wireless card under Linux... this seems to indicate that that the AirPCap XL is an atheros 9170 USB device and that it uses this driver. So you need to get that driver loaded.

Stephanie Watson
August 08, 1969
St. Paul
United States of America
"I was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. When I was a kid, my favorite thing was performing in plays at the Children´s Theatre Company in town. The dancing and music, costumes and lights brought my favorite stories — Pippi Longstocking, Alice in Wonderland, The Velveteen Rabbit — to life in a way that felt like some sort of magic trick. It was like stepping into the pages of the books I had read at bedtime and meeting all the funny characters. I think that in part, it was this daily contact with storytelling that made me want to eventually create my own stories." "I attended public school in Minneapolis through high school, then enrolled in Sarah Lawrence College in New York to study theater, dance and writing. I enjoyed the short stories and novels I read in my writing classes, but between assignments I would go back to the books I loved best as a kid: Harriet the Spy, Mary Poppins, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, the Ramona Quimby series. By the time I graduated from college, I knew I wanted to write for children in the spirit of these special books." "I started writing Elvis & Olive with a desire to tell a good story, but no idea if I could do it, and no clue what it would be about. So I kept the writing a secret from everyone. And soon, the whole story was about secrets." Stephanie Watson lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. For more information, please visit www.stephanie-watson.com

American restaurant menus can be misleading. Take French fries and the French dip sandwich, neither one originated in France.
Fries can be traced back to Belgium and the French dip is American, created in Los Angeles in 1918.
"In France, we don't have a French dip sandwich. We don't eat sandwiches like that," said Jean Jacques Grossi, who emigrated from France 36 years ago and is the executive chef at Gourmandise Bakery. "I'm not sure where it comes from. I would have to Google it."
When you do search the Internet, there's some dispute about its origins. Some say Cole's Pacific Electric Buffet was the first restaurant that served the sandwich.
Others say it was invented at a different place: Philippe the Original. Legend has it that an officer ordered a beef sandwich and Philippe "Frenchy" Mathieu, the original owner of the downtown deli, accidentally dropped the bread in a roasting pan that still contained the drippings. The officer was in a hurry, so he took the sandwich anyway.
The officer enjoyed his lunch so much that he returned the next day and brought others who all wanted to try the sauce-soaked sandwich. This happy accident eventually became known as the French dip so named because the sandwich is served on a French roll and because of Mathieu's nickname and heritage.
"I spoke with the grandson of Philippe Mathieu at the restaurant's 100th anniversary and he confirmed the story. That's exactly what he heard from his grandfather," said Mark Massengill, a managing partner at Philippe the Original. His family has owned and operated the restaurant since 1927 when they purchased it from Mathieu.
First opened in 1908, Philippe the Original is considered a historic site in L.A. The restaurant had to relocate in 1951 to make way for the 101 Freeway. Other than that, not much has changed, especially not the menu.
"The menu has been basically the same and that's something we've been very careful to maintain," Massengill said. "People come here because they're familiar with it. They come here because their parents brought them and they know exactly what they're going to get."
The French dip is served with a savory broth mixture, called the au jus, which is applied directly to the bread rather than on the side. That's how the sandwich was originally conceived and the owners are not ones to break with tradition.
"The history is a big part of it. It's what brings people back," Massengill said.
Philippe the Original attracts many tourists but a major part of its clientele are locals who have been dining there since childhood.
"I've been coming here for 20 years," said Joel Jones, a downtown L.A. attorney. "My dad started bringing me here when I was a kid."
In Utah
In Salt Lake City, several restaurants offer French dip sandwiches. Grossi, at Gourmandise, offers one made with thinly sliced Italian beef and Swiss cheese on a baguette. At The Robin's Nest, "The Big Dipper" comes with medium roast beef, melted Swiss and au jus. Horseradish is available upon request.
Ryan Lowder, owner and chef at the Copper Onion remembers his first run in with the humble sandwich.
"My mom used to make it. She was a pretty ambitious cook," he said. "First she was using deli slices but then she started braising the meat herself. It was definitely a homegrown French dip."
At his Salt Lake City restaurant, Lowder keeps the French dip simple. "You don't need to gussy up a French dip," he said. "We don't do anything out of the ordinary but it does take some TLC."
The au jus, which is served on the side, takes 10 hours to prepare. The sandwich consists of beef sourced from Pleasant Creek Ranch, caramelized onions and Tillamook cheddar all piled in a house-made baguette an important part of the equation.
"The bread, I mean, that's your delivery," Lowder said. "I think dipping it is fun. You just use the sandwich like a shovel and get all that au jus."
The American-made sandwich is served with a side of what else French fries.

Vega One Frequently Asked Questions What's new with Vega One?We're so glad you asked!

We're so excited to welcome you to the world of clean, plant-based nutrition. Vega One will provide you a complete nutrition boost to help you thrive, whether you're simply shaking it with water on-the-go or blending it into a satisfying smoothie. Speaking of smoothies—if you're looking for flavor inspiration, start at the Vega Recipe Center. Remember, even positive changes are best when you start small. We recommend starting with 1/4 of a serving and gradually working up to a full serving over a few weeks. Can I take Vega One if I have special dietary needs?People of all ages love Vega One. However, if you have special dietary needs (such as if you are pregnant or nursing, want to give Vega One to a child, or you're on otherwise restricted diet) we advise you talk to your health care practitioner before eating Vega One. Can Vega One be used as a meal replacement?Vega One is a food—so you can enjoy it anytime you would eat other foods you love—meals, snacks or anywhere in between. Check the Nutrition Facts Panel to ensure that it has the amounts of macro and micronutrients that you are looking for in a meal. Woah. Vega One sure is green! Why? Is the color natural?New Vega One is greener than ever—no food coloring added!

You just can't camouflage awesome. Is Vega One organic?Whenever we can, we'll choose organic ingredients for Vega One. As demand for organic ingredients grows, it's getting easier every year to find reliable sources of organic ingredients, but the cost of certification remains prohibitive for smaller-scale farmers—especially cooperative farmers of crops like SaviSeed (sacha inchi). Because of this, some of our ingredients are organically grown, but not certified organic—we think the right choice can include supporting the little guys.Vega One is made with an increased amount of certified organic ingredients including Vega Maca, acacia gum, broccoli, kale, spirulina, marine algae calcium, pomegranate, goji and macqui berries. Where are ingredients in Vega One sourced from?More than 75% of the ingredients in Vega One are grown and processed in North America. We choose to source some ingredients from their native climate including: maca (Peru), SaviSeeds (Peru), and chlorella (Japan). Is Vega One vegan?Yes, Vega One is vegan certified through Vegan Action. This means that it is made without any animal byproducts including dairy, eggs and honey. What is the amino acid profile of Vega One? Aspartic Acid 2200mg Threonine 729mg Serine 1002mg Glutamic Acid 3218mg Glycine 944mg Alanine 835mg Valine 1014mg Methionine 269mg Isoleucine 917mg Leucine 1638mg Tyrosine 733mg Phenylalanine 1053mg Lysine 874mg Histidine 437mg Arginine 1872mg Proline 948mg Hydroxyproline 0 Cysteine 215mg Tryptophan 215mg Is it ok if I drink more than one serving of Vega One in a day?There are no limitations to the number of servings you can enjoy in a day. Even good things should be enjoyed in moderation and we suggest you take Vega One as part of a balanced diet. If you have questions about your specific nutrition needs, it's best to talk to your health care practitioner. The Vega StoryVega Sport is the first all-natural, plant-based performance enhancement system specifically developed to help athletes perform at their best - before, during and after training and competition. Formulated by Brendan Brazier, professional Ironman triathlete and best-selling author on performance nutrition, Vega Sport products are 100% plant-based, dairy, gluten and soy free and contain no artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners. Brendan Brazier, Vega Ambassador, Vegan Ironman, Thrive Diet author Vega began with a vision, determination, and a serendipitous relationship that bore the first Vega product, now called Vega One. Told from the onset that a plant-based diet wouldn't cut it on the professional Ironman circuit, Brendan Brazier's nutritional journey began with unpromising results. Several months of chronic hunger, the need to constantly eat and a decline in energy culminated in a decline in athletic performance. Brendan's stubborn curiosity persevered however, and after many years of research, trials and tribulations, he created a plant-based, whole food diet that worked better than he had ever expected. Brendan went on to become one of the top professional Ironman triathletes in Canada, crediting his diet for his success competing in one of the world's most demanding sports. For years Brendan packed plant-based whole foods into a daily blended shake to supply his body with premium fuel in liquid form for easy digestion. It worked great at home, but when he traveled it became troublesome dragging around a blender and shopping for (or packing along) his favorite whole food ingredients. Brendan began searching for a convenient, healthy, plant-based, whole food derived, all-in-one protein and nutritional supplement option, but was disappointed in his findings. He found most protein shakes on the market were whey protein-based—off limits for a vegan. Though some vegetarian options existed, they were almost exclusively soy protein-based, an ingredient Brendan was trying to cut back on due to his concerns regarding GMOs and phytoestrogens. All the protein supplements he found were also lacking in essential fatty acids, especially Omega-3, which required additional supplementation to deliver the all -in-one nutrition he was after. To make matters worse, most contained large quantities of low-quality carbohydrates (e.g,. maltodextrin), artificial flavors, colors and sweeteners—all ingredients Brendan wanted to avoid. Brendan realized there was a need for an all-in-one nutritional shake that did not compromise quality, nourishing ingredients for convenience. He approached several nutritional supplement manufacturers, but everyone told him it wouldn't work—"you can't put whole food ingredients into a commercial protein shake or meal replacement" they said. "It would have too short a shelf-life, low product demand, poor taste and texture, and too high a cost" they said. There were too many negatives and not enough positives to warrant such a product. So Brendan put his idea on the back-burner and continued to lug his trusty blender and cooler-full of whole foods wherever he traveled. A couple of years later, Brendan was struck by a car while training on his bike and injured his leg. Told by his doctor to take 6 months off from training and competing, Brendan sought alternative options. He underwent intense physiotherapy and began taking a product his naturopath recommended called ChlorEssence, hoping the high level of growth factors in it would help heal his injury. At the same time, Brendan also began taking a supplement called MacaSure, helping him deal with the physical and emotional stress of his injury. Within 8 weeks of rehabilitation, all the while taking 10g of ChlorEssence and 10g of MacaSure a day, Brendan made a full recovery. Though he was not in his top form, remarkably, he was able to compete professionally again, participating in the Ironman Canada triathlon event and finishing the grueling race despite his recent injury. Brendan was so pleased with his rapid recovery that he contacted Sequel Naturals, makers of ChlorEssence and MacaSure, and shared his success story with the company's President, Charles Chang. Brendan and Charles also discussed the concept of producing a complete, whole food-derived nutritional shake that was made from 100% plant-based ingredients. Only now, Brendan wanted to include ChlorEssence and MacaSure in every serving of this nutritional shake as well. Charles was intrigued by the passion of this young athlete and he loved the idea of the whole food-derived nutritional shake. Aware of the many challenges that developing such a product would present, Charles was confident that together they would be able to overcome them. Brendan was given the job of product formulator and Sequel Naturals would take care of the ingredient sourcing, production, quality control, packaging, sales and distribution. They agreed that this nutritional shake would be made without compromises and had to meet several key criteria: Made with all natural, plant-based ingredients (absolutely no animal products) Made primarily with whole foods in their freshest, least processed form possible Provide a balance of protein, carbohydrates and healthy fats, plus a significant contribution to your daily intake of vitamins and minerals when mixed in plain water Feature proteins from a diverse variety of vegetarian sources that combine to deliver a complete essential amino acid profile Provide carbohydrates that are naturally occurring, complex and low-glycemic, with no added sugars or sugar- derivatives Deliver essential fatty acids of the highest quality, the majority being Omega-3s, with no trans fats Free of dairy, gluten and soy Include no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners Taste good with pleasant texture and flavor when mixed with plain water Easy to prepare for on-the-go convenience After a year of product formulation and testing, the first version of Brendan's nutritional shake was a close replica of Brendan's favorite blender smoothie. Now available in its third generation of the formula, all the ingredients in Vega One nutritional shake were chosen by Brendan to work synergistically to nourish the body and reduce nutritional stress. And now Brendan doesn't have to lug his old blender with him when he travels anymore. Prologue Vega One (and its predecessors, Vega Whole Food Meal Replacement and Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer) has been so successful it inspired the development of all the Vega products you know and love. Each new Vega product is formulated based on the Guiding Principles of Vega and Brendan's passion for clean, plant-based nutrition. Rooted in the shared belief that the closest you can get to perfection is constant improvement, Brendan and Vega are on a continual mission to discover new ingredients and explore new ideas on how to make existing—and future— Vega products even better. About BrendanBrendan Brazier is one of only a few professional athletes in the world whose diet is 100 percent plant- based. He's a professional Ironman triathlete, bestselling author of The Thrive Diet (Penguin, 2007), and the creator of an award-winning line of whole food nutritional products called Vega. He is also a two-time Canadian 50km Ultra Marathon Champion. Brendan is recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on plant-based nutrition. He is a guest lecturer at Cornell University and teaches an eCornell course called The Plant-Based Diet and Elite Athleticism. Brendan was chosen as one of the 25 Most Fascinating Vegetarians by VegNews Magazine, the Top 40 Under 40 most influential people in the health industry by Natural Food Merchandiser and has been nominated for the prestigious Manning Innovation Award twice for creating Vega. Brendan's intentions of spreading the word of an ethical, environmentally friendly, and healthy lifestyle through plant-based foods have taken him across North America, speaking at events such as the Chicago Green Festival and the United States Humane Society Gala. Brendan was also invited to address US Congress on Capitol Hill, where he spoke of the significant social and economic benefits that could be achieved by improving personal health through better diet. The focus of his speech was to draw attention to the role that food plays in the prevention of most chronic diseases currently plaguing North Americans. Spanning the whole month of October of 2008, Brendan was a keynote presenter on a cross-Canada university speaking tour called Students for Sustainability. Speaking at 21 universities, along with others such David Suzuki and Stephan Lewis, the tour went coast to coast offering practical environmental preservation solutions to students. It was Canada's largest environmental tour. Among Brendan's other achievements are his active involvement with initiatives such as a new exploratory adventure movie on health and wellness, Back from the Edge, and a photo feature alongside the likes of Barack Obama and Bill Maher in the Charity book A Rare Breed of Love (Simon & Schuster) recently featured by Oprah Winfrey. Having appeared on CTV and CBC in Canada and on NBC, ABC and FOX in the United States, Brendan has become a sought-after speaker. Aimed at helping individuals and companies improve productivity through greater fitness Brendan's latest book, Thrive Fitness: Mental and Physical Strength for Life, was published by Penguin in January, 2009. About VegaSince 2001, Vega has established itself as the leader in the plant-based natural health and performance products industry. Born from the belief that you shouldn't have to choose between clean, plant-based nutrition and on-the-go convenience, Vega is guided by the idea that alkaline-forming, plant-based whole foods are the true future of optimal health - and that nutrition is foundation from which to build a stronger, younger-feeling body.

Why We Get the Police State We Deserve—and What We Can Do to Fix That
In the first flush of stories about how the National Security Agency is surveilling American citizens, one stomach-turning revelation hasn't gotten the attention it deserves: we get the surveillance state we deserve because rank political partisanship trumps bedrock principle every goddamn time on just about every goddamn issue.
The journalist Glenn Greenwald, who jump-started this overdue conversation on civil liberties and the war on terrorism, has promised that the revelations are just getting started. But nothing that comes out can be more dispiriting than the simple truth that Democrats and Republicans are both happy to love Big Brother as long as he's got the right party affiliation.
In late 2005, The New York Times and others exposed broad-based, constitutionally dubious NSA surveillance programs of American citizens. If memory serves, there was a Republican in the White House, and the GOP held both houses of Congress too.
In January 2006, Pew Research asked whether it was OK to collect info on "people suspected of involvement with terrorism by secretly listening in on telephone calls and reading emails between some people in the United States and other countries, without first getting court approval to do so." A slim majority of all respondents—51 percent—said yes while 47 percent said no.
The partisan breakdown, however, was vastly different, with 75 percent of Republicans finding it acceptable and just 23 percent dissenting. When it came the Democrats, only 37 percent of Democrats signed off on NSA snooping, with a whopping 61 percent saying screw off.
Fast-forward to June 2013, when a Democrat occupies the Oval Office after an easy reelection and his party controls the Senate. Pew asked respondents whether it's OK that the NSA "has been getting secret court orders to track telephone calls of millions of Americans in an effort to investigate terrorism." This time around, it's Democrats who overwhelmingly support collecting collecting yottabytes and exabytes of metadata on us all, with 64 percent saying they are totally fine with NSA surveillance programs and a measly 34 percent disagreeing. Among Republicans, enthusiasm for eye-in-the-sky surveillance has taken a major hit, with only 52 percent agreeing and 47 percent saying no.
(Don't let the constitutional fig leaf about "secret court orders" in the newer version of Pew's question fool you. To the extent that anyone knows anything about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court, they know it's a freaky hybrid of a kangaroo and a rubber stamp that even Dr. Moreau couldn't have conceived at his most demented. In roughly 34,000 requests spanning 33 years, FISA courts have turned down applicants for surveillance orders a total of 11 times.)

Charlotte, N.C. • Eli Manning didn't need a fourth-quarter comeback Thursday night.
The two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback, running back Andre Brown and the rest of the New York Giants finished off the Carolina Panthers way before that.
Brown ran for a career-high 113 yards and two touchdowns in his first NFL start to help the Giants rout the Panthers 36-7.
Four days after rallying from 14 points down to beat Tampa Bay, the Giants dominated the first half, scoring on their first four possessions to build a 20-0 lead.
The defending champion Giants (2-1) were without three starters but it hardly mattered.
Brown waived by five different teams, including the Panthers, since coming into the league as a fourth-round draft pick in 2009 got his chance Thursday night when Ahmad Bradshaw sat out with a neck injury.
Brown said he thought about getting cut by the Panthers before the game and it inspired him.
"I was walking into the stadium and I have to go by the spot where I parked my car," Brown said. "I felt a little fire, no doubt. I'm so happy to come out here. It really humbled me. It really shows that everything is not guaranteed. You know, I'm just going to ride this wave. Hopefully, it's a long wave."
Ramses Barden is hoping to ride that same wave.
Barden caught nine passes for a career-high 138 yards in his first NFL start. He played in place of Hakeem Nicks.
Of course it helps that the guy throwing you the ball is named Manning. He completed 27 of 35 passes for 288 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions.
On the other side, second-year quarterback Cam Newton struggled all night and was pressured into three interceptions. The Panthers (1-2) had five turnovers, including two by returner Joe Adams.
Newton had no luck running the read option against the Giants. He was held to 6 yards rushing a week after running for a career-high 71 yards against the Saints.
"We got some licks on him, when he kept the ball, and that's something that was lacking last week," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "You have to be disciplined. You have to have people in the right spots, or he'll take full advantage of it."
Panthers coach Ron Rivera likened the loss to a lesson you learn from your big brother.
"They came in and slapped us around and dragged us to the ground a little bit," Rivera said. "Hopefully, we learn from it a little bit. Hopefully, we learn from it and, hopefully, we don't like it and we come back focused."
Mixing run and pass, the Giants dominated the opening half, outgaining the Panthers 303-125.
Manning completed 19 of 25 passes for 208 yards in the first half, including a 14-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett to cap the Giants' game-opening drive and set the tone.
It capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive and marked the third straight game the Panthers have given up a touchdown on an opponent's first drive.
Storylines New York state of mind
R New York's Andre Brown rushes for a career-high 113 yards and two touchdowns.
• Giants QB Eli Manning completes 27 of 35 passes for 288 yards and a TD.
• Ramses Barden catches nine passes for 138 yards in his first start.

Coaching Football and Playing it is COMPLETELLY DIFFERENT to say teaching grappling and then learning grappling.. Like Rob saiid; ''You can help students much more by rolling with them than just watching.''
And ii also agree with his comment about not being able to keep an eye on 10 pairs of people at the exact same time.. what if someone gets a biit frisky and accidentally hurts the person he's rolling with.. you expect the instructor to be there the exact same second its happening and stop it in process?
LMFAO! unfortunatelly superman doesn't teach BJJ.. haha
Instructors getting involved in classes evey now and agaiin is extremelly helpfull for the students as they learn soo soo much more..

Denmark's Marco Sørensen claimed an impressive sixth place finish for Lotus on the streets of Monte Carlo on Sunday afternoon when he climbed from ninth on the grid to score eight valuable champion points. The 21-year-old gained two places on the first lap before inheriting sixth place on lap 9 when Fortec's Robin Frijns retired at the Nouvelle Chicane.
Lotus was heading for a double points finish until the closing stages of the race when New Zealander Richie Stanaway crashed at the Swimming Pool complex, ploughing head-on into the tecpro barrier after an apparent mechanical failure. He had been running tenth at the time, in the final points-scoring position.
The result boosts Sørensen's points tally to 14, putting him ninth in the championship, while Stanaway slips to 14th place on 8 points. Lotus has scord 22 points so far this season and lies seventh in the teams' championship.

Memorial Day Memories
May 24th, 2012
Before he was a hero, he was just a Chicago kid. The youngest of four and son to English immigrant parents, Bert was adored by everyone. His family used to tease that he was "Momma's little bubby-mies," a playful way of saying that he could get away with anything. No one seemed to mind.
Bert finished high school and worked as a purchasing agent. His brother – who, despite being older, idolized Bert – enlisted in the service in 1942 and was stationed in Detroit as a military policeman. Nine months later, Bert decided to do the same. He was just 24 years old when he joined the United States Army Air Corps. The family couldn't have been prouder; Bert was going to fly.
"Hell's Angels" was her name, an iconic B17 aircraft on a mission to bomb the U-Boat Yards in Kiel, Germany, and Bert was her 2nd Lieutenant. After a successful bombing, she was up against fifty German FW190s and Me109s. Around 12:30 in the afternoon, Hell's Angels suffered a hole in the rudder and a stopped engine. Bert, and his 9 comrades on board, died over the North Sea.
This memorial day, I'll be thinking of the men of the 8th Air Force 91 Bomb Group 322 Bomb Squadron. I'll be thinking of my great-uncle Albert "Bert" Davies, a man who continues to be honored and loved in our family, though his story survives only through faded correspondence and the memories passed down to a generation that never met him.
This Monday, May 28th, the library will be closed in observance of Memorial Day. The long weekend is a perfect opportunity to meet with your family and tell the stories of the brave men and women who have died in service to our nation. If you're planning to interview a veteran or those who remember the service of one who has died, consider consulting the chapters on interviewing in The Genealogy Handbook by Ellen Galford and The Genealogy Sourcebook by Sharon Debartolo Carmack. To read about the stories of brave Cecil Countians, be sure to check out Cecil's Soldiers: Stories from the World War II Generation by Jenifer Dolde.
And if you're interested in local history, make sure to check out the Journey Stories events coming to Cecil County this summer and fall.
The men in the group photograph are as follows: S/Sgt. Clyde B. Burdick; 1st Lieutenant William H. Broley; 2nd Lieutenant Albert H. Davies; 2nd Lieutenant Joseph M. Darmiento; T/Sgt. Lowell A. Dawson; S/Sgt. Edward H. Jones; T/Sgt. Edward K. Clyne; S/Sgt. Kenneth S. Greer; S/Sgt. Kenneth T. Donovan; Sgt. Edward S. Caspariello.
Who will you be thinking of this Memorial Day? Please share below!

returning to work
Hi This debate has went on in my house since I had my first child and now I will soon have to have the debate with myself again, should I stay at home with my children or should I return to work???? Its a big decision I want to be able to provide for my children both financially and be there for them when they need me. I just want to make the right decision so any advice would be great.
23rd April 2014 12:33 AM #2
Dear Paula,
Thanks such a tough one isn't it.
If you can afford it, then I think one-to-one attention between a child and parent is best for all aspects of development. Our children change every day; each day they learn something new and will be a little different. If you are able to stay at home with them then it is a wonderful opportunity for bonding and learning through play.
However, I appreciate that many families will be unable to do this. It is a great thing to provide for your children financially and ensure they have everything they need. Some parents are able to organise it that they both work part time or other mums can work from home in the evenings or at weekends. Another option is for you to work part time and your children to spend this time under the care of wider family members - this can be an excellent middle ground if you trust them and they will care for your children in the way you want.
Warm wishes,

You can have a part time job instead of full time job. You can spend lots of time at home with your children or you can work at home. There are many home based jobs nowadays. It is better that you are at home when your child is growing. You can guide and see them everyday.

LONG BEACH - Long Beach was named Thursday as one of the country's top city governments for how it uses technology to enhance public services.
The city was ranked ninth among those with populations of 250,000 or greater, according to the 12th annual Digital Cities survey conducted by the Center for Digital Government and Government technology.
City officials cited several examples of Long Beach's technological innovation, including a system that combines law enforcement data with real-time camera feeds to improve public safety, a new program that enables residents to submit code enforcement requests and obtain some permits online and an online simulation tool that educated the public on the city's budget challenges.
Vice Mayor Robert Garcia said the recognition shows the efficiencies technology can create during lean budget times.
"I think those types of technologies, investments that council is making, are making a big difference in the city," Garcia said.
He proposed a city smartphone app that was launched in October 2010. The software, Go Long Beach, has processed more than 22,000 service requests, with a 97 percent closure rate, according to officials.
Garcia also has pushed for an upgrade of the city website that he says will become a 24-hour City Hall, with residents, visitors and business owners able to accomplish many everyday tasks online.
The $150,000 effort was funded with oil surplus funds last year over the objections of several of Garcia's colleagues.
Garcia said he expects the new website to debut next year.
(CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story listed the wrong figure for the amount of money Long Beach contributed to upgrade its website.)

'Adelphia is expected to continue talks with other cable entities, including Time Warner and the Madison Square Garden Network. Time Warner owns systems in Rochester and presumably would want to carry the Sabres on its own regional sports network and disband Empire. MSG would also be capable of carrying Sabres games into the Buffalo market. If it fails to sell Empire, Adelphia also could put the games on a local access channel and drop its regional sports network.'

One of the benefits of yoga is you can do it anywhere. It requires very little equipment — not even a mat if you've got a good towel or a comfortable surface. The only thing you really need for yoga is your body, your breath, and your mental presence. But let's face it — having a cool, Zen-like space helps a lot. YogaFox in Delray Beach provides just such a space while focusing its teaching on what's truly important. Located on Federal Highway just north of the happening downtown area, YogaFox has the comfortable and homey air of, well, a private home but all the Nag Champa, Tibetan-prayer-flag aesthetic you're looking for. Gaze up at the open, wood-beamed ceiling as you lie in savasana or meditate on colorful tapestries as your legs tremble to hold Warrior II. It is the most perfect place to do yoga in South Florida — with the possible exception of the Ganesha Garden out back, where special classes are held under the open sky. YogaFox teaches all levels of classes, from beginners to teacher training, as well as cohosts the annual YogaFest in downtown Fort Lauderdale along with the Yoga Joint Studio.
Some people are born with green thumbs. In David McLean's case, he was born with emerald hands. His garden — an Eden just south of downtown Fort Lauderdale — is brimming with all things tropical, lush, and fragrant. McLean is a master at growing what grows best in South Florida and is happy to share his knowledge during his popular "walk and talks" on the first Saturday of every month. Through the seasons, you'll find native tomatoes and blueberries, thornless blackberries, and Okinawa spinach for sale — all of which will thrive in your own garden with a little love (and some of McLean's advice). But if the last of your Everglades tomatoes dies in the swamp of summer, fear not. You can still get your fix at the 11th Street Annex, a restaurant literally surrounded by the garden that serves some of the edibles McLean grows. Talk about farm to table.
(After this item was printed, New Times learned that David McLean passed away June 5 at age 79. In lieu of sending flowers, please plant something native in his memory.)
Sure, you could send your kid to a normal camp, one of those sunny compounds with a Native American name that is ironically full of white Jewish kids. There, he'll shoot arrows, erect tents, get tick bites on all areas of his body, and do all that other typical camp stuff. What fun. But do you want your kid to be just like the others — some sunburnt little thing who knows how to fashion a weapon out of a flat rock and a blade of grass? Or do you want your kid to be different? Well, the Fort Lauderdale Children's Theatre specializes in different. While the rest of those smelly little terrors are busy building a fire out of their parents' antique furniture, your kid is going to be dancing, singing, and acting. Imagine it. Your own little Jean Valjean putting on one-man shows when the power goes out. For kids in grades 2 through 10, the FLCT's summer camp will teach all aspects of theater, from acting to stage design. And at the end of the program, campers put on a real live play with costumes, sets, and pizzazz for their families and friends. Send your kids to the Fort Lauderdale Children's Theatre. You owe it to your furniture.
For almost 30 years, Cinema Paradiso in Fort Lauderdale has been the home of FLIFF — the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival. This monthlong fall festival is no slouch, playing films that are making their world premieres or have played only at Cannes; films that will go on to win Academy Awards and the fawning adulations of movie critics and film students. The rest of the year, Gregory von Hausch, president and CEO of FLIFF, and his team carefully curate the weekly offerings of films you won't find anywhere else in South Florida. Cinema Paradiso's home theater is tucked behind a parking garage on the south side of the New River — a spot you'd never find if you weren't looking for it. The former church was there long before most of the rest of modern downtown, and you just don't move out of a building that cool for any reason. But this year, the theater expanded to a second, more easily found location in downtown Hollywood. This new spot is located within walking distance of bars and restaurants. "It's close enough [to the original location] for us to manage and far enough to reach a new audience that wouldn't necessarily be willing to journey to Fort Lauderdale a couple of times a week," von Hausch says. "And Hollywood is kind of central to gain traffic from Dania and Miami. We do draw people from those areas for FLIFF, so we figured they would be interested." Though the second location is actually a little smaller, with 110 seats, better daytime parking allows for matinees and more screenings. With this second location, both FLIFF and Cinema Paradiso are sure to continuing growing, bringing brilliant independent film to a public overloaded with blockbusters.
There are plenty of hotels for well-heeled socialites armed with martinis and red-lipped smiles who are hunting for husband number two. But Lago Mar is designed for that well-heeled socialite after baby number two. Located just off the main A1A strip in Fort Lauderdale, the comfy hotel has the bay in its front yard and a private beach in its back. And though the accommodations may seem a bit mundane, the beach will play center stage for the Broadway-caliber play that is your Fort Laudy beach vacay. There are multiple pools where little children come to get wet and big kids can swim a few laps. Tipsy moms will drool over volleyball-playing musclemen; Grandma can try to live through one more vacation at the shuffleboard court; and hubbies will blow off some new-dad no-sex steam at the tennis courts. Probably the coolest thing about the family-friendly hotel is the Soda Shop downstairs. It'll give you a chance to gorge on pizza while your kids get high on ice cream, and Nana can talk about the old days buying soda at Woolworth's for a nickel. Lago Mar offers something you once thought impossible: a chill family trip.
Girls rule; boys drool. That's the sorry lesson to be learned in the water closets of Coastars, the coffee bar at the heart of Lake Worth's South J St., AKA Little Bushwick. Owners Chris Palacio and Liz Brach figured they had a crowd of young creative types on their hands and said, Hey! Let's leave pens and crayons in the restrooms and see what our young geniuses come up with. What could be bad? But their fond hopes came half-undone. The boys sank to the occasion, rock-bottom, Greyhound-latrine style, unleashing their inner yobbos in crude and filthy texts about body parts and fluids. The girls, however, rose to the occasion, poetically and philosophically. Their walls are even now festooned with instruction and mystery and wit: "Please be responsible for the energy you bring into a room," says the graffiti. "There's gold beneath the highway." "Now something so sad has hold of us that the breath leaves and we can't even cry." "The guy at the counter is cute." Visually, symbols and caricatures are smattered through the lettering for an intricate and sprawling rainbow mash to rival a Persian miniature. Will J Street's boys redeem themselves one day and put their restroom walls to better use? Maybe. But they'll have to bring their own crayons. Chris and Liz took theirs away and scrubbed the walls clean.
