Jennifer Holloway Photo by David Cross When mezzo-soprano Jennifer Holloway first shared the stage with Placido Domingo at the Teatro Real Madrid in April 2008, performing as Irene in Handel's "Tamerlano," she was almost too exhausted to even notice. Her first child was just weeks old, and Holloway was on a whirlwind tour of performing in Europe's top opera houses. "I was so nonplussed with everything because in my mind I was just kind of a mom," says Holloway (BMus '00). These days, Holloway fully appreciates her rapid rise to fame in the opera world, speaking about it as if she can't quite believe it's her own life. "The houses I've sung at—I sang a title role at Glyndebourne!" she says, referring to the famous Glyndebourne Festival Opera that has been held in East Sussex, England, since 1934. "That doesn't happen! To have Placido recognize me in the street and say, 'Hi, Jen, how are you doing?'—what is that all …

Are These Chairs Worth Trying To Repair?

Hello! I am not sure if those are Conant Ball chairs, but I did find this link for you look at, which has a picture of the stamp of authenticity that should be on the underside of the chair: http://ancientpoint.com/inf/77987-2_mid_century_russel_wright_conant_ball_dining_chairs.html
However, even if they aren't Conant Ball, you seem to really like them and that is all that matters in the end. If you are very fond of them and they make you happy, then they will be a great addition to your home.
I like those chairs. I think they are worth the price -- but you probably will have to do a complete refinish on them to remove that black paint. Shouldn't be a very tough job though, and think how lovely they will look after.
Beautiful maple (?)chairs
Colleges and universities have chairs with their emblem on the back like yours.
I wouldn't paint them.
I'd look up who's saying that is.
Leave the stamp and use them as is. They look interesting with the stamp.
Why would you remove the paint? I'd pay extra for it...
I'm with suzee and suemari. These chairs have a story, and if they were mine I wouldn't erase it.
But, you know, if the photos are reliable, they're easily worth well more than 50 bucks, so it's hard to wrong whatever you end up doing with 'em.
Nice chairs. I would think they're worth it. If you're interesting in painting them you might find alternatives other than stripping.
Just a quick note on Citristrip. While it appears safer than other strippers, it's not "non-toxic". The MSDS information and precautions are listed on their site. So, as always, work safely.
I have no idea, but I say go for it! They look amazing!
These crest and motto remind me a lot of a college/university seal. My father-in-law was given a very similarly styled chair (complete with crest on the back) years ago from his college.
I think cobaltblue is probably right -- the Latin is an excerpt from John 3:11 ("For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.") Between that and the scales of justice, I'm guessing maybe the seal of a Catholic school?
And as others have said: I love the story and the provenance could be interesting. But you already know that you love them, so I think they're "worth it" in any case.
You never know where you find amazing design. Moller (which these are not..) did tons of chairs for religious institutions. The stamp seems religious but it could have been applied after creation. They look danish but without more information it's hard to tell. Usually the quality of production is a sign on Danish vs American.
You can always try designaddict, if you're nice about it the message boards can be a life saver on identification. I wouldn't mention removing the marking or painting them, they'll eat you alive for that.
Carpe cathedra!!
(seize the chair(s))
Why is this kind of deal NEVER available in my area?!? The lines are amazing,Id LEAP on them for $50!
maybe a squirt of oil soap would be enough
I'd say definitely worth buying for 50. You could as other learned posters have said just clean them up using sensitive methods, or if preferred do something more daring, like the ombré makeover featured elsewhere on this site (if memory serves). I think they are beautiful as they are though, with a little TLC added. If part of a dining table set, perhaps at the head, with contrasting chairs along the sides, or as occasional chairs with contrasting scatter cushions in block coloured wool, or perhaps with a mid century pattern.

Problems persist with Ohio's election system and the Buckeye State is in desperate need of reform.
Mary Jo Kilroy squeaked out a 2,311 vote victory in Ohio's U.S. 15th district, but only after a monumental struggle over counting provisional ballots.
A shocking 10% of all Ohio voters on Election Day 2008 were forced to vote provisionally. This was the most provocative statement made at Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's Ohio Elections Summit 2008 on December 2 at the Ohio Historical Society.
The location was telling. Lawrence Norden, legal counsel for the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law, informed Ohio Elections Summit attendees that they were at a "first of its kind" historical summit.
Professor Ned Foley, Director of Election Law at OSU's Moritz College of Law, documented Ohio's 'over-reliance" on provisional ballots in the 2008 presidential election. Ohio had 181,000 provisional voters, a shocking 3.2% of all voters in the state and an even more startling 10% of all voters on Election Day. He noted the contrast to Missouri, where only .02% voted provisionally (7,000 voters) and the .01% in Virginia (4,500 voters). Foley stressed that an Ohio voter was 16 times more likely than a Missouri voter to be forced to cast a provisional ballot, and 32 times more likely than a Virginia voter.
In other key battleground states, the results were similar. In Indiana and Michigan, only .01% of voters were provisional, in Florida it was .04%. Ohio is a bizarre statistical "outlier." Foley stated that the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), intended provisional voting to be for "isolated mistakes, not a systematic, routine process."
Both Donita Judge, staff attorney for the Advancement Project, and Dr. Norm Robbins of the Greater Cleveland Voter Coalition, attempted to put a human face, with pigment, on the provisional voter problem. Judge reminded the audience that most of the provisional voters were at the right polling location, but simply at the wrong precinct. Robbins cited detailed evidence collected by his coalition that found up to 50% of provisional voters are forced to vote the second-class ballot simply because they moved between elections.
Only 20,000 Ohio voters were given provisional ballots because they weren't registered, putting us in line with Missouri, Virginia, Indiana, Michigan and Florida. The remaining 160,000 or so provisional voters were registered to vote, but in the wrong precinct or flagged because they moved.
The Columbus Free Press reported that up to an estimated 35,000 voters had been incorrectly flagged in Franklin County poll books because of returned mail from the Board of Elections. With proof of address these voters should have voted a regular ballot. Some of these voters will have their ballots thrown out after signing an affidavit and being verified as a registered voter because of technicalities such as not printing their name on the outside of the ballot envelope, as a result of the Ohio Supreme Court ruling.
Donita Judge vigorously defended Judge Algernon Marbley's rule to count 1,000 disputed provisional ballots in Ohio's 15th district Congressional race. Marbley ruled that since there was no allegations of fraud and that the ballots weren't being counted because of "poll worker error," that votes should be counted since the voters were known and eligible to vote.
The Federal 6th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Marbley's decision and sent the case to the Ohio Supreme Court, a court stacked 7-0 with Republicans after the U. S. Chamber of Commerce laundered anonymous illegal money into the high court races.
On December 5 the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that the 1,000 provisional ballots marred by poll worker technical errors could not be counted.
The convener of this historical Summit, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, was cautious in her opening remarks, endorsing "citizen-run elections" in Ohio and the "smooth and even" application of Ohio law.
Brunner pointed out that any reforms discussed at the Summit would have to be funded by county commissioners.
Brunner made a brief call for easier voting by various means, advocating both the increased use of mail-in and early voting. She noted that there were "one-hour wait times" in Ohio on Election Day and that "back-up paper ballots" played a positive role in reducing even longer lines. Brunner conceded that "poll worker training" proved inadequate and that many counties were plagued by "lack of a high-speed scanner" in counting their early votes.
In a revealing statement, Brunner noted that the national patterns of litigation and challenges brought primarily by the GOP, "all took place in battleground states" only.
Brunner's Summit consciously included election officials who differed sharply with her assessments. Jeff Wilkinson, Deputy Director of the Richland County Board of Elections (BOE), led the first panel on Election Administration by attacking paper ballots and Brunner's "two-line system" which allowed for Ohio voters to choose paper ballots over the plastic and highly fallible e-voting machines. Wilkinson claimed that voters in Richland were "willing to wait for machines" rather than vote on paper and claimed Brunner's two-line system cost his county $24,000 in administrative costs. He stated that only 708 out of 14,700 voters chose paper over the machines.
Al Siegal, a presiding judge from Delaware County, criticized Franklin County's "two-line system" by pointing out that many more voters could be accommodate din voting on paper by simply adding long tables instead of the existing system of one clipboard in a cubicle.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State David Farrell defended Brunner's two-line system, pointing out that the Secretary of State's office reimbursed county BOE's for the cost of printing paper ballots and that the "two lines come in handy" if there's a misallocation of voting machines. Farrell said the BOEs were directed to publicly vote on the e-voting machine allocation to avoid the infamous Franklin County 2004 race-based allocation that caused inner city voters to wait up to seven hours in line.
Dr. Ted Allen, an Associate Professor at the Ohio State University, proved the highlight of the first panel. Allen, an expert in "waiting line analysis theory," said that voters using machines, on average, took two minutes longer to vote than those on paper. Also, had there been no early voting and had Franklin County used the same number of machines as in 2004, the lines would have been as long as 30 hours. Even with the new machines, had there been no early voting, there would have been lines up to 15 hours long. Allen concluded that paper "pushes down waiting times."
Leading advocates of non-transparent e-voting machines, like the Columbus Dispatch and Dan Tokaji of the ACLU, argued that there are higher rates of undervotes on paper ballots. Rosenfield and others countered by saying that scanners at the precincts could alert voters who are using paper that there's been an undervote. The vote could be scanned, as it is in many places, immediately after voting and the undervote would be flagged allowing the voter to cast a vote in the race in question.
Peg Rosenfield, Election Specialist for the League of Women Voters, started off by demanding that Ohio "go back to the signature." She argued that the signature is the gold standard of verification of voter identity, not the often privately-controlled electronic poll books that cause record numbers of provisional voters in the Buckeye State. Rosenfield also strongly advocated "random audits" after the election.
Cuyahoga County, famous for its elections disasters in 2004 and 2006, is now under the direction of Director Jane Platten. Unlike past Cuyahoga County BOE directors, Platten advocates full transparency and outlined how her county set up "hotlines" for stakeholders including all the minor parties on the ballot so they could directly access BOE officials on Election Day.
The large red elephant in the room was tiptoed around in the afternoon session on technology and security. Candace Hoke, Director of the Center for Election Excellence, said that "Brunner made security front and center" with the Everest Report. Brunner commissioned the Everest Report to study the vulnerability of electronic and computer voting and poll registration in the Ohio election system. The Everest Report noted that while the e-voting machines are vulnerable to hacking and manipulation, the voter registration databases, in the hands of private partisan vendors like Triad in more than half the counties in Ohio lack any security measures or standards.
When asked early on by this Free Press reporter why private partisan for-profit vendors would be allowed to secretly write the source code for the machines and control the poll books, the panelists on administration looked puzzled, although Wilkinson did point out that people could observe the accuracy and logic test. He failed to mention that the accuracy and logic test does not test for security.
Bob Fitrakis attended the Ohio Election Summit as an election attorney for the Green Party and head of the Election Protection Project for the Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism, funded by the Threshold Foundation.
Problems persist with Ohio's election system and the Buckeye State is in desperate need of reform.

text: The summer between my freshman and sophmore year in high school I worked at my step-dads concrete company to earn enough money to buy my first car. I can't remember how much I saved but with the money and a motorcycle for a trade I bought a 1951 Ford Custom ( two-door) Victoria car.It had a white top and black on the bottom.It had custom spot lights on each side.It had a flathead V-8 and an automatic transmission. It was a slick car and I loved it while I had it. I wish I had it now all restored. I'm sixty-nine years old now so I doubt I'll ever find one to own again. But it's fun to dream about owning a classic.

To my knowledge the leather dps goggles have been opened to druids.
Now here is hoping there will be upgrade schmatics for these goggles next raid tier.
I dunno. I liked the gear boost that the goggles made in BC, but it was always disappointing when I'd get a new helm drop and it was never anything good. I used the same goggles from Kara up to Kael (which is when the EZ mode patch hit, so I stopped raiding).
I never raided in T6 content, but even then there was a schematic for even better goggles.
As soon as something better came along in Wrath, I stashed them in my bag as fast as I could.
I still use my goggles when I mount with the help of outfitter though. Those crystal clouds are too good to pass up.
I'm just not looking forward to putting on those pink-lensed eye-sores again.

Bayou Shuttle Service transports runners, surfers, cyclists, and adventurers toting rented kayaks and canoes to nearby trails and beaches for guided tours and lessons or DIY excitement. Experienced guides lead history-packed kayak tours such as the Houston Skyline Tour, which floats past panoramic views of towering skyscrapers, or the Adventures Tour, which increases heart rates with rushing rapids and an elevation drop more thrilling than jumping down the laundry chute at grandma's house. During all-day surfing lessons, students hop aboard shuttles from downtown Houston to Surfside Beach, where instructors teach nascent surfers to stand up and surf the waves. Bayou Shuttle Service also offers overnight surf trips, where pupils can sit beside campfires under the stars and tell scary stories about crab ghosts.
In its earliest incarnations, stand-up paddleboarding wasn't a sport. It was just something surfers in Hawaii did to reach far-away waves or cross huge hotel bathtubs. Over time, the practice evolved into an activity in its own right, and one of the fastest-growing water sports in the world. The team at Island Paddle is fully on top of the trend, hosting 5K SUP races. Of course, man cannot live on stand-up paddle-boards alone, so the team outfits folks with all manner of self-propelled aquatic vehicles, including kayaks. They even have the water crafts delivered so patrons can row their boards on whichever waves they like.
At each of its 31 area locations, the YMCA of Greater Houston pursues a mission to bring health, wellness, and personal growth to communities. Kids leap into activities ranging from swim lessons and youth sports to a teen Youth & Government program that stirs up confidence and leadership abilities in students, preparing them for mudslinging student-council campaigns.
Zumba, ballroom dance, and Les Mills group exercise classes shake up adult workout routines, as complimentary childcare frees up parents to pursue fitness goals. Meanwhile, adult sport leagues such as basketball and racquetball result in friendly competition and hyper-literate team names inspired by obscure philosophers.
Malibu Water Park isn't your average water park. The six-acre outdoor swimming hole tucks neatly into scenic surroundings. Happy shouts echo across sandy beaches and verdant foliage. Three waterslides zig-zag down the banks of the lake, sending riders careening into the water like boring books thrown from a sailboat. For the younger set, there are interactive mushroom-shaped spray features in the shallow water. Colorful kayaks, canoes, and paddle boats slip out onto the 50-acre lake, whose tree-lined shores beg to be explored. On the weekends, guests circle around bonfires and enjoy BYOB picnics at available barbecue pits while bands play. Catering is available upon request.
Some of Marshall Hosea's earliest memories involve water lapping gently about the ankles of his oversized boots as he waded into a river or creek for some classic fly-fishing with his father and grandfather. What started as a childhood pastime became a lifelong passion, and Marshall began experimenting with all kinds of boats to enhance his fishing experience. He loved feeling close to nature and the water as he cast lines and baited hooks, and he found the kayak offered him the best experience. As a bonus, the paddle-driven craft left no trace upon the natural beauty he so loved.
Now, he teaches others the joy of kayaking and fishing as the owner and head guide of Texas Kayak Guide. He takes passengers down rivers and creeks, or skimming across bayous and bays, showing them raccoons hunting shellfish, osprey darting into the water to snatch fish, and porpoises swimming alongside the quiet craft. While on the water, he also teaches the finer points of fishing, including everything from how to spot a fish to changing one's tactics to match the seasonal behavior of one's prey.
A crescent moon casts its soft glow over the waterfront, shining just enough light to illuminate a deer as it scurries back into the forest. Nearby, a group of kayakers float silently, watching as the event unfolds. Packed with wildlife and winding waterways, the Armand Bayou serves as the perfect playground for Pinky's Water Sports' stand-up paddleboards and kayaks. On guided trips, these vessels float through the bayou as its waters twinkle beneath the colors of dawn, dusk, or the moon's strobe lights. Pinky's also facilitates motorized excursions with rentals of Jet Skis and fishing boats.

Imouto wa Shishunki (My Adolescent Sister) is a 4koma manga by Ujiie Tozen. It is about 18-year old Ordinary High-School Student Shinji Jyoushima and his very perverted 16-year old sister, Kanami. Like many 4komas, it is a Slice of Life comedy, dealing with the daily life of the siblings. It's humor is mostly of the sexual kind, mostly delivered by Kanami, who often has nothing else on her mind than sex (although she isn't the only one who seems like that).
This manga provides examples of:

WHYYYYY??? I mean, did they even really TALK to each other?? Really, I mean, sure, we don't see what they're doing ALL the time but…GAH. BRAIN. YOU'RE FIRED.
Honestly, you've cracked Inuyasha, Ouran, Vampire Chronicles, Harry Potter, and Hetalia! Do you NEVER stop?
*brain laughs and runs away*
*edit* So apparently people were beginning to believe that I didn't approve of this pairing when in actually I ADORE IT. My apologizes for making people believe otherwise.
The yelling at my brain is really a reference to my ability to fall for crack pairings as referenced in the post before this: http://kmuttpaw.tumblr.com/post/4702748343/stars-i-cant-win What can I say? Once you go crack (pairing), you never go back.
Hopefully I didn't cause too much mass confusion. I may want to rule the world but not through misunderstandings.

The Detroit Lions brought in Reggie Bush to bolster their running game. They already have a elite wide receiver, arguably the best in the league, and a more than capable quarterback in Matthew Stafford. The Lions are now very happy they brought in Bush after he helped them get off to a 1-0 start.
Bush touched the ball 25 times in his debut and piled up 191 all-purpose yards, 90 on the ground and 101 yards receiving. The Lions beat the Vikings 34-24. Unfortunately he picked up a couple of injuries along the way hurting his groin in the first quarter and suffering a dislocated thumb while trying to catch a pass.
"It was facing the wrong direction," Bush said, via Justin Rogers of MLive.com. "Thankfully I was able to just tape it up and carry the ball in my right hand."
That would have you thinking he was banged up
Bush said to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio after the game, "I'm not banged up."
"It will probably start killing me in a little bit, once everything wears off," Bush said according to MLive.com.
Despite the injuries he toughed it out anyways.
"That's what those guys do," head coach Jim Schwartz said. "No guy is going to come out because of a little thing like that."

Auroras Most well known as the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and Aurora Australis (Southern Lights), auroras are some of the most beautiful naturally occurring phenomenon that our planet has to offer. Earth possesses a magnetic field, basically an electric dipole (having both North and South) tilted at 11 degrees with respect to the rotational axis. Auroras are caused by radiation from the sun, known as solar wind, interacting with this magnetic field. Charged ions are produced in the sun's corona, and are added to the solar wind. The magnetic field is strongest at Earth's poles, and that is why auroras are typically confined to these regions. Charged particles form the sun occasionally get caught in Earth's magnetic field as they pass by and interact. Once they are trapped in the upper atmosphere, they react with other gases and produce the famous lights. Collisions between the highly charged solar wind particles and atmospheric molecules causes energy emission, visible as light. Electrons in the molecules are excited to higher energy levels and then release photons when they fall back to lower energy levels. Each different reaction, causes by different ions colliding with air particles, causes a different color to result. For example, neutral nitrogen particles will create a purple-pink color, while ionic nitrogen results in a blue color. The most common aurora, a yellowish-green color, is causes by an ion crashing into oxygen at low altitudes.
A nearby star in our galaxy is pummeling a companion planet with massive amounts of X-rays, roughly 100,000 times the amount that reach earth from our sons. The X-rays are so powerful that they are actually evaporating 5 million tons of matter every second. The planet (known as CoRoT-2b) is roughly 1,000 times the size of earth.
The image to the left is actually the star and the image to the right is an artists rendition of how this phenomenon may actually appear.
Kepler-16b: A Planet with Two Suns
Illustrated Video Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech, T. Pyle; Acknowledgement: djxatlanta
Explanation: If you stay up long enough, you can watch both suns set. Such might be a common adage from beings floating in the atmosphere of Kepler 16b, a planet recently discovered by the space-based Kepler satellite. The above animated video shows how the planetary system might look to a visiting spaceship. Although multiple star systems are quite common, this is the first known to have a planet. Because our Earth is in the orbital plane of both stars and the planet, each body is seen to eclipse the others at different times, producing noticeable drop offs in the amount of light seen. The frequent eclipses have given Kepler 16b the most accurate mass and radius determination for a planet outside our Solar System. To find a planet like Saturn in an orbit like Venus — so close to its binary star parents — was a surprise and will surely become a focus of research.

I'm sure everybody has heard before now that Sean Taylor died of his wounds last night. I couldn't actually bring myself to say anything until now. And all I can muster right now is that Riggo's Rag, its readers, and the entire Redskins community sends its love to the Taylor family, especially his little daughter who will grow up without a dad now.
Later today I'm going to make a post sharing my favorite Sean Taylor moments, and I'm hoping you will do the same. Feel free to comment to this post or the next one with any memories of Sean.

Mise en Scene music video shoot late last night for their song, "Hey Velvet."
The crew was made up of Jodi and Stef, filmmakers Chris and Nick from Deluxe Design in Calgary, Brock from Shot at the Dark, costume stylist Susan Clarahan, and photographer Manu Buechting. They met before the sun came up to start rolling at the beach behind Tunnel Mountain.
As Manu put it:
"I was so happy to be able to join Mise en Scene for the shoot. We got up early in the morning and waited for the sun to rise up at the beach. Susan dressed the girls up – it was freezing cold, but a lot of fun! I took endless pictures and watched the guys filming. Jodi and Stef enjoyed the shoot – we had some funny moments and Jodi's coat caught on fire for a second, but it wasn't serious! The highlight of the day was the fireworks…they were even heard downtown! I wish I could have more days like yesterday!"

ACE Fitness Nutrition Manual
The ACE Fitness Nutrition Manual is an essential text for health and fitness professionals new to the industry and veterans looking to expand the breadth of services they offer clients. It includes a wealth of knowledge and skills to help professionals maximize their expertise in nutrition while staying within the bounds of scope of practice. Registered dietician Dr. Natalie Digate Muth, MPH, offers her insight on teaching clients to read and compare nutrition labels, instructions for effectively obtaining diet history and using it to facilitate goal setting, and methods of preparing simple and healthy meals.
Natalie Digate Muth with her
children, Mariella and Tommy
"Eat Your Vegetables" and other mistakes parents make:
New book redefines how to raise healthy eaters
How do you get a picky eater who refuses everything to ask for fruits and vegetables? How do you get children to try more nutritious foods when all they want is something sweet and salty? How do you raise healthy eaters without constant mealtime battles?
Dr. Natalie DigateMuth, pediatrician, registered dietitian, and mother of two, shows parents how to – step by step – shape the child psyche to help kids embrace fruits, vegetables and myriad other healthful foods without constant mealtime battles, bribes and downright coercion. The strategies, tailored to a child's age and development, are based on scientifically-proven research, real-life anecdotes and expert advice.
Mary Saph Tanaka
"As parents, we all struggle with how to get our children to actually want to eat a healthy, balanced, diet," said Muth. "As a formerly obese child, a mother of a once-picky eater and a pediatrician acutely aware of the epidemics of obesity and inactivity in our children, I am highly motivated to help children and parents work together – free of mealtime battles -- to adopt healthy eating and activity habits."
Each chapter is followed by simple, delicious, and kid-friendly recipes developed by Dr. Mary Saph Tanaka, pediatrician and talented amateur chef, that help readers immediately turn the information contained within the chapters into action – starting with the next meal or snack.

Praise for the Book
"With many of today's children being raised on fast food nutrition and couch potato fitness, Dr. Muth gives parents direction in this step by step guide for shaping a child's psyche to help them embrace and enjoy fruits and vegetables without battles or bribes."
"…a voluminous resource, brimming with concrete ideas, suggestions, and recipes. Dr. Muth does this all without 'preaching' to parents. She manages to communicate a great deal of information with a warm and understanding tone, bridging the perspectives of pediatrician and parent. Thus, her book will not alienate parents who may have initially had more difficulty getting their children to eat more healthy foods. I will recommend the book to all of my parent-friends."
"Natalie Muth has studied the literature and the expert recommendations for infants and toddlers and has synthesized and written an accessible and easy to follow book for parents, grandparents and pediatricians. This book is destined to be the essential guide for parents on how to feed their young children. After reading this book, meals will more likely be healthy and a happy family time."
"…a scientifically supported, commonsense approach to improving the overall health and well-being of our nation's youth… This book is a must read for any parent interested in helping their children experience the joys of healthy eating and leading a physically active lifestyle."
"…This book is a 'must read' for parents (or grandparents)—whether they have an infant, a toddler, or a school-aged child—and a wonderful resource for childcare providers."
" Eat Your Vegetables is so full of resources and sound advice that even a reader who is not making one of the identified 'mistakes' will still find much to learn and use here. Several times while reading the book, I would stop and ask myself, 'Why haven't I heard about this book in the media before? It's so awesome!'"
"'Eat Your Vegetables and other mistakes parents make' is the best book I've read that helps parents manage the food warfare struggles that sometimes confront well-meaning parents, while trying to raise a healthy normal weight child."
"Technically not a cookbook (although recipes are included at the end of each section), this book serves more as a how-to guide. The author, a pediatrician, registered dietician and mom, gives parents advice on building life-long healthy eaters without the traditional tricks, bribes and mealtime battles...The best piece of advice I came away with? It's not so much about what your child eats but more about your approach. And my new approach includes refraining from uttering, "Eat your vegetables!" As I incorporate strategies I learned from this book. I'm pretty confident that our family is developing healthy patterns and eating a variety of produce."

most people wore varsity hats or tried to be Julia Roberts or something.
I dressed up as Lake Lanier.
I wore blue clothes and my mom wrapped me in blue saran wrap from head to toe. I put on a snorkling set and taped multi-colored paper fishies all over my torso, before attaching a plastic boat to one shoulder and a rubber duck to the other. and I walked around all day, carrying a fishing pole.
I was pretty badass.
they had to cut me out of the saran wrap before gym.

I dont know if this has already been discussed, if it has, sorry
Recently, when I try and view in URL in IE it will pass the request over to Avant/FF.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
I dont know if this has already been discussed, if it has, sorry
is IE set to your default browser?
Rpgfreak wrote:is IE set to your default browser?
Nope, Avant, but even when I enter a URL into the IE address bar it passes the context over to Avant.
It even happens inside Windows Explorer, when I'm typing direct paths, "C:\" avant catches the request.
It never used to happen.
YES! The exact same thing is happening to me. Everytime I type a URL in or launch a bookmark another browser window (whatever the default browser is) opens. If I click a hyperlink, no problem.
I went back to a restore point and everything was fine. Then it started happening again. Did a scan with AdAware and nothing. I'm thinking that it started again after an automatic update from MS.
okay try Hitman Pro
it's all in one, anti spyware, adware, trojans, etc.
and it's free, and it's in Dutch, English and German, u should really try this, it clears ALL crap from your PC
You may not have any spyware at all, but may have a fully patched XP system. The same thing was happening to me last week (all links in IE opening in FF) and was driving me crazy...turns out there was a problem with a Windows hotfix (if you've previously installed IE7...). See here:
Hope that helps,
Worked like a charm! I am glad to be thanking you in your direction.

Is the High-Tech IPO Really Back?
The high-tech IPO is a mysterious beast. It's attractive, seductive and irresistible. But it's also fickle, temperamental and not always well-behaved. Still, investors have a difficult time resisting the high-tech IPO even when the fundamentals aren't solid or even exist. … Continue reading

"Why Marines Fight is a candid collection of courage and esprit de corps that serves as a reminder that when America needs a real hero, it doesn't need to look beyond its military." —The San Antonio Express News
United States Marines, for more than two centuries, have been among the world's fiercest and most admired of warriors. They have fought from the Revolutionary War to Afghanistan and Iraq, in famous battles that have become the bone and sinew of American lore. But why do Marines fight? Why do they fight so well?
James Brady, to some an unofficial "poet laureate" of the Corps, interviews combat Marine veterans from World War II to Afghanistan, and their replies are in their own individual voices, unique and powerful. What results is an authentically American story of a country at war, as seen through the eyes of its warriors; a story of the motivations and emotions behind this compelling title question. Included are accounts from Senator James Webb and his Corporal son, Jim; New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly; Yankee second baseman (and Marine fighter pilot) Jerry Coleman, and of teachers, fireman, authors, cops, Harvard football players, and just plain grunts.
Why Marines Fight is a ruthlessly candid book about professional killers not ashamed to recall their doubts as well as exult in their savagely triumphant battle cries. A book of weight and heft that Marines, and Americans everywhere, will want to read, and may find impossible to forget.
Praise for James Brady:
Why Marines Fight
"Brady explores both the emotions and motivations of the men who willingly run toward guns. Read this and you'll be steeled to stare down your own fears." —Men's Health
"For anyone who wants to know how the U.S. Marine team works in war and peace, this book is indispensable." —Booklist (starred review)
"Brady's book succeeds in delivering honest, front-row accounts of war--the gritty details and the hard realities--and provides a veritable smorgasbord of answers to the question of why Marines fight." --Chattanooga Times Free Press
"These inspirational tales cover as many Marine experiences as Brady can pack in." --Kirkus Reviews
The Scariest Place in the World
"[A] graceful, even elegant, and always eloquent tribute to men at arms in a war that, in a way, never ended." --Kirkus Reviews
"James Brady has done it again. A riveting and illuminating insight into a dark corner of the world." --Tim Russert
The Coldest War
"His story reads like a novel, but it is war reporting at its best---a graphic depiction, in all its horrors, of the war we've almost forgotten." --Walter Cronkite
"A marvelous memoir. A sensitive and superbly written narrative that eventually explodes off the pages like a grenade in the gut . . .taut, tight, and telling." --Dan Rather
The Marine
"In The Marine, James Brady again gives us a novel in which history is a leading character, sharing the stage in this case with a man as surely born to be a gallant warrior as any knight in sixth-century Camelot." --Kurt Vonnegut
The Marines of Autumn
"Mr. Brady knows war, the smell and the feel of it." --The New York Times

UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey opens up to Inside MMA about who she would like to see win Tate vs Zingano and what she thinks about transgender fighter Fallon Fox.
Although Rousey sounds a little Polly Anna, she is correct. Fallon Fox had testicles for most for her life. During her physical growth and development, her system was flowing with testosterone. She was a dude everywhere but in her thoughts. Whacking off the jewels and pecker does not make her a woman for fight purposes. That said, I still think she would be a good match for Cyborg who has cycled enough steroids to more closely even the playing field.
I agree with everything you said , I don't like it when she talks for the most part but who the hell am I . I think she`s beautiful and so talented but when Ronda talks sometimes I just wish something would fall from the sky and land on her head.
rhonda sounding intelligent…whats up with that
What happened to only doing interviews leading up to fights? Have Matt Mitrione come out and give a more clear, clean, appropriate description of his opinion on Fallon Fox, and lift the suspension. It is bad publicity for the UFC right now, just fix the problem.
Prove a point?LMAO!!!! you freaking ONE TRICK PONY! all HYPE NO FIGHT!!! the hype train will get derailed sooner or later!!!!!
So….Nothing she said is any different than what Matt said. So….Matt was suspended because he didn't fluff his speech. Let's remember these are fighters. Let fighters talk fighter talk and let scientists talk science talk…… Let Matt Fight!!!! I'd pay to watch Matt over Urijah Faber ANY day.
ok i have to take this opportunity to point out some MORONS:
@Tankless you just dont like to hear her talk because you like guys.
@BAMBAM one trick pony….yea well she would sure as hell kick ur a$$
@mrl3 there no difference between what ronda said and matt?? matt said quote:"That is a lying, sick, sociopathic, disgusting freak unquote.( your an idiot)
and you would prefer to see matt run out of gas then get knocked out then uriah faber finishing a fight???? so that means you dont know anything about UFC or the fighters you are talking about.(your an idiot)

May 31 was Porsche Dali's birthday. We had a special birthday gift lined up for her. XLGirls fuck-mate Porsche Dali is back, back to hang low and back to ride the schlang. Back where she belongs which is on the XLGirls bed and under the cock. To Porsche, a hard man is good to find. Resplendent in her bulgingly-tight, lime-green sweater, pouty-faced Porsche is a natural-born tease but you know that you're going to eventually get some in her mouth and cunt because she can't help it. She's as needy as she is horny. In "Cum Ride This Porsche," Porsche shows how well-trained she is by getting on her hands and knees and offering her big ass and massive tits packed into a tight bra. When Porsche's bra is unhooked, her mammoth, pierced 42GG's are released for a handy inspection. She crawls over to the bed for her rewards. It's time to play fill the fuck-mate! "I love to talk dirty while a guy is fucking me," says Porsche. "I love to tell a guy to fuck me harder! There is something about that phrase that really turns me on! I also love to moan 'Fuck My Pussy,' 'I Want Your Hard Cock' or even 'Oh Fuck Me, Daddy.' Next, the video, "Cum Ride This Porsche.

Jar Tops: Universal Lids for
Mason Some Jars
We love Mason jars. We use them for all sorts of things around the kitchen. So when we first saw the prototypes for these universal lids that add even more functionality to our Mason jars, and to cleaned-out jelly and tomato sauce jars too, we were pretty impressed. Well, that prototype is now in production and for sale.
These jar caps can be screwed on to nearly any standard-sized jar to create a pitcher, an oil or vinegar cruet, a creamer, and a sugar or cocoa shaker. Each set includes:
• 1 long-handled cap
• 1 oil & vinegar cap
• 1 cocoa shaker cap
• 1 creamer cap
• 1 sugar shaker cap
We love simple ideas like these that make it easier to reuse and recycle something we already have.
• Find them! Jar tops universal lids, $25 at Unica Home

Oh these are really cool.
I actually bought these for my parents for Christmas this year. They are really cool! They use them all the time. Such a fun idea!
A little expensive. $25 for a few pieces of plastic? It does look like a good idea, but a bit pricey for those of us that are trying to save up money. I wonder if they'll make them a bit more inexpensive in the near future. My wife and I love to keep old mason jars for storage and other uses.
Wow those are SO COOL. I wonder if they'd fit my collection of vintage ball jars...
I have no idea why these are so freaking expensive. I mean I would LOVE to buy some, I can't even say how useful these would be (I have 100 jars). But with the way things are with our money situation, I can't fathom spending 25 dollars on 5 lids!
This is an incredibly wonderful idea! I have lots of Mason jars and dozens of other saved food jars. I'm surprised no one thought of this before...it was like a "d'oh" moment for me. :)
But yes, I think it is a bit pricey. Shame...I'd have bought them right this minute, too.
Shaker jar = better than my "nail holes in the lid" solution.
Throwing it out there:
Just bought these. Out of a dozen jars, only one lid fit one jar. It was a jar of IKEA jam. This made me wonder if there are different 'standard sizes' that these jars fit in Europe.
Anyway, I'm sure I'll happen upon jars which the others fit eventually, in fact I wanted to pop over to the IKEA grocery soon and pick up more of those frozen potato pancakes and elderberry cordial.
But you should maybe consider not buying these.
That largest jar may be a Mason jar, but the rest don't appear to be. The small one without the green plastic attachment definitely is not a Mason jar.
I raise this point because Mason jars have a specific lid (properly called "band") size. The term "universal lids" doesn't make sense. A jelly jar or mustard jar doesn't take the same lid as a Mason jar.
Just a word of caution to someone with a collection of Mason jars -- try before you buy.
Thanks, timkaru! That's really good to know. I wish someone made these for the mason jar sized lids!
I am disappointed that none of these tops actually seal. You would have to swap out with the original lid for storage. These would have been much more useful if they were designed for not just serving but storage as well.
@timkaru- thanks for the heads up about the non-'standard sizing'
i have a ton of mason jars, and save other jars from store bought things.
i saw these and thought they were great and wasted the $25 on them. they were a big disappointment because they do not fit anything - just one very small mouthed jar from a store-bought jelly. they are too small for american home canning jars or as far as i can tell much of anything we use here...:(
Thanks for the feedback on these, guys. I updated the post title to reflect the jar issue. These were designed in Europe, so yeah, probably a compatibility issue. Plugs, voltage, and jars, I guess...
When I bought these I found a US jar size option. I wish I could find the site I ordered them from but it was back at the beginning of Nov and cant find the link. I dont think I paid $25 for them either. Seems like they were less. When my son was little I bought a similar set for making any bottle a sippy cup and ended up with the european jar issue. Eventually I got the company to switch them out and they were dead useful. I'll keep checking for where I got the US version though....
Such a shame it doesn't work for most of you who've tried them with US sized jars..I suppose the description on the site should have clued one in that it was for Euro size: "we can now transform our beloved pickle jar from Poland into a little milk pitcher and that French Dijon Mustard jar into a sugar shaker! "
These jar tops were mentioned on Apartment Therapy two years ago here: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/green-ideas/jar-tops-by-jorre-van-ast-043983
The Royal VKB site mentions the size of the jar tops:
ø 6,2 x h 2,2 / ø 6,2 x h 3,6 / ø 6,8 x h 2,4 / ø 7,5 x h 10,5
And one poster on the 2008 AT link above wrote:
"The Jar Tops WILL fit US jars but only those who are made according to the international "Twist Off standardâ in the following diameters; 63 mm, 70mm & 58 mm."
Hope this helps!
Now I'm skeptical about how well they'll fit my vintage mason jars...
And I want the red! why don't they have that color anymore?
It would be cool if someone made lids like this that closed. Like those bag toppers that have been posted here before, that give plastic bags a snap tight lid. Now that would be useful!
Hello, I don't have these jar lids but noticed that the measurements were all posted in US sizes; wondering if maybe these would work?
Sadly, they're still $25.
whit1978: hmm, I think those are the same ones...they're by the same designer, Jorre Van Ast.

"The Outcasts of Poker Flat" p. 421
Here are some sample Level Two and Level Three Questions based on this short story.
Level Two Questions:
1. p. 425 Why doesn't John Oakhurst tell the others the truth about what Uncle Billy had done?
2. p. 428 As they lay dying, the Duchess asks Piney if she can pray. When Piney replies, "no," why does the Duchess feel relieved?
3. What about the story makes it an example of Regionalism? An example of Naturalism?
4. Which character did you like the most? Why?
5. Which character(s) in the story would you call heroic? why?
6. Why is Uncle Billy so different from the other three outcasts?
7. Did Oakhurst do the right thing making Tom wait so long to go for help?
Level Three Questions:
1. Does society still have "outcasts"? Is so, name some.
2. Do you believe in luck? How about Fate?
3. Would you elope if your parents didn't approve of who you were marrying? How would you then handle letting your family know what you had done?
4. What does this story imply about what happens to groups of strangers when disaster strikes?
5. What does it take to survive a disaster?
6. Televison "reality" shows today offer many different challenges to contestants. How is the show "Survivor" both like and unlike the survival story in "The Outcasts of Poker Flat"?
7. Several of the characters in this story are stereotypes. Many situation comedies use stereotypical characters to add humor to their shows. Who are some of your favorite stereotypical characters in comedy?
(Examples: the dumb jock, the air-head cheerleader, the nerd, the rebel, momma's boy, slacker, the eccentric, the naïve, and the bumbling fool)

Canon 7D - the floodgates are opening up
Time once again to dive into the world of the Canon 7D and see what is going on. This update is now final!
Late Edition
To make it easier for those who already read through most of the stuff below, we are posting all the new stuff in the Late Edition. The earlier posts are in the "Early Edition".
From the 50D to the 7D
There are two separate first-impression reports on the POTN forums, where photographers are going to the 7D from the 50D, and they are sharing what they found out. First up, the report from "TeamSpeed", and next, another one, which includes a couple of high ISO samples.
And a bonus round, this one is 5DMk2 vs 7D, also at the POTN forums, starting with five-points and continuing ten pages long.
More 7D action
We start with another "dark frame" thread, a popular item in the pixel-peeper circles. They are the Crocs of pixel-peeping ;-)
How about ISO 6400? How would an 18mp APS-C sensor do? It's not a comparison, just pictures and crops.
If you are tired of the 7D-talk, and want a "safe place" to discuss non-7D EOS, the Photo.net forums appear to be "safe" from 7D-mania at the moment. Here is one thread to ponder and think about - top ten Canon lenses.
Via the LL forums, here is a time-lapse with the 7D, in New York City, by Mike Kobal. Brass band included!
And some impulse buy action, which results in a few crops comparing ISO performance between the 40D and the 7D. In the POTN forums.
She's here! She's here! This photographer had his camera delivered to a National Park!
This DC Resource thread recaps some of the many ISO comparison crops posted across the interwebs. Discussion follows...
Early Edition
Ira Block is posting his early first impressions on the camera, guest-hosted at the Picture Story blog. One of the things Ira tried in his early testing was ISO 1600 of the 5DMk2 vs the 7D. He writes his opinions and includes crops of a sample portrait.
A hands-on report with the actual camera is posted at the Learn SLR blog - check it out.
The 7D had a music adventure, recording pictures at the Aqualounge. Discussion in the forums.
7D the video camera
Akihabara News features two videos taken with the 7D by Florent Porta.
Meet and greet with Philip Bloom in London, where he will be sneak-peaking his new educational DVD "Shoot Great 7D video". More on his blog.
In-forum first impressions
These are first impressions of new owners that just got their cameras and are sharing in the forums.
+ One photographer decided to run some early AF tracking tests which are discussed in the forums and samples are posted at Smugmug.
Some are very unhappy with the current 7D price.
The Pixel-Peeper Challenge
One photographer at the dpreview forums recorded 150MB worth of black frames and has made them available for anyone who wants to download and analyze.
A comparison between the 10D and 70D samples is the topic of this thread. You can also check the samples, but beware, they sting! (Why 10D you ask? That's the camera the photographer had at his disposal).
One forum user yearns for the days of "ruler pictures". Be careful what you wish for!
Availability updates
Early pre-orderers appear to be getting their cameras shipped from various retailers. As far as new inventory, we'll run a check of the stock-status matrix later on. NewEgg, which had an October-1st date on its site went from pre-order to auto-notify in-between our checks. We can't check every site every 30 seconds :)
There are good news for the lensaholics however, the 100mm f2.8L Macro with hybrid-IS lens is shipping from J&R World for $1050.
We just finished a refresh of the 7D stock-status matrix, other than the lens mentioned above, the other 7D body-parts are in pre-order status. Except for the LP-E6 battery which is shipping from multiple places (this is the battery used in the 5DMk2).

Found the same room at a different price? Tell us, and we'll offer to match it.
Agroturismo Sa Vinya Den Palerm
The Pla Roig is a representative place of Ibiza´s countryside, where the carob-trees, almond-trees and fig trees spread on the red land that gives its name. The majority of the families that reside in the place cultivate the land and raise animals. Walking along the surroundings will move the visitor to a world where it is lived in a different way.
The house dates back to the late XIX th. century and nothing in it has been modified except the former stores for the grain and corrals which have been turned into five beautiful rooms for our guests. Some of them preserve the original roofs and walls and they all maintain Ibiza´s yesteryear rural spirit . A completely equipped bath, satellite tv, access to internet, telephone, air conditioning, safe and minibar just complete the room and offer the maximum comfort to the visitor.
They are rooms full of light, where the guest is going to be able to enjoy nature´s spectacle in first hand.
All rooms have a private terrace and small garden of fragrant plants which will transport the visitor to the heart of the country where peace reigns everywhere.
Swimming pool with solarium, wide lounges, library and dining room are other corners of the house where the guest can relax and spend some time.

Today, the Kauffman Foundation launched a weekly (for all intents and purposes) video channel called "Top of Mind." It's nothing fancy; no post-production special effects, no camera wizardry. It's just me, my iPad, and my thoughts on a host of topics that are impacting the world of entrepreneurship.
Founder-turned-venture capitalist Brad Feld has some spot-on ideas about what it takes to build a community rich in startup activity. He outlines those four major characteristics in his new book, Startup Communities; they're also the subject of a recent Kauffman Foundation animated sketchbook video.
A recently released briefing paper by the Hudson Institute shows job creation from new firms at an all-time low. "The Collapse of Startups in Job Creation" paints a bleak picture where the number of new firms being created today is even smaller than two years ago when the worst of the recession ended.
Startups around the world are vying for a chance to win Global Entrepreneurship Week's Startup Open Competition. There are only five days left to submit an application and here are my top five reasons—in no particular order—why every entrepreneur who's eligible should apply.
I recently read an article on Forbes.com about the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur's spouse or significant other. It brought me back to my own entrepreneurial endeavors and reminded me of a few coping mechanisms my wife of now 23 years and I picked up along the way.
One of the genuinely rewarding parts of my job is working with entrepreneurs in a variety of industries. Meet Andrew Sell, the founder of a startup that can make an environmental difference while earning a profit.
Like many entrepreneurs, those in the life science space are partnering with universities to bring new products to market. Read some of Dan Emerson's tips for entrepreneurs on working with universities.
Last week's announcement detailing the rollout of Google's fiber optic network had the feel of a Silicon Valley big-time new product launch. It was definitely a big deal for Kansas City on both sides of the state line. Most importantly, information flowed copiously from Google about the details of their project—a welcome relief from the hitherto tight-lipped tech giant. The Google Fiber announcement lived up to the initial promise to deliver gigabit Internet speeds over a fiber optic network to homes at competitive prices.

Dita's Library
If you love vintage and you like art deco, I definitely recommend you pick up the February 2011 InStyle magazine featuring Miss Dita Von Teese's picture-perfect old Hollywood style home. Her luscious art deco library makes me swoon. Isn't it gorgeous and sumptuous? Which part do you like most? I'm leaning on the roman shades and lamp.

Whoa! That shoe rack!!! Baby! I'm in love!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous library! She just guest starred on CSI the other night. She's a lovely girl, but not sure about her acting. =O)ReplyDelete
I was just telling Wendy (Caribousmom) that I can't wait to get my bookshelves organized here at the new apartment so I can share them with everyone. My new blog, A Huge Library in a Small Apartment, will house my entire library catalog along with pics of all my shelves. I'm hoping to get started on it in the next couple of weeks.
Wall to wall shelves and over the window! Yep, the shelves are my favorite-- are those book in the window seat as well? Now that's a book lover!ReplyDelete
I'm obsessed with that library! Amazing!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love the library and its embience. And what a nice colored and comfy couch!!ReplyDelete
My dream is to have a wall to wall library--how fun! And a comfy chair to read in just makes it perfect.ReplyDelete
Okay, besides the somewhat risque picture (I had forgotten for a moment what she's known for, lol), I could totally imagine this being your home. It totally fits your style! I love it! Especially that pink kitchen! Besides the library and of course the car, it's the kitchen that's so swank. Just perfect. Thanks for sharing, that was delightful!ReplyDelete
Just beautiful! I am totally jealous!!!ReplyDelete
Love Dita! I wish I'd seen her on CSI. Didn't know she was on till late. I would totally want to get ready in the morning using that dressing table! The pink kitchen is awesome. The whole house is gorgeous. Definitely a dream house in Hollywood.ReplyDelete
Total library envy right now.... *gazes at picture yet again*ReplyDelete
Can't imagine having a library--much less one that looks like this! Beautiful . . .ReplyDelete
Ahhh I'm so in love with vintage. I hope one day I have enough money to make a beautiful art-deco house :)ReplyDelete
Ooooh, I'm excited! I actually have that In Style on the coffee table right in front of me, but I haven't read it yet! Now I know what I have to look forward to :)ReplyDelete
Walltowall: *smile* A shoe girl? My mama is one too :)ReplyDelete

2. I know right? Minus the knick knacks and stuffed animals (I'm a minimalist) I love the fabrics, furniture, walls, and floors. *le sigh* Vintage makes my heart soar. That pink kitchen made me oooo and ahhhh. O and that car! Mr. Whimsy asked me the other day if we were rich what car I would want. My response: "When I'm a baller - I roll strictly vintage." Cars from the 20s and 40s make me skip a beat.
Julie: Right? *sigh* Her house is what mine will look like when I win the lotto. ;)
Renee Ann: I have one right now but I'm still working on piecing it together :)
Melissa: Amen my friend *high five*
Katie: Yes you do! :) Isn't InStyle awesome?

i just want to crawl inside the picture and cozy up on the sofa with a book and afghan!ReplyDelete
I love that library! But her shoe cabinet is pretty amazing, too.ReplyDelete

I'll definitely be buying this magazine!ReplyDelete
It looks absolutely beautiful! I'm so jealous! I hope I have a library like that one day! :)
