Ella (6 1/2) was off training wheels last summer. We live in a cu-de-sac, so DH is the one that taught her on our street. I remember him running a lot- lol!
Owen (5 1/2) is still on training wheels. I think we will work on getting him off this summer, but he is much more cautious and fearful, so it probably won't be as easy or quick. We will probably put him on the smaller bike (12 inch) at first to build his confidence and then I hope he'll be able to ride his "bigger" (16 inch) bike without training wheels.
We ride our bikes A LOT in the summer. Connor (3 1/2) is now out of the bike trailer and riding with training wheels. So it's just part of our nature to be on the bikes as much as possible.View Thread
2. We have baskets full of toys and books in each room.
3. I can't remember the last time I got a gift basket. Probably when Lilly was born? She's 19 months now.
4. I could only sink a basket with dumb luck. I'm terrible at basket ball. None of the kids have shown interest in playing basketball yet. They can start playing through the city here when they are 6.
5. My favorite basket is filled with kids books right now. It's just a nice, sturdy, lined basket. Hoping the hubby will build some bookshelves so I can have the basket back for other stuff!View Thread
1. I am so looking forward to Ella's spring break is this week!
2. A big glass of wine later.
3. When you get cold, nothing warms you up like a hot shower.
4. My spiritual beliefs are a big part of my life.
5. If you need anything for a new baby, I'm giving it all away.
6.Looking forward to a road trip this summer.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to friends coming over for dinner, tomorrow my plans include a bike ride and Sunday, I want to enjoy my kids!View Thread
We laugh off people's comments about our family. We know we've made the right choice to have each of our kids and we know we've made the right choice to be done. We have 4 kids- ages 6, 5, 3, 18 months.
I think it's great that you are really thinking about your decision before you decide one way or another.
Personally, the third child almost put me and my husband over the edge. We did not plan on having a third so soon after the first two. By then we figured we might as well go ahead and have a fourth so that they can all be close in age.
You will have a bigger age difference and it might not be as stressful for you. My only thing is that with three children you are outnumbered and it can be hectic at times. I wouldn't change a thing, though! I love my crazy life with 4 babies so close together!View Thread
I am Katie- a SAHM.
4 kids
Ella-6, Owen-5, Connor-3, Lilly 18months
Ella is in 1st grade and Owen is in preschool
Ella attends a K-12 charter school. Owen attends a private preschool.
I'm so lucky to have my kids because I believe they truly are a gift from God and I feel privileged to be entrusted to raise each one of them!
Ella is like a lamb in that she's loving and compassionate of others. She's like a lion in that she is very outgoing almost in an aggressive way.
Owen is like a lamb in that he's incredibly loving too. He is like a lion in that he has a quick temper at times.View Thread

Osprey Opening Day!
The Missoula Osprey will have opening day coming up in June! Don't miss this family fun event.
The Missoula Osprey will have opening day coming up in June! Don't miss this family fun event.
Mike toured Missoula, and he found several things to do and see. Mike went for a walk on the river, which he discovered the beauty of the Clark Fork, a great place for a walk! Then, Mike went for a drive and saw a sign for a baseball field, what a surprise, what a prize for baseball fans in Missoula and surrounding area's!
Scotty McCreery was all set to see his beloved Boston Red Sox at the White House today, but it all went wrong, thanks to American Airlines.
I think baseball fans are the most superstitious of all sports fans. They can cite all kinds of reasons why their team wins or loses, and they firmly believe in them.
A guy named Zach Hample tried to break a world record on Saturday by catching a baseball dropped from a helicopter 1,000 feet up.
He actually ACCOMPLISHED it too
Hey, the Flag needs your help. At the Missoula Osprey opening ceremonies tonight they're going to have a 50'x30' American flag on the field...
The Missoula Osprey have their home opener Thursday. Andy English of the Montana Air National Guard has made arrangements for a large American flag to be part of the opening ceremonies...
Rumors are spreading that Missoula County is preparing to oust the American Legion and Missoula Mavericks from Lindborg-Cregg field to build condos on the land. Missoula County Commissioner Jean Curtiss says not a word of those rumors is true.
The Missoula Osprey scored five runs in the top of the first inning, and four pitchers combined on a five-hit shutout in a 10-0 win over the Ogden Raptors that gave the Osprey their first Pioneer League title since the 2006 season, winning the Best-of-3 series, 2-1.
The Missoula Osprey beat the Billings Mustangs 8 to 5 last night to win the second half Pioneer League North Division title in front of a boisterous home crowd of almost 2,700 fans.
The Missoula Osprey baseball season gets underway next Monday with a game in Billings!
Here's a look at America's favorite pass time from T-ball to seniors.

Readership: Scholars and students of the law of armed conflict and military operations; legal officers in the armed forces, foreign offices and NGOs
Edited by Terry D. Gill, Professor of Military Law, University of Amsterdam & Netherlands Defence Academy; Associate Professor Public International Law, Utrecht University, and Dieter Fleck, formerly Director, International Agreements and Policy, Federal Ministry of Defence, Bonn; Honorary President, International Society for Military Law and the Law of War
"Overall, the Handbook is an invaluable and practical guide to most of the issues surrounding international military operations and should be read by academics, students and practitioners alike." - Antoine Kaboré, Journal of International Criminal Justice
"Like its predecessors, the handbook is written in the style of a commentary: its 32 chapters first set out the basic rules in bold...and then provide detailed commentaries on those rules. This style reflects the dual purpose of the handbook, first, as a training tool and comprehensive guide intended for practitioners involved in the conduct of international military operations,
and, second, as a reference work for scholars and students working in this area from a safer distance...[T]his work does an admirable job of providing authoritative guidance on some of the most pressing problems of international military operations. As such, the handbook deserves to be widely read and consulted as an indispensible reference work by scholars and practitioners working or interested in this field." - Aurel Sari, University of Exeter, International Affairs 87:3

David Tutera gave up on The Apprentice, not just Joan Rivers
After Tutera presented a panel introducing the second season of his WE show My Fair Wedding, I caught up with him outside the ballroom to get his response to Joan. He knew the questions were coming, because I had mentioned them to his publicist, but I wanted to ease into things by asking him about the show and its upcoming season. Oh, and I asked him for suggestions on how to throw a relatively inexpensive wedding in New Jersey, but that was just for personal reasons.
But Tutera seemed ready. He answered Joan's charges calmly and without the same rancor she used.
Just to remind you what Rivers told me, this was the grand finale to her rant about Tutera: "He was very grand. You know why I'm still around? I'm not grand. This man was so fucking piss elegant. I am queen of the gays, but this was one mean little snotty fairy. And I can say that. And if he comes to my charity, God's Love We Deliver, he's gonna be the first person not to get a meal."
So, with that salvo rattling in my head, I started in on my questions about Rivers and The Apprentice:
I figured I'd ask you a couple questions about The Apprentice and your incident with Joan Rivers.
I'm delighted. I'm disappointed you weren't in there to ask me when I was on the stage.
Did anybody ask you out there?
No, and I'm sad about this. Let's do this all over.
This is an exclusive then. What happened? Her act is carrying grudges. So she's still angry about what happened on the finale. What's your side, though? Why did you pull out of party planning for both sides?
Well, you know, first of all, it feels like this happened a year ago. And I don't really, honestly, remember all of the details. Unfortunately, I think what you saw on the show when it aired was definitely misguided and misdirected in the sense of the drama that Joan wanted to create. It's incredible. But what I will tell you is, even right down to having this conversation with you, I'm just surprised that this is important enough to her that she wants to continue to talk about it. And if she wants to continue to talk about it, let her talk about it.
I think I remember reading your blog after this happened, and you said, what happened on the air did not represent how much she was asking you to fix things and asking you to change things in real life.
That's true.
Was she ever rude? Was she ever short with you?
All of the above.
She claims that she was never rude, she was always nice about it. Or maybe direct, but not...
You're throwing the wedding, so if I said to you, to you and your fiancee...you want to have a lounge. And I said to her on the show, let's do a great, fabulous lounge. Now Joan Rivers associated lounge... and I know you and your fiancee would think differently. You would think lounge to be a cool, swanky lounge for a party. She thought I was getting lounge chairs for a pool. So a lot of the mis-guidance, or her frustrations, were the lack of her not listening to herself, and her understanding the direction that she should have gone in that she didn't want to go.
When you pulled out, why did you pull your services from both teams?
The reality of that is, which I don't want to get too far into this, because it's not that important to me anymore, it's actually more important to Joan clearly, is that when I pulled out, I didn't pull out on Joan and Annie Duke, I pulled out on the producers because the show... We all know reality TV, and that's pretty much a huge show to watch, is that that show is being very misguided by the producers to create drama.
When I saw that, having done enough television in my career, I knew that if I hadn't pulled out at that moment, it could have potentially gotten worse. Now if you watch the entire three hours of The Apprentice, I was only on camera for maybe less than 60 seconds.
But that was probably enough for people who know who you are to recognize you.
They threaded that for three hours of drama. Which says to me, I don't think they had enough drama in the show, besides me.
But even though you were on camera very briefly, people did recognize you. Did that affect your business one way or the other?
It made more awareness of me for those that didn't know exactly who I was. Those now know. Those do now know who I am. I'll give you a perfect example. I was in line waiting to get on a plane two weeks after The Apprentice had aired. A gentleman, tall, brawly guy, clearly does not watch wedding shows, now knows who I am. So it broadened the scope of my popularity. So that could have been perceived as being dramatic and bad for my business, but it really was just the opposite. We're still talking about it.
That's true. And I think Joan's funny. And the way she concluded her rant was with a funny line, I'll admit. You probably won't like it...
Oh, I already read it. But go ahead.
She said, "if he comes to my charity, God's Love We Deliver, he's gonna be the first person not to get a meal." Which I thought, you know what, it got a big laugh.
I think that's pretty sad. A sad comment on her behalf, not mine.
But you also have to understand a lot of her humor comes from her anger and her holding onto stuff anyway.
So my rebuttal to that, in a very simple way, then I don't want to talk about this anymore, is that if I went to her charity, she would not serve me a meal. If I sent her a check to her charity, would she cash the check?
I think she probably would.
Uh-huh. Interesting.
Well David, good luck with the next season.
Thanks! Good luck with your wedding!

Even before the highly publicized news about Google's bold plan to produce uncensored search results in China, its popularity in the mainland has been dwindling. This is according to iResearch, a local Chinese search consultancy firm.
In addition to Google losing search market share in mainland, Yahoo! and Bing also lost a certain portion of their slices in search popularity in China. Google had 18.9 per cent share of Web searches done in China in 2009, compared to 76 per cent enjoyed by Baidu. In terms of percentage points, Google's share is down 1.8 per cent while Baidu gained 2.8 percentage points, iResearch said.
Google has a higher share of search on bigger cities, but Baidu asserted its dominance over its rivals on less prosperous regions. The widening gap between Baidu and Google's share is an indication that the number of Internet users from the countryside has been surging. At the end of last year, China has 384 million Internet users.
Yahoo's China, controlled by Alibaba Group, saw its dwindling share slipping further from 1 per cent to just 0.3 per cent, iResearch said.
Yahoo China, which is controlled by China's Alibaba Group and is also known as China Yahoo, slipped further in the country last year. Its share of Web searches fell to just 0.3 percent from the previous year's 1 percent, iResearch said. This means that Bing, Microsoft's search engine, now leads Yahoo albeit very slightly.
Analysys International forecasts that the value of China's search engine market in 2010 will reach 10 billion yuan (US$1.46 billion). Will Google be true to its word about possibly pulling the plug in its China operations or soften its stance in favor of business opportunities?

If your children keep you busy and you need 5 minutes of free time, keep these quick ideas in mind. You can get your task accomplished and they will have fun while you work.
1. Give them a calculator, or old cell phone- the buttons are very enticing for young children and they always seem to be mesmerized by these simple everyday items.
2. Photo albums work well – they always like seeing old pictures of themselves, ie.. she will remember her favorite birthday dress and might recognize her cousins and friends too.
3. Let them clean- hand them a damp wash cloth and have them wipe off counters and tables "like mommy does." They will feel proud to help you.
4. Lay out a foam place mat and foam stickers. They will spent quite a bit of time sticking the sticker on and then pulling it off.
It does not always have to be a big deal the small things really do matter . Keep them smiling and you will be a much happier mommy too. Share some of your 5 minute activities or post a comment, we would love to hear from you.
Spring is coming soon; make sure to check out our new girls spring clothes arrivals. We have tons of beautiful new girls Easter dresses here and all at prices that will save you tons.

Pour sa série 'Lakes and réservoirs', Matthew Brandt photographie des lacs et des réservoirs situés sur le territoire américain, et plonge ensuite ses tirages dans l'eau récoltée dans le lac ou réservoir photographié. L'opération qui peut durer des semaines ou des mois donne naissance à des objets étranges, qui effacent la limite entre la photographie et le sujet photographié. En 2012, son travail a fait l'objet d'une grande exposition à la Yossi Milo Gallery à New York. La même année, il a été nommé comme l'un des jeunes talents les plus prometteurs par le New York Times. (Interview en anglais.)
Sylvan Lake © Matthiew Brandt
Last year, Matthiew Brandt won international acclaim for his work 'Lakes and reservoirs' in which color photographs are soaked in the specific lake or reservoir that they depict. The artist who now lives in Los Angeles, California, studied art at the Cooper Union School of Art, New York, and then obtained a Master of Fine Arts at the University of California, Los Angeles in 2008. In 2012, Forbes put him on the 'Top 30 under 30 in art & design' list. He speaks with Photographie.com about experimental photography, and about the influence that painting has had on his work.
Photographie.com : How did you come to embark on this artistic journey ?
I grew up into photography, as my father is an advertising photographer. I have been loading film backs and adjusting strobe lights since I was about nine years old. Though at the time, working on photography with my dad in the studio was viewed more like household chores. I didn't actually take photography seriously as an art form until after leaving home for college, when I began embracing it more and more.
Photograhie.com : Using natural elements such as lake water, body fluids, food condiments, etc has become your signature. Where does your fascination with the relationship between photography and the real world come from ?
I'm not sure exactly… but ideas around the uncanny have always interested me in terms of its feeling of de-familiarizing something that is already familiar. And to me these everyday associated materials that are so close to us always have an opportunity to become strangers again. This material interest in combination with my fascination in historical photographic processes led me to how I am working today.

Photographie.com : Your Waters and Reservoires series was made by soaking color photographs in the specific lake or reservoir water that they represent. How did this project start and how exactly did you do this ?
In 'Lakes and Reservoirs', a color photograph is made of a Lake or Reservoir. This print is then soaked in the lake or reservoir water that I have collected. After a period of time, the water breaks down the color photograph. I was fascinated by color photography, particularly the chromeogenic (C-print) process. It was amazing to me to learn about the genius that is inherent in this technology. Also at the time I was making salted paper prints where I was collecting fluids from a subject and using his/her fluid to chemically develop their own image. For instance I printed a picture of my friend Will and used his tears as the 'salt' component in the salted paper printing process for his portrait.
This interest in a subject's collaborative involvement of their image production, and fascination with color photography led me to 'Lakes and Reservoirs'. The main difference is that the subject's fluid degrades its own image rather than helps photographically clarify it.
Photographie.com : Some of the photographs almost feel like paintings. Would you say that this form of art has an important influence on your work ?
Yes, definitely. I mentioned before that I didn't take photography seriously when I was younger. At the time I was mainly painting and drawing. I always had my sketchbook with me drawing everything around me and a canvas at home propped up next to my bed in progress. This is something that I still haven't let go of completely. When I began seriously using photography I gave away my paint set to a friend. This is something that was perhaps necessary, but I still wish that I hadn't done that.
Photographie.com : As an experimental photographer, what other forms of artistic expressions are you interested in developing ?
Something that is always important is the installation of the works. So understanding space is very important to pull this off. As I do more installations, the more I want to push these 'installation' concepts.

Photographie.com : Your Honeybees series depicts the shattered bodies of bees. What is the message that you were trying to convey ?
It isn't so much a specific message that I want to convey, but rather a feeling. The same feeling that I felt when I walked upon hundreds of scattered bees along the Santa Monica beach.
Photographie.com : Are large format prints an important tool in conveying this feeling ?
Yes and no. It really depends on the subject at hand. I love to relish in the capabilities of photographic crispness. But sometimes the crispness becomes too much of a subject in and of itself, and it is necessary to muddle things up a bit.

Measurement Is Key To Seamless City Success, Rick Baker, Washington Examiner,
June 23, 2011
(This is the third in a three part series adapted from The Seamless City)
It seemed odd to me that I did not receive many reports after I became mayor of St. Petersburg. I had responsibility for a much larger organization that included 34 departments, about 3,000 employees, and a budget over $500 million. Yet after three months in office, the only regular reports I had received were the crime statistics and regional rainfall levels. Keeping in mind our goals for the city, we decided to develop a set of performance measures for every department in the city, and tie the measures to the four core areas of our plan. . .
How The Seamless City Fights Crime, Rick Baker, Washington Examiner,
June 22, 2011
(This is the second in a three part series adapted from The Seamless City)
Fire, natural disaster and emergency medical functions of a city are all critical, but there is no area of city responsibility that evokes more emotion and community focus than the city's role of protecting people from crimes. Becoming a victim is a life-changing event, as anyone who has been victimized knows. For a mayor, reducing crime rates is not enough. Until crime rates are zero, a city must continually be looking to steer people away from a criminal life and provide certainty and severity in punishment for those who choose crime. . .
How A Conservative Mayor Revitalized A Central City, Rick Baker,
Washington Examiner, June 21, 2011
(This is the FIRST in a three part series adapted from The Seamless City)
Downtown is the heart of a city. It is the place where our crossroads come together, our common bond. Picture in your mind's eye a city you have visited. You are probably not thinking of the suburbs, shopping malls or industrial parks -- you are picturing the downtown area. A downtown with a large commercial, office and residential base will contribute significantly to the tax rolls of the city with the effect of reducing the tax burden on residents in the city's neighborhoods, helping residents throughout the city save money. . .
Measures Drive Performance in St. Petersburg, Rick Baker, Governing.com,
June 6, 2011
Before being elected mayor of St. Petersburg, Fla., in 2001, I was president of a medium-sized law firm. Each week, I would get a detailed report of expenses, revenues, collections, caseloads and cash flow -- information critical to making decisions about the firm. I didn't get many reports when I first became mayor of St. Petersburg. In fact, I was shocked at how few measures of performance were readily available. If the mayor is the CEO of the city, he or she needs a clear picture of what is working and what is not working. . .
It Takes a Mayor, Jennifer Marshall, The Weekly Standard, 10-17-11
'Many saw me as an unlikely urban champion," admits Rick Baker, who served two terms as mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida's fourth-largest city, and was named Governing magazine's top mayor in 2008. Baker isn't just being humble: He's a social and economic conservative, and conservatives generally aren't known for leading with an antipoverty, urban renewal agenda.
Cities Must Find the Economy's Fix, Peter Harkness, Governing Magazine, July, 2011
...That brings to mind yet another recently published book worth perusing, this one by Rick Baker, the two-term mayor of St. Petersburg, Fla., and a winner of Governing's 2008 Public Official of the Year award. The Seamless City: A Conservative Mayor's Approach to Urban Revitalization That Can Work Anywhere is a recounting of how Baker achieved such success, not only in improving public services and energizing the economy, but particularly in healing racial and economic rifts.
America's Greatest Mayor?, John Avalon, The Daily Beast, May 10, 2011
The Seamless City is essential reading for any American mayor or active urban citizen. It offers insight into why I believe Rick Baker deserves to be known as America's best mayor of the past decade. Other mayors may be better known. After all, St. Petersburg is only the 68th largest city in the U.S. and the fourth-largest in Florida. But Baker did not inherit a city that was already turning around, like many mayors who entered office after the urban renaissance of the 1990s. He did not have billion-dollar budgets or national attention. He did the hard work himself, inspiring a city government and its citizens to aim higher and believe that together they could achieve excellence.
Pittsburg Tribune-Review's New Pages To Turn Book Review, April 24, 2011
Rick Baker draws on his 2001-10 tenure as mayor of St. Petersburg, Fla., to offer prescriptions for reversing American cities' decline into red ink, employee layoffs, service cuts and tax hikes. . .The fact that Baker, a conservative Republican, succeeded as mayor of a city where Republicans make up less than 30 percent of the electorate lends credibility to his policy ideas, grounding his book firmly in "real world" practicalities
In Depth: Former St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker writes book, Bay News, April 5, 2011
Former St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker's book, The Seamless City, is now in stores. The former leader talks about his time in office and everything from the homelessness issue to cutting the city's property tax rates by nearly 20 percent to a new Tampa Bay Rays stadium. In the new book, Baker also talks about his relationship with other city officials.
Ex-St. Petersburg Mayor Baker Pens Book, Rob Shaw, The Tampa Tribune, April 5, 2011
He's been a mayor. He's currently involved with higher education. Now Rick Baker can add the title of author to his list. The man who led the city of St. Petersburg for nine years has written a book called "The Seamless City," which is available this week. With the subtitle of "A Conservative Mayor's Approach to Revitalization That Could Work Anywhere," Baker said he got the idea for the book about two years ago when he was talking with another mayor. . .
Baker Denies Book is Prelude To Campaign, Adam C. Smith, St. Petersburg Times, April 3, 2011
When politicians publish books, it often means they're preparing to run for a new office. In a Political Connections interview airing today on Bay News 9, however, former St. Petersburg mayor Rick Baker says his new book, The Seamless City, won't precede a campaign within the next few years. . .
Ex-mayor Baker On Government, God and Goliath, Michael Van Sickler, St. Petersburg Times, April 1, 2011
. . .It's an interesting perspective in a book that Baker said is intended to serve as a how-to guide for mayors of other American cities. The chapters are divided into topics of concern for any mayor - downtown, public safety, homelessness, jobs. For each category, Baker makes the case that his approach made St. Petersburg more seamless, where all parts of the city are safe, clean and have adequate services to accommodate the people who live there. . .
Do You Live In St Pete? Maybe You Should Read This Book!, The Home Team Tampa Bay, 3-31-11
A Conservative Mayor's Approach to Urban Revitalization that Could Work Anywhere is now available on Amazon.com. The book is divided into two sections. The first reveals Baker's views on how to plan a great city. Baker shares his perspective on a variety of city-related concerns: jobs, homelessness, public safety, etc. The second part focuses on the mayoral duties. . .
The Seamless City' By Rick Baker, GOP Books News, 4-13-11
Rick Baker, former Mayor of St. Petersburg, has written a book on how to keep America great. 'The Seamless City' explains that by keeping America's cities great we keep America great. Baker talks about the challenges he faced as mayor and how he redeveloped the downtown area, reduced violent crime, improved the school system and tells how the most effective leadership is servant leadership.
Ex-St. Pete, Fla., Mayor: Cities Need Business Approach, Newsmax, 4-25-11
Running a city is a lot like running a business, and municipal officials need to use businesslike tactics to get their hometowns on track, former St. Petersburg, Fla., Mayor Rick Baker tells Newsmax.TV. "You can't run a government exactly like a business, but there are a lot of business principles that we need to employ within government," Baker said. As mayor of St. Petersburg from 2001-2010, Baker implemented the "Baker Plan" to revive the city by focusing on improving public safety, promoting education, boosting economic development, strengthening neighborhoods, and improving the efficiency of city services. . .
Rick Baker talks about The Seamless City - Part II, Daily Loaf, 4-14-11
On Wednesday we published on this blog the first part of our interview with former St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Baker, upon the publication of his new book The Seamless City: A Conservative Mayor's Approach to Urban Revitalization that Could Work Anywhere. We pick up the pace by asking Baker about what he called one of the main goals of his campaign and his time in office : improving the mostly African-American section of South St. Petersburg known as Midtown. . .
Rick Baker Speaks To CL Upon The Publication Of His New Book, The Seamless City, Daily Loaf, 4-13-11
Last week Rick Baker's memoir regarding his 8 1/2 years serving as Mayor of St.Petersburg, The Seamless City, was published. For the past 10 months Baker has transitioned nicely into the private sector, working for the University of South Florida as its first director of "innovation partnership." CL bumped into him at Bob Buckhorn's inauguration as Tampa Mayor a week and a half ago, and spoke with him last Tuesday. . .

It was good. But I think it's missing something and I don't know what. One thing is certain. I ate too much :-S I think it would be better if the potatoes were mash and not grated. Even though they were cooked, they had a slimey feel to them, which I didn't enjoy. I won't make it again.flag if inappropriate
Though it's a Polish and Russian tradition as opposed to Irish, applesauce along with sour cream is an amazing topping.flag if inappropriate
Simple and tasty. I've made this several times and have found it to be a good fast dinner. My one trick to get more of a pancake texture is squeeze the liquid out of the potatoes. Then let the starch settle out, and decant the liquid away and finally mix the eggs to the starch. (One of my friends always does this when making latkes)flag if inappropriate
If you follow the recipe exactly, this turns out more like sticky hashbrowns than pancakes. That's not a bad thing, just not what I was expecting. The flavors were great together. Great with a little sour cream. Next time, I'm going to shred the potatoes finer, add an extra egg and make individual pancakes.flag if inappropriate
YUUUUUMMMMMYYY!!!flag if inappropriate
Fantastic! I made it for St.Patricks Day, with lamb. I left out the Canadian Bacon, and added chopped mint into the potato mixture. It was colorful and added a nice, subtle flavor.flag if inappropriate
What a great recipe! There is a definite lack of "elegant" cooking in Irish cuisene, but this recipe is just that. The combination of these ingredients souns like it would be bland, but they combine to provide great flavors, as well as a good texture. The great mix of colors provides for easy plate arrangement. This would be great with a classy dry white or an easy pint of Guinness. Over all, a very nice gourmet dish.flag if inappropriate

Does Vacuum Energy Really Dominate The Cosmos?
New results from a study of distant galaxy clusters, observed as they were when the universe was only half as old as it is today, lead to some surprising conclusions.
The observations were obtained by the European Space Agency's (ESA) satellite XMM in the context of an international collaboration involving researchers from two laboratories (the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique and the Centre d'Etude Spatiale des Rayonnements (CESR) at the Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées (OMP ) in Toulouse, the Institut d'Astrophysique Spatiale (IAS) in Paris, the Collčge de France, the Service d'Astrophysique (SAp) in Saclay, and the ESA center ESTEC in Holland.
The scientific interpretation of these observations will soon appear as a letter in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The observations indicate that the abundance of X-ray luminous galaxy clusters was much lower at this ancient epoch, which suggests that the matter density of the Universe is significantly larger than what has been commonly assumed since the observations of the cosmic background radiation reported by NASA's WMAP satellite.
This new result could call into question the need for vacuum energy!
In any case, the results indicate that certain basic assumptions adopted by cosmologists will have to be modified: If galaxy clusters behave as commonly assumed, then one must abandon the ideal of a universe dominated by vacuum energy -- a radical change relative to recent ideas in the field; otherwise, one will have to understand the physical processes operating to make galaxy clusters more complicated objects than expected.

Three rounds for time of:
Knees to elbows, 21 reps
1 1/2 pood Kettlebell swing, 21 reps
Push-ups, 21 reps
Rope climb, 3 trips
20 inch Box jump, 21 reps
Back extension, 21 reps
Walking lunge, 150 ft
Post time to comments.

McGee Company CrossFitters.
Could someone estimate for me the number of towel pullups to replace the rope climb with? I need just a good ballpark to shoot for.
And what is the crossfit definition for height to raise the kettlebell? Eye-level or overhead?
10 hands to chest
Our general idea is to makke each excercise as hard as possible, so go with the overhead KB swings.
Is it 10 towel pullups for 1 rope trip or for all 3 rope trips?
I would like to meet whom ever comes up with the WOD so I could kick them in the *#@^)*!. Because thats what the WOD does to me most days. But my friends and I wouldn't change a thing.
As a former competing bodybuilder I thought I was in shape until I found crossfit. I have a new found respect for core body strength. Keep pu the good job!
By the way I only completed 2 1/2 rounds today, out of time and out of gas.
Tim P.
And I thought I would die. Told the wife that if my heart pops I love her.
Completed two whole rounds. Third go-around I cut the number of reps in half so that I stood a chance of living to talk about it.
Time was 33:15
New to WOD and can say that you guys will be charged with attempted murder! Since I'm new to this I decided to do 7 reps per round and am barely here to retell the tale....Not able to do rope climbs so I did towel "jump up" pullups (7 of them). Completed the session in 27:22...but that was only a third of the recommended reps.....may God have mercy on your twisted souls......I QUIT!....till tomorrow ;)
I stopped after two rounds and 32:00. Sub'd 21 pullups for 3 rope climbs. Knees to elbows were by far the slowest. Maybe I should add them to my warmup?
Well... I put this Bad boy off as long as I could.. Right now my glasses are fogging up as I try to type.
I don't have a rope so I did alternating standing DB presses 21 each side with 22lbs & did good mornings with 85 lbs for the extensions What a WIPEOUT!!!
21:07 and BLITZED..PLEASE NO MUs tomorrow!
2 rounds only. Sub 30 pullups for rope climb. Ran out of time (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it :p ). Tough one today, and yesterday, and....
Substituted towel pullups--only a couple--then ring pullups then chin ups in that order for each round for rope climb. Did jump with finger touch to target on wall for box jumps. Happy Labor Day!
PS: I have begun to indoctrinate my wife into Crossfit. The boy is next.
34:10 for two rounds (14 for first round)
Substituted 30 pullups for rope climbs, 55# db for swings and 55# lb stiff legged deadlift for extensions.
Pukie on my back and Mr. Injury in sight so stopped after two rounds....
about 34 minutes, subbed 10 pull-ups for rope climbs. ye gods, this was tough.
12 pullups for rope climbs (max rep attempt of 24 pullups to kick off WOD)
How long and thick is the rope suppose to be? I want to hang one before I start this WOD. Any suggestions?
I can believe I actually finished it!
45# DB for KBswings(tha's all the weight I have).
For the rope climb I used a towel but instead of PU I did a see-saw motion as if I was climbing the rope(harder than PU).
For the box jumps I did tuck jumps and subbed the back ext. with good mornings.
I had to rest in between exercises ofcourse, but one thing I'm proud of was that all reps were unbroken :)
I hope they go easy on us tomorrow(yeah right!)
1 hour, 6 minutes. My only goals on this one were to finish it, and ideally do it under an hour. I probably would have made it under an hour if I hadn't stayed up late with a Puerto Rican Bat. Subbed 30 pullups for the rope climbs. Getting better at Chinese Pullups combined with kips. That really makes a difference. I also tore my hands in three places, but that's what makes the WOD so fun.
I'm really appreciating all of you that live in Arizona, New Mexico and/or Texas today (or anywhere else it is regularly over 95 deg in the summer) - it was 98 degrees when I went into the gym today and we have no A/C. This workout was deadly - not literally, but it did practically kill me! Thought it looked pretty easy at first glance, but those 3 sets of 10 towell pullups each round took me DOWN!
Due to lack of several components for this WOD at home I did a WOD of my own that you all will hopefully certify as, at least, thematically similar to the authentic WOD (ie. long and an @$$-wupper)
3x 1000m C2; 60sec rest b/w reps (3:41/3:46/3:50)
50 concrete cinder block swings (~35-40#) (no breaks)
1.4mile bike to park
21 pull-ups (15/6)
60 sit-ups, unanchored (no breaks)
21 push-ups (pause, no breaks)
60 squats (no breaks)
21 knees-to-elbows on rings (15/6)
1.4mile bike home
50 concrete cinder block swings (~35-40#) (25/25)
3x 1000m C2; 60sec rest b/w reps (4:04/4:12/4:13)
Day 3, PMS2
mods: 1 pood kb for "American" (overhead) swings;
21 see-saw towel pullups for the rope climb; 18" box jumps. Everything else as prescribed. And I FINALLY beat Kelly!
Day 3 PMS2 in beautiful New Hampshire
Mods: 1 pd kb overhead swings, 21 staggered grip towel pullups for the rope climb, 18" box jumps
A near death experience. Not enough oxygen. Lynne kicked my butt - she had an outstanding workout. Knees to elbows killed my time while Lynne had very few breaks.
34 minutes. By the end of it, I felt like the guy in Gladiator at the end scene, where he's about to die and he's hallucinating about walking through wheat fields and meeting his dead relatives.
Subbed knees to chest on a dip station for knees to elbows (pullup bar is too close to the ground); 45# DB swings; close alternating grip chins, chest to bar for rope climb.
Oh yeah, subbed 12lb medicine ball good mornings for back extensions.
Isn't Sunday supposed to be a day of rest, or something like that?
Subs: Towel pullups and 1 pood since my hamstring is still boinked.
17:32(with no rope climb, don't have one set up)
Tuff stuff.Had to pray alot to get through this one. my knees to elbows are not what they should be, but they will be. Now I also realize that swings should go above the head, that makes a ton of difference, or at least makes them feel like a ton.
Sprawled on the floor for 15 min afterwards, unable to move. I think the "cross" in crossfit is a headstone. You guys are trying to kill us. Keep up the good work.
The rope should be at least 1.25" preferrably 1.5 or 2". Manila is better for gripping and feel. If you need you can add "stops" made of tape or even knots every 1-1.2 feet until you get better at it. use whatever length you have from ceiling height or a tree. Mine is about 16-18' off a tree branch. Real rope climbs offer great grip training, and dynamic power.
Todays WOD was brutal. Did 2 complete sets and 1/3 of the 3 set.
+Knees to elbows from tree branch out side firehouse. 7/7/7 x2 -7
+Dumbell for KB @ 50# 21-10/11-7
+Push ups 21-21-7
+subbed 30' extension ladder raises for rope climbs only thing at station. 3-3-1 up and downs
+used tail board of Rescue 7 for box jumps 21-10/11-7
+good mornings 21-21-7
+walk lunges 50-50-20 (25 strides out/back @3' stride)
Time for 21/3 WOD 27:51
That last comment should be 2&1/3 WOD. Where you at AJQ.
Haven't looked at the times on the board but I wonder if other people got totally smoked like I did. I messed up my timer and my estimate is around 40 minutes. warmed up with sats wod in 20 minutes with only 125. yo ericccccc.........
This was my third workout of the day. Kept an even if painful pace. Had I done this first, there's no doubt in my mind I'd have fared better.
thought I'd post my summary of my 1st week of CrossFit.
1st day was the "Helen" day..time a little over 15 minutes, actually felt good.
missed next day (Thurs) due to prior engagment.
So, Friday I doubled up BUT I didn't have any weights for dead-lifts, so I parked the old Benz at one end of a 1/2 mile long VERY slightly graded street and pushed it as fast as possible to the other end. Then I did the Handstand/pull-up set's. Total time maybe 20 min.
Then Saturday, I met up with my new friend Sean (what's up buddy!!) and had a nice run through the Sonoran mountains and deserts. I realized at that point that pushing a car up a hill one morning, then going out and running ALOT of hills the next is a bit tough on the legs.
Today I did the WOD...set 3 was a killer! Halfed the rep's on the third set.
Pain is just weakness leaving the body!
Thank's. I bought a 7/8" rope and it was a sad day. I'll get the bigger rope this week. 23:37 with out the 3 full trips up the rope.
19:40 for 2 rounds. I used 35 pounds on the back extension and carried the bar overhead for the 1st set of lunges, carried 25 lb dumbells farmer style on the 2nd set. I ran out of time for the third, but 2 hours later I did a set of Tabata squats, some pistols, pushups and handstand practice followed by a very easy 90 minute yoga class (about 1 hour of exercise). My legs are feeling it now.
Subbed 21 towel pull ups per round for rope climbs. Knees to elbows and towel pu's slowed me down the most - then i would try to make up time on the lunges, back extensions and box jumps. It was an ok strategy but still unfortunate to lose so much time in those two areas. I look forward to getting stronger there.
Tony B. did 44:48.
Both of us found the 10 minute floor sprawl to be the recovery posture of choice.
20:15 for 2 rounds Rx. finally met pukie and had to stop. good stuff.
made a couple of modifications:
used 50# db for swings
subbed hand over hand pullups on a 1.5" pole for rope climb (these sucked with sweaty hands...)
did double pushups on all rounds
all else as rxed
time = 35:04
after this week's wods i have a new appreciation of "labor" day!
Well, this one was ugly: 20 minutes for ONE round, and I had to stop. Sheesh.
10 close arm palms away chest to bar pull ups for rope climb.
21 Tuck jumps in lieu of Box jumps.
First WOD after 3 days rest due to gastric infection. Felt weak and certainly did not produce 100% Think I will try this one again at the end of the week when I feel 100%
25:00 Two rounds only; time was a factor (not meeting Pukie was also).
Didn't do rope climbs, and the knot on my towel for pullups wouldn't hold, so I just scratched it. Had my tail kicked anyway. One positive though was today was my first time doing dumbell swings at the full 55#.
Couple of mods. Used 55# core blaster in place of KB. Went Russian since the left handle wants to spin off when I get it overhead for American -gotta fix that. Only one rope climb each or I'd still be out there. 22" box jumps 'cause that's what I have.
39:45 of sheer pain.
I do not have access to a rope so i did towel pull-up. I also thought that the kb swings were supposed to be done one arm at a time. First set did 1 1/2 pood and the last two sets did 1 pood. My buddies told me later it is a two arm swing. Wow that would have helped.
Did Wod in 29:25 with 10 rope pull ups for each climb. However the sets were broken. Very tired but happy to complete until got back record this only to find out I wrote it down wrong and did not include the KB swings. Will do them seperately.
managed all three rounds with minimal modifications
45#DB swings (-10#, all overhead)
push ups (unbroken)
rope climb 16'(about 10-11 pulls per trip but used feet after 1st trip)
box jump (increase to 23")
back extension (unbroken)
lunges (12# bar overhead)
Not a bad time if you consider that my school's gym needs some serious modification, like a pull up bar that isn't attached to the single gravitron machine, an unobstructed lane for walking lunges and no climbling rope or a deck for O-lifts.
Had to substitute;
climbing wall for rope climb since there was nothing to hang towel over and there is always a line for the one machine to do pull-ups off of, 50 lb. DB for KB swings and *!#%!, totally forgot the box jumps, nor would I have been able to find anything to jump on in our "weight room".
I miss CrossFit North something fierce, but shall bring the good news to the NYC area.
47:10 for this wod I felt a litte slow but I completed the whole thing after a long graveyard shift:(
34:10 First post here but have been doing versions of the wod for a few weeks now. Substituted 21 towel pullups for rope climb and 50# db swing.
20:40. Subbed 15 towel pull-ups for rope climb and used 45 lb. dumbbell for KB swings. Obviously my time would have been slower with 1.5 pood KB and 3 trips up the rope.
Rd 1 = 19:23, 2 = 43:23, 3 = 57:15 Total, & I don't care who knows about it, I finished alive.
Sub 15 Towelees for rope climb, 56-lb. Marcy Grip dumbell swing.
29:22, as prescribed. Ugh, what a great way to "unwind' after a 7 hr drive. Only two mods - two - 25 lb clubbells used on the swings, and 30 towel chins each round in place of rope climbs. (I need to get a rope soon!)
This will be my last WOD posting for nearly a month. (4 weeks) Week 1, (actually just the next 5 days) I am going to take as active rest (I'm way overdue for a rest week, and I have too much to get done this week).
The next two weeks, I will be training the WOD full on, but will be on vacation in the mountains, and will have no computer access. (I downloaded last year's WODs from this period, and I will do them with whatever modifications needed due to my limited equipment) The last week, I will be home, but will be training light in preperation for the Crossfit championships at Crossfit North the following weekend!
See you there!
2 rounds @ 36:03
25kg dumbbell swings.
Towel pullups off one of my rings for the 1st 14 pullups; then ring pullups as grip was fried.
Good mornings @20kg for back extensions.
Had to stop after 2 rounds; had nothing left to give.
At least I know I am in some kind of shape from my days of strongman training!
I did the exact listed workout, all 3 rounds, in 31 minutes. And, I thought I rested too much! I could see this in the 20s soon.
sub. towel pullups (21rep) for rope c.
reverse hyper for regs.
29 min's: I was able to do all exercises as stated, minus rope climbs (did 10 towel pull ups) That probably should have been 21 to even it out with everything else. Great wod.
29 min. All exercises as stated with 20' rope climbs.
Pushed hard, this was a rough one for me.
Time was 27:18.
had to sub pullups for the rope climb.
finished off with some ab work and some kb 3x5 front squats after a short cool down.
Only got two rounds, ran out of time (late start).
22 minutes for two rounds. Subbed ordinary pullups for the rope climb, and then only 15 of those, my right shoulder/lat is still very tender in the pulling motion.
I thought I was the only one who put this off as long as possible!
Did it last night.
49:17 Gasping for relief!
Subbed 15 pull ups in rounds 2 & 3 for the rope climb. Otherwise, 15 towel pulls, and I stopped only because I couldn't keep from twisting. The knees-to-elbows went better than expected. 55# DB swings had Pukie tapping me on the shoulder!
Nonetheless, bring more of these killers on!

Speed sensors on red-light cameras could raise money fast

[efoods]Speeding may be dangerous for drivers, but it could soon be a boon for California's fiscal health.
Tucked deep into the budget that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger unveiled Friday is a plan to give cities and counties the green light to install speed sensors on red-light cameras to catch — and ticket — speeding cars.
Those whizzing by the radar-equipped detectors at up to 15 mph over the limit would have to pay $225 per violation. Those going faster would be fined $325.
Small-government advocates want to put the brakes on the plan.

Fusion facing important test
Entering its biggest match of the Premier Development League season to date, the Ventura County Fusion will lean on its championship experience going into tonight's showdown with the first-place Orange County Blue Star.
With the return of striker Sam Myerson, forward Artur Aghasyan and defender Ivan Becerra, the Fusion has the option to put as many of nine veterans of its 2009 PDL championship squad on the field tonight at 7 at Buena High.
"When you start bringing the players in who played last year, there's a certain familiarity," said Fusion coach Ole Mikkelsen. "It seems to click right away."
Trailing the unbeaten Blue Star (8-0-3) by eight points with a game in hand, the third-place Fusion (6-3-1) need to click soon to tighten up the Southwest Division race.
"I think at this stage of the season, you look at it one game at a time," said Mikkelsen. "Certainly we'd like to come away with a win and tighten up the race."
Behind veteran goalie Bryan Hill and a defense marshaled by Thousand Oaks High product Dylan Riley and Jamie Scope, the Fusion has conceded a division-low eight goals in 10 matches.
Meanwhile, the Blue Star has scored a division-best 38 goals in 11 matches with an attack featuring UC Irvine striker Amani Walker, who has netted 12 times.
"We don't know these guys, we haven't played them, but obviously they've scored a lot of goals and have been very successful," said Mikkelsen. "Our approach has to be play to our strengths and be tight on defense."
The Fusion is coming off a 5-0 road win against the Los Angeles Legends, which featured two goals by new Gambian international striker Ousman Jagne and three assists by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo midfielder Jacob Hustedt.
"We're going into it with a significant amount of momentum," said Mikkelsen.
The early-season strikeforce of Brent Whitfield and Thiago Rocha (knee) continues to be unavailable, but the Fusion has plenty of options for Jagne's partner up front, including Westlake High product Danny Barrera, Ventura High product Mike Enfield, Agoura High product Myerson or Aghasyan.
"It's very healthy to spread the scoring around," said Mikkelsen. "It makes the other team have to focus on the whole team."
The Fusion has also announced a friendly against former English Premier League club Portsmouth, which will take place at Oxnard College on July 17 at 3 p.m.

On Friday my mum and dad came over from East Yorkshire for the weekend. Its like show and tell when they arrive, as we all craft in some way and always have lots to tell each other and our latest projects to show off!
I bought these lovely fat quarters to make skirts for my Lola dolls. (well that's the plan!)
This was made by my mum and must have taken her hours! Its pergamano, which is special translucent paper, pricked and embossed!
And this one was made by child #2, with the sweetest sentiments handwritten inside. She always makes me cry!
Here are some gorgeous hardanger shelf trims made by my dad, he secretly phoned my wonderful man while I was out and got him to measure the shelves at either side of my cooker!
Yes. There is a tile missing behind the cooker. It's a long story! Hopefully it will be with us soon!
Isn't it beautiful, I hope he enjoyed making it because I've asked him for another piece to edge my dresser shelf! Then as if that wasn't enough, he'd made me a matching photo frame with my children's last school photo inside. I blubbed uncontrollably!
The embroidered box was also made by my dad and contained my shelf edging. Here's a close up.
I wish I'd taken photos of my mums gifts before I'd opened them. They're always so beautifully wrapped with ribbons and trims. This one was a box of scrummy fabric and ribbon bits and pieces, I'll be dipping into this for weeks to come!
The key ring is from my lovely friend Sam, we both used to work a very long shift together at Marks and Spencer and I miss her 'shed loads!'
And lastly the very generous gift from my wonderful man. My very own laptop, so now I have no excuses for not posting regularly. No more queueing up for the family computer, or waiting for the children to finish their homework!
I'll save the rest of my birthday post for next time, as after this marathon gift opening session I headed off to our local market hall for a table top sale!... Well it was in aid of the local primary school!!!
So from my little corner, cheerybye for now. Fi x

Three 'underground' Chinese bishops remain prisoners
Catholic World News - February 15, 2010
The Chinese new year finds three Catholic bishops of the "underground" Church still in police custody, with the faithful seeking in vain for information about the whereabouts of Bishop Jia Zhiguo, who was arrested last March. The release of two "underground" priests in the Zhengding diocese offer a positive sign for loyal Catholics.

Reviews, Visits, and Rankings / Visiting Stanford« on: May 17, 2007, 11:12:57 AM »
I'm flying out this weekend. Anything in particular I should do, see etc? I've never been in the area or CA at all for that matter so suggestions are welcome. If it matters, I'm currently on waitlist there, but in at Harvard and at UVA (with $$$).
Law School Applications / Apply now or next Fall?« on: December 23, 2006, 09:57:27 AM »
I am trying to decide whether I should apply to law schools now or early next fall, relevant info and situation below:
LSAT 171, GPA 3.95 actual, 4.01 LSDAS. Just took the LSAT this month, letters of recommendation all either accounted for or have at least been sent by my recomenders. I initially intended to apply ASAP for fall 2007, but I realize its late in the cycle and my chances may not be the best. Also I did not expect to do as well as I did on the LSAT and originally intended to go to either GMU with UVA as a optimistic goal. Now based just on the stats it looks like UVA should be nearly a given (if its not too late already) and Chicago, Stanford and Harvard are perhaps possibilities worth thinking about.
What would you guess my chances of getting into those schools is now as compared to if I wait till next fall, then apply early (say September or whenever they start accepting apps)?
If I apply now (or within the next couple of weeks) and get rejected does that hurt my chances for getting in next fall? Would there be a big difference in the amount of $$ I can expect from schools if I apply now vs next fall? This is one that I really have no insight on and would make a huge difference, please comment if you can.
Other random thoughts......
On a personal note, I think that if I go to UVA I'd prefer to go this fall, for the others I could go this fall, but wouldn't mind an extra year to get things sorted here (I have a house to sell, lots of crap to move/sell/put in storage etc).
For school selection (based on what I've read, please add to, correct or comment as you see fit),
UVA Pros: Moderate political climate, good academic reputation and location. Its about an hour and a half away from where I live now and I'd probably keep the house I currently have and come home on weekends. Life would be fairly simple.
Cons: Perhaps I could do better, want to work somewhere other than DC or NYC once I'm out of school perhaps CA or even Denver or TX.
Chicago Pros: I'm a huge Law and Econ fan, was an Econ major for undergrad and have been working as an economist of sorts for the past two years. I really admire Posner and have read a lot of his work. National recognition and ability to get a job most anywhere.
Cons: I'm not terribly crazy about the climate or living in a big city, but I've grown up in the DC metro area and can handle it just fine if need be. Location isn't a huge deal to me. Might not be able to get in this admissions cycle.
Stanford: Pros: Laid back atmosphere, great reputation and the bicycling. Although I've never lived on the west coast I think I'd like it a lot. I'm into outdoor sports (bicycling, motocross, aviation etc) and always wanted to try life on the west coast.
Cons: Probably not a lot of like-minded students or faculty (I'm a free-market economist type), fairly small, might have a hard time finding classes in the fields I like (Law and Econ, Constitutional Law, Antitrust, International Trade law...). Probably won't be able to get in this admissions cycle.
Harvard Pros: Huge academic base with it seems experts in every field, name recognition, probably the best job prospects.
Cons: Seems it might be a bit impersonal and overly competitive, not crazy about moving to MA, but again, its not a big deal to me. Probably won't be able to get in this admissions cycle.
About me:
I'm 24, been working for the past 2.5 years as a junior economist at a federal think-tank. Econ major for undergrad at GMU, married to a wonderful lady and fellow GMU Econ grad, own a modest house in the outskirts of NoVA. I find Law very interesting and believe my personal strengths would allow me to do very well in the field. I enjoy life very much and have lots of fun out-door hobbies. Don't want to live in NYC or work 90 hours weeks. Particularly interested in careers that would leverage my knowledge and love for economics or my passion for freedom (i.e. constitutional law).
Thanks and have a great Christmas!

Mulit-Select Issue - timing?
I rely on multi-select a lot as I'm frequently pushing a bunch of tasks to today, or selecting a set of tasks to work on a few days out.
I'm not sure if some sort of change has happened or not, but I noticed about 2 weeks ago issues with multi-select.
What happens is that I multi-select a bunch of tasks, and then by the time I mouse to the top to 'change to today' they are no longer selected.It seems to almost be a timing issue, but I'm doing it pretty quickly. I have also tried continuing to hold down the command key while I mouse to the top, but this doesn't seem to change things. Even being careful, this is happening to me about 25% of the time I multi-select. Any tips?
I'm using Todoist web on a Mac Firefox - mostly.
All responses
Hi Mark,
If you open up Todoist in another browser, does this still occur? Also, which version of Firefox are you running?
Firefox 25.0.1 mac.
Yes, tried in in Safari - same issue.
Hello Mark,
Thank you for your report, we've been able to reproduce this issue and we're looking into it now.
It seems to be sync-related. If you perform one action such as move a task's due date and then start multi-selecting before or after the sync starts, it will deselect everything after it ends.
Best regards,
Huh, I thought I was just clumsy. FYI, if it helps to know this only started in the last few weeks, have no issue before. I'll wait to hear back.
This is driving me nuts. It just took me about 4 trys to move a set of tasks to 'today.' Any update on this? I have tried watching the sync icon in the top right and not multi-selecting when it's active, but it doesn't seem to help.
We're very sorry for the inconvenience, it will be fixed soon in the upcoming update.
Best regards,
Hi, is there any update in timing for this fix? About half the time I multi-select I lose the selection before I can change the date. I have been removing due dates so I use as few dates as possible. This is by far the worst problem I had had with ToDoist.
We're sorry for the inconvenience, we'll publish our next big update soon, most likely in January and it will correct this issue.
Best regards,
Todoist Next is terrific and seems to fixed this completely. No issues at all. You guys are a very strong support team. http://blinkassociates.com/blog/to-do-re-do-2014/

Off-Campus Semester and Summer Programs
Students of
colleges have the opportunity to live and learn in Latin America through the Latin American Studies Program based in San Jose, Costa Rica. The program introduces students to a wide range of experiences through the study of the language, literature, culture, politics, history, economics, ecology, and religion of the region. Living with a Costa Rican family, students experience and become a part of the day-to-day lives of typical Latin Americans. Students also take part in a service opportunity and travel for three weeks to nearby Central American nations. Students participate in one of four concentrations: Latin American Studies (offered both fall and spring terms); Advanced Language and Literature (limited to Spanish majors and offered both fall and spring terms); International Business and Management (offered only in fall terms); and Tropical Sciences (offered only during spring terms). Students in all concentrations earn 16-18 semester credits.
