Tulips: Mieke Spruit, Pioneer Flower Farm
"This is a tough one, as we have a lot of favourite flowers. If I had to pick one for the spring it would be tulips. I love working in the yard year-round, with the bulbs you will need to plant in the fall and in the spring they pop up. They are low maintenance and look good in the spring when you need to add some colour to your yard. In terms of landscaping, what we do is plant all our bulb flowers about 12-14 inches in the ground so that in the spring we can plant annuals on top after the bulb varieties have bloomed."
Mieke's tip: The biggest thing you have to think about with using the bulbs is to make sure they dried off completely before taking off the leaves off.

Patience running thin...
I will be 39 weeks this Sunday with my first. I don't get any sleep, I can barely eat because of nauseousness (which has lasted 7 of the 9 months), I have intense pressure on my cervix, sciatic nerve, and pelvic bones. To top it off I wake up each morning with a sore stomach/abdomen. I think its contractions that are happening during the night but not sure, it doesn't wake me up. Any advice to help the wait?

Unfortunately I am only 33 weeks and in the same boat. I have been on bedrest for the last 3 weeks, and having the same problems. As far as nauseaousness I've tried just about everything, the only thing that seems to work for me is a plain waffle, and lots of water. With your sore stomach, my doctor says it probably is contractions, they're just not intense enough for you to wake up and notice them. At 39 weeks you are considered Full Term, so you can try different things to help the process of bringing on labor. Castor Oil, Mild to moderate exercise (cleaning house), if you plan on breastfeeding-getting your nipples ready, and the old standby of intercourse- the sperm helps to thin and dilate your cervix.posted 03/28/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
39 weeks ... you are almost there!!! First and foremost, if you are not waking up, they are not contractions! Try sleeping on the couch on in a recliner with lots of pillows. Im sure you have heard smaller meals more times daily - but use that with bland food and ginger-ale. Sciatic nerve and pelvic bone, try using one of those big excercise balls, sit on it and rotate your hips back and forth, side to side. Otherwise, just do whatever makes you comfortable and happy. These things worked for me, so hopefully they will for you as well! Good luck!posted 01/22/2008 by justbnamom

Santa and Mrs. Claus will appear in Santa's Workshop where children may drop off their holiday "wish lists," Crow said. Each child will receive a special treat.

Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Owen Farrell landed four penalties as England edged a brutal showdown with Ireland to register their first victory in the city since 2003.Continuous rain took its toll on the match as a spectacle, but it remained a compelling battle of ferocious intensity that was decided by Farrell's kicking accuracy. Ronan O'Gara booted Ireland's points after he had replaced the injured Jonathan Sexton on the half hour mark and the Irish will lament their handling, even allowing for the conditions.A well-judged kick by Farrell put England deep into Irish territory and they nearly scored the match's first try but Tuilagi just failed to hold onto Youngs' chip.Two penalties from the nerveless Farrell restored England's six-point cushion - while they had been reduced to 14 men.It was then Ireland's turn to benefit from Garces' whistle, but on the second of two penalties O'Gara - who was enduring a poor afternoon - ghosted the outside of right post.Farrell did little better with five minutes to go, missing a kick that would have given England a crucial nine-point cushion.There was an efficiency to England's game that was missing in the Irish and it was this hard-nosed approach that enabled Stuart Lancaster's side suffocate the remainder of the game.Speaking after the game, Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip sought reasons to explain a frustrating defeat.There were a lot of sore guys in the changing room, particularly because of the hits they took but also because they lost in a green jersey at home.Ireland captain Jamie Heaslip"I don't want to blame the conditions because both teams played in them," Heaslip said."There were a lot of knock-ons and unforced errors. I don't know what caused all the errors."It was frustrating and we constantly tried to regroup and go again. England played a good pressure game."There were a lot of sore guys in the changing room, particularly because of the hits they took but also because they lost in a green jersey at home."Ireland will remain in title contention if England lose one of their remaining three games and Declan Kidney refused to concede his team's dream of winning the championship is over."This gives England a bit of daylight with the other five side on two points each with three matches to play," Kidney said."We're extremely disappointed because that wasn't the result we wanted. Let's see what France come up with at Twickenham. England have to go to Cardiff too."There's still a hell of a lot to play for. What we have now are three more opportunities to get three wins. Let's get to eight points and see where we are at the end of it."The Grand Slam is a wonderful thing to win, but first and foremost you play for the championship and we're still well in for that." © UTV Share Share Share

Hey guys,
Ive found BMC Virus used with some decent components for $1000. Its a hard tail tho. I just sold my 2005 Top Fuel for $1300. I think the fuel was a good bike but still being almost 5 years old, it wasnt up to speed on technology. Plus, I needed the cash.
Welp, its time to hit the woods here and I want another rig. The delema is I want a nice, new rig that I can build as money permits but If I do that, Ill be on the sideline. The woods season starts here Tuesday. Should I buy the hardtail or sit on it?
Id love to build me a Titus or Yeti but I dont ride in the woods that much. Yes, Im a roadie most of the year but the road group turns to the woods after daylight savings and I dont wanna be left out. I shoulda just kept the Top Fuel.

Speed RacerBy Posted: May 27, 2005
"We did four days of training at Willow Springs [International Raceway in California] at Danny McKeever's Fast Lane Racing School. It's an actual driving school that Toyota, the sponsor, puts us through. So, while we were there, everyone was sizing each other up, seeing who was faster. Then we got to practice at Long Beach. Two weeks later, we practiced again and then had qualifying the next day. The day after that was the race. Overall, it was an eight-day commitment, so only people who really wanted to do this did it."
"Let me take you through the race and tell you exactly what happened. Basically, we started with qualifying, and I qualified fastest. I was faster than the pros, which was really good bragging rights because one of the pros, Rhys Millen, who's ex-racer Rod Millen's kid, was not too happy about that [laughs]. That was fun because he tried to beat me in qualifying because I beat him in practice as well. I was like, two seconds faster than the next qualifier, and two seconds [in racing] is like the difference between winning $100,000 and winning $1,000,000. It's a lot."
The First Crash
"Starting out, I was on the inside front row, [ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT's] Mark Steines was next to me, [GREY'S ANATOMY's] Patrick Dempsey was directly behind me, [Olympic gold-medal swimmer] Aaron Peirsol was next to Patrick and then it was Frankie Muniz. It was a rolling start and we went down the street and into turn one at about 100 miles an hour. Patrick made a move up the inside and I looked at him in the mirror just a little bit too long to try and cover my angle. I had a really bad entrance into the corner and I lost the rear end and slammed into the tire wall! When you slam into the tire wall, it makes a lot bigger noise than you think. It really didn't do that much damage to the car — just a lot of dings and the mirror was broken. Then, everybody passed me."
"I thought it was all over for me. I'm sitting there in the car and everybody's going by me. I was hoping nobody else crashed into me because it was at the end of turn one, which is a really dangerous turn, and everyone was going pretty fast and I thought, 'I've blown it.' I was like, 'You are such an idiot!' But, I thought, 'I'll just see if this thing starts,' and it did. I thought I might be able to drive it back to the pits and watch the rest of the race. So, I started driving and then started driving it harder and all of a sudden, the pros were right [on top of me]. Rhys Millen was right on my tail, and they kept waving this flag that I thought was the debris flag. All these things are going through my mind: 'Are there bits hanging off the car? Am I dripping oil everywhere? Is my wheel falling off?' I didn't think my car was straight anymore after that hard hit."
Back In The Race
"I couldn't get my head around the fact that the car was still driving, but it felt fine, so I just put my head down drove. I didn't see those flags anymore. (Later on, I realized that they were passing flags, which is an information flag to let you know that there's someone else behind you.) I let Rhys by me at the end of the first lap, and then I followed him and we started catching the back of the celebrities. We worked our way past [former L.A. Laker] Karl Malone and then [singer] Meat Loaf. I lost Rhys after awhile because he put a few cars in between us. Then, I saw Patrick's car and I was like, damn, 'Patrick's right there. That means I'm getting close to the front.' Now, I'm thinking that I've got a chance to get third or second or something. I got from 14th all the way up to like 5th place. Then I saw Justin Berfield from MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE and I got around him and saw Frankie in the distance. I thought, 'He's in first. I'm going to take him.'"
The Home Stretch
"There were three turns to go. I was in second place celebrity, third place overall. It was a great comeback. I was really, really happy with it. I was laughing because I had already had such a great drive because I got myself all the way back up to almost an impossible first place for celebrity. I was catching up to Aaron. I was going as hard as I could. He was watching me in the mirror going, 'I'm not going to let him pass. I'm going to brake really late.' Well, he broke way too late, and I broke a little bit later than he did. I didn't even look at the turn. I didn't look at the brake markers. All I saw was the tire wall coming at me and I'm thinking, 'Oh, damn. This is going to really hurt [laughs].' You could see the rear of my car lifted like a half-foot off the ground when it hit, so I went in there pretty hard."
The Moment Of Truth
"I immediately put it into reverse, but when I went to put it in gear I put it third by mistake and stalled the car. 'Damnit!' I really thought my car was completely screwed that time because the hood had buckled. It looked like a real good fender bender. I got the car rolling and Frankie came by me and on my momentum, there was nothing I could do. If I wouldn't have stalled it in third, I would have come in second overall and first in the celebrities, even though I crashed twice. I panicked. It's one of those things that replays over and over in your head when you're sleeping at night [laughs]. It just bugs the s--- out of you. I'm better now, but the first week, Patrick and I called each other every day and said, 'I just can't stop thinking about the fricking race!' It was fun. I wrote a huge e-mail the next day to tell all my friends about the race and to do a little therapy on myself [laughs]."

"I won't deny that I could have said something in a fit of anger, but I will not apologise," said Shah Rukh Khan Thursday, adding that the security officials from the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) manhandled children and that they should say sorry for their rudeness.
"I don't think that my behaviour was incorrect or I did something illegal. I think what I did was correct. They are my kids and I have a responsibility towards them. I will not apologise. They (officials) should apologise to me," Shah Rukh told reporters here.
Co-owner of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), the Bollywood superstar's statement came Thursday as he faced a lifetime ban on entering the Wankhede Stadium after he allegedly turned up drunk at the ground and misbehaved with security guards and cricket officials.
The incident took place Wednesday night after his Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League match at the stadium.
The 46-year-old allegedly misbehaved and pushed the security guard at the stadium, following which he also abused officials from the MCA when they tried to intervene late Wednesday night.
"I had gone to pick up my children who were there to watch the match. I went there, congratulated my team and when I came back, I saw that there a gentleman was manhandling the children. They were pushing little girls. I just told him that this is not the way to behave," said Shah Rukh.
"He (the official) spoke something in Marathi, something which I can't even repeat…I said he should not speak to me like this. It is extremely disturbing to see the way they manhandled children. Their behaviour is unpardonable. They were extremely highhanded. I won't deny that I could have said something in a fit of anger," he added.
Shah Rukh said he possesses good sportsman's spirit and that he would never ever behave in a bad manner.
"We are public figures. We are actors and we will never ever behave rudely," he insisted. "There was no argument with the cops. They were just trying to control the fight. They said, 'Aap ghar jao hum dekh lenge'."
A complaint has been registered in Mumbai's Marine Drive police station by the MCA officials. Assistant Commissioner of Police Iqbal Shaikh said the actor was "smelling" of liquor.
Commenting upon that, SRK said: "I was not drunk. I just drink socially. It is an easy way to pick on the celebrities and say things like that they were drunk or were angry." – IANS

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Blocker
Resolution: Fixed

Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: Quiz
Environment:Moodle 1.9.1 (Build 20080703)
Affected Branches:MOODLE_19_STABLE
The Group menu in Quiz Module no longer works as before: all students are displayed regardless of what group is chosen.
Since installing Build 20080703 yesterday, I can no longer view the Quiz results of specific groups. For example, I have a course with 6 groups, each group contains about 40 students. Whether or not I select 'All participants' or a specific group, the results of all students are displayed.
I have attached two screen shots: one shows part of the results screen in which 'All participants' are chosen. The second screen shot shows the results in which a certain group (2008 Classes AB), has been selected, but still all students are displayed. Note that the student name visible in both screen shots is not in Group '2008 Classes AB', and so should not be visible in the second screen shot.
This bug does not seem to effect other activities in which it is possible to view student data according to groups.

I think the problem here is a usability problem. The default for what to show in the report has recently been changed to 'all attempts'. This is all attempts on the quiz whether they are students or not and does not respect groups. I disabled this option when a group is selected in HEAD but not in 1.9 stable. Now this option is disabled in 1.9 stable when a group is selected.
This is in HEAD. Before the bug was reported for the 1.9 branch I had done something similar in HEAD.

The Lunchbox is a wonderful tale of two strangers, and how a dabba forges a beautiful relationship between these two individuals. The film explores how even amidst the busy life led by people in a metropolitan city, little things like a lunchbox can bring happiness in someones life. I play Ila, a young married woman who lives a simple life, without any modern amenities. The home is her world and cooking is her talent. She is someone who purely exists, and is ignored all the time by her husband.
Casting coup
I had done a crime-thriller called Peddlers in 2012, which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival. The film was produced by Guneet Monga and Anurag Kashyap. Later Guneet showed my work to director Ritesh Batra, he liked it and asked me to read the script. The moment I saw the script, I fell in love with it and immediately agreed.
Stepping stone
I come from an army background, so changing schools and meeting new people was very normal for me. Post 1994, I finally settled down in Delhi and completed my graduation from Lady Shri Ram College. While in college, I took a keen interest in debates and loved participating in co-curricular activities. One day, I confessed to my mother that I was interested in a career in performing arts. The journey was tough, as I had to start working from a grass root level. The first time people noticed me was in a music video called Tera Mera Pyaar, which was sung by Kumar Sanu. Post that, I have been associated with theatre and have also done quite a few advertisements. Although my experience has been good, there was an urge to move on and do interesting things. That is when, I decided to take up film offers.
First shot
The first time I faced the camera for this film was for the climax sequence, which was a very crucial scene. It was shot at Churchgate, and this was also the first time that I met both Nawaz and Irrfan. We had a casual chat, before we commenced shooting. I wasnt nervous at all, as I have faced the camera before. The stories of both the protagonists were shot separately, so I didnt get a chance to meet Irrfan again.
Stumbling block
I had the luxury to live with the films script for a long time, which proved

Market Minute: Apple Tops Coke as Biggest Brand
For the first time, Apple has seized Coke's title as the world's biggest brand.
For the first time, Apple has seized Coke's title as the world's biggest brand.
Successful companies may become giants, with large catalogs of products, but they frequently rely heavily on just one brand for a major chunk of their sales and profits.
By Mike Sauter Once again, Coca-Cola (KO) landed the top spot in Interbrand's ranking of the most valuable brands in the world, with Apple (AAPL)...
Global consulting firm Interbrand recently released its annual list of the top 100 Global Brands. And if you take three guesses as to the most popular brand in the world, there's a good chance you'll get it on the first try.
Interbrands' latest annual ranking of brand value once again has Coca-Cola as No. 1. But rising three spots within the Top 10 is Google. Now in the fourth spot, the search giant trails archrival Microsoft by only one rung on the brand-value ladder.
Vudu. JooJoo. Boorah. It almost seems as if companies are just randomly picking names for their latest product or the company, out of a hat. But consumers would be surprised at how much actual thought (and money) goes into the process of dubbing a tobacco maker Altria or an instant coffee Via.
In another blow to the No. 1 car company, Toyota has been ordered to look into potential brake defects on the latest version of its hybrid Prius, one of its best-selling cars.

The Following – Season 1 Episode 7 – Recap and Review – Let Me Go
Recap and review of The Following – Season 1 Episode 7 – Let Me Go:
Tonight's episode of The Following feels like it set the real plot of the series in motion. And not a moment too soon, I suppose, as the series just got renewed for a second season. But here's the thing: "Let Me Go" is the episode that definitively caused me to give up whatever lingering faith I had in the show. This really has nothing to do with the episode itself, as it's a perfectly serviceable hour of drama. No, I'm more resigned about what it means for what it implies for the series going forward. The episode lays down the track for the season ahead, and from the looks of it, we're getting a story that is going to be as rife with logistical inconsistencies as the last several episodes. I mean, they must be doing something right if people are watching, but the premise is only sustainable by dicking around the audience, and I can't see such a viewing experience ever being rewarding, although I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting from a crime drama about a serial killer who bases his entire M.O. around the work of Edgar Allen Poe.
So we continue off of last week's 11th hour revelation that Carroll (James Purefoy) was suing the prison for violating his 8th Amendment rights. As we kick off the episode, Carroll has secured a transfer to a different prison, and while it appears that this is due to the aforementioned rights violation from when Ryan (Kevin Bacon) broke Carroll's fingers, it turns out to have been engineered by the prison warden, who is compelled to give Carroll what he wants since the followers have abducted his college-aged daughter. This begs the question of why Carroll even needs the warden's daughter in order to secure a transfer, if he already has a legit case with the footage of Ryan breaking his fingers? For that matter, you'd think the news would be covering this case far more substantially than they are (which is to say, not at all), since this is a death row inmate who's petitioning the courts and arguing that his rights have been violated. You couldn't write a scoop like that (well, unless you write for The Following). Ryan discovers that the warden's daughter has been kidnapped, and that Carroll isn't actually in the armored car that is supposed to be transporting him to his new prison.
It's ultimately revealed that Carroll escaped in the trunk of his lawyer, Olivia (Renee Elise Goldsberry), whom he then goes on to murder while Ryan can do nothing else but listen on the other end of the phone as the frightened lawyer has the life choked out of her. I'll say this: the show finally found an effective way to make Carroll seem not only threatening (beyond simply what his followers can do on his behalf), but also frighteningly unhinged. When Purefoy allows the veneer of suave, British decorum to drop away, he plays quite the slimy, contemptible villain. And Kevin Bacon continues to do exemplary work portraying Ryan as a tortured do-gooder who is not only someone we want to root for, but someone who deserves to be rooted for, as he's every bit as resourceful and determined as Carroll is twisted. Yet neither man's performance can salvage the material, as the script is filled with overly-scripted contrivances, rendering the story itself completely arbitrary.
Take last week, for example: the writers needed an excuse to have Jacob/Paul/Emma escape with their lives, so hey, let's write it so that Carroll has followers in the police force now! And it continues into this week: The writers need a way to get Carroll out of prison, so they script the cops to be as lousy at their jobs as Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. Then they need Carroll and his followers to see that Ryan is closing in on them, so that they can get then get the drop on him in the stairwell in the climax. So the writers have Ryan and Mike (Shawn Ashmore), like complete morons, loudly announce their presence in the mall complex to where they've tracked Carroll, instead of simply approaching him once they spot him on the second floor above them. Of course Carroll is going to escape when you're shouting "FBI! MOVE!" at the top of your voice to a bunch of startled pedestrians who then go out of their way to get in yours. And then Ryan and Mike split up, which might seem smart from a tactical standpoint, but is really only there so that Ryan can be cornered by Joe and his followers. It's at this moment, with Ryan and Carroll face-to-face in the stairwell, that the show lost me.
Carroll, now decked out in a suave, expensive-looking suit, explains to Ryan that this is merely the first chapter in the "novel" he has planned. In essence, Carroll reveals that he's plotted out every contingency, and that everything that's happened up to this point is by his design. What this basically means, for the show, is that our protagonists won't actually be allowed to succeed unless Carroll allows them to. He might allow Ryan and company to dispose of one of his followers, sure. But that'd be the only victory he'd allow this early in the story. And the followers, as evidenced, are completely expendable, given how many of them he's got, and how willing they are to give their lives to his cause. So really, what this episode tells us is that Ryan isn't going to be allowed to make any progress. Realistically, he can't be allowed to, or else we wouldn't have a show. I would love for the series to surprise me and go in a completely different direction for the latter half of season one, or maybe even bring in an entirely new killer for season two, but we've been given no indication that the show has any intention of portraying Carroll as anything less than omnipotent, and Ryan as anything less than determined, but always coming up short. I suppose part of good drama is delaying gratification for the audience, but we're seven episodes in, and it doesn't seem like Ryan has made any headway at all. If anything, he's fallen behind considerably. It's actually pretty troubling, when you think about it. This isn't how a high-concept drama should be done, yet it's still remarkably successful for a primetime, network drama in 2013. So they clearly must know what they're doing, at some level. Although equating something's quality with its popularity is a losing proposition.
One of the few bright spots of the episode is in the end, as Ryan rescues the warden's daughter and discovers that he just missed Joey, who'd been there alongside Emma and another cohort of Carroll's ("Sorry Mario, the princess is in another castle!"), while intercut with the image of Carroll being taken to the headquarters of his cult out in the middle of nowhere. There, he finally comes face-to-face with his son, and Joey (Kyle Catlett) realizes that this is his father, and voices this observation — at which point Carroll, fighting back tears and the overwhelming emotion of being kept away from his only son for years on end, says, "Yes. Yes I am." It would be touching if it weren't about an innocent boy being reunited with the immutably corrupt, murderous father he's been sheltered from (and for damn good reason). But Purefoy's restrained, poignant performance really brings it home, and makes the scene worthwhile, although poor Joey, having a poor man's Edgar Allen Poe for a father. Joey, for his part, nearly gets himself killed before all this. In the B-plot of the episode, Emma (Valorie Curry) takes Joey to one of the other followers, who has an unhinged madman under his employ. This madman isn't a follower of Carroll's, he simply aided the follower in his abduction of the warden's daughter. When Joey discovers the warden's daughter trapped, he goes about setting her free, an act which gets himself and Emma in big trouble — at least before the follower comes along to set things straight with the madman. It's all kind of pointless, and seems to serve little other purpose than to try and get us to sympathize with Emma by having her be protective of Joey. I can appreciate the attempt, but it's still not enough to bridge that moral gap to where I can look at Emma as anything other than a complete monster (ditto that for Jacob and Paul, neither of whom we see this week, leaving us to wonder if Paul's pulled through, and if Jacob really stuck with him throughout. It was actually pretty smart of the showrunners to save the continuation of that plot for a less crowded episode).
Ultimately, "Let Me Go" is an episode that questions the resolve of its viewers. Can you stomach the bleakness? The lack of forward plot movement? These are all questions that, given the ratings, many viewers will be able to answer with a resounding "yes." Others still might not even see it as a problem, enjoying the show, its characters, and its stories as they do. And I don't begrudge those viewers that choice one bit. But I fear I'll never likely be one of them. The series will need to develop beyond its horror movie trappings, evolving instead into something more nuanced. As it stands right now, I don't know if that will ever happen. Regardless, I'm in this for the long haul. With any luck, I won't regret that decision when it's all said and done.

For you baby-boomers, we're not talking about the Grateful Dead. It means to remove the old flowers. Rose bushes are fruit trees in disguise and they will attempt to "set fruit." When you remove the spent blossoms, you interrupt the fruiting cycle and stimulate the plant to fruit again, producing another bloom cycle.
If you don't cut the blossoms, they become the "hip" or seed pod and the bush stops blooming. If the plant is healthy and strong:
If you own a shrub rose, like Rugosa, where hips are part of the display, just clear away the spent petals.

How to Cook with Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are one of my absolute favorite foods. I rarely go to the grocery store without picking a few up to have on hand for a quick lunch, side dish or healthy snack throughout the week; but it hasn't always been that way. Only in recent years have I let the sweet, orange variety reign supreme in my heart over traditional white potatoes. But since making the switch I've reaped some serious health benefits, and not to mention satisfied my sweet tooth.
Health benefits: Sweet potatoes are loaded with essential vitamins and minerals like vitamins C, B6 and D, which help promote overall health, prevent such serious health risks as heart attacks and bone decay, and also ensure proper immune system function.
They're also high in fiber, which helps promote proper digestion and the body's ability to maintain a healthy weight. A lesser known health benefit of sweet potatoes is that they are loaded with iron, which is essential for white blood cell production, stress management, optimum immune health and the metabolizing of protein. They're also a great source of magnesium, potassium, and carotenoids like beta carotene, which help strengthen eyesight, boost immunity to disease and even ward off cancer.
Nutritional statistics: One cup of cooked sweet potato with skin contains approximately 180 calories, 0 g fat, 41 g carbohydrates, 7 grams fiber, 13 grams sugar and 4 grams of protein.

Bariatric Surgery Patient Portal
New York Bariatric Group offers patients online access to the practice as well as many online tools for you and your family to keep up with your own success. Patients are able to requests change of appointments online, email staff members, purchase diet supplements, foods and beverages. To keep up to date with what's new in these services and tools we encourage every patient to subscribe to our Newsletter.
Fast – Track Program
The fast track program is for patients that decide they want to have bariatric surgery right away. Often when patients decide they want to have bariatric surgery, they also want to have it performed within a few weeks, instead of many months that are usually required prior to having surgery due to hurdles put in place by insurance companies. Most patients that enter the fast track program have already had insurance approval elsewhere. Alternatively, they would like to seek patient financing or pay cash for their procedure to have their bariatric surgery sooner and want to bypass some of the hurdles that some insurance companies require.
Some insurance companies make it very easy to obtain insurance approval, and these patients can also enroll in the fast-track program. Patients who enter into the fast track program will come in and have a private consultation with Dr. Garber, Dr. Holover, or one of the other surgeons at The New York Bariatric Group. We will then assist them to expeditiously complete any required preoperative medical work-up. Patients will then return for a second visit and will be scheduled for their bariatric surgery shortly thereafter. After surgery you will become a permanent part of our the New York Bariatric Group Weight Loss Program and you will be invited to follow-up in our after bariatric surgery care program as well as our bariatric surgery support groups to ensure that you continue to do well.
Mentorship Program
Many patients feel that they wish they has someone who went through the surgery to talk to, when struggling with lifestyle change issues after the surgery especially in the first several months after bariatric surgery. The mentorship program pairs a patient with a previous patient volunteer to provide that resource. As opposed to the public atmosphere of bariatric surgery support groups, this is one-on-one assistance and direct interactions with somebody who has been there, and done that.
Winner's Circle Personal Coaching
Working with a select group of area fitness experts with an extensive background catering to the needs of bariatric patients in metamorphosis, The New York Bariatric Group is able to offer personal fitness and life coach services in select areas of Long Island and New York.

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Review: Season 2 Premiere
By Steve West 5 years ago comments
One year ago British chef and food activist Jamie Oliver brought his revolution to America. Or to be more precise, he (along with producer Ryan Seacrest) brought it to our television screens. The lofty goals of the revolution are deceptively simple, yet nearly impossible to achieve. Essentially hed like to give kids school lunches that are made from whole foods prepared by a staff of cooks. No more processed junk, no more sugary milk, and no more nutritionally suspect items jiggling around on lunch trays.
Perhaps an entertaining little hour of TV isnt exactly going to inspire every parent out there to question the local school board about the food their child eats. Ironically thats a bit of the problem I have with Food Revolution, is that its displayed as entertainment more than anything else. Despite Jamie himself trying to tell the people of Los Angeles, where hes headed to for the new season, that this isnt reality programming. For those people hes right, but most of those watching at home are going to see it as more mindless entertainment. A tidbit of information to share with colleagues the next morning at work while enjoying Bagel Wednesday might prove to be the extent of "joining the cause" for most people.
Long before this season began news broke that Oliver was having trouble getting into the schools in LA to even examine the food, let alone try implementing the program. The second season not only acknowledges this hurdle, but makes it the first major obstacle for Oliver. So, as he did in Huntington, Jamie turns to the radio and a community kitchen to sound the call to arms. It happens to be the shows producer, Ryan Seacrest, who fills in for the far more caricature-esque DJ Rod this time around. But thats fine, because Jamie finds there to be far bigger obstacles in LA.
Banned from even entering the schools to examine the food, Oliver has the food brought to him. He then does a demonstration on how through a process the factories can take the scrap meat (which is normally used for animal feed) and make it safe to consume by humans. Its shocking, but if you arent aware of the ammonia soaked meat products being sold at every fast food joint in the country then youre just practicing deliberate ignorance. Ask yourself why a McDonalds hamburger makes you feel a little nauseous after you eat it.
The first episode of the new season is pretty much a redo of last year. Jamie is meeting a lot of resistance, but this time around the entire city is against him. Or it would seem. Parents dont show up to witness his stunt to display the many tons of sugar consumed on a weekly basis in LA area schools. The superintendent doesnt want Jamie anywhere near the system. And a local private fast food joint is willing to see if Jamie can make fast food healthy, but refuses to remove anything from his current menu. Aside from the restaurant owner (whos simply looking out for a business that pays for his livelihood) it is a sea of people sticking their heads in the sand.
Jamie Olivers Food Revolution will hopefully open some eyes to the enormous problem in America with childhood obesity and the role school lunch plays. Its a little sad that it takes a major network program for this to become a real national discussion. Oliver is a very charming guy, and its heartbreaking to watch him struggle with the bureaucracy. And if nothing else, the show is one of the more entertaining food centric programs currently on the air.
Jamie Olivers Food Revolution second season premiere airs Tuesday, April 12 at 8:00 PM ET.

Immigration Law
Immigration Law Questions? Ask an Immigration Lawyer.
Hello,my name is Judith. Thank you for this opportunity to answer your questions.
Basically, you will state that you came to the US eit the intention of returning to your country of last residence/nationality and that you have been given this opportunity to share your medical knowledge and skills to heal the men and women eligible for services through the Dept of VA.
Then you would go into what your specialty is and how it will benefit those who served the US and that despite not returning to your country, you will be giving those you treat the benefit of your US training.
The Director of the VA facility where you are being hired will provide the IGA letter going into detail about their efforts to fill the position and that you hold the qualifications they seek to be able to better treat those treated by the VA.
How does this sound?
I originally came to the US with the intention of returning to Canada after my post-graduate medical education. I have been given this opportunity to share my medical knowledge and skills to heal the men and women eligible for services through the Department of Veterans Affairs. I am in the specialty of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. My specialty serves a broad range of people – both those who have returned from war with any type of musculoskeletal injury (amputation, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury), and those who require inpatient rehabilitation after an acute illness/surgery/trauma. Although I have received my training, and graduated from a US residency program, my qualifications are not enough to pursue employment in Canada at this time based on their residency training requirements. I feel that despite not returning to Canada, there is a far greater amount of men and women who can benefit from my US training at the VA hospital.
That is very good. The VA is the one seeking the waiver so your statement of reason can be brief and to the point as yours is.
But it brings to my mind a question about why you are not qualified in Canada?
My specialty (and many other specialties) requires 5 years of post-graduate medical education in my field. In the US this specialty only requires 4 years of post grad education. Therefore I am forced to obtain a 1 year ACGME accredited fellowship. This will allow me to be eligible to sit for the required tests in Canada......then be supervised for another year in Canada....many many hoops.
Thank you for your help.
Ok, thanks you for the explanation.
I edited this just a bit
my qualifications do not meet the certification exam requirements and prevent me from pursuing (are not enough to pursue) employment in Canada at this time based on their residency training requirements.

Michigan employers are taking a closer look at the educational background of their current and future workers to see if their degrees came from diploma mills.
Federal officials think there are up to 500 such mills, some with up to 15,000 customers nationwide. The Federal Trade Commission said they earn $100 million per year. Submitting a bogus diploma is illegal in only six states. Michigan isn't one of them.
Officials say loopholes may allow employees to claim false educational qualifications.
Some employers learn after the fact that their workers' qualifications are inflated.

Sean Joyce Named Assistant Director of International Operations Division
Sean Joyce has been named assistant director of the FBI's International Operations Division (IOD). Director Robert S. Mueller, III appointed him to this position to replace assistant director Tom Fuentes, who retired.
"The International Operations Division's scope of responsibilities is greater than ever, given the importance that relationships with international law enforcement partners and other parts of the government hold to our overall national security mission," said Director Mueller. "Sean's knowledge and his experience in criminal and national security matters make him an excellent fit for the job."
Mr. Joyce entered on duty as an FBI special agent in 1987. Following the completion of training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, he was assigned to the Dallas Division, Fort Worth Resident Agency (RA), where he investigated violent crimes. He later investigated Colombian narcotics matters in the Miami Division. In 1994, Mr. Joyce was selected as a member of the Hostage Rescue Team.
In 1998, he returned to the Dallas Division as a SWAT team leader. He was designated the supervisory senior resident agent for the Fort Worth RA in 2002, with responsibility for the RA's Counterterrorism Squad, which earned the Attorney General's Award for Exceptional Service in 2004. The very next year, Mr. Joyce received the same award for his work in another counterterrorism matter.
Mr. Joyce was designated legal attaché to Prague in August 2005, and in 2007, received an award for Investigative Excellence for his work there. In 2007, he was assigned to the Washington Field Office as an assistant special agent in charge. The following year he was named section chief of the Counterterrorism Division's International Terrorism Operations Section, with responsibility for international terrorism matters within the United States.
He has served as the deputy assistant director of IOD since February 2009. In his role as AD, he will be responsible for more than 600 employees in 75 foreign and domestic locations. IOD leads the FBI's international mission to defeat national security and criminal threats by building a global network of trusted partners and strengthening the FBI's international capabilities.
A Boston native, he holds degrees from Boston College and Dartmouth's Amos Tuck School of Business.

HandsOn Central Ohio
FIRSTLINK Is Now HandsOn Central Ohio Yesterday we were FIRSTLINK. As of today, we're HandsOn Central Ohio.
Our new name reflects an organizational shift we've been going through over the past several years. In 2008 we became the local HandsOn Network affiliate, aligning us with volunteer action centers in more than 250 U.S. communities and 11 international locations. The HandsOn Network serves more than 83 percent of the American population and taps into a national culture of volunteerism.
"Times have changed, volunteers have changed and the needs of the community have changed," says Marilee Chinnici-Zuercher, president and CEO of HandsOn Central Ohio. "And FIRSTLINK has also changed. We have evolved. The new brand better reflects who we are, with a proactive, action-oriented and refreshed approach that embodies our continuing history of innovative ideas and services."
Since the mid-70s, FIRSTLINK has served as a clearinghouse for volunteers – a place where individuals could find civic engagement opportunities and where nonprofit organizations could locate volunteers for their programs. We also provided capacity-building training and services to organizations and individuals who wanted to make a difference through volunteering.
Over the past 30 years, hundreds of thousands of volunteers and individuals have contacted us through our 2-1-1 information and referral line. Last year alone, we answered more than 360,000 calls. Thousands more found what they needed on our website or in our Directory of Human Services.
As HandsOn Central Ohio, we will continue to support residents in need by connecting them with social services and enabling them to create change in their lives. In addition, we will expand our focus on volunteer efforts to include more group projects. Our staff will train the volunteer leaders who manage those projects.
"This new brand identity allows the organization to leverage a national identity, tap into a vast network of volunteer resources and better deliver on the promise to put people at the center of change," says Mary Menkedick, president of the HandsOn Central Ohio board of directors. "Although the name changed, the power to serve and enrich the Columbus community remains the same."

Los Angeles –– In a move that would commence local censorship, following a firestorm of controversy over anti-Semitic tweets in France, Twitter has apparently blocked access in Germany to the account of a neo-Nazi group known as Besseres Hannover due to its alleged hate speech. The move is the first implementation of Twitter's country-specific blocking.
Early this year, Twitter created the capability to block tweets and that policy allows it to block content in specific countries if tweets violate local laws, while still allowing Twitter users — err, customers — in other countries to see them.
Hence, the recently blocked tweets will no longer be visible to users in Germany although the rest of the world will be able to view them.
"We announced the ability to withhold content back in Jan. Now, we are using it for the first time re: a group deemed illegal in Germany," Alex Macgillivray, Twitter's general counsel confirmed it last night, by tweet, of course:
We announced the ability to withhold content back in Jan. We're using it now for the first time re: a group deemed illegal in Germany.
— Alex Macgillivray (@amac) October 18, 2012
Germany and France, for example, ban pro-Nazi content, but it is protected speech under the First Amendment here in the United States. As a result, Twitter could ban such content from users in Germany and France, but it would remain live for those in the U.S. That's what happened this week with Besseres Hannover. The group's Twitter feed is still live in the U.S., but has been blocked in Germany.
On the other hand, Twitter had received a request to close the account from German police, and recorded it, as is Twitter policy, on the Chilling Effects anti-censorship website:
The enclosed letter gives you the information that the Ministry of the Interior of the State of Lower-Saxony in Germany has banned the organization "Besseres Hannover." It is disbanded, its assets are seized and all its accounts in social networks have to be closed immediately. The Public Prosecutor (State Attorney's Office) has launched an investigation on suspicion of forming a criminal association.
It is the task of the Polizeidirektion Hannover (Hannover Police) to enforce the ban. The organization "Besseres Hannover" uses the Twitter account
I ask you to close this account immediately and not to open any substitute accounts for the organization "Besseres Hannover".
However, the blocked group is allegedly connected to a neo-Nazi organization in Hannover, Germany, where for obvious historical reasons neo-Nazi organizations are illegal. Due to Twitter's country-specific method of dealing with censorship, however, the account has not been closed.
The tweets and account are still available and visible from other countries … so the organization is now protesting, in English, about German censorship:
Look at this regime: They gossip viciously about china and russia but noone about them! freedom for #germany! #censorship #injustice #brd
— besseres-hannover (@hannoverticker) October 18, 2012
Nevertheless, Twitter's announcement earlier this year prompted retaliation from users who feared the micro-blogging service would honor takedown requests from repressive regimes. But Twitter CEO Dick Costolo said at the time that the new policy would simply allow the company to transparently deal with valid government requests to remove certain content.

OT" Josiah's disappearing act

oasysco, tied to the tracks, said:
> Miles,
> How old is he now???? He's in the service?
We signed for him to join at 17. He was going
to drop out of school on his 18th birthday anyway,
so we just shipped him off to Ft. Benning at the
start of the school year as he wished. He's 18
now. He was going to go to Airborn school, but
his post in Italy was overcrowded, so he ended up
at Ft Hood for now. He wanted to be training
to jump out of Bradleys and fight, so the army
(of course 8^) made him a HQ weenie. He heads to
the Sandbox this fall.

Heggy condemns the announcements of al-Aswani
| 1 June 2012
Dr. Tarek Heggy, writer and political thinker, has condemned the announcements of the novelist, Alaa al-Aswani who said: If Copts vote for Shafik, we will vote for Islam!
Heggy said such talk can be said only by an ignorant and uneducated person! and if a novelist like Alaa Aswani says so, he must be suffering from mental or psychological problems!
1- He is right
Aswani does need help to get rid of his arrogance and obsessions , and become \\\"normal\\\", again.I would like to see heggy Minister of Education.

The game started exactly like we didn't want it to...two missed shots and two turnovers as well as no defensive presence allowing UT to jump out to a quick 7-0 lead. The sisters started to settle down a bit and the defense showed up as the ladies were in the zone to try and give the shooters a problem. The big problem was the continued turnovers and poor shooting starting off 1-6. The longhornettes would extend the lead to 10-4 as the ladies just weren't doing a good job on UTs guards defensively. Two quick baskets including a needed bucket by Big C and a nice steal and layin by Moody to pull ISU within 2. The ladie had the chance to tie it or take the lead, but as is usual with this team they had a turnover...an over and back...that led to another UT bucket. Can't imagine how frustrating this has to be for the coaching staff as our ladies just don't seem to take good care of the ball. The key here was that the ladies kept battling. When UT had to set up their offense ISU was doing a good job of stopping them and rebounding.
Loz and Brynn would hit 3 pointers...beautiful shots to give the sisters their first lead at 14-12. It would continue to be a back and forth game with turnovers haunting both squads. Our offense continued to be a bit offensive as it ran with spits, spurts, and bumps. But, the points were coming from a variety of sources so that was good. What was nice to see was the reemergence of Big C as she picked up some nice points in the first half. She was much more active on the offensive end than I've seen in a while. Moved well and made her offensive game happen.
Neither of the teams seemed to be able to separate themselves as missed shots or turnovers would continue to bite both teams. ISU would have a 4 point lead and then it was tied up and back and forth it went.
Comment...these officials were as lost and lousy as all the others I've seen this year. Some really bad calls. Guess that is the rule of the conference this year. Great example was when UT was called for a charge, the officials conferred and then called it a blocking foul and then had to go to the monitor to call it a shooting foul. Wow.
This back and forth half finally ended with UT taking a 1 point lead into the half 26-25.
The second half would start off fast for the sisters. A flurry of blocked shots and three short shots by our ladies would give the sisters a 5 point lead. This was quickly countered as Fussell hit consecutive 3's. How in the world we don't cover the ONE girl who was scoring for UT I don't know. Suspect that was part of the message during the next timeout from coach Fen.
This half would continue to be much like the first with ISU holding a small lead in a very tentative manner for quite some time. One of the biggest things was UTs Gayle (their post) going to the bench early with four fouls. UT would continue to bomb from outside whenever possible. ISU would take their share too, but man we were ice cold. The one thing about ISU is that they will keep trying. 12% from outside midway through the half just won't cut it.
Frustrating is watching our 6' 7" post getting a shot blocked from behind. Wow. UT was staying in this game doing what they are horrible at - shooting the long ball. It was Fussell and others got in on the act to allow UT to edge out in front again. They were shooting 25% as a team in Big 12 play and were shooting over 40% tonight.
The Cyclones would answer back with two big threes of their own by Moody and Big C to retake the lead. Again though, just as our offense appeared the defense would disappear allowing UT to hang around.
Suddenly a 5 point lead by the Sisters would disappear with three consecutive turnovers that all led to UT points. We were rescued from a fourth straight turnover on a clock violation by a late foul in UT. Prins would cash in the FTs.
The ladies just really struggled down the stretch. They might get a score and the defense would let them down. They would get a defensive stop and the offense would break down. UT did just enough to hold them at bay. What was worse was the officials found their whistles and UT was benefiting. With about 5 left both teams were in the bonus and the game was tied. When the ladies played good D it seemed they didn't get the rebound. Even worse Pop picked up her 4th foul with just over 3 to play on a horrible call by the officials. Man, does it seem like the basketball gods are just not smiling on our sisters right now. Pop had to be frustrated as she appeared to be having a horrible night from the field. What the stat line doesn't show was the 9 blocked shots by UT. Many of those were on Pop.
As the game wound down it was fouls and turnovers on ISU that just hurt us the most. Pressure defense by UT really caused us fits. It was just enough to allow UT to work the clock and score just enough to keep us at arms length.
This game came down to three things. We couldn't handle the pressure defense and turned it over repeatedly late in the game. Pop couldn't score. When your leading scorer is held to 1-11 shooting its not a good night. Finally, fouls late put Texas on the line and they cashed just enough in to count.
This game is another that should have been in the win column . We just seem to be dysfunctional enough to keep putting ourselves in bad positions over and over again. In the Big 12 you can't help the other team out. Make 'em earn it girls!
They would keep battling and with 17 to go down by two, Pop would have a 1-1 to tie. The first...good. The second....good! Tie game with 17 seconds left. How many nail biters would this team endure? Unfortunately UT would hit a running layin to score with .5 seconds left. Wow...can we say snake bitten? Final score...Texas 62, ISU 60. The ladies drop to 0-5 in the conference for the first time ever. Good effort, but still too many mistakes.
Best stat of the game? The ladies went 17-19 from the line. Wow.
From the field our posts were 4-19. That won't cut it. Moody did some good things scoring, but a 4:5 assist to turnover ratio won't cut it. Three point shooting was horrible at 26%. That was the worst of it. But they battled and battled. Unfortunately, this team has zero margin of error, and this was too much.
Wow...am just heartbroken for these kids. Uncharted territory. Sure was good to hear them in the post game and hear them talk about what they need to do. Get Tech!

They really need to get a win under their belt to build some confidence. Right now, that ability (confidence) in the clutch just is not there. That's why all the heart breakers in games where the game plan was solid and they just couldn't finish.
Thank you acoustimac for the summary.
A heartbreaker but close losses are always better to read about than losses by tons of points. The ISU women will turn it around and this team remains one that has GREAT potential. Once they get more jelled as a team things will go more smoothly, some seasons that jelling just takes a little longer.
I hope a big crowd comes out on Sunday to watch the women beat Tech.

iCheapskate: 38 amazing free games for iPad and iPhone / iOS
It's strange to think that Apple's pricey mobile hardware led to an extremely diverse ecosystem of hugely affordable games. But whereas handheld consoles have historically been lumbered with expensive cartridges, Apple pioneered a digital-only approach and embraced all-comers - indies and majors alike - leading to a staggering number of titles being created for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
With such a selection on offer, the fight for gamers' eyes and thumbs now often involves minimising barriers to entry, and so thousands of free iOS games exist. Many of them would embarrass a type-in listing for a ZX81, but the standouts are among the best titles mobile gaming has to offer.
The 38 you'll read about here encompass a wide range of genres, from frantic arcade fare through to thoughtful multiplayer turn-based strategy. Although most of our choices include some kind of in-app currency system, none require payment in order to get some enjoyment from them; that said, if you love one of the games to death and want to reward the developer accordingly, they'll always be grateful for a few bucks sent their way.
38. Sky Force 2014 (iPhone/iPad)
iCheapskate: 35 amazing free games for iPad and iPhone / iOS
Sky Force titles have been providing old-school shoot 'em up larks on the iPhone since 2009, but this latest release takes things to a whole new level.
It's gorgeous, with beautifully rendered environments and waves of ships zooming about the place. More importantly, the addictive gameplay that's the hallmark of the series remains intact, giving you a dazzling blaster with plenty of character for no coins at all.
The sole drawback is that it can get a bit grindy, although you can always spend some IAP on a star doubler to help you upgrade your craft more rapidly.
37) Sid Meier's Ace Patrol (iPhone/iPad)
iCheapskate: 35 amazing free games for iPad and iPhone / iOS
What-ho! The master of turn-based strategy takes to the air, in this rather jolly version of World War I ace pilots and their victories over the bally enemy. Essentially chess in the clouds, you strategise your way to the best locations for yelling "Chocks away!" and blasting foes into oblivion. IAPs open up more missions, but there's plenty here for nowt.
36) Punch Quest (iPhone/iPad)
iCheapskate: 35 amazing free games for iPad and iPhone / iOS
Most endless runners are more concerned with your character leaping about like a deranged bunny. Not here, where the heroes punch their way to victory. Jab! Uppercut! Slam! Pummel! Eight fingers and two thumbs are apparently all you need to defeat evil — at least until you discover power-ups and find a tame laser-spewing dinosaur to ride!
35) Triple Town (iPhone/iPad)
iCheapskate: 35 amazing free games for iPad and iPhone / iOS
Triple Town tasks you with building a city on a tiny grid-based board, using a match-and-combine dynamic that has a curious grasp of evolution. Three bushes make a tree! Three tombstones make a church! All the while, bears roam about, making a nuisance of themselves and blocking spaces. Your free moves slowly replenish (you can buy unlimited turns for £2.49/US$3.99), but that won't bother you as you stare at the screen, trying to think a dozen moves ahead.
34) Royal Revolt (iPhone/iPad)
iCheapskate: 35 amazing free games for iPad and iPhone / iOS
A young Prince is sent to Bogsmarts to learn about magic. While he's gone, unruly relatives carve up his kingdom. That just won't do. A total of 58 castles are therefore ripe for the taking as the Prince and his army set about hacking, smashing and magicking their way to victory in this charming and generous real-time strategy title.
