Keeping your bed sheets clean and fresh helps make sleep more relaxing. This is a guide about cleaning bed sheets.
My husband leaves a yellow stain on the sheets, the full length of his body. It takes awhile to show up on new sheets but after awhile it is definitely there. It also shows up on the pillowcases and seeps into the pillow. Other women have told me they have the same problem.
It isn't an oil stain since he doesn't have oily skin. Does anyone know what it is or how to remove the stain? I have tried pure Javex and Borax, but that doesn't remove any of the stain. We would really appreciate knowing what the stains are and how to remove them. Thank you in advance.
By Emma from Moncton, NB
Okay, this happens to ME all the time! I'm the stain-maker! But so is my son, age 23! I'm 54, menopausal, with night sweats sometimes. I have an olive-toned complexion. My son's skin is more fair and I don't know if he sweats at night. I use washcloths when I shower, but maybe I should scrub more?! Weird. I only know that this happens with my son when he stayed at an apartment I owned in the city last year. He moved, and I took the sheets off his bed later and saw that they looked like mine!
How often do you change or wash your bed sheets and mattress pads?
By Maryeileen from Brooklyn, OH
I believe on Oprah the cleaning expert said that once a week for sheets and pillow cases was the norm.
Don't forget to clean your bed linen at least once a month. Everyone sweats, whether it's through their head which will release oils, or their feet or any where else and this will leave odors. Your body also has dead hair and skin that falls anywhere including your bed. So maybe cleaning the linen once a month might not be often enough for some, I guess it depends on how active you are.
By LRP from Lowell, MA
Does anyone know how to get body oils out of sheets and towels? My husband has very oily skin and the oils seems to set in our white sheets and towels. I have tried soaking and bleach to no avail. They still have a noticeable yellow cast to them. I don't want to change sheets twice a week or buy dark towels. His latex pillow is also a nightmare! I would appreciate any help, thanks!
Nancy from Michigan
Arm & Hammer in the yellow box. Add it to your detergent, filll the washer with warm water for a medium sized load and allow to agitate a couple minutes to mix, add the clothes and turn off washer for about an hour. After soaking set level to high and continue filling with warm water and allow it to complete the cycle.
I have a small closet where I keep bed linens. The closet smells okay, but the linens smell musty or moldy after just a few days, and I must wash them (again) before use.
Any ideas, please?
Linda, FL
Go to Lowes and buy some odor gel. It is under $4.00 And works great in my linen closet and also in the laundry room where my kitty litter pan is. There is no overpowering aroma to this gel like sprays and it's easier to use. Just lift off the top. Keeps out the bad odors.
Works for me,
Any suggestions on how to get massage oil out of sheets?
By CandaceK from Scottsdale, AZ
You need something to dissolve the grease. Try spraying them down with Mean Green (it's approved as a laundry pre-treatment) and let them sit, then wash in warm water with a strong detergent.
Mend small rips and tears in pillow cases and sheets before, you throw them in the washer. This will prevent them from ripping more.

How to Grow Your Subscriber List Organically
Many email marketers think that the bigger their list, the more money they will generate. This is only true if your subscriber list is made up of people who actually want to receive your emails. The key is quality over quantity. Purchasing a subscriber list may sound like a good idea, but it is actually one of the worst investments you can make. What good does it do to send email to people who don't even want it? Instead of increasing sales, you are more likely to increase your complaint and remove rate.
Rather than taking the easy and not-so-profitable approach of purchasing a list, you should focus on growing your subscriber database organically. It takes more effort, but it pays off. You may be asking yourself how does one go about obtaining more quality subscribers? The most obvious way is to put a signup form on your homepage. Instead of hiding it at the bottom of the page, put it somewhere that is noticeable at first glance. You can also accompany your email signup with an offer or special promotion that entices people to join your newsletter. If you already have a signup page on your homepage, try adding it to your checkout page as well. You can even go one step further and include a signup form on every page of your website to ensure that it can't be overlooked! Aggressive marketers have found success in pop-up sign up boxes for first time visitors, so that can be a tactic worth trying.
The most effective way to increase your subscriber base is through enhanced SEO. Bottom line, if you're website isn't receiving new traffic, it doesn't matter where your signup box is located on the website!
You can also add a signup link to your Facebook page (read a previous EmailDirect blog for instructions on how to do this). Keeping in line with social media, you can tweet links of your previous email campaigns or even tweet the actual signup page URL. Social media sites are a great place to promote your emails and get more quality subscribers. If you have a storefront business, ask your customers for their email address at the time of checkout. Own a restaurant? Pass out signup cards or insert them into the check presenter when you drop off the bill. Another easy way to collect email addresses in-person is to collect business cards for a weekly giveaway and then add everyone who entered their card to your subscriber database.
If you go to tradeshows, community events, mixers or other social events, start collecting business cards. Add these contacts to your personal address book and send an opt-in email asking them to join your business email list. If you can connect with people on a personal level, they are more likely to be loyal email followers!
There are so many ways to connect with potential and existing customers, so do whatever you can to develop a solid email list. Building a database of people who want your email and look forward to receiving it is one of the best things you can do for your email marketing program!

Era of CD Copying
Microboard DSR-8000 is an automatic CD-Recordable (CD-R) machine that lets the technically nonproficient user copy CD-ROMs or music discs. Users can burn information on a CD, drop it into CD-ROM drive and access it on a standalone computer or network. With CD-ROM drives now basic equipment on any computer, government agencies -- cities, counties, libraries -- can store years of records on a single disc, back up large amounts of data, distribute it quickly and easily, access it from any computer on the LAN in matter of seconds and view, fax or e-mail it without having to deal with paper or microfiche. The DSR-8000 also provides an ideal solution when a CD is damaged. Government agencies can easily duplicate another one from their master CD, and the damaged one becomes a shiny coaster. The DSR-8000 features a master read drive -- Plextor 12X -- and five 4X drives as writer drives. If an optional VMI card is added, up to 26 CD-Rs can be processed at 4X speed. Copying is as simple as inserting the master and blank discs and pressing a button. A liquid crystal display indicates copy progress. DSR-8000 is well-suited to high-volume CD-R duplications and ideal for every storage need. Additional information is available by contacting Microboard at 612/470-1848.

Babbling Browser
IBM has combined the capabilities of its ViaVoice OutLoud text-to-speech synthesizer with Netscape's Navigator browser, to create Home Page Reader, which translates Web text into voice. "The software uses a male voice to read text and a female voice to read links," said Paul Luther, IBM's marketing program manager for special needs. With Home Page Reader's fast-forward key, the user can skim Web pages and quickly locate the needed information. It requires a 150MHz processor, 32MB RAM for Microsoft Windows 95 or 98, or 64MB RAM for Windows NT. It costs $149. Additional information is available by contacting IBM Special Needs Systems at 800/426-4832.
Satellite Imagery Helps Human Rights
Weather satellites no longer limit themselves to cloud formations. Now they provide information that can be used by human-rights groups and policy-makers to uncover cases of genocide in war zones like former Yugoslavia and Kurdish groups in Turkey. Students at the School of Communication at American University in Washington, D.C., showed how high-resolution satellite data puts reporters in prohibited places and tracks human-rights abuses. The class, taught by Professor Christopher Simpson, teaches nontechnical students to read and interpret satellite images. The course is being offered both online and on campus. According to Simpson, "Satellite images are power tools that can capture images with a high degree of certainty, providing an important tool for policy-makers, journalists and human-rights activists." Students are also studying satellite imagery applications to monitor fires, man-made disasters and other crises. Additional information is available by contacting Simpson at 202/885-2037.

The Army learned the art of adaptation throughout the last 12 years of war, but is now moving into a period of innovation that will require critical investments for the force of the future.
"Adaptation is driven by some emergency and arguably what we've done for the last dozen years at war," Lt. Gen. Keith C. Walker, director of the Army Capabilities Integration Center and deputy commander for Army Futures, said.
Adding, "Our Army, as part of its lifecycle, was going through a period of adaptation."
Fresh from the 2013 "Campaign of Learning" senior leader discussions in Washington, D.C., Walker said examples of that adaptation included adjusting to the modular force, the development and deployment of the mine resistant ambush protected vehicle, jammers, and the way the Army operated.
Speaking at an Association of the U.S. Army Institute of Land Warfare Breakfast Form in Northern Virginia, Walker explained that the "Campaign of Learning" – a series of war games and studies to examine Army concepts – had up until now been focused on the mid-term future, a period up until 2020.
He said it will now also be looking at "deep futures," or 2030 and beyond, in later war games.
A future of innovation
"Right now, we are coming out of a period of adaptation and into a period of innovation," Walker said.
Adding, "How we do that, to invest in the future Army, is absolutely critical if we're going to provide the nation what [it] needs when they call upon the Army."
He referred to several examples of past national investments, using "2013 dollars" to illustrate the cost to the nation. Included among those investments were the Manhattan Project, from 1942-1945, which saw $4.8 billion annually; the Apollo space program, from 1961 to 1972, which received on average of $13 billion a year; the B-2 bomber program, which cost $4 billion annually; and the Army digitization program, which cost $5 billion annually.
"From 2001 to 2013, the national investment in science and technology is nanotechnology, and that's $1.5 billion annually," he said.
"So comparatively, when you stand back and look at national investment in technology, it's relatively low," he added.
Walker said in the future, effective use of strategic land power will require a commensurate investment in technology.
One example of that from the past is how in the 1990s, the Army invested in a "digital force."
Today, that investment has paid off in a way that gives soldiers a significant advantage over adversaries.
"Soldiers know where they are, know where their friends are, and they know where the enemy is," Walker said. That "common operating picture" of the battlefield, he said, provides soldiers with a significant advantage over America's enemies.
He added that as the service transitions toward 2020, it will continue making great strides, through investments in the evolution of the network and sensors, to ensure soldiers aren't "surprised" by what they see on the battlefield.
And, while Walker said he also believes Special Forces soldiers and conventional soldiers will continue to be interdependent into the future, he acknowledges that Special Forces soldiers on missions in Afghanistan have an advantage.
Special Forces soldiers currently have the full weight of the entire network and supporting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets behind them. That advantage is not something conventional soldiers presently enjoy.
"This is something we're working on, and I think we can get there by 2020," he said. "That has certainly been our Number 1 modernization effort."
Walker said that while the Army is in a new period of innovation, the world is also in a new period of declining conflict – and the Army is becoming more U.S.-based.
At the same time, America has shifted its defense strategy to the Pacific region, making it an area of increased strategic interest.
"We're at a point where should the nation need to employ us in the future, we will need to strategically maneuver ... go straight from home and somehow get into the battle space with no intermediate staging base, and in a very austere environment," he said.
"Our force is heavy," he said. "I'm not saying we have too many tanks and Bradleys, but how do you get to the fight when you need to have the ability to do strategic maneuvering?"
Walker said it will be absolutely essential to have mobile protective firepower with significant innovation in lighter, stronger material. Without that, he said, it will be difficult to get where America's leaders want the Army to go.
Right now, Walker said, the Army is "probably a couple of Nobel Prizes away" from having the technology it needs.
But the Army's "Campaign of Learning" effort continues to shape the way the Army thinks, and continues to guide the Army's modernization efforts.
Walker said there will be another war game at the end of September.
In December, he said, the Army will publish a "deep futures concept" to help better assess the capabilities needed to drive science and technology investment. (Based on an Army News Service story.)

Senior Jeremy Williams and the Green Wave will look to extend their win streak to three games when Tulane hosts Conference USA rival Marshall this Saturday on Homecoming.
Oct. 8, 2009
Tulane Game Notes vs. Marshall
NEW ORLEANS - The Tulane football team returns home and to Conference USA action this Saturday at 2:37 p.m. when the Green Wave hosts the Marshall Thundering Herd on Homecoming at the Louisiana Superdome. The game will be broadcast live on Cox Sports Television, Channel 37/737 HD.
After falling in the season opener to C-USA rival Tulsa (37-13) and to No. 9/12 BYU (54-3) in its second contest, the Green Wave (2-2, 0-1 C-USA) has reeled off back-to-back victories, including a 42-32 win over McNeese State at home and rallied for a 17-16 victory on the road at Army last week. TU is 1-2 at home this season and posted its first win in its last home game vs. McNeese State on Sept. 26.
When the Green Wave takes the field on Saturday, the team will look to post its third consecutive victory, which hasn't been done since the 2004 season when Tulane downed Navy, Army and TCU, all during the month of November. TU will also look to 3-2 overall for the first since the 2003 campaign.
Coming off consecutive wins, Tulane finds itself in the same position this season as it was a year ago, but is hoping to make sure history doesn't repeat itself. Last season, the Wave stumbled to a 0-2 start, but rebounded with back-to-back wins to improve to 2-2 heading into the fifth week, which was also the homecoming game. Like last year, Tulane began the 2009 season 0-2 and has posted a pair of wins to move to 2-2. Heading into this week's contest against Marshall, which will serve as the annual homecoming game, TU will look come away with a win. Last season, the Wave fell to Army and lost its remaining eight games to end the year.
Jeremy Williams' 222 receiving yards against McNeese State currently ranks as the nation's third-best effort in a single game this season, while Andre Anderson's 199 rushing yards vs. McNeese State ranks as the ninth-best single game total in the country this season.
Williams has evolved into one of the nation's top all-purpose players. He is averaging 168.0 all-purpose yards per outing, which ranks third among Conference USA players and ties him for 12th nationally. Williams is averaging 131.2 receiving yards (525 total yards), 12.5 rushing yards (50 total yards) and is averaging 32.3 per kickoff returns (97 total yards) per contest. He has touched the ball 43 times for 672 yards this season for an average of 15.6 yards per play.
Anderson is the Wave's top rusher with 88.5 yards per game and has one 100-yard contest this season (199 vs. McNeese State). He broke open the Army game with a 42-yard gallop to set up the game-winning field goal. He rushed for a season-high 63-yard score against McNeese State.
Quarterback Joe Kemp has completed 65.6 percent of his pass attempts this season (54-of-82) for 767 yards and four touchdowns. Of his 40 completions, five have gone for 40+ yards, including a career-long 68-yard hook-up with Williams against Tulsa in the season opener.
Senior safety Chinonso Echebelem leads the Wave in tackles with 9.75 per game (39; 21 solo), which ranks fourth among C-USA players and 26th nationally.
Marshall (3-2, 1-1 C-USA) won three of its first four games to begin the season, including back-to-back wins over Bowling Green (17-10) and C-USA East Division rival Memphis (27-16). However, the Thundering Herd had their streak snapped last week at home against defending C-USA champion, East Carolina, 21-17. Prior to ECU, the Herd's only other loss was at No. 14 Virginia Tech, 52-10, giving Marshall a 1-1 mark on the road.
Quarterback Brian Anderson has completed 57.7 percent of his pass attempts (79-of-137) for 756 yards and has four touchdowns and four interceptions.
Running back Darius Marshall is the nation's leading rusher and also leads the country in all-purpose yards. Marshall is averaging 159.8 yards per game on the ground and turned in a season-high 203 yard effort at Memphis. He is averaging an impressive 235.8 all-purpose yards per outing (639-rush/14-rec/290-kor) and has also completed one pass for 27 yards.
Tight end Cody Slate is the Herd's top receiver with 26 receptions for 289 yards and two scores. Mario Harvey leads the defense with 38 stops (13 solo), including two sacks, and has five quarterback hurries.
Saturday's game marks the third all-time meeting between Tulane and Marshall and the Thundering Herd leads the series, 2-0. Saturday's contest marks Marshall's first-ever trip to the Louisiana Superdome to battle the Green Wave. The inaugural meeting between the two schools in 2005 was slated for the Superdome, but damage to the facility from Hurricane Katrina forced the contest to be played at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Ala., where TU came up short, 27-26.
Tulane and Marshall squared off twice during the Thundering Herd's first two years as a Conference USA member (2005, 2006). The last meeting between the two teams took place in Huntington, W.Va., during the 2006 campaign. Marshall broke a 21-21 deadlock with three fourth quarter touchdowns to win, 42-21.
The Green Wave is 1-1 on homecoming under current head coach Bob Toledo. In his first homecoming game at Tulane, Toledo led TU past UTEP, 34-19, but fell last year to Army, 44-13, at Tad Gormley Stadium.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Melody Hensley' tag.
Melody Hensley, professional twitter victim, butts into a conversation between Justin Vacula and Dave Silverman and then tells Justin to stop contacting her.
I couldn't make this shit up. Hensley has become a parody of herself. This is who CFI puts in executive positions? I don't think CFI will have much of a reputation at all in a few years if they keep populating their management with people like this.
UPDATE: I'm editing here without changing the text of the post because my father always taught me to take responsibility for what I say and write. I take back the statement that "someone is benefitting from a man not recognizing sexism." Lindsay clearly stated that Hensley's tweets could be interpreted as impugning the motives of Sara Mayhew and that is good enough for me because Hensley was, in fact, speaking for herself and not CFI. In a work environment, she would have been fired from any self-respecting organization, but this wasn't a work environment, even though such public positions can cause confusion. I apologize for my part in that.
Here is the text of the response I received from CFI regarding Melody Hensley's behavior:
"Dear Ms. Graham:
Your e-mail to the Center for Inquiry's general inbox has been forwarded to me. Thank you for sharing your concerns.
First, permit me to say something about CFI's general approach to discussion of controversial matters. We favor discussion. Candid, reasoned discussion is the most reliable means of determining which point of view may have merit.
However, we strongly believe that it is the merits of a position that should be the subject of the discussion. Personal attacks, insult, and invective inhibit discussion; they do not advance it.
Similarly, impugning someone's motives is almost always, at best, an irrelevant sidetracking of a discussion. (There may be exceptions, such as pointing out that a favorable report on a drug has been funded by the pharmaceutical company manufacturing the drug, but again, this is the exception, not the rule.)
Let me turn now to the subject of your complaint, namely Melody Hensley's tweet. To begin, Ms. Hensley was tweeting in her personal capacity, not as a representative of CFI. She uses her CFI-DC twitter account for official statements. That said, I recognize this distinction will not necessarily prevent people from attributing her personal comments to CFI.
With respect to the substance of the tweet, I would not characterize Ms. Hensley's tweet either as "sexual harassment" or gender-based harassment. The tweet does not constitute a severe or outrageous denigration of another person on the basis of their sex. Rather, it is a criticism of viewpoints advanced by others.
However, the tweet could be interpreted as impugning the motives of those with whom Ms. Hensley disagrees. To the extent this is an accurate interpretation of the tweet, CFI regrets the implication. As indicated above, CFI does not consider the impugning of motives (again, absent evidence and relevance) to be a proper tactic in an exchange of views.
I hope this addresses your concern.
Very truly yours,
Ronald A. Lindsay"
Here is the text of my response. It speaks for itself, though I must point out here the irony that there is someone here who is clearly benefitting from a man not recognizing sexism, and it's not me:
"Dear Mr. Lindsay,
While I disagree that accusing someone of garnering attention of males for the sake of getting speaking attention constitutes a criticism of opposing views, I do thank you for clarifying that Ms. Hensley was speaking for herself and not CFI when she made those hurtful and baseless remarks on a public platform (which, to be fair, she erased). Thank you for taking the time to write me back.
Katie Graham"
While doing the twittering today, I stumbled upon an incredibly well written blogpost by Sara Mayhew that did a great job of detailing why a person might be turned off by the nasty rhetoric of certain atheist feminists, but also really hit the nail on the head when it comes to my own views about feminist equality in the skeptic community.
She writes:
The message of Dr. Hall's shirt resonates with me because it addresses the most important thing to me about feminism and equality; that you can't make assumptions about my thoughts, feelings, and experiences based on my gender. I don't consider myself part of a subset of skeptics because I'm a woman. What I want is to be viewed as a human individual. My experiences aren't going to be the same as yours just because we share the same gender.
At the bottom of the blogpost you'll see an update with some screenshots. I invite you to take a good look. Surly Amy herself tweets:
I'd make 1for @saramayhew 2 but she would then have to buy matching shoes&take instagrams and Id hate 2 waste her whole night. @CaraColeen
Buy matching shoes? Waste her whole night? If that's not stereotyping and denigrating to women, then I don't know how Surly Amy can be pissed off about a fucking shirt that expresses a person's desire to be known for their mind and not their vag.
Chiming in shortly after is CFI-DC director Melody Hensley.
@SurlyAmy @CaraColeen @saramayhew "Hey. I can get more attention, speaking gigs, and the bys will like me if I keep ragging on Skepchicks!"
All I have to say is WOW. I decided to tweet Melody Hensley to see if she had any idea that what she was doing is sexual harassment. I got blocked for my efforts. I wrote:
.@MelodyHensley You know what my job calls accusations of using male attn to climb the ladder? Sexual harassment. @saramayew
Well, I've sent a strongly worded letter to firstname.lastname@example.com because (obviously) sending it to the Director of CFI-DC will get nowhere. Feel free to do the same. Here's mine:
To whom it may concern,I'd just like to let you know that I am shocked and appalled that the Director of CFI-DC would participate in the sexual harassment of a woman on twitter.Melody Hensley implied that because Sara Mayhew wrote a blog post defending a prominent skeptic for her views on gender equality, Sara was somehow using the controversy to garner male attention to get speaking gigs.Here is the blog post, with updates that include screenshots of Melody Hensley making the damaging accusation:I hope you treat this situation with as much seriousness as it deserves. I respect CFI very much and would hate to lose respect for an organization that does so much good, including the Intelligence Squared debates.Thank you,Katie Graham

In this guise, the New York-born artist-producer has had input into some of the more intriguing and unlikely projects of the past decade. Currently teaming up with Shins lead vocalist/guitarist James Mercer on Broken Bells, Burton has cast his creative shadow far and wide:
The Grey Album – With this, Danger Mouse mixed a capella versions of Jay-Z's The Black Album over beats and samples from The Beatles' White Album. Originally mixed for friends with a 3,000 copy cap, it quickly went viral on the Internet. Suffice it to say the suits over at the Fab Four's EMI label were less than pleased, and a flurry of cease and desist letters were promptly sent out to minimal effect.
Gnarls Barkley – During a time in the late '90s when Burton called Georgia home, he crossed paths with Cee-Lo Green (aka Thomas Callaway) of Goodie Mob and gave him an instrumental demo tape. Several years later, the duo hooked up to form Gnarls Barkley. And while the twosome slyly avoided explaining the origins of the project's name, they did come up with the 2006 debut St. Elsewhere and its mega-smash single "Crazy," which everyone at the time covered. Despite being highly anticipated, the 2008 follow-up The Odd Couple did not fare as well.
Gorillaz/The Good, The Bad and The Queen – Intrigued by The Grey Album, Damon Albarn hired Danger Mouse to helm Gorillaz's second studio album, 2005's Demon Days. Two years later, Albarn hooked DM into The Good, The Bad and The Queen side-project whose other members were Clash bassist Paul Simonon, ex-Verve guitarist Simon Tong and Afrobeat percussionist Tony Allen.
DangerDoom – After working on a few 12-inch singles with mysterious hip-hop artist MF Doom, (aka Daniel Dumile), he and Danger Mouse formed DangerDoom and released 2005's The Mouse and The Mask.
The Black Keys – Despite the idea of Danger Mouse hooking up with the Akron-born bash-and-stomp blues twosome, DM has in fact helmed the BKs' last two records, 2008's Attack & Release and the brand new album Brothers.
Beck – In sharing the production duties on Beck's 11th album, Modern Guilt, the two musical chameleons came away with a batch of songs steeped in the sounds of late '60s/early '70s psychedelia and surf rock.
Sparklehorse – Even though depression ended up having Mark Linkous (aka Sparklehorse), drag his recording sessions out over a five-year span, The Grey Album inspired Linkous to call up and invite Danger Mouse to help him finish up his current project. The resulting Dreamt for Light Years in the Belly of a Mountain ended up being Linkous' last record before he committed suicide this year. Last year also saw the release of Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse Present: Dark Night of the Soul, a collection of songs written by the duo and featuring numerous guest vocalists including Iggy Pop, Mercer, Suzanne Vega and Frank Black.
Martina Topley-Bird – Best known for being the featured voice on Tricky's landmark Maxinquaye, Topley-Bird turned to Danger Mouse to produce her sophomore effort, 2008's The Blue God. The album's first single, "Carnies," ended up cracking the Top 10 UK singles chart while the B-side of the second single "Poison," featured Gorillaz on a song called "Soldier Boy."

Merce Cunningham Dance Co Comes To Walt Disney Concert Hall 6/4-6
The 2009-2010 season of Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center presents the world premiere of the revival of Merce Cunningham's Roaratorio as part of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company's Legacy Tour, a final two-year celebration of Cunningham's lifetime of artistic achievement. At Walt Disney Concert Hall for three performances only on June 4, 5, and 6, this engagement will be the final opportunity for the people of Los Angeles to see Cunningham's work performed by the dancers he personally trained.
Roaratorio is one of the most ambitious and large-scale Cunningham-Cage collaborations. The work features an original recording of John Cage's complex 1979 composition Roaratorio, an Irish Circus on Finnegans Wake.
This revival of Roaratorio is a co-commission of the Music Center of Los Angeles County, Festival Montpellier Danse 2010, and Théâtre de la Ville/Festival d'Automne à Paris. The revival and preservation of Roaratorio are made possible in part through the generous support of American Express.
Tickets for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company are available through Ticketmaster Phone Charge at (800) 982-2787, at all Ticketmaster Outlets and online at http://www.ticketmaster.com, and at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Box Office. For groups of 15 or more, call CTG Group Sales at (213) 972-7231. Artists and Program are subject to change. For more information, please visit www.musiccenter.org <http://www.musiccenter.org> and http://www.merce.org.
Merce Cunningham (1919--2009) was a leader of the American avant-garde throughout his seventy-year career, and is considered one of the most important choreographers of our time. Merce Cunningham Dance Company, founded in 1953, has forged a distinctive style reflecting Cunningham's technique and his radical approach to space, time, and technology. The Company's collaborations with groundbreaking artists from all disciplines have redefined the way audiences experience the visual and performing arts.
Following Cunningham's passing on July 26, 2009, Merce Cunningham Dance Company (MCDC) began preparations for a two-year world tour that celebrates his lifetime of creativity, and allows audiences a final opportunity to see Cunningham's work performed by the company he personally trained. The Legacy Tour is a component of the Cunningham Dance Foundation's precedent-setting Legacy Plan, which delineates the future of the MCDC and ensures the preservation of Cunningham's artistic legacy. The multifaceted plan also supports career transition for the dancers, musicians, and staff who have invested their time and creative efforts into the realization of Cunningham's vision, and provides for the creation of digital "Dance Capsules" that will bring Cunningham's work to life for future generations.
The Legacy Tour, which launched in February 2010 and culminates with a New Year's Eve performance in New York City on December 31, 2011, features the revival of key works from the Cunningham repertory, and will help to cement a full understanding of the choreographer's artistic contributions and achievements. MCDC will disband following this final performance.
Dance at the Music Center previously presented MCDC in its second season, June of 2005.
Mark Swed, in the Los Angeles Times, wrote, "What distinguished Cunningham from all other great choreographers was the degree of his inclusiveness. He invented dance movements that were modern and new, but even more revolutionary was the way he placed them in the world in which we lived. Cunningham could never take his eyes off the street, and the dynamic that we all witness everyday is what he embraced. And he proved that music, costumes, set designs, lighting and sound could all exist independently on stage, just like they do in our lives, so long as there is a general shared aesthetic."
About "Roaratorio"
Of all his collaborations, Merce Cunningham's work with John Cage, his life partner from the 1940s until Cage's death in 1992, had the greatest influence on his practice. Together, Cunningham and Cage proposed a number of radical innovations. The most famous and controversial of these concerned the relationship between dance and music, which they concluded may occur in the same time and space, but should be created independently of one another. The two also made extensive use of chance procedures, abandoning not only musical forms, but narrative and other conventional elements of dance composition-such as cause and effect, and climax and anticlimax. For Cunningham the subject of his dances was always dance itself.
Roaratorio is performed to an original recording of John Cage's complex 1979 composition Roaratorio, an Irish Circus on Finnegans Wake. Cage traveled through Ireland recording sounds in places mentioned in Joyce's novel, which were later assembled to form an hour-long piece. Using lines from "Finnegans Wake," Cage wrote mesostics (poems constructed so a vertical phrase intersects lines of horizontal text) on "JAMESJOYCE," which were read aloud during the performance, and scored parts based on Irish traditional music-jigs, reels, airs, and songs-that are played throughout his recording of the work. Cunningham's choreography incorporates motifs on jigs and reels, a "hopping" dance, promenades and strolls, and folk dances that suddenly expand into huge communal circles.
About Merce Cunningham Dance Company
Merce Cunningham Dance Company (MCDC) has had a profound impact on American art and the avant-garde since it's founding in 1953. Guided by Merce Cunningham's radical approach to space, time, and technology, the Company has forged a distinctive style, reflecting Cunningham's technique and illuminating the near limitless possibility for human movement. For more than fifty years, MCDC's collaborations with groundbreaking artists from all disciplines have redefined the way audiences experience the visual and performing arts.
MCDC was formed at Black Mountain College, and included dancers Carolyn Brown, Viola Farber, Paul Taylor, and Remy Charlip, and musicians John Cage and David Tudor. In its early years, the Company famously toured in a Volkswagen bus driven by John Cage with just enough room for six dancers, the two musicians, and a stage manager, who was often Robert Rauschenberg. MCDC's first international tour in 1964-which included performances in Western and Eastern Europe, India, Thailand, and Japan-marked a turning point for the Company and solidified a constant stream of national and international bookings. In the years since, MCDC has inspired artists and audiences with innovative performances, serving as an ambassador for contemporary American culture around the world.
In addition to its influence in the world of dance, MCDC has cultivated a body of new music, commissioning more work from contemporary composers than any other dance company. Its repertory includes works by musicians ranging from John Cage and Lou Harrison to Gavin Bryars and Radiohead. Cage's association with the Company as Musical Advisor since its inception continued until his death in 1992, when he was succeeded by David Tudor. Since 1995, MCDC has been under the music direction of Takehisa Kosugi.
The Company has also collaborated with an array of visual artists and designers. Robert Rauschenberg, whose famous "Combines" reflect the approach he used to create décor for a number of MCDC's early works, served as the Company's resident designer from 1954 through 1964. Jasper Johns followed as Artistic Advisor from 1967 until 1980, and Mark Lancaster from 1980 through 1984. The last Advisors to be appointed were William Anastasi and Dove Bradshaw in 1984. Other artists who have collaborated with MCDC include Tacita Dean, Rei Kawakubo, Roy Lichtenstein, Bruce Nauman, Ernesto Neto, Frank Stella, Benedetta Tagliabue, and Andy Warhol.
MCDC has been featured extensively in film and video choreographed by Cunningham, first with Charles Atlas and later in collaboration with Elliot Caplan, among others. With support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Atlas continues to collaborate with MCDC, filming Views on Camera and Views on Video in 2004/2005 and, this past fall, filming the Company perform Cunningham's epic work Ocean (1994) in Minnesota's Rainbow Quarry, 100 feet below the surface of the earth, accompanied by the 150-member St. Cloud Orchestra. Split Sides, which premiered on the 50th anniversary of the Company at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music (BAM) in 2003, was just released on DVD by ARTPIX, and was the work performed when the company appeared in the Dance at the Music Center series in 2005.
In 2007, MCDC began a two-year residency with Dia:Beacon, performing Events, Cunningham's site-specific choreographic collages, in the galleries of Richard Serra, Dan Flavin, and Sol LeWitt among others. Also in 2007, MCDC premiered XOVER, Cunningham's final collaboration with Rauschenberg, at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Cunningham's final work, Nearly Ninety, premiered at BAM on April 16, 2009 - the actual date of his 90th birthday - and has since been performed around the world along with an alternate version, "Nearly 902." Cunningham died on July 26, 2009.
The Legacy Tour is a celebration of Cunningham's lifetime of artistic achievement and a testament to the choreographer's enduring genius. Launched in February 2010, the two-year tour showcases 18 seminal works from throughout Cunningham's career-including the revival of Roaratorio and six other dances from past Company repertory-highlighting the collaborations with artistic innovators such as John Cage, Jasper Johns, Radiohead, and Robert Rauschenberg that characterized Cunningham's creative life.
Currently encompassing some 40 cities, the Legacy Tour will bring the Merce Cunningham Dance Company to new destinations around the world and includes performances at venues throughout Europe and the United States that have been pivotal in showcasing the Company for the past 50 years.

Review: Skeptics and True Believers
Does anyone but me remember "The Conversion of Aurelian McGoggin?" It's a short piece from Rudyard Kipling's "Plain Tales From the Hills," set in British India. McGoggin is an obnoxious autodidactical windbag. Having read some Auguste Comte and Herbert Spencer, he has concocted his own creed, a hodgepodge of materialism, positivism, humanism and Darwinism, which he insists on preaching at length to anyone unlucky enough to be within reach of his stentorian voice. His put-upon comrades lovingly refer to him as "The Blastoderm". One day the Blastoderm suffers something like heat stroke, which renders him speechless for 2 days and occasions a 3-month convalescence. That's enough to drive him to serious introspection: being struck dumb was undreamt of in his philosophy. Freed from the pressure of constant oral self-affirmation, he begins to doubt that he is the repository of ultimate wisdom. His associates revel in blessed silence. We all know a Blastoderm or two.
Addressing the zone where science and religion meet, Raymo divides people into "skeptics" and "true believers." ("A term which is charged with the sacred demonizes its antonym," said Jean Starobinski.) However, things are not all that simple. There are religious skeptics — deeply religious skeptics — and atheist — profoundly atheist — true believers. The Blastoderm is a specimen of the latter type. Skeptics and True Believers is about mind-sets. It is firmly opposed to the mind-set of anyone who claims to be In possession of absolute truth, be it theistic or atheistic. In the tradition of Eric Hoffer, the longshoreman-philosopher who popularized the term "true believer" about 4 decades ago, it is a manifesto against all varieties of Blastoderms.
Chet Raymo is Professor of Physics and Astronomy at StonehiII College in North Easton MA and writes a weekly column, Science Musings, for the Boston Globe. He was raised Catholic — he tells of being indoctrinated from Frank Sheed's Theology and Sanity, a book arguing that a truly sane person by definition must be Roman Catholic. Although he has by his own account outgrown all the mumbo-jumbo of his youth, he has never stopped being troubled by how faith and science fit together.
Skeptics and True Believers is a book for other reflective adults. It begins somewhere beyond where certainty has been lost. Call it an affirmation for those looking for hope. But it has little patience for New-Age gurus trying to build cults on foundations of quantum physics or chaos theory and even less for the current "angel" fad. Raymo sees such stuff as foredoomed and contemptible for its shallowness. He is looking for something deeper, something closer to ultimate meaning. For those who reject any prospect of ultimate meaning, his quest is at best quixotic. Raymo's basic argument is not new, but it is lyrically, indeed poetically, put forward here. Scientific method is the pinnacle of human civilization; with all due acknowledgement of its intrinsic falsifiability, scientific knowledge cannot be rejected or ignored. Science neither desacralizes nor demystifies the universe.
Raymo quotes EO Wilson: "Our sense of wonder grows exponentially: the greater the knowledge, the deeper the mystery." Only a soul that is deadened, or dead, can resist the majesty of the universe as revealed to us by science. Speaking of "knowing and being", Raymo says (p 232-4):
Cosmology, spirituality, cerebration — these are the attributes of religion. ...Cosmology reveals the creation. It answers the big questions. ...For better or worse, this is the task of science... now embraced globally as the one truly human instrument of cosmic revelation.Once again, for the true believer materialist-positivist this is all literal nonsense. But most people are not Blastoderms. The physicist-priest John Polkinghorne says that there is "a God-shaped hole in many people's lives." The Czech president and intellectual Václav Havel has been saying something similar for years (Raymo chides him on p 165-6 for going too far with this). Some sociobiologists argue that religious belief has an evolutionary function, and most social scientists ascribe important social functions to religious belief. The recent history of state-mandated atheism belies the canard that, given a choice, people will gladly throw off the oppressive burden of belief. False consciousness and opiates of the people notwithstanding, most people seem to find it very hard — at least very depressing — to believe in nothing larger than themselves.
Raymo wants to believe that a new spirituality grounded in science will emerge. He fears that if it does not, that God-shaped hole will be filled by oppressive old orthodoxies and superstitions. He has no clear vision of what this new spirituality might be like — only that it has to be cleaner and purer and more uplifting than the incantations of one or another kind of Blastoderm.
[Technical note from the author: The Cercyonis are butterflies and hark back to an earlier discussion of how taxonomy allows us to order nature. Unfortunately, Raymo got one of the names wrong. It's Cercyonis pegala, not pegol. But pegol is intrinsically a pretty word, and I hope someone names a butterfly Cercyonis pegol some day.]

Conservative leader asked to form government by Queen Elizabeth II less than an hour after Brown submits his resignation; says Britain has 'deep and pressing' economic issues to tackle
Associated Press
Published: 05.12.10, 00:23 / Israel News
Associated Press
Conservative leader David Cameron became Britain's youngest prime minister in almost 200 years Tuesday after Gordon Brown stepped down and ended 13 years of Labor government.
Cameron said he aims to form a full coalition government with the third-place Liberal Democrats after his Conservative Party won the most seats but did not get a majority in Britain national election last week.
According to an announcement issued on Tuesday Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg would become deputy prime minister - a rarely awarded and prestigious post - after days of hard bargaining with his former political rivals. Four other Liberal Democrats also received Cabinet posts.
Negotiators from both parties were finalizing the agreement as Brown and Cameron met with the queen, and holding meetings with their lawmakers to ratify the highly unusual deal. Neither side was expected to thwart the plan to govern in a coalition deal.

Both parties were keeping the full list of Cabinet ministers and policies close to the vest but British media were speculating on a series of unconfirmed selections for Cabinet posts. The only position that the party would confirm was that of Conservative lawmaker George Osborne as Treasury chief.
The high political drama came as the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties hammered out details of a coalition deal after the country's inconclusive election.
Brown said he had "loved the job, not for its prestige, its titles and its ceremony, which I do not love at all."

Brown's resignation ends five days of uncertainty after last week's general election left the country with no clear winner. It left Britain with its first so-called hung Parliament since 1974. Britain's Conservatives won the most seats but fell short of a majority, forcing them to bid against the Labor Party for the loyalty of the Lib Dems.
Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesman Vince Cable said the details of a deal were being worked on, but he would be "very surprised" if an agreement was announced before Wednesday.

Kenya are now two points clear at the top of Group 2 with six points, followed by Zimbabwe and Guinea, each with four points.

Moumouni Dagano to take three points from their visit to
Seychelles. The 2-3 victory leaves Burkina's
Stallions at the top of Group 9 with maximum points from three
matches. Seychelles bring up the rear with no point, though they

Friday: A large amount of garbage, including a car seat, a tire with its rim and shelving, were dumped in an apartment dumpster in the 4300 block of 236th Street Southwest. Included was mail belonging to people who live in a Lynnwood apartment.
Friday: Police cited a 20-year-old man for shoplifting a large deli sandwich and two bottles of juice from Albertsons, in the 4300 block of 212th Street Southwest. When found nearby, eating the sandwich, he told police he was just really hungry. He was released to his mother, who said she stopped feeding him a year ago in hopes he would get a job.

What a girl wants: Holiday gifts for the female cyclo-phile
- By Emily Zinn
- Published Nov. 28, 2012
Specialized Stumpy II >> $125
While technically a men's shoe, the only people I know who own these Specialized casual flats that mimic the popular S-Works road shoe are women. With a low-top look, but a cyclist's flare, the white patent leather looks sleek with jeans, and of course wearing them announces to the world what you would rather be doing.
Available in men's sizes 7 (40cm) through 14 (47cm) for $125, the flats are cheaper than the performance road version, and you can cinch them down nice and tight without ever having to tie your shoes.

Arts & Entertainment
Must-See Arts & Culture
by Christina Parrella, 12/04/2012
Installation of "The Art of Scent 1889-2012." Photo: Brad Farwell
Museum of Arts and Design
The Museum of Arts and Design is devoted to exploring the intersection of art, craft and design, and the results are often surprising. Take, for example, current exhibition The Art of Scent 1889–2012, an unusual installation dedicated to olfactory art that runs through February 24, 2013. It features such scents as Ernest Beaux's Chanel N°5 and Bernard Olivier Cresp's Angel, and traces evolutionary and design developments in the world of fragrances. Another notable collection, Doris Duke's Shangri La: Architecture, Landscape, and Islamic Art, on view through February 17, 2013, features some 3,500 objects from the former home of philanthropist and art collector Doris Duke, who acquired Islamic art for 60 years. See ceramics, jewelry, tile-paneled walls and other objects from Asia and Africa (some dating back to the early first millennium BC) alongside new works by contemporary Islamic artists. Upcoming exhibitions include After the Museum (March 5–May 26, 2013), which explores the process behind design and the role that cultural organizations have in influencing the design world, and Against the Grain (March 19–June 16, 2013), a collection of modern woodwork designs. If you visit during Open Studio hours, you'll get a chance to speak with artists and learn how they create and conceptualize their work.

The Strosniders Hardware-owned variety store taking the space of Bruce Variety will open on Saturday with a special grand opening event.
Bradley Party & Variety will open at 6922 Arlington Rd., in the Bradley Shopping Center, at 11 a.m. with a petting zoo, balloons for kids and giveaways.
The store is also offering a $5 coupon for all purchases of at least $10 through its Facebook page.
The move has created plenty of intrigue. The owners of Bruce Variety claim Stronsiders, their next-door neighbor in the shopping center for almost 60 years, orchestrated their ouster from Arlington Road in order to grab the space to start its own similar business.
Bruce Variety owner Richard Dimock is the ex-husband of Robin Strosnider, who his wife and Bruce Variety co-owner Linda Ridenour claimed paid a retired Bruce Variety worker for inside knowledge of the store's vendors.
Bruce Variety has since re-opened. But in May, workers stood on the sidewalk near the Bradley Shopping Center with signs declaring Bruce's new location in Woodmont Triangle.
Memorial Day weekend events from around the nation, and the D.C. area, captured in photos.

We do the regular stuff--tepid bath if over 106, tylenol and advil alternating so that he is never un-medicated (even still, it spikes). I was wondering 3 things. First, does anyone know why this happens or why certain children are prone to high fevers? Or books on the subject? Second, any other tips from people who have had kids like this. (Tell me it ends as they get older, please!) He is rarely sick and these are almost always viral things (no ear infections, sinus infections and it has never been meningitis although we have almost had to have the spinal tap to make sure). Finally, should I worry about all that advil and tylenol? I tend to think that hearing loss or brain damage resulting from high fever would be worse, but what do people think/know? Laura
strip the kid down to underware, wet a sheet in room temperature (not cold) water, lay child down flat and cover with wet sheet, turn on a rotating fan to blow over the sheet until the sheet becomes cold, re-warm with room temp water, etc
Good Luck
-=-Dave Dad o' Eleanor (5 yo) & Elizabeth (2 yo)
Ten years ago I had the chicken pox and my temperature soared to 106. My doctors didn't believe me until I appeared in the office a few days later and my fever was just below 105. I just had the flu last month and my temperature stayed around 104, which is about the norm for me. Whereas my temperature does not rise as high as they used to when I was much younger, I'm never surprised or alarmed when my temperature reaches the 106 mark. I outgrew the asthma for the most part but the high fevers still occur on the rare occasions I am sick. To this day, my doctor still has not been able to tell me why my fevers get so high. I've never had convulsions, blackouts or other scary effects of high fevers. On the other hand, I can go to work and participate in other activities with a fever of 102 and just feel a little tired. My sister's temperature will soar whenever she is in any pain. Ironically, for the both of us, our normal body temperatures are below 98.6.
I just wanted to write to you to let you know that he just may be one of those rare kids who get high fevers without consequence, other than scarying you. Maybe it's heredity, although my daughter, has not experienced excessively high fevers. If you ever find out why this occurs, please let me know. Good luck in your search for answers. Kimberly
Our pediatrician says that some children have an "active fever response", and has recommended doing what you've been doing which is to alternate giving advil and tylenol. Even with these meds in her system, her temp never dipped below 102.
What scares me the most is when my daughter has no symptoms other than a high fever. This happened a few months ago when all she had was 7 straight days of 104-5. No runny nose, congestion, sore throat or body aches. By the third day she was feeling very fatigued, though. When she gets these mysterious fevers my imagination goes wild and I worry about rare, difficult or impossible to treat illnesses. Our pediatrician assures us that despite her fevers, our little girl is one of her healthiest patients.
My sense about all this is that each child's body is very unique, with its own responses and vulnerabilities. Some kids seemed prone to ear infections or stomach problems--my daughter has had 1 ear infection and 2 bouts of diarrhea in her life. This is in contrast to some of her friends who never get more than a day or two of 102 fevers, but are in and out of the doctors' offices for ear infections or stomach stuff. Karen

The Pub Orlando at Pointe Orlando
The Pub Orlando at Pointe Orlando
I enjoy going down to International Drive and do a little exploring. I prefer exploring International Drive between Sand Lake and the Orange County Convention Center. It is well manicured and loaded with restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Pointe Orlando is the Hub for all that.
There are many places to dine at Pointe Orlando and I like that you have such a variety. I've wanted to check out The Pub since it opened two years ago. We had a friend in town for a convention and thought The Pub would be a nice place to meet up.
The Pub has a beautiful patio that looks out to I-Drive. I like that the patio has a nice flow with the inside of the restaurant opening it up a bit. If you prefer to sit inside you will find a beautiful bar with plenty of seating or you can choose a table in the dining area.
The Pub has a great Happy Hour that takes place Monday - Friday 3pm-7pm. I especially like that they include appetizers on the specials.
We decided to get a bite to eat while we were enjoying our beers. They have a nice menu with your usual bar fare. You'll also find plenty of British bites with their British Comfort Food selections. We all opted for the Fish & Chips. Bryan and I split an order and they kindly plated it as a split selection. The Fish & Chips were so good that it may be hard for me to try other things on my next visit.
The Pub Orlando is a fun place to enjoy a tasty beer and some bites. It would be a nice place for groups, but our party of three had a good time as well. It's a nice way to get your British fix with out leaving Orlando.

The second volume of Baldwin's great dictionary of philosophy and psychology is considerably more bulky than the first and maintains well the character and general excellence and fulness that were so noticeable in the earlier published portion. There are very few things which we looked for and failed to find; the omissions were the more notable for their rarity. We find, however, by close searching here and there, an oversight, such as is inevitable in any work of this kind; thus, among modern Italian philosophers we see no mention of Rosmini, for example, who has not received a biographical note. Such omissions, however, are very few and the book will be a most valuable work of reference and of study to the professional man who takes an interest in the more abstruse problems of his work. The various articles on mental diseases and other medical subjects in this volume are

There seems to be ALOT of questions lately about modernizing or retrofitting old bikes to new parts. Invariably, chain width and cogs spacing issues come up.
Older vintage 5 and 6 speeds chains are the same. When 7 speed first came out, those chains were just a scoosh thinner. But they'd still work on the older models, and older chains would usually work with the new freewheels. NOTE: This is for FRICTION shifting only.
These older chains will typically NOT work with the newer, narrower cassette cogs. To get more gear options (or index shifting capability), you'll have to upgrade everything.
For a more thorough treatment (and alot of stats and figures), visit Sheldon Browns website.

Alida's Song
by Gary Paulsen
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I really enjoyed this feel good book.This story is about a young boy and his relationship with his grandmother. The struggling life at home and the new life the summer he spent with his grandmother.
Alida's Song is about a boy who is fourteen. He at first lives in a city with his parents. His parents don't take care of him, so he works to get money to feed himself. He first delivers newspapers and then buys fresh bread from the local bakery. Then goes to school, he doesn't have any friends and he is not good at talking to girls. After school he works at the local bowling alley and sets up pins. At the end of each day he gets at least six dollars. When he gets home his parents are always getting drunk and fighting all the time. He wants to leave the big city and go somewhere else. One day he receives a letter from his grandmother Alida saying to work with her in a farm owned by two old men. He leaves the city and comes to live in the farm. During his first few days he helps by making the milk and by picking the mustard seeds and the weeds. On every Sunday, everyone in the town comes to a dance. On one Sunday, it's his grandmother's 45th anniversary. The band plays a song called Alida's Song for Alida and she dances with her grandson.
This book is a great book. The boy leaves the city to go to his grandmother to help in the farm. This book is about the boy taking care of his old grandmother. I would give this book to someone who likes farm life. I wish the library had the first book, The Cook Camp. I would certainly read The Cook Camp if the library gets it.
Delivering papers, , almost failing 8th grade, living in the basement below his drunken parents' apartment, he is called to work on a farm with his grandmother - the cows walking up in the morning mist, pulling weeds from 160 acres, -- made me cry...
Northern Minnesota may not sound like much of a vacation spot for a city boy, but when your parents drink and fight and the eighth grade hovers over your shoulder with a fat F, a summer with grandma doing odd jobs just might turn things around.

Q: I have heard I should avoid fruit juice since I have diabetes. What about vegetable juices? Can I have tomato juice and other vegetable juices?
A: Vegetable juice, just like fruit juice, has been processed so that the healthy stuff – the peel and pulp have been removed. Also, because these juices are in liquid form, they easily pass through your stomach quickly and can feeling less full than a solid fruit or vegetable. And then of course, there is always the added sugar and salt that often come in these juices which you won't find in the natural form.
However, I won't tell you that you can't have either type of juice. Any food or beverage can be incorporated into a healthy diet. But…it is important that you be aware of portions. Fruit juice, depending on the type, has a serving size of 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup for 1 carbohydrate serving (or 15g of carbohydrate). For some, eating 17 grapes sounds better than drinking 1/3 cup of grape juice.
Some vegetable juices can pack just as much of a carbohydrate punch as fruit juice. It is important to check the label, just because it is a juice made with a free vegetable like tomato, celery, or a blend – it doesn't mean the juice will be free of sugars/carbohydrate. Vegetable juices can range from 5g of carbohydrate per serving (usually 8oz) to upwards of 20g per serving.
To get the best of both worlds, you can use a blender (or a juicer that keeps the fiber in the drink) to make your own juices at home from whole fruits or vegetables. The only draw back to juicing at home is the expense.

As we began our planning for building the nation's largest pediatric expansion, we made sure to take every single detail into consideration. Read below to learn about our hospital's details focused on our promise of Family-Centered Care.
"To us, it's a way to inform and educate. To parents, it's a welcome distraction for their hospitalized child. To kids, it's just cool.
Patient edutainment transforms the hospital room into an interactive care environment with education, entertainment, inpatient services and Internet resources, all available with the touch of a bedside button. As caregivers, we have the ability to improve patient safety with health information and improve service by addressing concerns in real time. That saves us money. And even more important, it gives us more time for patient care.
We searched the country for the best and most cost-effective, "edutainment"system to achieve our clinical outcomes, as part of a fully integrated care approach. We found it with the GetWellNetwork, where patient families are invited into an interactive world to learn and play.
It wasn't enough to choose a comfortable couch. Our team's designers insisted on sleeping on one before they would approve it. In fact, all of our patient rooms were designed with the entire family in mind. So now, when parents want to spend the night with their child, they'll get a good night's sleep, right in their child's room. We made sure of it by designing functional furniture options that are also the most comfortable. And by letting commitment and compassion guide our decision-making.
We tested everything. The couches, chairs, and even the bathtubs in patient rooms, are like none other on the market. They have been customized to suit the needs of our patients, our families and our staff. And with good reason. Getting it right the first time means we won't need to buy replacements earlier than necessary. Quality pieces not only last longer, but also provide the most comfortable environment for our families. And that's what matters.
We know because we timed it, over and over again. And since our new hospital opened, our trauma teams not only know how long it takes, but instinctively know the route because they have practiced it so many times.
We're already home to Ohio's first Level 1 pediatric trauma center. So, we asked ourselves, "How do we improve upon that kind of excellence?" By building an emergency department that's bigger. Better. More efficient. And by devoting ourselves to the details, during an emergency, there's nothing to consider but saving lives.
We made a promise to our families and to our staff, to create the best emergency department in the country. Now we're fulfilling that promise, by issusing a new one: We'll never stop working to get better at making kids better.
Our number one priority has always been the safety of our patients, families and staff. And with our new visitor management system, we're taking security to an even higher level, so everyone who walks our halls knows they're safe and sound.
How does it work? Our Guest Code system remains. But we're addied ID scans. Instant background checks. Key cards that automatically deactivate. And an extra layer of security with an innovative intercom system on each unit.
We're protecting our families, and protecting our staff, because a safe environment is a healing environment.

Milwaukee County's mental health system focuses less on continual care and more on emergency treatment than any in the nation. Despite scandals, studies and promises of reform, the system is like many of its patients: It never gets better.
This examination of Milwaukee County's mental health system was conducted by Journal Sentinel reporter Meg Kissinger during a fellowship with the Diederich College of Communication
at Marquette University.
Students produced additional content under the instruction of Marquette faculty.
As part of the O'Brien Fellowship in Public Service Journalism, Marquette University's Diederich College of Communication hosted a two-day conference in October 2013 focused on improving Milwaukee County's mental health system.

Reporter Meg Kissinger received a George Polk Award for investigative reporting for her "Chronic Crisis" series examining Milwaukee County's troubled mental health system.
Judges said Kissinger's "Chronic Crisis" stories were "so revelatory, analytical and conclusive that they amount to a definitive study of a system that barely functions."
The Journal Sentinel has investigated flaws and abuses of Milwaukee County's mental health system for more than a decade.

Let us be honest with each other. The last couple of years have been tough in the construction industry. The graph below shows this in painful detail.
In recent months we have seen some very public company closings of large Glass Contractors in ASI and Trainor Glass. While both of these companies are in the process of attempting a reorganizing their fate is far from certain and we all wish them the very best.
However, their experiences of being extremely successful in recent years and experiencing tremendous growth and now fighting for survival underscores in real and personal terms how difficult the market conditions have been over the last few years. How long will these trials and tribulations continue? Or, put another way; when can I begin to dream about good times again?
The time may be now. Outlined below are some positive signs that I have noticed lately:
- The Architectural Billings Index has raised modestly for the third consecutive month. While this index has not shown tremendous growth, it has grown. And we all know that Architects must first have projects to design before we have projects to bid and build.
- FMI (www.fminet.com), the largest provider of management consulting and investment banking to the engineering and construction industry, announces the release of its Non-Residential Construction Index report for the first quarter of 2012.
The NRCI gained 7.8 points over last quarter to 58.1 this quarter. This positive move to start the new year is not exactly the sign of a bull market for construction, but continuing confirmation that panelists believe that the construction activity is following the lead of the slowly improving economy. There are good signs in hiring plans for 2012, as well as construction-put-in-place predictions. However, panelists indicate that low project pricing and high competition are still driving the market place.
- Our company has seen a continuing good supply of projects to bid.
- In all fairness the margins required to book the projects are still challenging; however, there is beginning to be a modest improvement in this critical area.
- While we wish no one misfortune; the market is self correcting. When companies continue to book work at margins that do not cover direct costs and overhead costs, these companies can not continue with that strategy forever. When these companies depart the industry, the margins for the remaining firms are allowed to increase to sustainable levels.
These conditions point towards improvement to me.
I have often said that companies do not get into trouble in bad times, they get into trouble in good times, it just shows up in the bad times. When times are good it is easy to spend too much, grow too fast, and generally not making good sustainable business decisions. The fruit of those decisions then become ripe during the tough market times.
It is time to start dreaming of what our companies can become again. I am not talking about wild, speculative ideas. But the market appears to be improving and that allows us the opportunity to make good strategic decisions that have the opportunity to be sustainable.
So, turn off the funeral music, take a deep breath, make strategic investments that make your company more valuable and get ready for the next wild ride in the volatile construction industry that we have chosen to make our life's work.
Tool of the Week, Day, etc. – Check out the following link from Construction Software Advice: The Best Construction Management Apps for the iPhone and iPad. Many of us have iPhones and they are powerful in part because of the applications written for it. This article presents several applications that you may find helpful.
That is it for today. Post your comments on the Blog and let us stimulate the discussion.
