Five Easy Ways to Promote Celiac and Gluten-Free Awareness Using Social Media
[This blog has been cross-posted on Food Living and Everything Else.]
June 30 has been dubbed Social Media Day, and while some may scoff at celebrating the growth of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and the like, you can't deny the power of these sharing platforms. For the celiac and gluten-free community in particular, social media has picked up where doctors left off, providing practical advice and much-needed support for the gluten-free lifestyle.
Social media has also become a platform for change. The New Jersey Devils introduced more gluten-free concessions in response to pleas on Facebook and Twitter, while an online petition for gluten-free Girl Scout cookies has made national news.
So, how can we keep that momentum going? In honor of Social Media Day, here are some ways you can help the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) promote gluten-free initiatives via social media:
- Share NFCA's Facebook page: The more fans we have, the more awareness we can spread and the more people we can help, especially in those first few months of diagnosis. So go ahead, click that Share button again and tell your friends why they should get informed.
- Join NFCA's Cause page: It's Facebook meets fundraising. NFCA's Cause page allows you to show your support and gather donations to keep our goals on track. For an easy fundraiser, ask for donations in lieu of birthday gifts, and suggest that friends donate your age (i.e. $42 for your 42nd birthday). Collecting small donations each month can also add up over time.
- Forward NFCA's e-newsletter to a friend: Information can be life-changing (we have the thank yous to prove it). Subscribe to our newsletter, then select "Forward to a friend" when it hits your inbox.
- Tweet about NFCA's programs: Follow @CeliacAwareness and give us a shout out. Tweet about our Webinars, Gluten-Free Hot Products reviews, or why you think a restaurant should get gluten-free training through GREAT. Turn #FF into Funding Friday by tweeting a link to our Donate page, or tweet the Celiac Symptoms Checklist and encourage friends to get tested.
- Watch NFCA's gluten-free cooking videos: Did you know NFCA has an online cooking series? Watch Alternative Appetites to get step-by-step instructions for fantastic gluten-free food. If you like a particular video, click on "YouTube" to visit our channel, then select Share and tell your friends.
What are some other ways you can help the cause through social media? What has been your biggest gluten-free social media success?

Staying in Command
[As you know, the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness staff members are big Phillies fans. So when one of our newest volunteers, Nadina Fraimow, told us she shared the same passion for sports, wellness and all things Phillies, we had to get her on board. Nadina will be sharing her gluten-free experience throughout the 2011 Phillies season.]
Staying in Command
A Phightin' to Be Gluten-Free Blog
Lee's game is no longer about the comeback. He's back and looking un-Be-LEE-vable! Last night, Philadelphians gave Cliff Lee a standing ovation as he flawlessly led the Phillies to a 5-0 victory against the Boston Red Sox and historically pitched his third consecutive complete game shutout.
This time, Lee brings with him three powerful C's—curveballs, confidence and command. Pitching three consecutive shutouts is no easy feat, and Lee falls into the ranks of baseball Hall of Famers, including Grover Cleveland Alexander and Robin Roberts.
It has been an un-Be-LEE-vable month for Lee, as he also led the Phillies to a 4-0 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals last Wednesday night in his second consecutive game shutout. Lee was completely in command on the pitcher's mound, when he allowed simply 6 hits, 0 runs, 1 walk and 3 strike outs.
For me, it's no longer about being the comeback gal. I recently had two consecutive successful follow-up GI appointments. I too rely on my curveballs, confidence and command on my journey to a happy, healthy gluten-free life.
When Lee is in command, the pitch he throws is the pitch he intended to throw. Staying in command is a challenge worth Phightin' for both Phillies fans and everyone who has food allergies or intolerances.
As Lee has so beautifully exemplified over his past three games, staying in command takes true grit and supportive teammates. Last night was no exception, for he had great offensive support from Dominic Brown and Shane Victorino as they scored two-run home runs. Let's not forget Lee's own RBI sacrifice fly that sent Dominic Brown home in the fifth inning.
Completely in command, I continue my restaurant, dish and product reviews, which are on the following baseball-inspired scale:
Single– Fair
Double– Good
Triple– Very good
Home Run– Must try
Grand Slam– Sublime
Double Rainbow Chocolate Sorbet- Double
A good gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free summer dessert purchased from Trader Joe's. It resembles the light consistency of water ice, but has richer dark chocolate flavor. The finish leaves a slight, but noticeable aftertaste.
The result: A dark chocolate calorie-friendly treat with great potential, if there was no aftertaste.
Recommendation: Pairs nicely with an assortment of fresh seasonal fruits. Serve this for a BBQ dessert or a beach day snack.
Note: For Trader Joe's "No Gluten Ingredients" list, visit www.traderjoes.com/pdf/lists/list-no-gluten.pdf
Soyatoo! Rice Whip- Home Run
A must-try vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and cholesterol-free condiment purchased from Whole Foods. It's soft and fluffy, with just enough firmness to hold a swirl. Both the lightness and hint of sweetness nicely absorb the textures and flavors from other foods. However, preparation time is needed to get the optimal results. As noted on the container, store upside down in fridge and sit out for 10-15 minutes prior to eating.
The result: Looks exactly like dairy whipped cream, and tastes even better. Follow instructions on container prior to use – it is worth the wait.
Recommendation: Delicious finish on top of baked goods, sorbet sundaes, and pairs nicely with fresh seasonal fruits. Can prepare on July 4th with fresh berries for a sweet and patriotic treat!
Santa Cruz Chocolate Flavored Syrup- Triple
A very good organic and gluten-free labeled chocolate syrup purchased from Whole Foods. The sweet and dark chocolate flavor can stand on its own or be a supportive ingredient in a sundae. The container is microwavable for a warm alternative to the classic chocolate syrup.
The result: Definitely for dark chocolate lovers, but can be drizzled over desserts for all to enjoy. Thick texture makes it difficult for chocolate syrup to ooze out of container.
Recommendation: Place upside down for a few minutes prior to use. Though microwavable option is nice, it tastes best at refrigerator temperature. An extra oomph of chocolate sweetness that can be added to any July 4th holiday treat. http://www.scojuice.com/products/dessert_toppings/chocolate_syrup
Sautéed flounder in olive oil with roasted baby potatoes and baby peas at Oyster House- Grand Slam
A sublime dish, and one that I look forward to replicating in my kitchen. The perfect portion of fresh fish was executed with just the right amount of olive oil and seasoning. My favorite fish dishes are cooked with a slightly crisped top and moist inside and this sautéed flounder was no exception. The flounder was surrounded by soft and well-seasoned roasted baby potatoes with baby peas. Note: This was the chef's gluten-free alternative to sautéed flounder on menu.
The result: A balance of beautifully cooked fish, paired with pleasantly cooked vegetables. The different levels of soft textures on the plate complement each other from the juiciness of the fish, the softness of the potatoes and the mushiness from the peas.
The scene: A double date at the Oyster House on Saturday night. As the Phillies were losing against the Oakland Athletics, we were enjoying a meal that one of the diners in our party said tasted fresh from the ocean. In fact, the Oyster House changes its menus daily based on the freshest fish. Since there is no gluten-free menu, I made sure to clearly articulate my food sensitivities and inquire about dish ingredients. Our table started with an assortment of fresh oysters and then each ordered our own entrée. To my excitement, the chefs were able to adjust a few ingredients and maintain the integrity of the sautéed flounder on the menu.
Fresh roasted turkey on top of romaine lettuce at Main Line Pizza- Double
A good dish, and one that I have replicated in my kitchen. The fresh roasted turkey is plainly seasoned, extremely fresh and properly prepared. Each hand sliced piece of turkey was cool, moist and paired nicely with the soft crunch from the romaine lettuce. Note: This was a quick on-the-go alternative to the Romaine Turkey Wrap on the gluten-free menu.
The result: A healthy, easy lunch cooked to just the right tenderness. Simple flavors, simply cooked well. At Main Line Pizza, you can eat this as a lettuce wrap or on gluten-free bread.
The scene: A quick lunch with my sister and mom before a GI follow-up appointment last week. My sister is on a search to find the perfect gluten-free pizza, and we were happy to try Main Line Pizza with her. As the car pulled up to a spot off Lancaster Avenue, I first noticed an inviting sign that specified serving gluten-free pizzas and pasta. To my surprise, the owner explained his gluten-free training and his certificate from NFCA's GREAT Kitchens program. My sister and mom loved their fresh gluten-free pizza with mushrooms, broccoli and fresh roasted pepper toppings. They even took an order of gluten-free spicy chicken wings to go, which they also thoroughly enjoyed.
June was a memorable month, as Lee made history and I made progress on my journey with support from my family team. We are back, we are in command, and we are Free to Be Gluten-Free!

Chip, Chip Hooray for Gluten-Free (Plus, a Giveaway!)
One of the best things about holidays is having an excuse to celebrate at the office. From my first day in the workforce, I always looked forward to 'food days,' when everyone brought in snacks and swapped recipes for their famous cakes, casseroles, and crumbles.
When I started at NFCA, I quickly realized that 'food days' aren't so easy among the gluten-free. At the NFCA office, we default to gluten-free so everyone can participate in celebrations. But at other offices, and parties in general, gluten eaters may be less welcoming to the idea.
Fortunately, one thing I've found to be universally pleasing among celiac and non-celiac crowds are gluten-free chips. Here's why:
- They're portable. For party purposes, there's nothing better than tossing a bag in your tote. If you've ever tried to stack cupcakes without messing up the icing, you know how valuable that can be.
- They're versatile. Depending on whether they're packed with flavor or just dusted with salt, you can eat them right out of the bag, dunk them in a gluten-free dip, or crumble them on top of a salad.
- They're gluten-free, but not obviously so. They look like chips, they taste like chips, and they often are chips that just happen to be gluten-free. I've never heard someone say "This chip tastes gluten-free," and few will be able to pass up a taste.
Now, when you bring a crowd-pleasing food, there is the risk of cross-contamination. People who can eat gluten may be happy to try your gluten-free chips and dip, but their hands also may be rife with gluten-y crumbs.
To help you keep gluten-free items untainted and make your party an overall blast, we created 4th of July Fun, a new Printable Guide sponsored by Blue Diamond. Available on NFCA's website, this tip sheet covers all of your party-planning quandaries, from invitations to cross-contamination.
Download 4th of July Fun at www.CeliacCentral.org/bd
Win Blue Diamond Baked Nut Chips!
To get your party started, Blue Diamond is giving away NEW! Baked Nut Chips to 5 lucky winners. These new gluten-free chips are made with whole-grain brown rice and almonds, and they meet all the requirements for a party-appropriate snack. Plus, they're delicious.
Winners will receive a bag of each Baked Nut Chips flavor: Sour Cream & Chive, Sea Salt, and Nacho (that's 3 bags total!).
To enter, simply leave a comment below telling us your 4th of July plans and why free Blue Diamond Baked Nut Chips would pump up the party. Winners will be selected randomly and announced on Friday, June 24.

Disaster Preparedness: Gluten-Free Needs
If you've noticed that natural disasters seem to be more common and more devastating in recent years, you're not alone. A recent cover story in Newsweek addressed the wild weather that has wreaked havoc across the U.S. in 2011 alone. Floods, tornados, wild fires – they all beg the question: Are you prepared?
When residents are displaced, safe zones and shelters become a vital source for food and health needs. Gluten-free families, however, face the added challenge of maintaining their dietary needs while away from home. Fresh produce and other gluten-free options are typically limited, especially since donated items are often non-perishable foods that contain gluten.
After the recent tornados, individuals called for donations of gluten-free products to feed victims who have celiac disease or gluten intolerance. It got us thinking about ways to arm yourself before disaster strikes.
Natural disasters may be unpredictable, but you can still make every effort to be prepared. Consider these tips to ensure your family's needs are met:
- Pack an emergency kit. We asked our Facebook fans for suggestions of what they'd include in a gluten-free emergency kit. While many admitted they had never thought of it, we all agreed it's a good thing to keep on hand.
Suggestions include:
- Bottled water
- Gluten-free energy bars
- Small packs of nuts or dried fruit (watch those seasonings!)
- A few cans of gluten-free soup
- Canned tuna
- Shelf stable gluten-free bread or crackers
- Peanut butter
- Canned fruit
- Gluten-free jerky
- Powdered milk or non-dairy substitute
- Celiac-safe freeze-dried meals (StoreHouse Foods has a bunch of yummy options – and they're a member of NFCA's GREAT Business Association)
- Important medications
- Bowl(s) and set of utensils
- Can opener
- Aluminum foil (for cooking packets)
If you need to evacuate, bring the emergency kit. You never know how long it will be before you reach a destination that offers gluten-free options. And as our Facebook fan Colleen Cook recommended, check the expiration dates on your stock every few months and replace anything that has gone bad.
- Find out which locations in your town are designated as emergency shelters (i.e. hospitals, firehouses) and who is in charge of disaster response. Speak to that person (or department) about gluten-free needs, or invite them to a support group meeting so they can anticipate any supply challenges. (While you're at it, encourage hospitals to get gluten-free foodservice training through NFCA's GREAT Kitchens program.)
- Talk to your kids' teachers to find out if their school has a disaster plan. Facebook fan Amy Young noted that her kids' schools request a 3-day supply of gluten-free food to keep on hand in case of emergency.
- If a disaster strikes and you find yourself at a shelter, do what you can to avoid gluten exposure. Ask volunteers about the food they are distributing, and read the labels on any cans or packages of food. Request that volunteers change gloves before they serve your meal.
- If no gluten-free options are available, make your needs known. The disaster response team may be able to secure a safe stock of food or, if possible, request gluten-free items.
- Remember to thank anyone who helps you out. It's a hectic time, so they'll appreciate knowing the difference they made.

Fangio had the ride of his life in such a 250F on the Nurburgring in 1957. He caught up Hawthorn and Collins who were unaware that the "old man" was still in the race! The 2 Britons were exchanging signs and smiling at each other when suddenly Fangio's Maserati was close again. When Fangio passed Collins he drove on the kerb, sending stones and other debris in Collin's face who broke a glass on his goggles! Fangio declared after the race he drove over his limit, a feat he would never do again. |

1957 and 1958 the cars were identical. This restoration suggests a car driven by Fangio (in either season) due to the yellow stripe at the nose. |

The documentary, directed by Simcha Jacobovici and produced by James Cameron, had its worldwide premier on Sunday.
Protesters said the documentary, which claims to have found the burial place of Jesus, his alleged wife, Mary Magdalene, and their son, Judas, trivializes the Christian faith.
Father Babu Joseph, the spokesman for the Catholic Bishops Conference of India, said in a statement against the film, "the documentary is not based on proven historical fact. Historically speaking, evidences closer to the event have more authenticity than evidences dished out after 2000 years. According to Biblical and non-Biblical sources, it has been believed that Jesus rose from the dead, and that is the basis of entire Christian faith and tradition."
Numerous archeological experts, such as the internationally renowned Holy Land archeologist, Professor Amos Kloner have also criticized the documentary. Kloner, who revealed the findings of the very same dig 10 years ago, criticized the filmmakers' marketing strategy and said it is not based on proof, the Jerusalem Post reported last week.
Kloner said a similar film was released 11 years ago, and the new film, The Lost Tomb of Jesus, is simply a renewed effort to create controversy in order to make a profit.
The Discovery Channel's Delhi office reportedly expressed regret for offending the Christian community.

KUWAIT (Reuters) - Kuwait is trying to persuade Saudi Arabia to take up the U.N. Security Council seat that Riyadh has spurned in protest at the world body's failure to end the war in Syria, a senior Kuwaiti official said on Wednesday.
"We are part of efforts to convince Saudi (Arabia) to take the seat back," Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Khaled al-Jarallah told reporters, adding that the Saudis had yet to officially notify the United Nations of its decision.
Saudi Arabia's two-year term on the 15-member Security Council would have started on January 1. Its unprecedented decision on Friday to turn down its seat has created uncertainty over the procedures for finding an alternative country to fill it.
Kuwait, which like Saudi Arabia belongs to the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, has emerged as an early front-runner, but Jarallah said: "It is too early to talk about this."

Our goal is to provide a supportive and safe learning environment where students are encouraged and empowered to reach their educational and personal potential.
Mapleton School District (MSD) is a 1-A school district located in Mapleton, Oregon, one hour west of Eugene-Springfield, within the Siuslaw National Forest on the Siuslaw River. We serve approximately 160 students from the communities of Deadwood, Swisshome, and Mapleton and are composed of three schools – Mapleton Elementary School, Mapleton Middle School, and Mapleton High School. All schools and athletic fields are located on a single campus.
MSD operates on a four-day school week. This schedule is designed to lower absenteeism and to give students a unique opportunity to perform community service or gain job skills from employment on Fridays. The College and Career Center can help students find volunteer and/or employment opportunities in our area.
We also offer an average class size of fewer than 15 students. These small class sizes allow our caring and close-knit staff to know each and every individual student. In addition, our certified teaching staff average over 11 years of teaching experience.
Mapleton Middle School and High School Athletics belong to the Mountain West League. We offer students the opportunity to compete in football, volleyball, basketball, and track and field. Unlike many schools, Mapleton does not impose any athletic or "pay to play" fees. Additionally, our school district provides free breakfast and lunch to all students (no application required). Students enrolled at Mapleton Elementary also receive a free vegetable or fruit snack during the day.
Beginning in 2015-2016, AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) will be implemented district-wide. AVID is a global non-profit organization dedicated to closing the achievement gap by preparing all students for college and other post-secondary opportunities. All certified teachers at MSD are now AVID trained. See the full list of Oregon schools joining the AVID movement!

Huseklepp future on hold
Norwegian forward Erik Huseklepp is pessimistic regarding his chances of joining Celtic this summer.
Last Updated: 11/07/11 9:52am
Norwegian forward Erik Huseklepp is pessimistic regarding his chances of joining Celtic this summer.
The 26-year-old is keen to secure a switch to Scotland, having tasted relegation out of Serie A with Bari last season.
Stoke City and several Bundesliga clubs are also reported to be keen, but Huseklepp would favour a move to Scotland.
He came close to joining Celtic in January, but the Bhoys could not find the required funds to reach an agreement with SK Brann and he headed to Italy instead.
Neil Lennon has reignited his interest during the current transfer window, but is again facing financial difficulties.
Bari had initially suggested that they would take £1.5million for Huseklepp, but have now increased their asking price to £4million.
Celtic are in no position to spend so much on one player and it appears as though any potential deal remains some way off.
On his future, Huseklepp said in the Daily Record: "I have to be professional and just prepare as if I'm staying with Bari.
"I will leave my contract details and what happens next with my agent. The trouble is I don't think it will be sorted out quickly.
"I am ambitious and want to play at the highest level. Anything can happen over the next couple of weeks so I am not going to let this bother me."

Google's relentless growth in the UK is continuing as its revenues surged by an estimated 20 per cent to smash through the $4bn (£2.5bn) barrier last year.
The internet search giant behind YouTube, Gmail and the Android phone system reported a 21 per cent rise in UK sales to $1.06bn in the last three months, against $878m a year earlier.
Ian Maude, at Enders Analysis, said British revenues were "marginally down" on his forecasts. But he added: "£2.5bn is pretty sensational. They're by far the biggest advertising business in the UK."
Google's strong showing will raise fresh questions about its British ambitions, amid industry speculation that YouTube could bid for some of the TV rights to English Premier League football. The parent group saw revenues rocket 25 per cent to $10.6bn in the last quarter but net profits were up only 6 per cent to $2.71bn.
Britain, responsible for 10 per cent of group revenues, remains Google's biggest market outside America. However, it has come under fire because it avoids UK corporation tax by diverting revenues via Ireland and other overseas territories. The London operation paid just £8m of corporation tax on more than £6bn of revenues in six years.
Google is benefiting as advertisers continue to shift spending into online and digital at the expense of other sectors. UK marketing clients increased spending on the internet by 13 per cent in the last three months, according to the Institute of Practitioners in Advertising.

Fortunately, knowing what surfaces provide the greatest risk for disease transmission at work allows us to put a proactive plan in place to implement effective cleaning practices.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, American adults spend more of their waking hours between Monday and Friday at the workplace than anywhere else -— including home, according to the 2009 American Time User Survey (U.S. Department of Labor, June 22, 2010). About one-third of all workers also devote five hours, on average, at the workplace on weekends, as well. So it stands to reason that offices, factories, clinics, and other work facilities have become places to exchange not only goods and services, but also viruses, bacteria, and other sources of infection.
The Centers for Disease Control estimates between 5 and 20 percent of all Americans contract flu annually. Up to 80 percent of all infections are spread through our environment by hand contact with contaminated surfaces, as well as through direct human contact. Adults put their hands to their faces an average of 18.5 times per hour, presenting hundreds of opportunities each day to transfer illness causing organisms into our bodies. Once an infection takes hold, the next step is usually the doctor's office, followed by the sickbed -— providing thousands to millions of dollars in lost productivity due to employee absenteeism. In fact, according to a National Health Interview Survey, influenza alone is responsible for 200 million days of diminished productivity and 75 million days of work absence.
Fortunately, knowing what surfaces provide the greatest risk for disease transmission at work allows us to put a proactive plan in place to implement effective cleaning practices, which can help reduce these risks and minimize infections. Ultimately, employees must be educated on what precautions to take to help avoid the top germiest places in their workplace:
To clean effectively to kill and remove germs and soil, consider a shift to a nightly health-focused, hygienic cleaning system. Health-focused, hygienic cleaning is proven to reduce health risks through the prudent use of hospital-grade disinfectants to kill harmful organisms and includes advanced soil removal techniques to capture and remove dirt and germs. Studies have shown that employing an effective surface disinfecting and cleaning protocol can reduce absenteeism as much as 50 percent. Combining this method of cleaning with an aggressive hand hygiene program provides a hygienic barrier to help reduce the risk of illness and improve the quality of work life for all building occupants.
The inclusion of EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants in your cleaning compounds help reduce the overall risk of illness by killing harmful organisms on surfaces in your facility. Their prudent use, especially in the germiest areas mentioned above, is a critical component to an effective, daily, hygienic cleaning system. Not only should disinfectants be used during nightly cleaning, but also employees should be provided with disinfectant disposable wipes to periodically wipe down high-touch points throughout the day.
The introduction of backpack vacuums with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration is another component of hygienic cleaning that can help to reduce airborne germs and improve overall indoor air quality. The backpack platform provides an increase in productivity of 70 percent when compared to traditional push vacuums. The HEPA filters the air to .3 microns, ensuring harmful germs are not blown out of the exhaust back into the air.
Another key component to an effective hygienic cleaning system is the use of microfiber textiles in cleaning cloths instead of cotton or other fabrics or disposable paper. Most cloths and rags don't effectively remove soil and germs; they actually spread them around and contribute to cross-contamination. Microfiber, by contrast, is a very fine, round synthetic fiber that is chemically treated to split the individual round strands into open, star-shaped channels. These channels have been proven to be 99 percent more effective at capturing and removing bacteria and soils.
When using microfiber cloths, it's essential that workers turn and change cloths often to ensure that their germ and soil removal capabilities are not reduced. Also, cloths should be color coded; each color should be devoted to a single, designated area of the workplace to prevent cross-contamination.
Finally, empower employees with the proper information and tools to protect themselves. Use flyers, e-mails, and meetings to remind employees about the need to help to minimize m transmission through effective hand hygiene. Stress effective handwashing and the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers, and keep sanitizing stations visible and well stocked. By combining effective hygienic cleaning and worker hand care education, you will reduce health risks and improve your chances of weathering the cold and flu season with a minimal loss of manpower.

O.K. President Obama let's get busy. The world is has witnessed the victory of positive. Lets go in history as the best Presidents ever. Take your time and fix what the republicans have messed up. We will all help, just keep being visible and keep talking to us on the Micheal Basinden show. We are inviting you and your family to Baton Rouge, La. and the Biden family.
Obama 08'..............................................................................
Bring some RAID with you because that place is filled with roaches.
This should be an interesting meeting, given that both men are acutely aware of how big a role the failures of George W. Bush have had in the success of Barack Obama.
I think Bush is secretly HAPPY that Obama won...he probably wishes they could move in over the weekend so he can hurry up and leave....
YAAAAAAAY!!! obama is getting ready to start changing our country and its really funny to listen to the republicans whine and cry about their candidate loosing....didya catch fox news during Nov. 4? They all seemed pretty bummed...
This is awesome!
It'll be nice to have kids (and a puppy) in the White House again....and frankly, it's inspiring to see a good family led by two intelligent, successful parents juggling the responsibilities as parents and their jobs. A true American family.
I can't wait for President-elect Obama to get in there and work out the problems that this idiot Bush has created!
Will they discuss our failing economy? Has anyone heard that our dollar is going to "bust" and will be replaced with the new coin, the AMERO coin?
I saw a video from Hal Turner and wondered if it was true that China practically owns the U.S. monetary system? Please clarify
I can hear Laura Bush now: "Now, play nicely boys!!" (jj)
Hope the meeting goes well – in true spirit of cooperation.
This is highly commendable for Laura and President Bush to facilitate a speedy and effective transition.
Moving to the white house may sound exciting, but I venture to guess that, in fact, Michelle and her daughters are sacrificing much of their current freedoms, familiar friends and their preferred surrounding to accompany Barrack to the white house. I recall that initially she did not want Barack to run for president – understandably.
Michelle has impressed me as a strong person who will work effectively to make a home for her family and help support Barack as he carries the weigh of the world on his back. I hope to see Michelle take an active public role in her per own pet projects and develop to be more then just a fashion trend setter.
good showing of unity
I am not a fan of the Bushes (of any generation). But I think both W and Laura have been very gracious over the last few days.
It is actually nice that everyone is sharing the sandbox (at this moment anyhow)
I also think it is great that the Obamas realize that the girls don't need to be dragged all over hell's half acre everytime they go somewhere. I bet the Palin children can't wait to get home and just go to school and stuff. I felt so sorry for them during the campaign, always trailing along behind Mom. Did she not realize that there are schools in the lower 48?
To Welcome–are you still buying the lie that Obama is a Muslim? Are you always so willing to just accept what you read on the internet? He is a Christian and he's an inspiration to millions of Americans. Your candidate lost. Get over it.
evict GEORGE BUSH NOW.
I wonder how much this is a social visit and how much is a business "here's this and that and those people" kind of visit. What could Bush show him that someone else could (and do a better job at it)?
I Think Bush is happy Obama won he is being too Cooperative Betcha he voted for him lolo
With Bush and republicans gone, all that liberal anger has to go somewhere now.
Look at Waxman's position, they're alreay eating their own.
To ALL non-believers and doubters it is now OFFICIAL.
Obamas Total SO FAR is 364 electoral votes. That makes it an
Landslide = 360+
bless both of these leaders, united we stand.
Call him Shiek Obama, call him President Hussein, I don't care. I'll call him Mr President any day of the week. Nothing's going to change the fact that the majority voice spoke. Proud to have him on board!
I hope and trust Obama will see through all the lies Bush will undoubtedly tell him! There is no way Bush can ever tell the tyruth-he never has yet.
Whatever we would like to say about GWB – I believe that he will welcome the Obama's warmly and do his best to make the transition possible.
Obama please show the "C" student how to run a country. May god continue to bless and guide you MR. PRESIDENT OBAMA!!

Health insurance plans are shifting an increasing portion of costs for prescription medications onto patients. A recent study in JAMA concluded that such cost shifting decreased asthma medication use and increased hospitalization rates in U.S. children. But the effect, if real, was small.
What They Did
Pinar Karaca-Mandic et al looked back at pharmacy and insurance claims for 8,834 children with asthma, 1997-2007. They calculated the days of asthma medication use by the total doses contained in the prescriptions filled for each child. They could also tell when the child went to the emergency department or was hospitalized. They had access to the co-pays and tiers of each insurance plan's pharmacy benefit, so they could calculate the cost borne by each child's family.
What They Found
Families of children in the 75th percentile for cost-sharing expense paid $190 / year out-of-pocket, compared to $100 / year for those in the 25th percentile. Authors concluded that "greater cost sharing for asthma medications was associated with a slight reduction in medication use and higher rates of asthma hospitalization" among children aged 5-18. But how reduced, and how increased?
- The highest quartile (75th percentile, $190/year) for cost filled prescriptions covering 40.3% of the days.
- The lowest quartile (25th percentile, $100/year) filled prescriptions covering 41.7% of the days.
- So on any given day, if 100 kids were playing, perhaps 1 or 2 did not take a medicine that day because of increased cost sharing.
- There were 0.7 more hospitalizations per 100 children per year (2.4 in the highest-cost, 1.7 in the lowest-cost quartiles).
- Yet there were no differences in the rate of emergency department visits across any of the quartiles. (Wouldn't this be a more sensitive measure of asthma control, and vary more between groups, if cost shifting had an important effect?)
Children infrequently use their prescribed asthma medication, not because they're "non-adherent," but because they're kids. Guidelines allow for seasonal or as-needed use, acknowledging the realities that it's nearly impossible to get a kid to take an inhaler every day and that some kids only have symptoms part of the year.

Daniel Sees the Future
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts.
Daniel spoke, saying, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
"And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: 'Arise, devour much flesh!'
"After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.
"After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.
"I watched till thrones were put in place,
And the Ancient of Days was seated;
His garment was white as snow,
And the hair of His head was like pure wool.
His throne was a fiery flame,
Its wheels a burning fire;
A fiery stream issued
And came forth from before Him.
A thousand thousands ministered to Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.
The court was seated,
And the books were opened.
"I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame. As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
"I was watching in the night visions,
And behold, One like the Son of Man,
Coming with the clouds of heaven!
He came to the Ancient of Days,
And they brought Him near before Him.
Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom,
That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
Which shall not pass away,
And His kingdom the one
Which shall not be destroyed.
"I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things: 'Those great beasts, which are four, are four kings which arise out of the earth. But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.'
"Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet; and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.
"I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.
"Thus he said:
'The fourth beast shall be
A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall persecute the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time.
'But the court shall be seated,
And they shall take away his dominion,
To consume and destroy it forever.
Then the kingdom and dominion,
And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven,
Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.'
"This is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance changed; but I kept the matter in my heart."
Daniel 7
How lovely is Your tabernacle,
O LORD of hosts!
My soul longs, yes, even faints
For the courts of the LORD;
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.
Blessed are those who dwell in Your house;
They will still be praising You. Selah
Psalm 84:1-2, 4
Commit your works to the LORD,
And your thoughts will be established.

Crew chief swap reunites Eury Sr. and Earnhardt
April 05, 2012, Team Release, NASCAR.com
JR Motorsports has implemented a crew chief swap to its No. 88 and No. 5 Nationwide Series teams, general manager and co-owner Kelley Earnhardt Miller announced Thursday. Crew chief Bruce Cook has taken over responsibilities for the No. 88 Chevrolets driven by Cole Whitt. Until now Cook has spearheaded the organization's third team -- a part-time entry primarily driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr. -- while lending assistance to the company's two full-schedule teams. That role will now fall to Tony Eury Sr., who takes charge of the No. 5 team while continuing his role as JR Motorsports' competition director. Tony Eury Jr.'s role as crew chief for Danica Patrick and the No. 7 GoDaddy.com team remains unchanged. "Our teams have a tremendous responsibility not only to perform at the standards we set for ourselves but reflect the commitment to excellence of our sponsors," said Earnhardt Miller. "Our on-track performance isn't meeting those standards, and we felt a change was necessary." The No. 5 car will race at Texas next weekend with Earnhardt Jr. The crew chief change reunites Earnhardt Jr. with Eury Sr. The pair won 15 Cup Series races between 2000 and 2004 as well as Nationwide Series championships in 1998 and 1999. The grouping of Cook and Whitt gives one of the series' hottest young drivers a crew chief that just last year won six Camping World Truck Series races, one Nationwide Series race, and a Truck Series owners championship. Through five races this season, the No. 88 Taxslayer.com team has one top-five and two top-10s. Whitt, a rookie driver from Alpine, Calif., is currently sixth in the series point standings. His best finish, to date, is a fourth at Daytona. JR Motorsports' last win came with Jamie McMurray on Sept. 4, 2010. "Both crew chiefs are very important to this process, and they are completely capable of elevating our teams back to where they are consistently competing for wins," said Earnhardt Miller. "Bruce's demeanor is probably more suitable in the developmental process of young drivers, and Tony Sr. has the experience and familiarity with Dale Jr. that can help get our 5 car to Victory Lane." Earnhardt Jr. has two races remaining on his 2012 Nationwide Series slate -- Texas on April 13 and Talladega on May 5. The No. 5 car could possibly compete in three to five more races with another driver.

A Little Party
We had such a wonderful time at Oliver & Lilly's "The Art of Spring Dressing" party!
It was lovely to meet new people, people I've chatted with on Twitter, and new-to-me companies that I now love. With a refreshing drink in hand, surrounded by flowers, sweet treats, lovely people and beautiful fashion galore – it was pure bliss! Joined together with Oliver & Lilly's was dainty and beautiful pieces by Nicole Ginsberg Jewelry, and super sweet panties by Panty by Post. (a great concept!) I could have bought bags and bags of wonderful Spring items, but left happily with some pretty panties and a gorgeous bright green and cream dress! As soon as I can, I will try to share some pictures with you...
( 01 link/ 02 + 03 link / 04 link )

1 day with the T-Mo 8800 So after my 1st day with the T-Mobile 8800 here are my thoughts... -- GPS is awesome! It's fast and dead on target! -- Yes my sides creak! -- Screen is awesome! (seems smaller and wider than the 8700)???? -- OS is faaaaaaaaast! -- Addition of media card is awesome -- Phone level is a bit low for me.... Yes I have it cranked :) -- Keyboard is way different from the 8700... BUT after one day I am adjusting nicely... -- Track ball (like the 8100) rocks over the track wheel... -- Size and weight.... I have NO idea why some are bagging on it.... it's light and thin..... Ok, that is all for now.... All in all I am pretty happy with the 8800... Other than my creaking sides..... |
Two days for me and ditto on the review. |
I thought I was going deaf.... The phone (what I hear from caller on other end) is a bit weak to me..... It needs to be amped up.... OR I am old, deaf in one ear and can't hear out of the other.... Edit: I forgot to add that it comes with a very nice BB pouch! Considering the 8100 came with nothing, the 8700 came with the dreaded launcher.... I was impressed with the pouch that came in the box.... |
keyboard the keyboard is horrible |
Keyboard I used a 7290 for a year, so I was used to the QWERTY. I had a Pearl starting in November. SOOO glad to be back on QWERTY! Getting faster all the time. |
Ohhh my..... I had the 7290, then the 7100, then the 7105, back to the 7290, then the 8700, then the 8100, then back to 8700, then back to 8100 and now the 8800..... :head spinning: I am getting adjusted to the 8800 keyboard.... :) |
yes, you have an addiction. and I think the keyboard is very good once u get used to it. |
I just got rid of that junk service nextel(7520) and switch to tmo(8800) and loving it. Does anyone know of an IM app that you can use with the 8800(tmo) that supports AIM? |
But I am envious of the 8800... still thinking... |
3 days with my 8800, and am VERY impressed! GPS is just brilliant. |

If you havent maxed out on your 401(k) contributions, its not too late to boost your contributions in the last few weeks of the year, Rempe says. Not only is this good for your future retirement, but contributions reduce the amount of income subject to tax. (Your 401(k) money, though, will be taxed when you withdraw it in retirement.) Depending on your income or whether you have a retirement plan at work, you may be able to deduct contributions to a traditional IRA. You have until the tax deadline April 17 next year to make an IRA contribution for 2011. (The deadline is extended by two days because the usual deadline falls on a weekend followed by a holiday.)

Suppose the proportion of men to women in a class is 1:4 (the number if people does not matter now). In other words, 4:1 equals to the proportion of women to men.
It means if you randomly divide the people in the class into groups of five and you pick out a single group, the most likely distribution of sexes would be one male individual against four female individuals.
Now let me express the situation in terms of percentage. You will have to draw your conclusions.
Suppose the percentage of men in a class of mixed sexes is 20%. In other words, women comprise 80% of the class. Now, if you randomly divide the class into groups of five, it won't on average affect the percentage. Right? This means if I pick out a single group of five people, the most likely distribution of sexes would be one he and four she. Same as with the proportional example. Why?
80% = 4*(20%)
20% = 1*(20%)
4:1 appears here too.
Yes, it is.Is it wrong to say 'in term' ( without 's' at the end of the word 'term' ) ?

Give us your distillery report
May 26th, 2009I know that some of you are on Islay for the Islay whisky festival. I also know that some of you were just in Campbeltown touring Springbank and Glengyle.
Maybe some of you are down in Kentucky touring bourbon distilleries or over in Ireland. Or even at a cool microdistillery somewhere.
So, give us a report. Where did you go? What's new? Any new bottlings just released or soon to be released? Give us the scoop!
12 Responses to "Give us your distillery report"
Just a heads up… I know 2 spots were just released today for Woodford Reserve Bourbon Academy in June (20). It's a awesome time. I will be there for my 3rd time.
Details on their web site. -
Well, I don't have any active sites on my "To-Do" list this summer, but I've got two closed-distillery related visits planned. My family and I will be staying in Mt. Gretna, PA for a week, and I want to visit Michter's again. I last ventured there shortly after it was closed in the spring of 1990, having been there a scant six months earlier, in November of 1989 when it was still open. I know it's a ruin now, but it's time to re-connect with the place where I was once offered a drink straight from a warehouse barrel on that last active visit. I fear it will be very melancholy.
The next stop will be the grave of Sam Dillinger, in Westmoreland County, who established a distillery in my hometown of Ruffs Dale, PA in 1834. His successors operated after Repeal in a modern plant, until 1947, till which time there continued to be two active large pot stills, probably producing rye whiskey, the only known dedicated post-Pro pot stills making whiskey after Repeal in the U.S.
I have about a half-pint of pre-Pro Dillinger rye left, to share between myself and Sam's grave, which is under a magnificent thirty-foot obelisk. No new releases or expressions here, but a lot of old memories, for sure!
Well, my report on the Clear Creek distillery in Portland, Oregon is a couple of years old now, and it might look familiar to you, John–I tried to sell it to you–but for anyone who hasn't seen it, here it is:
http://www.mrtattieheid.com/Mr Tattie Heid/Clear Creek Distillery.htm
Should never have put spaces in my file names…copy and paste that entire line.
Passing through Bardstown recently, I made a quick stop at Heaven Hill's Bourbon Heritage Center. Among the items I expected to see (23yr Even Williams, 27yr Parker's, William Heavenhill 225th Anniversary) I discovered they had a 126.6 proof Parker's Heritage Collection. Any information on this version of Parker's?
I mentioned to John back in April that I visited the Kittling Ridge winery (home of the Forty Creek canadian whisky distillery), and was told about their upcoming bottling of Forty Creek Double Barrel Reserve.
The new release will be finished in port casks, which is entirely different for John Hall, the distiller, and the first release has been limited to 3000 bottles.
There's a signup sheet to reserve your favourite bottle number if you'd like. The signup ends June 15th, and the release itself is scheduled for September 15th, 2009.
Of course, the catch for the signup is that you have to be at the distillery in person to pick up the bottles, and that most of the bottle numbers representing dates from the beginning of the millennium until now seem to have been reserved from close to day one.
However, the distillery itself is in the lovely Niagara on the Lake area, surrounded by some absolutely lovely countryside and wonderful wineries. If you do go up for it, it's worth a trip just to go winery hopping.
The good news is that the previous release was so popular in the states, that they're going to try and increase penetration with this one. Texas was a popular market, as was Georgia, and a few other states mentioned, but they're trying to increase the availability with this one.
For anyone interested in the signup, there's an online form (and a list of which numbers have been reserved) here: http://www.fortycreekwhisky.com/whatsnew/default.asp
As was I, but I'm looking at both 122.6 and 126.6 versions side by side (I couldn't resist the purchase based off of past good experiences with Parker's and the excitement of the unknown). I've been looking forward to the next Parker's release and wondered if the 126.6 was it. By the way, thank you for all of the great information!
Well, I've been to two distilleries in the past few days. Firstly I was at the Glengyle Open Day last Thursday. Two friends and myself took the bus from Glasgow (4 and a half hours each way!) down to sunny Campbeltown. We were free to roam around the distillery (which is pretty much all in the one room anyway) and for a fiver we got a tasting of 6 different 5yo Kilkerran casks with manager Frank McHardy. The casks ranged from bourbon to port and my personal favourite was the Oloroso cask (the young spirit seemed less so the darker it was). We were able to purchase a bottle from the bourbon and the port casks which we all did – and got them signed by Frank. An excellent day and I believe it will be a Springbank Open Day the same time next year. Can't wait already!
Secondly the same trio visited Auchentoshan on Tuesday to do their 'Homecoming Tour' as part of Whisky Month in Scotland. This was basically the normal tour except we got to open a cask of 19yo bourbon wood and pour ourselves a large dram. The 19yo was superb and you can apparently bottle yourself some of it for £135. Some photos from both are up here:
I've just returned from two and a half weeks in the motherland of malt whisky. I have started taking small groups on premium distillery tours. Both my groups joined me on romps around the Speyside, hitting Auchentoshan, Douglas Laing, Tullibardine, Edradour/Signatory, Glenlivet, Glenfarclas, Aberlour, Glenffiddich, Balvenie, Macallan, BenRiach, Benromach, Gordon & MacPhail, Strathisla, Glendronach, Glen Garioch and Royal Lochnagar. All of the distilleries received us well, but Douglas Laing, Edradour, BenRiach and Glenfarclas were the real highlights…
After leaving my two groups I personally visited Tobermory, before catching a day and a half on Islay. On Islay I picked up both festival bottlings from Ardbeg (really unusual toasted oak casks), as well as festival bottlings from Bowmore (pricey, but with an interesting palate) and Bruichladdich (best value). While on Islay I was priviledged to join the Bruichladdich gang at a small party the night before their festival day which ended late that night at a pub in Port Charlotte. Not surprisingly there are many interesting things in the pipeline at Bruichladdich…
Finally I made a whistle stop in Campbeltown to look at a new cask for our store. Lots of interesting casks to be had at Springbank these days; they have tremendous potential moving forward.
Andrew Ferguson
Calgary, Canada -
Turns out the 126.6 Parker's is apparently a Bourbon Heritage Center exclusive of the 1st Parker's release.

Ever wonder what exactly James Bond meant when he asked for his martini dry and shaken, not stirred? Want to learn how cocktails survived the era of prohibition or why barrel-aged cocktails are the next big thing? Fancy a taste of a fancy cocktail mixed with the spirits from a local artisan distillery?
You'll find all of these answers and experiences at Art of the Cocktail, a series ticketed festival-style events that take place all over Victoria from October 1-3. The main event, the Grand Cocktail Tasting, will tantalize your tastebuds with nearly 50 different flavours of spirits to choose from, not to mention complimentary appetizers from some of the West Coast's best chefs.
Sound too good to wait for? Visit participating restaurants in the meantime and treat yourself to a cocktail and appetizer pairing. You'll receive a recipe card from each restaurant or lounge, and if you collect them all, you'll be entered to win a Tippler's Prize. For a list of participating restaurants and lounges, click here.
If you're itching to release your inner bartender, sign up for a workshop to learn how to create your own spirits or mix the perfect cocktail. Better yet, watch the masters spin, flip, and shake their elixirs at a bartender competition. Who knows, you might even get to sip one of their creations afterwards!
Pick and choose your events online. Tickets for the events range from $25 to $45, and proceeds will be put towards the Victoria Film Festival.
Cheers to that!

Mr. Charlie Leaves A Stinker
From Arrowhead Stadium
It maybe circumstance.
It might be coincidental.
But ever since it was announced that Charlie Weis was leaving to become offensive coordinator at the University of Florida, the Chiefs offense has gone to pieces.
Here are the ugly numbers for a loss to the Raiders in regular-season game No. 16 and the loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in the first-round of the AFC playoffs:
- Points – 17, or 8.5 per game.
- First downs – 25, or 12.5 per game.
- Yards – 362 yards, or 181 yards per game.
- Net Passing Yards – 139 yards, or 69.5 yards per game.
- Giveaways – 7, or 3.5 per game.
- Sacks Allowed – 10, or 5 per game.
The bottom dropped out of all facets of the offense, but especially with QB Matt Cassel. In the last two games, he was 20 of 51 passing for 185 yards, 0 TDs, 5 INTs for a passer rating of 10.5.
So do the Chiefs still believe that Weis' departure and how it broke has had nothing to do with the offensive implosion?
"That was last week's story," said LG Brian Waters. "We had other stories for this game. It has had no effect."
QB Matt Cassel agreed.
"Nothing has changed on his part," Cassel said. "He's still in here. He's working hard and he's doing everything he can to put us in the best position to win. For us nothing has really changed.
"Going forward we are going to definitely miss him. But that's football, that's the NFL."
Weis' plans remain unknown, whether he will be with the team on Monday when the players are sent home or has already taken off and headed to The Swamp to begin working with new Gators head coach Will Muschamp.

January 10, 2011 - cychief24 says:
Weis was a complete distraction the last 2 weeks. His play calling looked as if he quit watching film.
His 4th down call may be the single worst play call I've ever seen in 32 years of being a STH.
Cassel played like he lost his big brother.
I do think Weis helped Cassel, Haley and the Chiefs offense grow the first 15 games.
However, I hope Florida goes 0-12 in the Snake Eastern Conference. -
January 10, 2011 - Tenand6 says:
Charlie is what his record says he is since he took the Florida job: 0-2.
As nutty as it may sound, the Chiefs can do better than Weis. I glad he was here, but we can build on this. That being said, Pioli will have to deliver an outstanding draft class. We are over-matched when we play Oakland and San Diego.
January 10, 2011 - Rick says:
I agree, we obviously need a good draft class to come in, plus Scott is going to have to make some noise in free agency. He did a nice job this past off season, but this year will require more as everything gets harder from here on out.
January 10, 2011 - Nate says:
The horrible way Weis thru his agent told everybody in football 2 weeks ago that this was going to happen is inexcuseable. He lacks character and intergity. No wonder he failed at Notre Dame.

Mastered by Emily Lazar and Joe LaPorta at The Lodge earlier this year, "Wasting Light" (RCA Records/Roswell Records) charted at #1 across twelve countries marking this album as the band's first ever #1 record since their formation in 1994. It was also certified gold immediately after it's release.
An all-analog production, "Wasting Light" is a truly brilliant record that captures Foo Fighters at their rawest and tightest as a band. This is thanks to Dave Grohl's insistence not to use a single computer throughout the whole record making process. The album was tracked by James Brown using a 24 track Studer A827 and an API 1608 console in Grohl's garage and eventually mixed by Alan Moulder in the same garage! The final mixes were transfered to 1/2" tape and mastered through an entirely analog signal chain at The Lodge.
From everyone at The Lodge, we wish to send our most heartfelt congratulations to Foo Fighters, producer Butch Vig and engineers Alan Moulder and James Brown. We are all extremely excited about this nomination, not only is it a milestone for rock music but it's also a great achievement for women in audio as Emily Lazar is the first female mastering engineer to be nominated in the Album Of The Year category.
And if you haven't seen it, here's Foo Fighters' video for "Walk" nominated for Best Rock Song.

In order to recognize the beauty and creativity of artistic renderings emerging from the neuroimaging community, we are launching the first annual Brain-Art Competition.
Countless hours are devoted to the creation of informative visualizations for communicating neuroscientific findings. The Brain-Art Competition aims to recognize this often unappreciated aspect of the publication process, and highlight the artistic creativity of our community,
We are inviting researchers to submit their favorite unpublished works for entry. Both team and single-person entries are welcomed. The competition will have four award categories:
1) Best 3-Dimensional Brain Rendering
2) Best Representation of the Human Connectome
3) Best Abstract Brain Illustration
4) Best Comical Brain Illustration
Additionally, we will have a Best Hand-Drawing of the Brain "door-prize" competition beginning at 8pm at the Cirque du Cerveau Gala to be held on June 28th at the 2011 OHBM Annual Meeting in Quebec City. Materials for hand-drawing will be provided at time of entry to gala. A digital gallery containing submissions will be made available prior to the gala.

What would you do if you encountered a patient with avian influenza?
I've referenced many reviews on this topic, but
one is the first to cover practical aspects of management and infection control.

Here are two of them sitting on my fireplace...I think they are too full but I will know where to find the sea glass if I need it for another project..
I used dollar store chain to hang these...they had there own metal bands which made it easier for me to hang them up ...I put some blue sand and a blue tea light in these ones. |They are hanging in my sun/screen room.. I promise to post some pictures of it soon.. They look really awesome and cost very little to put together.
Are these not just the nicest plaques you have seen? Haha not.. but what do you expect for 2 dollars..But I had an idea.
oh Yeah blue spray paint...using it alot these days.
I bough some wood numbers at Michael's and painted them black.. I was gonna paint them on myself but I thought they might look stupid..anyway I superglued them on and hung them with a holder I also got at the dollar store. I think it turned out pretty good... Although I am thinking of painting a black ring around the outside...we will see.
I got the idea from this Picture on the internet.. I thought the blog name was watermarked on the picture so I could credit her with the inspiration but alas it is not..If you know who this was let me know and I will give her her due..Her's looks truly awesome.
