The Badgers have now lost 12 of their last 14 after beginning the year 4-0. Wisconsin had its chances in this game that saw Iowa push the lead to 11 early in the second half, only to have the Badgers battle their way back into it.
After a Jolene Anderson jumper cut the lead to four with 3:22 left in the game, the Badgers had four consecutive trips down the floor end unsuccessfully. Iowa then hit a couple of free throws, and Wisconsin never got closer than six.
The Badgers were unable to take advantage of the Hawkeyes' lackluster offensive performance in the second half, where Iowa made more points off of free throws than from the field.
"I give credit to Wisconsin because we were very stagnant with our offense tonight. That was probably the worst that our offense has really executed during the course of this year," Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder said. "We didn't have movement, we weren't making good passes — it's evident. Nine assists. For us, that's very low in the assist column. Our offense relies on good passing and they took a lot of that away from us tonight."
As much as Iowa was able to take advantage of the free-throw line, it proved to be the Badgers' downfall. Wisconsin was only able to convert 4-of-14 attempts on the night, including just 2-of-11 in the second half.
Jolene Anderson led the Badgers with 20 points but could not connect on a couple of late free throws.
"You just have to think that your legs aren't tired and you can't let it bother you. It goes along with the mental thing that coach Stone says, you know, just go out there and play," Anderson said.
Wisconsin was able to hold Crystal Smith, the Big Ten's leading scorer, in check for most of the game. She was held to just 3-of-7 shooting on the night and did not even attempt a shot from the field in the second half. But the senior was able to knock in all eight of her shots from the charity stripe.
Iowa was led by 6-foot-6 freshman Megan Skouby, who had 23 points and six rebounds. The Badgers switched up their defense early on to a zone to try to limit the touches of the taller Skouby, after she had eight points in just more than five minutes.
The UW starting forwards — senior Kjersten Bakke and freshman Caitlin Gibson — did not seem to have an answer for Iowa's frontcourt, as they were outscored by the duo of Skouby and forward Tiffany Reedy 48-9. Reedy's 15 was a season high for the senior.
"I am not usually a penetrator, and tonight that is pretty much all I did," Reedy said. "I just stayed focus and I knew this game was important, so my mindset was just doing whatever it took to win."
The first half saw the Badgers outplay the Hawkeyes in nearly every way but turnovers.
"The story of the game was points off turnovers in the first half," said UW head coach Lisa Stone. "We had 14 turnovers in the first half. It looked as if we had not seen the press, but that's all we've worked on the last three years I've been here. We certainly need to improve in those areas."
Wisconsin gets a short break from conference action as it looks to rebound against Eastern Illinois on Monday. The Badgers hope to rebuild their spirits as they prepare for the stretch run in the Big Ten.
"Mentally, it's tough. You gain confidence from working hard and getting success," Bakke said. "There has never been a lack of focus at the ultimate goal, and I think we stick to the game plan.
"We've all been in hard times. Everyone experiences it through their life, and we will step out on the floor tomorrow just as ready to work as the day before."

Vanessa Hudgens Pumps Gas Surrounded by Mini-Mob
Vanessa Hudgens looks unassuming, but completely over it at the gast station while filling up her tank in the midst of a paparazzi swarm. At that point, I can't even imagine what they could possibly be yelling at her to do. "Vanessa! Keep pumping! That's great! Now, can you pour the gasoline on yourself? Just fling it all around! That's great! Do you have a match? This is going to be a GREAT exclusive!"
At least, though, one of them looks like he helps her out at one point. If I were a celebrity who had this many photographers hounding her on a daily basis, I would simply stop carrying money with me and have them pay for everything. It would be like the paparazzi were my boyfriend.

Ask-the-Expert Online Conference: Buying Healthy Food and Drink
Sign in to receive recommendations (Learn more)
Ask-the-Expert Online Conference
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Buying Healthy Food and Drink featured Penny B. Block, M.A., David W. Grotto, R.D., L.D., and moderator Judith Sachs answering your questions about finding, buying, and preparing the healthiest food and drink for people with breast cancer and their families.
Editor's Note: This conference took place in July 2005.
Best to drink, other than water?
- Question from shel: Other than water, what is the best to drink?
- Answers - David Grotto Besides water, there are a variety of fluids we recommend. We encourage people to drink a variety of herbal teas, preferably caffeine-free, diluted fruit juices (diluted with a non-sodium sparkling water, if you like). A variety of sodas are available that are fruit-juice sweetened. More likely health-food stores would have these, but you may be able to find them at your local grocery store as well.
- Judith Sachs Can you talk a bit about water? Should it be filtered, store bought, etc.?
- David Grotto We prefer our patients drink filtered water. There is a variety of different filters on the market. We encourage them to use filters that remove volatile organic chemicals, which are harmful contaminants that have been linked to increased risk for cancer. So beyond removing bad odor, taste, and chlorine, we think it's important to remove nitrates and also harmful organisms, such as cryptosporidium and giardia. As for well water, have it tested first to see what issues are with that water. There are companies that make filtration systems for well water. One of the big concerns we would have is high iron content of water.
- Penny Block Also check for lead levels in well water. David mentioned correctly that this testing needs to be done on an ongoing basis. Some people though, tend to use the plastic water bottles and reuse them. There is some evidence suggesting harmful effects from the plastic in the bottles. There is one kind, Nalgene, that does not leach the harmful properties of the plastic into the water.
Food and drink to lower estrogen levels?
- Question from jiri: My wife has a recurrent breast cancer which is related to a high level of estrogen in her body. What kind of food and drinks can lower the level of estrogen in a woman's body?
- Answers - David Grotto One of the things we do know that will increase risk for breast cancer is obesity, and we know especially if there's more fat that collects around the abdominal area, that can promote more circulating estrogens. There is an issue with weight management, because there's a concern with a diagnosis of breast cancer and being overweight at that diagnosis, having a poorer prognosis associated with that. Gaining weight during remission is also a concern.
- Penny Block Even during treatment, when people can't spend a lot of energy trying to lose weight, it might be poorer prognostically to gain weight. This is always a whole dietary plan, and we try to individualize for each patient.
- David Grotto We know that whole grains, for example, have fibrous compounds that can block harmful estrogens and there is some good research showing the cultures that consume more whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and legumes have lower rates of breast cancer not only because of the estrogen binding properties, but because of the general health benefits.
- Penny Block Crucifers, for example - broccoli and cauliflower, and the lowly cabbage, because people don't always think of what a gem of a food it is. So even coleslaw is good, because cabbage contains a compound that shifts the estrogen to a safer form of it. It's a property in cabbage that is very healthy. Sometimes we're looking for more exotic foods, but even cabbage, which is available in every supermarket, has tremendous benefits.
- David Grotto Out of all the vegetables—not that we're picking one over another, because vegetables in general are good for the diet—a doctor did some research into a phytochemical in cruciferous vegetables showing it blocked breast cancer growth. So besides the possible estrogen-blocking properties, there is a chance it affects programmed cell death.
- Penny Block Dave is mentioning an important point, that there is something potentially more beneficial about the whole food rather than just the isolated compounds in that food. Another University of Illinois researcher talked about the beneficial effect of eating broccoli three times a week in terms of reducing risk value of cancer.
- Judith Sachs Broccoli three times a week sounds difficult. Can you give us some tips on preparing it?
- David Grotto Broccoli ice cream…
- Penny Block I think we can get into such seriousness about all this, but having fun with food (and I'm glad you're asking what to do with broccoli!) but what to do with good food is important. If food is just a nasty prescription we swallow three times a day, it's no good. And there is evidence that if we have pleasure in eating, we absorb the nutrients more effectively.
- David Grotto Now for the broccoli tips! Again, we often come into this situation talking about an optimal diet, but how do you make it doable? Think of vegetables beyond a couple of cooked stalks of broccoli on a plate. It can be in a soup, a juice, frozen, fresh—there's a variety of ways to include it. And with broccoli or other vegetables that may be a challenge, that's been a dilemma we've addressed for years. We finally decided to produce an organic green vegetable drink that can be easily incorporated into a beverage, a juice, pesto, etc.
- Penny Block Getting back to what to do if you want to use broccoli? But quickly steam it so it's still a vibrant green, so it's still crisp. The green may actually be more vibrant at this point than when it's raw. Serve it with a dip, or slightly sauté it with a good quality extra virgin olive oil and garlic. You could certainly incorporate some of it in a pasta sauce. A creamed broccoli soup. It's easy to make creamed broccoli or mushroom soup, using oats cooked in water. If you puree it, it's quite creamy. So cook your broccoli with garlic, onions, oregano, etc. then put it in this creamy oatmeal liquid that's been seasoned to taste, and puree to make a nice creamy soup which is often more pleasing to the digestion.
- David Grotto Not to gloss over the importance of whole grains, but again, following Penny's great suggestion to add oats, there is also some bang for the buck in fighting cancer. Oats are rich in a substance found to enhance natural killer cell activity. It's like the game Pac Man, where these little guys go out and gobble up cancer cells. You want those cells in your body to have highest activity, and oats may enhance that.
- Penny Block There are some vegetables, particularly hearty green vegetables like kale, collards, etc. but even carrots, cooking them seems to break down the tough cellulose wall which makes it more difficult to absorb the nutrients if they're not cooked. This doesn't mean you can't eat raw vegetables, only that there is a benefit in cooking them. There are some people in my family that don't want crunchy cooked vegetables; they want them cooked more so they're softer. So cooking them until they're crunchy is not the only way to cook them.
- Judith Sachs When the transcript for this chat is posted, we'll include some of the recipes from Penny's cookbook.
David Grotto
And we have new recipes we post to our website, www.blockmd.com. We just did a presentation on TV where we talked about foods for fighting breast cancer specifically. Some of the recipes we features showed creative ways to eat dark greens. We actually had a roasted vegetable spinach wrap sandwich. Admittedly, the amount of spinach in the wrap was at low levels, but some is better than none!
One last comment about raw vegetables, because I know we're talking about reducing risk of breast cancer. But if you're undergoing treatment for breast cancer, especially treatments that can lower your white blood cell count, there can be increased risk of bacterial infection (food poisoning, if you will) when you have low white blood cell counts. So that's why we strongly encourage you to cook vegetables to kill bacteria that are on vegetables.
- Penny Block It doesn't mean you have to eliminate raw vegetables, because a cool fresh salad in summer is so refreshing. But maybe for a day or two, people need to be more cautious. One of the things that Dave and his team of dieticians do is to counsel our patients so they know what is appropriate for them at any given time. We use tests to determine their biochemical statuses. But when the while blood cell count is low, use a little caution for a day or so.
Safe sweetener to mix with green tea?
- Question from frolic: I saw an article in the paper a few days ago that said that green tea may help prevent breast cancer. I don't like the taste of it—can I mix it with something else and still get the benefits?
- Answers - David Grotto Yes, in fact, in my own home I like to drink green tea quite a bit but I'm not a fan of cold green tea. So I make a pitcher of it, and use a sweetener called agave, which is the same plant they make tequila from. So do NOT substitute Tequila if you can't find agave! :-) I may add some cherry juice with the green tea, which is a wonderful anti-inflammatory but more importantly, I can get my daughters to drink the tea if it has cherry juice in it. A lot of natural food stores carry agave.
- Penny Block Or you can find it online—do a web search for agave.
- David Grotto Besides green tea, that's not necessarily the only game in town although it is rich in polyphenols, the antioxidants that can help fight cancer. But also white tea is rich in these as well, and has a nice mild taste, there's also red tea.
Penny Block
White tea may actually be higher in polyphenols. We also have a supplement that provides the equivalent of 42 cups of decaffeinated green tea, for some patients who may not like green tea. But it's hard to get that high concentration if you're just going to sip 42 cups of green tea!
The research is so impressive about the benefits of green tea, so this is a great example of food supplementation that may help augment the diet and provide other ways of getting it in.
- Judith Sachs There are people who live in small towns or areas where health food stores aren't abundant. How would they use their supermarket to get the healthiest food possible?
David Grotto
The old adage was shop the perimeter of the store. Grocery stores caught on, and changed the layout of their stores. Have a plan before you go to the store, whether you're trying to reduce risk of breast cancer or are undergoing treatment, or develop a remission strategy, we think there is an optimal dietary program.
So plenty of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, more plant-based protein like beans and legumes. The USDA listed beans as having some of the highest antioxidants as compared with other foods. Good high-fat Omega-3 oil in fish is beneficial.
Those are the basic core, so if you have those on your list, it will take out some of the guesswork when you get to the store. Organic vs. non-organic—we feel organic is better if you can find and afford it. But if you can't find organic, don't forego eating fruits and vegetables or legumes. We feel the benefit of eating these foods far outweighs whether they are organic or not.
Penny Block
We talk often enough with our patients, some of whom have been frightened by foods that are not organic. So it's counterproductive, because they avoid the foods that may benefit them. You will lose a critical part of the diet program. Try making friends with someone in the supermarket, maybe the manager, or the buyer, who may help you find foods that are healthful.
There are many healthful foods in the supermarket—you can find whole grains, and uncooked beans. But you can also find beans that are prepared—they may be canned, but as long as there's no sugar in them and little salt, they're OK. There are vegetarian soups without additives. So there are things in a grocery store that can be part of a healthier diet and that's something the whole family can enjoy.
How to eat with no appetite?
- Question from hockeymom: I'm currently in treatment for Stage IV breast cancer, I don't feel like eating anything. I know I need to keep up my strength and build up my immune system—what do you suggest?
Answers -
David Grotto
This is a critical issue, because sometimes the treatment can affect quality of life. Eating a proper diet, and having an entire comprehensive program to promote health that includes physical activity and mind/body aspects, good diet, and supplementation can ease the burden of the side effects of therapy.
But we coined a phrase, "volume challenge." That means regular-sized portions may be too challenging. Some patients cannot eat the amount of food they optimally should. So our staff has developed smoothie recipes with concentrated nutrition, but in smaller quantities that can help build lean body mass. So I would recommend you consume something like a whey protein smoothie with oat or soy milk as a base, adding fresh fruit.
If calories are a challenge, there are some creative ways to increase them such as adding nut butters—MCT (medium chain triglycerides). Your body uses that as a preferred source of fuel, so it's an easy way to increase calories.
And we want to be careful about adding high Omega-6 fats, which may add fuel to the fire by increasing inflammation. There is a lot of literature about the links of Omega-6 oils with heart disease.
Penny Block
Cinnamon seems to be an appetite enhancer. Back to something Dave mentioned about protecting lean tissue—we do a body composition analysis. We watch to make sure that our patients, if they do lose weight, are not losing lean or muscle mass. You can do this through exercise, but also through the types of food you eat.
We watch that with our patients as they traverse this cancer recovery task to make sure that is protected. I was just talking with some patients about how sometimes when you're in chemotherapy, some of the whole grains like brown rice, while good for you, can feel heavy. Long-grain brown rice is fluffier and lighter than short grain brown rice. But there's also a grain called quinoa, (pronounced keen-wah). It is a wonderful grain because, first of all, it has a good protein profile with essential amino acids, so you get additional protein benefits along with the benefits of whole grain. Whole grains have B complex vitamins like pyridoxine, which is necessary for the immune system.
But quinoa cooks very light, and goes down light and easy, especially in these hot months or if your appetite isn't big. It cooks in a very short time—10 minutes—and there are many foods that go well with this wonderful grain.
- Judith Sachs Appetite is sometimes stimulated by the environment in which you eat, so use a beautiful crystal glass for your smoothie. Setting the table with a candle and beautiful china can help. Also, use smaller plates for the smaller portions.
- Penny Block When someone's appetite is diminished, presenting a huge plate of food can be daunting and will send the appetite plummeting even more. So Dave counsels patients to eat small meals throughout the day instead of just a huge portion less frequently. But I love your idea of creating an atmosphere.
David Grotto
Quite often we have our patients embarking on a new diet plan, taste rules, and they don't want to lose out on the enjoyment of dining with others. Not only is the uptake of nutrition important, but we don't want achieving a good diet to be stressful. You should have a love of eating, not dreading your next meal.
Penny mentioned whey protein and the wonderful grain quinoa. There are some amino acids called branch chain amino acids. Out of the food known to us, whey protein is highest in these branch chain amino acids because it helps increase lean body mass.
There is some great research into Omega-3 oils that helps wasting syndrome that can happen with more advanced cancers. So we try to encourage eating foods high in Omega-3, or even fish oil supplements to enhance lean muscle tissue.
Difference of natural, organic, certified organic?
- Question from Trina: I get confused by all the jargon in natural foods. What's the difference between "natural," "organic," and "certified organic"?
Answers -
David Grotto
The USDA has come out with clarification as to certified organic. You can go to their website for that. The important thing is you'll find different jargon for having total organic ingredients, or some organic ingredients have been added.
The term that's still ambiguous is "natural." As someone who has been involved in natural foods for years, even I am confused. So don't be fooled by a picture of grandma churning butter on the label! It's important to look for the word "whole" in the first ingredient. Make sure the terms on the label are in plain English. If you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't eat it.
- Penny Block When David said not to be misled by the term natural, people are spending a lot of money unnecessarily on "natural sugar" or "natural cane juice." Even if it says "organic cane juice," it's still sucrose. It's a great marketing tool, but not a great tool for your body.
- David Grotto If you're going to position your food dollar to where it has the most bang for the buck, if you choose something organic, there is research to show organic vegetables may be more nutrient-dense than non-organic. So in that case, it makes more sense to buy organic vegetables than organic sugar.
Can curry help prevent cancer?
- Question from Lisa: I've read that curry can help prevent cancer. Is this true? How does it work? How much should I eat?
Answers -
David Grotto
Typically the main ingredient in curry is a herb called turmeric which contains a compound called curcumin. A recent study showed it may inhibit melanoma cancer. It helps signal cancer cells that they are no longer welcome, and should die, but also has anti-inflammatory benefits. It may be beneficial for a number of cancers.
Men and women are equally affected by heart disease, and what we're finding with the dietary strategy we're discussing today is that it is helpful to avoid a number of conditions for the whole family.
- Judith Sachs Since curry powder contains a number of herbs, is it better to just buy the turmeric?
- David Grotto There are dietary supplements of curcumin available. But they are best given under the care of a licensed professional. We're really talking about not a single bullet if you want, not a single food, but we don't know about the potential synergy of all these foods. So you may not have a super high level of turmeric in your diet, but what will happen if you combine it with a low Omega-6 and high Omega-3 diet.
- Penny Block In addition to that, it's not really going to work if you eat sugary cereal then put a little turmeric in the meal at dinner. Dave is wondering why I'm having trouble holding back a giggle—I remember making a no-egg tofu salad for sandwiches, and it must have been dark in the kitchen because I put in way too much turmeric and the kids said that kids at school laughed at their bright yellow egg salad. Turmeric is very yellow! And you would be yellow too if you ate it in enough concentration.
David Grotto
Our big concern is that people think if they don't like turmeric, they're avoiding the benefit if they don't eat it. But everyone can find a favorite vegetable or something else. Let's not focus on one food; let's find an overall diet and lifestyle strategy. I help my patients make themselves a priority so all these things fall into place.
Often we get mothers with breast cancer who are so busy with their family, kids, maybe elderly parents, and are not making enough time for their own diets. This has to happen before any of this other stuff happens.
- Judith Sachs People shouldn't be discouraged about thinking they have to change everything all at once. You don't have to eat only broccoli and turmeric! You can make small changes every week, and still end up with an optimal diet.
- Penny Block Some people find that if they don't go "cold turkey" on junk food they have a problem getting to what they feel is an optimal diet. But other people, as you said Judith, need a plan to get there. But you do need a plan, otherwise you get stuck in transition. That is critical. Think individually about what pace will work for you. Even make a contract with yourself that spells out how you will manage this.
Soy, flaxseed good for diet? Organic meat?
- Question from Bridge: I'm interested in information regarding whether or not soy and flaxseed are good for our diet. Also, what about organic meat—should we use only organic meat products?
Answers -
David Grotto
Of course, and Penny and I were just talking about this, in the 10 years I've been here, soy has been a subject of controversy especially in the breast cancer population.
But for over 25 years, our message about soy has been the same—soy in moderation. We still feel it's an appropriate part of the diet. When we look at the components of soy, like isoflavones, which itself can have some estrogenic properties, it may be better for some populations to supplement with that than for others.
But with whole soy foods (our preference is for traditional soy foods, like miso and tempeh, edamame, tofu, or soymilk), we feel that soy may be very beneficial even for those with estrogen-driven cancers, some soy is probably OK. In the integrative therapies journal recently, a group of soy researchers and clinicians was polled and the conclusion was that consuming traditional soy foods, especially fermented soy foods, didn't really have a downside.
Penny Block
There is recent research showing that miso soup (miso is a fermented soybean puree) was shown to inhibit breast and prostate cancer. The growth of cancer cells was substantially reduced in this soybean extract.
So there are different qualities of soy as well, and we may absorb the fermented soy more effectively. Also, we know about different kinds of estrogen—estrogen alpha and estrogen beta, and soy products often hit the beta receptor and are more beneficial. We come right back to: Soy can be good in moderate amounts. In this country, we discovered soy was beneficial, so people went tofu-crazy, and ate it all day. So you can eat it, but remember, it's part of the total plan and not the answer on its own.
Antioxidants effect on chemo, radiation?
- Question from cilla: Do antioxidants make chemotherapy drugs like Adriamycin less potent? Do they interfere with radiation therapy?
Answers -
David Grotto
Like soy, there has been a lot of debate on the role of antioxidants. We have seen first hand that selective use of antioxidants and other conditional nutrients (based on patients' unique biochemistry, their radiation treatment, etc.), there is significant lowering of side effects. With Adriamycin, we use co-enzyme Q10.
Heart function can become compromised when using Adriamycin, so by using the co-enzyme Q10, our patients have minimized effects on their cardiac function. But we tailor antioxidants to the patient. We don't make blanket statements that all antioxidants are good for everyone. We recently saw a study on small cell lung cancer that showed the people receiving antioxidants compared to those who did not receive antioxidants, did better.
These results do not support the concern that antioxidants might protect cancer cells from the free cell effects of chemotherapy. We're finding that appropriate use of antioxidants may protect healthy tissue, and increase the effect of the cancer killing cells.
- Penny Block There was a good discussion of this in the Integrated Therapies journal and a summary stating the preponderance of evidence indicated that antioxidants did not interfere with chemotherapy. Antioxidant supplement users were less likely to have a breast cancer recurrence.
- David Grotto The study I'm citing, by Fleischauer et al, was of a breast cancer population, about antioxidant supplements and risk of breast cancer recurrence and breast cancer related mortality among postmenopausal women. It appeared in Nutrition and Cancer 2003.
- Penny Block We're trying to reinforce with good science that there will not be a problem with antioxidants, but all breast cancer patients should still discuss this with their doctor and a nutritionist, if possible.
Difference of wild and farm-raised salmon?
- Question from Max: What's the difference between wild salmon and farm-raised salmon?
Answers -
David Grotto
Max, both wild and farm-raised salmon are rich in Omega-3 fats. They are equally rich sources. The concern with salmon are contaminants called PCBs. In a recent study, farm-raised salmon was said to have much higher levels of PCBs than wild salmon, but it was looking at salmon from Puget Sound area which does have a higher level of PCBs. Unfortunately, PCBs are unavoidable in our world. Farm-raised salmon from Chile has fewer PCBs in it than that from Norway. We encourage our patients to eat salmon, wild if possible.
PCB content can be more concentrated in the skin so by removing the skin, that removes over 50 percent of the PCBs. Eating farm or wild salmon, no more than four ounces three times a week, because we don't live in a pristine world and we need to be concerned with the chemicals in it. We tailor that to the individual when appropriate.
Penny Block
There are other fish options that are high in Omega-3, so salmon isn't the only choice. There was a survey showing that larger national chains of stores have farm-raised salmon that is quite clean. So there is some interest and concern in response to consumer demand. But it's important to know you can get better farm-raised fish in some health-food stores.
Once again, we're talking about eating the best you can. If you go to a restaurant and order salmon, please enjoy dinner and don't agonize over what's in each mouthful. Eat the healthiest foods you can, and take pleasure in them.
- Judith Sachs For the carnivores in the audience, can you talk about organic meat, and are some sources better than others?
- David Grotto In perspective of an overall diet, we prefer more of a plant-based diet. But for those who want to consume meat, we recommend leaner choices and organic is a preference if possible. If it's not available, then leaner cuts are better because the Omega-6 fats are less. High animal protein in the diet can have correlation with increased risk of different cancers.
- Penny Block It's preferable to have a little meat or poultry with your vegetables, rather than a little vegetable with your meat or poultry. A stir-fry that uses small pieces of meat or poultry might be the best way to go.
How to get family on healthier program?
- Question from xerxes: My family has been right with me every step of the way through treatment, but when I try to make changes in our meals, they scream. I really don't want to prepare two meals every night—how do I get them onboard?
- Answers - David Grotto I'm applauding you for making those changes! That's probably one of the biggest problem our patients have—what they do profoundly affects their family, so we try to get the whole family involved in that consultation to help them make healthier choices. I have three daughters, so I realize it can be a challenge to get the family on board. But by getting children involved in food preparation, shopping, picking foods they like, that makes a difference. There is research showing that eating together as a family helps children make better decisions as adults. So it's not only eating the right foods, but eating as a family unit that helps.
Penny Block
Getting everyone invested in it is important. Give your children a chance to select something they want to eat during the week so they know their preferences are regarded and respected and they'll feel more involved. And also, make it fun! I know sometimes it feels like it's making two meals, but you can do things that will make everyone satisfied without feeling that someone is eating "healthy" and someone is eating "normal."
We feel our food is normal, but happens to be healthy as well. For example, if you make chili, you can season it so it tastes familiar. You can get organic taco shells if you want, and make your own tacos with beans, salsa, guacamole, so it's kind of fun and people get to make their individual ways. Among my four kids, not one likes exactly the same things as the others. So if they get maybe one thing they each like in a meal, that makes it a more pleasing experience.
David Grotto
We were talking about the importance of not always having to be "full disclosure" with your family. To this day, my kids think salmon is chicken!
When I first met my wife, she cooked some wonderful family dishes from her Eastern European background. She made a traditional cabbage roll with meat, white rice, and red sauce. So we switched out the white rice and used brown, used a fake meat instead of real meat. She loved it, and introduced it to her grandmother who also loved it until she found out what it was and then said she thought there was something wrong with it!
Are dairy products safe?
- Question from Devon: Are dairy products safe?
Answers -
David Grotto
"Safe" is an interesting way of asking. It's somewhat of a mixed bag when it comes to fighting cancer. About dairy products, there was an interested study in The Lancet that showed that premenopausal women who had a small increase in insulin growth factor (IGF1) had up to 7 times the breast cancer risk of women with lower levels. The reason I bring that up is there was a study of dairy benefits showing insulin growth factor can possibly increase breast cancer. The casein in dairy can increase IGF.
There are some wonderful aspects of dairy we applaud—calcium is necessary to fight osteoporosis, so it's about calcium balance. We also know that dairy contains CLA, conjugated linoleic acid, which is a good transfat that may fight breast cancer, and whey protein which may have profound benefits. (By the way, the "runny" part of cottage cheese is whey and the chunky part is the "curds.") But because of the IGF, we don't promote dairy for people with breast cancer.
- Penny Block IGF1 is not a chemical that's added by the dairy industry. It's a component of cow's milk, but it can contribute to the growth of breast cancer cells.

LONDON (The Deal) -- European stock indices generally gained ground on Tuesday, while Asian stocks ended the day largely in the red ahead of U.S. data on durable goods orders and consumer confidence and more commentary from the European Central Bank boss.
In London, where markets were closed on Monday for a public holiday, the FTSE 100 climbed 0.57% to 6,854.94. In Frankfurt the DAX gained 0.41% to 9,933.44 and in Paris the CAC 40 slipped 0.04% to 4,525,31.
From the U.S., investors are watching out for data on April durable goods orders, which will be out at 8.30 a.m. EDT, and on May consumer confidence data, due out an hour and a half later.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi will reflect on monetary policy in a "changing financial landscape" at an ECB forum in Portugal at 3.30 p.m. local time, or 9.30 a.m. EDT.
Dovish comments from Draghi on rates on Monday propelled the broad European Stoxx 600 index to its highest level since January 2008.
In London drugsmaker AstraZeneca (AZN) fell almost 2% after Pfizer (PFE) on Monday pulled an indicative 69.4 billion pounds ($116.9 billion) takeover proposal which the New York company had sweetened three times. Pfizer announced its retreat just before a so-called "put up or shut up" deadline from the Takeover Panel, which gives bidders an initial 28-deadline from the announcement of their takeover interest to either commit to making a bid or to retreat.
InterContinental Hotels Group was up more than 5% after a Sky News report that it had received and rejected a 6 billion pounds bid from a mystery U.S. suitor reportedly attracted by the idea of switching its tax domicile to the U.K.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I created another card with some paper braiding (which I still need to make a video for–I demo'd this at CTMH's Annual Convention last summer and promised to make a "how-to" video; time has just slipped by!) Love how it makes the trendy chevron pattern when you do it!
Added in some Almond Glitz and Green Glitz to make the focal point pop a little more (as well as some 3-D Foam Tape–you can never go wrong with adding some of that!)
And here is a close-up of the paper braiding.
Be sure to check back later this week–I promise to have a video showing how to paper braid!

Fairfax-Falls Church Community Partnership on Ending Homelessness Business Engagement Event - Google
"The Business Community Engagement event sponsored by Google was
a fabulous success! I am encouraged by the responsiveness and support of
the attendees and look forward to future events as we continue to extend
our reach into the local community. It truly does 'take a
~ Kathy Albarado, CEO, Helios HR, Governing Board Member
In an effort to engage more businesses in our efforts, the Partnership to Prevent and End Homelessness held its kick-off Business Engagement event hosted by Google on Aug. 4. The Office to Prevent and End Homelessness (OPEH), Governing Board of the Partnership, and many nonprofit leaders helped to plan and implement this exciting event that engaged close to 60 business leaders, elected officials and nonprofits.
Held in Google's offices in Reston, the well-attended event included
leaders of small, medium and large businesses who were interested in
finding out more about our progress and ways for their businesses and
employees to get engaged. The level of energy and enthusiasm was dynamic.
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova provided
remarks and support for our efforts to reach our 10-Year Plan goals and
to make a more focused effort to engage businesses, as did Hunter Mill
District Supervisor Catherine Hudgins.
One of the most exciting parts of the program was hearing from Luella Brown, former homeless consumer (introduced by Reston Interfaith CEO Kerrie Wilson), who spoke of her homeless experiences. She is now a homeowner and a graduate of several programs.
Special thanks to Governing Board Business Engagement Subcommittee Chair Kathy Albarado, president and CEO of Helios HR, who provided tremendous leadership and commitment to make the event a huge success. The next Business Engagement event will be hosted by Northrop Grumman this fall. More information will be coming soon.

Rhubarb always reminds me of my grandmother's garden and the delicious rhubarb pies that she used to make. This tea is good, but I really wish that it had more of that sharp, tart rhubarb flavor. It seems that the cream mostly takes over in this tea. I like cream flavors, so it is still enjoyable, but a little more rhubarb and it would be perfect.
-Dry blend has medium black tea leaves with pieces of dried rhubarb.
-Dry leaves smell like black tea with a little hint of tart rhubarb. Tea liquor aroma is of sweet cream and rhubarb.
-Tea liquor is a clear medium brown color.
-Soft rhubarb and black tea flavor with a sweet cream finish.
-Best with milk and sweetener.
-Good tea. Little rhubarb flavor, mostly cream.

Being an avid bird watcher my dad recently leant me these brilliant binoculars for a safari a few years back, and though he paid £250 for them it was worth every penny.
They have 8X magnification meaning that as well as wildlife spotting they also come in handy when using them for general viewing such as mountain ranges or sightseeing. For underwater viewing they can reach a depth of up to five meters though I have not had a chance to test this. The gas inside the binoculars consists wholly of nitrogen, preventing fogging up due to temperature changes or high humidity. They have a great balance between the amount of light let in and size with big enough lenses to work in dimmer conditions. Even in these conditions there is no colour fringing or blurring on the edge of the view.
The viewing angle is an impressive 8.0°, the same as that of higher end professional sets. This makes it great for watching wildlife as you can see faster moving animals for much longer without having to adjust your position.
The compact body means that they are much easy to transport unlike a 8x42. It's an ideal set of binoculars for taking on safari, or even to a sports game without getting in the way. They are very comfortable to use and have very good grip in wet conditions.
The tough shell of the binoculars helps protect it from any knocks or scratches you might encounter.
Using the focus knob was easy and efficient, being able to focus from 8.2ft to its highest setting in a turn and a half. It was very well tuned and felt like it was gliding beneath your fingertips. There is a diopter adjustment for adjusting to your own eyesight which I found locked well without slipping out of focus.

We are delighted to announce the first details of the Festival programme, taking place 9-14 June 2017. See below for the selected announcements, and to buy tickets. Please note that Full Festival Pass Holders do not need to purchase separate tickets for these events.
To mark 50 years since the Sexual Offences Act, our Opening Night film at City Hall Oval Hall, is the world premiere of Daisy Asquith's documentary Queerama, followed by a live performance from singer-songwriter John Grant. Created from the treasure trove of the BFI National Archive, Queerama captures the relationships, desires, fears and expressions of gay men and women starting in 1919 – weaved with the lyrics and music of John Grant and Hercules & Love Affair.
Fifty years since the Summer of Love, the Festival will explore rule-breaking and boundary-pushing artists who are creatively and politically forging new movements for Resistance & Change in 2017: in Alternate Realities, emerging British artist Anna Ridler will present the world premiere of WikiLeaks: A Love Story; in Talks & Sessions, we welcome for the first time maverick game-changer Peter Greenaway CBE; in the Film Programme, filmmakers Yance Ford (Strong Island) and Damon Davis and Sabaah Folayan (Whose Streets?), have individually made unflinching examinations of race in America today. And also looking back 50 years, this year's retrospective will focus on 1967: Summer of Love and Disobedience including the Festival coup of a very rare screening of Silent Revolution / Black Liberation, Edouard (Yves) de Laurot's lost masterpiece of the civil rights movement featuring Malcolm X and narrated by Ossie Davis.

Strong Barcelona look to clinch title
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova is set to name a strong side for Saturday's trip to Athletic Bilbao as he looks to wrap up the La Liga title before next week's Champions League semi-final second leg against Bayern Munich.
If Barca win at San Mames and Real Madrid slip up in their derby at Atletico Madrid later the same evening, Vilanova's side will regain the title won from them by Jose Mourinho's side last season.
Reports from the Barcelona camp suggest Vilanova is keen to secure this extra boost ahead of Wednesday's attempt to overturn a 4-0 semi-final first leg deficit against Bayern at the Camp Nou, meaning changes will be kept to a minimum.
Cesc Fabregas will come in if it is decided that Lionel Messi should not start, while Thiago Alcantara and Cristian Tello are other options for Vilanova to freshen up his side.
Barca's final visit to the old San Mames is likely to be a muted affair given Athletic's disappointing season.
Marcelo Bielsa's side thrilled neutrals throughout Europe last term but are now 14th in the Primera Division, with no hope of European qualification and few fears of relegation.
Bielsa, who may bring back fit-again top scorer Aritz Aduriz in place of Fernando Llorente, told reporters on Thursday that he still considered this a big game for many reasons.
"Beating Barcelona is never irrelevant for a team like Athletic," he said. "We have many needs, given the circumstances of the team."
The Argentine coach, nicknamed 'El Loco', said talk about eras coming to a close after Barca's heavy defeat in Germany was overblown, adding: "It is very difficult for a team like to Barca to keep evolving, but it seems unjust to ignore their previous achievements.
"We should leave the opinions until after the second leg. Even then, if they do not reach the final, we should consider all they have done recently, winning La Liga with crushing superiority and knocking out Milan and Paris Saint-Germain."

Repeal of 377A won't automatically change people's minds
I refer to the letter "377A: Majority not always right" (March 7) and agree that the majority may not always be right.
A key tenet of democracy is majoritarianism, however, and the majority's assent or support is necessary to effect sustainable social change.
As government leaders have reiterated, repealing Section 377A will not automatically change people's minds about homosexuality.
What will create a more inclusive society for lesbian, gay, bisexual nd transgender (LGBT) people is mutual empathy.
To foster a more inclusive society, we must start by dispelling the misconceptions and fears of those who are ignorant or misinformed.
According to a study in Los Angeles, personal conversations that help people with different or opposing views grasp each other's perspective is an effective way to reduce bias against LGBT people.
Researchers found that it was because these exchanges helped people with such prejudices to connect their personal experiences of prejudice with those faced by LGBT people.
By recognising that prejudice is the same wherever it is found, people were more inspired to combat it.
Ultimately, as our Prime Minister indicated, it is only when society has changed that 377A would be repealed, like in countries such as Thailand, Israel and Nepal, where homosexuality was decriminalised in 1956, 1988 and 2007, respectively.
We have built a harmonious society despite our racial and religious differences.
Let us continue to work on our country's diversity with compassion and collective action, and foster a more inclusive society regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
I am working on rebuilding my credit, which is at 620 FICO.
What's the likelyhood of getting approved for the below credit cards at this score ?
Among the recommended cards from myFico are
Discover IT -
Citi Forward® Card
Citi® Dividend® Card
Anybody with a similar recent experience ? I read that I might be able to get approved Walmar GEBank, which other cards should I consider.
FYI - I am not planning on spending, just keeping my debt ratio in a lower level.
I have prior ChargeOffs, Collections, but nothing current. (Average account 7 years or later).
Thank you for taking the time to read and respond.
the Discover It will requite a 670-680, the other two will require a 700 minimum and probably closer to 720 for a sure approval
I'd give Discover a shot. I think people here think they are harder to get approved for when they actually are. They approved me with little credit history (granted, not bad credit), and there seem to be a lot of "surprise" Discover approvals here.
What is your utilization now? If you can raise your score by paying down some debt, do that first if possible.
I personally would not waste the inquries on those cards... maybe discover it but im not sure what the criteria is for that card.
id say you have a good shot at walmart, and maybe even discover walmart (with the aaoa) they exclusively pull tu.
do you have any recent baddies? seems like your score is pretty down there.
what's you r util?

Imo u need at least 680+ for those PRIME cards. U should go for a secured card, credit union card if ur eligible like NFCU. But with that fico and ur history I would say ur wasting inquiries
I'd agree wih this for the most part although I've seen posters with scores in the 660's sneek in with discover. You might have chance with Gemb but even that is iffy with your current scores. As suggested above, a secured card or a credit union would probably be the best way to go in the short term.
I played around a bit with the card finder feature on this site that the op referenced, and I have to say that I find it to be extremely misleading. In no way, shape, or form should a citi forward be listed as a recommended card for someone with ficos between 540-640 (disregarding the fact that there are questions as to whether or not it has been discontinued). Yet under the cardfinder on myFico, this is the case. I encountered several other questionable recommendations as well. I would advise people to take the results they receive under this feature with a grain of salt, and suspect that paid advertising is likely the root cause of the problem.
Note- I'm certainly not trying to bash myFico and think that the site as a whole is excellent, I just think that this one particular service could be improved upon.
I am certanly taking every reply as a grain of salt and learning how to manage my score is my biggest priority. I am in for progressive credit score, which I know it takes time to achieve.
Needless to say, I have learned from my past financial mistakes, and now considering more careful options, so I can bring my score and credit reputation to the positive side.
I will let you all know the result of my decision.
I got approved with dicover with a 637 transunion score, I am the exception not the rule.

I got the Discover more with a TU around 630, probably a little lower. I noticed that when I was approved they told me I didn't qualify for their best interest terms so they adjusted the advertised apr. It didn't matter to me as I PIF each month. I hope that helps.
EDIT, I pc'd to an IT last month.

Granite Falls, Minn., man to pay restitution, serve jail time for Montevideo burglaries
MONTEVIDEO -- A defendant accused of having burglarized businesses in Montevideo will have to make several thousands of dollars in restitution and serve 120 days in jail, or face a possible 18-month prison sentence.
Erik Fultz, 33, of rural Granite Falls, was sentenced Tuesday afternoon in District Court in Montevideo on felony convictions for two counts of criminal damage to property in the first degree and one count of third degree burglary. The sentences will run concurrently -- or at the same time.
The court stayed prison sentences of 15 months on the criminal damage to property convictions and 18 months for the burglary conviction. The stays require that he serve 120 days in jail and make restitution as yet to be determined, according to Chippewa County Attorney David Gilbertson.
Fultz was given credit for 54 days he has served in jail since his arrest.
Gilbertson said the court is still waiting for information from two of the businesses to determine the restitution. Fultz was accused of breaking doors, cabinets and, in one case, a business safe that contained more than $3,000 in cash.
He was charged with burglarizing or attempting to burglarize five different Montevideo businesses since Feb. 24.
Fultz admitted that he chose the businesses to burglarize while walking around the community. He was seeking what cash he could find in them.
Montevideo police officers took Fultz into custody after executing a search warrant April 16 at a residence in Montevideo. The complaint alleged that after questioning, Fultz admitted to breaking into Midwest Collision twice, Art's Dairy Freeze, the Minnwest Bank ATM Machine, Klein Bank and Plaza Theater.
Police recovered lock picking tools left behind at some of the burglary scenes. They found similar lock picking tools in Fultz's coat pocket when executing the search warrant. They also recovered lock picks, white latex gloves and white gloves with black dots on them.
Fultz's arrest was made possible after Montevideo Police Officer George Eklund was on patrol April 15 and spotted an individual who looked like the person on a surveillance video of the attempted ATM machine burglary. The officer made contact with the man and learned he was Fultz, according to the complaint.

Cyprus banks opened (with hired British security teams attempting to prevent riots) for the first time in 2 weeks today at noon local time, with customers able to withdraw a max of $383.
Video & photo update is below:
Cyprus banks opened (with hired British security teams attempting to prevent riots) for the first time in 2 weeks today at noon local time, with customers able to withdraw a max of $383.
Video & photo update is below:
Cypriot Central Bank head Panicos Demetriades has just stated that Cyprus is making a 'superhuman' effort to reopen banks by Thursday.
Assuming the banks do re-open Thursday (which is probably not a very good assumption considering Cyprus is already set one of the longest bank holidays in history), we suspect Demetriades will discover that a truly superhuman effort will be required to keep Cypriot banks solvent through Friday's close and into the weekend.
Our favorite member of the European Parliament Nigel Farage was interviewed by RT today regarding the EU's decision to attempt to force Cypriot depositors to pay for Cyprus' bank bailout.
In this MUST WATCH interview, Farage does anything but diffuse the situation, stating that the EU is simply attempting to steal money from Cyprus bank accounts, and he recommends Europeans Do not invest in the Eurozone, you have to be mad to do so, and to get your money out while you can!
Farage states that the European bureaucrats will not allow Cyprus to collapse and leave the Eurozone, but that the entire Euro experiment will soon end in a disastrous collapse: They are propping up a Eurozone that, in the end, will collapse in disastrous failure and they are prepared to do anything to do so.
Farage's full interview is below:
Sunday's scheduled Cypriot Parliament vote was delayed until Monday as the banksters did not have enough votes. Today's scheduled 4pm vote has been delayed till Tuesday, with reports that the vote could be delayed as late as Friday (while the Cypriot banking system remains shut down in a bank holiday until the banksters receive their proper vote).
Below is why the Cypriot bank holiday may not be ending any time soon…
Yesterday the scheduled Parliament vote on the Cyprus bank bailout was delayed till 4pm Monday as the banksters were short 33% of the necessary votes to pass the wealth confiscation tax/theft.
Overnight, the ECB/IMF banksters rushed to change the tax to hit foreigners with a higher tax relative to native Cypriots (with the highest tax rate now reportedly OVER 15%!).
Apparently that was not enough to twist the arms of enough of the Cypriot Parliament, as today's bailout vote has just been delayed until 4pm Tuesday, and the bank holiday extended through Friday! The bailout vote reportedly is facing such a lack of support that the vote may be delayed further until Friday!

Q? How to I set up my 20A (PowerFlex 70) drive to follow a 4 to 20mA input?
A! The first parameter that needs to be changed is P320 (Anlg In Cofig)to tell the drive the analog input will be a current input. The next parameter that needs to be programmed is P322,325 (Analog In x Hi)to 20mA. The last parameter that needs to be programmed is P323, 326 (Analog In x Lo) to 4mA. You would program P320 Bit 0, P322 and P323 if you are using Analog In 1. You would program P320 Bit 1, P325 and P326 if you are using Analog In 2.
Q? Can I use the 20-HIM-A0 (LED HIM) as a handheld unit?
A! No. The 20-HIM-A0 (LED HIM) must be installed in the drive cradle for the HIM to function. If the LED HIM is hooked to a handheld cable, the HIM will not light up.
Q? What is fault 24 and why is it not in my manual?
A! Fault 24 is the "Decel Inhibit Fault." This fault was not listed in the first manuals printed for the PowerFlex 70 drive, but are printed in the current circulation manuals.
This means that the drive is not following the commanded deceleration because it is attempting to limit bus voltage. You will want to verify that the input voltage is within the drive's limits. Verify the system ground impedance follows proper grounding techniques. Disable the bus regulation and/or add dynamic brake resistors and/or extend deceleration time. Parameter 238 bit 6 is the location to turn this fault on or off. By factory defaults this bit is on. Parameter 161, 162 and 160 are the bus regultation parameters that can be adjusted for application if the bus regulation is desired.
Q? How does the door mount kit work? Will I need to order special cables?
A! The door mount HIMs are going to be available as a programmer only or a fully operational HIM. The HIM comes with a gasket and the necessary hardware for mounting. The HIM will already be structured into a bracket. Holes will need to be drilled for the screws and the HIM cable connection. The kit that includes the HIM will come with a 1 meter cable. If extra length is needed an extension cable will need to be ordered.
Q? Are the Elapsed MWh (p009) and Elapsed Run Time (p010) parameters going to reset to zero if the drive is set back to factory defaults?
A! No, these parameters can only be reset via the [Reset Meters] parameter #200.
Q? Can I load my parameters to the user set and then take the HIM and then download those parameters to a user set in a different drive?
A! The user sets are parameters stored in the drive memory for when one drive is performing different applications where the configuration of the parameters is different from application to application. The user sets allow for multiple sets of parameters to be stored and recalled when needed. This information is not stored in the HIM and cannot be transfered from one drive to another. The HIMs currently do not have this functionality.
Q? What is the proper analog in terminal impedance for the Powerflex 70?
A! The documentation on the PowerFlex 70 Analog Inputs for voltage signals show input impedences of 100 ohm, 53k ohm, 89k ohm and 100k ohm depending on where you look. The proper impedance is 100k ohm. This is true for terminals 14 - 15 and 18 - 19.
Q: I have a PowerFlex 70 Frame E that won't physically accept the 115VAC digital input interface. What am I supposed to do?
A: PowerFlex 70 Frame E drives manufactured prior to February 28th, 2005 had a plastic chassis that was not compatible with the 115VAC interface. If you have one of these drives with the plastic interference, and it needs to work with the 115VAC interface, Allen-Bradley will provide a replacement plastic chassis. Please contact AB drives Tech Support with the catalog number, serial number, and manufacturing date.
Q: My STS light is flashing yellow. The manual says a Type 2 alarm exists. Checking P212 [Drive Alarm 2] does not indicate an alarm. What is the problem?
A: The STS light will flash yellow if a digital input is set to "stop" and that input is in a low state.
Q: I have my digital inputs setup for 2 wire control. The start and jog on the HIM does not work, why?
A: Setting the drive up in 2 wire control deactivates the HIM start and jog buttons.

I stayed up all night making each animal for the noahs ark cake just perfect. I put it in the back of my SUV (1st mistake) and drive nearly 20 minutes on bumpy highways and roads. I was gettting a bad feeling, having had cakes settle and shift during delivery before, but this was a REALLY bad feeling. I get out walk around to the back of the car, peer in the window and almost fell to the ground! The cake hadn't just fallen or shifted, it had completely fallen apart, looking as if it had been dropped on the ground (and kicked a few times). Because the cake was in the shape of a boat with a narrow bottom it didn't have the stability of an "average" cake. But the absolute worse part, it was for MY nephews 1st Birthday. I couldn't turn and run, I had to walk into my mother-in-laws with tears in my eyes and a mangled cake in my hands. Luckily I do "photo shoots" of my cakes so I showed them was it used to look like.
So sorry this happened to you!
Oh, I'm so sorry! My stomach felt sick reading your story. It's the nightmare I imagine happening to me one day. What a shame.
That stinks! oh, I bet it was darling.
My heart is broken for you. That is so devastating. I'm so sorry.
I really feel for you. I had a similar disaster which I called my caketastrophe. I made my first wedding cake and had to transport it 50 mi. away. Looking back I think it fell as soon as I left the driveway. Upon arriving at the wedding and opening the tailgate I saw my three tier square cake in a heap. I was devastated and spent the next THREE hours trying to fix it. Luckily I had brought extra frosting and tools with me. About a third of it ended up in the garbage. The couple was very understanding but I never want to relive that again.
So sorry! I once tripped and dropped a cake. It's so sad when a disappointment like this happens.
I'm so sorry! I think we've all had that one disaster and totally feel for you! I was literally sick to my stomach for 2 days! At least it was for your family who loves you anyway! I hope you cut it right away & I'm sure it was delicious! Hang in there!
My disaster was for a surprise party at the church for my mother who had been the pianist for 30 years. I made a 3 tiered black and white piano masterpiece! I was very proud of it but when we got to the church, it was in pieces. I knew my husband was slinging the car too much but he thought I was being silly. I cried so hard! Everyone at church just laughed at me for being emotional because I was pregnant. I started hacking away at the cake and putting it on plates before anyone could see what was left of the decorations.
Not that it really helps--but we have all been there! At least it was with people you love!! The cake sounds super cute, though!
Sorry this happened to you.
OMG! I feel for you because I was in the same situation two years ago! I made a 3 foot tall wine barrel cake for my uncle's surprise 80th birthday. It looked great, we took lots of pictures, etc... It turned out to be extremely hot for October on the day of the party, we had to drive 40 minutes to the destination, uphill on bumpy roads and highways. I sat in the back seat with the cake, as we were driving I was getting very nervouse as I saw the cake shift, so I decided to try and hold it a bit, as time went on I felt my hand slowly start to enter the cake as the chocolate was melting. I was hysterical crying, finally got there, I also had an emergency kit with me, tried to fix it as best as I could. Placed the cake on the table, and went to sit down, my daughter kept going over to check that it was still standing. We noticed some kids jumping and running around the cake table, they were playing catch etc.. so i sent my daughter back over to check, she came back and went to tell her stepdad, instead of me, that the cake tilted over!!!! we rescued it enough to fee everyone and one layer so that my uncle could cut into it! I literally wanted to crawl in a hole. I also made sure that I showed everyone the pictures of what it really looked liked!
So i know exactly how you feel. Like the old saying goes we learn from our mistakes.....
So sorry that happened to you!
Chill chill chill chill chill chill your cakes all the time every time always!!! (at least before delivery)
Sorry this happened. Doesn't the Cake Safe website award a free cake safe to folks with cake disaster stories? This one sounds like a winner to me. Seriously check it out and enter.

In "Keep checks coming" (Forum, Oct. 1), Darrel Manning is concerned about all the "vote-buying," "cradle-to-grave caretaker government" programs that get people to "vote Democrat to keep the assistance checks coming."
Why pick on the poor? Manning should look at all the corporate welfare government programs and tax write-offs that keep the campaign donation checks flowing to politicians.

Microsoft has been seeking to land new OEM search deals with various PC makers (like Lenovo) as a way to grow more quickly its lagging search market share. Not to forget their web search deal with Linspire too.
Mary Jo Foley reports that Microsoft and Dell have signed a deal via which Dell will be shipping new PCs with the Live Search toolbar preinstalled, according to sources familiar with the arrangement between the two companies. Microsoft officials declined to comment on the alleged deal, as did Dell officials. Officials with both companies said they would not comment on "rumors and speculation."
Foley also added that her sources say Microsoft has offered Dell sweet enough terms to entice the PC maker to replace its search-preload deal with Google with a comparable offering from Microsoft. OEM deals are just one way Microsoft is looking to grow its search share.

A driver has been charged in connection with a crash four months ago that killed a hiker as she was crossing the road in Black Mountain Ranch, the District Attorney's Office said Friday.
Lawrence Farry, 25, is scheduled to be arraigned in San Diego Superior Court Tuesday on one count of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence in the Aug. 30 death of Joan Milazzo. Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor.
Investigators estimate Farry was driving 87 mph on Camino del Sur near Paseo Del Sur when his Nissan Altima struck Milazzo as she tried to cross the road, according to the police report.
Milazzo, 56, was hiking in the community's trails with her husband and sister at the time. There is no crosswalk or traffic signal at the spot where the trail crosses the street. The posted speed limit is 50 mph.
Milazzo's family is working to get a crosswalk or other safety measures installed in the area to protect other hikers. About a dozen family members, neighbors and activists, including Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, met at the crash site Friday morning to discuss how to get the changes implemented, said Milazzo's son-in-law, Chris Campbell.
