Yes, I planned my free day, at least part of it. I planned popcorn and caramel cone ice cream. Other than that, it was a see what happens days. I lost 4 lbs last week. Yay! I felt like crap after eating the ice cream and I had a slice of pizza that made me feel like I swallowed a ninja. I don't know if it's the surgery or the clean eating but free day gave me hell to pay. I feel so sluggish this morning. Next Sunday will definitely be more planned and minimal veering off course. About to start my lower body workout. Have a good week guys!
I once had faith in the surgery, I now have faith in me.
KJB - where are you? You started all this! You too, savorlife! If you read this - please reply. One bad day, or even more than one bad day should not stop you. Just from the short note you wrote, I can tell you've already invested in this (in you, your life, really). So happy to hear about the 2.6 down, 44. You did that even though you felt like crap! Imagine how good it will be when you feel better (and you will). Psychcjs, draken... we need to hear from you. Don't ANY of you give up - looks like it is just the 6 of us... Nice size group to offer support for each other. End of week one & I've lost 4.8 pounds. I've been working hard but I can work harder...
Wow, congrats to you both!!! 4 lbs for you Psychcjs and 4.8 for you chippers32, that's amazing!!!!! You both are motivating me to stay on track. Today has been rough so far. I've been up since 4:00 am with my 3 year old daughter and I'm coughing so much that I almost wet my pants. So much fun.
Chippers, I'm definitely still on the bandwagon. Waiting for this morning's workout to hit me. It doesn't usually happen until the morning after.
44, I'm with Chippers on this one, your gonna see amazing results once you can actually workout again. I hope you are feeling better soon. I'm happy to see you're still on the bandwagon and still have a good mentality. As long as we're mentally strong, we can conquer any physical weakness.
My hubby says he sees the weight change and body shaping already. He also said that right after I had surgery and he was right. Even though I saw good results last week scale-wise, I think I'll wait until week 4 to step on it again. 16 more upper and lower body workouts to go. I find the 20 minutes cardio invigorating so I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Have a good evening guys.
I work alot, and cyber school my kid so its difficult to log on here everyday!! I made it through week one, 3lbs, hoped of course for more but oh well. sore muscles today but my free day!!! Pizza for dinner later!!!! It was scary getting on the scale after the first week, wondering if it would have paid off, but it did. Taking things one day at a time, everyday I went to work, I said I am on day one...I am on day 3, my co workers r gonna get tired of me counting my days lol!!!
Good for you, Draken! I am into counting the days, too, but I like counting down, like day one was day 84 and now when we wake up tomorrow morning we've only got 75 days to go.
Interesting about your free day Psychcjs, how none of the food made you feel good. I'd like to eat something this Saturday that leaves me perfectly satisfied, and I'm going to spend a little time figuring out what that might be. I might just do a free meal at dinner and not a whole free day. Dinner is the hardest time for me to stick to a diet because the kids are asleep and I can finally sit down and relax when I eat so I tend to overeat. During the day I have to feed my son at the same time I'm eating, pick up the food he throws, remind my daughter to sit down a hundred times, etc, so no meal is ever really satisfying or relaxing when they're awake. It's hard to eat snacks, too, because the kids want whatever I'm eating.
How was your free day, chippers32? Did you eat a lot of great stuff all day? How did you feel?
I'm starting to feel a little better today and I'm looking forward to my free day on Saturday when I can have a glass or two of wine!
Hi KJB - I am still reading the BFL book, but would love to get started soon. I just saw that you were looking for people in the area. I'm in Highlands Ranch. I feel like I need to do a little more prep work before I start. Still trying to figure out the working out with weights part. I've been doing cardio at the rec center for about 3 months now, so my cardio is awesome. Did cardio Monday and today. Usually I do something everyday. Would love to hear from you.
My free day! I had an egg sandwich in the morning, leftover meaty pizza in the afternoon, KFC at night, plus some ice cream.... and 4 beers.....Geez - that sounds awful, doesn't it? The pizza was good, but I felt not so good after. The KFC not as good as I had hoped..... Everything else, great. But that's kinda how I got myself to the position I'm in now, except I drank a lot more beer.... Had a bad day at work yesterday.... really. First thing I wanted to do was go to McD's at lunch for a QP with cheese, then grab a 12 pack after work & start drinking... But I didn't! I ate the lunch I brought in and did 10 extra minutes on the treadmill after work. I did not want to drink after I worked out and that's the miracle of this program for me. Sorry to go on and on, but this one bad day at work could explode - if it does, I HAVE TO STAY ON THE PROGRAM (I'll be very tempted to give up). Thanks for the support.
Draken & 44 (Julie): It's got to be harder doing this with youngsters in the house - I admire your efforts. Mine are all grown, so I have more time to work on the program. Psychcjs I can not BELIEVE you have the gumption to wait 4 weeks to weigh!! I still have to weigh every day - can't help myself. I've lost 6 pounds now.... Keep at it - I look forward to hearing from you all - one of the highlights of my day....
I don't live anywhere near Denver, but I did start on Oct 15th and would love to support and be supported by others doing it at the same time :)
Welcome Maltipink. I'm in Philly and have benefited so much from this group so distance doesn't matter.
44 & Draken, I count my weeks and then break those down by days. Like today is day 3, week 2. That way, it doesn't seem so long and after every free day, I start over again. 3 more days to reset day. I do my planning, cooking and shopping for the week on reset day as well.
My upper body workout felt amazing this morning. I look forward to pushing those limits, reaching those 10s and improving my time and form. My one caveat is the eating. It still seems like I'm eating all the f*ing time (excuse the language) and it's frustrating. I'm at about 1200-1500 calories a day and I think that's a lot. Maybe it's just me and what I was eating post surgery. My cardio is going well. Looking forward to the short and sweet elliptical run tomorrow. Have a good evening guys. Time to eat. . . AGAIN. Ugh. But it works. I just have to work on overwriting the bad "low cal" code. Gotta put it in to burn it. Stay strong guys, 15 upper body and 16 lower body left.
I take one day at a time, just keep a mantra of one more day, one more day. Had the free day, had some carmels, pizza and banana bread, nothing made me feel great though! I do find myself hungry now, every few hours, at work it can be difficult!! I get 2 15 min breaks, so I run and scarf down a protein bar, at lunch I eat a lean hamb patty or turkey, I am such a picky eater!! But I make fries when I can on this diet, slice a potato thin, spray it with pam and pop in oven, closest taste to french fries!!! I tried wheat bread, not satisfying, so its just meat plain. fruit on the side or a pickle.Anyone else a picky eater?
Where did everyone go??
Lol. We're still here, I guess. I hope. I decided to switch my free day to Saturday. So today is day 1 of a new week. It feels better and I know I can sleep late on Saturdays :-D. I've been a little busy preparing for some chick named Sandy to come to Philly. I'm not worried about me or what I'm gonna eat, we're not in a low lying area, I'm worried about the panic and being able to fill in the blanks for my boys and the dog. But, I digress, today's workout went smoothly and I'm feeling good. Hope you guys are okay. Stay safe and have a good week.
Still here. Saturdays are harder for me - I think maybe I oughta make that my free day as well. But - I try to keep in in the road. Did my aerobic exercise (run/walk). So it's Sunday now & Sandy is heading to Psychcjs & leaving me behind (Virginia Beach). Still - a lot of wind and tidal flooding (not a ton of rain). Had a good free day so far but I really do look forward to my workouts after work. Draken - I'd say I'm a picky eater... I'll try the chips sometime - Sounds good! I have some staples (cottage cheese, greek yogurt, chicken, beef, potatoes... Greek yogurt on a baked potato is twice as good as sour cream & fat free! Protein too! I use various condiments on everything (lemon juice, vinegar, steak sauces, etc). Gotta run - I do wonder where everyone went.... Come back - we miss you!
Hi everyone, I'm still here, too. My daughter had a fever this week and I had some bad stomach problems on Sunday but I'm still sticking to the eating plan. I even went roller skating yesterday. I ate some good stuff for my free day and felt satisfied but not stuffed. I got on the scale today and I gained one pound back after my free day, but that's not bad considering. So my goal for this week is to re-lose that pound plus one more at least and get down to 164 by Saturday. I started at 167.8 and I was down to 165 on Saturday morning. Today I was back up to 166, but at least still weigh less than when I started! My free day is Saturday, too. Sunday seems more like a get ready for the next week day to me so it's easier to stay on track that day. Have a great Monday everyone!

RENO — Since the weather is now warmer, the Reno Police Department has seen an increase in the thefts of motorcycles, scooters and mopeds.
The Reno Police Department has seen average of four or five mopeds stolen each week in the city. The thefts have been occurring all over the city, with the majority being close to the downtown area. This is common for this time of year, and police are looking to heighten awareness, and possibly prevent future thefts.
The scooters, mopeds and motorcycles are very popular during this time of year, and people tend to park them outside of businesses or homes with very little security, police said. This includes those times when the owner is only away from the bike for a very short period of time.
Some helpful security tips can include:
• Park or store your vehicle in well lit area with high to moderate foot traffic.
• Lock the steering column if it is equipped with one.
• Secure your vehicle to an immovable object with a heavy duty lock and chain.
• If possible, purchase and use a secondary locking mechanism such as a disc lock or throttle lock, or an alarm system that is motion, tamper or tilt activated.
In the event that your vehicle is stolen, have your vehicle identification number and any additional information ready when you call the police at the non-emergency number 334-COPS.
Anyone having information relating to these thefts should contact the Reno Police Department at 334-2115, Secret Witness at 322-4900, report online at www.secretwitness.com or text the tip to 847411 (TIP 411) keyword "SW."

|Let Us Design Your Site
|Get Traffic
My Space for your small business
By Rafe Needleman
Using the company's new Lite SiteBuilder tool, I created a five-page site for my business--journalism--in literally 10 minutes. For a 10-minute site, it looks quite good. It was especially easy to create because Homestead has several templates for journalists, as well as more than a hundred other categories, from Animal Breeding to Vegetarian Restaurant, each with several good layout options. The editing system is AJAX-based and runs within a browser (unlike Homestead's previous site-building tool, which requires a download). For my site, all I had to do was point it to a picture of myself on my PC and enter in some text. It was also very easy to get the site to display my blog, which I host elsewhere, simply by giving the design tool the coordinates of my blog's RSS feed. The site building and hosting service (with custom domain name included) runs from $10 to $50 a month, depending on options and extras.
Also new is Homestead's search engine marketing service, Searchlight. It'll place ads for you on the major search engines and guarantee you qualified traffic at about $1.50 a click. It's a hefty markup on what you would pay if you went direct to the engines, but if you don't have the time to become a SEM expert, you may find it a fair trade.

Received a wonderful comment from Susan, regarding my paternal 6th-great grandfather, Samuel JEWETT. It seems that Samuel shared my interest in gardening, as according to this website about his farm, he was the developer of the type of apple known as Jewett Red or "Nodhead", which is a dessert variety.
Apparently, the apple was named "Nodhead" after Samuel, who had a reputation for nodding his head while walking or talking. Did a quick search online to find that this variety is not known outside of New England. Interesting.
Would love to see if I can locate a couple of these type of apple trees to plant in my backyard. What an interesting way to have a connection with a long distant ancestor.

These electrons want to go to ground and will take the easiest path.
If the designed path is not available for them due to a broken wire/open connection, they look for another way out, like someone touching the washer and dryer at the same time and they will take that path at the speed of light.

Georgia runs out of time in SEC loss to Alabama
|Alabama running back Eddie Lacy (42) reacts with offensive linesman D.J. Fluker (76) after scoring a touchdown against Georgia during the second half of the Southeastern Conference championship NCAA college footballÜgame, Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012, in Atlanta. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
ATLANTA (AP) — Alabama is heading back to the national championship game — by a mere 4 yards.
AJ McCarron threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper with 3:15 remaining, and the No. 2 Crimson Tide barely held off No. 3 Georgia, 32-28, in a Southeastern Conference title game for the ages Saturday.

Fabulous Victorian Diamond Cuff Bracelet
The wide hinged cuff bracelets are typically seen in silver. Here we have one which in all likelihood was worn by a woman of means. The bracelet was one of the more popular jewelry articles of the Victorian era and was often worn in multiples of two to four on each arm. Plain, gem-set, narrow or wide these bracelets were a fashion statement of the day.

In July 1997, NMFS approved the amendment requiring BRDs, which function like one way valves allowing fish to escape the nets. NMFS's own documents affirm that finfish bycatch outweighs shrimp in trawler nets by a ratio of at least 4.2 to 1. Of particular concern is the bycatch of juvenile red snapper, an important commercial and recreational species whose population is already overfished.
Shrimp trawlers kill approximately 80% of the juvenile snapper in a given year. Even if commercial harvest of red snapper stopped entirely, bycatch is so extreme that it would still prevent the population from recovering.
The bycatch amendment aims to reduce bycatch of red snapper by 44%, in order to effect its recovery in the Gulf. At a low cost to the shrimp industry, BRD's would save the imperiled red snapper fishery.
NMFS has dragged its feet on implementation of the rule, overstepping by over 5 1/2 months the October deadline for action.
"With 100 million pounds of juvenile fish being killed in shrimp nets every year, the Federal Government's neglect of this crucial issue is inexcusable," said David Guest, an attorney with Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund.

When a Pennsylvania Dutch tradition heads to the far east, can it possibly be good? Well we've seen whoopie pies take over the internet. This inside out cupcake cookie hybrid has been turned into all sorts of things, from chocolate and peanut butter to pumpkin to matcha. Like cupcakes the options are endless, so the boys and I had a great time brainstorming options of playing with this goodie. I did nix the tomato whoopie pie, and they did suggest grasshopper - with real grasshoppers for crunch. Hey they think outside the box. But we did come up with two winners.
The first, a gluten-free chocolate cake embraces a sesame buttercream stuffed with English toffee. The dark chocolate and bitter sesame are a wonderful foil to the sweet buttercream, and the toffee adds just the right crunch. For extra texture, the tops are dipped in caramelized sugar and sesame seeds.
But we couldn't stop there. What we came up with next is a revelation in whoopie pies. Mixing together mochi cake with whoopie pies we have a wonderfully moist, rich and slightly chewy whoopie pie. And it's naturally gluten free. This is like no other whoopie pie you have had, so I can't call it a whoopie pie. It deserves it's own name, so we renamed this goodie the whochie.
Sesame Chocolate Whoopie Pies (Gluten Free)
- 2 cups gluten free flour blend
- 1/2 cup dutch process cocoa
- 1 1/4 t baking soda
- 1 t salt
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 stick softened butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 t vanilla
- 1 egg
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with silpats.
- Mix together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer until light and very fluffy, several minutes.
- Add vanilla and the egg and mix well.
- With the mixer on low, add 1/3 of the flour cocoa blend, followed by 1/2 of the yogurt, and repeat until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop, place the batter on the cookie sheet in 2 T portions. Allow room for them to spread.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies spring back when you touch them, cool for 5 minutes, and then transfer to wire rack to cool.
Sesame frosting
- 3/4 cup tahini
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 t roasted sesame oil
- English toffee bar, finally chopped
- Beat together tahini and butter, add in the powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time, then beat in the sesame oil. Beat on high until very fluffy. Fold in toffee bits
For the mochi cake cookies
- 1 cup sweet rice flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1 t baking powder
- 1 t kosher salt
- 2 T melted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 can coconut milk
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 t vanilla
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease the bottom half of 2 muffin tins with butter.
- Whisk together sweet rice flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
- Mix together butter, sugars, coconut milk, vanilla and eggs.
- Add in the rice flour mix and stir until well blended.
- Place 2-3 T of batter in the bottom of each muffin tin.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the cookies spring back when touched.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. DO NOT REFRIGERATE.
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 T heavy cream
- 2 T sweet rice flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 t kosher salt
- 1 1/2 sticks butter, room temperature
- 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 ounces 72% chocolate, melted and cooled to room temperature.
- Mix together coconut milk, cream, sugar and sweet rice flour in a small saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring occasionally, and allow to boil until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely to room temperature.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat coconut milk mixture with butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Add in powdered sugar, beat until fluffy.
- Add in chocolate and beat again until well incorporated.

What is in this article?:
- Leverage in Hotel Negotiation: Where You Have It, Where You Don't
- The Year Ahead
If you've been to an industry meeting in the past year, you may have heard Michael Dominguez, vice president, global sales, Loews Hotels & Resorts, talking about "the new abnormal." In a presentation he says he delivered 19 times in 2011, Dominguez pulls back the curtain on hotels' profit and loss statements as a way to help meeting planners get what they need in their contracts.
"Nothing makes you look weaker than trying to leverage something that has no leverage," Dominguez said during the version of the talk that he delivered for the Elite Meetings Alliance at Rancho Las Palmas in Rancho Mirage, Calif., January 31. To help, Dominguez reviewed how hotels view leads and the value they attach to your different buckets of spending. Here are some of his insights:
1. Know a hotel's profit powerhouses.
The revenue from rooms and from F&B is nearly equal in group-focused hotels. "Those are what we care about," Dominguez said.
2. Attrition revenue isn't the same as rooms revenue.
"It doesn't 'make us whole' because it doesn't completely count as RevPAR, and it doesn't count as market share," he said.
3. Don't automatically ask for 10 percent off F&B.
As noted, the revenue from rooms and the revenue from F&B are nearly equal. However, the cost to deliver F&B is 65 percent of the revenue it brings in. (The direct cost to deliver rooms is 24 percent of the revenue they bring in.) Why does that matter? Because you might want to re-think automatically asking for 10 percent off banquet menus, which typically, Dominguez says, have been priced so the hotel achieves its budgeted 35 percent profit margin. So when the menu says "filet" and "chef's choice of vegetable," what you get is going to depend on what you pay. When you get 10 percent off, you'll get the smaller filet—or a different protein altogether—and the lowest-priced vegetable. That's because chefs are evaluated on controlling food costs, Dominguez explains. "This isn't a hidden secret."
A better idea, in his view, is to give the chef a budget range and let him or her build you a menu you are happy with. Chefs want to create, he added.
A few other F&B budget-saving tips:
- Ask your convention services manager for the "value menu" or the "menu of the day." This is the "Ford assembly line theory of banquet food," Dominguez said. Piggybacking on what someone else is serving can save the hotel time and money—savings that could get passed along to you.
- Use food as décor: Try a dessert tree as your centerpiece.
- Serve food family-style. This way, the chef controls the portions. It's better than a buffet, because with a buffet you can't control the portions and you have to keep the serving dishes full, which inevitably leads to waste.
4. Spa and golf? Not so big.
Spa and golf revenue are part of an "other" category that brings in, for a hypothetical 500-room group hotel in the Western U.S., $7 million in revenue against $5.5 million in expenses. In other words, "very little true profit when all is said and done," Dominguez said. It's not nothing, but your group's massages and tournaments won't win you a better room rate.
5. The hotel will make its profit margin.
Why is a gallon of coffee so expensive? Why did service charges go from 14 percent to 23 percent? Hotels weigh a lot of variables when they do their pricing. For F&B currently, commodity prices are having a big impact: Last year's freeze in Florida, the ongoing Texas drought, coffee beans doubling in price, orange juice at an all-time high—all of these affect the chef's ability to keep food costs at 24 percent, which is his or her goal.
So when planners ask the questions above, Dominguez reminds them that they don't pay meeting room rental, yet there are hard costs (heat, light, power, labor) associated with using that space.
6. Buying out the restaurant might not matter.
Before you present your restaurant buyout as negotiating leverage, find out if the hotel owns that restaurant. It's become more common for hotels to house restaurants that they don't own, and in that case your buyout brings no additional revenue to the table.
7. One number you must know: F&B revenue per occupied group room.
Historically planners and suppliers have evaluated F&B spending with adjectives (such as "great"), Dominguez said. Now we need hard numbers: How does your F&B break down per occupied group room? For example: $20,000 in F&B spend over 200 group room-nights is $100 in F&B revenue per occupied group room.
Whether that's good or not so good depends upon the hotel's history. "Ask the hotel for the average at the time you want to book," Dominguez advised. "If your F&B per occupied group room is $100 in Tucson in March, that's not strong. The average is $175. I'm taking a hit from the F&B perspective if I take your group. Say you bring $225 in F&B per occupied group room to Tucson in March, then you have a ton of leverage on room rate."
8. Comp rooms cost hotels.
It doesn't mean you shouldn't ask for them, Dominguez said, but realize that every "one per 50" brings the hotel's average rate down about $2. It's the same for every two staff rooms that are priced at 50 percent of the group rate.
9. Gratuities get paid.
"We have some planners who remove contracted gratuities," Dominguez said. "But if gratuities are built into a compensation contract for staff, the hotel is paying it. It's a true cost that someone will pay."
10. Don't hold a meeting room for no reason.
For example, if you put a boardroom on 24-hour hold, you could cause the hotel to lose out on a social event or a local meeting. If you put a hold on the ballroom so you can set up midday Saturday, but your group isn't checking in until Sunday, you might cost the hotel a Friday night stay. Dominguez suggested a "plan A and plan B." Plan A is to have the setup Saturday night, even though you'll have to pay the higher union labor costs; then your plan B is to call the hotel three weeks out, and if the meeting space still isn't booked, you get your midday setup.

This recipe is for my friend, Rita. Every time I post a new recipe, Rita emails me, "Where is the Potatoes Au Gratin recipe you made for me?" I have no idea what she is talking about. Seriously!
Rita and her husband Norman came to dinner at my house years ago and supposedly I made them Potatoes Au Gratin. Apparently it was so good, she keeps asking for the recipe. Isn't it funny how different people remember different things. I remember them coming to dinner. I remember having a good time, but I have no idea what I served. I just hope Rita enjoyed my company as much as she enjoyed my cooking!
Some dishes I just make up on the spot and don't have a recipe for them. This must have been one of those dishes.
Finally, I was fooling around with some potatoes and came up with this recipe. I did read a few au gratin recipes from a few cookbooks to get a feel how I should make it. The truth is I don't like to use a lot of ingredients for something that should be just simple. Potatoes, cheddar cheese and cream are probably all you need to make this dish. I like using onions, for added flavor. It's the same reason I use butter. Many recipes call for heavy cream which I never use. Half and half is creamy enough and not so "heavy."
Rita, what are you going to email me now after reading this recipe and story? I am anxiously waiting to hear from you.
Potatoes Au Gratin
- 3 cups potatoes, sliced thin (about 5 medium size)
- 1/2 onion, sliced thin
- 1-1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Half and half
- Oven to 400 degrees.
- Slice potatoes with a mandolin for a very thin cut.
- Parboil the potato slices in water with a little salt for 3 to 4 minutes on a full boil, no longer. Drain well in a strainer.
- Grease an 8x8 baking dish.
- Layer sliced potatoes and onions, then potatoes again. Ending with potatoes.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the top. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- Pour half and half over the top of the cheese. I start with 1/2 cup and see if I can see the cream coming up through the potatoes, if not, pour another 1/4 cup at a time If you want it less creamy only use the 1/2 cup.
- Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until cheese looks a little brown and it is bubbly. Serve immediately while still warm.
- ENJOY! Who wants a Baked Potato, when you can have Potatoes Au Gratin!

I'll begin today's wrap-up of my endless series on common mispronunciations and fractured expressions with a seasonal entry.
"Halloween is for All Hallows' Eve," a voice mailer complained. "It is Halloween, not Holloween."
I've never thought about it, but she's absolutely right. I hear Holloween all the time.
I intend to take a rapid fire approach to get as many more in as I can, but since I've harped on unnecessary quotation marks and solicited your photos of examples — I threw one of them in today — I'll share a story from a reader who said this is one of his pet peeves.
» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
"One of the BIG TIME newspaper publishers (it may have been Hearst) back in the 1920s had a running battle with his senior editor about using quotation marks to put emphasis on a word. The editor agreed that they do, indeed, add emphasis, but in a negative way. The publisher just would not agree to that point of view.
"The editor cooked up a phony front page, with the headline: Hearst Seen Leaving the Hotel with His 'Wife.' That was the end of the argument."
Now, rapid fire:
• "Radio commercial for The Morning Call: I didn't realize it is now pronounced MORN-in Call. I always thought it was Morn-ing CALL." Radio commercial for Air Products: Used to be AIR Products. Now it is Air PRO-ducts. And my least favorite, from the post-game IronPigs radio shows, it once was WILKES-barre. Now it is Wilkes-BA-rre."
• "A family member always pronounces wrought iron as 'roth' iron. And for years my husband would pronounce 'forsythia' as 'forcynthia.' I always teased him about having a former girlfriend by that name! But just recently I heard another person also mispronounce it. Maybe a PA Dutch thing?"
Someone else also sent me "forcynthia," so it's more common than I realized.
• The overuse of the words 'actually' and 'basically.' Other is media's misuse of the word troops. A troop is a group of something, so they're misusing it, making sound like more soldiers are being killed than actually are."
• "Deteriate for deteriorate."
• "Almost anything in a Dutchy accent, but especially words that end in 'ter.' Winter becomes win-der, Do not En-der, etc."
• "It's mirror, not meer."
• "Alls I know is that I really enjoy your columns."
• "Shi-ver-LAY instead of she-vrow-LAY."
• "Over the years I've been annoyed by people's use of 'up,' 'down' and 'over' in reference to a geographical point. Examples in Allentown: I'm going down to Philly tonight. I was up in New York last week. I was over in Jersey yesterday. And even worse: I was up in Philly last night."
• "I am a restaurant owner. One of my customers routinely mispronounces his order, no matter how many times we repeat the order, pronouncing it properly. My customer loves our Buffalo Caramari ('care-uh-marry'). I'm pretty sure he can pronounce the letter L, as he drinks Lite beer, so I guess he just has a mental hiccup when ordering our calamari. He has recently discovered crab rangoon, so now his complete order is for Buffalo Caramari and Crab Rong-Gong. Drives me bonkers!!!"
• "I am English and have been living in the U.S. nearly eight years. I must confess that some of the things people say over here drive me mad. Yes, one of those is 'I could care less' — totally nonsensical. Also totally nonsensical is 'me either.' The proper expression is 'me neither.' Another thing, why the dislike of the word 'and'? Over here people say 'go see' or 'come look.' "
• 1. The overuse of the word epic: 'A storm of epic proportions.' 'This was an epic performance.' Not everything that excites you will go down in history. When you overuse a word, it becomes trite and loses its punch. 2. The use of 'impact' as a verb where the word 'affect' would suffice. 3. This is a new one from the Weather Channel: calling a temperature of 100 degrees 'the century mark.' A century is a unit of time, not temperature. Grrr."
• "It's ORANG-OO-TAN, NOT ORANG-A-TANG, which sounds like a space age refreshment. How many people know that a RIG-A-MA-ROLL really is a RIG-MA-ROLL?"
• "Confusion over subjective usage, or subjectivitis: If I WAS a rich man, etc. Partial pronounial non-objectivitis: He taught him and I a lot about grammar. Anti-hamletitis: The question needs answered."
• "I have found another twist on the word 'interesting' here in Iowa. Out here it's 'intresting!' And gosh often sounds like 'garsh,' and wash comes out 'warsh.'"
• "I worked at a large local credit union for many years, and there was a woman from Texas who always thought the word 'worthwhile' was 'worthwild.' When it turned cold, the 'wind chill factor' became 'windshield factor.'"
• "When I was growing up in the '40s and '50s we would always say NO-TRA DAME. Somehow, that has morphed into NO-TER DAME. Everybody says it that way now. Why? Don't aks."
Thanks to all you Grammar Policepersons who participated. Your enthusiasm really impacted me.

UAS7: Germany, Cologne University of Applied Sciences
The Program
The UAS7 (7 German Universities of Applied Science) program is a 9 month study + co-op exchange open to all Drexel majors! Students choose to study at one of 7 German universities: Berlin, Bremen, Cologne, Hamburg, Munich, Muenster and Osnabrück. The UAS7 program completely immerses students into German education, culture and work environment. Drexel students study together with local German and international students. During their co-op, students will get firsthand experience working in international teams. This is a wonderful opportunity to perfect your German language skills, meet German locals and gain international work experience!
For more information, including links to the various universities, course offerings, and more visit the UAS 7 program web site.
The UAS7 universities offer course in a variety of majors. To find out more, please visit the university websites. Students can choose from a wide range of subjects and classes offered in German and in English. Nonetheless, students should prepare to take most, if not all, of their coursework in German. Also, students can continue to advance their German skills by taking additional language classes.
UAS7 program calendar:
* Late Aug/ Sept: Orientation and intensive German language course
* Oct - Feb: Full time course load at the university (fall term classes)
* Feb - June: professional internship in a company or research institute (winter/spring co-op)
* Students return to Drexel campus in June for summer term.
Students should prepare to make adjustments and be flexible in fitting this program into their Drexel schedule. Due to the need for cycle adjustments, students should begin planning 12-18 months in advance.
Things to consider when choosing the location best suited for you: Course offerings of the university; potential internship opportunities in that location; past approvals on the course equivalency sheets. Keep in mind that the course equivalency list is always growing, as more students participate in the program.
Cologne University of Applied Sciences - Course Equivalents.xls
If you would like to take courses abroad that are not listed, you will need to get equivalents approved by the appropriate department at Drexel. For example, if you want to take a sociology course for Drexel credit, the Sociology Department at Drexel must pre- approve the course and equivalency.
Grading: Students are taught and graded by German faculty at their host university. Grades are noted as "CR/NCR" on their transcript and will NOT affect their GPA. In order to receive CR students must earn a "C" or above at the host institution. The goal is to be a full-time student at the host institution while also taking the equivalent of a full-time load at Drexel. A full course load at a German school is between 20-30 ECTS credits per semester.
The language requirement for this program is German 203. Students should consider taking more language courses during their freshman summer vacation term or on campus during their co-op terms in order to advance their language skills more quickly. For more information please contact Modern Languages Department at 215-895-5816.
The Experience
Many of the UAS7 schools can arrange or offer help finding accommodations. Students are encouraged to live in the residence halls because in some cities, such as Berlin and Munich, finding off-campus housing can be difficult.
Applicants from the United States and Canada don't need a visa to enter Germany. However, all students staying in Germany longer than three months need to obtain a residence permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis) from their local Immigration Office after their arrival. Students do not need a work permit since their internship is part of an international exchange program.
Scholarship Information
This is a Drexel sponsored program, thus all of your financial aid travels with you. If you are interested in seeking additional funding, you should considering applying for study abroad Scholarship & Funding Opportunities. Remember that scholarship deadlines may be much earlier than study abroad deadlines, so plan accordingly.
The SIP (Study and Internship Program) sponsored by the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) is a 6- month scholarship that awards approximately ?675/mo. for living expenses, including a monthly contribution to cover health and accident insurance. In addition, students receive ?850 as a contribution to travel expenses. Lastly, students are compensated by their employer a minimum of ?500/month during their internship. With all of these financial resources, money should not prevent you from taking advantage of this fantastic opportunity!
A selection committee composed of UAS7 academics and international education experts will select the SIP Scholarship grantees.

Burr Tools is a set of programs for solving some kinds of puzzles, namely puzzles that are made out of square, cube-shaped, spherical, or triangular units, and whose solution also contains only pieces aligned along those grids. The program finds assemblies for the puzzle and animates how you have to assemble for some of them.
Multiplication Station will teach your child to add, subtract, and multiply. It is a multi-user application with a simple admin interface. All parameters are configurable, like grid size and the fonts and colors of number ranges. A countdown timer is used to keep the player's attention focused. A list of high scores is maintained.
Math Volcano is a Javascript Web application for memorizing multiplication tables through "12 x 12." Individual and cumulative clock time information is shown in a table. Each "level" can be repeated until the clock times are satisfactory. Cookies are used to store the clock time information for five days after the session. Student interest is increased by allowing them to repeat individual levels to improve their clock times. After completing all levels, the sleeping volcano awakens!

In April 2004, the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA) established business relations with Dyadic International, Inc. Their manufacturing plants in Poland and the USA have been inspected and found to meet GMP and Halal requirements.
Dyadic International, Inc. is currently producing over eighty-five IFANCA Halal certified products that are manufactured at the Polish and American plants. Among the IFANCA Halal certified products are various Food Grade Enzymes. Dyadic International, headquartered in Jupiter, Florida, USA, is the first company to obtain IFANCA Halal certification in Poland.
Dyadic International markets its products and services to the textile, chemical, agricultural, pulp & paper, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and other industries, using its proprietary C1 Expression Technology, a patented protein expression system for the development and production of biological products.
Dyadic is enjoying continuous growth in the Industrial Enzyme Business Unit (30% growth in the last 2 years). Dyadic believes that the C1 Expression System will eventually be able to produce therapeutic proteins more efficiently, in larger volumes and at lower costs than the existing methods in use by pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms. That could make these drugs more affordable to a growing patient population.
On behalf of IFANCA, I would like to thank Dyadic for their continued dedication to providing Halal certified enzymes for use by the pharmaceutical, food, and other related industries.
1. Can We Eat Products Containing Sodium Steroyl Lactylate?
Sodium stearoyl lactylate is an emulsifier. There are many different emulsifiers used in the food industry. Others include monoglycerides, diglycerides, esters of fatty acids and lecithin. Emulsifiers are compounds used to keep oils or fats and water dispersed in one phase (i.e., they prevent oil and water from separating). This is important in products that combine water soluble and oil soluble ingredients. Emulsifiers are used in a wide variety of products including baked goods, peanut butter, margarine, shortening and other products.
These items can be derived from animal or vegetable sources. Unless the source is known, we consider them questionable because they may have been derived from haram sources. At present, food labels do not usually list the source of these questionable ingredients so the only way to know if they are appropriate for the Halal diet is to ask the manufacturer about the source or for the product containing the ingredient to be Halal certified. Of course, Halal certification is preferred.
And ALLAH, Subhanahu wa ta'ala, knows best.

AUSTIN -- A recent episode of a fictional, cable television series sparked debate and even some controversy in the medical community over the security of certain wireless medical devices, especially those that may be implanted in the body.
The particular episode of the Showtime series "Homeland" sent shock waves, not only through the body of the man playing the vice president of the United States, but through the real life technical and medical communities as well. The show portrays foreign and domestic terrorists working together to secure the serial number of the VP's defibrillator. They then use it to remotely send a giant surge of electricity into his heart, resulting in a fatal heart attack.
"In honesty, it is still more fiction," said Kristopher Heinzman, a cardiac electrophysiologist at Seton Heart Institute.
Heinzman says while these medical devices have the ability to communicate wirelessly, that communication is still fairly limited.
"The process that somebody would have to go through to make this even remotely possible is very extensive at this point," said Heinzman.
You'll notice Heinzman never said it was impossible. That's why he says the FDA and the tech companies that make these devices, while looking for ways to make them more convenient for patients, also realize with that convenience comes greater concerns about high tech security.
"As this progresses it's going to be important to pay attention to all of this wireless technology to make sure there aren't leaks in that security moving forward," said Heinzman
To combat congestive heart failure, 69-year-old John Murphy of South Austin had his defibrillator implanted about a year ago.
"The peace of mind involved there just cannot be described," said Murphy.
Murphy says that peace of mind outweighs the negatives associated with any futuristic security concerns over hacking his defibrillator.
"There's probably reasons to be concerned, but I'm not going to do it," he said.
Heinzman says it's important for doctors to talk to their patients about the benefits and disadvantages of any medical devices they're considering. To that end, Heinzman says chances that that defibrillator will treat a dangerous arrhythmia and potentially change a patient's life for the better is as high as 25 percent. Conversely the chances of them having any bad experience from a hacking or any type of wireless invasion of their device is so remote that he says it doesn't even compare to that possible benefit.

The GRP is a voluntary conservation program administered by the USDA's NRCS that helps landowners protect grazing uses and related conservation values by conserving grassland, including rangeland, pastureland, shrub land, and other landscapes. GRP provides support for working grazing operations, enhancement of plant and animal biodiversity, and protection of grassland under threat of conversion to other uses. Participating landowners voluntarily limit future development and cropping uses of the land while retaining the right to conduct common grazing practices and operations related to the production of forage and seeding, subject to certain restrictions during nesting seasons. In the 2008 Farm Bill, the amount of land that could be enrolled in GRP was increased by 1.22 million acres, and the USDA was authorized to enter into cooperative agreements with landowning entities to enable them to acquire easements. Unfortunately, the demand from farmers and ranchers in the Prairie Pothole Region far exceeds the program's available funding. Furthermore, GRP will also suffer the same fate as the Wetlands Reserve Program unless additional acres are authorized in the next Farm Bill.
The Prairie Pothole Region was once part of the largest grassland ecosystems in the world. However, the region has changed dramatically since the days of Lewis and Clark. After settlement, grasslands in the most productive portions of the PPR were converted to cropland to feed a growing world population. Today, grassland-dominated landscapes are largely confined to areas with poor soils, steep topography, and/or climatic conditions unsuitable for crop production.
A new wave of grassland conversion has occurred in the last decade, causing significant ecological and sociological impacts to the region. Current farm policy is fueling the destruction of this rare and important habitat. Congress must implement a policy in the 2012 Farm Bill to reverse this trend. Ducks Unlimited suggests calling this the "Sodsaver" provision.

A word from Taste Restaurant & Wine Bar
TASTE Restaurant and Wine Bar reflects Eli Zabar's passion for flavor-driven New American menus. Inspired by the finest and freshest produce, seafood, and meat available; Eli serves spontaneous flavorful food, not fussy, just straightforward and delicious. Local purveyors are favored as well as
Eli's own rooftop greenhouse, which produces heirloom tomatoes, salad greens, fresh herbs, figs and strawberries. A tightly edited wine list with a focus on Burgundy and the Cote de Rhone enhances the menu and wine pairing is a defining theme on the small plate menu offered at the bar.

Diner Reviews
The food was delicious but the
wine was spectacular! They have the benefit of being connected to their wine shop and they have a limited but well chosen wine list. The prices were reasonable and we were not disappointed with the choices. Additionally the service was very attentive and took very good care of us. It is a small place, maybe 120 seats and that lends to a very quiet and relaxed experience."
Dined on 3/8/2014
Exemplary wait staff--what all
restaurants should emulate. Overall, food very well prepared, if somewhat pricey."
Dined on 3/3/2014
Always comfortable and food top
notch. Not inexpensive. In the midst of renovation. For now, seating reduced and near bar area."
Dined on 2/26/2014
Saw iffy re view in NYT, went
anyway, dining room was little threadbare but seated right away enjoyed the suggestion of wine/drink pairings! had terrific brisket, colleague completely finished fish and salad, warm welcome and service. a find.. accessible for this wheelchair using foodie (showed us the access route, though not advertised as accessible!)"
Dined on 2/26/2014
Went for restaurant week and
really enjoyed. Chose an appetizer off the regular menu - the zucchini fritti; which was awesome. Bread was warm+delicious. Wine was great. It was pretty empty when we went, which was surprising. I think people don't really know Taste is there. I've probably passed it 1,000 times and always thought it was part of Eli's. Anyway, the chicken, sea bass and brisket were all REALLY good (we all share)-cooked the right way, for the right amount of time, w/ the right flavors. YUM. Service was ok. Expected a little more attentiveness due to the emptiness, but maybe it was thought that we just wanted to have a girls' night to ourselves. Dessert was just ok, cappuccino was bitter, but all-in-all, great meal. I'll be back!"
Dined on 2/24/2014
You don't find many quiet
restaurants on a Saturday night in Manhattan. The restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived at 7:00 which was great because one in our party was 90 years old and hard of hearing. It was filling up as we left so if you have an elderly friend to take out to dinner, try Taste in the early evening. The food was great ,as was the service. The portions were not oversize so no food to take home which, if you are visiting Manhattan and staying in a hotel, this is a plus."
Dined on 1/25/2014
This was the second time we ate at
Taste and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner both visits. Drinks before dinner were well mixed. The oysters were lovely and the steak is probably the best I have ever eaten. Staff actually remembered us from our prior dinner. Service was attentive but not intrusive. They grow their own greens and everything is high quality. We will definitely be back"
Dined on 12/27/2013
While menu changes infrequently,
wines are varied with odd bottles from the wine shop next door popping up. Had a pricey Santorini white---superb---highly recommended. Food always good and bread outstanding. If you've got the dough it's great."
Dined on 12/23/2013
We had a very nice dinner at
Taste. Our reservation was on the later side and the restaurant was very quiet. We had a wonderful table in the corner. The wine list wasn't specifically large, but very well put together with quite a broad range of options and well priced I think. The service was perfect UES service: professional, polite, well informed, but also very unobtrusive. Meal was excellent and the lemon meringue cake was the perfect way to end a well balanced meal."
Dined on 11/23/2013
Is it OK for arestaurant to be OK?
Yes, but at these prices it should feel more "generous". But it is OK."
Dined on 11/4/2013
Love this place. Super food,
lovely service, seems easy to get into and nicely quiet. Has become a regulator"
Dined on 10/17/2013
Returning to Taste after a long
time and hoping to find something different it was disappointing to say the least. I am not exactly sure why dining there is so unsatisfying but it may just be that at the very high prices you expect something more. Taste does not feel generous. The service is fine.
