Last month, Southern Living released their 100 Places to Eat list, and as can be expected, New Orleans had eight restaurants on the list. This just goes to show that NOLA's food isn't only revered by its locals and tourists but by people and food critics the world over. Here is the list of eight selected restaurants.
1. Cochon. Cochon is a delicious upscale restaurant in the Warehouse District with a wood-burning oven and a penchant for fantastic meats. And of course, with a name like Cochon (French for pig), they feature some fabulous pork dishes, including (on their current menu) smoked pork ribs, pork cheeks, smothered pork loin and Louisiana cochon with cracklins.
2. Commander's Palace. Arguably one of the best and most famous restaurants in the city, Commander's Palace is a Garden District delicacy, and their chef Tory McPhail recently won the 2013 James Beard Best Chef: South award. He has an obsession with Creole and Louisiana cuisine, and his menu ultimately reflects that.
3. Coquette. Coquette takes a localized approach to their menu of innovative southern cuisine. Its menu changes daily, but a sample menu includes everything from yellownfin tuna crudo to chicken fried sweetbreads and classics like pork loin, duck, softshell crab and baby eggplant.
4. Domenica. Domenica, which means Sunday in Italian, is one of renowned chef John Besh's restaurant, located downtown in the Roosevelt Hotel. It is especially known for its selection of gourmet pizzas, and it has a more casual, homey feel to it than other restaurants on this list. They serve custom-brewed beers and an Italian-focused wine list to complement their rustic Italian country fare.
5. Dooky Chase's Restaurant. Initially a sandwich shop and lottery ticket outlet opened in 1941, Dooky Chase's evolved into a bar and then a quintessential restaurant on the lineup of the best. Located in the Treme, the restaurant is still family-owned and operated to this day. Besides its lunch buffet, restaurant classics include Creole gumbo, stuffed bell peppers and shrimp, shrimp Clemenceau and fried chicken.
6. Gautreau's. This restaurant (and its chef) have earned countless Best Restaurant titles over the years. This lush, Uptown garden spot is especially for developing young talent in the area, and it serves such elegant food as foie gras torchon, duck confit with blueberry balsamic, sautéed grouoer with green harissa and ricotta and spinach gnudi with truffle nage.
7. Peche Seafood Grill. Located in the arts sector of the Warehouse District, Peche specializes in preparing coastal seafood that takes a contemporary approach to old world cooking methods. The restaurant uses an open hearth over hardwood coals to prepare their rustic dishes that features the best in Gulf seafood and the cooking techniques used to make it shine.
8. Toups Meatery. This Mid-City gem has deep roots steeped in Louisiana cuisine. Their menu features a charcuterie menu with several fresh and cured meats and condiments as well as a cheese board and pickle plate of homemade pickles. Their large plates include roasted pork shoulder grillade, confit chicken legs, short ribs and tri tip steak.

Symposium "Older Workers in an Aging Workforce: A Global Perspective"
16 November 2011—On November 19, Dr. Allan Morgan, Sloan Center Research Fellow, will facilitate a discussion at the Gerontological Society of America's 64th Annual Scientific Meeting in Boston (Nov 18-22).
Following brief remarks from each panelist regarding aspects of older workers in their particular countries, Dr. Allan Morgan will facilitate discussion focused on public policy measures taken or anticipated. Questions to address include: As the global economy recovers and the workforce ages, will employers increase demand for older workers? Have public policy measures affected employer demand for older workers? Is intergenerational conflict a concern if older workers remain in or return to the workforce?

Just about a month before Election Day, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will have something MAJOR to celebrate: Their 20th wedding anniversary! Let's give 'em a round of applause! Not only because they've made it two whole decades as married people (while some famous folks in this country can't seem to stay married much longer than two months ...), but because they really still do completely and utterly adore one another. But yeah, we all know that already. Old news. New news? They talked about Fifty Shades of Grey on Entertainment Tonight last week!
The First Couple have been approached with Qs about the sexy series before, individually, but not yet while sitting down to be interviewed together. And this time, their collective response to Nancy O'Dell's brazen inquiry was by far THE BEST yet!
Check it out ...
More from The Stir: Ryan Gosling's Secret Fantasy Makes Him Sexier Than Christian Grey (VIDEO)
They don't get to talking about Fifty Shades until the very end, when Nancy poses the burning question, but the rest of the interview is pretty darn cute, so it's worth watching, too!
Oh, I love them -- they're too cute! But alright, let's discuss. So, I definitely trust that the FLOTUS doesn't have the time to pick up E.L. James' raunchy read, but I wouldn't be surprised if Michelle has a liiiittle bit more knowledge of it than she lets on. Mostly because of the way she said, while smirking, "I think everyone has heard what Fifty Shades of Grey is about!" Uh-huh! I'd venture to guess she had someone on her staff read her an excerpt or two at one point!
At any rate, I feel like both Michelle and Barack have handled the media's interrogation about the series perfectly. Like Nancy said, they're good sports for even acknowledging her silly Q. And, by the way, if one of them had read it, do you think they'd ever actually admit that to the American people? NOOOO! After all, some regular Americans don't even want to admit that they've read it (or are reading it -- hello, most read e-book, um, EVER?!).
How do you think the Obamas have handled being questioned about Fifty Shades of Grey?

YWFT S3 Regular Font by YouWorkForThem
About: Quick, somebody call Erich von Däniken! YWFT S3 is a folktronic, arts-and-circuits, crocheted robotic masterpiece of the first order, with two weights (regular and alternate) and two pattern fonts, also at two weights (regular and alternate). When certain letter combinations are typed ("JLJLJL" for example), pre-kerned patterns are revealed like Indiana Jones in the Temple of Kern. Less about aesthetic or tradition, and more about decadent artistic license, YWFT S3 is for designers who truly want to boldly go where no fonts have gone before.

While Google has been working on a new Google Maps app for iOS, the question has been raised as to whether or not the app will be approved. Google apparently wishes to launch the app by the end of the year, but certain circles within the company are wondering if Apple will draw out the approval process for the app or reject it outright. These groups place the blame on industry politics, and cite the lack of apps using the Google Map API in Apple's "Find maps for your iPhone" App Store section as the reason for their skepticism. Michael Grothaus of the Guardian reports that some within Google believe that the bad blood between the companies is the reason for this omission:
Further, a source at Google told me the feeling is that those apps were purposely left out of the new section because they promote Google and its "superior product" – at a time when there is so much bad blood between the companies over the continuing smartphone patent litigation (following allegations from the late Steve Jobs that Google's Android OS ripped off iOS). In other words, no matter how bad Apple's Maps are, the company still wants its users to move on from Google – and forget about them. This doesn't bode well for the approval of an official Google Maps app, the source says.
However, it wouldn't make any sense for Apple to outright reject the full Google Maps app directly from Google. Apple wants you to use maps, certainly, but if you use a Google Maps iOS app instead, you're still using it on an iOS device, and Apple still wins. Additionally, Apple has been down this road before with Google Voice, when they removed all Google Voice apps from the App Store for over a year and ended up facing the threat of a Federal investigation.
Apple surely has no desire to repeat that episode on a much larger scale. Rejecting the Google Maps app at this point would be a bad move, and a very public one at that. Many more people use Google Maps than have ever used Google Voice, and there would no doubt be a much greater uproar if Apple rejected a Maps app from Google.
There may well be an awkwardly long delay in the approval process once Google sends the new Google Maps app to Apple, similar to the one Google Search just experienced, but don't expect an outright rejection.

Little Bear Fire victims call for investigation
Investigators continue to take a look into what caused the Little Bear Fire to rage out of control earlier this summer, but what they found has some fire victims calling for a deeper probe.
Keith Ditmore's 2,000-square-foot home was reduced to a pile of rubble after the Little Bear Fire tore through towns north of Ruidoso.
"It's devastating, you know. Like everyone else around here, we lost it all and it didn't need to happen," Ditmore said.
Ditmore said it's time for someone to step up and take responsibility for letting the fire burn for a few days before the winds helped it spread to more than 45,000 acres.
"I think the forest service dropped the ball on it. It could've been contained. They had three days. It smoldered on the mountain. We watched it, and they waited for the wind, and they let it roll," Ditmore said.
The New Mexico Attorney General's Office said the spread of the fire had nothing to do with human error. The office launched an investigation to look into any mismanagement saying, "There is no evidence that anything other than a full fire suppression effort was made by the federal authorities tasked with fighting this massive fire. There is no evidence that anything other than a full fire suppression effort was made."
But some fire victims told Action 7 News they don't buy it.
"It needs to be investigated, seriously investigated. Everybody that had anything to do with it needs to be questioned," resident Benny Runnels said.
According to the Attorney General's office, the case is closed and they won't be taking any further action.

Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird
Gerwig's highly touted debut film (100% Rotten Tomato critics rating), may be a bit overrated. Still, I found the movie well-acted (Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf), charming, a bit in the vein of St. Vincent and episodic. Well worth seeing.

Re: Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird
It might be nice if they made a movie about Claudia "Lady Bird" Johnson, though I suppose she was too dull to make a good subject. Although Lyndon was unfaithful and that fact was well known to her, recently released tapes show that he relied on her greatly for advice, and she gave very good advice. Compare that to JFK, who could barely stand the company of his glamorous and intelligent wife, excluded her from all his men's-club-like political discussions, and always insisted on company for dinner at the White Hous if the alternative was to eat privately with her.
To get back on topic, I will make a point of seeking out this movie based on j's recommendation.

Re: Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird
I had mentioned this movie to my IB class as one that might appeal (it does not romanticize the parochial high-school experience). Two of my students, both male, had already seen it and thought it was excellent.

Recently, I was contacted by a reader who attended the recent Startup Weekend in Madison. He asked me about my thoughts on using tablet computers to work with an EMR system.
I told him that, although it is possible to work with our EMR via tablet, I usually use a PC desktop machine, which I find much more versatile. I like the concept of a tablet, but it really is more of a visual statement/wow factor (think Star Trek) for patients to see a doctor using rather than necessary. I think it might be more important if I were walking around a hospital from room to room, or moving from room to room to see patients. However, my workflow model includes a brief exam with each patient at the beginning of our encounter and then moving quickly from the exam room to my office for across-the-desk counseling and discussion. It works well this way and appears more professional in my opinion (rather than doing everything in the exam room and then ending the encounter.)
My further thoughts on tablets are that they may be a passing fad, especially now that Apple has introduced lightweight "Air" laptops. In reality, I have both an iPad-2 and an iPad-Mini that, for the most part, sit in a drawer unused. I do almost everything in my life on an iPhone, my Macbook Air, my office PC, and my home PC. Tablets do not play a major role. I think the necessity of a good physically distinct keyboard is so natural and intuitive that this essentially makes tablets less attractive. The only thing that makes a tablet more attractive, which I predict will be included in laptops in the future, is standalone cellular service that obviates the need for wi-fi or hardwire connectivity.

As a result, I tend to take a fair number of them to reuse as water glasses. You know, the big ones you put on the bedside table to combat the effects of winter dryness, and all that. A couple of others have been filled and used as vases, though fresh flowers aren't much of an option now that winter has arrived. My kids have even each used one for their 'rewards jar', which they take a prize from at the end of each week as an allowance for doing their chores.
I have run out of ideas on what to do with these multiplying menaces. I learned how to make my own sauce and salsa in order to avoid acquiring anymore. But what to do with the few dozen still crammed into a cupboard in my kitchen...I could use the space!
This past weekend I sat down and started to really search out things to do with them. The holidays are just around the corner, so it seems like a good time to put them to use. I was relieved to find many struggle with this question, and some pretty cool ideas have come out of upcycling needs. As you would expect, a whole lot of these people had gathered on Pinterest. Man, I love that site.
Here are five of my favorites glass jar upcycling ideas for Christmas (psst: Don't forget to check out our previous glass jar DIY projects: DIY Glass Jar Lanterns and DIY Sun Jars).

Commercial / Business Recycling
A wide variety of materials from businesses can be recycled and reprocessed—such as scrap metals, building materials, office furniture, business electronics and phones—in addition to conventional recyclables like cardboard, glass, paper, plastic, and compostables.
Free recycling assistance
The Green Business Program, a free resource provided by Seattle Public Utilities, provides free recycling and conservation assistance to all Seattle businesses. Call (206) 343-8505.
Private recycling services
Seattle businesses can also request recycling service from any private recycling company. Many recycling companies will collect recyclable materials in a comingled all-in-one collection container. For referrals to private providers, contact the Green Business Program online or by phone at (206) 343-8505.
Self-haul recycling
If your business doesn't need regular recycling service, you can take accepted materials to the Transfer Stations. There is no charge for recycling traditional items like glass, metal and plastic. The transfer stations also recycle building materials, vehicle batteries, used motor oil and tires; fees may apply.
Keep recyclables and compostables out of garbage
City ordinance requires recyclable materials, compostable materials, and yard debris be kept out of garbage. Garbage containers filled with more than 10 percent of recyclables and compostables will be tagged. After two warnings (pdf), businesses will be charged $50 for each violation.
Clear Alleys Program
If your building is in Belltown, Downtown, or Pioneer Square, containers may not be stored in the public right-of-way. Learn about the City's Clear Alleys Program.
Why waste a good thing?
Even better than recycling is reuse, such as using building materials and architectural pieces that have been salvaged from construction and remodeling projects. Online exchanges can help your business find items you need or an eager buyer for your surplus goods.
Commercial Compost Collection costs less than regular garbage pickup. It diverts yard debris and food scraps from the landfill by turning them into compost for local parks and gardens.
Often, valuable materials can be recovered even from wastes that are hazardous—such as mercury-containing fluorescent tubes. For help on recycling and safe disposal of hazardous waste, call the Business Waste Line (206) 296-3976.
Limited-service cart recycling
If you have a City of Seattle commercial garbage account, you are eligible for free cart recycling service. The service is limited to two (2) recycling carts, collected every other week. For more information, contact your garbage provider:
- Recology - (206) 250-7500
- Waste Management of Seattle - 1-855-894-9447

Two months ago, there was buzz in Bristol that Chris Berman was on the verge of re-signing a big contract. Bristolites were surprised. First, his contract wasn't set to expire till May 2013, so why do anything 10 months before? Especially since ESPN let plenty of prominent contracts go down to the wire this year? And the working theory before that had been that Berman would finish his current contract and be shown the door.
Ain't happening. Berman just signed what ESPN is calling a "multi-year extension." Newsday's Neil Best says it'll extend into the late 2010s.
So, it'll be business as usual for Berman, Bristol, and ESPN viewers. But one question lingers: In ESPN's season-opening Monday Night Football doubleheader, Berman will be in the announcing booth. This is something Berman wanted for a long, long time. He wanted the booth assignment really badly, and ESPN kept saying no (for obvious reasons). So did ESPN give him his long-awaited gift to set a good tone for negotiations? Or will we hear Berman on the occasional Monday night game from here on out? Let's pray it's the former.

Bernie Madoff's got some competition -- in the NFL.
Former NFL adviser Mary Wong, who worked with Michael Vick and two other major NFL players, was charged Monday with stealing $3 million from eight victims in a Ponzi-style scheme akin to Bernie Madoff's wallet-busting swindle.
Prosecutors say Wong used the money she raised from investments she sold to bolster her other businesses, using money from existing investors to pay past clients.
U.S. & World
Wong has also worked with Demorrio Williams of the Kansas City Chiefs and twin brothers Josh Bullocks and Daniel Bullocks of the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions, respectively.
Vick sued Wong in January for $2 million, a case that is pending in Virginia. Vick claims in the lawsuit Wong convinced him to give her power of attorney, which put her in control of his cash.
Wong was barred in 2007 from trading securities on the New York Stock Exchange.

Plus One Lap used to be all about cyclocross, now it's my dumping grounds for anything cycling.

World Champs this weekend
This weekend is the Cyclocross World Championships. I got my Giganews account this morning, just in time I think. Im hoping that I will be able to load the race onto this website for all to view. (note: if you want your own Giga News account so that you can watch the World Champs and all the other Euro-CX races of the season, click on the link and you get a 3 day free trial). So because I've got GigaNews now, I'm downloading the Hoogeheide race from 1/22. A member on weight weenies said that Johnathan Page was finally riding the carbon Cervelo thats been talked about for a long time now. I havent seen a picture make it to the internet yet. I contacted Cervelo and their reply was:
Hello Jeremy,
We have not gone public with any information about a Cervelo cross bike
at this point in time. If a bike does develop it would undoubtedly be a
tremendous bike that will rock the cross world and would probably
warrant an entire E news newsletter on it.
If that happens and one is interested one might sign up for our
newsletter to get new news first hand.
Thank you for your interest in Cervelo.
Chris, customer service
Cervelo Cycles Inc.
Im hoping by downloading the video of the race, I might catch a glimpse of the new frame. If I do, ill be sure to post a vidcap of the bike.

WINDOWS USERS For dummies, by dummies
Step One: Go to Giganews.com and fork out 12 bucks a month for an account (don't get the cheap one)
Step Two: Go to Newsbin.com and download their News Reader software (free trial)
Step Three: Install News Bin, tell it you have an account at giganews by entering the giganews server name (new.giganews.com) along with your user id and password
Step Four: Open Newsbin, go to group menu, select group options, find alt.binaries.multimedia.sports, check it, click OK
Step Five: right click on the a.b.multimedia.sports that has just appeared in the left-hand pane and choose "download all headers"
Step Six: wait until it is done, then type cyclocross in the box next to the find/clear buttons. You'll now have your list of cyclocross files
Step Seven: Choose which video you want first, Kalmthout World Cup, for example. That video has 37 files to download, highlight all of them, right click, and choose "Add to download list"
Step Eight: Now you need to get WIN RAR. Go to www.rarsoft.com/download.htm, download and install the free trial.
Step Nine: Open WINRar, go to the FILE menu, choose "Open Archive" and browse to Program Files\NBPro\DOWNLOAD (this is where the files you downloaded in step seven are located). Choose the .rar file called Part01, click OK. Right click on this file and choose "Extract to Specified Folder". Select your desktop and click OK. Wait for WINRAR to extract the file, when it is done you should have an MPG on your desktop that you can now play in the MPG viewer of your choice.

This is a still from the video for the Gorillaz song "Stylo." It contains many things; almost all of them are good. To paraphrase the infamous John McClane, "Now I have
a machine gun an El Camino. Ho ho ho."
Inventory time! In this charmingly creepy (or is that creepily charming?) video, we have:
1. Creepy bug-eyed cartoon monkey men-boys singing and driving a '69 Camaro SS
2. Bruce Willis sporting an El Camino, a very large revolver, and a leather jacket
3. That Bruce Willis smirk
4. Superchargers
5. Guns
6. A fat, donut-eating cop we've dubbed "Officer F. Bacon"
7. The American Southwest
8. A car that crashes through a billboard
9. Nitrous
10. Rorty V-8 noises
11. Donuts
12. Creepy Black-Fog Death Man
13. A shot of the El Camino that appears to have been flipped because the hood badge is backwards
14. A mysterious ending that involves a Camaro going off a cliff.
Ooh! The intrigue! The glamor! The weird cartoon monkeys! Yippee-ki-yay, motherf***er!

Please help me!
Scared? Yes. Overwhelmed? Yes.
In need of advice and reassurance?
17 comments:
Fizzy - I wish I had suggestions, but I'll be reading others' comments with hope. I'm 1 week away from delivering my 2nd and am nervous as heck. (The thought of pumping again... ugh.....)ReplyDelete
But you can do it! We managed once, we'll do it again. The first few weeks/months will be tough, but it will soon become the new normal. And heck, look at all the women who post here with 3 and 4 kids!
MLR: Yeah, I feel like such a wuss compared to the women with tons of kids. But it's sooo overwhelming to think about it. Hopefully, someone will have some helpful or comforting wisdom.ReplyDelete
Good news:ReplyDelete
Everything is easier because you've "been there, done that."
Each little tough spot is easier to bear because you know that it is finite. "When will she ever sleep more than three hours straight?" goes to "Will she ever eat anything green?" before you know it.
I won't candy coat everything. The sheer volume of attention demanded of you is going to increase immensely. Make sure you tell your daughter frequently that mom's have enough love for all their kids, cause she's going miss your time.
The sibling relationship is amazing to watch develop from day one. You have suddenly given your daughter a lifetime partner. Even when they are at each other's throats, you know they will probably be there for each other long after you are gone.
I guess discussing your mortality isn't that comforting, but hopefully some of the other stuff helped. I hope you live to be well over 100.
Oops, I think I was responding to MLR's condition, after I read her comment, accidentally. You already have your baby. I'll think on it and more tonight - gotta get back to work.ReplyDelete
Haha... you can email me too, Giz. I could use a private pep talk right now.ReplyDelete

What helped me to keep my sanity was family member living with us who eventually overtook night time care ( i had surgery shortly postpartum). In the absence of family ...I know women who hired overnight help for the first few months. In the current economy hopefully it has become cheaper.ReplyDelete
Hey, Gizabeth, I appreciate your comment nonetheless! ... and Fizzy, I didn't write that to make you feel inferior, but rather to reassure you (and me) that it CAN be done...ReplyDelete
Anon: My mother offered to live with us for a few weeks, but I'm pretty sure my husband would murder her during that time, so I declined the offer.ReplyDelete
MLR: I know... I tell myself that too :)
- AnonymousAugust 31, 2011 at 6:52 PM
I am there with you! I will be having my second anytime now and have this sense of impending doom about my return to work date which has already been set for Jan 5th. Thankfully I stood firm with my boss and will be coming back at 2.5 days a week, but I know even that will be challenging, especially with a spouse that works insane hours/travels routinely and no family support. Just knowing that others are going through the same thing and struggling is some how comforting...in a strange sort of way :). I wish I had a solution but there really isn't any. :)ReplyDelete
I am a single mom and have raised my son alone since he was 6 months old (at my choice). See, my son's father was absolutely gorgeous but also a football player and pot smoker. The pot helped him cope with the agony post-game. Once our son was born, I told him no more drugs, no more other women. When he refused to quit either of those, I kicked him out.ReplyDelete
Never saw him again.
From that point forward my focus was on raising my son to the best of my ability. I received my MBA in finance when he was 2, because a vice president of a public company when he was 15, and at 17, I started down the premed path taking the prerequisites for applications... oh, and started reading MCAT books while holding part time, full time and off-time jobs. We also had, at one point, 6 dogs... we're down to two.
Can it be done? Yes. Am I tired often? Yes. Would I change my decision 19 years ago to stay with his father and do this with a partner? No, I would not change a thing.
My son has learned to be more resilient and that anything can be accomplished if one just puts their mind to it (and the grace of God has given them the brains to do so). He has also learned what it is to sacrifice for a child and then reap the rewards later.
How'd I do it?
I made sure I always had "me" time. Maybe it was 1/2 hour in the bathroom with the water running just sitting there reaping the quiet and solitude; or maybe it was going to a movie alone; or maybe a concert in the park; or maybe it was running, or grooming the dogs, or reading or ... but I always made time for myself. When he got older and I was making great money, I took trips by myself to unwind. I'd do nothing but lie on the cabana chair, eat nachos and drink diet coke.
Somehow, I still hold to those tenets as I am in my last year of pre-reqs at the age of 47, holding a full time job and maintaining a 3.9...
I'm nothing special. YOU can do this too!!!
I actually found that going back to work after my second child was a welcome change. I only see patients part-time, so I get to split my time between home and office. The time in the office, although hectic and busy, makes it so much easier for me to deal with all the random craziness that comes from having 2 small children. I'm not saying I don't sometimes feel like a chicken with my head cut off. But my ability to really enjoy my children is improved when I am not with them 24/7.ReplyDelete
- mom of two and doc (and one on the way)August 31, 2011 at 9:09 PM
congratulations! somehow i missed that you had a new arrival. As we prepare for our 3rd, I wish i could remember advice from our second, but I'm going to have to think about it. Somethings will be easier (I was perfectly happy to start formula supplementation with my second, where as I agonized with my first about pumping obsessively - I'm just more relaxed) and other things harder (not as enough hands when I'm trying to get out the door). be gentle with yourself, and don't be afraid to reevaluate how things are going periodically (b/c they change so fast, and it's trial and error for most of us to figure out what works for our own family). But don't let one bad day drive you to a major decision. I tried to give things at least a week before changing direction (i.e. even for little things like who should do drop-off in the morning, as well as big things like deciding to let go a competent nanny who wasn't a good fit for us on many levels, etc.)ReplyDelete
I also think some small time savers are huge - for me it was two sets of all the tubing etc. That way I could wash one set in the dishwasher while i was at work, and then use it the next day. The first time, I was everything every day. It was totally worth the 40Bucks to have 2 sets the second time around. another example was letting go of needing to get diapers at costco. The dollars I saved was not worth the gas and time and coordination to go further from home, and having to go to multiple stores on a regular basis made me crazy. One giant and reasonable price supermarket near my house has everything.
Doc 2 Be: That's an incredible story. I'm glad you're happy with your choices :)ReplyDelete
mom of two: Since it sounds like you're going to be having another one soon, I'll let you in on one of *my* secrets: Amazon Mom has cheaper diapers and wipes than Costco and they get delivered to your house free in 2 days!
- mom of two and docSeptember 1, 2011 at 3:31 PM
Thanks! I'm so psyched to try it out. Hope your transition back to work goes smoothly and easily.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 1, 2011 at 3:55 PM
Sleep when you can.ReplyDelete
Don't stress if your house is not magazine cover worthy.
As long as there is clean underwear in the drawers, laundry can wait.
Dishwashers are great if you remember to put dish soap in it and turn it on.
Oh did I mention sleep!
Huge dry erase calendar in the kitchen with everyone's schedule on it keeps your memory cells from being overloaded.
Always eat breakfast!
Communicate with the hubby that you need help!
Don't feel guilty about taking a day off work to go to the school play or just to hang out with your kids.
Exercise when you can with the kids, they make great weights when they are little...now mine are bigger than me! Yikes.
Keep your spiritual life at the top of the list of priorities.
Talk to other working moms...sharing war stories and laughing has an amazing ability to energize you.
Make your schedule as simple as possible...your kids don't need special art classes at the age of 2! Yes, I know someone who did this.
Before you walk in the door after work...take a deep breath and say...work is done and now I am mom and I am going to hug and kiss everyone!
This a timely post for me as well. Preggo for the second time and super worried about 1. not having enough time for my daughter 2. not having enough time for new baby 3. not having enough time for marriage 4. pumping, yuck 5. oh yeah, do I also have a career? 6. everything else that already gets done half assed as it is.ReplyDelete
I will channel the above commentary/support and try to remember it will be ok. And I think that bears repeating. It will be ok. It will be ok. It will be ok.
- Susie.AnesthSeptember 7, 2011 at 5:07 AM
Such a timely post for me too. I am still struggling to settle into a routine with my older son(3 yr) and my two week old daughter. Besides the post partum blues, I go into crying spells just thinking of the day I will go back to work. It always broke my heart to leave back my son, now I'll have two to think of all the time. Here in India, we hardly have the option of working part time.ReplyDelete
But as rightly said in the previous posts, we can do it ! we have done it once !
Maybe that makes us what we are. MIM.

With the U.S. economy so precariously positioned as a result of the sequester and Europe still on the rocks, investors have no choice but to look at the rest of the world to get satisfying returns for taking on a decent amount of risk.
Therefore Adam Koos, founder of Libertas Wealth Management based in Dublin, Ohio, doesn't give his clients the choice when it comes to international investing. The world is large, he says, and there are plenty of opportunities to choose from, particularly if one assesses, as Koos does, the plethora of international investment choices on a relative strength basis.
"I like to look at it as an arm wrestling match that compares all asset classes, domestic as well as international, for momentum," Koos (left) said. "Whichever four asset classes are in the top four categories based on that comparison, those are the ones I go with."
Right now, international equity is in third position (domestic equity is at the top of the list), based on Koos' own ranking system that compares his four asset classes chosen for their relative strength to each other, as per the number of "buy" signals they each generate. He then slices and dices his international section further, based again on relative strength of different markets and asset classes, before selecting which international ETFs to invest in.
ETFs are Koos' chosen method of investing internationally. Though there are myriad ways to buy international stocks, ETFs offer the best options for investors, he says. Not only are there dozens of different ETF options on the market—many of which are niche products that allow investors to take advantage of a very specific segment of a particular country's industry—but ETF investors don't need to worry about trading volumes like investors who buy individual stocks, he said.
Koos also feels that many individual emerging market stocks are too pricey right now, so it makes better sense to buy an ETF, and since ETFs are based on a diversified index of underlying stocks, investors who buy them don't need to be as well versed in the ins and outs of the politics and economics of different countries, he said.
Nevertheless, one has to be keyed into what's going on in the world in order to maximize the ETF potential, and Koos uses technicals rather than fundamentals to decide where he thinks it's best to invest.
Within the emerging markets, he likes the technicals of countries including the Philippines, Mexico, Malaysia, Peru and South Korea.
"They're all smaller than Brazil, Russia, India and China," he said, "and while I don't think the BRICs are going to go away anytime soon, they have reached a plateau stage where they'll be at before they start to make money again. But these other countries are quickly emerging from being frontier-market nations to being the next Chinas."
Koos also has his eye on Turkey, a country he feels presents a lot of opportunity. However, Turkey is just too pricey right now, he says, as it has been extremely overbought, so he will be waiting for a market correction before zeroing in on Turkey.

Five Hope College graduating seniors or recent graduates have received recognition through the prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship program of the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Seniors James Bour of Kalamazoo and Andreana Rosnik of Shelby Township have each received honorable mention through the program.
In addition, 2012 Hope graduates Elena Caruthers and John Patrick Lutz each received fellowships, and 2012 Hope graduate Hilary Bultman received honorable mention. Lutz had received honorable mention last year as a Hope senior.
It is the sixth year in a row that multiple graduating seniors or recent alumni have received fellowships or honorable mention in the program. The NSF awarded 2,000 of the fellowships nationwide this year, and recognized another 1,809 students with honorable mention.
The awards are for students in the early stage of pursuing a research-based master's or doctoral degree in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines. The fellowships are for up to three years, and pay a $30,000 annual stipend and a $10,500 cost-of-education allowance.
Bour is a chemistry major who plans to conduct graduate work at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in chemistry (chemical catalysis). While at Hope, he has been conducting collaborative research with Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, who is an assistant professor of chemistry and Towsley Research Scholar. He is the son of Dr. James Bour of Kalamazoo, and a 2009 graduate of Hackett Catholic Central High School.
Rosnik is majoring in chemistry and mathematics, and plans to conduct graduate work at the University of California-Berkeley in chemistry (chemical theory, models and computational methods). While at Hope, she has been conducting collaborative research with Dr. William Polik, who is the Edward and Elizabeth Hofma Professor of Chemistry. She is the daughter of Andrew and Philomena Rosnik of Shelby Township, and a 2009 graduate of Notre Dame Preparatory.

The Caring Pregnancy Resource Center of Northeast Colorado recently concluded a whirlwind series of fundraising banquets held in Yuma, Holyoke and Brush during the month of January where communities came out to support the center's mission of encouraging communities to embrace healthy lifestyles and relationships.
The finale event enticed many to make their way to the Morgan County Fairgrounds in Brush during a snowy Monday evening on January 28 where nationally known speaker, WAIT (Why Am I Tempted) program trainer and love and relationship educator Shelly Donahue served as keynote speaker, delving into topics from teen abstinence and relationships to family support and setting boundaries, during an eye-opening and educational program.
"When dealing with ways in which to teach children to manage their sexual self-control," noted Donahue, "I ask parents to think of a triangle. On one side we need to teach kids why they should wait and that includes six aspects or reasons including physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, spiritually and financially," continued Donahue, "because sex affects the whole person and the pocketbook."
"Teen sex is pricy and it will cost you in every bit of your life," Donahue reiterated. "However love is priceless. We need to teach our kids to love by loving them."
On the other leg of the triangle of self-control, Donahue promotes ways in which kids can manage their emotions and manage their dating relationships. At the bottom of the triangle is ways to give support for abstinence by sharing family values and providing models.
"I think all in all the communities in Northeast Colorado are very supportive of the center," said Caring Pregnancy Resource Center Executive Director Jan Loesch as the series of fundraisers came to a conclusion in Brush. "They want what is best for their kids, and they want the kids to know the truth about what they are facing."
"I think a lot of parents are not aware of what kids face and when Shelly or I present," continued Loesch. "It becomes a real eye opener."
Loesch, who consistently makes her way to area middle and high schools during educational and candid discussions with youth on everything from relationships, sex and abstinence to STDs during WAIT training, also has her pulse on the new day and age in which kids now live, saying, "We can no longer have our kids be haphazard in their sexual relationships. They have to ask the hard questions first. Nor can we awesome that just because we've grown up with someone we know them," she continued. "We should still have our children ask the hard questions."
During the Brush banquet it was noted that the Center, which has a home in Brush at 214 Cameron Street, served a diverse clientele of 72 men and women with only four being minors. The center's clients gave birth to 25 babies including four sets of twins in 2012.
Each adult who came into the Center received a minimum of one hour of face-to-face counseling at no charge and the Center played an active part in educating youth regarding sexually transmitted diseases, informing students that there are over 19 million new STD infections reported every year and half occur in people between the ages of 15 and 25.
In 2012 the Center performed a week of WAIT training, a public school curriculum with a focus on abstinence and healthy relationships, to students in three counties, four high schools, four middle schools totaling 2,751 students.
The Center also reports having had a positive effect on teens and their relationship choices, with Morgan County alone experiencing a 38 percent reduction in teen pregnancies.
The Center also offers P.A.C.E (Post Abortion Counseling Education), an 11-week Bible Study that aids women in the healing process of post abortion trauma. According to the Center, many women have reported that education regarding post abortion trauma was never offered to them in the course of their decision.
The winter fundraisers have annually generated a great portion of the Center's proceeds, aiding in their educational mission. If you or someone you know would like more information on services offered at the Caring Pregnancy Resource Center, call them at 842-4324, or log onto their webpage at http://neco-cpc.org.

I had planned to wrap up my Tallahassee report this week, but I�ve had so many requests to mention things in my column that I�m doing that instead.
I had planned to wrap up my Tallahassee report this week, but I�ve had so many requests to mention things in my column that I�m doing that instead.
Elsewhere in Showcase today is a story about NWFSC Reads 2013, which starts today, with a listing of events.
A teacher at the college sent this by email: �I hope you�ll be able to put in a word for Julianna Baggott�s reading at NWFSC. Her novel, �Pure,� is in production with Fox 2000, soon to be a major motion picture. The novel was on New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2012.
�I�ve been teaching it this semester here at the college, and students love it. � any plug you can give would be great. People in this town trust your taste.�
Well, I don�t know about that, but after researching Baggott and her books, I definitely want to read them and attend her appearance, which is April 15.
Harriet Gifford asked me to put out the word that the ladies of the Sugar Beach Chorus, a local a cappella singing group, are looking for a new director.
If you are interested in helping them out yourself or know someone else who would be, send an email to email@example.com.
I posted a schedule on my Facebook page for a Viva Florida 500 television special, and a friend asked me to mention it here as well.
According to the schedule, which came from the Viva Florida 500 Facebook page, the show will air on WJHG of Panama City at 1 p.m. April 13, at 4:30 p.m. April 14 on WEAR and at 1 p.m. April 21 on WFGX, both of Pensacola.
I�ve received two requests now to let you know about free train rides offered the second Saturday of each month, which is this Saturday, on the Veterans Memorial Railroad in Bristol.
Bristol is between here and Tallahassee, but closer to Tallahassee, and is in the Eastern time zone. Hours for the rides are 11 a.m.-3 p.m. EST.
The train goes 1.3 miles around the Veterans Memorial Park at 10561 N.W. Theo Jacobs Way and across a trestle bridge. The park also has pavilions, a playground and a walking trail.
You may call 643-6646 or 643-5491, or visit the website VeteransMemorialRailroad.org for more details.
The press release says this is a non-profit organization, and donations are appreciated.
I�m going to sneak in one Division of Cultural Affairs item.
Maureen McKloski is the division�s accessibility coordinator. The division has partnered with VSA Florida, the state organization on arts and disability, to offer a series of webinars about access to arts.
The webinars are held on the fourth Wednesday of every month through June at noon Eastern time, which would be 11 a.m. our time.
The first one in March was on how to plan a successful visit for patrons with hearing impairments. Unfortunately, I didn�t receive the information in time to share.
The one this month, however, is April 24. The topic is �How to Plan a Successful Visit for Patrons with Sight Impairments.�
Coming May 22 is �Planning a Successful Visit for Patrons with Wheelchair and Mobility Issues.�
And, on June 26, there is �Training Your Staff: Do�s and Don�t�s.�
To get the registration links and information from previous �Successfully Accessible� webinars, visit: http://www.florida-arts.org/news/story.cfm?id=193.
Other webinars on how to apply for 2014-2015 grants are scheduled for April 22 and May 23. Find details on the same website as above.

INTELLIGENT GROWTH necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 21 diseños de 6 diseñadores freelance.
We are a distributor of electronic and microwave components, electro-mechanical devices, and bar code equipment.
We are targeting engineers and component buyers, in industrial and medical industries. The graphic illustrates the advantages of our customer-focused sales team, over a traditional "organizational silo."
In the "Traditional Organization Silo" approach, the customer is faced with the complex task of dealing with 4 separate departments:
• Sales
• Quotations & Sourcing
• Order Processing
• Expediting
Our approach integrates these four departments into dedicated teams, serving each client and simplifying the process.
As an engineering firm, we are looking for a clean, engineering-style diagram, that clearly conveys our team structure. The following link is a sketch of what we are looking for:
The idea is to give the diagram a three dimensional look using shading and reflection. I imagine the 4 silos to have a glassy, transparent look. Feel free to explore color schemes. If you decide to use multiple colors on the 4 silos, please make sure each individual silo is one color.
While the final design should essentially be structured like the sketch, we would like to see your creative input when it comes to labeling the diagram. That is as creative as you can get, while still maintaining a professional engineering look. Now we're talking challenge. :o)
So, the basic criteria:
1. designed and delivered as vector art
2. clean, engineering look
3. when labeling the diagram, consider that the final art will be displayed on our website at a size of about 400-500 pixels wide, so the text needs to read clearly

I-O-T : INTERNET Of THINGS / Internet des Objets - Tag - sharing - Comments The concept of the "Internet Of Things" is federating more and more people every day. This Blog is a sharing space for those interested to participate this major breakthrough. Le concept d'Internet des Objets intéresse désormais bon nombre de nos contemporains. Travaillant sur le sujet depuis la fin des années 90 et auteur d'un livre référence sur le sujet, j'ai créé ce blog pour permettre un échange prospectif qui va au delà des réflexions basées sur les seules technologies sensorielles (RFID, NFC, GPS, etc...) et leur déclinaisons actuelles (M2M, etc.). 2020-03-08T17:27:04+01:00 Philippe Gautier urn:md5:14466 Dotclear Governance in the Internet of Things - pgautier urn:md5:88c239a2bcee8e21b8186fb46c545221 2009-02-09T11:14:35+01:00 pgautier
Are human bodies still control what happens ?
 Considering the current crisis, I'm not sure...

 That's the point : we put in place many different information systems; all connected together, but shaped in a wrong way.
 Methods of conception are still deterministic, process-based according to approaches and concepts that have been raised during the industrial era.
 We therefore created a wide Information complex system (to address the "information era") with an inadequate basement.
 See also : www.volle.com (in French).
 Wrong tools for new challenges/stakes : The output is the current chaos.
 As long as we will not change our approaches, we will experiment such tremendous adjustments : what we are experiencing today is a reducing of the gap between "reality and virtuality".
 Entering in the "Information era" with no more similar accidents means "changing" the way we organize, conceive, develop, etc.
 Regarding previous experiences (and particularily "discrepancy between complexity / goals"), I do agree with you but the point is "what methods to use".
 From that point of view, standards are definitely not the solution : One size does not fits all and intelligent objects should be capable to be auto-referenced since thay can auto-organize.
 Best regards,
 Philippe

Actually, this looks interesting, but may not be desirable. Do you really want to put uncontrolled intelligence in systems and allow them to share many things without human bodies controlling what happens ?

For your information, actually IIRC water is much less (and not more) than H2+1/2 O2, it is (only) the residual product of the combustion of hydrogen. So the energy is gone, and it is (arguably) the most important component.

Another view from my experience : back in 1996-1998, "autonomous" or "intelligent" agents were hype. Using the precursor of SOA (Corba), software entities would be able to migrate themselves instead of sending messages. But all the initiatives (including standardisation in FIPA) failed because of the discrepancy between the complexity and the goals.

This news was from Friday... Robert Downey Jr. is rumored to be in final talks to play the Vampire Lestat in a reboot of "The Vampire Chronicles" by Anne Rice. This had the web abuzz late last week. Since I have no attachment to the stories and have a man-crush on Downey, I'll pretty much be watching this no matter how it turns out.
NBC to adapt "Midnight Mass" comic into a TV series. The story follows a globetrotting couple who solve mysteries and "crimes of the supernatural".
Robert Rodriguez produced "Predators" (directed by Nimrod Antal) will officially begin shooting in September. The story centers on a group of people stuck on the Predator's homeland, which as you can guess doesn't go very well.
New "Zombieland" poster. Saw this trailer again this weekend in front of "District 9". Still looks fun.

A central task for historians and philosophers of science is to characterize and analyze the epistemic practices in a given science. The epistemic practice of a science includes its explanatory goals as well as the methods used to achieve these goals. This dissertation addresses the epistemic practices in gene expression research spanning the mid-twentieth century to the twenty-first century. The critical evaluation of the standard historical narratives of the molecular life sciences clarifies certain philosophical problems with respect to reduction, emergence, and representation, and offers new ways with which to think about the development of scientific research and the nature …

I've done some basic 1 D integration, but i can't wrap my head around things and apply it to my graph layout. So, consider the picture below:
- if i drag the red node to the right, i'm forcing his position to my mouse position
- the other nodes will "follow" him, but how ?
For Verlet, to compute the newPosition, i need the acceleration for every node and the currentPosition. That is what i don't understand.
How to i compute the acceleration and the currentPosition ?
The currentPosition will be the position of the RedNode ? If yes, doesn't that means that they will all overlap ?

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Late night television legend David Letterman will retire in 2015.
Letterman announced his plan during a taping of "The Late Show" on Thursday afternoon. CBS is expected to issue a statement sometime before the program is broadcast Thursday night.
A CBS spokesman declined to comment. Letterman's announcement initially leaked out when a performer, Mike Mills, who was at the taping of "The Late Show" tweeted out the news. "Dave just announced his retirement," Mills wrote.
What exactly Letterman says about his decision on "The Late Show" is not yet known.
The announcement comes just weeks after Letterman's longtime rival, Jay Leno, retired from the NBC "Tonight Show." Leno was replaced by Jimmy Fallon.
Last fall, Letterman extended his contract through 2015; news reports at the time said he gave no indication that it would be his last contract.
Letterman has hosted "The Late Show" since 1993.

Volunteer Opportunities
Voluntary work is a good way to learn new skills, gain work experience and get involved in your local community.
You may do some unpaid work as a volunteer and keep your social welfare payment. If you want to do voluntary work, you must first get permission from a Deciding Officer at your Social Welfare Local Office. You must continue to satisfy the conditions of your jobseeker's payment. You must apply under the voluntary work option before you start any voluntary work.
To apply, fill in application form (VW1), which is available from your Social Welfare Local Office.
Volunteering and Your CV
The value of the experience of volunteering and what it brings to your CV is a great reason to volunteer. As a way of getting a start on a particular career path, volunteering is a great way to get experience. It often becomes a foot in the door into the sector and it will most certainly help those interested to gain specific knowledge and understanding of a given organisation. People often gain paid employment as a result of volunteering.
Another big advantage of volunteering is skill set – volunteering strengthens your skill set and equips you for the world of work – people skills; communication skills; team building skills; practical skills - all can be developed by volunteering.
Finding Voluntary Work
Many organisations are dependant on the commitment of Volunteers to sustain their services. In particular, within the community and voluntary sector volunteering is about giving, contributing, and helping other individuals and the community at large. Over 63,000 full-time and part-time staff are employed in the community and voluntary sector, but it might be a surprise to learn that volunteers provide the equivalent work of a further 31,000 people!
So, if you have a particular interest in a charity or organiation you can contact them to see if they recruit Volunteers. Also, there are agencies that have lists of Volunteer opportunities on their websites including:
Volunteer Ireland
This is the National Volunteer Development Agency and a support body for over 20 Volunteer Centres in Ireland.
