The Mayo Clinic Diet is a long-term weight management program created by a team of weight-loss experts at Mayo Clinic. The Mayo Clinic Diet is designed to help you reshape your lifestyle by adopting healthy new habits and breaking unhealthy old ones. The goal is to make simple, pleasurable changes that will result in a healthy weight that you can maintain for the rest of your life.
The purpose of the Mayo Clinic Diet is to help you lose excess weight and to find a way of eating that you can sustain for a lifetime. It focuses on changing your daily routine by adding and breaking habits that can make a difference in your weight, such as eating more fruits and vegetables, not eating while you watch TV and moving your body for 30 minutes a day.
The Mayo Clinic Diet also stresses key components of behavior change, such as finding your inner motivation to lose weight, setting achievable goals and handling setbacks.
Why you might follow the Mayo Clinic Diet
You might choose to follow the Mayo Clinic Diet because you:
Check with your doctor or health care provider before starting any weight-loss diet, especially if you have any health conditions.
The Mayo Clinic Diet is the official diet developed by Mayo Clinic, based on research and clinical experience. It focuses on eating healthy foods that taste great and increasing physical activity. It emphasizes that the best way to keep weight off for good is to change your lifestyle and adopt new health habits. This diet can be tailored to your own individual needs and health history — it isn't a one-size-fits-all approach.
The Mayo Clinic Diet has two main parts:
Follow the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid
The Mayo Clinic Diet doesn't require you to be precise about counting calories or grams of fat. Instead, the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid serves as a guide to making smart eating choices. The main message is simple: Eat most of your food from the groups at the base of the pyramid and less from the top — and move more.
Eat healthy foods and portions
The base of the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid focuses on generous amounts of healthy foods that contain a smaller number of calories in a large volume of food, particularly fruits and vegetables.
This principle involves eating low-energy-dense foods and can help you lose weight by feeling full on fewer calories. Healthy choices in each of the other food groups in moderate amounts make up the rest of the pyramid — including whole-grain carbohydrates, lean sources of protein such as legumes, fish and low-fat dairy, and heart-healthy unsaturated fats.
The Mayo Clinic Diet teaches you how to estimate portion sizes and plan meals. The diet doesn't require you to eliminate any foods.
Increase your physical activity
The Mayo Clinic Diet provides practical and realistic ideas for including more physical activity and exercise throughout your day — as well as finding a plan that works for you. The diet recommends getting at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and even more exercise for further health benefits and weight loss. The diet also emphasizes moving more throughout the day, such as taking the stairs instead of an elevator.
If you've been inactive or you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor or health care provider before starting a new physical activity program. Most people can begin with five- or 10-minute activity sessions and increase the time gradually.
Typical menu for the Mayo Clinic Diet
The Mayo Clinic Diet provides several calorie levels. Here's a look at a typical daily meal plan at the 1,200-calorie-a-day level:
You can have sweets — as long as you limit them to 75 calories a day. For practicality, consider thinking of your sweets calories over the course of a week. Have low-fat frozen yogurt or dark chocolate on Monday, and then hold off on any more sweets for a few days.
Weight loss
The Mayo Clinic Diet is designed to help you lose up to 6 to 10 pounds (2.7 to 4.5 kilograms) during the initial two-week phase. After that, you transition into the second phase, where you continue to lose 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kilogram) a week until you reach your goal weight. By continuing the lifelong habits that you've learned, you can then maintain your goal weight for the rest of your life.
Most people can lose weight on almost any diet plan that restricts calories — at least in the short term. The goal of the Mayo Clinic Diet is to help you keep weight off permanently by making smarter food choices, learning how to manage setbacks and changing your lifestyle.
Other health benefits
In general, losing weight by following a healthy, nutritious diet — such as the Mayo Clinic Diet — can reduce your risk of weight-related health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. If you already have any of these conditions, they may be improved dramatically if you lose weight, regardless of the diet plan you follow.
In addition, the healthy habits and kinds of foods recommended on the Mayo Clinic Diet — including lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, beans, fish and healthy fats — can further reduce your risk of certain health conditions. The Mayo Clinic Diet is meant to be positive, active, sustainable and enjoyable, so you can enjoy a happier, healthier life over the long term.
The Mayo Clinic Diet is generally safe for most adults. It does encourage unlimited amounts of vegetables and fruits. For most people, eating lots of fruits and vegetables is a good thing. However, if you aren't used to this, you may experience minor, temporary changes in digestion as your body adjusts to this new way of eating.
Also, the natural sugar in fruit does affect your carbohydrate intake — especially if you eat a lot of fruit. This may temporarily raise your blood sugar or certain blood fats. However, this effect is lessened if you are losing weight. If you have diabetes or any other health conditions or concerns, work with your doctor to adjust the Mayo Clinic Diet for your situation. For example, people with diabetes should aim for more vegetables than fruits, if possible. It's a good idea to snack on vegetables, rather than snacking only on fruit.

Minimalist Hood & Island from MK
Who: MK, Italian kitchen design
What We Noticed: I don't think of myself as a minimalist, but this hood and sleek wood island with integrated cooktop literally stopped me in my tracks at EuroCucina. In context it felt serene and quiet, unfussy and very functional. The white almost blends in to the ceiling, and the woods keeps it feeling warm. Nothing here is trying too hard.

Peoria man who alleges jail abuse gets $95,000
PEKIN, Ill. (AP) — A Peoria man who says he was mistreated at the Tazewell County Jail will receive $95,000 under an out-of-court settlement.
The Pekin Daily Times reports (http://bit.ly/ZBp7IS ) the county board approved the payout Wednesday to settle a lawsuit filed by Everett Lewis.
The 47-year-old Lewis alleges he was abused by corrections officers and denied medical treatment while he was an inmate in 2009.
His attorney, Rodney Nordstrum, says the officers dealing with the disruptive inmate knew he was bipolar.
Tazewell County Sheriff Robert Huston says the case had no merit but that the settlement cost the county less than the legal fees to go to trial.
County Board member John Ackerman voted against the settlement, saying it set a bad precedent to acknowledge wrongdoing while contending no policies were violated.

Eisenmenger syndrome
Eisenmenger syndrome is a condition that affects blood flow from the heart to the lungs in some babies who have structural problems of the heart.
Alternative Names
Eisenmenger complex; Eisenmenger disease; Eisenmenger reaction; Eisenmenger physiology
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Eisenmenger syndrome is caused by a defect in the heart. Most often, babies with this condition are born with a hole between the two pumping chambers -- the left and right ventricles -- of the heart (
Other heart defects that can lead to Eisenmenger syndrome include:
- Atrioventricular canal defect
Atrial septal defect Cyanotic heart disease Patent ductus arteriosus
- Truncus arteriosus
Over time, increased blood flow can damage the small blood vessels in the lungs. This causes high blood pressure in the lungs. As a result, the blood backs up and does not go to the lungs to pick up oxygen. Instead, the blood goes from the right side to the left side of the heart, allowing oxygen-poor blood to travel to the rest of the body.
Eisenmenger syndrome usually develops before a child reaches puberty. However, it also can develop in young adulthood.
- Bluish lips, fingers, toes, and skin (cyanosis)
- Chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- Dizziness
- Fainting
- Feeling tired
- Shortness of breath
- Stroke
- Swelling in the joints caused by too much uric acid (gout)
Signs and tests
The doctor will examine the child. During the exam, the doctor may find:
- Abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
- Enlarged ends of the fingersor toes (clubbing)
- Heart murmur (an extra sound when listening to the heart)
The doctor will diagnose Eisenmenger syndrome by looking at the patient's history of heart problems. Tests may include:
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Chest x-ray
- MRI scan of the heart
- Putting a thin tube in an artery to view the heart and blood vessels and measure pressures (cardiac catheterization)
- Test of the electrical activity in the heart (electrocardiogram)
- Ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram)
The number of cases of this condition in the United States has dropped because doctors are now able to diagnose and correct the defect sooner, before the irreversible damage to the small lung arteries occurs.
Older children with symptoms may have blood removed from the body (phlebotomy) to reduce the number of red blood cells, and then receive fluids to replace the lost blood (volume replacement).
Children may receive oxygen, although it is unclear whether it helps to prevent the disease from getting worse. Children with very severe symptoms may need a heart-lung transplant.
Support Groups
Expectations (prognosis)
How well the infant or child does depends on whether another medical condition is present, and the age at which high blood pressure develops in the lungs. Patients with this condition can live 20 to 50 years.
- Bleeding (hemorrhage) in the brain
- Congestive heart failure
- Gout
- Heart attack
Hyperviscosity(sludging of the blood because it is too thick with blood cells)
- Infection (abscess) in the brain
- Kidney failure
- Poor blood flow to the brain
- Stroke
- Sudden death
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if your infant develops symptoms of Eisenmenger syndrome.
PreventionSurgery as early as possible to correct the heart defect can prevent Eisenmenger syndrome.

A heroic mother and grandmother rescued two children from a stranger who was trying to throw the kids in front of a moving train.
The family was waiting at an NJ Transit station, where the children had moved closer to the tracks to get a better look at their approaching train. A man walked up to the curious kids and grabbed one child by the neck and the other by shoulder, leading them even closer to the tracks and then attempting to push them in front of the train.

Wigan goalkeeper Chris Kirkland will be given until the last possible moment to prove his fitness ahead of the Barclays Premier League clash at Stoke.
Kirkland is a strong doubt after sustaining a recurrence of a back spasm in the first half of last week's defeat to Birmingham. Mike Pollitt and Richard Kingson are on standby to deputise.
Manager Roberto Martinez is forced into one definite change as Hendry Thomas serves a one-match ban, with Jordi Gomez the player most likely to step into the breach.
Meanwhile, Martinez is determined to meet head on outspoken chairman Dave Whelan's stated aim for this season.
Whelan seemingly piled the pressure on Martinez earlier this week by expressing his hope the team "can pick up a few points before Christmas and sail into the new year looking for a top-10 finish".
The team's inability to string two wins together all season has so far proved their undoing and a major cause of frustration for Martinez, whose team sit 14th at present.
But he believes Whelan's ambition is achievable, even though Wigan have only once finished in the top 10 in their four seasons in the top flight, and that in their debut campaign in 2005-06.
"There are many aims during a season, and at the moment we are where I expected us to be," remarked Martinez.
"But I see it (Whelan's comment) as a positive. When we play well this season, and when we do the right things, we can beat anyone.
"We're exciting to watch, we create many chances, and so there's a hope if we can get rid of the inconsistency then we will be top 10.
"That's how the Premier League is because if you look at the top seven or eight, you feel that's where they will finish by the end of the season.
"But the other positions are open and up for grabs, so I see it as a positive challenge, and it is achievable."
Striker James Beattie will be included in Stoke's squad if he passes a late fitness test despite his alleged bust-up with manager Tony Pulis last weekend.
Beattie missed training on Wednesday and Thursday after reporting a problem with his knee.
Centre-back Ryan Shawcross is fit again after missing the defeat at Arsenal with a groin injury while midfielder Dean Whitehead returns after suspension.
Pulis admits the unpredictability of Wigan makes his job even more difficult ahead of their visit to the Britannia Stadium.
So far in Martinez's maiden season as a Barclays Premier League manager his team have ended Chelsea's 100% record and been beaten 9-1 by Tottenham.
They have yet to win back-to-back matches in the league and so, after last week's defeat against Birmingham, Pulis is wary of the Latics.
"Wigan are a very unpredictable team who can be very good or be average at times," the Stoke boss told Press Association Sport.
"That is a massive problem for us. You look at them one week and they are absolutely outstanding and the next the glue seems to be missing.
"We don't know how they are going to turn up on Saturday.
"But we've only lost to Manchester United and Chelsea at the Britannia this season and long may that continue."
Despite Wigan's problems with consistency, Pulis has backed Martinez to stabilise the club.
"I think Roberto is a smashing lad, a real gentleman. He did really well at Swansea but this is a different test at a different level," he said.
"It throws up different challenges but I'm sure he is good enough and he is an intelligent lad so is clever enough to get through it."
In the wake of the alleged dressing-room bust-up with striker James Beattie - who will feature in the squad if he passes a fitness test on a knee problem - Pulis has stressed it has been business as usual for him.
"I've done nothing else but watch games. I went to two games this week, trained Monday, Tuesday, Friday so it's been a normal week for me," he said.

PHOENIX (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt homered twice, had a career-high six RBIs and set a team record with five runs scored, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks down the Los Angeles Dodgers 18-7 on Saturday night.
The Diamondbacks hired Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa as chief baseball officer before the game and beat up on Clayton Kershaw (2-1) once it started, scoring seven runs in the second inning off the two-time Cy Young Award winner.
The Dodgers came storming back with a five-run sixth to pull within 9-7, but Arizona kept hitting to set a team record for runs.
Goldschmidt hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning, added a two-run shot in the eighth and had two doubles to finish 4 for 5.
Arizona hit five homers and had 21 hits, including a team-record 13 for extra-bases to emphatically end a seven-game home losing streak to the Dodgers.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Giancarlo Stanton homered and tripled to lead Miami past San Francisco.
Tom Koehler (4-3) struck out seven in seven innings to finally win in five tries away from South Florida after coming into his outing 0-3 on the road to start the year. He allowed four hits and walked two in his first road victory since Sept. 22 at Washington.
Garrett Jones hit an RBI triple, Jarrod Saltalamacchia had a sacrifice fly and Adeiny Hechavarria singled in a run for Miami. The Marlins improved to 11-2 at AT&T Park since 2011.
Tim Lincecum (3-3), coming off his best start of the year with an 11-strikeout performance in a season-high 7 2-3 innings to beat Atlanta on Monday, never found his groove.
DENVER (AP) — Seth Smith homered against his former team early and Carlos Quentin added a two-run, pinch-hit home run as San Diego hung on to beat Colorado.
San Diego staked Robbie Erlin (3-4) to a 6-1 lead by roughing up previously unbeaten Jordan Lyles (5-1), who walked a career-high six batters in a season-low 3 1-3 inning outing.
The Rockies got an early home run from Troy Tulowitzki and chipped away at the Padres' lead, pulling to within a run on Carlos Gonzalez's two-run double in the sixth inning.
Quentin rebuilt the cushion in the seventh, following Yasmani Grandal's two-out single with a drive off reliever Chris Martin that sailed into the left field bleachers for his first home run of the season.
Huston Street, also a former Rockie, got three outs for his 13th save in as many opportunities.
CHICAGO (AP) — Edwin Jackson struck out 11 in seven innings and Welington Castillo hit a two-run double to lead Chicago to victory.
Starlin Castro also added an RBI double for the last-place Cubs, who won just for the third time in 13 games.
Jackson (3-3) had his best outing for the Cubs since signing a four-year, $52 million deal before the 2013 season, allowing four hits and walking one.
Hector Rondon pitched a perfect ninth for his fourth save in four opportunities.
Milwaukee starter Matt Garza (2-4) was tagged for three runs on four hits. The former Cub had his second straight start that he allowed three runs in the first inning.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rookie Kolten Wong keyed the St. Louis offense and Shelby Miller pitched his strongest outing of the season.
Wong scored on Yadier Molina's sacrifice fly just beyond the infield to tie it in the fourth. He bunted for a hit and drew a wild throw in St. Louis' go-ahead, two-run rally off Aaron Harang (4-4) in the sixth.
The Cardinals matched their season high with their fourth straight win.
Miller (6-2) allowed a run and five hits in seven innings, matching his season best with seven strikeouts, including B.J. Upton three times.
Trevor Rosenthal fanned two in the ninth inning, with Upton striking out a fourth time, to earn his 13th save in 14 chances.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez was ejected in the fifth inning for arguing a call that led to a bunt double play. He could face a fine for charging out of the dugout a second time.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cole Hamels threw seven sharp innings to earn his 100th career win and Domonic Brown had a career-best five RBIs as Philadelphia ended a four-game losing streak.
Cody Asche broke Philadelphia's 23-inning scoreless streak with a two-run double that sparked a six-run fourth. Cesar Hernandez capped the scoring with his first career homer.
Hamels (1-2) gave up one run on three hits, striking out 10 on 90 pitches.
Hamels was stuck on 99 wins since last Sept. 14. He improved to 9-0 against the Reds, including the postseason. The Phillies are 12-0 when Hamels starts vs. Cincinnati.
Homer Bailey (3-3) gave up six runs and seven hits in 3 2-3 innings.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Juan Lagares drove in three runs with a homer and a single, and Bartolo Colon allowed five hits in eight innings as New York ended a three-game losing streak.
Lagares came in 5 for 27 in his past 11 games. He singled in a run during a three-run first and homered with one on and one out in the third to give New York a 5-0 lead.
The Mets' outfielder added a defensive gem, robbing Jayson Werth of a home run with a leaping catch against the wall in center.
Colon (3-5) won for the first time in 10 tries against Washington.
Gio Gonzalez (3-4) took the loss.

Mental health experts say a new tougher New York state gun control law might interfere with treatment of potentially dangerous people and even discourage them from seeking help.
The law would require therapists, doctors, nurses and social workers to tell government authorities if they believe a patient is likely to harm himself or others. That could lead to revoking the patient's gun permit and seizing any guns. (source)
New laws tend to have unintended consequences worse than the conditions or situations they are intended to remedy. The hysteria over the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre has such strange bedfellows as the NRA and some of the most liberal Democrats calling for psychological or psychiatric evaluations of potential gun owners.
Question: Does the state have enough of an interest to require a breach of the privacy normally holding between a patient and his clinician making the state an invisible presence in the conference room?
Question: Might more mayhem be prevented by letting clinicians do their job rather than imposing requirements on them.?
Question: Might imposing a reporting requirement on clinicians expose them to homicidal danger once the client realizes that his counselor has breached the shell of confidentiality holding between them?
Question: Given the ambiguities holding between what clients talk about and what they might actually do might a reporting requirement expose clinicians to needless criminal and civil sanctions if their best guess turns out to be wrong and a client they thought safe did something horrendous? The point is, it's a lot easier to judge how dangerous a patient was in retrospect and hold a clinician responsible.

It was intended, after all, to constrain politicians. So of course many of them won't like it.
I assume you mean that they won't like the idea of changing it.
They would sell us all out (and the Bill of Rights) to get a few votes and stay in office, they will do whatever will take them to that end. They will do the expedient thing and not care if it was the right thing to do, all they want is to have their comfy job, even if it sinks the ship. They'll try, if enough short sighted people push it.
Our legislators shouldn't be paid as much as they are, turning their work into public service not self-service. They should be forbidden for a long number of years from serving in any corporation they may have had in their purview (e.g., a bank if they are on a committee that influences legislation regarding banks). Ditto for lobbying.
The cushy healthcare they and their families are entitled should be withdrawn. How can they understand the ordeal healthcare is for most of us if they don't have to wrestle with it themselves. I can almost guarantee that if they did, we'd have a national healthcare program in short order.
No, I mean the politicians don't really like the bill of rights. It doesn't allow them to do everything that they'd like to do. (In particular they are good at ignoring the ninth and tenth amendments.)
I WANT (stomps his feet) A P90 (stomp,stomp,stomp) I WANT A P90 and I want it NOW!!! (stomps off into the distance........
The only P90 I know is a kind of guitar pickup. I gather you mean something more deadly.
Good grief what on earth for?! Unless something has changed in the last decade or so, Ruger semiautomatics SUCK.
(On the other hand you may have been thinking of the FN P90, on which I have no opinion.)
Fair enough.
It doesn't excite me all that much, but I recognize some things are a matter of taste. (E.g., I don't love Glocks but I do own a couple and I recognize they work well... but they are butt ugly and feel cheap to me even though I know damn well they aren't. I won't condemn someone for owning one but I don't love them myself.)
I carry a Glock 26 Gen4 because I can shoot it well and being proficient with a carry is (I think) a necessity so I shoot targets a lot. The G26 is just a functional tool nothing more.
The Ruger 22/45 Ultra Lite I have is more of the "love" thing, the first handgun I ever shot was a Ruger Marksman (my Dad's gun), maybe nostalgia is a better word then love.

Santorum emphasizes conservative values at Hudson rally -- videos attached
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum visited the Hudson Golf Club Friday and emphasized the need for a conservative candidate to challenge President Barack Obama in the November election. Santorum also painted his Republican challenger Mitt Romney as a "moderate."
"Every time a moderate Republican has run against an incumbent Democrat president, the Republican has lost," Santorum said. He compared himself to a conservative Ronald Reagan, who defeated incumbent Democrat Jimmy Carter in 1980.
"Don't compromise your principles to satisfy the pundits," Santorum said. "Stand up for what is right. In polls we are ahead of Obama in most swing states."
He said voters need a "contrast" and called Obama and Romney "Twiddle Dum and Twiddle Dee."
He called this falls presidential election the most important election in his lifetime.
"I've worked hard every day, perseverance" Santorum said. "I can reach those independents and some Democrats. We may not get the high income Republicans, but I can get support from the blue collar sector."
He highlighted a number of issue on which he disagrees with the president, and I some case, Romney.
Among them were Obama health care, the size of government, cap and trade (including energy policies), radical Islam, economy, national security, gas prices, etc. He noted a recent Obama gaff where he was speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Thinking the microphone was off, Obama made a remark to Putin about addressing a national security issue "after the election."
"I've always been for limited government and on the side of the consumer," Santorum said. "Obama and Romney are not on that side. The Constitution and Declaration of Independence limit the powers of Washington, D.C."
He said Obama has made the constitution to be "whatever President Obama wants it."
Santorum said the presidential race is not over,
"It's a long, long way from over -- don't believe the pundits," Santorum said. "We have won something like 900 counties around the country; Romney has won 300.
"You have an opportunity to do a very, very big thing. You can reset the race in Wisconsin. I can win with vision and perseverance - that's what we need to defeat Barack Obama. You can send a clear signal to the rest of the county.
"Go out and do all you can in the next few days to help this race. It boils down to a clear choice. We don't want to be the generation to drop the torch of freedom."
About 200 people gathered at the Santorum rally at the Hudson Golf Course. He spoke for about 25 minutes. He was accompanied by his wife Karen and two of his seven children, John and Sarah Maria.
The event began with a prayer and the audience participating in the Pledge of Allegiance. At the end of the presentation, a young lady fainted in the front row, but appeared to be fine within a matter of minutes.
Santorum is one of the six candidates on the Republican presidential preference ballot in the Wisconsin April 3 election. Santorum is expected to battle fellow Republican Mitt Romney for the top spot in the state.
Santorum served as a United States Senator representing Pennsylvania from 1995 to 2007. He was born in Virginia, but was raised primarily in Butler, Penn. He obtained an undergraduate degree from Pennsylvania State University, an M.B.A. from the University of Pittsburgh, and a J.D. from the Dickinson School of Law.
Santorum was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on behalf of Pennsylvania's 18th congressional district in 1990. He was elected as a United States Senator for Pennsylvania in 1994 and served there until losing his re-election bid in 2006.

Silky zabaglione, warm from cooking but also imbued with deep heat from the wine, cloaks the vanilla-scented fruit with a heady richness. Though it's normally made with Marsala, this more subtle version gives the season's first apricots a chance to shine.
- Yield
- Makes 6 servings
- Active Time
- 25 min
- Total Time
- 2 hours
- For apricots
- 1/2 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 (4- by 1-inch) strips fresh lemon zest
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 pounds firm-ripe fresh apricots, halved lengthwise and pitted
- For zabaglione
- 3 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine (preferably Swiss)
- Poach apricots:
- Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into a 2-quart saucepan, then add pod, water, sugar, zest, and salt. Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat, then boil 1 minute.
- Carefully add apricots, then reduce heat and poach at a bare simmer, turning over once, until fruit is tender but still holds its shape and skins are still intact, 2 to 6 minutes. Transfer apricots and syrup to a large shallow bowl and cool to room temperature, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Make zabaglione:
- Beat together yolks, sugar, and wine in a deep 4-quart metal bowl with a handheld electric mixer at medium speed or whisk vigorously until combined well.
- Set bowl over a 4-quart pot of barely simmering water and beat mixture until tripled in volume, 5 to 6 minutes.
- To serve:
- Spoon 2 or 3 apricot halves into each of 6 glasses and top with zabaglione. Serve immediately.
Cooks' notes
·The eggs in this recipe will not be fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area.
·Apricots can be poached 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.

I agree, it's season 2!
For those that quitted before episode 7 i suppose i can understand it, but episode 3-7 are just side stories and not so interesting, it gets awesome from episode 8 to 14.
Anyways stop saying that alfheim was 2nd season. It was two seperate arcs yes, but it was all one season.
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.
i can't wait!
very angery at crunchyroll
I agree that there won't be much romance between Asuna and Kirito, because, they've already married in-game, shown love and compassion, sacrificed themselves for the sake of their love. In the conclusion of the ALO arc(or season 2, regardless on whether you agree or disagree), there was that "magic happy ending" and it seems like their relationship is pretty much set on a good track.
Unless many people would be into a number of boring episodes of them hugging each other, romancing and fantasizing about their life together(because let's face it, they can only show PG-13 stuff on the tele), the author will most definitely find a new focus for the series.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
And he did. Just wanted to bring this up because unless there's a lot of action in the anime, chances are it will not be popular and earn the studio money, which is the ultimate goal for every studio.. unless Bill Gates would donate some $$ to some anime charity fund, which will never happen, unfortunately. :(
If (when) they announce season 2 of SAO, A-1 seriously needs to take a moment and plot out pacing and overall flow. SAO's pacing felt like a caffeine-addled child jumping around place.

I just don't think they knew how to plot out all the side stories for the Aincrad arc in a way that would make complete sense while still keeping them in the anime. it kinda suffered because of it. I don't think they even needed to include them, really. it would've given them more room to properly develop the story, instead of making it feel as rushed as it was.

it hasnt been announced yet, people are just assuming. Well considering how popular it was, they will most likely continue with the next arc some time soon.
If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick.
A profitable series does not always guarantee a continuation of a series. I've seen anime that looks like it should never have been made much less get a second season. That aside, if profitability guaranteed a continuation then we'd see a Haruhi season 3, We'd have a continuation of Lucky Star instead of a spin-off that I'm still looking forward to. Usagi Drop is another, but people who know the series would like to see it stop where it is before the story gets weird later.
24-26 episodes is considered one season and 12-13 a half season. In what I've seen in long running anime like bleach, a story arc dictates when a season begins/ends. Then again in Bleach's case they made two or more seasons out of long arcs.
Ok, first of all it's season 2, although it's the third arc, so yeah anyway, I am looking forward to Gun Gale Online, is it gonna be like call of duty or something? I hope the simulcast is sometime I can catch it becase I want to watch it ASAP

I don't mind Sword Art Online. It's pretty good if you don't pick at every little detail of the anime. I'm pretty excited to watch the next season whenever it comes out!

Sigh. This infographic has been popping up in friends' Facebook feeds constantly over the past several days. And while it's visually lovely (ooh! a rainbow!), the picture it paints ain't pretty.
Plus: Keeping Your Finances in Check While on Leave
Using statistics from NationMaster.com, a reporter at ThinkProgress.org compared how the U.S. stacks up against other countries around the globe when it comes to paid maternity leave benefits. Not that the sorry state of (the lack of) maternity benefits in the U.S. is necessarily news to any of you who have had a baby while employed, but the infographic shows in an instant just how hard new moms in the U.S. have it. For example, women in the U.S. are offered 12 weeks of unpaid leave via the Family and Medical Leave Act (but companies with fewer than 50 paid employees are exempt), making the U.S. one of just THREE countries out of 178 that don't offer paid maternity leave (and you can forget about paid paternity leave in the U.S., which is offered by more than 50 of the countries included). Pretty crappy when compared to countries like Canada and Norway that offer 50 and 44 weeks of leave, respectively, which can be shared between parents.
Plus: How to Deal When Work Intrudes on Maternity Leave
To get by in the postpartum weeks and months, many women in the U.S. end up combining short-term disability, sick leave, vacation days, personal days, and unpaid family leave, or whichever combination of those is available to them.

Mark: Hey, Michael, I don't know about you, but I'm far more comfortable predicting the Oscar nominees than picking the winners. Reason No. 1: Predicting the winners becomes a combination of making ridiculous apples-kumquats comparisons (was Adrien Brody more effective as a Holocaust sufferer than Nicolas Cage was as a neurotic screenwriter and his dopey identical-twin brother?) and gauging insider politics (is it Scorsese's turn?) rather than appreciating great artistry on its own merits. Reason No. 2: I'm generally way more accurate with the nominees than the winners, and my ego can't stand the strain.
Yet I can't deny it: I care about this stuff. My connection to music is at least as emotionally deep as to film, yet I've never given a hoot about the Grammys. The Oscars are something else: Never mind that my favorite films usually go unrewarded; I'd be watching every minute even if I weren't professionally compelled to do so. And I like guessing the winners, even in the categories where I haven't seen the entries, like animated short subject. In part I enjoy trying to tap into the mind-set that is Hollywood, even though the "community" is far less monolithic than it's portrayed. But mostly . . . dunno . . . it's the Oscars -- and nothing else is.
MIKE: Hmmmm . . . I wouldn't worry too much about enjoying the Oscars or agonize over whether insider politics is triumphing over great artistry. In the first case, almost everybody likes the show on some level -- whether it's for the glamor, the suspense, the music the sense of hobnobbing with stars or even just because they enjoy complaining about them afterward.
In the second case, it's futile to worry whether politics trumps artistry. There are great movies that win ("Lawrence of Arabia," "Casablanca"), great films that lose ("Dr. Strangelove," "Pulp Fiction") and great movies that weren't nominated ("Some Like It Hot," "Singin' in the Rain," "Vertigo"). Ditto for the other categories. History -- and movie lovers -- always even the scores afterward.
And of course it's more fun picking the nominations. If you're guessing six nomination categories and miss four, you're a genius. If you're guessing the Oscar winners, and miss four, you're an idiot. And there are so many information sources and Web sites now, it's easier than ever to make a good guess. I'm with you on being hooked on the show, though. It's like a mad crush that won't go away. You don't care if the Oscars lie or cheat or take your money -- or if they're just a sham. You just want to get to the party and walk in with them, grinning like a fool, like everyone else. The Oscars are also, lest we forget, the only night of the year when artists and works of art (at least on some level) make the most important news in the world. That's a big improvement on a lot of what we've been seeing and hearing lately.
Mark: Amen on that last point, but for the record, I, like you, missed just three of the 30 nominees in the top six categories this year. So why we're currently setting ourselves up for public ridicule is anyone's guess.
And now let's just admit the real reason we watch: fashion tips.
Best supporting actor
MIKE: Have you ever seen somebody as far ahead with Oscar guessers as Chris Cooper (in "Adaptation") this year? Playing that frowsy, gap-toothed, charmingly psycho orchid thief John La Roche, he seems to have blown away all the competition in the middle of the battle. I didn't talk to one Oscar expert who wasn't sure he is going to win. He's the Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods of acting this year, miles ahead of the pack. And it's strange in a way, because Cooper isn't an actor who's ever played Hollywood games, and it's a role you wouldn't normally associate with him: a full-blooded roaring comic scenery-chewer (with no teeth).
Still, I'm a little bewildered nobody takes Ed Harris seriously here, even though he's playing a dying flamboyant poet and he's due. John C. Reilly was really busy this year, but chalk up his song-and-dance nomination to sheer "Chicago" power. Paul Newman ("Road to Perdition") and Christopher Walken ("Catch Me If You Can"), the ones who seem closest to Cooper, may suffer from the fact that they're so good all the time, these performances don't necessarily stand out -- as Cooper's does for him.
So should we just call it a day on this category and hand it to Coop?
MARK: I guess so. There's usually one upset in the supporting categories, though, so let's try to make the case against Cooper. (1) Harris has never won and has a more impressive track record than Cooper, so he gets the overdue-recognition vote. (2) Walken won the BAFTA supporting actor award and would make a fine so-good-to-see-you-after-all-these-years story. (3) Academy members don't necessarily love "Adaptation," yet at this point it's positioned to win Oscars for supporting actress (Meryl Streep), supporting actor plus adapted screenplay, which may be too much -- so our boy Chris could take the fall. Do I buy it? Um . . . I don't think so. Cooper's performance is a whole mess o' fun. But I reserve the right to change my mind before this exchange is over. Is your confidence shaken?
MIKE: Not really. Harris is the case where I think your arguments are most convincing. But for some reason, people seem cool to this role and performance: with its heights of grief and pain, its horrific makeup. Maybe it's too dicey, too troubling, too obviously a sympathy grab. Harris doesn't seem to compute for all the people I talked to; they don't even see him as the runner-up. (That position goes to Walken.) As for my feelings on your Meryl S. theory -- and she's one of my all-time favorites -- check out the supporting actress chatter below. Cooper seems to have all the ducks in a row for this one. I really think he's unbeatable.
MARK: Oh, well. I thought maybe I could nudge you off of Cooper so I'd have him to myself, but, alas, we are, as Fred Durst would say, "in agreeance." Cooper it is.
Best supporting actress
MARK: The supporting categories can be the most surprising, and the biggest shock would be if Queen Latifah aced out her more prominent "Chicago" co-star Catherine Zeta-Jones. Don't count on it. Kathy Bates ("About Schmidt") also is a long shot, and although the trend used to be for double-nominated performers to win in the supporting category, my gut says if Julianne Moore is going to be recognized, it won't be for "The Hours." The showdown appears to be between Zeta-Jones' high-kicking performance and Streep's portrayal of magazine writer Susan Orlean's virtual counterpart in "Adaptation."
Streep is a record-breaking 13-time nominee who hasn't actually won an Oscar in 20 years, was also admired for her performance in "The Hours," and in "Adaptation" we finally get to see her in a swamp with a gun. Zeta-Jones has been most visible during the "campaign" period suing a British magazine over wedding photos and shilling for a cell phone company. My guess is the academy opts for class and Streep. And you?
MIKE: Finally, we disagree on something! Streep is a very good guess. But my guess is the academy goes not for class but for sass -- and for pizazz, razzmatazz, all that jazz and Zeta-Jones. If "Chicago" is the big front-runner lots of people seem to think, it ought to be able to carry one actor to an award. (After all, it's a performance movie.) And Zeta-Jones is a better bet than Renee Zellweger or Reilly.
Furthermore, though I agree with your reasoning that an offbeat show like "Adaptation" shouldn't be a triple front-runner, I think that argument works more against Streep than Cooper. After all, people can say to themselves: "We don't have to worry; she'll get nominated again; she always gets nominated."Zeta-Jones has something else going for her: that ineffable "babe" factor. Remember Geena Davis, Marisa Tomei, Mira Sorvino, Juliette Binoche, even maybe Judi Dench (a babe in her day). Looks and sex appeal seem to count in this category, perhaps because the (mostly male) voters see it as a sure stepping-stone to stardom and enjoy anointing somebody -- or perhaps because they just like recognizing beauty. That means they won't care about miscues, tabloid chatter and bad behavior. You know who I wish had a better shot here? Kathy Bates. Now, there's a babe!
MARK: Judi Dench??? Oh, I forgot about the hot tub scene in "Shakespeare in Love." But you're right in noting the academy's tendency to honor up-and-coming hotties in this category; you also could've mentioned Jennifer Connelly and Angelina Jolie. But the academy doesn't need to confer stardom on Zeta-Jones; she's already flaunting the lavish lifestyle. And Streep is at an age when great roles are tough to come by, so I don't think that next nomination can be taken for granted. Of course, people may very well prefer CZJ's razzle-dazzle to Meryl's pollen-sniffing, gun-toting author, but I still say there'll be more movie biz types who want to honor Streep's great, durable career than want to give Zeta-Jones something else to blab about on her cell phone between selling family celebration pictures to magazines.
MIKE: Re. Dench: I was referring to her great nude Titania in Peter Hall's 1968 "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Anyway, I'd buy your reasoning except for two things. One: Streep will get cast in good roles in good movies for the rest of her life. Maybe she won't be considered for the "Road Trips" and "Daredevils" or the rest of what studio execs think should be major product. But people will be lining around the block to give her prize parts until she keels over -- on the theory that she'll get an Oscar or Oscar nomination and make them look good.
As for Zeta-Jones, I think you may be overestimating the effect her follies or current privileged status may have on Hollywoodites. Do you think they care? In 10 years in L.A., I heard bad stories about almost everybody. (Well, maybe not Dench. She was too far away.) I don't think people vote on lifestyles -- unless it's an extreme case, like Roman Polanski. And I think Zeta-Jones knocked them out in "Chicago."
Best actress
MIKE: This one's interesting. Nicole Kidman, as Virginia Woolf in "The Hours," is a heavy favorite for a lot of reasons. She's a beauty who turned herself into a wallflower for her art, she missed out last year for "Moulin Rouge!" and she has that tremendous depot scene with Stephen Dillane. Furthermore, she still has all the sympathy that was going for her last year after her tabloid troubles. She's the legitimate favorite.
Who else? We can probably forget about Julianne Moore for "Far From Heaven" (which critics appreciated more than the academy) and Salma Hayek (even though she's another beauty who dressed down to play a legend). Renee Zellweger has a shot, though most of the acting votes for "Chicago" will probably go to Zeta-Jones. If there's going to be a big upset anywhere, it may be Diane Lane in this category -- because she's pretty unforgettable in "Unfaithful," really vulnerable and torrid.
Back to Kidman. If she wins, and she probably will, it's because she's built up so much credit. If she loses, it may be because voters decided her role was really a large supporting gig. But that's not likely. Kidman is still a golden girl awaiting coronation here.
MARK: Someone I talked to this week was wondering whether Kidman is this year's Sissy Spacek ("In the Bedroom"), a presumed front-runner with a supporting actress' amount of screen time who is ripe to be upset. Kidman, after all, worked just three weeks on "The Hours," and next year she'll be seen in Anthony Minghella's Oscar-bait movie "Cold Mountain" as well as Lars Von Trier's "Dogville" and Robert Benton's "The Human Stain," so the academy will have another chance to anoint her.
But I don't see a Halle Berry in the field. At first I thought Lane had a chance, but now I'd put her in the happy-to-be-invited category because that movie seems forgotten. I think the widely respected Moore has the best shot at an upset, but her double nomination could wind up splitting her support. So the Year of Nicole it is -- and she is the heart of "The Hours," disappearing into her role in ways that go beyond that fake schnoz.
MIKE: Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? I think Diane Lane may be closer to an upset than anyone realizes. But let's wrap it up for that tall, brainy Aussie with those wicked eyes and that boundless talent -- and prepare to get egg on our faces if Diane or Julianne break through. We won't be alone.
MARK: Nicole wins -- and if she doesn't, I guarantee you we'll be writing those same two words next year.
Best actor
MARK: Let's start with a quick process of elimination. Nicolas Cage ("Adaptation"): No. Michael Caine ("The Quiet American"): No. The wild card here is Adrien Brody ("The Pianist"), the only nominee of the bunch who hasn't previously won an Oscar. He lost lots of weight for the role -- the academy likes actors who suffer for their craft -- and voters could pick him as their way of recognizing "The Pianist" without directly rewarding a convicted statutory rapist (i.e. director Polanski). Plus, you know, he's quite good, though in a low-key way.
The academy tends to respond to showier performances, and Daniel Day-Lewis acts like his loins are on fire in "Gangs of New York." Then there's Jack (is a last name even necessary?) convincing us he's an old man and not an overgrown bad boy in "About Schmidt." The common assumption is one of those last two will win. I'm on the fence. How 'bout you?
MIKE: I'm on the fence, too, but leaning toward Jack -- because the Scorsese award and technical stuff may be all the voters want to give to "Gangs of New York." And remember one thing about Jack: how much people in Hollywood love this guy. He's like Bill Clinton, their favorite bad boy, their fantasy pal. Warren Schmidt is a well-written part and "About Schmidt" a very good movie, and Jack carries us on a real emotional ride, affecting, funny and disturbing, without ever using most of his old tricks and temper tantrums. Day-Lewis is more explosive and stunning as Bill the Butcher. But that's a part that could be seen as a big supporting role (in that category, he would have been unbeatable, even against Cooper), while Jack carries "Schmidt."
Now, the spoiler. If Brody is a wild card, he's a very strong one. Think of his great part: Wladyslaw Szpilman, the Polish musician on the run, the bourgeois artist who is reduced to a shivering fugitive, witness to the Holocaust. It's a more difficult role, and more impressive in some ways than his competition. Brody, I bet, has a huge sympathy factor going for him; he could be stronger than anyone realizes right now. Yet sadly, even if I love "The Pianist," I'm not picking it for any major categories -- though it could shock us all and win three (film, director and actor). I'm with Jack for the moment. What do you think?
MARK: Jack is a beloved American icon. Daniel Day-Lewis is an odd Brit who badmouths his profession. Jack has one name. Daniel Day-Lewis has three. Yet you and I supposedly are in competition here, so if you're going with Jack, I'll reluctantly align myself with Mr. Day-Lewis and console myself that his "Gangs" bluster is just the kind of performance that wins Oscars. And then we can both smile sheepishly when Adrien Brody accepts the award.
MIKE: I said I was leaning toward Jack. Actually, Day-Lewis has the momentum right now, and there's always Jack's three previous Oscars to consider. There's also one clear parallel with an older contest here: 1991, when Anthony Hopkins won for "Silence of the Lambs" by giving what was essentially a smaller but blow-away killer-villain performance in a year when almost everyone had consigned the award to Nick Nolte for "The Prince of Tides." Day-Lewis' Bill the Butcher could be this year's Hannibal Lecter, and the voters could wait to give Jack his fourth later. As for Adrien Brody -- who may be the really smart pick -- I've actually heard that Jack is voting for him. I think it's pretty damned close. But as you say, this is a competition. Go, Jack.
Best director
MARK: This is the race that annoys me the most. "Chicago" is being talked up as the heavy best-picture favorite, yet almost no one gives its director, first-timer Rob Marshall, much of a shot. Why? Because Martin Scorsese didn't win when nominated for "Raging Bull" and "GoodFellas" (or "The Last Temptation of Christ" and he wasn't even nominated for "Taxi Driver"), so it's his turn to receive the Al Pacino/"Scent of a Woman" Makeup Oscar -- even though the widespread feeling is "Gangs of New York" has zero chance to win best picture and is a subpar work for him. (I know you liked it a lot more than I did.)
If "The Pianist" gets its due, Roman Polanski could have a shot, but he's a statutory rapist fugitive, so an Oscar to him would send the wrong message. Can't these films be judged on their merits? Doesn't the best directing job almost always result in the best movie? And if the voters really think "Chicago" is so great, shouldn't Marshall be the front-runner? (I thought it felt stage-bound, but no matter . . . )
MIKE: Poor Marty Scorsese! He gets short-changed for years at the Oscars because voters thought "Taxi Driver" was too perverse, "Raging Bull" too foul-mouthed and arty, "The Last Temptation of Christ" too controversial and "GoodFellas" too violent -- and now, when he's got his best shot politically, people complain that he shouldn't get a makeup Oscar and that, anyway, "Gangs of New York" isn't as good as "Taxi Driver," "Raging Bull," "Temptation" or "GoodFellas"! Can't we cut this guy a break? He's the best we have. We should be glad that he's a heavy Oscar favorite -- and, if he gets beat for "Gangs," which is a possibility, then people will complain that the next movie that gets him a nomination isn't as good as "Gangs of New York." Some filmmakers are just too on the edge for an easy Oscar. Like Hitchcock, Cassavetes or Kubrick. Or Scorsese.
Anyway, he's the top dog and Roman Polanski, fugitive and all, is probably the runner-up, with Stephen Daldry ("The Hours") coming in third. Polanski, by the way, would get my personal vote, much as I love Scorsese. But if the complaints about this being a makeup Oscar and the no-Oscars-for-bad-guys factors both kick in, Daldry may get it. And the fact that Marshall doesn't seem to be as well-regarded as his own movie says something about the movie.
Finally, there's a long, honorable tradition of makeup Oscars: Bette Davis for "Dangerous," Katharine Hepburn for "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," John Wayne for "True Grit" and -- the one everyone always mentions -- Al Pacino for "Scent of a Woman." You know something: Al deserved the Oscar that year ('92) -- except he deserved it for "Glengarry Glen Ross." In the end, there's nothing wrong with trying to right a longtime injustice. (Consider the alternative: letting the injustice stand forever.) As for Marty, let's be happy the academy may honor a moviemaker who's a real artist -- even if a lot of voters may feel just the way you do.
MARK: I think the fallacy is that Martin Scorsese needs to be validated by an Oscar. Like Hitchcock and Kubrick, his movies won't be remembered any less fondly because he wasn't awarded a little golden guy at a televised industry party. Is his legacy really enhanced if he wins a charity Oscar at the expense of someone else's superior work? Fortunately for him, I don't see a young Scorsese in this group of nominees, so I can't get too indignant if he wins. And I think he will.
P.S. You're right about Pacino; he was much better in "Glengarry Glen Ross." But John Wayne in "True Grit" shouldn't have beaten Dustin Hoffman in "Midnight Cowboy."
MIKE: A good comparison. But I'm glad they both got Oscars -- Hoffman got two -- and that Wayne wasn't shut out like Chaplin, Grant, Deborah Kerr and Peter Sellers. Being validated by an Oscar may be a fallacy in the long view of movie history -- I'd agree with you on that -- but it's obviously what Scorsese wants. And who can blame him? Even so, we're not really talking about Scorsese's legacy here, or his feelings. We're talking about the validity of a competitive directorial award that's gone to Norman Taurog, Frank Lloyd, John G. Avildsen, Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner, but not to Hitchcock, Welles, Kubrick, Cassavetes, Lubitsch, Lang, Griffith, Chaplin, Hawks, Altman, Renoir and the guy we both think is one of the modern greats, Scorsese. Every one of those other directors was beaten, sometimes again and again, in competition -- mostly because they didn't make the right type of movie for an Oscar profile. And though some of them got career Oscars later (as Scorsese will if he fails again), it probably rankled them too.
Best picture
MIKE: Picking the best movie winner this year sets up a real heart-vs.-head conflict for me. "Chicago," supposedly the runaway favorite, is a movie that just doesn't mean much to me. I like its razzmatazz and the dark tinge to the comedy; the actors were all pretty good in unexpected ways -- and, of course, it's a terrific show to begin with. But after the lights went up, I still wished Bob Fosse had directed it instead of Rob Marshall. On the other hand, "The Pianist" is a movie I really love: I've never seen a better Holocaust movie drama ("Schindler's List" included) and it's, no question, the capstone of Roman Polanski's career. Unfortunately, that's the problem: Polanski, his past and those warrants in L.A.
The only other picture with a shot is "The Hours" -- a classy women's movie that may not have enough extra English on the ball to win here. As for the other two, "Gangs of New York" is just not liked by many people, and the voters will probably wait to give "Lord of the Rings" and Peter Jackson their due next year. So we're back to "Chicago," the bigger moneymaker of the top two, one really enjoyed by a much bigger public, a musical that will help revive the whole genre -- and a movie, I've heard, really loved by older academy voters.
But here's the catch: "Chicago" has everything going for it, but -- even forgetting the way Holocaust films have always dominated the documentary awards -- Oscars were invented to give to movies such as "The Pianist."
I talked to two Hollywood insiders recently -- a major studio head and an Oscar-winning director -- and they both picked "The Pianist." But you can't go with your heart on this stuff. You'd go broke. What do you think?
MARK: I think you and your sources are right in that what initially was perceived to be a "Chicago"-vs.-"The Hours" battle has become a "Chicago"-vs.-"The Pianist" showdown. "The Pianist" just seems to be the serious movie of choice now, and, for good or bad, it's certainly in the headlines, with Polanski's rape victim making the rounds offering her forgiveness (score one for "The Pianist") as well as sordid rape details (subtract that point and then some).
All that said, I still don't think it's much of a contest. "Chicago" has broad support, hence those 13 nominations and box-office grosses approaching $100 million.
The academy has shown its appreciation of Holocaust-themed films, but "The Pianist" may be too small (commercially, at least) and may carry too much baggage. I'd vote for "The Pianist" over "Chicago," but "Chicago" allows people to be both cheerful and cynical without making them think much, and that mixture seems to fit the country's mood. My pick: "Chicago."
MIKE: My pick too -- though I was hoping you'd talk up "The Pianist." In this case, I think the academy may be letting extraneous factors dominate the discussion.
It doesn't (or shouldn't) matter whether Polanski has a bad side or whether giving the top prize to someone wanted for statutory rape and flight would make the town look bad. If the movie were directed by almost anybody else, I suspect it might be a shoo-in. (A hint: One of my L.A. contacts swears a secret deal is in the works right now to settle his legal problems and bring him back. That's been denied officially, but we'll see.)
However, though I'm not keen on "Chicago," I think it's popular among movie people for more than the cheery cynicism of the moment. I think academy voters really admire the way it works, the sheer professional sheen and electricity. I think they dig the music, the cutting and the color -- and the high-stepping socko panache of a number like "Cell Block Tango." To many of them, it marks the possible return of something they love: show biz. Anyway, "Chicago" it is.
MARK: Yes, "Chicago" appeals for all of those reasons you articulated, and we can't underestimate the entertainment folks' desire to celebrate the official comeback of the musical. I don't even think Polanski is the deciding factor; people admire "The Pianist" and enjoy "Chicago" -- and enjoyment is the more desired commodity right now.
MIKE: Mark, face it, it always is.

Vibrant Dentistry will host it's 2nd Annual Dentistry From The Heart providing the first 100 people who register before 1:00pm with free dental care on Friday, February 15th, 2013.

In less than 3 months, Ella will be 3!! At 2 3/4, Ella is still a sweet and sensitive girl. Her favorite things to do are play with her Squinkies, dance around the play room to her Brave music, do crafts like coloring and painting, play outside, and run around the dining room table over and over with her shopping cart or baby doll stroller. She loves to count things. She loves to help me bake, set the table, or help out with other chores. She also loves going to Target, Whole Foods, the library, and music class. If I let her, which I don't, she would probably watch TV all day long. Her favorite shows are Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Super Why, Doc McStuffins, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I let her watch one or two shows a day. She usually picks Daniel Tiger. Ella is an extremely picky eater, but her favorite foods are Larabars (she eats 1-2 a day), blueberries, dried cranberries and nuts like cashews and pistachios, Annie's Gluten Free Macaroni and Cheese, Amy's Lentil Soup, Dr. Praeger's Gluten Free fish sticks, and mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, lima beans, and green beans).
Some things I would like to remember:
She refers to snowballs as cotton balls.
She says, "Santa says, "Ho Ho Ho." Charlie Brown says, "Good Grief." Grandpa says, "Oh boy!"
She says "Kiss hugs."
When she runs out of the bath to give me hugs, she says, "Snacks my buns, Mommy! Snacks my buns!"
When I am driving, she notices the stoplights and will say when we should stop or go.
When I am carrying things down the stairs or chopping veggies for dinner, she will tell me to be careful.
She always asks if she can "escersize" with us.
When she is feeling mischievous, she will call her Daddy "Dave" because she knows it bothers him.:)
She says her name is Ella and Big Girl.
Our weeks right now typically look like this:
Monday: Grandpa comes over in the morning to play.
Tuesday: Music class and lately we have been having lunch at Whole Foods afterwards.
Wednesday: stay home or go to the library for Story Time or just to check out books
Thursday: stay home or run any errands
Friday: grocery shopping
Weekends: I usually work so Ella and Dave spend QT time together. We usually try to get out of the house as a family before or after I work though.
We do Montessori activities, sensory activities, and art throughout the week when we aren't playing or doing chores. We no longer watch the neighbor kids as the little girl was very rough with Ella and extremely rude to both me and Ella. She even hit Ella over the head with a toy golf club and left a bruise. Now that we don't watch them, Ella tells me she is glad we don't go over there any more. This morning actually, Ella saw boxing on ESPN that her Daddy was watching. She said they weren't being nice to each other like Evie isn't nice to her. It was funny to hear her compare the neighbor to a boxer, but in her eyes (and mine too) they are pretty similar!
It's hard to believe that 2 is almost over! I love seeing Ella grow and her personality emerge even more, but of course I am sad to see her become more girl and less toddler every day.

(Preparing for) Architectural Studies
Program Description
The 90 credit Associate in Arts transfer degree is designed to meet the general education requirements at Washington State four-year institutions and prepare students for entrance into baccalaureate programs. Architecture programs require specific courses in the first two years of study that are not offered at community colleges; therefore, depending on the transfer destination, it may be advisable to transfer before completing the AA-DTA degree. To practice as a licensed architect, students will need to complete an accredited graduate degree in architecture.
Architectural Studies — What is it?
From houses, hospitals, schools and bridges to museums and skyscrapers, architects plan and design buildings and structures. Landscape architecture is a specialization of architectural studies focusing on outdoor, open spaces to design gardens, parks and natural settings. Working directly with clients, engineers and contractors, architects develop ideas, estimate costs and plan designs for construction. In addition, architects work closely with city and local government to remain in compliance with government laws, regulations and building codes.
Areas of Study in Architectural Studies:
Two and Three Dimensional Design, Drawing, Architectural History, Architectural Theory, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Aided Design, Computer Graphics, Public Policy, Building Codes, Government Regulations, Estimating, Building Materials, Project Management and Professional Ethics.
Career Opportunities — What can I do with a Bachelor's Degree in Architectural Studies?
Students who graduate with a bachelor's degree in Architectural Studies can apply for entry level positions and must work directly under the supervision of a licensed architect. A graduate level degree in Architecture and a three-year internship are required for professional licensure.
Potential employers include:
Private Architectural Firms, Engineering Companies, Colleges and Universities, Government Agencies, Consulting Firms, Real Estate Developers, City Councils, Urban Planning Councils, Construction Companies, Historical Societies, and Self-Employment. For more, please visit Career Counseling.
Transfer Possibilities — Where can I transfer?
An Associate Degree from Shoreline makes it possible for students to transfer to public and private colleges and universities throughout the U.S. with junior standing. Shoreline also has agreements with several universities to make transferring even easier. For transfer within Washington State, we offer a special degree called the AA-DTA. For international students, Shoreline also has conditional admission agreements that allow a student to be simultaneously accepted by Shoreline and a university of the student's choosing.

Event Saturday raises money, awareness, to support Relay for Life
Team Optimism will host Shopping for Hope, a fundraising event for Relay for Life, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Lyons Baptist Church.
The day will feature vendors offering a variety of products, including the latest creations from local crafters, wholesome fresh baked items, and door prize drawings every 30 minutes. Survivors are invited for tea and scones and a special gift bag.
A kids' corner will be set up with games, crafts, coloring books and crayons, said event planner Brandi Anderson.
"We'll have some things to keep children busy while their moms and dads shop," said Anderson.
There is still one spot available for a vendor. Contact Anderson at 616-325-3439 to register.
All bake sale proceeds and vendor registration fees will be donated to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life of Ionia. General donations also will be accepted. For anyone who wants to start a team, join a team, or volunteer for the ACS Relay for Life, information will be available.
"My hope is to make this an annual event, to raise money and also to get information about Relay for Life out into the community," Anderson said. "If people want to join a team, or start a new team, that would be great."
Lyons Baptist Church is located at 507 Hunt St. For more information, contact Anderson by phone or email her at email@example.com.
