'Mad Men' recap: Please pass the St. Joseph's aspirin
Special K,
There's a ton to cover, but I have to go with what's hitting me in the guts after Sunday's episode. Is it me or is young Sally just a wee bit more tolerant of her mother, now that her dad has let her down so terribly? As Sally says, "My father has never given me anything" — which, of course, isn't entirely true. I mean, thanks to Don's dough, Sally's at least enjoyed a materially comfortable life. Imagine if the Drapers were broke and COULDN'T afford therapy!
Still, despondent teendom affects most kids, and Sally's still coping with her father's smashed pedestal; so how bittersweet was it to watch her have a smoke with Betty? Dear god let Sally continue to make her own way and not be a Stepford Betty clone, but, I sort of endorse any semi-normal bonding Sally can get from these maniacs. Is that wrong?
-Moody M.
Dear Moody M,
I feel your pain but for different reasons.
I am so sick of Draper. He's such a weaselly, egotistical, small man who is falling, falling, falling. And frankly I can't wait until he hits bottom. I used to think he had some redeeming qualities. But there are none. And don't for a minute try to get us to feel sorry for him — all curled up in the fetal position on the couch in his office? — all he cares about is himself. He's poison, and he knows it, especially to the women around him — Betty (ok, she didn't help); shutting out Megan with the cold shoulder; he's worried Sally's going to rat him out; all his former lovers; and Peggy, who was probably the only true friend he had.
I think the line of the night was "You're a monster.'' Well said, Peggy.
Also-Moody k
Fabulous Ms. K,
I'm with you, completely. I think my heart broke a little when Peggy correctly called Don a monster…althhhhhough, come on, he did save the St. Joseph's meeting with that bizarre-o notion about dead CGC Guy's final idea re: the over-budget "Rosemary's Baby"commercial (which, PS. was probably not released when that dude died, but...). The client was cheesed, and Don uncheesed him. In a scumbaggy way, but still!
Which leads me to this: did you agree with Don when he told Ted, after that meeting, "Your judgment is impaired. You're not thinking with your head." Or do you suppose Don is projecting? Ted and Peggy aren't being super subtle…
Dear M,
Not sure if Don was projecting, but here's my question: Is it better to flirt out in the open and not cheat on your spouse, or was it better the other way when everyone pretended they were professionals and were clandestinely running around and screwing like rabbits?
As far as saving the account — maybe that was the way to save it, but he did it by toying with Peggy and Ted and he knew it. Very, very, mean.
And so I'm back were I started — Don schmon. I'm thinking about how he's going to crash. In a plane? Car accident in the new Vega? Falling off the balcony in a drunken stupor? Opening the elevator door, not realizing the car is broken and falling down the shaft? That happened in "L.A. Law" to a mean lawyer — it was shocking.
And then we have Bob Benson — the new Don Draper. I liked that twist.
Still Moody,
OK, what the hell was with Bob and Pete? The very strange understanding they came to is giving me the creeps. What, to your mind, did they really "agree" to as they join forces to work on Chevy? I'm not convinced Pete will keep Bob's secret identity to himself. PS. How great is it that Bob speaks Spanish?
As for mean old Don, he illustrates just how great Ted is as a businessman. Don uses cheap tricks to save the day; Ted worries about doing bad business with Ocean Spray as the more lucrative Sunkist deal comes together. Ted's thinking about customer service; Don's still trying to sell everyone on Don. Ted calls for better communication in the agency; Don lies his face off.
I'm telling you, get ready for a Peggy-Ted-Joan agency — a supergroup! Like Blind Faith!
And don't forget Harry. I think he should join the new agency too.
Ok, other things that were great about the episode:
Ken gets shot in face with buckshot?
Ken calls the Chevy people "Fat yahoos in cheap suits." He should join the new agency as well.
Sally getting hazed at Miss Porter's School — hilarious. And one girl is wearing a buckskin jacket; fabulous. I so wanted one of those.
Using a scene from "Rosemary's Baby" to sell children's aspirin? No way in hell I'd buy that product.
Megan tells Don "Pull back on the throttle, honey." Again, hilarious.
And Betty trying to be a chatty mum — "Get me a cigarette and give me some details.'' She is an evil woman.
Listen, that's as good as we're going to get with Betty, and Sally still needs some adult supervision, so let's hope for the best. At least she's TRYING to relate to her daughter. And, since Betty's pretty much a perpetual adolescent, she and Sally should have a few years of decent communication, right?
Speaking of Sally, how about formerly creepy Glen making with the gallantry when Rollo, or whatever the hell he called himself, got a little too handsy with young Sal? I hereby forgive him for any and all weirdness. Sally needs a champion. She looked so very young sitting next to that dumb boy. So glad she held her ground and didn't let him take over, despite his claim to Lady Whisperer skills (doubtful; no adolescent boy knows what he's doing when it comes to anything, amIright?).
And yes, I was a little weirded out by the whole "Let's use 'Rosemary's Baby' as a cheeky way to sell aspirin," too. Um, "Rosemary's Baby" is all about weird herbs, devil-babies and tricky pregnancies—If I'm St. Joseph's, I don't want my product meant to heal at ALL associated with a devil-worshipping coven (remember the scene with all the naked, chanting old people? Yeesh.), but hey, what do I know? I also loved the Megan found the movie "terrifying," while Peggy and Ted just laugh it up about the Japanese member of the cult. Poor, sweet Megan. I worry about her, too. If she survives the series with her wits intact, I'll be very pleased indeed. Of course, I'm not too certain that'll happen.
Never thought Glen was creepy. He's a kid. And Rollo, I thought he was kind of cool, in that bad boy sort of way. And he didn't do anything to Sally but sit close and put his arm around her. Glad she put a stop to it, but it was a far cry from "he tired to force me."
Ahh, what I don't miss about the teen years...
Time to move the story along. What is going to happen. I want some closure. Some of these story lines have got to come to an end -- and it feels like it's time. Can't wait to see what happens in the season finale -- it better be good.
Cranky k
Mdme. K,
True, Sally extrapolated, but she shouldn't have had to tell Rollo to lay off more than once. She's a Porter's girl after all!
But I think I know why I'm so quick to judge so many of our heroes: I'm afraid of the closure we're going to get! I find their flaws in an effort to not get too attached.
Perhaps I need to get out more.

Curious to know what you feel they should have done better?Island Nucklehead wrote:The Hawks get full marks for building that 2010 roster, but they absolutely butchered retaining their players. That team had "Dynasty" written all over it. Stan Bowman's handling of the contract situation pretty much highlighted why Scotty is puppet-master. Stan couldn't manage a piss-up in a brewery.
to develop you could see one of the defencemen move soon.
This is off the top of my head but they got stuck with the Hjalmarsson offer sheet the summer they won and had to let Niemi go, and they dealt most of the forwards surrounding the core group for futures which has allowed them to get back to where they were.. the guys they traded all make vastly more than they did in their time with Chicago so it's pretty clear they weren't going to be able to keep them all.
Other than dumping Campbell right away I don't know what else they could have done.

Kazmir Deal has me Dazed and Confused
Steve Nesius / AP
Not sure why last nights often delayed finalization of the eventual announcement of the Rays sending Scott Kazmir to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim effected me so much. like this. We all had a gut reaction that the team finally made a decision based on business and not talent. But why is my head still buzzing with questions and a gut feeling of fan betrayal by my franchise? Why is it I have a silly instinct we do not know all the facts yet, and that the real reasoning will anger me more down the road?
When the Rays traded away Fred McGriff to the Chicago Cubs, or even when my baseball buddy Toby Hall to the Los Angeles Dodgers, it did not get to the pit of my stomach. Maybe this time it is the stark realization that we all knew was coming, someday,some time. But this trade came right out of leftfield for all of us.
Heck, I personally was thinking that maybe in early January the Rays would have to revisit the thought of life without our fireballing leftie, but last night's actions were not completed with ease or grace and it tore through the Rays Republic like a dull knife into a fine steak. Tearing roughly at our hearts and digging deep into our ever swirling thoughts and adverse reasoning for such a move now at this pressure moment in the season.
And the final realization that he was going to play the rest of the season out with an American League division leader and playoff contender seems to throw even more gasoline on the campfire. Logical thinking was missing in the reports and the final conclusion to the trade. Think about this for a second Rays fans. If we do garner an eventual spot in the playoffs, we could face Kazmir wearing that red and white jersey Angels gear as early as mid- October. And if he dominated us that day, I would chalk it all up to instant karma getting some revenge on the Rays front office.
I really still a bit numb and the constant waves from anger to understanding is not helping matters at all right now. The whole trade make-up at this point in the playoff drive is mass confusion to me and it still rolls around in my mind like a clump of tapioca pudding blocking the funnel points within my mind. My current Rays thought process has been reduced to a puddle of odd muck.
Screaming in my mind is the thoughts of "was this truly a salary dump?", and thoughts of a conspiracy theory of if this had a level of motivation from the Pitching Coach that maybe Kazmir could not conform to "his" system? But I will hold that anger for another blog. This is a Irish wake for the loss of a young ace who might just flourish under his former Pitching coach, and make all of us regret this move. And deep within the recesses of my mind, I hope he gets us right between the eyes.
I seem to remember something Kazmir said around the time of the Trade Deadline that "if he wanted to go somewhere else, he would not have signed that contract extension in 2008". How did someone who held 8 individual player bio pages in the Rays 2009 Media Guide all of a sudden become expendable? And he was in the first season of his recently signed 3-year contract, it is not like he was going into his option years, or facing Free Agency in 2010.
I was incredibly excited when in 2008, on my birthday, Kazmir signed his 3-year contract extension covering 2009-2011, with a club option for 2012. And it still puzzles me deeply that a guy who is the Rays All-Time leader in wins (55), strikeouts (874) and quality starts (62) can just be tossed away for prospects?
The Rays return of low tier players in this deal is not so wildly impressive that it merited a fast and furious trade. Those same minor league players that might have been in the same proposal the Angels dangled in front of the Rays noses before the Trade Deadline. Hopefully the player to be named later announced after the end of this season will be the keystone to this move. If not, the Rays gave up too much for so little in this deal.
I have seen Kazmir sweat, bleed and endure heartaches in the Rays colors since he got here from the New York Mets. So to say I am not happy right now would be a true understatement. Kazmir has been as special to the Rays community as he was on the mound. Fans used to flock to events with Kazmir because of his ever-growing smile and pure joy to chat with the fans. I know i will miss the head nods and the small chatter with him before a start.
Also moving onto Anaheim with Kazmir will go the Scott Kazmir Foundation, which held annual poker tourneys and helped the Children's Dream Fund in this area. Gone will be his swagger when he walked in for charity events for the local Edwards Family Foundation he co-founded with ex-Ray Bobby Seay and boxers Winky Wright and Jeff Lacy. And gone will be those extra set of hands he supplied for the Rays Field Renovation Program, which he did in conjunction with the Rays Foundation.
More and more this is smelling like a Risk Management decision that an ex-Wall street guy like Andrew Friedman could see from a mile away. Was Kazmir a failing commodity to the Rays? Was there a downward skills spiral coming that none of us could see beyond his recent resurging numbers? Could there be a plausible action/reaction here that would make us understand the move?
As of right now, the answers are just dust in the wind. The Kazmir decision has been made on a purely unemotional level and have been claimed to be a "business decision". And that is the clincher to all of this. For everything Kazmir has been, or could have done for this team, the ultimate decision might have come down to a few numbers and letters on a report or a email.
But truth be told, if we face Kazmir in the postseason either in the relief role or as a starter, I will clap for him. I am still swirling in the sea of information and gut reactions to this trade. But I am taking it more on the level of a guy is now gone that I trusted with my team, a player I knew would do it "The Rays Way" no matter what. I am dealing with a huge explosion of emotion and will be for some time.
Trades are never fun, and when they make no sense they send you into a turmoil of unexpected actions and reactions. This is a decision by this new ownership group that has me befuddled and confused and we all deserve answers to our questions. Screw the business aspect of it all for a moment. Is this going to be the Rays "company line" from now on? Use our personnel to the
ir height of trade value, then pluck them from the Rays tree and moved onto another bush to ripen.
Is theRays front office trading of our favorite players going to revolve into something this impersonal and cold? Are the Rays going to just use business sense from now on and not reward or value playing hurt or extra effort? If the Rays do go this route, maybe it is better they do it like they did to Kazmir. Maybe it is better to clip their wings and send them away before we grow attached to them. Pawns in a business plan played out on the greens grass of the MLB.

Tough loss to the Rays, I've been hoping against all hope that the Rays would hang tough and catch the Sox over the six games they play in September – This club needed Kazmir down the stretch and shipping him out of town makes absolutely no sense considering how close the Rays are to making it into the post season. 4.5 back is not insurmountable considering you do play both the Rangers and Sox. While the Rays definitely have their work cut out for them over the next two weeks, it was not out of the question that with Boston still not putting it all together and Texas sporting some very young and inexperienced pitching that the Rays could have returned to the playoffs… I have my own theories but that's just someone looking in from far away
Todd Price
I was stunned when I heard Kaz got traded. The only reason this makes sense is if the front office really thinks Kaz is on the decline and that they won't get anything better for a starter posting a 5.92 ERA during the offseason (prospects Alex Torres and Matt Sweeney aren't exactly nothing). The Rays aren't in a rebuilding mode, so a straight-up salary dump doesn't make any sense. At any rate, I still wouldn't count the Rays out of the Wild Card race just yet.-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.blogspot.com
Have to say with the wound still fresh there is no reason besides a salary dump of $1 mllion towards the 2009 budget.
I agree Kamir has been the guy to get the tough games for the Rays the last 2 seasons. He was the starter in the games where they beat the Fenway Park curse (Sept 9,2008), First clinch of a playoff berth ( Septe 20,2008), and first win in a World Series game (Game 2).
Maybe by Spring Training 2010 this will make sense.
As of today, it is a white flag being tied to the pennant post.
Rays Renegade
If I was to put myself into Andrew Friedman's shoes, I might not have done the same.
But he has been known to have a few deals in advance in his pocket when he makes a deal some times.
This does get them closer to their 201o proposed budget, but they still have some tinkering to do with the roster.
This move actually works well for the Angels so they can add Kazmir to their playoff roster because he will be on their roster on August 31st.
Kazmir is 2-0 against both the NY Yankees and the Bosotn Red Sox. Might be a benefit to the Angels.
Guess this is a classic "We shall see" scenario
Rays Renegade
Cliff – This sucks. Big time. I've been avoiding blogging, ESPN, Sprtscenter…baseball in general. What was the reasoning for this? The REAL reason? Kaz is back with Butcher now. He's going to be just fine. The Angels are getting one heck of a guy. On and off the field.
Here's hoping we meet Kaz and the Angels in the playoffs!
A couple people within the Rays organization have told me it will be fine, but I really think the timing is so suspect.
You only owe Kazmir !1 million the rest of the season.
we have given 2.5 million to a closer who has held a 40-man roster spot hostage all year.
I would have DFA'd Percival the minute he said he was healthy this year.
Wade Davis now has the eyes of the franchise on him, not just the big shots but the fans.
If he falls, someone's head will have to go………….period!
Rays Renegade
Honestly, I think the move is a huge benefit for the Rays. Kazmir has been terribly inconsistent (though better of late) and his contract carries big dollars. The Rays will make the playoff push just fine without him. I'd go as far to say that he wouldn't even be a starter in a playoff series anyway (maybe a spot 4th starter at best) and they're gettin' some good raw talent in exchange (while dumping big $$$ off the books). Of course, I'm not a Rays fan, so the loyalty part is removed from the equation, but in terms of baseball moves, I think it's a good one — savvy even.
I saw that they recalled Sonny, not Davis. If Davis has all eyes on him – why bring up Sonny? Oh wait – Sonny has the experience! They want him on the roster for the playoffs …if we get there! Thought Davis was the next "big thing"?! I'm starting to wonder about the management.
I hope the rest of the team doesn't fall apart wondering what other "wonderful" ideas the management comes up with next.
Oh Jeff,
that is funny.
You had me laughing so hard I spilled my Dr. Pepper all over the desktop keyboard and had to go to the laptop.
Kazmir was the #2 starter, and he has won more big games for this franchise and has gotten better run support than the # 1 or #3 on this team.
He went toe-to-toe with Cole Hamels in the second game of the World Series, and in that game, David Price got the win, not Kazmir because of a bullpen mini meltdown.
Remember the Upton short Sac. Fly?
I personally would keep him over Shields, Neimann or Davis or Sonnanstine.
Rays Renegade
On Tuesday the MLB rosters expand to 40 players.
If Sonny is brought up before August 31st, he can be added to the postseason roster.
I still think it will be Davis against Lester on Tuesday night unless they send Price against Lester and give Davis another day to settle in up with the Rays.
Just because they pulled Sonny off his start tonight is more precaution because of his promotion along with Davis on Tuesday.
Fernando Perez will also be brought up along with Matt Joyce.
Rays Renegade
I can feel your frustration and confusion, Renegade, and I'd be the same way. You not only lost a guy who was huge for the franchise and became an integral part of the Rays community but who had a promising future. I get the salary dump thing. But for two prospects and a player to be named later? Sounds like the Angels got a steal.
I was shocked when I heard about that Kazmir trade. I totally don't understand the trade stuff but a player to be named later??? I was hoping the Rays would gain some momentum.
Even if the player to be named later is truly on the Angels 40-man roster, it might be lopsided if they make it deep into the playoffs.
But this deal is going to be tried out in the blogs and in the stands until the end of the season.
If it is received as bad as I think it will be, then Andrew Friedman will get boo'ed at the last few games when they do the minor league year end awards
Always fun to play GM for a moment.
Rays Renegade
Basically, when a team makes a guy in a trade a "player to be named later ( PTBNL), it is usually a guy on the team's 40-man protected roster. For that guy to be traded to the second team, he has to clear waivers like any other player. But after the season, he is free to be traded at any time to any one the team wants him to go to………It is a slight of hand trick to get around the rules.
And everyone does it!
Rays Renegade
Does the other team have any idea who this player to be named later is?
Rays Renegade, I completely agree on your positioning…I'd have Kazmir ranked second behind Garza right now but would not move Price either…Salary dumping with your team four games out should result in Friedman heading out of town…that's weak in my opinion, the Rays have owned the Sox this year and last and had a legit chance to catch them. Price pitched a gem yesterday – hopefully its not all over for 2009.
That wasn't the right move to make at all. What was the line of thinking? The Rays are winning it this year. Well now we know what the front office thinks of their playoff chances.
Both teams know who the player is, but because of the waiver situation, the rest of us are in the dark.
Like I mentioned before in the comments, usually between the end of the season and next Spring Training report date, that PTBNL" will be announced and sent to Tampa Bay.
Rays Renegade
I wish I was as confident as Rays Manager Joe Maddon about this move. I think our offense has to push it into high gear against teams that Shields and Garza pitches against.
That is our weak spot right now. Those two guys have been robbed by the offense this season.
Sonnanstine as a replacement for Kazmir is weak.
Sorry, but Sonny went 3-2 in AAA. That doesn't translate into 5-0 in the majors.
Rays Renegade
Tribe Ted,
Actually, the Rays Front Office sent out our playoff ticket packages a week ago, and want our money in by September 8th.
This move made me rethink my playoff ticket package, and I will watch from home.
I am not in a falling state of depression here, just pondering the direction of the club for 2010.
Rays Renegade
I am so sorry to hear of the trade! I would agree – the timing is a bit suspect. I hope that you, the Rays and Kaz will all be fine. Times like these remind us just how much of a business baseball is.
Yeah, believe me, i know it is a business.
And out front office is filled with ex-Wall Street guys, so risk management 101 is a prerequisite for a job (lol).
From a fan side the trade had bad timing, but from their viewpoint, capital was gained and a depreciation of the product was saved by trading assets with a winfall in expected salaries in the coming year.
TRANSLATION: We got some minor leaguer's that will make at worst MLB minimum in 2010 or beyond for a high dollar starter.
Rays Renegade
I try to make others laugh. Haha. I was being serious in this case though. Sure, Kazmir has done all those things but this year he's been two (sometimes three) different pitchers on the mound. He'd be a great closer in my opinion.
I can see the logic, but I think the problem with Kazmir had more to do with Rays Pitching Coach Jin Hickey and his system than injuries or mechanical adjustments.
Kazmir seemed more upset when he was following the "system", and his last two starts he bucked the system a few times, which probably made him extra expendable to Hickey.

September 2006
A pregnant patient consulted her physician after discovering that a diphenhydramine preparation (Benadryl elixir) she used for allergy symptoms during the first trimester of her pregnancy contained 15% alcohol. Should she be concerned about fetal alcohol spectrum disorder in her baby?
Most ethanol-containing medical preparations are safe during pregnancy. Adult doses of some elixirs with high ethanol concentrations might produce blood levels similar to those achieved by drinking 1 alcoholic beverage. Caution is advisable when prescribing ethanol-containing elixirs to pregnant women, as is informing them about the alcohol content.
Une patiente enceinte a consulté son médecin après avoir découvert qu'une préparation de diphenhydramine (l'élixir Bénadryl), qu'elle prenait durant le premier trimestre de sa grossesse pour des symptômes d'allergie, contenait 15% d'alcool. Devrait-elle s'inquiéter de la possibilité du syndrome d'intoxication fœtale à l'alcool chez son bébé?
La plupart des préparations médicales contenant de l'éthanol sont sécuritaires durant la grossesse. Une dose pour adulte de certains élixirs à forte concentration d'éthanol pourrait produire des taux d'alcool dans le sang semblables à ceux produits après avoir bu 1 consommation d'alcool. Il est conseillé d'être prudents lorsqu'on prescrit des élixirs contenant de l'éthanol aux femmes enceintes et de bien les renseigner sur le contenu en alcool.
Ethanol is used widely in pharmaceutical formulations and cosmetics as an antimicrobial preservative or as a solvent. Some common ethanol-containing medications are listed in Table 1. More than 130 preparations containing ethanol are listed in the 2006 Canadian Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties.1
If the above patient used Benadryl elixir containing 15% alcohol at an adult dose of 50 mg 4 times daily (80 mL of elixir daily), she would have ingested about 10 g of ethanol daily, equivalent to the amount of alcohol in a glass of wine.
Ethanol is a potent animal and human teratogen. A dose-dependent risk of malformation has been demonstrated repeatedly in animal experiments.2-4 Epidemiologic studies in humans have provided strong evidence for dose-dependent toxicity, with babies of heavy-drinking pregnant women having a higher risk of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder than those of moderate drinkers.5-7
A threshold level of exposure for fetal toxicity (ie, a level below which there is no toxicity) of ethanol has not been identified so far.8,9 Some authors have suggested, based on animal studies, that this threshold level could be exceeded with very low levels of exposure.9
Data obtained from animal studies suggest that serum ethanol concentrations are the best risk marker for fetal toxicity. On the other hand, the toxicologic definition of a threshold level of exposure in which no adverse effect is observed must be based on studies evaluating exposure of the most sensitive indicator of toxicity, the brain. Direct measurements of alcohol concentrations in the human fetal brain and correlation with neurotoxicity are not feasible, which precludes a precise estimation of dose-related risk.9
Most human data come from studies evaluating fetal ethanol exposure among alcohol-drinking pregnant women. Some experts consider the developmental outcomes observed to be irrelevant to the low blood alcohol concentrations resulting from physicians' recommending use of consumer products containing ethanol.10,11 Small quantities of ethanol in the blood are metabolized rapidly, unlike the medium-to-large amounts ingested in beverages, which saturate alcohol-metabolizing enzymes and lead to disproportionally high blood alcohol concentrations.12-14
Experiments in primates have established that the threshold level of exposure for ethanol blood concentration is 400 mg/L,10 a level higher than most ethanol-containing medications would produce. Elixir formulations taken in adult doses would lead to exposures similar to those following 1 average alcoholic drink (9 to 14 g of ethanol), which produces serum levels around 150 mg/L.10 Most of these medications would be used for only short periods and would be divided into several (eg, 3 or 4) small doses throughout the day, unlike most alcohol exposures among alcholic beverage drinkers enrolled in epidemiologic studies. Yet the prospect of pregnant patients' unknowingly consuming alcohol at a dose equivalent to 1 drink a day is troubling.
While most medical, industrial, and domestic uses of ethanol-containing products might be safe during pregnancy, women should still be made aware that they contain alcohol. Adult doses of some elixirs with high ethanol concentrations might produce blood alcohol levels similar to those observed after 1 alcoholic drink.10 It is important to use caution when prescribing ethanol-containing elixirs to pregnant women.

Many Objectivists are aware of the fact that John McCaskey has resigned from the board of the Ayn Rand Institute (ARI). This article assumes familiarity with the events that have occurred in this controversy.
Briefly, McCaskey criticized a major ARI project - David Harriman's book The Logical Leap. Leonard Peikoff issued an ultimatum to ARI demanding McCaskey's removal from the board, or Peikoff would end his support for ARI. A flurry of internet activity ensued on various blogs (such as a site run by Paul and Diana Hsieh), 1 podcasts, and by newsletter editors, including Craig Biddle (editor of The Objective Standard).2
Leonard Peikoff has been denounced as unjust for publicly condemning McCaskey and non-objective for offering no evidence to support that condemnation, yet those making these accusations have ignored the fundamental issue in this controversy, focused on non-essentials, and failed to consider all of the available evidence.
In an email to ARI Peikoff stated that McCaskey's "disagreements … often go the heart of the philosophic principles at issue."3 An enquiring Objectivist might ask "what are these philosophic principles, and are they identifiable from the evidence available?" This is the fundamental issue in this controversy and there is very clear evidence that Leonard Peikoff is right. Yet virtually all of the commentary has focused on non-essentials such as Peikoff's phrase "…I hope you still know who I am?", or his comment about a "higher rung of Hell," or the fact that Peikoff did not give details of the reason for his position and therefore was being non-objective and unjust.
For evidence of the philosophic principles Leonard Peikoff is referring to, one need only go to McCaskey's review on Amazon.com,4 and to a series of emails he sent to David Harriman (which are posted on McCaskey's website).5 The salient statement in his Amazon.com review is:
Galileo's concept of resistance is not the same as our concept of friction but an immature concept that one would expect Harriman to call a "red light" to scientific progress. The remarkable thing is how much progress Galileo actually made using a concept that conflated two (or three) very different things.
(Harriman calls the development of a needed concept a "green light" to induction, and the lack of a needed concept a "red light" to induction. In other words, a valid concept is required for the inductive process to proceed.)
However, Galileo was not conflating "two (or three) very different things." His experiments of dropping different objects through various media enabled him to abstract away the drag (or resistance) imposed on the objects by the media. He then omitted the measurements of the drag to form the concept "friction." As Harriman states in The Logical Leap, this led to Galileo's discovery that all free bodies fall to earth at the same rate, regardless of material and weight. ("Free" in this context means not impeded by friction.)
But McCaskey insists that inductive generalizations can proceed without the requisite concepts in place. More evidence of this is provided in a quote from McCaskey's website when he discusses his emails to David Harriman:
I express reservations about the principle that an inchoate concept provides a "red light" to induction and sympathize with William Whewell's view that a concept's final formation completes rather than begins an induction.
David Harriman sums up McCaskey's position very succinctly in a letter to Diana Hsieh (this can be found on the Hsieh's website):
In effect, scientists stumble around in the dark and somehow discover laws of nature before they grasp the constituent concepts.
Is McCaskey's viewpoint consistent with the Objectivist theory of concepts, or as Peikoff puts it, "the heart of the philosophical principles at issue"? As Ayn Rand states, "The process of observing the facts of reality and of integrating them into concepts is, in essence, a process of induction."6 Briefly, concept formation begins with perception of concretes in reality. We mentally isolate essential similarities among these concretes, omit the measurements, and group similar concretes into a single mental unit – a concept. First level concepts are those where the similarities among referents are directly perceivable (e.g. "table", "chair", etc.), and higher level concepts are then formed by observing essential similarities among the lower level concepts (e.g. "furniture" is formed from "table", "chair", etc.). The first level concepts have similarities that allow integration into the next higher level concepts, and so on up the conceptual ladder. Thus concepts are developed in a hierarchy, with higher level concepts based on the earlier formed lower level concepts.
Notice that one cannot perceive "furniture" directly; one perceives "tables," "chairs," etc. For a higher level concept to be valid it must be reducible down through the hierarchy to the directly observable first level concepts. And to understand a concept one must be able to perform this reduction. As Ayn Rand states, "The meaning of furniture cannot be grasped unless one has first grasped the meaning of its constituent concepts; these are its link to reality."7 One must be able to trace the link from the concept "furniture" down to the observable concretes of "tables" and "chairs". Reduction is the means of connecting concepts to the perceptual level – i.e. reality.
Once concepts are formed they are used to acquire knowledge. Quoting Harriman:
Concepts are tools of knowledge … but are not by themselves claims to knowledge (although they presuppose knowledge)… If we are to gain knowledge with these tools, they must be used to create a cognitive product, such as a generalization which either does or does not correspond to reality.8
He then goes on to explain that generalizations are hierarchical, just as concepts are. The generalizations discovered by scientists rest on a large number of preceding generalizations. And throughout the entire process of observation and experiment, new concepts are formed that aid scientists in discovering further knowledge. Galileo's discovery of the law of free fall, after forming the concept friction is an example of this.
How does one know that this advanced scientific knowledge corresponds to reality? By the same process that higher level concepts are validated – reduction. Again, reduction is the means of connecting higher level generalizations to reality.
Now consider McCaskey's viewpoint that progress can be made using "a concept that conflate[s] two (or three) very different things." How could a valid concept be formed if it tried to integrate concretes that are essentially different? A "concept" like this could not be reduced to the perceptual level. And how valid would an inductive generalization be if it used a "concept" that was not tied to reality? Just like the "concept that conflated two (or three) very different things," this generalization also could not be reduced to the perceptual level. McCaskey provides more evidence for this same viewpoint when he states "a concept's final formation completes rather than begins an induction."
McCaskey denies the Objectivist view of what a concept is: he claims that a concept can be formed that "conflates[s]… very different things." In other words, concepts are formed on the basis of loose similarities – a matter of convenience –rather than on the basis of the essential characteristics of the constituent concretes. This amounts to the subjectivist view of concepts that says "anything goes" when it comes to forming a concept, and therefore denies the objectivity of concepts that is the essence of the Objectivist theory of concepts.
And what of McCaskey's view that Galileo could discover the law of free fall while simultaneously claiming "friction" was an "immature" concept at the time? This denies the hierarchical nature of knowledge. It ignores the requirement that higher level generalizations of reality be reducible to the perceptual level. In effect, he claims knowledge of reality is possible without reference to reality. And, while it is outside the scope of this article to discuss the details of scientific history, analyzing McCaskey's own discussion of Galileo's concept of friction (on his website) demonstrates that Galileo did have the proper concept, which supports Harriman's viewpoint in The Logical Leap, not McCaskey's non-Objectivist view of concepts.
Whether one is talking of Newton's identification that force is the product of mass and acceleration, or a first level generalization like "pushing a ball causes it to roll," the constituent concepts must be understood to draw a valid conclusion. Can you imagine a child understanding that a ball will roll when pushed, without understanding "ball" or "roll" or "push"? The principle is the same regardless of the level of knowledge.
So, how should we evaluate John McCaskey? Should he be evaluated based on Craig Biddle's claim that he was always "thoughtful, professional, and polite"? Should we take the stance, as Biddle has done, that "… even if McCaskey did issue criticisms amounting to such claims [that Peikoff and Harriman are misguided or that Objectivism is inadequate on this issue], unless he did so in a dishonest, unjust, or baseless manner, such criticisms would not warrant moral condemnation"? Should he be evaluated based on his "…remarkable achievements with the Anthem Foundation" or that "In every interaction, Dr. McCaskey has always been the consummate gentleman -- unfailingly polite and even-keeled. He's a scholar in the best sense -- concerned to draw the proper conclusions…" as the Hsieh's state on their website? Some of these statements may be true, but they are irrelevant to the issue raised by Peikoff – an issue that has been ignored by his detractors. It should be noted that the Hsieh's softened their stance somewhat in a later post, though their view of McCaskey apparently has not changed.
For the answer to how McCaskey should be evaluated, I suggest reviewing Leonard Peikoff's excellent article "Fact and Value", which is available for viewing on the ARI website.9 Discussing Ayn Rand's evaluation of Kant in that article, Leonard Peikoff states:
In the final issue of The Objectivist, Ayn Rand described Kant as "the most evil man in mankind's history." She said it knowing full well that, apart from his ideas, Kant's actions were unexceptionable, even exemplary. Like Ellsworth Toohey, he was a peaceful citizen, a witty lecturer, a popular dinner guest, a prolific writer. She said it because of what Kant wrote—and why—and what it would have to do to mankind. [bold added]
In summary, ideas require an evaluation with man's life as the standard of value. McCaskey should be evaluated for what he said about scientific induction, and what it would mean for science. He should be evaluated for a viewpoint that denies the fundamental principles of Objectivist epistemology, and for the consequences of what that viewpoint would lead to. The results of such a viewpoint can be seen today with notions such as "the big bang theory" and "string theory." These theories float with no connection to reality (see The Logical Leap for details). Science cannot advance with a method that severs concepts from reality because the generalizations that are based on such "concepts" are equally severed from reality. How could science aid man's life, if it does not deal with reality? And wider, what are the implications if one were to try to defend egoism, individual rights, or capitalism using this epistemological method? How could you defend a statement such as "Capitalism is the only moral social system" with the epistemological method underlying McCaskey's view? This is precisely what conservatives do when they argue capitalism "works" while advocating altruism; it is what Libertarians do when they advocate "freedom" divorced from ethics.
The Logical Leap is a great book. David Harriman and Leonard Peikoff should be commended for the work they have done to produce this ground breaking theory on induction. McCaskey has done more than just question the validity of that theory. He has attacked its epistemological foundation – the Objectivist theory of concepts.
Should McCaskey be excused for condemning the book? Should he be a board member of ARI, which is dedicated to spreading Objectivism, when he denies the foundation of Objectivism? I think the answers are obvious. Contrary to the claims of many, this controversy is not about McCaskey's accusation of historical inaccuracy. This is, to quote Leonard Peikoff, a disagreement that goes "to the heart of the philosophic principles at issue."
Leonard Peikoff was not being "authoritarian" in issuing an ultimatum, nor was he unjust in his evaluation of McCaskey. It should also be pointed out that he never intended his condemnation of McCaskey to be made public. The condemnation was made public by McCaskey himself, when he posted Leonard Peikoff's private email to ARI on his website (with the permission of Peikoff and ARI).
The sign of a great philosopher is his or her ability to get to the essence of an issue and understand its implications. Ayn Rand was the pre-eminent expert at this – for example, see her reviews of Kant and Aristotle. When the essence of an issue is not identified, however, volumes of words are written on irrelevancies, non-essentials, and minutiae that cloud the intellectual horizon and distract people from the truth. And in the process the people who do not see the essence of a given issue level non-objective accusations against those who do. This is what has occurred in this controversy.
Leonard Peikoff was able to identify the essence of McCaskey's viewpoint and properly condemned him as being inconsistent with Objectivism. Peikoff should be commended and admired for having the courage to take a firm stance towards ARI. He should be given the justice he deserves.

Miley Cyrus calls out tabloid editors over false reports
MILEY CYRUS has taken a break from her headline-grabbing Bangerz tour to slam false tabloid reports about her friendship with JUSTIN BIEBER and speculation she is in talks to star in the TV musical Peter Pan.
The Wrecking Ball hitmaker is no stranger to tabloid gossip, but on Monday (24Feb14), outspoken Cyrus decided to fight back to set the record straight about two new tales.
She posted a Star magazine article, in which a source revealed the singer is hoping to land the "dream role" of Tinkerbell in the live TV broadcast of Peter Pan later this year, on Twitter.com, and raged, "I would rather choke on my own tongue."
She then shared another image of a Life & Style article, in which she was pictured cozying up with Bieber at Pharrell Williams' recent birthday party, and slammed reports suggesting his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez was "convinced" the pop pair was seeing each other behind her back when she was dating the Baby hitmaker.
Cyrus wrote, "Btw (by the way) this (photo) is photoshopped. Biebs wasn't at Pharrell's (Williams) bday (birthday) party."
In a final jab at the tabloid, she wrote, "I never read this s**t & that's why."

Remember Kirill Koltsov?
Editors note: Andrey Osadchenko is the senior Russian Correspondent at the Nations Network. He writes regularly in Russian at allhockey.ru, and has a series of web videos called "Joining the Rush" with Steve Dangle. Today Andrey catches up with some of the former Russian-born draft picks of the Canucks organization. The piece underscores why drafting Russian-born players has gone somewhat out of style; simply put, it's a risky proposition.
For generations, Russia has been known as a "promised land" in terms of producing skilled hockey players. Among all NHL teams, the Canucks would know that. After all, they were lucky enough to have arguably the best Russian players in the history of hockey on their roster in Igor Larionov and Pavel Bure.
Recently the Canucks haven't relied on Russians, apparently having switched their preference to Swedes instead. However, they still own the NHL rights to quite a few ruskies with varying levels of notoriety. Sergei Shirokov's move across the pond a couple of seasons ago proves that in modern hockey, anything can happen – so it's possible that one of these guys could end up with the team at some point. That said – it's probably a stretch. Let's take a look at the Russian "prospects" the Canucks have drafted over the past decade, and evaluate whether or not it was worthwhile to draft them.
Evgeny Gladskikh
- Age – 29
- Position – RW
- Height – 6'0
- Weight – 198
- Drafted – 2001 round 4 #114 overall
- Current club – Yugra (KHL)
Classic Russian winger – tremendous puck control, hockey sense and wrist shot. He spent most of his career playing for his hometown team Metallurg Magnitogorsk, which ironically may be the reason he never really became a star. It is extremely hard to get a significant amount of ice-time when you play for a big club like Metallurg.
Evgeny played over 400 games in the RSL/KHL and had four 20+ point seasons. He also played 5 friendly games for Team Russia in which he managed to score 2 goals. Last season he struggled to earn a spot on Torpedo Nizhnyi Novgorod line-up and spent most of the season in the VHL – a second tier Russian league.
Chances of him ever opting for North America are scarce. He's never played outside of Russia and apparently intends to keep it that way.
Who the Canucks could have drafted instead.
Kyle Wellwood, Cody McCormick, Mike Smith, Dennis Seidenberg, Marek Zidlicky, Jussi Jokinen, Brooks Laich, Derek Boogaard, Cristobal Huet, Johnny Oduya, Marek Svatos, Milan Jurcina.
Ilya Kablukov
- Age – 23
- Position – Centre
- Height – 6'3
- Weight – 183
- Drafted – 2007 round 5 #146 overall
- Current club – Atlant (KHL)
The pinnacle of Kablukov's career was in 2006 when he was called up to play for Team Russia at the IIHF U18 World Championship. However, in 6 games he didn't pick any points. And it seems to be the story of his entire career.
Kablukov was always considered an average player. His skating is far from perfect, and his skill level doesn't stand out either. In sum, his on-ice productivity is below average. He played 201 games in the RSL/KHL and scored only 14 goals and 38 points. Interestingly enough, in his draft year Kablukov played 24 games for CSKA and didn't get any points but still was drafted by the Canucks.
Any chance of him coming over? Is there really a reason that he should?
Who the Canucks could have drafted instead of him?
Carl Gunnarsson, Frazer McLaren, Paul Postma
Ilya Krikunov
- Age – 27
- Position – RW
- Height – 5'11
- Weight – 174
- Drafted – 2002 round 7 #223 overall
- Current club – Torpedo (KHL)
Krikunov is an alumni of Crystall Elektrostal – a club that plays in a second tier Russian league and known for giving their youngsters the opportunity to showcase their skills. Having so much of ice-time on his hands Ilya developed at a very young age, which gave him an edge among his peers.
He played for Team Russia at both U18 and U20 IIHF World Championships. Amazingly enough, he picked up 3 goals and 11 points at the U18 tourney in 2002. It very well may have been the reason the Canucks bothered to pick him.
Unfortunately, ever since then his career has gone downhill. He had a single 10-goals season and two 20+ point seasons in Russian elite league. Giving the way he performs and his age there's only one conclusion to make – he wasn't born to play in the NHL
Who the Canucks could have drafted instead of him?
Derek Meech, Maxime Talbot, Petr Prucha, Dennis Wideman, Jonathan Ericsson.
Sergei Topol
- Age – 26
- Position – LW/C
- Height – 6'1
- Weight – 181
- Drafted – 2003 round 8 #252 overall
- Current club – Mechel Chelyabinsk (VHL)
Even in 2003 – Topol was an odd pick to say the least. Topol (his last name literately means 'a poplar' in Russian) was born in a hockey-obsessed town of Omsk. He had a bigger body than his peers, which was good for him during early stages of his junior career. Other than that, though, he had nothing to offer.
As usually happens in situations like this, Sergei was unable to find his legs in pro hockey. He tried to crack the Avangard Omsk line-up for several years but his attempts were futile. He played a few years in Russian minor leagues before trying to get a spot in the KHL – this time he was fighting for a spot with Metallurg Novokuznetsk. Once again – it didn't work out for him.
He currently plays in a second tier Russian league. Future NHLer? Yeah, probably not.
Who the Canucks could have drafted instead of him?
Matt Moulson, Tanner Glass, Jaroslav Halak, Nick Tarnasky, Brian Elliott.
Kirill Koltsov
- Age – 28
- Position – D
- Height – 5'11
- Weight – 192
- Drafted – 2002 round 2 #49 overall
- Current club – SKA St.-Petersburg (KHL)
Terrific offensive defenseman. Wonderful skater, puck-disher and shooter. The only thing he has, which, many people wish he didn't – is the attitude. When Kirill is in the mood – there's hardly any better defenseman in the KHL. And when he's not – well, you'd better keep him off the ice. The Canucks are probably aware of this, since Koltsov played 2 seasons for the Manitoba Moose.
Koltsov is always considered as one the candidates to play for Team Russia, but has only one IIHF World Championship under his belt. Having said this, it has to be mentioned that he has won championships in the RSL and the KHL, and boasts a couple gold medals from the U18 and U20 IIHF World Championships.
If the Canucks were able to somehow convince Koltsov to try his luck in North America one more time, and were willing to make Koltsov an offer that could compete with his current contract (which expires in 3 years) — they'd still will have to deal with his attitude. It's probably better for the Canucks to look for a d-man somewhere else.
Who the Canucks could have drafted instead of him?
Jiri Hudler, Tomas Fleischmann, Johnny Boychuk, Gregory Campbell, Matthew Lombardi, Erik Christensen, Valtteri Filppula, Aaron Rome, James Wisniewski, Tom Gilbert, Ian White.

peter maurer avait besoin d'un nouveau design de logo et a lancé un concours sur 99designs.
Un gagnant a été sélectionné de 112 designs proposés par 26 designers freelance.
Our mission is to solve our nation's urban parking shortages and revitalize urban centers by utilizing the world's most advanced 21st Century state of the art, automated, robotic parking solutions.
autoParx sells, installs, owns, operates and maintains robotic parking garages across America utilizing automated parking technologies and systems. Our systems being modular and scalable easily fit in any building design. This computerized system of robots, trolleys and other transport devices carry cars from the entrance bay to available parking slots without human intervention. Over the next few years, automated parking will become the preferred parking solution to most major US cities due to the substantial financial, environmental and social advantages over conventional parking structures. autoParx products reduce by up to 50% on average a project's parking footprint. We can fit three times the amount of cars in the same volume of a traditional parking structure. Automated parking garages are unoccupied thus eliminating accidents, vandalism and assaults. No cars driving in automated parking garages reduces emissions by over 80% reducing the carbon footprint and adding up to 12 LEED points to a project. We de-emphasize parking structures.
http://www.autoparx.com (for additional information)
autoParx is targeting Transportation Oriented Developments (TOD's) such high speed, light rail and bus stations, inter-modal transit stations, Medical Office Buildings (MOB's) and Mixed Use Developments in high density urban areas where there is no more land available for traditional garages or lot sizes that are too small for traditional parking structures. We are targeting municipalities to promote and develop robotic automated parking structures, reducing the footprint and volume of a traditional parking structure and free up land to build public spaces and recreational parks on the land instead.
autoParx branded parking structures need to be recognized from far distance (logo on building) by drivers looking for parking, day and night. Additionally they will be promoted through website, software for hand-held devices, applications such as geo-fencing etc.
We're looking for a strong logo that highlights "Parking", "robotic/automation/technology", "green", "clean", and "safe"." Logo applications include media kit, collateral, mailers, trade show booth, etc. Consumers will identify our logo as representing a robotic/green/eco/safe/convenient/technology parking systems company. The image has to be simple and easily recognizable. I like to see a final logo with and without one of the following tag lines:
"sustainable parking systems" and the other "21st Century Parking Systems"

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'balustrade garden' tag.
Mid-season and the gardens are growing well. No pest problems, no disease to speak of. I guess this is a good year for a garden and with ample amounts of rain, watering has been kept to a minimum. This is the time to feed the garden one last time before the cold season arrives.
If you have read the post on spring fertilizing, I have an all-purpose fertilizer recipe I use twice a year for the job. This year the garden is so large and full that I am going to feed with poultry pellets. This can easily be broadcast around the garden and not burn the plants.
As a general rule, stop fertilizing the garden no later than mid-August, as new growth will not survive the winter months ahead. Amongst the benefits of keeping plants healthy, mid-season fertilizing will help your garden to look its best through the dog days of summer.
In addition to my mid-season fertilizing routine, if there are plants that need an extra boost or need some quick food or perhaps looking a little tired, worn out, I give them a good watering with sea kelp and fish emulsion. This treatment usually is for those plants that are heavy feeders.
Alyssum planted annually fills in this two inch gap between the stone edging which will eventually cover the stone below.
Every year a few alyssum seeds fall between the cracks and grow.
Moneywort creeping over the edge. Another two inch gap is utilized for more plants.
Something unusual about this year is the rate at which the flowers are blooming. It's not such a bad thing to see a garden filled with colorful flowers, however, many of the fall bloomers are ready to go.
Looking through past years blooming charts, these fall bloomers typically start at the end of August. I started keeping track of plants at their peak of bloom, because for me it is easier to plan on what changes I want to undertake or new plants to accentuate the garden. This works very well when annuals are selected to enhance a perennial garden. Here is a sample of the charts I keep for quick reference for garden planning.
'Regale' Lilies just before bloom.

text: Chesapeake Bay Foundation, EPA Agree to Reduce Animal Waste Runoff June 6, 2013 08:45 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jen Russell AgWeb Product & Project Manager Email The Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the Environmental Protection Agency announced on June 5 that they have reached an agreement to ensure that livestock and poultry producers are working to reduce ag runoff into the bay. The foundation said the agreement will help ensure that the goal of reducing pollution in the six-state, 64,000-square-mile watershed will be achieved by 2025. The agreement calls for regular inspections of animal feeding operations to make sure they are complying with anti-pollution regulations. However, the Associated Press reports that some environmental groups are displeased with the new agreement. "AgDay" national reporter Tyne Morgan caught up with Michael Formica, chief environmental council for the National Pork Producers Council, at the World Pork Expo. Watch the video below to hear more about the new agreement and what it means for pork producers. Back to news

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Thursday, June 22, 2006
Vegan Omelet made with leftover Soy and Seitan Ham, mushrooms, and my Vegan "Gruyere" (UPDATE: recipes is in my new book coming out in Sept. 2011)
This has been the craziest week! It's almost over, thank goodness. Here are some pics and descriptions of recent quick meals, so quick, most of them, that I didn't even use a recipe:
Pasta ala Primavera with wild oyster mushrooms
Tofurkey Italian Veggie Sausages with sautéed mushrooms, onions and peppers in red wine
Chinese Pepper Steak made with leftover Seitan "Steaks" (UPDATE: the steak" "recipe will be in my new book coming out in Sept. 2011)
Stir-fried Tofu and Snow Peas
Serves 2
A Cantonese favorite adapted from my book "Authentic Chinese Cuisine for the Contemporary Kitchen".
6-7 oz. firm or extra-firm regular (NOT silken)tofu, cut into 1/2" cubes
1 T. vegetarian "oyster sauce" (homemade vegetarian "oyster" sauce recipe)[commercially known as "vegetarian stir-fry sauce"])
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. dry sherry
2 tsp. cornstarch
dash white pepper
1 T. oil (Chinese cold-pressed peanut oil is a tasty choice-- Lion&Globe brand is a good one)
1/4 lb. fresh or frozen snow peas, trimmed and stringed
1/2 c. sliced celery
4 large mushrooms, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
Cooking Sauce:
1/2 c. water
1 T. dry sherry
1 T. soy sauce
1 T. vegetarian stir-fry sauce (see above)
1 T. cornstarch
1 tsp. roasted (Asian) sesame oil
1/4 tsp. sugar
Mix the tofu cubes with the first tablespoon of "oyster" sauce and the 2 tsp. each soy sauce, sherry, and cornstarch, and the pepper. Set aside while you prepare the vegetables.
Heat a large, heavy (nonstick, if possible) wok, stir-fry pan, or heavy skillet over high heat. When it's hot, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the tofu and garlic and stir-fry until the tofu begins to brown. Add the mushrooms and celery, and the snow-peas. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, adding drops of water if the mixture begins to stick. Add the Cooking sauce and stir until it bubbles and thickens. Stir in the nuts, if you are using them. Serve immediately.
And last, but not least, an impromptu recipe:
Canned (Companion brand) Chinese Vegetarian Roast "Duck" with pineapple and peppers, in a sweet, hot sauce made with orange and red pepper jelly, orange juice, soy sauce, whiskey, (I think it was 1/2 cup of the jelly and 2 T. each of the soy sauce and whiskey and orange juice) ginger and garlic:
The "duck" right out of the can
Happy quick cooking!

Today, I finally made your Vegan Cheese... with the stabilizers that you list in your newsletter.. I modified it to suit my taste and I have to say, this is the best batch yet! The firmness is so much better.. I can't wait to freeze it and grate it.
I also made a version of your Pina Colada Popsicles... but I turned it into a shake with a lot of ice and my family and I LOVE them. Seriously... last night we added frozen raspberries and made it into a sorbet like thing in the Vita Mix.. my kids were in heaven.. they liked it more than store bought stuff. (I even used KAL stevia instead of sugar..!!)
I can't wait to try your seitan recipes and your omlette recipe..
Oh.. I also made your Poppyseed dressing.. fabulous! Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes with us!

The big thing on Pinterest these days is a room decked out in white and gold. The color combo screams luxury, because it offers�a mix of Cleopatra and modern day California. Here's how to introduce�the trend in your home.
Custom window treatments
By using bright white drapes and gold-colored hardware, you can hop on this fad naturally. After all, drapes require hardware, and there's nothing unusual about white drapes. Since the look is so casually implemented, you'll have no trouble working it into your existing decor. You'll be surprised at how much shiny new window treatments brighten a room!
Have you ever wanted a throne of your own? A hot white chair with gilded legs can be just that: The perfect addition to your castle. If you're worried about stains, toss a white slip over your existing furniture and top that with a throw with metallic thread. Remember, spray paint can be an inexpensive way to help you transform your decor. Whether you paint it white, gold or both, it'll be a good look for any room in need of a little glitz. Want something more subtle? Try painting a table white, but make the underside gold. Christian Louboutins for your furniture - how chic!�
Picture frames
Photo frames are a cool way to implement this modern trend in an old fashioned way. Mount some high-contrast black-and-white photos or illustrations on white matte paper, and put them in�a few glitzy frames - either opulent or solid - before hanging them around the room. To use the trend in a more obvious way, group the photos near each other on one wall.�
Want to go all out? Just use all of the above tips for breezy, glamorous decor.�

Ciara Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction at People's Choice Awards Press Conference
Ciara almost revealed her goodies at a press conference for the People's Choice Awards nominations on Tuesday (Nov. 5). The R&B diva had a near wardrobe malfunction with her very short miniskirt.
As witnessed by HuffPost, the 'Body Party' singer tried to get out of her chair to announce the PCA nominees and her tiny dress started to rise up. Luckily, CiCi quickly pulled down her skirt without revealing what was underneath.
Her entire ensemble included the Anthony Vaccarello-designed V-shaped miniskirt, a black button-down shirt, matching gaudy jacket and Guiseppe Zanotti peek-a-boo toe boots. And let's not forget that she was also wearing a mountain-sized diamond ring on her finger courtesy of her fiancé Future.
So, yes, despite the snafu, Ciara looked flawless and fabulous at the event. Not only that, Ciara also scored a People's Choice Award nomination for Favorite R&B Artist. The 29-year-old songstress is up against Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna and Robin Thicke for the trophy.
Check out photos of Ciara's embarrassing moment below.

In the aftermath of the latest Giants loss, the one that dropped them to 0-5, coach Tom Coughlin said quarterback Eli Manning simply had to play better.
But with a day to think about it, Coughlin tried to steer the blame away from his quarterback with a league-high 12 interceptions, and back onto himself.
"I can understand what the football world may think," Coughlin said, via Conor Orr of the Newark Star-Ledger. "Actually, what should happen is people should shift [the blame] to me. The guy is trying to play the best he can. He's certainly trying to do too much. He knows his team, and he knows his responsibility."
Of course, it's not all his fault. The Giants have been slapping together parts to make an offensive line, and there are receivers and play-callers who contribute to the failure.
"I know that we're maligning my quarterback today, and believe me, there's a bunch of people involved in that. Those things don't happen just one-on-one now," he said. "It's a team concept. Whether you have a pressure situation, whether you have somebody that comes loose in front of him and he tries to move, whether the receiver doesn't do what he's supposed to do, whether people don't come back for the ball … whatever it is."
That's a lot of moving parts, but Coughlin's the one responsible for putting them together, and he was willing to make himself accountable.

Ferries were a convenient way of getting across the Connecticut River and remained in use even after railroad, trolley, and foot bridges spanned the river. This ferryman is transporting passengers from Northampton, Massachusetts to Hockanum, located in the northern section of Hadley, Massachusetts. Note the way he moved the ferry along by hauling the boat hand-over-hand along a rope while his partner controlled the rudder. Ferries typically charged different rates for pedestrians, animals, and vehicular traffic such as the buggy and bicycle shown here. In the distance, Mount Holyoke provides a scenic backdrop. Its summit had been a popular tourist destination for over a century by the time this postcard was made in 1916. The summit of Mount Holyoke provides panoramic views of Massachusetts and neighboring states.

Marathon suspect wants prison restrictions lifted
BOSTON (AP) — Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev asked a judge Wednesday to lift restrictions placed on him in prison, arguing that the conditions are overly harsh, have left him nearly totally isolated and are impairing their ability to defend him.
Tsarnaev's lawyers said in court documents that he has been confined to his cell except for visits from them and "very limited access" to a small outdoor enclosure.
Tsarnaev, 20, is accused of building and planting bombs near the finish line of the April 15 marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 260. Authorities say he and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, ethnic Chechens from Russia who emigrated to the United States as children, planned and carried out the attack to retaliate against the United States for its involvement in Muslim countries.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed four days after the marathon following a gun battle with police. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found wounded and hiding in a boat parked in a backyard. Authorities said he had scrawled anti-American messages on the inside of the boat, including "The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians" and "We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all."
In their motion, Tsarnaev's lawyers said "Special Administrative Measures" were imposed on their client beginning in August, at the request of U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz and the approval of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
"SAMs," as they are known, are used in terrorism cases and other high-profile cases when authorities allege there is "substantial risk" that a defendant's communications or contacts with people "could result in death or serious bodily injury" to others. The special restrictions were placed on shoe bomb suspect Richard Reid, "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh and other terror suspects.
Tsarnaev's lawyers say prosecutors have presented no evidence that the special restrictions are needed in Tsarnaev's case.
"The government has not alleged that Mr. Tsarnaev has done or said anything since his arrest to commit violence, incite violence, or engage in communications that pose a security threat," his lawyers argued in the filing.
They also said the special measures limit Tsarnaev's interaction with people who are helping the defense and restrict the communications and other activities of the defense team.
A spokeswoman for Ortiz did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
