Mindful Eating
Eating, while engaged in other activity, can prevent us from knowing what and how much we're putting in our mouths. When our focus is on the television, or in a good book while we eat, we often eat more than we should. And that means too many calories.We need to be mindful -- or attentive -- to not only what we eat, but how much we eat and also why we eat.
One way we can pay more attention to our food, is to not eat while doing any other activity, like watching tv or reading. Snack away from the television or do your reading away from the snack bowl.
"I know that my favorite thing to do was eat and read. So for the first six months I had to completely divorce those two activities, because I wasn't enjoying either one as much as I could."
Or, if your snack food comes in a big bag, dish out only the amount that you want to eat.
Eating mindfully also means eating to relieve hunger, not eating because we're bored, mad, sad or even happy.
"If I was down in the dumps, I'd eat. If I was happy, I'd eat. If something went right for me, it was the greatest thing to happen to me. I'd eat to celebrate.
If you find yourself eating when you're not hungry, choose another activity to occupy your time. Keep your hands busy. Do something you enjoy that's healthy, productive or fun. Replace eating with some physical activity. Your body will benefit by replacing unhealthy snacking with some exercise.
If you're snacking because you are hungry, choose healthy snacks like carrots or other vegetables. Other suggestions may be whole wheat crackers, or fruit.
How do you eat during mealtime? When you sit down to a meal, do you eat quickly? Slow down. Enjoy your meal. Be mindful of each bite and give your food full attention. Eating slowly gives our bodies time to feel satisfied, as the amount of food we eat increases.
When your hunger is satisfied, stop eating. Eating quickly doesn't give your body time to recognize that you've eaten as much as you have. That can lead to overeating, feeling satisfied only after we've eaten too much.
"I wasn't mindful of whether I was having one egg or three eggs, or mindful of having a second helpings, third in some cases."
"I'm actually tasting the food. I'm actually present when I'm eating, where in the past I was just stuffing, and really not enjoying it."
Again, allow yourself an appropriate serving size. Instead of overeating, reduce the amount of food available to you by taking less, sharing a dish, or saving some for leftovers.
Focus on your food. Think about what, how much, and why you are eating. You'll find yourself feeling more satisfied with less calories.
You can get more tips about mindful eating by talking to your healthcare provider or a nutritionist.

Poll: 7 in 10 back Florida medical-marijuana plan, enough to possibly affect governor's race
As many as seven in 10 Florida voters support a state constitutional amendment legalizing medical marijuana – more than enough to ensure passage and possibly affect the governor's race — according to a new poll from a group trying to put the measure on the 2104 ballot.
Medical pot's sky-high approval cuts across party and demographic lines, with Republican support the lowest at a still-strong 56 percent, the poll conducted for People United for Medical Marijuana, or PUFMM, shows.
The outsized support of Democrats and independents brings overall backing of the amendment to 70 percent; with only 24 percent opposed, according to the poll obtained by The Miami Herald.
Regionally, voters from the Miami and Orlando areas, among the most socially liberal in the state, want medical marijuana the most.
Non-Hispanic white women, blacks and Hispanics — all Democratic leaning — are the most-likely to back the measure and could be more likely to turn out to vote in two years if the medical marijuana makes the ballot.
"Supporters of the proposed amendment are less certain to cast ballots in the 2014 governor's race," David Beattie, Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson's pollster, wrote in an analysis of the poll of 600 registered voters taken Jan. 30-Feb. 3 by his firm, Hamilton Campaigns.
If it made the ballot, the measure would draw even more attention to Florida's nationally watched 2014 election in which Gov. Rick Scott will fight for his political life.
"The proposal to allow the medical use of marijuana could provide a message contrast in the Governor's race," Beattie wrote, "heightening its effectiveness as a turnout mechanism."
But, Beattie warns PUFMM in a memo, "don't frame turnout efforts on the passage of the ballot initiative in a partisan way."
To that end, former-Republican-operative-turned-Libertarian Roger Stone is planning to join PUFMM's efforts to give it a bipartisan feel.
A longtime backer of marijuana legalization, Stone, a Miami Beach resident, is seriously considering a run for governor, where he'll likely advocate for the initiative called "Right to Marijuana for Treatment Purposes."
On the Democratic side, former Nelson and Hillary Clinton fundraiser Ben Pollara, of Coral Gables, is signing up as the group's treasurer. Pollara said they've had discussions with Eric Sedler, managing partner at Chicago-based ASGK Public Strategies, which he started in 2002 with former White House advisor David Axelrod, still a President Obama advisor.
"The poll numbers were very encouraging," Pollara said. "But it's still a Herculean effort."
That's because Florida's Legislature and voters have made it tougher than ever to get measures on the ballot by citizen petition. PUFMM needs to collect the valid signatures of 683,149 Florida voters. That could cost up to $3.5 million.
Right now, PUFMM has raised just $41,000 and has collected only 100,000 signatures, not all of which are valid. Some might be too old because they were collected as far back as 2009.
PUFMM's Florida director, Kimberly Russell, said the group hopes that this poll and the top-notch campaign minds could turn things around.
"If we get this on the ballot, we have a great chance of getting this passed," Russell said. "The more these pass in other states, the more people support it everywhere else."
So far, 18 states plus the District of Columbia have medical-marijuana laws, including Republican-leaning states like Arizona.
Support appears to have increased in Florida since 2011, when a pollster for Republican Gov. Rick Scott — who opposes medical marijuana — surveyed the issue. Pollster Tony Fabrizio found support was strong in Florida, 57-38 percent.
But passing a constitutional amendment in Florida is tougher than in many states, in large part due to the 60 percent threshold.
"If there was organized opposition and $5 million, you could beat this thing," said John Sowinski, a long-time Florida citizen-initiative consultant. "Absent that money and organized opposition, this would have a good chance of passing."
Sowinski noted that the proposal might be perceived as too broad. While it specifies certain ailments — from Alzheimer's to Crohn's disease to HIV/AIDS — but it also allows marijuana for "other diseases and conditions when recommended by a physician."
Indeed, when the amendment is summarized without specifying the diseases, support falls 8 percentage points to 62 percent, when the ballot language is summarized for voters. Still, that's 2 percentage points above the threshold needed to approve a Florida constitutional amendment.
"The weakness in the proposed amendment isn't helping AIDS patients get medicine to cope with pain," he said. "It's the language that's so broad it could allow doctors to simply recommend marijuana for almost anything. Many people still want drugs controlled."
A plurality of Florida voters, about 49, percent say pot should remain illegal while about 40 percent say it should be legalized, the poll shows.
The pollster, Beattie, warned in his memo that the campaign should frame the effort in medical and personal terms; don't say "legalize" and don't say "drug."
But, in another question, voters tacitly favored outright legalization when asked if marijuana should be regulated and taxed like alcohol and cigarettes; 68 percent favored it and 27 percent opposed.
Asked if marijuana should be a "ticketed offense like speeding or running a red light," 48 percent approved and 42 percent disapproved, which is on the cusp of the poll's 4 percent error-margin.
By a 41-34 percent spread, voters said pot was safer than alcohol. Those who said marijuana was a "gateway drug" to hard drugs like cocaine and heroin narrowly edged those who thought it wasn't, 44-46 percent.
Potential opponents like the pharmaceutical industry, could be a good foil for the amendments backers.
When asked if they believed the pharmaceutical industry wants to keep marijuana off-limits to sell prescription drugs, "though marijuana could be a safer and cheaper alternative to some treatments," 52 percent agreed. Only 30 percent disagreed.
Support for medical marijuana is weakest in the GOP-controlled Legislature.
For two years, the Florida House refused to hear a proposed constitutional amendment that would have allowed people to vote on the issue.
The plan's sponsor, Democratic state Sen. Jeff Clemens of Lake Worth, said he plans this week to release conventional legislation — instead of a measure designed for voters — to decriminalize marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Clemens said legislators didn't like the proposed amendment because it wasn't specific enough. So now he'll present specifics by way of a bill with fellow Democrat, Rep. Katie Edwards of Plantation. Edwards said the bill, with extensive regulations, will be called the Cathy Jordan Medical Cannabis Act, named for a Sarasota activist who has Lou Gehrig's disease, or ALS.
Another reason to avoid a constitutional amendment: "We're coming off an election season where the Legislature put 11 proposed amendments on the ballot. And I didn't want to add to the noise," Clemens said.
Only three of the Legislature's amendments passed. Many were printed in full, which helped create long early voting and Election Day lines that made Florida an election laughingstock.
One of the measures printed in full, which failed 48.5-51.5 percent, was designed as a way to oppose Obamacare, was put on the ballot by lawmakers who said they supported "healthcare freedom."
This poll suggests that Florida voters support healthcare freedom when it comes to doctors dispensing pot.
A whopping 81 percent of voters said doctors should be able to recommend marijuana to patients without fear of arrest or loss of license, while 14 percent were opposed. The doctor item was the most-popular polled.
Not only does this poll show strong support in Florida, it indicates opposition is weak.
A fifth of those opposed said they'd change their mind and vote yes if a doctor recommended marijuana to a family member suffering from a "serious illness," the Hamilton Strategies poll shows.
Attitudes might be evolving as Florida continues to draw retirees who came of age in the 1960s. An 18-year-old in 1967's "Summer of Love" is 64 today.
"It's like taking a magic pill," a medical-marijuana-smoking Boca Raton retiree told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel last year for a story on the rise of "senior stoners."
"I can have a crappy, crappy day and I take one toke and in less than three minutes I'm leveled out and feel wonderful," the 70-year-old woman said.
"Florida is changing," said Roger Stone, the libertarian consultant to PUFMM who might run for governor. "But one thing remains the same: We have a lot of older voters. And a lot of those older voters don't want the government making their healthcare decisions."

Marston: Heard around the West
If you want to watch the latest death-defying sport in the red-rock outback of southeastern Utah, check out "World's largest rope swing" on YouTube, which has racked up more than 17 million views, according to The Salt Lake Tribune. The video shows roped climbers leaping off the top of an arch and then swinging back and forth in a huge arc. Although the camera-equipped swingers and their watching friends gasp with awe and laugh throughout the wild ride, the sight can give you the creeps: What if there's a miscalculation and a swinger smashes into the side of the arch instead of blowing through? Something like that just claimed the life of 22-year-old Kyle Lee Stocking, of West Jordan, Utah, who jumped off Corona Arch near Moab in March. He didn't hit the arch itself, but unfortunately used a rope that was longer than the 140-foot fall. Stocking plummeted to the ground and died from the impact.
Shaun McClusky, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor of Tucson, believes in a do-it-yourself police force. Because the city's cops aren't adequately funded, he told the Arizona Daily Star, he and his supporters have raised $12,000 to buy shotguns and provide firearms training for anyone who lives in a crime-ridden neighborhood. Asked whether his vigilante move might cause legal problems, McClusky said, "Saying guns are responsible for killing people is like saying spoons are responsible for making people fat. If someone wants to bring me the publicity for free and sue me, bring it on." Meanwhile, City Councilman Steve Kozachik found McClusky's logic difficult to follow: "To suggest that giving away … loaded shotguns in high-crime areas will make anybody safer is pure idiocy. This is coming from a purported leader in the local Republican Party, the same group who last year auctioned off a Glock and rifle as fundraisers. … They're totally out of touch with the values of this city."
"If Montana residents can scrape it up, they can eat it," said The Associated Press, about a roadkill-salvage bill signed by the governor April 4. "It really is a sin to waste good meat," is how Democratic state Sen. Larry Jent of Bozeman put it. Elk, deer, antelope and moose are all fair game for retrieval under the bill, though an earlier version would have also included furbearers and some gamebirds. Opponents, however, worried about the safety of the meat: "Despite its good intention, it doesn't pass the smell test for me," explained Sen. Kendall Van Dyk, D-Billings. Still, everyone seemed to agree that, law or no law, few drivers are likely to crash into an edible animal just to avoid a trip to the supermarket. "We don't have very many suicidal drivers," Jent said.
When Pitkin County, home to Aspen, adopted a Renewable Energy Mitigation Program designed to make owners of mega-mansions pay for their electricity load, few people predicted that just one 15,000-square-foot house would generate almost a half-million dollars for the program. Usually, homeowners offset a building's energy use by installing solar panels or geothermal heat pumps, but in this case, reports the Aspen Times, the electrical demands to melt snow from driveways and heat an outdoor pool and spa were just too much: The home's amenities drove the residence over its energy budget. Owners must now pay the county $468,947, which will be used to fund energy conservation projects throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.
True or false, asks Colby Poulson, who lives in Farmington, Utah: Earth Day was created in 1970 to celebrate all the wonderful ways that our society benefits from mining and burning fossil fuels. If you answered "true," you just might be an elementary school student in that state, thanks to a poster contest sponsored by the Utah Division of Oil, Gas & Mining and a group of petroleum engineers. Their information for the contest tells children that without oil, gas and mining, there would be "no electricity, no diamonds and no Disneyland." As for alternative energy and the need to stop air pollution and contain global climate change, there's not a word about that from the contest sponsors. Poulson, the father of a kindergartner, was incensed: "I'm disgusted that the state is backing propaganda like this in our schools, especially after a winter filled with some of the worst air quality we've ever seen," he said in a letter to The Salt Lake Tribune. "It makes me sick."Betsy Marston is the editor of Writers on the Range, an op ed syndicate of High Country News (hcn.org).

Watch Dogs compares the game's city to GTA5, says the focus is on density
Watch Dogs is set in a fictional version of Chicago, and creative director Jonathan Morin has compared its scale to that of Grand Theft Auto 5's Los Santos. It may not be as big in terms of sheer mileage, but Morin promises the world of Watch Dogs will offer "huge density."
"One thing I wanted to promote with Watch Dogs was density, a lot more than scale," Morin said in an interview with Eurogamer. "We have a big city but one thing a lot of games aren't exploring is the shared density of it.
"[In Watch Dogs] you can stand still and profile people for ten minutes – you're playing without moving, almost. I think that's even more important to me than just adding size to it. I don't want size just becoming a space between A and B. We have a huge world but it's more about the density."
So the comparison to GTA5 really serves to show the different approach that Watch Dogs is taking. There'll be no aerial vehicles in the latter, as the world isn't vast enough to justify them like it is in GTA.
"GTA5 has a huge world but it has flying, it has jets so it serves that purpose," said Morin. "You don't have a jet unless you have the space to fly into. Us, we have huge density, so if we double or triple the scale then you're going to start hitting repetition because we wanted to aim for the density first. We wanted the game to be the right size for that density, so it's a matter of balancing what you want to achieve."

Something happens when a dude becomes a dad. He starts to team trainers with everything, he prefers to wear his socks pulled up high and he starts acting like a bit of a goober. He learns all sorts of new jokes, dances and pranks that he thinks are bloody funny. Most are cringey and cause a red-faced, "Daaaaaaaaaad" in reply from sheepish kids.
Driving past a cemetery and dad points out:"There are people dying to get in there." You ask dad what's on the television and replies "a pot plant". You trip on uneven ground and dad asks: "Have a nice trip?"
All these fatherly favourites are lame, but lovable. So to celebrate father's day this Sunday we're asking you: What's your favourite dad joke?

The day Dante Exum was born his father walked into the Melbourne hospital with a basketball and placed it in his newborn son's hands.
Almost 19 years later Exum has the basketball world in his hands.
On Thursday (Friday 10am AEST) at a televised ceremony in Brooklyn, New York that attracts enormous hype, Exum is expected to be announced as a top three pick in the NBA Draft.
Exum, who turns 19 next month, is 198cm tall and has a freakishly big 212cm wingspan for a point guard.
His feet are so fast and his jump so high one US media organisation wondered if he wore a jet pack and in recent months NBA coaches and analysts have compared him to a young Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant or Penny Hardaway.
"His athleticism and his length is tailor-made for the NBA," says Australia's recently-minted San Antonio Spurs NBA champion point guard Patty Mills, who stands 183cm tall.
"Then when you add in his skill level, combine it with his ball handling and ability to shoot the ball and get to the rim, you know he will do well in the NBA."
There is speculation the Cleveland Cavaliers could use their No.1 pick on Exum at the draft.
If not, the Milwaukee Bucks may take him second.
The Philadelphia 76ers, coached by former Australian Boomers head coach Brett Brown, are almost certain to nab Exum third if he is still sitting on the shelf.
Exum can expect to sign a two-year contract worth close to $US9 million.
The corporate world has already bought in.
Exum has signed lucrative contracts with sportswear giant adidas, energy drink company Red Bull and trading card group Panini.
This is not extraordinary for a top three NBA pick on the eve of the draft who has played a year or four with an elite US college team.
But it is extraordinary for an 18-year-old from Australia who has scarcely been sighted in the US.
Exum opted not to play for a US college, so most NBA coaches, executives and scouts have never seen Exum play a game of five-on-five with their own eyes.
They may have seen him via grainy footage or on YouTube in games he played at the Australian Institute of Sport, for junior Australian team squads at world championships or last December when he led Canberra's Lake Ginninderra College to the national schools championship.
The big test for Exum came the past month when had private workouts with the Bucks, 76ers and owner of the fourth pick, the Orlando Magic.
Instead of Exum's stock dropping, his standing rocketed.
Not only did his jump shot perform, but he reportedly scored big in intelligence and psychological testing.
When the expected No.1 pick, University of Kansas centre Joel Embiid, fractured his foot, the Cavaliers invited Exum for a visit.
Guiding Exum along the way was his dad Cecil and mother Desiree.
US-born Exum Sr has walked a similar path to his son.
After playing alongside Michael Jordan at the University of North Carolina, he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 1984 then was recruited to play in Australia's NBL for the North Melbourne Giants, Melbourne Tigers and Geelong Supercats.
The Exums fell in love with Australia and decided to raise their three children, Dante, his twin sister Tierra and older brother Jamaar in Melbourne.
It was a decision that will likely give Australia its next sporting superstar.

Ricciardi: Doc not interested in extension
During a radio interview on The FAN590 prior to Thursday's Blue Jays-Indians tilt at Rogers Centre, general manager J.P. Ricciardi shed a little more light on why Toronto is suddenly willing to shop ace Roy Halladay.
"What's changed is Roy has told us that he's going to test the free-agent market," Ricciardi said.
Halladay is under contract for $14.25 million this season and $15.75 million in 2010, which is the final year under his current deal. The Blue Jays originally planned on discussing an extension with Halladay this coming offseason, but Ricciardi's comments make it clear that's not going to happen.
The chances of Toronto retaining Halladay seemed slim already, considering the fact that the club has trimmed its payroll and the pitcher has expressed that he wants to have a chance to play October baseball. With the Jays in fourth place in the AL East, and a rotation filled with injuries and young arms, contending soon doesn't seem realistic.
Halladay is scheduled to start for the Jays on Tuesday in Seattle and Ricciardi doesn't want the pitcher taking the mound with the thought that he might be traded in the following three days leading up to the July 31 Deadline. Ricciardi said Toronto's internal deadline of Tuesday is flexible, depending on how close the club might be to a deal.
"If we're down the road with something, obviously the deadline can fluctuate," Ricciardi told reporters earlier Thursday morning. "If we're not down the road by the 28th, nothing's going to happen."
The team considered to be the front-runner to land Halladay continues to be the Phillies. Even though Philadelphia is believed to be opposed to including top pitching prospect Kyle Drabek in a possible deal, the Blue Jays sent assistant general manager Tony LaCava to scout Drabek's latest start on Wednesday.
The Brewers are also considered to have serious interest in trading for Halladay. Other teams who have been tied to Halladay in various reports include the Dodgers, Cardinals, White Sox, Rangers, Red Sox and Yankees. Ricciardi said only a few teams have approached him with serious interest.
"Some are serious and some I would say are delirious," Ricciardi said during the radio interview.
11 Comments
Glad to hear the Brewers are still in the mix, but must include Matt Gamel and Alcides Escobar as a minimum start to the deal.
Rumors are that Scutaro, Frasor and Downs are also being offered. I would expect Wells, Rios, Bautista, Rolen, Overbay an Macdonald are also on the table.
Considering we will not compete next year, this is what should be happening, imo.
Gsays, I would have included Jeremy Jeffress in that deal too, but he is kinda head case and injured for the year I think. Escobar has some maturity problems I hear, but he has definately recieved glowing admiration from Baseball America. Wonder also if they are willing to part with young Canadian prospect Brett Lawrie? We aren't really looking for another 2nd baseman in our system, but the guy comes with high praise, even though he isn't overachieving in A-ball.
I could see that Halladay news coming, although I bet things would change if we actually competed in 2010!. Seems pretty unlikely now that we will do anything in that year – looking at the way Wells and Rios are swinging. And beyond for that matter – looking at their contracts. I don't see a trade as a great opporitunity to improve the team, but at least a chance to break even and give some hope for the distant future (i.e. when those enormous contracts play their course).
I would have rather had a deal come without all this hoopla, though. Now we know a deal needs to be done, and so does every other team in baseball. Good job J.P. I agree with Jeff Blair saying a team that SHOULD be trading with us is the Dodgers! Halladay would be downright nasty in that division! The Dodgers have a couple young pitchers, but nobody really wraking in the Minors. I heard some of their young talent already in MLB might be an option? I really liked James MacDonald coming into this year, but the young man needs to learn how to find the strike zone. That might come with time.
You might not find a bigger Halladay fan than me (i.e. I'm going to have change my screen name), but my outlook on the Jays future right now is bleak enough that it doesn't matter anymore. Deal or no deal. lol. Where is Howie Mandel? We are paying the ultimate price for our two underachieving 'so called' sluggers.
The rumor is, The Jays have asked for Lawrie and a pitcher ( but I have no idea who that is) along with Gamel and Escobar. I think the issue on Escobar is he's blocked by J.J. Hardy at the MLB level, and his hitting early in the year wasn't what it needed to be. But his hitting has improved, his defence is Gold Glove material and he's only 22.
My take is we're paying the price for our two under performers and the massive contracts we gave them. We're also paying the price for poor draft picks by JP. We have lots of kids in the minors, but few who can become bangers at this level and the few we do have aren't being promoted, instead we're playing a couple of losers called Millar and Delucci.
Why in **** are they recalling Inglett, what a waste of space move that is.
Dellucci was DFA'd after the game. Recalled Inglett.
I'm still wondering about Buck Coats myself.
From Bastian's twitter:
Writers crammed in an elevator, ran into JP and interviewed about earlier comments on Halladay.
Ricciardi: "I think I made this clear real early that Doc wanted to test the free-agent market. I think we said that all along."
Ricciardi: Halladay has given the Jays a list of teams he'd be willing to approve a trade to.
Anyone who's ever negotiated a business deal knows one never lies when one knows who ever you're talking to knows you're lying-like in JP's first statement.
And one never tells whoever you"re negotiating with, that the product-this case Halladay-tells you whom he'd be prepared to accept a trade to. You hold your cards close to your vest, keep your damn mouth shut and let the bidders make the offers.
Beeston, you'd better put a muzzle on this ******* before he screws up this organization more so than he already has. Putting JP in a room with guys like Cashman, Gillick,Theo Epstein, Doug Melvin or others to negotiate the Halladay trade is like throwing a kid that can't swim into a swimming pool full of sharks.
JP never knows when to shut up, he will screw this up and either get raped or not do a deal that would benefit the club and then simply say the offers weren't good enough. Please muzzle this ******* and handle this negotiation yourself.
Man I am starting to agree with all the JP detractors on these boards. That conversation today with all those references to "we've said all along" were just so bogus. In this day of youtube and cell phone video, people can't get away with that kind of duplicity. I guess keeping Doc is out of the question, so now it becomes how best to help ourselves WHEN we lose him. DARN!!!
Here you go, sports fans: The Mt Horeb Mustard museum in Mt Horeb Wisconsin was founded by Barry Levenson, a former Assistant DA for Wisconsin. It is based on a collection of prepared mustards he started in 1986 when he was despondent over the failure of The Boston Red Sox to win the World Series.
This is just to inform anybody who is despondent over the failure of the 1999 Blue Jays to win the World Series that there are a lot of positives to come out of failure. For those of you in need of a spiritual uplift, you can visit the museum website at: http://www.mustardweb.com/
Typo: Of course, I meant to say the 2009 Blue Jays. If anybody is still despondent over the failure of the 1999 Blue Jays to win the World Series, they are probably in need of something more than a little spiritual uplifting.
Looks like JP finally ********** the wrong player and now he has to eat his words.
Link from JB's Tweet
What an dumb ******* JP is. I didn't think Roy had said anything about anything. If Halladay did want to be traded and I don't think he does, he would make this request very discreetly and ask it be kept confidential knowing this public circus doesn't help the Jays or Roy Halladay.
In my view Roy Halladay is as classy a professional athlete there is and we're damn fortunate to have him as a Blue Jay. Both Roy and his wife represent the Jays in the best possible light, working with multiple charities and helping under privileged kids with class. When he pitches, he's the best there is, bar none.
The real questions in my mind is why did JP want to make this a public circus and why does he want to piss off Roy Halladay? What makes this jerk tick?
In my view, this has to be JP's final kick at this franchise. This idiot not only needs to be fired with just cause and never ever paid another Blue Jay penny, he needs his *** kicked out of town TODAY and Beeston needs to immediately name either Alex Anthopoulos or Tony LaCava interim GM.
In addition Beeston needs to personally take over any discussions of Halladay trades, although I can't imagine anything good at all coming from this 3 ring circus created by JP. I can also guarantee Halladay would never consider re-signing with the Jays if JP is still in charge-I mean would you?????
I knew it, I just knew JP was lying his ******* *** off again, I just knew it.

Rooting for Germany, but really my main concern is just that this semi produces the losing semi finalist. Should be a belter of a game. Not convinced by Spain in this tournament but they've done enough thus far.

Yeah that's my fear - I think it was Uppercut who said that Germany, as good as they've been, seem to be playing at maximum capacity whereas Spain have made it to the same point without ever nearing top form. The feeling is that Spain still have another gear or two to hit, whereas perhaps Germany have peaked.
Still fully behind Jerry though.
Germany 2
Spain 1
Germany to score first, Spain to draw level and Podolski to get the winner... in extra time.
inb4 Spain win 2 - 0.
Netherlands to win the whole fruit basket...and draw level with Eng and Fra.
Besides, even if Germany can't really get any better, they don't need to. If they match their last two performances, they'll win the vast majority of the time.
Last edited by Uppercut; 07-07-2010 at 09:01 AM.
So it wasn't you who said it then?
Agreed though - if Germany can produce another England/Argentina performance they'll win this.
It's ridiculous they don't take into account Australian timezones when setting these matches.
Rest In Peace Craigos
Move to a better country IMO.
Interesting selection bringing in Pedro.
So presumably Spain will now have zero players in the box when they're trying to walk it into the net. That is apart from the once in a while time they successfully walk it into the box obviously.

- to improve the user interface, and
- to maintain a consistent and reliable user experience, and to improve services by looking at what questions Creators are asking and the quality of their responses and response rates so that we can work on our existing features and build new ones to optimize question/answer rates for Creators.
For the above circumstances, where you are located in the European Union, SurveyMonkey Europe UC is a data controller of data about you to the extent that it is personal data and we describe how we process your data in more detail in our Privacy Policy. However, to the fullest extent possible we aggregate and anonymize data about you so that you are not identifiable.
Are your responses anonymous? This depends on how the creator has configured the survey, form, application or questionnaire. Contact them to find out, or click here to read more about respondent anonymity.
If you are a Panelist - you have signed up to take surveys relevant to you, as sent to you by SurveyMonkey or a SurveyMonkey customer. SurveyMonkey only allows people in the United States to sign up to SurveyMonkey's Contribute panel. For panel outside the United States, SurveyMonkey partners with various panel providers. We therefore have a separate privacy policy for people who reside outside the United States and who took a survey originating from our service. If you are one of these people you can click here to read the policy applicable to you. If you are in the United States – read on!
We do not sell your profile data to marketing firms! While we do provide some of your profile data to our customers who wish to deploy surveys, we do not sell it to marketing companies – we just allow our customers to send you surveys based on your profile suitability.
We do use and analyze usage data (page view data, response rates and metrics) to help ensure the surveys you are sent are more relevant to you, to improve the user interface and our services, to maintain a consistent and reliable user experience and to build new features. We use profile data to help us to improve the quality of our panel.
Responses you give.
We use responses you give to provide our other customers with more ways to reach the target demographic they want (e.g. by aggregating the data and identifying trends in survey taking). However, we do not give or sell your actual individual responses to anyone other than the customer that has sent you a survey. The data we provide to our other customers and third parties is aggregated and anonymous. Similarly, if you take one of SurveyMonkey's own in-house surveys we aggregate and anonymize any response data we share with or sell to third parties.

MICRO - The World's Smallest Universal Travel Adapter (Suspended)
We Believe Your Travel Adapter Should Be One Of The Coolest Gadgets You Own!
MICRO - The World's Smallest Universal Travel Adapter (Suspended)
We Believe Your Travel Adapter Should Be One Of The Coolest Gadgets You Own!
MICRO - The World's Smallest Universal Travel Adapter with Surge Protection - Compatible in over 150 countries on all 7 continents.
With Micro, you get the functionality of a universal travel adapter built into a cool design that matches the awesomeness of the gadgets you travel with. An adapter that's simple, yet versatile and that feels extremely familiar, as if you've already used it and loved it all your life.
MICRO is perfect for all your travel essentials.
Micro makes your travel experience easier. Much sleeker and a lot cooler-looking, Micro is hands-down the world's smallest and the best designed travel adapter you'll ever own.
"Different" and "new" is relatively easy. Doing something that's genuinely better is very hard! - Sir Jony Ive - Senior VP Design - Apple
Whether you are a business person with a small travel bag or a backpacker looking to minimize your travel load, Micro helps you stay light and ticks all the essential boxes with its innovative design and complete functionality.
The integrated casing covers any 3rd pin safely so you don't have to worry about exposed plug pins ever again!
The top and bottom release levers have 2 positions: locked and unlocked.To release a set of pins, slide the lever to the left (unlocked position).
To lock a set of pins in place (either in open or stored position), slide the release levers to the right.
The four faces of MICRO are everything you need in almost every country in the world!
The Americas and over 54 other countries - When you visit the United States, use the top lever to release the US pins, then lock them into position.
Australia and over 29 other countries - If you find yourself Down Under, use the top lever to release the US pins and twist them into position to match the Aussie socket type.
Europe and over 125 other countries - If you're traveling across Europe, use the bottom lever to release the European pins, then lock them into position.
UK and over 47 other countries - The additional modular pin, seamlessly built into the Micro design, allows you to plug into UK sockets without having to use knives, pens or other dangerous options. Simply remove the modular pin from its location, slide it into the designated slot and press the side grip to lock it into position. Use the bottom lever to release the European pins, lock them into position, and you're ready to plug your devices in the UK in seconds.
And when you're done, simply push to store and lock.
A power surge is a sudden spike in your home's or hotel's electrical current. The spike lasts less than a thousandth of a second, but it can be the end of your valuable devices.
With Micro, you no longer have to worry about a surge frying your devices. The built-in 6.3A fuse keeps your devices safe, wherever you might be...
Risks and challenges
Given the size of Micro, we had a very small space to manoeuvre all components into, integrate all the functions of a universal travel adapter and refine the design. We've faced many challenges so far but have done our due diligence to research, test and optimise all functions before going on to identify the most qualified manufacturer capable to deliver such an innovative product. At this stage, we need our minimum listed goal to fire the machines and bring Micro to life.
And this is where you come in. Mass production efficiency is a numbers' game, which means that the higher the demand/number of orders, the quicker we can start and scale production and optimise logistics accordingly.
Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations without compromising on the given timelines and the quality of the product. We promise to work like madmen, around the clock, until we will have delivered on that commitment.
Needless to say, we will maintain complete transparency and will communicate with you through all the campaign and manufacturing stages so you are aware of the progress every step of the way.
So if you love Micro, or just get a kick out of seeing the entrepreneurial spirit thrive, please back our campaign because only together we can take this amazing project to the next level!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

I don't. I can't. What? It's a light brown sofa for sale on Overstock.com named after the President of the United States of America. Great, so now fucking furniture is doing blackface? I love that we can't avoid this garbage even when we're shopping for hideous cheap furnishings. I JUST WANT TO PURCHASE A GODDAMNED DEEP DISCOUNT COUCH THAT ISN'T RACIST.
Interestingly, according to my reverse pic search, it looks like the couch was first for sale at Home Furniture Showroom, a Lowe's company. So, yeah, not some weird off-brand insanity, but from a division of an enormous national chain. Other couches on the site now are named things like "Delaney" and "Handy Couch", so the "Barack Light Brown Sofa" somehow seems even weirder.
Oh well, it'd probably still lead the country better than Romney could? So, at least there's that. (?) (???)

Event Details
April 21st, 2012 – 4 PM - 8 PM
Deep Ellum Brewing Company
2821 St. Louis Street • Dallas, TX 75226
We are expecting a capacity crowd.
129 jobs, 31 startup companies, 2 hours of recruiting and networking, and 2 hours of socializing and entertainment.
Introducing RoundUp for StartUps: a free, fun and innovative recruiting event to match great companies with great talent. From the community, for the community.
RoundUp for StartUps is open to everyone that is interested in joining growing and young technology and startup companies, from recent graduates to seasoned professionals. If you are a software/hardware/network/equipment/test/QA engineer, software programmers/developer, user interface and user experience (UI/UX) specialist, web/mobile designer, system administrator, project manager, or technical designer, this is your chance for a great career move. If your speciality is sales and marketing or business development, and you want to work with the next great North Texas startup, this is your chance to get involved. If you have a passion for what you do and are looking for a fulfilling position at an exciting young company, don't miss this event!
- 2 hours of social recruiting and networking. If an employer isn't a good match, you can always use the "it's not you, it's me" line.
- With the business portion complete, the band will kick-in so we can relax for 2 hours of catered food, fun, and drinks.
- Free registration, free food, free drinks. (Sure beats darts at the local watering hole. And you could get a great job out of it!)
Free Registration
*** Registration is Required ***
View Larger Map
Why did you create this event?
It was a problem that needed solving. Some of us (startups) were struggling to find, identify, and hire great talent. The problem wasn't an issue of compensation and benefits, or a lack of professional recruiters. The problem was that great talent was simply unaware of our great startups. So we've created a unique event to solve the problem.
The startup community is an engine of job growth for North Texas but we can't grow without great talent. If we don't invest in our own startup community as a group, then we'll continue to lose talent to the coasts and that will in turn affect the amount of capital that is contributed to these emerging opportunities in Dallas. Working to retain top talent for our local startup community helps ensure the "next big thing" will be a startup from Dallas, which will in turn benefit our local economy.
Who should attend this event?
Both tech grads and seasoned tech professionals who are looking for jobs in the technology and engineering fields:
software/hardware/network/equipment/test/QA engineers, software programmers/developers, user interface and user experience (UI/UX) specialists, web/mobile designers, system administrators, project managers, technical designers, etcetera. Nonetheless, if your speciality is sales and marketing and you want to work with the next great North Texas startup, this is your chance to get involved. If you want to work in a startup company, RSVP to our event.
Do I need to RSVP?
Yes, we will probably run out of room. We're expecting several hundred attendees. Please RSVP because we have to plan for the food and beer.
What is the dress code?
Be yourself. We expressly scheduled the event on a Saturday so you don't have to wear something dictated by a Corporate Dress Code.
Should I bring a resume?
No – we'd rather meet you in person, which is why we've gone through so much bother to create an event that you'll find both fun and useful to your career. If you have a URL that you'd like to share ahead of the event (GitHub, LinkedIn, etcetera), please provide it as part of our RSVP.
Is this a "job fair"?
The phrase "job fair" brings to mind queues of desperate people, commercial carpeting, fluorescent lighting, skirted conference tables, resumes, and uncomfortable shoes. We'd argue that calling this event a "job fair" is like calling a wedding a wake. Roundup for Startups may help match entrepreneurial companies with talent, but the event also provides a great opportunity to meet like-minded folks in the startup community, and a great evening of entertainment. C'mon, we've got a band and Circus Freaks! And we're hosting the event at a brewery....
Is there entertainment?
After the 2 hour recruiting and networking portion of the event concludes, the band will kick in and we can all enjoy some beverages, hors d'oeuvers and live entertainment. Did we mention that we have Circus Freaks too?
How/why does the startup sector contribute to the North Texas economy?
The startup community is an engine of job growth for North Texas but we can't grow without great talent. If we don't invest in our own startup community as a group, then we'll continue to lose talent to the coasts and that will in turn affect the amount of capital that is contributed to these emerging opportunities in Dallas. Working to retain top talent for our local startup community helps ensure the "next big thing" will be a startup from Dallas, which will in turn benefit our local economy.
What do you hope the end result will be?
The startup community is out to buck the unemployment trend and put Dallas on the map as a vibrant community for startups that has a plethora of jobs that need to be filled. We anticipate this will be a successful event that matches top talent with full-time, salaried jobs at first-rate startups. We are planning on making this an annual or bi-annual event.
Can my company participate?
Sure, provided we still have room. Your company must have immediate and near-term positions for which you'd hire. The positions must be located in the North Texas region or DFW metroplex. Company participation is free. If you'd like to be considered for inclusion, send a note to Chris Gay at email@example.com.
NOTE: To clarify, if your startup company is headquartered outside of the North Texas region, you can still participate. You must have a North Texas satellite office which you are staffing, or you must be hiring remote staff who will remain based in North Texas. Our objective is to create jobs in North Texas, and to encourage the overall startup economy here.
I'm interested in being a sponsor, who do I contact?
Please send a note to Chris Gay at firstname.lastname@example.com. We have a handful of highly-engaging sponsorship opportunities.
I work in the media. Who do I contact for press and media inquiries?
Leah Ekmark at C. Pharr & Company. (972) 931-7576 x22
Who was the event planner?
A special thanks to Green Bandana Group.
Why Join a Start-up?
You may wonder: "Is a start-up company a good fit for me?" That's a great question. Are you the trailblazing type or do you typically play it safe? By joining a start-up company, you'll have the opportunity to:
- Choose your own adventures
- Collaborate with other enthusiastic and clever people
- Solve real problems and get rewarded for real results
- Learn new technologies and processes
- Address emerging trends in society, business and technology
Remember, every groundbreaking and innovative company you follow in the news once began as a start-up!
Still undecided? If you've spoken with our participating companies and don't find one that suits you, you can always start your own!
Calling all techies for startup event.
Lakewood Advocate, March 22, 2012 – Hollywood Heights resident Chris Gay owns a tech startup, Zengine, a cloud software firm focused on the insurance business. It is Gay's second tech startup, and he noticed that he and his colleagues have a hard time recruiting employees. Not only do they compete for talent among themselves, they must also fight what Gay calls "the brain drain to the West and East coasts." In other words, the most talented programmers, engineers and other savvy techies from our area often are swooped up by firms in Silicon Valley or Massachusetts. | See entire article >
Hiring headaches lead to birth of startup recruiting event.
DallasNews.com, April 11, 2012 – Chris Gay, CEO of Zengine, organized the RoundUp for StartUps when he had trouble finding good IT employees. Dallas entrepreneur Chris Gay ran into an unexpected problem starting his second company: finding enough software engineers to hire. For a startup, hiring the right people to create a prototype or to get a product to market fast is crucial — especially in the fast-moving Internet world. | See entire article >

Developing a plan for healthy eating means setting goals, tracking
your progress, and rewarding yourself.
Set goals you want to achieve. It is generally best to set small,
measurable goals. You can set them on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. When
setting goals, consider:
One way to evaluate your progress is to start recording what you
eat in a food journal. People who keep track regularly may be more successful
at losing weight and keeping it off. (See the
food record form(What is a PDF document?).)
To help you track your progress:
When you reach one of your goals, reward yourself. Tie each reward
to a specific, measurable goal, such as eating 5 servings of fruits and
vegetables a day for 1 week.
But do not reward yourself with food. Go to the movies, buy new clothes, or
have a massage.

text: This incident happened about two months ago, at Coffee Day Square near UB City in Bangalore. I was there with two of my friends, and on the table next to us was a group which seemed to be having a business meeting. (This is quite common there; in fact every other table seemed to be a meeting-over-laptop affair.) Just a few minutes after we sat down, this happened: the other group linked hands around the table, and bowed their heads – as if in prayer. So I thought, okay, it must be a religious group. But that turned out not to be the case.

Trending: Where restaurants reign
It turns out the Bridgeport area is situated in the middle of a food oasis. With hundreds of restaurants sprinkled throughout the area, Fairfield County has the second highest ratio of restaurants to residents in the nation, second only to the San Francisco Bay Area.
Westport and Fairfield are prime examples of that statistic, which was published in a recent study conducted by the real estate website Trulia.
A Hearst Connecticut Newspapers analysis found that the town of Fairfield has the third highest concentration of restaurants per population in the area, with 9.1 eateries for every 10,000 residents, bringing it in a few spots behind No. 1 Westport, where the figure is 11.7 restaurants per 10,000 people.
To calculate these numbers, our analysis considered restaurants with full liquor licenses issued by the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection and population figures recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau.
"It's interesting; I would think Fairfield would be the one with the most restaurants per population, maybe just because it's a larger town," said Bill Taibe, who owns Westport restaurants Le Farm and The Whelk.
Recent changes in Westport's planning and zoning laws that have made it easier to bring new establishments into town probably have something to do with it, Taibe said.
Prior to July 2010, Westport's zoning regulations stated that an establishment could not have a bar where patrons could sit and order drinks within 1,500 feet of another establishment with such a bar. But after years of lobbying, that rule was overturned, leading to an influx of new places where people can grab a bite and a sip.
"I think this surge is new, and probably that's what's making it so visible that Westport has so many places," said Taibe.
But luring diners to one town in southwestern Connecticut with the promise of plentiful options for eating out is no small task, especially with a foodie mecca less than an hour away.
"A lot of times, I think people have this misconception that you have to go to New York City for amazing food, and what people don't realize is that Fairfield County has so many amazing restaurants that can absolutely compete with the best restaurants in Manhattan," said Kristen Del Ferraro, a local food blogger who founded the popular OmNomCT.com with her husband several years ago.
But clearly the number of restaurants in the area is indicative of a population that loves to eat out. Even small Fairfield County towns manage to stick out as having high numbers of restaurants in a region where the baseline bar is high. It's something restaurateur Sarah Boissou has noticed in her hometown of Ridgefield, where she and her husband own Bernard's as well as Sarah's Wine Bar.
"What we found when we moved here to open our restaurant was that it's a beautiful place to live and to have a business. I felt like I could see my future being here," Boissou said. "It was the charm of the town that brought us here -- not necessarily running the numbers of what people earn and all that."
Charm is great. But when it comes down to it, planting yourself in a place where families have plenty of disposable cash is a must for any restaurateur who wants to survive in an industry with an infamously high failure rate. Indeed, most of the metropolitan areas ranked near the top in Trulia's analysis are well-to-do areas, from San Francisco at No.1 to Fairfield County at No. 2, Long Island at No. 3, the New York City area at No. 4 and Seattle at No. 5.
Each of these top-tier food towns boasts a median household income well above the Fairfield County average of $82,614, with Westport's coming in 85 percent higher at $152,586. While some of the area's larger towns and cities have more restaurants in raw numbers, they don't stack up against these small towns' ratios once the number of residents is factored in.
"Westport is an attractive place for someone who wants to open a restaurant," said Taibe. "There's a lot of money in this town, and that's obviously where you'd want to open a restaurant -- someplace where there's a focus on luxury items as opposed to necessity items."
And with the restaurant pool growing nonstop, the options can seem endless for food connoisseurs searching for their new favorite haunt.
"It can be tough," said Dan Del Ferraro, the other half of the OmNomCT blogging brain trust.
"Week by week, we have a to-do list for restaurants we want to try, and each week it grows by at least five restaurants," he said. "It's out of control.
"But I feel like the restaurants that we want to try and we get around to -- the ones that stay are really great. They're places that capture people's attention; people love the food, the creativity and that they're treated well and I think those places stay around."

Citron: They'll join the high fliers!
Summit County has been blessed with one of the most forward thinking, progressive and innovative alternatives for providing the new-world education our children require and deserve today. As the end of inaugural year of The Peak School approaches, the "experiment" that the first group of Peak students have bravely undertaken has proven to be an overwhelming success. As the proud parents of the youngest Peak School student, my wife and I have found the small class sizes, personalized teaching style, and the curriculum ideally matched to the needs of our child. Indeed, there is no question that The Peak School is the ideal fit for any child, from those who may have experienced learning challenges that have made them less open to learning to those who have an innate thirst for knowledge. This school is not only preparing our children for the challenges of college and careers but is also creating compassionate and enthusiastic community members.
If it were free, I cannot imagine anyone not wanting their child to experience what our daughter has over the past 7 months. The financial strain is a challenge that many of The Peak School families are not taking lightly, but the benefits far outweigh the sacrifices. The way our family has looked at it is that the cost of our daughter's future, which realistically equals what we paid for her day care as an infant, is well worth the investment and the personal sacrifices we have made. It might be hard for some to justify paying for education, especially since we are already paying for public education through our taxes, but there is no value that can be placed on providing the absolute highest level of education for our children. Financial assistance is available, locking in now guarantees a set price for the duration of your child's education, and those who say they cannot afford it today should take a look as you never know what the future may bring! As the school continues to grow and make its mark in our community we can't wait to see what kind of amazing adults the Peak school will produce. Oh, the places they will go.
Lisa and Jeff Citron, Silverthorne
