Posted by: Steve Andreas in: Articles, NLP Methods
A friend of mine who has Lyme disease wrote me recently, saying:
"So good to hear from you. I've thought of calling to ask if you have any special ideas or resources for dealing with the Lyme beast."
I answered her as follows (edited):
A. Notice the image in your mind as you think of the word "beast." Calling Lyme a "beast" probably makes it appear larger and more powerful than it really is, and probably more powerful than you are. If you were battling the beast that you see in your mind, would you win or lose?
What happens in your experience when you use some other word (and image) to describe Lyme disease? It is actually caused by very tiny little bacteria (with a really dorky name, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto!) and it is only by a lot of them working together and ganging up on you that they can make your body sick. Using a different word (and image) for these little critters is likely to result in a more positive attitude.
Then you could go on to contemplate how your body could confuse these little bacteria, and sow dissension among them, so they can't work together. When they are disorganized, your immune system can pick them off one by one. Do you know the story of Sergeant York, in WWI?
B. There is Connirae's natural healing process in our book, Heart of the Mind chapter 20: "Engaging Your Body's Natural Ability to Heal." This process relies on the submodality codings that you already use to represent healing naturally, engaging the resources of your unconscious mind directly. This can be much more effective than a conscious "positive attitude."
C. Here is another thing to try. I have not tested it, nor verified it, but it is something that I do naturally. It can change your outlook, and I'm very sure it can't hurt.
1. First think of, and make a long written list of, all the sicknesses, injuries, and ailments of all kinds that you have recovered from successfully over the years, from little scrapes to potentially life-threatening ones.
2. Make a brief movie of each item on your list, from its onset, through healing and resolution. Then choose a still image from the movie to serve as an icon for the whole movie, just as an icon on a computer gives you easy access to the information that appears when you click on it.
3. Put all those icons into a large, close, colorful, simultaneous collage directly in front of you, so that when you focus on an icon, the movie plays. As you allow your eye to wander across the collage, each icon can burst into the brief movie of healing that it represents. This creates an experience and reminder of how effective your body is at healing itself from all sorts of illnesses and injuries.
Put all the individual movies together into a long sequential movie that loops back at the end to the beginning, and start it playing endlessly in the back of your mind, where it won't interfere with whatever else you are doing during the day.
Put these movies together in any other way that is natural for you, in order to create a comprehensive database of all the times that you your body has successfully healed, and recovered from, an illness or injury.
Whether or not either of these options has any direct effect on the illness itself, at the very least it is likely to alter your state for the better, and that will have an indirect positive effect on your health. Feeling better is a benefit in itself, even if it doesn't directly affect the disease, and there is pretty good research that your feelings affect the functioning of your immune system and overall health and resilience.
Although the last option (C) is something that I have personally done for years (At 75, I am healthy and not taking any medications—but of course I could just be lucky—one third of the people my age in the US are already dead.), I haven't tested it thoroughly by teaching it to others, to find out how well it works for them. If you use it, I would appreciate your letting me know what you experience, and/or any questions you might have.
Thanks Steve for sharing your loving, thoughtful and practical suggestions for your friend. I am sure they will be of benefit to many people regardless of their illness.
It seems to me that although the blog makes the focus of attention the metaphor "beast" and the notions of illness/healing, most of what you suggest obliquely addresses your friend's metaphor "dealing with". In other words, their relationship with their illness.
Apparently, 'deal' has Germanic origins, meaning either to part (as in separate/distribute) or to participate (as in relate to/act on). Already that suggests to me some different ways of perceiving the situation:
– How do I part myself from (the effects of) this illness, or vice versa? ('myself' either being my body or my identity, for the latter the old Psychosynthesis meditation, "I am not my …" would seem appropriate)
– How do I participate in this natural process which (from my perspective) has got out of balance. (Even a healthy person's body contains more non-human cells than human cells – without which we couldn't live).
Taking the above as frames, it would be possible to devise a number of exercises giving a person the chance to experience different ways of "dealing with" their illness, out of which a new relationship could emerge.
Just some thoughts that came to mind as I read your blog. Keep them coming, they are rare gems.
All the Best, James
Steve Andreas16|May|2011 2
Yes, of course, the focus is really on the person's relationship to
the disease or illness (and whether or not the relationship is
empowering); thanks for pointing this out.
Changing the metaphoric representation of the illness from a "beast"
to something less menacing results in a change in relationship.
And creating a database or category of all the times someone's body
has healed itself changes the person's representation of their own
capacities, also changing the relationship.
I'd be interested in a sample or two of the kind of exercises you
propose for experiencing "different ways of 'dealing with' their
illness, out of which a new relationship could emerge," because I'm
not sure what you have in mind.
Steve Andreas
Thank you for posting this article Steve. I am a recent graduate of counseling/psychology, and have found that NLP has been so useful with my clients. Sadly, they do not teach NLP as part of the core theories in school. I'm so glad that I've found your site because you provide such useful information to those who really want to learn a unique therapy.
Steve, am I correct in thinking that your personal version uses a robust database structure, including any counter-examples that didn't heal completely with a go-to to how you would LIKE them to heal completely?
Steve Andreas21|Oct|2011 5
Yes. Well said.

If you've not heard about Northern State coach Don Meyer's recent challenges, here's a short article that will bring you up to speed.
Coach Meyer, who is 63, is a coaching legend. In fact, during the two weeks since his car accident, I've received literally dozens of emails from other coaches who've been touched by him during his long career.
What's most interesting is that everyone I've traded emails, texts, and phone calls with about Coach Meyer had less to say about his achievements on the court -- which are many and remarkable -- and more to say about how he influenced them away from basketball.
And I'm certain that's how Coach Meyer would want it.
There was a good feature story about Coach Meyer last year in an Aberdeen, S.D., magazine that really captured what he's all about. Here's an excerpt from that article:
Coach Meyer's coaching philosophy emphasizes the development of discipline, loyalty to teammates, and a fierce work ethic. There's also a unique approach to being a player-leader that Meyer calls servant-leadership. Servant-leaders, Meyer says, are ready to work hard alongside everybody else, including the people they lead.
"A real leader," he explains, "serves others rather than having others serving him. With that in mind, we work on the important things that make you a better person, teammate and leader as well as a better basketball player. The wins take care of themselves."
Meyer's demeanor during practices and games ranges from fiery to contemplative. He's icy serious as he stalks the sideline, staring, gesturing, talking and shouting at his charges. In his hand is the ever-present micro-cassette recorder, a device of choice for taking notes.
Always the teacher, he encourages, instructs and motivates.
And after years of experience, teaching comes to him easily, intuitively. He knows how to correct mistakes without belittling a player, or how to compliment an athlete without swelling his ego. He can be intimidating to a young man unaccustomed to his silent pondering in the midst of conversation.
This is a man whose distinct, rough voice when directed at his players can be heard above the din at feverish Wachs Arena. In the locker room after a difficult loss he has openly wept, feeling lousy for his players who worked hard only to fall short on the scoreboard.
That sort of emotional display rallies his players and inspires loyalty. The man knows basketball, but his big heart becomes apparent, and for many players it is a part of him that overshadows even his considerable coaching skills.
What sort of young man does Coach Meyer recruit?
"I want kids we'll enjoy coaching," he says. "I look for toughness, intelligence, and a willingness to be part of a team. We also want kids who will be a good fit at our school and in our community."
"He's a unique guy, that's for sure," [one former player who is now an assistant on his staff] says of Meyer. "He's smart and tough, but you figure out in a hurry that he really cares for his players. On the court, in practice or in games, he knows how to push the competitive buttons in you. He becomes like a father-figure for his players, and that tough-love personality changes once you know him off the basketball court."
[The player] described frequent visits by the team to Meyer's home for team dinners or gatherings where players saw the more relaxed side of their coach. "He's quite hilarious, really funny, and I've gotten to know that side of him even more as an assistant coach. He knows that there must be a boundary between himself and the players, but as an assistant coach I've gotten to know how fun-loving he is."
This year's team is young and inexperienced. It opened strong but has suffered inconsistencies after the holiday break. Meyer hates losing, but is philosophical about it.
"We're playing hard. And it's rewarding to see how a team handles tough times," he says. "One of the best lessons as an athlete is learning how to lose. Being a gracious winner is also a big lesson. But think about what Rudyard Kipling said. If you learn how to deal with winning and losing and treat those two imposters the same, than you'll be a better person, a richer man."
In Meyer's cramped Barnett Center office are stacks of brochures, leaflets and loose papers brimming with inspirational quotes and stories. He snatches several and hands them to me, suggesting they are useful. A religious man, Meyer has included many biblical quotations on these sheets.
Despite focusing so much of his life on college basketball, Meyer acknowledges the supportive role of competitive athletics in our lives.
"There is too much emphasis on sports, particularly gamblers trying to make money from sports," Meyer says. "The aspects of sports that are most important aren't monetarily inclined. There is great value by being part of a team, from learning how to work with a team. There's nothing like sharing the good times and the bad times with teammates. I've coached a lot of games, but it's the personal relationships I remember most. Sports, like other activities such as drama, music, and the arts can lead to great team experiences."
College athletes, according to Meyer, enjoy special advantages. "They learn discipline, commitment and how to budget their time. These things make you a better student. They also learn to compete in the classroom, and not against their classmates, but to get the best grades they can get."
Basketball happens to be Don Meyer's occupation. He coaches the game, sells his own line of videotapes to help players and coaches, and promotes his own camps for coaches and players.
But if you pull the ball from his hands and lift the whistle from around his neck you can put Meyer's life into clearer perspective.
Don Meyer invests a good deal of personal energy into self-discipline and an ongoing journey toward self-betterment. You can appreciate how those characteristics cannot help but become fused with his coaching style. Ultimately, he expects a great deal from his players, just as he expects a great deal from himself.
It has nothing to do with basketball. And it has everything to do with basketball.

The Reason for the New Blog Title
I've copped a little bit of flak for the new blog title, and admittedly, I almost changed it to something a little more palatable. However, I've decided to live with it for a few months and see how it fits. In this post, I thought I'd tell you why I called my blog "The Shit I Know" instead of something less confronting like "My Writing Blog" or "I Write".

I've had this for over 20 years, and only recently received a letter from my GP stating that I am overdue a blood test for my thyroid function. (Yes, about 20 years worth)
Then she went on to say it is very important that this is done on an annual basis. Ha! Doctors - you just gotta love them! Glad I'm still functioning and was utterly clueless (through no fault of mine) that this should be done on a yearly basis.

Ribadu Reveals Names of People Against Anti Corruption War
Speaking under the theme "Corruption and the Nigerian Economy: Lawyers as Change Agents", Mr. Ribadu named foremost lawyer, Ben Nwabueze, former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Michael Aondoakaa, and his successor at the EFCC, Farida Waziri, as those who undermined Nigeria's efforts to fight corruption.
"I still recall with amazement and shock how some very senior lawyers made it a duty upon themselves to bring down the EFCC and stop the work we were doing. Many of them, like Prof. Ben Nwabueze, SAN, teamed up with politicians to wage a very serious propaganda to discredit the work we were doing," he said.
He also said Mr. Nwabueze personally went to court on many occasions to challenge the powers of the EFCC to fight corruption.
"One thing that also did a serious damage to the war against corruption was the active connivance of some senior lawyers who represented the governors we charged to courts after the 2007 election," he said.
"It is on record that we charged the former governors of Jigawa, Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau, Enugu, Ekiti, Delta, Abia and Edo states as the first set of ex-governors to face prosecution. However, almost 10 years after most of the cases have not gone anywhere because of deliberate action by lawyers to frustrate the trials," he said.
Mr. Ribadu spoke on Thursday when he presented the lead paper at the 2016 Annual Lecture organised by the Law Chambers of Joe Kyari Gadzama in Abuja.

Follow this event on Twitter: @TheUKRED
On Friday, 25 February 2011, the RED team will be hosting a workshop designed specifically for teachers in Higher Education. The purpose will be to explore how RED can be used by students in a range of academic disciplines, as well as in attendees' own research projects. For example, data in RED can form part of a study of the reception of literary texts; it can help us understand the role of printed material in shaping popular ideas and opinions; and it offers information about what people in the past read, how and in what circumstances they read, what impact their reading had on them, and how the experience of reading changed over time. The workshop will include a demonstration of RED, and hands-on activity sessions using primary materials to show how users can explore RED, and contribute evidence to it themselves. There will be opportunities to discuss how RED can help train students in the use of digital resources in the humanities. Further details are given in the draft programme below.
The event will be held at The Open University in London, 1–11 Hawley Crescent, Camden Town, London, NW1 8NP, Room 2. The workshop is free, but numbers are limited, and it is advisable to book early. For travel directions see this map (click on 'Local OU regional and national centres', then 'London').

Richard Leiby's profile in tomorrow's Washington Post is going to make it harder for his critics to continue their smear campaign:
His fingers threaded a string of ornate black worry beads, common in the Arab world. They're from his days in Baghdad, where he was acting U.S. ambassador. In 1990, while sheltering more than a hundred Americans at the U.S. embassy and diplomatic residences, he briefed reporters while wearing a hangman's noose instead of a necktie — a symbol of defiance after Saddam threatened to execute anyone who didn't turn over foreigners.
The message, Wilson said: "If you want to execute me, I'll bring my own [expletive] rope."
This toughness impressed the first President Bush, who called Wilson a "truly inspiring" diplomat who exhibited "courageous leadership" by facing down Saddam and helping to gain freedom for the Americans before the 1991 war began.And this:
Wilson may laugh now, but in the eyes of hostages, he was a hero. "He stuck his neck out in our behalf … He worked so hard to keep us from falling apart," recalled Roland Bergheer, 75, a Bechtel Corp. manager who was trapped in Baghdad.
A conservative who lives in Las Vegas, Bergheer added: "I love Joe Wilson. … I don't give a damn what his politics are."
Leiby also notes that Wilson began his foreign service as a "general services officer" in Naimey, Niger. Let's see — service in Niger, distinguished service in a Baghdad showdown with Saddam Hussein … yeah, it must be nepotism for him to get picked to investigate Iraqi activities in Niger.
UPDATE: The story is now online.

"I didn't get the HPV vaccine because…" "I won't have my daughter vaccinated against HPV because…" There are many "reasons" why women choose not to be, or have their daughters, vaccinated against HPV. Women have plenty of excuses to opt out, though very few actual reasons to do so. To dispel some of the most common excuses, we sat down with Dr. Mark DeFrancesco of Westwood Women's Health to get the facts on HPV, the vaccine, and cervical cancer.
WHC: Let's start from the top. Many women don't know what HPV is. "I don't know what HPV is, so why do I need a vaccine", sounds like a valid reason.
Dr. DeFrancesco: HPV, the human papillomavirus virus, is the cause of a sexually transmitted infection that can infect the genital areas, mouth and throat of men and women. There are over 40 types of HPV and collectively they make up the most common STI. HPV is dangerous because some types can also cause cervical cancer and other cancers that could involve the vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and oropharynx (back of the throat). In addition, many types may cause genital warts.
WHC: So if HPV causes an STI, can women skip the vaccine and just use protection?
Dr. DeFrancesco: There are many reasons why protection is not enough. First, no protection if 100% effective in preventing STIs. Using condoms does decrease the chance of getting infected, but does not eliminate it. Additionally, sexual contact might include oral sex, where protection is most often not used.
WHC: Protection isn't 100%, but neither is the HPV vaccine, right? You said there are over 40 types of HPV. Some women say one of the reasons they don't get the vaccine, is because it only protects against a small percentage of HPV types.
Dr. DeFrancesco: There are two HPV vaccines: Cervarix and Gardasil. Both vaccines protect against two types of HPV (16 and 18). Though these two types only represent 5% of all HPV types, they are known to cause 70% of cervical cancer, 60% of vaginal cancers, 40% of vulvar cancers, and 80% of anal cancers. In addition, Gardasil, the most commonly distributed HPV vaccine, prevents an additional two forms of HPV (6 and 11), which are proven to cause 90% of genital warts.
WHC: You say this vaccine will prevent 70% of cervical cancer. Some women who believe that regular pap smears will catch cervical cancer before it forms. So if women have regular pap smears, do they really need to worry about another way to prevent cervical cancer?
Dr. DeFrancesco: Almost half of all women who are diagnosed with cervical cancer have had their regular pap smears, but no test is perfect and it is possible that even a properly performed Pap smear may miss signs of it.
WHC: What would you say to women who know HPV is dangerous, know the vaccine can prevent cervical cancer, but still do not want to get the vaccine for themselves or their daughters because it is a new vaccine that hasn't been tested "enough"?
Dr. DeFrancesco: More than 46 million doses have been distributed in the six years since the vaccine was approved by the FDA and there is no proven causal link between the vaccine and serious adverse effects. Prior to approval, HPV vaccines were studied in thousands of people in many countries around the world, including the United States. These studies showed no serious safety concerns, and found that both HPV vaccines were safe.
WHC: Another reason parents aren't vaccinating their daughters has been in the news recently. They are concerned vaccinating young girls against an STI will promote promiscuity.
Dr. DeFrancesco: Using a seat belt doesn't give one permission to have an accident. If you have this kind of concern for your daughter, it's a good time to talk to her about the consequences of intercourse like HPV, other STIs, and unwanted pregnancy.
WHC: Similarly, some women believe people only get HPV and other STIs if they have multiple partners.
Dr. DeFrancesco: This is a common misconception about all STIs. You can get an STI through one sexual encounter. And HPV is the most common STI. It's so common, studies have shown that about 80% of ALL people will contract HPV before age 30. It can also be contracted by any sexual skin to skin contact, not just by sexual intercourse. Even if you only have one sexual partner, there is no way to be absolutely sure he doesn't have HPV. Furthermore, HPV can go dormant. Therefore, even if someone has tested HPV negative, it doesn't mean they are clear.
WHC: What about parents who think 11 or 12 years old is way too young for their daughters to be vaccinated because they aren't sexually active?
Dr. DeFrancesco: It's important to get vaccinated before girls/women become sexually active. HPV is the most common STI and can be transmitted in just one sexual encounter.
Hopefully, we have cleared up some confusion about the HPV vaccine. More importantly, we hope we've addressed your excuses, and you will get vaccinated if you are in the right age group , or have your daughters vaccinated if they are. There are no excuses to skip the HPV vaccine. It is the first vaccine in the world proven to prevent cancer! Since January is Cervical Cancer Awareness month, it's the perfect time to schedule an appointment for the vaccine. Call your doctor TODAY!

Recent revelations of NSA prove that nowadays it is even more important than it used to be to hide all kinds of personal data that you might share on the web. It is more vital than ever to try and keep for yourself information that you think that is really important for you and if this information was published someone could use it against you.
It is absolutely sure that in the era we live in nothing can be taken for granted and so nothing can be considered as safe. But what happens if the lifestyle of yours demands the publishing of private information or photos? In this case, you should not worry about it anymore, because there are ways and tricks that you can use and they can definitely help you. 3 of the best ways are offered to you right away!
1st Way: Private Browsing Windows
If you are used to popular options such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or any other kind of browser, it is sure that they include an extra feature with the name Private Browsing or Incognito mode. It is an action that will help you a lot toward feeling and actually being safe from third parties. If you press such buttons, you will see that a new tab will open automatically.
This tab is separate from your favorite browser and everything that you search through it is not recorded plus it does not allow any other web page to track you. It is definitely the most famous way that a great percentage of people use, not only for the privacy that it offers but also for acting against malware as it is really difficult to get a virus by using it.
2nd Way: Privacy Settings and Social Network
Any kind of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and others is constantly a target for NSA and other similar agencies. Do not wonder why, because if you take a moment to think you will realize, without being a computer genius, that it is the easiest way for them to gather almost all of your personal information without any kind of special effort.
They consist for sure a really sure way for the government to get a glimpse at your personal life and while they are doing that they are able even to use the information against you, in case it seems necessary for them. So, each kind of social media platform you are a part in, you need to know that it has got its own privacy settings.
Believe it that if you spend some minutes to read them, it will not be a waste of time. These will for sure be the most precious moments that are able to protect you from anyone and from the government too.
3rd Way: Hide Your Communications
VPN is for sure the surest way that anyone can use as an individual or a businessman to "move" through the web in an invisible mode. It is certainly a way that people who have been facing the same kind of problem have created.
It is a network that allows you to browse yourself through every web page that you want, even if your country does not allow it. Apart from that, it is sure the best way to use for keeping your computer or laptop "healthy". When someone uses the term "healthy", he means that VPN services offer so strong firewalls that nothing can pass through them without an approval.
Use any of the above ways or even all of them and you will see that nothing will stop you. You will have the ability to enter to websites without the fear of some malware and of course without the fear of becoming a victim of stolen identity. Ambitious hackers will not have the chance to harm you and this is something that you will definitely appreciate.

Natrona School District Budget Adjusts to New Realities
The Natrona County School Board approved a new budget Thursday, for the 2016-2017 school year.
The NCSD budget reflects the impact of a 1% reduction in state funding included in the Wyoming State budget that was adopted by the legislature earlier this year.
"The Wyoming Legislature continues to be very supportive of education through state funding. They have asked us to operate on 1% less in the year ahead. Natrona County School District is prepared to do our part given the current state of Wyoming's economy," stated Board Chair Kevin Christopherson.
The District's General Fund budget, for next year, reflects an overall year over year reduction of $4.4 million dollars or 2.1%. This includes the 1% reduction in state funding and the planned completion and winding down of district projects and programs.
"We began preparing for this budget eighteen months ago when the state economy turned down. Every position was examined as it became vacant, allowing us to reduce staffing through attrition thus avoiding layoffs at this time." commented Board Treasurer Paula Reid.
The budget has been balanced through the elimination of seventeen district-level positions through attrition not layoffs, reductions in operating budgets, and continued efforts, previously underway, to improve operational efficiency.
The budget also includes the completion of the construction projects underway. These projects are funded by state and local resources set aside in previous years. This budget reflects the District's and State's commitment to the completion of these projects. You can read the budget in detail by clicking HERE.

Department of Social Services
South Dakota's Department of Social Services Division of Child Support (DCS) helps parents establish child support orders and enforce those orders. DCS services are available for anyone who has custody of a child, but parents who receive public assistance are automatically referred for DCS services. If you pay support directly to your ex-spouse without state intervention, your ex-spouse would have to register for DCS services before she can receive DCS help in enforcing your child support order.
Income Withholding
Many child support orders include a provision that requires your employer to take child support directly from your paycheck, but your income can also be withheld if you owe past-due support. DCS can issue an order requiring your employer to withhold a portion of your pay, including your current child support payments and payments on your past-due amount. If you are unemployed, the amount can be deducted from your unemployment compensation. These income-withholding orders may be the first step of collection efforts when you don't pay your child support.
License Restrictions
When income withholding or other enforcement efforts do not work, DCS may pursue restrictions on your driver's license, hunting and fishing licenses or professional licenses. DCS has authority to restrict these licenses without court intervention, so your ex-spouse won't necessarily have to go to court to get your license revoked. However, DCS will not restrict your license unless you owe at least $1,000 in back child support and have not made any payments for three months or have at least three months of past-due support.
Restriction Process
Before your license is restricted, DCS will notify you in writing about the pending restriction. Before DCS will remove the restrictions, you must pay the entire past-due amount or create a payment plan. If you create a payment plan but fail to make payments as scheduled, DCS can request a full revocation of your license.

How to Make Mozzarella Cheese
Once you have learned how to make mozzarella cheese you are in for an incredible homemade treat that will taste better than anything you can purchase at the supermarket. Although the process will take a few hours, the steps are relatively simple and the results are worth all of your time and effort.
The most important thing is to find the best whole milk possible. Milk from water buffaloes makes the best mozzarella but, because this is difficult to find, look for local cow's milk that has not been homogenized. Homogenizing milk makes it almost impossible to make good mozzarella cheese. Unpasteurized milk is also preferred, but difficult to find unless you live near a dairy producing area.
Other important ingredients for making mozzarella are:
- Liquid cheese-making rennet
- Citric acid
Both of these are relatively simple to purchase online. You should be able to find citric acid at your grocery store in the canning supplies section. Liquid rennet can be found through the following resources:
How to Make Mozzarella Cheese
Before you begin making mozzarella gather all of your needed equipment:
- A thermometer that starts at 80 degrees F
- An eight quart stainless steel pot
- One large glass bowl
- A stainless steel slotted spoon
- Cheesecloth
- 1 gallon organic, non pasteurized milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons citric acid
- 1/4 tablet vegetable rennet, crushed and dissolved in 1/4 cup of cold water, or 1/2 teaspoon liquid rennet
- Sea salt
- Pour the milk into a stainless steel pot over low heat.
- Stir in the citric acid and slowly heat the milk to 95 degrees F.
- Take the milk off the heat and stir in the dissolved rennet or liquid rennet. Stir continuously for 30 seconds and then let the milk sit for three minutes without stirring.
- During this period the curds will separate from the whey. While still in the pot, run a sharp knife through the curds horizontally and vertically into 1/2-inch cubes, making certain to cut all the way to the bottom of the pot.
- At this point place your pot into a sink full of hot water and wait until the temperature of the milk is approximately 98 degrees F, stirring the curd gently for about 15 minutes.
- After it reaches the correct temperature, continue to stir the curds for about 20 more minutes.
- Line a large colander with cheesecloth and gently spoon the curds into the colander, draining as much of the whey as possible from the curds.
- Drain the curds for 15 minutes and then tie the ends of the cheesecloth together and hang over a bowl or a sink to drain for another 10 minutes.
- Put this mass of curds into a large bowl and cut into 1/2-inch slices, then cut the slices into strips.
- Put about one quarter of the curd strips into a microwave-safe bowl and heat until the curds begin to melt.
- Remove the cheese from the microwave and start kneading the cheese with your hands until it comes together like a bread dough. While kneading, add a pinch of salt.
- When the cheese begins to form a ball, shape it into a nice, neat round shape until the outside is smooth and shiny. Transfer to another bowl filled with salted ice water (about two teaspoons of salt to one cup of water) and let sit until it cools and is ready to eat.
- Follow the same directions to form a total of four mozzarella balls.
Tips for Making the Best Mozzarella
Although making mozzarella is a relatively straightforward process, here are some tips that will ensure success:
- When kneading, work the cheese as little as possible, and stretch the curds before you shape them into a ball.
- Cooking the curds at a higher temperature will result in a drier mozzarella. The lower the heat the more moist your cheese will become.
- When working with the curds, don't squeeze the curd or all of the wonderful cream will ooze out.
Uses for Homemade Mozzarella
There are hundreds of uses for homemade mozzarella, ranging from eating it fresh with a little olive oil, salt and sliced tomatoes, to using it in cold hors d'oeuvres for a party. Consider the following ideas:
- Top sliced and toasted French bread with mozzarella and tapenade.
- Make a fresh salad out of small cubes of mozzarella, basil, tomatoes and drizzle with a little olive oil and finish with salt and pepper.
- Add to sandwiches, burgers and pizza.
- Bread and fry for a homemade twist on cheese sticks.

Derakashani in New York Times: "America at its Best Reflects Values of Chess."
International Master Dorsa Derakashani wrote an op-ed for the New York Times over New Year's Day weekend, where she explained why she left her native Iran to attend college at Saint Louis University and play for the US Chess Federation, ""America at its best reflects the best values of chess. Chess doesn't care how old you are or what you wear. It doesn't care about what gender you are, or how much money you have…It cares only about merit.That's why I'm applying for United States citizenship and why I hope to someday represent this country in the Olympics. And it's why barring people from the game based on their ethnicity, religion or clothing is so wrong."
Derakashani also says that she was happy to "join the U.S. federation in a matter of weeks — a rarity and something I remain deeply grateful for."

Clark Foyster Austria Trip 2015
August 26th, 2015 by
A visual snippet from the CF trip to Austria earlier this Summer – tasting, lunching, vineyard frolics and lots of fun.
After an early start at Heathrow and arrival into a Sunny Vienna, stop number one was at Manfred and Renate Felsner's. Time to stretch our legs with a hike up a vineyard before an idyllic tasting and lunch under the shade of parasols. Whites were the focus here – spicy Grüners and zesty Rieslings- and our first schnitzel of the trip, homemade and delicious, with a particularly peppery herb salad I seem to remember.
Moving swiftly along from Kremstal into the Wachau, to visit the famous Hirtzberger Family – son and winemaker, Franz, greeted us at the winery door and off we hiked – again – up a very steep hill in what felt like a 40 degree heat – to the prized Singerriedel vineyard… Seamus Sharkey of Restaurant Story putting us all to shame sprinting up those amazingly steep slopes! 🙂 Look at that view, no wonder the wines made here, exuding their beautiful origins, are amongst the very finest of Austria!
A tour of the winery and impressive wine library, and then into Hirtzberger's swish tasting room to sample a world-class line up… Lance concentrating below against a backdrop of golden holiness.
From the Wachau we moved to Kamptal, to the last visit of the day at the iconic Schloss Gobelsburg Estate where owner and winemaker, Michael Moosbrugger, showed us around his winery cellar which brimmed with monastic history. We tasted through the range, including our first reds of the trip, upstairs in a rather fancy function room, captivated by Michael's detailed approach and explanations.
And what a joy not to have to rush away from the Gobelsburg paradise that evening! Dinner al fresco in their fairytale gardens, looked after by Michael (shown below) and his charming wife, Eva. Many courses; many wines! Older single vineyard wines flowing freely made for quite the evening. Riesling Gaisberg Alte Reben 97 sticks in my mind… as well as a magical moon shining above! So beautiful.
Bright and early the next morning we were back in Kremstal, out exploring the vineyards of Rainer Wess and Stadt Krems. The smart and newly refurbished Stadt Krems winery was a super spot to sit down and taste through their wines. Fantastically ripe, spicy and energetic – Austrian whites in all their glory. Followed, of course, by more yummy schnitzel and traditional potato salad.
Before we knew it we were back on the bus and driving South to Burgenland. Our first stop in red wine country was at boutique winery – Moric – to get a feel for his internationally renowned Blaufränkisch Project. Tasting from barrel in the winery and a visit to the Lutzmannsburg plateau, looking across the blustery vineyard plane towards Hungary. Winemaker, Roland Velich, in the middle below in the blue shirt.
Our last visit that day was to Weingut Prieler, to meet the jovial Georg Prieler and his deep, fine Blaufränkisch wines and intense, weighty Pinot Blancs. A wine tasting at the family home soon turned into dinner at the region's smart restaurant, Gut Purbach. An evening to remember with winemakers Georg Prieler and Kurt Feiler from Feiler-Artinger supplying plenty fun and amusement… and then there was the menu…
A fantastic, spicy fish soup was followed by horse and then… a bit more horse – all the horse! Horse steak, horse heart, horse testicles, presented very delicately as you can see below… Safe to say they like their horse in Austria!
It was the world-renowned sweet wines of Feiler-Artinger for breakfast the next morning, sat outside in the winery's sunny garden in the town of Rust, surrounded by wonderful storks nesting on the rooftops above. Sat there with some delicious home-made pastries and some 1989 Soltaire Blaufränkisch, life was just wonderful.
From Rust we took a boat across the shallow Lake Neusiedl to meet Helmut Lang at Illmitz. Looking good below, guys – Alvis (Chitern Firehouse) rocking his tank-top, Seamus (Restaurant Story) looking the part in his Wines of Austria cap, and Peter (Spring) looking very smart as usual. Thanks too, Peter, for your great photos, some of which made it onto this post.
Helmut, seen below in the black T shirt, drove us around in his authentic pick-up, through his dry, sandy vineyards of Pinot Noir on the banks of the Lake to a beautiful, shady spot shown below for a buffet lunch and a tasting of his prized Eisweins, BAs and TBAs. Hard to imagine in the Summer heat that day, that making Eiswein – and as good as his – was even possible!
Quite spoilt, we were delivered from the care of one winemaker to the next, and Josef Umathum collected us and took us to visit his vineyard terraces and taste his refreshing Blaufränkisch rosé under the mulberry trees amongst the vines. That evening it was a blind tasting which proved quite the test – flight after flight of Austrian varietals: Harszlevelu – Lindenblattriger, Traminer, Gelber & Roter… his Pinot Noir 2001 and Zweigelt Ried Hallebuhl 2007 amongst the top picks of the evening – which ended with a relaxing BBQ in the winery gardens (before the local pub…)
The final morning: breaksfast fizz with birthday girl Brigitte Pittnauer, sipping Gerhard Pittnauer's most recent creation in their sunny vineyards. Quite simply living the dream.
At Weingut Pittnauer, our last stop of the trip, we got a feel for the practices of biodynamic winemaking, tasting some of the best St Laurents in Austria from cask along with the components of his soon-to-be-unveiled oxidative white, "Mash Pitt"… watch out Vault Tastings! 😉
And then, that was it, back off to Vienna airport.
Breakfast in Burgenland – a final, concluding drink in South Kensington for some 😉 – and dinner back home. Quite the adventure.

Basically, the idea is that we tend to build mainly single-family homes on large lots (suburban model) or medium to large apartment buildings (urban model) in the United States. Just like large-scale suburbia in the U.S. emerged as an attempt to hybridize the urban and the rural in the wake of the Industrial Revolution of the 19th Century, what if we could hybridize the suburban and the the urban to create an environment that is denser and has more transportation and housing options than suburbia, but still aesthetically resembles suburbia, and doesn't freak out the average American?
The Missing Middle philosophy attempts to do this by emphasizing housing types that we often overlook: small-lot detached houses, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, bungalow courts (i.e. clusters of small single-story detached cottages on a single lot), townhomes (i.e. homes of two to three stories with at least one side wall shared with an adjacent unit), live-work units (e.g. a building with a residential floor over a retail floor) and courtyard apartments. In designing these buildings, one is supposed to match the appearance of a neighborhood of detached houses by not exceeding three stories in height, matching setbacks, and considering how architectural design can make multi-unit buildings appear as a single housing unit (e.g. by making a fourplex that looks like a large mansion). Key to making this all work is local governments being willing to back off of suburban-style parking requirements. High parking requirements can make these housing types either too hard to build, too expensive to build, or aesthetically unappealing (since sites get dominated by pavement or structured parking). Parolek recommends providing no more than one off-street parking space per unit.
The Missing Middle is important because it makes the point that not everybody who is seeking a more walkable environment is comfortable with a full-blown urban lifestyle. However, there may be many people who are willing to try living in a place that has a suburban feel, but a bit of urban functionality. Baby steps can be a good thing :)

On Wednesday afternoon, a State Supreme Court judge ruled that 161 paper ballots that were not scanned on Election Day for technical reasons should be counted, bolstering the lead of U.S. Representative Tim Bishop in the race against his challenger, Randy Altschuler.
At the hearing, which has held at Suffolk County Board of Elections headquarters in Yaphank, Mr. Altschuler's attorney, Vincent J. Messina, argued that the ballots could have been tampered with because election workers did not handle them properly on Election Day, and thus should not be counted. But Justice Peter H. Mayer eventually sided with Mr. Bishop's campaign, stating: "Actions by the board, ministerial actions or errors, should not be used to disenfranchise the voter, absent some objective evidence of fraud."
Justice Mayer ordered that the ballots be counted, and granted Mr. Messina's request that the ballots then be sealed in case they need to be reviewed again during a future appeal. The ballots gave Mr. Bishop a net gain of 12 votes, putting his lead at 259 votes, according to his spokesman, Jon Schneider.
The decision came after Justice Mayer reviewed the workings of the new voting machines, which were used for the first time this year, and how election workers handled the unscanned ballots. Attorneys for both campaigns agreed on the basic facts of what went wrong on Election Day.
The ballots, which the machines could not scan for whatever reason Election Day on November 2 in "a host" of election districts, were slipped into special slots in the machines. Election workers were supposed to attempt to feed the ballots into the machines later on Election Day, but some did not, instead putting them in plastic bags and sending them in locked suitcases to Board of Elections headquarters that night. The plastic bags were not officially sealed, as they should have been, the attorneys said. The suitcases were opened in the days following Election Day, and the ballots were set aside at Board of Elections headquarters, where they were guarded by Suffolk County Police.
Mr. Messina had told the judge that he had no reason to believe the ballots were tampered with, but said that a "chain of custody" could not be established, leaving open the possibility of fraud in the time before the suitcases were delivered to Board of Elections headquarters on Election Day.
Garrett W. Swenson, the attorney for Republican Board of Elections Commissioner Wayne T. Rogers, also argued that the unscanned ballots should not be counted, while John J. Leo, the attorney for Democratic Board of Elections Commissioner Anita S. Katz, argued that they should be counted.
Additionally, attorneys said that election workers discovered nine unscanned ballots that were left sitting inside the machines after Election Day, while the machines sat at a warehouse at Board of Elections headquarters. Those ballots were counted sometime before the hearing, with four votes going to Mr. Bishop, four going to Mr. Altschuler, and one going to neither candidate, the attorneys said. On Wednesday, election workers were continuing to search other machines for any more unscanned ballots that were overlooked.
Now that the 161 unscanned ballots have been counted, several hundred other contested ballots are all that remain in the race, which attorneys said is the last undecided congressional race in the country. The attorneys have agreed to drop certain challenges in recent days, and negotiations are expected to continue over which additional ones to drop.
Mr. Bishop's campaign has more than 500 challenges outstanding, according to Mr. Bishop's attorney, Thomas Garry, and Mr. Altschuler's campaign has more than 1,000 challenges outstanding, according to Mr. Messina. About half of each campaign's challenges are based on issues of voter residency, the attorneys said, adding that they were not immediately prepared to start arguing those matters because their teams were still compiling research on the voters in question. Mr. Messina told Justice Mayer that he would be prepared to begin arguing that issue on Monday.
In the meantime, the Board of Elections commissioners for both parties have ruled on several hundred contested ballots and have issued split decisions on most of them, according to the attorneys. Those split decisions will be passed on to Justice Mayer for rulings. The judge said on Wednesday that he would return to Board of Elections headquarters on Thursday morning to begin deciding on some ballots that were not contested on issues of voter residency.
During the hearing, Mr. Messina suggested that Mr. Altschuler may choose to concede at some point, saying, "We may reach certain mathematical conclusions."

Aeration and cooling systems are costly and in this manner you should deal with them painstakingly to abstain from hampering their effectiveness. Air conditioners require regular servicing or else they may fail to cool the room. Regular cleaning and maintenance is crucial for air conditioners. An air conditioner should be looked after and tuned up to augment its efficiency in the best manner. Absence of regular tune-ups might make an air conditioner drop its charm and functional value. This makes Scottsdale AC Installation services and repair crucial.
One of the most ideal methods for recovering the effectiveness of an aeration and cooling system is through the ventilating administration and repair.

Help for Eating Disorders, Extreme Weight Loss and Body Image
What defines an 'eating disorder?'
Eating disorders often begin with what might look like 'normal' dieting; a conscious 'cutting back' to lose a little unwanted weight or a light regime to prepare for an event such as a wedding. However, while the initial weight loss may be successful, an ED sufferer will go on to become increasingly fearful of weight gain and obsessive about slimming down, often resulting in physical fragility and psychological disturbance.
Common eating disorders:
- Anorexia Nervosa – Restriction of food or exercising excessively to either lose weight or maintain a weight which is at least 15% below what is normal for the individual's height and age. A person with this problem may have a distorted perception of their body (often called 'mirror-blindness' or body dysmorphia), whereby they see themselves as too fat despite continuing emaciation
- Bulimia – When a person compulsively binges on food and then tries to control weight gain by inducing vomiting or using laxatives. Their self-esteem is based excessively on weight and shape or they feel too fat or fear fatness
- Binge-eating – Excessive overeating without vomiting
What other signs and symptoms are there?
- An overriding need to lose more weight despite the success of the first few pounds
- Refusal of food or difficulty eating
- Preoccupation with food, meal-times, exercise sessions and work routines
- Over-emphasis on ingredients, fat content, calories, style, shape, look and names of different foods
- Feeling of being unworthy of food
- Excessive exercising
- Fear of eating too much and subsequently eating too little
- Fear of eating certain foods or all foods
- Fear of permanent weight gain or fear of being unable to maintain weight, fitness or a particular body shape
- Use of laxatives and/or induced vomiting to control weight gain after eating
Eating patterns such as these quickly have a damaging impact on physical health, sometimes resulting in tooth decay, kidney damage, bone density loss, high or low blood pressure, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal problems, stunted growth (in adolescents and teens), depression and if left untreated, can be fatal.
How can counselling and psychotherapy help me with me with an eating disorder?
At Fresh Mind Therapy we help many people with eating disorders and can help you too. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence which help to reduce the disorder through these steps:
- Identifying the underlying causes of your eating issues
- Examining the thoughts, feelings and behaviours maintaining the disorder
- Identifying your triggers and improving insight and self-understanding in relation to food
- Developing healthy eating habits and improved self-image
- Developing unique coping strategies to overcome negative behaviours such as vomiting, laxative abuse and over-exercise
How long will treatment be and what can I expect in my sessions?
We recommend 16 to 20 sessions over 4 to 5 months, although this may vary according to presenting issues and your individual needs.
3 Phase CBT treatment:
Phase 1:
- Education about your eating disorder and explanation of self-perpetuating cycles of binge-eating or anorexic behaviour
- Identification of compensatory behaviours as individual to you
Phase 2:
- Reducing your dietary restraints
- Problem solving techniques
- Thought charts to identify dysfunctional attitudes and beliefs as well as avoidance behaviours
Phase 3:
- This is the maintenance phase in which your long term food relationship skills are consolidated. Relapse prevention strategies are implemented to prepare for potential set-backs.
Why do eating disorders develop and am I at risk?
Eating disorders are most common in women and are often blamed on pressure from society and the media to be slender and to have a certain body shape. Causes of eating disorders however are complex and there are both biological and psychological factors involved:
- Family history of eating disorders or other mental health disorders e.g. depression
- Chronic low self-esteem
- Excessive concern with weight and body image either by the individual or by their family
- Early life criticism of eating habits, body shape or weight
- Past mental health problems e.g. personality disorders, obsessive personality or an anxiety disorder
- History of sexual abuse or other traumas
- Current problems in relationships with partners, family members or friends
- Stressful life events e.g. bereavement, divorce, moving home or problems at work, school or university
