Chef Joel Gargano of Food Network�s Chopped shares his secrets for going from fat to fit.
The child of two professional bakers, Joel Gargano, 28, a chef from Clinton, Conn., seemed destined to be in the food business. But in addition to fueling his future career, the unlimited access to sweets and pastries set him up for a childhood full of the teasing, shame and humiliation suffered by overweight children. By the time he graduated high school, he tipped the scales at 300 pounds. �Being overweight, you�re kind of an easy target for bullies,� says Joel, who competed on a special May 30th weight-loss edition of Chopped, the Food Network cooking competition. �You are the most self-conscious person in the room. You may be large, but you still feel like you�re not there.� Sick of feeling lousy about himself�and eager to break out of the �fat kid� mold�Joel was determined to make over his lifestyle. When he went off to pursue a culinary degree at Johnson & Wales University, he used it as an opportunity to reinvent himself. RELATED: Diabetes Fighting Secrets from a Former Fat Chef Joel admits that his motivation for losing weight also stemmed from a desire to impress a girl�his current wife, Merica Gargano. �I had my eyes on this girl who is now my wife,� he says with a laugh. �I wanted to look better.� Joel quit smoking and tweaked his eating habits in small yet effective ways. �I started eating better and exercising more,� he says. �I focused on being mindful and eating foods in moderation.� Over a period of four years, he gradually shed 105 pounds and whittled down to a svelte 195 pounds. RELATED: Try Joel Gargano�s Fiber-Bomb Granola� In spite of his remarkable weight loss transformation, you won�t ever hear Joel utter the word �diet.� The self-described bacon and pork belly lover doesn�t put any sweeping bans against high-fat or �decadent� foods. �I don�t swear off any foods,� the chef says. �I�ve tried diets, but I don�t think they particularly work for me.� Instead, Joel practices portion control�if he�s craving potato chips, for instance, he�ll treat himself to a handful�and just a handful. He credits this balanced, sane approach to eating as the secret to his long-lasting weight loss success. �It�s all about everything in moderation,� he says. �What works for me is being consistent. Keeping myself busy and immersed in projects so I don�t fall off track.� Competing on �Chopped� gave Joel the chance to prove to former classmates that he is no longer the self-conscious, overweight kid he once was. �I want to prove to my former classmates that �the fat kid� made it,� he said on the show. Although Joel didn�t take home the grand prize, he says he has no regrets about his performance on the show and is proud of his personal and professional accomplishments. �It was about proving to myself that I could accomplish something,� he says. �If people from high school were happening to watch it, that�s just a plus. They�d see I really did something with my life�that I�m no longer the mopey, unmotivated kid they remember me as.� Brought to you by: Spry

I think coloradopu was asking the question about the celadon firing.

Sorry for the slow response both here and to your PM's. I've had computer and wifi problems on and off for the last week...
I have two recipes for what is knows as "Fish Scale" glazes, I've been meaning to try for some time now. Generally, Fish Scale glazes tend to be very high feldspathic glazes that craze and that are applied rather thick. They look best over darker clay bodies.
You might also try the following recipes with various oxides to create different color effects. These recipes will produce milky white glazes with smooth "fat" and "buttery" surfaces. The excessive crazing will also likely give a visual depth to these glazes.
Maybe we can both, or any of the other potters here for that matter, test and compare our results here(?).
Glaze #1
cone 10-11, reduction
Soda Feldspar 80
Whiting 10
Clay 10 (try om-4 or EPK = different results)
Bone Ash 2
Glaze #2
cone 10-11, reduction
Cornwall Stone 85
Whiting 15

I open the kiln the next day.
By the next morning the temp. has dropped to 650 F, at which point I pull the peep pugs and let the temp. drop to 425 F. I then open the damper an inch or so until the temp. drops to 250 F, at this point I start unloading. I'm usually unloading by noon.

Women who drink heavily during pregnancy have increased stillbirth risk

Commentary on: O'Leary C, Jacoby P, D'Antoine H, et al. Heavy prenatal alcohol exposure and increased risk of stillbirth. BJOG 2012;119:945–52.
Implications for practice and research
Identification of fetal risk alcohol exposure has proven difficult. It is important to understand differential risk factors.
In practice, it is worthwhile to put systems in place to screen for risky drinking both before and during pregnancy as a prelude to intervention to reduce embryonic/fetal alcohol exposure.
Future research should focus on confirming the alcohol-related risks for stillbirth and identifying interventions that will decrease prenatal alcohol exposure and are effective across diverse populations (ie, work across multiple practice settings).
The context of this study is particularly important because this article relates to long-held concerns about the effect of maternal alcohol use during pregnancy and significant health disparities between Aboriginal and non-aboriginal women and children in Australia. Stillbirth has been identified as an adverse …

The Economy
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
John Godfrey Don Valley West, ON
Mr. Speaker, once again Canadians are seeing the results of the government's wise fiscal management. The unemployment rate fell again to 7.6% and the Canadian economy created over 65,000 jobs last month. This is five times as many jobs as economists were predicting. Most of these jobs are full time jobs.
In particular, we see considerable growth in employment in British Columbia and Quebec. In British Columbia, the unemployment rate dropped from 9.1% to 7.8% in just one month. In Quebec, 26,000 jobs were created last month.
Ten years ago, when the Liberal government came to power, we promised to get Canadians working. Since then, three million jobs have been created. This is three million more Canadians who are working today since the government first took office.
I am sure my colleagues in the House will join me in celebrating the continuing success of the government and the benefits that 10 years of good government have provided for Canadians.
Remembrance Day
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Progressive Conservative
Loyola Hearn St. John's West, NL
Mr. Speaker, next week we will remember those who fought and served us in the great world wars. All of them were heroes.
One of the great heroes was a young Newfoundlander, Tommy Ricketts, who lied about his age and at 15 joined the Royal Newfoundland Regiment.
In 1916, in Belgium, they came under heavy fire. He and his commander outflanked the German gun. They ran out of ammunition. He circled back, found ammunition, came back to his platoon and they drove back the enemy. He was the youngest soldier ever to be awarded the Victoria Cross.
We owe a debt of gratitude to people like Tommy Ricketts and all those who served. On November 11, let us remember them all for what they have done for us. Let us never forget that great sacrifice they paid for this country.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Statements By Members
November 7th, 2003 / 11:10 a.m.
Richard Marceau Charlesbourg—Jacques-Cartier, QC
Mr. Speaker, November 19 is World Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease Day. According to the Canadian Lung Association, this family of diseases, often known as COPD, affects about 8% of Canadians, or some 2 million people, half a million of them Quebeckers.
In recent years, one of my constituents, Claude Lanthier, who suffers from pulmonary dysfunction himself, has moved heaven and earth to get the government, particularly Revenue Canada, to recognize the disability caused by COPD.
My statement today is intended not only to demonstrate our solidarity with our fellow citizens who suffer from these terrible diseases, but also to pay tribute to those who, like Mr. Lanthier, spare no effort to improve the well-being of others.
I invite all members of this House to find out more about the devastating effects of these diseases and to support current and future medical research initiatives.
Employment Insurance
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Carole-Marie Allard Laval East, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday was a big day for the Liberal Party and this government's administration.
Finally the truth comes out. The Superior Court of Quebec made it clear to Bloc Quebecois MPs that they are exaggerating when they accuse the Liberal government of mismanaging the employment insurance fund.
I will quote from the ruling:
—in light of the evidence presented, the court is unable to conclude that the federal government used or appropriated the surplus accumulated pursuant to the legislation illegally. This surplus is still posted to the employment insurance account.
What a victory.
Will the members of the Bloc Quebecois finally understand that the people of Quebec are not stupid and that one day they will be unmasked? This only shows that truth always triumphs.
Westray Mine
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, today Bill C-45 will gain royal assent.
The Westray bill is a victory for working people across Canada and culminates 11 years of work by New Democrats in solidarity with families of mine disaster victims, Westray survivors, steelworkers and other trade union partners.
This brings us one step closer to ensuring that corporations are held liable for irresponsible working conditions that end up costing workers their lives.
Justice Peter Richard, who presided over the Westray public inquiry, described Westray, as, "a story of incompetence, mismanagement, bureaucratic bungling, deceit, ruthlessness, cover-up, apathy, expedience and cynical indifference".
Bill C-45 will ensure in future that corporate managers and employers are held criminally responsible for endangering the lives of workers. Let there not be another Westray.
Arts and Culture
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
John Bryden Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Aldershot, ON
Mr. Speaker, soon Canadians will have the great pleasure of seeing and enjoying 13 late18th century watercolours of exceptional scenes from Quebec City, Montreal and other parts of eastern Canada.
These water-colours by Benjamin Fisher, a British painter and officer of the Corps of Royal Canadian Engineers, had been forgotten for 150 years in the basement of an English university.
Through the collaboration of both the National Archives of Canada and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, and with financial assistance from the Department of Canadian Heritage, these rare and magnificent works will be returned to Canada.
Camp Borden
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Canadian Alliance
Jay Hill Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, in 1917 the Royal Flying Corps constructed a string of 17 purpose-built military aircraft hangars at Camp Borden, north of Toronto.
By the end of the first world war, 1,184 pilots had trained there. Again, during the second world war, this base was used to train not only Canadian pilots, but airmen from allied countries around the world.
Since that time these historic aircraft hangars have been so neglected they have fallen into a complete state of disrepair. Sadly, only eight hangars remain standing today.
Considered the birthplace of the Royal Canadian Air Force, these hangars were designated a national historic site in 1989. Yet the government has done virtually nothing to preserve this national treasure. Unbelievably, the Minister of National Defence has now authorized the destruction of three more hangars.
As usual his timing is impeccable. Despite Remembrance Day next Tuesday, he continues to support the destruction of these irreplaceable military heritage buildings.

John Reynolds West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast, BC
Mr. Speaker, countries on the African continent need help fighting HIV-AIDS. They need medication and they need it now. Cabinet ministers put on a big flashy show yesterday when Bill C-56 was introduced. Now we want action to back up those flashy words.
Will the government commit to passing the bill today at all stages?
International Aid
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Don Boudria Minister of State and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, several questions were asked on the floor of the House yesterday. This issue has been raised by a number of groups, NGOs, pharmaceutical companies, and a number of them have asked to testify before the parliamentary committee, which would be prepared to grant such a request.
A number of members on all sides of the House and I have had discussions today, and we certainly are prepared to have second reading go through today and to allow witnesses who want to appear before committee to be heard.

Canadian Alliance
John Reynolds West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast, BC
Mr. Speaker, the minister just about wrenched his shoulder yesterday patting himself on the back with regard to the bill, and the government would have us now believe it is still committed to the bill.
When countries are facing a crisis situation, why is the government now dragging its feet on this issue?
International Aid
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Etobicoke Centre
Allan Rock Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, let us be clear. Yesterday we took an enormously important step on a matter of humanitarian importance. We introduced legislation as the first developed country to implement this international agreement to make drugs available on an affordable basis to the developing world.
We are committed to that. We are the ones behind it. We want to get it through second reading today and in front of committee to ensure that every group, the NGOs and the drug companies, have their chance to speak to the bill. If it can be improved, it will be improved.
Let there be no doubt about our commitment to this humanitarian bill.
International Aid
Oral Question Period

Canadian Alliance
John Reynolds West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast, BC
Mr. Speaker, such outrage.
Led by the Leader of the Opposition and all parties on this side of the House, we have agreed to immediately pass the bill. The minister has not done his homework. The industry wants to have regulations before committee. It wants the bill passed.
Why did the government not do its homework and get the bill here so we could pass it immediately and help the people in Africa who need help now?
International Aid
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Etobicoke Centre
Allan Rock Minister of Industry
Mr. Speaker, he has the facts wrong. We have done our homework for the last two months. After the August 30th agreement, we prepared the bill. We were careful with the way we prepared it. We believe it is the right way to go. We are very proud of it.
The bill was introduced in the Prime Minister's name, and reflects his commitment to Africa and humanitarian causes. We are anxious to see it become law. We want it at second reading today so it can get to committee and ensure that the bill will do the job.
Let there be no doubt about the government's commitment. The bill is ready. Is the member ready to work with us in committee to ensure that it is ideal?
Softwood Lumber
Oral Question Period
11:15 a.m.
Progressive Conservative
Gerald Keddy South Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, Premiers Hamm and Lord were in Washington last week fighting to protect the interests of Atlantic Canada's softwood lumber industry. The main issue of discussion was the reinstatement of Atlantic Canada's longstanding exemption from countervail.
What has the government done to support Atlantic Canada's interests at the bargaining table in Washington?
Softwood Lumber
Oral Question Period
11:20 a.m.
Pierre Pettigrew Minister for International Trade
Mr. Speaker, let me be very clear. It has been the government's point of view that remanufacturers should have always been out of this contestation and the challenge by the Americans.
Atlantic Canada's exemption has lasted for 25 years. We have been promoting the exemption of the Atlantic provinces from any measures. As far as I know, we have been very successful at exempting Atlantic Canada from the 18% duties that are imposed on the rest of the country. The government should be congratulated for that.

Advanced Micro Devices this week officially confirmed intentions to release six-core microprocessors for desktops next-year. As reported earlier, the new chip is code-named Thuban and is likely to be sold under Phenom II X6 brand.
"I can confirm that AMD is planning on introducing a six-core processor for our enthusiast desktop lineup next year. It will be a 'Stars' core supporting DDR3," said Damon Muzny, a spokesman for AMD.
AMD's processor code-named Thuban is the company's first desktop processor with six processing engines. The microprocessors will be compatible with socket AM3/AM2+ (with split power plane) infrastructure and will have integrated dual-channel PC3-10600 (DDR3 1333MHz) memory controller. It is very likely that Thuban processors will retain AMD Phenom II brand name as well as design of the code-named Istanbul chips for servers, thus, will feature 3MB L2 cache (512KB per core) and 6MB of L3 cache. The chips will be made using 45nm SOI fabrication process.
It remains to be seen whether Thuban becomes a part of AMD's current high-end desktop platform called Dragon, or will power the company's next-generation Leo platform.
AMD's Leo platform will be based on the AMD 890FX and 890GX core-logic sets. The new chipsets will offer better performance and functionality, e.g., they will support Serial ATA-600, 14 Serial ATA 2.0 ports and so on, but both will only hit mass production in April, 2010, and will be formally released in May next year, according to market sources.
Based on currently available information, AMD Thuban is due only in Q3 2010.
At present AMD does not position its six-core Opteron processors even for single-socket workstations and recommends its customers among makers of dual-socket workstations to stick to quad-core chips due to their higher clock-speeds compared to existing six-core central processing units. At present AMD's highest-performance six-core chips operate at 2.80GHz, meanwhile, the fastest quad-core CPUs function at 3.40GHz.
With six physical cores AMD will be able to demonstrate rather high performance in multi-tasking and applications that need to execute numerous threads at once. Moreover, as future video games that rely on DirectX 11 start to arrive, the advantages provided by six-core Thuban and Istanbul processors will be even more apparent.
Intel Corp., the larger rival of AMD, plans to unveil its six-core code-named Core i9 "Gulftown" chips for desktops in Q2 2010.

For every 1% VWG added to the total weight of flour, you will increase the protien by approx 0.6%.
While scoping out my local grocery store for the best flour to use in my dough, I noticed this. I'm not sure if it would help or not, but would this give a gluten/protein boost to my dough? Will it alter flavor?
According to calorie-count.com, Hodgson Mill VWG is 66.6% protein. Reported at 12 gram increments, that percentage may not be perfectly accurate, but even still, it looks like 60% remains a mythical percentage. I'm going to go ahead and add Hodgson Mill to the list on the tool. If someone procures a different protein percentage, let me know.http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/89233.html

Topic: Capistrano Deployment Forum
Capistrano has had traction for a good while, but I get the sense that people are each having to discover cool features by stumbling on them ... say in a blog someplace. Wouldn't it be nice to have a Capistrano forum to share recipes for various deployment scenarios. Say:
Q: I like to keep a set of shared scripts and configs. How do I do that with Capistrano and keep my development environment sane?
A: I have a setup recipe that places the production scripts and configs in the shared directory once and an after_update_code that symlinks to that directory each time I deploy a new version.
You can see how these little snippets could get real useful real fast, right?
Just a suggestion.

Mexican Law and Individual Rights in Mexico
Vacation is a time for fun and relaxation but doing so in a foreign country carries with it the responsibility of every traveler to be informed as to basic laws, customs and attitudes in the country they plan to visit and Mexico is no exception.
While these sorts of things are rare,
a traveler can become involved in an auto accident, experience an assault or a robbery or be accused of a crime. It is always wise that every traveler to Mexico understand what their basic rights are in Mexico and seek legal counsel immediately when necessary.
During the Presidential administration of Felipe Calderon Hinojosa (2006-2012) sweeping judicial reforms were implemented at both the Federal and State levels which affect all citizens and travelers. The 2008 Constitutional Amendment and Reform to the Mexican criminal justice system was the first attempt in 90 years to integrate greater controls for transparency and individual rights protection in the system. These Reforms began Mexico on a path toward a gradual transition to an accusatory and adversarial system (rather than inquisitorial) of criminal justice at both federal and local levels. The current President of Mexico Enrique Peña Nieto (2012 - ) called the 2008 Reforms the most transcendental change in the last century in the Mexican criminal justice system.
In a nutshell, according to Miguel Sarre of Reforma newspaper, "The 2008 criminal justice reform which must be implemented throughout Mexico at Federal and local levels by 2016, requires rearranging the pieces of the justice system in order to have greater assurance of justice both for persons accused and for victims. To do this, the model adopted strengthens the role of judges: all evidence will be presented in public trials in his presence. This will give more credibility to justice."
And while the reforms began to be implemented immediately in some areas, 2016 is the deadline set forth whereby all entities with court systems will be changed over. The State of Quinatana Roo, home of Cozumel and Cancun, has lagged behind in implementing the judicial reforms. Nonetheless, these judicial changes do not affect individual guarantees granted by the Mexican Constitution.
Individual guarantees granted by the Mexican Constitution in criminal proceedings include,
but are not limited to, the following:
An arrest may be made by local, state or federal police. All offenses involving narcotics or weapons are federal offenses and the accused will be turned over to federal police if the arrest is made by another agency. The police will determine through investigation and questioning whether an offense has been perpetrated and whether the arrestee is the person who committed it.
If the police decide that an offense has been committed they will turn the accused over to the Agente del Ministerio Publico, the equivalent of a district attorney in the United States. The Agente, or district attorney, conducts a preliminary investigation to determine whether the case can be prosecuted. If he decides that it can, he has 48 hours to notify the accused of the name of his accuser, and the nature of the charges against him, take his preliminary statement and inform him of his right to legal counsel. After that, he will turn the accused over to a judge. Once an individual has been assigned to a judge, that judge has 72 hours to decide if he will proceed with the case/arraign the arrestee. It is at that point that the detainee will be asked for a formal declaration of guilt or innocence. Once the accused has been arraigned, the judge has a further 72 hours to decide to issue a formal order of imprisonment or drop the charges and release the prisoner.
All prisoners shall be informed of the nature of the charges against them.
(Art. 19 Paragraph 1 Constitucion Politica de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos)
After being charged, the party may be freed upon the posting of bail (fianza), the amount determined by the seriousness of the offense, provided that such an offense is not punishable by more than five years imprisonment.
The accused may not be forced to testify against himself, nor kept incommunicado; he may employ counsel from the moment of his arrest and, in case he is not able to do this, the judge will appoint a no-cost public defender.
(Art. 20 Fracc. II & IX Constitucion Politica de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos)
In case the accused does not speak the Spanish language, the District Attorney shall appoint an interpreter; likewise, the accused shall be entitled to have his deposition written down in his own language.
(Art. 28 Codigo Federal de Procedimientos Penales)
A trial in Mexico consists of the attorneys for the opposing sides presenting their arguments to the judge in writing. There is no set date for a trial and cases move slowly. The accused should be tried within one year, if the maximum penalty is greater than 2 years imprisonment. If a verdict results in a prison sentence, the time you have already spent in prison counts toward the fulfillment of the sentence. the prisoner, as well as the prosecutor, has the right to appeal the sentence within five days.
Drug offenses are punishable in Mexico by from 7 to 15 years' imprisonment for persons cultivating or possessing narcotic-producing plants (includes marijuana) and from 2 to 8 years imprisonment for transporting, possessing, purchasing and disposing (selling or giving) of narcotics. Under the Mexican Penal Code drug offenders are not eligible for parole. Carrying a non-military gun can result in a prison sentence of 6 months to 3 years. Possession of a military weapon is punishable with 4 to 12 years. Anyone convicted of clandestine introduction of a firearm can receive a sentence of five to thirty years (for a military weapon) or from 2 to 8 years (non-military). Bail is not available for those charged with clandestine introduction. Weapons considered for exclusive use of the military are any revolver with a caliber greater than .38 special (including a .357 magnum and .38 super or commando); any automatic rifle or pistol; and shotguns larger than 12-gauge. Please note that any person crossing into Mexico with an undeclared firearm may be charged with clandestine introduction.
Article 36(a) of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963
states that consular officers shall be free to communicate with their nationals and to have access to them.
Article 36(b)
provides that foreign authorities shall inform the consular officer of the arrest of an American "without delay" (no time frame specified), if the national requests such notification.

How to help your child avoid anxiety before and during a test
Every student faces the occasional challenge of preparing for an important examination, but tests don�t have to cause feelings of apprehension. Help your child avoid anxiety before and during a test by following these tips: Be prepared. �You will not be anxious if you have prepared yourself with the strategies and basic skills for the test,� says Dr. Gary Gruber, leading expert on test-taking and author of over 35 books, including Gruber's Essential Guide to Test Taking: Grades 3-5. �Get involved with the test. Instead of fixating on just getting the right answer, try to extract something from the question that you can get a handle on or know. That will lead you to the next step and then to a solution.� Sweet dreams. A good night�s sleep before a test will help ensure that your child is well-rested and mentally equipped to handle the challenges of an examination. Encourage your child to relax and unwind at bedtime to avoid sleeplessness. Fuel for school. On the morning of a test, a healthy, balanced breakfast of whole grains, fruit, and protein is vastly superior to skipping breakfast or settling for a quick, sugar-filled snack. The ideal time frame for breakfast is one to two hours prior to the test, Gruber says. Avoid cramming. �Cramming is not usually a good idea,� Gruber says. �It is better to internalize strategies and skills.� He instead recommends consistent practice and study prior to an exam. �Treat the exam [as] a challenge and get involved with the process of problem-solving. By going through the thinking process, you'll get the answer.� Brought to you by: American Profile

Topic: DRYing up view tests...
So if you've been following my posts, you've seen that I've been progressing from model->controller->view tests. Using a slew of custom assertions for model testing and the Test::Rails package for divorced controller and view tests.
I feel like I've been able to keep both model and controller tests rather clean and DRY through aggressive refactoring/custom assertions. However view tests seem to have some un-attractive repetition which so far appears relatively hard to clean up. And after staring at it some more, I'm realizing some of the problems are shared with the controller tests.
The easiest problem for me to explain, and probably easiest to fix:
In Test::Rail's view tests, many of the assertions take the form of
assert_something form_url, other_parameter(s)
Where the form_url is typically '/<controller>/<action>'.
So a relatively normal test looks like
def test_edit_new
form_url = '/models/create'
assert_post_form form_url
assert_field form_url, :text, :model_object, :field_name
assert_field form_urm, :text, :model_object, :other_field
assert_submit form_url, 'Submit'
I find the repetition of the 'form_url' everywhere very ugly. I'm also not too keen on the assert_post, assert_submit that tend to "wrap" every form test.
I think the solution will be to create an custom assertion that would be used as follows (Handwaving/prototype code follows)
def test_edit_new
assert_form '/models/create', :submit=>'Submit' {|f|
f.field :text, :model_object, :field_name
f.field :text, :model_object, :other_field
With the assert_submit, and assert_post_form handled internally to the assert_form, etc. This looks like the a standard rails idion too, see the create table migration syntax or some of the form builders, I beleive. Does this look like the right track to you? (Of course in addition to f.field, I'll need to delegate most of the current ViewTestCase assertions, as well as provide for the one-two that it seems to miss (textareas).
I'm also not sure if I should push :model_object up into the hashlist of the assert_form to remove it from the field definitions. Doing so would make the f.field call's nicer, but would limit the ability to work with a single form that has multiple model_objects attached....
I think I'll stop here -- the other place I'm feeling non-DRY is extremely hard to explain and until I understand it better it probably isn't worth trying to explain it to others...

Two Americas
To The Reader's Forum:
The recent George Zimmermann trial in Florida points to the fact that in parts of this country there are two societies; one black, one white. This court case makes the point
If a black man followed, by car, a white boy walking down the street, then called the police and they told him DO NOT FOLLOW. He continues to follow, then gets out of the car , with a gun, confronts the white boy, they fight and the white boy is shot by the black man: what would the result be?
This is what happened to Trayvon Martin. The shooter claims he was afraid for his life. Only in the south could this be believed. He stalked , confronted and then killed a black teenager who, was totally innocent. He had the right, as you and I do, to walk the street as a free American citizen without fear of being killed.
In this country, the black population has suffered legal lynchings for over 150 years. If you were black, would you trust the justice system to protect you? If your son were Trayvon Martin and he was shot by a cop wannabe, how would you feel?
There is a terrible disconnect in this country and I fear that it is mainly racial and economic. Poor people do not get equal protection in the courts and all too often poor people of color get less.
Everyone in this country has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And that includes walking in any neighborhood without the fear of being shot and killed.

Have questions? Call (800) 615-3055 to speak to a cancer information specialist.
While chiropractic care can be helpful to many intestinal patients, it may not be for everyone. For example, chiropractic services are not recommended if a bone metastasis is found or your platelet counts are low.
If we determine chiropractic care is safe and appropriate, your chiropractor will work with your oncologists and you to develop a plan. Throughout your intestinal cancer treatment, your team will consistently monitor your scans and X-rays, as well as your lab results, to ensure safe delivery of care.
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health.
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA), our chiropractors can provide chiropractic treatment to relieve pain and stiffness in your joints and muscles caused or intensified by surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Cancer and treatments for cancer can cause stress on the musculoskeletal system. Some cancer patients experience peripheral neuropathy, aches and pains in the neck and/or back, muscle tension, headaches, or difficulty walking.
Chiropractic care can help to reduce stress and increase mobility, flexibility, strength and function, as well as help improve overall well-being. Specially, a chiropractic adjustment can help alleviate a variety of symptoms, including:
Our chiropractors are licensed physicians with expertise in using non-invasive manual or instrument procedures to restore the muscle and joints of the body, particularly the spine. They work closely with your oncologists and the rest of your care team to help to reduce stress to the nervous system without the use of drugs or surgical treatment.
If your oncologist determines chiropractic care is safe and appropriate, a chiropractor will work with your oncologists and the rest of your care team to develop a plan. Your plan may include non-invasive manual chiropractic techniques to correct bone, muscle and joint problems and restore nerve function.
A common therapeutic procedure is spinal manipulation, or chiropractic adjustment. Manipulation involves manually applying a controlled force to the spine and/or other joints in the body that have become misaligned or restricted in their movement.
Some specific chiropractic techniques to restore alignment include:
Throughout your cancer treatment, we will consistently monitor your scans and X-rays, as well as your lab results, to ensure safe delivery of care. Our chiropractors can also work closely with your hometown doctor to ensure your care is safe and appropriate once you return home.
While chiropractic care can be helpful to many patients, it may not be for everyone. For example, chiropractic services may not be recommended if a bone metastasis is found or your platelet counts are low.

Athletic Edge
A former football player helps other get fit
By Derrell Connor
One of the most popular New Year's resolutions is to become healthier. The goal, while critical and essential, can be very difficult to maintain, even just a month or two in.
Haywood Simmons is determined to change that.
Simmons, a former University of Wisconsin and NFL football player, created Phitness Plus in 2010 to encourage and educate people of all ages and athletic backgrounds to get in the best shape possible, and to change their lives in a positive manner. His mission is to help build healthy and happy lifestyles through proper exercise and informed nutritional counseling, one person at a time. And he has built up an impressive clientele, which includes former UW and professional athletes, plus the Madison Blaze women's football team, for which he serves as conditioning coach.
The key to his success, Simmons believes, is a holistic approach to fitness. "If the mind, food and heart are not right, your fitness program will not work," he says. "There has to be a mind and body connection."
Simmons believes that the more you educate yourself on what you put into your body and exercise regularly, the healthier you will become. That means all meals must reflect the four basic food groups—and the less meat, processed food and food with additives, the better.
But developing a healthy diet can be difficult. "I've had many people ask me what types of foods I should eat, or what meals to prepare," Simmons says. "So I created the Group Plus nutrition system to give our customers a guide and the education that they need to eat good, healthy food on a daily basis."
The ultimate achievement is developing the right diet and exercise plan—and then sticking to it.
"At Phitness Plus our goal is to also make exercise a part of your daily routine.

Susanne Brody 1988
While a student at Pace Law School, Susanne Brody interned at the Federal Defender's office, in White Plains. "I got bit by the bug," she says. "But they don't hire out of school." After graduating, Brody spent two years at the now defunct Serchuk & Zelermyer. Then one day she got a call from the defender's office: there was an opening. She made the jump and, 20 years later, she's never looked back.
As attorney in charge, Brody handles a wide variety of indigent criminal defense: illegal re-entry, child pornography, drug cases, white collar fraud. Her most recent high-profile case was the trial of the Newburgh Four, which centered on whether four alleged radical Muslim terrorists, who plotted to shoot down an airplane and planted what they mistakenly believed to be real bombs at synagogues in the Bronx, were the victims of FBI entrapment. Brody feels the four were "low-level pot dealers" convinced to sign onto a plot cooked up by a well-paid FBI informant, who offered the group's leader $250,000 and a BMW. "It doesn't make any sense to anybody," she says of the case.
In this case, as in much of Brody's work, she found herself defending individuals who—even if they had not been convicted—were still not anyone's idea of model citizens. But Brody views her job as serving a much more important principle. "I'm not defending these people, I'm defending their Constitutional rights," she says. "This is really the front line of the Constitution."
In addition to her work at the defender's office, Brody is also extremely active in Jewish education, particularly the Hillels at Duke and Emory universities, and the Westchester Fairfield Hebrew Academy, of which she was an early supporter. "Westchester Fairfield Hebrew Academy was a dream I had many years ago," she says. She "planted the seed" when she invited local rabbis and other movers in the local Jewish community to a meeting at her home and told them, "We're going to build a Jewish day school in Greenwich (Connecticut)." Brody also started the Anti-Defamation League chapter in Greenwich, and is a past president of the Women's Division of the Greenwich Jewish Federation.
Brody's involvement in the Jewish community, and her intense study of Jewish history and legal concepts, inform her approach to her work as a public defender. She views the Jewish concepts of compassion and justice as being intertwined. There's a good dog and a bad dog in each of us, she says, and sometimes the bad dog in her clients barks very loudly. Yet, much of life is determined not by the road you take, but the road you're put on. "Each client is entitled to the best representation I can give them, and I fight for them. There has to be some justice in the justice system." And although Brody doesn't know when she wakes up each morning whom she will be representing, she is grateful for the opportunity to give back to the community. "This job puts my life into perspective… I realize each day how fortunate I am," she says.
After 20 years, she can't imagine doing anything else.

Wild turkeys are polygynous. Males attempt to attract females by "gobbling" and "strutting" with their tail fanned out, their wings lowered and dragging on the ground, their back feathers erect, their head thrown back and their crop inflated. The gobbles of male wild turkeys can be heard more than 1.5 kilometers away (or approximately 1 mile). (Eaton, 1992)
Wild turkeys breed in early spring; southern populations begin courtship in late January and northern populations begin in late February. They raise one brood per season. The nest is a shallow depression in the ground, usually surrounded by dense brush, vines, tangles, deep grass, or fallen tree tops. The female scratches out the nest and lays 4 to 17 (usually 8 to 15) eggs. She incubates the eggs for 25 to 31 days. The chicks are precocial, and are able walk and feed themselves within 24 hours of hatching. The female broods the chicks at night for the first 2 weeks after hatching. She also defends them from predators, sometimes pursuing hawks or other predators. The young turkeys (called poults) stay with the female parent through the fall (males) or the early spring (females). Turkeys are capable of breeding at about 10 months old, though young males are typically not successful in competing with older males for mates during their first spring.
Egg dumping (laying eggs in another female's nest) is common in this species. This species is also known to lay eggs in the nests of Bonasa umbellus. Phasianus colchicus are known nest parasites of wild turkeys. (Eaton, 1992)
Male wild turkeys do not provide any parental care. Female wild turkeys prepare the nest, incubate the eggs, and care for the young until the next spring (fall for male poults). The chicks are precocial, and are able to walk and feed themselves within 24 hours of hatching. (Eaton, 1992)

Ice Palace construction pushed back to next week
Commodore Bunk and the H.A. Watermelon
Last week, Bunk Griffin did something he's only done twice before – he retired.
But this retirement was different because it was official. What made it official wasn't just that he wouldn't be punching in on Monday morning, but that there was a great party to celebrate the occasion. It was thrown by his daughters in the Elks club.
Attending was an all-star array of townies – old, young and in between. Among the luminaries (in no specific order) were Jack Lawless; Don and Ann Fina; Jeannie Wallace Breen; Andrea Hurteau Barry; Marsha MacDowell Morgan, chaperoning her kid brother and my fellow cub scout, Brad.
And of course there were Griffins – Griffins galore in fact, in direct line of descent, in indirect line, matrilineal, patrilineal, in-laws, outlaws, you name it.
When I first got there, after schmoozing with a bunch of people, my attention was drawn to music. It was coming from somewhere in the other room and sounded live. I went in and there, playing guitar and singing, was Bernie Branch. Holy moly, Bernie Branch! Bernie and I were pals Way Back When, but I hadn't seen him since the summer of 1968, to be exact.
I went up to him and we went through the handshakes, backslaps, and shameless flattery about how great each of us looked. Then he went back to playing and I went back in the other room, where I started talking to Brad MacDowell.
After a bit, Brad jerked his thumb at the other room.
"So who's playing in there?" he said.
I told him.
"Bernie Branch?" he shouted. "You're kidding! In high school Bernie and I played together in bands."
Brad rushed in the other room for his dose of Old Home Week.
By the way, while Brad and Bernie started out in music at roughly the same time, their musical paths have diverged since then: Bernie is a professional musician; Brad's musical career ended before Nixon's first term as president.
Later in the evening, Bernie said about Brad, "You know, he was the worst drummer I ever played with. But I never had more fun with anyone else since."
The Leonardo of My Home Town
Of course, the reason we were there was to honor Bunk, not catch up on all our reminiscences, but Bunk didn't mind. First, no one has a better disposition. And second, when it comes to reminiscing about All Things Saranac Lake, no one can compete with Bunk.
If you don't know him, Bunk is the closest thing My Home Town has to a renaissance man. He's a cartoonist, a graphic artist, an historian, a storyteller, a researcher – all of them self-taught and par excellence.
He is also the brains behind Bunk's Place. And what is Bunk's Place? you ask. It's a website which, if a Ph.D. in Saranac Lake-ology is ever awarded, all the course material will come from Bunk's Place. Since the only way to appreciate it is to visit it, I'll just say check it out. You won't be disappointed.
Because of all his research, Bunk's a one-man font of Saranac Lake history. He's a fourth or fifth generation townie, plus he's managed to forge his own colorful past. In the Elks club, a lot of our conversations involved Bunk stories. Certainly I've got mine, and I'd like to share one with you.
Sunken treasure, sunken dreams
Bunk's six years older than me, which means nothing now, but when we were kids it was an unbridgeable gap. In fact, I never even knew who Bunk was till I was 11, in the summer of 1958. But once I saw him, I never forgot him, especially because of the setting: He was cruising up and down Lake Flower in his boat. Sounds humdrum? It's not.
It was all due to that boat. It was an aluminum skiff that he'd painted black and on the bow had painted an evil set of eyes and teeth, much like those on Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers. But that was the least of it. The most of it was how the boat sat in the water. Or more precisely, not how it sat in the water but how it seemed to be lurching out of it.
For reasons no one ever discovered, the boat never leveled out. Instead, the bow stuck way up; probably half the hull rode out of the water. On top of that, it wobbled back and forth, like a baton being waved in the hand of a conductor loaded on Mad Dog 20-20.
The boat's oddball appearance led to its oddball name – The Half-Assed Watermelon. Both the boat's configuration and name caused unrestrained hilarity among me and my grade school chums.
The structural anomalies of the HAW should raise a germane question: How could Bunk ever cruise on Lake Flower at full throttle without ever ramming another boat? The answer is he couldn't. And not only did he hit another boat – he sank it as well.
It was one of the paddlewheel boats rented by Thomas's Boat Landing. They were beautiful little things: They had either one or two-person models, were propelled by a small paddle wheel in the back, and powered by hand levers on both sides of the driver. They were a great treat, for both locals and tourists.
When Bunk slammed into the paddlewheeler, he was shocked and mortified. Shocked because he never saw it, since his bow obstructed everything in front of him, and mortified because the woman in the boat was screaming bloody murder.
Luckily, she wasn't hurt, but apparently her finances were: The jolt had sent her purse flying … and then sinking to the murky depths of Lake Flower. And in that purse she said was a buttload of bucks – 200 of them to be exact.
Now time for some historical perspective. Two-hundred dollars is still a lot of money, but nothing like it was in 1958. How much was it? Well, since minimum wage was a dollar an hour (and a lot of adults worked at minimum wage) that $200 represented a full month's pay, with a six-day work week!
Back in those simpler times, the collision didn't register as a big deal in the eyes of the law. Bunk got a bawling out of sorts by Officer Pandolph , but it was only "of sorts," since Chuckie was just following orders and was pretty much a softie anyway. Beyond that, no action was taken.
However, it was a big deal in the eyes of the town's boys, as they combed the bottom of Lake Flower, their lungs pushed to the bursting point, in search of the purse and its loot.
Alas, the summer came and went, but the lake never offered up its bullion. And boys' attention spans being what they are, by the next year the purse was all but forgotten.
Then, amazingly, the year after that, someone found the purse!
It was in perfect shape, and its clasp had held the whole time.
It was a testament to quality purse-making, but not to adult integrity.
In the purse, in addition to the usual assortment of women's accessories, there was a wallet.
It contained a bunch of small change, one five dollar bill … and not a penny more.

Grey Asymmetrical Cut with Shaved Side and Long Bangs
This is an interesting look as this woman has her hair styled to different lengths. At one side just above the ear, the hair is very short as it has been buzz cut. Heading towards the back, the hair is still short but combed out straight. At the other side, the hair is straight and long. A fringe comes downs down at the forehead ending this look.This is a special haircut as it has been cut to three different lengths.The hair is coloured salt and pepper.

Child care providers need to do their research on unions, legislation
To the editor:
Minnesota Family Child Care Providers are once again fighting against the effort to unionize their small businesses. Two new bills, House Bill HF 950 and Senate Bill SF 778, were introduced Feb. 25.
I urge providers to research the bills. Talk to the parents in your child care, your friends, family and neighbors and get their support. Have them contact the Legislature as well.
"This bill will allow unions to represent you and your business, even if you don't want them to. This bill also denies providers the right to a secret ballot election if the union collects more than 50 percent of the union authorization cards they have been collecting. It is unclear if they will be allowed to use the cards collected as far back as seven years ago. If the union is unable to collect the majority, they can present 30 percent of the cards and a secret ballot election will be ordered. The only providers allowed to vote would be licensed and unlicensed providers who have received a payment from the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) in 12 months prior to the election. This would eliminate at least two thirds of the licensed professionals. The number of unlicensed providers far outnumbers the licensed professionals so even if every licensed provider votes no, the unlicensed providers could still tip the election in the unions favor." Childcareunioninformation.weebly.com
There will be fees associated with a union. These fees will be garnished from subsidy payments if you care for families using CCAP. If you decide not to join the union there is a "Fair Share" fee that will also be taken from any subsidy pay you receive. It is time to get the word out, before providers innocently sign cards they are told are for more information, but are really agreement for a union.
I also urge small business owners to do their research and contact the Legislature. They need to hear from all of us. One important thing I want to pass on, the wording in the bill: Subd. 2. Employer of record. For the purposes of chapter 179A, the state is the public employer of record for family child care providers. If they are able to get that wording passed, how long will other small businesses be safe from being forced to unionize and having the state as their employer?

The most common internal parasites of dogs are worms, and there are a number of different types including roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms and heartworms. Each kind of parasite can affect a canine's health differently and each parasite require slightly different treatments. It is best to get your pet on a parasite prevention plan for their best long term health.
The ASPCA reports that most puppies carry roundworms and routine deworming for this parasite should be done when they get their dog vaccinations. VCA Animal Hospitals reports that roundworms and tapeworms tend to have a greater effect on puppies than grown dogs, stunting their growth. The former can cause a puppy's belly to become distended, and the latter may result in a blocked intestinal tract and digestive problems.
Hookworms are one of the most severe types of canine parasites, and pets can become significantly anemic and debilitated from hookworm infestations. Whipworms create irritation in the large intestine, which is often accompanied by diarrhea and weight loss. If you notice that your dog is coughing, fatigued and otherwise in poor physical condition, it may be infected with heartworms.
Many intestinal parasites can pose a zoonotic health threat—meaning they can and do affect humans. Intestinal worms can produce millions of infective eggs every day which get passed in your pet's feces and spread throughout the area where they walk. People, especially children, can accidentally ingest these eggs, which can cause serious diseases of the eyes and brain. In fact, 1 to 3 million people become infected with hookworms from their pets every year and many have serious complications.
To protect the health of your dog and your family, adult dogs and cats should be on monthly, year-round heartworm preventative that also controls intestinal parasites. With this regimen, a heartworm test should be performed once yearly and a fecal test should be performed at least 1 to 2 times yearly. Dog owners should know the signs associated with worms and get them to a veterinary clinic as soon as possible if they suspect their pets have been infected with these internal parasites.

St. Patrick's Day is only a few of weeks away, so it's not too early to start feeling a wee bit Irish. Are you green with envy because you don't share in the heritage? No worries. In our contest, everyone can express their holiday spirit by writing a witty limerick or drawing a leprechaun or shamrock.
If you are age 8 to 14, here's what you can do:
* Write an original limerick. Be sure that it's one you have written — and not a poem you've read or seen before.
A limerick is a funny, five-line poem in which the first, second and fifth lines rhyme (usually with the same number of syllables) and the third and fourth lines rhyme (again with the same number of syllables).
* Want to showcase your artistic talents? If so, you can draw a leprechaun or a shamrock or both! Use crayons, markers, paint — any medium you wish.
* Send your limericks and artwork to: The Columbus Dispatch, 34 S. 3rd St., Columbus, OH 43215. Or, if you are submitting only a limerick, you can email it to email@example.com. No attachments, please.
* Include your name, address, age and phone number. If your classroom is participating, PLEASE BE SURE THAT THIS INFORMATION IS ON EACH ENTRY. This information will not be used for anything other than this contest.
* All entries must be received here at the paper by Monday, March 10.
* The week leading up to St. Patrick's Day, we'll publish as many of your limericks and pieces of artwork as possible online, and give credit to each author/illustrator.
* Everyone who participates will be entered in a random drawing to win a movie gift card.

Older people who report loneliness have increased risk of mortality and functional decline

Implications for practice and research
National screening recommendations are needed for loneliness.
Assessments for loneliness should be a component of primary care for older adults.
Interventions focused on the poorly adapted cognitive processes associated with loneliness warrant further study.
Prevalence rates of loneliness have been reported to be as high as 17% in samples of older adults in the USA.1 Historically, scientists viewed loneliness as a social phenomenon. Recently, loneliness has been reconceptualised as a biopsychosocial stressor that contributes to poor health. Loneliness reflects a person's …

The Pollock Town Board reviewed the income and expense totals for the Community Center at their regular meeting held Monday evening, Feb. 4.
Expenses for 2012 showed expenditures of $37,431.15. Some of the items on the list were expenditures that won't happen every year and some were expenditures that include the large shop. Income from the center showed $18,740.45.
The board discussed having a community meeting to get input on whether the community wanted to keep the building open. They set the date for the meeting as Thursday, March 7, at 7 p.m.
The Town Board learned that the state will be requiring the town to replace the light poles on Main Street. According to John Villbrandt, Mobridge DOT, the town has three options. They include:
• Applying for a state grant that has an 80/20 split with the town paying the 20 percent.
• Remove the poles and not replace them.
• Use utility owned poles supplied by MDU.
The town passed a resolution to apply for the grant from the state. If the cost for the poles through the grant is too high the town can decline the grant.
In other action the board:
• Set election workers' salaries at minimum wage, $7.25 per hour.
• Moved to advertise for their three year hay land lease.
• Reviewed the new rules for the sale of surplus property.
• Discussed a broadband assessment that NECOG can do to see what upgrades might be made to provide better service to the community. The board agreed to have NECOG do the assessment.

Editor for this issue: Scott Fults <scottlinguistlist.org>
New from Rene Mulder -- Holland Academic Graphics! Lisa Matthewson Determiner systems and quantificational strategies. Evidence from Salish This book examines the syntax and semantics of Salish determiners and quantifiers in great detail; one of the findings is that Salish, though it possesses a robust system of DP-internal quantification, lacks quantificational determiners. Lisa Matthewson proposes an account of differences in the determiner and quantification systems of Salish and English. In particular, Salish and English exemplify opposite settings of a Common Ground Parameter, which means that Salish determiners may not access the common ground of the discourse. This parameter also derives several other differences between Salish and English determiners, such as the absence of a definiteness distinction in Salish. With respect to the absence of quantificational determiners and the robust system of DP-internal quantification that Salish has, Matthewson demonstrates that quantificational DPs in Salish function as generalized quantifiers at logical form. The strong hypothesis that languages do not differ with respect to the presence or absence of generalized quantifiers is upheld. The differences in quantificational strategies between English and Salish turn out to be largely derivable from the independently-required parameter on determiners.
