Hi there. I know this is a really long post. Really long. Stay with me, though. And if you just want to learn how to weave a really cool round challah, just skip down about halfway to the diagrams. The instructions are still really long. But it's a lot easier than the number of words would lead you to believe. Trust me.
I was asked by PresenTense a few weeks ago to contribute to the food column of their upcoming magazine, themed "Leadership and the Jewish World." They wanted me to take a photograph of a freshly baked challah to accompany a challah recipe and "a Rosh Hashanah meditation."
They lost me at meditation. Especially when I initially though they wanted me to write the meditation.
I'm not spiritual. I giggle at a mere whiff of hooky kooky. Plus, I think I have challah pretty down pat, whether it's my bread machine version or the recipe I carried back with me from Panama.
As karma would have it, though, on the day of our initial email introduction, Michal (the "meditator") was in my city and my evening plans had been cancelled. So I invited her over for a little baking.
When Michal knocked on my door, I was on the phone, my 5 pm teleconference having run late. I invited her in, offered her a drink and anything else she could find in my refrigerator, and then promptly disappeared into my home office for another 20 minutes.
Phone in hand but computer off, I finally rejoined her in the kitchen, sink filled with dishes and pots that I hadn't finished washing, and we settled down to work. She explained that her challah recipe was less about the ingredients and more about the process and experience.
"Right, so what do we need to get started?" I asked, turning to the pantry, grabbing two different flours and sugar.
My phone rang. "I'm sorry, I have to take this." Phone cradled between ear and shoulder, I pulled out eggs and yeast from the refrigerator and continued my call, opening one of the silverware drawers and pointing towards the measuring cups, then running back to my office to draft a quick email. I then changed out of my work dress and into a tanktop and pair of gauchos.
Upon my return, Michal was measuring out ingredients, rifling through my cabinets to find what she needed. "Good, you made yourself at home." I put my phone down at the far edge of the counter.
Michal stood in the middle of my kitchen, her feet comfortably turned out somewhere between first and second positions. She directed me to mix warm water, sugar, and dry yeast in a bowl until it bubbled. I reached for my KitchenAid mixing bowl – and she said we could use the bowl, but we wouldn't be using the mixer. We'd be kneading it ourselves.
"Right. I forgot about that part." I switched to a regular bowl, added the yeast, lukewarm water, and sugar, and we waited for the bubbles to show that the yeast has proofed.
While waiting, Michal explained the theory behind what she calls "deep breath baking." She views the baking of challah as an allegory for the week: the reward for hard work is a period of much-needed (get it?) rest over shabbat. She recommends preparing the challah with intention and attention, savoring all the senses stimulated by the look, feel, smell, and taste.
We decided that our challah would be filled with the intentions of love and groundedness.
Once the yeast had proofed, we measured out flour, salt, oil, water, and eggs and began to mix. After a few swipes with a wooden spoon, I dug right in with my hands. I turned the shaggy dough out onto my counter and began to knead. Michal's technique for kneading dough starts not with the arms and shoulders, but with the entire body, taking a bracing stance and rocking back and forth with the dough. She explained that kneading the dough strengthens the bonds between wheat proteins to form gluten and create elasticity. She instructed me to breathe deeply, taking advantage of the elasticity of my own lungs and filling them to capacity.
I built up a rhythm: inhale – lean back – scoop and gather dough, exhale – lean forward – push dough, inhale- back – scoop and gather, exhale – forward – push.
For the next ten minutes, I focused on the rocking motion, watching my hands push and pull the dough. It reminded me of how I feel when I roll out pastry dough. Calming. My mind free and uncluttered. Thinking of little more than the back and forth and the responding dough.
Michal emphasized that rest is in the challah recipe. When she normally teaches her "deep breath baking" course, she spends the hour while the challah is rising to lead a yoga class. Participants often arrive to her class armed with a mat.
We knew the dough was ready to rise in the warmth of a recently turned off oven when the dimples made by sticking in two finger remained. We spent the rising time preparing a dinner of udon and salad.
Despite my misgivings, I didn't escape the meditation part. By the time the challah was in the oven, I was ready. We braided the loaves (more later on my newly-discovered round challah braiding technique), doused them with egg wash, and loaded them into the oven. While the air filled with the sweet scent of bread, Michal led me through two meditations, one to help ground me and another to open up my heart.
The timer buzzed. I felt invigorated.
We enjoyed the fruits of our labor.
How to weave a round challah
With Rosh Hashana just around the corner, I've been experimenting with different techniques to make round challah. In the past, I've always used the coil strategy, but I decided it wasn't fancy enough. I searched around and found some great instructions for making a woven round challah. Trust the Chabad women – they know their challah! (Note: formatting on the website is difficult to read, so I've made a document that is easier to read. All of the content is exactly the same.)
On the night when Michal and I baked together, I made my first attempt. Not too bad, but with practice, I think I've gotten the technique down. It does take a bit of extra time and concentration. So, if you're hurrying around the kitchen, trying to do a million things…it's probably not the best time for a trial. But when you do have an extra few minutes, take a few breaths and try this technique. And let me know how it goes.
These instructions look much more complicated then they are – you can pretty much get by with looking at the pictures, but I've tried to be as explicit as possible to make things easy on you.
Divide. After your dough has risen, divide it into four strands (or eight strands if you're going to make 2 loaves).
Weave 1. Place two strands next to each other. The next two strands will be perpendicular to the first two. Take a third strand and from left to right, place it under the first strand and over the second strand. Take a fourth strand, put it beneath and parallel to the third strand, and from left to right, place it over the first strand and under the second strand. This should form a woven cross. Each of the parallel pairs has a strand that's an "over" and a strand that's an "under." In the picture below, in the top pair, the left strand is an over (let's call it #1) and the right strand is an under (let's call it #2). Make sense?
Weave 2: Counterclockwise. In each parallel pair, cross the under over the over. So, in the top pair above, cross the right (#2) over the left (#1) and place #2 at a 90 degree angle counterclockwise from #1 (essentially at the 9 o'clock position). Repeat with all four pairs in a counterclockwise direction. The old overs are now unders and have not moved. The old unders are now overs and have moved counterclockwise 90 degrees. There are now 4 new sets of pairs – line each pair up in parallel lines as best as you can.
Weave 3: Clockwise. Now we go clockwise. Are you still with me? Just a few more steps and we're almost there. This is the same move as before – in each parallel pair, cross the unders over the overs — but clockwise this time. Looking at the top pair, you will want to cross the left over the right. In the picture below, I'm pulling the first under over its over (in the 3 o'clock position — sorry for not starting at the 12 o'clock position).
Repeat with all four pairs in a clockwise direction until it looks like this. Pretty cool, no? Not as hard as it sounded, right?
Keep going. If you still have some room on the strands, continue weaving, switching directions with each round. I was able to make one more counterclockwise weave.
Gather and flip. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment. When you can weave no more, gather the ends of all 8 strands in one hand and pull towards the center of the challah. With the other hand, pick up the bottom of the challah and then flip it over so that all the short strands are underneath, and place on the parchment.
Bake. Bake as you normally would. I typically brush the challah with an eggwash (egg beaten with a little cold water) and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

This is the headstone at the grave of Elizabeth Dawson (nee Overton) at Holy Trinity Church, Cowling, West Yorkshire. She married my 2nd cousin 3x removed, Thompson Dawson.
Elizabeth was born about 1848, probably in Cowling. There are two births registered in the name of Elizabeth Overton, one in 1847 and the other in 1848. Both are registered in the Skipton registration district. So without getting at least the marriage certificate and probably one or both birth certificates I can't be sure which is the correct person.
Anyway, Elizabeth and Thompson married in the December quarter of 1868. Again this was probably at Holy Trinity Church in Cowling.
Thompson and Elizabeth made their home in the small hamlet of Middleton on the outskirts of Cowling. I have found them in the 1871 census together with their son William Henry Dawson.
They had at least one other son, Ernest, born in 1874.
Elizabeth died on 8 June 1880 and was buried four days later at the young age of 32.

First week of our vegan challenge and I have to say, we're doing pretty good! I was expecting to feel hungry and to miss all my dairy staples. And I was also concerned about eating too many carbs. But none of that has been an issue so far!
After our last posts, I got a lot of feedback from friends and family. Most of it good and encouraging thankfully.
But the one thing people have asked the most was, why? Why did I decide to go vegan? And the question makes sense, since I never really explained it.Well, a couple of reasons:
First, my energy level has been really low lately. Not sure why, but I knew it probably had something to do with my diet. I knew I needed a change. I remembered when Ruth first decided to go vegan, the first thing she noticed was how much energy she had. So I figured, why not give it a try??
Second, I realized also that the amount of junk food lying around the house had been increasing dangerously over the past few months. And I didn't like it. So going vegan has forced me to not only become more creative, but also make sure I always have TONS of different fruits, veggies and grains on hand. Junk food is off limits now, locked in the junk food cabinet!
So… on my quest for vegan creativity, I came up with this tasty side dish. My inspiration? The market, of course, where I found beautiful fresh peas that stared at me screaming "Buy me!!". And also, our friend Mo (personal trainer and nutrition "master") who right now is really into the "bacon-is-good-for you-and-helps-you-lose-wait" theory. Sounds kinda weird, doesn't it? And fascinating at the same time. Honestly, I'm not sure I get it (maybe I should ask him to write a post explaining it?). But I asked him if vegan bacon counted anyway… Can you guess the answer?? Big fat NO!
It's ok though. I'm very content with my fake bacon. Even if it doesn't make me skinny 🙂
Fresh Peas with Vegan "Bacon"
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 12 mins
- Total Time: 22 mins
- Yield: 2 1x
- 2 cups shelled fresh peas
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup chopped onion (1 small)
- 4–5 strips of meatless bacon, chopped (we use Lightlife Smart Bacon)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- ¼ tsp salt
- Lemon pepper to taste (optional)
- In a large soup pot, bring salted water to a boil. Place the shelled peas on a steaming basket en gently drop it in the boiling water. Cook for about 2 minutes
- In the mean time, prepare a large bowl with iced water
- Remove the basket from boiling water and gently place it into the ice water bath. Let it sit for a couple of minutes, then remove and drain the water. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil, add chopped onions and cook until translucent
- Add "bacon" and cook for 2-3 minutes
- Add peas, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Cook for an additional 6-8 minutes.
- ENJOY! From May I have that recipe


text: Thank you for visiting my humble gallery. A quick note: It will be a month or two before I have all my best work ready for display in this gallery, however I think you will find an amble assortment of my work available. (I will be adding new pictures daily.) Also, good news, my commission fees are now 50% the recommended level, so everything is about 25% off until the end of the year to celebrate the Grand Opening of my Gallery. 24x18" is the size I recommended for a nice gallery size quality HD print. (Currently about $38 each.) FYI, I think the larger prints, canvas, matts and frames are a bit over priced. (I have no control over those fees.) But for those with deep pockets who want to get someone something special, the price might be worth it. (The coffee mugs are pretty good value, and would make a nice gift. I got one, and thought it was well worth the money.) INTRODUCTION My name is Jon G. Volden, I am also known as Jon Quest on facebook, DunJon on Model Mayhem. I specialize in fantasy, scifi, cosplay, and flesh & steel like photography. (But occasionally do artsy stuff.) I am known mostly for my unique style of "Flesh and Steel photography", the juxtaposition of steel next to flesh. Think of Conan, and the secret of steel, and the secret of flesh. It is my goal to explore both secrets in my work. Although this type of photography can be very sexy, it is not about sex, it is about male and female empowerment. A woman or a man in the wild may become a victim, but put a weapon in their hands, and/or dress them in light armor, and they become hunters, heroes, and masters of their own destiny! In addition, I am also known for my signature style of IRc portraits and V-girl pinup images. Other photography I do includes vogue fashion, portrait, wildlife, landscape, band and glamour style photography. My photography is divided into three types. "Basic," pure photographic image simply cropped with minor color adjustments. "Enhanced." a simple background is usually added to create more feeling in an image. And "Modified," which includes extensive photo alterations to add more context to my work. (Such as redrawing large parts of an image, adding unreal creatures and/or backgrounds and a variety of special effects. I should also note, that people are used to seeing small photos. 8.5 x 11 is usually the portfolio norm. I invite all visitors to enlarge my pics as far as they will go, and see the difference between my work and that of other photo artists. This gallery contains the first 5 years of my work. Please look around and if you see something like... -well you know, feel free to buy it. All pictures may be printed on demand, at various sizes, on various surfaces including on coffee mugs:) Frames are also available for those who wish to spend the extra money, and/or purchase something "gift" ready. If you would like something actually signed by me, personalized signing may be arranged. QUICK NOTE FOR MODELS. It might be wise to share this site with all your friends, because, most of the "amateur" models used in my photographs and digital artwork will receive about half of the profits I might make from sales of their image in this gallery. (or about of 1/4 of the base print price, frame prices are not included for me or for them.) The more people who see this site, the more people are likely to buy your image, and thus earn you a commission. (FYI, friends and family are the most likely to want to by an image.) A final note: The most entertaining way to enjoy my gallery is to click on the first picture, and then hit the next button. I only wish I could offer music, wine, cheese and crackers to add to your viewing pleasure. (Feel free to create you own like ambiance awhile viewing my gallery)

SiteGround launches student hosting program
SiteGround has launched publicly a new hosting program aimed at university students, faculty members, and academic organizations. The program has started as an internal initiative when SiteGround agreed to provide free hosting for the students of several university professors who were using the company's hosting services for their personal projects. Now it has grown into a full-fledged program accessible through a separate section of SiteGround's website, located at: https://www.siteground.com/student-hosting.htm
The program has two branches, aimed at the two main target audiences — the educators and the individual students. The offer for the faculty members is essentially the same that got the whole program started: it allows each approved professor to enroll anyone, who participates in his/her course, for a free hosting account. The main new thing in the SiteGround students hosting program though is that individual students can now participate as well. Each student can get a one year full-featured hosting account by SiteGround at a highly-discounted price. The only requirement is to provide a valid e-mail with the .edu extension. Another addition to the program is the opportunity for student organizations to partner with SiteGround and receive free hosting for their websites.
"Now that we have successfully helped more than 700 students get a high-quality hosting for their university courses we are ready to move forward and extend this opportunity to the whole population of future designers, developers, and content creators to try state-of-the-art hosting solution" said Ilia Markov of SiteGround's marketing department who was responsible for coordinating the launch of the new program.

But WOW was the same way. I just hate it because it killed every slight-sandboxy MMO out there, and then for 5 years games can be broken into two categories "Polished WoW Clones" and "Unpolished WoW Clones" (aka turds). I just have trouble really getting into Theme Park MMOs, even though I think SWTOR will be the best Theme Park MMO out there.

Howard Berkes
Howard Berkes has been NPR's rural affairs correspondent since March 2003 focusing on the politics, economics, and culture of rural America.
Based in Salt Lake City, Berkes reports on stories that are often unique to non-urban communities or provide a rural perspective on major issues and events. In 2005, he was part of the NPR reporting team that covered Hurricane Katrina and in 2010, he reported from West Virginia on the disaster at the Upper Big Branch mine. Berkes' reporting also includes the impact of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on military families and service men and women from rural America, including a disproportionate death rate from this community. During multiple presidential and congressional campaigns, Berkes has covered the impact of rural voters on those races.
Berkes has covered seven Olympic games including the 2004 Summer Games in Athens, the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing and the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver. He was part of the reporting team that earned NPR a 2009 Edward R. Murrow Award for Sports Reporting for coverage of the Beijing Olympics.
In 1981, Berkes pioneered NPR's coverage of the interior of the American West and public lands issues. He's traveled thousands of miles since then, to every corner of the region, driving ranch roads, city streets, desert washes, and mountain switchbacks, to capture the voices and sounds that give the region its unique identity.
Berkes' stories are heard on Morning Edition, All Things Considered and Weekend Edition. His analysis of regional issues has also been featured on NPR's Talk of the Nation. Berkes has also been a substitute host of Morning Edition, and Weekend All Things Considered.
An easterner by birth, Berkes moved west in 1976 and soon became a volunteer at NPR member station KLCC in Eugene, Oregon. His reports on the 1980 eruptions of Mt. St. Helens were regular features on NPR and prompted his hiring. Berkes is sometimes best remembered for his story that provided the first detailed account of the attempt by Morton Thiokol engineers to stop the fatal 1986 launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger. Berkes teamed with NPR's Daniel Zwerdling for the report, which earned a number of major national journalism awards. In 1989, Berkes followed up with another award-winning report that examined NASA's efforts to redesign the Space Shuttle's rocket boosters.
Reporting by Berkes in 1998 helped transform the Olympic bribery scandal from a local story in Utah into a media firestorm and attracted international attention. His ongoing reporting of Olympic politics and the Olympic Games has made him a resource to other news organizations, including The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer on PBS, MSNBC, A&E's Investigative Reports, the British Broadcasting Corporation, the French magazine L'Express, and many others. When the Olympics finally arrived in Salt Lake City, Berkes' coverage included rides in a bobsled and on a luge sled in attempts to help listeners understand how those sports work.
Berkes has covered Native American issues, the militia movement, neo-nazi groups, nuclear waste, the Unabomber case, the Montana Freemen standoff, polygamy, western water issues, and more. His work has been honored by many organizations, including the American Psychological Association, American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Society of Professional Journalists, the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial, and the National Association of Science Writers.
Berkes also trains news reporters, consults with radio news departments, and serves as a guest faculty member at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies. Berkes was awarded a Nieman Foundation Journalism Fellowship at Harvard University in 1997.

It used to be that dogs were given names such as Fido, Spot and Rover. Those days are long gone."Pets are a member of the family," said Anabel Conner, who has three dogs -- Sheba, Fawn and Ella.
"The trend in naming pets is going toward more human names," said Conner, who is also the community leader of Parents Connect.Parents Connect also provides a database of more than 11,000 dog and 27,000 baby names at PetNamesWorld.com and BabyNamesWorld.com.Conner, who considers herself a name expert, said that in addition to choosing names that are more human like, there are a few rules that dog owners should follow.She said it is important to use vowel sounds and give a name that has no more than two syllables.
"They can really pick up on them. It gets too complicated with more than that, but give a name with a punch to it," she said, because a pet's name is crucial in training.
"Any pet, as soon as they can ID their name, (that) is the first step in training," Conner said.
Three syllable names are OK for pets other than dogs and cats, however.
"You can name your snake Cleopatra," she said. "It's not going to come."
She followed the rules when naming her dogs, although Fawn's name was really difficult to come up with.
"She is a husky. I wanted something to do with nature but, as she was a member of my family, too, I just wanted her to have a name that a person could have, too," Conner said.
Conner said she really likes the name Ella, so that name was easy."
Ella is a name I have always liked, and in my job as a name expert, compiling data and giving advice about baby names to people all the time -- it is one that I had seen that I really liked," she said. "It is a very popular name, though, and one that I wouldn't use for a child of my own, only because I see so many little Ellas and Bellas being named every day."
Theme Names
Lori Krout, creator of Dog-Paw-Print.com, agrees that dogs are being given more human names.
Her website uses research from the Veterinary Pet Insurance, one of the country's largest pet insurance companies. VPI provides the names given by the policyholders. Krout said they track names for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and exotics.
Krout said the trend toward using human names is driven by people who view their pets like children.
"Dogs before were used for work on the farm and different occupations. People would keep them outside in a dog house," Krout said. "Nowadays, they are in the house, even sleeping in the bed sometimes."
Krout also has a few guidelines for naming a dog.
"Have fun, be creative and maybe use a theme," she said. "Also, think about that you will be calling it this all the time, so you don't want it to be some long, crazy name."
Krout said that "theme names" for families with more than one pet commonly come from movies and books, such as Thelma and Louise, or Gable and Bogart.
Krout even chose to give one of her dogs a name from a book. She has Otis, Sofie and Guinevere, who is usually called Guinny.She said Guinevere is named after a character in "Camelot."
For fans of Harry Potter, Krout has compiled a list of possible pet names from the popular series.
Her Web site also has a list of dog names with Australian origin for breeds such as the Australian cattle dog and Australian shepherd. They include names such as Bikkie and Ace. The meanings are also included.
O Names
Some people believe that giving a dog a name ending with the vowel O may make a dog think that the owner is saying, "No."
Krout said she does not believe this rule is true.She pointed to the popular dog name Coco. It is No. 16 on the list of popular girl dog names.
What's Your Ferret's Name?
While a lot of attention is placed on cat and dog names, it is becoming increasingly popular for people to give a lot of thought to the names for their other pets.

Anti-vaccine Sympathy
1) Worried about autism (despite study being discredited)
2) Want to spread vaccines out, not give them all at once
3) Want to skip certain vaccines (usually varicella) since the diseases aren't actually that harmful
4) Want to postpone vaccines
5) Angry and distrustful of doctor for not knowing all inactive ingredients in a vaccine
I read these comments and I just feel frustrated, both as a mother and a doctor. How could these mothers be so stupid? So selfish? Don't they realize these vaccines are safe? Don't they realize the only reason they can even contemplate skipping a vaccine is because the rest of us "risk" our kids? Don't they realize that the kids who can't be vaccinated or do not achieve full immunity are at increased risk because they fail to vaccinate?
Of course, when I'm at the doctor, waiting for my child to get her vaccines, the thoughts in my head are very different:
"OMG, what if she gets a reaction to these vaccines? What if she gets a fever and is awake all night? What if she's cranky for weeks? What if they KILL her?"
"She's so small... maybe we should postpone the vaccines till she's older."
"Why do we have to get so many vaccines at once? This is cruel and inhuman. Maybe we can spread them out?"
"OMG, what if she now becomes autistic??????"
Ultimately, we always get the vaccines. But I do believe most mothers feel that fear when our kids get their shots. That's why I'm sort of resentful of moms who can't man up and go through with it.
38 comments:
It's hard to watch your kid get stuck multiple times with a needle when they go to the doctor and then watch them cry. It's also hard to watch them cry when they come home because their little legs hurt and they don't feel good. Lots of things about being a parent are hard. Just because it doesn't "feel good" to you as a parent, doesn't mean it's not the right thing for your child. I'm with you, Fizzy -- MAN UP, PARENTS!ReplyDelete
(Ok, off soapbox now.)
I found this post annoying. Exhorting parents to "Man up" is not very helpful, as this is not about cowardice. I work in health care, and I am not anti-vax. I encouraged my adult son to vaccinate his child, but I understand why they chose to implement an alternative schedule. One of my own children had an intense reaction to his first DPT. Within a few hours, the injection site became red and swollen; and my son spiked a fever and screamed inconsolably for many hours. I chose to have the rest of my children start that vaccination series later, at 6 months rather than 2 months. Though none of them had a bad reaction to the vaccine, I believe it was sensible not to expose a 2-month-old to the risk of a high fever. You may disagree, but perhaps we could disagree without the condescencion.ReplyDeleteReplies
As a pediatrician, having watched young babies die or be severely brain injured from pertussis, pneumococcal meningitis, and HIb infections, those early vaccines are exactly the ones I would NOT delay. See this heart-breaking story from a mom trying to raise awareness about pertussis for idea of how terrible this disease is in infants (http://kennethaskorner.weebly.com/)Delete
These disease are still not uncommon, and young infants are at particular risk of serious outcomes. With my children, I breathed a sigh of relief once they got those 2 month shots in and had at least some protection (although, yes, I was still scared of febrile seizures, autism, the whole nine yards).
Delay the IPV or Hep B, but don't wait for DTaP or prevnar! It is NOT a sensible choice just to avoid a fever. Also, you should know that the risk of high fever with DTaP is lower now than it probably was when your son got the DTP as an infant.
The pediatrician said it all. When many parents reject vaccines or want them on a different schedule, often they do so without thinking about the reasons why this schedule is encouraged in the first place.Delete
FOr us, it is an ethical issue. Many of the vaccines are created from aborted fetuses. Since we are pro-life, we aren't comfortbale with this practice. So, we have taken the list of vaccines that are made from this method and weighed the risk of the disease. The only vaccine that we have refused is the chicken pox. It isn't about manning up.ReplyDeleteReplies
Your comment implies that little baby fetuses are ground up in the vaccine slurry and injected directly into babies. That is NOT the case.Delete
Great idea, skipping out on the chicken pox vaccine. I mean, we all got chicken pox, so what's the difference, right? And either way, your kid will be protected by herd immunity.Delete
Except it's entirely possible or even likely that in 30 years, your child will visit you while *your* chicken pox has reactivated as shingles. She'll get exposed and since she was never vaccinated, get a severe adult-case of chicken pox, and end up in the ICU or worse. Hope it was worth some theoretical moral issue.
As a pediatrician who watched a completely normal 5 year old girl struggle with her fight to live for weeks in the intensive care unit due to varicella (chicken pox), i find it increadibly frustrated that people think that chicken pox is no big deal. Varicella Encephalitis and Pneumonitis is serious stuff. I just don't see WHY RISK PUTTING YOUR CHILD IN THAT SITUATION - INTUBATED AND COVERED IN OOZING PUSTULES AND RIDDLED WITH SEIZURES. Regular chicken pox isn't harmless.Delete
I'm not against this post, but I will say that I am a resident in Family Medicine and I have not yet vaccinated either of my sons against Hep B (yet). I feel there is NO reason in a Hep B negative mom to give these kids this vaccine at the times they are given except that they are getting other shots on that schedule. Last time I checked, my 2 month old wasn't having sex or injecting drugs. I don't think that I will ever give my kids the Hep A vaccine- the vaccine market is just like the drug company market- if you can make a vaccine, they market it as much as possible. The disease burden of Hep A isn't enough to justify giving that shot to them in my mind. Honestly, I've contemplated not doing the polio vaccine-- except that they may want to travel some day to a place where it is endemic. It's GONE in our country, so why do the IPV? I think we should be open-minded and at least listen to reasons why to change the vaccines given instead of being off- putting and automatically dismissing parent reasoning. I often recommend not giving BOTH MMR and Varicella at the same visit (12 months) but do delay one to 15 months (provided the parent will follow-up) b/c these are two live-attenuated and NEW vaccines to the child. When they still used MMR-V in one vaccine, there was a statistically significant increase in febrile seizures (but not when given in 2 shots on the same visit) but still, I think separating them is wise.ReplyDeleteReplies
I actually saw a teenager on my rehab unit who was a quadriplegic from polio, having been exposed to someone from another country. And since the vaccine is so risky, I'm sure he forgives his parents for not vaccinating him.Delete
You say that separating MMR and varicella is "wise" but admit that it doesn't increase the risk of anything. So why is it wise? I agree that it's important to listen to parents' reasons for wanting to separate shots, that it helps you build a relationship and trust, and I'm sure it makes absolutely no difference if one is given at 15 or 12 months. But I think we need to be honest with ourselves if we're doing this for a medical reason or for the parents' peace of mind. If we're doing it for peace of mind, fine.. that's important too. But be honest, at least with yourself!
Interesting to know about your teenage patient. I have given my kids the IPV- I just mentioned that I had thought about not giving it- and I never recommend to patients NOT to get it. And, you are right. The burden of the disease is much worse than the risk of the vaccine). I'm sorry if I had a tone in my post that put you on the defensive and caused you to feel that you needed to use sarcasm in the phrase about forgiving his parents.Delete
Anyhow, you missed the reason why I said it was wise to separate the MMR and Varicella- it is that they are two new vaccines to the child and they are both live attenuated.
Also, I NEVER recommend skipping or eliminating a vaccine to my patients without them bringing it up. The farthest I ever go is to occasionally mention the MMR/varicella thing IF I know they are reliable parents. I feel that part of being a parent is having a stake in what you want to do for your child's health- they have some responsibility too in having some concern/knowledge of the vaccines, and wanting to ask questions about them.
I apologize for being sarcastic. As I'm sure you know, vaccine talk brings out a lot of strong emotions. I was just surprised to hear that kind of talk from a doctor.... you're the first doctor who sees pediatric patients I've ever talked to who wasn't vehemently in favor of vaccines. Most pediatricians have seen enough bad outcomes from preventable illnesses that they feel very strongly about this topic. Even I see it and i'm not a pediatrician.Delete
I didn't miss the reason why you said to separate MMR and varicella. I understand that they're both new vaccines and both live attenuated, but what I'm asking is what is the evidence that this is dangerous, other than your gut instinct? And why does your gut instinct overrule the recommendations of AAP? Mumps, measles, and rubella are all live attenuated, and are given together. So what makes it okay to give three at once, but not four?
I've heard about chicken pox outbreaks in my area. If my baby got chicken pox at 13 months old and had a bad outcome, I'd feel awful. Is that likely? Maybe not. But probably more likely than having a bad reaction from the vaccine at 12 months but not at 15 months.
Calling these mothers (myself included) selfish, stupid, cowards probably isn't going to get much accomplished. Bullying and shaming a patient into any medical decision also doesn't seem very sound.ReplyDelete
Educate the parent, respect the parent and work towards a solid relationship with the parent. Through plain terms explanation and patience, I think you'll find parents are more receptive.
We are on an alternate vaccinaion schedule. At almost 3 years old, my son is healthy and thriving. He has not infected anyone. He has not died. He has not received MMR or rotovirus. For us, the rotovirus was ridiculous. And we have close friends whose child is extremely ill because of the MMR. I am not a coward because I don't want to see my child endure the horrible lifestyle this young lady endures. I am not stupid because I would rather treat my child for dehydration than a flipped bowel.
Do not assume we are all tin foil hat wearing, fruit cakes who jumped on the newet trend.Replies
You missed my point. The title of the post is "anti-vaccine sympathy" not "anti-vaccine animosity." My whole point is that while I judge these parents when I read what they write on the internet, I recognize that I feel the same exact things myself when my own child is getting vaccinated, so I am, in fact, sympathetic. I hate getting my kid vaccinated and it terrifies me. What distinguishes the mothers who feel that fear and vaccinate anyway, and the mothers who feel the fear and don't vaccinate? I don't know. Tin foil hats, I guess :)Delete
Maybe I am judgmental of parents who vaccinate on an alternate schedule. But if you're honest with yourself, you probably judge parents who DO vaccinate on schedule. Maybe you think they are sheep or they don't love their kids as much as you do.
You don't have to give me advice for how to treat my pediatric patients who are being vaccinated, because I haven't seen a patient under age 17 in over three years and likely never will again.
I don't really judge those who choose to vaccinate on schedule, but much like I dislike hearing uneducated moms spout on about "evil vaccines", I very much dislike moms who fight FOR vaccines just because it's what you're supposed to do. I like the science behind it, I want to know the history. And I have tendency to judge those who don't.Delete
I didn't really mean you in specific, more of a blanket statement. :) I see how you meant it, thank you for clarifying. I feel like a cat when the topic comes up, hackles raised. It's a topic of much stress for many.
I am a neonatologist that works in a NICU that admits sick term infants up to 2 months of age. I am currently taking azithromycin since I was exposed to an infant with pertussis over the weekend, who was given pertussis by an older, unvaccinated sibling. Such a freakin' waste. And guess who is paying for the infant's prolonged hospitalization, as well as prophylaxis for all of the people exposed to the older sibling? Not the parents that didn't vaccinate their child. Nope, that would be all of us, paying for their choice. Aside from the ill infant, the net is wide and the public health implications are huge.ReplyDelete
And by the way, Polio remains eradicated because we continue to vaccinate against it. It wouldn't be so if we stopped vaccinating. I am appalled.Replies
I guess for me, it comes down to the fact that even though I'm scared of the vaccines, I'm far more scared of the diseases. I made my whole family get boosters for pertussis when my baby was born, to protect her till 2 months.Delete
Did you read the comments from the physician above who doesn't agree with all vaccines? That one surprised me most of all. That's the first time I've heard that from a doctor.
Yes, although there are certainly a few pediatricians in my community that market to attract families that believe in "alternate schedules" or not vaccinating. I don't understand it at all. It seems that being a primary care physician requires some understanding of public health.Delete
One of my co-workers, who has type I diabetes and asthma, had a terrible cough for weeks. Yesterday he found out he has pertussis. He doesn't work with children or have any kids of his own, and was probably exposed out in the community (grocery store, post office, church, etc.). It's out there. Guess I'm going to find out if the booster I received when I was in college is still effective.Delete
Just get another booster. If you haven't already gotten cold symptoms it's not too late.Delete
The decision to not vaccinate is as much a personal decision as deciding to drive drunk in that both have the real and indisputuable potention to bring harm to other members of the community. The mothers that are writing in offended at being called "stupid" etc are missing the point (and no one has called you stupid on this form as far as I can tell) - you are risking our children along with your own.ReplyDelete
If my kid died because you didn't vaccinate your kid, I would want you PUT IN JAIL. No question.Replies
I totally agree. Vaccines are required for schools, but refusing is not criminalized. But maybe it should be.Delete
Agreed. My son was a 28 weeker and never got the rotavirus vaccine because he wasn't eligible. If he got rotavirus from an unvaccinated child who could have gotten the vaccine I'm want to hold the parents accountable. My kid is vaccinated on schedule for everything else because I believe in trying to limit harm from preventable diseases.Delete
Rotavirus is a VIRUS that is highly contagious. Almost all children will contract at least one strain by age 3. The virus causes diarrhea, vomiting and low grade fever. It would be almost impossible to tell if your child contracted rotavirus from a nonvacc child or a vacc child as either can get it. A vaccinated child is less likely to, but is still very susceptible. A child who does contract rotavirus has the above symptoms. The risk of getting it is becoming dehydrated. In severe cases a child would need IV fluids, to rehydrate. Even adults get rotavirus. Of all the vaccines, this one is a bit ridiculous.Delete
You get it from tiny pieces of fecal matter transfered to your mouth. Your child could pick it up from a shopping cart, a doctor's office, from the pencils at school, again from anyone caring it. If anything, it would be an issue that the adult or child is not washing/sanitizing their hands enough.
To be fair, my first pediatrician advised me against getting the rotavirus vaccine because he felt the risks were too high. Now the recommendation is to get the vaccine. Probably not as essential as some of the others.Delete
Universal vaccination does offer some extra protection to the less physically robust children like that 28 weeker above. But I've never known women to be willing to take any minute risk with their own children for the greater good.
The first rotovirus vaccine that came out was associated with a *slightly* higher risk of intussuception than placebo. Because in the first world deaths from rotovirus are extremely rare, many people we on the fence regarding whether to require the vaccine. In the third world, where death from diahrreal illness is common, the original vaccine was recommended despite the slightly increased risk.Delete
When the second vaccine came out, a trial recruiting over 70,000 subjects was conducted precisely so they would have the power to detect that particular adverse event (and any other adverse event that was similarly rare). The conclusion of that trial was that the second vaccine is NOT associated with increased risk of intussuception, which is why it is now recommended for all infants.
Yes, hand hygiene is something we all need to do to prevent the spread of disease. However there is poo everywhere and it is unrealistic that we would ever be able to avoid exposure completely.
(and I apologize in advance if I spelled intussuception incorrectly)Delete
I have a very healthy, happy 5 year old. He has been vaccinated on schedule. Received all the recommended vaccines. Nothing wrong with him. Did not, as blondie Jenny "I'm a playboy model therefore I am an expert on vaccines" McCarthy see the life go out of his eyes.ReplyDelete
Pertussis, measles - both are making a comeback. Maybe if some of the fear mongerers had their child have such a disease, they would feel differently, but probably not.
Fizzy, I think that it's terrible that you had those fears. Do you know why you had those? Because the anti-vax community placed those fears. Their "beliefs" are NOT based on science. At all. Their contentions that vaccines are money makers for the drug companies are ridiculous. Vaccines are pretty natural in that they place a live or dead virus in your body and your body makes the immunity. Awesome science.
I am not very sympathetic to anti-vaccinators. The babies who get pertussis because they haven't yet had their vaccines and die? They were murdered by those who didn't get their kids vaccinated.Replies
This post definitely hit a nerve (duh, I'm a mother) and I remember how terrified I was to get my son vax'd with the MMR for fear of him becoming autistic (this was just when the whole MMR causes Autism thing was at its peak). I wanted to post-pone, looked online to see if I could get the 3 vaccines separately, scoured the internet for any possible info. Then I took my son the doctor and asked what I should do. He told me that the effects of my son getting measles and ending up with brain damage are much more likely than him becoming autistic, but that he obviously wouldn't force me to do anything. Then when I was driving home, on the news I heard there was a measles outbreak happening at that moment in my city. That's when it became clear to me that I was being incredibly stupid - stupid that I was RISKING my sons life. I made the appointment the very next day. Of course, afterwards, I held my breath and prayed that my son would be ok.ReplyDelete
When the study that showed that the MMR caused autism was discredited, I was so angry. So angry because of this one stupid man, that do many people were making the decision to greatly delay or worse, not vaccinate at all. My blood would boil when I would read about communities where diseases, such as measels would break out and so many children would be affected, all because a bunch of parents had refused to vaccinate their kids.
Medicine isnt perfect. Neither are vaccines and their schedules. But they are the best option. If your child had cancer, would you really not try chemotherapy just because it is pumping chemicals in to their bodies so strong they could kill them?
What gets me too is that we are living in an increasingly globalized world. People travel to countries where many of these diseases are rampant every day. Just because a disease is rare in North America doesn't mean it can't come back via one traveller who has been exposed.Replies
Exactly (to everything). I am still baffled by the doctor-mom above who is considering not giving her child IPV. It still exists in other countries and the vaccine is essentially harmless! Why???? What is to be gained by taking that risk???Delete
Fizzy- I find your incredulousness over me not being vehemenantly pro-vaccine now somewhat frustrating. In medicine, we all have different opinions/beliefs/takes. Firstly, I never said that I was currently considering NOT giving my child IPV (I said I had considered it -briefly- mostly in a "why do we still do this vaccine?" way)- in the end, it is a disease with a big burden if it happens- both of my children have gotten that vaccine. Also- remember people used to get smallpox vaccines- but now that's not done in the US--granted, it has been declared world-wide eradicated, but still our government worries about it as a bioterrorism weapon. So my reasoning of eradication as a reason not to get the IPV isn't so silly after all. I agree- our "global world" is a reason to give it.Delete
Secondly, we all take some form of the hippocratic oath, yet there are physicians out there on each side of the abortion fence, euthanasia fence, and end of life issues- why is vaccination any different? I liken what you are doing on this post to me the same as yelling out "look at that!" and pointing and laughing at me. I'm not ashamed of what I have said however. Maybe I'm just the only one you have heard say it. I am for vaccinating. I'm also for knowing about them. For example, DTaP- most studies have shown that it's about 85% effective- you don't find that widely publisized (and no, I'm not anti-DTaP). Gardasil? Guess what- it's only been proven to prevent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia NOT cervical cancer (yet) or cervical cancer mortality (yet)....but I bet if you pole most of the public and most of the doctors recommending it, they'd say that it prevents cervical cancer.
I'm for asking "why"--why give the Hep A vaccine? I've asked pediatricians about the HepA vaccine and havent gotten a satisfactory answer yet. In my mind, the answer is "because there is a vaccine"
Guess what? The varicella vaccine is likely going to end up creating a problem that public health hasn't addressed yet. We don't know how many of these girls who have gotten the 2 shot series have converted or keep immunity. What happens when they get pregnant? Uh-oh..are we going to start seeing a resurgence of congenital varicella? I say we start checking titers in pregnancy like we do for Rubella.
So, you have said multiple times you can't believe me as if I should be banned from medicine, but do you think that I've not put thought into this?
poll, not pole.Delete
As I said above, I was just shocked because I have literally never heard a doctor who treats children question vaccines. Most of them have seen or heard of ill effects from preventable diseases (as the pediatrician mentioned above) and are vehemently in favor of them.Delete
The smallpox vaccine was not a harmless vaccine. If it had stayed around, it might be safer by now, but there were reasons to avoid getting it if possible. Have you ever heard of a child having a bad reaction to IPV beyond fever? I'm just wondering, when you were considering it, what you were trying to avoid?
The fact that these vaccines are not fully effective is all the more reason we should push for vaccination, to benefit from herd immunity as well.
I agree with you that the varicella vaccine may create problems we haven't predicted. We don't know if it will reactivate like chicken pox does, or if immunity is kept. Again, none of this is a reason not to get the vaccine... it's possibly a reason to get a booster later. As I told someone above, there's more reason to get the vaccine than ever, because there's a much smaller chance of "getting it over with" early in childhood, and a greater chance of getting it as an adult.
I don't doubt you've put thought into this. Everyone who makes decisions about not vaccinating their children has put thought into it.
I'm loving this heated discussion, so happy I happened up on this blog. I live in Israel, similar vaccine schedule. I was quite surprised that the kids here get Hep A vaccination routinely. (I'm originally from South Africa and I'm pretty sure they don't give it routinely there). I'm interested on more info on Hep A and vaccination if anyone here has.ReplyDelete
I do support the varicella vaccine after hearing many horror stories, and also once most people are vaccinating, as mentioned above, if I don't vaccinate my kids, they probably won't get it as kids, and will be left as adults susceptible to a more severe infection. I'm also on the edge of my seat as what is going to happen in a few years, regarding decisions about boosters and Ashley's interesting suggestion to regularly check titers in pregnant women.
That leads me to another question, I would love to know your policy (I'm assuming you're from the USA?) regarding testing pregnant women for titres and what you do next? Here the policy is not to test if the woman received two vaccinations as a child, yet everybody checks anyway and I have many vaccinated patients with low titers... Then even more debate begins, our health ministry recommends no extra vaccines after two, our health fund recommends one extra, but for the many patients with low titers after 3 vaccines, we don't do anything...
Wow, there are some pretty strong pro-vaccine opinions here! A stronger argument might be provided if the author or posters could provide links to some sound, non-biased, empirical evidence to back up their opinions, and not just first hand experiences. However, I do find that any pro-vaccine argument starts to break down when there are suggestions that anyone choosing NOT to vaccinate themselves or their child are akin to being stupid, selfish baby killers, jeopardizing "the whole herd"! Simply put, if most of the herd is vaccinated, then their so-called "immunity" shouldn't actually be at risk, right? Poor logic does not make for sound arguments. While I am neither strongly pro or anti-vaccine, I am pro-informed consent. In Canada, we have the right to informed consent both for ourselves and on behalf of our children, and we have the inherent right to refuse treatment. What I find lacking still in modern allopathic medicine, is full product disclosure of ingredient lists and disclosure of verified safety and efficacy of vaccines by third party sources, as well as direct permission required to treat rather then merely implied consent to treat through uninformed silence. Until I feel truly confident as a consumer as to the safety and efficacy of a product, and until the medical profession uses education and informed consent rather then direct or implied threats, bullying or coercion (as evidenced even in this forum), I will continue to exericse my constituional right to allow my own conscience to guide what's in the best interest of my own, and my family's health at any given time.ReplyDelete

If you've had a Tim Tam, then you can just skip this review, print out your $1 off coupon, and head to Target. (Don't forget to get some cold milk while you're there.) If you haven't had a Tim Tam, then read on.
What is a Tim Tam? It's two chocolate malted biscuits that are held together by a fluffy chocolate cream filling and coated in a thin layer of smooth chocolate. The Aussies can't get enough of them. In fact according to Arnott's, the maker of Tim Tams, Aussies eat over 400 million Tim Tams per year, or nearly two boxes per person!
The Tim Tams here in The States are from Pepperidge Farm. I have sampled both chocolate creme and caramel and prefer the chocolate. I found the caramel too saccharine; though when I crushed them on some vanilla bean ice cream and tossed in some salted peanuts, I liked them much better. The chocolate Tim Tams are delicious. The contrasting textures of crisp malted biscuits, soft cream filling, and silky chocolate are oh-so-satisfying. They have just the right amount of sweetness and are exceptionally good when paired with a tall glass of cold milk or a hot mug of coffee.
Now for the best part: One lucky Food Blogga winner will receive a free package of chocolate creme Tim Tams! Here's what you have to do to win:
With the help of random.org, 1 winner will be randomly selected and announced in a future post, so please check back. Since I'll be mailing the cookies, this give-away is open to all Food Blogga readers wherever you live. The winner will need to provide her or his real name and mailing address. Don't have a blog? Just leave an active email address where you can be reached. Good luck, everybody!

Upon discovering a leak in the roof of your home you are likely to experience a feeling of anxiety and uncertainty. It is easy to panic and reach for the nearest 'quick fix' remedy available. However, the first thing to remember is that your roof probably did not begin to leak overnight, and a little bit of time spent deciding on the best repair could save you a lot of cash later on.
One of the first things you should do is to assess the general condition of the roof as a whole; has the roof been renewed recently? Or has it been in place for 30 years? Are there other areas for concern on the roof surface? It may even be that the leak has only become noticeable because a valley or gutters have become blocked. Even a relatively sound roof can develop a small leak in prolonged periods of harsh weather such as driving rain or heavy snow.
If your roof has been renewed recently, it is best to contact the contractor or company who installed it. All reputable roofing contractors should guarantee their workmanship for a period of time after installation. It may be that the roof requires a little bit of general maintenance but will remain serviceable for some years to come.
The application of quick fix roof repair products can affect any future repairs to the roof. Applying roof repair paints, mastics, sealants or tapes may well stop a leak in your tiles, valleys, roof lights and gutters.
However this repair is likely to only last for a short amount of time. After a couple of years the leak may need to be addressed again. The short term fixing products may leave behind residues or may not be removable from the roof. This scenario would result in the need to replace the affected section of roof. Therefore using quick fix products on a fairly new roof could result in replacing the roof sooner than would have been necessary if a roofing contractor had been called in to fix the initial problem.
It is not all doom and gloom in the world of roof repair products – there are some great applications for these types of products. For example, when you are aware that your roof needs full replacement but you just haven't quite got enough cash saved up to do the job yet. For reasonably little money you can fix the roof yourself and get another few months life out of it.
Perhaps the gutters are leaking and you want a quick fix to ensure you don't get damp coming through the walls. A tube of sealant can work wonders until you can get the gutters replaced or mended by a professional.
There are also times when there is no other option but to use a quick fix product. This is most likely when an element of the roof has not been installed properly, for example, a roof light or flashing. Without starting over with the roof, the only thing anyone can do is to use a sealant or similar product to repair what is there.
If you are unsure what to do with your roof problem, a reputable contractor should always be able to give you sound advice and a quotation for any works required. Remember – you shouldn't feel pressured into having works carried out. Your local builders merchant or building supplies store should be able to recommend a good contractor if you aren't sure who to contact.

I read recipes at the gym. While the shocking part of that sentence is the part about going to the gym, I'd prefer to talk about the recipes. You probably would too.
It started innocently enough. Two weeks ago, I stuffed the most recent Saveur in my gym bag when I couldn't find a New Yorker – my up-until-then preferred gym reading material. Trotting on the elliptical, I contemplated opening my own food truck. In between stretches, I dreamt of eating my way down Route 7 in France from Paris to Menton.
Last week, I graduated to cookbooks. I started with Melissa Clark's In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite. I had bought the book weeks before after making Clark's tomato tarte tatin recipe. But when the box arrived and I ripped open the shrink wrap, my heart sank: there were no pictures. Not even a few glossy pages in the middle. Had I read the reviews, I would have know that. But I ordered it on faith with one too-easy click of the buy button. I placed it back in the box and tried to figure out who might soon be receiving it as a gift.
The book taunted me from its lonely cardboard home, its spine not so much as cracked, its pages not dog-eared and splattered. It begged to be read. And, having avoided the gym for days with the excuse of nothing good to read, I lugged this 1-pound 14-ounce 444-page hardcover cookbook to the gym. I figured it would keep me company while pedaling and tone my biceps as I lifted it on and off the bike.
The spinning spun by quickly. Until I nearly fell off of my bike laughing when I read, "Every Thanksgiving when I was a kid, my uncle Danny used to say, 'I like my turkeys built like Jane Fonda, with small [*$*#] and a big [@##].'"
Steadying myself and finishing my workout, I found dinner.
As you can probably tell by the photos, I roasted carrots. I'm not going to suggest that anyone eat just than a big bowl of carrots for dinner, but if you were to eat carrots – and carrots alone – for dinner, these are the carrots to eat.
Here's what Clark writes about roasting vegetables:
You can roast almost anything to delectable results. Just take whatever it is you want to eat, toss it with loads of olive oil and more salt than you think you need, and put it in a low-sided pan in a hot oven. While you unload the dishwasher or mash some garlic for a vinaigrette, your dinner will soften on the inside and caramelize on the surface, taking on that characteristic roasted, sweet flavor. It will condense and deepen in the heat, becoming more intensely itself in taste. Beets get beetier, broccoli gets broccolier.
Under her tutelage, my own dinner of carrots got carrotier. As directed, I roasted the carrots with a smidge of red pepper and let them shrink and shrivel to the essence of their carrot-ness. Minutes before they were ready, she upped the ante by adding a drizzle of thick dark pomegranate molasses (syrup). The pomegranate sugars caramelized and intensified the already carrotier carrots' natural sweetness.
As I raised one of these orange beauties to my mouth, a drop of still-hot pomegranate caramel burned my skin. No pain, no gain, right? It sure seemed worth it for these carrotiest carrots of all.
And with that adage, I'll be dragging my own Jane Fonda @## back to the gym to finish up the book.
Pomegranate roasted carrots
It's hard to actually call this a recipe – instead I've provided guidelines and very approximate measurements for a single serving – a decent-sized bowlful – of carrots. I modified it from Melissa Clark's In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite. These carrots call for a few specialty Middle Eastern ingredients, and I've provided some easier-to-find alternatives. First we have pomegranate molasses, also called pomegranate syrup — is a very concentrated pomegranate juice Without any added sugar, it has a natural sweetness combined with a puckering tartness. You can make your own by boiling down pomegranate juice until very dark, thick, and able to coat the back of a spoon. In a pinch, you could also use balsamic vinegar either as is or boiled down to a thicker concentrate as well. If you do buy some pomegranate molasses or make your own, try it out in these other recipes: tomato tarte tatin, lahmajun-style meat sauce, and spoon lamb. The other specialty ingredient is aleppo pepper. This is a mild Syrian pepper that looks a little like red pepper flakes; if you can't find any, substitute a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Another tip – to avoid having to scrub caramelized pomegranate off of your cookie sheet, roast the carrots on a sheet of parchment paper (or aluminum foil) – you'll thank me later.
Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Peel 6-8 carrots, cut them in half width-wise and then in half or quarters lengthwise depending on how thick the carrots are. Try to make them all approximately the same size. Scatter the carrots on the parchment, drizzle with 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil, 2 pinches of salt, a good grind of pepper, and a pinch of aleppo (or cayenne) pepper. Shake the pan to make sure that the carrots are evenly coated with the oil and spices and then spread them out in a single layer.
Roast the carrots for approximately 30 minutes total, with a few quick interruptions. After the first 15 minutes, shake the tray around (or just use a fork) again to stir the carrots so they'll evenly roast. Ten minutes later, drizzle the carrots with 1-2 teaspoons of pomegranate molasses (or more to taste – the more molasses, the stickier/sweeter/tarter the carrots will be), and shake the tray around again to mix. Throw them back in the oven for the last five minutes. The carrots are ready when they're slightly shriveled, soft but not mushy, and covered in a golden glaze of pomegranate.

Vander Blue hit a running lay-up with one second left completing Marquette's comeback win, 59-58, over No. 14 Davidson on Thursday in a second-round game of the NCAA Tournament's East Regional at Rupp Arena.
Davidson's De'Mon Brooks threw the ball away with 6.7 seconds left and a one-point lead, and Marquette was given a final shot. Jamil Wilson inbounded the ball to Blue near midcourt with five seconds remaining, and Blue drove all the way to the basket on Davidson's Jake Cohen.
Blue, a 6-foot-4 guard, went to his left and got the ball off the backboard just over Cohen, who is 6-10.
Davidson (26-8) had won 17 games in a row, which was the longest active winning streak in the country.
Blue hit a 3-pointer with 28 seconds left to bring Marquette within two points, but Nik Cochran answered with two free throws for the Wildcats.
The Wildcats took an early 12-2 lead but allowed Marquette back in the game to take a 20-19 lead. From that point on—about five minutes remained in the first half at that point—until about the 10-minute mark in the second half, neither team could make a run. Whether it was on account of good team defense or poor execution and shooting on offense is debatable; either way, neither Marquette nor Davidson could make shots.
Throughout the drought it was Cohen who became the lifeblood of the Wildcats' offense. He struggled from the floor in the first half—his advanced post game was still giving him opportunities, the shots just weren't falling—but his persistence paid off in the second half.
He scored four points for Davidson in what was the biggest run for the Wildcats, a 10-2 stretch that gave them a 49-40 lead with 6:26 to play.
Cohen finished with a team-high 20 points.
For most of the game, Marquette (25-7) was unable to take advantage of the athleticism advantage it had over Davidson; the Golden Eagles out-rebounded Davidson, 41-29, but couldn't convert those rebounds into points. Marquette finished 34.6 percent from the floor (20-of-58), shooting its worst since it went 19-of-53 (35.8 percent) in a 70-51 loss to Louisville on Feb. 3.
The Golden Eagles' shooting woes reflected those of their two top scorers, Wilson and Blue. They had a combined 30 points points but shot a combined 9-of-28 from the floor.
Marquette will play No. 6 Butler on Saturday.
NOTES: Marquette was in danger of being eliminated in the round of 64 for the first time since 2010, when it lost as a No. 6 seed to Washington 80-78. ... No. 3 seeds are 97-16 in the round-of-64 matchups since the field expanded 64 teams in 1985. ... Davidson has not won an NCAA tournament game since 2008, when Stephen Curry led the Wildcats to the Elite Eight. Before 2008, Davidson's last NCAA tournament victory was in 1969. ... Davidson has played in seven NCAA tournaments under coach Bob McKillop, who is in his 24th year on the Wildcats' sideline.

What is major difference between saying that this occurs due to Kamma and saying that it occurs due to God's will? Why do we believe one and not the other?
