I have a people table with basic contact info in. I have a bunch of criteria that can select Id values (fields called pid) from the people table.
I want records that match ((criterion 1 or criterion 2) and criterion 3).
I want the criteria statements to add columns to the results.
I need a standard way to assemble the queries because I'm making a 'search builder'; so I can't optimise every combination. It can be assumed that each criterion will return zero or one row.
EG1: I first tried
SELECT people.*
FROM people
LEFT JOIN (criterion1 SELECT) c1 ON people.id=c1.pid
LEFT JOIN (criterion2 SELECT) c2 ON people.id=c2.pid,
(criterion3 SELECT) c3
WHERE people.id=c3.pid
AND ( c1.pid IS NOT NULL OR c2.pid IS NOT NULL );
This was far too slow - it never actually returned records in the minute I allowed it!
EG2:Next I tried
SELECT people.*
FROM people,
( (criterion1 SELECT)
UNION (criterion2 SELECT) ) c12
WHERE people.id=c12.pid
AND people.id IN (criterion3 SELECT)
This one returns 2000+ rows in 0.6s, which is acceptable. But you can't add any columns from criterion 3, and can't access columns from c1 and c2 either, really, since one will mask another.
EG3:Out of interest, I moved the c12 into the WHERE clause:
SELECT people.*
FROM people
WHERE id IN (criterion3 SELECT)
AND id IN ( (criterion1 SELECT)
UNION (criterion2 SELECT) )
but again, this threw it for well over a minute before I killed the query.
EG4: So I returned to the EG2 code, and did this ugly thing:
FROM ( all the EG2 SQL ) src
LEFT JOIN (criterion1 SELECT) c1 ON src.id=c1.pid
LEFT JOIN (criterion2 SELECT) c2 ON src.id=c2.pid
So the c1 and c2 queries are added in twice! This returns the (same number of) results, with the extra fields, in 6s. Too slow, really, but at least it runs. And really ugly!
Can anyone give me any pointers to explain any of this? Why is EG3 massively faster than EG1/EG4 when they're all doing the same thing? Why should running the queries twice (EG4) be faster than running them once (EG1)?!
EDIT: Using MySQL 5.1, InnoDB tables.

Sinclair Inlet will soar with activity this Memorial Day weekend. But among the lively events, such as Port Orchard's Fathoms of Fun Festival, and Bremerton's Kitsap Harbor Festival, is one of the regions more unique celebrations: The Seagull-Calling Festival.
"It's a fun, silly thing that we do during Harbor Fest weekend," said Christine Daniel, executive director of the Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce.
May 24 will be Port Orchard's 26th Seagull-Calling Festival.
The calling takes place at Port Orchard's Waterfront Marina Park. Competing callers register at 9 a.m., and the contest starts at 10 a.m. A panel of judges will consider the performance and effectiveness of each caller.
"We have children, adults and even pets that dress up in costumes and do their best to call the seagulls," said Elizabeth Doll of the Port Orchard Chamber of Commerce, which organizes the event.
One by one, callers walk onto the beach and do their best impression of a seagull call, aiming to attract the birds. Contestants are allowed to bring food to bribe the birds. In fact, bribing the judges is not unheard of.
"Everyone enjoys it, most of all the seagulls, who get quite a bit of food," Doll said.
When all is squawked and done, the judges hand out prizes for a variety of feats, some made up that day.
"They create a variety of different awards," Doll said.
"Best Dressed, Best Call, Most Seagulls Called, Best Dressed Pet," she listed.
The gulls aren't the only residents of Port Orchard that will enjoy a tasty bite at the festival. In the annual Seagull Wings Cook-Off, professional and amateur cooks face off in a battle to impress palates with their take on "seagull wings" — more commonly referred to as chicken wings.
"There will be 10 commercial competitors," Daniel said. Port Orchard's Moondogs Too will defend its title, earned at last year's cook-off.
The public gets to experience a flavorful array of wing wonders.

Monhegan Island is the backdrop for quite a few of our spring booklets, and who could blame us? Monhegan is a tiny island off the coast of Maine whose yearly population rarely exceeds 65 people. It embodies everything I love about the New England coastline, rugged and sparse, with a beauty made all the rarer by a touch of danger. Monhegan is only accessible by boat, and the waters are choppy and unpredictable. Swimming is not advised, as the undertow is strong and the shores are impossible to land on or swim to. Cars and even bikes are not permitted here, and the roads are largely unpaved.
In a sense, our booklets Cricket, Shoreline, Rocky Coast and Seaside are your passports to this remote coastal village. Browse through the photos in our preview below to get a closer look.

The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone. A rupture occurs when there is a tearing or separation of the tendon fibers.
|Achilles Tendon Rupture
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Achilles tendon rupture can be caused by:
- Overuse
- Overstretching
- Overworking an inflamed tendon
- Injury from an accident or fall
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of getting Achilles tendon rupture include:
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Recent increase in activity level
- Weak or inflexible calf muscles
- Previous Achilles tendon rupture
- Involvement in sports that involve running, jumping, twisting, or lunging
- Improper footwear
- Obesity
- Certain medications, such as quinolone antibiotics or corticosteroids, which weaken the tendon
- Collagen vascular diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis , lupus, and scleroderma
Symptoms may include:
- Popping or snapping noise when the injury occurs
- Sudden, extreme pain at the back of the heel
- Swelling near your heel
- Inability to push off from the ball of the foot
- Inability to walk on the affected leg
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images may be taken of the affected area. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options may include the one or more of the following:
Supportive Care
You will need time to heal. RICE and immediate medical care are often the first part of treatment:
- Rest—Activities will need to be restricted.
- Ice—Ice therapy may help relieve swelling.
- Compression—Used for a limited time, compression bandages can provide gentle pressure to help move fluids out of the area.
- Elevation—Keeping the area elevated can help fluids drain out or prevent fluids from building up.
Crutches or a walker may be advised to protect the healing tendon.
Prescription or over-the-counter medication may be advised to reduce pain.
Surgery is the most common treatment for this condition. An incision is made in the lower leg and the tendon is sewn back together. A cast , splint, walking boot, or brace is worn for 6-8 weeks. One of the benefits of surgery is that it lowers the risk of re-rupturing the tendon. Surgery may also be a better option if you are physically active.
The other option is to allow your tendon to heal without surgery. In this case, you also need to wear a cast, splint, walking boot, or brace for 6-8 weeks. You also may have different exercises to do. If you are less active or have a chronic illness that prevents surgery, this option may be better for you.
Physical Therapy
A physical therapist will assess the tendon. An exercise program will be created to help recovery and to strengthen the muscles.
To help reduce your chance of getting Achilles tendon rupture, take the following steps:
- Do warm-up exercises before an activity and cool down exercises after an activity.
- Wear proper footwear.
- Maintain a healthy weight .
- Rest if you feel pain during an activity.
- Change your routine. Switch between high-impact activities and low-impact activities.
- Strengthen your calf muscles with exercises.

LOS ANGELES -- An actress who said she was duped into appearing in an anti-Islam film that stoked violent protests against the United States across the Muslim world lost on Friday her second legal bid to force the video off YouTube.
Denying a request by actress Cindy Lee Garcia for a court order requiring the popular online video site to remove the crudely made 13-minute clip, a federal judge found she was unlikely to prevail on her claims of copyright infringement.
U.S. District Judge Michael Fitzgerald of Santa Clara, California, also canceled a December 3 hearing he had previously set for oral arguments over Garcia's request.
Garcia's lawyer, Cris Armenta, told Reuters she planned to appeal the decision.
Actress sues, says she was fooled into acting in anti-Muslim movie
The lawsuit, filed in September, names YouTube and its parent company Google Inc as defendants, along with the film's producer.
A previous motion by Garcia for a temporary restraining order against YouTube's continued posting of the video was rejected by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge.
Garcia's case was the first known civil litigation stemming from the video, billed as a film trailer, which depicts the Prophet Mohammad as a fool and a sexual deviant. The clip sparked a torrent of anti-American unrest in Egypt, Libya and dozens of other Muslim countries.
A judge denied bail for the alleged producer of an anti-Muslim film that sparked Mideast outrage. He was arrested for violating probation from a bank fraud conviction. KNBC's Beverly White reports.
The outbreak of violence coincided with an attack on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi in September that killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
For many Muslims, any depiction of the prophet is considered blasphemous.
Google has refused to remove the film from YouTube, despite pressure from the White House and others to take it down, though the company has blocked the trailer in Egypt, Libya and other Muslim countries.
Copyright claim
Garcia has accused the purported filmmaker of fraud, libel and unfair business practices.
But her federal lawsuit also asserts a copyright claim to her performance in the video, titled "The Innocence of Muslims," and accuses Google of infringing on that copyright by distributing the video without her approval via YouTube.
US-based anti-Islam filmmaker, 6 others sentenced to death by Egypt court
But in a three-page ruling, the judge questioned the validity of such a claim. He held that even if she could prove a legitimate copyright interest in her film performance, she effectively relinquished her rights to producers of the film.
Fitzgerald also ruled that Garcia failed to show that she would suffer irreparable harm without an injunction.
Protests ignited by a controversial film that ridicules Islam's Prophet Muhammad spread throughout Muslim world.
Garcia's lawsuit identifies Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, an Egyptian-born Coptic Christian living in the Los Angeles area, as the film's producer. His legal name has since been established to be Mark Basseley Youssef and he served time in federal prison for bank fraud.
According to the lawsuit, Youssef operated under the assumed name of Sam Bacile when he misled Garcia and other performers into appearing in an anti-Muslim film they believed was to be an adventure drama called "Desert Warrior." She claims to have since received death threats.
Man behind 'Innocence of Muslims' film sentenced to one year in prison for violating probation
"We hope that worldwide the message has been heard that Ms. Garcia was not complicit and did not voluntarily participate in this heinous piece of hate speech," Garcia's lawyer said in a statement, despite Friday's ruling against her.
Youssef was sent back to jail for a year on November 7 for probation violations stemming from his role in making the video, including his use of an alias in connection with the film.

Lexington Medical Center Receives Award for Outstanding Heart Attack Care
Lexington Medical Center has received an award from the American Heart Association for outstanding care of patients with the most dangerous type of heart attack, known as a STEMI. The American Heart Association has awarded Lexington Medical Center with its "Mission: Lifeline®" Silver Level Recognition Award for its efforts to improve the quality of care for STEMI patients.
"Lexington Medical Center is the only hospital in the Midlands to meet 'Mission: Lifeline®' recognition," said Kristin Davis, director of "Mission: Lifeline" South Carolina. "The staff should be very proud of all the hard work they have put into the hospital system."
STEMI is an acronym for "ST segment elevation myocardial infarction." During a STEMI, a coronary artery is completely blocked off and nearly all of the heart muscle supplied by the artery starts to die. This type of heart attack is usually recognized by the changes it produces on an electrocardiogram (ECG).
According to the American Heart Association, nearly 250,000 Americans experience a STEMI each year. The majority of these patients fail to receive appropriate treatment for their life-threatening conditions within recommended timeframes.
The American Heart Association created "Mission: Lifeline®" to provide education about prompt and appropriate STEMI treatment. The Recognition Awards honor hospitals that treat STEMI patients with recommended door-to-device timeframes, and follow up with appropriate medication, treatment and education. The awards also measure the work of EMS and referral centers.
"This award reflects our dedication to heart attack care in all phases of the care continuum at our hospital" said James W. Jeffcoat, MSN, RN-BC, Lexington Medical Center Outcomes Coordinator.
Lexington Medical Heart Center offers comprehensive cardiovascular care, including open heart surgery and therapeutic catheterizations. It is the only Duke Heart Center affiliated program in the Midlands.
The hospital began its complete cardiac care program in 2012. In its first year, Lexington Medical Center performed nearly 200 open heart surgeries. This year, Lexington Medical Center has added a second open heart surgeon. In addition, Lexington Medical Center now offers electrophysiology, a cardiology specialty that focuses on the treatment of abnormal heart rhythms. The hospital is also looking toward providing minimally invasive aortic valve replacement in the future.

Dayton names new poet laureate for Minnesota
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Gov. Mark Dayton has picked a poet who teaches creative writing as Minnesota's chief promoter of poetry.
The first-term governor named Joyce Sutphen to the post of state poet laureate at a Capitol news conference on Tuesday.
Sutphen has published several volumes of poetry and holds a doctorate in Renaissance drama. She teaches literature and creative writing at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter. She grew up on a farm near St. Joseph and now lives in Chaska.
She succeeds Robert Bly, who was picked by former Gov. Tim Pawlenty as the state's first official poet laureate after the position was created in 2007.

Meet Lucian Mattison
Interview conducted at Borjo Coffeehouse, Norfolk
Name: Lucian Mattison
Residence: Norfolk
What is your occupation? I'm a grad student at ODU, getting my MFA in poetry.
How long have you lived in Hampton Roads? I've only been here since August. I've lived all over, but I most recently lived in Gainsville.
How do you take your coffee? Black.
What is the last movie you saw in the theater? The James Bond movie, Skyfall.
Name something you always have stocked in the fridge: Hot sauce—for everything, pretty much.
If you were a fictional character, who would you be? I'd have to go with Wolverine because he just does his own thing. Plus he has the claws. I was a big X-Men fan growing up.
What is one of your biggest accomplishments? I climbed Mt. Kinabalu on the Island of Borneo.
You're stuck on a deserted island and can only have three things with you (besides food and water). What are they? Music, endless paper and pens, a library.
If you could go to lunch with any famous person, who would it be? I'd like to go to lunch with Che Guevara. That'd be an interesting conversation. I'd like to hear what he's got to say about his philosophy.
If you had the power to solve any current issue, what would you fix? I'd wipe out the AIDS crisis.
Who's playing at your dream concert? Well, it'd have to be a small venue. Juana Molina—she's an Argentine folk artist—would be the opening act, and Radiohead would be the main event.

USO Opens New Warrior and Family Center at Bethesda
After a year of construction and several years of planning and fundraising, the ribbon was finally cut on April 1 at the USO Warrior and Family Center located on Naval Support Activity Bethesda, home of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland.
The center – which is the sister structure to the USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir, Va. – opened to troops, families and caregivers the next day and provided a much-needed home away from home for wounded, ill and injured troops and their families and caregivers living on the installation.
More than 200 people – including Department of Defense officials, wounded warriors, esteemed donors and even Miss America – attended the ceremony at the new center.
"This is where the future begins," USO President and CEO John I. Pray, Jr., said. "We built this Warrior and Family Center to serve all troops and their families who pass through this healing center of excellence."
The 16,217-square-foot center has places for recovering troops and their families and caregivers to relax and plan their futures away from the grind of the hospital. Outfitted with state-of-the-art technology, the Warrior and Family Center has a classroom for recovering troops to take college courses, plenty of computers and a fireside lounge and kitchen where they can relax and grab a bite to eat.
Troops seeking to have a good time can hit the sports lounge, where they can watch the biggest games, or visit the studio, where they can work on creative projects or jam on house instruments.
"It's hard to capture in words what a center like this means to recovering warriors and their families," said Adm. James A. Winnefeld, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "To be able to get away – in the midst of it all – to such a beautiful, peaceful and comfortable place right here on campus … is more than just nice to have. It is an essential part of recovery."
Cheryl Laaker Hall, vice president of operations for USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore, spoke with confidence when she talked about the center's future.
"We're very certain, after the last few days of being here, that we have a winner," she said. "We know that troops and families want to be here. They need a place like this, where they can go and be themselves. … We're just so proud to have this facility and be able to be that space for them."
USO,What to Expect Foundation Host Baby Showers for Military Moms-To-Be
The time-honored tradition of celebrating the birth of a child with a baby shower is one of the moments many of our expectant military moms miss out on, especially if they live overseas. To help fill that void, the USO, in collaboration with the What to Expect Foundation and author Heidi Murkoff, brought "Special Delivery," a very special baby shower to military moms in Landstuhl, Germany.
"Motherhood is the ultimate sisterhood," said Murkoff, the best-selling author of "What to Expect When You're Expecting." "For military moms-to-be, far from their immediate family and friends, these baby showers are more than gift bags and cake. They are about connecting and sharing a common bond and creating friendships with women experiencing the same mix of emotions."
Over three days, the USO and the What to Expect Foundation hosted three baby showers for hundreds of new and expecting military moms in Germany. Each baby shower featured food, gifts and games as well as a question-and-answer session and book signing with Murkoff.
"Military families sacrifice countless everyday moments in service to our country," said USO Europe Regional Vice President Walt Murren. "It is such an honor for USO Europe to host a program like Special Delivery, because for many of these women this may be their only baby shower. We want to make sure it's an experience they won't soon forget."

Longtime USO of Georgia CEO Looks Back – and Forward
As the Vietnam War was raging in late 1968, a USO ad in a newspaper caught the eye of Mary Lou Austin, who was teaching in Washington, D.C. After interviewing for a job, she was hired and sent to New York City – then the home of USO headquarters.
Forty-five years later – after holding numerous USO jobs and traveling around the world – Austin is still with the organization, serving as president and CEO of the USO of Georgia.
"I guess you can say the ad made me curious," she said. "The organization interested me, and the mission compelled me. … I started in January of 1969, and thus began my wonderful, meaningful journey serving troops."
She's been able to support thousands of service members and their families over the years and taking care of them has always been her top priority—and her favorite part of the job.
"We [at the USO] have unique opportunity to provide a myriad of programs and services to the committed and courageous men and women serving our country. … You see them in happy times and in times of sadness, but at the USO, you represent a living symbol of respect and honor for their service."
Austin said she's been fortunate to have had such a gratifying career, and even after helping countless troops and families, she remains dedicated to our spirit-lifting mission.
"USO receives many accolades and awards, but the most meaningful part is knowing that you truly helped someone in some way, through a program, service, or even a smile."
USO Helps Woman on Journey After Marine Brother's Death
On Nov. 30, 2011, Marine Staff Sgt. Vincent J. Bell, 28, was killed by an IED in Afghanistan. The youngest of three children, he was on his first tour of duty in Afghanistan after having served four tours in Iraq.
"He was the sweetest, most gentle, loveable man I have ever known. He was the love and light in our family, and every day without him feels so painful," his sister London Bell said.
In October, Bell was approaching the anniversary of her brother's 2011 death in Afghanistan when the USO and Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) offered her a chance to take a trip with others who lost siblings to war. Weeks later, she was making unexpected friends in Manhattan. She was also finding out that she wasn't alone.
"I started out on the journey as a lone traveler, but I left meeting several people who were really just like me," Bell said. "It was a good way for me to bond."
Bell lives in Chicago and relies on TAPS retreats for emotional assurance that is critical to brothers and sisters who lost so much during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. On her retreat, Bell and her fellow sibling survivors were able to enjoy a weekend in New York City together, sharing stories, sightseeing and attending a live taping of "The Daily Show."
"I feel that it is important that I continue to reach out to TAPS to find support," Bell said. "I'm the only person in my circle of close friends who has lost a sibling in battle and it can be very isolating.
"I need to be able to share my story as a sibling," she said. "I do a lot to support my mom and dad and my sister in their grief, but I also need that support for myself."
She's learned a lot about life since Vincent died and wants to be a support to other siblings.
"I can be an ear, a hug and a friend to other sibling survivors, and I want to be able to do that for others on this journey."
NFL Stars Jimmy Graham, Pierre Garcon and Brandon Fields Visit Troops in the Middle East on USO Tour
While the official NFL season ended in February, a trio of professional football players continued the tradition of traveling to the Middle East for an offseason USO tour. New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham, Washington Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon and Miami Dolphins punter Brandon Fields met up with U.S. troops downrange.
"This experience for me has truly been life-changing," said Graham, who caught an NFL-best 16 touchdowns last season. "The personal connection I've been able to make is something that will be with me forever. I grew up in a military home and this just makes me more of a patriot. I have more of an appreciation for the little things we have back home each and every day."
"The best part of this trip [was] being able to spend time with the troops and interact with them," said Fields. "We are truly blessed because of the sacrifices that our men and women of our armed forces are willing to make."
Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol Delivers $25,000 Check to the USO
What would you do if the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol showed up on your doorstep?
Staff and volunteers at the USO Warrior and Family Center at Fort Belvoir, Va., were jumping for joy in January after receiving a $25,000 check from the Publishers Clearing House recent Facebook promotion, The Give Back.
"We're really grateful," said USO Vice President of Operations Glenn Welling, who was presented the check by the Prize Patrol. "This was our first opportunity to get involved with the Publishers Clearing House Give Back promotion, and just to be able to be recognized by the Americans who went online each day is awesome. For 73 years, the USO has been the connection between America and her military, and donations like this one will allow us to continue doing what we are do for another 73 years."
This year's The Give Back event featured three charities: the USO, ASPCA and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Fans were allowed to vote for their favorite charity once per day, with the charities earning prizes based on where they finished in the voting.
"We love being able to give back to the charities our customers care about," said Danielle Bertellotti, assistant manager for digital marketing development at Publishers Clearing House. "Our audience has been very vocal on social media, and they have made it clear that the USO is a charity they care deeply about, so we are very happy to give."

Gold Today In New York the gold price pulled back $10 to $1,654.90 yesterday. In Asia it tried to climb back over $1,660 again before London opened. It Fixed at $1,660.50, up $4 and in the euro at 1,235.12. The euro weakened a little to 1: $1.3430 against $1. Ahead of New Yorks opening, gold was $1,662.80 and in the euro at 1,238.08.
Silver Today Silver closed at $30.86 in New York. Ahead of New Yorks opening silver stood at $31.08.
Gold (very short-term)
We expect gold to continue to consolidate, in New York today.
Silver (very short-term)
We expect silver to continue to consolidate, in New York today.
Price Drivers
Gold & Silver One of the reasons being put forward as to why the gold price is falling and failing to break through the $1,700 levels is because the economic prospects of the developed world are rising. We remind investors, that while the economies of the developed world were booming, prior to August 2007, gold was climbing to new levels. We see the key reason for golds current struggle to climb is due to the relief that the Eurozone debt crisis has not resulted in the breakdown of the E.U. itself or the euro. Thats different from its prospects turning better. It is simply not collapsing. It is traders and speculators who are dictating the very short-term moves of the gold and silver price. They also punt reasons in the developed world for such moves. But at such times as these, a look at the fundamentals can give us a reminder of whats really going on.
The main drivers of the gold price, central bank and Asian demand, remain intact. Despite the cut in Indian interest rates the Indian Rupee remains strong pulling Rupee gold and silver prices to lows not seen for a year or so. With inflation still at high levels there the Indian appetite for gold and silver remains unabated.
And what lies ahead? The arrival of the Yuan as a global reserve currency will create tremendous monetary uncertainty. A future rise in interest rates will do likewise as bond markets tumble. The potential for more monetary crises and uncertainty tells us that the reasons for golds rise since 2005 have not gone away long-term. Short-term we are seeing relief and hope, but not reasons for future confidence such as will make the gold and silver prices fall longer-term. [Subscribe to our newsletters at www.GoldForecaster.com and www.SilverForecaster.com].
Silver Weare not seeing a sell-off in the shares of the silver E.T.F. as the silver price falls again. However, the buying we saw in the last fortnight is not there today. Have prospects for silver changed in the last day? We can see no causes for such. We see consolidation right now and watch those shares in the Silver Trust [SLV] to see what longer term investors feel?

Tularaemia is primarily a disease of a wide variety of wild mammals and birds. Humans become infected mainly through the bite of arthropods, particularly ticks and mosquitoes, and through the skin, conjunctival sac or oropharyngeal mucosa, by direct contact with infected animals or animal materials and by ingestion of contaminated food or water or inhalation of contaminated dust or aerosols.
F. tularensis is easily transmitted by aerosols and inhalation of only a few organisms is likely to cause infection. Person-to-person transmission has not been documented.

Transform sandwich night with this hearty veggie-laden stacker. You can peel the eggplant, but the sandwiches are prettier with the deep-purple skin intact. Rich goat cheese adds another dimension of flavor.
How to Make It
Preheat broiler.
Arrange eggplant slices in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush both sides of eggplant with 1 teaspoon oil. Cut bell pepper in half lengthwise; discard seeds and membrane. Arrange bell pepper halves, skin sides up, on baking sheet with eggplant; flatten with hand. Broil 4 minutes; turn eggplant over (do not turn bell pepper over). Broil an additional 4 minutes; remove eggplant from pan. Broil bell pepper an additional 7 minutes or until blackened. Place bell pepper in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand for 15 minutes; peel and discard skin.
Broil bread slices for 2 minutes or until lightly browned, turning once. Spread 1 tablespoon pesto on each of 2 bread slices. Layer each bread slice, pesto side up, with 2 eggplant slices, 1 bell pepper half, and 2 eggplant slices. Toss arugula with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and black pepper; divide arugula mixture evenly between sandwiches. Spread 2 tablespoons goat cheese over each of 2 remaining bread slices; place, cheese side down, on sandwiches.

This is probably the kid equivalent of blogging, but my seven-year-old always works through her stresses by drawing and writing stories. We have stacks of papers with titles like, "The Time Daddy Lost Me at Home Depot" and "When I Threw Up", complete with very funny pictures. Now we're dealing with nightmares, which she refuses to talk about. I suggested that maybe she can draw a picture and then crumple it up.ReplyDelete
Oh, thank you for making me laugh out loud while enjoying my dessert (Take 5). That is a good idea. Cecelia recently wrote about a nightmare for creative writing. Pics of puking and getting lost among the paint isles is genius. Your daughter is a budding satirist.ReplyDelete
Sometimes, to prompt my kids when they aren't talking, I'll tell about when that happened to me (or another family member) and what it was like; then they are more comfortable sharing. The stuff inside their head that isn't getting out is the scariest for me, but usually it comes around. I find that as they grow older they confide in different people (stepmom, teachers) and am pleased to have those relationships so they can have some things separate from me, but we are all still problem solving together.
- AnonymousMarch 11, 2013 at 8:26 AM
Interesting post and comments!ReplyDelete
I remember reading about getting your kids to breathe during stress, and me trying to get my 3 y.o. son to breathe with me, because it sounded so good, and him choking out between sobs, "I! Don't! Want! To! Breathe!" I laughed and gave up. Distracting them seems to work better right now.
For me, just like Gizabeth and myblog's daughter, I write out my stress. I also like yoga and reading, but I also have to admit to complaining to my husband and surfing the Internet.
Jeanie sounds like an inspiring yoga teacher and person. I would also like the new guy. I totally understand not wanting to, though. People seem to get very attached to yoga teachers. We got a new yoga teacher at our studio, and lots of people resisted, even though I've learned so much from her.
Hey Melissa! I've got your book and can't wait to take it on my Spring Break trip next week. My FIRST EVER Spring Break off (since I had kids anyway). Currently finishing an acclaimed book of poems and short stories I recently discovered an acquaintance from college wrote when I friended him on facebook. Clint Catalyst (nee Green). He now lives in LA and Anthony Kiedis (!!! I was such a RHCP fan) wrote a blurb on the back.ReplyDelete
I forwarded Jeanie my blog and she loved it. Some knit scarves, some give gear, I just have my writing as going away gift.
I didn't try the breathe thing until 5. Maybe give it another try later? Very funny.
Due to Interviewing candidates this week, singing lessons, and going skiing for S.B. I will not get yoga for two weeks! Hopefully I can settle in with new guy in April.
Can't wait to let you know how I liked your book. I love having access via e-mail to (WOW) novel authors.

June 18, 2010 at 8:45 AM Rita Gerlach said… Don't worry, Jessica. It is an evolving career you have. Just wait until you start landing contracts. You'll be putting 'do not disturb' signs on your door. I have one that says 'Quiet Please'. You'll be working late into the wee hours of night when the kids are asleep and the house is quiet. You'll be turning off the ringer on your phone and turning off your cell in order to meet those looming deadlines. It's all wonderful. Really it is!Starbucks? I can't see how anyone can write in Starbucks. Too many distractions. June 18, 2010 at 8:48 AM Jeanette Levellie said… Great video!My day started at 5:30, when I ooched out of bed aided by a cup of Starbuck's my DH had brewed. I spent some time reading the Word and praying, then slapped some paint on the barn, threw lunch in my work bag, and dashed to my paying job. I always blog half an hour before clocking in. I spend the next 8 hours answering questions about ink cartridges and file cabinets, trying to find pen refills for people who forgot to bring the pen with them, and explaining why we can't get wheels for a chair that was made forty years ago. After this excitement, I'll go home and walk with my DH, learn the VBS songs for next week, eat supper, then relax a bit. I usually spend an hour or two writing after supper, but Fridays I take a break and veg. Yet...my work is a tea party compared to cleaning and kids.

I love your comment. I can't wait....:-)Oh man, Jeanette, that is BUSY. Sounds like you have it worked out though. I think it's sweet you and your husband go on walks together.

That must be what it's like to be a writer BEFORE a family comes along. I can totally envision myself being like that if I'd started writing when I was younger. Snirt.Thank God for giving me a family first. Kept me prioritized and grounded in the real world. I do have to admit, though. I usually manage to get in 6-8 hours of writing a day. From 9:30-11:30 in the a.m., then 2-4 in the afternoon. Then the other four hours are usually from 8p.m. until midnight ... or if I'm REALLY on a roll I'll stay up til one or two and take a good nap the next day. All of the hours in between are spent doing daily house chores (laundry, cooking, straightening) and spending time with the family / kiddos. I'm lucky my kids are 14 and 17, so they're pretty self-sufficient during the writing hours.Of course, that schedule applies to days at home when I don't have any family or "kid" stuff going on outside of the house (doctor's appts, activities, sports). I'm very blessed that I have a lot of time for writing. ;-) June 18, 2010 at 10:00 AM patti said… YOu are so fun.

I hope. :) June 18, 2010 at 10:51 AM Cindy R.

Almost a whole day away from the kids? They're at my MIL's house. Woo hoo! June 18, 2010 at 11:54 AM Unknown said… Cute video. It doesn't look much like my writing life, but I wouldn't trade my little two-year-old distraction for anything. Right now, I'm sharing half the computer screen with www.sesamestreet.org, and someone is leaning on me providing commentary on the video he's watching. Talk about multi-tasking!

Wisconsin Republican Governor Scott Walker: "The Supreme Court's ruling provides our state the opportunity to move forward together and focus on getting Wisconsin working again."
- Court allows Wisconsin's union law to take effect: A divided Wisconsin Supreme Court handed Republican Gov. Scott Walker a major victory Tuesday, ruling that a polarizing union law that strips most public employees of their collective bargaining rights could take effect.
In a 4-3 decision that included a blistering dissent, the court ruled that Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi overstepped her authority when she declared the law void. She sided with a lawsuit that claimed Republicans didn't provide proper public notice of a meeting that helped get the original legislation approved.
The legislation sparked weeks of protests when Walker introduced it in February. Tens of thousands of demonstrators descended on the state Capitol for weeks and Democratic senators fled the state to prevent a vote, thrusting Wisconsin to the forefront of a national debate over labor rights.
Walker claimed that the law, which also requires public employees to pay more for their health care and pensions, was needed to help address the state's $3.6 billion budget shortfall and give local governments enough flexibility on labor costs to deal with deep cuts to state aid. Democrats saw it as an attack on public employee unions, which usually back their party's candidates…. – AP, 6-15-11
- Wisconsin Court Reinstates Law on Union Rights: The Wisconsin Supreme Court cleared the way on Tuesday for significant cuts to collective bargaining rights for public workers in the state, undoing a lower court's decision that Wisconsin's controversial law had been passed improperly.
The Supreme Court's ruling, issued at the close of the business day, spared lawmakers in the Republican-dominated Capitol from having to do what some of them strongly hoped to avoid: calling for a new vote on the polarizing collective bargaining measure, which had drawn tens of thousands of protesters to Madison this year and led Democratic lawmakers to flee the city in an effort to block the bill.
Republican leaders had warned on Monday that if the Supreme Court did not rule by Tuesday, they would feel compelled to attach the same measure to the state's budget bill, which is expected to be approved this week…. – NYT, 6-15-11
- Divided Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds anti-union law: A sharply divided Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that a controversial measure that curbs the collective bargaining rights of public workers in the state can go into effect.
In what was essentially a 4-3 decision, the high court overturned a lower court, which had ruled Republican lawmakers violated the state's open meetings law when they passed the measure in March.
"Access was not denied," the Supreme Court declared in Tuesday's decision. "There is no constitutional requirement that the legislature provide access to as many members of the public as wish to attend meetings of the legislature or meetings of legislative committees."
But Tuesday' 68-page decision was a thicket of concurrences and dissents, reflecting the sharp divide the measure has created in the state itself.
David Prosser, whose recent reelection to the state's high court had been hotly contested by opponents of the union measure, wrote in his eight-page concurrence that GOP legislators had good reason to rush things they way they did, given the ugly mood of protesters at the Capitol.
"The circuit court concluded that the legislature should have provided public notice of the special session conference committee 24 hours in advance," Prosser wrote.
"The court did not acknowledge that thousands of demonstrators stormed and occupied the state Capitol within a few hours of the notice that a conference committee meeting would be held."
But Justices Shirley Abrahamson, Ann Walsh Bradley and N. Patrick Coons disagreed, saying their colleagues had rendered a "hasty judgment" in a case where "the answers are not clear and our precedent is conflicting."
The three in dissent blasted the order to overrule the lower court, saying it was "based on errors of fact and law.
"They inappropriately use this court's original jurisdiction, make their own findings of fact, mischaracterize the parties' arguments, misinterpret statutes, minimize (if not eliminate) Wisconsin's constitutional guarantees, and misstate case law, appearing to silently overrule case law dating back to at least 1891," the three said…. – Reuters, 6-15-11
- Court allows Wisconsin's union law to take effect: The ruling on the law, which strips most public employees of collective bargaining rights, is a major victory for Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court handed Republican Gov. Scott Walker a major victory on Tuesday, ruling that a polarizing anti-union law stripping most public employees of collective bargaining rights could take effect.
In a 4-3 decision, the court ruled that Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi overstepped her authority when she said Republican lawmakers had violated the open meetings statutes and declared the law void….
In a one-sentence reaction, the governor said: "The Supreme Court's ruling provides our state the opportunity to move forward together and focus on getting Wisconsin working again."… – LAT, 6-15-11
- Supreme Court reinstates collective bargaining law: Acting with unusual speed, the state Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the reinstatement of Gov. Scott Walker's controversial plan to end most collective bargaining for tens of thousands of public workers.
The court found that a committee of lawmakers was not subject to the state's open meetings law, and so did not violate that law when it hastily approved the collective bargaining measure in March and made it possible for the Senate to take it up. In doing so, the Supreme Court overruled a Dane County judge who had halted the legislation, ending one challenge to the law even as new challenges are likely to emerge.
The changes on collective bargaining will take effect once Secretary of State Doug La Follette arranges for official publication of the stalled bill, and the high court said there was now nothing to preclude him from doing that. La Follette did not return a call Tuesday to say when the law would be published.
The ruling came on lines that have become familiar in recent years for the often divided court.
The majority opinion was by Justices Michael Gableman, David Prosser, Patience Roggensack and Annette Ziegler. The other three justices – Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson and Justices Ann Walsh Bradley and N. Patrick Crooks – concurred in part and dissented in part. Abrahamson's dissent was particularly stinging as she upbraided her fellow justices for errors and faulty analysis…. – Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel, 6-15-11

A Halloween Treat: Villafane Studio's Phenomenal Pumpkins
Ray Villafane is visionary and patriarch of Phoenix, Arizona's Villafane Studios, one of whose specialties is carving incredibly impressive pumpkins. They also create jaw-dropping sand sculptures, props and toys.
From carving for the President at the White House, carving for Heidi Klum's Annual Halloween Party and along side Martha Stewart, Ray's pumpkins have made their way across the world. Ray partnered with the awe inspiring Andy Bergholtz, and together they built a "Dream Team" of amazing sculptors and have been carving away ever since. Other talented team members include Trevor Grove, Chris Vierra, Alfred Parades, Patrick Burke and Sue Beatrice. The beautiful pumpkins I'm sharing with you in this post have been carved by all of the aforementioned sculptors.
The exposure of Ray's style, talent and creativity amassed an all-new appreciation for pumpkin carving, and his artistic take on the traditional jack-o-lantern has granted him invitations from across the globe for VIP Galleries (Very Impressive Pumpkins). From the President's quarters in the White House to Bermuda's Sousa's Gardens, Ray's pumpkins have gathered a cult-like following.

The Mirror House, Transformed Into A "Fun"ctional Pavilion In Copenhagen by MLRP
MLRP of Denmark transformed a somewhat sad existing structure into an inviting reflective pavilion to engage interaction and play. The structure, which is in a public playground in Copenhagen, is now used by kindergarten classes and includes restrooms.
Funhouse mirrors are mounted on the gabled ends of this playground pavilion as well as behind the doors. This engages a play with perspective, reflection and transformation.
Instead of a typical closed gable facade, the mirrored gables creates a sympathetic transition between built and landscape and reflects the surrounding park, playground and activity. Windows and doors are integrated in the wood-clad facade behind facade shutters with varied bent mirror panel effects. At night the shutters are closed making the building anonymous. During the day the building opens up, attracting the children who enjoy seeing themselves transformed in all directions.
With simple means it has succeeded to transform an existing, sad and anonymous building to a unique and respectful installation in the newly renovated park. The roof and facade is clad with heat-modified sustainable wood and the gables and shutters are clad with mirror polished stainless steel. The Mirror House is a flexible space and restrooms, used by kindergarden classes.

Zombies, Motorcycles and Poker: Zombie Riders Playing Cards By Gavin Rooney.
Perfect for this time of year, with Halloween around the corner and all, are Gavin Rooney's Illustrated Zombie Riders Playing Cards.
The Zombie Riders Playing Cards are a project by Home Run Game's artist Gavin Rooney. Gavin, whose day job is working in an automobile graveyard, was approached by Cobey Pile and Michael Scott with several ideas for a deck of playing cards. The idea of a Zombie Biker gang was just too enticing and won out. Clearly the public agrees having funded these cards successfully through Kickstarter in May of this year.
above: illustrator Gavin Rooney holds up his illustration for the Ace of Hearts card
Inspired by historical biker clubs and incorporating two of his favorite things: zombies and motorcycles, Gavin's illustrated playing cards will be available as a black or white deck with ornately decorated face cards from original his hand-inked illustrations.
Tuck box design:
Not yet available through their online store, the deck will be printed by the United States Playing Card Company as a deck of Bicycle© branded playing cards. They will have a magic finish. Art work will continue throughout the campaign and will be presented through updates for those following the project on kickstarter. Add-ons include pocker chips and various tuck cases.

The 36th season of "Saturday Night Live" kicked off last night with a familiar face, lots of cameos and a New York governor.
"SNL" alum Amy Poehler, now star of the NBC comedy "Parks and Recreation," returned back to her old digs as the guest host. Her opening monologue was mainly a dream sequence drawing on Poehler's fear of arriving late to the show. She meets a variety of people in the dream, including former "SNL" cast mates Tina Fey, Jimmy Fallon and Rachel Dratch, and has an awkward kissing scene with the real-life Justin Timberlake.
Poehler also reprised some familiar roles she played on the show including Amber, the one-legged flatulent woman with an attitude, and as the Weekend Update co-anchor with Seth Meyers. She also played a character in one skit who wears tiny hats.
U.S. & World
Musical guest Katy Perry appeared in a skit as a young, bespeactacled library volunteer who was invited on a talk show called "Bronx Beat," hosted by Betty and Jodi (played respectively by Poehler and former "SNL" actress Maya Rudolph). Perry's character wore a revealing Elmo-looking shirt, perhaps a reference to the real-life controversy of Perry and "Sesame Street."
As herself, Perry performed two songs off her recent new album "Teenage Dream." Dressed in her Lolita outfit, Perry was surrounded by a backdrop of cotton candy and lollipops during "California Gurls"; later, she sang "Teenage Dream" with musicians and backing singers wearing football jerseys and cheerleader outfits.
The real highlight of the show occurred during the Weekend Update segment when Gov. David Paterson, played by Fred Armisen, appeared on to talk about the New York governor's race . Staying in character like in his previous "SNL" appearances, Armisen's Paterson is portrayed as a bumbling guest who likes to slam New Jersey.
But then the real David Paterson appeared, said "Stop! Stop! Stop!" and made fun of the fake governor's look: "I shaved that [beard] off a year ago. Are you blind?" Paterson went on to poke fun at the show that he previously criticized for its insensitivity towards the disabled. He also compared "SNL" to working in Albany: "There's a lot of characters, it's funny for 10 minutes, and then you want it to be over." Then he said, "I'm blind, I'm governor, and I'm still alive."
Other noteworthy moments on the program included a skit on Delaware Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell (played by Kristen Wiig), who revealed to campaign consultants that she actually masturbates (the real O'Donnell had reportedly spoken out against masturbation) and has staged dog-fighting; a Republican National Committee TV commercial that alleges the proposed controversial mosque near Ground Zero is now offering to hold gay weddings; and an Actor II Actor interview between Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake that ends badly.
The show also marked the debut of four new featured players for the season: Paul Brittain, Taran Killam, Vanessa Bayer and Jay Pharaoh, who did a dead-on impression of Will Smith during Weekend Update.
Next week's installment of "Saturday Night Live" (Oct. 2) will be hosted by "Breaking Bad" actor Bryan Cranston with musical guest Kanye West.

Winter Caps and Hats
Custom Beanies: Effective Advertising for Any Brand
Functional and attractive, custom winter caps & hats provide easy means for any company to promote their brand. After all, recipients of all ages wear winter hats and thus these items can generate exposure for any organization – in any industry! Whether you're looking for a beanie, a knit cap, or anything in between, you can find all the custom winter caps & hats you need when you shop our wide selection.
Embroidered Beanies Make Great Winter Gifts
Custom winter caps & hats are a great way to keep recipients warm during the cold winter months. While bundling up with layers and a down jacket certainly help people retain heat, custom beanies and other winter caps are some of the most effective winter gear. After all, more than 30 percent of a person's body heat escapes through the head. Custom winter caps & hats can trap the heat and prevent it from escaping, thereby keeping the wearer much warmer than if they didn't have something on their head. As a result of their high functionality and practicality, custom winter caps & hats are items that recipients will likely keep on hand at all times during the winter months. Every time a client or employee wears a hat that is imprinted with your company logo, they are exposing your brand to more potential customers. Furthermore, passersby will see these hats as a personal endorsement for your company and may even be more likely to do business with your company as a result.
Custom Winter Caps & Hats in a Variety of Styles and Colors
Another reason that custom winter caps & hats make great corporate gifts and giveaways is that they provide enough room to boldly display your company or organization's logo and are available in a number of colors and styles to suit your marketing needs. Whether you prefer plain custom winter caps & hats, stylish knit caps, custom hats with earflaps, or decorative striped designs you are sure to impress all recipients. And, with winter caps & hats available in form fitting promotional youth caps your company or organization is able to appeal to recipients of all ages, too.
Custom Winter Caps & Hats Are Great Gifts in Warmer Climates, Too
Don't live in a cool climate but still like the thought of using custom winter caps & hats to promote your brand? No problem. Winter gear makes great holiday gifts for those people who live in warmer climates but go skiing or to visit family in colder climates for the holidays. In some ways, winter hats are even more effective gifts for those who live in warmer climates. After all, your brand won't have to compete with other hats (custom or retail) for attention. Plus, our custom winter caps & hats are small and compact, which means that they are easy to pack and bring along on any vacation. And, when recipients wear a custom cap imprinted with your logo while on vacation, they are essentially promoting your brand to a new market. Just think of all the impressions that distributing custom winter caps & hats can garner!

Commerce City, Colo. - When Omar Cummings started for the Jamaican National Team's 2-0 win over El Salvador on August 15, it was his first appearance for his country since February. His next appearance could come within a month of his last after the forward was called up for Jamaica's two upcoming World Cup qualifying matches against the United States.
"It's always a pleasure to go back to the National Team," Cummings told ColoradoRapids.com. "It being a Qualifier, even better. It being against the U.S., I think it's a very important game. It's an honor to represent my country."
Jamaica will host the U.S. on Friday, Sept 7 at the National Stadium in Kingston before the teams meet again on Tuesday, Sept. 11 at Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
The U.S. holds an undefeated 10-0-8 record in the series, however they have never defeated the Reggae Boyz in Jamaica during World Cup qualifying, tying all four games.
Last month, the U.S. ended a 75-year, 24-match winless streak in Mexico with a 1-0 victory at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Cummings is hoping he and his National Team can make their own history against this U.S. side.
"I think each generation is different," he said. "Obviously having watched Jamaica not beating the U.S. over the years, you feel almost a sense of responsibility as a player when given the opportunity to try and break that streak, to say 'we're the group that did that.' I think it's a challenge and a very important one, and I think every player on the national team is looking forward to it."
For Cummings, who has appeared in 29 games for his countyr, including four matches during the 2010 World Cup Qualifying cycle, the opportunity to face players he sees regularly in Major League Soccer is also one he relishes.
"I'm always looking forward to play against the U.S. Playing in this League, which has so many players that have represented the U.S. national team, it's bragging rights within the locker room and among friends," he quipped.
Cummings will miss the Rapids match against Portland on September 5 and rejoin his Colorado teammates ahead of the Sept. 16 game against the Galaxy in LA.
