So, doc, what do YOU do to control weight? Obesity experts share their food, exercise habits
Dr. Arya Sharma has a chocolate protein shake for breakfast every day, splashing out to scrambled or boiled eggs, cheese, bacon or sausage on weekends (hold the toast). For lunch, he generally looks for a protein load — lentil soup, chili or beef tacos.
Since he's one of Canada's leading obesity doctors, people ask Sharma for diet advice all the time.
With countless Canadians about to embark on a new year's resolve to lose weight, Postmedia News asked four opinion leaders in obesity for their personal approach to healthy eating and living throughout the year.
Dr. Arya Sharma, professor of medicine and chair of obesity research and management at the University of Alberta:
Breakfast: Chocolate protein shake weekdays. Eggs on weekend. Usually doesn't load up on bread ("I don't waste too much caloric space on the carbs.") "I never used to be a breakfast person and then I started working in obesity and telling everyone to have breakfast, and I wouldn't eat breakfast." The protein in the shake "pretty much keeps me going until lunch."
Lunch: High-protein soups, chili. Three to four pieces of fruit a day.
Dinner: Usually home-cooked, often cold cuts and antipasti, European style. A glass of wine or two, sometimes a beer. Avoids dessert ("not more than a couple of bites if I do.") Loves hot peppers — habaneros, ghost pepper, thai red chili peppers. No meal without peppers or hot sauce.
Physical activity: He's tried running and gyms. "Doesn't work for me. I simply don't enjoy it — no runner's high." Instead, he walks everywhere. "Usual walking speed is twice as fast as anyone else." Walks or bikes to work, or uses public transport. Rarely drives. Generally uses stairs, or walks up escalators.
Philosophy: "I'm sort of a higher-energy kind of guy, a fidgeter. I find it hard to sit still in meetings. I often get up and stand at the back of the room. I try to keep my weight constant. I try to come in under 2,000 calories most days. I rarely drink pop. I get on a scale at least once a week. If I'm up a pound or two, I'll just cut back for a few days. Nothing drastic. No skipping meals or starving myself … But I watch the carbs."
Tips: At buffets, he uses the plates from the dessert section instead of the larger dinner plates. In restaurants, he will often order two appetizers instead of one high-fat, high-calorie meal.
Dr. David Lau, professor of medicine, biochemistry and molecular biology and chair of diabetes and endocrine research group at the University of Calgary:
Breakfast: Microwave one-third cup of oatmeal mixed with oat bran for two minutes, add two heaping tablespoons of ground flax seeds, a tablespoon of chia seeds, a few craisins and skim milk. A handful of almonds and mixed nuts with a piece of fruit for morning snack.
Lunch: Homemade soup with a sandwich with cheese. Three to four pieces of fruit a day, usually one after each meal.
Dinner: Small amount of meat, with lots of veggies, rice or pasta.
Physical activity: Weight exercise in the morning while waiting for cereal to heat up (works biceps and shoulders using two 15-pound weights). Runs two or three times per week, eight to 10 kilometeres per run, plus three hours a week in the gym of weight training and core exercises.
Philosophy: " I weigh 74 kilos with a BMI of 23 … I love food. I tell my patients that one big reason for me to exercise regularly is that I can enjoy eating. Exercise also helps manage my stress. The key is not to overindulge after exercise — a protein shake with orange juice or milk is a great way to curb appetite and replenish nutrient needs."
Tips: Mindful eating and keep the body and mind active.
Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, medical director of the Bariatric Medicine Institute and assistant professor at the University of Ottawa:
Breakfast: Homemade protein shake: half-cup of pasteurized egg whites; half-cup lowest calorie, fruit-based yogurt he can find; half-cup skim milk; quarter-cup whole oats; one cup greens (he prefers Swiss chard); half-cup frozen berries; one medium banana. Total calorie count: 476. Almonds for morning snack.
Lunch: Usually leftovers from dinner the night before (somewhere between 400 and 600 calories) with fruit. Almonds again for afternoon snack.
Dinner: "My wife's a great cook. She makes virtually everything from scratch and I'm a very lucky man to usually have a meal ready for me when I get home." Fish two or three times a week. Has some alcohol most nights — a beer or a couple ounces of scotch. Sometimes small serving (25 grams) of potato chips. Also likes Sour Patch Kids ("each Kid has nine calories and I'll often have 10 or 15 Kids if I'm going to have a treat.")
Physical activity: Weight lifting twice a week for 45 minutes at a time; half-hour of interval training on the bike; running. Protein-based snack (150 to 200 calories) post exercise. Do what you can. Even short bursts of exercise have a cumulative beneficial effect on health.
Philosophy: "I walk my talk. Every single thing I tell my clients and patients to do, I do myself. I keep a food diary. I weigh and measure my food. I eat frequent small meals throughout the day." Average daily calorie intake: 2,400 to 2,600. BMI: 23.4.
Tips: Include protein with every meal and snack (it helps with satiety). Avoid highly processed carbohydrates. Check the calorie count of favourite fast foods to make sure you're not having far more than you thought. Use an online "energy expenditure calculator" to gain a sense of how many calories you might burn a day.
Dr. Valerie Taylor, psychiatrist-in-chief of Women's College Hospital in Toronto and obesity chair in mental health for the Canadian Obesity Network:
Breakfast: Cereal, or boiled egg a couple of times a week. "Breakfast is key. If you don't eat breakfast it's going to throw everything off. It's the most important meal for weight control."
Lunch: Takes lunch from home at least three days a week — leftovers from dinner the night before, salad and fruit or a sandwich.
Dinner: Always tries to eat before 7 p.m. "Calories consumed after 7 p.m. weigh more. Your metabolism has slowed down, your body is starting to prepare to go to sleep. Calories count for more."
Physical activity: Simple is best. "I like to run. You can do it whenever you have time. Running allows me to be a little more flexible, and you get the most bang for your buck."
Philosophy: "If I'm trying to prescribe a behavioral change, I never ask anybody to do something that I haven't done myself, like keeping a food dairy. I've done it myself. I understand — all of those things are hard work so I know where they're coming from. If things go badly with respect to diet, I kind of sit back and say, 'okay, what's happened?' And usually the key is time. You didn't have time to have breakfast, so you grabbed a muffin in the subway station … For me now, after having a baby (she has a 10-month-old son) time becomes even more important in making sure I'm organized."
Tips: People get into trouble around the holidays. They tend to starve themselves during the day if they know they have a party that night. "Then, someone gives you one drink and you're totally disinhibited with respect to food control." Throw some cut up vegetables into a plastic bag and eat them on the way to the party. When preparing dinner, serve the dinner portions then immediately put the leftovers in the fridge. You'll avoid eating more when cleaning up.

Christ Is Risen!

I will author a comprehensive document later since there is interest but suffice it to say...Robert and I desired to make a website to promote Eastern Christianity and continue our knowledge of the Orthodox Church (we were Byzantine Catholics back then, and wanted to promote Church unity between Eastern Christians). In 2001 we bought the domain byzantines.org (inspiration was from byzantines.net and byzcath.org) and started there. Nothing really came about until Robert and I were sitting in a car discussing making a webforum. Robert and I knew Philip (Mor Ephrem) from byzcath.org and so Philip was interested in the project as well. We went live on May 12, 2002.Byzantines.org survived until September 2002 when Robert went to Italy. While he was gone, Philip and I recruited Nik Stanosheck (now Fr Dcn Nikolai) to be the third administrator and we decided to make it a truly Orthodox-oriented website instead of "pan Byzantine Rite" since those professing such views could easily go to byzcath.org to post, renaming the site orthodoxchristianity.net on October 2, 2002. Nik was on the path to officially becoming Orthodox, and I was now at St Vladimir's Seminary studying about Orthodoxy to make my decision (yeah, I go all the way when I am interested in something).Robert returned from Italy after some changes in plans and resumed duties as an Administrator. Soon Nik decided to make a website that was more oriented towards traditionalist views, so he resigned to focus on his site euphrosynoscafe.com.By 2003, we started to add on a moderation team since we could not handle it by ourselves, and over the next few years the current structure came into being. In 2006, Philip resigned and we added Fr. Chris as an administrator. Over the years, both Robert and I became Orthodox officially.Now we are just trying to develop content and the forum to be the best it can be.

AT&T to Pay Quarter Million Dollars to Settle EEOC Age Discrimination Suit
Telecom Giant Fired 16-Year Employee Due to Age, Federal Agency Charged
KANSAS CITY - Telecommunications giant AT&T will pay $250,000 and furnish other relief to settle an age discrimination suit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
According to the EEOC's suit, in the fall of 2008, AT&T fired Terry Pierce from its Lee's Summit, Mo., facility because of her age. Pierce, who had been employed by the company for 16 years as sales coach manager, was 53 years old when AT&T discharged her, while at the same time retaining younger, lower-performing sales coach managers or allowing them to transfer.
Such alleged conduct violates the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri (EEOC v. AT&T, Case No. 4:11-cv-990-DW) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.
In addition to the monetary relief, the company agreed to redistribute its anti-discrimination policy with a message from its EEO director reaffirming the company's commitment to the policy; provide anti-discrimination training; and report to the EEOC on complaints of age discrimination and terminations of persons over 40.
"Age discrimination is a serious problem, especially in times of economic downturn," said Barbara A. Seely, Regional Attorney of the EEOC's St. Louis District Office. "Not only do victims of age bias lose their jobs unjustly, they often are unable to find new jobs for the same reason. The EEOC will defend people's rights to be treated fairly by employers."
AT&T, Inc. is an American multinational telecommunications corporation headquartered in Dallas. As of May 2013, AT&T was the 21st largest company in the world by market value. The current AT&T reconstitutes much of the former Bell...

This theoretical dissertation considered the biological and psychologicalimportance of the dance between mother and infant from conception through the bonding period. It proposed a unifying dance metaphor of pre- and perinatal motherinfant alchemical dance to provide a psychological term describing their first organizing co-creative dynamics. The process of alchemical dance is postulated to be Nature?s blueprint for the initial creational unfolding of human development. The function of this dance patterning was to create new life, organize infant embodiment, enhance mother-infant unity, and infuse a sense of belonging in relationship. There are different characteristics between prenatal and perinatal dance. The theoretical construct was based on multidisciplinary scientific theories, joined with ancient philosophies, gathered from quantum physics, psychoanalytic theory, developmental psychological theory, prenatal and perinatal psychology and infant programming, biology and affective neuroscience, and from knowledge of the divine feminine, ancient dance, and alchemy. The use of metaphor was the primary methodology. The dissertation advanced a theoretical framework for prenatal and perinatal psychology. Implications placed new value on creating educational programs for conscious parenting during the pre and perinatal period, based on the principles of alchemical dance.

DOJ Issues Scathing Review Of Albuquerque Police Department' Use Of Force, Tempers It By Prioritizing Officer Safety
from the if-you-don't-like-the-risks,-don't-take-the-job dept
The Albuquerque, New Mexico police department has been a mess for quite some time now. Recently, it has gained national attention for two seemingly unjustified shootings of New Mexico residents. This is in addition to the 37 people the police force has shot since 2010, with 23 confirmed kills. As Ed Krayewski at Reason points out, the APD has shot more people than the NYPD, despite policing a city sixteen times smaller.
The Department of Justice was already investigating the department before the two latest shootings. The first involved a homeless person "illegally" camping, an infraction apparently punishable by death in New Mexico. The officers claimed the man came at them with knives, but video clearly shows him surrendering and attempting to walk down to them before being hit with a concussion grenade, followed shortly by several bullets. As for the danger poised by the knives he was carrying, the 20-30 feet between him and the officers at the beginning of the video (not to mention the difference in altitude) makes this much less of a threat than the reports indicated.
While the city of Albuquerque was still digesting the news of this apparently unjustified shooting, the APD shot another person. The police claimed he fired at them (and they did recover a gun at the scene) but video shot by an onlooker appears to show the man holding something (gun or cellphone) to his own head before shots ring out and he drops to the ground.
These shootings sparked a series of increasingly confrontational protests against the police, as well as drawing the attention of Anonymous, which took down the APD website.
The release of the DOJ's report is certainly well-timed, if nothing else. Those who have seen the entire thing call it "scathing." The prepared remarks from the DOJ's Jocelyn Samuels are certainly damning enough.
Officers use deadly force in an unconstitutional manner. Our investigation looked at officer-involved shootings that resulted in fatalities from 2009 to 2012 and found that a majority of them were unreasonable and violated the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. We found that officers used deadly force against people who did not pose an immediate threat of death or serious harm to officers or others, and against people who posed a threat only to themselves. In fact, sometimes it was the conduct of the officers themselves that heightened the danger and escalated the need to use force.The remarks run on for much longer, noting the steps that will be taken to put the APD back in compliance with the Constitution and temper its officers' tendency to apply as much force as possible in a majority of situations. However, Samuels also takes the time to pat the heads of a police force so out of control the government was forced to step in.
We found that officers use other types of less lethal force, especially electronic control weapons, or Tasers, in an unconstitutional manner. Our investigation looked beyond just the use of deadly force and found a significant number of improper uses of force in our review of over 200 force reports generated between 2009 and early 2013. We found that officers routinely fired their Tasers, which discharge 50,000 volts of electricity, against people who were passively resisting and non-threatening or who were unable to comply with orders due to their mental state. Indeed, we found that encounters between police officers and persons with mental illness or in crisis too frequently resulted in a use of force or a higher level of force than necessary.
To the women and men of the Albuquerque Police Department, we know your work is difficult and that you face dangers, known and unknown, when you hit the streets every day to keep this city safe. We recognize that many of you are dedicated public servants who wear your badge with distinction. We do not intend our findings today to mean that you must needlessly risk your lives or safety. You must come home safely to your family and loved ones.This is what Scott Greenfield refers to as the "First Rule of Policing:" make it home safe. Even the DOJ follows it, apparently. But this should be a goal, not a priority. The "dedicated officers" know they're putting themselves in a dangerous position by taking the job. This doesn't give them permission to do whatever it takes to save their own lives.
Firemen don't just walk away from a fire if it looks life-threatening. Soldiers aren't told they can indiscriminately open fire if things feel a bit sketchy. Airline pilots aren't encouraged to jettison planes full of people (or over populated areas) in order to assure they "come home safely." Any other person taking a job that's potentially life-threatening assumes the risks. Cops somehow don't. And they use this "rule" as a justification for swift, thoughtless reactions that result in teens carrying Wii controllers getting shot and homeless schizophrenics being beaten to death.
By adding this disclaimer, Samuels partially absolves the APD of all of its wrongdoing. "You did what you had to do to survive." That attitude isn't going to fix anything and as long as police officers are encouraged to view their own safety as paramount, excessive force will continue to be applied.

Calendar Girls
This story appears in the December 1998 issue of . Subscribe »
When Julia Linden Frazier was working as a New York City graphic designer in 1986, she was surrounded by pregnant women. All her friends and co-workers were having children--and that got her to thinking about having a baby of her own.
But this "baby" would be different: not a child at all, but an educational tool for pregnant women. After hearing her friends talk about the size of the fetus in this week of pregnancy and its stage of development in that week, Frazier was struck with her great idea: Why not feature gestation information in a special calendar for pregnant women, so they could track their babies' development and know what to expect along the way?
"The women I knew were always asking each other things like when they should expect morning sickness and if they could eat such-and-such," says Frazier, now 39. "By putting the answers into the form of a calendar, they'd have all the answers when they needed them."
The concept had potential, but Frazier wanted to raise this baby with more than one parent. So she called on her freshman-year roommate at the University of Colorado in Denver, Marion Finholm Jones, who was in nursing school. Frazier envisioned herself designing the calendar and Jones writing it, providing medical information with the text.
"At the time, all the [reference materials] for pregnant women read like textbooks," says Jones, 39. "What I liked about Julia's idea was that it put the things a woman needed to know at different times right in front of her--no flipping through big books. You could look at the calendar and say `Okay, I'm at 24 weeks. Here's how big the baby is; here's what feelings are normal.' "
Sensing their success was about to hatch, the pair then recruited Jones' sister, Beth Finholm Rumbach. She worked for a property management firm at the time, and brought sales and financial expertise to the budding business. She and her sister also had already had their first babies, giving them firsthand pregnancy experience.
Together, the trio of moms (12 years later, they have a total of
eight children) dubbed their company Linholm Corp. They launched
the Denver company in 1987 with $11,000--the sum of Frazier's
inheritance, Jones' savings and a loan from Jones'
in-laws--and a goodwill deal: The Colorado hospital where Jones
worked ordered 1,000 calendars and agreed to pay
50 percent upfront to cover printing.
Since that time, the pregnancy calendar has sold more than 1.26 million copies; spawned (in 1990) a "baby's first year" calendar that has sold 498,000 copies to date; and most important of all, been a resource for new mothers nationwide. Since start-up, Linholm Corp. has earned $6.4 million--not bad for a business that remains a part-time endeavor. (Frazier is still a graphic artist, Jones is a nurse and Rumbach works for American Airlines.)
Baby Steps
"There's a dual purpose that makes moms love using the calendar: It's a place where the expectant mom can keep up with how her baby is developing, but it also becomes a precious keepsake of the pregnancy," says Emily Gentry, a nurse who runs the Family Resource Center at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. Since 1988, Baylor has licensed its own version of the calendar, using the trio's text and basic concept but adding its own artwork.
The partners retain all rights to the concept and are responsible for updating the artwork and text--for example, incorporating new information on pregnant women's need for folic acid--and, thanks to licensing, they've established a two-pronged business. One version of the calendar is designed for sale in retail stores; all contracts and distribution on that side are handled by licensee Russ Berrie & Co. Inc., a nationally known gift company in Oakland, New Jersey. On the other side are assorted versions of the calendar designed as free handouts and distributed in obstetricians' offices. These contracts are handled by Nashville calendar printer Falco Manufacturing. But the partners' successful strategy didn't start out that way.
Initially, the women sold the calendars to hospitals and retailers themselves. Only after a feature article caught the attention of Russ Berrie in 1989 did they think of licensing their product. They also learned that retail stores and hospitals had slightly different needs: "Hospitals want something that looks more clinical than the cutesy artwork we use for retail stores," Frazier explains.
Thus educated, the partners had inadvertently been prepped for Russ Berrie's approach. "Russ Berrie always bought all rights [to a product] and expected to do that with us," Jones says. But Linholm's founders knew that by selling all rights, they'd be withdrawing their product from a sizeable market. So they negotiated to keep hospital and premium rights, and were able to mine their concept twice.
Now the hospital side of the business appears to be eclipsing the retail side in sales, Jones says. The lesson: "Don't sell the farm just because [the offer] sounds good at first," Jones advises. "Do the research and find out what you may be giving up."
What Linholm stood to lose wasn't just an income stream, but an entirely different way of getting important information to pregnant women. That focus on end-users' needs is what makes the product so successful, says Lauren Law, director of creative services for Baylor Healthcare System. "The Linholm calendar really meets the needs of pregnant women," Law says. "Women can tell--and so can the physicians giving it to them--that the information comes from people who feel it's worth sharing."
Buddy System
For the three partners--who still have no employees--it's not just about distributing information, but also about sharing the ups and downs of business. "Staying motivated can be a problem for any business," says Rumbach, 41. "The partnership gets us through those times."
"This has always been part-time for all of us, but we've managed to juggle it with everything else," says Jones, who speculates the business might not have survived if one person had tried to do it all. "Lots of times, one of us would get too busy with other things, like work or kids, and eventually the other two would say `Hey, remember this company we own?' We keep each other involved because we all like it so much."
Not to mention their obvious affection for one another: "The first decision I made was the best one--choosing my partners," Frazier says. "We fit so well together."
That's despite the fact that they mostly keep in contact by phone and fax. "It was definitely more fun working face-to-face, and we got a lot more done," says Frazier, who left Denver last year to move to Connecticut. "But we're all willing to make the extra effort it takes to work together, even though we live so far apart."
The Postpartum Years
These days, the pregnancy years are mostly behind the three entrepreneurs. Rumbach gave birth again this year, but overall, "the pregnancy calendar gals have moved on to later stages of life," says Jones. And they're looking to those stages for material.
Frazier says she's considering the possibility of a women's health-related product, although it might not be a week-by-week calendar. "It would probably be more of a monthly planner, with thoughts on how your body and outlook might be changing," she says. Alternately, a long-postponed calendar for the toddler years might finally make its appearance.
But the partners also have a different expansion route in mind. To date, distribution of their products has largely been limited to the United States. But since they've translated the calendar into Spanish for markets in the Southwest, the Linholm team now wonders how that product might give birth to a whole new market--in Mexico. After all, Frazier notes, "Pregnancy doesn't change much from one country to another."
Expect The Unexpected
Linholm Corp.'s founders have discovered some parallels between giving birth and starting a company--and it's not just that both make you sweat and groan. Whether you're birthing a baby or a business, these four key insights can ease the pain:
1. "It's a 24-hour deal," says Rumbach. "Just like that baby who won't go to sleep in the middle of the night, a new business never sleeps. There are faxes coming in late at night, things that have to get done. But like that baby, it can be trained. You just tell yourself you won't go into your office on a Saturday or you won't look at that 2 a.m. fax until the next day."
2. "When you're pregnant, you're dying to know what's normal. `Is it normal to feel sick now? How much weight gain is normal?' " Jones observes. During a pregnancy--especially the first one--most women need a lot of reassurance that it will all work out in the end. "Starting a new business feels the same way," Jones says. The solution? "Do your research." (Unfortunately, there's not yet a week-by-week calendar for business start-ups.)
3. "You don't get the rewards right away," Rumbach says. A baby might not smile until he or she is six months old; a new business might not offer many rewards for three times that long. But that's no reason to give up on either one.
4. Strong partnerships carry the day, says Frazier. Whether it's a marriage or a business partnership, "it helps if you trust each other, if you can put things in front of each other and know you can talk about them."
Dennis Rodkin (email@example.com), the father of a 4-year-old, is the first to admit that while pregnancy may keep to a regular schedule, a growing child does not.

vegan banana peach "ice-cream"
The past few months I've been cutting back on my processed sugar intake. So less baked goods, more fruit! I allow myself to have 1-2 servings of fruit a day. Lately, I've been "saving" my fruit servings to use as dessert after dinner.
For years I've heard about people making one ingredient ice-cream in their vitamix or blendtec blenders by simply pulverizing frozen bananas. To be honest, I kinda laughed at the idea. For one, I've never been a HUGE banana fan. Secondly... it just sort of sounded impossible.
But then I tried it. (Here's a quick little video to show you how.)
And it was another "foot in mouth" moment. It's seriously delicious... and strangely enough -- because it's so cold, it tastes more like ice-cream than bananas! Now generally I have to add about 1/4 cup of almond milk in with my frozen fruit to get my machine to process the "ice-cream" smooth enough -- I think it's because my vitamix is an older refurbished model (I still love him). But that's all I do!
I usually mix one frozen banana with a handful for frozen strawberries or peaches. Sometimes blueberries. Sometimes a generous sprinkle of cinnamon. Sometimes a tablespoon of vanilla. I never have to add sugar. It's completely sweet enough just as it is.
On last night's serving I drizzled a little honey on top. Honestly, it was just for the picture. It absolutely didn't need the additional sweetness.
Have you made "one-ingredient" banana ice cream? What are your favorite combinations? Let's chat! Right here on the blog. If you look over to the left you'll see a blue box just for you. Talk with me. I want to hear about how you would make your banana ice cream.

Every time I see a recipe like this, I remind myself I really need to get a vitamix. Sounds great. Only thing better would be topping it with almond butter and chocolate.ReplyDelete
that looks yummy! i bet the banana would be good with pumpkin too (i'm obsessed with pumpkin now that it's fall!).ReplyDelete
I'm going to have to try this. Ice cream is the one thing we haven't tried in our Blendtec yet! Everything else has been fantastic! That mixer was so worth the money - and for anyone considering a Vitamix or Blendtec, watch Costco for their visits - they're cheaper and the lifetime guarantee of Costco purchases applies. Just FYI. Right now though, I'm off to make a couple of batches of your pb cupcakes for ds to take to his class for his eighth birthday! They are his absolute favorite; I can't keep them in the house!ReplyDelete
We use our Cuisinart food processor for our banana only "ice-cream". I love watching it transform into ice-cream! I make myself walk away while it is processing so that I don't stop it too soon. Too soon means I'm short of the magic moment, and just get a lovely frozen banana cream.ReplyDelete
We have done honey, sprinkled in cocoa powder or added a nut butter. But, the favourite at our house is JUST banana.
this looks wonderful!ReplyDelete
My favorite combo is cocoa powder, almond butter, a few DF chocolate chips, and some cherries (ate a ton of this during the summer!). So good!ReplyDelete

I use my food processor to make my banana ice cream as well, my favorite ingredient to mix in? Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, I'm not vegan but this stuff is better than Nutella!ReplyDelete

Ever since we put some plaudit-dispensing duties in the hands of our readers three years ago, Apple has enjoyed a stranglehold on the Readers' Choice Awards. In 2004 and 2005, Macworld readers from our Web site and our Reader Panel have decided that Steve Jobs and Company have made the best hardware and software of the year. But in 2006, Apple's reader awards streak has come to an end—and it's a product that helps you run Windows on a Mac that's responsible.
By an overwhelming margin, our readers declared that Parallels Desktop for Mac from Parallels was the best software of the past 12 months. The virtualization software lets users install and run operating systems other than Mac OS X on an Intel-based Mac without ever rebooting their computers. In a year that saw such cross-platform capabilities enter the consciousness of more Mac users, Parallels took center stage, even steering the spotlight away from Apple's own Boot Camp solution. Readers seemed to recognize the significance of a program that makes the Mac a more compelling option for users in multi-platform settings—including people who might not even have considered the Mac just a few years ago.
The ability to quickly and easily install Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac for cross-platform computing easily out-paced the seven other finalists, including Boot Camp, which finished a distant second. Also receiving a chunk of votes were the 3-D mapping application Google Earth and Apple's revamped iTunes 7 music and video player/organizer. Other software finalists included the digital photography workflow application Aperture, the Firefox Web browser, the organizational tool Yojimbo, and >Flip4Mac, which gets Windows Media files to play in QuickTime.
Apple may be have lost out on our Readers' Choice Award for software, but the company isn't going home empty-handed, maintaining its iron grip on the Readers' Choice for hardware of the year. In a tight three-way race, the 24-inch iMac Core 2 Duo edged out Apple's two laptop offerings, the MacBook and MacBook Pro, by the slimmest of margins.
Given how popular Apple's laptops have proven to be, how did the iMac wind up on top of our reader survey? If we had to guess (besides the possibility that the MacBook and MacBook Pro split the laptop-loving vote), we'd say it was all that performance packed into the 24-inch iMac's 2.33GHz processor. The first round of Intel-based iMacs were impressive, but swapping out their original Core Duo chip for a next-generation Core 2 Duo model sped things up considerably—so much so that our benchmarks found that the 24-inch iMac outperformed a quad-core 2GHz Mac Pro in many tests.
Speaking of the Mac Pro —the standard 2.66GHz quad-core configuration, that is—it finished a strong fourth in our reader poll. Other hardware finalists included the Nike + iPod Sport Kit, an iPod nano-compatible exercise accessory, and ATI's Radeon 1900XT graphics card.
The Readers' Choice Awards are given out in conjunction with Macworld 's annual Editors' Choice Awards. We solicit nominations for hardware and software in our forums, and then provide a list for finalists for readers to vote on. Voting takes places in the Macworld.com forums as well as through Macworld Reader Panel polling conducted by market-research firm Karlin Associates.

The use of computer simulation to help build it right the first time is one major reason why the estimated costs of building the X-38, also known as the lifeboat for the International Space Station, are less than one-tenth the cost of previous space vehicles. In one typical example, Lockheed Martin engineers are using CFD software to ensure the effectiveness of the climate control system of the space vehicle. The engineers built a computer model of the X-38 and its contents, and used CFD to simulate the airflow and heat transfer throughout the vehicles cabin, eliminating the costs of building and testing a physical prototype. Preliminary simulations showed some areas with potential ventilation problems due to equipment blocking airflows.
NOTE: The X-38 project is currently suspended and is under review as a result of funding issues associated with the International Space Station (ISS).
The X-38 is designed for use on the International Space Station (ISS) as an emergency crew return vehicle (see Figure 1.). It is for this purpose that the term "lifeboat" is used. One of the goals of the X-38 program is to build a human spacecraft for an order of magnitude less cost than ever before. In the late 1980s, prior to the X-38, one crew return vehicle project was estimated to cost as much as 2 billion dollars. The X-38 project is expected to build and test fly two prototypes in space for 90 million dollars. Several factors will contribute to the reduced cost. For example, the X-38 uses a lifting body design derived from the U.S. Air Force's X-24A experimental project in the mid-1960s. Additionally, parts of the X-38 will be bought over the counter, using existing, rather than newly designed technology - a marked difference from past NASA spacecraft.

Colorado Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Subscribe to KidsScoop! The monthly family event and savings newsletter.
I was given free tickets for this review, all opinions are my own.
Last weekend, we got the chance to check out the Kids Obstacle Course in CastleRock, CO. I literally had no idea what to expect except for what I have seen on their website. I took all 4 kids with me, which was a little daring since my youngest is 5. I was afraid my older ones would blow through the course and my 5-year-old would quit halfway through.
However, my youngest was so excited this was something he actually got to participate in with his older siblings, he literally out ran me the entire race! I had to keep trying to catch up to him!
They have the races all over the country, and it looks like they are heading to Portland, OR next! To see their entire lineup, check out Kids Obstacle Challenge.
If your going to sign up, here is a list of things to have on hand to be prepared for the race. When your running with kids, you always want to be over prepared!
It was BLAZING hot and thats saying something since it was in Colorado so we got snowcones before AND after the race. Man I wish I was a kid again ;-)
Seriously a super fun race we will do again next year.

It was a truly great collection of cars...
High-resolution photos of the cars and event are available by contacting Rick Roso directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
A small sample of low-resolution photos can be found here
One of the best collection of concours cars in recent years made up the 2011 Sunday in the Park Concours at Lime Rock Park, an elemental part of Historic Festival 29 Presented by Jaguar, September 2-5.
With Jaguar as the weekend sponsor, and the MG Vintage Racers Group making Historic Festival 29 its 2011 "focus" event, there was also an absolute stellar congregation of MGs and Jags as one would expect. Led by organizer Kent Bain, his army of judges was coordinated by Dennis David.
Lime Rock's Sunday in the Park is unique; no other venue, not even Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway's Rolex Motorsports Reunion, has three days of on-track racing sandwiching a prestigious concours event all on the same property.
Having the vintage racing and the concours together also provides the unequalled opportunity for a handful of significant race cars that are competing in the festival to also enter the concours, greatly augmenting the show for spectators and entrants alike.
Winning "Best of Show" was a spectacular 1911 Pope Hartford.
Pope Hartfords were built between 1908 and 1914, in Hartford, Conn., about an hour from Lime Rock Park. The company, Pope Manufacturing, was originally founded in 1878 by Civil War colonel Albert Augustus Pope to make and market what became the famous "Columbia High Wheeler" bicycle.
Pope was one of the first automotive conglomerates, with separate lines consisting of the Pope Waverly, Pope Tribune, Pope Robinson, Pope Toledo and the Pope Hartford. Of these, the Pope Hartford was the only one built at the company headquarters in Hartford. Pope never built more than 700 cars per year; the Pope empire itself collapsed under its own weight in 1914.
Owned by the Dick King Collection, this 1911 Pope Hartford Model W was presented by Stu Laidlaw. Originally part of the Bill Harrah Collection and recently restored, the Model W is powered by a massive 433 cubic-inch overhead valve inline four cylinder with an utterly unique engine note. "It's a fabulous car to drive," said Laidlaw as he accepted the "Best in Show" trophy.
The roadster was a big hit at the show and impressed judges and spectators alike. "It's always great to see one of the foundational members of the automotive community at a show. and the Pope Hartford truly exemplifies the very pinnacle of the early motorcar," said Dennis David, one of Sunday in the Park's guest judges. "Most exciting for the crowd was when the Pope was driven up to the reviewing stand; with all cylinders firing it was a sound that none will forget. I certainly won't."
Other significant winners at the 2011 Sunday in the Park Concours included a stunning 1935 Rolls-Royce 20/25 Sports Saloon wearing a body by Freestone & Webb and owned by M.S. Koly; it won the "Gatsby's Delights" award. The elegant Rolls is a celebrity itself, as it was the personal car of the Waters Sisters, a famous vaudeville act back in the day. The elegant Saloon was even equipped with separate make-up kits for the sisters.
Also making a favourable impression on the crowd and winning the "Risky & Racy" class was Howard Kroplick's huge 1909 ALCO racing machine. It even managed to blow one of the spectator's sunglasses off his head with its bellowing exhaust! Built by the American Locomotive Company in Providence, R.I., the impressive machine roared to the reviewing stand to the delight of all. ALCO's racing history includes Vanderbilt Cup wins in both 1909 and 1910.
Making an elegant and classy appearance in winning the "Environmental Elegance, open cars 1961 to 1980" category was a beautiful 1962 Mercedes Benz 190 SL owned by Jim Petty. Although the 190 SL was built by Mercedes from May of 1955 to February 1983, its timeless and classic roadster lines were right at home on Lime Rock's front stretch. "This was an impeccable restoration right down to the last nut and bolt," said concours judge Chris David.
A crowd favourite also scored a win in the "Off to Grandma's" class: a 1951 Chevrolet Wagon owned by Jack and Vicki Deluca. The Chevy literally purred across the reviewing stand with an engine so quiet one could hear the whispers of the crowd. Station wagons have been gaining in popularity with collectors in recent years, and this one truly exemplified the original American family hauler…
This year's honoured collector was Dr. Fred Simeone of Philadelphia, who brought four extraordinary cars from his vast museum collection – all of which run, and most of which are unrestored:
- A 1956 D-Type Jaguar, the prototype of what would become the iconic E-Type ("XKE") and which finished third at Sebring driven by Bob Sweikert and Jack Ensley
- A K3 MG, the best-placed of all MGs at Le Mans (1934, fourth overall)
- A 1958 DBR1 Aston Martin World Champion Sports Racer, one of the best looking racing cars ever built
- A 1934 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 with a fabulous body by the house of Castagna, absolutely unrestored (like the K3), and also like the MG, in a true state of grace
Below are all the category winners from the 2011 Sunday in the Park Concours at Lime Rock Park…

The Nouveau project made two awesome announcements recently. While the first one was related to the latest Kepler chipset released by NVIDIA, the second one was about a long-term change in the project that will be appreciated by the entire FOSS and Linux community.
Recently, NVIDIA has released the GeForce GTX 680, the first NVIDIA GPU with the all-new Kepler architecture. As always, it was released with the official binary drivers.
Nouveau is a software project aiming to develop free software drivers for NVIDIA graphics cards, by reverse engineering NVIDIA's current proprietary drivers for Linux.
Usually, work on Nouveau drivers starts once the binary drivers are out and available for update. This involves months of reverse engineering the binary drivers. However, to everyone's surprise, Ben Skeggs from RedHat has managed to reverse engineer the binary driver and commit the reverse engineered code to the Nouveau DRM repository, hours after the launch of the official GPU. Effectively, this made Nouveau drivers available on the same day as the official GPU release.
Although the driver is a bit bland, it does the job nonetheless. This was a major breakthrough for the Nouveau project. Although NVIDIA does not officially support the Nouveau project, it allows this reverse engineering and the project has thrived on this very fact. However, this quick release has raised many questions and we cannot overlook the possibility of NVIDIA's involvement in this release.
The second breakthrough is the state of the project. The Nouveau driver was a staging driver until now. It was considered stand-alone and was not merged with the mainline Linux kernel because of some technical reasons. Finally, the driver has moved out of staging. It has found a place in the mainline Linux kernel, and it will be available from Kernel version 3.4.

Assignment of Courses
Students are responsible for fulfilling all requirements of the curriculum in which they are enrolled. They should consult with their advisors and be familiar with the K-State Catalogs.
A catalog is provided on the web and is maintained by the Office of the Registrar.
No student is officially enrolled in courses or for private lessons in music or other subjects until a formal course assignment is completed.
An undergraduate student has an enrollment cap of 21 units in a term. To add additional units beyond the cap, a student must consult with the appropriate dean's office.
A student will be considered full-time for fall and spring terms if she or he is enrolled in 12 or more term units and for summer if enrolled in at least 9 term units.
No more than 16 units, including those obtained in research, may be assigned in a single term, nor more than 9 units during a summer term. If a part of the assignment is for undergraduate credit, a student may be assigned to 17 units during a term or 10 units during a summer term. Full-time staff members of the university may not be assigned to more than 6 units in one term, nor more than 3 units in a summer term, and may enroll only with the permission of their supervisors. (See section on assistantships and fellowships for limitations applying to students holding assistantships.) These limitations apply to courses audited as well as courses for which credit is earned.
Course schedule changes processed after deadlines must be accompanied by the approval of the student's advisor, the instructors, and the dean of the Graduate School.
All graduate students who have matriculated at Kansas State University and are using faculty time and/or university facilities for research or other academic pursuits must be enrolled. The enrollment should reflect, as accurately as possible, the demands made on faculty time and use made of university facilities. Further, a graduate degree candidate must be enrolled during the term in which the requirements for a degree are completed.
A student working for the Ph.D. must enroll during the term in which the preliminary examination is taken and subsequently in each term (summer terms excepted) until the degree requirements are satisfied and the dissertation is accepted by the Graduate School. Failure to enroll will result in loss of candidacy. To regain candidacy, the student will be re-examined over the areas covered in his or her preliminary examinations in a manner to be determined by the supervisory committee.
If it is necessary to interrupt progress toward the degree after the preliminary examination has been passed, then the student (or the major professor) may petition for leave of absence for up to one year which subsequently may be renewed. Renewals for those who are meeting a military service requirement will be automatic. The petition must be submitted at least one month before the effective date of leave. Approval must be granted by the major professor, chair of the department or graduate program, and the dean of the Graduate School.
Upon written notification, doctoral candidates, who have passed preliminary examinations and do not live in a 30-mile radius of Manhattan, may request the Graduate School to send enrollment information prior to an enrollment period. Candidates may then enroll themselves through the K-State Student Information System (KSIS).
Curriculum Change
Students desiring to transfer from one college to another within the university should confer with both deans concerned.
Faculty and Staff Enrollment
Full-time faculty members and regular employees, with approval of their department heads or deans, may enroll in undergraduate or graduate work not to exceed 6 contact hours in fall and spring terms or 6 contact hours during the summer term.
Late Enrollment
A $65 Special Handling Fee will be assessed to students who enroll in classes on or after the first day of the term.
Non-Standard Drop and Refund Dates
Non-Standard courses (courses that do not meet for the regular 16-week session), have drop and refund dates that are calculated on a pro-rated basis. To check the deadlines for a non-standard course, refer to courses.k-state.edu/courses >Course Schedules > Academic Term > Course schedule > K-State's schedule of courses by college and department with instructions.
Military Deployment Procedures
Enrollment and Fee Procedure for Emergency Military Deployment
Kansas State University will provide the following options to resident and non-resident students enrolled in credit classes who are required to discontinue their attendance as a result of orders to active military duty arising from the need for a long-term TDY or emergency military deployment.
- Complete the Proper Form
Option A: A student may withdraw from all classes and receive a 100% refund of all enrollment fees paid (except for late fees and Military Tuition Assistance). The student must contact the dean's office for their program plan/major for assistance in withdrawing from their classes. (Failure to withdraw from a class, even if no fees are owed, may result in a failing grade.), OR
Option B: In consultation with the faculty members involved, a student may elect to take an "Incomplete" in his/her classes, with the ability to complete the course requirements upon return to K-State. Information about Incompletes can be found in the K-State catalog. (Failure to request an "Incomplete" or "Withdraw" from a course may result in a failing grade.) Returning students are responsible for making arrangements with faculty members for the completion of work for which an "Incomplete" has been recorded. As an alternative to "Incomplete", other arrangements for receiving a grade and/or completing a course may be made, as appropriate, through the student's consultation with the faculty members involved, OR
Option C: A combination of the above wherein the student may withdraw from some classes and continue enrollment in those remaining. Any refund for course withdrawal will be based on the difference between what the student initially paid and what the student would owe had he/she enrolled only in the remaining courses. Marks for continuing courses will be arrived at in keeping with B. above.
- Contact K-State Office of Veterans Affairs
Students who are receiving veterans assistance or other financial aid should contact the K-State Office of Veterans Affairs of Student Financial Assistance. Call 785-532-7061 or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. The Office of Student Financial Assistance is located in 104 Fairchild Hall and the K-State Office of Veterans Affairs is in 221 Anderson Hall).
- Provide Documentation
A student required to discontinue their attendance as a result of orders to active military duty arising from the need for a long-term TDY or emergency military deployment must provide to the dean's office for their program plan/major a copy of his/her military orders indicating such assignment. A copy of orders may be mailed subsequent to the student's departure, or, in the absence of a copy of the military orders, a written statement from the cognizant commander will be accepted. The documentation should be mailed to the appropriate dean's office.
Prep Week (also known as Dead Week)
The week before term final examinations period (known as prep week) is set aside as a period of curtailed social activity. Except for honors, problems, seminar, reports, research, laboratory practical, language, studio and fine arts performance classes, the last examination (either unit or comprehensive) must be given during the final examination period published on the web. No examination (unit or final) may be scheduled seven calendar days prior to the first scheduled day of term examinations.
Refund Policy
The following table applies to students who drop one or more courses or completely withdraw from a term. Refunds are calculated by counting calendar days, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Percentages and days are illustrated for full-term/regular session courses. Refunds for courses of less than a full term (non-standard session courses), including all summer courses, will be pro-rated based on the number of days in the course. Refer to the Non-Standard Drop/Refund Dates table for non-standard session course deadlines. Each course will be refunded separately from any other courses. If any refund deadline falls on a weekend or university holiday, the deadline will be extended to the next business day.
|Time of Withdrawal
|Refund Percentage
|Through 21st Calendar Day
|22nd Through 28th Calendar Day
|After 28th Calendar Day
|No Refund
Refunds will not be made until sufficient time has elapsed to ensure that fee payment checks have been honored by the bank, usually 15 days after the student pays. Refunds generated entirely from dropped courses will not be issued during the first 20 days of class. Students who completely withdraw from a term lose access to all campus student services as of the date of withdrawal. Academic action taken after the last day of a term will not result in a refund.
Federal regulations may require students attending the university who receive federal forms of financial assistance under Title IV, and completely withdraw from the university, to be subject to a "return of Title IV aid" calculation which is different from the above refund percentages. Contact the office of Student Financial Assistance for details.
Students who must report for active U.S. military duty during an academic term are entitled to receive a full refund of tuition and fees. All refunds are subject to presentation of official military documentation. Students who volunteer for military service will be subject to the University's non-military refund policy. Room and board charges will be prorated to the extent that services have been provided.
Continuing Education
Some professional degree programs may have special refund policies that will be published in the program announcement. For Non-Credit Programs, refund policies will be stated in the published announcement. A full refund will be made if the program is cancelled.
Withdrawal from K-State
Fall and Spring Terms
A student who withdraws from the university must complete a notice of withdrawal form; contact the appropriate dean's office.
If a student withdraws during the first 36 calendar days of a 70 or more calendar day course (approximately 10 or more weeks in length), no mark will be recorded on the student's transcript. Thereafter, a mark of "W" is recorded; a course less than 70 calendar days (approximately 10 or more weeks in length), is prorated. The deadline for withdrawing is the end of the 68th calendar day of the term; for a course less than 70 calendar days (approximately 10 or more weeks in length), the withdrawal date is prorated.
When a student withdraws from the university, student privileges, such as use of the Recreation Complex, stop.
If a student finds it necessary to withdraw from the university for verifiable nonacademic reasons after the 68th calendar day, he or she should consult the appropriate dean's office.
Summer Term
A summer withdrawal requires no approval from the student's academic dean's office. Students should drop their courses in KSIS.
Refer to courses.k-state.edu/courses >Course Schedules > Academic Term > Course schedule > K-State's schedule of courses by college and department with instructions for non-standard drop and refund dates.

LMC Welcomes High School Students for Partners Program
For the 24th consecutive year, Lexington Medical Center is welcoming some of the best and brightest high school students from Lexington County to experience the "Partners Program," a summer internship that offers an excellent glimpse of careers in the health care industry.
During a three-week session, students will rotate through three clinical areas in the mornings. In addition, they will participate in hands-on activities two days a week at the University of South Carolina College of Pharmacy, Midlands Technical College and Lexington Medical Center Extended Care. Students will also tour the hospital's lab, view a virtual surgery and participate in a team-building activity.
Supported by Lexington Medical Center Foundation, the Safety Council of South Carolina and Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company, this year's Partners Program received more than 100 applications. At the end of the program, a rising senior from each Lexington County high school and one rising senior from home/private schools will be awarded a $1,000 book scholarship for their freshman year of college.
The Partners Program continues to be a popular program with Lexington County students and LMC staff. In fact, several hospital employees participated in the program when they attended high school. Jon Bridges, associate director in the Physician Network, is one of those employees.
"The Partners Program gave me an early opportunity to learn about health care in our area. As a result, I realized that I wanted to seek further hands-on exposure to determine if health care was a good, long-term fit for me," Bridges said.
Congratulations 2014 Partners Program Participants:
