by Barbara L. Sherf
At one time, the palatial home of Henry McIlhenny was the home of one of one of the most remarkable private collections of art in the United States Today the large estate home of what was formerly known as Park Gate is a moldering, lost hulk of a building hidden in a stand of trees just above Lincoln Drive at 6340 Wayne Avenue next to Lingelbach Elementary School.
Despite the bad shape of the house, efforts to preserve the property continue thanks to J. Patrick Moran, vice president for advocacy at the Germantown Historical Society, and a handful of hearty volunteers. Moran has spent hours putting together the initial application to get Park Gate listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places before it falls into further disrepair.
On a recent visit to Park Gate, Moran shared his thoughts on possible outcomes for the property.
"If something is not done, it may well be torn down or allowed to fall down," Moran said. But wouldn't it be wiser to explore useful alternatives that could save the house and allow it to become a Northwest landmark once again.
"In a perfect world, for example, the disparate cultural and community groups from throughout the Northwest might be housed in one outstanding location and also serve as a resource akin to a Northwest Philadelphia Cultural Center. It's rich in architectural detail," he noted standing outside of the boarded up mansion overlooking a weed-filled lot.
Moran is one of the few to have been inside the property in recent years. He was permitted on a brief tour two years ago.
"There is no electricity inside, so I used my phone as a light source and took some photographs with a flash," he said while standing on the steps of the main building. "It was like visiting the Titanic, seeing those rooms that once held such important works of art. While there is a lot of damage from water infiltration, it is limited to certain areas and some areas, like the oak paneled stair hall, are relatively intact."
At one time, the McIlhenny house was the home of numerous works of art by European masters. McIlhenny had collected the works during World War II when European contacts sent him the pieces for safekeeping from the Nazis. Among the artists McIlhenny had hanging in his home were: Pierre-August Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Edgar Degas. McIlhenny's collection was lent at various times to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, earning the man a seat on the museum board.
The first application for preserving the house was reviewed and declined pending a number of clarifications, including a precise description of the lot size that will be bound by inclusion on the register. In December, Moran submitted a draft of the second submission with the additional information and is waiting to hear back on the outcome.
"The building is very important to the community and we want to be sure that the next time we submit the full application that it reflects all the changes and additional information that will make it a strong prospect for inclusion on the register," Moran said from his home, located not far from the vacant mansion on Lincoln Drive
In the application, Moran argues that "Park Gate and the life, interests, achievements and impact of the McIlhenny family, make it a unique contributor to the social, historical, and architectural heritage of Germantown and Mt. Airy, and also of Philadelphia.
"Following his mother's death, Henry McIlhenny, longtime Philadelphia Museum of Art Curator and later PMA Board chair, sold the estate to Fredric Mann (after whom the Mann Music Center was named) and moved to Rittenhouse Square to pursue a second phase of art collecting. The Manns decided that they did not want to live in the house, and the estate was sold again two years later, to the Philadelphia School District (PSD)."
As a result, PSD dismantled a stable that once stood on the property but left the house intact. The stable area and lawns were blacktopped for parking and PSD erected the Lingelbach Elementary School where the formal gardens once stood.
At one time, there was a winding driveway from Lincoln Drive, near Johnson Street, to the front entrance. Currently, the only automobile access to Park Gate is through the fenced-in parking lot of the school, at the intersection of Wayne Avenue and Johnson Street.
The stone gates, after which the house was named, remain on Lincoln Drive, marking an entrance to the Wissahickon section of Fairmount Park. The matching gates were a gift from prominent investment banker Edward Stotesbury to the community in 1900.
In terms of preservation, in its public position paper, the Preservation Alliance of Philadelphia has recommended that Park Gate be listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places "so that the property is protected from demolition and adverse alteration."
"The School District needs to recognize the distinctive nature of this historic property and evaluate whether it fits into its long-term needs," the paper reads. "If not, the School District should place preservation easements on the property and seek a buyer to restore the structure and return it to an active function."
The school district has not provided a comment for this story.
Moran, explains in the application why Park Gate is historically and architecturally significant in excerpts from the exhaustive GHS application.
"Park Gate is a remarkable example of an American country house in the early Tudor style," the application reads. "The house was designed in 1910 by the design firm of Durhring, Okie & Ziegler, which significantly influenced the architectural development of Philadelphia. All three partners were regularly published in influential architectural publications, such as the American Country Houses of Today series, in the beginning of the 20th century.
In a 1920 issue of The America Architect, a critic wrote 'it is to be hoped that Mr. McIlhenny's example may find many followers, and that we may find more specimens of truly great art brought into closer contact with our daily life.'"
Moran went on to point out that there are several examples of similarly derelict properties that are being restored such as a historic home that once belonged to a member of the Pastorius family on Price Street in Germantown.
"Hopefully these efforts nearby may contribute a good outcome for the house," Moran said. "Currently the pergola site below the mansion is undergoing restoration, and a science teacher from the Lingelbach School has been inspired to create a fitness trail on the slope below the school and adjacent to the pergolas as a result of the improvements that are being made.
"The Presser Home on nearby Johnson Street was just as derelict and is a great example of a building once thought to be a lost cause that is being successfully restored for an adaptive reuse."
On a personal level, Moran recalls his mother telling stories of visiting the home on a Halloween evening in the 1930's and being mesmerized by its size and beauty. His parents and grandparents on both sides of the family grew up in the Germantown/Mt. Airy area. Moran pointed out that although many interior elements have been stolen, some remain.
"You can see in the 45-minutes we've been here that there is limited security, he said."
Still, you can envision the charm and beauty this place once possessed. You can see what it was and what it could be again."
One winter morning, Moran found a discarded newel post to the hall banister in the snow outside of the home and he has stored it in his garage.
"I would love to hand it over to a preservation effort, to be included in a restoration of the house one day," he said.

For so long everyone thought George Clooney was so wonderful. Sure he is alright but now people can see just what the rest of us have known all along. MARK WAHLBERG Yes, that is what 3 Kings will do for him. I'm so glad to finally see this happen for him. Now for "The Perfect Storm" to come out and give him even more fame. (But do we really want to share him with others??). Congradulations Mark. Keep making movies that show us what you are made of.

I got Three Kings on DVD for Easter!!!!!!
I loved it but the part where Mark was captured was not good.
It had some sad parts esp thr end when they wouldn't let those people pass to the border.
Very controversial movie. Anyone know if it was based on a true story?
My husband wants to know too.
God Bless,

I don't think so, other than the fact that they were trying to point out the humanity in the War, which was overlooked by the press here, and that there were more things going on than we were told about at the time.

This may come a little late and no one may even care about it anymore, but Three Kings is losely based on a real story. Although the guys who it's based on didn't try to steal millions in Kuwaity bullion they tried to steal a big gold statue of Buddha.

And I have to say...DOUBLE-DUH!!!
Yeah, I had read about the truth behind 3K someplace a while back... and also since I work for the Department of Veterans Affairs, I have read accounts of things over there, and even the vets admit that the average joe-blow hasn't a clue as to that which really transpired 9 years ago... But even in WWII, the government wasn't playing entirely straight with the American ppl. So what else is new.

Hydration: Effect of potatoes?
Does anybody have a good rule of thumb for calculating the hydration of a dough when it includes plain, cooked and mashed potato?
According to the USDA: Potatoes, baked, flesh, without salt (100 grams) contain on average 75.42 grams of water. That sounds right I guess, but how much of that moisture is available to the dough, and how should I adjust hydration in relation to potato content?

Hi everyone,
I am sure not the only one who wants to keep my Z8 original but dream of being able to be able to listen music from my iPhone.
I found this on Amazon but not sure it works with our beloved car. They sell it for 112$.
Has anybody tried it or something similar that works with the original factory radio ?

Here's an amazing chart from Pew Research, which is being tweeted around by Charley Warzel of AdWeek, Andrew Kaczynski of Buzzfeed, and others.
It shows the number of times different convention-related videos have been viewed on YouTube.
The highlights:
- Barack Obama's convention speech has been viewed 5 times as many times as Mitt Romney's convention speech.
- Mitt Romney's "47%" video has been viewed 2 million times more than his convention speech.
- Clint Eastwood's convention speech has been viewed 2 million times more than Mitt Romney's convention speech
- Michelle Obama's convention speech has been viewed 3-times as many times as Romney's convention speech--and 6-times as often as Ann Romney's

AS the winner of several Olivier awards, British director Declan Donnellan is used to the odd coup de theatre, that moment when events on stage take a turn for the astonishing.
But what happened on the red carpet in Berlin for Bel Ami, his feature film debut, had even Donnellan thinking he had lost the plot.
"There was one moment when I thought I'd gone mad," says Donnellan, who was in Glasgow last month for the film festival premiere of Bel Ami with the movie's co-director, the theatre designer Nick Ormerod.
"I was convinced I heard some people scream 'Nick', 'Declan'. I thought this is really pathetic, you've gone mad. But we looked round and there was a group of about six people who had photos of us taken from the set, pulled from the internet. We were so grateful," he says, laughing. "We threw them in Rob's face."
The "Rob" to whom he refers, and the reason why Donnellan and Ormerod were amazed to receive any attention at all, is Robert Pattinson, one of the stars of Bel Ami but best known for playing Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga. For Twihards, as fans of the vampire films are known, Pattinson is a one-man Beatles, or a taller Daniel Radcliffe, take your pick. When he walks a red carpet it gets very noisy, very quickly.
Bel Ami, adapted from the Guy de Maupassant novel, is the tale of Georges Duroy, a French country boy and former soldier who has no talents to speak of but plenty in the way of good looks. Arriving in fin-de-siecle Paris, Georges finds himself a job as a political journalist just as war is brewing. More importantly to his towering ambitions, he finds a role as favoured "friend" to many a powerful man's wife.
After Water for Elephants and Remember Me, Bel Ami marks another staging post in Pattinson's trek from teen film star to leading man. Though the Twilight saga grinds on (brace yourselves for Breaking Dawn: Part 2 later this year), the 25-year-old is wisely thinking about what happens next.
His chances of impressing in Bel Ami are aided by a cast of fellow actors which includes Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas as the Parisian ladies charmed by Georges.
It's possible to see a certain irony in Pattinson, a young actor largely known up to this point for his good looks, playing a character who has little else to offer but his handsomeness. Donnellan is having none of that. "I've worked with actors for 35 years and some very, very good ones. Rob is unbelievably talented. He is not Georges Duroy." (David Cronenberg, who directs Pattinson in the forthcoming Cosmopolis, also praised the Pattinson acting chops when I interviewed him recently.)
Indeed, one of the reasons Pattinson, together with Scott Thomas and the rest of the cast agreed to work for not very much on what is Donnellan and Ormerod's feature debut (they previously have a short film to their names) is that they know the pair through the theatre, or through Donnellan's textbook on acting, The Actor and the Target.
That explains why the cast signed up, but why would Donnellan and Ormerod, whose theatre company, Cheek by Jowl, performs all over the world, want to trade theatre for film? When we speak in Glasgow, their latest production, 'Tis Pity She's a Whore, has just opened at the Barbican the night before to four-star reviews.
"We've always loved film," says Ormerod. "We go to the cinema to relax as opposed to the theatre. The theatre is kind of work." The reason it has taken them so long to make their first feature is that they didn't think they could cope with the long gap between having an idea for a film and starting work on it. "We would go stir crazy without working," says Donnellan. "We have to be in a room with actors at least once a year making something new."
Now in their late fifties and early sixties, it wasn't a case of now or never for Donnellan and Ormerod so much as a matter of why not now? As it turned out, the theatre work managed to dovetail neatly with the film preparations, but it has still been a long haul. And not a lavishly funded one, either. With the budget for Bel Ami just nine million euros (still a fortune compared to the theatre, says Donnellan), a lot of sandwiches were eaten and plenty of budget flights taken as Budapest took the place of 1890s Paris.
Compared to some of the productions they've staged in a career which stretches from putting on Romeo and Juliet with the Bolshoi in Moscow to taking Don Giovanni on a tour of Scotland's islands, filmmaking sounds like a doddle.
"I wouldn't say it was relaxing exactly," says Ormerod, laughing. "But it was very exciting. It's a weird process, up and down in the day, like a rollercoaster."
They were both anxious before the shoot began, says Donnellan. "We'd read all the books, we'd got the storybook done, we knew where the cameras were going to go. We were so nervous not to mess up because it was our first movie. But by about the third hour we just threw it all over our shoulders and improvised on the spot. We learned really fast."
Both found their theatre experience invaluable, particularly when it came to editing and directing the actors. The difference between stage and screen acting is one of scale, says Donnellan. "But great film actors still act. The camera likes to see people think, but so does the audience."
Which leads us back to Pattinson. Most feature film debuts struggle to get an audience. Pattinson's name and face on the billboards should mean that won't be a problem for Bel Ami. There might also be added interest because of what we'll delicately call the film's more intimate scenes.
"I've done worse on stage," laughs Donnellan. "It is the most unerotic experience in the world doing a sex scene. It ain't erotic on stage either, but you can laugh more on stage."
As for the possibility the film will attract the type of audiences not normally drawn to adaptations of 19th-century French novels, their attitude is that everyone is welcome. That said, they acknowledge that when they began working with Pattinson the first Twilight film was just opening. "The whole mania hadn't started yet," says Donnellan.
On set, Pattinson just got on with the work. "He's very much his own man," says Donnellan. "He's very quietly serious. All of that Rob hysteria you see is completely absent from the set. There's no sense of that at all, he's a nice guy from Barnes."
Their first real taste of that "hysteria" was the Berlin Film Festival red carpet. That turned out okay, and they have similar hopes for the film when it opens in the UK next week. They've already started gathering ideas for their next film. The duo who both ran away from law careers 35 years ago to join the theatre have no plans to stop running yet.
Bel Ami opens in cinemas next Friday, March 9.

I live 75 miles from the nearest Apple store but we do have an ATT store in town. I got there at 11:30 and managed to snag their last iPhone 5s. They serve a small, rural market with a total regional population of about 50,000 and received only 15 of the 5ses (?). And were sold out at 11:31. Given that I assume that every store will be sold out if they are not already.
I traded in my 2 year old iPhone 4s for $205 so the net (with a 2 year contract) was $118 after taxes. I recognize that I could have sold my 4s on eBay but this was a convenient and trouble free option that took all of 5 minutes.
In talking to my rep and several other ATT and Verizon reps over the past few weeks, they apparently make somewhere on the order of $5 when they sell an iPhone compared to the nearly $20 they make when they sell a Samsung. You can imagine how that changes the showroom floor dynamics with undecided customers. The moral: if you buying an iPhone from an ATT store, be polite and think about leaving a tip.
As soon as I started to restore from backup Apple notified me that iOS 7.01 had been released. I have been playing with it on my 4s for a few days and was likeing it and while the speed was great the battery life was really sucking and acting very weird. So maybe this will fix that. Not sure.
Siri on the other hand has become quite the capable transcriber. Not only has her understanding taken a huge leap she can now read AND send emails. That is very cool. I dictated several fairly complicated emails WHILE RIDING MY BIKE and she sent them flawlessly.
Some Random Thoughts on iOS 7.01, Siri and Buying the 5s by Mike Blumenthal

Orgasms and Nerves
Without nerves sending impulses back to the spinal cord and brain, an orgasm wouldn't be possible. Just like any other area of the body, the genitalia contain different nerves that send information to the brain to tell it about the sensation that's being experienced. This helps to explain why the sensations are perceived differently depending on where someone is being touched. A clitoral orgasm, for example, differs from a vaginal orgasm because different sets of nerves are involved.
All of the genitalia contain a huge number of nerve endings (the clitoris alone has more than 8,000 of them), which are, in turn, connected to large nerves that run up through the body to the spinal cord. (The exception is the vagus nerve, which bypasses the spinal cord.) They perform many other functions in the body in addition to providing the nerve supply, and therefore feedback to the brain, during sexual stimulation. Here are the nerves and their corresponding genital areas
- hypogastric nerve - transmits from the uterus and the cervix in women and from the prostate in men
- pelvic nerve - transmits from the vagina and cervix in women and from the rectum in both sexes
- pudendal nerve - transmits from the clitoris in women and from the scrotum and penis in men
- vagus nerve - transmits from the cervix, uterus and vagina
The role of the vagus nerve in orgasms is a new discovery and there's still much that's unknown about it; until recently, researchers didn't know that it passed through the pelvic region at all.
Since most of those nerves are associated with the spinal cord, it would stand to reason that a person with a severed spinal cord wouldn't be able to have an orgasm. And for a very long time, that's what people with these types of injuries were told. However, recent studies show that people with spinal cord injuries -- even parapalegics -- can reach orgasm. Dr. Barry Komisaruk and Dr. Beverly Whipple of Rutgers University conducted a study on women with severed spinal cords in 2004. They discovered that these women could feel stimulation of their cervixes and even reach orgasm, although there was no way their brain could be receiving information from the hypogastric or pelvic nerves. How was this possible? An MRI scan of the women's brains showed that the region corresponding to signals from the vagus nerve was active. Because the vagus bypasses the spinal cord, the women were still able to feel cervical stimulation.
So during sexual stimulation and orgasm, different areas of the brain receive all of this information that lets it know exactly what's happening -- and that what's happening is very enjoyable. But until recently, we had no way of knowing exactly what was happening in the brain at the exact moment of orgasm. We'll check out the latest research next.

Here's a newsflash. Women and men are different. This, I realize, is likely not news to you, but an item I came across yesterday might be. The piece in question, "Why Corporate Women Are More Likely to Blow the Whistle" by Maureen Tkacik, appeared on Slate's DoubleX, and saw me go from zero to completely riled up by the end of the first page. In it, Tkacik talks about "a veritable Davos of Bitches Who Told You So," including Enron whistleblower Sherron Watkins, Brooksley Born–former chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, who spent three years pushing for derivative regulation only to be shushed by Alan Greenspan, Larry Summers, and Robert Rubin; Sheila Bair, the only government regulator who can credibly claim to have seen the crisis coming; and Genevievette Walker-Lightfoot, an SEC attorney who smelled a rat in Bernie Madoff-land, way back in 2004.
Such examples are all the more amazing when you consider not just Who and What these women were speaking out against, but when you consider how few women there are in the position To speak out on such issues in the first place. But back to Watkins, who, post-Enrongate, was named one of Time magazine's 2002 "People of the Year." At that time, when asked whether she thought women were somehow more ethical than men, Watkins said no. But it seems that, with the passage of seven years, came a change of heart. And perhaps a willingness to claim la difference. Tkacik writes:
She thinks women are more likely to blow the whistle than men, for reasons that have as much to do with nature as with nurture…. Watkins became convinced whistle-blowing was one of the few types of "risk" that come more naturally to women after meeting Judy Rosener, best known for a somewhat controversial 1990 Harvard Business Review article that encouraged working women to stop imitating men and embrace a "women's way of leading."
Now, it's long been believed that, in the battle of the sexes, men are the natural-born risk takers. But, according to Rosener, it depends on what kind of risk we're talking about: one, which one takes with the encouragement of an audience (think Deal or No Deal… or shortsighted shareholders) is where men tend to excel. The other, which Rosener calls "moral risk" is the kind that one takes in spite of the audience's disapproval. And that kind is where women excel. Tkacik continues, saying:
In addition, when women see wrongdoing, they try to fix it within their own organizations. Men, by contrast, tend to alert the media–even though women whistleblowers are the ones more often portrayed as opportunistic "media darlings" chasing Erin Brokovichian adulation.
So yes, in that respect, women are often damned if we do, and damed if we don't. But that's not my point (today). Today, my point is this: plotted against a timeline of the modern workplace, women are relatively new to the game. And it made sense that, upon our initial entree, our strategy was to blend in, to play like the boys, even to look like them (one word: shoulderpads). We downplayed our differences, fearing that, if the men smelled fear, insecurity, or Chanel #5, we'd be at an immediate disadvantage. Or maybe kicked out of the club for good. But it seems to me that every time we choose not to own our womanness — and all the differences (like the willingness to blow the proverbial whistle and the tendency to be discreet about it, all despite the fact that we'll likely be vilified for it) inherent to that womanness — we do ourselves and our gender as a whole a disservice. Several months ago, I came across this interview with Elizabeth Lesser, founder of the Omega Institute, which really gets to the core of the issue. Among other things, Lesser considers how Hillary Clinton's reluctance to have a "Gender" speech on par with Obama's "Race" speech — a legacy of the early working woman's Pretend You're One of the Boys mantra, perhaps — as a significant factor in her undoing. (On the other hand, look at the treatment Sotomayor received for being forthright on the subject, and who can blame Madame Secretary?) When asked about the recent formation of Omega's Women's Institute, Lesser says:
We've had centuries of power and leadership where men have been at the helm. There's some real serious gaps in representation in the world. And also the world's in trouble. What would happen if women became empowered and could lead from their core basic values? Not just let's put women into a structure that is about up-down power, like I have power over you. But what if women could actually influence the way power was wielded in the world, from a core feminine place. … The conversation we need to have now is no longer about women assuming positions of leadership within the existing power structure, it's about the power structures themselves, it's about how to go about assuming power, how to change the structures.
Which leads us right back to Rosener's words about embracing a "women's way of leading," nearly twenty years old, and still, so much easier said than done. And she and Lesser are talking about change on the macro level. But I think it's relevant on the personal level, as well. Because it's a choice — and maybe acknowledging who we really are and where we're really coming from is one way to make every other decision we face just a little bit easier.

INDIANAPOLIS — When it comes to physical activity, more is better. That's the consensus of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Heart Association in its updated physical activity guidelines released in late August.
Healthy adults ages 18 to 65 need moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity for at least 30 minutes five days each week or vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity for at least 20 minutes three days each week, according to the updated physical activity guidelines.
In addition, adults benefit from performing activities at least two days each week that maintain or increase muscular strength and endurance. The two groups recommend that eight to 10 exercises using the major muscle groups be performed on two non-consecutive days. To maximize strength development, a weight should be used that results in willful fatigue after eight to 12 repetitions of each exercise.
The preventive recommendation specifies how adults, by engaging in regular physical activity, can promote and maintain health and reduce risk of chronic disease and premature death.
The groups also released a companion recommendation for adults ages 65 and older and adults between the ages of 50 and 64 with chronic conditions or physical functional limitations.
The recommendations are an update and clarification of the 1995 recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and ACSM on the types and amounts of physical activity needed by healthy adults to improve and maintain health. The core recommendation remains fundamentally unchanged despite the fact that more than 10 years have passed since it was issued.

Just came across "Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease," by Dr. Robert Lustig.
Dr. Lustig is a pediatric endocrinologist and the Director of the Weight Assessment for Teen and Child Health Program at the University of California San Francisco's Benioff Children's Hospital. Dr. Lustig came to the issue of weight and obesity via a start caring for children who had survived brain tumors. The therapy to get rid of the tumor often damaged the hypothalamus. Some of the kids developed hypothalamic obesity, because the neurons in the hypothalamus that sense the leptin signal are all dead. "Even if these kids eat only 500 calories a day, they gain weight." Why? "Leptin is a protein made and released by fat cells. It circulates in the bloodstream, goes to the hypothalamus, and signals the hypothalamus that you've got enough energy stored up in your fat." If the hypothalamus can't hear the signal, the person will continue to store, not burn, energy.
So Dr. Lustig knew years ago that weight was not only about "calories in, calories out." His book argues forcefully that obesity is not a "choice" or the result of bad individual decisions. He recounts the stories of obese 6 month and 1 year olds, and the fact that some kinds of infant formula have roughly the same amount of sugar per serving as coca-cola. Did the 6 month old or the 1 year old make "bad choices?"
He would like to see a public health attack on what he believes are the true sources of obesity: sugar, especially fructose, and processed food of all kinds. He notes that many individuals, children among them, have no practical control over what they eat either because of lack of access to real food–in urban "food deserts," for example, or because of poverty. Nutrition programs that support low income people, such as Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) are not first and foremost nutrition programs but rather ways of disposing of federally-subsidized agricultural surplus crops.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the book for me, however, as the parent of a teenager who has tried most everything (except a starvation diet) to bring her weight down to a healthy level, is his estimation that in his practice, 60% of kids can resolve their weight issues by eliminating unhealthy carbohydrates such as sugar, flour etc., but 40% CANNOT. They need additional support in the form of supplements, or drugs that do things such as improve insulin sensitivity, and even bariatric surgery.
This is the FIRST place I have ever seen a 40% failure rate for a low carb eating plan. In Life Without Bread, about which I've written before, Dr. Wolfgang Lutz, practicing in Germany from about 1960 on reported 100% success with a low carb eating plan for his pediatric patients within a year except in very extreme cases, which might take longer to resolve, or in cases where it was subsequently learned patients hadn't actually followed the plan. And failure is too strong a word–there is no question that a low carb eating plan has vastly improved Juliana's quality of life–she weighs less; she has far more energy, and a more positive and more stable mood on a low carb eating plan. But she's not all the way to a healthy weight and remains at risk for metabolic syndrome and diabetes.
In fact, in Fat Chance there is a description of something called acanthosis nigricans. In all my low carb reading, I'd never heard of it. It is a darkening, or thickening, and ridging of the skin at the back of your neck, armpits, and knuckles. People think it's dirt, or on the neck "ring around the collar." In fact, it is excess insulin working on the skin. It can't be washed off. Juliana has had this on her neck, even after months on a low carb eating plan, and after her fasting insulin level was tested at an excellent "3″. Even though her fasting insulin level is fantastic, I suspect there is still something else going on with her non-fasting insulin response–her hormonal response to food.
I wonder whether the difference between Dr. Lutz's clinical experience and Dr. Lustig's clinical experience is literally the change in the world in the past 50 years. When Dr. Lutz began his practice, endocrine disruptive chemicals were not everywhere. Now they are. It is practically impossible to avoid exposure.
Oh, and is it any surprise, that Dr. Lustig is a buddy of my hero Gary Taubes, whose work first led us to try a low carb eating plan?

Didn't I mention above?
Grifter said:
There is no polite way to say this...."That is a terrible string" - It is no wonder the guy next to was saying you were "slowing down the game" - you were!
- I'm surprised they even let you bet the $37.50 and the $62.50. That just isn't done at a $25 table.
- "Rainbow" bets are bad for everyone; you, other players, the dealer, because they really interrupt the flow of the game.....In your case, if that casino doesn't use a 2.50 chip you were betting four different levels. Two color bets are o.k., but either three or four levels slow down the payoffs too much.
- Check me on this, but I believe Walter recommends a 25-35-45-55 for his method with a $25 unit.
PJ said:Nice streaks, Bug. I played Friday morning using a similar progression only to get $200 behind. Never was able to recover. What time of day did the 9 and 12 streaks occur? How many players at your table?
O.K., so where you play allows that and you bet your 25/37.5/50/62.5. Yes sir, you go right ahead and play that way, if ..
- If you want to slow down the game.
- If you want to constantly dink with your chips.
- If you want to completely alienate the dealer.
- If you want the dealer, pit boss and the other players to immediately label you as a newbie/rookie/ploppie (pick one) Personally, I want to be as anonymous as possible at the table.

You $62.50:
- Dealers do not instantly know these oddball payoffs. Why should they? Nobody bets that way (well almost nobody).
- He sees a blackjack and a $62.50 bet, so he has to figure it out. He might/probably do it this way ..Uhhhh $50 pays $75, and pluck your three green .uhhhh $10 pays $15 and pluck your three red, .Lets see, $2.00 pays $3.00 and plucks your three white, and finally $0.50 pays $0.75 .oh shucky durn, this is a $25.00 table, I dont have quarters in my tray, I guess Ill have to round up, or is it round down??
- And in the meantime the pit boss and the other players are mumbling under their breath and saying when did this yahoo fall off the turnip truck.
Get the picture???......Make life simple for yourself and everybody else.
See page 167, and I quote, If you find yourself at a $25 minimum table, I recommend a $25 - $35 - $45 - $55 progression. ..
Grifter said:Bughousemaster I specifically told you I was not going to get into a discussion about something so basic and trivial, that I would make a one pass response, and that I would point out some common sense issues .I did that, issue closed.

The only good things about this is as far as structural back injuries goes this is one o the less severe, so until we get final word on a timetable we can just hope for the best.

I think alot of you are over reacting to this Bulging disc injury. They say surgery is NOT necessary, they say he's going to be out "months" then "4 weeks" now they are saying "2weeks" spare me the panic button worries best case scenario dude will be back and receive very limited mins and maybe miss a few games to receive an extended amount of rest time OR he is back by the time the playoffs start (and if we are even in the playoffs) he will be ready to go and still receive limited mins. If he is out the rest of the season and miss the playoffs, ok so be it were a deep team well manage. Offensively it hurts us but defensively there should be no reason to come out and be defensive threats with Chandler and jeff and a committed Melo in the front court. Bulging disc is a very common spinal injury and can be easily treated with exercise, rest, massages and medication.
Same people who just couldn't stand Amare & talked $hit about his broken jumpers, missing defensive assignments, and lack of movement are all of a sudden wetting their pants because Amare is out indefinitely???
Herniated Disc are alot worse than Bulging Disc just saying...
We are stuck with Amare 3 more seasons, and no team is going to touch amare or his contract, we had a chance to trade him early in the season and we didn't so you might as well stay positive about the situation because we have no amnesty either.
This is so ****ed.
It is the most ****ed thing since ****ery began.

Oscars Ratings On The Rise
Preliminary ratings show that the 2009 Oscars are up 6 percent over last year, which pulled in its smallest audience ever with 32 million viewers.
NY, LA and Chicago were the markets with the highest Oscars ratings. The always charming Hugh Jackman hosted the evening's events, impressing the audience with his singing and dancing skills. He was accompanied on stage by Anne Hathaway in the opening number and later in the evening by Beyonce, Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried.

It's a massive OS X botnet, however F-Secure's Mikko Hypponen had some reservations about the numbers claimed by Dr Web because the company did not explain exactly what it was counting: PCs or IP addresses.
One way of calculating the size of a botnet is by counting the number of IP addresses that are connecting to the botnet operator's servers. It's important for counting Mac infections since OS X systems for the most part are used by consumers and are less common in corporate environments. "This means that if your computer's running under an ISP which gives you a DHCP ( Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) every time you go online you get a different IP address," explained Hypponen. (More below)
"One infected computer could show up as five different IP addresses and the non-scientific rule of thumb is that you divide the number of IP addresses in two to get a rough estimate of how many computers that is.".
The opposite is true for corporate networks, which typically connect thousands of PCs to the web through a handful of IP addresses, or the company's firewall or proxy.
"So in some cases you get one IP address which means 10 infected computers, and in some cases you get 10 IP addresses which means one infected computer."
CSO attempted to reach Dr Web malware researcher Sorokin Ivan, who announced that there were 600,000 Flashback infections, but is yet to receive a reply. (Apple has since tried to shut down one of the domains of Dr. Web.)
Hypponen today said he confirmed with Ivan that they did count actual PCs, not IP addresses.
"They are counting actual PCs. Flashback uses a unique hardware-based User-Agent in it's requests."
Why is FlashBack important for Mac users? Because unlike older Mac malware, it does not require any "user interaction" to infect the machine.
"We have one serious gang who is serious about infecting large amounts of Macs, and they are monetising the infected computer and they seem to have the skills to create working fairly-well written malware," Hypponen told CSO.com.au.
The key difference between FlashBack.K as F-Secure defines it -- or BackdoorFlashBack.39 as Dr Web named it -- is it uses "exploits" as opposed to just "fooling you in to typing in the root password" which until now been the main method of infecting Macs.
It's the first mass infection where Mac users are infected the way Windows users have been for a long time: drive-by downloads.
"They surf the web and happen to hit a website, which has a Java drive by download and uses a Java exploit or a Flash or a redirect exploit and it can infect you with you doing anything. You just surf the web and get infected," said Hypponen.
"They (Flashback) weren't using Java exploits until Flashback.K, which is the latest version we know of," said Hypponen.
"Before this they were trying to fool users with fake Flash updates and stuff like that."
And what does Flashback actually do?
In a Twitter reply to security blogger Brian Krebs, Dr Web's Ivan, said the Trojan is not trying to steal passwords, but rather hijacking Google search results, which means Google itself is not affected, but the Trojan manipulates Google search results returned to the infected Mac.
In other words, it could lead the user to a site that could host malware or generate cash for the botnet controllers through referral programs.

"He had a good look in his eye," Valentine said.

Black Pudding Profiteroles
August 2011
This recipe was originally posted in December 2009. It's been fully updated, and new photos are included.
Remember the Chorizo Choux Puffs? When I published the recipe on my Estonian site, then one of the readers, Ilse, suggested using our Christmas favourite, finely chopped black pudding instead of chorizo. I liked the sound of that, so nicked the idea, adding a spoonful of roasted onion flakes for an extra depth of flavour.
The result? Soft and Christmassy choux puffs with character :) We shared these with some friends, who were just as keen on these large profiteroles as we were. Definitely a keeper and a great addition to any Christmas buffét table. You could even dip them into lingonberry jam - that'd be even more Christmassy!
Jõulud kodus ("Christmas at Home"), published in Estonian in November 2011.
NOTE that this recipe would work just as well with Blutwurst, morcilla, sundae, boudin noir, blodpudding, beuling, bloedworst etc.
Black Pudding Profiteroles
(Keedutainapallid e. profitroolid verivorstiga)
Makes about 24 large profiteroles
December 2009
175 ml water
75 g butter
0.5 tsp salt
120 g plain flour/all-purpose flour (200 ml)
3 large eggs
100 g black pudding, finely chopped (and skinned first, if necessary)
1 Tbsp roasted onion flakes (I like using Meira's)
Remove the skin from the black pudding sausages (not necessary, when they're thin-skinned) and chop finely.
Put water, cubed butter and salt into a medium saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Take immediately off the heat and stir in all the flour. Return to the heat and "boil" for about two minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon, until you have a smooth paste that leaves the sides of the saucepan.
Remove from the heat and cool for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the eggs one at a time, wholly incorporating the first egg before adding the next one (this is best done with electric beaters). The resulting paste should be glossy and slowly drop from a spoon.
Stir in the finely chopped black pudding and the dried roasted onion flakes.
With a help of two tablespoons or a cookie scoop, place small heaps of choux paste onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the middle of a pre-heated 180 C/375 F oven for about 30 minutes, until the choux puffs are nicely puffed up and golden brown.

Kat - aitäh!
Eigi - it depends on the black pudding, I guess. I used relatively "dry" ones (Pere Piparkoogivorstid & Saaremaa Advendivorstikesed) - these kept their shape beautifully and didn't "stain" the batter.

- Pille said...
They'll probably soften a little, Katrina, but you can always throw them into a hot oven for a few moments.
Still, I think they'll be fine. Just make sure you'll crumble the black pudding and not grind it - in latter case you'll end up with dull brown-grey profiteroles.

Chicago's 'Resurrection Mary' part of older urban folklore
BREAKOUTS: Chicago Haunts and Ghost Tours (posted after main bar)
The story usually goes something like this: A motorist traveling on a dark, desolate road picks up a mysterious lady who – wouldn't you know it – turns out to be a ghost.
The tale is as old as the hills, folklorists say. But Chicago has its own variation of the story and even a name for the spirit: Resurrection Mary.
Often described as a young lady in a white evening gown, she is usually characterized as a roaming ghost on her way to Resurrection Cemetery – in the southwest suburb of Justice, Ill. -- her final resting place.
Self-styled ghost hunter, author and tour guide Richard Crowe said he has interviewed a dozen eyewitnesses who claim to have given Mary a lift or to have seen her taking a twilight stroll along Archer Avenue, where the Catholic cemetery is located. Crowe said the oldest of the stories came from the late Chicagoan Jerry Palus, who insisted he met a blond woman named Mary in 1939 at a local dance hall and offered her a ride home.
Although the passenger said she lived at 47th and Damen, she asked to be driven south on Archer, Crowe said.
"So he's driving out there with her and she says, 'Pull over,' and they're across from Resurrection Cemetery," he said. "She says 'I must cross the road now, you cannot follow me.' And she jumps out of the car rapidly, runs across the street, and then she vanishes.
"And that's when he said he realized why the woman he was dancing with that night felt ice-cold to the touch," Crowe said. "The only other time he felt anybody like that was working part-time at a funeral parlor."
Crowe said Palus went to the girl's Damen Avenue address and got some startling news from one of her relatives. Mary had died some years before, he learned.
Another local ghost-story expert, Ursula Bielski, said she has heard from about 20 people in the past two decades who say they crossed paths with Resurrection Mary. She said the eyewitness nature of the stories lend them legitimacy, but she doesn't rule out conventional explanations in some cases. Some of the motorists could simply have been nodding off at the wheel and dreamed the girl, she said.
"I think probably there are a lot of things going on with the Resurrection Mary story," Bielski said. "There are probably a lot of ghosts wandering around Archer Avenue. I also think there's a lot of our imagination involved."
Bielski theorizes that Resurrection Mary may be the ghost of a 12-year-old South Side girl who perished in a car accident in 1927 after spending an evening at a dance hall with her father. Others think the spirit can be traced to a woman who was killed in a car accident in the Loop in 1934.
The Resurrection Mary stories may differ in details, but in all of them the central character is a benign, if slightly creepy, ghost with an apparent mission.
"Most ghosts are doing their own thing and we're trespassing on their time and space and not the other way around," Crowe said. "We have this arrogance here that we are the living and therefore the dead should make way for us."
Alas, the spine-tingling yarn may be too good to be true.
Academics say Resurrection Mary is part of a centuries-old tradition of "vanishing hitchhiker" stories that are passed off as real-life experiences. Researcher Jan Harold Brunvand seemingly debunks the tales in his 1981 work "The Vanishing Hitchhiker," a book credited with popularizing the idea of "urban" legends or myths.
His book says the framework of the story was already common by the turn of the 20th century. As automobiles became more prevalent, horses and buggies were replaced with cars. The author cites a number of versions of the story from across the country, and some of them end as the Palus story does -- with a relative breaking the eerie news about the hitchhiker's earlier demise.
A colleague of Brunvand's, folklore professor Janet Langlois of Wayne State University, said the basic story suggests the themes of "mortality and what needs to be resolved and what hasn't been resolved."
Analysis aside, Langlois said she doesn't shrug off every account.
"I don't debunk everything and I don't believe everything," she said. "I do believe that some people who have had these experiences are not lying, are not hallucinating. I'm not sure what they're doing. I'm not sure how I feel about life after death, and I'm in the much more middle position of being uncertain."
Crowe said he believes Resurrection Mary exists. He said the last sighting he knows about was in 2000.
"Just because something is an archetype doesn't mean it doesn't happen once in a while," Crowe said.

Ghost payrollers aren't the only creatures that go boo in Chicago. Here is a sampling of supposedly haunted sites in the Windy City:
• The Red Lion Pub. Multiple ghosts are said to haunt this Lincoln Park tavern and may explain why some patrons have become "trapped" in the restrooms. The pub is across from the legendary Biograph Theater, where bank robber John Dillinger met his end in 1934.
• The John Hancock Tower. Before the skyscraper was built, Chicago occultists warned that its trapezoidal design could serve as a gateway for evil forces, and numerous tragedies have occurred since, ghost hunter Ursula Bielski says.
• Clarence Darrow Memorial Bridge. The legendary defense attorney's ashes were scattered at the Jackson Park Lagoon after his 1938 death. In recent years, witnesses say they have seen an elderly gentleman in period clothes at the bridge, which was erected in Darrow's memory.
• 22nd Place, Chinatown. Folklorist Richard Crowe says this ethic block south of the Loop is haunted and claims to have encountered a woman ghost there on one of his tours.

Prince Charles & Federated Farmers Support Campaign for Wool
Prince Charles and Federated Farmers Express Support for Campaign for Wool
Fill your living environments with wool and do it in style. That was the message from the Campaign for Wool at Shear Brilliance on Monday and one that will continue to be passed on in the future.
The Campaign hosted HRH The Prince of Wales Monday, November 12 at Shear Brilliance – a wool showcase at The Cloud, Queens Wharf, Auckland. At the event, Prince Charles proudly wore his New Zealand wool suit and told exhibitors New Zealand is globally recognised for the quality of its wool.
The message that wool can fill more than just a closet was evident by the wide range of exhibitors and guests. The Campaign hosted dignitaries, VIPs from architectural, interior and related industries at this special exhibition. It was an opportunity to show New Zealand's creativity and innovation with woollen textiles and products.
"From a carpet couch to a wool peg necklace, from grass grown on wool dags to Tiki artwork on Merino, from Zambesi's carpet bag to the loftiness of wool knops," says Stephen Fookes, Chair, Campaign for Wool New Zealand. "The wool industry also has a long and dedicated research capability creating a constant flow of innovations and new opportunities for users. This is useful for the architectural and interior professionals to see. I challenge them to consider the attributes of wool when they are specifying fitouts."
"Natural and renewable, wool is a perfect fit for the more environmentally conscious consumers of today."
This event comes just three days after the significant announcment that Federated Farmers will publically support the Campaign for Wool. As stated in the media release on Friday, Federated Farmers is convinced wool is on the cusp of a renaissance.
"Natural fibres, like wool, are the most sustainable things we can put into our homes and businesses, or on ourselves for that matter. The global wool industry has been on the back foot and as farmers, we realise the need for us to get on the front foot." says Jeanette Maxwell, Federated Farmers Meat & Fibre chairperson.

text: Hi Everyone! I'm Tim, a Program Manager here in the Study Abroad Office. I'm proud to be from a small town in Central PA but now love calling Pittsburgh home. My study abroad experience includes a semester in France during my sophomore year, Spring Break in London during Grad School and Summer in Italy as a Program Assistant. My experiences opened my eyes to the rest of the world and I'd love to help you take advantage of the numerous study abroad opportunities here at Pitt. Outside of the office, I'm always looking for the next adventure whether it's exploring a new city or new neighborhood in PGH. I fully embrace the yinzer way of life and plan my schedule accordingly around every Pens, Bucs and Stillers game. I'd love to talk to you more about any of our study abroad programs and answer any of your questions. Please reach me at email@example.com or 412-648-2156.
