Use our giant map above to find the seagull you seek. Each number in the map corresponds with a paragraph and two screens about said seagull below. Use the three sources (map, images and text) in conjunction with one another to pinpoint the precise location of the seagull you seek.
Seagull #40[edit]
At the northeast section of the Dukes-Broker island, securely in Dukes itself, is a grassy place called Meadows Park. This park is where the first of eleven seagulls on the dual-borough island can be found. A street called Cleves Avenue runs northward through the park, cutting it in half. Head to the far northern end of this road until you reach an exit ramp on your right that ultimately leads to the Broker-Dukes Expressway. To the right of the exit ramp, sitting in its shadow in the grass, is this seagull.
Seagull #41[edit]
At the northwestern end of Dukes, you'll find a horizontally-placed road called Morris Street. There are two streets that intersect with Morris Street called Concord Avenue and Trenton Avenue. Head to either of these intersections and then walk northward, keeping an eye on your left (if going up Trenton Avenue) or your right (if going up Concord Avenue.) The first alleyway you encounter on your left or right in between the houses there is where this seagull can be found and slain.
Seagull #42[edit]
Tucked south of part of Meadows Park is a road called Carrollton Street. This tiny street starts in the west at Seymour Avenue and ends in the east at Saratoga Avenue. Intersecting it down the middle is Cleves Avenue. Head to Carrollton Street in between Seymour Avenue and Cleves Avenue, and face the southern end of the street right towards the middle of the block. This seagull is sitting along a building's stoop on the southern end of the street.
Seagull #43[edit]
This might be the most daunting seagull to kill out of the fifty available. This one is well-hidden in the depths of the tarmac of Francis International Airport, and the far eastern end of the Dukes-Broker island. However, when you breach the tarmac, you get an automatic four-star wanted level, which is a lot to deal with. So you're going to need to scour the tarmac for your mark, all the while dodging over-zealous cops out for blood. It's towards the middle of the northern segment of the airport. This is a good one to reference our map for.
Seagull #44[edit]
Finding this seagull will require you to go on foot. But before you run around Dukes/Broker on foot, drive to the location nearest to the seagull. Due south of Harrison Street, which branches off of the East Borough Bridge, you'll find a small, semi-circular road called Valley Forge Avenue. To the east of this road is a huge, seemingly-abandoned building, with Stone Street hugging the southwest section of the building, Dukes Boulevard on the east, and Hooper Street on the north. Walk around this building until you find an L-shaped corner. You'll find the seagull sitting on a fire escape.
Seagull #45[edit]
This seagull is relatively simple to find. You can find it pretty much smack-dab in the middle of the Broker-Dukes island. Head to Carson Street, a horizontally-placed street that dumps out into Seneca Avenue on its west end. Near the center of Carson Street, a road called Wenrohronon Avenue runs into it perpendicularly. It's at the place where these two roads collide that the seagull can be found. Look for a Stunt Jump ramp and a sign that says STORAGE? next to it, with a phone number underneath. The seagull will be sitting on a metal railing nearby.
Seagull #46[edit]
To find this seagull, head to the Broker-Dukes Expressway heading eastbound. This is the primary conduit by which you can reach the Francis International Airport at the far eastern end of the island. And we're going to act as if we're going to the airport, because you'll want to dump off of the expressway via an exit ramp heading straight towards the airport. If you're heading eastbound towards the airport, this seagull can be found on a railing on the side of the exit ramp.
Seagull #47[edit]
Earlier, we murdered a seagull on Carson Street, and we mentioned a road named Seneca Avenue that branches off of the western end of Carson Street, heading southward. Head to Seneca Avenue and seek out the specific block between Dillon Street and Boone Street. In between these streets, you'll find an alleyway heading eastward. The seagull in question can be found on the ground in this alley.
Seagull #48[edit]
South of the Algonquin-Dukes Expressway, firmly out of Dukes and in Broker, you'll find a small street called Onion Street. Onion Street is essentially the northern end of the more major, and much more familiar Mohawk Avenue. Head to Onion Street and examine the western side of the small street, where an alleyway can be found. Adjacent to this alleyway is a floral shop. The seagull you're looking for can be found atop a black steel pillar in front of the floral shop, adjacent to the alleyway entrance.
Seagull #49[edit]
When you're in Broker, the Broker-Dukes Expressway will dominate the eastern coast of the borough. Near where Masterson Street runs into the southern end of the Expressway, you'll find an inconsequential road called Ringo Street. The eastern end of Ringo Street goes through Mohegan Avenue and then turns downward at a ninety degree angle. Right after the Ringo Street-Mohegan Avenue intersection, look leftward (if you're heading east). There's a brick wall lining that side of the road, and the seagull you seek is sitting atop it.
Seagull #50[edit]
On the far southern end of Broker, you'll find the fiftieth and final seagull in the DLC (if you've been following our information thusfar.) Seek out a vertical road named Wappinger Avenue, which runs directly into a major road, Masterson Street. When you arrive, drive down the road in a southerly direction and keep an eye on the houses on your left. Sitting atop a stair-heavy stoop is the seagull you seek. Cap it and revel in having killed all of the pigeons! Congratulations!

I am always on the lookout for new fun things to eat. I get a lot of ideas from some other very clever bloggers and this sauce idea came from one of my favorites: Heather Eats Almond Butter. I also saw Meghann of The Inner Workings of a College Graduate make this sauce this week and that did it for me. I had to try it. I figured with almond butter it couldn't be bad, right? So I set off making my new favorite sauce. The best part about the ingredients is that they are all naturally gluten-free!!
Here is what I used for a single serving:
1/2 cup Prego 3 Cheese Marinara Sauce (gluten-free)
1 TBSP Trader Joe's raw unsalted almond butter (GF)
1 TBSP Bob's Red Mill Flaxseed Meal
I mixed all the above up in a bowl and then tossed in the microwave for 45 seconds to a minute & then stirred. I tasted the creation and was in heaven!! Seriously, quite possibly the best sauce ever!! I quickly put the rest of my ingredients in a bowl to expedite things so I could sit down to eat!
Into the bowl went:
1/2 cup leftover Trader Joe's brown rice spiral pasta
1/2 cup chickpeas
3/4 cup roasted eggplant
leftover broccoli (1/2 cup or less)
Top with sauce and then goat cheese.
Then, all mixed up:
If you are looking at this shaking your head, please try it. You can use peanut butter or Sunbutter if you don't have almond butter or can't have nuts. It is very rich and is healthy for you, too! You could use this to top all kinds of stuff. I love roasted veggie bowls with a little pasta, some kind of beans and a sauce of some sort. Usually it is plain marinara. From now on, it will be marinutta, as Heather calls it. 😉
Newsworthy Notes:
- Check out my 2 new articles on the Examiner: Crock pot Applesauce and Gluten-free at Hardee's.
- I contacted Gatorade the other day to confirm that the drink powder was gluten-free and I got the confirmation that all of their drinks are gluten-free, including Thirst Quencher, Instant Mix, Endurance Formula, Energy Drink, Nutrition Shake, G2 and Propel.
- I am running further tomorrow than I ever have before. I plan to run 12 miles in the morning. This will be the longest training run before my half-marathon. Wish me luck!!

What have Hamlet, Tony Blair, H.G. Wells, David Frost, the Emperor Nero, Brian Clough, the White Rabbit and Kenneth Williams got in common?
This is an easy one: they've all been played by the flavour of the month actor, Michael Sheen. The Welsh actor has played Tony Blair in three films – The Deal, The Queen and The Special Relationship. He is therefore well qualified to play the mad Hamlet, which opened at The Young Vic in London this week. Having also played the decidedly eccentric Brian Clough and the notoriously crazy Nero clinches it: the play is set in a lunatic asylum.
I have not seen the performance yet but I'm quite surprised at the critics' astonishment that Elsinor has been transformed into an insane institution. Insanity weaves itself through the fabric of the text. The pressure Ophelia experiences from the men that surround her is far too much for any woman to bear and all it would take on the part of a director would be to highlight that. Hamlet, himself, is tortured by the knowledge that his father has been murdered, but more devastating is that his mother has almost immediately married his murderer. Moreover, Hamlet returns from university to attend his father's funeral only to discover that he has been disinherited, his father's murderer having contrived to make himself king.
It's difficult to ruin a Shakespeare play by interpreting it in the light of twenty-first century preoccupations. The only thing that can ruin it is poor acting. The first night critics, in this case, although having reservations about the lunatic asylum slant, have praised the performances of the actors, especially that of Michael Sheen as Hamlet.
Sheen has clearly studied the role carefully. Think about it. There is the situation that I've described. And then there's the problem of what to do about it. Obviously, he has to avenge his father's murder, but that's not in his nature. He's a scholar, a philosopher, and if we could meet him in different circumstances we would find him a very entertaining and funny companion. The burden his father's ghost places on him by demanding revenge is intolerable. He snaps. We know that already but the productions highlights that.
One could make a case for intolerable stress on most of the characters in the play, or if not stress, just a natural craziness. Claudius becomes increasingly obsessive, due to his guilt and his fear of Hamlet, until, at the end, he acts in desperation. Polonius is not by any means normal and his son, Laertes is abnormally reckless in his behaviour. The whole text trembles with psychoses.
Perhaps Shakespeare, or de Vere, as it's fashionable to call him, intended Elsinor to be nothing else than a madhouse. But, of course, we can say that about any of the other convincing interpretations of the text that we have seen over the centuries. And we can also say that in two hundred years from now there will be interpretations of Hamlet in the light of twenty-third century preoccupations undreamt of in our philosophy.

EVENT: 2103 Culinary Ride Photos and Video
Bikes, friendly Iowans, crisp blue sky and pure yellow sun...add in some delicious local food and you get the 3rd Annual Culinary Ride. Held Sunday Sept 28, this event is a fundraiser that is gaining a lot of traction (loose gravel jokes aside).
I enjoyed covering this event for Little Village Magazine (Photo Essay published in Oct 1 issue and I will link it here when it is public) with my friends Jason Smith and Sara Tate of PATV(they were the brave souls hanging out every available Jeep window!). Between my photos and their video I am confident that the spirit of the day was captured and I apologize, but we didn't save you any of Chef Gaby's pulled pork!

PHOTO SHOOT: Drappeggio Bagnata
Let me nutshell this: So several years ago I saw some ancient marble sculptures in Italy. They depicted women; serene and otherworldly, gazing mysteriously through wet, draped fabric. The official tour guide told us sculpting in this manner, creating this believable and magical illusion, indicated the highest mastery level for sculptors. He called it, "Drappeggio Bagnata (Italian for wet drapery). I registered his words drifting around behind me without taking my eyes off the art. That was in 2005. In the meantime, I never, ever forgot how they looked and how I felt about them.
While these images are more modern, in some ways, they still seem like images that would be hard to assign a specific date. Looking ahead, I have an old silk military parachute to utilize for an upcoming addition to the series. Stay tuned!

PHOTO SHOOT: Elise G. collaboration with JoAnn Larpenter-Sinclair
A Beautiful Chameleon
Believe it or not, all of these photos were from the same photo session. Elise is wearing several different looks from beginning to end. These shots were taken for a competition
(a joint project for Bumble and Bumble and W magazine websites).
All hair by JoAnn Larpenter-Sinclair for GSpot Hair Design, Iowa City.
JoAnn also did the makeup on Elise except for the silver swimsuit shots, when I went over the makeup with my own make-up look (which I called "private school rebel").
Clothes were chosen from Revival, White Rabbit and Artifacts shops by JoAnn and I collaborated in choosing how to style them.
Notes from the hair stylist (JoAnn):
Name of Look: Era Apparent
Name of Look: Era Apparent
Inspiration: My goal was to incorporate as many of my favorite eras for big hair into one style, while still having my look be modern and fresh. It's equal parts late-1800's Gibson Girl, 50's rockabilly, 80's prom queen, 60's beach bombshell, with a sprinkle of late-70's Dolly Parton rolled into the mix. The look is current, elegant and feminine with an undone, slept-in edginess.
1. Shampoo and condition with the appropriate products recommended by your hairdresser. Spray Bumble and bumble Tonic allover and comb through.
2. Spray Bb Thickening Hairspray at roots and comb through.
3. Work Bb Thickening Full Form Mousse throughout, and round brush hair until completely dry.
4. Curl Random Sections with a curling iron and Bb Spray De Mode. Cool for 5 minutes to set and separate and rough up the curls with a brush and your with fingers.
5. Pin back hair on sides with Holding Spray, then backbrush rest of hair and arrange the top until you like the shape. Throw a few pins in it to secure, and finish with Bb Thickening Creme Contour and Bb Spray de Mode.

ON LOCATION: Cedar Rapids
Showing my photographer friend around the older parts of Cedar Rapids, looking for compelling places and things, we stumbled on some really interesting stuff. I was surprised at how much Cedar Rapids has changed post-flood, and how much is gone. On the flip side, the New Bohemia area was really vibrant and busy with places to shop and eat, even the bike trail was busy near the river. That area really is a destination.
Barry Phipps (www.barryphippsphotography.com) also showed me how to use my vintage rangefinder (film) camera (Canonet QL-17 GIII) and I learned so much about it (such a quiet, classic little camera).
I took the following photos with my Canon 60D:

Time for some teddy boy rocker pix, amiright? Here you go then....Seth was hilarious and fun to photograph and let me dress him in denim on denim on denim (Jacket from White Rabbit).
This project was for JoAnn with Bumble and bumble. Hair by JoAnn Larpenter-Sinclair at GSpot Hair Design, Iowa City, IA.
Styling notes from JoAnn:
Look-Stray Cat
Inspired by the Teddy boys of the 50's and 90's punk style. Elvis/Stray Cats/James Dean. This look is meant to have a flexible but strong hold, so that you can change it up throughout the day (or week, depending on how often you wash your hair) for maximum versatility. This guy is the bad boy that your parent's warned you about. If they could only see that he's got a heart of gold underneath that mechanic's uniform...
1. Shampoo and condition with the appropriate products recommended by your hairdresser. Towel dry hair and apply Bumble an bumble Tonic Lotion from roots to ends. Use Bb Thickening spray lightly from roots to ends, and then layer that with a generous dollop of Bb Thickening Full Form Mousse ran through all of the hair.
2. Start blow-drying the hair, balancing out growth patterns, and directing the hair where you want it to go until it is 80% dry.
3.Round brush everything that is in front of the curve of the front of the head to acheve maximum volume. For the hair behind that, elevate it and twist is around your fingers to bring out any natural wave and volume in the hair. Dry completely.
4. Finish with a nickel size of Bb Thickening Crème Contour to bring definition to the look and add texture and shine
5.Finish with Bb Classic hairspray to make everything stay put.

Working on this documentary project with the IC Drag Kings and photographing the fascinating process that happens on and off stage, it is could be easy to overlook a major motivating factor: their audience. But it isn't. And I don't. Why? Because the audience is so intriguing. This performance group has a hard-core fan base and is always winning new fans so I thought that it would be compelling to put together a few of the audience captures from their events.

text: Shawn's PTC swirl thread was a fun progression from rough start to finished product. I thought I'd do the same with my project which I started just over 3 years ago... When I consolidated my household with my sweetie, I lost my studio space. I was renting a house and she was buying a house, so we decided that her's was the place for us. The first obstacle was that with both of us being on the high side of 50, we just had too much stuff between us. Even with countless trips to the dump and Goodwill, we managed to transform the garage and full (unfinished) basement from piles of 'stuff' to stuffed with things we didn't throw out or give away. Well, an unfinished basement is a mixed blessing - you can put lots of things down there, but will you ever see them again? So, I took on the job of building in the basement. I started small (and smart, I think) with a powder room. There would be no running up the stairs for nature and getting distracted with TV or some other project while I was working. With the powder room done, I moved on to a storage room, then to a cedar closet under the stairs, a shop, a hallway with nooks for freezers and bookcases. Then it was on to a second hallway, a laundry room, a closet around the water heater with room for more shelving units, a closet around the breaker boxes and an entertainment room with kitchenette. That left the current project, my music studio. Except for plumbing, every room in the basement proceeded along the lines of what I will show you here. The starting place for all was concrete floor, concrete walls with insulation tacked to the upper half and joist ceilings. There was a rough in for the business end of a toilet and one (1) 15 amp circuit of electricity powering bare bulb fixtures and only a couple of outlets. On to the studio which I started less than a month ago. The first thing needed was a cozy floor. We wanted to be able to go into the basement on cold winter mornings barefoot. so, an insulated floor had to be installed. Vapor barrier, pressure-treated 2x4s on their sides 'shot' into the cement with .27 calibre power 5 nails (insert Tim Allen grunt here). Insulation provided by carefully cut closed core foam panels. 3/4 plywood then nailed and screwed to the 2x4s. The above 2 pics are from the entertainment/kitchenette section, but the process was the same for the entire floor. This is how it starts. I'm way past this part now and will be giving you pics in increments. I hope you enjoy the process. I'd also be happy to answer questions about details if you have them.

"Issues"…Nah no "issues"? If this isn't sending us a message or 127 messages that there aren't any "issues"… Let them continue to submit exactly what they were filing before the *New Rule*… don't stop now! Believe me there is more than these!
Pursuant to an Administrative Order of the Chief Judge, dated October 20, 2010, all residential mortgage foreclosure actions require an affirmation from the attorney representing the plaintiff/lender/bank, as stated in the affirmation attached to this order, that he/she has inspected all documents.
The plaintiff is also directed on any future application to provide a copy of this Court's order, the prior application/motion papers and an updated affidavit of regularity/merit from the plaintiff/lender/bank's representative that he/she has reviewed the file in this case and that he/she documents that all paperwork is correct. The plaintiff/lender/bank's representative shall also provide in said affidavit of regularity her/his position, length of service, training, educational background and a listing of the documents and financial records reviewed substantiating the review of the amounts owed. The affidavit should also include that she/he has personally reviewed both the mortgage and the note and any assignments for accuracy.
The plaintiff bears the burden of proof in a summary judgment proceeding and judgment will only be awarded when all doubt is removed as to the existence of any triable issue of fact. Under the present circumstances, where there have been numerous instances alleged as to "robo" signing of documents and a failure to attest to the accuracy of documents in mortgage foreclosure proceedings, the plaintiff must prove its entitlement to foreclose on a mortgage as a matter of law by establishing the regularity and accuracy of the financial documentary evidence submitted and the Court will be scrutinizing all documents for accuracy.
The foregoing constitutes the decision of the Court.

Tobacco can impact your sleep, ability to fight infection and overall health. These issues can create stressful situations. Some tobacco users perceive smoking or chewing as a stress reducer, however, the physiological effects on the body can actually increate current stress. In order to achieve a healthy lifestyle, it is important to learn strategies to deal with stressors and to understand that quitting tobacco use takes time and practice.

Frightened Rabbit – The Winter Of Mixed Drinks
Release Date: Mar 9, 2010
Critic Review
What started as a trio has grown into a quintet. On their third studio album, The Winter Of Mixed Drinks, Scottish indie rock/folk band Frightened Rabbit has expanded their numbers and their sound. They've evolved closer to the rock spectrum from their folky beginnings.
While more sophisticated and electronic, some of the melody the group is known has become lost.

Currently, more than 60 million people have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS worldwide. It is estimated that about two-thirds of all HIV infections are among people in Africa. The African country of Liberia, in particular, is experiencing an increase in HIV/sexually transmitted disease (STD) infections and is in need of improved HIV/STD-related prevention programs. With the majority of the new infections occurring among people who are between 15 and 29 years old, new HIV/STD prevention programs are needed to educate youth about proper condom use and risks associated with sexual behaviors. Previous research has suggested that behavioral interventions can reduce adolescents' sexual behaviors that are tied to risk of acquiring STDs. The evidenced-based HIV prevention program, Making Proud Choices, is an intervention originally designed for community settings in the United States, but is currently being adapted in schools of certain sub-Saharan African countries. Adapting this community-based curriculum to school-based settings and cultural contexts within Liberia may be effective in reducing risky sexual behaviors in Liberian adolescents. This study will compare the effectiveness of a school-based HIV/STD prevention program that draws on the curriculum of Making Proud Choices versus a general health promotion program in reducing sexual risk behaviors of youth attending school in Liberia.
Participation in this study will involve two phases. Phase 1 will last 8 months and will be used to adapt the community-based curriculum of Making Proud Choices to school-based settings and contexts within Liberia. Data to guide the integration and cultural adaptation of the curriculum will be collected from school administrators, students, health educators, and community-based organizations through focus groups, group discussions, and interviews.
Phase 2 will last about 12 months and will include junior high schools in Liberia. Participating schools will be assigned randomly to provide the adapted HIV prevention curriculum or a general health promotion curriculum. Before starting course modules, students receiving either curriculum will complete questionnaires about their risk-associated sexual behaviors and knowledge about condom use and abstinence. Both curriculums will include eight 1-hour modules delivered weekly over 8 weeks. The HIV prevention curriculum will focus on increasing knowledge about preventing HIV, STDs, and pregnancy; improving condom use skills; increasing confidence in the ability to negotiate safer sex and to use condoms correctly; and lowering the incidence of sexual-risk behavior. The general health promotion curriculum will focus on teaching students healthful behaviors, including eating habits, physical activity, dental hygiene, and avoidance of cigarette smoking and substance abuse. All participants will repeat the initial questionnaires immediately after completing the curriculum and 3, 6, and 9 months after the curriculum ends.

Joy Behar Leaving ABC's "The View"
(NEW YORK) -- One of the last remaining original cast members of the ABC talk show The View is calling it quits. After 16 years on the daytime show, Joy Behar says she is leaving.
With the end of her contract approaching, the outspoken liberal has notified ABC she won't be coming back to tell her daily stories on air alongside current panel members Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd. After several changes to the lineup of co-hosts since The View's 1997 premiere, Behar's departure will leave Walters as the show's last original member.
"Joy Behar has been instrumental in the success of The View from the very beginning," ABC said Thursday in a statement. "We wish her all the best in this next chapter, and are thrilled that we have her for the remainder of the season."
Behar will remain on the The View through August, when the show closes its 16th season.

Given a convex surface $S$ in $\mathbb{R}^3,$ you can associate to each point the length of the inward pointing normal contained inside $S.$ Call this quantity $s(x).$ Now, given a positive function $f$ on the sphere $S^2,$ are necessary and sufficient conditions known so that $f$ can be realized as $s$ for some convex realization? There is the obvious uniqueness question, as well. The question can be formulated identically in $\mathbb{R}^n,$ but these sort of questions tend to get harder as $n$ gets larger. On the other hand, it is not obvious what the answer is even for $n=2.$
EDIT There seem to be confusion about what I mean by "the length of inward pointing normal": Take the point $x.$ There is a line $l$ through $x$ normal to $S.$ Since $S$ is convex, $l$ intersects $S$ twice. The distance between the two intersection points is $s(x).$

By no means am I a doctor or pediatrician, I am a husband and father of 3 wonderful kids! I want to share a story from earlier this year about my daughter and what we all went through as a family because it could happen to you and your kids. This happened over night it seemed like, corn allergies in children. It was that quick!
Last summer, kids were out of school and everything was good. One day my daughter panicked, she said she couldn't swallow and from there it started. We took our daughter to the ER where they said that nothing was wrong, it was just a panic attack. But my daughter wouldn't stop talking about it, she kept saying that her throat felt closed.
We then took her to an allergist and what came back amazed me. My daughter was allergic to CORN! Of all things…CORN! Now I am allergic to mosquito bites, no big thing, but this is a FOOD ALLERGY. This can mean LIFE OR DEATH. My wife and I were devastated. How can our daughter be allergic to corn when no one else in the family is? There isn't even anyone else in our immediate family that has a food allergy! But this article isn't about why she has it. I want to inform you guys in case this happens to you because it can be very scary.
First off, I would like to make a list to show you what you CAN'T have if you are allergic to corn. This IS NOT everything, this is probably the most common ingredients. First off you know you can't eat corn if you have a corn allergy. DUH! But did you know that almost every food you can buy in a store has some sort of corn product in it? That is what got me and my wife so upset. It is so hard to find food that doesn't have corn in it. Now we are lucky, my wife loves to cook and she took charge of this and has made some GREAT food for us without corn products. But, back to the list of stuff you CAN'T eat if you are allergic to corn.
SO because of CORN she cant have any of these:
- Corn
- High fructose corn syrup
- Corn sweetener
- Corn meal
- Corn syrup solids
- Baking powder
- Hominy
- Corn flour
- Maize
- Masa
- Corn starch
- Corn alcohol
- Grits
- Dextrin
- Maltodextrins
- Food starch
- Vegetable gum
- Modified gum starch
- Vegetable starch
- Sorbitol
- Vinegar (Distilled Vinegar, but they can have Apple Vinegar)
- Corn Oil
This is NOT everything, the list goes on and on.
Now companies are making products now that don't have so many corn products in them and this is great! Some foods that my daughter can eat and actually like are: Nutella, Organic Peanut Butter, Organic Apple Sauce, Fruits and Vegetables (Real fruits and veggies, not from cans) and Vegenaise (A kind of mayonnaise and it's not that bad.). Just to name a few. From reading what my daughter likes now, you may have noticed the word ORGANIC. First off, this means MORE EXPENSIVE to us moms and dads. But it is truly better for us to eat and in lots of cases it really does help out your local farmers! We all need to eat better and eating organic foods is one way to do it!
We also thought that she was allgeric to gluten, but she wasn't and that was a relief. If you have a child that is, look at this book, A Complete Guide To Raising Kids In The Gluten-free World. That is a great resource on what you can and can't feed your kids. A must read if you have a child that can't get gluten.
The reason why my daughter can have more organic foods is because organic foods don't have all the preservatives in them. There are A LOT of things made from corn that are in everything! I truly think you would be surprised, I know we were.
Please comment on this article and tell me what you think. If you have more information, please add it in the comments. As parents, we need ALL the information that we can get to keep our children happy and healthy. If you have questions from a parent that has been through this, please comment and I will get back with you. All parents need to stick together and help each other out, that's what Daddyplace is all about!

Classic Cookbooks: Spoonbread Recipe
While your other correspondents were dolled up and hobnobbing at the Beard Awards Sunday night, I was just a few blocks and a world away, wearing an old Mexican dress and perusing The James Beard Cookbook. I thought I should try one of his hors d'oeuvres, since I was reading about all the party food and his first book was about canapés; when he was a young and struggling actor, he would cater parties to make ends meet, in which enterprise he met much more success than he ever did on the stage. I was delighted to find his recipe for chili con queso—where did an Oregon-raised New Yorker come up with that? Unfortunately his recipe is based on a white sauce. Has anyone ever made this recipe, or is anyone willing to try and report back? I want to hear about it but am afraid they'd take away my native-Texan card if I made queso with white sauce.
I decided instead to make spoonbread, which far exceeded my expectations. While I was awaiting something porridgey like grits, or something airy like soufflé (since the recipe is also called cornbread soufflé), this resembled a substantial, sliceable custard. It had all the sweet, buttery, corny taste of cornbread, but even my favorite cornbread recipe has nothing on this spoonbread when it comes to moistness and texture. With no sugar at all and only one egg and one tablespoon of butter per serving (not so bad), it was still wonderfully rich, like dessert posing as part of dinner. I served it with bacony collard greens and was in heaven.
- Yield:4 generously or 6 to 8 as a small side
- 2 cups of milk (I used 2%)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Freshly ground pepper (optional)
- 4 eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt
- Pepper
- 2 finely chopped cloves garlic
- 1 28-ounce can plum tomatoes
- 2 4-ounce cans chopped green chilies
- 1 pound shredded jack cheese
Bring the milk and salt to a boil, then reduce the heat. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth. It will also be very, very thick, almost like wet concrete. Stir in the butter and set aside to cool slightly. (I added 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper at this point.)
Beat the egg yolks well and stir into the cooled cornmeal mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry and slowly fold into the cornmeal mixture in two batches. Pour the batter into a well-buttered casserole (I used a 2-quart soufflé dish) and bake at 375°F for 35 to 40 minutes, or until light, puffy, and browned on top.
Serve from the casserole with a spoon. He recommends passing plenty of butter, salt, and pepper on the side, but I found that no extra butter or seasoning was necessary. Spoonbread is edible the second day but much better straight out of the oven.
Chili con Queso
No yield was provided for this recipe. Seriously, I am dying to hear about it—will someone please make this?
Melt the butter and stir in the flour, blending completely. Remove the pan from the heat and slowly whisk in the cream and then the milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth. Return to the heat and cook slowly, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened and smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. This is the cream sauce.
Combine the garlic and tomatoes and cook down over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the canned chilies and continue to cook until thickened. Stir in the cream sauce and cheese. Taste for seasoning. Do not allow to boil after the cheese has been added. Serve warm as a dip for breadsticks, corn chips, or raw vegetables.

Sole interest: Greenwich author shares her fantasy shoes in new book
Author shares her fantasy shoes
Part detective, part treasure hunter, part talent scout and part display designer, Jane Gershon Weitzman has worn many hats over the years in her efforts to celebrate shoes -- particularly those that are impossible to wear.
"We just kept saying to the artists, `Do something great ... take it to the next level,' " said Weitzman of the more than 1,000 fantasy art shoes that were created for eye-catching displays in the windows of her husband, shoe designer Stuart Weitzman's flagship boutique on New York City's Madison Avenue, during the 1990s and 2000s.
Constructed in everything from paper-mache to copper wire, stained glass to furry material, and playing cards to fresh flowers, they drew the eyes of passersby, who quickly made the store a destination.
"The artists loved it. It was like having a gallery show on Madison Avenue," said Weitzman, who would eventually replicate that success in some of the company's other boutiques around the world.
By the time the project ended, after some 12 years, the Weitzmans, who have lived in Greenwich for more than 30 years, had gathered a large collection of shoes, which were put into storage. "People started to ask, `What happened to those fabulous shoes?,' " Weitzman said.
Late last year, she gave them her answer, with the release of the 200-page book "Art & Sole" (Harper Collins, $25). It features the work of more than 30 artists who created the unique footwear. Page after page of creations, photographed by Lucas Zarebinksi, show the breadth of material and creativity that went into each piece.
For Weitzman, who found and commissioned many of the artists, it was often an adventure to track down artists who had caught her eye. Those searches could take her into a gallery on a bustling street miles and miles from home, or it could keep her up at night mining the Internet for clues as to how to connect with an artist halfway around the world.
For some of the artists, the medium of a shoe was not an unknown; for others, it was a clean slate. "There was something in their work that I saw that made me think they would do a great shoe," she said.
Westport artist Nina Bentley was in the former category, having made quite a few "art" shoes by the time her work appeared in the Madison Avenue windows. Two of her shoes, "Garden of Eden" and "A Woman's Platform," are featured in the book. (Several works by the late Irene Reed, who lived in Connecticut, also are included.)
"Most of my shoes are pointed," Bentley said, without speaking about the actual construction. "They have a message or point of view."
Even before an artist takes a button, flower, feather or wheel to a heel, shoes -- the kind that actually can be worn -- often evidence an aesthetic and an attention to craftsmanship that make them works of art. There are multiple styles and designs, ranging from pedestrian sandals to highly embellished pumps. A shoe can befit one's social status, or serve as a memory of a particular time or look. Closets are full of shoes for different occasions, and they need not always be comfortable.
"They are a vessel," said Bentley, as to why they seem to inspire such creative flights of fancy. "They are a space that you can fill, so they are almost like a canvas."
Weitzman said the book is the best of what arrived on her doorstep. Still, there is one that has eluded her, and a rather iconic one at that, a glass slipper -- but it was not for lack of trying, she said.
When she started out with this endeavor, she said she never realized it would grow into what it became. "I never thought there would be a book."
But it is the book that is keeping her busy.
"It's been great. I've been speaking all over the country," she said. "I'm booked up until next fall and I'm getting requests for spring. The interest doesn't seem to be ending."

Look at Me, Me, Me!
September 13–December 29, 2013
Press Release (pdf)
The sad classic tale of the youth Narcissus, who pined away, staring at the beauty of his own reflection in a lily pond, lives on through Western art. Pop artist Andy Warhol predicted in 1968 a time when everyone would be famous for 15 minutes. It's 2013 and we live in a culture where we advertise our lives through tweets and Facebook while recording every move we make with our iPhone cameras and watching "reality" shows on our Netflix accounts during our personal "alone-time."
The Narcissus tale attests to the fact that people in earlier times were not free of their own variations on these "modern" afflictions. Indeed, classical myths warned of the detrimental consequences of such vices as self-love, vanity, and pride. This installation of works from the SCMA's permanent collection highlights the many interpretations of this theme. Narcissists be warned. From moralizing Netherlandish Renaissance prints to modern masters like Munch and Goya to contemporary artists like Greenfield, Lichtenstein, and Warhol, this exhibition is all about you.

An early stage of California's plan to build a network of high speed trains faces engineering challenges that will make it the "project of the century," UC Berkeley civil engineering professor Bill Ibbs says.
The proposed 140-mile route from Bakersfield will send the bullet train through two mountain ranges, over canyons, across a desert, and into Los Angeles, according to the LA Times.
The route, part of a larger plan to connect the northern and southern regions of California, is estimated to cost $20.2 billion. The high price tag is understandable, given that the Bakersfield-LA stretch includes the Tehachapi and San Gabriel Mountains.
The plan is to build the tracks on a combination of tunnels as deep as 500 feet, and on viaducts over canyons as much as 300 feet above the ground. On top of that, the route crosses a dozen earthquake faults.
While Ralph Vartabedian, the journalist who wrote the LA Times article, notes the project is possible, he still provoked an annoyed response from Robert Cruickshank at the California High Speed Rail Blog, who wrote:
Of course, Vartabedian could have mentioned that high speed trains have been operating in the very seismically active country of Japan for nearly 50 years without being negatively impacted by earthquakes.
The engineering challenges are formidable but not insurmountable: Southern Pacific Railroad built a rail line through the Tehachapi Mountains in the 1870s; it is now reserved for freight trains.
The new bullet train will travel at 220 mph and use 2.7 million kilowatts of electricity daily, according to the AP. That's the equivalent of one fourth the output of Hoover Dam.

I did find out that you can go to customer service & order as many as you can pay for & even use coupons! Merry Christmas to me! I wanted to leap over that counter & hug her. I.love.her! She used to get irritated with me because...picture this.....I would walk up with about 50 coupons in my hand & 50 items in my cart. I will use a 50% off coupon on a candy bar just because I can. Plus I will hand them my teacher discount card for an additional 15% off. They are probably reviewing this coupon policy just because of me. Did you know that you can get up to 4 flyers per household??? I get four. One that comes for my husband, one for me, one for Bentley (dog), & one for Java (dog).

I've made the following Candy Land games. If you missed a previous Candy Land post read it here.
Fry's phrases contain the 300 most commonly used words in elementary reading and writing. Do you think your students need practice with this? Um, yes they do.
I don't know about you, but my kiddos sure struggle with Grammar. I have showed PP presentations, we have played interactive Smartboard games, centers, file folder games & they still struggle. I made these games to help them out. In order to move to the designated spot on the Candy Land board they have to read the word. Repetition seems to always work with them. Developmentally I think they are too young to understand these difficult concepts but with the new Core curriculum & even the old state standards, we are required to teach it & they are required to master the skills.
ALL 30 of my Candy Land games go along with the K, 1st , 2nd grade & even a few in 3rd grade Core curriculum. These games are played weekly in Word Work during Daily 5. My kiddos absolutely LOVE these games & play a different skill weekly. This is by far their favorite word work activity that I have EVER put in this station!
The next series of games will go along with the Scott Foresman Reading Street 1st grade series. I will include the spelling & HFW's in each game. There are approximately 80 words in each unit. If you use a different series like Houghton & are interested please shoot me an email with the word lists. If I know there is interest I will take the time to make them for you. firstname.lastname@example.com
Here is what I do with these FREE labels to keep myself & the kiddos organized.
If you read this far, thank you! Here are some Grinchy mini candy bar wrappers that I give to my students & coworkers. Click here to download them for FREE! Follow me while you're there. I post a ton of freebies that you won't want to miss!
