Erich von Manstein
Erich von Manstein (November 24, 1887–June 9, 1973) served the German military as a lifelong professional soldier. He became one of the most prominent commanders of Nazi Germany's armed forces (Wehrmacht). During World War II he attained the rank of Field Marshal (Generalfeldmarschall) and was held in high esteem by his fellow officers as one of the Wehrmacht's best military minds. He was dismissed from service by Adolf Hitler in March 1944, due to his frequent clashes with Hitler over military strategy. In 1949, he was brought on trial in Hamburg for war crimes, which convicted him of "Neglecting to protect civilian lives" and for using scorched earth tactics denying vital food supplies to the local population. He was sentenced to 18 years in prison, which was later reduced to 12. After release from British prison in 1953, he became a military advisor for the West German Government. Manstein suffered a stroke and died in Munich on the night of 9 June 1973. He was buried with full military honors.
- If Paulus's army had capitulated before the end, the Russians would have had the advantage of withdrawing forces against Paulus and against the southern front, where I had only two Romanian armies. Therefore, the resistance of the Sixth German Army, even to the death of the last man, was necessary.
- To Leon Goldensohn (14 June 1946). Quoted in "The Nuremberg Interviews" - by Leon Goldensohn, Robert Gellately - History - 2004
- I tried at that time to relieve the Sixth Army, of which I was supreme commander, above Paulus, by counterattacks - but it was not possible. I gave the order finally for the Sixth Army to break out, but then Paulus said it was too late and not possible. Hitler did not want the Sixth Army to break out at any time, but to fight to the last man. I believe that Hitler said if the Sixth Army tried to break out, it would be their death.
- To Leon Goldensohn (14 June 1946). Quoted in "The Nuremberg Interviews" - by Leon Goldensohn, Robert Gellately - History - 2004
- A war is not lost until you consider it lost.
About Manstein
- He was not only the most brilliant strategist of all our generals, but he had a good political sense. A man of that quality was too difficult for Hitler to swallow for long. At conferences Manstein often differed from Hitler, in front of others, and would go so far as to declare that some of the ideas which Hitler put forward were nonsense.
- The general verdict among the German generals I interrogated in 1945 was that Field-Marshal von Manstein had proved the ablest commander in their Army, and the man they had most desired to become its Commander-in-Chief. It is very clear that he had a superb sense of operational possibilities and equal mastery in the conduct of operations, together with a greater grasp of the potentialities of mechanized forces than any other commander who had not been trained in the tank arm. In sum, he had military genius.
- He is the best tactician and combat commander we have.
- Master of the Blitzkrieg.
- Manstein despised Göring and loathed Himmler. To his most trusted colleagues he admitted to Jewish antecedents. He could also be scathing about Hitler. As a joke, his dachshund Knirps had been trained to raise his paw in salute on the command "Heil Hitler". On the other hand, his wife was a great admirer of Hitler, and more importantly, Manstein, as already mentioned, had even issued that order to his troops mentioning "the necessity of hard measures against Jewry"
- Anthony Beevor in Stalingrad (1998)
- He had utter disdain for the Nazis and had no time for their racial purity agenda.

Kyle Conway
Name: Kyle Conway
Majors: Theater and Management
Graduation Year: 2005
Hometown: Urbandale, Iowa
What made you decide to major in theater?
I was cast as the Truffaldino in "The Servant of Two Masters" my first semester at CSB/SJU and decided I had to see where this theater thing led.
What area of theater did you focus on?
I originally tried to focus on acting . . . but theater is much broader than that. I ended up doing a wide variety of things including managerial functions through the Drama Club and touring students around the BAC (the building that the theater department is housed in). I wrote plays, performed, directed one-acts, built sets, painted, helped with set dressing, etc. Theater is a culmination. There is nothing you can learn that would not aid you in this field.
How did you choose CSB/SJU for your studies?
Luck. CSB/SJU alumnae/i alerted my father to the school, and I applied. The real selling point was the ability to study abroad in Galway at the Park Lodge Hotel (where my parents spent their honeymoon). I couldn't pass that up.
What did you like best about the theater program at CSB/SJU?
- The variety.
- The opportunity.
- The facilities.
- The dedication of the faculty.
- The dedication of the students.
- The dedication and support of the community (both Benedictine and beyond).
CSB/SJU theater receives excellent support (financial and otherwise) and the students are able to receive a large range of opportunities and skills through the department. There is not "one best thing"...the entire program is a gem.
What was the biggest struggle you've encountered in the program?
In fall 2001, Conway was in "Servant of Two Masters."
What kind of relationship did you have with your professors?
Close. I still call them or send them an e-mail if I have a question I think they could answer. I've been gone for two years, and I still feel connected to the professors. While I was at CSB/SJU, I was always in their offices chatting about theater and learning what things they were working on or hoping to work on in the future. They also helped me find my way into graduate school for theater and pushed me to excel while I was still on campus. The professors, also, were completely collaborative. This blessing can make or break a department. CSB/SJU's department was perfect.
How is the interaction between students in the CSB/SJU theater program?
Most likely it is ever-changing with a constantly changing student population. However, when I was there the interaction was varied. Students had their own primary interests (acting/directing/designing), but these interests wisely and intentionally collided in the program so that students would not only experience but also perform tasks in all of these areas. This created a group of collaborative students instead of defined parameters of actors, directors, designers, etc.
Was there an experience that you had at CSB/SJU that really stands out in your mind as outstanding?
It was ALL truly great. One experience was working in the shop to make a wine rack. I'd never really worked with wood before (especially wood not intended for the stage), and I made a wine rack which is still displaying bottles of wine today in my home.
Were you involved in any clubs or sports on campus?
In fall 2004, Conway performed in "The Ghost Sonata," by August Stringberg.
designing and also opened itself up to non-majors who didn't want the large responsibility of being in a departmental production.
What advice do you have for prospective high school students?
Join a club, join a department, PARTICIPATE. Yeah, it's scary...but just do it. The more quickly you become involved, the more quickly you make new friends, get new ideas, and appreciate the wonderful school that is CSB/SJU.
What advice do you have for students that are just entering the theater program at CSB/SJU?
Again, get involved. Also, do not not do something because it isn't offered. I wrote a long one-act play during my senior year through an independent study. I also started the Drama Club to give people an opportunity to write plays and have them produced. Playwriting wasn't offered when I was at CSB/SJU, but with the help of the professors and the students, we were able to make playwriting a reality.
What are you doing now?
I'm in a masters program at Texas Tech University for theater, looking forward to being in a doctoral program so that I can teach theater the rest of my life. I've been a TA for a class this past year. Hopefully next year I'll be teaching my own undergraduate course. I'll also be taking classes and working on my thesis.
This summer, I'm presenting a paper at the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE) on the American Theatre and Drama Society (ATDS) Emerging Scholars Panel about live performance art on the internet.
Outside of that, I play guitar and piano (and compose for both). I write plays. I've been learning costume construction. I've also been learning graphic design for theatrical posters. Again, it all fits back into theater.

MILPITAS, Calif., October 6, 2014 – SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash storage solutions, today announced that President Obama has further distinguished Dr. Eli Harari, founder and retired chairman & CEO of SanDisk, with the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. This award is the United States' highest honor recognizing achievement and leadership in advancing the fields of science and technology.
"These scholars and innovators have expanded our understanding of the world, made invaluable contributions to their fields, and helped improve countless lives," President Obama said in Washington Friday in announcing the recipients. "Our nation has been enriched by their achievements and by all the scientists and technologists across America dedicated to discovery, inquiry, and invention."
Dr. Harari's vision for SanDisk and flash memory began more than 26 years ago. Throughout the years flash memory innovations have transformed and enabled new markets and devices from digital photography to USB drives to smart phones, tablets, and thin-and-light notebooks. Today, SanDisk is bringing flash memory to enterprise storage and transforming the data center by helping enterprises achieve high performance, low-latency data access and scalability. Flash memory is on track to become the most widely used memory technology in the world over the next decade.
"We're now connected in ways that would not be possible without the technologies that Eli helped pioneer and we're well positioned to take on new market segments such as enterprise data centers," said Sanjay Mehrotra, co-founder, president and chief executive officer of SanDisk. "Eli has had a profound impact on the entire technology landscape, and in doing so, has truly changed the world as we experience it today. His lifelong intellectual and technical achievements are well-deserving of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation."
The history of how flash storage was invented, developed, and made available on a global scale is largely the history of SanDisk Corporation — an American success story that like many others began with one person and a vision. However, what distinguished this into a remarkable story is how Dr. Harari continuously played multifaceted roles over a span of 23 years as inventor, entrepreneur, leader, public company CEO, and industry visionary. From a Silicon Valley start-up in 1988, SanDisk now employs more than 8,000 people worldwide, has over 5,000 patents and $6.5 billion in annual sales.
The National Medal of Technology and Innovation was created by statute in 1980 and is administered for the White House by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Patent and Trademark Office. The award recognizes pioneers who have made lasting contributions to America's competitiveness, quality of life, and have helped strengthen the nation's technological workforce.
SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company, is a global leader in flash storage solutions. For more than 26 years, SanDisk has expanded the possibilities of storage, providing trusted and innovative products that have transformed the electronics industry. Today, SanDisk's quality, state-of-the-art solutions are at the heart of many of the world's largest data centers, and embedded in advanced smartphones, tablets and PCs.

Plastic Brain
As some readers know from previous posts, after years of informal study and practice, I took 3 years of undergraduate classes at my university. The beginning, intermediate, and advanced language courses met 4-5 times/week during each academic year, and, as a result of these classes and the dedication of an excellent instructor, I finally progressed beyond a tourist-speak level of ability in this language. I also had some interesting experiences being an "undergraduate" again (example 1, example 2, example 3; others can be found by searching on the word 'language').
I took all the courses there were to take, so this year I have been meeting one-on-one with a language tutor, a young woman who is a non-science graduate student at my university. We meet twice a week for an hour or so of random conversation about life, the news, movies, books, anything. Although my tutor had no previous experience as a tutor, I was extraordinarily lucky to find such a kind, patient, and interesting person. I enjoy our meetings very much.
When I was taking classes, there were obvious milestones that helped me gauge my progress. We did oral presentations (typically twice in a term), and moved through a textbook series that systematically expanded our vocabulary and knowledge of grammar.
I was reasonably happy with my progress, although quite dissatisfied with my speaking skills. I was also very aware that it was getting more and more difficult for me to learn new words. It was considerably annoying to have to look up the same word over and over and find that it just wasn't sticking in my brain. In my youth, I had an excellent memory, but at some point I no longer did.
Now that my language learning involves mostly conversation, supplemented by some reading (newspapers, novels) and movie watching, I didn't know whether I was progressing or not -- I feared that I was getting stuck in some speaking-ruts, using the same simple words and grammar forms over and over. In my more pessimistic moments, I wondered if my ability to speak this language had plateaued, a victim of my aging brain and lack of time or opportunity to immerse myself in this language.
Recently, however, I had a few experiences that gave me some sense that I had made progress. For example, during a visit to another university to give a talk, I encountered a scientist from a country where this language is spoken, and we talked for more than an hour in this language. I couldn't have done that last year. I could have carried on some form of rudimentary conversation for an hour, but I couldn't really have conversed.
So, now I think that language learning is always going to be slower than I want it to be, but, even given the challenges of my aging brain and limited time, I think I can continue to make progress. I have not plateaued.
This gives me hope in general for my ability to learn new things. As a researcher, I hope that I can still explore new fields of knowledge, learn new techniques, and make connections between ideas. My detectable (albeit) slow progress with language learning is evidence that my brain isn't full (or emptying..) quite yet and that I haven't already learned everything I will ever learn.
I was thinking about this the other day, not only because I finally had a ray of hope about my progress with speaking skills in the language I have been trying to learn, but also because I was wondering what proportion of my time I spend transferring knowledge I already have (i.e., sharing my accumulated wisdom via teaching or advising) vs. having creative new thoughts about Science.
It's hard to calculate because, although I spend a substantial and perhaps steady amount of time on the former (knowledge transfer), the latter (acquisition of new knowledge, ideas) mostly comes in pulses, precipitated in part by a encountering a looming proposal deadline, reaching a particular stage with a paper, or needing to brainstorm with a student or colleague about some aspect of a project.
That's fine with me. As long as there is a not-infrequent component of my job involving creative thought, there will be a good balance between knowledge-out and knowledge-in, and my aging brain and I can continue to learn, discover, and have fun.

This will all probably help you ward of dementia as you age if those studies are true. :-)

Ugh I'm a grad student and I already feel like my brain has aged. I forgot everything I learned in undergrad and now things just can't stick in my brain.
Thanks you ADD and my prematurely geriatric brain.
- estraven said...
I manage to keep up my four foreign languages by reading a lot in the original, but my pronunciation (even in English, which is the one I know better) still sucks. Maybe I should find time for one-to-one learning like you do.
On the other hand, I am definitely learning new science - only much slower than I used to, and from people younger than me.
- Pagan Topologist said...
There are some new software products on the market for language acquisition. I think one is called Rosetta Stone, which is a delightful name. Have you tried any of them? I have been wanting to learn Spanish, as well as to keep my Polish skills current, but I have hesitated to spend the money for the packages.
interesting, I too find I am only creative in spurts, often associated with a looming deadline, and I wondered if that's a normal mode of operation for a scientist. I'm in my late 30s.
- EliRabett said...
Sabbatical in a country where the new language is spoken.
Also, you can find web sites with the nightly news in that language, movies, etc.
- female Science Professor said...
Sabbatical decisions also involve my spouse, removing the possibility of sabbatical-related language immersion in this particular language.
I am well aware of the language web resources and use them daily.
- Doctor Pion said...
A grad student I knew back in the day said that he knew that he had really "gotten" English when he could appreciate all of the jokes in Johnny Carson's monologue on the Tonight Show. He had to know current events as well as the nuances of language that are part of humor, and be thinking rather than translating what he heard.
There must be an equivalent in your language, and you must be close to that point if you can converse for an hour with a native speaker. Maybe your next challenge would be to teach Intro Science in that language? Teaching requires attention to many of the same nuances as humor does.
- balanced instability said...
I think it is super that you were able to learn a new language. Good for you for fighting to maintain your plasticity!
I am willing to believe someone has hacked FSP's blog or that FSP suffers from multiple personality disorder. Where is the foreigner bashing? Where is the male bashing? Something must have happened over Spring Break!!!
Perhaps now you will have a little more respect for the disgusting foreigners who happen to speak more languages than you do. My current list: Bengali (native), Hindi, English, German and French, the last 2 of which were acquired after the age of 20.
- Kevin said...
I gave up on language learning a few years back, when I realized that the 3rd language I had learned was essentially completely gone (despite 2 years of it as an undergrad) and the third language was also gone (despite a year as a grad student and repeating that first year 6 years later as a professor). So I'm stuck with two languages, one of them barely adequate to read a newspaper.
I am convinced I can still learn new things, though, as I have been continuing to create new classes. (This year I have two brand new classes, one of which is so cutting edge that we'll be spending a big chunk of the quarter just figuring out whether the goal of the class is feasible.)
Teaching science may not be the best test of fluency in a language, though. I was able to follow science lectures in my second language much more easily than day-to-day conversations---the language of science lectures is much more structured and the concepts much easier to handle than the rather slippery social conventions and slang of ordinary conversation.
I still can only count to 6 in that language, FSP! I'm happy your brain is working well, because mine is aging fast, particularly this week!
Your admiring colleague
I have no idea why some readers think FSP is bashing foreigners or finds them disgusting. She may have reported a couple of anectodes involving, as it turns out, foreign people, like she has about many non-foreign people. The grand dame of blogging has too much class for petty bashing!
Foreigner bashing? Are you confusing FSP with another blog? Reporting anecdotes about sexist behavior encountered in another country is not foreigner bashing, nor evidence that anyone thinks foreigners are "disgusting". What a bizarre interpretation.
- female Science Professor said...
Thanks for the support. I don't understand the comments about foreigner bashing either, as this doesn't match how I feel about my numerous friends, colleagues, and students from other countries. One of the great things about my job is the opportunities for interaction with people from all over the world. Some of my best friends are foreigners.. and I have spent quite a lot of time (years) happily living and traveling in other countries. Part of my childhood was spent in a remote part of Africa, and I have lived in various other continents/countries at other times in my life. I have certainly encountered sexism abroad, but my describing those incidents is not evidence for xenophobia.
- hkukbilingualidiot said...
I hold multiple languages, 6 to be exact. Four of them I'm fluent in, though one is kind of on a slippery slope between native? foreigner? level...if you know what I mean. Two of them I can get by with if I got stuck in the countries that use those languages. However, a price for multiple linguistics and fluency plus pitch-perfect pronunciations is confused grammar, that you are unaware of (one which is perfect for language A but most certainly not for language B), strange accents, which you only notice AFTER you've said it, and numerous comedic situations that is often associated with foreigners.
Though I know of a few people similar to me in this stance it is still not that common.
I do have one anecdote. A French-native friend of mine once said a whole English sentence with a French accent while the only french word in that sentence spoken in an English accent. Though he can speak perfect English without accents at all...well obviously only on a good day.
I do agree that when you've reached complete fluency your brain should have already been adapted to thinking in that language which my brain does for the languages that I'm fluent in. As a result I absolutely HATE sitting in a room with two or more of the languages that I speak. It's not a pretty sight when more than two languages are jumbled into one sentence or speaking in another one as opposed to the one you just started talking in.
When you've reached that stage you would know you've mastered the language. Then it's just a case of training your brain to switch itself backwards and forwards between the different modes in record speeds or just let the comedy/confusion play.
- female Science Professor said...
Just to be clear: This is the 4th non-English language I have studied, but the only one I have attempted as a middle aged person. My point isn't so much how many languages we all speak or understand (though I do admire people who speak more than one), but rather what it is like to learn languages at different stages of our lives.
FSP... it appears your brain has actually aged, while mine hasn't. If you go back to your post reporting sexist anecdotes, you will notice that you did not just mention anecdotes, but also said that you were certain that the whole culture of that nation is sexist.
You come up with sexist anecdotes and paranoia every second post, if I were to call that 1 post foreigner bashing, every second post on your blog would qualify as America bashing. That is the way people who want student lounges reason, not me.
"That is the way people who want student lounges reason, not me."
It's true, the Federation for Access to Lounges for Students the dreaded (F.A.L.S.) is a violently radical organization, responsible for countless war crimes and spreading their message of hate all across the world. However, unfair to characterize all advocates for lounges in their department as equally radical.
Wait, I mean... "whaaaaaat?"
Also, link or it didn't happen. Oh wait, we all know it didn't happen and you're grasping at straws. Please play again.

For my final clutch this week (see the others HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE), I chose this black fabric with silver running through it. By label, it is a "brocade" fabric. By look, though, it says rocker to me (especially when paired with black jeans, heels, a tank and chunky silver jewelry).
I didn't add piping to this one because I think the fabric speaks enough on its own.
And the red snap and black sateen lining add their two cents while not overpowering the main fabric.
I can't wait for my friends' bachelorette party where this clutch will be making its debut in high style!
Now that you've seen Ruby's clutch sewn up in five different styles, which one is your favorite? Hop over to my giveway page for your chance to win a copy of Ruby's pattern, or your pick of one of my clutches!

The Au Gres City Council agreed to research the possibility of adding fluoride added to the city's water supply during its regular meeting Feb. 5.
Dental hygienist Lisa Wiltse brought up the idea during the council's public comments period, and said the American Dental Association has an annual grant that provides up to $24,000 to install the equipment needed to add fluoride to a municipality's drinking water.
"There is plenty of information from studies done by the American Dental Association stating fluoride is a good thing that reduces the cost and amount of dental work," Wiltse said. "I know where I grew up, they didn't add fluoride, and now I've got a mouth full of dental work because of it."
She said the addition of fluoride would be beneficial to people of all ages, but primarily children, as the fluoride helps strengthen their teeth as they come in. It particularly has an impact on lower socio-economic groups, she said, who are not able to get dental care as often as recommended.
The proposal is personal for Wiltse as well, as she resides in Au Gres and has twins who needed to go on fluoride drops to get what they are lacking from the water supply.
According to Wiltse, fluoride is also a naturally occurring substance in the environment and in water supplies across the world, but is not usually present in great enough amounts to have an impact on tooth decay.
According to the American Dental Association, drinking water with an optimal amount of fluoride is known to reduce cavities and tooth decay by anywhere from 20-40 percent. The Centers for Disease Control considers it one of the greatest public health accomplishments of the 20th century, and an estimated 72 percent of the U.S. population served by public water systems gets fluoridated water.
The deadline for a grant application was last week, and Wiltse said if the council gave their authorization she would apply for it. Then, if they decided not to go ahead with the project, they could simply turn down the funds, but if it were approved they could go ahead this year.
Au Gres Mayor LaVern Dittenber said the city council looked into adding fluoride about 20-25 years ago and decided it was not a good idea.
"At the time we looked into it, we were concerned about side effects," Dittenber said.
Wiltse said that while a lot of people are worried about fluoride being toxic, it only is in large doses — which, she said, practically everything is.
"If it is monitored as chlorine is monitored in water to clean out bacteria, (the fluoride) is completely safe for the body," she said. "There are many studies that are peer reviewed, plus scientific evidence, that it is safe for people of all ages."
Wiltse explained that chlorine, another substance added to drinking water to kill bacteria, is a toxic substance to humans in larger doses. However, it is measured and tested an average of twice a day in water treatment facilities, and fluoride would be treated much the same way.
She added she could provide the council with studies and research from the ADA to help them make a decision on the matter, and would be willing to see about getting local dentists Dr. Scott McAlindon and Dr. Andrew Dwan to come to the council's next meeting to answer their questions and concerns.
City Manager Pat Killingbeck said the city council also had concerns about the caustic impact of fluoride on the environment, and acknowledged that the staff is not particularly enthused about the idea for that reason.
Wiltse said a study done in the state of Washington under its Environmental Policy Act found that fluoride had no adverse effect on the environment in the amounts used in drinking water.
The council declined to move on the matter, however, so the earliest the city can apply for the grant is 2014.
Wiltse said Standish got its own fluoride treatment in place around 2011-2012. Its installation and equipment costs came out to about $5,000, and the city pays $80-100 a month for the fluoride itself. In practice, she said for Au Gres it may raise the water bill by a couple dollars.
She said she also had previously spoken to Frances Semenick at the Sims-Whitney Water Board about adding fluoride to their water, but had been unable to attend any of their meetings by the deadline to see about applying for the grant.

HONOLULU - Lt. Gov. Brian Schatz of Hawaii was appointed Wednesday to succeed the late U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie announced the appointment after receiving a list of three candidates from the state Democratic Party earlier in the day. The other candidates were U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa and Esther Kiaaina, a deputy director in the state Department of Land and Natural Resources.
Inouye died Dec. 17 of respiratory complications at the age of 88. He had sent Abercrombie a letter that day, saying he would like Hanabusa, 61, to succeed him.
"Sen. Inouye conveyed his final wish to Gov. Abercrombie. While we are very disappointed that it was not honored, it was the governor's decision to make," Jennifer Sabas, Inouye's chief of staff, said in a statement. "We wish Brian Schatz the best of luck."
Inouye's wishes weren't the only factor he had to consider, Abercrombie said.
"No one and nothing was preordained," he said.
Schatz will serve until an election is held in 2014. Had Hanabusa been appointed, a special election would have been necessary to fill her seat.
Schatz said he will run for re-election in 2014 to try to keep the Senate seat until 2016, the end of Inouye's original term. He said he would run again for Senate in 2016 if given the chance.
"To the people of Hawaii, I can assure you this: I will give every fiber of my being to doing a good job for the state of Hawaii," Schatz said at a news conference. "We have a long and perhaps difficult road ahead of us, but we can succeed if we work together. I understand the magnitude of this obligation and this honor, and I won't let you down."
Hanabusa congratulated Schatz in a statement.
"Having served as chair of the Hawaii Senate Judiciary Committee when the succession law was passed, I fully respect the process and the governor's right to appoint a successor," she said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had urged Abercrombie to name Inouye's successor before the end of the year. Schatz said he will leave Hawaii for Washington on Wednesday night and be prepared to be sworn in on Thursday. That would make him Hawaii's senior senator heading into the new Congress, which begins Jan. 3.
Sen. Daniel Akaka is retiring at the end of this Congress, after 22 years in the Senate. Democratic Rep. Mazie Hirono was elected in November to succeed him.
Schatz, 40, is a former state representative and a former chairman of the state Democratic Party. He also was a leader of President Barack Obama's campaign in Hawaii in 2008.
In making his case before the party's central committee Wednesday, he said he understood the importance of seniority in the Senate and said that if he was appointed, he would strive to make serving in the Senate his life's work.
First in line to replace Schatz as lieutenant governor is Senate President Shan Tsutsui, but Abercrombie said he didn't know whether Tsutsui would accept the new role. The law states only that Tsutsui must make a decision on whether to assume the post "promptly," Abercrombie said.
Tsutsui would be an "extraordinarily capable" lieutenant governor, the governor added.
Tsutsui said he planned to discuss the prospect with his family before deciding.

Rodrigo y Gabriela Tickets

Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero are two fast-fingered Mexicans with a unique sound created on acoustic guitars. Their music is difficult to define, straddling both world and rock and often imbued with timeless Hispano – classical influences. The fire in their music comes from their life-long passion for metal music. In spring 2006, "Rodrigo y Gabriela," beat both the Arctic Monkeys AND Johnny Cash to number one in the Irish charts. Both the artists and their third self–titled album have gone on to enjoy international success since its initial release in early 2006. Read more about Rodrigo y Gabriela on Last.fm.

Last Saturday night I had the pleasure of 'watching the Hatchets play against the Janesville Parker Vikings. It was an awesome game and the Hatchets should be swelling with pride after that game. It was played well, and both teams looked great! It was a game where you wished both teams could win.
Being a relative of Brock Roberts it was especially fun watching them play, yet we have children at the Parker high school, so we were happy for their win. Being a Hatchet alumni, it was great watching my old school play, and play well.
... Our daughter, Kyleigh, is a freshman at Parker and is on the girls' basketball team. She was anxious to see her cousin Brock play also, and she has friends on the Parker team. Also, the Parker coach, Mr. Lee, is also Kyleigh's social studies teacher. He asked why she was sitting with Tomahawk people and did her dad cover the game for the Gazette in Janesville. He is a sports writer there but they did not cover the non-conference game. Kyleigh told him that we went because her cousin Brock Roberts was playing against the Vikings. He said, "That guy is your cousin? He is awesome, they have an excellent player on their team." He also commented on what a good game it was. ...
Congratulations to the team and the coaching
staff, and I hope people come out to cheer them on, they are great to watch.
Go Hatchets! And thanks for an eventful game.
Dawn Roberts Thorn
(Editor's Note: This week's Tomahawk Leader includes a winter sports insert with team pictures, sports calendar and "Go Hatchets" banner. Post the sign in your business window, home or office, or take it to the game and cheer on your favorite team.)
Fun to watch ...

How to Use
Herbert Hoover's adult life reflected the values he learned during his childhood in West Branch, Iowa, a small farming community on the rolling hills of the prairie. Founded in 1850 by Quakers, the town had a population of 350 by the time Hoover was born in 1874. By 1880 more than 500 people lived in West Branch. Besides his father's blacksmith and farm implement shops, the town had a dentist, a stone mason, a wagon maker, a painter, a photographer, a jeweler, a cabinet maker, a dry goods store operator, an insurance agent, and two cobblers. Most of these businessmen were Quakers like Hoover's parents, and their example shaped his beliefs.
1. What natural features helped determine Iowa's boundaries?
2. Locate West Branch and describe its location within the state of Iowa.* The map on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of this map, but be aware that the file will take as much as two minutes to a load with a 28.8K modem.

Bleach 184 Episode Discussion Thread
Hello, hullo! How has everyone coped with the lack of Bleach for one week? No one's cranky I hope? This week's episode title reads very promising. It isn't often an episode title mentions about the importance of having a balanced defense and offense. Usually an action packed episode features either of those aspect, but never the both. Well, the episode title is promising we shall have both in this one. Anyone's confused yet?
So, who is excited?.............. Come on... show some enthusiasm.
No, really... have fun!
Absolutely no manga spoilers in any anime-only threads such as the weekly Episode Discussion threads. That means, no hints, or vague remarks about a future event from the manga, even within the spoiler tags. Inability to observe this rule will result in a BAN!

I liked this episode. The animation was top notch, they did a really good job on the facial features this time round. Damn I didn't realize Kira had kick ass skills with kido either that surprised me. I always thought of him as a wimp, but he's turning out to be a pretty decent shinigami who deserves the vice captain position. I like how Ken chan is helping out Ichi and the gang by staying out of it, lucky for Ichigo lol. Also this episode we get to see a little more of the inner workings of SS, which is something I always look forward to watching. Guess that's it, oh and yet another Bleach movie due out Dec 13th I believe, I still have yet to see the latest one. Oh well Kira FTW!

Well was expecting something more with the Kifune background. Someone really should have pointed out his personality problem earlier. Stupid nonsense like "find what you lack on your own" allowed things to reach this point. Shocking that going around slashing through your comrades to get the enemy isn't approved of. So guy goes around seeking more and more power to get respect. Ok time to finish this up Kira. Not sure why the thing hasn't crashed into the ground since it should have increased its weight by a ridiculous amount.
Sadly Kira can't fight the argument against his position that well. Did get promoted to that point because he would be easy to control. But is a good guy with skills. Besides if he kept it together when there was no captain that shows he's good for the job.

Awesome episode. Though Kira's a wimp, he's more respectable than a "I kill everyone lol why do they hate me I wonder?" douchebag.
And it seems that I was right. *pats self on the back* Yeah, Kifune's Shikai has anti-gravity.

During the big fight of the episode, there plays the same song that was first played with the Bounto arc. The classical song. The start of the song keeps on reminding me of some other well-known classical piece but I can't remember which. Would anyone care to help me on this one?

"Come On Over!," the children's television program filmed at Hope College, has won multiple Michigan Emmy awards for the second consecutive year.
"Come On Over!," the children's television program filmed at Hope College, has won multiple Michigan Emmy awards for the second consecutive year.
"Come On Over!" won five Emmy Awards from The Michigan Chapter of The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on Saturday, June 7, at the Gem Theatre in Detroit. Come On Over! had won six Emmys the year before, the program's first year of eligibility.
"Come On Over!" is the brainchild of Joel Schoon Tanis, who is an artist and 1989 Hope graduate living in Holland, and the creation of Enthusiastic Productions LLC, a venture between Schoon Tanis and the Grand Rapids Children's Museum. The program features Schoon Tanis as a stay-at-home artist with a great imagination, and is set primarily in his backyard and studio - both in the studio of the college's Martha Miller Center for Global Communication.
Filming of "Come On Over!" began in the summer of 2006 and the program debuted that fall on the Battle Creek ABC affiliate WOTV 4. Production has continued at Hope since, and will be running this summer during July and August.
Several members of the Hope family have been involved in the production, including not only Schoon Tanis but also other alumni as well as students, members of the faculty and staff, and cast and crew of Hope Summer Repertory Theatre.
The five Emmys that "Come On Over!" received are:
° "Craft Specialty-Musical Composition/Arrangement," Joel Schoon Tanis '89, Paul Chamness '90 and Chad Dykema '90;
° "Craft Specialty-Research," Adam Mellema;
° "Graphic Arts-Animation," Keith Himebaugh '96;
° "Graphic Arts-Set Design," Bob Phillips and Dave Lepore;
° "On-Camera Talent-Performer/Narrator," Brandy McClendon.
Chamness, who is director of the campus ministries technical staff at the college, and Dykema had also won in the "Musical Composition/Arrangement" category last year, and Schoon Tanis had received the 2007 "On-Camera Talent-Performer/Narrator" award. Himebaugh and Phillips had also won the "Graphic Arts-Animation" and "Graphic Arts-Set Design" awards respectively in 2007.
Additional information about "Come On Over!" may be obtained online at www.comeonover.com and www.grcm.org. In addition, the program was highlighted on page five of the December 2006 issue of "News from Hope College," available online at www.hope.edu/pr/nfhc/archive/pdf/nfhc1206.pdf.

Last night, Nokia began rolling out the 'extras + info' Settings update for their Windows Phone 8 Lumia line.
This app allows Nokia to control and modify certain aspects of the phone without having to do a complete OS or firmware upgrade and indeed there are some minor changes with version 220.127.116.11.
As far as we can tell, there are three things this update does, which are at least visible:
- Removes the "No longer charging" beep
- Adds SmsVCardReceive
- Adds SIM Unlock
The first one is a good thing, bad thing. Nokia had previously added a neat little chime when you removed your Lumia from charging (either wireless or plugged in, if we recall). It was unique but the experience was a bit odd due to the method by which Windows Phone detects when it is unplugged. In short, there's a delay of around 5 seconds, causing an odd "wait, what was that?" effect.
Perhaps if it was an instant notification it would be better, but we give Nokia credit for trying. Of course the "begin charge chime" that's part of the OS is still present.
The two new additions we're not too sure about. SmsVCardReceive and SIM Unlock sound self-explanatory but we're not too sure how it is exactly used here. Our bet is this lays down some software function that will allow Nokia to update other System apps, perhaps adding new features.
Didn't get the update yet? Just follow this link, or scan the QR code and you're good to go.
If anyone notices any other changes in behavior or function, do let us know in comments or join our forum discussion! Thanks, everyone, who tipped us

Molly.b necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 10 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
A new online business called yesUcanb.net. A resource website for Character Educators
I am in the education services. The website offers knowledge, lesson plans, material, tips and advice to teach character education. A character educator helps people (mostly children in schools) understand and care about their character so they can make good choices to live productive and content lives. Important facts that are addressed are "You are not born with good character, you learn it", "You choose your character" and "How your choice affects yourself, others, and the environment"
Target market would be teachers, coaches, instructors, group leaders, administrators. Our material would be applied to schools, sports, youth programs, community organizations and businesses.
The design is a brown paper bag (eyes, nose and mouth) with things (not groceries) coming out of it which has writing
"Who you are", 'How you act", "How you think", and "What motives are behind your actions". Also, two things beside the bag but not touching that we can put quotes on that can change. The bag has a square on the left lower conrner with "yesUcanB.net" in it.
The font is comic sans ms.
If you feel the color scheme works, the things would be: Blue (56,145,167), orange (254, 184, 10), green (132, 170, 51), tan (231, 222, 201),

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
Hint: Pandora's box
Find the Answer
Using the 2008 NEC, correctly identify the Code violation(s) in this month's photo — in 200 words or less — and you could win something to put in your toolbox. E-mail your response to [email protected], and we'll select three winners (excluding manufacturers and prior winners) at random from the correct submissions. Winners will receive a set of insulated hand tools from Ideal Industries, Inc., valued at more than $125.* The set includes 9.25-in. insulated side-cutting pliers, 10-in. insulated tongue-and-groove pliers, and a 0.25-in. × 6-in. insulated screwdriver. (* Please allow six to eight weeks for delivery of tools.)
May Winners
Our three winners this month were: Glen Coury, electronics engineer, K Company, Kent, Ohio; Carl S. Johnson II, senior aviation lighting specialist, Avcon, Inc., Orlando; and Eric Dixon, electrician, Action Electric, Jonesville, Va. This group identified the following Code violations associated with the rooftop air-conditioner equipment installation.
The disconnect switch support (a piece of wood) is not suitable for use in this application [110.3(A)(2)] because it doesn't meet "mechanical strength and durability" requirements.
Electrical equipment should be firmly secured to the surface on which it is mounted. [110.13(A) and 300.11].
Materials shall be protected from corrosion and deterioration (300.6) and — where exposed to sunlight — shall be listed or identified as sunlight-resistant [300.6(C)(1)].
The liquidtight flexible metal conduit (LFMC) is damaged and not supported according to 350.30(A).
Maybe the installer should have taken advantage of 440.14 and mounted the disconnect on the side of the air conditioner unit and not on a chunk of wood.

Enjoy wildlife encounters, thermal spas, adventure activities and great seafood
For an unforgettable range of experiences make sure you include Hanmer Springs & Kaikoura in your New Zealand holiday itinerary.
Snow capped mountains meet the crashing Pacific Ocean along the dramatic Kaikoura coastline and there is no better backdrop against which to experience the magical sight of whales surfacing or dolphins playing. The Maori word Kaikoura literally means 'meal of crayfish' so it's no surprise that this is an ideal location for lovers of seafood! After a pleasant two hour drive you can be in the alpine woodland resort of Hanmer Springs which offers hiking, and adventure activities such as 4WDing, mountain biking and horse riding. However it is most well known as the place for soaking your cares away in restorative thermal waters or indulging in a spa treatment or two!
If you are staying in Kaikoura on the first Saturday of October then make sure not to miss Seafest!
The festival is a taste, sight & sound extravaganza for those who enjoy good food, good company and a good time. An impressive variety of products is offered, presented in many weird and wonderfully creative ways - all enjoyed with continuous live entertainment, this is Kaikoura's premier festival featuring wine and food from the region, Seafest is an annual celebration of the abundance of the ocean and all it represents for the region.
Did you know?
Maori legend states that the Mythical "Maui" put his right foot on the Kaikoura peninsula, as he hauled up the North Island. 900 years ago, Maori "Moa" hunting parties were the first people to discover this area. As the Maori name for Kaikoura "eating crayfish" indicates, the abundance of food sources in the ocean and forests nearby attracted the Ngai Tahu Maori Tribe to this area.

Palantir Acquires Social Analytics Specialist Poptip
Poptip, a two-year-old company that analyzes data from Twitter, is being acquired by Palantir Technologies Inc., one of the most valuable and secretive privately-held startups in Silicon Valley, Poptip announced in a company blog post Tuesday afternoon. The acquisition price has not been disclosed.
The acquisition by Palantir, which specializes in large-scale data mining for the FBI, the CIA, and Wall Street firms, reflects the growing value of Twitter's data as an indicator of social trends. Palantir is known sniffing out money trails, but the acquisition suggests that it's seeking better ways to understand unstructured data (such as the language in a Twitter post) and to boost its profile among a more mainstream sort of potential clients.
The two companies seem somewhat incongruous at first glance. Poptip helps name-brand companies analyze chatter on social networks and send targeted messages. During the Golden Globe Awards, women who tweeted about actresses Hayden Panettiere's and Kelly Osbourne's slicked-back hairdos received instructions on how they could get the look at home, as well as promotions and deals, in their Twitter feeds. The messages came from L'Oréal Paris, which used Poptip's software to analyze the tweets and target potential customers.
Palantir, which was founded in 2004 by former PayPal engineers, has raised nearly $900 million dollars in venture funding and was valued at $9 billion in December. The company has focused largely on applying anti-fraud tools developed at Paypal to defense contracting. Palantir's software reportedly was used in tracking down Osama bin Laden.
In the blog post, Kelsey Falter, who founded Poptip while she was an undergraduate at Notre Dame, said Palantir would provide her company with the resources to continue its mission. "Our work at Poptip was our first foray into real-time data analysis. But we still have so much room to innovate and grow, and Palantir gives us the resources to do just that."
Neither company responded to a request for comment.

In 1980, Dr. Charles Malik gave a memorable and poignant address at the dedication of the Billy Graham Center on the campus of Wheaton College. He presented a challenge in two tasks: save the soul and save the mind. Malik believed that in order to evangelize the academic world, evangelism must learn to speak at an academic level. He called people to raise their level of thinking and sharpen their minds to this end.

Watkins Glen State Park Gorge – Simply Gorgeous
September 6, 2011 by Innkeeper
This past Labor Day Weekend I had the pleasure of hiking the Gorge in Watkins Glen State Park in upstate New York's Finger Lakes. Only took seven years, but eventually I had the opportunity to escape for a few hours and on a holiday weekend no less.
Located about an hour's scenic drive from the 1795 Acorn Inn, the Gorge is nothing short of amazing. On one of the hottest and most humid days of the year, the Gorge was surprisingly cool and comfortable. Actually it was probably one of the coolest places to be.
One should be in relatively good shape for this hike as there are over 800 steps. Towards the end of the first half of the hike, my legs would not lift my body up one more step. I found myself needing to rest for a moment and then onward. The walk along the Gorge is wet, a little muddy and uneven, but not too difficult. The stairs are separated by short walks for much of the way.
We hiked up the Gorge and walked down above the Gorge. All in all, about a two-hour hike with stops for photos and a few rests. You don't have to hike the whole thing. A shuttle bus is available to take you to the top. You can either hike up the gorge and get a ride down or get a ride up and hike down. I think I would do the former if I wasn't going to hike both ways. Regardless of your choice, it's advisable to wear comfortable shoes, bring plenty of water and a camera.

Guidelines for Putting Items on Reserve at a Reserve Desk
Request Online (WEB) Access to Reserve Material
WEB Reserve Request Form & Info
Paper Reserve Request Form & Info
Reserve Staff - Contacts
Guidelines for putting items on reserve at a reserve desk
Submitting requests
- If you would like items available for the first day of classes, please submit your reserve requests 6 weeks prior to the first day of classes
- Requests for reserve items may continue to be submitted at any time throughout the semester.
- Please note that requests submitted AFTER the first day of classes may take A MINIMUM OF 72 HOURS AND AS LONG AS 2 WEEKS OR MORE before the item will be available to students, even for "rush" requests.
- Please indicate a realistic date the material will be assigned to the class. The date will be used to triage the requests when necessary; otherwise requests are generally processed in the order in which they are received.
- A separate request must be submitted for each title
- If you have taught the course before and wish to put the same materials on reserve, you may re-submit the previous semesters forms (these were returned to your academic department at the end of the semester.) Please check the information for accuracy before re-submitting. If requesting a newer edition, please submit a new request.
- Submitting a copy of your syllabus with your readings can help with reserve processing.
- Most items from any Wesleyan library may be placed 'on reserve' at the Reserve desk of your choosing (e.g.: Art books my be 'on reserve' at Olin.)
- Items on reserve may be borrowed for approximately a 2, 4, or 24 hour period. A 2 hour loan period will be assigned for items that do not have a load period specified. Some Art materials may be designated as 'in-house' use only.
- To view the items currently on print (physical) reserve for your course, select your course from OneSearch's Print Reserves search.
Reserve reading is primarily intended for required readings for courses. Recommended readings may be placed on reserve, but we ask faculty to include such readings only if they reasonably anticipate substantial use of them by students. If a new book is being requested, please submit the request early. It may take several weeks to obtain an item from the publisher. Please estimate the number of students registered for your course. One book per 15 students is the standard. For books owned by Wesleyan, please feel free to gather items from the stacks and bring them directly to reserve staff.
Bound or unbound periodicals are not put on reserve. Please submit articles as photocopies or request web access to the article.
Submit items with one completed reserve request form for each title, not each copy. It is very important that the author and title supplied on the reserve request is the same as it appears on the course syllabus, otherwise students have difficulty in retrieving the correct item. ALL COPIES OF A READING SHOULD BE SUBMITTED AT ONE TIME. Additional copies submitted at a later time take much longer to process.
Each photocopy is to be submitted in an individual folder supplied by the academic department. Reserve processing will use the top 3 inches of the front of the folder to affix a label and barcode, so please leave this area blank.
===> Each photocopy must include a copy of the title page and verso (page with detailed publication/copyright information.) For copyright guidelines please access Wesleyan's IP web site. If you have further copyright questions, please contact the Reserves staff.
Using the Music Reserve form, faculty may: 1) request that a library cd or lp be placed on reserve; 2) request that the staff compile selected library recordings onto cassettes; or 3) submit personal copies of recordings.
A reserve request must be submitted for library owned, department, or personal videos used by a course. Unless otherwise instructed by the reserve staff, AV normally shelved at the Science Library is generally best put 'on reserve' at the desk that circulates other items for your course.
Personal Items:
Personal items may be placed on reserve at the owner's risk. The Library does not accept responsibility for items damaged or lost. Personal monograph copies will have a barcode and date due slip attached directly to the item unless Reserve personnel are notified to use a mylar wrapper. A reserve request form must be submitted for each unique title/edition/medium.
Information For Student Run Forums:
Reserve requests for student fun forums, must have the sponsoring faculty's information in the 'faculty name' area, etc. Toward the bottom of the form in the 'Comments' field, please include the student organizer's name and phone number.
End of Semester Return of Reserve Materials:
At the end of the semester all reserve request forms, photocopies and personal items are returned to the academic department.
Request Online (Web) Access to Reserve Material:
If you would like readings available online to allow student access to the documents at any time, and from any computer connected to the Wesleyan network, please provide a complete citation of the reading and on the reserve request indicate 'WEB ACCESS'. When submitting a request via the online library catalog, in the comment field type WEB ACCESS followed by the complete citation as indicated at the top of the online form.
Online reserve material requires the same copyright clearance that is necessary for any reserve material. Copyright guidelines will only permit us to make certain items available online. The library will obtain the necessary copyright clearance for material to be used online. Some publishers will not allow their publications to be accessed online. If this is the case, you will be contacted as soon as we know. The reading will then be available in book or photocopy format at the reserve desk. For copyright guidelines please access Wesleyan's IP web site. If you have further copyright questions, please contact the Reserves staff.
A paper copy of a digitized reading will only be available to borrow from a reserve desk if a copy is either provided by the academic department or the reserve request specifically and clearly indicates that both a digitized reading and a paper copy is to be processed for the newly digitized reserve reading. When the source of a reading is from the web, a hard copy will only be available at the reserve desk if one is provided by the academic department. Photocopies returned to the academic department from prior semesters may be re-supplied for circulation.
If you have a clean copy of the reading, title page, and verso (free from highlighting, extensive underlining, and marking, all of which make scanning difficult) you may submit it in a folder, along with the reserve request form. The paper copy you submit will be made available for your students to borrow from the reserve desk. If you do not already have a photocopy of the reading, or if your copy is not legible, and the book or journal is owned by CTW, you may simply provide us with a complete citation, and we will pull the source and digitize the reading from the original.
Access the online course reserve material from the Library Home Page under the 'COURSE RESERVES' tab.
Title Not in CTW:
Either submit an online reserve request or a paper reserve request [DOC] for books/videos not owned by CTW. Reserve staff will submit an Order Request to Acquisitions for the item.
Online Reserve Request Form & Info:
Click here to access the online Reserve Request form.
After submitting the online Reserve Request Form the information is emailed to Reserve staff. A confirmation screen displays your entries. You may print the confirmation screen if you want to save the information for your records.
Paper Reserve Request Form & Info:
Requests may be submitted by using a WORD document paper reserve request form. Paper request forms are also available from Reserve staff and/or your department administrative assistant.
Use WORD to complete the form or print the page to manually fill out. After completing the form, bring to the Reserve staff, or send via campus mail. (Hint: If submitting many requests for the same course, fill out the name/class information at the top of the form and make photocopies.)
One request must be submitted per title/edition. Photocopies/course packets must have one completed request form per title. Please make sure the citation is complete for each reading. The information requested will allow processing to proceed with minimum delay.
Please type or print clearly the information. Requests for books or videos should be submitted with call number, author, title, and edition (indicate 'any' if a specific edition is not required.)
For Music Reserves please fill out the green Reserve Form available at the Scores & Recording Office.

Caesar Dressing
From Chloe 's Kitchen, Chloe Coscarelli
(Makes about 3/4 cup dressing)
1/4 cup soft tofu
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp white or apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp white miso paste
1 tsp sea salt (I used 1/4 tsp)
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Place all ingredients in blender and process until smooth. Taste for seasoning.
Notes/Results: Full of flavor, light on the fat and cholesterol. This dressing is creamier than it looks on the salad--I don't think my romaine was quite dry enough when I dressed the salad and took pictures. Whoops... Also, I don't like to be "drowning" in dressing so I used 2 tablespoons of this dressing (about 76 calories) for small head (about 4 oz) of chopped romaine. The flavor is very good--garlicky and tangy. I do think the slivered almonds in Post Punk Kitchen's dressing give it more of a Parmesan-cheesy texture and vibe which is nice, but this one is still satisfying and I love the capers. Homemade croutons are my usual topping, although sometimes I get wacky and cook up a few of these Gardein Seven Grain Crispy Tenders and have a "chicken" Caesar. So, if unlike me you are not eating mostly meat and dairy free, why would you bother to try a vegan Caesar salad dressing?! It's about half the calories and fat from the average Caesar dressing with no cholesterol and it tastes really good. And, if you are eating these for lunch or dinner until either your craving, or your jumbo pack of romaine runs out, you can't argue with that! ;-)
Do you go through food obsessions? What do you obsess about?
