Keep Your Kids Away From Me This Season!
The Childless Bitch: Guess who will NOT be caught dead in a mall this holiday season? Me!
That's right, us single, childless gals are rockin' a hangover from a series of kick-ass holiday parties, and rather than standing in long lines with you and your kids, I am more than happy to let you have that quesadilla maker at 20% off. My gift to you -- and will gladly give this bizarre American middle class holiday to you.
However, I think it's important to address the mother/child shopping etiquette that needs to take place this holiday season.
First and foremost, leave your child at home!
Shopping is intended to be an enjoyable activity. Why would you want to ruin this experience for yourself, the loved one you've dragged along and -- oh, did I mention, every other human being trying to simply buy a gift card?! Listen, we may smile politely but in the back of our minds we're thinking, "Why is that thing in here?"
I get it. You strap your kid in because you think you're making a quick stop at Target, but it never works out. So, since you choose to bring little Jimmy into the hell that is consumer shopping, below are a few rules that should be followed.
1. Those dying bird and abused animal noises you're hearing are coming from your child. Do something about it or I will.
2. No splitting the line. We see you putting your kid in one check-out line and yourself in another to "beat the system." This is not clever or original. Let's play by the rules.
3. Dressing rooms are not anatomy class for your children. If your little Tommy peeps his head under my door, I have every right to notify mall security.
4. If you find yourself saying, "Honey, we're almost done here" -- you should have left the mall 30 minutes ago. You and your child have already broken at least three rules on this list.
5. Aisle 9 -- dog leashes. I'm just sayin'.
6. If you are trying on shoes, it does NOT grant your child the right to occupy a seat. This is the one time I will allow her to play on the floor.
7. Leave the doublewide stroller at home. Your marching band of children are taking up the entire aisle and setting the world record for slowest walkers of all time. Get in. Get out. Go home.
8. Do not fuel A.D.D. with Cinnabon.
9. Congratulations! As a parent, you have earned an all-access VIP pass to three hot mall locations -- The Child Plastic Playing Area, The Food Court and Santa's Holiday Village. Enjoy!
10. And last but not least, it's called online shopping. This will not only be a gift to your overall health and well-being this holiday season, but also a kind way for you to give back to your community.
LOL. This woman is really funny! I know she thinks she's offending us moms, but she's not. She's simply giving us something to laugh at.
Ha that is great, got to love it!
Hilarious that this woman thinks she is spekaing for the childless. We moms don't LIKE having to drag our kids into that crazy hell but in order to get our childless friends and family something they really want and not just something from the corner drug store (which woould be SOOO much easier), we march ourselves down to the mall to get you that hip, trendy gift!
Great read! Truly funny!
Oh my gosh, too funny. I find it hilarious that she thinks she will do something about my child if I dont…bring it. I also find it hysterical that she thinks it is up to her to ALLOW my child to play on the floor. Go back to your drink CB.
My little darlings would so tie her up, slime her with honey and park her under a giant bee hive …
This is a funny joke
God, it may sound insulting but this is one true example of a parental comedy piece
Momlogic, make more parenting jokes!
It makes me laugh alot but i will tie her up on a big tree and make her say parenting jokes causing the tree to become a tourist attraction(LOL)
Good lord. I hope you don't actually get paid for this detritus. It doesn't take any talent at all to steal posts from "childfree" communities.
seek help
I laughed at item #5. I think it's atrocious to put a child on a leash, but it's funny they way she says "Aisle 9 - dog leashes." just too perfect.
Parents laugh at this, but what she says is what she was actually thinking when the piece was written…so laugh all you want, but at least 1 person thought this way about YOUR child.
LOL! This woman really has a big tantrum, better limit her taunts or she will blow.
This woman really has a sense of insulting humor.
Just Sayin'

An unusual visitor is causing quite a stir in a Durham neighborhood.
What some are saying is a rare breed of sheep has taken up residence in the Odyssey Road area, and has become a familiar fixture there for the last two weeks.
So far he has eluded efforts to capture him, including an attempt that went on for several hours Monday morning.
The sheep was identified by some in the neighborhood as a Barbados Mouflon sheep.
The Durham County Sheriff's Animal Control division was in the neighborhood Monday morning trying to corral the sheep, but the animal was having none of it
He was butting heads with animal control for several hours in what has become a familiar game of run-away that's baffled those who want to take him to a new home.
After several hours of leading folks on a merry chase, animal control and the sheriff's deputies gave up -- feeling a bit sheepish -- and began working on a new capture plan.
The animal has been seen around the neighborhood for the past two weeks, and appears to enjoy peeking in ground-floor windows.
Marilyn Murchison has been leaving dog food out for him, and the sheep has taken to drinking out of her birdbath and sleeping in her flower beds.
During the interview with Marilyn in her backyard, the animal emerged from the woods and stood next to us as we spoke.
"He's a beautiful boy and he's not causing any problems," she said as the sheep eyed her and WNCN's crew.
"I really hope somebody can rescue him. He might belong to somebody. Maybe a 4-H, or a child perhaps," she said.
Murchison said the animal "stares at me for hours at a time through my window, so that's why I wonder if he doesn't belong to somebody, and I resemble that somebody."
Animal control says it wants to find a way to humanely capture the sheep.
Steve is an award-winning reporter for WNCN and former assistant professor. A seasoned professional, Steve is proud to call the Triangle home since 2005 after over two decades in Boston, Mass. More>>

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez welcomed a baby boy Saturday in Los Angeles. It's the second child for the star, who has a five-year-old daughter, Nahla, with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry. Halle and Olivier wed in July. In April, the 47-year-old actress said the impending bundle of joy "has been the biggest surprise of my life, to tell you the truth. Thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it's been a big surprise and the most wonderful."
Lamar Odom visited Khloe Kardahsian's home earlier this week, presumably to pick up some clothes and other personal effects. But a source says that while he was there, the two had a "nuclear" confrontation over whether he needs rehab. Lamar told Khloe that he'd been sober for three days. Khloe very reasonably suggested that he's in denial and said there'd be no chance of a reunion unless he gets inpatient treatment. But as they were going through Lamar's things, Khloe found a pipe and what looked like a stash of crack. Incensed, she tossed him out of the house right then and there, calling him a liar and saying, "I'm done with you."
Casey Kasem's kids aren't giving up in their fight to see their ailing father. Casey's wife Jean has been keeping Kerri, Julie and Mike away from him, even though the 79-year-old is in advanced stages of Parkinson's. And they're fed up. So they've hired an attorney, and they say that if they don't get to a chance to visit with their dad, they'll petition a judge for a conservatorship -- with them in charge. But this is not about the money. The three kids know they've been written out of Casey's will and are OK with that. They just want to be with their dad before he's gone.
Roseanne has started a war of words against Ashton Kutcher and Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre. She has accused the duo of stealing one of her jokes in an epic Twitter rant. Roseanne began by attacking Ashton, calling him "an immoral thief of intellectual property." Then she blasted Chuck, who once worked as a writer on her old sitcom. She wrote, "I wish I'd NEVER hired Chuck Lorre... He went from being a drunken bum to an overbearing, arrogant thief. The joke in question -- "you're wet where you're supposed to be dry" -- was spoken by Ashton in a recent episode. Roseanne says it came from one of her stand-up routines.

Open curriculum alternatives to MPAA's new anti-piracy campaign for kids
Adventures in copyright / opensourceway / CC BY-SA
It has come to our attention that the Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America, and top internet service providers are drafting curriculum to teach kids in California elementary schools that copying is wrong, or as Wired.com puts it, "Downloading is Mean!"
This message is way too simple. In this digital age, the most important thing we should be teaching kids is to be creative and take full advantage of all the web has to offer. Copyright, asking permission, open licensing, and all the other legal nuances, should be seen as secondary (and even complementary) to this purpose. We should be starting with the things kids can do versus what they can't do.
In addition to the campaign's overly simple and negative approach, other issues include the complete absence of fair use from the curriculum — exceptions and limitations to copyright that allow various uses of copyrighted materials for educational, journalistic and other purposes. Wired.com reports, "Its president, Marsali Hancock, says fair use is not a part of the teaching material because K-6 graders don't have the ability to grasp it."
Assuming the net generation and their younger counterparts are as dumb as assumed in the above statement, the curriculum still leaves out a crucial and growing part of the Internet landscape — the commons of free and open materials in the public domain and/or released under open licenses that actually encourage copying, redistribution, revision, and remix! In short, everything this simplified anti-piracy campaign is conveniently leaving out in its copyright curriculum for kids.
There is a more balanced approach to educating kids about copyright that includes the alternatives, and here are some organizations and experienced educators who have developed copyright curricula. The following list of resources are open educational resources (OER), licensed under a CC license that enables free and legal reuse, redistribution and remix. In short, stuff that is free and just fine and even great to copy!
Copyright curriculum for kids
Common Sense Media's K-12 Digital Literacy & Citizenship Curriculum
Common Sense Media has developed a comprehensive K-12 Digital Literacy & Citizenship Curriculum for educators to use in their classrooms. Part of the curriculum focuses on Creative Credit & Copyright, which you can navigate easily via their Scope & Sequence tool. The resources are aligned to Common Core standards and licensed under CC BY-NC-SA.
New Media Rights Copyright FAQ Videos
New Media Rights has developed a series of short Copyright FAQ YouTube videos (because what better way to interact with youth but through YouTube?) answering common questions about copyright and the public domain. These videos are drafted by lawyers and read by students and are licensed under CC BY.
Electronic Frontier Foundation's Teaching Copyright Curriculum
EFF developed this copyright curriculum for teachers to use in the classroom several years ago to counter campaigns like the one above, proving that topics like fair use can be taught! Teachingcopyright.org is available under CC BY.
Australia's Smartcopying Guide for Schools and Interactive Resource for Kids
Australia has an official website for its schools regarding copyright for educators and students. However, this website, called Smartcopying, doesn't just cover Australian copyright law — it also covers open educational resources and Creative Commons licenses. It's quite the comprehensive resource with lesson plans, info sheets, videos, and more, and is licensed under CC BY-SA. This includes All Right to Copy, an interactive web activity "designed to teach students about copyright, and how it impacts them as both users and creators." These resources are useful even if you're not Australian, so check it out at http://www.smartcopying.edu.au/ and navigate using the horizontal menu to the topic of your choice.
National Library of New Zealand's Free to Mix Guide for Educators
The National Library of New Zealand takes a different approach to copyright education; instead of focusing on what students can't do, it focuses on what teachers and students can do with its Free to Mix guide. The guide was popular enough to spin off its own remix by CC New Zealand (pdf) with beautifully done graphics. Both versions are licensed under CC BY.
Shared Creations: Making Use of Creative Commons
Emily Puckett Rogers and Kristin Fontichiaro with the University of Michigan created this short and colorful lesson plan book for elementary school teachers that covers copyright, the public domain (even trademarks and patents!), and Creative Commons. This book is short and sweet with age-appropriate activities (that are even fun for adults). You can browse the book for free online or purchase a hard copy at the publisher's website. The book is licensed CC BY-NC-SA.
School of Open's Copyright 4 Educators
The School of Open, a community of volunteers around the world providing free education opportunities on the meaning and impact of openness in the digital age, offers an online course called Copyright 4 Educators. While this course (offered as adapted to both US and AUS law, but open to anyone) is primarily designed for educators and not kids, teachers can take what they've learned and then relay it to their students. The School of Open also offers more kid-friendly resources such as Get CC Savvy, Teach someone something with open content, and numerous lesson plans and activities integrated in CC for K-12 Educators. All School of Open courses on the P2PU platform are licensed under CC BY-SA; others hosted elsewhere may be licensed under CC BY.
This list is not exhaustive; if you know of other copyright education resources, please share them below! And if you would like to contribute to providing free copyright, OER, or CC education opportunities for kids (or adults), please join the School of Open community in its efforts! Visit http://schoolofopen.org/ to get started.2 Comments »
P2PU launches 3rd round of courses, with "Copyright for Educators"
The Peer 2 Peer University, more commonly known now as P2PU by a growing community of self-learners, educators, journalists, and web developers, launches its third round of courses today, opening sign-ups for "courses dealing in subject areas ranging from Collaborative Lesson Planning to Manifestations of Human Trafficking."
P2PU is simultaneously launching its School of Webcraft, which is a collaboration with the Mozilla Foundation and "is a powerful new way to learn open, standards based web development in a collaborative environment. School of Webcraft courses include Beginning Python Webservices and HTML5."
In addition, Creative Commons Counsel Lila Bailey is co-facilitating the Copyright for Educators course this round, which will focus on United States law. The course is "for educators who want to learn about copyright, open content material and licensing" and "is taught around practical case studies faced by teachers when using copyright material in their day to day teaching and educational instruction." For more information, see the course page.
Sign-ups for all other courses are available at http://p2pu.org/course/list. The deadline to sign up is September 8, and courses will run until October 27th. All courses are free to take and openly licensed under CC BY-SA. For more information, see the full announcement, but stay tuned for more courses!Comments Off
Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for OpenCourseWare
The Center for Social Media at AU has released a Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for OpenCourseWare. From the press release,
"OpenCourseWare, the Web-based publication of academic course content launched in 2002 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has been lauded for making college-level courses available to anyone anywhere in the world for free. The movement has expanded to include offerings from some of the nation's most selective universities including the University of Notre Dame and Yale University…
Now, educational organizations have a guide that simplifies the legalities of using copyrighted materials in open courseware—The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for OpenCourseWare. The code was developed by experts in media and fair use at American University and a committee of practitioners of open courseware from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, MIT, Tufts University, University of Michigan, University of Notre Dame, and Yale University…
The code aims to help OCW designers at U.S. educational organizations recognize situations to which fair use applies and situations that require they get permission from third-party rights holders."
The complete code is available via CC BY.Comments Off
Dealing with Legally Incompatible Content in OER
Last month, ccLearn published "Otherwise Open: Managing Incompatible Content in OER". For those of you who never got around to reading the paper, it basically provides an overview of the problem posed by the incorporation of "all-rights-reserved" materials into otherwise open educational resources (OER). It also explores ways of dealing with this problem and the trade-offs involved in relying on jurisdictional copyright exceptions and limitations, such as fair use or fair dealing. As the paper is intended to spur further inquiry and research globally, "Otherwise Open" does not offer concrete solutions to the problem right now.
However, the average OER creator cannot afford to wait, especially if they value their work as part of a global learning commons. In order for OER to be global, the copyright of the OER must be viable across jurisdictions. OER that are available under a CC license are global, as CC licenses are effective worldwide. But the inclusion of third party content that is not under the same terms of the license changes the global nature of OER, potentially walling it off from use in other countries. Thus, ccLearn has developed some practical recommendations and alternatives for those OER creators who are concerned with the global reach and impact of their works.
ccLearn Recommendations – Dealing with Legally Incompatible Content in OER
"Open Educational Resources (OER) are defined by the use of a Creative Commons license and are generally created by those who would like to share their work globally. However, some creators find the need to consider the costs and benefits of incorporating third-party materials with incompatible licenses into their "otherwise open" OER. This document recommends ways of managing or avoiding the problems that will arise."
This and all ccLearn Recommendations and productions are licensed CC BY.Comments Off
Clicking "Refresh": A New Look at Fair Use in the Digital Age
For those of you in the NY area in October, the New York City Bar has a thought provoking panel discussion coming up on fair use in the era of blogging, Twitter, and Facebook. The panel members hail from the U.S. District Court, the Associated Press, and Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society, to name a few. And in the spirit of this topic, I'm going to quote from the site now,
"This panel discussion will address the ways in which copyright law's fair use doctrine has evolved (or may be tested) in an era in which the rise of news aggregation, social networking, and a variety of other websites increasingly allow internet users to combine and transform content from endless sources of media. How transformative are on-line montages and mash-ups? Is the aggregation of headlines or content from news providers infringement or fair use? Does posting copyrighted content on a user's Facebook or Myspace page undermine the market for that content? When does a blogger's summary of an article appropriate enough content to constitute copyright infringement? Panelists will offer a broad range of perspectives on these an other issues from the bench, bar, media industry, and legal academy."
The discussion will be held on Wednesday, October 7 at 6pm, so be sure to register (for free) and drop by.Comments Off
OER Copyright Survey now closed

Copyright tools
Last year, I blogged about the Copyright Advisory Network's nifty digital copyright slider, a tool that helps you tell whether a work is still copyrighted or whether it's in the public domain.
Since then, the OITP at ALA (Office for Information Technology Policy of the American Library Association) has developed and published two new tools: the Fair Use Evaluator and the Exceptions for Instructors eTool. From the announcement,
"The Fair Use Evaluator is an online tool that can help users understand how to determine if the use of a protected work is a "fair use." It helps users collect, organize, and document the information they may need to support a fair use claim, and provides a time-stamped PDF document for the users' records."
"The Exceptions for Instructors eTool guides users through the educational exceptions in U.S. copyright law, helping to explain and clarify rights and responsibilities for the performance and display of copyrighted content in traditional, distance and blended educational models."
In addition to these two new tools, check out the existing Section 108 Spinner, which "help[s] you determine whether or not a particular reproduction is covered by [Section 108] exemption" that "allows libraries & archives, under certain circumstances, to make reproductions of copyrighted materials without the permission of the copyright holder."
All three tools are licensed CC BY NC-SA.Comments Off
Thursday @ EYEBEAM – Copyright & The Creator: Who Cares What's Fair?
If you are in New York on Thursday this week, you are invited to a panel I've helped organize with our friends at Eyebeam on fair use and creators. I'll also be moderating the panel and giving a brief primer on fair use:
This Thursday, July 9, 6–8PM at Eyebeam, there will be a panel discussion on fair-use and appropriation within activist and creative practice moderated by Creative Commons product manager and Eyebeam research associate Fred Benenson; artist/curator Mark Tribe, audio-visual remix artist Jonny Wilson (Eclectic Method), Postmasters gallery director Magdalena Sawon, and Eyebeam resident Jon Cohrs.
A sad day for fair use
Last week a U.S. district court judge issued a preliminary injunction against the publication of 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye, a book based on the idea of J.D. Salinger's Holden Caufield character as a 76 year old man. Strong reactions to the ruling have come from many across the legal, literary and technology fields, for example Mike Madison, Jim Brown, and Mike Masnick.
My Media Musings delivers the bottom line, easily understood by all:
Seeing judges ban books is never a good thing. Seeing a judge ban a book for such flimsy reasons as this is downright frightening. If her ruling stands, expect to see a long line of similar suits in the near future.
Of course one way to take an affirmative stance for reasonable copyright (still strongly trending toward increasing unreasonableness, as evinced by the above) is to grant permission in advance for some uses of your work with a CC license or all uses with the CC0 waiver. Another is to support our work financially and spread the word.10 Comments »
Adam Curry wins again!
This post is written and translated by Paul Keller of CC Netherlands, first posted in Dutch on the CC Netherlands blog earlier today. Regarding one of the quotes below, to be clear, note CC licenses do not override fair use.
Adam Curry wins again!
by Paul Keller
In 2006 Adam Curry initiated and won the first ever lawsuit centering around the use of a Creative Commons licensed work (English). Back then the Dutch gossip-mag 'weekend' had published photos from Curry's flickr account without asking Curry for permission and the Amsterdam court of first instance decided that this use was explicitly prohibited by the non-commercial condition of the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license that Curry uses for his Flickr pictures.
One would assume that other gossip-mags would learn from this and refrain from using photos from Adam's Flickr stream, but exactly that happened 2 weeks ago when 'Privé' used another picture to illustrate an article without Adam permission. As in the previous case Adam immediately reacted, this time by demanding that the publisher of Privé pay him a compensation for the unauthorized use or he would take them to court. Back then Adam wrote:
Instead of taking them directly to court I added twist this time, and gave them the option of paying 5000 euros directly to the War Child Foundation and my legal costs. Failure to comply by June 2nd and I will take them to court. It's national news, lead story on the 6:30 news and all that good stuff :)
According to a public response from the magazine's editor, they will 'see me in court' as they believe they have 'fair use' rights because of the picture's 'news value'. Pretty funny coming from a gossip rag.
While the deadline set by Curry passed without an official reaction from Privé it turns out that the defiant reaction form the magazines editor was not worth the paper it was printed on. Today Adam received a mail from from his lawyers indicating that Privé has settled along the terms provided by Curry in order to avoid the court hearing that was scheduled for the 23rd of June [translation from Dutch original by Creative Commons Netherlands]:
Dear Adam,
the conflict between Telegraaf Tijdschriften Groep ("TTG"), the publishers of among others Privé and yourself has been settled in your favor.
TTG wil pay you an amount of compensation and TTG has signed a declaration (backed up by a penalty) that in the future they will no more infringe on copyrights held by Adam Curry in photos published by him on www.flickr.com. You will donate the compensation received to Warchild and STOP AIDS NOW!.
Given the above, the court hearing scheduled for the 23rd of july will not take place.
Creative Commons congratulates Adam Curry with this victory that once again illustrates that when necessary the Creative Commons licenses offer enough legal protection against unauthorized used of the licensed works. Thanks again Adam!3 Comments »

- Moorish DelightOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/27/2014Cadiz is much nicer 'in person' than one would imagine based on the pictures on their website. It feels like dining in a garden at the Alhambra in Granada.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ambiance over serviceLivingLargeinCaliforniaDined on 9/24/2014Beautiful restaurant amid the bar scene of this block of State Street. Food was excellent- the wine list limited in the Chardonay world (I know, I know, but that's what my wife drinks!). At 6:30 pm there were a number of empty tables to serve inside, and only one waiter serving the filled outside dining area I had noted on my Open Table Reservation that this was a birthday dinner- which the lovely Hostess acknowledged upon my arrival- however the waiter never acknowledge it- which was awkward. I didn't order deserts thinking he was going to offer the desert menu, and thought prompting him by saying we are going to need a check shortly- he brought the check, we paid and left. I was very disappointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great happy hour !BillVIPDined on 9/24/2014Awesome happy hour, local Pure Order brew and awesome flatbreads !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice dinner but a bit lackingbeerorwineDined on 9/20/2014seated right away. staff was friendly. waitstaff should scan the room more often. Summer Melon Salad: about 8 melon balls with a sprinking of arugula floating in a literal bath of lavender mint and watermelon vinaigrette. the crispy proscuiutto was so small that they got lost in the dressing. the goat cheese disintegrated also in the liquid. the best part about the grilled beef skewers was the cauliflower dip and another sauce that was on the plate. order a side of pita bread to scoop it all up. they charged us $3 for the pita, but it was worth it. only 3 skewers of beef. Afumigato Flatbread was very good. House-made Pasta Bolognese was very good but a bit on the salty side. decent entre portions. Jaffurs wine was lovely.Special Features:
- Food great, service lacking.JudeDined on 9/19/2014Ate here last Friday night. Food was great but the service was poor. Was brought the wrong entree; waiter profusely apologized and offered to replace but would have taken forever, I was afraid, and my husband was already tucking into his hot pasta. Ate what was brought, and anticipated being comped for the mistake. Nope, in fact was initially upcharged me for the entree brought in error--until I said something. Then a shared dessert took FOREVER to be served. Really put a bad vibe on an evening of otherwise wonderful food.Special Features:
- Cioppino!gparkDined on 9/18/2014Been to Cadiz a few times now and had a nice experience every time. This time around I went with the Cioppino. Great option! Very large portion with a variety of fresh seafood. Delicious, but beware it was a little spicy which I like. I also had the caprese to start with which had such fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. Stuffed by the time I went homeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best night on our SB tripcanadiangirlDined on 9/12/2014From the moment we walked in a half hour early for our reservation to the moment our waiter and the bartender sent us off to another hot spot to continue our evening ( we had a blast at the Sandbar - thanks Alex ) it was wonderful!!! The table was comfortable for a long lazy dinner, the wine impeccable and the bruschetta was the best we've ever had. ...and the scallops....yum! A great evening. ...one place I would recommend to all my friends and when I think of our trip to Santa Barbara - this night will be my favorite! !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice restaurantsLocalDined on 9/6/2014Lovely meal with friends. Service was great, staff nice, food good too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Terrific meal!foodie7Dined on 8/31/2014We had a wonderful dinner at Cadiz on Sunday night while visiting SB. The ambiance is lovely. We sat outside, but inside is just as nice. While the menu isn't big, everything we had was delicious and beautifully prepared. We started off with the scallops which were very nice although the sauce was a little heavy. The lamb meatballs were divine. We then had one of the flatbreads that was very flavorful and finally ended up with the gnocchi and it was the best dish of the night. Gnocchi is not something we usually order, but this sounded good and others had raved about it. We are so happy we did. They were small pillow-like dumplings with a wonderful, light pesto sauce. The service was excellent and we will definitely go back.Special Features:
- Very goodGpmdineDined on 8/30/2014My friend and I both had the halibut at the recommendation of our waiter, and neither of us were crazy about it. The chocolate dessert was great, and other dishes looked like they would have been better.
- Nice place, mediocre foodOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/29/2014The apps and mains were just OK, but the dessert was good. The service was below average for the price.Special Features:
- Bruschetta to die for!fakefoodieDined on 8/28/2014My friend and I came in for small bites the other night and ended up staying for a full dinner! We started with the Bruschetta and Caprese salad and Pesto gnocchi and it was all so good that we ended up staying for a full dinner and dessert! Everything was delicious but my personal favorite was the bruschetta, which was a different take on bruschetta with avocado's. Fun vibe and our server Chris was great! We will def be back for girl's night againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great cocktails fun placeSaraMDined on 8/28/2014My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at Cadiz. I'm always looking for a place with good, inventive cocktails. I loved the "Andalusian!" ...cool name btw. My boyfriend had the steak for dinner and really liked it. I had the halibut with gazpacho mmmmmm so delish. Recommending to all my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sluggish Service Dash ExpectationsOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/27/2014Food was beautiful, tasty and distinctive. The hostess was polite and so was the wait staff. Menus took awhile to arrive as did the food (the hostess finally brought our main courses), even though the restaurant was not even half full. The big problem started when our server asked if we wanted dessert. We said "yes" and waited 5 to 10 minutes for the dessert menu. Then we waited another 15 minutes for our server to come take our dessert order. We finally flagged down the hostess, asked for our check and went elsewhere for dessert.Special Features:
- Usually very goodSnoopy1Dined on 8/25/2014I like this restaurant. Very nice feel to the restaurant.The food is usually very good but I had the pasta with the meat sauce this time and won't order it again. It was extremely dry. Extra sauce didn't help as the meat part was so thick. The staff offered to make something else without any problem. I decided on an appetizer and got the lamb meatballs. It also had a gamy taste to it. The pasta with just tomato sauce is very nice. The beef skewer appetizer was very tasty and so were the lamb meatball appetizer. I have eaten here before and enjoyed my meal and was disappointed this time. I will still go there and just not order the pasta with meat sauce. Great wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/25/2014This was listed as a 4 star restaurant. As far as the food is concerned, at best, this is a 3 star. Service and ambience was nice. I guess I was expecting a huge wow factor with this restaurant based on previous reviews. I still think it's a nice restaurant, but probably a little over rated.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/24/2014Very disappointed. Uninteresting food. Some fairly good appetizers, main courses poor. Pasta dishes mushy, heavy, salty. French fries soft. Gnocchi little balls with rich sauce..............
- Amazing ScallopsChristianHDined on 8/20/2014Scallops are one of my favorite dishes and whenever they're available at a restaurant, I order them. These were some of the best tasting, freshest scallops I've had in a long time. Also got the bruschetta which was different than your classic bruschetta but was great. Definitely recommendedSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/19/2014Nice ambiance. Beautiful seasoning and flavors, unique and delicious. Server was experienced and knowledgeable, however when then kitchen slowed because of volume we were sitting with no service....no water refills, no inquiry if we wanted more drinks. Needs to fine tune kitchen and service. Attitude was somewhat arrogant towards the customer as if it was the customers obligation/privilege to dine at the restaurant.Special Features:
- Cadiz did not pleasegastricguruDined on 8/15/2014If you enjoy bad service, small portions, and bland overpriced food then I highly recommend Cadiz. For me and my family, Cadiz did not please.
- Very good service; food just okMesaTennisDined on 8/14/2014Our sever was very helpful and enthusiastic, which made for a good dining experience. Neither our peach nor Caprese salads were fresh. The peaches actually tasted like fried oil, unfortunately. Our main courses were also a bit soggy. Again, a great place to visit and have a drink, but the food can be off.Special Features:
- WonderfulLuv2dineDined on 8/13/2014Every Aspect of our experience at Cadiz was perfectly on point! Atmosphere, cocktails & food we will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Inventive and different menuBennyDined on 8/13/2014We had a very nice experience at Cadiz. The food was an inventive take on southern Italian food, not your everyday Italian joint but still authentic. I started with the pesto gnocchi which was some of the best gnocchi I've ever had. Great summer dish. Then I went with the Halibut with gazpacho which was more of a Spanish dish, and was delicious. Spot on service, and solid wine list. My wife and I will be back soon.Special Features:
- Great Spanish - ItalianJohnDined on 8/11/2014Food was excellent - the flatbreads are superb and creative. Salads are fantastic and the chef is very creative in creating a blend of Italian and Spanish Mediterranean style cooking. Definitely worth a visit and Cadiz is definitely worthy of their ranking as one of the top few restaurants in Santa Barbara.Special Features:
- Great on a SundayOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/10/2014Notable wine list and expert server. I wanted pasta and a bottle of wine this Sunday evening and Cadiz was the perfect spot for this. I have always wanted to stop in here and so glad I finally did. I had the housemade pomodoro. Truly an amazing touch when the pasta is housemade. I could have eaten the table bread, also housemade, and butter for my dinner it was so good. The wine that Sean recommended to go with my pasta was an Italian Pinot and he paired it perfectly. Thank you Sean and Cadiz for a perfect Sunday pairing!Special Features:
- MmmmmmdscottDined on 8/6/2014Been to Cadiz a few times and this was the best yet. Saw the lobster on the menu and had to splurge....totally worth it! Very large portion of lobster which came in a farro risotto. Perfect. I hope it's still on the menu next time I'm thereSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent but not cheap at alldawnyDined on 8/5/2014Was a really good meal but the price was far above what we had expected from the Tripadviser recommendationSpecial Features:
- Doesn't quite live up to pricesBrianDined on 8/4/2014Cadiz is very nice, we enjoyed the service and the location on Santa Barbara's main strip, State Street. But we felt the food didn't quite measure up to the prices, which were quite a bit higher than other locations in the neighborhood.Special Features:
- Amazing Cadiz!KalawDined on 8/1/2014I love Cadiz. Consistently good Itlaian/Spanish seafood and pastas made with fresh ingredients. Ordered the Capellini Pomodoro, twice in one visit! Try their duck and roasted chicken; they are fantastic. I've been there three times in just the last month. If you're a foodie, you've got to try this place. The ambiance is very relaxing.Special Features:
- Great spotBrianVIPDined on 8/1/2014Really enjoyed Cadiz. Food was great, service was very good and place had great buzz to it. Great all around.Special Features:
- Great ambience and superb food.nesslovesfoodDined on 7/24/2014On arriving we were given a nice quiet corner which was perfect. Even with two children in our party the selection was superb for them as well - my youngest had an excellent burger which he demolished in record time. The service was also perfect, very at tentative when required. This is both a lovely restaurant for a romantic evening or for a group in a beautiful setting. We will be back again on our next trip to the States.Special Features:
- NashvilleNashvilleVIPDined on 7/23/2014Darling atmosphere.good specialty drinks, raw oysters were perfectly prepared and cold, food was exceptional and the staff was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun new menu items, great serviceeatoutwaytoomuchDined on 7/17/2014I've eaten here a few times and heard that there were some new menu items so wanted to come try them out. Came on a busy Thursday, and got great service even though the restaurant was quite busy. Noticed some decor changes as well which gave it a really fun, hip feel. For dinner I started with the calamari which was fried just right, not too heavy at all, with a really tasty lemon sauce. For my entree I got the King Salmon which was cooked to perfection and came with an amazing corn and blackberry sauce. I will be back soon and recommend Cadiz to all my friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Seaside Italian menu is a hitwannabefoodieDined on 7/15/2014Came to Cadiz on a quieter Tuesday night and had a wonderful experience. The setting is beautiful and makes for a fun vibe. We sat on the patio which is right on State Street and people watched. My meal was delicious...to start with I had the Diver Scallops which were perfectly cooked, and just right for a starter. For my entree I chose the new Duck dish which was so inventive, and summery and delicious...I can't remember everything that was on it, but it had an amazing sauce along with fresh grilled peaches, YUM! Both dishes were light and summery, but I went home feeling very fulfilled. Will be back for sureSpecial Features:
- great place nestled on state streetcovskiDined on 7/11/2014What a great find. We liked the place so much that we made two reservations during our week long stay in SB. We really enjoyed the roasted mary's chicken.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 2nd visitbigeaterVIPDined on 7/8/2014The food and atmosphere are perfect, but our waiter could have been more professional. I really don't like being called "miss" all night. I am a grandmother, not a little girl. I love the unusual cocktails offered there. Looking forward to my next time at Cadiz!Special Features:
- Gets better every time we visit!hilllouDined on 6/20/2014Our Cadiz dining experience was amazing. We are frequent diners there, and always are very happy with the service and the food. During the week I crave their gnocchi and can't wait to go back to order it again. Chef Alex does something wonderful with oxtail and gnocchi, and I am a very tough critic when it comes to any kind of Italian dish. He hits a home run! They have a new on tap Italian beer, Milano, that my husband really loved. Try to leave room for Chef Alex's creative, comforting, and magnificent desserts. Friendly, delicious, attentive, nice ambiance-- every time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It Was OkayHelgaundHelmutDined on 6/6/2014On the website the pictures looked great, but upon entering Cadiz it seemed smaller and divided up. They gave my wife and me a small table in the inside front section. The online menu showed grilled octopus, which we love, but it wasn't on their restaurant menu. The waiter said, "That's gone." Disappointing. I ordered the dungeness crab salad and the gnocchi with oxtail. The crab salad was good but quite small and the gnocchi was kind of gummy but tasted good. My wife wanted the ridgeback shrimp, but they didn't have any. Another disappointment. She ordered the flatbread, which was tasty and plenty to eat, and the the fried calamari, which was crispy and nicely seasoned. Overall, a fair experience. $13.50 for a martini--kind of steep.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious dinnerKMiddDined on 6/3/2014We had an excellent time at this SB restaurant. I definitely recommend for diners expecting a delicious dining experience and great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 220 reviews are from the Cadiz reviews archive.
- Good but not greatPlanetClaireDined on 6/1/2014The food was decent but this restaurant seems to be in the wrong part of town. The area seems to be very popular with college kids and people looking to go bar hopping. Cadiz has an upscale ambiance that doesn't fit with the clientele in the area. The restaurant was extremely quiet the night we were there and lacked ambiance. We've eaten at several other restaurants in Santa Barbara and we would rather return to those than come here again. Overall, it was fine, but not memorable.

Karnataka home minister KJ George also said he has referred charges against social activist SR Hiremath to the enforcement directorate (ED).
"He (Ashoka) had time for more than three years yet failed to fill up the posts in the department. He has, however, become an expert now in criticizing the state government on law and order front by making baseless allegations," George said.
Karnataka home minister KJ George, however, said former home minister R Ashoka was responsible for keeping more than 20,000 posts in police vacant for a long time.
The government is not feared of its chief whip P C George and he cannot put the government in any kind of pressure, said rural development minister K C Joseph. Many of the comments made by the government chief whip are against the interest of the UDF and have badly damaged the front.
Ganga Ram, who is still able to recollect only partially, said that he was working here in Dana Mandi and went to Delhi under depression after having a tiff with his employer. "I worked at Dhabas and then met with an accident but don't remember exactly how I boarded a train and reached Kerala," he said.
Father Geroge Kuttical from Trichur, Kerala, came as Santa in white clothes for Jalandhar resident Babli as he brought her husband Ganga Ram lost seven years back. Ganga Ram was handed over to Father Kuttical's centre for the destitute being run in Trichur. He is runnning his organization Friends and Birds of the Air (FBA) which has around a hndred centres across the country for the needy.

Ouch! As a child, I had many, many ear infections. It got to the point I could differentiate between types of pain: a) it was the start of an ear infection, but if I went into the doctor, they usually sent me home only to have to make a trip to Urgent Care after hours when it got really bad, or b) we made it beyond the point of the start of the ear infection, and it was really infected so the doctor would prescribe an antibiotic. I have taken lots of antibiotics in my day.
Thank God, I have learned about essential oils! My baby will never have to take an antibiotic for an ear infection or ear pain. In fact, neither will I! While we were in Japan, I am certain I got an ear infection. Who does that as an adult?! Anyway, I whipped out my Essential Oil Pocket Reference to see what to do.
I learned that Myrrh, Thyme, Wintergreen, Helichrysum, ImmuPower, Melrose, Thieves, and Purification were all recommended for an ear infection. Out of these, I only had Myrrh, Thieves, and Purification with me in Japan, so I started with Myrrh. I dipped the end of a cotton swab in a bit of olive oil, then added a drop of Myrrh. Then, I gently swabbed the oils around the opening of the ear canal, but not in it. (Never put essential oils directly into the ear. Ear pain can be very serious. Always seek medical attention if pain persists.)
The ear pain went away almost immediately, and I kept dosing myself with Myrrh for a couple days. I am so pleased to say that my ear infection went away, and I never even had to see a doctor or take a medicine! My own experience gives me confidence in treating my daughter, if she ever is unfortunate enough to get an ear infection of her own.

A few notes from the first day of spring practice:
1. Players were in shorts and helmets, and will be Wednesday, as well. I'd guess on Friday they'll be in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts.
Coach Paul Johnson's impressions: "I thought the enthusiasm was pretty good. They bounced around O.K."
He thought the conditioning level was pretty good.
2. Zach Laskey has moved back to B-back from the secondary. Johnson indicated that other players will be moved, but that it's yet to happen. "You're not going to do a whole lot of that on the first day," he said. "Just kind of let 'em get their feet under 'em and kind of go from there."
3. Special teams coordinator David Walkosky went through his first practice with the team. I'm told he was high energy and putting the specialists through a lot of conditioning work.
"I thought he flew around and coached hard, like I thought he would," Johnson said.
Walkosky said that he's 100 percent for using starters on special teams and that Johnson told him to use whatever players he needed. (I don't think this is new.)
He also said he has watched video of every Tech game from the past three seasons since getting hired.
Special-teams coaches are known for having a lot of energy and enthusiasm. I'd never thought about why that is, but he offered a logical explanation.
"You only get one down on special teams," he said. "You don't get second down, you don't get third down. Before the play, usually you have an opportunity to talk to players, so I think it's important to use some energy to get guys going for those eight seconds."
4. Defensive coordinator on Al Groh on the top candidates at inside linebacker, Quayshawn Nealy, Daniel Drummond and Jabari Hunt-Days (Synjyn's brother).
"Quayshawn and Daniel got quite a bit of time in clearly what was a rookie year for both of them. A lot of positives in the year. By the same token, a lot of things that could cause this year, if they'll take advantage of it, to be an even more positive year. It starts out there.
"In Jabari, we have a player. He's got a significant set of skills, so we're looking forward to giving him concentrated coaching here in the spring that was not available to him because of his position on the depth chart last fall."
Groh also noted that Julian Burnett is doing, "from all indications, a very good job of dealing with that sudden change" of his playing days coming to an apparent end.
5. I'm working on a story for Wednesday about the competition between the quarterbacks, particularly backups Vad Lee and Synjyn Days. It's scheduled to run Wednesday. A couple quotes from quarterbacks/B-backs coach Brian Bohannon and wide receiver Darren Waller on the first day.
Bohannon said Tevin Washington, Lee and Days were rusty.
"It wasn't as sharp as I would have expected for three guys who have, whether they've played a lot or not, have been in and have an idea of what's going on. I'd like for them to be a little sharper, so today was a little rusty. I know Wednesday will be a lot better."
Waller said receivers did blocking drills and worked on timing routes with the quarterbacks for three separate periods during practice.
"Just getting everybody's brain back into it, get back into football shape for where you've got to be," Waller said.
Thanks for reading. The Days/Lee story should be posted by late afternoon. I'll plan to have leftover notes from the story on the blog Wednesday morning.
6. Tech is planning to drop its final two games with BYU, at home in 2014 and on the road in 2017. With the nine-game ACC schedule starting most likely in 2013, Tech had to drop one non-conference opponent in 2014 from among Wofford, BYU, Tulane and Georgia.
Should Pitt and Syracuse join the ACC for the 2013 season, Tech won't have the problem of dropping an opponent, as it has yet to find a fourth non-conference opponent. Tech's non-conference opponents for 2017 (for now) are Georgia, Ole Miss and BYU. I'm going to guess that Tech would pick up a non-BCS conference FBS team or an FCS team to replace BYU.
Sorry if you already bought your plane tickets for Provo for 2017. Tough break.

Let's see , Tech has got on the schedule the Mormons (BYU), the Presbyterians, the Jesuits (BC) and Duke who I think was founded by Methodists. This is the schedule that CPJ has been praying for.
Now all Tech needs is a miracle to win them all..
That miracle being changing the schedule and replacing sure losses to Georgia, Clemson, and Va Tech with games vs. Wofford, SMU, and Wake Forest. (The TCU Christians would be too tough). That would lead to one righteous season!
Might even get Notre Dame in the bowl game. Holy Smoke!

All the triple option plays that we run, only give us the option of running on ONE half of the field because the dive is up the middle and then the QB and A-Back run to one side of the field that has been determined pre-snap.
We do run counter plays, but this play does NOT give us the option after the snap to run the play on either side of the field.
Just trying to give suggestions with the Oregon tape, but I don't remember seeing anything out of our playbook in the past 2 or 3 years that give the triple option to either edge of the field like Oregon.
Having the OPTION to take either the left edge of the field or the right edge of the field would spread the defense opening HUGE running lanes!

Why don't you tell us who that's going to be? After all, it's easy to talk out of both sides of your mouth when saying…
A) CPJ doesn't prepare WR's for the NFL with this offense
B) CPJ underuses top-notch WR talent
So…why don't you go out on that limb and tell us who you think he's going to underuse?

And I Love..that he is convicted of Rape in your mind already. The story she told the police doesn't add up yet. Where was her Friend during the rape? Did they both pass out or something? She said stop he did and she left. Women NEVER LIE. I also KNOW the guy was a Tech coach but not a TECH MAN. He has been on the job for 8 months. He has NO TIES to tech but a pay check at this time. I will wait on convicting him of Rape for more info to come out. he did have the drugs and he didn't just start that habit 8 months ago.

"Maybe we can schedule Buffalo, Florida Atlantic, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Georgia Southern. There are six guaranteed wins."
You forgot another guaranteed win: The Joke By Coke. That gives us 7 wins on the year and enough to qualify for the joke bowl games that Tech gets invited to, and loses, on an annual basis.
Georgia Tech=JOKE.

LOL @ 5150 UOAD. He's real quick to defend a heinous rape charge but I do believe he's been known to pop off at the mouth a time or two about UGA arrests for DUI and stealing a scooter helmet.
Oh what a tangled web we weave….

DUI is pretty straight forward. You blow and fail you are guilty and waiting to go to court. You have stolen property you are pretty guilty of some crime. You speed don't go to court and you have a warrant. Rape is a he said she said deal. There is a lot more to discover before quilt can be decided. Read her statements to police and tell me you think that makes him guilty. There is more to this story like Commings hitting his girlfriend or the Treavon Martin case.

Rape is a serious charge and it's not something to joke about. I'm not certain it reflects on a school, though. I am certain it reflects on an individual.

Drop BYU over Wofford and then wonder why we can't sell enough season tickets.

Not that I disagree with Disgusted but going to the new 9 game schedule will cause some shifts right now. It has to change for a second and then hopefully we will keep the other big games we have scheduled in the future. I don't want to pay for the Ga States of the world either.

Speak with your dollars, Disgusted. It doesn't affect my ability to go and have fun either way, so I don't really give a flip.

The rise of literary self-publishing
There are several good reasons a novelist chooses to self-publish:
1. Because of repeated rejection. This is, no doubt, a common reason. And, yes, it leads to the publication of more than a few bad novels.
2. To get the book to market more quickly. Submitting a novel to a publisher—or an agent—is often a long and frustrating process. Few publishers accept a manuscript for consideration without the assurance that no other publisher is simultaneously considering it: publishers do not want to invest in evaluating a potential book only to discover that another company has beaten them to the offer. So the author must wait the three or four months it typically takes for each publisher to come to a decision. Years can pass.
3. To have more control over the process. Many are the authors who complain about some aspect of their treatment by publishers. They especially resent their lack of input into cover design. Fewer and fewer are the in-house editors with the skill to edit a serious novel properly. Standards of copyediting and proofreading are steadily declining as publishers seek ways to cut costs. The self—published author can directly hire top professionals for each aspect of the book-generating process. Of course, the money for this will have to come out of the author's own pocket.
4. To receive a larger share of the book's earnings. The author of a conventionally published book typically receives 10 percent of the list price or less, although on conventionally published e-books, whose selling price is much lower, that author would be entitled to 25 percent of the net price. For a self-published author, the earnings per book sold are higher—as much as 70 percent of the selling price with an e-book. For a POD book produced via Amazon's CreateSpace, for example, the author's take runs as high as 60 percent of the selling price, but this is after paying the upfront cost of the publishing "package" comprising preparatory costs such as editing, typesetting, design and e-book formatting. (The minimum selling price is generally set at roughly four times the unit production cost of the book.) If the author handles all the prep work and deals directly with a printer such as Lightning Source, the cost per book is lower and the potential earnings are higher.
5. To attract the attention of a major publisher. Indie websites and blogs are awash with stories of the self-published book that made a big enough splash on its own that it was picked up by a mainstream publisher and made into an even bigger success. A recent example of a literary novel to make this leap is A Naked Singularity by Sergio De La Pava, which was picked up by the University of Chicago Press. It is difficult to imagine this 678-page doorstopper the Globe and Mail reviewer called an "absurdist romp through the [American] justice system" finding a proper publisher any other way.
The main challenge of self-publishing is getting the book widely known among potential readers. The author must become his or her own publicity and marketing department. It is difficult, but not impossible, to place your book with the Indigo chain, which now accounts for as much as 50 percent of Canadian retail sales of physical books. Magazines and newspapers will not review your book and it will not be eligible for the grants and awards available to conventional publishers. But it seems to be relatively easy to gain access to the major online booksellers such as Amazon.com and, in Canada, Chapters.Indigo.ca, where it can be available as POD and in e-book format.
As it happens, mainstream publishers now expect all but their best-selling fiction writers to do most of their marketing themselves. Once the publication date rolls around they offer little or nothing beyond sending out copies for review and giving the book space in the catalogue. Authors are expected to maintain a website, write a regular blog and social-network themselves silly. Many authors are so disappointed by the lack of support from their publisher that they hire professional publicists to supplement the in-house effort. And still the average conventionally published novel in Canada is lucky to sell 2,000 copies—and that is assuming it makes it into Chapters/Indigo as well as most independent bookstores.
As Peter Mayer, former CEO of Viking/Penguin, recently acknowledged, "publishers clearly need to newly prove to readers and authors the value that publishers add."

An audience member asks Dr. Oz about her condition SVT (Supraventricular tachycardia – which is a rapid rhythm of the heart involving an accessory pathway. The pace-maker cells of the heart are unable to control the rhythm of the heart. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid breathing, dizziness, loss of consciousness, and numbness in body parts at times). The audience member asks Dr. Oz if she should give up her water aerobics, due to the possibility that it might bring about an attack.
Dr. Oz discourages giving up physical activity, and he encourages finding an activity that doesn't bring on SVT symptoms. Dr. Oz suggests taking a medication during the activity and/or with the combined supplements 500mg of magnesium and 1 gram of calcium to help decrease the symptoms of SVT.
Audience member Bruce has a sister (29 years old) that just got Gastritis. Bruce asks Dr. Oz what causes Gastritis. Dr. Oz states, in this case where Gastritis is stress-related, that the lining of the stomach is inflamed and damaged, and the esophageal walls can be eroded by acid from the stomach. Over-the-counter antacids are a common treatment for mild gastritis. Further investigation may be needed if symptoms do not subside with antacids alone.
