Panel discussion: Food, labor and a sustainable food policy agenda for California
Wednesday, October 1 | 2-4 p.m. | GSPP Living Room Goldman School of Public Policy
In the last 20 years, there has been a dramatic decline in wages and working conditions for California's grocery store workers. During the same 20 years, consumer demand for locally sourced, organic, sustainable cuisine has changed products in even the unlikeliest companies, including Walmart, but stopped short of passing CA legislation such as GMO labeling and soda taxes. In this panel discussion, food movement leaders, labor leaders and legislators will look ahead to what a food policy agenda for 2015 might look like. Panel will be moderated by Saru Jayaraman of UC Berkeley's Food Labor Research Center.
RSVP by emailing Wendy Chuew at email@example.com.

Wednesday, October 1 | 1:30-3:30 p.m. | 315 Wheeler Hall

Exhibit: Scores for a Room
September 17 – October 17, 2014 every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday | 12-5 p.m. | Worth Ryder Art Gallery - Kroeber 116 Kroeber Hall

August 28 – December 19, 2014 every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday | 11 a.m.-4 p.m. | Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life (2121 Allston Way)
For thousands of years, food rituals have been essential to constructing and maintaining Jewish identities throughout the diaspora.

October 1 – December 21, 2014 every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday | 11 a.m.-5 p.m. | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive

The exhibition includes approximately fifty portraits, landscapes, commemorative mourning pictures, weather vanes, and decorative sculptures from the BAM/PFA collection. This distinguished collection is one of the finest of American folk art in California.$10 General Admission, $7 Non-UC Berkeley students; Senior citizens (65 & over); Disabled persons; Young adults (13-17), $0 BAM/PFA Members; UC Berkeley students, faculty, staff, and retirees; Children (12&under)
Exhibit: John Zurier
September 12 – December 21, 2014 every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday | 11 a.m.-5 p.m. | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
Berkeley-based artist John Zurier (b. 1956) paints abstract, luminous canvases with hand-mixed pigments that range from subtle, muted earth tones to vibrant, saturated hues. He uses a wide range of brushwork and surface treatments to draw attention to the varied textures of the canvas—often applying distemper (a tempera paint made with dry pigments in animal glue) in thin brushy layers—to capture qualities of light and the changing effects of the atmosphere. Informed by a wide range of references—Abstract Expressionism, Italian Renaissance painting, Minimalism, Japanese painting, and poetry—Zurier's work transcends the mundane to enter an affective realm.$10 General Admission, $7 Non-UC Berkeley students; Senior citizens (65 & over); Disabled persons; Young adults (13-17), $0 BAM/PFA Members; UC Berkeley students, faculty, staff, and retirees; Children (12&under)
Exhibit: Birds Do It, Bees Do It
September 8, 2014 – February 28, 2015 every day | Bernice Layne Brown Gallery Doe Library
From junior high school hygiene films to websites, public health campaigns, scientific studies, children's books, bodice-ripper novels and (sometimes) parents, Americans have always found ways to learn about sex. That information has at times been incorrect or incomplete, and has rarely been delivered without a larger political or moral agenda. While attitudes towards sex education swing from the blissfulness of ignorance to the empowerment of liberation, every generation finds new ways to answer the old questions. Our desire to learn about desire has not changed. This exhibition draws from the resources of campus libraries, from our academic programs, and from social services provided for the Berkeley campus community.
Panel discussion: Online education and the knowledge economy of the 21st century
Thursday, October 2 | 6:30-8 p.m. | Suite 200 World Affairs Council Auditorium, 312 Sutter Street, San Francisco

Film: Facing Mirrors and Border Cafe
Thursday, October 2 | 6-10 p.m. | 340, Sultan Conference Room Stephens Hall
Situated at the crossroads of several art forms, contemporary Iranian cinema provides a global screen on which the profound paradoxes and contradictions of life for women in Iran today are projected. This curated film series highlights the changing image of women, and questions of gender more broadly, in Iranian film. Dealing with themes like sexual abuse, transgender identities, and women in the workplace, these films shed new light on a quiet revolution in which one can neither scream out against injustice nor remain silent. This screening of "Facing Mirrors" and "Border Café" will be followed by a discussion with film series curator, Shahrzad Shirvani.
Lecture: Saru Jayaraman, Out of the kitchen and into the streets?
Thursday, October 2 | 8 p.m. | Wheeler Auditorium

Thursday, October 2 | 4:10-5:30 p.m. | Goldman Theater, David Brower Center, 2150 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA 94704 UC Berkeley Campus
The high participation higher education system first developed in California has spread to national systems across the world.

Puzzle - Hint
You can imagine an arrow in flight, toward a target. For the arrow to reach the target, the arrow must first travel half of the overall distance from the starting point to the target. Next, the arrow must travel half of the remaining distance.
For example, if the starting distance was 10m, the arrow first travels 5m, then 2.5m.
If you extend this concept further, you can imagine the resulting distances getting smaller and smaller. Will the arrow ever reach the target?
Back to the puzzles...

International Humanitarian Law
This seminar seeks to give students an initial overview of the primary legal regimes that underpin the application of international humanitarian law (Hague Law and Geneva Law). Further, given the centrality of emerging jurisprudence from the International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda to the recent development of this field, significant emphasis will be placed on familiarity with current decisions of these bodies. This seminar will also facilitate an applied focus on a number of contemporary issues relevant to humanitarian law including the creation and operation of the international criminal court, the war on terror and its interface with IHL, the relationship between IHL and counterinsurgency and the application of humanitarian law to gendered violations in armed conflict situations.
The seminar seeks to (a) make students familiar with the basic theoretical concepts of international humanitarian law; (b) analyze and become familiar with international treaty documents pertaining to humanitarian law; (c) analyze and become familiar with relevant jurisprudence in the field of humanitarian law; (d) assess and apply the recent developments to an International Criminal Court (ICC) to contemporary and past situations of conflict and (e) focus on contemporary challenges such as the application of IHL to gendered violations in armed conflict.

Elemental's 2006 sci-fi sim-strategy-shooter-RPG Space Rangers 2, meanwhile, is priced at $9.99. That extra $4 is for the privilege of not having to watch hammy acting.

A defense bill just passed by the House of Representatives has fueled a number of important debates on Capitol Hill. Provisions regarding the U.S. detention facility in Guantanamo Bay and the military's alarmingly high incidence of sexual assault have been especially controversial.
It is remarkable, however, that so little attention has been paid to the bill's price tag — a whopping $638 billion.
Even with the automatic federal cuts known as "the sequester," the nation's budget crisis shows no signs of abating. The Congressional Budget Office projects that the government will spend more than $46.6 trillion over the next decade.
Spending by the Department of Defense is a significant part of that. In 2012, the $682 billion the government spent on defense accounted for nearly 20 percent of the federal budget.
Fortunately, America's defense apparatus presents a number of opportunities to dramatically reduce federal spending without endangering U.S. security.
This should begin with programs that exceeding cost projections and are behind schedule. The Pentagon must hold defense contractors more accountable.
According to a new report from the Government Accountability Office, major defense acquisitions programs exceeded initials cost estimates by more than $400 billion in 2012. And the average delay for one these programs was 27 months — up from 22 months just a couple of years ago.
Consider Northrop Grumman's radar system known as the Ground/Air Task Oriented Radar. Since the company began developing the program for the Marine Corps in 2005, G/ATOR's costs have more than doubled. Research and development costs alone have increased by 145 percent, and now stand at $893 million.
And while G/ATOR was supposed to deliver initial operating capability by early 2007, that deadline has slipped to 2016. And the per-unit cost of this system has doubled!
In June, the Senate Armed Services Committee expressed serious concern about G/ATOR's "requirements, capabilities, and affordability."
Lockheed Martin's Medium Extended Air and Missile Defense System is just as bad. It's 10 years behind schedule and expected to cost at least $2 billion more than originally anticipated. Even worse, the U.S. Army no longer wants the product!
It's no wonder why Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., has nicknamed this program the "missile to nowhere." Rep. Rob Andrews, D-N.J., recently compared MEADS to "the bathtub scene in Fatal Attraction" — it keeps coming back even when you think it's been killed.
The Pentagon can't continue to let defense contractors off scot-free for cost overruns and missed deadlines. Especially since a stricter system of oversight and accountability could save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars a year.
The DoD would also benefit from a close assessment of projects that have no direct effect on national security. According to a recent report from Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., the government could save as much as $69 billion over the next decade by eliminating such wasteful and duplicative defense spending.
For instance, the military currently operates 247 grocery stores around the world. Getting the Pentagon out of the grocery business could free up $9.1 billion over 10 years, the report estimates.
Coburn also identifies $700 million in savings that could be reaped by overhauling the DoD's alternative energy programs. These energy initiatives have little to do with defending the U.S. -- in fact, many of them do similar work to programs already funded through the Department of Energy.
Any serious effort to resolve out nation's fiscal crisis needs to include a plan to scale back defense spending. Targeted reforms addressing the Pentagon's most flagrant misuses of taxpayer money are long overdue. And contrary to what critics might say, a leaner, more cost-effective DoD would make us more secure.

RDA Microelectronics Inc. Stock Downgraded (RDA)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 12.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 40.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- RDA has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. To add to this, RDA has a quick ratio of 1.61, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Reflecting the weaknesses we have cited, including the decline in the company's earnings per share, RDA has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 14.30% from its price level of one year ago. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
- The gross profit margin for RDA MICROELECTRONCS INC -ADR is currently lower than what is desirable, coming in at 31.70%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 11.55% trails that of the industry average.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is an awesome school for providing a nurturing environment for a primarily African-American student population. My child has attended the school for several years and although I have had an overall positive experience, there is a true disconnect when it comes to academics. Often times, it seems as though there is more of an emphasis on the "show" (Christmas and Heritage programs, fundraisers, etc) than on true academics. Most of the teachers do not have teaching experience outside of St. Philips so they don't bring much to the table. Also, the teachers change positions very often so this might be why they can not perfect their craft. There is no curriculum being followed and the principle seems clueless about what truly goes on in the classroom. Most of the people I know who's children are successful at private schools after leaving St. P have had to pay for tutors to catch up on writing and mathematics. I believe the lower school (up to 1st or 2nd grade) does a pretty good job in helping children feel proud of who they are and nurtured but after that, when you expect a really good foundation, the teachers are very inconsistent in quality and experience.
St. Philip's is a great school, not a perfect school. I don't think perfect schools exists, nor do perfect teachers, principals, students, and parents exist. St. Philip's is a place where kids feel they belong. It's a safe environment where the school strives to expose children to the people and opportunities that will further their success. The school's greatest strength is its' nurturing environment that includes other parents that are mainstays in the halls and classrooms. The biggest weakness is the crowded schedule that can be overwhelming. Some of the programming is great but some can be sacrificed for more time in the classroom. My son is in his 7th year and he will be graduating next year. I would not have traded the St. Philip's experience for anything. It has been priceless!
This is our first year at St.Philip's and we are pleased with the school. My daughter learns a great deal and I love the exposure she gets to so many differnt topics. There is always something exciting going on or get ready for, and we look forward to each activity. My child is in after school care and participates in dance, drumming, and story time. She loves when the puppeteer comes with the stories and puppets. As any school there is always room for improvement and when it comes to money...whatever I can give that is going to benefit my child's education I will gladly give...(on my middle income status) Teaching does start at home, I don't expect the teacher to make my daughter a genius I have already done that. I expect and have witness my child being engaged and challenged by the teachers and the school.
It is so unfortunate that some parent expect teacher to work miracles in the classroom while the parent do nothing to reinforce the learning at home.Fortunately my grandsons continue their learning after school, weekends, holidays and during the summer. That is so necessary. I know parents pay their money but still, the school can only provide, just so much.I love what you are doing Saint Phillips. Thanks.
My grandsons attend St. Phillips. One has attend 4 years.. As a retired public school teacher, I am very pleased with this school. I observe all aspect and would rate it a 5. My grandsons are so advanced , motivated and well behaved. The teachers work very close with the parents.
my daughter is in pk-4 and i could not have asked for a better school; she is able to write her name and spell exceptionally.. the principal and teachers are always available. they go on field trips and they just had supreme court justice clarence thomas there...this is the best school in Dallas!
Sending my child to St. Philips was one of the best decisions that I could have made for my daughter. My daughter is socially adjusted and culturally aware of who she is. Everyday, I drop my daughter off at school I feel as though she is in a safe environment and that people care and love her. As far as donating money to the school, I have never been forced or felt pressure to donate to any of the fundraisers. The first my daughter attended I did donate, this last school year I was not financially able to donate and the staff has always worked with me if I had a problem with any fees. Nothing is perfect, but for me is saddens me that people speak negative of something because it did not work for them. Especially when African-Americans do it to each other.
I have to agree with one of the former reviewers. I personally like my child's attitude about school and his progress but he has always done well in school. I do feel that the school constantly asked(demands) more money after tuition is paid. It's a strugggle for working parents because you don't get scholorship but you have to but those expensive uniforms, pay annual fund, the heritage program and buying bricks. It becomes overwelming for families taht lie in the middle w/income.
I am so disenchanted and disappointed with the school. I wanted my child to have a good foundation, fully knowing and loving her heritage. I have removed myself from participation in so many school functions because poor communication, disrespect, continuous asking of money, lack of proper notification for functions that will require additional time and money . Unorganized!
My child attended St. Philip''s and has the knowledge, self confidence, and ability to have gone on to one of Dallas' most prestigeous college prep institutions and is now on the honor role. He was very well prepared beyond our expecations. I support and will continue to support St. Philip's because it is in my view the greatest example of what high expectations for children combined with excellent teaching and involvement from parents can do for a child. I would recommend the school to anyone interested in both workinng towards and providing their child with the best. Better yet - visit the school and see for yourself.
St. Philip's is a school where African American children attend. The emphasis on culture is misleading except during Black History Month and a 5th grade social studies class. The afterschool program is a babysitting service with very few if any real classes. The school is strong for children in the early grades but after Kindergarten or 1st grade expect problems. The focus is more on discipline than developing social skills and cultivating leaders. The school is always asking for money in addition to your tuition so be prepared to get hit up consistently and to be reminded that you are not paying the full cost of tuition. Parents are only appreciated when they are giving $$. Favoritism of children who have notable parents or are children of the staff is very evident.
If you are African-American and looking for a school immersed in culture; this is your school. On the other hand, if you are interested in academics; look elsewhere. My child attended this school for kindergarten and I thought he faired well; until 1st grade ! It turned out that my son did not receive the foundation for reading or solving mathematical equations. Not only was he unable to read, but his math abilities decreased significantly. When I met with the teacher, she (non-degreed/certified) assured me that all was well. My son shut down and refused to learn. When did the principal and headmaster 'act' concern? After I decided to take my son and my tuition money some place else. No one was willing to hear my plea until dollars and numbers were involved. I was told I would regret my decision by the headmaster. I have never looked back!
Great school! The staff really do care about your child's success. From the Headmaster who is willing to take time out to individually mentor the children to the Principal who is willing to stay with your child after school to get them on track with their homework assignments to the dedicated teachers! The children are exposed to multi-cultural events and are very well rounded socially. When they leave St. Philips they should be fully equipped academically and socially to meet the world. Their creed:'If it is to be, it's up to me' instill in our children that they can make a mark in society and their communities to eradicate the stigma of African Americans always looking for a hand-out.

Yet another example of a packet kiddie who truly believes he has the right to tell people what to do, and nobody is allowed to bad mouth him. Everyone knows that he is not the gangster he thinks he is. Let's face it, anyone who knows HOW to packet is bound to be some sort of computer nerd. I mean, go up to some real drug abusing gangster on the streets of London or New Your etc, and ask them what an "IP" is - You'll get a broken nose.

Aerovironment Incorporated Stock Upgraded (AVAV)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- AEROVIRONMENT INC has improved earnings per share by 30.0% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, AEROVIRONMENT INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.37 versus $1.16 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.46 versus $1.37).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Aerospace & Defense industry. The net income increased by 32.6% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $6.59 million to $8.74 million.
- AVAV has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 4.98, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- 48.10% is the gross profit margin for AEROVIRONMENT INC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 10.88% is above that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 171.29% to $22.56 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, AEROVIRONMENT INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -11.72%.

I have done some years as a vegetarian.....mostly in the late 90's early 2000's. I originally gave up meat because I was told that it makes your vibration heavy. So, when I started doing readings about 1997 I gave up meat so it would be easier to connect. It was not too hard for me because of my love for animals and I was not really thrilled eating most meat anyway.
Then one day while I was working my regular job at Disney, I smelled barbecue ribs cooking and I could not figure out why because there was no place around me cooking ribs. It was so compelling that on my lunch break I decided to eat some meat....no matter what they had to offer at the employee cafeteria. The only meat that looked good to me was spaghetti with meat sauce. So, I got that and with the very first bite I felt an electric shock go through my body. It felt really good and necessary. So, at that point I started to eat meat again. I only eat beef and turkey. I do not really like chicken or fish and I just do not eat pork either.
I will only eat meat about 5 days out of the week and only once a day. I feel rather sluggish if I eat meat at lunch and dinner both.
So, I agree with Brit....everyone's body is different and has different needs.

Comments about Carrie Adult Womens Costume:
Definitely spring for the gel blood, as the one that came with it isn't a match to the blood on the dress.
[1 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Carrie Adult Womens Costume:
The back of the dress is completely white. I had to paint the back to match the front. The wig was also terrible. I bought a different wig and painted it. The dress does run small so get a size bigger than you would normally buy. And my costume did not come with a corsage.
[8 of 11 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Carrie Adult Womens Costume:
I was very excited to see that the costume came with the wig. I wasn't so sure about putting fake blook in my blonde hair!
Bought the blood stained high heels also, they are wonderful.
[2 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Carrie Adult Womens Costume:
The dress looks cool but is made with very cheap material and is too long. I am 5'2" and the dress is about 4-5 inches too long for me. The tiara looks and fits like it was made for a child. Nothing authentic about it. It is sprayed green and pink in the recesses to look like stones-I plan on buying one of better quality. The wig is stupid because it is so short. Carrie's hair was long. However, this is something I noticed before my purchase. The cream paint is fine but this should have come with some fake blood or something. Other than the height, sizing is accurate. All in all, this is a pretty disappointing costume and it will require at least an extra $40 to pull it off.

One of the courses in etiquette I provide is called "Being a Gentleman 101." We discuss the art of being a gentleman, skills needed to achieve this status, and the benefits socially, personally and professionally to a man.
I have heard some myths about being a gentleman — most of which could be considered inaccurate.
One man was worried that holding a door open for a woman might yield, "Don't you think I can open it myself?"
The answer to his concern is simple: If you open a door for a woman and she does not respond with a simple "thank you," this then only reflects poorly upon her.
Another person suggested that gentlemen are weak.
I married a gentleman. He races cars, flies planes, rides motorcycles and so much more. My father was a gentleman. And I brought up my son, who excels in martial arts and other forms of self defense, to be a gentleman.
My friends have all married gentlemen. These men provide well for their families and lack nothing in the way of manliness. They are not weak in any way.
No lack of benefits
How does being a gentleman benefit you? A gentleman is a man who lives with integrity and moral courage every day. A true gentleman is one who lives with dignity and respect for himself and others. In return, people naturally respect him.
Although it appears most of the benefits of being a gentleman are intangible, this is not so. A gentleman is cool, calm and confident. His honesty, loyalty and credibility will most likely provide tangible benefits that will allow him to be involved with important discussions and decisions, which will likely have a dramatic positive impact on his professional career.
The behavior of a gentleman is not overt but shows itself to be a quiet and consistent strength, which is very attractive to ladies, not only making way for personal and social success.
New etiquette for men
Some would say the standard of etiquette for gentleman has changed.
According to Tim Zagat, co-founder of the famed Zagat survey, "The new word is Los Angelization of dining." In his opinion, casual dress is the new prescribed way of dressing. No suits or coats, "just don't be a slob."
Another considered change is who orders first from the menu. The old standard was always ladies first. The new standard, again according to Zagat, is whoever knows what they want first should order first.
This contemporary new standard does not have my vote. As to who should first order from the menu: Are you really that hungry that you cannot wait for a lady to decide? In most cases, the food will arrive at the same time. A gentleman allows the lady to order before he does.
A true gentleman knows what is appropriate. He dresses for the occasion: business attire, formal dress, casual and semiformal.
Recently, off the coast of Italy, the cruise ship Costa Concordia ran aground in shallow water, with deaths and major damage to the ship. In the face of disaster, it is still the unwritten rule: women and children first. Unfortunately, this did not occur.
I hope that even in our contemporary times, it would not be every person for himself or herself.
Being a gentleman is a choice. His noblest virtues are camaraderie, dependability and unswerving loyalty, mixed with logic, forethought and a great deal of consideration for others. It is nice if he knows how to dine, which fork to use and how to order the wine. There are a multitude of rules for etiquette for being a gentleman. These can be learned, but without a good foundation, there is nothing to build on.
In my seminars, we teach dining, dressing and dating guidelines. We teach the etiquette of new technology and communications, the lost art of conversation and much more. This knowledge of how-to behavior allows a man to be comfortable and confident wherever he goes.
In an unofficial survey I conducted, I wanted to know what qualities women wanted in a man. I asked a series of questions about dating, working, friendships and marriage.
In every answer, the qualities of a gentleman won.

I have been working away on the Eureka Pant in between life events. I have to admit that I don't have a lot of patience for pant fitting, so I'm trying to walk away for a few days if it really starts to stress me out. : ) Now, I will bring you up to date.
I'm beginning with the back, according to instructions. Here is a picture of the back of the first mock-up:
This is a pretty good fit, but after wearing it, looking at the picture, and walking and sitting a bit, I notice that the HBL (horizontal balance line) dips down slightly, mainly the first and second ones. If I pull it up to make the line straight, it feels tight in the crotch. The instructions say that, if this happens, either go up a size or go to the next larger back, which is back number 2. I decide that the overall fit is pretty good, so I use the larger back. Here is the result:
Oh dear, what happened to my almost perfect fit??? I guess back 2 is not the answer. So, now I decide to go with plan b, which is to use the original back (back 1) and make a slight adjustment to it. Here is the suggested adjustment:
After you do this adjustment, you have to realign the HBLs. I spread that wedge 3/8 inch. Here is the result:
Okay, here is where I get confused. Obviously, I have added too large of a wedge to the back crotch, but the HBL is still dipping. ARGH! So, instead of going back to the wedge adjustment and making it smaller, I decide to abandon the wedge adjustment altogether and move to the next possible adjustment. On reflection, I'm still not sure why I have made this decision, but I plunge forward anyway.
Now this next adjustment is only supposed to be used if the two back horizontal lines are bowing out. I'm at the point where I can easily see anything I want to see, so I say to myself, "Heck, yes, I can see the lines bowing!" If you can't, I completely understand. The adjustment is to scoop out the back crotch slightly. I ask my friends at ASG if this sounds good, and they concur. Scooping it is. Here is the result:
I have more length in the back crotch now, but also, I still have wrinkles under the behind. I only scooped 1/4″. My gut is telling me I should go back to the wedge adjustment and just add 1/4″ (before the scoop-out).
I keep going back to the first picture and thinking it looks pretty good. Maybe I'm just imagining that the back crotch is too short – and that the HBL lines are dipping.
Can you see why this process could drive one to drink rather heavily?
More later.

Carrie Underwood fans will have to wait just a little bit longer to hear "Good Girl," the superstar's new single. Several media outlets (including us) had reported that Carrie would debut the song during her CMT Crossroads episode with Steven Tyler this weekend. We have since learned that Carrie will not debut the song on Crossroads. We apologize for any false excitement this may have created. What we can state for a fact is this: Her episode of the series, which pairs two artists of different genres together, airs live on February 4th at 11 pm EST.
Carrie's new single is a co-write for the Oklahoman superstar, who teamed up with songwriters Chris DeStefano and Ashley Gorley. They previously worked together on Carrie's "Don't Forget To Remember Me" and "All-American Girl." Her new single will be sent to radio on February 23rd, 2012.

Howard Scott
Howard Scott (April 1, 1890 – January 1, 1970) was an American engineer who had an interest in technocracy, and helped to form the Technical Alliance, Committee on Technocracy, and Technocracy Incorporated.
Early life[edit]
Little is known about Scott's background or his early life and he has been described as a "mysterious young man".[1] He was born in Virginia in 1890 and was of Scottish-Irish descent. He claimed to have been educated in Europe, but his training did not include any formal higher education.[1]
In 1918, shortly before the end of WWI, Scott appeared in New York City. Scott worked in various construction camps, where he picked up on-the-job engineering experience, and in 1918 was working in a cement pouring gang at Muscle Shoals.[1][2] Following this, Scott established himself in Greenwich Village as "a kind of Bohemian engineer".[1] Scott also ran a small business called Duron Chemical Company which made paint and floor polish at Pompton Lakes, New Jersey. Scott's job was to deliver his goods and show his customers how to use the floor polishing material.[1][2]
At the end of World War I, Howard Scott helped to form the Technical Alliance which explored economic and social trends in North America; the Technical Alliance disbanded in 1921.[3] In 1920, the Industrial Workers of the World, an organization which shared Scott's desire for radical social change, hired him as its first and only "Research Director".[1]
Scott, together with Walter Rautenstrauch formed the Committee on Technocracy in 1932, which advocated a more rational and productive society headed by technical experts. The Committee disbanded in January 1933, after only a few months, largely because of different views held by Scott and Rautenstrauch as well as widespread criticism of Scott.[3][4] Scott had "overstated his academic credentials",[5] and he was discovered not to be a "distinguished engineer".[1][6]
On January 13, 1933, Scott gave a speech about technocracy at New York's Hotel Pierre, before a live audience of 400, which was also broadcast on radio nationwide.[1][7][8] The speech was subsequently called a "grave mistake",[7] "disastrous",[8][9] and "a complete failure".[1] The speech was seen to be "the last straw for disillusioned technocrats".[9]
Later in 1933 Scott formed Technocracy Incorporated and was its chief engineer.[10] He remained as chief engineer until his death in 1970.[1] Scott "argued indefatigably that scientific analysis of industrial production would show the path to lasting efficiency and unprecedented abundance".[11] Scott gained many supporters within the movement. M. King Hubbert, for example, considered Scott extremely knowledgeable in physics. There was some discontent with Scott's leadership during WWII and a number of technocrats broke away from Technocracy Inc. and established their own breakaway organisation which only lasted for about a year.[12]

Laugh Your Way to Better Health at the Belle Isle Library

Maybe it's time to loosen up with laughter. What have you got to lose? Make plans to visit the Belle Isle Library, 5501 N. Villa, from 7 to 8:30pm on Tuesday, February 16, for "Laugh Out Loud—Laughter Yoga Workshop With Laughter Coach Tyler Slater."
"Even grouchy people like to laugh," said Belle Isle librarian Ann Meeks. "Of course, you may have to trick them into it. But we won't be doing much tricking during 'Laugh Out Loud.' Tyler is great at showing everyone how laughter can be used to control stress and mood, especially in times like these when it seems as if nothing can help lighten our load."

"Laugh Out Loud—Laughter Yoga Workshop With Laughter Coach Tyler Slater" is suitable for all ages, and the workshop is free and open to the public. Questions? Call 843-9601.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We did these in orange and the color was beautiful. We also changed the back design to be a sillouette engagement picture. Printing was great and delivered promptly. I had to reorder since we needed more invites than originally planned. Those were easy to reorder and came quicker than expected!"
"This card was wonderful! The colors are exactly as shown, and the printing is rich and of good quality. The textured paper adds a nice touch that makes the card look and feel classy. The paper is thick and durable. I ordered mine with rounded edges, which I think makes them look simple and beautiful. Great product all around!"
"I ordered this card with the gray background and had it customized for us. Our names were in a yellow hence my colors are gray and yellow. It's exactly what we were looking for its modern but the font and style made it traditional at the same time. Customer service was awesome in helping with response cards as well. Recommend it! We have gotten great compliments from our guests also. It was nice to be able to personalize it with our engagement shoot photos and the pearl shimmer added a great look to the superb quality of paper."
"I am absolutley in love with these. They came out beautifully. My wedding is in the fall and these matched my theme so well. At the time I placed my order there was a mix up as to how the finish was to be on my order. Instead of arguing with me, WPD made the corrections and shipped it FEDEX to me straight away. The customer service, the desgins, the quality of products are all what make Wedding Paper Divas the perfect place to order from for the budget bride."
"My wedding is in October and my fiances cousin suggested we use this site and I'm so glad we listened to her. The paper was the perfect color and on thick paper, like card stock. Looks very chic. And all the coloring on the invite blended very well. Exactly what we wanted. Perfect For any fall wedding. Speedy delivery. I can't wait to send them out"

simple basil ricotta tortilla, grossed out
11 comments:
It's odd how your body and senses change when you stop eating that stuff. it's like you cant go back, even if you wanted tooReplyDelete
Again - wow! Your breakfast looks yummy. I have to get out of my breakfast funk and start eating more exciting things. I made tortillas last night after seeing yours. You'd be so proud. They were whole wheat and super easy to make. Although, they smoked up the house quite a bit. I also made a chickpea curry with tomatoes and cauliflower and we ate this with the tortillas. Too bad everyone ate them all and there are no leftovers.ReplyDelete
It is funny about how you do stop craving those things you stop eating. That's why I think if I really did focus on following Eat to Live, eventually it wouldn't be that difficult. It's finding the desire to get started. When the other family was eating the Pizza Hut pizza, surprisingly, it didn't even look appetizing to me. It smelled good, but once I peeked into the box, I had absolutely no craving or desire to eat it.
P.S. Thanks for such nice comments about me and my hubby.
That tofu-basil riotta is a great, versatile recipe. Looks incredible on your tortilla.ReplyDelete
I also now get grossed out by the smell of dairy. Ick.
Wow, your breakfast looks yummy! The tofu basil ricotta sounds fab. I've got some basil in my garden this year that's about ready. I'm going to have to get motivated and try that recipe!ReplyDelete
I think humans or babies who haven't been exposed to dairy are also repulsed by it, but of course calves want it!ReplyDelete
That pizza looks very good.
Your basil-ricotta tortillas look great! I'll have to try something like that soon.ReplyDelete
Yes, I'm having similar experiences with dairy--just the smell of it, even the thought of it. It is hard to believe, but good, that your body changes so quickly.

SIMSBURY, Conn. (AP) - The Connecticut doctor whose wife and two daughters were killed in a gruesome 2007 home invasion says he is considering a run for Congress.
Dr. William Petit told reporters Friday that he is torn about running for office and has not made a decision. Petit and his new wife are expecting a baby in December.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that Petit has spoken with Republicans about running in the 5th Congressional District. The district is currently represented by Democratic Rep. Elizabeth Esty.
Petit was the only survivor of the hostage ordeal in which his wife and daughters were killed inside his home in Cheshire. Petit has never held elected office but he was deeply involved in campaigning against the repeal of Connecticut's death penalty.
