Pastis It Is // New York City, USA
Nothing beats the Meatpackers District of NYC.
Nothing beats good old, American buttermilk pancakes in a bath of maple syrup. But it wasn't brunch calling Pastis this time but lunch.
The sun was shining, the trendsetters out but to my annoyance renovations were taking place and ugly scaffolding surrounded the otherwise beautiful building the French brasserie Pastis was housed in.
Only cocktails could lift the slightly dented mood. Spring was in the air after all.
Fig & Apple Vodka Martini, Peach Spritzer ($14 each)
Neither cocktail was quite up to the expectation so Sancerre was called in for back-up. Not as crisp as The Standard Grill's choice - 'Le Mercy Dien' from Loire, but at $12 a glass it was the better from what was on offer.
Mushrooms on toast ($15)
The starter was divine and raised hopes for a great lunch. Wild mushrooms sauteed with cream and Madeira wine just enough that they retain their natural juices. Paired with the table bread, fresh from Balthazar's, rather than the toast served, it would make a great brunch choice for those with a sweet tooth but not wanting the pancakes.
Seared Tuna Nicoise ($22)
My last visit to Pastis, I'd ordered the same salad but was presented with a bowl of frozen beans and seared tuna that had leapt off the grill for some time. I re-ordered to see if it was a one-off or a repetitive game. The visits were within a week of each other so the same kitchen staff would probably be making it.
The bowl was warm, tuna cooked right and not a sparkly ice crystal in sight. My extra portion of anchovies was, however, missing.
Linguini with Cockles & Garlic ($18)
My company had the pasta with mussels. Half of which were closed or missing in action. This is usually something that puts me off ordering mussels, always a gamble. There is a reason restaurants have cheap as chips 'Bucket's of Mussels' specials - it's a treasure hunt of mostly shells.
Thought the meal was pleasant and supplemented with lots of people watching, the table bread was probably the standout and reminded me a visit to Balthazar's was obligatory to any NYC trip….
Leave Pastis for brunch in my view. Nothing beats the buzzing, warm atmosphere fizzed up with mimosas and nasal chatter of sunglassed-NYCers.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - All passengers and crew on board a Pakistani passenger plane carrying 152 people are believed to have been killed when it crashed near Islamabad on Wednesday, an official said.
Two Americans were among the victims, a U.S. embassy spokesman told Reuters. He had no further details.
"There are no survivors. We believe all are dead. We are recovering the remains of the dead bodies from the wreckage," Imtiaz Elahi, chairman of Islamabad's Capital Development Authority told Reuters.

Professor Muhammad Yunus is a man with formidable international name recognition, domestic popularity and civil society –donor acceptance. So he definitely is a rival to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at least in terms of clout and recognition. Is this the reason behind Mrs. Hasina and her Government's self-immolating attempts to harass and undermine Professor Yunus? Is jealousy is the only factor behind the fact the whole state craft of Bangladesh spend months after months, whole cabinet spends two hours in special meeting and octogenarian Finance Minister makes it his magnum opus to somehow device a way for the state to remove Mr. Yunus from his high held position?

(Owners of stereotypically aggressive dog breeds such as Germen shepherds and Rottweilers are more likely to be hostile and aggressive themselves compared with owners of typically laid-back pooches such as Labrador retrievers, according to a new study.)
I agree...I have a Rottweiler and a pit mix. I AM Agressive and HOSTILE. I have dogs to protect myself, my home and my family. I am also very passionate in PROTECTING my dogs. My dogs are part of the family and I will defend them until the day they die. I will also then look and adopt another Rottweiler! They are a great dog and very passionate themselves at protecting and defending their family. I have also seen that people who do not get enough sex can tend to be rather HOSTILE. Most of these "studies" are a crock and waste of time. Stop trying to stereotype everyone. I like to wear black eyeshadow what does that say? Is there a study for that? Maybe you could do a study and find out!
The tags had nothing to do with whether or not the dog needed to be shot. This dog apparently let officers get close enough to READ those tags and to deliver the dog back where it belonged, which is a good thing. But had that tagged dog behaved too aggressively, do you really think the police would have just wandered around saying, "Nice doggy, good doggy!" I tend to doubt it...
My studies on black eyeshadow on a lady is hot!
My mom wore black eyeshadow. That's what she told the church ladies anyways. My dad said it was from not being a good listener.
I don't know that it's a matter of LETTING a dog run loose so much as it's a matter of a dog who GOT loose...

A Common Virus Can Trigger Asthma in Children

A Common Virus Can Trigger Asthma in Children
A new report on asthma finds the rate among Connecticut children rose more than seven percent between 2005 and 2010. The state health department says no one really knows what causes asthma. But WNPR's Lucy Nalpathanchil reports that a common virus called RSV or respiratory syncytial virus may be a contributing factor.
Most people think of the winter months as cold season but at Connecticut Childrens Medical Center, November thru March is also called RSV season.
"RSV basically causes a cold. It's a very, very common virus. Half of all kids less than a year in age have had it and ninety percent of kids less than two have had it at least once."
Dr Nick Bennett specializes in pediatric infectious diseases. He says with serious RSV infection, kids end up coughing a lot, they produce a lot of mucus and they have difficulty breathing. When it's this bad, they end up in the hospital.
"I can tell you that the inpatient service right now is swamped with RSV. So is the ICU."
Last winter, 130 kids with RSV under age one were hospitalized at CCMC.
Bennett has studied RSV in high risk kids like premature babies. He says the medical community has long known there's an association between serious RSV and an asthma diagnosis later in life. But doctors can't say conclusively if RSV "alone" causes asthma.
"It may be this chicken and egg situation where the kids that would have been diagnosed later on with asthma are just the ones that are going to get bad RSV."
Bennett says the kids to watch closely when suffering from a bad cold are the ones who have a family history of asthma or allergies.

Three generations of chefs passed on their talents to Sweet Sushi by Jessica's eponymous founder, who brings an epicurean flair to her baked goods, which are shaped to look like sushi. Colourful bands of fondant on top of petite rice-krispies treats emulate nigiri sushi and make for a low-fat, low-calorie goodie. Her kitchen also creates bite-size cake balls in flavours such as coconut dream cake, lemon meringue, and chocolate mint. Flavoured popcorns, from cheddar to milk-chocolate caramel, round out the menu.
Marble Treasure Inc offering marble, quartz and granite countertops as well as faucets, sinks and unique hand painted vessel sinks, customers are guaranteed to leave the showroom feeling well informed and educated about the products and sells.
For 20 years, The Brew Kettle has let beer, wine, and cider aficionados bask in the pride of making their own beverages without the hassle of using their own equipment. The process begins as libation experts help customers browse the more than 200 beverage kits to choose their favourite style, whether it's a murky stout, a refreshing riesling, or a blend of several flavours. Once they've made their choice, customers mix the ingredients with yeast, then hand off their developing creation to staff members so they can monitor it for proper fermentation and a passable Belgian accent over the following weeks. Once it's ready, the experts filter the newly born beverage and help the customer bottle it, label it, and ferry it home to enjoy.
Combining for more than 30 years of experience between them, the technicians of Home Pro Exterior Services gird houses against the occasional harshness of Canadian weather and wildlife. They scale ladders to repair roofs and sweep eavestroughs and downspouts clear of debris, which helps prevent rooftop flooding. While they're up there, they typically also examine the roof for 15 points of common stress and indicators that animals may have found entrance into the house. Should critters be cohabitating with owners, technicians can humanely remove them and release them back into the wild before repairing the entry point or hanging a "no vacancy" sign.
New Classic compiles a warehouse worth of retail and wholesale cookware, knives, and tableware as well as home furnishings from cabinets to chandeliers. Its expansive showroom abounds with houseware from Versace, Armani, and Swarovski to enable keeping up with the Joneses and their gold-leaf washing machine. The shop's overseas agents and buyers in Europe and Asia scout the globe to maintain a unique selection of housewares and gifts.
To reach the heights of advanced cookery, one needs the right cutlery. Cook Room makes sure chefs, no matter if they operate out of the home or a professional kitchen, work with the best tools to ply their trade. They carry pots and pans of every variety, featuring some forged from stainless steel, some coated in non-stick Teflon, and some built to withstand the intense heat of an oven. They round out their selection of cooking gear with flatware—such as the 78-piece Carl Weill set—and knife sets that feature blades ideal for paring fruit, deboning ducks, or slicing effortlessly through air molecules.

I was married for four months before and got divorced. I then liked someone for 4 years and was not successful, he left me. Then I liked someelse again for 2 years and his parents disapproved.
I am so heartbroken and lost. I have been hurt so many times and I feel like I will lost respect from everyone very soon.
I do not know why this keeps happening to me, I am losing faith and patience and it is affecting me in my work, my everyday life...
I feel hopeless and unmotivated to do anything. I have completely given up.

X20 with Lens Control Error back from Fujifilm
11 months ago
They had it for close to one month, but they returned my X20 and the lens control error problem is gone. On the packing slip it says "replaced lens assembly". So, sounds like a major fix! I took 100 photos at my daughter's soccer game shortly after getting it back and the camera seems fine. Just thought I would report my experience.

Most of my stuff is in this storage unit, but there was some extra room, so I helped my dad move some of his project radios in. He repairs and refinishes these old tube radios. He even recreates missing knobs. He's got shelves and racks full of these things in the basement.
Nope. Nope. Close and nope. It's a Pilot Television from 1948. It sports a whopping three inch B&W screen. Note the magnifier attachment in the first picture. Sawdustanddaisies was pretty close with her Crosley Radio guess. My dad has several of those in various stages of restoration or part-scavengatude, but this ain't that.
Also, I apologize for the digital verbal abuse in my previous post. You probably didn't deserve that.
Pop quiz, assholes:
My dad is renovating this. What is it?
I saw this on my way home yesterday, in case anyone wants to know what to get me for Christmas.
I believe that tank behind the cab is the gas tank. I'm sure it's safe.

Gun pulled in Manchester road-rage incident
The man, who police did not identify in a news release, said the incident happened about 4 p.m. Immediately after, the other driver followed him as he drove east on Auburn Street and south on Wilson Street, according to the police report.
When the man came to a red light at Valley Street, the driver was still behind him in his sky blue, older-model Ford Taurus. The man watched through his rear-view mirror as the other driver motioned toward him and pointed a firearm into the air.The driver of the Taurus then got out of his car and started walking toward him.
Although the driver did not appear to be carrying the gun, the man was concerned for his safety and took off, heading straight to the police station about two blocks away.
The armed driver is described as a 300-pound black man in his 30s. He was wearing a beige sweatshirt, blue jeans and a red and black winter hat.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips for cash rewards may be made through Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org.

I never saw such a woman. She would certainly be a fearsome thing to behold.
Wright went with the Darcy he saw in his head, a vulnerable young man with big responsibilities after the death of his parents who suffers from a lack of social graces.
"He put on a suit of manhood that didn't quite fit him, and Elizabeth teaches him how to be a man."

Celtic Sea Salt
Ordinary table salt has been stripped of all minerals except sodium and chloride. Celtic Sea Salt, on the other hand, is made from pristine ocean water that has been dehydrated by the sun, so it contains all the balanced minerals of clean, pure sea water. It is infinitely better for your health than ordinary table salt. In attempting to eat a nutrient rich diet, it makes sense to seek out the healthiest form of this everyday ingredient. Continue reading here.
If you have never tried Celtic Sea Salt before, we recommend that you start with the fine ground salt since it is most like the table salt you're used to.
Kyocera Ceramic Salt & Pepper Mills
Ordinary salt ginders are made from metal, and whole, natural salts remain moist because they don't contain any moisture-absorbing additives like aluminum. So when you put a natural, coarse salt, like Celtic Sea Salt, into a metal grinder, the grinder tends to become corroded. Then that corroded metal gets in your food. Not so with our Kyocera ceramic mills. Their internal grinding parts are entirely ceramic. Pure, clean, natural.

Organic Grass Fed Butter Oil (Ghee)
Butter oil, or ghee, is the oil portion of organic butter which is made from grass fed cows' milk. This butter oil is made only in spring and fall, when the cows are actually out on the pasture eating rapidly growing fresh green grass. It is especially high in vitamins A and K; helpful for acne, curing cavities, conception and overall good health. Some people take high vitamin butter oil in capsules as a supplement... more
Green Pasture's Fermented Cod Liver Oil and High Vitamin Butter Oil Dr. Weston A. Price, a dentist in the 1920's, used cod liver oil and butter oil together to promote healthy, straight, cavity-free teeth and healthy bones. Our family uses the cinnamon flavored fermented cod liver oil in conjunction with our Organic Grass Fed Ghee. We think the flavor is the best of any cod liver oil we've tried, and the only ingredients are fermented cod liver oil, cassia oil, organic stevia leaf.

The tiny BioLite Stove, while useful, would not be up to the task – enter the BioLite Basecamp. The Basecamp is considerably bigger than its […]

RIHANNA has cancelled her Houston, Texas concert this Monday due to an unknown illness, according to the latest entertainment news.
We don't know if Drake's recent revealing interview about her and Chris Brown had anything to do with this but Rihanna has reportedly backed out from her scheduled performance in Houston, Texas on Monday.
As previously reported, this is not the first time that she cancelled a show from her "Diamonds World Tour." Last month, she cancelled two shows in Portugal due to "unforeseen circumstances."
While this is certainly bad news for the Barbadian singer's fans in the area, the production LiveNation has announced that ticket holders will be able to refund their tickets if the show is not postponed to a later date.
She will, however, resume her tour in Dallas this Tuesday.

Fatigue (PDQ®): Supportive care - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Intervention
The newer so-called wake-promoting agents, modafinil and armodafinil, are just beginning to be studied for CRF. Modafinil is a centrally acting, nonamphetamine, central nervous system stimulant.[9] Armodafinil is the R-enantiomer of modafinil and an alpha-1 adrenoceptor agonist.[10] Modafinil and armodafinil are approved by the FDA for narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift-work disorders. Neither of these agents is approved by the FDA for the treatment of CRF. These agents are also not indicated for use in children and adolescents. The mechanism of action of modafinil and armodafinil is different from that of amphetamines, but the exact mechanisms by which these agents improve wakefulness are not known. On the basis of a couple of promising open-label pilot trials,[11,12] a large randomized controlled trial evaluated modafinil for CRF using 200 mg versus placebo in more than 850 patients receiving chemotherapy. Patients had to have fatigue ratings of at least 2 out of 10 to be eligible for this study. During four cycles of chemotherapy, this study failed to show significant differences between arms.[7] Because armodafinil is newer to the marketplace, research on its possible role in CRF has not yet been published. More research is needed to identify whether modafinil and armodafinil can ameliorate fatigue and which populations of cancer survivors can benefit most from them.
With both methylphenidate and modafinil, there have been exploratory data suggesting that patients with more severe fatigue or more advanced disease may receive more benefit from these drugs.[7,8] A small (n = 13), randomized, placebo-controlled study [6] using methylphenidate (titrated up to 30 mg/day) as an intervention failed to show statistical difference on the primary outcome measure, the brief fatigue inventory (BFI) total score, or activity interference subscale. However, the methylphenidate group showed significant reductions in the BFI severity subscale scores compared with the placebo group. The mean severity score at baseline was 6.5 for the methylphenidate group and 5.7 for the placebo group, placing these patients in a more severe fatigue category. A secondary analysis of the phase III trial evaluating modafinil versus placebo for CRF also revealed that patients with more severe fatigue may have benefited from modafinil.[7] More research is needed to further evaluate whether psychostimulants are beneficial for patients experiencing more severe CRF.
The side effects most commonly described with psychostimulants include insomnia, euphoria, headache, nausea, anxiety, and mood lability.[5,7,8,13,14] High doses and long-term use may produce anorexia, nightmares, insomnia, euphoria, paranoia, and possible cardiovascular complications. Patients with cancer carry a higher risk of cardiovascular complications, depending on the type of cancer and cancer treatment (e.g., cardiotoxic chemotherapy regimens). Cardiovascular complications with psychostimulants can arise even in patients without any significant risk factors.[6] In the study using methylphenidate as an intervention for the treatment of CRF in patients with prostate cancer, 6 subjects (27%) out of a total of 16 subjects in the methylphenidate group were discontinued because of increased blood pressure and tachycardia. It is important to note that none of these subjects were being treated with known cardiotoxic chemotherapeutic regimens such as anthracyclines.[6] Careful and continuous monitoring of certain cardiovascular parameters (mainly blood pressure and heart rate) is critical when psychostimulants are used to treat CRF. In certain complex cases, consulting with cardiology services may be considered. Cardiovascular issues are thought to be less of a risk with modafinil and armodafinil. It is important to consider risk-benefit ratio and to evaluate patients for response and side effects when these agents are used to treat CRF.

Keeper expecting large American interest in FA Cup clash.
Tim Howard
Landon Donovan
Two of the USA's biggest stars go head-to-head this week as their respective clubs aim to take a giant stride towards one of the biggest sporting occasions on the planet.
Hundreds of thousands will be following events worldwide, each wanting to know which of the duo will lead their side to glory.
Money will be wagered, replica shirts donned and beer fridges filled. Bar stools will be pushed aside, sofas rearranged and families gathered.
But this isn't the Superbowl. It isn't The Stanley Cup. It's not the World Series. It's Everton versus Fulham in the English FA Cup.
The importance of the tie and the meeting of Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey - arguably the greatest two footballers the USA has produced - is not lost on compatriot and Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard.
On one hand his side are vying for a place in the fifth round of a competition they are desperate to win. On the other, the Blues' exposure to an American audience may be as great as ever.
"I would hope there'll be a big American interest," he told evertontv. "They are two of our biggest marquee players, not because of their marketability, how they dress or the way they look but because they are our best players bar none, and from a US national team standpoint they're the key cogs. We need to have Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey at their best to make waves, win competitions, qualify for World Cups and so on."
Having served as a home to the likes of Joe-Max Moore, Brian McBride and Howard himself, Everton's standing on the other side of the Atlantic has long been high.
That interest peaked, however, with the loan acquisition of Landon Donovan from LA Galaxy in January 2010.
So mutual was the respect born between Club and player during his three months in England, America's all-time leading scorer promised a return to the Premier League would only ever lead him back to Goodison Park.
His return earlier this month was therefore heralded by fans and to date the pocket-sized forward has done little to disappoint.
Meanwhile, at Craven Cottage, Dempsey has been in the form of his life - 15 goals in 29 appearances this season making him one of England's most deadly marksmen.
The 28-year-old's emergence as Fulham's primary threat was perhaps best demonstrated by his clinical second-half hat-trick against Newcastle last weekend and Howard believes America's hottest two talents are meeting whilst at the very height of their powers.
"For me they are top, top players and I think they continue to prove that every single year," he said. "Without any disrespect to Fulham, I think Clint's been their best player for quite a while and it seems year after year they begin to rely more and more on his presence, on his goals and on his leadership. I know Clint has been on a wonderful scoring run but hopefully we can keep him out and keep him quiet.
"And Landon. What can you say about Landon? He wins championships and he's always the best player or thereabouts. He has been a huge positive for us. He's put in some really solid performances and one thing about Landon is he's very aware of what goes on on a football field and he reads situations and how he can best provide for the team in those situations.
"He's very clever in that regard and talent-wise he's up there with the best. He's done well. We always kind of knew him coming back was a great situation for him, a great situation for us and that it would be seamless, because he's been here before and understands the landscape."
Howard's own zenith in an Everton shirt arguably came in helping David Moyes' men reach the FA Cup final in 2009, his penalty shootout heroics in the semi-final proving the difference against heavy favourites Manchester United.
The keeper is targetting Wembley once again and wants victory over Fulham this weekend.
He added: "It's the FA Cup and we know what it tastes like to be in a final, so that's a huge, huge motivating factor. It's odd to play on a Friday night but it will be at the end of a long working week for the supporters and I think it will be nice to play under the lights.
"I always like to play earlier than all the other teams because it gets the result out of the way and allows you, if you get a good result, to enjoy your weekend and watch the other games knowing that you're going to be in the hat."
Tickets for Everton's FA Cup clash with Fulham are still available priced £25 for adults and just £5 for juniors. To buy yours, click here.

Texas Education Board Is Trying to Infuse Schoolbooks with Ultraconservative Ideology
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Don McLeroy is a balding, paunchy man with a thick broom-handle mustache who lives in a rambling two-story brick home in a suburb near Bryan, Texas. When he greeted me at the door one evening last October, he was clutching a thin paperback with the skeleton of a seahorse on its cover, a primer on natural selection penned by famed evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr. We sat down at his dining table, which was piled high with three-ring binders, and his wife, Nancy, brought us ice water in cut-crystal glasses with matching coasters. Then McLeroy cracked the book open. The margins were littered with stars, exclamation points, and hundreds of yellow Post-its that were brimming with notes scrawled in a microscopic hand. With childlike glee, McLeroy flipped through the pages and explained what he saw as the gaping holes in Darwin's theory. "I don't care what the educational political lobby and their allies on the left say," he declared at one point. "Evolution is hooey." This bled into a rant about American history. "The secular humanists may argue that we are a secular nation," McLeroy said, jabbing his finger in the air for emphasis. "But we are a Christian nation founded on Christian principles. The way I evaluate history textbooks is first I see how they cover Christianity and Israel. Then I see how they treat Ronald Reagan -- he needs to get credit for saving the world from communism and for the good economy over the last twenty years because he lowered taxes."
Views like these are relatively common in East Texas, a region that prides itself on being the buckle of the Bible Belt. But McLeroy is no ordinary citizen. The jovial creationist sits on the Texas State Board of Education, where he is one of the leaders of an activist bloc that holds enormous sway over the body's decisions. As the state goes through the once-in-a-decade process of rewriting the standards for its textbooks, the faction is using its clout to infuse them with ultraconservative ideals. Among other things, they aim to rehabilitate Joseph McCarthy, bring global-warming denial into science class, and downplay the contributions of the civil rights movement.
Battles over textbooks are nothing new, especially in Texas, where bitter skirmishes regularly erupt over everything from sex education to phonics and new math. But never before has the board's right wing wielded so much power over the writing of the state's standards. And when it comes to textbooks, what happens in Texas rarely stays in Texas. The reasons for this are economic: Texas is the nation's second-largest textbook market and one of the few biggies where the state picks what books schools can buy rather than leaving it up to the whims of local districts, which means publishers that get their books approved can count on millions of dollars in sales. As a result, the Lone Star State has outsized influence over the reading material used in classrooms nationwide, since publishers craft their standard textbooks based on the specs of the biggest buyers. As one senior industry executive told me, "Publishers will do whatever it takes to get on the Texas list."
Until recently, Texas's influence was balanced to some degree by the more-liberal pull of California, the nation's largest textbook market. But its economy is in such shambles that California has put off buying new books until at least 2014. This means that McLeroy and his ultraconservative crew have unparalleled power to shape the textbooks that children around the country read for years to come.
Up until the 1950s, textbooks painted American history as a steady string of triumphs, but the upheavals of the 1960s shook up old hierarchies, and beginning in the latter part of the decade, textbook publishers scrambled to rewrite their books to make more space for women and minorities. They also began delving more deeply into thorny issues, like slavery and American interventionism. As they did, a new image of America began to take shape that was not only more varied, but also far gloomier than the old one. Author Frances FitzGerald has called this chain of events "the most dramatic rewriting of history ever to take place."

What Happy Working Mothers Know
Any working mother could tell you that achieving a palatable work/life balance sure ain't easy. I, for one, feel like a wishbone being snapped in half a good 80 to 90 percent of the time.
Vivian Manning-Schaffel: For expert insight on how to make peace with the inability to be in two places at once, I grilled Cathy Greenberg, Ph.D., co-author of the bestselling book, What Happy Working Mothers Know: How New Findings in Positive Psychology Can Lead to a Healthy and Happy Work/Life Balance, for tips on how to turn our frowns of frustration upside down.
Momlogic: What are some of the biggest challenges a working mother faces in terms of her own happiness?
Cathy Greenberg: First and foremost, working mothers don't think of the opportunities they have in a day to find small joys in the things they think of as tasks, or chores. We don't really relish driving in traffic, or taking the subway, or taking our kids to daycare. But one of the things we feel is important, and that we've experienced in our own lives, is if you can find joy in one small thing every day -- whether the sun is shining or you got your kid to school on time -- it helps you start to build a foundation for happiness. If you don't build a foundation for happiness, you are always going to be looking at what isn't satisfying, and that steers you in the wrong direction.
It sounds like such a pansy thing to say. I've had two potentially terminal illnesses, lost a child in my seventh month, and have been through two divorces -- all within a three-year period. I've been there!
For working mothers, especially those who found themselves working during this recession when they had other plans, it's hard to see where that bright spot might be in a day. It takes work! You have to make a commitment to find a little joy in everything you do, every day.
ML: As working mothers, do we get in our own way? Or are the cards stacked against us?
CG: I think the cards are stacked against us to begin with. What generally happens is, women are afraid to ask for help. We feel so responsible in making sure that we do everything for everyone else that we apologize for how little time we have to correspond with someone on a BlackBerry. Stop apologizing for the lack of time you have to take care of everybody else. Your responsibilities are to yourself and your children and your work. If someone doesn't get it, that's their problem -- not your problem.
Unfortunately, many of us have also become ambivalent about ambition. Often we think we can't go for a job or a promotion because we are mothers. Who made that rule? If you can get the right support system in place, you can do it. You have to take responsibility for lining up your support system. It just means we have to ask for help.
ML: In your book, you state that happiness is a choice. Is it really that simple?
CG: Yes, it's simple to make the choice to be happy, but doing the work to support that is hard. We interviewed thousands of working women -- new moms, planning to be mothers, long-time mothers. They knew they had to practice making new choices in order to reconcile happiness to their life.
Whatever choice you make, make sure it's your choice. Happiness is something you can always choose to do. You don't have to have success to be happy. Happiness comes first, success comes after. That whole trap of "I am what I do" has nothing to do with people loving you.
So how can the book's formula for happiness enhance the quality of working mothers' lives? Greenberg broke it down:
H is for Healthy: Find one small thing you can do each day to be healthier, like eat less sugar, or drink more water. If you become aware of the small things you can do for yourself, you'll find strength in the choices you can make. "You have to treat happiness as if it's a health issue," Greenberg says.
A is for Adaptability: It's key to recognize that you can't be all things to all people. Greenberg says to make a concerted effort to look at what you do on a daily basis to see what expectations you can let go of. "Every day isn't going to go the way you planned it," Greenberg says. "If you are someone who needs to control every second of every day, you're going to disappoint yourself. Recognize being a working mother doesn't allow for that level of tenacity."
P is for pride in your work: Greenberg advises we make a concerted effort to acknowledge successes -- even from team members who might not always pull their weight. Find one small win in your work day to focus on for you and your team. Positivity generates positivity.
P is for pride in your family: No one's perfect -- not even our kids. Accept your children for who they are, not who you want them to be. Focus on your kids' strengths, not their weaknesses.
Y is for young at heart: Kids can laugh for hours over a carefree second of silliness. Let yourself take pleasure in the little things. "There's always room for change and growth and opportunities for having fun," Greenberg says. "These are small beginnings you can build on."

Custom Landscaping Drawings and Plans in Birmingham
Most of our Birmingham landscape design drawings are done on-site with pencil on trash paper. The process is simple. We request a plot plan or survey from the client in advance (sent either by fax or e-mail). We take this to a copy center and blow it up to either 10 or 20 scale. In the interim, the client collects pictures of gardens and garden features that appeal to him/her, creates a list of plants that he/she likes and does not like, and thinks about problem and use areas. We schedule a meeting at the client's property for a length of time that will allow an entire landscape design plan to be drawn. This usually takes 3-8 hours and we do charge a design/consultation fee. Once at the clients' house we do a 1-2 hour walk through and discuss the landscape design drawing project. Then we use the scaled plot plan to create a base map adding anything that is not on the original such as trees, slopes, shrubs, decks, etc. Once an accurate base map is created then he fun begins.
Typically we sit down at the kitchen table, overlay the base map with a sheet of trash paper and begin to draw the landscape design drawings based on our earlier walk through. The client is right there so that every item put on the landscape design drawing is done so with input from the owner. At the end of the landscape design drawing session the client has a complete accurate scale drawing with everything on it they require to bid the project. When we leave, we have a check and the owner has a custom landscape design drawing. The next step in the process is for the client to send a copy of the drawing to us so that we can bid the project. We produce very detailed estimates for the project at no charge. Once a specific scope of work is negotiated, the project is scheduled. When we build the project, we use one crew, build one job at a time, don't leave until finished and leave the job picture perfect. All prepaid landscape design fees are refunded to the client at the end of construction. Contact John Russell Landscape Architect today to learn more about our custom landscape design drawings in Birmingham.

|The Vespa Sprint (VLB) was a popular scooter of the 1960s and '70s. Later models (after 1968) sported turn signals and were called the Vespa Sprint Veloce, but were essentially the same scooter with a modified name and electric wiring. All Sprint and Sprint Veloce models used the 150 engine.
Earlier Vespa Sprint scooters used a 6 volt, 8 amp battery. The later (Veloce) model with turn signals requiresd a 6 volt, 11 amp battery. Both versions of the Sprint used 3.50-10 tires.

SALISBURY, Md. - Habitat For Humanity of Wicomico County was out in Salisbury's Church Street neighborhood Saturday, for a community picnic on the lot of a future Habitat home.
Along with free food and face painting, the cookout was a chance for to introduce Habitat's newest program, the Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative (NRI) to area residents.
The Neighborhood Revitalization Program, which was officially launched in March 2013, works to make smaller improvements to existing homes, when constructing a new one isn't the best option.
"Adding in and working with family members that are in the area is much more of a holistic approach and increases the stability of the neighborhood 53:18 having people know that they're able to stay in the neighborhood and can grow in their house and have it be a safe, decent, and affordable place to live," says Alex Delaney, who's over the Neighborhood Revitalization Program for Habitat For Humanity in Wicomico County.
Another reason for the new program, cost. Joan Mulvanny, the executive director for Habitat in Wicomico County says "one of the reasons we're doing the neighborhood revitalization too, is we can reach more people. Our vision is to have a world where everyone has a decent place to live, and that's hard to do if you're building a $100,000 new home.
While building a new home may cost $100,000, the typical revitalization of a home is about $4,000.
Habitat For Humanity in Wicomico County is gearing up to work on another revitalization project in the coming weeks, and will start construction on their 60th home in the near future.

Day 18 - Favorite singer (part 2)
Another beast, but this beast can do everything with his voice. From grind screams ond moans with Fantomas to '60s italian pop song with mondo cane.
Mike now is famous for his experimentation, but I still think that he does really his best when starts to sing in a more tipical "rock" way, as he did with Faith No More first and Tomahawk later… He can do that clear and aggressive like no one else.
When I see Faith No More live last year and they played "Easy" (not my fav song of FNM…) I couldn't believe my ears, because Mike's voice was incredible on that song.
Day 18 - Favorite singer (part 1)
David Yow is the technically worst singer on the planet… but he's the best FRONTMAN ever, a beast on the stage.
He's my hero.
This (crazy) man is probably the reason why i started to play bass
but, this other (big) man is one of the reasons of my current style in playing bass
I love a lot of drummers, like Matt Cameron, Brann Dailor, Dave Grohl, John Stanier, Gene Trautmann, Josh Freese, Jaki Liebezeit, Danny Carey, George Hurley, Brant Bjork, Manfred Merwald,… but the most INSANE drummer that my eyes have ever seen is probably Jacopo Battaglia. I don't know if he's my favorite, but he's really fucking incredible.
I can't choose between my 2 favorite guitar players…
Duane Denison (The Jesus Lizard, Tomahawk)
He have such and incredible style and touch, so sharp and alienating. And he's a great riff-maker.
some example:
The Jesus Lizard - Monkey Trick
Josh Homme (Kyuss, Desert Sessions, Queens of the Stone Age)
The creator of the most muddy and desert wall of sound of all time. Great composer too, with an unique style.
Kyuss - Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop
Day 14 - Favorite album from your favorite artist
Probably I am costricted to bring on the way of my choose on day 1… But, well, I just realized that in the last 10 days i didn't listen to Shellac at all.
It's a strange time for me, I'm a bit tired of the bands that I love, and I put them in stand-by, but I'm not able to find other good music on which I feel to totally focus on.
But friday I decided to dust off Mastodon, and I listened to Leviathan all day. So I'm gonna pick it… Just because is my favourite album from the only band among my favorites that in these days I've been listening to…
(As you can read, my english is not improving at all :D)
Day 13 - Your favorite songwriter
well… listen to the chorus of this song… Do I have to say something else?
Day 12 - A song you used to love but don't anymore
Obviously I still think that is not a bad song at all, I'm only pretty tired of this tune…
Day 11: A Song You Hate
I can't stand that the band that had introduced me in music has really made a fucking ridiclous song like this one…
Day 10 - Favorite classic (over 20 years old) album
Today I have no doubt. And no words.
peel slowly and see…
ps. "Venus in Furs" = best rock song ever. Really.

Yes, the NETs need to be taught, but by who?
Some rights reserved by JanneM
I really don't think there is a overarching answer that can be applied to all learning environments. Schools need to determine how these standards will be addressed, yet aren't schools facing these questions of delegation on a variety of fronts?
Who will teach sex education?
How will students learn to be "greener" citizens?
Who will ensure our students are moral?
There is just too much learning to go around.
Some rights reserved by Phalaenopsis Aphrodite
I joke, yet isn't there a small truth to this. Kids need to learn more and more to keep up in this world. Is there anything they can learn less and less? Ok, maybe binder organization and cursive handwriting are taking a back burner, but I do fear the standard and benchmark jamming sessions that happens under most educators' umbrella of responsibility.
How will the NETs be taught?
There is no one, perfect answer.
Some schools will see that the NETs are covered in the core curriculum, and others will elicit the help of a computer specialist. The best schools will figure out how to empower their students with the knowledge of the NETs without overwhelming them with a deadly case of standards and benchmarks overload. Yikes!
I just hope that whomever is determining how the NETs will be addressed remembers that technology is a tool. A wonderful, exciting, world accessing tool, but a tool nonetheless.
There is so much to learn and…I sometimes miss my red, plastic Trapper Keeper.
