How do you make the realization that you are not your body with out something dramatic happening or slowing seeing it break down?
This would be a very helpful realization I believe, that would help you discover who you really are and help deal with physical ailments and conditions. It seems to happen often for people who are forced to realize this and for those who live a healthy life and have to watch there bodies deteriorate it seems to be a painful realization.
Dec 3 2012: Hi Shane, and everyone who has commented...excellent question indeed! I asked myself how I would approach this if I had not been through my accident. Even though this was my experience, it is not necessary to go through trauma to come to the realization that we have a body, but we are more than our bodies. What is important is to go into the process of enquiry, ie to sit, close your eyes and drop into yourself, asking the question, Who am I if I let go of my beliefs, thoughts, feelings, emotions? These things come and go but what remains? Then ask the question, Who am I? and see what appears.
Dec 3 2012: Dear Janine,
Your experience, and how you move through it, is very inspiring....I'm glad you stayed in the earth school because your demeanor, joy, humor in the face of challenge will no doubt influence many people.Your spirit is indeed unstopable:>)
When I regained consciousness from the near fatal head injury, and was told I would never function "normally" again, I thought.....what the heck does THAT mean for me the rest of my life? I also asked the question....why me? And it did not take long to move to...why NOT me? I also perceive life as an opportunity to learn, grow and evolve as an individual, while contributing to the whole.
As I was moving through the challenge, I often read books and listened to stories like yours, from people who faced UNBELEIVABLE, life threatening challenges. This gave me courage to face my own silly challenges...near fatal head/brain injury...a few cracked ribs...cancer at the same time.....that's nothing compared to what some people face!
I was diagnosed with cancer the month before the head injury, and was supposed to have surgery. We had to wait to see if the body was going to live before schedueling the cancer surgery! Five months later, they figured the body was good enough to face another challenge, so we did the cancer surgery:>) I had also ended 24 years of marriage 3 months prior to the head injury, emergency craniotomy, and cancer diagnosis.
Many times, I asked the question...who the heck am I....what am I? The experience of looking at the body in ICU while I was unconscious, on life support systems, simply added to the question and confusion....who the hell am I? What's going on here? While the body hovered between life and death clinically, I was watching it from another place. When the energy that powers the body came back into it, the condition of the body stabalized, and I believed on several levels that I was going to be ok...I didn't know what ok meant!
We are not ever alone....thanks for your insightful talk:

Dec 3 2012: Thanks Mark,
I did not "skip over" anything at all...thanks for the reminder though:>)
You may notice in my first comment on this thread I wrote...
"I was in a child-like state emotionally/physically and started over again:>)"
I'm not attached to my beliefs at all Mark....I've "started over" several times in my life adventure, and I've expressed that very clearly on several TED sites.
You might want to let go of your belief that you can discredit and/or educate me?
I "take it" as harrassment at this point...you are only discrediting yourself.Dec 3 2012: Mark,
I would like to remind you of a very insightful comment you made on another thread recently.
"Mark Meijer
3 days ago: Why should we ever presume to know what's best for someone else. Moreover, why should we ever presume that the best thing for them is that we lie to them. And finally, why do we believe ourselves when we tell ourselves that the reason for lieing is to benefit someone else, rather than to benefit our own unacknowledged agendas. There is honesty towards other people, and there is honesty towards yourself, which is called integrity. And to my mind, the latter is the important kind of honesty. If we take care of that one, the former will take care of itself."
Comment deleted
Dec 3 2012: Yes, you probably DID see "that coming", because on some level, you are very perceptive.
I'm glad you are "getting over" yourself....as you say, and learning more about how to recognize your own "stuff".
Thank you very much, if indeed you are putting an end to the harrassment. The things you say are not true...that is what makes your comments simply harrassment. YOU might take a look at why YOU need to do that.
I did NOT say you have discredited me. I wrote, clearly...
"You might want to let go of your belief that you can discredit and/or educate me?......you are only discrediting yourself."
I do not perceive you being "ruthlessly honest" with yourself. I observe you trying to "fix" everyone else with your lecturing. WALK YOUR TALK...."BE" what you talk about!
If you really think/feel that I have NOT explored myself with the life/death challenges I have faced, you are only deceiving yourself. When someone is sharing what is in his/her heart, and you have a need to lecture and correct them (which I've observed many times here in TED discussions) that is about YOU, and no one else.
I KNOW that whatever you say has no bearing on the calls I make about myself....I've been trying to tell you that your harrassment is YOURS....it is not mine.
Best to you as well Mark.Dec 14 2012: Thank you Colleen for sharing your story with everyone and your insights also. I do believe we all need to share our stories, for it is only in that context can we have true understanding of our own lives and the collective human condition. :))
Dec 14 2012: Thanks for your reply Janine. I wholeheartedly agree that sharing our stories connects us, and hopefully reminds us that we are all together....not alone. I appreciate you very much.....thanks:>)Dec 4 2012: Janine,
I have a question....
I forwarded your video to a friend, who was just as amazed and inspired as I am with your story. He asked me when your accident happened....he was interested in knowing how far out (years?) you are from the accident and surgeries. Now I am curious too, and cannot find that info here in your bio, or on your web site. Do you want to share that information? Thanks
Dec 14 2012: Hi Colleen, my accident was in 1986, I was training for the 1988 Olympics. My surgeries are ongoing...my body is always in need of a grease and oil change! Of course, there is more to my story than the accident, but I only had 18 minutes. There is a movie on my life, named after my first book, Never Tell Me Never. :))
Dec 14 2012: Thanks again for replying. I LOVE your reference to a "grease and oil change"! I compared my body to my Ford Ranger on this thread...being a "vehicle" which carries me through the earth life experience, which was not well received by one person who apparently got his knickers in a knot about it! LOL :>)
I will get your book and movie....can't wait to read and hear more of your story! One thing I noticed right away with your presentation, is your sense of humor, and that is one thing that helps sustain me with life challenges. I feel that it is helpful to sometimes "surrender" to the reality of the situation, and simply know that the best thing I can do at the moment is simply "BE" to the best of my ability.
This is a quote that I had posted around my house, and read hundreds of times, which brought me back to the reality of the situation, what I could, or could NOT do in the moment....
"Out of its abysses, unpredictable life emerges, with a never-ending procession of miracles, crises, healing, and growth. When I realize this once again, I see the absurdity of my belief that I can understand, predict and control life. All I can really do is go along for the ride, with as much consciousness and love as I can muster in the moment".
(Molly Young Brown)
While some folks may think/feel that "life" is over with life threatening challenges, with an open heart and mind, as you have, we may discover that another kind of "life" is beginning.
Thanks Janine....love to you:>)

Nov 30 2012: I think every time we look at a loved one and see that we love them for something other than their physical appearance or capabilities, the idea that we are not defined by our physical capabilities and disabilities is apparent.

Most of us see easily past the wrinkles and fragility of our aged parents and find that how good or bad their knees may be does not affect how we feel about them.
I assume this is the sort of distinction to which you are refering rather than the level of linking all our behaviors and feelings to neurons firing.

Dec 4 2012: Hi Greg,
I am confused by your statement, and I'm curious....If, in your mind you are your body, what part does your mind, or other parts of "you" play in the "I am"?
I notice on your profile, that you are an "Activist, Artist, Atheist, Athlete, Change Agent".
Is it only your body that you feel when participating in these activities? Apparently not because your "mind" is working to recognize the body?
Dec 12 2012: Colleen, I thought he was saying that we eventually realize that we're more than just physical material, that we're also "spiritual." I tend to downplay the spiritual thing, thinking everything we do is "just physical," "just chemicals." No, I have a brain as well as a body, but my brain is just a mass of physical substances like my body, chemicals and tissue, etc.
Dec 13 2012: Hi Greg,
Thanks for the reply. I tend to "downplay the spiritual thing" as well, because it appears that often, the word spiritual is connected to religion, which I do not agree with.
I agree with what you say about the body/brain being a mass of physical substances, chemicals, tissue, etc.
I also believe that the substances, chemicals, tissues that make up the body and brain are "fueled" by energy. It is scientifically proven that energy runs through the body. I believe that the body is a "carrier" for the energy which is our conscious, subconscious, imagination, instinct, intuition, etc.:>)Dec 3 2012: Have you ever heard of a floatation tank? It is also called an isolation tank, or a sensory deprivation tank. I believe this is a tool that could help answer this question.
Comment deleted
Dec 4 2012: I don't believe it is just helpful for relaxing. That is not many peoples intention "just to relax". It is like meditation. Do you believe meditation is just for pure relaxation? I don't. The tank is like being in a very deep meditation.
Dec 4 2012: Hi Haley,
I have heard about floatation or isolation tanks before, and just now explored a little more. I think/feel it could be a way to help answer this question, and I also think Mark brings up a good point...intent.
As I looked at the videos, I learned that it can indeed be a relaxing/meditative experience, and it can also produce stress/distress in some folks, after a period of time? So, it probably depends on the person and his/her intent and comfort zone, whether or not s/he could use this practice to learn more about themselves and the body/mind?
For me personally, relaxing is very much a part of the meditative state, and I've been doing it for so long, it is not difficult to achieve that state whenever I choose.Dec 5 2012: Valid point!
I agree Colleen it probably does depend on the person.
You have also definitely cleared things up for me Mark, thank you.Dec 1 2012: That's a really great question. It seems that it is the human condition - to adapt, primarily, through experience....our brains learn and wire through repetition. So how could we truly & deeply learn these sorts of lessons without having these types of experienced ourselves? One interesting perspective on this is that of Tibetan Buddhists, who have a multitude of practices around training for death....by definition a once-in-a-lifetime experience (and the ultimate loss of personal identity :-) The Dalai Lama, in his introduction to the recent translation of the complete Tibetan Book of the Dead, says "Normally, in our lives, if we know that we are going to be confronted by a difficult or unfamiliar situation, we prepare and then train ourselves for such circumstances in advance, so that when the event actually happens we are fully prepared. As I have outlined, the rehearsal of the processes of death....lies at the very heart of the path... These practices are part of my daily practice also and because of this I sometimes feel a sense of excitement when I think about the experience of death. At the same time, though, sometimes I do wonder whether or not I will really be able to fully utilize my own preparatory practices when the actual moment of death comes."Nov 30 2012: Hello Shane:>)
One thing that is good to remember, is that the body is very much a part of us as long as we are in human form.
At age 30, I was diagnosed with degenerative disc dis-ease in the spine....generally, a progressively disabling dis-ease. Although I had taken good care of the body, it seemed to be failing. That was the first time I really looked closely at my relationship with the body.
I was in traction for awhile, wore a neck brace, took perscription drugs for pain (only for 3 days.....couldn't stand being drugged), and finally, the doctor suggested that my spine, in the area of the neck be fused.
I faced the question....did I want to live life with limited mobility? I researched wholistic practices. Yes, I spelled it differently because I believe the exploration is about wholeness. It is about genuinely knowing ourselves, our body, and how everything about it functions in balance and wholeness. Like my Ford Ranger, which I maintain well so I can continue to travel, it is also important to keep the body well maintained to continue to travel the life experience. I do not feel that it is good to say we are not our body, because it is an important peice of "equipment", which is a valuable part of the human life adventure.
In using a wholistic approach for the purpose of dealing with the DDD, I learned a LOT about my "self", and with that process, discovered more about balance, which of course helps manage the dis-ease, so it does not imobilize the body. For ten years, I learned, grew and evolved to a point of being very content, and felt stronger emotionally and physically than I had ever felt.
One day I went horseback riding, sustained a near fatal head/brain injury... not expected to live, then not expected to ever function "normally" ...when I regained consciousness 2 weeks later, after an emergency craniotomy and life support systems, I was in a child-like state emotionally/physically and started over again:>)
Know and accept thyself:>)

Dec 1 2012: Dear Mark,
I used a little metaphor there...sorry you missed it. There are no beliefs being manipulated in my life....and I face life with truth....how about you?Dec 1 2012: No Mark....nothing manipulated there....that is my belief. I did not say it is my identity, and I am not lieing about anything. Perhaps it is not YOUR truth, and that is ok...we are all different. To pop in here and tell me I am lying, however, when I share what is in my heart, seems rather odd. The fact that you are trying to argue over a little metaphor seems odd...does that seem odd to you Mark? I care about you and have no desire to argue with you.Dec 1 2012: Thanks Mark,
I appreciate you caring about me and what I need to look into:>) Call it what you will Mark. I don't mind if you want to tell me that I am "selling myself short"....it's ok Mark.
I have been exploring many aspects of life and death for over 60 years Mark, and I KNOW there is still a lot to learn. However, you apparently think that telling you I care about you and I don't want to argue is turning the tables on you because of my own sense of righteous indignation? I'm sure you've heard of projection...look in the mirror, and in yourself darlin'. :>)
Mark, regarding your comment below....yes, I am indeed "doing it again"....addressing your accusations with respect and love in my heart...thank you for noticing:>)Dec 1 2012: Mark,
I notice that you added to your original comment after I responded.
No, I in no way, ever said anything even remotely suggesting that "Janine has got it all wrong"
YOU think about what you are doing here, and why you need to try to create an argument.

Dec 2 2012: May I jump into this conversation? I think that I may be able to bridge an apparent gap in communication.

I am not my body, but I need my body to be here. My body is the steering wheel of the greater me. The steering wheel may be a small part of the vehicle, but without it I could not control the vehicle. If it doesn't function properly, it doesn't serve the "me" that is not my body.
Essential, but a very small part. Not to be discounted in any way, but not to be elevated to a position of superiority.Dec 6 2012: Hi Shane.
In my experience, no one can "make realization" happen.
But I'm really speaking for myself.
It is something that does or doesn't happen.
So too, does the realization of it.
This is true for me and that is how I meditate.
Meditation isn't something I "do". Rather it is something that happens to me
or for me, and being aware of it, I simply find myself in it.
Sometimes it can help by using what is known as "self-talk" such as telling yourself you are not your body until
you find yourself really paying attention to the words, and then examining their meaning in a way you had never done or had never been able to do.
People who pray, but are not used to praying, can find themselves doing this. They sort of pray with resistance, rambling quickly through the prayer and suddenly realize, "hey, that wasn't really praying," so they slow it back down and become more focused on the words, their meaning and so on, and suddenly find themselves in a different place, perhaps mentally, emotionally, spiritually and even physically.
Then, they notice the change that occurred and how it occurred and what they did, and they can remember to try it again.
Thus, you may find it or something like it, like a doorway through which you may more easily and readily pass, without so much effort (as time and practice pass)
Remember that not only are you not your body, but you are not your mind.
Now what are you?
I seem to have spent most of my life in the body of a leaf.
Even though I can see, I have been blind it appears, all my life.
I've lived by my intuition all my life, but haven't trusted it when I did it intentionally. Strange. I understand why today.
I have no idea what any of it means. It has just been pretty mean.
Dec 14 2012: Interesting insights!Dec 4 2012: Dissociation can be cause by drugs or meditation.Dec 1 2012: Hello Shane,
You posed an excellent question and without getting philosophical or spiritual, Janine Shepherd experience is proof of one of the statement's by Napolean Hill "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, It can achieve." Evidently speaking, Janine's body followed her mind and therefore achieved what she desired.
What helps me realize that I am not body is, looking at the results I have in all aspects of my life and if I don't like the results. I question my way of thinking and what it is that my mind is consciously and unconsciously conceiving.
Sending you positing thoughts,
C CabreraNov 30 2012: The body (physical) is simply temporal packaging for the soul (spiritual). If one denies the existence of the spiritual then the body becomes the entirety of who and what one is. The realization you ask about comes only when the supernatural realm is accepted and understanding of it is sought in earnest.

Every Wednesday this summer is Waste Free Wednesday at Courageous Sailing center. This means that on Wednesday's students and instructors compete together as a sailing level against the other sailing levels to see who can create the least amount of trash at lunchtime.
- One point is given for every reuseable item that students and instructors use or any items they bring and plan to reuse, such as Tupperware, plastic bags, silverware utensils, etc.
- One point is also given for anyone who saves any food they do not want to eat at lunch so that they can eat it at another time.
- Points are awarded for any recycled items as well.
- One point is taken away from each sailing level for each piece of trash that they have or any trash that is left behind after they are finished lunch. *Taking away points is an important part of Waste FreeWednesday because it allows sailing groups of different sizes to compete against each other and doesn't just favor larger groups.
- Whichever sailing level has the most points at the end of the day wins a waste-free prize: watermelon!
Encouraging students and staff to begin thinking about how much trash they create at just one meal is an important aspect of any environmental program. Waste Free Wednesdays can be implemented anywhere and are a fun way to learn about reducing trash. Find out more details about how to start your own waste free program here.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Let's settle this...
Who's the best manufacturer of the world's BEST discs?
Innova? Ching? Discraft? Lat 64? Discmania? Legacy? etc...
Choose your words as your battle weapon. If you want to narrow it down to the best DISC in general, bring it. Now... LET'S GET IT ON!
Views: 280
ASk the person to your lefts it's innova!!!!
Ask the person to your right it's discraft!!!!
Ask the person below it's lat 64!!!!
Ask the person up top they say legacy!!!!!!
You catch my drift!!!!!!! It's in the eye of the beholder!!!!!!
If you ask me!! I will say!!!! Depends on which hole I am playing!!!!!
I mine as well give my answer too. I understand to each their own. I can predict the additional responses that will be posted:
"Whatever disc I have mastered for that specific throw..."
"I have a mixed bag, so they are all good..."
"The only disc I'll throw is your mom..."
"_____ is the only disc available where I love..."
Regardless I say Innova comes out on top. For one, we have the Roc, which in my opinion blows the Buzzz away. Also, Innova disc (Valkyrie) held the previous distance record and holds the current distance record (Blizzard Boss). Science backs Innova discs... sure Innova may come out with 10 discs that all have the same flight pattern - but who cares? All in all, Innova is results driven and only succeeds because of it.
What's the worse manufacturer of disc? Just to throw this in there - Ching, hands down.
Going balls deep with this one --DISCRAFT the STALKER. Does every verb in the dictionary.
Correct me if I am wrong but "suck" is a verb and in the dictionary. lol Sorry Dave, I couldn't resist.
It can do that, if thrown right. When I say right I mean wrong.
me. owe, thought you were asking.....
Discraft and Innova just super innovators ...... Any Valk and the Avenger SS ...and the Meteor all get alot of respect from me ....... just fun throwing them ... hoooooooray !!
Lightning Discs Rule!!
You're Nuts!
Perhaps a "better" question would be, who carries the most of which company in their bag. My bag for example has 2 Nuke OS,Two Swords, Rampage, Striker, Buzzz and three pures. My response is Lat 64 withfour of their disc in my bag. I don't like carrying alot of plastic, It's a pain in the back.

Tuesday, July 29, 2003GREENVILLE, S.C. (July 29, 2003) - The Southern Conference football coaches, who have been meeting with the media this week at the league's annual football rouser in Greenville, S.C., have named their preseason All-Southern Conference team. Six student-athletes from East Tennessee State were named among the league's top players. Highlighting the list of first-team selections were defensive backs Tony Tiller (Lithonia, Ga.) and Gerald Sensabaugh (Kingsport, Tenn.). Tiller was recently named to the NCAA Division I-AA All-America team by The Sports Network for the second time in 2003 and was an All-SoCon selection last season. The 6-foot-1 cornerback registered 41 tackles, one interception and eight pass break-ups in 2002, while Sensabaugh played in 11 games for the Bucs, starting nine at safety en route to his first All-Southern Conference selection. Sensabaugh led the team and was second in the SoCon with four fumble recoveries in 2002. Earning second-team recognition for the Buccaneers were defensive back Montreal Harkley (Hanahan, S.C.), linebacker Mike Cornegay (Fayetteville, N.C.) and defensive lineman Brandon Calton (Pennington Gap, Va.), while running back Gaven Varner (Summerville, S.C.) was ETSU's lone offensive player to make the list. Harkley was named All-SoCon last year after leading the league in interceptions. Calton played in all 12 games for the Bucs in 2002 and was second on the team with 10 tackles for loss. Despite missing nearly half of the season due to injury, Cornegay finished seventh on the squad with 49 tackles, including a season-high 13 tackles against The Citadel on Oct. 12. Varner, a 6-foot-1, 230-pound senior, led the team with 599 yards rushing and six rushing touchdowns in his first season at ETSU in 2002. Perhaps Varners best game as a Buc came against VMI last September, when he rushed for 128 yards on just 15 carries and three touchdowns.

Many of us buy fish already filleted or ask our fishmongers to do it, but by buying the whole fish, we can get a lot more out of it. Very little of a fish needs to be thrown out, and if you're familiar with their anatomy, many parts that are usually discarded can be used and are often delicious.
For example, the heads of large fish (monkfish, dentex, grouper, amberjack, skate, etc.), which are usually thrown away, are in fact full of bits of meat that can be used for soups, ragùs and more. Scraps left over from filleting, rich in fine fat, can be used to make pâtés, terrines or stuffings.
The head, bones, fins and unscaled skin (though not the guts and gills, which must be thrown out) can also be used to make fumet, a reduced fish stock with many uses in the kitchen. Fumet can be used in fish braises, in broths for risotto, as a base for sauces or to flavor soups, and has different characteristics depending on the type of fish used. For example, scorpion fish, mullet, weevers, tub gurnard, monkfish and other fish used in soups make a strongly flavored, complex fumet. For a subtler, more elegant fumet, use sole and turbot, or for even greater delicacy, bass or bream. Not all fish can be used for fumet; oily fish like anchovies, sardines and mackerel, for example, are not suitable.
Fumet is simple to make and does not take more than 45 minutes. After washing the bones, head and skin of the fish, put them in a saucepan where chopped onion, leek and carrot have already been sweated in oil or butter. Add a few peppercorns, a bouquet garni (parsley stalks, basil, thyme, bay) and, if you like, a few fresh or dried mushrooms. Add enough water to cover with water, simmer for 45 minutes and strain. The fumet can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days. We recommend making it when you have the fish available and then storing it in the freezer in small containers, or freezing it in ice-cube trays for easy portioning.

crotamiton - topical, Eurax
GENERIC NAME: CROTAMITON - TOPICAL (crow-TAM-it-un)
BRAND NAME(S): Eurax
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: This medication is used to treat scabies. Scabies is a skin infection caused by mites that burrow into the skin. Irritation from the mites leads to severe itching and small bumps/blisters filled with fluid/pus. Crotamiton works by killing the mites that cause scabies. It also helps relieve itching related to scabies and other skin conditions. Crotamiton belongs to two classes of drugs: scabicides and antipruritics.
HOW TO USE: This medication is for use on the skin only. Do not take this medication by mouth. Avoid applying crotamiton on the face, eyes, mouth, vagina, and any skin that is inflamed, raw, or oozing fluid.If you are using the lotion, shake the bottle thoroughly before use.To treat scabies, take a bath or shower before using this medication. Remove scaly or crusted skin by rubbing gently. Then dry with a towel. Massage a thin layer of the cream or lotion into all skin from the chin down to the toes, including skin folds/creases, between the fingers and toes, and on the soles of the feet. Trim fingernails short and apply the medication under the nails since the mites often live there. You may use a toothbrush to apply the medication under the fingernails. Immediately after use, wrap the toothbrush in paper and throw it away. Do not use the same toothbrush in the mouth because it may lead to poisoning.Apply the medication again after 24 hours. Change clothing, towels, and bed sheets the next morning after each application. Wash all clothing, towels, and bedding that have been used in the 3 days before treatment and after each application in hot water and dry in a hot dryer (or dry-clean) to kill all the mites and prevent them from returning. Items that cannot be washed or dry-cleaned should be removed from contact with the body for at least 72 hours.Take a bath 48 hours after the last application to remove the medication from your skin.To treat other itching skin conditions besides scabies, massage a thin layer gently into the affected areas until the medication is completely absorbed. Repeat as needed, as directed by your doctor, usually 2 to 3 times a day.After treating scabies, you may still have itching for several weeks. Ask your doctor about other medications that may help to soothe the itching. Tell your doctor if your condition persists or if it worsens.

LINCOLN — A showcase event like the R.I. Little League Major Division state tournament calls for just the right venue, a spot that's accommodating in every applicable way.
Naturally, the spotlight will shine on the players and coaches hailing from the four district winners – Burrillville, Barrington, Cranston Western and Coventry American. In addition, there's just cause in touting the scene of what figures to be a close and tightly contested double-elimination spectacle.
Beginning this weekend and stretching into next week, Randy Hien Field – officially christened in April 2009 and named in remembrance of the late Lincoln Little League patriarch – will have a firm place at the center of the state's youth baseball faction. It's in the Lonsdale Park section of this town where the final push to qualify for the New England regionals will unfurl – an important step certainly not lost on the event's primary overseers, all of whom are dutifully prepared, organized and chomping at the bit to serve as accommodating hosts.
"Given that this event is so important in determining who's advancing to Bristol, Ct., it should be played on a pristine field such as Hien Field," said John Sharkey, President of Lincoln Little League. "Randy Hien participated in so many all-star tournaments over the years and around all the parts of the state. The generosity shown to us … this is an opportunity to give back to all those leagues."
State Tournament Director and Lincoln resident Steve Guarino concurred with Sharkey by adding, "With this being the first time the 11-12-year-old tournament is taking place at Hien Field, it's certainly a great opportunity for the league to showcase the facility."
One of the promises decreed by Pat Freaney, the head of Rhode Island District IV, was that when the next time came for the district to host the states, Hien Field would get them, no questions asked. Despite fielding teams that typically ruled district and state competition, Lincoln was almost never discussed as a possible spot to serve as a launching point for Bristol – that is until a significant upgrade was made in the town's Little League complex.
"You need a facility that has lights and adequate parking and a beautiful field to play on," said Sharkey about the main items of necessity that were achieved due to the incarnation of Hien Field. "Quite honestly, the district administrator would have never awarded (the states) to us without having a new facility."
Sharkey says the official bid came roughly a year ago and that the intense planning needed to ensure that everything goes off smoothly started taking shape roughly three months ago. One of the first acts of business was formulating a committee that Guarino would head and also include the voices of past Lincoln Little League board members.
As the date drew closer, Guarino says the focus and energy has been channeled in two specific areas.
On the subject of parking and sheer volume of expected spectators on Saturday and Sunday, space is available at St. Jude's Church and Bellows-Falso Funeral Chapel. The town of Lincoln is also supplying a shuttle service that will undoubtedly iron out any additional traffic concerns.
"Otherwise there will be cars up and down the street," notes Guarino.
The other pressing matter is making sure there's enough food and beverage to cover what could wind up being a week-long state tournament. All four entries will play Saturday and again Sunday before the field starts whittling down.
"We have volunteers who are helping with the parking and the concessions. The town is maintaining the field and we have people to help with all the baseball-related activities such as scoring the games, pitch counters, operating the scoreboard and announcers," Guarino said.
Friday night saw tournament leaders roll out the red carpet for a stylish Hien Field meet-and-greet that allowed the players to break down barriers and interact with their peers in a casual setting – one of the time-honored Little League traditions of teams exchanging pins was conducted – prior to the competitive juices taking over. A tent was rented and enough tables and chairs were set up to accommodate roughly 200 people with Guarino expressing gratitude to the local businesses that donated food for the occasion.
"We're going to give them an opportunity to take infield and outfield on Hien Field for a short time," Sharkey said. "Also, the umpires will meet with all the managers and go over the rules for the tournament."
Everything kicks off Saturday at 11 a.m. with Cranston Western facing Coventry American. An official welcome ceremony is on the docket leading up to the 1:45 p.m. contest between Burrillville and Barrington. Sunday will see the two losing teams from Saturday meet at 4:45 p.m. while the winners engage at 7 o'clock.
Monday will serve as an off day before play resumes on Tuesday night at 6:30. After that, the two remaining teams will square off Thursday, and if necessary, a final game will take place Friday.
"There's a whole lot that goes on behind the scenes," said Guarino, noting the committee's role in collecting and verifying the proper paperwork as it relates to the ages of the players and their residence. "We have four terrific representatives so it should be a lot of fun."

text: After 82, the problem became more personnel related. Larry Gordon died in the 82 offseason. AJ Duhe tore up his knee in the 83 playoff game (coincidentally or not, the defense lost the lead late). In 84, Baumhower's back was toast and he was a shell of his former self. Shipp and Brophy drafted 1, 2 in 84 to replace Duhe/Gordon. The 85 trade for Hugh Green who tore up his knee early in the 86 season (I think the infamous 51-45 jet game). Some bad luck and then drafting for need instead of talent made it worse.

Yeah, what a ridiculous idea. The *only* possible move now is claim a typo and say it was 6 yards. Which most people might miss, actually.
Yeah, what a ridiculous idea. The *only* possible move now is claim a typo and say it was 6 yards. Which most people might miss, actually.
I wonder if Florio actually confirmed that it would be indeed a 60 yard field goal try? My guess is, it was a typo on the part of the Dolphins. If not, a head scratcher for sure.
Funny how when I listen to the radio, and I hear one of the commentators, in this case Andy Slater bitch about some stupid contest... it appears in this forum about 5 minutes later.
Once again... just having to find some other reason to pile on how much this organization sucks.
I wonder what it will be tomorrow.
lol, did you see this comment from someone on that article:
This week the Dolphins are honoring the '72 team with a free hat, and they're honoring the Tony Sparano Era with missed 60 yard FG attempts.
If you dont want to try it do then dont. End of story.
Lol it is funny how many people bitched about Philbin micromanaging the players. This is the same thing....who cares! It is a stupid half time show. Maybe if nobody wins the money gets donated to charity or something like that. Either way, nobody who is not at the game will never even know about it. This is so ridiculous. I have seen basketball do full court shots for money. Nobody bitches about that. You waste time complaining about something that you don't even care about....let it go man, let it go!

3 cups
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
1 teaspoon
dried basil
1 teaspoon
onion salt
1 teaspoon
dried parsley
1 teaspoon
garlic powder
bay leaf
1 (.7 ounce) package
dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
1 (5 pound)
rump roast
Absolutely AWESOME!!! The prep couldn't have been easier, and the house smelled wonderful all day. To save others some time, I read most of the 150+ reviews, and here are the most consistent suggestions that I believe made the recipe: 1) Use a chuck roast instead of rump, as it shreds better (and is cheaper!). 2) Subsitute beef broth for the water 3) Double the salad dressing mix 4) After shredding the beef, put it back in the crockpot to cook an additional half hour to soak in the juices.
I only used a 2 1/2 pound chuck roast, but I used the amount of spices called for a 5 lb. one, and it was just perfect. I cooked on low for 10 hours, and around the 8 hour mark I took the meat out to shred it and it was so easy, it practically fell apart. I put it back in and it cooked for another hour and a half along with a couple pepperoncini before we finally got to eat. I served on toasted hoagie rolls with a bunch of optional toppings....sauteed mushrooms, red onion, sliced pepperoncini and sliced roasted red peppers. Then ran the sandwiches under the broiler to melt the extra sharp provolone cheese. My husband was in heaven and if we weren't already married I think this sandwich would have gotten me a proposal!
I had never heard of Italian Beef before, but this recipe makes me want to visit Chicago to try theirs! Thank you for another permanent in our meal rotation!
Not very impressive, I used beef broth and two packets of Italian and it was still kind of bland! It was too expensive to make for the result we got. so disappointed
2180 Ratings
Tasty and flavorful, as well as easy to make. There is an error in the list of ingredients: it calls for a 4.7 oz package dry Italian salad dressing mix. That would be way too much seasoning. The correct amount is a 0.7 oz package.
Originally from the Chicago 'Burbs, I've been looking for a good Italian Beef Sandwich recipe for AGES... and this one is the BEST I've found, by far! It tastes almost exactly like the ones I used to get "back home"... plus it's sooooo easy to make in the crockpot!
I followed the recipe exactly, except I substituted beef broth for the water and added 2 packages of the italian salad dressing mix. I also added a few sliced green peppers to the crockpot an hour or so before it was done. When it was done, I removed the peppers, shredded the beef, and then returned the shredded beef back to the liquid in the crockpot. I then served the shredded beef and peppers on toasted hoagie rolls. My husband and I were in HEAVEN!! :)
Oh, and here's a tip -- make sure you DON'T drain the meat before placing it on the rolls -- the liquid has an AWESOME taste, so make sure you get plenty of it on your sandwich for the best flavor. In Chicago they say "the wetter, the better" when it comes to Italian Beef Sandwiches!!
Made these changes: omitted salt, substituted onion powder for onion salt, used 2 dressing mixes, added 1 1/2 tsp. dried onion, and added 2 beef bouillion cubes to the water. Cooked on low for about 14 hours; shredded meat and refrigerated meat and juice separately overnight. In the morning, I skimmed the fat off the juice, and returned the juice & meat to the slow cooker, along with some chopped green pepper, on high to reheat for a couple hours. Served with horseradish and provolone cheese. Was a hit at our family reunion! Leftovers (if any!) reheat well for a quick lunch.
I moved from Chicago, and the thing I miss most is the food! This is a great recipe for the Chicago food blues. I, too, used the 2 pks of dressing mix (I even use the Italian dressing mix on this site), crushed red pepper, the juice (~1/8 c.) of some sweet and hot peppers, and sliced peppers and onions and serve it on warm Italian bread with mozzarella cheese (with the peppers and onions). The best thing to do is to have it cook in the slow cooker until it is cooked through, then slice it thinly and return it to the juice for about an hour (just like they do at the beef restaurants). It was a hit at my daughter's family birthday party, and took hardly any effort. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE RECIPE!
This recipe was good as is,but I now use it combined with 3 other recipes for french dip and it is great,I use all of the ingredients in this recipe except use only 2 cups of water and leave out both the salt and onion salt,I add 2 cups onion sliced thin sauted in 1/4 cup butter ,1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 can coke[do not use diet or an off brand] 1 12 oz. can dark beer, 1 can beef broth, 1 can condesned french onion soup [campbells is best] I use the zesty soup mix. I try to get at least a 5 to 6 pound roast rump is o.k. if its choice otherwise I use a sirlion tip roast, this is much cheaper and less fat than a regular sirlion. I also add italian seasoning, basil, oregano,thyme,and white pepper. I slice the meat very thin like a french dip. update I have started leaving the water out and adding another can of low sodium beef broth.
Made this for a casual supper last night and all who ate it said it was the best beef sanwich ever. I followed advice of others and used 2 cups beef broth and one cup water; also two packages of Italian dressing mix. My butcher suggested a chuck roast as it shreds more easily for sandwiches. Slow cooked it and served with optional provolone cheese, thin-sliced red onion, mustard/mayo sauce and horseradish. Buy really good fresh rolls. Soooo yummy and sooo easy - THANKS!

Brown Deer teen OK after being hit by car going to school
A 15-year-old Brown Deer boy was taken to a local hospital for non life threatening injuries after he was struck by a car around 7 a.m. today.
According to police, the boy was crossing North 60th Street in the crosswalk at West Tower Avenue when a car driven by a 49-year-old Milwaukee woman struck the boy. The woman, who was driving north on 60th Street told police she did not see the boy. The boy was walking to Brown Deer High School where he is a student.
The pedestrian sustained non-life threatening injuries, including a possible broken leg, and was transported by North Shore Fire Department ambulance to a local area hospital. The parents of the pedestrian were notified.
The vehicle, a 2007 Honda, sustained minor damage and the driver was not injured. The driver was cited for failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk and released from the scene.
Large medical office building proposed in Mequon
Mequon — A developer is planning to build a three-story, 86,000-square-foot medical office building in Mequon next year.
The medical office building, which is valued at $21 million, would be built at the northeast corner of Port Washington Road and Venture Court. The building would be 47 feet tall, which is within the city's zoning code.
The three-building Venture Court retail complex would be razed to make way for the building, which would also occupy undeveloped land to the north. The Venture Court complex, which includes Wooden Goose Cafe and other businesses, has had numerous vacancies in recent years.
The city's zoning code allows medical offices no larger than 20,000 square feet, so developer Ryan Companies is using the city's planned unit development process to build the larger building. Ryan is proposing to break ground in the spring of 2016, with the first medical groups opening in late 2016.
The Mequon Plan Commission on Monday voted in favor of the concept plan and rezoning the property. Final approval is still needed from the Mequon Common Council.» Read Full Article
Shorewood residents feel shut out by school board participation policy
Shorewood — Some Shorewood residents are worried that the Shorewood School Board's new public participation policy will limit their input during board meetings.
The new policy allows each resident to speak for five minutes, and comments are only allowed at the beginning of the meeting. The previous policy allowed residents to contribute their viewpoints as the board discussed each agenda item. The new policy also limits public comment to three people on each side of a given issue, unless the majority of the board agress to make an exception.
The board was prompted to change the policy after the district's previous superintendent Martin Lexmond resigned as to lead the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District. In the process of hiring Lexmond's replacement, two of the candidates told Shorewood School Board President Paru Shah that the school board's meetings "were like a circus," Shah said.
By limiting public comment to the beginning of the meeting, Shah said she hopes the board will be able to have more productive conversations with each other.
Shah has said public comment doesn't have to be restricted to board meetings. She encouraged residents to email school board members or new Superintendent Bryan Davis, and said concerns raised by residents will be addressed at the following school board meeting.» Read Full Article
Deangelo Stewart rushes for 315 yards as Messwood overpowers Nicolet
Shorewood/Messmer football coach Chad Hofmann was in a bit of a hurry after his team's impressive 34-13 victory over area nonconference rival Nicolet on Aug. 28.
His mom, Candy, needed a ride home, and the two probably wanted to celebrate the moment of his first varsity victory.
It would have probably meant more had his Dad, Robert "Rob" Hofmann, been there, too. The day before the win, Aug. 27, would have been Rob's 52nd birthday, but he died tragically about a month ago as a result of injuries suffered in a bike accident.
In short, Chad, an only child, and his mom needed this moment.
"It's a good feeling," Hofmann said. "It was his birthday yesterday, so I can't imagine doing anything better than this (getting a win to honor him). This is very special for me, because he's still here with me, still with the family."» Read Full Article

Menomonee Falls volleyball team opens season with win over Nicolet
After winning the school's first state girls volleyball title in 2013, Menomonee Falls slid under the radar last season following big graduation losses.
Now working with what he calls "his deepest squad ever", Indian coach J.C. Bruns said he likes the idea of his Indians laying low and out of sight for the time being in 2015 too as they prepare to make a run back towards elite status.
The Indians may have a hard time staying quiet for long, as despite missing starting setter Mckenna Micech due to an injury, they still overpowered strong area nonconference foe Nicolet, 25-15, 25-19, 19-25, 25-12, in their season opener Wednesday night.
"I really like this group," he said "It's a nice mix of young and old. The young will push the old to get better and the old will show the young what they have to do out there (to succeed)."
One of the "old ones" will be 6-2 junior outside hitter Mackenzie Robertson. Robertson was a rightside hitter last year, but during the club season with the Milwaukee Sting, she transitioned over to the outside. She has also started playing of a more all-around game and looked as comfortable playing in the backrow as she did in the front tonight.» Read Full Article

Homestead ACT scores top North Shore
Mequon —Homestead High School's class of 2015 tallied the highest district-wide ACT score in the state, according to test results released last week.
Homestead students earned an average ACT score of 25.9, with 91 percent of students taking the test. This is the ninth consecutive year the school has scored a composite score of 25 or higher. The most recent score fell shy of the previous year's score of 26, but the participation rate of 91 percent imarks a five-year high.
"It is reassuring to know that the combined efforts of Homestead High School's students, faculty, staff, and administration continue to produce exceptional results," said Homestead High School Principal Brett Bowers. "With nearly 90 percent of our graduates enrolled in post-secondary education, we strive to prepare all of our students for success beyond Homestead."
Homestead's score is one decimal point above Whitefish Bay, which posted a score of 25.8 with 92.5 percent of students taking the test. This is Whitefish Bay's 17th consecutive year with a score higher than 25. The Blue Dukes averaged a score of 26.7 in 2013-2014, 26 in 2012-2013, 25.9 in 2011-2012 and 26.9 in 2010-2011.
Shorewood students scored an average score of 24.9, with 81.1 percent of students participating. Nicolet, where 84.6 percent of students took the test, earned an average score of 24. Brown Deer scored an average of 20.1, with 72.6 percent participation.» Read Full Article
Medical office building planned for Mequon
A Minneapolis-based firm that is developing a clinic in Mequon for Children's Hospital of Wisconsin is seeking city permission to develop another large medical office building in that community.
Ryan Cos. wants to build a three-story, 86,000-square foot medical office building near the northeast corner of Port Washington Road and Venture Court, according to a city Plan Commission agenda posted Wednesday.
The building would replace Venture Court retail center, which would be demolished, said Kim Tollefson, Mequon community development director. Venture Court includes such businesses as Wooden Goose Cafe and One Choice Mortgage.
That parcel would be combined with a vacant parcel just north of the retail center to create a site for the proposed medical offices, Tollefson said.
Ryan Cos. is seeking a rezoning recommendation and concept plan approval for the proposed development. The commission is to consider that request at its Monday night meeting.» Read Full Article
Shorewood school budget nearly derailed over public comment policy change
Shorewood — The Shorewood School District's 2015-2016 budget barely received approval from residents at the district's annual meeting Tuesday, Aug. 25.
Shorewood residents voted 19-11 to approve a tax levy of $19.7 million, which is a 3.4 percent increase over last year's levy. The residents did not raise any issues with the levy itself, but were expressing their disapproval with a new policy governing public participation at school board meetings.
The new public participation policy, passed Tuesday night during the school board's regular meeting, allows each resident to speak for five minutes, and comments are only allowed at the beginning of the meeting. The policy also limits public comment to three people on each side of a given issue.
The concerns that some residents have with the school board spilled over into the vote for school board member compensation, which is established at the school district's annual meeting every year. The school board president earns $1,300 per year, and other school board members earn $1,000 per year. School board members also receive a free membership to the Shorewood Community Fitness Center.
Resident Nate Cade questioned the fitness club membership, and made a motion to revoke that benefit. The motion failed on a 13-17 vote. Shorewood High School English teacher Mike Halloran was one of the residents voting against the motion.» Read Full Article
Homestead football team learns lessons in loss to Arrowhead
In the high school football expectation game, Arrowhead and Homestead are always going to say getting to Madison and state titles are on their yearly agenda.
Asking that question is about as newsworthy as "dog bites man."
This season, however, in year three of the powerhouses' renewed lid-lifting nonconference rivalry, there can be some adjustments made to those goals. Arrowhead, with about 18 returning letterwinners, can be said to be aiming for the moon while Homestead is holding its breath, with only four returnees and several new coaches to boot.
So, the casual observer should not be surprised that over a span that included the last drive of the second quarter and the first two marches of the third quarter, Arrowhead scored three consecutive times and broke open a close game en route to a 28-14 victory on Aug. 20.
The victory for the Warhawks broke a two-game winning streak for the Highlanders in the renewed series, but Homestead coach Dave Keel was not displeased.» Read Full Article

Exquisite Threading weaves philanthropy into business growth
Glendale — When Anwer Khan started his Exquisite Threading business, he was passionate to share the grooming process that women in his home country of Kuwait have used for centuries.
The practice, which originated in India and Pakistan, shapes eyebrows by twisting cotton threads over the unwanted facial hairs. The precision and care needed to shape facial hair with threads can also be see throughout Khan's Exquisite Threading business, which has expanded in the last six years from a kiosk at Mayfair Mall to seven full-size salons in three states.
"We brought facial threading into the mainstream and made it a household name in Wisconsin," he said. "We started as a cart, but we took it to a level where we said, 'The business is there. Let's make it comfortable for a woman to walk in and give them a certain comfort level where they can be free and relaxed.'"
Last year, Khan spent $1 million relocating his 900-square-foot store at Bayshore Town Center to a 3,500-square-foot store just south of the mall at 5524 N. Port Washington Road, next to Men's Wearhouse. The Bayshore location used to have a two-hour wait for threading services, he said, but the newer store will allow him to serve 12 customers instead of three.
The store employs 120 people, and Khan expects to hire another 20 to 35 employees in the next year.» Read Full Article
Homestead's new field to be ready for play on Friday
Homestead's new multi-sport turf field looks like it will be ready for action this Friday, Aug. 28, one week ahead of schedule and in time for the Highlanders' first home football game against Kenosha Indian Trail.
"There's still a decent amount of work to be done between now and Friday," said Activities Director Ryan Mangan on Aug. 25, "but the contractors are doing a great job, and unless something major happens, the field will be ready."
The field is a gift from Homestead High School Booster Club's Highlander Strong Campaign. The Highlander Strong Campaign donated $1.1 million to the Mequon-Thiensville School District in order to enhance the high school's outdoor athletic facilities. Numerous generous donors helped make the project possible.
Construction on the field began in early July and is expected to be completed Thursday, Aug. 27, in time for the football team to host Indian Trail at 7 p.m. Friday, August 28.
Mangan said he has been impressed with the work of all those involved, including Nicholas and Associates general contractors, H & H Civil Construction (for the excavating) and GreenFields, which is doing the actual artificial turf installation.» Read Full Article
Glendale Little League team wins state title
It was such a highlight in the area athletic scene that even Nicolet football coach Dave Quam took time out from the start of practice to watch the state champion Glendale Little League Juniors 13- and 14-year-old all-star team play late this summer.
But then again, his son, John, was one of the team's pitchers.
"It was a little hectic but fun," Dave Quam said.
The Glendale squad won the 2015 state juniors title with back-to-back victories over the Burlington LL, July 27-28. The team moved on to Central Regional play in Fort Wayne, Indiana, with four games in four days, opening up with a victory against Missouri on Aug. 8.
They wound up finishing 2-2 in the regional tourney to close out their successful season, falling short on advancing by the narrowest of margins on a tiebreaker» Read Full Article

American couples who want to adopt a child in Russia won't be able to once Russia's president signs a new ban into law.
Lawmakers passed the ban earlier this week, which makes it illegal for hundreds of American families to travel to Russia and adopt children there.
A lot of people think this is retaliation ; Russian politicians are upset with President Obama for putting travel and financial restrictions on human rights abusers in Russia.
But supporters of the adoption ban say American adoptive families are abusive and that 19 children adopted in Russia have died since the 1990's.
The United States is the leading adoptive country in the world and most of the children adopted internationally here come from China or Russia.
Collette Marietta and Michael Holmes went through that process to bring their son and daughter back from Russia. They tell HLN's Evening Express about what they saw there and how this new law will hurt American families.
Watch Evening Express weeknights 5-7 p.m. ET on HLN.

This story was updated at 2 p.m. July 30, 2013.
Police have identified the driver and three victims of a single-car collision that damaged part of a Sam's Club store on July 23 in Gaithersburg.
Subinoy Mazumdar, 77, of North Potomac drove from the parking lot into the North Frederick Avenue store around 1 p.m., police said.
A man inside the store, 76-year-old Dimas M. Chavez of Potomac, suffered partial amputation of one leg when Mazumdar's Buick LeSabre crashed through the store's wall and into his leg.
Chavez was flown by Maryland State Police helicopter to R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore with life-threatening injuries, according to police. On Monday, he was in stable condition and "doing well," according to a hospital official. Contacted via a nurse, Chavez declined to speak to The Gazette.
Reached by phone Monday night, Mazumdar said he had "no interest" in speaking about the crash.
Sheila R. Orellana, a 31-year-old Derwood resident who was walking in the parking lot, was struck by the car before it crashed through the store, the release said. She was able to push her 3- and 1-year-old children out of harm's way, said Capt. Jim Daly, a Montgomery County Police spokesman. She was not seriously injured. Reached at her home on Monday, she declined to speak to The Gazette.
Boyds resident Thuan Bui, 33, was also hit by the car inside the store and taken to Suburban Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Daly said the store has video cameras on the property that may be able to show what happened.
Detectives are interviewing Mazumdar, who was not injured, according to a press release from Montgomery County Police. The crash is still under investigation, and as of Tuesday, no charges have been brought against Mazumdar, according to Montgomery County Police spokeswoman Blanca Kling.
Gaithersburg Planning and Code Administrator John Schlichting said July 23 one of the city's building inspectors was sent to the scene to assess the damage. The inspector issued a notice that said the damaged emergency doors must be fixed before the store could re-open. Matt Kelleher, a Gaithersburg fire inspector, re-inspected the site July 24 and allowed Sam's Club to reopen for business. The store's food court has since re-opened, a store employee said Tuesday.
Staff Writer St. John Barned-Smith contributed to this report.

Who decides what is to be scheduled?Historic Scotland deals directly with all matters affecting scheduled monuments, on behalf of Scottish Ministers. The final decision on what is scheduled rests with Historic Scotland.
How are sites selected for scheduling?Most scheduling takes place as part of a rolling programme focusing on those parts of Scotland that appear to be under-scheduled, and where scheduling will most quickly make a positive difference. Historic Scotland may commission thematic research to inform this analysis.
How are sites assessed for national importance?Historic Scotland assesses monuments against guidance and criteria set out by Scottish Ministers. This takes account of a wide range of factors, including artistic, archaeological, architectural, historic, traditional, aesthetic, scientific and social.
Is scheduling the same as listing?Scheduling is not the same as listing, which is designed to protect historic buildings and structures and is an entirely different legal process. However, both provide a foundation to ensure the management of change is informed.

It's time to round up the usual suspects — Neiman Marcus, Hammacher Schlemmer, MindWare, Williams-Sonoma, Signals, Vermont Country Store and all those other holiday catalogs that have been breeding in the mailboxes since November. It's time to look at what this year's wad of wish books offered kids and adults.
Over-the-top fantasy presents always intrigue with Neiman Marcus living up to its reputation once again. This year's NM ultimate item was a dinner at the gift buyer's home, prepared by four world-famous chefs and served with personalized bottles of spirits at an attention-getting cost of $250,000.
Of course, that's for 10 guests, including the host. NM evidently doesn't believe that too many cooks spoil the soup.
Toys always make up a large part of the merchandising pie during the holidays with some, like the American Girl dolls, having their own individual catalog of clothes and accessories. Lovely though they are, these 10 little fashionistas, each representing a period of American history, have champagne appetites that can quickly max out a parent's credit card.
There are even "accessories" for the accessories. A $110 stable nicely accessorizes a $75 pony. Also available are a $48 cello with pretend rosin; a $28 allergy-free, pretend lunch with medical bracelet and allergy stickers; and a $20 stuffed pet bunny to nap on a $125 four-poster doll bed. Sleepover accessories for times the dolls have doll friends over include a pretend popcorn bowl and two faux drinks.
No need to imagine. It's already available, ready for free shipping perhaps.
For those looking for silly stuff this year, there are carlashes. Eight inches long with adhesive backing, carlashes can turn ordinary headlights into sirens of the night. To ramp up the wattage, faux diamond eyeliner is also available for extra sparkle. Can Botox and implants be far behind?
For this year's travelers, there are options of near mythic proportions. A poncho, made of Tyvek (what houses are wrapped in) and printed with a world map, might come in handy as a backup GPS for those who can't find Italy.
The ultimate offering, however, has to be an air purifier that, reportedly, filters 875 percent more air pollutants than comparable purifiers and creates a 3-foot sphere of cleaner air around the traveler by emitting a constant stream of negative ions that forces viruses, bacteria, pollen and dust away from the traveler's face — and right into that of his/her seat mate.
What was new this year was not the merchandise itself. What was new was the amount and intensity of the marketing. No way should Christmas promotions ever follow political election campaigns. Advertisers just kept up the "More is Better" philosophy, apparently having no faith that "A little dab will do you."
Emails. Fliers. Cards and coupons. Catalogs flooded our homes. They arrived in multiple copies. They arrived with the same insides but with different covers — the way James Patterson has marketed his novels.
Emails seemed to be ads for catalog advertisements. Coming soon. Look for it. It was not unlike the Social Security office that mails you a letter saying they will call you at 11:12 on Friday. And they do.
This was the year the tipping point tipped. It was the deluge that did it, the constant stream of messages, the multiple bands of Web crawlers, the computer pop-ups, the hype, the fast talk, the loud and just plain rude talk, the messages that blast on just as you lift the hose at the gas pump, the ad that starts talking to you as you pass the salsa shelf at the grocery store.
It is clear. We aren't in the land of a little blue-light special anymore.
