Born Twice
By Editorial Staff
Published December 1, 1991
An experimental – and controversial – procedure for treating a crippling birth defect in the womb offered Trish and Mike Switzer the only chance that their daughter would walk like other children. But the fetal surgery posed a fatal dilemma: Their baby could die before she was born.

"It's a girl," said the technician operating the ultrasound machine, pointing at a computer screen that showed a tiny fetus wiggling inside the uterus of Trish Switzer.
"A girl?" said Trish, squeezing the hand of her husband, Army Maj. Mike Switzer. It was May 21, 1999, and Trish, expecting her first child at 34, was on an examining table at a prenatal clinic in Richmond undergoing the standard sonogram given to women around the 18th week of pregnancy. "A little girl?' Trish asked again.
A minute passed as the technician kept studying the screen. Then another minute. Then several more. "Let me get the doctor," said the technician softly, heading for the door.
What happened next was the nightmare dreaded by every couple expecting a child. A doctor walked into the room and said, "There are some problems." The sonogram showed that the spine had not developed properly, leaving a small lesion on the lower half of the spinal cord. Because of the defect, fluid could not circulate properly in the fetus's brain, resulting in a condition called hydrocephalus, a leading cause of brain damage. Already, the cerebellum, in the back part of the brain, had been squeezed down toward the neck. "No one can predict the outcome," the doctor said, "but your child could be incontinent, paralyzed, perhaps even mentally retarded." He paused. "I need to let you know that you have the option of genetic termination?
"Genetic termination?" asked Trish, trying to keep her voice in control.
"Yes. Terminating the pregnancy."
It is a scene played out thousands of times a year: young couples, hoping to share their love for each other with a child, suddenly faced with a shattering new reality. The Switzers' unborn daughter was afflicted with spina bifida, one of the most crippling of birth defects, which affects about 2,000 newborns a year in this country. (Estimates are that at least another 2,000 fetuses diagnosed with spina bifida are aborted every year.) Typically, spina bifida babies receive surgery within 48 hours after birth to close the opening on the spinal cord. But by then, most of the damage has been done. Although some spina bifida babies with lesser lesions can grow up to live relatively normal lives — walking with braces, controlling their bowels and going to regular schools — many are confined to wheelchairs, suffer from learning problems and must endure several operations during their lifetime to have shunts placed inside their brain to drain the excess spinal fluid that causes hydrocephalus.
"I suppose, like all new parents, we had imagined ourselves having the perfect child," says Trish, who met Mike in 1996 at the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland. A civilian with bachelor's and master's degrees in engineering, Trish was at Patuxent training as a flight-test engineer. Mike, 35, a broad-shouldered West Point graduate, was there training to become a test pilot for experimental military aircraft. Mike had even submitted his application to NASA to become an astronaut. "We kept saying, 'How did this happen to us?'" he recalls. "We were military types. We planned for everything. And then came this one act of, well, randomness."
After looking at the image of the fetus in the sonogram — "this little helpless girl with a little tear in her back," says Mike — they decided they could not go through with an abortion. They gave her a name: Sarah Marie Switzer. But they were unsure what to do next. "When I was alone, I'd whisper to her, 'Come on, Sarah Marie, you can get better,'" says Trish. "Then I'd throw myself down on the bed and sob myself to sleep."
A few days after the diagnosis, Trish's mother called to say she had found a Web site set up by the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. Two doctors there had been attempting a daring new surgery, operating on spina bifida fetuses three to four months before the normal delivery date and sewing up the lesions while the fetuses were still in their mothers' wombs. Although it will take years of further research before they can have conclusive results, Dr. Joseph Bruner, 46, an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology, and Dr. Noel Tulipan, 48, a quiet, well-regarded pediatric neurosurgeon, were claiming that the operations — at that point there had been fewer than 50 — seemed to prevent at least some of the damaging consequences of the defect. Some of the babies didn't develop the kind of hydrocephalus that required shunts; others had more feeling in their legs than doctors originally expected; still others had no bowel problems.
The jubilant Switzers immediately E-mailed Bruner to discuss going to Nashville. But as the couple was about to discover, the surgery did not come without significant risks. In fact, the Switzers were about to embark on a journey that would test their faith not only in modern medicine but also in themselves. As Bruner gently told the Switzers in their first face- to-face meeting in June: "If you do not do the surgery, your baby will be born alive and could well well live a productive life. But if you go into contractions during surgery and deliver the baby prematurely — and there's a chance you will — your baby could have some very serious problems and perhaps die. This is the dilemma for you: Whether the chance at a better lifestyle for your daughter is worth the risk of her death."
When Bruner came to Vanderbilt in 1990, he was relatively unknown in the circles of academic medicine. After receiving his M.D. from the University of Nebraska, he had worked as an Army doctor at several military bases, where he specialized in analyzing sonograms of fetuses with birth defects "mainly because there was no one else around to do it."
At Vanderbilt, Bruner spent much of his time working on the more difficult deliveries. One afternoon in 1992, in a hospital hallway, he met Tulipan, who had trained at Johns Hopkins University and had treated many spina bifida patients since coming to the medical center in 1985. Tulipan believed that if a spina bifida lesion could be repaired before birth, then at least the spinal cord would be protected from further nerve damage whenever the fetus bounced against the uterine wall. "The idea," Tulipan recalls, "was that we could prevent enough of the secondary injuries, so that more spina bifida children would have a chance to walk." The ambitious Bruner, who had been looking for an opportunity to try his hand at fetal surgery, suggested the two of them start working together.
For two years, the doctors stayed at the medical center late into the night, operating on the fetuses of pregnant sheep. In 1994 they received approval from the hospital's review board to operate on human fetuses endoscopically, inserting tiny surgical instruments, along with a miniature camera and light source, through the uterine wall. They tried four such operations, but because of technical limitations — it was difficult to see through the souplike amniotic fluid in the uterus — the results were disastrous. Two fetuses died and two were delivered prematurely.
Undeterred, Bruner and Tulipan returned to the review board in 1997 with another proposal. This time they would remove the uterus through a cesarean incision, place it on the mother's abdomen, then cut it open and remove the amniotic fluid so they could work directly on the fetus and repair the lesion. When finished, the doctors would replace the amniotic fluid, sew up the uterus, put it back in the mother's belly and let the pregnancy continue.
As word about the new procedure spread, Bruner and Tulipan found themselves attacked by some who thought they were playing God. One man with spina bifida, who walks with the aid of braces and is engaged to a woman with spina bifida, wrote to the Vanderbilt Web site: "I wouldn't have wanted my mother to risk my life in an effort to make me 'perfect.' My life has been and continues to be VERY rewarding."
The more common response came from parents-to-be who were willing to do almost anything to keep their children from a crippling disability. Trish and Mike Switzer traveled to Nashville in June, even after learning that their insurance company would not commit to cover the $30,000 cost of the operation and hospital stay because fetal surgery was considered experimental. Nor would the insurance company agree to pay any medical costs that might arise as a result of the surgery. "We'll go into debt," Switzer told Bruner. "I don't care."
"When couples arrive here, they are deeply, deeply wounded," says Susan Bauman, a social worker at Vanderbilt who counsels those about to undergo the new surgery. "Some have made bargains with God, promising to do such-and-such if their baby is healed. They tell me they are praying for a miracle, that their baby can be like every other baby, and I tell them that maybe the miracle is that God will give them the strength to cope with whatever comes. And then there are mothers who don't pray for a miracle but feel they must go through the surgery — who must put their own life on the line — as a way of paying penance for not producing a healthy baby."
Trish admits she came to Nashville "feeling that I had failed my daughter, and that maybe this was a way I could help her." Bauman, Bruner and one of Vanderbilt's medical ethicists met with Trish and Mike to remind them that there was no guarantee the surgery would provide any significant medical benefit to their baby. They were also reminded that the stress from the surgeries had caused all the mothers to deliver their babies a few weeks prematurely. Although none of the babies had suffered significant trauma, there was always a danger in premature delivery. To emphasize the point, a doctor gave the Switzers a sobering tour of Vanderbilt's neonatal intensive care unit, where infants born before 30 weeks were hooked up to oxygen tubes.
Only once did their resolve seem to waver. Because Trish hoped to correct the lesion as soon as possible, in order to prevent more problems from developing, she had wanted to schedule the surgery for the 23rd week of her pregnancy. As a nurse reminded the Switzers less than an hour before Trish was wheeled into the operating room, if she delivered during surgery, it would not be possible for the doctors to keep such a young baby alive. "If there is a delivery, would you like me to wrap the baby up and let you see it?"
"What do you mean?" asked Mike.
"Well, her heart will keep beating for a while," the nurse said, and then she paused.
Both Mike and Trish broke into tears. "It won't happen to Sarah Marie," Mike said, holding his wife. "It won't happen."
In fact, the one-hour surgery went off without a hitch. Bruner made an incision, pulled out the football-size uterus, used an ultrasound to study the baby's position and carefully made a small cut. Then he stepped aside for Tulipan to operate on Sarah Marie's spine. Although the operation had nearly become routine for the two doctors — Brunen predicts that within a decade the surgery will regularly be performed at hospitals around the country — there still came a moment of awestruck silence when they peered into Trish's womb to stare at life before birth.
Brunen reached down and lifted Sarah Marie's hand out of the uterus. "She's going to be beautiful," he said.
Weighing four and a half pounds, Sarah Marie Switzer was born on August 22, almost two months after her surgery. Before she was carried to intensive care, she was briefly given to her mother, who whispered, "My baby." Sarah Marie was nine weeks premature, but to the amazement of the pediatricians, she was so healthy she was allowed to leave the hospital in early September. Over the next weeks, she was checked by a variety of specialists. Although there was no sign of pressure on the brain from excess fluid, her head was growing at an accelerated rate, indicating that she might later require a shunt. Her feet were somewhat misshapen and seemed weak, indicating that she might need braces for walking. But she was kicking her legs, a rare act for a spina bifida baby, and she seemed alert and happy.
"It's impossible to say what the surgery did or what it didn't do," Trish said as she, Mike and Sarah Marie prepared to move into a new house near the Patuxent base, where they originally met and where Mike was now going to work as an instructor. "We didn't have a miracle, no, but at least we tried. We tried to make things different." For a moment, her voice wobbled. "I never want us to look back on our lives and think we passed up the one opportunity we had to give our daughter a chance to walk like other children, to go running, to glide down the aisle on her wedding day.
Despite the anxiety of the past several months — despite the questions that still surround Sarah Marie's future — Trish and Mike remain imbued with hope. As a matter of fact, Mike sat Trish down in October and brought up the subject Trish figured they would not be discussing for at least several more months. Mike suggested they start thinking about when they would have another child.
For a while, Trish said nothing. Then she smiled and said, "I'd like that."

This photo became the center of a controversy when the Fox News cable channel canned talk-show host Matt Drudge. The cyber-pundit, who broke the Monica Lewinsky story, was tossed in November after refusing to tape his weekly show. Network execs had refused to allow him to show the photo, claiming Drudge planned to use it to further his anti-abortion agenda; he cried censorship and walked.

> Is it stinky? That looks similar to some here that truly smell like there
> is a dead body in the yard. OY!
Hi Andrea,
I couldn't detect any odor, but the taste wasn't so good.
OK, just kidding about the taste part. :) I didn't try it. Although
I understand that stinkhorns are supposed to be edible.
I must've caught it just as it was dying. From what I understand, the
cap is covered with a really foul-smelling slime that contains spores.
Flies come to eat the slime and carry the spores away with them.
Once the slime is all eaten the odor is gone and the fungus dies. I
think this must be the state that I caught it in.

Myself and Tinsley were worrying about Nai, hoping she would be ready to get off when the time came. We alighted at Varkala and wondered down the platform, praying Nai hadn't slept through and missed the stop. We found her and she had had a wonderful time, meeting an Indian family who shared dinner with her. We found ...

Firefly Cardigan
This pattern is available from interweavestore.com for $5.50.
This pattern is from the book Crochet in Color which is also available as an eBook.
An unusual color is enough to make a flattering shape stand out. When I saw this green-yellow laceweight wool/silk yarn in a store in Philadelphia, I thought all it needed was some interesting shaping to make a pretty cardigan. It is tightly gathered at the waist in one spot on the back and each side of the front with nicely shaped armholes and a slight puff on the sleeves. A narrow lace pattern fills the edging and collar, and only half-double crochet is needed to work the body.
Tapestry needle; straight pins; seven 3⁄8" (2 cm) round buttons.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) assured the public that air services were safe last night, despite the emergency grounding of RAF training flights following the discovery of volcanic ash. Responding to the decision to suspend flights of the £69m Typhoon jets to check for the presence of volcanic particles, Britain's air regulator said commercial airlines had made "no reports of damage to [commercial] planes".
The existence of ash in the Typhoon, stationed at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, echoed the damage done to a Finnish Boeing F-18 Hornet, which collected sharp volcanic dust following a test flight last Thursday. The Finnish air force released pictures of the engine, saying: "The images show that short-term flying can cause substantial damage to an aircraft engine." Last night, the Ministry of Defence sought to downplay the threat to passengers, saying the ash had not caused any damage. "These are very high-performance jets so they are just being extra-cautious," a spokesman said, adding operational flying would continue.
The CAA said there would be no change to passenger flights as a result of the RAF's "precautionary measure". Commercial flights resumed on Wednesday following the end of a six-day no-fly zone – imposed because of concerns that the ash cloud spewing from an Icelandic volcano would cause jet engines to stall.
Revised airspace guidance for civilian aircraft drawn up this week requires airlines to make damage inspections before and after flights and to report any ash-related incidents to the CAA.
The regulator said there had been "only a very few reports from airlines and, of these, all related to visual sightings". A spokesman said: "There have been no reports of damage to aircraft", stressing that military engines were very different to those on civilian planes.
Airline services almost returned to normal yesterday, allowing thousands of weary Britons stranded abroad to return to the UK. As they returned, Ryanair's combative boss Michael O'Leary reversed the policy he set out in the preceding two days of not reimbursing passengers for hotel rooms and other expenses, in direct contravention of EU law. Mr O'Leary, who had been offering only a refund of fares, said: "If a claim is reasonable, it will be reimbursed. If it isn't, it won't."
He added: "The events of the past seven days, under which Europe's airlines were prevented from flying by the closure of European airspace, highlight how absurd and discriminatory the EU261 regulations are towards Europe's airlines. While ferry, coach and train operators are obliged to reimburse passengers' reasonable expenses, this reimbursement is limited to the ticket price paid to those operators."
He estimated that the airports' shutdown would cost Ryanair between £26m and £30m.
CAA spokesman Richard Taylor said the regulator had emailed Rynair yesterday before the airline's U-turn, reminding it of its legal obligations under the Air Passengers Rights Charter. Passengers would have had to challenge Ryanair in the courts to overturn the policy, but the CAA could have brought its own legal action.
Lord Adonis, the Transport Secretary, welcomed Ryanair's "revised statement", saying the Government and the CAA had told Ryanair "in the strongest terms" that it was expected to comply with the EU regulations. Mr O'Leary responded: "We have caved in to the pressure in the newspapers and from our own customers. We've said we'll comply now, but it's not because of any pressure from some idiot politician."
In the wake of the controversy, Shadow transport secretary Theresa Villiers said a Conservative government would conduct a review of rules governing air passengers' compensation and insurance. In a poll of 2,000 UK travellers by the travel website TripAdvisor, 26 per cent said they thought aviation authorities had overreacted to the dangers posed by the ash, while 68 per cent believed the right decisions had been made.
A cruise to remember?
In ordinary circumstances, passengers would celebrate joining the £1,000-a-week cruise liner Celebrity Eclipse but yesterday they were cursing their bad luck. Instead of arriving fresh-faced and full of expectation on the new £500m ship, which will cruise round the Med and Scandinavia this summer, 2,200 holidaymakers were bedraggled and angry after days of uncertainty and long coach journeys.The boat had been sent to Bilbao in Spain to rescue package holidaymakers with Thomas Cook, TUI and Co-Op Travel Group stranded by the no-fly zone. A fleet of coaches pulled up at the quayside with passengers, who were given £40 each by the companies to spend on the five-star ship during the 30-hour voyage. Prison officer Kev Whitley, 55, from Lincoln, was supposed to return from a holiday in Fuengirola, Spain, on Sunday and described the 14-hour coach journey to the ship as "chaos" – with the coach driver getting lost. Andrea Carlie, 59, from South Anston near Sheffield, said she and her husband David had been treated badly by the travel company Thomson during their seven days. "They have traipsed us about. We have not been told the correct information. We have been treated like cattle," she said. "Thomson have taken the cheapest option and now they are trying to make a publicity stunt out of it, saying how generous they are, but I'm told they are not paying for it." But not everyone was unhappy. George Brash, 48, from Liverpool, said people were "moaning for moaning's sake" and was very happy with his treatment.

none of those ads that you posted are the same idea, at all.
just because they use old people doesnt mean the idea is the same.

perfect connection to the product and a funny yet touching (not in your face) way of saying it.
no matter how old it gets, it stays young. perfect.
I totally agree certaintly. I don't know why they posted those, using similar imagery doesn't automatically make an idea the same. And the nails one is not the same either, totally different products. Just because the "benefit" is somewhat similar, doesn't mean the concept or even the basic message is the same.

The closest dealership to where I live is 1 1/2hrs away so I cannot run it to the dealer all the time for issues. I want a reliable nice used VW. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen Essential Southern Recipes Posted by: Aaron Stearns | 0 Comments
In last week's food column, Kelsey Winchester held forth about the power of Easter Ham. Indeed, if you've not read her ode to Granddaddy Winchester's creation, it is worth visiting. More than one Bourbon and Boots reader has admitted to wishing away the last of these Lenten days so that they might be nearer to not only the Lord, but to that feast. To round out that Easter meal, we'd like to suggest a few recipes from Matt & Ted Lee's new cookbook, The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen.
In their two earlier books — The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook and The Lee Bros. Simple Fresh Southern — the authors explore the broader realm of their Southern roots. Showing obvious favoritism for such low-country ingredients as Carolina Gold rice and cowpeas, each recipe reveals a nod to their native low-country cuisine. But, in this third tome, the brothers have completed what feels like an epicurean love letter to the Holy City that helped raise them. Sandwiched between recipes for Deviled Crab and Skillet Whiting, Salt-Baked Sheepshead and Syllabub, are glimpses into that life of a true Charleston local. What fun to read about the guinea fowl of Lamboll Street (page 196) and meet characters like Captain Junior Magwood (page 138) and Thomas Blackman, Jr. (page 162). What's more, you'll even find a "Charleston and Environs Driving Tour" map, featuring geographic origins of several of the book's recipes. Lest we feel outmatched in our abilities to reproduce the smothered pork chops (page 182), we can set the GPS for Bertha's Kitchen on Meeting Street and never go hungry.
With a bibliography that spans a full four pages, Matt & Ted Lee have clearly done their homework. And yet it is the reader who will reap the benefits of this thorough undertaking. So, should you endeavor to recreate that Winchester Ham this Sunday, might we suggest a few of the Lee Bros.' recipes to complete your Forty Days' abstention of all-things-delicious. Herewith, our suggested favorites:
Boiled Peanuts
Makes: 4 pounds, enough for 8 for snacking
Time: 8 hours soaking, 8 hours boiling, 2 hours cooling
Boiled peanuts, perhaps more than any other Southern snack, inspire a kind of intense cultural loyalty, one that crosses all lines of class and race. That may be why we missed them so when we moved away from Charleston to colleges in Massachusetts, and it's why, when we began to sell Southern foods by mail order after college (our liberal arts degrees be damned), we used the boiled peanut as the keystone in our little mail-order foods catalogue, which we named "The Lee Bros. Boiled Peanuts Catalogue" (boiledpeanuts.com). Boiled peanuts are associated with the outdoors, and can be purchased in the Charleston area by the side of the road from vendors set up in vacant lots and sandy strips on the way to the beach, adjacent to the ballpark, or at fairgrounds. They are prepared in homes as well, but rarely seen in a restaurant setting (with a few exceptions these days: Hubee-D's, Hominy Grill, The Bar at Husk, and The Wreck).
Like the ungainly name, the damp boiled peanut itself presents a few obstacles to universal enjoyment. Not everyone likes their distinctive grassy flavor or the clammy wetness on the fingers as one picks them apart—and they achieve some exclusivity by being challenging in that respect. Judged on flavor alone, with an open mind, they are divine. And the smell of peanuts boiling is, to us, part of the pleasure of the process. Our grandmother's landlady, the late Elizabeth Jenkins Young, once remarked to us (in her sonorous variant of the Charleston accent, with a sea island cadence from an upbringing on Edisto Island) that the smell of our peanuts boiling on Gran's stove reminded her of a "sweet potato gone sour." Not that she didn't like them; she proudly displayed her I BRAKE FOR BOILED PEANUTS bumper sticker in the back window of the blue VW Rabbit she won at the 1983 Spoleto Festival auction. But the earthy quality of the peanut, which grows underground and is full of minerals, and the sweetness of it, does in fact suggest the basic character of a sweet potato.
When peanuts are freshly dug, and refrigerated like a fresh vegetable rather than dried, they are called "green" peanuts; and these, when available (usually in the summer months and into the fall), are worth seeking out for their extra tenderness—cut about 4 hours off the boiling time below—and subtlety of flavor. Some green peanuts will be slightly immature, and like a soft-shell crab, may be eaten whole, shell and all.
1½ cups salt, plus more to taste
2 pounds raw peanuts in the shell, or 3 pounds green peanuts
1 In a 10- to 12-quart stockpot, stir ½ cup salt into 2 gallons of water until the salt dissolves, and add the raw peanuts. Use a large dinner plate or two to help submerge the floating peanuts. Allow to soak for 8 hours or overnight. (This step saves a little time boiling, and thus fuel, but if you don't have the luxury of time, skip this step. Skip it also if you're using green peanuts.)
2 Drain the soaking water and fill the pot of peanuts with 2 gallons of fresh water and the remaining cup of salt. Note the level of the water on the side of the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, for 6 to 8 hours (or 2 to 3 hours for green peanuts), keeping the water in the pot within an inch or so of its original level with regular additions of water, until the peanuts are soft as a roasted chestnut or softer.
3 When the peanuts have boiled for 3 hours (or 1 hour for green peanuts), sample them to check their texture and salinity. Remove a peanut, and when it is cool enough to handle, crack open the shell and give the kernel a chew, slurping some brine with it. If the peanut crunches, it should be cooked further. If the brine lacks enough salt, add by ¼-cup amounts; if it is too salty, remove a portion of the water and replace with the same volume of fresh water. Allow an hour for the salinity to equalize before testing again. Sample every hour until the peanuts are pleasantly yielding and as salty and appetizing as a good pickle.
4 When the peanuts are cooked to your satisfaction, turn off the heat and allow them to cool in the pot for an hour (or 30 minutes for green peanuts). When cool enough to handle, drain and eat immediately or store in the shell, in a sealed container, in the refrigerator or freezer. (Boiled peanuts will keep for 7 to 10 days in the refrigerator and for several months in the freezer.)
Skillet Asparagus with Grapefruit
Serves: 4
Time: 25 minutes
This recipe romances March in Charleston, a stellar month: the asparagus we get from Johns Island is at its slenderest, tenderest peak; the grapefruits are just falling off trees downtown, on their way out of season. The house and garden tour season is in full swing with azaleas, dogwoods, and lilies in full bloom; the camellias are just over the hill, going out with a bang, dropping explosions of petals on the flagstone.
In the Charleston vegetable pantheon, asparagus typically takes a back seat to the collards, shelled peas, and squashes, but it shouldn't. In the 1880s, a settlement of French immigrants in Mount Pleasant, just across the Cooper River from Charleston, established a commercial asparagus farm whose harvest became in short order the priciest, most sought-after asparagus available in the urban markets of the North. We're guessing the reason for its popularity was that it was grown close to the Cooper River; our own favorite local asparagus comes from the vegetable garden of friends of ours, about 300 yards from the creek bank, and we swear that the salty air gives the stalks a quality that makes them tastier than most Central American or California-grown grocery-store spears.
This recipe will make your asparagus shine wherever it hails from. We simply char the asparagus to smoky lusciousness in a large skillet, then strew grapefruit segments over it with a vinaigrette made with the sweet-and-sour juice left over from segmenting the fruit.
1 grapefruit, preferably a ruby variety
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon canola, vegetable, or grapeseed oil, plus more if necessary
1 pound medium asparagus, trimmed of any woody ends
Freshly ground black pepper
1. With a zester or Microplane grater, scrape some grapefruit zest from the skin of the fruit for garnish, and reserve. Segment the grapefruit: trim off the bottom and top of the fruit with a knife so that you have a flat surface upon which to rest it as you peel it. Peel the fruit by placing the tip of a sharp knife just inside the border where the pith meets the pulp, and slicing down with firm, clean strokes following the curvature of the fruit. Repeat until the entire fruit has been peeled. Then, over a bowl or wide board to catch all of the juice, gently cut the segments of pulp with a sharp knife by slicing toward the core as close as possible to the membranes that separate the segments. Once you've extracted all the citrus segments, squeeze the membranes to release any remaining juice and then discard the membranes. Gently strain the segments, reserving segments and juice in separate bowls. Add ¼ teaspoon salt, the vinegar, 1 tablespoon of water, and the mustard to the bowl with the grapefruit juice and whisk to combine. Pour in the olive oil, whisking to emulsify.
2. Pour the canola oil into a large skillet over high heat, and when it smokes, add half of the asparagus and ¼ teaspoon salt, and cover. Cook, partly covered, until the asparagus is blackened on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the asparagus in the pan, cover, and cook until the asparagus is thoroughly blackened, 3 minutes more; transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining asparagus, adding another teaspoon of oil to the pan (if it's become too dry) and seasoning with salt.
3. When all the asparagus is on the platter, scatter the grapefruit segments evenly over the asparagus. If the dressing has broken, whisk to re-emulsify, pour it over the asparagus, and grind some black pepper over the top. Garnish the platter with the reserved zest, and serve.
Caramel Cake
Serves: 12
Time: 2 hours
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the pans
2 ½ cups sifted all-purpose flour, plus more for the pans
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
¾ cup whole milk
1 ½ cups whole milk
4 cups sugar
10 tablespoons (1 ¼ sticks) butter
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Hot water
1. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two round 9 by 2-inch cake pans. Pour about a tablespoon of flour into each of the pans and roll it around, tapping as you go, until the sides and bottom are covered completely with a thin layer of flour. Tip the pans, and tap out excess flour.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mix thoroughly with a whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
3. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the sugar in 1/2-cup measures, beating about 15 seconds after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary, until the mixture has lightened in color and become fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, and the vanilla, beating for 15 seconds after each addition.
4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in thirds, alternating with additions of the milk. To avoid overmixing the batter, mix gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula after each addition, until the ingredient is just incorporated. Beat until all the ingredients have been incorporated, and then just a few strokes beyond. Divide the batter between the cake pans and spread the tops evenly.
5. Bake until a cake tester or toothpick emerges clean, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in their pans on a rack for 10 minutes, then slide a thin paring knife around the edge of the pans, and invert the cakes. Turn each cake again so its rounded top is facing up, and cool the cakes completely on the rack.
6. Make the icing: Pour the milk and 3 cups of the sugar into a large, deep, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, mixing with a whisk. Add the butter and the salt, whisking occasionally until the butter melts. When mixture just simmers, cut the heat, but keep over the warm burner.
7. Pour the remaining 1 cup sugar into a saucepan. Cook the sugar over medium-high heat until it becomes a syrup, stirring every so often with a wooden spoon as it begins to brown, until the sugar syrup is evenly amber colored, 5 to 8 minutes. Pour the syrup into the warm milk mixture, being very careful, as the caramel will bubble and sputter when it hits the hot milk. Turn the heat beneath the pot to high and, whisking gently until all the syrup has completely dissolved into the roiling milk mixture, continue to cook to the soft-ball stage, about 238°F; this may take 8 to 12 minutes.
8. Cut the heat beneath the caramel and gently whisk in the vanilla and the baking soda. Dip a spoon into the caramel, and let it cool to taste it. Season the caramel to taste with salt, and pour it into the bowl of a standing mixer (or use an electric hand-mixer and a large bowl). Beat on low speed as it cools, 15 to 20 minutes depending on the temperature of your kitchen, until the icing is creamy and thick (between 100°F and 105°F). Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and let cool 5 to 10 minutes more, until the icing is between 95°F and 98°F—it should fall off your spatula in a ribbon that remains discernible on the surface of the icing for 10 seconds.
9. Set the first cake layer on a rack set over a sheet plan lined with waxed paper. Have an electric hand-mixer and the hot water nearby to blend a teaspoon or two into the icing if it becomes too thick to spread. Pour enough of the icing over the cake to cover the top in a layer about ¼ inch thick (if it drips over the edge in places, that's fine; this is an early test of whether it's going to set in place or not). Top the first cake with the second cake layer and pour the rest of the icing in stages over the top of the cake, letting it run down the sides and using an icing spatula to guide the icing around the cake as it drips, until the entire cake is covered, for a traditional, classic look. (If you prefer the dramatic look of cake layers peeking out from behind a curtain of icing drips, by all means choose that route!) If you need to reuse any icing that overflows into the pan, simply move the cake on its rack temporarily, scrape up the icing from the waxed paper with a spatula and return it to the bowl, replace the rack over the pan, and continue to ice the cake.
10. Once the icing has set, using two spatulas carefully transfer the cake from the rack to a cake stand and let stand at room temperature beneath a cake dome until ready to serve. Only refrigerate if you plan to store the cake for more than 2 days.

This project is now closed with a project budget of N/A.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project BudgetN/A
Project Description
Currently we have two projects. If one person or team could accomplish both this would be great. We are one of the more successful shipping receiving company (tattoo supplies) here in the United States. We are looking for an individual or team to do the following for us.
First, we would like to clone a zenCart site. We would need this accomplished in a fairly short amount of time. We are net savvy but do not have the time necessary to accomplish this.
In addition, we would also like to change the graphics as to not appear a mirror image of site. Basically site is similar in functionality but ours is lacking a couple key ingredients. The right person or team could have a lot of fun with this.
We are looking for an individual or team who is both creative, excited about what we do, can identify problems within our website that can be stream lined so that the end user has the best possible shopping experience as possible, We are a tattoo supply company - so yes, sex sells and image is everything. We know this more than anybody else and why we need somebody who thinks like we do. We are listed three times on search engines within USA. We would like to be listed at the top for every language. Our site has lots of functionality with very few people functioning to make it an exciting experience for our customers.
Monthly we would like to change the site promotions and graphics to keep our site fresh and up to date. This includes sales, site updates that end user need be aware, the ability to administer a bulk mailing list of our 7800 customers and 3800 vBulletin members for both printed quarterly mailers, catalogs, and monthly email promotional emails. If outsourcing need be necessary we are flexible provided end result is same.
We would like to have somebody who either knows how to do catalogs or the ability to outsource for us at cost and work with whomever to make catalog based on products on site including images.
Regarding payment, can be arranged percentage of profit margin, per job, per month. We are looking for someone long term that can reduce our workload. We're not the creative ones, hopefully you are. Only serious inquiries need apply.

Wales and England 16-30 Oct
Wales and England - AMAZING. We arrived on Friday 16th October. We launched straight into sightseeing mode and went directly to the Roman Baths in Bath. What a groovy town Bath is. The next day was the Dr Who Experience in Cardiff. This probably rated as James' most favourite tourist attraction. That afternoon Paul and James went to the Semi Final of New Zealand v France. Our country v The Country we live in. The rest is history. ...
The Kitchen !
... with an emphasis on the 'char') food in minutes! I'm sure the lights in the apartment block dim when I turn it on full power, and I'm half expecting a phone call from the Research Physicists at CERN (just down the road) to ask when our roast chicken is cooked, cos they need the extra amperage to run their particle accelerator.Still, things are progressing. We have cooked a few of the local Haute Savoie dishes, including ...
Food Markets!
... familiarity and friendliness of other shops and local markets.My favourite is a supermarket called Super U, ten minutes down the road in Les Houches. It has the most amazing delicatessen and cheese selection, where one can meander, admiring the handiwork of the chef, and buying mere morsels of the huge selections of pates and terrines to try later. The lovely ladies behind the counter have now understood my struggles with requests in French and have ...
Some new adventures on the continent....
... most comfortable.
I decided to try the optional breakfast at the hotel at least on the first morning, which was an extra €9 per day. It was a bit "meagre" but I suppose adequate. It consisted of cereal (perhaps Muesli?), juices, coffee, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, Croissants, pieces of Baguette and something that resembled fruit cocktail. It would have been nice to have some sandwich meats and cheese. I may try one of the local ...
By James: Cog Railway, Gondola, Ice caves
Written by James: Yesterday I went out for a Japanese Lunch and then onto a public session of ice skating with Louis-Jack and his friend, Max. We had a great time.
Today, Mum and I went up Montenvers Mer De Glace on an old fashioned cog railway. We went to see the Mer De Glace - a very large Glacier. At the top, we then went on a gondola to the side of the glacier. Then we walked down 415 steps ...

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Great Life Dr E's Limited Ingredient Grain Free Buffalo Dry Dog Food:
I like the quality of the product. I did notice that my dogs stool is now darker and wonder if it is the probiotics in the food. It happened to both dogs so it is not a health issue. I started adding some fresh food to it (not a lot) and now the stool looks a more normal color.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent dog food
By Dog lover
from Redmond, OR
About Me Long-Time Pet Owner
I have four poodles, two standard and two very small toys. I have been feeding this food to them for three years along with limited ingredients canned food. They love it and I like what quality ingredients Great Life uses in their food. My dogs are very healthy and do not need to go to the Vet.
Love this brand but food was rancid.
By Baz
from Oakland, Ca
I love this brand of food and so does my dog. However this batch was rancid and I didn't notice it until a few days after opening it and filling up my dog food storage container. I've ordered from here before and haven't had this problem. My dog will still eat it if it's in his kibble ball (though not if it's in a bowl), but every time I go to feed him I feel bad since it smells unappetizing. I'm not sure if this was just an old bag or what, but I wish I had caught it in time to return it. I'm still trying to get through this batch before I can buy a new one, but I'll be buying local from now on as it's easier to deal with returns in person.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Fantastic food!
By 4444
from Florida, USA
My dogs love this food, I love the ingredients, and no more allergies!! Yay! I have one dog with allergies to poultry which manifests itself with boils and cysts on his feet. Horrible. Another with allergies to many items commonly found in dog food (fish, beets, potatoes etc), so buying food is very difficult. This food has solved these issues and I am so pleased Petflow is carrying it! Thank you, I highly recommend this food and this brand.

Best super-premium dog food I've found!
By dnaidoff
from Hailey, ID 83333, USA
My two dogs do best on this food and the other grain-free dog foods made by Great Life. I've tried a number of other super-premium brands and my dogs have done well on them, particularly grain-free varieties. There are some foods I've wanted to like better than Great Life, but my dogs bodies tell me Great Life is the best! My dogs coats are noticeably softer and shinier on Great Life and, pardon my french, their bwl. movements are perfect -- density, shape and color -- on this food -- even my dog w/a sensitive stomach and even w/a rapid switchover from different brands and protein sources! The composition of Great Life is excellent (from what I've read) and many of the ingredients are freeze-dried -- which supposedly mitigates oxidation -- perhaps that's why my dogs do so well on it! I'm a little worried that supply of Great Life grain-free foods has been limited lately -- this food is so great for my dogs that I want to be able to continue to get it for them!

Trip loves it!
By TripsMom
from Colorado, USA
I've been trying to find a LID that my dog would like and with Dr. E's we hit the jackpot. Trip loves the flavor and I love that it's so healthy for him. It's made with USA sourced grass-fed buffalo and organic veggies. Best of all, it doesn't aggravate his allergies at all. No more paw licking and/or chewing.We've tried other LID's but either Trip didn't like them or they were super expensive. With Dr. E's we get the best of both worlds, great food at a great price.If your dog has allergies I would definitely recommend giving this food a try.

'Family first' for NHL All-Star Briere in retirement (The Associated Press)
- Updated: August 18, 2015
Danny Briere could have scraped by for one more NHL season, hung on as fourth-line center and provided veteran leadership for a team needing an extra push toward a Stanley Cup. At 37, Briere knew his best days as a player were behind him. Flanked by three sons that he rarely saw the last two years as he bounced from team to team, Briere made his retirement official Tuesday, ending the career of an undersized center who often came up big in the playoffs.

Using extended techniques on viola and piano, Charlotte Hug and Frederic Blondy draw the listener into unusual and encompassing sound worlds that feel electronic, yet are created through acoustic improvisation.
Hug, Charlotte & Frederic Blondy
Label: Emanem
Released in: Great Britain
"Both Charlotte Hug (viola and voice) & Frédéric Blondy (piano) use extended techniques on their respective instruments making their duo sound like no other. The feeling varies from agitated and fast to calm and still, and the sound world from acoustic to electronically mysterious even though no electronic manipulation is used. The CD is summed up in Dan Warburton's notes as 'top-notch music made by two outstanding performers with exceptional ears for pitch, rhythm, timbre and structure at the micro and macro level.'"-Emanem

If I have included visibility in my list of values to be saved, it is to give warning of the danger we run in losing a basic human faculty: the power of bringing visions into focus with our eyes shut, of bringing forth forms and colours from the lines of black letters on a white page, and in fact of thinking in terms of images.
I have in mind some possible pedagogy of the imagination that would accustom us to control our own inner vision without suffocating it or letting it fall, on the other hand, into confused, ephemeral daydreams, but would enable the images to crystallize into a well-defined, memorable, and self-sufficient form, the "icastic" form.
Italo Calvino, Six Memos for the Next Millennium, Harvard University Press, 1988
Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
Epitaph from Slaughterhouse-Five, Kurt Vonnegut, 1969
"The graphic designer has a great responsibility to the public. The graphic designer who respects himself, must back out if he knows that a product is of poor quality. It can have a negative influence on the development of a child, for example, or the cultural development of the people. The graphic layout must always be oriented scientifically; it is not a conman..."

"… our awareness of the world is inseparable from our self-awareness as humans. In fact, creating our environment and creating ourselves has been, phylogenetically and ontogenetically, the same process."

Among Chuang-tzu's many skills, he was an expert draftsman. The king asked him to draw a crab. Chuang-tzu replied that he needed five years, a country house, and twelve servants. Five years later the drawing was still not begun. 'I need another five years,' said Chuang-tzu. The king granted them. At the end of these ten years, Chuang-tzu took up his brush and, in an instant, with a single stroke, he drew a crab, the most perfect crab ever seen.
He who sees better, who distinguishes better, who recognizes the relativity of facts and knows that a single solution never exists for visual formulations, will certainly change his opinion about other formulations, too; above all, he will become at the same time more precise and more tolerant.
Translated from Josef Albers, Interazione del colore
From the Western attitude there arose Greek philosophy, Jewish prophesy and hence Christianity, science and technology. From the Eastern attitude there arose an aesthetic and pragmatic approach to life that we Westerners have never been able to understand completely. Now, these two mutually exclusive attitudes can, indeed must, blend into one another.
Vilém Flusser, The Shape of Things: a Philosophy of Design, 1999.
— Everything written symbols can say has already passed by. They are like tracks left by animals. That is why the masters of meditation refuse to accept that writings are final. The aim is to reach true being by means of those tracks, those letters, those signs — but reality itself is not a sign, and it leaves no tracks. It doesn't come to us by way of letters or words. We can go toward it, by following those words and letters back to what they came from. But so long as we are preoccupied with symbols, theories, and opinions, we fail to reach the principle.
— But when we give up symbols and opinions, aren't we left in the utter nothingness of being?
— Yes."
Kimura Kyūho, Kenjutsu Fushigi Hen, 1768 — quoted in R. Bringhurst, The Elements of Typographic Style, Hartley & Marks Publishers, 1992
That very seeing does not see itself at all. How can something that cannot see itself see another?
Nagarjuna, Mulamadhyamakakarika
The progression of a painter's work, as it travels in time from point to point, will be toward clarity: toward the elimination of all obstacles between the painter and the idea, and between the idea and the observer. As examples of such obstacles, I give (among others) memory, history or geometry, which are swamps of generalization from which one might pull out parodies of ideas (which are ghosts) but never an idea in itself. To achieve this clarity is, inevitably, to be understood.
Mark Rothko
For the daring, dread is not an opponent of joy or even of the comfortable pleasures of quiet busyness. It shares a secret bond with the cheerfulness and mildness of creative yearning.
Martin Heidegger, What Is Metaphysics?, 1929.
"We can (and must) denounce the irrationality of our environment, but no discourse on the alienating nature can make us forget […] that it is the result of our factual desire and that we are all, directly or indirectly, making the objects of our surroundings, which, in turn, are a crucial part of the human condition."
Tomàs Maldonado, Design, Nature. and Revolution: Toward a Critical Ecology, Harper & Row, 1972.
"We can have all the possibilities, but we don't have a project."
Jean-Paul Sartre
The raison d'être of libertarian education, on the other hand, lies in its drive towards reconciliation. Education must begin with the solution of the teacher-student contradiction, by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students.
Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, The Continuum International Publishing Group, 1970
When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only of how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Each time we are confronted with a technological product, we are confronted with the ideas and knowledge behind it.
Every machine, every project, is never just a machine or a piece of paper, but rather a resource of thought, an invention and therefore a social invention, and in this sense we need to confront ourselves with it and utilize it.

Husband and I ate here for lunch on a Wednesday. Server was wonderful. Very helpful, knowledgeable of the menu and really great personality. Both of our orders were correct and the very good. Food came in a reasonable amount of time.
Typical Olive Garden food. Staff is good. Young and eager to please. Ask what they like and you might get a good tip for your dinner.
I ordered something that was not on the menu. BRIAN KIM the GM made it for me and it was delicious. The meal and service was excellent. This is a well run restaurant.
Samuel was our waiter-he was excellent! The food was delicious, well presented, love, love their unlimited salad and breadsticks! Great restaurant!
What is there to say? It's typical Olive Garden.....food was good.....bill went above $50.00 rather quickly for two of us. The food was good, but the service was even better, very friendly waitstaff made dining there a pleasure.
Salad was dry and lettuce was old. Tour of Italy had very small portions with little to no sauce. Breadsticks were dry and stale. Our waiter never replenished them either. Overall it was a clean and friendly atmosphere. I don't look for this chain to be around in ten years.
Stopped here for an evening meal as we were traveling through the area. Had one of the best waiters - very attentive and went above and beyond!
This is one restaurant that that I never have to worry about liking their food, whether or not there's good service, or that I'm going to be charged outrageous prices. The staff is always courteous and attentive. The food is always fresh and hot. The restaurants are always clean. I've never had to wait for service or wait in line... More
Ate here with my family last week. Even with most of us ordering soup and salad it can still be costly. Had a server named Klay. He was wonderful. We will be back.
This Olive Garden has good food again. Beware that the little table game costs $2. to play. It does not say this when you begin, so beware. They do not always offer you a sip or taste of wine before the meal but you can ask. The pour of wine can get costly as the 9 oz pour is pricey.... More
