A great concept, but if you want a green kitchen, you really do have to consider reducing or eliminating meat. The techniques are great for the new cook, and many basic recipes are detailed, including how to boil and egg, how to fry an egg and how to scramble an egg. Technique matters! I think there are better books that address cooking technique.
A good cook book that does indeed promote a sustainable, local, and slow cooking movement. However, there was nothing very "new" in it, at least for me.
Taking away tips for chicken stock and recipes for potato & leek soup and stuffed tomatoes. Sounds like the makings of a great autumn meal!

Had a very nice time the other night here. I'm not really a steak eater but the filet mignon I had was awesome and I would definitely come back again. The prices and service were very good as well.
The meal was great, customer service was great. Yes it is expensive but I feel you get what you pay for. Will defintely go again.

They are masters at what they do and they do it right constantly. . A unforgettable dining experience. A place not to miss if you are a steak lover. No place like in on either the North shore or the South shore of Long Island. The porterhouse for 2 can't be topped! I am hooked on this wonderful place. The service is remarkable as is the food. Excellent steak, sides and service. Very accommodating staff and a nice atmosphere. What more can I say?
Go and enjoy.

Rothmann's is a place we've wanted to go to for some time, so when we received a gift certificate it was just an added bonus. We figured we'd go out for a nice dinner and hoped it would be a place we'd return to for special occasions.
Keep in mind that we are in our early 30's, successful, dressed more appropriately than 90% of the clientele (the man in the fur jacket AND fur boots stood out). We were surrounded by people who were trying too hard and greeted by a hostess who clearly thought very highly of herself. Nevertheless, we had a good - but not fantastic - meal. Our wine was great, the appetizer (proscuitto-wrapped asparagus) was light and delicious, and the steaks were cooked perfectly. We've had better, but there's no denying that they were great. The creamed spinach and mashed potatoes were definitely average. We had cappuccino after dinner with the warm chocolate souffle, which was hands-down the best part of the meal. And the service was great (I say this as someone who worked as a server in college). And then we were handed the bill. We fully expected for the meal to exceed the amount of our gift certificate ($150).
So the food was good - not amazing - but good, but the reason I will not return - ever - is the comment made by our server (who was by all standards otherwise excellent) as he returned the bill to me after running my credit card (to cover the balance). He looked me right in the eye and said, pointedly, ""Thank you in advance for your generosity."" WHO DOES THAT? I was beyond insulted that he would imply that I would not tip on the full amount of the bill. Besides the fact that it's just tacky for a server to even make reference to his tip at all. It was reprehensibly rude.
If you're under 35, successful, love restaurants, not a d-bag, and you want to go out for a steak, you're better off in Huntington. You won't have to swerve to avoid all of the chips on their shoulders.

Rothmann's is a good restaurant but understand...It's expensive...very expensive...The last time I went with my girlfriend 2 filet mignon's were $70 and were OK..2 baked potatos were $12 and were OK...The Asparagus was $8.00 and was above average...The shrimp scampi appetizer at $15.95 was above average...The Tomato and Mozzerella appetizer was $9.95 and below average and overpriced...My girlfriends glass of wine was $9.00 and was OK...MY ginger ale was $3.00 and portion was small and extremely skimpy...The creme brulee dessert was $5.95 as was OK...The total check was $133.85...The tax was $11.54...and out of the goodness of my heart I gave the waiter an 8% tip which added $10.70 to the bill...normally I tip nothing...My view on tipping is the same view Steve Bucemi's character had in the movie Reservior Dogs...If your gonna work a job where the base salary is $4.00 and hour and your relying on peoples good nature for a living you have to understand that you will- from time to time -be waiting on people like me who resent the entire practice...You would think at these prices the service should be included like it is in other countries.
The Bruch is good but expect to pay about $68 per person...True it has all you can eat lobster (which was cold) along with other items...Expect to pay $68 per person...They will be adding an 18% gratuity to the bill...This is wrong because you are getting up constantly to serve yourself...all the waiters do is bring you Mimosas that are being poured from a servi bar not even 25 feet from the table. I loved getting to give this guy almost 10 dollars for bringing me 3 mimosas and having the bus boy take away the dirty plates.
Don't get me wrong...I will be returning to Rothmann's in the future with my girlfriend..we go about once a year...and the waiter will be getting his usual 8% tip. I've never had a job in my life where people were expected to give me tips...

i go to all the other prime steakhouses on long island and i keep finding myself and my family and friends going back to rothmann's. it's simply the BEST. they have 3 other places on the island and i've been to them all, but rothmann's is the best of the bunch. they have professional servers who know everything about their menu and a great sommelier who is so helpful with his selections. their rooms are very cozy and great for private parties (we've thrown one recently) and we've even tried their brunch and it is comparable to the garden city hotel's brunch but a bit less expensive. if you havent' tried rothmann's you must, you won't be dissappointed.

ZomBee STEM Watch Remote Program
Want to bring the complex world of bees and the fun of citizen science to your classroom?
Planet Bee Foundation is currently piloting a remote version of our ZomBee Watch Program, allowing students around the country to participate in real-world scientific research! No matter where your school is located, we can send you educational materials and skype with your students, guiding you through this multiple-day lesson. Of course, if you're located in the Bay Area, Planet Bee can still come into your classroom to teach our in-school ZomBee Watch Lesson.
So what is a ZomBee? A ZomBee is a honey bee which has been parasitized by a zombie fly, which lays its eggs in the bee's abdomen. Once infected, the ZomBee becomes nocturnal, flying repeatedly at lights until it falls to the ground, where it crawls around sluggishly and eventually dies. Soon after, zombie fly larvae hatch from its neck.
Now, onto our remote ZomBee Watch Program! During our first skype lesson, our world-class educators will teach your students about bee behavior and biology, pollination, bee populations collapsing, the zombie fly life cycle, and ZomBee behavior. Then in class, you and your students will become ZomBee Hunters, designing and building light traps to catch parasitized bees! A third lesson taught in class focuses on the scientific method. We will send bee samples or photos to your school for your students to analyze, compare, contrast, and document. Next, students will set out their traps, examine and document what they catch, and finally post their findings on the official ZomBee Watch website! These results will go onto a map of the world which shows everywhere that ZomBees have been found, thus contributing to real scientific research. During our last skype session, Planet Bee educators will wrap up the project by answering all of your students' questions.

Music Director Arild Remmereit Builds Upon Artistic Themes
of His Inaugural Season in 2011–12
90th Season Opens with Chris Botti and Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik
on September 28
(ROCHESTER, NY) – The Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) continues its fruitful partnership with Music Director Arild Remmereit in 2012–13, and begins its 90th season with Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik and the alluring jazz trumpeter Chris Botti. Throughout the season, the RPO also honors some of popular music's great songwriters through its Pops concerts with Tyzik at the helm and present a series of beguiling OrKIDStra concerts for children with Conductor for Education and Outreach Michael Butterman (The Henry and Louise Epstein Family Chair).
Arild Remmereit's Second Season: Continuing Artistic Themes
Music Director Remmereit's first season with the RPO in 2011–12 was marked by spectacular performances of Mahler, enlivened interpretations of unjustly forgotten works, and a commitment to presenting music by women composers; he and the RPO continue this journey of musical discovery with Rochester audiences by building upon these artistic themes in 2012–13.
"In my first season as Music Director of the RPO, I wanted to start creating classics, to share with Rochester some of the music that I love, but which hasn't, for one reason or another, entered the repertoire," says Remmereit. "This includes music by women composers, but also, for Rochester, Mahler, whose symphonies haven't been a part of the RPO for many years. I think we were successful in 2011–12, and I'm confident audiences will again be moved by the music we have for them this season."
The 14-program Philharmonics series begins on October 4 and 6 with Ellen Taaffe Zwilich's Celebration Overture, and throughout 2012–13 season Remmereit and the RPO will perform music by living women composers Jennifer Higdon, Margaret Brouwer, Karen Tanaka, and Barbara Kolb, and works from the first half of the 20th century by Amy Beach (whose "Gaelic" Symphony was the first piece played on the 2011–12 season) and Lili Boulanger. Also on those opening weekend concerts, Remmereit and the RPO look back to the orchestra's first season with Howard Hanson's Symphony No. 1, "Nordic", which received its US premiere with the RPO in 1923, and the Tam o'Shanter Overture by the RPO's first music director, Eugene Goosens.
As part of his Mahler Project, a planned multi-year survey of the composer's symphonies that began with a triumphant Symphony No. 2, "Resurrection," in October 2011, Remmereit and the RPO will perform Mahler's Symphony No. 5 on October 18 and 20, 2012. He will lead the RPO in Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, "Eroica," on April 18 and 20. Discussion of this work, and Beethoven's genius more generally, is part of the RPO Sunday Matinee with Arild (formerly known as Symphony 101), a series of Sunday afternoon concerts that feature passionate performances and engaging discussion with the Music Director and the audience.
As during the 2011–12 season, RPO musicians step forward as soloists in 2012–13: Juliana Athayde (Concertmaster, The Caroline W. Gannett and Clayla Ward Chair) will perform Vivaldi's Four Seasons on December 13 and 15; Kenneth Grant (Principal Clarinet, The Robert J. Strasenburgh Chair) is the soloist for Copland's Clarinet Concerto on November 8 and 10; Mark Kellogg (Principal Trombone, The Austin E. Hildebrandt Chair) performs Lars Erik-Larsson's Concertino for Trombone on January 24 and 26; and Anna Steltenpohl is the soloist for Vincent Persichetti's Concerto for English Horn on March 21 and 23.
Guest conductors in 2012–13 include Rochester Philharmonic Youth Orchestra alumnus Ward Stare, Resident Conductor of the St. Louis Symphony; Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra Music Director JoAnn Falletta; Andreas Delfs; Matthias Bamert; and Conductor Laureate Christopher Seaman. Soloists include pianists Jon Nakamatsu, Stefan Arnold Terrence Wilson, and William Wolfram; and violinists James Ehnes and Sergej Krylov.
Jeff Tyzik and the Pops: Memorable Songs and Great Songwriters
In addition to the opening-night concert of the RPO's 90th season with Chris Botti, the 10-program Pops series commemorates two important anniversaries in the history of popular music: the 45th anniversary of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album and the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film franchise, whose theme songs have become some of our culture's most beloved music. Just for the RPO, Beatles tribute band the Classical Mystery Tour has created an all-new concert experience that they will perform with Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik and the RPO on April 26 and 27, with the music from an album that defined a decade and is for many the artistic high-water mark of the Fab Four. Guest Carl Davis and vocalist Mary Carewe present classic songs from throughout the Bond series, from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace, on February 15 and 16.
Tyzik and the RPO remember Harold Arlen, the American songwriting great best known for "Over the Rainbow," on November 2 and 3; Steve Lippia joins Tyzik on January 11 and 12 to commemorate Frank Sinatra; the RPO performs Sondheim and Bernstein on Broadway on April 12 and 13; and on May 24 and 25, Tony DeSare will be a part of Tyzik's tribute to Stan Kenton to close out the Pops season on May 24 and 25.
Tyzik's work as a composer is also on display in the 2012-2013 season. On February 1 and 2, as part of the Pops series, the Rochester City Ballet dances to Tyzik's New York Cityscapes, with the composer on the podium. A new work by Tyzik will also be part of a concert that also includes music by Bernstein and Copland, part of the Philharmonics series, on November 8 and 10.
OrKIDStra and Michael Butterman: Fantastic Stories and Amazing Musical Feats
Principal Conductor for Education and Outreach Michael Butterman (The Henry and Louise Epstein Family Chair) continues the OrKIDStra series with four exciting concerts for our youngest audiences and their families. Kicking off the season is Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant (October 14, 2012), based on the poems of US Poet Laureate Jack Prelutsky. Children and their families will meet the Clocktapus and Hatchickens, Trumpetoos and Tubaboons, Ballpoint Penguins and Tearful Zipperpotamuses in this entertaining work composed by Lucas Richman.
Beatboxer Shodekeh, with his amazing array of vocal rhythmic sounds, joins the RPO on February 2, 2013, with percussion students from Rochester's Hochstein School of Music. The OrKIDStra season ends with two musical re-tellings of charming children's books: John Lithgow's spellbinding children's book, The Remarkable Farkle McBride, in which a fickle yet lovable child prodigy brings the sounds and rhythms of an orchestra to sprawling visual life (April 14, 2013), and Eudora Welty's The Shoe Bird, with music written by former RPO conductor Samuel Jones (May 19, 2013).
RPO Sunday Matinees with Arild
RPO Sunday Matinees with Arild is a new Sunday-afternoon series of passionate performances and engaging discussion at the Performance Hall at Hochstein. The series begins on October 21 with Composers of Norway, an exploration with Arild Remmereit of music from his birth country, including Grieg's Piano Concerto, featuring pianist Jon Nakamatsu. Italy is the focus of the March 3 Sunday Matinee, a musical journey from the instrumental music of Giovanni Gabrieli to the colorful orchestrations of Ottorino Respighi's La boutique fantasque.
RPO Sunday Matinees with Arild also includes three events featuring music from the Viennese Classicists Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn. On January 27, Arild and the RPO celebrate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's birthday with music from three generations of the Mozart family, explore the early sketches of the "Eroica" Symphony to show how Beethoven forged a new path for the symphony on April 21; and delves into Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony on May 12.

Just Another Jamband From East L.A.: An interview with Los Lobos' Steve Berlin
It's exactly one day before the start of Los Lobos' latest tour when I call Steve Berlin on his cell phone. In a band of multi-talented musicians, Berlin is a musical chairs-man who shifts between saxophone, keyboards, and percussion frequently on stage. During his 19 years with Los Lobos, he has been a Tex-Mex hero, a radio star, and a jamband forefather (although all three have been subtle). It is this last role that has his current attention and imagination.
As a workingman, Berlin's energies extend far beyond Los Lobos. His skills in the studio have been in constant demand since the 1980s, and some of his production credits include Faith No More, Leo Kottke, and Ozomatli. He plays saxophone on albums by Paul Simon, Sheryl Crow, the Go-Go's, and dozens of others. In Los Lobos, Berlin has toured as part of the Further Festival, headlined the Berkfest ("I remember that," he says fondly), and opened for Trey Anastasio just this past fall in Las Vegas.
When I tell him that the first time I heard Los Lobos was when "La Bamba" ruled the airwaves in 1987, he makes a noise like he's heard all this before. It's to be expected. But what Berlin doesn't expect is what comes next: "Then, the next time I heard of Los Lobos wasn't until 1995 when Jerry Garcia died. There was a rumor that the Grateful Dead were considering [guitarist] David Hidalgo as a replacement. That was really surprising to me."
"Why were you surprised?" asks Berlin. He sounds genuinely sincere, perhaps even a little defensive, but then pretty quickly his voice deteriorates until I can no longer understand what he's saying. Damn cell phones. He calls back on the landline and digs right in.
"The comparisons [to the Grateful Dead] really don't surprise me that much," he says. "From very, very early on Jerry Garcia was a huge fan. The last place he performed before he died was with us. So we knew that he liked us. And we knew that there was a sort of kindred sense of spirit, I think. So it doesn't surprise me, nor does the continuing comparison surprise me. I'm frankly honored by it."
Benjy Eisen: And of course you're aware of a certain band that covers "When The Circus Comes."
Steve Berlin: Yes.
Eisen: Trey Anastasio has always been vocal about his appreciation for Los Lobos.
Berlin: We appreciate him a lot.
Eisen: So then, what's your take on the jambands?
Berlin: Again, we're kindred spirits. The one place where we divert is that we're slightly less inclined to explore the virtuosic solo. And I think that's the one place where we're just ever so slightly to the right of the jamband ethic. The longest we've ever played a song…(laughs). We like to move on and go to other places in other songs and stuff like that. We have the two very different songwriting sensibilities in David [Hidalgo] and Cesar [Rosas], so to a certain extent with us, we're very bi-polar that way. If we're on one side too long we want to go to the other side. I think that's the only real significant difference. But I think it's the healthiest trend, it's the most exciting music, it's where the coolest things are happening. I think certainly the only things that are happening actually are happening in and around the jamband scene. I think there's god knows who fuck all else worth listening to out there; some of the most interesting things that I hear these days are electronics and jamming.
Eisen: I don't know how aware you are of them, but there's a whole branch of electronica-jambands.
Berlin: Yeah, I'm well-aware of them. I tried to get Lake Trout on a couple of our shows. I love those guys. I produced a band recently that is sort of in that same vain a band called Woven.
Eisen: Have you heard the Disco Biscuits?
Berlin: Yeah, from Philly. Yeah, great!
Eisen: It's exciting to hear what some of those bands are doing with music right now…
Berlin: I think it's the healthiest thing there is. I produced the last String Cheese Incident album [2001's Outside Inside. I've been deep up in it man!
Eisen: With the current musical climate, jambands notwithstanding I'm talking about pop music and Britney Spears with that being the climate that it is right now, how can a band like Los Lobos survive? And not only survive, but thrive?
Berlin: Well, I think that climate that you speak of is poison. And I think that people are very consciously and clearly realizing that it's just ridiculously awful garbage. I'm hoping that the next thing that happens will be a respect for players again and for honest music and for guys that are actually artists on their instrument and write and sing and play great. I think, I'm hoping, I'm praying that the next prevailing trend will be respect for players, and that means guys who jam and guys who play jazz and guys who play stuff well. Because I think frankly what I see happening, not just among the garbage that you mention but even rock and stuff, is just so awful. It is just so awful and useless. And I think what's basically happening is that there are bad musicians playing the music. There are bad musicians playing rock, there are bad musicians playing country, there are bad musicians playing pop. At the end of the day, people can only eat so much garbage before they go, "Wait a minute! This isn't food, this is fucking garbage!" And I think that's what's more or less been happening they've been fed garbage and then all of the sudden their consciousness is being raised to the fact that it's really garbage.
Eisen: I think that because there is so much shit out there, people acclimate themselves to it. It's what they're used to.
Berlin: But then they realize. They come to the end of the day and they go, "Wait a minute, this is bad music. This doesn't make me feel good; this makes me feel horrible."
Eisen: I hope that's the case.
Berlin: Well, I mean, a lot of the records that people really had high hopes for aren't doing shit. J. Lo's record is shit. A lot of those [albums that] everybody assumed would be slam-dunks aren't really happening. The only one that's really sickening garbage that is actually happening is Shania Twain, but that's some other thing. There's some more to that story you know.
Less than a week after our conversation, I watch Los Lobos perform at the Whitaker Center in downtown Harrisburg. The theatre is sold out. While the spotlight usually shifts between the two guitarists and songwriters, Hidalgo and Rosas, Berlin is no second-stringer. His keyboard runs and saxophone solos are front-and-center, adding flavor to already colorful songs. The band rips through Tex-Mexicali blues, heartland rock, and hard-hitting roots music. By "roots" I mean anything from shards of traditional Spanish to flecks of American country. While the music is heavily decorated, at heart it is 100 percent Los Lobos. But, at first, they still don't sound anything like a jamband.
Then it hits. Not four songs into the set, the band throws the setlist. A few songs later, during "Just a Man," an extended percussion jam (with various members of the band switching instruments) leads to a fiery jam. Afterwards, Hidalgo leans into the mic. "I like when that happens," he grins.
The audience roars in appreciation. The crowd is a mixed bag. In the cheap seats and by cheap we're talking $25 there are a few tie-died faithful, some college kids, and an unusual amount of "grown-ups" on dates with their significant others. Many of them look like they just came from a romantic dinner. It's usually the females in this category that yell for songs like "La Bamba."
I think back to my conversation with Berlin a few days earlier:
Eisen: Let's talk about the Los Lobos live show. Are the shows scripted at all? Do you use a setlist?
Berlin: For years we didn't have setlists. Then, when we finished this record Good Morning Aztlan, we realized that there is more to it than what the existing band can handle. So one of the guys that played drums on most of the album is now touring with us, and we are using setlists only because it is difficult to switch drummers constantly. And because I write them, I feel like it's my responsibility to make sure that we never do the same show twice, as far as I know. We've never done the same setlist twice I know that for a fact. But we're using setlists, only because otherwise it looks like a Chinese fire drill back there with the drummers trying to figure out who's going to play what.
Eisen: Let's say a casual fan, who isn't used to bands changing-up the setlists or improvising, comes to the show. How do you feel about them being disappointed if they don't hear "La Bamba?"
Berlin: We have a really healthy respect for our audience. And we feel like that respect has been returned to us. Anybody that knows anything about us that comes to our show knows that if we don't play "La Bamba" it's because either we didn't feel like it or they weren't vocal enough about it. If they really want to hear it, they let us know and we'll play it. It's not as though we have a categorical objection to it. But we won't play it unless people ask us for it because we're quite frankly tired of it and it's a long way back for us 17 years now and the stuff we're doing now has more resonance. For years we wouldn't play it, just because we were bastards about it, but now we just don't care.
Eisen: As a music fan, I've always thought it was strange when somebody is disappointed because the band didn't play something. It's like, "Wouldn't you rather hear something that the band was excited about playing?"
Berlin: Yeah, exactly. That's the way I feel about it too.
Eisen: Okay, let's talk then about when you tour after you put out an album. How conscious are you of touring "behind" an album?
Berlin: For us, I think it has more to do with the fact that we're excited about the songs. There's unexplored depth to the songs so we're excited about playing the new stuff only because it is new to us. So it's not pushing product as much as it is just that the songs are newer and more fun to play and they hold more possibilities than stuff we've played a million times.
But we really do try to touch on everything through the course of a show. I consciously try to make sure that we at least play one song from every record. In case somebody's there to hear…if we don't play their favorite song, at least we'll play something from that record. I try consciously to make it as wide and broad as possible, but some nights just take their own track. There'll be a setlist out there, but if somebody feels like playing something else, believe me it's no big whoop. We'll just go wherever the music wants us to go.
Eisen: You said, "If somebody feels like playing something else…" Applying that to improvisation, what if it's in the middle of the song? Is that allowed?
Berlin: Oh yeah, that happens all the time. We just go.
Eisen: Total freedom?
Berlin: Total freedom. For about nine years there, there wasn't a setlist, and so the ethic is still installed in us. And frankly as our new drummer learns more songs probably we'll go back to it. It's really just a matter of convenience for them so they'll know when they're going to change.
Eisen: Before a tour, what do you do as a band to prepare?
Berlin: Absolutely nothing. "Pack" would be about the extent of our preparation. We're not big on the rehearsing and there's not really much to our show outside of the songs, so its not like we need to work out the pyrotechnics, thank god. As jobs go, it's actually pretty easy.
That last sentence keeps echoing in my head during Los Lobos' performance at the Whitaker Center. "As jobs go, it's actually pretty easy." Huh? When the band returns for an encore, after old fashioned audience applause, they surprise themselves with an unplanned cover medley: "La Bamba -> Good Lovin' -> La Bamba -> Not Fade Away -> Bertha, Little Wing." It seems almost as if they're mocking the oft-requested tunes, which happen to be other people's songs. Nonetheless, the band pulls it off with remarkable skill and grace. The looks that the musicians exchange are an immediate giveaway that this isn't planned. But none of them appear to be sweating it. Indeed, they somehow make it look easy.
Before we say goodbye on the phone, I ask Berlin what new projects he's got going on. Los Lobos just filmed a scene for Martin Scorsese's upcoming PBS special on blues music, and they also just cut a song for the soundtrack of "Masked and Anonymous," a Bob Dylan movie. They recorded a track for an NRBQ tribute album, and they've all got new "day-jobs" as Berlin puts it, scoring the music for television's "Greeting From Tucson" (on the WB).
Los Lobos' latest album, Good Morning Aztlan, was recently released on Mammoth Records, and the band will spend the better part of 2003 on tour, including a stop in New Orleans for this year's Jazz and Heritage Festival. After nearly 30 years as a band, it is apparent that they still keep to a solid work ethic. But hey, "as jobs go, it's pretty easy," right?

A letter to a friend
Hello everyone, it's me again.
Yesterday I got an e-mail from an old friend whom I haven't heard from in a long time.
It was not a very nice e-mail, very aggressive and condescending.
The guy was pretty much accusing me of a bunch of stuff that I had nothing to do with, and making a bunch of other crazy negative claims.
No, I'm not here to ask for advice on how to deal with it or anything like that.
It's actually about my reply to it. I don't know where it came from, I just wrote and what came out was pretty interesting.
And I think it highlights one of the main issues people have these days, and the solution to it.
Alright, here it is (translation may not be perfect)
"Hello, buddy. Long time no see.
Is that how you talk to an old friend? To be frank it didn't sound friendly at all, just hateful.
I'm not glad to hear you're in such a miserable situation, but I have nothing to do with it. Remember how we haven't met in like two years and things weren't this fucked up back then? Hmm?
So I don't see why you're blaming me for what's happened.
It's strange, you told me several times what a dick I am, but you never explained any so called connection between me and what's happened. You told me a bunch of times that I owe you, but never gave any reason for that.
You asked me 22 times to apologize, but for what?
I don't even know what it is I think you have done. I don't see how our problems with your economy, health, fiancee, social problems, and so on are at all related to me.
But alright, let's play this game.
I'm sorry that I was working while you were slacking.
I'm sorry that I was eating healthy while you were stuffing down junk food.
I'm sorry that I gave my body a chance to recover while you were using bullshit "medicine" to hide your symptoms.
I'm sorry that I was working out while you were watching tv.
I'm sorry that I was reading informative books while you were reading comics.
I'm sorry that I was working on my social tree while you were browsing stumbleupon.
I'm so sorry that I was out there dating girls while you were home jacking off.
I'm so sorry that I saved my money while you wasted yours on weed and booze.
I'm so sorry that I got up at 7 every morning while you slept in as late as you could.
I'm so sorry that I went to meditate with monks while you played videogames.
I'm so sorry that I learned meditation and martial arts while you learned a bunch of useless stuff.
I'm so sorry that I pumped all my time and money into making my own business while you worked a shitty dayjob and spent the money on worthless entertainment.
I'm so sorry that I thought about philosophy while you thought about stupid stoner bullshit.
I'm very sorry that you always did as little as you could get away with, instead of doing your best.
I'm very sorry that you always doubted yourself instead of thinking straight.
I'm very sorry that you always took the easy way out and always looked for instant gratification.
I'm very sorry that you just sat there doing nothing while other guys took the girls that you wanted.
I'm very sorry that you settled for some mean, fat, dumb bitch who ended up fucking you over.
I'm very sorry that you let envy and blame games run your life.
I'm very sorry that you always looked for support and validation and never tried standing on your own two legs.
I'm very sorry that you "couldn't" stay sober enough to deal with your problems.
I'm sorry that your "big plans" were deluded and don't fucking work, and that you refused to listen when people explained this.
I'm sorry that you lost your friends because they couldn't stand your negativity.
I'm sorry that She CHOSE me and not you.
I'm sorry that your friend overdosed and that you can't get over it.
I'm sorry that the world doesn't work the way your deluded mind thinks it does.
I'm sorry that human biology isn't fond of the poisons you fill yourself with.
I'm sorry that the world doesn't recognize your greatness, whatever that may be.
Most of all, I'm so fucking sorry that I got myself out of the dirt while you decided to stay there. And I'm so sorry that you rejected all my offers to help you.
I'm "better off" than you for a reason. I worked fucking hard for it, I've spent so much time, energy and money on this. I've earned it.
There is only one person to blame for your misery, do you know who that is?
It's you. You chose this. These are the results of your actions.
Just look at my sarcastic apologies, those differences in our actions and habits are what make all the difference.
You have put yourself here, and I warned you about this many many times, I tried helping you a lot but you refused.
When you tell me that I should recruit you because you're my friend and your tremendous intelligence is a great asset and that I owe it to you… just what the fuck are you talking about?
Friendship means nothing in this game.
Would you hire a friend, that's never seen a boat and doesn't even know what a sail is, to build your boat? To sail it? To repair it? You would drown.
Would you bring a friend, that's never held a weapon or faced fear, into war? Not only would he just be a burden and weigh you down, he would also get himself killed, and probably a bunch of comrades too. And if you survive, you'll be getting the blame for that.
This is my battleship, and you don't belong on it. Sorry mate, but that's just the way things are. There are other things you could do very well, but not this.
You wouldn't be of any help, and you wouldn't enjoy it at all. It's not a place for you.
As for the intelligence, you just said that Manimal is a bunch of morons with idiotic mentalities and imbecile agendas. If that is so, what use would we have of intelligence?
And just what is this intelligence you speak of? Your huge collection of useless trivia? Your knowledge of every comic book character ever? Your grades in useless things like history, maths, and the structure of languages?
By the way, how much time and money did you spend for that? A shitload, right? And where did it get you?
Look what I did, and where it got me.
You're not as smart as you think you are.
And I don't owe you anything. I've done a lot more for you than you've done for me.
But you are my friend, and I wish the best for you. I want to help you, but I can't help you if you won't let me.
This is the last time I make this offer. I want nothing in return. But you gotta be willing to work hard and make sacrifices, for yourself, that's the only way to improve your situation. If I hear any more negativity or excuses from you the deal is terminated."
That's where the relevant part ends, the rest is just personal stuff that's irrelevant to this thread.
So what I mean when I say it's relevant to this forum is all about the part about BLAME and REJECTING HELP.
That's the main thing that's standing in the way for most people who want to reach higher. And since that's what this site is all about, this is good relevant information.
So let's discuss these things.
Blame, responsibility, and being receptive to help. The worthlessness of apologies. Getting over your bullshit and working hard. Etc.
What's your stance on this?

You sound sexually frustrated.
@manimal, This is amazing, I agree with you 100% on all of it. Blaming others only causes us to keep doing what harms us because we don't realize that there is only one person in this world that can make our life better and that is us.
I might print out your list of apologies just to keep in my room to remind me to keep working on improving myself if that's alright with you.
@emecom, I'm glad you liked it.
Of course it's alright, I'm gonna totally steal your idea and do the same thing, thanks for that.
Blame is lame. I don't remember who said it, but someone said that "to blame = to b lame" and I think that's a very clever and accurate way of putting it.
Don't b lame, don't blame. Should be a slogan.
@healingchime, Troll! Begone or I shall smite you with my mythical thunder anti-troll sword of glory.
Nah just kidding you're right, I'm frustrated like a three-peckered owl. I hope you put out on the first date cuz I'm bringing the lube.
Haha this is b-low me.
Yeah, he obviously didn't see how hard you were working. He didn't see the sacrifices you were making to get where you are. Some people don't want to reach higher then themselves. And if they don't want to admit it they start blaming others for sure. I don't get what he is asking for you to apologize for as well. Other then attempting to keep in touch, which makes one bitter, but it sounds like he is more jealous than anything.
No one ever wants to hear that they are the ones doing something wrong. That it is their fault. That they are the culprit. everyone wants to be the victim. everyone wants to be right.
I wish that more people could come to terms with that fact. It would open up so much more growth in the world. And the worst part is, no one can help them out. They have to do it themselves, but if they never see that they are the problem, they will never get better.
@manimal, haha this sounds kinda like the dynamic between my roomate and I, I wonder if we'll ever end up at this point later on in our lives.
As for the post itself I like it quite a bit. Namely I like the way it shows a comparison of the hard worker vs the slacker at the end of the road (or at later on in the road).
Though I wouldn't necessarily call the maths useless shit everything else here is pretty spot on.
@manimal, "Poor me boo hoo! What did I do to deserve this? Why didn't you help me?" some people need a slap in the face. I went on an anxiety chat room to offer some help to people since I've pretty much overcome my anxiety In all areas but a few. The responses were exactly like this. The people were acting like children because the answer to their problems was too simple and straight forward to handle. They even started playing the age game, so sad.
hrmm… im not really sure why you thought saying all that was helpful, you are just going to piss him off more, you know this, and when he is mad he will close his ears and not listen because you invoke an emotion if you respond so bluntly, so instead of him hearing you, listening to you, he will only hear the emotion spinning in his head,
seems a lil inefficient if you are trying truly to help him,
it seemed you spent more time belittling him then showing any real concern, real concern would have responded to his rant with indifference, because real concern is not about the emotional response he elicits in you, real concern is seeing past the words, tone, and seeing the core of the individual, and helping that, not feeling the need to smash him because he just attempted to smash you,
i dunno, from an efficiency standpoint, communicating in that manner produces only clogged results, making it inefficient
and i assuming you were trying to help him bc you stated
–But you are my friend, and I wish the best for you. I want to help you, but I can't help you if you won't let me. This is the last time I make this offer. I want nothing in return. But you gotta be willing to work hard and make sacrifices, for yourself, that's the only way to improve your situation. If I hear any more negativity or excuses from you the deal is terminated–
–No, I'm not here to ask for advice on how to deal with it or anything like that. It's actually about my reply to it–
so basically, you just wanted everyone to see what you said to him, right? so everyone could know how -good- you got him? interesting….
@tine, I think you are looking in to it too much, he is using this as a way to bring up the topic of blaming others and accepting responsibility. Besides even if he is just showing everyone how he "got him" its still an interesting read that should apply to all of us.
@tine, "hrmm… im not really sure why you thought saying all that was helpful, you are just going to piss him off more, you know this, and when he is mad he will close his ears and not listen because you invoke an emotion if you respond so bluntly, so instead of him hearing you, listening to you, he will only hear the emotion spinning in his head,"
Again, Tine? Again you're making claims that don't match reality.
You may react like that when people are blunt with you, that doesn't mean everyone will.
And he didn't, yknow, he's coming over on Monday to start his training.
You don't know what you don't know, and why so damn pessimistic?
"real concern would have responded to his rant with indifference, because real concern is not about the emotional response he elicits in you, real concern is seeing past the words, tone, and seeing the core of the individual, and helping that, not feeling the need to smash him because he just attempted to smash you,"
Haha wow, even more strange claims.
I wasn't angry or anything, I was telling it like it is. Not everyone is reactive like that yknow.
I wasn't smashing the guy, just slapping some truth into him, because he fucking needed it.
"i dunno, from an efficiency standpoint, communicating in that manner produces only clogged results, making it inefficient"
Again with these assumptions, and again reality says otherwise. It worked like it was supposed to. And it works most of the time, it works really fucking well.
The world out there isn't like an internet forum, and not everyone is too full of themselves to listen up.
"so basically, you just wanted everyone to see what you said to him, right? so everyone could know how -good- you got him? interesting…."
Put down the carrot, that's an ugly-ass strawman you're building there.
I wanted to show the message because it shows how fucking silly it is to blame and be a dick, and what really makes the difference between success and failure.
Don't be such a negatron.
It seems your grudge is blinding you.
— I think you are looking in to it too much–
yes, i am looking past the words and observing what-was-done, the action, how manimal spoke to this person he claims to care about and wants to help was completely counterproductive, there is a contradiction between what he saying and what he is doing in the scenario, what he is saying is, "How DARE you blame me for your problems", but what he is doing (action) though, is something completely different,
consider a close friend, ok, now consider how you would communicate with them if you wanted them to be receptive to what you are saying, you being empathetic here is implied because you have labelled this person, 'friend', therefore, of all people, you should give them some grace, cut them some slack
do you tell this friend he married a fat bitch? do you down your friends physical abilities, sexual prowess, do you attack his ego relentless? do you make him appear stupid?
–(manimal) "But you are my friend, and I wish the best for you. I want to help you, but I can't help you if you won't let me.This is the last time I make this offer. I want nothing in return. But you gotta be willing to work hard and make sacrifices, for yourself, that's the only way to improve your situation.–
see here, after bitch slapping his 'friend', he covers his tracks and makes it appear like he said it for his benefit
(( — if he said it for his benefit he would not have purposefully provoked him — ))
manimal is smart enough to understand this
can you start to see the illusion?
do you really think what he said to the guy was helpful to him?
"I wasn't smashing the guy, just slapping some truth into him, because he fucking needed it."
mind boggling, simply mind boggling
"Again with these assumptions, and again reality says otherwise."
lol, simply bc you can bully someone into submission does not mean that that method is the one you should use
here brother, some points to consider since i am too lowly to provide you with any insight,
"You can have no influence over those for whom you have underlying contempt" – Martin Luthor King
all the, "I'm sorry that I" comments and what followed after, communicate, contempt for the individual, you ripped at every part of him,
–to deny this is to deny reality–
so please, argue Martin Luthor King here, justify you cutting at your 'friend'
and just know, i won't keep commenting, i only offer another opinion, don't feel the need to respond to these opinions, they are lowly in nature, therefore warrant no reply
Realizing how egotistical all of us can be, I understand you're urge to share this as a form of displaying your merit, as a means of shaming your friend and others like him, and as basis for intelligent discussion on valuable topics.
However, I'd like to know what it is that you do, how it is that you came to do this, and what good does it serve? True, your friends lazy stoner ways of passing the blame as often as the joint may be a common nuisance in society, but are you offering something tangible to the populace? If so, what drives you now, and what drove you to the 'now'? I'd like to know more about Manimal and what makes him so hell-bent on lecturing everyone about responsibility on a regular basis.
I do believe work reflects gain, therefore hard work is a good policy, but not necessary if you don't care to receive much. Maybe at one point in his life he was content with his work/slack ratio but perhaps he's let it slip too far in recent years? I've been the diligent worker-bee, and I've been the lazy stoner, and everything in between, but I know the difference and the consequences of both extremes. Work too hard and you become detached from the luxuries and begin to despise your efforts: miserable. Don't work enough or not at all and you become listless, careless, and without luxury: miserable. Find a happy medium and perhaps you find peace; you may not be the richest or the most powerful or even free, but neither are you enslaved, downtrodden, or without gain.
Blaming others unfoundedly is downright wrong, yes, but blame does hold its place. You blame the cook for overcooking you steak and ruining your meal, you blame your parents for beating you and making you an aggressive person, you blame the store whose unseen spilt liquid you slipped in and broke your leg, etc. But of course, blaming someone for things they've had no direct contact with is absurd.
Being receptive to help… hmm. How receptive to help were you when first venturing into the world of whatever it is you do? How receptive were others for that matter? Not everyone needs help, but some people think they do and some don't, or some want it and some don't. Some people think they need it, but don't, while others do need it, but don't think they do. Plenty of people make their living, some quite successfully, without any assistance whatsoever. Others may owe alot of "Thank you"s.
I don't see how apologies are worthless. They've been responsible for dissolving feuds and wars, they bring friends and family back together, and they are a means of displaying humanity. Humanity in that if we feel regret, and we display this regret, those that witness it can relate, as everyone has experienced regret, then forgiveness can be found though not always is it found. "I'm sorry" is just as important in this world as "Thank you" and "Fuck you" are.
And finally we come back to responsibility. What's past that you are responsible for? What good, and what bad? What future responsibilities do you hold? Personally, I'm responsible for: theft, fraud, death, hatred, parents disowning their child, the financial hardship of others, the emotional hardship of others, giving/sharing, restitution, apologies and forgiveness, love, acceptance, regret, prosperity, happiness, self-restraint, self-respect, empowerment, my fiancee, my dog, bills, schooling, careers, my life and the experiences I share with everyone I encounter, and how the experiences affect myself and those others. I decided to be vague so as not to drag on very much. The good and bad of past and present are heavy burdens to bear, yet we all go about our days without noticing how many experiences we share and how much influence we truly have. When you begin compiling all of it, it becomes a monument to who you are, and whether your statue is hideous and deformed, or brilliant and powerful, is all up to you.
There is no past,
There is no future,
There is only the now and the action you take to shape each now.
It seems to me like his friend was lacking some perspective, and manimal just provided him with it in his usually blunt manner. Unless you are his friend or a friend of his friend (ie: some who knows the situation) who are you to say he was wrong for talking to his friend like this? It may have been exactly what was needed to be heard and perhpas has/will do him some good, how can you say? And while I did note emotion in the tone, it seemed more of frustration than of condescension. He made sure every point was highlighted by the sarcastic use of "I'm sorry," not in a 'I'm better than you' manner, but in a 'this is how it is' matter-of-fact way.
@tine, Haha you're not looking past the words, you're looking into your own projections. Huge difference.
I wouldn't like a friend who wasn't straight to me, I wouldn't like it if they hid the truth or tried to stoke my fucking ego.
I wasn't attacking the dude about anything, he was the one who brought those subjects up, and he did so in a very negative way. As he always does.
I always treat egos relentlessly, what's the fucking problem with that? It's just fucking ego. And if it's fucking things up, it's gotta be put to an end.
I'll never stroke someone's ego and I expect people to have the same respect to me and not do that.
You're just confirming what I said earlier, you're too damn attached to ego. That's why you complain about bluntness and mercy and all that jazz.
Get over it.
I wasn't covering any tracks at all, my cards remain on the table. It was all for his benefit.
What do I get out of helping the guy? Nothing, really. It's a fucking favour.
I don't bully anyone, and I don't like seing people submit, not one bit. That's like nails on a chalkboard to me,
I'm telling the guy to STOP being a bitch, not telling him to become one.
There have been many people who influenced civilization and history a fuckload a lot who held very much contempt for the people. Hitler, Stalin, Nixon, those are some quite recent major examples.
However I hold no contempt for people, especially not my friends.
I didn't rip at the dude, seriously where do you get all this shit? I just showed him how the "bad things" in his life were just results of HIS CHOICES.
I'm glad that you choose to stop posting, cause your shit is tiring.
What you're doing is called spamming, and that's the #1 "thou shalt not" of an internet forum.
Do you take pleasure from flooding other people's threads with your personal bullshit?
Because you do it a whole damn lot.
very true, we can only speculate from the sidelines, but i think my intrepation is fairly accurate, manimal and i have had looonngg convos in private over all this, also in the threads, i see his approach very clearly
but again, i may only think i do, either way, my opinion is merely that, its a take or leave kinda things
"However I hold no contempt for people, especially not my friends. I didn't rip at the dude, seriously where do you get all this shit? I just showed him how the "bad things" in his life were just results of HIS CHOICES."
(Tine): mind boggling, simply mind boggling
sry for lying man, i won't comment anymore now, dang, just realized i said that earlier as soon as i sent that last Martin Luthor King quote and the question i asked you that you answered incorrectly earlier, you words did show contempt, you were mad because he attacked you, you then attacked him in return and cut him in every way possible, "in every way possible", it looks pretty ignorant to stand by and say those were for his benefit,
(( — those words were for your benefit. –))
it looks pretty ignorant to stand by and say you hold him no contempt, your unnecessary words reveal the truth here, there is nothing but contempt in them, there is no need to treat a friend that way, for you to say otherwise…. well, i don't want to overuse the 'i' word, so i will imply it.
@tine, Do unto others as you would have done unto you, that is a motto that defines my lifestyle. If I'm fucking up I don't want people to lie about it, I want the cold hard truth.
Words are just noises and letters, words themselves have no meaning. There is no contempt in a word.
Getting mad is for suckers, I was merely communicating the way I always do. Yes I swear a lot, that's just my fucking culture. Doesn't mean I'm fucking angry or someshit.
The "unnecessary" words reveal nothing that wasn't already seen.
Your projections are NOT reality, they're figments of your imagination, get that into your head.
I treat my friends like this because I want what's best for them, and they treat me the same way, it's called respect and esteem. Keeping things real, not being bitches about it.
I'm glad you're dropping out of the thread. You've already posted more than anyone else, and what you posted had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FUCKING TOPIC.
@manimal, Good letter, but do you think he will be wise enough to understand what you are saying? I mean, if all the things you are sarcastically sorry for are true, then it seems your friend is very ignorant and I highly doubt that the receiver of this letter will get it with then intentions that the sender sent it with.
Anyway, I do not know if this is a reflection of society as it is only now, or a reflection of how we humans are, and I reckon it is the latter.
Furthermore, would you think you would have a similar/same approach if you would be confronted with this situation? I mean, not only due to the fact that you have less time to think about what you are going to say, while in a letter you can rewrite your words etc., but also the fact that writing these kind of things is easier than actually saying them in person.
@manimal, This is a "Please RSVP ASAP" invitation to some deep drama. If that's not your thing, you might not want to send that message. If that is your thing, you couldnt have phrased your response more eloquently.
@donjaime23, I have no idea what that means.
@filipek, It seems he took it the way it was intended.
Yeah he's very ignorant and messed up, but he wasn't always like that.
It is mostly, if not almost exclusively, a matter of social conditioning. But on the other hand, of course society does not create anything at all on its own, it just amplifies what people feed into it, so human nature is behind it all.
But it should be mostly in the adaptive situational aspect of human nature, it's a complicated thing with a lot of back and forth, but what matters is that humanity doesn't have to be like this.
This is the approach that I use in real life as well.
In fact, you can go a lot harder in real life, because there is more than words to it. Lots of subcommunication and "vibe" involved. That's all lost in written communication. 93% of human communication is non-verbal.
Sure there are some people who think they can see this stuff through text on a forum, but they're merely projecting their own imagination onto other people. Strawman syndrome, as we saw such a prime example of earlier in this thread.
That, and, people aren't assuming that everyone's a dickhead in real life. On the internet people usually do, because a lot of people become total fucktards when they communicate on the web, and many people respond by assuming that anyone who gets a bit "offensive" is one of those fucktards.
That's not the case in real life. I get great rapport from most people, a lot of people open up really well. And there's very little drama.
That may also be partially due to culture, as I'm not in the US where it seems the national sport is taking offense.
But mostly it's in the communication.
The web is a whole nother game.

OTTAWA — The number of Canadian special forces soldiers advising Iraqi and Kurdish forces is much smaller than originally thought.
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has apparently confirmed in an email to the Opposition NDP that only 26 of the highly trained troops are deployed in and around Irbil, in northern Iraq.
The Conservative government, under repeated questioning in the House of Commons, revealed last month that up to 69 commandos were slated to deploy to help local forces battle the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, says only a smaller contingent was required by allies, and noted that the 30-day deployment is under review.
The official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly, says there were no problems getting the necessary diplomatic approvals, including an agreement setting out the limits of Canadian military involvement.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper says if the government decides on a combat mission, including an aerial combat mission, it will be subject to a debate and a vote in Parliament.

My "favorite" juicy little detail from yesterday's shooting could be found anywhere, but this one is from the Daily Beast.
[Adam Lanza] wore all black and carried two handguns plus a .223-caliber rifle... When his dead body was found in the school, he was ... wearing body armor.
Body armor. You know, just in the case the kiddies were heavily armed. Just in case young Adam found himself in a firefight at an elementary school. Just in case he met fierce resistance.
There are lots of ticking time bombs like Adam Lanza in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. And why? Word on the street says that Adam Lanza was "developmentally disabled" but let me tell you something—we can see poor human development everywhere we look here in the United States. Heads buried in iPhones. Eating disorders. Ultra-violent video games. Glorification of violence everywhere on TV and in the movies. Rampant immaturity. Sometimes I despair that we will ever see an Adult spring forth from all this fantasy horseshit.
But above all, poor human development comes from unnatural isolation. It's literally every man for himself in America. The "you're on your own" message gets beat into everybody from the day they are born. There's precious little sense of togetherness. There's precious little sense of community. That's not the way humans were made to be made. Humans like big extended families, communal child-rearing, lots of togetherness all the time. As far as I can see, this Lanza kid lived in near total isolation in the normal dysfunctional, psychologically fucked-up household. That's how child rearing goes in the United States. Most American kids grow up to be normal, dysfunctional, fucked-up, so-called "adults" but a few don't—they snap.
And since Adam's undoubtedly mentally fit mother Nancy (52, now deceased) saw fit to keep a Glock pistol, a Sig Sauer pistol and a semi-automatic Bushmaster rifle in their happy home, all legally, 20-year-old Adam could be heavily armed when he became an enraged Rambo on a mission to eradicate those menacing kiddies at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
There will be calls for better "mental healthcare" but if you actually wanted to prevent this kind of mass killing, if your goal was to promote mental health, you'd have to tear down the whole of Amercan society and rebuild it from the ground up. And Connecticut already has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation—no help there.
But you know and I know that nothing will change, and this kind of slaughter is going to happen over and over again. And every time it does, Americans are startled from their usual torpor. In shock and horror, they ask What happened? Because they really don't know. They really don't know how sick the society they live in truly is.

Cirque du Soleil acrobat Lisa Skinner relives AIS days
11 Dec 2015
The emotional tumbles and turns of a "blood, sweat and tears" gymnastics career were raw as Lisa Skinner returned to the AIS for the first time in more than 10 years.
The three-time Olympian, dual Commonwealth Games gold medallist and former AIS gymnast was visibly emotional as she returned to the gymnastics hall she once called home.
Skinner ran into former colleagues and recalled a career that saw her become one of Australia's greatest gymnasts.
The 34-year-old Queenslander – the first Aussie to qualify for an individual final at the Olympics and winner of two medals at the 1998 Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games – returns to Canberra to perform in the Cirque du Soleil production of Quidam that runs at the AIS Arena until December 20.
We caught up with the now acrobat during rehearsals for the show that features 250 costumes, and 46 acrobats, musicians, singers and actors.
Q: How long has it been since you've been at the AIS?
"When I was 14 and 15 years old I lived here – that was in '95 and '96 – and then moved back to Brisbane. But I always came back here for training camps each year before major competitions. I think the last time I was here was in 2004 and I haven't seen Canberra or the gym or anything in a long time. It looks a bit different."
Q: What's been your journey since then?
"I joined Cirque. I thought I'll give it a go for a few years and see how it pans out and nine years later I'm still here in Cirque du Soleil. It's my second show with them. We did trampoline ... and now I've been doing aerial hoop for about five years."
Q: What are some of your memories of the AIS?
"Some of my best memories at the AIS (are) probably down in junior residences with the other girls ... we used to get up to all sorts of mischief trying to run away from the house parents and all that jazz. It was good and challenging at the same time, especially when you are away from your family for so long, and you have chaperones and you have study hall. It's just another world of what you're used to."
Q: How different is performing with Cirque du Soleil?
"I love it. I don't really feel like I work with my job. I go to work and play and I get to do all sorts of fun stuff. Sometimes you're tired or you're having a bad day or something, but as soon as you get on stage it kind of all goes out the window. It's a fantastic job."
Q: What skills do you think you gained at the AIS for life after sport?
"Gymnastics is the perfect background if you want to get into Cirque du Soleil, firstly because of the acrobatics and because of the discipline to learn your trade and do the skills perfectly and consistently. You're performing every single night practically and you want to do the same thing every single night. If it was all over the shop it would be a big problem especially with an aerial number."
Q: What's the feeling like being back at the AIS?
"Apprehensive. I spent a lot of time here. A lot of gruelling work. Good times and bad and everything in between: blood, sweat and tears. So it becomes a more intense part of your life especially when you are young. So a lot of memories are flooding back."
Q: What were some of your career highlights?
"As soon as you finish competing … if you've done well you can't top that feeling. It's a natural high. It's just you're proud of yourself I suppose and you hope you can do it again the next time but that beam is just 10cm wide and sometimes you're just not straight. [The 1998 Kuala Lumpur Commonwealth Games] was was a highlight, two golds there. Definitely. Actually while I was there I got to have lunch with Queen Lizzie. That was pretty cool."
Q: How was it competing at the Olympics?
"I managed to get to compete in three Olympics in Atlanta, Sydney and in Athens. I was 15 in Atlanta but I think that was the favourite of them all because there was no pressure really. I was young and not really expected to medal or anything. You don't really realise the gravity of something like that when you are that age. You know you are doing something really massive and cool, but it doesn't really hit you until a bit later. But I remember just trying to take in as much as I could when I was there. I actually got to the all-round finals which I never expected … I thought "what am I doing here?" I had only been doing elite gymnastics for about three years at that time. Sydney was awesome but a lot of pressure and quite nerve-wracking. It was fun once you finished the competition but until that point it's all a lot of work and trying to keep the butterflies in check. And Athens, fun. They're all so different from each other."
Q: How much fun is it perform with Cirque?
It's amazing. You go backstage and have a good time, play on all of the stuff and interact with people from 26 countries. So it's always fun to interact."Q: What can the audience expect with Quidam?
"It's actually my favourite show. I've seen a bunch of them now and – not just because I'm in the show – it was my favourite a long time ago. The last number, for example, is widely considered one of the best in the entirety of Cirque and I absolutely agree with that and I think this show has so much strength. It's a bit of a darker show. I think it's the perfect blend of acrobatics and theatre actually."
Q: There are plenty of 'oh my gosh' moments in the show and plenty of danger, how do you cope with that side of the show?
"We have a lot of aerial number so that's inherently in an aerial number you'll have a little bit more of the risk factor because I'm without safety for about seven or eight years several times in my act so my hands are my own safety. So you just have to trust yourself and do your job properly."
Q: How much training do you do for each show?
"Training wise, to be honest, you don't have to do too much. You do the same thing every night. It becomes routine so you get used to it. Your body gets used to everything and you find things easy. It also depends on your act. I just have to lift myself. Some of the other acts people have to catch and throw other people so they do a little bit more strength to keep their bodies in check so their muscles can cope with the workload."
Q: What are your plans after Cirque?
"The show is closing soon. It's closing February 26 next year in Christchurch, New Zealand, and so everybody's thinking what to do next: Do I apply for another Cirque job or something outside of that. I'm not sure yet but I'll figure it out. I don't know. But I will be moving to Los Angeles. I'm engaged to a fellow there and a whole new country as well as a whole new job for me."
Q: Did your meet your partner through Cirque?
"He was the head of lighting on this show. He left recently. A year or so ago and set himself up with a place in Los Angeles. So I see him when I can at the moment. That's one thing about Cirque when you travel you wish you could get more often. Sometimes you just miss out on Christmases and birthdays, weddings and stuff. That's probably only one of the downsides as well as living out of two suitcases."

*In Part 1, we talked about 1) The Tendency to Drift and 2) How Not to Blame. We're continuing with Part 2 with a couple more critical "keys" to help us keep our kids from pulling us apart…..
3. Recognize the enemy
Our issue may be something simple like communication.But sometimes we seem to go after one another without thinking, and we say and do things we later regret.
It is important to recognize that we do have an enemy, and it's not our husband.
It's Satan. Either we don't take him seriously enough, or we focus on him too much. Realize that he is real, and he would love to destroy our marriages. He is also subtle, and too often we don't recognize his ways.
Perhaps you'd had a bad day dealing with a difficult teen. You are tired, frustrated, and feel like a failure. Your husband comes in and you immediately jump on him. Soon you find yourselves in an argument that seems to have come out of nowhere.
It's time to call a halt and recognize that the enemy is trying to get a foothold.
Simply stop, put your arms around each other, ask God to ban Satan from you relationship and to give you grace to work through this issue together.
God's word says to resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7&8).
4. Tackle difficult issues
Jay and Sally have two preteens. For years, Sally's philosophy of discipline has been to placate their sons. She is hesitant to discipline them and is far more likely to be lenient than to precipitate a confrontation.
Jay, on the other hand, believes in firm discipline, clearly defined rules, and swift punishment for infractions.
While Sally often lets the boys get away with things she should not, Jay errs on the side of too many rules. Their different approaches to discipline have caused much dissension in their marriage. And as the boys go to High School the tension is only going to increase.
Different approaches to parenting need to be faced and worked out or they will divide the parents and cause insecurity on the part of the kids.
If you and your husband disagree over how to discipline your kids or other issues, you need to tackle the problem head on. Seek out a godly older couple who has raised their kids. Ask them to meet with you, to advise you and to pray for you. If necessary, seek out a professional counselor who specializes in parent-child issues.
When you come from different backgrounds yourselves, your tendency will be to approach parenting very differently. You will need to come to an agreement on how you will operate together or your kids will come between you.
Occasionally it will be helpful to write out your policy.
Sit down together – just the two of you – and determine what your curfews will be for each child in this season. What will the punishment be if the child is late, the first time, the second? Write it out for the two of you. You can do this with TV, the internet, movies, etc.
An Example
For example, teens rarely plan ahead. It's easy for them to come in on Friday afternoon and say,"Hey Mom, can I go to see "such & such" movie tonight? Everyone's going and I need to know right now!" After a couple of disasters in which I said "no" and he said "yes" and we got mad at each other and the kids, we made some changes.
John and I realized we were letting the kids cause friction between us and everyone was miserable.
So, the two of us decided that our movie policy would be: our teens don't see movies that are rated stronger than PG unless we've seen it and feel it's ok, or another adult who has the same values has seen it first and ok'd it. (We loosened up in their senior year.)
When the request came with "I have to know right now." We responded, "If you need to know right now the answer is 'no', but if you are willing to wait until I can talk to your father (or another adult) then you might get an answer you like better." We cannot be held hostage by the "having to know right now!"
As a result, you will need to make changes in your policies as your kids grow, but writing it out will force you to come to agreement together rather than letting the kids pull you apart.
Most of us work or have worked in the market place where we had differing opinions represented. We have to hear each other out and then agree upon a policy. These same market-place problem–solving skills can be used in the family. When you think in this way, marital tension is likely to be less.
*We will continue with Part 3 of the series next week!

By now anyone reading this knows that Lena Dunham is the voice of her generation, part Shakespeare, part Nora Ephron, offering self-aware, penetrating insights into the human condition — or, should I say, the twenty-something Brooklynite condition — via her HBO show, Girls, and anyone who disagrees is just a HATER or completely delusional. That said, as Drew Magary notes, Lena Dunham season is upon us, so each week we here at UPROXX will present our five favorite quotes from the previous night's show completely out of context. You're quite welcome.
So let's get right to it and find out what sort of mind-bending things Hannah, Marnie, Ray, David Mamet's daughter, that rape-y hipster dude, etc. said this week, shall we?
5. "You will never write a thing that matters because you don't understand the true struggles of humanity because you slipped right out of your mother's p*ssy like a nice little golden egg, you spoiled f*cking little brat."
4. "This is a space cigarette, endorsed by Stephen Dorff."
3. "I don't want to f*ck my sister!"
2. "Mindy Kaling's not writing about choking on long balls."
1. "Can you believe that my friend told me that she died just so she wouldn't have to hang out with me?"
Tune in again next week for more Girls quotes presented complete out of context!

AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dental caries is one of the most prevalent diseases in the U.S. with 85% of adults and the majority of children having been treated for at least one incidence. While this disease impacts all individuals, it is especially an issue for those of low economic status who have limited access to professional oral care. Dental caries is attributed to the presence of the acidogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans within biofilms, or plaque, on oral surfaces. Biofilms are surface-attached communities of bacteria that are surrounded by a protective matrix. Bacteria in biofilms are upwards of 1000 times more resistant to currently used antimicrobials than free-floating bacteria. As such, antimicrobials used in oral rinses do not effectively eliminate biofilms; therefore, plaque continues to accumulate, resulting in dental caries. Based on the prevalence and economic disparity of the disease, an affordable, over-the-counter (OTC), widely-distributed solution to plaque removal is needed. In Phase I, Agile Sciences identified five lead anti-biofilm molecules that are effective at dispersing oral biofilms that cause dental caries. These Agilyte molecules are derived from a natural product that controls biofouling of a marine organism. The lead compounds are able to selectively inhibit and disperse biofilms of S. mutans, while not affecting commensal Streptococcal species, S. gordonii and S. sanguinis. Compound efficacy was demonstrated under growth conditions that mimic saliva flowwithin the oral environment. The lead compounds are non-cidal to bacteria and not cytotoxic to eukaryotic cells at active concentrations. The compounds are also able to disperse multi-species biofilms formed by human saliva on a tooth-like surface. Treatments of saliva-derived biofilms with current OTC oral rinses revealed that the AgilyteTM compounds are able to increase the efficacy of the active ingredients by gt2-fold, and this enhancement of oral rinse activity is seven times greater under flow conditions that are more representative of the oral environment. In this Phase II project, we will use in vitro and in vivo analyses to further develop these lead compounds as anti-biofilm additives for OTC oral rinses. In Aim 1, toxicity profiles of the lead compounds will be determined. In Aim 2, an in vivo model of oral colonization will be used to determine if the biofilm reduction capabilities seen in vitro translat to the ability to decrease plaque load in vivo within formulation. A single lead compound identified in Aim 2 will be evaluated in Aim 3 for stability within formulation and will undergo synthetic optimization for large- scale production. The major milestone to be achieved in this Phase II project will be identification of a lead molecule that isnon-toxic, active in vivo, and cn be synthesized on a large scale for commercial production. In Phase III, the formulated Agilyte oral rinse will undergo additional preclinical and clinical testing that will facilitate commercialization of an OTC oral rinse product that is highly effective at removing pathogenic biofilms from teeth. This product has the potential to improve personal oral healthcare, thereby decreasing the incidence of dental caries, particularly for those of low economic status that are most affected by the disease. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The incidence of dental caries is staggering with occurrence of the disease being second only to the common cold. Dental caries are caused by pathogenic bacteria within plaque, a mixed community of bacteria known as a biofilm that is difficult to remove from tooth and oral tissue surfaces. This project involves incorporating potent anti-biofilm molecules into oral rinses to effectively remove and kill bacteria within plaque so that th incidenceof dental caries will be reduced.

Man falls through hole at Palatine construction site
A worker at the construction site of a Palatine Harley-Davidson store fell 20 feet through a hole into a basement and was knocked unconscious Monday morning.
The rescue call came in at 10:48 a.m. and the Palatine technical rescue team was brought in to pull the man out of the basement, said Palatine Fire Department Batallion Chief William Gabrenya.
The man landed on concrete 20 feet below and was not able to be reached because the basement did not have stairs leading out, Gabrenya said.
The construction site at 2009 N. Rand Road is for a new City Limits Harley-Davidson shop.
Gabrenya said the man regained consciousness by the time rescue crews arrived and was put in a basket and raised through a 6-by-6 foot hole in the first floor.
He was transported to Northwest Community Hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries.
Gabrenya did not know how the man fell through the hole, but described it as a big pit with very tall ceilings.

A child star who while not necessarily being the cutest kid or young adult, grows up to be extremely successful and attractive.
Patrick Dempsey. Let's be honest: When Dempsey was whoring it up as a part-time gigolo/pizza delivery boy in Loverboy (aka Most Underrated Movie of All-Time), part of the joke was that this nerdy kid was getting PAID to have sex with various trophy wives. Now, as the star of the hit ABC show Grey's Anatomy, he has a freaking nickname referencing his unbearable hotness — Dr. McDreamy. This is one Reverse Savage we'd like to order with extra anchovies, please.
