Creamy banana porridgeOats are a great way to start the day, being a good source of fibre and iron. The banana adds a little sweetness and is a good source of potassium.
This recipe works well with other fruit purees, such as apple or peach. You can also add a sprinkle of cinnamon for variety.
- 2 tbsps porridge oats
- 150ml milk (breastmilk, infant formula, or cow's milk)
- Banana puree to taste (or mashed banana if your baby can manage a thicker consistency)
Place the oats and milk in a bowl, microwave on a high setting for about two minutes to three minutes, stir well and leave to thicken and cool for a minute or two. You can also heat the oats in a saucepan, but remember to keep stirring to prevent burning. Once the porridge has reached the right consistency and temperature, stir in the banana puree.
Avocado and yoghurt dipNothing works better as a dip than avocado - and all you need to mash it is a fork! Avocado dip is also a good source of healthy fat (monounsaturated fat).
- Half a ripe avocado
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp yoghurt (or add until it's the right consistency)
Blend all the ingredients together and use as dip for baby breadsticks and cooked carrot batons.
Sweet potato and cheese mashThis colourful mash is packed with beta-carotene and also contains calcium and vitamin C.
- 120g sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
- 25g hard cheese, such as cheddar, grated
Boil the vegetables together until just tender, then mash or puree along with the cheese.
Cottage cheese and pea mashThis light meal is so easy to prepare, and though simple, it's full of goodness. Peas are a source of iron, zinc, vitamin E, fibre, folic acid, and most other B vitamins.
- 50g frozen peas
- 50g low salt cottage cheese
Cook the peas until just tender. Mash together with the cottage cheese and serve with fingers of bread or rice cakes.
Salmon and broccoli mashA good recipe if you want to introduce oily fish into your baby's diet. It is packed full of omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, and beta-carotene. These quantities will make eight servings.
- 75ml water
- 1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 10 small broccoli florets
- 100ml milk
- 100g fresh skinless salmon, filleted and de-boned (alternatively, use non-oily fish, such as haddock or cod)
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan, add the sweet potato and broccoli, and simmer for eight minutes to 10 minutes until tender. Place the milk and fish in a frying pan and bring to the boil, then simmer for eight minutes until cooked. Finally, mash the cooked fish into the milk and add the drained and mashed vegetables. Process until it's the right consistency for your baby, adding milk if preferred.
Lentil dhal with orangeThis colourful, nutritious mixture contains iron, beta-carotene and vitamin C.
- 100g lentils
- 300ml water
- 50ml orange juice
- Pinch of cinnamon
Pour water over the lentils. Cover and cook gently for 20 minutes or until the lentils are soft. Drain off a little fluid using a sieve and return the drained lentils to the pan. Stir in the orange juice and cinnamon, and return briefly to the heat.
Eggy breadEggy bread is a great stand-by meal, and is popular with most babies. It's a good source of iron and B vitamins.
- 1 slice of soft wholemeal bread
- 1 egg, well beaten
- A little oil or butter for frying
Heat the oil or butter in a frying pan. Dip the bread in the egg, turning to coat both sides well. Carefully place in the hot fat, and fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove from the heat and place on kitchen paper to absorb any surplus oil or butter. Cut into tiny fingers, and serve along with some slices of tomato or satsuma, or sprinkled with some cinnamon.
Baby ratatouilleThis lovely Mediterranean medley of vegetables is full of goodness. It's an excellent source of beta-carotene and vitamin C for your baby.
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Half a small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small courgette, diced
- 1 small pepper, yellow or red, seeded and diced
- Few slices of aubergine, diced
- 4 tomatoes, skinned and seeded
Lightly fry the onion in the oil, and add all the other vegetables. Stir, cover and turn down the heat, and allow to cook until the vegetables are tender. This should take about 30 minutes. Puree or mash to an appropriate consistency for your baby.
Lamb with appleThis delicious combination of fruit and meat offers lovely flavours for your baby to try. It's an excellent source of iron, and also contains B vitamins and vitamin C.
- 200g lamb mince
- 1 cooking apple, grated
- 100ml unsweetened apple juice
- 1 small courgette
- Large pinch ground cinnamon
- Half tsp dried tarragon
Cook the mince in its own fat until it has browned all the way through. Drain off the fat. Return the mince to the pan and add the grated apple, courgette and juice. Stir, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Add the cinnamon and tarragon, stir and continue to simmer for another five minutes. Blend lightly to remove large lumps, and serve with mashed potato.
Alternatively, for a family meal, place in a casserole dish, top with sliced tomatoes, and spread mashed potato over the top. Bake for 25 minutes to 30 minutes at 180 degrees C.
Savoury chicken casseroleThis delicately flavoured recipe makes a good family meal. Just increase the quantity of ingredients to suit. It's an excellent source of iron, and also contains beta-carotene and vitamin C.
- Half an onion, finely chopped
- 1 chicken breast, skinned and diced
- 1 dessertspoon olive oil
- 1 carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 bouquet garni
- 3 or 4 button mushrooms, wiped and thinly sliced
- 150ml water
- 50g frozen peas, thawed
Gently fry the onion and chicken in the oil until the chicken is cooked on all sides. Add the carrot, bouquet garni and mushrooms. Stir for a few moments before adding the water. Cover and simmer gently for 15 minutes, before adding the peas. Cook for another five minutes until the peas are warmed through. Remove the bouquet garni and blend to an appropriate consistency for your baby.
Sardine and avocado spreadThis richly satisfying snack is a great source of healthy fat (monounsaturated fat), omega 3 fatty acids, and calcium.
- 2 canned sardines in oil, drained and well mashed
- Half an avocado
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Mash the ingredients well together and use as a toast topper or dip.
Broccoli with tomatoes and almondsThis vegetarian meal is a good source of beta-carotene, vitamin E, calcium, and vitamin C.
- 2 broccoli florets
- 25g flaked almonds, lightly toasted and finely ground
- 2 tbsps canned chopped tomatoes
Steam the florets until tender and blend with the tomatoes. Stir in the ground almonds, and serve.

The problem is: the talent is much deeper in the balance tree than most restos ever go, and to reach it would require giving up deep-tier resto talents. At full 3/3 CF, a druid would have a 18/0/53 spec, which is a far cry heavier balance than healing trees have seen in a long while (being that most have been at most 14/0/57 or 11/0/60 in WotLK, depending on their usage of Nature's Grace).
Four key talents will probably see the most debate on which to drop or keep, and which one(s) each druid chooses should depend on how useful you find them in your situation as a healer in comparison to the 3% haste. As far as I can see it, if you take 3/3 CF by spending 4 talent points to get past the previous 14 spent by restos in the balance tree, you will only have 3 talent points left over to split among these 4 different talents (the link put one point in revitalize just to open the end talents):
- Empowered Touch: not taking this is a nerf to your NS+HT emergency heal and your nourish. If you don't use either of them very often (read: never), then this may easily be passed by you; if you have to tank heal at all or heal in hardmodes on cutting edge progression, you may not have the luxury of skipping this talent.
- Living Seed: again, more of a tank-healing talent, as it is a reactive spell that will proc off of crits and heal in reaction to a hit. If you just sit in a big raid casting not but WG and rejuv, then that's not a problem. If you do more than that... perhaps it will be harder to give up this talent.
- Revitalize: a talent more for the raid-healers than the previous two, as it procs energy to your buddies off of your rejuvs and WG. If you make heavy use of either spell (which is the vast majority of druid healers, even those that do tank heals), it is well worth the investment of talent points, particularly for your energy/rage/runic-power-using comrades. While it does not help the druid as much directly as other mana-giving buffs, it boosts others' dps and threat.
- Imp Barkskin: if it was taken before, it will probably be the first to go if the druid doesn't pvp heavily. The talent does not impact actual healing, only damage reduction, which is mostly useful in solo, pvp, and cutting-edge hardmode content where the druid needs to use barkskin to absorb damage (examples include XT-002 and Anubarak).
Alternatively, you could loose two points out of Nature's Bounty in favor of keeping Empowered Touch (as with this spec); you will loose 10% crit from nourish and regrowth, but you'll keep your boost to HT and all of your nourishes. Crit rate on Regrowth is far less of a concern now, though you'll want to consider whether or not the crit on nourish is as useful for your healing as other options.
Personally, I doubt I will take CF, as spending 4 talent points on 3% haste seems very unbalanced to me in comparison to spending those points in (as I have now) emp touch, living seed, and revitalize. I am in a 10-man progressive-raiding healing situation that requires more than just "raid healing" from me, so spending 4 talent points to get 3% haste (when GotEM is 4 points for 8% haste plus an additional gcd reduction on LB) just doesn't seem worth it when I compare what else I could spend those points on. I need more versatility. This will probably be my spec (which isn't much different from my current). I'm considering maxxing living seed in trade for 2/3 Nature's Grace, but their relative bonuses and NG's semi-disruptive impact on my healing "rotation" of GCDs are hard to compare against the times I need NG for MT healing. I'm still pondering that :)
I imagine those that will find the most use of taking 3/3 CF are those druids who spend the vast majority of their time raid-healing, at which point I would suggest spending your last 3 points in 3/3 revitalize, out of the above listed talent options.
What are your thoughts?

Cousins Seafood & BentoFriday, June 1st, 2012
Brand new lunch shop on the corner of Kilauea and Lanikaula next to Subway. Very friendly family run place. Menu looks great with focus on fresh home style local cooking.
Pan seared ahi steaks with spicy sauce ($8.50). Really good and fresh fish and very generous portion. Great with their spicy sauce. Loved their potato mac salad with spaghetti noodles. Next time I would request the ahi cooked on the rarer side. It was cooked all the way through… a bit dry but still good.
Large bento ($7.50). This was one big bento. The highlight was the garlic chicken. So ono! Lots of good sushi too.
Mahi fish sandwich w/ fries and soup ($9.00). Yummy sandwich, just wish there was more fish!
Good beef stew ($7.95). Tender meat and seasoned well. Loved that they gave pickled onions as an option on their plates. Nothing too special about the stew though.
Oxtail soup ($10.95) on Fridays! They have different soups on Mondays and Wednesdays too. I loved this soup. Nicely balanced broth. Not too salty. Would order this again. Could use a little more oxtail.
Garlic chicken ($7.50). This plate was so amazing. It's the same chicken in the bento but much better since it's fresh! Four huge crispy pieces of chicken smothered on a sweet garlic sauce. On the side I got sweet potato salad and tossed greens. Could not finish this! Highly recommended.

SKF to showcase innovative solutions for motorcycles at EICMA 2014
2014 November 04, 14:00 CESTGothenburg, Sweden, 4 November, 2014: SKF will be attending this year's International Motorcycle Exhibition (EICMA) to showcase its full range of innovative solutions for the two wheeler aftermarket. The global leader in wheel bearings and sealing solutions will showcase its fork seal kit, fork mud scraper kit, seal head unit and wheel seal kit at the event in Milan, Italy, on 6-9 November 2014 at pavilion 4. Stand Q67.
Fork seal kit achieves superior sealing performance
The fork seal kit, developed by SKF to achieve superior sealing performance while reducing static friction, is suitable for all high-end motorcycle and MTB forks. It is composed of an oil seal and a wiper seal designed to withstand contaminated operating conditions and provide low friction, limited air suction and allow consistent hydraulic performance at factory setting levels. In case of MTB forks both oil sealing and wiper functions are usually integrated in a single seal.
Fork Mud Scraper Kit reduces contamination in the harshest conditions
SKF's fork mud scraper kit is an innovative, ready-to-use solution for off-road two wheelers that is designed to be positioned above the fork without the need to dismantle the wheel. It prevents contamination from mud and the resulting abrasion, thus ensuring the rider's safety by improving performance of the fork and the operating conditions of the seal. The kit includes two fork mud scrapers, cotter pins for fastening and a detailed instruction leaflet.
Integrated seal head unit solution enhances rider comfort and performance
Designed to enhance the performance of shock absorbers on off-road vehicles, seal head units are an integrated solution that provide sealing over a wide temperature range (-40 to +150 °C) and easy installation. The unit consists of five pre-assembled components, an integrated monotube seal, a washer, a bushing, the seal head and a dirt scraper, which ensures quick mounting time compared with multi-component alternatives and simplified air bleeding. SKF offers a service kit for simplified and efficient maintenance of the seal head unit, which includes the integrated monotube seal, the bushing and the scraper.
Wheel seal kit protects against high contamination in any environment
SKF's wheel seal kit provides motorcycles riders with reduced friction, increased service life and longer bearing life to deliver the ultimate riding experience. Suitable for all motorcycle wheel hubs, especially off-road of high contamination environments, the wheel seal kit increases sealing efficiency by reducing friction. The patented seal design also features an integrated plastic shield that ensures the seal is resistant to high pressure wash.
Visitors to EICMA 2014 will find SKF in pavilion 4, stand Q67, at the Innteck stand. Innteck, renowned for its supply of reliable products of the highest quality, is SKF's official distribution partner for sealing solutions designed for two wheelers. Experts will be on hand to explain the benefits of all these innovations to delegates.

Around 200 people, some wearing blindfolds and vegetable costumes, attended "What's on Our Plates?" last week, a community forum in northeast Albuquerque.
Organizers say the purpose of the meeting was to inform the public about genetically-
Yong Jung Cho, field organizer for Food & Water Watch, said the forum is just one of many of an ongoing campaign to make labeling of GE food mandatory by law.
"There are no long-term studies proving that genetically engineered foods are safe for human consumption or for the environment and yet the Federal Drug Administration still doesn't require labeling. However at the heart of the issue is consumers deserve the right to know what we are eating and what we are feeding our families."
Genetically engineered crops are created by transferring genetic material from one organism into another to create specific traits, such as resistance to treatment with herbicides… or to make a plant produce its own pesticides to repel insects.
Some of the most common genetically-
Earlier this year the New Mexico State Senate voted down a bill that if passed would have made it mandatory for companies to label of genetically-
However, the city of Santa Fe passed a resolution about two weeks ago making it mandatory to label foods that contain genetically-

The California Teachers Assn., the huge teachers' union that is the state's most powerful and sophisticated interest, has a new ad demanding that the legislature take action on temporary taxes to forestall cuts to schools and public safety.
That message is not outrageous. But CTA is the wrong messenger.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
CTA, as much any institutional group (other than the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assn.), has shaped the budget process they have today. Its 1988 ballot initiaitve, Prop 98, gives the union effective control over nearly half the budget; and if you control half of something, you control the whole thing. Prop 98 and other measures -- both spending mandates and tax limitations -- have tied the hands of legislators. These are the very legislators that CTA now demands action from.
Oh, bitter irony.
CTA can't have it both ways. If it wants to stop persistent cuts to schools and other budget items, it needs to embrace wholesale reform of the state's budget and governing system. And it has to give up Prop 98 and some of its leverage over the system, and restore questions of school funding to democratic politics. But the union, like Gov. Brown and the Democratic establishment, is sitting on the sidelines, thinking it can use TV ads and criticism of the GOP to get the tax extensions it wants.
This won't work, either as a political or policy matter. Tax extensions won't prevent big cuts to education because the budget system, of which CTA is one author, keeps ratcheting up budget deficits. And Republicans aren't likely to give up the leverage they hold under the 2/3 vote requirement for taxes and for putting measures on the ballot.
California's budget can't be fixed until both sides -- Democratic interests like CTA, and Republican interests such as the taxpayer groups -- give up their special leverage points and restore democracy to the state budget crisis. With this ad, CTA isn't pushing for a solution to the budget crisis -- it's changing the subject and delaying the systemic change that's needed.

SKF Sensor Bearing Units
In a washing machine it is important to know the rotational speed of the drum. This is to control the motor by closing the speed loop.
In a standard washing machine the speed is measured on the motor that moves the drum through a rubber belt. To obtain a more precise speed signal SKF has developed the sensor bearing unit.
The unit mounted on the drum has 2 main functions:
- support the load
- measure the speed.

The following is an excerpt from a draft version of Do This, Not That: Object Oriented Development. Sign up today to be the first to get a copy this week!
A few weeks ago, I was tasked with integrating a library that was designed by someone else. This library was intended to access APIs and return the data so that it could be used by my application. This seemed straightforward enough, except that the API I was working with had a few quirks, namely that it interpreted the query string directly, and so it was possible to have a query string similar to this:

Winnie, our 15 year old yellow Lab...actually white now!
I just wanted to let our Pets.ca family know what has been going on with WInnie. I've been part of this family since, I think 2005. Anyway, Winnie has been going down hill pretty fast. She is having a lot of problem getting up and when she does, she can only walk a few meters before she looks at you for help.
I called the vet this last Saturday for a "at home Euthanisia". It was all set up and as I was telling the vet what happened with Winnie, Winnie looked up at me at wagged her tail and grunted. I obviously hung up and went to her. She tried all her might to get up and she did. Did she hear me talk about her end??? My mind was going everywhere. I called the vet back and cancelled...just in case.
She isn't suffering, she loves to eat, wags her tail, rolls in the grass...but and it is a big but; she can't walk very much. If she was an old lady I would give her a wheelchair, but ofcourse that's just silly.
I am waiting for a sign as so many of you over years have been talking about..."you'll know when its time"....but have a missed these subtle signs...am I just prolonging the obvious....well I think that I will wait and see for a few days...my back is sore, butI think it's worth it for now. I massage her legs every day and it seems to be working as well. I just wanted those who have known me to know what is happening with Winnie....
the picture above was WInnie last year...the ones below were just this weekend....
What a beautiful ol' girl she is
I don't know if this helps at all, but we just went through it with our precious Thorin in March. Our vet had a great idea to help him get around. He was still enjoying his food, still wanting his loves and to be a part of the family. He would even lay on the floor and play with his babies and mouth wrestle with Nookie... but he couldn't walk on his own very well. We have a 2 story home with a walkout basement, so a lot of stairs! Our vet said to take 2 of the reusable cloth shopping bags and cut them down both sides. They look like a sling with handles after they're cut. You put one under her chest and one under her groin/hips, then hold the handles to give her support while she walks. It did wonders for my back and helped Thorin (and us!) to enjoy the last bit of life he had left. When the pain meds stopped helping and he quit eating, it was time.
HUGE 's to you. I know how heartbreaking it is.

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole" - Ok... whoever said this has never had a sick or special needs baby. They ARE our whole life!
R.I.P. my sweet, handsome Thorin. You are missed dearly Dec. 25, 1999 - Mar. 4, 2012
15, You are SO lucky. That's a good age. When my old Lab girl's back went she could still walk but slower and shorter, and slower and shorter. We dropped down to 10 minute walks but she still wanted to go. One thing that perked her right up was a walk in a new place. She only weighed 56 pounds, I could easily put her into my car and we drove to all sorts of places we'd ignored before because they were not big or long enough for my 4 hour skiing friend. Could you do that? What about a little red wagon?
That "they'll tell you" business is not true for many. What I found happens is they rally in your presence, decline when you are not there. My Mum had the unpleasant task of euthanizing someone else's dog when it was left in her care, along with another lady. As soon as the owner went away for her vacation the poor dog went downhill rapidly. And yes, the obvious observation is why did the owner go on vacation; the dog was pretty bad, had to be carried out to grass to pee. So I ask you to consider how much time you are able to spend with your lovely girl. I know how hard this is. Give her a hug and kiss for me.
cpietra, my heart breaks for you at having to go through this. As you probably remember I went through it last fall with Shadow who was 14. Did I get a clear indicator from her, no. I had to pick the day. And like you I did change it once. That said, I don't regret my decision to have her put to sleep when I did. It was hard as hell, don't get me wrong, but from the friends who have since told me that they regret that they waited too long, I know I did the right thing.
I agree with Longblades, I think they try to put on a brave front for us. But only we can make that decision for them. Winnie is beautiful and has been blessed with 15 years with you. Wow, you are both so lucky. Trust your heart my friend, and you will know within yourself when it's time to let Winnie go with dignity. I wish I could give you wonderful words, but there really are none other than trust your heart. Winnie will understand and always love you.
I want to thank everyone for your kind and helpful words...WInnie is still with us but I know I will have to make that dreaded phone call....
Rgeurts...I actually made a sling and pull her up from behind. her front paws are stronger....and actually in the last few days I have been massaging her legs and that also made a difference...
thank you all for your ideas and support. I will keep you all posted.
It is always such a difficult step. Just know that you have our thoughts with you and are keeping you in our minds. Winnie is stunning and it is difficult to pick up on the signs. Sometimes, we just don't want to. Whatever you decide, just know that you have our support. Good luck.
Barkingdog, I was reading this and wondering how many would actually admit to getting teary when reading about Winnie. I did, instantly. She is beautiful and those are lovely photo's of her. We had to say goodbye to Perkins last year for just the reason cpietra16 will have to act for Winnie, when they can no longer cope then you really have to think of quality of life versus quantity. 15 years is such a good long life for a dog, and that awful decision is the last kind thing you can do for them I believe. I really feel for you, cpietra16, I think it won't be that long till I lose one of my shelties so know the anguish you are going through, and the soul searching.
Such a tough time, cpietra. Winnie is very lucky to have you.
"We are--each of us--dying; it's how we live in the meantime that makes the difference."
"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
I am so sorry you are going through this. It has been so humid so much this summer too. I am sure old Winnie's joints seem sorer than normal.
You might remember Ginger and Hobo let me know together...they both stopped eating one day, drinking the next and sent to the Bridge together the next. Still can't talk about it and still brings tears to my eyes but there is no doubt in my mind I did do the right thing for them.
Sometimes they do let you know
Mum to Ziggy (6) and Zuzu (5), Zoey (8) and Raggzy (3) Keena (2)...my own little Heaven!
Ginger and Hobo at the Bridge (Valentine's Day 2011) but NEVER forgotten <3...
"I have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain, not because
I did not love you, but because I loved you too much to force
you to stay" ♥ ♥
We do not have to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness.
It is here on earth and has four legs!

Forget the cover letter; write a pain letter, instead
As much as we feel sorry for job-seekers (and I do, in spades) I feel sorry for hiring managers and resume screeners, too. Can you imagine reading letters all day that begin with "Dear Hiring Manager, I saw your job ad and I was intrigued…?" We read about Motivated Self-Starters and Results-Oriented Professionals and Leaders of Cross-Functional Teams until we want to stick pins in our eyes. It's atrocious. A stack of resumes attached to cover letters a foot high might yield two micrograms of actual human spark, if we're lucky.
Let me be quick to acknowledge that it's not a job-seeker's fault the stack of cover letters and resumes (See Resume, attached!) yields so little life or individuality. Job seekers have been trained to write a cover letter and a resume in Zombie Language, or what I call Boilerplate Corporatespeak. It's the language Darth Vader writes in, and every bureaucrat on the planet. It's the language job ads are written in, and the language policies are written in (you know the ones: "Effective April 15th, it will no longer be permissible to use the back entrance between the hours of eight and six…").
That's a horrifying way to communicate, and as bad as it is to read that stuff in corporate life (or to get a Zombie memo from your kid's school) it's even worse to read about a person described that way. Zombie Language is not the way to bring across a brilliant and vibrant job-seeker's heft and spark.
We don't have to use that kind of language to describe ourselves. We can put a human voice in our resumes, for one thing. And when it comes time to write a cover letter, we can ditch the tired cover letter format and write a Pain Letter, instead.
What's a Pain Letter? It's a letter that doesn't go into the Black Hole of Death, for one thing — it goes directly to your hiring manager. You'll find your hiring manager in two seconds on LinkedIn, by using the People Search page to find the person at your target employer who'd most likely be your boss in your new position.
Let's say you're a purchasing agent. In that case, your boss is likely to be the Procurement Manager, Purchasing Manager or Materials Manager for the company — or Director of one of those things. If it's a small company, your boss could be the Director or VP of Operations. You're going to find your prospective boss's name without much trouble on LinkedIn. That's fantastic, because then you can write directly to that guy (or woman) instead of pitching your resume into the abyss. You can get the company's street address from its website. A Pain Letter goes right through the mail (yes! We still have mail delivery in the U.S.!) from you to your hiring manager. How awesome is that?
In your Pain Letter, you're going to congratulate your possible-new-manager on something cool the organization is doing, and you're going to mention the business pain your hiring manager is likely to be up against. Then you're going to tie that business pain to your own background. No muss, no fuss, no painful-to-read self-praise, and no Mad-Men-era cliches like "ability to work well with all levels of staff." A sample Pain Letter is below.
Note that the Pain Letter doesn't mention the job ad (who cares? You're writing to talk about business pain, strictly. If you mention the job ad, your letter & resume go straight into the Black Hole to die.) It doesn't say that you're smart and savvy and had a 3.8 GPA in school. Who cares about those things? You have a more important message to convey:
I'm out here, noticing what's happening in the business ecosystem and who's doing what. My eyes are open. I'm a businessperson like you are, and I notice that you guys are rockin' it over there at your company. I know something about the movie you're living, because I lived that movie, too. If the things I'm writing about are on your radar screen, maybe we should talk.
It's a new day. We can communicate like human beings (and with other human beings, leaving the machines to communicate amongst themselves) in the human workplace. We can write to our quite-possibly-new-bosses as though they were people with real problems, ones that we just might be able to understand. Some of them won't like the fact that we colored outside the lines in daring to reach out to them. That's awesome, because you don't have time to waste (or mojo to squander) working for a person who's horrified by color-outside-the-lines types, anyway. The ones who get you will call you or email you to continue the conversation. What kind of conversation will it be? No telling, but it will be human, and that's at least half the battle.
Declan McManus
Vice President, Marketing
Exclusive Chocolates, Inc.
4840 Whispering Pine Road
Boulder, Colorado
Dear Declan,
I was lucky enough to catch your speech at the Boulder Natural Foods Expo last month, and delighted to learn about Exclusive's plans for expansion into dessert toppings. You've hit a chord with the chocolate-loving public, and the Wolfgang Puck deal announced last week is a wonderful green light from the market for Exclusive's take on organic chocolates.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that those opportunities are taxing your talented Marketing team as well.
When I led the new-products efforts for Angry Chocolate during its high-growth phase (just before the company's acquisition by Nestle) we had at least one major launch per month. Among other things, we were on the hook to create a sugar-free version of Angry Choco-Mints in time for Chocoholic Expo '07 and serve our loyal domestic partners during two years of 25% growth.
We prevailed – our Sugar-free Angries took Best New Product at the show – and if Exclusive is in need of hands-on go-to-market, channel-marketing and new-product-launch-related Marketing help, I'd love to look at ways to help your team.
If you have time for a telephone call or email correspondence to see where we might have an intersection of interests, I'd be delighted to learn more and share a bit of my background with you.

The Via Egnatia is an ancient roman road constructed in the second century BC. It is named after Gnaeus Egnatius, a proconsul of Macedonia. The road stretched from Durres, on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, through the Balkans, to Constantinople. It serves as a tangible reminder of the importance which the region that now constitutes the Western Balkans enjoyed for centuries. The route which extends through present day Albania, Macedonia and Greece into Turkey was the principal connection between Greece and Rome, the capital of the empire. With the rise of the Byzantine Empire, it continued to serve as an important link between Eastern and Western Europe.
In Roman times the armies of Julius Cesar, Pompey, Mark Anthony, Octavian, Cassius and Brutus marched along the Via Egnatia. Crusader armies in the Middle Ages followed the same route on their way to Constantinople and the Holy Land.
In Albania the Via Egnatia connected the important towns of Durres and Apollonia. The port of Durres was opposite Brindisi on the Western coast of the Adriatic, a stretch that could be navigated fairly easily by ship. From Brindisi there was a direct route to Rome on the famous Via Appia. The Via Egnatia was thus a direct extension of the main road to Rome, making the port of Durres a natural gateway to both Italy and the Balkans.
In the 1990s Albania became famous for the huge number of migrants who sought to leave the country. The strait between Bari and Albania saw a steady flow of refugees from Albania, migrants from other Balkan countries and drugs. A description of the Via Egnatia in medieval times shows that this flow of people is not a new phenomenon:
"On the traces of ancient Via Egnatia one could meet chapmen or tradesmen, villagers or workers from Western Macedonia, Epirus, Thessaly etc, seeking better living conditions. There were also many builders that travelled in groups, including masons and lumberjacks. In these clusters of people one could tell the seasonal workers, but also professional beggars, the infamous Cravarites."
Recently the European Union has recognised the importance of a connection between the Adriatic and the Black Sea. Its Trans European Transport Network (TEN-T) project includes 10 'Trans-European corridors' where road and rail infrastructure are to be improved. One of these, 'Corridor 8', partly follows the route of the historic Via Egnatia. It stretches for 960 km, through Albania, Macedonia and Bulgaria linking the capitals Tirana, Skopje and Sofia. The project seeks to improve the overland connections between the Italian and Albanian ports of Bari, Durres and Vlora on the Adriatic and the Bulgarian Black Sea ports of Vahna and Burgas. In a 2005 article, Tommaso Merlo paints an optimistic picture of the benefits for Albania:
"Corridor 8 will launch Albania towards the Eastern European markets but that's not all. The roads, railway lines, ports, logistics infrastructure and subsidiary services will guarantee enormous investment from the West. There is already interest in the management of the gas and water pipelines from the Caspian which will cast up on the Albanian coast. Besides being good business in the short term, the Corridor will guarantee structural economic advantages from the international presence and from improvement to the transport system and internal services. The enormous economic prospects from the Corridor and a new political landscape seem to bare testimony to the fact that history has decided to pass through Tirana once more."
(Tommaso Merlo, Corridoio 8: il sogno albanese)
"Corridor 8", a film by Bulgarian filmmaker Boris Despodov, takes a more sceptical, mocking view of the project. The film, which won a prize at the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival, portrays a journey from Burgas to Durres along the as yet nonexistent highway included in the plans for the TEN-T project.
"What Despodov reveals as he travels the stated path from the Bulgarian Burgas to Albanian Durres are a people mistrustful of their neighbors and unimpressed by grand claims from local and European politicos.
A perfect example are the train tracks in the Bulgarian town of Gyueshevo, on the border with Macedonia. Less than 550 yards of rail lines need finishing to connect the village with its neighbor across the frontier, but the incomplete tunnel begun by the occupying Germans in 1941 is still being used to grow mushrooms and store cheese. Plenty of delegations come, with hyperbole and promises, but it remains impossible to get from Bulgaria to Macedonia by train."

Nine-Year Old 'Crazy Train' Guitarist's Identity Revealed!
Remember the video of the nine-year old kid tearing up Ozzy Osbourne's 'Crazy Train' on guitar from last week? Well, we've learned a lot about him since then. His name is Ryan Watson, he's 10 years old now and one of the many talented young musicians lucky enough to be enrolled in the Frederick Rock School in Maryland.
Ryan plays guitar and sings in a band called Unavailable, alongside Dennis McAfee (also 10) on guitar, drummer Kevin Kiley (13) and the band's elder statesmen, 15-year old Dylan Howes. They perform covers and originals, and do so very well as you can see from the new video below.
We spoke to Scott Marceron, who runs the school, about Watson and his fellow young rockers. "He's just phenomenal, man, his life is playing guitar, that's all he does all day long. He started with the school about a year and a half ago."
He says the kids chose their own band name, and that Watson taught himself how to play but had never played in a band format before joining the school: "We pair them together, according to age and ability, and what we do is give them three songs to learn over 12 weeks, then they perform a show at a real club. If they get through (learn) their songs quick, we encourage them to write their own, which those guys do, and we help them along the way."
Marceron's been doing this for two years now. He himself has been playing rock music since age 12, worked as a professional musician or in other aspects of the industry much of his life, and was inspired to start the school by a visit to a similar operation in Philadelphia. "I was blown away by it, I decided this was what my area needs. We have 135 students, 28 bands, it's open enrollment, we're open year-round. It's like an after-school rock and roll community center. We have a pool table, a big lounge, they're able to come to a safe place and be around like-minded kids."
Sounds pretty darn cool, right? If you're in the Baltimore area and / or would like to learn more about the Frederick Rock School, you can visit their official website.

Rabbi Brant Rosen leads a congregation in Evanston, Illinois and is co-chair of the Rabbinical Council of Jewish Voice for Peace. He is the author of the new book, Wrestling in the Daylight: A Rabbi's Path to Palestinian Solidarity and blogs at Shalom Rav. He stresses that the views, both in his book and in this interview, are his own and do not represent his congregation. We spoke on Monday December 4 in Washington, DC where he was promoting his book. An abridged version of this interview was published by Inter Press Service.
How has your personal view of Israel changed in the past four years?
I think I've shifted from a liberal Zionist approach—viewing the conflict as two peoples who have two legitimate claims to the land and the only way out of the morass is two states for two people. I believed in the importance of a Jewish state and identified with Israel as a Jew; that was my narrative growing up. I have deep familial relationships in Israel, visited there many times, considered moving there…it was a gradual thing, but the breaking point was Operation Cast Lead in 2008 (Cast Lead was the code name given to Israel's 2008-09 assault on Gaza). I came to realize this was not a conflict between two equal parties but an essential injustice that began with the birth of the state of Israel and continued since that time. It is a case of one very powerful party bending the other to its will.
Once I spoke out about Israel's outrages in Cast Lead, the dominoes really started to fall for me. At first I didn't know where that brought me, and wasn't sure where I stood. As a congregational rabbi I was in a difficult place and people looked to me for guidance. About a year after that, I really reassessed my relationship as a Jew to Israel, to the entire issue, not just Gaza, about Zionism in general. In the blog pieces I wrote for the book I wrote very extensively about my thoughts and my activity during this time. Brian Walt and I started Jewish Fast for Gaza, and we found a number of rabbis who stood with us to launch the initiative to end the blockade of the Strip and search for a just peace. I become more involved in Palestine Solidarity work, reaching out to Palestinians, some of whom were friends and others who were activists in this area, moving beyond my fear of them as "other." So many of them reached out to me when I spoke out on Gaza, and I wanted to learn from them what their experience of this issue was. Continue reading

The other morning I broke down wondering if I have psoriatic arthritis (PA) or not. Since last week, when I first wrote about the possibility, the soreness and pain in my knuckles and wrist have increased day by day. I suppose my impression and experience of arthritis is with the elderly. I imagined myself like my grandparents struggling with daily tasks, experiencing chronic pain in my joints, and not being able to play with my kids. I have to say my imagination took me down scenarios that left me saddened by the dim prospects. So I looked forward to my first rheumatologist appointment to ask some questions and hopefully get some answers.
Getting the rheumatology appointment on Tuesday was a small miracle in itself. When I saw my dermatologist on Monday, my first question was whether I might have psoriatic arthritis or not. He first asked if I have pitted nails. Yep, I told him, I've had pitted nails on my hands and feet since childhood. His second reaction was to give me a referral since he doesn't handle PA cases. He would send the referral to the rheumatology department and then I would call in three days to find out the appointment time. To my surprise a nurse called me the next morning. She said they had a 12:30PM appointment if I wanted it with the next available appointment in August sometime. Even though I only had about an hour and a half to get to the clinic I jumped at the opportunity.
The rheumatologist asked some basic questions including whether I had experienced swelling in my fingers that looked like a sausage, how long I had experience the pain in my joints, and my psoriatic history. She said that only 4-6 percent of patients who have skin lesions would develop psoriatic arthritis. I gave her a puzzled look because I had heard that it was more like 25 percent. She also thought that the medications I am taking, specifically Enbrel, would be the best course of treatment if I indeed have psoriatic arthritis. The Enbrel may be treating symptoms already which could be why I am not experiencing more pain in my joints. Bottom line? She could not make a diagnosis and even if I had psoriatic arthritis I'm on the best treatment already.
I walked away feeling cheated. I wanted to know whether I had PA or not. Now I'm left with question marks and continuing pain in my hands, hip, and wrists.
As I drove home I became philosophical. Whether or not I have a diagnosis I need to manage whatever health conditions or issues arise. The skin related ones I understand. Now I need to learn more about how to care for my joints whatever might be the cause of the current discomfort. Sometimes I know I won't understand the cause of what happens in life. But I'm reminded that I am responsible for how I respond and react to circumstances. I'm still trying to figure out the best reaction, but for now I want to take self-pity or fear off the table.
As a final note I want to say thanks to those who responded to my last post on psoriatic arthritis. I'm learning a lot and am encouraged by your comments and stories. Keep it up!

I hope this is the case, but I am not naive enough to think that nothing questionable has ever happened at Wofford. I certainly think our administration does everything it can to run a clean program and I know of no specific instances of anything out of line occurring which is as it should be. But, I try to be too "holier than thou" with other programs because eventually it could come back to bite us. Look at UNC, they've been peddling that "Carolina Way" stuff forever and they have proven they are not immune even in spite of decade of looking down their noses at others. I hope I never see Wofford involved in anything like either of these situations, but things happen and crow can always be served.

April 19, 2011 -- Epilepsy that is difficult to treat may be more common in those with autism than previously believed, new research suggests.
"In general, we knew prior to this study that people with autism have significantly elevated rates of epilepsy," says researcher Orrin Devinsky, MD, professor of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine. Devinsky is also director of the NYU Comprehensive Epilepsy Center.
In his new research, he found that epilepsy in autism is often treatment-resistant. ''Among those with autism who have epilepsy, in many cases it is difficult to control with medication,'' he says. In the small study, about 55% of those with sufficient data available had treatment-resistant epilepsy, he tells WebMD.
The research is published online in the journal Epilepsia.
It follows research published last week in the Journal of Child Neurology finding those with both autism and epilepsy have a higher death rate than those with autism alone.
Autism spectrum disorders, a group of developmental disabilities, affect about one in 110 U.S. children, according to the CDC. Epilepsy, a brain disorder involving spontaneous seizures, affects about 3 million Americans, according to the Epilepsy Foundation.
Autism Patients With Epilepsy
Devinsky evaluated the records of 127 patients with autism and at least one epileptic seizure over a 20-year period. He looked at laboratory and clinical data from the patients who had been coming to the NYU Epilepsy Center.
He defined treatment-resistant as failing two trials of tolerated drugs to treat epilepsy.
Overall, Devinsky found that 33.9% of the patients had treatment-resistant epilepsy and 27.5% were seizure-free (no seizures during a 12-month period). The other 38.6% had insufficient information or infrequent seizures and were not placed into a category.
"We only have good follow-up data on two-thirds of the 127," he says. "Of those two-thirds, more than 50% have intractable epilepsy."
Those who were treatment-resistant reported seizure onset at an earlier age than those who were seizure-free. They also had more regression in developmental tasks. And they had more delays in motor and language skills.
Devinsky found that four patients who underwent epilepsy surgery had little or no improvement. Nine patients had another treatment, vagus nerve stimulation. Two of those had limited improvement and seven had no improvement in their epilepsy, he says.
"If a person with autism develops epilepsy and it's not easily contained with medication, he should seek consultation or care at an epilepsy center," Devinsky says.
If a child with autism has a seizure, he says, it's important to get an evaluation.
Autism and Epilepsy Linked, but Why?
The new research confirms what experts have suspected, says Solomon Moshe, MD, professor of neurology, neuroscience, and pediatrics and director of child neurology and clinical neurophysiology, Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, N.Y.
It also provides interesting data, he says. He reviewed the study findings for WebMD but was not involved in the study.
Experts can't explain the link between epilepsy and autism, Moshe says. "There may be a subset of genes that account for both the expression of autistic behavior and the seizure."
The link is under study by experts, including a task force of the International League Against Epilepsy, says Moshe. He is president of the organization. The journal Epilepsia is published on behalf of the International League Against Epilepsy.
Until more is known, Moshe says, those with autism or their caregivers need to be aware that the two conditions can occur together.
The hope, he says, is to develop medication that could treat both.
Another researcher has found that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) can help some with autism and epilepsy. "VNS can be a very safe adjunct in the treatment of epilepsy in kids both with and without autism," says Michael L. Levy, MD, PhD, a doctor at Children's Hospital of San Diego, University of California.
In his study, published last year in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, Levy looked at 77 children with autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy. He found they responded as well as other patients who did not have autism. They also had improvement in quality-of-life measures.
The nine children who had vagus nerve stimulation in the Devinsky study may be too few to reflect a benefit, he says.
''The study is important in that it shows how interlinked autism and epilepsy are," says Joseph Sirven, MD, chair elect of the professional advisory board of the Epilepsy Foundation. He reviewed the study findings. "Sadly, the epilepsy associated with autism appears to be of a severe variety."

Michael S. Kappy, M.D., Ph.D.
Chief, Pediatric Endocrinology, The Children's Hospital
Denver, Colorado
Addison's disease is a condition where the adrenal glands fail to secrete the normal
amounts of two hormones-cortisol and aldosterone. These hormones are vital to maintain
the balance of salt, blood sugar, and blood pressure in an individual. An English
physician, Thomas Addison, first described this disease almost 150 years ago.
When Thomas Addison first described it, the disease primarily was caused by a tuberculosis
infection that resulted from consuming the milk of tuberculous cows. In modern times,
the cause of Addison's disease is the production of antibodies against the adrenal
glands for reasons unknown. It is known that "autoimmune" diseases of the endocrine
glands can run in families, and more than one gland can be involved. Thus, individuals
with Addison's disease may have problems with their thyroid glands, or they may
develop diabetes.
This condition is sporadic. That is, although Addison's disease may run in families,
there is no clear mechanism of inheritance. Infected milk or any other contaminated
food no longer causes the disease.
The two major hormones of the adrenal gland-cortisol and aldosterone-are extremely
important in regulating the balance of salts and blood sugar in the body. In addition,
cortisol is a very important hormone in maintaining a normal blood pressure and
a normal reaction to physical stresses, such as infections, surgeries, or trauma.
The absence of these hormones during times of physical stresses can lead to shock;
a serious metabolic imbalance; and, if not treated rapidly, death.
In the untreated state, Addison's disease may be accompanied by weakness, weight
loss from decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting, and salt craving. Low blood pressure
and metabolic imbalance also may result in a decreased level of consciousness or
a coma. Addison's disease is rare in childhood, but children who are affected with
it may not have a normal growth pattern.
A hormone that darkens the skin often is elevated in untreated Addison's disease.
Thus, a person with this condition may show a tanning of the skin out of proportion
to sunlight exposure, and without a tan line. There also may be darkening in the
creases of the palms, soles, and fingers; along the gum line; and on the nipples.
Aside from the clinical signs and the signs found upon physical examination, including
low blood pressure, a diagnosis of Addison's disease is usually made using laboratory
tests. Typically, a patient has low blood sodium, high potassium (occasionally to
life-threatening levels), and low blood sugar. The antibodies against the adrenal
glands also can be measured; however, this test is just to confirm the diagnosis,
since the results may not be available for many days.
Fortunately, Addison's disease is treatable with oral forms of the missing hormones.
Cortisol is available in tablet form, and it is given 2 to 3 times a day. Aldosterone
is not available, but a substitute drug, Florinef, is available in tablet form,
and it is given 1 to 2 times daily. In emergencies, such as physical stresses (e.g.,
a fever of over 101 degrees or trauma), the daily dose of cortisol is tripled.
If the patient has an illness that is accompanied by vomiting, an intramuscular
injection of cortisol (Solu-Cortef) must be given at home. Then, the patient must
be taken to an emergency room for further treatment. All patients or their parents
must have a dose of Solu-Cortef at home and be instructed on the proper technique
to administer it.
The complications of untreated Addison's disease include cardiovascular collapse,
coma, and death.
Since there is no clear cause for the development of the antibodies against the
adrenal glands, Addison's disease cannot be prevented at this time.
Research is being conducted to clarify the relationship between Addison's disease
and other autoimmune diseases of the endocrine glands and other organs. Early recognition
and treatment of this condition, especially during physical stresses, are key in
preventing the complications caused by Addison's disease.

The influences come fast these days. First-wave post-punk greats were the order of the day a few years ago. Then came the return of the odd rave klaxon, and this year we've so far been subjected to prep-school afrobeat-loving whelps who may have already exhausted their source material.
Before someone decides to mix Japanese Noh music into their indie rock (it's bound to happen at some point), we're now being offered the samba-infused musings of Sargasso Trio and their debut LP, Burnin', Burnin', Burnin'.
Hailing from Norwich, the two men and lone woman of the band reportedly met in their local forty-piece marching samba band before taking logistical issues into account and trimming down to a three piece who dabble in the musical cross-pollination that's practically de rigueur in these low-cost airline days. So instead of being an unlikely samba act from Britain as their past may imply, the band pick and choose from a shared love of folk, samba, country and just the odd tinkling of '80s synths for their South America-meets-modern English pastoral vibe.
Sounds like the fixings for an electrifying cultural stew, doesn't it? The kind once championed by Tropicália legends Os Mutantes, or at least something peddled by alumni of the Devandra Banhart School for weirdo folk. Unfortunately, Sargasso Trio chose to play it surprisingly safe. Tracks like 'She's a Woman' stick to a palatable new-folk that merely flirts with samba or bargain-bin keyboards for results that are just a little too easy-listening for their own good.
Yet it's not all stuck in the middle of the road. Recent single 'Heels on Fire' amps up the carnivale rhythms, while 'Get Workin' On Me' pulls out all the stops by slamming together their Samba past and folk tendencies for a highlight that approaches breathtaking.
Not a failure then, but not the success it could have been. Burnin', Burnin', Burnin' allows us a peek at what Sargasso Trio might be capable of if they pushed things to an edge they occasionally approach here. Here's hoping they find the courage for next time.
