So what's the problem?
As long as he only claimed to make Seoul tap water as miraculous as the stuff at Lourdes (or the Ganges or whatever) I don't see any false advertising.
A South Korean professor's claims that his range of digital water filters could turn regular tap water into genuine Holy Water from Lourdes have brought an icy response from Seoul's police. According to local reports, one Professor Kim - said to work at a "prestigious medical school" - had sold the devices to almost 5,000 …
There's one born every minute
Whether they're stupid enough to buy digitally enhanced water in Korea, or stupid enough to pay a fortune for a visit to Lourdes itself, they deserve to be fleeced for every penny they have.
In fact, I've some water here that's been biologically enhanced by my kidneys, only £10 a bottle (£15 for the dark stuff from first thing this morning).
Mine's the one with the funnel, thanks.
Trying to prove in court that some voodoo bullshit selection of filters and cards is somehow making water less "holy" than some voodoo bullshit hand waving and chanting.
That should be interesting.
As for those who weren't cured, they obviously didn't *believe* in the power of the filter..........unless that excuse is somehow copyright to the waving 'n chanting types.
get some severely critical scrutiny before being acknowledged. Personally I'm unconvinced on theological grounds that Lourdes should be somehow special. But when I looked into it some time ago I was surprised to find that my scepticism didn't fit well with the actual outcomes.
Anyway, I'd recommend caution rather than dismissing the whole thing out of hand.
Lourdes has been attracting the sick for over 150 years and has attracted an estimated 200 million in total.
Out of these millions it is claimed that 6,000 to 7,000 have been cured on which only 66 are said to be miraculous.
7,000 out of 200 million is a very small percentage and can easily be accounted for by remissions.
Please don't make assumptions.
I looked up the number just before I posted in order to add weight to my argument that miracle healing is bunkum not out of curiosity as to its validity.
As for Vittorio Micheli, the only sources I could find had connections with some religious agency or other.
As if I'm going to take the church in Lourdes word for it considering the millions they make by promoting the myth and reinforcing Christian delusion.
As for the morals of getting terminally ill people to travel half way around the world for some snake oil, only a religious organisation could stoop so low.
Please don't make assumptions.
I looked up the number just before I posted in order to add weight to my argument that miracle healing is bunkum not out of curiosity as to its validity.
Apologies for the assumption. I hope I can make it right by complimenting you on your observance of the fine and honourable tradition of finding your forgone conclusion in the data. I had previously wrongly supposed that you had committed the despicable act of weighing the data and allowing it to inform your opinion.
"I hope I can make it right by complimenting you on your observance of the fine and honourable tradition of finding your forgone conclusion in the data"
It's not my contention that these events happen so the burden of proof is on you.
There is nothing like disagreeing with the dogmatic to make any argument pointless.
I either research and therefore must have doubts or I don't and am accused of preconceptions.
Please don't try your silly tricks on me until YOU can provide evidence to support YOUR claims.
Without God miracles cannot happen. I do not need to research the actual case of Lourdes as the total lack of any evidence in God establishes my case for me.
I wouldn't be very rational if I believed in something without any evidence, would I?
So, the ball is in your court, any verifiable impartial evidence will do, I won't hold my breath.
Smilies? Why, wasn't yourt post patronising enough?
I don't really care to argue a specific proposition. If I did, then yes the burden of proof (or at least reasonable evidence) would be on me. Likewise, if you wished to convince me of a proposition (be it a negative or positive assertion), then you would be the one who needed to come up with the goods.
My original assertion was that I recommend one not dismiss the possibility of miracles at Lourdes on the basis of assumption. That's still my recommendation, but no one is under any obligation to take my advice. Or to draw any particular conclusion if they do decide to investigate further.
As for the smilies, I thought they might have taken some of the sting out of my sarcasm - keep it light rather than descending into character assassination. I was surprised at your insistence that you didn't want to look at any evidence before forming an opinion, you see. Anyway, either I misunderstood you or the humour didn't work, whatever.
So, sorry about that. Peace?
The number of people who have "miraculous" cures at Lourdes is very small compared to the number of visitors. The number of these "miracles" which stand up to scientific scrutiny is even smaller. It's nothing more than background noise.
Of course, everyone who has been to Lourdes and recovers from the flu or whatever claims it was "a miracle" so the myth is self propagating.
I'll bet if you looked into the number of "cures from Lourdes" vs the number of people who were mysteriously cured but who also happened to eat a banana, you'd get roughly the same number....!!
Come now Geoff, we all no Homeopathy is real. It is down to the quantums in the molecules and the amazing memory that water has. Or something. I read it on the 'net, so it must be true.
Strange how the water doesn't remember all the people it has been through over the years, let alone all the salt and fish.
I read somewhere that, statistically, in a glass of water at least one of the molecules will have passed through the bladder of Oliver Cromwell. So presumably there must also be molecules in there that have experienced Caligula, Vlad the Impaler, Adolf Hitler and J Edgar Hoover.
On the whole, it's just as well the water doesn't remember, I should think. :)
"The police in turn checked in with the Seoul National University and Korean Institute of Science and Technology"
It really doesn't matter what the science crowd say. A theological claim is being made, not a scientific one, so the authority consulted ought to be a theologian.
I'm gonna get flamed/downvoted for this, I know.
Find somebody with a mass spectrometer or whatever you need to make a comparison between the two different waters. If they come out the same, then he's succeed and then it's just the "medical claims" he can be done on (but then it'll apply to the Lourdes water as well). Alas, due to difference in water supplies, they won't be able to come out identical as even a 0.001% difference would be enough for the believers to say "See - see that 0.001% that's the magic of Lourdes!"
"Holy water" is not the same as "Lourdes water".
Holy water is water that has been blessed by a priest for use in baptisms, blessings and the like.
Lourdes water is water that has been taken from a spring in the foothills of the Pyrenees. If it is to be used in blessings or baptisms, it still needs to go through the same rituals as any other water does in order to become holy water.
He's selling bullshit. Lourdes is selling bullshit.
How can that be false advertising?
Maybe the Catholic church should be prosecuted - unless they're too busy defending kiddie-fiddlers to take up other worthwhile causes.
P.S. For Sale: 1 genuine bottle of Flying Spaghetti Monster piss, £500. Cash only. Sold as sniffed.
"Kim claimed that he had digitally captured the healing powers of genuine Holy Water from the Catholic Shrine at Lourdes"
And he's right. His water has exactly the same healing power as the "genuine" stuff, with a fraction of the carbon footprint. Plus he's taking money from gullible people that otherwise would go to the Catholic Church.
They should be giving him a medal.

I have not really had time to blog about what I had been doing these past months. It's been a whirlwind time doing my usual mommy activities while participating in a new advocacy. Since October of 2009, I became part of a group of concerned citizen bloggers who wanted to do something other than our normal blogging. We wanted to push voter education and thought we could do something as there was quite a large online community if we put our readership together.
With my mommy blogger friend Noemi starting the whole effort, Blog Watch was put together. Starting with 16 bloggers, we grew to 31 by the time the May 10, 2010 elections came. By then, we had interviewed 7 of the 9 presidential aspirants (see pics below. I missed out on Bro. Eddie's interview), some running for VP and senators, and a few local government candidates.

Why is this called "best burger?" For a very good reason. The patties are made with a mix of short ribs, brisket, and chuck for a juicy, mouthwatering bite. Dress up these burgers with your favorite condiments or serve them naked.
This burger, made from short ribs, brisket, and chuck, illustrates a larger point about effort and technique. There's no reason something should be cooked a certain way just because that's the way it's usually done. When I think back on all those burgers I formed by hand, slapping ground beef thoughtlessly back and forth, back and forth, I weep with shame. Only an ambitious home cook will go the whole nine yards and make something as complex as the best burger, what we call a granulated burger. [Editor's Note: Uh, we didn't know what "granulated" meant in terms of the best burger, either. So we looked it up on the Mission Street Food blog. Here's what it had to say: "Granulation is our term for the process popularized by Heston Blumenthal, a Michelin 3-star chef based in London. Blumenthal combines strands of ground meat to create a loosely grained "meat column", then slices the column into patties. The result is, well, a delicacy." We're not going to argue.]
Never grill the best burger, because all of the fat and moisture will drip right out. Instead, searing the burger in a generous amount of fat creates an all-important moisture-sealing crust. Originally published August 6, 2012.–Anthony Myint and Karen Leibowitz
LC Best Burger Note
This isn't just any burger. This is an exquisitely complex burger, the best burger. Carefully hand-ground from short ribs and brisket and chuck, oh my, it's then oh-so-gently shaped, expertly sizzled, and handily assembled by the folks at Mission Street Food in San Francisco to create 16 of these burgers. (Uh, you can halve the recipe if you prefer.) If you like, you can also go beyond replicating just the burger part, slapping the patty with a slice of Monterey Jack cheese, smothering it with sliced onions coaxed to submission in hot beef fat, and sandwiching it with a pillowy yet sturdy toasted bun slathered with homemade mayo, just like the Mission folks do. Or do your own thing. Hungry? Us too.
Best Burger
- Quick Glance
- Makes about 16 burgers
Special Equipment: Meat grinder
- 4 1/2 pounds chuck, untrimmed
- 3 1/2 pounds brisket, untrimmed
- 3 pounds short ribs, untrimmed
- 4 tablespoons Morton's kosher salt OR 5 tablespoons of Diamond kosher salt
- Hamburger buns
- Cheese, if desired
- Pickles, homemade or store bought, if desired
- Condiments of your choice, homemade or storebought
- 1. Using a sharp knife, remove any "silver skin" and any tough, gristly parts from the chuck, the brisket, and the short ribs. Reserve the skin and gristle for making beef stock or, if you find them to be offputting, discard them.
- 2. Using your knife, slice off any large pieces of visible fat from the three different kinds of meat. Some fat may-and, in fact, ought to-remain. Reserve the trimmed fat.
- 3. Cut the chuck, brisket, and short ribs into 1-inch cubes, keeping the three kinds of beef separate. Weigh the beef, still keeping the kinds separate. You should end up with a total of about 7 pounds.
- 4. Salt the cuts of beef, using 1/2 cup of salt for 7 pounds of meat. (If you have more than 7 pounds of meat, use a little more salt; if you have less than 7 pounds, use a little less salt. You need just under a tablespoon of kosher salt per pound of beef.) Place the meat on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, still keeping the three kinds separate. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 2 days. Cover and refrigerate the reserved fat.
- 5. When you're ready to grind the meat, cut 1 1/2 pounds of the reserved fat into 1/2-inch cubes. (If you have more than 7 pounds of meat, use a little more fat; if you have less than 7 pounds of meat, use a little less fat.) Reserve the remaining chunks of fat.
- 6. Set up your meat grinder, whether it's the old-fashioned sort that clamps onto your counter or an attachment for your fancy schmancy food processor or stand mixer.
- 7. Grind the 1 1/2 pounds of cubed fat with the brisket and the short ribs and let it fall into a large bowl. Now fashion a wide landing strip of sorts from plastic wrap on your work surface, using multiple overlapping layers of plastic wrap. Pass the mixture of ground brisket and short ribs and fat through the grinder again, this time adding the chuck to create a textural variation. As the ground meat emerges from the grinder, carefully let the columns of ground meat fall alongside one another on the plastic wrap in a parallel formation. Then stack the meat columns to create a single large column of ground meat that's 5 inches in, uh, girth. Gently wrap the ground meat in plastic wrap, pressing firmly enough so the column holds together but not so firmly that you compress it too much. For ease of slicing, refrigerate the ground meat for at least an hour. (At this point you can wrap the column of meat in several layers of plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a couple of days or freeze it for up to three months.)
- 8. When you're ready to cook the best burger, unwrap the column of ground meat and, using a sharp knife, slice it to form as many best burger patties as you like, each 3/4 to 1 inch thick. Melt some of the reserved fat on a griddle or in a large, preferably cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. At the same time, heat another large but ungreased griddle or skillet over medium heat. Sear each patty, without budging it, for 60 to 90 seconds. A crust should form. Using a thin metal spatula, flip the patties and carefully sear the other side for 45 to 60 seconds. Transfer the patties to the ungreased skillet over medium heat to finish cooking to the desired doneness and to allow some of the grease to drain. The exact amount of time depends on how you like your burger. Transfer the burgers to a warm spot for another 2 minutes to rest and drain. (At Mission Street Food they use a wire rack set about an inch or so above the griddle. We think a wire cooling rack set on a rimmed baking sheet in a low oven will also do the trick.)
- 9. Assemble your burger however you darn well please.
Recipe Testers Reviews
Another 10. However, the recipe should really be cut in half. I am great friends with my butcher, and he willingly ground the meat for me. I came home with seven pounds of meat, cooked it up for three of us and still have lots in the freezer. So we did a side-by-side taste test. The Best Burger versus a freshly ground chuck burger, no frills. The Best Burger won, hands down. Without a doubt, it is the best burger I have ever eaten (there was moaning involved). Disclaimer: My butcher only sells local, grass-fed meat (aren't I lucky:)
I don't rate many recipes a "10," but this certainly warrants it. The different cuts of meat and the ability to adjust the fat content to your personal preference makes this recipe worth the effort. This also allows you to keep the grind coarse, so your burger isn't packed too tight, which makes it tough when you cook it. I quartered this recipe and still had large burgers and way more than the four I was expecting. I ended up with almost three pounds of meat. These are BIG burgers. It is important to follow the cooking instructions. Resist the urge to press your burgers, as this pushes the fat and moisture out and you'll end up with dry burgers. Letting the burger rest keeps them moist, just as with resting a steak or any other kind of meat.
Thank you, thank you! I've been searching for the perfect burger recipe for decades! This knocked our socks off...my husband's eyes literally rolled back into his head when he took his first bite. It was juicy, toothsome, and epically delicious! I halved the recipe and still had 6 rather large burgers; 3 to grill and 3 to freeze. I'd highly recommend serving these beauties on homemade hamburger rolls (you'll conveniently find an excellent recipe here!) with your favorite toppings. Or naked. They're perfect naked, and let's face it, not much is!
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

HOUSTON vs. CHIVAS USA
Kickoff: 7:30 p.m., StubHub Center
TV/Radio: None/1220-AM
Update: Despite a seven-game winless streak, Chivas (1-4-3) has not fallen into last place in the Western Conference standings, but the Goats understand they need to start finishing their scoring chances. Chivas has scored only seven times in eight games and Erick "Cubo" Torres has six of those goals, three coming on penalty kicks. Chivas scored only two goals in the four games of April. … Two of Chivas' promising newcomers, midfielder Thomas McNamara (knee) and defender Andrew Jean-Baptiste (sports hernia), underwent surgery this week. McNamara will be out for eight months and Jean-Baptiste is out for up to two months. … After this week, Chivas will have consecutive road games against Colorado and FC Dallas. … Houston (2-4-2), a traditionally strong team in the second half of the season, is tied for seventh place in the Eastern Conference but is only four points out of first place.

TEACHERS at Darwen Vale High School walked out on strike yesterday over plans to convert it into an academy.
And in scenes reminiscent of those outside the school three years ago, furious teachers and parents formed a picket line along the roadside.
Passing drivers beeped their horns as they went past the Blackburn Road school, where members of the National Union of Teachers and National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers held banners with messages including 'Darwen Vale must remain Darwen Vale', 'Support Our School' and 'No Aldridge Academy Here'.
The strikes have been prompted by the Department for Education's decision to make the school an academy after an 'inadequate' Ofsted report last year, despite improving GCSE results and a positive follow-up inspection report.
Staff and teachers have also voiced concerns at the DfE's preference of the Aldridge Foundation as sponsor, which already runs the town's other high schools, Darwen Academy and Darwen Enterprise Studio. Claire Ward, regional representative for NASUWT and a teacher at Darwen Vale, said there were 40 people on the picket line at its peak.
She said: "We got lots of support, especially from people driving past who beeped their horns and gave us the thumbs-up.
"I think we have made our point, but we won't know until we get a response.
"And if it comes back that the DfE is continuing to push through its academisation plans and forcing the school to join the Aldridge Foundation, we may well seek further industrial action."
In 2011, staff at the school went on strike over claims the management had failed to back up disciplinary actions against unruly pupils, which led to then-headteacher Hilary Torpey's resignation.
In a letter to parents, headteacher Fiona Jack, who took the reins in January 2012, said: "I have strived to remain neutral throughout the discussions and consultations around academy conversion and potential sponsor that have dominated recent months in order to focus on what matters most, leading this school forward and putting pupils first.
"It has been an extremely difficult period for everyone.
"We expect to have a decision from the education minister sometime next week.
"Whatever the outcome, my aim will be to keep us moving forward and to maintain the distinct and special identity of Darwen Vale High School."

Research Interests
- Phospholipase C and inositol lipid signaling
- P2Y receptors for extracellular nucleotides
- G proteins
Research Synopsis
The physiological responses of many hormones, neurotransmitters, growth factors, and other extracellular stimuli are mediated through phospholipase C (PLC)-catalyzed hydrolysis of membrane phosphoinositides. A long-term goal of our research is to delineate the molecular mechanisms whereby PLC activity is modulated by receptor-activated heterotrimeric and Ras superfamily G proteins, as well as by tyrosine phosphorylation. This work focuses on three PLC isozymes: (1) PLC-β isozymes, which are the prototypical heterotrimeric G protein-regulated PLCs, (2) PLC-ε, which is uniquely directly activated by both Rho and Ras GTPases acting through independent domains, and (3) PLC-γ isozymes, which are activated by phosphorylation by receptor and non-receptor tyrosine kinases.
Our research also focuses on mechanistic and pharmacological aspects of a class of G protein-coupled receptors (the eight member P2Y receptor family) that are activated by extracellular nucleotides.

NEW YORK — Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been banned for life from the NBA and fined $2.5 million for his racially-charged comments that were taped by his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, and sent to media outlets.
NEW YORK — Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been banned for life from the NBA and fined $2.5 million for his racially-charged comments that were taped by his girlfriend, V. Stiviano, and sent to media outlets.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver made the unprecedented announcement during a press conference on Tuesday.
Silver said that the NBA conducted a comprehensive investigation, which included an interview with Sterling, who, according to Silver, confirmed it was his voice on the tape.
"I am urging the NBA Board of Governors to force the sale of the team," said Silver, who added he didn't decide until Tuesday morning what the punishment would be.
The discipline issued is based on the Silver's conclusion that Sterling violated league rules through his expressions of offensive and hurtful views, the impact of which has been widely felt throughout the league. The fine was the maximum allowed under current NBA constitution and Silver added he has the full support of other NBA owners regarding the punishment.
"I agree 100 percent with Commissioner Silver's findings and the actions taken against Donald Sterling," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tweeted shortly after the announcement.
The recording became public on Friday when TMZ.com posted nearly 10 minutes of audio it said is a conversation between Sterling and his girlfriend, in which a man tells a woman he is bothered by her association with African-Americans and asks her not to bring them to Clippers games.
Deadspin also released another tape said to be Sterling and his girlfriend, in which the man tells the woman he supports the players because his money pays for their food, clothes, cars and houses.
The backlash to Sterling's comments have been widespread.
Clippers players held a silent protest prior to their 118-97 Game 4 playoff loss to Golden State on Sunday, while a number of team sponsors have either terminated their deals or put their partnership on hold. Golden State head coach Mark Jackson also suggested that fans not show up to the playoff games in Los Angeles as a protest and others would like to see Sterling forced to sell the team.
Additionally, the Los Angeles branch of the NAACP has returned donations from Sterling and decided to not honor him with a second lifetime achievement award he was scheduled to receive at a banquet in May.
"Commissioner Silver showed great leadership in banning LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life," tweeted former Lakers great Earvin "Magic" Johnson. "Former and current NBA players are very happy and satisfied with Commissioner Silver's ruling "
Nearly lost in the middle of this mess is that the Clippers are set to host the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night in Game 5 of their Western Conference quarterfinal with the series even at two games apiece.
Sterling did not attend Game 4 in Oakland. Now, with the suspension he is not allowed to be with the team or have any involvement in any day-to-day operations.
Clippers head coach Doc Rivers released a statement on Monday, saying that fans should stick with the team through this tough time and that everyone within the organization is "upset and embarrassed by the situation."
"We are all trying to figure out everything as it goes and just do our best and we hope that it is the right answer," said Rivers in the statement. "I'm still going to do my best and do what I think is best for the team and for everybody in this case. It is very difficult because there are so many emotions in this. This is a very emotional subject, this is personal."
This is not the first time Sterling, who has owned the Clippers since 1981, has been embroiled in controversy.
In 2009, he was fined over $2.7 million by the U.S. Justice Department to settle allegations he discriminated against African-Americans, Hispanics and families with children at apartment buildings he controls in Los Angeles.
Two years later, Sterling won a lawsuit filed by former Clippers general manager Elgin Baylor, who accused the team of firing him based on his age.
Sterling also previously reached a settlement with a former employee who accused him of sexual harassment.

Einstein Researchers Receive Two Grand Challenges Explorations Grants to Combat HIV and Tuberculosis
Solving the Puzzle of Cognitive Problems Caused By HIV Infection
Professor, Department of Pathology
Professor, Department of Microbiology & Immunology
Irving D. Karpas Chair in Medicine
Senior Academic Advisor to the Sue Golding Graduate Division
Dr. Berman's laboratory examines the mechanisms that mediate HIV entry into the CNS and how viral and inflammatory mediators damage neurons and other CNS cells. More than 40 million people worldwide are HIV infected. As a result of antiretroviral therapies, HIV infected people are living longer. HIV enters the CNS early after infection and despite therapy, persists within the CNS. Prevalence of NeuroAIDS and its associated cognitive impairment is increasing. An understanding of mechanisms that mediate these effects are critical to the development of therapeutic strategies.
HIV infection of the CNS can have devastating consequences, often resulting in cognitive impairment and severe neurological complications. The basis of this impairment is poorly understood. Although its development is associated with early viral infiltration of the CNS, the number of activated monocytes/macrophages within the CNS appears to be a better indicator of neurologic compromise than viral load, suggesting that leukocyte infiltration and cognitive impairment are tightly correlated. How infected monocytes cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and infiltrate the CNS is not well understood. This process is critical to the development of NeuroAIDS as it brings leukocytes into the brain where they activate and infect microglia, and effect damage to the BBB and other CNS cells. The mechanisms of HIV-infected monocyte transmigration across the BBB have only been minimally characterized. We are characterizing several of the steps in this transmigration process using a tissue culture model of the human BBB. We analyze the mechanisms that mediate attachment and diapedesis of HIV-infected monocytes across the BBB to identify markers that contribute to brain infection and BBB disruption, such as adhesion molecules, tight junction and adherens proteins, chemokines and their receptors. The lab has a major translational component, examining sera and CSF from HIV infected individuals for predictors of cognitive impairment, as well as patient cells for unique markers of this impairment and for their ability to transmigrate across the blood brain barrier. We examine tissue from HIV-infected individuals for altered proteins. The overall goal is to identify targets for therapeutic intervention to limit the entry of HIV into the CNS.
Many HIV-infected people who abuse drugs have more extensive CNS damage associated with significant cognitive impairment. As many drugs of abuse cause an increase in extracellular dopamine, we examine the effects of dopamine on HIV infection of macrophages. We demonstrated that dopamine increases HIV infection of human macrophages and are addressing the mechanisms by which dopamine causes this increase as well as alterations in macrophage function. We also study the impact of buprenorphine and methadone, therapies for Opiate abuse, in the context of NeuroAIDS.

Today, along with other volunteers from the British Columbia Genealogical Society, I attended Mountain View Cemetery's Open House. Mountain View Cemetery is owned and operated by the City of Vancouver and opened in 1887, but many areas in the cemetery have recently been renovated or rebuilt. There is new landscaping, new columbaria and new offices and a Celebration Hall. This event offered Vancouverites and others an opportunity to see those improvements.
The weather was glorious and everyone I talked to was enjoying the music, the tours, the new cemetery facilities and the chance to meet others interested in the cemetery and its history.
Some visitors were from old Vancouver families with many relatives resting at Mountain View. Others were new to the city and wanting to get to know it better. Quite a few were Mountain View neighbours and are accustomed to walking through the cemetery regularly - as one fellow said: 'this is our marble park'. And a few were genuine taphophiles - people with a passion for enjoying and learning about cemeteries.

We brought books and articles about BC cemeteries, including our own index of Mountain View gravestones, and we answered lots of questions about these and about family history research in general.
Our main aim today though was to interest Mountain View Cemetery visitors in joining a new 'Friends of Mountain View Cemetery' group. Many signed our contact list. We hope to encourage and support cultural programmes at the cemetery, including regular tours and the annual Night for All Souls event, for example, as well as heritage preservation and education at and about Mountain View.
By far my own favourite among the recently renovated areas at the cemetery is the Infants section, formerly a communal grave area, which now commemorates about 10,000 stillborn or very young infants buried in the cemetery between 1914 and 1971 - most in common graves. In 2005-2006, this was landscaped with a dry stream bed - "One Stone for Every Infant..." where stones engraved with an infant's name can be placed.

All in all, a very good day. I do hope that Mountain View Cemetery's Open House will become an annual summer event in Vancouver.

Before charges of prostitution in Kennebunk set off a media frenzy, the most high-profile case that Kathryn Slattery had handled as York County's district attorney involved a puppy mill in Buxton.
Now, Slattery and Deputy District Attorney Justine McGettigan, the lead prosecutor in the prostitution case, are under the glare of scrutiny, from the public and from experts and attorneys — those who are connected to the case and some who aren't.
Some observers say they're surprised at how the prosecutors have handled aspects of the case, in particular the slow, drop-by-drop release of information including the names of alleged prostitution clients of Alexis Wright. More names are expected to be released Friday on the Kennebunk Police Department's biweekly crime blotter.
Others say it's premature to criticize the work of local detectives or the District Attorney's Office without knowing what information they have.
Everyone, though, appears to agree that the case is without legal precedent, at least in Maine.
While it's not uncommon for high-profile criminal cases to drag on for months with legal maneuvering, the prosecution has raised eyebrows with its deliberate approach in this case involving mostly misdemeanors whose typical punishment is a fine on par with a parking ticket.
"I don't understand the benefit, to anyone, of dragging it out like this," said Paul Aranson, a former prosecutor who's now a defense attorney representing one of the suspected clients. "It will be interesting to see how it plays out."
According to court documents, police began investigating Wright in February after word began to spread that she was using her Zumba dance studio for illicit activities. The investigation went public in July with the arrest of Mark Strong, a businessman in Thomaston who police say acted as Wright's business partner.
Evidence seized from Wright's studio and her home in Wells connected her to Strong through bank records and explicit video footage.
Wright wasn't charged until early October, when a York County grand jury indicted her on 106 counts, most of them promoting prostitution or engaging in prostitution. She also is charged with theft by deception, evasion of income tax and failure to pay tax.
The case has drawn national attention, for its lurid details and what authorities say is a list of as many as 150 clients, including some well-known figures.
Daniel Lilley, Strong's attorney, has accused Slattery's office of mishandling the case, citing its failure to provide him with evidence.
Lilley has played a key role in drawing public interest to the case. As soon as his client was charged, Lilley said he would fight to make sure the list of clients was released.
He also created buzz by telling reporters that the list includes prominent figures. So far, the best known name has been that of James A. Soule, a former mayor of South Portland.
In the one major court hearing in the case so far, in early October, McGettigan drew Lilley's ire when she told the judge that Strong's computer contained "markers" consistent with child pornography. Lilley said he was blind-sided by that claim and has denied it.
Justice Nancy Mills responded by telling prosecutors to be more prepared to share information.
Wright's attorney, Sarah Churchill, has not been as outspoken in her criticism, saying only, "There are things about the investigation and the way the prosecution has been handled that are certainly unusual."
McGettigan has declined to comment on the case in the last few weeks. She did not return calls for comment this week.
Slattery issued a news release last month saying her office will not comment on any pending cases.
Robert Ruffner, a defense lawyer who is not involved in the case, said he's not surprised by their silence.
"They are not at all looking for headlines. They could care less about that. They want to do what's right for the process, including for the people charged. They're not looking to make a big deal of it because they can," Ruffner said.
Melvyn Zarr, a professor at the University of Maine School of Law, said he doesn't know whether the prosecutors are correct in charging suspects in waves or should have waited to charge them all at once.
"You have to be in the prosecutor's shoes," he said. "It's a function of adequate resources and time. You have to investigate the case. In an ideal world, you would have infinite resources."
Zarr said the case is so unusual that it is hard to analyze at all.
McGettigan, who has been a prosecutor for many years, is now undoubtedly involved in her most high-profile case.
Slattery has been a prosecutor for more than two decades, and has been district attorney since 2010. She succeeded Mark Lawrence, who held the office for eight years.
In her two years as the county's top prosecutor, Slattery has largely stayed out of the media spotlight, except in one drawn-out case in 2011 that involved animal-cruelty charges. Slattery was criticized for accepting a plea agreement.
Ruffner described both women as experienced professionals.
McGettigan, he said, is always very prepared and brings no "baggage" to a case.
"Don't think that you're going to be able to win a case or win an argument because she's not ready," Ruffner said.
Slattery isn't afraid of any trial or argument and doesn't engage in posturing, Ruffner said.
J.P. DeGrinney, a defense attorney who represents several of the suspected clients, said he believes both prosecutors are pursuing the public good as they see it.
"They don't make a lot of noise and get the job done," he said.
The police investigation has drawn its share of speculation.
Churchill said prosecutors usually wait until an investigation is mostly finished before bringing charges. But the investigation in this case has continued since police first searched Wright's home and office in February.
Since Strong and Wright were indicted, Kennebunk police have been issuing court summonses to alleged clients and releasing their names in small batches. So far, 39 names have been released, on Oct. 16 and Oct. 26. Every time new names are released, there is renewed interest in the case.
Lt. Anthony Bean Burpee, head of the Kennebunk Police Department's detective division, said clients are being charged as the evidence is processed and as the prosecution develops probable cause.
"This process can be faster for some individuals than others," Bean Burpee said. "It really is dependent upon how much cooperation investigators are able to obtain and how fast evidence can be processed."
Even the way in which the defendants' names were first released was controversial. After last-minute attempts were made in court to keep the names private, Kennebunk police released the first batch without identifying features such as middle initials, addresses or ages.
That caused confusion and drew criticism from men with the same names as men on the list. A judge then decided that Kennebunk police should re-issue the list with more identifying information.
Given what has happened over the last several months, it's hard to predict what will happen next.
Most lawyers said it's unlikely that any men will take their cases to trial and risk additional scrutiny, although some may want to try to clear their names.
It's much more likely that the cases against Wright and Strong will go to trial.
That would shift attention to Mills, the justice who was brought in to oversee the case after Justice Joyce Wheeler recused herself.
Mills has a reputation as a "highly respected, strict, no-nonsense" judge, said Jim Burke, a University of Maine School of Law professor.
"I'm sure that her name went into the running because it was known she could keep control of the case. She's not going to let things slip up," Burke said.
Burke said he doesn't think that Mills will let the case go on any longer than necessary.
"One of the problems that the state may have with Justice Mills is she may want to move the case along quickly, and if they're not ready to move, it may be dismissed," Burke said. "She does not suffer fools gladly. You'd better do your job right."
He described the case as a "soap opera car wreck."
"You want to have a good judge for those because they're already a circus," Burke said. "You don't want them spinning out of control.

Warfarin is a medicine that helps prevent blood clots. Because it prevents clots, it also helps prevent heart attacks, strokes, and other problems caused by blood clots.
It's important to know how to take warfarin safely.
Warfarin is a pill that you take regularly to help prevent blood clots. Coumadin is the common brand name for warfarin.
Warfarin is often called a "blood thinner," although it doesn't really thin your blood. It works by increasing the time it takes for blood clots to form.
Warfarin also keeps an existing clot from getting larger.
Warfarin is taken to prevent serious problems that are caused by blood clots. These problems can be life-threatening. They include stroke, heart attack, and pulmonary embolism. If you are at risk for one of these problems, your doctor may prescribe warfarin for you. For example, warfarin is taken by people who:
Some people also take warfarin while they recover from certain types of surgery, such as a hip replacement.
When I take warfarin, my blood takes longer to clot.
Warfarin works by increasing the time it takes for blood clots to form.
It also keeps an existing clot from getting larger.
Continue to Why?
Taking warfarin safely is important, because it can cause bleeding problems. You will get regular blood tests to make sure you are getting the safest dose possible.
But because warfarin slows the amount of time it takes for your blood to clot, you need to be extra careful. Bleeding problems can happen when you:
I need to be careful to avoid injury when I take
It's important to avoid getting hurt while taking
warfarin. An injury may cause bleeding that is
hard to control.
It is important to avoid getting hurt while taking
warfarin. An injury may cause bleeding that is
hard to control.
Continue to How?
Warfarin causes you to bleed more quickly when you're injured. So be sure to avoid doing things that increase your chances of bleeding. These are the four main steps you need to take:
Regular blood tests will help your doctor make sure you are taking the right amount of warfarin.
Things like an infection or a small change in your diet can change the way warfarin works. So can other medicines that you are taking. That's why regular testing is so important. The tests tell your doctor whether your dose needs to be changed.

Make these changes to prevent injuries:
Taking other medicines along with warfarin can cause a bad reaction. For example, some medicines can change the way warfarin works so you bleed too easily. Or warfarin can change the way the other medicine works.
Talk to your doctor before you take any prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, antibiotics, vitamins, or herbal products. If other doctors prescribe something for you, be sure they know that you take warfarin. Here are some examples of medicines that you need to be careful of:
Follow these safety tips for taking medicines:
What to do if you miss a dose of your warfarin
If you miss a dose of warfarin, the best thing to do is call your doctor.
He or she can tell you exactly what to do so you don't take too much or too little. That way you'll stay as safe as possible.
But here are some general rules:
Most people who take warfarin can eat normally. But make sure that you don't suddenly eat a lot more or a lot less food that is high in vitamin K than you usually do.
Vitamin K helps your blood to clot so wounds don't bleed too much.
Warfarin makes blood clots form more slowly. Suddenly changing the amount of vitamin K you eat each day could keep warfarin from working well.
How to get a steady amount of vitamin K
Foods that are medium-high to high in
vitamin K
Follow these general rules when you take warfarin:
If you are pregnant, do not take warfarin. Warfarin can cause miscarriage or birth defects. If you are taking warfarin, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
If you think you might be pregnant, call your doctor. If you are pregnant, you will take heparin during your pregnancy.
If you plan on getting pregnant, talk with your doctor. You and your doctor will decide which medicine you will take—warfarin or heparin—while trying to get pregnant.
Call 911 if:
Be on the alert for
signs of bleeding, and call your doctor right away if:
If you are injured, apply pressure to stop bleeding. Realize that it
will take longer than you are used to for the bleeding to stop. If you can't get the bleeding to stop, call your doctor.
I should stop eating anything that contains vitamin K.
Vitamin K is an important nutrient that helps your blood clot so you don't bleed too much. You should not stop eating it altogether. You just need to keep a steady amount in your blood so your medicine can work well.

Now that you have read this information, you are ready to make sure you are taking your warfarin safely.

With Billy Collins' eighth collection of poetry comes a bit of a departure from his previous works. To be sure, Billy Collins fans (of which I am one) will find this collection to be demonstrative of his signature style. However, there is an element of Ballistics that seems a bit deeper and a little more dark than we are typically accustomed to from our former Poet Laureate.
Other reviewers (see links at end of this post) who are much more well-read in poetry than I am, have also commented on this feeling, so I was glad to see it wasn't just me being my hyper-critical self. Ballistics does tend to leave the reader slightly disappointed, I have to say. Maybe it's because, while these poems still remain true to Collins' format of being ones that the ordinary person can understand and relate to, there are more than a few that require a second reading (or third) to fully understand and appreciate its meaning. Maybe we're not used to working that hard with a Billy Collins' poem. Regardless, it's not necessarily a bad thing ... it's just different.
There are also several poems set in European locales that, I think, would perhaps resonate more if one had travelled to those (or similar) places. I have not, and I think that could have contributed to my difficulty with those particular poems. That's more of a deficiency with me, personally, though, not necessarily the poem itself.
Still, there are several poems in Ballistics that are the stuff of the Billy Collins that I adore, like "Divorce."
Once, two spoons in bed,
now tined forks
across a granite table
and the knives they have hired.
See? That's vintage Collins and sheer poetic genius, in my humble opinion. With 18 words about utensils (and so much more), this reader thinks, "That is brilliant to equate silverware with the facets of a marriage and divorce proceedings." It speaks so much in these four lines - how many meals this couple may have shared, was their first date in a restaurant?, the symbolism represented by the unnamed food itself, the nourishment of the relationship (now cleared away), or even the breadbasket that would have been on a restaurant table, now substituted for the money that will be invoiced from the divorce attorneys.
Here's another that I liked (because I'm kind of morbid):
On the Death of a Next-Door Neighbor
So much younger and with a tall, young son
in the house above ours on a hill,
it seemed that death had blundered once again.
Was it poor directions, the blurring rain,
or the too-small numerals on the mailbox
that sent his dark car up the wrong winding driveway?
Surely, it was me he was looking for -
overripe, childless, gaudy with appetite,
the one who should be ghosting over the rooftops
not standing barefooted in this kitchen
on a sun-shot October morning
after eight days and nights of downpour
me with my presumptuous breathing,
my arrogant need for coffee,
my love of the colorful leaves beyond the windows.
The weight of my clothes, not his,
might be hanging in the darkness of a closet today,
my rake idle, my pen across a notebook.
The harmony of this house, not his,
might be missing a voice,
the hallways jumpy with the cry of the telephone -
if only death had consulted his cracked leather map,
then bent to wipe the fog
from the windshield with an empty sleeve.
For people who have not read Billy Collins' previous work, Ballistics is not necessarily the collection I would recommend starting with. It is one that fans of Collins would find elements of enjoyment, albeit with a different perspective than most of his previous work.
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
Here's what some other bloggers had to say ....

Welcome to the New DipNote!
By Ashli L. Savoy, Jaclyn A. Cole on January 20, 2017
Today we are very excited to share with you a new look for DipNote, the U.S. Department of State's official blog.
So you're probably wondering, why "DipNote?" Well, our name -- "DipNote" -- is an ode to "Diplomatic Notes," a formal written communication between countries, which has been used for centuries by Ministries of Foreign Affairs around the world, including the State Department.

Killer Camera
I would walkout on stage and take a picture of the audience with my camera.
Then tell the story about the Killer Cameras.
I have had several different cameras in this time period. Some film and some
digital and taken thousands of pictures.
In 1993 I met a Cambodian lady, in Portland, and we were married. In 1996 we
went to Cambodian.
Now Cambodian have a superstition that if there are three people in a picture
the middle person will die.
So, I never have take 3 in a picture. It is either 1, 2, 4, or more.
However, in 1996 a couple of days after we left Cambodia, having taken 33 rolls
of film, my wife's uncle died. He was sick the day we left Camboidia. He was coined at home and then saw us off at the airport. He died from high blood pressure three days later.
2005: I went with a church group to build a church. I stayed an extra week and
visited my wife's family. I took pictures of my wife's mother. 3 weeks later she
2008: I went to a nieces wedding and went to visit my wife's father and took
some pictures. Several weeks after I returned to the States he died.
2009: I went to Thailand to visit a school and teacher with whom I had been
corresponding. There was a 21 year old student from Arizona State teaching
English on a one year exchange. I took pictures of him and 3 weeks after I came
home he was killed in a bus accident.
In the village where I stayed there was a new house blessing. Buddhist priests
had a ceremony and most of the village was there for a potluck. I took many
pictures. One was of a man in a yellow shirt. The next night his wife stabbed
him in stomach. He went to the Hospital and she to jail.
2009: I took behind the scenes pictures of a Cambodian Oral History documentary.
In July of 2010 one of the people giving their Oral History of the Cambodian Killing Fields died
from Cancer. He was the father of my step-granddaughter.
Jan 2010: I went with a dental team to take pictures of them working on Orphans.
4 months after returning home one of the dentists had a major heart and died. 7
months after my return a lady with whom I had traveled cross country, in
Cambodia in a party of 4, died of Jaundice.
June 12 2010: I bought a camera from a friend. He died from Cancer in July 2. My
niece took some pictures of me with that camera at a fundraiser, where I was the
auctioneer. A couple of weeks later I went to the hospital with a brain
Nov 2010: I have taken pictures of a 93 year old Cambodian woman, my pastors
mother. She got lost in the woods for two nights. She was found under a pile of
leaves, alive.
Do you want me to take your Picture?

Oscar De La Hoya (born February 4, 1973 in East Los Angeles, California) is a retired Mexican American boxer. Nicknamed "The Golden Boy", De La Hoya won a gold medal at the Barcelona Olympic Games shortly after graduating from Garfield High School. De La Hoya comes from a boxing family. His grandfather Vicente, father Joel Sr., and brother Joel Jr. were all boxers. De La Hoya was The Ring's "Fighter of the Year" in 1995 and Ring Magazine's top-rated Pound for Pound fighter in the world in 1997 & 1998. De La Hoya officially announced his retirement from the sport at a press conference held in Los Angeles on April 14, 2009.
De La Hoya has defeated 17 world champions and has won 10 world titles in six different weight classes. He has also generated more money than any other boxer in the history of the sport, an estimated $696 million pay-per-view income.
De La Hoya founded Golden Boy Promotions, a combat sport promotional firm. He is the first American of Hispanic descent to own a national boxing promotional firm and one of the few boxers to take on promotional responsibilities while still active.

From his first term in the House, Rep. Eric Cantor conveyed a sense that his rise through Republican ranks was inevitable.
After securing an A-list assignment to the Ways and Means Committee, he was appointed to a seat at the leadership table as chief deputy whip.
Now, he is House majority leader, second only to Speaker John Boehner. It is his job to navigate a fired-up majority caucus through tough votes on spending, cuts to popular entitlements such as Social Security and Medicare, and an increase in the national debt limit – a move that many GOP newcomers oppose. A misstep risks a government shutdown.
IN PICTURES: Will these Republicans run in 2012?
"The wave election that occurred in November was the result of the public repudiating an agenda that seemed out of touch to a majority of Americans," Mr. Cantor says in an interview with the Monitor. "Now we need to translate that experience into governing as a majority."
This week could be a key test for Cantor. The diverse Republican caucus is becoming restive over the prospect that the House will vote on yet another stop-gap spending measure to keep the government running, rather than on a final budget for the last six months of this fiscal year – and it is Cantor's job to lead the majority to hold ranks for the vote this week.
"We've made some solid first downs on spending. Now it's time to look to the end zone," complained Rep. Jim Jordan (R) of Ohio, who chairs the 176-member Republican Study Committee, in a statement Monday announcing his opposition to the latest House measure.
Without another such continuing resolution, funding for government runs out Friday. Cantor said in a press briefing Monday that GOP leaders expect that this three-week extension will be the last before a budget deal is struck with Democrats and the White House. "We hope and intend this to be the last one," he said.
The lawmaker for Virginia's Seventh District is smart, tireless, and conspicuously polite. He's a prodigious fundraiser – giving more of his own campaign funds to other candidates than any other national politician for two of the past three election cycles. He also is the only Jewish Republican in the House or Senate.
After serving as chief deputy whip for Republicans for three terms, he became House minority whip in 2008. In a controversial move, he rallied House Republicans to vote unanimously against President Obama's $787 billion stimulus bill and signature health-care reform.
Although Cantor has excelled at challenging Democrats, he's also taken a critical line on his own party's history. "[W]e must govern differently. Not just differently than the Democrats, but differently from our previous majority," he wrote in a letter to GOP colleagues after the midterm elections.
The education of a majority leader
Cantor grew up in an upscale neighborhood at the edge of Richmond, where established families date back to the nation's founding or its near-breakup during the Civil War. By contrast, his own family is two generations away from anti-Jewish pogroms in Russia.
"I went to school and met people with a lot of history in Virginia ... and understood at some point that this was America, a merit-based society, and that if you worked hard, you could achieve whatever you wanted to achieve," Cantor says.
As a student at George Washington University, he interned for then-US Rep. Thomas Bliley (R) of Virginia. "He just had a natural talent, and that was recognized when he came [to the House] as a freshman," Mr. Bliley recalls.
A Roman Catholic, Bliley says he was drawn to Cantor's ability to make connections outside his own Jewish community. In big-city politics, a Catholic or Jewish politician can afford to stay within his or her own neighborhood, says Bliley, "but when you're in a neighborhood with a majority of people who are neither Catholic nor Jewish, you have to move to the larger community in order to succeed."
After gaining a law degree at the College of William & Mary, Cantor moved to New York, where he earned a master's in real estate management from Columbia University and met his wife, Diana. By 1991, he had won election to the Virginia House of Delegates.
"He quickly became the go-to guy for many delegates who didn't understand the complex business issues that were being considered or debated. He could explain it," says Richard Cullen, a former Virginia attorney general, now chairman of the corporate law firm McGuireWoods in Richmond.
When Bliley announced his retirement from Congress, he backed Cantor to replace him. In the end, it was a tough GOP primary, including 11th-hour campaign ads targeting Cantor's Jewish background. Cantor won the primary by 263 votes – and then the general election by 67 percent of the vote. He has sailed through reelections ever since.
At the time, Republicans were in their seventh year of controlling the House. Speaker Newt Gingrich had lost a high-profile standoff with President Clinton over spending. Majority whip Tom DeLay's K Street Project – a bid to pressure Washington's corporate-lobby firms to hire more Republicans and contribute to GOP campaigns – fueled charges that GOP leaders were selling access.
As he had in Richmond, Cantor became a strong advocate of expanding opportunities for business, but without the scandal associated with Mr. DeLay. "He's clean as a hound's tooth," says Mr. Cullen.
What appealed to GOP leaders was Cantor's ability to reach out to both business groups and Jewish voters and give a fresh face to Republican leadership. His main district office is in an industrial park in Glen Allen, flanked by headquarters of banks, health-care associations, and insurance companies.
The 'young guns' strategy
In 2007, Cantor cofounded the "young guns" program to recruit and fund "a new generation of conservative leaders." Of the 92 young guns in the 2010 campaign, 62 are now serving in the House. They are driving a new majority that says it aims to shift Congress from a culture of overspending to a focus on oversight and budget cutting.
Since the new Congress convened, Cantor has been quietly meeting with freshmen for small, social dinners twice a week. To date, he's met with more than 90 percent of the GOP freshman class.
Like Speaker Boehner, Cantor dismisses calls to "control" the new lawmakers. But with the Senate opposed to anything like the $61 billion in cuts passed by the House, and with House freshmen committed to maintaining those cuts, GOP leaders have a big struggle on their hands.
Cantor boils his leadership approach down to a single rule, posted on cards in his office: "Are my efforts addressing job creation and the economy; are they reducing spending; and are they shrinking the size of the Federal Government while increasing and protecting liberty? If not, why am I doing it? Why are WE doing it?"
A fan of social networking, Cantor launched a plan last May to encourage voters to make recommendations for wasteful or ineffective programs to cut, which he dubbed YouCut. The plan in the new Congress has been to offer a YouCut item for an up-or-down vote each week the House is in session.
Democrats dub these cuts "website gimmicks" and "popularity contests," but the first proposal, to end duplicative government printing, passed unanimously. A subsequent vote to abolish presidential-election campaign funds picked up 10 Democratic votes, although other proposed cuts have not fared as well.
It is not inevitable, Cantor says, that Republicans will wind up shutting down the government. He says in the Monitor interview: "Where we will coalesce will be around ... job creation and growing the economy."

Goodbyn goodness
In the "head" section of the Goodbyn is a frozen yogurt push-up (simply fill a silicone pop mold with yogurt and freeze), a string cheese, and a clementine orange.
In the "body" section is a silicone bowl of strawberry granola, the side sections hold grapes and pickles. There is ice water in the Goodbyn bottle and a few carrots are in the tiny section.
The silicone bowl (Kinderville Storage Jar) comes with a nice lid that contains the small granola bits from falling out.
The frozen yogurt pop works great in the Goodbyn because it is nice and cold and helped keep the cheese and clementine chilled. Since one of the biggest downfalls of the Goodbyn is that it can be difficult to keep the contents cool, this worked out really well. :)

I'm so glad you posted this because I just got an amazing deal on a goodbyn ($3) but once I got it I wondered how I was going to keep it cold. I hadn't though of putting ice in the water bottle!

I just got a Goodbyn, but I can't believe how BIG it is! I just can't imagine my 8-year old being able to eat what it will hold. I haven't used it yet, but my other qualm with it is that the lid doesn't seem to fit snugly on. If I have one side sealed, the other side pops up. Have you had problems like this with it?

- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Liza, LOL! That lid is verrrry tricky. Your Goodbyn should have come with instructions - did you see those? There is actually a "map" for how to pop the lid on correctly. You need to use both hands, so you are pushing both sides of each section at the same time.

i was wondering if the container that holds the granola would fit inside an easylunchbox. thanks so much ~
- December 9, 2010 at 11:58 PM
Tell me about this yogurt pop, does it work like freezing a gogurt? (that we no longer use because of food dyes) So its thawed and they have to just push the yogurt up?

Joseph, no, unfortunately the Kinderville storage jar does not fit in an EasyLunchbox. :(
That's actually why I bought them in the first place - I hoped they'd fit in the EasyLunchboxes. The jars are much too tall.

- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Elisabeth, that's exactly how it works! I fill with yogurt, screw the cap on, freeze. Then the kids just push from the bottom and the yogurt pushes up. One end is tapered, so it's really easy to get the yogurt moving up. :)

hey Jen, I've had those spoons a long time (little forks also came in the set) - they are "official" bento gear from a bento shop in CA... you may have luck finding them at one of the bento shops I have listed in the right margin of my blog, or maybe on ebay. :)
