Parents are occasionally Hypocrites.
No matter what we intend, or how hard we try, sometimes our best attempts to be a role model simply falls short. We can't always be the best version of our parental self.
National Elections are around the corner, and even for a political junkie like myself - this season of campaigning, nominating, debating and debunking has been exhausting. While I intended to be a level headed, civic minded citizen in 2016, I must admit to political lethargy took over this go-around. It's been a busy fall for us all, and the political pollution has been numbing.
Yet, our children are watching, so let's dig-in for one more week and make sure that we and our kids see us do our part.
While our political views might vary, getting out and Voting is essential. Even if your kids witness you complaining about jury duty or cursing out that traffic cop, we can still engage is the democratic political process... Even if our kids have seen us hang up on noisy house calls for political contributions, still make sure you pay attention this week and get your ballot into the voting booth.
We can all seek out opportunities to see American Politics in action. There is still time to engage in America.
Some ideas for Parent/Kid Political Engagements:
- Visit your Local Headquarters - Republican or Democratic.
- Study your Sample Ballot that came in the mail and discuss various Ballot Measures (State and Local)
- Buy a bumper stick or a lawn sign (or a hat or t-shirt)
- Canvas a neighborhood to get out the vote.
- Find a Phone Bank that will accept helpful kids with appropriate tasks.
- Teenagers can man phone-lines – and nobody has to know they're still wearing braces.
- Younger kids can sort and stamp and soak up the volunteer spirit.
- Visit a Battleground State where your canvasing help is more needed.
- Bring kids to the voting booth on Election Day. Let them wear your sticker to School!
- Destination TV: Watch and discuss the election coverage as a family.

Honeygrow in Hoboken, NJ - Healthy eating?
It has been a while since we wanted to try Honeygrow, a casual dining place that serves locally sourced high quality ingredients. So we made it and I admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. First, I like the minimalist decor, very naturalistic and zen, with the light colored wood and the black and white photos.
Fantastic Korean Food At Hanjan in NYC, New York
Few days after meeting Chef Hooni Kim in a cooking class at De Gustibus Cooking School in Macy's, Jodi, Cindy from Chubby Chinese Girl Eats and her husband Derrick, and I decided to go to Hanjan, one of the Chef's restaurant located few minutes from the Flatiron.
Recipe: miso ramen with braised pork belly or tofu
I love ramen and New York is a perfect city to try different ones, having so many places proposing that delicious Japanese dish. And my favorite moment to eat that soup is now, as I like it hot and was never really impressed by cold versions of it. This recipe requires a bit of work, but it is worth it!
Chaan Teng, New Chinese Eatery from Chef Pichet Ong - Closed
Hell's Kitchen is definitely not the area where I would expect to see such an elegant restaurant as Chaan Teng. This place opened very recently, replacing a New Orleans based restaurant we passed by so many times but never dared to go in. Well I am glad because Chaan Teng is unique in a way, serving Chinese dishes, but with the Chef's own spin. And, if you are familiar with the restaurant scene in New York, you might know this Chef: Pichet Ong, who has an impressive resume, working at the regretted Spice Market as well as 66, also closed, another Jean-Georges Vongerichten's eatery. Do not see a sign there, I am sure this place, with its vibrant and elegant decor, will be successful.
Surprising dessert at Sticky's Finger Joint in Hell's Kitchen!
So I was looking for a new fried chicken place to try and ended up at Sticky's Finger Joint, a restaurant in Hell's Kitchen, located close to The Port Authority Bus Terminal. I knew about this place since its inception as I saw them on the Food Network back in 2012, on a TV show with Bobby Flay, where the owners had three days to open and had to go through the hoops of opening a restaurant, a task not that simple. This is not they first location and I believe they settled on 9th Avenue a year or two ago. I like the decor that is very colorful, with the wall painted like street art.
Al Vicoletto near Union Square, NYC
Located few steps from Union Square, Al Vicoletto is an Italian eatery and gourmet market. I like the vibe of the place that has a certain energy and a European feel.
At the beginning of the meal, they gave us some bread, as well as a small sandwich bites made with focaccia bread, peck and cheese: a great way to start, although, so delicious that I stopped eating it as I was expecting to have a feast...
Event at Petrossian in NYC, New York
When it comes to elegance and gourmet food, Petrossian comes into my mind. The famous caviar purveyor has, for a long time, showcased some products that go beyond the treasured fish eggs. And this time, they invited me as well as other press / bloggers to discover some amazing products for the season coming. At the same time, I got the pleasure to see again Executive Chef Richard Farnabe that I met few months ago during an amazing tasting at the restaurant.
KitchenAid workshop with Ron Ben-Israel and Marcia Selden Catering
One evening last week, I was invited to a workshop by KitchenAid, with Pastry Chef Ron Ben-Israel and Robin and Jeffrey Selden from Marcia Selden Catering. I went there with my friend Malini, The Restaurant Fairy, so now you will know that I am not wearing any nail polish and that it is her hand that you will see on the photos, holding some of the delicious bites we got to sample.
Amazing food at Korali Estiatorio on the Upper East Side
Located at the corner of 93rd and 3rd on the Upper East Side, Korali Estiatorio went beyond my expectations. I love Greek food and was definitely not disappointed after going to a tasting I was invited to. This beautiful restaurant that gets its name from "Coral", to honor the seafood of the Mediterranean sea, is the jewel opened a year ago by Gregori Politis (formerly of Yefsi Estiatorio), a 20-year veteran in the hospitality industry who wanted to bring the authentic recipes from his childhood in Greece to NYC.
The Old Homestead Steakhouse in NYC, NY
The Old Homestead Steakhouse is not unknown to me, as I ate there few years ago, but skipped it since I started this blog, except for sliders as they offered a very good deal for lunch at the time. But it was way too long and we really wanted to go back to the oldest steakhouse in New York, serving carnivores since 1968! This place did not change and I was glad that they sat us on one of the corners, in a round table with a banquette, that had a good light. This latest detail was not only noticed because of the photos I was going to take, but also because, often, steakhouses are dim.
Cho-Ko Ramen in the Lower East Side, NYC
We were on the Lower East Side and were looking for a place to have lunch when we stumbled upon Cho-Ko, a small ramen joint. The weather was perfect for ramen, so I was looking forward to it. It is a small place and I was surprised it was empty, although we arrived five minutes after their opening time. But it remained empty until we left...
Bustan, Mediterranean cuisine on the Upper West Side
Last week, I was invited at Bustan, a restaurant located on the Upper West Side, that serves Mediterranean cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. I was not able to meet with Bustan's new partner and Executive Chef Raphael Hasid, but chatted a bit with his Chef de Cuisine, Christopher Burgess, who brings more than 30 years of experience in the industry, having worked even with Michael White or Anthony Bourdain. He explained to me that they are using a taboon to cook most of the food in their tiny kitchen, a taboon being a wood fire oven with a temperature of 800 degrees and a rotating center so the food cooks evenly.
Beija Flor, Brazilian restaurant in Long Island City
We were at the Flux Factory in Long Island City for the New York Academy of Art Alumni exhibit where Jodi participated with a beautiful painting (see her work at www.jodigerbi.com), and we decided to eat in that area after the show. I just needed Google Map to find Beija Flor (Hummingbird in portuguese), a Brazilian restaurant that serves some delicious food. At first, I was worried that there would be live music as I wanted to have a quiet dinner, being able to hear each other and thankfully, there was not and the noise level was pretty nice.
Buffalo Wild Wings in Times Square, NYC
Stage Door Deli in Hell's Kitchen
Sometimes, I should just stick to the original plan...It all started with wanting to eat ramen at Jun-Men in Chelsea. But the weather was pretty good for November and, as we walked passed Stage Door Deli, we changed our mind, reserving ramen for a colder day. I was excited for sure, thinking about the Reuben I would inhale in few minutes.
Cooking Class with Chef Hooni Kim at The De Gustibus Cooking School
Located on the 8th floor of Macy's, hidden like a priceless gem is the De Gustibus Cooking school. I mean, even some employees of the store did not know it was there and it took me a couple of inquiries to find my way to what would be a wonderful evening, where my friend Malini, The Restaurant Fairy, brought me along, generously sharing the experience with me and Cindy, from the food blog Chubby Chinese Girl.
Otto's Tacos in Hell's Kitchen
Jack Austin's in Weehawken, NJ
Bombay Grill House in Hell's Kitchen
We were walking on 9th Avenue when we stumbled upon Bombay Grill House and the photo of their thali, a plate containing various dishes making a full meal, from appetizer to dessert. I discover Thali many years ago in Mumbai and specifically remembered one that was vegetarian, that I loved, a weird thing to write considering my love for meat...Anyway, I kept Bombay Grill House in mind and few weeks later, we decided to try their cuisine. The place was not that full, although we could see traces of a large table that left probably before we arrived.

Sol Selectas final release of 2017 is a hypnotizing single from one of our favorites Be Svendsen out of Copenhagen. The 10 minute long journey called "Getula" twists and turns through beautiful instrumentation with cosmic arpeggios, soothing pads, tribal percussion, and gritty electric guitar. In the words of Be Svendsen the "Getula is the desert pirate, deceiving, tantalizing, venomous, and deadly. He retreats and awaits in silence before the hunt, a timeless play of both predator and prey". Sol Selectas family members KMLN add their signature psychedelic sound to their remix, and create a gorgeous voyage of minimal percussion, warm analog delays, and introspective moments of emotion. Helia Jamali's art is a mystical depiction of the Getula serpent, weaving its way around the lost desert, surrounding our minds and bodies with the musical energy.

Exclusive Content & Downloads from ASQ
Integrating the Internet Into Conflict Management Systems
Summary: E-mail and the Internet have increased organizational performance, but they have also added new sources of conflict that need to be integrated into an overall approach to conflict management. An integrated conflict management system that includes e-mail and the Internet must have structures to coordinate and nurture the system if it is to succeed. Strategies to consider include champions from senior management, a continuous oversight body, a central coordinating board, conflict coaching, training, evaluation, and reward systems. Legislation has been passed that will cause organizations to consider the implications of the Internet on their conflict management systems. The response should not be a defensive one driven by fear of litigation, but should aim to maximize all that the Internet and e-mail have to of as new access points and support structures.

Exploration expeditions often hire the services of a guide or scout to go ahead and clear the way. In movies, scouts are often colorful or eccentric characters responsible for leading the way and making sure the path ahead is clear, especially of potential enemies and dangerous beasts. Leaders, in a way, are like expedition scouts. Besides casting vision, leaders are responsible for making clear the path ahead for the rest of the team.
Leadership is Clarity
This whole reflection started when I read a post by my friend, David Spell. David is a missionary, writer, and blogger who states something we all know, but deserves deeper thinking:
Leaders provide clarity.
People are willing to follow someone who knows where they are going and have figured out the path to get there. Here are six ways in which biblical leaders – spiritual, servant, transformational leaders– act like scouts by providing clarity for followers in the pursuit of their God-given vision:
Clear Vision: Spiritual
Spiritual leaders give clarity by having a clear vision, which comes from:
1. Intimacy with God. A deep, personal relationship with God will allow leaders to discern God's calling and vision for their lives.
2. Attentive Ears. God is not silent. His voice points the way to clarity, but it is the leader's responsibility to listen. We must have spiritual ears tuned and attentive to hear when God speaks through prayer, the Word, wise counsel, and circumstances.
Clear Focus: Service
Servant Leaders provide clarity through maintaining clear focus by:
3. Having a Christlike Attitude. God is our model. True, selfless, and servant leadership is only possible if we have the same attitude as Christ (Phil. 2:5-10).
4. Understanding the "Who and How." We are called to serve others, but the most effective leaders give specific emphasis to serving those in their God-given vision. Focused servant leaders clearly identify the specific people their team is called to serve and how to best serve them.
Clear Purpose: Transformation
Transformational leaders are agents of meaningful change and need clarity in two areas:
5. Perspective. Transformational leaders understand their environment and the current situation.
6. Decision. Transformation is not merely change for change's sake. Biblical transformational leaders discern what changes are meaningful and worth fighting for.
Action Question
God has given you vision. That part is clear. Now, in what ways are you making the vision and the way clear for others?
by Norival Trindade

This past August the Buffalo Religious Art Center acquired a new statue. It's the statue of St. Stanislaus Kostka (also spelled Koskkawhich). For many years, he had resided in the basement of Assumption Church on Amherst Street.
St Stanislaus died at the very early age of 19, just after becoming a novice. For this reason he isdepicted as a young man wearing a vestment (a long headdress worn by bishops and senior abbots as a symbol of office). It was also said, that he was loved by children. So, also many times, he is shown holding a child.

Baby Mobile Hanger - Assembly Instructions
Cherylyn Ng
Step 1
Take Part A (with pre-drilled hole at one end) and screw one of the ends of Part B into the ball end of Part A.
· The pre-drilled hole at one of the ends of Part A is the point where you hang your baby mobile. You can thread a cord or attach a screw eye (not included) to hang your mobile.
· To use it with The Felting Dorcas' felt ball mobile, you may wind the top string around this end after pushing down the cluster of balls at the top of the mobile to the intersection of the 2 arches.
Step 2
Screw the other end of Part B into the ball end of Part C to form an "L" shape.
Step 3
Take Part D and screw it all the way into the internal thread of Part C until the end.
Step 4
Screw Part E over the threads of Part D until it stops at the side of Part C.
Step 5
Place Part E against your cot slat and screw Part F on the other side of the slat over the threads of Part D, ensuring Parts E and F press firmly against both sides of the cot slat.
Step 6
Place Part G next to Part F followed by screwing Part H over the threads of Part D to close. This has only a decorative purpose, you may use only Part H or Parts G and H together, or not at all, depending on the look you like for the stand.
For the safety of babies and young children:
· Please ensure all parts are firmly screwed and installed into place and perform regular checks on the attachment of the stand to the cot.
· Please ensure both the stand and the baby mobile attached to it are always kept out of the reach of the baby or young children.
· Do not attach the stand and the baby mobile within the baby's reach or in a place where it could be moved out of place by baby or children.
· Discontinue the use of the stand and the baby mobile or hang the baby mobile from the ceiling at a height out of reach once the baby is capable of sitting or standing by herself/himself in the bed, or is capable of reaching and grabbing the stand or the baby mobile.

Australian steel giant BlueScope Steel has launched legal action to try and retrieve "highly sensitive" information from a Singapore- based former manager, Ms Chinnari Sridevi Somanchi, who has been accused of corporate spying.
A suit filed in Australia's Federal Court alleges that Ms Somanchi downloaded company secrets before she was laid off. She is accused of downloading 40 gigabytes of sensitive documents described in court as being "of very substantial commercial value".
BlueScope is reportedly also pursuing legal action through the Singapore High Court.
Ms Somanchi, a software development manager, had worked for BlueScope for about 12 years before she was axed. She was later employed in Singapore for a joint venture between Japanese steel giant Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation and BlueScope.
She is accused of using the downloaded information while working in her new position.
Ms Somanchi, who is said to be 45 years old, has not publicly commented on the allegations.
The Federal Court last week ordered her to disclose to an independent lawyer the whereabouts of a series of items, including documents and computer codes.
She was ordered to hand over storage devices which hold the files, along with e-mails and passwords, and was barred from copying, transmitting or transferring them.
BlueScope, a major supplier of steel products which employs about 16,000 people, told the court it was concerned about "the possibility of Ms Somanchi destroying or concealing evidence".
The court said it was satisfied that the confidential information was "of very substantial commercial value to BlueScope, which has enabled BlueScope to achieve significant efficiencies".
"I am satisfied, on the evidence currently before me, that there is a strongly arguable case that… when Ms Somanchi left BlueScope's employment she took with her some of (the firm's intellectual property)," said Justice Mordecai Bromberg.
"I am also satisfied that if the BlueScope IP came into the hands of BlueScope's competitors, BlueScope may face a real risk of significant loss or damage."
Ms Somanchi is accused of downloading "highly sensitive and commercially valuable" information, especially relating to BlueScope's products involving sheds.
The downloads were said to have been made during a four-year period before she was made redundant last June. She reportedly delayed her redundancy meeting for two hours, downloading a set of confidential codes in that time.
Ms Somanchi has been employed in Singapore as an innovation manager by NS BlueScope, the joint venture, since about November.
According to Fairfax Media, NS BlueScope planned to sack her this week and give her a one-way ticket back to Australia.
Her lawyer in Singapore, Mr Ng Lip Chih, told Fairfax Media last Saturday: "In view of the fact that the legal proceedings are ongoing, we are not in the position to provide any comments on the matter."
BlueScope has accused Ms Somanchi of using the information to secure her job in Singapore. It reportedly believes she has already transferred 148 BlueScope files to her computers in Singapore.
In an affidavit seen by Fairfax Media, BlueScope sales manager Scott Perks said: "I can think of no legitimate reason why Ms Somanchi would have the... BlueScope files... other than to leverage off BlueScope intellectual property and confidential information for her own professional advantage."

The Pines blog…March 24,2018 By Mr.
Dear Diary,
I went out to the Pines on the 4:05 triangle. The season continues to inch closer. I was the only passenger on the Colonial van from Sayville. It was a cold lonely late March home owner prep trip, but as the sun pried its way out it gave a feeling of summer ahead. The 4th Nor'easter of the season happened during the week, but quickly began melting.
Work continues on several houses. 397 Nautilus (also known as the former Arched house: history here) walk has been moved back towards ocean walk. I can see that the Pines will have a new oceanfront look as houses are moved back, raised, and in some cases eliminated. Our beach will be rebuilt in a straight line , but for now the beach is erratic and eroded.
Season 2018 is waiting on the horizon…

Is PB2 for You?/
If you haven't heard of PB2, it's a powdered peanut butter that's made by pressing the peanuts to remove most of the oil, while maintaining the protein and fiber content. The process turns the peanuts into a kind of peanut powder that when mixed with liquid resembles peanut butter, minus the fat.
My clients have been asking,"Is this good for me? Should I be eating this instead of peanut butter?" My answer: it depends. Not a very straight-forward answer, I know, but it depends on whether you're trying to lose weight or keep your calories down --even if you're not trying to lose weight -- or whether you can use the extra healthy fat and calories.
For those of you unfamiliar with PB2, it is frequently used in smoothies, oatmeal, as a peanut butter spread on toast and in sauces and other entrees. It provides a boost of fiber and protein with a fraction of the calories. Here's how the two compare:
So I've been experimenting with variations of PB2 and peanut butter lovers beware, it just isn't the same. I combined 1 Tbsp. PB2 + 2 teaspoons water
and spread it on my toast....
I know some people rave about it, but for me, I'd rather use less peanut butter and have the real thing. Strike One for me.
I then tried PB2 in my oatmeal…Hmmph peanut butter in oatmeal doesn't work for me. I love the crunch of almonds in my oatmeal, but not the flavor of peanut butter. Strike 2 for me. Lots of people on the internet say they like to boost the protein in their oatmeal with PB2, so please do try it and see if it works for you!
Ok, how about PB2 in oatmeal cookies or banana muffins? Yep, found those recipes too-- that's gotta be good, right? Terrible. I tried an internet recipe for each of these. Both got the thumbs down at my house. The texture was funky -- not enough fat, I suspect. Strike 3 for me. Again, lots of people rave about them on the internet….
Next I tried smoothies -- A PB2 & Banana Smoothie and a High Protein-PB2 Smoothie. These worked pretty well. My son wouldn't drink the High Protein version -- he prefers fruit smoothies, and I'm not a big smoothie person, but definitely worth a try if you like smoothies. The High Protein recipe, is quite high in protein, which makes it a popular choice for many. You can get both recipes here.
My final attempt: PB2 Sauce for Chicken Lettuce Wraps. This recipe worked better than any of the above experiments and is much, much lower in calories than traditional peanut sauces. It seemed slightly chalky when I taste-tested just the sauce, but mixed with the chicken, broccoli slaw and shredded carrots, wrapped in lettuce or a tortilla, was good. I'll make this again for a high protein lunch option, and I used leftovers in a kale salad, which I liked even better!
What's the Bottom Line?
PB2 can be a great choice for people who are 1. trying to lose weight, 2. controlling calories, 3. want to give smoothies and other foods a protein boost or 4. just plain like the stuff. But it's not a magic bullet. I'm sticking with the real thing.
I'd love to hear from you…have you tried PB2? Do you like it?
And if you have tasty recipes, please send them to me! The recipes I found are duds.

For more information phone 01792 635600.
Please check the list of all the sites on these pages for a comprehensive list of materials accepted at them.
If a builder does the work he should either include the cost of a skip in the quote or take away the waste with him when he's finished. Please make sure he is a reputable builder and has the necessary licence to carry and dispose of this type of waste. If he is reputable, he won't mind showing you.
Don't forget Tip Treasures - reuse shop accepts items that would normally be headed for landfill. It's a great place to pick up a bargain too.

Home & Garden
His purr-fect plant became Catwoman tribute
It's a small begonia world after all.
Sacramento plant collector and hybridizer Paul Tsamtsis discovered that when he came up with a fuzzy plant covered with fine hairs.
"See how they stand up on the edge of the leaves?" he said, stroking the foliage. "It reminded me of the hairs on a kitten's ear. So, of course, that reminded me of Catwoman."
As in Batman and DC Comics. In particular, Tsamtsis had one Catwoman in mind – actress Julie Newmar, who made famous her feline alter-ego opposite Adam West's Batman in the 1960s TV show.
Tsamtsis, who hybridized this begonia with kitten fur foliage, named the plant "Julie Newmar." But first, he wanted to formally get her permission.
That took several months, he said, but finally Newmar called. Yes, she'd love a begonia with leaves covered in kitten fur. It would be "purr-fect."
Newmar, who lives in Los Angeles, also is a devoted gardener and begonia lover. Coincidentally, she knew some of the same begonia specialists as Tsamtsis. "We hit it right off," he said. "She's just a real charmer."
Eventually, Tsamtsis delivered two "Julie Newmar" begonias to Newmar in person.
"She picked one up and rubbed her nose against a leaf, just like a cat," he recalled. "She'll always be Catwoman."
Tsamtsis has many more begonia stories, almost one for every plant. He grows close to 400 different varieties in his shady garden in Sacramento's Del Paso neighborhood. Many of his plants will be on display during the 69th annual Sacramento Begonia Show and Sale, set for Sept. 9 and 10 at Shepard Garden and Arts Center in McKinley Park.
His collection includes two begonias named for him – "Paul Tsamtsis" and "Lt. Tsamtsis," noting his time in the Navy. Both plants were hybridized and named by renowned plant breeder, Brad Thompson. But the tributes show Tsamtsis' long standing in the begonia community.
Besides begonias, Tsamtsis also grows a wide assortment of other shade-loving plants from bromeliads and camellias to impatiens and streptocarpus. But the begonias are undoubtedly his favorites.
His garden is full of old friends and family, or rather plants bearing their names. Another beloved begonia is "Morris Mueller," his tribute to a longtime Sacramento educator and research specialist. The spiraled lime-green leaves feature finely ruffled chocolate brown edges.
Tsamtsis currently is working with a major wholesale nursery to introduce both varieties to the public, a process that can take a few years.
" 'Morris' and 'Julie' both came out of the same seedpod," Tsamtsis noted proudly. "When you breed begonias, you never know what you're going to get."
That's part of this plant family's appeal. Its genus contains more than 1,800 species of begonias.
"And just about all of them cross with one another (when hybridized)," Tsamtsis said. "You can get some completely freaky leaf shapes. The possibilities are endless."
For almost 35 years, Tsamtsis has been passionate about begonias. He grows all sorts from familiar angel wings ("like Grandma used to grow") to exotic boliviensis. They range from tiny plants, barely 4 inches tall, to large shrubs reaching 15 feet or more.
"You can get every flower color except blue," he said. "And the foliage is beautiful, too. It's a really varied plant; that's why I like them. Hybridizing them is easy. It's my art form, creating new plants."
And those plants create connections, too, Tsamtsis added, including one to the famous Catwoman.

Dog-loving brides no longer have to leave their dog behind when heading away on their hen weekend – leading hen party expert GoHen.com has created pre-wedding weekends for people and pooches!
The weekend is designed to give both two-legged and four-legged guests a little bit of pre-wedding pampering. The weekends consist of:
• Dog-friendly glamping
• Cocktail-making – and the dogs get Pawsecco
• Dogs' dinners – designer dog food can be delivered for the weekend
• Pampering – a mobile massage team will arrive to treat the 'hens' while the pooches have a massage, too
• Country walks
GoHen's head of events Poppy Ratcliffe said: "Some people might think we're barking mad but many dog lovers find leaving their furry friend behind upsetting. Kennels and dog sitting can also be very expensive. With a dog-friendly hen weekend, not only will the nearly-wed and her guests be able to take their dogs, they'll save on pet care and create amazing pre-wedding memories."
Weird and Wonderful
Now dogs can join the hen party

By Lori Newman, Brooke Army Medical Center Public AffairsMay 16, 2018
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Brooke Army Medical Center held a simultaneous change of command and change of responsibility ceremony May 11 on the hospital's ground helipad.
Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Johnson relinquished command to Brig. Gen. George "Ned" Appenzeller and Command Sgt. Maj. Diamond Hough relinquished responsibility to Command Sgt. Maj. Thomas Oates during the ceremony hosted by Maj. Gen. Thomas Tempel, Regional Health Command-Central commanding general.
"I can't say enough about the team here who makes this institution the pinnacle of military health care," Tempel said. "The 8,800 military members, civilians and contractors are the heart and soul of Brooke Army Medical Center."
Tempel highlighted the integrated team of Army, Navy and Air Force health care professionals who work at BAMC and the partnerships within Joint Base San Antonio and the San Antonio community. He also spoke about the accomplishments of Johnson and Hough.
"I can proudly tell you that the expertise gained through wartime trauma care is being applied to the healing of all those who arrive for care," Tempel said. "Brooke Army Medical Center's partnership with this great community and the can-do attitude of the providers and staff at this facility are a direct result of the outstanding leadership this command team brings to Army Medicine."
Tempel also praised their spouses. "It's the love and support of Paula and Marie that has really made a difference in this organization also," he said, thanking them for their contributions.
Johnson thanked his wife, Paula, and Hough for their support, and reminisced about the patients, staff and city leaders he met during this time at BAMC. He also thanked the BAMC, 959th Medical Group and Institute of Surgical Research staff for their support.
"Today is a bittersweet day for me," Johnson said. "It's hard to describe my feelings about leaving Brooke Army Medical Center after the past two years. Being the commander of the busiest military treatment facility within the Department of Defense has been a tremendous honor and privilege."
"Thank you all for your loyalty, your dedication to duty and country, and your tireless efforts to care for our patients and for one another," Johnson said. "You truly are a team or teams, I'm honored to have been a small part of your journey and I look forward to the continued efforts."
Johnson will take command of RHC-C later this month.
Hough said the day for him was "simply about thanking."
"The sense of pride and accomplishment, how humble I felt to serve here at BAMC; no speech I write can express it," he said, as he thanked those who helped and mentored him during his time here.
Hough addressed BAMC's senior officers and noncommissioned officers. "I would like to thank you because I have challenged you and you have all risen to the challenge," Hough said. "Like the true warriors you are, you excelled. You have exceeded my expectations.
"People, people, people; if you don't remember anything else, remember to be thankful for each other," Hough said. "That's what matters."
Hough's next assignment will be command sergeant major of RHC-Atlantic.
Tempel then turned to Appenzeller and Oates, welcoming them and their families to BAMC.
"Ned you are absolutely the right leader at the right time for BAMC, for this region and for military medicine," he said. "In addition to your clinical knowledge and skills, you possess all the leadership skills that are necessary to ensure BAMC continues to excel as an organization.
"Your battle buddy, Command Sgt. Maj. Oates, is going to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience about our central region." Tempel added. "His dedication and his focus on taking care of Soldiers is legendary and he's partnered perfectly with your experience.
"I have the greatest confidence in this command team and I am grateful that they have their families to support them as they assume command," Tempel said.
Appenzeller began by thanking his family for their support. Then he turned his attention to the Soldiers and support personnel who participated in the ceremony, thanking them for their efforts.
He described how BAMC and Fort Sam Houston has changed since he was here for his residency in 1996.
"The one thing that has not changed is that this is still the friendly, caring, compassionate and wonderful community that it has always been," the new commander said. "My family and I are beyond excited to be here and we feel privileged that we are allowed to serve and be with BAMC and this Joint Base San Antonio community."
Oates spoke about his priorities, "God, family and Business."
"God is first, so I thank Him for giving me this opportunity," Oates said.
He joked about how his family grew from four to over 8,500 in a matter of the passing of the colors and highlighted the general's number one priority -- readiness.
"My boss is ready, I am ready, you are ready, we are ready," Oates said. "Together our families are ready to fight our nation's wars -- any conflict, any time and if the need be tonight -- I'm ready."

The Beginning of... Rodent Life?
A few days ago, Reuters summarized two papers published in the current issue of Nature on using mouse and rat embryonic stem cells in lieu of those from humans, which "should speed up research into regenerative medicine and help in the hunt for cures to a range of diseases." That the two papers -- one from a team at Oxford, the other from a Cambridge group -- were developed concurrently and independently "is a sign of momentum picking up in stem cell research," says the Reuters piece:
Laboratory mice have long been a favourite model for human disease but researchers have been frustrated by the fact that human and mouse stem cells behave very differently.Here on this blog we tend to focus (rightly or wrongly) on the stem-cell debate as a case of common sense at odds with deep-seated religious moral and/or religious beliefs. But it's interesting to think about how the use of non-human embryonic sources both (a) seems to sidestep the debate altogether, and (b) doesn't really sidestep anything after all -- just shoves the real issue out of sight, by removing it from the scrutiny of partisans (on both sides) otherwise focused on the word "human." The issue, not to put too fine a point on it, is that human life is a subset, a special case, of animal life. Hence the question: If we can comfortably come to a consensus about the use of non-human embryonic stem cells for the betterment of human life, can't we come to a consensus about the use of human embryonic stem cells for that purpose? Particularly when the cells in question are earmarked for no other purpose other than disposal?
Note that I'm not arguing here for what the consensus should be. (It would hardly be a consensus if I just told everybody what to believe, hmm?) Given a Sophie's Choice-type dilemma requiring that I save the life of a human or the life of a mouse, but not both, I'd choose the human just as I suppose most of you would. It would be fair to say that I hold human life to be sacred, just as most of you do.
That very notion of the sacredness of human life, perhaps, is where the potential for consensus is greatest. If a human embryonic stem cell is destined for the waste can anyway, why not use it instead to affirm the sacredness of human life as it is or will be lived by actual living, breathing erstwhile embryos who at some time come to term?

We are constantly asked for restaurant recommendations for occasions such as a date night, birthday, family in town, and just about any other reason to celebrate with food.
Giving suggestions for the perfect restaurant to fit a particular circumstance is always fun, but you don't always need a special reason to seek out unique experiences and enjoy all that Huntsville has to offer.
That's why we're giving you our plan for how to spend a day enjoying some great Huntsville spots.
We made a point to choose food and drink stops in areas that will provide additional opportunities for fun whether you like walking, biking, or shopping in the surrounding area.
Whether you're a local looking for a staycation or a tourist, you can have quite the adventure in Huntsville by checking out these local places.
24 Hours to Eat and Explore Huntsville
Start the day at Honest Coffee Roasters downtown for a coffee paired with acai bowl, oatmeal, or biscuit.
In addition to serving up delicious specialty coffee, Honest is a great hangout spot for relaxing and planning the rest of your day.
With the proximity to many local shops (such as the ones along Clinton Avenue), the historic districts (Twickenham, Old Town, and Five Points), and Big Spring Park, we suggest spending some more time exploring downtown after breakfast.
Lowe Mill is the second destination on the list and one stop shop for a diverse selection of food, art, and retail.
Choose from Happy Tummy sandwiches, Pofta Buna crepes, Mountain Valley pizza, and Chef Will vegan/vegetarian food. Pair a Piper & Leaf tea with your meal for an extra treat.
Check out Pizzelle's Confections and Suzy's Pops for desserts, and coffee enthusiasts will be thrilled to experience Alchemy Lounge.
Enjoy some time in the afternoon exploring the three floors of art galleries and shops.
It wouldn't be a well balanced foodie tour if we didn't recommend a stop at one of the many craft breweries within close proximity to Lowe Mill.
Whether you decide on Straight to Ale, Yellowhammer, Salty Nut, Innerspace, Green Bus, Below the Radar, Mad Malts, or one of the many taprooms nearby you are sure to be impressed by the selection of local craft brews.
Sticking with the local and community-minded theme, visiting 1892 East in historic Five Points for dinner is strongly encouraged.
There is a cozy neighborhood feel to the restaurant, and their fresh local menu is ideal for meat lovers and vegetarians alike.
End your night with a post dinner stroll down streets like Randolph, Clinton, Pratt, Wells, and Ward to enjoy the charm of the area.
We love our local restaurants, shops, and community. We hope you enjoy experiencing them as much as we do!

A teaching union-backed campaign has been reprimanded by the statistics watchdog for its claim that 91 per cent of schools face funding cuts.
The School Cuts Coalition, which is endorsed by all the major teaching unions, was criticised by the UK Statistics Authority for publishing "misleading" figures on its website.
The watchdog examined the campaign's figures after James Cleverly MP, the Deputy Chair of the Conservative Party, wrote a letter of complaint.
The watchdog's chair Sir David Norgrove yesterday (Thursday 17 January) revealed that he had contacted the website's analyst to share his own concerns.
In response to Mr Cleverly's letter, Mr Norgrove wrote: "We believe the headline statement that '91% of schools face funding cuts' risks giving a misleading impression of future changes in school budgets.
"The method of calculation may also give a misleading impression of the scale of change for some particular schools."
He continued: "We were able to replicate the high-level figures given by the School Cuts website. It was not however possible to reproduce the exact figures published on the website, as the underlying data are not publicly available and the methodology is not wholly clear."
Mr Norgrove said the most significant issue was that the figures on the website were a combination of school budget reductions which have already been made and those expected to take place in the future, and that the 91 per cent figure only covers England but the website suggested it covered Wales too.
He also pointed out that the underlying calculations inflate the 2015/16 baseline funding to what it would have been with each school's 2015/16 per pupil funding, but using 2017/18 pupil numbers – portraying a worse picture for schools where pupil numbers are increasing.
School Cuts said it stood by its figures, writing in a statement: "The UK Statistics Authority is concerned that some readers might believe that all of these cuts are yet to happen. We are happy to clarify: the clear facts are that 91% of schools will experience real-terms cuts between 2015 and 2020. Some of those cuts have already happened, some are yet to come. All of them are damaging to children's education.
"The UK Statistics Authority is also concerned that users of the website might not understand that some schools with rising pupil numbers will receive more cash. Again, we acknowledge the simple truth that schools with more children require more funding to provide the same level of education.
"Our website makes clear that per-pupil funding has been cut, and that in 91% of schools per-pupil funding will be lower in 2020 than in 2015. Even those schools with rising pupil numbers will be required to do more with less.
"We will be updating School Cuts shortly with the latest figures from Government. The release will look at the period 2015/16 to 2018/19 to show the scale of the cuts that have taken place since the Government made the manifesto commitment to 'protect school funding' in 2015."
The Department for Education has itself faced a backlash for allegedly using misleading statistics.
An investigation was launched by the UK Statistics Authority in October last year after education ministers defended their record on state school spending by quoting figures which also included money spent by university students on tuition fees and parents on private school fees.
School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said: "We all have a duty to make sure the statistics we use in public debate are both factually accurate and used in the right context. This is especially important when talking about school funding so teachers and parents are presented with the facts and are not at risk of being misled.
"We have previously pointed out significant flaws in how the School Cuts campaign calculates and presents its statistics. We therefore welcome today's letter from the UK Statistics Authority which confirms their approach risks giving a misleading impression of future changes in school budgets and that the method of calculation may also give a misleading impression of the scale of change for some particular schools."

What is Mentor Collective?
Mentor Collective (warmly known as MC) is an international mentoring community. We partner with over 50 high schools and universities across the United States and Canada!
What are the expectations of the program?
You will meet with your mentor via videochat, text, email, phone, or any other method. You will meet at least once a month. You will report each time you communicate with your mentor on mentorcollective.org. The report is a quick survey where you can notify us that you've been in touch with your mentor, and give feedback.
Who is the Mentor Collective team?
The Mentor Collective team consists of Sonia, Jess, and Gaby. We will be in contact with you and your mentor to make sure things are going well in your relationship, as well as to provide guidance and suggestions.
I don't want to be in this program anymore
Email us (email@example.com) letting us know and we will give you the next steps.
I need to change my email
Log into mentorcollective.org using the email you signed up with. Click your name on the upper-right. Click "Profile & Account" Scroll down until you see "Your email addresses" Enter your new email
I'm not getting the email confirmation/reset password email
Check your spam box. If it is not in there, Check to see if the email you signed up with is correct. If it is correct and you still don't get the email, Tell the MC team (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Do we have to use Skype to videochat?
MC Tip: It's important to connect with your mentor at least once per month. You can text, have a phone call, video chat, or meet in person - you can't beat a face-to-face connection! Feel free to use whatever means you and your mentor are comfortable with (Google Hangouts, WeChat video, Facetime, Facebook video, etc.).
What if we want to meet in person?
MC Tip: The program is designed to be videochat-based, so meeting in person is not a requirement. But if you get approval, it can be a great way to build your connection even more. If you are under 18, it's essential that you check in with the Mentor Collective team before setting up an in-person meetup.
MC Tip: If you and your mentor aren't able to meet in person, consider using videochat to show each other your current surroundings, like your college campus or classroom.
What if my mentor or I don't want to use the conversation guides, because we'd rather just have a conversation?
MC Tip: You definitely don't need to use every part of the conversation module, but it's important to use them as a guide, since the school picked the module topics based on what's most important to help you succeed. Consider telling your mentor what you'd like to talk about before each session so they can select the module that is most interesting to you or they can prepare something special in advance with the "Choose your Own" module!
What if there's a time of year that I won't be available to talk with my mentor, or when I'll be super busy? What should I do?
MC Tip: Communication is key! As soon as you know you'll be taking a major trip or focusing on a major project, let your mentor know, and plan around it. Arrange meetings before and after, and consider ways to stay in touch, even if they aren't on videochat!
What counts as a "conversation?"
Throughout your mentorship, we ask you and your mentor to log your conversations on our website or through our automated texts. But what counts as a conversation? It can be:
- 1 phone call
- 1 videochat session
- 1 email exchange
- 1 in-person "interaction" (grabbing coffee, spending 10 minutes talking before class, etc.)
- 2+ text messages exchanged within 1 day
If in doubt, please don't hesitate to ask us at email@example.com. Logging conversations helps your school gauge whether the program is helping students, and how to help them better!
What if my mentor seems busy, or is slow to respond to me?
MC Tip: Don't take things personally, emails sometimes get missed! Try sending a follow-up email or try the next tip.
NOTE: Don't forget to check out their profile for alternative ways to contact your mentor (like their phone number). If more than two weeks pass with no response from your them, feel free to contact us (email@example.com) for help in getting in contact with your mentor.
Can I talk to my mentor about serious/sensitive subjects?
As long as you and your mentor are comfortable with that, of course. Your mentor is there to serve as a guide and support system.
However, your mentor is not a therapist or doctor. Should anything harmful, dangerous, or concerning come up, know that your mentor may report that to us so we can loop in appropriate additional resources/support from the school. If you are in immediate danger or feel unsafe, please call emergency services.
Your mentor, Mentor Collective, and your school want to ensure you are safe, supported, and have all the resources you need.
How do I know if an issue is "serious/sensitive"?
Ultimately, your judgement is the best call here. However, there are certain things that are easier to identify as serious or sensitive, including, but not limited to...
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Feeling unsafe
- Assault
My mentor is different from what I expected — why were we matched?
MC Tip: Matches are made based on the responses that both you and your mentor gave on the matching survey. Some of these, like hobbies, academic interests and type of student, may be clear similarities right away, while others, like personal challenges, may take a while to come out. Be patient, and keep an open mind.
MC Tip: Don't ignore your mentor's emails and messages. If you are busy, let them know when would be a better time to connect, they'll understand!
MC Tip: Let your mentor know what you hope to gain from the mentorship. Do you want to learn about college options or plan your career? Maybe you want to learn to make new friends or to live far away from home in a new place—your mentor has a lot of knowledge to share!
MC Tip: Having difficulty with something at school? Let your mentor know! They will be able to direct you to resources to help out like a writing center, a great counselor or a really supportive teacher who helped them.

We were going to shoot part of a new video, but couldn't as I hadn't charged the camera's batteries. Also, I was in a foul mood so it's probably just as well.
Consequently, and after having a jam (okay) and driving Mick home (sigh), I got in and eventually decided to look for the battery charger. Finally – lots of rooting in old boxes, etc – I found it. Then, when I went to get the batteries to charge, I came across Plumpy (Perseus) sitting in the bag that has the batteries in it. He's still there, though now asleep.
I'll have to charge the batteries later.

Chapter 9: Prepare Images for Output
Preparing your images for output is an important part of creating a professional impression. You can use Photoshop to prepare your photos for output to an inkjet printer as a straight print, and Photoshop includes the controls you need to print it with the best possible quality. You can also add a simple border and a mat surrounding the photo, or a sloppy border. Or you can make a gallery print. Gallery prints, rather than being centered on the paper, are printed off-center with a wider border at the bottom than at the top. You can add your signature to your art prints or add a watermark to a proof image.
There are many other output options for your images available in Photoshop. You can add type to your ...

I am the George Costanza at sewing, even though I have taken two sewing courses. This is no reflection on my teacher, who is a fantastic costume designer with a mouth like a delightful sailor. I can keep up with the swearing, but my instincts are off when it comes to romancing Heather, my sewing machine. If I do the exact opposite of what my sewing instincts tell me, I might become the Fonzi of sewing (not unlike Costanza in that episode where he becomes super awesome doing the opposite of what he would normally do). Ok, maybe not Fonzi � maybe Henry Winkler in �Arrested Development.�
The unrealistic pop culture lover in me has �Project Runway� fantasies and is making sequined gowns, about which Tim Gunn asks, frowning, �Are they maybe TOO exuberant?� I can actually make a garment using an existing garment as a pattern (without taking it apart, even) and will finish this caftan and have my Mrs. Helen Roper moment. But I�m realizing it�s not the clothes that are going to be the big perk from learning how to sew: it�s the being Ok with not being very good at something and still finding value in continuing to do it because it�s oddly enjoyable despite my lack of skill or natural talent. Boring life lessons!
This is how cooking became something I really enjoy. I no longer need to look at recipes when I make soups, which is a slam-dunk for me. I never showed any promise at cooking (or any domestic things, really, except for decorating) so no pressure was ever put on my cooking to become a means to make a living or make me famous so that my parents could say I was a famous something. Therefore cooking, like sewing, remained unscathed, pure, and I have gotten pretty good at some aspects of it, despite the fact that my husband is a real life cook who gets paid to cook for people.
While people would probably not pay me to cook for them, they might pay me not to sew for them. Just ask Aimee Shugal, who played Annie at the Surflight Theatre in Beach Haven, New Jersey, in 1989. As a junior theater apprentice I was tasked with tacking her peach cocktail dress into having a reasonable hem. I did just that � three tacks, so that the rest of the hem hung down like Jon Hamm�s junk (apparently). I did not, however, and I state for the record, spray paint her wig brown (but was the tiniest bit glad that someone had).
Anyway, I may not have finished the caftan, but I will try. Let me just go make some soup first.
While things worth doing are worth doing well, sometimes some things are worth doing poorly at first so that they can later turn into things worth doing well because they are just worth doing well. If you made it through that sentence, here is a delicious bowl of white bean, crawfish and bacon stew.
Jenn Sutkowski thinks feeling Ok about being regular at things is something to strive for, counterintuitive as that may sound. Hey, some people would kill to be regular � there are entire product lines devoted to just that. This message brought to you by Metamucil.

Certain medicaments are used to prevent ear infections in men with weak immune systems caused by bone marrow transplant. Certainly it isn't all. Very likely every adult has heard about otc viagra. Usually humanity who take street drugs like cocaine find it difficult to get an erection and turn to erectile dysfunction remedies. So it's substantial to learn about it. At present twelve percent of men aged 40 to 70 were have trouble getting an hard-on during sex. It becomes more common as you men older. Because some of sexual problems are medical emergencies, it's great to know what to do if they happen.

Watching the Long Tail
by Tom Hespos on Feb 28, 1:00 PM
As a fledgling media planner in the mid-1990s, one of the business concepts I had the toughest time understanding was how to determine the appropriate number of media vehicles to use for a given media plan. I never understood why many of my colleagues thought it more efficient to use, say, one or two large magazines in place of 10-12 more niche-oriented ones.

Cybersquatters Wanted, Dead Or Alive
by Seana Mulcahy on Feb 27, 1:45 PM
Last week I wrote about the lack of tier-1 domain names. Several readers gave their advice and input. Many readers had some questions and sought advice, so I thought we should discuss the topic more.

It's Not Considered Spin When You Are Forthright
by Mark Naples on Feb 24, 2:30 PM
It's been a while since I've written about the communications, branding, and PR practices of the Bush Administration. In fact, I doubt I've touched on anything they've been doing in this second term.

Core Respect--An Olympic Tale
by adam , Shelly Palmer on Feb 23, 1:15 PM
Much has been written the last two weeks about why television ratings for NBC's Winter Olympic coverage have been so awful. One of the most obvious answers, if not the most obvious, is lack of honesty in NBC's coverage. For a true freestyle skiing fan, NBC's video was all but unwatchable.

Is Anyone's Media Consumption 'Typical' Anymore?
by Tom Hespos on Feb 21, 1:15 PM
Many ad agency training programs teach their fledgling media planners to engage in a particular exercise known as "A Day in the Life," which is designed to immerse the planner in a typical day in the typical life of a typical member of the media plan's target audience. But in an era of hyperpersonalization, how relevant is A Day in the Life?

How a Book Can Drive A New-Media Asset
by Mark Naples on Feb 17, 12:45 PM
Have you ever wondered how demographic- or behavioral-specific sites grow into the behemoths some have become? That was the first thing I thought of this week upon reading the reports of Bob Pittman selling his stake in Daily Candy--a stake said to be worth as much as $100 million.

When HD Is Not HD And Consumer Hype Hurts

Just before the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Turin, Brian Williams spent a moment touting a remarkable technological achievement: NBC would broadcast its coverage of the games in HDTV. I was very excited.
