Learn about a host of diabetes-related topics such as how many Americans suffer from this disease to how to easily adjust to a new diet after diagnoses. This section will provide you with the information you need to make informed dietary decisions regarding diabetes.
Diabetes is a condition that affects millions of people. In and of itself, it is not fatal, but it can cause a host of problems, including circulatory system issues, blindness, and nervous system damage. One of the most complicated facets of this condition is that people with diabetes have to change the way they eat. As a result, those who learn that they have diabetes often feel despair and hopelessness because they are forced to eat an entirely different way than they have ever eaten before.
What they often do not realize at first is that a diabetes meal does not have to be bland and repetitive. A diabetes meal plan is meant to fit into your schedule and eating habits in order to help you keep your blood sugar levels on an even keel during the day. There are a lot of different options and diabetes meal plans out there to help a diabetic learn how to keep their sugar levels even during the day, but what it comes down to is making sure that you are happy with the foods that you are eating.
A diabetes meal is not what you may think it is. Some people believe that the meal consists of dry food and absolutely no carbohydrates. The truth, though, is that a diabetes meal can be as exciting as any other meal. It can have carbohydrates in it, as long as they are moderated and is kept on an even level as the rest of the food on the plate. Food that is high in protein and low in fat is good for a diabetic to eat, and there are tons of different side dishes and vegetables that can be included in a healthy meal.
In fact, it does not have to be considered that at all! If you have diabetes and you have a family, you do not have to cook yourself an entirely separate meal. All a true diabetes meal plan consists of is having healthy food that is portioned correctly. Unfortunately, we have come to believe that larger portions are truly the normal size, due to restaurants that are competing against each other. In all actuality, your family will probably become even healthier if they follow a plan!
Getting an entire family on a meal plan that suits a diabetic is a great idea because it means that everyone will be eating healthy. BistroMD believes that good food should not take forever, and so we create meals that are quick and easy to reheat. Simply pop them into a pot of boiling water or the microwave, wait a few moments, and voila! You have a delicious meal that is healthy and will fit into any diabetes meal plan.
If you find that you would like to have meals that are ready to go, and are healthy and taste gourmet, then BistroMD is exactly what you need! Click here so that we can answer any question you may have about how our company works, and what types of food you will receive.

COAH Update: Council Deadlocked
Conifer Contract
Curious about Hopewell Township's contract with Rochester, New York-based Conifer Realty?
via hopewelltwp.org
"Notice is hereby given that the Pennytown Task Force will hold a meeting on
Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. at the Hopewell Township Municipal
Building, 201 Washington Crossing-Pennington Road, Titusville, New Jersey, 08560."
WAKE UP Friends!
After a long summer of canceled meetings, Pennytown discussions are back on the agenda.
Last Spring our community rallied together and successfully opposed Hopewell Township's plans to partner with Kooltronic to build a major residential and commercial development at Marshall's Corner. Following that, the Township Committee proposed forming a task force to evaluate three options with how to proceed with the Township-owned Pennytown tract and Affordable Housing obligations.
Now, however, Township officials have seemingly scrapped any task force and are proceeding with a plan to build a 70-unit affordable housing rental apartment complex on the publicly-owned Pennytown plot.
As of Monday's Township Committee Meeting, there appeared to be near-agreement to transfer the bulk of the property to Conifer Realty, a private developer, to build and maintain the proposed rental units. The Township may also reserve a portion of the land to sell for commercial development.
The contract with Conifer has not yet been finalized or made public, but a few details emerged at the October 28 meeting, from comments by the Committee and Charles Lewis of Conifer:
Plans are to build a rental apartment complex to feature:
- Fourteen (14) 1-bedroom units to rent (for $207, $693, or $ $864);
- Thirty-six (36) 2-bedroom units to rent (for $435, $814, or $1018); and
- Twenty (20) 3-bedroom units to rent (for $930 or $1165).
The rental complex would be built to a maximum 3 stories, with a townhouse design preferred, but design "input" may be considered. Conifer would be responsible for all permits and due diligence expenses.
- the tree protection ordinance (with implication that if trees were removed they may be "revegitated" elsewhere),
- compliance with the 150 feet stream buffer, and
- water treatment issues (the developer would retain responsibility for waste water).
The 70-unit plan hews to the Township's original vision for Pennytown when it originally acquired the property.
We will continue to update this site as things develop, and we urge everyone to attend future meetings.
The Hopewell Township Planning Board announced a SPECIAL MEETING scheduled for Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 7PM. Agenda items include a discussion regarding septic/well water plans for the Pennytown Site. The agenda can be viewed HERE.
Meeting tonight (May 13, 2103)
The Hopewell Township Council will meet tonight (May 13, 2013) to discuss a number of issues, including a bond ordinance. This bond ordinance calls for the acquisition of property in and by the Township, appropriating $580,000 to purchase the property at Block 33, Lot 10, or the land adjacent to Kooltronic.
For the pending bond ordinance notice, please click HERE.For the meeting agenda, please click HERE.
"We are not moving forward." – Mayor Vanessa Sandom
There will be no joint venture. Hopewell Township will now move to develop the Pennytown tract WITHOUT Kooltronic.
Watershed Statement by Jim Waltman
The following was issued today (3/27/13) from the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association: "The Watershed has been advised by counsel not to attend tonight's meeting of the Hopewell Township Committee. A resolution on the agenda threatens the Watershed's new environmental center. Moreover, we believe that the meeting was improperly noticed. Attending the meeting could jeopardize the legal recourse available to us. Interested parties may view Watershed Executive Director Jim Waltman's statement on the proposed Kooltronic-Pennytown development on our website"
Statement from Planning Board member Lawrence R. Clarke
(Adapted with permission from the March 21, 2013 statement by Hopewell Township Planning Board member Lawrence Clarke preceding his "No" vote on a joint redevelopment)
In 2002, Hopewell Township adopted a governing Master Plan "dedicated to preserving, protecting and enhancing Hopewell's natural and cultural resources." Elected officials expended great resources enforcing those principles and defending strict, science-based zoning that recognized what the land could handle.
Fast-forward to the present. The Township Committee is on the verge of partnering with a private landowner to create the largest subdivision Hopewell has seen in many, many years, on rural land with no existing water or sewer service. The plan would create a brand-new "light-industrial hamlet" of 350 single-family homes, townhouses, and apartment units, plunked between the historic boroughs of Pennington and Hopewell, abutting a tributary of the Stony Brook.
What changed?
Proponents of the plan say it will help fulfill Hopewell Township's affordable housing obligations. They say it makes sense to pool property owned by a private landowner, Kooltronic, with township-owned land in the area known as Marshall's Corner. A partnership, they argue, will allow affordable units to be mixed with market-rate housing. Kooltronic says it has the right to build 255 units on its land under a court settlement. Ideally, a joint project would give the township a say in the character of that development.
Unfortunately, trying to balance the goals of a private landowner with those of the township could have severe unintended consequences. The township has adopted guiding principles aimed at limiting growth. Kooltronic has a stated goal of pursuing maximum development. It has already sued the township once to achieve that end.
As a member of Hopewell Township's planning board tasked with assessing the joint redevelopment plan, I've been watching this balancing act up close. The signs have not been encouraging:
— We have already heavily subsidized the cost for a developer to build high-density residential development in our township.
The proposed plan has cost taxpayers more than $200,000 so far in fees for consultants—a cost that would normally be borne by a developer. That's on top of more than $6 million that the township paid for the former Pennytown property across from Kooltronic's land.
We have a special planner who has defended a plan for dense, large-scale development geared toward the developer's goal of marketability, despite the conflicting goals of our Master Plan. Based on powerful redevelopment authority that would eclipse current zoning, the paid consultants came out of the gate with a plan that included 365 housing units – 40 more than the court-imposed maximum allowed for Kooltronic's land plus the 70 affordable housing units originally envisioned for the Pennytown site.
–The density of the proposed development far exceeds what would result from the township and Kooltronic developing their land independently.
The hamlet zoning created by the township's 2005 settlement with Kooltronic contains some costly tradeoffs in exchange for the high density allowed. It includes a requirement that Kooltronic preserve substantial open space elsewhere in the township to offset any large-scale development. It also mandates on-site open space preservation, and it requires the developer to solve the logistical puzzle of providing fresh water and wastewater service.
In the absence of the township partnership deal, what can Kooltronic really build?
–The extent of the township's affordable housing obligations is unclear, yet its counsel insists that it should proceed as if the old rules apply.
The fate of New Jersey's Council on Affordable Housing is currently being weighed by the state's Supreme Court. The goal of building affordable housing is laudable, but it's foolish to move forward on a major development based on COAH requirements that are in limbo. COAH has been very lucrative for land-use attorneys and municipal planners, but it's been terrible as a public policy tool aimed at making home ownership affordable and equitable in New Jersey.
–-Much of the planning process has aimed at making the proposed project economically feasible, instead of defending and supporting "building only what the land will support."
When a hired engineer found that the site was not well suited for high-density residential housing, we ordered additional drilling and water testing that finally produced a report filled with mixed signals, caveats, and disclaimers. We paid for a financial impact assessment that predicted negligible effects on the school district–even though the quality of local schools would likely be the development's greatest attraction—and buried the observation that the project is not even fiscally feasible at this time.
Finally, township officials have acknowledged that they could waive Kooltronic's open space preservation requirements as part of a joint development project.
How many more compromises will the township be forced to make as we try to balance our interests as stewards of the land with Kooltronic's stated desire for maximum development? The economic goals and concerns of a developer should not be our driving principles.
The Township Committee meeting planned for Monday, March 25th beginning at 6 pm at the Municipal Building, has been RESCHEDULED for WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27TH!
This is a "Special Meeting" to precede the meeting previously scheduled for 7 pm, the much-anticipated vote whether to Join with Kooltronic in the "redevelopment" of the Pennytown tract (thereby including the Kooltronic lot in the redevelopment plan), or whether to proceed with the redevelopment of Pennytown without "partnering" with Kooltronic.
The Agenda for the 6 pm "Special Meeting/Executive Session" is HERE which states that "formal actions may take place" — the Agenda cites an Executive Session Resolution.
The Agenda for the 7 pm Meeting is HERE and includes:
- Public Comments Section
- Work Session – Pennytown/Kooltronic issue
- A RESOLUTION concerning wastewater quality management plan to REJECT newly added sewer service systems for the Stony Brook Millstone Watershed
- An Executive Session Resolution

Teen That Looks Like Grandma: Lipodystrophy Makes A 13-Year Old Girl Look Like She's 50!
"Zara is not quite a full fledge teen yet, but she looks older than her 21 year old and 16 year old siblings. She also looks older than most of her friends' grandparents. Zara suffers from lipodystrophy, a genetic disorder that causes the supporting fatty tissue under the skin to crumble while the skin continues to grow. Zara's condition, Congenital Generalized Lipodistrophy, is extremely rare, only about 2,000 people in the entire world have been diagnosed. It is also associated with insulin resistance, diabetes, a high triglyceride level and fatty liver. The loss of subcutaneous fatty tissues happens at different rates – Zara's entire family suffers from the disease but her symptoms are far more serious than her older siblings. Zara looked like a grown up by the time she was ten. Now she struggles to convince bus drivers that she deserves the youth rate, not the senior discount. " - World News

In August 2000 I brought a nine month old baby girl named Rotchina to OSF-Children's Hosptial of Illinois (CHOI) in Peoria. Rotchina suffered from severe pulmonary valve stenosis. This means that she was born with a very small pulmonary valve which was restricting blood flow to her lungs.
An echocardiogram performed at OSF-CHOI in 2000 revealed a huge pressure gradient (174 mm hg) across a tiny pulmonic valve. (A normal pulmonary valve would have no gradient.) This meant that there was a huge block at the pulmonary valve as blood was rushing from her right ventricle through the tiny pulmonic valve on its way to her lungs. And her right ventricle was too big because it had been doing so much work to pump the blood through the small pulmonary valve.
In the Catheterization Lab at OSF the pediatric cardiologist and his excellent team at CHOI inserted a catheter into a major blood vessel in Rotchina's thigh and threaded the catheter up to her tight pulmonic valve. When it was determined the catheter was in the correct position, the cardiologist inflated a balloon at the end of the catheter and popped open her abnormal pulmonary valve. The valve area increased immediately which allowed much more blood to flow to her lungs with each heart beat.
The procedure was successful and Rotchina was released from the hospital the same day and went back to her host family in the Peoria area.
Rotchina stayed with this wonderful family until she was medically cleared and then we took her back to Port-au-Prince to be reunited with her mother.
Rotchina is now 14 years old. She and her mother survived the Haitian earthquake in 2010 which destroyed most of Port-au-Prince.
Recently I have been hearing that Rotchina has not been doing well. I called the CHOI cardiologist who opened her valve when she was a baby and described Rotchina's situation now. He offered some thoughts but he sounded shaken to hear her name again. He wished me luck in finding care for Rotchina.
So I had another OSF cardiologist review a recent echocardiogram that Rotchina had in Haiti. The cardiologist noted that Rotchina now has severe pulmonary valve regurgitation which means that her pulmonic valve, which was tight when she was a baby, is now very leaky. And this cardiologist stated that she may need to have heart surgery to have a new pulmonary valve placed.
But how would I get this done at OSF which is where it should be done? For a decade OSF has denied all of my Haitian Hearts patients from ever returning to OSF. (The surgery that Rotchina may need is not done in Haiti.)
So over a month ago I asked another friend of mine and a long time friend of Keith Steffen, OSF-Saint Francis Medical Center's CEO, to call Keith and ask him to accept Rotchina back to OSF for a complete cardiac work up and surgery if needed.
I will spare you the morbid details (most of them consistent with OSF's "administrative" contortions in the past), but after weeks of faithful efforts by my friend with Keith Steffen and Margaret Gustafson, Executive Director of CHOI, OSF did not remove their embargo against Rotchina. It was a painful lesson for my friend and he saw up close and personal how OSF works for Haitians kids.
The other day in Haiti I examined both Daniel and Rotchina. She is now a tall 14 year old adolescent who is very pleasant and polite and she and her mother appeared fine. Her mother was carrying the original medical records from OSF-CHOI like they were treasured documents.
Rotchina's mother states that Rotchina is a good student but does miss school due to health reasons. Her mother also reported that Rotchina is short of breath, has heart palpitations and chest pain. ( I hear these complaints almost everyday in Haiti. Sometimes they mean something significant and sometimes they don't.)
Rotchina's physical exam revealed normal vital signs but she did have a loud murmur over her pulmonic area that sounded like her pulmonary valve is indeed leaky as the OSF cardiologist mentioned when we reviewed Rotchina's echocardiogram in Peoria.
But as mentioned above, Rotchina is quite tall and I noticed she has long arms and skinny fingers. And she wears glasses. I asked myself if she has Marfan's Syndrome.
Marfan's is an inherited connective tissue disorder with many forms. Marfan's can cause problems in multiple systems. Hearts can have leaky valves, arms can be long as can fingers, and there is high incidence of visual problems associated with Marfan's.
Thus, Rotchina needs a work up, not only for her pulmonary valve to see if it needs to be replaced, but to determine if she has Marfan's as well. If she becomes pregnant in the next few years and she DOES have Marfan's, she could die in pregnancy. (Women with Marfan's can be high risk for rupturing their aorta during pregnancy and need to be monitored carefully.) But what do I tell Rotchina and her mother when she has NOT had a proper medical workup?
So Rotchina, like Daniel, is stuck in Haiti with nowhere to go. She needs to come to OSF so the physicians can work her up and give her appropriate treatment. The OSF Sisters first mission value statement reads: "Personal worth and dignity of every person we serve regardless of race, color, religion and ability to pay." So I think this should cover Rotchina too.

Red Bull to throw everything at Mercedes
SHANGHAI: Champions Red Bull believe they can pick up the pace and take the fight to dominant Mercedes now that Formula One is heading back to Europe after the first four 'flyaway' races in Asia and the Middle East.
Team principal Christian Horner kept calm after Mercedes chalked up their fourth victory in a row, and third successive one-two finish, in Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix won by Lewis Hamilton.
"If we are going to make a championship of it, we've got to take the fight to them," Horner, whose team have just one podium finish so far this year, told Sky Sports television.
"We're going to give it everything. I believe we can take the fight to them, we just can't concede too much more ground."
"We were 22km an hour slower on that kilometre straight today, that represented almost 100 metres that we're giving away on the straight. That's where we've got to improve.
"We know where we've got to fix our issues and hopefully there's some steps towards that in Barcelona," added the Briton.
The next race is the Spanish Grand Prix on May 11, with all the teams sure to bring upgrades after the three-week break.
Red Bull's design wizard Adrian Newey skipped Shanghai to work on improvements and his rivals need no reminding about his reputation.
"The Red Bulls are famous for coming back and Newey is there," Niki Lauda, non-executive chairman of the Mercedes team, warned on Sunday evening. "He wasn't here so he sends something new for Barcelona, I'm afraid."
Exceeding expectations
Australian Daniel Ricciardo finished fourth for Red Bull in China, with quadruple champion Vettel fifth after being ordered to move aside for his younger team mate for the second race in a row. The German did so, but only after initial reluctance.
Horner had only praise for Ricciardo, who has had the better of Vettel in three races.
"He's just Joe Cool, isn't he? He's always smiling," Horner said of the Australian. "And he's quick. we knew he was quick but he's exceeded all our expectations so far.
"He's so cool under pressure. I don't know whether you hear any of his radio but it's like he's having a chat at a coffee bar," he added. "You wouldn't think he's in a grand prix.
"He's been enormously impressive since the start of the season in Melbourne. His confidence is growing, you can see that."
Ricciardo has outqualified Vettel three times but Horner said the German would fight back.
"We know that Seb is very sensitive to the car, how it enters into a corner and at the moment he hasn't got the feel that he needs from the car," he said.
"As soon as he gets on top of that, bang. He'll be right back," added the team boss.
Vettel, winner of nine races in a row at the end of last year, has made slow starts before and still come out on top but he faces his biggest challenge yet.
The new Mercedes power unit has been the pick of the grid while Red Bull's partners Renault are still playing catch up.
Although Red Bull have now clawed their way back to second in the constructors' standings, they are 97 points behind Mercedes. Vettel is fifth in the drivers' championship, 46 adrift of Mercedes' Nico Rosberg.
"He's a deep thinker and he'll analyse this," Horner said of the Chinese race. "One thing he does incredibly well is look inwardly at where he can improve, where can he be better, what is the other guy doing that's giving him that advantage?
"Sebastian is an absolute fighter and we've seen that before… we'll sit down and talk it through but he won't need motivating, that's for sure." – Reuters

Moribund comes from the Latin adjectival gerundive form that we would call "dying". No other words in English that retain this part of the "-ibundus" ending come to mind; its obscurity leaves it open for mutation. Bound can mean "headed in the direction of" among other things; it can also mean "tied up". So moribound can be a reinforcement of moribund, meaning bound for death.
While not a eggcorn for the ages, I think "moribound" might fit the eggcorn bill. Otherwise, it is a blend. There is first-person testimonial evidence available in support of blending in the first example.
Commenter: Rather than being moribound by old habits and old ways of doing business which was the Rumsfield/Cheney appraisal of him Shinseki gave off the air of being a cautious administrator
Responder: As an aside, you made a pretty unique error there – I think you meant to say "bound", not "moribound", although the way of thinking you say Shinseki wasn't bound by does indeed sound "moribund"!
Commenter: thanks for the grammatical correction. Apologies. How is this a unique grammatical error? I don't mean to come across as an ignorant hack. I meant to say trapped to death by old habits and I wasn't sure how to say it consicely.
Responder: you definitely don't come across as an ignorant hack; i hope i don't come across as a pedantic prick. it's unique to me because i've never seen it before, and also because it sort of made sense – it had the right verb and also a good adjective, only they were combined portmanteau-style.. i was like, 'far out'.
come to think of it, that might be a good candidate for a new word – 'moribound' meaning 'trapped to death by old [obsolete] habits'. Coates, alert the lexicographers, and let's start a web meme

You're right—it's weird how rare the "bund" suffix is in English. And it's hard even to look up examples—in the OED's etymology for "moribund," they indicate a link to an article on the suffix, but in the electronic edition, at least, there's no article that I can find.
"Floribunda" roses spring to mind. And then there are also "pudibund" ("prudish") and "furibund" ("angry"). There must be more, but I couldn't turn any others up in a quick check.
Strictly speaking, the "-bundus" ending is not a Latin gerundive, either in form (a gerundive is an adjective molded on the present participle and there is no Latin verb present participle ending in buns ) or in meaning (doesn't have the "ought to" sense of gerundives). The "-bundus" ending is just a trick the Romans used to turn verbs into adjectives. If "-bund" has any semantics, it suggests that the action describe by the verb is a continuing one. See the discussion of this popular Latin ending at http://verbosum.blogspot.com/2008/12/fa … undus.html .
You can add to your English -bund terminations the words "cogitabund," "errabund," and "ludibund." My (no longer) secret site for finding these spelling patterns is http://chir.ag/projects/tip-of-my-tongue/ .
But, yes, knitpicking aside, "moribound" is an extremely common eggcorn. Well-spotted.

Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
These are wonderful words. They seem so self-evident and eloquent. As blends they might be equally useful: pudibound. Cogitabound. Like muscle-bound. Errabund looks predisposed to conflation with error and abundance, though apparently it's closer to erratic. And I loved some that are gone now: lascivibund meant "playing"; it would be used differently today.
I did find one live one in the wild:
Before I start to examine the amazing Lies Bleeding the blind, i must state that I am a furibound death metal fan, whose encounters with power metal, though not limited, are still much pasionless and cold…
Isn't the -bond in vagabond cognate? (It's vagabundo in Spanish: you also have errabundo , also meaning 'wanderer', and others there.) There may be a few hits with vagabund: those I saw were in, or likely influenced by, German.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
Syncornicity. I was editing my post above as you entered yours.
Just pondering a bit these "-bound" eggcorns in words such as "moribound" and "vagabound" (See also the discussion here.). Perhaps we have not milked all of the eggcorns from this suffix..
The two meanings that David B mentions:
Bound can mean "headed in the direction of" among other things; it can also mean "tied up".
stem from different roots. The "tied up" sense of "bound" is the past participle of the Teutonic "bind." The "headed in the direction of" meaning derives from the medieval English word "boun," meaning to "be/get ready." This second sense of "bound" appears in the adjectives "homeward bound (i.e., ready to go home)," "outward bound," "upward bound," "heaven bound," "bound and ready", and even in the verb of the idiom "bound to [lose/win/fail/etc]."
I think there may be some confusion which "bound" is being used in the "moribound" and "vagabound" eggcorns. Does "moribound" convey a sense to the speakers of "headed toward death" or does it mean "tied down by death?" Or is it both? At any rate, "moribound" is only one instance of a deeper and more systematic confusion between these two "bound" suffixes. When some people say they are "outward bound," do they conceptualize this as "tied to something that leads one away?" Does "homeward bound" mean to some people "securely fixed to thoughts of home?" Have we here, in short, a hidden eggcorn in which people substitute one meaning of "bound" for the other? The OED, by hinting that "boun" may have received its "d" from a mix-up with "bound," points us in this direction.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
DavidT mentioned the Spanish "vagabundo" above. I came across this in Historical Linguistics by Lyle Campbell (p. 101):
In Spanish, vagabundo 'vagabond, tramp' has given rise also to vagamundo (same meaning), assoicated by speakers in some way with mundo 'world' and vagar 'to wander, roam, loaf', since a tramp wanders about in the world.
Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
I had not heard Campbell's example of vagamundo , though it sounds quite natural. However it "feels" to me like a clever coinage, not a mistake (though of course it may have been an unconscious mistake for some.) The "verb-object" construction, closely parallel to the English "scarecrow" construction but much more productive, permits at times an intransitive verb (such as vagar 'wander') with a locative or other less-than-direct object. ( Scofflaw is an English example of the same sort: you don't scoff the law, but scoff at it.) A very close parallel is trotamundos "globetrotter" (which sometimes occurs without the final -s 'plural'—which would be reasonable enough since there is generally only one world that a globetrotter trots around. So vagamundo would be a kind of construction-switching pun, I think. I at least would happily use it as such.

we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .

|Find the best surf spots
Saturday May 8 2010 01:17:23 PM
Surf spot: Fairy Bower, Australia
Session's Rate:
Wind direction: No wind
Wind Strength: Glassy
Nb waves ridden: 5
Length of the surf session: 60 min
Surfboard ridden: Fish. 6'8"
Fins: Thruster
Weather and water temp: 25 temp. 20 in water
Waves height: Less than 1m / 3ft
Waves Quality:
- Fun
Went out on a stunning Sydney Autumn afternoon with another mate, we're both amateurs/ man grommets which is why we chose a small day as our baptism at the bower. There were two paddle surfers, a guy riding a mal, a guy in a kayak and a Brazilian guy on a short board who was also out there for the first time and me and my mate on a fish 6'8"and epoxy 6'8' respectively.
It was just about bang on high tide, but you could tell it wasn't a very high high-tide, as the water mark was visible on the rocks on the point. (I've just checked the tide reading was 1.4m, and it can get up to 1.7m)
For high tide I was surprised how shallow the water was. This is also due to the fact that as it was so small, we just paddled from Shelley beach out through the break. I can't imagine that you would do this with any size about. In any case, we paddled out and I could touch the bottom easily where we were waiting for waves.
Finally a wave came through that hadn't been snaffled by one of the other longer more adapted surf craft to the conditions, and it was good quality. It was small but a clean little face to follow and presumably do something on if I knew how to surf well. We'd surfed North Steyne earlier in the day and the lines were so square with the Easterly swell that it was closing out perfectly, so this was a welcome change.
I caught two other nice mellow waves which were perfectly adapted to my level. The take off was very smooth with a shoulder and plenty of time to get up, relatively speaking. Generally the waves were very mellow as well.
Would be interested to surf again in slightly larger conditions to see where the waves break with a bit more size. Some of the rocks just jut out, 10 cm from the surface. I would probably consider a helmet if it was big next time, just to tick all the boxes of man grommetry....
The spot itself is breathtakingly beautiful and the paddle out past scuba and snorklers, with people walking by on the promenade, gives this spot a really unique feel. Shelley beach has the advantage of catching the very last rays of western sun as well. Manly gets dark about 15 minutes earlier due to the buildings and trees obstructing the light.
The unofficial language of Shelley beach is French by the way. It seemed every time I overheard anyone speak on the walk out there, it was in French. Vive la France!!

Free sample essay on Animal Farm
The seven commandments in Animal Farm are as follows:
- Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy
- Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend
- No animal shall wear clothes
- No animal shall sleep in a bed
- No animal shall drink alcohol
- No animal shall kill any other animal
- All animals are equal
If we first just take a moment to look at these commandments. It is obvious that the animals are determined to abolish humans, since they say that anything upon two legs is an enemy. But some animals go upon two legs, which brings us to the second commandment, everything with four legs, or has wings, is a friend. With these two commandments the animals have completely isolated themselves from humans. The next three commandments abolish the things that are, according to the animals, most affiliated with humans. The animals, in their struggle to separate themselves from the humans, simply do not do them. Regarding the next commandment, it is pretty obvious why it should be followed. It doesn't need further explaining. The next commandment deals with democracy, and is also obvious in why it should be followed. Continue reading Sample Essay on Animal Farm

The Maxi-Cosi Mico AP includes a car seat base that conveniently stays in your vehicle, while the removable car seat doubles as an infant carrier and includes a contoured, adjustable carry handle. Many parents enjoy the convenience of stay-in-the-car bases, which allow the infant car seat to be quickly removed from the vehicle without having to wake a sleeping baby. The Maxi-Cosi Mico AP can be partnered with the Quinny Buzz or Quinny Zapp stroller to create a stylish and lightweight travel system thats perfect for transporting an infant in safety and comfort. The Quinny Buzz and Zapp strollers can be used independent of the Mico AP car seat once your baby reaches at least six months old and is able to sit upright unassisted

The locking clip is conveniently stored on the back of the child seat.
The Maxi-Cosi Mico AP infant car seat includes a five-point harness and four harness heights to ensure a secure fit for your growing baby.

WASHINGTON - Rep. Dennis Kucinich's single impeachment article will get a committee hearing - but not on removing President Bush from office.
The House on Tuesday voted 238-180 to send his article of impeachment - for Bush's reasoning for taking the country to war in Iraq - to the Judiciary Committee, which buried Kucinich's previous effort.
This time, the panel will open hearings. But House Democratic leaders emphatically said the proceedings will not be about Bush's impeachment, a first step in the Constitution's process of a removing a president from office.
Instead, the panel will conduct an election-year review - possibly televised - of anything Democrats consider to be Bush's abuse of power. Kucinich, D-Ohio, is likely to testify. But so will several scholars and administration critics, Democrats said.
The hearing is a modest gesture by House Democratic leaders to members like Kucinich who insist that Bush's reasons for going to war meet the standard for impeachment. Kucinich had said that if his impeachment article is tabled he would just propose another one.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has made clear since she ascended to that post that there would be no impeachment proceedings. But that didn't stop Kucinich from introducing 35 articles of impeachment, spending four hours in June reading them on the House floor and demanding hearings. The House summarily dispatched them for burial to the Judiciary Committee.
Kucinich came back with a single article, which was read into the record Tuesday. As it did with the others, the House referred it to the panel, chaired by Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich.
But this time, Pelosi said with a conspicuous lack of enthusiasm, that it would see some committee action.
Democratic aides said the hearing could take place as soon as next week.
The impeachment resolution alleges that Bush misled the public into thinking that he had no choice but to wage war on Iraq and implied that Iraq had helped al-Qaida with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Democratic aides have widely suggested those gauging the bill's prospects look to a precedent: the impeachment articles against Vice President Dick Cheney, which were sent to Conyers' committee in November. There's no evidence they will be considered before the Bush administration leaves office in January.
Those were Kucinich's, too. Republicans, seeing a chance to force Democrats into an embarrassing debate, voted to bring up the resolution. Democrats countered by pushing through a motion to scuttle the bill from the floor.

If you have not seen it in person yet, go buy some it is fantastic!! As soon as I opened my order I wanted to abandon all other projects and sew with it.
I think the prints are perfect for every day use, so a bag it had to be. But with most bag patterns I use a combination of prints and I could not make my mind up which print to feature and which to use for the lining and or pockets. So I decided not to choose at all and make reversible totes!
I drafted a simple pattern after browsing through lots of images of reversible totes on Google. I had never done a one piece bag before and it took me a while to figure out how to sew the handles closed, but after spending some quality time with Mr. Seam Ripper I managed to figure it out ;-)
I love this slouchy hobo style bag, it's a casual every day shopping, going to the beach, running an errand type of bag. But all that is just an excuse to carry around a bit of Lotta with you every day ;-)

Need visual Novel recommendations, translated ones official or not
Hi for th holidays i'm thinking of playing some VN's, and would like some recommendations so i can prepare in time, visual novels that i loved where (in this order): Muv-luv (played: Extra, Unlimted, Alternative), Devil On G-String (Haru Usami's Route, simply brilliant), DC (especially the second one) & Katawa Shoujo.
Ones that i thought of trying out are Little Busters, Ef and FAte/Stay Night, any other recommendations ?
PS: i don't care much for eroge little to none in fact, what i want is interesting characters and a nice good/solid story.

On topic: what genre do you prefer seeing that all the examples that you mentioned have a wide variety of genres
Also playing through Little busters, Fate/stay night and EF will already take quite some time. Unless you will be reading non stop for roughly 7+ hours per day, I am pretty sure you will be busy with those 3 for many weeks
edit: the title is a little confusing, because i am not entirely sure if you are looking for translated ones or not.
If you are not looking for translated ones, then the better VN's from 2012 that i have read were Hatsuyuki Sakura, Kono Oozora ni Tsubasa wo Hirogete and Grisaia no Meikyuu.
If you are looking for translated ones, then aside from the ones that you played and going to play, i would recommend Sharin no Kuni and Hoshizora no memoria (although those are nakiges) . While i did like those VN's, i am not sure how good the translation is on those VN's because i read those games in japanese.

Thank you for the answer, as for genre it doesn't have to be a specific one, it just has to be good, it would be perfect if it had romance or being revolved around romance, you could say that's the things that all those novels i've listed have in common. But i don't mind at all action, fantasy or Sci Fi, as seen from my top two favorite VN's at the moment (Muv-Luv and Devil on G-String).
As for the title i meant that i'm looking for translated VN's either official translations, or fan made one.
PS: yeah i'm going to probably invest 7 hours + a day in them.

Don't Call Me Bro
If you're going to get into Fate/Stay Night, you should also try Shingetsutan Tsukihime, the title before FSN in Type Moon's works. Also note Witch on the Holy Night, Type-Moon's latest, came out in Japan this year, so expect a translation in the next couple of years and keep that in mind for future targets.
Steins;Gate is also good.
Seinarukana: Spirit of Eternity Sword is a nice one if you're interested in with with a mix of VN and JRPG elements and some very high quality artwork.
Clannad is definitely better in game form than in anime form.

I watched the anime, and now I'm playing the VN of S;G.
It's worth it because there are a lot of things that can go different other than the "true ending". A lot more interactions between the characters, an intriguing "choice" system (All through the phone) and different endings make the deal for me. It's like watching clannad and then playing the VN.

^Thanks will keep it in mind then but it will take a bit longer since i finished the anime not that long ago.
1. Eien no Aselia Kono Daichi no Hate de which it seems is only available in english without h-scenes (which i don't mind at all if that means it does not take out anything else from the game like the romance development)
Or the second one: Seinarukana -The Spirit of Eternity Sword 2- ?
Does Tsukihime have a lot of romance as well ?

I'll chime in and suggest you try ~Ever17: The Out of Infinity~
It was the first visual I ever played and really set the bar high for me. There are also other novels in the series including Never7 and Remember11 that are translated. The stories do support one another but you don't need to play the others to understand the story.
And thanks to Sinner I'll give Seinarukana: Spirit of Eternity Sword a whirl too.

Would it be possible for you to list all the visual novels you've played, not just enjoyed? It would be frustrating for us to recommend something you've already gone through.
I'm just a beginner to VNs so I don't have much to offer. But I do recommend you play through the following short VNs:
Kinetic novel. Sad story about a chronically ill young couple who go on a journey.
Freeware Download (includes both the original VN and the prequel)
The Dandelion Girl
Kinetic novel. Sci-fi with time travel. This VN is an adaptation of a classic sci-fi short story. The text is exactly the same as the original story, it just has added visuals and audio.
Freeware Download
Kinetic novel. Post-apocalyptic sci-fi. I haven't played it in a long time, but I feel that this is probably Key's greatest work I've seen yet.
True Remembrance
Kinetic novel. Supernatural/fantasy. This is hard for me to summarize, but it left me with a very positive impression. You don't read this for the art, but for the story.
Freeware Download
Saya no Uta
Visual novel with a small number of very important choices. Sci-fi/horror. I'd be surprised if you haven't seen this yet. Written by the famous Urobuchi Gen of Madoka Magica and Phantom of Inferno. Amazing and thrilling, and all of the endings are legitimate.

Also if someone coul answer my previous question i would be delighted, to get the best experience should i play first Ef the First Tale or can i start with Rf a Fairy tale of two ? I know that the First tale is a prequel of sort but what i'm looking for is to get the most out of the main novel, for example: if the First tale would bring some spoilers in that would make a Fairy Tale of Two less interesting then i would start with a Fairy tale of two.

kallen never actually KNEW euphie
to the outsiders eye euphie WAS a sheltered doll with no idea of how the real world works
she had good intentions, but its not like kallen knew about them
and even LELOUCH's reaction to the SAZ when he first heard euphie declare it was "if you think this would work, then you havent seen or heard ANYTHING"
lelouch only came to see the truth in what she was doing when he learned that she was willing to give up her own position and power to achive it
and whats wrong with hot and fiery passion
if anything, thats what suzaku NEEDS
someone who would force him to come out of his stupid shell of self imposed isolation by standing up to him rather then just accepting his wishes
sometimes what he WANTS and what he NEEDS are two completely different things (he did spend most of the show WANTING to DIE)
and considering that the entire WORLD thinks of him as zero, and there is a level of distance awarded by the mask
few people would be willing to stand up to him
but i can definitly see kallen being willing to do just that (since she knows who he is)

Not really. Kallen and Suzaku would never work, partly because they were both an important part of Lelouch's life, so it is rather difficult for Kallen to be with someone that knew that much the man she loved. Not to mention he did kill him. No matter the plan and so on.
Generally, Kallen and Suzaku have the same outlook but they are really different, in terms of "choosing" their lovers. Whatever though, it is all (baseless mostly) speculation, so yes, like Squall used to say ...whatever.

suzaku DID know lelouch best
but i dont see how THATS the problem with this script
suzaku is the only man on earth who is around kallen's age and knows that lelouch wasnt an evil basterd
dating someone who DID think lelouch was a monster would, i assume, be even HARDER for kallen

In my eyes, both Kallen and Suzaku becoming close friends could happen. Nothing beyond that(leave it to fanfics) personally.

Son, i don't see Kallen getting with Suzaku in any possible way either, but i don't think Suzaku being the man who killed Lelouch got anything with this. I can't see Kallen being with another man at all, being Suzaku or anybody else. At the end of the series, i think she's even seeing Suzaku as a nice guy, she knows that Suzaku didn't wanted to do that and that he suffered more than anyone else in this mess, so, there's no hard feelings between them to stop a romance, i just don't see them getting there anyway. Not even because of their lives, since taking care of the whole world can't be easy(even if you have Schneisel to help you, you still got to appear in a lot of places and do a lot of stuff, that's hard), so Suzaku can't have a relationship with anyone, unless his girlfriend want to have a date for semester.
But beyond all of that, Suzaku is pretty happy with Euphemia in his heart and so do Kallen with her Lelouch, so i guess that's enough of them. I agree with you in the end, but not because Suzaku killed Lelouch, but because they're already happy as they are now and they don't need anything else.

@Kid: I agree with both Kallen/Suzaku being pleased with their lost loved ones in their heart(Forgot to mention that before).
Kallen can accept and understand what Lelouch had planned. Doesn't mean she has to like it without an doubt. For all we know, Nunnally's reaction toward Lelouch at the end about just wanting to be with her brother. Could be the very same for Kallen(Wish we could have heard Kallen when she was screaming out when Suzaku was about to stab Lelouch). Once again, who knows maybe Kallen could be upset to her own self about falling for his act at the turn 22 scene. Especially given how her loyalty/devotion character traits are so grand.

One of the few controversial subjects that split the Kalulu community. The way I see it if Kallen were to have a relationship post ZR (and I think she doesn't want nor need one) Suzaku is a good candidate for what its worth.
I see it like this Suzaku >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than any other male on the show
And in turn Suzaku >>>>>>>>random dude.
I'm not even saying Suzaku and Kallen need to be in love. I could totally see a situation like the song "Two out of three ain't bad"
They have ties in Lelouch, the truth of ZR, lost loved ones, and they have respect for each other. Nothing has to grow from it but the soil is fertile enough under the right conditions of course.

It could happen, but if it were to happen... Well, i don't know, i would feel like it's not the right thing. Unless they were going to do something really nice(and by nice i mean a whole series just for the two of them to get together... With two seasons... And a ova where Lelouch resurrects and Kallen discover that it's Suzaku the one who she really loves), it would look like a cheap move, like "Hey, we lost our lovers" "Yeah, it sux" "..." "...." "So, do you wanna make out?" "yeah, sure." No, not for Kallen and Suzaku.

I agree with Suzaku>>random dude or any other character in the show. Since there is some base there compared to any other character within the show on an personal level.
Just for myself, like I always said before. I would have to see the romantic development regarding Kallen being with anyone else in an sequel(If it ever happened given Kallen's romantic development was only toward Lelouch and no one else.). To start believing otherwise.

I don't see them hoping into bed together over Lelouch's grave or catching each others eye during an independence day celebration.
It would be difficult, just like it would be very difficult for them to find anyone else. I just find it slightly less difficult because at least they can understand each others pain.
Not many people can do that for Kallen.

suzaku's "choices" if you will are VERY limited at this point
and since lelouch made him promise to give up his own happiness forever, he's not likely to be WILLING to start any relationship
he's more then likely to try and FOLLOW that promise
but he's also human at the end of the day
and he's stuck wearing that mask for the rest of his life (a mask who's wearer must carry the world of his shoulders)
when lelouch wore the mask he had a whole other life to support him (C.C, ashford, nunnaly)
suzaku has NONE of that, since he's not SUPPOSE to him anything other then his life as zero
and i cant really see him talking to NUNNALY about how hard it might be to do this
he killed her brother and this is his punishment, so i dont see him trying to talk to her about his trouble
thats where kallen has an edge, since she already KNOWS how heavy that mask is
and she knows that lelouch didnt have to do it alone
suzaku might not be ready to open up WILLINGLY, but if kallen confronts him about it, without just letting him wave it off as nothing, she could make him open up
she already did make him open up once before
she's the first person he ever willingly told about killing his father
and she got him to open up by NOT being willing to just accept his views but by confronting them, and forcing him to defend them
my main point is THIS
for all that suzaku wants to keep the promise to lelouch, he only has a few YEARS at best before he breaks
no one can carry that much on his shoulders for that long without help (lelouch didnt do it alone after all)
kallen is in a prime position to extend that help (as she is one of the very few people who know who suzaku IS)
what grows from there could be anything
completely disagreeing with paradox13

Towards the end it all deteriorated, not just Kallen, she suffered as a natural result. The last episode kind of salvaged her character and gave us some closure, it didn't do her justice, but ok.

Blade, about Nunna, well, i don't even know if he knows that she knows(that's a lot of knows), it wasn't like Lelouch explained to her and everyone saw it, maybe she's just supporting Suzaku from the shadows. I actually can see Suzaku talking about it. It would be hard, of course, but Nunnally would never be with him without understanding the whole thing, so i can see them talking about the whole thing someday.
Either way, Suzaku got Nunnally and Schneisel as lifeboats. I don't see him going for Kallen happening. In fact, for me, i don't see Suzaku having a hard time at all with this Zero thing. Okay, he sacrificed his own self to do this, but, he didn't needed to be Suzaku anymore, his closest ones(except for Nunnally and to a less extent, Kallen, Lloyd and Cecil) are dead, he doesn't have to go back to ashford or looking for something else with his life. At this point, he's already satisfied with what he got, besides, we all know that in the end, he got what he always wanted: Power to change things, so i don't think that the help he got right know isn't enough.
It would be nice to see Kallen and Suzaku working together and stuff, but i can't imagine Suzaku looking for it. That man got the eye of the tiger, i can't see him breaking his promise with Lelouch.

think about it like this
how much pressure do you think he would have to deal with every day
he IS pretty much responsible to rebuild the entire world after he and lelouch helped tear it down
britannia is a total mess with its entire goverment gone
the UFN is not much better
and suzaku is the KEY FIGURE in all this recreation
Schneisel is a TOOL that serves him
he can use him, but he cant turn to him for support
and the UFN was the product of zero's creation, which means that it would also require his help in rebuilding and forging peace with britannia
he has a LOT of work cut out for him
now imagine having to do all that without anyone he can relay on for support
anyone he can BITCH to about his day, or turn to for advice
or just someone who he can have a normal conversation with like a normal person
C.C said that the power of the king will isolate you
well suzaku is even MORE isolated then lelouch EVER was
i cant see him lasting for very long without emotional support
and i dont think nunnaly can be someone who would provide it for the simple reason that you stated
i dont see him turning to her for her help
there is no supporting from the shadows about this
the kind of support i'm talking about is emotional support, which has to be direct for him to be able to use it
i'm not saying that he would likely turn to kallen willingly
but i'm saying that kallen is more likely to FORCE him to let her help then nunnaly is
but again, its all speculation

Honestly, I don't even see Kallen going out her way to help Suzaku emotionally about being Zero about the burden(He accepted the role and seems ok with it). She has her own life to attend to than worrying about Suzaku(Which she never really did much of during the series). If Suzaku came to her for help, she'll more than likely tell him since he agreed with the role with Lelouch. He has to live with it.
I don't even think Suzaku needs any emotional help. If he does, Nunnally right there next to him. Nunnally being around him alot more often than Kallen.

It's a complicated situation all around. I think Suzaku needs to be Nunally's rock in all this, not the other way around, since she's as much of a global figurehead as he is now. The idea of your brother's murderer, who is your current bodyguard, coming to you for emotional support is just...awkward.
I think Kallen would be willing to help if asked, but I doubt Suzaku would ask. Part of his punishment is to bear the weight of the world's hope, so I belive the circumstances would need to be globally catastrophic before Suzaku would even try seeking Kallen out again, especially given how important he knows she was to Lelouch (whether you wish to regard that as romantic or platonic importance is for irrelevant).
Beyond that, Suzaku's is just as stubborn as Lelouch, so any sort of personal problems or issues would be bottled up. Still, this being anime we must resign ourselves to believeing that Suzaku will remain completely stable (or whatever we're calling him) unless Word of God says otherwise...
That being said, while Schneizel is a brain puppet, he's still a super-genius and Chessmaster, so I suppose Suzaku could have Schneizel console him somehow or offer therapy, even if Suzaku knew he was doing it mindlessly.
...And now I'm imagining a scene where Schneizel is holding Zerozaku curled up like a baby as the latter sucks his thumb through the mask (a modified slide-system would be installed to allow this).
Schneizel: You're doing a good job sir. A very good job indeed.
Zerozaku: Have you forgotten who you're talking too?
Schneizel: My apologies. You're a bad, bad, naughty, evil man. You failed to protect those you love, killed millions due to your own stubborness, mistrusted your closest friend, and drove him into a downward spiral of insanity that culminated in his self-orchestrated suicide.
Zerozaku: Aaaaaahhhhh, that's better.
Schneizel: ...And I am very uncomfortable with you trying to nurse right now...

Fire update
The Eagle Fire near Leavenworth continues to burn. There are now about 600 firefighters working that fire, which is about 10 percent contained. There are 30 homes there that have had to be evacuated.
In California, a wildfire just outside Yosemite National Park more than tripled in size in the last 24 hours. That fire is at 99 square miles and is only 1 percent contained.
The Beaver Creek fire near Sun Valley Idaho is about 2/3 contained now, but there are still about 1500 men and women fighting that fire. The concern there is thunderstorms predicted for the area this weekend – sometimes there are high winds with them that could make the fire start spreading faster.

IBM's Shook '83 Shares Insights to Successby Howard Hewitt • June 14, 2012 Share:
One of the great experiences of attending Wabash College is the exposure to many of the College's successful alums. The Summer Business Immersion Program brings graduates back to campus to share insight. Rob Shook '83 spoke Thursday about his extensive IBM business career.
Shook left Wabash as a Lambda Chi Psychology major and has risen through his 25-year career at IBM to the title of Chief Strategist/Industry Solutions.
Shook outlined his path starting with an internship in Texas, to work in New York, back to IBM labs in Texas, NBC in New York, Florida for management training, a three-year stint in London, three years in Australia, and eventually rising to his current position.
But Shook also spoke passionately about the liberal arts, the need for great communication skills to be successful, and how he has been open about his sexuality at IBM and the importance of authenticity.
"It gave me visibility by being open about who I am," he said. "If people know I'm going to be open about that then they know I'm going to be honest about everything."
Shook has become a leader and groundbreaker at IBM as an openly gay man. He has helped formulate new policies for IBM for its gay, lesbian, and transgender employees. He's also helped company leaders market to the gay community.
He believes his success started with his education. "My liberal arts education has probably had the biggest impact on my career," Shook said. "I had experience here working with faculty members and doing research. My Wabash education has been the biggest contributor to success in my career."
During several points in the hour-and-a-half session with the 16 Wabash students he stressed communication skills and public speaking. He urged the young men to volunteer for every opportunity to speak before a group.
"The advantage of speaking public is a skill set that will put you head and shoulders above many in the workplace," he stressed. "And coming out of college you are in the most academic learning-rich environment that you'll find in your lives. Learn for the sake of learning."
See Shook's entire lecture in the video below.

Vanessa Hudgens: Zac Efron Helped Me Handle Fame
Vanessa Hudgens is all smiles at the premiere of Girl Walks Into a Bar on Monday (March 7) at ArcLight Cinemas in Los Angeles.
The 22-year-old Beastly actress recently talked about how her parents and friends have helped her deal with fame.
"I had my family to keep me grounded. I'm so close to my mom [an office worker] and dad [a firefighter]. Their world doesn't revolve around Hollywood," she told USA Today.
"I also had (my High School Musical co-stars) to grow with, like Ashley [Tisdale] and Zac [Efron]. We all went on this journey together and had each other to fall back on. You've got to have your friends to keep your head on straight," she added.

I got an interesting email from a reader named Gareee about my comment about grilling chicken breasts. He offered the suggestion to simmer them in the marinade a bit before getting them on the grill. I think I will give this a try, though it will probably take a little trial-and-error to determine the proper amount of simmering, but it sounds like this may be as effective as other items that I do this way, as I use beer to precook sausages and chicken wings before grilling them, which does a nice job of keeping them moist.

[Podcast] 'A Government Systematically Undermining Public Confidence in Public Education'
Longtime public education advocate Jane Bouey on the teachers' strike, the state of public schools in Vancouver and BC, and the Public Education Project
Listen to the program. Subscribe to the weekly podcast here.
What is the state of public education in Vancouver and BC schools? Why do class size and composition matter? What is the context of the current teachers' strike and the lockout initiated by the BC government?
In an in-depth conversation, former Vancouver School Board Trustee Jane Bouey discusses the state of public education in BC and Vancouver, provides the context to the current strike and lockout, and gives an update on the Vancouver School Board's work on updating their sexual orientation and gender identity policies. A recent Georgia Straight article details the VSB's work on updating these policies and the organized backlash that Jane Bouey describes.
Jane Bouey also explains the importance of local public education activism – and the yet-to-be-launched Public Education Project which aims to bring public education issues to the fore in Vancouver municipal politics.
The Public Education Project has yet to launch their website, but if you are interested in finding out more you can contact Jane Bouey by email or Twitter.

Hubby and I recently spent a weekend in Newport for the Folk Festival and I have to tell you it was so much fun!!!
The music was awesome, with legends like Richie Haven gracing the stage and Charlotte natives the Avett Brothers. But it was also an amazing venue to discover new music. The festival introduced me to musicians like Yim Yames, Andrew Bird, Sam Bush, and April Smith. It was also an opportunity to see a bunch of folks I'm already a fan of like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Swell Season (from the movie Once), and Calexico.
What made the weekend even more spectacular was the weather. It seemed everyone was hoping for sunshine and a nice sea breeze and well, the rosary beads strung outside a nearby church, worked!
Here's a look at the sights and sounds from our weekend; shot completely from my iPhone.
