Most of us go through our days working, running errands, tending to children, doing chores, and enjoying our hobbies and leisure time, all with little thought to how fortunate we are to be able to speak clearly and hear well. We take for granted that we can communicate with others, much like we take for granted breathing and walking. But not everyone is so fortunate, and for those among us who do suffer with speech and hearing issues, there is help available.
May is Better Hearing and Speech Month, as designated by the American Speech Language Hearing Association. This annual recognition is intended to raise awareness about communication disorders and to educate the public about treatments that are available.
Kevin Keith is a masters level trained speech-language pathologist at Southwest Memorial Hospital. Once an English teacher, Kevin has been practicing speech therapy for nine years, six of those at SWMH. He says his profession dates back to the 1800s when elocutionists taught both dignitaries and ordinary people to speak properly. This was beautifully illustrated in the Academy Award-winning film The Kings Speech, in which therapist Lionel Logue worked with Britains King George VI to help him overcome stuttering. Another well-known American elocutionist was Alexander Graham Bell.
As the profession became more formalized, the American Academy of Speech Correction was formed in 1925 and subsequently became the American Speech Language Hearing Association in 1978. The organization currently has more than 150,000 members in the United States and internationally. Speech-language pathologists work in hospitals, long-term care facilities, home health agencies, in schools, in private practices and in academia. Kevin, in this role at SWMH, assesses and treats patients when they are hospitalized and also on an outpatient basis.
Kevin sees patients with a variety of medical problems in the hospital setting, including those who have suffered a stroke. An individual who has had a stroke may have cognitive or language impairment, making it difficult or impossible for them to communicate with doctors, nurses, and family members. Kevins role is to evaluate the patient and determine what types of therapy will be needed once the acute phase of the illness is under control. He also assesses a patients ability to swallow safely, a common problem with stroke patients. Swallowing problems also occur in individuals with other types of medical issues including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD.
There are sometimes age-related swallowing problems that must be addressed as well, Kevin said.
In the hospital setting, I determine whats changed from an individuals baseline, Kevin said. Then I tailor a program thats based on their needs.
Later, in either an outpatient setting at the hospital or sometimes in the home, Kevin works with patients and their caregivers to overcome language, speech, or swallowing deficits caused by a stroke or other medical event.
With swallowing issues, for example, once I determine whats safe for a patient, I teach them exercises and techniques and train family members and caregivers to make necessary accommodations, depending on what types of food textures and liquids a patient can manage, Kevin said.
When it comes to language rehabilitation, the process can be quite long and much of the work is done by patients with the support of their caregivers outside the hospital setting.
I give them exercises to work on word recall, basic communication, reading, writing, speech clarity the whole gamut, Kevin said. Its fairly involved and complex because language is brain-based and it takes a while for therapy to run its course and for patients to improve.
But they do improve if they take their rehabilitation efforts seriously.
Technology can play a role in this type of rehabilitation.
There are smart computer programs out there that help patients work independently on problem-solving, pattern recognition, and to improve their visuospatial functioning, Kevin said.
He can help patients and their caregivers set up this type of technology in their homes. This can be a very cost-effective form of therapy for patients who are able to work on their own, he added.
The caregiver is so important because an illness or a stroke never affects only the patient, Kevin said. Providing education and support and teaching families how to help is an important part of what speech pathologists do.
On an outpatient basis, Kevin frequently works with children who are not progressing normally with language or who have specific issues such as stuttering or other speech deficits.
The intention is to identify these children early and get them into services that will help them develop normally, Kevin said. If you wait too long it can impact their education.
Fortunately, the local school system also has speech pathologists on staff who are trained to identify and intervene when children need support with speech and language development.
Interestingly, its not uncommon for parents to be concerned about a childs speech development simply because theyre comparing their child to other children, Kevin said. In some cases, I need only to reassure parents that their child is within the normal range in terms of developing speech.
Kevin works under the direction of area physicians who refer their patients for evaluation and treatment.
Working in our rural area, I get to be a generalist and see a little bit of everything, he said.
He works with individuals who have traumatic brain injuries, autism, voice disorders, development disorders, fluency disorders, Parkinsonism and a wide variety of neurologic disorders.
The length of therapy varies dramatically, depending on the issue at hand.
Swallowing disorders can often be dealt with fairly quickly, Kevin said. Sometimes its just a matter of education.
Other conditions, such as traumatic brain injury, may involve a lifetime of ongoing work on the part of the patient and caregivers. For stroke patients, the amount of rehab needed depends on the severity of the stroke and the motivation of the patient.
This article has focused on speech and language disorders and treatment. Hearing is the other side of the communication coin, and there are several local audiologists available to help patients with hearing problems. Check the local yellow pages or contact Kevin at 564-2154 about finding a hearing professional in our area.

|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- "Although I did feel a bit like a relapsing addict as I sat down to write - the words poured from my pen with frightening ease - I am NOT working on a prequel. Indeed, I've written that clearly at the bottom of the card itself. I just thought that this was the best way to make money for two extremely worthwhile charities."
- —J. K. Rowling[src]
The Harry Potter Prequel is an 800-word story written by J. K. Rowling, and was published online on June 11th, 2008. Set three years before the birth of Harry Potter, the story recounts an adventure had by Sirius Black and James Potter.
Plot synopsisEdit
Policemen PC Anderson and Sergeant Fisher are chasing a motorbike which is breaking the speed limit into a dead-end alley. They confront the two youths riding the bike, who introduce themselves as Sirius Black and James Potter. As the policemen attempt to arrest them for speeding and riding without helmets, three men (presumably Death Eaters) on broomsticks fly down the alley towards them. James and Sirius use their wands to lift the police car up to form a barrier, and the broomstick riders crash into it. Sirius and James then leave the frightened policemen in the alley.
From Rowling's explicit cautionary words, it seems that readers' curiosity about what Sirius and James were about to do and who their opponents were is doomed to remain unanswered.
J.K. Rowling announced on May 28, 2008 that she was writing a prequel story for English PEN, the writers' association, and the Dyslexia Society. The story, handwritten on a card, would then be auctioned off alongside similar cards from other authors on June 11th 2008, with the proceeds going to charity. A book of facsimiles was published in August 2008, allowing fans to own and read the story. As of 2009 the story is no longer officially available online.
The story was one of three Harry Potter writing projects undertaken by Rowling after the publication of the final book, along with The Tales of Beedle the Bard and a yet-to-be-published Harry Potter Encyclopedia project.
- Anderson (First appearance)
- Fisher (First appearance)
- Fisher's daughter (First mentioned)
- James Potter (First appearance, chronologically)
- Sirius Black (First appearance, chronologically)
- Unidentified guitarist (First mentioned)
- Three unidentified attackers
- Unnamed city (possibly London)
Notes and referencesEdit
- Sirius and James appear to be in their late teens to the policemen. The story itself is undated with no direct reference to established events, but is said to take place about three years prior to the birth of Harry Potter, thus setting it in 1977.
- Both are wearing "T-shirts emblazoned with a large golden bird". This could be a reference to the Order of the Phoenix or it could be a Golden Snitch .
- When the policemen ask for their names, Sirius gives him three apparently random names: Wilberforce, Bathsheba and Elvendork. The middle name may be a reference to Hogwarts professor Bathsheba Babbling.
- Additionally, the three names given may be the ones of their pursuers, as Sirius might have thought that the policeman was asking for their pursuers' name, but then corrected himself by giving their own names.
- The boys' motorcycle is likely the same one Rubeus Hagrid later borrows from Sirius following James' death in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
- The reason for the three individuals on broomsticks chasing the two is not made clear. The boys' use of magic to defend themselves in front of Muggles may have been a violation of rules set out by the Improper Use of Magic Office. However, as they are seventeen, they have not have violated the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery.

The thing is that Singapore has a lot of expatriate workers. Enough to drive an entire housing market all by themselves. I think the number of permanent residents + foreigners in Singapore is more than 50% of the citizen count...
About 37% of the US rents rather than owns. It tends to decrease with age (~50% under 30, ~8% over 60). There is not a significant difference between males and females (~22% male versus 26% female), however that number cuts more than in half for married couples, is somewhere between for single parents, and is even lower for parents with kids.
So family is the single biggest factor for purchasing, but the trend has been for later marriage and child rearing, so the demographics are probably somewhat in flux.

October 09, 2018Reviewer: Robert in Rhode Island* Super fast shipping! 1st time buying from Netrition and definitely not the last.This review is specific to Ultramet, Strawberry
August 21, 2017Reviewer: bob in South Carolina* I have used this product for many years....the chocolate flavor is by far the best. Just make sure to use a hand mixer or blender to prevent clumping of the powder, and cold water and ice. Tastes like cake batter....
July 21, 2017Reviewer: Dave in Ohio* I'm hooked on Ultramet for my breakfast shake - have been for years! Add fruit, Ice, some skim milk and you have the best shake around...yum!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMay 11, 2012Reviewer: JOSEPH in New York* I was thrilled to find Ultramet as a replacement after i learned a different proteins contained toxic metals: Some protein shakes contain trace amounts of heavy metals that may have potential health risks. These metals include arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury that can negatively affect the health of certain body organs. Know that Ultramet is a great replacement. It tastes real good and has everything in it.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJanuary 05, 2012Reviewer: Laurence in Washington* I have been using Ultramet for over 10 years as a meal replacement. I used Chocolate for many years and loved the flavor and consistency, not to mention the health benefits and weight control. By accident I ordered Strawberry and found that if I added about a 1/3 cup of blueberries it was fantastic!! I use a hand-held blender, mix with 10oz. of ice water, 4-5 ice cubes and the blueberries....some days I have two!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulMarch 21, 2010Reviewer: Shannon in Missouri* Best protein shake I have ever used - far superior taste and consistency to any I have tried. I mix with 8oz water, 8oz skim milk and some ice in a blender (sometimes add a spoon of peanut butter) and it makes a shake as good as any retail store. Been using for years as a breakfast-replacement. Only downside - you MUST use a blender. This shake is fantastic in a good blender, but will not work with a shaker.This review is specific to Ultramet, Chocolate
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulJuly 02, 2009Reviewer: A customer in Canada* Good, though it contains aspartame which is a huge letdown for me personally...This review is specific to Ultramet, Chocolate
May 19, 2009Reviewer: Keith in North Carolina* My trainer turned me onto Ultramet a few years ago, and I must say, I think it is by far my favorite. I drink the chocolate, as it is my favorite, and it is absolutely delicious. Also, I love the fact that there are fat burning agents in the product as well. I did a 6 meal per day diet (two of which were Ultramet shakes), morning cardio, evening weight training and cardio and lost 21 lbs. in 3 months and over 5% body fat. All told, I gained muscle mass while reducing my body fat content. I definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking to do the same.
July 30, 2008Reviewer: Eric in Pennsylvania* Excellent taste and great meal replacement. I have been using protein supplements for years and have tried several different companies and flavors. Ultramet is the best. I am sticking with Champion Nutrition products.This review is specific to Ultramet, Chocolate
June 12, 2008Reviewer: John in Virginia* Good taste, blends well, consistenly good quality.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulApril 01, 2008Reviewer: Vinal in Maine* Many years of use with this. Outstanding supplement, I add Pro Score chocolate protein powder daily. Great tasting, not too sweet like some others, mixes well in a blender, no cramping, you could live on this stuff...This review is specific to Ultramet, Chocolate
March 11, 2008Reviewer: michael in Missouri* Best protein shake that I have used. Chocolate is the best, and you need a blender and ice to make it best. Makes a shake like you would get at the gym.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpfulAugust 18, 2007Reviewer: Gordon in Massachusetts* Ultramet could be the perfect food! I swear by it, great taste combined with optimal nutritional balance makes this a terrific supplement. Add one cup of water per pack, some peanut butter and chill for an awesome pudding. Warning - Ultramet puddings can be addictive!
July 30, 2007Reviewer: Sam* This is great stuff! low in calories high in taste! I mean even the texture is good, it actually tastes like a shake. I recommend you use a blender with this though, and also use cold water. I look forward to drinking this everyday.
April 03, 2007Reviewer: David in North Carolina* Great product! Mixes very easily using a blender and tastes great without a sweet, sugar taste. I usually mix mine with one scoop of chocolate protein powder for some added punch and think that it's the best meal replacement out there. If you're looking for a meal replacement without the sweet taste (like cake batter) but yet still tastes excellent, then this product is for you. I usually drink one per day and would highly recommend!
March 27, 2007Reviewer: john in Massachusetts* Has lots of protein, little calories. Blend with a banana for great breakfast.

Family: Pinaceae
Extraction: Distilled from needles. The odor is fresh, soft, forestlike.
Medicinal Action: Fir soothes muscle and rheumatism pain, increases poor circulation, inhibits bronchial, genital and urinary infections, and reduces asthma and coughing.
Cosmetic/Skin Use: Sometimes used for skin infections.
Emotional Attribute: Fir combines the senses of being grounded and elevated. It increases intuition, and releases energy and emotional blocks.
Associated Oils:
Canadian Balsam (A. balsamea) --The oil, distilled from the oleoresin, is sweet and balsamy with a distinct Christmas-tree smell, making it one of the favorites of all firs. The tree grows and is distilled in North America.
Siberian Fir (A. siberica) --This carries an especially invigorating fir scent.
Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) --Often sold as fir, the hemlock tree is sometimes confused with the poison hemlock (Conium maculatum), which Socrates was compelled to drink.
Pine (Pinus species) --Pine, especially Scotch pine (P. sylvestris), is used in cleaning solutions, European bath preparations (it increases circulation) and liniments. Apathy and anxiety are replaced by peacefulness and invigoration when pine's sharp fragrance is sniffed. According to Dr. Daniel Penoel, pine-especially P. sylvestris-is used to treat male impotency.
Black Spruce (Picea mariana) --The stimulating, fresh scent treats muscle spasms, adrenal insufficiency and fatigue.
Terebinth (P. palustris, etc.) --This is turpentine, or resin from pine sap. For medicinal use, a much higher grade than paint thinner is used to treat body parasites and infections, and as a disinfectant. It is sometimes called "pitch pine."

Andy's Place
342 Cypress St., Manchester
Tuesday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Saturday, 6 a.m. to noon
For one year, Andy's Place sat vacant. Inside, its diner-style booths were empty, its laminated menus unused. Outside, a sign on the door explained why: owner James Wilcox had died of a heart attack and the restaurant was closed.
Many of the diner's regulars were upset by the news, but perhaps none more so than Sarah Smith and Adeel Tahir. The building was up for auction, and they were hearing rumors that other potential buyers were looking to renovate for use as a laundromat or dealership. One bidding war, $250,000 and a month of renovations later, Smith and Tahir re-opened Andy's Place in May.
Built in 1910 as a train station, a patchwork of owners eventually turned it into a restaurant, passed down over the years until it was bought by Andy Statires in 1995, then sold to Wilcox, one of his cooks, around 2000.
"We came in once per week, just because it was a great diner with good food and the waitresses were always amazing," Smith said. "We weren't looking to change it."
Waitress Lisa Meisel, who was hired by Statires back in 1995, found work elsewhere during the year-long interim.
"When I heard about the auction, I was wondering what happened," she said. "And then I got a phone call from Sarah."
Smith took Meisel out to lunch — it was her and Tahir's first venture in the restaurant business, and they figured the more they could learn from past employees, the better. Andy's was already a hot spot in the community, Meisel told them, and the regulars would return in an instant.
"She was part of the building," Smith said of Meisel.
On opening day, after the ribbon-cutting with Mayor Ted Gatsas, there were no vacant seats, and Tahir and Smith were greeted with hugs, kisses and handshakes.
"We're bringing in new regulars who were attracted to this place just like we were," Tahir said.
Continuing with tradition, they source from nearby, bringing in coffee from Concord and local eggs and meats from around New Hampshire. Tahir said the new management plans to add an outdoor, seasonal seating area with picnic tables, as well as more dishes on the menu, plus some special menu items for city workers and nearby Elliot Hospital.
Meisel, after taking another order from the booths, said that the menu has stayed similar to what it has been: simple diner food, on two pages, half lunch and half breakfast. Jimmy Cakes, named for the previous owner, are popular. They're two poached eggs with bacon and cheddar atop potato cakes. Sarah's secret recipe for meatloaf is a special Andy's runs regularly.
"It was one of the reasons we wanted to open — Adeel liked my cooking, so it's a place I can try some of it out," Smith said. "Of course I've been handling every aspect since we opened — dish washing, busing, all sorts of things, but it's worth it."
Already, they're getting to know the community.
"These women come in every Wednesday," Smith said, waving goodbye to a dozen seniors.

DEKALB — Drew Hill's ascension to Rochester High School's No. 1 receiver was meteoric indeed.
Hill, a senior, was the Rockets' leading target this season for quarterback Robbie Kelley. After catching one pass for 12 yards in Friday's 16-8 Class 4A state title game victory over Geneseo, Hill finished with 61 passes for 994 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Last year, Hill was a defense-only player who didn't catch a single pass. And Rochester coach Derek Leonard said Hill hadn't been in the plans at the start of the offseason.
"At the beginning of the year, we kind of give everyone a chance," Leonard said before Friday's game. "He was not a starter going into our 7-on-7s. He was probably the fifth or sixth guy . . . but he did so good in our 7-on-7s, he kept making play after play.
"Even at the beginning of the season, we kind of slowed him into it, and when we went to a three-receiver set, he was sort of our fourth guy and we'd keep him out."
Taking the torch from Blake Pasley, who carried it after Zach Grant's graduation, still doesn't fully seem real to Hill.
"He told me to play catch with Robbie one day and I thought, 'OK. I'm not going to argue with that' and it just went uphill from there," Hill said.
"He puts his best receivers in big spots, and it's an honor. It feels great to know Coach has that much trust in me."
Big-time scoring
Heading into the 4A title game, Rochester hadn't scored fewer than 40 points in any playoff game since winning the 2010 4A final 24-7 over Rock Island Alleman.
The Rockets were held to fewer than 40 twice in 2010 (the other being a 23-21 quarterfinal win over Quincy Notre Dame) but scored more than 40 in each of their four playoff games in 2009.
Early exit
Staunton coach Mike Parmentier said his team absorbed plenty of hits from a physical Sterling Newman team in the Bulldogs' 40-13 loss Friday, although the only player who had to leave due to injury was senior lineman Quinten Brown.
Brown hurt his right ankle on the next-to-last play of Staunton's 14-play, 71-yard scoring drive in the first quarter. Parmentier said it was uncertain if Brown's ankle was broken.
"There was just a pile, and my foot was planted and somebody rolled over it," Brown said, "I felt a pop in there. I can barely move it.
"They were strong up front. They probably live in the weight room, the way they manhandled us. It was hard. Physically, they were the toughest we've played."
No titles for SCC
Staunton's appearance in Friday's 2A title game marked the fifth time for a South Central Conference team in the big game. But the league is still looking for a championship.
Carlinville and Gillespie both have made two title-game appearances. The Miners fell to Fulton 8-0 in overtime in Class 2A in 1976, and they lost to Seneca 34-8 in 2A in 1990.
The Cavaliers lost to Stockton 9-0 in Class 2A in 1978, and they fell to Coal City 20-6 in the 2A game in 1993.

Daphne Patai is a professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. Her B.A. (from Indiana University) was in Comparative Literature, and her Ph.D. (University of Wisconsin, Madison) was in Portuguese. She teaches and writes about Brazilian literature and film, translation studies, utopian film and fiction, literary theory, oral history, feminism and women's studies, and problems in higher education.
She is the author and editor of over a dozen books, among them: Myth and Ideology in Contemporary Brazilian Literature (1983); The Orwell Mystique: A Study in Male Ideology (1984), Brazilian Women Speak: Contemporary Life Stories (1988); Women's Words: The Feminist Practice of Oral History (1991, co-edited with Sherna Berger Gluck); Rediscovering Forgotten Radicals: British Women Writers 1889-1939 (1993, co-edited with Angela Ingram); and Heterophobia: Sexual Harassment and the Future of Feminism (1998).
Her ten years with a joint appointment in women's studies led to her 1994 book Professing Feminism, written with Noretta Koertge, which was reissued in a new and expanded edition in 2003 as Professing Feminism: Education and Indoctrination in Women's Studies.
Together with Will H. Corral, Patai edited a large volume of essays entitledTheory's Empire: An Anthology of Dissent (Columbia University Press, 2005), which brings together the work of fifty scholars critical of contemporary theory fads. A volume of Patai's own essays, entitled 'What Price Utopia?' : Essays on Ideological Policing, Feminism, and Academic Affairs, was published in 2008 (Rowman & Littlefield). A selection of her essays was recently published in Brazil as História Oral, Feminismo e Política (Letra e Voz, 2010).
Long concerned about the attack on free speech on American campuses, Patai has been involved with FIRE (The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education; see thefire.org ) since its inception in 1999 and serves on its Board of Directors. Her articles on these and other problems in higher education have appeared in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Minding the Campus, and other print and online publications.
Patai is the recipient of research fellowships from the NEH, the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and the National Humanities Center, and is on leave for the academic year 2011-2012, with a Samuel F. Conti Faculty Fellowship.

This Guy Was Experiencing Ear Pain. When I Saw The Issue, I Was Mortified

They say the average person eats half a dozen insects each year. That's gross enough, but when I saw what was inside this guy's ear, I seriously wanted to wrap my head in saran wrap.
A word of warning, there is some strong language used in this video. That being said, once you watch this video you'll probably agree that this is one of those few situations where it might be appropriate.

Growing mustaches, growing awareness
SJU hockey team hopes to get people talking about men's health issues during 'Movember'
November 26, 2012
By Mike Killeen
Things are getting a little hairy for the Saint John's University hockey team these days.
Don't worry, it has nothing to do with the Johnnies' performance on the ice. Many SJU players and coaches are growing mustaches and beards during November to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer.
During "Movember," men around the world sprout mustaches during the 30 days of the month. These men, known as Mo Bros, effectively become talking billboards, prompting conversation about the often-ignored issue of men's health.
For the Johnnies, the issue has hit close to home.
Assistant coach Pat Forte is battling thymic carcinold. Senior forward Jascha Pettit lost his father, Jeff, to pancreatic cancer in February, and former junior varsity player Ryan Heaton lost his father, Kevin, to renal cell carcinoma in May.
"People notice (the facial hair) at the games, and everyone is asking, 'What are you doing with the mustaches?' " said Pettit, who led the MIAC with 14 goals last season and has five points in six games this season. "The guys (on the team) just kind of picked up on it, and thought it was something to try and get people aware of."
"I see other students asking the players why they are growing mustaches," said Heaton, a sophomore from Clearwater, Minn. "Once the players tell them why they are doing it, they generally react with a positive response, almost in awe. Then, that person might go and tell other students about what the hockey team is doing, and it creates widespread effect."
For someone like Forte, the gesture is greatly appreciated.
"When you're fighting a disease like this, it's definitely a team thing. Everyone has to be involved, whether it's the people that support you or pray for you," Forte said. "I think being involved helps everyone, when they feel like they're helping the cause. It makes them feel good about themselves, and ultimately that's important."
SJU head coach Doug Schueller said individual players had participated in Movember activities in the past, but never the entire team. Last season, he noticed that the University of Wisconsin-Stout hockey team had grown mustaches as a fund-raising effort with the school's basketball team, and considered doing it with the Johnnies this season.
"Having gone through all the stuff with the Pettits and the Heatons and Coach Forte, it just makes sense to try and build awareness," said Schueller, who is growing a stylin' Fu Manchu mustache.
"It was a heartwarming surprise when Doug Schueller told me that they were participating in Movember as a team with their main motivation being in memory of my father as well as in memory of Jascha Pettit's father," Heaton said. "I am not surprised that they are doing this to raise awareness about men's health issues, because I know the coaching staff and players care a lot about this topic and I'm sure the team has been looking for ways to help out in any way they can."
Pettit, who has a full beard, says the facial hair brings "laughter" to people, and "lightens the mood talking about things" like men's health.
"You think about people that you remember who may have passed," said Pettit, from Wadena, Minn. "You're doing something in memory of them, and the awareness of the struggles they went through."
"All these guys on our team are going to be affected by this eventually," Forte said. "They're going to lose a loved one, or get it themselves. That's just the reality of it. I just think it's great what they're doing."
Schueller said the team has raised over $1,000 as of Nov. 26, with proceeds going to the Prostate Cancer Foundation . He isn't sure how many of his players will keep their facial hair.
"Part of the Movember thing is that they have shave parties at the end of the month, so they all get together and they shave their mustaches together," Schueller said. "We may do something like that - a little celebration at the end of Movember.
"You never know - one of these guys might think they look good with a mustache, and might keep it for the rest of their lives," Schueller added, smiling.
You can support the Johnnies in their efforts by donating at the Movember and Sons website.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
TAMPA, Fla. - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today that a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida awarded $2.2 million to Dena Zechella, a former employee of Outback Steakhouse. The jury found that Outback paid Zechella - a female - considerably less than a similarly situated male employee who performed the same job duties. The jury also found that Outback had subjected Zechella to different terms and conditions of employment because of her sex and terminated her in retaliation for having complained about the discriminatory treatment.
The jury awarded Zechella $64,000 in back wages, $50,000 in compensatory damages for her emotional pain and suffering, and $2.1 million in punitive damages after concluding that Outback had acted with malice and reckless indifference to Zechella's federally protected rights.
Outback hired Zechella in February of 1995 as a Site Development Assistant for the company's Construction Department located in Tampa, Fla. As the company's chain of restaurants began to grow, so did Zechella's job responsibilities; Outback charged Zechella with responsibility for assisting the Construction Department with the acquisition and development of approximately 100 new restaurant sites each year.
In November 1996, Outback hired a male - with no background or experience in the construction industry - to perform the same job functions as Zechella. After Zechella had personally trained the new male employee to perform in the job, Outback transferred almost all of Zechella's primary job functions to him. When Zechella complained, Outback transferred her to a clerical position.
Zechella later realized that Outback hired the male employee whom she had trained at almost twice her salary. When Zechella complained again, Outback's CEO promised to resolve the situation by the time she returned from vacation. When Zechella returned from vacation, however, Outback summarily terminated her employment. The company also refused to give Zechella her last paycheck until she signed a release. Zechella refused to sign the release and, instead, filed her charge with the EEOC.
"The jury's decision and award in this case reaffirm the principle that gender-based pay discrimination and unlawful retaliation in the workplace cannot be tolerated," said EEOC Chair Cari Dominguez. "EEOC is firmly committed to continued vigorous enforcement of the federal civil rights laws. I urge all employers to take proactive steps to evaluate their employment policies and practices and to eliminate any and all barriers in the workplace that deprive women of the freedom to compete in the workplace and to achieve their fullest potential."
"The EEOC is pleased with the jury's decision," said Delner Franklin-Thomas, Regional Attorney for the EEOC's Miami District Office, which litigated the case. "The $2.2 million jury verdict sends a strong message to Outback and all employers nationally that loyalty to the Old Boys Club' cannot serve to justify employment decisions which favor males at the expense of female employees," she said.
Miami District Director Federico Costales commented that "the EEOC takes a very strong stance against employers who retaliate against their employees for exercising their right to complain of discrimination. Ms. Zechella's termination violated the very cornerstone of the Act the individual's right to seek redress of employment disputes through the EEOC."
The EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, which prohibits discrimination against individuals 40 years of age and older; sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local government; and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in federal government employment. More information about the Commission is available on the agency's Web site at www.eeoc.gov.

As I was looking at the board this morning, I saw John Grant's posting of McDonald's cards and was surprised/shocked to see 2 new Colorado cards listed - there has been no TV advertising of the cards/promotion. So I went chasing them this morning. I will sell them as they each have $5 on them. When you use them, you get a free medium fries as it explains on the back of the cards. At this time, I will sell 1 of each only - not multiples. If interested you can pay me with the PayPal Gift option - total will be $11 which includes the 2 cards and shipping. If you can't use the Gift option, then add 65 cents for the PayPal fee. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com - and use that address for the PayPal payment. I will need your mailing address. Email me if you have any questions.

I've made my first novel, Ventus, available as a free download, as well as excerpts from two of the Virga books. I am looking forward to putting up a number of short stories in the near future.
To celebrate the August, 2007 publication of Queen of Candesce, I decided to re-release my first novel as an eBook. You can download it from this page. Ventus was first published by Tor Books in 2000, and and you can still buy it; to everyone who would just like to sample my work, I hope you enjoy this version.
I've released this book under a Creative Commons license, which means you can read it and distribute it freely, but not make derivative works or sell it.
I've made large tracts of these two Virga books available. If you want to find out what the Virga universe is all about, you can check it out here:
In spring 2005, the Directorate of Land Strategic Concepts of National Defense Canada (that is to say, the army) hired me to write a dramatized future military scenario. The book-length work, Crisis in Zefra, was set in a mythical African city-state, about 20 years in the future, and concerned a group of Canadian peacekeepers who are trying to ready the city for its first democratic vote while fighting an insurgency. The project ran to 27,000 words and was published by the army as a bound paperback book.
If you'd like to read Crisis in Zefra, you can download it in PDF form.

Derek Benner contributed the Sony and FBReader versions.]

Ventus is a novel of information apocalypse set in the far future. For a thousand years the sovereign Winds have maintained the delicate ecological balance of the terraformed planet Ventus. Now an alien force threatens to wrest control of the terraforming system away from the Winds...
Jordan Mason, a young tradesman, is thrust into the midst of an ancient galactic conflict when he becomes the only human on Ventus who can locate the source of the alien threat. But will he side with the Winds, who have brutally suppressed technological development among the human colonists of Ventus? Or will he throw in his lot with an entity that may be planning to remake Ventus in its own, deathly image? Ventus incorporates ideas about nanotechnology, terraforming, and information theory in an epic tale of war, tragic love, betrayal and transcendence.
You can read Ventus in the following formats:

"Science fiction at its best."
--Kim Stanley Robinson
"Lean and hugely engaging ... and highly recommended."
--Open Letters Monthly, an Arts and Literature Review
(Sun of Suns and Queen of Candesce are combined in Cities of the Air)
"An adventure-filled tale of sword
fights and naval battles... the real fun of this coming-of-age tale includes a
pirate treasure hunt and grand scale naval invasions set in the cold, far
reaches of space. "
—Kirkus Reviews (listed in top 10 SF novels for 2006)
"With Queen of Candesce, [Schroeder] has achieved a clockwork balance of deftly paced adventure and humour, set against an intriguing and unique vision of humanity's far future.
--The Globe and Mail
"[Pirate Sun] is fun in the same league as the best SF ever has had to offer, fully as exciting and full of cool science as work from the golden age of SF, but with characterization and plot layering equal to the scrutiny of critical appraisers."
"...A rollicking good read... fun, bookish, and full of insane air battles"
"A grand flying-pirate-ship-chases-and-escapes-and-meetings-with-monsters adventure, and it ends not with a debate or a seminar but with a gigantic zero-gee battle around Candesce, a climactic unmasking and showdown, just desserts, and other satisfying stuff."

Beautiful wild Coho salmon has been coming in to my local market in Hotchkiss and as usual, I bought too much. I decided to can the leftover salmon and was thrilled with the results. Home canned salmon is tender and moist, with no fishy taste. It's really a great product to preserve and have on hand.
Canning salmon, and any other fish for that matter, is different from canning tuna. (All fish must be pressure canned.) With salmon, you do not add any liquid. The salmon extrudes quite a bit of water during processing, as well as rich fat. If you topped off your jars with oil or water, your seals would fail. Some recipes call for a bringing stage, but that's for flavor, not safety. I prefer to add a ½ teaspoon or so of salt to my jars, and then process as usual. You can also lightly smoke salmon before canning it: the method is the same as putting up the raw fish. I am going to be teaching a class at the Brooklyn Kitchen in NYC this fall on canning salmon, and demonstrating a few unusual recipes for using it. http://www.thebrooklynkitchen.com/

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month:
From the web site www.breastcancer.org:
Breast cancer symptoms vary widely — from lumps to swelling to skin changes — and many breast cancers have no obvious symptoms at all. Symptoms that are similar to those of breast cancer may be the result of non-cancerous conditions like infection or a cyst.
Breast self-exam should be part of your monthly health care routine, and you should visit your doctor if you experience breast changes. If you're over 40 or at a high risk for the disease, you should also have an annual mammogram and physical exam by a doctor. The earlier breast cancer is found and diagnosed, the better your chances of beating it.
The actual process of diagnosis can take weeks and involve many different kinds of tests. Waiting for results can feel like a lifetime. The uncertainty stinks. But once you understand your own unique "big picture,†you can make better decisions. You and your doctors can formulate a treatment plan tailored just for you.
In the following pages of the Symptoms and Diagnosis section, you can learn about:
- Understanding Breast Cancer
- How breast cancer happens, how it progresses, the stages, and a look at risk factors.
- Screening and Testing
- The tests used for screening, diagnosis, and monitoring, including mammograms, ultrasound, MRI, CAT scans, PET scans, and more.
- Types of Breast Cancer
- The different types of breast cancer, including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), inflammatory breast cancer, male breast cancer, recurrent breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer, and more.
- Your Diagnosis
- The characteristics of the cancer — featured on your pathology report — that might affect your treatment plan, including size, stage, lymph node status, hormone receptor status, and more.
To schedule a mamogram, contact the Box Butte General Hospital radiology department at 762-6660.

Every year, visiting scholars from all over the world come to campus to share their research, knowledge and international perspectives on a wide range of subjects related to French and Francophone Studies.
Spring 2017
This semester, our Program is holding The Leanne Freas Trout French & Francophone Lecture Series on "Learning to be French: Education and Identity in Modern and Contemporary France" in accordance with the 300-level course currently being taught by Professor John Westbrook (FREN 370).
Rebecca Rogers "Expanding Women's Horizons Education and Empire in 19th-century France".
Monday, Feb. 27, 5 p.m. refreshments, 5:30 p.m. talk, at the Gallery Theatre (LC) || Event Poster
Rebecca Rogers is professor of history of education (Université Paris Descartes, Sorbonne Paris Cité). She is the author of From the Salon to the Schoolroom; Educating Bourgeois Girls in 19th-Century France (The Penn State University Press, 2005), A Frenchwoman's Imperial Story: Madame Luce in 19th-Century Algeria (Stanford University Press, 213).
In this talk Rebecca Rogers argues for the ways women participated in French colonization well before the end of the 19th century. In particular, she draws on the material of her book about Madame Luce to offer new insights into the history of colonial Algeria. Luce's life story reveals how girls' education and female artisanal training were part of the French "civilizing mission" from the early years. Recovering this history raises issues not only about the place of women in Empire but also about the gendering of historical memory.
This presentation is generously sponsored by the University Lectureship Committee, the French & Francophone Studies Program, the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity & Gender, and the Department of History.
Fall 2016
The French & Francophone Studies Program invites you to its first Dîner en blanc, a Parisian "pop up" dinner tradition whereby participants—dressed in white—bring their own tables, chairs, and picnics to a "secret" location (disclosed via social media) at the last minute. Our Bucknell adaptation provides tables, chairs, white tablecloths and "elegant finger foods." Students of French and "amis francophiles" simply show up dressed in white for an evening of food, drink and conversation.
Thursday, Sept. 8, 2016, 5 - 7 p.m.
RSVP by Friday, Aug. 26 to your fall '16 French professor (or to Madame Gosson if you're taking French next semester) with an email address where we can reach you to disclose the "secret location."
Spring 2016
Mommy (This screening is presented in conjunction with Professor Nathalie Dupont's Introduction to French Cinema course.)
Xavier Dolan (Québec/Canada, 2014). 139 min. DCP. With Anne Dorval, Antoine-Olivier Pilon, Suzanne Clément. In French with English subtitles.
Québécois wunderkind Xavier Dolan (at age 25 he's already made five prizewinning features) weaves the story of a passionate widowed single mom (Dorval) who finds herself burdened with the full-time custody of her volatile 15-year-old hellraiser son (Pilon). As they struggle to make ends meet, the peculiar new neighbor across the street offers her help. Daringly shot in a 1:1 ratio that mimics the aesthetics of Instagram, Mommy was the co-winner of the prestigious Jury Prize at Cannes. This screening is presented in conjunction with Professor Nathalie Dupont's Introduction to French Cinema course.
Monday, April 25, 7:10 p.m., Campus Theatre
Panel Discussion of Approaches to Teaching Medieval Literature in a Liberal Arts Context (Sponsored by the University Lectureship Committee, the French & Francophone Studies Program, the Department of Art & Art History, the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity & Gender, and the Department of English.)
Please join us for a panel discussion of approaches to teaching medieval literature in a liberal arts context. Invited speakers Deborah McGrady (University of Virginia) and Christine Reno (Vassar College) will present remarks focused on one of France's first female authors, Christine de Pizan, and on a number of techniques they have developed in sparking student interest and learning when it comes to subjects from past centuries. Refreshments will be served.
Thursday, April 21, 5 - 6:30 p.m in Willard Smith Library
Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai Du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (An event co-sponsored by Bucknell's Programs in French & Francophone Studies and Women's and Gender Studies, and the Center for the Study of Race, Ethnicity & Gender.)
Chantal Akerman (Belgium/France, 1975). 201 min. 35 MM. With Delphine Seyrig, Jan Decorte, Henri Storck. In French with English subtitles.
A singular work in film history, Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman meticulously details, with a sense of impending doom, the daily routine of a middle-aged widow whose chores include making the beds, cooking dinner for her son, and turning the occasional trick. Made when the artist was only twenty-five years old, the movie can be seen as an exacting character study, as one of cinema's most hypnotic and complete depictions of space and time and–as it was hailed by feminist critics when it came out–as an impressive alternative to well-intentioned but conventional political documentaries and features.
Tuesday, April 19, 7 p.m., Campus Theatre
Angèle Kingué's Venus Of Khala-Kanti: A Celebration
Tuesday, April 12, noon and 4 p.m.
12:00-1:00 pm: A Choreo-Novel Presentation of Venus of Khala-Kanti in Tustin Theater
4:00-5:30 pm: Cocktail and remarks in the lobby of the Weis Center in honor of Angèle Kingué's many contributions and accomplishments
The 400 Blows (This screening is presented in conjunction with Professor Nathalie Dupont's Introduction to French Cinema course.)
François Truffaut (France 1959). 99 min. 35 MM. With Jean-Pierre Léaud, Claire Maurier, Albert Rémy. French with English subtitles.
François Truffaut's first feature is also his most personal. Told through the eyes of the director's cinematic counterpart, Antoine Doinel (Léaud), The 400 Blows sensitively re-creates the trials of Truffaut's own childhood, unsentimentally portraying aloof parents, oppressive teachers, and petty crime. The film marked Truffaut's passage from leading critic to trailblazing auteur of the French New Wave.
Monday, March 7, 7:10 p.m., Campus Theatre

The other night Brade got a whisper from someone about recruiting. He advised this person what our current needs are – but also added in that we will always consider exceptional applicants. To which this person asked "what do you consider exceptional?". This was a very well-timed question, because Brade and I had just had a conversation about this very topic based on some commentary that I offered to someone and was worried that I had offended this person, so I had rehashed the conversation with Brade for his feedback. But the question from the app really got me thinking.
What is exceptional?
I think the definition of exceptional will likely vary from person to person and circumstance to circumstance. But in light of my recent conversation and the question posed by a potential recruit I thought that I'd give you some insight into how I view exceptional. I actually have some very firm beliefs on this, because as a player, exceptional is something that I strive towards every time I step into a raid. I also recognize that what I value as exceptional may not weigh the same way for someone else – and that's fine. This is merely a look at my philosophy and how I approach the game.
WoW According to Beru (or something like that…)
I believe that there are many great players in WoW. Players that never make a mistake, rarely mess up a boss mechanic, always seem to perform, and are knowledgable about their class. Players that almost every raid leader would love to have as part of their raid team. However, I also believe that there are very few exceptional players in WoW. They truly are rare, hidden treasures in a vast mine. Players that encompass all of the above…and then more. Players who look at the logs every night and look for the smallest things to improve in their performance, be it positioning or cooldown timing. Players who may rank second in the world on a fight and rather than be content that they kicked ass, ask themselves why they weren't first and what they could do better next time.
I believe that it is the small things that distinguish a great player from an exceptional one.
I, personally, strive to be an exceptional player. Sometimes I feel I am closer to that definition and others I feel I'm miles from it. But every night that I step into the raid, I try to bridge the gap between great and exceptional. I try to perform better than I did the night before. I try to push myself to every limit that I know – sometimes with more success than others. I think through encounters before I pull them, and I analyze them once we've killed them, all in an attempt to find that one edge I can get next time that I missed this time. I push myself to be competitive, and I thrive on the competition my team gives me. And even if that competition wasn't there, it doesn't matter, I am content to race the shadow of my last performance. If I'm not pushing myself to every limit that I have as a player, I am not happy with my performance.
I pretty firmly believe that there is always something that I could/should be doing better. I could have the performance of a lifetime, and I'd still look at it and ask myself what more I could have done to improve it. Because no matter how good you are, there is always room to grow. Always. And to think otherwise is doing a disservice to yourself. At least that's my take on it.
Well Beru, what exactly would you look for in an "exceptional" applicant?
Let's talk resto druids, since that's what I'm most comfortable with. There are basic things that I'd evaluate, and then there are the small things I'd look for that would make an applicant stand out for me.
The Basics would include things like:
- Gear choices – does the player know enough about the class to gear smartly for the gear they have available to them? Do they gem and enchant properly? Have they reforged well? Do they understand their stat priorities?
- Spec – does the player understand their class well enough to spec properly? Do they comment on spec choices that stray from what is generally considered "proper"?
- Haste Breakpoints – this really could go hand in hand with gear above, but does the player understand their haste breakpoints? Are they floating at some really bizarre number? Do they explain any oddness in their decisions?
- Raid Mechanics – does the player stay out of the bad? Do they live to the end of most encounters, or do they die with some frequency?
- Raid Performance – how does the player perform in their current group/setting? Are they strong? Do they utilize the proper spells for their given healing assignment? Do they follow their given assignment?
- UI – does it provide you all of the information that is required to do your job? Does it offer you the ability to be cognizant of raid mechanics while doing your job?
Beru…that's pretty comprehensive. Exactly what would you be looking for beyond that? I'm glad you asked! Let me give you some insight on what I'd look at that would really make an applicant stand out for me and push you towards exceptional!
Things that would make you stand out:
- Cooldown Usage – as a resto druid we have two three minute cooldowns. Let's say we have a 9.5 – 10 minute fight. I'd look to see if you maximized that cooldown. You should see at least 3 uses of both Tranquility and ToL in that time. When I perform, as I plan out how I'm going to heal the fight, I ask myself when are the best times to use these abilities and maximize the use of the abilities. If you didn't maximize it, I'd ask "why". The only real reason not to do so, in my opinion, is if there are very specific, set times in an encounter that you need them and you cannot line up the 3 minute cooldown with that need. However, often you can work it out so that you have the cooldown available when it's needed and still utilize it at other points where it would be beneficial to the raid.
- Innervate Usage – Again, looking at a 9.5-10 minute fight, you should be able to innervate at least three times. I'd look to see if you cast at least three innervates. It's my belief that if you aren't living on your innervates during progression content you could, and should, be doing more. For me, if I don't need my innervate in a progression push, I'm not doing everything that I can. If I don't end the fight less than 20% mana, I didn't do as much as I could have, and I would ask myself where I could have maximized my performance to require the use of all of my mana.
- Nature's Grace – In a 9.5 – 10 minute fight, this is something that we should see proc'd at least 8-9 times, depending on when you need some extra burst healing. The ability has a 1 minute cooldown, and can be activated every minute for extra haste that will push your over into your next WG/RJ/Eff breakpoints for extra ticks and can be very useful during burst periods of time. Timing and activating this ability is one of those small things to me. This is actually something I, personally, wasn't doing well with and wanted to improve on. As a result, I recently made changes to my UI to track both when it was active and when it would come off of cooldown because I felt it was important to maximize.
- Lifebloom/Harmony Uptime – This should be as close to 100% as possible, and anything below 80% uptime on either buff indicates significant room for improvement and likely a need for the player to have a better way to track these buffs. I would also take the encounter mechanics into account – so if there were times where there are healing down times where you are doing something else, it would be weighed in.
- Potion Usage – Did the player pot? Similarly to my thoughts on innervate, if you didn't need a mana pot on progression content you could, and should, have been doing more. If you don't need the mana, ask yourself what more you could have done so that you needed that pot.
- Trinkets, etc – If you are using an "on use" trinket, I'd look to see how many times you utilized the "on use" effect. It should be maximized and, depending on the effect, timed with damage flows or mana requirements. But we should see them used with frequency and not forgotten.
- Barkskin – Do you use this often? Is it something that is never cast? Someone who utilizes this ability shows that they understand that mitigating damage is just as good, if not better, than having to heal through it. And smart use of personal mitigation cooldowns is something that I find to be another of those small things that help to define exceptional.
So where do you feel you fall, Beru?
As I stated above, I try every raid to bridge the gap into exceptional. I do not feel that I achieve that goal every raid. I also stated that everyone always has room to improve. Always. I am far from exempt in this, and there are many things that I think I could step up in my game:
- I fail to use berserking with such regularity that I may as well not even have the ability. This is something that I need to fix, and I am currently working through ways to maximize the ability.
- I sometimes innervate late because I'm waiting for a Power Torrent proc and then get caught up in the fight and forget until the proc has come and gone and innervate far later than I should have as a result. I've gotten better at this, but it is still somewhere I have room for improvement.
- I could use Barkskin more. I am pretty good with it, but when I watch video playback of myself I take note that I'm not using it as often as I should at times.
- When things start to get hairy, I tend to do worse at staying out of the bad. Part of this is because I'm trying to drive the raid – but part of it is because I fail at prioritizing my performance in these key points and trusting that the raid will manage if I'm not at the back of boat yelling "STROKE!" for 30 seconds while I tend to myself. It's harder to do in practice than it is to acknowledge in writing and is one of my biggest weaknesses and area in need of the most improvement.
- When there is significant burst damage, I have a tendency to let LB and Harmony drop and do not get it refreshed timely. I'm still working on solving this with Harmony – but I have no good excuse for LB and it's something I need to remember to keep prioritized.
After each raid I go through our logs. I look not only at my output, but at my performance as a whole. I go through the list of things that I took notes on from the last raid and look to see if I improved on them. I look to see if there are things that I need to add to my list as areas for improvement. If there is something big that I know I made a mistake with, I take a note of it right after we've finished the fight so I don't forget.
Will I ever get to the point where I will feel that I permanently crossed the gap into exceptional? I'd be disappointed if I did, because then I likely wouldn't recognize that it's still something I should strive for every day.
What do you feel defines exceptional?

Please Note: There are several recipes listed on this page. Please scroll down the page, to find the recipe you are seeking. Thank you!
Cauliflower Steaks with Sweet Pepper Sauce
Makes 4 to 6 servings
2 small heads of cauliflower
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 yellow or sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon reduced-sodium tamari
1/4 cup filtered or spring water, divided, plus more as needed
2 cups cremini or white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 sweet red peppers, thinly sliced
1 green pepper, thinly sliced
2 cups jarred, low-fat marinara sauce
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Trim one to two inches off two opposite sides of the cauliflower heads and set aside for use another time. Steam the trimmed cauliflower heads for 12 to 18 minutes or until they are just crisp-tender. Cool for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the onions, Italian seasoning, tamari, and 2 tablespoons water in a large skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, adding more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes more. Add the peppers and 2 tablespoons water, and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and stir in 1 cup of the marinara. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes.
Spread 1 cup marinara sauce evenly in the bottom of a rimmed casserole that is large enough to accommodate the cauliflower steaks. Cut each cauliflower head down the center into two or three 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick slices, as if slicing a loaf of bread. Set the cauliflower slices in the prepared casserole. Top each cauliflower slice with one-quarter of the onion and pepper sauce. Cover and bake 25 to 35 minutes or until the cauliflower steaks are tender, but still firm. Uncover the casserole for the last 10 minutes of cooking time. Cool for 5 minutes. Serve with extra sauce on the side.
NOTE: For a completely oil-free recipe, use no-oil marinara sauce.
Creamy Cauliflower Soup
Makes 4 servings
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 cup vegetable broth, plus more as needed
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
Steam the cauliflower florets for about 20 minutes until tender. Put the florets, vegetable broth, almond milk, ground cumin, sea salt, and pepper in a blender and process until smooth. Add more broth or nondairy milk to achieve the desired consistency. Pour into a medium saucepan, cover and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until heated through. Serve piping hot.
NOTE: After the soup is blended it may be cooled thoroughly, packed in a tightly sealed container, and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To serve, pour into a medium saucepan, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, stirring often, until heated through.
Paprika Roasted Cauliflower
Makes 4 to 6 servings
1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
1 medium red or yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil (optional)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking pan with unbleached parchment paper. Put all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Spread the mixture in an even layer on the lined baking pan. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender but still holds its shape.

Kim Kardashian Has a Miscarriage Scare
Kim Kardashian needs to take it easy if she wants to keep her Kanye West spawn alive and well.
The mogul and reality staple recently had a miscarriage scare, and her docs are pointing the latex-gloved finger at her hectic schedule and workouts as the biggest risks to her pregnancy.
The New York Post reports that the four-months-along Kardashian spent Sunday (March 4) in Paris for Fashion Week with West, but was immediately escorted to her doctor's office in tears yesterday (March 6) when she got back to Los Angeles.
"Kim started feeling ill on the plane from Paris, and called friends as soon as she landed," a source said. "She was rushed to her doctor Tuesday night in tears. She thought she was having a miscarriage."
Kardashian wound up being fine and was released following a thorough checkup, but her docs are warning her to dial back the exercise and jetsetting to prevent any more issues.
"Kim's not respecting her pregnancy. She's running around, working out seven days a week," a source told the paper. "She's working with two different trainers to control her weight, including Tracy Anderson and a pregnancy trainer."
The source added, "She's scared that her ass is as big as a couch and is going south. But she is having a very rough pregnancy, and doctors have ordered her to slow down."

Fortuna Dusseldorf Stadium Germany
Fortuna Dusseldorf Stadium, Germany
At Fortuna Duesseldorf, a visit to the stadium is also an experience for visually impaired football fans.
In the German Bundesliga and 2nd Bundesliga, visually impaired fans are able to experience football games with live commentary, without having to miss out on the special atmosphere in the stadium. At Fortuna Duesseldorf, this blind coverage is provided by the mobile Synexis system of the German audio specialists beyerdynamic. The sports commentators cover the match using wireless microphones and the fans obtain the coverage in the midst of the crowd using the system's wireless receivers and earphones and are thus kept in the middle of the action. This service is organised by the officer for blind and visually impaired fans, which Fortuna Duesseldorf has engaged alongside the disabilities officer. Stefan Felix – also impaired – tends to the fans and engages himself passionately. Alongside the normal blind coverage in the stadium, there are often special events. The live commentary by reporting legend Manni Brueckmann or a special tour for the visually impaired of the old town of Duesseldorf, lead in dialect and using the Synexis tour guide system, were a unique experience. During one particularly extraordinary event, fans were able to put themselves in the position of the blind and visually impaired by wearing special glasses and follow the match only by using the Synexis system and the blind coverage.
Synexis offers coverage in the midst of the fans
The technical effort required for the coverage is minimal, but it's impact is all the more impressive. The wireless Synexis system by beyerdynamic ensures optimal transmission of the blind coverage. It is easy to handle, which is particularly important for the blind. The channel buttons on the receiver are lockable, preventing the accidental changing of channels. The only operating element is a prominent volume control, which also works as an on/off button. Noise compensating microphones prevent ambient noise from being picked up, resulting in optimal sound quality and speech intelligibility. Thanks to the open earphones, fans can follow the coverage whilst still being able to notice everything that's going on around them.
Recommended products
- Two Synexis TP8 beltpack transmitters with TG H54c neckworn microphone or DT 394 headset for monitoring.
- This keeps the commentators' hands free and quick changes between commentators are possible using the mute button on the pocket transmitter.
- Alternative: One Synexis TH8 handheld transmitter, which the commentators pass between themselves.
- Synexis RP8 beltpack receiver with DT 2 earphones for fans.
- The number of devices to be provided depends on the number of visitors to the stadium.
- Synexis C20 or C30 transport and charging case.
- The devices can also be powered by standard batteries.
