Dear Dr. Trapp,
My doctor has me on Metformin for now. I was wondering if my blood glucose numbers go down more when I lose more weight?
- Debbie
Hi Debbie,
As you continue a pattern of healthful eating and more activity, you are likely to see the morning readings drop. Try to be patient and not be so overly fixated on that number or on weight.
Behaviors and habits are more important than any single number or a specific reading on the scale. Focus on getting enough of the right foods and getting more physical activity, every day. Find and stick with healthy meals and activities you enjoy. Everything else will follow.
Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen app (Nutritionfacts.org) can be very helpful in keeping you focused on the key behaviors, not the numbers.
Make sure you take Vitamin B12 with a WFPB diet and with metformin to prevent deficiency.
Applause to you - you are well on your way to turning diabetes around and preventing other medical issues!
Kind Regards,
Dr. Caroline Trapp, DNP, CDE

The chateau producing Napoleon's favourite red wine, one of Burgundy's most prized vineyards, has been sold to a Chinese gambling tycoon, sparking dire warnings from local growers of a "foreign invasion" of mainly Asian investors.The unnamed casino magnate from Macao outbid local vintners to pay eight million euros for Chateau de Gevrey-Chambertin – a 12th Century listed building along with its two-hectare vineyard and pinot noir grapes.
It is the first Burgundy chateau to fall into the hands of the Chinese, who have already bought 20 Bordeaux chateaux and are fanning out to other regions as they seek to cater for rocketing domestic demand for French wine and art de vivre.
But local winegrowers are furious at seeing the chateau sold to Asian outsiders from under their noses, particularly as they had put in an offer of five million euros – well above the estimated value of the property of around three million euros. They want nothing less than state intervention to keep their wine heritage in French hands.
"I think France is selling its soul and that our politicians must react," fumed Jean-Michel Guillon, the president of the Gevrey-Chambertin winemakers syndicate, who mounted the failed local bid.
"We are starting to say to ourselves that our heritage is going out the window because it is not the only [foreign] purchase we've seen in the area. I'm afraid that within years, Burgundy will no longer belong to the Burgundians," he warned.
Gevrey-Chambertin is a village in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy home to some of the world's most prestigious and expensive red wines derived exclusively from pinot noir.
Its intensity of colour and rich, deep flavours have earned it the title the "King of Wines", which, according to the poet Gaston Roupnel expresses "all that great Burgundy can be".
The vineyards sold with the chateau only produce around 10-12,000 bottles out of a total of more than two million for the whole appellation.
But for Mr Guillon, the sale is highly symbolic and amounts to plunder.
"I have nothing against the investor…but if we turned the tables, what would the Chinese say if French investors bought up 10 or 50 metres of the Great Wall of China?"
Jacques Dorey, a municipal councillor in Gevrey-Chambertin played down the sale, saying: "There is every chance that the chateau will be well looked after. The vines will be tended to by a local vigneron so it will change nothing in terms of wine production."
Locals were already put out when a Chinese businessman entered a partnership with a local grower to buy two hectares of prized Vosne-Romanée vines in February. At least two other top chateaux are said to be quietly seeking buyers, insiders said, while another Burgundy landmark, le chateau de la Rochepot, is also up for grabs.
Kyriakos Kynigopoulos, a wine consultant and owner of Burgundia Oenology, said: "The Burgundians are very close to their wines and very attached to their land, however small the plot. They even frowned on a domain in Vosne-Romanée being sold to buyers from Bordeaux.
"They have made a lot of money since the 1990s and every time a piece of land comes up, five of them fight for it and it is bought within the day.
"Now all the talk is of the arrival of the Chinese, taking their land forever."
The Chinese first started buying chateaux in Bordeaux in 2008, with some turned into luxury hotels for high-end Chinese clientele. China is now the biggest importer of Bordeaux wines with consumption up by 110 per cent in 2011 alone, and it is even building a Saint-Emilion-inspired wine theme park in the northern Dalian resort, due to open this year.

One of the students in my class at Youthwrite camp last summer asked me: "If you could give only one piece of advice to young writers, what would it be?"
My answer: Never give up.
Keep writing, no matter what. Write every day. Make a habit of it so strong that if a day goes by when you don't get to write, you suffer withdrawal symptoms.
If you're like me you probably started writing in the first place because it was fun. Then, when you get more serious about it, writing gets harder. Keep at it even when it isn't fun, when you'd rather be doing something else. It will get fun again.
Most beginning writers think they're better at it than they really are. An important moment in one's writing life comes when you admit you've got a long way to go. When you face that daunting gap between the writing you're capable of and the amazing work you want to accomplish. Many would-be writers give up at this point.
Keep at it.
If you stick with it, there are plenty of other hurdles. The days when you don't feel like writing, or when other responsibilities and commitments eat up your writing time. Those creative dry spells when you feel like the worst writer in the world and you have nothing to write about anyhow.
Keep at it.
Sometimes you finish a piece and send it out and it gets rejected. This happens to every writer. It hurts. Sometimes your writing gets rejected over and over again before it finds a home. Sometimes it never does.
And when you do get something published, or publish it yourself, you may have to face criticism, misunderstanding, mockery. Maybe even hatred.
That is, if you can get someone's attention. There will be times when you know you've written something worthwhile, something beautiful and valuable and true, and the world doesn't notice. There are a lot of books out there, not to mention all the movies, games, television shows, websites…
Indifference might be the most toughest hurdle of them all: to keep writing when it seems that what matters to you matters to no one else.
Keep at it.
Don't give up. Never give up. If you're stuck or blocked, remember that hitting a wall is actually a necessary part of the creative process. Go do something else for a while, and while you're taking a break, the part of your mind that you can't consciously access will still be busy working on the problem and coming up with a solution. Trust that your mind will find the way. The ideas will flow again. They always do.
If you're discouraged by rejection letters, or bad reviews, or no reviews at all, keep working. Keep sending your work out. Keep learning and improving. We all have creativity within us, but most people never know it's there or make use of it. You've found that spark in you, and that is the real reason for all the hard work, not money or fame or the approval of others. The reward of writing is to grow that spark into your own unique vision, whether it reaches five people or five million.
Never give up.
Oh, and one other bit of advice: Read. Read everything. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry. Read outside your favourite genre. Far outside. Devour a good book and then go back and read it again, slowly, with a pen, making note of all those passages where you were amazed, moved, transported, where the writer had you in thrall, body and soul. How did she work that magic? Reading like a writer is as much a craft as writing like one.

Haddad to resign after decade on the bench in Cook County
By Mary Kate Malone
Law Bulletin staff writer - 7/31/2013
Cook County's first Arab-American circuit judge plans to resign in September after 10 years in a position he held by order of the Illinois Supreme Court.
Circuit Judge William J. Haddad submitted his resignation letter on Monday and his last day will be Sept. 6.
"It's been great. It's been a rush," Haddad said. "People say I work too hard, but it's like playing baseball. You love it, and get paid for doing it. That's why you put a lot of effort into it — because you enjoy the job."
Haddad, 67, was appointed to the bench in 2003 to fill a vacancy. He narrowly lost his bid to keep his seat in the 2004 primary election.
His term was scheduled to expire at the end of 2004, but the state high court recalled him to the bench for a six-year period. The court recalled him again in 2010 for a three-year period ending Nov. 30.
Haddad's chance to get recalled a third time disappeared when the state high court announced in 2011 that it would no longer recall judges who had not won election.
Circuit Judge William D. Maddux, presiding judge of the Law Division, said he sent letters to the Illinois Supreme Court trying to have Haddad recalled again, "but to no avail."
"He's one of the finest judges I've ever encountered in the circuit court," Maddux said. "The man is bright, he's able, very intelligent and has sound judgment. … We're losing a good person.
Though Haddad could have stayed until Nov. 30, he decided to leave early because he is "anxious" to start his new career.
He plans to mediate cases with ADR Systems of America LLC and become active with the American Middle East Voter Alliance, which helps organize Arab-American voters in Cook County "into one cogent group" and will evaluate local candidates' sensitivity to minority issues.
"It's a community that often undervotes and is overlooked by officeholders who have the power to appoint them to positions that otherwise they would not be elected to," Haddad said.
Haddad chose not to run for election in part because he doesn't believe he could win, he said.
When he lost the primary in 2004, he had the backing of many government officials including then-Mayor Richard M. Daley, yet it still wasn't enough, he said.
"I don't want to say men with unusual last names have a difficult time getting elected, but there is some history there," he said.
Since 2005, Haddad has worked in the trial section of the Law Division, handling cases involving medical malpractice, product liability and construction injuries.
"He is a wonderful judge," said Joseph W. Balesteri, a partner at Power, Rogers & Smith P.C., who represents plaintiffs in personal-injury cases and has appeared before Haddad. "It's a sad day for Cook County citizens and our trial bar."
For complex, high-dollar trials in the Daley Center, when both sides may request the trial judge, Haddad is often named, Balesteri said.
"He's equal to a World Series-quality umpire … It's sad we're losing him. He's a great man."

2016 Girls and Boys Volleyball Teams Finish with Winning Season
January 5, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
March Mountain High School (MMHS) girls and boys volleyball teams faced a challenging season this year; overall their journey led to a winning season.
The boys volleyball team struggled the first few games with teamwork. After the first two games however, their teamwork became stronger. One advantage the boys team had was an excellent spiker. "Mamona Suaalii is the best player on the team, with best all around skills," said boys volleyball coach Jeff Paterson.
The boys volleyball team ended their season undefeated at home; their record is six wins and two loss.
The girls volleyball team struggled with calling and serving the ball throughout most of the season. "The two best players on the team were Johanna De Paz, and Jaime Baily, with the best all around skills and serves," said girls head volleyball coach Gary Peckels.
One of the advantages the girls team had was knowing how to keep the ball in place. Overall, the girls team ended their season undefeated at home and their record was six wins and two loss.

Isaiah 48:8-11 (NIV)
"You have neither heard nor understood;
from of old your ear has not been open.
Well do I know how treacherous you are;
you were called a rebel from birth.
"For My own name's sake I delay My wrath;
for the sake of My praise I hold it back from you,
so as not to cut you off.
"See, I have refined you, though not as silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
"For My own sake, for My own sake, I do this.
How can I let Myself be defamed?
I will not yield My glory to another."
Or, as Kutless puts it:
As the passage and song above say, it seems we always turn ourselves away from God, even tho He's the whole point of living. After all, Christ shed His own blood, as man (even tho He's God), for you. Not only have we not listened to Him, we have been a Rebel From Birth. Sinners. Think about that for a while. If you get nothing else frmo this random post…ponder that one and mull it over in your mind for a while.
Yet, somehow, for some reason, God provided the above Way to save us…As far as the east is from the west that is how far He will take your sins away.
It's His grace. For a rebel like you and me, He will delay His wrath, give you a second chance (and often more) to repent and return to Him. Amazing how that works, eh? Ya, I know I'm rambling…not sure what my point is here. Just wanted to share some things that are on my mind, related to an issue I'm dealing with that I will not put to words here. (All I'll say is that a little prayer would be nice…)
To close, remember I Corinthians 15:57-58…"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." (NIV) (Thanks goes to my friend Soliloquy for that one.)
God Bless,

The Choral Journal, April 2002
In this article, David Conte asserts that Ralph Vaughan Williams's "Three Shakespeare Songs" represent a supreme achievement in the repertoire of twentieth-century unaccompanied choral compositions. Moreover, the songs brilliantly fulfill the original pedagogical purpose: to provide a challenging and grateful work for choral singers, using texts of the highest literary and spiritual quality. Conte shows the logic with which it is possible to apply moveable do solfege to ensure good intonation and to increase singers' awareness of the expressive character of certain notes and intervals, particularly in relation to the text. The author provides three tables to show phrase structure and tonal centers of each section, all of which will greatly aid the conductor in interpretation, pacing, and memorization.

Within a single breath of time, blink of eye, eye of newt, hook and crook, I find myself on Snowshoe Mountain. I also find, to my surprise, that my feet are completely snowed in. It's rather hard to move my limbs in carbonite, but I employ the tenacity of a snowplow and make my way through Snowshoe. The trees sparkle like windows and the earth is a mirror of the empyrean, a hop skip and a jump away from the food court. From Whistlepunk to the Green Onion to the Village Center to the Top of the World I trek, watching snowboarders cut open the sky and children turn into angels, Yankees in tee shirts talking down to Dixons enveloped in artificial fur coats, and every Who in every flake falling down in Snowshoe devoured suddenly by thirsty travelers with their tongues to the vanilla ice-cream sky. It's not the first time my head has been in the clouds.

Man time sure is flying by! Sorry I haven't posted to the blog in like forever!!!
Jayden is now 6 months old and so much fun! I can't believe how fast he is growing. We are trying to just really enjoy each stage he is going through! He is such a good baby! We are so spoiled with him! :) He started sleeping through the night at about 2 months and has been pretty much doing so ever since. He is also a good eater. He is just starting on solids, but he loves them!
For Christmas this year we went home at the beginning of December to spend time with the family and celebrate the holidays and then we went up to Sacramento, CA to spend Christmas with our friends. We had a great first Christmas with Jayden! :)

Rowan - Newborn & Family Shoot
Rowan MoChridhe
We welcomed Rowan, my newest cousin, into the world on June 25th, 2014 in Denver, Colorado.
Him and his family moved to Minnesota shortly after and we took some photos to capture him in this precious and tiny state along with his parents. This little guy has been such a blessing and joy in all of our families lives.
This shoot was a learning experience, I have never taken pictures of a newborn, so this is my first time ever shooting with a person who couldn't take any of my directions! Nonetheless, he was a trouper and we only had to take a couple of snack breaks.

Huge forest fires in the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, are still burning out of control.
Planes are being used to drop water on fires, which are raging on the island of La Palma. But firefighters have been forced to pull back from the flames.
Around 4,000 people, including many tourists, have had to leave their homes and hotels.
Lots of people on holiday in La Palma have been unable to catch their flights home because roads are closed.
The worst fires are around the towns of Fuencaliente and Mazo, both very popular with tourists.
The Spanish Prime Minister has promised to help those affected by the blazes.
In Fuencaliente more than 20 homes were destroyed by the flames.
At least one fire is thought to have been caused by a stray firework let off during a local festival.
There are fears the flames could spread to an observatory which is home to the world's largest telescope.
The Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory has been operating for more than 20 years, and a new telescope was officially opened last month.

December Project- Rush University Medical Center
An interesting project to close out 2015 involved capturing a large glass terrarium designed by Sentech Architectural Systems in Austin, Texas. The terrarium was designed for the Rush University Medical Brennan Entry Pavillion and consists of a conical shaped glass portal reaching from the inside floor (1 and 2) and extends beyond the ceiling into an outside courtyard area (3).
The concept was to allow the outside light to flow into an enclosed area within the Pavillion. The bottom of the terrarium features a plant environment similar to a forest setting where outside light illuminates the forest floor albeit in a limited amount. Accordingly, the plant life selected for the terrarium's floor is similar to that found in a typical forest environment, trees, moss, ferns,, etc.
I was asked to capture the integration of the terrarium concept with the medical environment and how it interacts with both the interior and exterior spaces of the Pavillion.
There are obvious issues to overcome when photographing within a very busy medical facility.
1. Obtaining clearance for photography from administrative and security personnel.
2. Gaining access to areas not normally allowed to the public.
3. Capturing usable images around the constant flow of patients, visitors, and medical staff.
The most challenging shots for this project involved capturing the inside and outside light in one image (4) .
Had I attempted to try this at noon, there might have been up to 10 stops of light difference in brightness between the sunny outside and the light levels found inside. This would have rendered either the outside being blown-out or the inside as too dark. I chose to capture this shot near sundown to allow a smaller four stop difference of brightness at that time. The difference in light color temperature between the outside 5000K and the inside's 2800K is clearly visible. Still, I think the shot works for contrasting the outside and indoor environments.

After 10 years of faithful service, my reliable, go-to camera the Canon 1Ds Mark III has been put to rest and relegated to a backup role. I'm very happy to announce the purchase of a Canon 5D Mark III. Although, there are more recent, pixel stuffed-sensors available, I elected to buy the 5D Mark III due to its outstanding track record for producing phenomenal images, increased dynamic range, and superior performance in low-light situations …which I am often presented with on my architectural projects.
Along with the Mark III, I'm assisted by my new Camranger allowing me to work remotely from my Ipad. By generating its own Wi-Fi signal, the Camranger links to my 5D Mark III via a free downloaded app. Camranger provides live viewing, selective focus (only on auto-focus lenses), and complete control of aperture settings, color temperature, exposure compensation, and shutter release.
This wonderful combination will allow me to work with my clients in real time to view and adjust compositions with the live view function, in real time before the shutter is released. After capturing, the image can be downloaded from the camera to the Ipad for final viewing and approval before moving on to the next setup. Sweet.
Next month I will be shooting the #2 rated golf course in Iowa over a three day period. I can't tell you how useful all of this new technology will be in capturing the needed course shots. The Mark III and Camranger will sit atop my Manfrotto 24 foot tripod (affectionately named 'Helga') with a pan and tilt motor drive between the two. By utilizing the Live Cam feature on the Mark III, I can view the composition from my Ipad, tilt and turn the camera angles until the desired composition in achieved, select my focus point and depth of field, and release the shutter while sitting comfortably in the golf cart. The Camranger Wi-Fi signal is effective up to 50 meters.
Buying new technologies is an integral part of being successful in this highly competitive business. Photographers…..charge accordingly.

I run an academic hub site and although most of the links go out to informational sites I do have a few categories for commercial sites - and some of them are getting really nice traffic. The stats show that during the month of November some of those commercial sites got over 1000 visitors from me! I inherited these commercial categories from a previous owner and was going to delete. However, now I am in an informed position to ask them for sponsorship support.
I also noted that some groups of informational sites are getting thousands of visitors per month from my site, making me more aware of what my visitors are interested in. This has informed content development and we are now building a number of new pages that will cater to these same visitors that we are currently referring away.

I moved in with one of my best friends last year. Before that, I was fairly boring. Fairly jealous and fairly boring. I'm always jealous when holiday season comes around and I have nobody to share my holidays with. Well, that has since changed and this is my 2nd Halloween that I've gotten to celebrate. What better way to celebrate than to carve your own pumpkin?
I had a few days to come up with a decent concept. I was thinking back to last year when I gave my pumpkin a jew nose and remembered how unsuccessful it was. So I just waited for carving day to come up with my really excellent concept. And here it is:
|Don't mess with my pumpkin. He was in Nam.
It was an ultra easy design and it is super classy. Even with the cigarette.
The cooking portion of today's post is dedicated to my good friend Natalie over at the Devil Wears Parsley food blog. I just want to give her a good comparison of crappy food shots compared to her wonderful and outstanding food shots. And they make me so Hungry!! I almost want to turn into the Hulk because I'm on a hunger rage, when I see those pictures.
Now after Halloween is when the real fun starts. Its time to put the seeds to good use. So here are my steps to making killer pumpkin seeds.
1. clean off your seeds. You'll want to get rid of all the guts and the sprouting seeds. Put your seeds in a collator/strainer and rinse them off pretty good. It's not a big deal if you leave little pieces of guts on the seeds, they burn off in the baking process.
2. Lay out a cookie sheet, put some paper towel down and spread seeds on paper towel and let them dry for about a day, 12 hours at least, IMO.
3. Choose what flavor you would like on your seeds. I chose to make two different kinds since I had just way too many. Half of my seeds were olive oil and salt only and the other half were a mix of olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and salt. They were pretty bad ass.
4. Set your oven temperature to about 250 degrees. Some ovens have varying temperatures. so watch out for that. Another time factor is what you put on the seeds. my "plain seeds" took about 3/4 the time that my coated seeds took.
5. Bake for 20 min- or till whenever you think they are done. Usually done is when you can chew the shell and it pretty much disintegrates when you chew it.
6. Eat them and Enjoys! And don't use a pre used plate when you are going to take a good food shot like me!
If you are into the food network or like looking at good food, I strongly urge you all to check out The Devil Wears Parsley. It's well worth your time!!
And now, today, I shall close the show with a goofy Halloween picture with myself in it. Thanks and let me know what you guys think! Comments, as usual are very much appreciated.

Of course I got a jump start with the whole spring and summer clothing. I figured it was a weight of my shoulders if I started purchasing these clothes now that way when the weather starts to warm up I'll already have the clothes I wanted. I bought some really cute staple pieces that I can mix and match with different shorts and what not. I'll be doing a lot more outfit of the day posts once the weather gets warmer! Recently I've been doing a lot of online shopping, seriously it's soo much easier. No lines, no having to try things on, and no having to carry around an arm full of clothes!
Lace crop tops – Urban Outfitters
Striped crop top -H&M
Black high waist shorts- Garage
Eye see you muscle tank- Billabong
Black t shirt- Express
I can not wait to wear these adorable little crop tops, one is a off white color and the other is lavender. I don't have any lavender colored shirts so instead of getting another black shirt I bought that instead. The other day I was looking online at Express and I saw they have this new line of T- shirts out and there was no doubt in my mind that I had to buy one! Since all I wear is black I settled with this one (Yesterday I wore Black, Today I am wearing black, Tomorrow I will wear black) I thought it suited me well. As for the high waist shorts, I bought a light denim color last summer and when I say I was obsessed with them, I wore them like everyday. So I bought black ones since you can never go wrong with black shorts. The striped crop top I decided to buy because all I had up until now was plain colored crop tops. Lastly is the skull muscle tee, I was bored the other day and happened to find myself on the Billabong website, and of course when I saw that tank I had to have it. It's perfect to wear with high waist shorts, or even a cover up at the beach because it has a slight loose fit to it. I'm sure I'll do another post like this come summer time, but I hope you enjoyed this post! xoxo

This is obviously a detail that affects every corner of the cycling world, but riding with more alcohol than oxygen in your veins is something the mid-20s cyclist can take in their stride. Carbo-loading for the Sunday ride with a 4am kebab, pulling on your kit after three hours of sleep, it's a familiar routine for the poor self-control of youth, especially twinned with the peer pressure of friends who wouldn't ride 60km anyway.

July 31, 2016 – Pope Francis prayed silently on Friday as he hunched on a bench near Auschwitz death camp site's gate in Poland. He prayed in tribute to 1.5 million individuals (most of them Jews), gassed there by Nazi occupiers during the era of World War II. Making the 3rd day of the pope's trip to Poland for a Catholic youth international gathering, he spent a few minutes speaking quietly as well as exchanging gifts with about twelve […]

A few weeks ago, I interviewed Kim Neer, a doula, about the power of recognition. Kim, who has witnessed many births, intrigued me with her description of the first moment that a mother and her baby share: babies almost always grow deeply calm and alert when first looking into their mother's eyes.
That struck me as simple, but incredible. Incredible that a child who has only been part of this world for a few minutes is wired to be so captured by the chance to know and be known. That knowing and recognition brings them to life in the most peaceful of ways.
This all makes me think about the power that recognition has in my own life. Recognition is nice in general, of course, but I am especially hungry for it when I feel I've revealed something valuable or vulnerable about myself. When I don't receive recognition in those moments, I can be described by anything but the words "calm and alert." The words anxious, down, or angry would fit much better.
The interesting thing is, I think I've only been able to find my way out of that icky place through some other form of recognition.
Sometimes, I find that through another comforter – a friend, a therapist, a trusted leader, perhaps. Sometimes through the original person I wanted it from, after a risk to explain my need and ask for it again. Sometimes, I simply receive it from a nurturing place inside of me. Wherever it comes from, I don't think we can come fully alive or be fully at peace without the knowledge that we are worth knowing. That's what recognition reminds us of. Yes, we're worth knowing, even in this moment.

Under water with Miami City Ballet
Behind the scenes of A Midsummer Night's Dream
Video courtesy Miami City Ballet
For Miami City Ballet's 30th Anniversary, artistic director Lourdes Lopez reimagined George Balanchine's ballet classic A Midsummer Night's Dream into an undersea fantasy with costumes and sets designed by artist Michele Oka Doner and dramatic direction by playwright Tarrell Alvin McCraney. To promote the new direction of the production, Miami City Ballet shot and filmed a stunning underwater campaign with the principals of the company. Jennifer Lauren, who plays the role of Hermia and Emily Bromberg as Helena, talk with Lone Palm of their experience.
What were your initial thoughts when you heard that the performance was going to be reset to an undersea setting?
Emily Bromberg: How exciting and different!
Jennifer Lauren: I was glad to hear we would be taking on something new that no other company had done before.
What were you thinking about when you were swimming / dancing underwater for the video?
JL: I was thinking how my character, Hermia, loves Lysander (staying in character), and then at some times searching for him, just as Hermia does in the ballet.
What was the most challenging part of shooting underwater?
EB: I'd have to say the most challenging part was the bit of video work we did after capturing some images. They had us swim a short distance while being filmed--the challenge here was swimming across the pool, with pointed toes, in my pointe shoes, and with somewhat graceful arms. I popped my head out of the water and realized what felt like 20 feet of "ballet swimming" got me only about 10 feet!
JL: It definitely was holding my breath, as well as getting deep enough to take the picture. I learned how to breathe with scuba gear that morning. I would wear a nose clip, breathing with the oxygen mask on the way down to the bottom of the 12-foot pool. Then Chase Swatosh–as Lysander–would dive down to meet me and I would rip off the nose clip and the oxygen mask and pose until we floated to the top. It was very exhausting, but fun!
Can you describe the feelings and setting that day, filming the campaign?
JL: We had the photo shoot in a large Olympic-size pool. It rained a little, but for the most part it was a beautiful day to be in the water. Everyone involved in the shoot was very encouraging and patient with my underwater dancing/modeling abilities. I spent most of my summers as a young girl at the pool but never imagined I would be posing underwater for a photo shoot in my pointe shoes. My only regret was that I wish I had put more sunscreen on!
What has been your favorite part of this reimagined vision of a ballet classic?
EB: I'd say the costumes and the sets are my favorite part. I was excitedly able to sneak out for small sections of our stage rehearsals to see it all from the front of the house. The time, thought, emotion and detail that are poured into these elaborate sets and costumes are almost palpable. They really do create a beautiful underwater world that everyone worked so hard and so long for. It's so impressive.
How do you feel the change of setting has affected the meaning of production for the audience?
EB: I feel the South Florida audiences very much appreciate the change of scenery and setting. Whether the audience members have seen A Midsummer Night's Dream or not, they can certainly appreciate all that went into our new production. Any of us who have lived here long enough know how much the ocean and beaches become an important and beautiful part of the lifestyle of South Florida. Many of us visit the beach daily as it is an important place of peace and grounding. The ocean is a strong reminder of how small we are and how large our world is and those who live here know how lucky we are to have that reminder at our fingertips! I think this production, with all of its sea creatures and beautiful underwater ocean-like projections, really hits home for a lot of Floridians.
This production has been coined as "The Dream" - what piece or performance would be your dream to perform?
JL: I am living my dream now performing Hermia and the Principal Divertissment Couple. The Pas de Deux–in Act II–is so unique in the breadth of the choreography and music. It is long, intimate — a dance that you never want to end.
This year MCB celebrates its 30th anniversary with several premiere performances - do you have any personal highlights?
EB: At the beginning of our 30th season, I was so excited for Justin Peck's Year of The Rabbit and for our new production of Balanchine's A Midsummer Night's Dream. I have not been disappointed, both performances have been amazing experiences that I would not trade!
JL: Beyond Hermia and the Principal Divertissment couple, performing the principal woman in Balanchine's La Source and working with Merrill Ashley, who staged the ballet for MCB, were certainly exciting. The Swan Queen in Balachine's Swan Lake was a highlight, as well as Justin Peck's Year of the Rabbit, Jerome Robbins' Fancy Free, and Twyla Tharp's In the Upper Room. I am looking forward to premiering Heatscape, Symphonic Dances andViscera at Lincoln Center in NYC in April!
On your day off, where are you?
JL: Spending time with my husband and dog, whether resting at home, the beach, pool, brunch, or the most fun — doing laundry.
What are your must-have items to survive in Miami?
EB: Sunscreen and an open mind! You never know what characters you will come across in South Beach and some can be quite entertaining!

Hortonworks launches in Durham
Durham, NC – Over the past few weeks, Hortonworks has quietly moved into Durham's Bull City Coworking and is rapidly ramping up their operations. With a growing user base and $248 million in outside investment, Hortonworks is a leading commercial vendor of Apache Hadoop, the preeminent open source platform for storing, managing and analyzing big data.
Hortonworks is deeply engaged with Hadoop's open source ecosystem, and the move to launch East Coast operations in the region is a sign that the Triangle's reputation as a nexus of open source technical talent continues to grow.
I recently sat down for a coffee at Parker & Otis with Barry Duplantis, Hortonworks new Vice President of Customer Success to discuss his move to Hortonworks and the decision to launch operations in the Triangle.
The Triangle is the Right Place
In looking to place an Eastern US operation, Hortonworks looked at Austin, Boston and all the usual tech hubs. When they brought on local tech veteran, Barry Duplantis, signs started pointing to the Triangle as the next logical step. Duplantis' familiarity and connections with the rich talent pool of open source talent in the region cemented Hortonworks decision to locate here.
Over the past few weeks, Hortonworks has been quietly hiring. Attending the local Hadoop Users Group meetings (TriHUG) and passing the word through the Open Source community has already allowed Hortonworks to expand well beyond their original target of 6 employees.
Duplantis' team has now filled 16 out of 25 positions projected for their short term needs. Impressed with the caliber of talent that the Triangle team is bringing to the organization, Hortonworks is expanding the Triangle location scope to include positions in support, legal, IT and sales.
Triangle Ecosystem Support
A long-time resident of the Triangle, Duplantis has worked at Red Hat, Opsware and most recently for Eucalyptus Systems. Eucalyptus had a team based at Bull City Coworking for over two years, where Barry and his colleagues worked alongside engineers from open source stalwarts like Mozilla, Canonical, Opscode/Chef, Jackson River and several others.
Duplantis says that Hortonworks will fit into the Triangle Open Source ecosystem well since they work with everyone on a partnership basis rather than being competitive. In addition, the local Hortonworks team plans to support the open source developer community, starting with their involvement with the TriHUG meetup group.
Great Potential
Hortonworks is the most interesting company that I have been involved with since my days at Red Hat.
There is great potential for Hortonworks in the Triangle. An East Coast presence brings Hortonworks closer to their regional customers and partners, the big data field is "an incredible growth area" and Barry knows he will be able to find the talent that Hortonworks needs here in the Triangle.

Arlo and I were recently sent some products from Vital Baby to try. The following is an honest review of each product. This post is a little later than intended, blame the viral infection that struck down Arlo for over a week, followed by his most recent bout of flu.
We've recently cut Arlo's morning bottle in favour of breakfast. It was all going swimmingly until one morning Arlo slept in and we needed to be in the car on the way to an appointment. Cue the On The Go Weaning Set from Vital Baby. I prepared Arlo's porridge and off we went. Now I don't make a habit of feeding Arlo in the back of the car but when he was screaming fifteen minutes into our car journey i'm so glad I had prepared his breakfast. The bowl was perfect, complete with a storage compartment with a spoon and a leak proof lid. It was thrown into the changing bag at 6 am and survived my partners driving without spilling a drop. Perfect for use at home and out and about. It's also fun to have a bowl that isn't round.
Luckily Arlo is a piglet, so much so that he's not yet discovered the art of throwing food (I've probably jinxed myself by saying that), he does however enjoy picking his plate up and putting it back down again, which can get a little messy. We've tried a few 'suction' bowls, most of which don't really do what they are meant to. And the ones that do quickly lose their suction after a few washes. This bowl however really is 'unbelievabowl' (yes I went there.) Once i've popped it down my little foodie can not pick it up. A definite need for anyone with a baby that likes to create abstract art with his food.
Soft Tip & Grip Feeding Spoons 4pk
We have tried many a spoon and these are the best so far for feeding himself. He's still only little but we try to include a spoon with his meals (where appropriate) by just popping it down on the highchair or by offering him pre loaded spoons. He does eat with his hands a lot, but I am hoping that by offering him cutlery in addition to letting him go wild, it will help him later on when cutlery is a necessity. The shape of these spoons make them ideal for sticky little hands to grip, the material of the spoons also mean that they don't slip out of his hands when they are covered in food, like some of the other spoons we have tried. I also like the size of the actual spoon, some different brands we first tried are so small that when he finally got food in his mouth it was barely even half a mouthful! They are both dishwasher and steriliser safe which is perfect for someone like me that likes to sterilise everything. All round thumbs up from us, so much so that we bought more.
Does exactly what it's meant to. Ideal for little hands to get snacks out without spilling things everywhere. Top tip though, don't overfill it, I crammed so much fruit in it the first time we used it that Arlo couldn't get anything out. Ideal for snacking on the go at baby groups and in his push chair. Arlo's cousin Henry also used this when he came to play and it was perfect to stop food going everywhere.
Our favourite cup, mainly because it doesn't leak. I had got in to the habit of taking an empty cup out with me and then filling it when we reached our destination because no matter what cup I used it leaked. I was fed up of finding puddles, wet nappies and damp spare clothes in the changing bag. It comes with a lid which is easy to clip on and off keeping the spout clean. Arlo found it very easy to use and was drinking from it with no issues from the first time he used it. The handles are easy for little hands to grip and have encouraged my little lazy bones to feed himself. It is dishwasher and steriliser safe which is perfect for us. Our favourite cup (and I've bought a lot of cups.)
– The above items were gifted to us, in return for an honest review.

Now, although the journey 10 months ago was excruciatingly steep (we missed the fact that there was a more gradual ascent in the back), this year there were other challenges to face. I was convinced that it would be easier now that I knew about the alternate path...I was sorely disappointed. Instead of the 4 hours it took last August, it took us 7 hours to complete the trip; thank god for PB and J sandwiches! This (on the right) is what most of the climb looked like...if you look really carefully at that picture, you can see me and the tiny figure of my dad farther along. Huge chunks of rocks everywhere. When this wasn't the view, then this was the view...
Isn't this an amazing view of Cumberland Sound and Pangnirtung from above? Beautiful. Although I'll be in Qikiqtarjuaq at this time next year, I think this is a picture that will stay with me. Pang has such a distinctive look (for me, at least), that it will be forever in my mind. Check it out...have you ever seen such a small chunk of land spliced with a teeny tiny airstrip which takes nerves of steel to land on? Seriously? There's nothing like the flight into Pang.
Anyway, back to the hike. Heading to the summit was so discouraging at times! We would be heading along a promising path until, all of a sudden, we were cut off with swathes of waist-deep snow. This led to a fair amount of doubling back and trying to find an alternate route. My parents were hell-bent on making it to the top, though, so I kept going with my mouth shut when my muscles started their husky mountain yodeling. It was always "just one more ridge". For anyone who's tried to climb it - which excludes a surprising number of locals - this frustrating characteristic is realized very soon. Just when you think you're almost at the top you reach a point which introduces a whole new stack of rocks to climb.
We did make it though...
Mom and dad got some awesome yoga pose pictures but, unfortunately, my camera died on the ridge below; I still have to scam the ones I like from my dad's new digital wonder.
Once we reached the top and drank some fantastic crystal clear water we scooped up from a stream, we had to face the daunting descent. Let me tell you: I was not looking forward to so much back tracking and circling. My feet and ankles hurt, my body was so tired, and all I could think of was the ton of homework I had to complete for the following day. So we took a few shortcuts. Yes, that's a picture of me sliding head-first down a patch of snow on a garbage bag. Now, the first time I tried this, it was great...with a smooth swoosh I was at the bottom. Somehow, though, the snow was different here and all I could do is pull myself along with my arms. I was laughing so hard I thought I wouldn't be able to make it past the first few meters.
That's Mount Duval on a beautiful Victoria Day weekend...I can't wait to see what Qik has to offer in the way of hiking opportunities!

Nothing much but a holding page and logo for now. Update, here's some sneaky cam footage of the first trailer. The latest adventures of Luffy and co. will hit the Vita's screen in 2015. With the lead version now on the PS4, expect a bit more of a difference between the two as Bandai's developers stretch their legs.
While we still wait for the second game to come west, which might still happen depending on how Unlimited World Red sold, I wouldn't get your hopes up about this one heading our way. From the minimal information.
Another Bandai property, Sword Art Online is also getting a third game, but that won't be announced until a Namco event in October, likely also a PS4/Vita combo. Hopefully the recent western release has done enough business for that title for a wider release in 2015.
