Centennial of St Edward, Jeffersontown
Speech given by Sister Victoria Brohm on the occasion of
the Centennial at St. Edward, Jeffersontown,
This paper or talk is the collaboration of about five of my former schoolmates and I. Namely, Harry Brohm, my brother, Mary Hawes, Mary First, and Amelia and Justina Heimann–we had fun recalling "Big Oaks from little acorns grow" from 26 students to over 500 and the school could be twice the size. "They that instruct others unto justice shall shine as stars throughout eternity." Daniel 12:3.
Church and original school at St. Edward, Jeffersontown.
Either of these quotes could be elaborated on until time should be no more, but I am attempting in my feeble way to say a few things about the years of St. Edward's School between the years of 1912 to 1921. These are the years when I attended and of which I am most familiar.
We know the school opened its doors for the first time in 1907 with an enrollment of 26 pupils. Sister Jerome of the first sisters here often told me I was a babe in my mother's arms the first time she saw me. Those six years passed in a hurry and now I am ready to be a first grade student. Now, I wonder how you would feel if you were a first grade student and a Sister (of whom you had seen so few) would say: "Say the Angelical Salutation," I was petrified but managed to say tearfully, "I don't know it." Then she said: "Do you know the Hail Mary?" Oh yes," I said amidst smiles, "I say it all the time, mama taught it to me." and so I rattled it off.
At that time the Sisters came from Mt. St. Angela's on Newburg Road. They walked through slush, ice and snow through what is now Speed Avenue to catch the Interurban car on Bardstown Road. Some of us were always on the corner to meet them and carry a little black bag, which they brought with them for their personal needs.
Now above the front door was a sign which said: St. Edward's School–it is the same one hanging there now–I remember some of the big boys pointing to it laughing and snickering and saying, "St. Edward's Training Shop."
Rosamond Margaret Brohm on the day of her entrance into the novitiate in 1923 and became Sister Mary Victoria.
Inside the building was a front hall, where wearing apparel and lunch boxes were deposited and then two classrooms separated by folding doors, I'll tell you about the doors later–but in each room was a big pot-belly stove, and often as my, brother said, "You had to strike a match to see if we had fire in the stove because it was so cold." Picture all the children hovering around this big stove. We had double desks, which cost $3.00; blinds $2.50 and charts at $6.80. It all may have been crude, but we learned much there. Today we hear constant complaint about our school system, the students' lack of knowledge, especially in Science and Math. Well, the complaint then could have been too much homework, too much memorization of Catechism questions, etc., etc., and on and on. But daily I thank the good God that I was disciplined and made to study.
Today, another complaint—the children know no geography. Well, if they had to memorize all state capitols and locations as we did–for instance–Maine, Augusta and the Kennebec; New Hampshire, Concord on the Merrimac; Massachusetts, Boston on Boston Harbor and on through all the states, capitols and know to which section of the country they belonged–would this satisfy the parents? Historical memorization was quite the same but perhaps a little broader.
Then we were exposed to Spelling Bees–reading of monthly report cards with the parents and other guests present. Along with the report card reading, we had a little program consisting of songs, poems and piano duets. Sister Celestine taught music (piano) to about six or eight of us for 50¢ a lesson (one hour); this gave them a little extra money. Now this is when the folding doors were opened. For big plays and operettas we build a stage in the front of the room, used sheet for curtains and improvised many things. This is when I got a yen for drama and majored in it in later years.

Poetry—both pastor and teachers insisted on memorization of poetry and for this I will never cease thanking God. In poetry we learned the beauty of God's world around us, and that has stayed with me these many years and with others with whom I reminisced. And the other day I read this about beauty–"Beauty is the poor person's moat attainable treasure and to be a minister of beauty takes no special education, diplomas, or certification. Neither does it requite a commissioning ceremony."
Then there were the beautiful Church services; we learned to sing Vespers in Latin; we had Vespers every Sunday at 2:00 p.m. When I entered the convent this was nothing new–we had been singing Vespers since I was nine years old.
Forty Hours with so many priests, exposition, flowers, incense at Benediction–I can still smell the fragrance; marching in procession, strewing flowers, first Holy Communion, beautiful hymns–a new relationship with God. Then a First Mass–Father Fanelli in 1917–then Father Allegier after I left home. I imagine the McKenna property is still echoing the voices of all of us from our school picnics. What a wholesome time we had!!
And the discipline–I remember being sent home for having on a short dress and socks; we weren't supposed to wear socks, so I went across the street to Riley's store and bought me a pair for a quarter and went back to school. Mary First had on a short dress and Sister asked, "Why didn't you make your dress longer." Mary said, "My mother didn't have enough material." And when Sister called the roll in the morning, we didn't just say "Present." We said, "Present at Mass with homework performed or not performed."
Father Reverman called Mary Hawes and me "Sunbeam and Sunshine" because we were always laughing; we all loved him for he took so much interest in the students and would offer prizes for good work. One time he assigned us Composition work such as, "Write a 25 page dialogue between a Catholic and a non-Catholic (we had about nine churches and only one Catholic Church); he wanted to be sure we knew what we were about. Another time he assigned this one–"A Visit to the President and to the Halls of Congress"–25 pages (25 must have been his lucky number).
Father Reverman had a horse named Ned. My brother, Harry Brohm and Henry Karcher had charge of him; they cleaned out the stable and harnessed him to the buggy for Father to go on sick calls, to the bank at Buechel, etc. Of course, they expected a tip–but never a penny; we were taught to be Church.
People from a distance rode the Interurban car to church on Sundays; it came at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday. Mass began at 7:00 a.m. and it usually lasted about one hour, but sometimes longer. The motorman on the 8:00 o'clock car would blow his whistle loud and long–people would get up and go out, leaving Father Reverman with practically an empty church.
I could write fifty to a hundred pages but now I've come to 1921 when Father Reverman, who later became Bishop Reverman, was to be changed. There was sorrow all around. Miss Hattie, his housekeeper, I suppose got tired of all the crying and wailing and remarked, "Why such a disturbance, they all have the same power!"
Sisters Mary Otho Abell, Mary Beatrice Donohue, Mary Louise Riney, Mary Victor Rogers in the backyard at old St. Edward in this undated photograph.
Father Reverman was educated in Europe; he had a reading knowledge of 11 languages and spoke 7 fluently. I remember on one occasion we were taught hymns in four different languages so that the people of different nationalities who attended could hear a hymn in their native tongue–this was German, French, Latin, Italian and of course, English. Mrs. Reverman, Father's mother, lamented the fact that her "Te-a-dor" had such a small parish and that he was so brilliant. Well, on April 24,t 1921, on the very day of his mother's funeral, he was assigned to St. Francis of Assisi Parish, but as far as I can remember, he didn't leave J-town until school closed which was late in June—if he left in April he came back for the closing of school in late June. Our program was at night. I well remember because I had the privilege of giving the farewell address; it went something like this:
"To meet in Heaven, how sweet the thought
When life's short years are passed.
No more to meet, no more to part
To meet in Heaven at last."
The words of this little poem seem very appropriate for this occasion, for the time of parting has come as it must to all things. My happy school days have at last come to an end—and now it seems that, I mast end for my time is up, and I, Thank you!

I graduated from St. Edward in 1963. I have been teaching there since 1971 as a fourth graded teacher/resource/special needs coordinator. I taught the fourth grade for 25 years and for the past 19 years have been the resource & special needs coordinator. My heart is and always will be with St. Edward's.

How sweet! "I thank the good God that I was disciplined and made to study."
I grew up across the street from St. Edward Church and School on Sue Helen Drive. Some of my favorite memories are bike rides with Father "B", 5th grade with Mrs. Hettie Alcorn, 6th Grade with Mrs. Mary Risen, Youth Group and then teaching CCD under Sr. Jeanette Bowling.

Diane Hawkins, the mother of murder victim Yusuf Hawkins, Al Sharpton, and others react to the verdict that cleared Keith Mondello of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges. After the verdict was announced on May 19, 1990, one member of the Hawkins family reportedly shouted, "You'll get yours." On the previous day, Joseph Fama was found guilty by a separate jury: judgement affirmed at People v. Fama, 212 A.D.2d 542 (1995). Al Sharpton threatened that, "We intend to move this city like it's never been moved before" and led marches into Bensonhurst and other New York neighborhoods clamoring for racial justice.

This post is brought to you by UPS.
How do you speak to someone genuinely? In conversation, people value an honest, friendly and receptive person who listens just as much as he speaks . Anyone who has read a few lines of Emily Post knows how to behave well in public, and it's easy to make a personal connection with someone simply by showing your personality.
As a brand, the line is a little more tenuous to walk. The conversation not only involves communicating a genuine personality, but also ensuring that you don't veer too far into "brand speak" and lose your customers and fans in all of the noise. Unfortunately, brand communications anywhere outside of social media suffer from slow and clunky brand messaging, making it difficult to reach potential consumers in that necessary personal setting.
But, thankfully, there are companies out there who are trying to change all that, and are smoothing out the bumps in brand/consumer communication in creative and effective ways.
We spoke with two companies that are radically changing the ways that brands communicate with their consumers — making businesses big and small faster, smarter and more thoughtful when responding to the public's needs.
What company do you think is revolutionizing communication? Let us know in the comments.
One of the most powerful things a brand can do is turn a casual customer into a "brand evangelist" — a fan who not only loves a product but is also willing to tap into their own social networks to promote it. Brand evangelists are worth their weight in gold, but like the previous metal, they're just as hard to cultivate in meaningful quantities. It doesn't help that brands rarely reward their customers for word-of-mouth endeavors, and it's difficult to incentivize messaging without seeming fake or too forceful.
Enter Kapture, a New York based startup that has found a way to make brand evangelizing frictionless, interesting and fun for customers. Utilizing a combination of social check-ins, photography and social media broadcasting, the app is both a way for consumers to earn perks and a brand to score a fan with cache. And that fan always loves to take photos.
Kapture does this through "moments," which are individual opportunities for consumers who use the app to take pictures of a brand or product at a specific location. For example, users can stop by a local juice bar, snap and share a picture of the pineapple smoothies they ordered, and receive a coupon for 50% off their next order automagically. Szewczyk says that customers enjoy using Kapture because it's really close to the way people organically share their experiences.
Teaming up with small and large businesses alike, Kapture aims to take real life brand interactions that are natural to a customer's day and turn them into social shoutouts for the brand. Although its really only rolled out within the last couple months, Szewczyk says that the app has received plenty of positive feedback from brand partners, both local and national.
Communication is not a one-way street, and it's just as difficult to have a consumer have a positive experience communicating with the brand as it is the other way around. And, believe it or not, similar barriers are in place: because companies naturally foster a one-to-many relationship, it's difficult to single out customers individually and listen to their needs.
And listening is key — especially if the company wants to stay in business.
"When you're talking to your customer, it's the most important conversation you're having," says Sunir Shah, Chief Marketing Officer at Y-Combinator developed customer service startup Olark.
Olark is founded on solving the listening problem within the customer service community, and do it as fast as possible. Shah says that this is made possible through Olark's system, which relies on a simple code that can be cut and paste into every page of a brand's business. Customers are then able to click at the bottom of a page and chat directly with a representative from the company.
The flexibility isn't only on the consumer end, either. Olark users are able to access customer communications from any and all devices — including mobile devices and chat. This allows companies to completely divest themselves of a costly and time-heavy call systems that normally work their way into traditional customer service strategy.
The result is a secure, simple and fast way to get in touch with customers, and stay with them as they navigate the company websites. Olark has quickly risen as the communique of choice for fellow startups such as 99 Designs and Hipmunk, but Shah says it's all about moving chat into the future of customer service.
"In the future, customer service will become real-time. Small town, small business values at scale," Shah says.


will having the balance and skill design teams working so close with the pvp and wvw balance team help create a better understanding of abilities/class mechanics that can be useful in all game modes and have better throughout ways to combat the difference of using skills on AI and Skills on Players.
what I am trying to say is will having the teams working closer help stop future design choices that focus on one class type being either over effective in one game mode and under effective in another.
It is a goal to create more nuanced understanding of each profession across each game mode. All of us play a significant amount of the game, but none of us are masters of all professions across all game modes. So.... yes, we'll be mitigating some of the lopsided effectiveness across game modes but that is only going to go so far.
We don't focus on someone being super effective in a mode; we focus on what role they should be effective at and what mechanic will help them do that.
We want some professions to be great at, say, boon to condition conversion. As you point out, that is more effective in some (competitive) game modes than others. If more boons exist in PvE, then that naturally those mechanics (and thus specializations) becomes a bit more effective there too. We're coordinating more with the living world and raids+fractals teams to help with these things as well.
If more boons exist in PvE, then that naturally those mechanics (and thus specializations) becomes a bit more effective there too. We're coordinating more with the living world and raids+fractals teams to help with these things as well.
PvE lacks so much nuance that most encounters feel the same.
However, it's not just about those things existing in PvE. They need to feel impactful enough to force you to change your playstyle habits a little bit, or else you can just use your top DPS rotation and kill anyone regardless of how many boons enemies have on themselves. Not being able to adapt should have consequences. But I suspect that is near impossible to achieve in a game where unoptimized builds deal drastically less damage than optimized builds.
It would be nice if PvE hewed a little closer to PvP and WvW in terms of enemy encounter design. It would also help with balance issues in general, as right now certain things are either too powerful or too weak against AI. I always liked the Sylvari half of the Toxic Alliance for that reason, and not just because it was one of the few opportunities to use Finishers in PvE. Right now, playing PvE doesn't really prepare you at all for PvP, and vice versa to a lesser extent. In some ways, playing either actually probably makes you worse at the other by teaching bad habits.
I guess the main problem with putting those smarts onto PvE mobs is that they work best in groups (ooh, make a raid boss that is basically a souped-up 10-person enemy team using meta raid comp abilities), but a group that behaved like players would destroy most solo OW players, or be so weak that the mechanics didn't matter. However, if they were found in events that involved NPC allies with similar abilities and intelligence (something like the Mantle vs Seraph events), then it could work -- and support builds would even be somewhat viable.
At any rate, I'm not sure how much encounter design and AI overlap with Systems, though obviously it has a major impact on PvE balance.
Are there any plans to introduce elite specs outside Expansion releases. I'm saying this, because to have a decent roster where each core profession has a choice of support, tank, heal, dps elites, and this way make true the "No holy trinity" promise, it will take at least another 3 years. I don't think that's going to be a good thing. The lack of choices and a proper identity conveyed into specializations is already pushing some professions out of content. Like necromancers barely having a spot in PvE, especially after the epidemic nerf, and how badly elementalists were hit by what was a moderate, and partially warranted, nerf.
I honestly thing that this elite release schedule (and how traits were renamed to excuse the fact that only one elite was coming with HoT) and the Quarterly (now slightly more frequent) release schedules, were two of the worse possible decisions for GW2 ever made. At least that have a more generalized, and sometimes less perceived impact on the game, which just makes it a bit more insidious.
The typical low rate of boon generation, boon stripping, condition clearing, condition generation, and the nerf to non-damaging conditions Defiance brings produces a large gap in a profession's efficacy between PvE and WvW/PvP. Aside from the disparity between NPC and PC boon/condi handling, there is also the proliferation of boons and conditions to consider. NPCs, especially boss-level, are unable to manipulate boons and conditions like a boss... hence their reliance on the Defiance immunity idol.
Boss AI and skills are the cause of imbalance between PvE and PvP/WvW.
Do you guys think the mesmer is not the master of all though? Just by reading the forums, it seems like this class just 'dominates' the entire game.
WvW and PvP - utility, roaming, burst, condi, stealth, portal, evades.
I'm affraid that thinking this way won't lead to satisfying result for this specific example.
This is mainly due to the difference in what and how you fight in each gamemode.
When you fight players, they usually have an health pool relatively low and rely heavily on boons for their performances. This make boon to condition conversion extremly strong because you strip your enemy of his lifeline and effectiveness while also applying various condition to worsen things even more.
Whereas when you fight mobs and especially bosses, you face a very large health pool and an entity that don't rely on boons for their performances. Fondamentally bosses, even if they were to be sentient, wouldn't even feel the impact of boon to condition conversion because their efficiency don't rely on boons and they have a massive health pool giving them enough inertia to make the fights relatively long.
Another important point is that boons that convert into impactful condition aren't boons that really give anything to a boss/mob.
Fury to blind: Does a boss even need crit chance to be effective? No. Would blind do anything to a boss? No.
Might to weakness: Weakness don't have any sensible effect on a boss, a waste.
Protection to vulnerability: The issue here is that protection impact to much professions that don't have boon ripping effect making this boon difficult to genralize.
Quickness to slow: Do mob/boss even have cast time that could be impacted?
Retaliation to confusion: The most controversed boon against the difficult to make strong condition in PvE. Something extremly dangerous to implement.
Stability to fear: Say hello to Break bar.
swiftness to cripple: mobs/boss barely feel swiftness like they barely feel cripple. Mobs and boss don't need swiftness to outrun a player and breakbar totally nullify any value that cripple could have.
Vigor to bleed: An interesting conversion from the player point of view but there is no value at all in vigor for the mob/boss.
Regen to poison: Probably the logical boon to generalize, yet I don't see mobs/boss being dependant on this boon in any way (large health pool trivialize it).
Added to this the fact that 10 players bash the same boss in a raid, a single boon removal on an autoattack make the whole concept of making boon conversion a good thing is doomed to be a far and unreachable goal filled with imbalanced issues for professions that don't have any access to boon removal tools.
This is honnestly an impossible task to make boon to condition convertion a valuable mechanism in PvE and I doubt wasting your time and effort to do so is a good thing.

Tameka Bob's 'The Maya In Me'
Robert Walker
Tameka Bob launches her one-woman show that not only showcases her acting prowess, but channels the spirit of the incomparable Dr. Maya Angelou.
Inside My Heart
Tameka Bob is the true definition of a Southern Girl. Born in Savannah, Georgia, and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, her morals are strong and foundation solid. Raised in a single-parent home, she watched her mother work long hours and simultaneously pursue a college degree, all in an effort to provide for her children.
After years of experience as a Mental Health Counselor, and a few Film and Television roles, she made the faith filled decision to relocate to Los Angeles, California. From La to L.A., Tameka is now looking to connect with you on various levels.
[Referenced from Tameka Bob's website: https://www.tamekabob.com/about]
Sometimes we repress thoughts and actions from our past so it will not cause us any pain. However, it is always good to pull those difficulties back up to face them with honesty and clarity."
— Tameka Bob
Tameka Bob Q&A
It is great to peak with you Tameka about your new one-woman show and how you have worked the poetry of the late Dr. Maya into it,
Q) 'The Maya In Me' is a one-woman show that explores episodes in your own life Tameka. Was it therapeutic writing it?
A) Yes it is. It is a personal story. Writing my story was very therapeutic. After writing the first page, tears were flowing. Issues I thought were resolved clearly were not. Sometimes we repress thoughts and actions from our past so it will not cause us any pain. However, it is always good to pull those difficulties back up to face them with honesty and clarity.
Q) Why did you choose Maya Angelou to channel, if you will, in telling this one-woman story?
A) I honestly cannot remember the one moment where I chose Dr. Angelou. I believe it just evolved. I think a lot. Some would say I'm an over thinker. But what I do know, is that I've always enjoyed her work. And as I began to study her life more, there were similarities that could not be denied.
Q) If Maya Angelou were alive today, what would you hope her response would be about 'The Maya In Me'?
A) I believe her response would be "When you learn, teach. When you get, give." She certainly believed in paying it forward, which I would think is the reason for her 7 autobiographies. She wanted to help heal others by sharing her experiences. And that's my motivation, to tell my story so that I can help another young girl to make wise decisions. As a result, I pray that they also pay it forward.
Q) When does the show premiere and where will be people be able to see it's first run?
A) The Maya in Me will premiere at THE BROADWATER SECOND STAGE - June 3, 2018. Tickets will be available at www.hollywoodfringe.org
Q) What is your goal for this show from a production stand-point? Do you plan to tour nationally with the show?
A) This summer premiere is just the start of a movement. A movement to invoke thought regarding self-assessment, in order to make better choices. I would love to tour this show nationally, as well as make my way around the college market.
Q) Who do you want the show to reach. Who is your target market for the show?
A) My target audience is young adult women, and those who have been directly or indirectly affected by substance abuse. With that being said, there is something for everyone - married couples, men, etc...
Q) Who were some of your influences in acting? Who do you admire out there in the acting world currently?
A) My acting influences are pretty current. They include Cicely Tyson, Whoopi Goldberg, Merryl Streep, Viola Davis, Denzel Washington, and Joe Morton
Q) If you could work with one actor and one actress in a film right now, who would that be, and why?
A) Cicely Tyson - I would love her to be my on-screen mom. Even in her wise age, I believe I can gain so much from her. She's a legend, and I have always loved to sit down with my elders and simply learn from their experiences. She soared during a time where it was very difficult for women who looked like us. And I would love to hear all about it, maybe over coffee and toast.
Q) You also have a radio talk show? What is the show format, and how can our readers tune in to listen to the show?
A) Actually, I have an online talk show titled Dr. Bob's REAL Reality. During the first season, I was able to sit down with various successful women who shared their journey to success. Currently, because I am pretty much focusing on The Maya in Me, I have chosen to host the show on social media. I simply choose a topic to discuss in which I feel would be helpful to my audience. Followers are able to ask questions and receive immediate feedback. Dr. Bob's REAL Reality takes place on INSTAGRAM every Monday at 7:00 p.m. PST. The first season can be viewed on my website at www.tamekabob.com
Q) Where do you see yourself as an actress in 5 years?
A) In 5 years, I see myself dating Oscar and hanging out with Emmy. But most importantly, I see myself with several projects I have created and have ownership of. In addition, continuously working in purpose by serving and ministering to the people through creative means of delivery.
Q) You obviously write and produce, do you see yourself transitioning to becoming more of a filmmaker over acting or trying to keep a balance in doing both?
A) I would love to keep a balance between both, sort of like Oprah Winfrey. Hey Auntie Oprah!
Q) Finally, what advice would you give any young people in grade school who may be thinking they would like to act, write and produce as a career?
A) I would say to start now. Read, read, and read more. Stay in school, and perfect your craft. Do not only study acting or writing; study english, math, and science. Education is very important. Go as far as you can in school. This career is not going anywhere. Take your time, live your life. Your life experiences + your education will produce a better actor/writer/producer. Stay grounded. Do not get excited by the glitz and glam. Make good decisions and use your common sense in all areas of your life. And lastly, be a leader, not a follower. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.
Q) How can our readers find you on social media Tameka?
A) Tameka Bob on FB, IG, and Linkedin; mekabob on Twitter; and www.tamekabob.com
Thank you for taking the time to share with us about your wonderful one-woman show and we look forward to seeing it as it tours the country at various venues around the country.
Read, read, and read more. Stay in school, and perfect your craft. Do not only study acting or writing; study english, math, and science. Education is very important."
— Tameka Bob to young people pursuing acting.
About Tameka Bob's One Woman Show
The MAYA in ME, is a one-woman theatrical production written and performed by Tameka Bob.
Tameka tells the transparent and timely personal story of love, hardship, and resilience. Set in New Orleans, Louisiana, the story begins with an all too familiar scenario during childhood, and walks the audience through her young adult life as the girlfriend of a Heroin addict, and progresses to an escape marriage, all while working toward a Doctorate degree.
There are many twists and turns during this ride of love and life. How does she maneuver it all? Dr. Maya Angelou, played by Tameka Bob, offers similar experiences and advice during her journey
About Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou was one of America's most beloved and celebrated poets and authors, with dozens of awards and over 50 honorary degrees attesting to her inspirational role at the center of American life. In 1993, she was invited to recite her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" at Bill Clinton's inauguration, making her the first poet since 1961 to deliver an inaugural recitation. Her lifetime of achievement was rewarded in 2000 when she received the National Medal of Arts, and in 2010 President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the country's highest honors.
The famed author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), the first of her seven autobiographies for which she became known, lived a long and storied life. We know her well as a memoirist, essayist and poet, who authored several books of poetry, three books of essays, and a list of plays, movies, and television shows. She was also a journalist who worked in Africa, a historian, songwriter, dancer, stage and screen producer, director, performer and singer.
And as an activist, she was one of the Civil Rights Movement's most prominent women, who worked with Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, and devoted her life to being a tireless voice for women and black people — and for an open-hearted vision of humanity where all could find their place. On May 28, 2014, the great Maya Angelou passed away at the age of 86, leaving a legacy that will surely be cherished for many decades to come.

Guru Ganesan( left) ARM's India Managing Director and Graham Budd, ARM COO in Bangalore ( IndiaTechOnline Photo)
ARM-ed for the next push -- with 64 bit and Windows
Bangalore, February 21 2012: Semiconductor and software design leader ARM, plans to expand its global reach with offerings that straddle two significant technologies: 64 bit processing on one hand and the Windows operating environment on the other. The UK-headquartered company's new ARMv8 architecture embraces its first 64-bit instruction set, which will allow it to compete in the server and high end computing arena for the first time, explained Graham Budd, ARM's Chief Operating Officer during a special briefing last week for IndiaTechOnline.
While ARM partners like Nvidia Corp. have announced plans to target the server market with the new architecture under the hood, Hewlett Packard has named a new low power server class – Redstone -- that will be fuelled by ARM 64 bit offerings.
Interestingly ARM sees an opportunity for its 64 bit foray, not just in servers but in high end smart phones as well. One should expect the first smartphones and tablets fuelled by ARM's v8 64-bit architecture in 2013, Budd suggested.
In another interesting new direction, ARM will soon be available to drive a Windows OS. The first Windows-based ARM test devices will be available when the new Windows 8 preview is held on February 29 and Steven Sinofsky, President, Windows and Windows Live Division, Microsoft, has promised that Windows on ARM PCs, will be shipped simultaneously with PCs running Windows 8 on the x86/64 platform.
Budd added that the Windows and 64 bit reach-outs will complement ARM's late-2011 launch of the big.LITTLE technology – answering a key challenge: how to create single-chip systems that provide both high performance as well as extreme power efficiency. big.LITTLE combines the performance of the ARM Cortex-A15 MPCore processor with the energy efficiency of the Cortex-A7 processor, and enables the same application to switch between them, 'on demand'. Under ideal conditions, big.LITTLE can extend battery life by up to 70 percent, he said.
Guru Ganesan, Managing Director, ARM India Operation, said the India-based developers of ARM had contributed architecture validation for all current architectures including the v8. They were in involved in the full gamut of ARM's physical design from 20 nanometres to 180 NM, Ganesan added.

Background: The prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition in surgical patients is high, ranging from 10% to 54%. The correct assessment of the nutritional studies of such patients is crucial since malnutrition is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality. There is a substantial evidence to show that patients who have signs of malnutrition have a higher risk of complications and an increased risk of death in comparison with patients who have adequate nutritional reserves.
Methods: 150 patients were selected for the study. All the collected data was entered in Microsoft Excel sheet. It was then transferred to SPSS ver. 21 software for statistical analysis. Quantitative data was compared by using student's t-test and chi-square test, qualitative data compared using frequency, standard deviation and percentage. P<0.05 considered as significant.
Results: The mean serum albumin was found to be 3.7 gm%±0.3. There was increase rate of complication and duration of hospital stay in those patients with serum albumin <3.5 gm% and BMI>25 kg/m2 and wound infection was found to be the most common complication among these patients.
Conclusions: Majority of patients had serum albumin >3.5 gm/dl and more complications were seen with serum albumin <3.5 gm/dl which was statistically significant (p=0.01). Serum albumin is a good prognostic indicator because of its ability to detect protein energy malnutrition.

We provide 'Shade Matching' services in our 'In-house Clinic' that guarantees 'Accurate' tooth shades. 'Shade Matching' requires 'Natural Day Light' in an 'ideal' environment. Our 'Dental Technicians' have been on courses in the U.K and U.S including Dr. Larry Rosenthal for 'Shade Taking' which give us the correct information to produce exceptional 'Aesthetics' and 'Function' tailored to the patient.
'Digital Photography' plays a vital role in achieving 'Excellent Aesthetics', we use a variety of 'Technology' and equipment in our laboratory including, 'DSLR Cameras', 'Digital Microscopes' and photo imaging software. Our experience also extends to 'Clinical Photography' and 'BACD' protocols.
'Optident True Shade' is a 'Shade Matching' microscope that creates 'Natural Day Light' and allows us to see the adjacent teeth under 'Magnification'.
We liaise with the patient and speak about there 'Aesthetic' demands and use 'Vita' shade guides to find the perfect shade. This information is then photographed for reference and 'Digital Manipulation'. We can extract details of 'Shade', 'Shape' and 'Surface Texture' from the images and use a grey scale to match exact shades and contours of the adjacent teeth.
Grey scale works similar to that of x-rays, it is based on two distinct colours 'White & Black' (neutral colours) and is composed exclusively of shades of grey. This allows for the shade tab to match the adjacent teeth in the exact shade in terms of 'Saturation' and 'Hue' rather than relying on colour thus making it more accurate.
We provide short CPD presentations on shade matching and digital photography to practices for their associates, which covers product information, advantages, selling points, limitations and clinical support, please phone us to book a short presentation.

RE: BF527 Multi-cycle Instructions and Latencies. any document?
as VisualDSP++ 5.0 was released almost 3 years ago, there have been a number of bug fixes and improvements to the tools throughout the updates we have issues in that time.
The anomaly will appear in Rev D of the BF522/4/6 list and Rev F of the BF523/5/7 list. We anticipate that the updated BF522/4/6 list will appear online at the end of the month and the BF523/5/7 list will go online sometime next month.


As you all know, Andrey Solo Films specializes in Wedding Cinema. It's a niche we would like to continue. But there are cases when we get requests outside of our zone and that is completely fine with us. It's an honor to know we have couples who prefer to trust us in other formats outside of cinema.
In this case, we had Robert and Maria come to an agreement that they wanted us to specifically photograph their wedding day. I mean why not, right? Anyways, to many it's no surprise we can do photography too. Also, thanks for Nata K Photography for helping out. Down below we have chosen a few of their many amazing photos to share. We hope you will enjoy going through them as much as we did.


A 16-year-old boy, from Basingstoke, has been arrested on suspicion of two thefts from motor vehicles.
It comes following incidents in Carvella Close and Inglewood Drive in the early hours of Wednesday morning (January 16).
The teenager has been released from custody but remains under investigation as our enquiries continue.
We would like to take this opportunity to remind drivers to be vigilant in the area, report anyone acting suspiciously and double check that your vehicles are locked at all times.
We would also urge people to remove any valuables from their cars and vans.
It is also a good idea to log any serial numbers or distinctive features for any items you have, so that if you have to report a theft, you can give us these details and we can then try to match them to any items we might later seize.
It will just help us to reunite stolen items to you quicker.
If you have seen anyone acting suspiciously or if you have any information, please call us on 101.
If you have any information, please contact us on 101, quoting reference number 44190018277.

Please use the "Add Comment" button below to provide additional information or comments about port 5631.
Your information about port 5631 is incomplete. Port 5631 is an IANA registered port by Symantec for pcAnywhere.
pcAnywhere uses port 5631 for TCP communication to provide the remote control functionality. This is NOT the port that does the network scan for hosts as the information you have states or use the UDP protocol.
The other IANA registered port pcAnywhere uses is port 5632. This port uses the UDP protocol for host status messaging, ie waiting, busy, and IS used to do network scanning for waiting hosts, but only on the port that pcAnywhere is configured to use, default 5632. The ports are user configurable however.


Ma Yansong & MAD presented their installation, dubbed the Shanshui Experiment Complex at the the Shenzhen and Hong Kong Bi-city Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture. The elaborate model is based on Nanjing Zendai Thumb Plaza, the firm's new master-plan for the Chinese city. The model, and the proposal more generally, are indicative of the firm's commitment to meeting the demands of modern urban China through naturalistic architectural efforts. The name given to this approach is Shan-Shui City, a phrase that predates MAD but has been extensively developed through the designs of Yansong, the firm's founder. Its first two words translate as mountain and water, the two pillars of Chinese landscape painting. In the context of Yansong's practice these two representatives of the natural world are seamlessly incorporated into the urban context in which MAD operates. In doing so MAD attempts to distance itself from the notion that the man-made and natural environments exist on opposite ends of a strictly defined binary. In the Nanjing proposal the blurring of these lines results in a series of buildings that avoid the obscene heights of the new skyscrapers increasingly prevalent in 21st-century skylines. The shapely structures are imbued with an organic irregularity that allows them to meld with the surrounding atmosphere without trying to breakthrough it. Amongst these mountains curved pathways link plazas in which artificial and natural landscaping coexist and the distinction between the two is ambiguous. Here, the natural world is not relegated to strictly defined green spaces but is instead allowed to pervade every aspect of the urban environment. The aesthetics on display in the installation are very much in keeping with other MAD projects also conceptualized along Shan-shui principles. Situated within the Yangtze River Delta and surrounded by mountains, the rapidly growing city of Nanjing is a fitting location for the implementation of Yansong's methods. If all goes according to plan, MAD's creations should be added to the Nanjing landscape by 2017.

One day camping will be relaxing again, right?
Jun. 28, 2018 6:45 a.m.
My husband and I are avid campers.
Most weekends in the summer and even into the colder months we can be found in a campground somewhere. We started off camping in a tent with nothing more than blankets, a few camping supplies and our fishing rods.
While we both have a slightly different opinion on what camping is, my husband would prefer walking into the woods with an axe and playing survivalist for a week or two.
I prefer sitting by the campfire or lake with a good book a cold drink. We both finding camping very relaxing.
One time I compromised my way of camping for my husband and we tried the whole survivalist thing.
The compromise was that we would take a tent and minimal supplies but we were going to catch our supper.
At the time I thought this was a crazy idea because I've never seen a S'more frolicking in the wild or a pack of jiffy pop enjoying a stroll through a meadow and I eat both of them on every camping trip but I was willing to try things his way.
We spent all afternoon and evening of the first day sitting by the lake, rods in hand to no avail. We didn't even have a bite. Every time I reeled my hook in and there would be weeds attached I would joke that at least I caught the salad portion of the meal.
Later that evening we walked back to our campsite defeated, until I pulled a pack of hot dogs out I had hidden on the bottom of the drink cooler.
Moral of the story? Always pack an alternate food source. I may not hook a trout but I can catch a hot dog every time.
Then a few years ago we had gone up north for a camping trip and it poured rain. It rained for two straight days and our tent, blankets, clothes, everything was soaking wet.
I spent two days feeling damp and cold and I knew I was done tenting. While sitting in my tent in the pouring rain I could see other campers who didn't resemble drowned rats actually enjoying their camping experience.
Glamping is a term referring to "glamour camping," not the traditional idea of camping or camping with too many amenities.
He wasn't sold on getting a trailer and I really wanted one so the next year we purchased a small holiday trailer and camping in the rain and cold has become a much more enjoyable experience for me.
Fast forward a year or two and we are now camping with a toddler, a very mobile, very fast, very busy toddler. I thought camping would continue to be a relaxing experience, I was so wrong.
My days, which were once spent sitting on the beach sipping something cold, are now spent chasing Speedy Gonzales around a campground and trying to stop him from chewing sticks.
My son does not realize that when camping you are supposed to slow down and enjoy nature, not eat it. I don't even remember what fishing is, my son is so busy running around to look at and touch everything I can't even cast because he is running off somewhere.
My son finishes each day camping exactly the way I feel a child should, exhausted from playing and fresh air, covered in dirt and sand and sticky from marshmallows around the campfire.
And as he sleeps in the trailer my husband and I finally get a chance to sit for five minutes and relax and my husband will talk about when our son is little older and has the patience to sit and fish with him.
I look forward to those days as well because it means I may get the chance to once again sit on the beach sipping a cold drink while watching my husband and son catch our supper.

D3 Champs Rise from Past Tourney Troubles
Boys Bowling, Girls Bowling
Posted Friday, March 1, 2019
By Steve Vedder
Special for Second Half
MUSKEGON – Emily Feldten clearly remembered the conversation she had with her coach as the Division 3 girls team bowling championships came down to the final three shots.
The Coloma junior had assured coach Carley Burrell she could be counted on to handle the team's anchor position in Friday's Final against second-seeded Birch Run at Northway Lanes.
"I was up for it," Feldten said.
And she showed it in dramatic fashion, as Coloma edged Birch Run 1,112-1,104. Down 14 pins after the match's two Baker games, Coloma, helped by two strikes in Feldten's final three shots, finished off a furious rally to win its first MHSAA title since 2010.
Burrell said she quietly pulled Feldten aside before deciding on her Finals lineup to make sure the junior – who has been part of teams ranked No. 1 at the end of the regular season the last three years – was mentally up for the challenge.
It proved to be a monumental decision.
"She knew what we needed," Burrell said. "I talked to her about (the anchor spot), and pressure can be scary. I wanted to know if she could handle it. I knew she was a pressure bowler."
Feldten said the scenario played out so quickly, she didn't have time to think too much about her final chance.
"It's an awesome feeling to get the result the team wanted," she said. "We all worked so hard for this. It's unbelievable for us right now, shocking."
The championship capped a three-year run by virtually the same core of bowlers who have torn up the regular season but failed to get out of the qualifying block of the Division 3 tournament the last two years. Burrell said her bowlers fully recognized this was their last chance.
"They knew this was it, that there weren't going to be any second chances," she said. "This was going to have to be the year it would happen. It came down to a matter of handling obstacles one at a time.
"We knew what the end goal was, and they accomplished it phenomenally. "
Gladwin won the boys title with a 1,229-1,152 win over Ogemaw Heights in a matchup of the tournament's top two seeds after qualifying.
Like Coloma's girls, Gladwin used past stumbles in the tournament as motivation this season. The team featured three seniors and two juniors in the lineup, many who returned from a 2018 Finals where Gladwin failed to make the first cut.
"This is definitely something we sought all year," Gladwin coach Kent Crawford said. "We've been undefeated in our conference (Jake Pine) for the last three years, and winning a state championship is always something we've strived for.
"We've had teams tell us all year we could go far in the tournament, and we've seen that."
Two of the team's four-year seniors, Ryan Day and Cody Roehrs, said two things helped the team finish the run Friday. One was overcoming the frustration of last year's event, and the second was not letting a brutal Michigan winter interfere with their regimen.
"We used (last year) to fuel us and make us do the best we could and win it for the three seniors," Roehrs said. "This is amazing, a crazy dream. We just got together as a team and said winning this is the biggest thing. We're like a family out there."
The team missed as many as 10 practices and a couple of weekend tournaments because of the inclement weather. Such an all-over-the-road schedule could have wrecked the momentum of many teams, but it didn't faze Gladwin, Day said.
"It was tough not practicing sometimes, but we're so passionate about bowling that snow days wouldn't affect us," he said. "Everything we did was to work toward this."
Crawford said it can be argued the lack of practice actually did the team some good.
"We'd have two weeks off from matches at times, but that's true of all teams," he said. "I do think it made us aware of practicing, and that we had to be serious about it."

Your DNA test results are ready in 7-10 working days from the receipt of your samples.
Timeframe: 7-10 working days from receipt of samples at our office.
Our Grandparent DNA testing service (also called a missing parent test) will establish whether you are really the biological grandparents of your grandchild or grandchildren. Your DNA test results are ready in 7-10 working days from the receipt of your samples. Samples are collected painlessly and quickly using our home sample collection kit. Note that we require the samples of both grandparents to carry out this test.
We would recommend a grandparent test in cases where grandparents need to know if they are really related to their grandchild. Results of this test determine the statistical probability that a person is the biological grandparent of a grandchild. Very often, our clients will actually carry out this test instead of a paternity test. A paternity test requires the samples of the alleged father and child but sometimes, the alleged father might not be willing or available for testing. In this case, we can take the DNA from both the paternal grandmother and grandfather and compare their DNA to that of the alleged father's child to establish a biological relationship. Grandparents and grandchildren will share 50% of their DNA. If the results show the grandparents are not related to their grandchild, then this indicates that the alleged father is also unrelated to the child.
International Biosciences supplies you with a home sample collection kit which can be used for self-sampling in the comfort of your own home. You can collect your DNA samples using the mouth swabs we provide in our kit. You will have 4 swabs for the grandfather, 4 swabs for the grandmother and 4 swabs for the alleged grandchild. The swabs are found in colour coded envelopes and each test participant is allocated a specific colour to make things as easy as possible.
Do I need samples from both grandmother and grandfather?
Our Grandparent DNA testing requires the samples from both grandmother and grandfather. Some companies offer grandparent testing with just the sample of the grandmother or grandfather but having just one sample runs a considerable risk of getting an inconclusive result. At International Biosciences, we won't ever compromise the accuracy of a result and will thus, only suggest a grandparents test if we have samples from both grandparents. If one grandparent is deceased, we suggest you consider another test. Click here to view our full list of tests.
Why do I need the sample from the grandmother and grandfather?
Our laboratories use very advanced DNA testing technology to reconstruct the profile of the missing alleged father. Using the DNA sample of both grandmother and grandfather, we can actually reconstruct the profile of the alleged father. We can then compare reconstructed profile to the profile of the child.
What if grandfather and grandson are being tested?
Due to the fact that the Y-chromosome is found solely in males and males from the same paternal line will share the same Y-chromosome profile, a Y-chromosome test is a great tool to confirm whether two or more males share a common paternal line. For example, a grandfather will share the same Y-chromosome profile with his biological grandson. Father and son will also share the same Y-chromosome profile. This inheritance pattern makes a Y-chromosome test very reliable and accurate. Read more about our Y-chromosome test.

Don Winslow: Becoming Trevanian (Sort Of)
Today I welcome Don Winslow. Don's contribution to our Partners in Crime series is unique. His 'partner' is the late Trevanian. It's not every day one 'writes' with a partner who is no longer living. In Don Winslow's latest novel, SATORI, Don has written a prequel to Trevanian's landmark thriller SHIBUMI. In SATORI, Don uses the character of Nicholai Hel, the world's most skilled assassin, as he journeys to Beijing to commit what he hopes will be his final act of violence. The novel is set in the 1950s against a backdrop of major political and social upheavals in Laos, China, & Vietnam:
It is the fall of 1951, and the Korean War is raging. Twenty-six-year-old Nicholai Hel has spent the last three years in solitary confinement at the hands of the Americans. Hel is a master of hoda korosu, or "naked kill," is fluent in seven languages, and has honed extraordinary "proximity sense" - an extra-awareness of the presence of danger. He has the skills to be the world's most fearsome assassin and now the CIA needs him.
I wasn't able o put SATORI down. What's so terrific about this novel is how Don Winslow is able to capture Trevanian's style and characters while imbuing the novel with his own action and narrative. SATORI is at once physical and contemplative, imbued with Eastern philosophy and martial arts. It's about war, and it's about salvation. I shouldn't be surprised at the depth of this novel. Don Winslow is an incredibly versatile writer. I thought his last novel, Savages, was fabulous, and had it on my top 10 for 2010. Mystery Readers International, NorCal chapter, was lucky enough to host Don Winslow at a Literary Salon last Spring. He's as impressive in person as he is on the page!
So I asked Don to write something for Mystery Fanfare about the writing process.. how do you get inside the skin of another writer and his characters.
DON WINSLOW:
Becoming Trevanian (Sort Of)
A couple of years ago now, I got an e-mail asking if I'd like to be Trevanian.
Who wouldn't? I answered.
Sophisticated, urbane, man-of-the-world.
While we're at it, I'd like to be James Bond, too. Or Brad Pitt or Tom Brady or Conan O'Brien, but that ain't gonna happen either.
Then they got more specific and inquired if I'd be interested in writing a prequel to Trevanian's iconic thriller, Shibumi, featuring one of the greatest characters in the genre, Nicholai Hel.
Now we had something to talk about. I had read Shibumi (along with about 2,000,000 other people) and was a great admirer of the book and the author. I had even started playing Go in emulation of Hel, although he was a master and I was. . .not. (I'm not good at board games. Like meditation, they require long periods of sitting and concentration.)
The prospect of 'taking up' a character like Nicholai Hel was intriguing.
I re-read Shibumi several times and felt that I had a pretty good understanding of the character. Here was a Westerner who was raised in Asia and had absorbed that culture into his being. I'd had similar experiences, although not as intensely. But I thought that I could 'meet' Hel on that level. I'm decently well-read on Asian history, especially in the twentieth century, so I thought I could meet him there as well. Hel was a martial arts expert. I am clumsy, uncoordinated, and have been told by friends that I walk like a broken duck, but I have studied the 'arts' for decades. I thought I could meet him there.
The real challenge would be Trevanian himself.
His voice is so strong, unique, sui generis.
I know it would be both impossible and undesirable to try to 'do' him. An attempt at imitation could only lapse into bad parody, and I didn't want to even risk an insult like that to a writer I greatly admire.
In my own interest, I didn't want to come across like a fool or a buffoon.
I had to walk a narrow path – respect Trevanian's style and substance while giving it my own voice.
Okay, great.
'Becoming' Trevanian was a matter of 'becoming' Nicholai Hel. It's what we had in common, it was at the point of the character that I could meet Trevanian and merge my voice into his. I found that as long as I viewed the world through Nicholai's eyes, I could see the world through Trevanian's, and the voice would follow.
I'm not saying that this was easy. Trevanian had a very specific world view, with which he endowed Nicholai. Iconoclastic, elitist, torn between his Western roots and his Asian upbringing, Nicholai could often be self-contradictory.
But contradictions make for interesting fiction, no?
Here was an honorable man caught in a dishonorable situation. A deeply human person who accepts a mission to kill other humans. A man who, in fact, must kill to save his own life.
The key in writing him was (as in all fiction) to focus on what Nicholai wanted.
To keep, as it were, our mutual eye on the prize.
He wanted his freedom, but to be truly free he had to achieve satori.
Enlightenment.
He had to see life as it really is.
When we meet Nicholai in the 'real-time' sections of Shibumi, he's his adult self, a fully-realized man who knows who he is and sees life for what it is.
Not so with the Nicholai I picked up in Satori. Now he is in his mid-twenties, and has just emerged from three years of solitary confinement. He literally doesn't know the world – it is strange and new to him. He is unused to the company of other people, much less the love of a woman.
Nor is he the accomplished assassin we meet in Shibumi. He has only killed one man – his father-figure. He isn't close to being a master spy – the world of espionage is unknown to him.
He has to be taught, he has to learn.
Some of these lessons come from other people – his French tutor Solange, his CIA handler Haverford, the Buddhist monk Xue Xin. But many of them are self taught, as Nicholai is famously an auto-didact. (He taught himself Basque – Basque – in prison.) He needs to discover things for himself, to place them in his own context, often in the form of a Go board.
And always, he uses these lessons to strive for satori.
This was the road map through what otherwise might have been a jungle. When lost – as I often was – I reminded myself of what Nicholai wanted, and then I tried to see the goal through Nicholai's eyes. How would he respond to challenges, to obstacles? What would he learn that would help him on his way? How would he see those lessons, and how would he use them?
Most importantly, how would Nicholai uniquely react to situations, in a way that no one else would?
If I've made this seem like a chore, I didn't mean to. It was tremendous fun. How could you spend time with a person like Nicholai Hel and not have a great time? I felt like I'd been given a gift, and every day was Christmas morning. If you get up knowing that you get to work on Satori, you know you're going to have a good day.
Look, I don't think that I ever became Trevanian.
I wouldn't presume to.
One-of-a-kind means just that.
There's only one.
But I do hope that I did the man proud.
The nice thing about walking in larger footsteps is that you can put your foot inside them without messing up the imprint itself.
So if you look down this particular stretch of beach, you'll see one set of footprints –with mine inside them.
Becoming Trevanian, sort of.

TREVANIAN is the pseudonym under which Rodney Whitaker (1931-2005) wrote popular fiction in a number of genres. He worked as a shoe-shine boy, a crop-picker, and a carnie before serving as a naval teacher in the Korean War. After the war he went into theatre as an actor, playwright and director, and became a leading academic in the field of communications. With the instant success of his first novel, The Eiger Sanction, he turned to writing full time. He moved to the Basque mountains, where he wrote Shibumi, creating one of the thriller genre's best-loved characters, Nicholai Hel. Among his novels are a Western, Incident at Twenty-Mile, and a semi-autobiographical novel, The Crazyladies of Pearl Street.

Shibumi was fantastic.
Satori was pretty good too.
I would like to see the Jonathan Hemlock character in print in a third book.

Don Winslow's SATORI has been described in a number of corners (including one occupied by the author himself) as a prequel to SHIBUMI, the much beloved espionage novel by Trevanian. Following its publication in 1979, many readers clamored for a sequel from Rodney Whitaker, the man behind the Trevanian pen name. None was forthcoming, and Whitaker's passing in 2005 appeared to close the door on any such possibility.
SATORI is far from a sequel, and I wouldn't call it a "prequel" either. It would fit nicely within the boundaries of SHIBUMI as a flashback, given that it focuses on some of the hidden years of Nicholai Hel, the mystic and assassin who has captivated audiences for three decades. SATORI deals with the period of Hel's life from his imprisonment for the murder and liberation of his mentor to his initial revenge through his escape from Southeast Asia in the early 1950s.

I found this photo when I was organizing some of my pictures. It's a bento from a couple weeks ago that I forgot to post!
On the left is pizza cut into small bite sized pieces, and Goldfish crackers.
This is packed in a Sassy box with just one of the inner dishes used.
Just had to stop by and say I packed my first bento for myself yesterday and loved it! Thank you for the inspiration. I'm a teacher, so I only get about 20 minutes to eat after dropping off my first graders in the cafeteria and stopping at the restroom. Because of my limited lunchtime and desire to eat more whole foods, I am playing with bentos for myself. My first lunchbox is from laptop lunches, but I'd love to get another kind so I can rotate. (No dishwasher in the house.) Any info you have on bentos for grownups will always be appreciated (by me).
I taught for a few years before having children and I remember those very short and rushed lunch times (and not very fondly, either!).
Love your bento lunches. I'm fairly new to this but I'm looking forward to making these for my kids. I do have one question. Your lunches always look so healthy. I was curious as to your thoughts on msg. Is that something you worry about? We're trying to eliminate it as much as possible and it's so hard because it's in so much processed food. It's hard to find snack food for my kids lunches without it.
Love the ideas for bento lunches. Thanks so much for sharing. I do have one question. What are your thoughts on msg? We're trying to avoid it as much as possible but it's really hard to find any snack (processed) foods without it.
Hi Denise! We try to avoid it too, but it is SO hard! We can't afford to buy only organic packaged items (nor do we like all the organic variations of many things), so it is definitely a challenge. My husband gets headaches if he has too much of it, so that is concerning too!
I was appalled when I discovered awhile back that a Big Name nut company that also sells sunflower seed kernels adds not only salt to the kernels (which I don't mind at all - yum!), but also MSG!! Unbelievable! Sunflower kernels is not something that would even been on my radar for MSG "contamination". You definitely can't be too careful or make any assumptions about what sort of additives are in packaged food, that's for sure. :( Luckily there are plenty of non-Big Name companies selling natural sunflower kernals without unnecessary additives, but that's not the case with everything. Too often finding healthier substitutes is just impossible. I quit buying "fruit" snacks about a year ago and started buying only fruit leather and occasionally the Annie's brand of organic bunny fruit snacks... but my older boys are not fans of these substitutes. They both complain bitterly over the lack of "fruit" snacks in their lives.
Mostly I focus on weeding out HFCS and especially PHO's and limiting artificial colors.... we are not perfect and this stuff still needs in. But we are trying.
