OUR VIEWS

It is our position that if the answer to our current economic malaise were as simple as taking money from productive folk to subsidize “technology” that would otherwise fail in a free economy, it would in fact be simple enough for Washington’s “fixers” to manage. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. There is socialism and there is capitalism. History is very definitive on which system succeeds and which ultimately crashes and burns. It seems to be the point of view of our vice president that subsidizing manufacturing companies to produce electric car components and then subsidizing buyers of electric cars will assure a bright future. We disagree and believe the free market is the only measure of success of any enterprise. For now, electric cars have not and likely will not be successful on their own merits. Is there a big demand by car buyers for very small vehicles that will need a lengthy recharge every 40 miles or so? With our federal debt closing in on the level that has caused turmoil in Europe, we believe that our representatives in Washington should refuse to rubber stamp the president’s request to once again raise the debt limit.

Welcome home

It is our position that the arrival of the to-bebuilt Mormon Temple in Carmel located at 116th Street and Spring Mill Road reflects not only the growth but also the expansion in ethnic and religious pluralism Hamilton County has embraced these last many years. With the nearest Mormon temples currently in Chicago, St. Louis, Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, we find it a sign that Hamilton County continues to appear prominently in the national spotlight. Whether the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints expresses a point of view consistent with those already living in our fine home county, we are pleased that church leaders know this place is friendly and broad-minded. Aren’t the growth of a community and the diversity of its people directly linked? Fine schools, family friendly neighborhoods, low taxes, high employment and great amenities – all describe reasons why folks seek a home here. Over the last few years, many churches, temples and synagogues have built or expanded their presence. We are pleased by the location of the uncommon edifice here, and we look forward to it and its members contributing, as those religious institutions that have come before it, to the vibrancy and character of our hometown.

Not only were the volunteers enthusiastically helpful at every turn, they were emblematic of how this community comes together to pull off major feats; that, as much as anything swirling around the unpaid helpers’ efforts, was incredibly inspiring.

The Gala Celebration for the opening of The Palladium at The Center for the Performing Arts was, from start to finish, an event to behold. So much pinpoint planning went into making the Jan. 29 production a truly memorable evening (and Jan. 30 a seriously memorable morning for those who partied on until 2:30 a.m.). The cocktail reception and dinner, chaired by Rosemary Waters of Carmel International Arts Festival directorship fame, and her co-chair, Jeryl Mitch, was lively, colorful and delectable. The performances by Michael Feinstein, Cheyenne Jackson, Chris Botti, Dionne Warwick and Neil Sedaka were nothing short of brilliant. The acoustics in the hall were blow-away perfect. We especially were fond of the Broadway touch co-emcees Feinstein and Jackson injected into “Me and My Shadow,” their final number together. The after party was something of a mind-bender, with all manner of folks jetting from room to room to listen to cabaret, jazz and rock music, as well as karaoke, as omelet stations fed the famished. Throughout, energy abounded. To our untrained eyes, it all came off without a hitch. For that, praise also should go to Gary Frey, the executive director of CarmelFest, who had the responsibility of rounding up volunteers and getting them prepped for a night

Exceptionally optimistic COMMENTARY By Terry Anker Last week, I escaped the winter to abundantly sunny Santa Barbara to participate in a conference as a part of the 100th birthday celebration of Pres. Ronald Reagan. The purpose of the colloquium was to consider Reagan’s changing perspective on a number of topics including liberty, shared prosperity and the U.S. role in the world order. We were assigned to read a number of speeches presented by the “great communicator” and a few additional analyses from academics and pundits, both supportive and critical, of the president. My age allows that many of the remarks I had witnessed live, along with the rest of the world, as they were delivered. But the earlier ones, including those given during the years that he was an active Democrat and leader of the Hollywood union, the Screen Actors’ Guild, were new to me. In 1957, speaking to the graduating class of his alma mater, Eureka College in Illinois, Reagan said, “This is a land of destiny and our

forefathers found their way here by some Divine system of selective service gathered here to fulfill a mission to advance man a further step in his climb from the swamps.” Then in 1964 he called America the “last stand on Earth.” By 1974, in a world tired of guerrilla war in Southeast Asia, he claimed, “Our heritage does set us apart.” Throughout his life as both a private and public man, he believed that America was different; some call it exceptional. Was he onto something or simply chauvinistic? Can we frame our lives as merely striving to escape our sinful and evil selves? Or is it better said to imagine that we are striving towards our innate best and most productive destiny? Perhaps it is “exceptionally” optimistic, but I embrace the latter. Thank you, Mr. President, and Happy Birthday. Terry Anker is an associate editor of Current Publishing, LLC. You may e-mail him at terry@ currentincarmell.com.

Editor, Thank you for publishing the article on bullying which happened at the Carmel High School/Ben Davis basketball game last week. It is just inexcusable these actions happened. Now we ask ourselves; 1. Were the girls asked (forced, actually) to leave the game? If not, why not? 2. Did the girls have their phones taken from them to prevent Twitters? If not, why not? 3. Were the girls prohibited from being on Facebook for at least a week? If not, why not? 4. Were the girls required to write a letter of apology to Carmel High School? If not, why not? 5. Were the girl’s parents notified this event even took place? If not, why not? 6. Have the girls been barred from sporting events for the rest of the year? If not, why not? 7. Are the girls enrolled in social skills classes? If not, why not? 8. Have the girls been drug tested? If not, why not? The author asks, civility is taught at home, right? Obviously not for these girls or 99 percent of high school kids. CHS also had the obligation to escort the girls out of the game and call their parents. If this did happen, it was not reported in the article. The girls’ parents need to step up to the plate and make sure appropriate discipline/punishment is in place. CHS also needs to step up and teach the kids, this behavior is not acceptable and if kids continue to exhibit this behavior, they will not be allowed to participate in sports or attend sporting events. One of the culprits of this behavior is dress. The dress code at Carmel High School is not enforced; girls dress like pole dancers and boys dress like thugs. Bullying will not stop as long as kids are allowed to dress as pigs and get away with it at school. Terry Coyle 46032

Wondering if I will ever really retire COMMENTARY By Danielle Wilson I am so my mother. We have different coloring, sure – she’s more auburn than red and has brown eyes – but we have the same build, the same interests, and very similar personalities. Doo even calls me “Patty” whenever I buy a $100 sweater on sale for $2.89 or put away slightly dirty dishes. (My mom is known for her bargain-finding skills and somewhat sub-par kitchen sanitation standards.) And the older I get, the more like her I become. It’s like having my own crystal ball. So I just don’t know how to feel when I see my mom still working, even though she technically retired in June. She was a public school teacher for 30 years, took a few months off, and is now back on board as a social studies mentor for the county and a student-teacher advisor for the local university. My retired mother is in a classroom somewhere in the city three to four days a week. And my dad’s the same way. He stepped down from the circuit court bench a couple of years ago but continues on as a supposedly “part-time” senior judge, though he’s still in a courtroom almost daily. You’d think after finally reaching the age

where they can kick back and enjoy the grandchildren, my parents would have relished the no schedule, no routine of retirement. But the fact is, they love going to work. More precisely, they love what they do. Dad even told me that after his five-year senior status tenor is complete, he’s going to hang out his shingle and practice law again. He’ll be over 70! And Mom said that this summer, when she doesn’t have any teachers to work with, she’s going to grade AP history exams and hopefully, fingers crossed, work as a gown consultant at the bridal boutique down the street. (That’s something else we have in common – an addiction to TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress.” Gotta love Randy!) Huh? Where’s the downtime? Where’s the “I worked for 40 years so I don’t have to now” mentality? And why do I have a sneaky suspicion that I will be the same way? It all boils down to this: My parents are some of those few people who truly have a passion for their careers, and they aren’t going to let a silly little thing like age keep them from pursuing those passions. Plus, working keeps them young. They wake up each morning with a purpose, with the opportunity to engage in the world and make a difference. Without question, if they

had nothing to do, they’d age 10 years in a matter of weeks and probably kill each other out of sheer boredom. And that certainly wouldn’t earn them any employee of the month awards. Not that it’s all work – Mom and Dad actually leave tomorrow for a three-week cruise around Tahiti – but they certainly are not your typical social security collectors. Hell, they’re still contributing! And to be honest, I’d much rather have my parents busy and productive and fulfilled than have them morph into meddling, bitter, unhappy old people because they no longer feel needed or useful. So I suppose this entire revelation means I need to make peace with the fact that, like my mom, I will never really retire. And that’s probably a good thing, since spending a month in the South Pacific sounds pretty good to me. “I’m gonna wash that man right out of my hair!” (Did I mention Mom and I adore Broadway? I am so my mother.) Peace out.

More help for local families than I realized VOLUNTEERS By Jeff Worrell I stand corrected. Loudly corrected by several of you. Although a recent column of mine was factually incorrect, I couldn’t be happier. In my column a few weeks ago, I reported on a local Girl Scout troop that was working on a project to benefit the Dayspring Center. I reported incorrectly that Dayspring is the only shelter in our area that will serve families. Moms, dads and children. Just one shelter in all of Indianapolis to handle families? I should have known better. That statement couldn’t be further from the truth, and now is my chance to correct it. Because of this error, I now know someone out there is actually reading my column and cares enough to contact me and let me know about the mistake. I also have the privilege to shine a little light on the other shelters open and ready to assist those in need from our area. There are actually seven nonprofit emergency shelters willing to provide food and shelter on a temporary basis. Dayspring Center (317-6356780) is the organization receiving the help from the Girl Scouts. These are the others: • Center for Women & Children (317-687-3630) • For God So Loved the World (317-945-4869) • Interfaith Hospitality Network (317-261-1562)

• Queen of Peace Missionaries of Charity (317-916-6753) • Salvation Army Social Service Center (317-637-5551) The seventh facility is a place called Holy Family Shelter (317-635-7830). Tom and Ruth Kueper and Tom and Judy Steiner from Carmel have experience working there. For 22 years, both couples have prepared a meal for the residents on a monthly basis. “We went there the fourth Saturday of every month to fully prepare the food, wash the dishes and clean up afterwards. It was a great experience for us to help out and see the good things being done for the families,” Tom Steiner said. Tom Kueper told me about his involvement with the mobile medical facilities that go to the shelters on a regular basis. “Ruth and I volunteer with Genesarett on a monthly basis. Ruth is a nurse and I serve as a Clerk. I am amazed by all of the resources put forth to help people in need and in trying to break the cycle of poverty.” From my error comes the opportunity to prove there is more good going on than I thought. Use the phone numbers above and let my mistake change a life, maybe yours. Jeff Worrell is a local businessman. He recognizes volunteers on “Connecting with Carmel” on cable channel 16.

Proposed development on west side headed to Planning Commission VIEW D : KID’S PLAY AREA

Crowley and Pittman said that the land was exempt from that particular agreement as it had been annexed much earlier than the new areas. In e-mails circulated to homeowners’ associations and neighbors that Current in Carmel has reviewed, Carmel-based developer and resident Robert Lauth also has expressed concern about the development. “In short, the proposed project would not only allow (for the first time ever) commercial uses on Spring Mill Road, which has always been held sacrosanct as a residential street, it would also allow an enormous amount of it. ... When totaled up it would equal somewhere between 1 million and 1.5 million square feet of space.

By Margaret Sutherlin Current in Carmel A proposal to develop the 63-acre parcel at the southwest corner of West 116th Street and Illinois Street in Carmel, often referred to as the Pittman Farm, is headed to the Carmel Planning and Zoning Board on Feb. 15. A source of controversy on the westside a few times before, the land is owned by Carmel resident Steve Pittman of Pittman Partners, a Carmel-based development company; the parcel has remained undeveloped for years after being zoned for agricultural and then for residential development. Proposed plans for development will have the land developed over several years, as many as 15, into a mixed-use property, including a grocery and gas station and a few retail options, along with business offices and eventually a housing option. At the Feb. 15 meeting the land in question is being proposed to become the PUD zoning classification, which allows the developers to write their own zoning plan and terms. Renderings have been attached to the ordinance by the developers, Gershman Brown Crowley, to ensure the integrity of the design and residential nature of the area is maintained. Tom Crowley, principal with GBC, said the plans were painstakingly studied and created to make sure develameriana.10.375x5.4.moneygrow:Layout opment of the site didn’t disrupt the westside.

Stories of the

Greatest Generation Senior Life Transitions discover incredible senior memories

By Margaret Sutherlin Current in Carmel In their particular line of work, Sean and Jan Tienhaara, owners of a senior-citizen moving company, Senior Life Transitions, could be mistaken as story collectors. They’re a dynamic and friendly couple: Jan a petite woman with dark hair and her husband, Sean, ever-smiling widely. Together they are the equivalent of a late afternoon cup of coffee: pure energy.

After Czechoslovakia easily was captured by German forces, Eva said her family’s situation only further deteriorated. “I remember living in a large apartment building and rather than running to the cellar during air raids, I’d sit in my window and watch them burst overhead. I wondered what they could have been thinking up there,” she said. “I especially remember when they destroyed Dresden. It was like Hiroshima: nothing left. It was an hour away by train from where we lived, and we could see it burning, like the sun was coming up on the horizon.” Eva and her family were relocated to former POW camps by the Russians at the end of the war, and were marked as Germans with a white armband they were required to wear at all times. She was separated for a year from her family. In a POW camp, Eva was alone and sent with the other young women to a particular bunker where the Russians “had their pick.” She takes no time moving forward in the story, though. “I won’t talk about that,” she said shaking her head and looking a little surprised she had even mentioned it aloud. Eventually out of the POW camp, she was reunited with her family as a refugee and moved to Germany. “It was right after the war when I first met Gale,” Eva said. A refugee living at an old luxury hotel that had been converted to apartments to accommodate a population influx, Eva and a friend decided on a whim to attend an afternoon tea dance. “It was not a time when we should have gone unescorted, but my friend insisted,” said Eva. “We got there and we saw these two Americans across the dance floor and one came over, and in

very poor German, asked if I would dance with him. Of course, at the time, I was not going to let on that I spoke perfect English.” Eva’s smile grows a little more mischievous and her eyes a little sadder as she recounts meeting her husband. “At the end of the dance, I told him ‘thank you’ in English. He almost passed out when I said that. We danced again and again, and again, and finally he asked me out on a date.” After some time, Eva and Gale became engaged, something that was as happy for her and her family, yet also a great challenge. She became the “American whore” in the small town, slandered and ridiculed for dating an American. “My parents didn’t mind him so much, especially because he was an officer,” she said. “But, oh, the town did mind.” Besides the name calling, frequent assaults with rocks, and the attack on her father, Eva remained steadfast and married Gale after taking her assailants to court, having them fined, and promptly donating the money to the Red Cross to care for other refugees. Meeting Gale, for Eva, appeared as a relief from war and a life in a constant state of uncertainty. The military life was stable, said Eva, and something she liked. She could raise her family, had fast friends, and was able to continue painting in her free time, and travel the world. Gale needed Eva’s strength as much as she needed the stability and love he offered her. Eva and Gale met and befriended the Tienhaaras as they made their transition to assisted living. Gale was quickly diagnosed with the late stages of pancreatic cancer, and died last July, only a few months shy of their 60-year anniversary. “Gale was so worried about Eva,” said Sean. “He was brave and said he was going to face death like he had every other challenge in life, but he did worry for her.” Eva still seems quiet about her situation. “He was just a good man,” she said. “That says so many things about him, and us.”

You’ve never seen this before By Brandie Bohney Current in Carmel Christy Clinton, the director of The Belfry Theatre’s upcoming production of “Don’t Talk to the Actors,” is a big fan of the play’s bard, Tom Dudzick. Such a fan, in fact, that when she found out about his latest show last year, she contacted him immediately asking to secure a copy to pitch for The Belfry’s current season. “I’m very fond of his writing, and I’ve been watching what he’s been putting out. When I saw this one, I inquired about it, and he actually emailed me a copy of the script pre-publication,” Clinton said. “That’s how I was able to propose it before it was published. So no one else is doing [the show], and I’m pretty excited about that.” Other than merely being the first theatre in the area – perhaps the whole Midwest – to be doing the show, there are other reasons to be excited about “Don’t Talk to the Actors.” The comedy centers around Jerry Przpezniak (played by Neil Eggeson), an unknown playwright discovered quite accidentally and thrust into the madness and pressure of Broadway. “He is a milquetoast hick from upstate New York; it’s kind of the big time for him,” Eggeson said of Jerry. “He’s taken in very quickly.” Jerry’s misadventures include his fiancé’s obsession with one of the actors in the play, the antics of a former lounge-act comedienne

New worship option in Carmel Current in Carmel Area residents have a new worship option with the recent founding and opening of the Beth Shalom temple in Carmel. Organized by several families loosely, Beth Shalom meets regularly as a few different locations as a new, progressive temple in the community. “We are structured a little differently than other congregations,” said Bob Epstein, a founding member. “We’re a bit more progressive and are smaller and more intimate with an intergen-

erational service.” Epstein said the travel time to various temples across the Indianapolis area and hope for a service slightly more contemporary in nature led to the founding. The first meeting of Beth Shalom was for the founders very well attended, with over 100 people visiting. The hope is that in the coming years the new progressive Beth Shalom will be able to find a permanent home and part time rabbi to lead services. For more information and to learn about services visit www.bethshalomindy.org.

Carmel High School graduation rate up Current in Carmel Carmel High School graduates in 2010 set the highest graduation rate ever at the high school, with nearly 95.32 percent of all seniors graduating. The total is 11 percent higher than the state average graduation rate. The number reported previously by the Indiana Department of Education has the graduation rate for CHS at 89.58 percent, which is incorrect due to clerical errors made during the reporting process. The IDOE has refused to

change their records. “This record-breaking number is evidence of the hard work and dedication of all the staff and students at Carmel Clay Schools. While we are extremely proud of these numbers,” said Dr. Jeff Swensson, Carmel Clays Schools Superintendent in a statement. “But, having these inaccuracies is a disservice to our students, staff, and community. Their hard work deserves to be acknowledged by, not only the school district, but the entire state – and country for that matter.”

Stop with the apostrophes GRAMMAR By Brandie Bohney I recently visited the doctor’s office. Don’t worry, faithful readers. I don’t have any dangling modifiers, and I’m not in need of a semicolonoscopy. Two signs in the office parking lot were in definite need of a delicate surgical procedure (one which could easily have been avoided with preventative care, by the way). An apostrophectomy. Yes, readers, the parking lot signs in question contained superfluous – and downright wrong – apostrophes. You may recall the annual plea I make to holiday card writers that they not make their family name possessive. I’m now making a plea to anyone who makes or requests signs. Especially signs of a permanent nature. Stop using apostrophes for plurality! The sign in question is the one you see in the photo. The question I have about this sign is this: Physician’s what? Using an apostrophe in Physician’s indicates possession, so you have to ask what it is that belongs to the physician that is allowed in the parking lot. Now, I have to tell you: the lot this sign graces has numerous parking spaces. And

since the sign only indicates one physician, I’m guessing it’s something pretty big. An elephant, perhaps? A helicopter? A yacht? There are two of these signs in the parking lot, but there are also other parking signs that are correctly punctuated: Ambulances Only, Visitors Only, and Patients Only. So someone knew how the signs should read. Why don’t they all read that way? Regardless, it’s a good reminder of two things: the importance of proofreading and apostrophes do not show plurality. Remember, apostrophes are used to show ownership of something (as in the case of Mark’s shoes or the children’s games or the shoes’ laces) or to indicate that letters have been left out (as in the case of contractions, such as you’ve or don’t). So if you just want to show that there is more than one of something, you don’t need the apostrophe. Brandie Bohney is a grammar enthusiast and former English teacher.

‘A Musical Housewarming’ means Carmel Symphony is moving in Margaret Sutherlin Current in Carmel The Carmel Symphony Orchestra has had plenty of time to prepare to make their move into the Palladium, over a decade’s worth. After much waiting and practice, and Artistic Director David Bowden and President and CEO Alan Davis are ready for the big night. Though they have had a few tuning rehearsals and the chance to perform on stage at the Palladium’s opening gala, on Feb. 12 the Palladium and music is all about the symphony. “This really is a celebration of our residency at the Center for the Performing Arts, but also we’ve combined it with our 35th anniversary,” said Davis. “It hasn’t been an easy road for us and it has been a long road.” The Musical Housewarming concert includes carefully selected music that Bowden hopes will reach all ears. In particular, CSO is looking forward to Shostakovich’s Festive Overture, which scatters brass musicians throughout the hall during the performance. “Shostakovich is an exhilarating and exciting piece for us, and one that is perfect for our tenure at the new Palladium,” said Bowden. Pianist Di Wu, who performed at the First Notes concert in November, will join the CSO for Tchaikovsky’s most famous piano concerto, Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor. Wu, whose intensity and passion for music is evident in both her ability and style, promises a stirring

performance. And Brahms’s Symphony No. 2 in D Major is also planned as one of Bowden’s signature pieces, and one he thinks most audience members will be able to connect with. It has been a thrilling and busy month for the orchestra, while in the midst of preparing for the February concert, they have also been busy performing at the opening gala for the Palladium. Performing with Dionne Warwick, Chris Botti, Michael Feinstein and Cheyenne Jackson has been an adventure for the CSO and one that Davis and Bowden won’t soon forget. “In every way I think that the gala was a spectacular success,” said Bowden. “It was a dream

to work with artists like that. I think we are a great orchestra and play as well as anyone else. I think this Palladium show will really show off who we are. People who come and hear us for the first time ever or in awhile will hear an obvious difference. We are a great orchestra.” “It was magic to see our musicians making music with legends you only see in the magazines,” said Davis. “As president, I’m most excited to sit and hear the orchestra play in such a majestic venue, and a venue that is our home.” While the first concert in the Palladium for CSO is sold out, visit www.carmelsymphony.org for more information and tickets.

Dinner and dancing followed the concert, and party goers from the gala and wider community had the chance to hear to a variety of live bands and dance the night away on the stage of The Palladium during the after party Encore Celebration.

Give your sweetie a Valentine’s Day meal with swagger COMMENTARY By Jonathan Kirchner With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, millions of people are beginning to search for the perfect reservation or recipe to make their special day most memorable. Whether you are taking your special someone out for dinner or celebrating with a home-cooked meal, I’ll leave you with a couple of great menu ideas that will be sure to please your loved one over this special weekend. I believe the first course always makes a huge impact on the rest of the meal. My wife and I have always loved oysters on the half shell accompanied by a champagne or sparkling wine. I favor Chesapeake Bay blue point oysters, and I almost always pair them with Moet & Chandon Imperial Champagne from France or Domaine St. Michelle sparkling wine from Washington state. Or, you could try oven roasted Dungeness crab-and-artichoke dip (see accompanying recipe). For the second course, I would recommend either a soup or a salad. If you would like to continue your meal on the lighter side, a nice spring greens salad with red-wine vinaigrette is a perfect choice. If you would like something a little more decadent, I would suggest lobster bisque with crème fraiche, or if you’re a vegetarian, tomato basil soup always is a sure hit. Entrée choices are usually the toughest, especially if you each prefer something different; this is why many couples prefer to dine out on the holidays. One of my favorite special-occasion dishes is Filet Wellington, and I would recommend pairing this with Chateau St. Michelle Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. If you prefer seafood, I find seared sea scallops with scallop butter and cilantro oil paired with Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay is a great choice. Being a native of the Pacific Northwest, I’m always a sucker for salmon, and I’ve recently turned to an old favorite, peppercorn-crusted salmon with honey beurre blanc. You can go either white or red with this dish, but up in Seattle, we like to pair salmon with Pinot Noir,

serves 4 Ingredients: • 1/2 lb of Dungeness or King Crab meat • 1/2 qt. Hellman’s mayonnaise • 1/2 lb Artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped • 4 oz. Powdered parmesan cheese • 4 oz. Yellow onions, sliced paper thin and quartered Garnish: • 3-4 Toasted croutons • Italian parsley • 1 lemon Directions: In a large mixing bowl, combine crab meat, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese and onions. Place mixture in a large baking dish and heat crab dip to 140 degrees. Remove from oven and garnish with 1 teaspoon minced Italian parsley, coarsely chopped croutons and juice of ½ lemon.

so I would suggest either Erath or Willakenzie Estate, both from Oregon. The finale is just as important as the prelude, so remember that a sweet tooth is also one of the fastest ways to one’s heart. Chocolate? Pretty much a no-brainer; I am a huge fan of the molten-center chocolate cake. Crème brûlée is another timeless favorite with whipped cream and seasonal berries. If you want to finish off in true Valentine’s Day fashion, keep that bottle of champagne on ice and finish the other two glasses with chocolate-covered strawberries. I wish all of you a happy and romantic Valentine’s Day.

great harvest bread company

Owner, Great Harvest Bread Co. Where do you like to eat? “Naked Tchopstix.” What do you like to order there? “I like the Maui Roll and the Playboy Roll. The Playboy Roll comes in foil and on fire.” What about the restaurant do you like? “The quality is phenomenal. It’s very fresh. The servers are friendly. They smile. It’s a comfortable environment. Naked Tchopstix 3855 East 96th Street Indianapolis, IN 46240 (317) 569-6444

Great Harvest is, first and foremost, a bakery. But beyond bread, the store offers sweets, sandwiches, soups, catering and coffee. Mike Lubin owns the store with his wife Dia. “All those things together were appealing to me as a business owner.” Lubin said. Located just north of Carmel Drive on Old Meridian Street, Great Harvest is located in a booming area. “We looked at 30 spots for the business. There’s a nice combination of residential, medical and offices in this area.” Lubin said. The store opened in June of last year, bringing a new and unique option to Carmel. “Everything is made from scratch. We mill wheat here in the store daily. That’s what differentiates us. We’re adding a healthy option to the community.” Lubin said. One of the store’s most popular breads is their Honey Whole Wheat version. “Our staple bread is the honey whole wheat. It’s good for everything.” Lubin said. Five simple ingredients go into the 100% whole grain bread: whole wheat flour, honey, yeast, filtered water and salt. Other popular options are Cinnamon Chip, Popeye and Cheddar Garlic breads. Great Harvest is also well-known for its sweets, including scones and cookies. Because only freshly-made bread is sold in the store, two donations of leftover bread and other products are made each week. One goes to Gleaner’s Food Bank and the other goes to Hamilton Village Church in Fishers. The store is located at 12505 Old Meridian Street. Great Harvest is open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. For more information, call (317) 575-8800 or visit www.carmelgreatharvest.com.

DISPATCHES » Untuck the button-down – Unless you’re 6’3” and 200 lbs. or less -- let the panels loose. The way buttondown shirts are cut, they simply do not flatter most male physiques – especially those of the average American male in his 30s. Yes, this might mean you. You have to be a lean, mean fighting machine to get away with the ultra tight tuck. And even then it rarely looks great. -www.manofthehouse.com » Use plumping creams – Moisturizers with peptides or retinol stimulate collagen to plump skin, says David Bank, MD, a dermatologist in New York.

Celebrity makeup artist Darac suggests going for one that has holographic properties such as “nanospheric optics” shaped in hearts, clovers, and stars (“When light hits them," he says, "it bounces off in different directions and tricks the eye.”) He also recommends choosing skin-perfecting makeup with hyaluronic acid, which “provides hydration and protects skin from the dryness of fall and winter.” -www.elle.com

Know thy decorating self

DECORATING By Vicky Earley Whether you’re a beginner in interior design or seasoned professional, knowing your innate interior decorating style can help you focus on the pieces which will work to polish a room and which pieces to leave at the store. If you are a do-it-yourself beginner, just knowing the basic interior design styles, casual, formal, contemporary and traditional, is a start. When rooms ramble between these styles, the result can become cluttered and chaotic. Without a doubt, traditional style remains the most popular for decorating. If a classic and refined look that is comfortable and inviting, your style probably has a traditional bias. This blend of gracious and inviting living evokes images of understated elegance and the grand style of the 18th and 19th century paired with warmth and classical comfort from our childhood homes. Before you if you equate traditional with stodgy, consider that there is a direction toward a fresher, more relaxed approach. If a trendier look is your comfort zone, your style might be modern or contemporary. While this style is easy to identify, it is one of the most difficult to execute. The clean lines, polished surfaces, strong geometric shapes and asymmetry of modern design can sometimes appear cold and uninviting. If done well, it can actually promote a sense of serenity to the room. If your tendency is contemporary, avoid going over the top and slowly incorporate modern pieces into softer elements to insure that your space remains polished but livable. If you long for a space that is homey, warm, comfortable, and inviting, your style is probably casual.

Current in Carmel

Casual rooms have simple details, textured elements in fabrics and accessories, soft upholstery, and arrangements that avoid perfect symmetry. Casual decorating includes the more specific styles of decorating such as Lodge/ Rustic, French Country, Cottage, and Shabby Chic If you find yourself longing for the feel of the lobby of Chicago’s Palmer House Hotel, your style is formal. While homes today are typically not constructed with 18” baseboards or elaborate carved plaster ceiling, there are elements of the formal style of decorating that can be added to the home of 2011. One of the most distinguishing features of interior spaces and homes decorated in a formal style is the symmetry of windows, furniture, artwork, and flooring. These elements are most often arranged in exact pairs on a straight axis around the room. Furniture and accessories look as though they’re adorned with hand-carved accents and gold leafing while pillows and draperies are dressed with tassels and trims. Lighting fixtures of crystal with delicate silk shades complete a formal look. Finally, match your colors with the interior design style you choose. When your decorating project is complete, you’ll see that the room has improved greatly when an appropriate color combination is paired with your interior design!

Benefits of Massage Therapy

• Hair • Skin • Nails • Massage

We use our muscles in everything we do. The act of standing still takes about 300 muscles alone, so imagine how many we put to use once our bodies are in motion. Just as we take measures to protect our heart health, our digestive health and even our skin, our muscles need rejuvenation as well. Regular exercise along with proper stretching will go a long way in keeping our muscles active and healthy, but a massage by a trained and experienced massage therapist can give your muscular system a boost that you won’t find on any treadmill or weight bench.

Winter Skincare While most of us focus on protecting skin in the summer, it is important not to neglect your regimen during the winter. Here are five tips for maintaining healthy skin through the colder months: 1-Continue to use SPF! Use at least SPF 15 to continue to protect your skin. 2-Exfoliate skin twice a week. This can help remove dry skin and uneven tone caused by exposure to the sun. 3-Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Winter air is dryer without the humidity of summer, so your skin needs extra nourishment to stay healthy. 4-To get rid of chapped lips, carry around a trusty tube of balm or Chapstick. Exfoliating lips lightly with a toothbrush can also get rid of dead skin on your pucker. 5-Stay hydrated and exercise! Besides the multitude of other benefits, doing so can help maintain a fresh and healthy glow.

Are you an obese person in a skinny person’s body? FITNESS By Laura Marenco When evaluating our health, whether or not we fit into our skinny jeans is not the best indicator. Recently we are learning that people can appear skinny on the outside, yet have a disproportionate percentage of body fat to lean body tissue inside. Experts have termed this as normal-weight obesity, because it has the same health risks. A study was recently completed by the Mayo Clinic over nine years for 6,000 men and women who had normal weight according to the body mass index. The participants’ body composition was assessed as well as health risk factors during the study. The study found that 20 to 30 percent of people considered normal weight have an alarmingly higher percentage of body fat than is considered healthy, which for women is below 30 percent and for men less than 25 percent. The study also found that those who had high body fat percentages also had much higher health risks, with high cholesterol an indicator for the No. 1 killer, heart disease, and higher rates of metabolic syndrome, which is a risk for type two diabetes. In reality, one could throw out their scale in

favor of a using body fat test as the important indicator for health or progress in fitness, or even in a weight-loss program, as weight loss is really about healthy body fat loss. A typical way to conduct a body fat test is a skinfold test using a caliper, which is pinches the skin on different areas of the body to estimate fat and is fairly accurate when conducted by a trained individual. While less than 30 percent for women and 25 percent for men is considered healthy, better goals for women is 14 to 24 percent, while men should try for less than 17 percent. A healthy body really comes down to its make up, not necessarily a scale indication. A person can be healthy carrying some extra pounds, with activity and good nutrition, and another seemingly skinny but sedentary person with poor nutrition habits can have serious health risks. Next week, more on how to avoid being an obese person trapped in a skinny person’s body.

The number of closed home sales decreased 6.6 percent to 57,765 but the median sale price of homes increased 1.8 percent to $112,000. The median price of homes increased in December 2010, making it the 13th month in the last 15 in which an increase occurred. » Brush: 3M a good buy – “The main thing that makes 3M a great company is that it never skimps on the funding needed to create innovation,” writes analyst Michael Brush. “It also has a big foreign presence, and 34 percent of revenue comes from emerging markets, where sales advanced an impressive 25 percent in the third quarter. Overall, 3M gets more than 60 percent of its revenue from outside the U.S., and about 58 percent of its employees work outside the U.S.” Most importantly, he says, the stock is affordable. -www.money.msn.com » Low-risk entrepreneurship – More people are starting part-time businesses, becoming entrepreneurs without the risk of quitting their day jobs. But “chicken entrepreneurship,” as it’s called, isn’t without challenges.

Sweet Inspiration BUSINESS By David Cain With an ice storm in full force, I came home early. I walked in the house after this ice-shortened day and was greeted by two little smiling faces both with a raging case of cabin fever. A warm welcome on a cold day, these two smiling faces brought leg hugs and smiles to my older face. I needed to go to the bank and decided, since it was only a quarter mile away, I would just walk. I told the girls that I was walking to the bank. My youngest says loudly and correctly, “It’s too cold!” My oldest daughter, and clearly the wiser one, shouts back, “He can do what he wants, he’s the Daddy!” The way she said it, hopping up and down, clapping, it was a gleeful statement. I felt like I should get someone to work on polishing my crown, I was the King of the Cains. It’s a safe bet that she didn’t learn that the Daddy could do whatever he wants from anyone else in my house. She had to be self-taught on that issue and I was a little proud of her. On my walk to the bank, I continued to think about what she’d said. I knew it, but had never really thought about it much, those little girls (or at least one of them) think a lot of me and pay attention to everything I do and say.

Was she really self-taught or was that the signal I was sending? In a world of web cams, social networks, location-based applications, and other secret, slightly creepy ways to watch others, you never know who’s got their eye on you. What other company is watching your company? What other person is watching what you do? Ever have a fleeting glance meet the eyes of someone else staring directly at you? Well, for every person that has a laser-like stare, there are a whole lot more people paying attention to what you are doing and, even if you know it, you don’t think about that much. I remember reading a book that contained a statement like, “Live your life like the whole world is watching.” I always remembered that paraphrased statement because I thought then, “Wouldn’t it be a better world if we all lived our life like the whole world is watching?” At least, I think now, I’m going to live mine like my whole world – two little girls – are watching.

Love starts with God, not us SPIRITUALITY By Bob Walters I love my wife, my kids, my family, my community, my church, my work, my home, my country. I don’t love my sin, my debts, my mistakes, my thoughtlessness, my impatience, my pride, my fear, my selfishness. Everything – and more – on the first list is a gift from God. Everything – and more – on the second is a function of my fallen humanness. As for the vagaries of health, wealth, family dysfunction, natural disaster, political turmoil and other things that blow hot and cold in our world, I think they provide context to learn when to call on God and when love matters most. With Valentine’s Day coming up, love is in the air. But what we should learn about love from God’s word, the Bible, is far different from the playful rituals of human romance celebrated

on Feb. 14. The “love chapter” in the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13 – recited often at weddings (Love is patient, love is kind,” etc.) – is lovely to read. Indeed, the chapter describes the necessity, characteristics and permanence of love. But parts of it make little sense unless we realize it’s not about marriage; the chapter is merely one part of St. Paul’s larger argument sternly warning the first century Corinthian Christians to knock off their pagan-like worship involving tongues and prophesy. It’s an argument for the sufficiency and totality of God’s love revealed in Jesus Christ (read Burton Coffman’s commentary on 1 Corinthians 13 for a most interesting perspective). Then, of course, there is the Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon) in the middle of the Old Testament (just after Ecclesiastes). This is firstrate poetry celebrating wisdom and love as gifts from God. It’s typically read as a steamy allegorization of human sex, or a description of God’s

relationship with Israel, or even a story of a maiden choosing a shepherd over King Solomon (he of 900 wives). I don’t favor allegorizing so much as a single word in the Bible (another topic for another day), but Song of Songs lyrically tells us that God beautifully authors both the emotional and physical joys of love. Perhaps the Bible’s clearest, simplest, shortest discourse on love is 1 John, especially chapter 4. Nothing in it about chocolate or flowers though; it says “God is love” (1 John 4:8, 4:16). Love starts with God. It’s His gift to us that we can share it with others.

Help for the cheating epidemic, part 3 RELATIONSHIPS By Rachael Noble Warning: These next few columns are a series on cheating. I will be sharing openly and not holding back on opinions. So fasten your seatbelts. Now, I mentioned earlier that I do believe women cheat probably nearly as much as men, but I’d like to cover the topic of men cheating in this round of columns. I’ve met quite a few cheaters in my lifetime. And it saddens me how much we “cover” for cheaters. For instance, I’ve been in situations where I knew a woman was being cheated on but because her husband was someone I do business with or because it was my boyfriend’s BFF or because I know no matter what, she wouldn’t believe the truth and would make excuses for him, I just never said anything. Shame on me! But unfortunately, I can’t say I would act any differently because well, what is a person to do? You’re the bad guy if you tell, right? I’ve watched people openly cheat with a room full of people who know the spouse and no one said anything at all! We all covered for this person because we didn’t want to be the grim reaper who broke up a marriage. I wonder what your thoughts are on the matter. Would you tell a gal if she was being

deceived? Are we as a society to blame for the cheating epidemic if we have a habit of not telling a person that they’re being cheated on? It seems as if our society has grown to believe that if you’re not getting what you want out of your marriage, it’s your “right” to go get your needs fulfilled outside of the relationship, even sometimes right in the open! So why do some men cheat? One could argue that the man who has a stay-at-home wife is more attracted to the “other side of the fence” – perhaps to the successful businesswoman. But I would bet if you take that same man out of his unhappy situation and put him with a businesswoman, he’d soon be complaining that his working gal doesn’t nurture him enough start wishing for his old situation again. Point is, a cheater is a cheater. Until he decides to change, he will always be looking on the other side of the fence and wanting the opposite of what he has, never satisfied with the status quo. More about this topic in part 4. Rachael Noble is a single Carmel resident and contributing columnist. She can be reached at nobleadvice@yahoo.com.

No more carding senior citizens HUMOR By Dick Wolfsie Do you look old? If you do, you’re in luck. I’m serious. Yes, the big news is that it may no longer be necessary to show your ID when purchasing a fifth of Jack Daniels. A proposed new state law appears to be a commonsense solution to the problem faced by senior citizens who relinquished their driver’s licenses only to find their AARP card was insufficient proof of their age when buying booze. The existing law doesn’t require the clerk to make a judgment about the customer’s age, so the cashier at Marsh or the 22nd Amendment has a stress-free job. Everyone is suspect of buying illegal booze. If this amended law passes, clerks will require an ID only if they think you look over 40 or 50. The exact number is still being deliberated, but there’s no debate where this is headed. I can see my wife’s face now … “Mary Ellen, what’s wrong? You look upset. Did something happen at the grocery store? “That kid at Kroger did NOT card me.” Cashiers will no longer be coached to simply query “paper or plastic,” but will require extensive guesstimation training, not unlike those savants at the State Fair who miraculously foresee your age, as well as your weight and the very month you were born. Supermarkets will end

up having to hire carnies at their registers. I was curious if this proposed change in Hoosier law mirrored other parts of the country. Apparently, Los Angeles has a similar ordinance, but I don’t care how big a fan you are of Hollywood stars or cosmetic surgery, you just can’t ask to see Joan Rivers’ license with a straight face. Personally, I enjoy it when I’m asked for proof of my age. It brings back memories of my youth when in order to enjoy a frosty brew at a local pub, I offered a very questionable ID, which couldn’t have been that questionable because no one ever questioned it. For my first two years of college, the bartender called me Eileen. It is odd that there are days when I need to prove I am over 21 in order to buy liquor and that very same evening I take advantage of the super-senior discount at the local movie theater. Someday, none of this will be a problem. We live in a world where young people strive to look older and old people desperately want to look younger. At some point, my theory is that everyone is going to look 35 years old. I think we can all drink to that.

Nobody really needs that many strippers HUMOR By Mike Redmond I was poring over the headlines the other day, trying to decide which news story would spark the most reader interest. Then I stumbled onto a story that I am pretty sure will be one of the most widely read this month, if not this year, and one that could have implications for Central Indiana as well. I speak of the crisis in Dallas, host of this year’s Super Duper Bowl, where there are reports of a grave shortage of … strippers. Yes. According to reports, the city known as Big D (how suddenly appropriate) has a shortage of pneumatic women who make their living in places euphemistically known as “gentleman’s” clubs by disrobing on small stages equipped shiny poles with which to “dance.” Estimates of a stripper shortage numbering in the thousands are ricocheting ‘round the Weird Wide Web in something akin to an oldfashioned game of telephone. Web site A posts a story saying a strip club owner wants to hire 100 extra entertainers for Super Bowl week. Web site B picks up the story and makes it 150. Web site C adds another 100 or so. And then, some genius at Web site D gets a bright idea called extrapolation and does the math: 100 extra strippers per club times the number of clubs in the Dallas area, and suddenly you’re seeing headlines saying that as many as 10,000 women are needed to fill the

lap dance gap. Which is just nonsense. According to Patrick Hruby, writing on ESPN Page 2, the Super Duper Bowl is expected to bring 150,000 visitors to Dallas. It seems highly unlikely that the city is going to need one stripper for every 15 visitors. He further points out that claims of these visitors unloading up to $600 million on the city seem rather, shall we say, optimistic to academic economists. The amount of loot they leave behind will be big, no doubt, but not $600 million big. Probably more like $200 million. And, to get back to the strippers, it won’t all be in one-dollar bills, either. Here in Central Indiana, of course, we are looking forward to our being host city for the Super Duper Bowl next year. Even as we speak people are running around sprucing up Indianapolis, the way your Mom used to get ready for company by making the house looked as though nobody actually lived there. Isn’t it nice to know we probably don’t have to worry about whether we’ll have enough strippers? I know I’ll sleep better. And now we can turn our attention back to the real news.

Remodeling a previous kitchen remodel

REMODELING By Larry Greene INITIAL SITUATION: This home in the Thornhill subdivision in Zionsville was built in the early ‘90s and included fairly low quality oak cabinets, drywall bulkheads and laminate countertops. The previous homeowner had tried to update the kitchen by adding a small island with a gas cook top, double ovens and new solid-surface countertops. While the owner wanted a larger and expanded kitchen, this option was found to be too expensive. The solution was to remodel the previous remodel and keep the footprint of the room as is. ISLAND UPGRADES: The existing island contained a relatively new Viking gas cook top. The problem was there was no ventilation and the size of the island was too small to allow any prep or usable counter space. The solution was to salvage the cook top but move it to the perimeter to allow a larger Cambria quartz countertop on the new island. The island cabinetry was enlarged and relocated and includes new semicustom mitered doors in cherry wood with a brandy stain. NEW DECORATIVE RANGE HOOD: The old Viking gas cook top was relocated to the perimeter and paired with a new undercounter Viking oven. A new decorative cabinet range hood was installed with a blower and fan liner tucked inside the hood. The previous remodel did not include any venting, so the new project included the installation of ventilation to the exterior. Finally the area under the hood included a tile backsplash with an arched top

Before medallion design. VARYING HEIGHTS OF WALL CABINETS: The removal of the existing bulkheads allowed the designer to vary the height of the wall cabinets. This “staggered” effect resulted in a more interesting look and more storage. The new perimeter cabinets are semicustom with full overlay mitered doors and five-piece drawer fronts in maple wood with ivory paint and café highlights. REDESIGNED PANTRY AREA: The old pantry cabinetry was replaced with new wider pantry cabinets that extend to the ceiling, offering much needed additional storage.

Fragrant flowers a cut above the rest

GARDENING By Holly Lindzy This time of year, I get a jones in my bones for the scent of a flower. So, through the crusty snow and bitter cold I go, off to the floral department. Nothing quite like the floral department in February … the scent of a primrose is a blessing for this nose. (The yellows ones smell like Fruit Loops, by the way.) But, by far my favorite thing is to fill my house with the fragrance of flowers when I’m feeling gloomy, so I’ll head straight to the fresh-cut flowers. I like to get the most bang for my buck when purchasing cut flowers, since you essentially toss them eventually anyway, so I’ve learned what lasts the longest and/or has the most fragrant bloom. My favorite, by far, are Oriental lilies. They last an amazingly long time for the money and smell incredible. Just one stem can fragrance my whole home. To say they are beautiful is an understatement, and to boot, they are particularly easy to grow! More on that another time.

30 | February 8, 2011

Second best, and particularly this time of year, are daffodils. They make me so wonderfully happy. They last a long time and are cheerful and inexpensive. Oh how I love thee. One caveat, however, you cannot mix daffs with any other cut flower. They release a goo (technical term) that will cause other cut flowers to shrivel up and peter out (more technical jargon). Interesting, huh? And finally, the longest-lasting and most frugal purchases are Peruvian lilies, or Alstromeria. I swear, a huge bunch of these are the most inexpensive purchase and will cheer up your chilly, gloomy house for days on end. A great purchase, but no fragrance. Still worth it. So, for just a few dollars, I can chase my winter blues away – with some proven winners that are a cut above the rest.

DISPATCHES » IP addresses dwindling – Our worldwide system of networks that comprise what we call the Internet is running out of IP addresses, unique numbers that every device that connects to the Internet gets so those devices can communicate with other devices on the Internet. So when the last available IPv4 address has been doled out, does that mean your router, iPad , laptop or other devices won’t be able to connect to the Internet? No. Devices you currently use at home already have an associated IP address and won’t be affected. Those who host their own Web sites, have a registered domain or are responsible for a business network should be more vigilant. There’s a great post on the steps those users should take in order to ensure IPv6 readiness at cisco.com. -www.pcmag,com » Cameras reduce accidents - Red light cameras are helping drivers remember that red means stop and are saving lives, according to a new study out Tuesday by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety The study concludes that the cameras have reduced the rate of fatal crashes by 24 percent in 14 large cities that introduced red light cameras between 1996 and 2004.

Are we running out of Internet addresses? COMMENTARY By Gary Hubbard Is the Internet really running out of IP addresses, and if so, what does it mean to you? Underneath the surface of what we type into our Web browsers to get to a Web site is a structured numbering system that is the actual address of each Web site we want to go to. This numbering system is referred to as the Internet protocol (IP) address. For instance, when you type DataDoctors.com to get to our Web site, your browser asks a DNS (domain name system) server to translate the “easy to remember for humans” address into the actual numeric IP address, which is 69.28.134.226. In addition to every Web site needing unique addresses, so too do the devices that allow us to connect to those Web sites: cable modems, DSL routers, business networks, mobile devices, etc. When the founders of the Internet created this addressing scheme, the ARPAnet was considered a short-term government experiment, so the roughly 4.3 billion-address limitation was considered exponentially more than would ever be needed. “The only problem is the experiment never ended,” says Vint Cerf, widely considered the “father of the Internet” as the program manager of the ARPAnet. To be clear, every device that can connect to the Internet does not require a unique IP address as most of our devices connect via some form of network (home network, coffee shop, business network, etc.) For instance, if you have a cable modem and a wireless router to allow you to share the connection, your cable modem is assigned a single “public IP address,” which is unique (and from the pool that is running low). But all the computers behind your router use “private IP” addresses, so it doesn’t matter how many computers, laptops, tablets, webcams or gaming consoles you use to connect to the Internet; you are still only using one public IP address.

The organization that oversees the assignment of IP addresses, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is getting close to the end of the available addresses (most are estimating February of 2011), but since they assign large blocks of addresses to ISPs and other large Internet entities, we aren’t in danger of running out of individual IP addresses any time soon. It is, however, just a matter of time before we do run out of IPv4 addresses, so the industry has been working on a solution known as IPv6 which uses a much more robust addressing scheme that allows for 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 unique addresses instead of the paltry 4.3 billion available via IPv4. This problem has been on the horizon for more than a decade (the IPv6 standard was published in 1998) and the industry has been slowly preparing for the eventual shift. For the foreseeable future, both IPv4 and IPv6 will be in use across the Internet as there is not a feasible way (or need) to convert everything on the Internet overnight. Most everything you use as a consumer is likely already capable of resolving IPv6 addresses or can be configured to do so. Microsoft, for instance, started incorporating the protocol as far back as Windows XP and most current residential routers have provisions for dealing with both protocols. The bottom line is that you have nothing to worry about any time soon as long as you keep your devices, operating systems and browsers updated.

DISPATCHES » Unilever won’t test on animals – Animal rights group PETA claimed victory last week after the owner of Lipton and PG Tips teas, the giant Unilever group, said it would stop testing its teas on animals.The world's largest tea maker had been injecting pigs with E. coli bacteria and then feeding them tea to see if it helped block the infection. Unilever would also have rabbits fattened up and then fed tea to see if it would help clear the plaque build-up in their arteries. Those and other tests appeared aimed at demonstrating whether tea had various healing properties that could be used in marketing. -www.news.yahoo.com » Keep dogs away from these plants – 1, Azaleas and rhododendrons. These pretty flowering plants contain toxins that may cause vomiting, diarrhea, coma and potentially even death. 2. Tulips and daffodils. The bulbs of these plants may cause serious stomach problems, convulsions and damage to the heart. 3. Sago palms. Eating just a few seeds may be enough to cause vomiting, seizures and liver failure. -wwwpawnation.com » Lab still top dog breed – Based on registration figures compiled by the American Kennel Club, the beloved Labrador retriever remains the champ in the annual list of most popular dogs, thanks to its well-earned reputation for playfulness and loyalty. Bulldogs made a surprising leap in the rankings. The bulldog knocked the boxer, a perennial favorite, out of the No. 6 spot on the 2010 list, the best showing the breed has had in 100 years. The boxer is now the seventh-most popular breed. -www.msnbc.com
