AX Interview: Cole Siebler

February 18, 2011 2:30pm

AMA Arenacross Series Interview of the Week: TUF Honda’s Cole Siebler

AURORA, Ill. Prior to the 2011 AMA Arenacross Series season, the legendary TUF Honda team’s newest member Cole Siebler was making his rounds as a privateer in Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship. Moderate success gave Siebler enough reason to continue pursuing his dream, but breakthrough opportunities were few and far between, particularly in tough economic times.

Just before the 2011 championship was set to begin, Siebler received a call from Dave Antolack, team manager with TUF Honda, asking him to be the third rider for the team’s effort alongside 2009 champion Jeff Gibson and series veteran Brock Sellards, who was only running select rounds.

As a full-fledged rookie in the arenacross discipline, Siebler adjusted to the more hotly-contested competition over the first few rounds before taking advantage of a good start and securing his first career win at Toledo.

Now, Siebler sits fourth in the Arenacross class standings and while he is currently on the outside looking in for the championship, he’s looking forward to the west coast swing that kicks off this weekend in Reno.

Cole, how exactly did you become a member of the TUF Honda team and a full-time competitor in the AMA Arenacross Series for 2011?

“Well, it was last minute. My plan was to ride the supercross season. Brock Sellards kind of set the deal up because TUF Honda wanted a guy and Heath Voss decided not to race. Plus Brock was only going to do a few races because he didn’t want to compete in the whole series. So he told Dave (Antolack) about me, Dave called and that’s how it came together.”

Did you have any previous experience with competing in arenacross?

“No, I’d never done an arenacross race until the first round this year. I’ve raced over in Europe and they have some pretty tight tracks that are similar to arenacross, but never anything here in the states.”

How was the transition getting used to racing on a smaller scale?

“It wasn’t too bad. The first couple weeks were pretty rough for me and I had some pretty bad luck. (I’ve learned) starts are really important so I’ve been working on those a lot and they’ve gotten better the last couple weeks. I kept thinking 25 laps was going to be a long race because in supercross you race 20 laps, but when (lap) times are only like 23 seconds it goes by pretty fast.”

What were your expectations coming into this season?

“I came in and I wanted to win. I don’t like to go to a race and not plan on winning. So that’s what I wanted to do, but it hasn’t worked out that great (so far). I’ve won one race, but I’m getting better every weekend. I’ve been on the podium a couple times and that’s pretty much been my plan. I just wanted to come in here and race, and race to win.”

Was that your first career professional victory?

“In the AMA, yes. I’ve won some professional races over in Europe, but this was my first AMA win other than anything at Loretta’s (Lynn’s) as an amateur.”

Being on both sides in supercross and arenacross, how tough would you say the competition is in the AMA Arenacross Series?

“Obviously you aren’t racing against James Stewart, Ryan Dungey or Ryan Villopoto every weekend, but arenacross is pretty much full of what you would call the top privateers. There are a lot of good guys, there’s a lot of guys that can win this year so it’s been a good series. We’ve had six rounds and I think there’s been four different winners, so I think that there’s a lot of guys that can win in arenacross and depending on the start, its pretty much anyone’s race.”

Have you learned that starts are one of the keys to being successful in arenacross?

“Yeah, I (also) think the heat races are very important. That way you can get a good gate pick for the main (event). But yeah, I’d say starts are pretty much the most important thing, then just putting in a solid 25 laps.”

What do you think has been the toughest part of coming into the AMA Arenacross Series?

“It’s a lot more aggressive (because) the tracks are tighter. You have to be aggressive sometimes to make passes and I’ve never been to aggressive racing. I definitely have to step up my aggression. Sometimes you have to do a block pass on someone because it’s the only way to get around them.”

How has it been being a part of TUF Honda, who is one of the most renowned teams in the series with a long legacy of championships?

“TUF is awesome. Dave Antolack is a great guy. My mechanic Trayson is awesome and a great mechanic. Andy Brennan, (Jeff) Gibson’s mechanic, is awesome too. Everyone there just has fun. They take racing serious and they want to win, but they definitely have a good time (as well).”

What are you looking for out of the rest of the season? You have a win under your belt and sit fourth in the championship.

“I just want to take it race-by-race now and try to win some races before the season is over. Try to get on the podium every race and get a couple more wins. Hopefully I can get some good results and get into the top three in points at the end of the season.”

Round seven of the 2011 AMA Arenacross Series kicks off in just a few days from the Livestock & Events Center in Reno, Nev., on Friday, February 18 and Saturday, February 19 starting at 7:00 p.m. PT!

How to Keep from Killing Your Husband

Reminder from yesterday: I now have a facebook page and I've officially set up my Bloglovin. Show me some love on Facebook & Bloglovin ya'll.

If you're reading this expecting to find out how to keep from killing your husband, you'll be disappointed. I'm actually hoping for your advice instead.

We're still in Salt Lake City for the Sundance film festival. The other night, we had two movies back to back, but there was plenty of time to make both of them.

This is a 2.6 mile trip you're looking at here.

Small backstory: If you really knew me, you would know that I'm out of shape and I never work out. (Yeah..I seriously need to work on this, but these are the facts.) I get out of breath extremely easily.

Salt Lake is over 4,000 feet above sea level. Memphis is about 300 feet above sea level. We've honestly had a hard time breathing, so you can definitely tell a difference in the altitude.

We walked out of the first theater and didn't see a cab anywhere (apparently, they're all in Park City--none to be found in Salt Lake). Rodney was like..awww..we can walk it. We have time.

After spurts of jogging and mostly walking, we finally got to the second theater ten minutes before the movie was supposed to start. The tickets say you're supposed to be there fifteen minutes before, so we were five minutes late.

It is so frustrating to bust your booty to do something only to be told no when you arrive. There were 3 other ticketholders in front of us when we arrived that were also waiting to get into the theater. Somehow, they were already filled to capacity.

And did I mention that the movie we were rushing to see was Mud? With Matthew McConaughey?

You're telling me that I just jogged and walked in 7 degree weather to see this cutie and even though we're five minutes late and we have tickets, we can't get in because you've already filled the theater?? What's the point in even having a ticket?

Needless to say, I wasn't very happy. I told Mr. Hubs that we should have called a cab, but he was sooo sure that we could walk it in plenty of time.

I never know how to react in these types of situations. I obviously was upset and frustrated, and so was Rodney. He starts getting mad then I get mad at him for getting mad. Such a vicious cycle. At this point, there was nothing we could do, so getting mad about it wouldn't help the situation.

I obviously didn't want to actually kill him (for those gullies that actually think I was begin serious), but I wasn't very chipper about the situation. How do you react when things like this happen?

 Instagram picture from the mishap

This whole story is the crappie. Not to mention I now have blisters on my feet.

The happie is that now, we're taking cabs everywhere. Yay for no walking in the freezing cold high altitude! Also, this movie was a premiere, so it will be out in theaters for sure at some point. It's not like we've missed it and will never be able to watch. Oh and I got a good workout also.

I think Andre' and I would be in the same situation y'all were in! The whole thing would be his fault and then he would be mad at me for being mad at him. Never ending mad cycle because we are both so stubborn!

Peace Love Applesauce- Terri said...

Heyyyy.. Following from the Memphis Bloggers group. What's your name on Instagram?

Bre @ Peacoats and Plaid said...

Awww darn, that sucks. But how cool that you're at the Sundance Film Festival? You know what else is going on in SLC right now? The super awesome Alt Summmit (you should google it)

"Stalking" your page from Peacoats and Plaid, now following you :)

LB @ Walking in Memphis in High Heels said...

What is that movie about? Well I guess you didn't see it but I've never even seen previews. I would be furnished if I already had a ticket. Why do they oversell? That's annoying!

Sarah @ Scissors and a Whisk said...

Wow that sucks. I don't know why they'd print you a ticket if there wasn't enough room for everyone. I'm sorry :( Hope your blisters are better.
Thanks for linking up!

(We Forgot To Write A Headline)

Memory can be fickle. The things you want to forget, you can’t. Those you want to remember, you never can.

Everyone has experienced those moments of memory lapse. You stand up to get something from another room, but then you forget what you got up for. Or you spend 15 minutes trying to remember the name of that famous actor, only to have it come to you the next morning in the shower.

In recent years, scientists have focused on memory and forgetting as they relate to Alzheimer’s disease. But what about those forgetful moments that everyone gets? Those aren’t necessarily signs of Alzheimer’s. But how can you tell the difference?

Some Boston researchers are looking for that difference. Scientists at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and Mass General have started a study that will look at how the brain ages in elderly people. They want to know what’s normal aging — and what’s something more troubling.

HCM to Hanoi

>> On the move <<

sunny 35 °C

Hi Everyone,

I snapped this picture when I was going to the Beach the other day in the Taxi guys car, touched up using Paint Shop Pro it seems to convey the feelings in Vietnam very well. She is a beautiful kid with a voice to melt your heart.

So I think its fitting that she somehow symbolises Vietnams future and growing prosperity. You cannot help but notice the stark contrast from very rich to very poor, although I have not in any way been pestered when I am out with local people or indeed even on my own you do not feel too intimidated. Sure, there are times when you feel as if your on the Moon and everyone is looking or glancing at you but thats kewl with me and as long as you are firm and respectful then things seem ok for now.

Lots of local people do however warn me about wallet snatchers etc etc etc which does have a tendency to make you feel paranoid, although safe is better than sorry.

Have done a lot more Temple visiting and only yesterday I was very fortunate to be in a Japanese Buddhist Temple when a very special visit occurred by the numero uno Priest. It was very reverential and Buddists from all over the world were also there including British, French and many others. The place quickly became jam packed and when I left about an hour or so later with my friend it was'nt far different from the recent Wilkinson rugby match to see everyone make a grab for our two seats.

I grabbed this shot of this huge Palm in the Saigon Zoo along with seeing the usual suspects of Elephants etc.

It is quite sad to see animals treated this way, but then again things do improve albeit slowly. It is very sad to see Puppy dog sellers on the roadside, you somehow just want to impersonate an RSPCA official and confiscate the lot or do a Rolfy Harris and somehow save them all. Even today, as I was driving along with my friend, I saw a large bowl with I guess 20 or so terrapins/tortoises in and you cannot help but feel like you should do something???

I set off tommorrow to Hanoi, capital of Vietnam and have booked a mini tour. So 3 days in Hanoi, them to Ha Long and Sapa and back to Saigon for a total of 8 days. I must confess that even though I packed so light, it is still far tooo much to carry especially in the heat & humidity here. So funds are going quicker than I hoped but I do not think I will have any problems with the food being sooo cheap.

I forgot to mention that my friends father who spoke English soo well actually gave me his most treasured two books, one was about the Vietnam War and the other was more about POW in VN I think. As he was almost totally blind, it was even more touching when he managed to write a nice dedication in each one.

They have all been a real bunch of nice people to me and I will try to get a picture of them all and post on the blog.

Anyway I best go now cos the clock is a ticking away. I have placed my £10 Skybet for Arsenal to thrash 'em 2-1 tommorrow and with any luck will see the game live in Hanoi.

Telling The Parents

Kaleb and I spent Labor Day weekend out at Big Lake. We finally decided to tell our parents that weekend, but wanted to do it in a creative way.

We went to Walmart and bought some really nice picture frames. We then went and found a really cute greeting card that had a picture of baby booties on the front with a caption "so little, so cute..." above them. We wrote April 2010 on the bottom of the card, framed them and kind of wrapped them with plastic bags and tissue paper because that's all we had. We made 4 frames, one for each set of parents and one for Hannah.

On September 6th, We told my parents, James and Debbie, first. My Mom already suspected it, so telling them was going to be easy going. I gave the frame to her, she opened it - looked at me smiling and asked, "really?" And I nodded and said, "yes." She sat up on the couch and declared, "I told you so!" lol It took all that I have not to bawl like a baby! Dad was pretty happy too! Though he didn't get it at first. He thought I was showing them something new I am offering with my photo stuff :)

We left their house and went up to Kaleb's parents', Neal and Bess, house. We knew they were going to be more "enthusiastic" about the news. We gave Bess the frame to open. I luckily had my camera out for this and caught it all on video. She FREAKED out! They have been asking us for years if/when we were ever going to start a family...

It just wasn't in God's timing yet. :)

This baby is truly a blessing to us!
I had given up hope of having a child of our own - and assumed that we would adopt. Which I would be totally okay with (Kaleb is adopted, as is my Mom, Debbie).

But I am overwhelmed with joy that I am able to carry my own child. Kaleb and I are already smiling a little bigger just thinking about the journey we are about to start. :)

On September 7th, we told Justin and Hannah (my brother and Kaleb's half-sister). We didn't give Justin a frame, so I just sent him a text message that morning. His said cool and kind of acted like, oh okay. whatever. Like this is an everyday occurrence! lol Hey Justin, I didn't just tell you I washed
my hair... we are having a BABY! lol

Anyway, we brought Hannah out to the lake Monday morning for breakfast. We talked about a bunch of stuff - found out a friend of hers is pregnant. Breakfast was really yummy. We gave her the frame, she opened it and cheered LOL She has also been asking when we were going to have a baby because she wanted to be an aunt.

On our way home from the lake, we stopped in at my other parents' (Lance and Ginger) house. Ginger has grandkids, which are also his, but none blood related. I gave the frame to him to open. He said, "is this a hint?" As I answered, Ginger freaked out! lol She gave me a hug, then him a hug and said,
"you are going to be a real Grandpa..." It was all very teary.

For now, we aren't officially announcing our pregnancy. I want to wait until after we go to the doctor. I am pretty paranoid that something will go wrong, since it has taken us so long to get pregnant. But I'm sure it's just new Mom jitters ;)

  1. And your little guy is so cute. I am sure that all of the people you told that day just love him to pieces now that he is here!

    You are blessed!

    Linda @ Truthful Tidbits

  2. Awww! I love "spilling the beans" pregnancy stories!

    Just now getting around to visiting everyone's memories on a lazy walk down memory lane! Thanks for linking up!

New Daily Activity

Before we head off to soccer camp, I had Tristan do the new clock and calendar.  He did pretty good for his first time!  I plan on doing the clock several time throughout the day (lunchtime, quiet time, bedtime, etc).  The calendar one will be done each morning.

How to embed gist samples in Google Sites

To make sure that your blogger and your site always reference the same (latest) version of your code samples, and that the formatting is consistent across your site and your  blog, you should consider using github to be the master for all your code samples. Take a look at how to embed gist in Blogger in this post. Here we'll cover how to do the same thing in Google Sites (which is hosting this site).

This is a free repository (and version management system) for code samples. Just register and you're ready to create your first code sample (or gist as they are referred to). Of course Google Sites restricts what you can do, so although github provides a perfectly good piece of javaScript to embed a sample, you have to implement a gadget to host it. I came across this gadget from derquinse, so let's use that one.

We'll use the code sample for Simple implementation of R- melt to embed the code from this gist. Here is the XML file needed

Derquinse Gist.GitHub Gadget

And it Works! Now my site will be automatically updated if I change the code.

Using Google Apps Script

Another way is to use the caja prettifier  wrapped up in Google Apps Script. You can read about how this works here. This time we use a simple iFrame gadget, and embed a URL like this

Here is the same thing -

See Get Started Snippets for more topics like this.  In the meantime why not join our forum,follow the blog or follow me on twitter to ensure you get updates when they are available.

Learning Apps Script, (and transitioning from VBA) are covered comprehensively in my my book, Going Gas - from VBA to Apps script, available All formats are available now from O'Reilly,Amazon and all good bookshops. You can also read a preview on O'Reilly

If you prefer Video style learning I also have two courses available. also published by O'Reilly.
Google Apps Script for Developers and Google Apps Script for Beginners.

Bye Bye Becca

The one constant of life is death and my wife and I came face-to-face with this reality yesterday. Our beloved Becca (a Labrador-Collie mix) had to be euthanized. It's never an easy decision to end the life of a pet, but sometimes it's the most humane and compassionate thing to do.

Of course, we were there when she was "put to sleep". I would have rather skipped the procedure, but the reason for being there is to comfort your friend, not yourself. She had provided so much comfort to us for more than a decade that we couldn't turn our back on her when she needed our comfort the most.

It's an odd thing to see your beloved pet slowly lay her head down -- one last time -- then lay motionless. You stroke her head and she no longer responds. You say her name and she no longer wags her tail. She's laying there in front of you, yet she's no longer there.

We both cried, long and hard. I know a lot of people would say we were crying for Becca, but I think we were crying for ourselves. The pain of death is for the living, not the dead.

Our other animals seem out of kilter now. Becca's best friend, Heidi (a German Shepherd-Collie mix), keeps going from room-to-room looking for her pal. Becca's cat buddy, Dylan, isn't sure which dog to greet when he comes in from outside. Scruffy (dog) seems depressed and the other two cats (Little Bit and Mookie) sense that something's out of place.

Something IS out of place -- Becca's gone.

  1. So sorry for your loss....

    We lost one of our golden retrievers, Roxie, to cancer a couple months ago. She was an old girl and we had her only a few years (rescue) but it was still tough to let her go. She was active up to her last day, and then collapsed and had to be put to sleep. She died in my arms, and went peacefully.

    Take care.... Namaste...

Review ~ Catch of a Lifetime by Judi Fennell

Rating 3.75!!

Book Description (from author's website):

She’s on a mission to save the planet…
Mermaid Angel Tritone has been researching humans from afar, hoping to find a way to convince them to stop polluting.
When she jumps into a boat to escape a shark attack, it’s her chance to pursue her mission, but she has to keep her identity a total secret…
When he finds out what she really is, they’re both in mortal danger…
For Logan Hardington, finding a beautiful woman on his boat is surely not a problem—until he discovers she’s a
mermaid, and suddenly his life is on the line…

My Thoughts:
With all the vampire and shapeshifter books that are out now (which I love) it was nice to read something a little different. This is the first book by Judi Fennell that I have read. I love the first part of the book which has Angel on land trying to learn everything she about humans. I thought the middle of the book dragged just a little. Then the end of the book which takes place underwater was great. I loved Logan's reaction to finding out the Angel was a mermaid was great. While I was reading this book I was trying to figure out how the author was going to give the couple their happy ending. I loved the way story ended and I can't wait to go back and read the first 2 books in this series. This book does stand alone, but you can tell the Angel's brothers have already had their stories. I hope that we going to get Marissa's story next.

I received an ARC from Sourcebooks.

Lusting 4 Covers

Lusting for Covers is a weekly meme, held on Sundays, that allow bloggers to share their current cover obsession with fellow book lovers. The meme is hosted by TBQ @ The Book Queen's Palace.

This is the first time I have participated in this meme, but I have seen it around the last few weeks and thought it sounded fun. So here is the book cover I have been obsessing about.

Release Date: Feb. 9, 2010

This description is from FantasticFiction.

The night is not safe for mortals. Denise MacGregor knows all too well what lurks in the shadows - her best friend is half-vampire Cat Crawfield - and she has already lost more than the average human could bear. But her family's past is wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness - and a demon shapeshifter has marked Denise as prey. Now her survival depends on an immortal who lusts for a taste of her.

He is Spade, a powerful, mysterious vampire who has walked the earth for centuries and is now duty-bound to protect this endangered, alluring human - even if it means destroying his own kind. Denise may arouse his deepest hungers, but Spade knows he must fight his urge to have her as they face the nightmare together...

Because once the first crimson drop falls, they will both be lost.

This one I can't wait for. I loved Spade in the Night Huntress Books.

Review ~ My Fair Unlady by Kathryne Kennedy

Book Description (from author's website):
He created the perfect woman…
The impoverished Duke of Monchester despises the rich Americans who flock to London, seeking to buy their way into the ranks of the British peerage. So when railroad heiress Summer Wine Lee offers him a king’s ransom if he’ll teach her to become a proper lady, he’s prepared to rebuff her. But when he meets the petite beauty with the knife in her boot, it’s not her fortune he finds impossible to resist…
For the arms of another man
Frontier-bred Summer Wine Lee has no interest in winning over London society—it’s the New York bluebloods and her future mother-in-law she’s determined to impress. She knows the cost of smoothing her rough-and-tumble frontier edges will be high. But she never imagined it might cost her heart…

My Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. It was great love story about opposites attracting. Summer is a free-spirit and Byron is the perfect Englishman. When you put them together sparks fly. All Summer wanted was to be turned into the perfect lady and thinks that with Byron help she can become that lady. As Byron works with Summer he realizes that he doesn't want to change her that he loves her just the way she is he just needs to convince her that she is perfect the way she is. I also love the last chapter I actually laugh out loud a few times.

This was a delightful historcal romance!

Contemporary Romance Reading Challenge 2010!!

I found another fun challenge! I participated in the Contemporary Challenge last year and it was a really fun challenge. This year it's being hosted by Pearl at Pearl's World of Romance. So head over to her blog and sign up.

Here are her rules:

Before I list the details, I do want to make one thing clear: by contemporary romance I mean straight contemporary, so without paranormal, fantasy or time-travel elements. Sexy, steamy contemporaries are eligible and so are category romances. (i.e. Harlequin Blaze, Harlequin Presents, Harlequin Super Romances, Silhouette Desires, etc.)

1. Read at least 10 contemporaries between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010.

2. You don't have to pre-select your books, you can just add them as you go. Even if you list them now, you can change the list if needed. Nothing is set in stone! Also, the books you choose can crossover into or from other challenges you are participating in.

3. Feel free to grab the button below for the sidebar of your blog. It would be great if you would link it back to this post so others can find their way back to this post and join the challenge.

4. If you decide to join this challenge be sure to create a post telling others and feel free to add a link back to this post so others can join in the fun.

5. I will be creating review posts where you can link your own reviews, but reviews are optional.

This is a tentative list that will probably change.....

Review ~ Breakfast in Bed

Rating 5 stars!!

Robin Kaye is a great new voice in contemporary romance. An auto-buy for me!!

Book Description (from author's website): Rich, the epitome of "anti-domestic," can't cook to save his life, and his idea of cleaning his apartment is to invite his mother over. But he's ready to settle down, and he can't stop thinking about the ex-girlfriend who got away. When he notices that his soon-to-be-married friends cooked and cleaned their way into their women's hearts, he asks his friend Becca to help transform him into a nurturing man to win back his ex.
Rich is the only guy who's taken the time to know Becca for herself. She decides she'll give him the makeover he's asking for, though she'll be damned if she's going to turn him into a domestic god for another woman. She wants Rich for herself, but how can she convince him that her kitchen and her bedroom are the only domestic locales he desires?

My Thoughts: I loved this book! I love this author!! This is the 3rd Domestic Gods book. We have met the hero and heroine in the previous book Too Hot to Handle. Rich Ronaldi is a young professor that has come home to teach at Columbia. Becca is an artist that has moved from Philadelphia to New York to be closer to her best friend and family. Rich and Becca end up subletting the same apartment. One sister promised it the Rich and his other sister promised it to Becca. So now we have total opposites sharing an apartment so you know the sparks are going to fly.
Rich wants his ex-girlfriend back and ask Becca to help him. He thinks that if he becomes more domestic she will take him back and with her back that will help him with winning over his new bosses. Becca is a rich girl trying to make it on her own by moving to New York. The chemistry between Rich and Becca was fantastic. Rich is trying to take care of himself after being taken care of his whole life. Becca trying to deal with all the issue that come with having an absent father, than that father wanting to be part of her life. The chemistry between Rich and Becca was smoking and I love watch these two fall in love, be spilt apart and then brought back together again.
You get to visit the characters from the first two books which was great and fit in the with the storyline. Sometimes when you are reading a series the author will throw in characters from previous books just to make the reader happy. Ms. Kaye doesn’t do this the visits from these characters work great with the story.

If you haven’t pick up Romeo, Romeo, Too Hot to Handle and Breakfast in Bed what are you waiting for!!

Amphetamine is a Schedule II controlled substance available by prescription (Dexedrine®) and is also available on the illicit market. Amphetamines are a class of potent sympathomimetic agents with therapeutic applications. They are chemically related to the human body’s natural catecholamines: epinephrine and norepinephrine. Acute higher doses lead to enhanced stimulation of the central nervous system and induce euphoria, alertness, reduced appetite, and a sense of increased energy and power. Cardiovascular responses to amphetamines include increased blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias. More acute responses produce anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations, and psychotic behavior. The effects of amphetamines generally last 2-4 hours following use, and the drug has a half-life of 4-24 hours in the body. About 30% of amphetamines are excreted in the urine in unchanged form, with the remainder as hydroxylated and deaminated derivatives.

The Rapid Test® Drug & Alcohol Instant Test yields a positive result when Amphetamines in urine exceed 1,000 ng/mL. This is the suggested screening cut-off for positive specimens set by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA, USA).

About Me: (at least a couple of sentences; ex: family, interests, hobbies, favorite quote, personal mission statement, etc
I'm a busy young married woman in pursuit of perfect health. A former bikini model and fitness competitor, I never felt pleased when looking in a mirror. I'm now on a mission to find inner peace and happiness instead of trying to achieve the body everyone else wants me to have. Lately, through raw foods and relaxation techniques, I'm finally starting to feel like my old, carefree self again.
How did you hear about our community?

What dietary interests do you have? (clean eating, vegetarian, vegan, paleo, weight loss, etc?)
What is your motivation for joining Real Food Rehab? (moral support, education, recipes, inspiration, fitness tips, etc.)
I need a lot of moral support and inspiration. I don't know anyone else in my area who eats this way and I get a lot of slack from co-workers, friends, family, etc. It would be nice to have other people I can talk to about my lifestyle. I'm also always looking for new recipes and fitness tips to help me in my journey. I hope to make some lifelong friends who relate to me and who I can feel comfortable opening up to. My husband is starting to come around to this lifestyle as well and I'd love to be able to assist him with his transition.

Bouquets to the Buddhist: By: Raymond Anthony Fernando

The Buddhists worship Buddha, and their teachings always have in mind the needy that are very much in need of compassion and to be freed from suffering. Many of the Chinese here are Buddhists, although there are other races such as Indians and even Africans in Africa who embrace Buddhism.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong rightly paid tribute to Buddhists, the largest religious group here for helping the needy, fund scholarships and bursaries and fostering racial and religious harmony when he officiated at the opening of the new Buddhist College in Bright Hill Road in Bishan.

I admire the statue of Buddha and am glad that his teachings have molded caring and kind-hearted citizens to engage in charity work – both in Singapore and many parts of the world.

What has struck me most about the Buddhist who put into full use the teachings of Buddha is their humility.  And I was privileged to learn useful lessons in humility what I got to know of the wonderful work which the Tzu Chi Foundation does–worldwide.  So impressed by thousands across the globe, many people have become volunteers of this Buddhist Charity who never fail to help in relief efforts by rebuilding homes destroyed by natural disasters in many countries like the Philippines and in Sri Lanka.

Dharma Master Cheng Yen, a Buddhist nun on 14 May 1966 in Hualien, Taiwan, founded the Tzi Chi Foundation. Inspired by her master and mentor the late Vulnerable Master Yin Shun, this nun was so moved by the poverty and lack of services in Taiwan that she decided to set up the charity, Tzi Chi Foundation.

From their humble beginnings, this group has expanded to become a major civil society actor with approximately 10 million members and chapters in 47 countries worldwide.

Tzi Chi, which does not use its religion to influence all races and religions, has hundreds of doctors who volunteer their time to care for the sick in many parts of the world.  Besides doing charity work, the Foundation is also actively saving the environment through their on-going recycling programs in Singapore and in other nations.

So let’s take lessons from the Buddhist teachings to learn of humility to order to make this a better world.

Java and Schema Generation

You'd think that generating an XML schema from a set of Java Classes would be a simple thing. But gee it is hard.

I have spent the better part of four hours and three coffees pouring over the inner workings of the JAXB 2 SchemaGenerator classes. Odd stuff this, I know I am close because I have it working for simple types, but I am trying to work out how I get it to handle a complex map of objects. Hrmm..

[[ Edit ]]

I did work it out in the end. It was horrid code, in that there was so much of it which I suspect means that I didn't have it right. (it does do what I needed it for though so, close that door).

The real reason why you should never go to bed with wet hair. Must Read.

The real reason why you should never go to bed with wet hair. Must Read.

Nowadays, the weather has become more unpredictable than before. Moreover, if due to this weather, you are considering to go to bed with your wet hair, you should think twice before doing so.

You do not have to worry because we are here to help you out and to let you be informed about whether going to bed with wet hair will end up with giving you a cold and a sore throat or you can actually try it.

The risk of catching a cold while sleeping with wet hair depends on the temperature of your bedroom. The loss of heat energy in your room will be more if the temperature in it is much less than the normal one.

In fact, common cold is caught by a virus and not just simply because of a wet hair.

However, there are times where studies has shown that spending more time in a colder room with wet hair makes the body more vulnerable to virus. As a result, going to be with wet hair should be avoided unless the room that you have is in warm and airy condition.

Additionally, if you are planning to go to bed with wet hair, we have some easy steps for you to follow in order to wake up with a beautiful and gorgeous hair in the morning.

  1. Making Waves

Flip your head upside down, make four loose and messy buns out of twisted hair, tie the buns separately, and do not make it too tight. By doing this, you will be waking up with beautiful curls in the morning.

You can also blow dry your hair for a short period before tying them in a messy bun in order to create more curls.

  1. Braiding

Braid your wet hair before going to bed in order to wake up with wonderful looks in the morning. Do not keep the braids too tight. Remove those braids in the morning when you wake up, shake your head, and let the braids naturally opened up.

  1. The Scrunchie/ Sock Technique

If you find it hard and annoying because of hair creasing in your sleep, then loosely, tie your hair above your head with the help of a Scrunchie and secure it in a bun. If you cannot actually find a Scrunchie instantly, you can utilize a sock by cutting its top and use it as a hair tie instead.

  1. Plopping

This one is an effortless technique that you can do in styling your hair. Flip your wet hair and pile it on a cotton towel or you can use a cotton shirt to give the best result, and wrap it tightly above your head. Fluff your hair in the morning when you wake up after removing the towel and win the world with your astonishing look.

  1. Change your Bedding

If you want to wake up in the morning with a straight hair, use a silk bedding. The smooth fabric of the silk brought less friction to your hair, which makes it smoother and straighter. It is the right time to display your beautiful hair after a sound sleep.

The topic of variation in language has received considerable attention in the field of general linguistics in recent years. This includes research on linguistic micro-variation that is dependent on fine distinctions in syntax and information structure. However, relatively little work has been done on how this variation is acquired. This book focuses on how different types of variation are expressed in the input and how this is acquired by young children. The collection of papers includes studies of the acquisition of variation in a number of different languages, including English, German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Norwegian, Swiss German, Ukrainian, and American Sign Language. Different kinds of linguistic variation are considered, ranging from pure word order variation to optionally doubly filled COMPs and the resolution of scopal ambiguities. In addition, papers in the volume deal with the extreme case of variation found in bilingual acquisition.

There are only two weeks left on Dancing with the Stars All Stars, which seems crazy to even say that, but we are almost at the end. With seven couples left on DWTS All Stars, this is a huge week for them because two couples will be sent home tomorrow night! Two full routines tonight, as the couples dance their routine and then partner with an eliminated pro or a member of the troupe to perform a Trio Dance on Dancing with the Stars 2012, so let’s see what the dancers have in store for us tonight on Dancing with the Stars All Stars.

Remember, there was no elimination last week on Dancing with the Stars All Stars because of the Presidential Election, so scores from last week will be added into both scores this week for their final scores. That is too many points to count!

Team: Shawn and Derek
Dance: Vietnamese Waltz
Derek is back from his injury and ready to get that perfect score with Shawn that she earned with Mark Ballas last week. This was a great routine and they looked very good together and a very elegant dance.
9.5Len said a whisper is louder than a shout and this was loud.
10.0Bruno said that was heavenly perfection.
10.0Carrie Ann said you are a beautiful, rich, in-depth performer.
TOTAL: 29.5/30.0

Team: Apolo and Karina
Dance: Tango
Apolo is sick of dancing with all he has got and only getting 9’s, so he wants to take risks this week. He is going to zipline across the stage! He does the zipline and it wasn’t as big as I think they were expecting. With two dances tonight, these are some short routines. They do well, but I was not blown away.
9.5 – Len said he is his hero and it was full-on attack and great.
10.0 – Bruno said it was fantastic and he loved it.
10.0 – Carrie Ann said it was amazing and his lines were fantastic.
TOTAL: 29.5/30.0

Team: Kirstie and Maks
Dance: Vietnamese Waltz
Kirstie likes this dance because it shows emotion and emotion towards the military. This was a great routine by Kirstie. Another very elegant and graceful routine and I enjoyed it.
9.0 – Len said your best dance and well done.
9.0 – Bruno said it was very stylish and elegant and well done.
9.0 – Carrie Ann said her lines were gorgeous and it was one of her best routines.
TOTAL: 27.0/30.0

Team: Kelly and Val
Dance: Vietnamese Waltz
Apparently they are all doing the Vietnamese Waltz for the veterans. Kelly is worried about the double elimination and is being difficult to work with. She overthinks everything and it shows on the dance floor, even though they looked great dancing. She seems so tense out there.
9.0 – Len said it was sharp on occasion, but it flowed nicely.
9.5 – Bruno said you are a twinkling twirler.
9.5 – Carrie Ann said you are always pushing yourself to the edge and that emotion commitment was great.
TOTAL: 28.0/30.0

Team: Gilles and Peta
Dance: Quickstep
They have been the high-scoring couple for the season, but slipping down the leaderboard every week and they want that top spot back this week and a perfect score. This was an awesome performance and so much footwork and they looked great together.
10.0 – Len said this was thunder and lightning and that was a quickstep.
10.0 – Bruno said fast, slick and vicious.
9.5 – Carrie Ann said there were a few little slips in his feet, but it was so good and so close.
TOTAL: 29.5/30.0

Team: Emmitt and Cheryl
Dance: Vietnamese Waltz
The judges told him to work on his upper body last week, so that is what they focused on during rehearsals. This was another great routine. Mind you they are mainly all the Vietnamese Waltz, so they are meant to be elegant and I like this style.
9.0 – Len said he puts the “oo” in smooth.
9.5 – Bruno said it had a classy feel to it and very nice.
9.5 – Carrie Ann said he wants to see him push himself and wants more impact from him.
TOTAL: 28.0/30.0

Team: Melissa and Tony
Dance: Quickstep
They are at the top of the leader board, so the only spot is to go down and they are worried about that. They did a good job, but the footwork didn’t look as together as others on the quickstep.
10.0 – Len said it was quick and there were lots of steps and it was great.
10.0 – Bruno said it was fantastic.
10.0 – Carrie Ann said they are on fire and awesome job.
TOTAL: 30.0/30.0

Team: Shawn, Derek and Mark Ballas
Dance: Samba
Shawn won with Mark and got a 30 with him last week on Dancing with the Stars All Stars when he filled in for Derek, so this should be good. This was so, so good. It was done well and the moves were so fun and entertaining and  loved it.
7.0 – Len said there was very little Samba content and it was very self-indulgent.
9.0 – Bruno said it was very naughty and he has jungle fever. As a piece of art, it was excellent, but it wasn’t really a samba.
10.0 – Carrie Ann said sometimes you have to take risks. They didn’t have a lot of samba, but what they did have was executed to perfection.
TOTAL: 26.0/30.0 for routine and overall score of 93.5

Team: Apolo, Karina and Sasha Farber
Dance: Jive
This was very entertaining. I enjoyed it, but I felt it may have been a bad choice to pick another guy to dance with them instead of a girl. Apolo did look weaker at times while dancing next to Sasha, but overall I liked it.
9.5 – Len said it was tight and together and that is what you want in a jive.
10.0 – Bruno said it was a huge risk and he was mirroring a pro and he conquered it.
9.5 – Carrie Ann said she has never seen him shine brighter and they work great together.
TOTAL: 29.0/30.0 for routine and overall score of 91.5

Team: Kirstie, Maks and Tristan MacManus
Dance: Paso Doble
They all will be dancing as angels and Kirstie is just happy to be dancing with two hot men! It wasn’t the best, but it was still alright. Props to Kirstie for doing this show at her age.
8.0 – Len said it had attitude, but it lacked finesse.
8.0 – Bruno said it could have been a little bit more refined.
8.0 – Carrie Ann said she loved the theme and costumes, but it was a little sloppy.
TOTAL: 24.0/30.0 for routine and overall score of 79.0

Team: Kelly, Val and Louis Van Amstel
Dance: Jive
Kelly wants to dance with the pro that has taught all the pros how to dance, so she chose Louis for their trio. This was fun and they seemed to have their kicks all together and I liked it. Kelly ends it with a kiss for Len!
9.5 – Len said he liked the end and it was fun, flamboyant and fast.
9.5 – Bruno said she held it together well.
9.5 – Carrie Ann said the transitions were seamless and she did well.
TOTAL: 28.5/30.0 for routine and overall score of 92.5

Team: Gilles, Peta and Chelsie Hightower
Dance: Salsa
They chose Chelsie because she is a great dancer, but also a great choreographer. This one was just full of sex appeal, but with this couple how could it not be? The beginning moves by Gilles were a little awkward, but otherwise it went very well.
10.0 – Len said he exposed himself and did not hide behind the two ladies and well done.
9.5 – Bruno said his attention of keeping in track of the ladies was so strong that he lost his timing a couple times.
9.5 – Carrie Ann said his timing was off, but he came out and took control of the dance floor.
TOTAL: 29.0/30.0 for routine and overall score of 92.0

Team: Emmitt, Cheryl and Kym Johnson
Dance: Salsa

Pending Home Sales Hit New Low in October

Last month the number of contracts to buy previously owned homes in the United States hit a 10 month low. However the services sector showed a strong rebound in activity earlier this month so experts are hopeful the economy is reasonably resilient as the year draws to a close.

According to the article in, this was the fifth consecutive month of declines in contracts, and these figures could indicate that the number of resales will be limited for the rest of the year. Figures from the National Association of Realtors showed the pending home sales index, which is based on contracts signed the previous month fell to 102.1, a decline of 0.6%, the lowest level since December last year. This suggests that home sales towards the end of the year will remain sluggish, and economists have pointed out that constrained financial conditions earlier on this summer had a negative effect.

© gstudio –

Economist had been predicting that pending home sales would rise by 1.3% in October, and think these weak figures could prompt the Federal Reserve to stick to its current bond buying program, at least until early 2014. The housing market has been targeted by the US central bank as being a means of speeding up job creation and boosting economic growth. In addition it’s likely that the partial shutdown of the federal government in October side-lined some potential buyers. A survey by the National Association of Realtors found some 17% of buyers had faced contract signing delays due to having to wait for the Internal Revenue Service to verify their income before they could gain mortgage approval. Even though real estate agents are hopeful that the number of contracts will bounce back, the lack of inventory is a problem.

In spite of this the early signs for November look more promising. Data on mortgage purchase application volumes shows an increase in the middle of the month, although prior to this levels had been low. Home sales have been affected by recent increases in mortgage rates, but even though the housing market may be cooling the good news is that the economy seems to have retained some of the momentum produced during the third quarter.

Other data shows that the recovery of the labor market in the US is still in progress, and that confidence is increasing. As such experts feel that home sales will again start trending upwards during the coming months. The numbers of pending home sales were up in the Midwest and Northeast but fell by 4.1% in the West.

Healthy Budget Food Shopping at Aldi

Healthy Budget Food Shopping at Aldi

Looking for healthy and cheap groceries? Budget reduced fat and/or gluten-free foods?

Aldi to the rescue! Yay.

What’s Aldi? I don’t really know, other than that they are stores that started in Europe. They have cheaper foods that are actually good quality and it doesn’t feel smarmy to shop there. You don’t really see “People of Aldi” photos on Facebook…

We’ve just had some Aldi stores open in California, so I take a road trip to the closest one every couple of weeks, about 20 minutes away, because it’s a) cheap and b) they have a lot of healthy foods.

What are healthy foods? You know, fruits, vegetables, chemical/additive-free foods, and reduced fat thingamabobs. And, if you’ve gone gluten-free, they have less pricey gluten free foods too. Just for you. I’ll eat your portion of gluten, thank you very much.

By healthy foods I also mean mentally healthy foods, like European chocolate.Click To Tweet

European chocolate doesn’t taste all waxy and nasty like our chocolate here. The European chocolates are Aldi are pretty cheap, too. It’s not worth the calories for you to eat crappy chocolate (so throw away that leftover candy from whatever Holiday just passed. Bleh).

Aldi is also making improvements and working on:

  • Expanding their organic and gluten-free stash
  • Removing some more artificial ingredients (they have having removed certified synthetic colors, partially hydrogenated oils, and MSG from their private-label products)
  • Expanding their fresh and organic meat and produce, with their “Never Any!” brand of meats with no added antibiotics, additives, hormones,  or animal by-products
  • Expanding their SimpleNature line (free of more than 125 artificial ingredients – yipee)
  • Expanding their yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, etc. to be free of artificial growth hormones (like their milk is)

They are expanding so we won’t! See what I did there?

Yes, you can eat real, healthy foods on a budget now.

Remember to check Aldi’s frozen food section for veggies and other healthy thinggies for easy-to-fix meals. It’s all about easy. Easy helps you stick to your plan.

If you come home from the store and don’t have anything healthy to make quick, all bets are off and the idea of eating healthy goes to hell in a hand basket.Click To Tweet

Because when I’m hungry, I’m hungry now.

Don’t forget to bring a quarter for the shopping cart and your own bags. Laying across the front seat and scrounging in the car for a quarter is not the most flattering of positions…

Do you have an Aldi near you? Do you shop there or where do you like to shop for healthy foods that aren’t frighteningly expensive? Trader Joe’s is still one of my faves, but paying over $4 for cheese is a little off putting. But I still love that store…and their free coffee. You?

Let's hear from you. (If you are not logged in, click on You Must Be Logged In...and log in through your social media or email)

what a weekend!!!

Thanks to all those who dined with us this past weekend (and for those who tried). I believe the total head count was over 230 people in three days.

I really didn't think we could serve that many people in a whole week. The restaurant is definitely exceeding any expectations I had from a production standpoint. And I truly am pleased with the food. It is so fun to concentrate on just 3-5 dishes each day and really "get them right".

I know many of you are excited for the retail portion to get started. We are as well, but obviously our original business model has been put on hold for now due to circumstance beyond our control. Once we have the resources and time to make the retail happen, we will. We thank you all for your patience

In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you at the restaurant soon.

Tomuyamukun / tom yum goong

Here is the tom yum goong I longed for. I finally was able to make this simple soup that indeed reminds me of what I routinely had from a locally popular Isan restaurant near my apartment in Bangkok. There is no secret. As with any cuisine, all you need is good ingredients. What I learned from my trials and errors over the years is not to add too much of aromatic ingredients and make a good stock.

1/4 of recipe:
111 calories; 14.9 g protein; 2.0 g fat; 10.3 g carbohydrate; 8.1 g net carbs; 427 mg sodium; 93 mg cholesterol; 2.3 g fiber

(Serves 4)

16-20 (approx. 1 lb/450 g) shrimp with heads & shells (use heads & shells of 10 shrimp for stock below)
2-3 (150-160 g) medium eringi king oyster mushrooms

For stock
1,000 cc water
100 g shrimp heads & shells (equivalent to heads and shells of 10 or so medium-size shrimp)
5 prik kee noo Thai peppers
1/4-1/3 stalk lemon grass (1/3 stalk or 12 g used for recipe)
3-4 slices galangal Thai ginger (10 g in photo)
3-4 medium kaffir lime leaves
Handful (10-15 g) cilantro stems (cilantro root substitute; use leaves for topping)

For seasoning
1 tsp tamarind paste
1 tbsp nam prik pao Thai red chili paste
2 1/4 tsp nam pla
1/2 lime

Handful cilantro leaves (for topping)

Remove shrimp heads and shells. Keep 100 g for this recipe, and save the rest for another use.
Chop lemon grass and cilantro stems.
Chop Thai peppers, and pound in mortar.

Heat medium pan, put shrimp heads and shells, and cook (without water) until turning pink, while crushing heads with spatula.

When all shrimp shells are basically pink, pour some water, go over bottom with spatula to get all the good flavor from shrimp, and simmer for a while, until all shrimp shells are pink.

Pour remainder of water, add Thai pepper, galangal, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves and cilantro stems.

Once boiling, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 20-30 minutes, skimming from time to time.

Meanwhile, devein shrimp, clean with potato starch, rinse, and drain well.

Cut eringi oyster mushrooms into 3-4 cm in length and slice thickly.

Strain and obtain 800 cc stock.
If not enough, add water to get 800 cc.
Heat stock, add eringi, and simmer.

When eringi is done, add tamarind paste, man prik pao, and 2/3 of specified amount of (1 1/2 tsp) nam pla.

When broth boils again, add shrimp, and cook until opaque.
Squeeze lime.
Taste, and add more nam pla as necessary.

Serve with cilantro leaves (and lime wedges).

  • Eringi is a substitute for straw mushrooms typically used in tom yum goon. Among fresh mushrooms available in the Pacific Northwest, eringi seems the best substitute, as it does not add the sourness of button mushrooms or bitterness of shimeji mushrooms.
  • I use nam pla with 690 mg sodium per tablespoon.
  • Broth, if you have leftovers, makes a great soup base for noodles or zosui soupy rice.
  • Sodium content of stock above is 409 mg sodium per 800 cc.
