Seven years ago today, I was in a car accident. The reason that comes to mind is that Z called me this morning to tell me he'd been in one today. I remember the date because it was the day that Z was allowed to break the news to the school, where he was working at the time, that he was accepting another position in the school district. Instead of making that announcement, he had to come take care of his wife--I really screwed that up for him, didn't I?
That day seven years ago brings to mind a number of interesting facts.
I was rear-ended as I stood still by a guy in a black car who was going 35 or more miles per hour. His air bag deployed. He had passed out and was just coming to when I got out of my car. I'm sure he about croaked when he saw my seven-months-pregnant body.
As soon as I got out, a man approached me. He told me that he was an under-cover narcotics officer (flashed his badge) and said he'd help get things under control. He got the tow truck there and started directing traffic. My van was a mess in the back. I had a difficult time getting it farther onto the shoulder of the road. Our former bishop drove by, pulled over up the road a ways and came over to help me and make sure all was well.
So, does anyone else see the distinct tender mercies in this?
The other thing that was amazing to me was that I was completely unharmed. At impact, I felt that I had been lightly tapped in the back although I heard the screeching tires. As I recall, when the accident occured, the other driver was attempting to light a cigarette. He didn't even know I was there until it was way too late. I know my car felt the impact much more than I did. The dent in the back proved that along with the large bucket of Costco laundry detergent that had overturned and rolled to the other side of the car.
Here's what makes this a Twilight Zone moment....
That evening, we went to a car rental agency to rent a van. As we walked around to the front door, we were greeted by a van-full of kids calling us by name and inquiring as to why we were there. We knew them from church. They were also there to rent a van.
Ends up that their mom, also named Julie, also seven months pregnant with her fifth child, which was also a boy, and also driving a Mazda MPV minivan (which, as I recall, was the same champagne color as ours) was hit by a black vehicle. She was just on her way home from taking her kids to the dentist; I was just going to the dentist, and thankfully, had no children in my van. We had both spent a portion of the day at the hospital having our unborn babies monitored. Both MPVs were totalled as a result of the accidents.
Amazing, huh?
So, today's accident was in the Suburban that we purchased to replace that MPV. Everyone's okay. It was a really dumb circumstance and just too bad it happened at all.

The Goods with the Bads
I'm giving myself ten minutes to blog today. Unfortunately, this is a topic that I could probably write about for much longer than that.
I put on my favorite pair of jeans this morning. They actually (almost) fit me again after having L. Yay! It is a jeans and comfy sweatshirt day. I'm trying very hard, in every way I know, to see myself through a very hard time. I honestly wish I didn't have this to go through, and I know I could just back out and avoid it altogether, but I won't do that. The consequences of that are much too far reaching and painful to even consider, so I know I have to get myself through it.
About three weeks ago, something happened in my life that shocked my socks off. For any of your concerned, no, I'm not pregnant. Someone very dear to me made a very selfish decision that affects me directly. Because it is this person's bad move, I can't really do anything about it. I can only watch this person suffer and try to respond appropriately with love, support and forgiveness. I'm not doing very well with this. My impulse is to condemn and berate; I want to punish. But, I know this isn't my place.
I mentioned, on facebook, that I was struggling. This issue has been so HUGE on my mind for the past weeks, that at this point it's consuming all of my thoughts. I had nothing else I could write as my status. It was so encouraging to feel the love of so many friends as they responded. Some of the responses seemed to assume I was struggling with my kids. Thankfully, no, the kids are not the cause of my struggle--any more than any other day. So many wrote asking how they could help. Believe me, I would gladly give this away, but I wouldn't wish it on anyone. There really is no way to help. A rough part of my character has been rubbed and needs to be removed, so I am the only one who can deal with it, and God is the only one who can help me. It's so nice to know that I'm not alone in this.
There have been a number of tender mercies through all this. Yesterday, our bishop spoke in sacrament meeting. This is kind of a rare occasion. He based his talk on the story from Genesis 18, in which Sodom and Gomorrah are going to be destroyed and Abraham asks God if He will spare the cities if there are fifty righteous people found there; when there are no longer any righteous there, God destroys Sodom and Gomorrah. The bishop encouraged us to be among the righteous that saves those around us. As he spoke, I realized that God is aware of me and my plight. I could see that this was Heavenly Father's way of telling me to do what is right no matter what. I have to stay on course for the sake of others.
You don't know how badly I'm struggling with being Christ-like in this situation. I know I need to be and that I must be forgiving because I know that I too need to be forgiven, but the inward struggle is terrible. I'm not all that that I can condemn someone else. I'm not worthy of casting stones. But, my trust has been shattered toward this person. So, I'm wondering, is my lack of trust also a sign of lack of forgiveness? Is it just making the whole forgiveness process more difficult?
Another of the tender mercies I received was last night as I read the scriptures. I came across Alma 31 verse 31. It was exactly the prayer I needed. I am grateful that I'm not the other person in this situation, but the words of Alma here until the end of the chapter help me know that I shouldn't give up on this person, but that I MUST lean on the Lord to guide me through what lies ahead.
I know that riding through the storm will only make me stronger and more fit to deal with other things in the future (I started to write "worse," but I hope that I don't have to go through anything worse). I'm wishing that time would pass quickly so this will all be behind us.
Late last week, I drove by one of those loving, reassuring messages on a church message board. It read, "Tough times don't last; tough people do." I am determined to be tough.

My Children Think...
Now, I know what you're doing. You're wiping your brow and exhaling "Whew!" at that title. Relieved to know that they do what might not come across as obvious with most children--especially those of the teenaged variety.
My purpose here is not so much to relieve your concerns about their cognitive abilities as it is to share a little of what they think--things that I'm learning about myself as I try to look through their eyes.
My children think:
*That I can take pain away with a kiss.
*That I can create a song on a whim about any subject.
Just ask them about the "Macaroni and Cheese" song--a true Hess family classic.
*That I can teach a toddler to stop using diapers with a bag of M&Ms.
*That I can stop any baby from crying just by holding him/her.
*That I can spend very little and come home with bags and bags of groceries.
*That I am a straight A student--HAHA don't I wish!
*That I "rule the universe."
Very funny story behind this one....
We'd had a tough time with bedtime for quite a while with T. I was very tired of it and knew something had to be done to end it once and for all. A was sick at the time (they share a room), and had to have some sleep, so I knew I had to move T somewhere else. I moved him to the laundry room on a crib mattress. I was nervous to do this because I knew T's history with climbing and getting bottles of things and spilling them all over the floor. If he was to be in the laundry room, the light had to be off and the door shut, so he wouldn't be able to see bottles to spill. I hated doing this, so it lasted about two minutes, and I sent him back to his room to see if he could be quiet. He went right back to his monkey business, so I had to think of another place.
I explained to him that the only place for him was the backyard. This was early September, and the weather was still warm and beautiful. As I took him out there, G carried the mattress for me. I got to thinking just how beautiful the stars were and wondered if I might sleep out there that night too--honestly just a passing thought, but I did think it. As we went out, G looked at me quite concerned saying, "Mom, you're not really going to do this, are you?" I was surprised that G didn't know me better than that; actually, I guess he must; that's why he asked.
I quietly whispered to G, "Give him five minutes, and he'll be begging to come back in to sleep."
We laid out the mattress on the deck and covered it with his blankets and pillow. It looked quite comfy. As we did this, we started with the warnings of the wildlife that might come around--racoons, spiders and slugs. He could be as loud as he wanted out there to scare them away. I then told him that we'd be right inside if he needed us but this was the only option he had if A was going to get the sleep he needed.
T didn't even get all the way up the steps to the mattress before he came running to me. He threw his arms around my waist and cried, "Please Mom, I don't want to sleep out here. The racoons'll get me!"
I sat down with him and hugged him. I said, "T, I would love to have you go inside to sleep; I don't want you to sleep outside, but it's the only place you can make the noise you want to, and A really needs his sleep tonight."
He said, "I'll be quiet."
"Are you sure? Can you do it? If you can't, what'll have to happen?"
"I'll have to sleep with the racoons."
"Yes, and neither of us want that to happen, huh?"
"So, can you do it?"
"Okay, let's go try it."
T joyfully grabbed his pillow, headed into the house, and up the stairs. As we climbed the stairs behind him, G leaned over to me and whispered, "When I grow up, I want to be like my mom 'cuz she rules the universe."
We heard no further sounds from T that night.
*That I can get any stain out of any item of clothing.
*That I sing like an angel.
The only reason I list these things is because none of them are true, but they are to seven people in my house. Nothing is, but the believing makes it so; isn't there a quote like this? It seems that I spend a lot of time brow-beating myself for the things I can't do. I guess I need to look at life through my kids' eyes a bit more often to see what I can.
I read a blog this afternoon entitled Cranberry Corner (I'm sorry, but I don't know why I can't link to it). At the very end of one of her posts, she wrote "Mothers are so powerful." As I read that, I started thinking about all the things my kids think I can do. I rarely think of myself as a powerful being. That's why I thought of this list. It's a short one, but now that I see that they think I can do so many things. I'm going to start searching for my motherly powers. This should only empower me more....I hope.

I'm sitting here on the couch with a sweet, recently fed, sleeping three-month-old on my lap. I'm typing with one hand--my left; something I'm becoming really good at. This baby makes me so happy--nearly giddy sometimes--her instantaneous smiles, her what have recently become almost continual, precious babblings that I wish I could understand. What a blessing! I feel so unworthy of her.

Amazon unveils new Fire TV streaming video box
Amazon.com is officially entering the streaming video set-top box competition.
The online retailer-turned tech company and content provider announced its new Amazon Fire TV product today at an event in New York. The $99 device is available for order now on Amazon.com.
The 0.7-inch thin Wi-Fi-supporting set-top box streams 1080p high-definition broadcasts and connects to your TV via HDMI. It comes with a remote that lets you use voice to search for content; a $39.99 controller for playing video games is available separately.
"Tiny box, huge specs, tons of content, incredible price — people are going to love Fire TV," Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos said in a statement. And our open approach gives you not just Amazon Instant Video and Prime Instant Video, but also Netflix, Hulu Plus and more. On Fire TV, you can watch Alpha House and House of Cards."
Amazon hopes Fire TV gives it an advantage over streaming competitor Netflix, which does not sell its own connected devices but is available on more than 1,000 devices, including smart TVs, Blu-ray Disc players and video game consoles. And it designed its new settop box to be more powerful than competing devices from Apple, Google and Roku.
"When we started looking at these technologies in the lab, it became pretty apparent they were underpowered," said Dave Limp, Amazon's vice president of devices. A quad-core processor and improved Wi-Fi connectivity makes Fire TV "super fluid and very responsive, which we didn't see in other devices in this category."
Fire TV will become available at retail later this month at Best Buy and Staples stores. A free month of Amazon Prime and Netflix comes with a Fire TV purchase for those who don't already subscribe.
Amazon "sees the millions of set-top boxes that they sell; they know this is a hot market," said analyst James McQuivey, author of Digital Disruption: Unleashing the Next Wave of Innovation. McQuivey was among several analysts and tech journalists attending the event, providing updates on Twitter about Amazon's announcement.
The new set-top box, unveiled by Peter Larsen, the company's vice president in charge of Kindle, is "very thin, about the size of a small piece of toast," McQuivey said.
BTIG analyst Rich Greenfield posted that the arrival of Fire TV isn't necessarily bad news for Netflix, which is a competitor in terms of streaming video content. For Netflix, the "more IP-enabled TVs the better," he noted on Twitter. "Makes it easier to get to their service on the big screen."
Among services beyond Amazon Instant Video and Netflix that are available on the device: WatchESPN; Hulu; Pandora; YouTube; Qello; Crackle, Showtime and Vimeo; and music services Amazon MP3, TuneIn, Pandora, iHeartRadio and Vevo.
Amazon announced the availability of its first video game, Sev Zero, from Amazon Game Studios. The sci-fi action game is played on TV with the Fire TV controller; another player can join in at the same time on a Kindle Fire tablet.
It could be content that ultimately helps Fire TV succeed, says Digital World Research analyst P.J. McNealy. "The FireTV shows again that an aggregator must have exclusive content to differentiate a platform, too," he says. "Amazon is creating its own video content and is spending millions of dollars today on building up a suite of exclusive games."

Valerio Karg's playful approach to the world of electronic music production corresponds to the character he displays as a self made man. Thus, it explains the way he handles his live presentation in a very playful fashion.
Encountering a sequencer and a drum machine in the studio of his brother around the year 2000 set the 13 year old immediately in motion. Every time his brother's band paused for a cigarette, the teenager fiddled about the knobs trying to tackle the problem of how to program a beat. At the age of 16, the newborn producer acquired his first computer he uses for his first studio ventures. First influences range from the trippy sounds of acts such as Massive Attack to the opposite corner in electronic music, namely Goa and Trance. What he brought to fruition was in the vein of Bristol's Trip Hop fame: Together with befriended MC Kelly Bowden, who fancied Tricky's way of toasting, Valerio performed as Elastics. It was also Kelly who suggested Hiding Jekyll as his band mates' present artist name. The relaxed atmosphere of that musical period helped to develop the House- and Techno sound Valerio is producing by now. The album-tracks in the making are suited for listening and for dancefloor action as well.
Backed by some encouraging feedback from musical collegues, an inner urge to produce music not only for self-indulgence grew larger. The long-lasting process which went along with the testing of various digital set up-situations finally matured to become a real live act in springtime 2012. Valerio's ambition to organize the material in a way which makes it possible to manipulate single tracks, thus comprising a unique live performance which can't be repeated another time, is his strife for authenticity. This is the core of Hiding Jekyll, a name which is synonymous with his activities as a live unit.
But there are DJ activities too. Those ventures are undertaken by a team of two people, namely Valerio plus musical companion and friend Lion Graf who had to persuade his future partner to become a DJ. After the initial success of a live performance, the two had an opportunity to a residence job, but none of them had actually ever spun records. So they sat down and organized the tracks to-the-minute for a party in only three days. Nowadays, the DJ Gigs are a good opportunity to check Valerio's track layouts in real-time situations. They've never had a let-down so far, which is the best and most honest feedback you can get from a crowd. The two DJs perform under the name Mirrormade Project stylistically music akin to Hiding Jekyll which means a vibrant mixture of Tech-, Deep-House and Techno.

Can the Mind Heal the Body? - That's the conclusion of a recent scholarly article in the Archives of General Psychiatry. Such research, showing intriguing connections between physical health and states of mind, has come in a steady flow for decades. While some studies are challenged or discredited, others replace them.
Ordinary Americans seem more comfortable than medical researchers with the idea that thoughts can control experience. The idea is embedded in popular culture: In the 1950 musical "Guys and Dolls" the humorous song "Adelaide's Lament" tells the story of a woman whose frustration in not getting married brings on a cold.
But what exactly is the relationship between mind and body? How strong is it? How is it evoked and how does it work?
In The Cure Within, Anne Harrington traces the mind-body connection through the centuries and in its many manifestations. Harrington, chair of the history of science department at Harvard University, finds that mind-body medicine is really a "patchwork" of widely differing beliefs and approaches that often "pull in different directions."
The many manifestations of mind-body healing make for fascinating reading, though her own conclusion on the subject is no more definitive than "let a thousand therapies bloom" alongside conventional, technological medicine.
The reductionist, "physicalist" medicine of today views disease as wholly a material phenomenon, she says. Disease has no meaning beyond being a natural physical process. Yet patients continue to seek out alternative meanings and methods. They see stories in their illnesses. Understanding these stories, they feel, will help lead to wholeness. When their bodies fail them, when they fall ill, people want to know the "why" questions: They ask "Why me? Why now? What next?" she says.
A broader tent for treating disease, Harrington says, would allow "that there is more to physical illness than can be seen just in the body; and more to healing than can be found in just pills and shots. Mind matters too: how one thinks, how one feels, what kind of personality or character one has or cultivates."
In the book readers encounter individuals such as 18th-century physician Franz Anton Mesmer and his form of healing through hypnotism, called mesmerism; Sigmund Freud and the birth of psychoanalysis, which explores the idea that "every illness was more than just a biological event; it was also a biographical event rich with (usually hidden) meaning...."
In the mid-20th century, Norman Vincent Peale, pastor of the Marble Collegiate Church in New York City, wrote a wildly popular book, "The Power of Positive Thinking," urging ordinarily Americans to employ mind-body ideas to help themselves. Writer Norman Cousins's "The Anatomy of an Illness (as Perceived by the Patient)" told how he defeated his own severe physical ailment through laughter (including watching Marx Brothers movies). Harvard cardiologist Herbert Benson Westernized meditation as healing through his "relaxation response."
In her own research, Harrington has studied the "placebo effect" – the ability of fake drugs or even fake surgery to heal, an effect that continues to perplex researchers. In a broader sense, she asks, might peoples' bodies today listen and respond to scientists or doctors, "people they believe to speak with the authority of science"? We need to reflect on the "larger implications" of what that would mean, Harrington says.
Religion is a taproot for today's secular explorations into mind-body connections, she acknowledges. The Bible is filled with physical healings accomplished through prayer only. Some modern-day Christian denominations, such as Christian Science, emphasize physical healing. But Christian Science, for example, does not see true healing as the result of the action of the human mind, but as the natural effect of communing with the divine Mind, or God. To many religious adherents, religious healing is much more than the "supercharged placebo effect" Harrington grants it.
One way of looking at mental healing suggests that love may have a lot to do with it. In 2000, Robert Putnam, the author of "Bowling Alone," noted: "As a rough rule of thumb, if you belong to no groups but decide to join one, you cut your risk of dying over the next year in half." Statistically, feeling part of a group was about as effective in improving health as stopping smoking.
Studies of children separated from their parents in wartime Britain, postwar Germany, and later in state orphanages in communist Romania, showed that babies given adequate food, shelter, clothing, and medical care, but without attention from a mother or other loving caregiver, fell ill and died at a higher rate than those whose physical care was less good but who received loving attention. Even in a less-than-sanitary women's prison nursery in the United States, researchers found that "The mothers' love had proven a better deterrent to infection than the most conscientious of good hygiene practices," Harrington says.
Applying the power of the human mind to the body continues today to evoke healing effects, even if the causes behind them and their potential as reliable therapies remain a subject of debate. Might human mind-over-matter only hint at something more at work? Harrington doesn't go that far, but she does seem convinced that exploring – and even employing – the mind-body connection is a worthwhile endeavor.

It's rare for us to find a fragrance that we love wearing year-round. It needs to be a versatile scent that's complex enough for the fall and bright enough for the summer, but isn't overbearing. Which is why we're such fans of Nicole by Nicole Richie, the debut scent from the reality star-turned-perfumer. Inspired by Richie's memory of her mother's favorite beauty ritual—creating unique fragrances by layering bath oils, lotions and perfume—the scent is both warm and bold, with hints of smooth vanilla rounded out by the brightness of blackberry and Moroccan rose. Plus, the chic and compact art deco-inspired bottle makes the perfect addition to any purse.
Love this scent. This is one of the first times I have ordered a perfume online that I had not previously tested or worn. I was NOT disappointed. Not overpowering but just the right amount of feminine, sweet vanilla goodness, to wear anywhere. The rollerball was smooth and the perfume went on very nicely.5
I bought this roll-on after receiving a sample in my Birchbox. After going through the whole sample, I decided I needed to have it all the time. The roll-on is quick and easy and I keep It in my purse. The boyfriend loves the light, slightly spicy fragrance. I will continue buying this product.5

Nearly five months after dropping out of the Republican primary after her last-place finish in the Iowa caucuses, Michele Bachmann made history in Texas last night, becoming only the second female candidate to win a GOP delegate, and the first in nearly a half century.
While Bachmann quit the race in early January, she had already gained ballot access in a number of states, including Texas—where the proportional delegate allocation system netted her first delegate, despite receiving less than one percent of the vote in the Lone Star State. The achievement means little in practical terms, but it serves as a sobering reminder of the problems that the GOP has had appealing to women.
National polling consistently shows a gender gap with women favoring Democrats—a party that has had Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House and almost had Hillary Clinton as its nominee in 2008. In contrast, the GOP has produced relatively few national prominent female leaders, the most notable being Sarah Palin.
The only other Republican woman to receive delegates was Maine Sen. Margaret Chase Smith in 1964. Smith was the ideological antithesis of the ultra-conservative Bachmann, a New England liberal Republican who was the first senator to speak out against Joe McCarthy. Like Bachmann, Smith was a long shot in the confused 1964 GOP primary as the Republican establishment desperately tried to avoid handing Barry Goldwater the party's nomination. Smith had her name submitted to the convention on the first ballot and finished fifth. Since then, despite the candidacy of women like Elizabeth Dole and the political flirtations of Sarah Palin, every single delegate awarded in a Republican primary has been awarded to a man.
This 48-year gap, and the related gender gap in Republican support, has contributed to the party losing the popular vote in four of the past five presidential elections. Without the emergence of more nationally prominent Republican women in future years, that trend is likely to continue.

Yes. Mojito Cake. The refreshing taste of a mojito in cake form?! Sign me up!
A little throwback Thursday story before we get into the recipe. 3 years ago before Nick became my boyfriend and 2 years before going gluten free and dairy free, I went to his graduation party. For dessert was a homemade mojito cake. When I first had a slice of this cake it was amazing. It's light yellow cake with the crisp flavor of lime and hints of rum throughout make it absolutely delightful. The rum is not an overpowering taste at all and the lime really makes the cake come alive. It's just delicious.
Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago. Nick and I for a while have been saying "we have to make the mojito cake, we have to make the mojito cake" for months but just never did and FINALLY (after he made it for his co-workers a few times) it my turn to have a gluten free version of this cake. Now we didn't use the King Arthur Gluten Free flour for this recipe because I can't find their GF yellow cake to save my life! (If anyone knows were to find it PLEASE let me know!) We opted for our trusty Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix and it was delicious. It's a Betty Crocker recipe adapted to be gluten free and dairy free. Ok even chatter, let's make some mojito cake batter!
Gluten Free Mojito Cake
Adapted from Betty Crocker
For Cake:
- 1 box Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow cake mix
- 1 cup lemon-lime flavored carbonated water (my boyfriend actually found mojito flavored carbonated water and used that and it was great but lemon-lime will also work!)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup rum (your favorite) we used Bacardi which is gluten-free
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
- 2 teaspoons grated lime peel
- 3 eggs
For Glaze:
- ½ cup dairy free butter (Earth Balance)
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup rum
For Garnish:
- Powdered sugar
- 15 fresh mint leaves, if desired – recommended
- Extra shot of rum, if desired – I recommend it!
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Spray bottom only of 13×9 inch pan with baking spray with flour.
- In large bowl, beat cake ingredients (except the carbonated water) with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Slowing stir in the carbonated water, scraping the bowl occasionally until all the water is incorporated into the batter. Pour batter into pan.
- Bake as directed on box for 13×9-inch pan. Cool 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix glaze ingredients.
- Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium; continue to boil 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until glaze has thickened slightly.
- Poke warm cake every inch with a fork. Pour glaze slowly over cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour. **EXTRA STEP** My boyfriend's co-worker suggested that after pouring the glaze over the cake and the cake completely cools, add ANOTHER shot of rum. JUST ONE. If you want a little extra rum kick when you first bite into the cake, definitely add the extra shot – totally up to you!
- Garnish cake with powdered sugar, mint leaf and shredded lime peel. Store loosely covered.
The corner pieces are the best parts (they soak up all the yummy glaze). The whole cake honestly is scrumptious and you may be craving this cake after it's finished for a while. I know I was!

It has taken fifty-something odd years of life, but Irene is finally fed-up. Who knew that the baby boomers would end up aging? Our parents are older and need us now. Our children are grown, but just won't leave. We have aches, and pains, and mortgages, and worries of all types. Our width-to-height ratio insists on its creeping approach to one, and it isn't the "one with the universe" we were hoping to have achieved by now.
Irene has decided that enough is enough. She is sick and tired of being sick and tired and is ready for change in a big way. If the state of the world today is what we have made of it, then the state of Irene may also be of her own making. Speaking of "one with the universe" if the new environmentalism is all about the food we eat, maybe our health is too.
Irene thinks so. Irene has decided to become a vegan!
AN UNLIKELY VEGAN is a documentary about Irene, the state of her health, the power of her wit, and her resolve as she embarks on the 21-day VEGAN Kickstart, promoted by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). We follow Irene from the moment she discusses her plan with her medical doctor. We go grocery shopping with her, We watch her learn new recipes. We see how she manages at restaurants, and at the office. We hear what her doctor tells her as she progresses through the Kickstart, and we see how her friends and family react. Through Irene's experience, we see that she is not such AN UNLIKELY VEGAN, and perhaps neither are we.

Most people who have a passing acquaintance with African music are familiar with juju music from Nigeria, and its most famous practitioner, King Sunny Ade. If they've done a little more exploring they've probably come across the music of Ebenezer Obey, I.K. Dairo or Dele Abiodun.
Chances are, though, that they've never heard of "General" Prince Adekunle, which is a shame, because he's easily among the first rank of juju artistes. I have been unable to find out anything about Mr. Adekunle personally, or where he may have served his musical apprenticeship. He seems to have made his first recordings in the late 1960s (I suspect he adopted the moniker "General" as a tribute to to the controversial "Black Scorpion," General Benjamin Adekunle, who played a critical role on the Federal side during the Biafra War.)
During his 1970s glory days Adekunle's Western Brothers band (later renamed the Supersonic Sounds) was the proving ground for numerous juju musicians, notably Segun Adewale and Sir Shina Peters, who have acheived far more fame internationally than their mentor. He issued numerous popular recordings during that decade, his output slowing during the 1980s. After 1990's People!!! (Ibukun Orisun Iye MOLPS 118) little has been heard from him. His decline in popularity seems to parallel the declining fortunes of juju itself.
In the hopes of giving more attention to this unjustly neglected artist, I present here a sample of recordings by Mr. Adekunle, all from the late '60s or 1970s. With the exception of the 1975 selection, these are taken from cassette reissues rather than the original vinyl. The sound quality, though, isn't too bad, and I think you'll agree that the musicianship more than compensates for any deficiencies.
Our first three tunes are from a cassette entitled Good Old Music of Prince Adekunle (Ibukun Orisun Iye MOLPS 72), which compiled a number of 45s made by Adekunle at the beginning of his career, probably in the late '60s. "Bisimilai" is notable for its use of the trumpet, almost unheard of in juju, while "Ko Sore Bi Jesu/Ofofo O Da" pays tribute to Victor Uwaifo's "Joromi" in its opening bars:
Prince Adekunle & his Western Brothers - Bisimilai
Prince Adekunle & his Western Brothers - Se Rere Fun Mi
Prince Adekunle & his Western Brothers - Ko Sore Bi Jesu/Ofofo O Da
1972's General Prince Adekunle in the United Kingdom (Ibukun Orisun Iye MOLPS 6), finds Adekunle & the band in an expansive mood, in one of those 18-minute jams that had by then become de riguer for any juju band:
General Prince Akekunle & his Western Brothers - London Special
By 1975 the Western Brothers had become the Supersonic Sounds, and had developed an even spacier, more "psychedelic" sound. Although Side A of You Tell Me That You Love Me Baby (Ibukun Orisun Iye MOLPS 30) is one of the more exciting, danceable sequences in the juju canon, check out the groove Adekunle & the band get going on this, the B side:
General Prince Adekunle & his Supersonic Sounds - Aiye Nreti Eleya/Aropin Ni T'enia/Eni To Lohun o Fe Tiwa/Awon Ma Wo Won Bo/Ota Ile Dehin Lehin Mi
One thing I find especially charming about juju recordings of the '70s is the musicians' penchant for dropping into the mix anything that catches their fancy: church hyms, Broadway show tunes, what have you. Catch Adekunle's quotation from Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's "Gentleman" late in this medley from 1976's Awodi Nfo Ferere (Ibukun Orisun Iye MOLPS 32):
General Prince Adekunle & his Supersonic Sounds - Omo Niyi Omo Nide/A Ki Nromo Ra Loja/Ma Se'ka Iwo Ore/Esan Nbo Wa

Cheap Eats in Austin: 10 Dishes We Love Under $10
With several new restaurants opening every month, there's no shortage of great places to eat in Austin. But because most of these new places typically charge $20 to $30 per entrée, it can be hard on both your stomach and your wallet to keep up. Don't feel too bad for us Austinites, though—there are plenty of budget-friendly options out there if you know where to look. We've rounded up ten wallet-friendly dishes that are guaranteed to keep you fueled through the panels, parties, shows, and other South by Southwest events starting this week.
Food Trucks
Three Little Pigs
Food trucks are the obvious solution for serious eaters on a budget. But if you're not careful, you can sometimes pay the same (or more) for mediocre food, without getting any of the restaurant extras like air conditioning, comfortable seating, and table service. Three Little Pigs epitomizes the food truck dream of restaurant-quality fare for a fraction of the price.
You'll always find chef/owner Raymond Tatum manning the kitchen. All three items on the regular menu cost only $7.00, and the Cracklin' Meatloaf is a consistent favorite. The edges of the thick slice are crispy, and the smooth ground beef is dotted with pieces of carrot and celery, topped with a rich brown gravy. Every component of the dish, from the zesty collard greens with bacon to the bed of cheesy grits on which it's served, is perfectly seasoned. Since it also happens to be on the property of East End Wines, you can even buy a bottle to drink with your meal.
The homemade linguine takes center stage at this food truck, parked next to The Vortex theater. It's a revival of the original (now closed) Patrizi's Italian restaurant in Beaumont, Texas. Chef/owner Nic Patrizi is currently using his family's old recipes at this distinctly Austin interpretation. The Cacio e Pepe ($10.00) highlights the silky richness of the pasta with olive oil, piles of coarsely ground black, and liberal shavings of Grana Padano cheese.
Local Favorites
Dart Bowl
This old-school bowling alley is an Austin institution, and the décor of its Tex-Mex café will transport you back to the 1960s, replete with vinyl booths and kitschy knick-knacks like sombreros, cowboy hats, and deer horns hanging on the wall. Although they serve the requisite jalapeño cheeseburger with fries, Dart Bowl is best known for their Enchiladas ($5.95). One skillet cradles three enchiladas filled with onions and cheese, smothered in chili and more cheese. You can make it a full dinner with rice and beans for ($7.25) or top it with fried eggs for $1 more. Don't forget to order a margarita or Lone Star beer at the bar.
Fresa's Chicken al Carbon
There are several charcoal chicken joints in Austin—drive-thru restaurants selling smoky whole chickens cooked over mesquite. As the only spot in town using local and pasture-raised birds, Fresa's Chicken al Carbon gets some criticism for their high prices. But the other charcoal chicken joints don't sell the Jerez Salad ($8.00), which is one of the most satisfying and healthy, not to mention quickest, lunches in town. The tangy sherry-based dressing coats creamy chickpeas, tempering the saltiness of queso fresco and the bite of red onions. But it's the large chunks of pulled achiote chicken, piled on the salad, that complete it. Best of all, you can order it without even getting out of your car.
Joe's Bakery
Joe's Bakery has been on the Eastside since before the neighborhood was cool. Their freshly made flour tortillas served in a basket, huge platters of egg dishes loaded with rich refried beans, and bottomless cups of coffee make it the ultimate Tex-Mex breakfast stop after a late night out. The Migas Plate ($6.49) heaped with fluffy scrambled eggs, corn chips, and cheese (adding onions, tomatoes, and jalapeños is $0.30 more) is an obvious go-to dish, but the chorizo and eggs are also a great choice if you're craving something a little greasier.
Asian Food
Roll On Sushi Diner
The Beefy Texas Roll ($6.95) at Roll On Sushi Diner isn't Asian food in the strictest sense, of course. But filled with tender smoked brisket and avocado, doused in BBQ mayo (like a smoky remoulade sauce) and fried shallots, it's a uniquely delicious dish that somehow works. Actually, the restaurant makes several other equally creative Austin-inspired rolls, and it's a nice reminder that sushi doesn't have to be serious all the time.
Duy Vietnamese and Chinese Restaurant
The Chinese takeout options at Duy Vietnamese and Chinese Restaurant like General Tso's chicken seem like a guise to attract hesitant diners. This Vietnamese-owned restaurant makes several soups that are unavailable elsewhere in town like the Bánh Mì Bò Kho, or Vietnamese beef stew, ($7.50). The orange-tinged beef broth, enriched with fish sauce, is packed with diced green onions, large pieces of soft cooked carrot, and fatty chunks of beef and tendon. Of course it's served with a side of herbs, lime, and a generous hunk of French baguette for dipping.
Tonkotsu Original
The rich Tonkotsu Original ($8.75) at Ramen Tatsu-Ya is heavier than it looks, but you'll have plenty of time to work up an appetite while waiting in line. Yes, even after more than a year, there's still a long wait to try this broth, made with pork bones that are slow-cooked for 60 hours. Although the milky marrow broth is truly extraordinary, the garnishes—like a marinated soft-boiled egg and tender slices of crisp pork belly—almost succeed in overshadowing it.
Bar Food
In the North Loop neighborhood, drink.well focuses on craft cocktails, but there's also a nice menu to complement the drinks. And these aren't just paltry olives or nuts. The Acorn Squash Risotto ($8.00) is served in a shallow bowl filled to the brim with plump grains of rice suspended in a rich creaminess and dotted with bite-sized pieces of blue cheese and tender cubes of a squash. Crunchy pumpkin seeds finish the dish. The risotto is excellent on it's own, but you can order it topped with perfectly seasoned grilled chicken breast for $3 more.
The Hightower
A newly opened space on East 7th Street, The Hightower is also doing the cocktails and bar food thing. For $10, the Fried Boudin is enough for a full meal. Shredded pork shoulder and pork liver are combined with rice are well-balanced so that strong iron flavor doesn't overpower the boudin. The sausage is then rolled in saltine cracker crumbs and fried until nicely browned and crisp. The boudin balls arrive cradled in a buttery carrot puree and sweet-tart apple mostarda with a scattering of surprisingly refreshing purple hull peas and roasted carrots.

The PQ series pressure sensors are designed to monitor system pressure in pneumatic and compressed-air networks of machines and plants. The sensors can be used for both relative and differential pressure measurement. This makes them particularly suited for monitoring of filters for soiling or clogging.
The measuring cell is insensitive to liquids or deposits that might occur in the system. It is overload protected and highly accurate.
A 4-digit LED display, which can be seen from a distance and easily read, and two pushbuttons allow easy set-up, maintenance and operation of the sensor. The display can be switched from the indication of "red" to an alternating indication of "red – green". So, switching states can be highlighted or an independent colour window can be created.
Sensors with analogue output can also be configured via IO-Link, e.g. using a USB interface. The LINERECORDER SENSOR software is used to visualise, transfer and archive parameter sets.

Summer field research and study in Southeast Alaska's Inside Passage – 2013 Courses filling fast!
The Tatoosh School is an independent, university-level field school with seasonal offices in Portland, Oregon and classrooms in the towns, oceans, and forests of Alaska's Inside Passage. It is the school's mission to foster first-hand learning about the ecology and environmental policy of southern Southeast Alaska.
Rigorous academics focus on the development of a sense of place and passion for civic engagement, and a sound knowledge of the Pacific coastal rainforest. Students earn 12 units of credit and leave empowered to explore their surroundings with wide-eyed curiosity and to reach out as active and informed citizens.
Traveling by sea kayak through the islands that make up Southeast's Alexander Archipelago provides students with the opportunity to build outdoor leadership and technical skills. Lectures and assignments delve into topics ranging from island biogeography to contemporary timber management. Innovative curricula teach scientific curiosity and civic engagement in ways that students can take home and practice, building a six-week field course into a lifelong passion for wild learning.
Tatoosh School students become field scientists by participating in several established long-term ecological research programs together with our partners. These exciting projects provide students the opportunity to apply their understandings of Southeast's dynamic terrestrial, riparian, and nearshore marine ecosystems while contributing to a valuable body of scientific data that is, in turn, used to inform management decisions across the region.
Course I – June 19 through July 29, 2013
Course II – August 2 through September 11, 2013
Academic Course Descriptions (offered concurrently during both 6-week expeditions):
Natural History & Ecology of Southeast Alaska (6 units)
Southeast Alaska encompasses the Alexander Archipelago – composed of more than 5,000 islands – and a narrow strip of mountainous mainland, split by glacial fiords and major river systems. The land is home to an array of plant and animal life, and is considered the front lines of study in island biogeography. This course explores the natural environment from the nearshore intertidal zone to the high alpine, examining the adaptations and relationships of organisms to their environments over time and space.
Politics of Place: Southeast Alaska (6 units)
This course explores the political landscape of Southeast Alaska and covers a wide range of topics including land ownership, public and private land management, conservation strategies, local and regional economies, Alaska Native cultures, land settlements, corporate structures and current resource management issues. It focuses on the evolution of social and legal structures and how those structures guide current decision-making. Inquiry and reason are applied to real-life challenges, and students engage with citizens and policymakers to consider solutions.

Do you like a subtle print, for example? Then the O'Neill Chad Pattern men's flip-flops are the best choice for you. You can choose between tropical hibiscus, an Aztec print, cool camouflage colours, cork or anchors. These flip-flops – but also the O'Neill Chad flip-flops, which are available in different colours – feel as good as they look.

Let's get straight to the point: Some wit is carrying around cutouts of Leonardo DiCaprio, snapping pics at sights around New York City and documenting their rambles together on an Instagram account called "My Day With Leo." It is brilliant.
This delight comes via Gothamist. The account started in January with just a photo of Leo cuddling a swan, but the nameless creator responsible for this work of art is now snapping photos with Leo from his early years, mostly around Manhattan, in places like Grand Central, Bryant Park and the reading room of the New York Public Library's main branch. However, he/she has also captured the moment further afield, in Paris and, er, Poughkeepsie.
Meanwhile, a Russian theatre troupe apparently felt so bad after Leo lost for Best Actor that they've offered him a cast-iron Oscar made by a local company, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Anyway, enjoy (and there are many, many more over on Instagram):

The Arctic at Nordiska museet and NUS in the Arctic
Last week, the new exhibition The Arctic – while the ice is melting was inaugurated by Crown Princess Victoria at Nordiska museet in Stockholm. The exhibition has been produced in close cooperation with the research community.
Lotten Gustafsson Reinius, the current Hallwyl visiting professor, is sharing her time between Stockholm University and Nordiska museet. She has made great efforts to produce this exhibition herself, but has also coordinated researchers from across the Nordic countries as well as across disciplinary lines. Congratulations are in order to Nordiska museet, but also, and foremost, to the public that is now able to take part in an up-to-date, educational and exciting exhibition!
I am actually in the Arctic right now, at the Faroe Islands for a board meeting with NUS, the Nordic University Association, that Sweden is currently chairing. We follow the development in our Nordic neighbouring countries closely in regards to both overarching research policy as well as topical issues from the different universities. We have, among other things, discussed efforts against sexual harassment where we aim to deepen our Nordic cooperation. A main topic at the meeting is a framework to ensure research quality derived from the Swedish efforts in that field. Anders Söderholm, Director General of the Swedish Higher Education Authority is presenting the upcoming review of the universities' own efforts in regards to quality assurance. At the end of the year, Finland will take over the chairmanship of NUS and the main topic for the following two years will be sustainable development.

Kräl, Hans (d. 1583)
Hans Kräl was the head of the collective Hutterian brotherhood in Moravia 1578-1583. The chronicles designate him: "who is usually called the Kitzbüchler." The records of his trial indicate that he stemmed from the "Brichsental." He was one of the most active itinerant preachers until the spring of 1557, when he was seized in Taufers in the Puster Valley. The Geschicht-Buch gives an extremely graphic and detailed description (from his pen) of his capture and of his severe imprisonment, first in the dungeon of the castle tower, where his clothing rotted from his body and he nearly perished in filth and vermin, and then 37 weeks in the Block. He also described in a poem these sufferings as well as his steadfastness proved in "kindly" and in "racked" examinations. His imprisonment lasted 23 months. Since his conversion was apparently out of the question, and since he had furthermore won the admiration of Hans Fünger, who was holding him for the government, by his faithful and brave attitude, Fünger appealed to the emperor to have Kräl sentenced not to death, but to the galleys. Ferdinand granted this request on 19 January 1559, on condition that expenses be paid by Kräl's relatives or the judges. On the transport Kräl escaped when the guards became intoxicated at an inn at Niederorf: he went to Moravia, where he was chosen Diener der Notdurft in 1560, and Diener des Evangeliums in 1561, confirmed the following year (Beck, 24).
In spite of the risks he had undergone in Tyrol, Kräl again ventured several times into that area, and was one of the most courageous Hutterite preachers. He was an eyewitness of the execution of Mändl at Innsbruck in 1561. The following year the government learned that he had held meetings, preaching and baptizing in Kitzbühel around Götzens and Schwaz. In 1562 Kräl was again in Moravia, where he was made preacher. He went back to Tyrol several times without being caught.
After the death of Peter Walpot the Bruderhof at Neumühl elected him as their leader on 5 February 1578. He held office in the "golden time of the brotherhood" in Moravia. Except for the temporary clouding of his relations with John, Lord of Zierotin, at Ludenburg and the temporary closing of the household at Sobotište as well as the evacuation of Wostitz there was only progress to record, in spite of heavy taxation in the country. In Frischau and Porlitz and (for the third time) in Schackwitz new Bruderhofs were set up.
On 9 November 1583 Kräl became seriously ill; he summoned the elders once more to his deathbed, admonished them to hold fast to the brotherhood and to be faithful in performing their duty. He also charged them especially with the care of widows and orphans. At the age of about 63 he died at Neumühl 14 November 1583. The Väterlied characterizes him thus: "Constantly kind, of peaceful bearing, meek, also inclined to gentleness, well preserved in stocks and chains, in which he lay a long time, a man with whom good counsel could always be found, gifted with modesty." His particular merit lies in his continuation of the chronicle begun and carried to 1542 by Kaspar Braitmichel, the Geschicht-Buch, which he undertook with Haupprecht Zapff.

Major Boost for Regenerative Medicine Research
Nov 08 2010 Posted: 00:00 GMT
In a major boost for Regenerative Medicine research in Ireland, Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation, Mr Batt O'Keeffe T.D. today announced funding of almost €10 million for the Regenerative Medicine Institute (REMEDI) at NUI Galway. Funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI), REMEDI is Ireland's leading biomedical research institute focusing on translating stem cell biology to regenerative therapeutics. Today's announcement will allow REMEDI to take research findings from the first phase of its operation and move towards clinical trials for new therapies and treatments for degenerative diseases. Minister O Keeffe said the €9.69 million Government investment would help scientists to develop practical medical applications for their research. "For six years, leading scientists, engineers, clinicians and industry partners in REMEDI have worked towards new therapies to help organ and tissue repair and regeneration. The emphasis in recent years has been on commercialising ground-breaking work undertaken in the REMEDI laboratories. The support of the Government through an award of over €9 million from Science Foundation Ireland will help REMEDI to move their research to the next stage of clinical trials which could produce new therapies for human health, said Minister O Keeffe, who reiterated the Government s commitment to investment in research and innovation. Regenerative Medicine is an evolving and exciting area of medical science, which aims to regenerate tissue thus avoiding the need for organ replacement and the associated problems with sourcing of donor organs. Developments in the field hold enormous potential for the treatment of currently untreatable degenerative diseases. In a partnership involving scientists, engineers, clinicians, and industry partners, researchers at REMEDI aim to develop novel therapies to achieve organ and tissue repair and regeneration. The Regenerative Medicine Institute is particularly focused on developing new therapies and treatments for diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and osteoarthritis. Today's funding announcement comes on the back of additional support for regenerative medicine research at NUI Galway with a recent Higher Education Authority award of PRTLI funding to the value of €37 million for a Biosciences Research building and a Translational Research Facility. These two new buildings for medical science research will enable NUI Galway to build on its existing strength in the biomedical sciences area, established through its National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science (NCBES). The Biosciences Research Building, which is currently under construction and due for completion in 2011, is located on the main campus, while the Translational Research Facility will house basic, translational and clinical research teams on the site of University Hospital Galway and will open in 2012. The development of the Translational Research Facility at the hospital will promote the international standing of both the University and University Hospital Galway as a leading centre for translational research and cancer care. In a third development in the biomedical sciences area, a new Clinical Research Facility on the grounds of University Hospital Galway will open in 2012. The HRB Clinical Research Facility Galway is a joint venture between Galway University Hospitals and NUI Galway, with funding from the Health Research Board and Health Service Executive. This third facility will serve as the translational arm of REMEDI and will allow findings from basic research in stem cells, gene therapy, biomaterials and immunology to be brought to the clinical trial stage. NUI Galway President, Dr James J. Browne added: "We in NUI Galway are very proud of the work of REMEDI. In the six years since its establishment, the Institute has developed a critical mass of scientific research and industry partnerships with multi-national and indigenous companies. As it moves into the next exciting phase of development, REMEDI will bring new therapies and treatments for degenerative diseases to clinical trial here in Galway. This is ground breaking work and will support Ireland's position at the forefront of the medical technology sector globally." As REMEDI's focus shifts towards translating research into human therapies, its partnerships with industry will take on a new significance. Advances in regenerative medicine will have important advantages for the progression of research and development in the medical device industry, which is critical to the economy of the West of Ireland. The Institute's already successful collaborative relationship with Medtronic, a global leader in medical device technologies, will continue to grow; while new partnerships have been established with indigenous SME companies including Creganna-Tactyx Medical, Procure, Ovagen, Proxy Biomedical, Ziel Biopharma and EnBIO. Speaking about his vision for the Regenerative Medicine Institute, Director of REMEDI, Professor Tim O'Brien said: "REMEDI's vision is to develop a new and realisable paradigm for medicine in the future utilising minimally invasive therapeutic approaches to promote organ and tissue repair and regeneration. Our goal is to undertake basic research in stem cell biology and to translate the outputs into new regenerative therapies. To achieve this, REMEDI will work with partners in hospitals which are members of the Irish Clinical Research Infrastructure Network, in Irish and overseas universities, and in industry, to translate and commercialise research outputs by developing regenerative medicine therapies for diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and osteoarthritis." In addition to today's funding from Science Foundation Ireland, REMEDI has also had recent success in securing EU research funding for two projects to develop new methods for the treatment of osteoarthritis using stem cell biology.

Want to get Paid to go Fishing? Here's How
By Craig Lamb
When your weekend ends, the workweek begins. If you are tired of that cycle and want to get paid when launching the boat then maybe the life of a saltwater charter captain is for you.
Long hours, unpredictable pay due to weather and economics, and a lot of hard work. There is much more to making a career of taking others fishing. Sometimes the bad times outweigh the good. Finding rewards in sunrises and sunsets, watching others enjoy the thrill of the catch. Those some of the upsides of running your own charter business.
If you've given it lots of thought, or just want to know more about what's involved, then read on.
The biggest commitment, of course, is the time it takes to earn a living on the water. There are two paths the wannabe can follow. Those are specializing in inshore charters or taking trips offshore, more than three miles into the blue water.
To make it legal, you must hold a valid license issued by the U.S. Coast Guard. The entry level and most popular license for inshore guides is an OPUV, or Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessel. It is often called a "six pack" because it allows for up to six passengers per trip. Tour cruising, SCUBA diving, and charter fishing are covered under the OPUV. The licensee is limited to 100 miles offshore, and the boat must remain in U.S. waters.
You can study on your own or follow the easier path. That is taking an organized course taught in a classroom setting by qualified experts. Find what works best through a Google search for courses offered in your area. Expect to pay about $1,000 for a course. The cost typically includes drug screening, a physical and CPR/first aid training. The time it takes to complete the requirements varies, but most guides take about a year to attain the license.
Many states require a charter captain license in addition to the USCG issued license. Check your state fish and wildlife agency's regulations for more information.
Got the license? Now you need the boat. Tidewater Boats are a trusted name with saltwater captains and here are the reasons why. Relying on a dependable boat is a key reason.
Composite construction, foam filled hulls, cored decks, and gunwales plus much more quality design, materials and construction are extras that come with the price of a Tidewater.
By taking extra steps not found in most brands, Tidewater has the confidence in providing owners a 10-year, transferrable warranty that covers the hull.
Down time is costly Tidewater skippers don't face it. Customers also get treated to a smooth, dry ride in a boat rigged for serious fishing.
Combine the ride, handling and performance of a bay boat with a rig ideal for fishing in shallow water and you get the Tidewater 1910 Bay Max.
Shallow water draft and Tidewater's unique Carolina Flair hull design make the 1910 Bay Max a best of two worlds boat for coastal anglers.
The 1910 Bay Max has length overall of 19' 2" with a draft of about 10 inches. The boat is rated for a maximum 150 horsepower, although you can get optimum performance and fuel economy with 115 horses at the transom. A fuel capacity of 56 gallons makes long runs easy while setting a balance of weight for shallow water performance.
Most of all, the 1910 Bay Max provides the most value and affordability in a 19-foot Class bay boat. Dual casting decks, a wide range of live well options, hydraulic steering, and abundant gunwale rod storage are standard features.
A bay boat stacked with fishing features makes customizing the 1910 Bay Max a must to fit the needs of the coastal angler. Tidewater delivers with a long list of available options. Choose between three value packages starting with a compass and swim platform (Package 1). Add raw water wash down (Package 2) and dual batteries (Package 3) that combine the features of the other packages.
To those packages, you can customize the 1910 Bay Max even more with luxury features setting the boat apart from the rest. Bow casting chairs, Bimini Top, LED interior lighting packages, Garmin electronics and trolling motors are available.
Best of all, the accessories are installed by skilled technicians at the Tidewater factory in Lexington, S.C.
Tidewater stays close to it's saltwater roots with the manufacturing facility located in Lexington, S.C. Find out more about the complete lineup of models, find a Tidewater dealer at tidewaterboats.com. Visit the growing community of Tidewater owners on Facebook at Tidewater Boats LLC.

Mass. Lawmaker: Recoup Benefits From Terrorists
A Republican lawmaker is pushing for a law allowing Massachusetts to recoup public benefits given to anyone later convicted of using of a weapon of mass destruction.
Gloucester state Sen. Bruce Tarr is offering the proposal as an amendment to the Senate version of the state budget.
It would allow the attorney general to recover "any and all money" from anyone convicted of the terrorist act "who has previously collected public assistance, financial assistance or received any other direct financial benefit from the state."
The money would go to benefit any victims of the attack.
State officials have confirmed that Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his wife and toddler daughter received welfare benefits. Tsarnaev was killed in a police chase. His 19-year-old brother, Dzhohkar, was arrested.
The brothers also received welfare benefits as children through their parents.

White Papers and Application Notes
Modelling of Heat and Mass Transfer in Food Products
The use of the finite element method for understanding and analyzing the freezing and drying processes of food products is in focus in this paper. The objective of this study is to develop a model that can predict temperature distribution and weight loss of food products during the freezing and drying processes. The problem was solved by utilizing heat, mass transfer and moving mesh model. In order to predict the heat transfer, the thermo physical properties of food products are evaluated by a composition-based prediction method. The mass transfer problem in the unfrozen region is solved by the Fickian model and in the frozen region with the receding front model that assumes that the water movement becomes immobilized and that the moisture sublimates first from the surface then through the dried area in the food.

Holliday taking BP, working back from hamstring injury
ST. LOUIS -- Eight days after pulling his right hamstring while running out a ground ball, Matt Holliday remained out of the Cardinals' lineup due to continued hamstring discomfort.
Though Holliday has improved to the point where he's been able to take batting practice each of the past two days, the Cardinals left fielder said he still felt lingering tightness when trying to pass running tests on Friday afternoon. That meant that he would be watching his fourth straight game from the bench.
"I still feel a little bit in there," Holliday said. "We're going to see how [Saturday] goes and go from there."
Holliday responded with a "maybe" when asked if he expected to start during this weekend's series against San Diego, but he did leave open the possibility of being used as a pinch-hitter while he continued to heal. His availability off the bench on Friday was to be determined after Holliday received additional pregame treatment.
Though Holliday has now been out for more than a week, the Cardinals still want to try to avoid moving him to the disabled list. That's because a DL placement would necessitate that Holliday sit out, at minimum, seven more games.
"He was talking about being able to [run at] 80-90 percent," manager Mike Matheny said on Friday. "There is still a little more that we wanted to see, so another day should help. We want to make sure we don't go backwards."
