Growing up, the only part of Thanksgiving I participated in was peeling the green beans for my mom. Okay, it actually involved me peeling about ten beans, then getting bored and going outside to play while my mom finished the task. Cooking has changed for me over the past five years as my skills have developed and now I find myself assigning my mom the grunt work of peeling.
My family has always stuck to tradition; turkey, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and cornbread. I feel torn between sticking to our traditional menu and wanting to try new recipes. A suggestion of a quinoa, kale and walnut stuffed in a pumpkin was shot down. They did not want to try a salted caramel pecan pie. The family finally agreed to let me put rainbow carrots on the table this year instead of their orange counterparts.
Yes, Thanksgiving is just one meal out the year, but it is still a special meal, and with it comes with the old formalities that are lost in every day meals. Fine china, the dining room table, the presence of company.
Do you stick with tradition and cook the same recipes year after year? Or do you try to put a spin on the classics? What about venturing beyond the menu and adding something new?

We have our traditional foods (green bean casserole, dressing, apple cranberry cobbler, and sweet potato casserole) and then we also add in one or 2 new dishes every year. This year will mostly be different though since we are forgoing sweet potato casserole for sweet potato latkes and while we are still doing dressing, it will be challah dressing this year. My parents are also smoking a brisket to go with the turkey. I'll probably bring some random brussels sprouts dish and something else.
November 26th, 2013
2:52 pm
Personally there are some traditions that need to die.
I have never had a green bean casserole that I've eaten voluntarily. Same with Sweet Potato casserole. With or without marshmellows.
A slight tweak here or there does not have to break the family in half. If you want mushroom instead of chestnut stuffing, that doesn't have to be traumatic. Chopped cranberry relish along with the traditional jelly out of a can for choice.
I wouldn't walk out the kitchen to the table with a tofuturkey if everyone hasn't agreed to it but having a dish that a long departed great aunt loved and no one else eats doesn't make sense.
November 26th, 2013
3:30 pm
I'm hoping I can find a couple of prime filet mignons for my dinner on Thursday. Salad with buttermilk ranch dressing that's not from a bottle, twice baked potatoes, sauteed mushrooms and onion, some nice bread and wine and I'm set.

We have done a "themed" Thanksgiving the last few years in my family, which has been fun. Some of the cuisine's we've done have been Italian, Mexican, and this year is Cajun. So we still do the traditional tastes such as potatoes/stuffing/green beans, etc. but they each get a twist depending on the theme.
November 26th, 2013
4:21 pm
Kar….I can't agree w/ you on the green bean casserole. There are many out there that are great not just the one on the back on the Campbell Soup can. I am no booster of that one either. We are subing a carrot soufle' for the sweetpotato casserole this year and may never go back to the sweetpotato version. A tofuturkey, I would rather put a sharp stick in my eye!
November 26th, 2013
4:27 pm
FoodFan……the theme thing is cool. If we could get sweet corn at this time of the year, I would go with a 'low country' theme and have 'Frogmore Stew'.
November 27th, 2013
1:11 am
Balt, maybe there are good recipes out there but in general, I prefer recipes that enhance the green bean flavor rather than crowding it out. So the addition of a cream sauce and toppings detract more than add form.
November 27th, 2013
7:25 am
Kar…..I believe that is why they call it a casserole, they do have their place during the holidays. Having a topping or sauce never has to detract from the veggies if you pick the right casserole recipe. Using creamed soups were very popular but you don't see as much of them anymore.
November 27th, 2013
10:14 am
I'm making green beans, but making a mushroom cream sauce for Modernist Cuisine at Home, and a lemon-parsley pesto, so people can decide if they want a souped-up traditional version of something different.
November 27th, 2013
12:42 pm
RK……seems like you have struck the right balance to me.
November 27th, 2013
11:22 pm
Balt, that's the point.
If you have a recipe then share it but otherwise, I maintain that I have yet to taste a green bean recipe that enhances the green beans rather than drown them in salt and sauce.
November 28th, 2013
7:59 am
Kar, ok, If I find time I will do just that for you, but tomorrow!. Happy T'Giving!
November 29th, 2013
9:04 am
Kar……this may change your mind? Dug out of my recipe file. We had this dish 2 yrs ago @ Christmas.
2lbs-fresh green beans-trimmed
1 tbl-olive oil
6-garlic cloves-chopped
8-slices of french or italian bread, cubed & dried
4 tbl-butter-melted
1/2 cup-1/2′n1/2
1 tea-salt & pepper
1 small can-diced tomatoes-drained
saute garlic in oil, 2min, remove from pan. combine remaining and toss w/ boiled green beans. add back garlic. place in casserole dish and bake 19 min @ 400 degrees, uncovered.
Note: it is best to drop boiled green beans in a bowl of ice to stop the cooking process. This keeps the beans crisp.
November 29th, 2013
9:11 am
Kar….forgot, boil green bean 5 min.

A disbarred attorney contracted by Los Angeles County Metro Transportation Authority is charged with defrauding the county out of millions of dollars.
Criminal defense attorney James Reiss, who worked for Metro for 15 years as a contract lawyer defending the MTA in high profile cases, was charged with 11 felony counts of grand theft, forgery and fraud.
The attorney is charged with creating fraudulent documents designed to get Metro to cut him a check directly, rather than to a plaintiff who was awarded a multi-million dollar judgment.
"Anyone looking at the documents from the County would know (they) were bogus," said Jeffrey Pop, the attorney for the plaintiff. "The most elementary internal controls would have kept the County from losing money."

ClarkConnect Is Now ClearOS: Enterprise 5.1 Available
ClearOS, formerly known as the ClarkConnect distro, with firewall, content filter and fileserver, is now in version 5.1.
A new module in ClearOS should protect users from phishing attacks. Developers also upgraded the core system from CentOS 5.3 to 5.4 and replaced the apt package manager with yum. Samba 3.4.3 provides support for Windows 7. Details are in the project release notes.
Apart from the name change, a new feature named ClearSDN was introduced. The service currently in beta provides ClearOS users with free software updates, backups and DNS management. Upgrades for filters, antispam and antivirus programs, support and other services do require a paid subscription, however.
ClearOS 5.1 is available for free download of ISO images, source code and even a VMware image. Upgrades from ClarkConnect 4.x and later are also available.
ClarkConnect is Now ClearOS - Dec 24, 2009 ArticleI work for Open Invention Network "http://www.openinventionnetwork.com" a community of parties with a mission to protect and promote Linux. I'm having difficulty locating a contact email address and/or phone number for Peter Baldwin, Chief Technical Officer, for the Clear Foundation. Can you help??

The unemployment rate for foreign-born workers rose from 5.8 percent in 2008 to 9.7 percent in 2009. The rate also increased among the foreign born in each of the major race and ethnicity groups over that period.
For comparison, the jobless rate for native-born workers increased from 5.8 percent in 2008 to 9.2 percent in 2009. The unemployment rate of the foreign born was higher than that of the native born for the first time since 2003.
Among the major race and ethnicity groups, labor force participation rates of foreign-born whites (59.8 percent), blacks (72.4 percent), and Asians (67.7 percent) were down over the year. The rate for foreign-born Hispanics (70.8 percent) was little changed in 2009. Among the native born, labor force participation rates for all of the major race and ethnicity groups fell over the year.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. To learn more, see "Foreign-born Workers: Labor Force Characteristics—2009" (PDF) (HTML), news release USDL 10–0319.

(WMC-TV) – Close to 1 million members of an international church are putting their faith to work by participating in clean-up projects in Memphis and around the world.
The clean-ups are sponsored by the World Mission Society Church of God.
With garbage bags and lots of determination, volunteers from the Southaven congregation fanned out along the banks of the Mississippi River in downtown Memphis to collect trash.
The volunteers say the clean-up projects going on around the world are meant to honor the 96th anniversary of the birth of their church's founder.
"We would like to glorify the founder of our church, that's Christ Ahn Sahng-hong, because of his coming we decided that this is the 96th anniversary of his coming from the time that he came and we thought that we could glorify him by coming down here and cleaning up the Mississippi River," said church member Andre Purkett.
The World Mission Society Church of God started in South Korea in 1964. Since then, it has grown to more than 2 million members and 2,200 churches worldwide.
In addition to the clean up, the volunteers are hoping to reach out to others and encourage them to do things to protect the environment, rather than harm it with litter and debris.
"We want to show God's love by keeping the world clean," said Tiara Whitehorn.
Church members say they sponsor clean up projects several times each year and their work in the community has been recognized by everyone from Memphis Mayor A C Wharton to President Barack Obama.

As the air transport industry's heavy hitters gathered in Doha for IATA's June 1-3 annual general meeting (AGM), thoughts turned to heavy iron—namely, prospective widebody developments that stand to upset the competitive status quo as early as the Farnborough Air Show in July.

Many of us in aviation in the U.S. haven't been paying much attention to our neighbor to the north. Canadians are known for being somewhat quiet and unassuming. Sometimes it's easy to forget that quiet and unassuming doesn't mean they're not busily working on practical solutions to important issues. In fact, there's a lot going on in Canada that we in the U.S. could learn from in the aviation arena.
When it comes to song topics, love is number one, but travel may be a close second. In a gazillion tunes, it seems, someone is hopping on or off a train, boat or plane.
As I write, the whereabouts of the missing Boeing 777 operating as Malaysia Air Flight 370 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing remains unknown. The Prime Minister of Malaysia has announced that analysis of satellite data suggests the airplane crashed in the south Indian Ocean but no debris linked to the aircraft has been found.
Spending a week in China at the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition is a refreshing reminder that as much as countries like China want to put general aviation to work, the actual implementation is going to be nothing like what aviation-minded westerners are used to. It seems we have a naive desire to see general aviation in China replicate the landscape of non-commercial aviation in the U.S., Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
As I write this from my seat on a Boeing 777 bound for China, I realize I no longer have the same degree of nonchalance I had on previous long-haul flights. I am aware the airplane, one of the most modern jetliners in the sky, is functioning exactly as intended, the comforting whoosh of its powerful engines omnipresent as it courses smoothly through the air above the Arctic Circle, yet in the back of my mind, thoughts drift to another triple-seven, also China-bound, which more than a month after its disappearance still has given investigators little clue as to where it actually ended up and why.
The incidence of lasers being pointed at aircraft is rising at an alarming rate, jumping by more than 1,000 percent since the FAA started tracking data in 2005. Last year, according to FAA data, so-called "lasing" incidents averaged 11 per day. With this proliferation comes greater potential for an aircraft accident, with injury and loss of life both to aircraft occupants and to people on the ground.
"Within the next decade we'll be flying people to Australia from New York in about two hours, developing spaceships that will cross continents outside the Earth's atmosphere and then pop them back into the atmosphere. Then we'll move on to much bigger commercial jets [traveling] at many times the speed of sound."
We owe the FAA a debt of gratitude for the most excellent job the agency has done to provide data to aid our flying. It is amazing that for a relatively small cost pilots have access to a wealth of navigation information. Much of it—VFR charting especially—is gorgeous, pretty enough to hang on a wall or use as wrapping paper after the expiration date.
The annual Helicopter Association International Heli-Expo show is one of the most enjoyable shows that I attend each year. It's not because the show is all about helicopters, but more about the unique nature of those who have dedicated their lives to the whirlybird industry. Helicopter people are not only intensely committed to all things rotary-winged but at the same time they're a fun-loving bunch, and this is such a small segment of the aviation industry that there are few degrees of separation between all of the participants.

Most of y'all have picked these up by now, but DJ Jazzy Jeff and Mick Boogie's two 'Summertime' mixtapes have had me bobbin my head at my computer for the past week.
The 90's vibe (everyone's favorite decade for music) has been the perfect change of pace for me when I get tired of writing code with turntable.fm's dubstepilicious 'Coding Soundtrack' room in the background.
My literary heroes came to life the way I always imagined they would be like. I'm in love with Marion Coltillard's onscreen characters more than ever. And for the first time ever, there's an Owen Wilson character who I actually like and can identify with.
Most notably for me, I'm nostalgic for a trip to Paris that I took just less than a year ago. It was like Woody Allen went on my facebook, went to my Paris album, and decided to use it as inspiration for all of the shots in the film.
Not sure there's a flavor combination that would taste better.

Amy Poehler was one of the featured speakers at Harvard's Commencement Ceremony yesterday and gave great advice to the Class of 2011 that included being nicer to your parents, putting down your iPhone once in a while and being open and willing to work with others. She also made jokes.
I have a huge crush on her, Tina Fey and Kristen Wiig, probably because I watch too much TV. Or maybe I just like attractive women who make me laugh.
Nope, must be all the TV I watch.
Sometimes people will say, "Music isn't as good as it used to be back in the day." And usually my first instinct is to knock them off their fucking high horse with my Lady Gaga CD.
But today, I'm going to agree with those folks.
We use a lot of words to describe something culturally or artistically and sometimes the word itself is impossible to describe using other words. Some of my favorites are umami, je nas se quois and soul.
In the middle of a 40-minute set at the Harlem Square Club in 1963, Sam Cooke did what words often fail to do and defined soul.

Editor's Note-It's no secret that GM has been on the outer fringes of the import drag racing radar for a couple years now. At the 2001 SEMA Show, GM made its intentions even more clear. The engine featured here was developed for the orange flamed Cavalier slated to compete in the Outlaw/Modified Class in 2002. It is rumored that Stephani Reeves, who has experience running in the NHRA Pro Bike category will be at the controls. -EG
GenesisAt some point General Motors became aware that there is a thing going on called "Import Performance," which has positively shaken the entire performance aftermarket. GM, for obvious reasons, likes to call this phenomenon "FWD Performance." Eventually, someone at GM realized the company had a new engine called the Ecotec that-with a few "cheap" tricks-had the potential to beguile a few folks currently exclusively in love with certain popular Japanese and European Import Performers. GM scraped together a little money and threw it at a small team of experienced racers and engine builders at a skunkworks in Southern California with the goal of ascertaining what a 2.2-liter Ecotec could do if you whipped it good.
"The request was for 800 hp in four months in an engine that would live for 20-40 drag runs," says Stephen Bothwell, who came in from the cold to lead GM's Ecotec Drag Engine Project after 2.5 years on the road racing GM's Vortec 4200 in-line six in rally trucks plying the roads and non-roads of places like Baja, Mexico. "The attitude early on in some quarters," says Bothwell, "was people laughed at the idea of a 700 hp Ecotec. But that was then."
Bothwell began by scoping out what sort of power and torque would be required to get people's attention in the "FWD Performance" world, and followed up on that with a crash program to push the envelope of an Ecotec. Hard.
The GM Racing team set about to find the limits of an Ecotec the old fashioned way-by progressively blowing more nitrous through it on an engine dyno until something broke. Then repairing the engine with stronger parts (sending any damaged parts to a lab for forensic analysis), and pushing on until the next weakest link died and went to Hell. And so on.
Quest for Failure: NitrousWith this in mind, GM Racing bolted a factory-stock Ecotec to an engine dyno and wired up a DFI/Accel programmable engine management system to control it via a data link connected to a laptop computer with Windows-based graphical user interface.
The team then constructed a custom three-stage nitrous system designed to spray a cold fog of nitrous into the Ecotec at a single point near the throttle body, delivering additional fuel to match the oxygen-enriched air via increased pulsewidth from the stock electronic fuel injectors.
GM Racing began the tuning process on a Heinen-Freud water-brake dyno using the stock intake and exhaust manifolds and a modified stock down-pipe plumbed without muffler or cat directly into the dyno cell's exhaust removal system. It turns out a well-tuned stock 10:1 2.2-liter Ecotec in the above configuration actually develops 168 crankshaft hp (which is above the factory rating of 140-150 as installed in various vehicles in the United States and Europe).

The ads are on the airwaves, and the yard signs are mostly in yards, both of which are expected, which leaves the candidates trying to come up with unexpected ways to reach your eyeballs.
"We want to reach people where they are," said Kathy Taylor.
And if you've been on YouTube lately, her ad has probably popped up on whatever video you were watching.
"It's not expensive, it's very efficient, and gets a segment of the population that gets most of their information from a computer," she said.
Meanwhile, if you've headed downtown to take in a Driller's game recently...
"You know, you look up there and this is actually from some of our young professionals that wanted to go up and really," said Bartlett campaign manager Dan Patten.
Really grab attention in a different way, although the Bartlett campaign also adheres to the fundamentals.
"The old tried and true methods are still, you know, knocking doors and making phone calls, those are still the most proven methods in politics," he said.
One of the not so proven methods of campaigning, although certainly attention grabbing, is the strategy of Bill Christiansen supporter Paul Tay.
"It's not going to hurt him, more than anything else, it's going to help him," said Tay.
And that's kind of up for debate cause Christiansen told Paul in a phone call today that...
"He's getting angry calls from motorists thinking that I'm blocking traffic," said Tay.
And road rage isn't exactly the association you want made with your campaign sign; not that he's been told to stop.
"He didn't ask me to stop, he said, just say that I'm not part of the campaign," laughed Tay.
Meanwhile, back on YouTube, Kathy Taylor is even popping up over Dewey Bartlett. Some might call that rude. Some might call that shrewd.
"I have appeared on the city hall web site I know that. Someone sent me a screen shot of it," smiled Taylor.

As the North Shore of Oahu readies for the Triple Crown of Surfing season, Reef announces that Kaipo Jaquias, Brad Gerlach, and Michael Ho will be competing with defending champ, Sunny Garcia in the Reef Clash of the Legends at the Reef Hawaiian Pro at Haleiwa, Nov 12-23.
The Reef Clash of the Legends is a specialty event that runs in conjunction with the Reef Hawaiian Pro, the first jewel of the Van's Triple Crown. This year, Reef let the fans decide which legendary surfers would compete in these historic heats. After the first round of voting that ran until October 14, the field was narrowed to Gerlach, Jaquias, Ho, Mark Occhilupo (AUS) Matt Archbold (CA), and Tom Curren (CA.)
"We are proud to announce the public's voice in who will join Sunny in this prestigious event," said Reef's Global Ambassador and Events Manager, Shea Perkins, "Glorifying who paved the way for the surfing world's elite is such an honor for Reef."
Jaquias, 42, is a regularfoot from Kauai who surfed the ASP World Tour for ten years, winning the Hawaiian Triple Crown in 1996. He has recently rediscovered his competitive drive, helping the Hawaiians win two Gold Medals in a row at the ISA World Masters.
Gerlach, 48, a native of Encinitas, has had one of surfing's most interesting careers. He joined the ASP World Tour and after several years of competing, finished second in the world in 1991. He later came back into surfing's spotlight by towing into huge waves like Cortes Bank off the West Coast and developed the National Surf League.
Micheal Ho, 56, is one of the first names in the history books when it comes to Backdoor and Pipeline. He is a two-time winner of the Triple Crown and famously won the Pipe Masters in 1982 with a broken wrist. His two children, Mason and Coco are both professional surfers.
Because of his current status as Clash of the Legends champ, Sunny Garcia, 43 was granted an automatic entry into the 2013 event. Raised on Oahu's West Side, Garcia came on the scene in 1986 with a win over Tom Carroll at the Gotcha Pro at Sandy Beach. Garcia won six Triple Crown titles and the ASP World Title in 2000. He continues to be a force each Hawaiian season at 43 years old.
Reef's Hawaiian Clash of the Legends began in 2010 when Sunny Garcia bested Curren, Occhilupo and Tom Carroll for the win. In 2011, Ross Williams won the Clash of the Legends Momentum Generation Edition over Reef's style guru Rob Machado and big wave pioneer Shane Dorian, as well as Kalani Robb. Garcia once again claimed the Clash in 2012 against 80s counterparts Curren, Occhilupo and Jaquias.

Review: Mighty Avengers #6 (Ewing)
Posted by: Byron Brewer, Contributing Editor
02/06/2014 - 12:34am | Updated: 32 weeks 1 day Ago
02/06/2014 - 12:34am | Updated: 32 weeks 1 day Ago
Writer:Al Ewing,
Art:Valerio Schiti,
Colors:Frank D' Armata,
Letterer:VC's Cory Petit,
Cover:Greg Land and Frank D'Armata,
Publisher:Marvel Comics
Release Date:February 5, 2014
It's the Roy Thomas issue, wherein the Mighty Avengers settle down, decide exactly who and what this team is and will be and, if we are good readers, the writer (in this case, Al Ewing) will let us in on some secrets on the personal side of these heroes.
All that and more occurs in this very traditional issue of Mighty Avengers, and it is both fun and informative, not usually two adjectives you see together for a comic. Ewing has us by the hooks from the very beginning with the wonderfully funny yet soulful discussion between Jessica and the Blue Marvel involving his worldwide responsibilities as a superhero, the things missing in his life (wife, absentee daughter, eating, sleeping … you get the drift) and how you can raise kids on Marvel-Earth.
From there, we explore an interesting framing sequence which eventually involves the Falcon
Danny Rand, the Immortal White Fist, provides some of the comedy this issue along with namesake Danielle. And it's nice that Ewing picks up on the events of Avengers Arena through White Tiger; using history only makes a story stronger, new readers or not. That is my opinion and I am sticking with it.
As de facto leader, it was nice to see Monica (along with Jen) helping Power Man 2.0 train. The secret? As I said above: knowing your history.
The coup de grace is when the packing (Luke and Jessica have a new Brooklyn apartment) is done, the beers come out and we find out some possibly familial secrets about Luke and Adam Brashear. Cannot wait to see how this goes and if it ties into a wonderful New Avengers piece Brian Bendis once wrote as Cage visited his estranged papa.
And best of all? No Superior Spidey to be found! And this was NOT part of ANY "event."
Best issue yet of a young, promising series!

Your Grocery Store Strategy for Losing Weight
So you're trying to watch what you eat and lose weight. How do you resist temptation when you're in a grocery store surrounded by all kinds of food and food-like products, and all kinds of marketing efforts to get you to buy the food?
Remember Your Five P's
It's a little saying used in the military that applies to most things in life. What are the Five P's, you ask? Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance. It means that if you take the time to plan your action, you'll figure out the problems ahead of time and avoid mistakes.
This little nugget of wisdom is especially helpful when it comes to grocery shopping. Sitting down and planning out your weekly menu, then writing down precisely what items you'll need prevents impulsive buying and a cart full of junk food. The Five P's is the antidote for a multitude of food shopping don'ts, including these:
Don't … Go to the Grocery Store Hungry
A hungry person in a grocery store is like a fox in a henhouse or a thief in a bank vault. The temptation of all that food is too overwhelming. Your decision making will be influenced by your desire to eat, and the chance of making poor choices is high. (This is a smart tactic for those on a budget too.)
Don't … Decide What's for Dinner as You Shop
While plenty of men cook, the fact is that in most households, it's the woman who decides the answer to that age-old question, "What's for dinner?" If that means you, forget the idea that you'll be inspired to cook something new by browsing around the grocery store. That store is a business with one purpose: to get you to buy more stuff. So they're going to promote items that they need to get rid of—overstocked items, food that's about to expire, or goodies that food companies pay them to promote to gain more customers.
Food companies and grocery stores couldn't care less about your health or weight goals, so don't buy what they're promoting that day. Buy what you already planned to eat before you entered the store.
Don't … Stroll Up and Down the Aisles to See What's New
We're busy chicks, so the idea of walking around a store just to see what's new sounds like an extraordinary waste of time. To us, grocery shopping is simply another chore on the list. But we know plenty of gals who thoroughly enjoy browsing any store and being the first to try to the latest products featured on the end of the aisle. If this sounds like you, try to channel your shopping energy toward workout clothes, running shoes, or anything other than food. Sampling newly produced food items isn't good for your waistline because no company has ever invented a new kind of fruit or vegetable, which is what we should all be eating. In fact, if the food we're eating actually has to be invented and created at a factory, it probably doesn't belong in our shopping carts.
Don't … Buying Something Because It's on Sale
Should you buy that macaroni and cheese "dinner in a box" because it was a two-for-one deal this week? No way! Instead of saving two dollars, you actually spent two dollars to create twice as many fat cells.
Have you ever noticed that healthy foods like vegetables, lean chicken, and fresh fish rarely go on sale? Ever received a coupon for asparagus or tilapia? Nope. But sugary breakfast cereals, sodas, and tortilla chips are always on sale. That's because junky, processed foods are so cheaply made that manufacturers can afford to give them away to get new customers hooked on them. Only buy fake foods (processed foods) that are on sale if you're willing to work off your "savings" in sweat.
Now that you know what supermarket pitfalls to avoid, let's see how to use the Five P's to shop with a purpose, and other shopping do's, including these:
Do … Plan Your Menu
Take the time to sit down and write out what you'll eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the next five days. This will ensure that you buy only the healthy foods you'll need and will prevent you from having unhealthy food in the house to snack on during weak moments.
A menu will also solve the what's-for-dinner problem. Every day you'll know precisely what's for dinner because you've written it down and have the ingredients in the house. Menu planning also helps you stick to your 500-calorie dinners. You've already got the recipe and the ingredients, so you'll be sure to make it. It also prevents last-second trips to fast-food restaurants that are usually motivated by empty refrigerators and lack of planning. Remember the shopping mantra: Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.

I called in mid November to ask a question about my internet billing. Of course, the rep had to tell me about Verizon Fios, and wouldn't I like to switch over to this great service for a great price... yada, yada, yada. I listened to the pitch (making sure to write down everything she said) and since the price WAS good, I decided to place an order.
I asked this rep several times, "Now, I don't want any suprises when I get my bill. You're telling me that for all of these services, this will be the price I will pay?"
"Oh, yes ma'am. The prices I have quoted you include taxes so you will most certainly know what you'll be paying every month. The prices are good for 2 years, there's no installation charge, there's no deposit, and there's no contract."
Well, she got 4 out of 5 right.
When I got my first bill, it was $80 higher than the price I was quoted. I did bear in mind that this was my first bill and that I was probably paying for pro-rated services for December as well as January charges. But still, I thought it was probably a good idea to call and get a true understanding of what I'd been charged and confirm that after the initial bill, I would be paying the price I was told when I ordered the services.
Let me say that the rep I spoke with on 01/25/2011 was extremely sympathetic and did his best to try and rectify the situation. But I was also told that the price I was given for the services I ordered was not correct. He said that my monthly bill for the first 12 months would be approximately $33 more than I was told, and I could add a charge for the DVR to that for the second 12 (since it would no longer be free, which I already knew).
Needless to say, I was not happy. I am EXTREMELY UPSET that Verizon reps are lying, deceiving, and just perpetrating outright fraud to sell services. It's not right. I didn't call Verizon to order anything, I called to ask a question about a bill for an existing service. I was courteous enough to listen to the sales pitch, and since it sounded like a good deal I placed an order, TRUSTING that the information I was given was correct. Big mistake.
I expressed my frustration to the rep I spoke to on 01/25/2011 and he was able to apply a discount for 12 months which will bring me closer to the price I was told when I ordered the services. I pointed out that the price I was given was good for 24 months. He said that the system wouldn't allow him to apply the discount for more than 12 months. So basically, it looks like I will be stuck paying $33 more than the price I was originally told for the second 12 months (in addition to paying for the DVR if I decide to keep it, which I probably won't).
I think this confusion and frustration could be avoided if you put offers in writing. All I have are prices that I wrote down from the conversation I had with the rep when I placed the order. I'm sure Verizon has some record of the conversation I had with that rep, but I have no access to them to prove what I was told. If Verizon would send out letters (either by email or regular mail) verifying the services that have been ordered and for the prices that have been quoted, I think you'd have a much higher level of customer satisfaction with regard to billing issues.
Completely agree with this customer. My experience has been very similar.
When I signed up for service, the rep said "I will do better than the internet Triple Play price of $89.99 plus free DVR for 12 months. I will give it to you for $85, PLUS give you a free DVR for 12 months, PLUS 6 months of international channels free".
It seemed incredible. But that apparently was just a sales gimmick. Later I found that it is either the free DVR, or the 6 free months. I threaten to cancel even before installation, and am given a "customer appreciation credit" for 12 months.
When I receive my first bill, I find that the Triple Play price is actually $95, not $85 -- that is even higher than the internet price! No amount of calling Verizon helps.
Now I am locked in a two year contract. There is no way to trace any of the previous reps I spoke with.
@ Joe_Ambeault - The letter I got after I placed the order says that the DVR will be free for 12 months, and there'll be a $20 per month credit for $24 months. Does it list the specific price breakdown the Verizon rep went to great lengths to repeat to assure me that I would be paying the price she gave me? No, it does not. So no, detailed offers in writing DO NOT EXIST, thank you very much.
Agree with keedinah. Thepaper letter I received listed the order items, but not their prices.
So this does not exist - please modify the idea 'status'.
I am having the same problem. i signed up for what an Agent told me would be my charges and after the first bill i also thought it probably would be higher then the second bill was just as high. i talk to many agents that said, they can not give me the same discount as its not in their records. well thats calling me a liar isnt it?
and no i never received an email from verizon about any of my calls and charges offered.
i want a follow up letter of my conversations with the agents.
they say i have to stick to the "contract" or i would be charged. well they are the ones not sticking to the contract.
FIRST I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW SLOW THIS WEB PAGE IS! SECOND -I THINK YOU NEED AND AGAIN NEED TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF CUSTOMER VERIFICATION OF ANY CHANGES TO ANY CONTRACTS CLAIMED TO BE MADE OVER THE PHONE! I for one will not be a Verizon customer for very much longer because an operator made a claim that i can not prove to be not true!she extended a nonexisting contract for two years and i have no way of proving her wrong! i for oine will only agree to a contract in writting and all others are nonbinding to me!will not be long before it's BY BY !

Advisory Circular AC 20-107B, pertaining to composite aircraft structure, will provide updated acceptable means for showing compliance with FAR requirements governing the airworthiness type certification of composite aircraft structures using fiber-reinforced materials. It supersedes AC 20-107A, dated April 25, 1984.
AINmxReports » June 24, 2009
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued Preliminary Regulatory Impact Assessment for replacement parts. It reviews existing EASA Part 21 regulations pertaining to replacement parts and compares them with current FAA Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) regulations.
GE Aviation has signed an exclusive agreement with Aviall Services that expands the latter's distribution of GE CF34-3 engine parts to include unique life-limited parts (LLPs).
Last year Jerry Roy Comeaux and his wife, Vicki, were indicted for "conspiracy to commit fraud, fraud involving aircraft parts, mail fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and money laundering," according to the U.S. District Court of South Carolina. On Monday, Comeaux pleaded no contest to the felony charges and was sentenced to three years' probation and payment of more than $400,000 to victims.
Unintended consequences of a proposed rewrite of FAR 21 certification procedures for products and parts will place an undue burden on repair shops and small businesses, according to Jason Dickstein, president of Washington Aviation Group. "The devil's in the details," he told AIN.

DEHESA (CBS 8) - A man turns himself in to sheriff's investigators and admits to shooting his ex-girlfriend and killing her boyfriend.
Investigators say the shooter fired two shots, hitting his ex-girlfriend in the arm and fatally striking her boyfriend.
It happened around 6:30 a.m. at a home on 1525 South Wilson Road in Dehesa.
People who live near this property in the unincorporated area of El Cajon have seen sheriff's deputies here before, saying it's known for loud parties and fights.
"Loud music and then a sheriff car would show up... It would be some sort of verbal altercation, and a sheriff car would show up," one neighbor said.
One man, who goes by the name Warren, has lived up the street for four years.
He and others awoke to the sound of sirens early Sunday morning following a shooting that killed 35-year-old Eufracio Alberto Enriquez and left his girlfriend, 39-year-old Leila Farmer, with a gunshot wound to the arm.
The suspect has been identified as Farmer's ex-boyfriend, 50-year-old Abel Martinez.
"Mr. Enriquez and Ms. Farmer were in bed asleep. They woke up to find Martinez, and some words were exchanged. He produced a handgun...first shot Mr. Enriquez and then shot Ms. Farmer," sheriff's Lt. Glenn Giannantonio said.
Farmer reportedly called 911, as family members, who live in another house on the property intervened.
"When the deputies arrived, family members were conducting CPR on Mr. Enriquez. The deputies took over CPR until they were relieved by paramedics," Lt. Giannantonio said.
Enriquez died at the scene.
Several hours later, Martinez was dropped off at an Alpine substation by an unknown person, where he turned himself in.
"We do know there was a relationship between himself and Ms. Farmer...we're not sure if it's related to what the motive would be," Lt. Giannantonio said.
Family members stood by as investigators collected evidence.
They did not want to comment on the shooting, which marks the third homicide in the El Cajon/Alpine area in less than two weeks.
"We have been very busy, especially in this general area, which is unusual for this area," Lt. Giannantonio said.
Martinez faces charges of murder and attempted murder. No word yet on when he will be arraigned.

Happy Holidays from room 209!
I danced my ass off at the Highland Brewing Company to a live band, smoked good bud before hitting Rosettas, wandered downtown, walked through a sketchy alley way.
I've met the coolest of people{and some of the not so coolest}
but the good far outweigh the bad here.
this city has swallowed me whole
rolled me around on its tongue
and i covered me with its shimmering saliva— because everyone in aville sparkles, y'alland i marvel at the inside of its beautiful mouth
there is power in these mountainsand good mojo in the air
we just need better water.
Happy Halloween from Founders 209!
Books for Eco-Feminsm are in! Am excited. {: (Taken with Instagram)
after sitting in a dripping wet and muggy forestthe world seems okay.my decisions seem rightand all my hopes are in bloom.
ready for the red leaves of Ashevilleready for tea in downtownfor jeans and scarvesfor the smell of old books and heavy spicefor educationfor a new life.
ready to live in a dorm with Ashleyready to get away from everything.I have a new family, but I'm getting too attached too quickly.I'm ready to live "on my own" for a while.
I'm questioning everything I've decided to do.Questioning teaching over sustainable agriculture or even medical science. Questioning UNCA over Massachusetts, over Louisiana, over Warren Wilson. Maybe I'm just thinking too hard about things, but…I don't know.I wish I could talk this out with someone, but every time I bring it up I get shut down. dabfqfkjbvkjvhqfioifeknfsnjfejfweihfehfweh
too much free time.
Gathering with so many strangers was not as frightening as I had thought. Usually, I walk away from mass sessions drained and shaken, but I actually found myself finding an ounce of comradery with these new ladies and gents. It's ironic, really that I have met more people in one day who appreciated my slant on the world than in my entire elementarymiddlehigh school career.
For a while I had this build up of dread in my stomach as I made half of these friends when discussing drugs. Those who've been following me for a while know that I was an addict for a while. Being around all these stories, reliving my own, felt too comfortable, like I was slipping back into a hole. After a night of restless sleep (restless is an understatement) I found myself more content with myself and with my past. I was able to reflect on the self I never want to be again.
All in all, I met many an interesting peer and registered for a nice, balanced schedule. At first, I had hopped to bury myself in classes so I wouldn't have the opportunity to be around drugs again, but I realized I have control over myself— I'm past that phase of dependence in my life. The more I accept the past self, the stronger the present self becomes.
for the past few days as my graduation is looming. every day "the end" keeps inching closer and closer, and all I can think of is how much things have changed. how much my peers have changed. how much I have changed.
the chords for our cap-and-gowns were given out Friday and I really didn't feel anything. I went to a movie tonight, though, and I saw one of my friends from…well…until this year (she stopped speaking to me after she got a few hours of volunteer work from me) and she didn't even look at me. I've come to realize that there are so many people in this world that the ones who don't want you, who don't treat you as well as you treat them, who don't love you for what you are, aren't worth your fucking time.
I haven't been excited for UNCA lately— the idea of growing up frightens me beyond belief— but having the knowledge that I finally have a fresh start, the ability to re-build a circle of friends who are amazing, beautiful beings takes the edge off fear. even if it's just a tiny edge of a really big cliff of fear.
and my life has been changed. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
I fully plan to be in the production next year. {:
Also, Pork Belly is the best thing in the world.
OHOH and I
1) Danced in a crowded Chocolate Lounge to an amazing Jazz/Swing Band
2) Told an adorable waiter with hippie-moon-child eyes and killer cheek bones that he was attractive.

RAPIDES PARISH, La. (KALB News Channel 5) - On April 9, 2014, detectives assigned to the Rapides Parish
Sheriff's Office Metro Division seized one-quarter pound of Methamphetamine, closing a
three week investigation into Methamphetamine distribution.
established leads weeks ago that a subject identified as Gene Richard, 34, of Natchitoches, regularly
transported several ounces of Methamphetamine into Rapides Parish, according to RPSO.
April 9, 2014, Richard traveled south on I-49 into Rapides Parish under surveillance.
Detectives contacted him at a local business near I-49 and Airbase Road.
RPSO said Richard consented to a search of his vehicle where one-quarter pound of Methamphetamine
was located.
Richard was taken into custody without incident and booked
into the Rapides Parish Detention Center for one count Possession of CDS II to Distribute. He was later released on
$10,000 bond.
Methamphetamine is routinely sold for $100-$120 per gram to
end users, but can be purchased by the ounce for between $1200-1600 making a
street resale value of this seizure over $13,000.00.
Detectives said they have identified
potential buyers from Richard and the investigation is still on-going.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Justice Department has closed an investigation into the head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development under former President George W. Bush without bringing charges, his lawyers said on Monday.
Alphonso Jackson was investigated after he made remarks in early 2006 that suggested he had canceled a government contract with a businessman who had criticized Bush.
The Cabinet-level secretary later said he had lied about the cancellation but it prompted an investigation by the HUD inspector general. The probe found no evidence that Jackson actually took such action.
Federal law prohibits considering political affiliation when awarding contracts. Senate Democrats had sought Jackson's ouster amid allegations about the Bush administration directing contracts to political allies.
The senators had said Jackson refused to answer their questions regarding his activities in the awarding of three separate contracts and his involvement in a case of alleged retaliation against the Philadelphia Housing Authority.
The closure of the Justice Department probe without any charges showed that the allegations were without support, his lawyers said in a statement.
Jackson resigned in April 2008.

Authorities in Arenac County say a two-vehicle crash occurred in Standish Township around 8 p.m. on Sunday evening.
The crash happened on Arenac State Road, at the intersection of Sagatoo Road. Sheriff's deputies said a Dodge Intrepid was traveling eastbound on Sagatoo Road when it failed to stop at the signed intersection, causing a collision with a Ford full size van traveling north on State Road.
The force of the impact caused both vehicles to overturn. Deputies said one person was declared dead at the scene.
Flight care was called in to transport three other occupants of one of the vehicles to Saginaw's Saint Mary's Hospital where they are currently listed in serious condition.
Authorities said the crash remains under investigation and alcohol is believe to be a factor. No further details about those involved in the incident have been released pending family notifications.
