Cellar/Tasting Notes "Though rich and creamy, this wine is focused by finely cut acidity, resulting in a lithe version overall. The smoky mineral undertow mixes with flavors of poached apple, toasted brioche, lemon curd and vanilla, followed by a lasting finish."

人有悲歡離合, People experience grief and joy, separations and togetherness,
月有陰晴圓缺, the Moon waxes and wanes, and sometimes appears clear or cloudy
此事古難全。 it has never been an ideal picture all along.
但願人長久, I hope that we are long-lived
千里共嬋娟。 so that we can share the beauty of the moon despite being miles apart.
Gazing at the moon often reminds me of the sentiments embedded in these graceful lyrics.
Some of you may have long been familiar with the above excerpt written by Su Shi (蘇軾, 1037-1101), who was a great poet from the Song-Dynasty China (宋代中國). Su's beautiful words had me fallen in love with lyric Chinese poetry (詞) during my high-school years. And, I've always associated these lyrics of his with romance and Mid-Autumn Festival.
Turning Back the Clock
Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋節) falls on the 15th day of the eighth month (八月十五) in the Chinese calendar (農曆). It is when the moon greets the world in its fullest, roundest and brightest. We celebrated last year's on Oct 03. And this year, we mark the end of the summer harvesting season on Sept 22, which would be today. For many Chinese around the world, this day is about reuniting with loved ones, enjoying good foods, and soaking up the festivities.
Our clan, including extended family members, used to have an alfresco gathering on this special evening. We'd spend a few hours catching up with each other, sampling mooncakes (月餅), sipping on Chinese tea, as well as snacking on toasted melon seeds (瓜子) and peanuts, water caltrops (菱角) and pomelos ("綠柚" in spoken Cantonese; "柚子" in Mandarin). Sometimes, for the fun of it, we'd place pomelo rinds over children's heads. The elderly in my family believe that such an act brings good luck.
|Pomelos: our stock for this year's ...
Another Happy Coincidence
This year, coincidentally, my American sister's birthday falls on this festive season. Miss Keren Ruth, happy birthday! Thank you so, so much for inspiring me through and through, especially during my 32 months in Minnesota! I miss your company!
Now, no mooncake, no birthday treat from me. (Sorry, Keren!) I bake by moods and only as needed. Getting bogged down by work and my family's ongoing relocation "project," I've found neither the mood nor the need to fix mooncakes. So, the timing seems nice for me to clear some of my backlogs accumulated from mid-2009. Yay!
Reminiscing Flakiness
I first attempted making Chinese flaky pastries in July 2008. It was a little tricky initially. But once you've gotten a hang of it, getting the laminated dough right shouldn't be an issue – even in the hot and humid weather of Malaysia!
|Ugly-looking Taiwanese sun pastry (太陽餅): my maiden attempt at making Chinese flaky pastries back in July 2008
I liken laminating the doughs for Chinese flaky pastries to laminating the doughs for French pâte feuilletée and croissants, and Danish. There are a few differences, however, and one being when handling the doughs for Chinese flaky pastries, you're much less likely to end up with a pile of uber greasy, sticky and doughy mess! (Pei-Lin still has no luck with laminating doughs the French way. It's all the butter's fault!)
|Much better looking: second attempt at Taiwanese sun pastry (dated February 2009)
The Lard in the Larder Long Gone
Traditionally, the fat used for Chinese flaky pastries is lard. When I was in the States, I had the opportunity to experiment with and use lard for that very purpose, and sometimes, for my pâte brisée as well. When used appropriately and adequately, pastries made with lard kill all other pastries made with shortening and/or margarine. To be more specific, I'm referring to pie crusts and Chinese flaky pastries made primarily with shortening! I've seen and tasted shortening-laden ones. Yuck!
|My home-made Tambun biscuits (淡汶餅), another Chinese flaky pastry of Malaysian-Chinese origin. Want to know why my mung bean-paste filling is dark? Read on here.
When I was in the States, it's easy to purchase 2 kilograms (64 ounces) of – or more, lard off the supermarket shelf. Just like shortening, there, lard is sold in sticks and buckets, depending on how much you need to buy. As much as I hate to say, I did scrutinize the label on the bucket: The lard is partially hydrogenated. Lesson to remember: Moderation is still the key to everything in life.
|This is what I used. (Image courtesy of TEXMEX FOODS)
Well before returning home for good, I already knew that the lard available back in Malaysia just isn't the same as what I could get in the States. Is it because the lard here isn't hydrogenated at all? So, it's less fun to work with? *Shrug* I'm in the midst of settling down on a solution to the problem … Oh, well!
A Not-So-Happy Experience
Back in August 2009, just a week before I returned home from the States, I made Chinese flaky pastries to use up my home-made azuki bean paste at my family friends'. These chrysanthemum pastries (菊花酥), I think, would make a festive treat this Mid-Autumn Festival. Come to think of it, I've not made any Chinese flaky pastries since a year ago!
Reflecting upon this particular "project," I still perceive the result as an unsatisfactory one. I was angry at myself for the fact that in search of perfection, during the shaping process, I cut the bean paste-filled laminated dough a little too deep, that the baked pastries wound up almost too fragile to be handled! I was struggling to twist the dough without having it falling apart, too. And since I didn't want to buy red maraschino cherries just for decoration, I opted to use red food gel instead. I was overly generous with the food gel, too! And so, my ugly pastries …
You may also be wondering, "The azuki bean-paste filling looks grainy!" Yup. Thanks to the lazy bone in me! After pressing 600 grams of azuki beans through a sieve, I told myself, "Skip that part in the future!" Very tedious! I spent like 2 hours over it!? So, when I made another batch of bean paste, I processed the beans in a blender instead. And, I consoled myself through hypnosis: "You're making the more rustic Japanese tsubu-an … not smooth Chinese azuki bean paste …"
On top of that, my home-made azuki bean paste normally has WAY less sugar and fat. I used lard for my bean paste, too, which gave the end product a unique flavor. With that said, mine wasn't as smooth, soft, greasy and pliable as store-bought one. I suppose if you'd used the latter instead, it'd have been much easier to shape the filled dough for chrysanthemum shape. Oh! My chrysanthemum pastries look paler as no egg wash was applied. *Sigh*
In the end, it was the lessons I gathered out of that particular episode that matter. Once I feel settled down, I'll recreate chrysanthemum pastries. Who knows, I may tinker with the idea of using store-bought azuki bean paste instead … (Pei-Lin, this is so not you!)
Better Late Than Never
I'll leave you with the dough recipe for Chinese flaky pastries, as well as the recipe for azuki bean paste. (Click on the hyperlinks to view the recipes.) Do try them out if you're interested. Last but not least, before I sign off, here's to wish once again
A happy, happy birthday to dearest Keren Ruth!
… And …
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. It's time to reunite with your loved ones. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
I certainly hope it's not too late to say these!
… And …

text: To unlock the doors of Syfy's newest series, Warehouse 13, we went directly to the show's secret keepers—executive producers David Simkins and Jack Kenny—for an exclusive look inside. Here's what we've learned about the government's classified storage facility and the agents (played by Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly) assigned to track its supernatural artifacts. It's More Than Sci Fi: Warehouse 13 is the rebranded Syfy network's first series premiere, and it's definitely not just science fiction. Warehouse 13 appeals to all fans of fun. If you like Reaper, Bones, Fringe, Indiana Jones or the madcap romance and charisma you'd find in a Cary Grant movie, you'll enjoy Warehouse 13. Pinkie swear. Dream Team: Stars Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly have wicked chemistry—and a refreshingly nonromantic relationship—as secret-service agents Peter and Myka, the investigators who head out each episode to track down the artifacts and talismans that are meant to be impounded in Warehouse 13. "I think it's so much more fun to play the brother-sister 'Odd Couple' aspect," executive producer Kenny tells us. "They know how to push each other's buttons, they know what they fight over, they know what they love and they know how to make each other laugh. They just know so much about each other already that it'll be a fun surprise if we ever do suddenly land them in a romantic relationship with each other, but it won't be for quite a while. If it happens at all."

After doing some research, I realized that 74% of women believed a baseball game is great place to meet a man. Now, after looking at that stuff over and over again, I realized that I can't just go to a ticket office, hurdle some tickets, sit my big butt down on the seat and watch the game expecting to find a man. Unfortunately, it's not they way it works. So, today, I'm trading in my stilettos for a pair of runners. Let's play ball. Alright, 90% of women also say, you're supposed to brush up on sports knowledge before you actually play the game, that's why, I bought a newspaper. Okay. Who's this guy?
But I do know him [unknown], he's a baseball player.
Yeah, you now, I can play baseball
I heard about threaded actually.
Uh huh.
You know where.
I was just really sports today.
We did get threaded 5 years ago, so you're right.
Wait, I would like thread today
That was an awesome playback. You're playing first.
My play out first.
You're playing first.
Oh yeah. Well.
I know but when I was saved.

You jump.
There's someone in great place and I need to play.
You jump, you got it, it's awesome.
I'm Josie.
Hi Josie girl.
I wanted to comment on your play.
Thanks a lot.
Settle with good. The infielders take a price for sexiest position, a walking 46 percent of women believe that the pitcher is the sexiest person on the field. 32 percent of women like shortstop, and only 7 percent of women think the outfielders are sexy. Sorry outfielders. So, what position what you have?
Left field
What's wrong with the outfield?
He's a little bit attractive than the shortstop a bit. Is that sure?
Oh no, but that's what they say.
We've got better arm.
What is your-- what's stuff that I could be interested with you?
Not that good.
He's personally the sexiest.
Not that good at all.
Like that
Yeah. Everybody says elbow up, I say elbow down.
Because the first thing you do when you shrink
Uh huh.
is you're automatically gonna drop the elbow down, so you might as well just keep down for now and just, you know, make it easy for you.
What's position when you play baseball?
Shortstop. Okay.
Baseball players are cute than basketball and football players according to 37% of single females. 7 percent think it's because they sweat less. And how did you do up to that last time.
I go to hit.
Oh good.
I got a single.
Oh good.
Oh I'm to that now
I'm single and you.
Oh yeah.
I wish being one.
Nice to meet you, I'm Ron.
I'm here to ask the girls in a team.
Who's single and who's not?
Right, Alright.
Singles or not.
That man right there.
He's very nice looking at.
I think so. I think so.
I think so much--
Oh what about the shortstop.
He seems single.
He is single too.
He's a flirt.
He is so dark.
Pitcher is
So, why do they call this the Beer League.
Well, after the game, we will like to have one or 2 or 6 beers.
So, we go together.
You can do that.
With baseball, there gonna be tons of men. They're gonna outnumber the women. They're gonna be highly competitive, which is always a bonus, mix that with the after baseball drinks. I say It's a great place to meet your dream guy.

Mayflower, IGA prevail in Rookie League play10:24 am | May 28, 2012
Mayflower Restaurant defeated Omni Source 5-2 in the first half of Friday's 8U double header at Larry Brown Field.
Teddy Orton's two RBIs were huge for the yellow and brown charges as they gave the youngsters a lead they would not relinquish. Solid performances from Colby Chausee, Carson Peters, Steven Perry and Jackson Taylor also helped Mayflower prevail offensively in a contest in which both teams learned about fundamental baseball.
Omni Source did not go away quietly during the entireity of the game's brief duration due to time limit. Solid outings from Nicholas Wilson, Jesse Hardin and Matthew Wilkins allowed the team with Happy Valley colors to stay within striking distance before the game was called in the third due to time constraints.
J's Corner ……………………. 4
The second half of Friday night's doubleheader was a dandy that saw IGA capture a 6-4 win over J's Corner.
The contest, which featured three lead changes, really gave both teams offensive headway as they both compete to catch Farm Bureau Insurance in the 8U ranks.
Jacob Williams, Caleb Franklin and Conner Johnson are becoming a potent three-headed attack for the J's Corner bats, and it was their combined play that really got the scoring underway in the game.
Williams' three-run double to drive in Franklin, Johnson and Seth Carter gave J's Corner a 3-0 lead heading into the bottom half of the first Inning.
IGA would counteract the strong offensive performances from Eli Ayers, Zac Workman and Collin Morgan. Morgan would display the most prowess with a 2-RBI double to give IGA its first lead of the night in the bottom of the first.
Andrew Little, Avery Scalf, Elijah Martin and Ethan Hyder also turned in solid performances for IGA in the win.
The game lasted only three innings due to time constraints.

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
USA, 2012, 72 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Animals, Cult, Documentary, Family Friendly, Sports
Programs: Documentary, Special Presentation, Spotlight on ColoradoLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: Alexandre O. Philippe
Producer: Alexandre O. Philippe, Robert MuratoreEditor: Dave KrahlingScreenwriter: Alexandre O. PhilippeCinematographer: Robert Muratore
Acclaimed documentary director Alexandre O. Philippe (The People vs. George Lucas) does not shy away from quirky subjects. A repeat favorite at SDFF, he brings his latest feature, The Life and Times of Paul the Psychic Octopus, to the screen with eight arms wide open.
The film opens with exclusive footage of Paul's over-the-top funeral at Sea Life Oberhausen, Germany, where he caused a media frenzy in death as well as life. Paul's cremation at the aquarium brings tears to the eyes of those who loved and cared for him. For pundits who believed in his telepathic abilities, it was the loss of "one of the greatest football tipsters ever." And for skeptics, some of whom sent in recipes to cook him, it was the end of a giant scam.
Paul successfully predicted eight out of eight football matches during the 2010 soccer World Cup. At the height of his popularity, he had a talent agent, a smartphone app, and a record deal. Nations squabbled over claims as his birthplace, and, after Paul's death, Ireland jumped in to train a successor, while operators of Sea Life anointed Paul II to replace him.
Philippe and his crew interview animal-behavior experts, psychics, football fans, Paul's Sea Life staff and crew, his agent, Spanish national football team world champions Joan Capdevila and Carlos Marchena, and statistician David Speigelhalter, who explains the 600-to-1 odds of Paul's incredible divination rate. What began as a 30-minute short soon grew into a feature as Milkhaus editor Dave Krahling and Philippe added cartoons by Italian filmmaker Giacomo R. Bartocci, animation, and crowd-sourced footage and music gathered during production.

Cool Sweep presented by RG&E is the City's annual public safety and customer service program to help city residents who have limited opportunities to find relief from summer heat. Cool Sweep kicks off once schools let out for summer recess. A Cool Sweep operation is triggered when the forecast calls for a day to reach 85 degrees.

Perhaps a luxurious Santa Barbara resort where every whim is catered to, and you spend each day being pampered to your heart's content? Or do you prefer a romantic bed and breakfast where you and your beloved can take a break from the outside world to hide away on a secluded garden patio and indulge in wine tastings at dusk?
Like the city itself, Santa Barbara hotels are a study in choice, ranging from exquisite luxury hotels to the brand-name budget motels that you know and trust, to everything in-between. So whether you prefer a family-friendly hotel where kids can be kids, a pet-friendly hotel that pampers to our canine companions, an extended stay hotel for business travelers, Santa Barbara has something for every taste and budget.

With electric tanks, the timers are essentially useless- the temps don't fall far enough over 8-10 hours to reduce the average heat loss by even a percent or two.
With gas heaters (which are inherently lossier due to the necessary insultion gaps and convection through the center tank heat exchanger) it's maybe a bit more, but "...a worthwhile investment..." probably not, in most cases. (It might be with propane-fired tanks though, due the high cost of the fuel.)
What IS a worthwhile investment is insulating the near-tank plumbing (withing 6' of the tank) to at least R4 with closed-cell foam pipe insulation (including the cold feed an the temperature & pressure outledt plumbing), as well as any accessible hot water distribution plumbing. The cheezy 3/8" wall stuff sold at box stores is better than nothing (~ R2) , but in most instances going with 5/8"-3/4" wall goods (online, or from plumbing supply houses, or Grainger). See:
Sometimes the better solution is the lowest-tech.

how to eat zucchini
19 comments:
- corrine baker said...
Grilled. Roasted. Or sauteed and added into some marinara for pasta night! My mom makes zucchini boats stuffed with garlic, cream cheese, and herbs and baked. Very rich, but sometimes a nice treat.

- The Webbs said...
ahhh your stuffed zucchini looks waaaay better than mine. my husband loves it stuffed with veggies and sausage-I really need to try it veggie style one day (i think zucchini is meaty enough itself).
the only way i will not eat this stuff is how my MIL does (i love my MIL by the way!), she just cooks it up with milk.. bleh!
this looks amazing-cant wait to try new recipes.

the stuffed zucchini looks so delicious. sigh. i wish i could cook. or had slight knowledge about food. and cooking.

When I have a LOT of zucchini I just start shredding it and adding it to stuff--even meatloaf!
- July 11, 2012 at 2:35 PM
- Our Paper Plates said...
Yum!! We shred zucchini and add it to refried beans with homemade taco seasoning. It makes a yummy burrito w/ lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and salsa. And of course avocados..yum. I'm all about hiding vegetables in my toddler's food when she isn't ready to eat them raw with the family.

I love grilled zuchinni, squash, and red peppers. Also, those three sauteed, with some onion added in. So good. I don't know how I never enjoyed the stuff before!

darn squash bugs and the heat got my plant this year!!! agh!
- July 11, 2012 at 4:36 PM
- Stacy said...
Those look so good. I make mine with feta and tomato. I like the idea of adding butter beans. Roasted is my favorite and quickest way. I also make zucchini crisps with panko, parm and olive oil. very tasty.

- whitneyingram said...
For the farm-to-table dinner, we did a zucchini gratin. Layers of thinly sliced zucchini with smoked gouda and aged cheddar, some garlic and onions and heavy cream. People went nuts for it. It was the favorite dish of the night by far. So many people asked me if it is going to be in the book. So I decided to do that. BUT.... it isn't the prettiest dish on the planet. You are going to have to get creative on how to photograph it. :)
- July 12, 2012 at 8:29 AM
- Carissa Knight said...
I love zucchini every possible way, including raw. We had a zucchini pad thai dish last night, but usually I can't get past just grilling it! Our plants aren't doing well...I think I planted them too late, so the heat is really making them struggle. I'm hoping they'll perk up & start producing soon!

Your stuffed zucchini looks so good!
Interesting tidbit about the pollination thing... Gotta love those hardworking bees!
Personally, I don't like when zucchini gets monstrous... There's just somethings so unappetizing about them when they get huge. Ha! Weird..

I absolutely love stuffed vegetables, these look sensational!

Thank you for sharing my zucchini cake! I also love to make a simple pasta with grated zucchini, onions and red pepper flakes: saute everything together until it is golden and melty then toss with spaghetti and a bit of the pasta water and olive oil, then top with grated parmesan and a squeeze of lemon. It's a simple and delicious summertime meal. Oh, and this recipe looks totally delicious.

Yep, I'm one of those with hundreds of them right now, yellow and green. I prefer to eat mine raw or put straight on the grill but they can be no bigger than 4 inches otherwise they turn bitter.

Oh gosh! These look absolutely scrumptious!!!

HARRISONBURG, Va., Oct. 1, 2011 – Fueled by 297 yards rushing and seven quarterback sacks from its defense the James Madison football team powered past the University of Richmond 31-7 at Bridgeforth Stadium on Saturday.
JMU won its fourth straight game to improve to 4-1 this season and 2-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association. UR lost its second straight, dropping to 3-2 and 0-2 in the conference.
JMU running backs combined to average 5.5 yards per carry, gaining 297 yards and four touchdowns on 54 carries. Redshirt sophomore running back Jordan Anderson (Chanitlly, Va./Westfield) rushed for a career-high 162 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries. Redshirt freshman Jauan Latney (Fredericksburg, Va./Massaponax) added 98 yards and a touchdown on 19 rushes.
Richmond struck for the game's first score as DeShawn Holmes blocked a punt during the Dukes' opening drive and ran it back to the three-yard line. Three plays later, Kendall Gaskins plunged in from a yard out for the first score of the game. Wil Kamin added the extra point and the Spiders led 7-0 less than four minutes into the game.
The Dukes evened the score with an 11-play, 62-yard drive that took more than five minutes off the clock. Latney finished the drive with a five-yard scoring run and sophomore kicker Cameron Starke's (Halifax, Va./Halifax County) extra point split the uprights to tie the game at seven at the 12:29 mark in the second quarter.
After a three-and-out by the Spiders, the Dukes' started their next drive on the UR 43-yard line. Latney led another scoring drive with four rushes for 18 yards, and redshirt freshman quarterback Jace Edwards (Midland, Texas/Robert E. Lee) capped the drive with a 10-yard scramble up the middle for the touchdown.
On the next possession, Richmond was held to just four plays, before quarterback Aaron Corp fumbled on fourth-and-12 on a sack from freshman defensive end Sage Harold (Virginia Beach, Va./Ocean Lakes). JMU redshirt senior defensive end D.J. Bryant (Baltimore, Md./Randallstown) recovered at the 37-yard line to send Madison into the half with a 14-7 advantage.
In the opening drive of the second half, the Dukes snuffed out a fake punt as redshirt senior safety Vidal Nelson (Virginia Beach, Va./Kellam) intercepted punter Nick Hicks' throw to set the Dukes' up at their own 30. The Dukes went 70 yards In just three minutes in a six-play scoring drive. Anderson broke off the drives' big play, scoring from 45-yards out to stretch the JMU lead to 21-7.
Starting the fourth quarter at its own one-yard line, Richmond was forced to punt and JMU began its next possession on its own 47. On the second play of the drive, Anderson outraced the UR defense, scoring from 49-yards out for his second touchdown of the day.
On the ensuing drive, JMU's defensive line continued its domination as it forced another three-and-out to set up a 44-yard field goal by Starke to cap the day's scoring at 31-7.
Harold finished the day with two and a half sacks and a pair of forced fumbles to lead the defense. Redshirt senior defensive tackle Lamar Middleton (Newark, N.J./Shabazz) added two tackles for loss, including a sack while redshirt senior linebacker Pat Williams (Virginia Beach, Va./First Colonial) had a team-high eight tackles. Collectively, JMU limited the Spiders to -12 yards rushing on 25 carries.

Criminal Justice
Why study Criminal Justice?
Crime is a fascinating and complex area of research and study. Criminal Justice provides students with the knowledge and skills to understand crime, why people commit crime, crime prevention and the criminal justice system. The broad-ranging course examines and critically analyses regional, rural and urban crime, the various policies designed to prevent crime, and issues such as public safety, forensic psychology, causes of deviant behaviour and public security. Students can combine their interest in specific crime-related areas, such as victims of crime, policing, criminal profiling and crime prevention, to develop a career in either the public or private sector.
Where can it lead?
Career opportunities for a Bachelor of Arts (Criminal Justice) graduate include:
- Community Corrections Officer
- Court officer
- Police officer (requires additional training)
- Corrections
- Paralegal worker
- Government departments (eg Department of Justice, Attorney-General's Dept)

text: Dan Crummett Archives Email Author Honda Boosts Towing/Load Capacities for 2011 Big Red A tweaked suspension and new OSHA ROPS rating highlight new model's offerings. Published on: Nov 16, 2010 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print When Honda introduced the Big Red utility vehicle in 2008 it had a lot of over-engineering in it for farm and ranch applications. As the side-by-side UTV market matured it became apparent towing and box load capacity were selling points buyers wanted, and the 2008 design's ratings needed some touch ups. So, the Big Red's in dealer show rooms right now are sporting an upped cargo box rating of 1,000 pounds, up from 500, and a towing capacity boosted from 1,200 pounds to 1,500 pounds. While no power-train changes were necessary to meet the new ratings, Honda's engineers did beef up the tubing used in the rear suspension. New single-stage springs around redesigned fully-adjustable rear shock absorbers continue Big Red's good ride, even under increased loads. Meanwhile new rims and Maxxis Big Horn tires especially designed for the Big Red round out the heavier-hauling aspects of the machine.Available in Honda's signature bright red, olive green and camouflage, the 2011 Big Red from Honda sports stouter towing and load capacities. Another change is the new fully contoured bench seat that replaces bucket seats, a nod toward easier ingress and egress, along with roll-up side nets that don't get in the way like the initial design was found to do. Also, new for 2011 is the Big Red's OSHA-approved ROPS design. The Big Red continues to be powered with a 675 cc fuel-injected, liquid-cooled single-cylinder driving an automotive style torque converter and fully automatic three-speed transmission. All Big Reds have 2WD mode, along with a 4WD rear differential lock option, and a fully-FWD differential locked mode -- selectable from the dash board. Honda offers 37 accessories for Big Red buyers who will be paying $11,699 for red or olive models, or $12,299 for a machine in Natural Gear camo. Tomorrow, we'll feature a driver's experience story along with video of the new machine as members of the off-road and agricultural media get to test the machine along the shores of Lake Irvine in Orange County, California.

An ongoing challenge facing CME professionals is the Accreditation Council for CME's updated accreditation criteria. As many CME providers are faced with limited staff, decreasing funding, and increasing responsibilities, it's natural to feel overwhelmed at the thought of assuming any additional tasks. But here's a bit of perspective: Have you ever watched someone juggle ten bowling pins and wondered, "How'd they do that?" Well, the answer is simple: They start with one pin at a time. Similarly, if we approach implementing the updated accreditation criteria or adopting any new best practice with a "one at a time" mentality, the task becomes far less intimidating, and it's easier to envision success.
Build on Your Strengths
Often, when we are faced with adopting a new practice, we completely abandon the old one. The updated accreditation criteria build upon the earlier requirements, the Essential Areas and Their Elements, something we as accredited providers already follow as daily practice. A logical starting point is to examine your existing best practices. Review both sets of guidelines — the updated criteria and the Essential Areas and Their Elements. Look for the similarities. Then highlight the differences, which aren't as great as one might think. Start with your mission statement (Essential Area/Element 1). Is your mission clearly reflected in your daily practices, as well as in the activities you design and implement? If not, where are the areas forimprovement?
Next, review your existing internal policies and procedures. How close (or far) are you from meeting the updated criteria? Map out where you are versus where you want to be, and then implement a reasonable timeline for making improvements based on your existing business framework. Focus on the strengths and positive aspects of your overall CME/CE program.
Your Resources
ACCME's Web site offers a very practical, updated accreditation criteria tool kit (available at accme.org); it's even segmented according to provider type. This is an excellent resource for helping providers get started. Another great resource is your own organization's accreditation self-study. Don't let it collect dust on a bookshelf somewhere for four (or six) years! What improvements did you plan to make? How do they correspond with the updated accreditation criteria? Start with the easiest change(s) so that you can build momentum. Track your progress during the course of each year of your accreditation cycle. Keep records of what you've accomplished, and measure the results.
Each One, Teach One; Each One, Reach One
Sharing what we do well is critical to the success of our industry. Whether it's using a public forum, such as conferences and publications, or simply picking up the phone and calling one another, let's find ways to collectively address how to successfully implement the updated accreditation criteria in our overall CME programs.

"Liquid Sockeye Salmon Oil"
Ann Edelman on 12/1/2013 10:13:18 AM
Review: I got this for our dog. We always give him fish oil daily for his joints, coat, and overall health. I recently started giving him this salmon oil and what a difference! This is so pure with a bright red-orange color. Our dog loves it! This is the best, and his fur is so healthy!!

"This invitation was just what I wanted: classy yet cheerful. The touch of color communicates the spirit of a joyful occasion. Friends agree that it is lovely and perfect. I was thrilled with the quality of the cardstock and envelopes, and the printing was flawless."
"We used this card for our son's bar mitzvah invitations, because we were looking for an invitation that was simple and contemporary. Many people have already commented on the lovely and elegant design. The invitations were printed perfectly, and we received the envelopes very quickly. I had scoured many websites before purchasing this card, but this one was by far the best value without skimping on design. The only thing I would caution is that there isn't a lot of space for wording; you have to make it short and sweet!"
"I was able to personalize this card, including importing Hebrew text for my son's name, and changing the format while maintaining the integrity of the design. I am getting wonderful feeback from people ... Clean lines, easy to read, simple but elegant."
"The invitations were terrific! When creating my personalization, I realized that some of the text wrapped around to a second line. Although I wasn't able to fix this, the customer service/graphics folks were wonderful with my requests and made perfect edits. The overall product was even better than what I expected from the online order page. Thank you."
"The invitation turned out very nice. It has shades of light purple in it which are more difficult to see online. The online chat was helpful when I needed to have more room for some words. They were able to explain that the graphic designers would be able to fix it and send a photo of the actual final product before it was printed."
