Bixby and Peyer have known each other since they were young, but got married only a few years ago.
"It just hadn't been the right time, until it was. God bless Facebook," says Peyer.
"She Facebooked me, and asked if I remembered her, and then it just went from there," Bixby says.
But there's one big issue where they do not see eye-to-eye. Peyer is Lutheran. Her father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all pastors. She's an assisting minister. Bixby is an atheist.
"I do not believe that there is any sort of a higher power. I've made several attempts to go back and have faith, and it just doesn't work," he says. "It's not an open question for me anymore."
"I would really like it if he could feel God's love the way I do. And it's one of those very few places where I feel like I can say, 'I hear you, I understand what you're saying, I love you and I think that there may be more to it,' " Peyer says.

|Research framework
|Key theories
|Key concepts
Pedagogy (/ˈpɛdəɡɒdʒi/ or /ˈpɛdəɡoʊdʒi/)[1] is the science and art of education, specifically the teaching of children. Whereas the teaching of adults is considered androgogy
An instructor develops conceptual knowledge and manages the content of learning activities in pedagogical settings. Modern pedagogy has been strongly influenced by the cognitivism of Piaget, 1926, 1936/1975; the social-interactionist theories of Bruner, 1960, 1966, 1971, 1986; and the social and cultural theories of Vygotsky, 1962. These theorists have laid a foundation for pedagogy where sequential development of individual mental processes—such as recognizing, recalling, analyzing, reflecting, applying, creating, understanding, and evaluating—are scaffolded. Students learn as they internalize the procedures, organization, and structures encountered in social contexts as their own schemata. The learner requires assistance to integrate prior knowledge with new knowledge. Children must also develop metacognition, or the ability to learn how to learn.[2]
The word comes from the Greek παιδαγωγέω (paidagōgeō); in which παῖς (país, genitive παιδός, paidos) means "child" and άγω (ágō) means "lead"; literally translated "to lead the child".
Academic degrees[edit]
An academic degree, Ped. D., Doctor of Pedagogy, is awarded honorarily by some U.S. universities to distinguished teachers (in the U.S. and U.K., earned degrees within the instructive field are classified as an Ed. D., Doctor of Education or a Ph.D. Doctor of Philosophy). The term is also used to denote an emphasis in education as a specialty in a field (for instance, a Doctor of Music degree in piano pedagogy).
The word pedagogue actually relates to the slave who escorts Roman children to school. In Denmark, a pedagogue is a practitioner of pedagogy. The term is primarily used for individuals who occupy jobs in pre-school education (such as kindergartens and nurseries) in Scandinavia. But a pedagogue can occupy various kinds of jobs, e.g. in retirement homes, prisons, orphanages, and human resource management. These are often recognised as social pedagogues as they perform on behalf of society.
The pedagogue's job is usually distinguished from a teacher's by primarily focusing on teaching children life-preparing knowledge such as social skills and cultural norms, etc. There is also a very big focus on care and well-being of the child. Many pedagogical institutions also practice social inclusion. The pedagogue's work also consists of supporting the child in their mental and social development. [3]
In Denmark all pedagogues are trained at a series of national institutes for social educators located in all major cities. The programme is a 3.5-year academic course, giving the student the title of a Bachelor in Social Education (Danish: Professionsbachelor som pædagog)[4]
It is also possible to earn a master's degree in pedagogy/educational science from the University of Copenhagen. This BA and MA program has a more theoretical focus compared to the above mentioned Bachelor in Social Education.
In Hungary, the word pedagogue (pedagógus) is synonymous with teacher (tanár); therefore, teachers of both primary and secondary schools may be referred to as pedagogues, a word that appears also in the name of their lobbyist organizations and labor unions (e.g. Labor Union of Pedagogues, Democratic Labor Union of Pedagogues[5]). However, undergraduate education in Pedagogy does not qualify students to become teachers in primary or secondary schools but makes them able to apply to be educational assistants. As of 2013, the 5-year training period was re-installed in place of the undergraduate and postgraduate division which characterized the previous practice.[6]

I received exactly what I order and they are great.
Well done
I got these in pine and everyone constantly commented on how amazing they were - as in people of all ages - they recently broke after I wore them for at least a year every day - so I've just orderd another pair...incredible price too! Highly recommended.
I have purchased many glasses from this company and I love them. This pair i just haht they look cheap first of all and they do not fit right. I thought they would be a better qualtity since all the other glasses I bought were great. Very dissapointed
The last pair of these glasses that I had had very comfortable lenses and I found them nice to wear. I prized them so much that I didnt wear them every day so I could look after them but alas the frame broke as I adjusted them on my nose. So I have ordered 2 more pair of these which to date have not yet arrived

How is multiple myeloma treated?
Survival rates by stage for multiple myeloma
Survival rates are often used by doctors as a standard way of discussing a person's prognosis (outlook). Some patients with cancer may want to know the survival statistics for people in similar situations, while others may not find the numbers helpful, or may even not want to know them. If you decide that you don't want to know them, stop reading here and skip to the next section.
Median survival refers to the time it took for half of the patients in that group to die. By definition, half the patients lived longer than the median survival. It is important to remember that the median is just a kind of average used by researchers. No one is "average" and many people have much better outcomes than the median.
Survival rates are often based on previous outcomes of large numbers of people who had the disease, but they cannot predict what will happen in any particular person's case. Many other factors can affect your outlook, such as your age and general health, the treatment you received, and how well your cancer responds to treatment. Your doctor can tell you how the numbers below may apply to you, as he or she is familiar with your situation.
The numbers below are the approximate overall median survival for the International Staging System stages. These times are measured from the point that treatment, such as chemotherapy, first started. Many patients, such as those with indolent or smoldering myeloma, have a good deal of time after diagnosis before treatment is started. Also, these patients were treated anywhere from 5 to 25 years ago. Treatment since then has improved considerably and modern results are likely to be better.
International Staging System Stage

Stage II

From mid-century to the present there have always been artists working with the recognizable figure. The most famous of movements to return to figuration was Pop Art in the late 1950s. The movement itself was a reaction to what was perceived as the domination of Abstract Expressionism in the art world in America. Since then many artists continue to produce figurative work in a variety of styles.

"This invitation was easy to put together and I like the different options to personalize with a few different colors, fonts and back designs. I'd looked everywhere for the non-typical baby shower invitations and this is the perfect place to get them. The printing quality and clarity of the design was wonderful and the mommy who is the guest of honor is pleased. I was a little disappointed in the paper it was printed on as I had pictured something a little more sturdy but it was still good quality paper. I'll definitely be coming back for future showers I throw!"
"I absolutely loved the invites I orderd. They were speedy and beautiful. The mommy-to-be was very surprised and loved them as well. I have gotten many compliments on them and asked where I got them from. Soo cute."
"The quality of the invitation was absolutely remarkable. My guests and I loved the design and I really loved that the envelopes were RED! This went well with my "Super Baby" theme. Can't wait to have another event so that I can order more invitations from Tiny Prints."
"The design is exactly as appears on website. The quality of paper is card stock. I was actually quite happy with it. i was really hoping not to receive thin quality paper and I didn't. The font size I chose (12pt) was perfect. The only downfall was that I could not provide much detailed information regarding the shower because there simply isn't enough room. I suggest Tinyprints to bring the whole text box up further to the top so your customers could add more text if necessary."
"A big hit! Both the guests and the mom-to-be loved the invitation! Our order arrived on-time and looked great. Can't wait to use TinyPrints for the thank you's."

80 acres of Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve decimated, Audubon Society furious
Count bird lovers among the outraged following the Army Corps of Engineers' decimation of 80 acres of wildlife refuge last week.
The L.A. Daily News reports the corps ripped up trees and stripped shrubbery from the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve — an action they say was meant to help police an area known for homeless camps and lewd behavior.
They say the move was part of a multiyear restoration initiave that includes removing non-native plants and trees.
San Fernando Audubon Society officials say the public wasn't throughly informed of the plan, and that the "cleanup" removed native plants, utterly devastating an area that attracts many local and migratory birds.
Notes the L.A. Daily News:
Where there had been three decades of coyote bushes, mulefat and elderberry tree growth, there were now stumps and a field of twisted branches.
Where there was once a smooth hiking path through an area called the South Reserve was now a mud-filled road scarred by thick tire tracks.
Where a forest of brush and tall trees stood in the center of the San Fernando Valley was now an unobstructed view of the Sepulveda Dam and the nearby Ventura (101) Freeway.
And where there were once warblers and least bell's vireos - not to forget the scissortail flycatchers, broadwing hawks and rose-breasted grossbeaks favored by birders across the state - there was hardly a bird in sight.

As London's population continues to grow, using the increasingly overcrowded Underground can feel a bit like a daily battle. And with the annual cost of a Zone 1-4 travel card at an eye watering £2,288 (or £219 per month) lots of Londoners are looking for alternatives.
Family cars have a lot to cope with but thankfully there are plenty of practical and versatile models on the market at affordable prices.
What's more, modern advances have transformed the once tired and thirsty family wagon into an altogether more agreeable car that's comfortable, with low running costs and impressive fuel economy.
Garages that have been removed from the MoT scheme following formal disciplinary action are to be made public from April.
The congestion charging system is forever changing, with the rules for exemption tightening as car manufacturers work hard to produce cleaner vehicles. The latest round of congestion charge exemption rules are particularly fierce, meaning just a handful of new cars are eligible for a full discount.
With the London congestion charge set to increase by 15% this summer, you'd be forgiven for thinking that motoring in and around the capital is fast becoming the reserve for the rich and famous.
If you live in London and are searching for a new car then it's quite likely that you'll be considering a diesel-powered vehicle. After all, a diesel engine ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to buying a new car, with good fuel economy and performance being among its two chief attributes.
With three new season models to display, plus new colour options for the remainder of its range, Kawasaki have a lot to pack on their stand at the upcoming Carol Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show.
Buying a new SUV for under £10,000 is possible thanks to the Dacia Duster, but for those who want more creature comforts or who need genuine off-road ability with all-wheel drive the only way to get something in budget is to look at the used car market.
The world's leading motorcycle manufacturers, including BMW, Ducati, Harley-Davidson, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Triumph and Yamaha are gearing up for the 2014 Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show at the ExCel Centre from February 14 to 16.
When Kawasaki launched the all-new Z1000SX in Spain three years ago (November 2010), they announced that it would be in a class of its own. Very brave.
Dan Powell, managing editor of motoring website Honest John, writes about the growing affordability of electric cars.
One of London's most popular shopping streets came to a standstill as more than 300 cars from past, present and future gathered for the annual Regent Street Motor Show.
Can a car grow vegetables?
Twizy delivery vehicle would make a lot more sense for postmen than small diesel vans with DPFs that clog up: Twizy delivery on Twizy Forum.
The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is an innovative, fun and well equipped small electric city car.


text: IF the pipe is installed the way you show it, then removing toilet "A" would make the vent at the other toilet "legal". Your current shower drain is NOT "legal" the way you show it, and putting the toilet connection there would also be improper, unless you add a vent for it. The shower needs a new connection so you can put it anywhere you want to, as long as you vent its trap.

How to start a beauty salon/spa
Our guide on how to set up in the beauty industry
A popular choice as a start-up, beauty salons and spas are big business. UK adults spend around £5bn a year on health and beauty products, and much of this cash goes to salons. According to a 2008 report from beautyserve.com, there were over 13,000 salons in the UK, employing more than 30,000 people.
Industry analysts claim that beauty salons have performed well during the recession; a 2009 report from market research leaders Mintel found that only one in 10 women had stopped going to the salon to save money during the downturn. Furthermore a number of recent trends, notably the increasing number of men seeking specialist health and beauty treatment, have provided real benefit to salons up and down the country.
What is it?
According to a study commissioned by the International Spa Association, the number one reason clients give for visiting a spa is relaxation and stress relief. So it's important to realise that beauty salons and spas are about more than good grooming, massages and waxes. For some, they are a kind of modern-day sanctuary.
As well as providing top-notch beauty treatments, you have to put effort into making your salon a place people want to go to unwind, and be prepared to offer great customer service to make everyone feel welcome.
With top beauty schools and a large talent pool from which to choose staff – as well as steady consumer demand – the UK is a great place to set up a beauty salon or spa. British beauty therapy standards are recognised as being among the best in the world, too. If you're prepared to put the work in, your spa or salon could really make a name for itself.
Who is it suited to?
Usually, salon owners have a wealth of experience in the beauty industry and are fully-qualified beauty therapists in their own right.
Kim Ford, chairman of the British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (BABTAC), an independent industry body, comments: "Generally, the people opening salons are beauty therapists. It's essential that the person is qualified in this area if they're going to be delivering treatments themselves."
Many salon owners will also have management training to enable them to effectively manage the business and their team of staff. But whether they have management experience or not, beauty therapy know-how really is key.
Lorraine Fletcher of Atelier Salon & Spa, Redbourn, says she doesn't know how someone could run a spa or salon without it: "Anyone can set up in beauty therapy," she says. "I just don't know how well you would survive if you're not experienced enough in the industry to know what you're doing."
However, if your background is not in beauty, you don't necessarily have to rule it out. It is possible to employ a beauty therapist as a day-to-day manager to make up for any shortfalls in specialist knowledge. Kalpana Gurung of the Himalayan Day Spa, Chiswick has done just that.
"My business partner, who is my aunt, is a beauty therapist; I'm from a management background," Kalpana explains. "We teamed up and we decided to set up a spa together. I don't think you need to be from a spa background or beauty therapy background, but it helped a lot that she had experience."
If you do not have a beauty background, you need to ensure the staff you take on are sufficiently qualified, as Kim explains. "If you're going to open a salon and employ someone, it's essential the therapist you employ is qualified to at least level three in beauty therapy or holistic treatment."
Beauty therapy expert or not, the owner of a start-up salon must have unflagging people skills and stamina. Beauty is a service industry. You need to be prepared to put in long hours and settle with very little return for the first year or two.
Depending on how busy the salon is, where your business is situated and how many staff you need to pay, it may take a while before you recoup what is likely to be a hefty initial investment. In other words, you really need to love what you do.

Councilor Dan Lewis is pleased to present the adopted Sector Development Plan (SDP) for Volcano Heights in the Volcano Mesa area. Volcano Heights consists of approximately 570 acres, located along the volcanic Escarpment of the City's Northwest Mesa.
Mikaela Renz-Whitmore, 505-924-3932, Long Range Planning
Tony Duran, 505-768-3189, City Council Services
The Volcano Heights Sector Development Plan (SDP) envisions a mixed-use, walkable environment for existing and future residents and visitors as part of a larger strategy to reduce traffic congestion on the West Side and on the limited river crossings now and in the future.
Update as of 3/7/14
On February 6, 2014, the Environmental Planning Commission (EPC) voted to recommend approval of text amendments submitted by the Planning Department for the Volcano Heights SDP.
The amendments will next be heard by City Councilors on the Land Use, Planning, and Zoning (LUPZ) Committee, likely toward the end of April. You are invited and encouraged to participate in the review process. A draft incorporating all recommended changes to date, including those added by the EPC, can be downloaded below.
Proposed Changes
As originally intended, the Planning Department returned to all three sector development plans in Volcano Mesa after Volcano Heights was adopted in August 2013 to update the transportation network to be consistent among the three plans. During this review, other minor items were also identified to be clarified and adjusted to better meet plan goals.
The zoning map will not be affected, nor will goals and policies change. The proposed changes include the following items:
- Adding cross sections from Volcano Cliffs SDP and Special Assessment District 228 and renumbering cross sections accordingly to include the full transportation network within Volcano Mesa.
- Fixing the applicability of Plan sections for new or modified signs in Table 3.1.
- Adjusting the definition of Building Frontage to eliminate reference to lot width and change the calculation to be a ratio of the portion of the façade width within the Build-to Zone to the entire façade width.
- Adding residential and mixed-use developments to the restriction on grading permits only being issued concurrently with building permits to minimize opportunities for fugitive dust, a significant problem on the West Side and particularly near the Petroglyph National Monument.
- Reorganizing construction mitigation regulations in the Escarpment Transition zone to clarify requirements and help with enforcement.
- Moving a regulation intended for all structures out of the section on residential garages to the appropriate section.
- Allowing primary streets to count toward the required 'A' vs. 'B' Streets for each block.
Draft for Review
Text amendments are available as a redline draft below. Hard copies are available at the City of Albuquerque Planning Department, 600 2nd Street NW, 3rd Floor from December 30 onward. Please call the Project Manager, Mikaela Renz-Whitmore, at 505-924-3932 if you need help accessing a copy of the Plan.
Opportunities for Review and Comment
The LUPZ is expected to hear proposed text amendments in late April. The date and time will be posted hear as soon as it is scheduled. You may present comments verbally at the hearings and/or send written comments for inclusion in the file. Staff expects LUPZ to hold one hearing and then pass the amendments on to the full City Council for final action.
Staff is available to meet with you to answer questions, but all comments should be submitted in writing to be included in the file for Council review.

DRAINAGE PLAN STATUS: The Albuquerque Metropolitan Area Flood Control Authority (AMAFCA) held a public meeting December 17, 2013 to review its progress on the Drainage Management Plan for Volcano Heights, within the Upper Piedras Marcadas Watershed. Discussions included water quality and drainage management issues, alternatives for needed infrastructure, and alternatives for reimbursement of infrastructure construction. Wilson & Co is the engineering consultant for the Drainage Plan for Volcano Heights.
Please visit AMAFCA's project webpage or contact Karen Stearns, 505-884-2215, for more information.
ACCESS MODIFICATION: The Transportation Coordinating Committee (TCC) approved the City's request for new intersections on the limited-access Paseo del Norte and Unser Boulevard within Volcano Mesa to support the Volcano Heights and Volcano Cliffs Sector Development Plans.

Public Involvement & Adoption Process
The Volcano Heights SDP (Bill Number R-13-132) was adopted with unanimous support from the City Council on August 5, 2013 and signed by the Mayor on August 28, 2013. To watch the Council video, click this link.
Your input and support of this Plan throughout the adoption process was vital to ensuring that this area develops in a way that respects the existing development that surrounds it, the rock outcroppings throughout the Plan area, and the Petroglyph National Monument to the east, while providing an opportunity for area jobs, retail, and services that can help traffic congestion on river crossings over time.
The following summary documents are available to provide an overview of significant issues that arose during the process, and more information about the public process is available at the link below.
For information about past meetings throughout the Public Process of the Volcano Heights Sector Development Plan, please click on the link.
As part of a larger strategy to address the imbalance of jobs and housing on the City's East and West Sides, the Volcano Heights Sector Development Plan (SDP) provides opportunities for employment, regional retail, and higher-density housing options surrounding two of the most vital regional arterials on the West Side.
The Plan is intended to guide long-term development and stimulate job growth on the West Side by offering alternative zoning to the existing straight residential zoning. The Plan includes incentives to attract employment and urban development and regulations to provide predictability of high-quality development across property lines, along corridors, and over time. A streamlined approval process for development projects is proposed to provide predictability and flexibility to meet market needs quickly. Strong design regulations are needed to ensure high-quality development for potential employers, existing and future residents, and surrounding property owners. As property owners are well aware, infrastructure is the key to success as well as the biggest challenge.
The Plan is intended to:
- Foster a predictable, high-quality, urban, walkable environment that can support multiple modes of transportation, including transit, over time.
- Articulate, promote, and safeguard community and stakeholder desires for the form and mass of buildings in relation to one another, and the scale and type of streets and blocks.
- Enable an enforceable, streamlined development process.
- Result in feasible development in the current and predicted future markets.
- Be enforceable and implementable.
- Provide appropriate and effective transitions, buffers, and other measures to protect existing neighborhoods and sensitive lands from the more negative impacts of urban development.
The planning themes expressed in the Plan include:
- Providing flexibility to respond to market conditions through mixed uses allowed in all proposed zones;
- Providing predictability for property owners, developers, and nearby residents through detailed design standards to help ensure quality development across property lines, along corridors, and over time;
- Creating opportunities for employment and local and regional retail and services on the City's West Side as part of a strategy to reduce traffic congestion on river crossings over time;
- Coordinating land use and transportation closely in order to create an urban built environment that supports existing and future residents and new businesses and works well for all modes of transportation, including autos, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit; and
- Balancing the density and intensity of land uses needed for a walkable, urban employment center with responsible protections for the unique landscape and sensitive lands next to the Petroglyph National Monument east of the Plan area as well as existing single-family neighborhoods north and south of the Plan area.
Volcano Heights is one of three sector development plans within the area referred to as Volcano Mesa. Each plan contains goals, policies, and regulations that address land use, transportation, and environment/open space.
- The Volcano Heights Sector Development Plan surrounds the intersection of Paseo del Norte and Unser Boulevard, between Universe Boulevard on the west and the Petroglyph National Monument on the east.
- The Volcano Trails Sector Development Plan (adopted in August 2011) is west of Volcano Heights.
- The Volcano Cliffs Sector Development Plan (adopted in May 2011) is south of Volcano Heights and Volcano Trails, bordered by the Petroglyph National Monument to the east and Major Public Open Space owned by the City of Albuquerque to the west.
- Volcano Mesa Map - THREE PLAN AREAS [1475KB]
Volcano Heights is approximately 570 acres surrounding the intersection of Paseo del Norte and Unser Boulevard, bounded on the east by the Petroglyph National Monument. The existing pattern of predominantly housing on the West Side served by few arterial roads contributes to traffic congestion in peak commuting hours, particularly on the region's limited river crossings, which is expected to result in up to 90-minute commutes to employment centers east of the river by 2035. In order to help provide more balance of jobs and housing on the West Side, the Plan provides opportunities for employment, regional retail, and higher-density housing options surrounding Paseo del Norte and Unser Boulevard. The Plan also proposes a mandatory street grid that would help disperse regional traffic and serve local development, including a transit boulevard that could accommodate high-capacity transit in the future. While this Plan is not a solution in itself, this planning effort represents a new level of commitment to coordinating land-use with local and regional transportation for all modes of travel, including pedestrian, bicycle, and transit.
In addition to traffic congestion, the Plan also attempts to address the challenge of coordinating future development despite a checkerboard ownership pattern. As the City believes this area may develop in pieces over the next 25 years, the Plan contains details at the level of a master development plan. To ensure predictability across property lines, along corridors, and over time, the Plan calls for mandatory streets that must be provided to ensure access for all properties; provides options for non-mandatory roads to serve local development; and requires detailed standards for cross sections, building placement, and architectural design.
Finally, the Plan attempts to balance the kind of density needed to support transit, walking, and cycling as well as a major employment and retail center with protections for rock outcroppings and sensitive lands needed to honor and respect the unique landscape and cultural history of this area. In addition to requirements for open space, the Plan includes an innovative, optional bonus height system that allows additional building height in certain zones in exchange for benefits to both the natural and built environments.

Tiemco™ 100 Dry Fly Hooks
Built strong to withstand long battles with fish and to satisfy the most demanding fly tiers, these Tiemco 100 Dry Fly Hooks are great for tying a variety of dry fly patterns. Sporting a bronze finish, these dry fly hooks are equipped with chemically sharpened points, 1x fine wire shanks, down eye, and a wide gape. 25 pack.
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by sierrafishing Great quality These are great quality hooks. They're sharp, strong and made well. July 22, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by NCflyguy Excellent hooks, but Mustad is better. These little hooks are great, good quality and strength. Very light as well. They bend easily in the 18-22 size range, but this is expected since the hooks are that small. They are a bit pricey however...honestly, I liked it better when BPS stocked the Mustad hooks. Those gave you more bang for your buck, you got 50 per package instead of 25 and they cost a buck or two less per package. The Tiemco's are great, but still not as good as Mustad. December 29, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Flyfisher0226 Umpqua Tiemco 100 dry fky hooks I found the hooks to be a good assortment for the flies I tye They were priced reasonably December 27, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by tuglove awesome value These hooks are a awesome value. Good sturdy hooks for tying any fly from size 12-22. I used a lot of different, cheaper brands trying to save a little money. All I use now are Umpqua Tiemco. May 27, 2010

Prairie Fare: How to decode symbols on packaged food"This food is rated 'R,' so it's not for me!" my 8-year-old daughter exclaimed. I think I nearly sprained my neck as I spun my head in her direction. I wanted to see what she was examining. "What are you talking about?" I asked in surprise.
By: Julie Garden-Robinson, INFORUM
"This food is rated 'R,' so it's not for me!" my 8-year-old daughter exclaimed.
I think I nearly sprained my neck as I spun my head in her direction. I wanted to see what she was examining.
"What are you talking about?" I asked in surprise.
She grinned and pointed to the "R" by a picture on a food package. I think she was teasing me.
"Oh, that's not a rating, like a movie rating," I explained. "R stands for registered trademark, not R rated. That means that other companies cannot use that symbol on another food, or they will be in legal trouble."
She lost interest in my food law lesson and trotted off to another activity. I kept looking at the box.
Food packages contain a wide variety of information that includes items that are required and many items that are not required.
Companies must list the name of the food, the company name and address (or contact information) and net weight.
While most foods provide nutrition information, not all foods are required to contain nutrition labels.
As I looked at the food package, I noted other letters and numbers that might be confusing. Try this short quiz to see what you know about the various letters and dates you might see on a food package.
1. What does the letter "U" mean on a food package? If the letter "U" has a "D" next to it, what does that mean?
2. You noticed that two boxes of cereal in your cupboard have "best by" dates that expired one month ago. Can you safely use these boxes of cereal?
3. You were trying to decipher the age of some eggs in your refrigerator, and you noticed the number 32 on the package. What would that indicate?
4. You were helping your aunt clean her cupboards and you found some canned goods in the back of the cupboard. A dusty can of tomatoes has the number 3052 listed on it. What would that tell you?
How did you do? Here are the answers.
1. The letter "U" on a food means that the food is kosher. It was processed according to Jewish dietary laws. Foods that are certified kosher can carry a U in a circle or a K in a circle, star or triangle. A "D" refers to dairy, so the "D" indicates the kosher product also contains milk.
2. Yes, you can use the cereal. As long as dry goods, such as cereal, are kept cool and dry, they last beyond their package quality date.
Through time, the nutritional value in the foods may decrease and the flavor may decline, but most likely you will not notice any changes after just one month.
A "best by" or "best if used by" date is a quality date, not a safety date. Most people prefer high-quality foods, so be sure to label your products with the date of purchase and arrange your cupboards in a first in, first out order.
3. Eggs typically carry a Julian date that indicates the day the eggs were packed. The number 001 refers to the first day of the year, Jan. 1. Since January has 31 days, an egg carton with a 32 on it would have been packed Feb. 1.
By the way, typically eggs have a shelf life of three to five weeks in your refrigerator as long as your refrigerator maintains a temperature of 40 degrees or lower.
4. Can codes are quite confusing. If you got this question correct, give yourself a pat on the back. The manufacturers can have their own dating systems, and you may have to contact the manufacturer to determine what the date means.
That said, a code of 3052 probably means your tomatoes were canned in March (the third month of the year), on the fifth day in 2002. Your canned tomatoes are well past their prime because most acidic canned foods have a shelf life in your home cupboard of 18 months. Toss them.
You can learn more about food storage in our newly updated "food storage guide" available at: www.ag.ndsu.edu/pubs/yf/foods/fn579.pdf.
Check out your cupboard. Do you have any canned beans or tomatoes available to make a tasty meal? Beans add fiber, protein, natural antioxidants and the B vitamin folate to your menus.
Drain and rinse the canned beans with water to decrease the amount of sodium they contain.
Pinto Bean Beef Tacos
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1½ pounds lean ground beef
1 medium green pepper, diced
2 tablespoon onion, chopped
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2¼ teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
24 taco shells
2 cups lettuce
6 ounces cheddar cheese
Mash beans with a fork and add some water to make a thick puree. Brown ground beef.
Add pepper, onion, sugar, salt, chili powder and cumin. Cook three to five minutes.
Add tomato sauce and bean puree to the beef mixture.
Simmer on low for 30 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Fill taco shells with meat mixture and top with lettuce and cheese.
Makes 12 servings. Each serving has 340 calories, 14 grams (g) of fat, 24 g of protein, 26 g of carbohydrates and 600 milligrams of sodium.

Embracing America's love affair for sweet treats and Greek yogurt just in time for Valentine's Day
YUBA CITY, Calif., Feb. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- This February, 51% of Americans will line up at stores around the country to purchase candy for their sweethearts on Valentine's Day.i For those looking for a decadent and indulgent treat without the guilt, Sunsweet, a leading marketer of prunes, specifically dried fruits and fruit juices, introduces New Greek Style PlumSweets™.
Just off the heels of the popular PlumSweets Dark Chocolate launch, the new Greek yogurt variety combines the same chewy inside of Plum Amaz!ns™ diced dried plums with a delicious, creamy and decadent Greek yogurt coating. Greek Style PlumSweets are a tasty addition to the PlumSweets family; they are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
Greek yogurt has taken the market by storm and Sunsweet is excited to capitalize on this hot food trend. "Nearly one quarter of Americans report eating more Greek yogurt this year compared to last,"ii says Jeff McLemore, vice president of North America marketing for Sunsweet. "People are looking for their favorite brands to incorporate Greek yogurt into the foods they already love. We put a modern and healthier twist on Greek yogurt with Greek Style PlumSweets."
At only 180 calories per ¼ cup serving, PlumSweets are not only a sweet treat for your taste buds but also for your waistline. Additionally, prunes are emerging as a dried fruit packed with health benefits. Recent studies suggest that prunes may help keep bones strong by preventing bone mineral loss, which often leads to osteoporosis.iii Additionally, prunes are a natural source of fiber, which can aid in weight maintenance, blood sugar control and digestive health. Compared to other dried fruits, prunes are lower in sugar and calories, and have a glycemic index of only 29. This low glycemic index means that prunes are digested slowly by the body, which helps to sustain energy over a longer period of time than a food with a high glycemic index.
Sunsweet has a variety of delicious and versatile products that harness the benefits of prunes, including:
Greek Style PlumSweets are currently available in test markets in Northern California and the East Coast at retailers including A&P, Ahold, Giant Eagle and Raley's. Look for the same sleek packaging and 6 ounce size as the Dark Chocolate PlumSweets.

About SUNSWEET
Sunsweet Growers Inc., established in 1917, has more than 95 years of experience and heritage in producing the highest quality dried fruits. The Yuba City, Calif.-based cooperative of 300 grower/members is the worldwide leader in prunes and related products. Most recently, the product portfolio has been expanded to include a full line of dried fruit snacks and juices, all designed to fit today's need for healthy and convenient food choices.
