Foods, Nutraceuticals & Ingredients Services
The Food & Health Unit, coordinated by Maria do Rosário Bronze, develops work in Food and Nutritional sciences, bringing together researchers with various expertises, including analytical and organic chemists, pharmacists, biochemists, microbiologists, biological and chemical engineers. This multidisplinary team work in different and complementary areas of research and have solid expertise in:
- Chemical characterization of food and food-based products
- Sensory evaluation
- Natural Products extraction and Fractionation
- Formulation of bioactive ingredients
- Pre-clinical bioactivity evaluation using well established chemical, enzymatic and cell-based assays.
The Food & Health Unit has established a network of collaborations with different national and international research teams, bridging different and complementary competences for the design and development of robust in vivo (animals and humans) tests for health claim substantiation of natural products, dietary supplements and functional foods.
One major outcome of the work developed is the relationship established between composition and function and recognition of synergetic effects between the different molecular entities present in food and natural ingredients. This knowledge is crucial for better understanding the role that bioactive ingredients, food, functional food and dietary supplements could have in preventing chronic and age-related diseases.
The group has a long standing cooperation with national food industries. Through contract research services, the Food in Health unit has provided scientific and technical support related with:
- Design and development of novel functional food products,
- Shelf-life studies, sensorial evaluation and microbiological and chemical testing
- Pre-clinical bioactivity characterization
- Design of human clinical trials for health claim substantiation of functional foods
- Support in the construction of scientific dossiers for health claims substantiation for submission to the European Commission (EC) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)
iBET is partner of rede INOVAR, PortugalFoods, Portuguese associations that gathers entities of the national scientific and technological system and regional and national entities of the agro-food sector.

I've been trying to get more serious about practising my recorder. Here are a couple of tools that help me. The metronome is a task master, keeping me to a selected speed. It is great for exercises and for practising tough passages in a sonata, but once you start really finding the music, it does not allow for nuance. The tuner, another tough teacher is about trying to keep a note at pitch without wavering - much harder than it sounds. I'm working on it and am now experimenting with alternate fingerings - a tough challenge for both body and mind!

A Double Header
Photo: November 27, 2016
Some people go to double header baseball games, or double features at a movie theatre (I think I did that forty years ago - I'm not sure they even have them any more). I went to two concerts, or should I say, one and a half concerts. Somehow one of the concerts was not in my agenda and we bought tickets for a second one. The first one was held in the church-like building just past the building with columns in front (the first building of the Musée des Beaux Arts). It was once a church but is now part of the museum. This concert was a joint venture of Les Boréades and the St. Lawrence Choir - four Bach chorales. I heard two and then just as they invited everyone to stand to sing the chorale at the end together, I dashed out. The next concert was held at the church to the left of the museum in St. Andrew's and St. Paul's Church. This one, part of the Bach Festival, was all instrumental. The Ensemble Café Zimmermann performed instrumental works by Bach. I managed to hear this concert in its entirety. And it was well worth it!

St-Henri is a neighbourhood of contrasts. Much of it reflects the working class neighbourhood it has been for many years. But gentrification is creeping in and there are those who live here who don't like the way their neighbourhood is changing. Can the old and the new - those upscale restaurants, cafés and quirky shops - live side by side? Or will one oust the other? Only time will tell.
November Evening
Photos: November 25, 2016
Each day the light fades earlier as we move towards the solstice just a few weeks away. I fight the sense of the need for hibernation and venture out in the evening.
The last of the light shows a tree, still clinging to its drying leaves. The light changes quickly.
Indoor lights beckon, but I continue on. Messages to do.

William Notman Exhibit
Photos: November 24, 2016
William Notman was a Scottish-Canadian photographer who spent most of his life in Montreal. He lived from 1826-1891. He photographed the elite of Montreal as well as many others. His studio (including his son and others) also produced photographs of landscapes across Canada. The McCord museum holds his archives and is holding an exhibit of some of his work.
He was an innovator in many ways, exploring stereoscopic photography among many other things. Above you can see an old stereoscopic viewer. He also created a sort of photo collage, combining many photos which were done in his studio with a painting backdrop to recreate scenes from large events.
He is most known for his portraits some detail of which you can see here. You can explore may of the photographs in the Notman archives here.
The Opa Chair
Photo: November 23, 2016
Some things are in my home because of their history and their usefulness. This chair is one. It originally belonged to my in-laws who, when they retired, moved south. My late husband, single at the time, kept the chair. It has been reupholstered a couple of times, but otherwise looks much as it did then. It has followed me whenever I moved. I discovered its true use as my relatives aged - a chair with arms is perfect for older people who need something stable to help push themselves up. My late father-in-law, Opa to my children, was one who used the chair whenever he was in Montreal. And so, the chair was dubbed the Opa Chair. It has served many people well over the years. It suffered some damage on my last move, but I had it repaired. It continues to be the chair of choice for those who need that extra boost to help them stand up after sitting a while.

I was walking along President-Kennedy Boulevard and passed this sculpture - appropriate on the anniversary of Kennedy's assassination. It was one of those events when everyone seems to remember where they were when they heard... I had just finished exams and was baking, waiting for my friend to arrive for an afternoon of fun. The radio was on and the news reporter interrupted the broadcast to share the shocking story. I remember answering the door and repeating what I had heard to my friend. Memory is odd - the details around where I was and what I was doing are etched in my brain along with the event. I can tell you about a number of historic events and where I was, who was with me and what we were doing as the news came. The memories become intertwined.

First Snow
Photos: November 23, 2016
Our first snow fell, decorating the landscape with its pristine white. For at least a day the city looks cleaner before the cars churn up slush and splash it around.
Everyone hunts for snow wear and car brushes, stored carefully away last spring.
Trees take on a whole new look as each branch is outlined in white.
This first fall will no doubt melt.
The market is ready for Christmas. Trees, wreaths, decorations have moved in. The snow tries to convince everyone that holiday time is near, but it is not even December!

Last Flowers
Photo: November 20, 2016
A I write this these flowers are sprinkled with some of the snow that has fallen over our city - not a huge storm, but there is snow coverage. I'm curious to see if these flowers survive the week. It is not the snow that will get them, but the below freezing temperatures (although the thermometer has been hovering on either side of freezing). Yesterday was the end of our glorious autumn. Though the snow is not likely to last, it does herald a real change in season. The bright autumn colours have been replaced by gray and later white as winter really sets in.

Autumn Colours Fade
Photos: November 19, 2016
The last warm days for a while - and the last of the leaves are dropping quickly. In a strange way there is more intensity to the sun when it shines as there is much less shade.
A single leave glows in the late afternoon sun.
This is not a cemetery - rather it is the work of a conscientious gardener who is protecting the plants from the ravages of winter. Our weather can be tough and the splashes of slush from cars even tougher on the plants as it is full of the salt and sand that is spread on the roads. We are not there yet, but snow is around the corner.
Feeling Nostalgic
Photos: November 18, 2016
I was driving home after visiting a friend when a wave of nostalgia swept over me. I realized I was driving very close to the neighbourhood where I grew up and decided to take a slight detour. This is the house where I grew up. The window on the left was my brother's room, the one on the right was mine. I lived there until just before my last year of high school when my father decided he would love to live downtown. As it happens, the house was sold to the mother of a friend of mine. She had been widowed and was remarrying. I went back to see it once - a mistake I will not repeat. I like to keep my memories intact - I can see where every piece of furniture was. Some pieces now live with me. I like the connections.
I drove past my old elementary school - Willingdon School. It was the height of the baby boom and schools were over-crowded. This old bulding still had desks fastened to the floor when I was in grade one. Some of us had to change schools part way through the year as a new school was built. For a year and half I went to Somerled School which in turn was bursting at the seams. As we lived on the border, we were shipped back to Willingdon where I started grade three. By that time they had replaced the desks with free-standing ones - though they may as well have been nailed down as they always were kept perfectly lined up in rows. In those days there were separate entrances for the girls and the boys and the playground was also divided so the girls and boys did not play together. Fortunately times have changed.
I discovered, in researching the artist Fred Taylor ( I own a couple of his paintings) that he had a connection to the school. He had a four month summer job as a clerk while the school was being built; he had to make sure the school was being built according to the architect's specifications. He found himself in some difficult situations, but saw the job through until he returned to university. I like finding these connections.
After the Fire
Photos: November 17, 2016
This is the aftermath of a fire which caused severe damage to two restaurants as well as the other tenants of the building. I don't know how long it will take to make all repairs. The restaurants were owned by Antonio Park, who not only is a chef but has appeared as a judge on Canada's version of Chopped. They are working hard to repair the building and to clean all that was damaged by soot and water.
A number of dumpsters will be needed to clear out all the debris. Fortunately no one was hurt in this fire. It is a reminder that things can change in an instant.

Things That Catch My Eye
Photos: November 15, 2016
As I wrote yesterday, I often walk the same path - to and from the bank, to and from an activity at McGill, to and from the grocery store. Yet each time my eyes are drawn to things I may not have noticed before, or to things that were not there before. New Quebec buildings must allocate 1% of the budget to integrating public art. these leaves are by Geneviève Cadieux.
Sometimes it is more prosaic things that catch my eye - these plastic flowers that decorate a basket on a bicycle. Beautiful? Not quite - but they do make an individual statement.
I found this fallen cone amusing - was it pouring something into these bottles? Much of the work being done on our infrastructure is to replace leaking water pipes. It just seemed appropriate to think of the cone being a conduit, though the water looks more like sewage water than clean drinking water.
Our beautiful November has been good to us - warm enough to enjoy a quiet sit in the part. Take some time to enjoy the sights around you.

Autumn Continues to Surprise
Photos: November 14, 2016
I walk the same path quite often, through the nearby park and along an east/west street on my way to a variety of places. I still find surprises - a flower still blooming amidst the fallen leaves. A moment to stop and wonder.
The lack of leaves reveals new sights - a dried out nest. I wonder who lived here, which stinging insects called this home?
The trees, stripped of leaves, hang on to their fruit, a great source of food, now and into the winter.
As the flowers succumb to cooler nights, some gardeners plant ornamental cabbages to prolong the colour in their gardens.
My camera has trained my eyes to observe, to look, to notice and enriches my walks.

The Palette Changes to Bronze
Photos: November 13, 2016
It has been a most magnificent autumn with the colours lasting longer, plenty of sunny days and many days with above average temperatures. There are still trees that hang on to their leaves. With some exceptions, the yellows and reds have given way to the bronzes.
I love the crunching sound as I walk through the drying leaves. As I did as a child, the children play in the leaves - it says autumn to me.
Squirrels are feasting in the crab apple trees, fattening up before the temperatures drop and they spend more time in their dens. Now there is plenty to eat. Winter will be harder.
Night falls early. The supermoon rose on the horizon - a beautiful sight. A peaceful end to a beautiful autumn day.
Soup Season
Photo: November 12, 2016
It's that time of year when warm comfort food starts to look appealing. As the winds blow I think of soup and slowly braised meat. I was tempted by these leeks, but they will have to wait for another time. I no longer have a big freezer so have to curb my desire to cook big pots of soups to fill the freezer. I need to free up space first.

A Cold Wind
Photo: November 11, 2016
A cold, damp wind was blowing. This squirrel took refuge at the side of a tree. I trudged on, my layers of clothing and movement keeping me warm. I met neighbours who had been to the local Remembrance Day ceremony, who stood still in this cold wind to honour those who gave their lives. I think of the younger generations where the world wars are a very distant past. Although I was born after the second world war, it was still very much present in the psyche of people around me - not ancient history. Some wars, unfortunately have to be fought. Men of my father's generation and younger knew they were fighting for the dignity of all people, for the freedom that democracy afforded, for equality of all people. Have we been conscientious keepers of these values? We must not let them be eroded but continue to honour, not just those whose lives were lost, but also to honour what they were fighting for.
I learned of the death of Leonard Cohen, whose poetry and music have been part of the soundtrack of my life. His words, his lyrics, his way of life embodied dignity and respect. I honour him and the war dead with his recitation of John McCrae's, iconic war poem, In Flanders Fields.
Fresh Vegetables
Photo: November 10, 2016
It's that time of year when vegetables seem to lose their flavour. No longer can we get local crops. The vegetables travel farther to get to our plates. We do get local tomatoes, grown in hot houses, but the bulk of our produce has been trucked or flown in. Back to the guilt of a deeper carbon footprint as we try to eat healthy food. But I won't be giving up my fresh vegetables.

Searching for Beauty
Photos: November 9, 2016
I usually try not to comment on politics, especially what is happening in other countries, but waking up to the aftermath of the U.S. election I feel that I must speak out. I feel that the world as I knew it has taken a terrible turn backwards. The values of inclusion, of equality, of diversity seem to be at risk. I look at those predicted to be in that man's cabinet - not a single woman, no one of colour - no surprise after the rhetoric that has been spouted.
I'm searching for beauty in this chaos - for a place of serenity and peace.
My orchids remind me to pause and admire, to enjoy their diversity, to revel at their promise and growth. I need to cultivate my inner garden to find the strength to speak out against the ugliness being spouted. I have to try to remain positive that ultimately good triumphs over evil, but right now I am feeling that he who shall not be mentioned has cast a pall over the world. Breathe in. Breathe out. Sometimes the world takes two steps backwards before moving forward again.
O tempores, o mores
A Day of Pipes and Strings
Photos: November 8, 2016
Perhaps the title sounds unusual, but it was a day of pipes and strings, starting with walking past the inevitable road work as corroded pipes and other ancient infrastructure are slowly being replaced.
These pink pipes will soon be snaking their way under the street. I wonder what they will carry - fibre optic cable, electricity, telephone lines, water? - I don't know...
Pipes are also the organ pipes I heard in concert in the evening - and what a concert it was - organized by Geneviève Soly to raise funds for Les Idées Heureuses, an early music group which she co-founded in Montreal. It featured the Lagacé / Soly family several of whom are organ and harpsichord players. The organ was built by the late Hellmuth Wolff, who had been married to Mireille Lagacé's (the matriarch of the family) sister. I would also hazard a guess that some of the string players were using bows made by Louis Bégin, brother of Mireille. Pictured above is Bernard Lagacé, patriarch of the family with Geneviève. What an honour to hear him play again. The first movement of the 4 harpsichord (lots of strings) concerto by Bach was played by three generations of the family. In all, eight members of the family performed during the evening along with some other of Montreal's finest baroque musicians - a moving event, beautiful music. It lasted over two hours filled with Bach's music.
If only the magic of the evening had lasted and we were not met with the results of the U.S. election on reaching home.

Golden Light
Photos: November 7, 2016
In the not so late afternoon the sun is low on the horizon, casting its golden glow. Each nice day I feel compelled to be outdoors, to catch the last of the rays as the longer nights settle in.
Golden trees become more golden still, painted by the sun. This time of day - around sunrise and sunset is known as the golden hour to photographers. It is a time of almost magical light with colours saturated by the light.
I stop to enjoy the last of the flowers. Any day now a hard frost will send the last of them away - to lie dormant for the winter months. Each warm sunny day to be cherished.

Night Falls Early
Photo: November 6, 2016
I always find the changing of the clocks back to standard time a bit of a shock. Night falls so early. Although the hours of daylight have not changed appreciably, it feels as though they have with the sun setting just after 4:30. Suddenly it turns into the dark time of year with November being the gloomiest, despite the sunshine earlier in the day.

Come December, The Discovery Channel will publish a new volume boasting "10 stories based on real events" surrounding everyone's simultaneously favorite and most feared sea creature: sharks!
Published by Silver Dragon Books, this new product aims to capitalize on the popularity of Discovery Network's cult favorite Shark Week, a common staple of many childhood shark fascinations as well as college students aiming to find an excuse to drink.
USAToday notes that "In addition to Sharks, upcoming titles in 2011 will include a dinosaurs-themed story, an Animal Planet-branded book and a few other topics based on Discovery shows that are still in development." Additional preview pictures are also found at USAToday.
This is yet another indication that comics and popular culture are unmistakably linked and that your classroom – no matter what subject area or age group – will benefit from using graphic texts in any capacity.
It also means that JAWS may be on the loose again …

For me the exercise I dont see anyone else in my gym do is Wide grip upright rows,
I attribute much of my delt width to these.
if i post it........ then it would be secret would it.....
For me the exercise I dont see anyone else in my gym do is Wide grip upright rows,
I attribute much of my delt width to these.
Heres a Tri movement that I learned form a Justin Harris Clip that you should give a try. Great Pump!
One thing that really brought up my pecs, is melvin anthony's trick with a twist to it. he always had a lagging chest so he did incline db press supersetted into flat bench db press( my twist) hit out as many push ups as you can squeezing your chest at the top). This really gets the blood into your pecs and in months your chest will be inflated. Another trick i use is to squeeze my shoulder blades together during the whol exercise so when i hold the dbs for a count at the top i can really feel my pecs squeezing.
This is an exercise I invented and have never seen anyone else do. I call it the finger curl. You hold a dumbbell vertically so your hands are on either side at 3 and 9. Your four fingers should be lie flat on the underside of the top part of the weight and thumbs should be pointed out straight. Proceed to lift your fingers and push the weight up. This gives me the most unusual forearm workout ever and has clearly added mass to my pronator teres so it looks like I have a snake running across my forearm. Anyone else heard/seen/done these?
21s leg press and floor cg press and top smith shoulder press
Hard to describe. Cable Crossover Machine, but instead of using it for cable chest crossovers, you face the machine, grab the handles, bend your knees and do sort of like vertical lat pulldowns, focusing on contracting the back more than the ROM of your arms.
Great pre-exhaust exercise.
Lately it's been old school hack squats.
wrist roller for forearms
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me - Philippians 4:13
Back- 1 arm t-bar rows. It's a lot like dumbell rows but works when the dumbells in the gym don't go up high enough. Use 25 or 35 pound plates for a good ROM.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAAUAqIdKrw&feature=channel_page"]YouTube - 1 arm t bar row[/ame]
Trap Bar Rows- Just like a barbell rows, but the trap bar allows you a great ROM.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-jAMRZAD6A&feature=channel_page"]YouTube - Trap Bar Rows 225x12[/ame]
Hamstrings- Sumo RDL. Hits the hamstrings harder than a typical RDL with less stress on the low back.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce0HPOuNDWw&feature=channel_page"]YouTube - Sumo RDL w Fat Bar[/ame]
Quads- Bulgarian Split Squats with added ROM. Putting the front leg on a step makes it harder and leads to greater flexibility.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te3_5e-zgW8&feature=channel_page"]YouTube - Bulgarian split squat w/ added ROM[/ame]
I really like to try new exercises so I do a bunch of different variations.
lying pull down for triceps
reverse front raises with barbell for shoulders
I'll usually drink about 23 shots of Evan Williams on a friday night and then start to pick up random cars, break tree branches, and toss trash cans full of trash on my way to the bars. You would be surprised how sore you are in the morning not to mention the insane pump you get.
Honestly - weighted pushups. They are seriously neglected, but are a great natural movements.
one arm scott curls with a dumbbell on a preacher pad....
CAble dips, hopefully your gym has the pulleys close apart about 6 feet like mine . Sit on a bench in between the handles lean forward like a dip, push handles down like a dip. Kills your chest
Decline dumbell/barbell skull crushes
One arm power cleans with dumbell

The title of your post made me laugh out loud :) I love green, black and white together! Oh, and I am constantly wanting to change my rooms around, so 4 1/2 years is pretty good!ReplyDelete
You are singing my song, sister! I seriously have design ADD. I am constantly staring at walls plotting my next move. We painted our living room two summers ago and I'm still not feeling it. My husband thinks I'm nuts.
I pinned the same Kate Spade bathroom but couldn't get my hubs on board with the green. Maybe I can live vicariously through yours??
Great post. Perfect for the many of us who have the same affliction, lol.
Have a great weekend.
That happens to me a lot... just when I think I've finally put the finishing touch on a room, I see a new idea and want to start all over again! I think maybe being so immersed in design does that to a girl. I'm also loving that kelly green colour right now. I think it's perfect with black and white in a bathroom!ReplyDelete
I love that green. It still might need something, though. Would you try hand-painting on top? How about a stencil?ReplyDelete
I love white, black and green too! I'm thinking of this color combo for the kids' bath.
I change my mind as often as I change my underwear! The hubby is not always on board so I have to slow down sometimes.
Have a great weekend!
I like the idea of b&w with a pop of color! Calls for easy updates! :)
Champagne Lifestyle on a Beer Budget
What about doing a stencil? I think you could find some awesome ones out there with similar designs! Loving the Kelly Green... Have you seen my post today? I am all over the kelly green!ReplyDelete
I love these two bathrooms but think I lean toward the first one! And don't worry, I completely know the feeling of trying to concentrate on one room at a time - it's the hazards of working on an older house I think :) xx
Anna (My Design Ethos)
I love it when you sweet talk me! It makes my day!
And please make sure you leave an email address so we can keep the convo going.

What started out as a "quick" project. Scouring forums for design ideas and inspirations can be quite confusing. End of the day, this is what I ended up with. My attempt to dress up the curved side panels demonstrates my need for a spokeshave. Quick addition of the plane storage on the bottom also freed up some much needed space in the shop. Enjoy!

I started doing regular walks in early May. Since May 9th (when I started using Runkeeper to track them), I have done 54 walks with a total distance of 82 miles. My longest single walk was 2.34 miles on the trail behind my house. Most of the time I walk on the path at Miramar Lake which is between work and home.
Below are some photos from the lake:
Next are some photos from the trail behind my house:
And here's one showing the solar panels on my house (that I can see from part of the trail behind my house):

Some people put their Christmas tree up on the 1st of December. Some of my American friends put their Christmas tree up the day before thanksgiving. Me? I'm a twelve days before, twelve days after kinda girl. I blame my momma; she told me that was the rule.
But then I started blogging. More to the point, then I started following a million (only barely exaggerating.. you should see my emails each day!) amazing bloggers, who all seem to get in the Christmas spirit way before me. This makes me want to put my tree up too!
Rant over; I have a confession to make. Um... our tree is up! Yes, I caved. I used the excuse that we are barely home over the Christmas period, and I want to get my full 12 days in. I know, lame excuse, but I don't really care- the tree is up, the mantel is decorated (so excited to have a mantel to decorate now, I feel so grown up!) and the house smells deliciously Christmassy... mostly due to the fact that I permanently seem to have a pot of this mulled cider warming on the hob.
I love love love mulled wine, but I wanted a non alcoholic and somewhat lighter alternative that I can turn to whenever I want to warm my hands and top up my Christmas spirit. This mulled cider is just the ticket... spicy, fruity, cosy and refreshing all in one mug.
Oh, and if you do want an alcoholic version, just add a measure of rum to your mug and give it a good stir. Merry Christmas indeed!
Serves 6
1.5 litres apple juice
1 orange, sliced with skin on
6 cinnamon sticks
6 cloves
1/2 tspn ground nutmeg
1/2 tspn ground ginger
2 tblspns light brown sugar
1) Put all the ingredients in a large pot and bring to the boil over a medium heat.
2) Reduce to a gentle simmer, cover the pot and leave for about 15 minutes, giving it a stir now and again.
3) Turn off the heat and leave to sit for a few minutes before serving. Add either a cinnamon stick or a slice of orange to each glass... or both!
Now go turn on some Christmas music and get cosy.

The medicine ball throw builds explosive rotational power—essential for increasing throwing distance. Holding a medicine ball at chest level, stand next to a wall with feet shoulder-width apart. Rotate your torso 90 degrees away from the wall, then explode 180 degrees in the opposite direction and release the ball in the direction of the wall. Catch it on the rebound after it bounces, and return to the starting position. Perform 3–5 sets of 3–5 reps on days you train your upper body.

DATES July 6 - September 1, 2013
RECEPTIONFriday, July 19 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Artist's SiteSalvatore Pecoraro
Salvatore Pecoraro, 2nd Encore 13, n.d.
Salvatore Pecoraro, 2nd Encore 9, n.d.
Salvatore Pecoraro, 365 Skies 1970, 1970
Salvatore Pecoraro's career spans more than 50 years, during which time he produced major works of public and gallery art in the state. And during this time he was also one of the Bay Area's leading art educators, guiding hundreds of emerging artists in their careers. This exhibition will feature one of Pecoraro's most celebrated bodies of work, his Sky Paintings from the 1970s, along with recent work produced by the artist over the past 10 years. It is a tour de force presentation by one of our local masters.
From the artist:
Salvatore Pecoraro's career as a painter and sculptor has spanned over five decades. Born in Chicago in 1936, Pecoraro moved to the Bay Area in 1949 where his high school art teacher encouraged his talent and interest in art. He attended Oakland's prestigious California College of Arts and Crafts with other notable classmates Robert Arneson and Manuel Neri. There, he studied under Richard Diebenkorn, whose work and approach to painting influenced the young artist. After completing his MA at San Francisco State University, Pecoraro launched his art career, and continued to make waves with his development of new materials available due to the technological advancement of plastics and fluorescents, and his airbrush painting technique that gave his work the luminous realism he labored to achieve through more traditional brushwork painting. His inclination to incorporate new technologies and advance his work beyond traditional methods aligns with the overall philosophy of Silicon Valley, where the technology-oriented audience embraced him. Pecoraro lived and worked for 25 years in Silicon Valley before moving his home and studio to the Santa Cruz Mountains in 1992. He has carried out numerous public and private commissions for the likes of the IBM Corporate Headquarters, Saks Fifth Avenue, the city of Sunnyvale, Sanwa Bank California, the Ken Behring Estate and De Anza College. Widely exhibited since his earliest work, Pecoraro continues to maintain a vibrant and productive art practice today.

We offer several types of process service.
I have been providing public service for over thirty years. I am currently a private investigator, process server, and a real estate investor.

We know that food is such an important part of children's lives, providing nourishment for bodies as well as minds — it is well proven that children learn better when they have had a good meal and are not troubled by or distracted through hunger.
In Scotland, the commitment to extend free school meals to all children in Primary grades 1, 2 and 3 from January 2015 by our First Minister is significant in demonstrating the role food, nutrition and health has not just within our families and communities but also at a national level. Providing a high quality, healthy, and nutritious meal at least once a day during the school term is a welcome investment and first step towards to tackle hunger and poverty faced by far too many today.
And it does not stop there.
I am pleased to have also had the opportunity to sit on the advisory group for Better Eating, Better Learning, contributing to the new guidance soon to be published by the Scottish Government on school food. Refreshing the 2003 Hungry for Success work for a revitalised school meals service in Scotland, the new guidance will take forward a whole-school, whole-child approach by asking all those involved in education and the provision of school food to think about the value of food and food education in a number of contexts — spanning education and learning, health and wellbeing and tackling poverty and deprivation.
It is here that International School Meals Day will prove invaluable. Not only are we encouraging children to think about their own local dishes and where food comes from, but through ISMD children are being invited to tour the world with their palate, learning about different food, different cultures and different traditions.
We are delighted to be involved in this, the second annual International School Meals Day and would encourage schools not only here in Scotland but across the globe to get involved in any way they can. Through ISMD, I look forward to hearing the food stories from around the world, told through the eyes of our children.
Jackie Brock is Chief Executive of Children in Scotland.http://www.childreninscotland.org.uk/index.htm

Are you having a bad day? It's okay; many of us have had "one of those days." If you're feeling down, then it's always a good idea to try to pick yourself back up. If you're at a loss of how you can make yourself feel better, don't fret. This guide can help you in having a better day.
- Watch feel-good movies.
You know those movies that make you smile because they have a positive and happy message? Well, make sure to put one on. You'll want to surround yourself with happiness, and a feel-good movie can be just the trick.
Sometimes all you need is to pamper yourself. One easy way to do this is to go to the store and buy an EOS product of your choice, go here at amazon.ca. Their lip balm will leave your lips hydrated, moisturized, and gorgeous. There are many delicious flavors to choose from, too. One is sure to float your boat! You can also pamper yourself with one of their body and hand lotions. You can expect to feel and look good with EOS lotions. Speaking of hands, you could also go and get a manicure by going to the salon. Another idea is to take a nice warm bubble bath.

- Exercise.
Not everybody is excited over the idea of exercise, but it does release endorphins that make you feel happy. Besides, you are bound to feel productive after a good workout session. Exercise is a great cure for stress and sadness. Great blog here.
- Cuddle with your pet.
Your dog or cat knows you well enough to help you smile. If you're having a rough day, pet your dog or take him for a walk. Or you two could watch one of those feel-good movies discussed earlier together.
If you're feeling down, try using this list to help you feel better! You'll be glad you did. Get more related information here on frenchtribune.com.

Autism Researchers Collaborative (ADDIRC) Awarded $1.2 Million Grant to Study Severe Autism
Five sites of the Autism and Developmental Disorders Inpatient Research Collaborative (ADDIRC) have been awarded a $1.2 million dollar 2-year grant from the Simons Foundation and the Nancy Lurie Marks Foundation.
Dr. Siegel, a clinical scientist at the Center for Outcomes Research and Evaluation and Director of the Developmental Disorders Program, Spring Harbor Hospital, is spearheading an exciting project that aims to develop a comprehensive registry of clinical and biological data on severely affected children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The Five sites of the ADDIRC will gather data on the dimensions of expressive language ability, emotional regulation, aggression, self-injurious behavior, and intelligence, and examine the relationships among these critical factors. The project represents a partnership between MMCRI and Spring Harbor Hospital, as well as collaboration with four other clinical sites that treat patients with ASD.
Individuals severely affected by an ASD, particularly those with intellectual disability, significant expressive language impairments, and/or self-injurious behavior, have been understudied. As many as 50% of children with ASD fail to develop functional language, 30-50% have intellectual disability, and up to 55% have a lifetime incidence of self-injurious behavior. Although rigorously collected phenotypic and biological data have contributed greatly to ASD research, adequate data from severely affected individuals are lacking. This gap in our knowledge is particularly striking given that communicative and cognitive abilities are the best predictors of long-term outcomes in children with ASD. Barriers to the study of the severely affected ASD population include challenges in their recruitment and participation in outpatient research studies, limited contact of most investigators with this population, and a relative lack of validated measures for characterizing these individuals.
The five sites in the Autism and Developmental Disorders Inpatient Research Collaborative (ADDIRC) have developed a research platform for advancing the clinical assessment and treatment of patients with severe ASD. Each year, over 1000 children and adolescents with ASD and serious behavioral disturbance are admitted to the six specialized psychiatric hospital units that comprise ADDIRC. The patient population is heavily weighted toward individuals with severe ASD. This project will establish multi-site data collection procedures and test these procedures in a prospective study of 500 subjects in the ADDIRC's inpatient ASD population.
The Autism and Developmental Disorders Inpatient Research Collaborative (ADDIRC) expect to establish a research platform capable of efficient recruitment and standardized assessment of 500-1000 individuals with ASD per year. The hope is to utilize the behavioral outcome data and stakeholder process to develop and disseminate a clinical practice pathway for inpatient psychiatric treatment of individuals with autism. This will raise the standard of care in the ADDIRC units and inform best practices for psychiatry units in the U.S. and abroad.
Maine Medical Center Research Institute is very grateful to the Simons Foundation and the Nancy Lurie Marks Foundation for their generous support of this project.

Bishop McManus Statement on the Writings of Professor Tat-siong Benny Liew
by Bishop Robert J. McManus, STD
A few days ago I learned of the highly controversial writings of a local Holy Cross professor, Tat-siong Benny Liew, that cast doubts on the male sexuality of Jesus Christ based on Professor Liew's seriously flawed analysis of some texts of the Gospel of St. John. I am deeply troubled and concerned to hear that someone who holds an endowed chair in New Testament studies at the College of the Holy Cross has authored such highly offensive and blasphemous notions. Such positions have no place in the biblical scholarship of a professor who teaches at a Catholic college and who, as such, should be supportive of the college's Catholic identity and mission.
Fr. Philip Boroughs, SJ, president of the College of the Holy Cross, has stated publicly that Professor Liew "is a man of deep faith" but that "scholars are … free to push boundaries on widely accepted thought." Academic freedom certainly plays a critical role in the intellectual life of a Catholic institution of higher learning like Holy Cross. However, how that academic freedom is exercised, particularly in the fields of Theology or Religious Studies, cannot provide cover for blatantly unorthodox teaching. Clearly the biblical conclusions that Professor Liew has reached in his writings are both false and perverse. I am particularly concerned that Professor Liew's book that contains these unorthodox views is featured on display in the Religious Studies Department at Holy Cross.
The Church is the steward of her authentic Catholic faith, and Catholic institutions of higher learning have the mission to teach the normative faith of the Church in communion with the Church's authentic Magisterium. The U.S. bishops, relying on St. John Paul II's insightful document, Ex Corde Ecclesiae, ("From the Heart of the Church") about the nature and purpose of Catholic universities, have asked Catholic colleges to reaffirm their Catholic identity in all aspects of their intellectual endeavors. Central to the orthodox faith of the Church is the acceptance of Jesus Christ as fully divine and fully human that the early Fathers of the Church and the Church's Councils so clearly taught. In light of the controversy caused by Professor Liew's writings, Holy Cross has a duty to, at least, ask Professor Liew if he rejects the biblical positions he penned some ten years ago or if he supports and defends those positions today. If he disavows them, then he must state so publicly, so as not to create confusion about the nature of Christ. If he does not, then it is my duty as the Bishop of Worcester to clearly state that such teaching is a danger to the integrity of the Catholic faith and, in prudence, warn the Catholic faithful committed to my pastoral care that such unorthodox teaching has no place in a Catholic College whose mission is to promote and cultivate the Catholic intellectual tradition.
It is particularly disheartening for me to be addressing this issue during Holy Week. Our commemoration of the Easter Triduum, namely Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday, would be meaningless if we did not recognize the suffering that Jesus Christ as the God-man bore for us and that our relationship to him as Savior is the most important dimension of our Christian lives. May our hearts and minds as Christians remain focused on bringing ourselves and one another to a deeper appreciation of the Easter celebration of Christ's resurrection which is the source of hope for the world.

I will be posting challenges I give myself for the week. I like to change up my routine and so doing different challenges helps me to keep on track will keeping these new and different.
The week of Monday July 21st:
1. Do not miss 10,000 Steps for 7 Days Straight
2. 30 Minutes of Yoga – 3 Times this Week
3. One Carbohydrate a Day (ex. sandwich, pasta, pretzels)
You would be surprised how simple these rules are and how easy they are to break them. Most people do not even make 5,000 steps a day, which is direct information to why obesity is almost a novelty banner for Americans. Let me know how your weekly challenge goes so I can provide feedback!

This post covers a range of topics closely tied to the female orgasm; starting with why fake orgasms are the worst idea anyone has ever had…EVER…and continuing through the communication issues that lead to faking in the first place and how to use orgasm denial to intensify climaxes.
I'd like to take a moment to apologize for not posting any new erotica recently. I'm writing, but I've been writing submissions for a few anthologies. Hopefully, pretty soon, I'll have either acceptance letters or I'll be posting those pieces here for your amusement
Ending The Sexual Dark Age, Episode 2
Size Matters…Kinda
A lot of men obsess about cock size, and a lot of women obsess about rack size. This episode debunks a lot of common misconceptions about how much size matters in sex and sexual attraction, and the limited options you have for getting bigger.
The Taking Of Ariel
Listen to the author read this story on Ending the Sexual Dark Age, Episode 20
The tavern was dimly lit; filled with the oily smoke of lanterns and the smell of roasting meat. Business appeared to be good, and the main hall was filled with nearly a hundred people. Many soldiers returning home to Carellia were mixed in with local merchants and scoundrels. A half dozen serving wenches tended to the patrons, while the tavern's whores plied their trade in the rooms upstairs. A minstrel played in one corner, filling the room with raucous drinking songs.
Arius had come out this night for a break from his newfound responsibilities as Lord of Exodus, and he had instructed his companions to join him in dressing inconspicuously. Regardless, the lot of them were battle hardened officers and went nowhere without their blades. Half a dozen men followed Arius to an open table in the back of the tavern, where they ordered a round of bitter-but-potent Saragan ale.
Arius was uncertain his spirits could possibly be lifted, and sat quiet as his companions laughed and told stories. He had gone in a flash from the reckless heir to the lord himself, and his heart was black with the death of his father. A part of him wouldn't stop thinking that there should have been something he could have done to prevent it.
Ending The Sexual Dark Age, Episode 1
An Introduction
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Ending the Sexual Dark Age, a lighthearted yet serious podcast dedicated to the unvarnished truth about sex in the modern world. We're educated from an early age about everything we'll need to know as an adult, except for the gaping hole in that education regarding sex. Every generation is left to fend for themselves, leading us to a point at which we've launched a space station, virtually mastered the atom, and gone from the phonograph to the iPod in about a hundred years…but we still have 70% of women faking orgasms. This show aims to put a dent in that obscene statistic.
Despite what most men (and women) are led to believe, the female orgasm is far simpler than nuclear physics or mechanical engineering. This show will guide you, a step at a time, to the healthy attitude towards sex that your parents should have given you. From practical techniques to sexual philosophy, you'll learn you how to have better sex and more of it; in a friendly atmosphere that doesn't demean or coddle.
The Sexual Dark Age has been upon us for centuries, and despite the glut of sexual imagery we're bombarded with our attitudes toward sex are just as self-destructive and backwards as they were 300 years ago. In some cases we're worse off now, and this show beats back the darkness with plain, honest talk and info about how we got here in the first place; and how to reverse the lifetime of unhealthy sexual attitudes inflicted on us by a culture too ashamed to have honest, open dialog about something we're all biologically programmed to crave.
Episodes will typically be between 20 and 30 minutes in length depending on the topic, and new shows will be released every 2 or 3 weeks.

Out of Time
You once came to me
With a yearning to see
What secrets the darkness might hold.
Now passed, many moons
Since your collar was new
And my kindness has made you too bold.
The darkness is not some whimsical thing
To be banished, or tamed, or unmasked.
It has shown me the secrets in flesh such as yours
But your heart is not up to the task.

So many people say
To stop and smell the roses
Sometimes you've got to stop and
Be the rose
To rest, and feel the gentle kiss
Of time upon your brow
For every moment's over
Once it's gone

Tasha was looking forward to an erotic weekend as she stepped out of the shower. Her new roommate, Katrina, had just left to go out of town for the weekend. Tasha's newish boyfriend Marcus had the weekend off work, and had promised she wouldn't be fully dressed before Monday. On their first date he had clearly warned her that he was quite kinky, and at the time she had thought it was amazingly forward of him. In the six weeks since, she had been having fun finding out why he felt the need to give such a warning.
Thus far Marcus had repeatedly tied her up and teased her with a lot of creativity, and Tasha was having fun being told what to do. A few years earlier in college she'd had a fling with a kinky guy, and actually a kinky girl as well, but long term chemistry hadn't been there with either of them. Marcus had kept his word to take things slowly, and so far she was having the best sex of her life. This weekend Tasha had him all to herself, without Katrina around to overhear anything, and she wanted to see what it would be like to have him speed up a little.
Late for Dinner
I arrive on time to pick you up for dinner, but you're not quite ready yet. Still in your robe, you've just finished doing your hair and your makeup. As you open the door, I'm struck by how beautiful you look, all done up, but one yank of your robe from being naked. I start thinking maybe dinner can be postponed a bit.
I come in and smile as you close the door behind me, giving you a quick kiss on the lips, not speaking as I take hold of your wrists and push you back against the closed door. Bringing your wrists up to shoulder level, I pin them against the door. You begin to protest, "But what about our reserva—?," but I silence you with my lips.
The Messenger
I am the message, borne with pain
I am the instrument
Without which you shall hear no cries
And breed no discipline
I offer up my forked tongue
To punctuate your words
A lash or two will show their truth
As my caress is heard
Turn The Page »
The End
Last night the silence cried to me,
And I remembered
The lust and the pride
I'd not seen in your eyes
For so long.
Where did we go wrong?
I asked of the silence.
Was my service not enough?
Your desires too extreme?

I have tried a lot of brands from Clinique, Origins, Glam Glow, Dr Nick Lowe, Lush, VICHY, Mario Badescu naming a few faves but now and then I do like to make some home recipes. I have red pigmentation on my cheeks and naturally I have a pale face which tends to look washed out without make-up so I love using a facial fake tan to even everything out. I like to get about 2 to 3 shades darker because I personally feel the darker I am the more healthy my skin looks. My skin is very oily so I have to be careful when picking moisturisers and makeup products.
For flights I also have a different skin regime and it changes depending on the country I am. I have learnt that even oily skin needs moisture, living in England with the harsh weather we get I have to have a separate one for when I am in the UK and a separate one for when I am in Turkey or Kuwait.
Morning routine facial wash for everyday
Origins A perfect world deep cleanser, using warm water then cold
followed by oil control origins moisturiser (I love origins, I discovered it through my aunt who recommended it as we have the same skin type)
If you have sensitive skin Lather's Gentle Face Soap is also great, it calms the skin, while avocado hydrates it.
I always wait for my moisturiser to sink in before using any primer, I don't wear makeup every day but when I do I would usually apply Benefit Porefessional primer. For night time I cleans my face with Bioderm and a cotton pad after washing my face with warm water only (twice a week I will use Angels on Bare skin from Lush cosmetics, it's delicate enough to use twice a week and contains the most natural ingredients that have helped fade past acne scars and uneven skin) After I will spot treat pimples with Mario Bedescu drying lotion (it looks funny with pink dots all over my face but so worth it!) I leave this over night.
I go between Dr Nick Lowe oil control day cream and Origins Moisturiser depending on which ever is in stock. they are the BEST for oily skin!
The best way i have seen a difference my skin is when i use face masks, I use a face mask once every 3 weeks. I go between glam glow powermud mask, home made and sometimes the Montagne Jeunesse brand mask that you peel ones its dried - great for taking away dead skin.
Home Made recipe -MUST TRY!
Banana and honey face mask - I mash one banana and mix it with a table spoon of raw honey and I cut a fresh lemon in half only squeezing half into the mask. I apply this to my face with my hands, evenly. The lemon helps even and brighten skin. I leave this on for 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water followed by tapping cold water. Face masks make me feel refreshed and it's an instant boost to my skin. It's messy but effective!
My skin after 10 hours of makeup - After I applied the home remedy face mask, it was glowing because of the skin regime I used.
These are things I have tried for a while and what work best for me, if you have oily skin I highly recommend trying some of these brands!

The one thing that both lawyers and doctors have in common is that they specialize in some areas. You don't want the wrong type of lawyer any more than you would want the inferior type of doctor. The results could be disastrous. So here are few simple questions and guidelines you should follow if you are in the market to hire a disability lawyer.
Harvard Lawyers provide a much-needed service. Their work is both times consuming and requires a lot of education and knowledge. This profession has gotten a terrible name over the years due to a few bad apples along the way. For the most part, these are people just like you who perform a job they trained for many years to do.
When you talk with the lawyers you are considering, then you will want to find about things like rates they charge. You will also want to know if you will be charged a flat rate or by the hour. Talk with several about your case and find out as much as you can about them and what they may be able to do for you. Find a lawyer you feel comfortable with, and that won't cost more than you may get in a settlement.
If a lawyer only charges a percentage and only if you win then you automatically know that the lawyer will only take your case if they believe you will win. If they didn't think they would get paid, then they wouldn't waste their time working on your case.
Workers compensation suits may need a different attorney than a medical malpractice suit. Disability law may cover a lot of ground, and you need a lawyer with knowledge in the area of law you will be dealing. It all goes back to specialties. Lawyers specialize in particular fields of law, and you need to find the best one for your individual needs.
Lawyers can help from the moment you are injured. They can help with medical billing until your case settled. They may also know of certain tests that need to be done right away. If you were injured some time ago, then time could be running out for you to file a claim. If you have any reason to think you will be disabled for an extended period, then don't wait to call an attorney.

The Academy of Art University held it's 21st runway showcase on September 9, showing off the work of its best and brightest fashion designers. The Academy boasts many successful alumni so it was all eyes on their work to see if the university has another winner on their hands.
While the Academy of Art University does frequently showcase its fashion designers, the school is a school for artistry in general. Founded in San Francisco in 1929, the Academy has always emphasized passion for the arts over a bulky portfolio. They believe that any aspiring artist can become a professional with the proper instruction and skills. Some of their alumni include Rick Baker, who holds the record for most wins and nominations for the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Bilal Lashari, a filmmaker whose movie Waar holds the record for the highest-grossing Pakistani film, and Deanne Fitzmaurice, who won a Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography in 2005.
Over the years, the Academy has grown and changed with the times. It is now the largest accredited private art and design university in the country. The Academy offers degree programs in 21 areas of study and offers programs for an AA, BA, BFA, MA, M.Arch, and MFA, all accredited. To prove it's willingness to pair the dream of its creator with the changing times, the Academy offers online classes. Dozens of degrees can be completed completely online through the Academy, for those who cannot attend classes in person but still aspire to be great artists.
The designers in this runway hail from all over the globe, ranging from Qing Dao, China to Los Angeles, California. The runway is the most important fifteen minutes in the lives of these fashion designers. They present their work in front of not just their peers or even just potential career mentors, but also to the entire world thanks to live-streaming technology. It's painstaking work but luckily this year's graduates managed to impress the crowd.

My wife knew the girl was pregnant before she did. She was bedridden for several days, and my wife took her to the doctor. According to the laws of my Bible-belt state, a minor needs her parents' permission to have an abortion, but her parents can't tell her not to have a baby. She thought she wanted to keep it and swore she'd be a good mother. My wife and I -- and my oldest daughter -- freaked, and not just because of our dashed aspirations for this girl. We were too old to want to raise another baby -- and we felt sure the raising would fall to us.
Of course there was a boy involved, and he hadn't fled. He lives with his grandparents, and they asked us all to come talk. The grandfather lectured the young couple on responsibility. The boy admitted he wasn't ready to be a father. The only person in the room who wanted the baby was my daughter, but in the face of family advice, she decided she couldn't go through with the pregnancy. My wife scheduled her for an abortion.
The day before surgery, our daughter announced that she had a meeting with a guidance counselor and a county probation officer because of her truancies. She wanted her mother to go with her. Finally, it seemed, we were getting help. My wife came clean, explaining that many of her late arrivals to school had been due to morning sickness. But when she mentioned the abortion, my daughter started crying, and the officer, a woman, ordered my wife to take the girl to a counseling center.
''Like Planned Parenthood?'' the guidance counselor asked.
''No,'' she snapped. She had to go to a pregnancy center that ''tells all sides of the story.'' They drove directly to said ''counseling'' office, which turned out to be an anti-abortion propaganda center, where a counselor showed my daughter aborted fetuses on a video and talked about the after-effects of abortion -- with no mention of the complications of pregnancy. My daughter was right back on the teenage-mommy track. While the counselor went home thinking she had saved a life, we felt we had been sentenced to 18 years of hard labor.
As word spread about the pregnancy, other women called offering to tell about their own abortions. My daughter's friends, her sister, her sister's friends all counseled against having the baby, but she wouldn't listen. [Wouldn't listen or wouldn't agree to have an abortion?]We decided to stage an intervention. When my daughter came into the living room, there were 15 women waiting for her, including four mothers. They asked me to leave; I listened from the kitchen, and though I couldn't hear anything other than sobs and laughter, I could feel the gravity. But when it was over, she still hadn't decided.[Still hadn't decided or still hadn't agreed to have an abortion?]
The next week, I took her to a counseling appointment at Planned Parenthood. As I sat in the waiting room, I thought about my own sister, who had a botched abortion before it was legal. She got kicked out of college for nearly bleeding to death in a dorm room. That night when we got home and my wife asked our daughter what she was going to do, she blurted out, ''I don't have a choice.'' The next day, she turned on Saturday-morning cartoons, as if she'd decided to be a kid again.
We spent a week wondering if she'd change her mind, but she didn't. I realized later that I would have more to worry about if she had easily and immediately decided on an abortion. Ultimately, she did, but she struggled with her decision, and I hope she made the right one.
I remember being most outraged at this paragraph where he claims it was "her decision" after so many paragraphs in which she is coerced into having the abortion although she clearly does not want to have one.

Hello all!
Quick question. How do I tell FPSE to look at my external SD card for Roms? The program doesn't let me go as far up as the root, so I don't seem to be able to access the /mnt/ folder itself.
A quick bit of research suggests I can access my roms from /mnt/sdcard-ext, but given my external card mounts to /mnt/ext_sdcard, the 'External Storage' option in the linked screenshot below just doesn't recognise anything. My internal links to to /mnt/sdcard, but I just can't go any higher than that.
Is there a preference that lets me set the External directory whilst allowing me root access?
http://i.imgur.com/wyQJ9b4.jpg shows the highest in the hierarchy I can go.
For reference, I'm running Stock Android 4.2.2 on a rooted Nook HD.

Baker Brain
Do you know how when you are first learning something interesting, you keep trying it and reading about it and you may love doing it but you can't really think through and problem solve with the new information?
That's how I've been for a long time with baking. I've been experimenting with different flavor combinations and learning to make many different basic recipes. I've always had to follow a recipe and generally followed a recipe that I Googled and at the most cobbled together some recipes that I'd Googled.
And then, I caught myself. I was sitting in the car before, eating my scone for breakfast, and calculating ratios and different ways to make the scones I'd baked taste better!
Y'all. I think I have a baker's brain.
And that's wonderful news because owning a bakery is one of my dreams!

2006 BYU Cougars Basketball Preview
2006 BYU Cougars Basketball Predictions
The BYU Cougars were 20- 9 overall and 12- 4 in MWC. In one year under coach Dave Rose, they proved to be a major force, finishing tied for second place. This season, although they are improved, they'll have a rough time as they have to face tougher out-of-conference opponents than they did last year.
Point guard Rashaun Broadus (9.0 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 3.7 APG) ably directed the offense last season. If he can become a better shot, Broadus will be essential to this team's attack. Senior Jimmy Balderson (10.2 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 1.5 APG) was good but inconsistent. Getting his shot to fall and using his maturity to calmly guide the team are important to the success of the Cougars. Sophomore Lee Cummard (4.9 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 1.6 APG) and junior Austin Ainge (3.6 PPG, 1.6 RPG, 2.6 APG) add depth.
Last season, forward Kenna Young (10.3 PPG, 5.8 RPG, 1.1 APG) provided fine offense and solid rebounding, while Trent Plaisted (13.6 PPG, 6.9 RPG, 1.0 APG) put in an astounding freshman season. Swingman Vuk Ivanovic, a transfer from Seton Hall, will use his bulk, teaming up with Plaisted. Senior center Fernando Malaman (7.0 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 0.8 APG) is steady and sure in the paint.
Rose has brought in faster and bigger players via transfers and freshman recruitment. Last season under Rose, the Cougars saw marked improvement in scoring and assists, moving from 236th to 36th and 241st to 34th respectively. The primary attribute that Rose brings to the court is a passion for winning. It has proved to be contagious.
In the 1990s, BYU earned four consecutive NCAA Tournament berths. They are on the road to achieving that goal and more. Look for the Cougars to be highly competitive this season with the NCAA tourney a real possibility.

Normally the only time that the flavours of coffee and cigarettes come together are when a used mug doubles up as an ashtray for a lazy housemate. And woe betide if you accidentally try to drink that noxious cocktail - you'll feel ill for days.
But someone out there - specifically the people at Stolen Rum - has decided that that flavour combination is exactly what the drinks world needs, as they have created Coffee & Cigarettes Spiced Rum.
A spiced Caribbean rum has been fused with roasted coffee beans and smoke flavours to create something that is - definitely - unique. At least it is a timesaver, getting in three vices - caffeine, nicotine and alcohol - in one bottle, so it's got that going for it.
It's currently only available via stockists in USA, Australia and New Zealand; visit Stolen Rum for a full list.

So it's been on the cooler side up here and I was wanting something warm, and I'm always a sucker for bread. So I found this recipe and it looked good to me, but I wanted to lighten it up a bit. So this is what I came up with, and if I do say so myself, the muffins turned out yummy! Even my 2 yr old loves them!
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 sticks butter, softened
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 large eggs (I used egg substitute)
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest (I used 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract) optional
4 mashed ripe banana
3 tablespoons sour cream (I used light)
3/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts (Did not use) optional
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Preheat oven 350. Into a bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt. In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter with the sugar, applesauce, beat in the vanilla, the eggs, the zest, the banana, and the sour cream. Add the flour mixture, beat the batter until it is just combined, and stir in the macadamia nuts and the coconut. Pour the batter into greased muffin tin, Bake 15-18 mins or bread pan, Bake 40-50 mins
*I got 24 muffins out of the batter, and just FYI- each muffin about 155 calories- not bad for a tasty treat!!!

Long Island College Hospital will shutter its rape crisis intervention program on June 30, a hospital official confirmed this week.
The cash-strapped Cobble Hill hospital said it instead intends to focus on what it does best: the delivery of primary care to rape victims through its emergency department.
Hospital spokesperson Zipporah Dvash said administrators evaluated the Rape Crisis Intervention/Victims of Violence Program, "and saw there was a duplication of services with other agencies that deliver the same type of service."
"We determined we weren't doing it as well as other agencies," she added.
The program was mostly grant funded, Dvash said.
"There are all kinds of city agencies that have more experience with this—and they do it better," she continued. "I don't think there is a value to keeping it open for the sake of keeping it open."
The program, run in coordination with the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault, the Criminal Justice Coordinator's Office, and the Kings County District Attorney Office, offered a range of social services, including menatl health and housing referrals. It has been run out of the hosital, 339 Hicks Street, for the past 20 years.
Dvash said 99 percent of those using the program did not come through LICH's emergency room.
"So we had no idea about their medical records, and we thought the victims would be better served elsewhere," she noted.
Reaction to the program's closing, first posted on the Cobble Hill Association's blog, was swift.
"It is unacceptable that our community is losing this vital service for women who have been victims of rape," said City Councilmember Bill de Blasio.
"I am calling on LICH to immediately reverse this decision and reinstate the Rape Crisis Intervention program. We should be focused on providing better, additional services in our neighborhoods, not cutting them," the city lawmaker said.
Dvash responded: "The councilman is somewhat misinformed as to what is closing and what is not."
"We retain our status as a rape crisis receiving unit of the first degree," she added.
LICH doctors and other staffers recently filed a complaint with the state Department of Health to end the insititution's affiliation with Continuum health Partners, which manages the hospital. It has been reported that the hospital has a projected loss of $35 million in 2008.
Harriet Lessel, executive director of the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault, said LICH's program had been a resource to the entire borough, and its discontinuation will have a lasting effect.
"They were the oldest and largest rape crisis program in the borough. When they started, they were the only one."
Lessel's Manhattan-based group aims to end sexual violence and ensure that victims receive the best possible care.
She said follow-up services for rape victims are a critical component to recovery.
"People are traumatized after a sexual assault, and being able to talk to someone about what you are going through—whether acute post traumatic stress disorder or post traumatic stress disorder—it makes a huge difference," Lessel said.
"We know that rape…it turns somebody's world upside down," she added.
