Otitis media with effusion (OME) is when there is thick or sticky fluid behind the eardrum in the middle ear, but there is no ear infection .
OME; Secretory otitis media; Serous otitis media; Silent otitis media; Silent ear infection; Glue ear
The Eustachian tube connects the inside of the ear to the back of the throat. This tube helps drain fluids to prevent them from building up in the ear. The fluids drain from the tube and are swallowed.
Otitis media with effusion (OME) and ear infections are connected in two ways:
The following can cause swelling of the lining of the Eustachian tube, leading to increased fluid:
The following can cause the Eustachian tube to close or become blocked:
Getting water in a baby's ears will not lead to a blocked tube.
OME is most common in winter or early spring, but it can occur at any time of year. It can affect people of any age, although it occurs most often in children under age 2. (It is rare in newborns.)
Younger children get OME more often than older children or adults for several reasons:
The fluid in OME is often thin and watery. It used to be thought that the longer the fluid was present, the thicker it became. ("Glue ear" is a common name given to OME with thick fluid.) However, it is now believed that the thickness of the fluid has more to do with the particular ear than with how long the fluid is present.
Unlike children with an ear infection, children with OME do not act sick.
OME often does not have obvious symptoms.
Older children and adults often complain of muffled hearing or a sense of fullness in the ear. Younger children may turn up the television volume because of hearing loss.
The doctor or nurse may find OME while checking your child's ears after an ear infection has been treated.
The doctor or nurse will look for certain changes when examining the eardrum:
A test called tympanometry is a more accurate tool for diagnosing OME. The results of this test can help tell the amount and thickness of the fluid.
An acoustic otoscope or reflectometer is a more portable device that accurately detects the presence of fluid in the middle ear.
An audiometer or some other type of formal hearing test may help the health care provider decide what treatment is needed.
Unless there are also signs of an infection, most health care providers will not treat OME at first. Instead, they will recheck the problem in 2 - 3 months.
Some children who have had repeat ear infections may receive a smaller, daily dose of antibiotics to prevent new infections.
Certain changes may help clear up the fluid behind the eardrum:
Most often the fluid will clear on its own. You doctor may suggest waiting and watching to see if the condition worsens.
If the fluid is still present after 6 weeks, treatment might include:
If the fluid is still present at 8 - 12 weeks, antibiotics may be tried, although they are not always helpful.
At some point, the child's hearing should be tested.
If there is significant hearing loss (> 20 decibels), antibiotics or ear tubes might be appropriate.
If the fluid is still present after 4 - 6 months, tubes are probably needed, even if there is no significant hearing loss.
Sometimes the adenoids must be removed to restore proper functioning of the Eustachian tube.
Otitis media with effusion usually goes away on its own over a few weeks or months. Treatment may speed up this process. Glue ear may not clear as quickly as OME with a thinner effusion.
OME is usually not life threatening. Most children do not have long-term damage to their hearing or speaking ability, even when the fluid remains for many months.
Call your health care provider if:
Helping your child reduce the risk of ear infections can help prevent OME.

Psoriasis is a common skin condition that causes skin redness and irritation. Most people with psoriasis have thick, red skin with flaky, silver-white patches called scales .
Plaque psoriasis
Psoriasis is very common. Anyone can get it, but it most often begins between ages 15 and 35.
You cannot catch psoriasis or spread it to others.
Psoriasis seems to be passed down through families. Doctors think it may be an autoimmune condition . This occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and inflames or destroys healthy body tissue.
Normal skin cells grow deep in the skin and rise to the surface about once a month. When you have psoriasis, this process takes place too fast. Dead skin cells build up on the skin's surface.
The following may trigger an attack of psoriasis or make the condition harder to treat:
Psoriasis may be worse in people who have a weak immune system. This may be due to:
Some people with psoriasis may also have arthritis (psoriatic arthritis ).
Psoriasis can appear suddenly or slowly. Many times, it goes away and then comes back.
The main symptom of the condition is irritated, red, flaky patches of skin. Patches are most often seen on the elbows, knees, and middle of the body. But they can appear anywhere, including on the scalp.
The skin may be:
Other symptoms may include:
There are five main types of psoriasis:
Your doctor or nurse can very often diagnose this condition by looking at your skin.
Sometimes, a skin biopsy is done to rule out other possible conditions. If you have joint pain, your doctor may order x-rays.
The goal of treatment is to control your symptoms and prevent infection.
Three treatment options are available:
Most of the time, psoriasis is treated with medicines that are placed directly on the skin or scalp. These may include:
If you have very severe psoriasis, your doctor will likely recommend medicines that suppress the immune system's faulty response. These medicines include methotrexate or cyclosporine. Retinoids such as acitretin can also be used.
Newer drugs called biologics are used when other treatments do not work. Biologics approved for the treatment of psoriasis include:
Some people may choose to have phototherapy.
If you have an infection, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics.
Follow these tips at home:
Some people may benefit from a psoriasis support group .
Psoriasis is a life-long condition that can be controlled with treatment. It may go away for a long time and then return. With proper treatment it will not affect your overall health. Some people with psoriasis have a type of arthritis .
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of psoriasis or if the skin irritation continues despite treatment.
Tell your doctor if you have joint pain or fever with your psoriasis attacks.
If you have symptoms of arthritis, talk to your dermatologist or rheumatologist.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you have a severe outbreak that covers all or most of your body.
There is no known way to prevent psoriasis. Keeping the skin clean and moist and avoiding your specific psoriasis triggers may help reduce the number of flare-ups.
Doctors recommend daily baths or showers for persons with psoriasis. Avoid scrubbing too hard, because this can irritate the skin and trigger an attack.

Yesterday, after a full day of working in the library (as you may have read about) and class that only allowed me to return home around 6 PM, I had some options: either I could throw something cheap into the microwave and lie down for the rest of the evening-thus succumbing to my exhaustion-or I could do something totally rad.
I opted for the latter.
I immediately set about cooking some rice, throwing frozen Edamame into a pot, and chopping up various vegetables and chicken. What I ended up with was a feast: fried rice with chicken, carrots, bell pepper, corn, and chicken served next to Edamame and a glass of iced green tea. Needless to say, I'll be having plenty of leftovers for a while.
It also represents a struggle of most students: when should you take time to relax? If one takes their studies seriously, there would easily be enough work to consumer the hours between rising and going to sleep. In this case, I felt my day had been relatively accomplished so I didn't feel bad throwing 2 hours into the preparation, consumption, and cleaning of the meal.

I grew up with these bunch of fairies,They have sidelined katy Perry..?? I will never watch their show again..or u know what i mean..
The_Joker wrote:Oh for God's sake Sesame Street!!!
the little tikes of today are exposed to war on the news, footballers (Australian Rugby League) and their bad behavior, Crime etc the list is near endless and the Video Clip is "Pulled" because Elmo is seen running around the legs of Katy Perry's dress which shows .. wait for it her hemline. As she sings the lyrics like, "How am I supposed to play with you?/You're up and you're down/You're running around/You're fast and you're slow/You're stop and you're go."
I think the littlies would be looking more at Elmo than Katy Perry's legs or hemline.
The Producers assume the kids have dirty minds because they do, why else you they "Pull" the Vid based on the assumption that the Video is too provocative and suggestive.
Well, it might be if you were my age (50) and had a thing for 26 year old singers.
How many 50 year olds watch Sesame Street??

This is a VINTAGE 230mm suji/petty, made by Landers, Frary and Clark, who were the biggest American cutlery manufacturers in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The style of this knife is the same as a Nogent Sab, but is made in the USA. It could be anywhere from over 100 to about 70 years old, but without proof either way, I'll just say it's old and awesome!
I sharpened it up, after tweaking the edge profile and fixing the finger guard, and it's a surprisingly wear resistant old carbon. It gets nice and sharp, and is now toothy/3 finger test sharp, and only brought up to 1k and stropped on cardboard.
The knife is 230mm, with a heel height of 36mm. Spine at the heel is 2.5mm, there is a wicked distal taper and it drops to virtually nothing at the tip. As a result, this blade does have a fair bit of flex. It is the perfect knife for meat fabrication, and would excel at removing silver skin and slicing steaks out of loins.
Here are the pics:
There is a crack on the one side of the handle, but it doesn't go all the way through, as the handle is peened at the end, or has a full length rat tail tang.
Price for this wonderful antique knife is $65 all in (Worldwide).
Thanks, guys!

The College News r VOL. XIX. No. 12 BRYN MAWR AND WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1933 Copyright BRYN MAWR COLLKOK NKWS, 1933 PRICE 10 CENTS World Contact Causes China's Difficulties John MacMurray Conducted Meeting of International Relations Club CHINA IS NOT ANARCHY � News Tryouts The College News announces that competition is now open for positions on the Editorial Board. Junioflrs, Sophomores, and Freshmen are urged to try out. Those wishing to compete should see Sallie Jones, Pern West 8-12, on either Thursday or Monday. Mr. John V. A. MacMurray, for- mer DV S. Minister to China, and now a professor at Johns Hopkins University, conducted the first meet- ing of the new International Rela- tions Club in the Music Room, Feb- ruary 11. Taking "China As a Po- litical Entity" as the subject of his address, he pointed out the difficulty which a people traditionally averse to vigorous government have naturally encountered when suddenly ^aced with the necessity of taking their place in the modern family of na- tions. China, as the oldest extant civili- zation, Mr. MacMurray said, has pro. duced one of the most fascinating and compelling of world cultures. The mass of the people, living close to the soil, show an adaptability and pre- eminently human quality which has enabled them to survive through thou- sands of years with little or no change in their ideas. One of the constants of their traditional civili- zation is a peculiar attitude toward government as a nuisance which had to be tolerated for the preservatior* of order. The Emperor was not an Oriental potentate, but jnerely a cere- monial officer whose meagre power was limited by passive resistance and frequent rebellion. This spirit of philosophic anarchy was possible in China while she re- mained isolated, but her sudden con- tact with the greater material wealth and power of the Western world has abruptly opposed contrasted Occiden- tal activism with Oriental passivity, Western social coherence, with Chi- nese individualism. The Chinese in- stinctively resisted change so stub- bornly that the determination of the effete Ching dynasty to foster the process of modernization proved its downfall in 1911. At the time of this revolution, Chinese students who had been educated in America attempted to set up a republic, but such a form of government, of course, only sue ceeds with a people which has been trained for generations in the re- sponsibilities of a democracy. The first result of the upheaval was there- fore the emergence of a dictator� Yoan Shih-Kai. When he disappear- ed from the scene, only a military system remained. For twenty odd years, Chinese political history has been merely the story of the selfish rivalry of military leaders seeking power. Some significant development can, (Continued on fage Pour) Shaw Comedy to be , Dramat's Spring Play Easter Mystery to be Given Out- of-Doors is Next Offer- ing of Players PRINCETON MAY ASSIST CALENDAR Thursday, February 23: Mrs. George Gilhorn will speak on Women in Politics.

The outline of the spring plans of both the Varsity Players and the Varsity Dramatics Board has been settled tentatively, pending confirma tion from the Dean's and the Presi- dent's offices, as to dates and choice of plays. The Players intend to pro- duce only one more play------probably an Easter Mystery from one of the old English cycles. This will be done under the direction of Miss Evelyn Thompson and Miss Eleanor Eck- stein, with the assistance of Dr. Enid Glen, of the English department. It is hoped that the play can be done out-of-doors, either on Merion Com- mon or in the cloisters, and that it can be done with many folk-dance.- and entreaet divertissements, as the plays were done originally. The Players have felt that the coming ot the French Club play and the Fresh- man Show so close upon each other in March left very little time for one- act plays. They have consequently decided upon this rather ambitious piece of work as their sole offering for tfie rest of the year, and set the date for it sometime in the last week before spring vacation. Miss Thomas Speaks for Summer School School Especially Needed This Year as Relief of Un- employment MUST FACE EXPENSES The Dramatic Board has set as the date for their big spring play, the twenty-first and twenty-second of April. The play this year will prob- ably be a Shaw comedy, but the act- ual play has not yet been chosen. Heartbreak House and You Never Can Tell have been discussed as pos- sibilities and it is likely that the choice lies between the two. It is hoped that the male parts will be taken by individual actors from Princeton's Theatre Intime, although there is to be no formal connection with that organization. Here again the "details have not yet been made definite, and will probably not be set- tled until ''the play has been finally chosen. One novel feature of the or- ganization of this particular play is that for the first time in any play, a class is to be given preference in the casting and the appointing of production chairmen. Due to the fact that the last undertaking of the year is planned for Garden Party night, when it is hoped that a Greek trag- edy will be done outside of Good- hart in the natural amphitheatre, and the fact that this play will havt to be done exclusively by underclass- men, it is planned to give seniors preference in the April play. The project of the Greek tragedy is again a most ambitious one, and the plans are still vague. It will have to be done by the three lower classes, because the confusion of graduation week would interfere too much if seniors were taking part. It will be done under the direction of Miss Carrie Schwab and Miss Janet Barber. Mrs. William Flexner, di- rector of the Royal Family, has con- sented to direct the Shaw play, and possibly to help with the last play as well. The choice of the Greek play lies at present betwen the Alcestes and Iphigenia ami Taurus. The only definite plans that have been made are about the production end of it, for it is pretty well determined^ that it- is to be done at night, or in the twilight, in the natural amphithe- atre. with the stone walls of Good- hart as a background. On Sunday evening in the Common Room a very interesting meeting was held to explain to students the in- spiration, aims, and achievements of the Bryn Mawr Summer School. The speakers were President Emeritus M. Carey Thomas, Mrs. Stokes, chairman of the Summer School Committee, and two alumnae of the Summer School. - It was a great privilege for the students who have had no opportun- ity to meet Miss Thomas since she re- tired from the presidency of the col- lege to hear her speak on the Sum- mer School, which grew purely from her idea. In the summer of 1921 Bryn Mawr opened her halls for eight weeks of classes in which in- dustrial women might obtain the same type of education as do the students of the regular college. This was the first attempt of its kind ever made by any American college or univer- sity. This year the Summer School faces a depression more serious than any which has occurred in former years, because it extends to all countries of the world. Because of this very rea- son such an effort as the Summer School needs more help than ever be- fore. Thirty-seven and a half mil- lions of people are without sufficient food and clothing. Through a south- ern school for industrial women an appeal has reached us from unem- ployed workers for books to read in the free time which they now find on their hands. Two hundred dollars is the cost ;of eight weeks' teaching for each student, not including trav- �ling expenses. The $20,000 must be mot, and those who have, ever been associated with the Summer School will agree that nowhere will support be more amply repaid. One cannot help being inspired by the enthusi- asm and the mental training which re- sult from having to hold down a job. Considering that approximately nine-tenths of our population are workers it seems as though they should have as good education as the one-tenth who do not work. Haphaz- ard living is no longer economically possible; from now on the world will have to be planned. The present gen- eration will have to legalize birth- control, assure equal opportunities, and abolish sheer profits. The old or- der of living has decayed; it is up to us to save what is worth while and to establish a "new order of co-opera- tion and friendship." When there is a closer relationship between indus- try and those "who do not.always do much work," it will be a happier world. In conclusion, Miss Thomas told the story_Q&bow the idea of the Sum- mer School first came to her. Watch- ing the sunset one night in the Al- gerian desert she had a vision of how empty the Bryn Mawr campus must be and how she would like to have it filled in the summer with indus- trial women. Unlike most visions, everyone approved of it, and the Bryn Mawr Summer School came into being. President Park then-reminded us that a week after the undergraduates leave the campus is filled again. The summer students have many privi- (Contlnued on Pane Four) Industrial Problems Discussed in Goodhart Child Labor and Occupational Diseases Are Main Topics of Conference NEED RAPID LEGISLATION Victoria Sackville-West Noted British author, who ivill speak on James Joyce and D.

Sackville-West to Talk on Joyce and Lawrence Fashion Show On Thursday, March 2, Saks- Fifth Avenue will hold a fash- ion show of spring clothes in the Common Room from two to six. The clothes will be mod- eled by undergraduates, and or- ders will be taken for immedi ate delivery. The top price is to be twenty-five dollars on all models. The Honorable V. Sackville-West j comes as^a lecturer to Bryn Mawri this week with a literary, political, j and social background well qualify-1 ing her to discuss James Joyce and D. H. Lawrence in "the light of the modern literary spirit. She is associated with the Blooms-j bu.y groups, literary gatherings cen- j tenng about Virginia and Leonard Woolf and the Hogarth Press, and in- cluding Rebecca West, the Sitwells, Lytton Strachey, and E. M. Forster. Hugh Walpole has compared her poetry to that, of gdith Sitwell and her most famous and most English poem, The Land, to Maurice Hew- lett's The Sona of the Plough. "She has done everything in her life . . . simply becaQse she thought it would be a delightful thing to do," and this spirit makes her work essentially ro- mantic and yet unsentimental and real. It is as she herself has written in The Future of the- Novel, an essay published in the Bookman: "Real- ism itself has turned into a school- boy's irreverent gesture rather appre- hensively made under the nose of a censor;" but again, she has defined the "proper function of fiction" to be "the delineation of life as we know it." She is an intimate friend of Virginia Woolf, and is recognized as, the heroine of the latter's Orlando She was born in 1892 at Knole Castle, the ancestral estate in Kent, which was a gift of Queen Elizabeth to her Lord Treasurer, Thomas Sack- ville; and she grew up in the atmo-' sphere of overstuffed, pompous Ed- wardian aristocracy. She first estab- lished her reputation as a poet in 1926 with the publication of The, Land, the poem which was awarded the Hawthornden Prize in 1927, a lyr- ical tribute to the English country- side and the English peasant. But it is her intimacy with and un- derstanding of the butterfly age be- fore the war, when Edward was king, combined with the largeness of view she has gained from her extensive traveling in Europe and in the East �to Persia, Hungary, Ecuador, Bul- garia, and Morocco�that have dis- tinguished her as a novelist, that give The Eihcuidit'iix the charm of a pene- trating treatment, finely satirical and realistic. The poetry of The Edivurd- ians lies in Chevron, the old house, the romantic history is inherent in the spirit of the period, and the wit i< the mature amusement of a modern and a cosmopolitan Englishwoman. Her other most important book, All Passion Spent, may be compared with The Ednardiuns, not only as a dis- tinguished novel, but as a work of beauty, a "witty and lucid excursion into detachment." The Honorable V. Sackville-West is also the author of Family History, Stthutn in Ecuador, Twelve Days, King's Daug'nterx, and an historical study of the family house, Knole and the Sacki-illes. Again, Hugh Walpole: "Here, at any rate, is a most interesting figure, someone who is gracious, humorous, and always a creator." Friday afternoon a conference was held in the Auditorium ot Goodhart on the Standards and Security of Employment in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The aims and back- ground of the assembled groups were set forth in the introductory speech of the chairman, Mr. John Phillips, president of the Pennsylvania Fed- eration of Labor. "It is pretty gen- erally accepted that many of the dif- ficulties confronting the people at large, and acutely affecting the work- ers of this Commonwealth in particu- lar, can be remedied by proper legis- lation. Secondly, there is now an in- creased public interest in public mat- ters. And lastly, most of the legis- lators are disposed to meet the mat- ter in a constructive way, although we are still confronted by the Bour- bon, and much influence must be. brought to bear to offset the reac- tionary forces." Miss Beatrice McConnell, Director of the Bureau of Women and Chil- dren of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, was the first speaker. Significant facts and trends of Child Labor in the State were ad- duced by her as an "indication of the importance of Child Labor today and as showing that the problem is not being eliminated by the depression and consequent cutting of wages and the number of employed, but rather intensified." The general opinion is that the number of employed children has dropped to almost nothing. That, unfortunately, is a false impression, which is contradicted by the fact that the number of work certificates requested by children withdrawing from Pennsylvania schools has swell- ed. It has been imposible to make a wide survey because of the cut in State appropriations for this work; but the reduction of employed chil- dren is only proportional to the re- duction of adult' employed. There has been a change in the type of work offered the child. Street- trading, which entails juvenile de- linquency, is rampant, especially in the larger cities. Domestic service, unregulated by the Child Labor Law,. has risen. And last, but not least, industrial homework, usually done under high pressure, spasmodically, is common under the present depres- sion system of manufacturing as the orders come in. "The loss to our children today can- not be made up tomorrow. The re- sults of ^recreation, good food, and education are lost today and lost for- ever." Miss McConnell's sujrK<'."-tions for curing the problem of Child La- bor were the adoption of a minimum wage and age as well as the maxi- mum number of hours, which is now in fdrce.' The next speaker on the progranv was Dr. Alice Hamilton, Assistant Professor of Industrial Medicine at the Harvard Medical School, talking on "Occupational Disease With Spe- cial Reference to Children." She pro- pounded the question, "What sort of child asks for working papers at the age of fourteen? By and large, he or she is the child of the very poor' in a household where there has never been enough -of physical or spiritual comfort. He is handicapped already and usually has a damaged heart or tuberculo.-i-." However, children are not often found in poisonous trades in this country, except in .printers' shops, where they contract lead-poisoning. This is certainly an evil, but small when compared to the harm done to working adults. Dr. Hamilton said that she would change her subject from that of children to the more general subject of Occupationaf Bis- ease in Industry as a whole. In prov- (Contlnued on Page Three) A

Letters to the Editor - Feb. 4, 2013
Monday, February 4, 2013 Moses and NRA
To the editor: I watched, as a young boy, legendary actor Charlton Heston portray Moses, the Biblical hero and deliverer of my people from a life of bondage in Egypt, in the Hollywood classic, "The Ten Commandments." Moses sacrificed Pharaohdom and the companionship of the beautiful Princess Nefertari, crossed a desert, climbed a mountain, and parted a sea in order to obtain freedom for the Hebrew slaves. Heston played numerous roles, but I always associated him with the man who courageously declared, "Pharaoh, let my people go."
The powerful NRA needs to practice intellectual honesty with America. I challenge them to take full advantage of Superbowl Sunday, the nation's largest stage, to run a reenactment of Heston's speech. If the organization wants to be honest and remain relevant in the conversation about the 2nd Amendment, I recommend modernizing the reenactment by: Replacing Heston with NRA Executive Wayne LaPierre, who will address President Obama and VP Biden; and by swapping the single shot Sharps Rifle for an AK-47, the preferred weapon of our former Cold War adversaries.

And why didn't you?
The difference is that "You Guys" are people that have not expressed an undying devotion to Obama. "You Guys" are made up of people here that criticized Obama since before the election. "You Guys" are intelligent enough to know that the only difference between the parties in DC is the methods in which they choose to F'k things up.
On the other hand, people like YOU spent 8 fricken years telling everyone that it was treasonous and unamerican to question or criticize the president. YOUR standards of what a good American is changes based on what party happens to be in office.
Have a peachy evening

Final Halloweegan, Stuffed Jack-O'-Lanterns, and Frankie Cakes
Luckily, before the ghost escaped, I managed to make stuffed Jack-O'-Lanterns for my guest post on Go Dairy Free! YAY! Alisa was so kind to ask me if I wanted to be a guest blogger, and I am beyond honored to have been one of the chosen ones! Go Dairy Free is overflowing with information about moo-juice-free living and I am most flattered to be able to contribute a little som'n som'n to Alisa's awesome site. Here's a picture of the spooky squash, check out the recipe at Go Dairy Free!
And now here's my latest *fail*
OK, so it doesn't look incredibly horrible, but this is not what I wanted to do with them! Frankie seemed to be the most popular felt coaster, so I wanted to do some little Frankie cakes that would look similar to the coaster. Well, that didn't work. They were supposed to have purple facial features and hair, but frozen blueberries from a berry-mix do not make blue food coloring. Nope. It's pink. A pink Frankie? No! Do. Not. Want! Anyway, after I realized that the frosting wasn't going to work out, I decided to decorate the faces with melted chocolate. Can you tell I put zero effort into them? Meh.
In case you're wondering, the cake is green because it has baby spinach in it. Don't gag. It doesn't taste like a salad, it tastes like yummy cake! The cake is the basic vanilla cupcake recipe from VCTOTW, baked in an 8 inch square pan for 28 minutes. To make it green, I blended a handful of raw baby spinach with the milk before I added the apple cider vinegar. Also, I added a couple of teaspoons of lemon zest, which played a trick on Mr. Wing-It's mind and made him think the cake was lime flavored, because it was green! Mwahahaha! :D
You can check out all my Halloweegan goodies from this year and also from Halloweegans past here. And if you want to add your own goodies to the Halloweegan flickr group, go for it!
Now that I am all done with my Halloweegan assignment, I am ready for YOU to do the cooking for me! Bring on Vegan MoFo! This year I am going to leave my dinners, desserts, and snacks up to you, so I will lurk around your blogs like a creepy, hungry stalker looking for recipes that are quick and easy. Halloweegan was a lot of work! I want to sit back and enjoy someone else's work now! *Lazeh*
Have you signed up for Vegan MoFo yet? I hear that about elebenty billion bloggers have registered already. And have you checked out the confirmed list of speakers @ Vida Vegan Con? I think University Place Hotel is going to explode with awesomeness!
Happy Halloweegan! *POOF*
(Sorry, I had to disable comments on this post because the spammers are obsessed with it)

My memory of my only attempt at stuffed pumpkin, though very old, is still too horrific for me to ever make another, but if I did, yours sounds hallowicious!
Perhaps there should be two mofo sign-up lists — writers and readers/commenters. Seriously, it's hard enough to crank out one or two posts a week and keep up with other blogs; four posts plus reading and commenting will be intense.
Spinach-lime cake is on my to-do list. It's right up there with p-nut butter and broccoli sandwiches. (But the cake sounds good!)I'm SOOOOOO envious of everyone going to Vida Vegan! And gee, they never asked me to be a speaker, either. . . ;)
I love the look of the green cake--though I have no idea who Frankie is (I can hear the gasps right now), so to me it just looks cute. And a guest post--how great! I'm off to check it out (little *poof*)!

Digital Camera Buyers Guide
As digital cameras become increasingly their popular features and capabilities become more advanced and varied. The broad range of technical specifications makes it important for you to choose a camera that is best suited for your needs. Digital cameras provide you with the ability to preview, edit, correct, and save pictures, then send and print images using your computer. While digital cameras tend to cost more than conventional cameras, they save you the cost of film and processing. Here is a guide to help you understand important features to look for when shopping for a digital camera.
The resolution of your camera provides sharpness, contrast and color fidelity.
This chart shows how many megapixels are recommended for intended uses.
Return to Top
The memory of a digital camera determines the number of pictures and the resolution and picture quality capability. If you intend to take a lot of large, professional quality high-resolution pictures, you'll need a larger memory source. If all you want to do is take standard pictures to download to your computer, you'll only need small amounts of memory.
Internal Memory: Cameras store images in a non-removable chip that is integrated into the design.
External Memory: Can come in the form of a disc, card, memory stick, etc and can be used to expand your camera's memory. Here are some examples of forms of external memory.
Though there is no fixed number of exposures per memory card here is a table to provide you with a rough estimate:
This reduces the amount of memory needed to store images.
Digital cameras can be used with personal computers to display, edit, save, and send images. Today, you have several options to connect to your computer. Make sure your system can support the connection methods your camera offers.
Connection Methods
Most digital cameras have lenses with equivalent focal lengths to conventional 35mm-camera lenses. The standard lens generally captures what is considered a normal field of view of the closest approximation to the range of view you get from your eyes. Some lenses can also offer wide-angle, telephoto and zoom capabilities. If you require more viewing capabilities than the basic lens offers, consider these features:
One of the most convenient features of a digital camera, this allows you to preview pictures on a small screen integrated into the camera.
Movie Mode:
Many cameras offer the ability to record short movies
Extra Features to Look For:
Choosing a Camera to Fit Your Needs:
Now that you know what features to look for, choose a camera that best fits your intended use. Here are some basic tips to help out:

As you're admiring this picture I know what you're thinking. "Sure those are some great notions, but what is that wonderful vintage fabric underneath them??"
Well, let me show you what my wonderful mother-in-law sent me. Vintage sheets! Not only was I excited to receive such beauties, but I was so touched by the personalized gift. I am quite sure no one else on her shopping list wanted old, thrift-store bed sheets. But she knew that I did and she spent the time to track some beauties down and send them all the way from Maryland just for me!
(Sorry you can't see more.
I had to preserve it's authenticity - I didn't even want to unfold it all the way.)
The nice thing about no one else really being as excited about this particular gift
is that no one in my family has tried to steal them (unlike my chocolate orange which my
8-year-old ate with out telling me. But my nice husband let me have his, so I'm okay.)
Thank you again Rosemary!

Power's Initial Quality Study, 108 to 109 PP100 (problems per-100 vehicles within 90 days of purchase). Ford cracked the IQS top five for the first time, and Lincoln had 23 fewer problems per 100 vehicles than it did last year. Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac all … Read More

5/13/13 LiLo Wants to Leave Rehab
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, May 13, 2013
Lately it's been looking a lot like SELENA GOMEZ is back with JUSTIN BIEBER. But maybe that's not true. In a recent interview, Selena was asked if she's, quote, "Completely available in every way." And she said yes. Twice.
This may just be a publicity stunt to hype her sex video, but "Teen Mom" skank FARRAH ABRAHAM was spotted at a pharmacy buying a pregnancy test.
KANYE WEST ran headfirst into a sign because he was looking down while walking in order to avoid having his picture taken by the paparazzi. He ended up going BALLISTIC on a photographer, saying, quote, "Don't take [a effing] 'nother photo, man! Don't take another [effing] photo man! Don't take no photos! Stop it! All of you mother[effers] stop it, man!"
BARBARA WALTERS is retiring next summer. She'll announce it officially today on "The View", but she already released a statement saying, quote, "I do not want to appear on another program or climb another mountain. I want instead to sit on a sunny field and admire the very gifted women . . . and OK, some men too . . . who will be taking my place."
JUSTIN BIEBER posted a picture of himself and a friend drinking beer. Now, Justin is 19 years old . . . but the picture was taken in South Africa, where he's currently on tour, and where the drinking age is 18. So it's all good.
Sources say LINDSAY LOHAN wants to leave Betty Ford because they took away her Adderall. Supposedly, the clinic's doctors assessed her and decided she doesn't need it, and so she wants out. But supposedly, her judge has said that if she pulls any more rehab shenanigans, she's going to jail.
5/10/13 Lilo's Parents to Go to Therepy
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, May 10, 2013
Now we can look at "Maxim" magazine as a joke. The mag released the complete Hot 100 yesterday, and LENNAY KEKUA is on it, at #69. If that name doesn't ring a bell, she was MANTI TE'O'S FAKE GIRLFRIEND! "Maxim" says, quote, "After Manti Te'o's fake girlfriend hoax of 2012, we think it might be nice to have an invisible girl of our own to love. Why not? She's got a ton of great qualities, including looking awesome in a bikini." As we already heard, MILEY CYRUS tops the list this year. She's followed by SELENA GOMEZ and RIHANNA.
Miley Cyrus hopes couple's therapy will save her relationship with Liam Hemsworth. Sources say Miley has asked a spiritual marriage counselor to help the couple work out their differences. She knows that Liam has one foot out the door and that she'll lose him if she doesn't act fast.
Lindsay Lohan's parents will reportedly go to the Betty Ford Clinic for some group therapy sessions with their daughter. A source says Lindsay's counselors want to get Dina and Michael to the clinic for a series of sessions in the next few weeks. The source says they feel like having her work through her family issues could help with her recovery.
Amanda Bynes won't serve any jail time for driving with a suspended license but will be on probation. Amanda pleaded no contest to the charge and was placed on three-years probation and fined $300.
5/9/13 Demi Moore Dating 30-Year--Old
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poye Webb
Thursday, May 9, 2013
DEMI MOORE is reportedly dating a 30-year-old bearded commercial pearl diver. His name is Will Hanigan. He's into meditation, he uses a sheepskin as a yoga mat and his Sikh name is Simranjeet Singh. Will and Demi use the sauna at a place called Nine Treasures Yoga in West Hollywood, where a source says they, quote, "can be heard making wild sexual noises inside."
On Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" Tuesday night, NICK LACHEY said the best thing about not having JOE SIMPSON as his father-in-law anymore is, quote, "I don't have to play GRAB-ASS under the table on Easter Sunday." He also said he hasn't talked to JESSICA SIMPSON in six years.
"Men's Health" magazine has put together a list of the Hottest Celebrity Moms. They include Angelina Jolie, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, Jessica Alba and Jennifer Garner.
Mariah Carey is on the outs with another of her fellow American Idol judges. She's dumped Randy Jackson as her manager. Randy, who had managed Mariah since 2011, was reportedly instrumental in getting her that $18 million deal to join him on Idol. According to reports, the official reason they're giving for the split is that their schedules were "too hectic."
Liam Hemsworth's brothers, Chris and Luke, don't want Miley Cyrus for a sister-in-law. The bros are so against Liam's rocky relationship with his fiancee that they staged an intervention with him in April. A source tells Us Magazine, "They want him to end the romance for good." Seems their words have made an impact. The couple -- who got engaged last June -- recently stopped making wedding plans and have been spending plenty of time apart.
5/8/13 Tiger Woods Wasted
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, May 8, 2013
KIM KARDASHIAN, you are officially yesterday's skank. It's time to slide on over and make room for "Teen Mom" skeeze FARRAH ABRAHAM. Farrah's new sex tape attracted more than 2 million visitors in just the 12 hours after it went on sale at the Vivid Entertainment website Monday. The site even crashed for several minutes, and Vivid had to add more servers. When Kim Kardashian's sex tape went on sale in 2007, it only attracted 600,000 visitors in the first 12 hours.
TIGER WOODS took LINDSEY VONN to a big party Monday night sponsored by the Metropolitan Museum in New York City . . . and he proceeded to get PLASTERED. Sources say Lindsey was EMBARRASSED by Tiger's behavior. At one point he, quote, "danced awkwardly and grabbed Vonn's butt." And as they were leaving at the end of the night, Tiger fell on a flight of stairs, and Lindsey had to help him the rest of the way out.
LINDSAY LOHAN has completed a 48-hour detox program at Betty Ford, and she's now in an all-female dorm. She doesn't have a roommate yet, but that could change. A source says, quote, "She is adapting to being back at Betty Ford and is very receptive to the care plan that has been created for her." Lindsay is NOT allowed to leave the clinic at all, and she's only allowed to use her phone for a short period every day. There's also talk that doctors are going to evaluate whether or not Lindsay actually needs Adderall. She has a prescription for it because of her supposed ADD. But if they decide that's a load, they'll take it from her.
"Reader's Digest" set out to find the 100 Most Trusted People in America. And along the way, they discovered that KRISTEN STEWART is the LEAST-trusted movie star. Meanwhile, TOM HANKS got the highest score of ANYONE on the list, with 64%. He was followed by SANDRA BULLOCK with 63%.

Tuesday, May 7, 2013
19-year-old PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER was kicked out of a Hollywood club Saturday night for being underage. He actually would have gotten away with it if he didn't start throwing ice cubes at the DJ. That's when a waitress recognized him and had him kicked out. Patrick's resulting tirade outside the club was caught on video.
In honor of Mother's Day, "Working Mother" magazine has put together a list of the 50 Most Powerful Working Moms. They include Jessica Simpson, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Tina Fey and the authors of the "Twilight" and "Hunger Games" books.

According to Forbes.com, TIM TEBOW is America's Most Influential Athlete. He's followed by Olympic swimmer MICHAEL PHELPS, Olympic sprinter USAIN BOLT and DEREK JETER.
Shawn Holley agreed to take Lindsay Lohan back as a client as long as Lindsay's paychecks went go to her. Lohan owes the Holley $150,000 from prior services and Holley only agreed to take her back as long as the debt is paid off. And sources say LiLo already wants out of the Betty Ford Center and has her heart set on recovering in Hawaii or Antigua.

The appointment of the next chief of the Army staff barely two days before the end of the present government's tenure raises questions about its motives in rushing through the announcement. Were they nervous that they were desperate to have their own man in place to mask the wrongdoings which they might have done during their tenure? Had they not announced the appointment, it is quite possible that the new government might have also appointed the same individual without all the negative publicity which this deed generated.
Such suspicious actions create mistrust on the rectitude and apolitical character of the chief designate for no fault of his. The question is not about personalities. It is about the 1.2 million strong Indian Army and its institutional integrity. It is about providing the country a sense of confidence on the leadership of the country's armed forces and its ability to protect the countries security and integrity under his leadership. It is about the propriety and morality of the government taking the decision while on its way out giving a political colour to the decision and its consequences for the apolitical nature of the defence services.
The questions that are being raised are was the general cleared by the Central Vigilance Commission? If yes, on what basis? If the vigilance had not cleared the individual, was it appropriate on the part of the government to appoint him the chief of the army? Did the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet, the Prime Minister and the President of India clear the appointment?
Military has the onerous task of managing violence on behalf of the society and the state. In pursuance of this obligation it takes on the responsibility to kill and or get killed if need be in order to protect the integrity, dignity, values and objectives of the nation. In order to protect the soldiers executing this mandate from being unnecessarily harassed and to protect their interests, laws such as Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) are enacted.
While the state protects the soldier for the legitimate engagements in which he is forced to employ violence even to the extent of killing, it cannot give the military an open ended license to kill which can be or seen to be exploited. The controls and the mandatory checks and balances for these unwritten arrangements between the state and the soldiers are provided by the military hierarchy which is obligated to ensure that the authority to use power is employed judiciously based on a principle of minimum force. In this regard, accountability is proportionate to the level of command and the rank of the commander. Under no circumstances can misuse of power by the army or for that matter by any other security force or agency be accepted in a democracy. If this tenet is ignored, the force will turn out to be a menace to the society.
It is in this domain that the army chief designate is alleged to have abdicated his responsibility by not exercising adequate control on one of his subordinate units. The general might not have personally participated in the alleged misdeeds of the Intelligence and Surveillance unit under him. But why did he not act when the wrongs and misuse of power by the unit were brought to his notice more than once? Was it not his duty to ensure that the troops acted firmly and in a just manner? If he had failed to exercise his authority in this case, will he be able to do so in future cases that may come up during his tenure as the chief when he will have greater responsibility to act on more number of senior officers and on a larger force? Failure to come heavily on acts of indiscipline apart from giving an incentive to the others to deviate from the path of fair play and justice creates mistrust in the society about the honorableness of the army as an institution.
In the defence services, until and unless commanders follow rules and norms uniformly in every case, fingers will be pointed at him as being prejudiced and subjective. That would compromise his ability to enforce discipline in the force. A military commander cannot act like a political leader from behind the bureaucratic curtain. He will necessarily have to exercise direct command and face up to his subordinate formations and commanders. The damage to a commander's credibility will have its own impact on his standing and weaken his position which the bureaucracy will take advantage of to the detriment of the institution.
In a uniformed force such deficiencies are not well taken by troops and these issues demolish the esteem, faith and the trust between higher commanders and their subordinates affecting command and control. It results in the subordinates questioning the validity of the orders emanating from an individual whose credibility is undecided. It alters their willingness to sacrifice their lives based on the orders of someone whose position has been eroded.
It is quite possible that the chief designate had discharged his responsibilities as was expected of him in his position as the Corps Commander but this ought to have been established and promulgated through institutional mechanisms available within the Army and the government. The government failed to do that by trying to brush issues under the carpet. What was expected of a responsible government was to investigate the matter and openly pronounce its findings to the nation so that the confidence and the trust in the individual which was acquiring an uncertain face in the country and the defence services could have been corrected.
At the level of army chief, especially in a well-established institution like the Indian army, where the support staff and establishments are highly trained and are quite capable of managing issues including planning and executing operations, what really matters is the ability of the individual to protect the integrity, discipline and values cherished by the outfit and to safeguard the larger interests of the troops and the organisation. Would the chief designate be able to stand up to the expectations of the country and the Army which he has been designated to command? Would he be able to shake off the image, an image created by a political party, as being an individual with leanings to the party concerned? Or will he go down in the history as the first political appointee Chief of Army?
The outgoing government by acting with unreasonable haste without due consideration for propriety apart from politicizing the defence services, has done a huge damage to the personal credibility of the chief designate and to the armed forces as an institution.
The political class needs to realise the subtle difference between purchasing the loyalty of the service chiefs and the chiefs of other law enforcement agencies and civil organisations. A political party by securing the loyalty of a service chief cannot expect the troops to fall in line unlike in the case of civil services where the lower level officials can be made to sing the tune of the political party and work towards its interests through the dictates of its boss. One can see this trend in the working of police forces. By patronizing a particular individual as the police chief, the political party in power gets the force to work as per its dictates through its chief. Propriety and legalities are thrown to the dust bin. That cannot and should not happen in the defence services. Securing the loyalty of military commanders does not imply troops, subordinate commanders and formations will become pliable. Meek commanders cannot motivate troops to win wars or to make the supreme sacrifice when the time comes. What the army needs is a leader of the class of Sam Manekshaw who could induce a level of motivation in the troops required for winning a war as was demonstrated during 1971.
Rather than playing political games with the defence services, the aim of our political class ought to have been to build an army of unquestionable devotion to the state which alone provides strength to a democracy and forms the basis for keeping the defence services apolitical besides providing a 'no coup' guarantee.
