No, you can't keep them. They are being confiscated effective immediately by the Primal Police. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Now hand them over.
You can keep them and eat them, of course, much like I still love my artificial sweeteners. 20% and all, and we're all adults and able to make our own food choices here, just don't fool yourself into thinking they're anything than a candy bar.

No, you can't keep them. They are being confiscated effective immediately by the Primal Police. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Now hand them over.
i try to only eat them after a run or when i know i'm going to be around a bunch of non primal folk eating cake & drinking beer..they help keep me satisfied around the "real junk" & give me that "ahh yay a reward" feeling when i open one & munch on it after a race. i do find it easier for me to just break down & eat a quest bar & be satisfied, than trying to eat almonds or nuts by themselves...i have NO concept of portion control with nuts & for me, eating just a handful of cashews is just asking for a binge..
but omg..the cookie dough ones are freaking incredible. i've seriously had to talk myself out of buying a full box like 9 times since they came out..i KNOW i will abuse them if i have that many laying around...i've been keeping myself busy all day at work to keep me from remembering i left one of the coconut cashew (my favorite) ones in the kitchen here at my office..they're good, & i think as far as bars go they are your best bet..but i can see me going crazy with them, so i keep them hiden & snack on veggies or meat instead.
It has next to no chocolate in it.
I'm not going to demand that you eat steak for breakfast, but honestly, the Quest bars look too manufactured to fit into 80%.
I would put them into my "non-cheat, good" 20% category, mostly because of the whey powder. The meaning of "non-cheat good 20%" is open to interpretation.
5'0" female, 43 years old. Started Primal October 31, 2011, at a skinny fat 111.5 lbs. Low weight: 99.5 lb on a fast. Gained to 110 on sugar cheat. Reset with 85P / 90C / 90F. Currently weaning off fat to 85P / 90C / 60F.
MY PRIMAL: I (try to) follow by-the-book primal as advocated by Mark Sisson, except for whey powder and a bit of cream. I advocate a two-month strict adjustment for newbies. But everybody is different and other need to tweak Primal to their own needs.
Hmmmmm, processed junk and READY IN just 30 seconds! You can fool yourself all you like, but the golden standard is a list of foods on Mark Sisson's "what I eat list". If the 30 second processed cookies don't appear on Mark's food list, then I humbly suggest it's because it doesn't meet the requirement of being healthy or whole foods.
Now, no one here is saying you need to reach for the golden standard. Then again, there are a lot of people who do not meet their weight goals and that's fine -- because some are not really willing to give up the processed foods, beer, alcohol and anything else that inhibits weight loss. Cause and effect ....... /lu
Start Date: 25-06-12 @ 161lbs
Goal Reached: 30-09-12 @ 143lb. Now bouncing between 145lb - 149lb. I'd like less bounce and more consistency :-)
Started Cross Fit 20.12.12 ---- Can't wait to submit my success story on the 1st anniversary of starting primal.

Hello, On version 1.3 and 1.3.1 the link to the categories no longer works. Can you test this version? The allocation of articles into the categories doesn't display
Thank you in advance to keep me informed.
best regards
It is not just you! I cannot tell you why it is broke and I have not even tried a reinstall but it is broke…
It's a problem for sure!
I am experiencing an issue when clicking the category link such as "Posted in Blog", where the link takes me to the Admin Login! Ouch.
I opened up the config.xml for the blog, and found this:
<admin> <routers> <blog> <use>admin</use> <args> <module>Monk_Blog_Manage</module> <frontName>blog</frontName> </args> </blog> </routers> </admin>
On a whim, I changed the frontName value. To admin instead. The link changed to match!
Which really didn't help much, the categories weren't accessible and the link still took me to an admin login.
So I removed the <frontName> altogether… (again, a whim)
<admin> <routers> <blog> <use>admin</use> <args> <module>Monk_Blog_Manage</module> </args> </blog> </routers> </admin>
Now the category link works again! I can click it and go to the category section, no more admin page problem. I haven't tested very much further, I will let you know if I run into any problems from this whimsical fix.
Of course, I can't find any documentation regarding the xml configurations and reason for <frontName>, et al. Big Thanks to the Magento Team for that!!
Well, as far as I can tell everything is working on the Blog for me now. Changing that <frontName> for the admin doesn't seem to have any adverse effects, and clears up all the front end difficulty. I wonder why it's even needed? It doesn't really work as a URL definition for the admin, for example, you can't create a module and have it use admin/ or whatever your actual admin route is called using the frontName although that is what all the usage of it seems to imply. Perhaps it's just useless in reality and left as some kind of legacy concept that should be removed from the <admin> xml configs.
@Periculi - well done for trying… I am still getting problems with getting blank or error pages when I click on an actual blog entry, i.e. the header for the story.
The blog feature might have to wait…
Hi, after doing some research. Here is the function that has changed: app/code/core/Mage/Core/Controller/varien/Router/Standard.php line 350. v 1.3.1
public function getControllerFileName($realModule, $controller) { $parts = explode('_', $realModule); $realModule = implode('_', array_splice($parts, 0, 2)); $file = Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', $realModule); if (count($parts)) { $file .= DS . implode(DS, $parts); } $file .= DS.uc_words($controller, DS).'Controller.php'; return $file; }
the last function v1.2
public function getControllerFileName($realModule, $controller) { $file = Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', $realModule); $file .= DS.uc_words($controller, DS).'Controller.php'; return $file; }
if you replace this function it works. if you made the echo of the new feature you will see that the path is not good.
public function getControllerFileName($realModule, $controller) {//echo "realModule : " . $realModule . "
";//$file1 = Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', $realModule);//$file1 .= DS.uc_words($controller, DS).'Controller.php';//echo $file1 . "
"; $parts = explode('_', $realModule); $realModule = implode('_', array_splice($parts, 0, 2));//echo "parts : " . print_r($parts) . "
";//echo "realModule : " . $realModule . "
"; $file = Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', $realModule);//echo $file . "
"; if (count($parts)) { $file .= DS . implode(DS, $parts); } $file .= DS.uc_words($controller, DS).'Controller.php'; //echo $file . "
";//exit(); return $file; }
I also recommend to keep the new function and change the config.xml in ETC
replace by
But I do not understand why the path is not respected ...
Thanks for the research work, Jeremy!
So there could be a problem in the Blog Controller.php? Maybe we can figure out how to fix it to work with the new getControllerFileName.
This did not fix it for me, we should move this thread to the support one for the blog module, some other folks have been looking at why this is broke and we could miss out when they fix it
Yeah, nothing there for an answer yet.
Discovery -> Did you do the usual? Clear your cache.
Look, I got this one working. The blog is only available if you know the url because I don't want to expose it if it is broken, but everything seems fine to me. That's just a little test site we are putting together, and we hope to use the blog in it. I have only tested the functionality of the blog on the blog pages, I have no idea if the blocks work or other aspects, but I can live with that the way it is acting right now.
addit- oops, spoke to soon. I had an older version of the blog installed, and went to update it and now I am getting blank pages…
On Firefox I get blank screen for that link - the same problem!
It just happened when I went to upgrade to the most recent version. What a bummer, maybe I will use the previous version instead - it was working before!
It was the path to recaptchalib.php causing the blank page. I dug into the error logs and found that it wasn't finding the file correctly.
In PostController.php (Monk/Blog/controllers/)
require_once 'lib/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php';
I had to put the real path to this file from the top level of the server. '/' all the way down to /lib (about 7 folders deep on my server) to get this to work.
On my windows machine it didn't have a problem finding the file with the require_once "lib/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php" but on the linux server it wasn't getting the right include path for some reason. I put in the real include path and that solved the issue for me.
What I am curious about now is why the include path was getting so messed up. I mean really really off track. It seemed to be trying to search for lib/ in the very top folder of the server. Waaay off track. No where near the magento install, no where near the folders real location. So what happened to magento setting the include path? Or did it get thrown off because of something new in 1.3.x series?
At any rate, maybe we can start to figure out a more reasonable fix. But for the time being I have a working Blog again. Yay!
Here, try the blog again on a 1.3.1 install.
Instead of altering the path to the recaptchalib.php, I tracked down the include_path using echo ini_get('include_path') at the beginning of the PostController.php file. I found that the path was now set to something like /home/{user}/{website}/{html}/app/code/local:/home/{user}/{website}/{html}/app/code/core:/home/{user}/{website}/{html}/app/code/community:
So I created a lib/ folder in app/code/community/ and put the recaptcha/recaptchalib.php in there, and it is able to find the file it needs that way.
Which is what you could also try to do-> make a lib folder in community/ and put the recaptcha folder from {magento}/lib/ into that location.
Blog default install: app/code/community/Monk/Blog lib/recaptcha/ +template files, etc.
Fixed for include path error: app/code/community/Monk/Blog app/code/community/lib/recaptcha/
Fix for admin login route: open config.xml in app/code/community/Monk/Blog/etc remove <frontName>blog</frontName> from <admin> (see above posts)
Hi there,
For everybody with this problem - please see this thread:
And this bug report:
As I wrote there - "In any case, no extension and nothing else that breaks within Magento should EVER redirect the end-user to the admin log-in page."
These might be relevant too:
And the corresponding bug report:
Does anyone know if Lazzymonk is going to upgrade the blog for 1.3 compatibility? We're upgrading and would hate to lose our blog.
I done the upgrade for 1.3.1 and I associated with Fontis wysiwyg if someone is intersted, I make the package…
Yes, can you tell us how you did it?

Probably not. At least, that's what Daniel Radcliffe thinks.

In my designs, I have tried to portray different cultures, civilizations in different colors and forms. Each color represents a culture which when come together they create the color white; which according to me is the color of peace and friendship.
On the other hand, every color is part of the social identity. These different cultures are like the friction ridges of a finger print which are meaningless on their own but when are together, they create a singular identity.


text: Criada no início de 2002, nas matas que margeavam o rio Golandim, localizado em Natal na divisa com o município de São Gonçalo do Amarante/RN, a banda NaturalMente sempre teve como proposta desenvolver um som que se aproximasse ao máximo dos loucos instintos, os mais rústicos da natureza humana, instintos esses, que igualham o homem ao animal, ao vegetal, ao mineral, ou seja, você e todo o planeta Terra se unificam em uma só força, a do amor! Esse contato com a natureza foi primordial e essencial para a evolução da banda no decorrer dos anos. O NaturalMente toca atualmente em bares e eventos da cidade. Em dezembro de 2006 participou do Show de Talentos, realizado pela Prefeitura Municipal de Natal e Capitania das Artes, sendo classificada para a fase final, terminando em 4º lugar. Participou também em julho de 2007 do 10º UNIREGGAE-Festival Universitário do Maranhão em São Luis, realizado pelo núcleo de arte da UFMA-Universidade Federal do Maranhão, terminando em 3º lugar segundo júri técnico com a música \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Gritos do Gueto\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". Em outubro de 2007 a NaturalMente conquista uma vaga na categoria Hip-Hop Reggaeton pra seletiva nacional do EQUINÓCIO/2007-Festival Da Canção Sulamericana em Curitiba-PR. Neste, a banda não conseguiu se classificar para a final sul- americana mas cresceu muito musicalmente trocando figurinhas com bandas e artistas de todo o país. Em 2008 e 2009 novamente é finalista do UNIREGGAE, respectivamente com as músicas: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Casa de Ferreiro, Espeto de Pau\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" e \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A Amazônia Quer Respirar\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" respectivamente. A banda é formada por uma galera preocupada com o mundo, protestando na mais pura essência do reggae, buscando produzir músicas que sensibilizem os ouvidos mais insensíveis a esse estilo musical, respirando o aroma do que há de mais puro na mãe natureza, NaturalMente. Sua proposta, apesar de manter-se fiel as raízes do reggae jamaicano, é trazer um reggae progressivo, isto é, com a mistura da essência regional o NaturalMente canta um reggae brasileiro, buscando através de seus sons, alimentar a mente de todas as pessoas quanto as questões que envolvem a desigualdade, o preconceito, a destruição de nossas florestas e todas as outras mazelas que já estão encrostadas em nosso país. Em 2010, exatamente no dia 4 de outubro, a banda Naturalmente participou do festival internacional GBOB BRAZIL (Global Battle Of the Bands) , realizando uma brilhante apresentação, com muita responsabilidade, competência e sinceridade no seu som. Não foi alcançada a classificação, porém, suas raízes e seu ideal foram deixados no palco do Burburinho, no Recife Antigo. No fim de 2010 a banda participou do festival CANÇÃO UNIVERSITÁRIA 2010 organizada pela UFRN (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte) conquistando o 3º LUGAR, entre 15 bandas participantes. A música premiada foi \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A Trilha\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" parceria entre Rafael Torres e Hérica Torres. Formada por Rafael Torres (vocalista), Rafael Matos e César Damasceno (guitarristas), Naldo Torres (percussionista), Moacir Damasceno (baterista), Gerailton (Teclados) e Gilson Barros (Baixista). A banda, no momento, encontra-se em processo de gravação de seu primeiro CD.

Now what are you doing? But it seems as if the problem is solved. It appears - by naming, by labeling - as if you have solved the problem. Avoid this habit - this is one of the dangerous habits of man. And because of this habit it has become impossible to penetrate into reality. This habit has become so unconscious, so deep-rooted, so mechanical, that the moment you see something, you immediately verbalize. You see the tree and immediately you repeat inside "This is a tree - gulmohar tree or a pine tree. This is a rose, this is a marigold." You continuously go on saying something inside whenever you are facing, encountering, anything. And if sometimes you come across something the name of which you don't know, you feel a little uneasy: you start inquiring "What is this thing called?' Once somebody has given you a name - any name will do - you are at ease. How do you become at ease so easily? Just by naming you think you have known.
A child is born and you give a name to the child, and the moment you give the name you have put a barrier. Now the child will be equivalent to the name, and the name is an invention. The child was a mystery, and the name is very poor. No name can cover any person because each person is such a mystery. What name can cover a person? It is impossible. I know it is needed, the name is needed for utilitarian purposes, but remember well that the name rose is not the rose. Use the name but don't forget that the rose is a tremendous existence.
Tennyson has said "If I could understand a flower, root and all, then I would have understood the whole existence." Yes, a small roseflower is so vast that if you can understand one small roseflower you will have understood the whole existence, because everything is so interconnected. If you want to understand the roseflower you will have to understand the earth: it comes out of it, the earth is the source. And you will have to understand the sky, because it flowers into the sky. You will have to understand the sun, because without the sun it cannot exist; the color comes from the sun. And if you go deeply into it, you will find that you will have to understand everything that exists in existence. Only then will your knowing about this rose be complete and total.
But just by calling it rose you start thinking you have known. These names give you knowledge and these names simply confuse you.
Asked Joyce, the inquiring child "Dad, is today Wednesday?"
Answered the patient father "No, daughter, today is Thursday."
Joyce: "But you said yesterday that 'today is Wednesday'." Father: "Well, today was Wednesday yesterday. Yesterday Thursday was tomorrow today. When today is tomorrow, today will be yesterday. Today is today now. Now do you understand?"
Games of words, games.and nothing else. All your philosophy and all your theology are nothing but games with words, playing with words. And one can play endlessly. One word can lead to another and so on and so forth. Existence is, and existence is not a word. Existence is, and existence is not a philosophy. Existence is, and existence is not a dogma, theory, scripture. If you want to move into existence, then you have to drop all words, all verbalizing habits; you have to drop language. Language is the barrier.

Ok, gunzip thinks there is no error, but when I pulled that file from ftp://ftp.lfs-matrix.net/pub/lfs/lfs-packages/6.4/inetutils-1.5.tar.gz it's different from the wget-list file's URL target http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/inetutils/inetutils-1.5.tar.gz So, which one is correct? the one from the GNU project page, which does not match the SHA1SUMS file, or the one from the LFS page, which does? Presumably, any difference between what GNU provides and what LFS actually needs would be provided by a corresponding patch file.

Last week when the S&P was tipping its hand that it would downgrade U.S. sovereign debt, I was amazed that investors stll poured into the securities --- while selling everything else. A friend, who was a hedge fund analyst (he's currently unemployed), put it this way: "U.S. debt is the best house in a very bad neighborhood." See the quote of the day, a similar sentiment, from today's WSJ.com.
From a story, Treasurys Rally as U.S. Debt Remains Go-To Haven: "Double-A plus is the de facto triple-A," said James Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Minneapolis-based Wells Capital Management, which manages $342 billion. "There is a lot of fear in the markets right now and Treasurys are still the place to go."

3 Sadly does not live up to it's amazing trailer.Nemics | 08/04/2010 | See all Nemics's reviews (1)The trailer for Daybreakers was one of the coolest that I have seen in recent years. It had a fantastic soundtrack, beautiful visuals and looked very slick. With stars like Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe delivering great lines it seemed very promising.My wife and I could not wait to see the movie.However the movie did not live up to the trailer, it was corny at times and also a bit disjointed in places. Only some parts were fairly good.Overall it was a huge disappointment for us.However I think that if you haven't seen the trailer then you might not feel so let down.Despite my negative review I still might buy the Blu-ray to give it another chance.Good Luck :-)
4 'a better than average 'bite' -flick.rbmusicman | 09/06/2010 | See all rbmusicman's reviews (896)Top 100 Reviewer Top 100 DVD Reviewer Number 1 Music Reviewer Top 10 Office Reviewer in the not to distant future the world is dominated by vampires, humans are harvested for blood, however humans are fast becoming an endangered species.'ethan hawke' plays a blood specialist who is trying to come up with an alternative supply of blood-like fluid to feed the vampires and preserve human life.i've got to say this is one of the best 'vampire' movies i've seen for some time, not only does it contain the usual 'bite' attacks it also contains a story-line in which a former 'vampire' has found a cure to return vampires back to a human form.when you see the likes of 'william defoe' and 'sam neill' among the cast list you know they havent signed-up for a 'bad-movie'it's a good blu-ray presentation, along with some great special-effects.
4 Daybreakers: Unseen Edition (Blu-ray)gecko99 | 31/05/2010 | See all gecko99's reviews (3)This was a different twist on other Vampire movies. We thoroughly enjoyed it, a bit grusome in parts and made me jump. Soundtrack was fantastic very dynamic. Would recommend.
3 "unseen edition" is a lie!cueball | 20/06/2010 | See all cueball's reviews (1)saw Daybreakers in the cinema and it was great, cool story etc. thought it would be good to see the "unseen edition" and it turns out to be the same as the one in the cinema. so if your looking for something new or extra forget it, save your money.
5 W@W What a film well recomendedAnton1Tay | 04/02/2011 | See all Anton1Tay's reviews (7)The only thing wrong with the film it was not Long enough only 1 hour 38 mins, so good It went to fast, I did not know what I ordered at first as I was just looking for a few cheap films as sky is so pricey we get the cheap films instead, well I did not know how good this would be,I nearly did not get it as the Vampire movie I thought had done its inning for me use to watch them all the time but this film was so far more Great hoping for the next but they are talking about a prequel which I have only ever found one that worked that was ,Hannibal Rising silance of the Lambs.Anyhow we will see.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) The Missouri Supreme Court has set an execution date for a man convicted of killing a jewelry store owner more than two decades ago.
On Monday, the state high court ordered that Herbert Smulls be executed Jan. 29. Smulls was convicted of the 1991 murder of Chesterfield jeweler Stephen Honickman.
Smulls was originally sentenced to death by a St. Louis County jury in 1992. His attorney filed several appeals but the U.S. Supreme Court denied his final appeal in April 2009.
The state Supreme Court set the most recent execution date days before Missouri was scheduled to carry out another execution at 12:01 a.m. on Wednesday. The execution of Joseph Franklin in November was Missouri's first in nearly three years.

Feds quietly canvass provinces for climate change measures ahead of Paris...
If you build it, they will come. That is the hope of industry officials and government dignitaries as they cut the ribbon last Thursday to open the Institute of Food Processing and Technology at the Cambridge campus of Conestoga College.
The institute has been five years in the making and is a partnership between the college, provincial and federal governments, and the food industry.
The institute is the first of its kind in Ontario and is designed to be a training hub for the food processing industry. The backbone of the institute is an 8,000-square-foot training centre that has been equipped through a $2.3 million FedDev Ontario grant with state of the art technology.
The food and beverage manufacturing industry, with its 97,000 employees, contributes $10 billion annually to Ontario's GDP, making it the province's leading employer in the manufacturing sector.
The new institute is set to graduate its first three students in December.
"We've come a long way in the last five years, but our real work is just beginning," said Craig Richardson, president of the Alliance of Ontario Food Processors (AOFP), during opening ceremonies. "We now need to be ambassadors. We need to raise awareness of our industry."
Richardson said students, parents, teachers and guidance counsellors have to be made aware that the food processing industry offers "relevant and viable options for careers".
Over the next five years, Richardson said the institute's goal is to graduate 100 students a year.
"The reality is we have an aging workforce. The average age of our workers is 56 and 500 graduates are needed today," Richardson told the Times.
He said seven colleges were considered by the AOFP before Conestoga College was selected as the site of the new institute.
"We had 19 good reasons for coming here, but what made Conestoga stand out for us was the entrepreneurial spirit found here and the drive of (college president) John Tibbits," he said.
Richardson said that over time he believes the new institute will be able reach out to other parts of the college, like Conestoga's electrical and engineering programs, to train people for the food industry.
Tibbits agreed, noting the timing of the new institute "couldn't have been better".
"Our engineering technology and trades programs are closely aligned," he said, noting that programs can be tailored to industry and students' needs.
Tibbits also announced that, as Richardson has been the driving force in developing the institute, it will now be known as the Craig Richardson Institute of Food Processing Technology.
Cambridge MP Gary Goodyear, Minister of State for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), said the government is happy to invest in industry efforts.
"By supporting the Institute of Food Processing Technology, we are helping to ensure that our region's food processing and manufacturing sector has the skilled workforce it needs to grow and prosper, " he said.
FedDev Ontario's Prosperity Initiative has invested $2.3 million to equip the institute's new pilot plant with modern food processing lines that simulate the factory floor. Students will receive hands-on training, in areas of food safety, electronic instrumentation techniques, robotics, and plant supervision to help meet the current and future industry needs. Goodyear said the facility will put Ontario on the path to becoming "the kitchen of the world".
John Milloy, Ontario Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, said with more than 100 Waterloo region companies involved in the food industry and 3,000 more scattered across Ontario, the new institute will feed into regional and provincial economies.
"Your success is our success," Milloy told students on hand for the opening.
Ontario Agriculture Ministry Ted McMeekin said the institute is a massive undertaking.
"This is second largest manufacturing sector in Ontario. We want this sector to stay strong. This (institute) is a good thing for all Ontario."

LISBON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho is to get a street in Setubal named after him in honour of his sporting achievements, the town hall of his home city said on Thursday.
Mourinho, the 50-year-old self-styled 'Special One', is arguably the most successful ever Portuguese coach.
He has won league titles in four different countries with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, and has led teams to two Champions League trophies.
The Setubal town hall said in a statement it had made the decision because of Mourinho's "extraordinary role in international sport".
"He is, in all fairness, one of the coaches in the world with the most prestige and qualification."
The exact street or avenue has not yet been chosen but the town hall's general assembly voted unanimously to approve the naming.
Setubal, located just south-east of Lisbon across the Tagus, is a former industrial hub that has become one of Portugal's most impoverished and unemployment-stricken cities. (Reporting by Daniel Alvarenga, editing by Ed Osmond)

I am planning to grill NY Strip Steaks for a Father's Day dinner and I am wondering if I should marinade or do a rub on the steaks before grilling. Or should I just let the natural steak flavor shine through and simply rub with olive oil, salt and pepper? Any advice or guidance from food52 grilling experts would be appreciated!
I think your steaks are too tasty by themselves to fool around with a marinade, so try this. Salt the NY strips all over and leave them at room temperature for at least two hours. Season with pepper. Oil the steaks or the grill and cook the steaks until just charred. Put them in a skillet and into a 400 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes. When they're done let them rest on a platter while you deglaze the hot pan over a medium flame with some wine, butter and any handy herbs. Add any juices from the steaks to the sauce and serve with the sauce on top or on the side. Can't be beat.
i don't think you shoudl marinate them. I do like to salt my meat an hour before cooking, since it helps draw out water and helps produce a very nice crust. Serving with a nice saucem however, is another story. My three favorites are:
1) Mushrooms with a balsamic vinegar glaze - just cook mushrooms down with a little salt and add vinegar a few minutes before finising.
2) Blue cheese - just crumble one when done and serve - delish
3) a rosemary, garlic and sea salt - use a mortal and pestle to mix and serve on the side so you can dip as you go.
Happy Father's day!!!
Just salt them. Here's a bit about salting steaks. Either salt them immediately, or let sit at least 40mins.
As jwolfsthal mentioned. Serve with a side sauce.
And for family, don't forget the A1 even though that might be against your tastes. Some people like it and expect it.
I'm anti-marinade if it's good beef. I tend to just use a bit of oil and black pepper, then serve with grey sea salt.
Thanks everyone for the great advice. I ended up bringing the steaks to room temperature and rubbed them with sea salt, olive oil and black pepper. After grilling, the steaks developed the most delicious crust! Rather than turning on the stove to make a pan sauce, I made a compound butter with garlic, fresh rosemary and chives to serve with the steaks. They were beyond scrumptious!

Senior Fraud on the Rise as Baby Boomers Age
For Immediate Release March 19, 2007 ANNANDALE, VA – Six of his clients are retired military colonels and all six were targets of fraud after their wives died. None thinks it's a coincidence.
"It's almost as if retired military officers are being actively targeted," said Jason Sager, owner of Home Instead Senior Care in Annandale.
One of the colonels told Sager that as soon as his wife's obituary was printed, the phone started ringing.
"When cons see 'survived by colonel' they assume the survivor is wealthy," said Sager. "All of them have had to change their phone numbers."
Cons have it easier than ever now as the population of their most vulnerable target market – the elderly – grows. Many seniors are lonely and trusting, and sometimes
disoriented, which makes them more susceptible to slick talkers out to make quick cash.
Such was the case of a 78-year old Springfield woman suffering from dementia, who was sold a car she would never drive.
Unhappy that her driver's license had been suspended following three accidents and that her son had taken her car, she called a nearby auto dealer about purchasing a vehicle. A sales representative arranged for the woman and her 91-year-old husband to be transported to the car lot where they were sold an automobile for $5,000 above the $16,000 sticker price. Because her hands were shaking, the salesman actually wrote the check for her.
Home Instead Senior Care caregivers, who were hired to visit the couple regularly, called relatives to alert them of the suspicious purchase. Sager's firm and the couple's family forced the dealership to return the car for a full refund.
"We were disgusted that someone could take advantage of this wonderful couple, but it happens all the time," said Sager. "Having someone to look out for the elderly can be an important deterrent and help prevent devastating consequences."
Earlier, the same couple also was duped by an unscrupulous lawn service that billed them $980 several times. The elderly pair paid again and again to the tune of $17,000. That's when the family stepped in and hired caregivers.
While con games have changed with the times, the practice of defrauding consumers of all ages is nothing new. When the target is a senior, however, the stakes have never been higher, say senior care experts. Senior scams are costing older adults their life savings, their homes, and even their lives.
From lottery and sweepstakes scams and investment fraud to home improvement
schemes, seniors often are sitting ducks for a criminal looking to make fast cash. According to 2005 statistics from the National Fraud Information Center, nearly one quarter of all telemarketing scam complaints were logged by those over the age of 70, which represents the highest percentage of any demographic group that year.
What makes older adults so vulnerable to tricksters, scammers, and con criminals? It appears that physical and psychological needs are at the heart of this issue, according to research and anecdotes from senior experts.
"Seniors often worry they will outlive their money and are concerned that they might not be able to continue to live the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed," said Sager.
Research confirms that criminals may cater to these types of worries. A recent report from the Consumer Fraud Research Group for WISE Senior Services and NASD (National Association of Securities Dealers) Investor Education Foundation, revealed that fraud pitches are tailored to meet the psychological needs of a potential senior victim.
Audiotapes of pitches showed that the con criminal will use one kind of appeal for the lottery fraud victim that may prey on the fact that person is a widow and feels deprived in life, according to the report. But con criminals will use a different kind of pitch for the investment fraud victim who is more likely to be male, self-reliant, and knowledgeable about finances.
"If a con criminal can call seniors and get them to give up their Social Security numbers, they can create any type of transaction," said Edward Hutchison, program
director of the National Association of Triads, Inc., an 18-year-old organization that is
part of the National Sheriffs' Association and educates communities on senior safety.
"Within the last three years, we've been focusing predominately on senior fraud, scams, and elder abuse," Hutchison said.
"We've seen how individuals have taken out mortgages on seniors' homes and who have filed quitclaim deeds on property and taken over to remove seniors from their homes," he said. "Or they open up joint checking accounts with the criminal's and senior's name."
One 81-year-old woman who was caring for her husband with Alzheimer's disease paid a criminal $800,000 and drained her savings for home repairs that were never completed, he said.
What's worse, seniors can get on a "sucker's list" where they continue to be the victims of unscrupulous people. And that can result in legal issues that may outlive the
Senior, he said.
Fraud can affect life expectancy as well. A Journal of the American Medical Association study showed that victims of elder mistreatment, including exploitation, have a mortality rate three times higher than non-victims.
When con criminals infiltrate, tragedy can result for a senior who is often just
looking out for the best interests of his or her family. And that consequence can be the biggest crime of all.
"Most seniors just want to leave a legacy to their children and grandchildren," Hutchison said. "Criminals prevent some from doing just that."

Top Five Senior Scams
Following are the top five senior scams provided by the National Association of Triads, Inc., an 18-year-old organization that is part of the National Sheriffs' Association, and Home Instead Senior Care:
Prizes and sweepstakes scams. Seniors are told they've won a sweepstakes and asked to send a check to cover the taxes. Or, they receive a fake check for $5,000 and are encouraged to deposit the money and send back $2,000 to cover the taxes. By the time it's determined that these checks, which often come from an overseas bank, are worthless, the senior has lost his or her money. Magazine sale scams, where seniors order fraudulent magazine subscriptions, also are prevalent.
Home improvement frauds. Criminals knock on a senior's door offering to fix the driveway, then paint it black and charge $3,000. Or seniors are asked to pay up front for roof repairs but never see the alleged repairman again.
Phishing schemes. Seniors receive a call from someone claming to represent a bank or other reputable financial institution. They're warned that their financial information or credit card has been compromised and are asked to verify their bank account number or call an 800 number where they're asked for their personal financial information.
Internet fraud. Seniors, unfamiliar with how to use the Internet, can unwittingly give their credit card number to a scammer.
Identity theft. Seniors who give up their birth date and Social Security number can open up their entire financial history to a thief.
What You Can Do To Protect Seniors
Following, from the National Association of Triads, Inc. and Home Instead Senior Care, are ways that family caregivers can protect their senior loved ones:
1. Watch for unusual activity. Seniors who are scammed may be embarrassed and try to hide what happened. Watch for changes in their lifestyle as well as any other unusual financial or business activity.
2. Be on guard for individuals who have befriended your loved one. Lonely or isolated seniors may be vulnerable to con criminals who befriend them and provide them with companionship. Ask to talk to your parent's new friend to find out more about him or her. A thief won't stick around long to chat.
3. Investigate organizations looking for money. Often seniors want to donate to organizations and other worthy causes. Help your loved ones by requesting written information on the organization and reviewing it thoroughly, or contact the Better Business Bureau.
4. Assist seniors with their finances. If a senior can no longer handle his or her finances, encourage your loved one to put a plan in place that can help ensure bills are paid and his or her assets are protected. That plan may include your senior designating a financial power of attorney.
5. Destroy information that could be compromised. Make sure your senior shreds all financial information and credit card offers before discarding them in the trash.
6. Seek out a second set of eyes. If you live a distance from your loved one or can't always be there, help your senior build a support network. This can include neighbors, friends, trusted church members or professional care givers like those from Home Instead Senior Care.
