Morning Throwback: before Settlers of Catan, Toronto had this game called "chess"
Ah, yes. The great chess match of 1914-ish: Morrison vs. Marshall. Never heard of it? Here's all you need to know. Team Morrison's slogan: "I'll take your pawn, all day long;" Team Marshall's tagline: "This is a stick-up: give up your bishop." The game was so epically long that those two dudes' beards turned white in the process. The game was won in only four moves. Marshall ended up losing, but his great-great grandson invented the game Connect Four, so it all worked out in the wash.

Morning Throwback: these men probably wish they were playing Texas hold 'em
Back before MMA and Game of Thrones existed, what exactly did Toronto men talk about in 1898? Well, we think it went something like this: "What the heck does the word 'Yukon' even mean?" "So those Spaniards got a pretty raw deal with that Treaty of Paris, eh?" "I hear there's a new element called radium. Sounds pretty harmless." Good thing for them that the National Hockey Association would soon be on its way.

Red Hot Chili Peppers serve up an energized set at ACC
Maybe it was their newfound status as Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, maybe it was the addition of new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who stepped in to replace founding member John Frusciante in 2009. Whatever the reason, the Red Hot Chili Peppers served up an energized, inspired two-hour set at the Air Canada Centre Friday night in the first of two back-to-back shows, the Peppers' first tour dates since being enshrined in the Rock Hall two weeks ago.

Theatre Review: You Can't Take It With You
It is a pleasure to see Soulpepper Theatre's superb production of You Can't Take It With You, the Pulitzer Prize-winning American comedy by Kaufman and Hart. And knowing that this very special offering will run in repertory in the Distillery District into the middle of June, only adds to the happiness.

Morning Throwback: thank Maxis that you no longer have to build pretend cities out of cardboard
There's Sim City, and then there's this. Back in 1938, Torontonians built their pretend cities using toilet paper rolls, old pieces of plywood, some leftover paint and ABC gum. It may not look like much, but, hey, at least they didn't have to deal with plumbing.

Morning Throwback: in the '40s, bird really was the word
Before Mike Tyson and his weird love of pigeons became pop culture fodder, Toronto had Mr. Stonehouse and his bird, Allan. Mr. Stonehouse and his feathered friend were pretty much inseparable in the '40s. Not only did Allan regularly accompany Mr. Stonehouse to work, but they also took swing-dancing lessons and competed in a duet singing competition (where they placed third).

Reviews for A Rosie Place / O'Hana Heritage Foundation, Inc.
1 person found this review helpful
I have been delivering babies in our community for over 30 years. Unfortunately, some have been premature or have congenital birth defects. A Rosie Place was createde to provide respite care for these children and their families. To my knowledge it is the only location in the state of Indiana that offers such services. I joined the board 3 1/2 years ago to lend my time, voice, and money to this most amazing endeavor.

I am one of the founders of this non-profit organization which started as a round table conversation between many representatives of our community in an attempt to meet a huge need.
The families of medically fragile in our community needed support to maintain the integrity of their households and respite from 24-hour care for their loved ones.
We educated friends and families around us and raised the funds to build a home that serves the needs of this vulnerable population and continue to support the mission with fund raised dollars, even as we recruit highly trained nurses to care for these special fragile children.
The growth has been remarkable and the impact on families has been huge while the need for funding continues to grow each year. The small, but wonderful staff who have volunteered countless hours and work harder than we could ever pay for remain the reason why A Rosie Place has become a gem in our community.
Medically fragile children and families deserve this support, but it is expensive, labor-intensive care and with more support and funding we will get better each year.

I've been volunteering with this organization for the last two years and it is an amazing program! Every time that I go, I can see how much the staff cares about each and every patient. It helps me see why I decided to be a doctor in the first place!

A great resource for our son, who has cerebral palsy. He loves the play groups hosted there.
1 person found this review helpful
Our son, Chaz, has autism, a seizure disorder and bronchopulmonary disease, so he needs constant supervision. The staff and volunteers at A Rosie Place are wonderful with him and always find ways to keep him engaged and happy. He comes home happy, talks about it for days, and can't wait to go again - "I wanna go A Rosie Place!" Is a common refrain at our house. I can give no higher recommendation than that we take him back without reservation every time he's able to go.

I'm a volunteer at a Rosie Place, and I absolutely love it! All the staff are so friendly, and the kids and families are so appreciative for everything that this organization does. The environment resonates care and compassion.

I have volunteered a few times at a Rosie Place and can't express enough how much the staff appreciated what I did. It is such an awesome organization and the community is truly lucky to have this available for the kids. It is an amazing place filled with love.

A Rosie Place has been a Godsend to our family. Our son requires 24 hour care 7 days a week, and most of the time we are up to the task, but we are often exhausted and feel guilty that we don't give his twin enough of our attention. Now, we are blessed to have the team at A Rosie Place that give us much needed respite care. We feel confident that he is well cared for in a beautiful safe place and we rest and refuel. This is a service that all parents of medically fragile children desperately need.
1 person found this review helpful
Until a little over a year ago, we had never been able to leave our severely autistic son with anyone other than family. Since we live hundreds of miles away from extended family, it meant we never got a break. Our son has a seizure disorder, has cerebral palsy and is also blind. Finding anyone to care for him is difficult if not impossible. It has been such a huge gift to know that at least once a year we can get a much needed weekend of rest. A Rosie Place is an amazing organization and we highly recommend it to anyone with a medically fragile child!

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
We have been so excited about the opportunities at a Rosie Place! Our family enjoys each of their Haven events, which includes our disabled children and their typical siblings. They organize play groups and encourage interaction through the events by connecting the parents. We have met and maintained many friendships since meeting at A Rosie Place, with people who understand our struggles of special needs children. It's comfortable, clean and very pleasant to be in their building, where we feel like we have been welcomed into the home of great friends. Can't say enough positive about the administration that keeps us up to date on services available in the community, truly cares about our children and takes the time to interact with all the little people in their house! So very grateful for the serving hands that make A Rosie Place a haven for those of us who really need it.

As a Certified Child Life Specialist, I believe A Rosie place is doing great things for the medically fragile community! Not only by giving families respite to enjoy a break from the every day care, but to spend time with their other children, to also hosting family gatherings and play groups!
A Rosie Place enriches the lives of children by adapting plays groups and activities to fit them best! I love A Rosie Place, it will forever have a place in my heart and I cannot wait to see them grow in the future!
ARP is for the kids!

Found a hypodermic needle by our television, after checking in took 20 minutes because no one was around and he struggled with the paperwork after he did come to the desk. We left within a couple minutes of entering the room because of the syringe.
The hotel was under renovations for very good reason! It was dark and smoky in EVERY area including the front lobby. You couldn't get away from it. The TV was broken (after the front desk lady upgraded our room because our other room's TV was also broken). We were probably the only ones there that night other than the guys working at and on the hotel you get what you pay for.
The fridge was missing from the room I waited a half hour to be checked in and the bed sheets looked like a coloring book
This motel was terrible! We came in late off our flight, to tired to look for other motel. Worst motel I have ever stayed at!
Well first of all. I got there and was not greeted...second he told me My card had declined which was sooo Incorrect. Then he says my room was down hall..no receipt or room number. The room smelled had bad odor....sheets was not clean., bathroom nice
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Food Safety and Inspection Service
[Docket No. FSIS-2013-0019]
Food and Drug Administration
[Docket No. FDA-2013-N-0494]
Draft Interagency Risk Assessment—
Food Safety and Inspection Service, United States Department of Agriculture; Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, Food and Drug Administration, HHS.
Notice and request for comment.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)/Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) are announcing the availability of the draft "Interagency Risk Assessment—Listeria monocytogenes in Retail Delicatessens." This draft quantitative risk assessment (QRA) includes an Interpretive Summary and a Technical Report. The purpose of the draft QRA is to evaluate the conditions, such as Listeria (L.) monocytogenes contamination of certain ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, for example cheese, deli meats, and deli salads; in the retail deli environment; in niches (a harborage site); or on incoming RTE foods, that contribute to cross-contamination and ultimately, to the risk of listeriosis. The draft QRA makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of some retail practices and intervention strategies in reducing the predicted risk of listeriosis from some RTE foods that are sliced, packaged, or prepared in retail delicatessens and consumed in the home.
Comments on the draft QRA should be submitted on or before July 12, 2013.
Comments to FSIS may be submitted by one of the following methods:
Instructions: All items submitted by mail or electronic mail must include the Agency name and docket number FSIS-2013-0019. Comments received in response to this docket will be made available for public inspection and posted without change, including any personal information, to http://www.regulations.gov.
Docket: For access to background documents or comments received, go to the FSIS Docket Room at Patriots Plaza 3, 355 E Street SW., Room 8-164, Washington, DC 20250-3700 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Comments to FDA: Interested persons may submit either electronic comments and scientific data and information to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments and scientific data and information to the Division of Dockets Management [(HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852]. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. Identify comments with the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

Supplementary Information
I. Background
Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a widely occurring pathogen that persists in agricultural, food processing, and retail environments. Ingestion of L. monocytogenes can lead to the development of listeriosis, which could cause septicemia, meningitis, encephalitis, spontaneous abortion, and stillbirth. Epidemiological data show that listeriosis has one of the highest hospitalization rates (approximately 95 percent) and one of the highest case fatalityrates (approximately 16 percent) among foodborne diseases in the United States (Ref. 1).
To reduce listeriosis, it is important to identify: (1) which RTE foods pose the greatest risk to public health, and (2) which changes in practices are critical for reducing the prevalence and levels of L. monocytogenes in these RTE products. Risk assessment is a decision-support tool that has been used to successfully accomplish these goals by prioritizing RTE foods according to risk and linking food safety research to changes in practices that will improve public health outcomes.
A 2003 industry survey of L. monocytogenes in RTE foods purchased at retail grocery stores showed a seven-fold higher incidence and level of L. monocytogenes in deli meats sliced and served in retail delis compared to those sliced and packaged in manufacturing plants (Ref. 2). A subsequent survey by academia yielded similar findings (Ref. 3). An FSIS risk assessment, using these data, predicted an estimated 83 percent of all deli meat-related listeriosis cases are associated with deli meat sliced and packaged at retail delis (Ref. 4). A Cornell University comparative risk assessment had similar findings (Ref. 5).
Cross contamination in the deli environment is thought to contribute to L. monocytogenes contamination of RTE foods, butlittle is known about the transfer of this pathogen from one surface to another in the retail setting. L. monocytogenes is present in the environment and can survive and grow in foods held at ambient and refrigeration temperatures. Therefore adequate preventive controls must take into account contamination as well as survival and proliferation of the organism. L. monocytogenes can contaminate foods via cross contamination from one product to another or through contamination from the environment, or both. FSIS and CFSAN (we) jointly developed a risk assessment to better understand L. monocytogenes transmission, survival, and growth in the retail environment and to evaluate how retail practices may impact public health. In 2009, the President's Food Safety Work Group identified this quantitative risk assessment (QRA) as a priority (Ref. 6).
II. Draft Interagency Risk Assessment—
The draft "Interagency Risk Assessment—Listeria monocytogenes in Retail Delicatessens" (Ref. 7-8) provides federal risk managers and the retail industry with a science-based decision support tool to evaluate the effectiveness of retail practices and interventions to reduce or prevent listeriosis associated with the consumption of RTE foods commonly prepared and sold in the delicatessen (deli) of a retail food store. It also examines how changes in current retail practices might further mitigate the predicted risk of listeriosis from these RTE foods. We conducted the draft QRA collaboratively, in consultation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and with input from industry, academic institutions, and consumer advocacy group stakeholders. It is available on FSIS's Web site at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/PDF/Interagency_RA_Lm_Retail_Report_May2013.pdf and FDA's Web site at http://www.fda.gov/Food/FoodScienceResearch/RiskSafetyAssessment/default.htm.
The draft QRA model has undergone an independent external peer review consistent with the requirements for peer review in the Office of Management and Budget's "Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review." Our response to the peer-review is available electronically on FSIS's Web site and FDA's Web site (Ref. 9).
The draft QRA answers the following three broad risk management questions:
1. What is the exposure to L. monocytogenes from consuming RTE foods prepared in retail delis?
2. What are the key processes that increase RTE foods contamination at retail delis?
3. How much is the relative risk per serving reduced according to specific risk management options?
The three risk management questions are very broad in nature, and we further refined them to a list of risk mitigations evaluated through scenario analyses within the QRA. We used specific risk management questions provided by federal partners and stakeholders to guide the simulation scenarios conducted with the QRA.
Specifically, the QRA model:
The QRA also estimates the risk of listeriosis from the handling and consumption of these products in the home. The QRA models two subpopulations: (1) The subpopulation with increased susceptibility (including neonates, older adults, and the immunocompromised), and (2) the subpopulation with decreased susceptibility (the general healthy population).
We coordinated with CDC and several universities to gather data for the QRA. Stakeholders also developed partnerships to fill the data gaps identified in a request for scientific data and information for the project (Ref. 10). In 2009, we held a public meeting to present the background and data needs for this QRA (Ref. 11) (transcripts are available in the FSIS docket room and on the FSIS Web site at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/PDF/Listeria-Transcript_062309.pdf). As announced by FSIS in theFederal Register(78 FR 23901; April 23, 2013), we will hold a second public meeting on May 22, 2013 to present the supporting data, modeling approach, and findings of the QRA. (More information about this meeting will be available on FSIS's Web site at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/news/meetings_&_events/.
III. Request for Comments
We invite comments on the QRA that can help improve:
We will review and evaluate all public comments on this draft QRA and make modifications to the assessment based on comments, as appropriate.

Skip to comments.Civics Test Which Will Blow Your Mind
Posted on 10/24/2007 5:31:40 PM PDT by WalterSkinner
A very frightening little test, if you have not seen it before--floating around the web and blogosphere...
..found on one of the more conservative blogs—PING
This isn't one where you are trying to figure it out, and BOOM out jumps a blaring, jeering devil figure - enough to give one a heart attack is it? Just checking. :)
Oh, worse!! Out jumps Hillary Clinton!
I passed the test!!
..the first one was a giveaway, but I thought it was worth looking at—as a warning...
..if anyone ever doubted what this woman is—a true Marxist...
A quisling, just like her husband.
Check this out
I wrote down D's on the first four questions on my notepad and I thought, ok some thing's wrong here. I answered the last two D's as well. Sure enough, all D's. LOL
I passed the test; one of those quotes is shown on my profile page.
Me too.
Not only is she an ideological left-wing extremist, but she is also a career criminal (both "white collar" and violent crimes).
Another Witch alert ping!
Halloween is next week though :))
I got 100%. right, of course (smile).
I got an 85%, missed nine. I'm sending it to my kids to see if they could better it.
A lot of the sets of answers for the hard questions had most that were obviously wrong leaving you with two possible.
The witch is Stalin's granddaugher. He's frying in Hell but he's smiling with pride at her! She learned her Marxism very well. May she lose in '08 worse than McGovern in '72.
They missed my favorite 1993 Hillary quote:
While promoting 'Hillary Care' she was challenged regarding the impact on Small Business, of funding mandatory Gov't Healthcare, to which she responded;
"We can't be responsible for every UNDERCAPITALIZED business."
As though a business is not viable if it can't fund her socialist agenda!
In a related matter:
Congress Critter Charley Rangel has proposed a 4% Tax surcharge on incomes above $150K.
I think he'll find the prospective victims of his proposal contributing 5% of their incomes to his defeat!
I have been indoctrinated by the main stream media...[swirly patterns before my eyes]...[hollow voice echoes, "Repeat after me...me...me..."]
...Hillary is a moderate
...Climate change is caused by human activities
...The United States is to blame for all the world's ills
...Ten percent (+?) of Mexico's population residing illegally in the Unit...[*SMACK*]. Undocumented immigrants are a boon to our country and are doing the work we won't do.
...free health care is every citize...[*SMACK*]...human's right
..."separation of church and state" can be found in the Bill of Rights (Amendment 1.25)
...John McCain is a real conservative

Classics On-Demand
How many of you have a subscription for WWE Classics On-Demand? I was thinking that if there are enough people interested, maybe we could make an official Classics On-Demand thread to discuss current programs and what not. So if you're interested, post in here!
Right now I'm watching The Monday Night War: Raw 6/16/97, and the main event is The Undertaker and Ahmed Johnson vs. Farooq and his Kama Mustafa (sp?). After the match Ahmed Johnson shockingly joins the Nation.

Skip to comments.Evolution debate persists because it's not science
Posted on 02/22/2009 10:58:04 PM PST by GodGunsGuts
click here to read article
That seems to be the normal progression.... But jeepers, the flaw is in the first step the expectation that sensory perception gives us an exhaustive picture of reality, and that reason itself has no limits. Both presuppositions can be shown to be false.
But if we want to embrace such notions, really, we're in tough "ontological shape" because our epistemology is faulty. As you point out, to reduce the world to the competence of the human intellect to make man the measure, in other words is to falsify reality. And thereby, to falsify one's own position in it.
I gather it is the persistent desire to live in untruth that causes one to suffer the second death....
Thank you ever so much for your beautiful essay/post, dearest sister in Christ!
I gather it is the persistent desire to live in untruth that causes one to suffer the second death....
There's an understatement if I ever heard one. ;)
Well no, and you're not living on shelf ice out-running polar bears to survive either. Which also has nothing to do with the price of eggs in China too.
The point is that seals intermediate limb is not a fully...
NO, the POINT is there's no evidence to suggest it's an intermediate limb other than your sheer conjecture!
The only thing "useless" is your strawmen arguments allmendream.
Can't you guys ever not misrepresent what someone says?
or not project, or not create endless strawmen...?
How about the evidence of how they walk on land and swim in water?
Obviously their limb is not of no use, as it was naively and ignorantly suggested an intermediate limb would be, it is of use both on the land and in the water.
But I see how a commitment to a preposterous model would enslave one to that dubious proposition.
You're the only one that came up with that useless strawman gem Einstein...I (and metmom) argued that there's no evidence suggesting it's intermediate in the first place, and nooooo, it's not evidence "how they walk on land and swim in water", after all WE use our limbs to walk on land and swim in the water, only the situation is in reverse, we do better our of water, our fingers and toes aren't webbed, etc. etc. etc.But this is certainly not evidence that ba-jillions of years ago we were water dwellers either.
But "no use", "useless"...all your silly constructs and no one elses...for instance, I think it makes a great flipper and is great for swimming.
But it sure doesn't do so good on land for much other than hobbling.
A seal has not gone the 'full flipper' route of the dolphin, nor does it have a fully terrestrial leg. A seal has a limb adapted for use on both the land and the ocean.
Obviously the survival of a seal is not detrimentally impacted by it having a limb that is neither fully a flipper of fully a leg. A seals survival is enhanced by it having a limb that is neither fully a flipper or fully a leg.
Do you ever fell like you're beating your head agaisnt a brick wall when you are trying to convince someone that you didn't say what they are convinced you said?
Earth to allmendream......
I never said that the limb was USELESS!!!!!! That's what YOU read into it. You have been informed of that several times and yet persist in believing that's what I said.
Reread the posts again and see what I said about it's functionality. I never said that an intermediate limb was useless; I said that it is not very efficient as a fully formed limb for either being a land dweller or a water dweller.
So, since you keep harping on the seals limb being an intermediate limb, what creature is the seal an ancestor of?
You in post #557: "but not all those *failed* plans need be fatal, as in the case of limbs developing to flippers. A limb going to flipper is not a serious enough failure in change that the individual would not not make it to birth. That is not a fatal birth defect.
But what good would a partially formed limb that is transitioning from leg to flipper be? It would be a liability to a land creature, leaving it more susceptible to injury and death as the land creature could not use a hybrid leg/flipper for locomotion very easily, nor could it use a hybrid arm/flipper to gather food."
Obviously a seal doesn't see the same problem in having a partial flipper partial leg that you do. And your later claim that I was the one that brought it up?
You in Post #640 "Nobody said anything about transitional limbs being useless either and yet you keep harping on that as if someone stated it. No one brought it up but you.
I said that a transitional limb does not function as well as a fully formed one for the purposes it's used for. A transitional flipper/limb isn't as useful for walking and running as a fully formed leg nor would it be as useful for swimming as a fully formed flipper. Watching seals lurch along on the ice demonstrates that."
But obviously a seal not swimming as well as if it had a fully functional flipper or walking as well as if it had a fully functional leg is not a detriment to seals survival. They both swim well enough and walk well enough to survive and thrive.
Doesn't seal survival demonstrate to you that your premise is fundamentally flawed?
If not then there is little sense one can impart to you.

Discardia: a prison only imagination can set you free!
Note: this is a review of issues 114 to 121!!
I'm a big fan of Willingham's Fables, read all the issues and what I admire the most is his ability for delivering excellent dialogues, intricating plots and pulverizing the characters into millions of emotional fragments. I do believe that this 8 part arc story succeeded partialy to mantain this title run as interesting, unfortunately it wasn't as good as Sons of the Empire (issues 52 to 59), The Good Prince (60 to 69) or Witches (86 to 93) and I think it's mostly because the writer decided to focus mainly this story on the wolf cubs, like the previous arc story Inherit the Wind (108 to 113). I believe all the elements that make Fables such a good title, quoted above, are present, but reading this story wasn't as great as the stories involving Fabletown or even specific characters, like Boy Blue or Flycatcher. It's not only because of the grim and dark notes Willingham imput to this arc story, but because I wasn't as thrilled reading about the wolf cubs while the other fables are picking on the pieces that Dark left. I'm much more interested in knowing more about how the fables are going to move on with their lives than what happened in this arc story. Also, it was such a long story, that could have been compressed easily into four issues, instead of eight. Adventure in the land of Discardia was a great idea, totally not what I was imagining to this story: when I heard "Toy land" I instantly thought of happy and joy, but Willingham sold only misery, broken promises, punishment and the ultimate sacrifice. Like I said, the great elements of the narrative are all present, the drama of the cubs, their parents, difficult decisions, growing up, sure all things that will have repercussions in future plots, but again, could have been done in less issues. This is not a vital arc story, in the meaning of entertainment, not to the plot, so I don't recommend it. Also the back up stories are no good.

So you can't eat gluten? Nourishing Quarter has you covered
Gluten is the protein found in wheat and alternative grains like spelt, barley and rye. With many Sydneysiders declaring a sensitivity to the protein or the more serious coeliac disease, the city's restaurants are quickly adapting menu items to suit their needs and some are even tailored specifically for the problem.
Gluten intolerance sufferers are mostly diagnosed as adults, so they have all had a taste of the good stuff. When you've sampled the fluffiest, tastiest, most gluten-filled pizza in the world, you're hardly going to be impressed by a rock-hard buckwheat option with the same toppings, now are you? For this reason the best gluten-free dining is about alternative ingredients being themselves, rather than trying to emulate the off-limits protein.
It's across the road from Time Out's meaty, wheaty fave Porteño and Nourishing Quarter couldn't be further from the popular Argentinean joint. Vermicelli noodles, chia seeds and quinoa (best friend of the gluten intolerant) feature heavily and there is no meat in sight. Miss Chu, the self-proclaimed queen of rice paper rolls, should watch her back – the 'Quarter's rolls ($13.50 for three) are tastier and the service is a helluva lot more smiley. The buckwheat noodle salad ($16.50) is a light and flavour-filled must, but the slightly soggy lemongrass vegetable dish is less appealing ($16.50).

Packers fans: Are you suited for reality TV?
Reality TV fans may be getting a dose of Wisconsin culture soon with a show focused on Wisconsin's faithful football fans. Apparently producers from the Style Network were in Green Bay on Friday looking for the most vivacious Cheeseheads to cast for a pilot to be filmed by the end of the year.
Packers wives are currently featured in "The Better Half" on WLUK-TV (Channel 11) in five Wisconsin TV markets, but the NBCUniversal-owned Style Network would bring Packer pride to a cable TV audience on the heels of shows like "Jerseylicious" and "Big Rich Texas." »Read Full Blog Post(3)

HARRISBURG - When it comes to selling alcohol in Pennsylvania, this much is clear: No one agrees on how best to do it.
That lack of consensus was on display Tuesday in the second of three hearings before the Senate Law and Justice Committee, which is considering a hotly contested bill to privatize liquor sales.
Witnesses represented sellers - beer distributors, supermarkets, hotels, bars, restaurants. Each wants something different from privatization, or "modernization," as some call it.
And from the questions asked, some senators are still struggling with how to change the system without jeopardizing the livelihoods of those who run their businesses according to current laws.

Kelp is perfectly paleo - eat, enjoy!
Kelp is perfectly paleo - eat, enjoy!
"... needs more fish!"
I'm very excited to try these. I ordered some from Amazon - a little more expensive, but free two day shipping for me as I have Prime.
Wag more, bark less
My favorite dish my whole life used tobe meat sauce on spaghetti noodles, rice or potatoes.
Since going primal I haven't made my favorite dish in 2 years!!! Because I don't eat those starchy staples anymore.
These kelp noodles have 0.1 gr of Carbs!!!!!! (they have to be listed as a whole number on Carb so it's rounded up to 1%.
Now I can enjoy my favorite dish with almost no carbs...how awesome is that?
Here is my BEST reference to be found on the subject of Iodine. This confirms what the Japanese get in Iodine from their seafoods.
Bottom line, 15 mg iodine a day from seafoods is ideal for health, by Dr. Michael B. Schachter:
PS) I got these noodles from iHerb for only $3 per 16 oz package with free shipping. Far less expensive than Amazon.
We have also tried them in our Turkey Stew. . . GREAT !
Issabeau, THANK YOU for starting this thread.
If they don't have any of the nasties that wheat noodles have, I'm more than willing to give these a go if I can find any. I did love pasta, but don't miss it that much. But if these work out then that's more variety for my diet.
Hello, does anyone know how long do they keep for in the fridge once opened? Should they be kept in water? If so, should the water be changed out daily (like you would for tofu)? Any info would be great!
You definitely CAN get too much iodine. And that can be its own problem. Just like all things, moderation is in order here, even for the good things. Just don't make 'em every night and tell the man to simmer down about his "spaghetti" cravings. I mean really... I think that ordering "replacement foods" like kelp noodles for recreating non-primal faves is kind of missing the point. You can do it every once in a while, but if you do it regularly, you aren't really getting out there and trying the tons of new food experiences you could be having by eating this new diet.
I wonder how seaside hunter/gatherers felt about iodine excess? I guess eating real food, straight from nature sorted itself out by itself without intervention from nutritionalist advice.
My sincere apologies if that seems to be confrontational, since I genuinely do appreciate anyone who has something good to say. I am a firm believer in eating real, whole food and leaving nature to sort out the contradictions for me.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Already suffering from the effects of a drought, Oklahoma's peanut crops were stunned by freezing temperatures over the weekend.
Now peanut farmers are rushing to harvest their crops earlier than normal, which could reduce the quality of the crops and the money in farmer's pockets.
"If it's a week or two weeks early all of that will have an effect on the pay check the farmer gets," Mike Kubicek, executive director of the Oklahoma Peanut Commission, said Tuesday.
Much of the state has recorded freezing temperatures the past couple of nights, said Wayne Ruff, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Norman.
In Mangum, the temperature was 19 degrees Sunday night. Near El Reno, temperatures dropped to 16 degrees then, Ruff said.
When lows are supposed to be in the mid 50s and highs in the mid 70s this time of year, a sudden cold snap can really hurt a peanut crop.
"This is one of the risks that we always face when harvesting time comes," Kubicek said.
Everywhere he has been, the peanut plants are black, which sounds the alarms for growers to harvest, Kubicek said.
"What it could mean is that we have a lot of peanuts that are going to be harvested a couple of weeks before they should be," he said.
That will affect the tonnage, the weight of the crops, and could affect the quality of the peanuts that are harvested.
Wayne Terry, manager of the Carnegie Peanut Co., said the cold ended the wait for peanut farmers.
"When Mother Nature comes in with something like that, it gets everybody ready," Terry said. "We needed another month to reach the maturity."
"Everyone who has a peanut digger is in the field today to salvage some of their crops," Terry said.
Both Kubicek and Terry predicted chaos at local co-ops as peanut farmers begin to bring their harvests in at the same time.
The buying points, the places where peanuts are delivered and processed, normally have a schedule for producers to bring in their crops so the buying points aren't overwhelmed, Kubicek said.

When to go to cardio for 2nd pregnancy
Comments (7)
They will probably schedule your first one at 18-22 weeks, and the second at 30-33 weeks. Just remember to give them a head's up at your next appointment! So far, my second baby looks HH. I wish you the same!
A and C 07/09/10
DSD 2002, DS (Our Heart Baby!) 2011, DD 2013
So far #2 looks hh for us as well, but ds looked fine at 20 weeks as well so I'm still really nervous. But also really optimistic, kwim? He started with aortic stenosis which is one of the things they said could show up later on.
exactly what the other posters said. At your first checkup with your OB for baby #2, they will ask about any complications/history/etc. Be sure to tell. They will put it in your chart.
My middle child had a VSD that require OHS. Hers was detected at 7 weeks and she was in heart failure, too.
My fetal echo and anatomy check for baby #3 was at 20 weeks. Everything was perfect ♥
I just had my 1st fetal echo last Friday at 21 weeks and I have another in a few weeks to double check.

Canadian Football League wide receiver Brad Smith will seek his soulmate as the star of The Bachelor Canada when it premieres in the fall.
The program will be modelled after the popular U.S reality show The Bachelor.
A statement from Rogers Media describes Smith as "driven, confident, candid and comfortable in his own skin."
It goes on to say he is attracted to women "who are independent, intelligent, and just as confident in a ponytail, sweatpants and sweatshirt as they are all dressed up for a night out on the town."
The 28-year-old athlete says he's "extremely honoured" to be chosen, adding that he takes the experience very seriously and believes in the process.
He has played for the Montreal Alouettes, Toronto Argonauts and most recently the Edmonton Eskimos.
Smith, the son of Senator Larry Smith, a former CFL Commissioner and former president and CEO of the Alouettes, is currently a free agent.
"Brad is the full package — a quintessentially Canadian, down-to-earth man," said Claire Freeland, director of original programming at Rogers Media and executive producer of The Bachelor Canada.
"He is completely committed to this experience and in it for the right reasons. It's Canada's turn to find love with The Bachelor Canada and we could not have hoped for a more well-rounded and genuine person to kick off the first season."
Additional details, including the identity of the host and the 25 bachelorettes, are still to be revealed.Report Typo/Error

Skip to comments.Iraq TV Shot Tape of POWs Lynch, Piestewa
Posted on 12/30/2003 6:28:04 PM PST by saquin
NEW YORK - Graphic video footage of a badly injured Jessica Lynch and Lori Piestewa, who may have died shortly afterward, was taken by Iraqi state television following the ambush of the soldiers' Army convoy, NBC reported Tuesday night.
The video, aired on "NBC Nightly News," shows the two Army privates at the hospital where they were taken following the March 23 ambush of the 507th Maintenance Co.
The tape was never aired in Iraq, NBC reported.
Piestewa, her face swollen and bruised and her head loosely bandaged, is shown as someone positions her feet, and then her head, for the camera shot. Her lip is shown curling back in an apparent grimace.
Lynch, 20, of Palestine, W.Va., is also shown bandaged, her lip cut.
Neither appears awake or alert.
"I haven't watched it," Piestewa's mother, Percy Piestewa, said when contacted by The Associated Press. "I don't want to talk to any reporters right now."
Telephone messages left with two spokespeople for Lynch's family were not immediately returned.
Iraqi doctors have previously said the women were brought to a private clinic following the ambush, and that Piestewa, a 23-year-old mother of two from Tuba City, Ariz., died half an hour later of severe head injuries.
Lynch and four other soldiers were rescued by U.S. special forces April 1, but 11 of their colleagues died during and after the ambush in Nasiriyeh.
Piestewa was the first U.S. female service member to die in the war.
The identities of Lynch and Piestewa were verified for NBC by Spec. Shoshana Johnson, one of the rescued soldiers.
"It was a little shocking to see Lori, but it also gave me a little peace to know that they tried, they did their best for her," Johnson, 30, of El Paso, Texas, told the network. "I mean, it was obvious they tried to bandage her up and give her medical care."
NBC told the Army it had obtained the tape before airing it so the families of the soldiers could be told first, according to MSNBC.com.
Defense Department spokesman Jim Turner said Tuesday night officials were aware of the Iraqi video, but had not seen it and did not have details about what it contained.
The United States repeatedly bombed Iraqi TV studios after they aired interviews with American prisoners of war. But this tape survived because an employee at the state network kept it at home, NBC reported.
No wonder why it was not shown!
I have never in my life seen a trauma patient treated with such disrespect. When I think of the care that I have given to trauma patient working as an OR nurse and an EMT the thing that sticks out the most about this film is the rough treatment of the cervical spine and her head. I have held manual cervical traction on patients with multiple skull fractures and it is much like trying to hold together a cracked egg. You have to maintain a head position very carefully in order not to cause further injury. This makes me want to puke.
I prefer your attitude. We embraced this mess by needing all these female soldiers because we don't have enough males who qualify.
I agree. The cervical spine injury is not the only problem. If a person has an occipital skull fracture any movement of the head can kill them instantly. Pulling their hair and driving their head into a pillow with a little bit of a shake as was shown with the obvious injuries that she had is much akin to violently shaking a baby.Those grimaces showed a deep pain response.
Just an impression, I'm not a doctor.
I saw the tapes. I'm sorry if you didn't catch my point. I cast no aspersions and honor all veterans. I would not let women fight until the last battle when no more men can answer the call. Call me what you will.
Happy New Year!!!
