Rival Dealer
Nobody makes electronic music swoon like Burial, who mixes sorrow and bliss in a subtle club sound that is both banging and bittersweet. The UK producer's legacy runs deep, lending emotional heft to a dubstep style others have made bombastic over time, and none of his more faithful followers manage to strike the same balance. Rival Dealer, Burial's fourth EP since his 2007 album Untrue, expands his palette of blacks and grays. The title track borrows color from neon-streaked Nineties drum 'n' bass, with a high-energy pace that still sounds haunted and forlorn. Earnest alien vocals (a sample sings "I'm going to love you more than anyone") set an emotive tone that carries through the lilting "Hiders" and "Come Down To Us," a 13-minute ode to the joys of sharing in bleary sadness. There's a heart beating in Burial's out-of-body sound, and Rival Dealer plays like an ashy memorial to a beat that lives on.

Traditionally the most common form of heart disease in the world and in Kenya has been rheumatic heart disease caused by bacterial infection and subsequent damage of heart valves through an indolent immunological process. This illness affects young children and adults with peaks at the ages seven years in children and young adults in their third decade.
However, as communities develop with improved sanitation and better medical services, a transition occurs whereby rheumatic heart disease is relegated to the background and coronary artery disease begins to rise. Kenya is in a transition zone where people are dusting off rheumatic heart disease in favour of coronary artery disease. The Vision 2030 will surely come with its fair share of spoils.
The Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi has been a regional pacesetter in the field of cardiology. With coronary artery disease continuing to affect more young Kenyans and the tide being on an upward surge, the Hospital continues to foster new technologies and therapies that have proved successful in other parts of the world.
For the first time, cardiologists at AKUH, N carried out a procedure known as Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS). As Dr Mohamed Jeilan, an Interventional cardiologist at AKUH, N described it, "After performing a coronary angiogram, using a key-hole technique, we introduced a tiny ultrasound probe into the inside of our patient's coronary artery and watched the moving images to assess the lining of the artery from the inside. The procedure allowed us to decide whether the inner lining of the artery had been damaged significantly and whether a stent should be placed in the artery to improve healing of the artery. This special catheter allows us to visualize the inside of the heart artery and take pictures which doctors can use to analyse the type and mechanism of narrowing in the artery.
This helps to determine the amount of blood clot in the vessel (heart attack occurs when a blood clot forms and occludes an already narrowed vessel) and the degree of narrowing caused by cholesterol deposition in the vessel. It also guides the doctor to establish the most appropriate method to treat the diseased vessel".
Dr. Mzee Ngunga, a Cardiologist at AKUH, N, explained, "For example if the vessel is not very narrowed and there is a lot of clot then the vessel can be treated with medicine that helps in the dissolution of the clot. The first patient for whom the AKUH, N cardiologists performed the IVUS procedure fell into this category. The advantage of this treatment approach is that the patient is saved the insertion of a stent (a small mesh tube that is used to treat narrow or weak arteries) and accorded the benefit of medical therapy."
"In the IVUS procedure, doctors use a wire which is advanced into the heart artery over a guide catheter. Over this wire the IVUS catheter is introduced into the diseased vessel. The tip of the catheter has a marker that acts as a guide. The second part of the catheter has an ultrasound probe that images the vessel to give an outline of the vessel including the cholesterol plaque, clot and any calcium in the vessel."
"The IVUS catheter comes at the most opportune time for clinicians at the AKUH, N because they will use this procedure to improve the treatment of patients with heart attacks. In addition they will utilise the same catheter to achieve good results when doing complex procedures which involves putting stents in the main vessel of the heart where placement of the stent with high accuracy is paramount."
Explaining the journey and history of the treatment of coronary artery disease, Dr. Mzee Ngunga said, "The traditional approach to the treatment of blocked and narrowed heart arteries is the use of bypass surgery. In this procedure that was first performed in the USA in 1960 the surgeon saws open the sternal bone to expose the heart.
He harvests veins from the legs and uses an artery on the chest wall to bypass the blockages by implanting new conduits directly from the aorta past the area of blockage. This way he creates a new vessel and leaves the old vessel as it was."
"This technique remains a great method to treat blocked or narrowed arteries but it cannot be performed immediately and completed in a few minutes as needed for patients with heart attacks. This is why we have percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This procedure was first performed by Dr Andreas Gruentzig in Switzerland in 1977. Since then it has advanced greatly and is performed in many hospitals by cardiologists around the world."
"This technique involves the use of 2-3mm wide and 100cm long catheters to access the heart through the great arteries and using razor thin wires to deliver stents to open the narrowed or blocked artery. Visualization of narrowing (s) or blockages is facilitated by use of X-ray and contrast dye to opacity the blood vessels. The other advantage of this technique is that most patients can leave hospital on the same day or on the next day. After the procedure the patient can walk around in an hour, or so without any discomfort in contrast to surgery where the patient is confined to the intensive care unit for up to one week."
"At the Aga Khan University Hospital we use the large artery at the wrist or the groin to access the heart arteries. This technique is done quickly and in the setting of heart attack we endeavour to complete the process within one hour to one hour and half after the development of chest pain."

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSWV Converting Road Signs To More Visible Font
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Dec. 29, 2013 3:30 PM EST
Updated: Dec. 29, 2013 3:38 PM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- West Virginia is working to make signs on interstate and U.S. highway routes more legible and visible.
During regular sign replacements, the Department of Transportation is installing signs that feature a font called Clearview.
DOT spokeswoman Carrie Bly told the Charleston Daily Mail that the font, in general, is easier to read.
So far, signs with the Clearview font have been installed along Interstate 77 north of Charleston and Interstate 64 in the Huntington area. The DOT began replacing signs along Interstate 70 in the Northern Panhandle this year. U.S. 50 is up next, followed by Interstate 79.
States must request interim approval from the Federal Highway Administration to use the Clearview font.

Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
This vegetable is a nutritional powerhouse with high amounts of vitamins A and C, along with B vitamins and minerals like calcium and potassium, making it a food that really belongs in your kitchen garden.
You can plant broccoli from seeds in spring and late-summer for a fall harvest. For a late-spring harvest, start the seeds inside about six weeks before the last average frost date for your area. If you want a fall harvest, start seeds indoors about 12 to 14 weeks before the first frost date.
Keep your planted broccoli seeds in a cool, dark place. The seeds spout best when soil temperatures are between 60 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. When the little seedlings emerge, place them under grow lights or on a sunny windowsill.
Once it's time to move the plants to the garden (after about four weeks), allow the broccoli to become accustomed to the outside light and temperature conditions gradually each day for about a week.
You can also start broccoli from transplants bought at a nursery, and plant them in spring a few weeks before the last frost date. That's how I grew this 'Packman' variety of broccoli last year in my garden.
Broccoli thrives in full sun, although it does like afternoon shade in very hot climates. These vegetables
grow best in a rich, fertile garden soil, so add 2 to 4 inches of organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure before planting. Fertilize your broccoli plants with a well-balanced organic fertilizer, according to the directions. Repeat as the plants begin to form central heads.
Space your broccoli plants about 18 to 20 inches apart. Here are four broccoli plants growing in a 3 feet by 3 feet raised bed in my garden last summer. Nestled alongside the broccoli plants are radishes, violas and carrots.
Although these are cool-season vegetables, my broccoli plants lived from late-spring until the fall. As with many broccoli varieties, once I picked the center head the plant produced small, flavorful side shoots.
A lot of people don't realize that when they eat broccoli, they are actually eating unopened flower buds. As the season comes to an end, the vegetable starts to flower and prepares to die. Here, you can see the broccoli plant in full bloom.
It was the end of the harvest, so I let my plants flower during the fall for the pollinators, as you can see here. But to prolong the life of your broccoli plants, always prune off the flowers as soon as they emerge during the growing season.
Can't get enough broccoli? Using row covers and hoop tunnels will help extend your harvest even longer into fall and early-winter, providing you with months more of this delicious vegetable to enjoy.

What can I say? I read the reviews. Ordered the product. Waited in anticipation and then...nothing. I'm underwhelmed. Pros: It has a nice scent. Cons: It's heavy. I have a lot of hair but it is very fine in texture. This weighed it down and totally made my styling fall flat...and greasy. I've found its best use for me as an overnight treatment. And even then the results have not warranted to price tag. I've been using it on my legs to at least get my moneys worth.2
I love using hair oil - this one keeps the hair really moisturized without looking greasy -- which is really hard for an oil to do. However, if my ends are really dry, this doesn't help as much (as say coconut oil). Also, it smells really nice so I always run my hands through my hair with a little of this every day.4
I got a couple samples of this magic potion, and now I'm hooked!
My scalp is really oily, while my ends are dry, so it's hard for me to find products that I can use all over. Usually I only put oils on my ends, but once in a while it's good to moisturize all over. I found this product to be so light-weight and perfect for my hair type. It really nourished and smoothed my hair without weighing it down and most importantly tamed down the frizz! – it smells really good too! I would recommend this to everyone. I figure it would work well on all hair types.
I can definitely vouch for this product! I have coarse, dry thick hair. For those who have it, you will certainly understand just how fragile this type of hair can be. The shaft of my hair was frayed and it felt wiry. This product has changed the condition and changed the texture of my hair. I use it 2- 3x per week for styling purposes. It leaves my hair with a wonderful shine and light perfumed scent. Also, a little goes a long way.5

The Free Press
At a time when American government and leadership sees so hopelessly lacking, it's informative to look back, 150 years ago today, when one of America's finest moments, produced by one of our finest leaders, occurred with enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Abraham Lincoln's amazing leadership and political acumen helped define the greatness that America and its form of government can produce.
Unlike too many politicians who let public opinion and political ambitions trump good policy, Lincoln worked tirelessly to end slavery, first through a presidential proclamation and later as he pushed ferociously for passage of the 13th Amendment to forever abolish slavery.
In the midst of a long and devastating Civil War, the proclamation was not popular. By issuing a preliminary text of the proclamation in the fall of 1862, just prior to congressional elections, Lincoln knew his party would take a beating -- and it did.
"Looked at coldly, the timing of the Proclamation amounted to political suicide: Lincoln was putting the most highly charged issue of the war before the voters, and the voters into the hands of the opposition, without any time for the shock to wear off," wrote Allen C. Guelzo in his book: "Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery in America."
Lincoln had shown similar courage in the face of political opposition that same year in a decision tied directly to Mankato and the plains of southern Minnesota. After 303 Dakota Indians had been condemned to death by hanging in Mankato following the war of 1862, Lincoln put a hold on the executions until he could review the cases.
Warned that commuting the sentences of any of the Dakota would be politically dangerous as there was a deep sense of vengeance in the Minnesota territory, Lincoln replied that he "could not hang men for votes." He commuted the sentence of 265 Dakota.
There remain critics who claim Lincoln was not personally sincere about emancipation, but that it was simply a convenient war strategy. But numerous examples show that was not the case.
Not only was he so adamant about it that he risked political disaster, he publicly and privately demonstrated his commitment.
When challenged by a delegation of Unionist Kentuckians on whether or not he was sincere in his emancipation strategy Lincoln is quoted as saying he "would rather die than take back a word of the Proclamation of Freedom."
And according to Guelzo's book, Lincoln had come to believe that emancipation of the slaves was God's will, and was demanded by the Declaration of Independence.
At a time when politicians in Washington can't even find a way to pass a budget, Lincoln's leadership looks particularly unparalleled.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry Potter has not had a good summer. Not only has he had to put up with his overbearing Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon Dursley and their dread of his magical abilities, but also it seems as if Harry's best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger have forgotten him, as they haven't replied to a single one of his letters. Then, suddenly and mysteriously, house-elf Dobby appears in Harry's bedroom and warns him of great danger if he should attempt to return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But despite the elf's mischievous efforts to thwart Harry's return to school, the ever-determined Harry is rescued from the Dursley's dreary clutches by Ron and his brothers and whisked into the warmth of the Weasley household. Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Harry finds that his first year heroics have caused him to become the center of much unwanted attention. His new fans include Ron's little sister Ginny; first year would-be photographer Colin Creevey; and most irritatingly, the New Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, Gilderoy Lockhart. Outshone only by his own vanity, Lockhart craves the attention that Harry shuns. But not even Lockhart can offer an explanation for the sinister new terror that is gripping the school.

The Moore American
MOORE — We've been feeding birds in our backyard for years and it is interesting to watch the different species and their individual personality traits surface as they munch on the grub we toss out daily.
The cardinals are very watchful; they turn their head at the slightest movement or sound.
The road runners are territorial even though they were the last group of birds to join our menagerie. They chase other birds away; wanting the food just for themselves.
The blue jays plop down out of the sky and just start eating. They are not bothered by anyone. They focus on the food.
This morning a blue jay came in for a soft landing. Unusual for this type of bird. Then, much to our surprise, it spread its tail feathers out like a peacock. We've never seen the inside feathers of a blue jay's tail before but it was absolutely beautiful. The markings were mostly blue with some white circles midway and it looked like God took a brush to detail small designs for our enjoyment.
"Wonder why they never show off their tails?" my husband asked. It is strange when you think about it that the blue jay has a tail nearly as beautiful as a peacock but it is rarely seen.
It would be interesting to discover how many beautiful attributes we have that we never reveal to others.
When I was a teenager, a man in our church was the best pie baker in town. He baked pies for every church social; for funerals; and for birthdays of those close to him. He used his talent to make others happy.
Hilda, one of the accountants in a large company I worked for until the company closed down, was a woman who kept to herself. One day we noticed two people give her bags. Without saying a word she just nodded her head.
The next day she brought the bags back to work and placed them on the desks of the men who gave them to her.
"Hilda, what are you doing?" A coworker asked.
"Just being a blessing," she responded.
"What do you mean?" the coworker inquired.
"Well, Albert and Jim are single and they don't know how to sew on a button when it falls off. My mother taught me how to sew on a button when I was five years old. She told me someday I'd sew on buttons for strangers and make them happy. Well, she was right. It gives me pleasure to do this small thing for two bachelors whose families live far away and they don't even own a spool of thread."
I wonder how many people around you share their secret talents with others? What secret (or maybe not so secret) talents do we have that we could share with others?
There's an old song that says it all: "Make Me A Blessing to Someone Today." Dear Lord, let this be our prayer.

It's the stuff of legends. You get a rock star, you get a Playboy model, you squish them together until they pop a hella beautiful baby. (Liv Tyler anyone?)
Sophie Simmons, the twenty-year-old offspring of Gene Simmons and his very lovely Playboy model wife, Shannon Tweed, has the mix of looks and musical talent — as well as brains — of her parents combined.
Simmons, a gifted woman with a Kat Dennings figure and a face-busting awesome grin, sat down and talked to PlayboyDotCom about learning to snowboard in Whistler, the highs and lows of reality TV, and growing up with Hef's kids.
Here's an excerpt of the article for your ogling pleasure:
Playboy.com: Your mom is a Playboy legend; what did she say about you speaking with us?
Simmons: She was excited. She really didn't want me to follow in her footsteps…like a spread [laughs] and I don't really want to do that either. So this is a good way of saying "I did it too!" but really didn't do it. [laughs]
Playboy.com: What was it like growing up so involved with Playboy?
Simmons: I grew up with Hef's kids — going to the same elementary and high schools; the boys are close to my brother. We go over to the Mansion every Easter and Fourth of July — my brother's been recently going to the, you know, lingerie parties. [laughs]
On what it's like to have Gene Simmons as a dad:
Playboy.com: Do you ever get tired of all the fame of being Gene Simmons' daughter?
Simmons: It gets annoying, but I'm my own person, I have stuff going on. It offers a lot of opportunities, and I'm really thankful for them, but I do a lot of things on my own as well.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 24 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by HiJinxs Best Hydration Belt So Far I was in the market for a new hydration belt when I came across this one. I received it quickly and found that a lot of thought was put into the design of it. Each bottle is sturdy, well made but squeezable. There are two pockets, one that closes with a zipper and another that has a Velcro closure. Either pocket is great for keys, money and/or ID. The belt can be easily adjusted to accommodate all sizes. It even has a Velcro tie back to collect and secure any excess belt strap for smaller waisted people. I love this feature since other belts I had required me to either tie back the excess strap or loop it around my waist, which inevitably came lose while running and annoyed me. July 8, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Tom Nathan Trail Mix 2 Hydration Belt This belt has worked great for the last half marathon that I ran. The belt did not bounce or become an annoyance at any time. It holds almost a full bottle of Gatorade or water. There is a back pouch that has a zipper so you can take your phone with you and a smaller Velcro pouch to hold gels. the back has ventilated padding which helps keep the heat down. Overall this has been a great buy for me and I would highly recommend the belt. This being said I have not ran with a camel back so I cant compare the pros and cons for which one to choose July 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by nursegirl10 Handy hydration Have only used once but itworked well during a half marathon race. To keep from hitting them with my arms I placed the water bottles in back. It was a little tricky reaching back to get them but I got better. Zippered pouch was nice to hold my keys and gu. I positioned the belt more around my hips. June 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mperoz Nathan Hydration belt Fitting was well designed and water bottles are very effective. May 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by twofortea Stable Hydration on the Go! I can't tell I'm really wearing this and there's no shake and sloshing when I run/walk fast. The downside is that I can't see how to expand to add more bottles and the storage pocket is a bit small. May 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Andy_71 Worth the money Got this belt for running in the heat and my longer runs (5 miles). Couldn't be more happy with it. Having adjustable belt was great, after a little playing around I got it set for my waist size 30/31 and have zero bounce. Bottles slip in and out without any issues and good design on nozzle, they open and close with no issues. Highly recommend this product. May 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ant great Bought it as a gift for my wife and she loves it.. May 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by kev2580 Great fit I was torn between this and the bottle with a hand strap, so glad I chose this one it fits great no bounce and the zippered pouch is perfect for a gel pack, keys and a cellphone or MP3 player. May 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by JennyP Great! Superb product for those longer runs! I was able to store my car key, iPhone and 4 GU packets in the pockets. The water bottles are snug, but easy to get in/out of the holders as you're running. No bouncing at any point! High quality hydration belt! May 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Runner Wannabe Works well It fits nicely with adequate adjustments. I am able to reach around for water bottles and even the zippered pocket with no problem. I have not used other belts to compare this one to, but I am satisfied with it. March 18, 2014

Melanie of Gluten-Free Krums and Avocado Artichoke Salsa
This post is linked to Simply Hot Recipes and Gluten-Free Wednesdays.
Several years ago I was happy to discover the book, Buddy, Bagels, and Me. Lovingly written and beautifully illustrated by Melanie Krumrey, it's her family's personal story on celiac and gluten intolerance. This book is aimed at children, but reviews said it was great for adults as well because it was written in plain, simple terms. I ordered it immediately for my support group. I was so very pleased when I received it. It's a totally lovely book that would be helpful to anyone, child or adult, who wants an inroduction to celiac/gluten intolerance. Then a little over a year ago, in my blog reading I followed one link and then another. Next thing I knew I was at the blog Gluten Free Krums. And, there on the sidebar was the book, Buddy, Bagels, and Me. It wasn't an Amazon store, just the one book. Hmmm, I thought, someone else knows about this great book. I clicked on the link and it took me to the Buddy, Bagels, and Me website. I Finally, I realized that I had happened onto the blog of the author, Melanie Krumrey herself. Gluten-Free Krums is a cute and clever play on her family's last name. I was so tickled to have found Melanie this way. I had to comment immediately and tell her how much I, and others, had enjoyed her book. I told her that my copy had "walked away" at some point and that I wanted to get another one. Well, next thing I knew Melanie had shipped me a new, complimentary copy. I admit that now I've "defaced" my new copy by writing our support group's name on the front—in the hopes that it won't walk away permanently next time.
I've adopted Melanie and Gluten-Free Krums this month as part of the monthly Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger event. Melanie's blog is a mixture of tales from her full life; Christian discussions; and recipes. It's warm and friendly, as is Melanie. She shares quite a lot on her blog … and there's a lot to share. After all, she's a homeschooling mother of two teenagers and a tween (yes, extra points are awarded there!), teacher to other children as well through a homeschooling program, minister's wife, and chef for her gluten-free family. Melanie's recipes tend to be what I consider "mainstream," gfe-type recipes—great recipes that make everyone happy. That means that most of her recipes are naturally gluten free, or just require a gluten-free flour mix and/or a few other specialty ingredients. And, her blog offers a good variety of recipes, too, which I love.
We all know I have a sweet tooth and while Melanie has plenty of recipes in that category, I was looking for something in the veggie or entrée category. Perusing her recipe index, I came across Avocado Salsa. A recipe that she said she got from her sister, every ingredient is real food. I've been going through the after-work "I want something to eat now" malady of late. This recipe seemed like a great way to satisfy that need while keeping me away from sweets (even gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free ones). The fact is that when I eat good fats—the kind that make up avocados, nuts, olive oil, and such—my cravings are satisfied and the "ache" of the sweet tooth subsides.
As it turned out, I didn't get to make this salsa until much later in the evening–for a very late dinner. I wanted to go the extra mile and add in another veggie, perhaps eating this salsa using some thick cucumber slices as my "chip," but an actual tortilla chip was needed for proper scooping. Of course, I loved that little bit of salt and texture contrast the tortilla chips added. (Crackers would also work well with this salsa.) I ended up making a few other changes to Melanie's recipe. First, my local store was out of canned green chilies, so I finely chopped a few artichoke hearts and added those instead. I skipped the apple cider vinegar, because I think the artichoke hearts, even unmarinated, add a slightly acidic taste. So the salsa wasn't particularly spicy or strong in taste, except for the little bite imparted by the green onions, but it was definitely flavorful. Mr. GFE was devouring peel-and-eat shrimp beside me as I prepared this salsa, so I grabbed a few for a colorful and tasty garnish. (Shrimp makes just about every dish better, right?) I did really love this salsa. It's gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, and vegan (when you don't add the shrimp). Plus, it comes together quickly (no food processor needed) and it's delicious and totally satisfying. We ended up eating our entire meal while standing at the kitchen counter and it was probably our best one this week!
Many other recipes of Melanie's are calling my name, too. The top three (at the moment) are: Tropical Pops (including one called Chunky Monkey … hello! having an excuse to create those makes these 90-degree days worthwhile), Black Bean Dip (some goat cheese versus dairy feta and I'll be in business), and Thai Chicken and Rice (such an easy dish, but you can tell it will be full of flavor).
Please head over to Melanie's blog and see all that she has to share. You can check out her recipe index here.
Finally, remember that Iris (The Daily Dietribe) will be posting the roundup soon. She adopted Amy of Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free and made a wonderful chicken dish of Amy's. You can check that out here.
You may be interested in my previous adoptions: Pete and Kelli Bronski of No Gluten, No Problem and Kate Chan of Gluten Free Gobsmacked. And, the person who got it all started for me was Alta (Tasty Eats At Home), when she graciously adopted me a few months back. You can see her tantalizing renditions of my pound cake and chicken tenders here. Of course, don't forget that Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger is the brainchild of the adorable, Sea, over at Book of Yum. She's juggling more food intolerances than ever these days with Baby Yum, but you'll still want to make every single recipe she features on her blog. Consider joining in Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger next month. It's a great push to make your favorite bloggers' recipes and share with all!
Not exactly adoption related (although Amy is definitely always taking folks under her wing and giving them their moment in the spotlight) but Amy is one of eight finalists—and the only gluten-free blogger—in the Foodspring.com blogger contest! Each blogger had to write about his/her most exciting food experience. You can read all the entries and vote here. The deadline is Sunday, June 6. I hope you'll decide that Amy's entry is the winning contribution! Imagine all the celiac/gluten intolerance awareness Amy's win could bring, and if you know Amy, you know she's more than deserving of this award.
The 30 Days to a Food Revolution event is wrapping up today over at Diane's (The Whole Gang). These bloggers have all greatly inspired me with their personal stories, tips, and recipes! Today's featured blogger is Anna Helm-Baxter from Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution team. As Diane shares, Anna worked with Jamie on the Food Revolution show in Huntington WV, and has done freelance work for Jamie for several years. Anna also writes her own blogs, Sweet by Half and Londie Foodie in New York. Please check out her guest post over at Diane's here. I hope you've been able to read every post for this event. If you're behind on reading, please take the time to catch up. It will be time well spent; I promise you. Also, please don't forget to sign Jamie's petition if you believe that U.S. school children should be eating the best food; i.e., real food versus heavily processed foods laden with everything but nutrition. Jamie's goal is 1 million signatures and, so far, 599,000 folks have signed the petition. You can sign the petition here.
Finally, the winner of the Carrabba's gift card giveaway is up on my Out and About page. See if you were the lucky one here.
So much good stuff on this first Friday in June … enjoy!

Just wanted to let you know…had a hankering for an unusual but healthful snack yesterday, and I was organizing my pantry. Came across a can of chickpeas, so I clicked up your blog entry and roasted them up with some cayenne, curry, and pink salt. Lovely! I decided that I'd make them again some evening accompanied by a chilled, oaky Chardonnay. (And I just noticed that your LinkWithin widget has the recipe post up with this post! LOL!!)
Shirley on June 4th, 2010 11:19 pm
Hi Nance–Oh, that's terrific that you made the roasted chickpeas and enjoyed them! Brilliant idea on pairing them with such a Chardonnay. I can't wait to make them again just so I can sample that combo. I just won't be able to eat that meal for breakfast.
The Linked Within function sensed it was you, Nance!
Looks delicious! I've been to Melanie's blog, but I think I have to go check it out again now! I agree with you that when I add more healthy fats in, I find myself able to resist those sugar cravings more.
Shirley on June 4th, 2010 11:33 pm
Hi Iris– I do hope you will get a chance to check out Melanie's blog some more. She really has some nice recipes that everyone can enjoy.
It's good to know that I'm not alone as far as the healthy fats factor. I suspect that part of this has to do with really going for the fat in the sugary items as well as sugar. I know that many sugary items I have eaten contain a good portion of fat, too. And, certainly not the good kind of fat in those cases. So the healthy fat satisfies that craving, plus I don't want more. Foods with unhealthy fat and sugar just make me want more of them.
I'm definitely going to have to check out that recipe! Looks great.
Shirley on June 4th, 2010 11:39 pm
Alta–Thanks! Melanie's avocado salsa is terrific and so easy to make.
Shirley! I already felt "adopted" by you – WAY before you posted this!
Thanks so much for featuring me and my book, and for making me sound so wonderful.
I'm sitting here eating guacamole as I write! I gotta have those healthy fats, too!
Shirley on June 4th, 2010 11:52 pm
Hi Melanie–Awww, that's a nice thing to say. I'm so glad you enjoyed my post. It was certainly my pleasure to share your wonderful book and your blog that offers so much! And, hooray for avocados and their healthy fat!
I was so happy that I was able to share our bees' honey with you—something that made you as happy as I was having another copy of your lovely book!
And you forgot to mention the "homemade honey" you sent me in exchange for the book! SUCH a treat!
Hey Shirey… Just seeing those shrimp made me crave seafood! They look delish! Conveniently enough, I've got a slow cooker tilapia going right now, with a spicy tomato broth over Jasmine rice. Can't wait for dinner!
Cheers, Pete
Shirley on June 4th, 2010 11:57 pm
Hey Pete–From one seafood lover to another, I think ALL shrimp look delish, don't they? Slow cooker tilapia sounds fabulous, especially as you described. We ate out this evening and I had to decide between tilapia and salmon. Salmon won out … I was craving it, but tilapia is hard to resist.
I am so glad that you introduced me to Melanie! I have seen the name around (I think on Facebook…) but am thrilled to have the connection here. The dish you made looks fabulous.
And, thanks for mentioning the contest. Just a couple more days…it would be so neat to win. Regardless, your support means more than you'll ever know.
Shirley on June 5th, 2010 9:01 am
Hi Amy–Melanie is a real dear. I'll be having more of this salsa as my lunch today and I'm really looking forward to it! I'd love to make a dairy-free version of her Chunky Monkey popsicles, too.
Tomorrow is the final day for the Foodspring contest–very exciting! I'd be having a hard time breathing I think. LOL I'm truly happy to be able to spread the word, Amy. Whatever the outcome (fingers and toes crossed LOL), I am so very proud of you!
Hi Shirley, Where do I find information about the Adopt a Gluten Free Blogger?
Shirley on June 7th, 2010 6:02 am
Hi Chaya–You can always find the info on who is hosting each month over at Sea's Book of Yum. Of course, this month, Iris (The Daily Dietribe) is hosting. Her roundup should be up shortly and I expect she'll also announce next month's host. BUT, if you are looking for the basic gist and rules of the event, read here. It will be great if you can join in this event!
Chaya on June 9th, 2010 10:32 am
Thanks Shirley. I will follow the links. Links make this so easy, don't they? What did we do before the Internet besides having spare time?
Shirley on June 9th, 2010 5:13 pm
Chaya–You're welcome! Yep, links are very handy. I don't think I've ever had such a thing as spare time … even before the internet. There's just a tendency to fill up that thing called spare time with the "occupation" of the day: teaching (long ago for me), child rearing, support group leading, and blogging. Well, actually I remember a lot of magazine reading back in the day, but I don't miss it. LOL
This sounds wonderful! I will definitely be adding this into my rotation. It's very true that sometimes just a small amount of healthy fats can quell sugar cravings. (Other words-10-12 almonds or so, not a whole container
I'm also a fan of thickly sliced cucumbers as "chips"-I find English cucumbers seem to hold up better.
Can't wait to try this!
Shirley on June 7th, 2010 6:10 am
Hi Erin–I do find that when I'm eating healthy, the 10-12 almonds are just the right amount. I adore cucumbers and do prefer the English cucumbers. They are great for simply munching or dipping (they are firmer it seems being almost seedless), but I admit these cucumber libations look amazing).
Enjoy your avocado salsa rendition when it comes time!
That recipe looks delicious. What a great summer dish. Thanks for introducing us to Melanie. I visited her blog briefly and will go back when I have more time. It's always fun to meet someone new.
Shirley on June 8th, 2010 9:54 pm
Hi Linda–Thanks! Yes, it's both quick and tasty. Melanie is a sweetheart and her recipes are usually ones I want to try right away.
I plan on sharing this post for Gluten-Free Wednesdays.
I am making this for lunch today! I bought an avocado yesterday with the intention of making guacamole – this recipe will be perfect! And thanks for the reminder about eating healthy fats. Our culture has given "fats" such a bad rap that it's almost been brainwashed into us that avocados are fattening. Pshaw! They are a great source of healthy fat, not to mention delicious. And thanks for introducing us to Melanie at Gluten Free Krums. Good to make her acquaintance, too!
Shirley on June 9th, 2010 5:09 pm
Hi Ellen!–I hope you made Melanie's salsa and enjoyed it! It's fun to have avocado in a non-traditional, but still delicious way, isn't it? I confess, I normally just eat part of one with knife in hand, but I really enjoyed this recipe.
Glad you agree on the healthy fats. Nothing makes me run faster than a product that's labeled fat free or low fat. Now if it's a real food that's naturally fat free or low fat, that's a different matter completely but fat free and low fat products are similar to many gf products in that they are often not healthy for you. Real food always wins out in these categories IMHO.
It was my pleasure to introduce Melanie. Thanks for stopping by, Ellen!
French Meadow Bakery is having a Gluten-free recipe contest And I thought you and your readers might be interested! The winner gets French Meadow Gluten-free products for year, plus a gift card!

To go with Afghanistan-election-rights-women,FOCUS by Hamid Fahim This photograph taken on May 14, 2014 shows Afghan taxi driver Sara Bahai, 40, giving her adopted daughter a massage at her residence in the northern town of Mazar-i-Sharif in Balkh province. When Afghan taxi driver Sara Bahai has male passengers in her cab, she takes the chance to lobby them on female rights -- and she hopes the country's next president will also listen to her arguments. Bahai has been driving the streets of Mazar-i-Sharif city for 10 years, during which Afghanistan has experienced huge changes, including limited improvements in the lives of many women after the harsh years of Taliban rule.

Inside the Illinois Capitol, not far from the Nativity scene and the atheists' display, is the handle from Michael Tennehouse's pool skimmer. It's now being used for a loftier purpose -- as a Festivus pole where believers can list their grievances and fight until someone pins the head of the household to the floor.
Festivus got a big laugh on "Seinfeld," but some aren't laughing now. The chairman of the Nativity Scene Committee says "it's a mockery." The atheists point to it as an example of what happens when the state starts creating forums for religion. Tennehouse is 18. He says he put up the pole partly because he's off from school for three weeks and got bored.

Microsoft may be planning to invest between $1 billion and $3 billion into Dell as part of a leveraged buyout that would take the company private, CNBC reported Tuesday.
The report claims that Silver Lake Partners is acting as matchmaker, negotiating an investment between Dell and a special committee representing Dell's shareholders. The Wall Street Journal confirmed CNBC's report, suggesting that any Microsoft investment could be on the order of a couple billion dollars. Microsoft and Silver Lake's relationship dates back to May 2011, the WSJ reported, as the equity group architected the $8.5 billion deal for Skype.
Dell has been said to be negotiating a deal that would take the company private, valued at about $23 billion to $24 billion. Under the new ownership, Dell would be owned by founder Michael Dell as well as Evercore Partners and Silver Lake, according to Bloomberg. Mr. Dell himself owns about 15.7% of the company's shares, worth $3.45 billion at today's deflated prices.
Dell, of course, made its mark by stripping costs out of the PC supply chain and persuading customers to pay up front for a personal computer that it hadn't even built yet. Over time, however, the trend of PC commoditization it helped establish caught up with the company, and the balance of power in PC manufacturing has swung toward Asian countries with lower labor costs.
Microsoft, of course, is facing its own pressures, as customers shift away from Windows and to smartphones and tablets. Under this scenario, one analyst explained, Microsoft would essentially be buying a customer base. And with $5 billion in cash on hand at the end of the September quarter, Microsoft could theoretically afford it.
"Microsoft, with a $3 billion investment, would get a certain amount of control and influence over Dell," wrote Patrick Moorhead, a former corporate fellow with AMD and now principal of his own analyst firm, Moor Insights, in an email. "Dell has pulled back from the PC business as of late and that is not good for Microsoft as its cash cow is Windows. An investment of this size could guarantee a longer term Windows customer."
Dell, unfortunately, has never had much luck in either tablets or smartphones. After periodically trying and failing to launch a tablet and phone, the company has always returned to its bread-and-butter product: the PC.
It's not hard to believe that Microsoft might also be trying to pursue the sort of deal that brought Motorola under Google's fold. Ironically, Google has done everything but tap into Motorola's manufacturing; the word was that Google bought Motorola for its patent portfolio, and every Nexus device that Google announces without a Motorola logo on it gives more credence to that theory.
Today, however, Dell is more than just an expert in cost-cutting; the company has been working hard to beef up its services business. And cost-cutting is a service: in a meeting last week, Tracy Davis, vice president of Dell's data-center solutions group, explained that if customers wanted to build Open Compute servers based on the Common Slot or "Group Hug" board, they should turn to Dell – the only company with the global supply-chain expertise to search out the best deals.

FYI, if you are running Leopard or Snow Leopard, Apple's built in fax software will archive faxes to a folder AND email them as PDFs to any number of email addresses.
Lots of great features including ability to archive sent/received faxes. No more need to keep up with 20+ office fax machines! Big savings overall (cost of equipment, warranties, supplies, etc vs. cost of 4-Sight fax software).
$495.00 ..... ! did you mean $ 49.00.
or dose it come with an Mac Mini..??
Good, but prohibitively too expensive. Something about a RealBasic application costing tens of thousands of dollars just seems a little out of scale. One can lease a Canon or Xerox for less than the single line version of this and have most of the same options.
Wow, I could buy about 60 fax machines for the price of their most expensive "license."
Yes, you could, but there are really nice options for business users that make it very attractive. Cheap fax machines do not turn the fax into a pdf or e-mail them or the whole host of options you can do with them. Bigger companies like Xerox and Canon charge ten times that for some of their features. I am not completely sold on their support, but their product is still best of breed, not to mention offers not just a Mac client, but a Mac-based server as well.
It is easy to balk at $600, but consider what people spend for items that they use everyday in the office... $10k or far more if it is a color copier, $1100 for Quark or $1200 for the Adobe CS Suite, $1000 for OSX Server, not to mention the cost of the machine and the list could go on endlessly. Value is something each of us has on things, but remembering that what you may value as trash, others may see as the golden treasure they have been searching for for a long time.
Okay, I stand corrected. I misread their pricing (somehow got upgrade pricing). Their pricing, though okay for large businesses makes it a little hard to justify. Yes, best of breed, but by the time you add the options that make it best of breed, it almost equals the cost of a low-end document management solution from the bigger boys. The plus side is that it is on the Mac. If it only took a quarter of the time it used to to develop with RealBasic, it might be nice to have a break in price, so that more people can afford it, thus still making you money. If it is more affordable, a lot more people would consider this...

Faculty Profile: Gina Mireault
Gina Mireault seems to have a gift for finding the right path, even when she isn't sure which way she's headed. She went to college thinking she'd be a biology major but discovered a passion for quantitative psychological research that led her all the way to a Ph.D. in psychology at UVM, where she began research in the area of childhood parental loss. (Her work in this field has gained national attention and was the source of much of Hope Edelman's book on early mother loss.) While in graduate school, Gina discovered another passion — teaching — and has been thrilled to be able to combine both in her career at JSC.
In addition to helping her students find the right paths for themselves in the behavioral sciences department at JSC, where she's been a faculty member since 1992, Gina has continued to discover new avenues of research that keep her energy levels high. An interaction with one of her own children sparked an idea for her next research project — the development of humor in children. Gina says that milestones marking this development should be the same across cultures, so her research is assuming an international scope, taking her to places like Scotland and Iceland.

Microsoft has loosened the sash on its kimono and given us a flash of what Windows 8 will look like. And the answer is...
Sorry, just lost my train of thought. What was I saying? Winwhat? Oh, right. That old desktop operating system. I remember it now.
Microsoft has posted the first of what will be a series of videos previewing the next version of its flagship OS -- what it calls the "re-imagining of Windows."
[ Want to cash in on your IT experiences? InfoWorld is looking for stories of an amazing or amusing IT adventure, lesson learned, or tales from the trenches. Send your story to firstname.lastname@example.com. If we publish it, we'll keep you anonymous and send you a $50 American Express gift cheque. ]
Forget PCs. Though Win8 can run on a desktop with a keyboard and a mouse, it's very much oriented toward your fingers. Think touchscreen tablet. Actually, think Windows Phone 7 on steroids. Instead of six colorful tiles you tap to get at your games, apps, email, Facebook, and so on, you get nine at a time (an increase of 50 percent!).
The tiles are live, so they update automatically when, say, there's a new email or tweet you need to ignore. There's a feature called Snap that lets you "snap" one app into place next to another app. To cycle quickly through your open apps, just swipe your finger to the left. To open the control panel, drag your finger up from the bottom. And so on.
It will run all your old Windows 7 programs, plus a plethora of new apps they plan to build just for Win8. And it will work with low-power ARM processors as well as the usual Intel and AMD suspects.
Is Win8 a radical departure from previous desktop versions of Windows? Yes. Does it look cool and groovy. Yes. Is this just a demo? Yes. Then again, Microsoft managed to make Vista look cool and groovy in the demo.
Remember "The Wow starts now?" The Wow never started. The Wow was a cow.
Microsoft's problem is this: Even if Win8 ends up being great, it's probably too little, too late for most of us. Microsoft stopped steering the tech innovation train a looooong time ago. It's spent the last 10 years riding in the caboose. Now it's outside the train, running as fast as it can to catch up. Windows 8 won't change that.

The Montrose School will reopen in 2013 as a school for special education students. South Orange - Maplewood Board of Education President Beth Daugherty annouced on Monday night that the school, closed this year, would be renovated and then reopen. Part of that work will include a new parking lot.
"Whether we lease it or do it [special education programming] in-district is a decision we still need to make," said Daugherty.
She spoke in response to Jennifer Cicenia's questions about why the school is going ahead with construction of a new parking lot -- scheduled to begin in October -- when there has been no announced purpose for the building.
Cicenia noted that neighbors of the school, such as herself, had "almost no notice" of the proposed parking lot before the South Orange Planning Board meeting where it was discussed. The parking lot plans call for the removal of three trees. The lot will be on the right side of the building.
"What is the point of doing work," asked Cicenia, "when there has been no purpose for the school, at least nothing we've been told."
The Montrose Alternative Program moved out of the building in June.
Cicenia worried that the school won't be well cared for. "It's very messy back there," she said, referring to the abandoned community garden.
Daugherty said the district will continue to maintain the building and grounds while work is done this year.

Running Backs
Young Broncos Runners Hillman, Ball Experiencing Growing Pains
Denver's young running backs Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball want to atone for their big blunders when the Broncos host the St. Louis Rams on Saturday night in what's essentially the final dress rehearsal for the regular season.

Willis McGahee knew when he showed up at minicamp this week that he faced long odds of keeping his starting job since the Denver Broncos had used a high draft pick to select a running back for the second straight season.
Hillman Loses Grip On Ball, Backup Job
Denver coach John Fox makes it pretty clear: running backs have to hold on to the ball to hang on to their jobs. Rookie Ronnie Hillman is just hoping he's not in the Broncos' doghouse as long as Knowshon Moreno was.

It is a terrific idea, and no, one does not need an iPhone. (This post is a description of yet another useful task to which one might apply an iPhone). Such scanning can be done with a cheap and cheerful flatbed scanner, or even a digital camera. Many digital cameras, in fact, have a "scene" or "program" setting for macro and/or documents. I have done it with various Canon and Olympus point-and-shoot cameras and Micro Four Thirds cameras. An iPhone is simply more convenient because it is always in your pocket wherever you are, and there are apps for it. I have used a free app with my iPhone for this purpose.

The Most Important Functions of a Tablet Collaboration / Communication App
I am wondering if I may get some feedback on the most important functions of a tablet communication/collaboration app? We have just launched our NetConference app for iPad and it has more features than all of the other products combined. I am writing our promotional commercial for this product over the holidays and looking to outside groups to help me know what I should feature most in a commercial.
For example, of these features, which would you think is most useful?
8 People on Camera and VoIP
Shared Video on Demand to watch videos together
Shared Media on Demand to review Powerpoint, Word, PDF, Excel and Jpgs together
Multiperson Chat
Multiperson Whiteboard
All of your presentations stored in the cloud for instant access
or the Ability to host the conference from your iPad?
I really appreciate any feedback on this! When you have dreamed it all up and built the product you fall in love with your features.... and then you do not know what others find most valuable.

The word "radiance" (apaugasma) is used only here in the NT. In Philo it was used of Christ's relationship to God in the sense that the logos was a reflection of deity. The early Greek church fathers used it in the sense of Christ as the reflection or effulgence of God. In a popular sense to see Jesus is to see God, as a mirror reflects the light of the full sun. The Hebrew term "glory" (kabod) was often used in the sense of brightness (cf. Exod. 16:10; 24:16-17; Lev. 9:6).
This phrasing may be related to Pro. 8:22-31, where "wisdom" (the term is feminine in both Hebrew and Greek) is personified as God's first creation (cf. Sirach 1:4) and agent of creation (cf. Wisdom of Solomon 9:9). This same concept is developed in the apocryphal book Wisdom of Solomon 7:15-22a and 22b-30. In v. 22 wisdom fashions all things; in v. 25 wisdom is pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty; in v. 26 wisdom is the reflection of eternal light, a spotless mirror of the working of God; in v. 29 compared with the light (i.e., sun and stars) she is found to be superior.
In the OT the most common Hebrew word for "glory" (kabod) was originally a commercial term (which referred to a pair of scales) which meant "to be heavy." That which was heavy was valuable or had intrinsic worth. Often the concept of brightness was added to the word to express God's majesty. He alone is worthy and honorable. He is too brilliant for fallen mankind to behold. God can only be truly known through Christ (cf. Jer. 1:14; Matt. 17:2; Heb. 1:3; James 2:1).
The term "glory" is somewhat ambiguous:
1. it may be parallel to "the righteousness of God"
2. it may refer to the "holiness" or "perfection" of God
3. it could refer to the image of God in which mankind was created (cf. Gen. 1:26-27; 5:1; 9:6), but which was later marred through rebellion (cf. Gen. 3:1-22).

The 250 businesses of Belmont Shore will have a new team of leaders as of Tuesday, but they're all familiar names, starting with Polly's Gourmet Coffee owner Mike Sheldrake.
At the annual Belmont Shore Business Association's election meeting Tuesday, the board of directors was elected by the membership, and the board then chose its executive board for the 2012-2013 terms.
Sheldrake, now president, sat down with Patch back when he was VP of promotions for the BSBA, and shared why Polly's is special, and his approach to being what feels like a personable small town business.
I tell my staff ... the product we're selling is how you feel when you walk in the building. And that's what the independent operator can provide against the chain store, because we try to personalize the experience for each individual customer," Sheldrake told Patch a year ago today, Sept. 25.
"It's also important to be part of the community," he added.
(Read more about him here).
Dede Rossi, executive director of the BSBA, sent the results of the association election. The board of directors serve two-year terms, and the executive board members serve one year:
Frank Colonna - Colonna Realty 2011-13
Stacia Hanley - Frosted Cupcakery- VP of Promotions - 2011-13
Eric Johnson - Legends - 2011-13
John Morris - Legends - 2012-14
Matt Pederson - Legends - 2012-14
Alexis Rabenn - Quinn's Pub - 2012-14
Lisa Ramelow - La Strada - 2011-13
Mike Sheldrake - Polly's Gourmet Coffee - President - 2011-13
Dave Shlemmer - Shlemmer Investments - VP of Finance - 2011-13
Joy Starr - The Rubber Tree - Secretary - 2012-14
Richard Stahl - Union Bank - Treasurer - 2011-13
Tula Trigonis - Salon Soma - 2012-14
From the BSBA's mission statement, also included on Tuesday's announcement:
The purpose of the Belmont Shore Business Association is to form a common bond among business owners located in and around the Belmont Shore area whose goals are to promote, protect, and maintain prosperity for the Belmont Shore Community. This association is for its members and the immediate community, providing a united front to express opinions, protect tranquility and promote a better understanding among merchants, institutions, professionals, as well as residents.
