And the third trimester comes roaring in.
November 14, 2011
It has arrived. The third trimester is here and, much like my first pregnancy, it's like my body wants to make sure I'm aware. From week 26 to 27, I have gone from a happy-go-lucky 2nd trimester-glow pregnant lady to a moody, reflux-y ticking timebomb. It's a bit overwhelmingly, honestly.
Not that things are that different. I haven't started swelling (yet) and it's not like my belly grew noticeably in the last week or made my waddle more pronounced, but something has changed, that I'm sure of.
I'm finding my patience with, well…everything… much shorter. Irrationally angry thoughts run through my head when people get in my way or slow me down. Then I'll read a story about a lovely birth experience or cute-kid moment on some mommy blog and tear up like a sap. Then my husband will dare to ask me something crazy, like, "What do you want for dinner?" and I'll suddenly snap in annoyance. "I don't care. I'm just HUNGRY."
Beware the wrath of Jo.
Last night, I went to bed in a huff. My husband had passed out on the couch early in the evening and when I woke him to go to bed, he sort of zombie walked into the bedroom, fell on his face, and passed out cold. Normally this wouldn't matter in the least – what do I care if he's asleep? But he hadn't changed our daughter into her overnight diaper before he passed out – his part of our nightly routine – and the anger bubbled. The next 30 seconds went like this:
Me: "Where's her overnight diaper, T?"
Him: "Huh?" *grumble* "I'm sleeping. Wha…?" *snore*
Me: [shouting, just feet from our sleeping toddler] "WHERE. IS. HER. DIAPER? DID YOU GET IT READY OR DO I HAVE TO DO THAT, TOO?"
Him: "In the cabinet. What the hell is your problem?"
Me: "You are so passive aggressive about this stupid diaper thing. UGH!"
Him: [mumbling as I storm out of the room] "Talk about passive aggressive. Man."
Me: [quickly returning in a huff] "Passive aggressive? No. This is just aggressive. Passive aggressive is when you try to HIDE YOUR ANGER."
Yeah, that really happened. I told you I've lost it.
When I stormed out again, I caught my breath, recognized my crazy, and sat down to figure out what the heck to do about it. I opted for a tall, cold glass of water followed by a Hypnobabies track on my iPod while I went to sleep. Fortunately, that seemed to do the trick. I woke up this morning feeling rested, calm, and embarrassed.
I know that I battled some moodiness at the end of my last pregnancy (don't we all?), but this time, it feels more pronounced and far earlier than I was expecting. I'm guessing it has something to do with having this little one underfoot all the time because as much as I adore her (and do I!), it takes a lot of energy, a lot of attention, and a lot of patience to be the loving, attentive mother that I want to be. And, frankly, it's exhausting.
I think recognizing my mood swings and severely handicapped patience is a good first step. Now I just have to figure out the follow-through.
Did you have mood swings in late pregnancy – or any part of pregnancy? What did you do to combat them?

Best Uses
Comments about Midland AVPH2 Close-Faced Helmet Headset Speaker/Microphone: Headset claims by Radio Shack, are that it will work with almost ANY Midland CB. On-line pictures do NOT show connection to radio, and this will NOT work with ANY midland Mobile CB. It will only work with a penlight cell powered handheld. Would take a lot of home brewing to build an adapter/interface box to use this with a 12VDC powered automotive style mobile CB radio on a motorcycle. NOT what was advertised, nor is it easily adaptable. No schematics or user instructions are included. Not recommended for any neophyte or non-electronics handy person.

The Dodgers officially announced their five-year contract extension with Andre Ethier on Tuesday afternoon. At the press conference, Ethier was understandably giddy.
"I'm living out a dream, playing baseball in the major leagues. The biggest thing I realized in the last couple of years of ups and downs of this game is how much you take for granted the opportunity to play in the major leagues," Ethier said. "What an unbelievable opportunity it is to be sitting here at 30 years old, and I'm still putting on a uniform for a living."
The $85 million extension was forged in the last few weeks, starting with a meeting in San Diego in May between general manger Ned Colletti and Ethier's agent Nez Balelo. The preliminary discussions began in February, but there was the little matter of the team still being in bankruptcy and the pending end of the Frank McCourt era before any serious negotiations could take place.
Ethier was also coming off knee surgery, and the Dodgers had to see if he was healthy before committing long term to him.
"No surgery is simple. We did need to see a little bit how he was going to bounce back," Colletti said. "But when he got to spring training we could see how he was running and how his mechanics worked in his swing, and we saw that he was better than he had been a year earlier. It became not much of a concern pretty quickly."
Colletti said he has done maybe five deals in season in his 25 years in baseball, and most of them had negotiations open in the spring and were done early in the season.
"Whenever you enter into a deal in season, you need to do it in a rapid way. You can't let it drag on. It's a perilous time of year to be doing it," Colletti said. "You have to be quick with it, you have to be prepared, and you have to bring it to a positive result as soon as you can."
Ethier said the ownership change was definitely a factor in getting his contract completed.
"The ownership change definitely hit home the decision even more to stay here," Ethier said. "These guys aren't messing around when it comes to making this team the best he can be, making this stadium the best its going to be, and turning the Dodgers into the team that L.A. expects them to be, that all of baseball is afraid to see."
Starting Lineups
Aaron Harang gets the start for the Dodgers, facing Jerome Williams for the Angels. Albert Pujols starts at third base for the second time this season, and the second time in five days for the Halos.
Juan Uribe starts for the first time since May 12, and with his return to the lineup catcher A.J. Ellis moves up to the number two spot in the batting order.

Obsolete technology in your car Video
Obsolete technology in your car Video Transcript
Never have cars advanced as rapidly as today, which is a kind way of saying you should probably slap some duct tape over that cassette deck. Here are the top 5 things that are next in line to make your car look like the one Eisenhower drove. 5. The test drive. Not exactly a technology, but a time honored technique for deciding if you want a car. Recent survey by IBM found 21% of recent new car buyers and lessees never actually drove the car they bought before they bought it. By the time they did all that internet research, they were probably already sick of the thing. 4. Gauges. You know, those things that look a lot like that watch you don�t wear any more? From top dollar Land Rovers and Jags to a humble Chevy Spark EV, LCD screens are taking over, giving carmakers flexibility in information display. I applaud the trend, but not necessarily my prospects when the whole thing dies at once 3. Rear Seat Entertainment. Those backseat DVD systems were never technically elegant and always too much money. Plus your kids were always bored with the handful of scratched up DVDs wedged in the seat back pocket. Now they have their iPad and you just saved a couple grand which�ll cover a lot of data fees for that iPad. 2. iPod Connectors. Cars used to have an iPod connector for the cool kids and an aux jack for the losers. Things have changed. Now its all USB ports that work with all kinds of portables and carmakers don�t care what connector Apple just changed to. 1. CD Player. Never mind that its the best sounding source ever put in a car, we don�t care. Like a cougar bar around midnight, we�re concerned with choice, not fidelity. So its streaming apps, MP3s and satellite radio that rule the dash. Ford has already done away with multi CD changers and the 2013 Chevy Sonic (VIDEO on FTP site) was one of the first cars to not even offer a CD at all.

The Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) and the English Community Care Association (ECCA) [advocacy websites] filed their challenge to the cap [Independent report] in September. The temporary cap was announced in June [BBC report]. The caps affect only skilled non-EU workers, a segment of the immigrant population that some advocacy groups assert are vital to the UK economy [IPPR press release]. Officials argue that the temporary cap is necessary to avoid a flood of applications from immigrants seeking to enter the UK before the permanent cap goes into effect.
Military recruitment policies recently became an issue in the June confirmation hearings [JURIST report] of Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan [JURIST news archive]. During her deanship at Harvard Law School [academic website], Kagan reinstated a prohibition against military recruiters because the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" (DADT) [10 USC § 654; JURIST news archive] policy violated the school nondiscrimination code. In 2006, the Supreme Court upheld [JURIST report] the 1996 Solomon Amendment [text, Georgetown backgrounder], which blocks federal funding for schools refusing to allow military recruitment on campus. The military's DADT policy was repealed [JURIST report] by the US Senate [official website] on Saturday. After September 11th, US military branches have increased recruiting waivers and continue to enlist a greater number of recruits with criminal records [JURIST reports].

The original reason given was conserving energy. Then we were told it was a safety hazard (I don't think anyone is going to climb in it!) Whatever the reason, mine is in my basement as an overflow for drinks.
Oh...and electric or not, get a GOOD stapler...and make sure it tacks (not all do, as I found out the hard way!)

4 reviewsNike Air Max 90 Women's Trainers – Red/Black
Similar to Air Max 1, these Nike Air Max 90 women's trainers first appeared in the 80s and whilst they still maintain their original (albeit enhanced) features, they have been given a cool contemporary makeover.
Featuring Max Air technology, these training shoes provide impact cushioning to handle the repetitive downward force of every step. The air-sole unit in the heel provides you with protection and takes the pounding so you don't have to.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions | |
Here are some questions we receive regularly.
Last Updated Jan 20, 2013
Ordering Questions
Compatibility Questions
Company Questions
Product Questions
Usage Questions
Technical Questions
Website Questions
What is the standard shipping time?
Do you ship to other countries?
Regulations vary country-to-country and change regularly.
This may prohibit us from shipping certain products into certain countries.
What is the company name/product name?
What about quality, parts, price?
Is this real or a hoax?
What is the finish on panels?
What does the inside of a module look like?
Do you sell kits?
#1: You'll find that our assembled and tested modules are usually cheaper than a kit because we make them in volume.
We also use several automated processes such as soldering and wire cutting/stripping which reduce the time (and cost).
#2: Some modules require fancy test equipment to calibrate correctly.
This is especially true of Oscillators.
#3: The documentation required to describe building a module would be much larger than the documentation
to show how to operate it. Documentation is difficult to write, prone to errors, and costly to produce.
#4: Technical support of module builders with varying degrees of skill and experience is costly, time consuming, and frustrating for the customer.
Feel free to compare what you get with an assembled Synthesizers.com module, with other company's offerings.
With Synthesizers.com modules, you'll be making sounds right out of the box.
Return policy?
Need ideas on building a custom system?
Do you have dealers?
Do you have a Catalog or Brochure?
Do you guys even have a phone?
Can I move modules around?
Disconnect the AC Power cord, unscrew the module, pull it out, and disconnect the small DC power connector.
Power cables are Keyed to help eliminate incorrect connection.
Some modules have Aid modules next to them with cables that connect the two behind the panel.
These modules and their Aid modules will need to be moved together.
Examples of Aid modules are the Q141 Oscillator aid and the Q140 Filter Aid.
The Q115 Reverb module is connected to the reverb tank with 2 cables behind the panel so make sure these
cables will reach the new module location.
The Q107 Filter is sensitive to power supply noise so resist moving it directly in front of the supply.
Power Modules such as the Q101, Q102, Q137 are connected
to the power supply and/or the DC cable harness so the module must be mounted so that these cables will reach them.
Can I calibrate a module myself?
Why don't you offer an LFO?

How is power distributed inside the cabinets?
How are modules mounted to wooden cabinets?

"I am utterly amazed at the fact that even after multiple use of the
predrilled holes, the screws still have a very firm grip on the wood,
without any signs of wearing out the wood nor losing the firm grip."
Cabinet and rail dimensions for a custom cabinet?
So, based on .500 tall rails, the inside cabinet dimension
should be 8.750+.125+.125= 9.000.
There's very little room for error and the cabinet maker
needs to be right on. It's pretty difficult to have a
cabinet made that works without providing a panel for them
to use.
Panel dimensions are on the technical page.
Can I use Synthesizers.com modules with MOTM modules?
MOTM modules are 8.75 high (5U) just like ours but come in width multiples
of 1.75". This will leave a gap when placed in a Synthesizers.com cabinet which
is expecting module widths in multiples of 2.125 like Moog modules. The gap can be
filled with a small metal strip. Complete details about module sizes can be found
on the Technical information page.
MOTM modules have the circuit board (PCB) perpendicular to the front panel which consumes
about 4 to 5 inches behind the panel.
Synthesizers.com modules have the PCB parallel to the front panel and consume only about 2.5 inches.
Here is a picture of both modules.
MOTM Modules use +15 and -15 power, Synthesizers.com modules use that also, but some
modules also need +5 volts in an effort to keep the power supply clean from digital noise.
Use our QMPSA Power Adapter to convert connectors and voltages.
Pinouts of the power connectors can be found on the Technical information page.
Another option is to use our DC cable harness and attach it directly
to a MOTM power distribution board. This way you can power 20 or 40 .com modules. Very easy to do.
Yet another option is to use our QPS2 8-module power supply which
provides power for 8 .com modules and a great price.
Can I use Synthesizers.com modules with Modcan/Cynthia modules?
Microtonal Control?
Who says that a keyboard has to have the low notes on the left and the high notes on the right?
After all, many written languages read right to left.
The Q125 Signal Processor also allows you to invert a signal which would result
in the the keys on the left being higher pitch than the keys on the right.
Remember, this is a modular analog synthesizer - almost anything can be done - normal or not.
Please see our link page for pointers to the Microtonal universe.
More Q106 Hard Sync Information
To sync with a keyboard on the non-A version, you need to sync on the rising edge of gate but the Q106 wants the falling edge. This is there the Q125 signal processor shines. Simply invert the gate with no offset and patch it to hard sync. If you have the A version, just patch the gate right to the hard sync.
As for soft sync knob affecting the hard sync response, I suspect it might, especially if you're syncing with a non-sharp edge signal. Turning the soft sync full CW should reduce it's effect, CCW will increase it's effect.
Only waveforms with sharp edges will hard sync in the intended manor. This is not to say you can't sync with other waveforms, that's the beauty of these instruments. When you sync with a non-pulse waveform, you have to know which edge is at play. If you have an A version Q106 (and the jumper is off) then you should use a Saw since it has a sharp rising edge, if you have a non-A version, then you should use a ramp since it has a sharp falling edge.
How 'quiet' are these systems/modules?
Will these modules fit in an existing Moog system?
Also, see Erik N's large Moog modular system with a Q119 Sequencer
and a few other modules.
And see Bill K's rack mount Moog System with a Q117 S&H module.
Connecting Moog triggers to Synthesizers.com systems
Voltage to Moog Switch Trigger Cable
To convert from a Moog Switch Trigger to a voltage gate needed by Synthesizers.com modules,
you'll need to run the Moog Switch Trigger signal through the Moog 961 module to create
a voltage. You can also use the Q142 Pedal Interface
which will convert any mechanical switch to a voltage level. You'll have to construct a
special cable.
You can build a simple circuit
to do this also.
The reason that a simple cable is not available to make this conversion is because a voltage source is needed.
How are Synthesizers.com modules different from Moog?
Consistent panel graphics:
Will Synthesizers.com products interface with my existing equipment?
Will Synthesizers.com products work with MoogerFoogers?
Can I process my guitar with Synthesizers.com modules?
Synthesizers.com modules are not designed to work stand-alone,
they need an enclosure such as a cabinet or
rack frame, and
a power supply system.
There is not a module that will extract pitch information from your guitar
(Pitch to voltage converter). That is a very difficult task.
But the Q118 instrument interface does create a gate signal indicating the start
and end of a note. The threshold is adjustable.
This gate can be used to trigger the envelope generator, start a sequencer, etc.
Our Rack-8 is a typical configuration of modules suited for processing
external sounds such as those from a guitar.
The system includes the Q118 instrument interface,
oscillator, filter, envelope generator, voltage controlled amplifier, rack frame,
and power supply. This system can be expanded easily by adding rack frames and modules.
Can a Keyboard controller be powered from a DC din connector?
What about output voltage levels?
What is a minimal system?
If you will be using your system mostly for modifying sounds from a guitar, microphone or other
instrument, add a Q118 Instrument Interface in place of one of the
Q106 Oscillators.
If you want a VERY MINIMAL system that will simply make some sounds and allow filtering,
then use these modules (doesn't include power products):
Polyphonic/Monophonic issues
Pressing more than one key will result in only one of the key's notes being played.
Making a monophonic synthesizer act polyphonic is not an easy task since you would need
multiple identical patches running in parallel.
This would require many more modules than a normal monophonic patch.
All of the settings would have to be the same which would be difficult and would not lend itself to real-time control.
Our keyboard controller has a dual-key mode which means that 2 keys can be pressed at the same time and 2 sets of signals are generated.
This could be used to create a duophonic patch but it would require 2 complete sets of modules with the same settings.
In summary, don't expect a big polyphonic experience from a modular analog synthesizer.
The sound of a modular synthesizer is very large as monophonic and it's best used that way.

My laptop must be the problem!
I have a emachine mx4624 Sempron 3300+. My wireless driver is a Broadcom bcmwl5, and the sound card is an integrated conexant ac-link 97 audio. I installed Mandriva One 2006, but eventually gave up trying to get the wireless connected using ndiswrapper --- got all the right messages, but still could not activate the driver. Even if I did it did not locate the sound card. Kept identifying it as an Ati sound card. Linspire 5.0 live connected flawlessly to the internet, but again could not find the sound. Suse 10.1 would not even install properly. MEPIS 6.0 RC2, could not connect, and also could not find the sound.
What the h is wrong here?? I want to use it but more and more I am beginning to think that maybe staying with Windows and using all the open source software (open office, thunderbird, firefox) is the way to go. Certainly my laptop works --- which is all I ask for.
- 06-26-2006 #2
on the sound card some wont out of the box just know your sound card so you have to run alsa config to locate your card and get it to set up as your default card and sound settings. i would stick with a distro that got you on the internet then run alsaconfig as root at the command prompt. it will step you through it.
i would recommend the mepis 6.0. on the network wireless card i would suggest you find out the chipset for the card. once you do that you can have an easier time finding what direction you need to go in. for some chipsets the ndiswrapper isnt needed. like i have the prism II chipset in my wireless card and i can use the wireless drivers drivers for linux. i have two laptops on linux at home and they seem to do just fine. its tricky getting some of this stuff to work most certainly but keep working at it. depending on how much hard drive space you have you can dual boot your computer until you get a handle on installing linux on a notebook.
- 07-24-2006 #3
Hi. I have a desktop EMachine, and almost all distros have worked with all my hardware. Personally I run Ubuntu 6.06, which detected my soundcard on that, which is an AC97 audio device. I can't comment about the wireless, but I know that wireless and linux are not easily joined, as the other dude said, find a distro that will work with the wireless then go for the sound, but Ubuntu might be the way to go...

KU-MU Basketball Game Nominated For ESPY
Reporter: kuathletics.com
June 27, 2012
Kansas men's basketball historic overtime victory against rival Missouri on Feb. 25, 2012, has been nominated for an ESPY, ESPN announced Wednesday.
Then-No. 4 Kansas overcame a 19-point second-half deficit to defeat No. 3 Missouri 87-86 in overtime in Allen Fieldhouse. The contest was historic in that it was the final conference battle against the Border Showdown foes in a 105-year league history as Missouri departed the Big 12 Conference for the Southeastern Conference. Additionally, the victory guaranteed Kansas at least a share of its eighth-straight Big 12 Conference regular-season title, a championship the Jayhawks would win outright two days later.
An ESPY nomination special will air on ESPN2 on Wednesday at 10 p.m. (Central). Other Best Game nominees are Game 6 of the World Series between the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals and the NFL Playoff game between the San Francisco 49ers and New Orleans Saints.
Kansas junior Thomas Robinson scored 18 of his 28 points after halftime, including the game-tying free throw in the final seconds of regulation, while Jayhawk junior Tyshawn Taylor nailed a pair of free throws with eight seconds to go in overtime to help lift KU to the win.
In what was built up to be one of the biggest games of the season, the teams did not disappoint. Kansas men's basketball overcame the program's largest second-half deficit ever of 19 points with 17 minutes to play to tie the game at 75 as regulation expired. Taylor went on to score nine of the Jayhawks' 12 points in overtime to give KU a win that guaranteed them at least a share of their eighth-straight Big 12 Conference title.
The game was just the second overtime contest ever played between KU and Missouri in Lawrence and the first since 1920 as the win preserved Kansas' unblemished 15-0 record at home this season and extended the Jayhawks' win streak to 20 in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas improved its all-time advantage to 172-95 in the 105-year history versus Border Showdown rival Missouri.
After halftime, Missouri hit its first six field goals, including three three-pointers, as it stretched its 44-32 lead to as much as 19 with 17:03 to play. But midway through the final 20 minutes, Kansas would make a push that would erase its disadvantage and create one of the most thrilling victories in KU basketball history.
Following a bucket from MU's Kim English at 10:51 to give the Tigers a 67-51 lead, MU grew cold from the field and Kansas' defense held Missouri without a field goal for the next seven minutes.
After English's two, Kansas junior Kevin Young energized the crowd with a huge dunk to spark a 15-4 KU run. Robinson's put-back at 8:58 cut the Jayhawks' deficit to single-digits, 67-58, for the first time since 13 seconds in the first half. Although KU struggled from the free throw line for much of the game, the Jayhawks went 8-for-8 at the charity stripe over the next five minutes to put Kansas within one, 71-70, with 2:30 left to play. Missouri used free throws of its own to extend its lead back to 75-72 with just over a minute to play.
With 32 seconds on the clock, MU's Marcus Denmon, who led the Tigers with 28 points, missed a long three. On the other end of the court, KU junior Elijah Johnson drove to the hoop and dished to Robinson, who then hit the layup and was fouled on the play. Robinson completed the traditional three-point play with 16 seconds to go to knot the score, 75-75, and then came up with a huge block on the defensive end in Missouri's final shot attempt of the game.
In overtime, the Tigers used a Denmon three--his sixth of the contest--to take their first lead in the extra period at 84-83, and 34 ticks on the clock to force KU head coach Bill Self to take a timeout. After the break, Taylor made a back-door cut to the basket where Johnson hit him with a pass and Taylor completed with a dunk.
Missouri was not done yet, though, as Denmon hit yet another basket for the one-point lead with 12 seconds to play. With no timeouts left, Taylor drove the length of the floor and went airborne for a layup attempt in the paint. As the shot landed short, MU was charged with a foul and Taylor calmly knocked down both free throws to give the Jayhawks its final margin of victory, 87-86.
In addition to Robinson's 28 points, the player of the year candidate added a team-best 12 rebounds for his Big 12-leading 20th double-double of the season. Taylor chipped in with 24 points during the contest, while he and Robinson combined for 15-of-17 at the free throw line. Kansas senior Conner Teahan took just four shots all night but was perfect in every one, all from beyond the three-point arc, to finish with 12 points.
Young stepped up as a huge presence on the defensive end. Young collected four blocks, all in the first half, and pulled down eight rebounds for the Jayhawks.

Health Tip: Kids on the Run
(HealthDay News) -- If your child has a desire to run, you should encourage this great form of exercise that requires very little equipment.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't take precautions, the American Council on Exercise says. Here's the council's advice:
Check with your pediatrician before the child starts running, to make sure there are no potential health issues.
Remember that a child can't perform at the same level as an adult.
Take it easy in extreme weather. On hot days, make sure your child drinks plenty of extra fluids.
Teach a young runner to warm up, cool down and how to stretch the muscles. Also teach proper form.
Always honor your child's wishes when he or she asks to stop.
Make sure the goals your child sets are realistic and attainable.

Recipe by SMUCKER'S®
"This delightful dish is pan-fried chicken pieces in an Asian-inspired peach sauce. Using SMUCKER'S® Peach Preserves, makes this an easy weeknight dinner."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (4 pound) broiler chicken, cut into serving pieces
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup Crisco® Butter Shortening Sticks or Crisco® Butter Shortening
3/4 cup SMUCKER'S® Peach Preserves
1 medium onion, sliced
1 medium green or red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Hot cooked rice
This recipe needs some help because it doesn't specify when to add the peppers. I just added them with the onions. I also added a splash of soy sauce and lots of garlic powder. With my changes I give this recipe 4 stars. For extra flavor, cook your rice with chicken broth.
4 stars cause the family ate it up. I am not so sweet teriyaki type :-) . I used homemade raspberry preserves and tofu instead of chicken.
12 Ratings
My 12 year old son had to cook for a school project and chose this recipe. We used boneless chicken breasts and red peppers instead of green. We used jarred peaches as the garnish--delicious, quick, and easy!!
I actually made this and used red pepper flakes. The sweet and hot was a big hit.
I gave this dish five stars. After i added my own flare to it. seasoned my chicken with salt, pepper,and toni's seasonings. and it was a major hit with the Fam.
Recipe was very good with the advice of adding some cayenne pepper. Will probably make again. I don't know why people keep posting they don't know what to do with the green pepper. It says right in step 3 of the directions.
Step 3 clearly tells you to add the preserves, onion, lemon juice, ginger and "bell pepper" in medium bowl; stir until well combined. Pour over chicken, cover, and simmer 25 to 35 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove chicken from pan, keep warm. I am going to make this recipe and see what it tastes like. It sound absolutely wonderful and soooooo easy. Perhaps those who missed the instruction about the pepper don't know what a bell pepper is?? I will be happy to re rate this again once I make it.
Tasty! I used red peppers instead of green, since my family likes them better, and I think it went pretty well. I upped the ginger a bit but in the future I might add some cayenne pepper too, as others have suggested. My siblings liked it just fine, but my Dad and I agree it needs a bit more bite.

Actually, my avatar/profile pic is me in one of those boats on the pond side. To call it a pond is a bit deceiving as that pic was taken in the back/smaller part of it, but compared to the res proper, it's a pond.

Fire Destroys Home
Updated: Monday, February 18 2013, 04:21 PM EST
A fire on Saturday evening destroyed a home in East Asheville. It happened on Lower Grassy Branch Road shortly after 6:00pm. Firefighters say three people were inside when it started, but they all made it out safely. Crews from the Riceville Fire Department say the home was fully-involved when they arrived. They say cold and windy conditions made it difficult to put-out the flames. Firefighters say the family's pet dog did not make it out. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The Red Cross is assisting the family.

Sam's Yams Big Boyz Sweet Potato Dog Treats 1lb Bag
Submit a review
Customer Reviews:
Does Your Dog Like Sweet Potato?
This treat is a great snack for dogs. It's soft enough to bend and not too hard. It doesn't stain my carpet and it comes in big thin slices. The only problem with this product is, your dog must like sweet potato. One of my Corgis didn't like the treat, but my other Corgi loved it. That's the only reason for giving this product four stars. I'm glad I tried this treat because the packaging was perfect and the treat was great. The problem was one of my dogs doesn't like sweet potato.
love them!
lab/golden mix and beagle/JRterrier both love them like candy. The big ones last longer of course and are a non splintering replacement I have been able to find for bones since they developed beef allergies. Wish they were even tougher like rawhide so they would last longer.

Awesome Chews
My Moose loves Sam's Yams Big Boyz. He likes to dance around throwing a new chew, then eventually he lays on his bed to chew. The yams get soft as they chew so I never worry abotu choking.

Slaid Cleaves Plays a 4th of July Show at Ballard Park in Ridgefield
Slaid Cleaves was raised in Maine, but he began his career as a street busker in Cork City, Ireland in 1985 while still in college. By 1990, he'd honed his craft and began to get noticed close to home, in and around Portland, Maine. He moved to Austin in 1991, before the city's population exploded and it still resembled what you see in Richard Linklater's Slacker. Now he's supporting his new album Still Fighting the War and playing a free show in Ridgefield's Ballard Park on the 4th of July (before the fireworks) as part of the town's free CHIRP concert series.

Two U.S. Scientists Share Distinguished Honors in Basic Science Research; U.K. Physician Selected for Prestigious Clinical Research Award
Dallas – October 27, 2009 – Three researchers who have focused much of their careers on developing targeted therapies that both lower the risk of developing hormone-sensitive breast cancers and effectively treat the disease are this year's winners of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction in basic science and clinical research. This is the highest award of merit given by the nation's leading breast cancer advocacy organization.
This year's team recipients in the category of basic science are Benita S. Katzenellenbogen, Ph.D. and Geoffrey L. Greene, Ph.D. Ian E. Smith, M.D. is recognized in the award category of clinical research.
Katzenellenbogen and Greene are being honored for their pivotal laboratory work that led to a better understanding of how drugs like tamoxifen and raloxifene work on a molecular level to fight and prevent certain breast cancers.
Smith is being recognized for his work in the early clinical development of several anti-cancer drugs and for his work in neoadjuvant – or preoperative – treatments with drugs like tamoxifen and raloxifene.
These drugs fight the hormone sensitive breast cancers that account for 70 percent of all breast cancers. The survival rate for all breast cancers is now 89 percent, largely due to the successful use of these hormone therapies before and after surgery.
"The two individuals selected for the basic science award have made important contributions to our understanding of the estrogen receptor and the role the receptor plays in breast cancer," said Eric Winer, M.D., Komen's chief scientific advisor. "The clinical award is made in recognition of the seminal work on the part of Dr. Smith in the field of endocrine therapy, particularly in the preoperative setting."
Each honoree will deliver a keynote lecture and be honored at the 32nd annual San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, a major international gathering of breast cancer researchers, clinicians and patient advocacy organizations. Each also will receive a cash award of $25,000.
The Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction was established in 1992 to recognize the efforts of pioneers in two critically important areas of the fight to end breast cancer: clinical research and basic science. The roster of Komen Brinker Award for Scientific Distinction laureates has grown to include names of researchers who have made the most significant advances in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment as well as research. This year's awardees, as well as past laureates, are invited to a private reception during the San Antonio conference this year.
About the Brinker Award WinnersIan E. Smith, M.D. - Clinical ResearchIan Smith is professor of Cancer Medicine at the Institute of Cancer Research and the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, where he is also head of the breast unit. His principal research interests have been in the biology and treatment of breast cancer and lung cancer, and in new drug development. He was involved in the early clinical development of several successful anti-cancer drugs including letrozole and carboplatin. One of his main interests is in preoperative endocrine treatments and in the molecular changes associated with these therapies. He is chief investigator of two international neoadjuvant endocrine therapy trials, IMPACT and IRESSA 223 and UK principal investigator for several international clinical trials. He is the first chairman of the recently formed UK Breast Trials Intergroup and recent past chairman of the British Breast Group. He has also been Chairman of several national professional bodies including the Association of Cancer Physicians, the Royal College of Physicians Specialist Advisory Committee for Medical Oncology, and the NCRI Lung Cancer Clinical Studies Group. He is a member of numerous international cancer societies and has more than 300 peer-reviewed publications.
Benita S Katzenellenbogen, Ph.D. – Basic ScienceBenita S. Katzenellenbogen is the Swanlund Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology, Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. As an endocrinologist and cancer researcher, she has focused on understanding the biology of estrogen receptors and in trying to clarify how drugs likes tamoxifen and raloxifene are effective in controlling breast cancer. The work of her research group has most recently involved developing hormonal agents for breast cancer treatment and prevention. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and recently served as president of The Endocrine Society, the world's largest professional society representing approximately 10,000 endocrinologists. She has published more than 270 research articles and co-edited a book on "Hormone-Dependent Cancer". During her career she has received 5 different Komen grants.
Geoffrey L. Greene, Ph.D. – Basic Science Dr. Geoffrey Greene is the Virginia and D. K. Ludwig Professor and Vice Chair of The Ben May Department for Cancer Research, Chair of the Committee on Cancer Biology, Associate Director of Basic Sciences for the Cancer Research Center and Co-Director of the Ludwig Center for Metastasis Research at the University of Chicago. He is internationally recognized for his work on the function of female hormones and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) in breast cancer, and for the development of estrogen and progesterone receptor antibodies, which have had major diagnostic applications in breast cancer throughout the world. Projects in Dr. Greene's laboratory have direct relevance and application to breast cancer genesis, progression, treatment and prevention, as well as to the development of compounds that can be used for hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women. He has received several prestigious awards for his research accomplishments, including the Ernst Oppenheimer Award from the Endocrine Society, the John Brewer Distinguished Alumni Lectureship at Northwestern University, the first Tartikoff-Semel Award from the Revlon/UCLA Women's Cancer Research Program, and the first Olof Pearson Lecturer at Case Western Reserve University. In addition, he recently received the NAMS/Wyeth Pharmaceutical SERMs award from the North American Menopausal Society.

The court also agreed to hear Maryland v. King [docket, cert. petition, PDF] which concerns whether the Fourth Amendment [text] permits states to collect DNA samples from individuals charged with serious crimes. The respondent in the case, Alonzo King, challenged the validity of Maryland's DNA Collection Act [text, PDF] after state officials used his DNA to implicate him in a later crime. In July Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts [official profile] issued a temporary stay [JURIST report] that blocked a ruling by the Maryland Court of Appeals [official website] that barred police from collecting DNA from criminal suspects without a warrant.
The court also granted certiorari in Peugh v. United States [docket, cert. petition, PDF] to determine whether a court violated the US Constitution's Ex Post Facto Clause [Cornell LII backgrounder] when it applied the US Sentencing Guidelines [materials] at the time of the sentencing rather than at the time of the offense. The petitioner in the case, Marvin Peugh, argued that the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit [official website] erred when it used the 2009 sentencing guidelines rather than the guidelines that were in place in 1998, the year he committed the crime in question. There is a circuit split among the US Courts of Appeals over whether a court violates the Ex Post Facto Clause when it sentences a criminal defendant based on the guidelines at the time of the sentencing.
Finally, the court agreed to hear American Express Co. v. Italian Colors Restaurant [docket, cert. petition, PDF] which deals with whether the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) [Cornell LII backgrounder] allows courts to nullify arbitration agreements if the agreements do not permit class arbitration of a federal law claim. The plaintiffs in the case are several retail businesses that have accepted American Express charge cards. They argue that American Express's arbitration clause, which forbids plaintiffs from filing as a class, violates the FAA. The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] in February that American Express's arbitration clause was unenforceable.

Add color to your spring garden with a variety of plants. Spring bulbs, combined with early blooming perennials look great with the blossoms of Betty magnolia.
Spring perennials like long blooming hellebore have evergreen leaves, interesting blooms and are usually overlooked by the deer.
The delicate blue flowers of Brunnera make a great filler in the garden bed. The variegated leaves of many cultivars like Jack Frost brighten the shade throughout the season.
Lungwort's (Pulmonaria) funnel shaped flowers are favorites of hummingbirds and can be found in white, reddish-pink or pink fading to blue. The hairy leaves tend to discourage the deer and the variegated varieties lighten the shade.
The fine texture of the fern-leaf peony (Paeonia tenuifolia) is the perfect backdrop for single or double red flowers. Though the leaves fade in late summer their unique appearance has earned them a spot in many gardens.
The white spots on the leaves of lungwort give it the appearance of a diseased lung. This led to both the common name and the botanical name Pulmonaria (Latin for lung). Herbalists once believed when a plant resembled a body part it must have healing powers for it.

A few weeks ago, we shared the story of Rachel Poor, who faced a double-barreled 21st century nightmare when an identity thief stole her money and her bank piled on with penalty fees. In addition to losing thousands of dollars to the thief, Poor faced a maddening set of overdraft charges -- 22 to be exact -- while she tried to dig out of the hole her imposter put her in.
The column resonated with Red Tape readers -- 1,300 comments were left on the blog, a record. Many writers expressed bitterness and frustration toward their banks and described their own overdraft fee nightmares.
Well, help may be on the way. Two major studies are being conducted to examine bank bounced check practices -- one by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and one by the General Accountability Office, Congress' investigative arm. Federal legislation introduced by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., would bar many current bank overdraft practices. And a congressional hearing is planned for later this summer to highlight abuses of the practice.
"Congress should help rein in the billions of dollars in hidden overdraft fees that bank customers are forced to shell out every year," said Maloney, who chairs the House Subcommittee on Financial Institutions. "Hidden overdraft fees are unfair, and fairness is an essential component of a safe and sound banking system."
Why do overdraft fees seem to generate so much ire? For starters, they often come as a surprise. That's the reason that this month's "Gotcha Room" explains how easy it is to incur an overdraft fee. Click here to watch the video.
Here's the crux of the problem: Many people believe that if they ask an ATM for more money than they have in their account, the ATM will simply say "no." Not True! One upon a time, ATMs were good at rejection. Today, they'll say "yes" to nearly anyone.
Just about anyone with a checking account in any national bank is automatically enrolled in something called "courtesy overdraft protection." The "courtesy," it turns out, is that the banks will allow withdrawals that exceed balances and then tack on a hefty fee of about $35.
And as Rachel Poor found out, often there are multiple charges. After an account "goes negative," every account withdrawal -- by ATM, by debit card purchase, by online bill payment – incurs another fee. It's easy to wrack up four or five of those in a weekend, or 22 in Rachel's case.
Debit card purchases add to the confusion because banks allow debit card purchases even when accounts don't have enough money to cover the transaction. That profitable permissiveness can easily turn a $3 hamburger into a $38 hamburger.
No one knows exactly how much money banks are making this way, but there are some good guesses. Fees make up about one-third of bank revenue at this point, and overdraft fees make up a large chunk of that. The Center for Responsible Lending estimates that banks collected $10 billion in overdraft fees during 2005.
Judging from the number of people who wrote in after Rachel Poor's story, that estimate might be low.
Consumer advocates object to the fees on many levels. Chief among them -- using a debit card was supposed to be the healthy alternative to credit cards, which were designed to encourage people to spend money they don't have. Debit cards were supposed to prevent that bad buying habit, as purchases are withdrawn directly from checking accounts. At one point, it was impossible to spend more than you had with a debit card. But with "courtesy overdrafts," debit cards become a lot more like credit cards -- only worse. Not only can you overspend, but the loan you are given as a result is just about the most expensive loan out there. The effective annual percentage rate on debit card overdraft fees can be 1,000 percent. In most cases, consumers hovering near a zero balance and buying that $3 hamburger would be far better off taking out their credit cards, even if they are revolving users who pay interest immediately on the purchase.
Making matters worse: Consumers rarely know when they are about to buy a $38 hamburger. It's nearly always a surprise when the monthly billing statement comes.
It doesn't have to be that way. A simple warning would be nice, something like the "foreign ATM $2 fee" warning we are all so familiar with. Something like this:
ATM: "I'll let you take out that $20 you don't really have, but it will cost you an extra $35. Are you sure you want to do that?"
You (turning to friend): Uh, Bill, can you spot me $20?
Implementing such a warning screen is one of the main provisions in Maloney's bill. Of course, banks aren't interested in adding the warning. Nessa Feddis, spokeswoman for the American Bankers Association, said it's not technically possible. There are always outstanding checks or pending electronic transactions (such as scheduled Internet bill payments) which make real-time balance checks impractical, she said.
"There will always be the possibility of approving a transaction when there aren't sufficient funds," she said. "It's consumers who are in the best position to know exactly what their balance is."
Feddis also said consumers appreciate the convenience of overdraft protection, as they don't face the hassle of rejected purchases at checkout counters. And in the case of bounced checks, the fees can actually save consumers money. In the past, a bounced check would incur two fees -- one from the bank and one from the merchant. Now the bank covers the check and charges only one overdraft fee, she said.
But that benefit of overdraft protection only applies in the case of bounced checks. Covering consumers' debit purchases and then charging a $35 fee doesn't save the consumer money compared to the days when the transaction would simply be declined.
Given the decline in popularity of checks, the majority of overdraft fees are now generated through debit transactions and other electronic transactions, the Center for Responsible Lending found in a recent study.
That's one reason banks fought -- and won -- in the last round of Washington D.C.-hand-wringing on the subject. Two years ago, the Federal Reserve issued new rules governing overdraft protection, but the rules have done little to help consumers. In fact, they may have made things worse. The Fed declared that overdraft fees were not a loan and thus not subject to Truth in Lending disclosure practices, which would include clear publication of those obscene annual percentage rates. Now, only banks that market courtesy overdraft protection service must explain the cost of the money. Banks that keep the service and the fees quiet only have to include small-print notices when you open your account.
Maloney's bill would change that, too, as it would redefine overdraft fees as loans.
Feddis argues that publishing those rates would only confuse consumers.
"People understand dollars. ...The rate would be misleading to consumers," she said. "It's not a loan, it's a service fee."
Whatever they are, clearly many consumers hate them. More important, many consumers are surprised by them, and that should never happen. ATMs should warn consumers before they overdraw their accounts -- something that is just as feasible as account balance checks, despite what banks say. And if warnings aren't given, hamburger purchases should simply be declined when balances are below zero unless consumers actively ask for the protection.
Tell your bank you want to opt out of courtesy overdraft protection. While you're at it, link your credit card or savings account to your checking account, which will provide you true overdraft protection for pennies on the dollar.
If your balance is low and you are using a debit card, tell the clerk you want to sign the receipt and not enter a PIN, says Gartner payment expert Avivah Litan. Signature-based debit transactions are processed a little bit more slowly than PIN transactions, so you'll buy yourself a little time to deposit money and cover the withdrawal, she says.
