Redbud Watch: Day 6.
Thursday, March 8. 2012
No equal, no competitor, can be found among small flowering landscape trees—the stage is reserved for this native species.
~ Michael A. Dirr, Dirr's Hardy Trees and Shrubs
Dirr took the words right out of my mouth. For romantic, evocative and other deep-seated reasons and even though I haven't been able to successfully grow one for almost 40 years, the redbud remains a favorite plant.
Some redbud facts.
• Eastern redbud (
Cercis canadensis
) is native to the eastern U.S.—ranging from New Jersey south to northern Florida and west to Missouri and Texas.
• Member of the Fabaceae or Leguminosae Family, a very large important family of flowering plants that includes soybeans, garden peas, peanuts, alfalfa, honeylocusts, Kentucky coffeetrees. Most legume species have the cool capability of nitrogen fixation—a symbiotic process between bacteria within their root nodules and the soil that produces nitrogen and, therefore, the plants' own source of fertilization.
• Leaves are alternate and generally heart-shaped, about 3 – 5" high and wide. Foliage emerges reddish-purple in spring, gradually turns green and can be a nice, bright yellow in fall.
• Flowers are tiny (½ inch), perfect with male (stamens) and female (pistils) parts in same flower. The buds are reddish-purple and open to a warm, rosy pink.
• Fruits are a persistent, dark brown pod 2 – 3" long.
• Mature size is 20 – 30' high and 25 – 35' wide.
• Hardiness Zone 4 – 9, although the Minnesota Strain is hardy to Zone 3b.
• According to Douglas Tallamy's study at the University of Delaware, 19 species of butterflies and moths are supported by redbuds.
On the redbud outside my bedroom window, the buds are swelling and there is a definite purple haze to the tree.

Fibromyalgia Health Center
Stress and Fibromyalgia - Topic Overview
Many people with fibromyalgia find that stress makes their symptoms worse. Reducing stress, or finding healthy ways to cope with it, may help reduce your pain.
- Identify stressful situations at home and at work that seem to trigger your symptoms. Work on ways to make those situations less stressful or to make them occur less frequently.
- Cancel unnecessary activities that cause stress.
- Set priorities and learn to cope with your physical limitations. If you can't do an activity because of pain, find a less painful way to do it or try a different activity.
- Think about seeing a counselor if you are unable to deal with severe stress or need help finding ways to cope with stressful situations.
- Learn to use stress reduction, biofeedback, visualization, meditation, or relaxation techniques. Cognitive-behavioral therapy or training may be helpful in learning to manage stress.
- Join a fibromyalgia support group.

This is a recipe I've been working on, here and there, for quite a while, probably since last summer. I kind of just winged it the first couples times I made it and it was so great then when I decided to pay attention to my measurements and times so I could write up a bona fide recipe, I kept messing it up. But yesterday, I made them again, took notes and they were a hit.
The original inspiration for the flavor combination came from this recipe from Abby. These crunchy little roasted chickpeas are usually gobbled up as is but I think they'd also be good sprinkled on a salad in lieu of croutons (making them a good crunchy gluten free option.)
I found this recipe made a decent amount for us all to munch on but you may want to double.
You could probably use dried rosemary leaves but I might let them sit in the lemon juice/oil mixture for a bit as I'd fear they would get too crispy when roasting. And should only need a pinch as dried herbs are more concentrated.
If you want, you can used canned chickpeas. For reference, the dried version will end up yielding between 1 to 1 1/2 cups after soaking.
Otherwise, what I do is soak the dried chickpeas in about 2 cups of water over night. In the morning I drain and rinse, then put them in a saucepan, covering with a couple inches of fresh water and bring to a boil. There may be some foam developing on the top—to my knowledge this is starch and I just scrape it off. Reduce to a simmer and leave, covered, for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Drain and cool the chickpeas. In a bowl, toss them with all the other ingredients. You can go ahead and roast them now or what I did this last time which may have helped the flavor really set in was cover them and keep in the fridge until the evening, tossing them every once in a while to coat the chickpeas well and distribute the flavors.
To roast, preheat your oven to 400 F (I think that's about 200 C.) Spread chickpeas out on a cookie sheet (one with an edge!) or even a pie plate would work. Just make sure they are in one layer and have some room to roll around.
Roast for 15 minutes on "one side." Then take them out and rattle them around and roast for another 10-15 minutes. You may need more or less time but you're aiming for them to sound rattly and hard. (But not burnt or rock hard.) If at any point they look like they are getting dry, drizzle a tiny bit of oil on top and rattle around.
Let cool and enjoy!
I like doing the small amount so they get eaten up right away but I'm sure if you did more you could keep leftovers in the fridge and sprinkle on salad the next day.
This is a dish I've kind of been obsessed with. I don't know where I got the idea (a magazine, online?) or what mixture exactly it was (beans and lemon, beans and thyme?) It's been a fun challenge to think up interesting and tasty ways to use the veggies from the garden. We've never been too fancy when it came to cooking up our garden vegetables. They usually taste so good and so fresh that simply steaming them and adding a sprinkle of salt and pat of butter is decadent enough. That isn't to say the veggies are less tasty this year but rather I'm becoming more adventurous and active in the kitchen. This is my latest concoction. I've since made it four or five times. And since the bush beans are getting their second wind and the pole beans are only just beginning, I'm sure I'll make it more before the season is up.
I will start by saying this is a recipe you can wing and use your judgement when making. I used measurements to give you a general guide but when I make it, I tend to throw it all together.
Roasted Green with Lemon, Thyme and Almonds
(Probably serves about 6 big veggie eaters or 8 side-dish eaters)
1/2 c slivered almonds
olive oil for drizzling in dish
2 lbs fresh green beans
1 medium or large onion (a sweet one like Vidalia is best!)
1 tspn dried thyme leaves (or 1 tbspn fresh*)
2 tbspns (or so) more olive oil for tossing
salt to taste
1 tbspn lemon juice
1 tbspn lemon zest
Start by pre-roasting your slivered almonds separately. You can do this well in advance if you'd like. If your are in a hurry you can simply use plain, unroasted almonds but the toasted taste is so much better. I tried roasting them with the green beans but they didn't roast as thoroughly as I'd like. Spread out your almonds on a dry cookie sheet and roast at 350 degrees F for about 5 to 8 minutes or until they start to get toasty smelling and brown. You may need to flip them or at least shuffle them around a bit. Oven temps vary so keep an eye on them. Remove from oven and set aside.
Now either preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (if you roasted your almonds in advance) or just up the temp right after roasting them.
Next wash up your green beans and cut off the unedible ends. You can cut them into bite size pieces if you wish. Peel and cut your onion into decent size wedges (I like big chunks, basically cutting the onion in eighths but you might want to do them a little smaller if you like them less crunchy and more done.)
Drizzle a little olive oil in a large baking dish (mine was a 4 quart/10x15x2 glass dish.)
You can toss the next ingredients in a separate bowl but I just do it right in the baking dish to save on wash-up. Spread out your beans and onions in the dish.
Evenly sprinkle the thyme over the beans. Grind or sprinkle salt to taste. Next drizzle a little more olive oil on top. Using a spatula toss the beans by flipping them over and shuffling them around so everything gets a nice coating.
Now roast for about 15 minutes.
Remove from oven and flip/toss the beans with a spatula and roast another 15 minutes.
You may need to roast for another five, ten or even fifteen minutes depending on different factors. Just make sure the green beans are cooked enough to be edible—I like mine to still be little crunchy but I like to roast long enough to get some good browning going on.
Remove from oven. Drizzle your lemon juice (I freeze fresh squeezed lemon in ice cube trays, so that's why it doesn't look liquidy in the the ingredients photo above!) and sprinkle you lemon zest and about half or two-thirds of your almonds in the dish and give a few last flips/tosses. Either sprinkle the remaining almonds on top and serve in the baking dish or move everything to a bowl and sprinkle the almonds on top then.
*I've never used fresh in this recipe but I'm using the herb-rule that dried is generally about twice as strong as fresh. I'm sure if you've worked with fresh thyme before you would know what to do. (If you want to share in the comments, I'd love to hear.
I've realized it's hard to find a salad dressing that doesn't have sugar in it. So, I made one. It's pretty strong and probably different from what you are used to. If you prefer salad dressings that are sweet, this isn't for you. However, if you
like love lemon and garlic, this is for you.
(This is the part where you add the lemon juice but I forgot to get a picture!)
Sugar Free Garlic Lemon Dressing
2 teaspoons sea salt
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup olive oil
Put all ingredients, except oil, in a jar (with a lid) and shake. Now add the oil and shake again. Voila. Easy homemade, sugar-free dressing. Use up right away.
The most obvious way to use it is drizzled on salad.
But I've found it's also great in a raw veggie salad. (Seen here: yellow summer squash, yellow bell pepper*, green beans and cauliflower.) Simply pour some of the dressing over thinly sliced veggies of choice(make sure they'll taste good raw!) and toss.
*The only veggie not from our garden.
A while back, I had come across a Tofu Spinach Risotto recipe while flipping through one of my cookbooks (this one happened to be Giant Book of Tofu Cooking.) I realized we had all the ingredients so I gave it a go. The family decided it was a bit dry so I vowed to give it another go with a few tweaks. Although the nutmeg gives a nice flavor, I added cinnamon for a little more sweetness and sliced almonds for a bit of crunch.
The only thing is that I'm hesitant to call it a risotto. From what I've read, this (or the original—which I found someone blogging about here) isn't technically a risotto. I guess the tofu gives it all a creamy consistency but it isn't prepared traditionally. So, since I'm not up on the proper names for rice dishes, I'm calling it a Sorta-Risotto. Based on your choices, it can be vegan, vegetarian or gluten free.
Spinach Tofu (Sorta) Risotto
Makes one 9″ x 13″ or 3 quart baking dish
Serves 10-14
(I doubled the original recipe, which served "6-8″ but obviously the author does not live in this house full of hollow legs and leftover-eaters. If you're more like the author and eat normal portions, cut this recipe here in half.)
3-4 cups cooked rice (I like brown rice)
20 ounce package frozen spinach (I used cut leaf, but might used chopped next time)
2 medium yellow onions (chopped large or fine, I used Vidalia)
4-5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 pound tofu (firm or extra firm are fine–press in advance to get excess water out)
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup milk (of choice, I used almond)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional, but they add a nice crunch)
Plus a few extra tablespoons olive oil for sauteing and greasing your pan
Cook up your rice as you wish in advance. (Feel free to cook it in vegetable or chicken broth, I usually do. It gives it a lovely flavor.)
Partially thaw your spinach (if it's all the way thawed, that's OK, I was impatient and realized it was nicer to work with when it was still a little flaky)
Pre-heat oven to 350*F
In a blender or food-processor, blend up the tofu (chunk it up into smaller pieces with your hands first), olive oil, salt, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and black pepper until it's creamy. It it's too dense, add a little more milk. It should be a nice, creamy hummus consistency.
Pour this tofu mixture into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
Over medium-high heat, saute your onions in a little olive oil until they start to become translucent. Throw in the minced garlic and saute for another minute or two.
Take off the heat and add the onions and garlic to the mixing bowl with the tofu mixture.
Add your rice (3-4 cups, I used 3), spinach and almonds. Stir it up well until it's all incorporated and mixed up.
Put the mixture in an oiled baking dish and bake uncovered at 350*F for about 30 minutes.
(Optional suggestion: You could probably sprinkle some Parmesan or perhaps another shredded cheese on top near the end of the baking to add a nice kick of flavor! I think I'll try that next time.)
(Disclaimer: I sprinkled a few extra sliced almonds on the top of my dish for the photo–just to make it look prettier.)
(Edited to add the fact that you should press your tofu in advance to get the excess water out.)
I've been on a bit of an avocado kick lately. In my recipe binder I had a piece of paper with a few ingredients jotted down for an avocado banana smoothie. I have no idea if I found it online or a magazine or a book. I first went with the original measurements (which resulted in a huge portion) then played around with different measurements and ingredients and came up with this.
Chococadonana Smoothie
(Chocolate Avocado Banana Smoothie)
makes a little over 2 cups
1 1/2 cups milk of choice (I use almond)
1/2 banana
1/2 very ripe avocado
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (less if you're not a cinnamon lover)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon flax meal
sweetener of choice, to taste (sugar, agave, stevia, honey)
Blend all ingredients up in blender (I prefer an immersible hand blender) until it's all smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy.
Other options and suggestions:
The first and most obvious is that smoothie measurements are forgiving. Add more or less where you feel it needs.
I'm not a fan of super cold stuff (or super hot, for that matter—a friend said this might be because of my ayurvedic dosha) but if you want to and have a high power blender, add some ice. You could even add some ice-cream to make it more indulgent.
The flax meal (which is simply ground up flax seeds which you can do yourself in a coffee grinder) isn't essential for the smoothie, so don't worry if you don't have any. However, you might want to look into getting some. For such tiny little things, they pack quite a punch, like omega-3s, antioxidants and fiber. I think the addition of flax meal to the smoothie also makes it thicker. Another thing to remember about flax seeds is that they are perishable and can go rancid, so keep them in the freezer.
The original recipe I have calls for 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract but I'm not a big fan of vanilla in unbaked things. But if you are, have at it.
Did you know you can freeze mashed avocados? Stock up on them when they are on sale.

Some of you see the Stream. A thought or a comment or a fanshot that keeps the Knowledge coming. A player exchange from team A to B and why. The commentary is always changing yet following a progression on AP. The posters are keenly aware that some subjects have not met their NEED of knowledge and what more needs to be shared!
Unlike, some sites on AP Nation, Front Page commentary leads to a Fanpost, which leads to Fan Shots, which get posted Front Page and the Cycle begins anew. AP we are blessed with a Constant Stream of Thought. I for one am totally enthralled by the AP Nation and the all encompassing gifts and/or skills that every one of us brings HERE. Most of all the gift of Chiefs Gabb.
Thank You for a wonderful off-season and a Hope for a Truly Awesome 2009 Chiefs season :)

The music-streaming service from Beats gets a Windows Phone app, one week after its iOS and Android app debut.
The new streaming music app is slick, but you'll have to pay $9.99 a month to listen.
Free All Music began a private beta test this week, and I'm satisfied with the value proposition, as the ad-viewing and MP3-downloading process is surprisingly painless.
EMI is the second big recording company to cut deal with FreeAllMusic.com, a start-up that thinks it can succeed with ad-supported music.
Greg Sandoval talks about what led to SpiralFrog's sudden death, and whether other sites have any hope of pursuing a similar model successfully.
As of now, users can only stream ad-supported music for free on their computers -- but word has it this feature may soon be coming to smartphones and tablets.

Tonight when watching ND beat the Trogans, I noticed that the on-field PAC 10 Logo colors were in Ketchup and Mustard. Last week, Oregon State also used an orange color scheme in the on-field logos at Reser Stadium.
What gives? With all of the hoopla pertaining to it's rebranding effort, it would seem that the PAC Ten conference would want to protect it's "mark" by keeping the logo's colors intact and as designed.
Or am I missing something here?

School districts across Kentucky have maxed-out local property taxes. In an effort to make up for cuts in state and federal funding in recent years, Kentucky has an inequality among the state's 173 districts that has turned school boards into political exiles. Eighty-one districts have adopted rates increasing revenue by 4 percent, the largest amount allowed without being subject to a voter recall. Seventy-six districts approved similar measures last year, while 26 school boards have yet to set a rate. Kentucky School Boards Association spokesman Brad Hughes says the districts have no other choice but to turn to taxpayers. House Education Chairman Derrick Graham says an effort by the Kentucky Board of Education to restore pre-recession funding levels is unlikely to gain traction.

A crash near Canby killed one teenager and sent two others to the hospital Friday night.
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office was called out to a crash on Friday around 11 p.m. near Highway 170 and Aldercreek Lane.
Officials said the vehicle struck a power pole on the passenger side with enough force to break the pole and knock it to the ground.
The impact also caused the SUV to roll over and land on its top, injuring the three teens inside.
Deputies said Daniel Gonzalez, 19, was the front seat passenger and suffered severe injuries.
He was taken by LifeFlight to Emanuel Hospital where he later died.
The driver, a 17-year-old male and the back seat passenger, a 15-year-old male were taken to OHSU for their injuries.
Deputies said the 17-year-old driver is under investigation on suspicion of drunken driving. Though deputies have released his name, FOX 12 is not identifying him because he has not yet been charged with a crime.
The Clackamas County's Criminal Reconstruction and Forensic team was called to assist with the accident.
The investigation is ongoing.

Dawn Anne Jahn Moses, a local mother and Arlington Education Foundation board member, died Wednesday. She was 46.
School Committee member Judson Pierce announced her passing at Thursday's meeting and requested a moment of silence in her honor.
'A huge loss for all of us.'
The Arlington Education Foundation also remembered Moses Thursday with a short passage on its Facebook page. "Today we mourn the passing of AEF board member Dawn Moses. We will miss her piercing intelligence, her sense of humor and her commitment to the children of Arlington. A huge loss for all of us," it read.
Services for Moses will be private. However, Pierce said there are plans to celebrate her life sometime in July. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the National Center on Family Homelessness in her honor, he said.
Editor's note: I'll either post Moses' full obituary or link to it when it comes in.

I've had it all weekend long. It always happens just as I start writing up the start of a new campaign. I have a basic idea in my head but just watch me try and get that written down on paper and you'll see me squirm.
Considering how I usually run games and how little prep work I do normally due to letting the players create most of the story I put a hell of a lot into the background for the campaign. My games time line runs whether the players do what they need to do or not. If they don't step up and be the heroes then some other group will and we'll just run the players story instead. They'll criss cross the epic storyline many times and if they aren't the ones driving it they'll still meet everyone and have some input even if it's not on the sharp end. I put a lot of detail into that time line for this very reason.
Now to find some way to reboot my writing brain.

Leeds United: Statement from owners
The owners of Leeds United have issued the following statement:In March 2013, Gulf Finance House (GFH), parent company of Leeds United FC owner GFH Capital, published its financial audited report that stated it was looking to sell its stake in the club.
To clarify and as previously stated, GFH Capital is looking for investment in part of its share in the club, not its entirety.
GFH Capital has been transparent since acquiring Leeds United and is continuing to look for strategic investors in part of the club that can invest in Leeds United, alongside GFH Capital, to ensure a long term, sustainable future.
Since GFH Capital took ownership of Leeds United, it has fulfilled its promise of investing in the club, with around £10 million having already been injected into the club; to strengthen the squad and for other working capital purposes.
Additional financial support will continue to be provided as required. Through cutting ticket prices, reducing 2013/14 season ticket costs and the introduction of half season tickets, attendances have risen at Elland Road .....
.....as GFH Capital continues with its goal of re-engaging existing fans and attracting new supporters to the club, plus the recent International Soccer Schools and 'Take it to the Kids' initiatives.
To date, GFH Capital has fulfilled the plans pledged and its strategy for the club remains the same; to build a group of strategic investors to put Leeds United in the best position both on and off pitch for the long term.

More BigLaw Firms Cut Associate Pay
Posted May 4, 2009 1:05 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Recent attorney pay cuts by Nixon Peabody and Seyfarth Shaw seem to be part of a growing law firm trend.
However, California-based law firms generally seem more willing to reduce associate salaries than those in New York, consultant Peter Zeughauser tells the Recorder.
And in Washington, D.C., firms cutting attorney pay are focusing on punishing low billers, reports the National Law Journal in an article reprinted by New York Lawyer (reg. req.).
"Law firms are starting to realize what was obvious to everyone else. They're saying to each other, 'We've been nuts all these years to be paying $160,000 as a starting salary' " says legal consultant Jerry Kowalski, who is based in New York City.

Ratto: Giants' Wilson now playing by show biz rules
"Wilson is by his own choice a creature of show business, and as such will now play by show business' rules, the first of which is, "You're as good as your last hit."... All he has to be is slightly better than he was a year ago, and he's home free. Otherwise, well, it isn't like he won't have been warned ... After all, what else are the fans and media for?"

ABIM Elects Jeanne Marrazzo, MD, Chair of its Subspecialty Board on Infectious Disease
Philadelphia, PA, July 2, 2012 - Jeanne Marrazzo, MD, MPH, has been named Chair of the
American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Subspecialty Board on Infectious Disease
. Currently serving as Medical Director of the Seattle STD/HIV Prevention and Training Center and Professor of Medicine, Infectious Disease at the
University of Washington
, Seattle, Washington, Dr. Marrazzo has been a member of the Subspecialty Board on Infectious Disease since 2010. ABIM sets the standards and certifies physicians practicing in internal medicine and its subspecialties who possess the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to provide high quality care.
ABIM's Subspecialty Board, composed of physicians who are board certified in infectious disease, guides ABIM's overall mission and direction as it works to improve health care quality. The components of the
ABIM Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program
reflect the guidelines of the American Board of Medical Specialties and encompass the six general competencies established by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
"My background and continuing education as an internist fundamentally inform my ability to do my work in infectious diseases, particularly as I increasingly provide primary care to people living longer with HIV infection," said Dr. Marrazzo. "Through my work on ABIM's subspecialty board, I have an exciting and unique opportunity to impact the quality of health care we provide to our patients."
Members of the subspecialty boards are experts in both academic medicine and practice, all of whom must be ABIM certified in their particular subspecialty. Participants of these boards apply their individual and collective knowledge toward the development of the policies, standards and requirements for certification and MOC in their subspecialty, with special focus on developing the cognitive exam that physicians must take to certify or maintain their certification in that field. The exam assesses essential diagnostic reasoning skills, evaluating how well a doctor can put together the patient's story and symptoms, make the right diagnosis and provide the appropriate care. Dr. Marrazzo is board certified in both internal medicine and infectious disease.
"Jeanne is a noted expert on infectious disease, her qualifications and dedication will help the infectious disease board as we create assessment programs that are both rigorous and robust," said Christine K. Cassel, MD, ABIM's President and CEO.
Dr. Marrazzo is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and of the Infectious Disease Society of America, and has been the Principal Investigator for numerous studies in the broad research arena of sexually transmitted infections, particularly as they relate to women's health concerns. Other major areas of research interest for Dr. Marrazzo include prevention of HIV acquisition in women, the genital microbiome, and the molecular epidemiology, pathogenesis, and management of bacterial vaginosis and related complications.
Dr. Marrazzo has published over 50 peer-reviewed articles, and written numerous book chapters. She is also the editor of a CDC-funded interactive site for education on viral hepatitis (
). She serves on the editorial boards of several major infectious disease journals.
For media inquiries contact Lorie Slass at 215-399-4005.
About ABIM
For more than 75 years, certification by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) has stood for the highest standard in internal medicine and its 19 subspecialties and has meant that internists have demonstrated - to their peers and to the public - that they have the clinical judgment, skills and attitudes essential for the delivery of excellent patient care. ABIM is not a membership society, but a non-profit, independent evaluation organization. Our accountability is both to the profession of medicine and to the public. ABIM is a member of the
American Board of Medical Specialties

We all remember our school lunch ladies. We could never forget the food they made, the kids they served and the uniform they wore. But how much do we really know about their job? To find out, some would say you should take a walk in their shoes, or in this case, a walk in their hair net. And let me tell you there's nothing like wearing a hair net and serving some good food.
But with 500 students to serve at East Middle School, along with another five other elementary schools to feed, I was scared. That's nearly 1,800 students! So I had to ask one of their lunch ladies, Dena Pachek, how does she do it? Dena explained they, "Do a lot of preparing, making sure everything is sanitary, making sure everything is food safe, and just everything we're doing is to help the students."
She's right. There's a lot of prepping. Today is taco day, but they get way more than tacos. On top of this hot meal option, which includes cooking chicken, rice, and corn, these kids are offered salads, apples, oranges, kiwis, sandwiches, wraps and the list goes on.
But with so many healthy options, you would think these meals could get pretty expensive, but they're not. Students at East Middle School only have the pay $2.55 per meal, and there are even reduced or free options. Dena says all you need to do is, "Come in. Speak with one of us and we can give them paperwork. They can go online to the Great Falls Public Schools website. Go to the lunch program site and we have all the computer information there so they can fill it out online and submit it."
Talk about a meal deal! But this meal requires a lot of work, even after the cooking process is over. Once they are hot and ready, 1,300 go to other schools. The rest stay here, but not for long.
When that lunch bell rings, the students come running and it is world wind! But it was a lot of fun. I got to work with great women, who love their job, and more importantly enjoy giving kids the nutrition they need. So next time you run into one of these ladies give them a plastic glove salute. They certainly deserve it!

Shimano has touched just about every component on the 9000 series to improve on what most thought was already perfect. The most obvious change is the jump to 11 speed, however dig a bit deeper under the surface and you will see there is much more. The crankset gets and new bolt diameter that will house compact, mid-compact and standard size chainrings. While they are at it, they decided to offer more front chainring options. The brakeset now works on a cam, so the modulation is improved and the braking power is increased. The front derailleur has a longer pivot arm that makes front shifting so smooth, it rivals electronic shifting. The dual controls brake/shift levers receive improved ergonomics and smoother cable routing. Simply put, this is the best Dura-Ace release to date and possible the best set of bicycle components ever produced.

A veteran Indiana Toll Road worker and a speeding motorist were killed Tuesday morning when a car crashed into a maintenance truck on the Toll Road in LaPorte County.
The speeding 2005 Hyundai Sante Fe struck the rear of a maintenance pickup about 11:30 a.m. in the westbound lanes of the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90) just east of the Michigan City exit near Westville, according to a release from Indiana State Police.
Toll Road employee Daniel J. Miller, 52, of LaPorte, had just exited the Ford pickup to get trimming equipment from the back when the Hyundai crashed into the rear, according to ISP. Miller was pronounced dead at the scene.
Miller was a 17-year Toll Road employee working for LaPorte District Maintenance Area 2, ISP said.
The driver of the Sante Fe was airlifted to Memorial Hospital of South Bend, where he was pronounced dead, State Police said. His name is not being released pending family notification.
The pickup truck was parked on the inner shoulder with its warning lights activated and a lit arrow board, State Police said. There were also signs behind the truck warning westbound traffic of the work.
The truck driver, Devin Standefer, 49, of LaPorte, was taken to Franciscan Saint Anthony's Health in Michigan City with non-life-threatening injuries, State Police said. Standefer is a 12-year Toll Road employee.
Both vehicles were totaled and westbound lanes were closed for about two hours.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

There is no question about the Affordable Care Act being more properlay labeled the Unaffordable Care Act. Like you, I have great respect for Mr. Donato. However, also like you I respectfully disagree with his assessment of supposed good of the legislation. The thing that cannot be denied is that the Act was passed without the Members of Congress knowing what it included. Fact: Then-Speaker Peolosi tells the Members that if they wanted to know what was in the legislation they had to vote for it first. The entire process is hardly a good example of a representative government that our Constitution provides.

The uterine fibroids are generally very slow growing tumors made from fibrous tissue and the muscle connected to the wall of the uterus. They come into sight and breed in women during their child bearing years.
The tumor might vary in size starting as a pinhead to the tip of a grapefruit. When many uterine fibroid treatment are there then the size of uterus might increase to any dimension and may imitate a pregnancy.

Thank you rodniiwin.
Some readers might think you are off topic here. But whenever the subject of Obamacare comes up the two words that immediately pop into my head are "Bacterial Vaginosis."
p.s. You're very cute.
- Spencerblog said...
I have one more question after viewing your blog. Does Obamacare mandate the covering of "Pearly Penile Papules Removal"?
I don't know what they are but they sound pretty awful.

Dectectives from Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Dept's Violent Crimes unit has charged one man with unrelated crimes as they continue their investigation of a shooting in Savannah on Monday.
Dectives have charged Roderick Bo Jackson, 29, of the 500 block of West 51st Street with obstruction of justice and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Jackson was detained on the first block of East 60th Street minutes after the shooting occurred.
Jackson, a twice convicted felon, matched the description of one of the two men seen running from the area after the woman was shot in her back yard four blocks from Atlantic Avenue and Columbus Drive.
A second man matching descriptions of the other suspect was also detained, but no charges have been filed.
Jaconson was most recently released from the Valdosta Transitional Center in 2011 after serving 21 months of his six-year sentence for armed robbery.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 912.234.2020 or text CRIMES (274637). Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.

at Banshee, Exaile, or Amarok. It's intended for easy browsing and playing of
your music collection. It supports several audio formats and CD playback, and
can keep track of several different music library locations. (A nice improvement
over other audio applications that track only one library).
Decibel mostly uses Python, gtk+, and gstreamer. It also needs a few Gnome
libraries to handle the Gnome keyring for Last.fm integration. It should still
be lightweight even if you don't use Gnome. If you do use Gnome, it will
be fully integrated into your desktop.
Decibel has optional additional runtime integration with various Gnome libraries
such as gnome-applets, gnome-media, and a few others. More on this later.
First, let's take a look at the available USE flags. Since Decibel uses the
modular gstreamer framework, you can choose the kinds of audio formats you want
to be able to play. Decibel currently supports WMA (via ffmpeg), mp4 (aac), mp3,
mp2, ac3, APE, FLAC, Musepack, WavPack, and Ogg Vorbis.
Here are the USE flags available for the Decibel ebuild:
Decibel's ebuild depends on gst-plugins-meta, a metapackage that provides
most of the audio codecs. You can add support for the desired codec by
activating the appropriate USE flag for gst-plugins-meta:
You can set your desired USE flags globally in /etc/make.conf, or
locally in /etc/portage/package.use. For example, to enable support
for everything but Musepack, you could do the following:
Code Listing 2.1: Setting USE flags in package.use
# echo "media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta ffmpeg flac mp3 vorbis" >> /etc/portage/package.use
# echo "media-sound/decibel-audio-player -musepack aac cdda gnome-keyring libnotify" >> /etc/portage/package.use"
Once your flags are set, install Decibel:
Code Listing 2.2: Installing Decibel
# emerge -avt decibel-audio-player
One thing Decibel doesn't do is edit tags. Its creators believe such
functionality is best provided by dedicated tag editing applications. Remember,
Decibel focuses on being a real audio player focused on playback. There
are plenty of other tagging apps
available, such as TagTool.
Decibel has a couple of commandline switches you may want to use.
decibel-audio-player --no-glossy-cover removes the shiny effect overlayed
on album covers, which can make them hard to see. The -p switch uses the
playbin2 GStreamer component to play files. This adds support for ReplayGain and
gapless playback. You can view the other commandline switches by running
decibel-audio-player --help.
Decibel is new, exciting, and going places, so stay on top of it! Here are a few

Originally published: Dec 4, 2013 - 6:38 pm
Ron Burgundy was supposed to tackle the world of sports journalism by co-hosting ESPN's "SportsCenter" on Thursday at 6 p.m., but plans have changed.
ESPN announced Wednesday that the special appearance was called off.
Ron Burgundy's SportsCenter appearance Thursday has been canceled in light of breaking news out of Florida State regarding Jameis Winston.— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) December 5, 2013
The network teased the upcoming episode by releasing an interview between Burgundy (played by Will Ferrell) and Denver Broncos' quarterback Peyton Manning.
Despite Manning Manning having accolades coming out his jersey, the discussion mainly focused on facial hair.
Burgundy's canceled ESPN gig comes two weeks before the release of the "Anchorman" sequel, which arrives in theaters Dec. 20.

November 23, 2005 from the Georgia Division for Mental Health
ATLANTA - The Georgia Division for Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases (MHDDAD) has launched Project Hope, a crisis support program targeted to evacuees experiencing emotional stress in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Project Hope will be administered statewide through 11 Community Service Boards, as well as Behavioral Health Link, a 24-hour information and referral hotline. It is estimated that 90,000 evacuees currently reside in Georgia and may be in need of counseling.
The program is funded through a grant by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to partner with Georgia in developing a statewide program to assist disaster survivors. "We are finding that many Hurricane Katrina evacuees are experiencing a combination of reactions including confusion, fear, and hopelessness," said Gwen Skinner, Director for MHDDAD. "These are normal reactions to a traumatic situation. However, for those who are experiencing prolonged symptoms, we are providing 24/7 counseling through the 1-800-273-TALK helpline."
Evacuees can call at any time from anywhere in Georgia to talk to a trained worker who will listen and provide the caller with immediate access to professional counseling services in their area. Information is also available in Spanish. Hurricane Katrina evacuees, as well as families and friends who are supporting them, are eligible for assistance. Outreach services and counseling are also provided in homes, malls, and churches.

can i use divider or rule like HR in columns?
Hi there,
Yes, the [hr] shortcode makes the thin divider

Child Themes?
I need to make some major changes to the header of this theme to accomodate a block on info. I intended to do this by creating a child theme but each time I create the child theme everything breaks.
Any thoughts on how best to create a child theme with this theme?
Hi Mark,
All you need to do to make the child theme work is change functions.php line 113 to:
wp_register_style('main-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array(), '1.0', 'screen');
We've included that for the next update. The header.php within your child theme should work fine – we've got users that have used a child theme and it's worked perfectly.
What breaks?
- Ed
Hi, I have installed the revolution slider and layered a .png image over a you tube video. It works perfectly in all browsers except for IE8 & IE9. The video is showing but no the layered image. Any idea why this may be?
Thank you!
Hi there,
It's likely a limitation in IE8/9, unless it's a known bug with Revolution Slider. My guess would be the former, unfortunately!
- Ed
Hi, I had originally embeded the youtube code as html instead of pasting a new video layer and entering the video id. Ive since corrected this and it works! Thank you
Great, you're welcome
- Ed
Hi. I have two questions. How do I link my image using "single image element"? Also, how does "code snippet element" work? I tried pasting a code into the element, but it doesn't turn into a button. It simply stays as code. Thank you! N.
Hi there,
When you use the single image element, you can edit the element and upload an image within it / set the settings for that image.
The code snippet element is for display code in writing (not for embedding it). If you are looking to input your own code. Pleas use the Raw HTML block.
Hope that helps.
- Ed
Ed, thank you for addressing my questions. I uploaded the image using the "single image element," however, I don't see the option of adding a link to the image. Where do I find it? Thank you. N.
Ed, I've updated the theme, and now I am able to add a link to the image. Thank you!
- Ed
I've edited the header, but I have no idea how to edit the footer. I've selected the footer layout in the "footer options," but I don't see any way to edit the footer. Please, help. Thank you!
Hi there,
If you check Appearance > Widgets, you will be able to add widgets to the footer columns here.
- Ed
Thank you, Ed!
Hi, How can I increase the size of the phone number in the header and make bold?
You can add and edit the following css to Pinpoint Options > General Options > Custom CSS:
.header-items h3.phone-number { font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; }
Hope that helps.
- Ed
Hi please disregard my previous question, I would actually like to know how I can increase the font size of the menu items in the navigation bar in the header? Thank you!
You can add and edit the following css to Pinpoint Options > General Options > Custom CSS:
nav .menu li { font-size: 12px; }
- Ed
How do I go about configuring what appears in the blog widget that I insert via the Swift Page Builder? I'd like to turn off the option to display the post details. If there is no config option, where is it located in the code?
Hi there,
You can remove it by adding the following css to Pinpoint Options > General Options > Custom CSS:
.blog-item-details { display: none!important; }
- Ed
Thanks! That did the trick. Another question: Is there any way to control what portfolio categories are included in the pagination. I'm using the portfolio items for a mixture of content and want only one category to be considered in the pagination. Thanks!
Try giving this ago. Edit single-portfolio.php and try changing line 176-179 with the code here: http://pastie.org/private/7ynlsx5slnixh0mbapunq
Let me know.
- Ed
Hi Ed—that didn't seem to work. The only thing it did was to make the pagination disappear. Is there code that will only show the next item of the same category?
That was meant to do so, and follows the standard WordPress function. I think this is a bug within WordPress. Can you install this to hopefully fix it – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/previous-and-next-post-in-same-taxonomy/
Let me know. If not, I have another idea
- Ed
Hi. This theme looks incredible, looking at purchasing, just one hesitation, I'm wanting to include a prominent sign up form (email and name fields) on the front page in the slider area, is this a widget included already or something I would need to create?
I tempted to just purchase anyway. Great work guys.
Hi there,
Thanks for the kind words and your interest.
You can paste code within a layer on the revolution slider in the provided box. We've had someone do this before and it worked perfectly
Hope that helps.
- Ed
Ed, you're a star. Really appreciate your feedback, just heading up to the purchase button now…
Thanks again
You're welcome, happy to help
If you need anything else, just give us a shout.

Portfolio in this theme can be sortable by horisontal string of tags (or categories) – or only dropout menu? ( i need to show all categories of portfolio at the same time)
Hi there,
By default, all items are shown. Only when you use the filter do the items get changed to show only the items in the selected category.
Hope that helps.
- Ed
filtering is performed with only the aid of a drop-down menu – or all of the tags can be displayed anywhere in the string of portfolio?
or: can i filter portfolio works without drop-down menu?
We are thinking about adding an alternative display option in the next update.
- Ed
Truly powerful theme and i love it! I want to switch from Gridlocked premium theme and now i am deciding between premium Gentle wp theme and this one If you could honestly tell me that i can achieve similar look with your theme (and get lot more features in one bundle) i am definitely going for this one. However i have few pre purchase questions. First two are crucial for me.
1. I really love the font used in "Gentle WP theme". Could i replicate the same look in your theme? http://mpcreation.pl/themeforest/gentle/masonry-sidebar-left/ When loading Pinpoint it show old font for about one second and then it switch to webfonts (it will be noticable and not desired with slower connections with mobile) Is it possible to set loading of fonts to higher priority with some minor tweaks and support from you? This could be dealbreaker for me. Gentle theme doesn´t seems to have this issue and they are also using google fonts, i suppose.
2. Main reason i want to quit with my Gridlocked theme is that it´s way too complicated to create simple post with image or video. With video i needed to set custom embed code with certain size for main blog view, and different one for single post view. Similar with images. Does your theme interpret this automagically? For example with simple image and text post, could i create new blog post, just insert image, publish and your theme would handle all the stuff and display it correctly in masonry blog view?
3. Feature you have discussed previously about portfolio would be appreciated. I would love to disable dropdown filter menu for portfolio and see all portfolio categories aligned and visible in one line. Sidebar with portfolio (as it is used in Gentle theme) would be awesome too but maybe it´s too much to ask
4. I believe there is some bug in your example pages Above slider on main view there is some small little dot, it is appearing in all example pages. http://themes.swiftpsd.com/index.php?theme=pinpoint It´s not appearing in your main demo site, so i guess it is some small issue.
Hope you don´t fall asleep while reading and looking forward to your answers to help me decide which theme to choose. Thanks
Hi there,
Thanks for your interest
1) I can't see any loading issues when viewing from my side. Can you let me know what setup you are seeing this on? We are too using Google Fonts.
2) Yes, we take all the difficulty out of it. If you want a video, you just provide the URL, and we do the rest. Same with an image. You pick one from your library / upload one, and it will be resized to fit the space.
3) We have received a few requests for this, so will see what we can do about getting it into v1.5
4) Can you email me a link to the direct page for this, so that I can see where you are referring to please?.. It's likely using old code, that we haven't updated yet (but is fixed in the theme).
Hope that helps
- Ed
Is it possible to add links to the bottom of the page? In the area where the copyright is? When I add the footer and put a widget like "pages" it seems to just list all my links, but makes the footer stretch long. So maybe if there is a way to add some html in the copyright area would be a nice addition, or maybe adding the ability for a footer menu.
Hi there,
You could paste the links in a text box widget in the footer? Or use the "Custom Menu" widget?
Hope that helps.
- Ed
Quick Q, this should be simple: I can see how to set the background image for the page itself, but I want to set a background image for where the text content is presented. So not the HTML body, but the container itself. How can I do this?
Hi there,
You can add a background to the following selector:
#container {}
Hope that helps
- Ed
Excellent – thanks!
Quick suggestion: the Google Fonts dropdown menu in the admin is really slow! Hard to use too, there are just too many fonts. I'd almost rather just browse the Google Fonts site, find what I like, and then copy/paste the name or something into the Pinpoint admin. This would be much easier.
Or maybe somehow revise the selection menu. There are just way too many fonts to cram into that little pulldown.
Thanks for the suggestion. It's on the list to look at things to improve, which we'll hopefully get to once the more important things are done
- Ed
Been thinking about this some more. It would be best, I think, to just have a pulldown menu or a list, without rendering the fonts.. just show them as plain text. And then maybe just have a link to the Google Fonts site so we can preview fonts there. As it is now, it is rather slow and sluggish.
Thank you!
Will get this improved in the next version
- Ed
My last question for today, hopefully How do I style the top nav? I want to change the font and font size (separate from the body font), change the height of the navbar to fit a bigger font, without breaking anything.
You can style the font size and nav size by using the following custom css:
nav .menu li { font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; }
The font uses the body font, if you' want to use a different font then you'd need to change this manually.
- Ed
Hello. Congratulations for this great theme.
With the import options of Wordpress I've set up in local the theme to look exactly like the main demo, but the revolution sliders doesn't appear ("Revolution Slider Error: Slider with alias homesliderthin not found"). Are they included in the demo? How can i set up them?
Thanks in advance
You can download it from here – http://d.pr/f/RGgC
Hope that helps
- Ed
Thanks Ed
Hello, is there any way to set a private area? please.
Hi there,
Sure. All you need to do is set the visibility of the page (where the publish options are) to password protected.
Hope that helps
- Ed
First off, awesome work. Great theme to work with!
A few questions.
1. I have versions 1.0 and see that version 1.4 is available. It says I will lose all customization of my site if I upgrade. Does that include all the PinPoint Page Layouts? How can I prevent losing what I've done?
2. I have my Blog page set up with the page layout and "Blog" option in the layout. The style does not change from Standard, Mini, Masonry when I change it, and no images show up on the Blog page. Featured images to not appear. Only images I "insert into post" show up for that post, but I don't want that. I've uploaded images every which way and no luck.
3. The FAQ section doesn't show up when I add it to a page layout, but there are around 10 FAQ that I have added to that option.
4. Is there a way to turn off the slide transition effects and just have them 'slide'?
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help, have a great weekend!
Thanks Brian, glad you're enjoying it
1) You will only lose any customisations that you've made to the actual files within the theme. Any content/options etc is all stored in the database, and won't be changed.
2) Make sure you don't have the posts page set in Settings > Reading, as this will force the page to use the archive layout.
3) Have you set the category for this? Edit it and save it, that should sort it out.
4) Where are you looking to set this for?
Thanks, you too
- Ed
Thank you so much!
Theme Update, Blog and FAQ are all set, thanks!
For the Slider effects I have it on my homepage and it does all the flashy transitions/fades etc… Just want a normal slide show.
Thanks for all your help, greatly appreciated.
Hi Brian,
I'm guessing your using the Revolution slider? If so, you need to edit the slider, and the slides within. At the top of each edit slide screen, you will find the transition animation selector.
Hope that helps.
- Ed
Brilliant, thanks for your patience
All set.
Hi Ed,
On a blog post I would like to link the comment icon to the #comment-area id (like it does on an archive page). How can this be done?
Also, is it possible to disable the 'Love it' functionality? Right now I am setting .comments-likes .love-it-wrapper to display:none.
Last question (for now :-)), are there any plans to add more hooks to pinpoint?
P.S. Thanks for an awesome theme!
Regards, Alex
Hi there,
Are you referring to the count within the post?
You can disable the love it functionality by removing line 46 from functions.php:
include(SF_INCLUDES_PATH . '/plugins/love-it-pro/love-it-pro.php');
No plans at the moment, but maybe in the future!
You're welcome!

We are redesigning our website and have lots of java script. Before I purchase I have questions. Specifically we use it to allow small banner ads to rotate as a page is refreshed, along with other java script on our site.
1. Can I incorporate java script into this theme? 2. It is already set up for Woocomerence. In your documentation does it explain how to connect to paypal? Thank you Rick
Hi Rick,
1) You should have no issue doing this. You can easily add it to the box that we provide where you can add tracking scripts.
2) Not in our documentation, as this is done within WooCommerce. http://docs.woothemes.com/document/paypal-standard/
Hope that helps
- Ed
Thank you. Can I change the colors of the background to any color? Do you also have documentation for all the attributes and instruction for uploading? Thank you
Yes you can change the background to any colour. We have documentation on uploading, but not sure what attributes you are referring to?
- Ed
Thank you

Kindness: Kindness is the stage name of British musician Adam Bainbridge. He first drew attention from the media with his cover of The Replacements' "Swingin' Party". His first LP, World, You Need a Change of Mind, was released in 2012. Joakim: Joakim is one of France's foremost electronic musicians, but remains, stylistically, hard to pin down. With a background in classical music, indie rock and mid 90s electronic music it becomes apparent that his lineage has much to do with his breeding. Our story starts at University, where Joakim found himself the surrogate father of a synthesiser after a departed campus mate callously left it in his room. The debut album 'Tiger Sushi' was composed entirely of free-jazz samples in a cheap studio setup, before moving into more personal territory with 2003's sophomore album 'Fantômes.' In 2007 we saw the release of the ambitious Monsters and Silly Songs' [2007], combining post-punk, disco, electronics and, well, silly songs. From here Joakim went a short road of discovery through the media of the Remix, enjoying a prolific period remixing artists such as Goldfrapp, Friendly Fires, DJ Mehdi, Cut Copy, Tiga, Fisherspooner, Late of Pier, Max Berlin and Zombie Zombie amongst others. The former informed Joakim's latest album 'Milky Ways' (2009) which combined the charm of Kosmische with the efficiency of Pop Music. "Making a pure dance album would almost be like composing an album entirely in F major," says Joakim. "I jump from one idea to the next. I simply have to try everything and see where it leads, to find my way."

|Three countywide tax issues on fall election ballot
|Monday, August 12, 2013 3:20 PM
By MELINDA KRICK • Progress Editor
Voters in this year's general election will determine three countywide tax levy renewals and several local tax issues, plus fill seats for most villages, all townships and three school districts.
Aug. 7 was the filing deadline for the election, which will be held Tuesday, Nov. 5. The filing deadline for write-in candidates is at 4 p.m. on Aug. 26.
The three countywide levies are all renewals on behalf of the library system, health department and Enhanced 911 system.
Filing for tax issues were:
• Paulding County – renewal, 0.2 mill, 10 years, for health programs of the general health district.
• Paulding County – replacement with a decrease of 0.126 mill, to constitute a tax of 1.074 mills, five years, for operating and maintaining an Enhanced 911 system.
• Paulding County – renewal, 2.17 mills, CPT (continuing period of time), for current operating expenses for the Paulding County Carnegie Library.
The lone school issue to be decided is a Paulding Exempted Village School District renewal, in the sum of $418,250 for an average of 2.36 mills, five years, for emergency requirements.
Residents in eight villages will vote on several issues:

• Jackson Township – renewal of 0.5 mill and an increase of 0.5 mill to constitute a tax of 1 mill, five years, for EMS.
• Latty Township – renewal of 1.25-mill, five-year levy for fire.
Villages will elect council members; in some places, residents will cast ballots for mayors or board of public affairs.
• Village of Antwerp – candidates for four council seats are Steve Derck, Danny Gordon, Karen R. Lee, Rudie J. Reeb, Michael Rohrs, Larry R. Ryan, Larry Lee Smith and Charles K. West.
