How Spanish Desserts May Contain Hidden Animal Products
The first word of Catalan that I learned on the Spanish island of Mallorca was forn, which means bakery. Roaming the streets of Palma, I passed a forn every few blocks. In their front windows, they displayed round boxes of various sizes stamped with the word ensaimada. The boxes implied pastries the size of dinner plates. What was this ensaimada? I had to know.
An ensaimaida, according to me, is a perfect specimen of a pastry. It uncoils itself like a cinnamon roll. Then it powders your lips with sugar. Then it dissolves from an airy puff into something deep and remeniscent. It tastes like the lovechild of a croissant and a powdered sugar donut. I swooned, right there in the forn. I looked over at my travel mate, Laura, whose eyes were closed in enjoyment. We concluded that Mallorcan bakeries are fornographic.
That first week in September, we were headed to a farewell-to-summer party on the beach near Palma. Needing something to contribute to the barbeque, I decided on an extra-large ensaimada for dessert. The Mallorcan Spaniards saw the familiar box and smiled. Everyone from Mallorca had something to say about ensaimadas. I learned that they're a tradition that dates back to the 17th century. The forns of Mallorca have developed specialized ensaimada-measuring equipment for perfect proportions of ingredients every time. Apparently you can't find a real ensaimada outside of Mallorca. Yet, the Mallorcans ate such small pieces. I uncoiled about a foot of the pastry for myself.
A while later, I noticed there was still some of the pastry left on the food table. How was this possible? I stopped wondering and finished it off. Just then, my Mallorcan friend Marta caught me sugar-fingered. She enlightened me with one more fact about ensaimadas. "Did you know? The word saim in Catalan means lard. A real ensaimada must be made with pork lard." The English equivalent would be a pastry called an enlarded.
On an island of abundant pork products such as the equally traditional pork paste called sobrasada, I should have figured. I knew I tasted something heavy. I also remembered other places in the world that had no problem using lard as an ingredient. In Central America, I had seen street markets where bags of pure white lard were sold by the kilo. In Xela, Guatemala, a group of Mennonite missionaries had capitalized on the ready availability of such a sinful ingredient. They had started a bakery of American-style banana bread, pies and cupcakes that were figuratively and literally heart-stopping.
How is a vegetarian traveler to know whether or not her local baked goods contain animal fat? Have a friend try it first. If it tastes too good to be true, it probably is.

Over all I preferred the buffet...more choices, more vegetables and you could eat and go.
I've been on 7 other cruises, none on this line, they were a bit more expensive and a few years back. The food on those ships was better...but... food on this ship was quite good most of the time. Though the 'lobster bisque' should be renamed 'oxtail soup' - for that is what it Though the 'lobster bisque' should be renamed 'oxtail soup' - for that is what it looked and tasted like.
I thought there was more vibration then on other ships I've been on. it didn't cause me any sleepless nights...but was noticeable not only in the cabin but even more so on some of the upper decks.
Yes, there was a problem with the water system for a couple of days salty water and ice. but ....things happen.
Three days out I developed 'shingles' I thought the medical staff was excellent.... I didn't have travel insurance so I don't get my money back.. but wasn't that expensive...and worth the price. Even received a typed up report to take back to my regular GP.
There were a few issues with excursions.
Overall I'd do it again! just maybe not the singles part!.

LAS VEGAS -- The largest annual children's book festival in Las Vegas wrapped up at the historic 5th St. school in downtown Las Vegas.
"I like all of the adventures and excitement," said Peyton Wood. From tales of wild things to secret adventures, Wood says reading is enchanting. She's one of thousands of avid readers at the Vegas Valley Children's Book Festival.
It's designed to illustrate the importance of literacy. Teri Koehler with the Best Friends Animal Society is at the festival introducing parents and kids to reading by using trained rescue animals.
"It helps kids get relaxed with reading because they're reading to our certified therapy animals. So, in that environment there is less stress and less pressure to read. They become very comfortable reading," Koehler said.
Every year the festival has grown and attracted more people. Authors like Frank Fiorello think the growth means more parents are getting back to the basics of reading.
"Getting kids to open a book, to hold it in their hand; there's no substitute for that and I tell parents that children are never too young." Fiorello says huge literary events like this could also play a small role in improving the nation's report card.
The Nevada report card shows 26 percent of eighth graders were proficient in reading this year compared to 22 percent, two years ago. And 29 percent were proficient in math versus 25 percent, two years ago.
The school district's Assistant Superintendent of Accountability, Sue Daellenbach, says the gains are proof. "It shows us we still have work to do but that we're on the right path in getting a more rigorous curriculum for students in the state of Nevada
Organizers are still adding up this weekend's attendance but think they at least met last year attendance of 10,000 people.

The couple has made its fortune through real estate property, which has land in Woburn, Wakefield, Stoneham and other areas in Massachusetts. Bill has also served on the Winchester Planning Board and was director of the and .

For a kid-friendly BBQ bash try one or both of these activities that take barbecue foods to a silly level!
Build Your Own Burger Bar
Let the kids do the work! As an activity, we had the kids build their own sliders. Set up the kids' table with an array of basic burger toppings and let them go to town.
You'll want to be sure you have:
Mini cheeseburger sliders
Sliced Tomatoes
Lettuce Leaves
Sliced Onion
Sliders are the perfect sized portion for little mouths. They're also a great alternative to the usual burger if you can't make them on the grill.
Find them in your grocer's freezer section at your local grocery store.
Summer Fun Photobooth
Summer memories from childhood will last a lifetime. A great way to physically document them though is with a photobooth.
Watermelon is kid-friendly and a BBQ must, so we used the fruit as our inspiration.
First, we cut up extra wedges of watermelon and placed them on wooden skewers as photo props.
Then, we hung paper streamers for a colorful back drop and got silly!
The kids had a blast with this and it cost so little to do.

Lower fuel prices are driving a forecast of nearly 2 million Carolinians who are expected to travel during Thanksgiving, according to AAA Carolinas.
The travel agency reported that 617,110 people in South Carolina and 1.26 million people in North Carolina will travel more than 50 miles from home during the holiday - a 1 percent increase from last year.
Ninety percent of those who travel will drive, 8 percent will fly and 2 percent will use trains and buses, according to AAA.
SLIDESHOW: Air travelers depart from GSP
Experts said that gas prices have dropped significantly in the past two months, to an average of $3.13 in South Carolina and $3.31 in North Carolina.
"The lower price at the pump will encourage more people to drive this Thanksgiving," said AAA Carolinas President and CEO David Parsons.
AAA reported that more Carolinians will travel closer to home, averaging about 588 miles round-trip.
Hotel rates are relatively flat compared to last year, according to AAA.
Most construction projects will be halted during the four-day weekend, but experts urged drivers to use caution when navigating the tricky orange-cone zones.

I have a terrific signup/signin setup which works great in FF but is giving me grief in IE (two problems). Here's how it works:
On whatever page you are you can click sign in or sign up. A div with a semitransparent png background appears with the appropriate dialog (div) on top.
The first problem I have is that the div with the png background allows interaction with the page below it (only in IE). So roll overs work, and you can click on links. This is not desirable. How can I prevent this from happening?
I tried setting the div's mouseover and mouseout events to stopBubbling, but that didn't help.
The second problem is that the labels on the first dialog (signup) aren't showing up. They're the same code as the second dialog (signin).
I'm confused. Any help appreciated.

Laundry tabs are a must on cloth diapers that use hook and loop closures (like velcro or aplix), but I greatly prefer snaps on my cloth diapers. They just last so much longer -- even the higher quality hook and loop gets really worn out after a few months. I even had all of my hook and loop diapers converted to snaps so I could use them through more than one kid!

Bamboo and hemp make even better soakers than flannel. They're something like 7 times more absorbant than cotton. I've gotten some bamboo for soakers at Celtic Cloths, which carries all kinds of cloth diapering fabric. I also got some bamboo velour from them which is so amazingly soft for the lining!kansascitykatiehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651212972305104793.post-69192536225870416352012-07-20T14:48:01.964-04:002012-07-20T14:48:01.964-04:00I too think it would make a GREAT class and would ...I too think it would make a GREAT class and would recommend to MANY to take the class. I have made some CD for my babies and I find it so fun! You are in charge of the fun colors they wear! And so easy! I agree that snaps are the way to go rather than velcro. But a snap press is so easy. How fun!

There is quite a lot to learn about fit, materials, washing etc etc. I would recommend the lovely community on Cloth Nappy Tree. Sending out some of your makes to testers is a really good idea because there are so many variables that make or break a nappy.

For ...A few practical things regarding the diapers. For velcro ones, laundry tabs to fold down the velcro tabs while washing is almost a must. Otherwise all the diapers stick together in the wash and they wear out quicker. Also, I'm not sure about using a cotton knit over top of the PUL as an outer. You might get wicking issues with that. The cotton knits are usually used in fitteds that have a separate PUL cover placed over them. And one more thing about velcro- you can't use the regular velcro from the store- it wears out too quickly. JoAnn does have the Babyville Boutique type which is Aplix or Touchtape which lasts longer and is wider for the strip across the front of the diaper. There are whole forums on places like Diaper Swappers that are devoted to making cloth diapers. It can be an addiction since they are so cute :)Juliehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651212972305104793.post-73852124321844332402012-07-16T10:28:07.912-04:002012-07-16T10:28:07.912-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Emilyhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651212972305104793.post-14457075130839190452012-07-16T10:27:58.024-04:002012-07-16T10:27:58.024-04:00I have a whole box of cloth diapers on my attic.

At first my newborn was way too small to use them, he drowned in them, so I started out with paper. And then, when I wanted to switch back, I just couldn't . I'm weak. I know. I just wanted to be able to throw out the diapers and not having to wash them. *hangs head in shame* ;-)

Anyway, these look not only very good in a practical way, but also absolutely adorable. I think it would be a great class teaching how to sew these.

Rest in Peace, Colin McRae
Colin McRae, you were a great man and a greater rally driver. You were my idol and I can't believe you're gone. I hope whever you are you're with your son.
For those who didn't know who Colin McRae was, he was the worlds all time greatest rally driver. I watched in awe at the age of 3 when he won the World Rally Championship with Subaru. He will be missed by all of his fans worldwide. My thoughts and respects are with his family.
Colin Steele McRae died at 4:10pm on 14th September 2007 in a helicopter crash near his home in Lanark, Scotland alongside his friend, his son and his sons friend.

Predicting Equipment Failures in the Process Plant
Now You Have Option of Using Your Existing Process Historian as the Front End for a Vibration Monitoring System
Your process plant probably has some large items of rotating machinery that could benefit from vibration monitoring, or maybe you're contemplating such an installation. In either case, you now have the option of using your existing process historian as the front end for a vibration monitoring system.
"Historically, vibration data collection rates necessary to allow detailed machinery diagnostics were too fast for plant process historians, particularly when a system encompassed dozens or hundreds of vibration channels," says Jonathan Fox, senior software development engineer at Metrix Setpoint.
"As a result, stand-alone vibration monitoring infrastructures evolved, with their own proprietary databases, servers, display clients, security models and network connections. However, as the capabilities of the OSIsoft PI System have improved, the ability to treat vibration waveforms as simply another type of time series data in the PI System database has become practical, and is already in use at multiple plant sites," explains Fox.
This is a better approach for many companies. "Eastman Chemical has been an OSIsoft PI user for many years, and it's our standard process data historian," notes Greg Bayne, control systems engineer with Eastman Chemical Co.'s Texas operations.
"Being able to mesh machine vibration with process data easily and to have that data time/date synchronized is very beneficial. Before, data had to be exported from the proprietary vibration system and manipulated to match up with the process data, making analysis of an event very tedious and difficult. We also have a tremendous amount of in-house support for PI, all the way from the server implementation to ProcessBook expertise," adds Bayne.
To implement this concept, Eastman Chemical purchased a vibration monitoring system from Metrix for its plant in Longview, Texas. The system has about 80 vibration measurement points on six machine trains, including two centrifugal compressors, two centrifugal refrigeration compressors and two large, vertical, double-inlet centrifugal pumps.
Vibration proximity probe transducers on the machines are used for radial shaft movement detection at each bearing location, and for thrust monitoring of shaft axial movement on each separate case on the centrifugal compressors. Accelerometers are mounted on the gearbox housing to monitor case vibration.
These devices are connected with field wiring to the control room, where they terminate at the Metrix panel, which is connected to the plant's PI servers via Ethernet. The setpoint-to-PI-adapter software application written by Metrix transfers data to the PI system.
"The biggest challenge was optimizing data collection settings in the Metrix rack and PI compression settings to find a balance between minimizing collected data, while still acquiring meaningful waveform data. We initially collected massive amounts of data, but through several iterations we've found the right balance. Of course, this was with only one operating unit online, so we'll need to go through this process as we bring future Metrix systems online, but we've learned a great deal that should help with this process," explains Bayne.
Although the Metrix hardware uses an open protocol and can communicate with most databases, the current focus is on integration with the OSIsoft PI system. "The PI system has the broadest customer base, and its database performance meets our needs. However, we've seen interest in integration with other systems, namely proprietary condition-monitoring software developed by turbo machinery OEMs. The way that data is collected in our hardware is the same for all applications, and all that's needed for communication with external systems is an Ethernet link and a small software program to translate the data into the correct database format," says Fox.

Okay, when I put the question out there…what do you want me to write about…and agreed to write about whatever was suggested, I knew it might get interesting. One of the topics I was asked about was my personal masturbation fantasy. Hmmm….I decided to modify the topic slightly because well, I just did:-)
I have been contemplating what I call "masturbation manifestation" through "orgasmic meditation" for quite some time, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to share. I'm sure many of you have watched movies like The Secret and What the Bleep Do We Know? If not, the basic idea is that we have the ability to create our reality through the power of our minds.
I wholeheartedly agree. However, this entire line of thinking can get pretty complicated when we start to think about negative aspects of our lives and say that we are responsible for those experiences. That is not what I am saying. What I am saying is that, there are aspects of our lives that we are able to alter through positive thought, energy, and the power of prayer or intention.
When I think of energy, specifically the most powerful energy, I think of life force energy, or sexual energy. In fact, I researched the use of sexual energy throughout history. What I found is that sex magic/sexual manifestation has been around for a very, very longtime. So, call it silly if you like, but when I am manifesting something in my life, I direct not only my mind, intention, and positive thoughts, but also my sexual or orgasmic energy towards my desired outcome.
For me, the process goes something like this…I run a bath, fill the tub with hot water, bubbles and a few drops of organic essential oils, then light a candle, turn out the lights, strip down, sink into the water and simply bask in the beauty of the water, sensual aroma and candlelight. I then begin breathing deeply while focusing on my sexual energy. I imagine drawing my energy in through my yoni and up through all of my chakras until it reaches the crown of my head.
I imagine my energy flowing gently through the air and circling back down through my yoni. I continue to visualize and feel this "loop" of sexual energy flowing through every cell in my body. I then begin exploring my body, truly feeling my body and energy….as my arousal deepens, I continue breathing deeply, feeling the intense power of my sexual energy as it begins to increase in intensity.
Then I focus my sexual or life force energy towards my desired outcome. For instance, if I am trying to make an important decision, I focus on the question. If I focus long enough, an answer will come to me. The more I manifest through orgasmic meditation, the more skilled I become and the faster my answer comes to me (seriously, no pun intended). I have an extremely visual mind, so I see my answer rather than hear it, but everyone is unique and there is no right or wrong way to manifest or gain clarity.
When I feel focused, I imagine my energy flowing from my yoni towards my desired outcome. I often create some sort of an affirmation to go with my vision. Then I give in to arousal and allow my orgasmic energy to flow….I can literally feel the energy surrounding me. At some point I draw the energy back into me with the thought clearly in my mind that I have solved my dilemma and the positive outcome is secure. I then relax back into my bath, intentionally slow my breathing and give in to the essence of the moment.
It is not only a wonderful way to focus or make decisions in life, it is also an excellent way to let go of stress or tension in your body. You can also lay in bed, sit in secluded and private space in nature, or stand in a hot shower..As long as you keep your intention positive, I truly believe anything is possible. This can even be a spiritual process if you are in the right mind frame. You can also modify the process to include your lover.
From my heart to yours, Joy
