The Christmas lights are on, trees are going up - the Mince Pie Project is back. Now in its third year, the charity has become a foodie Christmas tradition, raising £30,000 last year alone by getting top chefs to make mince pies. Each year, an assembly of chefs design and bake two boxes of 50 mince pies each. One box will be auctioned to the highest bidder and the second will be put up for raffle, with tickets costing £2 a go.
All money raised will be split between charities Food Cycle, which serves meals to millions of people in Britain at risk of food
poverty, and Kids Company, which provides practical, emotional and educational support for inner-city
Over 100 chefs are set to take part this year, the highest number ever. Those vying to raise the most money include: Tom Aikens, Jason Atherton, Sat Bains, Raymond Blanc, Michel Roux Jr, Mark
Sargeant and Marcus Wareing.
Duck & Waffle's Dan Doherty brought in the most money last year, with his gingerbread flavoured pies being auctioned for £1,900; he will be hoping for a similar result when he takes part again this year. Other creative takes on the Christmas classic in previous years have included a
deep-fried mince pie by Dinner's Ashley Palmer-Watts.
The online auction starts at noon on 6 December and runs until 13 December. Bids can be made and raffle tickets bought on the Mince Pie Project website.

Hello my readers, long time no see. WOW, this Summer was crazy. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks, but my schedule is almost back to normal. I will not be posting every day, but I will be posting more than every three weeks.
In this post I will tell you about the Cioppino that we serve in our restaurant. What is Cioppino? Cioppino is a seafood stew in a tomato sauce with it's origins dating back to the early 1800s in San Francisco. At Ocean Crest Resort we use whatever shellfish and fin fish we have in house. The picture in this post features Penn Cove Mussels, sea scallops, prawns, halibut, salmon, and Alaskan king crab.
Now for the preparation. We start by sautéing our seafood and onions in butter. Don't move the seafood around too much, we want some caramelization to form in the pan. Wen the seafood is almost cooked through we add garlic, toss in the pan, and deglaze with white wine. Of course, you could deglaze with red wine if you wanted to. At this point we add our tomato sauce and very little chipotle puree. The chipotle will give your cioppino a little bit of bite, for more bite add more chipotle. At this point you want to toss all the ingredients in the pan, to spread the puree evenly, and let it simmer on the burner for a couple of minutes so the fish can soak in some of the flavor. If the sauce is getting too thick you can thin it with a little more wine.
While the Cioppino is simmering you should grill your bread, we like to use ciabatta for it's textural qualities. We butter the bread and season it with our Ocean Crest Seasoning and then grill it on our charbrioler. Any good Cioppino will be served with bread to sop up the broth, I think that charring the bread a little adds greatly to the depth of flavor while contrasting nicely with the bright, acidity of the tomato sauce. When our bread is done grilling we plate the Cioppino, cut the bread in half, place it on top and garnish with fresh parsley.
Tell us what you think about this post. Have you ever had the Cioppino at Ocean Crest Resort?

Still looking for "spotlight on CRABCAKES" with recipe. They were the best I ever tasted. Would like to have them at home since I can't always make the 4 hour round trip to Ocean Crest, even when the restaurant is reopened. Thanks for the wonderful experience at The Razor Clam Festival at Ocean Shores 2013.

Mad Riders
PC | PlayStation 3 | Xbox 360
Mad Riders Review
Review By Jickle @ 11:02am 30/05/12
Mad Riders is an arcadey-as-hell ATV racer, full of stunts to pull off, boost bars to fill, corners to slide around and opponents to beat. It's a simple game, one that aims to provide immediate fun rather than long-term depth: the first race is a pleasant surprise, and by the fifth race you'll be convinced that you've made a smart purchase.
But a few hours into Mad Rider, the sense of familiarity that permeates the game starts to suffocate. It's probably most reminiscent of underrated Wii launch title 'Excite Truck', but quite a bit looser and without that game's more inventive mechanics, but there are elements pulled from all over the place. At one point, a deep longing to go back and replay Hydro Thunder Hurricane set in. But perhaps this isn't the fairest way to approach Mad Riders, because despite the overwhelming sense that we've torn our way around its corners, conquered its jumps and coated our ATVs in its mud before, it's still a lot of fun.
The single-player portion of the game takes you through eight tournaments, which involve a whole lot of standard races with the occasional time trial, stunt event, or 'professional' ghost challenge worked in. The PR promise of '45 tracks' is misleading, as Mad Riders has taken the 'design a handful of intricate tracks and then open up/close off certain different sections' route. This means that the designs are unique, but you'll find yourself driving through the same areas over and over again. Most of the designs are pretty solid though, with multiple routes, massive jumps, fun shortcuts and huge corners to slide around. Some sections could certainly have been better designed – there are way too many jumps that send you flying off in the wrong direction almost by default, and when you're going really fast the way forward is sometimes a bit unclear – but quite often things will click in a satisfying manner.
Mad Riders offers a moderate challenge at first, but the further you get in, the easier it seems to get. By the fifth of the eight tournaments we were regularly winning events by huge margins without racing particularly well, simply because I'd levelled up enough to unlock a ridiculous ATV. Shortcuts can be opened by collecting tokens on the track and activating them at the right time, which your AI opponents never do (although sometimes they'll sneak through the shortcuts you've opened if they're around at the right time), and there seems to be a curious rubber-banding in effect on some races where your opponents mysteriously do a really poor job in the same area of a track every time you race on it (although I'm not sure that's intentional). That doesn't mean that the races aren't still fun, or that they never come down to the wire – I had several instances of last-second overtakes that were quite heartening, and the time trial levels are generally a little more difficult than the rest. The single-player mode is very enjoyable for the most part, but it's a bit slighter and breezier than it first appears.
So surely Mad Riders is meant to be a party game, I thought, one that anyone can jump into after a few drinks and pick up immediately. But bizarrely Mad Riders doesn't have any sort of split-screen mode, offering online play and system link only, which is a pretty severe omission for a game like this. Naturally there has been no one online in the pre-release period, but if previous downloadable arcade racing releases are any indicator you may want to wait and see what sales figures are like before committing.
Mad Riders has the feel of something whipped up between bigger projects to keep the teams at Techland energised. That's not meant to be an insult, mind, as it feels like the sort of game that would have been fun to work on and design, which carries over into the experience of playing it. If you want cheap ATV thrills and your local EB doesn't have any $5 copies of Pure left, this is a solid alternative.

Where does time go? It's hard to believe we are already at the halfway point of the CAA football season. There has been some great football played this season with some real surprises.
Only two of the eleven CAA football programs have losing records (Villanova and Rhode Island). Still any team can win the conference title with plenty of games remaining in the regular season.
There are some great stories that have emerged 5-6 games into the season. Without a doubt, the best story of the first half has to be the emergence of the Towson Tigers (2-0, 4-1) program. Already with more wins than they had the previous two seasons combined. What Head Coach Rob Ambrose has accomplished is simply amazing.
Another team on the rise, well, in its infancy of existence, Old Dominion (2-1, 5-1) is competing for the first time as a CAA program. If ODU were a student, the football program would be in its junior year. With as much pure talent as any program in the conference, Bobby Wilder's squad is very close to making this a special season.
Ironically, Towson visits Old Dominion this week. We'll get a chance to see which program is closer to competing for a CAA Championship.
There have been some disappointments as well this season. William & Mary (1-2, 3-3) was the preseason favorite and now their 2011 season hangs in the balance when they host New Hampshire (2-0, 4-1) this weekend. Inconsistent play at the quarterback position has resulted in the Tribe barely averaging 12 points per game. Opponents are able to lock down on All-American candidate, RB Jonathan Grimes, without the threat of a passing attack.
Villanova (0-3, 1-5) has been a contender for a CAA conference title for years. Coach Andy Talley said right from the start, he was uncertain as to the type of team he would have this season. The Wildcats had so many talented players graduate last season, it has been a daunting task for Talley to establish leadership and cohesiveness with so many young players forced into action.
Still salvageable, Richmond (0-3, 3-3), led by one of the best FCS quarterbacks in the country in Aaron Corp – Who set a single game passing record last weekend for passing efficiency against Towson completing 31 of 34 pass attempts – has the offense to play with any FCS team, but their defense has to tighten up if they are to make a run at the playoffs.
Okay, now it's time to name the CAAZone's CAA mid season football awards. I'm sure everyone has their opinion, especially when it comes to your team, so feel free to comment on my selections. Remember, I have had the luxury to see six of the CAA teams play live, and the other five on television replays. This is not an exact science, just one person's observations.
If you are a fan of the television show "The Office" as I am, you'll appreciate the title of the CAAZone's CAA football first half awards. Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell) developed the annual "Dundee Awards" for oddities involving members of his staff.

There you have it! Like I mentioned before, this is just one individual's opinion who has witnessed a great deal of CAA football the last six weeks. I am certain these names will change some by the end of the year however; you should watch the teams and players mentioned above a little closer. They are all deserving of some sort of recognition for their hard work to this point. Injuries and a tough CAA schedule will change the complexion of this list by year's end, not ability or effort.

Sinus tachycardia
Sinus tachycardia is characterized by narrow fast QRS complexes that are preceded by normal P waves. The heart rate depends on patient age and may reach 240 beat/min in neonates. Sinus tachycardia may be a physiologic response to exercise, anxiety, fever, hypovolemia, hypoxemia or hyperthyroidism.
Premature atrial complexes (PACs)
PACs represent origination of atrial electrical activity outside the SA node. On the EKG, PACs may appear in one of three forms:
- premature P wave followed by a narrow QRS complex,
- non-conducted premature P wave not followed by QRS complex, and
- premature P wave followed by wide QRS complex due to aberrant conduction (bundle branch block).
PACs are commonly seen in infants and disappear with increasing age. This arrhythmia is usually benign and needs no treatment
Atrial Flutter and Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial flutter is characterized by rapid atrial activity at a rate 200- 350 beat/min. The P waves have saw-tooth appearance. Some of the atrial impulses are not conducted through the AV node, so the ventricular rate is slower than the atrial rate and is usually regular. Atrial flutter is caused by a re-entry circuit in the atrium and is usually seen in a diseased heart. The symptoms depend on the ventricular rate. Cardioversion is indicated in symptomatic patients.
Atrial fibrillation is a chaotic atrial rhythm (300-600 impulses per minute) with no well defined P waves. The ventricular rate is irregularly irregular. Atrial fibrillation usually requires treatment with anti-arrhythmic medications such as B-blockers or Ca++ channel antagonists. Systemic anticoagulation is also usually undertaken to reduce the risk of thrombus formation in the fibrillating atrium with downstream embolization.
More info: Borczuk, P. Atrial Flutter. eMedicine
More info: Atrial flutter from Healthsquare.com
More info: Atrial Fibrillation, from National Heart , Lung and Blood Institute
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
SVT is characterized by a narrow QRS complex tachycardia with a heart rate 250-350 beat/min that shows no variation with respiration. It is commonly seen in normal children but may associated with CHD as in Ebstein anomaly. SVT is usually caused by an accessory pathway between the atria and the ventricles, or by a reentry circuit within the AV node.
In infants, SVT presents with poor feeding, irritability, sweating and respiratory distress. If not treated, CHF and death may occur.
Compensated SVT should be treated promptly with vagal maneuvers such as application of ice to the face. If this is unsuccessful, then adenosine should be administered intravenously. Children with uncompensated SVT should be treated with cardioversion.
WPW syndrome is an example of pre-excitation due to an accessory pathway between the atria and ventricles. It is characterized by a short PR intervals, delta waves, and wide QRS complexes.
Ventricular arrhythmias
Ventricular arrhythmias are characterized by a wide QRS complexes and abnormal T waves. The symptoms depend on the heart rate and are usually due to poor ventricular filling.
Premature ventricular contractions (PVC's)
PVCs are premature, wide QRS complexes that are not preceded by P waves. Isolated unifocal PVCs originate from the same spot in the ventricles, have uniform morphology, usually benign in nature and disappear with exercise. Multifocal PVCs usually occur in diseased myocardium and often increase with exercise.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT)
VT is a rapid, wide QRS-complex tachycardia with a heart rate 150-250 beat/min. It is a serious condition that may result from drug toxicity (digoxin), myocarditis or severe metabolic derangement. It should be treated promptly with cardioversion if the patient is hemodynamically unstable. Stable VT may be treated with IV lidocaine infusion.
Ventricular Fibrillation (VF)
VF is a terminal cardiac rhythm characterized by irregular wide bizarre shaped QRS complexes. It needs to be treated immediately with unsynchronized DC cardioversion.

One of the designs you can incorporate in your house is the elegant lighting of its different areas such as the hallways and the dining rooms. Getting the right lighting will be very rewarding since it will set off all the other design features such as the coloring and furnishings you have gone for. Chandelier lights are the best lighting to set off an elegant mood and tone in your home.
There are many chandelier designs you can choose from to suit the style and mood you are aiming for. If the room is modern and you are aiming for a minimalist design, you can choose from the different contemporary designs which have less intricate and simpler touches. Black chandelier is a very modern design and even if it is not lighted it will add character to the room. Enhancing the mood and tone of the room is the role of the chandelier.
The brightness of the chandelier varies depending on the number of bulbs they take. If you want a more somber and soft tone lighting then a chandelier with less bulbs are required for that room. Hallways may need strong lighting so a chandelier with more bulbs is suitable for this area. Having too much bulb in a chandelier may be costly since it will use more electricity and the more bulbs there are to replace.
The two most important things you have to consider when owning a chandelier is the proper installation and mounting and the regular cleaning and dusting. The chandelier must not only be mounted properly but the ceiling should also take the weight. Chandeliers which are full of dust have dimmer and dull lights. Dust can accumulate and stick on the chandelier and if rarely cleaned it would be hard to just dust it off.
If you are undecided about the color of the chandelier to choose, I recommend the black chandelier shade since black goes with everything. Polished silver and black chandelier seems to fit in any situation.
A chandelier is really a great addition to the décor of your home. If it is installed properly with proper maintenance, it will have a grand and elegant effect on the design of your home lighting.

Two stories. First, a Simpsons joke. In the past, I'd have thought very little of just making the "blurst of times" reference without a thought, but after teaching 18-22 year olds the past five years, I've learned that basically no one has watched the things I've watched. So here we are. In an early episode of the Simpsons ("Last Exit to Springfield"), while Homer, as union representative, is being shown around Mr. Burns' house, they come upon a room filled with monkeys. Mr. Burns explains that he's putting an old maxim to the test: if you fill a room with a million typewriters, and at each typewriter, place one monkey, then one day, one monkey will write Hamlet. Picking up a page, he begins to read: "It was the best of times, it was the...blurst of times?!" Burns kicks the monkey and scatters the sheets.
The joke is of course that the monkey has screwed up Dickens' classic intro to A Tale of Two Cities. But the deeper joke there is that the hypothetical scenario that Burns is concocting is, at its core, insane to begin with. That the monkey even came that close, we'd say, is pretty damn impressive. Random events do not always produce an infinitude of possibilities, even if, theoretically they should. Sometimes -- most times -- randomness will not produce the same document that intention will. (And even then, it's not the same; but that's a story for another time).
Second story. Tonight, while I was ferping about on twitter, I wrote that my recap would just be basically about the ninth inning tonight. The mothership twitter -- all praise be to the mothership twitter -- rightfully chastised me:
@Hegelbon Or just talk about Cole Hamels knocking in the only run and pitching 8 scoreless, as that was pretty alright.— The Good Phight (@TheGoodPhight) August 2, 2013
Totally fair point. So when you have a game that is so wildly perfect as Hamels' game (eight innings, five strikeouts, one walk, seven hits, zero runs, and an ERA finally under four) and an inning that is so miserable as the ninth (Papelbon with two earned runs before his first out, and an inning without one strikeout; the Phillies loading the bases with no outs and still blowing it in the bottom of the inning) in the very same game? Well, on one hand, you have a tale of two games.
You have a game where the Phillies' pitcher -- the one signed for the pricey long term deal -- kept hitters off balance all night and dazzled with the stuff that we all knew he hadn't lost. Despite baserunning miscues by Ryne Sandberg; despite botched stolen base attempts by Hamels himself; despite defensive wizardry by Pablo Sandoval of all people, the game always kind of felt in hand. It was vintage Hamels. 2011 Phillies. Hamels even hit his own RBI! Brilliant pitching and timely hitting; we all want that back.
And you also have a game where the Phillies' pitcher -- the one signed for the pricey long term deal -- just utterly could not miss a bat if his life depended on it. Where the one run lead not only felt unsafe, but radically unstable -- destined to be undone. With a retired Brad Lidge in the stands (ostensibly), Jonathan Papelbon nauseated tonight. Yes, he was the victim of batted ball luck. Yes, he didn't pitch as badly as you'll hear on sports radio the next few days. Yes, there are shades of the 2011 Red Sox here, where he was unfairly scapegoated. But come on, let's be real -- that was awful stuff. And the hitting on the bottom half of the inning...well, let's just say that if you can't get sac flies deep enough on two consecutive tries, then you're not fielding a very good team. That it was Laynce Nix and Carlos Ruiz that killed it for the Phillies was a double-shot in the gut. At least Cody Asche got his first hit! ...on a terribly lucky bunt. Hrm.
So, on one hand, you have two competing feelings and, thus, two opposed games. But on the other hand, you still really have just one game. Baseball's like that: it turns quickly. And the Phillies, at enviable advantages at two separate moments in this game -- the top of the ninth and the bottom of the ninth! -- wrote "blurst" instead of "worst" and here we are. Baseball is random as life is random, and just as often as we expect things to fall into place, we should remember the humor of Mr. Burns' endeavor: there are all these random bits just firing everywhere. How can we expect them, with a straight face, to line up every time? Tonight they didn't. And it sucks.
But hey, there's this:

My intial reaction to his potential signing was um... lets say... lets just say I was less than excited about the prospect. But after thinking about it for a bit, I've come to the realization that perhaps my judgment was too greatly influenced by my prejudices against him (which I won't get into but largely center around the riding of an exercise bike) and I took less into consideration his actual capabilities and his ability to contribute to the Jets.
So (swallow the vomit)... Why would the Jets' acquisition of LD be a good thing?
1) Signing LD for TJ-type money signals to the team that the breakdown in negotiations with TJ probably had more to do with playing time and carries than it did about money. Its a business for the players too, and you want them to feel like their hard work will be rewarded. You're sending the simultaneous signal that they will get paid if they deserve it, but at the same time no player gets put before what is best for the team.
2) Its been widely reported that the Jets feel that LD would be a great 3rd down back. Which is interesting because we already have a 3rd down back in Leon on the roster. This signing might make teams more inclined to separate themselves from a second round pick if they believe that they can sign Leon relatively cheapley. And the Jets are less likely to match an offer if they have a 3rd down back on the roster to replace Leon and are receiving a 2nd round pick in this draft.
3) LD is a running back out of TCU who played for the Chargers. If he's on board and we draft a Jerry Hughes (TCU) and a running back, then we have a HOFer mentoring our young RBs, a TCU alumn that Hughes could seek advice from, and a familiar big brother for Cro.
I am still dead-set against this move, if its made, if we intend to go into the season with Leon on the roster. But if Leon goes elsewhere, then the signing of LD makes some sense.

Band takes third at National Mineworkers Championship
1:00pm Sunday 26th January 2014 in News
St Keverne Band travelled to Skegness at the weekend to compete in the Butlins National Mineworkers Championships.
Playing the test piece Kenilworth by Sir Arthur Bliss, led by musical director Gareth Churcher, the band was delighted to be placed third out of the 17 bands in their section.
The £700 prize money will go some way to off-set the cost of the trip, which was more than £5,000 in total.
After competing, players and supporters were able to enjoy the Butlins facilities and entertainment programme.
The band holds its AGM on Friday, January 24 at 7pm in the band room when all are welcome.

Oh man. Im sorry but Ben Stiller is one of my all time favorite actors. Yea he hasnt really opend the horizon but man.. This movie had the most funniest lines iv heard in a long time. His dad also had some funny parts..This movie is a good movie for laughs =]
oh btw: While he was filiming that movie he did a music video with jack Johnson for the song Taylor (haha i bet u noticed how he wears 2 Jack Johnson band T's in the movie)
goodfellamike 09/12/2008 (0 of 0 found this helpful)
A rather mean-spirited, misogynistic comedy about falling in love fast and making mistakes; Stiller's character is utterly unlikable, but then we have to endure painfully unbelievable scenes of bad comic timing (are we to believe that these two never listened to music or ate together in 6 weeks?) was the final twist supposed to be funny or ironic? either way it didn't work. The funniest moments come from a mariachi band. Final Grade: C-

Annoying and Unfunny
The first hour or so was okay but then the conclusion felt really forced. Suddenly, I felt angry at the movie because it tricked me into thinking that it was sort of funny but, in reality, it's nothing but an offensive, insensitive mess. I wish I didn't watch it because it felt like it was over two hours long. The bodily fluid jokes were over-the-top and the sex scenes were pure torture to watch. The characters are unrelatable and mean. The jokes about Mexicans crossing the border was unfunny because people do go through that and some die because of it. The only reason why I watched the movie was because the previews were funny. Unfortunately those were the only funny parts. The rest of the film is a big, black gaping hole. Avoid it if you can.

Something to think about before getting married
It is always refreshing to see Ben Stiller doing yet another romantic comedy, nah Im just kidding. Well the movie is good, not... All jokes aside I think the movie is pretty funny, no this time Im telling the truth. I like the whole music thing going on during the in between scenes, which is a Farley brothers trademark. Another thing I like is Michelle Monaghan, she brings lightness to the whole movie. Heartbreak Kid is a completely watchable film, and I think Im going to watch it again now. One thing I wish to see is the musical performance of the whole cast in the ending credits, like they did in the immortalize version of the song Buttercup. Overall it was as I said refreshing, I mean it this time. A somewhat nostalgic feeling this movie brings to the table. You kind feel like your ...

Heartbreakingly funny
This movie is insanely funny. Crass, but that can be expected from the Farrelly Bros. I saw the original version a couple years ago and it was watchable, but not that worthwhile.
This movie pulls out all the gags & punches without being too cliche. There is a Something About Mary/hair gel like stunt. Completely different, but memorable and gross. It got me to cover my eyes. Eww!!!! That was probably the worst thing about the movie, but also the best (no spoilers, sorry). The gag was also set up extremely well. Malin Akerman's character mentioned this early on in the movie, but for no reason did you think that this would come into play. The plot devices were seamless.
Towards the end, you're like, oh okay, oh my gosh this is it. Was the movie worth it? And of course there is a sort...

Legislation that would allow University of Rhode Island police officers to carry firearms is going to its first test in the state legislature.
The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote Tuesday on whether the legislation should be forwarded to the full House.
Rhode Island is the only state in the nation that prohibits its public university police departments from carrying firearms.
Efforts to change that policy got a boost after campus police responded to reports of a gunman in a university building last month. No gunman was found, but supporters of the legislation say the incident highlighted a critical security weakness.
Should the bill pass the decision on arming officers would be left the university.

Is Your Teen Developing an Eating Disorder?
When Nancy Clark became a sports nutritionist, she thought she was going to be counseling athletes about sports nutrition. Instead, she found her one-on-one counseling sessions centered on eating disorders.
"The same characteristics it takes to be an athlete – you need to be dedicated, a hard worker – are those same characteristics that are needed to be anorexic," Clark says. "It's hard to be anorexic. It's hard to be so dedicated, compulsive and disciplined."
How Do Eating Disorders Start?
For some teens too, the drive for perfection can sometimes take a wrong turn, beginning as disordered eating and ending with a full-blown eating disorder.
Disordered eating is sometimes referred to as the gateway "drug" to an eating disorder, just as marijuana is often called the gateway drug to harder drugs. "Disordered eating is under-consuming," Clark says. "It's often not eating much during the day and then getting carried away with frozen yogurt at night time. It's a very limited diet."
Clark says eating disorders begin with what seem like harmless disordered eating habits. Maybe a teenager insists on eating turkey sandwiches every day or having meal replacement drinks. Maybe they suddenly decide to become a vegetarian, which Clark says may be just a politically correct way of eliminating a food group perceived to be fattening. Other red flag behaviors can include social withdrawal and constant complaining about body weight.
Empower Teens With the Truth About Diets
Debra Waterhouse, the author of Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell (Warner Books, Reprint, 1994), says teens are inspired when they learn the secrets behind the dieting industry and how dieting weakens teens psychologically and physically. "What I've discovered is when they think about it and get all the pieces together, they get sort of angry," Waterhouse says. "They say, 'Why are we caught in this trap?' and 'This is ridiculous, women are stronger than this and can break free.' Overall the theme is they are going to be the generation to make it a different place for women, where we can eat with pleasure and with freedom and that all different body shapes and sizes are OK."
Waterhouse believes the dangerous dieting game became part of pop culture starting in the 1960s. She says women thought it would be different to get away from the maternal bodies of their mothers and go instead for an almost boyish figure as a way to enter the man's world.
10 Tips to Prevent Eating Disorders
So how do you help your teen break free from the food obsession and live a healthy life of moderation?
Unfortunately, losing fat the smart way can be difficult. Experts say your teen will benefit from your support. The following tips could prevent a teen with disordered eating patterns from slipping over the thin line and into an eating disorder:
- Teach low-fat cooking skills.
- Let the teen eat when she is hungry.
- Limit television.
- Encourage a day of rest.
- Serve balanced meals.
- Don't always forbid fast food.
- Encourage informal, moderate exercise.
- Emphasize fruits and vegetables and fiber.
- Don't count calories.
- Don't obsess in front of the mirror.

MESA, Ariz. (AP) - Chicago Cubs right-hander Matt Garza suffered a mild back strain on his left side while throwing batting practice to teammates Sunday and is expected to miss at least a few days of practice.
Whether it will delay his start to the regular season, team officials said they would know more about his prognosis after he is examined again Monday.
"It looks like a mild lat strain," manager Dale Sveum said. "We'll see what happens when he wakes up and see where we are a little bit more (Monday). But it's subsided, and he seems to be doing a lot better now."
Garza got halfway through his throwing schedule when he felt a twinge and left the field with the trainer.

text: A few years back a neighbor sold us a lot that had been attached to his property. It was surveyed and marked and as soon as we had the paperwork signed my wife and I paid to have a chain link fence installed both to keep his dog out and keep our kids in! Their home was sold, demolished and a new house built. While they were building we allowed them to take down the fence to get equipment in to finish the house. They built the home over further so the edge of the house is on the property line. Today I noticed they have put up a stockade type wooden fence. They did this by attaching it ( using U shaped hooks through the fence and onto the pole that runs along the top of our fence ). While I plan on heading over to speak to them directly I figured I'd get your take on this action and if they have any right to do such a thing.

Protect and serve. Greenville police have a warning.
They say telemarketers are using their name to take advantage of you. The charity in question has been around more than a decade but as 9 on your side found out it's not exactly what it claims to be.
"It's not something that we're associated with. It has nothing to do with the Greenville police department and we do not endorse it," said Sgt. Joe Friday with the Greenville Police Department.
It's called the "Police Protective Fund." They claim to collect money for families of fallen officers. But so far 48 complaints have come into the North Carolina Attorney General office about the non-profit group.
"We've been receiving calls here in Greenville about them and you do a little research and you find that they're one of the worst-rated charities in the nation," said Friday.
The Police Protective Fund is a legitimate charity. Tax filings show the non-profit raked in $5.9 million in donations last year but only gave away $37,000 in death benefits.
"This charity, in my opinion, plays upon your emotions, your sense of citizenship, your sense of civic duty....but the reality is they're just out to get money," said Friday.
Most of the money raised goes to fundraising expenses and the staff's 6-figure salaries.
"'Charity Navigator' gave them an overall rating of 14 out of a possible 70 with zero stars so if that was a restaurant you certainly wouldn't want to eat there," said Friday.
Through our research, "9 on your side" found at least four states have taken action against the group. A 2010 investigation by the "Tampa Bay Times" found telemarketers for the fund even went as far as pretending they were police officers to raise money. Contact information wasn't't available on the non-profit's website but we were able to track down a Charlotte-based number through online forums and got an automated response asking for donations.
If you continue to get calls from the group, report them to the Attorney General's office. They tell us they've been successful in putting a stop to some of the calls and have passed along some helpful tips.

An 8-day nationwide crackdown on Turnpike drivers is being considered a
From New Jersey to California, troopers on I-80 stepped up their
enforcement to prevent speeding, impaired driving and aggressive driving. Lt.
William Bowers, with the Toledo post of OHSP, says they used tactics they use
on a daily basis to look for distracted drivers.
Their goal was to have a zero-fatality rate from July 24-31.
Unfortunately, that did not happen. There were two deaths nationwide, one of
them in Sandusky. But Lt. Bowers says the crackdown is still being considered a
huge success.
"When you figure the number of fatalities that happen across the U.S.
every day, let alone just Ohio, it's pretty amazing that there was only two
fatalities on a road that stretched from California to New Jersey," Bowers
Bowers also said there were a few DUIs issued in northwest Ohio,
something that doesn't occur often on the Turnpike.
The crackdown was funded by federal grants.

So now we know why Fletcher Building underwent such a share price surge before the Government's unilateral declaration of a totally new stadium for Auckland. They are probably the most trusted player in this bizarre exhibition tournament where the goal posts, as they say, have been shifted mid-game.
Trevor Mallard is not exactly the most competent or astute visionary in this play, nor is Dr. Cullen known for his regard of Auckland's interest, nor is Warren & Mahoney valued for sympathetic or inspiring architecture, nor does the Auckland City Council have a reputation for unanimity of purpose and, finally and perhaps most disturbingly, our central government – as the coach and captain of this nightmare team – is the last entity anyone would describe as being timely or fiscally disciplined on matters of infrastructure projects. The stadium has the hallmarks of all the success of the government's other brain-wave of merging all the Auckland councils together – without bothering to tell anyone beforehand.
Reflecting on our nation's humiliation at losing the 2007 rugby world cup because of our 'she'll-be-right' incompetence and total lack of preparation we now risk the same fate befalling us in 2011 because of the same reasons.
And to foist infrastructure on Auckland that will damage the existing assets' viability, require a new special tax, require ratepayer subsidies and also be another huge structure that blocks the water views…it's difficult to find anything in favour of it. Even Carlaw Park would be a more rational decision than on the waterfront. It could have been a contender….
…but why wasn't Eden Park automatic? Incompetence once again. The design the Board came up with was something straight out of the Warren & Mahoney song book, but without even the total comprehensive Stalinist brutalism that would at least have given it some symmetry. Why the new ASB stand was not built with a view to a future integrated whole is a case study (as if we needed another one) of the ad hoc ineptitude and failure of vision that besets this country. Sadly, it occurs at elite level exclusively so it seems, because most regular punters are quite able to see the logical, big-picture necessities of planning large scale projects. In receipt of millions in sweet-heart loans from the Auckland City Council, Eden Park faces oblivion – and they only really have themselves to blame. I just hope Aucklanders won't be conned over the Waterfront options as they have been over toll roads.

Some signs of times gone by will get a new life Thursday night at C'ville Coffee. A slideshow called the "Signs of C'ville" will celebrate photographs of Charlottesville signs, murals, ads and storefronts.
Some of the pictures date back to the 1910s. Others are new photos of signs and storefronts that have lasted the test of time.
"Signs have a way, unlike almost anything else of evoking the memories that really bring you back to a very specific place and time. A lot of time you'll see the buildings not change that much but the stores and the signage in front of them change quite a bit over the years," said Steve Trumbull, the slideshow's photographer.
Trumbull will present the slideshow and shed light on the history of the photographs.
The event kicks off at 7 p.m. at C'ville Coffee.

Early AM Engine-Starter: Guess the Costs of Milwaukee School District's Legal Defense Over an 'Equal Rights' Drug
On Monday, in a story I will link after the jump, the Associated Press reported that on March 1 the Milwaukee Teachers' Education Association (MTEA) dropped a lawsuit it initiated last year over the school district's refusal five years earlier to cover a prescription drug the union described as "an issue of discrimination, of equal rights for all our members" (that link will also appear after the jump).
So the questions submitted for our readers to ponder are these:
1) What drug was involved?
2) How much has the district spent defending itself against the lawsuit?
No fair Googling. Answers follow.
Here they are (HT to an e-mailer):
1) The drug in question, as reported by the AP, is Viagra. But despite the ongoing standoff in the Badger State over collective bargaining and union demands, the wire service apparently didn't believe that this story was worthy of national attention. A search on "Viagra" at the AP's main site returns no results.
2) The cost of defending against the lawsuit, according to PostCrescent.com columnist Bob Kowalczyk, is almost $1 million:
The Walker camp counters that if existing collective bargaining is allowed to continue, the state will continue to be subjected to expenses such as the almost $1 million cost to defend a lawsuit brought by the union because their current health plan excluded Viagra. Or that local school districts would not have the tools needed to operate their districts in the wake of decreasing revenues. These decreasing revenues with the current collective bargaining have forced many school districts into the ridiculous position of firing teachers to balance the budget, but giving a raise to the teachers who remain.
Good luck finding the cited cost figure elsewhere in the establishment press -- and heaven knows how much dues money the union spent in its now-abandoned effort.
Two weeks ago, Kenneth Spence at the Heritage Foundation reported some, uh, hard to fathom items about the litigation (links were in original):
In 2002, through collective bargaining, MTEA won the inclusion of Viagra in its members' health plans, and by 2004, 10% of union membership (which isn't a male-dominated set) was subscribing to the benefit — at a cost of more than $200,000 per year to the Milwaukee school district. Not until 2005 was the school district finally able to convince an arbitrator to drop the coverage.
Last year, while the school district faced a $10 million dollar budget shortfall, the MTEA decided it was time to revisit those drug benefits and filed a lawsuit demanding their reintroduction to union health plans—at a projected cost of $786,000 in 2010.
It may look like the union trying to raise costs for taxpayers, but MTEA spokeswoman Kristin Collett insists that it's really a matter of fundamental rights: "this is an issue of discrimination, of equal rights for all our members." (Lest any private sector employee forget that Viagra is a right.)
The MTEA represents more than 10,000 teachers and administrators in Milwaukee and has an annual budget of millions of dollars. Its priority was not, however, saving the jobs of the 400 teachers laid off because of a budget hole. Instead, the union pursued an opportunity to flex its muscles under the guise of defending a civil right — just as protestors are now.
All of this makes MTEA president Mike Langyel's recent attack on Governor Walker's budget rescue plan sound rather hollow ...
I would suggest that describing Langyel's position as "limp" would be more appropriate in the circumstances.

Lo and behold emails from the Governor's office saying he will give on some points have found their way to the media (some people never learn not to put controversial things in writing). The unions and the dims are slowly winning. One GOP Senator has said he will vote no. The GOP needs to break the bill in half and pass the collective bargaining and then see what the dims will do?
As of now the dims tactics are winning and the GOP is so dug in they are refusing to use other tactics to win.

Unless the GOP is playing by the Democrat playbook. They may be just saying that to get at least one dem Senator back into the chamber so they can vote on and pass the original bill.
What the left is clearly showing is their attitude that the end justifies the means and that they are willing to break the law in order to further their agenda.

They are not doing anything to take advantage of this situation. I have called, emailed, emailed and emailed, senators Olsen, Ellis and the Govenors office, all to no avail. It is like they are stuck on stupid. I thought, finally they have gotten some backbone, but I thought wrong. Instead of voting on meaningful legislation that would reverse some of the damage done by the rats over the last 8 years while there was no opposition to stop it, they keep voting on stupid tactics that they do not enforce like holding checks and fines. Let the dems stay in Chicago until all of the socialist programs are dismantled. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid elephants!

This grotesque example along with hundreds, if not thousands of others just like it are the achilles heel of the public sector unions, we're the same as you B/S propaganda campaign.
Pretty much in the same way as the ' gay pride parade ' is to the GLBT's, we're just your ordinary guys / girls couple next door lie and covering up of the truth.

Medical Coverage for Viagra
Submitted by Kingfish17 on Wed, 03/09/2011 - 11:08am.
If anyone thinks viagra is a "hot-button" item when it comes to medical coverage, they haven't seen anything yet. Follow this to it's logical conclusion:
1. States pass laws legalizing medical marijuana.
2. Obamacare or some other similar legislation gets fully implemented.
3. Doctors prescribe marijuana to patients who cannot afford to buy it.
4. Tax dollars get used to buy marijuana for low income people.
So basically, the haves will be buying the have-nots their pot! Can it play out in any other way, if the above scenario unfolds?
Talk about redistribution!

You can easily start a career in the healthcare industry by spending a few weeks training to become a CNA. As a CNA, you will provide some basic care for patients in a healthcare setting. This can include assisting patients with activities of daily living, monitoring vital signs and providing other basic (primarily non-medical care). Here are ways to get free training in West Virginia:
If you are already working for a healthcare provider, but in a non-medical position, you might consider training to become a nursing assistant. You should talk to your employer about your new career goals. If you are a hard-working and motivated employee, it is possible that your employer will agree to cover the cost of your training as long as you continue to work for that employer once you are certified. This is one easy way to receive free cna training.
You can search for cna training programs at local nursing care facilities and through other healthcare providers. It is often possible to be hired to work for the facility as a nursing assistant and to have this training provided with you. You will likely need to work for that employer for a specified amount of time before taking a job somewhere else if your training is provided at no cost to you.
Contact the local job placement agencies and assistance offices if you are unemployed or low-income and looking to have a new career. There are often programs available to help you receive some type of training. You might be able to opt to receiving free cna training.
You must train for at least 120 hours in order to qualify for certification in West Virginia. If a training program does not cover that many hours, it will not make you eligible for nursing assistant certification.
Trainee Position at SHARPE HOSPITAL, WESTON. (Aug 2012)
There is a position open for a health service trainee. This position includes training to become a CNA. While the listing from the state of WV mentions that preference is given to those already undergoing training or already certified it doesn't harm you to apply because the benefits are immense when working at a hospital. More details available at http://goo.gl/NToQH (copy the url and paste it into your browser)
Free Training at Genesis Healthcare
They have a position for a Patient Care Assistant and they're willing to provide training if you're the right person. You can getmore details by clicking here. The opening is in the city of Daniels and requires you to have a CPR certificate as well as proficiency in the English language. A high school diploma is not a must but will give you an edge.
Nursing homes in West Virginia where you might get free CNA training
Note: These nursing homes DO NOT Provide CNA training directly. This is a list of some of the better nursing homes in WV. Your best bet is to contact those with vacancies and see if they might consider hiring you as a trainee. Do not call directly looking for training. Look for those with a current vacancy first.

During his State of the Union Address, President Obama called on Congress to send him an immigration reform bill.
"It's time to harness the talents and ingenuity of hardworking immigrants by finally passing comprehensive immigration reform - securing our borders, establishing a responsible path to earned citizenship, and attracting the highly-skilled entrepreneurs and engineers that will help create jobs. These steps will help grow our economy and rebuild a rising, thriving middle class," said President Obama.
The President spoke specifically about the impact of immigration on the economy.
While many in South Dakota may have opinions on immigration at a national level, some feel it's more of an issue for border states like Texas, Arizona or California; however, immigration is making a big impact here in Sioux Falls and in communities across South Dakota.
Juan Bonilla, the President of Sioux Falls' Diversity Council, says there are 22,000 Latinos living in Sioux Falls alone, an increase of more than 10,000 since 2009.
Bonilla says South Dakota's growing economy is a big attraction to immigrants looking to settle in America.
"The people who are here from the Latino community are here to work with out community, to be integrated in our community, to open businesses and help the economy here," said Bonilla.
He says the percentage of new businesses started by Latinos in Sioux Falls is higher than the percentage growth of new businesses in the entire nation.
According to Bonilla, addressing immigration reform at a national level will expedite the process for these potential business owners to fully integrate into the American economy by paying taxes, creating new jobs and investing their own money into the local economy like buying homes, cars and other goods.
Bonilla believes illegal immigration isn't a big issue in South Dakota; its estimated that less than one percent of the state's Latino population is in the state illegally. However, he says getting all immigrants proper documentation will stimulate the economy through added taxes and job growth.

(CelebNMusic247-News) T-Pain Defends His Openly Gay Assistant
T-Pain BLASTS narrow-minded views after people target his assistant for being gay!
Lets start off with the golden rule of thumb for all Twitter followers and fans of music and Celebrities! The Jews and the gays run music and Hollywood, so making back handed remarks and nasty comments about gay people of Jewish people is going to be taken offensive on a large scale.
Sexual preferance should NOT matter as long as a person is good people, fun to be around and is respectful like any other person in this world straight, gay, bi, transgender, purple, green, orange or tangerine it DOES NOT MATTER!
Racism is taught by elders, prejudice is taught by schools and society – it takes you to break the mold and let the racism and prejudice die with the past! Unlearn to learn!
With that said, Singer T-Pain came to the defense of his openly gay assistant after some unnamed individuals apparently tweeted homophobic things about his friend.
T-Pain got sick of the narrow-minded views after people target his assistant for being gay, so he tweeted:
"Attention homophobic idiots: if you're not attractive to straight women, you're probably not attractive to gay men. You can unclench now."
"Just see a lot of ppl lookin at my assistant like 'oh no better not go that way. That guy wants my butt.' Don't be an idiot. Ur still fugly."
Pain posted later:
"In the club with the gayest and best assistant for the stars to touch this earth @ejking21 y'all can hate if y'all want to you can $!W!$ (suck it while its soft) f–k ya."
"Nappy Boy get the job done. Get ready! We bout to run this sh*t again."
By the way did you notice T-Pain has cut off all those dreads?

The more political thread besides Japan Earthquake: nuclear plants scientific one

We should remember that the Tepco engineers that are making the calls are doing so with woefully inadequate data, and what they did get was unreliable.
Data has improved, but is still woefully inadequate for sound and reliable decision making. And making conclusions of what did or didn't happen.
To call for prison terms when management might have been 'optimistic' in interpreting such sparse and unreliable data is short sighted I think. More likely (and quite rightly), they will not make a conclusion with serious consequences until they have sound data to support it.
That is good management. Any other way is speculation to pander to sensationalism.
One of the biggest failures in all of this is the failure of reliable data.
You can't blame Tepco for that, it is a function of the system of reactor design and risk assessment. That system has to improve. We should be fitting transducers, signal processing equipment and transmission in a way that can handle the same level of equipment failure in future.
My guess is that you could cut the total emissions from any possible future accident by half if you did that.
I think you're trolling. Instrumentation matters very little here, if at all.
The laws of physics involved are known and they do not change. Such accidents were being modeled since the seventies, TMI even produced a nice case study to validate the models.
For a given core configuration, where starting parameters (water level, temps, pressures) are known, one can find out if and when the core melts. The process does not take days, for a reactor as big as those at Fukushima. The calculation can be done literally on the back of a napkin by anyone in possession of freshman year physics. So many MW of heat, so much fuel, so many tons of water, so much steel in the vessel that could melt. Easy.
There is no need for further measurements.
Good crisis management is the uncanny ability to make good decisions without having all the data. Take a pilot in a stalled fighter jet with an engine flameout, at low altitude. Does he try to determine the cause of his engine flameout and whether a recovery might be possible?
Smart pilots pull the ejector handle and generally live to find out the results of the post-accident inquiry. Brave pilots try something, anything. Sometimes it works. Bad pilots get confused and flustered trying to decide what to do. Bad pilots end up dead.

Paul S. Balliet Jr., 68, of 26030 135th St. SE, Kent, Wash., formerly of Lehighton, died Thursday in the home of his sister Katharine, wife of Donald Bartholomew of Franklin Township. Carbon County Deputy Coroner Robert Deibert attributed death to natural causes.
Balliet was a district manager for the Salvation Army, Seattle, Wash., for 16 years. Before that he was an organist for the Community Baptist Church, Pico Rivera, Calif., for 17 years, and a special education teacher and a physical therapist in California, both for seven years.
