LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Christmas is supposed to be the season for giving, but a couple of Lubbock thieves took from one of the season's most noticeable charities. You hear the Salvation Army bell ringers at almost every store front this time of year, ringing with cheer in hopes you'll drop a few dollars in the kettle to help those in need. "There are folks on the margin that are being compromised with the downturn in the economy," said Captain Mike Morton with the Salvation Army.
Lubbock's kettle campaign is off to a good start this year. "We crested $100,000 in the kettles on Saturday," said Morton. However, that number would be a little higher if it weren't for two people who stole kettles with about $250 each. One of the kettles was from a Wal-Mart, and the other from the Salvation Army parking lot as bell ringers brought the kettles back one night.
Sherry Fuller stayed at the Salvation Army for six weeks when she first moved to Lubbock. They helped her find a job and a home, so this bell ringer knows firsthand what the organization does. "That's very sad. It really breaks my heart because if only they knew what those kettles do for other people," said Fuller.
The money stolen is only a small amount compared to the total raised, but Mortan says the Salvation Army can stretch a dollar so that money would have provided quite a bit. "In my dining room shelter, my chef over there prepares meals for the homeless. He does 100 meals a night. It costs him $1.01 a plate. Five-hundred dollars does five nights of feeding in my shelter," said Morton.
The bell ringers will continue their efforts. "When I ring that bell it reminds me of all the blessings God has given me, and it gives me joy," said Fuller.
The Salvation Army hopes the thieves will return the money, and also offers a helping hand if they want it. "It bothers me greatly. Not for my bell ringers, but for the individual that stole the kettle. That's where the real sadness lies," said Morton.
Morton says they do lock the kettles to the stands, and they've also tightened security at the Salvation Army building when bell ringers check in their kettles at night hoping to prevent something like this from happening again.

11401 Leesville Road, Raleigh, 27613
Clare Hall on the campus of St. Francis of Assisi
(Leesville road is under construction. St. Francis of Assisi is just above Sycamore Creek Elementary on the left side of the road).
Set on Chicago's South Side,
A Raisin in the Sun
revolves around the divergent dreams and conflicts within three generations of the Younger family: son Walter Lee, his wife Ruth, his sister Beneatha, his son Travis and matriarch Lena, called Mama.
With her deceased husband's insurance money is in hand, Mama dreams of moving to a new home and a better neighborhood in Chicago. Walter Lee, a chauffeur, has other plans: buying a liquor store and being his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. The tensions and prejudice they face form this seminal American drama.
Originally produced in 1959, Lorraine Hansberry's
A Raisin in the Sun
was the first play written by an African American woman to be produced on Broadway, where it won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play. The Washington Post has called it "one of a handful of great American dramas.
A Raisin in the Sun
belongs in the inner circle, along with
Death of a Salesman
Long Day's Journey into Night.
" The New York Times has hailed it as "the play that changed American theatre forever.

Police commissioner gets warm welcome downtown
YOU got the feeling that a rock star was in town.
Vendors, shoppers and business owners reacted with glee as Police Commissioner Owen Ellington and some of his officers walked downtown Kingston's busy streets last Thursday.
"Big up yuself, me boss. Mi feel safer from mi see you," shouted one vendor, who halted his activities near Coronation Market to shake the commissioner's hand.
"A who dat? Nuh di man who me see pon TV every day. A wha him a do down here so?" one vendor was overheard asking her colleague.
"Nuh di big policeman Owen Ellington; it good to see that him come out an' a visit the area," said another woman.
One young female vendor rushed from her spot on a sidewalk to shake Ellington's hand and have a word with him.
Others walked with him for some distance, sharing their daily experiences on the streets.
Still others wanted to take pictures with the commissioner, while a few youngsters engaged him in a long discussion.
The tour, according to members of the police high command, was to provide reassurance to Jamaicans as they went about their daily business in the commercial hub and surrounding areas where criminals have, in the past, tried to drive fear in the hearts of law-abiding citizens.
The police also said the walk-through represented the latest efforts by the constabulary to engage members of the public on a greater level.
The top cop also used the tour to meet with members of the constabulary on beat patrol.
"It is always good as a leader to see things through your own eyes so that when you are discussing the problems and talking to people on the front line you can actually relate in a more particular way to some of the things they are saying to you," said the police commissioner.

Constant bitvectors aren't read correctly from fasl files, because the function that tries to compute their size in 8-bit bytes does so incorrectly. 0.13 shares this bug (and for all I know, commercial MCL does as well.) The function CCL::SUBTAG-BYTES takes an array typecode and an element count and tries to calculate the (ceiling of the) number of 8-bit bytes needed to hold element-count elements of the indicated array type. It uses the array typecode to determine the number of bits per element (actually, the amount by which the element-count needs to be shifted to yield the bit count), and mistakenly claims (in the last clause of the big IF) that the number of bits in a bit vector needs to be shifted left by 1 to yield the number of bits in a bit vector. (What is wrong with this picture ?). Both COMPILE-FILE and the fasloader get this wrong consistently (both call CCL:SUBTAG-BYTES), so COMPILE-FILE writes too many bytes to the fasl file (padding the bitvector representation in the fasl file with whatever was laying nearby in memory). The fasloader will then create a bitvector of the correct size, and tries to initialize it by reading roughly twice as many bits as will fit. In 0.13, objects are allocated in strictly ascending memory-address order, so this will usually cause random bits to be written past the free pointer. That's not good, but it's often harmless in practice. (It'd certainly be harmful if another thread allocated something between the time that the fasloader allocated the bitvector and the time it tried to initialize it.) In 0.14, consing happens on a per-thread basis, and the per-thread allocation pointer moves from high addresses to low. Writing past the end of an object like this is prety much guaranteed to clobber some recently allocated object; in the case of nregex.dfsl, the machine code of the function REGEX-QUOTED was getting overwritten with random bits (hence the unhandled "illegal instruction" exception.) The fix is in CVS. With it in effect: ? (compile-file "nregex.lisp" :load t) ; compile with fixed SUBTAG-BYTES doesn't scribble over memory, and calling NREGEX:REGEX-COMPILE returns a lambda expression. (Since SUBTAG-BYTES is defined in level-0, you need to rebuild ppc-boot and then rebuild an image for the fix to take effect.) _______________________________________________ Openmcl-devel mailing list Openmcl-devel at clozure.com http://clozure.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openmcl-devel

Research Focus
Systems Biology of Disease
We are developing computational and experimental approaches to search for new therapeutic strategies for diseases. New experimental methods make it possible to measure cellular changes across the genome and proteome. These technologies include genome-wide measurements of transcription, of protein-DNA interactions (ChIP-Seq), of genetic interactions, and of protein modifications. Each data source provides a very narrow view of the cellular changes. However, by computationally integrating these data we can reconstruct signaling pathways and identify previously unrecognized regulatory mechanisms that contribute to the etiology of disease and may provide new approaches for treatment.
Current projects focus on the study of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes.

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
It's Sunday morning, I opened my rdio page, and I couldn't take it anymore. I had to make an image (above) that I've been meaning to make for months. Why is it that so many bands over the past year or so have opted for album covers with big glaring circles in the middle? It's a pretty established fact that whomever comments first in a list, be it a Facebook post or a hotel or wedding guestbook, will be copied at least a few times before the end of the page, but has endless scrolling taken over LP design in the same way?
That said, while I'm not a fan of any of the above records, some of my favorite records have similar artwork:
Honoring—and in homage to—Peter Saville's legendary artwork for Joy Division's equally legendary album, Unknown Pleasures, the "trans-Atlantic space rock orchestra" Flowers of Hell have covered "Atmosphere," and animated a video to accompany it. The track is taken from the collective's third record, Odes, out now Spectralite.
Saville wrote about his use of negative space in designing the Unknown Pleasures artwork for Issue 1 of Afterzine. Watch the video below.
I'm thrilled to report that issue 3 of Afterzine has been invited to be featured in The Gift of Time, at The U Café in Singapore, an exhibition produced "in conjunction" with fashion-house (and Afterzine favorite) Hermès. Located in the city's Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, this "first of its kind café installation" is open now and runs until August 12, 2012. Full details can be found here.
Brooklyn-based artist Marsha Cottrell works in the same building as me, on the same floor, for the same company. In fact, a couple of years ago (though we don't work in overlapping departments) I worked at the desk directly adjacent to her. It makes it all the more lovely then—meetings, corporate jargon wading, and deadlines aside—to have taken five and snook a peek at the always-inspiring But Does It Float, admire a collection of breathtaking images, and realize they were iron oxide drawings by Marsha. I urge you to visit Marsha's site and see the rest of the series. For those of us in New York City these may be the only constellations we're likely to see but the other stars might be right under your nose.
Above: Impossible Night, 2011, iron oxide on mulberry paper
Three very different titles this time, but there's a thread running between them. First up is A Bigger Message, Martin Gayford's conversations with David Hockney. It's comfortably the most insightful and inspiring book I've read all year. My copy is littered with sticky tabs marking memorable moments or reminders for future research. Hockney looks, sees—sees—then considers. It's a patient and rewarding exercise, one that is oft overlooked. Seeing, like breathing, might be second nature to us, yet time and again we all need reminding to do it. Seeing is as crucial to Hockney's survival as breathing. There's a lot more to be seen that what you're merely looking at.
MIT Press and the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe's snappily titled, reflective doorstop A Little-Known Story about a Movement, a Magazine, and the Computer's Arrival in Art: New Tendencies and Bit International, 1961–1973 is, well, exactly that. Spanning nearly 600 pages with 650 plates, this is the comprehensive documentation of Yugoslavia's New Tendencies movement during the 1960s, the discovery and practice of "art as visual research," and the movement's critical vehicle, bit international magazine. A must for digital historians and Op Art fetishists, it may not make for bedtime reading but as a source of inspiration and learning there is something new to discover in every opening. It really has to be seen to be believed.
Lastly, this installment's description-not-needed dessert course, if you will, is (the always exceptional) édition PAUMES's Pâtisseries à Paris. In a (butter glazed) nutshell, paired with PAUME's wonderful Paris Bouquins, I have the only two guide books I'll ever need for the City of Light.
In the past six months I've purchased three books that will serve as manuals for my work over the next year or so. They were also purchased from my three (current) favorite bookstores. Details below.
Maps and Diagrams, by F. J. Monkhouse and H. R. Wilkinson. 1972 edition, published by Methuen & Co's University Paperbacks imprint in the United Kingdom. Purchased from The Monkey's Paw, a phenomenal used and collectable book and ephemera store in Toronto, Ontario.
Peacetime Uses of Atomic Energy, by Martin Mann. 1957 first edition, published by the Thomas Crowell Company, New York. Purchased at Alias Books East, in Los Angeles' Atwater Village. Pro tip: get a breakfast burrito at Tacos Villa Corona a few doors down and then walk it off browsing (and buying) at Alias.
From Bauhaus to Our House, by Tom Wolfe. 1981 second hardback printing, published by Farrar Straus Giroux, New York. Purchased from the best used bookstore in New York City, Mast Books, on Avenue A.
Polaroids go silk. Simply beautiful. See them collection here and find out more about Suimoto's collaboration here. (And while you're on the Hermès Editeur site, don't miss Daniel Buren's fantastic chevron scarves.)
Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola's Moonrise Kingdom is a wonderful, heartbreaking, period adventure-love-story that opens in cinemas this weekend. Aptly, considering the themes of civil unrest and lost love, it's also Memorial Day weekend, where we remember those who have fallen in the line of duty. La Lettre de la Photographie has posted a handful of beautiful autochrome plates by the Belle Epoque photographer Léon Gimpel depicting a band of child servicemen staging the "iconography of warfare"—images that certainly remind me of Anderson's signature aesthetic. See them all, here.
Last night Andi and I saw The Color Wheel, a captivatingly stylish and comically unpredictable independent film written by and starring Alex Ross Perry (who also directed, edited, and produced) and our friend Carlen Altman. The film topped IndieWire's list for best undistributed film of 2011 and I'm happy to say is finally now getting the national exposure it deserves. New Yorkers can see it this weekend and the following week at BAM before the print takes flight to tour the rest of the country. Don't miss it.
Watch the trailer below …

...who is it that presses charges when an animal is raped...PETA? In many Arab countries, a forced marriage would be the only solution...and buggery has such a 19th century, Oscar Wilde-ian ring, to it...I would think bestiality is the appropriate term for those who seduce the hooved:
An arrest warrant has been issued for a Leicester man accused of having sex with a horse and a donkey, after he failed to turn up to court.
Joseph Squires, 66, of Overpark Avenue, is charged with buggery of a donkey between February and April 1999 and buggery with a horse in March 2004.
He is also accused of criminal damage to the animals during the same dates.
He was due to appear at Leicester Crown Court earlier for a plea and case management hearing.
Mr Squires did not attend court and it was heard he had lost touch with his solicitors.
Judge Michael Pert QC issued a bench warrant for his arrest.

What came first, the chicken or the egg? Neither as far as this month�s The Gazette KCRG-TV9 Cook Club recipe is concerned.
It started with clementines. Actually, it started with overripe, squishy clementines, perfect to stew in a slow cooking braise. These clementines led to this month�s recipe Clementine & Coconut Milk Braised Chicken. A recipe that my husband said he could eat every day. Thank you, clementines.
My first attempt at creating this recipe did not elicit his enthusiastic response.
Instead, his reaction to the first version was less than flattering.
�It tastes like under seasoned chicken soup,� he said.
I completely agreed as I squeezed more sriracha onto my dish to compensate for the complete lack of flavor.
Instantly, I knew that the problem with the original recipe was too much chicken broth and not enough spices (although eight cloves of garlic and two tablespoons of ginger seemed like plenty at the time). I decided to use less liquid but keep my spices the same. I wanted to make sure, though, the liquid that I did use would pack more of a punch than chicken broth.
I abandoned the chicken broth completely and instead embraced the Asian leanings of this recipe by upping the soy sauce and adding rice vinegar. These ingredients would also counter balance the sweetness coming from the clementines and coconut milk.
I also removed the chicken and vegetables from the braising liquid after they were done cooking to reduce and thicken the broth ever so slightly. In the end, the result is a healthy recipe full of flavor. The beauty of a semi-failure (not a complete failure as the flavorless leftovers were reinvented into an herby chicken and dumpling soup) is the chance to redeem your recipe to make it a dish to repeat again and again.
Play with flavors that you like and make this recipe your own. If they aren't already pantry staples for you, find both coconut milk and rice vinegar in the Asian section of your grocery store. Or consider substituting rice vinegar with apple cider vinegar if you already have this on hand.

Organza and Tulle High-Low Gown with Beaded Flower Style SPK470 69 70
Pretty! I bought this dress for my destination wedding in Mexico. I really love everything about it except that the opening in the front barley shows the bottom of my calf, not above the knee like on the model. I am going to get the front bustled so it will look more like the picture and show a little more leg. November 28, 2012
Organza Gown I just recently was looking online at dresses since I just became engaged to my best friend. When I called to make an appt. Davids Bridal was able to pull my dresses right from my account and let me know that they had 11 of my favorites in the store for me to try on. I was so excited how easy they made this for me. I had lots of anxiety going in there because nothings fits my body type. My Davids Bridal consultant was AMAzing. The first dress I wanted to try on was the organza dress, she looked at me and told me it is hard for people to wear this dress, I felt a little crushed but decided to put it on first to get it out of the way. I LOVE the dress, I walked out of the fitting room and the manager of Davids Bridal was so happy and Said "Now that is how the dress is supposed to look" she did not want me trying on any other dresses she knew right then that was the dress for me and boy was she right. I did try on about 8 other dresses but when I put that organza dress back on it was so comfortable compared to the other 8 dresses. I fell in love with the material and how comfortable it was but also the way it looked on me! I cannot wait until my big day and I have all of you at Davids Bridal to thank! THANK YOU!!!!!!! Katie November 28, 2012
Perfect Purchase I was completely satisified with my purchase. It arrived in less than one week. November 28, 2012
Love at 1st sight My maid of honor and I went to David's Bridal with no intention of finding "the" dress for me, especially since I'm 5"1 and athletic but still curvy. (Hard body type to find dresses). I tried this one on first and fell in love immediately! I also tried on several other dresses but kept going back to this one. The dress is perfect for any body type or frame and very light! I'm having a summer wedding so I didn't want anything that would be too heavy- and this dress exceeded all of expectations and dreams. Can't wait for my fianc�� to see me in it on our big day!!! 8/17/13!!! November 28, 2012

I've been fortunate enough to not have to deal with loss much in my life. It was really only two years ago, when my Pop-Pop passed away in December 2009, that I truly felt the impact of a loss. My Pop-Pop was, and continues to be, a guiding force in my life. He instilled in me many of the values that I hold to this day, including how to treat other people. He helped me accomplish things in my life that most people could only dream of accomplishing, and I owe my much of my success to him. I couldn't write about it at the time, because I felt that any words that I could possibly put down on paper would only trivialize the immense impact he had on my life, and that remains true to this day. In a similar vein, there are no words that I can express that could possibly come anywhere close in scope to capturing the impact Joe Paterno has had on thousands of lives, including in some small part my own, but I'm going to try anyway.
I wouldn't be getting married this April if it weren't for Joe Paterno. Ok, perhaps that's a stretch, but humor me for a minute here. Before Joe Paterno arrived at Penn State it was a cow college in the middle of acres upon acres of farmland in central Pennsylvania. There wasn't much that was appealing about the place, unless your future was in agriculture and you had no particular interest in doing anything interesting for four years. At the time of his death this morning, Penn State has become a school of 50,000+ students strong with the largest alumni base in the country, a school which is a leading academic institution that is well-respected among some of the greater universities of this country. This transformation certainly isn't simply because of Joe Paterno, but he played a significant part in it.
When I was a senior in high school I had many difficult choices to make regarding the college that I was going to pick. I eventually ended up at Penn State, not because of football, but because of academics, and while Joe Paterno certainly wasn't teaching Atmospheric Dynamics, his influence is a large part of Penn State's standing as an academic institution. He has donated millions and millions of dollars to the school, including a sum that allowed the unversity to build a world-class library that bears his name. His success as a football coach and his status as a symbol of the unversity is also a very large reason that alumni and benefactors have donated BILLIONS of dollars to the university. Without Joe Paterno's influence Penn State would not be the academic institution that it is today, and there's a rather fair chance that I wouldn't have become a student there, where I went on to meet some of my best friends, including the love of my life. For having even the slightest influence in my fate, I thank Joe Paterno.
How does a football coach, whose job is to win football games and championships, change the entire nature of a university? It doesn't seem possible on the surface, but anyone who went to Penn State knows just how much Joe Paterno's life indirectly or directly impacted everyone who ever stepped foot on campus. I'd argue that there are very few schools that have fostered the sort of pride that people have in their university that students and alumni of Penn State have. Joe Paterno played a very large part in the cultivation of that pride. To us, he was a symbol of good, a man who refused to compromise academic integrity for academic success. His "Grand Experiment" is still very much alive today, with Penn State's football team graduating far more seniors than the average program, particularly for minorities. He won football games, ok he won a LOT of football games, but that was secondary. Whenever he recruited student athletes he emphasized that they were coming to Penn State not only to further their football careers, but also to further their education. He was a equally a teacher and a football coach, and I think he'd rather be remembered as the former as opposed to the latter.
I do think that it's important not to deify Joe Paterno, however, and remember that he wasn't only a symbol, he was also a human being. He was a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather. He was a man, and as for all men he was prone to the same failings to which we all are prone. It's easy to put trust in the wrong people, and in Joe Paterno's case that misplaced trust is now a stain on his otherwise sterling legacy. People might get angry at me for mentioning this on the day of his death, and I can understand why, but I think it's important to remember Joe Paterno's humanity. I'll remember it as part of a lesson that in reality there are no perfect people, and even the greatest human beings are prone to mistakes, and those mistakes can sometimes be hurtful to others. However, it is from our own mistakes and the mistakes of others that we must learn so that we can go forward with our lives and use what we've learned for positive gains. In that situation I also learned a little bit about myself, as I rushed to judge Joe Paterno for his failings without taking time to consider and understand the situation fully. I was angry, and I had refused, even until now, to refer to him as "JoePa" because I felt like I couldn't call him a nickname. I used the phrase "shame on Joe Paterno", and a friend of mine said "no, shame on you", which angered me at the time, but now seems a prescient remark as I remain ashamed for the way I rushed to judge a man who is not only a hero and an idol to thousands, but remains a hero and an idol to me. I know now that it's important not to judge without strong consideration for all sides of the matter, and that's something that I will try to take with me as I go on in life.
In the end, I do think that Joe Paterno will be justly remembered for all of the good that he did and the positive impacts that he had on thousands of lives. I know that when I think of Joe Paterno 20 years from now, I'll look back fondly at my days at Penn State, and I'll thank him for helping to making that great school what it is today. I'll also still go to football games at Beaver Stadium, and I do hope it remains Beaver Stadium and not Paterno Stadium, or Paterno Field at Beaver Stadium. Penn State is the only school in the world where the stadium is named after a university president while the library is named after the school's greatest head coach, and I can only imagine that's exactly how Joe Paterno would want it. He said it himself, "They ask me what I'd like written about me when I die. I hope they write I made Penn State a better place, not just that I was a good football coach." Well, let me be the among the many to write that Joe Paterno was not just a good fotball coach, he was a man who made Penn State a better place, and I, and everyone else who has been fortunate enough to call themselves an alumnus of that great institution, owe him our heartfelt thanks for it.
Rest in Peace Joe Pa. We are, and forever will be, Penn State.

Swimmer's crampApril 9th, 2004 , by admin
My daughter has not had a glass of milk since the day I started on the Blood Type Diet. She never liked milk, and she resisted drinking it. When I read that milk was an avoid for Type As I felt so guilty. I said, "I will never make you drink a glass of milk again." She has a protein shake made with soy milk for breakfast every morning, and she eats yogurt several times a week, but she has not touched cow's milk. However at 14, her body needs calcium. I had been giving her 160 mg of magnesium and 400 mg of calcium a day.
She swims in a summer swim league, and she asked if I would consider swimming at night so that she could start getting in shape for the season. Three weeks ago we went to the pool together. She blew past me on the first lap, but several minutes later she was sitting on the side of the pool. She had a serious foot cramp. She stretched it and massaged it, but she was through swimming for the night. I knew it was her calcium so I added another 500 mg per day.
Last week she swam a little farther, but again had to stop because of a cramp in the other foot. This week she's taken 320 mg of magnesium and 1100 mg of calcium. She swam tonight completely free of pain.
When I started trying a new vegetable a week I was at a loss about what to do with some of them. If you've never had escarole, it helps to know that it's a type of lettuce! (I know half of you are thinking how can anyone not know what escarole is and the other half of you are saying esca-what.) I have lots of cook books, but most of them have fancy recipes with lots of avoids. I went to Half Price Books (a used book store) and found several vegetable guides. I bought one that described how to choose vegetables and how to prepare them.
This week the grocery had really fresh looking Swiss Chard. When I got home I consulted the vegetable book and learned that Swiss Chard is "two vegetables in one." The book said to strip the leaves from the stems and cook the leaves like spinach. They were very good, almost as good as beet greens. The book said the stems could be eaten either raw or cooked like asparagus. I prepared them both ways and we voted. My daughter and I both like them raw. I ate mine dipped in olive oil, she dipped hers in peanut butter. My husband preferred them cooked.
Dandy OmeletApril 7th, 2004 , by admin
I'm going to stick with my "new veggie" topic for a few more days. Having been on the Blood Type Diet for less than a year, I want to encourage you if you are searching around this web site wondering, "What in the world do I eat with my meat if I don't eat potatoes, bread or corn."
When I first read the Type O beneficial list and saw dandelion, I thought "You've got to be kidding - that's a weed." It would have been a long, long time before I paid money for a weed, beneficial or not. However, I was invited to a birthday party at a very trendy restaurant, and as I looked over the menu some words jumped out at me "…served on a bed of five greens including dandelion…" I ordered it, and surprise, surprise, it tasted fine. I still had not bought dandelion until yesterday. I saw some in the grocery store. It looked a little wilted, so when I got home I cut off the bottom two inches for the stems and plunged the whole bunch in a tub of water. By the time I got back to them a couple of hours later, they had perked up quite a bit.
For breakfast every morning I eat a mixture of seeds and fruit, except on the mornings that I run. Then I make an omelet, usually filled with some vegetable left in the refrigerator. This morning on a whim I put dandelion on top of the eggs. It cooked nicely, just like spinach, and tasted good. Tonight my unsuspecting husband and daughter will find dandelion in their salad.
Probably the best of the greens I have tried so far has been beet greens. Most other cooked greens need quite a bit of seasoning, but beet greens are delicious with just a little butter or olive oil.
The only thing wrong with beet greens is that they come attached to beets. I just can't develop a taste for beets. I'm glad they are a neutral. When I acquired a used juicer, I bought a book on juicing. The man who wrote it has long lists of juice combinations, but his #1 standby is carrot, celery & beet juice. The taste of that combination grows on you. So, I rummage through all the beets in the produce department selecting the bunch that has the most greens and the smallest beets. I thoroughly enjoy my cooked beet greens. Then I use up the beets in juice. (My favorite proportion is 3 carrots, 2 stalks celery, ½ beet).
New VeggiesApril 5th, 2004 , by admin
When I first started the BTD, I focused on weeding out the avoids in my diet, and eating more of the beneficials that I liked. Soon I became curious about foods on the beneficial list that I had never heard of. I decided to try one new food a week until I'd tasted all the beneficials. I'll start today catching you up on my new foods so far.
I had never eaten artichoke. I tried canned and they were horrible. Frozen were not any better. One day they were on sale 2 for a dollar in the produce department. I bought two and cooked them in the pressure cooker. They were delicious. I served them to my family dreading the response. It turned out my husband ate artichokes growing up and likes them a lot. My daughter doesn't like the way they look and hasn't gotten up the courage to try them. When her brother is home from college this summer, I'll see if I can get them to be brave together.
The first few times I fixed collard greens I ate them only because they were beneficials. Now I grill an onion, then add a small amount of water and the collards. They taste pretty good that way. They are really good when I season them with curry powder OR Cajun seasoning. I buy fresh when I can, but I keep a bag of frozen collards in the freezer all the time. They taste about the same to me.
My new beneficial last week was aduki beans. I bought a can of Eden organic adukis, salt free and seasoned with seaweed. Everyone liked them which is great because they are beneficial for both Os and As.
We journalists like quotes, and here is one I heard today:
"God may heal you, but if you don't change the way you eat, you'll get sick again."
Dinner PartyApril 3rd, 2004 , by admin
We had friends over for dinner Friday night. I asked my husband what he would like for me to fix. He said "Remember that meat and cheese casserole you used to make, let's have that." There was a reason that I "USED TO make" that casserole. It has three ingredients: noodles, queso, and ground beef. The noodles and cheese are avoids for me; the tomatoes and beef are avoids for my Type A husband and daughter.
I asked my daughter what she thought about the proposed casserole. She wrinkled her nose, because she likes each of the individual ingredients but she does not like her food mixed together. Then her eyes brightened, and she said, "Mom, why don't you set it up like a taco bar. Let everyone go by and pick what they want to eat."
That is exactly what we did. I had a bowl of ground beef and a bowl of ground turkey; a bowl of queso and a bowl of noodles. I had a big bowl of greens and a large platter of other salad vegetables. I baked kamut rolls. I explained to our friends that they could mix up the ingredients any way they wanted. When we sat down at the table no two plates were alike.
For dessert I fixed the walnut torte in the RECIbase on this website and served it with diced nectarine. I was a little suspicious because the ingredients were very unusual, but it was delicious.
On a different subject, how is this for a greeting. "Good health to you and your household, and good health to all that is yours." You'll never believe where I found it…in the Bible. It's 1 Samuel 25:6.
Spring RunApril 1st, 2004 , by admin
My favorite place to run is a park near home. There is a steep hill in the middle of it, and a running trail about a mile long circling the hill. Several trails go over the top of the hill. When I first get there I climb up to the top and back down. That gets my muscles warmed up. Then I run 1 ½ laps around the hill. I climb back over the top, and return to my car for water.
Yesterday spring had arrived at the park. The trees and bushes were bursting with new life. A tree at the top of the hill was covered with yellow flowers. Along the trail were trees with bright purple flowers and other trees with delicate white flowers. On the ground were bushes with pink flowers and wildflowers of all sorts of colors. The dark green of the evergreens was in stark contrast to the pale green of the newly budding leaves. It was a gorgeous day for a run.
If anyone was to ask "But which color is right?" or "Which color is best?" we would think they were crazy. You would never say that the purple flowers are superior to the white, or that the pink will take over from the yellow. The beauty is in the variety. Especially at spring time I see the hand of a very creative creator behind the variety of color and shape.
Yet ever so often I read in Heidi or Doc Bron's columns questions like "Which blood type is best?" or "Will Type A and B eventually replace Type O?" As if we could change our blood type, anyway! I enjoy the many personalities, sizes, talents, and yes, even blood types found among human beings. Each type has unique strengths, and each type has its challenges. What a dull world it would be if we were all the same. In the incredible variety of people there is evidence of intelligent design.
I hope it's spring where you are. Celebrate the joy of new life! And celebrate the unique and wonderful way you were made.

The weekend went by too quickly, always seems to anyway. With all the rain we got over the course of the week and especially on Saturday, the creek at the end of our driveway flooded the road in several areas and mooshed down some of the tall grass. I am soooo glad I didn't have to get out in that weather. We also had a few downed trees which explains the loss of power. But, the sun was out yesterday and hopefully we'll see it again this week.
Be sure to check out the PMS blog to see what the other girls did.

I was gonna save this for later, but since Wizards has forced my hand:
Cat Burglar
Cat Burglars originated in an ancient city with a group of Wizard students who had decent power but little patience. Having flunked out of school, they had turned to
theft to support themselves. While discussing how best to use their powers for gain
while drunk one night, one came up with the idea of changing form into a small cat
and appearing before the children of the richer households until one of them adopted
him. He would then scout the place for the group, and they could have advance information where the valuables were and how best to get to them. Their plan was
wildly successful and they became the leaders of a fairly decent Guild until
their secret got out.
Eventually the Cat Burglars art spread to other cities after the original Guild was
disbanded. Many have become adventurers, scouts, and people of a thiefly
persuasion. There are now schools (legitimate or otherwise) where the art can be
learned at an early age (i.e. it was originally a Prestige Class but has now become a
full Class after many decades). This wealth of knowledge has created specialized Cat Burglars who choose their career path (Cute, Sneaky, Spooky, Scared Mischievous, Snuggly, or Curious) at 2nd level. See Mad Skillz below for details.
You are best at being a party scout. Small, sneaky, and difficult to see you blend in every where. Concentrate on Feats that take advantage of your high Dex and small Size class. Cat Burglars are best at not being seen and snitching information (among other things).
Abilities: Dexterity and Charisma are of paramount importance to the
Cat Burglar. Much of their skills and abilities key off these
two stats. A decent Constitution and Wisdom wouldnt hurt
Races: Humans and Halflings by far make up the bulk of Cat Burglars.
Some Gnomes and Elves practice the art as well but it isnt at all common
among them. Dwarf and Half Orc Cat Burglars are virtually unknown.
Alignment: Cat Burglars may not be Lawful. Most tends towards Chaos
and Neutrality.
Starting Gold: Same as Rogue.
Starting Age: Same as Rogue.

Purr: Over time you have been taught a secret language you can only use in Kitty form. It is composed of the sounds cats naturally make, and their body language. Using it two Cat Burglars can have a conversation in front of people without their knowledge. Other Cat Burglars can understand you regardless of form, so you can even point out a target by, say, rubbing against him in a certain manner while meowing in a specific tone. You also may communicate with other cats as though you had permanent use of the spell Speak With Animals (cats only) at will. Using Purr to speak to cats is a Supernatural Ability.

In areas of tall grass or heavy undergrowth the Hide bonus raises to a +8. Your stats in this form are +4 Dex, -4 Str . When transforming all clothes and equipment that arent enchanted to remain (see below) fall off of you harmlessly and form a pile at your feet. While in Kitty Form you may use your Dexterity or your Strength bonus for Climb Checks, whichever is greater. Since you do not have hands, certain skill checks (Craft, Disable Device, Disguise, Forgery, Open Lock, and Use Rope) will be all but impossible. You can only speak as a cat in Kitty Form. You may not cast spells with Verbal or Somatic components unless you have a Feat allowing you to do so. If you are killed or knocked unconscious in Kitty Form you revert to humanoid form next round. Otherwise you may remain in Kitty Form as long as you wish.
Tiny Kitty Form covers most breeds of housecats, or the kittens of some feral cats mentioned above. Your abilities are the same as Small Kitty Form with the following exceptions: Your claws only do 1d2 and your bite 1d3. Stats are +6 Dex, -6 Str. Minimum Strength is 3.

You are based on stealth and guile. The entire goal is to learn to play a cat so well no one can tell the difference, not even a Druid. Or other cats. If the other players get captured you can likely escape because no one will be paying attention to you unless they know what you can do. You can feel free to go for help or sneak in, get the keys, and unlock their cell. You can even get yourself adopted by their enemies as a pet and learn their plans. When the evil Blaufeld rip off your DM is using appears stroking his pet cat, you might BE that cat. And weird old ladies will give you free munchies and cuddle you. Lets not forget the weird old ladies y'all.
Religion: Cat Burglars are partial to feline deities or to gods protecting thieves. Many worship the Fluffy Pantheon.
Other Classes: Cat Burglars prefer to band together with others of like mind such as the non lawful classes. Monks, Paladins, most Clerics, Knights, and others that take themselves quite seriously do not get along with the Cat Burglars. Either because they dont like their aloof and capricious nature, or because of their long association with illegal activities in the past (and present)..
Combat: Youre a snuggler, not a fighter. Let other classes worry about combat. There are options if you wish to pursue them, but you will never be a frontline combat expert unless you take a Prestige Class devoted to making you such.
Advancement: Cat Burglars are taught the same until second level when they take a specialty. There are Tuff Kitties:
Sneaky Kitties:
Cute Kitties:
Spooky Kitties:
Scared Kitties:
Mischievous Kitties:
Snuggly Kitties:
and Curious Kitties:
Kitties done stole mah cheese!
Cat Burglars are not well liked. They tend to foil a lot of schemes. They tend to scheme a lot themselves too. But telling them apart from your regular beloved pet kitty is kinda difficult. Some actually enjoy being a cat more than a person and spend much of their life in kitty form. After all they get free food and board, and dont have to do any work (except possibly mousing). On the downside sometimes owners want them fixed or declawed, and then you have to bribe somebody...
Daily Life: If youre a younger guild member you probably become an alley cat, and keep lookout on headquarters, or roam the streets trying to overhear info (and beg for free munchies). Or you may be a little kitten in the rich neighborhoods looking to be adopted. Or youve already been adopted, and are living the high life while probing the houses defenses. Or maybe your there to spy instead of casing the joint.
Notables: Notables among the Cat Burglars include the infamous Pinky (Cat Burglar 3/Barbarian 3/Son of Pinky 10). A Chaotic Neutral human, Pinky became so infamous that modern Cat Burglars who follow his path are called the Sons of Pinky (it is one of the few combat PrCs designed for this class). Pinky was a dedicated fighter who took care of any threats to his guild who were his adopted family ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwWYgQapkvo ). He was also infamous as an entrepeneur, starting the first known Trained Attack Sheep dealership. The other is Mommys Little Angel (Cat Burglar 10/Good Kitty 6) who pioneered many of the techniques used to charm and persuade others. Her race is ukown, and it is believed she was Chaotic Good. An expert on mind control she was the favored pet of the brutal dictator who oversaw her home city state and oversaw the revolution that toppled him from power ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmsV9R8FsDA ).
Organizations: Most Thiefs Guilds (or for that matter any organization devoted to fighting or committing crime) have at least a few Cat Burglars if they can afford them. Most are regional as the art has spread around the world, and most Cat Burglars are aloof and fey as the animals they portray. Many Guilds are composed almost entirely of Cat Burglars.
NPC Reaction
Most NPCs will immediately be somewhat superstitious if they have any idea what you are. In some countries you can still be burned at the stake for being a practicing witch. In others you will immediately be assumed to be a spy or thief. Its best you adopt a traveling disguise (Im an out of work actor, "I'm a woodsman", I'm a professional pig strangler", etc).
Cat Burglars will likely supersede Rogues as the best infiltrator class. Theyre somewhat magical abilities make them different enough that the two should be able to co exist though. Rogues are better fighters.
Adaptation: This is .a difficult class to adapt to a campaign. Its meant purely for humorous campaigns, and as such will not fit in elsewhere. Except possibly a super spy, James Bondish type deal, where everyones uncertain whats really going on till the end, and anyone can be a double agent.
Encounters: Most of the time NPC encounters with Cat Burglars will go unnoticed as the PCs will simply think they are feral cats or housepets. Or they might occasionally fall victim to theft or manipulation by them. If the Cat Burglars do it right the PCs may never even realize they were there.
