Fort Worth is launching a review of its master thoroughfare plan aimed at accommodating continued suburban growth and central city redevelopment with a greater variety of streets and more efficient traffic flow.
Longtime Fort Worth businessman, philanthropist and preservationist Holt Hickman died Nov. 15, 2014, at the age of 82.
A key linchpin in the Fort Worth economy, American Airlines Group Inc., is considering sites for a new headquarters, possibly outside the city, the airline's CEO said this morning.
Residents of West Fort Worth's Crestwood Association are trying to block the rezoning of a small apartment complex at White Settlement Road and North Bailey Avenue to make way for a planned office building, saying it would represent the start of commercial encroachment into their neighborhood.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The jobs recovery is chugging along, but the labor market remains far from fully healed from the crisis.
The U.S. economy added 288,000 jobs in April, the strongest month for job growth in two years, the Department of Labor said Friday. That number blew away economists' forecasts, and stocks rose following the news, although they have since fallen back.
The oft-quoted unemployment rate fell to 6.3%, down from 6.7% in March.
The severe winter had been holding back many economic statistics, as snowstorms slowed the housing market, retail sales and manufacturing. On Friday, the jobs numbers were revised higher for both February and March, showing the economy is over that winter lull.
"I'm very happy. It's good to see the economy kicking into gear and that we've really gotten past the weather issue," said John Silvia, chief economist for Wells Fargo.
That said, the unemployment rate told a more discouraging story. That number, which comes from a survey of households, shows fewer Americans are joining the labor force and fewer people report they're employed. These trends led to the unemployment rate falling to 6.3%, its lowest level since September 2008.
"The drop in participation is not due to discouraged workers leaving the labor force," a Department of Labor spokesperson noted, "it's due to re-entrants and new entrants who we expected to see flowing into the labor force, and who didn't this month."
This could mean fewer young people are entering the job market for the first time, and more seniors are retiring and staying that way. That said, participation also fell among the prime working-age population, and that's a discouraging sign, said Diane Swonk, chief economist for Mesirow Financial.
"These are our 'learners and earners' in society," she wrote in a blog post. "They should be in the prime of their careers; instead, they are un- or underemployed, struggling with a debilitating overhang of student debt and in a sad reflection of our economy, some are giving up entirely."
Economists also caution not to read too much into just one month of data. The big picture remains the same.
"The employment data can fluctuate from month to month, and while this month's report happens to be above expectations, it is still broadly consistent with the recent trends we have been seeing in the labor market," Jason Furman, top economic adviser to President Obama, wrote in a White House blog post.
Given the millions of jobs lost in the financial crisis, even solid hiring is still not enough to put the huge backlog of unemployed Americans back to work right away. The jobs recovery has dragged on for four years now, and long-term unemployment remains elevated with 3.5 million people out of a job for six months or more.
Economists estimate it could take at least another two years until the job market returns to its pre-recession health, when the unemployment rate was around 4% to 5%.
The good news is, the recovery is now broad-based across many industries.
One of the strongest sectors for job growth, for example, is professional and business services. The industry added 75,000 jobs in April. Over the last 12 months, it has added more than 660,000 jobs. Many of these are likely to be office jobs paying mid- to high-level wages.
Retail, restaurants and bars -- traditionally low-wage industries -- have also accounted for strong job growth, and blue-collar industries like manufacturing and construction are on the upswing.
The only major sector that continues to cut jobs is the federal government, which slashed 83,000 positions over the last 12 months.

Over the next several weeks, I will be posting about each of the plays in our upcoming summer season. We'll begin with the opening production—Tweflth Night.

Beginner, Fabric, Hand Stitching, Machine sewing, Quilting, Smitha Katti, Thread,
Whether it is your go-to bag for shopping or a gift for someone, this simple and chic crossbody purse is a great bag for everyday of the year.
My goal was to have 12 blocks sewn by the end of the month, ready to be put together as a quilt.
And now it's time to join those quilt blocks together!
Each month's block was trimmed to 8.5 by 8.5 inches, using an acrylic block. This yielded precisely square blocks, and so joining them together was very easy.
I played around with the idea of sewing strips of fabric between the blocks. But in the end, I loved the way the blocks looked together butted against each other. So I joined the 12 blocks to form a grid of 3 blocks by 4 blocks.
Next I added a thin printed fabric border around the center block formation. I cut 1.25 inch wide strips using my 60mm Rotary cutter for this.
Around this I added another 6inch wide neutral beige fabric border.
This completed my quilt front. The next step was to add my batting and create a quilt sandwich. I used a fusible batting this time, which was a first to me. I usually use pins to hold my quilt sandwich together, but this time I just needed to iron the quilt front, batting and quilt back together and that was it. I was especially impressed at how easy the fusible batting was to use, and enjoyed the hand quilting experience so much more this time.
I chose to hand stitch my quilt together, because that is something I enjoy doing. I love having something to sew while I watch TV, and nothing could be more perfect than a quilt! The hand quilting can be a little more time consuming, but I kept it simple to speed up the process.
I simply stitched around each of my blocks, using colored threads- I chose read and ochre tones here. After going around each block, I then tied a small knot to end the threads.
After completing the quilting, I used a Softgrip Pinking shears to trim the edges of the quilt.
Finally I chose my binding fabric, and machine stitched it onto the quilt edge. I next folded and hemmed it into place.
And the quilt was done.

Friday Wrap #129: High court's Facebook free speech case, Uber app isn't malware, Amazon activism
Posted on November 28, 2014 2:38 pm | Advertising | Brands | Business | Ethics | Facebook | Legal | Marketing | Mobile | Monitoring | Research | Social Media | Twitter
Flickr photo of wrapping a turkey in bacon courtesy of Jennifer MorrowA very Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers; I hope you enjoyed warmth, family, and turkey yesterday. Here's an abbreviated Friday Wrap (since there wasn't much news published yesterday or today); I'll be back with a more complete round-up next week. In the meantime, be sure to follow my link blog to stay on top of all the items I collect, from which I select stories for the Wrap and for my weekly podcast.
Free speech on Facebook goes to the U.S. Supreme Court—On Monday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case that will decide when the First Amendment protects violent posts on social media. Anthony Elonis is facing a 44-month prison sentence for posting threats to his ex-wife on Facebook. While his ex felt like she was being stalked, Elonis is claiming that he's an aspiring rapper who quoted works from Jay-Z, the Notorious B.I.G., and Eminem. "Art is about pushing limits," he wrote; "I'm willing to go to jail for my constitutional rights." The court will determine whether the law under which Elonis was convicted requires proof of subjective intent to threaten, and whether the First Amendment requires a similar standard of proof.

You can now select a YouTube URL that reflects your Channel name—YouTube creators are now able to change to a new URL using the Creator Studio. To take advantage of the feature, your channel needs to have a minimum of 500 subscribers, and there are some steps to follow. Once you go through the process, YouTube will recommend some URLs "based on your channel's description, Google identity and associated websites." Read more
Twitter tests analytics within each tweet—Twitter is experimenting with a feature that will display the analytics of a tweet from directly inside that tweet. If you're one of the Twitter users included in the test, you'll see a "view analytics details" button on the mobile app. When you tap it, you'll see total impressions, total engagements, engagement rate, and other details. Read more
Twitter CFO accidentally discloses acquisition—I've done it. You've probably done it. You think you're sending a direct message on Twitter but actually send the tweet publicly. That's what happened to Anthony Noto, Twitter's chief financial officer, when he tweeted, "I still think we should buy them. He is on y our schedule for De 15 or 16—we will need to sell him. i have a plan." The errant tweet led to a lot of speculation over the target as well as discussion about the gaffe. If there's a lesson to learn, it's that these things happen. Deal with them and move on. Read more
Uber app isn't malware, but it does symbolize a problem—One blog post was responsible for spreading an inaccurate message this week: that the Uber app is malware. It's not. The concerns that led to the post were the same that had the Internet abuzz with reports of all the horrible things Facebook's Messenger app was doing. Like Messenger, Uber has to use the default permission language written by Google (for Android) and Apple (for iOS). The permissions sound scary, writes The Next Web's Owen Williams, but their uses are legitimate. In an email to readers, Editor-in-Chief Martin Bryant pointed out, "The real problem here is that tech companies don't describe what they're doing well enough. Super-simple terms and conditions would be better for everyone. I've noticed a growing cynicism from a segment of our readers about every new data-focused app released, both from 'big guys' like Google and Facebook to tiny new startups alike… clearer communication is one step every tech company can take to help maintain the trust of their users." I couldn't agree more. Read more
Amazon activism is now a thing—The Rainforest Action Network (RAN) took to Amazon's review feature to protest against PepsiCo's use of palm oil sourced from the rainforest. In the section of a product page where customers can ask questions, RAN members posted queries like, "Is Pepsi Co. still destroying forests for palm oil? I can think of more environmentally friendly companies to get drinks from." The campaign was launched in an effort to force the food-and-drink company to adopt a palm oil purchasing policy. Based on the visibility the campaign achieved, we can expect others to adopt the technique. Read more
Employees caught creating fake reviews for their company's app—Canada's Bell Mobility hadn't gotten many positive reviews for the original app; it rated just 2 stars on average in the iTunes Store. The company removed the app and introduced a new one, which quickly amassed several five-star ratings. When Scott Stratten dug a little deeper, though, he found those reviewing the app were mostly Bell Canada staffers from either the marketing or IT departments. Non-employee reviews weren't so kind. "Not only is this not ethical," Stratten writes, "it also breaks every review site rule or TOS." It's not a practice to emulate. Read more
Automated ad placement can cause problems—There's much to be said for automated ad placement, but it caused some problems for The New York Times recently. The Times ran an article on the North Dakota oil boom. The article wasn't kind to oil companies, but it did note that Statoil has an impressive safety record. A Statoil display ad appeared alarmingly close to the paragraph referencing the company. Statoil didn't place the ad there deliberately—it was placed there coincidentally by the automation process. The opposite is equally possible: your ad appears alongside critical or objectionable commentary. Read more
Employees don't share professional accomplishments via social media—Only 15% of workers share successes and recognition via their social media accounts, preferring to share that kind of news in person. Other results from the LinkedIn/Wakefield Research study include the fact that employees care more about small successes than major advances. Small successes lead employees to feel better about their jobs, which in turn results in them working harder. Read more
Small business embraces Facebook video—The number of small and medium-sized business posting video to Facebook has nearly doubled in the last 12 months. 800,000 businesses posted more than 3 million videos online in September alone, according to Facebook. The social network is attracting more than 1 billion videos per day, and video advertising has proven successful. Read more
Mobile and Wearables
New service lets you search notifications pushed via mobile—You use notifications to communicate with customers' mobile devices, but you have no idea how you stack up against competitors who also push messages. Batch Insights aggregates push notifications so you can search, filter, and manipulate the ones people are receiving from thousands of popular apps. You can count on more such tools for measuring mobile activity will be appearing at a steady clip. Read more
Watchmakers crack down on bootleg watch faces—On my Moto 360, I have installed a watchface that looks a lot like a Rolex Oyster. It's not an exact replicy; it says Moto 360 instead of Rolex, but that crown logo is prominent. Watchmakers are getting wise to the fact that hobbyists are creating watchfaces designed to emulate their expensive designs, which users are installing on a variety of smartwatches. Takedown requests are starting to pour in from brands including omega, Panerai, Swatch, and Tissot. According to one report, the watchmakers aren't really worried about the digital replicas, but are obligated to take this step in order to continue taking action against more traditional counterfeits.

Product description
Far from being pessimistic or nihilistic, as modern uses of the term 'cynic' suggest, the ancient Cynics were astonishingly optimistic regarding human nature. They believed that if one simplified one's life - giving up all unnecessary possessions, desires, and ideas - and lived in the moment as much as possible, one could regain one's natural goodness and happiness. It was a life exemplified most famously by the eccentric Diogenes, nicknamed 'the Dog', and his followers, called dog-philosophers, kunikoi, or Cynics. Rebellious, self-willed, and ornery but also witty and imaginative, these dog-philosophers are some of the most colorful personalities from antiquity. This engaging introduction to Cynicism considers both the fragmentary ancient evidence on the Cynics and the historical interpretations that have shaped the philosophy over the course of eight centuries - from Diogenes himself to Nietzsche and beyond. Approaching Cynicism from a variety of thematic perspectives as well - their critique of convention, praise of natural simplicity, advocacy of self-sufficiency, defiance of Fortune, and freedom - William Desmond offers a fascinating survey of a school of thought that has had a tremendous influence throughout history and is of continuing interest today.

AAA Awards 4 Diamond Rating To 15 Hotels, 5 Restaurants In Michigan
SOUTHFIELD (WWJ) - More than a dozen hotels and a handful of restaurants in Michigan can once again claim bragging rights as "best-of-the-best."
It's among the top honors in the travel industry: AAA's prestigious Four-Diamond rating. Spokesperson Nancy Cain said the Four-Diamond awards are presented each year to hotels and restaurants that exhibit hospitality industry excellence.
Cain said every location on the list had to pass some pretty stringent guidelines in order to make the cut. The rankings are based on secret visits by AAA inspectors with a long list of criteria to check.
"Just like a regular tourist, they will show up and they've got a checklist of more than 1,000 different things. Is the hotel lobby clean and elegant? Are the services good? Do the rooms have nice linens and carpeting? You know, they check everything," she said.
A total 15 hotels and five restaurants across Michigan have earned the AAA Four-Diamond Award for 2013.
• Birmingham – The Townsend Hotel
• Dearborn – The Dearborn Inn
• Dearborn — The Henry Hotel Autograph Collection
• Detroit — The Westin Book Cadillac
• Detroit — MotorCity Casino Hotel
• Detroit — MGM Grand Hotel
• Grand Rapids – Amway Grand Plaza Hotel
• Grand Rapids — JW Marriott Hotel
• Kalamazoo — Radisson Plaza Hotel and Suites
• Mackinac Island – The Grand Hotel
• Mount Pleasant – Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort
• Plymouth – The Inn at St. John's
• Rochester – Royal Park Hotel
• Romulus — The Westin Detroit Metropolitan Airport
• Southfield – The Westin Southfield
• Birmingham – Rugby Grill
• Detroit — Iridescence
• Farmington Hills – Café Cortina
• Grand Rapids – Cygnus 27
• West Bloomfield – The Lark

Broncos wonder if their former coach should be allowed to join New England for playoffs. Terry McCormick
Josh McDaniels' name is still mud in Denver, as Bronco fans regard him as the man who drove the franchise into the ditch.
But this week, when the Broncos look across the sideline, there will be McDaniels back on Bill Belichick's staff in New England just in time to face the team he coaches through the 2010 season.
Could McDaniels, who served as offensive coordinator for the woebegone St. Louis Rams this year, offer the Patriots a competitive advantage into how the Broncos offense and defense works, something that can be an edge in the AFC Divisional Playoff matchup?
The Denver Post raises the notion that by Belichick throwing a lifesaver toward McDaniels and bringing him on board now to eventually replace Bill O'Brien as offensive coordinator, it allows the Patriots insight into the inner workings of the Broncos that they otherwise might not have.
It also is interesting to note that McDaniels also drafted both quarterback Tim Tebow and receiver Demaryius Thomas, who were first-round picks in his final draft in Denver and were the heroes of Sunday's OT win against Pittsburgh.

Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Seattle's Chad Marshall named MLS defender of the year NEW - 11/25, 08:47 AM
On the verge of retiring in 2012, Marcus Hahnemann was coaxed into finishing his remarkable goalkeeping career with Sounders FC. Now, less than two years later, he'll likely be the club's starting keeper in 2014.
After winning the 1993 NCAA Division || National Championship at Seattle Pacific University, his professional soccer odyssey has taken him to many places, including a successful stint with the A-League Seattle Sounders starting in 1994. From 1997 to 2012, he played for six clubs: Colorado, Fulham, Rochdale, Reading, Wolverhampton and Everton.

Work, toddlers and stress, oh my!
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 08-05-2012 - 10:04pm
My husband and I have been married for 8 years. We both work full time (60-80 hours/week for the last three years and continuing for one more year--I'll be done with my residency and switch to working 40-50 hours/week). And we have almost 3 y/o twin boys. So, crazy busy household. My husband and I are typically like peas in a pod: rarely disagree, never fight, love to spend time together. But the last year or so, he's been having a rough time. He hates his job, but can't quit because he's in the military and he's about 6 years from retirement. He's super depressed, always talking about how he hates his life, and we shouldn't have had kids, etc, etc. I know he doesn't mean these things and he's saying them because he's depressed, but I feel like I'm banging my head against a well trying to get through to him, to make things better. I always listen when he's ranting, I sympathize, I propose solutions which he quickly discards. He refuses to get counseling or do medication because it will impact his career/security clearance (he's right on that one, unfortunately).
I'm just not sure how to help him. I committed to this marriage and have no intentions of ever leaving him. He used to be this happy, creative guy who was always doing things to show me how much he loved me, surprising me. I still see that side of him sometimes when he's playing with the boys, but the rest of the time he's miserable. I've started to wonder if me being sympathetic is actually making things worse. Maybe I should acknowlege his feelings and then change the subject? I don't want to drive a rift between us, but it's starting to wear on me. I work just as many hours as he does, if not more. And when I get home, I have two toddlers who are all over me, wanting a story, wanting hugs, wanting me to play with them. And once I get them in bed, I get to deal with him lamenting about how his life sucks and our children drive him nuts. I know part of my frustration is that I'm not taking care of myself very well. I've never been good at that and he used to push me to do self care, send me to the spa, etc. I'm afraid it'll make things worse if I start doing my own thing in the little time we have together in the evenings (I actually proposed this a few months ago and he got really upset and asked me if I was going to leave him--Ugh!).
Does anyone have any suggestions? I feel like we have a great relationship, but he's so miserable, and I want to help him both for him and for our family. Neither of us can quit our jobs. We already have a nanny and someone to come in and clean the house so we don't spend our very little free time doing those things. I just don't know what else to do...
|Sun, 08-05-2012 - 10:26pm
YOu really can't stop taking care of yourself or you will go nuts too. Taking an hour off for a mani-pedi or a massage will relax you & put you in a better mood. I just can't imagine doing a residency & having little kids--do you ever get to sleep? I don't know, I have 2 suggestions, I don't know which one will work. The first is that if your DH won't do counseling, will he read a book? If he enjoys playing w/ the kids, then obviously he doesn't really mean it when he said that he wished you didn't have kids--I mean if you hadn't had kids, how would that be improving his life if what's really bothering him is that he hates his job? I might tell him that you are tired of hearing that he wishes he didn't have kids because they are going to pick up on that--what if they hear him say it? The kids are here so he just needs to figure out how to deal w/ it. You can say that he doesn't listen to any solutions that you propose, so does he just like to vent or is he actually going to do something about it?
|Mon, 08-06-2012 - 9:12pm
Thanks for the reply! I took your advice and dyed my hair and took a super long hot shower when I got up today (I'm working nights at the moment). I do feel better.
My husband loves our boys and is great with them. He likes to put them on his head and pretend they are hats and they laugh and laugh. I think he just says it because he's frustrated.
I'm starting to think he's trying to get sympathy or something when he complains. I can't imagine he expects me to solve his problems at work. It seems like when I listen and sympathize with him, he just keeps lamenting. When I either don't reply or change the subject, sometimes he'll drop it. Do you think this is a good plan? Guys like to be left alone when they're upset, right? I feel like I've been too much "in his wheaties" lately, and maybe he's feeling emasculated by it. I don't know. Any thoughts?

Traditional proverb. Cholesterol (and artery disease) Cholesterol has the image of a rampaging killer in the minds of most New Zealanders. This is understandable – it is a mix of cholesterol (a waxy substance) and Calcium that narrows and hardens our arteries, especially the coronary arteries that supply blood to our heart muscle. The NZ average is 4.5 for teenagers, steadily increasing to 6.5 for 70 year olds. Average is 5.7. Over 5.0 is generally regarded as undesirable, and over 7.0 unsafe. However researchers are now claiming that high cholesterol is not the danger drug companies would like us to believe. Researchers at the University of San Diego School of Medicine point out that high cholesterol in those aged over 75 is protective rather than harmful, and that low cholesterol is a risk factor for heart arrhythmia, the main cause of death when a heart attack occurs. Higher cholesterol has also been linked with a lower risk of Alzheimer's. (I hope to present a clearer picture of all this in the new 9th edition of this book, early 2008. David Coory.) Nevertheless, current odds are that a narrowed artery, blocked by a blood clot will be a likely cause of your own death. Common belief is that our diet is to blame for this narrowing, especially fatty foods high in cholesterol such as eggs. The whole truth is much more complex than this however, and from the massive amount of research that has taken place over past years some very interesting facts have emerged. Fact 1 There are two main types of cholesterol found in our bodies – 'good' high density (HDL) which is essential for many functions in our body, and the level of which usually remains constant. And 'bad' low density, which is regarded as bad, and is linked to narrowed arteries, blocked gall bladders and also raises the fat levels in our blood. This low-density cholesterol comes in three forms, LDL, LA and VLDL (bad, very bad and even worse). The levels can fluctuate wildly. Contrary to general belief, both types of cholesterol are 23 "As our body ages we require more nutrients and fewer calories." Jane Kinderlehrer, American lecturer on nutrition. Vitamin B12 Many disorders have been linked with lack of this very important vitamin. B12 like the other B vitamins is a brain nutrient and necessary for a sense of well being and relaxation. However unlike the other B vitamins, B12 is not normally found in fruits, grains and vegetables, but in animal products such as milk, eggs and meat. It has also been found in natural water supplies. Liver and pipis are a rich source. As might be expected, deficiencies have been found among strict vegetarians, but mostly in the western world. Deficiencies are uncommon among the people of poorer nations, many of whom live solely on a vegetarian diet. One likely explanation is that B12, which is only required in tiny amounts, is obtained from untreated drinking and cooking water, and from insect life, especially eggs consumed along with plants. Not all peoples tend to be as fanatical about food hygiene as Westerners. The mineral Cobalt is part of B12. Some NZ soils are seriously low in this mineral and farm stock have suffered badly in the past. Cobalt is now added to fertiliser where necessary. One American researcher found levels of Cobalt to be very low in violent offenders by using hair analysis. Even when animal products are part of the diet, deficiencies of B12 are widespread among the elderly (especially the blue eyed), many of whom appear to have difficulty in absorbing B12 from food. A UK survey during 2001 found 50% of the elderly to be deficient. Monthly injections of the vitamin are often given to overcome this problem. Our liver can normally store over four years supply. Often schizophrenia-like symptoms occurring after 40 years of age, such as hearing voices in the head, poor memory and mental confusion, are the result of B12 deficiency. These symptoms are often put down to senility in the elderly. Other disorders strongly linked with lack of B12 are multiple 65 sclerosis (a nerve disease), osteoporosis, arthritis, listlessness, food or chemical allergies, and patchy loss of pigmentation in brown skinned people and balance problems. Excess sugar consumption and the birth control pill are also known to lower body levels of B12. Role in our body • Helps us absorb nutrients from food. • Assists in the forming of red blood cells. • Helps maintain health of bones and bone marrow. • Helps regulate brain activity and feeling of well being. • Helps maintain health of nerve fibres. • Assists in regulating fat storage. Too little • Schizophrenia and senility type symptoms. Insomnia. Poor balance and depression. • Weak red blood cells (anaemia). Pale skin. Low energy. • Painful joints, sometimes with brown discolouration. • Calcium growths. Osteoporosis and Arthritis (factor). • Reduced sense perception (weak eyesight, hearing, touch, etc). • Weak, painful, poorly controlled muscles, difficulty in walking smoothly, especially in the dark. • Numb, tingly, legs and fingers. • Multiple sclerosis (factor). • Easy bruising. • Dark red tongue. Swollen face tissue. • Premature grey hair. • Patchy loss of skin pigmentation in brown skinned people. • Lung cancer in heavy smokers (factor). • Food and chemical allergies. Too much No known toxic effects. Cooking losses No significant losses. "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine."

Inability to count backward from 20, or to draw a clock face. 2. Unawareness of year or day of week. 3. No longer able to operate normal household appliances. 4. Getting lost in familiar surroundings. HEALTH HINT Milk can supply B12 needs If strict vegetarianism appeals, the minor compromise of two glasses of milk daily (whole or low-fat) should take care of Vitamin B12 needs. 67 HEALTH HINT After antibiotics Antibiotics can be effective drugs for killing harmful bacteria and serious infections, but they also kill vitamin producing bacteria in our intestines. Yeast infections and diarrhoea are common disorders following antibiotic treatment. Yoghurt can help our body re-establish this necessary bacteria during and following antibiotic treatment. A faster acting supplement known as lactobacillus acidophilus is also available from health food shops for this purpose. Homemade Yoghurt Ingredients 1 cup Milk powder (whole or low-fat). 2 cups Luke warm water. 1 tsp Honey (optional). 2 tbsp Yoghurt (not more than ten days old). Dissolve the honey in the water then add the milk powder and beat. Gently stir in the yoghurt starter and leave overnight in a warm place 35 to 50ºC. Should keep approximately two weeks in a refrigerator. HEALTH HINT Avoiding headaches We can largely avoid headaches by following these four rules: 1. Sleep regular hours. 2. Arise from bed early. 3. Avoid anxious thoughts. 4. Take a daily 2 km walk in the fresh air. "There is no known disease caused by a deficiency of synthetic pharmaceuticals in the body."

However if energy levels are high, Iron deficiency is unlikely. Adequate Zinc protects against an excess of Iron. "The most important crop, is a race of healthy men and women. This is only possible if the soil is fertile." Sir Albert Howard 110 Manganese Manganese is a mineral that has numerous roles in our body. Deficiencies seem firmly linked with modern diseases, especially diabetes and artery disease which are often found together. Average NZ intake is thought to be generally satisfactory, but 10% of people obtain less than half the RDI. An American study of 122 diabetics found their average levels of Manganese to be only half those of normal people. Epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, deafness, balance problems and noises in the ear are other common disorders linked with lack of Manganese. Epilepsy and multiple sclerosis have been found to respond to Manganese and Zinc supplements, often effecting a cure. Wheatgerm and bran are rich sources of Manganese but these are mostly removed during the milling of wheat for white flour. Wholemeal flour retains the full amount of Manganese along with other important minerals and vitamins. Role in our body • Helps utilise the nutrients from our food. • Assists in the manufacture and regulation of fats. • Helps our body manufacture insulin to regulate blood sugar. • Assists in sex hormone production. • Assists in forming mother's milk. • Helps regulate bone growth in children. • Important for health of brain and nervous system. • Helps our body eliminate waste and toxins. Too little • Nervousness. Insomnia. Mental disorders. • Bone and flesh malformities in infants. Convulsions. • Multiple Sclerosis. • High cholesterol levels. High blood pressure. Heart attack. Stroke. • Noises in ears. Balance problems. • Spinal disc problems. • Diabetes. Hypoglycaemia. • Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI or OOS). 115 Food additive code numbers Additives in processed foods have a reputation for being harmful, but 85% of additives have never proved to be detrimental to health in any way. Additives are normally listed on food packaging along with the ingredients, in descending order of weight. Typical additives are anti-oxidants to help prevent fats becoming rancid, baking powder, to provide gas for raising dough, colourings to enhance the appearance of food, emulsifiers to allow the mixing of oil and water, starches and gelling agents to thicken liquids, and stabilisers to help prevent ingredients separating. To identify additives, and also to save printing space on food packaging, a code number system has been developed. Below are the code numbers currently used. Listed alongside each number is the chemical name of the additive, the main use of the additive, and the source.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Nissan Altima
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.1
In the crowded mid-size family sedan segment, Nissan's 2012 Altima remains a viable alternative to the Honda Accord, Chevrolet Malibu and Volkswagen Passat. Although starting to show its age, the 2012 Altima Sedan still has much to offer. While it's not as sleek or modern as the Kia Optima or Hyundai Sonata, the Altima is still an attractive car with a very sporty side that makes it a favorite among enthusiast-oriented drivers who need four doors. With a choice of 4- or 6-cylinder engines, and even a hybrid model, the 2012 Altima Sedan covers a wide price bracket with features ranging from basic needs to cutting edge. Regrettably, Nissan has chosen to drop its manual transmission, even from the V6 cars, leaving a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) as the only choice. The CVT is excellent for maximizing fuel economy and power, and it even features a program to make it feel as though it is shifting gears like a traditional transmission. But, if you want to know the joy of shifting for yourself, you'll have to look to the Honda Accord, Kia Optima or Mazda Mazda6 for that thrill.
The 2012 Nissan Altima Sedan is a car with multiple personalities. In base form, it serves those seeking a low-cost source of secure transportation while still enjoying some nice standard features. Go big, and you can be driving a potent V6-powered sport sedan loaded with everything from a Bose audio system to voice-activated navigation.
If the "newest and the latest" are a big part of your car-buying criteria, the aging 2012 Nissan Altima probably won't excite you. The Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata offer fresher skin and cost less when comparably equipped. Others worth considering include the VW Passat, Dodge Charger and Toyota Camry.
Changes for 2012 are limited to a new Value Package that includes Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, auto on/off headlights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and HomeLink. Bluetooth is now standard on the 3.5 SR and available on the 2.5 S.
Driving Impressions The key to the 2012 Nissan Altima Sedan's longevity is a rigid body structure that helps boost the car's sporty driving characteristics. Even the base cars with their smaller wheel...and tire packages and 4-cylinder engines are fun to drive. The action gets more intense when you move the V6-powered 3.5 SR, which offers 270 horses under the hood, bigger wheels, and a performance suspension. Again, there are newer and better suspensions out there, but the Altima still offers a pleasant combination of comfortable ride and good handling that should satisfy all but the most hard-core drivers. The Altima Sedan's 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) deliver competent and consistent stops, and the standard Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) adds both driver-selectable stability and traction controls to deliver an extra measure of confidence.
Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT)
Xtronic is Nissan's third-generation CVT. This computer-controlled stepless shifter helps improve performance and economy and lessen emissions. In Sport mode, it even creates six "virtual" gears that closely approximate the response of a conventional manual gearbox.
Optional 2.5 SL Package
This fashionable extras' group gives buyers who want a more fuel-efficient 4-cylinder Altima 2.5 S virtually all of the main upscale trappings of a 3.5 SR, adding leather upholstery, power and heated front seats, rear air vents, HomeLink universal garage-door opener and numerous lesser luxury touches.
The 2012 Nissan Altima Sedan's cabin is a handsome design that has stood the test of time well. Nissan adds a generous helping of quality plastics and soft-touch surfaces, as well as numerous storage spots for drinks, cell phones and valuables. Controls are logically placed and easy to view, backlit with white or red lighting. The instrument cluster houses the tachometer, speedometer, fuel and temp gauges, again with white font and bright red needles. As for comfort, we found the Altima Sedan's seats a bit soft, needing more in the way of lateral and lower back support. Rear-seat accommodations are fine for two adults, but those needing maximum head or legroom will probably want to look elsewhere, perhaps at the Dodge Charger or Honda Accord. The Altima's 60/40 rear split-bench seat can be folded down, accessing the 15.3-cubic-foot trunk.Exterior
Covered in traditional Nissan styling details, the 2012 Altima Sedan is trying to keep pace with a rapidly expanding field of newer, fresher competitors, but it's getting tougher every year. New wheel designs help the car look current, as do little touches such as the available rear spoiler and bright metallic paint. Upper-end trims include foglights, chrome trim around the deck lid and tailpipes, and integrated turn signals in the side mirrors.
Even the low-volume, 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5 base model includes anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, power locks, air conditioning and push-button start/stop. The 2.5 S, which accounts for the majority of all Altima sales, adds an audio system with CD player, Intelligent Key keyless entry and offers the luxury-oriented SL Package as an option. In addition to its V6 power the 3.5 SR appeals to driving enthusiasts with its sport-tuned suspension and performance tires. On the safety front, all Altimas feature front, front-side and side-curtain airbags.
An impressive array of upgrade packages is offered for all but the base 2.5. Even the 2.5 S can be outfitted with leather upholstery, a dual-zone climate-control system, power moonroof, voice-activated navigation system, premium Bose audio system, XM Satellite Radio, rearview camera and lots more. The 3.5 SR offers a Premium Package that adds heated front seats, driver's-side power lumbar support, rearview monitor and Bose audio with nine speakers. The Technology Package adds Nissan's next-generation hard-drive navigation and audio unit complete with streaming Bluetooth, real-time traffic and weather updates and Zagat restaurant review guide.
Conventional 2012 Altima Sedans offer the choice of an in-line-4 cylinder engine or a V6. Both engines are made from lightweight aluminum, have four valves per cylinder and use continuously-variable valve timing to improve response and efficiency across their entire operating ranges. The 2.5-liter four develops a solid 175 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque while the 3.5-liter V6 raises those figures to 270 and 258, respectively. Nissan's Xtronic CVT (continuously variable automatic transmission) is the only transmission choice.
2.5-liter in-line 4
175 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm
170 horsepower @ 5,600 rpm (California)
180 lb-ft of torque @ 3,900 rpm
175 lb-ft of torque @ 3,900 rpm (California)
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 23/32
3.5-liter V6
270 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm
258 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/27

"The 2007 Altima 2.5 SL is a great car for the money. It is one of the most reliable vehicles on the market. With the exceptional interior quality and plenty of power (for a 4-cylinder) I would not hesitate to buy this vehhicle again."

"Just turned 5 yrs with my 2010 2.5SL. Not a single mechanical problem. Zero. Quiet, comfortable ride and SL (leather) package gives more upscale feel than rental-car trim of base car. Bose stereo is decent. Handling is quick for a family sedan. Fold-down rear seat very handy for hauling my bike & gear to rides and events. Real world MPG's (US gal)- 26-28 city/suburbs and 34 hwy (at low 70's mph) Really has been a great car. Recently spent 2+wks with a relative's new Accord EX-L (4cy, leather) and still prefer my '10 Altima. Honda's seats were not as supportive, handling not quite as sharp, and inferior stereo. Only advantage of the Accord was more rear seat headroom for tall (6ft) adults. My only other 2 nitpicks about the Altima are no height-adjust on passenger front seat (but no other non-lux midsize has this either) and the piano-hinges on the trunk lid can squeeze big items in the trunk."

"Gets 35 MPG on freeway at a steady 70 MPH. The 4 cylinder has good power and the variable speed transmission is very smooth. The dealer found what we wanted - cloth interior with moon roof. It's a bit simple compared to high tech models today, but absolutely nothing has gone wrong. Bought a 2009 4 door for wife and liked it so much, I went looking for a used 2 door Altima coupe. Ended up with a new 2010 4 door for me at a great deal. No regrets! The trunk accepts a full size real spare tire, which I bought for both cars."

The biopic is alive and well this fall movie season, and luckily the latest offerings are much better than Lifetime's Aaliyah movie. In The Imitation Game, Benedict Cumberbatch plays Alan Turing, the British mathematician who helped cracked Nazi code during World War II, while fellow English dreamboat Eddie Redmayne tackles the early life of cosmologist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. Typically you'll see one of these attractive actors on the red carpet and think, "Marry me." But when you see them portraying a brilliant mind on the big screen you're suddenly like, "Marry me, and have my babies while taking care of my taxes until death do us part!"

Benedict Cumberbatch made us giggle like schoolgirls when he couldn't stop laughing at the word "booty," and dared to impersonate the one and only Taylor Swift.

Kim Kardashian's Paper magazine cover is still getting chatter online. Madonna recently weighed in, posting a topless photo of herself to Instagram. Madge said she didn't see why nipples were censored, but photos of women's butts were fair game. The message was seen as a veiled dig at Kim K., so how did the reality star respond?
Miley Cyrus marked her 22nd birthday with a massive bash in Los Angeles. New boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger was by her side as guests were treated to a pizza-shaped cake and mechanical penis rides.

This was a demonstration recipe at Charlotte Anne Albertson's Cooking School (Wynnewood, PA), for "Awesome Soups with Brian Duffy" (Jan 24, 2006). Brian Duffy (http://chefduff.com) hosted the Food Network shows "Date Plate" and "Hot Trends 2005" and is executive chef at Shanachie, an Irish restaurant in Ambler, PA. This will make 3/4 gallon soup, enough for 12 8 oz servings. NOTE: "White chicken stock" is made by using unroasted chicken bones. If using store-bought chicken stock, use a low sodium variety and be careful when seasoning -- you don't want an overly salty broth.

These 50 series Big Block mufflers have proven to not only significantly improve acceleration and towing power, but to simultaneously increase fuel economy as well. Because of their efficiency, underhood temperatures on trucks and motor homes can be reduced as much as 200 degrees F--helping to lengthen the service life of other engine components. These mufflers are designed and sized for larger gas and diesel engines typically used in towing vehicles and RVs. So, for more comfortable cruising, Flowmaster tuned them for reduced exterior exhaust sound and lower levels of interior resonance.
