Glow worms in the Waitomo Caves are a sight to see, and travel through the countryside was very scenic.
Roy S
United Kingdom
A very full day, and very enjoyable. Great value for money.
Long day and lots of travelling to combine all aspects of this trip, but it was well worth it. The glow worm caves were astounding, and the thermal springs in Rotorua amazing. This one-day tour will probably whet the appetite to return for more. The coach and driver were first class, and the driver's rhetoric was memorable.
Mark L
This was the best tour that I booked on Viator! The day is fun filled and packed with so many exciting things to see!
Waitomo Caves were really nice and the glow worms were fantastic. I was disappointed we didn't get a chance to exit through the bottom of the caves since it rained a lot. The Agrodome sheep farm was a lot of fun since we got ot fed the sheeps, alpaca lamas, deers, and ostriches. The tour itself was great. Then we headed to the Maori museum and checked out the geysers and mud baths. Overall, it was a great tour.
Lubica B
Great way to see Waitomo Caves and Rotorua if you only have limited time in Auckland. We had a great time! Big thank you to our driver and guide, he was very knowledgeable and very professional.
The trip covers the main attraction of Waitomo Caves and the Rotorua geyser. We were most impressed with the service from the supplier and the knowledge and commentaries of our driver cum guide Steve throughout the journey. Highly recommended for first time visitors with lesser time to move around the country on your own.
The trip was great! Even though the weather was not so good that day, we had a wonderful time! The guides were all excellent, not only on the bus, but at all of the stops. A must do day trip!
Sharon V
United Kingdom
A long day but worth it an excellent trip and the driver/guide was good. Unfortunately, it was a very cold day and we went out on a coach with a mechanical problem, it fell out of gear so it had to stop regularly and no heat meant we had misted up windows, on a scenic coach, but we were provided with blankets. We were a little late on arrival at destinations because of the mechanical problem so felt a bit rushed. The driver did apologize regularly, but he could do nothing about it!
Lisa E
United Kingdom
I cannot recommend this trip highly enough! The driver and tour guide were fantastic and shared with us their knowledge of the little towns we drove through on our journey. The lunch provided was wonderful and our guide kept us stocked up on tea and coffee throughout the journey. So much was packed into the day and the caves, Agrodome and Rotorua were fantastic places to visit! It was fantastic value and would recommend this trip to everyone!
Excellent all the way! Friendly, efficient, and great sights! The large audience for the Maori dance took away some of the atmosphere, but you kind of expect that.
Chinh P
It is a whole day trip. The service is really good! The Waitomo cave with glowing worms and the geyser, and the boiling mud in Rotorua are amazing! We enjoyed this tour!
Cleo S
For a lone traveller was a safe, easy way to see many things the north island has to offer. Very enjoyable, informative, packed day trip.
Baron R
Very interesting. Well run. A once in a lifetime experience!
This is truly a trip to take if you have limited time but want to see different aspects of New Zealand. A must do. I went with my two children, ages 11 and 9, and they had a blast! The driver and commentator were very helpful and friendly. I cannot say enough positive things about this trip. My only regret is not enough time at the Maori gift shop.

Safely Clean Your TV Screen
- Login to add to Favorites
- 0 Comments
Before you clean your TV screen, turn off the set and wait till it's cool. If you don't, the act of wiping the screen can cause static buildup that will discharge back to your TV, resulting in severe damage. Even if the set is off, don't touch the controls immediately after cleaning your set. Instead, touch a grounded item first to release any static charge.
To prevent dirt from building up on the glass and dimming the picture, clean your TV screen often with a soft cloth or a sheet of fabric softener that's been through the dryer. Never use any other liquid cleaner or an aerosol product to clean your screen. Excess moisture can get inside and damage sensitive electronic parts.

Philippine government, Muslim rebels to sign final peace deal on March 27
Friday, March 14, 2014
ANKARA - The peace agreement between the Philippines government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will be signed on March 27, Philippine presidential advisor confirmed Friday.
"After 17 long years of arduous negotiations, we are finally arriving at a political settlement that will seal enduring peace and progress in Mindanao," said Teresita Quintos Deles said in a statement.
The peace agreement represents the culmination of diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict in Mindanao, home of the Muslim minority, that began in the 1970s and killed at least 120,000 people, mostly civilians.
MILF and several other armed groups have fought to gain independence for the Christian country's predominantly Muslim south, determined to earn what leaders on the ground term "a better life" for the country's Muslim population. The violence has also left large parts of the country's fertile southern region mired in poverty.
The Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) aims to give greater autonomy to the regional government in the Bangsamaro, located in the south of Mindanao.
"The signing of the CAB is expected to benefit not only the Bangsamoro but the entire country, and will radiate beyond our borders to the regional community, and perhaps the whole world," Deles added.
Deles said that preparations for the event are currently underway.

SoloPower writes check, avoids state actions

SoloPower has made an interest-only loan payment to the state that could prevent the company from facing foreclosure.
The Oregonian newspaper reported late Monday that the company paid $50,800 to the state's Department of Energy. The paper had reported Friday that the energy department would foreclose on the $10 million loan if SoloPower had missed the payment.
The company, which makes thin solar film, last month revealed it would lay off the 29 workers at its Portland plant on June 17.
SoloPower collected $10 million in Oregon's Business Energy Tax Credits and a $10 million Energy Department loan. Portland had guaranteed half of the state's loan.
The San Jose-based company had made a splash locally in 2011 when it announced it would establish a plant in Wilsonville. It later changed its plans and announced it would move to Portland after Wilsonville residents balked over taxpayer-provided incentives the company would have received.
State officials had started preparing for the possibility that SoloPower would default on commitments related to the BETC credits.

"Two times now I have used the car park and on both occasions something on the car had been played around with. First time the driver's seat was completely readjusted which for a simply parking the car seemed very unnecessary. I have back problems and it took quite a while ti get it back in position. the second time the trip computer and functions had been messed around with and some menus changed. I dont expect anyone to play with the gadgets in a car that they are merely required to park"

The return situation on 27 June was a little less than straightforward but only because of an incident at Terminal 3 with police and fire appliances and a consequent disruption to traffic access. Overall this was the best car parking service for us so far. "
-- MR GOODDEN on Sunday 30 Jun 2013 at 22:18
"The only thing that caused a problem is, the phone number on the card you are given to give the driver has a phone number to call printed on it, this belongs to a cab firm. However the correct number is on the booking form you print off of your computer. Over than that the service was excellant."
-- MR BROWSE on Friday 21 Jun 2013 at 11:58

Good for them that they reacted promptly! it also deserves respect that they admit what happened instead of disguising it by meaningless phrases. This case however is a reminder for all of us about how easy it is to become a hacking victim and how unpleasant the consequences might be.
I wanted to thank you for this excellent read!! I certainly enjoyed every bit of it.
I have got you bookmarked to look at new things you post…
Haha! Now who's becoming a laughing stock. It makes you question, what kind of IT policy does the Onion have, or are there some staff out there who seem to lose their smarts once in a while? Honestly, it feels quite odd to read something serious about the Onion. I'm so used to their satire I could no longer think of them as professionals.
I think you're being a little harsh, Steve, though you've got some good points right there. Knowing that they're mostly online, they should have known better how to properly secure themselves. Well, we can attribute this to the human instinct to fail. We just make poor judgments sometimes. Like Cass said, though, it's a good thing they're able to detect the issue quickly.
"Education is never enough though, because you never know when a user will get impulsive, greedy, or just plain tired and not think before clicking." Whether it's a satirical site like The Onion or a regular website, this statement is true. If people are not properly educated, attacks like this can really happen. It's a good thing that The Onion reacted promptly so that further attacks were prevented (well, even if some damage had already been done!). At least, people were rightfully informed about what happened. This incident also signifies the importance of regularly educating employees and updating security measures.

Not sure where this comes from. May be from a book, may be my own, who knows anymore. I do know that we love it. Please try to use fresh oregano, I have had good results with dried but nothing beats the fresh, small leaves. It really does make a big difference. Be sure to serve with some good bread to sop up the gravy. You can use your favorite tomato sauce recipe if you wish, or, dare I say, your favorite jar. As always, the time to make it is just a guess.

Dear Family and Friends,
This October I will be running in the Marine Corps Marathon to raise money for diabetes research. As some of you know, my dad has diabetes. As all of you know, he also has a terrific sense of humor, as you can see from the picture from my law school graduation on the right.
My dad is living with and managing the disease as best he can, but he and many others struggle mightily with something that science can help us prevent, treat, and hopefully some day cure.
Please support me in my efforts to run 26.2 miles for a cause that is very personal. Every dollar counts, so please donate what you can.
Thanks so much for your support and encouragement!

Deadline is not a very popular word amongst developers. The dread of a looming deadline can frustrate and ultimately distract programmers. Every developer would love the opportunity to work on a project free of stress and deadlines. The reality is that deadlines are a core part of any successful, profitable company. Missing too many deadlines can result in frustrated customers, reduced industry confidence, or even a loss in market share. In the fast paced world of software development, every project starts with an idea and ends with a deadline. Instead of attempting to manage the stress of deadlines, it might be time to redefine them into a more palatable approach.

The world of Road Not Taken is made up of magical and natural surroundings. That makes me happy, because even though I love the bleeps and bloops you can get from synthesis, my favorite way to make sounds is from scratch like a foley artist.
How might a roguelike look like if it featured a thinker and explorer, instead of a traditional warrior? If being clever was more important than being strong? That's a design challenge we've attempted to tackle with Road Not Taken.
here is a repeated theme in our upcoming game, Road Not Taken, which we announced here back in August. The characters in our little northern town have all lived their lives according to the same plan: first you go to school, then you get a job, then you fall in love and finally you start a family.
Hi folks! It's an honor to be posting here for the first time. I'm the co-founder of a studio called Spry Fox. We've made some well-known mobile and PC games such as Steambirds, Triple Town, and Realm of the Mad God. I'm super excited to announce that our next title — an original puzzle game called Road Not Taken — will be launching on PS4 and PS Vita in early 2014! Road Not Taken is a game about life's surprises, both positive and negative. In our take on Robert Frost's poem of the same name, you wander through a mysterious forest in the aftermath of a large snowstorm.

Twenty-seven-year-old Andrew Stock is facing charges of Criminal Trespass and a firearms violation after climbing up a billboard with what turned out to be a pair of pellet guns resembling AR-15 style weapons.
The incident happened Thursday night and began around 7:30 with a report of an armed party near 9600 L Street.
The call came from a security guard working in the area. He said he had seen a man carrying a backpack that had a rifle barrel sticking out of it. The guard said the man ran across L Street from the south and jumped a barbed wire fence into the Westside Community Schools Service Center at 9437 J Street.
From there, he climbed an 80 to 100' tall, double-sided billboard and concealed himself. The billboard looks directly over L Street.
Police arrived. The saw him from a distance between the billboard signs but they say he would not come down.
Police say L Street was completely shut down from 102nd to 90th Street in the event that he began shooting.
Stock eventually responded to verbal commands from police. He came down from the billboard and was arrested.
Able-1, the police helicopter, did several flyovers to make sure no one else had been with Stock. Police retrieved the pellet guns from the scaffolding Stock had been on.
There were no injuries.

Do you eat hydrogenated fat?
- r
- Robert Lauriston May 3, 2006 11:53 PM
I started avoiding this stuff years ago because it's tasteless and leaves an icky waxy feeling in my mouth.
Now that we know it's 17 times worse for you than lard or butter ... why does anyone still eat the stuff? I don't get it.
It's on the way out the door, thank goodness. It's extremely popular in large food service operations because it is much more shelf stable than liquid oil. A bonus is that it is much easier to plunk a huge brick of hydrogenated fat into a freshly cleaned deep fryer than it is to pour in gallons of oil.
People eat it because it's present in oh-so-many processed foods. I have now gotten to reading labels more carefully, and I try to avoid it too, where possible, but I've found that it's in a lot of things where I wouldn't expect it (can't thing of a single example now, of course). I just continue reading labels...
re: LisaM
Until recently, the only way not to eat it was, basically, to never eat packaged food containing fat except meat things (and not always there.) It was certainly true of any form of baked goods including the vast majority of bakery products at any price point. (A couple of bakeries stuck to pure butter, and had to charge accordingly, but they are not the norm.) Imports don't get you off the hook, European stuff had as much as anything made in the US and in fact, from the labels I see, are a little slower in shifting over - guess they're labelling requirements are a little more recent and they haven't quite caught up.
Unless he does all his own cooking and never eats snack/junk food, I suspect Robert was eating a lot more of it than he thinks, at least until the past year or so when companies started changing formulations in anticipation of the new labelling requirement.
re: MikeG
I don't eat much packaged food or any corporate junk food, the bakeries I frequent here in the People's Republic of Berkeley use only natural ingredients, and I always ask about the fry mix.
Not that I'm a big health-food type. Throw some beef tallow in that fry mix, willya? And could I have some aioli on the side?
Not that I use it that much, but easily because vegetable shortening still has very desirable properties for certain purposes. For example, an all-lard or all-butter pie crust is going to be quite different from a pie crust cut with some shortening. You cannot deep-fry in butter, and frying in shortening results in a different (and more desirable) texture in certain deep-fried foods.
It is *very* difficult for most people to find non-hydrogenated lard. And lard (which I love) does have a distinct flavor that is not desirable in certain uses.
Butter (which I dearly love) also has its limitations.
Finally, not everyone is obsessed with finding evil in foods. Eating in moderation is a healthier perspective on things than obsesssing about evil ingredients. And the cyclical nature of evil food scares reinforces this, if anything.
Let's use an example of Public Food Enemy Number One: Fast Food French Fries.
Well, McDonalds used to partly prep their fries in tallow (the beef equivalent to lard). Then came the cholesterol scare, and they switched to hydrogenated vegetable oil. No cholesterol, but it did have transfats. And, because frying in shortening involves different temperatures and absorption rates than frying in tallow, the result was the the caloric load of the lower-cholesterol fries per uniform serving size was 1/3 HIGHER than the classic fried partly fried in tallow.
Just like the low-fat craze exposed folks to eating lots of simple carbs whose digestion was not slowed down by fats: that begat the low-carb craze.
It's just a cycle that most hounds prefer not to ride on.
re: Karl S
But there's now shortening without hydrogenated fat, and even Crisco makes a version. Just FYI.
re: Karl S
I'm not against hydrogenated fat because it's evil, except in the sense that food that doesn't taste good is evil. On which basis that nasty-tasting rapeseed ("canola") oil is also condemned to the firey pit.
I find that coconut oil works great for flaky pastry, and it actually tastes like food. Though to me an all-lard crust is superior in every way. Plus I have the fun of telling vegetarians they can't eat it.
re: Robert Lauriston
Amen to the condemnation of nasty-tasting canola oil. I've smelled used motor oil that was more appetizing than canola.
re: BlueHerons
Trans fats cross my lips whenever I get my greasy paws on a nice piece of beef.
I generally don't eat any unnatural ingredients, but that's probably easier here in Berkeley than in most parts of the USA.
re: Robert Lauriston
Most nutritionists and activists are concerned with trans fats from hydrogenated oils and not the small amounts of naturally occuring trans fats found in meat, dairy and some produce.
I eat limited quantities of naturally occuring trans fats but I don't eat hydrogenated fat.
re: Morton the Mousse
Mmmm ... some activists. That's a relatively hip group. Others, for example the CSPI, are against all sorts of natural foods as well.
re: Robert Lauriston
um, Beef doesn't have trans fat. what do you mean?
I eat very few processed or fast foods, thankfully, so I don't even have the option to consume trans fat most of the time.
HOWEVER, I have an on-again/off-again addiction to my own personal "crack": General Foods International Coffees. Pure non-dairy creamer (which is at least 50% trans fat) combined with sugar and flavoring. Its often imitated but no store brand is like the real thing.
Link: http://tenacity.net
Here's a nice, succinct statement of the issue from the Harvard School of Public Health:
"The effect and magnitude of adverse health effects of trans fatty acids are in fact far stronger on average than those of food contaminants or pesticide residues, which have in some cases received considerable attention. ... Complete or near-complete avoidance of industrially produced trans fats may be necessary to avoid adverse health effects and would be prudent to minimize risks."
re: Robert Lauriston
Several years ago, as part of the long term study of nurses, the following was reported with respect to cardiovascular risk (that I remember): the increased risk associated with a 2% increase in consumption of trans fats was same as 5% increase in saturated fats (so 2.5x as potent in causing cardiovascular problems).
I don't eat anything that lists "partially hydrogenated ____ oil" in the ingredients. I know I'm missing out on some tasty things as a result of this policy, but like any boycott, it only works if you stick to it.
re: Jefferson
Four teaspoons of old-style trans-fat margarine a day resulting in a 50% increase in heart disease seems like more than a 2.5X difference.
Though maybe that reflect partially hydrogenated fats being 100% trans fat, while natural fats are always a mix of saturated and unsaturated. For example, only about 40% of the fat in lard is saturated.
I have avoided purchasing food with hydrogenated/partially hydrogenated oils for the past few years. It seems tedious at first, but within a month or two, I was aware of what foods to not even bother looking at the labels of. You just have to retrain yourself to grocery shop. I mainly shop at your usual mega-grocery store with some trips to Trader Joe's, and I have no problems trying to find non-hydrogenated substitutes for hydrogenated items I used to buy.
I am not so crazed that I will avoid it all together, I pay no mind to it when eating out or eating at someone's home. I just prefer to eat well at home, and that includes no hydrogenated oils, no chemical additives or preservatives and no "Lab Foods" (i.e. Splenda, other fake sugars).
Being that I hardly eat the hydrogenated oils, I notice foods that contain large amounts of it leave a film on my tongue. Quite disgusting.
I won't knowingly eat industrially produced trans fats, but given my food preferences that doesn't take much effort.
One loophole to be aware of in the U.S. nutritional labeling laws: manufacturers can round a half-gram of trans fat down to zero. Nutella, for example, contains partially-hydrogenated peanut oil and an independent lab test found that over 2% of its fat content is trans fat, but Ferrero can still claim zero grams.
re: mrsjoujou
That's interesting that Whole Foods bans hydrogenated fat from their shelves, first I'd heard of that.
Mississippi Market, a Twin Cities co-op announced in Dec 05/Jan 06 that it will stop stocking products that contain added transfat.
We never eat Fast Food and very little processed food.
I do use pure natural butter and olive oil for cooking.
I do admit that I use part Crisco when making a pie crust. You just can't get that great flaky crust without it. Butter gives it taste, Crisco, texture.
I also use Crisco when I fry Chicken.
We believe in everything in moderation, so I suppose using Crisco a few timnes a month is OK.
re: Fleur
Try using lard instead of Crisco. Pie crusts are amazing, the flavor and texture of a half-butter, half-crust are unbeatable. You have to search to find lard without hydrogenation, perhaps some Hispanic groceries carry it? I render my own.
I've heard Crisco without hydrogenation is pretty good too.
re: Fleur
Coconut oil is a good substitute for Crisco.
I'm skeptical of the trans-fat free Crisco, which uses fully hydrogenated cottonseed oil (yum yum). As about.com's nutrition expert says, "It *should* be healthier than regular shortening, but at one time we were sure that regular margarine was healthier than butter ..."
I'm sure I've eaten it in certain foods/ restaurants/ things I didn't prepare. But, when I'm buying sometihng, I'll check the ingredients and so always try to avoid it.
A shout-out to my SF homie, Robert Lauriston. Excellent subject for discussion. I stopped purchasing anything that listed partially hydrogenated oil a few years ago. But here's a question for you: are manufacturers slipping transfats or other arteriy clogging ingredients to us under seemingly innocuous names? For example, palm oil - I know harvesting it is bad for the environment, but is it a bad fat? It appears to be semi-solid at room temperature. I'm wondering if anyone else is aware of stealth "bad" fats in foods that are on the supermarket shelves with misleading labels claiming, for example, "low fat", "lite" - that sort of thing. (Don't even get me started on the lack of responsibility of government and restauranteurs innot giving diners important nutritional information up front.)
re: niki rothman
Among commonly consumed ingredients, industrially produced trans fats are currently in a class by themselves as far as being bad for you. They're similar to red dye #2 or saccharin, synthetic ingredients that were presumed safe for human consumption but turned out not to be. Walter Willett, chair of Harvard's Department of Nutrition, has called for the FDA to remove partially hydrogenated fats from its Generally Regarded as Safe list, which would amount to a flat ban.
Natural palm oil and coconut oil are definitely preferable to partially hydrogenated fats. They're chemically distinguishable from animal fat, and there's some evidence that they may be more heart-healthy. For example, Thais use lots of coconut oil and don't have a big problem with heart disease.
Naturally occurring trans fats are an open question but as you can see from the Harvard School of Public Health's phrasing they don't lump them in with the industrially-produced kind.
re: Robert Lauriston
Thais are small thin slight people who don't have much heart disease because they have that body type and have low calorie intake in general. I've definitely read that coconut oil is NOT healthy for we chubby, high stress Americans.
re: niki rothman
Yes, coconut oil was getting bad press for years, on the assumption that all saturated fats were equally bad. Some recent research suggests that that may have been as wrong as the notion that partially hydrogenated vegetable oil was healthier than butter or lard. It's an open question and most of the research has been funded by groups with a vested interest.
The current consensus among nutritionists is that a healthy diet includes a significant percentage of its calories from healthy fats such as those in olive oil, nuts, fish, and avocados.
If you want to be conservative, it's premature to put coconut oil on the list of healthy fats. On the other hand, if you want flaky pie crust, coconut oil is a better choice than partially hydrogenated vegetable shortening.
re: Robert Lauriston
I've read recently that animal based saturated fats like lard lose about 60 percent of their saturatedness when digested in the human gut. So they are not as harmful as previously thought. The only place tho' where lard is indispensible, to me, is in certain Latino foods, like refritos or tamales. My trade-mark pie crust is a shortbread one. So delicious, but not flaky - more a butter cookie texture.
re: Robert Lauriston
The most solid evidence for the relation between eating saturated fat and getting heart disease is based on large cohort studies, in which researchers gathered lots of information about people's habits (diet, exercise, etc.) and health (who got or died from heart disease, cancer, and so on).
For example, the Women's Health Initiative found that women who ate 4 teaspoons of margarine daily were 50% more likely to get heart disease than those women who rarely ate it.
No deeper understanding of what happens to fat in the body will change such statistical correlations.
re: niki rothman
I wouldn't worry about consuming too much coconut oil. There just isn't that much you would want to use it for. If you have to choose between shortening, coconut oil, and lard to make a pie crust, you would do better with the two natural choices than the one that's manufactured to be firm. Some people prefer butter to any of the above, but the high water content of butter makes it difficult to substitute effectively.
If you are interested in doing more reading about coconut oil, there's plenty out there. As you may know, "saturated fat" is an umbrella term for a range of fatty acids. Different foods have different compositions, so lard and coconut oil and cocoa butter are all quite different. A lot of people believe that certain fatty acids in coconut oil, commonly called "medium chain triglycerides," are a great energy food because they are metabolized more like carbohydrates than other fatty acids. This could just be hype to sell MCT supplements, but maybe not.
Certainly there is no reason to intentionally substitute solid fats where liquid fats will do. A current article compares meals made with coconut oil versus safflower oil and finds that the HDL "good cholesterol" that scavenges your arteries for stuff that needs to be cleaned up is less effective after the coconut fat meal than the safflower oil meal. (http://content.onlinejacc.org/cgi/con...) But ya can't make a pie crust with safflower oil!
re: Jefferson
That study's comparing natural coconut and safflower oils? The abstract doesn't say.
re: Jefferson
Robert (the direct reply link is missing this morning for some reason), I'm going to try to get a copy of the article and see exactly what they tried. The results may have been reported selectively. What I realized after posting is that the science has changed a lot in the 10 years since I paid attention. Back then, it was exciting to see HDL differentiated from total cholesterol. Now they are studying and comparing the levels of three different variants of HDL, which I suspect is what they are saying here (e.g., HDL-3 up, HDL-2 down, or vice versa). But the precise operation of all the different systems that affect atherosclerosis, which is the only reason anyone cares about HDL, still don't seem to be well understood. So this study might be irrelevant to real life. Perhaps we will find out within our lifetimes. Either way, I'll eat young coconut on a hot day whenever I can. I have no appetite for safflowers. ;-)
re: Jefferson
If the study was done ten years ago, it might have been partially hydrogenated coconut oil!
What the coconut-exporting countries have seized on is the distinction between medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids (MCFA and LCFA).
(The "reply to the comment above" link disappears after you hit the fifth level of nesting.)
re: Jefferson
Maybe I should just cut to the chase with Jefferson and Robert, who seem to be very well informed.
OK boys, If I want to be most careful about the fats with which I cook, what should I do? I'm not a fanatic and taste means a lot to me. As you know, I cook a couple of meals a day from scratch. I bake too. Today I made banana bread with Smart Balance Margarine and Plugra unsalted butter 1:1. This margarine, according to my understanding is the most healthy of all margarines. It is made from palm, flax seed, canola and olive oils, lecithin, but also TBHQ and EDTA. It has a high smoke point and tastes delicious. When you add it to butter you can saute' at a higher temp without burning the butter. I had been using canola oil for frying but Ruth Laffler told me there were some health concerns about it breaking down at high temps, as in carcinogenic. Now I fry with grapeseed oil on the strength of her rec. Where the taste of evoo is helpful in cooking, I use it. Where the taste of butter really makes a difference - I do use it. My husband with the cholesterol controlled by medication and weight problem gets the Smartbeat in skimpy amounts
on vegetbles and toast. Often, where he won't notice, I will even cook eggs and such with olive oil. I, with no current health problems that might be improved with less butter, eat all the butter I want. Heh.
What are your opinions of the fats I'm using? Could I be doing better without sacrificing much flavor? Anything really harmful about my choices?
re: Jefferson
I use mostly olive oil in cooking but that's a taste preference. We have butter, duck fat, goose fat, bacon, and half a dozen nut oils in the fridge.
Outside of never eating industrial trans fats, the only things I do for health are excercise and avoid red meat and dairy a few days a week. If I drank less, I might be more concerned about a heart-healthy diet.
re: Jefferson
Hi Niki. I hardly cook, so I don't keep too much oil around. I mostly use "evoo" for everything (though not an expensive grade) with butter for where only butter will do.
Generally speaking, high-monounsatured oils like olive are the most "neutral" when they get into your body, so you don't have to worry so much about fat balance. If you use a lot of high-polyunsaturated oils, then you might want to think about adding fish, fish oil, flax, etc., to "balance" your fats a bit. (The omega-6/omega-3 thing.)
Incidentally, I noticed one of those smart margarines in my mother's fridge, hardly used in 6 months, while she has gone through 3 sticks of butter. Someone convince me she's wrong. ;-)
When my parents were newly-weds (1942), my father informed my mother that he would never eat anything with margarine in it. This stuff never appeared in our kitchen, and I clearly remember my father grumbling in disbelief whenever some new study came out touting the benefits of margarine over butter. What a great b.s. meter my dad had!
re: pikawicca
World War II did a lot both for and against margarine. Rationing meant more folks had to use margarine (which, after all, was invented by the French during their problems circa 1870, but was more popular in the US for meeting kosher requirements); some people got used to it and kept to it (my mother used Nucoa regularly and saved butter for baking and company), while others confirmed their hatred for it.
re: katiepie
there is another company that makes the exact same thing with natural products. it's sold at the organic/natural market where i work. I think the brand is Rapunzel - a German company. I'm not sure if that's the right brand though. I'll double check the next time i'm at the market. it's more expensive but it tastes the same and is natural - possibly even Fair Trade.
re: katiepie
European Nutella is trans-fat-free.
If I can avoid it no, occasionally I buy something perpared and I cannot control that but in home cooking I use lard butter adn cold pressed vegetable oils.
I was in check out today at a local grocery and was actually kind of horrified but the woman behind me and her grocery load. Beside the frozen veg she was buying and the skin milk everything she put on the belt was prepared. I was shuddering thinking not only of the trans fats but the amount of sugar she was feeding her family.
there is no reason to cook with trans fats yourself unless you are a vegan & need to bake. . . don't go to regular grocery stores much but the last time i did i saw a lady getting a whole cartful of stouffer's dinners thant was ALL she had, no t.p. even-- my jaw dropped and i was afraid she'd see me staring so i didn't see if they were all the same kind or not.
re: soupkitten
Even if you're vegan, you don't need to use trans fats. I bake for people who are vegan and have never needed it.
re: chowser
no you don't need them. i agree with you-- i am just saying that vegans are the only ones who have a glimmer of an excuse for ever using trans fats
re: soupkitten
a company called Spectrum makes a shortening that is non-hydrogenated
re: choctastic
Some of their crusts do, some don't:
re: Robert Lauriston
Oh no--I'm usually really good about checking but it never occured to me that pizza dough would have it.:-( I should have realized, though.
I think they should have a big red T on any product that has it (any amount, not the rounded down to zero amount that they're allowed to claim). I tried explaining to my mom how to find it on the label but she can't read all the fine print.
i read labels religiously and if i see partially hydrogenated oils i put the product back. My recent problem has been giving up Reese's peanut butter cups. That is, until I discovered Trader Joe's PBC. They're even better than the reeses!! Except that you can only get them in big packages and when i got the mini ones i ate the whole thing in 2 days.
I try to check, but I don't ask at bakeries etc. Of course, I also hardly ever get stuff from bakeries.
At home I use EarthBalance margarine, similar to smart balance. i find it cooks and bakes well and tastes great! They have a shortening I would try if I was going to make a pie crust anytime soon.
re: annimal
Paul Newman has good pb cups, too.
re: annimal
Reese's peanut butter cups don't contain hydrogenated oils.
Here are the ingredients:
Milk Chocolate , Sugar , Cocoa Butter , Chocolate , Nonfat Milk , Milk Fat , Lactose , Soy Lecithin Emulsifier , PGPR Emulsifier , Peanuts , Sugar , Dextrose , Salt , TBHQ Preservative
Not bad as far as mass-produced candy goes.
Not if I can avoid it and would not have it in my home. We use butter, veg oils and farm produced lard.
I haven't heard any mention cottonsed oil which is not considered a healthy oil but frequently shows up in all kinds of foods--the chili paste/sauce on the table at Chinese restaurants and potato chips (Lays), for example. I very aware of and concerned about trans fats and I avoid them--but the chili paste is something I do consume when eating Chinese food. Is this ill advised?
re: leoj
The main health concern about cottonseed oil is the heavy use of pesticides on cotton crops.
Other than that it's perfectly healthy in reasonable quantities and like any natural vegetable oil lower in saturated fat than lard or butter. You wouldn't want to get most of your fat calories from it as it's relatively low in monounsaturated fat compared with e.g. olive oil.

Coconino County officials know it's not a matter of if but when severe flooding and mudslides will occur within Oak Creek Canyon.
On Thursday, July 3, representatives from the sheriff's department, emergency management and public works met with the Sedona Red Rock News to discuss how the county is preparing for flooding in the canyon now that the monsoon is here. What's making things worse is that due to the Slide Fire, much of the vegetation is gone and the result of a heavy rain will be mudslides and debris entering the creek as well as yards and businesses along the way.
"We can't prevent flash flooding — all we can do is be as ready for it as possible," Emergency Management Director Robert Rowley said. "We also want to make sure the public is prepared and informed. We know that for a lot of the residents and businesses owners in the canyon by having the fire followed by the monsoon season, this has been a real one-two punch for them."
To read the full story, see the Wednesday, July 9, edition of the Sedona Red Rock News.

CHINCOTEAGUE TO ASSATEAGUE CRUISES & KAYAK TOURS with ASSATEAGUE EXPLORER
An adventure from Chincoteague to visit Assateague's amazing inner coastline.
Assateague Explorer cruises & kayaking depart at: The Assateague Nature Centre
7512 East Side Rd., Chincoteague Island, Virginia. Get directions at:
(Note: This is NOT our mailing address.)
* Look for the signs that say "Assateague Nature Centre" & "Assateague Explorer," so you know you are at the right place. Free waterfront parking.
To get here: Take Rt.175 East to Chincoteague Island. After going over the last bridge onto Chincoteague, turn right at light on Main Street. Drive 0.3 mile and turn left on Church Street (by gas station, later it becomes East Side Rd). Drive about 2 miles, Assateague Explorer sign, red building & dock is on your left. Arrive approx. 20 min. before your scheduled departure time and shop at our waterfront (red) gift store "visitor check-in" building. Free waterfront parking by red building.
Be sure to make a reservation online or by phone.
Chincoteague Island, Virginia is where we are located. We are right next to the beautiful southern half of Assateague Island. Chincoteague is only about 1 hour south of Ocean City, Maryland and about 2 hours north of Virginia Beach. Chincoteague is a scenic town with lodging, restaurants, shops and various attractions. Chincoteague is only 20 minutes south of the MD/VA state line on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
We leave from the best location on Chincoteague, across from the Assateague Lighthouse, with a great view of Assateague and the best access to areas where the wild ponies live. We are close to Assateague. Our location provides the best access for our tour boat to explore the Northern area of Assateague here in Virginia, where the "Northern Herd" of wild ponies live. Several "bands" (family groups of ponies) live along this remote pristine coastline of Assateague. So if the "Southern Herd" of ponies is not out, we can look for the ponies in the "Northern Herd". We enjoy spending our entire time along Assateague.
Our location is close, sheltered and therefore the safest place to leave from and return to. We are located close to and directly behind the barrier island of Assateague which provides shelter. We are not forced to navigate through rough waters at the southern end of Chincoteague or sail from the other side of the island to get here where we want to be in the first place. We are so close to Assateague that we can often spot some herds of ponies from our dock before we even depart. Our scenic dock is also a great location for our kayakers to leave from.
We look forward to helping you explore these great parts of Assateague where the wild ponies roam and other wildlife can be found. Journey into unspoiled areas, see Assateague's sights, take photos and make new friends as you discover this amazing area. Get ready for an awesome Virginia vacation.
View our photos of Assateague, the famous Chincoteague wild ponies, wildlife & scenery.
View videos of our cruises & kayak tours along Assateague & Chincoteague.
Explore and experience that feeling of discovery, where your outdoor adventure begins.
Assateague Explorer recently featured twice on the ABC Good Morning America Show.

Nice you just failed for making a guess for not having all the info.
Why not wait and get the full details before posting what to check, you could have made this kid buy a bunch of parts he didn't need to try and solve the problem. Think before you act. So your going off what is most common because the other reasons never happen since all cars are the same correct. Wait till you get the full details before you start blabbing off.
So basically since you had the same code and it was from a vacuum leak then it must be a leak right? You are aware a bad maf, O2 sensor, ignition misfire, fuel injector problem can also throw that code, but of course you didn't say anything about that. Why because yours wasn't bad.

10 Signs You Might Be A Rubbish Lesbian
I sucked at being a lesbian so much that a straight friend gave me the affectionate nickname, "Rubbish Lesbian," rubbish being a Brit shorthand for useless. Why? Well, for the first 30 years of my life everyone thought I was straight, myself included. It took me longer to come out than Sonja Morgan's toaster oven, and when I finally did I was completely of my depth. I felt awkward chatting women up and coming out in public. I didn't have the lesbian references down and my gaydar was appalling. But mostly I didn't really conform to the tired old lesbian stereotypes. I think there's a Rubbish Lesbian in all of us. So test yourself. Here are 10 signs you too could be a Rubbish Lesbian.
"The Rubbish Lesbian" author Sarah Westwood
Photo by Lucy Pope
1. Your gaydar doesn't work
You might think that because you're a lesbian you'd be able to spot another lesbian a mile off, even at night, in dense fog, by the light of a guttering candle, right? Wrong. Turns out some of us are utterly clueless when it comes to picking up gay vibes. I don't know about you, but I was genuinely surprised when Ellen came out. My gaydar is more of a no-way-dar. So, if you had no idea that the barista who held your gaze and your muffin a few seconds longer than necessary this morning was signaling her interest, then you may be a rubbish lesbian.
2. Nobody knows you're a lesbian
If you're a Rubbish Lesbian, not only is your own gaydar entirely unreliable, you seem to slip under everyone else's, too. Even when browsing the Sarah Waters section at your local queer bookstore, dressed in your slouchiest "boyfriend" jeans and sipping a soya Starbucks with the name Sappho scrawled on the cup, most people, fellow lesbians included, think you're a bona fide hetero.
3. You can't say the L word
Remember that time your local bodega guy started flirting with you as you picked over his zucchini and rather than tell him you're gay you started walking the extra two blocks to the one where they don't even have zucchini? In the UK, that's called "bottling it." Similarly, if you've ever backed yourself into a conversational corner at work and referred to your always absent "partner" as "they," the art of the casual come out is probably something you have yet to master. Join the choke club.
4. You think Calzona is a tasty folded pizza
Rubbish Lesbians generally don't get the latest trendy lesbian pop culture references. In my impoverished, outdated mind, Arizona's the Grand Canyon state, not a hot blonde surgeon on Grey's Anatomy and Tibette is where the Dalai Lama lives. Really adept lesbians can tell Tegan and Sara apart, even in a blurry photo taken from the back row of a 20,000 seat venue. Rubbish Lesbians can't even tell they're a lesbian pop duo.
5. You don't own a single white tank top
I used to think that there were only two types of lesbian: those that rocked the white tank top, and me, the biceptually challenged RubbishLesbian. I guess it's not all that surprising since the only kind of dips I like to do come with Doritos. If you don't own a single white tank top, let alone a hundred variations thereof, go to the back of the class.
6. You're not on the scene
When I first came out the lesbian scene intimidated me. Straight friends assumed I'd be out clubbing every night of the week, doing shots off the toned abs of bar staff. Actually, I was at home wrapped in my Slanket singing along with Liz Lemon to "night cheese." At this rate by the time I summon up the courage to go to Dinah Shore, the cast of Pretty Little Liars will be starring in a Golden Girls remake.
7. You're not "sporty"
Many people think that lesbians and sport go together like cat videos and YouTube. We do bat for the other team after all ladies. At school I was always the last one to be picked when the teams was chosen, and I never once made beyond second base. If the only thing you've ever scored on the playing field at school was a can of Bud welcome to the club.
8. You don't own a tool belt
Okay I'm just going to come out with it. I'm just not comfortable with a tool in my hand. When God was handing out practical life skills to other lesbians, I was at the back of the queue. I only joined the queue because I mistook it for the Gap sample sale. In short, if you think WD40 is R2-D2's lesser-known cousin, or stopcock is a brand of chastity belt, probably safe to assume you're a rubbish lesbian.
9. You don't have ink
In Australia, they're known as "tough stickers" and in lesbian circles they're fairly ubiquitous. What do you mean you haven't been on the waiting list for the last twelve years to get Kat Von D to ink a life-like portrait of your first cat Mr. Tibbles snuggling up to Portia de Rossi on a cloud across your back?
10. You don't have "lesbian hair"
There must have been a mix up somewhere along the line, because I seem to have a straight persons hair. Right now that straight woman is walking around Costco sporting an asymmetrical quiff with my name on it. I did get a "lesbian" haircut once by accident. I went for a little $6 trim at a blokes barber and ended up looking like GI Jane without the muscles, more "low GI" Jane.
Sarah Westwood writes "The Rubbish Lesbian" column for DIVA magazine in which she explores topics such as sharing a bed with a straight work colleague, a slippery grasp of boob etiquette, and accidently inferring that her girlfriend was slutty, to her parents. The Rubbish Lesbian eBook is now available on Kindle.

In response to hedleylamarr's comment:
In response to CablesWyndBairn's comment:
I'm sorry, but anyone not slated to be part of the core in 2-3 years should be traded. Bass and KH are guys you acquire when you have a nice nucleus in place, you know, when you're a legitimate playoff team. I don't want this team in the playoffs unless it's a team that can win a series or two and be a legit threat for the ECF. Until that time, I'd rather Danny compile as many assest as he can even if it means signing D-leaguers and trading decent vets for draft picks and for guys on expiring deals.
[/QUOTE] That is the exact reason some teams are interested Bass, Hump, Bradley, Green, and Sully.

How is Heroin Made?
People are curious and ask, "How is heroin made?" when they see the drug affecting them or those around them. "Heroin," though, is actually a brand name for diacetylmorphine. The drug company Bayer synthesized diacetylmorphine in 1895 and branded it "Heroin." Heroin made a claim to be a non-addictive replacement for morphine. Now, however, heroin is the common name for the drug diacetylmorphine and it's clear the claims Bayer made about heroin being non-addictive were false. (See History of Heroin)
How is Heroin Made? - Where Does Heroin Come From?
Heroin is an opiate, stemming from the term opium, indicating heroin is made from the opium poppy. However, heroin is a semi-synthetic opiate as heroin is made not directly from the poppy, but from morphine. Morphine comes from the opium poppy directly.
Opium and morphine, from which heroin is made, come from a variety of sources:1
- Afghanistan -leading illegal opium and heroin exporter producing up to 82% of the world's supply
- Pakistan, Southeast Asia, South America - other illegal sources
- Tasmania, Australia, France, Japan, the United Kingdom - sources of legal opium and heroin
How is Heroin Made? - What is Heroin Made Of?
Heroin is made by first growing the opium poppy. Once the poppy is ripening, its pod is scored allowing a white, milky, latex to come out.2 This latex dries into a sticky, jelly-like resin. Typically this raw opium is made into morphine close to the source as morphine pressed into bricks and dried in the sun is much easier to handle and smuggle.
It is from morphine that heroin is made. Morphine is made into heroin with a chemical reaction containing the chemical compound acetic anhydride. The heroin is then purified using chemical or mechanical means.
How is Heroin Made? - What is Synthetic Heroin?
As heroin is made from opium which is made from the actual opium poppy, heroin is known as a semi-synthetic opiate. Synthetic heroin is not really heroin at all; synthetic heroin is actually one of several synthetic opiates. Synthetic opiates are called such because they are completely man-made and contain no opium. Synthetic opiates are often called synthetic heroin due to the similarity of their effects.
Synthetic opiates that are sometimes called synthetic heroin include:
- Fentanyl
- Methadone
- Tramadol
- Pethidine

We donŌĆÖt always take the time to appreciate the gifts of nature. There are so many people in the world affected by the change in seasons. Scientists have proven that living without sunlight for any length of time can produce profound disorders, such as Seasonal Affective Disorder, a contributing factor in depression.
Weather appears to have changed dramatically in the last few years. Why? There are numerous thoughts and ideas but nothing substantial is known for certain. We can no longer depend on the weather to be fairly predictable.
NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Edward L. ŌĆ£TedŌĆØ Hughes has seen a lot of sunrises and sunsets during his many years as a recreational fisherman and boating enthusiast.
ŌĆ£My whole life has been spent on the water,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£I started at eight or nine and was fishing at 12; I began boating in my early teens and got my captainŌĆÖs license in the late ŌĆś80s.ŌĆØ
After months of back-and-forth debate on the 2012 budget for the NK School Department, voters will take to the polls this Tuesday to approve or deny a petition to increase funding for the department by $500,000.
This week, we tell you everything you need to know about the referendum. What cuts have been made? What cuts are still on the table? How will the department use the money?
A local college student is out to change the world and judging by his collegiate accomplishments thus far, heŌĆÖs off to a great start.
Scott Andrews, 21 years old and a junior at University of Rhode Island, believes an individual can combine political ideals and take action to transform their communities at the same time.
ItŌĆÖs because of this belief that Andrews was recently chosen by the Campus Compact as one of 135 men-of-action for its first group of Newman Civic Fellows who come from 30 states.
JAMESTOWN ŌĆō In his Navy service, former Wickford Middle School Principal Martin Hellewell (a 1954 graduate of WMS)ŌĆöwho retired as a captainŌĆölogged 30 years, 10 on active duty and 20 in the Reserves.
At 74, he says he was involved in Cold War activities ŌĆ£big timeŌĆØ, starting after his 1960 graduation from Officers Candidate School. ŌĆ£I went as an engineer officer on a patrol craft escort based out of Chicago.
EXETER ŌĆō Even now, 44 years after he patrolled the jungles of Vietnam ŌĆō a place that steamed in the daytime, becoming, cold and wet at night ŌĆō Ken Fernstrom remembers the daily quest to survive.
ŌĆ£I think about it on a daily basis,ŌĆØ he says. ŌĆ£Everything is still crystal clear.ŌĆØ
Fernstrom, who served 18 years on the Town Council (he thinks that's a record for length of tenure on Exeter's governing body), was 18 in 1967 when he enlisted in the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Infantry.
NORTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Ted Johnson, 78, spent exactly three years, three months and three days in the Navy on a heavy cruiser out of Norfolk, Va. The USS Newport News CA-148 was the flagship of the 6th Fleet.
