Today is National Chili Day! Whether you prefer it Texas-style,
Mexican-style, or vegetarian, chili served with a side of cornbread is a
fabulous comfort food for the winter season.
Despite popular belief, chili does not come from Mexico. The recipe
has certainly been influenced by Mexican culture, but it also
incorporates elements from Native American and Spanish culinary
traditions. Many historians believe chili originated in Texas where all
three of these cultures intersected.
According to legend, Spanish priests called the first chili "the soup
of the Devil" because they believed that chili peppers were an
aphrodisiac. To celebrate National Chili Day, indulge in a delicious
bowl of this historical spicy stew!
I love chili.
not much better than a great bowl of chili

Buffalo RiverWorks
About the New Location on Ganson Street:
The new site, located at 333 Ganson Street in Buffalo, is situated on the historic site of the former GLF grain facility. Construction has already begun on two refrigerated ice pads which will house the rinks. Rink One will measure 85x185 sq. ft., with Rink Two measuring 85x170 sq. feet. Each rink can accommodate three pond hockey-sized rectangular ice rinks. Because the rinks are refrigerated, hockey play is a safe bet for temperatures approximately 50 degrees F and below. A patio and concession area for spectators also are expected to be completed by the start of the Labatt Blue Buffalo Pond Hockey Tournament in February 2014. The site also boasts ample parking for players and fans.
The Good Old Days
Start a travel team, and have your mom drive you!
Reminder: All players & fans must have valid IDs to show proof of age in order to be served during the events.

Poaceae (Gramineae)
Ornamental grasses and grasslike plants
A large, coarse grass native to tropical India. Erect growth to 8 ft. tall and 2–4 ft. wide, forming a dense cluster of stiff, narrow leaves, often bent at a point 1–2 ft. below the tips. Seldom flowers. Foliage is light green and takes on attractive bronze tints in cold weather.

It goes without saying that keeping one's computer functioning at its best requires not only constant work, but also a certain amount of PC skills, yet there are some dedicated applications that can help even novices optimize the speed of their machine. Wise Care 365 PRO is an example of such software, designed to perform thorough cleaning and overall performance boosting with little effort on the user's side.
Wise Care 365 PRO comes with a user-friendly graphical interface which can be personalized by changing the theme according to the user's liking - further customization is possible as the displayed username and avatar can be replaced with new ones.
The first step into optimizing a computer is to scan its current status, so that Wise Care 365 PRO can evaluate which areas leave room for improvement. The scanning process focuses on the most important areas of a PC, such as detecting privacy risks, identifying useless files, locating invalid registry entries or finding traces left by third-party apps.
Once the scanning is complete, a detailed list with the results is shown, so that users can analyze it and choose which errors should be automatically fixed or which ones need to be processed manually.
Moreover, experts can also access the other tabs of Wise Care 365 PRO to explore other aspects of the PC that could slow it down on a regular basis; as such, the app can perform in-depth registry cleanup or system defragmentation, along with erasing Windows files no longer needed.
In addition, users can simply press a button to erase the history of visited webpages, accessed files, watched movies or viewed photos, thus protecting their privacy. They can also rely on the integrated file shredder to securely and permanently delete confidential data, while the password generator can help them come up with strong keys for their online accounts.
To sum it up, Wise Care 365 PRO is more than a typical junk file remover or a registry booster. It can clean the Windows context menu and tweak the startup items, all in the attempt to make the most of a computer regarding its performance.

Make Up Artist: Education Requirements & Career Summary
Those seeking formal training in the application of make up and related cosmetics may wish to enroll in a cosmetology program. Theater degree programs also typically include stage make up courses. Make up artists may work in a variety of entertainment or personal beauty service careers.
Educational Requirements for Make Up Artists
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that most beauty professionals complete formal training through programs that require at least a high school diploma or its equivalent for admission. Some states may require cosmetologists and make up artists to have a state license, especially when they also work with hair. Licensing requirements vary for each state.
Cosmetology Program
Make up artists can receive professional training through a cosmetology associate's degree program offered at a community college. Cosmetology students learn a broad range of beauty services including make up application, hair cutting and styling, skin care treatments and nail care. Students also learn state regulations, sanitation, bacteriology and business skills. More concise programs, without general education stipulation, are prominently available through privately owned beauty schools.
Theater Degree
Those who aspire to work as make up artists for film and theater can earn a bachelor's degree in theater. Many of these programs incorporate make up into the curriculum, and some offer concentrations in make up. Students learn basic make up application, special effects (like wounds and aging) and corrective make up. Students may put their knowledge to the test during school productions.
Career Overview
Job Description
Make up artists start out by discussing and planning the clients' desired end result. They may directly apply make up to models and actors or work with a team who helps implement the look. In some cases, the talent may be taught to apply some of the product on their own face and body as well.
Make up artists analyze the skin to figure what type it is and to study the face's natural curves and shape. They prep the skin for make up application by cleansing and moisturizing to prevent any adverse reactions. Using various cosmetic substances like powders, creams, gloss and lipstick, make up artists create the client's preferred results.
For clients who are actors, make up artists use make up to transform them into a different character. Make up is used to age someone, make them a different race, create mock-up wounds and create other special effects. Wigs, false eyelashes and prosthetics are also used by make up artists. Theatrical make up artists sometimes research time periods and settings, read scripts and consult with directors to ensure the make up is appropriate for the character.
Performance-related make up artist jobs are expected to grow only 3% between 2010 and 2020 according to the BLS. Cosmetologist, hairdresser and hairstylist jobs are expected to increase 16% between 2010 and 2020, due partly to the need to replace those who leave the occupation, reported the BLS. The source notes that candidates may have to compete for the highest-paying positions.
In May 2012, theatrical and performance make up artists brought home an annual mean income of $67,580, stated the BLS. The same source revealed that cosmetologists earned an annual mean income of $26,790 as of May 2012.

Cycling ace Lance Armstrong brought Dublin's rush hour traffic to a halt today as more than 1,000 Irish cyclists - some still dressed in their corporate suits - joined the seven-times Tour de France winner for the impromptu ride announced on Twitter.
Armstrong, who threw down the gauntlet to New York, said: 'I don't think anyone can top Dublin now after this. NYC, what you got? London? Amsterdam? LA? Paris?"
"Thanks Dublin!! What a great park and a cool ride w/ all of you. I heard a 1000+ came out. I'm speechless. Gotta love a good bike ride!!"
Fans mobbed the cycling champion as they tried to book their place in history while the gardai (Irish police) tried to keep the starstruck traffic moving.
Fans rode everything from rickshaws to tricycles as the carnival of cycles made its way through Phoenix Park - which is also Europe's biggest urban park.
Speaking after the mass cycle, Armstrong said: "For me, I like to ride my bike anyway, so on a very simple level it's a very sunny, beautiful day in Dublin and I'd be going for a bike ride anyway.
"The story is, it's a great city and it's a great park. It's a great evening to go out - it's really sunny, but it wasn't just about the cycling here."
Armstrong stayed in Ireland after the Tour finished for a cancer conference hosted by his foundation LiveStrong.
Just last week, more than 300 people joined him on a ride in Paisley,
, when he sent a similar tweet.
But the Dublin Twitter ride was the biggest yet.
The cyclists were responding to today's tweet read: "Good morning Dublin. Who wants to ride this afternoon? I do. 5:30 pm @ the roundabout of Fountain Rd and Chesterfield Ave. See you there.."
Armstrong returned to competitive cycling this year after retiring in 2005. Since he was 25, he has undergone several treatments for cancer and is hailed by many for his good humor and encouragement for other cancer sufferers.

Hey you with the dreams in your head
You've been so mistead by your heart's pull
I know your waiting for your ship to come in
You anxiously wait for such a long time

Hey you with your eyes full of hope
You think you can rope your desire
Hey you, you naive thing
Your patience in time will tire
I know you're waiting for your ide to roll in
How did you ever get such high hopes?

I know that the current talent trees are not final, but I am having difficulty determining the "best" arms dps build. As they stand now [7/29/10], I believe the current builds could be one of the following.
[for extra AP based on armor value]
The problem as I see it is sweeping strikes. I know for multiple mob fight, this is a huge dps boost, but I have not heard nor read anything about those style boss fights. Otherwise, I'm leaning towards leaving it out.
Battle trance seems too OP to leave out, but perhaps I am misreading it's intention.
Any thoughts regarding these builds? I know they are likely to change, but I would like a starting point.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar has withdrawn from his upcoming title defense against Shane Carwin because of an illness.
Lesnar was scheduled to fight Carwin in the main event of UFC 106 on Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The former professional wrestler and college wrestling champion said Monday he's been out of training for nearly a month while battling the unspecified illness.
Lesnar is the mixed martial arts league's top pay-per-view draw after his lucrative title defense against Frank Mir in UFC 100.
Tito Ortiz's return to UFC against former champion Forrest Griffin will become the main event at UFC 106.
UFC hopes to reschedule Lesnar's fight against the unbeaten Carwin for early next year.

Good article.The culture war isn't religious versus secular. It's a clash of two faiths.Exactly right. When the Left talks about "religion", they never apply it to themselves; they never view their Atheism or secularism as a religion, although it is -- there are, as the writer notes, "sacraments" such as birth control pills and abortion.With as much religious fervor as any Christian, the Left cling to their pills and their abortions.

It is a good article but I would peg the riter´s age as around 30. When I was that old I was a libertarian who believed both sides could be persuaded by reasonable argument.Almost 30 years later I now know which side is impervious to reason.

Anything a Conservative holds of value whether material or belief system the Left feels they have the RIGHT to take it and destroy it. They will not be satisfied no matter what. Their Faith system is destroying the country and for the folks who think Social issues should be out of politics you need to know there will be a day when something you individually cherish some leftist will take it and with a smile on their face smash it to pieces. You have one hope "Draw a line in the sand and say I´m not backing up anymore." The NRA does this well.Its all about atheist and the hate thing.

There is no indication that the left wants peace on any issue. They want EVERYTHING to be their way to the extent that they will ram it down opponents throats if possible. Failing that they will harass and threaten people to achieve their goals, even electing Socialists and Communists to do their dirty work. The goals of the left are largely un-American; there is no equivalency between the left and the right.... and the right in this country needs to understand that fact.

Conservatives always lose in these struggles because we don´t "Do" force.The whole idea of free men and free markets is about ´no force´, only voluntary cooperative agreement.It´s a nightmare world when we always get snookered by the totalitarian criminals who pose as lovers of peace while we honest proponents of peaceful cooperation are smeared with the label of reactionary war-mongers and cruel industrialists.This must be purgatory.

Big Business will love Mr. Carney´s idea. We settle the culture war by getting rid of everybody´s employer provided health care.Great. Brilliant.That´s why Big Business has sided with Obama all along.So . . .instead of standing for freedom, we open the public up to yet more exposure to the siren call of single payer healthcare.The Christians will be discriminated against in a single payer system, just as Obama is attempting to discriminate against them now.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Philadelphia Eagles have selected LSU defensive tackle Bennie Logan in the third round of the NFL draft.
Logan, 6-foot-2 and 309 pounds, was chosen Friday night with the 67th overall pick. Logan had two sacks, forced two fumbles and made 45 tackles last year.
The Eagles chose Stanford tight end Zach Ertz in the second round at No. 35 and Oklahoma offensive tackle Lane Johnson at No. 4 overall in the first round.
Logan is considered a strong rusher with good upper-body strength.

Let me tell you about my day
Then this afternoon another blog reader called me and told me about a speaker who was talking at a church nearby about his journey of grief. She thought it would be very beneficial to us. So when robb came home from work and we sat down for dinner we discussed it and we agreed to check it out. Before we left for the seminar while robb was cleaning up the kitchen (bless him!) I felt led to write to Kathy and her husband who recently lost their daughter Grace in a tragic event. They have been heavy on my heart since I first heard of their loss. I dont know Kathy well (although she did help us plan our honeymoon) but I do know her heart and how it aches for her daughter, so I wrote her a letter and emailed it to my husband so he could print it off when he gets to work tomorrow. I finished it up just as we were ready to leave.
As we drove to the church I told robb about the letter and we talked about Kathy and Brian the whole way there. I remember he said something like "God is using you to help other people through similar struggles" I dont know if that is true but I just felt like I needed to do something for them.
Once we arrived we sat down in a pew and I scanned the room and you wouldnt believe who I spotted....Kathy and her husband. I thought for a moment about what to do, should I introduce myself, should i say something, will she remember me? It didnt take long for me to remember what I would want someone to do to me. As I walked over to her and her husband I practiced in my head what I was going to say, but once my eyes met hers my plan went out the window, she recognized me too and reads my blog as well and our mommy hearts connected as we hugged each other. I can feel God moving in my life. He has not forgotten me and knows the longings of my heart. He has proven that in ways I never thought possible today.
11 comments:
His ways are above our ways, His thoughts above our thoughts. God delights in meeting our needs in ways we never humanly thought possible. May your faith continue to grow as He shows himself faithful.
It was great to see you and Robb at the meeting tonight.
- August 25, 2008 at 11:31 PM
I'm so glad that you can feel the Holy Spirit working in your life. He's the one that gave you the strength to write that letter and the urge to go to that meeting and the nudge to speak and comfort as you have been comforted.
You are both living out 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 Praise God!

text: Starbucks Denies Disabled Vet with Service Dog by Elizabeth Sheld 10 Feb 2014 post a comment Share This: According to a disabled Army vet, a Texas Starbucks denied him entry into the coffee establishment because he was accompanied by his service dog "Verbena." Yancy Baer traveled to Houston from San Antonio on behalf of the national organization Canine Companions for Independence, which helped pair Baer with service dog Verbena after Baer's left leg was amputated from the knee down due to bone cancer, KHOU reported. Baer explains that he tried to go to a Starbucks on Memorial Drive when he was stopped. "A gentleman from Starbucks meets me at the door and says I can't have her [Verbena] in the store," Baer told KHOU. Baer said he explained that Verbena is his physical service dog. "He stated, 'you're not blind'," recalled Baer. "It was in your face, loud and bold. I got really nervous. I was shaking because I was being confronted." The Starbucks employee confronted him in front of other customers, Baer said. "I explained what all she does, and his next comment was, 'Why can't you do that yourself,'" said Baer. The Vet was able to speak to another employee who listened to his explanation. The first employee later apologized, according to the station.

For my Recipe-of-the-Month, I have chosen Fave dei Morti (Almond Cookies). While other countries around the world are gearing up for Halloween or Dia de los Muertos, Italians are preparing to celebrate La Festa di Ognissanti (All Saints' Day). While variations of these cookies—which translate literally as "beans of the dead"—are found in regions throughout Italy, they are especially popular in Trieste, where bakeries prepare them during the months of October and November. For my recipe, visit Flavors-of-Friuli.com.

For my Recipe-of-the-Month, I have chosen Crostata alla Marmellata (Mixed Berry Jam Tart), in honor of the Festa dei Frutti dei Bosco in Forni Avoltri. The jam is freshly prepared with raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries (although store-bought jam may be substituted). The cookie-like crust is enriched with almonds and flavored with cinnamon, cloves, and a bit of lemon zest. For my recipe, visit Flavors-of-Friuli.com.
Forni Avoltri: Festa dei Frutti di Bosco
Posted in Travel in Friuli, tagged baking, berries, Carnia, crostata, dessert, food, food festival, Forni Avoltri, Friuli, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italian food, Italy, travel on April 17, 2014 | 1 Comment »
It was the day of the Festa dei Frutti di Bosco in Forni Avoltri, and gauging by the number of tables set up, it looked to be the largest of the food festivals I had so far attended. The village straddled the Degano River, and most of the events were taking place on the farther side. Carnival rides had been erected in an empty parking lot, and rows of booths wound upward through the streets. By this time, I had started to recognize some of the same artisans at each festival—selling crafts such as jewelry, woodwork, paintings, dried flowers, and soap.
Though I was tempted by the vast array of food stands, I decided to wait and eat a little closer to lunchtime. So I took a short hike up into the mountains, past a dribbling brook and miniature waterfall, to the hamlet of Pierabach. The road was paved but climbed steadily uphill the entire way. I stopped after about an hour, when I had reached the Goccia di Carnia plant, where fresh spring water is bottled for sale.
Along the way, I had passed Osteria Al Fogolâr, one of the restaurants I had read about but hadn't been able to find on my initial day of exploration. It was only 10:30am, however—still too early for lunch. Later, on my way back down to Forni Avoltri, I peeked in to see if there were any tables available, but by then the place was completely packed. No matter, I told myself, since I had planned on eating lunch at the festival anyhow.
In addition to handing out samples of prosciutto and cheese, vendors were selling sausages, herb-filled tortelli, barley soup, and of course, frico. But as always, I couldn't resist trying the cjarsòns. I slid to the rear of the long line to wait, and to my surprise, standing in front of me were none other than Giacomo del Fabbro, president of the Centro Culturale and host of the previous evening's cookbook event, and the mayor, whom I also recognized from the event. When they saw me, I got a major chiding from both of them for leaving the book-signing prematurely. I had assumed that the event was over when, at 10:00pm, everyone stood up and headed for the door. Apparently, that had only been the intermission. Later, there had been a food tasting, and I had missed it! I really kicked myself for that mistake, but it just shows how badly the fatigue of traveling was beginning to affect me.
After the scolding, the mayor handed me a free voucher for the cjarsòns. Then, following an interminably long wait, I finally got my plate. By this time on my trip, my standards for cjarsòns had been set extremely high. Regrettably, these fell a bit short. Made with a potato-based dough, they were heavy and doughy, over-sweetened and overcooked, and I could only bring myself to eat one.
Luckily, my lunch was redeemed by the elaborate spread of sweets. Countless stands were serving up cookies, crêpes, frittelle (fritters), and even gelato, but the biggest tent of all held a vast display of berry-themed desserts. There were cakes and pies of all shapes and sizes, from jellyrolls decorated with whipped cream to tarts studded with a kaleidoscope of fruit. Everything featured wild berries—strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, red currants, and even gooseberries. I chose for my treat a huge slice of crostata with a thick cookie crust, mixed berry jam, and fresh blueberries peeking through the lattice top.
After a brief rest in my room at Hotel Scarpone, I went back out in the afternoon to see the parade. Townspeople were dressed in rich medieval costumes—velvet gowns and brocade tunics, complete with faux swords and shields. I followed the procession from the center of the festival back across the river, accompanied by drummers and minstrels, and followed by a logjam of cars, everyone trying to beat the traffic out of town.
At 5:00pm, I paid a visit to the town's Collezione Etnografica, an ethnographical museum located down the street from my hotel. Though tiny, it showcased many aspects of traditional Carnian home life, including furniture, clothing, cookware, and crafts.
Afterward, I returned to my room to rest some more before dinner. I was quietly reading, when suddenly I heard the sound of trumpets blaring. I stuck my head out the window and saw a marching band heading down the street toward the town hall. Grabbing my room key, I dashed downstairs and followed the crowd to the piazza. A pompom-waving drill team was performing, after which the Miss Carnia beauty pageant was announced. Eight model-thin girls proceeded to compete in three outfits: t-shirt and pants (or skirt), formal dress, and swimsuit. The microphone was broken, so no one could hear the announcements, but I stayed the full 90 minutes to see which waif would win the title.
It was my final night in Forni Avoltri, and not having made a reservation elsewhere, I took a chance on dinner in my hotel again. Of course, the frico was still not available, but they did have the cjarsòns. I ordered those, along with a light second course of prosciutto e melone and an insalata mista. Unfortunately, it appeared that the cjarsòns were the exact same ones being served at the festival—it did seem plausible that the hotel could have catered the event. At least these tasted fresh, though the filling was ice cold. For once, I voiced my dissatisfaction, though no offer was made to bring a new plate. As I was eating, I noticed another table being served pizzas, which were not even listed on my menu! Yet again, I was flummoxed by the obviously disparate menus. Later, when the waitress came to inquire about dessert, I had to remind her that she had not yet brought my salad. When it was finally time for dessert, I requested only a couple of apricots, which were served with knife and fork, just like my grapes two nights earlier. One of the apricots, however, was moldy inside. This time, I didn't bother to complain; I just left the fruit open-side up on my plate, its blue and white fuzz clearly visible.
Here is my recipe for crostata alla marmellata, inspired by the mixed berry jam tarts at both Forni Avoltri's Festa dei Frutti di Bosco and Sauris's Festa del Prosciutto:
1 cup fresh blackberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and grated (or puréed in a food processor)
2-1/2 cups sugar
Place the blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and apple in a large pot, mashing slightly with a spoon. Cook over medium heat until the berries soften and release a little of their juice, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar. When the liquid begins to boil, reduce heat to low; cook until thickened, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. (When the jam is ready, a small amount of syrup will hold its shape when cooled. To test, dip a spoon into the liquid; as it cools, the syrup will thicken and coat the spoon.) Transfer the jam to a medium bowl; cool to room temperature.
2 cups blanched slivered almonds
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2 eggs
1. Finely grind the almonds in a food processor. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the flour, sugar, lemon peel, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Blend in the butter, a little at a time, until crumbly. Add the eggs; mix until the dough forms a solid mass. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F. Divide the dough into two parts, about two-thirds for the bottom crust and one-third for the lattice top. (Keep the reserved third of dough refrigerated until ready to use.) Roll the dough on a lightly floured sheet of waxed paper to form a 10- by 15-inch rectangle. Invert the dough onto a greased 10- by 15-inch baking sheet. (Any rough or broken areas may be easily patched.) Spread the jam over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Roll out the reserved third of dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3/4-inch-wide strips; arrange the strips over the jam to make a lattice crust. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes.

For my Recipe-of-the-Month, I have chosen Torta Rigojanci (Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Cream Filling) in honor of Valentine's Day. This decadent mousse-filled cake was named after the Hungarian gypsy violinist Jancsi Rigó (or Rigó Jancsi, as Hungarian names are written surname first ). It was the late 19th century, and he was playing at a Parisian hotel, where Baron Chimay and his American wife, Klara, a millionaire's daughter, were in the audience. The beautiful baroness was so captivated by the gypsy that she seductively slipped her own diamond ring onto his finger. It was not long before Klara left her husband and children for her new sweetheart. During the height of this worldwide scandal, a Budapest pastry chef named his newest sinful dessert after the infamous violinist. Sadly, the love affair didn't last, but Jancsi's passionate fling has been forever immortalized in chocolate. For my recipe, visit Flavors-of-Friuli.com.

Cividale del Friuli: Dulcis in Fundo

When traveling, there is almost no feeling worse than that of waking up sick. This was my fate one chilly winter morning in Udine. Always being prepared for the worst, I was well stocked with cold meds. I grabbed a lozenge for my sore throat, rolled over in my hotel bed, and went back to sleep. When I awoke several hours later, I determined that I didn't have the flu, just a cold, and so decided to venture out anyway. I chose the easiest, quickest day trip from Udine: Cividale del Friuli, a delightful medieval town on the banks of the Natisone River.
I took the 10:30 train and arrived within 20 minutes. A short walk from the station brought me to Piazza Alberto Picco and the town's most revered bakery, Pasticceria Ducale. The display counters were brimming with chocolate-glazed, fruit-filled, and sugar-dusted pastries, but I chose instead to buy the town's signature dessert, gubana—a large, spiral cake filled with dried fruit, nuts, and spices. (I should say, to be more accurate, "gubana delle Valli del Natisone," since there are two types of gubana, the other being "gubana Cividalese.") While much gubana is nowadays mass-produced, such as the popular Vogrig brand, Pasticceria Ducale is one of the few bakeries still baking it the old-fashioned way.
While making my purchase, I explained my project to the signora and asked one of my most nagging questions: Is there any difference between gubana and the similar-looking pastries from Trieste, putizza and presnitz, or are they simply regional names for the same dessert? She explained that Trieste's putizza contains chocolate, while gubana delle Valli del Natisone does not; otherwise they are very much the same. She also believed that gubana Cividalese and presnitz were identical, being made with puff pastry instead of yeast dough. (Since then I have learned that, while this may be true for modern versions of the pastries, historically there is one important difference. Because Trieste's wealth during the Hapsburg era brought an increased availability of exotic imports such as spices, nuts, and liqueurs, presnitz was considered a more refined pastry and typically comprised a significantly longer ingredient list than gubana.)
When I timidly made my standard request for a recipe, she stepped into the back room and brought out a beautiful cookbook that featured their bakery's version of gubana. Called Dulcis in Fundo (a play on words that means literally "sweet at the bottom" and figuratively "to save the best for last"), the book was a compilation of recipes from Friuli's most prestigious bakeries. Divided into four sections corresponding to the region's four provinces, it was filled with gorgeous color photos and thorough information on the culinary history of Friuli's desserts. To my surprise, she proceeded to give me the book as a gift! So far, this was one of the nicest gestures anyone had shown me and truly demonstrates the inherent kindness of the Friulian people. To this day, I treasure this cookbook as one of my favorites.
Since I had previously been to many of the town's main sights—Museo Archeologico Nazionale, Tempietto Longobardo, Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta, Ipogeo Celtico—this visit I was more interested in the town's bakeries. I next strolled to Panificio Cattarossi, located near the entrance to the Ponte del Diavolo. There I sampled a tiny gubanetta Cividalese, a palm-sized spiral of puff pastry prepared with the same ingredients as the larger, snake-like gubana Cividalese.
The sky was overcast and threatened snow. I shivered inside my down-filled jacket, longing for something to warm me up—perhaps a hearty stew. Just as the clock struck noon, I turned into Ristorante Al Monastero. Instantly, I was warmed by the fire in the fogolâr (fireplace) in one of the cozy back rooms. A chubby Bacchus peered down from a fresco set amid wooden panels in the ceiling. Grape-motif plates and yellow tablecloths completed the elegantly rustic picture.
To start, I ordered cjalsòns, which had become a must-have for me in any restaurant. I was determined to try as many varieties as possible. These were three rather large half-moons, made with potato-based dough and stuffed with spinach, raisins, and pinenuts. Instead of the usual butter, these were served in a cream sauce, but did come with the typical topping of cinnamon and ricotta affumicata (smoked ricotta cheese). Overall, they were a bit heavy and not as flavorful as the cjalsòns that had enchanted me several years earlier. I was learning that I prefer a lighter pasta dough to this doughy, gnocchi-like version.
Next, I satisfied my craving for stew with a generous plate of goulasch. Tender chunks of beef were simmered in a rich, spicy sauce redolent of red wine and paprika and served with grilled polenta, roasted potatoes, and veggies. Although goulasch, or "gulyas," is Hungarian by origin, it has become a staple in restaurants throughout Friuli-Venezia Giulia, since the region was once a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
After my leisurely lunch, the weather had turned even nippier. Seeing as all the shops were closed for the afternoon, I took the train back to Udine right away. Once there, I embarked on a two-hour passeggiata that circled past Udine's main sights in the Venetian-styled Piazza della Libertà, over the hill to the vast, round Piazza Primo Maggio, along the murky canal on Via Zanon, and winding up in Piazza XX Settembre to see the stately Casa Veneziana. Originally built several blocks away on Via Rialto, this immense, stone palazzo was reconstructed here in 1929 to make way for a new municipal building. Its dull, grayish-pink façade is marked by arched Gothic-style windows, Udine's coat of arms, and a crest of the winged lion. (Having served as a parking lot for many years, Piazza XX Settembre was renovated in 2010 as a pedestrian area with farmers' markets, free Wi-Fi, and a book-exchange program.)
By this time, my cold was progressing, and I couldn't face the thought of braving the elements later that evening. So instead of planning a dinner out, I stopped by a market on Via Roma for some prosciutto di Sauris, Montasio cheese and grilled zucchini. After a light picnic in my room—and a slice of that gubana for dessert—I was fast asleep by 8:30pm. Dulcis in fundo!

Thyroid problems common, especially in women
Updated On: Jan 26 2014 12:00:00 AM EST
January is Thyroid Awareness Month and most people don't think about their thyroid until something goes wrong. And problems are common, especially in women.
Dr.Mario Skugor, an endocrinologist at Cleveland Clinic, says nodules, or small growths on the gland, are not unusual.
"If you are 50-60 year old woman, you actually have about a 50 percent chance of having a small nodule inside your thyroid. Most of them are not very significant and benign and small and don't do any damage. Some of them are either large enough to make trouble, which is relatively rare, or some of them are malignant and they have to be removed," Skugor explained.
Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck and produces hormones that control important body processes like heart and digestive functions. Most thyroid nodules don't cause symptoms and are often found when a doctor examines your neck.
However, sometimes a nodule will produce a thyroid hormone and cause an overproduction of the hormone leading to slight hyperthyroidism. Small nodules can be watched over time, but if they are larger than 1 centimeter, a biopsy may be done with a fine needle.
Cells from the growth are removed and tested to ensure they are not cancerous. Less than 5 percent of nodules are found to be cancerous, but if it is cancer -- most thyroid cancer is extremely treatable for a couple of reasons.
"They grow very, very slowly that's one reason. The second reason is we actually have very good treatment for it," Skugor said.
Skugor says small nodules should be taken more seriously if you have a known genetic mutation, a first degree relative with thyroid cancer, or have had prior radiation treatments to the head and neck.

After less than a week of deliberation, the jury in Michael Jackson's family's wrongful death suit against AEG Live ruled in favor of the concert promotion company.
The King of Pop's mother, Katherine, and his three children -- Prince, Paris and Blanket -- sued the concert promoter in 2010, claiming that the company was negligent in hiring Dr. Conrad Murray. In 2011, Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for administering a fatal dose of propofol. Today the jury ruled that AEG Live was responsible for hiring Dr. Conrad Murray, but that he was not unfit or incompetent to perform the work for which he was hired.
However, AEG Live's legal team denied that the company hired Murray, claiming that was Jackson's personnel choice.
Throughout the trial, Jackson's drug use was discussed at great length, as was his passion for performing. Those who knew the singer claimed that his planned "This Is It" tour was to be his big comeback, but AEG Live's representatives said that the tour never would have been financed if they'd known about Jackson's dependency on painkillers.
"AEG would have never agreed to finance this tour if they knew Mr. Jackson was playing Russian roulette in his bedroom every night," AEG Live attorney Marvin Putnam said in his closing argument, according to the Associated Press.
Meanwhile, the Jacksons' lawyer, Brian Panish, said that AEG Live should have done more to find out about Murray, but didn't because of greed.
"Do people do things they shouldn't do for money?" he asked the jury. "People do it every day."
Ultimately, jurors were asked in the verdict form to determine who was responsible for hiring Murray; while AEG drafted a contract for the doctor, as the AP reported, it was unclear whether the concert promoter or Jackson signed it.

11:Elle's Wedding Day"Miss! Miss!" Thomas cried.Elle opened her eyes with a groan to find Thomas leaning over her, his little hands on her shoulder as he tried to shake her awake."What time is it?" She croaked.Stretching, she turned onto her side and glanced at the porthole, frowning when she saw that it was still dark."It's just after dawn!" Thomas said, sitting beside her on the narrow bed.Elle sighed, tugging the thin sheet more tightly around her shoulder. She had made it a habit to sleep as late as she could, not because she was depressed, she assured herself, but because it meant less time spent anywhere near Elias, and more time spent devising a plan."Why on Earth are you waking me up so early?" Elle asked, just as a deafening BOOM rocked the ship.Elle shot up in the bed, grabbing Thomas protectively around the shoulders. "What the hell was that?" She shrieked.Thomas laughed. "It's alright Miss, just a signal shot to let Tearny know we intend to make port."Elle stood up and stretched
Elle and Mias Chapter 5Elle would have never guessed that Mias had such a compassionate counterpart. It would seem that Mias, after all, subsisted as the evil twin and Elias coexisted as the wholesome one, constantly shadowed and undermined by the heinous actions of his brother. He had convictions
and they did not revolve around chasing skirt.It did not hurt that he was as devastatingly handsome as Mias, like a figure from an 1800s romance novel cover. He wore his hair long, neatly pulled back wearing a dark billowy shirt and nicely fitted pants that complimented his features. "I am not from Ærworuld," she confessed, one morning during their daily get-together. "Mias came to my world and kidnapped me. I do not know how he managed to go through the portal. But he did and he can, which I understand to be thought an impossible feat."Elias' mouth dropped open. "This is terrible news. No wonder he was able to recapture you, you could not escape... If I possessed the ability t
9: Elias' RevengeElle stumbled forward onto the beach on hands and knees, just as a wave crashed against her. She fell forward onto her stomach, gasping for air as she tried to catch her breath. Her muscles screamed, her shoulders and arms trembling uncontrollably from the excruciating swim. Her legs cramped, needles of pain crawling over her calves when she tried to stretch her legs. But she had made it, she was alive.She rolled onto her back with a groan, her whole body protesting. Staring up at the starry sky, Elle pushed the damp hair that clung to her cheeks out of her face, bringing herself up onto her elbows. She looked out at the water which shimmered in the moonlight, and in the distance she could make out the silhouette of the Revenge, and she sighed with relief when she realized that it was moving away.Her relief was quickly replaced by guilt when she thought of Thomas. She had left him behind. She shook her head, unable to believe her own selfishness. She should have fought harder,
10: Elle's RevengeElle ripped her arm free of the large sailor's grip as he hauled her up from the ladder and onto the deck. She nearly fell to the floor, feeling so detached and disoriented from the horror she had just witnessed that her whole body was numb.Mias is dead.She felt a sharp twisting in her chest at the very thought, and she wanted nothing more than to crumple to the floor and cry. She looked towards the island, only able to see the outline of the cliffs and the glimmer of waves as they drifted onto the shore. Elle wanted to hurl herself over the side of the ship, to swim back to Mias and hold him in her arms one last time. But she knew there would be no point in it, that all the wishing and crying, all the promises and kisses in the world would never bring him back. All she could do now was hope that Mias knew what she felt for him. That his love for her was matched by her love for him.She watched as Elias climbed up the last few steps of the ladder with a wide grin on his face,

New Zealand's dollar may extend a two-month slide against its U.S. peer after it closed below a key level of support, according to Royal Bank of Canada.
In the heart of the Canadian Prairies, bankers made no pretense of working once the puck dropped to start the men's Olympic hockey semifinal between Canada and the U.S.
Royal Bank of Canada, the largest asset manager among the country's lenders, benefited from a gain in Smith & Wesson Holding Corp.'s shares after increasing its stake in the U.S. gunmaker last quarter.
The dollar fell the most in two weeks versus the yen before U.S. data that analysts said will show gross domestic product contracted in the first quarter.
Canola processing in Canada, the world's biggest grower and exporter, has declined even after last year's record harvest because railway backlogs have slowed shipments to mills.
KPMG Inc., the court-appointed trustee for the Canadian unit of MF Global Holdings Ltd., was ordered to make cash payments to the bankrupt company's 2,500 foreign exchange customers in the country.
U.S. stocks rose, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to the highest level since December 2007, after data showed employers added workers in December at about the same pace as the prior month.
Options are signaling that the Federal Reserve can reduce its bond-purchase program without causing a spike in price swings in the Treasury market.
