Honey Pecan Pie
Recipes >
I love pecan pie. I mean LOVE. I love it made with molasses or sorghum, even when it's made with corn syrup. As long as it has lots of pecans, I'm going to love it. What I love about this recipe, is the combination of orange blossom and buckwheat honey give it that great sweetness and earthiness much like molasses or sorghum.
- ¼ Cup melted butter
- ¾ cup Bee Raw Orange Blossom Honey Shop Now
- ¾ cup Bee Raw Buckwheat Honey Shop Now
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/3 tsp. salt
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 heaping cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup pecan halves
- 1 single pie crust - bushed with egg wash and par baked.
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Combine melted butter, honey, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the lightly beaten eggs and combine well. Stir in chopped pecans. Pour mixture into prepared crust. Cover the edges of the crust with pie crust shields or a strip of aluminum foil. Arrange pecan halves on the surface of the pie. Bake at 325°F for 30-40 minutes until set. Cool completely before serving and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Felicia Sanscartier '09, major in geography, minor in biology
"I chose Salem State because I loved the campus. I also like being only 45 minutes from home, so if I ever need to go home it's not an inconvenience. And Salem State offered everything I needed.
I actually switched into geography from biology. I chose geography because I wanted to stay in the field of science and the classes are a lot smaller.
My academic experience here has been an interesting one. I never thought I would have changed my major halfway through college but I am happy with my decision. I love the geography department, everyone is so friendly and willing to help when it is needed, and they are very approachable.
I hope to work with organizations to help track migration patterns of species due to global warming and other effects global warming is having on the species of our planet.
I'm going on the trip to the southwest soon and I am very much looking forward to it. I truly believe this will be my best at Salem State."

as of 6.26.14 I've been have kept these settings, and have been very pleased. Of course the low shelf bass setting is probably the most "personal preference" type setting. You just never know how people will feel about bass in particular, and bass levels can vary greatly depending on the type of music you listen to.
One thing I've noticed about these headphones is that the 200hz setting is the most crucial to a more balanced sound. This mid bass hump causes some muddying of the overall frequency response.
However, depending on the type of music you listen to, you may never hear it. For example, if you really want to hear it try listening to something like Dave Matthews Band - before these crowded streets - stay. I like this track because it is very busy. It has male and female vocals, violin, saxophone, a plethora of drums and cymbals, a busy bass line and so on. Its easy to hear things getting muddied up, and easier to hear the difference with my eq settings on a track like this.
Even if all you do lower the 200hz frequency, it will make the biggest difference. Frankly i can see why many people don't use EQ with these headphones. Again, depending on the type of music you listen to, you may not hear much to complain about, and even with my settings you may not hear a great difference.
60 Hz Gain 2.0 dB Q 3.5
120 Hz Gain 2.0 dB (this is a low shelf setting, hence no Q)
200 Hz Gain -4.0 dB Q 0.4
1450 Hz Gain -2.0 dB Q 2.0
3000 Hz Gain 2.5 dB Q 2.9
4500 Hz Gain 2.0 dB Q 4.8
7400 Hz Gain 1.5 dB Q 4.8
12000 Hz Gain -3.0 dB Q 1.4
If you want to translate these settings into any other EQ format, here is a site that converts Q to Octave.

- 0Jan 2, '13 by TheBerriGirlSo I'm just wondering...
I'm starting nursing school on the 7th at Nova Southeastern University in FL and I wanted to know any thoughts about what a nurse "should" look like. I don't even know if that makes sense lol. I'm all about my unique and different to some personality with tattoos and purple hair (not normal colored hair). Does anyone think this would take away from my career? I mean I have seen nurses with wild hair and tattoos and I thought that was totally rad cause they were different but I don't want people to be afraid of me or not to be taken seriously. Any advice? I love my tattoos and hair and I do not regret them one bit by the way.
- 4Jan 2, '13 by flyersfan88, BSN, RNQuote from TheBerriGirlI believe most nursing schools, if not all, will require you to cover tattoos during clinical, as well as have natural hair color. I would assume the same goes for hospitals/most prospective employers. Not all patients will find tattoos purple hair harmless, and may not want you to take care of them.So I'm just wondering...

I love my tattoos and hair and I do not regret them one bit by the way.
- 1Jan 2, '13 by DawnCapriceI can only speak for my nursing school and we are not allowed to have any tattoos showing. They must be covered. We also have to have our hair colored in a natural hair color, pulled off the face. We have a lab uniform and a clinical uniform that we are required to wear. While in uniform we can only have one pair of stud earrings on and one ring on. No necklaces or bracelets. Our dress code is very strict.
You may want to double check with your school about their dress code. I also know that most of the medical settings in my area (The Florida Big Bend) is very conservative.
Good luck in school!
- 1Jan 2, '13 by melizerd, ADN, RNFor our school it depends on the clinical site and the instructor. Some of them require you to cover any and all tattoos, some only ones on your wrists/hands. We are required to have a "natural" color hair, no purple or orange. It's only funny because one of my instructors attended our school and had orange hair when she went but they changed the rules LOL.
What you get to do as a nurse at a specific job is different than as a student I've found out as well. As students we're required to wear COMPLETELY white shoes, no clogs etc. but I see tons of nurses on the floor wearing whatever is comfortable in all colors but I do what my school requires me to do.
Check with your school, there should be a policy book that outlines any and all type of appearance issues including tattoos, earrings, hair color, nail length and if polish is allowed etc.
- 5Jan 2, '13 by Squirrely18, ADN, RNI believe that appearance does matter when you are in the healthcare field. You have to remember that a lot of patients in the hospital are older adults and most don't agree with the way people today dress and put tattoos all over their body, and it may offend them or interfere with patient care. My school requires students to cover visible tattoos(with bandaids or whatever completely covers it) and have hair color that occurs naturally to humans so that means no green or blue hair or whatever else. My personal opinion is that nurses are professionals and should dress and act that way while working.
- 0Jan 2, '13 by StephalumpAppearance is a million times more important in nursing school because schools feel as if their reputation is on the line with every move you make. The norm seems to be covering all visible tattoos and having natural colored hair. Not too bad. You get to have your tattoos as freely as you want off work, and there are worse things than not being able to have green hair.
I have no problem with expressing themselves in whatever ways, but I do think nursing is a profession and we'll only be doing ourselves a favor by keep professional standards.
- 0Jan 2, '13 by Nursestudent14At my school we have to have our hair pulled back and not hangning in our face, along with no earring or jewelry at all. We also have a specific uniform for clinical and can only wear white shirts (either long sleeve or short) under it. We also have to have mostly white shoes. I know that we have a strict dress code but it depends on the instructor some of them were more flexible than others. It always depends. I just stuck to the dress code and always looked professional during clinically because you have to remember during clinical you are always on stage. These may be your future employers or your instructors may be a great reference. I just stuck to the dress code because of that, and it made it easy. I also work at the same hospital that I had clinical at and the dress code was enforced but not majorly. At work we are suppose to wear mostly white shoes, but that is never enforced. I love working in healthcare and figured that while I am in school I will just obey the rules you can always have your own personality and style once you get a job.
- 3Jan 2, '13 by JustBeachyNurse, LPNThe majority of nursing schools have very specific "traditional" dress codes. Hair off the collar (whether short or pinned up), short, clean fingernails with no polish, single pair stud earrings (one per ear lobe), no facial or other visible piercings (may use flesh toned , sometimes clear " place holder" (sorry can't think of the right term now) is generally permitted), no visible tattoos, natural hair color (defined as close to what your base color would be--no "wild colors" or streaks such as blue, red, purple, green, etc.), no bracelets or jewelry, no rings (infection control and safety issue) though some programs permit a single band ring such as a wedding band style but it can be a pain with all the handwashing you are expected to do. No visible underwear (the classmate who elected to wear an animal print thong under their white uniform pants was promptly sent home with an absence for the day)
When I was in school the dress code for classroom & clinical were similar with some exception (minimal jewelry was permitted as long as it wasn't a distraction...some people are more flashy than others and I mean that literally there were some who wore jewelery that literally flashed that was rather distracting when the lights were dimmed for videos & power points ), hair color was not as important when we were in the lecture only component of our coursework as long as it was neat & clean and not distracting. One young gal liked to wear very high pony tails and had very wavy hair that was somewhat wild. Depending on the day anyone sitting behind her couldn't view the lecture because her hair was in the way. She moved to the back or had to change her hairstyle.
Tatoos could be covered with long sleeves in most clinical settings except OR and other areas that required no outside clothing such as the special procedures unit, PACU, critical care, cath lab, etc. In these cases those with tatoos that would be visible were required by the clinical facility to wear a facility provided scrub jacket or gown. (Which wasn't a big deals since many of those areas were colder environments so the sleeves were appreciated!)
- 2Jan 2, '13 by JustBeachyNurse, LPNOh and one facility prohibited the use of bandages to cover tattoos in patient care areas as they could easily get wet and become an infection control issue for the already ill patients.
- 0Jan 2, '13 by KimynurseMost want:
Natural color hair
Pulled up off collar
No visible tattoos- covered with flesh colored coverings
One pair of stud earrings
One short necklace
No perfume
A plain gold wedding band
Short well groomed nails, no polish
Uniform, no extra pins or embellishments
White leather nursing shoes or sneakers
The above is a guideline, that most schools follow, good luck

Consumers may now easily use a Wi-Fi connection to deliver audio and video content from one device to another, without cables. The devices connect directly, enabling watching videos from a smartphone, tablet, or set-top box on a HDTV or sharing a laptop screen on a HDTV. Two standards that enable this wireless technology are Wi-Fi Alliance Miracast™ (Wi-Fi Display) and Intel® Wireless Display (WiDi).
To add wireless display receiver capabilities to legacy HDTVs, small adapters (about the size of a USB flash memory device) can be used that receive the compressed audio and video, decode it, and drive an HDMI output. These adaptors can be directly plugged into an HDMI input on the HDTV and are typically powered using a USB port on the HDTV. In addition, wireless display receiver capability may be integrated into new set-top boxes, media players, HDTVs, etc.
Our family of architecture-compatible Secure Media Processors, SDKs, and development kits enable fast development of a wireless display receiver.
The SMP8674 provides a highly-integrated, high-performance, low-cost solution for wireless display receivers.

The thing about the blood that everyone notices first: It's blue, baby blue.
The marvelous thing about horseshoe crab blood, though, isn't the color. It's a chemical found only in the amoebocytes of its blood cells that can detect mere traces of bacterial presence and trap them in inescapable clots.
To take advantage of this biological idiosyncrasy, pharmaceutical companies burst the cells that contain the chemical, called coagulogen. Then, they can use the coagulogen to detect contamination in any solution that might come into contact with blood. If there are dangerous bacterial endotoxins in the liquid—even at a concentration of one part per trillion—the horseshoe crab blood extract will go to work, turning the solution into what scientist Fred Bang, who co-discovered the substance, called a "gel."
"This gel immobilized the bacteria but did not kill them," Bang wrote in the 1956 paper announcing the substance. "The gel or clot was stable and tough and remained so for several weeks at room temperature."
If there is no bacterial contamination, then the coagulation does not occur, and the solution can be considered free of bacteria. It's a simple, nearly instantaneous test that goes by the name of the LAL, or Limulus amebocyte lysate, test (after the species name of the crab, Limulus polyphemus).
The LAL test replaced the rather horrifying prospect of possibly contaminated substances being tested on "large colonies of rabbits." Pharma companies didn't like the rabbit process, either, because it was slow and expensive.
So, now, the horseshoe blood test is a big business. "Every drug certified by the FDA must be tested using LAL," PBS's Nature documentary noted, "as do surgical implants such as pacemakers and prosthetic devices."
I don't know about you, but the idea that every single person in America who has ever had an injection has been protected because we harvest the blood of a forgettable sea creature with a hidden chemical superpower makes me feel a little bit crazy. This scenario is not even sci-fi, it's postmodern technology.
The only problem is that the companies need a large supply of the blood of live crabs. Horseshoe crabs live on the seafloor, near the shore. When they want to mate, they swim into very shallow water, and horseshoe crab collectors wade along, snatching the crabs out of their habitat.
The biomedical collectors are not the first to make use of the crabs' bodies. As far back as colonial times, "cancerine fertilizer" was used to enrich fields. In the 20th century, though, this became an organized industry around the Delaware Bay. The crabs were steamed and then ground into meal for the fields. Others were fed to hogs. Millions of crabs were harvested.
As we slowly killed off the horseshoe crab population, by the 1970s, the fertilizer industry declined and had died off. But harvests picked back up in the 1990s, when fishermen realized they could use the crabs as bait for catching large snails called whelk (aka conchs).
That is to say, these animals have not been treated kindly by humans. They don't inspire the kind of affection we have for, say, bunny rabbits. In the eyes of people before Fred Bang, the only merit attached to the horseshoe crab was its proximity. They like the shoreline, as do we.
And that bacteria-rich habitat is why, Bang speculated, the crabs evolved their marvelous chemical defense. Their circulatory systems work more like a spider's than like ours. If we inhale something bad, that thing has to find its way through our bodies and into our bloodstreams, fighting its way through our white blood cells along the way. But if bacteria find their way under a horseshoe crab's exoskeleton, they can roam free to do damage.
"Large sinuses exist that allow blood direct contact with tissues," the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory's history of the crab explains. "There are many wide open spaces and bacteria entering a crack in the shell of a horseshoe crab have easy access to large internal areas of the crab, a potentially deadly scenario."
The coagulogen changes the wide-open terrain of the horseshoe crab's circulatory system. When the crab blood cells sense invaders, they release granules of the chemical, which becomes a gooey physical barrier to the movement of the bacteria, preventing the spread of infection. The best metaphor might be the superpower of the X-Men's Iceman, but instead of using cold to encase enemies, the horseshoe crab instead uses its remarkable chemistry.
This trick, perhaps unfortunately for the horseshoe crab, does not work on humans.
After the biomedical horseshoe crab collectors get them back to a lab, they pierce the tissue around the animals' hearts and drain up to 30 percent of the animals' blood. The LAL is extracted from the blood, and can go for $15,000 per quart. Only five companies bleed the crabs: Associates of Cape Cod, Lonza, Wako Chemicals, Charles River Endosafe, and Limuli Labs (which does not have a website).

Facebook and Twitter are so big that we often forget there are other social media sites beyond the horizon. Most of these cater to niche crowds or at least a desire to move away from Facebook. In fact, its subtly apart of their pitches, with privacy almost always the most highlighted feature. I decided to give Path a try to see what one of the more popular of these sites was all about. One of the reasons for this, is that Path is designed with exclusivity in mind. If you remember hearing about the Dunbar theory of social networks, Path abides by this law with a cut off of 150 friends. In the theory, Dunbar claims that a person is able to have 150 relationships, with 50 trusted friends, 15 good friends and 5 best friends.
Before abiding by Dunbar's theory, Path set the cut off at 50 friends; though once it increased in popularity, the site tacked on some more breathing room. What I like about Path and the Dunbar theory, is that it takes raw, real life social interaction into consideration. There's often talk of the different personalities people create for themselves on various social sites, though Path creates an environment that is intimate enough for users to be the person they are when the wi-fi is down. In fact, Path is only available on a smartphone, which practically encourages users to go out and share their 'real' lives with friends they love and trust.
Currently Path's revenue stream comes from iTunes song purchasing and its premium camera lenses that offer users unique photo and video filters. They hope to continue offering more small services like these, but I can't help wondering when marketers will step in. Users can already share their location similar to the way they can on Foursquare, they can post what music they're listening to like Spotify and snap and share pictures like Instagram. The app also lets you share everything to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Foursquare. As Path increases in popularity, they'll have to do the same creative thinking all these other social networks had to do.

Project areaReplacing the pipeline coming into the Kirkland Pump Station, corner of 3rd Street and Park LaneKing County's new Kirkland Pump Station will provide safe, reliable service for years to come What will the area look like after construction?
The Kirkland Pump Station is located across the street from the King County Library (external link) and next to the Kirkland Transit Center (external link). The King County Wastewater Treatment Division worked closely with Sound Transit and the City of Kirkland to coordinate efforts and minimize impacts on the community and downtown businesses.
New Sewer Pipeline on 3rd Street, under the new Transit Center
King County and Sound Transit partnered to install new sewer pipelines in 3rd Street, allowing complete restoration of the Transit Center and limiting disruptions to the Transit Center operations and businesses in the area.
New Kirkland Pump Station on the corner of Park Lane and 3rd Street
King County's contractor will build a new, upgraded Kirkland Pump Station around the existing pump station while it is still in operation. This work requires careful sequencing to maintain existing operations.
Modifications to the county's Kirkland Pump Station will include: replacing pumps, odor control equipment, and emergency generator; electrical system upgrades; modernization of control instrumentation; and improvements to the building's exterior.
Force Main replacement on Kirkland Avenue from 3rd Street to Railroad Avenue
A force main will be installed in Kirkland Avenue, with a new connection to King County's Eastside Interceptor at Railroad Avenue.

Dante Alighieri
Dante Alighieri
Described by many as a living canvas and mainly known as the birthplace of the Renaissance, sophisticated Florence is impressive with its grand palaces, beautiful churches and priceless art collections. It is not for nothing that Florence epitomizes the wealth and extravagance befitting a European cultural capital. Yet this is not the greater story. It would be rash to conclude that Florence is simply the centre of some of the greatest artistic and architectural achievements of early Renaissance Europe. In my opinion, there is something infinitely more important.
Whenever I visit Florence I also think of the perennial and bitter struggles, of the feuds and hatred that existed between ruling families, of the volatile politics and the conspiracies that were centre stage of Florentine life during the Middle Ages and during the 15th Century. No less important, is the strong literary heritage that has resonated through the centuries to give us some of the masterpieces that remain pillars upon which much literary heritage owes a debt. It is a heritage that began and manifested itself in an unprecedented shift in tradition. But what was this shift? And more importantly, who was actually responsible?
Florence is intimately associated with the writings of Giovanni Boccaccio and Francesco Petrarca. They were, unquestionably, responsible for the burgeoning literary achievements that made Florence stand out from the rest of Italy. For me, however, the centrepiece of Florentine (and Italian) literature rests with Dante Alighieri and his magnum opus, La Divinia Commedia (The Divine Comedy), a long vernacular poem composed during his long exile from Florence.
Noble Descent
Dante Alighieri was born in Florence on the 29th May 1265 into a well to do Guelf family of noble descent. His reputation as the most outstanding and prominent figure of European literature and poetry must rest, arguably, with the Divinia Commedia (although other important works include La Vita Nuova in which he celebrates his love for Beatrice, De Vulgari Eloquentia, a treatise on his native language, Il Convivio, a collection of verse, De Monarchia, which was burned by the order of Pope John XXII and Quaestio de situ aqua et terra, a scholastic treatise on science).
The Divine Comedy is a magnificent synthesis of an imaginary medieval world. But the clue in understanding how he influenced modern literature with this work lies with the emotional, political and ecclesiastical influences of Dante's own life which provided the setting for the poem, for it recounts his own journey through some restless and turbulent times. There's a twist to the story and it is personal. For Dante, the decline of Florence was seen as a general world decline into sin and corruption.
The characters that Dante meets on his journey are drawn largely from ancient and classical history, but many include his personal friends and enemies. His graphic portraitures and constant allusions to human nature are a profound analysis and evaluation of every aspect of life. The Divine Comedy is also an allegorized and generalized representation of the progress of the individual, a wanderer searching for spiritual treasures as it were.
Moral Convictions
In his youth Dante served with the Florentine Army and fought against the Arretini at the battle of Campaldino in 1289. He was also present during the capture of the Fortress at Caprona, near Pisa (following the treacherous death of Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, the former podesta' of Pisa, who sided with the Guelf forces of Florence and Lucca in order to stave off further attack from Pisa's enemies, Florence and Lucca captured Caprona as part of an vengeful offensive against the Pisan Ghibellines).
LEFT: Caprona RIGHT: Campaldino memorial
Intensively active, compassionate and possessing a clear sense of moral convictions, Dante later played a prominent role in Florentine politics. He served on the Signoria of Florence and later became ambassador to Rome. In 1300 he was appointed to the position of City Prior. During this time, however, the Guelfs had split into two factions - the Whites who were against papal interference - and the Blacks who sought closer political ties with the church. The two opposing factions had caused much widespread civil unrest in Florence. But Dante opposed the political intentions of Pope Boniface VIII and in his role as civic leader subsequently exiled, among others, Corso Donati, the head of the Black Guelfs.
The trouble with this decision was that not only was Donati related to Dante's wife, more importantly, it also earned the enraged Pope's displeasure. This decision, together with the Signoria's intransigent attitude towards the papacy eventually led to Dante's own irrevocable and perpetual exile. In 1301 when the imperialist Ghibellines had regained power, Dante's political enemies wrongly accused him of fraudulent use of public money. He was banished for life from Florence with all of his wealth and property confiscated, although his wife and children would remain safe.
During his solitary exile Dante was never to set eyes on his beloved Florence again. He visited many courts and served various princes and he supported Henry VII the Holy Roman Emperor as the potential savior of a united Italy. He died of malaria at the age of 56 in September 1321 whilst serving the court of Guido Novello da Polenta in Ravenna. He is buried in a tomb that stands adjacent to the Basilica di San Francesco.
La Divina Commedia was written during his exile and occupied eighteen years of his life. But returning to the overriding question of how this literary masterpiece led to an unprecedented shift in tradition, breaking the mould of conventional clerical wisdom and establishing the Tuscan dialect as the literary language of Italy. For Dante, drawing upon his earlier studies in philosophy and theology, his uncompromising high-mindedness and independence of mind not only made him challenge the political doctrines of his day, he also opposed the clerical assumptions and traditions that prescribed Latin as the only language worthy of a great subject. Moreover, he advocated the use of a single language enriched by the best dialect that each Italian region had to offer. This, he believed, would not only bring unity and peace to Italy but also create a truly national culture, an end to which Dante passionately believed in and aspired to throughout his life.
Piazza Dante - San Leo
An Important Place in Literary History
For me, Dante and his Divine Comedy hold an important place in literary history. That the development of the Italian language from his Tuscan dialect was to be such a landmark and momentous change, spearheading the new humanist renaissance culture, has really only emerged over the centuries. In short, Dante was a great man whose intellectual conviction and influence played a leading role in shaping Florence, although it may extend beyond the literary to influencing the political dream of a unified Italy. But the impact of his work upon our literary heritage has undeniably earned him his place in history. A fact that is today, acknowledged by the immortal title of divino poeta or divine poet.

I found a the headpiece of this man Dante.It is made of brass or copper .Were can I find out more?
Why are the Dante Alighieri Societies around the world refusing, at all cost, to talk about the ELEPHANT in the PARLOR of polite society? Can you imagine all those high school teachers and college professors around the world teaching the same old swill, tripe and nonsense about what Dante Alighieri wrote in his La Divina Commedia: not telling the students the TRUTH.
I find it absolutely appalling that Dante Societies, high schools, universities and colleges refuse to teach Dante Alighieri's mathematical system esoterically structured to his La Divina Commedia to the world.
Dantists would rather see this esoteric system of thought that Dante was trying to bring into the world, go back into obscurity rather than let Dante accomplish what he set out to do. How utterly wicked can you get?????????? Appalling!!
ANYBODY wanting a copy of the 5th appendix chapter of my recently published work, which fully outlines (briefly) Dante Alighieri's sophisticated mathematical system esoterically codified to La Divina Commedia, email me: email@example.com
By and by this mathematical system has been known to the academic community since 1993. Ask yourself, why the silence? The silence is quite loud isn't it?

RPGnet Game Index: What I Like (Apparently)
Still and all, the Game Index is useful for looking up information on nearly any gaming product. There's also the User Index feature, which will tell you (if you've bothered to rate any products) what and who your top four rated settings, contributors/authors, and systems are. I've rated 340+ products now on the scale from 1-10. I think you have to rank 4-5 products on any classification showing on the list. Let's see how close my RPGnet ratings to my actual preferences (all scores are an average on the 1-10 scale), courtesy of my user page:
My Top 4 Backgrounds/Settings, According to the Game Index:
1) Greyhawk (8.05)
2) Palladium Fantasy (7.71)
3) Traveller (7.14)
4) Erde (6.89)
Anyone who's read my blog for an extended period of time know Numbers 1 and 3 are no surprise. I'm a big Greyhawk fan and I love the Imperium. Palladium Fantasy was one of my first RPGs, and the later sourcebooks for it are especially chock-full of gaming ideas that have really influencing my fantasy gaming, which likely explains such a high rating.
Erde is the odd man out. I imagine the in-house setting from Troll Lord games made it on here due to me rating Castles & Crusades products highly. They are classified as having Erde as a setting, even though I'm buying C&C for the system. A lot of other setting I like only have a few products out, so they may not have qualified for the list. I'd have thought Middle Earth would make it, but looking things over, I've hardly rated any MERP stuff.
My Top 4 Contributors/Authors, According to the Game Index:
1) Erick Wujcik (8.80)
2) Brent M. Bernstein (8.00)
3) Gary Gygax (7.83)
4) clash bowley (7.75)
The Wuje takes the top spot, and I can't begrudge the man behind Amber Diceless and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPG for it one bit. It is well-deserved. Brent is the head honcho at Precis Intermedia, and since I really like games such as Two-Fisted Tales and Coyote Trail, this isn't a surprise.
Uncle Gary clocks in at #3. I esteem highly many of his adventures, even as I shun Cyborg Commando, and it is well and proper that he be on here. The infamous clash bowley rounds out the Top 4, no doubt thanks to Starcluster, In Harm's Way, Book of Jalan, and Cold Space. I thought Bill Coffin might sneak in there due to his Palladium Fantasy work, but he did not--likely due to a few Rifts books I didn't care for.
My Top 4 Systems, According to the Game Index:
1) Casltes & Crusades (8.13)
2) Palladium Fantasy (8.09)
3) Generic (7.77)
4) Rolemaster (7.75)
OK, this one is a bit screwy. I'm down with C&C being up there--it's pushing all the right buttons for me right now, I've really enjoyed the core book and Troll Lord's recent products, but Palladium's system definitely wouldn't be in my Top 4. Again, this is likely a consequence of me rating the product overall so high.
"Generic" is what is listed for many system-neutral products--I'm heavy into a lot of things that can be used easily with multiple RPGs, so this one is pretty spot-on. Rolemaster got in there--this is a system I love to play, but also gut the snot out of. I tweak, fiddle, and toss out rules left and right to streamline it. There's enough goodness in there to keep the core concepts and remove what we don't want and simply what we don't want to mess with I wouldn't play it as written, but love the basics nonetheless. I know for a fact there are numerous RM products I rated poorly--the really good ones must have compensated. For this category, I can think of many great systems--Rules Cyclopedia D&D, Burning Wheel, True20, Amber--that just didn't make it for whatever reason. This list was likely the furthest off-base of all, but still not bad.
Well, all in all, not far off the mark, but marking the product overall instead of by system/setting did cause some anomalies. But it was still interesting for me to look back and see what my highest-rated items were. I wonder it will be if I rate another 100 products, and fill in some of the gaps I'm sure I've overlooked. I'm not 100% reliable with it, but as my perceptions and experiences change, I try to update my ratings, to keep them as honest and useful as possible. We'll see where things are at then.
Do any other Game Index users have a link to their stats or wish to share their rankings?

I have entry there; ratings spuriosly updated when I play or read new games, meaning that there are bound to be relics of old thinking in effect.
The ratings are very random, overall, not reflecting my tastes at all. A cause for this may be that I have much emphasis on rating free products, not owning many commercial ones.

Regarding streamlined Rolemaster. Have you looked at HARP? Which I gather is ICE's streamlined Rolemaster.
Back when I started hating on D&D magic I really loved RM. I also dug the greater freedom variety of buying skills/stuff compared to rigid D&D classes and levels.
But I never found any players and I've since been convinced Vancian magic is awesome.

Yeah, I dig HARP ok. RM has a little more meat on it's bones, and I worked with it before HARP, so I'm more comfy with it. Sort of an add to this or take from that scenario.
What convinced you on Vancian magic? :)

Press ReleaseFrom the Office of State Senator Glenn Hegar, District 18
For Immediate Release June 29, 2010 Contact: Lisa Craven (512) 463-0118
AUSTIN—Today is a great day in American history! The United States Supreme Court affirmed today what a vast majority of Texans and the American public have long known.
Our founding fathers wrote that the Second Amendment was an individual right and now, a majority of the members of the Supreme Court have confirmed what our founding fathers wrote and intended. The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is an individual right extending to all fifty states and all political subdivisions and once and for all is a real part of American constitutional law.
This landmark decision vindicates all of the American citizens across our nation who have always believed that the Second Amendment was an individual right that should not be infringed upon by state or local governments but whose freedoms were ignored by overzealous elected officials who for many years thwarted our constitution.
While this decision is significant, Supreme Court decisions must result in actual changes in the enforcement of the law. In order for an individual freedom to mean anything, an individual citizen must be able to experience that freedom. The intent of the founding fathers -- and now the Supreme Court -- was and is to provide access. State and local governments who have placed undue, and now unconstitutional, restrictions, on the right of any law abiding man or woman, no matter where they live, to purchase and/or possess a firearm must take immediate action to rescind those laws. This decision must provide immediate relief to law-abiding citizens who have been and continue to be deprived of their Second Amendment rights. Today, the Supreme Court said that all law abiding adult Americans have the right to purchase and possess a firearm.
As the Chairman of the Legislative Sportsman's Caucus here in Texas, I will fight to ensure this constitutional victory for all Americans is not transformed into a practical defeat for Texans by liberal activist judges, defiant city councils, or misguided politicians who seek to pervert, reverse, or nullify the Supreme Court's McDonald decision through undue restrictions and regulations that render the Second Amendment inaccessible, unaffordable, or otherwise impossible for law abiding Texans to experience in a practical and reasonable way. That includes denying the right of Texans to protect themselves by prohibiting them from keeping a lawfully owned firearm in their personal vehicle parked at their place of employment while at work.
The Second Amendment is only an individual freedom when individual law abiding Americans can purchase a firearm, keep it in their home or vehicle and can have full access to that gun to protect themselves and their family or to use it for hunting or any other lawful purpose.
Finally, it is important to note that McDonald v. City of Chicago was a five to four decision. Had just one justice ruled differently, those who have long sought to dismantle the Second Amendment by placing undue laws, restrictions or other impediments on the lawful purchase and possession of a firearm would have assumed they now had the backing of the nation's highest court to subvert the will of our nation's founders. Just as words in our constitution matter, so do elections.
While today's decision is cause for celebration, we must not be content with this fragile victory. We must continue to work to elect lawmakers at all levels of government who will fight to uphold all of our constitutionally protected freedoms, most especially the right of all law abiding Americans to keep and bear arms.
Senator Hegar served two terms in the Texas House of Representatives and now represents Senate District 18 in the Texas Senate. Senate District 18 contains over one-third of the Texas coastline. He is a sixth generation Texan, and earns a living farming on land that has been in his family since the mid 1800's. He currently resides in Katy, Texas with his wife Dara, and their three children, Claire, Julia, and Jonah.

Would you turn down BSN for ADN??
- 0Jun 11, '07 by Alert&Orientedx0Hi all, I'm just curious to know if anyone would ever turn down acceptance to a BSN program for an ADN in order to have your employer pay for your BSN. Ive read that many people's decisions are sometimes based on financial reasons & family obligations. So if you had a choice which would you do & what other reasons would you make your decision besides costs, length of time, & family obligations?????:spin: Thanks for any comments
- 0Jun 11, '07 by RNDreamerI most certainly would have, but only if it were easier to get into the ADN programs in my area. One reason why I did not go the ADN route was because I did not want to take the chance of taking a year or two of courses at the lower tuition comm colleges, not get into the program, then scramble to find another school to go to. Then let's say I did get in, that is a year of pre reqs, then 2 years of nursing, total of 3 years...the school I will be attending next month will give me a BSN in the same amount of time, 3 years due to my transfer credits. I will be over 100k in debt but with my potential salary, I am not stressing it. OK, I am rambling...my answer is yes, but only if the ADN programs in my area were easier to get into
- 0Jun 11, '07 by jjjoyFind out more about the specific programs as well. Maybe one or the other would be a better fit you for one reason or another. For example, one might have more convenient clinical locations at facilities you'd consider working at in the future. Visit the campus and classes if you can, just to get a feel for the environment and the student population.
Also, some programs have good or poor reputations in regard to the readiness of their graduates to work as nurses in certain roles. If you can find local nurses to talk to, that might help. Consider contacting a couple of hospital nurse managers and asking their opinions on local programs during an informational interview.
- 0Jun 11, '07 by cardiacRN2006My employer paid for my ADN, and will pay for the BSN as well. Pick which program suits you and meets your needs.
- 0Jun 13, '07 by arciedeeTo add to what others have said, make sure you know what the hospitals' policies are regarding tuition reimbursement in your area. It's not a given that they will pay for your additional education. I know the ones in my area have tuition reimbursement but it is definitely not enough to cover the cost of the RN-to-BSN programs unless you only take your classes one at a time. Other hospitals, however, have much better policies. You just want to know what you'll be up against.
- 0Jun 13, '07 by DutchgirlRNYes. There's no difference in the pay. If you're looking to eventually get into management you'll need your BSN.
- 0Jun 14, '07 by TweetyNo if I had the opportunity to get an BSN I would have gotten a BSN and not found myself 15 years wanting it. I would have gotten it out of the way. The BSN would have been only another year, since the ADN usually takes three years. There was no BSN program in my town so that wasn't a choice. I have no regrets.
Also note not all hospitals pay for a BSN. Most have a cap on their tuition reimbursement that may or may not cover 100% of tuition and books.
But as people say, the entry level positions and pay are equal. So going the RN to BSN route is a perfectly fine way to go. Especially since ADNs are cheaper and quicker.
- 0Jun 14, '07 by caliotter3The ramifications of having an employer responsible for paying for any of your education can be quite daunting should an unforeseen circumstance come up that prevents you from completing your end of the bargain. The possibility of the job not being a good situation is always there. You're stuck. I had a situation like this one time and had to pay the price. I was not happy. I would advise anyone to find out as much as possible beforehand and make their decision accordingly. As far as being faced with acceptances at both BSN and ASN programs, if at all possible, I would, if I were doing it again, choose the BSN program and get it over with.
- 0Jun 14, '07 by jjjoyQuote from caliotter3That's assuming all other things equal.As far as being faced with acceptances at both BSN and ASN programs, if at all possible, I would, if I were doing it again, choose the BSN program and get it over with.
Some programs are very much "hands off", not giving much support to student or lectures tend to be the instructor reading from the text, so the students pretty much teach themselves. Other programs offer more support (tutorials, extra practice tests, etc) or are known for having great instructors. For some, that wouldn't make a difference, but for others that might make the difference between successful completion of the program or having to repeat coursework - and perhaps getting discouraged and giving up.
Some programs include just the minimum of clinical time, high instructor to student ratios and clinical instructors who haven't practiced in the "real world" for a long time. Other programs offer more than the minimum and have a good reputation for preparing students for the "real world." For some, that wouldn't make a difference, but for others, that might make the difference in making the difficult transition to practicing nursing as opposed to feeling hopelessly ill-prepared and giving up.
- 0Jun 18, '07 by NursePruI turned down my acceptance to a BSN program for an ASN program. I had several reasons. I already have a BS in another field, but the accelerated programs are not practical for me since I MUST work at least part-time (no I don't have children, but I do have bills). I plan to go back and get my BSN afterwards, but I want the hospital I'm working for to pay for at least part of it.
I picked the ASN program in my area for the following reasons:
- It's NCLEX pass rate was actually higher than the BSN program I applied to (I know this isn't always the case, but for me it was.)
- The ADN program is closer to home and all of the good BSN programs near me are in the city (paying for parking everyday AND dealing with traffic...not for me!)
- It's going to cost me one years worth of BSN tuition for my whole nursing program (including books and uniforms)!
I could go on...there is always a value in continuing your education, but for me I just want to get in there and be a nurse (and get out of the business world)...then I'll continue my education. Not to mention I'm still paying student loans from my last degree.Last edit by NursePru on Jun 18, '07

Woman moves from public housing to own home
Monday, September 16, 2013
ROCHESTER — Juana Sosa sat at her kitchen counter, comfortable in her new surroundings. Everything around her from the sink to the dining table, are the product of her hard work over seven years. Although she has lived in her new residence for under a month, it already feels like a home she can call her own.
"People don't try to leave because they're comfortable," Sosa said. "You have to work hard."

In the 1970's, Dickie Roberts held the keys to success as a child star with a hit TV series. Now the only keys Dickie holds are the ones that start the customer's cars that he parks as a valet attendant for a Hollywood restaurant. Desparate to revive his acting career, Dickie tries to audition for a role in Rob Reiner's new movie but the director doesn't believe Dickie is normal enough to play the part. Determined to get the role, Dickie hires a "typical" family to give him the real-life upbringing he never had. But once Dickie moves in, the family's life becomes anything but normal as Dickie unleashes his wild inner child...and learns in the process some unforgettable lessons about fame, fortune and family values. Co-starring Mary McCormack, Jon Lovitz, Alyssa Milano and many former child stars including Danny Bonaduce, Barry Williams and Leif Garett.
A thirty-something former child star hires a foster family to re-create the childhood he never had.

The Final Episode begins with only four contestants remaining. Inspired by the industry standard that true A-List celebrities have their pick of lucrative endorsement deals, the final challenge is to make a commercial. Representatives from goldenpalace.net, an online tutorial site for gambling, come to meet the remaining four cast members and give them the tools to make a 30- second commercial for the website. The winning spokesperson is safe from elimination and guaranteed a spot in the final two! The other three must participate in a secret ballot to vote one of the cast members off the show. This sends the house into a frenzy of scheming and backstabbing. It all comes to a head when the losing cast member decides not to leave without a fight... literally! The remaining two must play one more round of "Back to Reality" to see who will face the Commercial Challenge winner in the grand finale where Kathy Griffin, The Queen of the D-list, will decide who deserves to win the $100,000 prize and be invited back to the A-list!

What makes an egg healthy to eat? Supermarket egg cartons have labels spanning from "animal welfare approved" to "vegetarian"—all purportedly bearing different health benefits to influence selection of the brand by consumers.1 Peek under the lid to examine the nutrition in the average egg, which is determined by the USDA's National Agricultural Library.2 The documentation for the research noted wide statistical swings for vitamin D in eggs, and explains "It is likely that this change is due to the fortification of specific feeds given to the laying hens."3
While the USDA acknowledges that the eggs of well-nourished hens are richer in vitamins, the research doesn't stop there. Mother Earth News built upon the government's findings to compare commercial eggs with eggs from pastured chickens. In a series of nationwide tests, pastured eggs contained:
- 1/3 less cholesterol
- 1/4 less saturated fat
- 2/3 more vitamin A
- 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
- 3 times more vitamin E
- 7 times more beta carotene
The article explains the jump in nutrient values: "True free-range birds eat a chicken's natural diet—all kinds of seeds, green plants, insects and worms, usually along with grain or laying mash. Factory farm birds never even see the outdoors, let alone get to forage for their natural diet."4
But what about those "free-range" eggs from the store? The devil is in the details: the U.S. Poultry and Egg Association defines "free range" as follows: Free-range eggs are from hens that live outdoors or have access to the outdoors."5 The definition is dubious at best, given the loose regulations for access to the outdoors. Even in the best battery-chicken scenario, hens must compete with hundreds or thousands of compatriots for access to any wild food available in the limited space and time they are allowed outside.
Fans of backyard eggs will say that you can taste the difference. You can see it, too. Back in 1965, the poultry industry had a PR problem—consumers remembered what healthy egg yolks look like. Foraged hens produce eggs with deep orange yolks, and researchers set out to discover how to mimic the coloration for battery chicken operations.6
Check out these photos comparing "organic" eggs with eggs from pastured hens.7
Backyard hens offer us nutrient-rich eggs with golden yolks, no extra fortification necessary. By being caretakers for a small flock, we can regulate their access to the outside to the satisfaction of our own definitions. And we can help to sustain positive health for our families and friends through the nutritional benefits of small-scale pastured eggs.

Farm Credit East Donates Fresh Produce to Community Food Charities
September 04, 2013 at 11:36 AM
ENFIELD, CONN. — Farm Credit East has always been active in the Northeast agriculture community, but this summer, the financial cooperative's involvement in the local community took a unique approach. Along with participation in county fairs, sponsorships of 4-H chapters and various other activities, the organization has been growing fresh produce to donate to local communities.
"We had two vacant greenhouses in New York, along with the skills and available staff to put these greenhouses into production, so we got to work," said Eric Pohlman, Farm Credit East Vice President. "This has been a great opportunity for us to partner with local organizations and produce food to give back to those in need."
The first greenhouse is located in Newark, N.Y. and the other is in the Utica, N.Y. area. The financial cooperative has been growing swiss chard, watermelon, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, beans, eggplant, lettuce and a few other items to donate back to the community. Approximately 120 pounds of fresh picked produce is currently being distributed per week. Recipients include the Food Bank of Central New York and the Catholic Charities of Wayne County.
"Fresh produce is often difficult for food insecure homes to acquire. Eastern Greenhouse's donations of fresh vegetables help us get nutritious food to the people in our community who need it the most," stated Brian McManus, Perishables Distribution Manager at Food Bank of Central New York.
"It's not every day an organization calls you to say they have a building they want to use to produce food for those in need free of charge," commented Timothy Sullivan, Executive Director of Catholic Charities of Wayne County. "The partnership with Farm Credit East was an opportunity we couldn't pass up. It has enabled us to provide quality, fresh picked produce to our food pantry, as well as to other organizations throughout the community, that we wouldn't have had otherwise."

(Iced) Tea Time
Memorial Day might mark the unofficial start of summer (sorry, folks, the real day isn't till June 21), but we bet you didn't know that June was National Iced Tea Month. Yep, time to celebrate everyone's favorite summer sip. Sure, you've got your usual Iced Tea suspects, like Lipton's, Arizona and Snapple (yum!), but check out these refreshing (and fun!) twists on your old favorite. Serve them up at a party this weekend along with the little tidbit we just taught ya.
Get Twisted
Created by a team of brewmasters who want their hard iced tea to taste like your regular options, Twisted Tea is made from a blend of real teas and lemon. Aside from the original recipe, choose from Twisted Tea Light, Twisted Tea Raspberry and Twisted Tea Backyard Bash.
Long Island Iced Tea is a classic summer drink, er, the cause of many a summer's day hangover. Did you know the drink contains no actual iced tea? We're giving this cocktail the go-ahead anyways. Check out the Food Network's super-easy Long Island Iced Tea recipe.
Add some delish to your usual tea drink with a recipe from Yuri Kato. Kato, author of Japanese Cocktails ($10.17 at Amazon.com), puts a summery spin on iced tea with Chaniwa (FYI: Cha means tea and niwa means garden).
Check out the easy (and delicious) recipe:
1 part Zen Green Tea Liqueur
¼ parts Banana Liqueur
1 part Light Rum
2 Scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream
2 Biscuits Banana Slices for Garnish
Matcha Powder for Garnish
