Coastal cities in Africa are feeling the heaviest impacts of climate-related natural disasters. Within those cities, the urban poor are most deeply affected because of the location of their homes in low-lying, flood-prone areas. Today, governments are turning to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools to help mitigate and, in some instances, prevent the impacts of these disasters. Has your life been impacted?

That is what the anti-Nielsen campaign -- and by that you should think the pro-Dan Logue campaign -- is arguing.
Just this past July, Assemblyman Jim Nielsen was loudly declaring his opposition to the proposed peripheral tunnel/canal around the Delta. He sent out press releases all over about his opposition. Unfortunately for Nielsen, his record makes his position pretty clear in support of the peripheral canal. Now, he would like us to believe that the 2010 $11 billion pork-barrel water bond deal he supported and the canal are two separate issues. They are NOT!
According to both advocates and opposition of the 2010 water bond - the two are one in the same.
Best as I can tell, it is the case that Nielsen -- along with Marin County Democrat Jared Huffman, a legislative leader on environmental causes -- were the only northern votes on the 2009 water deal.
Expect to hear a lot more about this between now and Election Day.

Quality of Life of Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis: Symptoms Result in Severe Physical and Emotional Disability Impairing Normal Daily Life
Martijn W.A. van Geldorp, MD, Helena Heuvelman, MD, A. Pieter Kappetein, MD, PhD, Jan J.V. Busschbach, MD, PhD, Johanna J.M. Takkenberg, Ad J.J.C. Bogers, MD, PhD.
OBJECTIVE: The quality of life of patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis is not often explored while the incidence of the disease is increasing, and many elderly patients who have an indication for aortic valve replacement are denied surgery. We studied the quality of life in patients with severe aortic stenosis, hypothesizing that in symptomatic patients impairment may be more severe than expected, which possibly could enforce the indication for surgery.
METHODS: The SF-36v2 Health Survey was used to analyse the quality of life of 192 patients with symptomatic or asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis. Patients were stratified according to age in three different groups: below 60 years, 61-70 years or higher than 70 years.
RESULTS: Symptomatic patients (n=132) had significantly lower health scores than the general Dutch population in all age groups (please see Figure for results of age group >70). Physical functioning was much lower although bodily pain was comparable to the general population. General health and vitality were also impaired, as well as social functioning, emotional wellbeing and mental health.
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that both physical and emotional problems have major impact on normal daily life and social functioning of symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis. In symptomatic patients, the decision to perform aortic valve replacement should not only be based on expected gain in life-expectancy, but also based on the severely impaired quality of life patients have with conservative treatment. Furthermore, using the SF-36v2 Health Survey together with this study, a patient's quality of life profile can be assessed and compared with the patient group or with the general population. This can help decision making on treatment of the individual patient.

Friendly staff, clean restrooms and shower area. Easy access off I-10. Only complaint is trains run past, sometimes about 6 times/night and are very loud. About 3/4 block to beach. Sites back up to each other, but plenty big. Great WiFi and cable. - traveling
Train noise didn't bother us with air on and windows closed. We just picked the wrong weekend (Labor Day) to be there. Staff super nice. Sites near pool totally odd, no way to figure out one space to another. Laundry very clean and casino's, restaurants and beaches close by. Skipped pool, way too crowded. - Romin2007
This park is sandwiched between a Motel 6 and an adult bar. Sites were grass and sand. Makes a mess every time you go in and out. Can't see beach from site. Did not like site layout. Close and tight. Bathrooms old. Showers need updating. Nice pool, but roads not too good. - cupit

We are spending a month here. We stayed here when the original owners had the park and came back shortly after Katrina to find the park had really declined with the new owners. We decided to try again this year and are pleased. It appears the new management is trying to clean up the appearance. They are on top of all maintenance issues and respond to all problems in a polite, professional, and efficient manner. The laundry room is clean and well maintained. They work to keep the park safe, monitoring the traffic. They still have a few work trucks and poorly maintained campers, but appear to be cleaning that up and upgrading. We believe they are back on the path to being a premier destination park in the future. - Gloriasue99
This park is so overpriced for what they have to offer. We stayed here for a week and did not get a good nights sleep at all because of the trains running all during the night and early morning. The parking for your personal vehicle is bumper to bumper with the vehicle in the site next to you. They do not offer refunds even though they said they had a waiting list of of 25 because of the event Crusin the Coast. Sites occupied by some of the full timers are down right trashy. Do not plan to stay here again. - Tkderouen
Lots of loud trains 75 yards away. Many permanent residents, some quite shabby. Sites are very narrow but because it's not near full there was lots of room. Office gave us incorrect Wi-Fi login info but Sprint cell & hotspot worked very well. This place is way, way, way overpriced, they even charged $20 to wash the rig, tried to get $30!!! Rooftop dish worked well. Paved roads and sites with grass in between. Only reason we stayed here was to visit family nearby. - big greg

The park is clean, easy to get into and the staff is friendly. The sites are level. Negatives - Wi-fi gets overloaded in the evenings and drops off. Lighting is excessive - you can walk the park at night without a flashlight. Most sites have about 10 feet between each other. However, there are a few that sites that have adjoining sites at a 90 degree angle. The back of a Class A was 3 feet from the back corner of my rig. (50 and 51) - jnateg
This is very nice park with wide streets and level, concrete pads. Our pad was barely long enough for our 44' rig, but it was wide enough for the tow car to park beside the rig. While there are palm trees and vegetation between the sites, there were no issues with satellite. Wifi worked well. We did not use any amenities. We would consider staying here again when in the area. - SMorin
We were here for one night attending a dog show at the convention center about 2 miles away. Very nice park with concrete roads and pads, almost plush. Grounds are very clean, and staff is very nice. Residential on one side and self storage units on the other. The front is commercial. It was quiet at night. The only downside is the sites are very close to one another and shade is very limited. We were in a back up space. There is room for your RV and a car, but little else. Most every space had a bench seat that turns into a table. I would definitely stay here again. - skipperbrown

We originally reserved a spot in this RV "Resort" for 4 nights. After parking our RV and looking around, I immediately went to the Office and changed our reservation to only 1 night and asked for a refund of the other nights. They were cooperative with this. How they can call this place "A Resort" is beyond me. The park is filled with many people who live there year round, and do Not maintain their sites or their property. The site next to us was dirty, and a broken-down car with flat tires parked in front of it. The sites are extremely close together, and I definitely did Not feel safe here. If they want to have permanent residents in the park, perhaps they should separate them into "one section" of the park where they can gather their junk and keep their sites as messy as they want. The staff was friendly and cooperative in allowing us to leave after one night, but they need to clean up the park. And Please Note: There is only 1 pull-thru in this RV "Resort" which you can only reserve for one night. - Suzanne R.S.
If we had read the previous review with a rating of 2 we never would have stopped for the night here. Glad we camped here! The office staff was super friendly and we got the pull-through site. Long level site. Other residents very friendly. We saw no loose dogs. Maybe since it was January the seasonal people were not in residence; it is obviously a very busy place in the summer months as it is a membership campground with a lake with paddle boats, a large playground for children, miniature golf, and a pool. We would stay here again if we were in the area. - lstaff
This was the worst RV park experience ever. We paid for two nights and stayed only for one without trying for a reimbursement. The place looks great when you first drive in, but afterwards it is a great disappointment. The roads are very narrow, the sites very small, and you are surrounded by dumpy looking trailers with trash all around them. Two dogs were running loose when we first arrived. There are refugees from junkyards parked in the back. We were accosted by a homeless person chatting us up and telling us her life story. Beware of the golf cart nazi, who gave us dirty looks when we went slightly over the 5mph speed limit, because we had left something on the stove while doing laundry. We felt very uncomfortable and not safe. Cable TV stations were hard to see. Bad reception. - Maribor

Good for an overnight. Sites are long, level, some with shade. Narrow road in, better exit. Cable TV is included, Wi-Fi is for a fee. - wilpower
Level, long, all amenities. The electric pedestal was not of sufficient height to allow the use of my power cord surge protector. I had to remove my surge protector and plug in - discomforting. Otherwise an OK overnight facility. - MaryAnnFrederick
Crowded park. Mostly permanent residents from all appearances. Pull-through site was fairly level but covered with ant beds. We had to spray them with bug spray so we could step out to walk our dog. This park looks old and tired with no amenities but it is close to the interstate so it is easy to find. Not too much road noise, but the interstate traffic could be heard. Wi-Fi was acceptable but cable hookup was fuzzy. - SarahW

This park has many pull through full hookup sites. Also a good number of sites are taken by workers in the area for long periods of time. Restrooms and showers were very good and clean. Owners were very helpful and accessible. This is not a destination campground, great for a night or two for exploring the area. - Teacher's Pet
Nice, quiet, small, clean CG. The owners are super nice and helpful. Pull-through site was gravel and level. Lots of cable channels, and Wi-Fi worked well. Easy on/off I-10. Rate reflects GS discount. Would stay here again. - Gayle E.
WiFi is free, the park is your typical parking lot type campground but is very nice and quiet. The park is better suited for folks passing by for the night. They have the cheapest weekly ($162.50) and monthly ($400) rates I could find in Biloxi. I will stay here again but if I want to be close to the beach I will choose another park. The only nitpick I have is in the bathrooms (great overall) the men's toilet is to close to the wall and you can't sit straight on it. Plus the toilet paper dispenser is to low, if they move it up it would be better. - rrichar1

This is more like a fish camp. If you are big, site #64 is really the only "Kind'a Pull Thru" that will easily accommodate you. A lot, even most, are permanent residents or long term RVers. Some nice, some scary. We were tired and it was late and they took great care of us, such nice folks, but we would not stay here again. Our rig is 45' long. - fulltimer 2
Easy freeway access, and close enough to Biloxi attractions. Sites level, but tight. Several long-term residents with junk left outside. Pet rules apparently not enforced - cats running loose and barking dog tied up outside with no owner in sight. I ended up walking my dogs on the road outside the park. Might be OK if you're here to fish - some sites on Parker's Creek, but we would not stay here again. - FranM
What a disappointment this place was. We selected this park upon reviewing previous reviews, and were surprised by the condition of the sites. Cable good, Wi-Fi okay, roads rough and narrow, muddy off pavement of site (little grass and lots of black sticky mud). Pool, though probably closed for the winter months, was green with slime, and so tiny it could be called a children's back yard splashing pool, one of the blow-up type. Staff was friendly and helpful. Close to I-10, which was a plus for us on the way to join a caravan in New Orleans. Lots of over hanging trees, which dropped acorns or something like them on our roof when it wasn't raining. The camp is old and looks it, with several spaces taken by live-ins who did not care about their appearance--trashy, with lots of junk surrounding their trailers . Not very impressive. The water front sites, not many of them, have a great view of the river. We camped here in a 34 foot rig, and would only stay here again if no where else to go. Note: Lots of traffic noise from I-10, but didn't bother us with the coach closed up. - Darfantin

Dirty and the sites are not well laid out. Many, many full time residents. Trashy looking. We were sticking out into the roadway. They could not accommodate the size of our 40 foot rig. We paid for 5 days then found another place. They would not refund our money. - Newbet
First week of stay we discovered management problems with employees. Very poor management never keep advertised office hours. Very difficult to contact with problems. Every other hookup was on the wrong sides. Outdated electrical plug ins. Tent people living in back. Witness excessive use of alcohol of tent people. Nightly parties way past curfew times. Homeless people breaking through back gate to shower. Frequent visits by local police due to suspected drug use. Men and women's shower room share the same pass code, that we were told had been the same for more than two years. Manager's space across from office now occupied by "new" managers, (third ones since our stay) in an extremely old camper with home window unit sticking out the side. Also heavy drinkers and suspicion of drug (crack) use. Felt very unsafe: no place for children. Worse campground in Biloxi. For your safety PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE!! So very sad to give the beautiful town and beachs of Biloxi such a bad name. - 1766 unhappy camper
Traveling in an Aliner pop up, the restroom and shower facilities are very important. This site has large restroom shower facilities that are clean. They need a little updating and maintenance but are good overall. The camp has a lot of Katrina evacuees still living in FEMA trailers. There are quite a few shady characters in the area where they put me. I was flanked on each side by tent campers. One of them was a long term tent camper and his site looks like a trash heap. The site on the other side was occupied by a woman and a dog and it too looked pretty sad. A train track goes right by the campground so the ground shakes when a train goes by. The noise is too much to sleep through. You can walk to the beach as it is just across the road. Be aware, this area was completely destroyed by Katrina but did not make the news like New Orleans. There are a lot of parking lots without buildings. This place is coming back but very slowly because it is not on the news like New Orleans. Very little FEMA money made it here, so praise be to those who are trying to make a comeback on their own. All the businesses and houses are new so in time this place will look great. Not a place to bring kids as this is a casino town. Lots of shady characters around. Saw a female working the street right outside the RV park. Beach is not pristine like Florida beaches. - aliner man

Press Release from Senator John Carona
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEDecember 14, 2011Contact: (512) 463-0116
During the 2011 Regular Session, the Legislature passed redistricting plans for the State Board of Education, the Texas Senate and the Texas House of Representatives, and during the First Called Special Session, the Legislature passed a plan for Texas' U.S. congressional districts. Each of the legislatively-drawn plans can be accessed for viewing at District Viewer (select "Base Plans", then select "Category: District Plans Enacted by the 82nd Legislature, 2011"). My September 2011 Email Update outlined the process for the state's implementation of the plans, some of which is repeated here along with an update on the current status of the process.
Since Texas is covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, redistricting plans are required to go through a process called "preclearance" before they can be implemented. The preclearance process gives consideration to whether an election change may negatively impact voting rights on the basis of race, color or language group. This process requires submission of all election changes (in this case, redistricting plans) to either the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) or the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (D.C. Court) for approval.
On July 19, 2011, the Texas Attorney General submitted Texas' four redistricting plans to the D.C. Court asking for a declaratory judgment validating the plans under Section 5. The DOJ, which is a party to the suit, objected to preclearance of the Congressional plan and the plan for the Texas House of Representatives on the basis that the plans violated Section 5. The DOJ did not object to preclearance of the Senate and State Board of Education plans. On September 22, 2011, the D.C. Court pre-cleared the State Board of Education plan making it effective immediately. However, on November 4, 2011, the D.C. Court denied a motion for summary judgment filed by the state asking for a similar declaration on the Senate, House and Congressional plans. As a result of the D.C. Court's denial of the motion, preclearance of these plans will be determined by a trial during which the D.C. Court will consider the evidence of the parties, including the DOJ. The trial has been set to take place during the week of January 17-26, 2012.
In addition to preclearance hurdles, legal challenges to Texas' redistricting plans have been filed in various courts across the state. The suits have been brought by individuals, candidates for office, officeholders and organizations representing various interest groups. All of the cases were consolidated for trial in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division (San Antonio Court). For the most part, the challenges allege the plans violate the Voting Rights Act by negatively impacting minority voting rights under Section 2 of the Act. Section 2 prohibits a state from using any "standard, practice or procedure," including a redistricting plan, "which results in denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color or membership in a protected language minority group." A three-judge panel presided over a ten-day trial of the cases, which concluded on Friday, September 16, 2011 (one late filed case will be tried at a later date). The San Antonio Court has decided that it will not issue an opinion in any of the Section 2 cases until the conclusion of the preclearance trial in the D.C. Court. This may be because any plan that is not precleared by the D.C. Court must be redrawn by the San Antonio Court. Waiting for the results of the preclearance case will allow the San Antonio Court to address all voting rights issues, if any, together.
The unfortunate result of all this is that there is no certainty about where district lines will be drawn for the Congressional, Texas House and Texas Senate districts, nor will there be until, at the earliest, after the preclearance trial in the D.C. Court has concluded. For this reason, the San Antonio Court issued an order adopting "interim" redistricting plans that were intended to be used in the upcoming election. Links to the interim plans can be found on the Texas Redistricting homepage. In response to the order, the Texas Attorney General, representing the state, filed a request with the United States Supreme Court to stay implementation of the interim plans. In conjunction with the request, the state also asked the Supreme Court to reverse the San Antonio Court's order implementing the interim plans and remand the case back to the San Antonio Court with instructions to retry the case on an expedited basis and issue revised interim plans. On December 9, the Supreme Court temporarily granted the stay and set a hearing for January 9, 2012. As a result of the stay, the Attorney General requested that the San Antonio Court stay all deadlines and requirements related to the upcoming elections, including requirements related to the March primary elections. The hearing on this request was held on Tuesday, December 13 during which the San Antonio Court imposed a candidate filing deadline of December 19 with the caveat that the filing period would be reopened if necessary when interim districts are determined. The San Antonio Court indicated that proposed changes to the dates for conducting primary elections will be considered at a later time.
As I mentioned in the September 2011 Email Update, the term of office for a senator is four years, which means that senators run for office in alternating two-year election cycles. However, this time, because redistricting will create new districts, candidates for all 31 Senate districts, including myself in District 16, will be on the ballot. Even though there is a possibility that District 16 could change again as a result of the preclearance process or ongoing legal challenges to the plan, I filed for re-election in the District on Monday, November 28, and I continue to conduct my re-election campaign on the assumption that the newly-drawn Senate District 16 will not significantly change.

Digital automatic microphone mixers
With an intuitive user interface, numerous DSP functions and high signal to noise ratio (S/N), the DMM series provides high-quality automatic mixing technology. DMM12 offers 12 inputs, while easily adjusting the mic to line level. Its four line outputs (2x stereo) are individually assignable for each input. The stereo record outputs are individually assignable, while the headphone out port allows users to listen to each input and output individually. DMM6 offers six inputs and two line outputs at 1x stereo. When in use, all inputs are active, but attenuated to a level that equals the level of one active microphone. If two or more inputs receive relevant input signals, their amplification is increased to a level, which allows overall output to equal one active microphone, resulting in an absolute feedback-stable system.

Slick Savings - How to remove?
What is Slick Savings?
Slick Savings is an adware program that can be installed to random computers together with other programs from the Internet. The application is responsible for displaying tons of ads with offers and discounts on the infected computer. Basically, it offers you checking some prices comparisons, for example, when you are visiting shopping websites like Amazon, Ebay and some others. The pop ups say to be brought by Slick Savings.
You may think that it is quite nice to get some discounts or offers while shopping. However, if you actually deal with Slick Saving, you will understand how annoying it is. The program will be displaying tons of pop ups every time you browse the Internet. If you click on these messages, it will redirect you to some websites which is really annoying and also you can get infected in case it reroutes you to some malicious ones.
Slick Saving not only advertises some websites, services and products, but it also collects information about your browsing habbits, search queries and websites you are visiting. This data can be very useful for marketing purposes, especially, displaying targeted advertisements in future. Slick Saving is not considered to be a virus, but it definitely contributes to posing to a risk of getting your computer infected with malware.
Remove Slick Saving as soon as you detect it on your PC as it will only bring many problems for you. Below we provide removal instructions that explain every step you have to do to eliminate this malicious program:
- Scan your computer using antimalware program that removes adware and browser hijackers, for example, Spyhunter.
- Go to Control Panel -> Add and Remove Programs -> Check is there are any unfamiliar applications related to Slick Savings. If you see any, remove them. It is also recommended to remove any other applications installed on the same day.
- Remove the toolbar from all of Internet browsers:
- o For Internet Explorer: Go to "Tools" (or gear icon in Internet Explorer 9), -> "Manage Add-ons". Search for Slick Savings. If you find any entries, disable them.
- o For Google Chrome: Click on the wrench or bars icon on the top right of the screen; go to "Tools"-> "Extensions". If you see any extensions related to Slick Savings, click on a trash can icon next to them.
- o For Mozilla Firefox: Go to "Tools" -> "Add-ons" ->; "Extensions". If you see any extensions related to Slick Savings, disable them.
- Check if your home page and default search engine are changed to the one you always used. If you see any unfamiliar addresses, replace it with your own, e.g. google.com.
Automatic Slick Savings removal tools
Manual Slick Savings removal
Important Note: Although it is possible to manually remove Slick Savings, such activity can permanently damage your system if any mistakes are made in the process, as advanced spyware parasites are able to automatically repair themselves if not completely removed. Thus, manual spyware removal is recommended for experienced users only, such as IT specialists or highly qualified system administrators. For other users, we recommend using Spyhunter or other tools found on 2-viruses.com.
It is impossible to list all file names and locations of modern parasites. You can identify remaining parasites, other Slick Savings infected files and get help in Slick Savings removal by using Spyhunter scanner.

Sultan Muhammad Dipatuan Kudarat
Sultan Qudarat, the son of Kapitan Laut Buisan and was known to the Spaniards as Corralat and to some Dutch writers as Guserat, was the seventh Sultan of Maguindanao. In 1619-1621, there was war between Buayan and Maguindanao, probably dynastic or a contest for primacy in the Pulangi. Qudarat must have been involved in this war for not long after a temporary reversal, he appears as exercising some political power over Buayan. Furthermore, he must have consolidated his power well enough after this to enable him to attack Sarangani in 1625. He died at the end of 1671 after having ruled for about half a century. His rule, with varying fortunes and at different capitals, can, therefore, be fairly estimated to have taken place from 1619 to 1671. By 1645, he was already using the title of "sultan". As a young man he was entitled "Katchil." His regal name was Qudratullah, which denoted that the bearer's power came from God. His great grandchildren referred to him as Nasir ud-Din.

Dear Girls -- Here's Why Nasty Old Religious Men Are Terrified of You
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Dear Girls,
You are powerful beyond words, because you threaten to unravel the control of corrupt men who abuse their authority.
In the United States last week there were people who wouldn't let boys play a baseball championship final because a girl was on the opposing team. She'd already had to sit out two games because of their demands. Why? Did she, a competitive athlete and a member of her team, chose to? Was she being good and respectful when she acceded to their demands? Why were they not asked to forfeit their games? What messages were sent to her and her teammates? This is not complicated. It sent the wrong messages. Confusing messages. Incoherent messages. You need to know that she should have been allowed to play and not have had to sit out two games. These people, and others like them, all over the world, led exclusively by religious men, are scared of you and will not let you be. You worry them constantly.
If you were not powerful, they would not take you so seriously and they take you very, very seriously. You should, too. You can set the world on fire.
It doesn't feel this way, I know. If that were true, you think, I would not have to sit out baseball games out of respect for religious beliefs that require my subservience and call it a gift. I would not be turned away from serving God with my brothers. I would not be taught that I'm an evil temptress or the virtue keeper of boys. I would not have virginity wielded as a weapon against me and my worth determined by my womb. I would not be spat on and called a whore by men when I am eight because my arms are bare. I would not be poisoned for going to school. I would not be forced, at the age of 9, to carry twins borne of child torture. I would not have to kill myself to avoid marrying my rapist. If this were true, they would pursue my rapists instead of stoning me for their crimes. I, and thousands others, would not be killed for "honor."
Girls, these things happen because there are men with power who fear you and want to control you. I know that I have equated relatively benign baseball games with deadly, honor killings but, whereas one is a type of daily, seemingly harmless micro-aggression and the other is a lethal macro-aggression they share the same roots. The basis of both, and escalating actions in between, is the same: To teach you, and all girls subject to these men and their authority, a lesson: "Know your place." I also know that there are places where girls are marginalized and hurt that are not religious. But all over the world these hypocritical, pious men, in their shamefully obvious wrongness, represent the sharp-edged tip of an iceberg, the visible surface of a deep and vast harm. They employ the full range of their earthly and divine influence to make sure, as early as possible, that you and the boys around you understand what they want your relative roles to be. Where there are patriarchal religions girls, in dramatically varying and extreme degrees, disproportionately suffer. Understand these men for what they are: bullies. Do not internalize what they would have you believe.
Your very existence makes them anxious. And their anxiety is particularly high because you have something no generation of girls has had before -- globally connected communities of men and women who support your equality and freedom. Like guns, germs and steel, this transformative technology, which enables me to write to you here, alters geography, changes societies and dismantles systems of control -- it makes the world a smaller place and it creates, even if slowlyin some places, positive change for girls like you. You see, until now, these men could count on, indeed they could ensure, that you and the women around you were house-bound and isolated. Many of you still are. But now, there are millions and millions and millions people who are thinking about you and challenging these men every single day. You have the speed of light on your side and unless someone permanently turns the lights out, those days are gone. So, although you might feel like you are alone, you are not.

Tamales | Only 2 Net Carbs!!!!
Before I could share this recipe with YOU, I had to test it out on my Dad, after all he is where I get my Mexican heritage from. I called him earlier in the day to tell him I had a special dinner prepared for him. I knew, if my low carb tamales passed his taste test, then they are most definitely blog worthy. He polished off a plate of three tamales along with some Mexi "cauli" rice giving it two thumbs up! That my friends, means a lot to me as he grew up eating authentic Mexican food. Special shout out to my Dad who is following my directive and eating low-carb. He lost 10 lbs. in just four short weeks. I am proud of you DAD!
5 Easy Steps to Making Tamales
Follow these steps and your tamales will come together without a hitch.
Step 1. Masa or Corn "Dough"
Traditional masa or tamale dough is made from masa harina, which just means corn flour. Some Mexican markets sell fresh masa as well. We are using neither as both are higher in carbohydrates than I would prefer. While the tamale filling and sauce are simply healthy protein, fats and a little vegetable matter, the masa was needing "healthifying". In order to reduce the carbs, which, by the way, I was able to significantly, I had to devise a dough that tasted similar using something other than corn flour. Imagine my surprise while wandering Whole Foods, when I stumbled on Native Forest Organic Cut Baby Corn. Not only is the can BPA-free, the corn Non-GMO, the whole shebang is <8 g carbs! The recipe as written makes enough masa for one dozen tamales. Incidentally, each tamale is 2 g net carbs, woot, woot!
Low-Carb Masa
1. Drain corn.
2. In food processor or Vitamix, process corn until no chunks appear.
3. Scrape corn mush into medium mixing bowl.
4. With a spoon, mix in sifted coconut flour as well as spices and then finally lard.
5. Refrigerate masa until ready for use.
Step 2. Meat Filling
While there are many different variations of tamale filling, my grandmother preferred shredded pork shoulder with ancho chile sauce. I regularly make pork shoulder roasts, as Carnitas are a staple meal around here. If you don't regularly cook shoulder roast, you've got a couple options for how to do so. My preferred method is in the pressure cooker. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can use a Crock-Pot as well as the oven. However, be prepared, these two methods take several more hours. If the shoulder roast is cooked properly, you will be able to shred easily with a fork. This will make enough filling for one dozen tamales with plenty leftover to accompany your morning eggs or atop a bed of lettuce taco salad style, minus the chips.
Pork Shoulder Roast
Add water to Crock-Pot. Do not trim or cut roast, instead place whole roast in Crock-Pot, cover and cook on low 8 hours.
Oven Method
Add water to a casserole dish Do not trim or cut roast, instead place whole roast in dish, cover and cook at 275°F for 8 hours.
Pressure Cooker
Add trivet to bottom of pressure cooker along with water and then the steamer basket. Trim roast, cut into large chunks and place in steamer basket. Cover cooker, bring to high pressure then reduce temperature and cook for 50 minutes. Remove pressure cooker from heat source and release pressure.
Step 3. Soften Corn Husks
Corn husks are easy to find in the Mexican section of your local grocer. They will cost you about $5 for a bag large enough to make several batches of tamales. The corn husks are softened in hot water, making them pliable enough to wrap your tamale in. It is best to start soaking the corn husks while you are working on your ancho chile sauce. It's real simple, count out your corn husks plus a few extras and put in a large stock pot. Cover with hot water and place on burner at medium-high heat. We're not boiling the husks, just keeping the water hot and the husks softening. The husks will float to the top of the water, so weigh it down with a plate or a lid smaller than your pot. The husks should be soft and pliable in about 30 minutes or so.
Step 4. Sauce
Ancho chile sauce is what my grandmother used to flavor the shredded pork. It gives it a lovely red hue as well as heat. I enjoy a little heat in my Mexican dishes, but if I want my kids or husband to enjoy them, I have to keep it to a simmering. This sauce is quite mild as written, however if you want to turn it up a notch or so, just add more of the reserved seeds.
Ancho Chile Sauce
1. Remove stem and seeds from peppers by simply slicing across the top and down the middle.
2. Reserve some of the seeds to add back in for "heat".
3. Place peppers in small saucepan and cover with water.
4. Bring to boil and then remove from heat. Let sit 15 minutes.
5. Add softened peppers, spices and 1 cup of soaking water to blender and process until smooth.
6. Sprinkle in 1/8 tsp. of seeds, process and test for heat.
7. Pour sauce back into saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes.
8. Remove from heat and whisk in olive oil.9. Pour sauce over cooked and shredded pork. Mix thoroughly.
Step. 5 Assembly & Steaming
Let's do a quick recap before the final step of assembly and steaming. At this point, your masa should be in the refrigerator, the pork is cooked, shredded and swimming in sauce. The corn husks are softening in hot water and you are now starving! Let's assemble. First things first, remove corn husks from water one at a time and gently dry off with a towel. Spread with masa, fill with meat, fold and place in steamer or pressure cooker seam side down. You could also stand on end and tie each tamale closed with strands of corn husk. Steam for 45 minutes or pressure cooker for 15 minutes.
OMG, Vanessa, my jaw is down on the floor. OUTSTANDING pics! And what a creative recipe. I was wondering if the baby corn pureed for cornbread recipes would work in this application. VOILA! You did it! I'm going to print this out, but usually won't go to the trouble to do tamales. But I may just have to break that life-long kitchen tendancy and try these. WE LOVE tamales!
Oh, I could kiss you right now! That looks fantastic.
Do you have the full nutri info on those? We are counting calories as well as carbs these days so would love that info! Thanks Vanessa!
And if it's not TOO much trouble - can you break out the masa info separately? I think I'd like to make a green chile/chicken filling too!
Thanks. I Love tamales!!!!!!
OMGoodness ! Simply amazing Vanessa. I'm thrilled I love tamales. Thank You for sharing what looks like a great recipe. I can't wait to make these.
All I can say is WOW!!
Yum, I'm placing my order for a dozen righ now. :)
So I have been a lurker since november and you got me out of the lurker closet just to say... I love you and so will my tamale addicted husband!
Can I place my order here too,I'll just come for an extended visit....lol
this looks amazing, and I agree, if you could split out the masa for a count? I'd like to experiment with this for cornbread... VERY CLEVER!!! :high5:
:love: right back at YOU all!
I don't normally calculate nutritional information for my recipes.....as I don't count or track anything personally. However, I'll make an exception this time ;). I'll even go out a few decimal places for those "A" types, like me! Here's what I came up with using ******:
Low-Carb Masa Whole Recipe/Per Tamale
Calories 548.1 / 45.675
Fat 35.3 g / 2.94 g
Carbs 55.3 g / 4.6 g
Fiber 35.2 g / 2.9 g
Protein 19.9 g / 1.65 g
Tamale w/2 oz. Pork Filling & Ancho Chile Sauce
Calories 196.18
Fat 12.9 g
Carbs 5.675 g
Fiber 3.31 g
Net Carbs 2.365 g
Protein 16 g
WOWWA and thanks for doing that!
Boy that is NOT bad at all - the regular tamales we like are in the neighborhood of 350 cals each, IIRC.
Will try these soon and again thanks, Vanessa! :hugs:
These look AWESOME! Good thing I am going to the store tomorrow, I know what is going on my list!
Wowzer Vanessa thanks for doing that . I haven't had a tamale in 20 + years.
It's raining right now but I will be getting this corn very soon.
Vanessa I'm making 3 flavors of candy using your frosting recipe. As soon as I'm done I'll make a thread. So many thanks for that one.
I have not touched tamales because I knew they were too high in everything for me, and too hard to figure out how to make them. But Vanessa, you have broken this down so even I could make these and so low in everything, thank you! :clap:
Tilly, I don't have a recipe but what I have in mind to do is take some cooked chicken breasts and shred the meat (and I may laze out and start with a Costco rotisseried chicken) and then mix it with some green tomatillo salsa and/or some LaVictoria green enchilada sauce, taste, and season - probably garlic and onion powders, a little cumin if it needs it, maybe some minced fresh cilantro.
That will all be pretty low cal along with low in carbs so I think it will work!
Is it possible to use something besides lard in the masa? Would coconut oil (unflavoured) work?
Amazing recipe!
I've used non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening in my masa before (high carb days!) and it works fine, but man the lard gives it such a good flavor. Just sayin'.
I just read about lard on that online encyclopedia that is so popular. That is interesting reading.
Your blog Vanessa
Is a thing of beauty. I love your photography.
Your recipe instructions are clear and concise.
Well the tamales are drool worthy. I've thought about
making the masa with Mexican LC hominy. Is the brand of baby corn
critical to the recipe? How about the coconut flour?
This week pork shoulder is on sale as well as whole body
chickens. Thanks so much.
I don't know about the bacon fat - it might be a bit soft? Perhaps Vanessa can let us both know what she thinks about it! :)
Where is the place to purchase the non-hydrogenated lard?
The tamales look wonderful. Being a Texas girl, I do love Spanish food.
The brands of coconut flour and baby corn are not crucial.....they are just MY preferred brands.
I know of no other way to make tamales than to use LARD. It imparts flavor and texture. Could you use something other than lard, be my guest to experiment. Will they taste the same, probably not. Doesn't mean they won't be good. My Mexican grandmother used lard to cook everything and I mean everything. Then the food industry had to go and ruin it by hydrogenation. Steer clear of hydrogenated lard, it equals trans fats. Where do you find NON-hydrogenated lard? Do a Google search and see what you can come up with in your area. My local food co-op has fresh lard weekly.
OMG!!! These look delicious. Your ancho chile sauce sounds lovely. I make pulled pork all the time and I am going to try it out. :yummy:
Ok Vanessa I have questions. I have the corn.
But I also got LC Mexican hominy. I'm a East coast Northern girl by birth. So what is hominy and can I use it in this recipe? Tried to ask DH what it was. Needless to say he just told me that southern people ate it. So please help. I've heard Barbo talk about it but I don't know what it is. TIA
Essy, here is an explanation
Hominy refers to corn kernels without their germ and their hull, or bran. The germ and hull might be removed by soaking the corn in a special type of solution or by crushing the kernels and then sifting out the germ and hull. This food can be served whole or ground, and it can be served as a cereal or as a vegetable. It also can be pressed into patties and fried. This dish is especially popular in the southern United States.
I've made tortillas with a combo of ground hominy and baby corn. They turned out pretty well. Further testing showed that the hominy itself yielded a better-tasting end result and not as fragile as the combo of the two.
We love posole, which is a Mexican-flavored, brothy soup that has hominy and meat (I make either chicken or pork) and seasonings, then you add the goodies at the table. I fill a big bowl half full of the posole, then add shredded cabbage, sliced radishes, green onions, chopped fresh cilantro and minced Serrano peppers, diced avocado, then squeeze some lime juice overall - stir and eat. DH says it's like getting soup and salad all in one bowl! :laugh:
Thanks Charski and Vanessa. I'm still a little confused but you both helped.:stars:
I got organic corn . My garden is all organic. So with all my allergies I have to eat organic and grass fed meats.
I'm ready to make my tamales and I can't wait. This is thrilling.
Charski you are super, your explanation is great.
Wish me luck.

Send us a message
Born and bred in Wales' City by the sea, it is a particular
privilege for me to welcome you to the iconic Dragon Hotel, one of
the cornerstones of post-war Swansea City.
With the hard work and dedication of our mostly local team, many
of whom with over 30 years of service here, the hotel has won
Tourism Swansea Bay's 'Best Large Hotel in Swansea Bay' accolade
twice in recent years. We are also as passionate about supporting
local produce and suppliers now as when we opened our doors back in
It is with much pride that I also introduce you to the delights
of the city and its environs. Swansea Bay is truly a
destination that offers a little of everything, from award-winning
natural riches such as the Gower Peninsula, the UK's first
designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to an industrial
heritage of gritty historical significance; from a vibrant
nightlife and top of the range sport facilities to world famous
cultural festivals and highly acclaimed academic opportunities.
The city boasts the largest indoor market, the oldest museum
and the tallest building in Wales and is the birthplace of poet and
playwright Dylan Thomas, who once famously described Swansea 'an
ugly, lovely town', succinctly portraying the areas duality.
Despite graduating with a law degree, it is that kitchen porter
job at the age of 13 that developed my career. The industry
has taken me to Australia and the USA before returning to my home
town and to The Dragon Hotel in 2005. Having found a
Salvadorian husband, Antonio, along the way, our family is complete
with 6 year old Maya and 2 year old Jonathan, and between the three
languages that are spoken at home, there is never a quiet moment to
be had.
The Dragon Hotel, eich cartref oddi cartref!

While many consumers' current interaction with robots is limited to those that clean their floors, pools, or gutters, ABI Research, in its market study "Personal Robotics," forecasts that the personal robotics market will grow to more than $19 billion in 2017, driven in large part by sales of telepresence and security robots featuring high-quality cameras, microphones, and processors that allow the robots to serve as interactive substitutes for human beings.
The modern robotics market has existed for nearly 30 years, but within the last decade, substantial improvements in overall functionality, levels of control, and cost structures have been achieved. While many of the advancements in robotics have been achieved in military and industrial markets where higher amounts of spending have allowed the development and commercialization of highly technical, yet costly, robots, many of the lessons learned are quickly trickling down to other market segments, including healthcare, business and commercial markets, and personal robotic devices.
Larry Fisher, research director of NextGen, ABI Research's emerging technologies research incubator, notes that, "Robotics vendors are beginning to introduce telepresence robots which allow the user to have a virtual presence in another location, saving business users travel time and expenses. For consumers, telepresence robots can help shut-ins join family events, or allow families to monitor and interact with the elderly or infirm in a way that a quick telephone call can't match."
To date, Fisher notes, the most successful market segments in personal robotics have been the vacuum cleaner market and the entertainment market. "While a truly 'killer app' has yet to emerge in personal robots, security/telepresence and healthcare-related applications are likely to gain significant traction by the end of the forecast period."
"Personal Robotics" explains how communication and mobility technologies enable the functions of personal robots. It presents forecasts for both shipments and revenues for each category of personal robot and for their major components. The study also analyzes the vendor landscape.

I've looked at some old posts here and don't see this addressed and
I've looked at some burr coffee grinders and I do have a question,
Are there any burr coffee grinders that the ground coffee is actually
dispensed into a resealable bowl/jar? Or are they all the type where
the coffee is ground on top of the machine and then you have to dump
it into a resealable jar? The big commercial grinders like you see in
the grocery stores the beans are dumped in the top, the bag is placed
under the spout at the bottom and ground beans are dispensed into your
bag. That's what I would like to have in my kitchen but of course in
a home grinder size.
Is there such a machine?

CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
The human genetic variant carbonic anhydrase I (CA I) Michigan 1 results from a single point mutation that changes His 67 to Arg in a critical region of the active site. This variant of the zinc metalloenzyme appears to be unique in that it possesses an esterase activity that is specifically enhanced by added free zinc ions. We have determined the three-dimensional structure of human CA I Michigan 1 by X-ray crystallography to a resolution of 2.6 A. In the absence of added zinc ions, the mutated residue, Arg 67, points out of the active site, hydrogen bonding with the carboxylate of Asn 69. This contrasts with the orientation of His 67, in the native isozyme, which points into the active site. The orientations of His 94, His 96, and His 119, that coordinate the catalytic zinc ion, and of the catalytically critical Thr 199-Glu 106 hydrogen bonding system, are largely unchanged in the mutant. The structure of an enzyme adduct with a second zinc bound was determined to a resolution of 2.0 A. The second zinc ion is coordinated to His 64, His 200, and Arg 67. This arginine residue reverses its orientation on zinc binding and turns into the active site. The residues at these three positions have been implicated in determining the specific kinetic properties of native CA I. This is, to our knowledge, the first example of a zinc ion coordinating with an arginine residue in a Zn(II) enzyme.

Get out to vote Tuesday
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 11-06-2012 - 8:26am
Well, get out unless you've already done so. I really wanted to vote absentee but you have to have a legitimate reason here, other than poll place phobia which I have. I'm bringing my son with me today so he can see how it all works for when he can vote. Although, he'll most likely be voting absentee the next four years at least.
I'm heading out for a run soon w/ friends. It's gotten cold here suddenly and is in the 30's. I'm not ready for it yet. It was in the 80's two weeks ago!
|Tue, 11-06-2012 - 3:03pm
It was surprisingly busy where I vote, too. There are two locales and while they had people directing you where to go, they really needed to have a big sign. I stood in line before realizing I was in the wrong one (didn't see the other because it was so short!).
Congrats first on the pregnancy--you'll be a grandmother again! And, good job on the pull ups. That is so impressive! Hey, you should find an aerial silks class. I'll bet you'd be awesome at it. I'm getting better at pull ups but tried one w/ hanging legs the other day and got stuck. I think it's a neuromuscular thing but who knows.
|Tue, 11-06-2012 - 2:59pm
Ha, what I love about my job is that I get all the senior executives, presidents, etc and get to make them do burpees and push ups. It's power.
|Tue, 11-06-2012 - 11:11am
I just got back from voting and I'm really surprised at how busy the polls were. I have never had to wait in line and there was a line at my polling place.
First, Gym, sorry I didn't get here to reply yesterday. The tech teams are working sporadically and things were kind of odd yesterday. We are hoping to see some major changes this week so fingers crossed.
Second-big news. My daughter who has been married for 6 weeks is 5 weeks pregnant. I promise I did teach my kids about birth control! lol They just love family life and want families of their own. I am excited though I wish she would have waited a bit longer.
My arms are so sore from the workout challenge this past week. 100 pull ups. I had to do them with assistance but finished. It feels very good to say I did 100 pull ups (even if I had to have help!)
The group project meeting I was in charge of went fantastically! I can't believe how smooth the whole meeting went. I am hoping it's a big fat A for me!
Hahaha-I am feeling good today!

Ugh...infinite loop trying to reply. software bugs. aaaarrrggghhh.
I am trying to get out of the house. So much work! Yoga this morning, work today, dinner program tomorrow night, and then, the following night, I was one of four employees chosen to have dinner with a senior vp...he wants a "pulse" on what is working and not working. Ugh. I think this is just an honorable mentioned event...do the higher ups really want to know the truth? I say, "no." My plan is to sprinkle in the truth, and play it by ear - if he probes for further clarification, well, then, he wants to know. I was told I should have a solution ready, as well. OMG. Anxiety. The dinner program tomorrow night is enough anxiety - making sure all of my high level customers goes is key.
Ok, ciao. gotta run...after work, gotta get the nails did, too. :P
|Tue, 11-06-2012 - 8:39am
Really? You can't do a mail in vote without a good reason? I started early voting in the last election and it's definitely the way to go. What I would really love is to vote online so I'd have a copy (or access to a copy) of how I voted. With so many local propositions, it's hard to remember to how I voted on certain things (mostly things about which I do not feel strongly).
I did an interval cardio workout this morning and I've got two clients later on today. We're having a little election party this evening. Keeping my fingers crossed... :)

One of the keys to a growing economy is a skilled workforce prepared to advance along career pathways and help businesses succeed.
In December 2011, Governor Kitzhaber initiated an effort to redesign the systems and services that help Oregon's businesses find and grow their workforce and help Oregonians become employed and advance along career pathways. This redesign effort is designed to achieve three goals:
1. Oregonians have the skills needed to fill current and emerging high-wage, high-demand jobs2. Businesses have the skilled workforce to support future growth3. An aligned workforce system provides integrated services and makes the most efficient possible use of resources
