Barefoot Bloggers: Herbed-Baked EggsAuthor: swampkitty05 // Category: Food Blogging Event, Food Porn, Recipes
I love the idea of blogging events that use authors or chefs for inspiration, where everyone does the same recipe and compares notes at the end. I did Daring Bakers for quite a while, and still do Tuesdays with Dorie regularly, but since those two events focus on baking/desserts, I never really get to enjoy the fruits of my labors. That's why I was so excited when someone started the Barefoot Bloggers event, where every two weeks, a group of people get together and cook one of the recipes of Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa.
This week's recipe was Herbed-Baked Eggs, which is something I've been wanting to try for a while. I can never have enough egg recipes, and this one is a keeper. The only problem I ran into is that even after 6 minutes of broiling the eggs were still a bit underdone, so I needed to increase the time by a minute or two. The flavor was incredible, and I think I'm going to put this recipe into my regular rotation.
Herbed-Baked Eggs
recipe courtesy Ina Garten
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
6 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toasted French bread or brioche, for serving
Preheat the broiler for 5 minutes and place the oven rack 6 inches below the heat.
Combine the garlic, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and Parmesan and set aside. Carefully crack 3 eggs into each of 2 small bowls or teacups (you won't be baking them in these) without breaking the yolks. (It's very important to have all the eggs ready to go before you start cooking.)
Place 2 individual gratin dishes on a baking sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of cream and 1/2 tablespoon of butter in each dish and place under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until hot and bubbly. Quickly, but carefully, pour 3 eggs into each gratin dish and sprinkle evenly with the herb mixture, then sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place back under the broiler for 5 to 6 minutes, until the whites of the eggs are almost cooked. (Rotate the baking sheet once if they aren't cooking evenly.) The eggs will continue to cook after you take them out of the oven. Allow to set for 60 seconds and serve hot with toasted bread.

I guess next to Sandra Lee, who I despise and who I am responsilbe for getting fired from Food Network (watch the developments over the next two weeks), the woman I detest the most is Ina Garten.
She is an obese phony, and I truly detest her and her recipes.
Of course, I am a PROFESSIONAL CHEF who graduated from Peter Kump's Culinary Institute in my hometown of Brooklyn, NY.
Garten NEVER had one day of formal education in her whole life. All she does is steal other people's ideas (she has stolen several of MY recipes) and then use them on her show.
She is such a phony.

I have never heard anyone call Ina a phony…(in regards to chiffonade's comment). I've seen many of Ina's recipes shared and cherished, and they're often the best and most tried and true recipes out there! Wherever she gets them, she knows how to pick 'em.

Made this recipe today. It was pretty great, the sharpness of the spices on top are definitely a nice surprise. Instead of au gratin dishes we did 2 eggs for 3 oversized ingredient bowls and it still cooked really well, even gave half the yolks per dish a nice solidness. Thumbs up.

Russian national charged with mail theft in widening case
Thursday, March 14, 2013
HAMPTON — Police have arrested a 21-year-old Russian national on a charge of stealing mail, but the case has expanded to a larger operation involving identity theft.
Detectives also learned that U.S. Postal Inspection agents have been investigating similar cases in the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts since January and had obtained photos of a suspect involved in mail thefts from Cape Cod homes. The photographs were determined to be a match to Shushliannikov.
The case is currently being investigated by the U.S. Postal Service, ICE, U.S. Secret Service, the Hampton Police Department and other local agencies in Massachusetts.

For the record — groovy shopping day in store for music lovers
By THOMAS CONNER firstname.lastname@example.com April 18, 2012 4:56PM
Val Camilletti, who runs Val's Halla in Oak Park, calls Record Store Day an "absolutely splendiferous" idea. | Richard A. Chapman~Sun-Times Media

Updated: April 19, 2012 11:31AM
Record Store Day began five years ago as a spirited international campaign to encourage patronage of local brick-and-mortar record shops. Now, on the third Saturday of every April, participating independent record stores open early, have sales, spotlight live bands and stock what they can from an eagerly anticipated list of records released especially for the occasion.
The primary goal, as originally conceived by indie record shop employee Chris Brown, was to counteract plummeting store sales in the face of online competition. But it also had a cultural component — to remind digitally duped music fans of the importance not only of liner notes and the tactile experience of records but of the community fostered by local shops.
"It's a wonderful idea, and the idea behind it is absolutely splendiferous," says the venerable Val Camilletti, owner and operator of Val's Halla Records, which this year is celebrating 40 years in Oak Park. "The idea is to pay homage to your local record store, say hello, have some coffee and doughnuts, hear some live music, enjoy some sales and all that good stuff — to stop in and say, 'Hey, I'm glad you're still alive.'
"It's a cool day for people already excited about music to enjoy the sense of community," says Dave McCune, manager at Permanent Records, a shop that recently observed a five-year anniversary in Chicago's Ukrainian Village, "but also it creates enough of a vibe where people that may be kind of just hearing about records, maybe they don't collect or they used to and don't anymore — those people can get excited, too, especially now in this age where everything is digital downloading. Digital is great, and it's very portable, but some people still want something they can hold in their hands and feel connected to."
To a degree, it's worked.
The first official event in 2008 spotlighted 10 — count 'em 10 — special one-time-only releases from bands such as Death Cab for Cutie, R.E.M. and Vampire Weekend. The growth of the annual campaign correlates with a slight but steady rise in vinyl LP sales, and Record Store Day 2012 — this Saturday — features more than 300 "special" releases (a complete list is available at recordstoreday.com).
Just note the quotation marks around that word.
RSD 2012 releases include some exciting, clever one-off creations, no doubt — for example, a split single of Mastodon and Feist covering each other's songs ("Commotion" b/w "Black Tongue"), a Buck Owens coloring book and flexi-single, a limited-run Oberhofer single (with a cover of Kanye West's "Runaway" as the B-side) — but also a lot of releases that aren't necessarily special, including truckloads of current singles from major artists (Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Katy Perry) and LP editions of music that has been and will be available for ages (a Lee Hazelwood box set, the soundtrack to "Pretty in Pink," "Here's Little Richard").
"When the list of records coming out on Record Store Day extends to 28 pages, that means there's a lot of stuff that just isn't that special, not the way it was originally intended," Camilletti says. "The whole idea for this initially was to make this one day special, to release records special to the day, things you weren't going to be able to buy again later. … But now the record companies have just gone stark-raving crazy, using the occasion as a release date for things that are going to be available for another 47 years. It's an opportunity for them to sell $80 box sets. There's no reason to put that out on Record Store Day as if it's special, because it's not."
"Some of the majors are re-pressing records that are found in every dollar bin everywhere. It doesn't make sense," McCune says. (Permanent Records owners Liz Tooley and Lance Barresi have relocated to Los Angeles, where they opened another Permanent Records.) "People aren't coming into this shop, anyway, looking for the reissue of Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass."
Further evidence of the perhaps inevitable phase of co-opters and bandwagon-jumpers: Local beer-maker Three Floyds has teamed with Chicago's Reckless Records to create Rye'd Da Lightning, a rye pale ale only available only at a Record Store Day Post-Party (featuring Sweet Cobra, Chicago Thrash Ensemble and Party Downers, 11 p.m. April 21 at the Bottom Lounge, 1375 W. Lake, $10, bottomlounge.com).
♦ Every record shop will not have stocked every release on the list of Record Store Day titles. "We place our orders and cross our fingers," Camilletti says. "We may order 10 and get one. We may order one and get none."
♦ Because of that scarcity, shops cannot set aside a particular record for you. As Laurie's Planet of Sound in Lincoln Square has posted on its site: "As usual, RSD items are limited to ONE (each) per customer, and we cannot hold or save anything!" Like many shops, they plan to post a list of what RSD merch they've actually got by Friday night on their website (lauriesplanetofsound.com).
♦ Sales are first-come, first-served.
♦ Not everything disappears in the first hour. "I still have past Record Store Day stuff in here," Camilletti says. "I've got a Syd Barrett tin box of 45s. I was sure in our market the Pink Floyd fans were going to want this unusual thing. Pffft! It's still sitting here. Every year is an absolute crapshoot."

The bad boy personality traits
By M.Farouk Radwan, MSc.
The bad boy personality traits
So you did your best to treat her nicely
but she dumped you and favored another ill mannered guy over you. I know you are hurt but the good news i have for you is that the problem isn't with you but its with your attitude.
Women like nice guys but they put them in the friends zone and never allow them out. The real type of guys that really appeal to women are bad boys who don't only attract them but drive them crazy as well.
I have talked about being a bad boy earlier but because that topic is of great importance i had to visit it again to tell you more tips that can help you become a bad boy.
Can bad boys be nice?
Can bad boys ever be nice? Of course they can but instead of being nice all the time they reward their partners with their nice behaviour when they stick to the rules. In other words a bad boy isn't a nice by default person but he is an unpredictable person who requires a lot of work in order for someone to extract that nice part out of him.
This is one of the main reasons why women like bad boys. Its because they represent a challenge to their self esteem. A woman will become addicted to that type of man because she will get a self esteem boost if she managed to make him nice.
The bad boy radiates confidence to the extent that he sometimes appears arrogant. Most people will try to make you feel guilty if you became over confident. Our societies teach us indirectly incorrect things about confidence in such a way that some people believe that over confidence is a bad thing.
The bad boy is not just confident when it comes to women but he is overly confident about every aspect of his life. He is not the cry boy who blames the unfairness of life for his misfortunes nor he is the one who runs to women for social support but instead he is a solid and independent person who never breaks.
Why bad boys keep women aroused
Remember the last time you got excited about something?
Because bad boys are unpredictable they keep women wondering whether they appealed to them or not. The problem with the nice guy is that all of his actions send two indirect messages to women 1) I am interested in you and 2) I am really desperate.
Women like challenges and prefer to chase what they cant have. In fact all human beings lose interest, at least partially, in whatever is 100% attainable. (see also How to use the weapon of attention to attract people to you)
A bad boy is a perfect representation of a male's masculinity. The more masculine you become the more will you be closer to becoming a bad boy. Take risks, be a bit aggressive, be a bit arrogant, say no, be dominant, go for martial arts, smile less often, act superior and act like there are lots of women waiting in the queue to take the turn.
do this and you will become a real bad boy.
People who don't understand how others perceive physical attraction usually develop the imagined ugliness disorder.
The book The psychology of physical attraction explained was released by 2knowmyself. This book won't just help you understand how the attraction process happens but it will also help you discover how attractive you are and will assist you in getting over the imagined ugliness problem.

Special for The Willits News
W.R. "Ray" Burris of Willits was honored by the American Quarter Horse Association as a 50-Year Cumulative Breeder at a ceremony held on October 2 at the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum in Amarillo.
Each year, AQHA honors breeders who have dedicated their livelihoods to maintaining the integrity of the American Quarter Horse. These horsemen and families see their biggest accomplishments and proudest moments in the horses they breed.
This year, the honorees included 16 who received the cumulative award and 16 who received the legacy award. Cumulative breeders are those who have registered at least one foal for 50 years cumulatively. Legacy breeders are those who have registered at least one foal for 50 consecutive years.
Burris was born in a small town in southwest Kentucky. After leaving the U.S. Navy, he made his way to California and pursued his dream of being a rancher and having horses. On July 8, 1999, Burris had a heart attack while hauling hay and died, leaving behind 39 horses and a grieving family to keep the ranch running.
"I still have 12 horses," says Burris' daughter, Bobbie Tilley. "We only have two of Dad's mares left. (What keeps us going) is the foals in the pasture come spring."
Honorees ranged from people who have bred American Quarter Horses for reining, racing, ranch rodeo and cutting.
"It's our honor to recognize the effort and time these breeders have spent in pushing the development of the American Quarter Horse," said Don Treadway Jr., AQHA executive vice president.
Founded in 1940, the American Quarter Horse Association is the largest equine breed organization in the world. With headquarters in Amarillo, Texas, AQHA has a membership of more than 280,000 people in 86 countries and has registered more than 5 million horses in 95 countries.

Most of our troubles as human beings are traceable to one overriding problem: our suspension in the groundlessness of existence.
When a loved one dies, or we are attacked, or we fall ill; it often feels like the bottom has dropped out-and there is nothing left to hold us up. Like the astronaut who's cut from his tether, or the tight rope walker who slips, we suddenly come face to face, not just with our particular difficulty, but with the difficulty of existence itself.
This "difficulty" is eloquently portrayed in the opening credits of the award-winning television series Mad Men. In that signature scene, a male character is depicted in a free fall. We know very little about this character except that he is powerless, and that is revealing enough.
Trauma is a lot like this free fall-it makes us aware of what most of us, most of the day, contrive to deny-that we're all in suspense. Right now, for example, you're probably sitting on a comfortable chair in a building that feels solidly anchored to the ground, but this is not at all the complete picture. What is more fully taking place is that you're sitting on a comfortable chair in a building that rests on a gigantic ball that is whirling around the sun at 67, 000 miles per hour. This ball, furthermore, is situated in a galaxy that's hurtling through the universe at 1.2 million miles an hour, to a destination that is completely unknown. And as if that is not enough, you don't really know where you came from to get to this chair and building. Oh, I know you'll probably tell me that you made a thousand arrangements to arrive at this particular place and time, and that you can trace them all back to your past. But this doesn't really tell me much; nor does the ostensibly brilliant presumption that well before you arranged anything you were the "happy" product of a stray sperm and a receptive egg. The fact is that so much of what we take for granted, even today, is a culturally sanctioned artifact-a stop-gap-set against a sea of bewilderment.

Climate Progress: All Americans can celebrate the Environmental Protection Agency's commitment to ensure everyone can breathe clean air. But this commitment particularly benefits communities of color. Currently, African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans are especially vulnerable to air pollution's health effects. Within the last year, however, the EPA instituted new mercury and air toxics standards and restrictions on cross-state air pollution. Last week the EPA also proposed carbon emissions limits on coal plants—a historic first step to slow the growth of the major pollutant responsible for global climate change. The EPA's new policies could improve racial health disparities by shielding millions of Americans of color from further exposure to pollutants.

Last week a brave and principled senator from Kentucky broke through the iron curtain of lobbyists and lifers barricading Washington and began to tell this nation of complacent frogs that the water is boiling:"I will speak as long as it takes," said Rand Paul before the Senate, "until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our Constitution is important, that your rights to trial by jury are precious, that no American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court."Thirteen hours he stood and spoke without a break - without a catheter or diaper, we assume. That alone was heroic.It took this performance, after endless unanswered letters and media inquiries, to simply get Attorney General Holder to reluctantly state that the federal government will not summarily execute American citizens with drone strikes.Thanks so much, Mr. Holder. But the administration you represent is still fighting a legal battle to detain American citizens indefinitely without due process, despite that National Defense Authorization Act provision being declared unconstitutional by a federal judge.It's time for many liberals to come to the same realization that many principled conservatives came to about George W. Bush: President Obama cannot be fully trusted. Obama has not only continued but accelerated many of Bush's worst police-state and warmonger policies.The possibility of a drone strike in your neighborhood - like the ones overseas that kill about 10 kids for every legit takedown - is not the only symptom of some toxic brew bubbling in the Beltway. One of our snoozing lapdogs of the press, Forbes magazine, finally woke up to ask in a recent feature article: "1.6 Billion Rounds of Ammo for Homeland Security? It's Time for a National Conversation." The author, Ralph Benko, notes: "At the height of the Iraq War, the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. 1.6 billion rounds, therefore, would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years in America."While an aggressive campaign to disarm American citizens is underway, Homeland Security has been arming itself to the teeth. In addition to the enormous stockpile of hollow-point ammo, it has signed large new arms contracts with gun makers Sig Sauer and Heckler & Koch, acquired 7,000 assault rifles and 2,700 MRAPs (armored, gun-turreted street tanks) home from the Middle Eastern wars, and is about to spend $50 million on new uniforms. I'm sure jackboots and silver eagle medallions will be de rigueur, but will the new uniforms be more NKVD brown or Gestapo black?You may not think that a flippant joke when you see what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) troops have been using their hollow-points on - so-called "no hesitation" targets of pregnant women, children and old men holding guns.It should be clear to anyone not totally brain-addled by blind partisan loyalty, meth, or a life in a cellar that the Executive Branch has been erecting the apparatus for martial law, and is either clinically paranoid and out of control, or seriously prepping for some imminent trouble that we should all be alerted to. As Ralph Benko states about gun control: "The federal government can begin practicing what it preaches by controlling itself."There is not now, and there will never be, a valid excuse to suspend or destroy the Bill of Rights. Unlike so many of our pathetic human drones in Congress and the press, the Founding Fathers well knew their history - that all democracies have proven vulnerable to the siren song of fearmongering control freaks. More than the threat of terrorism, it is now the possibility of false-flag terrorism by rogue elements within our own government that could trigger martial law and tyranny in our nation.The Bill of Rights, more than our supersized trucks and cheeseburgers, defines us as Americans. Anyone, or any party, foreign or domestic, assaulting the U.S. Constitution is a sworn enemy of the American people, and they must and will be defeated.Travis Kelly is a web/graphic designer, writer and cartoonist in Grand Junction.

|Get Jazzed about Vajazzling

Get Jazzed about Vajazzling
It's exactly what it sounds like - bedazzling for the "vajayjay." The latest trend in the bling department hits below the belt, but is getting a stamp of approval by many women, including Jennifer Love Hewitt.
It all started Jan. 12. Big-name star and beauty advocate Jennifer Love Hewitt made an appearance on the "Lopez Tonight" show to promote her new dating book, The Day I Shot Cupid.
As it turns out, the book premiere wasn't the main topic of conversation that night. Instead, Hewitt revealed her new personal beautification practice: accessorizing her "private square" through a service called Vajazzling.
Yep, it's exactly what it sounds like. To put it in official terms, Vajazzling is "the act of applying glitter or jewels to a woman's nether regions for aesthetic purposes." While this might seem a bit risqué at first, the art of Vajazzling has skyrocketed in popularity since Hewitt's interview and is now on its way to becoming the next Brazilian wax.
Enter Mark Ryder, creator of Vajazzleville, a Massachusetts-based online hub and the first of its kind for making Vajazzling accessible to spas and everyday women. Ryder saw the potential in Vajazzling from the moment Hewitt brought it to public attention. "We were there from very early on in the beginning, helping to promote it and educate people," he says.
The first hurdle confronting Ryder was peoples' misconception of what exactly Vajazzling is. Most assumed that stones were glued directly onto the sensitive labia. In fact, the designs actually go right above the clitoris or bikini area, where pubic hair is likely to be waxed or shaved. If you're not quite ready to bling out the area down there, the stones also can be applied to other spots around the waist, such as the small of the back.
To further prove the unexpected chic-ness of the accessory, Vajazzleville follows Hewitt's lead and uses Swarovski crystals for the designs. "The [crystals] we use are AB-coated, so you get that nice, multicolor sheen," Ryder says. Common Vajazzle designs are in simple shapes, like hearts or butterflies.
Most Vajazzling decorations last three to five days, on average. This depends on a number of factors however, including tightness of clothing around the area, type of activity, etc. This is just an estimate, as Vajazzleville is currently conducting tests to increase the longevity of designs. "We have people testing it for us and wearing it as long as they can," Ryder says. With the purchase of extra adhesive, the crystals are even reusable.
Thinking this might be something you want to try? Cincinnati spas unfortunately have yet to offer Vajazzling as a service, but no sweat there. Vajazzleville offers safe, hot-wax-free self-adhesive kits that can be ordered online and easily applied to the body.
Supplying the comfortable kits to consumers is now Vajazzleville's No. 1 priority, Ryder says. "We focus on accessibility and simplicity," he says. "People don't have to make an investment in purchasing adhesive and tools." Vajazzleville also focuses on building community and increasing enthusiasm through giveaways. Each Friday, the site awards free kits through Twitter.
Once you've secured your personal Vajazzling kit, it's important to follow basic hygienic precautions. Bikini waxes and simple shaves will both do the trick for pre-application upkeep, but Ryder advises waiting 24 hours to vajazzle after a wax. "Everybody's skin is different," he says. "If your skin's not hyper sensitive, you're good to go."
If you're looking to give your partner a shiny surprise or just give yourself your own chic secret, Vajazzling may be just the extra glimmer you need. Whether you choose to flaunt your vajazzle or keep it a secret, it might do more for your confidence than painting your nails or a new haircut would. Regardless, Ryder says, "It's just another way to beautify yourself and add that extra bounce in your step."

Million dollar face value gold coin goes on sale by auction June 25th
One of the world's most valuable solid gold coins - a million dollar Maple Leaf - is being sold by auction in Austria in two weeks time and is expected to sell at a big premium to its face value.
Posted: Saturday , 12 Jun 2010
One of the world's largest and easily most valuable gold coins - a Canadian minted million dollar Maple Leaf, which weighs 100 kg and measures 20 inches (50 cm) in diameter is to go on sale by auction in Austria on June 25th. The coin has a CAD$1 million face value. The coin had been owned by an Austrian investment firm - AvW - which has been going through bankruptcy proceedings since May this year. The coin was minted by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2007 - see: Million dollar gold coin launched by Canadian mint
At the current gold price the coin is worth approximately US$3.95 million by its weight alone on the weekend gold closing price, but it could well fetch more than this. The coin is being auctioned by Austrian auction house Dorotheum. Given the strong interest in gold at the moment in Germany and Austria in particular, expectations for a strong price performance are high.
The million dollar gold Maple Leaf is .99999 pure gold. The coin was originally produced as a promotional product to give the mint a higher international profile. It was conceived as a one-off showpiece to promote the mint's new line of 99.999% pure one ounce Gold Maple Leaf bullion coins but after several interested buyers came forward the mint announced it would manufacture them as ordered and sell them, at the time, for between $2.5 million and $3 million. Initially there were five confirmed orders for these special coins.

Who would be the correct physician to see ?
Well I've been exhibiting many of the symptoms of PCOS, except irregular menstrual cycles.
( excessive hair growth, hair loss, fatigue, weakness, depression, mood swings, weight gain/loss, increase/decrease in appetite, constipation & diarrhea - sorry if too many details lol but regarding the weight, appetite, & stool movement all fluctuate ). My major concerns are the hair issues, I've been experiencing excessive hair growth for the last 4-5 years & hair loss onset was drastic (within 6 months 1/2 hair was gone; it's been almost a year & I'm now at about 3/4. I used to have thick, coarse, soft hair now it's brittle, dry, dull & thinning.
My question is, should I seek help from a endocrinologist, dermatologist, &/or a gynecologist?
I've had blood tests done by my primary for high testerone levels/androgens & also for a thyroid problem and supposedly they came back "normal"; which I find hard to believe considering I'm only 18 & going through things a middle aged women during menopause would be going through!
Oh & right now I'm on Quasense (generic of Seasonale; hair loss started around the time I started BCPS considering that as a reason for the hair loss- high androgenic index...but not sure theres so many possibilities: high testerone/androgen sensitivity, underactive thyroid, vitamin deficiency, pcos, Ect...it's overwhelming all I want are answers so I can start solving the problem!
Any help would be greatly appreciated .

I went to a obgyn for tests due to infertility and I grow hair so fast, but all my tests including testosterone and tsh came back normal(oh come on!), even my ultrasound came back normal. 6 months after those tests(2 months ago)I started to experience hair loss so I went to a family doctor and they retested tsh which today came back high(finally the answer I needed!). They are referring me to an endocrinologist due to this.
So I guess I would say go to an endocrinologist but if you can't go to one without a referral, get your family doctor to refer you to whatever need be.
Endocrinologists deal with hormones, it seems all those symptoms are caused by hormones so they will help you.
Oh, and regular cycles doesn't necessarily mean you don't have PCOS, you can get regular cycles and not ovulate. It's rare, but possible. But those symptoms aren't normal, PCOS or not, it's not something you should live with, and an endocrinologist can help.
Oh and I'm 20, had issues since I was 13 with hair growing awfully fast, but it was when I hit 17 things started to go downhill. Then I turned 19 and boom, hair loss. It ISN'T normal to be experiencing menopause like type issues, it's depressing. But the women on this site are very supportive so it helps.

Yep, I'd get thee to an endo. They're going to have the best experience to treat the hormone imbalances that are wreaking havoc for you. Check with your insurance to see what the process is to see one - sometimes it's a referral and sometimes it's not. One of the boards has a post about finding doctors, you may want to check that as well.Justine (33) Hidden Content DH (34)

I'd definitely go to an endocrinologist. Your doctor has to refer you though so technically you will have to go there first. Just ask your regular doctor to go to an endo and if you have to insist on it. Most doctors tend to send women with PCOS to a gyno which is a mistake in my opinion.
I am going to see my Gyno first. I will go from there to see if she will do a referral to an Endo dr.
I think it depends on the doctor and you may have to go to more than one. Our pediatrician sent us to a pediatric endocrinologist. She did lab work, all came back "normal" and she brushed us off to a dermatologist for the unwanted hair growth and offered diet pills if my daughter gained more weight, she was currently not overweight at the time of the appointment, although she was gaining weight and unable to lose weight. The dermatologist treated my daughter for acne and "watched" the hair growth since it wasn't "so bad" and offered to re-do blood work in 6 months to a year. Things seemed to be fine for about 5 months. I called the pediatrician after my daughter didn't have a period for 3 ½ months, of course he referred us back to the endocrinologist. She gave us Provera for 5 days, told us if it didn't work to try it again in a month and if that didn't work to call back. I called the pediatrician and asked for a referral to a gynecologist. About 15 minutes into the appointment we had a diagnosis and were talking about treatment. Obviously she ran blood work again, which came back normal again, but it's not anything else so it has to be PCOS. She also did not want to put my 14 year old through the trauma of an ultrasound. I guess all of that came down to a gynecologist and dermatologist has been the most helpful for us.

Grant Allows ACP to Create New Center for Practice Innovation
November 7, 2005
(WASHINGTON): A two-year $996,000 grant to create the Center for Practice Innovation (CPI) by the American College of Physicians (ACP) was announced today by the Physicians' Foundation for Health Systems Excellence (PFHSE).
The CPI will respond to the quality improvement and practice management needs of small and midsize internal medicine practices. It will support a "Patient-Centered and Physician-Guided" model of care in which the needs of patients and their families serve as the core design principles.
PFHSE, which announced $16 million in grants to 26 organizations today, is dedicated to promoting high quality health care, and gives particular emphasis to initiatives that assist physicians in improving and enhancing the quality of care received by patients. "This foundation was created for the sole purpose of helping practicing physicians improve the clinical care of their patients," PFHSE President Tim Norbeck noted. "I'm not sure that there is another foundation in this country with a similar mission."
The CPI will broadly share products, programs and tools – as well as lessons learned from the operation. Success will be measured through data collected for selected clinical measures, patient satisfaction, physician/staff satisfaction, and economic indicators of practice function.
"Our belief," said ACP President C. Anderson Hedberg, MD, FACP, "is that the financial concerns of physicians regarding the implementation and management of the changing practice environment will be addressed through office redesign, attention to quality innovation, enhanced patient satisfaction, and practice growth."
In praising the support of the foundation, ACP's Vice President of Practice Advocacy and Improvement Michael S. Barr, MD, MBA, FACP, stated, "The foundation's generous grant will enable ACP to provide new practice-level support and to test innovative approaches aimed at achieving change in practice management, physician education and patient safety/disease management."
The ACP Center for Practice Innovation will formally begin operations in Washington on Jan. 1, 2006.
The American College of Physicians is the largest medical-specialty organization and the second-largest physician group in the United States. ACP members include 119,000 internal medicine physicians (internists), related subspecialists, and medical students. Internists specialize in the prevention, detection and treatment of illness in adults.

Thousands of Honduran farm workers have launched a co-ordinated land occupation, squatting on about 12,000 hectares nationwide and fuelling new tensions over land rights, authorities said.
More than 3,500 families started squatting on farmland in the provinces of Yoro, Cortes, Santa Barbara, Intibuca, Comayagua, Francisco Morazan, El Paraiso and Choluteca on Tuesday - the International Peasant Day of Struggle.
Activists say the seized arable land is public property and small farmers have the legal right to grow crops under Honduran law. The large landowners who have been farming the land say they bought it legally from the government.
On Wednesday, police and soldiers read an eviction notice to farm workers on the San Manuel sugar plantation, about 22km north of the capital Tegucigalpa. The workers then peacefully vacated the 2,500 hectare area.
The rest of the farms were still occupied late on Wednesday, activists said.
Mabel Marquez, of the organisation Via Campesina, said that the largest seizure had occurred on the country's Caribbean coast, where roughly 1,500 farm workers had seized land held by a sugar plantation near the city of SanPedro Sula.
"We want to avoid any type of confrontation," Marquez said, adding that the farmworkers were unarmed and used no force.
A land dispute between small farmers and landlords in the northern Aguan Valley has led to dozens of deaths among farmworkers in recent years.
Leaders of the farmers in the impoverished Central American nation said they were worried authorities would violently kick them off the land they were currently occupying.
Activists said they were seeking meetings with government officials to open up a national dialogue on land disputes, and to make clear that the lands were public property and that the farm workers should not be dislodged.
Farmers say they have been waiting for land for 15 years, and have not received any titles. Forty per cent of farmers are living in extreme poverty, aggravating the situation's urgency.
According to United Nations figures, 53 per cent of Hondurans live in the countryside and, according to the Economic Commission for Latin America, the residents of 72 per cent of rural homes are below the poverty line.
Meanwhile, Cesar Ham, director of the National Agrarian Institute said the land seizures were politically motivated and aimed at destabilising the government.
He blamed leftist legislator Juan Barahona at least in part for the land use tensions.

It is a stereotype that us Brits are obsessed with the weather.
And there's nothing like a little bit of snow to reinforce that preconception.
Almost every conversation I've had this week, whether with friends, family, colleagues or total strangers, has be preceded with a discussion about the snow, the subsequent and inevitable transport chaos and our general inability to cope with any kind of weather at all really.
Yield: A 2lb loaf cake (serves 8 – 10)
The original recipe calls for blood oranges, a chocolate glaze and an orange compote. All of these things sound wonderful but this version is a little more simple. I can imagine this cake would work well with a lot of different types of citrus fruit – the bitterness of Seville oranges is particularly welcome but lemon or grapefruit would also be good. You might want to check the tartness of your glaze if you're using a different type of fruit and adjust the ration of sugar to juice accordingly. This cake works best when pleasingly sour.
For the cake:
- Zest of two Seville oranges
- 225g (1 cup) unrefined caster/granulated sugar
- 120ml (1/2 cup) juice from 1 1/2 – 2 Seville oranges
- 120ml (1/2 cup) plain yoghurt
- 3 eggs
- 160ml (2/3 cup) extra virgin olive oil
- 200g (1 3/4 cup) white spelt flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teasppon baking soda/bicarbonate of soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Juice of 1 Seville orange
- 55g (1/4 cup) unrefined caster/granulated sugar
Cooking Directions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F (fan). Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with non-stick paper.
- With your fingers, rub together the zest and sugar in a large bowl until it becomes fragrant.
- Add the yoghurt and orange juice and whisk to combine.
- Add the eggs, one at a a time, and the oil and whisk again until everything is combined.
- Fold in the dry ingredients until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour into the load tin and bake for 40 – 50 minutes until the top is firm and golden.
- While the cake is baking, mix together the juice and the sugar for the glaze. Set aside until needed.
- When the cake is ready, take it out the oven but leave it in the tin. While it is still hot, make a few holes in the cake with a fork and pour over the glaze.
- Leave to cool in the tin for about half an hour until the juice is all absorbed before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Since I was able to get my valve to start working I have not replaced it yet. So I have know idea if it works or not. My only concern is the packaging. The valve was put in a box with without wraping it or putting stuffing in it. So the valve got a lot of bangging around during shipping. Very poor packaging.

In a moment, not even 10 minutes in to the concert last night, it seemed the MTS Centre was rippling.
All the fans had raised their hands, you see. Clear around the arena they shoved their arms up on the beat and wiggled their fingers furiously. They raised them because it was the title of the song and because Jon Bon Jovi told them to. Because he can. Because it's a rock star's privilege to stand in the middle of 15,500 people, pump his hips against the mike stand and tell 'em how it's gonna be.
"I ain't going to waste a lot of time," Bon Jovi said then, shouldering his guitar. "We're going to take you on a roller-coaster ride from the beginning to the present day... so for the next 2 1/2 hours, strap yourselves in and let me drive."
Well, it's not like anyone else had the keys. Guitarist Richie Sambora dropped out of the Because We Can tour earlier this week, "personal reasons" they said, which showbiz media buzzed could be a spat over money, or maybe substance trouble again. Sambora tweeted he was fine.
At any rate, the show went on without him -- Bon Jovi, drummer Tico Torres and keyboardist David Bryan at the helm. Phil Xenidis took over on first axe, although, a fan lamented last night, the harmonies just weren't the same without Sambora around.
At least there was a whole lot of sound to flesh them out. From his place at the heart of a stage in the round, Bon Jovi held court on three hours of straightforward rock 'n' roll. There weren't a lot of bells, and even fewer whistles -- at a few points, columns descended to form video screens behind the open stage. Once, they turned into stepping stones for Bon Jovi to gyrate for fans on the arena's south end, who mostly only saw his back or else an obstructed view.
There were a handful of songs off of the brand-new Bon Jovi album, What About Now, but not many. We all knew why we were there: not just to make a memory, but to dust off the ones we once carefully folded and were forced by life to leave behind.
Jon Bon Jovi knows this, too. He is a 51-year-old man in tight black jeans and swept-back follicular flow, still delighting millions by playing decades-old rock 'n' roll; he played with this in subtle winks. "This is one I wrote a long time ago, off a record called Keep the Faith," he said, standing at the apex of a narrow horseshoe catwalk. "It's called Bed of Roses."
And then he was bending down, hands plunging towards his fans, they screamed and threw their arms around each other and sang so loud. How many times has he done this? It doesn't matter. It's not about the man on stage, really, it's about every swaying body and blissed-out face in that crowd.
And so, for another hour yet, he brought them back home. He kicked out We Weren't Born To Follow and rocked a little Rolling Stones. The main set closed off with Bad Medicine, and the thunderous cheers shook the place all over. In the rocking encore, Bon Jovi made a quiet nod to Sambora's absence, thanking the crowd for their "patience."
"We're very grateful for that," he said, and then the band just lit the place up: something about a steel horse, a cowboy, and being wanted dead or alive.

I'm not trying to look like a celebrity or anyone else. I just am trying to get ripped. I want all my muscles to be defined and not only after I workout. I don't have the funds to join the gym right now. My wife and I are paying for our son medical bills. Right now I have the Weider 200 Pull up power station that I bought from Craigslist. Really good quality by the way. Since I can't post links there is a picture of it from Amazon.com
I have two Kettlebells a 20 pound and a 35-pound Kettlebell. That's all the equipment I have. I have cleaned up my diet tremendously and have been eating healthy for the past month and a half. There are so many workout programs out there that's it hard to pick just one. By the way the area I live in is not the best place to go running. It's too cold to run and the air quality is usually in the red. We usually are in the top 5 of nation for bad air quality in the winter season. I can do burpees at home though.
Let me tell you about myself. I'm 30 years old, I am 5'7" tall and weigh 185 pounds. I checked my B.M.I online and it told me I have a B.M.I of 29. I'm looking for a workout program that the trainer is also ripped to shreds. I'm not very trusting of trainers that are in shape but not ripped. I want to be in shape and also ripped. My goal is to do this in six months.
I just need to know what other equipment I need. I can check Craigslist and other local ads for equipment.
So what is one of the best workout programs I can get my hands on?

I am a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, with a beauty that doesn't wash off. I earned it, unearthed it, rescued it like a jewel in the dust, picked it up and made it shine. For years, I did not see it, though I sensed it was there. Now it dazzles and thrives.
I am healthy, capable, independent, strong yet still so fragile, floored by a sigh. My body is that of a creator
- anglesmeeting curves, hardness drifting into soft.
I am mother, daughter, sister, lover to myself. Embraceable and brave, I extend my heart. My body is home, my home a shrine to life, comfortable, warm and rich with treasures. Mine is the scent of hot spices caught in a breeze, mine the laughter that wings through the door.
I share myself only with those who honor me as I am and protect myself, my house, and my time from invaders. I search for my center in the midst of chaos, practice peace as wild dogs clamor in my mind. I use power for the greater good, release rage in neutral settings, with no one innocent in the line of fire. I am learning how to persist and when to let go, am willing to feel all emotion stop their depths and exaltations, to wake up in every nerve and no longer am afraid of my life.
Both my beauty and strength transcend age, time and perhaps even this lifetime. Each day I am new, yet more at home in myself. Moment by moment, I create my world.

I'm still working on this even though it's not NanoGraphicMo any longer.
I've been posting completed pages here:
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
I'm still working on this even though it's not NanoGraphicMo any longer.
I've been posting completed pages here:
Decided that instead of trying again, I'd just pick up where I left off at the end of last November. It was easier than I thought it would be to get back into the story, though drawing the characters is hard. I guess when you don't draw for a year you go back to square 1.
I think I'm up to 22 pages. I'm determined to finish it this year because I don't want to wait until November 2012 :)
Due to secret life issue that hopefully will be resolved soon. Or said issue may give me more time to work on it…
Drew three pages yesterday, the most of any one sitting! I was really in the zone and had a lot of fun drawing. That came through in the drawings, they were more whimsical than my previous work. I hope I can get in that zone on a regular basis.
It was just me and the baby last night so I didn't get any drawing done. I'm about 18 pages done. Maybe 19 if I keep going with this side story that I'm 1 page into.
Like I said earlier, I'm going to give myself till the end of 2010 to finish this, but I'm not giving up!
I saw most of the characters in the book over the weekend, so I got some good material from them. But I've only drawn 1 page since my last update. To stay on track I'd need to draw 6 pages tonight!
I don't have the pages in front of me but I think I'm up to 16. It's more complicated to count pages now because I have the main story, a side story that's sorta shelved, and endnotes.
Got two pages done yesterday. Introduced some new characters and some drama!!
Better than nothing.
Also did some more timeline stuff to piece the story together (reading old blogs is painful).
Though I was off the wagon until last night due to a family function. I got one good page, and a half page of another little side story that may or may not make it into the book.
I talked with a friend over the weekend who's a part of the story, and she helped me fill in a few blanks. I also did some research, looking at old photos and blogs to try to piece together the chronology.
At this point I'm going to be realistic and give myself a 1 month extension. So I'd like to have 48 pages drawn by the end of 2010.

Boeing Statement On Lufthansa Selection Of Boeing 777X For Future Long-Haul Fleet
SEATTLE, Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing [NYSE:BA] welcomes Lufthansa's selection of the 777-9X for its future long-haul fleet.
The launch of the 777X family is targeted for later this year and entry into service around the end of the decade.
Advanced technology including a new composite wing, all-new engines and superior aerodynamics will result in the incredible fuel efficiency promised by the 777X family. The 777-9X, with around 400 seats, will be the largest and most efficient twin-engine commercial jet in the world with the lowest operating cost per seat of any commercial airplane and no competitor in its market segment.
"We are focused on developing and delivering a superior airplane that ensures the 777 remains the unequivocal long-haul leader," said John Wojick, Senior Vice President of Global Sales, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "With its new engines and an all-new composite wing design, the 777X will be the largest and most-efficient twin engine jet in the world with 20 percent lower fuel consumption and 15 percent lower operating costs than today's 777. Boeing is delighted that Lufthansa is continuing its longstanding partnership with Boeing by selecting the 777X for its future fleet development.""Boeing and Lufthansa share more than 50 years of partnership and innovation and a tradition of launching new airplane models – starting with the original 737s and most recently, the efficient 747-8 Intercontinental," said Nico Buchholz, Executive Vice President and Head of Fleet, Lufthansa. "Lufthansa is demonstrating its legacy of innovation and market leadership again with its selection of the 777X. We look forward to many years of partnership with Boeing, as we make air travel more efficient, comfortable and environmentally sustainable with airplanes such as the 777X." Earlier this year, the Lufthansa Group ordered six 777-300ERs for the fleet of Swiss International Airlines. Boeing will deliver the first of Lufthansa Cargo's five new 777 Freighters later this year.

"Certain death awaits any outsider who enters Cache, a mythical city said to disappear when intruders threaten. But P.I. Max Duhon won't let the Cajun superstition stop him from going there. He'll do anything to help sexy Colette Guidry and close this missing person's case, even admit how attracted he is to his client. But as their investigation deepens, Max finds himself protecting Colette from the inexplicable terrors of the bayou. This includes the specter taunting them with voodoo ... and a shotgun. It seems they may have come too close to Cache and its eerie secrets-and dangerously close to each other." -- Cover verso

The Live Longer & Stronger Challenge: A Healthy Start for a Healthy Heart
Learn what to eat for breakfast if you're trying to lose weight and strengthen your ticker
By April Castillo
Satisfying Morning Meals
One month ago, six women from across the country started a journey to a healthier life through the Womans Day Live Longer & Stronger Challenge with Joy Bauer. So far, the group has lost over 80 pounds and is well on their way to lowering their heart disease risk. Although they all struggled with different eating problems before they began the program, there was one thing they had in common: They didnt eat a healthy mealor any meal at allfor breakfast. Research shows that skipping breakfast messes with your insulin resistance and your metabolism, while having an unhealthy one that lacks protein could lead to needless snacking later in the day. So for the women, changing their breakfast habits was a crucial first step in starting to slim down. Check out how theyve changed their morning ways.

I told you I'd be back soon. And I'm back with one of my favorite recipes! These coconut cupcakes are a staple in my kitchen and one I use often in my catering.
These aren't just coconut cupcakes, these are damn good coconut cupcakes.
They are light, flavored with coconut milk and coconut extract. Originally I didn't use coconut extract, but I found that the flavor of the coconut milk had too subtle a flavor in the baked cupcakes. The addition of coconut extract helps bring that flavor front and center.
Topped with a swirl of cream cheese buttercream also infused with the flavor of coconut, and a sprinkling of toasted coconut, this is a coconut lover's sugary dream.
Coconut Cupcakes
Adapted from Sky High Cakes
Makes one dozen cupcakes
Print this recipe
3 egg whites
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
2 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, at room temperature.
1/2 cup coconut milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners, or grease with butter.
Put the egg whites in a medium bowl. Whisk slightly and and add the milk and coconut extract.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and coconut milk and mix on low until moistened, then raise the speed and mix on medium high until light and creamy, scraping down the bowl as necessary.
Add the egg white mixture in two additions, mixing and scraping down the bowl between each addition. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each liner about 3/4 full.
Bake until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Coconut Cream Cheese Buttercream
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
4 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened coconut
Cream together butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla, mixing until smooth and creamy.
Spread the coconut on a sheet pan. Place in the oven on boil, checking every two minutes. Be careful, the coconut will burn fast. Stir the coconut as needed to promote even toasting. The coconut is toasted when it is golden brown.
Frost the cupcakes with the coconut cream cheese buttercream and sprinkle each with the toasted cupcakes .

Baja Turtle Research & Whale Watching
Join a unique whale watching and turtle research excursion to Magdalena Bay. You will get up close and personal with gray whales and learn about their annual migration all the way from Alaska. You will also have the unique opportunity to participate in hands-on green sea turtle research with local conservationists.
What to Expect?
Day 1 - ARRIVE IN LA PAZ Spend some time exploring the colorful city of La Paz, with its charming boardwalk and many fine restaurants and shops. Dinner is on your own this evening.
Day 2 - LA PAZ TO MAGDALENA BAY After breakfast, we will board a van for the ride to Magdalena Bay, with lunch en route or at camp. Once we arrive at the Bay, a short boat ride delivers us to our base camp, where you'll have an orientation, assignment of tents and a safety briefing. Tonight you'll enjoy a beautiful sunset while the staff prepares a delicious welcome dinner. There will also be an evening presentation.
Days 3 & 4 - MAGDALENA BAY The surreal landscape of the ever changing sand dunes provides a dramatic backdrop for exciting excursions to see the gray whales! There are two excursions each day using motorized skiffs, each lasting up to three hours. Our experienced naturalist guides will point out many behaviors of the whales, including spy hopping, mating, breaching, and nurturing their young. Happy hour brings an opportunity to compare notes with fellow travelers while watching the sun disappear beneath the horizon. After dinner, one of our guides will present a natural history talk to help you learn more about the Baja Peninsula, its local people, and the marine wildlife protected in Magdalena Bay.
Days 5 & 6 - TURTLE MONITORING IN MAGDALENA BAY After breakfast we will take a boat ride to change camp sites. Members of the Cooperativa Eco-Tortugueros, a local conservation group, will welcome us in their Turtle Monitoring camp. Turtle watching offers an alternative to fishing or poaching for local residents who want to see a future for turtles and themselves in the region. We will help to put out the nets and monitor turtles in the following 24 hours, where we will check the nets and bring the turtles ashore for study. Other activities as bird watching & traditional fishing are also possible.
Day 7 - TO LA PAZ Explore the area and perhaps do some bird watching before we check the nets one more time for green turtles. After a final lunch in San Carlos, the group returns to La Paz in the late afternoon for a free afternoon shopping or exploring the town. Dinner is on your own tonight.
Day 8 - TO HOME Depart to your home city with incredible memories, reflecting on your incredible opportunity to work directly with the turtles.

Saturday is "Pay What You Can" day at Stepping Stone Theatre. Come to the box office up to one hour prior to the performance and Pay-What-You-Can (suggested minimum price $5; but pay what you can afford). Reserved tickets will be at regular price.
This month, see Mu Daiko-Taiko Drumming and "Feel The Thunder". I can't imagine you could leave a show like this and not have some aspiring drummers on your hands. If you want some more musical family time at home Disney's Family Fun Magazine has quite a few musical instrument crafts including Spin Drums and good old Oatmeal Container Drums.
As long as you are emptying out an oatmeal container, you could make these Easy Oatmeal cookies from Food.Com. Only 20 minutes of your time and the batch is a small dozen.

Capital Area Council Sporting Clay Event
Thank you Mark.
It is good to see so many friends of Scouting, including numerous public officials.
I'm glad my fellow Aggie Dale Laine is here. I hope Mark Farris is more accurate than I heard you were during the clay shoot.
In just a few years of scouting, young boys and young men learn values that will last them a lifetime.
They learn practical things about the outdoors, and a love of Mother Nature. They also learn about working together, and about striving to achieve a goal.
I remember when I received that Eagle Award, I was as proud as I ever have been in my life.
I knew if I could accomplish that, there was nothing I couldn't accomplish if I set my sights on achieving a goal.
Discipline, duty, honor, and a love of country are all a part of the Scouting tradition, a tradition I am glad so many of you here are supporting.
Your funds will enable the Scouting tradition to grow stronger in Central Texas. As we look to the future, we know Texas will succeed or fail based on the quality of leaders we develop in our classrooms, on our Little League and Soccer Fields, and in the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America.
Those little ones learning their ABC's and fractions are the hope of tomorrow. That's why we created a Math Initiative to improve math in public schools. That's why we raised standards so that students are prepared for college when they graduate from high school.
That's why we expanded the TEXAS Grant program, so more deserving Texans can go to college.
Scouting is a great tradition in America, and a vital part of preparing the leaders of the future. I want to thank you for supporting this great tradition. Future generations will be indebted to you. Thank you, and God bless.
