Tammy Credicott is a recipe developer, part-time blogger and the author of Paleo Indulgences (release date: September 18th, 2012) and The Healthy Gluten-Free Life. She and her husband owned a successful gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free bakery in Bend, Oregon, The Celiac Maniac, before they were inspired to transform their health further by switching to a Paleo lifestyle. Tammy has a passion for understanding health and wellness as it relates to nutrition and has used this knowledge to help her family overcome health issues such as celiac disease, ADD, night terrors and eczema.
A self-taught home cook extraordinaire and Food Network junkie, she has transformed her family's well-being with the creation of simple, healthy, allergy friendly recipes that fit their busy lifestyle. And while some of her favorite things include summer vacation, months ending in "-ber," and photography, she finds her passion and enthusiasm for life in the kitchen with her family.
Tammy lives in Bend, Oregon, with her husband and two daughters, and in her spare time, she likes to help her husband, Cain, with recipes and photography for Paleo Magazine, the only print magazine dedicated to the Paleo lifestyle and ancestral health.
Q: How did you get involved in cooking to begin with?
It always starts with mom, doesn't it? My mom was a fantastic home cook, which of course, I never appreciated enough growing up. She was always there to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner, 7 days a week. My fondest memories are of coming home to fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, and during the holidays, to pumpkin bread. She taught me how to cook by letting me help her in the kitchen early on. I'm doing the same with my kids, only without the gluten and sugar. You'll always find them in the kitchen with me!
Was it something you learned to love early on or did you come to it later?
I did love it early on, but not really the cooking so much as the baking. I was an avid baker up until a couple of years ago when I finally converted to a Paleo lifestyle. I went from a traditional baker to a gluten free baker to the occasional Paleo baker! I started loving to cook real food once I got married. It's so much more rewarding cooking for others!
Q: Why is eating grass-fed meat and sustainably-caught fish different? How does it affect your cooking?
The flavor and the nutritional quality of grass-fed meat and wild fish are far superior to feed-lot or farm raised. It affects cooking by naturally making your dishes taste better! Cook times are also a little less using grass-fed meat which saves time in the long run.
Q: Is it just about health? Or is there more to it than that?
For myself and our family it's primarily about health, though the peace of mind knowing that grass-fed is better for the animals and better for the planet have become important to us too.
Q: How did you learn about grass-fed meat?
I was already an organic shopper prior to going Paleo, but it wasn't until I read information from folks like Robb Wolf, Mark Sisson and others that the concept of eating grass-fed meat really sunk in. Being that I grew up eating venison, elk, moose etc. (my dad is an avid archery hunter) it was an easy philosophy to understand. For some reason it took going Paleo for me to apply the "animals should eat what they're designed to eat too" concept to my store bought meats.
Q: Why is it so important to have the right ingredients?
The right ingredients, for me means fresh, local if possible, organic and grass-fed. Using these types of ingredients ensure maximum nutrition and the best flavor possible. It's kind of like cooking insurance...if you buy quality ingredients, you don't have to do a lot to them to make them taste great so it's hard to mess it up!
Q: What are the most important keys to success for the home chef?
First and foremost, RELAX in the kitchen! I talk to so many people that analyze and stress over the smallest details in a recipe. I just want to sit them down and have them take a few deep breaths! It's like anything in life, if you relax and have fun with it, success will come. And if you make mistakes, oh well, that's how you learn. Oh, and don't be afraid to trust your gut and use common sense in the kitchen. If the recipe says cook it for 20 minutes, but you know it's done after 15, go ahead and take it off the heat. It's impossible for every recipe to account for every variable of every person and kitchen, so make sure to listen to your inner chef!
Q: What are your best tips for home cooking?
Organization is the thing that saves me in the kitchen. Make a menu for the week and use that to make a grocery list. Shop once a week and get everything you need. A lot of people don't cook and think home cooking is difficult because they don't plan ahead or have the right ingredients. If you spend a little time each week planning ahead and grocery shopping, you'll be much more successful, save money and feel better!
Q: What is your favorite recipe using grass-fed meat?
Anything with skirt steak!! It's so tender, flavorful and juicy, and you can season it just about any way you'd like. But I really love how quickly it cooks. Throw on some spices, grill a couple of minutes per side, and you're good to go. That's a busy mom's weeknight dream meal!

|Tom Cannavan's wine-pages.com
These might be wines that have been reviewed during the month on wine-pages, or have appeared in my newspaper column, or they may be wines from a recent tasting that hasn't yet been
written-up in a full-length report. There is a growing archive of these four of the best choices each month.
under a fiver
Michele Chiarlo (Italy) "Nivole" Moscato d'Asti 2002
How amazing that a supermarket chain can stock a wine like this. I am a huge fan of good Moscato d'Asti, but it is incredibly difficult to find in UK stores, usually through only a few specialists. Here, Booths have secured a parcel of a gorgeous wine from top maker Michele Chiarlo in a delightful half-bottle size. This comes from 25-year-old grapes in a single vineyard. If you haven't tasted one of these ethereally delicate wines you are in for a treat: 5.5% alcohol and gentley sparkling, this has an uplifting fragrance of blossom, spring flowers, apricot and delicate strawberry or violet creams. On the palate it has a magical sweetness of sherbet and summer fruits, with fresh, chilled grape notes and a sublime balance thanks to impeccable acidity. This is a real treat.
Booths & Booths online, £4.99 per 37.5cl

Georges Bertrand (France) Corbières 2000
The complete antithises of the Shiraz below, this is a typical regional blend of 40% Carignan, 30% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. The label says "Vieilli en Fût de Chêne", an expression I've never come across before, indicating simply that the wine was aged for one year in oak. It has a brilliant but deep garnet colour and a bright, pepper and cherry nose, with hints of clove and spice, and just a touch of cedary old oak. On the palate there is good, fleshy fruit that is smooth and savoury, with dry, prune flavours and plenty of tannic grip. This is a wine that needs a steak or roasted meat dish, but offers a lot of style for the money. Very good indeed.
Safeway £6.49

sky's the limit
Wirra Wirra (Australia) McLaren Vale Shiraz 2001
Really sumptuous, no apologies, full-on style of classic McLaren Vale Shiraz here, with deep, inviting custardy vanilla layered over ripe mulberry and baked plum-pie fruit, woodsmoke, and a massive, sour, dark chocolate and damson edge. It has an equally sensuous yet serious palate with grippy tannins and rough, plumskin bittersweet fruit layered lushly over ripe, but powerful tannins. Plenty of sweet fruit fills the mid-palate before a grippy, structured core powers the finish in this full-textured wine. Brilliantly evocative stuff with masses of character and typicity for lovers of the hedonistic style at a very reasonable price. Excellent.
Everywine, Lay & Wheeler, Vin du Vin, Sainsbury's Chelsea - £11.99.
Domaine Fernand-Pernot (Burgundy) Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques 1969
This is the domaine now known as Domaine Fourrier. At this time it was operated by the grandfather of the current proprietor, Jean-Marie Fourrier. Opened by Zubair Mohamed at dinner in the excellent Vintner's Rooms in Edinburgh, this joins the ranks of the truly, truly great Burgundies I have tasted. The colour is still exceptionally pure ruby, and the nose is just ethereal; that perfectly integrated, seamless melange of old, warm coffeeish oak, ripe, soft, but beautifully concentrated fruit and all sorts of nuances of game, woodland floor and sweet demerara sugar . The mouthfeel is pure silk, and those lush, all-enveloping flavours continue. The tannins are svelte and polished, but still adding structure, with a plummy acidity, but this is all about hedonsim and pure poetry. A wonderful, wonderful Burgundy and quite outstanding. You would only find this wine at auction or possibly from specialist brokers.

WASHINGTON – More than 1 million acres of government-owned land surrounding the Grand Canyon is off-limits to new mining claims until Dec. 20.
Department of the Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on Monday announced the six-month emergency moratorium on new mining claims on federal land surrounding Grand Canyon National Park.
Salazar said the extra time is needed to fully evaluate arguments in the case, but added that the department's preferred option is a 20-year withdrawal of that land when a final decision is made later this year.
Existing approved mines can continue to operate, and existing claims won't be affected.
The announcement was quickly attacked by mining supporters. Rep. Trent Franks, R-Glendale, whose district contains some of the land, said in a statement that the decision makes up to 375 million pounds of uranium off-limits, "putting the desires of a handful of rabid environmentalists above America's long-term energy independence and national security."
The U.S. Geological Survey estimates uranium deposits in the withdrawn areas represent only 12 percent of the total in northern Arizona and would meet domestic needs for six years.
Salazar — who set the tone of his address with mentions of explorer John Wesley Powell, Theodore Roosevelt and Stephen Mather, the first director of the National Park Service — said the extension would allow the department enough time to fully assess the long-term actions it is considering. A previous ban was set to expire on July 20.
"We face a choice that could profoundly affect the Grand Canyon in ways we do not yet understand," Salazar said.
Officials who spoke during the announcement said caution is needed because of uranium mining's potential impact on the Colorado River and the water it supplies to millions of western Americans.
"Powell predicted more than 100 years ago that the greatest resource in the West would not be a mineral in the ground," said USGS Director Marcia McNutt.
The agency advised Salazar on the effects increased mining could have on water quality as well as the magnitude of uranium deposits in the withdrawal area.
In a written response to the announcement, the National Mining Association questioned the integrity of the regulatory process, saying the Bureau of Land Management hasn't proved mining outside the national park would threaten resources within it.
Like Franks, Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Flagstaff, immediately released a statement slamming Salazar's decision. Gosar also has affected land in his district.
He called the withdrawal "arbitrary" and said it "makes it certain none of the economic potential in the area will be realized."
But several who spoke in favor of Salazar's decision said there's no guarantee jobs created by allowing new mining claims would benefit unemployed Arizonans.
"Whatever jobs were created would end up in Utah," said Richard Mayol, spokesman for the Grand Canyon Trust. "This is the Grand Canyon State, and we're going to protect it."
Supporters pointed to the economic importance of tourism to northern Arizona.
"Secretary Salazar has protected a national treasure, and, equally important, he's chosen an economic engine that will last forever," said Jim Stipe, chairman of the Arizona Council of Trout Unlimited.
Coconino County Supervisor Liz Archuleta said she was "very pleased" the land is off-limits to new mining claims while a more complete study is done.
Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Tucson, was recognized during the announcement for his efforts to ensure the conservation of the land near the Grand Canyon. He would like to see a permanent withdrawal of the area — something that must be approved by Congress — and has submitted a bill proposing that.
"(That land) belongs to all of us, and generations to come — they need to honor that," said Grijalva.

I am! I'm 37 weeks as of yesterday and baby's still sitting pretty high. I have an appointment on Thursday and doubt anything will have changed by then. I've had it pretty easy so far and am not totally uncomfortable yet so I wouldn't be surprised if she decided to hang out til EDD of June 10th.
micabush:I am. I feel like I might be pregnant forever. And I'll be the only June mom left on the board, EDD 6/30
I'm not due till June 30th, either.
The end seems so far away...haha
ameh13:Not in the May club yet...but with this full moon coming up, I think it will be an exciting weekend for a lot of June moms!
This is what I'm hoping for!! Don't know how I just made this italics..darn... anyways, I'll be 39 weeks on Saturday, so yay full moon...work your magic!
Seriously! I am still pregnant.
I was keeping track mentally of the new babies but I can't keep up! I want to sincerely congratulate each new mom but I feel like I am double congratulating some while not congratulating others! I don't want it to seem unheartfelt (I guess that isn't a word but you get it).

Advisory Board
Summer Reading Paves Path to Fall Book Fair Excitement
A public library system and a suburban middle school though very different entities share a vision for helping students return to school in the fall excited about literacy and learning. And students who are excited about literacy and learning are students who will knock down the doors of your fall Book Fair.
Find inspiration from how summer reading was placed at the bullseye of their literacy efforts.
San Antonio Public Library System: Reading as a Community Culture
A love for reading trickles down from the top in the city of San Antonio, where Mayor Julian Castro a father of a preschool-age daughter sees summer reading as a key to a turnaround in his citys approach to education by the year 2020.
Our mayor is very committed to education, says Viki Ash, coordinator of childrens services for the San Antonio Public Library System. The library serves 1.7 million residents and 16 school districts in the thriving bilingual and bicultural city.
Here in San Antonio, we want to raise children who really read . . . We believe that the best reward for reading is more reading. Viki Ash, coordinator of childrens services, San Antonio Public Library System
The long-established summer reading club requires independent readers to read eight books to complete the requirements, while non-readers must listen to 15. The prize: a certificate signed by the mayor and a free paperback. Students celebrate meeting their reading goals in end-of-summer celebrations at each library, where kids and families can enjoy crafts, activities, and food.
San Antonios public libraries partner with schools throughout the area, providing ongoing programs for children and library card access. The librarys website links to recommended reading lists from many of the local school districts.
The library system even partners with organizations such as the YMCA and the Parks and Recreation Department. We can sign up the children who are already gathered for the summer care and enrichment programs. Working with their teachers and leaders, we actually track those children who complete the summer reading program, Viki shares. Last summer, about 24,000 children participated in the summer reading club, with nearly half of them meeting their reading goals.
Here in San Antonio, we want to raise children who really read, not because someone has given them a big prize for it or because their teachers say they have to read 20 minutes a night. We believe that the best reward for reading is more reading, Viki says.
Walter C. Young Middle School: Reading for All
Walter C. Young Middle School is in the idyllic community of Pembroke Pines in Broward County, Fla. But thats not the whole story. About 300 of the schools 1,250 students transfer to Walter C. Young from schools that dont make annual yearly progress, an option families are given under the No Child Left Behind law.
Principal Chip Osborn wont allow any child to be left behind. According to seventh-grade reading teacher Hope Fisher, Mr. Osborn supports the culture of reading at our school. His commitment to literacy is evident by his endorsement of the Scholastic Summer Challenge and a variety of other schoolwide reading initiatives.
Hope came up with the idea of a read-in, an event in which Chip says he will enthusiastically participate. On an early-release day, students can be dismissed from classes and join in a reading or literature circle, Chip says.
Access isnt limited to classroom libraries. The schools library doubles as a county library, so the faculty pushes hard for all students to obtain library cards. Hope sent home letters to be signed by parents in which she asked parents to accompany their children to the library to get a library card. She followed it up with calls to reiterate the importance of supporting our efforts to bring more books into the hands of children by arranging a library visit to obtain a card, she says.
The library card is a license to learn and explore the wide range of interests of our middle schoolers as they advance to high school, college, and adulthood. Students are given class credit for obtaining a library card and extra credit for borrowing a library book to read in class, Hope explains. It is wonderful to notice the library key tag hanging from student ID lanyards. Walking around with a book in hand has become a student status symbol. Readers are now prepared to enjoy the convenience of checking out library books to read and the ease of electronically tracking summer reading minutes.
Last March, the school kicked off its summer reading Book Fair with a rally in which students held up their library cards and mugged for a group photo.
Schools arent always in the unique situation that were in with having our own county library, Chip admits. When students get their own library cards, they go there with their parents and get oriented. If you start that push during the school year, thats a great first step toward year-round reading and access to books.
Last year the school participated in the
Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge
for the first time. Parents received letters informing them about the library card emphasis and participation in the challenge. Students will become familiar with the challenges
during their critical thinking and reading classes so the process is already established and theyre continuing it over the summer, Chip says.
I think those two things participating in the Scholastic Summer Reading Challenge and using the Scholastic Reading Timer App will take our summer reading program to the next level.
Walter C. Young Middle School Principal Chip Osborn
The students will also take advantage of the no-cost
Scholastic Reading Timer App
with the goal of promoting friendly competition among students. The goal, of course, is for students to meet or beat personal reading goals, Chip says. I think those two things participating in the Scholastic Summer Challenge and using the Scholastic Reading Timer App will take our summer reading program to the next level.
Hope is already seeing results with her students. One student a non-reader went ahead and got his library card. He brought it to me and smiled. The next day, he showed me the books he borrowed. Each morning he would come and read near me. I asked if he would like to tell the class what it means for him to be a reader. He asked, What if they wont listen to me? I said, Even if you change one persons attitude toward reading, that would be something special. Thats what were looking for: encouraging one reader at a time.

Definitions for obsidianəbˈsɪd i ən
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word obsidian
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
ob•sid•i•anəbˈsɪd i ən(n.)
a volcanic glass similar in composition to granite, usu. dark but transparent in thin pieces, and having a good conchoidal fracture.
Category: Petrology
Origin of obsidian:
1790–1800; < L Obsidiānus, printer's error for Obsiānus pertaining to Obsius, the discoverer (according to Pliny) of a similar mineral in Ethiopia; cf. ME obsianus < L; see -an1
Princeton's WordNet
acid or granitic glass formed by the rapid cooling of lava without crystallization; usually dark, but transparent in thin pieces
a type of black glass produced by volcanos
Webster Dictionary
a kind of glass produced by volcanoes. It is usually of a black color, and opaque, except in thin splinters
Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed as an extrusive igneous rock. It is produced when felsic lava extruded from a volcano cools rapidly with minimum crystal growth. Obsidian is commonly found within the margins of rhyolitic lava flows known as obsidian flows, where the chemical composition induces a high viscosity and polymerization degree of the lava. The inhibition of atomic diffusion through this highly viscous and polymerized lava explains the lack of crystal growth. Obsidian is hard and brittle; it therefore fractures with very sharp edges, which had been used in the past in cutting and piercing tools, and has been used experimentally as surgical scalpel blades.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
a hard, dark-coloured rock of a glassy structure found in lava, which breaks with conchoidal fracture.

From Our Clients
My expectations were high, and were exceeded… Apart from the general delights of the day it has sparked off some fascinating thoughts about quality food. I find it wonderfully ironic that possibly the best ricotta in the world is only available to a handful of peasant farmers, and no amount of money will enable the richest people to buy it unless they make the journey up into the Tuscan hills.
Sue and I had a fabulous time learning about the local food and tasting local wines. I am interested in learning more about the Tuscan wines and will clearly have to do more homework before I next return. Thank you for showing us your Lucca and we will be following your blog. Hopefully we will meet once again.
We enjoyed the tour immensely and look back on all we did with great fondness. You are a wonderful tour guide. You took us to places we definitely wouldn't have seen on our own. I will cherish my memories forever.
A brilliant four days that we got so much out of on both the foodie and the cultural side, as well as meeting lovely and interesting people. We know from running holidays for people what a huge amount of work goes on in the background and you really gave us the works with your efficiency and attention to detail and your easy nature. It was worth every last calorie! Clare and Steven (proud members of 'the-best-course-so-far' club)
Just wanted to say how wonderful it was spending time with all you passionate people! We are all the bit wiser because of our organizers ( Erica & Giancarlo ) and the wonderful teachers we met along the way.
Thank you so much for a wonderful week, it really revives the spirit!
I just got back a few days ago and am still basking in the glow of learning and fellowship that I experienced on your course. Wow-- just WOW! As a cheesemaker, it was very important to me to meet other artisans in their unique spaces, see them work with their hands and herds, and discuss the challenges we all face in this business. Experiencing their more traditional practices will help me make more authentic products for the growing market here in the States.
The trip generated more than new knowledge about traditional Italian cheesemaking. It also fostered fellowship among us as cheese professionals, and we're already writing regular updates and sharing best practices with one another. One of my fellow travelers, who is starting a cheese business, is even coming to visit my farmstead creamery and continue our learning adventure in real time!
We LOVED our Cheese course with you! We learned so much and the food was beyond amazing. I'm afraid that you have turned us into food snobs. David and I need to come back for another tour!
I just wanted to say thank you again for organising such a fabulous day for us on Friday, we all thoroughly enjoyed it, the highlight for all of us being the visit to Gabriella and Alfredo's house. This of course does not take away from the visit to the village and the winery, both of which were excellent. Mirko was an absolute delight! This was not because he spoke English, but because he was so engaging, genuine and he had a continuous smile to share.
The visit to Gemma and Cerasa farm inspired me to have a go at making cheese again and I made a small bit of cheddar a few weeks ago. I was too curious and we tried it far too soon (it was still rubbery and tasteless) but it looked like cheese, smelt like cheese and had the potential to taste like cheese so I am very pleased. I'll certainly make more.
I often think of the wonderful experiences Jane and I had in the Garfagnana because of you. Thank you for your excellent personalized program for the week. Our time with you was a definite success.
We have very fond memories of our weekend with you, it was a real highlight of our holiday, so many special experiences.
Thank you to both you and Giancarlo, we had a fantastic and educational time with you guys. Every class was informative, the norcini were fantastic, generous with their knowledge as were you and Giancarlo. I do believe Sapori e Saperi is doing a wonderful service to artisan salumi producers, by exposing them to the world and allowing outsiders into their inner sanctum. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in furthering their knowledge of (in particular Tuscan style) salumi.
Both you and Giancarlo are passionate, enthusiastic people delivering a truly memorable course. The norcini we met were true artisans with a lot of skill and enthusiasm which is always fantastic for me to see. I have come back to the UK with a new deeper understanding of air drying pork products. I must say the first evening's meal, at Gabriella's home was FABULOUS, a definite highlight!
I want to thank you so much for making my visit to these parts so memorable—the artisan visits have all been excellent, and the artisans themselves so engaging and inspiring.
Thank you so much for organising such a wonderful tour. We all had a great trip! As much as we have enjoyed everything that we have seen, and done (and eaten), the best part is who we have met and shared stories with.
I joined the course with Heather last May as a break from home, my husband was very ill. It was the most wonderful week! We had the privilege to meet many people in their own homes and experience their passion and enthusiasm for their cheese, textiles, bread, life. The small group allowed us to be flexible and experience things a larger group would not be able to — hands on cooking, dinner in a family home. The people on the course had an interest in textiles, weaving, dyeing, woodworking making looms and spindles, as well as other varied interests. Spending a week with this group, I have met people from Canada and Vienna as well as the UK. I am currently booking my next course for next spring.
Amazing people make amazing things happen. I fully recommend this course to anyone who wants to see fine Italian meats in action, eyes wide open!! I'm blown away at the amount I have taken from this. Giancarlo Russo and Heather Jarman delivered an in-depth look at the production and the practices of some very knowledgeable Artisans. Loved every minute. If you get the chance or have time, the extension to this course is the cream of the lardo! I met a 4th-generation family up in the hills above a small wine valley. This guy, his dad and uncle and the mum and aunt are truly spot on Salumi.
The most unfortunate part of our trip was that we were only able to spend two days with Heather (Erica). Her passion for the Tuscan culture is exemplified by the lasting friendships she has created with the local artisans. As a result of these relationships, we were able to enter into these artisans' homes and learn about and participate in their crafts. Words cannot describe the intimate, personable experience that she provides. If you want a unique and memorable experience, Heather will exceed any expectation.
This is the most relaxing vacation we have ever taken. We even forgot what day it is! What a varied number of experiences. Heather has shown us an Italy we could never have seen on our own.

enjoy your efforts with the Bluffton Today, but some thought should go into your free distribution. As I drive around Bluffton, I see many copies of your newspaper on roads, beside roads, in ditches, and strewn on front lawns. Maybe nobody lives at that residence; maybe they don't pick up things tossed on their property, maybe a lot of things, but your newspaper distribution needs some thought. Do we just drop off a copy at every home or mail box each day even if old copies are piling up?? Think about image and second, think about the litter that is being created.

PROMIS Centre offers an innovative R&D facility for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry
PROMIS Centre offers an innovative R&D facility for the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry
The PROMIS Centre is a multidisciplinary research consortium developing and using new methods for the analysis and optimisation of pharmaceutical processes. The latest investment at the PROMIS Centre is a continuous powder to tablet roller-compaction line. This enables the development of new drug manufacturing practices and integration of in-line measurement systems. The pilot line combines the latest measurement, automation and control solutions in pilot scale.
The PROMIS Centre pilot line offers an excellent R&D project environment for new drug manufacturing concept R&D projects. The PROMIS Centre utilises both the process measurement expertise of VTT and the simulation and process know-how of the University of Eastern Finland. This multidisciplinary research expertise and significant investment in pilot lines makes the PROMIS Centre a very attractive collaboration partner for pharmaceutical and sensor & automation companies.
"A new continuous roller-compaction tableting pilot line has been installed at the PROMIS Centre laboratory and will be used to develop new and efficient ways for manufacturing tablets. We would like to see our investment in the PROMIS Centre playing an important role in the development of more efficient pharmaceutical manufacturing concepts in Finland and Europe," says PROMIS Centre Director Jarkko Ketolainen.
VTT has studied process analytical technologies (PAT) for close to ten years. Over the past three years development has focused on continuous pharmaceutical process measurements. VTT coordinates the Tekes-funded research project CoCo (Continuous processing, monitoring & Control in pharmaceutical manufacturing), where the main research themes involve study of new continuous manufacturing concepts for dry and wet granulation, blending and tableting. VTT utilises an extended experience of multipoint NIR and Raman measurements and imaging technologies in research and pilot environments.
Process analytical technologies (PAT) can be used to design, analyse and control pharmaceutical manufacturing processes through the measurement of critical process parameters (CPP). These affect the critical quality attributes (CQA) of the manufactured products. Measurement of CPP enables greater efficiency and provides real-time process control tools for the pharmaceutical industry.

10 Coolest Tech Gadgets to Seal the Deal
5. 3M MP180 projector ($449)
The trick with sales is having your message ready when -- and where -- your customer is ready. I have no idea how the perfect tiny presentation tool to meet these mobile needs wound up being made by big ol' Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co. But it did. 3M (MMM) makes a simply tremendous line of palm-sized projectors, and the best of the bunch right now is the MP180.
Understand that the MP180 will not rival even modest business projectors for average corporate use. It's too dim and low-functioning for that. But this unit has other virtues: It fits in your pocket and runs on batteries, so when you need to pitch al fresco -- that is, right where you are -- the MP180 produces a surprisingly clear, roughly 10-inch image.
The MP180 comes loaded with surprisingly handy features, including 4 GB of storage. That means you can take even a monstrous presentation with you no matter where you go. There is support for many Microsoft (MSFT) software options, and I actually found the menus to be idiot-proof, so even the non tech-savvy among us should have no problem dialing up on-the-go presentations.Instead of sketching your idea on a napkin over that next business lunch, you can actually show your idea on that napkin over lunch. How slick is that?

Return to Pine Bluff
By John Cloud
The city wasn't unfriendly, exactly, but it was a hard, divided place. Although mostly African-American, whites held much of the political power well into the 1980s. Buried resentments simmered everywhere, their noxious fumes mixing with the foul chemical smells that constantly wafted from the International Paper mill outside town.
A wide, flat, bosky city, Pine Bluff has few landmarks aside from a locally famous billboard for Sunbeam bread that stands at the corner of Harding and Main. Sunbeam's logo features a little white girl who -- on the Pine Bluff billboard -- rides a motorized swing dangling from a fake tree. Back and forth Little Miss Sunbeam goes, constantly, never really going anywhere -- or at least that's how it felt to a boy who desperately wanted to get away.
When I was 14, I called the anonymous help line at the low-slung Hazel Street Church of Christ -- which I attended three times a week (twice on Sundays and once on Wednesday evenings). When you called the help line, you didn't have to talk to a real person. Instead, you could dial a code to hear recorded advice about any number of sins -- adultery, drugs, lust. I pressed the numbers to hear the advice about homosexuality. My preacher, Joe Goodspeed -- a sweet man who wasn't afraid to challenge the church's strict moral code by mowing his lawn in shorts -- was the one reading the message. I don't remember his exact words, but I do remember the gist was that homosexuality was a grave sin that people had to fight.
And fight I did. Also, I schemed to leave. I studied like a hermit. I volunteered to tutor the illiterate. I edited the yearbook. I played on the golf team. And I self-medicated with what we called 'half-and-halves.' Recipe: Go to 7-Eleven. Purchase a Big Gulp. Fill with Coke and plenty of ice. Once outside, dump half the Coke. Replace that half with Jim Beam. Enjoy. Repeat ad libitum.
We drank half-and-halves in the little open space at the end of a dirt road out toward the paper mill. Someone would invariably set up speakers in the back of a pickup, and we would blast the Steve Miller Band until we had to drive home. Miraculously, only one boy I knew in high school died in a drunk driving accident. My rule was never to drive above 20 miles an hour, and even then, I once veered into a ditch. The next day, my dad asked why I had dirt and grass caked under the front of my car. I don't remember what lie I told him.
Lies came easily, of course. Back in eighth grade, I had dated a girl in our class, Jessica Welch, who three years later became Miss Arkansas Teen USA. Jessica didn't win Miss Teen USA, but she was beautiful, and she filled out a swimsuit so nicely that I grew curious to feel her breasts. When I finally did, in the back of her sister's car as the radio played some '80s power ballad, I explored her breasts the way a scientist would probe the outer dermis of a rare animal.
Jessica didn't arouse me, but I did like kissing her, since her lips were fuller than Mark's. Tellingly, Jessica and I both loved George Michael. 'Careless Whisper' was our song. When the video came on MTV, we would call each other and say stupid, wistful things. We imagined ourselves on that balcony where, at the end of the video, Michael -- dressed all in white, as though about to play tennis -- gazes into a sunset.
I saw Jessica for the first time since graduation on the first night of reunion weekend. The class of '89 met at Eden Park, an old, modest swim club where many of us had spent long afternoons as kids, drinking Coke from Styrofoam and lunching on overcooked hamburgers and undercooked fries.
Jessica Welch is now Jessica Eriksmoen. When I had arrived in Pine Bluff, she and my old friends John Smyth and Scott McCarty had picked me up from the Ramada. Jessica and Scott were drinking red wine they had opened earlier. I thought I needed a drink, but it was shocking how quickly the four of us rewound the 20 years. Old stories spilled from us like gleaming marbles from a felt bag. John Smyth recalled how my dad had refused to allow me to stay at John's house during a freak Arkansas snowstorm, and I instantly felt again my adolescent loathing for my father and the strength of the bond with my friends.
I was not surprised to find that Jessica, the teen beauty queen, was still beautiful, but I was surprised to see that she had acquired an earth-mother look. Her dark hair fell across her shoulders in glossy tendrils. She wore a complicated array of black lace and flower-print garments, one of which crisscrossed those ample breasts at an odd but flattering angle. A professional singer who has performed the lead in the tribute play Always...Patsy Cline for 14 years, Jessica has also developed an abiding interest in parrots (she helps nurse sick ones back to health) and alternative medicine (she is training to be an Ayurvedic therapist). Somewhere along the way, Jessica had become a little less Christie Brinkley and a little more Stevie Nicks.
We drank copious amounts of wine that first night, so I was still hungover when I met my old friends at the Holiday Inn Express pool the next day. There, it became clear that I wasn't the only person who had come out since high school. Back then, my friend Jay was a sweet, rather quiet guy in the international club. Now he is a blond-tipped queen with a scathing wit and a taste for Winstons. He tossed his used butts into the bushes next to the pool.
There was also a lesbian -- a woman I only dimly recall from high school -- who arrived at the reunion with a mysterious leg injury and who, as the day wore on, blessedly offered us some of her Vicodin and Klonopin. Also at the pool was a close friend, a guy I had suspected of being gay for years, who was now finally admitting privately he is 'bisexual' and dating a man in Memphis. And then there was me: divorced from my boyfriend of eight years, trying to hold onto my tiny nubs of Manhattan and journalism even as they constantly threaten to crumble under my feet. As our revelations, regrets, and triumphs tumbled out of us, I recognized a feeling I had never experienced as a kid in Pine Bluff: lightness, ease, comfort in my own (now rather sunburned) skin.

|Are you the person you want to be?
|Are you doing all of the things you'd like to do?

Pop is the ninth studio album by Irish rock band U2, released in March 1997. The album was a continuation of the band's 1990s reinvention, as they pursued a new musical direction by combining alternative rock, techno, dance, and electronica influences. The album employs a variety of production techniques relatively new to U2, including sampling, loops, programmed drum machines, and sequencing. Recording sessions began in 1995 with various record producers, including Nellee Hooper, Flood, Howie B, and Steve Osborne, who were introducing the band to various electronica influences. At the time, drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. was inactive due to a back injury, prompting the other band members to take different approaches to songwriting. Upon Mullen's return, the band began re-working much of their material but ultimately struggled to complete songs. After the band allowed manager Paul McGuinness to book their upcoming 1997 PopMart Tour before the album was completed, U2 were rushed into completing the album. Even after delaying the album's release date from the 1996 Christmas and holiday season to March 1997, U2 ran out of time in the studio and the final product was not to their liking. Since the album's release, many of its songs have been re-recorded and remixed.

ecigarettes UK 2013@
E-Lites Review 2013
We tested E-Lites against all the other UK brands and for performance and realism nothing comes close to E-Lites for consistancy of vape and similarity to real cigs. Unfortunately many of the newsagent ecigs are not in the same league, as the E-Lites pro 4 model for example using G9 technology which is better than anything else on sale in the UK market.
By the way, as from 2013 we found some exclusive voucher codes
70% off
for E-Lites that you can get here below...
If you are interested about using electronic cigarette then you should first do research so that you will obtain information. Electronic cigarette is a device used by smokers who are decided to quit smoking gradually. There are several brands of electronic cigarettes available in the market. In this sense, it is necessary to make a smart choice. One of the brands is the E-Lites electronic cigarette that is manufactured by a UK based company. Before using this electronic cigarette you should first read E-Lites review so that you will know the features offered by it.
E-Lites review
will let you know about the features of a certain product. The pack of E-Lites electronic cigarette looks similar with the standard box of butts that can hold five cartridges and one G9 battery that compose the kit. The battery has green and red LED that light up when pulled and tubular in shape. The light tells if the battery needs to be charged. The cartridges include sponge-like material that is soaked in propylene glycol and the atomizer. The atomizer heats up that generates vapor.
Obviously, the
E-Lites review
also tackles about the performance of the product. The battery of this electronic cigarette usually lasts for three days when fully charged but also depends on the frequency of using it. Each E-tip can provide 400 pulls that is equivalent to two packs of traditional tobacco cigarette.
Using an E-LItes electronic cigarette can give the user satisfying experience just like the traditional cigarette. This is the factor that users should pay attention when reading
E-Lites review.
Apparently, the electronic cigarette is heavier and longer as compared to the traditional cigarette. But, there is no issue about that because the user can enjoy the flavor as well as the smell of the nicotine content.
The packaging of the product is a big factor in attracting customers to use the product. As you read the E-Lites review you should consider how the product works does. According to E-Lites review, electronic cigarettes are not considered as smoking cessation tools but as alternatives to smoking tobacco cigarettes. The nicotine content is enough just to satisfy the craving. It is also a good option of smoking replacement therapy.
Moreover, reading E-Lites review gives you the chance to compare the product to its competitors. Similarly, by visiting the website of E-Lites you can find E-Lites review of previous and current users. This is the best way to know whether the product really works and can satisfy your nicotine cravings. Aside from comparing the features you can also compare the performance as well as the cost. As much as possible you should choose electronic cigarette in which the performance is worth the cost.
Therefore, just like in trying new product,
you should read E-Lites review
so that you can make the right decision before you spend some amount of money buying the product. Keep in mind that electronic cigarette is expensive when you buy the starting kit but cheaper in the long run as compared to the traditional cigarette.

The Game and Big Boi Visit '106 & Park'
Big Boi and The Game both drop new albums today, but they kicked off the festivities early with an appearance on Monday's "106 & Park."
The OutKast rapper plugged his sophomore set Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors and shared his plans for Christmas, how his collaboration with A$AP Rocky came about, and the craziest rumor he's heard about himself. He also revealed that he's nine songs into recording his next solo album.
Fresh from his appearance on "The Howard Stern Show," Game spoke about celebrating his birthday with eight parties, working out (he demonstrated his strength by picking up Bow Wow), and his new label Rolex Records, a collaboration with Stat Quo.
He also revealed that he plans to buy 25 Rolexes for his friends this Christmas and confirmed that the next single off Jesus Piece will be the D'Angelo-sampled "All That (Lady)."
Never one to shy away from controversy, he also weighed in on his competition this week, which includes Big Boi and Bruno Mars. "I got four No. 1 albums and let's just say this about to be No. 5," said a confident Game, who broke down some of his famous lyrics "Inside the Rappers Studio."

Mayor Says She Won't Quit
Despite an expected City Council vote this week calling for her resignation, High Point Mayor Bernita Sims told a luncheon gathering Tuesday she will stay on the job.
The council is expected to vote Thursday to seek the mayor's resignation over several issues related to her personal financial affairs, including a state criminal investigation into her handling of a family member's estate and scrutiny over unpaid state income taxes.
In her opening remarks at the State of the Community luncheon for business, government and education leaders at High Point University, Sims called the controversy "the elephant" in the room. She apologized for any distraction the controversy caused and said calls for her to quit are "over the top."
"I will do what I was elected to do," Sims said. "I do apologize if people feel this has been a distraction to the community and from what we do and how we work and serve as a council. I do not believe that is so."
Although the vote seeking her resignation is expected to pass, Sims does not have to quit. Her opponents on council say her problems have undermined public confidence in city government. Some council members have also called for Councilman Foster Douglas to resign over several financial problems he faces.
Sims says her financial issues are personal matters that have nothing to do with her public duties. She talked about her performance as mayor.
"I believe at the end of the day that this does not impact the ability of the city to do what it does," Sims said. "We have worked together every day to do the business of the city and we have done a tremendous job on our budget."
Sims got a laugh on one comment about how the controversy had "jump-started" business for The High Point Enterprise by selling more newspapers.
"At the end of the day, what we do and how we serve is more important than media stats," Sims said.
Calls for Sims' resignation started in Sept. 20 letters to The High Point Enterprise from four council members. Since then, as many as five council members have said they are leaning toward a vote against Sims. A resolution could pass with five votes.
Under state law, a felony conviction is the only grounds for removal of an elected official. High Point has no recall provision that would allow the public to petition to have Sims removed. Sims, who was elected to a two-year term in November 2012, says she believes a vote will distract the council from handling the city's business.
Also at the luncheon:
• Sims detailed city economic development successes and progress on planning for revitalizing three areas of the city.
• County Commissioner Hank Henning mentioned two new committees that are looking into tax policies and education needs. He said he expects commissioners to continue to work to cut the property tax rate.
• Guilford County Board of Education Chairman Alan Duncan called on business and government leaders to work to improve public education. State funding is not meeting the needs of the county's growing district, he said.
"You have a business reason to improve the schools," he said. "Advocate for us."
Council vote
Council members Judy Mendenhall and Becky Smothers called for a special meeting at 9 a.m. Thursday at City Hall to consider seeking Mayor Bernita Sims' resignation.

Jessica is a nice looking Filipina with a pretty smile which she uses frequently, happily lighting up many of these sexy Filipino porn pics. It looks even better in video so be sure to check Trike Patrol to download it along with the rest of the pictures. I don't know what she's done with her eyebrows, well actually I do; she's plucked the shit out of them trying to balance them out. Ladies, I know none of you are reading this but you gotta stop plucking. I've seen some good looking Asian porn girls go from natural beauties to looking like trailer park strippers after a few years working before the camera. All because they are perfectionists with their eyebrows and keep plucking them trying to get the perfect shape. At the end all they're left with is a stick of eyeliner or whatever they use to draw them on. Looks wayyyy to cheap. I like my Filipina girls looking real, I like all my girls looking real, no more of these drawn on clown eyebrows, please ladies. Salamat. Anyways, log in an enjoy this hot Filipina sex video, Jessica gets dirty with that white boys cock, happily gulping it and fucking it til it explodes in the glory of conquest.

Congressional Hearings on "Tough Love" Child Abuse
Trevor Butterworth, April 22, 2008
Spurred by STATS Maia Szalavitz research, the House Education and Labor Committee holds the second round of hearings this Thursday into the widespread abuse of children at residential treatment facilities.
On April 24, 2008, Rep. George Miller (D-CA) Chair of the House Education and Labor Committee will hold a second round of hearings to look into the widespread abuse and 10 deaths of children held in teen "wilderness programs," "boot camps," "emotional growth boarding schools," and other residential facilities. The first round of hearings last October prompted bipartisan outrage at industry abuses that committee members compared to "human right abuses in third world countries."
"Your dog has more protection than your children"
So says STATS Fellow Maia Szalavitz, whose work "Help at Any Cost: How the Troubled Teen Industry Cons Parents and Hurts Kids (Riverhead, 2006) helped expose what she calls an "industry out of control and answerable to no one." Several of the victims profiled in her book have testifed at the first round of hearings, and Szalavitz has served as an advisor to the committee on the history of these camps and the extent of the abuse.
"Most parents are unaware that in many states, dog kennels and nail salons are more highly regulated than the health and safety of children in so called "tough love teen boot camp" institutions. Anyone, including ex-convicts, can open a program. No qualification or certification is required."
House Education and Labor Committee Investigative Hearing on "Cases of Child Neglect and Abuse at Private Residential Treatment Facilities."
Hearing is Thursday, April 24, 2008, 10:00 a.m. EDT
Committee Hearing Room, 2175 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC
Author and expert Szalavitz will be in Washington DC for the hearing and will be available either there or in New York afterwards for interviews. Please email for contact details.

Matthew 6:5-13
There may be no more familiar prayer in the entire world than the Lord's Prayer. It does not seem to matter where you go in the world; if you were to invite people to repeat those words with you the vast majority of people could say them. We may not know many other portions of scripture, and we may not know any other prayer or passage well enough to say from memory, but most of us could work our way through the Lord's Prayer. There might be some division over one part of that prayer, and that would involve whether to say forgive us our trespasses, or forgive us our debts or perhaps forgive us our sins.
The Luke version of the prayer found in Luke 11, which is the version preferred by Roman Catholics, differs from the Matthew version, because it does not include the last three lines about the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. However, with those few differences set aside, most people in this country and in many places around the world could repeat the words of the Lord's Prayer. It is a prayer that many of us learned in our childhood and continue to repeat over and over again for the rest of our lives.
What concerns me this morning is whether or not repeating the prayer is all that we are doing. Has the Lord's Prayer become like the Pledge of Allegiance or the words of the national anthem; words that we speak without really listening to or considering what we are saying? I believe that the words of the Lord's Prayer are among the most revolutionary words ever spoken. When you stop to consider what those words actually say, and if you should decided to live out your life in accordance with what those words actually say, your whole life would begin to move in an entirely different direction.
Consider this prayer in a clause-by-clause analysis. Our father who art in heaven. In this first line we are reminded that no matter what we may face in this world, we have someone to turn to who is big enough, and wise enough and strong enough to help us face and conquer anything. We have a father in heaven that is watching over us and guiding and directing our steps. We have a father in heaven who reminds us that there is a power and a purpose at work in the world beyond our narrow personal and national goals. This prayer automatically causes us to lift up our eyes and lift up our heads and lift up our hearts beyond the problems we face in this world, to a God who urges us to say that "Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal."
If we have a father in heaven, then the next clause in the prayer directs us on what our relationship to that father ought to be; hallowed be thy name. We need to understand the holiness of God, which includes his majesty, his power, his wisdom, his timelessness and his unchanging nature and character all at the same time. God is holy, meaning that God is unlike us in every way possible. You and I are limited creatures who are tied down by time, space and knowledge. We can only be in one place at a time, and there are a multitude of things about which we can only answer by saying I don't know.
