OMG. I made this recipe and now we don't eat cornbread any other way! Alton sure knows how to cook!
By 2511bitters
Weatherford, Texas
on April 15, 2012
Thisis a good basic cornmeal recipe that you can dress up or down. There's no flour to soften the batter, so it's a hearty cornbread. I omit the sugar, replace the canola with bacon fat, and add diced fresh jalapeno...maybe even some shredded cheese. This is probably a Texas variation on Alton's basic cornbread. Thanks, Alton. This is a keeper!
Young Harris, GA
on November 12, 2011
This is so delious and so easy to make. I love the crispy outside and tender inside and it doesn't crumble as you eat it. It is definitely a keeper and I don't need to keep trying cornbread recipes. This is the winner!!! Thanks Alton

Odem woman pleads not guilty to charges
An Odem woman pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges she embezzled more than $500,000 from a Sinton bank while she was its senior vice president.
Shari Lynn Yarbrough was arraigned Wednesday in U.S. Magistrate Judge B. Janice Ellington's court.
In an indictment filed Sept. 12, the FBI accuses Yarbrough of taking money between 1999 and 2005 from what then was Commercial State Bank. The indictment does not describe how the alleged thefts occurred.
Yarbrough, who is out of jail on a $50,000 unsecured bond, has agreed not to apply for work at other banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. announced in 2006.
John Gilmore, Yarbrough's attorney, wouldn't comment Thursday.
Yarbrough's case is set for Nov. 5.

The undergraduate program offers a 120-credit-hour major in geosciences with a concentration in geology or geophysics. Students are required to earn at least a C in the major, minor, and adjunct courses. Successful completion of adjunct courses with a C or better is required before upper-division geoscience courses may be taken.
Field work is a requirement for the B.S. degree. If this is a concern, the B.A. should be considered. However, the B.A. degree also requires field work that may be strenuous.
Geology Concentration (B.S. or B.A.).This concentration offers students the choice of either a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts degree.
- Bachelor of Science — The geology concentration for the B.S. degree is designed to prepare the student for admission to a graduate program in geology and employment as a professional geologist. Each student must complete a senior research project (GEOL 4312) as part of the degree requirements. The minor must be in a field of science, mathematics, engineering, or an approved composite of courses from these fields. A well-prepared student should be able to complete the B.S. in Geosciences with a geology concentration with a minimum of 40 hours in geosciences, 18 hours in the minor, and 24 hours in mathematics and physical sciences. For other students, leveling courses may be required. The residency requirement for the major is 12 hours; for the minor, 6 hours.
- Bachelor of Arts — The geology program leading to the B.A. degree is designed to provide a broad liberal arts background and basic training in the principles of geosciences. The program is designed for students with strong interests in earth processes and the history of nature's initiation of and response to continuous change. Students interested in professional employment or graduate degrees in geology should complete the B.S. degree program, not the B.A. The B.A. program with a concentration in geology requires GEOL 1303, 1101, 2401, 3401, 3402, 4101, 4312, and at least 15 hours of junior-senior level geosciences electives, 9 hours of which must include a laboratory. Adjunct requirements include MATH 1321, CHEM 1307, 1107, PHYS 1403. The minor may be in any area approved by the college.
Geophysics Concentration (B.S.). The Bachelor of Science degree allows students to prepare for employment as a professional geophysicist or enter a graduate program in geophysics, atmospheric sciences, or related areas. Unlike geology, the geophysics concentration includes only a Bachelor of Science and requires a minor in mathematics. The courses required for the geophysics concentration are GEOL 1303, 1101, 2401, 3401, 3402, 4101; either GEOL 4312 or ATMO 4312; GCH 3303; GPH 3300, 3310, 4321, 4323. Adjunct courses include CHEM 1307, 1107; PHYS 1408, 2401. The senior research project (GEOL 4312 or ATMO 4312) must be in a field related to geophysics or atmospheric sciences.
Major in Geography
Texas Tech University offers a 120-hour Bachelor of Arts in Geography and a minor in geography, both of which appeal to students who have broad interests in the relationships of humans and the environment, who are curious about the world, and who like to be challenged. Geographers study how people interact with the environment and how various phenomena are distributed and move over the surface of the earth.
The B.A. degree is intended to provide students with a background in the nature of human interactions with the environment and a solid grounding in data collection and analysis techniques such as field data collection, statistical analysis, and geographic information systems.
Undergraduate majors find interesting careers in the public and private sectors. Geographers work with local, state, and national government agencies and the military. In the private sector, there are increasing demands by business and industry for employees trained in field research methods, geographic information systems, statistical analysis, remote sensing, and other skills acquired by geography students. Geography majors also become teachers at the elementary, secondary, and post-secondary levels. In addition, the undergraduate program can provide a foundation for students who wish to pursue graduate study, whether in geography or some related professional field such as urban or regional planning, environmental and resource management, law, and public affairs.
The geography major consists of 31 hours of coursework in geography plus MATH 2300 or 2345. Required courses are GEOG 1401, 2300, 2351, 3340, 4300; and GIST 3300. An additional 6 hours of courses must be selected from each of the following two blocks: physical geography and geographic information systems block (GEOG 3301, 3310, 3335, 3353, 4301, 4302, 4321, 4357, 4400; GIST 4302, 4304, 4308, 4310, 4312) and human and regional geography (GEOG 3337, 3350, 3351, 3352, 3356, 3360, 3363, and 4305). GEOG 4310, Internship in Geography, is open to seniors with a 3.0 GPA or better and may be substituted for 3 hours of courses in either of the blocks. Students majoring in geography must complete a minimum of 12 semester hours of geography courses from Texas Tech. The geography minor requires at least 6 hours from Texas Tech.
Minors in Geosciences
The department offers six minors: geography, geology, geophysics, atmospheric science, geographic information science and technology, and a composite minor.
- The geography minor requires GEOG 1401, 2300 or 2351; GIST 3300; and 9 hours of upper-division GEOG or GIST courses.
- The geology minor requires GEOL 1303, 1101 (petroleum engineering majors may substitute GEOL 3324, but GEOL 1350 and 1105 may not be included), 2401; one lab course from GEOL 3301, 3401, 3450, or 4334; and additional upper-division GEOL, GPH, GCH hours to total 18 hours in the minor.
- The geophysics minor requires 9 hours in upper-division geophysics and 9 hours of related science or mathematics coursework.

The curriculum is comprised of a minimum of 30 hours of graduate-level coursework, 4 hours of seminar credit, and 6 hours of thesis credit. Students are expected to complete a thesis project as part of the degree requirements.
Master of Science in Geography. The 30-hour master's degree in geography is a thesis-based program designed to provide students with critical thinking skills, specific geographic expertise, spatial analysis techniques, and research experience. Coursework will include GEOG 5312 and 5340, 12 hours in the major, 6 hours in the minor, and 6 hours of thesis.
Doctoral Program
Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree follow those of the Graduate School. The first-year Ph.D. student will be expected to prepare and defend research proposals. The intent of this work is to determine whether the individual is capable of doctoral-level research. In the second year, the student will formalize the dissertation topic and committee. Under normal circumstances the committee will consist of three to five members, including the faculty advisor. The Comprehensive Examination will be completed before the end of the fourth long semester in residence. One tool subject is required. Tool subjects include foreign language, computer science, and statistics and are determined by the graduate advisor and the student's dissertation committee. The tool can be met by taking two successive courses in the tool subject for a total of at least 6 semester hours, except for foreign language as outlined in the Graduate School section of this catalog.
Graduate Certificate
The 15-hour Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Science and Technologyis designed to provide a flexible solution to professionals and recent graduates who would like to further their education in geospatial technology. The core requirements of the program include GIST 5300, 5302, 5304 and two electives. For those new to the field, the program requires GIST 5300 as a leveling course, GIST 5302 and 5304 as core requirements, plus two electives. For recent graduates, credit will not be applied toward the graduate certificate for equivalent courses taken at the undergraduate level. For students who have already completed one or more of the core requirements and/or electives at the undergraduate level, the graduate certificate requires 12 additional hours.

Glaring spelling error aside, I echo this sentiment.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I've started to re-take my wardrobe. It's time.ReplyDelete
I feel that there's so much more buried in this statement too, than what it actually says. "Life is too short." Life flys by so quickly--who wants it to be boring? Clothes are just one part of the outward expression of how you live your life, don't you think?ReplyDelete

Should run Minecraft alright on normal settings(my 5yr old laptop can run minecraft on low settings). Personally, I would wait for a better laptop. Woot has had better laptops for similar prices.
Will this work with my Mac? Yah...refurb!! \o/
Worst Woot-off ever?
This is a really good laptop. Got it for the daughter on Amazon last month for about $520. I personally have two laptops, and my Dv6 is my home, and a dell for work. Mine is a little better with an A10 with 8G. Hers is is the A8. It is an EXCELLENT processor and the graphics are great too. She uses it mostly for minecraft, sims, but I know from testing it that it will also play pretty much every fps shooter as well.
Another great thing about this is that it gets about 5 hours between charges with the standard battery. I think the larger one would push it to 7-8. Audio is awesome, much better than my Dell.
This is a definite recommend from me. I just wish woot had this on 1.5 months ago. :,(
The processor is about the equivalent of an i5. an A10 is about an i7. My dell has an i7 and I honestly think my A10 is a little faster, but it does have a better graphics card so it might matter, a 7700.
I've bought two or three of these refurb laptops. But I won't buy any more until the warranty demonstrates the manufacturer cares about their customers. 1 year should do it. I will no longer do it for a 90 day warranty
i have purchased 3 HP laptops over the last several years and have NEVER had a good expierence EVER with either the laptops or their "customer service".
the most recent one had to be sent back to the "repair" depot three times for the SAME problem. it never got fixed the first two times. in fact, they "replaced" (stole) the two brand new hybrid drives I purchased myself with refurbs while not fixing the real problem.
i think i was ripped off royally!

SpaceX targets first launch of 2014 for January 3
Published On: Dec 27 2013 09:37:00 AM EST
SpaceX is targeting the Cape's first launch of 2014 one week from Friday.
A Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to blast off with Thaicom Plc's Thaicom 6 television satellite at 5:50 p.m. on Jan. 3, the opening of a window that extends to 6:57 p.m., Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.
The launch would be SpaceX's second from the Cape of its upgraded Falcon 9 rocket and second of a commercial communications satellite to a geostationary orbit more than 22,000 miles above Earth, after the Dec. 3 launch of SES-8.
Built by Orbital Sciences Corp. and weighing about 7,300 pounds at launch, Thaicom 6 will provide satellite television service to South and Southeast Asia and southern Africa.

Angered by Proposed Health Plan, San Francisco Chronicle Staffers Staging Social Media Protest
It's been a herky-jerky month for Hearst Corporation. It began with the theatrical roll out of a very good 125th anniversary documentary; continued with a salacious sex scandal involving Scott Sassa; and is now ending with an angry Twitter and Facebook protest by employees at a flagship publication.
Reporters, editors and other workers at the San Francisco Chronicle are using the twin social media powerhouses to register their displeasure at Hearst's desire to shift to a new health insurance plan that they say will dramatically increase costs. For some, this means changing their Twitter avatar to a red box; for others, it's a matter of re-tweeting. And here's how the open letter on Facebook begins:
We, the employees of the San Francisco Chronicle, have had enough.
We love this newspaper, and we've worked hard since the layoffs of 2009 to help keep it afloat. We've done everything Hearst demanded: sacrificing pay raises, giving up seniority, losing vacation time and holidays, even working through what used to be our paid lunch hour.

Kids find football the most sociable sportwww.bt.com/coachingforlife
New research sponsored by BT Coaching for Life, has found football to be the most sociable sport, with 59% of children who play football regularly having 17 friends or more. Three quarters of those parents described their kids as active and sporty. The top ten most social sports were revealed to be:
1. Football – 59%
2. Swimming – 56%
3. Rugby – 20%
4. Ballet/dance classes – 19%
5. Athletics – 18%
6. Netball – 16%
7. Martial Arts – 16%
8. Tennis – 15%
9. Cricket – 13%
10. Gymnastics – 13%
[The percentages relate to children with 17 friends of more]
Coaching for Life programme is aimed at 6 to 11 year olds, and encourages parents and carers to help children try different sports. The programme also includes 12 flexible games available as a downloadable application. The smart phone application means that wherever and whenever you want to get involved in sport, the Coaching for Life games are always in your back pocket. The resource is part of the Communication, Collaboration and Citizenship strand of Get Set, the official London 2012 education programme.
The survey also revealed that nearly two thirds of parents (60%) actively encouraged their kids to join teams and clubs to increase their circle of friends and more than half of parents (57%) believe that by taking part in sports their children's friendship groups will grow.
The figures highlight a strong link between being involved in sports and popularity, as the more teams and clubs a child is active in, the more interaction they will have with peers resulting in more friendships.
Leon Taylor, former Olympic silver medallist and BT Coaching for Life ambassador, said: "Make praise your main tool, the most powerful tool you have as a coach is praise – but be careful to ensure you praise effort not talent. Remember to always be enthusiastic and lively to keep the children engaged and interested. Let children know that mistakes are okay. Finally and most importantly make sure you have fun!"
The research also revealed that 86% of parents would rather their children take part in sports and outdoor pursuits, than playing computer games or watching TV indoors.
The research found that being involved in sports not only means children are more social, but they are better behaved too, nearly half (44%) of teachers surveyed said sporty children concentrate more and are well behaved in class.
Julie Hindley, BT Community Investment Manager, said: "Sports play a really beneficial role in children's lives and can make a big difference in terms of health, well being and performance in other areas of life. As a sustainability partner to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, BT is encouraging parents and carers to help children try different sports together by introducing parents to key coaching principles they can adopt to help children get better at anything they tackle with the Coaching for Life programme.
"Whether your child belongs to every club going or just enjoys playing with friends in the park, it's important they get plenty of physical activity. Sports don't just have to be restricted to school or after school clubs. Parents need to make the most of their weekends and get involved with sports with their kids, and use the skills learnt through sport as a way of educating children about other areas of life."

Hard to believe, but one year ago today, the six most adorable puppies in the whole world were born. On October 7, 2008, Amaya, Aki, Ando, Akoni, Autumn, and Ayumi were introduced to the world via Ustream. Over the next few months, millions of viewers watched the puppies grow, play, and sleep. People were so taken with the little ones that they garnered their own following, known as the Shibaholics!
To celebrate their birthday, Ustream is holding a contest! Look through all the SFShiba recorded videos by going here, and try to find moments where the following things happen:
- One puppy chews on another's tail
- Puppies play with a toy
- Puppy barking
- Puppy yawning
- Puppy fallen and can't get up
Make a note of the URL of the recorded video and the minute and second mark where the moment occurs, and comment on this post. The first person to comment in each category will receive free Ustream swag!
Good luck!

Railroad ties, also known as crossties or sleepers are the primary lateral support for the rails themselves, anchoring the track and giving it a solid, sound base upon which trains can pass over. Over the years crosstie technology has improved to the point that today, the common hardwood tie which has been properly treated with creosote can last at least 30-40 years before being replaced. While the basic design and function of the tie has not changed much in more than a century of use, today's technologies have allowed other materials to be utilized notably concrete and even plastics/composites that generally enhance its livelihood. In any event, while railroads have employed these new ties in some instances, especially concrete on heavily used main lines, wood remains the preferred choice due to its cost and generally-good life expectancy.
During the railroad industry's infancy railroad ties, if they were used at all, were some type of stone blocks. Due to weight and cost large, heavy stone blocks soon lost their luster (not to mention that they offered little flexibility) and when strap rail became widely used in the early 19th century simple wooden planks were used as railroad ties to hold the entire track structure together. Today, crossties are often still made of wood but much larger and thicker and almost always from heavy, durable hardwood. However, newer technologies have allowed for new types of railroad ties to be employed including concrete (often used on lines were fast, heavy freight or passenger trains roam) and even composite materials.
However, hardwood is still the primary choice for railroads even today. Oak is most often requested due to its strength and natural longevity but according the American Railway Engineers Association there are no fewer than 27 different types of wood that provide sufficient strength to be used as railroad ties. Some of these woods include cherry, chestnut, elm, hemlock, hickory, and walnut. Railroads still rely on traditional hardwoods for two basic reasons. First, of course, is that they provide sufficient strength and can firmly hold railroad spikes in place. However, wood is also relatively inexpensive compared to other materials such as concrete and composite ties.
During the early years of the railroad industry, after the introduction of "T"-rail many times rough-cut logs were used for ties. However, as technologies improved so did railroad tie construction and today they have a uniform size and thickness, usually at least 8-10 inches thick and about 8-10 feet in length, depending on what they are being used for (i.e., for switch outs or along a main line). There are also important components that hold railroad ties firmly to the rails. The most common of these in the simple spike, which is a basic anchor that is driven into the tie. However, there is also the tie plate, in which the spikes are driven into. This component not only provides a place to drive the spikes but also as a means of housing the rail and helping to distribute the weight over a broader area of the tie itself.
Finally, there is the rail anchor. This component simply keeps the rails from shifting north and south as the train passes over. With the ballast the entire track infrastructure is complete providing for a strong, yet flexible operating surface. Ballast (usually crushed stone), as it is known, is another important part of railroad infrastructure. Although it may just look like plain ole gravel this stone plays a vital role in acting as a support base for the ties and rails as well as allowing for proper drainage of water away from the rails (which is why the stone is always sloped downward and away from track). You may be wondering how such a term came to define the stone which supports the track structure. Interestingly, it has its roots dating back to early times when stone was used as ballasting for sailing ships.
Today railroad ties are mass produced and are still most often of hardwood although with concrete's added benefit of allowing for faster and heavier trains it is also becoming a top choice, particularly overseas and in Europe where passenger trains dominate. The one drawback to concrete is that because of its rigid qualities it does not have the same flexibility as wood, or even composite ties. However, its inherent strengths and longevity, even over wood, more than make up for its primary weakness as in the future you will almost surely see more and more main lines employing concrete ties.
For more reading about railroad ties you may want to consider the book Railway Maintenance Equipment: The Men and Machines That Keep the Railroads Running from noted author Brian Solomon. While Solomon's book primarily focuses on railroad maintenance equipment across its 128 pages it also talks about the ties themselves, in relation to the maintenance process of the entire track structure. I own this book myself and have used it as reference material for this site many times. It's a great read on an often little understood area of railroading.

After being forced to meditate on a frustrating 10-1 loss for two days due to two consecutive rainouts, the Washington Nationals (29-30) should be eager to get back on track against their next opponent, the Minnesota Twins (26-31).
The Nationals have played the Twins on only two occasions since baseball returned to Washington, after leaving with the Twins franchise – formerly known as the Washington Senators – in 1961. The Nationals won one series against the Twins in 2007, and lost one in 2008, going 2-4 overall.
The Twins just lost a series to the Kansas City Royals, and are in third place in the AL Central. The two teams will play a day-night double header on Sunday to make up Friday's rain out.
Troubles of the Trade
After being traded to the Nationals in the offseason for pitching prospect Alex Meyer, Denard Span will play against his former team for the first time in his six-year career during this series. Span was drafted by the Twins in the first round of the 2002 draft, and made his debut with them in April 2008.
Span has a career .354 on-base percentage, and has one of the highest OBP's of the Nationals (.318), serving as their leadoff hitter. But since Span's exit, the Twins have struggled with finding an equally effective replacement for him at the top of their own batting order.
The Twins have employed five different players in the leadoff spot without much luck. Brian Dozier (.229 AVG, .281 OBP), Jamey Carroll (.217 AVG, .278 OBP), Aaron Hicks (.177 AVG, .246 OBP), Eduardo Escobar (.217 AVG, .270 OBP) and Darin Mastroianni (.222 AVG, .300 OBP) have all tried the No. 1 spot, and have posted less than impressive stats.
As of Friday, Twins leadoff hitters ranked last in MLB with a .181 batting average and a .230 OBP. During this series, they will face two of the Nats' toughest pitchers in Gio Gonzalez and Jordan Zimmermann, who have every capability of continuing to squelch Minnesota's success at the plate.
The Twin's offense overall has a slash line of .244/.318/.382, which ranks 24th, 17th and 23rd, in each respective category. However, their low numbers are still higher than the Nats' offense, who have a slash line of .230/.287/.372 (28th, 30th, 27th).
As this season has shown, the Nationals' strength lies in their pitching, and the story is no different with this series. The Nats' pitching staff outpaces the Twins' with a sixth-place 3.63 ERA and a seventh-place 1.23 WHIP, to the Twins' 24th-place 4.36 ERA and 29th-place 1.56 WHIP. The Twins also rank last in strikeouts with 327.
In The Zone
Ian Desmond (SS) .324 AVG, .343 OBP, .588 SLG, 2 HR (nine-game hitting streak)
Who's Hot?
Ryan Doumit (C) .364 AVG, .417 OBP, .955 SLG, 3 HR (last five games)
Brian Dozier (2B) .375 AVG, .474 OBP, .625 SLG, 1 HR (last five games)
Who's Not?
Pedro Florimon (SS) .167 AVG, .200 OBP, .222 SLG, 3 SO (last five games)
Chris Parmelee (RF) .167 AVG, .318 OBP, .222 SLG, 3 SO (last five games)
Probable Starters
6/8, Gio Gonzalez (3-3, 3.64 ERA, .205 BAA, 67 SO) vs. Kevin Correia (5-4, 4.09 ERA, .296 BAA, 29 SO)

Analyze This! by Gary Scheiner, MS, CDE
Picture this: You're sitting in an exam room at your doctor's office. The nurse pokes her head in and says, "Sorry for the wait. He'll be right with you." Yeah, you've heard that before. To kill some time, you start building a miniature fort out of tongue depressors on the examination table. Add some gauze for fences and an odd instrument for a flagpole, and you have quite a little scene going…
Blood Glucose Monitoring by Virginia Peragallo-Dittko, APRN, MA, BC-ADM, CDE

Blood Glucose Monitoring: When to Check and Why by Rebecca K. Abma
Managing diabetes is one part investigation and two parts action. Unlike some other diseases that rely primarily on professional medical treatment, diabetes treatment requires active participation by the person who has it. Monitoring your blood glucose level on a regular basis and analyzing the results is believed by many to be a crucial part of the treatment equation…
Blood Glucose Self-Monitoring by Wil Dubois, BS, AAS, CPT, TPT
The year is 1978. The global population reaches 4.4 billion, and in the United States, 5.2 million people have diabetes. For around $400 ($1,500 in today's dollars), those 5.2 million Americans with diabetes can, for the first time ever, buy a home blood glucose meter…
Blood Glucose Self-Monitoring: Part 2 by Wil Dubois, BS, AAS, CPT, TPT
To measure the concentration of glucose in your blood, you put a strip in the meter, poke a hole in your finger to get a sample of blood, touch the tip of the test strip to the drop of blood, and wait for the result. It sounds pretty straightforward. But, of course, the devil is in the details…
Blood Glucose Self-Monitoring: Part 3 by Wil Dubois, BS, AAS, CPT, TPT
Isolated blood glucose checks are next to meaningless; they don't tell you anything about how you got to where you are. "Smart" monitoring, on the other hand, does, because it follows a pattern…
Blood Glucose Self-Monitoring: Part 4 by Wil Dubois, BS, AAS, CPT, TPT
The analytical features of newer blood glucose meters have had an unintended consequence: Doctors and patients often rely too much on the brains of the meter…
Continuous Glucose Monitoring by Laurie Block, RD, CDE

It is well documented that keeping blood glucose levels as close to normal as possible can reduce the risk of the chronic or long-term complications of diabetes, including eye disease (retinopathy), kidney disease (nephropathy), and nerve damage…
Managing Your Blood Glucose Ups and Downs by Stacy Griffin, PharmD, RPh, and Diane Ballard, RN, BSN, CDE
High blood glucose is the defining characteristic of diabetes: It's what leads to a diagnosis of diabetes, and it's what can lead to long-term diabetes complications if sustained over time. Consequently, the medicines prescribed to treat diabetes lower blood glucose in one way or another. Exercise, too, usually lowers blood glucose, which is one of the reasons it's an important part of a diabetes treatment regimen. But too-low blood glucose, or hypoglycemia, is no good, either, since it can cause you to lose consciousness.
Talking Meters by Ann S. Williams, Ph.D., R.N., C.D.E.
Self-monitoring of blood glucose is one of the areas of diabetes self-management that is deeply affected by severe visual impairment. When people with diabetes learn they have permanent visual impairment, one of the first questions they often ask a…
Ten Good Reasons to Hate Blood Glucose Monitoring by William H. Polonsky, PhD, CDE
Checking blood glucose is now so quick, easy, and relatively painless — and the information you can obtain is so valuable — that you would think everybody would be monitoring regularly. But this is far from true. If you don't check your blood glucose as often as you should, you aren't the only one. An American Diabetes Association survey found that 21% of adults with Type 1 diabetes never checked their blood glucose…

Jiló (Solanum gilo) is in the Solanaceae family and resembles eggplant in growth habit. It turns orange-red when ripe. This plant is originally from Africa and was brought to Brazil with the slave trade. It is still grown in West Africa where in some countries it is known as "garden eggs".
There are two basic types of jiló found in Brazil. One is called comprido verde claro (translating to long, light green in English). The second type, called morro redondo (round in English), is more bitter than comprido verde claro. The majority of Brazilians living in Massachusetts are from the state of Minas Gerias, where the comprido verde claro type is most popular.
Grow jiló just as you would eggplant. The fruit is harvested immature, before turning orange or red. The Brazilian market will not except fruit that has turned red or orange. The fruit becomes more bitter as it matures.
For information on production and management of jiló, refer to the The New England Vegetable Management Guide and click on "eggplant".
Seed Sources
Currently there are no known commercially available seed sources in the United States. Johnny's Selected Seeds is able to make a special order from a seed company in Brazil.

New Settlers, Their First House, Western Canada
Postcards from the Past, PC 1649
For Calgary's first "One Book One Calgary" http://calgarypubliclibrary.com/onebookonecalgary/ event we have selected the book Mavericks: an Incorrigible History of Alberta by Aritha Van Herk. We are planning a plethora of programs relating to the themes of the book, among them my own offering, "Maverick Hunters" in which I will try to assist family historians who are tracing their own "maverick". This exercise has led me to ask myself what exactly do I mean by maverick? What qualities make up "maverick-osity"?
Alberta has long been perceived as a place where the maverick can flourish. Take, for example, this quotation from Irene Parlby:
I do not think I should be very wide of the mark, if I said that the older parts of Canada have for years regarded Alberta as a rather peculiar place, favorable to the breeding of extreme radicals, and peculiar political phenomena, and let it go at that. One wonders if it ever occurs to them that there are always causes and conditions which breed these things.
From the earliest settlement, the place that would become Alberta was a challenging landscape. Winters could be harsh and summer hot and dry. To even contemplate coming here, one had to have a sense of adventure and an ability to look past the hardships and see the possibilities in the future. This is the spirit we still embrace. Albertans still work hard, still ride the booms and busts that are so characteristics of our economy and still look forward to the future and the possibilities it holds. So maybe this is what we need to keep in mind as we populate our family trees with our black sheep, our mavericks, maybe even our heroes. We can look in the places we always look but then we need to look in the places we haven't thought of yet. That's what I'm hoping to help you with when I present "Maverick Hunters." If you're interested, have a look at our program guide, paper or online at our registration site http://calgarypubliclibrary.com/programs.aspx. A hint of what I've learned? Once we've fought our battles we escape to the milder climes beyond the Rockies

Which party is the extremist right-wing party? Did Wildrose get a solid foothold? Good for them. Those bitterly oppressed, white, hetero Christians are sorely underrepresented in Alberta.
Wild Rose was beaten easily, but they did win the opposition. The whole media fiasco did raise questions about the misuse and misapplication of poling though, that may contribute somewhat to entertaining future discussions also :)
Wild Rose is but on extremist off-shoot of the Conservatives there. The conservatives were 'pushed' into becoming a little more 'progressive' in order to win over the libs! Boy oh boy, those words just sound dirty in the context of conservatism :(
I got the feeling Sun media was pushing for wildrose in a bigway.They hardley say boo about most prov elections but covered this one nationally
That is to be expected. That's the only purpose of Sun media, to GROW the right in Canada, to GROW corporate culture.

Public Input Sought on Proposed Six-Year Improvement Program
RICHMOND — The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, Dec. 1, to solicit public comments about essential rail, transit, transportation demand management, bicycle, pedestrian and highway projects in the Working Draft of the Revised Fiscal Year 2010-2015 Six-Year Improvement Program (SYIP) to be approved by the CTB in December 2009.
The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) Central Office Auditorium, 1221 E. Broad St., Richmond, VA (Individuals attending the meeting will need to enter at 1401 E. Broad St.)
For the second year in a row, the commonwealth is completing a mid-year revision of the SYIP in response to the latest official revenue estimates that reduced available transportation funding by nearly $900 million over the next six years.
Revising the program allows the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation and other transportation agencies to plan appropriate spending cuts and project impacts for the coming six years.
All projects in the SYIP that are eligible for federal funding will be included in the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, which documents how Virginia will obligate its share of federal funds.
Lists of specific projects and changes from the current program will be available at the public hearing and on VDOT's Web site at www.VirginiaDOT.org prior to the hearing.
Written comments may be submitted via mail or e-mail until Dec. 11, 2009.
Written comments can be submitted to:
Public Information Office
Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation

The Chicago-based nail polish line makes a red carpet entrance Friday night as part of the swag bag for the Grammy's pre-party philanthropic event, the annual MusiCares Person of the Year. The honor goes to Bruce Springsteen this evening, with host Jon Stewart and performances by Elton John and Kenny Chesney.
And with the advent of the red carpet "manicams," nail lacquer has never been more in vogue.
A-list celebs like Taylor Swift, Pink, and Gloria Estefan have been spotted sporting colorful tips adorned with Be! Products polish — one-part nail polish line, one-part social business enterprise— and founder Neli Vazquez-Rowland said she hopes to gain more celeb manicures after debuting her polishes to A-listers in the gift bags.
But Be! Products isn't just about maintaining a high-profile Hollywood status. A Chicago native, Vazquez-Rowland launched the professional nail care line of 100 pretty polish colors in 2005 as an offshoot to her charity, "A Safe Haven Foundation," which provides addiction treatment and job training services for individuals in crisis.
Vazquez-Rowland, who grew up in the Little Village neighborhood surrounded by crime and a family broken by alcoholism, left her career in investment banking in 1994 to co-found "A Safe Haven Foundation," along with her husband Brian.
The non-profit has served more than 32,000 clients and helps an estimated 1,200 people struggling with addiction per day.
Vazquez-Rowland tied her business endeavor together with "A Safe Haven Foundation" by setting a plan in motion to employ hundreds of Chicago-based alumni of the program who are rebuilding their lives after getting sober.
The polishes are available for purchase in Chicago at CICI Nails, the spa at the East Bank Club, and Flirty Girl Fitness, and can be found at www.beproducts.com.
"I am incredibly honored that Be! Was invited to be the exclusive nail care line featured at Grammy week's most prestigious event," Vazquez-Rowland said.

Kisumu, Kenya
Five Story Building Collapses in Kisumu, Kenya
The tragedy happened just a year after a similar incident in Mlolongo, Kenya occurred, prompting a national newspaper, The Standard, to call many buildings throughout the country "deathtraps", with "60 percent of buildings in Nairobi bogus" signaling the fact that many developers employ substandard construction methods.
From 1999 to 2009 the populations of Kenya urban areas increased by 26 percent. Many cities are growing upwards instead of outwards. The collapsed building in in Kisumu was a five-story building being constructed on the foundation that originally supported a two-story building.
George Weda, a former city councilor running for a senate seat in the March elections, blames the collapse on a faulty foundation.
Prompted by the 2012 collapse of a building in Mlongo, measures have been passed to prevent such tragedies from reoccurring. The National Building Maintenance Policy 2012 is aimed at curbing the widespread incidence sub-standard building practices.
A survey of the scene on Friday showed rescue efforts still underway. As bulldozers and Red Cross workers cleared debris in an attempt to free trapped survivors, police chased away a mob of Kenyans brandishing hacksaws being used to cut loose rebar.
Trying to beat other scavengers vying for the same materials, many came inches from being run over by a bulldozer clearing the rubble—a reminder in this election year many impoverished Kenyans fight daily just to survive.
This writer followed one motorcycle carrying the rescued materials to the industrial part of town where it was sold for a little over dollar to a blacksmith. Many here survive on less than $1 a day. In a macabre twist of fates, the collapsed building taking more than seven lives has provided some families with nourishment for another day.

Welcome Ubaka!
So glad to have you back online after a little while. I would love to help you make some connections. Are you interested in connecting with people from a particular country/region, or around a specific topic?
Julie's suggestions of posting your own journals, and reading/commenting are spot on---the best places to start! But, let me know where you might like some direction.
How was your event this past October!? I'd love to hear more.
Warm regards,
