Good Morning and Happy Friday.
Not much to say this morning . Just wanted to get the new thread started. DD and DGD are still here I think they are staying thru Saturday.
Don't know what we will get into today. I'm sure we will find something to do.
Good morning,
Another month almost gone. Are you thinking about your goals for November? How did things go in October?
October was not a good month for me goal wise. I repeatedly fell off the wagon and have no loss to report, maybe one pound but that is it. Exercise was a train wreck. GF was gone for a few days but it back for the most part. Water has been so so but not great. With my goals for October shot, my three month goal is in serious trouble. I am going to have to reset it for November and December. Not going to give up though.
Took the stray cat to the vet yesterday. We thought we might have been faced with having him put down but things worked out in the end. If he would have tested positive for feline leukemia the vet said she would need to put him down rather then allow him to run loose and infect other cats unless we would make him an inside cat. We've tried and he is not ever going to be an inside cat. He goes straight to the door and meows for out. Thankfully his test was negative and after shots he came home. It turns out he is an older neutered male with a heart murmur and one kidney that is larger than the other. He probably doesn't have a lot of years left but she can't say for sure. He only weighs 8.9 pounds but he doesn't eat all of his food so I guess he isn't going hungry.
Guess I'll head to the farmers market today. I am about out of salad fixings and I am hungry for butternut squash. Also need to stock up on cranberries for my freezer. I am going to miss it when it my guys stop coming for the winter. They come until it snows then they are gone until spring. There are still some vendors inside over winter but their prices aren't close to these guys and they don't have nearly as much selection.
Supposed to be cold and windy today. I am so not ready for winter. Only two month until Christmas. I am sure DH will remind me of that today. I have no clue what to get people this year and shopping will need to be mostly online. I saw yesterday that my favorite Christmas preparation web site will kick off on Sunday. Carm posted it on Prevention many years ago and I enjoy it every year.
I am not sure what Christmas will hold this year. I know I won't be seeing my oldest DD and her family. Not sure what my youngest DD has in mind for the holidays. We talked about doing "cookie day" again this year depending on GD's plans. It's sure different when your kids grow up and have their own families, your parents are gone and you aren't close to your siblings. Christmas is just too darn quiet and can be lonely. Sorry about that, I am one of those people who gets the holiday blues. I am always glad when they are over. Cookie day will even be different this year since I am not eating gluten. Maybe I will make up tins and gift some. There are several people I know who will be lost loved ones this year. Maybe that will bring a little Christmas to them.
Molasses do you think your son will be stateside this Christmas? It's nice that your DD and SIL will be in your area for the holidays this year.
Alabama, are you coming back to Ohio for the holidays?
Christmas in your new home will be nice, Barb. Are you excited about decorating it for the holidays?
YAH, Josie should be fun this year at Christmas. I hope you get to spend some time with her, your DIL and your sons.
Angii, I know you love Halloween but I hope you find some joy in Christmas too.
Hope you feel up to all of the decorating that you do for the holidays, Sue.
Well I've talked so long I'd bet that Alabama have opened a different thread. Yep, she did so I moved my post over here.
Have a good day.
Morning ladies. I just have a minute before I have to start running my errands. Not really errands... I am getting my eyebrows waxed, and my nails and toes done! LOL
Di, I haven't thought much about Christmas. We don't really do anything big here. I may talk hubby into getting my Tree down though as we haven't put it up for a few years. We will see. But I do need to get my Calendar's created, so I can get them printed.
Other than that, not much to report. Happy Friday everyone!
Good morning, WOW friends,
I am happy, happy, happy today--I got a text from DS last night at suppertime--he is back at Ft Benning! I think I mentioned that he and 3 other guys were coming back to either go to Ranger School or take a bus driving course and then drive the unit around until it's their turn at Ranger School. I know stuff can happen anywhere, but I just feel better knowing he is in the US.
Bama, I'm sure you crafty women will find something fun to get into today! Nice to have the chance to make those memories.
Dianna, sorry about your holiday blues. Christmas is certainly different when the family spreads out all over the place. I sure missed the kids last year. I'm thinking DS should be able to come home this year, and although we have to share DD and SIL with his family, we should still see them on Christmas. I'm glad your cat was spared the death sentence! It sounds like he must have been someone's pet at one time since he's been neutered. I'm glad he's found you guys to take care of him! We took a stray in to get spayed once and when I went to pick her up, the vet told me my "Sophie" was a neutered male. Oops.
Barb, did you get out last night after all? Sometimes I can't seem to force my homebody self out, and then I'm always sorry afterward.
Hi, Angii, Sue, and YAH.
I had a smoothie after my run, and with it being chilly in the house anyway, I'm like a frozen banana myself. I need to go get in the shower. Then I think it's a good day for a pot of soup and a pound cake in the oven.
Have a great day, everyone!
Morning ladies,
I am sorry about the lack of posts this week, will get back on track and caught up this weekend and back to normal next week. I have been reading the mornings I can. I will also be glad to get be back on the stick next week with workouts and realized also it's the end of the month already again so thinking of my regime for November and the first 2 weeks of December as I always take the last weeks of December off. Yikes I was up 3 pounds this week for my Friday weigh.....well also a bit bloated too this a.m.
Well off to get the day started, breakfast, bathrooms, cooking and working on blog and some other stuff too. Have a nice weekend,
TGIF, Wowers,
Nope, Molasses, I didn't get out last night. I had to take an allergy pill yesterday afternoon and that really knocked me out, even though it's the non-drowsy kind. I ended up taking a nap. My coffee plans with a couple of friends fizzled out today too, so I'm a little grumpy and feeling stuck in the house. I know, I could go out anywhere, but I'm really not in the mood. Trying to come up with some different, healthy dinner ideas. I did get DH to come with me to the garden store. Picked up a couple of pumpkins, a case of canned dog food (we give them a spoonful with each bowl of kibble - spoiled dogs!), a platform feeder and some suet.
I don't plan on going overboard with Christmas decorations this year. I have no room for a tree in my living room and not much space in my office (which used to be a dining room). I may put up a small tree in the office window, and a small tree on the front porch with just lights. I need to have DH measure the porch though, and we'll have to get some LED lights and get it decorated. I'll get a couple of balsam wreaths for the doors. Hmmm, sounds like I may be doing more than I originally planned, doesn't it!
Anyone have any really yummy quick bread, muffin or cookie recipes? That's all I will be doing gift-wise this year for friends and neighbors. I'll have apple butter, too, if I ever get it made! Guess I'd better update my Christmas card list too, so people will have my new address.
So happy to hear your son is stateside, Molasses! Enjoy your "me" day today, Angii! I was out of town and eating out too much this month. We won't talk about the scale. Plus the winter comfort food cravings have really arrived. At least it's soup season, and that's usually pretty healthy. I'm having the leftover split pea soup for lunch.
I have DH loaded up with building projects. He's starting on building a doghouse this afternoon. We need some kind of shelter for them, even though they spend most of their time inside. I found some plans online. http://www.doghouseplans.com/ We're going for a 2-dog, 1 door design with the porch roof. I also need him to make a coat tree, but that should be fairly easy. Last project, for now, is setting up a couple more bird feeders, and making some kind of decorative perches. Probably some kind of birch tree.
That's about it from here. Hope you all have a good weekend. I'm going back to my laundry, cookbooks and shopping list.
Yay, glad to hear your son is back in the good ole USA, Molasses.
I don't have the holiday blues yet, but I won't be surprised if they show up sooner or later. Maybe I'll be lucky this year and they won't crop up. Think I'll follow Barb's lead and get my light box out before I need it.
Neat dog houses, Barb. I kind of put a bug in my DH;s ear today about the stray cat needing a shelter since we now know that he is older and not in the best of health. DH said he might reroof an old dog house that we had years ago. I put a container with a old pillow in it out for him last year but he wasn't interested in it. I think he hid out in our one shed when it got really cold. Otherwise he just curled up in the ivy or a pile of leaves. You can lead a cat to shelter but you can't make him use it.
Sounds like a lot of busy people today. I'm kind of groofing off now that we are home from the farmer's market. Today's top deals were fresh pineapples and boxes of cherry tomatoes for $1 each. I got a huge butternut squash for $1.50. Lettuce and etc seem to be up in price but tis the season.
My used the banana nut bread in a jar recipe and use loaf pans instead of jars, Barb. It's really moist. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/B...read-Baked-in-a-Jar/ You can use pumpkin instead of bananas, if you like.
Mmm, I love fresh pineapple, Dianna. They are kind of a pain to cut up, but I don't core them, just cut into chunks to freeze for green smoothies. I can really pile in the greens when I have pineapple; somehow it cuts the bitterness better than anything else.
The cat might use the dog house if it's raised up, or has openings on both ends. Some cats won't even use the covered litter boxes because they feel like (according to an article I read--this is not something I got directly from a cat!) they'd be trapped by a predator without a second way out.
I have a good pumpkin bread recipe, Barb. I've never given a loaf to anyone who hasn't asked for the recipe. I think it's the buttery streusel on top that makes it so good. I wish I could remember where the recipe came from, but I have no idea. Maybe Cooking Light.
Pumpkin Bread with Streusel Topping
1/2 c. oil (can sub applesauce for half)
3/4 c. each sugar and brown sugar
3 eggs
1 t. vanilla
2 c. pumpkin puree
2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 t. each baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon
3/4 t. salt
1/2 t. each nutmeg, ginger
1/4 t. cloves
Optional 1 c. chopped cranberries and/or chopped walnuts
Divide between 2 greased loaf pans. Mix together 1/3 c. each sugar and flour. Cut in 4 T. butter. Sprinkle on bread before baking at 350 for 50--55 minutes.
I just took a pound cake out of the oven. I used Better Batter GF flour, and was a little worried because the recipe calls for beating the heck out of the cake. The batter almost felt like a loose yeast dough by the time I was spooning it into the Bundt pan, kind of gluey. We'll see how it is once it cools, I guess. The recipe came from Carla Hall who claims it's the Best Cake Ever. It has 1 t. of 5 different extracts--rum, coconut, vanilla, almond and lemon. (I only have rum and coconut extract because I inherited them from my Gramma years ago! I should call it Antique Cake!)
I'm sure you'll be glad to get back to your workouts, Sue. I hope you are feeling up to them next week. Did you ever hear from your doctor?
I'd better go finish dinner-fixing! Have a great evening, everyone.
You may be on to something, Molasses. When the cat first showed up it used a box that I sat out for it but it was attacked by something one night. I haven't gotten it to go into anything since.
Evening all, Chloe just made an obstacle course in the Living room and is jumping and running though it. Wow , I wish I had her energy. We will have to calm her down soon as it is almost bed time for her
Mo , so very glad for you that your Son is State Side. and hope that he is able to spend Christmas with you also. and thanks for the recipe . I love pumpkin bread and this sounds very good. I am thinking of buying a nurti bullet . I have read some reviews and others on another forum have them and really like them. Maybe Santa will bring me one for Christmas.
Di, Get that light out . I remember when I lived in Ohio all the time that I was ok until Christmas was over and January , February and March we such bad , moody months. When I moved South all of that stopped so I guess the Sun does have an effect on you.
Barb, your house sounds so nice and comfy. and the area does also. I picture your town as being something like Cedar Cove. Sounds like you got decorating under control. I have one of those very small maybe two feet fiber optic? trees that change colors or how I love to sit and watch it. Last year I put it in my Bed room where I could lay in bed and fall asleep watching it. Love those for sure.
Di have you ever heard from Carm and also Sculley. They use to be on a lot a few years back but just stopped . I myself can't not imagine not having the WOW ladies to talk to each day. You are all a part of my Family and I look forward to hearing from each and every one.
Angii. Hope you have a nice stress free day . I know you have your hands full but things sound like they are some what easier for you since you have a ct.
Well it's getting close to time for Hawaii five O so will say good nite.
Thanks for the bread recipes, Molasses & Dianna. They both sound wonderful! Of course I'll have to bake a test batch. I made a small pan of cherry/berry cobbler this afternoon. I used mostly coconut sugar, but added just a spoonful or two of regular. It's very good, but would be even better with a scoop of ice cream.
Evening ladies. I did have a stress free day! Lovin it! I went and got waxed, then went and got my toes and nails done, then came home and took Charger to the park because a girlfriend was there, and then got home, Cody came home and we decided to go to Olive Garden for an early dinner! So I haven't had to do a dang thing today and I love it. Now I am watching the first Transformers Movie on TV, and then I will work on my scarf for a bit. And I talked to DH about the big tree and all the Christmas stuff and he said he would get in the attic for me!!!
Well I am off.... gonna work on my scarf!
Good Morning everyone. Hope for you all a wonderful Weekend. Much to do today as we are returning home in the am. DD and DG still here so I won't get as much done as far as cleaning etc but that's ok. The dirt will still be here when we return .
Angii I see you did have a stress free day. Glad for you . As we grow up and get older those days sometimes become very few.
Should be back on line sometime on Monday .
Good Morning ladies! I see your up Bama and have a very great day and a safe trip to Bama! Are you traveling in 1 long trip? You have a few helpers there to clean up a little I see Its a rain/snow with gusty winds today here
I got through work with a little help from a good team yesterday which I bribed a bit Some you wouldn't dare try! I am up and waiting and hoping Not to be called in. Crew leader was going in but if her DD whose been I guess in labor a some days now, decides to deliver today, I'll have to go in. Not sure how long or if I'll know otherwise so staying up for a while and then going back to bed! No sun here for a long time. I did go son's after work but picked up some stuff and we ate and visited and it was a cold wind out. Got a few groceries and luckily my tendons etc. stuck together since I didn't lift to hard stuff at work. But I feel it more this morning and wanted to rest it some more since I am on for Mon,, then I'm not on so far for a while. I forgot about Mon. I see the lady whose a resident, we are bday twins also and same age, passed away also She had MS but I finally see in her obit that at least she led a very full life, single, for a while before this disease. I only wish I knew that much about her but we can't know anything while their in there, unless your her nurse or something. She couldn't talk good anymore but could still understand. I know Dh's niece has MS and its getting to harder levels now also and since her mom died, she's more alone with some help that comes over so far. She might end up soon in a facility I suppose.
Hi Di also as you probably posted while I was blabbing Have a good no ache pain also!
Hi to everyone out there and have a great Sat. and better weather than here also! Love to have some of your temps right now Sue! BBL< Yah
Good morning ladies.
Bunch of early birds this morning. I slept in a bit, didn't get up until 6:30 even though I was wake a good bit before that with my knee. Not as bad as some nights but enough to keep waking up. Had a nice surprise in my email this morning. An email came in at 4:26 from Blue Shield telling me that new EOBs had been posted on their site. The Synvisc was approved and I won't owe anything for it. They ran it through under as a medical claim rather than a prescription claim. I guess that made the difference in getting it covered. Now I just hope it helps.
That sounds like a wonderful carefree day for you, Angii.
Have a safe trip, Alabama. Take today to enjoy your family, the house work will still be there when you come back. I hope your DD lends a hand with anything that must be done before you leave.
Oh Barb, your house must smell heavenly. I wonder if I could make your cobbler with GF flour. Or is it made with oatmeal instead of flour? I love anything cranberry. They were $1.50 a bag at the farmers market yesterday but I didn't get them after all since I still have 6 bags in the freezer from last year. I think maybe I'll change my mind again and stock up next week, if the price is still so good.
YAH, hope no call in today or tomorrow so you can continue to recovery from last week. Wishing your co-worker a fine healthy grandchild and a safe, delivery for the mom.
Talked to my oldest DD about Christmas last night. They will be here sometime the day before Thanksgiving. Her initial plan was to have a combined Thanksgiving and Christmas then but that isn't working out. She can't think of anything for me to get them for Christmas so she said to just give them money and gift cards. So not much shopping to be done but it doesn't feel like I am doing much for them. Going to be a busy Thanksgiving this year. It will be a combination Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas visit, Birthday party for GD all the same day. My poor youngest DD is planning to host it all and she has been having health issues. She's been to the ER and several specialist in the past two weeks and still doesn't know what is wrong. The ER doctor told her it was either a stroke, a brain tumor or MS. The MRI ruled them all out but some of the doctors are still thinking MS. She had a lot of tests done on Monday and is still waiting for the results. So far they have found a B12 and B1 deficiency and a marker for Lyme disease. There has been no talk of MS with this doctor. I've been telling her maybe she needs to not try and do it all but she isn't budging. I hope she at least lets me do the cooking. Talk about a stubborn, bull headed woman. She thinks she has to make it perfect for everyone and isn't considering the stress she is putting on herself. She's been running on empty for some time. I really worry about her and her health.
DH is up and moving. Better go.
Bama, I've heard good things about the Nutri-Bullet. I was thinking of maybe getting one for my mom for Christmas if she sticks with her smoothies--she just bought some protein shake stuff to try. Carm and Sculley both switched to Facebook, I think. Hard to keep up with both, I guess. I know I just skim FB every few days to see if there's anything I need to know about, and DH logs on to follow a running site, but there are only so many computer hours in a day! Enjoy your last day in OH, and have a safe trip back.
Mmmm, your cobbler sounds delicious, Barb! I always think cobbler and crisp needs a scoop of ice cream melting on top. I did buy some coconut sugar, but haven't used it yet. I gave my big bag of Stevia in the Raw to DD after I tried it in a raw pudding recipe the other day--too much aftertaste. I don't know if it was the stevia, or the maltodextrin they mix it with, but I wasn't impressed.
Angii, was it your birthday yesterday? If so, glad it was happy! If not, I'm still glad it was happy!
Sorry about your birthday twin, YAH. I'm glad work wasn't too bad yesterday, and hope you don't get called in. I don't know how many days you can be in labor without delivering though!
Yay on the Synvisc, Dianna. I'll be crossing my fingers for you that it does the trick, or at least takes the edge off while you are waiting to be approved for surgery. Yikes, I'm sorry to hear your DD is having health problems. I hope they can figure it out quickly and it's something that can be treated. I know how worrisome it is for all of you. Hugs for you and prayers for your DD.
I'd better get moving here. Unlike all you early birds, I slept in this morning, and woke up headachey. Took a migraine pill and that seems to be helping, but I haven't accomplished much yet.
Happy Saturday, everyone!
Happy weekend, ladies,
I woke up earlier, but didn't get up until later.
I know I spend too much time on the computer, but I did "invite" friends to "like" our new FB photography page and we have over 100 "likes" in the last 12 hours -- yeah! So I definitely need to spend more time working on photos and getting them posted.
I don't know why you couldn't use GF flour for the cobbler, Dianna, although I've never baked with it. I took the lazy way out and just mixed up some low fat Bisquick for the topping, drizzled a little butter and sprinkled a little sugar on it. I didn't use cranberries in this one, just a mix of frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries, along with a can of tart cherries. I don't have any fresh cranberries yet. I'll have to look for some in the stores here, or the larger stores when we go down to the shore next weekend. I do have some dried cranberries, and that would be good with apples -- I have lots of those!Save travels, Bama. Hope you get the day off today, YAH, and hope your headache disappears, Molasses. Hi Sue & Angii.
I need to get busy. Grocery shopping, picking up mail for a friend, and getting some logs and things from another friend's property, making veggie beef soup - I'd better get started! Have a great weekend.
Oops, don't know why my brain read cranberry instead of berry, Barb.
Bed is changed, working on my third load of laundry, Molly is brushed and dog hair swept up . Also talked to youngest DD and she is going to allow me to do most of the cooking for Thanksgiving. She is going to handle the mashed potatoes and pumpkin flan. I'll make the turkey, gravey, stuffing, green beans and cranberry salad. We can assign drinks to her MIL who isn't really into cooking. Got some Christmas gift ideas for her kids and their family gift. She will call the neurologist on Monday to check on her test results. So far nothing serious has showed up which is a relief after the initial diagnosis. Hopefully the numbness and tingling will go away after she gets B12 injections. We read nerve damage doesn't always reverse after B12 injections but hopefully it will. She will still need to be careful with the two herniated disc in her neck that they found when the did the MRI but they don't think that they are causing the problem. So for now, things are looking up. Hoping for a good report on Monday.
Off to make some lunch and see what I can get into this afternoon. I should bundle up and take Molly for a walk. Nice and sunny out but windy. We found an Easy Walk harness in her size at GW for 97cents. I haven't tried it yet but it works well when DH uses it on her.
Talk about a stubborn, bull headed woman. She thinks she has to make it perfect for everyone and isn't considering the stress she is putting on herself. She's been running on empty for some time. Di, I think she comes by it naturally,,,, she got it from her MOTHER! We love you, but you just described yourself too! I hope that the don't find any serious with your Daughter! Sending prayers.
Not sure what today will hold. I will take Charger to the park once Dad is done with breakfast so DH can spray the yard. Then I need to come home and get everything packed up for our overnight stay and Halloween party. It will be weird to be out without Charger! HEHEHEHE... We are getting a break from ALL the Kids!
Barb, I did like your page! And that is awesome!
Bama, Have a safe trip!
Sue, I hope you feel better soon, and you can get back into the regular routine.
Mo, I hope all is well with your Aunt and I am happy that your DS is back stateside. I agree that it is nice to know that they are closer to home. I hope you can get him for Christmas.
Birdie, if you are lurking, we miss you and hope things are getting closer to ending with the business and you are getting closer to retired.
Well Dad is just about done so I better go so I can get everything else done.
Oh, I didn't work on my scarf last night,,, instead I got my Christmas Calendars made and ordered! SO I should have them in 5 to 7 days.
I hope it's just pernicious anemia, Dianna. My DA has that, and it's as simple as a monthly B12 injection to control it.
Ha, Angii, I thought the same thing about Dianna's assessment of her DD--that apple didn't fall far from the tree! Enjoy your evening away!
Barb, I invited some friends to like your page also--can't wait till you get more pictures up!
Hope everyone is enjoying the day. I just got back from the library, one of my favorite places! I bought at Tae Bo Abs DVD for $1. I'm not a Tae Bo fan normally--all the punching kills my elbows, but I thought I'd try the abs.
Off to fix supper~
Good Day all! Or good evening I guess here. Enjoy the nice waves on the big lake! Wish I were there but I'm not. I was up and was tired then and Dh was up and down so took a herbal sleep pill and finally kind of slept and dreamed later in morning so my day was all messed up. But I hate to get called in and not at least had my coffee etc.
Her DD is a week early but must be having some labor pains and not sure if any other problems so thats why the Any day thing for the crew leader and I figured with my luck, I'd be called in. I know it makes me kind of sad that I could have got a full time check next time if my body cooperated! Since I'm only a call in etc. But it rained a bit, then snowed a lot but didn't stick yet anyway. Now its not doing anything.
Di, prayers for your DD for sure! She must be worried and I hope they find something that isn't much and end the worry! That would be me going Dr's for to much. They always seem to find to much in me Glad your cooking the TG meal more and I agree with the Angii and Mo, about the apple falling not to far from the tree
Angii, sounds like you had a good time out and for dinner to! Enjoy your Halloween night out also! I think some kids may be t or t in Marq. tonight? I thought if they wait for Halloween it's suppose to be a little nicer and a little warmer but..... Its a very cold windy night tonight and all day really.
Barb, liked your page to and I go on computer more but in and out I guess Check FB and share what I like and see if any new pic's of Josie of course since I don't see her so much Not much else to do out here Enjoy the shore when you get there!
Mo, enjoy cooking as I know you will be cooking or baking right? I seem to have given up on that. Just not enough room to enjoy it in the kitchen I guess. I'm sure you will have a good TG dinner with your DD close and maybe your DS?
Sue, I sure hope you don't have the pain today? Hope you are enjoying some of your weekend and have a great 'me; day tomorrow! I sure wish I was sitting in a sauna but to cold now i guess. I am hoping no one calls in tomorrow again as Mon. is enough for me I think this week. Have a great weekend everyone and relax for the night and sweet dreams all! Yah
Good morning ladies,
You are probably on the road already this morning, Bama. Hope you have a safe trip.
Hope you enjoyed your night out, Angii. I know Halloween is your favorite holiday.
Fingers crossed you don't get called in today, YAH.
I really need to check out the library in our area, Molasses. I've lived here since 1969 and have never been to the library in town. With it being in the school I am never sure when you can go there. I ought to check on their hours sometime. I wasn't aware your could get DVD's from the library until you all mentioned it here. Truth be told, I don't think I've been to a public library more than a couple of times in my life. Maybe that's why I am not a reader. I think you need to develope a love of reading when you are young. I remember hating to read out loud in school and I still avoid it at all cost.
How was your veggie soup, Barb? You put the thought in my mind, think I'll make a pot this week some day.
Hi Sue, hope everything is okay there.
Have a nice Sunday and enjoy some me time.
Good morning, everyone--Happy Sunday!
YAH, you know me well. I made tomato soup and chickpea/sweet potato stew yesterday. I put tomatoes in the stew, too, inspired by a recipe out of the Carla Hall cookbook I had from the library. I thought it made the stew too sweet though, so I won't do that again. Hope you get in the sauna today.
Dianna, do go check out your library. They are such a wonderful resource. While I caught the reading bug early (and passed it on to my kids), my DH didn't start enjoying books until several years ago. Our library has books, magazines, DVDs, CDs. You can go on their website and reserve materials, and then just pick them up when they are available. And the Friends of the Library has a small alcove where they sell donated books, magazines, DVDs and CDs, so I always check that out, too. I have loved the library since I was just a kid and used to hang out at the Buhl Library, a beautiful old building. http://buhlpubliclibrary.blogspot.com/
Anyway, I've had my smoothie so I'd better go shower and get dressed. I put raw turnip in my smoothie today, not sure that's my favorite taste, but I could probably get used to it.
Have a great day!
Hi ladies,
OMG It brings back memories!
Had a very nice Wednesday evening, a yummy pasta dinner, some yummy ice cream and great TV shows too. Finished off my CBS Sunday show I taped before bed, part by myself and the rest with Chuck. Had a pretty good sleep only one pit stop during the night but some very weird dreams and in an apartment I didn't even recognize. One lucky Fresno person who the Powerball lottery last night...lucky devil. We play when we go to SaveMart, but the mega lotto here, but they are now changing it to pay off in 30 years. We want to do up our numbers and do the Powerball and regular lotto here, we shall see.
Got my Thursday dusting in before I even got on line and the vacuuming and my sliding glass doors too, so hubby did the kitchen stuff and then took Buddy out. I was finished with the front so headed for the back door.
After we had our glass of OJ and did some serious talking about stuff. I washed the bathroom floors I didn't get to on Tuesday, cleaned the old mat as well as I could, can't put it in the washer anymore or the dryer, back is all flaky and so it slips a lot. But it's clean and drying outside. Buddy wasn't happy when he and Chuck went into the bathroom before lunch and he didn't have his mat. He is so possessive of 'his things' he has to sniff the mat and check it when I come back in from shaking it outside...so cute!
Then I did a letter up for my primary doctor, she finally called Wednesday night...message is of no consequence as she didn't answer my questions I left for her assistant and I didn't get to speak to her as she called whiled we napped. She said I could leave a detailed message.
Yes you guessed I made sure in my letter that I told her I DID leave a detailed message and then Cristal called to say that doctor would call me in an hour on Monday. In any case she has all the information now so we shall see what comes next. I faxed it to her and then called Cristal and told her I faxed it and to call me to tell me she got....surprise surprise (in my Gomer Pyle voice)....I never heard from her.
I also got a call from the colonoscopy place but told them...that I was doing it through the hospital as an outpatient. However, that ain't gonna happen till I find someone to take me and bring me home...Handyride is NOT an option as all of you who have had it done know!
I also called in my prednisone and checked on Chuck's CVS order....man was I ticked off, I wanted to pound his head against a wall. MEN!
Then we looked at the blog and themes and all and a bunch of other stuff. He and Buddy took off, I cleared more mail out and then went and opened our fruit cans for lunch and put the open Gulden's mustard (it's a squeeze bottle and they changed the hole in it to MAKE IT BIGGER...man was I ticked off, I even wrote to them about it. Of course more mustard comes out so you WASTE it). So now I put 2 of them into our old Gulden's container from when we got those...can't find them anymore...at least out here. Plus we found the stuff in the squeeze bottle tastes better.
I worked on the blog a bit after lunch as I hadn't done so yet and wow has Wordpress changed. I used to have a reading group on them many years ago for many years, it was a lot of fun. Still am in contact with some of the ladies.
Got a late start as we both got engrossed in what we were doing, lost track of time and then had to do the 3 C's. But dinner was easy....our enchilada's and I decided on Renegade and Knight Rider, till we discovered Knight Rider was a double episode, so switched to Wonder Woman and then watched the last Mary Tyler Moore show on the Netflix disk, so we could send it our on Friday.
After dinner I started moving my winter clothes (or what passes for winter here LOL) and always had my donation bag there as I knew some were going. Still have the suit jacket and skirts to try on to check if they are staying or going.
Had a good night's sleep finally after 1 p.m. before I got to sleep. However, didn't have a pit stop still 5 a.m.
Got the bathrooms done Friday morning, plus the bug guy showed up to spray for the ants Chuck saw on Wednesday afternoon and the black widow I saw Thursday night when I did my "critter check" before Buddy goes out. So he also sprayed the back yard too. Plus it's gardener day. We got our pasta cooked up too this a.m.
In addition "Mr. Smarty pants" got an earful from me today with his 'holier than thou' attitude so we are barely speaking and I know I ain't apologizing. He will be waiting a long time. He has no compunction to say things to me and I am supposed to take it, well what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
I also got all my food emails changed over in addition to my boards too, plus some others...a whooping 58 of them already. Still have this one to do. Plus my on line stores.
Also did some blog work on Friday, well learning but Thursday did put several things in, which is the best way to learn how to use it. Will also check their how to section also. I saw 'his nibs' over there earlier.
I did up our notice to send out and read it to him but of course he said to leave it and then reminded me of the 'other stuff' we talked about putting in there. So be it...he can do it then. Oh it will probably be when hell freezes over, so I saved it so when he doesn't I will send the one I did out.
In addition worked on some of my Christmas presents too. Skipped nap as I felt fine and I wanted to do some more on them.
Had our spaghetti we cooked up earlier in the day and some of my PB ice cream Friday night and hubby picked our Highlander, Buffy and Laverne & Shirley for our viewing pleasure.
Got the other side of my closet moved around and now only have the drawers to do in my bureau. Which will happen one night next week. And then I have to wash it all...so Lucy and Ethel will be busy.
Saturday morning I got my dusting done, the clean towels up and the dirty ones in the wash before I even went on line.
Did wake up with a very very bloated, sore and unsettled stomach. Friday I was 'freezing' all day and felt flushed with a sinus headache so took an allergy pill, so wondering if it was coming one. In any case had diarrhea this morning so out came our bottle of Pepto and have taken one dosage already with another to come after lunch.
After breakfast with everything done and the bathrooms done yesterday...I got the office walls done and specifically the closet area and above it since I have to move Buddy's house, his food container and the rolling small file cabinet out and away from it. Last night I took the little plaque pics that are up above the closet on the wall. So got that done and wiped off the pics and put them back up. So now on Monday night after dinner I can do the door and behind the door, the safe and the area behind it and same for the other file cabinet (rolls) and the area and wall behind it. Will clean the fan during the day or have Chuck do it. But should be able to get the majority of the room done in the evening and then Saturday do the big book case and window and screen...wish me luck.
Got all my emails caught up too this morning and answered. But first thing tried to put the slideshow I was trying yesterday to get up on the blog but kept coming out too big. Even hubby with lots more knowledge on that couldn't get it up there. So Chuck eventually went and set up a YouTube account through the program and just put a link to it and it worked, so that's the way we will go with most but some of the smaller stuff we can put up there.
In addition I got our frittata made up for tonight's and next Saturday's dinner....Triple Cheddar frittata made with the Kraft Finely Shredded Triple Cheddar cheese (natural finely shredded Vermont white cheddar, Sharp Cheddar and Milk cheddar cheeses) won't be having any salsa on it tonight though or my normal side tortilla but instead a slice Oroweat Italian bread. Oh and the cheese is yummy as I took a taste test and Buddy too and he loved it. Buddy always comes out when I am cooking hoping there is something for him LOL
Unfortunately woke up with a very unsettled and stomach that is killing me and I have diarrhea. Sorry TMI...took a dosage of Pepto this a.m. and another after lunch. Yesterday I had chills and was freezing (we hit 80) so I should have known something was up but allergies were acting up so didn't think too much of it. However, today it's reminding me that it's not feeling good. Never and end.
Well no Netflix again today but Chuck said we got someone else's ad mail in our box. Was going to report it lost but Netflix won't allow you to do it now till Monday. Whatever, I had lots of options for Saturday night and with it a movie night, lots of movies to pick from. LOL
Also got some more work done on Christmas presents before nap time.
Well it's Sunday and a 'me day' and the other stuff that comes with Sunday at Sue's house, clean sheets, Lucy washing the dirty ones, Buddy patiently waiting for his pancake LOL and the CBS Sunday morning show with Charles taping.
Most important my weight is back to normal and I am feeling much better PTL
Off to breakfast, shower and coming back soft and smelling like a Cherry Blossom.
Have a good Sunday,
Hi Auntie Di....tell Molly I said Hi!
Sue (aka Buddy Max)
Hi Cherry Blossom Sue here,
It's a beautiful Fall day here in California, headed to the low 80s and tomorrow they say will start our cooler temps, barely get to 60 and later in the week in the low 70s...finally LOL Though since I did switch my clothes, a heat wave could be imminent. It's the standing joke with us but unfortunately it has also come to fruition over the years many many times. I switch and the temps go up and up LOL
We didn't watch a movie last night instead watched that 2 part Knight Rider which was awesome and then the recipe disk we got with the Cuisinart while we finished our ice tea's we pour for the evening, well Chuck did, I was up to water by that time and we had our last candy!
Had a wonderful Sunday....breakfast was yummy, Buddy was thrilled with his pancake (he always is but today he was sniffing the air even more than usual while it was heating up and very inpatient...with his 'isn't it cool yet face' LOL
Speaking of breakfast, many mornings Buddy waits for me to come out and I have to do 'his eating song'....OK background when we first starting putting the meds in his food we wanted to be sure he ate it and many times in the morning (unlike all the other dogs we have had, he doesn't dig in like they did) so I would get down and try to tempt him to eat it up. Finally came up with the 'munching and crunching song' hey all that Child Development education has helped over the years with my dogs LOL
However, some mornings he is already eating as he likes the meds now. But this morning he wasn't munching and crunching. He looked up at me and gave me that look so down I went and of course (Frank, Dean, Sammy and Joey are used oh and sometimes Uncle Jack) and started his song and before he started munching and crunching I got a kiss in my ear LOL He's so cute.
He and I had an awesome game of Tag Team Barbelly and a nice outside time....he was standing in the yard area while I was on the patio and he looked at me and cocked his head so I got down and squatted and said "come Buddy" and over he came and I gave him a HUG and he gave me a kiss and he walked to the door and in we went....OK I got tears in my eyes writing this....I love him so much.
Well off to do some board catch up and then some work on presents and play some Bookworm.
Looking forward to a great night too as it's a CharmedGate night. Plus a nice night of pasta....Farfalle with Hot Italian sausage pieces in Ragu Super Chunky mushroom sauce topped with pepper, and Parmesan/Romano cheese and a slice of Oroweat Italian bread...it's the first night of hot chocolate...mmmm good with a little vanilla creamer in it. For 3 scoop Sunday....1 scoop of Hot chocolate ice cream, and 2 scoops of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Hope you had a nice Sunday and same for tonight,
Just a quick Hello and Good Evening! Yep, I was called in today so I thought I'd better go for once! I work tomorrow but was surprised who called in and I guess she had a high temp. like the other lady who was out All week! At least she's not a FT worker. So I and a very new hk were it and the washer who doesn't help much. At least she wasn't feeling great so didn't sock it to us to much. We didn't even get bedspreads but then I do them tomorrow or putting them in all the closets so I suppose we will get lots now. I sure hope the 2 FT come in tomorrow So many calling in with hk etc. and we've sure had quite a few residents passing away lately. Age and maybe got sick to?
So I am sore and will soak my feet for a bit now. And get to bed as early as i can I guess. Was going to stop at my son's for a little bit but there was a car over so I didn't and called him but my cell phone isn't working today. It just says, Only Emergency Calls and wouldn't power up to call so not sure whats wrong. Dh's is working fine.
He said the neighbor guy had just been over for a bit and said I could have stopped in but I said I couldn't get a hold of him to see if someone just parked their car in his yard or, and I wouldn't come otherwise if he had company they all had days off except me. Hk who called in, well I think her mom is close to passing away as she was there with her 2 sisters so she might be off more for a while
Sue, loved the comic's and yes, we old one's can make a worse day for a young person seem pretty good by the end of it all hey? And the exercise one's are to true to! Plus the cat in a lap thing and Halloween ones' Hope you feel better soon to and get over that stuff. And you And Chuck are ok soon to Buddy Max sounds like a good hugger for sure! Give him one for me to! You sure got a lot done so please relax and take it easy until your ALL better now. Glad your 'me' day went well otherwise. I got to go and get vanilla smelling i guess. No sauna for a while if ever
Di and Mo, love those old little library's but never seem to get there either! Thats why I'd love to live in town, just to walk there to make myself comfortable in a corner even and read more I read some newspaper, or catalogs etc. but mostly before sleep and at work a little. I love reading though.
The soup's sound yummy and I saw a few on FB. Dh made his meatloaf today but I'm not eating it as I had turkey etc. at work and some chicken nuggets on way home so don't want my herbal sleep pills to have to be digested to long before they work.
Have a great evening all and better go as early comes quickly tomorrow! Yah
Hi ladies...time for me to catch up and I see I have lots of it to do too....
Bama yes going back to the old meds worked it just took a while cause I think the others had to work their way out. Oh yummy lemon zucchini bread. Congrats to the Tigers, Bama. Our Bulldogs won too!
YAH glad the natural meds are working for you.
Barb love your website too.
Angii, glad yours trip to the stores went well too. The Dutch Chocolate with a banana and PB shake sounds great.
I see Dianna, your body told you to rest too.
Wow that is some snow, YAH and glad you stayed home. I am with ya YAH I'd like to bottle Angii's energy too.
Thanks for the get well wishes Barb, sounds like you are starting to enjoy retirement and some old towels till you get the mud under control where the dogs come out helps and they can be washed easily. Got my flu shot already so I am good.
LOL about seems like you just cleaned Barb...wish I was closer to help with the cleaner. Check Amazon for old fashioned dust mops, they make those dust bunnies and dog hair go away easy in between vacuuming. Love the logo and so does Chuck.
YAH that's what we always say, you can always put more on to stay warm but only can take so much off.
Bama, I am with you I am more often cold than warm LOL
Angii, you are doing awesome 2 more inches and another pound....KUDOS!
Dianna, I am with Molasses on the shots not being covered too! And also with her on eating less. When I had my plateau years back it went on for a good 6 months till I finally started eating more and then I lost another 10 pounds over the next year.
Oh Molasses, I love William Katt and remember that Carrie movie. We also have all of the Greatest American Hero shows. Unfortunately the head/moutthaches come and go. Yes happy with our grocery trip.
HUGs on all the work issues YAH and yes General Chuck watches over me LOL
Yummy on the split pea soup, Barb and did ya go to the meeting?
Dianna, how did the cat make out going to the vet?
Dianna, did well in October till my med change and already thinking about my November stuff to do.
Don't beat yourself up on October as you have been busy and worrying about your knee and all. Glad the cat can stay and sorry he won't stay indoors...poor thing. HUGS on Christmas. Gonna be a lean one here and lots of regifting...such is life.
Molasses, glad your son is stateside again.
I see you didn't make it out Barb and oh your place could be fixed up nice for the holiday I am sure.
Di I am with Bama, I can't imagine not talking to all of you. I miss Carm, Sculley, Lisa and the other ladies too. I do talk to Lisa sometimes.
Glad you had a stress free day Angii...you deserve it. Angii, we have all of the Transformer movies...to bad you weren't closer.
Oh Dianna I am so glad the shots have been approved. Very sorry to hear about your youngest daughter I sure hope they figure out what is wrong. My prayers to your daughter.
Well I see Angii put into words what I was thinking LOL Dianna.
Well all caught up but with YAH's last post as it's time to go.
Good Evening all, We are back in Bama land. Trip was good but tiring. DH does all the driving. We went from heat this morning to Air Condidioning this evening. Crazy huh. Still have to unpack and I still hate Windows 8,. The text is so small I can hardly see it. I have tried everything to make it larger so I could see it.
Anyway will get caught up tomorrow . Going to finished unpacking.
Yikes, sorry about your tummy troubles, Sue. Hope it's all better by tomorrow. You don't need to start cleaning out for that colonoscopy till you get it scheduled! Hugs on being overwhelmed by your Buddy love. I think all of us dog lovers have felt that way about at least one, if not all, of our dogs. And I agree with the guy who thinks the candy is the best part of Halloween!
Glad you didn't get it socked to you anyway, YAH. Did you try re-seating the SIM card on your phone? Maybe it just slipped a bit out of the pocket. Is your library far away? I'd love to be able to walk to the library, but our road is not great for walking. When I run, I try to minimize my time on our road--there's no shoulder and although the speed limit is 45, most people seem to go quite a bit faster so it can be scary. I am crossing my fingers that you'll have good help tomorrow, and no sore insides or feet.
Welcome back, Bama--glad you had a safe, and quick, trip back!
Today is SIL's birthday so we went this afternoon to pick up a gift for him. DD wasn't very helpful in the suggestion dept. so I was on my own. It was a nice day here though, and the ride was scenic. We stopped to buy some fresh eggs on the way home. I used to sell mine for $1.35/dozen, so I was surprised that they were $3.50, but there's nothing like a fresh egg from a happy, free-range chicken.
Sweet dreams!
Have a Good day everyone! Snowy out but suppose to stop. Have a great day! Glad you got home safe Bama and that is a change! Mo, thanks for suggestion. Yep those good eggs are usually at least $3 now. Guy at work said his chickens weren't laying so good in the cold Well, better go, C U, Yah

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (3/12/14) – The 2nd Annual MCHS-Uncle Lee's High School Fishing Classic is set for Saturday, March 15 at Lake Malone State Park.
Mustang Bass Fishing Coach Cody Napier told SurfKY News the team greatly appreciates the help of Uncle Lee's in supporting the Mustang Fishing Team, which depends largely on funds and assistance from area supporters.
"We are happy to have Uncle Lee's helping out," Napier said. "Much like last week's competition, they will be supplying us with five $20 gift cards as prizes for First Place, Second Place and for the biggest fish caught."
Napier noted that preregistration is going well, with an increase over the number of participants who signed up for last year's event.
"Right now we have about 15 boats signed up, which is much better than last year," Napier said. "We're growing little by little (and) the weather should be much better than last weekend. The colder water was one thing that hurt us in last week's tournament at Lake Beshear. The combination of 3 to 4 inches of snow and ice, along with the low temperatures for so long, has really been rough on the team. The conditions have made it tough to catch fish. With a water temperature of 43 degrees, they just don't bite. Usually during this time of year the water temperature is at least 50 degrees, and that makes a big difference when it comes to catching fish."
Napier said the team is ready to get out on the water for practice this week.
"The team is really excited, especially with what looks like will be perfect fishing conditions," Napier said.
Check in time for competitors is 5:30 a.m., with competition starting at 7 a.m., and all fishermen should be back at the dock by 2 p.m.
The Mustang Bass Fishing Team will be back on the water Saturday, March 22 at Lake Beshear for an Ultimate Match Fishing type of competition, based on the hit show on the Outdoor Channel, according to Napier.
"You might say our team will be practicing and having fun at the same time," Napier said. "Each fishing team will compete with two mean in each boat. One person will start at the front of the boat, then each pair will switch back and forth from the front to the back. We did it last year and the team had a great time."
Regional high school bass fishing team competition begins April 5 at Lake Barkley.
"If we make it to the state competition, that will be April 25 and 26 at Kentucky Lake," Napier said. "We have had a short season, and with all of this cold weather is has made the season even shorter," Napier said.

2012 - What do we wish for Andy?
« on: July 10, 2012, 07:18 PM »
So, after the emotional roller coaster of the last two days, we can now take the positives from what was a really good two week tourney for our man. So I was thinking what is your wish list for the remainder of 2012? This is mine:-
* Firstly to be healthy and happy as both lead to confidence which in turn lead to success
* A placing i.e. Medal at the Olympics, doubles would be good as Andy gets such a kick out of doing well with and for Jamie
* A good build up to the USO successfully defending or bettering his points from last year.
* Winning the USO, preferably beating Fed 6-1, 6-2, 6-2!!!
* Qualifying for the O2 then winning it and securing his place in the heart of the British Nation.
Finally, I just want to see him get his rightful place at the top with the best....

* Consistent results in his remaining tournaments this year
* Win at least two Masters titles
* Keep on improving the serve and forehand and trial these improvements in the lesser tournaments
* Get victories over Novak, Fed and Rafa - a major step forward would be a victory against one of them at the USO, even if he doesn't end up winning the tournament
* Take time off if necessary to fully recover from his back injury
* A win at the USO would be great, but I think it might still be too soon - AO 2013 may be the one though

I like this thread, and as a newbie I have to say I like it here. I might even get addicted!
My hopes for Andy for the rest of the year are
1. Get rid of the back problem for definite.
2. Thrash Smugfed at the US Open, preferably in straights. 6-2 6-1 6-0 would be a laugh!
3. In the event of playing Fed at the US or any remaining tourney in 2012 I hope he has him where he inadvertently had Tsonga with a ball, or that he aims for him again (as he did in the final when Fed ducked) and hits him, preferably hard and with no apology - I'm not usually so unsporting, honest!
4. Win the US - that would shake things up a bit, and I did pick Andy for it ages ago.
5. A successful defence of his points from the Asia run from last year
6. Another Masters or two
7. Qualification for the World Tour finals
8. An Olympic medal, preferably gold (beating Fed in the final!) in the singles
9. A medal in the Olympic doubles with Jamie. Gold would be brill! I would cry!
10. A great performance at the World Tour Finals - how about a golden set against Fed. Go on Andy!
11. Continued happiness with the lovely Kim, who is so gorgeous it makes me green with envy!
12. A great indoor season
13. For the end of this year, beginning of next, excellent prep for the AO, where he goes on to win, don't mind over Fed or Djok. That would put some ghosts to bed.

Not much to add really as you've all said it all. But at least one of an olympics medal (preferably gold); USO or end of year tour finals winner. Of course would be great if he could achieve all three but one step at a time. Apart from that I hope he sorts out his back and otherwise stays injury free and that his tennis goes from strength to strength and he continues to look comfortable in his skin on court like he did at Wimbledon.

Andy to get into at least a second grand slam final this year.
Winning it at the US, always was his best chance away from the home pressure pot!
An Olympic medal would be good too.
O2 final and win.
Then he might even pick up the BBC SPOTY!

I may be the only one, but I wish people would make quick pages in more sizes than brag book or 12 by 12. I generally work with 8.5 by 11 with occasional forays into other sizes. 12 by 12 is my least prefered size for numerous reasons, but it seems that is the only size people use to make quick pages.
I love Andrea Gold's templates b/c they come in three sizes -- would someone please do that for quick pages too?

DC Office
2011 Appropriations for Research 2011 Appropriations for Research is available for review. Follow-up action on the Senate Energy Bill (2 March 2010) While the current debate on health care raging in the U.S. Congress has delayed finalization of the Senate energy bill, the hiatus is granting members of the IDA Washington office more opportunities for action. IDA's issue-driven, bipartisan approach continues to be well received on Capitol Hill. IDA's main objective in Congress is to advocate for the insertion of key language into the bill, and the extended time period has allowed us to expand our scope. Original focus issues involve:
These initial objectives have been expanded to include a call for research into better lighting technology and the allocation of funds to examine the correlation between artificial lighting and human and environmental health. The current Congressional climate has given IDA additional time to liaise with federal agencies that might be interested in funding research individually or as partners. IDA is also strengthening the connection with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and has plans to talk to EPA departmental staff about high CCT white light and its potential impact on the environment. Additionally, IDA is preparing to interface with national wellness organizations such as Health and Human Services and the National Institute of Health. Our position on energy legislation and the current pursuit of funding opportunities for research on white light offers numerous benefits to groups concerned with energy use, carbon output, and ecosystem and environmental health. The IDA Washington office continues to meet with a variety of environmental groups to encourage directions of shared interest. Congressional Letter to Dr. Chu at the Department of Energy (23 November 2009) Representatives Steve Israel, Raul Grijalva, Rush Holt and Gabrielle Giffords signed a letter to Secretary Steven Chu asking him to support essential research into the potential negative impact of Solid State Lighting on the glare, environment and sky glow. IDA Holds Briefings in House and Senate(22 July 2009) On Monday, 13 July and Tuesday, 14 July, the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) conducted informational briefings for the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, respectively. Similar to briefings held last summer, these sessions were intended as a general introduction to the problems caused by light pollution and what can be done to reduce wasted outdoor lighting. This year, topics included the possible impacts of current legislation. Both briefings were well attended
by legislators and Congressional aides. The House briefing was co-sponsored by Reps. Gabrielle Giffords (AZ 8), Raul Grijalva (AZ 7), and John Culberson (TX 7). The co-host and keynote speaker at the Senate briefing was Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska. Senator Begich implemented a major LED lighting installation when he was mayor of Anchorage, creating an estimated savings of 50 percent compared to other lighting systems. His presentation noted that 30 p ercent of the light coming from 35 million U.S. streetlights is wasted because it misses the target area – the street. This wasted light creates glare and sky glow. Additional speakers included Bob Parks, Managing Director of IDA's new Washington Office, Terry McGowan, IDA Board Member and Director of IDA's Technical Committee, and Chad Moore, Director of the National Parks Service Night Sky Program. In addition to delivering information on topics familiar to IDA members, they discussed the potential impact of developing energy efficient solid state lighting for outdoor lighting applications. Solid state lighting produces bluer light than most outdoor lighting currently in use. More research is needed to determine if the bluer, higher color temperature light will create more light pollution, and whether less of the new light is needed. IDA is pursuing funding for this research while continuing to educate Congress about the issue. View the speakers' presentations: Article: Reclaiming the Nighttime Sky by Judith H. Dobrzynski, the New Republic, USA, 03 March, 2009 Will 2009 be the year the federal government finally takes light pollution seriously? That's the hope of the International Dark-Sky Association, a Tucson-based group that just opened an office in Washington, D.C. The move is a sign that the IDA is expanding its mission beyond simply educating the public about the perils of too much light during the nighttime. Going forward, it also plans to educate the federal government—specifically the EPA—on the subject.

Hydration Capacity: 20 oz (.6 L)
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
Redesigned cap and bite valve provide faster flow and enhanced durability
Flip, Bite and Sip. No tipping required (though possible: just remove the straw)
New, sleek shape fits in the hand and most cup holders
Dishwasher Safe: All parts are top-rack dishwasher safe
Durable and spill-proof
Easy to carry: Integrated loop handle makes it easy to clip a carabiner or carry with the crook of a finger
100% BPA-Free
Wide-mouth opening is easy to fill with ice and water and a breeze to clean
New CamelBak Big Bite™ Valve is compatible with CamelBak® eddy™ and CamelBak® Groove® bottles
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Lifetime Guarantee
Dimensions: 2.25 x 3.5 x 9 in (6 x 9 x 23 cm)
Big Bite Valve Material: medical grade silicone
Straw Material: BPA-Free
Bottle Material: BPA-Free Eastman Tritan™ Copolyester. Tritan makes the eddy™ clear, vibrant, durable, dishwasher safe and 100% BPA-Free.
Bisphenol-A is an ingredient used to make polycarbonate. In recent years, there has been increasing consumer demand for a bottle that is not made with Bisphenol-A (BPA), and CamelBak® is proud to offer BPA-free bottles with the same great properties customers have come to expect from polycarbonate: vibrant color, clarity, durability, dishwasher-safe, and with no residual taste. The entire CamelBak® bottle line is now available in BPA-Free materials.
You can use any beverage in the CamelBak® eddy™, however we do not recommend the use of carbonated beverages with the straw configuration because pressure can force liquid out through the straw. To use with carbonated beverages, we recommend that you remove the straw and drink via "tip and sip."
First pull off the bite valve and the straw from the cap. You can clean your bottle by hand or in the top rack of the dishwasher. For cleaning by hand, you can soak all parts in warm soapy water.
The clear thing is the CamelBak® Big Bite™ Valve. This patented feature provides easy drinking and spill-proof safety. Do NOT remove or cut this piece to drink. Simply bite it slightly and sip as you would out of a straw.
You can freeze the bottle but make sure: 1. The bottle is not completely full when you do this (we recommend only 3/4 full to allow for expansion of the water as it freezes to ice). 2. The bottle is right side up We also recommend that the bite valve stem NOT be flipped up or down if there is any frozen water in the tube. Wait until thawed.
Yes, but with special care because pressure can force liquid out through the straw. Keep the bottle right side up with the bite valve in the closed position. Remove the straw for additional protection. Expect a bit of "spurt" during the first sip. You may also twist the cap open to release any pressure and then close before your first sip.
We do not recommend using with hot drinks because the experience will be similar to drinking hot liquid through a straw.
The BPA-Free logo will be molded on the base of the CamelBak® eddy™. All CamelBak® bottles are BPA-free.
Use of any of these drinks in the bottle is fine, but thorough cleaning after each use is recommended.
After rigorous 3rd party testing of the BPA-free eddy™, no harmful chemicals have been detected to come in contact with, or leach into food/beverage surfaces. A FCN (Food Contact Substance Notification) notice #729 declared that Tritan is safe and meets all EPA and FDA guidelines for material that is to come in repeated contact with food. In addition, we have verified that all materials used in the bottle including Tritan meet the stringent guidelines set by California Proposition 65. Extraction tests were completed by independent 3rd party researchers, verifying that the new material meets all requirements as set forth by organizations such as: FDA food safety standards European Community food safety standards Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare California Prop 65
Feel free to use the CamelBak® eddy™ to warm up liquids (ie. up to a minute), but we don't recommend cooking your dinner in it. Do NOT microwave with the cap in place as it contains metal screws that are not microwave safe.
The CamelBak® eddy™ is compatible with filters that adapt to a 63 mm screw top opening (in other words, it's compatible with most filters on the market).
No, there is no residual taste in the bottle materials, and it's also stain-resistant. Some sports drinks and other flavored beverages can leave behind residue of flavor oils that could require extra cleaning.
Removal of the straw allows a "tip and sip" mode of drinking.
The CamelBak® eddy™ line is made from a copolyester polymer called Tritan™, made by Eastman®. It offers the same great qualities that we have come to expect from polycarbonate bottles and is 100% BPA-Free. The BPA-Free CamelBak® eddy™ is now shipping to retail stores.
The eddy™ Caps are made of Polypropylene – for toughness and sealing performance.
The Big Bite™ Valve is made of Medical-Grade Silicone – for long life and taste-free performance.

30 years ago is was great; even 20 years ago is was great. Now...does anyone look around when they come down here? Curtis and up is terrible, and that's during the workday. Forget about coming down on a Sunday afternoon. If you have a family or anything valuable it's often just scary to be hanging out on the mall. The LoDo side of the mall...a bit better but still not great.
And the whole length is just dated and makes me feeling like it's 1992. The expense of regular maintenance or a makeover are too high (and we pay for it as taxpayers, not the vendors and property owners proximate to the mall).
Time to turn it back into a regular street. It has run its course.

A brief history of Bobby Crosby: Milwaukee Brewer
milwaukee brewers March 18th, 2013
Sad day for all you CrosBees out there as Bobby Crosby has found himself back in the unemployment line. Crosby hadn't played in the major leagues since 2010, but was attempting a comeback with the Brewers this season. Crosby had a reputation of being an excellent glove man with a bat that resembled a branch that fell off of a dead tree that he was able to live up to in Brewers spring training. Crosby hoped that he could get enough hits off of mediocre pitching in spring training to temporarily convince the Brewers that he had value, but was unable to even accomplish this simple task as he often struck out when hitting off the tee in batting practice.
His time with the Brewers was short lived, but for completionist's sake we have created this archive of his entire Brewers career. For science. Read the rest of this entry »

Field Report: 25-Seven Systems PLM
The Program Length Manager (PLM) from 25-Seven Systems is a 1RU time compression/expansion processor that can stretch or shrink audio programs in real time. It can be used to shorten the duration of programs, allowing additional material to be inserted with no loss of content, or stretch short programs so they precisely fill their allotted time slot. The PLM does this without pitch change, artifacts or glitches at various speed changes.
Out of the box the unit is easy to set up, and the front panel is easy to read and understand. Viewing the front from left to right you find the input level meter, consisting of four LEDs. Next is the LCD display to show information on the current stretch or shrink session and menu displays. To the right of the LCD are the cursor buttons to navigate around the LCD, the red X (cancel) button, which exits a current menu without making any changes, and the enter button displayed as a green checkmark in the center of the cursor buttons. To the right of these buttons are the buffer, play and reset buttons used for the shrink and stretch sessions.
On the rear panel is the IEC power input (universal input 100-240Vac). There is an Ethernet port used for remote control via Web browser, serial remote control over IP, and synchronization to a network time server. There is a serial control output and GPIO (parallel) control output; however, I do not use these. Next are the digital and analog ins and outs via XLR connectors, which can be set to AES3 or S/PDIF. The analog and digital XLR inputs and outputs are wired to bypass relays, so if the power fails, incoming audio is connected directly to the outputs via passive bypass.
Surviving translation
At Radio Free Asia we needed to test the PLM with programs in our nine broadcast languages. We broadcast in Burmese, Cantonese, Khmer, Korean, Lao, Mandarin, Tibetan, Uyghur and Vietnamese. Because these languages all have different tone, pitch and vernacular qualities they needed to be tested separately, at different stretch and shrink times and ratios, to determine the amount of stretch and shrink that could be performed. The results, along with the control audio, were given to a representative from each service to listen to and grade. The listeners were not told what they were listening too, they were simply told to listen and rate the file to let us know if it was broadcast quality. Using the most critical examinations we discovered that in our languages we cannot push the PLM past a 7.5 percent shrink or expand. This allows us to stretch or shrink a 60-minute show by up to 4.5 minutes without the listener being able to audibly tell anything was done to the show. Out of curiosity, we also did our own tests in English and discovered that we could go up to 10 percent with no ill effects.
Stretching and expanding a file in the PLM can be set up very quickly. To stretch a file simply set the input time or the length of the original file, the output time or the desired length, and the rate at which to perform the stretch or shrink. Once everything is set up the play button flashes. Start the source audio and hit the play button on the box at the same time and you are on your way.
To expand a file, again set the input and output time as well as the percentage rate of the stretch. Instead of the play button flashing, the buffer button flashes. The source needs to be started before the actual broadcast time. If the program is being stretched by 3 minutes, the audio source needs to be started at least 3 minutes before going to air. When the source audio is started, the user also engages the buffer button. No audio will come out of the PLM until the buffer for the stretch has been met. When this happens the green play button will flash. Once play is pressed, the PLM will play the audio and begin to shrink the program to fit into the set time.

(UPDATED COVERAGE, 4:50 p.m.) The U.S. Department of Agriculture's final say on changes to Women, Infants and Children program rules shuts the door on white potatoes.
The exclusion — referring to all non-sweet potatoes — has been in place since 2009, but the USDA announced the final rule on Feb. 28.
Agriculture Undersecretary Kevin Concannon, however, said a new scientific review of the WIC food packages will begin soon.
A statement from the National Potato Council said the group is disappointed with the agency's decision but will continue to work for approval in the WIC fruit and vegetable vouchers.
The final rule also indicates that the fruit and vegetable voucher for children would be raised from $6 to $8 per month. Vouchers for women remain at $10 each month.
Other changes allow purchases of fresh fruits and vegetables instead of jars of baby food for older infants.
Those changes will help increase fruit and vegetable consumption, said Tom Stenzel, president of the United Fresh Produce Association, Washington, D.C. Another provision allows WIC mothers to add their own money to fruit and vegetable purchses when the price goes over the amount of the voucher.
"Our only disappointment is that we continue to believe that WIC vouchers should include all fresh fruits and vegetables, without added fats, sugar or sodium, including fresh white potatoes," Stenzel said in a statement.

I'm a pretty huge fan of cottage cheese - it's a great source of protein and calcium, it tastes great, and it can be eaten sweet or salty. The only thing to watch for is the sodium content, but since the rest of my diet is relatively low in sodium and my family has no blood pressure issues, I figure a little cottage cheese every now and then won't hurt me. Lactaid Cottage Cheese is one of my favorites, but it's not available in 8 ounce containers. Friendship 1% Lowfat Cottage Cheese, however, is. I bought a small container at the grocery store for $1.99.
Let's start with discussing the nutrition facts, because as it turned out, this was the best aspect of this cottage cheese. Each 1/2 cup serving (half a container) provides 90 calories, 1 gram of fat, 0.5 grams of which is saturated, 15% of the daily value for sodium, no fiber, 3 grams of sugar, 16 grams of protein, and 10% of the DV for calcium.
The ingredients include Cultured Pasteurized Grade A Skim Milk, Milk, Nonfat Milk, Salt, Vitamin A Palmitate, Carbon Dioxide Added To Protect Freshness And Enzyme.
As for taste, I wasn't thrilled. Like the Friendship All Natural 1% Whipped Cottage Cheese Review, this version is also too dry and bland. I really like my cottage cheese to be liquidy enough that I can spoon it up easily without feeling like I'm eating something whipped (unless it's whipped cottage cheese).
Overall, although this is available in smaller containers, I probably won't be buying it again, and will stick with Friendship All Natural Digestive Health Cottage Cheese With Pro-active Nutrients Review or Lactaid Cottage Cheese.

If you have to dress up in a suit for your nine-to-five job, dress socks are a must. Wearing white socks with dress pants is a major fashion faux pas. Avoid being the topic of conversation at the water cooler with dress socks that blend in with your slacks.
Once you get off work, it's time to hit the gym. Keep extra pairs of athletic socks with your men's activewear in your gym bag. Socks meant for physical activity are made out of cotton or other fabrics that help wick sweat away from the feet. These socks also have more padding in the ball and heel of your foot for extra support.
Just like you have more than one pair of men's underwear, you wouldn't wear the same pair of socks over and over again. Men who wear tough boots to work need socks that are just as heavy-duty. You'll find socks specifically meant to fit your steel-toed boots or crew socks that are simply meant to put up with the wear and tear of the work day.
No matter what your schedule looks like, when you own a wide variety of socks, you'll be prepared for anything that comes your way. Shop at Sears to find high-quality socks so your feet stay comfortable and dry throughout the day.
