Information About Independent Living in Long Beach
The city of Long Beach lies on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Los Angeles County. This California city recorded a population of 462,257 in 2010, according to the census, making it the seventh largest in the state. Focused heavily on maritime activities, it is home to the Port of Long Beach, one of largest in the world and the second busiest in the United States. Originally the home to several groups of indigenous people, Spanish Europeans arrived in the area during the 16th century. By 1843, the area was being sold off as ranches to settlers from the east. In 1897, the city was incorporated. Because of its mild climate, the city quickly became known as a seaside resort.
Due to its long history, vibrant cultural base and diverse population, individuals living in Long Beach independent living communities will find a wide range of interesting attractions in the city. The RMS Queen Mary is an ocean liner that is docked permanently at Long Beach. Featuring a unique art deco design, this ship is about 200 feet longer than the RMS Titanic. It has the distinction of being the world's fastest ship from 1936 until 1952, and is now a maritime museum and hotel. With its collection of more than 12,500 animals, the Aquarium of the Pacific sits on a five-acre Rainbow Harbor site. Gondolier trips along the canals of Napa allow people to enjoy a romantic event that can only be found in a few other places in the western United States.
Senior Activities
With six senior centers scattered conveniently throughout the city, Long Beach Parks, Recreation and Marine offers many programs and activities that are specifically designed for seniors, such as residents of Long Beach independent living communities. These include opportunities for lifelong learning, enrichment, arts, health services, excursions, cultural experiences, nutritional services, fitness, special events, dance and more.
Medical Facilities
Long Beach Memorial Medical Center is a teaching hospital that performed more than 12,600 surgeries on the inpatient and outpatient levels, according to data gathered by U.S. News recently. With over 51,000 emergency room visits and 22,000 admissions, this hospital has garnered high marks for the following specialties that might be of particular interest to individuals living in Long Beach independent living communities: orthopedics, urology, endocrinology and diabetes.
A hospital that focuses on surgery and general medical care, St. Mary Medical Center, has 165 beds. It performed over 4,000 inpatient and outpatient surgeries during the last year such data was available. Seniors will be pleased to know that this hospital performed highly in patient safety by showing a commitment to keeping medical mistakes and accidents reduced. Some specialties that it ranks highly in include geriatrics, gastroenterology, neurology and neurosurgery.
Computer scheduled bus routes operated by Long Beach Transit typically end or begin at the Long Beach Transit Mall, located downtown. About 38 routes are usually in operation at a time. A shuttle system, also operated by Long Beach Transit, provides free services in the downtown area to passengers, like those who enjoy Long Beach independent living options, who want to enjoy its many opportunities for entertainment, shopping and eating. During the summer, the transit company also operates AquaBuses, 49-passenger water taxis.
Long Beach offers a favorable climate, top medical care, extensive public transportation options, diverse senior activities and a vibrant entertainment and cultural base. These amenities make this California city a mecca for those who want to enjoy their retirement.

Have noticed that many giant vegetables seem to come from more northern lattitudes, except in those cases where very warm temperatures are needed, many even from Alaska. Is it possible that length of daylight during summer days is a strong contributing factor to the growth of giants? Or have I misread the stats? And if this would be the case (and I mention this only because I guess that giant growers are somewhat of a wacky, dedicated group, especially the pumpkin people) why not extend daylight to 24 hrs with artificial means?.....Elder |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes the daylenth does excelerate the process. Doesn't work for all plants. It causes some plants to run to seed. Cabbages love it. Lettuces tend to bolt. Everything has it's own internal time clock. 24 hours of daylight won't work for all plants. Later tohechito. |

lettuce has and 8 hour clock and will bolt in 4 weeks from seed in the summer heat. |

24 hour daylight( the white nights ) seems to work well for : the cabbage family (these are cold weather crops)( cabbage, cauliflower, rhutabagas ,broccoli,kale,collards,rape,turnips, mustard ) and strawberries . All grow large in Alaska ! Use artificial light if you want it is not practical on a large scale . |

Another special treat from my husband this fall: a weekend away by myself. We looked for cheaper flights and found that it was fairly reasonable to fly to Denver. My man's aunt owns a condo up in the mountains. We found that it was available, so we booked the ticket and off I went!
The plane trip went uneventfully. As I went through security I realized that I haven't flown alone in six years. Boy, it was a treat! Although, I've found that people treat you with much more kindness when you have kids with you (for the most part).
After a small (okay, big) frustration with the car rental company, I was on my way. The drive took about 2 hours through the mountains. At one point the fog was so thick that I had trouble seeing in front of me. I do NOT like that feeling, especially when it seems that there is a large drop off on the side of the road. On the way back to the airport Sunday I found out that I had missed some incredible scenery due to the fog. What a surprise to see stunning views where before all I could see was fog!
My ride. More than I planned to get but such a special extra!
I got to the condo, climbed in bed and read until I fell asleep. Heavenly! When I woke up I walked the town twice and then found a place to grab a hamburger. What a truly luxurious day!
The view out my window…see the fall colors? Oh, they made me happy!
Saturday I woke up so early (doesn't that figure)! But I went back to sleep for a few more hours. When I rolled out of bed I got ready and headed to a ski town a few miles away. I walked through the town for almost 2 hours, taking pictures, buying souvenirs, enjoying the COLD weather! I really wanted to buy some winter hats, sweatshirts, etc, but then I remembered that I live in Texas now, where we're still having temps in the 80s. So I thoroughly enjoyed the cold this weekend!
A lake between the town I stayed in and the ski town I visited
I drove around, just admiring the gorgeous scenery! Seriously, I am ready to move to Colorado! I love it!
I spent two hours lounging in bed with the covers pulled up while I watched mindless tv. So relaxing! My brother-in-law lives about 2 hours away. Even though his wife was out of town he drove all the way up with their bikes so that we could do some biking and hang out. We rode 8 miles! I'd really like to brag about that, but truthfully, most of the ride was coasting downhill.
After the ride, we went to a restaurant in town and ordered a taco pizza. I have never thought of a taco pizza as appetizing, but it looked good this time, probably because I was really hungry! Let me tell you, this was one of the best pizzas I've ever had! It had chicken, black beans, chipotle sauce, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. So good! I can't wait to try making it at home.
I spent the evening reading and watching Ohio State beat Nebraska. Again, relaxation at its finest!
Sunset out my window
Sunday morning I took my time getting ready and packed. Then I walked to town to get a hot chocolate and cinnamon roll. I left early to head back to Denver to catch my flight. Along the way I stopped to take pictures of the scenery and to take in the tourist attractions.
Besides the 8- or 9-year-old that never stopped moving and kept hitting my arm, the flight back went quickly and smoothly. I was thrilled to be home with my babies again, but truly, this weekend ranks way up there as far as trips go! I am so thankful for the opportunity I had to get away!
4 Comments on "Weekend Away"
Sounds like a wonderful trip. So glad you were able to get away and relax! Every time we go to CO we wish we had moved there. Maybe we can go in on a vacation house together?!
That sounds so, so, so great. Glad you enjoyed yourself!
Wow, Colorado is gorgeous! Glad you had an amazing time. Next time you need to get away, you can come stay with me.
Lovely! So glad you had the chance to take care of yourself!

Each month, meet one of the dedicated advocates striving toward a more compassionate world for farmed animals. This month, meet animal care director, Jamie London.
How did you develop your interest in vegan lifestyle?
I was lucky that I questioned where my food came from at an early age thus prompting my personal evolution to veganism.
For me veganism is a way of life, not entirely unlike a religion. I practice every day. I believe that once you open your eyes to the pain and suffering of others, you see it everywhere. And as a conscientious being I have always felt the need to speak up for the ones without voices.
Is there a particular animal on the farm who you connect with?
Most people here know I have a particular fondness for turkeys, but I must say that I'm drawn more towards strong personalities. Turkeys just tend to have colossal ones.
What has been the most rewarding experience at Animal Place?
The Turlock Rescue. I don't believe I'll ever be able to explain the joy I felt as I watched them come out of those sheds and then learn to live like a chicken and become individuals in the weeks and months that followed.
Do you have any animal companions of your own?
Marvin (cat), Dixie (cat), Pixie (bestest dog ever) and Wendal (my other favorite)
Besides animals, what else are you passionate about?
Food, gardening, books, hiking
What advice would you give to people interested in transitioning to a vegetarian diet?
There are so many different substitutes out there for animal proteins, and so I recommend people try all that they can find.

The menu was created by executive chef Marco Porceddu, a native of Sardinia, Italy, and he blends the essential ingredients of organic and authentic Italian fare with the sexy design aesthetic of the new restaurant. The two-story-high main bar area features an earthy tile floor, a fireplace, copper ceilings and a terracotta wall. Glowing bulbs dot the ceiling, giving the space a warm glow. The garden patio fashions an urban jungle from greenery and moss.

Have Group, Will Travel replaced with faster flight paths, flask "Chug-A-Lug" perk removed {WoW}
Mar 22nd 2012 3:55PM I guess I'm the only one who LIKES the idea of getting rid of Have Group, Will Travel. I always thought it to be too overpowered. Warlocks and summoning stones should be able to summon. Giving EVERYONE the ability to summon the ENTIRE group is just a bit ridiculous, and I agree it makes the world a lot smaller, especially with Cata's ring of portals to its zones gave Cata a very broken up and isolated feel. I could see nerfing it --maybe allow it to summon 1 person and giving it a 24 hour cooldown. WoW is already so overpowered in so many ways. This is an mmo and whether you enjoy it or not, you need to do some travelling to traverse the world.

Breakfast Topic: Do you like the changes to classic holiday events? {WoW}
Apr 25th 2011 8:44AM I love holiday events, though some are better than others. I thought defending the horsemans attack at hallows end and the brewfest holiday events are some of the more succesful ones. I think when 310% flight went on sale it took something away from the holiday meta. I still love doing all the holidays. As a great man once said, hilarity ensues when Blizzard puts forth forced player interaction.

And this is one reason that I really do gravitate toward uncommon names. At least that way, it's uncommon for boys & girls so there's not much of a problem.
However, I went to HS with a boy named Ashley. He was the ONLY male Ashley and there were probaby 5 girl Ashley's. He didn't seem to get picked on or anything, though, so IDK, maybe it's not such a big deal.
My ds2's name is Rylan and I have heard that it's catching popularity with girls. It's kind of annoying as if there aren't enough girl names out there, just choose one already and leave our boys names alone! LOL, j/k. I know they have every right to name their child whatever they want be it a 'boy' or 'girl' name, but it does cause more problems for boys, I think, when they end up with a gender neutral name. I never imagined Rylan would be a girl name, it sounds very masculine to me and that is one of the reasons I chose it.
ds1 is Jace, and I really don't see that becoming gender neutral, but you never know.
I plan for potential ds3 to be either Asher, Emmett, or Brett. Brett is somewhat gender neutral as is Asher, I guess. Oh well, what am I to do, there just aren't that many choices that are safe.
I love the names Adysen & Baylor! Adorable. I didn't realize Adysen was so popular either. Of course, I've never looked much into girl names, I always waited until we knew what our children were before I got too serious about names. Baylor seems like it might be a neutral type name. I can see that name on a boy. Funny that your dd is Baylor, the show I mentioned, Switched at Birth, one of the female main characters is called Bay (not sure if it's short for anything or not)
Bretton Stone is a great name, maybe you'll get to use it this time!

only just found your blog,
only just found your blog, really like what you're doing. you may have come across this before, but instead of wiping with a damp cloth, wipe down rather with spirits. wiping with any water will cause the grain to rise which will effect your staining/tinting. of course you could just rub the grain out with a finer sandpaper but wiping with spirits is so much easier :)

I am so surprised at how well this works. It definitely calms my mind, something I struggle to do most nights. Dream Time has a very herbaceous scent, which wouldn't appeal to everyone. I'm going through a bit of a lavender phase at the moment though, so I quite like it (although I wouldn't wear it as a perfume, it's quite medicinal). I rub it onto my wrists so I can sniff it as I'm falling asleep like a reviewer mentioned earlier, and on my collarbones. I've tried in on my temples a couple of times too without any bad effects, but I'll probably avoid this as my skin is acne-prone and sensitive on my face. As for it being discontinued, the shop girl told me that it's only the solid perfumes, not the temple balms. I can't find any of the solid scents on the Aussie website though, so only time will tell. I'll be sad if it is discontinued though, because it really helps me get to sleep.
More reviews by PerfectPicture
I love this product - it lasts ages and really helps me fall to sleep quickly and a longers, better quality sleep.
It's now been discontinued. Gutted :(
Wonderful. Great to relax and help you sleep. Very similar to Dreamtime Bath melt. Bathe with a French Kiss, Waving not Drowning, Dreamtime Melt and Oh La La, and then put this on. Slip into a wonderful lavendar sleep.
This was way too greasy to use, but the smell was very comforting. I can really smell the lavender and natural oils that were used. This was definitely not for me. I ended up using it to moisturize my legs and then tossed it in the garbage. Lush has way better products than this item.
Smelled a bit too strong for my liking, blocked up my throat and gave me a headache. Didn't help me get to sleep because I got a bit nauseous from the smell.
It works for lots of people though. And the usage is pretty decent for the size.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
100% love. For a couple of months, I've had a very bad sleep pattern, which has resulted in feeling constantly overtired, like a small (grumpy!) kid! As tired as I am, my brain just won't switch off when I get to bed. I finally remembered to stagger into town and buy this tiny tin (perfect size for bedside, or travelling). The scent is gorgeous, lavendery with lemony hints. I applied to my temples (just a tiny bit) and wrists, lay with my wrist on the pillow in front of my face, and I swear I could feel my brain going, "Ahhhh!" My mind just slowed right down. My husband was still wide awake (again, a la small child). After plonking a wrist in front of his face and mumbling, "Shutupsmellwrist..." he went all quiet and sleepy! We were honestly stunned at how strong the effect was (either that or a Lush employee snuck in and doped our tea). For the first time in ages, we both woke up at 6am this morning and were able to get up without any snooze-button-bashing, and I have actually spent an entire day NOT feeling like a zombie for the first time in ages. I'm all excited about going to bed now....
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My rating on this fell right in the middle. On the one hand, I really like the scent of this product. It smells like Lush's Dreamtime bath melt- an herbal lavender. It's a great bedtime scent. On the other hand, the formula for this temple balm is thick and greasy (I think petroleum based?), so I feel like I can't really put it on my temples or I'll break out. In fact, I'm very careful about where I put this stuff- wrists and behind the ears, mostly. This seems like a breakout waiting to happen. If this was something I could actually use the way I was supposed to it would get much higher ranks from me.
Like the other reviewer, I was so excited to have another Dreamtime scented product. But, I can barely smell this! I was hoping to use it as a solid perfume - but I'm not even sure what this product is for, since I can barely detect a scent, even after I've used quite a bit on my temples, wrists, etc.
I may try Into Thin Air, or Dream Cream, Schnuggle, just looking for a body product I can use after soaking in a lovely Dreamtime bath, and this is defintiely not it.
Fabulous product! It's probably my fave lush item because it smells identical to dreamtime bath melt! It is a creamy balm that you rub on and the smell is so relaxing and wonderful. Buy some today :) I cannot say enough good things about this product and the only downside is that it is very small, the size of a lip balm container.
When I heard that a Dream Time temple balm was going to be released, I was very excited. I was hoping that it would smell just like Dreamtime bath melt, the scent of which I adore, but that its sleep inducing qualities would be far more superior, since the bath melt never managed to lull me to sleep. Once I received this, I was delighted to find that it does in fact smell exactly like Dreamtime bath melt. However, I've been using this every night now for a few weeks with no results. I've used it on my temples, on my wrists and even on my lip, right below my nose so I could smell it better before falling asleep but to no avail. It doesn't matter if I'm very sleepy or not at all, this temple balm simply makes no difference. Like I said before, it smells lovely, but not strong enough to be used as solid perfume, like some other LUSH temple balms, so I'm not sure how to use this in the future. I will definitely not be repurchasing this one.

I am taking care of my 95 year old mother's night blooming cereus. She has no idea how old this plant is . We have just had 3 beautiful blooms and 1 more bud on its way. The plant is very tall and unwieldly. Can someone tell me how to prune this back? Please be very specific because I have no idea what to do. |

I don't have a night blooming cereus, I wish I did though! It is my understanding that they blossom off the old growths, so you don't want to be to excited to cut it back or cut back too much. Maybe this will help: Quote: cereus get to be big, very big cacti. this is their nature and pruning should be limited to side branches to keep the plant in proportion. if you cut a main branch it will scar and look terrible unless this is done at the base of the cactus. most likely where a cut is made new branches will form off of its sides. if the plant gets to be just too big, i would suggest you cut side branches, let them air dry in shade during the warmth of a summer's week and then plant. they readily root and you will be able to grow multiple plants to replace the big, big momma. branches you want to root will sunburn on sides not previously exposed to the sun. http://www.desert-tropicals.com/bbs/posts/3363.html |

The Card
Checking out the card you can see this one isn't quite as fancy as the other Sapphire HD 7950 we looked out. Outside of the cooler, though, there are no changes with two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors at the back of the card and two CrossFire connectors at the front.
Finally we finish off on the I/O side of things where we find a Dual Link DVI connector, HDMI port and two MiniDP connectors to round off the back of the card.
Looking at the specifications of the Sapphire HD 7950 here today you can see that they've chosen to overclock the core by 10MHz. Normally we'd be annoyed with such a small overclock, but Sapphire don't actually market the card as an "Overclocked" edition version.
As for the 3GB of GDDR5 memory nothing changes there with the default 5GHz QDR clock being present. Because today, though, we wanted to compare this card against the reference clocked HIS card we looked at which carried the default 800MHz clock, we've bumped the core down to the default 800MHz clock. This just makes our comparison fair in our benchmarks today.

In order to arrive at the diagnosis of WM, your physician will perform a number of tests. Many of these same tests are also used for monitoring your disease status in order to determine if you need treatment of if you can postpone it.
The bone marrow biopsy (BMB) is the definitive test for confirming the diagnosis of WM. This procedure can be performed in a physician's office or in a monitored setting (such as a hospital) under local anesthetic or light sedation. The specimen is usually obtained from the posterior iliac crest (back of the hip bone) by using a large-bore needle. Both a liquid bone marrow sample and a solid bone sample may be taken. A pathologist examines the bone marrow cells under a microscope and may also perform additional testing with special stains, flow cytometry, or FISH analysis to further identify the type of cancer cells present. In WM, the pathologist will note an increased amount of lymphoplasmacytic cells (which have features of both lymphocytes and plasma cells) and estimate the amount of infiltration of these cells into the bone marrow. He will also examine the marrow to determine how healthy it is and whether it appears capable of generating adequate amounts of normal blood cells. Because a bone marrow biopsy is a costly and invasive technique, frequent biopsies are not usually recommended for disease monitoring.
In a small number of patients, masses or tumors of the malignant cells may be found outside the bone marrow and lymph nodes (extramedullary masses). These tumors may appear without significant elevation of IgM or other typical signs and symptoms of WM. CT (computed tomography) scans or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) may offer an opportunity to assess this possibility and can be obtained as warranted by unusual signs or symptoms.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines for WM (NOTE: you'll have to create an account to view the document) include the use of CT scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis as part of the essential workup following a WM diagnosis to determine the presence and degree of lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes), splenomegaly (enlarged spleen), and masses or tumors of malignant cells in extramedullary sites. The NCCN is a non-profit alliance of 21 cancer centers in the U.S. whose goal is to improve the quality and effectiveness of care provided to cancer patients.

The physical exam is the process by which a health care professional investigates the body of a patient for signs of disease. It generally follows the taking of a medical history – an account of the symptoms experienced by the patient as well as questions regarding the patient's current and past health history. The physical exam aids in determining the correct diagnosis and devising the treatment plan.
A complete physical examination includes evaluation of general patient appearance and specific organ systems. A systematic examination generally starts at the head and finishes at the extremities. After the main organ systems have been investigated by inspection, palpation (feeling with the hands), percussion (tapping of the thorax and abdomen), and auscultation (listening to internal sounds with a stethoscope), specific tests may follow if a particular disease is suspected.
For instance, a physician who is examining a WM patient may look for and palpate an enlarged liver or spleen and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, or groin. He may note pallor if the patient is anemic. He will listen to the heart and lungs with a stethoscope to ascertain if they sound normal. He may assess the response of fingers and toes to stimulation to see if peripheral neuropathy is present.
Ophthalmology exams are recommended for WM patients at least once a year. They should be done more frequently if the patient has any blurring or loss of vision or if hyperviscosity (excessive thickening of the blood) is suspected. The back of the eye (fundus) is examined with an ophthalmoscope, which magnifies the blood vessels, nerves, and retina. Retinal hemorrhages, retinal detachments, and swollen blood vessels can be easily viewed using this technique.

Contract & Certificate of Insurance Management
Every year Baylor University, through faculty, staff and students enters into an untold number of contracts that focus on a wide array of activities, including outside services, and supplies, facilities use, construction, copyright, and research. Each of these contracts have the potential to result in unexpected financial harm to Baylor if faculty and staff involved in the contract negotiation process are not informed about appropriate management of contracts and Baylor's contracting policies and procedures. This webpage is intended to help Baylor avoid problems stemming from poor contract negotiation by helping non-legal faculty and staff to gain an understanding of contracting policies and procedures.The following is a brief list of examples of weak contracting practices that have the potential to result in financial loss to any party to a contract.
Relying on an oral agreement when a written contract would have memorialized and clarified the rights and obligations of each party to the contract
Behaving in a way that implies a contract when none exists
Using a written agreement that lacks details or includes ambiguous terms
Entering into an agreement that cannot be performed as written or is onerous for the institution to perform
Signing a form contract offered by a vendor that would put the institution at a disadvantage if a problem arose
Failing to allow adequate time to negotiate the most favorable terms possible
Please see the "Contract Review, Execution & Administration" section of this webpage for information regarding Baylor's contracting policy.

The rules controlling truckers are getting tighter, and it has the industry worried about a possible driver shortage.
Much of the angst stems from a set of regulations widely known as "CSA 2010," the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) initiative that, backers say, introduces new enforcement and compliance challenges aimed at improving safety — and ultimately saving lives and money.
The idea behind the rules, supporters say, is to protect trucking companies by introducing driver and fleet safety metrics that can help potential customers choose a carrier. Companies with safe drivers, the reasoning goes, are more prone to draw reliable and consistent customers.
The rules also place limits on the number of consecutive hours a driver can be behind the wheel.
"If they change that and take out an hour, that's going to hurt us," said Kenny Lund, vice president of support operations for La Canada, Calif.-based Allen Lund Co. Inc.
Some trucking industry participants think it could cull as much as 30% of drivers.
"CSA 2010 is certainly a big deal," said Kerry Byrne, executive vice president of Cincinnati-based Total Quality Logistics.
"While we don't know exactly what this looks like, it will certainly (have) the potential to impact driver capacity in a very big way.
"We have been preparing for what we believe will be a very tight truck market by focusing on expanding our carrier capacity, primarily by providing technology solutions for carriers that will make it attractive and easy to do business with us. An example of this would be our smart phone mobile application that we recently made available to carriers."
For the first time, drivers are bearing as much regulatory burden as carriers are, said Chuck Nelson, owner of New Braunfels, Texas-based Chuck's Transport Inc.
"In addition to the carrier having safety responsibility, now the driver is going to be involved in that reporting, as well," he said.
"Traditionally, all the safety violations or information from the scale houses have gone back against the carriers. Now, it will also go against the driver's license, as well. So, they're forcing the carrier and the driver to operate in a more safe and honest way of conducting business."
Nelson was asked what he thought of estimates that the new rules would cut the number of drivers by up to 20%.
"I would think that's a conservative number," he said.
And, he said, it could lead to a critical shortage of drivers.
"Easily," he said.
That means higher costs for customers — on top of already rising surcharges, Nelson said.

Annual Reports and Noise Program Overviews
Description. Noise programs are created to deal with aircraft noise and subsequent mitiga-
tion strategies on a communitywide level, by involving the public and educating them on noise
elements. Program materials can be geared toward a general audience, while other noise abate-
ment programs are tailored for aviation-industry professionals.
Lessons for Airport Managers.
· Aircraft noise elements tend to be highly technical and, therefore, not easily understood by the
general public.
· Airport managers can act as a go-between between the public and the aviation industry.

PLANT CITY, Fla. — Colorful Harvest LLC has added two salesmen as it expands its Florida strawberry acreage and introduces a new melon variety.
Rossignoli |
The Salinas, Calif.-based grower-shipper has brought in Jose Rossignoli as its director of sales and grower relations, a new position.
Casey Mills, who previously worked for Mills Family Farms, Salinas, with a field operations and sales background, joined Colorful Harvest as its business development manager.
Rossignoli formerly worked for Brooks Tropicals, Inc., Homestead, Fla., as its vice president of sales and director of national sales. He joined the grower-shipper in 2005 and worked as an assistant to president Neal "Pal" Brooks.
Rossignoli, who is relocating from Miami to work out of his Salinas home office, will work Colorful Harvest's California and Florida deals.
Mills |
Mills, who also recently worked as a Southern California account executive for TriCord Tradeshow Services, is relocating from the Palm Desert area to Salinas.
Though Doug Ranno, Colorful Harvest's chief operating officer and managing partner, declined to state acreage, he said the company has increased its acreage in strawberries, blueberries and blackberries up to 40% in all of its growing regions, which are Salinas, Watsonville, Calif., Oxnard, Calif., Santa Maria, Calif., Plant City, and in the Michoacan region of Mexico.
Colorful Harvest has added a hami melon. The large Asian melon resembles giant dinosaur eggs and remains popular with Asians, Ranno said.
The addition of the specialty melon helps Colorful Harvest expand its melon acreage.
The melon is grown in the Imperial Valley, Bakersfield, Calif., and in its West Side deal in Mendota, Calif..
Ranno said the staff additions come as the grower-shipper increases its presence among retail and wholesale buyers.
"People are beginning to recognize us as one of those companies that is in the berry business year-round," he said. "People are getting used to seeing the Colorful Harvest label 12 months out of the year."
Ranno said Mills was hired to bring depth to Colorful Harvest's team of business development managers and that his brings his Salinas Valley agricultural quality control and sales experience to the operation.
Rossignoli has experience working with senior level retail executives across the country and that his agricultural roots qualify him to communicate with growers around the globe and to facilitate national, year-round sourcing programs with retailers, wholesalers and food service companies, Ranno said.

The Indiana University Center for the Study of the Middle East endeavors to promote scholarly and cultural understanding of the Middle East via outreach, financial and academic support, and campus events.
CSME supports pursuits involving the understanding of our core Middle Eastern Languages, including Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Turkish. We frequently support IUB faculty and students who are committed to further exploring our core languages, and are involved in supporting the Turkish Flagship Program, and hope to contribute in developing an Arabic Flagship program at IUB soon. We are also attempting to expand language coverage to include Kurdish.
Furthermore, via our outreach program Alef Ba, we strive to promote the understanding of the Arabic language to local youths in the Bloomington community. Alef Ba is in its seventh year running and is sponsored through The Center for Global Change's "Bridges: Children, Languages, World" project. Volunteers work with community partners to teach Arabic to K-8 students and to build a greater awareness of Middle Eastern and North African cultures in the local community.
CSME works with various faculty, staff, and students on grants and grant proposals. Additionally, CSME is involved with bringing various visiting scholars to Indiana University, in order to promote a scholarly understanding of the Middle East
Dozens of events are sponsored and co-sponsored by CSME throughout the academic school year. We are dedicated to providing the student body with forums in which the various political, religious, linguistic, and cultural issues surrounding the Middle East can be discussed, and will often bring scholars from the Middle East to IUB for a chance in which students have real and engaging interactions.
Stop by the Center for the Study of the Middle East on 1105 E Atwater Avenue and check out our various other projects that we are engaged in.

You may have seen or heard about computers that run entire homes with the push of one button. You may have also thought that those systems are only for the extremely rich or tech-savvy home owner. This is not the case anymore. Over the past several years, the price and functionality for home electronics has shifted immensely. With improved wireless capabilities and innovations in electronic hardware, it is now possible to link audio, video, security, and climate control all in to one handheld device.
Companies such as Crestron, Elan, and Colorado vNet are some of the leaders in home integrated systems. The capabilities are limitless with these systems and are designed to fit the needs and wants of anyone. It is a great addition to any renovation and can easily be installed. Many of these systems can be managed and serviced via internet, which means systems can be controlled at an owner's place of work or by Smartphone. Servicing can also be done completely by remote and in most scenarios one would never need a tech to come for a house call.
Installing these types of integrated systems is a great way to improve the quality, value and efficiency of your home as well as bring it into the twenty-first century.

This is one of my all time favourite Yankee scents. It's definitely the perfect girly candle, light and sweet and strawberry. I love sickly sweet things and this candle definitely fits that bill. However I find it isn't too overbearing, because some obnoxiously sweet things can be, but this is nice, light and airy and perfectly good at making a room smell pretty. Definitely not one for those who aren't particularly fond of sweeter smells. However I will definitely be buying again and would recommend.

"Yum ... an absolutely luscious treat of plump, sweet strawberries buried in rich whipped cream" - i get a light strawberry scent from this candle, i get a slight (very slight) scent of sugar, which is meant to be the buttercream, it's a lovely daytime spring/summer scent.

Strawberry Buttercream has a light, airy strawberry scent; it has less of an artificial smell than Sweet Strawberry. This creamy scent has quite a small throw, but I love it for the bedroom because it is quite subtle and relaxing.

I bought this in the votive, and i can agree 100% with the person who posted below me. The scent is light, but i would get it again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this scent is literally mind-blowing when smelt unlit, but when it's lit, it doesn't deliver that same 'ohmygosh!'
instead it delivers, a subtle, smokey, waxy, pleasant milky strawberry. i have no complaints really, i mean it doesn't instantly make my room smell once i have lit it (like the 'lemon lavender'), but when i walk in and out my room i do notice the scent and it is a pleasant candle.
the reason i am a little disappointed, is that it smells different to its jar-opening, first impression and doesn't live up to it when it actually performs.
don't buy this is you have smelt this unlit and it has blown you away, but do buy this if the above description sounds appealing to you!
won't buy again.

Fettuccine Alfredo, Lightened Up
by Dana Angelo White in Meal Makeovers, December 15, 2009
Creamy, cheesy alfredo sauce lightened up? Can it be true? I've been searching for the best ways to make fettuccine alfredo easier on the waistline, and it all comes down to my secret ingredient.
The Bad News: Fat and Calorie Overload
A typical portion of this decadent dish has 1200 calories, 75 grams of fat, 47 grams of saturated fat and gives you more than half a day's worth of sodium. Yikes! Looking at a recipe, it's not hard to figure out why. The star ingredients are buckets of heavy cream, butter, cheese and mountains of pasta.
The Good News: Lightening It All Up
When it comes to these creamy, indulgent dishes, it's better to not try to replace ALL of the high-fat ingredients completely. Instead, to keep flavor, you simply use less (much less). A little butter, cream and Parmesan cheese can go a long way.
Simmering a large amount of heavy cream and butter creates a thick and creamy sauce. Since a single cup of cream has more than 800 calories, only use a 1/4 cup of cream and then add in my secret ingredient — light cream cheese! This swap makes the sauce just as silky and only adds a fraction of the fat and calories. Other options are milk thickened with cornstarch, yogurt, part-skim ricotta cheese or chicken stock.
As for the cheese, you're in luck. Parmesan cheese is naturally lower in fat than many other cheeses and it has a strong flavor, so you only need a little. A half to 2/3 cup of grated cheese is plenty for a recipe that serves four people (it'll be cheaper, too).
Perfecting Portions
Gigantic servings are where many pasta dishes go wrong. Instead of piles of pasta, serve your fettuccine in single-cup servings along with a lean protein (chicken or shrimp) and some vegetables. Below is my recipe, which I often serve with roasted shrimp and broccoli. The whole meal takes less than 20 minutes to make!
Dana's Fettuccine Alfredo
Serves: 4
8 ounces fettuccine (use whole-grain versions — whole-wheat or brown rice pasta — for extra fiber)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
4 ounces light cream cheese
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta according to package directions, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cream; season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes as the sauce thickens. Add cream cheese and mix well with a whisk until smooth. Add cooked pasta and grated cheese; toss well to combine. If mixture appears too dry, add small amounts of reserved cooking liquid until the sauce is smooth and pasta is well coated. Serve immediately.

thanks for the tofu recipe that's really creative!!!
A true Fettuccini Alfredo doesn't even have cream in it so I make the real deal using only butter, parmesan, salt and fresh ground pepper to taste with a ladle or so of the pasta liquid to make the "sauce". You'll never miss the cream!
Dana and Karla I love your recipe & suggestions for making this lighter. thanks
I used silken tofu in my beef stroganoff recipe and it was great. Worked well using shiritaki noodles too.
Shiritaki noodles are a great idea since they are so much lighter than pasta noodles. Most people are fine with tofu, as long as you don't tell them that it's there before they eat. It's a wonderful creamy fflavorless chameleon filler.
There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.Keep working ,great job!
Wow, thanks a bunch m8

Your Comments
Using the left hand is considered rude in Muslim countries, too. That's the hand you use for the potty. You don't tip in China, either. It's insulting. My wife from Shenyang was shocked when I tried to tip a waiter and if I burp after meals, she thinks I'm acting like a clown. Don't do either of these in northeastern China. Most of these are old rules no longer observed. Ask first.
Bill Sparkington
Your left hand in India is the crapper hand as in no toilet paper and toilets that are nothing more than a slab with a hole in it with a flat surface for the poo to collect where one of the "untouchables" scoop it up and cart off. You eat with the right hand and sit on the left hand. When dining in China at someone's house you do take off your shoes and place them at the front exit. Its mostly to do with China's horrible plumbing as feces flows down the middle of many streets under clay tiles. China also allows public deification especially with kids. So think of all of China being Bourbon Street. when at the dinner table in China don't just take a lot of the meat. Chances are, it cost them a week's pay to make that meal with most of the cost being the meat if they went to a market. There is a good chance the meat was ran over or caught in a trap. Could also be the neighbor's pet you are eating as all protein in China is kosher. So, you first take an ample portion of rice. You will like China's rice because its different than what you get in the US. All party members in good standing get an allotment of rice just like the USDA gives away beans, milk, butter, and pork to Indian tribes in the USA. So take plenty of rice then the vegetables, which will be deliciously spiced. Spicing will be to perfection so don't even think of asking for salt or pepper. Its perfect so don't go there. The last item you take on your plate is the meat item, even if its roasted rat, cat or dog.
Slavic peoples ALSO take off their shoes at the front door.
Korea never serve your own drink! There's a few more things around drinking like on how you hold your cup when someone is pouring your drink depending on seniority or not.
In Greece, holding out the palm of your hand toward someone (as in our "stop" gesture) supposedly is considered at least as offensive/provocative as flipping someone the bird in, say, NYC.
Moontaha Alam
Islam says that it's a sin to leave food on the plate … unless you are unable to have more of it …
I am from India. May be in some parts of India this comment is true. I have lived in Delhi, Punjab and in some south states. This comment is not valid. People equally use left or right hand as required by the situation.
I am left-handed. That would be pretty difficult when I go to India then, LOL
It's Just Me
Burping is NOT a compliment to the chef in China. Good grief.
Wow, there is no tipping in japan. That is wonderful! Here in Los Angeles everybody wants to get tipped now days. Pretty soon we'll have police and fire personal expecting a tip as well. It's getting to the point of ridiculous. Oh yeah, and what it's considered an acceptable tip days have gone up. 12%-14% was considered sufficient for a job well done, but now they want 18%. I suppose that most people have forgotten that tipping was originally done as a token of gratitude for a job well done. It was not considered a must. It has gotten out of hand.
I also like the idea of NOT using the horn in your car unless it's an emergency in Norway. Another beautiful concept. It sounds so civilized.
I only tip if the service is remarkable. Otherwise flat 5 or nothing. is the server/waitress isn't trying hard to earn a little extra, im not giving it to them
so if you tip 5 to a waitress this is what you are tipping.
20 % to the food runner.
10% for the busser.
and if you declare the tip the tax will take at least 30% of that. How much did you tip the waitress??? may be you want the waitress to suck you dirty and small D… dignity.
to add another fact the waitress make 2.95 $ an hour and when they get cheap as-s.tronautas like you they end up with a check that is 0 $$.
thank you for you support. i guaranty you that you go to a restaurant and don't even say hi, or please or thank you.
please don't leave you house cause no server wants to serve you.-
waiters serve multiple tables at a time, one low tip isn't going to ruin their life.
The smiling at stranger is b.s. I've been to Russia. I smiled at people and they smiled back pretty much every where I went.
It's Just Me
They might think you're crazy, though.

Christopher Parker is The UK's Greatest Purveyor of Virginia Wines
He and I recently caught up with one another via an email exchange. Though I wish it could have been more, with the holiday season, etc. I thought it would be best to just go with what we had.
Christopher has taken a small idea, and now in two-and-a-half years he has helped expand Virginia's reputation in the UK. Christopher is, in short, a visionary. Who knows where this will lead, but it can only lead to better things. It already has!
"I established my company specifically to build the international market for wines of Virginia. I am from the UK and moved to Virginia 21 years ago. I came here for business reasons and discovered wineries - who knew!!," Christopher wrote me.
"I established an import company in the UK to create the channel to market for Virginia wines and have a growing network of merchants there selling Virginia wines.
"My prior businesses have been in technology and software, but I have always loved wine, the art and science of winemaking, and the rich and positive lifestyle associated with it. My decision to create New Horizon Wines evolved over a few years. Having worked with winemakers in Virginia and tasted wines from many wineries over many vintages, I sensed a significant shift and upward trend in quality. It was as if, after 40 years of experimentation, trial & error, and deliberate steps taken by some wineries, everything was coming together. It was visible to me about 7 years ago.
"It was at that time I started to think about the possibilities. It was not until 2006 that I seriously started to form the strategy for creating the international market for Virginia wines. I sold my software company in 2007 and New Horizon Wines was born in 2008.
"I launched at the 2009 London International Wine Fair with winemakers from across the State of Virginia presenting their wines in London. This summer I organized and coordinated the wine events for the Governor McDonnell's Trade Mission, including briefing Oz Clarke to prepare for his guest appearance at the Fortnum & Mason event in London," related Christopher.
Winemakers included, Barboursville Vineyards – Luca Paschina; Veramar Vineyards – Justin Bogaty, Winemaker; Veritas Winery & Vineyards - Andrew & Patricia Hodson; White Hall Vineyards – Tony & Edie Champ, Owner; Breaux Vineyards – Chris Blosser, General Manager; Corcoran Vineyards - Jim Corcoran, Winemaker; Pearmund Cellars – Chris Pearmund, Owner and Williamsburg Winery – Matthew Meyer, Winemaker.
"Most recently I initiated and coordinated a visit by the Circle of Wine Writers to visit Virginia. I encouraged the support from the Virginia Wine Marketing Board and had the pleasure of working with Richard Leahy who worked with us to organize the wine tasting events."

SWAPS loot system offers another DKP option
It is probably not a perfect system (there's no way to reward points for anything other than loot dropping, for one thing, and while some people have modified the rules to create a separate bidding pool for class items, the basic system doesn't cover class or offspec items), but it does solve a lot of the questions of fairness, and it keeps everything pretty above-board: if you are low on points, the only reason would be that either you just started raiding, or that you've just spent a lot of points on an item. There's an addon, of course, and it will give you all sorts of reports and updates on where all of your raiders are at in the system. If you've been poking around for a DKP system that is based on being open and fair, it might be worth trying out in your guild.

I am so pumped about the upcoming swap, once the date is decided. Please see Here for the date being decided yet. My Plant Have and Plant Wish lists need some updating, as I see
what things have maybe been lost. I would like to start thinking about
prearranging some swaps, or getting some things together that are
specifically of interest to members who are hoping to get to attend.
Some native things have a small window of time when they can be found
and dug, so if anyone is interested in any of them I hope you speak up

Get those lists posted! Please post here anything you are interested in. We can then work out more details via emails.

Spotsylvania County, VA: Food-Truck Trend Sparks Spotsylvania Business
Rolling Restaurants is a partnership between young couple James and Stephanie Jarrell and longtime automotive fabricator Steve Brown.
Rolling Restaurants is a partnership between young couple James and Stephanie Jarrell and longtime automotive fabricator Steve Brown.
MAG Specialty Vehicles (MSV) is a custom manufacturer specializing in food and promotional trucks and trailers. Our core customers are Fortune 500 companies, marketing firms, and small businesses.
I like the idea of buying and supporting local Florida-based businesses, I like that the trucks are electric, and I like that they cater to veterans even more.
Each food truck owner would have his or own station with all the cooking essentials – a stove, oven and a flat top – and shared access to larger appliances. He would pool money from food trucks to buy everyday supplies like soda or gloves at lower prices than if the food trucks bought them individually.
The interest in the Food Truck/Mobile Café industry continues to explode, and as such we have a tremendous amount of inquiries into our business from customers who want to be in the Food Truck industry but are not quite sure how to put all the pieces and parts together
"I just needed to learn the food truck business from the ground up first, but I knew that this is where I wanted to be," Sperling said. "It feels good to finally see that vision become a reality|
Prestige Food Trucks, a premier central Florida food truck builder reports significant demand for mobile food venders as small to large restaurant chains/franchises consider expanding into mobile catering.
Prestige Food Trucks builds, sells, buys, repairs, rehabs, finances, leases and rents premium quality food trucks/mobile cafes & trailers to a wide range of clientele from sole-proprietors to nationwide chains. Their commitment is to offer complete turnkey development to their customers, from building to branding to getting on the street.
Many people may know but those who don't know, see, a food truck is essentially a restaurant on wheels, having various advantages over a traditional eat-in restaurant. You don't need to go through all the hassles of setting up your restaurant in the most hotshot place in your city or town; rather simply carry your truck hardware over there and crowd will come to you instead.
