- Im trying to have a baby but my doctor said I woul...
I want To have a baby by the middle of next moth but what can I do please help me cause me and my fiance would really love to have a babyright now
What do you mean by eggs opened? trying to concieve can be a fairly complicated process, (or fairly simple..depends on how you look at it). Is your doctor trying to tell you that you have fertility issues, or that you are in your luteal phase already?
This question doesn't make a lot of sense to me either but all I can really say is there is no sure fire way to get pregnant when you want to. Some women are more fertile than others, same goes for men, and you've really got no way to tell how fertile you are until you start trying, KWIM?
Even then, if you are tracking ovulation and all of that good stuff and your timing is impeccable you still only have a 20% chance of getting pregnant. It takes a lot of people that are perfectly fertile 6 months or even a year to get pregnant. The best thing you can do is to take good care of your body by eating well and exercising while you are trying and to eat, etc as though you were already pregnant so you don't have to worry about a night of binge drinking or anything like that.

Clean up the Audio
Audio coding has been around the professional sound industry since the early 1990s. Codec developers have been and continue to be on a fast track. Whereas the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) once viewed audio quality to be excellent at 256kb/s and 128kb/s, it now offers the same judgment at much lower bit-rates. It's much easier to improve the data payload, as compared to expanding the pipe.
To accomplish this requires using lower bit-rate codecs. Lowering the bit-rate increases potential degradation of audio performance. Advancement of codec design has allowed lower bit-rates to be employed, and most codecs sound decent at these rates, but they are much more fragile with regards to distortion and susceptible to artifacts. Due to the various types of codecs and lower bit-rates, getting a handle on the issues that annoy these functions is a moving target. The goal here is to seek out the gremlins and offer ways and means to avoid them.
All transmission systems suffer from some form of problem. The key to improving audio quality through a coded system is in locating the challenges and avoiding them. Take the FM stereo system — high frequency distortion and peak level overshoots were very common in early FM stereo generators. Both the pre-emphasis boost and sharp cutoff of the required low pass filters caused severe problems within the system. In-depth analysis of the system lead to the discovery of embedded pre-emphasis management and non-overshooting low-pass filters, which dramatically improved FM stereo performance.
While the concern for FM stereo was distortion and overshoot, coded audio suffers from sonic artifacts. These are the perceptible annoyances that bother the listener. Most sound anomalies are categorized as one form of distortion or another. Most common are harmonic distortion (THD) and intermodulation distortion (IMD). Coding artifacts are neither. When they are perceived, they occur due to inadequacies of the coding algorithm. Basically, this is the point where the encoder runs out of capability to reduce the audio data without the process of data reduction being heard. While there have not been specific technical terms assigned to describe these artifacts, they can be referred to as swishy-swirly, underwater-like, gurgle-like and sometimes synthetic-metallic.
Prior attempts
Dedicated audio processors that utilize look-ahead limiting and bandwidth control improve sound performance, but still do not reduce artifacts enough at low bit-rates, especially below 48kb/s. HD Radio, satcasters, podcasters and netcasters employ bit-rates at 24kb/s and lower. Reducing artifacts at these low rates usually requires severe bandwidth reduction, which in turn dulls the sound quality.
Careful listening to lower bit-rate coded audio reveals discoloration — not necessarily artifact-like or distorted, but some type of degrading ghost-like product being carried along with the signal. Attempts to remove it via signal processing seem to increase this characteristic. Listening to the output of the audio processor prior to the encode/decode section sounds very clean. Upon adding a codec to the scenario, the annoyance returns. This problem is observed with use of a common known codec for HD Radio (HDC) and various audio processors of different designers/companies. All produced the same results.
A clue to the problem is revealed when the timing in one of the audio processors is modified to reduce the amount of fast-limiting applied to presence and high frequencies. (This does not remove the limiting in this spectra, but changes the manner in which the limiter's timing responds to transient signals.) The audio immediately opens, along with clarity in the presence and high frequency range.

Galesville, Wis.
Is there criminal, treasonous behavior and that which is unconstitutional going on in Washington, D.C.? Is such diabolic behavior going on unchallenged in the White House?
The evidence of such destructive, wrongful behavior is ever before us, yet such vile behavior continues to go on unchallenged. Such cowardly inaction has not brought about anything good for America. There is an ample amount of evidence (wrong changes), about the loss of good, that inaction has brought upon all the citizens in America. If wrongdoers go unchallenged, we will continue to witness the deterioration and disappearance of more and more good in America.
The mannerisms of wrongful governmental officials get our attention. We notice and remember those who exhibit wild gesturing and strong compelling words. Since wrongful GOs speak loudly and are bold, good GOs should speak louder and be bolder still. Shamefully, wrongdoers in Washington, D.C. speak out loudly for anything that would be wrong in America, while good GOs remain silent and will not defend that which is right and good for America.
There are too many good GOs who are fraidy-cats, who are afraid to do what is required to defend and sustain what is good for every American. Being a dunderhead is not going to bring victory in saving and preserving that which is good. Wimpy chatterboxes are never going to ward off the destructive intentions of the loud-mouthers in the White House.
The wrongful GOs come across like bolts of lightening, while good GOs come across as irritable static. Their nearly inaudible rhetoric and passive attitude has resulted in giving place (bringing about) to more and more of that which is wrong. Since there are more than 300 million citizens at risk of losing that which is good, there shouldnt be any cowardism in the White House.
We know there are wrongful GOs who fight very hard for that which is wrong; therefore good GOs should be fighting much harder still; after all, the onslaught of wrongfulness is not going to end if cowards continue to cower in Washington, D.C.
The citizens of the United States need to send an ongoing tsunami of letters to the White House and also flood the White House with an ongoing tsunami of phone calls. Every American should demand, should insist, that the cowards at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue get off their posteriors and get into a battle mode against the wrongdoers in the White House. Every GO should be doggedly determined in putting a swift end to that which is criminal, treasonous and unconstitutional.
We should remind ourselves as to what has taken place in so many other countries when good folks did not speak up and defend what was good in their country. Wrongdoers must never go unchallenged in any country; after all, that which is good should always be tenaciously defended and preserved. However, at the present time, good in America is being lost because of cowardism. Good is also being taken away and replaced by that which is shocking and perverse.
Who is to blame for the disappearance of good in America? The cowards in the White House.
P.S. The GOs (wrongdoers) who are guilty of destroying good in America should be held liable and incarcerated.

The Honeywell 50250 is also sold with the 50250-N model number, although the two units are identical. The Honeywell 50250 is best used in small spaces, and does a good job of removing dust and other allergens from the air. The biggest complaint surrounding this unit is that it's noisy, noticeable even at low speeds.
Good for small rooms. The Honeywell 50250 is best used in small rooms, as it's not powerful enough to clean rooms with larger capacity. The Honeywell air purifier takes in air from all sides of its cylindrical design, expelling clean air out the top, but it doesn't pull as much air through its HEPA filter as more expensive models such as the IQAir New Edition HealthPro Plus (Est. $900) , experts say. Testers from one professional consumer testing organization say the Honeywell 50250 is excellent at removing dust, pollen and cigarette smoke at its high setting, and also does a good job at the low setting.
Easy use with filter indicator lights. Filter indicator lights let users know when it's time to change out -- or at least vacuum -- the filter for maximum performance. The unit itself is fairly large, according to Ed Sherbenou of Air-Purifier-Power.com, and it needs to sit a minimum of three feet away from a wall. Therefore, it will take up some available space in the room. It's lightweight (just 20 pounds) and has a carrying handle at the top for easy transfer from room to room. Replacement filters are easy to find online or in stores.
Noticeable noise on low, quite loud on high. Sherbenou praises the Honeywell's cleaning power, but says he refuses to use it in his bedroom because of the noise. One professional testing organization gives the Honeywell 50250 a rating of Poor for its noise level at the highest fan speed setting, and a slightly better rating of Good for noise at the lower speed settings. One owner posting feedback to Amazon.com explains, "It is noisy at the highest fan speed, and noticeable at the lowest fan speed. For those who wonder if you can tolerate the noise, it is not a machine cranking noise. It is a high air flow sound."
Affordable filters, low up-front cost. The Honeywell's long-lasting HEPA filter should be vacuumed twice a year, but Sherbenou says it will eventually have to be replaced. The Honeywell also uses an odor-reducing carbon prefilter (Est. $15) that should be replaced every three months. This is one of the least expensive air purifiers available, but it doesn't have the power to filter larger spaces.

The Honeywell Enviracaire 50250-N posts an average rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars from about 19 users here. Owners say it's quite loud, but it seems to work well. However, it's not Energy Star-rated, and a few owners point out that it uses a lot of energy.

Hillary is running ... of course?
Tuesday, March 26, 2013
WASHINGTON — No matter what Barack Obama does, he cannot escape the shadow of his former political opponent.
And she is running for president. Isn't she?
I've asked a half-dozen close Clinton associates if she's running and they all say the same thing: "I have no idea." I suspect this is true and that Hillary doesn't really know. Except that she does know, and all her colleagues really do know, and we all know. Really, don't we? How does Hillary Clinton walk away from the job that was meant to be hers? Forget fate. What about duty? Doesn't the first woman who has a real shot at becoming president of the United States have a duty to run? And win?
Not incidentally, the women's vote is hers. Even Republican women would find it hard not to cast a ballot for Hillary. If not her, then who? And when? The Republican bench may be full, but, with the exception of Jeb Bush, it seems full of vice presidents rather than presidents. A Bush-Clinton contest might drive the country into dynastic delirium, but there would be a certain poetic symmetry: Finally the right Bush and the right Clinton. |

World English Bible (WEB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I will stand at my watch, and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint. | 1 I will stand at my watch and station myself on the ramparts; I will look to see what he will say to me, and what answer I am to give to this complaint. |
2 Yahweh answered me, "Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. | 2 Then the LORD replied: "Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it. |
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won't prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won't delay. | 3 For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay. |
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith. | 4 "See, he is puffed up; his desires are not upright-- but the righteous will live by his faith-- |
5 Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. A haughty man who doesn't stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can't be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples. | 5 indeed, wine betrays him; he is arrogant and never at rest. Because he is as greedy as the grave and like death is never satisfied, he gathers to himself all the nations and takes captive all the peoples. |
6 Won't all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, 'Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?' | 6 "Will not all of them taunt him with ridicule and scorn, saying, " 'Woe to him who piles up stolen goods and makes himself wealthy by extortion! How long must this go on?' |
7 Won't your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim? | 7 Will not your debtors suddenly arise? Will they not wake up and make you tremble? Then you will become their victim. |
8 Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you, because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it. | 8 Because you have plundered many nations, the peoples who are left will plunder you. For you have shed man's blood; you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them. |
9 Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil! | 9 "Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain to set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of ruin! |
10 You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul. | 10 You have plotted the ruin of many peoples, shaming your own house and forfeiting your life. |
11 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it. | 11 The stones of the wall will cry out, and the beams of the woodwork will echo it. |
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity! | 12 "Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by crime! |
13 Behold, isn't it of Yahweh of Hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity? | 13 Has not the LORD Almighty determined that the people's labor is only fuel for the fire, that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing? |
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea. | 14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. |
15 "Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies! | 15 "Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk, so that he can gaze on their naked bodies. |
16 You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed! The cup of Yahweh's right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory. | 16 You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink and be exposed ! The cup from the LORD's right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory. |
17 For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them. | 17 The violence you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and your destruction of animals will terrify you.

18 "What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols? | 18 "Of what value is an idol, since a man has carved it? Or an image that teaches lies? For he who makes it trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak. |
19 Woe to him who says to the wood, 'Awake!' or to the mute stone, 'Arise!' Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. | 19 Woe to him who says to wood, 'Come to life!' Or to lifeless stone, 'Wake up!' Can it give guidance? It is covered with gold and silver; there is no breath in it. |

Has anyone actually ever eaten pickled chard stems? I've seen recipes but have never tried them. I don't want yo go thru all the work and not like them... Also, I found some Ario (sp?) Berries at the market. I've never had them before but the farmer let me try one and it tasted like a super concentrated berry to me...has anyone tried making a jam with these? Thanks

Can you describe the Ario berries? It's not a name that rings a bell but maybe a physical description will help. When you say super-concentrated berry, of what type? Carol |
Hi! It tastes like a super concentrated purple grape...sorry, don't know why I wrote berry, lol. They look like small purple grapes and they are the size of currants... |
oh, and they are firm like a blueberry...actually, if you didn't tast one, you would prolly mistake it for a blueberry |

Georgia Moves To Legalize Discrimination Against Gays by 365Gay.com January 24, 2004 Atlanta, GA -- Legislation will be introduced by Republicans in the Georgia legislature Monday that would override Atlanta's anti-discrimination law and legalize discrimination against gays and lesbians.The bill seeks to prevent the city from penalizing an exclusive country club which denies family memberships to same-sex couples. Rep. Earl Ehrhart (R-Powder Springs), the chief sponsor of the bill said it would forbid any government in Georgia from sanctioning "any private social organization" if that organization's rules abide by the Georgia Constitution and the U.S. Constitution. "I want to make it crystal clear," Ehrhart said. "If you comply with state law, you can't be punished." Under Georgia law, marriage is legal only between a man and a woman, and the state constitution does not prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Ehrhart is joined in sponsoring the bill by three other Republicans, including House Minority Whip Jerry Keen (R-St. Simons Island). Atlanta's Human Relations Commission found Druid Hills Golf Club guilty of violating the city's anti-discrimination ordinance when it refused to allow family privileges to two members one of whom is gay the other lesbian. The club, which charges a $40,000 initiation fee and about $475 in monthly dues, told Kyser and New that their partners were welcome to join but not as a families. Family rates are considerably lower than separate memberships. The club argued that it willingly accepts gay members, but only extends spousal benefits to legally married couples. The finding has been sent to Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin who could order the club to change its policy or lose its business and liquor licenses. Legal scholars, contacted by the Atlanta Constitution, are divided on the legality of the city's ordinance as it applies to clubs such as Druid Hills. While some said that private clubs can set rules as they see fit, under the right to freedom of association guaranteed in the First Amendment, other legal scholars argue that the club operates like a public accommodation, such as a bar or restaurant, and therefore cannot claim the First Amendment protection. |

Perseverance Pays: Certificate of Achievement Awards Long-Term Diabetics
Sixty-seven-year-old Gerald Lundstrom thinks it's his hearty Swedish stock that has something to do with his good health after fifty years of diabetes.
In fact, the Minneapolis native has lived with the disease so long that he hardly took notice when the fifty-year mark passed. Then some promotional material sent by the Joslin Diabetes Center caught his eye.
"It was an award for anyone who had lived with diabetes for fifty years," says Lundstrom. "I thought, 'who the heck gives a damn if I have diabetes.' " He filled out the questionnaire anyway and sent it in. A few weeks later first Joslin then Eli Lilly and Company called. They both wanted to give him a medal.
Both awards are a chance to honor the bravery of those living with diabetes. While a cure still has not been found for the disease, technological advances like blood glucose monitors, insulin pumps and new forms of insulin have made diabetes care easier and more effective.
Diagnosed with type 1 in 1946 at the age of 14, Lundstrom had none of those advances. Instead, he sharpened a crude reusable syringe with a stone and had to estimate what his blood sugar was by using a urine strip.
"When I first had diabetes I used to dismantle the syringe and boil it in a pot of water to sterilize it. And they had pieces of wire to stick in the needle to keep it open," remembers Lundstrom.
Since there was no way to have an exact blood sugar reading, Lundstrom often depended on his own judgment and his wife's.
"I had the most problems at night with lows," says Lundstrom. "In the past if I was running a 4+ or a 4- on the urine test strip I'd eat something, but, of course, if I was active, that'd change everything. So the wife and I would have to estimate if my protamine zinc insulin was still working into the night."
He's also experienced his share of discrimination. Working in a warehouse for a roller bearing company, Lundstrom noticed that newly hired employees were given promotions while he remained in the same position month after month.
"No one ever came right out and said it was my diabetes," says Lundstrom. "Still, I knew they were wary of it, and I sensed that had something to do with it."
One summer as a child he became unconscious from a low while visiting his aunt and uncle in the country.
"They called the doctor in a panic and he came out and injected me with glucose," remembers Lundstrom.
After the hypoglycemia incident his relatives made it known that they were not equipped to deal with such a fright again. From then on he stayed in the city.
Lundstrom says when he was diagnosed with diabetes it was the only time he ever saw his father cry.
Well, his father would be smiling now if he saw that his son has had a full and rewarding life despite his diabetes. In addition, he has had little trouble with diabetes complications.
"I have some macular degeneration in my eyes," he says. "Essentially I see with one-eye-and-a-half."
Other than that, he has been remarkably lucky, and Lundstrom knows it. Still, he's the first to admit that life with diabetes can be an uphill battle sometimes.
"This disease is tough and I've had my dose of scary insulin reactions," says Lundstrom. "Still, I'm not one to let the grass grow under my feet. Life goes on."
The Joslin Diabetes Center's certificate program was a labor of love started by Dr. Joslin in 1970. The program recognizes the accomplishments and challenges of living with the chronic disease.
Currently the program offers a certificate of achievement to anyone who has had diabetes for 25 years or a bronze medal and certificate to anyone who has had diabetes for 50 years or more. To qualify, a person with diabetes must be able to prove their diagnosis date through medical records or family records. Once qualified, Joslin will then contact Eli Lilly and Company which also awards a medallion necklace and certificate.
According to Nora Hallinan, coordinator of the Joslin program, 1,500 medals have been given out so far and the program is growing in popularity year by year.
There are even two people who have recently received the 75 year award called the "Achievement of Life Award," says Hallinan.
Every year Joslin has an annual January meeting in Boston for its award recipients. Hallinan says its a wonderful opportunity for the medical community to commend people with diabetes.
"Dealing with diabetes is a difficult feat. This is our opportunity to recognize that achievement," says Hallinan. "It's a very special day for all of us."
To find out more about Joslin's program call Nora Hallinan at the Joslin Diabetes Center at (617) 732-2564. Or write her at Joslin Diabetes Center, 1 Joslin Place, Boston, MA 02215. Or you can reach her by email at email@example.com.

Recently we had reported issues regarding uninstalling Maya 2011 on 64 bit OS.
Following Error was shown during the Uninstall Process.
Error 1606.Could not access network location bin
One Work around is to use the following msiexec command
msiexec /qb /X {887CB4A1-5DB4-4924-A2C6-CDCB72376CC7} INSTALLDIR="xxxxxxxxx"
(replace the xxxxxxxxx with the path where Maya 2011 is installed)
Important parameter for the work around is INSTALLDIR="xxxxxxxxx"
That workaround doesn't work for me.
In ran
msiexec /qb /X{02C4BEE3-863A-41CD-8EDB-D90B04795509} INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011"
and got the same error.
The GUID is for x64 SP1 Subscription Advantage Pack which was installed from a deployment created by the installer.
I first noticed this bug with Hotfix 2, the initial release worked fine. I didn't try Hotfix 1. So it's a regression that came with Hotfix 1 or 2. I already filed a bug report about it about 3 month ago. Please fix it. Being unable to uninstall Maya would hinder deploying the next update, so I haven't deployed any Hotfixes/SP1 yet, but totally would like to.
Please try INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2011\"
note:the trailing \
I tried ...\Maya2011 and ...\Maya2011\bin with and without trailing backslash. Did not work.
Try to run the Maya2011.msi from the deployment image folder.
Running msiexec /x \\path\to\Maya2011.msi produces the same error, also with INSTALLDIR parameter.
Just running the MSI interactively and choosing remove works. However, I'm not so keen on doing that with 80 workstations, so that doesn't solve my problem.
I've had log files created of the uninstallation attempts and will take a look at them when I find some time. Maybe I can find an important property that isn't set in unattended mode.
Try the following instead:-
msiexec /qb /X {887CB4A1-5DB4-4924-A2C6-CDCB72376CC7} ARPINSTALLLOCATION="xxxxxxxxx"
A custom action that runs only during uninstall sets INSTALLDIR to the value of ARPINSTALLLOCATION, which is blank during uninstall. So while you can set the INSTALLDIR property on the command line, it is overwritten with the value of ARPINSTALLLOCATION before it can be used.
Great, that works. Thank you very much.
hi sir,
can u please explain a bit basic,
how to run msiexec command.
and this issue occured when there was a power failure when installing autdesk maya 2011.
the next time i tried, this issue occured. im in a situation not able to format my os. so plz help me solve '
this problem
I have a similar error 1606 message while trying to install Autodesk Entertainment Creative suite for The Window side installation via Mac Boot Camp. The Mac side's installation has no problem. A search online seems to suggest problem with the registry. I reinstall Windows 7 just to make sure I start with a clean OS and still got the same error message. Another the solution suggested is to disconnect the internet, which seems to take care of this error message, but I end up with "not enough space" issue. the partition I made for the Window has 138-GB. I then try to test out on a different PC only machine, I got exactly the same thing.

"So good and so easy! Made last night in the oven with chicken tenderloin. Doubled sauce... Served with mashed potatoes and broccoli. A keeper!"
"I never knew that applesauce was supposed to be so GOOD! I loved this so much, almost too much. I needed applesauce for a recipe and discovered that despite my planning, I was out. So I searched here and found your fathers recipe. I will never ever look at jarred applesauce in the same light. Amazing, thank you for posting. <3"
"Very good marinade! I followed recipe exactly, and intended to add garlic to the marinade but forgot. Marinated London broil for 48 hours and the flavor was awesome! Next time, I will add the garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes for a little kick. *But the original recipe is perfect too!*
Thanks for posting."
"Excellent!! I made using the ingredients listed, although using Fat Free Wishbone Ranch, and Light Hellmans Mayo instead of sour cream (only because I was out). I used real bacon bits and added onion powder. I made for Thanksgiving and multiplied recipe for 20 people. Huge amount of pasta! Very good recipe. Everyone will love it tomorrow! Thanks."
"Very very good. I must say that the taste is much more BBQ sandwich than Sloppy Joe in nature. (Which is why I picked this recipe to begin with!) After tasting I added another teaspoon of brown sugar. The bbq sauce that I used was Kraft's Thick and Spicy Brown Sugar. I was out of celery so I just used some celery salt. Served with homemade bbq bea..."
"I hate any kind of greens, but I made these for my visiting parents and tasted when finished. Wow, they are really good. Personal note, these are very spicy. Cut down to a quarter tsp red pepper. Update: My family said they were the BEST greens they ever ate. High praise indeed!"
"These were very close to Chick fil A. We really liked them, I too marinated 6 breasts in pickle juice for 15 minutes. I also used only 2 tsp of kosher salt in the flour mix and it was almost too much then too. Next time I will reduce salt. Great recipe!!! I fried in peanut oil."
"Very good meatballs, I am not much of a meatball fan but I enjoyed these. I baked mine in the oven and froze half of the batch. With the others I made subs with my sauce and provelone cheese. Ummmm. God bless!"
"As a diabetic, who loves waldorf salad... I was thrilled to find this recipe. The only change was to use all yogurt instead of mayo. Very good. I will make this again and again. Even my non-diabetic husband ate a lot of this."

Titles read: "Sportshots No. 6 - Popular sports and sportsmen under the cine-camera lens. Ted Phelps, World's Sculling Champion. With explanatory commentary by Charles Eade - Sports Editor, Sunday Express."
Putney, London.
M/S of the River Thames at Putney; Ted Phelps rows into view in a small boat and waves at the camera. He starts to row over towards us. Charles Eade meets him at the riverside and asks how he is, then asks Ted to "show us how it's done".
Various shots of Ted rowing, some in slow motion, as Charles gives us more details about Ted and sculling. Ted's brother, Eric, is seen rowing alongside him. Charles mentions that the problem with sculling is that there is no 'gate money' (from spectators); he says Ted would probably make more money as an amateur in other sports.

NAIROBI, Kenya — Gunmen believed to be members of an extremist group have shot dead a pastor in Kenya's coastal town, Mombasa, police said Sunday.
Henry Ondiek, who is in charge of criminal investigations at the coast, said the pastor was shot at the entrance of the Mvita Primary School which hosts the Maximum Revival Centre, a mosque and another church and is guarded by police.
Ondiek did not say who was responsible for the attack, but it falls into a pattern of gun and explosive attacks at the Kenyan coast blamed on the al-Qaida-linked al-shabab militant group from Somalia.
Al-Shabab has vowed retribution for the presence of Kenyan troops fighting the militant group in Somalia. Kenya has suffered a string of attacks since it deployed troops to Somalia in Oct 2011.

According to the very reliable Forza Italia, Arsenal are linked with a move for Mario Balotelli in the coming summer transfer window. The Italian no doubt is one of the best strikers in the world who possesses dangerous prolific finishing and set pieces ability coupled with pace & strength. It won't be erroneous to term him as the next Henry for Arsenal if Arsene manages to secure his services.
The Italian had some disciplinary issues in the past but who doesn't? Wayne Rooney who has been Premier League's one of the best strikers had his share of controversies but he did manage to get rid of them under the superb management of Sir Alex. Balotelli can do that to under the management of Arsene Wenger who is currently the most experienced of the lot.
According to Sports Direct News, the Italian enjoyed his time at Manchester City despite having a torrid time in England with the country's press.
While it is unknown whether the former Inter striker would agree to a return to the country, the report suggest Wenger will still inquire about a possible summer move.
Balotelli joined AC Milan in a deal worth around €23 million in January 2013 from Manchester City.
So far this season Balotelli has scored nine goals in 16 league games, while Arsenal's starting striker Olivier Giroud has started 22 games and scored 10 goals in the league.

It can be easy to describe why you always choose a certain brand bag of chips or shampoo; maybe a friend recommended the product to you, it could be you tried it once and had a great experience or perhaps the brand came out with a great ad and you wanted to find out if it's true. Bottom line: the brand you choose time and time again is your go-to because the brand made a promise of what it could deliver and you found it to be true.
But how does this fit in with looking for a job? If you haven't already, it's time to introduce personal branding to your job search.
What is personal branding in a job search?
Hiring managers receive job applications in such large volume that it's essential for a job seeker to stand out from the crowd in order to be considered for the position. This is where personal branding comes in: by having a clear message of who you are, what experience you have and what direction you're going in, you're conveying your identity to the hiring manager instead of being a faceless part of the crowd. "You have to consider yourself as a whole package or product – not just your skills and functional abilities, but also your personality, creativity, enthusiasm, passion, et cetera," say Justin Thompson, consumer marketing manager at CareerBuilder. "Job seekers need to be able to wrap that up in a concise way so as to easily explain themselves to employers."
How do you create your own personal brand?
"Consider why you pick one brand of toothpaste over another – are they functionally different? No. But how they're packaged and what they offer beyond the actual paste is what makes you decide which one to buy," says Thompson. The same is true with personal branding. Take some time to brainstorm what you want in your personal brand. Go over your résumé, note what type of roles or projects you're drawn to, understand your work ethic and leadership qualities you have, figure out what direction you want to take your career in. Then start imagining how you can express this to hiring managers. Can you communicate your interests and experience in a clear message? Will a customized résumé help share your view? Can you get your brand across in your cover letter?
Will your brand work for every company you apply for? "No. But that's the beauty of being multi-faceted as a person," Thompson says. "You can play up certain parts of your 'brand' for certain companies or certain roles, especially if that's what is being required." In order to understand if your brand fits in with a company, check out their website or social media pages. Would your branding be consistent with the company's? Would this be a good partnership? Or do you need to readjust your message to be a better fit?
What job application materials should you consider using in your personal branding?
- Résumé: Your résumé needs to be compelling enough to make the hiring manager or recruiter want to call you in for an interview, so highlight your skills, education and some hints of personality. But this isn't the place to lay it on thick.
- Cover letter: This is a better place to let your personality shine. Be unique and explain how you'd be in the role or why you'd be a better choice over another person.
- Business cards: If you've chosen a specific font, color or layout in your materials to convey your brand, keep it consistent on your business card and include your contact information.
- Portfolio/personal website: Being professional is an obvious note, but learn how to be an individual and let your individuality come through by showcasing your past projects and experience in a way that highlights your talent, personality and voice.
- Online and social media profiles: Depending on your use, social media sites can be a great tool for networking and in job searches. If you choose to use social media in your job search, be sure to keep your visible materials clean and consistent with your personal branding.
Do hiring managers really notice personal branding?
Personal branding may be a great way to organize your job search and help you focus on the type of jobs you're actually interested in and qualified for, but will hiring managers actually be impressed by your personal branding efforts? "What's important for each candidate to leave me with: what are the two or three things that are truly unique about them?" says Stuart Grief, chief HR officer of Steward Health Care. "But then, in addition to that, helping me understand how those two or three or four unique things are relevant for Steward Health Care. How are they different and how does that difference apply to the job at hand?" If you're going to develop your own personal brand, make your efforts worth the trouble by always making your brand specifically applicable to the company you're interested in.
Have your personal brand advertised by CareerBuilder, with Job Seeker Spotlight
Imagine if you had a knock-out answer to one of the most common interview questions: "Can you explain why we should we should choose you over the other candidates?" You already know why you're the best pick for the job, now's your chance to show employers why that is.
Go beyond your résumé with Job Seeker Spotlight, which highlights your best qualities and increases your exposure to potential employers. To get picked for the spotlight, make sure you complete these three steps:
- Create a profile and upload your résumé to CareerBuilder.com. If you haven't done so already, click here to start.
- Answer a few questions with your most creative and compelling answers.
- Back up your claims with creative proof! Include links to professional websites, online portfolios or create a video introduction.
"Job Seeker Spotlight is meant to give people looking for a job an extra opportunity to show employers who they are beyond the résumé," Thompson explains. "We're going to feature people who take the risk to try something new to get in front of employers by being professional, creative, unique and enthusiastic about their own skills as an employee. There's no better person to sell your abilities than you and we want to give people a chance to amplify this message."

The festival organisers honoured distinguished guests, including MEC for Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture of the Eastern Cape, Xoliswa Tom; National Arts Festival Board Chairman Ayanda Mjekula; as well as Eastern Cape Premiere Noxolo Kiviet.
"The National Arts Festival becomes a significant activity for the province with regards to economic growth and job creation," Kiviet said.
For the next 11 days the small town will be mesmerised with vibrancy. This year's NAFest will put the spotlight on South Africa's dynamic nation, focusing on exploring what it means to be a citizen in a democracy still finding its feet. Due to the festival coinciding with Grahamstown's bi-centennial anniversary, themes will centre on significant moments in South African history, offering festival-goers a moment to reflect as the country's history unfolds.
Speeches were followed by a performance from the Eastern Cape Ensemble who used various forms of indigenous dance, drama, and musical performances to compliment the focus of this year's NAFest.
Special thanks was attributed to the NAFest's sponsors, including Standard Bank, The National LotteryDistribution Trust Fund, the Eastern Cape government, the National Arts Council, the Sunday Independent, City Press and Mnet.
Tom added that without these sponsors, the average adult ticket would be priced at R300 as opposed to the subsidised price of R70.

He was able to play both inside as well as outside. In the Super Bowl XXX season, he played inside with Kirkland between Lloyd and Greene. The next year, he moved outside when Lloyd was hurt and had 13 sacks as an OLB. After that, Seattle signed him away.Originally Posted by Dee Dub
Earl Holmes was solid, but he wasn't Chad Brown. He was a 4th round rookie in Brown's last season in Pittsburgh, not some stud-in-waiting.
Talent-wise, Chad Brown was like Lawrence Timmons, and Earl Holmes was like Larry Foote. Holmes and Foote were steady, but Brown and Timmons were dynamic.
If there weren't any good places for Sushi in Pittsburgh, they could have just fileted up a couple of Chad's pets for an exotic meal.Originally Posted by hawaiiansteel

The Steelers blew it by waiting a year too long to do his deal.

Hopefully, your statement is true regarding Woodley.[/quote:gw9xtogh]
But the Steelers would have paid him and locked him up at a salary that would have been good for both. See Troy Polamalu, Hines Ward, James Harrison, Ike Taylor, Casey Hampton, Ben Roethlisberger, Aaron Smith, etc., etc,
Having a contract that can have 3 years voided isn't a contract that is best for both. Think about it.[/quote:gw9xtogh]
Which one of those players did we re-up with 3 years remaining on their rookier contracts?
Ben signed his rookie contract for 6 years in 2004. He was re-upped in 2008 (2 years remaining). Troy signed a 5 year deal as a rookie (2003) and was re-upped in 2007 (1 year left).

I'm sure RB has a collection of Kristin Brown pics for us. This was all I could find.
i like Larry timmons, but these articles about choosing him would have been right if revis was available are bullchit.
we'd be regretting it big time, passing on a talent like that if both were available

How to Send a Fax from Your Mac
If your Mac has a built-in, dial-up fax modem, you don't need a dedicated fax machine. Just connect a telephone cord to the Mac's modem jack, and you can fax without printing a document and sending it through a dedicated fax machine. Instead, you send faxes directly from any program with printing capabilities.
Open the document you want to fax and choose the File command and then Print. Click the PDF button and choose Fax PDF from the pop-up menu.
A sheet, such as the one shown in the figure, appears.
In the To field, type the fax number of the person to whom you want to send the fax, including 1 and the area code. In the Modem box, select Internet Modem (or whatever) as the means for dispatching your fax.
If you want a cover page, select the Use Cover Page option and type a subject line and brief message.
If you click the pop-up menu that says Fax Information, you can choose other options to schedule the delivery of your fax or alter the layout.
Use the preview window to review the fax before sending it and then click the Fax button.
You should hear a faxing sound.

There are a host of reasons authors write books -- to tell a story, to push a message, to bolster their egos, among others. Hannah and I often are asked why we decided to write The Power of Half as the chroniclers of our foursome's journey.
So, I put the question to Joan and Joseph, and here are our family's main reasons.
1. About six months into our project, we grew increasingly aware of how our efforts to give were strengthening our family. We began to feel strongly about the benefits other families or communities could reap by joining together for a common purpose. So, we felt moved to share our story and methods. In other words, maybe we could help other families be stronger too -- and help the world a little in the process.
2. When we decided to do a "half" project, we couldn't find the stories or methods of others; we had to invent the process ourselves. As a result, we stumbled and wasted time. We wrote The Power of Half because we felt we could create a roadmap for others who wanted to pursue their own "half" projects.
3. During our journey, we met some amazing and inspiring people. The characters in our family's drama -- from John Coonrod and the entire staff of The Hunger Project to our housekeepers, Hector and Rosie -- played a vital role in our transformation. Writing the book was one way of giving shape to our gratitude to them.
4. We wanted to keep the spirit of the project alive for our family. After we had sold the house, chosen The Hunger Project as our partner, traveled to Ghana to visit the villages, and settled in to our new smaller house, there was little more of the project to do on a daily basis. Writing the book prolonged our project, and provided new ways for us to be creative together.
5. I write for a living and I think it's a pretty honorable profession. We will use the proceeds from the book to make up the shortfall between what we pledged to The Hunger Project and what our house sold for. And, of course, we'll use a chunk of the money to continue funding the organizations we believe are doing great work in our local and global communities.
Thanks for asking.

Voluntary advisory labels on packaged foods, such as "May contain traces of..." or "Manufactured in a facility which also processes nuts…" have increased recently, with one study finding these now appear on more than half of all packaged foods in Australian supermarkets. This is causing some confusion.
When allergens - such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, sesame seeds, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat, and royal jelly, as well as more than 10mg/kg of sulphites - are used as an ingredient in a food, they must be listed as an allergen on packaging (mandatory allergen labels).
However, "may contain" warnings are placed on packaging voluntarily by manufacturers to advise that there may be accidental cross-contamination of the food by allergens during processing of the food (voluntary advisory labels). For example, a chocolate bar may not contain nuts, but if made in a factory that makes other foods with nuts, there's a risk that tiny traces or even a fragment of nut may contaminate the bar.
As there is no standard wording, font or style specified, manufacturers use whatever wording they like - making the huge variety of so-called precautionary warnings confusing for consumers. (For more information on food labelling, see our food and health section.)
It's impossible to know, but Murdoch Childrens Research Institute (MCRI) in Melbourne found 90% of the top five foods at risk of contamination – chocolates, breakfast cereals, muesli bars and savoury and sweet biscuits – now carry some form of precautionary statement.
However, when tested, only seven per cent of these high-risk products with warning statements about peanuts actually had detectable levels of the nut.
Other samples that had precautionary labelling for hazelnut, milk, egg, soy or lupin had no detectable level of those allergens present at all.
More than 50% of packaged processed foods in Australian supermarkets now show these precautionary warnings - and a study by the MCRI found that people with allergies have little idea whether the food really might be contaminated, or whether the manufacturer has just put the warning on to cover against legal action if someone does get sick from cross-contamination.
The MCRI study, which included parents of children with a history of anaphylaxis, found that 80% of those parents did not know if a food with a precautionary warning is safe, irrespective of the wording.
Only five per cent felt they could "completely trust" food labels and tended to ignore warnings because they perceived them simply as a way for food manufacturers to cover themselves legally.
"We have no data on how many people who ignore labels suffer anaphylactic events, and we're planning to do a national study," says professor Katie Allen, lead researcher from MCRI in Melbourne. "At this stage we think it's more likely that the increase in anaphylactic hospitalisations is due to the increase in allergies, but the problem with the current labelling system is that the 'may contain' statements transfer the assessment of risk of contamination from manufacturers to consumers."
As result it's up to the consumer to decide, with no real information, whether to take the risk of eating a food. People with serious allergies are left with a diminished choice of products they can consume with complete confidence.
24 Mar 2009 | Australia has one of the highest allergy rates in the world, and the number of people affected is growing at an astonishing rate.

Many people see their pets as a member of their family. I saw a story on the television where a lady loved her dog so much that she had it cloned, at a cost of $50,000. This is not an article on my views of cloning, so I won't go there. I have known others to leave their inheritance to their pets. As crazy as all of this sounds, I state these things to say that your pets are obviously very important to you. If this be the case, then why not include your pet in your family's home escape plan. I am going to completely overlook the fact that you probably don't even have an escape plan for your human family, much less the pets who live there.
We train our pets for everything else; why not train them to respond to a smoke alarm? This may sound nutty, but hear me out. Animals are able to sense danger, many times before a human being can. My dog knew that something was happening, thirty seconds before the earthquake hit in Louisa. Is it worth the effort to attempt to teach your pet that an activating smoke alarm signals danger? This is for the pet that is left at home alone during the day or night. There was recently a house fire in the county that I hunt in where the only victim was the family dog. I understand that most pets left in the home are kept in their crate when no one is there, making escape impossible for these pets.
My next thought is, have you included your pets in your practiced home escape plan? Just as babies, small children and the elderly will need assistance out of your home in the event of a fire, so will your pets. Someone should already be assigned to getting the baby when a fire occurs. Why not assign someone to get your dog, cat, gerbil or python, whatever your pet may be? In the heat of a fire, you will perform like you practice. If there is no practice, humans and pets are in jeopardy of injury or death. With practice, the chance of survival increases exponentially.
You only have one chance to get this right. Once you have exited the building, you must not go back in for any reason. When people are injured or killed in residential fires, it is sometimes found that they either were delayed in attempting to escape, or re-entered the building for a person, pet or possession. Whatever the case, these injuries or deaths could be prevented or minimized by preplanning what you will do. If you consider pets to be a part of your family, then you must include them in the planning.
Most people leave pets to fend for themselves, only to lose their pets in residential fires. A lot has changed over the years. Fire units now carry oxygen administration devices for pets who have been overcome by smoke. I was involved in a number of situations where we took pets who were overcome by smoke to veterinary hospitals. I was also involved in cases where public outcry caused our department to expend great resource to rescue someone's pet or even a wild creature. This brings me back to my initial point; if your pet is important to you, then do your part to include them in your escape when your house catches fire.
