I am a stay-at-home mom after 20 years of full-time working. I am really enjoying playing in the kitchen now that I have the time and am not rushed. I have a 13 yr old son and a 10 yr old daughter who keep my busy and always smiling!
I love pastas and potatoes!
I am a huge fan of Japanese Steakhouses! I could eat there every week!
Chilis, casseroles, etc are a family favorite - I guess they're kid pleasers lol.

Gajic O, Afessa B, Hanson AC, Krpata T, Yilmax M, Mohamed SF, et al. Effect of 24-hour mandatory versus on-demand critical care specialist presence on quality of care and family and provider satisfaction in the intensive care unit of a teaching hospital. Critical Care Medicine 2008;36:36-44.
Jeremy M. Kahn, MD MSc
Division of Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care; Center for Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics; Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia PA
Observational evidence suggests that staffing the intensive care unit (ICU) with a trained intensivist is associated with improved outcomes in critical care [1-3]. Under an intensivist staffing model, the intensivist is typically present in the ICU during daylight hours. Whether or not additional benefit can be achieved by extending the intensivist presence to 24 hours is unknown.
Gajic and colleagues performed a prospective cohort study of 24-hour intensivist coverage in the medical ICU of an large academic hospital. During the study period the ICU staffing model changed from a closed model with daytime intensivist coverage and night-time coverage provided by housestaff and fellow-level trainees to a model identical to first but with the addition of an in-house staff intensivist from 7 PM to 7 AM. The researchers compared risk-adjusted mortality, risk-adjusted length of stay, adherence to evidence-based practice, and ICU complications before and after the organizational change. They also used two validated survey instruments to examine the effect of night-time intensivist staffing on patient, family and staff satisfaction.
Patient characteristics were similar before and after addition of night-time intensivist staffing. After the change, there was slightly greater adherence to guidelines for stress ulcer prophylaxis (100% vs. 98%, p=0.002) and deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis (94% vs. 91%, p=0.38). Night-time staffing was also associated with increased use of a standardized order set for severe sepsis (82% vs. 71%) and lung protective ventilation for acute lung injury (81% vs. 72%), although these findings did not achieve statistical significance. ICU complications were rare in both time periods. When taken as a composite, the incidence of complications was reduced after the change (11% vs. 7%, p=0.02). When complications were examined separately, only clinically significant bleeding was significantly reduced (2.2% vs. 0.8%, p=0.05).
After controlling for potential confounders, there was a significant reduction in hospital length of stay (adjusted mean difference -1.4 days, 95% confidence interval -0.3 days to -2.5 days) but no differences ICU length of stay, ICU mortality, or in-hospital mortality. Approximately half of eligible staff members and family members returned the satisfaction survey. Among staff respondents, the addition of a night-time intensivist was associated with increased provider satisfaction, mostly due to perceived benefits to patient care. There was no difference in patient or family satisfaction between time periods.
The addition of a night-time intensivist to an academic medical ICU staffed with day-time intensivists and trainees at night was associated with increased use of select evidence-based practices and a modest reduction in the incidence of ICU complications. There was no measurable effect on patient-centered outcomes such as mortality or family satisfaction. Staff satisfaction increased, primarily due to a perception that the new staffing model was provided more optimal patient care.
This is the first study to formally evaluate 24-hour on-site intensivist staffing in the ICU. Daytime intensivist coverage is associated with improved patient outcomes in most clinical settings. The authors add to this literature by studying the role of in-house intensivist staffing at night. Major strengths of the study include careful determination of ICU complications and guideline adherence, use of a validated risk-adjustment tool to compare mortality and length of stay between study periods, and recognition that staff and family satisfaction are important outcomes in critical care.
There are some limitations of this study, mostly inherent to the study design. The authors used a before-after design, sometimes known as a time-series trial. Time-series trials are frequently used to evaluate organizational change in health care—whenever an major change is planned it is relatively simple to measure outcomes before and after the change. Indeed, the vast majority of studies evaluating intensivist physician staffing employ a before-after design [2]. There are several major threats to the validity of this type of study, including temporal trends and regression towards the mean. Temporal trends in outcomes are common in the ICU—the effects of quality improvement initiatives and new care protocols might be continue for months or years after they are instituted. It is possible that the observed reductions in ICU complications and improvements in evidence-based practice in this study might have occurred regardless of the staffing change. Regression towards the mean is an insidious problem that arises as part of random variation inherent to natural systems. Regression towards the mean dictates that whenever outcomes worsen they are likely to improve in the next observable time period. Because the authors only studied two time periods, it is impossible to say how much of the variation in this study is due to temporal trends or the regression towards the mean. Alternative study designs such as cluster-randomized trials can overcome some of these potential biases but are time-consuming and expensive to conduct.
It is worth noting that this study was performed in a single academic medical ICU with a reputation for high quality care. Consequently, it is difficult to generalize these results outside the academic setting or to other types of ICUs. The "before" arm of the study was already a very high intensity of care—intensivists were present in the ICU during the day, were available by page at night, and residents and fellows were present at all times. Only a small minority of ICUs in the United States have achieved this level of staffing [4]. It is possible that ICUs with less optimal staffing at baseline would observe a different, perhaps stronger, effect. Finally, night-time intensivist staffing could have an impact on adverse drug events or procedural complications, neither of which were measured in this study.
From these data we can conclude that the addition of a night-time intensivist almost certainly does not worsen outcomes and may be associated with improvements in the process of care. However, the improvements were small and inconsistent, possibly due to the high quality of care prior to adopting the night-time staffing model. Other types of hospitals, particularly those with no physicians in the ICU at night, might observe a greater effect. Whether or not 24-hour intensivist staffing represents a cost-effective use of resources remains to be seen. Trained intensivists are expensive, and it is possible that the same effects could be achieved using less expensive hospitalists or non-physician providers. It is also possible that a greater benefit could be achieved by directing these resources elsewhere in the hospital.
It is likely that night-time intensivist staffing is not feasible for most hospitals at this time. Detailed workforce analyses suggest that there are not enough intensivists to meet current demand, and a small minority of ICUs currently have intensivist staffing of any type [5]. Hospitals struggling to adopt a mandatory consult or fully closed model are unlikely to be actively considering 24-hour intensivist converge. Instead, these results apply to a small number of academic hospitals with both sufficient resources and available staff.
The data on physician staffing in the ICU are in a state of continual evolution. Telemedicine, hospitalist-driven care, and non-physician providers all offer ways to extend the benefits of an intensivist to more patients at more times [6-8]. This work contributes to the literature by demonstrating that 24-hours intensivist staffing may be beneficial in some settings. Future work will need to address effectiveness outside academic hospitals, cost-effectiveness, and feasibility given the current workforce.

I went about my kitchen remodel a little bit backward. When I first moved in I painted the cabinets white, installed a soapstone countertop, did a new backsplash, etc. I'm happy with all these changes except the cabinet doors which are somewhat outdated. The cabinet boxes are in great shape. Just starting to think/plan about replacing the doors. Has anyone done it successfully? Can you explain the process, who did it, and do you have any pictures? Thanks! |

We did it in the guest room bath when we gutted it a few years ago. We had previously had a double vanity custom built for the room in oak. The vanity is nearly 7' and it just didn't make sense to replace it when the boxes, frames and drawers were perfect. But I have never been fond of oak so I took the opportunity to have the vanity refaced. I was a little skeptical of the process since I had never seen it done and so many of the TV ads seem to make the finished product look cheap. But our contractor had done it many times and assured us that we would like it. He also took us to one of the kitchens that he had refaced and it looked great. The contractor gave me a catalog of doors and drawer fronts and I chose the style and type of wood that I wanted. He removed the doors and drawer fronts and then meticulously refaced the front of the cabinet frames with a thin veneer of wood, screwed the new drawers fronts on and installed the doors. It's been over 5 years and it still looks like new. I was also a little worried that the veneer might loosen due to the higher humidity in the bath but that hasn't happened it. I am really very happy - it completely changed the look of the bath and reusing the existing vanity saved me big bucks. |
Thanks to both of you and ilene, fabulous makeover! I hope to hear from others, but at least I know now it is within the realm of possibility. |

We did the same in our primary residence. Evidently it was fashionable to make kitchen cabinet doors from living room paneling in the 70's, haha. The boxes were in good shape and the layout works. We painted the boxes and installed new doors. Also had 2 of the bath cabinets refaced. |
My builder's grade golden oak cabs were in decent shape and I liked the layout (still do). I had a tight budget to work with, so I got new doors and drawer fronts and had everything painted white. I didn't know enough at the time about replacing lower cabinets with drawers (nor did my KD suggest it). With my eyes closed, it's essentially the same kitchen. :) I went to a local KD who suggested the process and ordered the new parts for me. That wasn't expensive at all. Everything was painted professionally, in the shop and on-site. A GC installed the doors. Before: After: |
We are getting new doors for our cabinets and having the existing boxes painted antique white. |
Linelle- I meant to say that I really like your kitchen. It looks really nice. |
We had the clear coat on our maple cabinets stripped, modified some of the existing cabinets to drawers, and had some new cabinets built from scratch. We got new doors and drawer fronts for everything and had them all stained to match. A local cabinet maker did the modifications, built the 4 new cabinets and ordered the doors/drawer fronts. We ended up installing the doors and hardware, but originally it was in the contract for him to do it. |
Just wondering about costs for such a project. I have a 33" cabinet where the box and drawers are fine. I just want new doors to match some other new cabinets in our house. They are frameless cabinets with slab doors so refacing probably isn't crucial as you wouldn't see the maple frame. I am just interested in replacing the doors (and maybe the toekick) |
Ladies, what an advertisement for kitchen refacing. I'm impressed. Excellent looks all around! |

We had our contractor bid on replacing all the cabinets in the kitchen. The size of our appliances required some construction to be done. The bid seemed high, so we got bids for refacing + some construction. Those bids were ridiculously higher, and we opted for brand new cabinets. I think refacing is a great option if your new ovens and cook top fit, but if any construction is needed, be prepared to spend a lot more money than you would for brand new cabinets. Just my experience, and I think all the refacing photos shown look great!! Suzi |
laura, my entire kitchen redo (minus the new fridge) was $20K. The only DIY was painting the walls/ceiling and making the valance. The new doors and drawer fronts were surprisingly budget-friendly, Decora paint-grade maple full overlay with MDF insets. Total for that was just over $1K. Having all the cabs professionally painted wasn't inexpensive. You don't mention if you're going with painted or stained. |

Marita, I too did it backwards and now I'm getting conflicting reports and a wide range of prices to remove and reinstall my granite so I can get new cabinets. As much as I want to change to Stained maple I won't spend the $ to,risk my granite. Cheapest option is to upgrade my existing thermo foil to nice painted white wood. A new backsplash will make a big difference also. I also,considered refacing to,wood, but that charge is too much $. Linelle, How did you find someone to paint the cabinets and what was that charge? I am going to have doors built for me by my brother, but I dread painting them. The materials are surprisingly inexpensive. We intend to install,them ourselves and hopefully convert 2 to drawers. I see you did some construction and got new counters. Where did the bulk of your budget go? |
All this information is helpful. Thanks so much! Part of our cabinets are not installed yet. We have a 33" lower and upper in a mudroom area along with a bench. All our kitchen cabinets are rift oak and I was trying to save a little money by doing these last cabinets paint grade maple with a different cabinet maker, but it is proving penny wise pound foolish. The cabinets are made, but they are not painted. I thinking I should be able to simply keep the boxes and then ask the original cabinet maker to make new doors to match the kitchen and probably edge band as well. Fingers crossed that I can at least salvage the boxes! |
cindy, the cabinet painter was recommended by my KD. That part cost $4375 and they threw in new shelves and a pull-out cutting board (big whoop). It seemed expensive to me, but they did a fine job. Here's the breakdown: $4375 - Cabinets painted *The doors and counters were on the same invoice and I don't have the exact breakdown, but the counters were the lion's share of that amount. My kitchen is small (10x10) and I live in the SF Bay Area so that may account for higher labor prices, including counter fabrication. In another thread someone is having cab hardware angst over choices and lots of $$$. I thought that was the easiest, most budget-friendly decision I had to make (Top Knobs FTW). |
linelle- beautiful kitchen transformation! We are planning something similar as well. We currently have tile countertops that we are changing to granite. The cabinets are fine, as is the layout, so we are going to get new doors/drawer fronts. We are in the process of choosing doors now. I never realized how many details would go into this! I'm just thankful I found this forum :) |
- Posted by lazygardens (My Page) on Sat, Mar 30, 13 at 18:48
I called a local cabinetmaker and they replaced the doors and even matched the stain quite well. |
rkb21, thank you! My layout was/is just fine, even though I have three(!) blind corners. Still, only one is annoying (small plastic containers with lids, oh my). |
Just finished a kitchen "refresh". Started out with builder's grade 1980's oak and white tile. Kitchen layout was fine, just wanted to spruce up the finishes (on the cheap, of course). I originally thought it would be a little DIY project. Decided to try Rustoleum's Cabinet Transformations. Painted the cabinet boxes the Bay Leaf color. Fell in love with that color, and decided to buy some new maple raised-panel doors online since the grain pattern still showed thru. The whole kitchen (23 doors) was under $1500 including shipping! However, when it came to painting the doors I had much difficulty with the finish coat showing brush marks. Bit the bullet and hired an incredible painter who matched the color exactly with a beautiful satin-finish specifically for cabinets. It wasn't cheap ($85 per door) but so worth it. Of course after the cabinet "transformation" I just couldn't live with those white tiles and the 1/2" grout lines. Ended up with Silestone countertops (also not cheap, but so worth it!) in Tigris Sand. So my DIY project ended up costing a little under $20,000 including new sink, fridge, range hood, backsplash tile, LED lighting and all labor. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. |
Lynnski48: Your kitchen looks great! Where did you buy your doors from? We are planning something similar...removing our tile counters and replacing our cabinet doors. Thanks! |
Replaced doors and cabinet fronts. The painting was the hard part! I did it myself with doors and fronts from Barker's. Approximately 20 various size doors and 5 drawers. $1500. Picture was around Christmas, really need to get some of finished kitchen! |
krb21: I ordered the doors online from Raw Doors. www.rawdoors.net. I was very pleased with the quality. The maple was so beautiful I felt bad painting over it! |
Just finished changing the doors and drawer fronts on my 27 year old boxes and frames. Looks great, except the hard part is trying to match the stain on new wood and that on 27 year old sun tanned wood... |

Dec. 30 (Bloomberg) -- TCW Group Inc. and Jeffrey Gundlach, its former chief investment officer, said they settled a lawsuit over Gundlach's firing in 2009 and allegations he stole trade secrets to set up his own firm.
TCW and the company founded by Gundlach, DoubleLine Capital LP, "jointly announce that they have settled all claims between and among themselves as well as DoubleLine Funds Trust, Jeffrey Gundlach, and other individuals," TCW said yesterday in a statement. "The terms of the settlement are confidential and the parties will not discuss them." DoubleLine separately issued a statement confirming the agreement.
TCW, the Los Angeles-based unit of Societe Generale SA, and DoubleLine Capital LP, the asset-management firm Gundlach started within weeks after TCW fired him in 2009, In September, a jury awarded Gundlach and three other former TCW employees who had joined his firm $66.7 million in unpaid wages.
The Los Angeles jury also found that Gundlach had breached his fiduciary duty to TCW, without awarding the firm any damages. California Superior Court Judge Carl West was to decide what "reasonable royalties," if any, TCW was entitled to based on the jury's finding that Gundlach had misappropriated trade secrets.
TCW sued Gundlach, 52, in January 2010, after more than half of its fixed-income professionals joined DoubleLine. TCW said at trial that it suffered $566 million in damages.
'Through the Roof'
Gundlach, who had worked at TCW for 25 years and was named Morningstar's Fixed Income Manager of the Year in 2006, countersued, saying TCW fired him to avoid having to pay management and performance fees for the distressed-asset funds his group managed and that went "through the roof." Gundlach sought about $500 million.
``We're pleased that an agreement has been reached and that matter is now behind us,'' Peter Viles, a TCW spokesman, said. ``TCW is well positioned to continue the strong momentum and growth it has established over the past two years.''
The jury heard more than six weeks of testimony as the two sides provided conflicting views of Gundlach's falling out with TCW Chief Executive Officer Marc Stern in 2009, which ended with Stern's buying Metropolitan West Asset Management LLC to run TCW's fixed-income group and firing Gundlach in December 2009.
Stern testified that he became suspicious of Gundlach after a series of September 2009 meetings and instructed TCW's in- house lawyer to start monitoring the e-mail of Gundlach and others in his group. The investigation showed some of Gundlach's subordinates were downloading TCW's proprietary information and looking for office space, Stern said.
Gundlach denied that DoubleLine used any of TCW's proprietary software systems and data.
DoubleLine's lawyers argued that Stern started looking to replace Gundlach as early as June 2009, about the time Stern returned to active management. Gundlach and other senior managers at TCW had opposed Stern's return from retirement and wanted the firm to be run by a management committee instead.
60 Percent
Gundlach had negotiated for him and his group to receive 60 percent of the performance fees for the distressed-asset funds he set up in 2007 and 2008. The funds invested in mortgage- backed securities that were downgraded and dropped in value with the collapse of the U.S. housing market.
As the funds performed better than expected, Paris-based Societe Generale and TCW wanted to replace Gundlach with a less expensive asset manager, DoubleLine's lawyers said. TCW argued that Gundlach wasn't entitled to management and performance fees from the funds after his firing.
Societe Generale, France's second-biggest bank, is weighing whether to put TCW Group up for sale, people familiar with the matter who didn't want to be identified because it wasn't public said in November. One option was a management-led buyout of the business, said two of the people at the time.
The case is Trust Co. of the West v. Gundlach, BC429385, California Superior Court, Los Angeles County (Los Angeles).

Joey & Rosie's Info...
Hi, we are Joey & Rosie, the prom queen and the beauty pageant winner. We LOVE our mirror and nobody gets in the way, not even each other! One of us leaves an egg, but which one….can you guess? Besides our mirror, our second favorite is our food bowl. Leave something in there, we're bound to sing & dance for it. If you haven't guessed already we are a pair of non-breeding lovebirds. Take us home and see which one of us is the biggest Diva! Oh, and we come with our very own condo! Please note that we do not adoption our parrots out for breeding purposes, it is against our policies.
Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for an adoption application and adoption fee. Our adoption procedure is located on our website under the adoption & fee info tab.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Joey & Rosie, a Redlands Lovebird was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Lovebird for sale in Redlands, or seeking a Lovebird from a breeder in Redlands.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Redlands already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Redlands breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Lovebird breeders who help with Lovebird rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Redlands paves the way for another one to be saved.

Muriel's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Muriel and her two young kittens were trying to cross a super highway. A concerned woman stopped and scooped them up and brought them inside. Muriel turned out to be sweet and loveable. She may have once been someones pet, who was lost or abandoned.
Muriel is sleek and beautiful! She definitely seems to be some sort of Russian Blue mix. Gorgeous inside and out!

Twist on Tradition
An alternative to pumpkin pie that's still festive for the holidays
Lots of families have food traditions that are important to them this time of year. Whether it is our mom's stuffing recipe or Grandma's cookie dough, the recipes themselves are links to our past. They bring back memories of holidays and the people who are near and dear to us. The recipes connect us to our family roots and comfort us as we remember family gatherings.
I love the traditions in our family and also like to "mix it up" a little bit each year with some new foods or preparations. Pumpkin bread pudding with caramel sauce is just such a recipe—a change from pumpkin pie while still using a food associated with the holidays.
RECIPE: Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce
Bread pudding
2 cups half and half
1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin
1 cup (packed) plus 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 oz egg bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 10 cups)
1/2 cup golden raisins (optional)
Caramel sauce
1 1/4 cups (packed) dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup whipping cream
Powdered sugar
For bread pudding:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk half and half, pumpkin, dark brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and vanilla extract in large bowl to blend. Fold in bread cubes. Stir in golden raisins, if using. Transfer mixture to a buttered 9x13-inch baking pan. Let stand for 15 minutes. Bake pumpkin bread pudding until tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare caramel sauce:
Whisk brown sugar and butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until butter melts. Whisk in cream and stir until sugar dissolves and sauce is smooth, about 3 minutes.
Sift powdered sugar over bread pudding after removing it from the oven. Serve warm with caramel sauce.
Both the bread pudding and caramel sauce can be prepared ahead of time.

Now for the hard part
One encouraging outcome of the unveiling of the World Trade Center designs December 18 was the positive public reaction. An informal poll of friends, acquaintances, and office mates revealed a sense of excitement, wonder, and inspiration with regard to the nine schemes.
The seven teams are to be congratulated for the imagination and creativity on display. What a tribute to their intelligence, genius, and persistence! Mothers everywhere were surely inspired to advise their daughters to forget about doctors and lawyers, and to marry an architect instead.
We'll know by the end of this month which concept will form the basis of the master plan for the site. Meanwhile, debate continues over the impact of the proposals on Lower Manhattan.
New York New Visions, a coalition of 21 organizations, framed these concerns well (for their full report, go to www.newyorknewvisions.org). Hugh Hardy, FAIA, chair of the group's plan review task force, called for "balancing memorialization with commercial development." Among the issues to be resolved:
"Serious" concerns raised by the "large structures" in several proposals, including one for the world's tallest building (not again, please!);
Open space and public space needs;
Relating the superblock to the surrounding urban context;
Transportation connections and people movement around the site;
Overall plan quality: What is the overriding concept? What does it symbolize to the world about America's values? Does it provide a blueprint for future development?
One final question, from this writer: With all the attention given to New York, does anyone recall the bravery of those who steered the Pennsylvania plane away from Washington, the sacrifice of the military and civilian victims at the Pentagon, and the incredible tenacity of the Building Team that reconstructed the Pentagon ahead of schedule? Forgotten heroes already.
Order your Barbie today!
Even as the WTC proposals were being unveiled, another competition of possible interest to the profession was being held online.
Visitors to www.barbie.com have been voting for the next Barbie figure. At one point, "librarian" was ahead of "architect" by a nose, 45% to 44%, with "police officer" at a dismal 9%. (So much for 9/11 heroes.) But after news of the poll was posted on a construction industry Web site, "architect" somehow jumped to 97%.
If "architect" does hold on to win, we'll wonder: How will Barbie look in a bow tie?
Crystal Ball 2003
"Construction Forecast 2003" is our biggest ever, and still it could not contain all the trends we see for the year. A sampling:
"HIPAA" is an acronym you'll learn to love if you do any healthcare facilities;
Property/casualty premium hikes will not ease for another two years;
Hot markets: casinos, R&D labs, K-12 schools;
Deflation in selected materials costs, starting with flat glass.

Monogrammed Sugar Cookies
Add a signature touch when you give these cookies as gifts. Download our clip-art letter stencils, print on heavy paper or card stock, and cut out.
- Yield: Makes 3 dozen
Source: Martha Stewart Living, January
Make the cookies: Sift flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a bowl. Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Gradually mix in flour mixture. Divide dough in half. Flatten each half into a disk, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Let dough stand at room temperature just until soft enough to roll, about 10 minutes. Roll out each disk on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4-inch thickness, adding more flour as needed to keep dough from sticking. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut out cookies using a 3 1/2-inch round cutter, transferring to parchment-lined baking sheets as you work. Roll out scraps, and repeat once. Freeze cookies until very firm, about 15 minutes.
Bake cookies, switching positions of sheets and rotating sheets halfway through, until edges are golden, 17 to 19 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on sheets on wire racks.
Decorate the cookies: Transfer icing to a pastry bag fitted with a plain round tip. Frost cookies, leaving a border if desired. Let stand overnight to dry.
Mix together luster dust and lemon extract. Place stencil on 1 cookie, and paint with luster dust by dabbing with a small food-safe paintbrush. Repeat with remaining cookies, adding more extract as needed to keep luster loose. (You may need to make another stencil if paper gets soggy.) Let dry completely.

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. As you make your requests, plead for God's mercy upon them, and give thanks. | 1 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-- |
2 Pray this way for kings and all others who are in authority, so that we can live in peace and quietness, in godliness and dignity. | 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. |
3 This is good and pleases God our Savior, | 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, |
4 for he wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. | 4 who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. |
5 For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. | 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, |
6 He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time. | 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all men--the testimony given in its proper time. |
7 And I have been chosen -- this is the absolute truth -- as a preacher and apostle to teach the Gentiles about faith and truth. | 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles. |
8 So wherever you assemble, I want men to pray with holy hands lifted up to God, free from anger and controversy. | 8 I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing. |
9 And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. | 9 I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, |
10 For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do. | 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. |
11 Women should listen and learn quietly and submissively. | 11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. |
12 I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly. | 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. |
13 For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve. | 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. |
14 And it was the woman, not Adam, who was deceived by Satan, and sin was the result. | 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. |
15 But women will be saved through childbearing and by continuing to live in faith, love, holiness, and modesty. | 15 But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. |

Well, does anyone know, what the color of the front door means about you? Mine is grey, like around the windows, and other trim. I did a search, and couldn't find a previous post about this. Moni |
Here is a link that might be useful: top answer on google about the color of your front door
House is brick, trim is white. Front door is a nice green--sort of in the avocado line--it looks good with the outside colors and goes well with the living room when it's open (living room is a light avocado, and the fireplace bricks are a sort of pinkish red) |

White as snow. It tells a lot about me.. mainly that my soffit, fascia and window trim is white? Just playin', the whole idea sounds like a Yahoo speed by article. ;) |

I painted mine Dutch Blue and painted the shutters to match. When I bought my house the shutters were rust red and the door was white. |

Mine is a glossy black right now; it has been gray and also green over the years I've had this house. |
It's white right now, but it isn't going to stay that color. I don't know what color...haven't decided what color to paint the house. |
White. In the 22 years that I have been here since the house was built, I haven't decided on what color or gotten around to painting it yet. Hopefully it will someday get on my 'to-do' list. |

Gteen. My house is white with green trim and shutters. Funny story-we ordered our new front door from Sears, put it on the charge card. They said the charge would go thru after installation, scheduled about 2 weeks later. Door got installed,but we never got a bill from Sears. Hooray, maybe they forgot and we got a free door! Kept quiet for 2 years, then one day a Sears bill arrived-yeah, we didn't "get away with it". |

Barn red. |
plain white...we tried red and it was aweful, sigh..and i LOVE red... |
house is a soft grey, trim and front door is a shade of teal or almost turquoise. front door is flanked by panels of etched glass |
My front door is brown. It matches the motif of the rest of the house. The basic house color is brown and white to off white. The lower story brick facing is brown with off-white mortor and the chimney as well. Wood trim is white. and the roof a lighter shade of brown. |

Star Trek
Last night, with no expectations, I went and saw the new Star Trek movie.
For the most part, I do not feel motivated, either positively or negatively, to write on this movie. I left thinking that it was a good time, and more importantly with art and entertainment, I left feeling the world is a good place and values can be pursued. But this is not saying much except that the latest Star Trek flick is better than a lot of the movies that have been made recently.
Even though, I do not have much I want to say on this movie publicly, I do want to point out Scott Holleran's recent review of the film:
New 'Star Trek' Movie is Bland, Not Bold
The only issue I have with Mr. Holleran's review is his one-line throw away about the new Kirk being a playboy. I totally disagree with this. The story in this latest Star Trek movie is as Holleran wrote, "the plot is formulaic, characters are too broad, and the conflict is the stuff of cable reruns", but I loved and responded to the new Kirk. I think Chris Pine did an excellent job as James T. Kirk. Similar in a lot of ways to what Robert Downey Jr, did with his Tony Stark. Pine did not do a caricature of the larger than life character, he played it as if it was important, as if it was a reachable ideal. These ideals of Kirk, and of Stark, contain a lot of passion, a lot of exuberance, and a lot of joy which to some can come across as a negative -- as a character who is not serious, who is not deep, who is nothing more than a party hound.
But both Stark and Kirk show continuously through their actions that they are productive, love what they do, and that their partying is not an escape from effort, but a celebration of their own values and view of existence.

The Great Adventure, Berton Braley
Today, I was reminded of another one of my favorite Berton Braley poems.
What is the profit that men can find
In the frozen North or the jungle heat?
What is the vision they hold in mind
When they face the hardships that they must meet?
It cannot pay, yet they see it through
And the magic purpose that keeps them to it,
Is doing the work that they want to do
In the way that they want to do it.
It isn't money, it isn't fame,
That stirs the soul to a true adventure,
Or makes men stick to the grimmest game
In spite of ridicule, doubt and censure.
It's just the spirit that holds you true
To what you've started, and bears you through it;
It's doing the work that you want to do
In the way that you want to do it.
Oh, the weary souls who are chained by chance
To a treadmill track they must always amble,
Who never thrilled to a mad romance,
Who feared the risk of a mighty gamble.
They are the failures in life, not those
Who dreamed and struggled and risked and lost,
Who toiled and battled and baked and froze
But never flinched when the dice were tossed.
It's the thought that lifts us above the beast,
The dream that moves us to discontent,
The thing that's driven us west and east
And conquered ocean and continent;
And when we win to the heaven true
We'll find a place, when we come to view it,
Where men do work that they want to do
In the way that they want to do it!

Roubaix, France:
The American Garmin-Cervelo team scored its greatest victory on Sunday as Belgian rider Johan Van Summeren charged to victory in the mythic Paris-Roubaix classic.
The victory could not have come at a better time, as the team had struggled to live up to the expectations placed on them at the start of this season as the top classics team. But on Sunday, they used their power in numbers to overwhelm pre-race favorites like Switzerland's Fabian Cancellara, Belgium's Tom Boonen and Italy's Alessandro Ballan.
Sacrificing the chances of their own team leader, world champion Thor Hushovd, the Garmin squad changed their strategy once Van Summeren slipped into the lead breakaway after clearing the cobbles of the historic Arenberg forest, roughly 80 kilometers from the finish.
Until Friday, Van Summeren was not even certain to make the team cut due to a lingering tendonitis behind his left knee. But for team manager Jonathan Vaughters, it proved to be a wise choice.
"I dare to say I was the strongest in the break," the 30-year-old said after the race. "I got into the breakaway without any real effort and immediately felt like I had good legs. At one point I looked back and saw a lot of guys getting dropped."
Originally, Van Summeren got into the break to provide support for Hushovd later in the race. Instead, the Norwegian, spent the day holding defending champion Fabian Cancellara in check.
Cancellara, the strongest and most feared rider in the classic, told his competition to "fasten their seat belts" at the start of the race. But it was the Swiss that appeared strapped in. Though he tried desperately to chase down the leaders, he could not shake rivals Ballan or Hushovd from his wheel. Eventually he simply abandoned his efforts for the win.
"I do think Ballan and Hushovd rode against me," said Cancellara, who eventually finished second. "But the tactics changed everything. I am happy about the way I raced though. I was happy to keep my shoulders high. And I am happy for Johan. It's great for cycling. It was a great race."
As the breakaway splintered over each new section of cobbles, Van Summeren remained near the front waiting to make his move. It came as so many winning moves have before, on the epic Carrefour de l'Arbre section—a treacherous, two-kilometer section of cobblestones, just less than 20 kilometers from the finish.
"The Carrefour is the last chance anyone has to attack," says Marc Madiot, a two-time winner of the race.
Entering the section in the lead, Van Summeren then accelerated away from the remaining riders. "[Team manager Jonathan Vaughters] kept saying, 'Wait until the Carrefour. Wait until the Carrefour,'" "But Once I hit the Carrefour I just went full gas," explained Van Summeren.
"Already as a kid I understood that this was one of the best races for me. I'm not a real climber and I'm not explosive. But I can put power on the pedal."
Exiting the cobbles he had a 12-second gap on Holland's Maarten Tjallingii, a gap that only increased as he rolled towards the finish. Not even a slow-leaking flat tire in the final five kilometers could stop Van Summeren from scoring his greatest victory ever.
"I knew I didn't have time to change it," Van Summeren joked later about the flat. "But I've had some practice because sometimes in training I forget to bring a spare and have to ride home on a flat. So I've learned how to do it."
Cruising into the historic Roubaix velodrome, he had ample time to savor his victory as he cruised easily around the track, across the line and into the arms of his team staff and friends.
One of the friends waiting on the infield was his long-time girlfriend Jasmine, who soon learned that Van Summeren's victory in Paris-Roubaix was not the only surprise of the day—the euphoria from victory also inspired him to propose marriage.
"He was waiting to go up on the victory podium said, 'I have something to ask you," she said. "Will you marry me?"
But while she was surprised, she instantly accepted what is likely the first marriage proposal in Paris-Roubaix history.
Later, after receiving the cobble-stone trophy awarded to each victor of this legendary race, Van Summeren mused, "You know some guys offer a ring in marriage. Me, I give a rock."

The Localist Solution for IRS and Taxation Abuse
Submitted by nolongerperplexed on Thu, 05/16/2013 - 10:29It is of course outrageous that the IRS selectively targeted groups liable to be hostile to the administration for special scrutiny. But this is by no means the only such incident of its kind. As this article reminds us, almost all administrations since the 1970s have done something similar. The right wing media tries to convince people the problem is Obama, just as the left wing media in the 1970s tried to convince people that the problem was Nixon.
They are both wrong. The problem is not merely the man, the problem is that the very purpose the tax system was designed for is abusive. It is designed to allow for the federal government to reach its tentacles into the lives of each and every citizen to either reward them with favors or hassle and punish them. Where as most political commentary today does not even correctly describe the problem, localism provides the answer.
Consider that we have a fiat currency. Localists are opposed to fiat currency, but if a nation has one, there is no need whatsoever to tax either the income or the purchases of its citizens. They could simply print the money they needed every year. So long as the growth in the economy matched the spending, the value of the currency would not even necessarily fall any faster than ours has. Income taxes are not needed to fund the national government. They were not needed prior to 1913, when tariffs did the job, and they surely have not been needed since we severed the last link with the gold standard in the early 1970s and we could print fiat at will. We this do right now for forty cents of every federal dollar we spend.
Income taxes on individuals are not needed to fund the federal government and I contend they are not even intended to do so. Instead, the purpose of an income tax is to give the central government power over each individual citizen, so that its minions can reward who they wish and punish who they wish. Congressmen will have favors to sell with tax breaks. The executive branch can instill fear and silence people who get too far out of line. It is a tool of control rather than a necessary tool for funding the government. It is a way for them to put their finger on you.
Some people think the solution is the so-called "Fair Tax." It isn't. It would just turn the IRS from an agency which audited your income to one which audited your spending. There are other problems with it as well. For a more through deconstruction of the tax, there is the last half of this audio.
Given that taxation is necessary, and I know there are some who disagree but that is a different discussion, what system of taxation is least prone to abuse? This is particularly so in the smaller states. The Localist opinion is that California for example is too large and diverse to be run effectively from a single capital and should be split up. In localism, individuals cannot be directly taxed by the federal government, whether via income or sales taxes. Nor can corporations which do business in only one state. The Federal government can only be funded by taxes on multi-state corporations, tariffs, and contributions from the states, who would pay for their share of the excess costs.
Naturally this arrangement will hold spending down, and turn the states from lap dogs for the federal government to watch dogs over them. But the best thing about the arrangement is that individual and small business is thus shielded by the state from the federal government. The relationship between the federal government and the individual becomes much more like it was prior to 1913- they did not even know you existed unless you sought them out for something, or engaged in interstate commerce.
The astute reader may then ask what will keep state governments from abusing income tax laws or sales tax laws? Isn't it strange how even now we don't hear about the same magnitude of problems on state sales or income taxes as we do federal taxes? The truth the individual has much more power to resist abuse by state tax agencies than they do federal ones. The government officials are closer, one's elected representatives are more accessible and easier to un-elect on a budget, and most of all the magic of the market place is at work. As a last resort, you can simply leave the jurisdiction of a state which abuses its taxation system. It is much more difficult to leave a country. Basically localism lowers the transaction costs of escaping bad government, which sets the market place to work producing better government.
Changing who runs a system that is designed to mete out rewards and abuse won't stop the abuse. Nor will shifting the abuse channel from oversight of income to oversight of expenditures. The closest we can get in this imperfect world to fixing it is shielding individual citizens from taxes by the federal government and making all such taxes subject to the market place by collecting them at the state, or even local, level. That's the localist answer.

If they are not talking about the right problem....
...odds are slim we will implement the right solution, but then the puppet masters don't want it solved, they just want people to think that changing the sock puppets from red to blue and back will solve it.
Localism is for people who can still sleep at night even though somebody they don't know in a city they have never been is doing things differently. ("Localism, A Philosophy of Government" on Amazon for Kindle or Barnes and Noble ebook websites)

text: In the upscale, uptight town of Upchurch, Conn. (a fictional suburb that could be twinned with Stepford), every house is cookie-cutter perfect, every woman a trim, stay-at-home supermom raising overachieving toddlers. Or that's how it seems to mother-of-three Kate Klein, a Manhattan transplant whose imperfections make her feel like the town freak. When the most formidable of these ''terrifyingly capable-looking women'' is murdered, Kate learns that she and the victim shared a common friend. Naturally, then, it's up to her to crack the case. Jennifer Weiner has a gift for creating funny, flawed heroines (see Good in Bed and In Her Shoes), but as a suspense writer, she's still finding her footing. The Desperate Housewives gimmick throws Goodnight Nobody off focus, robbing us of Weiner's typically razor-sharp originality.

What happened: Bryan Bennett was finally able to direct the Ducks into the end zone as Oregon finished off an impressive opener to the 2012 season.
The big play: Bennett dropped back and rifled a strike to senior receiver Rahsaan Vaughn for a score early in the quarter, breaking a long scoreless drought for the Ducks.
Momentum swing: Despite Arkansas State's push over the final three quarters, the game was more one-sided than the final score might have indicated.
Beyond the boxscore: When Ben Butterfield hauled in a reception to set up Oregon's early touchdown, he became the 14th UO receiver on the night to catch a pass.
UO—Vaughn 7 pass from Bennett (Beard kick), 11:36. Drive: 13 plays, 68 yards, 5:17.
ASU—McCants 38 pass from Aplin (Davis kick), 8:48. Drive: 7 plays, 71 yards, 2:48.
ASU—Aplin 1 run (Davis kick), 4:30. Drive: 6 plays, 75 yards, 2:06.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Liberty!
Facts about Liberty
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Tortoiseshell
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Liberty's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Liberty and her brother Hawk were rescued by a volunteer at Liberty Wildlife, hence their names.
Liberty is a dilute tortoiseshell (grey and peach) with plenty of attitude and very smart. She leads her brother into all sorts of adventures. She doesn't meet other cats, changes and people in the happiest way (hisses and sulks). Once she decides you are OK, she is sweet-natured and full of adventure. She is 4-5 months old.
Oddly enough, Liberty doesn't hiss at children that pet her. She doesn't have any children in her foster home to play with, though.
Other Pets at SOS Kitty
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Liberty, a Scottsdale Domestic Longhair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Domestic Longhair kitten from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Scottsdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

I planted my Jeminez beans, (that I generously received from a GW'r ) back in June, they grew vigorously have flowered and flowered but still no beans. Our temps here have been especially warm in the high 90s low 100s. The rattlesnake are producing great guns, bush Festina and pole Romano doing well but no Jeminez. Does this variety not like the heat? I realize fruit set on many veges is sparse to nill with temps in the high 90s but all the other beans are doing well....just wondering???? I'm really looking forward to tastig this bean.
Thanks for any input.
Follow-Up Postings:
Festina and Rattlesnake are both varieties with a reputation for heat-tolerance. Jeminez has been sold by Thompson & Morgan in the UK, on the other hand. It may need temperatures more friendly to beans. Hope you'll get some in the next few weeks. I got a few Jeminez beans this year which set in cool weather and grew in warmer weather. They were not my favorite pole bean in these conditions - other varieties seemed more refined and tender. |

Mar 1st 2012 8:50AM it was "all horde", because orcs, zombies, taurens is what really passionated writers and artists in Blizzard. it's "cool".
trolls (I know now there are many trolls instances), gnomes, elves, even goblins, draenei was all artistically full-fleshed long time after. Humans was just an enemy to the cool Orcs.
I still think cataclysm shows blizzard really really wanted to sell, write, draw, play the stories of noble corrupted orcs and tragic dark zombies.
by the time of wc3 frozen throne, something changed, Arthas, Illidan and Malfurion was well written and exploited, but still, you can see in Metzen and Samwise how much the horde was important for them.
heck, Samwise really loves his old pandaren creations, okay he couldn't put them in warcraft how much he would have loved, but at last, they're coming.
My point is : theses authors and others in Blizzard have passions, tastes, personal goals, and it shows in early wow and even now.
it's not a complaint. it's my explanation from reading their works for many years.

Mar 1st 2012 8:41AM no. It wouldn't sell me wow.
I was sold to wow because I saw gnomes in it, because I previously knew about Illidan, Thrall and the kind of story telling and art by Blizzard.
In fact, Warcraft 3 + the promise of massive dynamic rpg with people sold me Wow.
In this trailer it lacks of the charms I saw in wow, but the Tauren.
The imagery with the Tauren is what I like in wow. Generic zombies and barbarians, no.
