Additional Information:
Growing Information
CULTURE: First-rate crops grow quickly in light or loamy soils with a pH over 6.0. In general, cool temperatures produce the best flesh color. Acute weather fluctuations will cause "zoning", white rings, in the roots.
TRANSPLANTING: Sow seed in a cold frame or indoors in early spring, about 5-6 weeks before transplanting out after heavy frosts become infrequent. Sow seeds 1/2" deep, 3-4 seeds per inch. Transplant out 3" apart in rows 12-18" apart.
DIRECT SEEDING: Begin early sowings when soil has warmed to 45°F 7°C. Sow 15 seeds/ft. 1/2" deep, rows 12-18" apart. Thinning is not necessary. For a continuous supply of greens and small tender beets, sow seed at 2-week intervals until 8 weeks before regular heavy frosts are expected.
DISEASES: Keep beets well irrigated to prevent "scab", the same disorder that affects potatoes, causing raised brown rough spots on the mature roots. Internal breakdown or browning is most likely to occur in alkaline soils after prolonged hot, dry periods. This is caused by a deficiency of the nutrient boron. Rotate crops to prevent Cercospora leaf spot.
HARVEST AND STORAGE: Fork or undermine, lift plants, wash and hydrocool, and store bunches 10 days at 32°F/0°C and 95% relative humidity.
WINTER STORAGE OF ROOTS: Sow about 10 weeks before heavy freeze is expected. Cut tops, wash, and store 6 months at 32°F (0°C) and 95% humidity.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding; subtract 14-21 days if transplants are used.
AVG. SEEDING RATE: 1M sows 66', 5M/ 333', 436M/acre @15 seeds/ft. and 18" between rows.
SIZED SEEDS: Standard except where noted.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: 17,000-40,000 (avg. 35,000).
PACKET: 350 seeds sows 23'.

The root and stem bark contain the medicinally active components of barberry. The barberry bush also produces small red berries. Although this particular species is native to Europe, it now also grows throughout North America. A closely related species, Oregon grape (Berberis aquifolium), is native to North America.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
Traditionally, in European and American herbalism, barberry was used to treat a large number of conditions, particularly infections and stomach problems.1 It has also been used internally to treat skin conditions.

By Polly Keary, Editor
A state audit of Valley General Hospital's 2011 books found that in that year, the hospital was in serious financial trouble, made costly bookkeeping mistakes, and was not careful enough to keep funds secure.
The audit resulted in the most serious outcome the state auditor's office gives; that of a finding.
"We have three levels of reporting. An exit item is verbal; a management letter is more significant – we put that in writing; and a finding is significant enough that we put it in writing and publish it," said Matt Miller of the Auditor's Office.
Last week, new Valley General CEO Eric Jensen talked about the auditor's findings, and what steps the hospital will take to improve.
In 2011, the upper management of the hospital was in considerable disarray, consisting of a large number of temporary or recently-hired managers.
Since 2009, there have been a total of five CEOs, beginning with Mark Judy, who left in March of that year. He was followed by an interim CEO, and then by Mike Liepman, who came on board in 2009. At the time of the audit, Liepman had been CEO for about a year and half. He is currently the CEO of Skagit Valley Hospital in Mount Vernon.
He was followed by Interim CEO Michael Fraser, and Jensen took over Jan. 31 of this year.
There have also been three chief financial officers in that time, and four chief nursing officers.
At the time of the audit, the business office manager had been laid off the prior year, and the position was vacant for most of a year.
The audit checked for compliance with state laws and for financial responsibility and stability.
The findings were serious.
The district showed a net loss of $3.4 million that year, and only enough cash-on-hand to cover operating costs for 24 days.
The hospital dropped a couple of its money-losing services, including the birth center and inpatient psychiatry, but it wasn't enough, the state found.
Below are the state's findings, and Valley General's response.
The hospital didn't bill patients in a timely way, didn't have a way to make sure patient receivables could be collected, didn't maintain adequate documentation to support adjustments to patient accounts, and didn't adequately segregate duties, meaning one employee was able to receive and deposit payment and also process adjustments on accounts. In all, the district wrote off nearly half a million dollars because patients weren't billed in a timely manner and didn't monitor past-due accounts well enough.
The numbers there actually reflect several years' worth of patient accounts, said Jensen.
"A new business office manager came in, and they initiated a clean-up of old patients accounts from 2003-2010," he said.
Hospitals have complex billing, he said, with each insurance company having its own rules about payment.
"We fight with insurance companies about if they have paid or should have paid, and there were lot of old unresolved accounts," said Jensen. "They did collect money on some of them. Most of the accounts were from 2009 and 2010, for insurance and self-pay, and they all got written off at the same time."
A new billing procedure was put in place in 2011, Jensen added.
"New management has been hired for the hospital billing function and staff has received extensive training in billing and follow-up procedures," the hospital reported. "Performance expectations have been established and progress is regularly measured. The Patient Financial Services Manager monitors accounts receivable aging on a regular basis."
The district didn't provide credit card receipts to show the purpose of expenditures on multiple transactions; made payments late, racking up $1,441 in financing and late charges in a year; paid $6,500 for turkeys without maintaining a receipt to show the public purpose of the purchase; paid $9,300 for a banquet, including $1,400 in alcohol, which district policy doesn't allow; and gave $3,700 in sponsorships but couldn't show how they benefitted the district. It also gave away $1,328 in employee recognition, exceeding the district's policy.
The credit cards in question were gas cards, Jensen said.
"That process has been tightened up," he said. Now there are detailed logs in use, the hospital reported.
And the hospital once delayed credit card payments as a means of keeping within the budget, he said. That practice has been stopped, he added.
As for the turkeys, they were employee recognition gifts given out at the holidays, he said. The problem was that the employee recognition policy hadn't been modified to allow for the gifts. The same was true for other employee recognition gifts.
The banquet wasn't actually paid for by the hospital, Jensen said. Rather, the specialists with privileges to practice at the hospital have their own group, and they pay dues into it. They used those dues to pay for a banquet. But the dues had been held by the hospital, and deposited into the hospital account.
"These were intended to be private funds of the medical staff," said Jensen. "They should have been deposited in a separate account than the hospital, but because they were included in the hospital bank account, the auditors considered them hospital funds."
The hospital made a mistake handling the money, he said, but the banquet didn't cost the hospital any money.
Jensen said, had he been on site during the audit, he might have argued about the sponsorships.
The state has strict laws about how taxpayer-supported hospitals can advertise. They can't, for example, sponsor a little league team in exchange for their name on the dugout.
"We have to advertise a specific hospital service, we can't sponsor events for name recognition," Jensen said. "People here didn't know that."
The hospital had a booth at Kla-Ha-Ya Days in Snohomish in 2011, giving free blood pressure checks and handing out brochures.
The auditor didn't see that as an allowed form of sponsorship.
"I would have argued it," said Jensen. But the hospital has started developing a policy about sponsorships.
And the hospital has segregated duties so that the same person doesn't handle both payment adjustments and deposits.
Because the hospital didn't keep adequate records of when raises were given, the hospital overpaid three employees $5,900.
And the audit found that the hospital hadn't made payments into the employee retirement funds in 2011.
Response: In fact, the hospital employees union had agreed not to take an employer match to the retirement plans that year, said Jensen. And the hospital still has time before the retirement contributions are due in October of this year, he said.
In addition to responding to each of the items mentioned in the finding, the hospital also addressed concerns over its overall financial stability.
According to the hospital, the hiring of permanent department heads will cut the cost of expensive interims and will stabilize the management staff. A turnaround plan is in the works, and will soon be presented to the board. The three unions have made concessions in wages and benefits for 2013. Those concessions also apply to non-represented staff. A labor productivity monitoring system will be put in place this year.
The district is looking for ways to use the affiliation with Evergreen to cut costs, including buying in bulk, resourcing relationships with Evergreen's business contacts and more.
New primary care doctors from Evergreen are expected to bring more patient referrals to Valley General. One doctor is already in practice with a nurse practitioner and a physician's assistant, and another will come this summer, and Evergreen specialists are expected to reduce the number of patients who need to go elsewhere for care.
"We appreciate the steps the District is taking to address this issue. We will review the condition during our next audit," the auditor responded.
Because of the seriousness of the finding, there will be another audit next year.

South Central is an American comedy-drama series that aired on the Fox network from April 5, 1994 to June 7, 1994. It was cancelled following its first season, with the airing of only 10 episodes.
The series was set in South Central Los Angeles, and dealt with the lives of an African American family, the Moseleys, and issues such as gang violence, drugs, dating, sex, school, and unemployment. Joan Moseley (Tina Lifford) is a divorced mother, raising three children with no assistance from her ex-husband. Her oldest son Marcus having been murdered years earlier by a gang member, Joan's financial situation becomes complicated after she is laid off. Her remaining children include Andre (Larenz Tate), Tasha (Tasha Scott), and foster son Deion Carter (Keith Mbulo). Rounding out the cast of characters are Joan's friend "Sweets" (Paula Kelly) and Andre's mentor Dr. Ray McHenry (Ken Page).
South Central featured many guest stars including Jennifer Lopez, Shar Jackson, and Maia Campbell. The series, which was produced on a smaller budget than most sitcoms, was popular among critics for what was perceived as a realistic and sometimes dark portrayal of urban life.[1]
The show aired on Tuesday evenings following Roc. Due to the decline in ratings of the entire night of programming, Fox cancelled all the shows on that night (which also included The Sinbad Show and In Living Color)[2] and created the Tuesday Night movie. The cancellation of the series, all of which had predominately black casts, prompted Jesse Jackson to call for a boycott of the network for perceived institutional racism.[3] Fox maintained that the series were low rated and the decision to cancel was not racially motivated.[4]
Series creator Ralph Farquhar would later co-create the UPN sitcom Moesha, along with Sara V. Finney and Vida Spears. The series (a more traditional sitcom) was set in Leimert Park, a middle-class neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles. Lamont Bentley and Shar Jackson were members of the cast.

Episode list[edit]
Series # | Season # | Prod. code | Title | Notes | Original air date |
1 | 1 | 1S79 | Pilot | Joan objects when Andre purchases a beeper. Although he insists that he needs it to keep his social life in order, Joan believes the beeper will make him a target for drug dealers or gang members. She orders him to get rid of it. Joan finds herself out of work after a series of layoffs by the school district. | April 5, 1994 |
2 | 2 | 1S01 | "Money" | Embarrassed by the prospect of going on welfare, Andre takes a loan from a gangster who was friends with his older brother, Marcus. Joan is furious, as she fears that Andre is becoming involved with the same activities that led to his brother's death. She returns the money to the young man, and is outraged when he says that he thought of Marcus as family. She blames Marcus's gang lifestyle for his death, and declares that his fellow gang members cannot possibly understand the Moselys' pain. Joan is also disturbed by the fact that the man's mother is proud of him for hustling and dealing drugs. The woman doesn't care where her son gets the money, as long as he provides for her. | April 12, 1994 |
3 | 3 | 1S02 | "RTD" | After Andre brings home a terrible report card, Joan orders him to attend a session with his mentor, Ray. Andre goes against his mother's wishes by taking the bus (RTD) to Ray's office. Andre and Rashad have a confrontation with a gang member, who tries to steal their radio. Rashad jumps out the window, but the guy pulls a gun on Andre. The gunman's friend recognizes Andre as Marcus's brother and defuses the situation. Andre becomes smitten with Ray's secretary, a smart and wealthy girl named Nicole. He decides to go to church with Ray that Sunday in the hopes of seeing her again. While riding the bus, Andre has a run-in with the same guy, who beats him and steals his basketball shoes. When Andre shows up for church with a black eye and no shoes, Nicole's parents conclude that he is a thug and forbid her from seeing him. Nicole and Andre spend hours talking on the phone. | April 19, 1994 |
4 | 4 | 1S03 | "CO-op" | While working as a cashier at the local co-op market, Joan appears in a television news segment about black-owned businesses. Bobby, her boss, publicly declares himself a hero for providing employment to a down-on-her-luck woman who had been forced to go on food stamps. Joan is completely humiliated, and lights into Bobby for sharing her business with the whole city. Bobby insists that he simply wanted to generate good publicity for the co-op, but later apologizes for his insensitivity. Isaiah comes to the store and tries to take back the items Ujamaa is stocked with but Bobby talks him out of it. Tasha is distressed that she cannot attend track meets or hang out with her friends because she must watch Deion every day. He refuses to obey her, and begins to scream and physically attack her at one point. When Tasha takes Deion to a therapy session, his psychiatrist senses her frustration and gives her a chance to get some things off her chest. Tasha is happy when Deion reaches out to her, if only momentarily. | May 3, 1994 |
5 | 5 | 1S04 | "Men" | Joan and Isaiah meet up again at the co-op, and have a much more pleasant encounter than their first meeting. Sweets invites him to a party, and Tasha later catches them kissing. Andre is enraged. He had encouraged Ray to ask her out, and believes his mother should give him a chance. Joan declares that she and Ray are only friends, and orders Andre to mind his own business. However, she tells Isaiah that she cannot get into a serious relationship because her life is already too complicated. Andre sneaks out of the house to see Nicole. | May 10, 1994 |
6 | 6 | 1S05 | "Dad" | Tasha is overjoyed when her father, James, unexpectedly shows up for her 14th birthday party; but her mother and brother are less than thrilled. Despite Nicole's pleas, Andre refuses to behave civilly toward his father. Andre confronts a group of gang members who try to crash the party. He is furious when James comes off as the hero by defusing the situation peacefully. Andre tells him off and starts a shoving match. After James criticizes Joan's parenting skills (and suggests that she might be responsible for Marcus's death), she screams at him and throws him out of the party. Tasha follows her father and spends the rest of the day with him. Andre discovers some surprising information; although he had assumed that James abandoned the family, Joan actually ended the marriage. When Tasha returns, Joan tells her that she doesn't have to turn her back on her father, but could show her mother some appreciation. | May 17, 1994 |
7 | 7 | 1S06 | "Gun" (Part 1) | Nicole and Andre continue to see each other behind her parents' backs. Tired of being pushed around and threatened, Andre begins carrying a gun in the hopes of gaining respect around the neighborhood. Although Andre tries to hide it in the upper reaches of his closet, Deion quickly finds out about the weapon. To be continued... | May 24, 1994 |
8 | 8 | 1S07 | "Gun" (Part 2)" | Andre pulls his gun on a boy who bumps into him at a party. A mortified Nicole decides that her parents were right about Andre. She breaks up with him. Andre insists on accompanying Nicole on the bus to ensure that she makes it home safely. She refuses to say a word to him for the entire ride. | May 24, 1994 |
9 | 9 | 1S08 | "Dog" | Deion becomes enchanted with a stray dog that begins hanging around the house. The usually emotionless boy smiles, laughs and imitates the dog. Joan fears that the dog has health problems and orders the kids to get rid of it. Andre and Tasha try to follow their mother's instructions, but Deion throws a fit. Andre gets into a fist fight with Rashad after he catches him making out with Tasha's friend Janelle in the Mosely house. The commotion upsets the dog, which bites Janelle. Meanwhile, Andre still can't get Nicole to give him the time of day. The co-op has a "black dollar day." | May 31, 1994 |
10 | 10 | 1S09 | "Date" | In the hopes of having the house to herself for a date, Joan sends Deion to Disneyland with Sweets. She also pushes Tasha to go to a teen social night with Andre. Andre ignores Tasha when he and Rashad hook up with two older women, but she quickly makes friends at the gathering. Andre is stunned when he returns to the party to see Tasha performing onstage with the musical guest. | June 7, 1994 |

Ian Anderson has unveiled the dates for his upcoming U.S. tour, an eight-and-a-half week trek that starts September 12 in Seattle and wraps up November 10 in Montclair, N.J. The U.S. shows will follow a European run that starts April 28 in the U.K., all promoting the Jethro Tull founder's new solo album, "Homo Erraticus." Anderson tells us that he has a few surprises planned for the shows, too:
"It's a production tour with the new album in the first half, a 20-minute intermission, then we go back and play a selection of the best of Jethro Tull's sort of classic songs and a few that...I think I can remember in the case of each of them, we played them probably once, maybe on one tour or maybe just a couple of times...but not, certainly not in the last 40 years or so. So it's kind of interesting to find three songs I've always discounted doing again...because these three pieces are quite well-known pieces by Jethro Tull, just things that have been left out of the live repertoire before." "Homo Erraticus" came out Tuesday (April 15) and is Anderson's third "collaboration" with the fictional Gerald Bostock, a character he first introduced on 1972's "Thick as a Brick" and returned to for 2012's "Thick as a Brick 2."

Under Strong Leadership
A Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game spotlight |
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game | Published 01 June 2011 |
Back in March, we announced the upcoming release of the Legends Expansion for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game. This deluxe expansion introduces an exciting card type that works as part of an all-new mechanic: Legends. A Legend card represents one of a faction's most influential heroes, leaders, and villains; the placement of such of card in your play area affects every zone you control, as it lends its individual strengths to your forces as a whole. Now, the Legends Expansion will be on store shelves in just a few days!
We've already seen a handful of Legends, including Archaon, Karl Franz, and Kairos Fateweaver. And we've even seen some of the other cards bringing new units and strategies to all six factions, including Armed to da Teef and Oozing Eye. But what about cards that interact with legends?
Inspired by Order
Several units in this expansion gain benefits if you control one of these icons of leadership and power. The Dwarf Thunderer, for example, is a disciplined master of the secrets of gunpowder, and the inspiration he receives from strong leadership takes the form of additional Toughness. Other Order units that benefit from legends include the High Elves' Ellyrian Knights and the Empire's Black Guards.
Skilled riders atop some of the finest horses in Ellyrion, the Ellyrian Knights are a deadly weapon in the Pheonix King's arsenal. But with a legend commanding their movements, these young nobles become deadlier still; their Counterstrike ability helps ensure that attacks against Ulthuan meet a swift response. Finally, the Empire's Black Guard is an elite group of knights dedicated to the defense of the Emperor. Keeping with their faction's affinity for zone control, these highly trained riders have the mobility to defend multiple zones when properly directed.
Look for the Legends Expansion for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game on store shelves very soon, and keep checking back for more!
Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game is a card game by Eric M. Lang in which 2 players develop their kingdoms and lay waste to their foes. Each side is comprised of either the forces of Order or the forces of Destruction as they seek to extend their empire to include the entire Old World. The Living Card Game format allows players to customize their gaming experience with monthly Battle Pack expansions to the core game.
What's wrong with the black guard? unlike warriors of Ulric, you don't have to move the card out of the zone it is currently in.
I agree the art looks great
All three completely useless. When you can afford legent, you won't ever play this kind of cards...
They should probably be a bit more powerful...~what a 4-cost dwarf unit with toughness? I have never seen one of those? :)
A better way to make these usefull would have been to keep their abilities, make them unconditional, and make them cost less if you had a Legend in play. Something along the lines of, "this unit cost's two fewer resources if you control a Legend". Then it would have been worth it.
each of these shown cards will look pretty cool in my card holder, nowhere else. All useless
Love all the art on the new cards.
Wow, those are some total coasters. A 1/3 that can defend anywhere?! If only I didn't have to control a Legend! Oh, wait, there's a Warriors of Ulric right here in my binder that can do that already and can move when I attack if I feel like it. And my deck based around 4-cost Dwarf units with toughness and conditional abilities is really going to love Dwarf Thunderer. Usually when it lost it was because my opponent was finally able to bring down all of my Son of Grungis and Daemonslayers.

Now I need an opinion on the Sigma 10-20mm. I'm looking at getting the Canon 10-22mm. However, to save some money I've also looked at the Sigma 10-20mm to save a couple hundred bucks. Any opinon on this lens?

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 JOEY2!
Facts about JOEY2
- Breed: Cocker Spaniel
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
JOEY2's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Sweet Joey is an affectionate 3-year old copper-ish/red 25 lb. cocker spaniel. His photos do not reflect all the loving sweetness Joey has to offer. He is house trained and will use a dog door. He loves to go for walks and very good on a leash. He is also good and enjoys riding in the car. He rarely barks and gets along well with calm dogs, but reportedly chases cats. He will retrieve a ball and likes stuffed animals. When he gets bored, he will eat the squeakers out. Joey gets so excited when you return home, that he will jump on you until he is acknowledged. A small city could be powered with the energy generated by his happy tail-stub.
Joey is shy until he gets to know you and then is a friendly and loving companion.
Strangers need to wait until Joey approaches them, or he will run away. After someone is deemed acceptable he is friendly and sweet. In Joey's world, children are loud and fast moving and frankly, they scare him. Many noises scare him – vacuums, hair dryers, pots and pans, and even loud sneezes. He will run to the other room and peek around the corner until the coast is clear. He also gets anxious when normal routines change.
Joey is a dainty, non-aggressive, non-obsessive eater. If other dogs eat quickly, Joey may need his own space to eat. The only aggressive bone in Joey's body is reserved for rawhides. He will growl and snap if you take one away.
Joey is a loving, affectionate companion for a caring, patient family with a calm household and consistent routines. His previous owner had to give Joey and his canine and feline siblings up for adoption during recent financial difficulties. If you'd like an extra dose of canine loving, contact ACSR to meet Joey. Joey-2's adoption fee is $300. You can see more photos of Joey2 on our website: www.acsrwa.org -- Photos courtesy of Gail Storrs -- www.viewpointsphoto.com
Other Pets at American Cocker Spaniel Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
JOEY2, a Tacoma Cocker Spaniel dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cocker Spaniel for sale in Tacoma, or seeking a Cocker Spaniel dog from a breeder in Tacoma.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tacoma 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 Tacoma 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 Cocker Spaniel breeders who help with Cocker Spaniel rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tacoma paves the way for another one to be saved.

フィンランドはまた、自然が厳しいことで有名でもあります。 夏は地元の人がwhite night 、いわゆる白夜と呼ぶ、夜まで陽が輝く現象が見られます。北部フィンランドでは太陽が6月の初旬から8月の初旬まで、二ヶ月以上も地平線の上に見られます。この時期に暗く長い冬に向けて太陽のエネルギーを貯めておくのです。文字通り、フィンランドの夏は一年で一番輝く季節なのです。
こういったパーティは子供禁制、当日のベビーシッターの予約は何ヵ月も前に済ませます。 そして当日は食べて飲んで歌って、夏としばらくのお別れをします。
スモークサーモンとドライトマトのパスタは、そのあとの食事をさらに豊かにする味で、 サフラン風味のムール貝は、一年間固い殻を割っていない指にはよい練習になります。

Today we celebrate our 95 years old, independent fatherland. Old and young gather together to salute the war veterans in a torchlight procession. The cathedral of Helsinki is an unusually popular spot today, when the president and the first lady attend the independence day mass.
At 6 pm every household lights 2 candles at window so that they are visible from outside, therefore it's also a perfect time to go for a walk. At night the number 1 ball is held in the president's castle, live coverage is shown on the national TV. But anywhere you go, you'll end up in a celebration, tonight is one big cocktail-party.

The temperature has finally dropped below zero, and snow is painting the landscape pure white. TALVI, the winter has officially reached Finland, and we love it! This marks also the beginning of the cinnamon and ginger -season; cookie baking, mulled wine tastings and cosy gatherings.

Apples have been in season already since the summer ended, and will hold their lead the until the end of the year. The colorful fruits remind of the autumn, but red apples belong also to our traditional christmas, along with dried fruits and nuts.
This year the harvest has been plentiful. Trees have carried more fruits than the owners can pick and store, and apples have been handed out for free. Right now the apple flavor is on everyone's tongue!
3 dl plain (all purpose) flour
1/2 dl brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
150 g cold butter
1-2 tablespoons cold water
apple filling:
2 dl dark brown sugar (e.g. muscovado)
2 tablespoons cognac or brandy
1 vanilla pod, split
8 apples, pealed, cored and quartered
2 dl double cream
70 g ground walnuts
2 teaspoons sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Process the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a food processor to combine. Add the butter, pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add then enough water to bring the dough together. Turn out onto a floured baking surface and form into a ball. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
Place the dark sugar and cognac in a sauce pan over a low heat, stir to dissolve. Add the apples and vanilla pod, increase the heat. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until apples are just soft, not mushy. Remove the apples from the syrup and let cool, discard the vanilla bean.
Whisk the cream to a foamy whipped cream, add the cooled syrup and refrigerate.
Divide the pastry in half and roll each piece into a rough 3 mm thick circle. Line the base of an 18 cm pie dish with pastry. Spread the ground walnuts over the base and arrange the apples on top. Brush the tart edges with a little water. Cover the apples with the pastry lid, press the edges firmly together with a fork. Brush the top with water and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. With a fork, pierce tiny holes into the pastry. Bake for 40-50 minutes until golden brown. Serve with vanilla cream.
1 kg apples
1/2 kg sugar (preferably jam sugar with pectine, but if it's not available, caster sugar will do)
1/2 vanilla pod, split
juice of 1 lemon
1 dl water
Sterilize the jars and lids on boiling water for at least 5 minutes.
Peel, core and shop apples. Bring sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and water to boil in a large pot. Add apples, let simmer until apples are softened.
Pour the apple jam into hot, sterilized jars, close the lids and let cool. Store in refrigerator.
The latest joy for the Finnish cider drinkers is called "HAPPY JOE". The old fashioned looking bottles of local apple cider bring a smile on one's face, even before the first sip. The bottles are like fortune cookies, each cap hides a wisdom of happiness underneath. Like: "Smile happily and let the whole world wonder why", "Some pursue happiness, others create it", or "Happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything".
The sympathetic cloudy cider is a refreshing drink, but makes also a perfect autumn- marinade for any kind of meet or poultry.
2 egg whites
1 dl apple puree (or strained apple jam)
sugar according to your taste
you also need soufflé ramekins (or ovenproof teacups), butter and sugar to coat the ramekins
Butter ramekins lightly and sprinkle with sugar, coating them completely.
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
Wisk the egg whites to glossy and stiff foam, but not too dry, do not over do. Add first one-quarter of the egg whites into the apple puree. Add then the remaining egg whites (and sugar, if desired), and fold gently until blended.
Divide the batter among the ramekins, filling them until nearly full. Tap the base of each rameking on the work surface to ensure there are no air pickets. Level the surface of each soufflé by pulling a back edge of a large knife across the top or the dish. Whipe any drops of the outside away, otherwise they will burn, for sure. Run your thumbnail around the inside edge of each ramekin to make a groove (that helps the soufflés to rice evenly).
Bake the soufflés for about 15 minutes, until they puff out. Drop the temperature down to 180 degrees Celsius, once you put the ramekins into the oven. Serve straight away with vanilla ice cream.
100 g butter, room temperature
1 dl caster sugar
2 eggs
1/4 dl milk
2-2 1/2 dl plain (all purpose) flour (the amount varies depending how fluid the apple puree is)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1 dl crumbled walnuts
1 dl apple puree
175 g sliced almonds
Beat butter and sugar, with an electric mixer, until fluffy. Beat in eggs and milk. Mix baking powder with flour, and add the flour-mixture into the bowl. Beat until just combined. Fold in the walnuts and apple puree.
Divide batter evenly among lined muffin cups, fill each three-quarters full. Sprinkle tops with sliced almonds. Bake in a 200 degrees Celsius oven until cake tester inserted into centres comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.
8 apples
1-2 dl caster sugar (depending on how sour apples are)
1 dl water
1/2 vanilla bean, split
sweet shortcrust pastry:
225 g plain (all purpose) flour
150 g chilled butter + extra for buttering the pie tin
3 egg yolks
1-2 tablespoons cold water
Peal, core and halve apples. Bring sugar and water to boil, reduce heat and let simmer over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Add apples and cook until apples start to soften and caramelize.
Place the flour and butter in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. With the motor still running, add egg yolks and process until combined. Add water and process until the dough comes together.
Butter the oven proof pie tin, arrange apples on the bottom, then cover with the dough. Bake in 200 degrees Celsius oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the surface turns golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Who says kids don't eat apples any more ?!
These rotten ones, filled with candy-worms, disappear from the halloween setting the second you turn your back.

Berry season is the most perfect reason to goof around in forest. Wild berries are now in season, but so are the cultivated ones, too. Not everyone long for the country life, but everyone love fresh berries! The city slickers harvest their share at market squares. Berry picking, berry cleaning and preserving the nature's organic treats keep the Scandinavians extremely busy right now. Like bears, we fill our stocks for the long winter.
Grannie's 100 years old recipe
1 kg strawberries
1/2 kg granulated sugar
a drop of water
Clean the strawberries, pile berries and sugar into the saucepan, let stand overnight in the fridge (or if you're in a hurry, just 1 hour in the room temperature will do). Add a drop of water and boil strawberries in a medium heat 5-10 minutes, skim foam. Shake the saucepan, and pour the jam into hot class jars. Close the lids and let cool in room temperature. Store in the fridge.
2 kg srtawberries
1 kg jam sugar
1 dl water
Put strawberries in a saucepan, add 1 dl water. Bring to boil, add the jam sugar gradually, constantly stirring. Turn down the heat to medium as soon as it starts to boil. Let boil in a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the stove, let the jam cool in room temperature, until the berries no longer pop up to the surface. Pour the jam into hot class jars, close lids and let cool in a room temperature. Store in refrigerator.
Jam sugar, gelling sugar, jelly sugar or sugar with pectin is a kind of sugar which is used to produce preserves. It contains pectin as a gelling agent and citric acid as a preservative. In the old days jam was made with regular sugar, but nowadays we prefer jam sugar, or if it's not available, you can use a mixture of regular sugar, lemon juice and pectin instead. But, always use at least granulated white sugar to make your jam, do not substitute with artificial sweetener, as it prevents the jam from setting. The real sugar, even without pectin, helps the jam set and also acts as a natural preservative.
Wild forest strawberries are tiny in size but huge in flavor.
melt your favorite chocolate, dip the fresh strawberries in the chocolate, place on wire racks to set. Store in the fridge until serving.
1 banana
500 g fresh strawberries
8 sheets of gelatine
2 1/2 dl granulated sugar
4 dl non-alcoholic pear cider
you also need plastic wrap and a container with a lid
Line a container with plastic wrap, clean and cut the strawberries, peal and cut the banana. Place berry and fruit pieces in the bottom of the container.
Soak the gelatin in cold water, heat 1 dl of cider in a saucepan, squeeze water out of the softened gelatine sheet, mix it with the hot cider until dissolved. Then add the rest of the cider (room temperature), mix and pour over the strawberries and bananas.
Set the lid on and let the cake set in a refrigerator for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
Open the lid, turn the cake upside down and peal off the plastic wrap.
NOTE: if you have any left over gelatin-cider, DO NOT pour it into drain ! Wait until its's set and scrape the jelly into garbage.
mascarpone cheese
vanilla sugar
granulated sugar
dash of lime juice
whipped cream
Digestive cookies
all sorted fresh fruits
Season the mascarpone cheese with sugars and lime juice according to your taste. Mix whipped cream with mascarpone. Crumble the cookies, pile cookie-crumble, mascarpone-cream and berries in layers. Top with berries.
For take away-picnic treat, build your berry dessert in a class jar.
Finnish cherries are quite bitter, often too bitter to be eaten fresh, but boiling with sugar turns them into delicious jam.
If you don't have a cherry pitter, halve the cherries and remove the stones
1 kg pitted cherries
500g jam sugar (or 500 g granulated sugar plus added pectin according to manufacture's instructions)
2 tbsp cognac or cherry brandy (optional)
Put the cherries and 1 dl of water in a saucepan and bring to boil. Cook in a medium heat about 15 minutes, add the jam sugar gradually. Bring to boil and let simmer for another 15 minutes, skim the foam. Add cognac and mix. Remove saucepan from the stove, let cool for about half an hour (until cherries no longer pop up to the surface). Pour jam into hot jars, adjust caps and let cool in a room temperature. Store in fridge.
IF YOU USE GRANULATED SUGAR AND PECTIN instead of jam sugar:
Combine cherries, 1-2 dl water, and pectin in a saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring constantly,skim foam and cook until cherries are as tender as desired. Add sugar and bring to boil, cook for 1 minute, skim foam, add cognac and pour hot into jars. Adjust caps and let cool in a room temperature, but store cherry jam in a refrigerator.
5 dl red currants
1 egg white
200 g granulated sugar
Cake decorating could not be easier. Wash the berries and tap dry. Beat the egg white for a while, dip berries in egg white, on at a time, then roll in sugar. Let dry in a room temperature.
1 1/2 l cleaned red currants
5 dl water
3 dl sugar
Put the washed red currants in a saucepan, pour water so much that the berried are barely covered. Bring to boil and cook in a medium heat 10-15 minutes, until the color of the berries start to fade. Sieve the juice, add sugar, bring to boil and skim the foam. Bottle the juice in hot bottles, let cool in a room temperature. Store in refrigerator.
white rum
fresh berries
granulated sugar
Pour 3 dl of rum into a class jar, weigh the berries and add equal amount of sugar. Add rum to cover all berries. Store in refrigerator and let stand for 3 months.

Join Us Next Spring in Washington, DC! February 26 - March 1, 2015
Just Medicine, formerly known as the PharmFree Campaign, continues to reflect AMSA's values, ambitions and goals in putting patients above profits and ensuring the most objective, evidence-based, affordable healthcare for patients.
Our vision for the practice of medicine is that it is simply based on evidence, not marketing, personal gain, or any interest other than that of the patient.
We seek to facilitate student engagement in work that promotes patient-centered, evidence-based clinical practice, medical education and research.
Participate in a webinar presentation of the expanded 2014 AMSA Scorecard for US Medical School and Teaching Hospital COI Policies. Engage with members of the Scorecard research team, medical school faculty and students, and patient advocates as they discuss the findings of the 2014 AMSA Scorecard, the expansion to include US teaching hospitals, and the critical importance of strengthening COI policies across the spectrum of medical student education and resident physician training.
The AMSA Scorecard: A Tool for Accountability, Education, and Advocacy
When: Monday, September 29, 2014, 8:00pm – 9:00pm EDT
Featuring Daniel Carlat, MD, Director, Prescription Project, The Pew Charitable Trusts Shantrice Appleby, AMSA Just Medicine Fellow William Jordan, MD, MPH, Co-Director of Medical Student Education in the Department of Family and Social Medicine at Montefiore/Einstein, and President-Elect of the National Physicians Alliance Wells Wilkinson, JD, Staff Attorney and Senior Policy Analyst, Community Catalyst Tina Musa, Co-Chair, AMSA Just Medicine Campaign, Medical Student at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine
COMPREHENSIVE CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST POLICIES: Just Medicine helps students advocate for, develop, and implement strong industry-relations policies at their academic medical centers. Our annual Just Medicine Scorecard evaluates and grades the conflict-of-interest policies at every US medical school in a variety of domains. Visit www.amsascorecard.org for more information
LEGISLATIVE SOLUTIONS: Just Medicine lobbies for legislation at the state and federal level that increases the transparency of industry relationships, reduces conflicts of interest, promotes evidence-based practice, and increases global access to essential medicines.
GLOBAL ACCESS: Just Medicine seeks to educate medical students on the the issue of access to medicines. Specifically, AMSA seeks to connect the market-driven practices of pharmaceutical companies to both domestic issues (conflicts of interest, marketing) and global issues (access to medicines, neglected disease research).
JUST MEDICINE CURRICULA: Just Medicine has developed a Model Just Medicine Curriculum for teaching about drug development, marketing and conflict of interest. Just Medicine is also currently developing resources to assist faculty and staff looking to make these changes at their schools, including a menu of ready-made lectures/slides and other materials, as well as a list of faculty across the country who are willing to consult on curricular development.

The Mac Hardware Report: About those Audio Jacks!
September 24th, 2009In talking with David Biedny for an episode of The Tech Night Owl LIVE, I came to realize that he had twice encountered a hardware issue similar to one I've faced. That's the ease with which the audio input or output jack on a Mac notebook can break.
Here's what I mean: My 2006 17-inch MacBook Pro developed a defective input jack a little over a year after it was purchased. Evidently something was stuck inside, no doubt a broken pin, but I couldn't see it, and the local jeweler who inspected it as a favor wasn't able to locate the cause of the problem. Since the unit was out of warranty, I wasn't optimistic about getting it repaired, but since I planned to sell it in a few months, I decided to, as they say, take the hit.
As I recall, the price of replacing a daughtercard plus labor came to over $200. The third-party Apple reseller's service manager told me that some units that exhibited the same problem actually required replacement of the main logic board, which would have cost far more.
I chalked this experience up to just one of those things until I interviewed David for this week's episode. He told me it had happened twice to him. First on an aluminum PowerBook G4 and then on a 15-inch MacBook Pro of the same vintage as mine. He decided not to pay what he regarded as an excessive amount of money for that repair, and is using an old USB audio interface to handle the input and output chores.
David is a practical fellow, although he might want to consider other options should he decide to eventually sell his notebook. However the larger issue here is whether we're both unlucky, equally careless or whether the design is sufficiently flimsy to allow for such damage to occur.
I'm not about to make a choice there. But I am concerned why it's so expensive to replace a part that probably costs less than $1.00. The answer is, of course, that service people these days simply are not trained nor inclined to do component level repair. Rather than remove the offending part and replacing it with the good one, it's more convenient to simply run a diagnostic to see what's wrong, and swap the offending printed circuit card.
Now in fairness to the techs, when you're working with miniaturized components in very close surroundings, it's easy to make a mistake and cause other problems that may not reveal themselves until the repaired machine is back in the hands of the owner. Granted that makes an awful lot of sense. Besides, the replacement circuit board, which is generally refurbished, has been fully tested at the factory to meet the manufacturer's specs. When someone is replacing an individual part by hand, who does the quality control, and would you pay for a second tech to examine the work performed by the first? There may be a supervisor or quality control person on hand in a larger repair facility, but not at an Apple Store or regular third-party repair shop.
Besides, consider the profit margins when a dealer can sell you the full circuit card rather than the individual part.
Now there's nothing to stop you from doing your own repairs if you are adept at the process, have the proper tools, and can find the parts you need. I wouldn't presume to discourage you, just so long as you know the risks, a mistake that may take down not just the card you're repairing but other parts on the computer.
As much as I'd like to see a bank of techs making these simple repairs, it's just not practical anymore. The world of consumer electronics is far too complicated. Besides, when something real serious goes wrong, the manufacturer and the dealer would no doubt prefer that you just buy the newest model instead.
You almost feel that way when it comes to an iPod, where just cracking open the case might, literally, crack it. Sure there are plenty of how-to documents online to ease you through the process. There are also repair shops that can replace the broken parts for you. Apple, however, will usually just exchange the broken unit with a refurbished model and return it to you, and then rebuild the older product on their own time and simply send it to someone else. Or, if it's badly damaged, just recycle the working parts.
Of course, the real question here is all about design efficiency and reliability. As David reminds me, he's never seen a bad audio jack on an iPod, and I can say the same for the various models I've used, nor the three iPhones I've owned since the product was originally introduced.
This doesn't mean that such problems don't occur. Certainly a media player or smartphone will probably get lots more use and abuse than a notebook computer over its lifetime. The headphone plug might be pulled out and inserted far more often, thus creating the potential for failure. But our limited experience indicates it's happening on our notebooks. Maybe the modern unibody models are superior in that regard, or maybe not. Maybe we're just unlucky, and there's no problem at all with Apple's audio jacks. What do you readers have to say on the subject?

I do not think stocky has anything to do with it, you can have hot guys any shape or size that are either hot or not. For example, a couple season of BB USA Russell was stocky and fucken one of the hottest guy ever on the show ( did not hurt he was bald and wild crazy dude) Then you have Base Ball players like Russell Martin that plays for the Yankess..WOWOWOWO. Then you have your cute NFL punters Yummm
When I go "there" - i'm takin him wit me !! -- OMG -- it's difficult to verbalize much with what's going on in my pants right now !
"Do that to me one more time, once is never enough with a man like you!"
I love stocky guys! Too bad the best ones always end up straight...
^^ True. You don't find many stocky gays.

Zombies, Run! is one of the most inventive games to have been released for smartphones in recent time: a fitness app that encourages players to run with a storyline based on slavering zombies chasing them.
Developer Six to Start says the app has sold more than 300k copies on iOS, Android and Windows Phone – impressive considering it's a paid app that's never been cheaper than $1.99. Now it's getting an episodic 'second season'.
Pocket Gamer has the details: "The entire Zombies, Run! community will be able to experience the story together, with all the discussion, analysis, and speculation (and official podcasts) that comes with it," says the developer.
The second season – interesting use of TV lingo there – will be delivered as an update to the first game, with seven missions available for free, and 50+ more available through in-app purchases.
According to the article, iOS will get the second season first, but Six to Start is working to ensure Android is close behind.
The developer co-created Zombies, Run! with author Naomi Alderman, raising just under $73k on crowdfunding site Kickstarter back in October 2011 to make it. It thus sits in a fascinating spot between games, fitness apps and fiction, now with TV-style episodic content being added into the mix.

Lip Glaze is a moderately thick, smooth lip gloss with a minimally sticky finish and a glaze-like shine. It's packaged in a click-pen component with a built-in brush applicator and the brush itself is nicely cut to fit the contours of the mouth. Lip Glaze is one of Stila's best-selling products, and numerous shades are available, ranging from translucent with shimmer to glossy reds and berry tones.
Makeup artist Jeanine Lobell has been at the helm of Stila since its inception in 1994, and her creations have an impressive history of blending innovation with eye-catching, fun packaging. Of course, this innovation is not without its price, and you will find some rather ordinary products where the packaging or dispensing method is the only thing that's exciting. Where Lobell struck gold is with her superlative collection of foundations. We've examined hundreds of makeup lines for this and previous editions of this book, and Stila has had and continues to maintain one of the best collections of truly neutral foundation colors. For anyone confused about what we mean by "neutral tones," you need look no further, though we are pleased that more mainstream lines (including L'Oreal, Revlon, Clinique, and even Cover Girl) are now creating wonderfully neutral foundation colors. Stila's foundations aren't inexpensive, but it's critical to get a foundation that's right for you, and that may mean splurging. Other stellar categories include concealers, blush, eyeshadows, brushes, and much better mascaras than in years past.
Once an independent brand with a first-to-market approach to clever cardboard packaging that was sleek, urban, and utilitarian at the same time, Stila's presence and product lineup and distribution expanded (with mostly favorable results) when it was acquired by Estee Lauder in 1999. It was a bit perplexing when Lauder announced in late 2005 that it would sell Stila to "optimize our portfolio of brands" and put more attention (read: financial resources) into their M.A.C. and Bobbi Brown brands (Source: The Rose Sheet, April 17, 2006, page 4). Ironically, of those three brands, Stila has the most compelling collection of products. M.A.C. and Bobbi Brown are no slouches, but Stila always had a slight edge, at least in the complexion-enhancing categories.
An affiliate of Sun Capital Partners (naming itself Stila Corporation) bought the brand from Lauder in spring 2006 and has been at the helm since. Lauder's no longer owning Stila led to the brand's hasty exit from department stores, a move that left many shoppers wondering what the heck happened (and, at least in the stores we visited, the sales associates were vague about the line's future). Luckily, Stila still has a home in Sephora stores worldwide, and is randomly distributed in select department stores. That's great news, because there is much to love about this line, and the most recent crop of products proves that Stila has every intention of remaining a competitive player in the compelling game that is the cosmetics industry.

I' ve had non- sticky glosses I don't like how they feel. I usually buy these in a trio. So to me these are a good deal. They smell great and are attractive in appearance. I always thought the packaging was cool. How they clicked. But, you have to turn slowly otherwise, you'll waste too much product and it you won't be able to reverse the wasted product.
I agree with Amy about the sticky texture. As Sabine noted there are two distinct camps re: gloss. I got a 9 piece holiday set - LOVED the colors and they looked wonderful. Just could not get past the texture :-( Great colors, set was great value, just be aware that these are of the thicker variety. Also, had a tingle effect - almost mint sensation (not flavor). Sadly will have to return.
Stila's lip glaze is my go-to lip gloss! Note there are two camps when it comes to lip gloss: those who like the thicker (sometimes referred to as "sticky") finish, and those who prefer a lighter, dryer silicone-based finish. I prefer the heavier kind as my lips tend to dry and peel. The kind that Paula prefers seems to just sit on top of my lips without moisturizing, exacerbating the dryness. Stila offers a wide range of semi-sheer colors that all flatter to my fair-to-medium skin tone.
I disagree with the Beautypedia review of Stila Lip Glazes. I bought the holiday set last Christmas and am very disappointed. The package is nice and I like the click-pen style to dispense the product onto the brush. But, I find these lip glosses very sticky. They are thick, gooey and practically glue my lips to each other. The colors are nice and some have good opacity (if you want that). However, the gloppy texture feels terrible on the lips. I cannot recommend this product.

Rustic elegance
Posted By Lisa On November 16, 2012 @ 2:02 pm In general craftiness,polka dot cottage | 2 Comments
The last time I went from really long hair to really short hair, I bought myself a pair of earrings on Etsy to celebrate my new look. They were made of oxidized copper findings and turquoise beads, and I loved them. I loved them so much, that last year I decided it would be fun to make myself a few more similar pairs with some freshwater pearls I had been saving.
I picked up some great rustic copper components on Etsy, and put together a few pairs. This white one is my favorite, and I wear it all. the. time.
Actually, I should clarify that: These particular earrings are a copy of those favorites. I misplaced the originals last weekend. {pout} Luckily I still had all of the pieces in my stash, so I made this new identical pair last night! At least, I think they're identical. I can't entirely remember how I made that original pair, but these are close enough to make me happy.
The combination of the oxidized copper with the expensive pearls delivers such an appealing contrast. Don't you agree? I took a gamble that we might, perhaps, be in agreement on this point, and I used up the rest of my copper findings and some of my precious coin pearls to make another several pairs for you.
There are a few different varieties available, based on the copper pieces I had left. I don't plan to custom-make these, but if you like what I have already made, I hope you'll place an order. They're ready to ship. If enough of them sell, I'll buy more copper parts and whip up some more, in new configurations. (I do hope you'll give me an excuse to do that – it sounds like fun.)
Have a fabulous weekend, my friends!

I was following a link of Eric's to a site elucidating the dangers of Pokeweed which was apparently removed, but backtracked it and found this--thought some of you might find it interesting. The link has links to a page on urban herbs, etc.
-------------------------- Department of Physiology & Biophysics
Complementary and Alternative Medicine Track
Site revised 7/15/2007
The first program of its kind, the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Program places Georgetown University at the forefront of graduate education in this field. We believe this educational initiative will serve both the public interest in complementary and alternative medicine, and the need for greater scientific research into these areas. Features of this program include: An excellent science-based MS curriculum that may be completed in 11 months
In August 2005, the Georgetown University School of Medicine (GUSOM) launched a 5-year MD/MS track, with the CAM MS followed by the 4-year medical curriculum. Another totally unique experience, this innovative program is the first to accomplish the national initiative to integrate the critical scientific evaluation of CAM modalities and CAM research with conventional medical education. Admission to the joint MD/MS program is through the GUSOM.
The CAM MS in Physiology is designed for students who fit into any of several categories in terms of background and eventual career placement: Those interested in a research career (often with further training at the doctoral level) in a CAM-related area
Those who wish to have a strong understanding of CAM modalities while pursuing a career in medicine
Bachelor's degree from an accredited university
Recent CAM-related publications by students and faculty Applications are now being accepted for Fall, 2009 (Class of 2010). Application deadline is June 1, 2009.
Here is a link that might be useful: Georgetown University Page
Follow-Up Postings:
"this innovative program is the first to accomplish the national initiative to integrate the critical scientific evaluation of CAM modalities and CAM research with conventional medical education." Evidence-based? Complementary (not antagonistic to) conventional medicine? Sounds promising. |
eibren, Thanks for the info. This sounds like The US might finally come into the 21st century like europe. Yes!!!!!! |
Maybe. I hope those attending a course like that don't think that makes their knowledge greater than that of a qualified, practicing, traditionally trained herbalist. My sense is that modern herbalists have the traditional training plus an awareness of modern chemical investigations. |
Another very hopeful development is that Aviva Romm, who has been a stalwart force in getting Herbalist certification standards up to par, is completing her degree at Yale as an MD. She has been the head of the American Herbalist Guild, and a good guide there, but in getting her MD from Yale, will be a great voice of future integretive medicine. Also, Mother of four children: yep, can we say WOW to someone who is really devoted to decent medicine? |
Sounds like a name to remember. It may very well become a household word. |

The Art Of Immersion
The Art Of Immersion - How The Digital Generation is Remaking Hollywood, Madison Avenue and the Way We Tell Stories is totally a book for Neptune In Pisces…
"…After centuries of linear storytelling, we are witnessing the emergence of a new form of narrative that's native to the Internet. Told through many media at once in a nonlinear fashion, these new narratives encourage us not merely to watch but to participate, often engaging us in the same way that games do. This is "deep media": stories that are not just entertaining but immersive…"
Everything is blurring…In fact, i really want to CALL Neptune In Pisces The Art Of Immersion. Wouldn't it be fantastic? And then what could we call Uranus in Aries? The Science of Individuation?

Welcome to East Baltimore Church of God
The greatest question asked in the Scriptures is found in Acts 16:30. Asked by a Philippian jailer who was assigned to watch over the Apostle Paul and his companion Silas, after they were arrested for preaching the gospel. His question was direct and to the point, "What must I do to be saved?" Paul replied, "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved and thy house." The question now is directed to those of you visiting this website. "Are you saved?" I would like to encourage you to pray and ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and be your Lord. If you are ready to take this step with God please say this prayer... "Lord Jesus, I believe that you died to pay for my sins. I want you to be my Lord. Please come into my heart so that I may follow you. Amen!"
Please contact us at 410-327-0177. We would love to share in your experience and lead you further in your faith. Come worship with us at 800 Oldham St. Balto., MD. 21224.

I wish I would have had more time to spend with the candidates for this roundup because there were several titles I wanted to look at and just didn't get the chance to fire up. I certainly had a blast with many of the titles I did get to try, though, especially Vampire Ventures. This match 3 game has just about everything you could want from the genre, and my only problem was forcing myself to stop playing the game. If you're more of a strategy buff you really should check out Combat Monsters. This combination of collectable card game and turn based tactical strategy has a lot going for it, and you can dive in for free. On the other hand, those desiring some good old fashioned arcade action need look no further than Ricochet: Retro Space Shooter. This combination of Galaga, Missile Command and Breakout is not quite like anything I've played before on my iOS device.

The business of engineering
Why have you chosen a technical career in radio? I think most of us in radio had our start with a different focus than we have today. At some point, being on-air was probably the big draw. It was for me. My original plan was to work in production and on-air, and then I realized that I knew how to maintain and install the equipment I was using. This was a skill no one else had. I was still able to feed my creative on-air and production interests, but I found my real interest in the technical side.
As an engineer, you likely have a passion for solving problems. You see a challenge, identify possible solutions, formulate a strategy and get the job done. But while most engineers have excellent troubleshooting skills, many do not have the best business skills. I was fortunate to work with several engineers and managers who taught me to understand the value of my skills.
I recently observed an engineer completely devalue his skills by volunteering to develop a communications system for a commercial entity. The company has its own IT department, and it was creating a new system to serve its needs. For the company, this was a new endeavor. For the engineer, this was a task he had completed many times before. The engineer saw a problem and wanted to provide a solution. That's being proactive. Unfortunately, the engineer stopped short. He evaluated the problem and formulated a solution, but he did not consider his own value in the solution. His knowledge and skill have value. He was able to provide a service to a commercial entity. Instead of submitting a business proposal, he volunteered to fix the problem.
His business proposal may have been rejected, but that's a choice the business operator can make. It's frustrating for most engineers to watch a problem go unfixed, especially when we know we can correct it, but it's smart business to understand your own value.
Anything free has no value in the end. It's been my experience that services performed for a fair price have a greater value in the end. Being fairly compensated also avoids the repeated asking of favors to get the job done. To borrow the phrase from a phone book company, it's nothing personal, it's just business.
I often hear engineers and technicians lament that they are underpaid. Using the scenario above, it's not surprising. Good engineers are not always good businessmen. However, new skills can be acquired and honed.
Be somebody
In addition to my career work, I work in several volunteer positions. In both cases, there's a phrase I often hear that can often lead to automatic failure. During a discussion of a problem or goal, I'll hear someone say, "You know, somebody should …"
This is usually followed by a general agreement with the idea. Yes, somebody should do that. This is a tipping point for success or failure.
At that point, if no one takes the responsibility, the idea languishes on the table and often dies. An effective leader can eliminate this by assigning the task to someone, but this doesn't always happen. It may not be the fault of the leader. It's easy to assume that the person suggesting the plan is the one who will execute it.
But why leave that to random chance? The next time you hear someone suggest "somebody should," step up and be somebody. Don't leave it at somebody should. Make it happen that somebody will.
