DALLAS, August 15, 2013 ― The British Columbia Supreme Court will hear a case this fall that may redefine the standard of care for people with disabilities. The family of Margaret Bentley, an 82 year old woman who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, is suing her nursing home, arguing that spoon feeding her constitutes battery.
If the suit is successful, it will significantly change how people with disabilities are treated, specifically in withholding and withdrawing care. Currently, the law in Canada, as well as in the United States, allows patients or their surrogates to withhold or withdraw permission to administer medical care, including medically delivered nutrition and hydration, generally termed "artificial nutrition and hydration."
Bentley's family bases their request that the Maplewood House Nursing Home stop feeding Bentley on a 1991 "Statement of Wishes" signed by the patient. The document states, "If there is no expectation for recovery from extreme disability, I request to be allowed to die."
Bentley's daughter Katherine Hammond said, "End-of-life care directives are obviously in a grey zone if health providers are misinterpreting or misapplying laws. So yes, this will be precedent-setting."
However, advanced directives generally deal with which medical interventions will be accepted or rejected. In a statement, Fraser Health official Keith McBain said health care workers are "obligated to provide the necessities of life for patients … that includes food and fluids."
Katherine Duthie, an ethical consultant hired by Fraser Health to evaluate the situation, concluded, "The risk of feeding her is minimal whereas the risk of not doing so means that death will be imminent. This death would be viewed as premature and so would constitute harm to Mrs. Bentley."
Advocates for people with disabilities worry about the precedent that would be set should spoon feeding be considered medical intervention instead of ordinary care. Canadian disabilities rights group Toujours Vivant-Not Dead Yet also believes that patients should have the right to change their minds after making advanced directives to refuse treatment.
Director Amy Hasbrouck said, "When there is a doubt, a presumption for life should be applied, because death is an irreversible step. When a person cannot communicate her wishes in any other way, her actions should be determinative as to her current wishes on the matter. Therefore, the fact that Ms. Bentley is accepting food and showing a preference demonstrates her will to live, whether it is instinctive or intentional, should be honored."
The process of starvation and dehydration can take from one to three weeks, whether the patient's food is delivered medically or not. Terri Schiavo, a disabled woman whose family's legal battle over her care made national headlines, died after almost 14 days without food and water.

Whether you own a static or touring caravan, taking out an insurance policy is the best way to protect your leisure home or vehicle from accidents, damage, loss and theft.
As a specialist insurer of caravans, Coast understands what a significant investment your caravan is and how important it is to ensure it's covered if something does go wrong. When you get a caravan insurance quote from us, we'll give you our best possible price without compromising on cover.
Our policies have been expertly designed with caravaners in mind. We offer two types of insurance cover: 'new for old', which means we'll replace your current caravan with a new one if it is so badly damaged that it is beyond repair (or not cost effective to repair it), so long as the sum insured is sufficient, and 'market value' cover, where we will pay out the monetary value of your caravan in the event of a claim rather than replacing it like for like.
New for old cover is available for static caravans up to 20 years old and touring caravans up to 10 years old, with market value cover offered for statics and tourers up to the age of 20 and 15 respectively.
Caravan Insurance Policy Benefits
The most obvious benefit of a comprehensive caravan insurance policy is financial protection; if something goes wrong, you won't face a huge repair bill. Knowing your static or touring caravan is in safe hands takes a huge weight off your shoulders, which means you can focus on enjoying your holiday time rather than worrying what will happen if you suffer an accident or damage.
Although our static and touring insurance are tailored to the unique needs of your home or vehicle, either caravan insurance policy offers fundamental cover against common risks including:
• Storm, fire and flood damage
• Theft and malicious damage
• Accidental damage
• Contents cover
• £2million public liability insurance
For static caravan owners, our tailored insurance policy has further great benefits such as protection against loss of rent and legal expenses cover – including for disputes between caravan owners and site operators. Meanwhile, our touring caravan insurance features European cover, impact protection and optional awning cover.
You can also add Motoring Legal Solutions cover to your insurance for an additional fee of £15 per year, which offers you additional legal cover against recovering uninsured losses or pursuing a personal injury claim.
Another great thing about our policies is that you can buy caravan insurance online as well as over the phone.
Types of Cover We Offer at Coast
Our caravan insurance policies cover varying types of static and touring caravan. We offer:
• Touring caravan insurance
• Fifth Wheel insurance
• Trailer tent insurance
• Folding camper insurance
• Static caravan insurance
• Mobile home insurance
Discounted Insurance Policies With Coast
There are a number of discounts you could be eligible for if you contact our sales team for caravan insurance quotes today.
Touring caravan customers can save money if they are a member of a caravan club, plus we offer reduced rates for permanently sited touring caravans.
All you need to do is give us honest and detailed information when you insure your caravan – we'll calculate what discounts you are entitled to on your behalf when we're calculating your best value premium.
Genuine Customer Reviews
Our testimonials page has some great feedback from satisfied customers – here's a taster of what some of them had to say…
"All the requirements I was looking for were met with total professionalism, courtesy and care."
"Premium was £100+ cheaper than [a competitor] and cover was equal, or better…"
"Thank you for your quick and efficient response in dealing with my claim."
Is Caravan Insurance Compulsory?
In short, caravan insurance is not mandatory for static or touring caravans, however the cost of an insurance premium is a small price to pay in comparison to the bills you could be facing if your caravan suffers an accident, damage or other tragedy.
Even if you're being supremely careful, you can't guarantee the actions of others – you could be hit by another vehicle whilst towing your tourer or a guest could spill a glass of red wine on your static caravan's new carpet. These sorts of incidents can lead to you shelling out money if you're not insured.
Rather than take that risk, opting for caravan insurance cover will give you the peace of mind you need to enjoy your holiday safe in the knowledge that your investment is fully protected.
Touring Caravan Insurance
As we said earlier, our caravan insurance policy for touring caravans has some specialist benefits designed to protect the unique needs of touring caravan owners. This includes covering your leisure vehicle abroad for up to 180 days each year, offering impact protection as part of our standard policy and repatriating your caravan to your home if the insured driver suffers an illness or injury on holiday that renders them unable to tow the 'van.
Static Caravan Insurance
Equally, our Static Caravan Insurance has been developed to provide comprehensive cover for static holiday homes. For instance, we offer frozen food cover in case an electrical problem ruins the contents of your freezer. We also provide alternative accommodation should damage to your static caravan result in it being uninhabitable.

January 2015
Joyce and Ted Strauss transformed the museum's photography collection through their involvement as patrons, collectors, curators, and passionate advocates for the medium. As collectors, Joyce and Ted cast a wide net that encompassed early masterworks as well as experimental photographs by emerging artists. Even as they focused on contemporary art, they continued to acquire important twentieth century photographs with a strong historic or conceptual relationship to more recent work.
Matisse and Friends: Selected Masterworks from the National Gallery of Art showcases 14 paintings from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., by artists Henri Matisse, André Derain, Albert Marquet, Maurice de Vlaminck, Raoul Dufy, Georges Braque, and Kees van Dongen.
Carroll Dunham's world of animated line is populated by organic shapes and cartoon-like creatures. Dunham's drawings demonstrate the artist's dexterity in thin lines, delicate shadings, aggressive smudges, and smeary black washes. This show is about the essence of drawing. At the same time, it celebrates Dunham's ability to manipulate simple materials and lines in ways that have engaged viewers for more than three decades.
The DAM will host the world-exclusive exhibition of Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century, featuring stunning jewelry, timepieces, and precious objects created between 1900 and 1975. This exhibition highlights Cartier's rise to preeminence—and the historical events pushing the Maison's, or design house's, evolution—as it transformed itself into one of the world's most prestigious names in jewelry and luxurious accessories. Organized by the DAM, the exhibition will be on view in the Anschutz and Martin and McCormick galleries on level two of the Hamilton Building.
This summer, Jason Rogenes will transform the Precourt Discovery Hall into an immersive sculptural environment where families can play with custom cast "asteroids" to create otherworldly soundscapes. Part of a rich summer program focusing on sculpture, the installation—made out of cardboard and reclaimed Styrofoam—will encourage visitors to reconsider familiar and typically discarded materials for their artmaking possibilities.
A completely new exhibition in the textile art galleries features more than 20 quilts arranged in nine thematic groupings. Each section invites viewers to look closely at the different themes and variations. Visitors can discover common roots for motifs and patterns and creative differences in materials and techniques. More than half of the objects are recent acquisitions on view for the first time, while others, including The Matterhorn quilt (pictured below), are well-known treasures of the collection.
William Matthews: Trespassing presents selected works from his early career to his most recent paintings. Matthews began working as a graphic designer, but dedicated himself to watercolor painting in 1990. The 27 artworks on view exemplify his expertise and sophisticated understanding of watercolor technique. His main focus has been subjects found in the American West: working cowboys, ranches, rural architecture, and the landscape.
Sovereign: Independent Voices highlights the work of three leading American Indian contemporary artists, Kent Monkman, Rose Simpson, and Virgil Ortiz, who have received international acclaim. These artists challenge people to think more broadly about the place of native artists in the contemporary art world through a fusion of historic techniques with contemporary styles and ideas. The included works reflect meditations on the self and native histories in a variety of media, including painting, sculptural ceramics, and multimedia works.
The 30 artworks in this exhibition reveal the versatility of lacquer as a medium used by Japanese artists to create containers, trays, plaques, braziers, and screens. A wide range of techniques are represented to demonstrate how lacquer was used during the last century to create objects of enduring beauty. The selected artworks reflect the changing styles and tastes of successive generations of lacquer artists who produced designs based on plants, animals, and other elements of nature.
Depth and Detail: Carved Bamboo from China, Japan, and Korea showcases a variety of carved, cut, incised, and etched bamboo objects. The exhibition demonstrates how artists used bamboo, carving deeply through it to achieve different colors and textures. The intricate decoration of the items on view includes religious imagery as well as people, animals, birds, insects, plants, and landscapes that tell stories or have symbolic meaning.
Rupprecht Matthies' ¿Being Home? is a community-inspired, interactive artwork that grows with each installation. In 2009 and 2011, Matthies collaborated with immigrants at Denver-area community organizations, including the African Community Center, the Emily Griffith Opportunity School, and Centro San Juan Diego, to gather words evocative of notions of home. The resulting words—transformed into mobiles, pillows, and wall pieces—are in 13 languages including English, Spanish, Arabic, and Kareni.
Experience one of the world's premier collections of Native American art. Reopened on January 30, 2011, our remodeled galleries of American Indian and Northwest Coast art focus on artists and their creations, revealing the hand and eye of each individual artist.
Nampeyo: Excellence by Name is on view in the American Indian art galleries. Nampeyo is recognized as one of the greatest ceramicists of the 20th century. This exhibition traces the full spectrum of the famed Hopi artist's career, highlighting key elements of her innovative forms and designs and the work of successive generations of her family.
Cubism was the most revolutionary and influential movement of the twentieth century. After Renaissance artists perfected the device of perspective, a painting was thought of as a window into the world. But cubist painters understood that canvases themselves were painted objects. They also rejected the idea that an object rendered with traditional perspective was any more "real" than an abstraction of that object on the flat surface.
Following nearly one year of conservation treatment, an Italian masterwork discovered in the Denver Art Museum storage is on view. Since spring 2012, we have been writing updates about behind-the-scenes discoveries and decisions related to the restoration.
During the Spanish Colonial period in Latin America (1521–1850), precious gold and silver were crafted into elegant jewelry then embellished with emeralds from Colombia, coral from Mexico, and pearls from Venezuela. Wanting to demonstrate their wealth and status, people were painted wearing their finest dress and elaborate jewelry.
This reinstallation of the Joan & George Anderman Gallery of Oceanic Art offers a glimpse at the variety of creative design and ingenious construction possible through the unique medium of bark cloth (or tapa) used across the Pacific. Techniques and styles for decorating varied from island group to island group. Painted, printed, and beaten patterns decorate supple and sometimes expansive bark cloths.
Think outside the box and experience the unique architecture of the museum's Frederic C. Hamilton Building, designed by Daniel Libeskind. Take a trip through Boettcher Canyon Walk, scout out the Bartlit Sculpture Deck, sight-see from Duncan Pavilion, and more.
Meet in the first level elevator lobby of the Hamilton Building.

"Fly Girls," the new CW reality show that follows a group of flight attendants, premiered last night, and boy was it a doozy. "The Hills" and "Real Houswives" feel scripted, but this show takes "reality" to another level of fake. The first episode did, however, introduce us to a new acronym, IFB, which stands for "in-flight boyfriend." I think even non-flight attendants can relate to daydreaming about a fellow passenger to pass the flying time. Keep reading »

Despite promises a new dance album was coming a year or so ago, George has yet to deliver a full LP since 2004's Patience, which peaked at number 12 in the United States. He did release the single "White Light" last year, but it failed to make any impact Stateside. That really isn't a big surprise though, because the last time Michael made an appearance on the Top 40 charts was back in 1996 when his infectious song "Fast Love" reached number 8.

I use this pretty often as a highlight under my brow, I have even put this on over a darker shadow, and it gives it a really pretty effect. I have also worn it alone. This color is very versatile, and I would definitely buy again.

It has a subtle gold shimmer, and comes across more offwhite than white. I use it for highlighting and for sweeping over darker color to lighten and add a bit of sparkle. It's not something I use often, but it's a fun color to experiment with and add a bit of pizazz.
I love this eyeshadow, it works perfectly as a highlight color. It wasn't overpowering for my fair skin. I got it in a try me free kit with Swing Set and Bubble Tea. I would definitely repurchase if I ran out.
This was ok. It's pure pure white, which I couldn't tell from the picture online. I prefer a pink or gold tinted highlighter, though some people want a pure white, so that's not really a negative, just a comment.
My real problem with this is how much shimmer/glitter there was... so much! There was a ton of fallout and it didn't have much staying power either.

Floating Feathers barely showed up on me and when I layered it was too white looking. I'll save this one to mix with body lotion for a shimmer effect.
gorgeous frosty white that isn't in the least overpowering (which is what I was afraid of). love it, and its great as a highlight color.
This is a wonderful, frosty, sparkly white which is just perfect for evening wear, opening up your eye like no colour but white can do. For day wear I tend to prefer a matte white as a highlighter instead.
Definitely a white highlighter staple. There really isnt anything earthshattering about it, but I didnt own any white highlighter loose eyeshadows so I tried this one for $2.50 for which Im sure the quality is excellent for the price. Its a nice icy white shimmer and does what you'd expect. I doubt you'd need more than one of a white highlighter at any given time though.

If you are hoping I am going to share my mom's noodle recipe, I am – Reames Frozen Homestyle Egg Noodles. Really, that was it. She rarely made her own noodles after finding them in the 1970's. Yes, she did make them on rare occasion, but I am not sure what recipe she used.
I use my paternal grandmother's recipe to make noodles. (I rarely can buy Reames where I currently live). Frankly, they are pretty easy to make and don't take nearly as long to cook.
Recipe: Homemade Noodles
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp. milk
- 2 tsp. salt
- flour, enough to make a stiff dough (okay, that is all my grandmother's recipe said,but in realistic terms it is about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of flour)
- Mix all ingredients to form a dough that stiff enough not to stick to everything, but soft enough that you can roll it out.
- Roll out to a thin sheet.
- Cut into fine strips.
- Allow to dry for 15 – 30 minutes before cooking for best results.
- Cook in boiling liquid until tender. The time depends upon the thickness and size of noodles, but it should be between 5 – 10 minutes usually.
Quick Notes
You can cook noodles in beef or chicken stock.This recipe does well with a 32 oz. container of stock.
I add shredded chicken or beef that I usually cook in part of the liquid before making the noodles.
If you cook chicken in a pressure cooker, you can make the noodles while the chicken cooks. By the time the pressure releases naturally, your noodles will be ready to cook.
Number of servings (yield): 4 – 6

Retired Indian army person getting army pension in USA
My uncle us citizen. But he was in army in india. He has some leg problem. Thats why he could not go to india to get his
pension. Could you please get some suggestions or idea. Because he didn't go more then five year to india.
Thanks for your kind support.
If your uncle was getting a pension in India before he chose to become a
US citizen, all he basically needs to do is notify the bank branch where his pension
was deposited in India that he has become a non-resident. In such cases the bank
is required to convert the resident bank account of the pensioner to a non-resident
bank account (NRO).
There must be many army officers who retired after serving in the Indian army and
are now living abroad in various countries getting their army pensions deposited in
their NRO accounts. Pension income can also be sent abroad from NRO accounts by
the account holder subject to payment of any due taxes and following the
procedure set out by the government for such transfers.
In case your uncle was not getting army pension earlier and meets the criteria of drawing a pension for his army services, he should
approach the Indian army offices to submit his pension claim. I am sure the local Indian consulate would help in this regard.
Pensioners living abroad are required to submit a life certificate once a year in the month of November to continue receiving their
pension deposits. Life certificates can be obtained from local Indian Consulates.
Disclaimer: Information provided is for general knowledge only and should not be deemed to be professional advice. For professional advice kindly consult a professional
accountant, immigration advisor or the Indian consulate. Rules and regulations do change from time to time. Please note that in case of any variation between what has

Minus one lippie from the use of parabens in this product. Otherwise, I like this mask. It is impossible to peel off, you have to rinse it. Afterwards, my skin feels smoother and looks more radiant. I prefer the Ren Lactic Acid Mask to this because it totally transforms my skin's texture, but this is certainly comparable in terms of general performance. The only reason I would not repurchase this is because of the paraben content, which I did not realize when I first purchased the item.

I received a full size of this as part of a sample box. I tried it once and it went straight in the trash. The first warning that this was not going to work for me is that it REEKS of alcohol. Sure enough, the second ingredient (after water!) is denatured alcohol. Just a terrible thing to put on your skin. Despite my better judgment, I went ahead and tried it. It burned and I had to remove it and wash my face (which was now red) after just a few minutes. Be careful with this one.

It was on super sale so I decided to give it a try. The smell was bad and I felt like putting industrial chemicals on my face. But I tried it anyways. It burned quite a bit and I had to wash it off half way. The 2nd time I tried it was a little better, but I can't see any effect of the mask on my face after I wash it off.

I have sensitive skin so it burns when i use it. I noticed that the mask doesnt really dry as completely as i would like which makes it hard to peel off. I prefer the Freeman peel-off masks. Also do it with a completely clean face, especially if u have sensitive skin. I forgot that I had put on proactiv lotion about an hour before i put this mask on and my skin burned and broke into a mask....so be careful.....i do not ate the product though.

Eh. I've used this several times and can't say that it's done anything positive or negative for my skin. At all. My skin looks exactly the same after using it as it does before. I hate the long wait for it to dry, and no matter how thickly you apply it it's still difficult to peel off, and even more difficult to remove what doesn't with a washcloth. Juice Beauty's Green Apple Peel blows this away. I will not repurchase.

I have tried a handful of face masks recently: Queen Helen, Mary Kay, Freeman and Yes to Cucumbers. After trying each one I look at my skin and try to decide if it actually changed anything. With this Exuviance mask I don't have to think about it. The difference is dramatic. I have normal/combination skin with occasional acne and some fine lines around my eyes and mouth. After using this mask the wrinkles disappear even better than when I use a moisturizing lotion! This mask plumps up the skin and makes pores way smaller. It adds a general glow. And it completely removed the redness around one of my pimples while the other face masks just made it look more irritated. I absolutely love it!!

Excellent product ... up until now my favorite peel was Natura Bisse's Diamond Ice Lift, which due to the high $$$ cost, I would only use for special occasions, however, I was given a sample of Exuviance's Rejuvinating Treatment Masque as a sample gift and was immediately impressed..... it costs a fraction of the NB mask, and works BETTER ..... I absolutely love what this mask does for my face ..... the only issue I have is after rinsing, my face feels sticky, so it is best to use this mask before bedtime ...... regardless this item rocks ...... my face is smooth, pores are non-existant and it truly makes a difference ..... as of this morning, my sample size has run out, and I am going to Ulta tonight to purchase a full size.

LOVE EXUVIANCE! Does wonder for my skin! I have crazy dry skin and this has not dried my skin out like most masks. After peeling the mask off my face is red and blotchy for about an hour. I will only apply mask when I know there is nothing important for about an hour! Your skin will worship you!

This was my first peel off mask. It's very fun and interesting! I really like it though, it hydrated my skin really well and cleaned the gunk out of those pores. It also helps with the acne too. This wasn't drying at all. I actually did a mini facial on myself the other day, and it'll be my weekly thing...
1.first cleanse with the antibacterial cleanser (amazing stuff)
2.tone with the soothing toning lotion to get off all that extra residue.
3.then i used a biore ultra deep pore strip and it really took away the nasty gunk outta my pores on my nose area.
4.then i did the mask for 10 mins n peeled off, but got impatient so washed the rest off.
6. applied the bionic serum all over my face
7. smoothed the evening rest. complex night cream over that
8. applied the bionic eye cream
9. spot treated
and of course my skin was red by the end of all this, but i woke up with glowing radiant skin!!!! and now it's 2 days later, my skins lookin good. i recommend this regimen to you so try it!

Published:11-August-2010 By Staff Reporter Spartan Motors subsidiary Spartan Motors Chassis has received approval from Cummins for the installation of their 2010 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), certified ISC and ISL diesel engines for use in the emergency-response market. Suppliers to this Sector
Suppliers Products
Suppliers Free White Papers
Spartan Chassis and Cummins have agreed to spend a significant amount of engineering resources for the development, testing and introduction of the mid-range engines. The engines featuring horsepower ranging from 330 to 450 will continue to deliver powerful performance as well as improved efficiency and durability. Spartan Motors president and CEO John Sztykiel said that customers in the emergency-response market have a range of needs, and most of them require high levels of capability. "Spartan and Cummins worked productively together to validate the installation of the 2010 technology, and I am confident that the value, innovation and performance of our products integrated with these diesel engines will meet--if not surpass--the expectations of our customers," Sztykiel said. "New requirements often result in added complexity for vehicle components and systems. Knowledge then becomes critical in holding down the cost of repairs and maintaining these vehicles. "Spartan provides the preventative maintenance, troubleshooting and service information needed by technicians to make sure their truck, or fleet, is ready for the next call." |

- I know there are tons of hurricane Sandy fundraisers/donation options out there, but consider donating something from this Amazon wish list for students at a Monmouth Beach, NJ school that's expected to be closed for 5+ weeks due to damage. Reader Lindsay grew up in Monmouth Beach and went through a similar experience when the school was flooded from a storm back in '92 – she and her fellow classmates organized the wish list as they were in the very same situation 20 years ago.
- Thanks for reading even when my content is boring:)

Thank you so much, Laura, for mentioning the wish list! I cannot tell you how grateful we all are!
I saw argo this weekend too and really liked it!
Love the blog.. Be kind to yourself
Never boring to me! Glad to send something to the school. The storm was heartbreaking. Three cheers always for the wonderful Jersey shore.
I am obsessed with Nashville! And Revenge is fun if you watch the first season all at once. Watching it week by week is kind of boring.
Will absolutely check out your link to donate!!

Matt Lewis, exec chef of Bones, on pop-ups, burgers and women
Favorite local ingredient and where you get it: Rocky Ford melons from Fresh Guys. They're out of season now, but we were compressing them for a salad on our summer menu. Western Slope fruit like Colorado peaches and melons have a natural sweetness because of the state's hot days and cool nights. They're delicious.
Favorite spice: Coriander adds awesome floral notes to a dish, and when you think about it, coriander is used in other things besides cooking, like perfume and cologne. When you pair it with something like pork, it brings out sweetness and adds depth. We cure our pork belly and suckling pig for 24 hours with salt, sugar and ground coriander.
One food you detest: I hate salmon, and you'll never see me order it. Blame it on years of cleaning salmon. Some restaurants get fillets shipped in, but at every restaurant I've worked at, we always got the whole fish, and even if they're as fresh as can be, they still taste fishy to me.
One food you can't live without: Pho has everything you could want: acidity, spiciness, savory elements and sweet components. It's also the best hangover cure on the planet. I typically go to Pho 79, but I also love Pho 95.
Food trend you wish would disappear: The whole burger craze has gotten a bit out of control: Everyone claims they have the best burger. It's tit for tat. Who gives a shit? It's just a burger.
What you'd like to see more of in Denver/Boulder from a culinary standpoint: Pop-up restaurants. We need more chefs just having fun with food. In my mind, people have such strict guidelines when it comes to what chefs do. I'd love to see more chefs just kicking back and serving sweet food in other environments, outside of their own kitchens.
What you'd like to see less of in Denver/Boulder from a culinary standpoint: Pretentious service. Restaurant professionals shouldn't act superior to their guests.
Rules of conduct in your kitchen: Act like a professional, be on time and don't come in with a bad attitude, because a bad attitude rubs off on everyone else, including the guests. We're in a business that's about making people happy.

Genre of dramatic literature that deals with the light and amusing or with the serious and profound in a light, familiar, or satirical manner. Comedy can be traced to revels associated with worship in Greece in the 5th century BC. Aristophanes, Menander, Terence, and Plautus produced comedies in classical literature. It reappeared in the late Middle Ages, when the term was used to mean simply a story with a happy ending (e.g., Dante's Divine Comedy), the same meaning it has in novels of the last three centuries (e.g., the fiction of Jane Austen). Compare tragedy.

From TVGuide Ask Matt: House, Once vs. Grimm, Fringe Renewal
Well at least we are getting more background information on Reese and I like how they tied in Carter finding out about Reese as well. I always wondered in that one episode a couple weeks back when Jessica calls Reese and tells him they need to meet what happened. And now we know. I think it was pretty good that Reese went to Peter's house after he found out that Jessica was killed and we know that Peter killed her before the car accident and I think he took Peter down to Mexico just like he did to Sarah's husband and that's why Carter asked if they had more American prisoners down there. Finch is pretty smart to have sent Carter up there to surpress some evidence before the FBI could find out. Loved loved loved the birthday present Finch gave Reese and how he forgot the address. And it was so cool that it was over the place where Reese hangs out. But the best was Finch being in the wheelchair and Reese bumping into him and not even knowing who he was. I think Finch did and as he said, it was too late because they weren't teamed up yet to help stop Jessica's murder. Good episode.

I just got out of the "Outside-the-Box: Nontraditional Approaches to Transforming Newspapers" panel and for those of you not following me on Twitter, the name didn't fit the majority of panel. The team from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution demonstrated just how far off the mark the newspaper industry is by presenting their recent reorganization as a case study of "out of the box" change. In the truth lives the irony.
The big change at the AJC was a overhaul of the newsroom that involved eliminating tons of departments and creating 4 major divisions that made them more nimble both online and in print. This structural change and focus on cross function "project managers" created both a reduction of cost and better value for their product. That sounds pretty conventional to me.
By contrast Michael Maness, VP of Design and Innovation for Gannett Publishing looked like he was in a different league from the other people on stage with him. He talked altering page design, property types, content creation, and audience communications and building a structure, what he called the "information center" around the mission of transforming papers from their print-centric past. His team launched the CincyMoms social network along side changes to enquirer.com which I mentioned in my last blog post. Lets hope for the news industry sake that "out of the box" coming up looks more like Michael's vision than not. I don't think the news industry can survive being late to the dance for the next generation of technology represented by Web 2.0.

Guide to allspice with information on flavour, how to store and its use in recipes.
Although its name erroneously suggests, allspice is not a mixture or blend of several different spices. It is in fact the dried berries of the "Pimenta dioica" tree, which are available to us in the whole berry form or as a ground powder. The berries are a reddish brown colour after drying and are slightly larger than peppercorns.
Allspice is extremely popular in Caribbean cooking due to the fact that it is native to this part of the world. It is probably the most important spice employed in Caribbean cuisine and is predominantly used to flavour hot and fiery marinades and rubs for meat and poultry such as in the well-known "jerk" seasoning mixture.
In other parts of the world allspice is often neglected or left at the back of the cupboard, although it is favoured in the UK where it is used in pickling mixtures, preserves and in a variety of cake, biscuit and sweet pudding recipes. As it has a slight peppery overtone to its flavour, it is often added to stews, curries or soups.
The history of allspice
Allspice was originally native to the tropical forests of South and Central America and the West Indies, particularly Jamaica.
During one of his discovery voyages to the Caribbean, Christopher Columbus stumbled upon allspice quite by accident, as he was actually searching for black pepper.
Coming across the dark brown allspice berries, Columbus assumed that they were peppercorns and he took them back with him to Europe, after naming them "pimienta", which is the Spanish word for the pepper spice.
Today, allspice is often referred to as "pimienta de Jamaica" in Spanish or Jamaica pepper in English, as well as other names such as myrtle pepper and pimento.
Jamaica is the world's largest producer of allspice today and the climate there gives rise to the best quality allspice in the world.
Other producers are Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras, although the quality is not as good as the Jamaica pepper.
Allspice taste and aroma
Allspice was given the name that we know it as today some time during the late seventeenth century due to the fact that it has a taste and aroma similar to several spices all rolled into one -
black pepper
As allspice is more commonly sold as a ground powder, many people assume that it is a mixture of the above spices, when actually it is not.
Therapeutic uses of allspice
Allspice has been used in traditional folklore medicine for several hundreds of years primarily as a digestive.
When added to foods that are difficult to digest, such as proteins and fats or foods that may cause bloating and flatulence, such as cauliflower, cabbage and beans, allspice can aid digestion and relieve any discomfort that is associated with indigestion.
Medical research has found that allspice has similar properties to cloves. It has a high eugenol content meaning that it is highly bacterial and it also has mild anaesthetic properties.
Perhaps more importantly, allspice has proved to be very beneficial in the treatment of arthritic and rheumatic pains and other muscular and joint problems. This is because it acts as a rubefacient, which is a substance that when applied to an affected area draws out the inflammation and increases the blood supply to it, giving a warming and calming effect.
Allspice is also known to settle the nervous system, which can be helpful for stress and anxiety amongst other symptoms.
Buying and storing allspice
It is preferable to buy allspice in the whole berry form, as once the berries are harvested they do tend to lose their flavour and aroma quite quickly.
You can grind the berries as you need them by placing them into a pepper mill or coffee grinder or by using a pestle and mortar.
The whole berries will keep indefinitely if stored in an airtight glass jar out of the sunlight. The ground powder, on the other hand, will only keep for a few months.
Culinary uses of allspice
Allspice is famous for being the main ingredient of the Caribbean "jerk" seasoning, a marinade mixture, which is used to flavour meats and poultry, especially pork and chicken. The meat is marinated in the spicy seasoning and then cooked over an open fire, where allspice branches are used for the firewood.
Other ways in which allspice is used in different types of cuisines are:
In Caribbean soups, stews and curries.
In pickling mixtures.
In chutneys, jams, pickles, preserves and marinades.
In mulled wine and other type of hot punch or beverage.
In cakes and biscuits.
In milk puddings and desserts.
In fruit pies, crumbles, compotes and sauces.
In bean soups or pulse dishes.
In sausage mixture and meat pies or
In meat rubs and marinades.
In pâtés and terrines.
In ice creams and alcoholic liqueurs.
In flavouring chocolate or hot chocolate.
Allspice Recipes
A number of recipes for allspice including jerk chicken, pickled onions and tomato chutney.
Jerk Chicken
Chicken portions are marinated overnight in a hot and spicy mixture of herbs, spices, onions, chillies and garlic and then cooked over the hot coals of a barbeque or open fire for the Caribbean version.
4 portions of chicken
3 chopped spring onions
2 Scotch Bonnet chillies, seeded and chopped
4 tbsp of white wine vinegar
3 tbsp of light soy sauce
1 tbsp of whole allspice berries, ground
1 chopped clove of garlic
2-inch piece of
root ginger
, peeled and chopped
1 tsp of dried
1 tsp of black pepper
Wash the chicken pieces, pat them dry with kitchen paper and place into a large shallow dish.
Place the spring onions, chillies, garlic, ginger, allspice, dried thyme, black pepper, vinegar and soy sauce into a food processor and process until a smooth paste has formed.
Pour the mixture over the chicken pieces. Turn the chicken to coat thoroughly and evenly with the marinade mixture.
Cover the dish with cling film and transfer to the refrigerator. Leave to marinate overnight or for up to 24 hours.
Preheat the barbeque or grill to medium - high and then place the chicken pieces onto the rack and cook for 30 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the marinade.
Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.
Tomato Chutney
This condiment is best made with over-ripe tomatoes. The secret to a good chutney is slow cooking in an aluminium or stainless steel pan if possible.
6 lb (2.7 kg) of tomatoes
12 oz (340 g) of brown sugar
10 fl oz (300 ml) of malt vinegar
8 oz (225 g) of onions
1 tbsp of salt
4 level tsp of whole allspice berries
1 tsp of
cayenne pepper
Wash, peel and chop the tomatoes and place into a large aluminium, glass or stainless steel pan.
Peel and chop the onions and add to the pan.
Cook over a gentle heat for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently until the vegetables are tender.
Tie the allspice berries in muslin and add to the pan.
Add the salt, cayenne pepper and half of the malt vinegar. Stir well and cook gently for about 45 minutes until the mixture becomes pulpy and thick.
Stir in the remaining vinegar and add the sugar.
Continue to cook until the sugar dissolves and the chutney thickens to a desired consistency.
Remove the allspice and discard.
Transfer the chutney into warm sterilised jars and cover the surface with wax-coated paper disks or preserving skins. Screw on the lids. Label the jars and store for at least 3 months before using.
Pickled onions
You will probably need a few days to prepare the pickled onions and get them into their jars and then they will need to sit for a few weeks before you can eat them but it will all be worth it in the end.
4 lb (1.8 kg) of pickling or baby onions
1 lb (455 g) of salt
For the spiced vinegar
2 pints (1.1 l) of malt vinegar
6 black peppercorns
3 blades of
cinnamon sticks
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp of whole allspice
1 tbsp of cloves
First of all prepare the spiced vinegar. Place all of the spiced vinegar ingredients into a saucepan. Gently bring to the boil.
Boil for 5 minutes and then remove from the heat.
Cover the pan, set aside and allow to cool for about 2 hours but do not refrigerate.
Strain the vinegar and pour into an airtight jar or container with a vinegar-proof top.
Place the unpeeled onions into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix together half of the salt with 4 pints of water until the salt has completely dissolved.
Pour this brining solution over the unpeeled onions in the bowl and leave to marinate for about 12 hours.
Remove the skin from the onions, drain the brining solution and return the onions to the cleaned bowl.
Dissolve the remaining salt in the same amount of water and pour over the peeled onions.
Leave to marinate for 24 - 36 hours.
Drain the onions and rinse well under water.
Place them into sterilised jars.
Pour the prepared spiced vinegar over the onions until they are covered.
Cover the surface with vinegar-proof paper disks and seal with lids.
Store for at least 2 - 3 weeks before eating.
