Am writing this today as my brother & I make the decision on Dad's placement now that he's not accepting any food. My DH & I moved him here in Feb to the NW where he wanted to be. First, he chose independent living, now in assisted-living. This is day 4 that he will not accept food & yet he takes his daily medicine. He's diabetic with end stage renal failure w/o dialysis & has congestive heart failure. He's bleeding internally & here he's still living where he is. He is now staying in bed (3 days). His mind has been very alert when awake & knows what's happening to him. Dr said last week another move is not good & we could do Hospice. Yes, I do know that. Today my brother thinks the hospital is the best idea & not nursing home. Dad's directive states as he wrote, if no hope, " Leave me alone". We want to make him comfortable. Brother is talking IV's...would that go against his wishes not wanting life support? This is difficult. Am so fortunate to have such a loving, DH & being able to be with Dad so often now. He's sleeping most of the time & would like some input on this, if you would. Thank You, Sharlee |
Follow-Up Postings:
You said that his mind is very alert when he is awake. Can you and your brother stay with him until he awakens and ask him whether he wants IVs to help alleviate any discomfort? I think as long as his mind is so agile, asking him would be best. As hard as it may be, though, I personally read "Leave me alone" as just that. No IVs, no life support, no resuscitation. I am not trying to tell you what to do... I am only letting you know how I interpret things as a third-party outsider. I cannot imagine how hard that is to deal with, and my heart goes out to you. I hope you have a few good times during these last days, weeks, etc. Good luck and take care. |
IVs will make the discomfort last longer. And since he is in renal failure, there is no where for the fluid to go. He will swell. Your brother needs to understand what a strain that would be. Your father needs hospice care, either at home or in a hospice facility. Some hospitals do everything possible to keep a patient alive as long as possible. I don't think your father would want that. |
Sharlee, check for my thread on "Comfort Care Measures", the papers I filled out for the nrsing home where Mother is. It's been a learning experience, and my heart is with you tonight. I understand what you are going thru. Hugs... Helene |

Thank you, Taupe79, I did ask my brother if Dad was able to speak to us today as I was on my way. Today being another day, he had gotten to another stage & was not able to say much. I also interpreted the "Leave me alone" as just that. PeaBee, Yes, I want you to know that I did tell my brother about the fluid intake as my former husband was on dialysis for 11 yrs. I really appreciated that from you. Helene, I will look at the thread. Bless you. And now, I must say to you that my Dad passed away tonight while both my brother & I were there. God took care of things like He always does. Why I was worrying about the differences my brother & I had? Guess the stress of matters. Goodnite, dear ones. Sharlee |
Oh, My! When there is a passing like your father's, it is so difficult because of the lost and yet, relief that he no longer suffers or is aware of his condition. Take care of yourself. He would want you to. PB |
Dear Sharlee... Thank God for His mercy. How wonderful that He took care of your dad for you and your brother. What a blessing he didn't have to endure the IVs and dialysis. May God bless and comfort you. I'm sure your dad knew you loved him very much. ~breezy |

YAKIMA, Wash., May 5, 2013 – It is absolutely astonishing the profits that corporate America is now making. Apple, Inc. has so much money on its books that it announced that it wants to move a hundred billion dollars off its balance sheet. Attention: that was "$100 BILLION."
Newsweek reported that Apple's CEO Tim Cook has scheduled Apple to buy back $60 billion worth of its outstanding stock. Additionally, the other $40 billion would reflect in the form of a 15% increase in the quarterly dividend for the shareholders. This comes at a time when average workers are struggling just to make ends meet.
From 2005 to 2012, the purchasing power of the dollar has fallen 19% according to the latest estimates from the U.S. Department of Labor. In addition, the median American family income has fallen while the wealth of the rich and powerful has increased by 30%.
Corporate America has approximately $1.79 trillion stashed in its coffers. Think about it: $1.79 trillion. This is up from $1.39 trillion in 2008. Yet, the median family income has fallen during the same time period.
Something is wrong in America.
When Haiti was hit with a devastating earthquake in 2010, it was the people of the U.S. who came to the Haitian's rescue. When Hurricane Sandy devastated the east coast of America last year, it was Americans who came to the rescue. When Iraq, Afghanistan, and now Syria fell to pieces, it was the U.S. citizens who came to their rescue.
Yet, with the American middle-class struggling to make ends meet, corporate America turns a deaf ear and politicians turn a blind eye when it comes to helping our own. The Pew Research Center reports 85% of middle-class adults say it's harder today than a decade ago for middle-class people to maintain their standard of living. While 62% of the people surveyed blame Congress for this decline, about 50% also blame American business institutions.
Something is wrong in America.
What would happen if companies like Apple, Wal-Mart, or all other big corporation suddenly decided that they had too much cash sitting on their balance sheets and gave the bottom 75% of their work force a substantial pay raise?
What if the lowest paid store clerk's minimum wage got doubled? What if the poorest paid tellers at your local bank branch got their salaries bumped up substantially?
Would the rich take it in the shorts? No.
It's doubtful they would miss the money.
Would it hurt banks to pay a decent dividend, maybe 5%, like in the "good old days" when banks were actually banks? Today, banks are often financial machines that practice a legalized brand of extortion, sucking every cent they can out of depositors and borrowers. They make huge profits, hoard their gains, and give very little back to the communities they serve.
Apple operates about 402 company store which employ 42,600 people at wages, which are relative low. If they would to give these people a decent wage, think what the effect would be on our economy. These hard working people would eat out more often, spend more money, buy houses (which the lenders would love), and take nice trips more often.
If Apple were to up the pay to this one group by $10 a week, it would add over $20 million dollars to our economy. Now just think if Wal-Mart did the same thing. The effect on our economy would be staggering. Other big companies and banks could jump on the bandwagon, and so on and so on, until our economy was really humming along.
Why can't this happen? Simple. One three letter word: Ego
One three letter word: ego. The need to show strength, show super ability, and show super power to control others is what stops those with the money from seeing the need for a stronger, more robust middle class. No longer do they believe in a trickle-down economy, they believe in total control.
Something is wrong in America.

Hi All,
In API access rights on phones, S60 3rd FP1 written that on E51, N95 and 6110 (Navigator) phones and secure 3rd party midlets the application manager doesn't allow you to put at the same time 'network access' and 'auto start' both on 'always allow', when you set one to 'always allow' the other is automatically set to 'ask first time. But on article API access rights on phones, S60 3rd FP2 all permission will get always allowed feature. So my question is that if i signed my application and if it used in S60 3rd FP2 devices then whether it will work without asking any of these permissions?

World in Conflict is a real-time strategy video game by Massive Entertainment and to be published by Sierra Entertainment for Windows (DX9 and DX10) and the Xbox 360.
The game is set in 1989 where economic troubles cripple the Soviet Union and threaten to dissolve it. However, the title pursues a "what if" scenario where, in this case, the Soviet Union does not collapse and instead pursues a course of war to remain in power. It is an intensive new game is sure to put plenty of stress on even the latest graphics cards and we use the built-in benchmarking for our testing.
We can see much the same with World in Conflict where the X2 benefits are seen at the higher resolution giving it the lead against the competition.

Before I get into this week's blog, I want to address something so many of you have been talking about online. It's one of those details that you forget about when you can't see the forest for the trees. After this, I will lay this subject to rest permanently, but this has to be brought up as it was addressed by so many of you and brought up on the show (hopefully for the final time.)
I didn't realize how many people were under the impression that Alexis did not know I had dated Peggy until she said something on the show. This is woefully inaccurate. What REALLY happened was that Alexis and I had our agreement (as I stated in my last blog) but as SOON as we found out Peggy had been chosen for the show, I told Alexis that she and I had dated (15 years ago.) So for anyone still laboring under the misconception that Peggy was the one to break the news to Alexis, this is simply not true. And that's a wrap!
Now onto this week. I want to thank the tens of thousands of people who have visited this blog and those who have reached out and confirmed my feeling that breaking my silence was the right thing to do. Although I am not sure how long I will continue to blog, I'm going to keep it up for now. Frankly, it feels good, and I find it to be a relief to be able to tell you the truth the way I see it.
This week, I'm stepping into the lion's den for my wife. Alexis is one of the kindest, most loving, and authentic friends one could ever have. To see people take her friendship for granted and walk away from it blows my mind. That might sound very biased, but she is my wife after all, and I know what a pure heart she has, and how much emotion and effort she puts into those people she calls her true friends.
It SEEMS this week that Alexis can say nothing right. It made me realize something: Alexis and I don't deny Christ at all, but some have labeled us as self-righteous, or judge us in a way that is different from everyone else on the show. We never claimed to be better or wiser than anyone else, and we don't place judgment on others based on their faith. Has anyone else noticed that Alexis has been placed in the "religious" category where she is scrutinized more closely than anyone else on the show?
The way Alexis comes off this week is unfortunate, but it's also not very fair. Because Alexis is not a fake, she says what's on her heart and mind—not what she thinks someone wants her to say. Others will say and do a lot to get what they want or to seem "edgy" in the moment. Some are out for money, others for fame, and others just want to be told they are right. None of it is really about fame and fortune, it's about acceptance at the most basic level.
Having stepped away 18 months ago, it all seems very clear from my point of view. I really wasn't sure if doing a blog about my thoughts was a good idea, but I also wasn't sure if disappearing without some explanation was a good idea either. But now I see that giving myself the space to speak freely, I've actually truly allowed myself to see there's a lot going on for the love of money. Don't get me wrong, we enjoy nice things like everyone else, but they don't define us and they are certainly not our driving force. What drives us is God, family, and friends.
You hear people say all the time that money is the root of all evil. Not so. It is the LOVE of money that is the root of all kinds of evil. Everyday we see someone say or do something to have the competitive edge over someone else. I too have been guilty of this. For what? To stay relevant, to continue making money, or in the case of some, to gain a higher sense of self when the best part of themselves—their true inner self with all its potential—was sitting right there all along!
Whether it's money or glory you're after, both are expendable, and both have an exchange rate. HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED THAT AS OUR ECONOMY HAS WORSENED THAT THE EXCHANGE RATE ON OUR INTEGRITY HAS GOTTEN LOWER? We have to ask ourselves, what is the exchange rate on our integrity? On our humility? On our humanity? On our morality? We should all ask ourselves these questions and answer honestly.
Whether it's cash or another kind of currency is irrelevant. Once you are so consumed by the desire for things and status, the meaning of life washes away like watercolor. Life is meant to be big and vibrant—not always perfect, and not always pure, but bright, full, and meaningful because of what you do for others, how you conduct yourself in both good and bad times, and how you behave in both good company and bad. It's not up to us to judge, it's up to us to live as best we can based on what we know—NOT what we have.
In the end when we die, what we saved we had, what we spent we lost, and what we gave we have. All we have left is what we gave.

Colorado Rockies
Our expert from ScoutPRO.com,Shawn Childs, helps you prepare for your big fantasy baseball draft.Colorado Rockies Team Projection
After moving backwards for 3 straight seasons, the Rockies won 10 more games than 2012 last season. However, their offense scored the least amount of runs (706 - 10th in the majors) in franchise history for a full season, finishing 15th in the majors in HR's (159), 3rd in batting average (.270) and 9th in SB's (112). Their pitching staff continues to be one of the worst in baseball (4.44 ERA - 28th in the league), but they did a much better job of limiting HR's (136 - 24th). In addition, the Rockies pitchers finished 29th in the majors in K's (1064). In the offseason, 1B Todd Helton retired and P Roy Oswalt and P Rafael Betancourt became free agents. Colorado did sign 1B Justin Morneau, P LaTroy Hawkins, and P Boone Logan, and acquired P Brett Anderson, OF Drew Stubbs, OF Brandon Barnes, P Jordan Lyles, and P Franklin Morales in multiple trades during the offseason. Overall, Colorado should have a better offense, but their pitching staff will rank well below the league average. Furthermore, the Rockies bullpen lacks upside arms. Based on all of this, it looks like another long season for Colorado.
1. 2B Josh Rutledge
Rutledge is a good example of a young player with a short resume getting drafted at full value in 2013, but his lack of plate discipline led to him hitting his way out of the majors in late May (.242 with 5 HR's, 13 RBI's, and 5 SB's in 157 at bats). He played well at AAA (.371 with 4 HR's and 24 RBI's in 143 at bats), but he played even worse after he was recalled in June (.143 with 1 HR and 3 RBI's in 70 at bats). His failures led to a 2nd trip to the minors. Josh played well in September in limited at bats (.328), but his K rate (19.8%) was slightly below 2012. However, his walk rate (7.0%) did show some growth. Rutledge is a career .328 hitter in the minors with 26 HR's, 134 RBI's, and 32 SB's in 998 at bats. He doesn't have a great approach, but his K rate is low enough where his batting average should be an asset in Colorado. I expected him to emerge as the starting second baseman for the Rockies. While he has the most upside on the team at the position, his skill set isn't ideal to bat at the top of the lineup (although he may end up being the best option if he hits well). Possible 15/20 skill set with upside across the board.
2. 3B Nolan Arenado
Arenado was able to get valuable experience in the majors last season. Nolan hasn't played at as high of a level over the last 2 years as he showed during his breakout 2011 season at High A (.298 with 20 HR's and 122 RBI's in 517 at bats). He is a career .290 hitter in the minors with 49 HR's and 286 RBI's in 1,675 at bats. His K rate (14.1%) has been asset during his entire career (10.2%), but his walk rate (4.5%) was short with Colorado and wasn't much higher in the minors (6.8%). Arenado was a better player against LH pitching (.296 with a .486 SLG %), and only had 14 K's in 135 at bats against lefties. Overall, Nolan delivered less than replacement stats from the third base position in 2013, but he is a high upside player with a plus contact rate. Arenado has 20+ HR power, but may need another season to develop in the majors. His approach and lack of speed will keep him from hitting in the top part of the batting order, unless his batting average makes a huge step forward. Let's set the bar at .290 with 17 HR's and 75 RBI's. His RBI rate (16%) was above the league average in 2013, but he didn't have a high RBI total due to short chances. Colorado's lineup will have more depth this year, which gives him a better opportunity for success.
3. OF Carlos Gonzalez
Sometimes it's easy to forgot how good a player is in baseball if you don't own him in the fantasy market. Gonzalez put up monster stats for a player that really played 2/3 of the season. Carlos was on a pace for a 100+ runs, 35+ HR's, 100+ RBI, and 30+ SB season. However, his year was ruined by a right middle finger injury that limited him to only 37 at bats after the All Star break. Cargo had success against both RH (.297 with a .622 SLG %) and LH (.310 with a .535 SLG %) pitching. His one glaring negative was the huge jump in his K rate (27.1% - 19.4% in 2011 and 19.9% in 2013), although his walk rate (9.4%) has been just above the league average over the last 3 seasons. His HR/FB rate (23.9%) was a career high, and it has been in an elite area for the last 4 years. Gonzalez has a career high FB rate (40.5%). It looks like he made an effort to swing for the fences more (which led to higher K rate), but Carlos was able to maintain his .300 batting average. Surprisingly, he was a much better player on the road (.332 with 14 HR's in 193 at bats). In early January, Gonzalez had emergency surgery on his appendix. Cargo is expected to be 100% healthy by the start of the season. Solid 20/20 player with upside across the board, however, his batting average may have risk if Carlos doesn't fix the K issue.
4. SS Troy Tulowitzki
Another baseball season; another Tulowitzki injury. Troy is a great player and a clear edge at his position. Without a full season of at bats, he can't make the impact fantasy players need to win leagues. Last year, he suffered a broken rib in mid June, which cost him about a month of the season. Later in the year, Troy had a minor oblique issue. His K rate (16.6%) was slightly above his career average, while his walk rate (11.1%) was just off his career high. Tulowitzki was very good against both RH (.310 with a .560 SLG %) and LH (.318 with a .482 SLG %) pitchers, but he hit 21 of his 25 HR's against RH pitching. He had the 2nd highest HR/FB rate (18.1%) of his career. Over the last 4 seasons, Troy has missed 210 games. If he ever played a full season, he would be a huge edge at his position. He has high upside in batting average with a 30/100 skill set. Without the injury risk, he would be a top 5 selection in 2014. It's tough to ignore his talent as he could pop for a career year at any time.
5. 1B Justin Morneau
Morneau hasn't been an impact player since his 2010 season. His K rate (17.3%) has been above his career average in 3 of the last 4 seasons, while his walk rate (7.9%) has been much shorter since his concussion issue. From 2004 to 2009, Justin was an elite run producer (19.7% RBI rate). Over the past 4 years, he has only been about the league average (15%). Furthermore, his success against LH pitching (.206) has taken a huge hit over the last 3 years. Last year, Morneau found his power stroke in August (9 HR's with 21 RBI's), but he was not productive after his trade to the Pirates in September (no HR's and 3 RBI's in 77 at bats). His approach at the plate did show growth with Pittsburgh (14.1% walk rate and 13.0% K rate). Overall, the move to Colorado could be intriguing for Morneau. His skill set has been on the decline after his head injury, but this is the first time in many years where he has a nice supporting cast around him. His FB rate (40.3%) is high enough where 30 HR's could be within reach this season. My gut tells me he is going to have a solid.300, 30/100 season, but his recent lack of success against lefties makes me believe the bar should be lowered a notch or two. His price point should be more than fair, and he could play poorly and still deliver a 20/80 season.
6. OF Michael Cuddyer
Cuddyer set a career high in batting average (.331) in 2013 that led to the NL batting title. Just like Gonzalez and Tulowitzki, Michael missed 30+ games of the season. In early May, he had a bulging disk in his neck, which cost him a 2 weeks on the DL. Late in the year, he had a wrist forearm injury that he was able to play with. His K rate (18.5%) and his walk rate (8.5%) were both below his career averages, however, Cuddyer crushed RH pitching (.350 with .555 SLG %). He played well at home (.356 with 11 HR's and 45 RBI's in 225 at bats) and on the road (.311 with 9 HR's and 39 RBI's in 264 at bats). Michael has had a strong HR/FB rate (16.9%) during his 2 seasons with the Rockies, but he had a high GB rate (49.7%) and a low FB rate (30.1%). Overall, Cuddyer is on the downside of his career. He is playing in a great ballpark and maybe he is this generation's version of Dante Bichette. His batting average isn't repeatable, but it should still be an asset. Michael has 20+ HR power, but the HR upside is limited due to his low FB rate. The Rockies lineup has enough talent to score a lot of runs if everyone stays healthy. Possible .290 with 25 HR's and 90 RBI's.
7. C Wilin Rosario
Rosario has had back to back 20 HR season with 70+ RBI's. His K rate (23.4%) doesn't support his batting average (.292) and his walk rate (3.2%) flat lined last year. He also missed the last 2 weeks of the season with a calf injury. Wilin was a plus hitter against LH pitching (.323 with a .546 SLG %), and his K rate (17.4%) was an asset against lefties. He also hit well against RH pitching (.279), but he had a higher K rate (25.9%). Rosario came out of the box on fire (.350 with 7 HR's and 19 RBI's in April) and played real well in June, July, and August (.317 with 11 HR's and 44 RBI's). Over his last 144 at bats, Wilin didn't take a walk. His HR/FB rate (17.1%) was a career low, but it has been elite during every season in the majors. Rosario had success against sinkers (.391 - .652 SLG %), sliders (.284 - .549 SLG %), and cutters (.406 - .688 SLG %). Wilin would have the least amount of value against a pitcher with a plus changeup (.188 - .250 SLG %). He has plus power with 30+ HR upside, but his free swinging style will invite batting average risk. His batting average last year was about the same at home (.293) as it was on the road (.290).
8. OF Charlie Blackmon
Blackmon finally had a chance at regular at bats in August and September (.332 with 5 HR's, 18 RBI's, and 4 SB's in 184 at bats), and had success against both RH (.314) and LH (.296) pitching. His K rate (19.0%) was higher than his minor league career (13.1%). Additionally, Charlie had one of the lowest walk rates (2.7%) in the game (8.0% walk rate in the minors). He is a career .309 hitter in the minors with 39 HR's, 283 RBI's, and 94 SB's in 1,964 at bats. His success in batting average in 2013 was driven by a high LD rate (27.2%). Blackmon will compete with Drew Stubbs and Corey Dickerson for playing time in left field. While he has enough talent to add value to the Rockies lineup and possibly bat leadoff, his skill set may not be strong enough to be an everyday player without an injury. He has 10/30 upside with a full time job. If he doesn't gain a starting job, Charlie will be a high value replacement if the Rockies have an injury in the outfield.
9. OF Corey Dickerson
Dickerson has an upside bat. He is a career .321 hitter in the minors with 78 HR's, 279 RBI's, and 43 SB's in 1,480 at bats. His K rate (19.3%) and walk rate (7.5%) should come in about major league average. Corey struggled in his limited at bats with the Rockies against LH pitching (.194 - .306 SLG %). Last year, he had a huge infield FB rate (25.0% - too much swinging for the fences). Dickerson isn't a great outfielder and has below average speed. His power gives him the edge in left, but he won't see full time at bats until he proves he can handle lefties in the majors. He has high upside in power with a strong enough approach to deliver a positive batting average.
10. OF Drew Stubbs
Stubbs is trying his best to hit his way out of the league. His K rate (29.3%) remains his biggest downfall, but his walk rate (9.2%) is above the league average. Drew has only hit .199 over the last 2 years against RH pitching with a huge K rate (30.5%). His lack of success making contact led to Stubbs losing playing time over the 2nd half of 2013. While his power is somewhat limited due to his high GB rate (46.5%), Drew has the best chance to get playing time against LH pitching. Overall, he will add depth to the outfield and speed off the bench. Stubbs has upside if he could have his K rate moving in the right direction, but he'll never lose his batting average risk. Possible 20/30 player with 550 at bats, but his value is trending toward a less than 400 at bat season.
11. C Jordan Pacheco
He will be the backup catcher this season and adds some flexibility to the roster. He is a career .285 hitter with short power and some speed.
12. MI D.J. LeMahieu
The Rockies gave him the majority of at bats at second base last year after Rutledge was sent back to the minors. He hit .280 with 2 HR's, 28 RBI's, and 18 SB's in 404 at bats. His walk rate (4.4%) is extremely low, while his K rate (15.4%) was a career high. D.J. hit .321 during his minor league career with no power and mid teens speed. His skill set will work better as a bench player in 2014.
13. 3B Ryan Wheeler
He will compete for a backup corner infielder role this year. Wheeler is a career .311 hitter in the minors with 61 HR's, 376 RBI's, and 20 SB's in 2,075 at bats.
14. OF Brandon Barnes
He has a slim chance of making the Rockies if everyone stays healthy. Barnes was able to get 408 at bats with the Astros in 2013 (.240 with 8 HR's, 41 RBI's, and 11 SB's), but his high K rate (28.5%) and low walk rate (4.7%) give him no chance of ever earning a starting job in the majors.

[donotprint]After long weeks of training for my new job and getting used to the crazy traffic of this city I finally had some time to update my blog. I've had eating and taking pictures of some amazing food that will eventually make it to the pages of this blog, hopefully soon since my training is over and my schedule at work should allow me to pay more attention to my blog life during the day.
Anyway, today I want to share with you all this amazing dish that my mom called esquites. Esquites, according to Wikipedia, is a popular Mexican snack made with corn kernels that are usually boiled in chicken broth and served with lime juice, salt, chili powder, mayonnaise or cream and cheese. However, my mom cooked them in a frying pan with butter and added epazote, onion and chorizo. That made an amazing side dish that we all enjoyed.[/donotprint]
- •4 cups corn kernels
- •2 TBSP butter
- •1/2 onion, sliced
- •1 little branch of epazote
- •1/2 lb chorizo
- •1 or 2 chile de arbol pepppers (they are dried) roughly chopped
- •salt and pepper to taste
- •pumpkin blossom for garnish
- In a large frying pan melt the butter and add the corn kernels. Stir constantly until they start to cook.
- In a separate pan cook the chorizo. Add onion, chile de arbol and epazote. Add to the corn kernels. Add salt pepper and stir constantly until it cooks thoroughly.
- Serve and add a little bit of lime juice (optional) and garnish with a pumpkin blossom.
¡Buen provecho!

I loved this dish the moment I saw it Ben. Corn on the cob is prolific right now at our markets so I feel inspired.
Looks delicious, Ben. I like your mom's version better than the traditional.
Hope all is well with you. Looking forward to more regular posting once you're comfortably settled.
Between the fresh sweet corn that's available right now and the salty spicy chorizo, it seems to me that you just can't go wrong with a dish like this! I love your mom's changes to the traditional recipe…sounds like she's got some serious instinct in the kitchen.
Good to hear you are settling in Ben. What a gorgeous side dish…I adore choclo!
We are definitely eating lots of corn these days – I'll have to try this. I've been making corn pudding, corn fritters, etc., etc.
Lots of tasty flavours! I have sweetcorn and chorizo!
Hi Ben! Great to see you blogging again! I missed you!
That looks really good Ben! I am a big fan of both sweetcorn and of chorizo so this must be a winner for me!
This looks incredible! Definitely saving this one.
G'day I would love to try this dish! I have dried epazote and was wondering how much would I substitute dried for a sprig? Thank you!

The George Herbert Walker School of Business and Technology at Webster University has just released the fourth Notabene magazine designed by Falk Harrison. We have worked with Dean Benjamin Ola Akande, Ph.D. since 2009, and each year, Dr. Akande's request is simple: "This has to be better than last year."
In 2010, we highlighted the school using the concept of Social Media, featuring a visit by Twitter's founder Jack (@Jack) Dorsey. Back then, we were at the very beginning of mass acceptance of social media as a business communication tool.
In 2011, we highlighted the new home of the school, the East Academic Building. The building was designed by noted architect Robert A. M. Stern, Dean of the Yale University School of Architecture.
In 2012, we turned our focus to diversity, with a theme of "Inclusive Excellence." The metaphor of the centennial celebration of the Oreo Cookie paired with an all black-and-white magazine helped us accentuate excellence from an eclectic mix of people from around the globe.
And this year, we share the "Evidence" of The Walker School's success from every standpoint. Is the 2013 edition the best Notabene yet? The jury is still out, but we wanted to share the evidence with you and let you be the judge.
p.s. Falk Harrison also produced this year's University Report for Webster University at large.

On your next flight, you may want to look over your shoulder at what the person next to you is doing. Help Net Security reports:
… Read the restAn extremely well attended talk by Hugo Teso, a security consultant at n.runs AG in Germany, galvanized the crowd attending the Hack In The Box Conference in Amsterdam. Teso showcased an Andorid app, PlaneSploit, that remotely controls airplanes on the move.
Teso has been working in IT for the last eleven years and has been a trained commercial pilot for a year longer than that. By creating an exploit framework (SIMON) and an Android app (PlaneSploit) that delivers attack messages to the airplanes' Flight Management Systems (computer unit + control display unit), he demonstrated the terrifying ability to take complete control of aircraft.

Mini vehicles are multifunctional, have the capacity of full-sized vehicles and can help reduce harm to the environment.
Mini vehicles can cut back costs in a lot of ways. They conserve gas, some come in electric versions and they are significantly cheaper. These compact cars, carts, pods and cycles are adorable and equipped for the road. They are ideal for traveling long distances because they aren't gas guzzlers and you can maneuver with ease on the road. Miniature vehicles come in the same finishes as other cars, often with upgrades and can even be tricked out. For instance, you can get custom work done, buy special edition models or scoop up a designer-collaborated version.
Mini vehicles are a great option whether you want to cruise slow or fast.

Jozo Salt
AkzoNobel has been producing salt products since 1929. Today, its brands Jozo and Nezo are household names in many European countries. We also supply salt for food processing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, electrolysis and de-icing.
Elotex is a leading producer of building material additives. AkzoNobel makes high-quality, re-dispersible powder polymers and performance additives. These can dramatically improve the performance of building products such as cement and repair mortars, stucco, floor coatings and wallpaper adhesives.
Ferrazone is AkzoNobel's brand name for sodium feredetate, an iron compound used for the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia. But Ferrazone® is no ordinary iron salt. It's formulated to deliver maximum benefit without the side-effects associated with some other iron supplements.
Most processed food has cellulose gum in it. And choosing the right gum for a product is crucial if it's going to have the right composition and appearance.
AkzoNobel's Eka products are used by pulp and paper-making industries around the world. Customers use them for everything from pulping and de-inking right through to coating special paper grades. These specialty chemicals are used for many other industrial applications as well.
Heat an Expancel microsphere and the plastic shell softens and its volume increases by more than 40 times. According to the company, customers can save costs in materials, production, finishing, handling and transportation.
Introduced in 1988, Kromasil is a silica-based packing material used for the chromatographic treatment of active pharmaceutical substances, including insulin.
Bermocoll is an important ingredient in products for the building industry. It has just the right consistency for cement- and gypsum-based systems. And it gives materials better water retention and adhesion.
Chelate chemistry is used in everything from processing photos to preserving food. The one thing that distinguishes chelates from other compounds is that they interact strongly with metal ions in aqueous solutions. Dissolvine goes one better. AkzoNobel's chelates have a unique structure with metal ions that are much more stable than other chelating agents.

Despite my vehement objections, reports indicate that the Toronto Blue Jays have gone ahead and signed ROOGY Octavio Dotel to a one year contract that guarantees the closer candidate $3.5 million dollars, and could be worth $6.5 million over two years.
Just to rehash my opinion one more time, Dotel is a great pitcher when facing right handed batters, but against lefties, he is among the worst in all of baseball (FIP the last three seasons: 5.09, 7.38, 5.46). If the team isn't using Dotel situationally, it shouldn't be using Dotel at all. It then becomes an issue of paying Dotel $3.5 million to be a situational right hander.
Scott Richmond, whose career 1.00 WHIP, 3.86 FIP against right handers, could do just as good of a job as Dotel and get paid the league minimum. What Richmond doesn't offer that Dotel does is a potential draft pick reward at the end of a successful season.
Assuming that Dotel attains Type B status, and not a leprous Type A that would almost guarantee the option on his contract getting picked up, or him accepting arbitration after the option is declined, the Jays will receive a draft pick after the fiftieth pick has already been taken.
Considering the drop off in value by pick 50, and the values that Victor Wang came up with for draft pick ranges, paying $3.5 million for a Type B pick makes no sense whatsoever. It's the equivalent of buying a $350 lottery ticket whose top prize is a chance at a $75 lottery ticket.
The best case scenario with Dotel is that the Blue Jays can trade him in for prospects before having to deal with his buyout or offering arbitration. But as we saw during this year's deadline, that's much easier said than done. I just can't wrap my head around how this deal makes sense at all.

Stand-Up Paddling (SUP) is my new favorite core workout!
If you're not familiar with it, it's a combination of surfing and canoe paddling. It originated in Hawai'i (no wonder I love it!) a long time ago but has been rejuvenated over the past few years.
I have wanted to try this for the past few summers and never quite got around to it. I even put it on my Summer Things To Do List. So when Facebook Deals offered a 3-hour class for 2, I immediately bought it!
Layla had expressed some interest in trying it out as well, so I invited her to join me!
I signed us up for last Saturday's class that was hosted by Aquan Sports.
I was quite nervous on Friday night. I wasn't sure what to expect and was worried that I may not be able to do it. Perhaps I should have watched this video beforehand:
On Saturday morning I wasn't sure what to wear. We were told to just be "ready to swim." The weather was foggy and cold so I decided to wear a tankini (so I wouldn't fidget with my swim suit), board shorts and a long-sleeved running shirt (it's wicking, right?).
The site of the class was a mile from my house, but when I got there, Gary, the instructor decided to move it to Foster City – which is about 2 miles from my house. We were each given a personal flotation device (PFD); i.e. life vests. I zipped that thing up so tight there was no way I'd drown.
We were each assigned a surfboard according to our size…
And Layla and I were given our paddles.
Gary and Bob (his assistant) showed us how to use the paddle and told us that trick to paddling was to keep it vertical.
They had us start out by kneeling on the surfboards so we could get used to be on the water and get the hang of paddling.
I started out and picked up the paddling thing really quickly. I had no problem paddling in a straight line, kinda like how these videos demonstrate:
As I paddled, I kept going further away from the dock. Then I realized that I didn't know how to turn or stop — and went into panic mode.
I was out of sight of anyone else from our class and was heading straight towards a rock wall.
Apartments surround the lagoon that we were in and just as I was about to slam into the wall, a guy walked out of his apartment. He quickly assessed what was going on and just stood there watching the collision, as if in slow motion. Awesome. I'm just glad that he didn't whip out his camera and film the whole thing.
I can take pride in the fact that I didn't fall off the board when I rammed into the wall. Instead, I used the impact to turn the board and start paddling back to the group. It was about this time that Layla came looking for me and gave me tips on how to turn.
Eventually I figured out that to should have been taking wider strokes and/or back paddle (which makes the board turn faster). I paddled around for a bit longer until my knees couldn't take the kneeling anymore, so I paddled back to the dock to take a break.
By this time, everyone was successfully standing on their surfboard and were encouraging me to do so as well. But I was still afraid. So Bob put me on a wider surfboard…
and held the board steady for me while I got situated on it.
From the very moment he pushed me out, I felt totally comfortable. It was so much easier than standing. I felt balanced and steady the entire time.
I paddled around the lagoon and saw something floating in the water. I thought it was some kind of water creative and started to freak out. Turns out it was a dog fetching a stick that his owner threw in the water. LOL!
It was so much fun and relaxing to just paddle around and try the different paddling techniques. I practiced my turning and got much better at it.
Then the winds picked up and there a mini current – it definitely made it more challenging. I can't even imagine how much more challenging it must be in the ocean.
I found out that there are weekly open SUP sessions at the aquatic park near my house where I can rent the gear. I am definitely going to do this again – and again – and again. I am hooked!
PS Here's a good article (and the source of the videos) with more info on how to get started SUP.

Ricardo Guadalupe honors Floyd "Money" Mayweather on the ring
FermerRemember a 1,000,000 USD raised last year by Hublot benefiting to WBC charities for starting up the pension fund to help battle the needs of their constituents?
Las Vegas (Nevada), 3 May 2014 - What a moment! On Saturday night, to thank Hublot for its generosity, the World Boxing Council (WBC) invited Ricardo Guadalupe , CEO of Hublot on the ring, to congratulate Double World Champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather in front of a sold-out crowd of 16,268 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena .
Floyd "Money" Mayweather (46-0, 26 KOs) found himself in a serious dogfight, trying to fend off the super aggressive Marcos Maidana of Argentina and his wild overhand rights, but his accuracy was the difference in a majority decision victory to unify welterweight world titles.
Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, honored the champion with the "King
Power WBC" timepiece , on the ring, live on ShowTime.

Zone of Inhibition Growth
Name: Namita Status: Other Grade: Other Location: IN Country: United States Date: August 2008
What does it mean when you find isolated bacterial colonies growing in a zone of inhibition?
There is variety in every population. In bacteria some differ in their tolerance for antibiotic. Most of the bacteria within the zone of inhibition have been killed or are being repelled from growing in the area of the antibiotic, but the ones you see are resistant to it. If you were to take one of those colonies and repeat the experiment, you would probably see that is no zone of inhibition because all of the offspring of those original bacteria are genetically the same as the original.
They are probably genetic mutants that are resistant to the antibiotic or contaminating bacteria that are not sensitive to the antibiotic.

More reviews by finneganandmaggie
I've had this a while and I can never get the damn thing open when I want to. It's a metal tin and I must split my nails on to pry it open. I just used it prior to writing this and YUK! It smells rank! Was too tart and not a sweet lemon scent when I first bought it. I like a lemon smell like Watkins Lemon Cream hand lotion--more like a lemon meringue pie. This was more like lemon pledge or my lemon oil I put on my diningroom furniture, maybe Joy dish detergent? lol, enough with the smell.
I prefer nail oil. It's messier, but works better. I'd think Chapstick would work better than this stuff
More reviews by misslouisiana887
This works somewhat well on my painfully peeling cuticles. I have never been a "nail upkeep" person. So in return, I have painfully peeling cuticles that are really red. The scent of this Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream is quite strong but very "citrusy." The tin is cute, but hard to open.
I didnt see a difference at all. my cuticles were still dry and peeling off and hurting. Sally Hansen cuticle + nail oil works alot better.
I was given this as part of a gift set and I do like it. I like the lemon butter scent and I think it does a fine job at moisturizing my cuticles. This isn't a wow product for me, and I'm not sure that another cuticle cream isn't better. What I do like is the tin and the balmy-ness of the product. It's travel ready and lasts forever. I don't think I would run out to purchase this product (if I ever ran out of it) but I wouldn't turn down it down either.
I love it. My grandma let me borrow hers while we visted them. The scent won me over! It is amazingly lemonly. I hate painting my nails (to much effort and such) but I put this on every night and every morning and my nails look clean and healthy!
Great product. I keep this in a drawer near my sink so I can put it on after washing dishes. I love the smell too!
This cuticle cream works wonders for my cuticles and hangnails. This is one of my staples- it has a pleasant lemon scent and comes in a small travel-ready tin.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Amazing stuff. I actually don't use it on my cuticles - I don't really need it - but during the winter my knuckles get incredibly dry, cracked and flaky. I slathered on some of the cuticle cream at night and literally within a day, my knuckles were smooth and soft. A bit greasy, but what do you expect? Definitely worth it.
This is a great product to have around if you have dry, ragged cuticles like I do. I have been a fan of BB's lemon cuticle cream for years, and honestly, still have not made it through the sample size jar I got. So, this stuff will last ya forever, and make your fingers look and feel pretty and soft. Another bonus of this stuff is that it smells great!
I got this b/c I read on the nail board that some people use it to soften their cuticles so they can be cut with a cuticle trimmer a little easier. So that's why I bought it. My cuticles are in the way, gross, and I had always cut them dry and it looked messy. Plus I ended up with sores. I massage this into the cuticle and let it set for 10 mins or so then cut the cuticles off. Maybe if I just soaked my fingertips in hot soapy water it would do the same thing. The smell of this is repulsive--it does smell like lemon but like lemon pledge...uck.

The sacrum is a shield-shaped bony structure that is located at the base of the lumbar vertebrae and that is connected to the pelvis. The sacrum forms the posterior pelvic wall and strengthens and stabilizes the pelvis. Joined at the very end of the sacrum are two to four tiny, partially fused vertebrae known as the coccyx or "tail bone". The coccyx provides slight support for the pelvic organs but actually is a bone of little use.

Post-game breakdown: South Florida
UConn did what it had to do during its two-game home-stand.
Recruit Amida Brimah informed the UConn coaching staff Sunday night that he wants to be a Husky.
Brimah, a promising 6-foot-11, 210-pound center from Miami, gave a verbal commitment. He tweeted the news on Monday.
"I will be playing college basketball at the University of Connecticut#blessed," Brimah wrote.
UConn targeted Brimah, who attends Archbishop Carroll High School in Miami, during the recruiting process and made signing him a priority. He's considered a strong shot blocker but unpolished offensively.
Brimah, a native of Ghana, arrived in Connecticut Saturday night for an official visit. He'll attend UConn's game against Louisville tonight at the XL Center in Hartford.
He's the first recruit to commit to UConn since first-year coach Kevin Ollie signed a five-year contract in late December.
Brimah is the third member of next season's incoming recruiting class, joining guard Terrence Samuels ofSouth Shore High School in Brooklyn and forward Kentan Facey, a 6-9 forward from Long Island Lutheran.
Another frontcourt recruit will be in attendance tonight. Paschal Chukwa, a 7-footer from Fairfield Prep, will sit behind the UConn bench. He's a member of the Class of 2014.
In other news, Louisville moved to No. 1 in Monday's Associated Press top 25 poll.
The last time UConn faced a top ranked team it beat Texas, 88-74, in January 2010 in Storrs.
Also, junior Shabazz Napier was named to the weekly Big East honor roll.
UConn enters today's game sitting in fifth place in the American Athletic Conference.Tulsa (7-0) and SMU (7-1) are pulling away from the pack.
UConn has had issues putting teams away this season. It happened again on Thursday.
UConn begins an important two-game homestand tonight with an American Athletic Conference game against Central Florida.
After its latest damaging loss, UConn faces a long, hard road to qualify for the NCAA tournament.
UConn didn't lose its seventh game last season until March 8.The Huskies (9-6) are trying to avoid suffering their seventh defeat tonight at Stanford.
UConn suffered a major letdown against Tulsa on Tuesday night. Almost nothing went right for the Huskies, who were simply out-played and out-worked for the first time in recent weeks.
Remember when UConn's big conference games used to be against Syracuse and Georgetown?
UConn is heating up at the right time.The Huskies scored an important 62-56 victory over Cincinnati today before a sold-out XL Center crowd of 15,564.
It's too early in the season to place today's game in the must win category.
UConn is one of four American Athletic Conference teams still without a conference win heading into tonight's game against South Florida at the Sun Dome.
UConn worked out at the University of Tampa's beautiful Bob Martinez Athletics Center on Monday.
