The Civilian Emergency Response Corps is Governor Cuomo's statewide collaborative disaster response and preparedness initiative which aims to recruit "highly skilled" volunteers to assist in ongoing Sandy recovery efforts and to develop a network of volunteers who will be able to respond in future disasters. As part of this initiative, the Long Island Volunteer Center is joining two other Regional Volunteer Centers and two New York State Office for New Americans Opportunity Centers in New York City, Long Island, and the Mid-Hudson Region to recruit and engage individuals who have specialized skills that could help a community recover from a disaster to volunteer for projects in the communities affected by Sandy.
New York State needs skilled volunteers:
Tradespeople, Attorneys, Engineers, Social Workers, Accountants, Translators, Plumbers, Electricians, certain students, Insurance Experts, Truck Drivers, Medical Professionals and other skilled professionals who want to help their communities recover from Sandy and prepare for future disasters.

Report on developments in the situation of Roma refugees at the Midzitlija border, the "former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
Report, 11 August 2003
Background In January, 2003, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) informed the Roma refugees under the Temporary Humanitarian Assisted Persons Status (THAP) living in Shuto Orizari Collective Centre that the Centre would be definitely closed by 30 April, 2003, due to the sanitary conditions prevailing in the said Centre. As an alternative the refugees were offered private accomodation or accomodation in host families. In February, 2003, the UNICEF reassured the refugees that their children would continue to receive their education in the schools nearest to their new accomodation. The refugees were also informed that after 30 April, 2003, they would no longer be able to give the Centre as their address when renewing their THAP status. Several of the refugees refused to move and following the closure of the Centre, water and electricity were cut off. On 20 May, 2003, about 800 refugees from the Centre made their way by bus to the Greek border at Medzitlija, with the express aim of entering Greece and seeking asylum there. They were refused exit by the authorities of the F.Y. Republic of Macedonia and subsequently camped at the border crossing. The Government of the F.Y. Republic of Macedonia issued an information leaflet inviting the refugees to accept the private accomodation offered and committed itself to accept individual applications for obtaining the status of refugee, in accordance with a new law on asylum expected to be adopted in mid-July. This was followed by a statement by the European Union Presidency strongly encouraging the refugees to accept the offer of the government of the F.Y. Republic of Macedonia. Following their settlement at the border, the UNHCR provided them with tents, water and medical aid. Food supply was maintained at subsistence level to discourage the refugees from settling there permanently. During the two months that the refugees were camped in Medzitlija the UNHCR ensured a daily presence of its staff at the border in order to continue negotiations and counselling with the group and with individual families. During the last few days the refugees have started going back to Skopje and by today, 11 August, all the refugees have left the border. The roots of the problem Though this mass protest took place following the closure of the collective centre, the closure is not in itself the cause of the problem. In fact the refugees themselves had been complaining for months of the sanitary situation at the centre, and requested its closure and their relocation. In my view the causes are two: - the dispersal of the group in separate accomodation. The group feel safer and stronger living together in a collective centre, particularly as it ensures the continued exercise of the leadership.. Their dispersal was perceived as a way of rendering them vulnerable vis-a -vis the authorities. Moreover, some refugees with host families claimed to have experienced harassment from the latter. - The precarious situation of the refugees in the F.Y. Republic of Macedonia. Their THAP status is renewable every six months. Moreover, they are not allowed to work. This situation has now lasted four years and although all the refugees are grateful for having been given refuge, they feel that they and their children have no future in the F.Y. Republic of Macedonia and wish to enter the Schengen area. Council of Europe position Following the settlement of the refugees at the Medzitlija border a task force was set up in Skopje composed of representatives of the UNHCR, the OSCE, the European Commission, the European Union Presidency, NATO, US Embassy, the Council of Europe(Mr Jens Olander), and the EUMM. Meanwhile several Roma organisations alerted the Council of Europe of the situation at Medzitlija and a letter by Mr Rudko Kawczynski, Chairman of the Roma National Congress, of the 23 May, 2003 to the Secretary General prompted the Council of Europe to take a stand on the situation. By letter of 5 June, 2003, the Deputy Secretary General, Mrs Maud Buquicchio, replying to Mr Kawczynski, expressed her concern over the situation at the Medzitlija border and strongly recommended that the refugees take advantage of a new asylum law scheduled for adoption in July, and for that purpose should return to Skopje and avoid their current situation of illegality. On 26 June, 2003, the Deputy Secretary General wrote to the Permanent Representative of the F. Y. Republic of Macedonia to express her concern over the situation and to insist on the need for an early adoption of the new Asylum Law. The Commissioner for Human Rights, Mr Gil Robles, also expressed his concern to the Permanent Representative of the F.Y. Republic of Macedonia by letter of 5 June, 2003. Negotiations Efforts to convince the Roma refugees to return to Skopje went on unrelented throughout the months of June and July. The abovementioned Task Force met regularly and representatives of the UNHCR paid daily visits to the refugees. Mr Nicolae Gheorghe (OSCE/ODIHR) spent long periods at the camp using all his influence as a reputed Roma leader to convince the refugees to return to Skopje. On 7 June, 2003, the Coordinator for Roma/Gypsies, accompanied by Mrs Eleni Tsetsekou, visited the camp at Medzitlija and tried for several hours to convince the refugee leaders of the need to go back to Skopje, but to no avail. On the initiative of Mr Rudko Kawczynski, Chairman of the RNC, an informal meeting on the situation was held on 9 July, 2003, at the Council of Europe offices, between Roma leaders, representatives of the FY Republic of Macedonia (Permanent Representative, and representative of the Ministry of the Interior) and members of the Secretariat. In conclusion it was proposed to hold as soon as possible a restricted informal meeting of representatives of UNMIK, UNHCR,OSCE,the EU presidency, the Greek Embassy, the Roumanian Embassy, the authorities in Skopje (Ministry for Internal Affairs and Ministry for Foreign Affairs), and representatives of the refugees at the border . The meeting would be held in Skopje. The proposed informal meeting was held in Skopje on 23 July, 2003, under the chairmanship of Mr Branko Bojcevski, Director of the Bureau for public safety, at the Ministry of the Interior. Although they have had many regular meetings with different authorities and international organisations at the border,this was the first occasion for the representatives of the refugees to meet representatives of ministries, and of international organisations all together. The meeting lasted three hours (from 5pm to 8pm) and gave the representatives of the refugees the opportunity to give vent to their feelings of abandonment by the international community. In fact the meeting was psychologically beneficial to them as it reassured them that the international community did care. Following a brief introduction the chairman asked me, as responsible for the initiative, to open the discussion. My approach was humanitarian. I pleaded with the refugee leaders not to let women, children and babies in their present condition when they know full well that they could not cross the border. I insisted that they had no right to impose such conditions on others more fragile than them (all the leaders are men). Moreover, their action had accelerated the adoption of the asylum law and they should take advantage of it rather than placing themselves in a situation of illegality. The ensuing discussions covered the whole range of issues - the precarity of their legal status - the unfavourable conditions of accomodation with host families - the fear that the new asylum law (adopted on 16 July, 2003) would be used against them - the doubtful prospects of returning to Kosovo - their strong desire to get to Western Europe On their part, the authorities of the F.Y. Republic of Macedonia were prepared to examine all requests for asylum under the new law. A draft decision of the Ministry of the Interior gave the refugees five days to return to Skopje and apply for asylum, thereby regulating their stay in the country. The appropriate application forms had already been distributed at the camp . Mr Alexey Kojemiakov, Head of the Public Law Department, (Directorate General of Legal Affairs) stressed that the return of the refugees from the border following the goodwill proposal of the government to register would create a good basis for providing them with the status of asylum seekers. He feared however that the delay of five days imposed by the Ministry of the Interior to leave the border and apply for asylum was too short for 700 persons.* The UNHCR was prepared to transfer at short notice all the refugees back to Skopje. The refugees would be lodged for a few days in a collective centre and then transferred to private accomodation During the meeting the leaders of the refugees withdrew to discuss between them and on their return set out orally proposals for their return to Skopje. The proposals as presented sounded prima facie acceptable. The chairman invited them to put them in writing for examination by the authorities. The proposals in writing were distributed the following day. The refugee representatives carried on meeting alone or with Roma leaders only throughout 24 July, and then again together with the international organisations on 25 July, 2003. The main obstacle amongst the proposals was the private accomodation..The refugees continued insisting on collective accomodation and in default, independent accomodation, and not with a host family. Conclusions 1 There is no doubt that the refugees wanted to return to Skopje but did not want to lose face, following their action. They must be made to feel that they have acquired some advantage and that the international community cares. The Council of Europe initiative succeeded in achieving a breakthrough because it helped to show them that the international community does care. All future negotiations, concerning the follow-up to this crisis should take this fact into account. 2 The Council of Europe should continue to follow developments closely. It would be important for the Council of Europe and other organisations to meet in, say, six months time to assure the refugees that they have not been forgotten. Meanwhile the Task Force is continuing to meet weekly and it is important that the Council of Europe Representative in Skopje should attend these meetings. 3.The proposals of Mr Kojemiakov (DG. 1) to contribute to the work of the UNHCR concerning an expertise of the regulation pending the newly adopted law on asylum and the training of officials dealing with the applications of the asylum seekers should be followed up rapidly by DG 1. 4.The authorities of the F.Y. Republic of Macedonia have so far shown remarkable restraint in dealing with the problem. They have tolerated for over two months hundreds of refugees to camp illegally at the border, providing them with water and medical facilities. They have constantly collaborated with the UNHCR, the EU and the Council of Europe in finding a peaceful solution . At both the meeting on 9 July, 2003 togerther with the Permanent Representative of the F.Y. Republic of Macedonia and a representative of the Ministry of the Interior and at the meeting on 23 July, 2003, I was most favourably impressed by the tolerant and friendly attitude of the authorities towards the refugees and their genuine concern to end the crisis amicably. I strongly suggest that the Secretary General or the Deputy Secretary General should express to the authorities of the F.Y. Republic of Macedonia our satisfaction with the way they have dealt with the crisis.
________________________________________________ *In a private conversation the Director informed us that the five day limit was only intended to push the refugees to take action. By lunchtime, the refugees had agreed that they would go into private accomodation which they would visit beforehand together with UNHCR representatives. By today all the refugees are back in Skopje and are being relocated. About 200 of them are in a transit centre for a few days, awaiting final relocation.

I don't consider this product to be a lip gloss. The color is nice. The shine is ok. It's not a glamourous gloss. It does not last as a lip gloss nor color. Basically, it is just a fancy lip balm. So, it should be under the category of lip treatments. If it were an actual lip gloss, I'd love it. But this product is just carmex with a little color in it...
I really like this lipgloss. Because it is VERY moisturizing and gives that perfect dewy sheen to the lips where it looks like a thousand liitle water droplettes are shining from your lips. The color can be overwhelmingly orange if you apply to much, so i wouldn't recommend it for cool toned people, but if you use just a little bit it really warms up your face. And it has a nice minty flavor without the tingle and dryness that other glosses with mint give. It looks really great layered over my clinique lipstick in Bronze Leaf.
I have dark Asian skin and this color works wonders for me. It looks completely natural with the slightest bit of color. I would have never tried it because the color looked odd, but the Aveda lady suggested it bc/of my skin tone. She was totally right! It stays on without being too sticky and gives my lips an awesome, hydrating shine. It's a little pricey, but I will definitely repurchase it.
I love this product! The gloss is a pumpkin color in the tube. It applies in a thick, smooth, consistent layer and looks like a warm, sheer, deep peachy color with a hint of brown on my lips, which is great for warm complexions with yellow undertones. The gloss has a moisturizing, but not wet, texture to it. It is not sticky at all, which I like. It contains lots of natural ingredients including fruit extracts and nourishing oils like Olive and Jojoba, which keep my lips conditioned and soft for hours. I haven't had any flaking or dry lips while using this product.
The tube is a generous .5 fl. oz. size and its slant tip applicator is very easy to use. The gloss has a spicy cinnamon scent and a slightly tingly feel to it, which is a great pick-me-up. The scent and tingle don't linger on too long, though, and become distracting. The outside packaging was made from 100% post-consumer materials, so this is another impressively eco-conscious Aveda product. The cost was $13.50, which is not out of line with department store lip glosses, but this is a larger tube than a lot of department store products.
The only comment I have that brings this great product down one lippie is that although it lasts longer than most glosses, I wish it lasted longer. The color starts out shiny and the gloss a deep rich color, but as time goes on, after 2 or 3 hours or so, the color and gloss gradually fade away (but the moisturizing lingers on).

I don't use canola oil so I subbed it for 1/3 stick of butter. I would have us..."

US should not aid UNITA
PRESIDENT Reagan and Secretary of State George Shultz are contemplating covert aid to UNITA, the guerrilla movement that battles the government for control of Angola. Congress is considering $27 million or more of overt assistance to UNITA. Both initiatives dangerously undermine the interests of the United States in Angola and the entire southern African region. Insurgents of the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola, or UNITA, have been battling the Angolan Army since the mid-1970s and now dominate about 40 percent of the country. Since 1979 they have been backed mainly by South Africa, and also by Zaire, Morocco, and some Arab states. South African air cover, logistical and refueling support, and, at times, direct military intervention have been critical in the growth of UNITA as a formidable fighting machine.
The Soviet Union and Cuba helped the present government of Angola assume power in 1976. Their material and technical support for Angola's Army and Air Force prevents a UNITA conquest of the country; earlier this year a Soviet- and Cuban-backed Angolan offensive almost succeeded in destroying UNITA's capital. Since then a Soviet-supplied arms buildup in Angola has continued, and another assault on UNITA is predicted.
The congressional sponsors of overt aid may believe that giving funds to UNITA would be an anti-Marxist, anti-Cuban act; the Reagan administration believes the same and equates the cause of UNITA with the free Afghanistan movement. In any case, crucial questions can be asked about backing UNITA.
Support for UNITA is support for South Africa. To give aid and comfort to a South African surrogate at precisely the moment that the US (and its major banks and industries) is attempting to persuade that embattled white power to dismantle apartheid makes no sense. Doing so undoes any good that is beginning to flow from the Reagan administration's gradual deemphasis on the now discredited policy of constructive engagement.
Assisting UNITA may appear to have global foreign policy benefits: It shows the USSR that we can help the enemies of its clients. But, and the but is big, helping UNITA escalates regional conflict unnecessarily. The Soviets want the Angolan Marxist government to remain in power and remain steadfastly Marxist, against the African trend. Helping UNITA makes the Angolan government more dependent upon Soviet (and Cuban) backing. Helping UNITA hardly rewards those in the Angolan gove rnment who have tried to turn to the West and have welcomed better relations with the US.

Yesterday, a family member had an appointment with a specialist and the outcome was that scleroderma is suspected.
After doing some research, I have some thoughts about myself. For the last 3 years I have had a terribly iritated scalp and under the skin nodules all down my spine, especially during the winter months. It has been treated with steroid ointment on the spine, a scalp lotion and special shampoos daily,and lots of moisturizer all over my body 4 times a day. My fingers have gone white a few times recently and I'm wondering if an irritated scalp and nodules along the spine are ever symptoms of scleroderma, as well. She has the white fingers and toes and numbness as well as many digesive problems. Thanks in advance for any info

Putting Organizations Through the Smell Test
I'm sure we all have a favorite holiday smell. Often it's from a favorite food with a rich aroma. But we've all had a time when we thought the smell signaled something wrong even before we'd sat down to eat.
After working with nonprofits for many years, I've realized that you can tell when something's not right through a quick smell test. I sniff the air for signs that things need to change the first time I enter the CEO's office.
There are some variations on the smell test. Here are some I us…

Your best protection as an independent contractor is the contract itself. Write your own contract and customize it for each project. Make sure it states that you're an independent contractor who will be using your own equipment, setting your own hours within guidelines established by the hiring party, and that you'll be responsible for handling your own taxes. Specify where the work is to be performed, how often you need to report to the hiring company and, of course, when and how much you'll get paid.
The contract is a good place to add some legal protections. Who's liable if things go wrong? For instance, Beverley Williams, a public speaker and president of the American Association of Home-Based Businesses, states in her contracts that proofreading is the responsibility of the client. "I can't be responsible for proofing my own work," she says, noting that clients who hire her can either do their own proofing or pay her to hire a proofreader. "I've had cases [to do desktop publishing] where the client missed something, the material went to print with errors, and they wanted me to redo it."
Especially for major contracts, it's better to run your contract past your lawyer initially than to pay later to fix problems. For smaller contracts, your standard computer-customized contract should be enough, but consider having your lawyer look at the standard contract to make sure you've covered all your bases.
If you experience harassment or discrimination, remember that your status as an independent contractor precludes you from winning a lawsuit under employment laws, so you'd be better off not suing. "It could harm a business owner to sue a company when the protection is nonexistent," Schacher says, especially if word gets out you're an independent contractor who sues clients over perceived wrongs. "You could get blackballed right out of the industry." A better bet: Keep your head up, and look for other clients.

Diver airlifted out of Exmouth Marina - updated
Posted: November 18, 2012
|A male diver who was airlifted out of Exmouth Marina via air ambulance and flown straight to the Hyperbaric Medical Centre in Plymouth earlier today is expected to make a full recovery.
Staff at the centre told thisisdevon that the diver was currently receiving treatment in a recompression chamber recovering from decompression illness, commonly known as the bends. The condition usually arises if a diver surfaces too quickly, but that seems to not have been the case.
"He was diving near a wreck off Exmouth and seems to have been without any fault in the situation. Some times divers can get decompression sickness even though they ascend to the surface in the timely way they are supposed to," Dr. Sally Simmons from the Hyperbaric Medical Centre said.
The Hyperbaric Medical Centre does research in diving diseases. It focusses on the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of diving diseases and other medical problems.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves patients breathing 100% oxygen while inside a pressurised treatment chamber.
The flight was handled by Devon Air Ambulance Trust.

Clobazam belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines (BEN-zo-di-AZ-ah-peens). Clobazam is effective against all seizure types, although tolerance (lessening of the effect from the same dose) may limit its long-term usefulness for some patients.
It is used mainly as an add-on (adjunctive) medication for primary generalized and partial epilepsies but it may also be effective when used alone. In addition, some doctors use it to treat seizures that worsen with a woman's menstrual cycle.
Currently, Clobazam is not approved for use in the United States. In April 2004, Ovation Pharmaceuticals announced that it had arranged to buy the North American rights to clobazam (Frisium) and planned to obtain FDA approval for sale in the United States. This process is likely to take 3 to 5 years. Your doctor's office may arrange to get this medication for you from Canada, the Caribbean or Europe. At the NYU Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, we frequently prescribe and obtain clobazam for our patients.
The side effects of clobazam are generally mild and usually disappear if the dose is reduced. The side effects most often reported are:
If these problems do not go away within several days, or are really bothersome, call the doctor. Sometimes the doctor can help with these side effects by changing the prescription:
No one should stop taking clobazam or change the amount or time of taking the medication without their doctor's guidance. Suddenly stopping the medication can be associated with repetitive breakthrough seizures.
People who have just started taking clobazam (or who have just started taking a larger amount) should be careful during activities that require their full attention to ensure that they don't become too sleepy on the new or higher dosage.
Most people who take clobazam have either no or mild side effects that generally disappear within a short time without lasting harm. Serious reactions, such as a drug-related skin rash, are extremely rare. Call your doctor right away if you notice a rash after starting clobazam.
One of the great dangers in using medications like clobazam is tolerance, or lessening of the effect from the same dose over time. Therefore, there is a tendency to increase the dose as tolerance develops. To a certain extent, this is necessary, but adverse effects may be increased more than seizure control. If the dosage is increased gradually over a long period, subtle changes in personality (such as irritability, depression, or decreased motivation) or problems such as impaired memory may go unnoticed or be considered normal for that person.
High doses sometimes are prescribed for children and adults, especially those with developmental disabilities. Problems with thinking and behavior may be the result. If the dose has been increased gradually over many months or years, it can be hard to separate the effects of clobazam (or other benzodiazepines) from the effects of other medications, seizures, and other neurological and psychological disorders.
An important concern when people with epilepsy take clobazam or other benzodiazepines is the risk of "withdrawal seizures" or increased, repetitive or more severe seizures if the medicine is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal symptoms usually begin upon stopping the medicine and can last for up to 8 to 10 days. Early symptoms might be agitation, anxiety, restlessness or even fast heart rate, though seizures might begin immediately as well. The longer the person has been taking clobazam and the higher the dose, the greater the tolerance and therefore the higher the risk of withdrawal seizures. Even small, gradual dose reductions can temporarily increase seizure activity, but your doctor may suggest these changes since the long-term decrease in effects like drowsiness and depression often makes this worthwhile.
Besides increased seizure activity, other symptoms of withdrawal include:
Tell your doctor if you notice any of these symptoms when your dosage is being reduced.
Clobazam and other benzodiazepines are the medicines that are most likely to cause psychological dependence. When someone takes a benzodiazepine at a certain dosage for more than 2 to 4 weeks, the body (or specifically, the brain's receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA) becomes accustomed to it. Then if a dose is missed or reduced, a withdrawal process starts, characterized by:
Taking another pill relieves all of these symptoms, confirming the person's belief that he or she "needs" the medication. This is a very dangerous cycle, since long-term use can cause long-lasting changes in the brain's GABA receptors that lead to significant problems such as impaired cognition, decreased motivation, and depression. In this setting, rapid dose reduction can cause severe symptoms of anxiety, insomnia, and illness, as well as seizures.
In many of these cases, very gradual reduction of the benzodiazepine (often over many months or years) can lead to a dramatic improvement in attention, concentration, memory, and mood without worsening the seizures, insomnia, or anxiety for which the medication was originally prescribed. This gradual reduction must be performed under the guidance of a doctor.

To understand all the info above, check out our Site Facts Glossary.
Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Hairy Babes offers a non-exclusive compilation of more than 1,800 image galleries featuring super sexy, yet hairy babes in spreads and toy play scenes. You'll also find a bit of hardcore here and other niche themes like pregnant, BBW, and more. I guess that's the advantage to a non-exclusive site, they can source their material from all over. About $25 bucks per month gives access to the current 1,800 or so image galleries inside.
Unique Content. It's not often you see this much and this kind of variety og hairy content all in one place. This may be an image only site, but inside there are redheads, Indian girls, BBWs and everything else in between, all hairy, and all showing off their pussy for your pleasure. There is even some hardcore, armpit close ups, lesbian and more.
Other Good Stuff:
Non-Exclusive Content. While there is an upside to the variety you gain from non-exclusive material, there's also the plain fact that it's non-exclusive. Certainly it's possible to find these image galleries all over the place online and even likely for free.
Quality Ranges. This also goes with the reality of a non-exclusive site. There isn't any consistency between the images, their sharpness, color quality and even sizing. There is a lot of older material mixed in and some image galleries just don't look so hot.
Minor Negatives:
Some good variety of hairy chicks, but a mish-mash of non-exclusives overall.
It's not very often anymore we see sites with all non-exclusive material unless its a DVD site. But what Hairy Babes has going for them is that it offers a unique niche them on its own. Overall though, this truly is a mish-mash of image content featuring hairy chicks of all types, sizes, ages, etc. While the variety is there, so its the inconsistencies in quality. I'd think the price of admission would be cheaper for something like this, but maybe it's not that easy to find so much hairy content online?

A neighbor's parents passed away and my neighbor is clearing out his parents' house. In their guest bedroom that have a complete Drexel Touraine French Provincial bedroom set that they're willing to sell to me. Apparently it hasn't even been used in the past 15 years or so. Its circa 1950s-1960s, and from what they tell me it is solid, well-made stuff. Does anyone have any opinions on the Drexel Touraine? Is it well-made furniture? |

It is extremely well made furniture and is still sought after and collectible. My husband and I just made a 1000 mile move with the 9 drawer dresser and it made the move without any problems, drawers still slide easily and the body held up perfectly. If you like the style it is well worth purchasing and while it already is at least 50 years old I would bank that it has another 50 years of use in it. I have included a site that has a good deal of info. |

I, too, like a heavier cornbread. I seem to remember saving a recipe from a restaurant, that the requestor specifically like b/c it was "heavy". That aside, I usually just use more cornmeal and less flour - maybe 1/2 cup flour and 1-1/2 cups cornmeal. My mom called hers johnnycake - it was heavier and we ate it warm with milk and sugar. |

I found a recipe today in the local newspaper called "Sweet Wet Cornbread"...and I am going to try this!! 3 cups of water --------- Put 3 cups water and stick of butter in pot...bring to heavy boil...In large bowl use whisk to combine cornmeal, flour and sugar...In small bowl, beat 3 eggs, beat in milk...Pour in dry ingredients...Using whisk, mix up very well...Then add milk and egg mixture...stir til lumps are gone...pour into greased 9 x 13" pan...Bake at 400 degrees for one hour (????? that seems like a long time!!)....cool completely before removing from pan. I'm going to try it...will let you know if this is what I am looking for! Janice |
Janice, Let me know how it turns out. I love cornbread but have never made one with that much liquid or with water either. I have Sol's Honey Cornbread Muffins in the oven as I'm typing this. Sol's Honey-Corn Muffins 4 tablespoons melted butter Preheat oven to 400şF. In a bowl whisk the flours, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring gently with the whisk and stop just as soon as there's not a trace of flour left. I use a greased, large muffin pan for these, so this recipe will yield 6 big muffins. Sol |
Heavy cornbread should be made with all meal and no flour. The more shortening you use the less crumbly it will be. |
- Posted by Terri_PacNW (My Page) on Thu, Mar 3, 05 at 14:45
I always a few squirts of honey in my bread. Another "nice" change is to swirl a bit of raspberry jam through the batter. Mmmmmmmm |
This is the only corn bread I have made for many years. It is "heavy" and so I am! This is absolutely the most dense and delicious corn bread ever! CORN BREAD 1/2 cup soft butter Combine butter and sugar. Add eggs, cheese and creamed corn and stir to combine. Combine dry ingredients and mix to combine. Pour into a greased 9x13 pan and bake at 300 degrees for about 1 hour. |
I have made this cornbread for a long time and it is really good. 2 eggs place 2 tb canola oil in large cast iron skillet in 450 oven beat eggs, pour in milk, add dry sifted ingredients Bake 25-30 min or until golden brown. |

Thanks Guys! I'm saving all of these receipes. Corn Fed Gal Here! I will add diced green chillies! |
this is cornbread from Georgia ... it should be cooked in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. NO sugar. NO flour. Use buttermilk. Make sure the skillet is smoking hot before you pour the batter. If you're lucky the batter will push the shortening up and over the outside edge forming a delicious 1/2" crust all the way around. Southern Corn Bread Source: White Lily. 2 cups White Lily cornbread mix (white, self-rising) Preheat well-greased 8 or 10" iron skillet in 425°F oven. Blend all ingredients, stirring just until moistened. The batter should be lumpy and rather thin. Pour into HOT skillet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes for 10" skillet or 25 to 30 minutes for 8" skillet or 8x8x2' pan. Serve hot with butter. White Lily mix is not avilable in my area. If you can't import the real stuff from the deep South, substitute a stone-ground, self-rising WHITE cornbread mix. Better yet, order the real stuff from www.whitelily.com |

@$ID/NormalParagraphStyle:Town to close
bridge during fix
GUILFORD — The Select Board in Guilford has decided to close a bridge over Route 5 while it is being replaced rather than allowing restricted traffic flow across the span during replacement.
The Guilford board voted 2-1 in favor of the recommendation of the Vermont Agency of Transportation to close the bridge for about a month.
State officials maintain closing the bridge will reduce costs and shorten the length of the project.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported that the 88-year-old concrete bridge, which carries an average of 2,400 vehicles daily over Broad Brook, is too narrow and is structurally deficient.
Route 5 traffic would be detoured onto Interstate 91, while a separate detour would be made available for bicyclists who cannot use the highway.MORE IN This Just InStaff Report Full Story -

Limit Delray Beach Downtown Overdevelopment
Conditional Use incentives, allowing for greater density and taller buildings in the downtown area of Delray Beach have been overused, and represent a threat to the infrastructure (roads, bridges, parking) and quality of life in the City.
Please sign this petition to support the Planning & Zoning Department's proposed targeted amendments to current land use regulations which limit conditional use incentives by: 1) restricting residential unit density to 30 units per acre in the core downtown and 2) redefining areas where building heights in excess of four stories can be allowed, on the principle that taller structures be located away from adjacent residential neighborhoods.

CAFE TACUBA By Marty Lipp Published September 2, 2005 Un ViajeUniversal
No band expresses the range of Mexican alternative music better than Café Tacuba. The chameleon-like band (with a singer who changes his name for each album) mixes folkloric with contemporary styles and does it with intelligence, heart and an ever-present wit. While the group of former art-school buddies had "cult band" written all over it from the get-go, it has become one of Rock en Espanol's biggest acts and this CD/DVD combo captures their live 15th anniversary show in their hometown of Mexico City. On the first two CDs, the band whips through its big hits, often with the crowd singing along (annoying as that can be for us home listeners). On the third CD, the band does a medley of hits by other Rock en Espanol bands. The fourth disc is a DVD reprising the group's hits on stage. The set is a reminder of just how much great music the band has compiled over 15 years. The live versions don't really add that much; the studio versions are more polished and sizzle with the same energy. This release is probably best for fans, while newcomers should wade in at the shallow-priced end with the group's earlier single albums.

History of Neurosurgery
The neurosurgical service continued to grow, and by 1940, when the American Board of Neurological Surgery was incorporated, the Yale program had trained five more neurosurgeons. Within the next few years, the American Board of Neurological Surgery defined what constituted an accredited residency program and a 3-year training residency was established at New Haven Hospital. As the program grew, German received recognition for his clinical and academic accomplishments. He became Secretary-Treasurer of the American Board of Neurological Surgery and President of the Harvey Cushing Society (now the American Association of Neurological Surgeons) and was chosen as honored guest by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. Neurosurgery remained in the Department of Surgery but became a separate section with its own clinics, inpatient ward, and operating room. The Yale training program was combined with Hartford Hospital in the 1940s. Under the direction of Drs. William Scoville and Benjamin Whitcomb, Yale residents gained extensive experience with all forms of spinal surgery.
During the 1940s, a sufficient number of surgeons specialized in the practice of neurosurgery to support a publication devoted to this emerging subspecialty. The concept of a journal devoted to neurosurgery was initiated by Dr. John Fulton, a neurophysiologist at Yale, who in collaboration with Spurling, McKenzie, Craig, and Horrax, published the Journal of Neurosurgery in 1944. Eisenhardt became the journal's first Managing Editor, a position that she held until 1965.
The medical community in New Haven grew significantly during this time. To accommodate the need for additional hospital beds, construction of the Memorial Unit, a dedicated community physician inpatient facility within Yale-New Haven Medical Center, was completed in 1951. The clinical neurosurgery service at Yale solicited expertise from community neurosurgeons committed to neurosurgical resident training. These individuals continue to provide important clinical training. Dr. Lycurgus Davey (Clinical Professor) devoted his entire career to clinical teaching and resident education at the Yale program.
In 1967, German retired and his successor, Dr. William Collins, was appointed as Cushing Professor of Surgery Neurosurgery and Chief of Neurosurgery. The New Haven Hospital was now formally affiliated with Yale Medical School and renamed the Yale-New Haven Hospital. Under the direction of Collins, the residency training program took a different direction with the development of programs that were designed to permit neurosurgical residents to prepare for a career not only in clinical neurosurgery but also in original basic investigation in neuroscience related to neurosurgery. The concept was based on the development of subspecialty areas in neurosurgery with integrated programmatic laboratory investigation. The first program was an integrated laboratory and clinical program for the study of chronic pain. The investigative aspects of that program began with Collins' seminal work on C fibers, and it remains in the Section of Neurosurgery to the present. The next program was devoted to neuroendocrine study that focused on pituitary tumors. During this time, collaborative research was developed with the Section of Endocrinology and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. A joint pituitary tumor clinic was organized, and a considerable portion of the investigative research was developed in combination with the laboratory staff of the three departments. The principles of collaborative research between Neurosurgery and other clinical and research departments within the University was started by Collins and continues to be a fundamental method for maintaining the high standards for resident education and academic growth.
In 1968, it was apparent that the volume of cases at Yale-New Haven Hospital, including spinal surgery, was more than adequate for a residency training program and with the development of the Medical School at the University of Connecticut, plans were made to separate the two programs with Hartford Hospital affiliated with the University of Connecticut and the Yale program affiliated with the Yale-New Haven and West Haven Veterans Administration Hospital. Residents from both the Yale and Hartford programs shared rotations until 1978, when the two became separate programs. In 1973, a dedicated Neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit was opened at Yale-New Haven Hospital for critical care management of patients with neurological disease and trauma. This unit, in part, was organized to develop the next two subspecialty programs, surgery for epilepsy and acute management of traumatic spinal cord injury. During this time, pediatric neurosurgery was developed at Yale under the direction of Dr. Joan Venes, and the National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Study was established under the direction of Collins and Dr. Michael Bracken (Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health).
Dr. Dennis Spencer was appointed acting and then Chief of the Section of Neurosurgery in 1987. Under Spencer's leadership, the Section of Neurosurgery continued with the development of programs in epilepsy surgery, neuro-oncology, neurovascular surgery, pediatric neurosurgery, and functional/stereotactic neurosurgery. In December of 1996, the Section of Neurosurgery was granted Departmental status and in January of 1997 Dr. Dennis Spencer was appointed the first Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery.

People with pots in drawers, how to do you store the lids? Pics?
posted by: nomorebluekitchen on 01.04.2009 at 09:08 pm in Kitchens Forum I love my pot drawers but I haven't come up with a great way to store the lids. Mine can't stand completely upright, so I'm especially interested in lid storage where the lids can be at an angle.
Share pictures and product information if you have it. Thanks, Anita NOTES: KEEP....may use when I see how things work

RE: Anyone with the Black Cambria Leather (Antique) granite? (Follow-Up #22)
posted by: hest88 on 01.12.2008 at 03:48 pm in Kitchens Forum Here's a close-up of our Cambrian Black antique (at the seam). Echoing the love, as well. From a distance it has a lovely matte black appearance (we were one of those who would have gone for soapstone but wanted something harder and that we wouldn't have to oil), and close up it has a nice bumpy feel and a more mottled look.

RE: What's the best stainless steel cleaner? (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: lascatx on 01.23.2008 at 10:49 am in Appliances Forum The only SS in my kitchen I have had any issues with cleaning has been my refrigerator (mine's Thermador). I don't know if it was because I used something different that then installers did or if it's just the nature of that finish.
Whatever it is -- I discovered my solution by accident. I had a sample of stainless polish. I have no idea where it was hiding since the reno but recently discovered it. I decide to try it on my ccoktop and hood, but it was very fluid instead of the thicker polish I was expecting and I poured half the sample bottle onto my cloth. It was way more than I could use there, so I went over to the fridge and gave it a try. It not only cleaned the front easier than anything, no streaks, but the clean has lasted longer than anything else I've tried. They say you can use it on wood, leather, plexiglass, Corian, Formica and other surfaces as well as stainless. The stuff is Signature Polish and it is made for Subzero and Wolf. You have to order it from them (I searched and searched to try to find it), and the minimum order is 2 bottles at about $16 each. Their toll free number is 877-376-5474. I can't vouch for it on other surfaces yet, but I'm thrilled to have someting easier to use on my hunk o' fridge. It has been two weeks since I last did the fridge and all I have done is wipe some sticky off the handles. It looks as good as it did freshly polished. Oh yes, and my dog doesn't lick it off the door(rendering the whole cleaning job useless) like she did the next best product I had used. LOL NOTES: <none>

RE: What's the best stainless steel cleaner? (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: whenzuc on 01.22.2008 at 09:34 pm in Appliances Forum There is an article in House Beautiful from a couple of months ago that addresses the maintainance of stainless steel. The article recommends a wax based aerosol spray called Stainless Steel cleaner/Polish from a company called Ball (Drillspot.com) Use it once or twice a week to keep serface clean and free from finger prints as this adds a thin layer of wax.Fingerprints can easily be wiped away. Didn't try it yet, as my kitchen has not been started yet.

It is Easy-Off Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish. The best features I like are ease of application (spray), streak free and no strong chemical smell. Purchased at "Smart & Final".

RE: Good places to buy botanical prints? (Follow-Up #9)
posted by: johnmari on 01.09.2008 at 10:07 pm in Home Decorating Forum You don't need to spend the money for professional framing unless you really want to. I get custom-cut frames and mats online and assemble them myself, which is ridiculously fast and easy (they provide instructions if you need them), and it saves a LOT of money. For wood frames I really like Franken Frames, for metal and composite frames and mats I order from Graphik Dimensions. Both companies offer free sample cuts of frames and mats, which I strongly recommend you order before making your final selection.
As for the prints themselves, I've been very happy with purchases from Global Gallery. (They're having a 35%-off sale until 1/14, too.) Their prints are nice quality IMO, not "posterish". NOTES: <none>

RE: Cleaning old wood furniture (Follow-Up #6)
posted by: cattknap on 02.03.2008 at 04:32 pm in Home Decorating Forum I have lots of antique mahogany furniture - I posted this process several years ago on HGTV Decorating forum and lots of people have tried it and had wonderful results - there was a recent thread with pictures.
1. Wash piece with Murphy's Oil Soap, thoroughly dry 2. Use finest grit steel wool and rub in the direction 3. Wash again with Murphy's Oil Soap & let dry. 4. This is the most amazing of the steps - Use 5. Use Howards Feed N' Wax as a final step following I guarantee you will be amazed by who well this regimen works. Make sure you don't wax your furniture more than a couple times a year - otherwise, you end up building up wax and dirt. Just dust and buff lightly with a soft, dry cloth. Here is a picture of a really horrible old chest I bought years ago - the wood was completely dead and dull looking - it was filthy and my husband could not understand why I bought it....after following the process listed above, here is how it turned out. Good luck! NOTES: <none>

Egypt: Egyptian anti-war activists arrested and tortured
Emergency legislation used to suppress free expression.
Dossier 19: Contemporary Islamisms and Feminisms in Egypt
Islamisms, or diverse representations of political Islam, have become very difficult to ignore and even more difficult to categorize and explain satisfactorily. This is particularly the case when addressing a western audience, which is unfamiliar not only with the multifaceted aspects of Islam, but also with the crucial role Islamic faith plays, in the everyday lives of Muslim people.
Willy Claes, the Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), gave Western misperceptions and misrepresentations of Islam and Islamisms a new twist.
Dossier 14-15: From Confiscation to Charges of Apostasy
Freedom of Academic Research
CHRLA is greatly alarmed by the Cairo Court of Appeals ruling of June 14, 1995, which ordered the divorce of Nasr Hamed Abu-Zeid (the Cairo University professor) from his wife, Dr. Ibthal Younis, on the grounds that he was an apostate because of the opinions contained in his published research.
The argumentation of the ruling raises problems related to freedom of thought, religious interpretation and belief, and the privacy of family relationships.
Dossier 5-6: Impact of Fanatic Religious Thought: A Story of a Young Egyptian Muslim Woman
An Egyptian man had been very strict with his daughter, only permitting her to work outside the home on condition that she be completely isolated from men. She found that 'ideal' job. Many months later, in the spring of 1988, this same man brought his daughter to the office of Nawal Al Saadawi to see her in her capacity as a psychiatrist. The following is based on the young woman's true story.
Egypt: Sadd Eddin Ibrahim has been freed
