Deca Restaurant + Bar
Set in the 12th-floor lobby of the Ritz-Carlton, Deca Restaurant + Bar opened in 2010 and offers contemporary American cuisine in an Art Deco-inspired dining room. The restaurant is designed in warm gold tones with plush banquettes, contemporary art, and vibrant flowers, all surrounding a large central fountain. At polished wooden tables, diners enjoy signature dishes from executive chef Mark Payne, such as the fruits de mer seafood tower and steak frites with truffle mushrooms. Patrons can also visit for brunch, afternoon tea, or handmade cocktails in the adjacent bar, where glass walls offer views of the John Hancock Center.
From the From the May 2008 Food & Wine Go List
Aside from Peking duck, no dish is more beloved among Beijingers than the hot pot, a Chinese version of fondue. Waiters bring high-quality cuts of thinly sliced beef for diners to dunk into the individual pots of boiling broth and then dip into a sesame sauce, along with superfresh vegetables like shiitake and enoki mushrooms, lotus root and Chinese cabbage. The beaded-curtain banquettes conceal everyone from families to Chinese celebrities.
We loved: Hot pot with buckwheat noodles.

I see recipes with it and without it. The Blue Book doesn't have a recipe and I don't trust random recipe sites on the internet. Can I get an approved recipe?
Leslie |
Follow-Up Postings:
You should book mark NCHFP. They are the most trusted site for canning recipes on the internet. They have both strawberry jam with liquid pectin and strawberry jam with powdered pectin. |
Here is a link that might be useful: NCHFP - Jams and Jellies
The Blue Book has a couple of recipes - what edition are you looking at? I think the one(s) with pectin may not use lemon juice (I'd have to look) but I have made the "Heirloom Strawberry Preserves" w/o pectin and it uses lemon juice. Both batches came out rather stiff, goes to show you don't need pectin to get it to gel! I'm waiting for local strawberries to try again. |
Oh, sorry, I see you said jelly not jam. But I bet you could follow the recipe I mentioned above (or any other for preserves) and just strain the juice out before letting it sit overnight to make jelly. |
The NCHFP had jelly recipes too. That should've been the first place I looked. Thanks for the help! Leslie |

If you're asking if strawberry jelly needs lemon juice for safety, no. Strawberries tend to be lower in pectin and some strawberry recipes do call for lemon to increase the natural pectin level and improve the set. Strawberries differ regionally and by season; it can be difficult to determine which recipe will work best with your particular growing conditions, but either way is just fine as far as risk is concerned.

My Lomo Story by Babo
"It all started in a beautiful winter morning with the sun shining and snow...", wait! That's the way the horror novel I'm planning to write someday is going to begin! Actually my lomo story began in a casual Summer afternoon with an overcast sky! I went to a friend's store for lunch (Quintal Bioshop) and I found there a Holga exhibition made by a friend of hers. The pictures caught my eyes and I was completely awestruck by them. She explained to me what kind of camera was used to make those pictures and she told me of the existence of the lomographic embassy. Still thinking on those marvelous pictures I went out of the store and went to a cash machine and I saw the Lomoférias sign (Lomoférias 2008), and decided to give it a try, so I went to the embassy and bought my first lomo… a fisheye 2! -

My Lomo Story by cyanwater and ymiij
Two lomo enthusiasts, who felt bored after shooting each other, decided to look for new friends. They hunted around for a local lomo community but to no avail. To satisfy their insatiable hunger for excitement, it was apparent they had to do something about it. Nine days later, on the 27th October 2006, Lomotion Singapore was born. Within months, more and more kids were added to the happy family. They all share the same aim of spreading the love for lomography.


text:
About Me I have done B.Tech from IIT Kharagpur and am currently employed as a Team Leader in a software firm.
Cricket has molded my way of thinking. You would find me giving analogies with cricketing situations to explain almost any problem, even at workplace. I am the kind of person who is always playing shots with whatever he has in his hands, be it a pen, broom or a snake.
Until the 1991 world cup, my parents used to be concerned whether I would ever be able to wake up and see the Sun rise. Their fears were laid to rest when their sleeps were disturbed regularly at 3AM with cheers of fours and sixes.
The only worthwhile thing my left hand can do is to bowl spin with Tennis-ball. It's been observed that my happiness-index is ten percent higher whenever there is a cricket series in progress. Besides gorging on the display of skills, I enjoy munching on the statistics, graphs and analysis that follow a cricket match.
My blog http://brownphantom.blogspot.com has more than 70 registered users. The content is comprised of short stories, observations and analysis.
I am the most fanatic RCB fan because... I believe that being a fan needs a combination of emotional as well as intellectual reasons. RCB gives me enough of both of them.
I live in Bangalore and simply adore Rahul's batting style. His temperament is also visible in the formation of RCB team. It is a complete cricketing team, doesn't matter whether the game is a Test-match, an ODI or a T20. There's a class in the team which more than justifies the name and the slogan 'Game for Life'.
The way RCB fought back in IPL 2009, once the brilliant wizard Kumble took over, would remain a tale to be told. It was heartening to see each man standing up to the challenges. Having watched all of RCB's matches, I am confident that the rise would continue further because the team has enormous potential and stamina to keep marching ahead.
Besides, I also have loyalties towards a certain Miss KK and simply don't have the heart to see her sad if, God forbid, RCB looses. Something tells me that there would be smiles all around instead.
Strategy Map for RCB - Airtel Champions LeagueMy preferred line up : Manish Pandey, Jacques Kallis, Jesse Ryder, Rahul Dravid, Ross Taylor, Robin Uthappa, Mark Boucher(wk), Praveen Kumar, Roelof VD Merwe, Anil Kumble (c), Dale Steyn, Virat Kohli.
UPDATE on 27.09.2009 : Unfortunaely, Ryder is ruled out of the ongoing Champions trophy after sustaining a groin injury. He scored a mouth-watering 74 of 50 balls against the Sri-lankans today. Hopefully he recovers on time to play for RCB. Balachandra Akhil should be a very apt replacement if Ryder couldn't turn up. Praying for his speedy recovery.
why do I prefer this line up : This team is well balanced and extremely dependable. All players, except Manish, have international experience. Though it can be debated whether RCB has the best batting line up in the tournament, even the harshest critic of the team can't deny that this is the best bowling unit by a decent margin. The presence of good all-rounders gives RCB solidity and flexibility.
In Kumble we have the best spinner of the tournament by many miles. Steyn and Kallis bowl for the number one international team. Praveen and Ryder are as ruthless as they come and then we have Merwe, a genuine left-arm spinner, who is difficult to score against. In all we have 6 bowlers to bowl the 20 overs.
This team bats deep down till number ten which means the opposition can't breathe easy until the game is over. Dravid, the great, can shift gears in no time. We have attacking batsmen in Manish, Boucher, Ryder and Uthappa. Kallis and Taylor know how to steady the innings. RCB should open with Manish and let him play his shots. Dravid can accompany him if we are batting second, else Kallis should be the choice so that Kallis gets longer break between bowling and batting. Then, depending on whose wicket is lost, we can send in an aggressive or a steady replacement. The idea is to maintain the balance between attack and pacing of the innings.
Boucher is such a gift as a wicket keeper who can finish the game off with the willow. Robin has been showing decent form lately in domestic tournaments which is an omnious sign for the oppositions.
My opening match strategy: Objectively speaking, RCB is the strongest team in Group C, followed by Cape Cobras. The Otago Volts are the underdogs. If one goes by expectations, RCB & Cape Cobras should be the teams qualifying for League stage. Hence the opening match is even more important as this win could count in the League stage as well.
Given the strength of spinners on RCB's side, it wouldn't be a bad idea to dump the memories of the first match in IPL 2008 and go in for fielding first if we win the toss, especially since it would be October which foretells heavier dew. We won many matches while chasing in the second half of IPL 2009 when RCB fought back from bottom half to the semi-final berth. Another reason I would prefer batting second is that unlike RCB, Cobras have match-winners only in their batsmen and not bowlers. Bowling is clearly their weak link.
We must believe, rather know, that we are a better team and all that is needed is to play our natural game against the Cobras to come out trumps. The weaker team would be forced to take the risks and we must remain consistent and unfazed when they do so.
With such strong bowling line-up we can give a tough fight even at 140 if we have to bat first. It would be foolish to plan for a risky 220 if we can get to a confident 175. Play safe till first 12 overs to ensure a minimum comfortable score and then go berserk towards the end. Seeing off Langeveldt, if he is fiery that day, to target the lesser known bowlers could be a good strategy. There should be plenty of opportunities to score against some of the inexperienced (on sub-continent pitches) bowlers. Patience would be very rewarding for our batsmen.
While bowling, Kumble would utilize the luxury to shuffle the bowling with two quality spinners and three well established fast bowlers in Kallis, Steyn and Praveen. Ryder can chip-in if needed. The key is to know that we have the bowling to come back from a couple of bad overs and that the Cobras' tail is not venomous enough to cause mortal damage.
Gibbs is a temperamental player who doesn't like being tied down. Kumble can bring himself earlier on to choke him and enforce error. Smith tends to play loosely outside off and tries to work the bowl to leg. It is worth trying to tempt him by removing the cover and mid-on to get him caught in slip. There would be many such tactics for each man-to man battle and if we could execute a fair amount of them, then victory should be safely ours.
Security is expected to be too tight to let a dog in to unsettle the batsmen, but I strongly believe that we still have time to train a parrot which could be let out to fly and give a piece of his mind to Gibbs in case he bats on for long.
My best T20 match:
In terms of anticipation, the experience and the aftermath, no T20 match beats the final between India & Pakistan. It wasn't just a three hour affair. Glorifying the dream match and the passion is like restating the obvious. The ups and downs, the high stakes and the drama are simply unforgettable. With a sturdy 75 from Gambhir, India managed 157, which was a low score as per the WC 2007 standards. Then Misbah pulled Pakistan out of the rut, only to falter at the last moment. My office had arranged for free booze, excellent food and a cool DJ for the night. We danced and jumped at each Pakistani wicket and the party continued well past the midnight once Misbah erred into Sreesanth's hands at short fine leg. I was not walking properly for the next three days but wouldn't mind the deal if offered again. References:Kharehe has phenomenal writing skills since his IIT times ...a total cricket freak !

text: Hi, I have a 50ltr CUB Sankey keg which is great and was easily opened upon removal of split ring. I have recently bought two screw in type 19ltr Sankey kegs (Euro Sankey apparently) and managed to find one link on the web on how to remove the spear, i got it out after a bit of messing around. Anyway, one keg was without spear at all and are having trouble tracking one down, would anyone know where to get one from? Cheers

Research and postgraduate supervision in the Department of History and American Studies has an internationally respected reputation. This is reflected in the results of the 2014 Research Assessment Exercise in which 98% of our submission was deemed to be world leading (4*), internationally excellent (3*) or internationally recognised (2*).
The History team at Christ Church comprises active research historians with an impressive track record of publications ranging from books on Athelstan, the first King of England, Medieval Noblewomen, and the English civil war to modern-themed works on the Cold War, the Vietnam conflict and the Northern Ireland Peace process.
Importantly, the Department's research is playing a significant role in undergraduate teaching ensuring all modules reflect the latest historiographical development.
Recent projects demonstrate the regional and national impact and value of research undertaken by Christ Church historians. These include a unique project between scholars at three institutions, to translate and digitalise documents drawn up in the thirteenth century for Henry III; and a three-year community archaeology to research and record the rich archaeological heritage and early history of Folkestone, Kent.
With funding of £1 million from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the Fine Rolls Project, formally known as 'From Magna Carta to the Parliamentary State: The Fine Rolls of King Henry 1216-1272', were translated by historians at Canterbury Christ Church and two other institutions. The rolls, translated from Latin into English and encoded electronically, creating indexes and search facilitates which can be found on the website: www.finerollshenry3.org.uk.
A Town Unearthed: Folkestone Before 1500 brings together Christ Church historians, archaeologists and others to work with the community in exploring and sharing their past and, for the first time, producing a full and accessible story of Folkestone and the history of the people who have walked across, settled and formed its ancient landscape.
The project is led by Canterbury Christ Church University, Canterbury Archaeological Trust and Folkestone People's History Centre, supported by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
For further information about these projects and more, please visit the History Department's web pages.

GETTYSBURG, Pa. - A forgotten bust of Abraham Lincoln. A pennant that marked a general's headquarters. A row of cavalry sabers.
It may look like the souvenir shop of every Civil War buff's dreams, but nothing's for sale. In fact, for now the general public can't even see the guns, bullets and other pieces of history.
While about 1,300 artifacts are on display at the visitors' center in the Gettysburg National Military Park, the Lincoln bust is among the many items stored away.
The National Park Service, however, recently allowed a group of reporters into the windowless room where framed pictures are covered with muslin and period documents are stored in rag paper boxes. Some of the more than 1 million items are rotated out of the room and in front of tourists every couple of years, leaving many others tucked away.
"We have one of the largest collections of artifacts in the park service," said Greg Goodell, museum services supervisor. "We have one of the most comprehensive Civil War collections in public hands."
And not all the good stuff is in storage. Among the items on display at the visitors' center this week, as the area commemorates the 150th anniversary of the famous battle, are soldiers' letters to their loved ones.
One of the main reasons the federal government built the new visitors' center, which opened in 2008, was to improve storage of artifacts, Goodell said. Pest infestation had become a problem.
Today, 200 geothermal wells at Parking Lot One maintain the temperature and humidity at a constant 70 degrees and 50 percent humidity. The collection, made up largely of donated items, is open by request to researchers looking to answer specific questions.
Here are some artifacts that Goodell unveiled in the back room:
-- A Model A 1859 McClellan saddle. The standard-issue saddle for the Union cavalry had a hole in the middle for the comfort of the rider and the horse. The "tree" made of wood surrounded the "open well," or hole. The tree was covered with sheepskin, known as vellum. The saddle is named for Union Gen. George G. McClellan, who researched the British model in the Crimea.
-- Relic boards. The park service stores displays from long-gone roadside museums intact on the original boards. Pistols, bullets and belt buckles are wired and screwed onto plywood.
-- A remnant of Gen. Winfield Hancock's guidon. A framed three-foot square piece of cloth is all that remains of a six-foot long swallowtail flag that had designated Hancock's headquarters at Gettysburg. The corps number appears in a Maltese cross.
-- A Whitworth cannon. Soldiers feared the accuracy of the long-range cannon, whose 12-pound munitions made a whizzing sound. Both Union and Confederates used the cannon, which was accurate to a mile. Made in Manchester, England, the stored cannon likely was used at Gettysburg simply because so few were imported. The Army of Northern Virginia had four batteries on Oak Hill at Gettysburg.
-- Bust of Lincoln. The three-foot statue faces the wall. It's a small replica of a larger statue of Lincoln in the Midwest. Goodell said he is not sure why it is in the collection.
-- Sabers. Enlisted men carried the 1860 sabers in the cavalry.
Goodell said his favorite piece in the collection is a pass that Gen. Stonewall Jackson's aide Sandie Pendleton signed for Gettysburg resident David Wills.
Wills wanted to cross the Confederate battle line at Gettysburg to visit his father in Heidlersburg. The family knew the historic value of the scrap of paper and had the foresight to store it safely in an envelope until they donated it in 2009.
The pass is on display at the David Wills House in downtown Gettysburg.

All six Gilbert Highland seniors on this year's girls soccer team have played four years of varsity soccer.
They haven't played a state championship match, which is where the Hawks seemed headed last season.
Highland was the only Arizona school to beat eventual 5A Division I champion Phoenix Xavier. The Hawks won 19 games, including the Fiesta Bowl tournament and the Dobson Classic in December.
They were a No. 5 seed going into the tournament, but, like No. 1 seed Gilbert, the Hawks left before their time.
After a 2-0 win against Mesa Dobson, state runner-up Phoenix Desert Vista came for the quarterfinals, and the Hawks' fourth loss of the season was also its fourth shutout.
"To be honest they almost got used to winning and almost expected it, and stopped worrying about the little things," Highland coach John Berzins said. "We had such a great run through the year and anticipated that's how it was going to be for state."
With Xavier the favorite again - eight starters return for Barb Chura's Gators - and Desert Vista's superb junior class expected to anchor the Thunder, Highland and Gilbert both find themselves in the thick of an open competition.
Similar to the boys, Phoenix Pinnacle and Scottsdale schools Desert Mountain, Horizon and Chaparral will make noise in 5A Division II, while Scottsdale Notre Dame has eight starters back in an effort to repeat as 4A-II champion.
That's the same position the Hawks, Tigers, Thunder, and other big schools would like to be in a year from now.
"The historically strong schools definitely have the potential to go all the way," Berzins said. "We've been to semifinals and won tournaments, but now they want the big prize, and that's the big one at the end."
Xavier: Defending 5A-I champion has eight starters back, starting with the player of the year, goalkeeper Annie Graham, and midfielder Sam Cummings.
Highland: The Hawks were the only Arizona team to beat Xavier last season and return eight starters on a team that won 19 matches and two December tournaments.
Hamilton: Depth and offensive firepower will make Fiesta Region a juggernaut with Xavier, Desert Vista, Hamilton, and Red Mountain.
Gilbert: Ranked No. 1 most of last season despite injuries, the Tigers pledge that an early tournament exit won't happen again.
Desert Vista: Lost a few dynamic seniors from state runner-up team, but the Thunder could have the best junior class in the state.
Pinnacle: Kacey Bingham brings her experience at Maricopa Community College to the Pioneers for another clash with Horizon and Desert Mountain in 5A-II.
Notre Dame: Eight regulars return from last year's 4A-II championship run, which featured three penalty-kick victories.
Hilary Zenuk, Highland, Sr., F: Had 14 goals and a school-record 33 assists last season and will add on to her 73 career assists mark (also a school record).
Annie Graham, Xavier, Sr., G: Tribune player of the year last season had 18 shutouts and allowed six goals to Arizona schools.
McKenzie Semerad, Desert Vista, Jr., MF: Moves up from back end and could shine in the middle after being behind All-State players the previous two seasons.
Megan Strieldel, Red Mountain, Sr., F: Will miss the first month because of injury, but if she comes back healthy and the Lions find offensive help in the interim, watch out.
Natalie Kintz, Horizon, Sr., G: Could be the best goalie in state in 5A-II, and she might need to be with six seniors lost to graduation.
Blair Alderson, Gilbert, Sr., MF; Lauren Barrett, McClintock, Sr., D; Melissa Beck, Basha, Sr., F; Janelle Brandom, Desert Mountain, Sr., MF; Gina Buschatzke, Mountain Pointe, Sr., D; Amy Capone, Saguaro, Sr., D; Sam Cummings, Xavier, Sr., MF; Jorday Day, Basha, Jr., GK; Alex Doller, Marcos de Niza, Jr., F; Hannah Drew, McClintock, Sr., G; Devin Garcia, Basha, Sr., F; Brittany Groh, Desert Mountain, Sr., F; Jordan Greenberg, Desert Mountain, Jr., MF; Sarah Hanson, Westwood, Jr., MF; Hailey Hayes, Corona del Sol, Sr., G; Jessica Johnson, Corona del Sol, Sr., D; Ariel Gnazzo-Kerry, Red Mountain, Sr., MF; Natalie Kintz, Horizon, Sr., G; Nicole Krueger, Horizon, Jr., F; Erica Lieberman, Arcadia, Sr., D; Clarissa Lopez, Westwood, Jr., D; Ashton Mariano, Red Mountain, Sr., D; Jenna Merrill, Chaparral, Sr., MF; Cadie Naquin, Notre Dame, So., D; Ena Nielsen, Westwood, Sr., MF; Annie Newell, Horizon, Sr., F; Tori Papp, Corona del Sol, Sr., MF; Jordan Pletzer, Mesquite, Sr., MF; Sam Rall, Desert Vista, Sr., F; Taylor Rice, Mesquite, Jr., G; Tara Rickenbach, Mesquite, Sr., MF; Kelly Rising, Chaparral, Sr., F; Mattie Rodrigue, Dobson, Sr., D; Megan Rush, Seton Catholic, Sr., D; Dulce Segura, McClintock, Jr., D; McKenzie Semerad, Desert Vista, Jr., MF; Catie Service, Red Mountain, Sr., D; Juliet Summers-Hernandez, Pinnacle, Sr., MF; Maddie Thorn, Arcadia, Jr., MF; Karla Varela, Arcadia, Sr., F; Kaitlyn Venberg, Jr., MF; Julia Waterhouse, Desert Vista, Jr., D; Madyson Wellcome, Hamilton, Sr., D; Kaelin Williams, Mesquite, Sr., MF; Kaitlyn Woltz, Tempe Prep, So., MF; Katie Woolridge, Fountain Hills, Jr., GK.
Zero degrees of separation: Matt Smith is the longtime coach at Corona del Sol. His brother Scott and former assistant Kevin Chavez are now at Mesquite. Dobson coach Greg Johnson is married to Basha coach Heather Johnson, both of whom were in Smith's wedding when he married Corona del Sol assistant Patti Smith. Matt, Scott, Greg, Heather and Highland coach John Berzins are all Mesa Dobson graduates.
Horizon sophomore Megan Oleno is back playing this season after she was diagnosed with cancer. Oleno spent 2008 and a portion of 2009 going through chemotherapy and hasn't played competitively since 2007.

Well, the 9-11 guys did plan from Germany. So I have no problem at all with the USA keeping taps on certain groups and potential hotbeds of radical Islam within Germany. And I am positive our government and secret service are quite willing to support any such investigations.
However that does NOT cover blanket filtering of billions of calls and emails, and it CERTAINLY doesn't covers spying on EU institutions and similar. I am rather pro-American, but this really annoys me. USA: you are not playing nice. Maybe you don't feel you need to, but there's a price to pay for that.

About Us - Executive Team
Neal Gottlieb is the Founding Twin of Three Twins Ice Cream, which he started as a one-man show in 2005 in San Rafael, California. His goal has always been to build the company into a major national brand of reasonably priced, inconceivably delicious organic ice cream.
Neal started Three Twins slowly and humbly with a scoop shop in a terrible location, using his life savings and a loan from the Bank of Mom and Dad. He didn't have any employees at the time because he could not afford them, and thus he set forth with blind ambition working 90 hours a week. Sales in the company's first year did not hint at much future success, but Neal did manage to pay himself $4,000 – that equated to a bit less than $1 per hour – and he somehow showed a small profit.
Knowing that he would never make a sustainable living with one little shop, Neal began selling beyond the walls of the San Rafael store in 2006. He started with farmers' markets and restaurants, and then sold hand-packed pints to a handful of groceries. The business took off from there.
At the six-year mark, Three Twins is surging. The company now has four scoops shops and sells its ice cream in close to 1,000 locations in 35 states. Sales in 2011 will be roughly 17 times what they were that first year, and the company's employee count has grown from zero to around 50.
Neal's proudest achievements, in addition to starting Three Twins Ice Cream, include completing a 62-mile running race, summiting Mount Kilimanjaro and churning a batch of ice cream with ice harvested from the glacier closest to the summit, being named one of the winners of the 2010 American Airlines Road Warrior Contest, bartering a pint of ice cream for the toll on the Golden Gate Bridge and being named Entrepreneur of the Year by San Francisco's Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center.
Neal graduated from Cornell University's College of Human Ecology in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in consumer economics and housing. He was also co-captain of the university's varsity lightweight crew.
When not traveling for work, Neal enjoys traveling for fun, hiking, drinking legal beverages, watching baseball, spending time with his nieces, and plotting and scheming. He has visited Everest Base Camp, been pelted with tomatoes at La Tomatina in Bunol, Spain, watched a sky burial in Tibet, hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, trekked the mountains of Ladakh and driven an ice cream truck solo across the United States in 93 hours.
Neal was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco from 2002–2003, until the war in Iraq brought about the program's evacuation. He now volunteers with two organizations that help disadvantaged individuals start businesses.
He lives on a 27' sailboat, The Incorrigible, which is berthed in Sausalito, California.
Position: Vice President
Where are you from? Piqua, Ohio. The Buckeye State is home to more than 3,200 dairy farms and is the "Mother of Presidents."
What were you doing before Three Twins? I worked for Brian and Jennifer Maxwell, the founders of PowerBar, and for President Reagan. In 1984, he designated July as National Ice Cream Month and he named the third Sunday of the month as National Ice Cream Day. July is also the month that sells the highest amount of ice cream.
When did you join Three Twins? January 2008
What do you like about the company? We simply bring joyful smiles to many, many faces. I admire and respect the fact that Neal is uniquely and solely committed to making great tasting, superior quality, interesting organic ice cream and related frozen desserts.
Do you have a favorite working-at-Three-Twins experience? Seeing and hearing our daughters' reactions when they learned that their daddy was a part of Three Twins.
Which of the three twins is your favorite? Neal. I told him he was going to be the Ben & Jerry's of organic ice cream when we first met at the opening of his first retail store in San Rafael in August 2005. I appreciate Neal's vision, creativity, determination, focus and commitment to making the best ice cream on the planet.
What is your favorite flavor of Three Twins Ice Cream? Mom's Orange Sherbet, which was the first flavor I tried when I met Neal at the San Rafael store. Bittersweet Chocolate is a close second.
Describe your job at Three Twins. I love what I do, and that is whatever it takes to spread the happiness of eating our ice cream. I am passionate about being a part of, and impacting the making and selling of, the world's best-tasting ice cream in an earth-friendly manner. In doing so, we plan to become a leading national brand of ice cream.
Talk a bit about life outside of work. I'm married to Jenny and we have two daughters, Madeline (13) and Issalina (7). Jenny is wild for Burnt Caramel and the girls love Cookies and Cream. I also am the president of the Brian Maxwell Fellows program for entrepreneurs at the Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley.
Position: Entrepreneurial Wrangler
Where are you from? Ukiah, CA
What were you doing before Three Twins? Basking in the San Diego sunshine, playing too much golf, chasing pretty girls on the beach...you know, the typical southern California lifestyle. I was also working in the corporate wellness industry.
When did you join Three Twins? June 2011
What do you like about the company? I get to work with a bunch of different people that all see Three Twins not just as a job, but also as a company that we all get to help build and grow together. Also, every day at Three Twins presents something new to keep things fresh and interesting.
Do you have a favorite working-at-Three-Twins experience? 2011 San Francisco Street Food Festival...enough said.
Which of the three twins is your favorite? The one who signs my paycheck.
What is your favorite flavor of Three Twins Ice Cream? It's a toss-up between Lemon Cookie and Cookies and Cream.
Describe your job at Three Twins. I help out with a lot of different stuff, but mainly I fulfill orders from customers and distributors, maintain social media efforts, and work toward finding newer, more efficient ways of operating.
Position: Event Guru
Where are you from? I was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica. My younger years were spent living on a boat in the Bahamas and Virgin Islands. Two years ago, after one too many ice storms, I moved to San Francisco from the D.C. metro area.
What were you doing before Three Twins? I worked for Whole Foods Market for the past seven years. Before my work with Whole Foods, I was a Chef and I worked security at nightclubs in D.C.
When did you join Three Twins? July 25, 2011. It was the day after my birthday...pretty sweet gift, I should say. I was so excited to start that I didn't give myself the chance to take time off.
What do you like about the company? The atmosphere is like a small family think tank. We all have input in most areas of the company, and often you see that input come to fruition. I like that the message is more about getting our ice cream into the hands of the majority, not the minority.
Do you have a favorite working-at-Three-Twins experience? I would say my favorite memory so far would be the San Francisco Street Food Festival and the green spandex suits we wore. I had the worst food poisoning from days before the event, yet after donning the suit I felt better – and the attention, while sometimes unwanted, made me forget how bad I felt.
Which of the three twins is your favorite? I get asked this question so often. This is the only secret I keep from the people I work with, and I'm taking my answer to the grave.
What is your favorite flavor of Three Twins Ice Cream? My favorite flavor currently is a specialty flavor called Harley Crunch. Of the flavors we have in the store, I'm a big fan of mixing Chocolate Peanut Butter and Cookies and Cream. My ultimate favorite flavor will be the one I design and name myself.
Describe your job at Three Twins. As the event guru, I coordinate events and demonstrations and I manage demo specialists in regions that carry our ice cream. This includes anything from small in-store demos to large-scale concert events such as Outside Lands. Everyone pitches in here and covers areas that are outside of their job descriptions.
Talk a bit about life outside of work. I live in San Francisco. My hobbies include cooking, sailing, cycling, collecting records and wandering the city in search of new places to eat.
Position: Manager, Three Twins at the Berkeley Farmers' Market (and Neal's mom!)
Where are you from? New York, NY

When did you join Three Twins? I was drafted in July 2007 by Neal, upon our move from New Jersey.
What do you like about the company? I've got a great boss! Working for Three Twins allows us to live in San Rafael, and allows me to care for our granddaughters on a daily basis.
Do you have a favorite working-at-Three-Twins experience? When Neal would travel to the east coast, he would always bring a cooler full of ice cream. Since I knew I didn't like coffee ice cream (although I had never tried it), I always gave the Mocha Difference to a girlfriend. When I started doing the farmers' market, I knew I should taste everything to understand the flavors. After I tried the Mocha Difference, I phoned my girlfriend to tell her how lucky she was that I had never tasted it while living in New Jersey. She never would have gotten any! Hearing the OOOOs and AHs of the people sampling the inconceivably delicious ice cream at the Berkeley Farmers' Market is always a lot of fun.
Which of the three twins is your favorite? How can you ask a mother to pick her favorite child?
What is your favorite flavor of Three Twins Ice Cream? There are many. The top three are Dad's Cardamom, Mocha Difference and Mint Confetti.
Describe your job at Three Twins. Currently, my job is to sample and sell our inconceivably delicious ice cream at the Berkeley Farmers' Market every Saturday. Prior to the opening of the factory in Petaluma, I also filled scoop cups, made ice cream sandwiches and made ice cream pies while working at the San Rafael shop on Sunday mornings.
Talk a bit about life outside of work. My husband Simon and I just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. We live in San Rafael with our three dogs (all rescues), just a block and a half from the other twins: our son, Carl, and his wife, Liz, plus our two granddaughters, Sage and Timi.

I love my job. It is so exciting and I can't wait to tackle more projects that Neal puts in front of me. The next few years are going to be amazing!

I had the burger here a few years ago an haven't been since. Only thing I could remember was that it was one of the better burgers I had had in a while. I'm trying to recreate it at home. Can anyone post about the details of the ingredients ie toppings, buttered bun or not? I believe there was a giant onion ring on the burger but I could be wrong. Also going with a blend of chuck, brisket and sirloin. |
Also, Goffle Farms in Hawthorne sells duck fat as well as a few other Dartagnan products. |

I just picked up EuroCave 223 bottle fridge and am looking to start a good collection of some quality champagnes. I only have a few bottles now and prefer a champagne to be on the the drier side but not bone dry. I have a few bottles of a decent champagne Philip Prie which is good but not great. Only decent champagne in wine stores by me is Veuve Clicquot but Veuve is just not that exciting as its the ONLY one in every store. Any suggestions on good resources where I can order online some good champagnes? |
Best Gumbo for Carnival Season I have been to New Orleans a few times of the last few years and I have to agree with Collardman...of all the meals where i had gumbo I have yet to have a bad one. Each gumbo is unique in that its preparation has very few rules so the best tasting is a matter of personal preference. Just eat it often and frequently while you are there and let us know what you think. My favorite was probably at Vaughns on a Wed night w Kermit Ruffins and BBQ swingers. He prepares some cookout family style meal for everyone at the bar as a thank you to the crowd. A must visit. |
Im in! Let me know. |
We tried Mediterraneo this weekend. We really enjoyed the Moroccan Lamb Stew served in the real deal tagine. I would go back just for this dish. Thanks. |
This looks better than chinatown. Can I come to family gatherings? I love dim sum with plenty of people that way you can order lots of dishes. |
I didnt get any pic of Lobster Pan Fried noodles? Where did you guys get them? |
I'll have to try it. I believe it is Turkish correct? |
oceanos (fair lawn) or varka (ramsey) for dinner? (or other suggestions) St eves in hohokus has a great selection of new seasonal dishes although it is a Byob. If you want a more party like atmosphere bottarga in hawthorne has a great specials lineup every night and has more of a party atmosphere. Their regular menu is fine too by not really exciting as its laced with many old school red sauce staples. But every night they have at least 10 specials which are recited by the waiters nightly are really great dishes. |
I love going to ridgewood for their byobs and variety of restaurants. Problem is most of their myriad of places to eat are average at best. There are three restaurants that I crave on a frequent basis and I believe are gems in northern nj. My top three are as follows. A Mano for their spot-on authentic neopolitan style pizzas, Brick Lane for their clean fresh take on indian food and Latour for an old school French classic dishes. Also Sook is a phenomenal place, though not an official restaurant, for great croissants, brioche, and crepes. I have yet to try village green but would like to hear what your opinions may be on this towns' offerings. |
I like the shredded idea. I've never tasted the squash and was thinking of using it in a butternut squash soup recipe but a weary that the flavor of the squash isn't as sweet as the butternut so may come out strange. |
I have a gigantic cucuzza and need some ideas on how to make it tasty. I think I would like to make a soup bc it seems easiest and I have about 30 ppl to feed. This cucuzza is about 15 lbs so I obviously won't be using the whole thing. I was thinking of a soup but am not too fond of the tomatoe based recipes I've found online. Ideas? |
shot an 84 at Paramus...tied my best score ever. I am so addicted to golf like never before. You played 36 yesterday? Balthazar has hands down the best baguette by far but this one at Panificio Bolea was pretty darn good. |
Drove by and thought it may be worth a trip to stop in. We noticed the place is as close to an Italian coffee "bar" as we have seen anywhere in NJ. "bar" meaning a place to stop for a quick shot of espresso and a small pastry or cookie. Their primary business seems to be a bakery. We tried their baguette and it was fantastic. Almost as good if not better than Balthazar in Englewood. In my opinion if a bakery can do a good baguette then its worth making a special trip. I am still unsure if their objective or specialty is clear. They also have a small savory items like panini and frittate. Has anyone else visited? |
Staying in Paramus.. craving pizza.. help? I second A Mano. Its hands down the best pizza that Ive ever eaten outside Italy. Better than most places in Italy too. |
Cardamom -- how do you use it? Part of family comes from Afghanistan and cardamom is a prevalent ingredient that is used daily in many dishes. The most simple of them is in tea. Just steep a quarter teaspoon in a pot of tea with a few tea bags of your choice (green or black tea work well) and it makes a very nice aromatic "chai". |
Looks really good. Two questions. I dont mean to undermine your efforts just trying to see if your issues were similar to the ones that i had. |
Completely Unplanned ER Trip - Serghei's was great. We had the tortellini in brodo, tortelloni with sage and butter, and the tagliatelle bolognese. I had a nasty cold that day so unfortunately it was difficult for me to taste all the foods but everything was great from what i can remember. I didnt find the man who owns Serghei to be exceptionally rude. I did detect his cold side as anyone with a popular restaurant would be when oblivious foreigners come in and dont attempt to understand or appreciate local customs. There was a table behind us of two young foreign students who only spoke english. And they so very eloquently (in English) were asking him questions about the menu...what is your specialty? what do you recommend? Differences between tortelli and tortellini? And the owner was very helpful and patient with them. I think its when people blatantly disregard customs and dont show respect local traditions is when he can be rude. Regarding your trip to Manhattan, here are a few recommendations for restaurants ranging from pricey to cheaper...I am assuming that you do not want to eat Italian food but if so i have a few good places for that as well. I tend to go more on the ethnic side when eating out in NYC as thats more of something that i wouldnt prepare at home. POK POK - thai fast casual restaurant with superior ingredients and fresh, bright dishes-inexpensive Spotted Pig or Breslin - Both restaurants of Brit expat April Bloomfield...fantastic ingredients with a focus on farm products Boulud Sud- Daniel Boulud - famous french chef opened a sort of mini-Eataly where he serves some fantastic basque and french country appetizers at a stand up bar. We usually pop in when we are in the area for a plate of jamon Iberico and a glass of beer or wine. Shake Shack - a few locations in NYC- best is one in Madison Square Park. You get your burger and sit down at a park bench or table. Momofuku Ssam Bar- no reservations here ..if you go do so at an off hour as it will be mobbed. Pork buns and anything on the menu will impress. Takashi- For a real food experience. If you can get a reservation. Pricey but certainly dishes you have never had. Yakiniku style Japanese where you grill your food right in front of you over open charcoal. Things like grilled lambs tongue or sea urchin and monk fish liver appetizers. I havent been here but am very eager to go. Have only heard positive things from foodie friends. There are truly and endless number of amazing restaurants in NYC. All depends what you are looking for. The asian menus seems to be on the lighter side as they favor vegetables and fish dishes. If you tell me what neighborhood you will be in I can recommend places that will be in your vicinity. |
Completely Unplanned ER Trip - It certainly was even better since I understood the risks involved with getting it here. Funny story, when i was coming through customs my wife and I were selected to have our bags searched (1 out of every 30 persons). The person searching our bags asked us, do you any meat in these bags? We said no....joked around with the guy so as to distract him...he eventually stopped searching after opening one of our bags....we were so nervous but we made through undetetected! I will certainly update when I make it to NYC and try the culatello at DiPalo's. Its actually a friend of mine who's parents own the deli so at least ill get the real scoop on the culatello. |
Completely Unplanned ER Trip - Yes we drove through Cremona on the way to Mantova as Ivan recommended to take the more local scenic route. Also, I wonder if the variety of culatello that may be at Di Palo or Buon Italia is the DOP certified. I was speaking to a man that owns a salumeria in Bologna on via Indipendenza and he was saying that there is lots of culatello out there that does not come from those proper regions that are along the PO. He says that if they do not have the DOP stamp then they are most likely not as good and are imposters. Im curious now to see and next time im at one of those two stores I will check it out. |
Completely Unplanned ER Trip - Allende, Its comforting to know that Da Ivan has been doing the same great things for so long. Hopefully there is no impetus to change what is seemingly very special. Ivan took my wife and I into his Cantina after dinner and we shared a wonderful bottle of beer that one of his friends brews. NUT I believe was the name of the beer. Anyhow...we cannot wait until we return. Jen, Right above is the stinco di maiale at La Buca. Miriam, the owner explained to us that the pork leg was boned out and cured in November...then simply just boiled in plain water. It was extremely flavorful and tender. Normally i eat around the fat on these kinds of meat but the layer of fat around the outside was so meltingly tender salty that i ate every last bit of it. Barberini, It is quite unfortunate that most peoples' experiences of cured meats will forever be limited to domestic american mass produced deli meats and even just proscuitto di Parma (which is still fantastic). The quality and flavor of those meats that I tasted in the Paramenese country side truly have forever changed my outlook on salumi. Tonight I will be taking my 2 Kg piece of culatello purchased in Zibello that I successfully smuggled home to the states to a family members' house that owners a meat slicer and will be indulging in culatello one last time. Our trip to Italy would have been a completely different ( and not nearly as tasty) experience if it werent for all three of you. |
Completely Unplanned ER Trip - Also our meal at La Buca in Zibello was fantastic as well. I went easy as we knew we were going to Da Ivan for dinner. Starter was culatello, with some parmigianno and their homemade apple mostarda. Then had the stinco di maiale which was one of the best pork dishes that I have ever eaten in my life. |
Completely Unplanned ER Trip - Al Sorriso was quite disappointing. I am not sure if it was an off night or if it was just that this is where the restaurant is these days. Food was good however for the price I dont think I would ever return. Our meal cost us 550 Euro although we did get a 99 Bricco Rocche Barolo that was 160 euro but still too expensive. . I believe you are paying for the Michelin stars. Again all the courses were fine but nothing that really made me too excited. This best dish was this porcini mushroom that was just simply roasted and stuffed with a duxelle. I do not believe that when you pay for this kind of restaurant that they are entitled to an off night. We were there on a Sunday night and were the only table in the restaurant all night long. Also chef Valazza was not there that night so maybe that was why the food was not very enthusiastic. If i knew to expect his I would have eaten at Da Ivan another night where as that meal cost us 120 euro WITH wine. |
Completely Unplanned ER Trip - Lastly was a crudo of beef. I may be so bold as to say that this is the best place that I have ever eaten at in my entire life. |
Completely Unplanned ER Trip - These are from Da Ivan...I must say that this was by far the best part of the trip. The food here was more honest and delicious than anywhere that we ate throughout anywhere in Italy. I enjoyed this meal 30 times more than I enjoyed our meal at Al Sorriso, even with their 3 Michelin stars. The meal was extremely reasonable priced and I cannot get over how wonderful of host Ivan is. The wine list is fantastic. The prices are extremely reasonable considering the quality and level of attention paid to the food. There was also plenty of culatello enjoyed during this meal. Allende, I completely understand why you return here as I want to make a separate trip back to Italy just to eat here again. First dish is polenta fried in lardo with two kinds of whipped lardo, one with basil, and one with rosemary. They were spreadable and melted the second they touched the crunchy hot polenta. Next was what i believe from my poor understanding from what Ivan was saying is the curd of the parmiggiano with pancetta then pan fried. By the way pancetta in Parma is absolutely nothing like the stuff we get here. A very sad realization. Next is homeade ravioli stuffed with cheese and herbs. The were folded so as to look like little basil leaves. These were better than the similar prep of this dish then we had at Al Sorriso. Then was a homeamade spinach pasta with tomatoes and cheese on a creamy island of taleggio fondue. |

By Anne Schroeder
A reader might not be able to articulate what makes a compelling women's western novel—but she knows it when she sees it.
It's a combination of Ahaa! Attagirl! Whoopie! and Wow!
Ahaa! is self-discovery. The "I never thought about that—but she's right!" factor that we multi-faceted gals need in our novels. It's a deep primary storyline that pulls us through new territory; a fresh look at nuances of human experience that we recognize, but haven't spent a lot of time musing over; fresh solutions to old problems that frame our ancestors' actions in ways that connect us.
As authors of such novels, we begin with a premise that everyone does the best they can with the information they have. Then we dig into our research and write a story that debunks or expands pioneer myths and defends our ancestors' hard choices.
Attagirl! is the action element of a novel that keeps the heroine moving forward. We begin with a female character and we give her a compelling personality that includes quirky mannerisms, grit and determination. Then we add a handicap, a seemingly insurmountable problem, fallen virtue—whatever moves our storyline forward as our heroine encounters larger-than-life setbacks.
Whoopee! is the romance and the sex. Every story needs it, but not always to the same degree. Often, western writers shy away from the romance. "I want to be taken seriously and not be seen as a romance writer," they say. But they forget that the relationship aspect is important to women readers—and vital to a well-rounded story.
The writer's cardinal rule is to make the story true to the character—and at the same time to write for the reader. This doesn't have to mean writing a torrid "Love in the Sun" scene. If the devil is in the details, so is the romance. Try nuanced dialogue and sweetness—a shy man thrusts a tin mug of water at a girl and spills it over her, leaves a wilted wildflower on a wagon seat, brings a dripping, unskinned rabbit as a supper gift—little surprises tucked throughout that portray a well-intentioned wooer with more daring than sense.
Wooers can be clumsy and unsuccessful. A girl can lose in love. She might reject her suitor or spoil her chances, choose single life, don men's clothing and become a muleskinner, but the romance needs to be shown—maybe as she witnesses a girl who took the other path to wife and motherhood. Regrets are part of romance, too.
Wow! is the grandeur of the western setting. The existence of pioneer settlers depended on the vagaries of weather, setting and circumstance; a compelling western begins with the soil and work inward.
Wow! demands authenticity: western deserts have rules for survival; mountains and plains have others. Coastal states have earthquakes, fog and torrential rain. Farmers and ranchers endure different struggles within the same seasons. Women have a different way of relating to nature—often the more difficult chore of waiting.
That's all we have time for. Write it on the palm of your hand: Ahaa! Attagirl! Whoopee! and Wow!

Del. Senate approves Markell tax increases The state Senate has approved Gov. Markell's proposals to make several recession-era tax increases permanent. The Senate passed all four bills Thursday on party-line votes, with no Republicans voting for them. The measures needed the approval of all 13 Democrats to achieve the required three-fifths majority. The bills passed the House last week on similar party-line votes, with only one Democrat voting against them. They now go to Markell for his signature. Republicans say the bills are premature and renege on assurances made in 2009 that the tax increases would expire after four years. The bills keep corporate franchise, personal income, and gross receipts taxes on most businesses at higher levels than four years ago. The estate tax revived in 2009 also would be made permanent. |

WSVG shuts down, cancels all events {WoW}
Sep 13th 2007 3:42PM To be honest, I'm glad they're gone.
If there's one thing that the 3v3 Semi Finals at Toronto showed us, it's that the WSVG was not a legitamite competitive league.
For those of you who don't know, Yea We Lift was forced to replay the semi-finals of the 3v3 Arena Tournament against MoB because the Hunter on Yea We Lift tamed a Scorpid pet for the event. However MoB complained AFTER Yea We Lift had already beaten them, and even though a WSVG official said it was okay for Yea We Lift's Hunter to go tame a Scorpid before the Tournament, another official said it was not, and nullified the matches. The re-match was played the next day, and MoB switched their lineup to specifically counter Yea We Lift.
If the WSVG was even remotely legitimate, they would have made the two teams go against eachother right away, or at the least prohibit MoB from changing their lineup.
BigRedKitty: Gear Up for Karazhan {WoW}
Sep 12th 2007 11:59PM Another good article, though I really don't think you should have focused exclusively on AH items. While a lot of them are good, there are quite a few excellent alternatives available through group questing (where I find people's scrutiny of others' gear is a lot less commonplace than instancing). Ar'tor's Mainstay are arguably the best gloves a Pre-Kara Hunter will find, and along that same quest line one could obtain Lohn'goron (which isn't as good as Valanos' Longbow, but would still serve a Hunter well until he gets Wolfslayer or Steelhawk.

Table KS06 - Ethnic group
Key Statistics for local authorities, wards, parishes, County Council electoral divisions and settlements - 2001 census
Table KS06 provides data on ethnic group for all people.
Results are shown below for ethnic group broken down into White British, White Irish and Other White; Mixed White and Black Caribbean, Mixed White and Black African, Mixed White and Asian and Other Mixed; Asian Indian, Asian Pakistani, Asian Bangladeshi and Other Asian; Black Caribbean, Black African and Other Black; Chinese and Other Ethnic Group.
Results are shown as numbers and percentages for local authorities, wards, parishes parishes, electoral divisions and settlements (as defined by HCC) in Hertfordshire. Data for wards is arranged by local authority and sorted by the ward code. The ward level data in these tables is based on ward geography as at 2000 and should not be used in conjunction with other ward definitions. Data for parishes and electoral divisions is arranged by local authority and sorted alphabetically by parish/division name. Data for electoral divisions has been derived from Key Statistics results for wards and output areas. Data for settlements has been derived by HCC from Key Statistics results for output areas by apportionment of Ordnance Survey Addresspoints identified as households.
There is a likelihood of inconsistency with other census statistics due to the rounding of small counts within tables. Any discrepancy is likely to be small, and well within the confidence intervals attached to the census estimates. However, because of discrepancies, the precise source of the data should always be quoted.
The HertsLIS website has data from the 2011 Census on Ethnic group.

I would like to respond to the letter Cars, Knives Kill More People Every Year Than Firearms (The Daily News, Jan. 24)
Though I appreciate the fact that you took the time to look up Canadian statistics, I must say that your paradigm is skewed and clearly biased. You have made some valid points, although some of your arguments were not fully unfurled.
Firstly, no one claims that guns "kill people all by themselves." You're right, it's absolutely the mistake or ill-intent of the people that use them, as it is with is knives and drunk driving.
But to imply that people shouldn't be scared of guns, or harsher laws should not be in place to protect the public, is obscene.
Drunk driving is a tragedy, that's why laws have changed to decrease the legal blood-alcohol content, an intervention that has clearly made a difference in Canadian deaths.
There are also laws against concealed weapons and type of knifes one is allowed to own. Considering the number of knife-related deaths, maybe these laws should also be more prohibitive.
The photo shows semi-automatic guns, long-distance scopes and collapsible stocks (used in close-quarter combat). I cannot fathom a reason to house these kinds of guns.
The fact that guns like these are legally accessible increases the probability that these guns may reach the wrong hands and when used, cause a lot of carnage. What an ironic time to advocate for gun ownership when three children in Canada have tragically died in the past two weeks due to firearms.
More restrictive laws should be in place for guns and if you ask me, 158 deaths because of firearms in 2011 is 158 too many. Anything that our government and law enforcement can do to protect the public should be done whether it is drinking and driving, knives, or guns.

Regulations: US Code of Federal Regulations (Search for Title 29, Subtitle B, Chapter XVII: Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Department of Labor, starting with Section 1900)
Summary: The Occupational and Safety Health (OSH) Act, originally enacted in 1970, establishes standards to ensure worker and workplace safety from recognized hazards such as toxic chemicals, excessive noise levels, mechanical dangers, heat or cold stress or unsanitary conditions. The Act sets general rights and responsibilities for employers and employees, and addresses workplace discrimination issues.
OSHA creates substance-specific and industry-specific standards, such as the Asbestos Standard for the Construction Industry .
The OSHA Cancer Policy, Part 1990 of the OSH Act, establishes criteria and procedures for the identification, classification, and regulation of potential occupational carcinogens found in each workplace regulated by OSHA. A database of information about toxic workplace chemicals, such as mercury and asbestos, are maintained jointly by OSHA and the US Environmental Protection Agency in their OSHA/EPA Occupational Chemical Database .
The OSH Act created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to set standards and conduct workplace inspections, and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to conduct research on worker safety and health issues. States are encouraged to establish their own worker safety plans, which are approved, monitored and partially funded by OSHA.

MILEY: Ummm I always think about that actually. Because I work on the show, I know what happened already. When I watch it sometimes, Im like Okay, I have watched this already. You know when you have worked on it for a week, you really dont want to watch it again.
TEEN: Would you ever consider being a contestant on Dancing with the Stars?
MILEY: No way! I have seen my dads feet like blistered up. I see Karina go like
Tweak, tweak, tweak, tweak to my dads feet (as Miley pretends to be poking at something). And Karina is like turn, turn, turn, turn! So, I
dont think I would go it! My dad is actually the one
now with the real moves. He talks about the sashay or lattay, whatever it is. I always tell my dad
ya Im just going to be dancing dad, Im not going to be doing all of that fancy stuff.
TEEN: So, how do you feel about being in the spotlight? MILEY: It does get frustrating having the cameras on you all the time because if you make mistakes then the whole world knows about it. Like its not just your family and friends, its everyone. Sometimes Ill watch myself on TV and ask myself What am I doing, I am the biggest geek. My friends will call me and say, OMG. Have you seen that commercial of you, you look like such a nerd.
TEEN: When you are not in the spotlight, do you have to do chores at home?
MILEY: Yes, I do. I just learned how to use the dishwasher and when I put the soap in all of the bubbles starting coming out and I was like, Oh, I think I was supposed to put the soap in that little container thing instead of just pouring it in. I was like, "oh ya that is what I was supposed to do. I got in a lot of trouble for that and I shrunk my moms favorite pair of jeans trying to do laundry. We have to hang dry our jeans the old fashioned way instead of drying them in the dryer, so they dont shrink. So,
now my moms pants are really cute capris.
TEEN: Whats your definition of a true friend?
MILEY: A true friend is someone who is always there during the ups and downs, I
actually have a song called "True Friend." You know, I have had a lot of positive things happen in my life, but I also have had some negative things
that are not so fun to deal with and not only do I have to hear it, but also everyone else as well. So it is nice to have my friends
there to help me get through everything.
TEEN: What kind of qualities does a guy have to have to ask you out on a date?
MILEY: He better turn that charm on really quick. Im from the south, so its like southern hospitality. My family is kind of funny because we are so set in our old traditions like when we walk in the house, shoes off! Its like you walk in and you're clean. Im like Mom, no one does that. Its just something we do and we are not changing for anybody. You know, even with us, its like Yes, sir. No, sir. We have fun, but when its time to be serious we bring out the respect, not only for our fans, but even to our brothers and sisters.
Its just common courtesy. I think that turning on the charm without being fake is really important. They have to be a gentleman. My dad is like that boy is really nice. He has to be a nice guy.
TEEN: So, I have to ask
whos your celebrity crush?
MILEY: Orlando Bloom. My friends met him and I told them I dont like you
anymore (Miley laughing). We are no longer friends.
TEEN: What is your favorite pig out?
MILEY: Its so weird. I like shrimp. I will eat like a whole thing of shrimp. Im a vegetarian, but that is the only thing that I will eat. So, I will eat
and eat shrimp and, like, fries.
TEEN: So, after you graduate what are your plans for the future?
MILEY: I dont know exactly what Im trying to do for now. Im actually graduating early. I got a lot of work done already. Being home schooled, I
have had a lot of tutors help me. I will be done next year with high school and Im really excited about that. Also, what is really cool about the
school that I go to is that it has prep classes for college. So, when I get a chance I will have that availability because I have studied for it.
TEEN: For all of the girls out there who want to be a star like Miley, what is your advice to them?
MILEY: I think it is believing in yourself and being true to yourself. Even when
you're acting you still need to be true to yourself because you dont want to put on a show for the rest of your life. It is a hard way to the top, but it
also very easy to come back down as well. Also, it is really important to keep yourself rested and whenever you need a break, take a break.
TEEN: Thanks Miley!
