357 British Commonwealth Conference
Verbatim Minutes (extract) CANBERRA, 28 August 1947
MR. FRASER: Civil aviation is as integral a part of a country's economy as rail or road transport. The prohibition of the running of civil airlines by the Japanese would create a feeling of great inferiority which, instead of helping to solve our problems, would, in my opinion, only increase them. We cannot put even Japan into a straitjacket. The Chief of the New Zealand Air Force asserts that the possession of civil airlines by Japan would not constitute a real danger because this would require the training of pilots and technical personnel for air transport duties only and not for the many and complex operations needed in war. Of course, anything used in civil life can be turned to war purposes.
The question is whether we shall say to Japan: 'We will form an international airline and run your civil aviation traffic.' We might as well say: 'We will run your railways and your road services.' There is another question, relating to freedom of the air. We must insist on international airlines having terminals or landing places in Japan. It is worth while considering also whether the air over Japan should be internationalised. This might involve discrimination against Japan, but there is a strong argument in favour of the internationalisation of all air. I shall not deal with that argument in detail now. I consider that prohibition of civil aviation would be impracticable and would only constitute the very dangers that we are trying to avoid.
MR. RAFI: I agree with Mr. Fraser. It has been observed that it would be undesirable to allow Japan to manufacture aircraft. The only reason given in support of that observation is that economically it would be unsound because Japan may not require more than a relatively few aircraft. I consider that the decision as to whether the proposition would be economically unsound should be left to Japan. That is not our business. Is there any other objection to the manufacture of aircraft by Japan? MR. CLAXTON: Our experience as aircraft producers shows that any plant which is competent to make civil aircraft can be converted very rapidly to make war aircraft.
MR. RAFI: I appreciate that fact, but that danger would be considerably minimised by the existence of supervisory committees and all sorts of restrictions on the range and power of aircraft.
Having all this in view, I think it would be desirable to allow the manufacture of aircraft in Japan.
DR. EVATT: I do not regard paragraph 94 [1] as having any economic purpose whatever. It is aimed purely at the prevention of the development of war potentials. We should remember what happened in Germany after World War I. Germany was permitted to engage in limited civil aviation, and its manufacturing potential grew until its great aircraft industry was completely re-established. Japan is now very much in the same position. It is worth remembering that sometimes a prohibition can be made effective whereas a regulation cannot be enforced. History shows that civil aviation accompanied by manufacturing rights is inseparable from military aviation. The civil aircraft is a military aircraft. As soon as war starts, the civil plane becomes a transport carrier. It is an essential part of the armed forces. I do not dissent from some of the remarks that have been made about giving the Japanese a chance, but I would not give them a chance in this field.
MR. McNEIL: I make plain the fact that my Government agrees completely with the proposal made by Dr. Evatt in paragraph 94 of his notes in relation to the manufacture of aircraft. So, I gather, does the Canadian Government. We favour a total prohibition of manufacture. We merely argue that certain exemptions might be permitted since, if we agree upon prohibition of manufacture, we can easily control imports.
MR. FRASER: I think the economic ground is incidental.
MR. CLAXTON: Yes. I make clear that it would not work an economic hardship on Japan to impose a prohibition against manufacture. A further point is that convertibility of plant is not the only question involved. There is also the question of the continued existence of research, design, development, teams of skilled workers having the 'know-how', and the assembly of special types of machinery, jigs, and patterns, which all go to make up a military potential. If a country manufactures civil aircraft, a war potential must exist.
DR. EVATT: We were told before the beginning of the war against Japan that the fighter plane used in Malaya, the Brewster Buffalo, was superior to anything that the Japanese might produce, but the whole course of the war in the Pacific was altered by the manoeuvrability of the Zero. We have learned that the Japanese people build wherever possible in secret. The great naval base at Kure was practically prohibited to the people. Workers were not allowed to leave the big machine shops. I feel that, in the interests of other nations, we should not permit the manufacture of aircraft in Japan. I again assure Mr. Rafi that there is no economic reason whatever for my proposal.
MR. RAFI: I fail to appreciate the difficulty of controlling the manufacture of aircraft. If such a difficulty applies to the control of civil aviation, why will not the same difficulty affect the control of other forms of manufacture? DR. EVATT: Mr. Claxton has already dealt with that question. I think you will realise that a prohibition is much more easily enforced than a form of regulation over manufacture. Also, once there is an industrial potential covering the manufacture of aircraft for civil purposes, there is a potential for the manufacture of fighting aircraft.
MR. CLAXTON: As an illustration, I refer to the fact that Canada is developing a civil transport type of jet-propelled aircraft. In the same shop, the same people are working on a long-range jet- propelled fighter. If we wanted to keep the latter work secret we could continue work on the transport machine and at the same time work in secret on the military machine without making any major changes in technique, personnel, patterns, or jigs.
DR. EVATT: The same clause which rejected the suggestion contained in Section 94 of 'Preliminary Notes on Provisional Agenda', circulated by myself, was contained in the Treaty of Versailles, under which the Germans were forbidden to have an air force but were permitted to possess and operate aircraft. We all know how, from glider clubs, they built up a huge military air force.
MR. FRASER: I think that it is almost impossible, and utterly impracticable, to prevent any country from carrying on civil aviation. Either democracy or totalitarianism will predominate in Japan. If the Japanese people are made to feel that democracy unfairly handicaps and restricts them by all sorts of annoying prohibitions, they will inevitably turn to the alternative philosophy. That is the real danger, as I see it. I agree that we should prohibit the manufacture of aircraft, even civil aircraft, for the reasons enumerated by Mr. Claxton. On the other hand our experience during the war taught us that it was not easy to transform civil aviation plants to production of military machines. By all means let us have international control of the air, with international supervision for the time being, but let the Japanese operate their own internal airlines.
MR. DEDMAN: My defence advisers are most emphatically of the opinion that the Japanese should not be allowed to possess or to operate civil aircraft. Their apprehension derives from our experience during the recent war, and some of us who were very close to events feel that if the Japanese, instead of landing in New Guinea, had made straight for Australia, this country would have fallen into their possession. Members of Conference can appreciate, therefore, our very real apprehension of the Japanese being permitted to possess and operate aircraft. Apparently the Conference is unanimously of the opinion that Japan ought not to be allowed to manufacture aircraft, but there seems to be some difference of opinion as to whether it ought be allowed to possess and operate civil aircraft. I acknowledge the force of Mr.
McNeil's argument that for certain purposes civil aircraft may be considered an essential to a modern nation, but perhaps his point could be met if the words, 'Subject to certain exceptions, Japan should be forbidden to possess or operate civil aircraft' were written into the Treaty. If a system were introduced of licensing aircraft imported into Japan complete control could be established. I realise that aircraft are required to carry mails, for use in connection with the agricultural and the fishing industries and to act as air ambulances, and I believe that we must assist Japan by permitting the use of aircraft for these purposes, particularly in regard to her fisheries, which are an important means of supplying food. At the same time, because of the very definite views of myself and my service advisers, I am entirely opposed to the operation of unlimited numbers of aircraft in Japan.
MR. FRASER: There is no question of Japan being permitted to have unlimited numbers of aircraft. As against the advice of Mr.
Dedman's service advisors, we have our service advisors, whose advice is at least equally sound. The real point is, are we to permit other nations' air-lines to operate in Japan, thereby exploiting the Japanese people? I submit that such a view is quite untenable. If we are to have a democratic Japan, is it reasonable for us to say to the Japanese that they cannot be trusted even to operate their own internal air services? SIR RAMA RAU: I am rather impressed by what Mr. Fraser has just said, and I confine my suggested restrictions on Japanese aviation to the manufacture of aircraft. Obviously, such services as air mails and medical services must be permitted.
MR. LAWRENCE: I think Mr. Dedman acceded to that when he suggested some system of licensing aircraft. I agree with the delegates for Canada, India and New Zealand that we should permit civil aviation to operate. The point was made yesterday that opportunities must be given the Japanese of building up their economy because industry means employment and prosperity. I am not advised on the military aspects of the problem, but I have in mind the fifty machines which comprised South Africa's civil aviation aircraft in July 1939. I know that those aircraft were virtually harmless from a military point of view. Therefore, I feel that we are, perhaps, attaching too great a significance to the possession of a fleet of civil aircraft. I do not think that there would be any real danger if the number of planes permitted Japan was restricted. However, I agree that their manufacture should be prohibited. The delegate for Pakistan asked what necessity there is for this prohibition, if we retain control of their operation? I think that the answer to that contention was supplied yesterday when we were told that the Japanese are a patient race. We know from past experience how easy it is for us to be lulled into a false sense of security. If a prohibition on the manufacture of civil aircraft is not included in the Treaty I do not think we shall be able to insist on such a prohibition later.
MR. McNEIL: With the exception of the delegate for Pakistan we all agree, from our experience, that there are very good security reasons for prohibiting the manufacture of aircraft and aircraft components, and I think we should include such a provision in the Treaty. The difference amongst members begins to appear when we consider the views expressed by Mr. Dedman. We all know that nowadays there are multiple air services, and I think that that is something which can scarcely be prohibited. Dr. Evatt remarked yesterday that he thought we were making a Carthaginian peace, and I think he was justified in making that remark. But if we are going to deny to the Japanese people modern services which most countries have been enjoying for the last 25 years, I think we will most assuredly be making a Carthaginian peace. We might as well go on to prohibit the continued existence of the automobile industry. If we permit the operation of a limited number of air services, such as medical transports, 'spotters' for agriculture and fisheries, and mails, we must consider how the Japanese are to staff and operate the services. The only alternative would be the acceptance of Dr. Evatt's proposal that civil aviation should be operated by a non-Japanese concern-an 'international corporation'- but that would involve the employment of an army of non-Japanese nationals, which does not seem practicable. On the other hand, if the air services are to be operated by Japanese, we have to ask ourselves where the Japanese are to be trained? Are we to permit Japan to maintain an air service for the training of the personnel? I think our approach to this problem should be to start with a complete prohibition on the manufacture of aircraft, to insist upon a rigorous scrutiny of aircraft licences, and then to grant permission to the Japanese to train pilots for civil aviation. I realise that there is an apprehension that civil air pilots may easily become pilots of military aircraft, but from our own experience I think that that apprehension is largely unfounded. If this course is followed and an efficient inspectorate is appointed to supervise the operation of Japanese civil airlines and the training of civilian pilots, the requirements of international security should be sufficiently safeguarded. Otherwise I think we shall create in the minds of the Japanese a feeling of social stigma which will produce the greatest resentment. Furthermore, the denial of these facilities to the Japanese people must impose considerable economic burdens on them.
DR. EVATT: Mr. McNeil, I understand, favours the prohibition of any aviation manufacturing industry, but suggests the introduction of a system of control of imports. I am anxious that we should give Japan every opportunity for economic recovery consistent with international security.
MR. FRASER: I think that the advent of international civil aviation is not far distant. The discussions which took place at the Chicago Conference in 1944 support this view, and I suggest that we might make a start with Japan. I have no doubt that civil aviation can be internationalised effectively.
DR. EVATT: We have received a similar suggestion from our civil aviation advisers, who think that Japan might be required to make an unqualified surrender of sovereignty over her air space. I think that the future of Japanese civil aviation is one of the great problems for the Peace Conference to solve. The discussion this morning has been most valuable.

[369] Grading Dysplasia in Mucin-Producing Cystic Neoplasms of the Pancreas on Fine Needle Aspiration.
Mark Fons, Mohammad Atieh, Girish Venkataraman, Beatriz Sanchez, Sherri Yong, Guliz Barkan, Eva Wojcik, Umesh Kapur. Loyola University Health Center, Maywood, IL
Background: In mucin-producing neoplasms of the pancreas, the best predictor of prognosis is the presence of invasive carcinoma. 10% of mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) and 30% of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) harbor invasion. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a primary modality for diagnosis of these lesions; however, grading dysplasia and detecting invasion in these lesions by cytology poses a diagnostic challenge. Our aim is to determine cytomorphologic features of high-grade dysplasia and invasion.
Design: A database search was performed for purely cystic, pancreatic FNAs over a 10 year period (2000-2010) which had histologic follow-up. Non-diagnostic cases on FNA were excluded. Diff-Quik and Papanicolau stained direct smears were scored blindly for the presence of 23 cytologic features without knowledge of histologic outcome: Mucinous background, cellularity, small cell groups, flat sheets, cellular crowding, 3-dimensional (3D) clusters, glandular formation, necrosis, nuclear pleomorphism, high N/C ratio, nuclear grooves, nuclear membrane irregularity, nuclear overlapping, nuclear molding, nucleoli, nuclear enlargement, parachromatin clearing, hyperchromasia, single intact cells, papillae, mitoses, and atypical mitoses. On a four point scale, scores of 0 or 1 were considered negative for a feature, while scores of 2 or 3 were considered positive. Chi-square analysis was performed to determine the cytomorphologic features that are predictive of dysplasia.
Results: 31 cases of MCNs by FNA (24 female,7 male, average age = 64 years), of which 12 were adenocarcinomas, 13 were IPMNs [6 low, 4 moderate, 3 high-grade dysplasia] and 6 were mucinous cystadenomas [4 low, 1 moderate, 1 high-grade dysplasia] on histology. The cytomorphologic features most predictive of high-grade dysplasia and carcinoma combined were: Presence of prominent nucleoli (P=0.031), small cell groups (P=0.006), 3D clusters (P=0.027). In addition, the presence of single intact cells (P=0.022) and mitoses (P=0.038) were found to be suggestive of invasion.
Conclusions: - The diagnosis of high-grade dysplasia and invasive carcinoma in mucin-producing cystic neoplasms of the pancreas can be suggested using the cytomorphologic features.
- High-grade dysplasia and invasive carcinoma was found in a significant number [55%] of the cases presented in this study
- Grading of dysplasia on FNA may aid in guiding theraputic intervention in select patients

Feb 10th 2012 9:47AM ChaseHammerJ I completely agree. I think we should have this now. We can display our Mog sets, our old weapons (again used for Mog). If Blizzard added them I would so buy one. FYI I have played the game since 2008, and I am not a kid IRL I am 40 :) (and Married with kids, and have a real job in Aeospace) so I am not a noob :)

Today I relearned an important lesson: Don't be stubborn or cheap.
After a $600 tow job, and more than three $50 parking tickets, sleepless nights of worrying (no exaggeration) and hours spent strategically moving my car in and out of a garage nearby that charges $6/day from 6am-6:30pm as long you get in before 10am, I gave in.
In this age of sharing, I thought I could easily find a car share deal or find someone that I could rent from for $100/month for an outdoor spot within 30 minute public transit of my house. Turns out, that's not so. At least, not for the time being.
If you move to San Francisco and want to live downtown, I highly recommend you either find a friends house to park your car ahead of time or plan to find a garage. Luckily, I found a garage near me that charges $175/month with in an out privileges in an enclosed garage. When I leave to travel for a month or two at a time, I can put my car in a lot that charges around $75/month for no in-and-out privileges (just storage) or offer it to a friend to use while I'm gone.
I could park in front of my house and still worry about street cleaning, parking for over 72 hours in the same spot and being towed or ohhh yah that side of the street across from my apartment that magically turns into a lane at 3pm daily. I can remember all these things, sure. To get a parking permit, I have to pay $98 per year (cheap!), show a copy of my license (wallet stolen a few weeks ago), current registration (smog failed because of some $500 sensor error / check engine light) and proof of residency.
For now, no more hoop jumping or wishful thinking. I have a parking spot and that's cleared out my division of time and space to think and be inspired. What's the value of that?
Mental/emotional capacity are what give me strength, productivity and the ability to move forward. You take that away and all monthly expenses have diminished in value. I think about spillover costs/benefits a lot in decision making, but somehow this one slipped through the cracks.
So, pay for parking and look outside of Craigslist and scrappy solutions. Try sanfrancisco.bestparking.com. Or SELL YOUR CAR!
Wait, wait, wait! What about car sharing?
You can use Zipcar or City Car Share for short errands and rent a car for weekend trips. Zipcar doesn't work for overnight trips because they charge hourly and then a hefty overnight fee, so it can end up being $100/day or more. If you're going to an event or to a party an hour away, it's still not the greatest. If you drive 1 hour there and back, that's 2 hours. Then, you might spend 3-4 hours there. Now, you're up to 6 hours and at $8 an hour, that's $48. Yowza. Public transit: yes please!
This whole ordeal still has me thinking –> What will it take for our society to be able/want to share cars/space? See, I have a car, but no space. I'm sure there are other people with space, but no car. Why isn't it easy to share with all of the technology we have today. What if there was something that combined the tenants of Zipcar with individuals, virtual calendars and a standardized unlocking system? Does this already exist? I'm sure it does somewhere. Let's make it go big. Technology and society are ready for this!

"Everlasting" certainly isn't a misnomer for this long-wearing pressed-powder bronzer. The finely milled texture applies color evenly and is richly pigmented, so keep in mind that a light dusting goes a long way.
The shades are pearlized with gold shimmer, which may be too obvious for some, especially on oily skin where shine is already present naturally. If the shimmer isn't a deterrent, this is a very good fragrance-free bronzer option for light to medium-dark skin tones.
Celebrity makeup lines are nothing new—we've seen dozens of them over the years—but this one is a first in that it shocked us a bit, and we are not easily shocked. Kat Von D's claim to fame is her successful tattooing enterprise, and her role as a former reality TV show star—she also was once engaged to Sandra Bullock's ex-husband. (You just can't make this kind of stuff up.) Despite the ups and downs of her back-story, Kat Von D is now a makeup entrepreneur, and a good one.
The line launched in 2007 with only two eyeshadow palettes, cream lipstick, and eyeliner, but since has expanded by adding several new products, including the High Voltage Skin eyeshadow primer and Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick—both of which received our top rating. Also worth checking out are Sin-Full Mascara and Painted Love Lipstick. Just like most makeup lines, this is one to shop carefully; for every great product, there's one that underperforms or ends up being a waste of money.
Kat Von D's line of makeup products is actually quite good for the most part, and far better than we were expecting. This is definitely a brand to consider assuming you're OK with the prices and the knowledge that in most cases you can find similar and even better options available for far less. (We are not okay with doing expensive when less expensive can knock your socks off!)
All Kat Von D makeup products come packaged with the line's signature images of roses and thorns (perhaps to reinforce Von D's love of tattoo design), which definitely makes these products stand out among a sea of blandly packaged makeup containers.

My lender is using the wrong index when resetting my ARM. Help!
Q: I think my lender is using the wrong index when resetting my ARM's interest rate. What do I do?
A: There can be instances where the mortgage lender can change the index used to govern your adjustable rate mortgage. This is usually allowed in instances where a given index is no longer made available by its source; in such cases, a substitute can be used. This most recently happened with the merging of a number of banking regulators, which discontinued certain cost-of-funds indexes, for example.
That said, if you have documentation which shows that it should have been a LIBOR-based ARM, or it was a Treasury-based ARM where they used the LIBOR, for example, you should get in touch with your mortgage servicer as soon as possible.
It might also be a good idea to thoroughly review your mortgage note or adjustable-rate rider to determine the proper index name and source, and even take the time to calculate what your interest rate should have been at each adjustment, so you can know whether or not you might be due a refund.
To double check your lender's calculation, be sure to utilize HSH.com's ARM Rate Check Kit. This kit explains step-by-step how to calculate your new interest rate.
In the event of an error in the adjustment of an ARM's interest rate, regulations generally required that the lender is liable for any overcharges, while you are not responsible for any shortages as a result of the lender's error.
Honest mistakes can and do happen. Also, you might even find that things have worked out in your favor, for now at least. Still, that is unlikely to always be the case, so you'll want to correct the error sooner rather than later.

37.5 cents of every gallon of gas you buy goes to pay federal, state, and local taxes. That amounts to an annual gas tax burden of $271 for every American.
Since road construction is a state and local obligation, state or local gas taxes may make some sense. After all, people who use the highways and byways should share in paying for their construction and upkeep.
But the federal gas tax, 18.4 cents per gallon, is a different matter entirely. Originally levied in the 1950s to pay for the construction of the interstate highway system, the tax survives even though the highway system has long since been completed.
Today the federal gas tax funds pork, and lots of it. August's federal highway bill, funded by the federal gas tax, is a $286 billion collection of pet projects and politically motivated giveaways, including $233 million for "Don Young's Way," an Anchorage, Alaska bridge named after the House transportation committee chairman.
Arizona Reps. John Shadegg and Jeff Flake, who along with Sens. John McCain and John Kyl, admirably voted against the highway bill, have various proposals to suspend or reduce the federal gas tax.
That would be a smart way to make gas more affordable.

BOSTON (AP) - Boston police say three more suspects have been taken into custody in the marathon bombings.
In a tweet Wednesday morning, the police department says only that three more suspects are in custody and more details will follow. Police spokeswoman Cheryl Fiandaca confirmed the tweet but referred all other questions to the FBI.
Three people were killed and more than 260 injured on April 15 when two bombs exploded near the finish line.
Suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev died after a gunfight with police several days later. His brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, was captured and lies in a hospital prison.
Both are Russian natives who lived for several years in the U.S. They are accused of using a weapon of mass destruction.

Hi everyone...we are finally getting ready to start our build. The foundation was up last Fall & insulation & Bituthane was delivered today.
It's been a real eye opener during my course-of-construction insurance research. Since we aren't going through a bank it's much harder to find what we want. It's boiled down to two options at this point: Option A. With State Farm, full coverage, materials during transport, storage on property, and an earthquake rider. Caveat: Only insure for a year...iffy for renewal...they don't like long & drawn-out builds. Option B. Zurich. No insurance during transport or storing on property & no insurance riders. We live in an earthquake zone so that feature is very desirable. (Old Valdez was destroyed in the '64 earthquake). BUT, they will renew if not completed within a year. We do have a locked 40-ft connex that we can store materials in. We live on the property so someone will be here 24/7 most of the time. We're not sure if we'll be able to completely finish within a year. I'd hate to have that hanging over my head. But, I'd also hate to have a 9.2 magnum earthquake hanging, too! Is it possible to insure with both companies? I couldn't find anything on the net. Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oops...wrong word in title...sorry. Don't know how to make it a permanent change. |
Generally, I'd not want to insure with both...it complicates any claims--they will fight over who will be paying. Can you start with one, aim to complete within one year, but if you don't make it, at least have a livable area in one year, so that you can just get house insurance and complete it as an extension of your home insurance? Is that an option? |
I asked the agent at State Farm & she said we have to completely finished in order to transfer to a regular policy. We'd like to at least get it to the point of just having interior things left to do before the snow hits. We'll contract certain inside elements. I'll be ready for the Old Folk's Home by the time I move in! :) |

Here are next week's assignments. I'll be busy this weekend, which is why I'm posting them early.
Appetiser: Meredith
Follow-Up Postings:
I've also got a busy weekend and couple of days off next week, so I'll hurry and post the entree now: Parmesan-Crusted Halibut 1/2 cup flour Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat olive oil in ovenproof pan (I used my LeCreuset). Saute the fillets in on medium-high until golden-brown crust forms. Turn fillets over and place pan in preheated oven. Roast until centers are pearly white and opaque. This recipe was posted on Cooking by hoopysmom and it's delicious, and I just love halibut nearly any way. I use my biggest cast iron skillet because I can brown the fish then just pop it right into the oven. Annie |
This is great with a gin & tonic or a cold glass of white wine. I prepare the cheese spread in a Cuisinart, but can most certainly do this all by hand. I have never used exact measurements when making this, but it is so simple you cannot mess it up. Peppered Cheese Toast 1 block jalapeno Monterey jack cheese, shredded about 1/2 onion, grated (I use yellow onions) 5 or 6 finely chopped jalapeno pepper slices from the jar (if you like things really hot & I do) mayonnaise to bind it all together really well 1 loaf party rye bread Mix everything except the bread; spread fairly thick on slices of party rye (the little mini loaves of bread). Place on a cookie sheet, & bake on 450 until bubbly and slightly browned. THAT'S IT!! |
Well then, just for the halibut, here is Kohlrabi Soup 1 chicken, cup up Cook chicken for 30 minutes in salted water to cover. Peel the cohlrabi and cut into julienne strips. Add to the chicken with the salt and continue cooking until chicken and kohlrabi are tender, about another 25-30 minutes. Remove chicken and sohlrabi; set aside separately. Defat the broth. In a small skillet, wilt the parsley in butter or lard; add the flour and blend. Stir in 1 cup of the soup and continue stirring and cooking unmtil thick and smooth. Thin with remaining soup. Remove chicken from bones and cut inmto bite-sized pieces. Return chicken and cohlrabi to soup and heat to boiling. Mix the egg yolks with the cream; temper mixture with a little hot soup and stir into the soup. Makes 8-12 servings. |
Yum. I picked up some halibut cheeks today. That might be a nice way to do them since dh doesn't like nekkid fish (I like my cheeks simply sauteed with some butter and garlic. He'd put tartar sauce on it ((shudder)). This is my new favorite marinara sauce. Our neighbor made huge pots of it for her son's Italian-themed wedding and I couldn't believe how simple it was. It's really a non-recipe...proportions aren't important. The quality and the variety of the tomatoes makes a huge difference though. This is how we like it, though I do toss in fresh basil when I have it...or a splash of red wine... Pasta with Lynn's Marinara Sauce 1 whole bulb garlic - peeled and chopped Saute the garlic in olive oil until tender. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer until thick. Serve over pasta and top with freshly grated Parmesan and pepper. |
GL - I need to take this opportunity to tell you that I'm going on a 2 week vacation (to Ireland) and I won't be available until the July 5 Progressive Dinner. I hope somebody new will join in! With fish I always like to make some kind of crispy potatoes and a dark green veggie - so I flipped a coin and here is what I decided upon to go with the halibut this week. CRISPY POTATO CUBES 1/3 cup all-purpose flour In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, thyme, rosemary and pepper. Add potatoes, seal bag and shake to coat. Pour butter into a 13 x 9 baking dish, stir in garlic. Add potatoes. Cover and bake at 450 for 20 minutes, uncover and stir, bake 15-20 minutes longer or until potatoes are lightly browned and tender. 4 servings |
Have a great time in the Auld Sod, Woodie. |
When Woodie flipped the coin and came up with a potato side, it helped me to figure out the other side. I have always liked peas with fish, so here ya go... Sugar Snap Peas with Parsley Recipe Place peas in pot and add 1 inch water. Add a little salt, a teaspoon of sugar and a couple of pats of butter to the pot. Bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook until peas are tender but still bright green, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chopped parsley. Transfer peas to a serving dish. Nancy |

This is a summer favorite of ours! Summer Tomato Salad 1 lb fresh tomatoes or 2 1/2 c chopped Wash and core the tomatoes and chop in 1/2 inch or smaller pieces and place in 2 qt bowl. Slice the grapes in half, (quarter them if they are large) and add to bowl. Dice cucumber and finely dice onion and add to bowl. Add feta cheese and dressing, toss to combine, sprinkle almonds over and serve. Shelley |

So, a fancier version of a "Fish and Chips" dinner, eh? We used to have fish for dinner every friday. We didn't often eat dessert (mostly just special occasions) but if my grandparents came to dinner, there was usually an apple crisp. My recipe is more like a method LOL. Peel, core, and slice enough apples to fill a pyrex pie plate. Toss them with some sugar and cinnamon to taste. I like to use brown sugar because I think it has a better flavour. Some people prefer to keep the colours lighter and use white sugar. Mix 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add some more cinnamon if you like. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture has lumps the size of peas. Stir in 1/2 cup oats. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples, and pat it down a bit. Bake in a 350-375 oven until the filling is bubbly, the apples are soft, and the top has browned a bit. When I made it with granny smith apples it took almost an hour, with macintosh it was closer to 30 minutes so check often. Allow to cool for a bit. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. |

Use of White Model for Grocer's Ad Exposes Raw Nerve in Howard University Community
A Giant Food Store in Washington, D.C. is currently at the center of a firestorm of criticism from Howard University student and alumni over an ad that employs a White model to encourage shopping at a just-renovated store.
In an attempt to give a warm 'welcome back' to students returning from their winter break, the company ran a full-page ad in early January telling students at the O Street Giant Market that they were ready for their business.
There was just one problem– the Caucasian woman featured in the front-page print ad did little to entice students at the historically Black university– in fact it did just the opposite.
The Howard community has been blasting the company on social media for the faux pas ever since the ad surfaced late last week.
Thomas Houston, a Howard grad who said he was a brand management specialist, asked the store's circular team to quickly fix the ad via Twitter.
"HU is a historically Black college. Applauding Giant for reaching out to my alma mater, but this was a marketing fail on their team," he said before explaining that the region's ad should have been either changed to reflect local demographics or something "creative" with no images of people.
Even White customers questioned why the store would use a White model to welcome back a predominantly Black population of students.
"Giant Food Stores, you can do better than this," said London transplant Mikey Franklin, who now lives in D.C.
Still others didn't get the controversy.
"I can't see what is the issue?" asked Christine Perkett, a White visitor from Boston.
According to the 2013 Howard University Undergraduate Graduating Student Exit Survey, 0.4 percent of the HBCU's most recent graduating class was Caucasian.
A little more than 84 percent are African American, 6 percent are African, and Hispanic and Asian students both made up just over one percent.
Although Giant Food spokesman Jamie Miller did not immediately respond to request for comment, a sister company, Giant Food Stores, in Carlisle, Pa. said that their sister company was addressing the situation with the university, and apologizing for the photo that wasn't "reflective of Howard."

Southern Africa Safaris
Southern Africa Tours
The diversity of luxury travel and safari opportunities in Southern Africa is immense. A trip to South Africa not only shows you the country's eclectic cultural mix and widely varied landscapes, but it offers you excellent safari game viewing. Travel in open four-wheel-drive vehicles for unobstructed views of the bush. On a Southern Africa safari, stay in some of the country's best luxury lodges with opportunities to spot game from the front door. For a different experience, head down through the Cape Winelands to sample varietals of South Africa's premium wines. In Cape Town, discover luxury hotels, a gorgeous harbor and top restaurants and shopping.
View Zambia's wildlife on walking safari tours and on leisurely boat rides on the Zambezi River. Don't miss the spectacular cascades of Victoria Falls, the jewel of Southern Africa and a natural wonder Zambia shares with Zimbabwe.
Botswana's luxury camps and lodges are consistently named the world's best, and a safari here takes you deep into the Okavango Delta — a hidden oasis in an otherwise water-starved land — to spot the local wildlife. Go on a Southern Africa safari tour in Botswana's Chobe National Park to see the highest concentration of elephant in South Africa.
A Namibia safari may take you out on an ATV over red desert dunes or soaring across the Skeleton Coast in search of ancient shipwrecks. Take a safari game drive through the lush savannah of Etosha National Park, home to Southern African plains game such as giraffe, wildebeest and zebra.

'Dexter' Actor Leaving Showtime Series During Season 7 (EXCLUSIVE)
Miami Metro Homicide is losing yet another detective...
A major character on Showtime's hit serial killer drama Dexter is leaving the show, a source close to the production confirms exclusively to Celebuzz.
Who's meeting their maker on the cable hit?
Actor Billy Brown, who joined the show on Season 6 as Detective Mike Anderson -- a sharply dressed transfer from Chicago with an impressive solve rate -- is leaving on the upcoming season. And we hear Mike could be leaving the old fashioned way -- by getting killed off!
Brown departs the show just as several new actors have joined the cast in recurring roles, including Chuck star Yvonne Strahovski, who will play Hannah McKay, a strong, independent woman with a violent past that she's struggled to put behind her. Dexter (Michael C. Hall) crosses paths with Hannah when Miami Metro Homicide seeks her help in solving old cases.
Jason Gedrick (Luck, Desperate Housewives) is also joining the cast of Dexter on Season 7. He'll play the manager of a Miami-area gentlemen's club that becomes linked to a high-profile murder case at the Miami Metro Homicide division.
A Showtime rep tells Celebuzz they have no comment on Brown's departure.
The new season of Dexter premieres on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 9 PM on Showtime.
Will you miss Mike Anderson on the show? Leave us a comment and let us know!

As silly as her role in the band may have seemed to her, Ingham's contributions to Windows managed to catch the ear of fellow musician Brian Nevin, now best known as the drummer for Big Head Todd and the Monsters. Nevin currently plays drums on The Sun I Built in You, Ingham's CD-in-the-making (a five-tune CD sampler can be purchased at her shows), and he has also played some local gigs as part of her band, when he's not out touring with the Monsters. Like Nahulu, Nevin has seen his share of top-rate talent across the country, and he's got a lot of good things to say about this particular Boulderite. "I like the fact that she rocks, that she's got a rock-and-roll attitude," he says. "Her music affects me the way Pat Benatar's music did (though it doesn't sound the same), in the classic-rock, big-chord, epic rock-ballad way. There's not a lot of female musicians in that niche."
Thematically, Ingham's music deals primar- ily with the most basic of emotions: love and the struggles of life. Holding a mirror to a musician's life in "Race," she delves metaphorically into how "disposable" a person can be if she can't bring a profit to someone: "They say this horse may never ride again/Broke his leg therefore he can't win/And we all do play/For we don't believe in your pain." Though she is prone to unabashed, rock-based guitar playing, many of Ingham's tracks have a dreamy kind of quality, like the mellow "Did I Lie," a song that describes the ups and downs of a relationship. Kicking off with a simple military-esque drumbeat from Nevin, the tune unfolds with guitars reminiscent of the Cranberries or even the Sundays as Inhgam sings about a "magic carpet ride" of love that her beau is trying to push away.
In 1996, Ingham was fixing to take her own magic ride. She was slated to release her major-label debut, a solo effort, on Relativity Records, a company under the Sony umbrella. After she'd recorded nearly half the songs for the CD, and just as she was shopping around for a producer, Relativity went all urban and shipped its rock department to Epic Records, whose execs told Ingham they needed time to "figure some things out." Crestfallen after coming so close to finishing up her first major release, she took some time off and went to Hawaii. Shortly thereafter, she became pregnant, which took her life temporarily into "another dimension," as she explains it. Six months after the birth of son Tiger, now four, Ingham was back on the coffeehouse and local music circuit, playing solo. "I knew that I was serious about my career, getting back in shape and back into writing and getting my voice," she says.
In searching for that voice, Ingham knew she wanted to get a band together, to help round out her sound and bring out the rock qualities of her songwriting. She joined up with some fellow local musicians, but finding the right combination of players took a while. "I did form a band, but it was just with a group of friends," she explains. "People liked what they heard, but it wasn't anything unique. To have any endurance or to make any impression, you need that certain magic"
Ingham found the right combination of elements when she hooked up with Todd Ayers (formerly of Twice Wilted, now of Antelope), who helped arrange, produce and play on her CD. An admirer of his music for years, Ingham views Ayers as a role model and mentor of sorts, and she credits him in part for her musical success today. "Todd, to me, embodies a [complete musician], with his music and his playing. So it makes logical sense -- if you hang out with somebody, they rub off on you. And I stole some of his cool chords," she says with a giggle.
While she works on those cool chords, and finishes up the CD project that seems to linger on, and continues to shop her sound to national groups as they come through town, Ingham is at peace with herself musically -- despite the occasional anxiety attack that the big break hasn't boomeranged back her way. "Ideally and philosophically, there was a place that I wanted my music to resonate from and that I wanted to come from as a person," she says. "When somebody writes a script for a movie, they have certain actors and actresses in mind for the roles, because they know the combination of the words and the intentions mixed with this person's vibe would just make it all come to fruition and [be] real. That's a really good analogy for the reason why my music is working, because it's something that I've been cultivating for years."

Hello, As a disclaimer... I'm not a flooring installer or contractor by trade, but I have completed many home repairs and improvements over the past 5 years. I've done a lot of reading (on this site and others), but I understand I'm not an expert and may be headed down the wrong path. We are planning to install strand bamboo flooring in our kitchen. We have decided to go with Cali Bamboo, but we are still trying to decide between a couple of options. This will be installed as a floating (click-lock) floor. The subfloor is 5/8 plywood over 16" on center floor joists. Here are the two options we are considering. 1) Laying the "Solid Bamboo Click Flooring" (which is 9/16 x 5 1/8 x 72 7/8) directly over the existing subfloor. Total thickness: 2.5mm underlayment + 9/16" flooring = 0.66" 2) Putting down layer of 3/8" plywood on top of the existing subfloor, and then laying the "Economy Solid Click Lock Bamboo Flooring" (which is 3/8 x 3 3/16 x 36) over the 3/8" plywood. Total thickness: 3/8" plywood + 2.5mm underlayment + 3/8" flooring = 0.85" In either case, we will be using the recommended underlayment / moisture barrier and the flooring will run perpendicular to / across the floor joists. Option 1 would result in the kitchen floor being closer to the same height as the other floors in the house, but I feel like beefing up the subfloor (option 2) would make for a more solid floor in the end. Would we be asking for trouble if we don't add to the subfloor? Thanks, -Greg |
Here is a link that might be useful: Cali Bamboo
Follow-Up Postings:
5/8" subfloor sounds a bit thin but my preference would be to have the thicker floor material. All click-lock floors will have a little give so between the give in the floor underlayment and the give in the subfloor you might have some noticeable movement. |

I'm about a month-and-a-half into having my worm bin and noticed the other day that I've got a couple mushrooms sprouting up in my second bin. has anyone else experienced mushrooms in their bins? Are they good, bad or indifferent for the worms and castings? The mushrooms are definately not morels, or portabellos or the other ones you get from the store. they have a flowery looking cap and long narrow stem, mostly white with maybe a bit of blue in the cap. there's no manure in my compost, so I don't think they are that "other" type of mushroom either. Anyone have any idea how the spores could have gotten into my bin? I keep them in my basement, its been below freezing outside since before I started the bins and am using mostly coffee grounds, shredded office paper and beer grain as compost. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I do not know where your spores are from, but mushrooms in your bin is OK. I have had them at times in my outdoor bins. I just pull them and leave in te bin as worm food. Also I have picked wild mushrooms around the yard and tossed them in the bin. Good luck, Pete |

I love it when I get things sprouting in my bin. I got potatoes sprouting from potato peels. Note: not from potatoes but from the peels! I couldn't believe it. These weren't thick peels either. They were thin thin thin. Man those casting are great! |

This recipe is incredible. I used homemade hummus instead of the pre-packaged stuff. This is defintiely a keeper.
This was so easy and delicious. Because I was cooking for two, I halved the recipe so only used one pepper (the red bell). I used hummus from Trader Joe's and the recipe was so quick it was almost faster than stopping for fast food. This will be a regular at our house.
Who would have thought that chicken and hummus would taste so elegant together? This is so easy to make, and can be served as a special meal for company or as a quick dish when you're tired and don't feel like cooking much. I make a large batch of hummus with cumin using this recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Hummus-237832 and freeze some of it so I can put this together quickly at any time.
This is a wonderful recipe we make regularly now. It is so quick and easy for a weeknight meal! I am gluten-free, so I enjoy this dish with blue corn tortilla chips instead of pita bread.Love it!
I thought this recipe was great. So very easy. I could not find Italian frying or Cubanella. I substituted Anaheim and yellow banana along with the red. My husband requested next time make more peppers. Also used a spicy hummus from Whole Foods. Will make this again and again.
This was really simple and very tasty. I only had 1 lb chicken breast and substituted 1 head of broccoli (florets only) for the peppers and onions. I had to take the broccoli out after 8 min to prevent too much charring and left the chicken in for another few minutes. I have a bottom drawer broiler so can't adjust the dish position relative to the heat. Served it with "Hummus with Yogurt and Lemon" recipe from this site. Great combo - would definitely serve again.
This recipe is incredibly easy! I doubled the spices and added 2 or 3 cloves of garlic. I had time so I marinated the chicken for a few hours. Had an Anaheim and jalepeno pepper, so I used those. Wow! My broiler was 6 in. from the pan....the only thing I will do differently next time is to put the pan higher for a few minutes to get a better char. Try this one!!
Needed something easy, yet flavorful and a bit unique, for guests and this filled the need. The preparation was all done before guests arrived and the cooking takes place without you and is quick, so it's good for entertaining, as you have time with guests.---- Variations: Marinated the chicken in the spiced oil a few hours (with a little extra spice and garlic); added artichoke hearts and just used the red onion, with plain green, yellow, and red peppers. Served with bowls of feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and toasted pine nuts to put on at their discretion. VERY tasty!

The Complete Monterey Pop Festival
At the time, Monterey Pop helped turn the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival into a mythic event. Today, what's most touching about D. A. Pennebaker's famous documentary is the participants' uncertainty that it was going to be anything of the kind. Besides the Mamas and the Papas, festival maestro John Phillips's own group, the only performers who rate more than one number here are Otis Redding and, less deservingly, Jefferson Airplane—who, guess what, stank even then. But even if you never adored her, it's a thrill to see Janis Joplin at the literal moment—midway through "Ball and Chain"—when her legend took hold. Fellow legend Jimi Hendrix's shticked-up "Wild Thing" leaves you marveling that he ever went on to become one, and that's before he torches his ax in a shameless bid to top the Who's battering-ram climax to "My Generation." Bet Pete Townshend never guessed he was providing AARP with a future magazine title.
The President's Last Bang
Can you imagine a docudrama about Lincoln's assassination that had the nerve to turn John Wilkes Booth into the glum-eyed hero of a comedy of errors? We neither, but we're not as waggish as Korean director Im Sangsoo. With sensational effrontery, The President's Last Bang sardonically re-creates the chaotic night in 1979 when President Park Chung Hee was gunned down by his intelligence chief—a would-be Brutus who realized too late he didn't know what came next. The way the movie tells it, neither did anybody else, and the brilliantly choreographed slapstick view of bigwigs and hangers-on trying to make sense of a blood-drenched shambles is at once funny and compassionate. Not to the autocratic Park, though: In one terrific joke, as his naked body is laid out for autopsy, a general claps a hat over the dead leader's crotch just as the camera is about to expose his package.
Network on DVD
Nobody believed in fighting fire with fire like Paddy Chayefsky, whose specialty was penning crude, vulgarly commercial satires of our crude, vulgarly commercial culture. But for better or worse—and director Sidney Lumet isn't exactly a civilizing influence—1976's Network is Chayefsky's peak. Peter Finch won a posthumous Oscar as anchorman Howard Beale, who scores boffo ratings as "the mad prophet of the airwaves" after cracking up; William Holden is the news vet bemused by the travesty; and Faye Dunaway plays the programming whiz whose soullessness lets Chayefsky pillory career women, the TV generation, and radical politics—a neat threefer. But his excesses are certainly livelier than Good Night, and Good Luck's pieties and—however incoherently—shrewd in anticipating today's brew of tabloid TV, tub-thumping religion, and conglomerate wiles. Be warned, though, that the extras in this two-disc DVD are skimpy: the usual making-of doc, a vintage Dinah Shore interview with Chayefsky, and a recent one with Lumet.
Dog Day Afternoon
Sure, we know: Taxi Driver is the "profound" movie about the pressure-cooker craziness of 1970s New York. But Sidney Lumet's roiling Dog Day Afternoon—based on a true story about a bank holdup that turned into a shambles—is the one that best captures the gonzo, street-carnival side of the era's social breakdowns. As Sonny, the hopelessly conflicted ("I'm dyin' here!") Brooklyn sad sack who plans the heist to finance a sex change for Leon, his gay lover (Chris Sarandon, who's terrific), Al Pacino gives the most beautifully tuned comic performance of his career. Nobody's ever going to call Lumet an elegant director, but his scrambling gusto and avidity for Big Apple chutzpah are hard to fault here. And Sonny's sidekick, Sal, is played by John Cazale, Fredo to Pacino's Michael in the Godfather films and an actor whose tragically early death proves that if God exists, he's one lousy judge of talent.
A DVD homage to the brilliant film pioneer Harold Lloyd
In the silent-comedy sweepstakes, Harold Lloyd comes in a definite third behind those certified geniuses Chaplin and Keaton. But because he's less rarefied, his movies give you the antic flavor of the '20s in ways theirs don't. Lloyd hanging off a skyscraper's giant clock in Safety Last! is one of the most famous images in movie history. That 1923 classic appears�along with fourteen other features, including the football comedy The Freshman and a passel of shorts�in pristine form in New Line's The Harold Lloyd Comedy Collection, which gives you nearly every Lloyd title you could ask for with the single omission of Mad Wednesday, a.k.a. The Sin of Harold Diddlebock, his fractious 1947 collaboration with director Preston Sturges. If you'd rather pick and choose, the films are also available in three separate two-DVD volumes; springing for the whole set adds a bonus disc of interviews, home movies, and tributes.
Criterion trucks in one of the classic thrillers of cinema
Not many movie directors showed humanity at its worst with the kind of relish Henri-Georges Clouzot (Diabolique) brought to the job; compared to the way Clouzot worked audiences over, Alfred Hitchcock was all sweetness and light. In The Wages of Fear, one of the most unforgettable French movies of the '50s, four down-on-their-luck Europeans trapped in a seething South American town try to get out by driving trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over dangerous roads to put out an oil-field fire. The (literally) cliff-hanging tension just about curls your hair, but the real point is Clouzot's ruthless look at how the four leads, including Yves Montand, handle the desperation. The real legacy of Wages is the influence it plainly had on, among others, Sam Peckinpah (The Wild Bunch). This DVD version is from Criterion, which means it's as lavish as restored versions get.

Charity Begins At Home has set out to help fundraise for children with Cerebral Palsy. The main aim and focus is to aid these children in sucessfully travelling to america and paying for their operation at St. Louis Children's Hospital in Missouri. If you know of a child that would benefit from Charity Begins At Home's assistance, please fill out the contact form here
Charity Begins At Home is dedicated to promoting and protecting the health and well-being of children. We reach into communities to offer financial assistance and services to children and organizations that serve children.
Through hard work, thoughtful stewardship, and single-minded focus on the needs of the young, we strive to make a lasting difference in the lives of children, their families, our communities, and the world...one need at a time.
Charity Begins At Home is showing great support for our "Help Cherie Walk" campaign. I am trying to raise money to get my 5-year old daughter Cherie for a life-changing operation to Missouri, USA. Charity begins at home has been collecting funds on our behalf, and also giving us much needed advice for organizing our events and fund raisers. Through Charity begins at home, I have also met other families in same situation, which has been very beneficial. I am very grateful for Charity begins at home's assistance. I am confident that with their continuous help I can make the target of 60 000 euros needed to fund the operation.
Hi, My name is Cherie Anderson, I am 5 years old. My only dream is to be able to walk. I'd like to thank you for taking the time to look at my website. I have a condition called Cerebral Palsy, Spastic Diplegia which means my legs are very stiff, they ache a lot and I need to wear splints every day. I use my walker and wheelchair as my balance is not very good and my legs get tired sometimes. My family and friends are trying to raise enough money to get me to USA for an operation to help me walk and live an independent life. The surgery will also reduce me getting deformity problems in my body as I grow. The operation is called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy or SDR, and is performed by Dr. T.S Park at the St. Louis Children Hospital in Missouri. This operation is not available in Europe yet (except in UK where they have started it at the end of 2011 and a first few children have been now operated).
My website has been setup to help raise awareness and hopefully generate enough support and donations to help me get to America, to have a life changing procedure which will make my legs work better. Our target amount is €60,000. This will cover the SDR operation, orthopaedic surgery for my hamstrings, stay at the hospital, 4 weeks post-op physiotherapy at the St. Louis hospital, and two months intensive physiotherapy after returning home from USA. Please have a look around the site, to find out further information about my condition and the operation, and the many ways you can help support my cause. Love, Cherie.
