Highlighting "superfoods," such as goji berries, as well as more familiar ingredients like ginger, garlic, and mint, Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen includes indispensible information:
• An overview of traditional Chinese medicine, herbs, and food therapy
• Details on 100 healthy Asian ingredients
• Healing recipes for common health concerns, including fatigue, menopause, high cholesterol, weight control, and diabetes
Paul W. Miller, M.D., adjunct professor, Exercise and Nutritional Science Department, San Diego State University
"We have a lot to learn from how other cultures approach health and medicine. Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen not only offers mouth-watering Asian recipes and lore about food, it also provides a new way to look at what makes up a healthy diet—a refreshing antidote to the way many of us in America eat today."
Guohui Liu, MS, MB/BS, LAc, faculty member at Oregon College of Oriental medicine and National College of Naturopathic Medicine, and author of Warm Diseases: A Clinical Guide and other works
"Part cookbook, part introduction to Chinese medicine, Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen introduces a holistic approach to food that is second nature in China and vital to medical practice there. I will be sharing this exceptional work with both my patients and colleagues."
Robert Alan Bonakdar, M.D., director of pain management at the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine and co-director of the symposium Natural Supplements: An Evidence-Based Update
"Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen provides a refreshing look at how to heal while you eat. If we believe the adage that food is medicine then this book, through sections such as 'Recipes for Common Health Concerns,' provides both recipes for delicious eating as well as prescriptions for optimal healing."
Library Journal, 3/15/10
"Recommended as an accessible introduction to integrating ideas of traditional Chinese medicine into cooking."
InfoDad.com, 3/25/10
"The recipes themselves would earn the book a high rating, but it is the context in which the authors place the food that really makes this book outstanding. Each recipe is followed by information on health issues that the recipe may be useful in addressing – according to the way Oriental medicine is practiced…All in all, Ancient Wisdom, Modern Kitchen is a feast for the mind as well as the palate; and perhaps some readers will find that it can represent a few steps on the path toward wellness, too."
Sacramento Book Review, 3/27/10
"Loaded with useful information to take care of your health."
UK's Health & Fitness magazine, May 2010
"Mixing the ancient tradition of traditional medicine and healing using herbs and food with western home remedies and recipes, this book offers a wealth of healing kitchen tips….An accessible way to cook health-giving Asian meals."
Supereco.com, 3/29/10
"In the face of increasing dissatisfaction with conventional medical care, the book is a powerful package offering a window into how other cultures stay healthy."
Healthy Soul website, 4/12/10
"The health-conscious cook could learn a lot and find a different approach to eating to supplement their wellbeing."
January magazine, 4/17/10
"A revelation…A deeply interesting book. One that, given the right set of circumstances and half a chance, could change your life."
Tucson Citizen, 4/17/10
"This is a wonderful collection that would be an asset in almost any kitchen. The recipes are fairly easy to prepare, many combining many flavors to present familiar foods in a refreshing new way."
Winner of the Cookbooks: International category and Finalist in the Health: Alternative Medicine category for the 2010 International Book Awards.
Curled Up With a Good Book, 5/16/10
"A pleasant informative book that will guide you through the secrets of ancient Chinese cooking using modern gadgets, whether you know black wood ear from astragalus root…This book could open the door to health as well as healing."
ForeWord, July/August 2010
"The book offers a brief overview of traditional medicine in China, compelling detail on life-giving Asian ingredients, and 150 recipes…[It] will cause many a Western-minded cook to think anew about food and cooking."
Yoga International, Fall 2010
"The authors…present 150 healing and approachable (but still delicious) recipes, including black sesame biscuits for menopause and eggplant soup for high cholesterol."
San Diego Magazine's "Local Bounty" blog, 8/24/10
"Altogether, this is a wonderfully useful book, well written, and with recipes that even a believer in conventional Western medicine would want to try."
Chefwife.com, 9/29/10
"The layout of the book makes it easy to learn the basics first; then apply what you learned in recipes."
San Diego Magazine, November 2010
"Chock full of educational tidbits about feel better food…Makes a great gift for anyone interested in Eastern traditions and cuisines."

I got this book the other day for my daughter, but I can't seemed to put it down to send it to her. I found the information very interesting. The recipes seem easy to follow. I have only tried the recipe for Soothing Ginger-Honey Drink and it was easy to follow. I plan to try several other of the recipes. There are several ingredients that I hope I don't have a difficult time purchasing, but the book gives you several options on where to purchase the less common ingredients. Overall I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in healthy eating alternatives.

It's a very informative book, except for some chinese characters not showing up and coming up in little rectangles in my nook, I would give it 5 stars.
The authors break down what each recipe is for. I am looking forward to trying them out in the near future.

It's appropriate to switch whenever the coach feels it is appropriate. Sorry, that's a bit glib I know, but there will be a time when it naturally feels correct. For example, a player I worked with up until very recently has always hit a two hander, but has always been bottom hand dominant and we had trouble helping him feel the release of his top hand (something Soderling had to spend a lot of time learning very recently funnily enough!) I always felt that he would be a single hander and had I continued to work with him I think we would have probably changed (we always did work on his left side hitting with dominant and non-dom hands to develop his 2 hander, so it wouldn't be a massive adjustment). He was just transitioning from green to yellow ball (over here u10s play green) and I think that's probably the wrong time to make the change as being 10 and having to play u12's can be a big physical difference. Had he played single through red, orange and green it would be different.
As it is, he is with his new coach and still doing very, very well with a 2 hander so it is a moot point really. But one I will probably always wonder about

I have got to be the worst painter on the planet...EVER. Trying to paint kitchen cabinets. Primed with Zinsser 1 2 3, paint with BM Satin Impervo. Doing the drawer fronts. Tried a brush, and they look terrible. Tried a high density foam roller, they look terrible. UGH..... :) feel better now. |

oil or waterborne? |
waterbourne |
I don't really "get" Impervo myself. Everyone here on GW likes to rave about it. I haven't painted much in like 10 years and really don't understand what happened to paint in that timeframe (voc rules). Recently I have undertaken a paint job. I've tried Impervo, Advance, Behr. Advance flows out pretty good and dries hard (after a long time) but concerned about yellowing. Behr is OK too. The Behr is still sticky after 4 days though. Haven't really got into Improve in depth. Just some quick test panels but it was like painting with pancake batter. Don't know if Floetrol would help much. Maybe at like 50/50 or something. I think what ever product you choose, you have to learn it. Figure out by trial and error what works best. Thin coats, thick coats, dilution, floetrol (don't use floetrol with Advance). Don't know if there's any useful info in there for you. Just some thoughts. |
- Posted by christophern (My Page) on Tue, Mar 18, 14 at 3:03
Maybe at like 50/50 or something. no way you should or need to cut it that much to the op, I don't know what to tell you except, do as posted above and experiment some |
I've not yet seen latex enamel that wasn't really hard to apply, didn't look like crap, and made a decent hard finish that actually withstood some abuse. The BM oil Impervo with a dose of Penetrol to improve brushability works quite nicely for me. |
Being that this thread is on Gardenweb, The OP is probably painting his old oak kitchen cabs white. I believe oil Impervo will yellow the color significantly. No?? |
If you are painting bright white any oil-based paint will yellow over time, the only time I ever notice the change is when I repaint (but I most definitely do not have an artistic color sensitivity). In pretty much any color I find the change to be imperceptible. "Significance" of the change will vary a lot from person to person. |
I'm not a guy and I don't have "oak" cabinets. I'm not sure what they are made of, some type of plywood. Like from the 1970's. The cabinet frames are already painted white and the doors are light blue, all painted badly by the previous owner. The door and drawer fronts are so bad, the paint peels right off. I am sanding them down to bare wood to start over and priming and painting. I am using Waterbourne, not Oil. And I'm painting them a cream because my boyfriend is convinced that I won't like the dark grey blue I originally picked out. I don't understand the snarkiness in these forums sometimes. I hardly post here and have done nothing to warrant it towards me. I am sorry if my paint choice or color aren't up to your standards. I'm going to sand the drawer front back to bare wood again and start over. Thankfully I'm not in any rush. Kathy |
FWIW, I seem to be having more trouble with the Zinsser than the paint. I may try a new can of primer. I have one that I bought a couple months ago. TBH, I have no idea when I opened the one I am using. Guess it's worth a shot. Kathy |
- Posted by christophern (My Page) on Tue, Mar 18, 14 at 17:46
123 should work fine( unless it is bad) give Fresh Start a try maybe? and as I said there should be no need to cut the paint with anything, especially impervo water borne, which btw makes a fine finish for cabenits |
The new can of 1 2 3 seems to be working much better. I put the first coat on last night, and just did the 2nd coat this morning. Seems to be leveling a lot better. Perhaps the other can was just too old. Will sand and put 1st topcoat on tonight when I get home from work. Feeling excited about my project again! :) Kathy |
Last time I used 123, it seemed not to be very sand-able. Maybe that was an old batch too. I love Bins as a primer. dries fast and sands real nice. If everything is flat like that drawer front, why not just foam roll and litely whisk with dryish brush? I wasn't being snarky.. :) |
it's funny that you mention it not being very sand-able. I had a heck of a time sanding it back down to bare wood again. I did not have any trouble lightly sanding between primer and topcoat though. I just painted my first topcoat. It went on pretty well. There are brushmarks, but they aren't too bad. I can live with it now, whereas before I could not. I also switched colors. Going to the paint store is now becoming like going to the garden store. (I'm not allowed to go to the garden store! LOL) I switched to white dove from floral white. The floral white was giving me too much of a yellow vibe. I'm making my white kitchen a white kitchen. Totally not my intent. I was going to try the roll on, brush out on the doors since they are bigger. I have problems with bigger surfaces. Kathy |

Casey - I am glad it is going better for you. You CAN DO this! I painted an oak vanity - it looked terrible with the primer, did not look great with the first coat of paint, looked awesome after the second coat. I used SW Pro-classic waterborne, but have heard that Impervo is about the same so you will be fine. Both of those paints seem to level out well. I brushed mine on because of arches, etc. Rolling and brushing out sounds like a good idea for your flat doors. Your cabinets are birch - pretty wood. Hope you come back and show us your finished product, because I too have flat birch plywood cabinets from the early 70's that I plan to paint next year (retirement job -yeah). Hang in there! You are going to do this right and are going to love your "new" cabinets. |
This is the cabinet I finished! I love the way it turned out!! I think it will look awesome with a new countertop! It isn't perfect but It's a start. I purchased a different brush today to see if maybe that is my problem. |
Casey, Give Bins a try. Point being that pretty much however you put it on (roller is best), It sands great. You sand everything flat and smooth. No brush or roller marks cause they're all sanded out. If you sand thru to wood, Just do another coat. I didn't have that experience with 123. With 123, you have brush and roller marks to deal with as well as the paint brush and roller marks. Looks good though. Glad your happy about it. |
White Dove. I didn't want to go white, but everything else I tried was too yellow. LOL But it is not bright white like it is right now. |
- Posted by tuesday_2008 (My Page) on Sat, Mar 22, 14 at 21:29
Wow! That cabinet looks great. White Dove is one of my favorite whites - that is what I used on a house full of doors and trim as well as my vanity. What do you have in mind for counters?? I'm nosey :). Tuesday |
Tuesday, a laminate like Winter Carnival I think. I am going to add trim to my cabinet doors, if I can ever find my brad nailer. LOL |

Cakeykees: I did the same thing three years ago.. on my own. What a royal pain! I recently bought a Critter sprayer and will be doing another coat on the doors. Just want to freshen them up, but have no desire to roll and use paint brush... ever again! |

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I have a need to scan bound materials for everyday usage so I can protect my precious originals. I have some rare and out of print shop manuals for motorcycles that I use nearly every day. Scanning those to pdf keeps them out of the grease and grime and prevents sticky fingers from walking off with them as well. I do this for personal usage only, unless the copyright is expired it would be illegal to scan whole books this way to share with others. It really helps to be able to keep an old laptop on the workbench instead of fifty bound shop manuals. A pdf file also lets you blow up that diagram if you scan in a high enough resolution.I have a regular flat bed scanner but the big difference between this and a flatbed is how close the scanning bar goes to the edge of the glass. A book scanner is designed so that you can lay the book or magazine etc. face down with the spine hanging off the front of the scanner. There are some fantastically expensive book scanners out there but for my budget $200.00 was about my limit. I looked at the 3600 model which is apparently discontinued to be replaced by this unit.What's in the box:A4/letter sized scannerpower supplyUSB cablesoftware dvdSoftware:scanner utility ocr packageWarranty:One year, RMA required, proof of purchase requiredSetup:Install software/driversUnlock the scan bar via switch on the bottomTurn on the scanner via switch on the side and windows should find it.I am using windows 7. For awhile there scanners that would work in 7 were a bit hard to find but not anymore. Apparently 8 is coming soon, I would hope that it will support this unit as well.Technology:First thing you'll notice when you turn it on and start up the utility is the "warming up" message. This unit uses the older "bulb" technology over the newer tech. Bulbs burn out eventually but they last a long time before they do. The unit will automatically sleep after a bit to save bulb life. Like most things these days this unit is mostly plastic. The lid is hinged to handle very thick books and will actually come off completely if it needs to (just lift up, metal hinges in the corner with a bar that slides into the scanner). There are three huge buttons on the right side that make it easy to hit them while holding your project. These work in the native software driver. This scanner supports two native resolutions, 300 and 600 dpi. The native utility defaults to 300, if there's an option to change that then I haven't found it yet...might be another win 7 quirk, don't know.Operation under windows 7:I don't know if it's because their drivers and software under 7 are still a bit immature or if all the functions don't work properly in other OS as well. I normally use Nuance Paperport 14 for my scanning utility but some of the options available in the native utility are not available or just don't work right under Paperport. Paperport has updateable scanner profiles but as of right now they either don't have any or their update portion of their software isn't working right. I stopped scanning under paperport in favor of the driver that comes with the scanner, more works properly but it still has functions that don't work, or don't work properly as well.When scanning, you may want to wear cotton gloves to avoid getting fingerprints all over the scanner glass as you scan your materials. Obviously when scanning a book one page will be properly oriented while the second page will be upside down, paperport's rotate doesn't work right with this scanner. The native scanning utility can be told to automatically rotate odd or even scans 180 degrees; this works great. The native scanner utility also allows rotate after the scan and generally as long as the size of the page doesn't change, you only have to crop once; if you put the book in the same spot every time you won't have to preview/crop each page before the scan. The only thing so far that paperport has over the native utility is auto deskew...that box is always grayed out in the native utility. I don't think I'm missing any settings anywhere I think it just doesn't work or just doesn't work under windows 7. For most books laying the book/spine completely flat gets your subject up to less than a quarter inch of the spine, but, if you need to you can push the spine up a bit..on most scanners that results in unreadable text on the edge but not here...even if you have to push it up a bit and get a slightly shaded line on the edge the text will still be clear enough to read. Scanning a lot of pages at once:The trick is of course getting the book consistently straight on the scanner, there is enough of a lip around the glass that you can generally feel if the bottom of the page is flush against it and straight. The "rotate on odd or even" option works great and you shouldn't have to software rotate anything. If the scan is a bad one you just delete it with the x in the upper right and try again (and it won't affect the "odd or even" setting either). There is an option in the native driver to continuously scan every (user settable) time period...so if you can quickly change pages it would in theory just keep scanning and you'd never have to touch the button...haven't tried this..don't know if it works. The great thing about those huge buttons on the right side is it's easy to hit them while holding your item in place so it doesn't shift. The hinged lid is great, however I've find that if your room is darkened you can pop the lid off and still get good scans unlike most other scanners I've used (a time saver).What I think of it:I wanted a book scanner but didn't have five thousand dollars for the cadillac version. For two hundred dollars this thing will do what I need it to, albeit it's going to be a bit more labor intensive than a very expensive unit. Because this is a bulb scanner you have to be a bit more conscious when you move it...always be sure to lock down the scanner bar to avoid damage. The first "warming up" session is a little annoying but that's generally only once unless you let the scanner sit for whatever reason while still turned on. The removable lid and hinge system that allows for fat objects is great and I've even found that as long as your room is a bit dark and you have cropped the scan, you can scan without the lid on it with results just as good as if the lid was down. The scanner can get pretty close to the bound edge, but if you have to push it up a bit and press flat that generally will pick up that pesky stuff on the edge and it will still be readable. At least in 300 dpi mode quality is quite acceptable and clear when zoomed upwards. For my books I found I had to use grayscale, text only wasn't picking up the text properly. DPI is another spot that doesn't seem to work right in the native utility, there doesn't seem to be a way to change it to 600 dpi. Scans in 300 dpi are quite fast, no complaints and it's not horribly noisey either.Overall, I think I got my money's worth but their software needs a LOT of repairs and fixes. When you get this scanner setup go to plustek's web page and grab the newest driver, it's a lot better than what comes on the DVD. I don't know if things just don't work right under win 7 yet or if their utility is really that much in need of work. You aren't going to find a book scanner for 200.00 anyplace else and if you need that function it's the cheapest way to get it that I've found. This scanner can of course scan other things besides books but the "up to the edge" scanning capability makes this unit desireable if you need to scan a lot of bound materials. I'd buy this again I just hope they fix the driver/utility issues. While I haven't had to contact Plustek myself yet, those on forums report they don't get replies to emails, really not all that unusual. I hope I don't have to find out what their warranty service is like.update 6-2012: I just finished scanning an old out of print 250 page tech manual for a motorcycle. Once you're used to it, you can scan twenty or thirty pages in under 20 minutes. I didn't have too much problem with skewed pages and it does an amazing job of picking up clearly readable text right up to the spine of the book. While I've had to scan a few pages over once you get it in just the right spot the scans are very good even with something like wiring diagrams or other graphics with a lot of detail. I have the full version of acrobat 8, nuance paperport 14, and the utility that came with the scanner, between the three products I can make a very acceptable PDF of a big book. I still haven't figured out how to get the deskew working in the scanner utility but Acrobat 8 has a function that will "optimize" the scanned document and it includes deskew, antispeckle, and a few other functions that apply more to photos and color scans. Acrobat does a really good job of fixing up that page you just can't get to scan absolutely straight, it also gets rid of extraneous information that make the files bigger and lets you crop the black edges or rotate any pages that need it. While paperport 14 has a pretty decent pdf manipulation utility it can't crop like acrobat 8 does. What I did was scan with the optibook utility, then open the scan with acrobat 8clean it up and then dump it into paperport to join the separate scans. Paperport also makes it easy to cut out a single page if you need to (acrobat 8 can do that too--even easier because it has a replace function) to replace it if you made a mistake. I read one review where the purchaser said he only got a few hundred scans out of his unit, I haven't had that experience yet. You seem to get more functionality out of the scanner utility using the buttons than if you preview and clik on the scan buttons on the utility, it will go straight to the final scan where you can rotate and even delete the last scan so you can try again and it keeps the scan perameters you set in the first preview for all subsequent pages. With a little fiddling I have figured out how to assign the paperport when scanning to jpg. The utility seems to use pdf output by default and can't seem to scan to an image file without help (I can't believe they put something this bad out, it's got to be win 7 issues but maybe not too). For a couple of hundred dollars this scanner does what I need even though it is stone knives and bearskins it's workable. My next project is a tech book that's about four times as large and it's in a lot worse shape too. The tough part becomes making those pages with the tattered edges lay flat, so far the lid can be used to keep it all flat...you get really good at doing things with one hand with this scanner fortunately the buttons are close enough I can usually reach out with the right pinky to hit the scan button.
Amount Paid (US$): 250.00

Former Jets' Punter Steve Weatherford Calls out ESPN Writer Rich Cimini
Posted by Erik Manassy on May 19, 2012 in Twitter Conversations | 3 comments
Former Jet, Steve Weatherford made news for his opinion on Mark Sanchez, and the headline for one particular story became a sore spot for the former Jets' Punter. Steve made some comments on the NFL.com podcast talking about how Mark Sanchez lacks the maturity despite being very talented.
The ESPN article used the word "RIP" in the headline and looking at Steve's tweet, he took offense to it, especially the writer of the story Rich Cimini. He called Rich out on twitter and the two had a brief conversation where Weatherford let it be known that his words were taken out of context and where he set the record straight in his own words.
Weatherford5 I think @mark_sanchez knows the truth. I would never "RIP" a former teammate.Marks a great competitor and close friend This is outta control 5/18/12 4:28 PM |
Weatherford5 I expected a little more out of @RichCimini but the article was totally one sided. I have alot of respect for Mark Sanchez 5/18/12 4:33 PM |
RichCimini @Weatherford5 Sorry you feel that way, Steve, but all I did basically was run the quotes. 5/18/12 4:55 PM |
Earlier in Steve's timeline, I guess he was addressing me, er uh, bloggers, so I'm included. He said that Sanchez will make people forget about Tebow:
Weatherford5 Dear bloggers, Mark Sanchez will make people forget about Tebow, but the competition will sharpen him. He has what is takes to be great. 5/18/12 2:14 PM |
If you read this blog, then you know I'm in Sanchez's corner and believe he IS the better QB for the Jets at this time.
Some Twitter Reaction
ToneMarku @RichCimini @weatherford5 @RealMichaelKay only so-called "analysts" are allowed to have opinions but they rip athletes for having them. 5/18/12 10:48 PM |
roverforty7 @Weatherford5 @mark_sanchez nice job… The media blows 5/18/12 10:34 PM |
JaneJem831 @Weatherford5 I can't see you having a mean bone in your body! I am pretty sure Mark Sanchez would agree…forget the haters! 5/18/12 8:31 PM |
MRjack182 @Weatherford5 @bcowan40 @espnnewyork sounded more like they lead you into those q's man. Classic @espn . Steve, just know we believe you 5/18/12 7:56 PM |
Channinho @Weatherford5 who cares about the stupid Jets or Sanchez. You are a great Punter and a World Champion NY Giant! Joke is on them my friend! 5/18/12 7:05 PM |
RickC519 @Weatherford5 @mark_sanchez You always were a douche Steve. Anyone stupid enough to tuck and run on 4th & 19 should always just STFU. 5/18/12 6:02 PM |
MyNJJETS @Weatherford5 In my best Iverson voice: "Punter? We're talking about a PUNTER?!?!?!" 5/18/12 5:28 PM |
k_walt12 @Weatherford5 Huge Jet fan and didn't really like what you said about Westhoff but what you said about Mark was far from "ripping" someone. 5/18/12 5:17 PM |
Steve_Ciccone Why are people saying that @Weatherford5 "ripped" Mark Sanchez? Listen to what he said, he didn't come close to ripping him. #Shutup 5/18/12 5:08 PM |
11michael11 @Weatherford5 you did rip @Mark_Sanchez you idiot 5/18/12 5:07 PM |
ConnieCarberg @Weatherford5 @richcimini Looks like Steve is getting carried away with himself- know he hates Jets but no reason to hurt Mark- 5/18/12 5:04 PM |
DangerosoNYC Seems @Weatherford5 was sitting on high horse from SB win still and @RichCimini just kindve put the story out there…SW is classy but cocky 5/18/12 5:00 PM |
thatkidjq @Weatherford5 i think you should worry more about punting and less about sanchez big guy. 5/18/12 4:55 PM |
Why would anyone expect better from Cimini?
The guy is an absolute hack.
Shocker! The media loves the giants / jets hatred , they're basically the ones that created it. Like who cares what a punter has to say about a former teammate. Like really? Where's the story here, classless.
This is why Twitter is great. You can get an unedited opinion straight from the source.

Inspired from all the comments she received from my interview with her on chronic illness, Dr. Elvira Aletta compiled some suggestions for finding a good-enough doctor.
In her previous Psych Central post called Tips to Find a Good-Enough Doctor, she throws out three basic qualities she looks for in a doctor:
- Expertise, knowledge, intellectual curiosity and all the right credentials.
- Warm, receptive, a good listener and communicator. The bedside manner thing.
- A well-run office, with smart, efficient support & medical staff.
Then she follows up with a few more points to keep in mind while shopping for a doctor…

Hi, Therese,
Thank you so much for the mention.
When this article first appeared there were several comments from people who objected to the idea that they could "shop around" for a good doctor as if they had a choice. People who live in small communities that are short of doctors and hospital beds do not have the luxury of firing one doctor and finding another. Still as consumers we can still provide feedback and hope that our doctor will listen and make changes if appropriate.
In addition, medical professionals called physician extenders, like nurse practitioners and physician assistants, can be good alternatives in many, but not all, situations.
I think it depends upon the type of doctor. I couldn't care less about the bedside manner of a surgeon, the priority would be that they're good at what they do. With a shrink, though, bedside manner would be critical.

If you'd like to get a mint julep at your favorite bar, you better cash in this week. This Southern staple can be hard to locate at any time other than that because a lot of bars don't normally stock mint. And without mint all you have is, well, bourbon and sugar.
Churchill Downs, liquor stores and bourbon distilleries want you to believe the premixed concoctions they're selling are just as good as the basic ingredients, but, let's be honest, nothing beats that simple blend of sugar, fresh mint, crushed ice and good bourbon.
Peggy Tschauner and Ellen Jacobs of Shelby County, two of the 139 cancer survivors who will be participating in the Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade May 3, are doubly excited about participating.
That's because the pair was chosen to walk in the parade last year, through an online selection process, the usual procedure, but a storm ruined the parade, so they were invited back again this year.
"We got a letter last year, the Monday after the Derby, they sent out a letter last year to all of us," Tschauner said.
A day full of sunshine and mild temperatures added an extra dash of enjoyment to what was already a day packed with fun and smiles for hundreds who turned out for Shelby County High School's Rocket Games.
Noelle Barnes, SCHS' complex needs counselor, the coordinator for the event, said she estimated that nearly 1,000 people were in attendance.
"Well, we have three hundred student volunteers, and we have sold over five hundred t-shirts, and we have so many vendors and people who have come out; it's just great," Barnes said.
Temperatures may have not been up to par, but the rest of Mother Nature's arsenal cooperated enough on Saturday to enable visitors to the Earth Day celebration at Red Orchard to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities.
Although there were very few children taking advantage of the spacious playground, because of muddy conditions, a crowd began collecting rapidly after the opening of the event at 10 a.m.
Put together a frosty Saturday morning, a placid lake with the sun glinting off the water, a dozen canoes and dozens of "morning people," and what do you have?
A crew of exuberant volunteers all set to clean up Lake Shelby by canoe, of course.
The volunteers, consisting of Collins Army ROTC members, Clear Creek Trailblazer volunteers, and some individuals, braved a chilly morning, rain gorged waterways and muddy creek banks to participate in the annual Clear Creek Cleanup, which also included a cleanup by Boy Scouts who policed along the banks.
A slipped disc is a painful condition involving one or more of the 23 discs that cushion the bones of the spine.
As with other causes of back pain, it is often incorrectly assumed that surgery is the only logical treatment. The truth is many of these injuries do not require surgery.
The heinous bombing at the Boston Marathon on Monday that killed three people and injured 183 others reverberated around the world and home to Shelby County.
There were a handful of persons who listed Shelby County addresses on the official marathon entry list, and some of the finished the event with an awed reaction for what happened shortly afterward.
Susanne Busey Osberg, a Shelby County native who has lived in Boston for 41 years, said the bombing brought back the horrible events of Sept. 11, 2001, to her in a very real way.
Rebecca Marrilla is 26 years old, an age during which most people don't stare death in the face.
But in September, two days after celebrating her first wedding anniversary, the harsh reality of cancer shattered her world, when she learned she had Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer.
"When I went in [to the doctor's office] that today, I was not prepared to hear that," she said. "I don't think you can ever be prepared to hear that."
Shelby Countians must be doing something right, judging by the county's steadily rise as one of the healthiest counties in the state.
Shelby County is up to third this year, according to the 2013 County Health Rankings of all states, complied annually by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute in collaboration with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
At Christmas, Gary Walls was surprised with a trip to Italy to see the Pope deliver the Easter Vigil at the Vatican.
What he didn't know then was that a new Pope would have been named – one who would resonate with Walls even more than his Catholic roots would have predicted.
Pope Francis has become known for his commitment to service, to helping those in need.
Each day – every day for nearly 16 years – Tania Williams awoke in the orphanage in Ukraine. Sixteen – the dreaded age that orphans in this Eastern European country "age out" to the streets, often thrown into a life of prostitution, drugs and crime. For Tania, it was a time of fear and anxiety, faced with no family and no physical or emotional support.
Sometimes downsizing is the best way to grow, and that's exactly what's going on with The Luci Center in Shelby County.
Luci Center, a hippotherapy therapeutic riding center for children and adults with disabilities, has sold its property on Hebron Road and was planning to close Tuesday on a new location across the street.
This 15-acre site will be built to suit the center's unique needs.
In my 30 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, from 1937-1967, when I was promoted from second lieutenant up the ranks to brigadier general, I encountered a lot of interesting characters who had a lot of interesting things to say, some of them amusing and others career-changing. These appear in chronological order:
"The Marine sentry did not salute me when I came across the gangway. I consider this a reflection on the captain of Marines."
How can you put a price tag on being able to help keep kids off drugs and make the community a safer place to raise a healthy, happy family?
That price tag is $100,000, said Elizabeth Pulliam, director of Shelby Prevention, a non-profit organization that works to provide programs, activities and community projects in order to build a drug-free community.
That is the organization's yearly budget that she is trying to generate by September.
John David and Mary Helen Myles have a 174-year-old baby.
They have restored their 2-story brick Federal-style home they bought in 2002 with such loving care that the structure, known as the Dale Place, received the Ida Lee Willis Memorial Foundation Preservation Project Award in 2006.
Myles, a Shelby County Family Court judge, is widely known throughout Shelby County for his love of history, and he went to great lengths to ensure that the house, when restored, should be as much as like the original as possible.
If you'd like to settle down with a good book, chock full of colorful characters, such as moonshiners, long-haired, pot-growing Vietnam veterans, and even a man so scary everybody started locking their doors at night after he moved to town, you might want to check out The Cornbread Mafia, which was published last year.
I have listed below a few remarks that stand out in my memory of service in the regular U.S. Marine Corps from 1937 to 1967, in the ranks of second lieutenant through brigadier general. They appear in chronological order:
"Give it to 'em boys; give 'em what General Cheatham says!"
– Bishop-General Leonidas Polk at the Battle of Perryville (1862), conscious of his role as an Episcopal bishop, after Maj. Gen. Cheatham had shouted to his troops, "Give 'em hell, boys."
A man deeply experienced in managing parks at the state level has been chosen by the Shelby County Parks Board to lead the county's facilities.
After a 2-month search among 17 candidates, parks board chair Hubie Pollett on Tuesday night introduced Shawn Pickens, 33, a regional parks director for the Kentucky Department of Parks in Frankfort, as the county's new parks chief, replacing Clay Cottongim, who retired in December after 38 years.
All over Shelbyville on Wednesday, people were texting each other, calling, and rejoicing when the news broke around 3 p.m. that a new pope finally had been selected.
When newly elected Pope Francis appeared on television before a huge crowd in St. Peter's Square in Rome and asked for his congregation's prayers, a Shelby County priest said he was overcome with emotion.
Clustered around Allen Purnell, a group of employees all answered at once when asked what they thought of their boss.
"He's gooo-od!" they chorused in unison as Purnell grinned the same easy-going grin he has made famous in his popular television commercials.
The group gaffawed when asked if they liked sausage.
"Sure do," said Robert Purnell, the youngest of the Purnell men who work at F.B. Purnell Sausage in Simpsonville.
"Well, he better," someone else said, amid more laughter.

Being a sex worker isn't something to write home about for most women (and men) in the $12 billion-a-year sex industry.
Prostitutes, strippers, and adult film stars put themselves, and what they do for a living, out on the street, stage, and TV screen every day, but they often keep their working lives hidden from friends, family, and other employers. They do this because sex work is widely considered illegal, unhealthy, and immoral.

In the last few weeks this weed has spread all over by tiny backyard. I have river pebble/rocks and no grass and 3 months ago I sprayed for weeds using the high power stuff (Ortho Ground Clear)... which do every fews months since I have nothing but pebbles/rocks. Then we had a really, really wet summer in Charlotte NC and these plant/weeds have grown everywhere in my backyard. I tried pulling them today and some were so rooted that I couldn't pull them. |

Looks like mimosa tree. |
I'd say more like an acacia. hortster |
@hortster- yep that's it. Is that a weed??? Is it normal to have these growing in a backyard (no vegetation, just river rock)? |
Acacia, a member of the Mimosa family, is often planted where it can help control erosion since it can be a fast growing tree. Some consider it a "weed" while others look for it to put In the landscape. A "weed" is a plant you do not want growing where you do not want it growing, so this could be a "weed" where it is but a desirable plant in another location in your landscape. |
Both are weeds to me. Personally, I have no erosion. My neighbor's mimosa is not a desirable plant because of its seed production which causes it to be a plant that I do not want growing where I do not want it growing, ergo, a plant that produces weeds in my landscape beds. I constantly use glyphosate to eradicate the numerous seedlings. I wouldn't have to use that product nearly as much if it wasn't for the mimosa seedlings. Hand pulling them leaves roots which seem to always return. hortster |

I have no idea what all that is inside your  area. It sorta looks like something similar to ASP or something... I can't guess. So I'm gonna assume it's just a String literal.
If it is a String literal and you want to change values of "something" to one thing and "something1" to another thing, and so on, then all you need is regular expressions and the String's replace() method.
int x = 0;

Have A Nice Life; With Your Cat!
* Height requirement. Women everywhere tell me that they need a tall man because, "I like to wear heels." The average American male is 5'9'. It is estimated that only about 14% of men are 6'0' and taller. So if you are stuck on having a tall man, you are cutting out over 80% of the population.There are many amazing, high quality, commitment minded men that are 5'9' and under. Get over your obession with height and you will open yourself up to finding the love of your life.
* Eye color. Some women dream of gazing into the windows of a man's soul through his baby blues. Only about 19% of the world population has blue eyes. If you are stuck on eye color, again, you are limiting yourself. You can always get a siamese cat, they have the most beeeeutiful blue eyes!
* Income. I meet many women that will not date a man if he doesn't make a certain annual income. Sure money can buy things like security and amazing vacations, but it cannot buy you love, and that rich man that you hope to land, may very well have control issues, be a workaholic, have women chasing him everywhere he goes, or be a commitment phobe. Look for character, values and stability instead of a specific income.
* Location. That fabulous guy might live in an apartment on "the wrong side of the tracks" right now, but that doesn't mean he has to stay there. The fun of being married is working towards something. Eventually you can move, or buy your dream home in another neighborhood.
* Looks. "I only date extremely good looking men." Interestingly enough, I usually hear this comment from average looking women. Of course you want to feel a physical attraction to the guy, but consider finding something sexy in his quirkiness. A crooked smile, a big nose, or a stocky build. The truth is, looks fade, and the most important qualities cannot be seen with the naked eye. Keep in mind that the hot hot guys are often what we would catagorize as "bad boys." They have women throwing themselves at them and ample opportunity to cheat. They are often heart breakers!
You don't have to kick your cat to the curb, but you don't want the title, "crazy cat lady" either, so get busy and revise your "list."

5 Big Trades to Take for a Fed Taper
Berkshire Hathaway
Despite all of the attention on Berkshire Hathaway's ( BRK.B) portfolio this week, the stock itself is showing some cracks. That's because Berkshire is forming the exact opposite trading pattern from the one in Polaris right now. Here's why buyers should beware.
>>5 Rocket Stocks for Another Week of New Highs
Berkshire is currently forming a descending triangle pattern, the bearish opposite of the ascending triangle in PII. The descending triangle is formed by downtrending resistance pushing down from above shares and horizontal support to the downside, in this case at $111. A breakdown through $111 is Berkshire's sell signal.
A parabolic drop in relative strength since June indicates that Berkshire has been woefully underperforming the S&P 500 in recent months -- you can see it from the stock's inability to make new highs in November. Buyers look anemic here, but failure to catch a bid at $111 is the start of something bigger.

My husband and I are in the planning stage of building a new home. I want a farmhouse style sink. My sister has had a composite granite undermount sink for 7 years and it looks like new. I've looked for a composite stone farmhouse sink, but have had no luck. I have found solid granite farmhouse sinks, but the cost is prohibitive. Does anyone know of a company that is offering a composite one? Thanks so much. |

I'll provide a few links for you. Mitrani makes a quartz farmhouse sink mentioned in one of the linked threads, but I wonder whether it might look a bit utility-laundry-room-ish. Hard to tell without seeing it IRL. Quartz is not as good as a granite composite material with a high proportion of granite like Silgranit, IMHO. Thread about Blanco not making Silgranit farmhouse sinks |

What's on the grid at Monaco Grand Prix
PUBLISHED: 23 May 2014 04:36:35 | UPDATED: 23 May 2014 05:02:04PUBLISHED: 23 May 2014 PRINT EDITION: 23 May 2014Jason Clout
Young Australian F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo's rise to prominence faces its next stern test at the most famous Grand Prix of them all, Monaco. The West Australian put aside the disappointment of losing his second place in the Australian Grand Prix in March, to register a third in the Spanish F1. A fuel flow issue caused his disqualification in Melbourne but there were no such problems in Barcelona.
In the process he finished in front of his Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel, the German who has won the past four World Championships.
Last year, former Australian F1 driver Mark Webber finished third, with Vettel second. Monaco has been a happy venue for Webber over the past few years. Webber's podium place last year followed his victories in 2010 and 2012, and a number of other top-five finishes in the Principality.
While Webber has left F1 and moved to endurance racing in Europe, this year is the chance for Ricciardo to flourish in Monaco. He sits in fifth spot after five races on 39 championship points, six behind Vettel.
But to make a real charge at the title Ricciardo and the rest of the F1 drivers will need to find a way past the rampaging Mercedes team.
The Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have been unstoppable this season. The German Rosberg triumphed in Australia, before England's Hamilton went on to claim the next four races in succession
Such has been the dominance of the two drivers this year that Ferrari's Fernando Alonso is third, but is only about half Rosberg's championship points tally.
Rosberg has chased Hamilton home in all his wins, such as the one in Spain where he whittled down the lead until he was on Hamilton's tail.
But Hamilton, who won the world championship in 2008, steadied to win and jumped to 100 points on the points ladder, three points clear of Rosberg.
Despite Hamilton's edge over his Mercedes team mate, Rosberg may fancy his chances in Monaco. He won the 2013 race, grabbing the lead at the start and holding onto it for the 78 laps of the 3.34-kilometre circuit.
The win was a historic moment for Rosberg, whose father Keke won in 1983. It was the first time a father and son had won the Monaco Grand Prix. The 2013 race was not without incident. A crash on the 45th lap between Max Chilton and Pastor Maldonado led to the latter's Williams car briefly leaving the ground before hitting a protective wall.
Thankfully, neither driver was injured, but it was a reminder of the difficulties of negotiating the tight, winding track, which runs along the world-famous Monaco waterfront.
That area is one of the prime spots to watch the big race, which has attracted the world's elite from its inception.
Many of the luxurious yachts moored in Monaco host parties around the event, such as the ones where Mark Webber has been the guest of honour.
Monte Carlo's love affair with cars is not confined to the Monaco Grand Prix. In April, the principality staged its annual car show. One of the most prestigious on the calendar, the Top Marques Monaco 2014 attracted more than 36,000 visitors over the four days of the Easter period, according to organisers. Test drives at the show are held on part of a privatised part of the F1 circuit.
Among the supercars on offer this year was the Lamborghini Aventador Hamann and a Ferrari 458 Italia, as well as the world's first electric bike, the folding Mando Footloose.
