©2008-2013 The Seductive Woman™
Good afternoon, lovely! REFINED, sophisticated manners are what separates a well-bred lady from the majority. When it comes to a woman's class or social status, it's not just what she does, but how she acts and reacts that separates her from other women.
The manners of the middle-upper and upper classes are much more formal, reserved, elaborate, elegant, refined, sophisticated and more cultured than the lower classes. *Smile*
This by no means implies that upper class people are better or nicer people, dove. The term "better manners" refers only to their form, not to their content.
That being said, in the upper classes and high society, there's a certain tendency to consider the manners of the lower classes as less desirable.
This indicates that the manners of the upper classes are used as an absolute standard in the high society, and deviations are judged to be bad. It's also true that good manners, including good table manners, are perhaps the most characteristic 'high class' or 'classy' traits.
In today's free finishing school lesson/etiquette class, we are going to learn how to eat certain foods like an upper class lady, or how a proper lady in high society does.
Let's begin our lesson...
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Avocado
When half an avocado, stone removed, is served for salad, and with just a dressing, the flesh should be eaten with a spoon like a melon.
When an avocado is stuffed/cut up, it should first be pared, and then eaten with a fork (like you do with any other salad.)
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Apples
Upper-class ladies will first cut an apple into quarters or eighths with fruit knife, then remove the core, pare, and eat with their fingers.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Artichokes
The thick, fleshy leaves of artichokes should be broken off, one at a time, with the finger and thumb.
The base of each artichoke should be dipped into the accompanying sauce, and the little succulent bit where the leaf joins the stem should be nibbled off with the front teeth.
The rest of the artichoke leaf should be rejected and laid on the plate.
After the artichoke leaves have been thus dealt with, the fuzzy choke (which has already been cut free from the bottom, and put back only to help hold the leaves in place,) should be lifted out with the fork.
The artichoke 'bottom' should be eaten by dividing with the fork, and dipping each piece into the sauce.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Asparagus
At the family table, short, firm stalks of asparagus may be eaten with the fingers. In formal/company meals, a fork should be used.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Bananas
An upper class lady doesn't bite a banana. She'll pull off the skin, place the fruit on a fruit plate, and eat it with a fork.
An alternative, classy way of eating a banana is to partly pull off the skin, cut across in half-inch slices, and eat each slice after cutting, while holding in the left hand.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Bacon (Breakfast)
Upper-class ladies know that semi-soft/semi-hard bacon should be eaten with a fork.
Advanced reformers of etiquette say that when the bacon is very crisp, brittle and dry, the strips can be eaten with the fingers. Otherwise, they would fly to pieces when being touched with the fork.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Berries
In the upper-classes, small berries and hulled strawberries are eaten with a teaspoon.
Strawberries with the hulls still on should be picked up by their short stems, dipped into powdered sugar, one at a time (if desired,) and eaten with the fingers.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady- Bones (of birds)
A drumstick bone (which has a sufficiently large portion of it free from flesh,) may be taken daintily between finger and thumb, or the thumb and first two fingers, and the meat eaten from it.
A bird bone should never be put directly into the mouth.
Although this method of eaten poultry is practiced in liberal circles, the use of the knife and fork is generally preferred by ladies in high society.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Bonbons
When bonbons are in paper cases, the bonbon and case should be lifted together from the container. Then, the bonbon should be picked out with the fingers and eaten.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Bouchees
These yummy wee cakes and pastries are considered to be finger foods. When bouchees are in paper cases, treat them like you do with bonbons.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Bread
Dry slices of bread should be broken, a bit at a time, into pieces suitable for eating.
Each bit of bread should be buttered while held in the fingers, then eaten.
Hot breads, rolls and muffins are sometimes split open and buttered before serving, especially at a luncheon. Otherwise, they're eaten in the same manner as bread.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Canapes
The quite crisp, dry kind of canapes that are served with/without cocktails, and often before the guests go to the dining room, should be eaten from the fingers.
When canapes are served at the table, as an entree or hors d'oeuvre, they're often softer, and should be eaten with a fork.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Candied Peel
Eat with the fingers.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Candy
(See Bonbons.)
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Cakes
Little cakes such as cookies or macaroons should be eaten with the fingers.
Slices of plain cake, rather dry, may also be classed with finger foods.
Rich, soft cakes, and cakes with fillings and frosting should be eaten with a fork.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Cantaloupe
When quartered or halved, cantaloupes should be eaten with a teaspoon.
Ladies in high society know that salt, rather than sugar, is the proper condiment for cantaloupe.
The highly sophisticated lady will add a dash of black pepper.
(See Melon Balls for cantaloupe cut into ball shapes.)
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Celery
Eat celery stalks from the fingers, dipping the ends into salt if you wish.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Cereal
A dessert spoon is properly used by an upper-class lady to eat breakfast cereal or porridge. It marks social un-sophistication to eat cereal with a teaspoon.
The cereal should be served in shallow bowls, or in the deep, saucer-like dishes that are often used instead of bowls.
It isn't proper to serve or eat cereal in breakfast saucers.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Cheese
Soft cheese should be spread on its accompanying crackers or toast with a small knife.
Hard cheese may be eaten with a fork or fingers.
It used to be permitted in many of European countries to eat hard cheese from the point of a small knife.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Cherries
Each cherry should be taken whole into the mouth, where the stone should be separated, and then removed by the thumb and forefinger, from the lips to the fruit plate.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Chops
Under certain circumstances, upper-class ladies may eat a chop with their fingers.
Chops should be cut from the ribs farthest from the shoulder. They should be 'Frenched' to the extreme baring, and have the bone scraped free from meat or fat.
Only the little 'eye' or noisette of choice meat should be left. The outside fat and skin should be removed.
The chop should be fried/broiled, and before serving, a dainty paper frill may be put around the end of the bone.
Hold the chop bone between the thumb and first two fingers of the hand. Then, eat the little 'eye' of meat from it.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Clams
When served raw, on the half-shell, or steamed in their shells, clams should be eaten with the oyster fork or any small fork.
If a sauce accompanies the clams, each clam should be dipped into the sauce.
If grated horseradish is the accompaniment, a little should be placed on each with the fork before lifting it from its shell.
Lemon (cut in quarters or eighths, lengthwise, ) may be squeezed from the ends over the whole clam.
When steamed, clams should (like oysters,) be 'bearded.' That basically means that the hard muscle is removed, but this isn't done frequently in America.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Corn On The Cob
Upper-class ladies know that at the home table, corn on the cob may be eaten from the fingers.
The cobs (cut in short lengths,) should have a little butter applied to two rows at a time. These should then be nibbled off, while the corn is held in one hand.
The cob may be held in the left hand, its end against the plate.
The kernels may be cut off by downward strokes of the knife, and then eaten with a fork.
**In high society corn on the cob is never served at a formal company dinner.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Croutons
If croutons are offered with a cream soup, or grated cheese with a clear one, these should be put right into the soup by the guest.
**This isn't permitted with any other form of accompaniment.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Eggs
The English fashion of eating the soft-cooked egg at breakfast, and from its little egg-cup, is to chip off a small 'cap' from the top, remove it, and then mix white and yolk with the egg spoon.
The next step is to add salt, and eat the mixture from the shell with the egg-spoon.
In the English upper-classes, a child is brought up from babyhood to do this without permitting the egg to flow over the shell or the egg-cup.
**People who don't trust themselves to perform this act deftly, break their eggs into a larger cup/container, mix and season them, and then eat them from that.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - French Pastries
Ladies of the upper-classes eat French pastries with a dessert fork, or with a fork of small size.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Gherkins
Very small cucumber pickles or gherkins should be picked up by the fingers and eaten like olives.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Grapes
Grapes, like cherries, should be picked up singly. Their seeds (and sometimes the skin,) should be separated while in the mouth, and removed from the lips, the same as cherry pits.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Grapefruit
In the upper-classes/high society, grapefruit is usually served cut in halves, with its juicy chunks carefully separated from the membranes and skin, with a small sharp knife. It is then ready to be scooped out with a pointed-tipped spoon and eaten.
The separation of the pulp is generally so imperfectly done as to leave much of it adhering to the skin, or with both the skin and membrane adhering to it.
The pulp has to be swallowed, or separated in the mouth, and removed from the lips like cherry stones.
Sometimes the juicy sections are served in glasses alone, and eaten with teaspoons.
The empty shell of both grapefruit and oranges - always so unpleasing to look at - should be turned upside down on the plate, after the contents are eaten.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Ice Creams
Ladies eat ice cream with a teaspoon/ice cream spoon/ice cream fork.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Ices
The dinner ice, accompanying or following the meat course, may be eaten with the ice cream fork (if firm,) or with a spoon if 'squishy.'
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Lettuce
Lettuce should be divided with a fork held side-wise, and eaten with a fork.
If the lettuce is difficult to divide with fork tines, use a salad knife.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Lobster
In the upper-classes/high society, lobster is served with the shells cracked.
Hold the claws in your left hand, and extract the meat with small fork or silver 'picks.'
An alternative way is to use special lobster fork. Even the slender little claws, full of delicious juice, may not be sucked in company.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Melons
Large melons, such as watermelon or honeydew, should be cut into sections.
Eat the sections with fork.
Eat the scooped-out halves of small melons with a spoon, a dash of salt, and perhaps a dash of black pepper. (See Cantaloupe.)
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Melons
Melons cut into balls should be eaten with either a spoon or a fork.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Muffins
(See Breads.)
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Nuts
Nuts can be eaten with the fingers (if salted,) or shelled.
If the nut's in a shell, crack it first with a nut-cracker, extract the meat with a nut pick, dip it in salt (if you'd like,) and eat it with the fingers.
How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Olives
Ladies eat olives like cherries, or they simply nibble the flesh from the stone.
Anyhow, dove, I do hope you enjoyed my article; 'How to Eat Food Like A Lady - Part One!'
Much love,

Turning Point for Holocaust Memory
How do we ensure that Holocaust memory remains a relevant, transformative force in the 21st century? It is no coincidence that assaults on truth are rising just as we are facing the loss of the survivors—our best teachers. The world has changed dramatically in the 20 years since the Museum opened and our complex, changing world requires a bolder global response. Honorary campaign chair Elie Wiesel, United States Holocaust Memorial Council Chairman Tom Bernstein, and Museum Director Sara Bloomfield talk about the challenges—and the opportunities we must seize—at this critical turning point.

Ultra Music Festival 2013: Two Dozen People Hospitalized
Ever wonder how much of it is true? We did, so we decided to find out. After three weeks of repeatedly requesting public records, here's what we discovered.
See also:
- Ultra Music Festival: Police Say Anthony Cassano, 20, Likely Died of Drug Overdose
After breaking the news that 20-year-old Anthony Cassano likely died of a drug overdose at Ultra, we wondered how many more had gotten sick or injured at the festival.
We contacted the City of Miami's Department of Fire Rescue at the end of March to request reports on everyone attended to by paramedics at Ultra.
Instead, nearly two weeks later, all we got was this:
- Over the course of Ultra's two weekends, City of Miami paramedics responded to 44 calls at Bayfront Park
- In 24 of those cases, someone was taken to the hospital.
No word on whether this guy was hospitalized or not. |
An Ultra spokesman did not respond to our request for comment for this article.
Police arrested 167 people at Ultra this year, primarily for narcotics and gatecrashing. (Last year, there were 78 arrests during the three-day event, 45 of them for narcotics. More than 60 people were injured last year, many from suspected drug overdoses, but no one died.)
City Commissioner Marc Sarnoff has criticized the festival for the prevalence of narcotics, even calling for Ultra to drop its second weekend.
A 2012 University of Miami study, meanwhile, found that three previously healthy men in their 20s suffered brain hemorrhages from taking MDMA, or "Molly," last year.
The debate over drug abuse at Ultra isn't going to be settled any time soon. But more public records sure would help.

Safe Home
It is often a very traumatic experience for a family to come to a safe home for the first time. In addition to fleeing an abusive relationship, the family is faced with living in an unknown environment. We recognize the difficult steps a family had to make prior to coming to our agency and we attempt to provide a homelike setting in a sensitive and caring environment.
While residing in the safe home, guests are provided with basic needs such as: food, clothing, linens, personal items, furniture and household items. Additionally, extensive case management services are provided for all family members through our Residential Team. A clinical counselor is available to families to help deal with their emotional stress and trauma.
Families learn to live without fear and abuse, and work to create a life of peace.
Transitional Housing Program
Our Transitional Housing Program offers intensive case management and services around client identified issues. The families who reside within in the program are single female head of households who are survivors of domestic violence. It is a supervised living situation in a safe environment. It is designed to provide intensive services for a period of two years. The program assists families with individual case management that includes identifying immediate needs, reviewing options that are available and assist in long-term goals. It further assists families in their work towards personal, family and economic stability.
The SFC Project is a partnership between the RI Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF), Blackstone Valley Advocacy Center and the Family Care Community Partnerships (FCCP). Together, we are working together to help families and children touched by domestic violence. The purpose of the program is to keep all members of the family safe by providing crisis intervention, support and referrals to appropriate services.
If DCYF is investigating my family because I am a victim of domestic violence, will my children be taken from me?
From the very beginning of the investigative process, DCYF seeks to keep families together through its collaboration with the community resources and extended family. However, in those circumstances where the imminent danger to children cannot be controlled, it may be necessary to seek alternative placement for those children who remain at risk.
How will the program help me?
The SFC Project is a valuable program that is designed to help families obtain resources and support in the community. DCYF and domestic violence advocates are working together to help you and your children live free from violence.
How do I get involved?
You can call the Blackstone Valley Advocacy Center to speak with a domestic violence advocate at (401) 723-3057 or call DCYF Intake Unit for information or voluntary requests for services or referrals at (401) 528-3502.
Can I get involved if I live outside the Blackstone Valley area?
The program is available statewide.

Turkey Earthquake Rescue
Photograph by Abdurrahman Antakyali, Aatolia/AP
People search through collapsed buildings in the village of Tabanli, near the city of Van, hoping to rescue those trapped under debris—victims of the magnitude 7.2 earthquake that struck Turkey yesterday afternoon.
The Turkey earthquake, one of the most severe in the country since 1999, was centered just outside of the provincial capital of Van (map), near Turkey's border with Iran. The quake was followed by multiple aftershocks, including one that registered as a magnitude 6.0, according to CNN.
The disaster has so far seen a death toll of almost 300 people, and the number continues to climb. Tens of thousands of people are also homeless due to the quake, and rescue workers are setting up tents and providing supplies such as blankets and heaters to help people survive outside in the mountainous region's near freezing temperatures. (See aerial pictures of the aftermath of last year's Haiti earthquake.)
"It is a very urgent situation," Hakki Erskoy, a disaster manager for the Turkish Red Crescent, told the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper. "Right now, we are facing a race against time to provide shelter for people."

Waiting for Rescue

After yesterday's Turkey earthquake, a young boy named Yunus waits to be rescued from under a collapsed building in the city of Ercis—on the north shore of Lake Van—early Monday. The hand of another, unseen victim rests on his shoulder.
Following the initial earthquake on Sunday, rescue teams began using heavy equipment such as diggers and cranes to remove big pieces of debris before going through the wreckage with picks, shovels, and even bare hands, the Guardian reported.
Rescuers worked through the night to find survivors. In many cases, workers found trapped people when the victims used their cell phones to call emergency lines, according to the Turkish Anatolia news agency.

Collapsed Homes

Workers head toward a collapsed building in Ercis on Monday in continued efforts to save people trapped in debris following the magnitude 7.2 earthquake in Turkey.
About 970 buildings in the region were demolished by the quake, according to CNN, including about 55 structures in Ercis.
The earthquake struck in eastern Turkey, reportedly one of the country's poorest areas. The death toll due to collapsed buildings is being blamed partly on the prevalence of mud-brick construction in the surrounding villages, Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during a press conference in Van, according to the Guardian.

Turkey earthquake survivors stand in front of a collapsed building in Ercis on Sunday night.
In addition to those who lost their homes, many people in the affected region are reluctant to return to the buildings that are still standing, and relief groups are now working to accommodate thousands of people in tent cities and other makeshift shelters.
A spokesperson with the Turkish Red Crescent said that up to 13,000 tents—each big enough to hold four people—have been sent to the quake zone, and the aid agency is preparing to temporarily house as many as 40,000 survivors, Reuters reported.

Turkey earthquake survivors watch as a crane digs through rubble in Van on Monday.
In addition to delivering tents and supplies, the Turkish Red Crescent is reportedly providing emotional support for people who've lost loved ones or who are waiting to hear about the missing.
"This is very difficult work," the Red Crescent's Erskoy told the Guardian. "We're working with psychologists to provide the best support that we can."

Wrapped in blankets against the cold, survivors of the Turkey earthquake sit on the street in Ercis on Monday.
Many survivors opted to sleep on rooftops or in the streets after the quake, either because their homes were uninhabitable or out of fear of the multiple aftershocks, CNN reported.
Some people even collected wood from collapsed buildings to burn for warmth, according to CNN reporter Nevsin Mengu.

Emergency workers lift a boy rescued from the debris in Ercis on Monday, the day after the Turkey earthquake.
Offers of aid are coming in from around the world, but a spokesperson from the Turkish Foreign Ministry told CNN that, while its people are grateful, Turkey is prepared to handle the disaster on its own.
The country is "no stranger to having these seismic events," according to CNN meteorologist Reynolds Wolf. In 1999, for instance, a magnitude 7.6 temblor in Izmit claimed more than 17,000 lives, and a magnitude 5.9 temblor hit Elazig Province in March 2010 (pictures), leaving many villages in shambles.

Since 2011, lenders relying on a consumer's credit report to make a lending decision and to determine the credit terms must provide one of two types of disclosure notices to comply with new federal regulations – either a Risk-Based Pricing (RBP) notice or a Credit Score Disclosure (CSD) notice.
The RBP notice informs consumers that they may have received less favorable credit terms than others with better credit histories. This notice will be sent only to approved applicants or customers who likely did not receive the lender's most favorable terms. The RBP notice may be mailed separately from the credit approval letter. A separate law requires that a lender who sends an RBP notice and uses a credit score in making its decision to grant credit must include the credit score along with additional related information in the RBP disclosure. Specifically, this notice includes information about how to obtain your free credit report as well as a disclosure of your credit score, the score range, and the reasons why the score was not better. The credit score content in this notice can be found in Figure 2. If the lender uses a credit report but not a credit score in deciding to grant credit, the lender may send an RBP notice that only includes information related to the credit report as depicted in Figure 2.
Risk-based pricing reflects the common practice used by lenders to set credit terms, such as interest rate or credit limit, according to a consumer's credit risk. Lenders that employ risk-based pricing generally offer more favorable terms to consumers with credit histories that reflect lower risk and less favorable terms to those whose credit histories reflect higher risk.
In addition to further empowering consumers with information about their own credit history, the Risk-Based Pricing regulation through its disclosure notices is intended to broaden the understanding of credit reports and credit scores, as well as to improve the accuracy of your credit report. Not only do the notices inform you that your credit history is being used to set the credit terms offered, it also provides information to help you obtain, review and check the accuracy of your credit report.
Figure 1: Sample Risk-Based Pricing notice effective January 1, 2011. Actual notice may vary in format.
The credit score (your score) used in making the lending decision. Also shown are the date of the score and the name of the credit reporting agency whose report was the basis for generating the score. It's important to remember that your score may differ depending on the credit reporting agency and may also change over time due to changes in your credit history.
The range of credit scores associated with the model used to generate your score. Higher credit scores represent lower risk.
The actual reasons stated for your credit score will vary, based on what is in your credit report. For an explanation of the meaning of some of the most common reasons, visit our FICO® Score Factors Guide.
Figure 2: Credit score disclosure section included in the Risk-Based Pricing notice after July 21, 2011. Actual notice may vary in format.
The Risk-Based Pricing notice focuses on information about your credit report. In most cases, a credit score will be used – in addition to the credit report – by the lender in making its decision to grant credit. As a result, lenders opting to use the RBP notice will provide a disclosure notice that includes the information found in both Figure 1 and Figure 2. Key aspects of the RBP notice are:
If you received a Risk-Based Pricing notice, you will want to make sure you request the no-charge copy of your credit report from the listed credit reporting agency within 60 days. Upon receiving the credit report, you should confirm its accuracy and request corrections that may be necessary.

Heads Onthe Ground, winner of the cross-country chase at the Cheltenham Festival in 2007, has died at the age of 16.
The JP McManus-owned gelding spent his last days at Enda Bolger's stables in County Limerick where he spent his racing career.
His finest hour came at Cheltenham where he defeated Silver Birch, who went on to lift the Grand National a month later.
Heads Onthe Ground raced on until last April, with his final appearance coming in The Irish Field Chase at Punchestown.
"He got a touch of colic just before Christmas," said Frank Berry, racing manager to McManus.
"He was still at Enda's doing a bit. He was a great old school master for the new horses. He was a grand old horse and did well."

Farmers suffer as fuel shortages hit countryside
FARMERS in rural areas feel they will be left out in the cold this Easter weekend as towns and cities are given priority for deliveries of fuel.
Lee Cox, who runs a mixed arable and livestock enterprise in Oakley, Buckinghamshire, said his supplier had told him there was a seven to 10 day wait for farm diesel.
"When I rang to put my order in on Monday (April 2) I was told I was looking at next Tuesday at the earliest," said Mr Cox.
"I was very shocked.
"The countryside will suffer as the towns take priority."
It comes after a week of panic at the pumps as motorists rushed to the forecourts to fill up.
The Government is facing criticism for the way it handled the threat of a strike by fuel tanker drivers.
It said drivers should top up their tanks when they could, but advised there was no fuel shortage.
Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude came under fire for his comments encouraging drivers to store petrol in a jerrycan.
But as crop spraying got well underway, farmers already 'on red' said they were concerned they could run out altogether.
The AA urged the public not to panic buy and said motorists should keep their 'normal fuel buying habits' as normal.
A spokesman said he believed the countryside was being hit the hardest.
Readers' comments (3)
Sir, to coin a phrase " you ain't seen nothin yet " if the tanker drivers strike goes ahead and the army have to deliver fuel, the farmers will be at the back of the queue, there are just not enough army drivers to deliver to every garage, and towns and cities will take preference, they will have to work round the clock just to supply the major ones.
Excuse me, but it is Springtime, isn't it? (supposed to be, anyway...) How are these farmers going to fuel their seeders and fertiliser spreaders and sprayers without diesel fuel? If this crisis continues throughout the seeding window, there will be no (or fewer) crops planted and that means no crops harvested and that means a famine six months down the road...
Farmers ought to be prioritised in a crisis, not shoved to the back of the queue.To Anonymous, which world do you live in, if you think the government give two hoots whether or not crops are sown, farmers are not priority, if you want red diesel go to your local garage with a load of containers and fill them yourselves.
If there is a strike, the government are going to allow motorists to fill up with red diesel but they will have to pay the duty, there will be a shortage of red diesel.

Be a Good Egg . . . and Help Fight Hunger
Today is the first day of spring. What that means to meother than the onset of itchy eyes and
nonstop sneezingis blossoming daffodils, revitalized farmers markets, warmer
days, and eggs!
Whether stuffed with smoked salmon for a festive hors
doeuvre, whipped then folded into the batter of a luscious chiffon cake, or
simply hard-cooked in their shells for my nieces and nephews to search for (and
then abandon in favor of chocolate bunnies), to me, eggs signal all things spring.
Eggs arent only versatile and tasty, theyre also packed
with protein and 13 essential nutrients, all in one cute little package. Which
means that theyre an important tool in the fight against hunger, something
that the folks at the American Egg Board are addressing with their Good Egg
Project. For every person who logs onto their site and takes the pledge to Eat
good. Do good every day. Americas egg farmers will donate an egg to
hunger-relief charity, Feeding America. (Theyre not limiting themselves to the
U.S.: the farmers have also donated 77,000 pounds of dehydrated eggs the equivalent of 2.9 millionto the families
suffering after the devastating earthquake in Haiti.) So, log onto their website, learn something about eggs and
where they come from, and do some good in the process. Itll be a great way to welcome in a
season of more light, and fresh starts.

With being retired, single digit temps and snow and not going anywhere I have completed updating all the state pages to post on 1/1/11 with the new Iowa Shall Issue law etc. I have kicked around the idea of adding the No Gun Sign Law/Meaning to each states page. Have been barnstorming with six people via email about this. I thought this would take more time but have decided since every page must be uploaded around 1/1/11 I should do it now. If I dont get them all done then can add them as I get them done but do the majority now.
I need some assistance. I just cant go with what some says. I have to have something in the law or something written by case law, Official State Website FAQs, Attorney or something more substantial than just opinion. I do realize in some instances there is no law so it is legal. Those will be the tough ones as if it isnt in the law it is legal. But if anyone can help me with links etc to the following states on anything that states or shows if No Gun Signs have the power of the Law behind them or not it would be greatly appreciated. For states not listed I already have that info. If you have info for any state not listed a small post saying they do have the power of law or they dont would help me to recheck what I have. I have made errors before and this would be a check for me. If you wish to view how the items appear on each states page you can go to http://i1096.photobucket.com/albums/...ageWording.png and this image will show it.

Relief of heel pain
Pain healers: Drs. Michael Nirenberg (left) and Michael Lacey, podiatrists at Friendly Foot Care in Crown Point, relieve heel pain through the use of an endoscopic camera. | Supplied photo
Article Extras
Podiatrists Dr. Michael Nirenberg and Dr. Michael Lacey are now using a high-tech treatment to help alleviate heel pain.
"Heel pain is not normal and you do not have to live with it," Dr. Lacey says. People suffer with pain in their heels for many different reasons, Dr. Nirenberg explains. It could be a heel spur or an irritation of a ligament called plantar fasciitis.
"Sometimes the pain starts with the very first step out of bed," Dr. Lacey says. The pain is often sharp or stabbing, and it causes people to limp and soon they often end up with other aches and pains.
To help people with heel pain, the doctors use a tiny but powerful camera called an endoscopic camera. Through a small opening that they make at the side of the patient's heel, they slip the camera inside. The camera quickly alleviates the problem, usually a thickened ligament in the heel.
"The camera makes it easy to alleviate heel pain," Lacey says. "It only takes a few minutes."
The doctors also use the high-tech camera to help alleviate painful arthritis from the foot and ankle. Nirenberg cautions that this high-tech treatment is not for everyone and does not always work, but when it does, he says it's great to see people walking normally — without a painful limp!
Readers of the Post-Tribune and The Times have voted Drs. Nirenberg and Lacey "Best Podiatrist" four times in a row! The doctors pride themselves on using the latest technology to alleviate heel, foot and ankle pain and problems.
If you have heel pain or any other foot or ankle problems, you can reach Drs. Nirenberg and Lacey at (219)663-2273 or you can learn more about their practice and their amazing "Less Painful Shot" technology at www.FriendlyFootCare.com.

The low-key couple took in a burlesque show in L.A. while celebrating K-Stew's big 2-2 and HollywoodLife.com can give you more romantic details about their night — read on!
Did you really think Robert Pattinson wouldn't take Kristen Stewart out for a night on the town to celebrate her 22nd birthday? We told you that E! Online reported that Rob, Kristen and 15 of their friends hit up L.A. hipster bar Harvard and Stone on April 7, where they had "lots of drinks on the top floor" and took in a "burlesque show." and now HollywoodLife.com can give you more EXCLUSIVE details about the date night!
"It is a really small, very cool hidden spot so no one paid any mind to them or seemed to notice," an eyewitness tells us. "I saw them as they came down to exit … I was leaving at the same time. Rob was rounding the group up and Kristen went first with friends and Rob followed."
Our eyewitness adds that Kristen was wearing a black hoodie, black leather jacket and skinny jeans, while Rob sported an Adidas shirt and a full-grown beard.
"They were waiting on the street when I passed and said hey," the eyewitness tells us. "The bar has a house band and dee-jay and plays oldies, 50s and 60s classics. No one seemed to notice they were there."
In typical "Robsten" style, the couple was reportedly very laid back, and they didn't do any dancing.
A low-key night, surrounded by friends? Sounds like the perfect way for K-Stew to celebrate her big day!

Your wishing Happy Birthday, to yourself s and people dumb enough including myself to read this garbage. Kristen has a group of close friends she spends time with.She might be flattered by her fans and is glad she has us,but at the end of the day she spends time with them not us.Are investment into her is way more than what she invests in to us.

So they went to a bar in Hollywood with 15 of their closest friends (never a romantic date, always a group outing, yet again), and got drunk and watched a burlesque show. Cause if I was a 22 year old female, I'd want to watch girls strip for my birthday, wouldn't you? Riiiiiiight.

Have fun with your photos
Photofunia is a ridiculously simple photo effects app that lets you drop your photos into funny and interesting scenes, similar to those you might find at an amusement park photo booth.
Photofunia is a ridiculously simple photo effects app that lets you drop your photos into funny and interesting scenes, similar to those you might find at an amusement park photo booth. If, say, you want to see what your face might look like on a billboard in Times Square, Photofunia has an effect for that. How about on the cover of Esquire Magazine? Photofunia's got that covered too. With an incredible number of effects available, the possibilities seem endless.
To get started with Photofunia, just fire up the app and start looking for an effect you like. You can scroll through an exhaustive list of the app's almost 300 effects, or you can browse by category. Some of the categories include Billboards, Vintage, Posters, Movies, TV, and Books. There's even a Celebrities category, which has effects that can almost magically put you in a photo with the likes of Brad Pitt, Paris Hilton, or Marilyn Monroe. Finally, the app also offers a number of different filters for sepia and lomography-type effects.
Once you find an effect you like, tap it, and select a photo to use. You can select an existing photo from your Gallery or take a new one. Then, just let Photofunia take care of the rest. The app uses face-detection technology to find the person in the photo and insert them appropriately into the scene. If your source photo has two or more people in it, you can try to zoom in on the face you want to use, and crop. However, make sure the face you're targeting is well-lit, as the app can sometimes run into problems otherwise. In fact, one thing I think Photofunia is missing is a manual adjustment tool that lets you determine the placement of the effect, in cases when the face-detection isn't working.
Once Photofunia is done applying its magic, you can either save your new picture to your mobile device or share it using Android's Share button. It's important to note that all of Photofunia's effects are applied in the cloud, which means an active data connection is required to use the app.
One thing I love about Photofunia is the Favorites folder. Since the app offers so many different effects, the ability to bookmark some for frequent access is a godsend.
Overall, I think Photofunia is a fantasically fun photo app that's drum up some laughs with your friends and family. It offers almost 300 different effects, is remarkably simple to use, and outputs some surprisingly sharp (though silly) finished photos.

Anglos, particularly in South Miami-Dade, would be much more difficult to convince. The polls showed they were bitter about unrealized Metrorail service, endemic corruption, monies diverted, and never-ending construction projects.
Based on the polls of May and June, Washington, D.C.-based political consultant Tad Devine helped fashion messages for the campaign. On July 1 Devine sent a memo to Brian May, former Penelas chief of staff and one of the campaign's main strategists. The document signaled an important shift in strategy: Voters could be supportive if they were educated on the plan.
The idea of a stealth campaign was rejected as impractical. "They were trying to keep it simple and not talk about the issue," recalls one campaign insider. "The idea was to go for low voter turnout. Don't awaken the Cuban community; keep the monster asleep. And you can't keep that monster asleep."
Herman Echevarria and others involved in the effort insist they never seriously thought they could sneak the election past voters.
Devine recommended against a "turn-off-the-lights" campaign, whereby pro-tax forces would stay away from television and only focus on certain segments of the electorate. They couldn't depend on a low turnout. They needed a large vote in favor. It was also clear that without knowledge of the plan, voters definitely wouldn't support it.
Devine advised May to back away from the "Transit Not Tolls" slogan the campaign was using. Polling indicated the promised removal of a handful of tolls in exchange for a penny sales tax did not sufficiently excite the electorate. He recommended instead that campaigners emphasize a single penny and trade in on the mayor's popularity, particularly among Hispanics.
The campaigners hoped their boyishly handsome and charismatic 37-year-old mayor would melt resistance with the warmth of his popularity. "You can't pass a tax without a champion," says Brian May. "The community trusts him."
Devine agreed and Alex Penelas became the focal point of the strategy. The campaign would use the mayor primarily to target Hispanics, the largest voter group with 42 percent of registered voters.
"The Spanish-language radio should be dominated by Mayor Penelas, who is our strongest weapon in that community," Devine urged in the memo. "I would recommend limiting his broadcast presence to radio since we are likely to raise scrutiny if we used him in one televised venue (in Spanish-language television) and not in the English venue."
But by the end of the campaign Penelas would appear on almost all available media in a frantic dash to the finish.
Devine suggested the message should focus on the undeniable reality of Miami-Dade County's traffic nightmare. Stump speeches would begin with justifiable anxiety over worsening traffic.
"It's clear from the poll that the 'fear of the future' argument is the strongest," Devine wrote. "The voters clearly understand that this [traffic] problem is bad and it is getting worse."
No help could be expected from the media. Devine warned reporting would likely be negative. "This includes sensational coverage from television stations that will exploit opportunities such as the continuation of tolls on state highways and the prospect of future tolls to sensationalize aspects of this campaign," he wrote to May in the early July memo. "Additionally the print media, including the Miami Herald, may editorialize in favor of this but we are likely to see negative news coverage."
The strategy (stressing traffic, targeting special groups, and boosting the mayor) was set, only now a quick election had become an enemy, not an ally.
In the end the Penelas team miscalculated. On election day people came out in droves for an issue that directly affected their wallets, and they flatly rejected the $1.8 million effort. The focus on "quality" voters had been shortsighted. At the Carol City United Methodist Church polling place, the campaign had identified and focused on 131 quality voters in the precinct, but a total of 340 voters cast a ballot. Of those, 224 voted against the plan. In Hialeah it was no better. At Milander Auditorium 846 voters came out, 619 against, when only 340 quality votes had been identified.
The modern campaign based on commercials, mail, and grassroots mobilization does not come cheap, particularly for an issue that few embrace.
"[We knew] we would need a lot of money," says Allen Harper, chief fundraiser for the penny-tax campaign. "Nobody likes a tax increase."
Roughly 75 percent of the money raised went to publicizing the tax plan in the media, with the remaining funds used for Get Out the Vote, according to Brian May, who directed the dollars. As of July 25, Penelas's inner circle of advisors received more than $500,000, which went for media, GOTV, and their own expertise. (The campaign treasury reports for the final four days, which will reveal what happened to the leftover $336,620, will not be filed until October.) BVK Meka, Herman Echevarria's firm, received $273,590 for its services. Dewey Knight's agency received $105,000 for the work he and his partner Bill Perry undertook. Keith Fredericks's polling and advice cost the campaign $63,367. Ric Katz's firm received $20,174. Tad Devine's firm's work cost $8955. Brian May's firm, Strategic Edge, received $15,306.
When campaign officials approached media consultant Pedro Milian to conduct the push on Spanish radio and television, his assessment was brutally simple. "I told them, 'Bring a lot of money and spend all that you can,'" he remembers.

Marching Warriors play National Anthem for 22,000 baseball fans at Petco ParkThursday, May 2nd, 2013 Issue 18, Volume 17.
Cheers and applause came from the stadium after the National Anthem was played. But the loudest roar came from the right field seats. Right field is where over 400 Fallbrook fans were seated in support of the Fallbrook Marching Warriors. Many parents spoke out in favor of the high school program and band director Mr. Torres. "These kids are amazing; thank you Mr. Torres for what you have done to help these kids become so great," said John Stewart, parent of trumpet player Bonnie Stewart. "They owned it tonight! Way to go Marching Warriors! So proud of you!" said Angel Minton, whose daughter Emily Heath plays mellophone. The Padres Baseball Club invited the Marching Warriors to play due to the bands stellar competitive season and as part of the Padres student outreach program recognizing San Diegos most talented students. Tickets donated by the Padres netted the high school band close to $3,500 in much-needed funds. "We are thankful to Fallbrook for supporting this school program and saving it for future student musicians," said Band Booster Sally Montiano, whose twins Olivia and Lucia Montiano play the clarinet and flute. "The program still has a long way to go in order to recover from years of budget cuts and lack of investment, but fundraising is certainly now headed in the right direction." The bands final concert of the season will take place Thursday, May 23, at 7 p.m. at the Bob Burton Performing Arts Center at Fallbrook High School. Positions are available in the band for incoming freshmen and current high school students. Preparation for next years season is already underway and band camp commences in late July. Interested parents or Fallbrook High students can contact Victor Torres by email for more information about the program at firstname.lastname@example.com. 2 comments
I love articles on students who are doing amazing things and their equally amazing and supportive parents. What a contrast to the appalling behavior of the Scripps students who created and posted a twerking video. Fallbrook honored their school Scripps chose to embarrass themselves and their school. The Marching Warriors rock!!!!
Great job Warriors! Love the marching band! Especially at Friday night football! Nothing like the team and band walking up to the field together like they used to. Not sure if they still do, but boy did that pump me up!

Unintuitive file management
Wade through a lot of features to find the best of this otherwise useful program.
FreeCommander is a file management program that lets users view their file hierarchies in two separate panes, making it easy to navigate between them. Although the program's interface leaves something to be desired, it contains many features that users may find useful when managing their files.
Our first impression of FreeCommander's interface was not favorable. The contents of our computer were displayed in both of the two viewing panes, and across the top of the interface were a slew of tiny, unlabeled buttons. Although the program's basic features were clear--it was easy, for example, to drag and drop files between the two panes--a lot of the program's other functions were not at all intuitive. We were further irritated by the fact that the program's Help file had to be downloaded separately, and although it is thorough, it's a little overwhelming and not entirely well organized. From what we could gather about the program's features, it appears that in addition to the basic cut/copy/paste sorts of functions, users can do other useful things like "pack" files into an archive. Users can also split large files into separate pieces, create filters for searching for specific file types, and create a favorites folder. In general, the program seems quite feature-rich, but the way the features are organized makes it hard to get a handle on what the program is actually capable of.
FreeCommander is free. It comes as a zip file, but installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users who don't mind taking some time to wade through an unintuitive interface.

Hey everyone
I recently received an email question that I get quite frequently and thought it would be a good idea to share it! It is on the subject of the alkaline diet and muscle growth.
Hi Ross
How are you? I've been using your alkaline Dr Young products and eating as much alkaline food as I can and have noticed good improvements in my energy levels in the past few weeks. I'm sleeping better and my skin has never been so clear. I have bought the 12 week alkaline diet course but am waiting until I go back to London to get it underway.
I gather from a few of your posts that you go to the gym quite frequently. I am now getting back in to gym mode, and was wondering if you could advise me on the following..
In terms of building muscle, could you advise on the best way to do that using the alkaline lifestyle… for example – What supplements, if any, would you take before you go to the gym and what should I take after the gym? Any advice would be gratetfully appreciated!! One of my goals over the 12 weeks alkaline diet programme is to try and broaden my shoulders and get as strong as possible. I'm hoping that by going alkaline, it will help me achieve my target…
This is a subject that is close to my heart and has been an area of experimentation and research for me personally over the six years I've been alkalising.
Essentially, the fundamental rules for building muscle stay the same, but you have to stay within the parameters of being alkaline. This might seem like a harder road to follow but the benefits, to me, are:
1. You are eating clean, so when you bulk up you don't put on fat like a lot of guys, and then need to cut – I don't necessarily think this yo-yoing with healthy living is a good thing for your diet
2. You are eating lots of greens, rich in chlorophyll that help to build healthy red blood cells – one of the cornerstones of muscle growth
3. You maintain your energy, improved sleep, improved skin etc (all of the things I got out of alkalising too!) – eating like most gym goers will leave you feeling the opposite of this
4. Eating the way a lot of gym goers eat is incredibly unhealthy, especially when you are then putting your body under such stress.
I have always been a believer that the hard work is done in the kitchen and the gym is the easy, enjoyable part and this should be true to everyone, not just those who are alkalising. I've interviewed a very, very good personal trainer called Scott Brady for the blog, and I definitely recommend you check it out here. He's a great guy and gave some awesome advice.
But here are my general recommendations:
1. Lift big and focus on the fundamental exercises, squats, presses, pull ups etc. The biggest lesson I've learned in the past few years is to focus heaps more on my legs. By growing these large muscle groups the knock on effect it has had on the rest of my body has been really noticable.
2. Eat heaps, this is the same for everyone, but especially for us when we're living alkaline. It is easier for others to get the short term gain of the crap food by stuffing carb-heavy, fat-heavy convenience food in. Sure this gives your body something to work with, but it is so short sighted because as soon as you've got the instant benefit of putting something in – all of the transfats and sugar will go and do the opposite to what you want. However, making sure you do eat enough is super-important. I find alkaline, veggie wraps with hummous are a great, quick snack. Keep up the nuts & seeds. Try to mix your proteins so that you get the full range of aminos. I also find making up large base salads with quinoa, beans, seeds etc is great. Keep it in the fridge and then you can just quickly chop in a heap of tomatoes, cucumber etc into it and dress it with omega oils and you're good to go in two mins.
3. Make sure you have something good, clean and alkaline to eat as soon as you've finished at the gym. It doesn't have to be perfect, but if it is 60-70% good then you're sweet.
4. Drink enough! Staying hydrated is critical to muscle development. Get your 4 litres of alkaline water every day.
5. Get lots of omega oils. Go onto any bodybuilding forum and you'll hear the same. Omega oils, especially omega 3 are so devoid in our modern lifestyle yet they are so critical to our health, energy and muscle growth. I strongly recommend Udo's Choice
6. Protein is obviously necessary. The big debate is how much. I believe that if you are lifting and exercising regularly then you do need more than the average person and I aim for between 70-110g per day. I don't obsess over it though and I do believe I get enough without it running my life! Tips I'd have to get this amount are:
1. I often put a scoop of organic hemp protein into my green drinks. This probably adds between 20-40g per day to my diet.
2. I also put silken tofu into my alkaline shakes. Here is a pH boosting protein shake recipe I usually use.
3. I eat tofu a couple of times per week in dishes like this alkaline chilli lime steam fry.
4. I use Bragg Liquid Aminos instead of soy sauce in a lot of dishes. Tastes great and does provide a nice mix of amino acids!
5. I eat a lot of beans and pulses like chick peas, kidney beans, aduki beans, cannelini beans etc. I tend to soak my own organic ones, but as a protein guide – a can is about 25g of protein. I would probably use a can sized amount in a salad for lunch.
6. Obviously I get untold amounts of protein-rich greens like spinach, broccoli etc every day.
7. Almond butter is pretty handy in place of peanut butter – peanut butter is insanely acid-forming.
7. Rest – make sure you get enough! It's too easy to overdo!
I hope this helps buddy! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns or ideas! I'd love to hear how you get on. Just remember to eat enough, drink enough and set goals!
All the best, keep in touch

quote: There is not one logical reason why we should not offer government subsidies for higher education.
quote:enacting tax policy that grows GDP should be celebrated
