More than 400 students and local residents gathered at York College on Tuesday to hear the Reverend Jesse Jackson announce his endorsement of mayoral candidate Fernando Ferrer. He was joined by the Reverend Al Sharpton and other Queens Democratic elected officials.
Jackson compared Ferrer and Bloomberg to David and Goliath. "The battle between Ferrer and Bloomberg boils down to what side of history you are on. Fernando Ferrer is the proverbial David versus the gigantic, well-funded money machine of a Goliath. No matter the odds, when David shows up with courage and the right commitment and the right values, he will win."
Jackson asked the crowd whose side they were on. He painted a picture of Bloomberg as being a close Bush ally and a major donor to right-wing Republicans.
"On one side, we have the largest investor in the Bush/Cheney agenda, one of the largest stakeholders in the Tom DeLay political groups. And on the other side, we have Fernando Ferrer, who has been supported by people like Charlie Rangel, Hillary Clinton, Percy Sutton, John Edwards, Virginia Fields and Dennis Rivera."
Jackson described Ferrer's supporters as a team that has fought to expand the middle class and to help Americans overcome poverty.
"In a city where black male unemployment is at a crisis level and the poverty rate is increasing, the poor and middle class need a man in City Hall who will make a forceful case for inclusion. Ferrer is that man and that is why I am proud to join him in this fight," he said.
Sharpton, who endorsed Ferrer last month, blasted Bloomberg and echoed some of Jackson's comments. He said the mayor thinks he can distract the city with his money and fancy campaign fliers.
"Bloomberg says he's with us in advertisements on television and on the radio, but in the back rooms he snubs our debate and hides his links to Bush and right-wing Republicans," Sharpton said.
He described Bloomberg as a Rudy Giuliani with a smile. "Just because you are nicer than Giuliani doesn't mean that you are administering the policies that would bring this city together. We do not need Rudy with a smile. We need someone like Fernando Ferrer who has proven he will stand for all New Yorkers, not just one side of town."
Sharpton said he has always known where Ferrer stood as a politician. "We're too smart for Bloomberg's parlor games. We're too smart for a mayor who thinks he can pull the wool over our eyes," he added.
Ferrer was honored by Jackson's endorsement. "I am honored to be up here with a leader like Reverend Jackson, a fighter for truth and justice and a committed leader for his community. Today we face a clear choice in this election. We're a great city, but we can be greater. We can rise above the status quo. Reverend Jackson and I believe that we can make this the city we always knew it could be," Ferrer said.

Prostate Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy that implants tiny radioactive seeds directly into the prostate to kill cancer cells. The radiation dose is calculated to match exactly the size and shape of the patient's prostate, ensuring that the area receives the correct radiation dose while preventing unnecessary radiation to surrounding tissues.
Prostate brachytherapy is usually done as an outpatient procedure, and takes about an hour to perform. The patient is placed under general anesthesia, then the radioactive seeds are inserted into the prostate with a special needle, following a personalized treatment plan for placing the seeds. After the procedure, the patient can go home with no limitations to daily activity.
Expertise = Successful Treatment
MD Anderson has been performing prostate brachytherapy since 1998, and our treatment outcomes are remarkable. Nearly 99% of prostate cancer patients we treated with brachytherapy remain disease-free at five years. At the 10-year mark, 92.3% of patients are disease-free, and none have died from prostate cancer after receiving brachytherapy treatment.
Am I Eligible for Prostate Brachytherapy?
The best candidates for prostate brachytherapy are men with:
- A PSA of less than 20
- A Gleason score of 7 or lower
- Cancer confined to the prostate
For patients with more advanced prostate cancer, your doctor may recommend brachytherapy plus external beam radiation.

Gaming can easily distract a person from living a healthy lifestyle. It's so easy to pick up your controller and play online for countless hours while snacking on all those tasty foods that aren't good for you. Just as that's easy, it's also easy to be a healthy gamer! How exactly? How does one go about changing a totally comfortable lifestyle into another? Consider these tips if you're trying to live healthier while staying true to your gaming ways.
Game Healthy
This one's probably not much of a shocker, but get a game that will get you moving. There are so many games on all three major consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii) that could get your body moving. There's everything from workouts to dancing, take advantage of this technology. Achievements are a great way to push you towards better health!
Switch Snacks
Snacks can be healthy and delicious! Try different fruits and vegetables and check out different dips. I personally like snacking on carrots with ranch dip, dried fruit, or fresh fruit. But we've all got that weak spot, that one snack we just can't say no to. So rather than completely throwing it out of the picture-because this is supposed to be easy-you can reward yourself once a week.
Find Your Inner Image
What does "Find Your Inner Image" mean and how do you do that? It means you aim at having the body you wish. You do that by focusing on the certain areas you want to improve. So if you want to have abs like Hope Solo (which you can find here) or David Beckham-or whoever-you can have them! Do the right exercises, stick to the goal, and you will achieve it!
Be Positive
If you're finding it hard to do all these exercises and eating these foods, rather than saying "this sucks, I want out" find out why it sucks and how you can make it better. If it's the food, look for ways to make it better. If the exercises seem hard, remember, know your limits and don't lie to yourself. When I was trying to lose the extra weight I was carrying, I'd go out for runs. I was realistic, I wasn't going to be able to go on 10 mile runs and expect to feel great. However, I'd go for light jogging for about an hour every two or three days, gradually I increased the mileage and eventually I started running marathons. It wasn't the quickest journey, but I got there.
Becoming healthier isn't about dieting; it's about grabbing and holding onto a new healthy lifestyle. So you will eventually reach your goal if you stay true to your goal. Also just because you start living healthier doesn't mean you can't be true to yourself as a gamer. You being healthier just means your chances of lasting longer to play more games are increased!

Aarons rent to own Complaint
The old bait and swich - Riding mower
Waycross Ga
The first week of March 2010 Aaron s sale paper came out with 99.00 a month to rent a mower to own. Well went there the first day of sale. Had none at all, now they had the next step up which they tried there best to get me to buy. So I asked when will the 99.00 ones be in. They said last week of March. OK Well still no mowers and per the Reginald Manger I emailed they will probably be none. He told me the other stores got them and the USED ones came here. Who wants a used junk mower. If you do not have it do not put it on sale. Or at least let the customer have the next step up for the same price. O now they will loose a dollar. Well word of mouth can take a toll on a dishonest company enough said.

Participating in the first three rounds of the Draftcoundown.com virtual draft has led me to one simple conclusion, the depth of talent in this draft isn't there. The Bears also find themselves in the unenviable position of being in a black hole position in the draft. The talent that you see in middle rounds of most drafts, simply isn't there this year. The deepest positions seem to be WR and CB and there seems to be a vacancy at most other positions.
There may be 10 offensive tackles that could wind up being starter level contributors in the NFL, that many players may get you through the second round. This explains why the Bears have been so public and adamant about the OTs they do have on the roster being good enough. The likelihood that a good OT is there beyond the second round seems slim, and the Bears' plans seem to dictate going defensive heavy in the first three rounds.
The front office seems adamant about taking a pass rusher and the way the talent is laid out grabbing a pass rusher makes the most sense in the first two rounds. If the Bears don't take one in the first round there is also the possibility the Bears have to trade up to take a good DE in the second round. The second round talent likely available would seem to be Vinny Curry, Chandler Jones and Andre Branch. Jones is rumored to even possibly be a late first round type of prospect and even he isn't a great pass rusher. Jones is a complete DE and he plays hard and hustle and he has strength at the point of attack. However he doesn't have the pure bend and rush you see from other prospects. However since the DE class is so shallow his value is inflated beyond normal levels. Jones' game compares to a prospect like Corey Wootton.
The defensive tackle position doesn't have a lot of mid round talent available either. Top DT talent may make it through the second round, after that things get extremely sketchy. This leads to the unfavorable position of the Bears taking a DE and then a DT in the second round to ease the loss of Amobi Okoye.
The two deepest positions in the draft are wide receiver and corner. The Bears if they chose to add another receiver could land a decent prospect as late as the fourth or fifth round. Corner is the same way mid round talent is there and this has always been a position the Bears have found mid round gems in. This lessens the likelihood that the Bears will draft Dre Kirkpatrick at 19 if he's still on the board.
What could best help the Bears on draft day is for a lot of receivers to start coming off the board in the second round. Some where you hope that a run on receivers starts and it causes a bit of a panic and the rest of the GMs follow suit and start taking WRs off the board causing some of the DT talent to trickle into the third round. Relying on this strategy seems to be a recipe for disaster however.
Further complicating matters is the Bears' need for linebacker depth and the lack of true 4-3 linebackers beyond the third round. The Bears may find depth but it's unlikely they're going to find an eventual replacement for Urlacher or Briggs beyond round two.
The way things likely shape up the Bears will have to draft two defensive line players in rounds one and two and then grab a CB or LB in the third round.
The participation in a virtual draft has taught me one thing lower expectations on the Bears finding a bumper crop of four or five starters out of this draft. Phil Emery may be a draft specialist, but even he likely won't be able to pull of a miracle of filling out all of the Bears' needs in one draft or even adding depth to key positions of need.

TrainingPeaks member profile: Selene Yeager, triathlete
As she started training for her first Ironman, Selene began using TrainingPeaks with her coaches at Endurance Multisport. "My coaches at Endurance Multisport used it. It was a tremendous communication tool between them and me. I was training for my first Ironman, so there were a lot of elements to keep up with and specifics to address. Training Peaks made it very easy for me to know exactly what I was supposed to do each and every day. My goal was to do well at Ironman Louisville - I ended up winning my age group and qualifying for Kona, so that all worked out! I would recommend it to a friend."
Although she appreciates the precision that TrainingPeaks offers, Selene also enjoys training intuitively, going by feel to keep her workouts sensible. "I train anywhere from 10 to 17 hours a week in general. I never listen to music when I bike; but often when I run, especially if it's over an hour. I prefer running and riding with just one or two other people; though occasionally a big group on the bike can be a good time. I train very intuitively, almost never using bells and whistles like heart rate, wattage, GPS. I have a power meter on my bike. Sometimes I'll just use that to keep me from overdoing it on an easy day. But I like going by feel."
Still a big fan of triathlon, Selene also enjoys switching it up: she is currently training for a week-long mountain bike stage race in Canada. "I am training for the British Columbia Bike Race, a 7 day mountain bike stage race in Canada. I've enjoyed being able to look back on what I was doing this time last year and compare notes. It's also really great for tracking volume."
Happy training, Selene!

Reviews for Quick Ham and Bean Soup
Sort By :
"very good and very easy. this is going on our monthly menu planner!"
"Sauteed veggies until slightly tender. Put into crock pot with other ingredients. Added a fatty chunk of ham and 6 slices of raw bacon cut into 3 inch slices to add additional flavor. Set on high setting for about an hour or so then turned to low and let cook for several hours. It was delicious straight out of the crock pot, but was even better the next day! Highly recommend this easy receipe! It's fool proof!"
"I put my leftover ham bone in the crock pot with the chicken stock, then added the carrots celery, and onion and the spices after I sauteed them. After slow simmering everything else I added the canned beans. When I served the soup, I topped it with green onions and bacon bits. Everyone came back for more! Happy Smiles all around."
"Quick , easy and inexpensive. I had a left over ham shank and put that in a separate pot with some seasoning in case it needed more flavor but my family loved it just the way it was. Very pleased!"
"We enjoyed this even more when I pureed one can of the beans with some of the chicken broth in a food processor and added for a thicker texture. I also used lower sodium chicken broth."

Fertilizer Company Pays $10K for Cake Baked by Agriculture Commissioner's 9-Year-Old Daughter
Categories: Politicks
Young Abigail Putnam baked a chocolate hazelnut cake for the Polk County Youth Fair Auction this week, and was surprised when her confection went for a staggering price of $10,000. Even the best caked typically go for between $200 and $500.
Turns out the winning bid came from the Mosaic Co, a supporter of the fair and leading employer in the county. Mosaic Co often buys things from children participating in the fair. Usually they buy pigs and other livestock and give the meat to charity.
An unnamed employee was giving a lump sum to buy things at the fair (last year the sum was $17,000), but ended up shelling out a lot of it on the politically-connected baby baker's cake.
Putnam, a Republican who gave up a promising career in the house to run for for Ag Co (and some speculate eventually Governor), didn't appreciate having his daughter put in such an awkward position.
"Even my 9-year-old knows a cake isn't worth $10,000," Putnam told The Ledger.
Putnam and his daughter agreed to donate 90 percent of the sum back the fair.
"I am proud of my daughter and proud of her cake. She feels good about her decision and is excited about it. It's going to help a lot of kids."
Mosaic Co. is currently investigating why they spent so much on the cake to begin with.

if someone has a gun pointed at you and you have a gun pointed at them when you shoot would there finger pull the trigger? ive heard about it in movies but never knew for sure or not
Never thought much on that, sure there would be some kind of reflex, just not sure what it would be, and would it throw point of aim off .... hope i never have tofind out, but I know if Leroy Jethro Gibbs drops the hammer on em, it is over, no reflex shot....
Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American GI. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
I asked my stock broker the other day, what I should be investing in ....his reply, canned goods n ammo !!!
Shot placement is the best answer. If it's a head shot or a hit on the central nerrvous system there should be no reflex. That is why your follow up shots are important.
Can it happen? Yes. Does it happen? Yes. Will it happen? Maybe.
Freedom doesn't come free. It is bought and paid for by the lives and blood of our men and women in uniform.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda . . . Even brain shots envoke reflexes. Reflex are not necessarily brain driven (Think Doc hammering on the kneecap). Maybe this time yes; maybe next time no.

Paranoia strikes deep, into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid... Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
Yes it most certainly CAN happen and DID happen to me as mentioned in a few other posts. Even a centered head-shot just above the eyes with a .357 mag caused a "knee-jerk" nerve/muscle reflex action that instantly made the BG's finger squeeze-off a round as his weapon was coming up on me - and I took a very nasty hit as a result.
During combat in SE Asia, it wasn't uncommon at all to see an enemy squeeze off an instant shot or short AK burst at the moment of what should have been an "instantly immobilizing" massive head-fragmenting hit. During a major fire-fight along with incoming mortar fire, I once had somebody's forearm bounce off me and fall into my foxhole with the hand making a fist and fingers trembling for a couple of seconds - scared the crap out of me and I quickly looked to see if it was mine while my ears were still ringing.
When there's a lot of adrenaline pumping through the body, local nerves can (and frequently do) instantly trigger reactive muscle contraction in response to a traumatic wound even when a limb is completely separated from the body. So, if somebody has the drop on you or you both have the drop on each other, you're in serious trouble unless you're able to move off the X at 1000fps - period!!
To answer your question. Maybe. In your scenario, moving off the X would be of ut-most importance. Shooting on the move is something you should consider in your training...
Don"t let stupid be your skill set....
Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means, that you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you......

I wouldn't worry to much about that situation happening.

So many variables, including but not limited to:
1. Where your round hits the assailant
2. What you shot him with
3. The trigger pull of his firearm
4. His finger placement (frame or trigger)
5. His particular physiology
The only accurate answer to this is "maybe". As noted above, moving and shooting simultaneously probably yields the best chance of not getting shot.
Battle Plan (n) - a list of things that aren't going to happen if you are attacked.
Blame it on Sixto - now that is a viable plan.
There is such a thing as a "no relfex shot" that is effective, but it is only taught to selected individuals and expected to work with a high powered rifle.
A handgun round does not have sufficient power to guarantee it, it might work or it might not, it usally dosent.
There are some targets that outline the areas to be hit, but they must be done only with specific angles and the target is small enough that one really needs a scoped rifle to attempt it. One shot is through the teeth to the back of the cerebral cortex. Another involved a small triangular area around the nose. Any shot that is off target may not have the intended effect.
Bottom line is this...
If you havent been specifically trained in it, dont try it and dont expect it to work with a handgun, because you are already set up to fail.
I would rather stand against the cannons of the wicked than against the prayers of the righteous.

If he is going to harm my family then it doesn't matter. He has to go down and if I have to take some in the process to protect the fam then so be it. If I'm alone then I might assess the situation differently. But always aware there could possibly be a reflex from BG.
if it can or not your over thinking it; be the first to shoot

For the past few days my left hip joint has been really bothering me. I can barely walk on my own.
A little history on this...
When I was 11 years old, I fell hard on my left side off my bicycle while attempting to hop a curb like my friends could do. Over a period of about a week and a half, my left hip slowly gave way, and eventually dislocated. I must have injured something inside there to make it do that, but the weird part is, it didn't happen upon impacting the pavement.
Ever since then, the joint never healed right, and I don't have the range of motion. As a result of that, I am unable to join the military, or become an LEO, or practice martial arts (which is another reason I chose to carry a firearm).
I had two surgeries performed to repair the damage, first time they put a metal screw in my hip to hold it in place, the 2nd time they took it out due to complications.
Now fast forward to now, I went to the ER on Monday to see what the deal was. They told me what I already knew (I have degeneration in my left hip area), and gave me a prescription for pain killers. Eventually I will need total hip replacement, but let me get to my point.
Right now I am on crutches and I keep wondering how in the world would I be able to draw fast enough if I need to when I'm using a pair of crutches. I suppose the only way to do that is to drop one crutch and draw.
Unfortunately I don't have medical insurance, and I very well may lose my job, because at this point I am unable to perform some of the essential functions of my job. Another thing I'm concerned about is my carry gun putting pressure on my hips, and making it worse. Perhaps its time to consider that pocket revolver.
Well anyway, for those of you that pray, please pray for me. I don't know if my left hip joint will dislocate again, or if it will heal itself.

I've been increasing my driving length slowly over time. I hit a plateau and couldn't get past 300ft! I tried this disc that had been sitting at the bottom of my bag because I was mad at all my other discs and I stopped using this nuke elite Z because it hooked on me really bad and just dropped in mid flight. I finally did a 360 spin instead of an x step , just to try it out again. I put enough velocity behind my drive that the throw landed right by the pin that was about 330ft away. If I wouldn't have hit that tree in the way , this disc literally would have went at least 375ft and I'm not by any means a power arm in the driving department. I was so surprised!! I made my friend give me my nuke back I gave him, but I did tell him I'd buy him a different disc!
If you put enough spin on this disc, it will fly farther than you expect!
If you master this disc, it will be it favorite driver and you will increase your distance, guaranteed!!
RHBH good
LHBH good
Not good for beginners at all!!
Sucks in the tailwind.

Sidearm isn't good!!

I love my nuke, I throw a 175g in headwinds, and my 164g in tailwinds with great response. I almost always throw it sidearm/forehand and it works great for me (I use a 1st run Crank as my RHBH bomber). If thrown correctly it has a beautiful consistent S curve. It can be hard to get used too, but once you get it figured out it will be one of your favorites. I recommend for RHBH, and if you sidearm throwers work with it and break it in good you will be very pleased. Do not be disappointed if this disc does not work out right away, it tends to be pretty over-stable out of the box, and can take a little bit to break in good (the elite-x nuke breaks in much faster). This is one of the most popular drivers out there for a reason!
Heavy models good for headwind and power throwers
Light models good for tailwind and lighter throwers
Mid weight 170g ish, will do good as an all around if you only want one.
If it hits the ground flat and level it can skip keep going for a good distance!
It can get you around obstacles in your path if thrown on a hyzer or anhyzer and still get good distance!
Not a great beginner disc, especially the heavy models. (If you have a trouble with a light nuke, try the nuke ss!)
Not a very good roller.
Heavy discs will dive into the ground with a tailwind, same with light discs in a headwind.
It can take awhile to break in good. If you want a shorter break in period, get the elite-x

Its Spring time! So you know what that means? Spring Cleaning: Out with old and in with the new!
While you're cleaning your home during this season, be sure to spring clean your health and life as well.
Start with something simple - organize. Clearing out the clutter can help you feel less anxious and more in control. Whether it's a closet overflowing with clothes or the kitchen counter, try aiming your sights on it until the project is complete.
A quick tip for clothes, if you haven't worn it in a year make it disappear - donate it.
Next, give your health a spring makeover! During the holidays and winter months we tend to eat heavier foods, deserts, and beverages.
A good way to cleanse your health this spring is by eating fresh fruits and vegetables. You can find them locally. One of my favorite places for produce is the Rochester Public Market. You can't get any fresher than that!
The best thing about buying locally grown produce is that they are fresher, suffer less damage in transit, and are better tasting. Some of spring's harvest includes; strawberries, asparagus, carrots, garlic, peas, lemons, apricots, and beets. These are a few you can incorporate into your diet that provide great benefits for your body's health.
For more information and hours of operation to Rochester's Public Market follow the link below.

In international politics, the group of states sharing the peacetime policy of avoiding political or economic affiliations with major power blocs. At its beginning the nonaligned movement consisted primarily of Asian and African states that were once colonies of the Western powers and were wary of being drawn into a new form of dependence by the West or by the communist bloc. Founded by Jawaharlal Nehru, Gamal Abdel Nasser, and others, the movement held its first official meeting in 1961 in Bandung, Indon.; 25 countries attended. Meetings have since been held on a three-year schedule. While the Soviet Union existed, the movement tended to seek development assistance from both the U.S. and the Soviet Union but to refrain from forming political or military alliances with either country. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the nonaligned movement has been chiefly concerned with debt forgiveness and with development of fairer trade relationships with the West. By the early 21st century the movement had more than 110 members.
Learn more about nonaligned movement with a free trial on Britannica.com.
The term "Non-Alignment" itself was coined by Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru during his speech in 1954 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. In this speech, Nehru described the five pillars to be used as a guide for Sino-Indian relations, which were first put forth by Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai. Called Panchsheel (five restraints), these principles would later serve as the basis of the Non-Aligned Movement. The five principles were:
Jawaharlal Nehru's concept of nonalignment brought India considerable international prestige among newly independent states that shared India's concerns about the military confrontation between the superpowers and the influence of the former colonial powers. New Delhi used nonalignment to establish a significant role for itself as a leader of the Third World in such multilateral organizations as the United Nations (UN) and the Nonaligned Movement. The signing of the Treaty of Peace, Friendship, and Cooperation between India and the Soviet Union in 1971 and India's involvement in the internal affairs of its smaller neighbors in the 1970s and 1980s tarnished New Delhi's image as a nonaligned nation and led some observers to note that in practice, nonalignment applied only to India's relations with countries outside South Asia.
The end of the Cold War left the Nonaligned Movement without its original raison d'être, and its membership became deeply divided over international disputes, strategy, and organization. During the 1992 Jakarta summit, India took a middle position between countries favoring confrontation with developed nations on international economic issues, such as Malaysia, and those that favored a more cooperative approach, such as Indonesia. Although New Delhi played a minor role compared with Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta on most issues facing the summit, India formulated the Nonaligned Movement position opposing developed countries' linkage of foreign aid to human rights criteria.
India also is a founding member of the Group of fifteen, a group of developing nations established at the ninth Nonaligned Movement summit in Belgrade in 1989 to facilitate dialogue with the industrialized countries. India played host to the fourth Group of Fifteen summit in March 1994. At the summit, Prime Minister Narsimha Rao and other leaders expressed concern over new trade barriers being raised by the industrialized countries despite the conclusion of a new world trade agreement.

text: 2 nice quality eyeshadows for 1 eur is a good deal to me. compared to another cheap makeup brand essence, this eyeshadow is less chalky and more refined in texture. the light blue in this duo is very wearable. the darker blue is surprisingly very defined so you need to be really light handed to apply it as a crease color. i find the packaging much nicer than the packaging of 10-12 eur eyeshadows (maybelline, isadora). it has no ugly or excessive shimmer or sparkle, which is a good indication of good quality eyeshadow to me. but i didnt like the staying power that much.

Edit Your Page |
Hello to all of the Provenzano's and Messina's out there who might be related to us: We have a huge family and I welcome you to join us in creating our family tree and hopefully, finding out more about our family as it is today. Many of our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles have passed and its never too late to create the family bond that we may have missed out on in years past. Let's find out if we're related...my gosh, there can't be that many of us out there. If you are in any way related to anyone in our family history, please feel free to contact me so we can make a connection, add you to the family tree and hopefully keep in touch. My family (the Provenzano's - Gino and Charlie) moved out to California in the early 1950's from Buffalo, New York (Potomac Street & Michigan Avenue to be exact). To date, we've lost touch with most of our relatives and would joy in the reunion of our family. Most of our family is still in Buffalo (I'm guessing). Again, I welcome any information you can provide regarding any of the surnames in our family tree - Provenzano, Messina, Scibetta, Tomasi, Valenti, Cerincione, Cacciatore, etc. Please email any and all information to : firstname.lastname@example.com Love to you all!!! |

It's officially spring! Woot! Woot! It'll be a while before all of the spring produce is fully in effect (seeing as we just got a fresh dump of snow) so I wanted to celebrate with something that could me made now to usher in the change of seasons and celebrate the new produce that is soon to be on it's way. I was in the mood for strawberries after they were on sale at the supermarket but were disappointing in flavour. I still have a couple jars of rhubarb strawberry jam from last year and once I got the idea to ripple it through a loaf of lemony bread it could not be stopped!
Now let's get one thing straight. This is not a light and airy lemon loaf. It is sticky and moist – it does have a ripple of jam throughout after all. I was hoping to show you a shot of the inside but, well, I was lucky I grabbed this one because I had an inkling I wouldn't have another chance before we gobbled it all up.
If you didn't get around to making the rhubarb strawberry jam last year, do not despair, you may substitute it with another jam if you wish. But, I would recommend using a low-sugar jam as the rhubarb strawberry jam is low-sugar and I'm afraid regular jam would make the overall bread too sweet. But really, you should make a batch of this jam at your earliest convenience so that you can enjoy rhubarb-strawberry floats and sticky lemon loafs all year long.
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- zest of one lemon
- ½ cup *low-sugar rhubarb strawberry jam
- In a medium-sized bowl whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, until well blended.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together egg, oil, yogurt, vanilla, lemon juice and zest. Pour into flour mixture and stir just until combined.
- Pour half of the batter into a greased a 8.5x4.5 inch pan. Top with spoonfuls of jam (about half) Top with remaining batter and spoonfuls of remaining jam. Using a knife or a toothpick cut through the batter in a circular motion to produce swirls.
- Bake at 325ºF for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes then gently loosen sides with a knife or spatula and turn out onto a cooling wrack to cool completely (it will be fragile).
- Wrap in plastic wrap and store in the fridge. Best if eaten within a few days of baking.
*Here is the recipe for low-sugar rhubarb strawberry jam. And, here is a recipe for homemade Greek yogurt.

Well, I cancelled my EQ account months ago, but I'm still on an Everlasting Quest for amusement and information. And last night I stumbled upon a fascinating website:
Lum the Mad
You may recognize the name "Lum the Mad" from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. [1] But for whatever reason, TSR seems to be letting this guy get away with using their intellectual property as the name of a huge website with articles about all the "massively multiplayer" games out there.
It's fascinating reading, and there's plenty of great meaty stuff related to game design (often even in the articles that don't, at first glance, appear to have anything to do with it). In fact, I should have posted this in World Design, but I'm too lasy to cut-and-paste what I've written so far.
Granted, I've been aware of this site for less than 24 hours, so I may simply be in the throes of new-discovery enthusiasm. Still, I think there's a lot of valuable stuff to pick through here.
[1] The original AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide was probably one of the most re-readable, idea-packed books I've ever read. Almost as much so as The Dream Maker! :)

Memorial Day Weekend is often a time when families get together and kicks off the unofficial start to summer when there are parties and get-togethers galore! To make those events extra special, we get some tips for decorating cupcakes.
Hamburger Cupcake
To make the Hamburger Cupcake, you use yellow cupcake as the buns, chocolate cupcake as the patty, and different colored frostings to make the lettuce, mustard, and ketchup.
Baseball Cupcake
Take a yellow cupcake, cover top with white frosting. Dip white frosting in white ball sprinkles, smooth over top. Use red frosting to create the red stitching of a baseball.
Flower Cupcake
Take a yellow cupcake, cover top with white frosting. Then, cut up green Fruit Roll-Ups into the shapes of the stem and leaves. Use red jelly beans for the petals.
Puppy Cupcake
This recipe has a lot of chocolate. Use a chocolate cupcake, cover with chocolate frosting, then dip frosted cupcake in sprinkles. Use a the cookie portion of an Oreo, cut it in half and place the two halves on top for the ears. Use squeezed frosting to create eyes and mouth.
Dirt & Worms Cupcake
This cupcake design is similar to our Puppy Dog decoration. Both use chocolate cupcakes, chocolate frosting, and Oreos.
The difference? Colorful gummy worms. And this recipe replace the chocolate sprinkles with crushed Oreos to represent dirt. Press the gummy worms on the top of the cupcake to make it seem the worms are coming out of the dirt.
