Fresh Diet Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Dieters often find the most difficult part of staying on a program is meal and snack preparation. It can be confusing to ascertain what foods are appropriate on any given diet, which may eventually lead to frustration and failure. The Fresh Diet Program prevents this by delivering all meals and snacks to the dieter. The Fresh Diet program was established in 2005 in Florida. Service now includes most areas in Florida, Chicago, Southern California, the New York tri-state area, Indianapolis, Boston, Baltimore, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and most of Virginia. This fresh food delivery program is based on the Zone diet and meal plans provide 40% carbohydrates, 30% fats, and 30% proteins.
There are several program packages that can be purchased, starting from one week and moving up to a month. Prices range from $349 for the one week plan to almost $1400 for the one month plan. If a meal is not needed for whatever reason clients can call, within twenty-four hours, and cancel the meals for the desired day and reschedule them for a later time. There are two program plans, Chef's Choice and Premium Choice. Chef's Choice is the least expensive and has fewer dining options and limits food exclusions to eight. The Premium choice gives participants four or more options for each meal and an unlimited number of food exclusions.
List of Ingredients
There are numerous meals provided by The Fresh Diet program and each meal has different ingredients.
Product Features
Three prepared meals and two snacks are delivered fresh each day and are never frozen, vacuum packed, or freeze dried. Certified dieticians and an online meal planner allow customers to have direct input into what meals and snacks they are served. The plan can work around food preferences and dietary restrictions, allowing for a great deal of customization. Finally, dieters can set their caloric intake to fit their weight loss goals.
- Healthy meals with no work.
- Personal diet counselors help create individual plans.
- No exercise instructions.
- Limited availability.
- Very expensive.
- The plan is for individuals, not ideal for families.
This is a fantastic plan for dieters who don't know what to eat, don't like to cook, don't have the time to cook, or want to feel pampered while dieting. The problem is that most people can't afford to spend more than $1400 per person a month on food. Considering that according to the Department of Labor, a family of four spends an average of a bit of $700 a month on food. Because it is so cost prohibitive, this would only work for those with a substantial income. Also, the program offers no exercise advice which can play a critical role in weight loss.

Hey guys great break.... just got a 48 qt rubber maid from my busch rep, (gotta love free) just gonna cost me a sixer of HB. My question is should I build a manifold or a braided setup. and if manifold PVC or copper. SHould I solder or just dry fit for cleaning puposes. Thanks for all the help The cooler is great, it even has Busch barvarian beer logo on the side, "brewing 50 years" thanks again
I guess most people will recommend what they use..... So here's mine. 80% effec never a stuck mash. (batch sparge) Copper manifold, slots, partially sweated so It doesn't fall apart but it's easy to clean. (Check my sig for pictures)
If you are going to batch sparge then I would go with a stainless steel braid. I have never had a problem as have many others, just make sure it is actually stainless and not plastic.
There you have it - 3 different answers, three different methods. I use a false bottom (keg MLT)! Just pick one and go with it. The SS braid is the easiest, but if you want more of a project, do a manifold. Can't go wrong with either one it seems. Cheers.
If you are batch sparging, then I would recommend a SS braid. It is the cheapest and easiest to construct (see my sig for details). Honestly, though -- I haven't tried this out my setup yet, so you will have to look to others to see what works best for them. But I did look around thoroughly, and it seems that the popular concensus is that for batch sparging, it doesn't really matter what you use. So I went with the cheap and easy solution.
What's wrong with copper tubing when batch sparging? And what's the deal with PVC?

As promised, here's my second post in a series on what's an online -first newsroom. The first post in the series focused on the philosophical ideas that should form a foundation in this newsroom.
Today, I'll talk about the nitty gritty of an online-first newsroom. This example assumes that a newsroom has both a Web site, and a print publication.
Think about the Web first: This seems obvious. If you're online first, you think about the Web first. That doesn't mean throw the leftovers to the print. It means conceive of the Web product first. As a blog post at Lectroid.net says, "If you're still automatically (or semi-automatically) shoveling content from the "print product" to the "web product" you're doing it wrong. " Not everything in print should be on the Web. Content must be tailored for the particular medium. And the best of the Web should come back to the print. It's a circle: The Web flows to print, which flows to the Web, which flows to print in one seamless sphere that connects with readers.
Ask different questions: To focus on Web first, I'd suggest a series of informal meetings throughout the day (my newspaper calls them "stand-up" meetings because they are quick enough to stand through.) And ask: "What's hot on your blog today?" "What's buzzing in your community?" "What are people talking about in your world?" NOT "Do we still have that centerpiece we saved from last week sitting around?" Sure, there will still be enterprise and projects (at least I hope so), but for the news, it should be reported immediately and updated constantly. These stand-up meeting will illustrate ideas for aggregating content, teaming two bloggers up, setting up a Twitter hashtag and creating ways to crowdsource and draw on reader comments.
24-hour news: The Internet is up 24/7, and for newspapers to be online-first, they need to be as well. This means staggered shifts, so some workers are starting very early; others are staying very late. Reporters and editors are updating constantly, so readers have the freshest information when they turn to the Web over their morning coffee and again at lunch and before they leave work. Journalists will have to work together to cover the news day, and everyone will have to pitch in. Follow each other on Twitter, so the health reporter can retweet the court reporter's tweets and vice versa.
Break down the walls: To me, for an online-first newsroom to work well or at all, the traditional walls between departments will have to come down. No features department. No city desk. No business desk. Perhaps editors who oversee these departments will still oversee those coverage area, but for newspapers to truly be online-first, they need everyone working together. There's no time for being territorial. The story should play where it makes sense for readers, even if that's not in the section that originated the story.
More writers: In an online-first newsroom, I envision more people writing than in a traditional newsroom. Editors and copy editors as well as reporters can blog or Twitter or create communities in a niche. The smaller the print publication gets, the fewer production folks you need. Put them to work connecting with readers and producing meaningful, crowdsourced content. Steve Outing at Editor & Publisher describe well what online-first journalists will do: produce longer pieces in a variety of formats, from text stories to multimedia; blog regularly; update constantly.
A different look on the Web: The Web site shouldn't look like an online newspaper; it should be organized along topics and give readers context about each topic. (News stories on that topic from a variety of sources, not just the newspaper; blogs and forums on related topics; resources such as links to state and federal Web sites or a program that tells readers where to get the cheapest gas that day.) Steve Yelvington says these topic pages are part of the media's town crier , town expert and town square functions.
A different look in print: To be online-first, the print product must look different. For one thing, readers won't notice a different unless the change is striking. I don't believe a newspaper can truly be online-first if they still thinking like a newspaper-first publications. So what would it look like? I envision a front page with a main enterprise piece or two, meaty updates with the latest (not yesterday's news) on the biggest stories and a series of prominent refers to the best of the Web. The features cover might become a main enterprise story and a bunch of well-written refers to blogs. Any section can publish crowdsourced stories culled from the Web. TwiTip, a blog about Twitter, has a great example. The blogger asked Twitter followers a questions and reported their answers verbatim on the blog. Reporters could do that on a variety of topics. Inside pages will feature enterprise, aggregation, refers to what's on the Web both on the newspaper site and on the wires. Multimedia applications such as video, audio, podcasts will be used when it makes sense to help readers understand an issue or to give them an option of how they find out the news.
Link, link, link: A foundation of an online-first newsroom is every part of the Web product makes it easy for readers to find what they need. If a blog post or story is an update on a developing story, link back to the earlier pieces. Link to what other blogs and news operations are saying about the topic. Link to definitions of technical or complicated words and documents or studies cited in the blog post or story. Embed related videos and audio. If you mention a Web site or blog, make it a link. If you mention a local park or attraction, link to its Web site. Our job is to help readers make sense of their world, so there's no excuse not to find the time to link. (Plus, this linking can help you index higher in Google.)
Search-engine optimization: Newspapers need to be thinking about this all the time as they become online first. Are the Web headlines SEO friendly, meaning do they contain the keywords people might type into a Google search to reach this story? Are headlines clear, so a computer can understand them and contain the full name of people, not just a last name? Do stories and blog posts have keywords in the first graph. Are stories and blog posts tagged with keywords to help them get found?
Next up: A typical day in an online-first newsroom.

ARAMARK delivers food, facility, and uniform services worldwide and has a large fleet of vehicles ranging from cars to delivery and service trucks. In 2011, the company deployed 78 hybrid electric vehicles in its ARAMARK Uniform Services (AUS) fleet. AUS also employs GPS devices and routing software to increase route efficiency, reduce travel time, and cut fuel use. ARAMARK is also achieving fuel savings through rightsizing, having deployed more than 200 Ford Transit Connect vans as efficient alternatives to larger vehicles. The company is testing vehicles that run on electricity and propane, and is converting some of its conventional vehicles to run on natural gas.
For additional information contact the Clean Cities National Clean Fleets Partnership account manager, Mark Smith.
Aug. 19, 2013
As part of Greater Philadelphia Clean Cities Initiative, 35 vehicles to be converted
PHILADELPHIA – ARAMARK, a global professional services company, along with several Philadelphia-area businesses and organizations, have been awarded a $492,000 Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection grant to convert dozens of vehicles to operate on clean-burning natural gas.
ARAMARK will use $99,000 of the award to convert nine route service vehicles to compressed natural gas (CNG). Other organizations, including Suburban Transit Network, Lower Providence Township, Sustainable Waste Solutions, Lower Merion School District, King Limousine, and Delaware Valley Concrete, will also convert vehicles through the grant for the Montgomery County NGV Conversion Initiative, a project of Greater Philadelphia Clean Cities. The project partners further plan to support a new CNG fueling facility in King of Prussia.
ARAMARK recently joined the National Clean Fleets Partnership, an initiative of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Clean Cities program. Through the partnership, ARAMARK will continue to explore and adopt alternative fuels and fuel economy measures to reduce petroleum use.

"We are honored to receive this grant and to be part of DOE's National Clean Fleets Partnership," said Vice President of Strategic Fleet Operations Kevin Fisher. "We continue to research and invest in alternative fuel vehicles, technologies, and programs to increase energy efficiency and reduce our carbon emissions. This partnership provides tools and resources to help us identify and evaluate cost-effective strategies to be more environmentally friendly."
Through the partnership, DOE helps industry leaders reduce diesel and gasoline use in their fleets and accelerate adoption of energy-efficient vehicles by incorporating electric vehicles, alternative fuels, and fuel-saving measures into their daily operations. DOE provides technical resources, current data, and expert analysis. The partnership also coordinates outreach and education about clean transportation strategies.
In 2011, ARAMARK deployed 78 hybrid electric vehicles in its ARAMARK Uniform Services (AUS) fleet, with assistance from a $2.7 million Maryland Clean Cities grant. AUS also put in place a route-optimization program, which used routing software and GPS devices to identify the most efficient and effective routes, saving time, vehicles use, and fuel.
Since then, ARAMARK has added more than 200 Ford Transit Connect vehicles to its fleet, which achieve nearly double the fuel economy of the larger, traditional vans they replaced. It is also working to reduce the overall carbon footprint of the fleet, testing propane-powered and electric vehicles, and converting vehicles to compressed natural gas. ARAMARK has also developed a total-cost-of-ownership approach to vehicle selection that allows its fleet managers to compare the lifetime cost of an alternative fuel vehicle to a traditional vehicle, and to take into account the vehicle's total environmental impact.
From November 2011 to April 2013, ARAMARK has increased overall mileage from 14.10 mpg to 14.46 mpg, and has decreased CO2 emissions by about 900,000 pounds. Fuel savings has increased by more than $700,000 and ARAMARK has reduced the average CO2 emissions per vehicle per month by 37 lbs.
DOE's Clean Cities program advances the nation's economic, environmental, and energy security by supporting local actions to cut petroleum use in transportation. A national network of nearly 100 Clean Cities coalitions brings together stakeholders in the public and private sectors to deploy alternative and renewable fuels, idle-reduction measures, fuel economy improvements, and emerging transportation technologies.

Vans Warped Tour: Go Backstage with Roadie Tony Skulls
It's 1995. The inaugural Warped Tour pulls into The Edge in Fort Lauderdale. And even after the band's van (along with its electric guitars, and other gear) gets jacked, Bradley Nowell and Eric Wilson of Sublime still decide to play an entirely acoustic set for a packed house. Meanwhile, a massive outdoor vert ramp launches hundreds of skaters onto a street course and later No Doubt, Sick of It All, and Orange 9mm rage too.Warped Roadies, Set Up Crew, Bus 4, (Tony Skulls far right)
Miami's Tony Skulls was at that first show as a skater kid. Now 19 years later, he's on the tour as a roadie. We hit him up for a backstage look at Warped Tour, the longest running concert festival tour in America.
New Times: Watsup, dude?
Tony Skulls: I got cut last night skating in the parking lot. I wasn't happy. I had to get 17 stitches on my shin. It's life on the road. Play hard and get hurt, that's for sure.
What's your job out there?
I'm setup. We meet at the trucks at 8 a.m. and we're done about 11 a.m. The doors open and the bands start fuckin' playin'.
You watch all the bands?
We have six to seven stages throughout the day and it's 90-degree weather in most of these states. So I don't hang outside too much. If we wanna check out a band, we go to the backstage area and chill.
How you like the music?
It's not like the bands that used to play, like Dropkick Murphys, U.S. Bombs, and Agnostic Front, but 3OH!3 is a pretty fuckin' cool set. And I keep hearing about Emily's Army. The drummer is Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day's son.
I did hear a rumor that next year on the 20th anniversary they're bringing some of the heavy old-school acts. I'll be stoked to see some of the bands I grew up listening to.

Hair Care
Major Causes of Oily Hair
Having trouble keeping the greasies at bay? Read on to find out some of the major causes of oily hair
Excessive use of styling products is one of the major causes of oily hair. When you apply multiple products to your scalp, they start to pile on top of each other, forming a waxy, oily buildup. In order to prevent this buildup from happening, you should reduce the amount of products you apply to your hair at any given time, and try to stay away from oil-based products. If you suffer from dry hair, it is okay to apply oils to the ends of your hair, but keep the product away from your scalp.
Hormones are another one of the major causes of oily hair. If you are a teenager or have just entered menopause, you may be experiencing an increased in androgens, a male hormone. These androgens are responsible for an increase in oil production on your skin and scalp, resulting in acne on your face and body along with oily hair. Doctors will typically prescribe progesterone to control the level of androgens, thus reducing the amount of oil that is produced.

On the evening of June 5th, I had the opportunity of presenting Janisset Rivero's book "Testigos de la noche" ("Witnesses of the Night") (Ultramar 2014). Casa Bacardi opened its doors so as to let us share this lady's work along with the poet Angel Cuadra. Rivero read entries from her wonderful book of poems. These are the words I wrote for the occasion:
Poetry books always bring me new hope. After time spent reading poetry that leaves me cold, there are poets who emerge to refresh my thoughts and point the way to understanding the mysteries of universal poetry.
Janisset Rivero has written a book that continues the narrow hereditary line of verse in Spanish, that line which unhealthy experimentations and abuses of the language have tried to erase by force. Simple versification, without needless displays and literary artifice, is perhaps the best decision, an expression of talent and the force of poetry macerated by eyes that see above the crudest reality.

Translate this page Financing current focus for new fire stationThursday, July 18th, 2013 Issue 29, Volume 17.
NCFPD deputy fire chief Ed Sprague addressed the districts board June 25, although the presentation was a discussion item rather than a voting action. "It was more of an information item to get direction from the board to staff," Sprague said. The board directed NCFPD staff to research funding options and return to the board with findings. The board was asked whether the district should seek the additional financing or delay the project until additional funds would be available. "The boards direction was to pursue opportunities or research opportunities for some additional financing," Sprague said. Station 5 is NCFPDs Bonsall fire station. It is currently located near Bonsall Elementary School, and the new station will be built near the intersection of State Route 76 and Olive Hill Road. The fire district had previously approved a design and construction management services contract with an architectural firm. School districts are exempt from local land use jurisdiction but fire districts, water districts, and other local government agencies are subject to the county process. The North County Fire Protection District began the permit process with the county in early 2010, when construction costs were lower due to economic conditions. "That was several years ago when we started the process," Sprague said. The permitting process took more than three years, and construction costs have increased during that time. "The cost of Station 5 Advertisement The architectural consultant provided an estimate of approximately $3.5 million, although that was based on construction beginning in 2010. "Its quite a bit higher," Sprague said. The fire district sent a request for proposals and received six bids which were opened June 19. The lowest base bid was $4,662,000 and the highest was $4,967,000. When optional items were added the bids ranged from $4,700,464 to $4,997,800. "Theyre all by reputable contractors," Sprague said of the bids. Sprague added that the small range between the lowest and highest bids also indicated that the district would likely be unable to build the fire station at a lower cost. "One of the key drivers right now is the cost of materials," Sprague said. The lack of a contact award June 25 does not force a new bidding process. "All of the bids from the contractors are good for 90 days," Sprague said. "You can exercise any one of them." The 90-day period from the bid opening date ends Sept. 17. The next NCFPD board meeting is scheduled for July 23. "We may not have all the answers in July," Sprague said. NCFPD staff will at least update the board at the July 23 meeting. The August 27 board meeting would be an additional opportunity for action items on financing and awarding the contract, and the board could also call a special meeting between Aug. 27 and Sept. 17. In addition to the construction costs, the district must also fund soils testing, professional services, and other expenses. 23 comments
I recall the fire department's ground breaking, for the new fire station, over a year ago. So, what happened since then? Don't build a fire station, or have any ground breaking ceremony, until you have the funding and are ready to do so! Almost $5,000,000 for a new fire house-WOW, that sure sounds excessive, unless the palace is lined with GOLD!
We know the county works at a snails pace. But three years seems excessive. You would think a public safety agency would have some pull with the county. Sounds to me like the Fire department was'nt in a big hurry to build.
This has been bugging the heck out of me since day 1. I did my homework on this and here is what I see happened. The Fire Department saved up money to build a fire station and yes they had to borrow some. They had all of their permits and held a grown breaking ceremony. The next week the County told them that there was a new permit process that they just developed. It had to do with the 76 realignment and the county tried to soak the Fire Department for new sidewalks on Olive Hill and repaving of the entire Olive Hill Road from 76 all the way to Shamrock Lane. Then the Pala Indian tribe tried to stop the process because a 50 square foot corner near AM/PM could of possibly been an "Indian Settlement" over two hundred years ago. This was proven negative after a $40,000 wasted study. Regarding the costs, I found out that these public buildings have different building codes and they need to last 50 plus years. They also have a lot of different codes and OSHA requirements which tacks on a couple hundred thousand of ridiculous fees. I say give them the digs, they take care of us pretty darn well. What we need to do is complain to Bill Horn and Ralph Steinhoff for holding this project up and costing extra money, shame on them.
Do THE PEOPLE get to vote on any of this directly? If not, why not?! Where is the TRUE democracy? Where?! When you DON'T have true democracy, THIS then is the result. Good luck!
Comment #4 is absolutely correct, that is exactly what happened. NCFPD had the funds in hand and the process completed when the county threw them a curve ball. A whole new round of bureaucratic nonsense that had to be studied and completed, when that was finally over the original cost was out the window and the price to build jacked up. @Lee. Last November an election was held (you may remember that) and 3 board members were all reelected by "the people" with a pretty good majority of votes. This IS true Democracy in action. If you have a complaint you can always attend a board meeting (4th Tuesday of the month, 5pm at FPUD) or call the board members individually, after all, they represent "us". It would be nice if you were to actually educate yourself on how our system works instead of parroting a broken record every time you speak. Not holding my breath though.
Lee, "Check it out" is correct. The fire department (in this case) are the experts in providing emergency services to this community. They are led and managed by a Fire Chief but governed by an elected board. The departments expertise comes form the Fire Chief and his department while the "flavor of the community" comes from the elected officials who represent us the citizens. You are more than welcome to go to any board meeting as they are open and their business is transparent. They take the opinions of the community seriously. That is why I like our Fire Department and don't wish to be part of any County Department that is governed and led by people that don't live here or have a stake in the community. Having worked many years ago in a water district way up north, i know how special districts work. The money they get from new construction can only go to "capital items" like new stations. Seeing that they are in rat, termite and mold infested trailers now shows me that past Fire Chiefs didn't care much but the new one does. Lets hope he can fight through the bureaucracy of the county.
@Lee - please re-read any of the comments made after all your "don't we get to vote" rants.
HAHA! New sidewalks on Olive Hill to Shamrock? There are exactly TWO properties w/dwellings on them between 76 and Shamrock! One property is unoccupied and the other has one to two ppl living on it, and they are NOT using sidewalks! Shamrock has seven properties w/dwellings and the county didn't provide one dime to pave it, but the county wants this portion of Olive Hill sidewalked? Sidewalks for who? The random ppl who drive their cars over to the nature preserve (Cal Trans has to buy as mitigation) to let their dogs run free and crap all over and NEVER pick it up? Maybe Cal Trans should have put the sidewalks in.
Folks, I want you to google "Oceanside fire station 7" and PLEASE tell me whether or not a SEVEN MILLION DOLLAR fire station is TRULY needed! PLEASE tell me! We all know which station this is: it's the one off the 76 across the street from the old drive-in theater. Folks, that's not a fire station; that's a DARN castle!!!! And it was completed in 2008 at the height of our economic crisis. So do you know what that tells us? Hmm? This tells us that our firefighters don't give ONE DARN RAT'S BEHIND about you and I and our economic worries! They care about one thing and one thing only: THEMSELVES AND THEIR WALLETS!!! Good luck to us all! www.jeffkatzarchitecture.com/?mtheme_portfolio=oceanside-fire-station-no-7
Clearly Lee has no idea of what he is talking about, he appears to just throw this particular comment out whenever he feels like it, without bothering to even try and explain how this "democracy" in his mind could even work. In my opinion he is just an attention seeker without the intestinal fortitude to even answer back when confronted. As someone said, "you can't use logic on people who aren't logical".
Isn't there already a station on Olive Hill Rd? Now there is going to be another one?
TIT FOR TAT Pink and Lee waste their time arguing back and forth, constantly, just like two little kids. How about commenting on the article? As for my opinion, ALL of the fire stations, which NCFPD has, need to be replaced, in particular, the station in Bonsall. The firefighters, who work there, reside in a "temporary" trailer station, and have for decades! This article is about building a new station, to replace this old one, referred to as Station 5. I support our local firefighters and know they deserve, and we as residents, also deserve a new, contemporary "permanent" fire house! Station 2 and Station 3 were remodeling, within the past 10 years and they resemble homes, instead of fire stations. Both are temporary fixes. I support the fire board, who represent all of us, and hope they will have a positive influence in resolving this matter, and getting this fire station built. It will be a move, in the right direction for future improvements, for public safety, in our communities (Fallbrook, Bonsall and Rainbow).
@Comment #13: I too support the fire board. I know most of them personally and voted for the 3 incumbents, and I trust them to do the best job they can as my representatives. I don't argue with Lee, that is an impossibility, you can't argue with people who throw out nonsensical comments and then refuse to answer back when confronted.
They had a ground breaking a year ago and they just figured out they don't have enough money to build the station? Hahaha...yep, that sounds like North County Fire.
clearly the district has all the money in the world they saw fit to send the Chief of NCF to the fancy memorial service in Arizona for the lost 19 firemen did we really need a person from Fallbrook to represent us there. This show of solidarity does not come free...we had to pay for his little reunion with other chiefs. and the 20 different drum and pipe groups to play music...come on what a waste of money...Give the money spent to the families of the lost firefighters instead if we have so much to waste....
@flbkboy: Chief Metcalf attended the memorial in Arizona representing the IAFC (International Association of Fire Chiefs) an organization that he has the honor to be president of, and that by the way, is a great honor for Fallbrook as well. He attended on their dime, not ours. It would be so nice if people were to get their facts straight before opening their mouths and inserting one foot. Also, just FYI, the fire department is a brotherhood and sisterhood. They have always had, and hopefully, always will have, memorials for fallen comrads. That is a tradition to be proud of. The boot was passed for the families of the victims as well. How very sad that flbkboy doesn't belong to an association that cares about him and his loved ones, it might help his disposition. @Tom: Please read the other comments. NCFPD had the money raised to pay for the new station, however the county screwed them over, and after a year the cost to build went up.... get it?
I work with the County and it sounds like they had a ground breaking before they were done with the permit process. Bad planning.
Right Mike. They believed that they were through with the permit process, but the county, being what they are, decided they needed to have yet another permit. That is the counties way of doing unscrupulous business and getting away with charging more fees.
I AM SICK OF THE COUNTY-We'd be better to incorporate! and do away with all of the county's garbage
Chief Metcalf - thank you for representing Fallbrook; to others - sure our tax money goes to support/pay for the fire department, including their new station. Rather it go there than to Obama-phones; free benefits for illegals, snap cards for strip clubs. Next time the fires rage through we will be grateful for the Chief and his guys and gals,
@Really: you don't have a ground breaking until your ready to break ground...get it?
My dispositon does not need help as much as my over burdened tax bill. Who pays the dues to belong to (International Association of Fire Chiefs) who pays travel expenses for him to have this great honor position. I am tired of Huge events of this kind being a circus of expense so the brotherhood and sisterhood feel good about each other. I am not proud of the tradition of 1000s and 1000s of Tax Dollars being spent for Long long lines of Police from all over the state can waste time and money to be in a long parade, what a waste, does the family expect that nowadays? How many other small departments had to send reps to Arizona to be a part of the spot light?. I am very proud of the 19 Firemen who bravely gave their lives in the line of doing their duty. And all the others that worked so hard.
@Tom: Aren't you being just a little bit silly? Lots of people hold a ground breaking before they are actually ready to bring in the bull dozers. NCFPD evidently believed that they were ready to start building when the county arbitrarily decided to throw a other useless permit into the process. Probably an endangered toad stool.

Standing on the Side of Love with Coalition of Immokalee Workers
Nearly a thousand people from across the Northeast gathered on Sunday, February 27th, despite the snow and cold, for a joyous, two-mile march through downtown Boston to demand that Stop & Shop work with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. CIW wants Ahold USA, the company that owns Stop & Shop, to do its part to improve wages and working conditions in Florida's tomato fields.
The call was for Stop & Shop, to join with Whole Foods, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and other food industry leaders by signing on to the Fair Food Code of Conduct and to pay an additional penny per pound for tomatoes. If the supermarket industry fails to pay into the penny-per-pound program and refuses to condition its purchases on the Fair Food principles recently agreed to by CIW and the Florida Tomato Growers Exchange, the gains made thus far will be undermined.
UUs voted at our 2008 General Assembly to support CIW's Fair Food Campaign. A group from First Parish Cambridge UU, Community Church Boston UU, and the Harvard UU Ministry Students came together with Standing on the Side of Love placards and signs in support of the campaign at the march and rally.
In the weeks leading up to the march, CIW leaders visited area congregations and met with the UU Ministry for Earth (UUMFE) board on the day before the march. UUMFE is interested in making connections with CIW as part of their environmental justice work and the UUA's Congregational Study Action Issue on Ethical Eating. Romeo Ramirez, who has been a CIW leader for 11 years, and who was awarded the 2003 Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Human Rights award for his work undercover to investigate a slavery operation involving more than 700 workers in the Florida citrus fields, met with the UUMFE board and groups from area congregations.
Susan Leslie, UUA Congregational Advocacy & Witness Director, represented the UUA at the rally, and joined other faith leaders in reading a statement from interfaith leaders to Ahold. She said, "Unitarian Universalists are standing on the side of love with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers—with farm workers. Those who perform the backbreaking labor of harvesting tomatoes have historically been among the poorest paid and most-abused workers in America. In recent decades, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers has organized Florida farm workers in a successful campaign to secure safer working conditions and higher rates of pay. The success of this campaign depends on the willing participation of companies who purchase the lion's share of tomatoes from the Florida fields."
So far, Stop & Shop has refused to come to the table, but CIW says that this action "laid the groundwork for many more actions in the future, until Stop & Shop hears the call of its consumers and meets the ethical purchasing standards established by farm workers in Immokalee, taken up by leading food retailers, and implemented by virtually the entire Florida tomato industry."
To support CIW, see the Campaign for Fair Food and the interfaith clergy sign on.
One Response to "Standing on the Side of Love with Coalition of Immokalee Workers"
Thanks for writing about this, Susan! It was a cold day but worth it. I was so GLAD to see our First Parish folks there.

Handkerchiefs & Pocket Squares
Adding a folded handkerchief into the breast pocket of a jacket can change an outfit from great to brilliant. We divided our selection of handkerchiefs into two groups: Solid color handkerchiefs and patterned handkerchiefs. Click below to see the entire collection.
Matching Handkerchief to Suit, Shirt, and Tie
When matching a handkerchief to an outfit one should think about how formal of a look he wants to portray. For black tie attire the classic white pocket square is the only choice. A touch less formal, are solid color pocket squares that are neatly folded and are in the same color as the necktie or bowtie. Least formal are patterned pocket squares that are in different color than the tie. For such pocket squares a less-formal type of fold, such as the "Puff-Fold" is recommended. In addition, think about how to combine different patterns on different clothing items into one outfit. The key here is to have patterns that vary in size and style. Wearing patterns that are too similar in style and size will be irritating to the eye.
Dress Code for Hankies?
There is no real dress code when wearing a handkerchief. They are a perfect fashion accessory that help add a more personal, as well as a more sophisticated touch to any suit and tie. Only black tie functions as well as White Tie events require a solid white pocket square.
Different Ways to Fold a Handkerchief
There are dozens of ways to fold a hanky. To learn the most popular styles we invite you to visit our tutorial on How to Fold a Handkerchief

This was the juciest, most flavorful ham I've ever made - or tasted! Followed the recipe exactly. My ham was a bit smaller than called for, but didn't cut down on the glaze amounts at all. Fantastic!
This was a seriously delicious Easter ham. Will make it again. Exactly as written.
I made this glaze for our Easter Sunday ham. It was delicious and beautiful. I had a lot of compliment from our guests today. I would definitely recommend this, follow the super easy recipe.
Made this last year for Easter- it was awesome! Thus, I am making it again this year! And Squidney- yes, you are supposed to buy a pre-cooked ham.
Hi! I have a question...are you suppose to get a ham that is precooked? This will be my first time cooking a ham.
I poured apple cider into my pan and covered the entire ham with aluminum foil, 9 pounds for an hour, doubled the glaze took some of the apple cider, as it got a little to think to spread for me. Skipped the butter but used the thyme. Other than that followed the recipe and it turned out perfectly! I used a spiral ham (more by accident but for change a good accident). Best ham I have made and top 5 I have eaten. Really loved it
I loved this glaze so much! We used it for our Easter ham and everyone loved it. A nice light hint of honey and thyme rather than the heavy sticky tasting ones you buy from the store. I would love to try this on a roasted chicken or turkey in the future.
I would make this again in a heartbeat. So easy and just enough "sweet" to compliment the already sweet meat of the ham. Easy, but seems "gourmet". Made this for Easter dinner, using a 12 lb. bone in ham from our local butcher. All of the "pickys" in my family raved, and my husband, who loves ham in any fashion, even the worst ham ever, couldn't stop eating it, long after we got home from supper.

I've heard that before that we are one of the only kinds of animal who cannot make our own vitamin C. I've never looked up the details of it though. I guess it makes sense that animals like cats and thing would have to be able to make vitamin C from glucose, since they don't eat all that many vegetables, and in fact doing so would make them sick. But, I wonder why primates can't do it. It seems like a strange thing to lose during evolution.
I guess since they theorize we lived on fruit for a long time, there was no need to make our own vitamin C.
Actually, one of the reasons we even know vitamin C exists is from tests on guinea pigs, who are also unable to make it themselves.

Mummification has been used for preservation purposes for thousands of years, and now Loop Attachment is taking the concept high tech with the creation of its Mummy cases for iPhones. The uniquely designed, impact resistant silicone case wraps the iPhone in a protective embrace to deter dents, scratches or cracks without hiding the logos and original aesthetic of the phone.
As much about function as form, the Mummy case serves dual purposes. The bands of the case that wrap across the back of the phone can easily be lifted to tuck a credit card under for safe storage. Ideal for tiny clutches that will not fit the weekday wallet on date night or girl's night out, the Mummy case features a slim profile, lightweight design and easy to grip texture. The Mummy case can also easily be slipped into men's pants pockets and its smooth finish will prevent any lint from adhering to the case.
Available in ten colors, the Mummy case can be purchased as a bundled package of three cases in varying colors. Pre-mixed color bundles are tinged with humor ranging from a red, white and powder blue "Chicago" bundle to a magenta, purple and white "Good n Plenty" bundle, or the "Hulk" featuring purple, neon green and black. A bundle can also be customized with a personal choice of colors, and the cases can easily be switched out to match an iPhone to a mood or an outfit.
Show that special someone in your life this Valentines day that you are "wrapped up in their love" and get them a mummy case set.
The Mummy case has an MSRP of $25, and Bundles are priced at $60 a set. The Mummy case is available for iPhone 4/4s and 5/5s. For more information, visit: www.loopattachment.com.

As most residents know, NYC is a great place to have a family and raise kids. This may come as a surprise to some outsiders, but it truly is. Even though when you raise your family in the City instead of a suburb you give up some things, you actually don't give up that much. And what you and your children gain can far outweigh what is missing.
What you don't give up raising kids in NYC
One of the first things people talk about when choosing where to raise their kids is education. NYC has some terrific public, private and charter schools where children learn from some of the best teachers in the country. And one of the reasons why there are so many great schools is because there are so many other kids in NYC. So it's not like your children will be growing up in a world of adults. They'll have plenty of fiends, and better yet, most likely it will be a culturally diverse group of friends so they will be exposed to many things they may not otherwise have been.
Just like other communities, NYC has things to do for children of all ages, and for families of all make ups. There's not just nightlife for people over 21 in the City. There are festivals, arts and craft events and learning opportunities pretty much everyday of the week. Just do a quick search on the Internet and your sure to find something to do that's perfect for your family.
What you gain by raising kids in NYC
You and your family gain everything! Everything is right out your front door. Something educational to do on the weekend? Sure - NYC is full of museums, libraries, theaters and more. Without even trying your family may be healthier by staying in the City. That's because most of the time you'll be walking to your destination, and even when you need to take a subway or bus somewhere, there will be at least a little walking involved.
For parents there are some great things about raising kids in NYC. First off, you get to share NYC with your kids throughout their youth, showing them all the great places and bringing them to all the great events that made you fall in love with the City. When they hit their mid teens, you don't have to teach them to drive the minute they get their learner's permit as they will be using public transportation for a few more years (at the very least). What could be the best benefit for parents is your kids don't have to go far for post secondary education or jobs, as NYC is home to an abundance of both of them. Now they may want to go somewhere else, but with so many options in their hometown they may just stay nearby.
For kids there are some perks that they'll love. Some chores that you'd need to assign them in the suburbs if you owned a home just don't exist here in your apartment - shoveling snow and raking leaves are just two of them. And ask any kid who is doing those chores and they'll say they would give anything to not have to do them.
When you're deciding whether or not to raise your family in NYC, you want to take in all the information that you can. But realize that there are a tremendous amount of advantages to having your kids grow up in the city that you truly love.

3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: Nov. 16
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. Six ways to prepare for Small Business Saturday. Are you prepared to take advantage of this year's Small Business Saturday, set for Nov. 24? An article in BusinessNewsDaily offers insurance-themed suggestions from Travelers (TRV - Get Report) on how to best ensure small businesses get the most out of the day. Here are a few:
Ensure that proper inventory hits your shelves and anticipate potential problems to supply chains or business interruption.
The holiday season means increased sales and seasonal workers. Make sure all workers are adequately covered in case of liability issues such as if they're driving company-owned vehicles or handle sensitive materials, the article says.
Protect your merchandise. "It's critical that business owners know their inventory levels throughout the year, but especially so during the holidays, when it's likely that more stock is needed in order to meet sales demands. Savvy business owners recognize that they need to insure their inventory based on peak levels, not on a standard or average," the article says. 2. More small businesses are planning to award employee bonuses this holiday season. According to the 2012 American Express (AXP - Get Report) OPEN Small Business Holiday Monitor, 35% (up from 29% last year) will be giving staff end-of-year bonuses, with a quarter of those respondents giving larger bonuses compared to last year. On average, employees can expect to receive a 9% bonus this year, the survey found. Among other findings, about 40% say they will be throwing a holiday party, up from 35% last year, while 57% say they will be donating to charity this holiday season. Despite the current economic climate, 51% of small-business owners will be giving their clients/customers gifts this holiday season, up from 43% last year, with the average budget for these holiday gifts up 16% to $958, the survey says. The survey was conducted via phone from Oct. 11-25 to a random sample of 501 small-business owners or managers of companies with fewer than 100 employees. 3. Keep your employees happy and promote "intrapreneurship." How can a Gen Y founder keep his or her Gen Y and Gen X talent happy and trust that they won't leave to work at a bigger company? Under30CEO cites 14 suggestions from the Young Entrepreneur Council, a nonprofit organization comprised of the world's most promising young entrepreneurs, such as allowing for flexible schedules all the time so long as deadlines are met. Some companies are allowing for a culture of "sidepreneurship," where employees are allowed to have ventures they run on the side. Others are emphasizing innovation within the company. There are other ways to keep young employees satisfied too, such as keeping the line of communication open about how they're doing both personally and professionally. "I want to make the partnership work long-term, so I'm comfortable with expanding or contracting their hours to make everything fit," says Elizabeth Saunders of Real Life E. -- Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York.

Michael Kwan / Saturday, August 13, 2011, 9:39 am / 2 CommentsWell, that's mildly passive aggressive of Steve Jobs, don't you think?

5 Tips for Traveling with Kids
30 Jul, 2013
Some of a kid's best memories happen on family vacations. But for parents, traveling with children can be extra stressful. Here are five tips to make your family vacation easier:
1. Pack smart: If you are flying with kids, most airlines will check a car seat for free (we recommend calling to check your airline's policies). Use the extra space in your car seat travel bag to pack diapers, jackets and other soft items.
2. Stock up on snacks: You know kids will get grumpy and tired if they're hungry. Pack snacks that you can tote around, like granola bars, dried fruit and nuts. If you're staying at The Beverly Garland, stop by Bev's Boutique to grab cold beverages and other treats.
3. Bring wet wipes: Traveling with kids can be a messy affair, and if you're taking planes, trains or other public transportation, you'll be glad to have wet wipes. Hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes—especially in the little travel packages—are also lifesavers for moms and dads.
4. Fly with less stress: If you're traveling with an infant, feed them right at takeoff and landing. This will not only help distract them from the air pressure change, but they'll likely fall asleep for the rest of the flight after her bottle. For older kids, chewing gum helps pop their ears. If you can't fly during their naptime, keep the kids entertained on the flight with puzzle books, a new iPad app or a DVD/streaming movie.
5. Choose a Kid-Friendly Hotel: At The Beverly Garland, we not only offer fun activities for the whole family (like our Dive-In Movies), but we also offer KidSuites perfect for the whole gang.
We look forward to seeing you and your whole happy family in Los Angeles soon!

Inspired by an extraordinary true story.
It's the summer of 1984, Margaret Thatcher is in power and the National Union of Mineworkers is on strike, prompting a London-based group of gay and lesbian activists to raise money to support the strikers' families. Initially rebuffed by the Union, the group identifies a tiny mining village in Wales and sets off to make their donation in person. As the strike drags on, the two groups discover that standing together makes for the strongest union of all.

"The kind of hearty, blunt-force drama with softened edges that leaves audiences applauding and teary-eyed." – Stephen Holden

"It's a joyous film, full of love and warmth but unafraid to admit that with sticking out your neck comes struggle and sorrow." – Dave Calhoun

Welcome to my web site! I've assembled a full array of information and merchandise for fans, listeners, musicians, dulcimer players and autoharpists alike. I hope you enjoy browsing these pages as much as I've enjoyed creating them. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your visit. And come back often. More information will be added periodically. I've been performing on the dulcimer since 1978, and added diatonic autoharp in 1990. Check out where I'm playing next, and preview a concert program. Church music is a specialty, too; in addition to prelude and offertory music, I improvise to hymns played on the organ while the congregation sings. Need music for a special occasion? See the selected list of solo repertoire, which is great for weddings, parties, department-store promotional events, and the like. For dulcimer and autoharp players (and anyone else who's interested), I discuss a topic of musical interest in Thoughts of Note. This page will change its subject matter from time to time, so be sure to visit it often, or even bookmark it. For the shopper in you, there are two sales areas (hmmm, a virtual mall!). First, visit The Marketplace, where you can buy listening-for-pleasure goodies and great instructional materials. Be sure to check out The Hall Closet for the occasional instrument or factory-second bargain. As the only dulcimer accompanist of choirs in the state of Colorado, and one of a handful nationally, I'm eager to stay in touch with choral conductors as well as other dulcimer accompanists around the country. (If you're a dulcimer accompanist, please fill out the form so I can make this information available to choral conductors in or near your area as they have need.) Visit my choral music page, and be sure to check out my article in the September 2002 issue of The Choral Journal. Got a tune or song you've composed but don't know how to write down? With the help of my very picky ear (no pun intended), I can transcribe them for you.
Don't see what you're looking for? Got a problem getting around this site? Something else dulcimer or autoharp related? Enjoy your visit!
Thank you for being visitor number today!

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) -- The City of Wilmington got input today on the Port City's moveable feasts.
Food truck owners want changes to the city's code regulating them, but some downtown restaurant owners are not happy about the possible changes that could mean more competition.
During a meeting at city hall, Food truck and restaurant owners split off into groups to discuss issues, including where food trucks can operate and if trucks and carts should be treated differently.
One restaurant owner wants to come to a happy medium. He says he is all for competition, but fair competition when considering the area the trucks can park.
"It needs to be extended, but not indefinitely so that they can't go to one spot all the time, or have it where there is one spot that they can go to downtown all the time that would be away from all of the other restaurants," Slice of Life owner Ray Worrell said.
James Smith owns the Patty Wagon. He hopes to see food trucks set up in non-residential districts as long as they are 50 feet from the main entrance of the nearest open restaurant.
"The majority of my business is after 2 (a.m.), and there's only maybe two other restaurants serving food that late, and I don't think I'm stealing from them," Smith said. "My customers come to me for a reason."
Some food truck customers say they think it would be a good idea to have more food trucks downtown.
"I definitely prefer the food trucks," customer Ben Boyatti said. "That would be an awesome bonus, because you either get pizza or what else is there?"
"The food here, the BBQ is fantastic," Robbie Walker said while grabbing lunch from the Poor Piggy food truck. "That's what it boils down to. If there was another place downtown where you could get bbq like this, we might would go down there."
The Wilmington Planning Commission will hold a public hearing June 5 on the food truck rules. City Council will take up the debate July 9.
