Resource Management Plans (RMPs) for Western Oregon
- The Future of Oregon Forestry
The BLM reaches out to local communities to help usher in a future of forestry that balances social, economic, and ecological values
"The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is in the process of revising the Resource Management Plans (RMP) for western Oregon. These 2.5 million acres have an important role to the social, economic, and ecological well being of western Oregon, as well as to the greater American public. Recognizing this importance, your engagement is important to us. Thus, we are striving for a whole different approach of engaging the public through outreach and community collaboration. We want to engage you in ways that are in your best interest and communicate where we're heading based on science, public inputs, regulations, and guidance.
There are a lot of important and complex issues that need to be addressed during this revision process. Needless to say there are also very diverse and strong opinions on how these lands should be managed in the future. In an effort to try to change the dialogue, besides changing how we engage the public, I want to focus our discussions around outcomes, not outputs. We realize we can't do this alone. Nor does the BLM have the sole 'solution.' Rather, we want to work together, across the board, to explore those solutions. Please join us in this exciting process of developing the RMPs for western Oregon to manage public lands for present and future generations."
— Jerome E. Perez, BLM State Director, Oregon/Washington
The Resource Management Plans (RMP) for Western Oregon will determine how the BLM-administered lands in western Oregon will be managed to further the recovery of threatened and endangered species, to provide for clean water, to restore fire-adapted ecosystems, to produce a sustained yield of timber products, to coordinate management of lands surrounding the Coquille Forest with the Coquille Tribe, and to provide for recreation opportunities.
There are approximately 2.5 million acres in western Oregon that are part of the BLM-administered public lands included in the RMPs for Western Oregon. These lands provide forest products, fish and wildlife habitat, and countless recreation opportunities. Unlike national forests, BLM western Oregon public lands are generally not large contiguous blocks. A "checkerboard" pattern of public land is what makes up the federal lands.
Why is the BLM engaging in this effort? Emerging environmental, economic, and social impacts are making the last plans unable to meet the needs of people, plants, and wildlife that depend on these public lands.
 Following is a tentative timeline for the RMPs for Western Oregon planning process:

TROY, NY – To say Mike Sislo had a productive weekend would be an understatement. The Devils winger led all scorers with four goals in three games. To help put things in perspective, the AHL's Player of the Week, St. John's center John Albert, had five goals in four contests.
Whether or not he could have matched Albert's four-in-five, Sislo played a big part in Albany's weekend sweep and move up to fifth in the Eastern Conference. He registered a pair of goals, including a shorthanded, game-winning tally, Friday at Adirondack. He followed with a power-play goal Saturday against Norfolk and a goal Sunday against Utica.
"I felt that I can help the team that way and I need to help the team that way," Sislo said about his contributions. "Obviously sometimes there are things you can't control, but I thought it was good to be able to get some specialty team points and just help the team have success."
With 22 games still remaining, Sislo has already accumulated a career-high 17 goals and 30 points in 43 games. As Head Coach Rick Kowalsky points out, Sislo provides much more than just statistics on the scoresheet and could be key towards a Calder Cup Playoff run.
"If he gets hot it could be a big big bonus for us," Kowalsky said after Wednesday's practice at Knickerbacker Ice Arena. "He kills penalties, he's on the power play, he's out there for important faceoffs on both ends of the ice. He's going to be a key guy for us moving forward and is certainly a good sign to see him get on the board and score some goals, especially the way he did."
Now in his third year, Sislo's game continues to develop and he has been rewarded for his progress. At the beginning of the season, he was named an assistant captain and on Jan. 3 he made his NHL debut.
"I think the recall to New Jersey was certainly a big boost in his confidence," Kowalsky said. "He's a guy that consistently does the little things right and now some pucks are starting to go in.
"Blocking shots, getting pucks in, that stuff has to be consistent and is. That's why he has a letter. Just the way he carries himself everyday in practice and games is the main reason we did it. But now, you see him step up in big games and that's the true sign of leadership."
In 166 career games, Sislo has registered 83 points, backed by 39 goals and 44 assists. His 30 points this season currently rank tied for second on the team.

Ancestors of Scott F. EricksonUpdated September 5, 2000 | |
My family tree includes the following branches from my four grandparents: 1) Anderson/Rickenbach (from Sweden and Switzerland); 2) Madsen/Sorensen (from Denmark); 3) Sevy/Spencer (from Colonial U.S. and England); and 4) Erickson/Jones (from Norway and Wales). My family's most recent place of origin is south-central Utah (Monroe/Richfield). I have had the most success finding information from my maternal grandmother's branch (#3 above; I have information back to the Middle Ages!) but am always interested in learning more. I am particularly interested in the other branches, some of which are blank beyond the 1800's. I have recently focused on doing research in the 1801 Norway census (line #4) and in the Danish emigration archives (line #2). This home page includes a report for each of the four branches listed above. Any new information would be appreciated. I am also willing to share the information that I have. |

Look at the dateline – Nairobi. Says it all: rumours from a distinctly South Sudan perspective.
Neither Sudan nor South Sudan will tip back into full-scale conflict.
But here's some key detail that "Nairobi" has missed out because it doesn't suit the banal narrative of "Bad, bad Khartoum bearing down on the whiter-than-white South Sudan":
The fact that Yida, the so-called 'refugee camp', has been erected by Samaritan's Purse so close to the conflict zone – in clear contravention of international humanitarian good practice - says it all. Yes, Yida does house Nuba women and children; however, most of them are spouses, offspring, and other relatives of SPLA-N rebels (the fact that many of them have refused to move gives that game away somewhat), who have foolishly put them into the danger zone deliberately, and who continue to use the camp for rest and relaxation – a revolving door if you will - before returning to the Nuba mountains to continue their pointless war.
In other words, Yida is clearly both politicised and militarised, with men lurking with guns and rifles (they're too media savvy to be seen in any international media pic) – as anybody who has been there will attest.
Lastly, time will tell – but the murmur on the street here in Sudan now is that it was the air force of South Sudan, not Sudan, that bombed Yida: Unity State is currently the site of fierce activity by the southern rebel South Sudan Liberation Army/South Sudan Defence Force; 'Juba' is, as usual, more concerned with peddling the 'virtual' picture of Sudan to the US gallery rather than doing what's required to make sustainable peace with its northern neighbor: stop providing logistical, military, financial and political support to the SPLA in S Kord and Blue Nile states, as the USG warned Juba publicly a few days ago: i.e. welcome to the 'real Sudan' fellow Econ readers!!
I Adam
To me it feels as if there is always the overwhelming risk of war in places in Africa like Sudan. The instability of the region simply makes it completely unpredictable as to what could happen. Because of this violence can easily be achieved especially when people become inspired through stories of success in places like Libya. The only solution that I can think of is that the government needs to step in and simply be the more rational person. This means that the government of Sudan must realize that war should not be the first answer as harsh as the conditions may be. However, I must say it is extremely unfortunate that the Sudanese people are suffering wars because of the oil they could care less about.
When the Sudanese goes after each other throats, that is why the arms carpet-baggers will make their fortunes. The Africans should be ready for the un-invited Great Game for Africa especially they have so much natural resources.
Sudan's always been an unstable region and that won't change anytime soon. With everything that's going on, civil war is likely, and then we're going to probably watch itself tear apart with another unstable outcome. A sad, but most likely true reality we shouldn't embrace. People die while those who can do something, do nothing. selfless benevolence, where did it go?
Just as North Korea invaded South Korea early into the cold war, it is a proven strategy that when one has the means and infrastructure to occupy a newly sovereign state, it is inevitable. South Sudan does not yet have the resources to defend against an invading country, and in a war-torn region nearby allies are hardly reliable. Bashir's forces are experienced, structurally sound, and numerous enough to pose a serious threat. Similar to North Korea's strategy in the Korean war, Sudan can project their power upon South Sudan and be successful. If war is to be avoided, intervention may be the only viable option. I doubt Sudan will agree to peace agreements when all of the cards are in their favor.
I actually think south sudan is in a better position to defend her borders that at any other time during the past 22 years, and the cards lie with S. Sudan, not the north. There's a big difference between running an armed resistance/ guerrila war, and defending a country. The main one being that with sovereignty comes the ability to purchase arms on the open market, to go to the courts of arbitration, to go to the UN or AU etc. But it will be long and bloody and few have the stomach for this
Africa is ripe for Gaming. More and more people have to die in the ego-strategic struggles to control resources like the oil in Sudan.
Omar al-Bashir and Salva Kiir need to be strong enough leaders to prevent their countries from going to war against one another. There will always be groups that disagree between the two, but to prevent more fatalities in the African regions, they must coexist. The fact that these regions hold vast amounts of oil does not help the situation, with the large amounts of income coming in to a few people. Northern Sudan being known as a genocidal setting because of their generals definitely puts a dent in relations as well.
I couldn't say that I would expected anything different. Being diminished of a massive amount of your country's landmass is sure to invoke feelings of resentment and actions of atrocity toward the newly independent South Sudan. It's obvious, territorial control has been and will always be an issue that can lead to fatalistic actions. Mr. Bashir is no stranger to monarchy and as long as he is in a position to give orders, there will continue to be lives a stake because of his vengeful shortcomings. South Sudan has only recently acquired its independence, so I expect tension between the two "neighbors" for at least a decade or two. Ironically, the absence of Mr. Bashir in an authoritarian position could certainly hasten the process of regional tolerance between the two states.
I think the only way to ensure peace between Sudan and South Sudan is to get rid of the past: Sudan needs a new government in charge. You are going to have a little bit of violence everywhere from extremists, but Sudan has a lot of corrupt officials still in power including President al-Bashir who is responsible for for the violence against Darfur. A new government that may not necessarily like or dislike South Sudan, but accepts them and respects its country needs to be put in place to ensure another major war does not break out in the already very hot region.
Truly praying for no outbreak of a full-blown war. This area, especially near the Ugandan border, is already full of children who have lost their parents and whole families to civil and guerrilla warfare. The last thing South Sudan needs is a war with Sudan.
I hope the West has some compassion and intervenes diplomatically is thihgs get worse. I do wish John Garang was still with us.
I am currently in Juba, and have lived in South Sudan since 2009. (I am South Sudanese)
It's a bit inflammatory to suggest imminent return to war. There have definitely been increasingly aggressive incursions into south sudan, and this is not the first time accusations are levied on the north with regards to supporting/funding militias. I believe, we, as south Sudanese were not expecting a peaceful divorce, but were hoping that as we are now part of the international community- these issues will be addressed/resolved in the international arena, and not through a return to conflict. No one in this country has the stomach for another full blown war.
I also don't think pendergrast is a credible voice with regards to the south sudan context (or Darfur come to think of it).
Lastly, with regards to the internal conflicts… there are many unresolved issues from the war (internally, within the movement, as well as without), there are issues of political and socio-economic equity, and there are the historical ethnic hostilities exacerbated by the ubiquitous AK47s.
I feel that the media often fails to distinguish between these whereas it is important to do so… ethnic conflict will take many years to resolve- and as someone mentioned, establishing a national identity is a long process.
The political issues... some of these are the result of the past 6 years and speak to leadership style and accountability, whereas others are unresolved issues from the protracted war. These last two are what, in my opinion, have potential to destabilize the g.o.s.s. And I wish there were a better analysis/discussion of this, rather than using blanket terms
I think Keving9 hit it head on. The problem here is that tension is inevitable. No matter how you cut it, people never like the idea of drawing borders and/or altering current borders. It will cause change of tradition among the people, which they will naturally resist. In Sudan, people belong to their respective tribes. This border creates conflict between these tribes, which leads to further confrontation.
Lots of pacifists here....
I feel like Africa is in a place where Europe was 500 years ago. Many different ethnic/ linguistic groups... artificial borders where countries are defined by loyalty to the ruler, not by common history...
What will happen is 300 years of wars until clear nation states emerge....
Sorry to say that, but just look at Belgium... wealthy, urban, well educated... and SUCH A MESS... just because of two ethnic groups inside of it...
Artificial post colonial borders must be changed... one way ore another
Sudan is probably the richest region in the whole of Africa. Unfortunately the Sudanese people are suffering because of Oil geo-politics which have resulted in wars, disease, starvation and some may call it more directly - genocides. Who is the real puppet-master behind this atrocity and an affront to humanity? I will leave it to your own imagination.
I am a bit dense. Give me a hint of who the devil is here.
Bashir has fulfilled his promise to let go of South Sudan. Yet foreign elements are zooming in seeking to drive a bigger wedge between the separated brethen. The Devil could be the oil companies.
In some recent reports, the CIA and Africom have designated the Sudan area as the Great Games for Africa. It would be very sad as ordinary Sudanese are mere pawns in various geo-strategic interests.
They are at war already, the northerners are arming tribes in the south and exterminating the nubans, while the dinka are trying to rule the south like they were ruled by the north.
The rainy season is all that has kept the worst at bay, now that's over there is going to be at least 250K refugees or internally displaced people on the border
Oil, Oil & Oil politics again. Foreign forces like the Africom like to put fire into the oil cauldron to seize control the precious resources from the eager combatants.
1. Sudan has been a land of strife since time immemorial and there is no doubt what has been would continue to be. If the west thought that liberation of South was an act of sudden benevolence then they are sadly mistaken for it was a gross necessity, a perpetually festering scar and now having done the needful, the ilk of Bashir have a convinent expedient to channelise their personal trouble.
2. Similarly, if South sudan thought that having been liberated from the grasp of radicalised north, they would usher in an era of peace , then the realites of past few months have indubitably awaken them to the grind of regional politcs.
3. The question therefore remains is the extent of impunity dictators of North Sudan shall enjoy before global ire befalls upon them. This has always been the destiny of timorus regimes gloablly and now the question is not who shall be blighted but when.
This is so sad, it seems that this part of the world has seen nothing but war for so many years.. Let's all pray for peace in Africa.
The tensions between Sudan and south Sudan will never dissappear unless either of the two countries take military matters to remove one another from the equation. Even though America has told south Sudan not to take Sudan's bait for all out war, I feel that the united states might have to step in sooner or later since the country is tearing itself apart. I don't believe that talks of negotiation will be possible at that point since bashar is not viewed highly amongst the people.

Presidential Preachment: Campaigns Commandeer Pulpits For Partisan Purposes
Today is Super Tuesday. Naturally, the presidential candidates want to scare up every vote they can. As part of that effort, some of them spent the weekend appearing in churches.
During this election season, Americans United for Separation of Church and State has repeatedly expressed concern about church-based politicking. While we've focused most of our efforts on educating houses of worship, campaign officials have a role to play as well. Candidates and their staff members should not ask houses of worship to engage in possibly illegal activities. Read more

For those interested in buying the app for the first time, it's an universal app and available for $7.99 The problem with the iPhone today is that is has become the hub of all decision making. Starting with Urbanspoon and with Yelp, and even OpenTable, we rely on apps to guide us to where we want to go. None of these apps have any sort of human touch though. Apps like Yelp and Urbanspoon just jumble up all the places in the area and then rank them based on user ratings. You might be looking for a really cool restaurant to kick back at after a long day, but nothing that these apps have will help you narrow down your options. There's just no differentiation between The Cheesecake Factory and the coolest place in town, and there's definitely something wrong with that. To fix this issue, Thrillist has made an app that hand picks the very best in food, drinks, and shopping, all with descriptive editorial, to finally give you what you want… something great. "Search, sort, share, and save thousands of hand-picked, local favorites — from five-star steaks to two-dollar tacos, rooftop clubs to underground speakeasies, and bespoke shirts to kicks inspired by Jacques Cousteau." Next time you are looking for somewhere to go, just do a quick Thrillist search and see what's awesome right around you.

When Should Anniversary Invitations Be Sent?
Invitations to an anniversary celebration should be sent out approximately 6 weeks in advance of the event. Depending on the scale and scope of your event, you may want to also consider mailing a save the date card from six months to a year in advance. Destination parties require more complicated travel plans, especially if they are out of the country, so guests need plenty of notice. Even if you won't be travelling far, if your event will be occurring around a busy travel time or a major holiday, guests will benefit from having more time to secure hotels and book flights at the best prices.
What Years Are Commonly Celebrated?
While every anniversary is worthy of celebrating for the love and commitment it demonstrates, certain years are considered milestones. Following is a list of milestone years with the traditional/modern materials commonly associated with them, as well as gemstones and flowers that are also considered appropriate for these years.
01st: Paper/Clocks: Carnation; Mother of Pearl
05th: Wood/Silverware; Daisy; Sapphire
10th: Tin/Aluminum; Daffodil; Crystal
15th: Crystal; Rose; Rhodolite
25th: Silver, Iris
30th: Pearl; Lily
40th: Ruby; Gladiolus
50th: Gold, Violet
60th: Diamond
If you want to use the traditional or modern materials as gift ideas, think outside the box. Paper gifts for a first anniversary may include tickets to a concert or sporting event, and a "wooden" gift for a fifth anniversary may be a tree planted in the couple's honor. You can also consider using colors, artwork or wording for your anniversary invitations inspired by the associated materials, flowers or gemstones.

Review: DataMan Next provides important statistics on data use for iOS
Solving a common problem for most iPhone and iPad users, this app is a powerful tool.
DataMan Next resolves an issue that almost all iOS device owners have--tracking data use over time. Because carrier log-ins take time and are not always accurate, it is hard to know in real time exactly how much data you have used and how much you still have left for the month. With this app, you can easily see where you are in your usage cycle and taper your use to stay under that limit.
Installation of DataMan Next is designed to ensure your forecasts are as accurate as possible. The app will ask you when your billing cycle ends, how long it is, how much your cap is and what you have used to date. This information allows it to show you in real time how much data you have left on your cap as it actively measures usage. The app doesn't use much battery power, though it will run in the background constantly to ensure accurate data. At any given time, you can open the app, however, see how much data you have used, and get a forecast for how close you are to your cap.
With modern data cap limits, especially if you travel a lot or use your device to stream large files, it's important that you have an app like DataMan Next to show you how close you are to your limit on any given day. Use the tools in this app wisely and you'll always know how close you are to going over your limit so you can adjust accordingly.

Items needed:
- vinyl/latex gloves/barrier cream (to protect hands from diesel)
- New Filter
- New Rubber gasket
- Fuel can with fuel
- Cloths/rags/newspaper (to clean up spilt diesel, it will happen)
Tools needed:
- socket wrench
- small flat head screw driver (to help with small clips)
1. open bonnet, and remove plastic engine cover
2. locate fuel filter, to the right of the main part of the engine, left of the battery, under a black metal sheild.
3. using the socket wrench remove the two bolts and move out of the way
4. disconnect the electrical cables via clip that simply lifts a little and pull.
5. disconnect the 2 fuel lines:
a. the horizontal connection, use the the small screw driver to pull out the small clip inside the bigger clip. once that is out push the surrounding clip and pull on pipe. a small amount of diesel will spill here.
b. the top connection, simply squeeze the white clips and pull. again a small amount of diesel will spill.
6. pull fuel filter housing from car, may need a little shaking and pulling to free out.
7. twist the top to unscrew the lid.
8. carefully pull out the old filter and remove rubber gasket. loads of diesel is stored in here and will be pretty warm if engine has just been on.
9. Fill fuel filter housing to the brim with diesel, this will help in the bleeding process.
10. Place rubber gasket on the housing and connect new filter to the lid.
11. with lid and filter attached insert it into the housing, diesel will spill loads here so maybe best on newspaper or rags.
12. ensure rubber gasket is sat right and equal all around the edge of the housing and filter.
13. take not of the arrow on the housing and tighten lid untill arrows match...tighten as best as you can with your hands...remember its only plastic.
14. put fuel filter back in the car and reverse the instructions above to connect.
15. start the car, the car may stall at first after 10 secs but restart and it should start.
if the car does not start after 10 attempts, disconnect fuel filter and check rubber gasket and make sure housing is full of diesel.
This guide is intended for the 1.8tdci 2006 focus, it maybe used for other models. carrying this service out is entirely at owners risk. i did this on the 23/08/11 so while still fresh in my memory i thought id write up a guide to help others. Pictures will follow on an update. on a further note, please dispose of the old filter according to local waste due to diesel being classed as hazardous waste.
hope this helps

YummyEarth Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
YummyEarth sells organic lollipops for children and adults. Many of the products sold by the company are for snacking purposes only, but a few of the lollipops contain vitamin C and antioxidants for improved health. Antioxidants are commonly used in weight loss supplements. There is no direct link between antioxidants and weight loss, but an indirect link can be assumed. Antioxidants work to repair damage from free radicals in the body. Free radicals take over healthy cells and reproduce in the body. When healthy cells are damaged, they are no longer able to work to repair and rejuvenate the body. During a diet and exercise plan, cells can be damaged and healthy cell repair is needed to retain optimal health and muscle recovery. This is where the antioxidant and vitamin C lollipops can work to improve weight loss efforts.
List of Ingredients
Organic Evaporated Cane Juice, Organic Tapioca Syrup, Organic Rice Syrup, Natural Flavors, Organic Black Carrots, Organic Blackcurrant, Organic Apple, Organic Carrot and Organic Pumpkin.
Product Features
The idea behind YummyEarth is to provide an organic, healthy lollipop for children and adults. At only 22 calories per lollipop, these small snacks are enough to provide a healthy dose of vitamin C or antioxidants with very little caloric impact on a diet. The serving size is three lollipops, which accounts for less than 100 calories. Several of the natural flavors provide antioxidant support.
All YummyEarth products are peanut free, tree nut free, gluten free, egg free, dairy free, wheat free and soy free. There is nothing in the lollipop flavors but natural ingredients. Without chemicals and various artificial flavors and sweeteners, some consumers may believe the lollipops leave something to be desired in terms of flavor, but several testimonials from children and parents state the taste is similar to other lollipops.
If the YummyEarth lollipops are consumed on a daily basis, the increase in vitamin C and antioxidants could work to decrease free radical impact on the body and increase immunity. While this will not speed up weight loss, it could help the body respond more effectively to other fat burners and herbal supplements.
YummyEarth products sell on the official website in small and large quantities. Consumers can expect to pay between $8 and $35 for products sold on the website. At times, the company offers free shipping and handling on orders over a certain price.
- All natural ingredients.
- All ingredients listed on the official website.
- No gluten, nuts or dairy are included in the pops.
- Only 22 calories per lollipop.
- Antioxidants may help to improve overall health and exercise recovery.
- Fat burning ingredients are not included in any lollipops.
YummyEarth sells unique lollipops that are all natural and healthy. The lollipops are low in calories and safe for most people with food allergies.

Two days ago, while driving up I-5 on the way back home from our LA spring break trip, we passed a cattle farm. It was an amazing sight to see, but not in a good way -- there were hundreds of thousands of cows as far as the eye could see, but not a single blade of grass. All these cows were standing on something brown, and I don't think it was dirt. The stench was unbearable. And it lasted for miles. Long after the cattle farm had receded into the distance, we continued to hold our noses. I have no idea how people can work in that place, much less how cows can stay alive in that filth.
And this is the meat that we eat!!! I can only imagine how many parasites and germs and goodness-knows-what are proliferating in those cows. Now, I'm not a meat hater by any means, if you put a burger or steak fajita in front of me I will wolf it down, and I don't believe in harassing people into giving up their carnivorous ways, but when I see stuff like that cattle farm it goads me into reducing my family's meat consumption even more than we have. My motivation for eating less meat has always been the health and environmental benefits, but it's getting harder and harder to ignore the conditions that livestock are being raised and slaughtered in.
Fortunately, reducing meat consumption is easier and more delicious than ever. There are so many delicious meatless options available in supermarkets these days, like tofu and soybeans and portabella mushrooms and chickpeas and beans! And if you're craving the taste of meat, you can even find veggie meat substitutes. Here are five of my favorites:
Despite the proliferation of veggie burgers in the market, I still like Boca Burgers. I admit, they don't really make a good substitute for a nice, juicy, beefy burger, but I can eat a veggie burger much more frequently than a beef burger and still maintain a clean conscience about my health.
I first tasted Veggie Patch Spinach Nuggets at one of The Pea's friend's birthday party. The mom served them for all the little princesses but I couldn't help stuffing my face with them, they're so good. I have no idea how they make spinach taste so good! For a short, glorious time they were available in giant-sized packs at Costco, but now I can only find them at Safeway and Whole Foods. They're the perfect alternative to chicken nuggets for the kids.
A couple of months ago I found myself craving my mother's chorizo. I bought some chorizo from a local Mexican grocery, but only used half of it because I was disgusted by the amount of lard that came oozing through. So when I saw this soy chorizo at Trader Joe's I decided to try it. It was delicious! Alfie loves it because it's got that hint of spice, and I think the texture is remarkably similar to real pork chorizo. The kids don't really like this chorizo by itself because they find it too spicy, but last night I made a gumbo with rice, red beans, vegetable stock and tomatoes. I stir-fried some of this soy chorizo and stirred it right in, along with some canned yellow corn and sour cream. The kids couldn't get enough of it!
I love Morningstar Meal Starters for spaghetti sauce, shepherd's pie, meatloaf, gumbo, or any recipe that calls for ground beef. Since you mix it with so many ingredients, you don't really notice that the texture is a bit gummier than real meat, and I can't really complain about the flavor either. You buy them in bags and stick them in the freezer, and since they're ground up it doesn't take much time to defrost them -- which is perfect for someone who decides what we're having for dinner about 5 minutes before she starts cooking it.
These Morningstar Sausage Patties are my latest discovery. I adore the taste of breakfast sausage and I think these are awesome! The other day I packed a breakfast sandwich for Alfie's lunch -- two of these patties and a scrambled egg with cheese, sandwiched between two waffles. I also packed a small container of maple syrup for him to dip into. That night he told me it was delicious, but I already figured that out. I know he's going to enjoy his lunch when I have to fight the temptation to eat it myself when I'm packing it for him.
If anyone has more meatless favorites, I'd love to hear about them!
*Disclosure: I wasn't compensated to list these foods nor did I receive any samples, nor was I even contacted by their manufacturers. I'm just sharing some foods I love!

Antiviral activity of Bifidobacterium adolescentis SPM0212 against Hepatitis B virus
Lee DK, Kang JY, Shin HS, Park IH, Ha NJ. Arch Pharm Res. 2013 May 9. [Epub ahead of print]
College of Pharmacy, Sahmyook University, Hwarangro-815, Nowon-gu, Seoul, 139-742, Republic of Korea.
Bifidobacteria are considered one of the most beneficial probiotics and have been widely studied for their effects in preventing and treating specific pathological conditions. The present study explored the antiviral activity of Bifidobacterium adolescentis SPM0212 isolated from healthy Koreans against hepatitis B virus (HBV) and its mechanism of action. To determine the effect of B. adolescentis SPM0212 against HBV, the level of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) in the culture medium and the levels of viral transcripts in HepG2.2.15 cells were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), respectively. To clarify the mechanism, we performed RT-qPCR using specific primers for genes encoding Interferon (IFN)-signaling components and IFN-inducible antiviral effectors. The cell extract of B. adolescentis SPM0212 dose-dependently decreased the extracellular HBsAg level by up to 50 %. Its gene expression in HepG2.2.15 cells was also inhibited by 40 %. This extract significantly increased the expression level of myxovirus resistance A, which is an IFN-inducible antiviral effector. Furthermore, the antiviral activity was observed in the fraction of compound(s) with molecular weights under 30 kDa. Thus, the cell extract of B. adolescentis SPM0212 inhibits HBV and its antiviral mechanism is associated with the Mx GTPase pathway.

Mom's Household Cleaning Tips
By Heloise
Special Offers
Mom's Way
To banish the odor of fresh paint, Mother left out a large pan of water with 2 teaspoons of ammonia.
Paint companies now produce odorless (or nearly odorless) paint formulas.
Mom's Way
She sanitized dishrags by pouring bleach over them and then letting them sit in the sink overnight. Later, people switched to sponges and sanitized them in the dishwasher.
We now know that certain bacteria are not destroyed during dishwashing cycles. Experts say it may be safer to use paper towels or disposable wipes for mopping up food spills. Replace sponges often.
Mom's Way
To wash windows, my mother recommended using crumpled-up newspaper.
Paper and ink formulas have changed. Some paper is less absorbent, and the ink may leave smudges on windows and casings. I often use a microfiber cloth.
Mom's Way
A reader once passed along this hint, from women who worked in her church's kitchen, to my mother: To polish stainless steel sinks, they would saturate a small cloth with soft butter, then rinse off the grease with soap and water.
Vegetable oil on a paper towel will work just as well, with less mess.
Mom's Way
Use bleach to remove rust stains from colorfast fabrics.
Actually, you should never use bleach -- it accelerates the rust's settling into the fabric. Instead, sprinkle a rust stain with salt and rub with half a lemon or apply a commercial rust remover (found in the fabric-dye section of supermarkets).
Mom's Way
Store batteries in the refrigerator.
Because battery technology has changed, the fridge is not the best spot. Store batteries in a dry place at room temperature (never in high heat or near an open flame). Properly stored, they can last for up to five years (depending on sell-by dates).
Mom's Way
Hang whites in the sun to dry.
Not such good advice anymore. Some of today's fabrics contain optical brighteners or fluorescent whitening agents, which can be damaged by chlorine bleach or sunlight, causing yellowing. Read care labels before washing whites.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (April 2013) |
Operations security (OPSEC) is a term originating in U.S. military jargon, as a process that identifies critical information to determine if friendly actions can be observed by adversary intelligence systems, determines if information obtained by adversaries could be interpreted to be useful to them, and then executes selected measures that eliminate or reduce adversary exploitation of friendly critical information.
Though the above statement is true in its official military format, OPSEC is the process of protecting little pieces of data that could be grouped together to give the bigger picture. OPSEC is the protecting of critical information deemed mission essential from military commanders. Protecting this critical information is through the use of email encryption software, being careful of who may be listening to you (like in a hotel bar), paying close attention to a picture you have taken (back ground), or not talking openly on social media sites about information on the unit's critical information list (military deployments, shortages of equipment or movement of VIPs).
In more modern usage, the term has come to have a similar meaning including protecting information from unfriendly eyes, including industrial espionage, hackers, law enforcement, social engineering, and (since the revelations of Edward Snowden) mass surveillance. It has been opined regarding highly adversarial environments that "If your secure communications platform isn't being used by terrorists and pedophiles, you're probably doing it wrong." [1]
An OPSEC assessment is an intensive application of the OPSEC process to an existing operation or activity by a multidisciplinary team of experts. Assessments are essential for identifying requirements for additional OPSEC measures and for making necessary changes in existing OPSEC measures. Additionally, OPSEC planners, working closely with Public Affairs personnel, must develop the Essential Elements of Friendly Information (EEFI) used to preclude inadvertent public disclosure of critical or sensitive information.

The Old Operating Theater in London is the museum equivalent of peeling back a bandage on a skinned knee to see what's underneath. It's gross and icky but you can't look away because it's just so cool.
(I am going to sit back for a minute and hope the rest of this blog post writes itself, because, seriously, I just peaked with that analogy.
Hmm … it seems that my website is not yet self-aware, and requires me to do all the work, so I suppose I'll just tell you about it.)
Rand had been to The Operating Theater Museum once before, and since he had a meeting with colleagues in the general area, I went by myself. This made the entire experience exponentially more creepy, though on the plus side, I was able to wander around much longer than I could have with Rand "I think three hours in a museum is plenty" Fishkin.

Microsoft removes 2.5 million download cap on Windows 7 Beta
Posted By Ashraf On January 10, 2009 @ 11:18 PM In I suck at spellings | 1 Comment
Update: If you are ready to remove Windows 7, feel free to read out How to remove or 'uninstall' Windows 7 guide [1] to help you on your way.
Title says it all:
Due to an enormous surge in demand, the download experience was not ideal so we listened and took the necessary steps to ensure a good experience. We have clearly heard that many of you want to check out the Windows 7 Beta and, as a result, we have decided remove the initial 2.5 million limit on the public beta for the next two weeks (thru January 24th). During that time you will have access to the beta even if the download number exceeds the 2.5 million unit limit.
Windows 7 Blog [2]
Microsoft totally dropped on the ball on Window 7 Beta's release and it is nice that they are trying to make up for it. At least no more fighting for product keys. :D

@donasmrs-- I think that they both need to be concentrated on, but it makes more sense to work on HIV prevention. HIV prevention is cheaper because it can be done through educational programs on use of contraceptives and having only one partner. Educational programs don't cost that much.
AIDS prevention means medication to prevent HIV from developing to AIDS. Unfortunately, these medications cost a lot. If people keep getting infected with HIV, concentrating completely on AIDS prevention doesn't make sense.
In my opinion, HIV prevention is more important.

Ok, so I just installed a ceiling fan in my sons room. I have done this before and read the directions. As long as you dont turn the switch 'off' everything works fine.... if you flip the switch off to turn off the fan/light, the breaker trips.... I cant say I have ever had this happen before I certainly havent, although I have tripped breakers when turning a switch on... just not by turning it off..... It had 2 blacks out of the ceiling and one black from the fan, and one blue to the light kit, I put these all together. I had two white from the ceiling and one from the fan. These are together, I copper from green screw on fan to ground on the ceiling mount. Copper from ceiling attatched to ceiling mount. and let me reiterate, it only trips when turning the switch OFF what in the world have I done?
If the power was brought in at the ceiling box and not the switch box this will take some correction in your hook up of the fan. Look at the connections on the switch are there two black wires or a white and a black connected to the screws on the switch? let me know and we will go from there. You may email me directly through my website contact form if you wish...Don
I will check tomorrow as I cannot see in the room right now to take the switchplate off, but... I needed to replace the switch anyways, so this will give me the momentum to do it... I will do this in the am..... Thanks for offering to help... BTW, am I right in guessing that if there is a white and a black that I need to connect a white and a black together in the ceiling? I do have 2 of each plus the 3 wires in the fan that go to them, but... I guess we can get to that tomorrow.... Thanks again!!! I should add that the ceiling fan I took off didnt have a light kit but the blue and black where wired seperately to the each black I think...... I could be wrong... but, I am sure that both whites where together because they are taped together and I didnt untape them, I just cut some of the tape off and put my other white from the fan with this.... I thought that this may be important....
i added a little information to my last post about how the previous fan was wired... nonetheless, the switch has one black and one white wire. The black wire goees in top of the switch (where you can see the word 'off') and the white wire is going to the bottom of the switch.
Do you own a voltage meter or tester? We will need to check some things.
I have a multimeter... not digital
Did you wire the switch?
no, I didnt change the switch out and didnt bother it at all until this am to see what color wires there were.... I might add just for clarification for me..... in the ceiling there are 2 neutral and 2 hot and 2 grounds. the neutral were taped together and the nots were not, the grounds are wired together also
I am wondering if the power from the breaker box was brought in at the ceiling box and not the switch box. When you told me that there was a white wire on the switch I believe the power was brought in at the ceiling box in which case we need to check where the power s coming from. With the switch in the off position check to see if you have power in the ceiling box between a white and a black in the same cable pair. We may have to disconnect all the wires in the ceiling box to isolate the power source. Be careful. Wear gloves if you need to.
Just so I get this right.... I am going to turn the switch to off... which is going to trip the breaker.... and while it is off I am going to check neutrals and hots?

The beginning of July has found us well settled in Bergen. There was much to do since our return, but we have been offering ourselves some time daily for two indoors leisure activities, both linked with TV sendings: the UEFA Euro 2102 and the Danish series Borgen.
The final in the former was played on Sunday and it was a strange pleasure seeing the PIGS doing so much better than the Central and Northern European countries! But even for the winners from Spain the party is over, and all need to return to more serious occupations and consider the future of politics and finances in the crisis-struck European South: from EURO to €uro…
Let's take the example of Greece: there is a new government formed by a coalition of three parties and this coalition will have to discuss the way the country will come out of the crisis without getting out of the Euro currency, which seems to have prevailed in the political consciousness of the Greek citizens in the elections of the 17th of June.
This is where the TV series Borgen comes fittingly into the picture. For it sets on the scene the adventures of an imaginary first female prime-minister in Denmark who is leading precisely such a government of coalition (in fact, the Danes elected their first female prime minister last year). Perhaps the TV persona of Birgitte Nyborg is much more gifted than the politicians who run the business in Greece (or elsewhere…), but the creators of the series have thus set in front of the eyes of their public a very noble goal to achieve: the finding of a leading figure who is guided by high morals and a sharp logic to overcome the difficulties of hard decisions, assisted by a team of bureaucrats and ministers that are moving between professionalism, loyalty, devotion, and … their opposites!
Yes, as a TV series, Borgen also brings forward all the spicey details of the main characters' personal lives. But it never misses the point and this is none other than the discussion of all sorts of political problems. An astute trick to achieve this is the brilliant idea to balance the political milieu with the world of journalism! And to mix them by exposing the most hidden interlinking aspects – including sexual partnerships and revenges…
But what is the relevant point here, is that if the government that Nyborg is leading manages to succeed in pushing ahead its policies, it is because there is honesty and transparency in most of its acts, or at least surely the wish that this is the rule followed by the leading persons in the drama. May we please have a piece of that cake in South Europe too?
The optimism is so much characteristic of the entire program that even in an episode where the war between North and South Sudan appears (camouflaged under the name of an imaginary country called "Kharoun" coined obviously from the name of the Sudanese capital "Khartoum"), the presidents of the two conflicting states (an Islamic northern one and a Christian southern one, not yet separated in the TV "reality") find in the end a way to communicate and coexist (despite the huge cultural differences and the conflicts regarding the sharing of the oil resources…).
The role of Birgitte Nyborg is of course crucial, and although she has her own aspirations of political profit out of this involvement, in a world where international diplomacy could be functioning more ethically, such a foreign intervention should be welcome, right?
In the meantime, and in the harsh reality of our world, the resolutions are to be found through revolutions – for as long as the state affairs are not administered by democratically elected governments or by governments that have lost their popular support but refuse to withdraw…and this is not elbow licking ;-)

Both Selena and Justin have burned up the small screen — do YOU think they'll make cameos on the new Disney show?
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are focused on singing these days, but a recent photo of them on the Los Angeles set of the new Disney Channel show Jessie makes us think the acting bug may have bitten them once more!
Justin, 17, and Selena, 19, have both taken the small screen by storm, with Selena's long run on Wizards of Waverly Place and Justin's shocking role on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. And now we're wondering if Disney will have them step in for an episode of their new show to boost ratings!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers — will Justin & Selena give acting another shot or should they just focus on music?

Justin and Selena can choose to cuddle in front of a gas fireplace or snuggle in Italian bed linens. Get all the details of their NYC penthouse suite.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are spending a romantic Valentine's Day at one of NYC's most posh hotels. Based on photos of them exiting their hotel, HollywoodLife.com has figured out that Justin and Selena are staying at the luxurious London hotel, most likely in the $2,000 per night penthouse suite.
"The London Penthouse is going to be the largest the hotel has," a source tells us. "It's on the 53rd & 54 floor [a split level], 2 bedroom 2 bath with a king bed in the master bedroom." There is only one penthouse suite.
Another insider confirms the pair stayed at the London and checked out on Feb. 13.
Here are all the details of Justin and Selena's love nest:
2,500 square feet.
Bay windows line three sides of the suite with views of Central Park, the Hudson River, and the George Washington Bridge.
Justin and Selena are sleeping in Filli D'Oro Italian sheets and handmade blankets.
They can cuddle around a gas fireplace set in marble.
They have a private dining room that accommodates eight people.
Free Internet
Justin and Selena can choose to watch a movie on one of the suite's three LCD flat screen TVs.
Both bedrooms have their own private dressing areas, so Justin and Selena don't have to fight for closet space or time in front of the mirror.
Happy Valentine's Day, Justin and Selena!

Just received my Black/UV Co-pilot today and getting it organized to take on its maiden commute tomorrow. Straight out of the box I am struck, like many others, by it's relatively diminutive size! How on earth is my EDC going to fit into this tiny beastie? I have been using my Plum/Wasabi LCB for my commute, and I love it, but thought that maybe more organization would be a good thing. Here is everything I 'need' to carry every day...
Attachment 2710
I don't always carry a knitting project on my work commute but I will on a longer train or tram ride. Storage for my KeepCup was paramount as I live on weak lattes! The weather in Melbourne is extremely changeable so I have to carry a good quality umbrella and fingerless mitts at all times! The shopping in Melbourne is also awesome so I need a fold away shopping bag and my purse at all times too! I have to carry my work ID and access cards on a lanyard, my house key, and my Myki card (payment for public transport) daily. I need my fave pens, nail care items, lipstick, lip balm, tissues, paracetamol, and a travel mirror. My iPad is a constant companion and I also carry a zip folder roughly the size of my iPad that houses an A5 journal, and two A6 notebooks for work and personal notes/ideas/reminders. I needed a back slip pocket for the inevitable trashy mag I will buy to read on the tram, or to slip my Kindle or a paperback into.
My bag is now all packed up and ready to go in the morning. Everything seems to fit in a sensible and easy to access way and the Absolute Strap feels amazing on. I did have to change some of the pouches I had been using in my LCB for different sizes or types to work better in the Co-pilot but will report on this tomorrow when I've given it all a test run!
