Jim Cramer on Twitter's (TWTR) Insider Selling, J.P. Morgan's (JPM) Warning and Linn Energy's (LINE) Quarter
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates LINN ENERGY LLC as a "hold" with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate LINN ENERGY LLC (LINE) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, increase in net income and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that the stock has had a generally disappointing performance in the past year."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- LINE's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 0.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 98.9%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income increased by 61.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$221.89 million to -$85.00 million.
- LINN ENERGY LLC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, LINN ENERGY LLC reported poor results of -$2.78 versus -$1.86 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.60 versus -$2.78).
- LINE has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, declining 24.81% from its price level of one year ago. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.

Bumble Bees at Bodega Bay
Thar's gold in them thar hills.
And also bumble bees.
If you visit the Sonoma County coastal town of Bodega Bay, and drive up to Bodega Head overlooking the ocean, you'll see a carpet of gold flowers known as coastal goldfields or Lasthenia minor.
And you're certain to see bumble bees nectaring those flowers.
Noted bumble bee expert Robbin Thorp, emeritus professor at UC Davis, says the most common species of bumble bee at Bodega is the yellow face bumble bee, Bombus vosnesenskii. The second most common? Bombus bifarius.
Goldfields are natives and so are bumble bees. Goldfields belong to the Asteraceae family, also known as the aster, daisy or sunflower family.
Want to learn more about bumble bees? Bumble bees are very much in the news. Thorp wrote a piece for a UC Berkeley publication. He recently addressed the Smithsonian Institute on the plight of the Western bumble bees and gave a Webinar at the UC Davis Department of Entomology on Franklin's bumble bee, an insect he fears may be extinct.
Gordon Frankie, Robbin Thorp and colleagues also wrote the lead story on native bees, featured in the latest edition of California Agriculture.
It's good to see the plight of the bumble bees drawing so much interest and it's good to see all the bumble bees at Bodega Bay.
BB at BB.

The Eyes Have It
Where Have All the Bumble Bees Gone?
The Smithsonian Institution is the place to "bee" on Monday, June 22.
UC Davis pollinator specialist and researcher Robbin Thorp will join other bumble bee experts from across the country in a "Plight of the Bumble Bees" public symposium from 10 a.m. to 12:30
The location: Baird Auditorium, National Museum of Natural History. The Smithsonian is located at the corner of 10th Street and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington D.C.
Thorp will discuss "Western Bumble Bees in Peril." Sydney Cameron and Jeff Lozier of the University of Illinois will examine "The Status and Trends of Midwestern and Southern Bumble Bees." Then Leif Richardson of the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife will cover "Bumble Bee Trends in Northeastern North America."
Other speakers:
- Stephen Buchmann, University of Arizona, "USA Native Bee Diversity: Rarity, Threats and Conservation Ideals"
- Paul Williams, Natural History Museum, London, "A Global View of Bumble Bees and Their Conservation Status."
Michael Ruggiero of the Smithsonian Institution will moderate. He's the senior science advisor of the Smithsonian's Integrated Taxonomic System (ITIS).
Following the symposium, bumble bee experts and other scientists will continue to meet at the Smithsonian for the next two and a half days to discuss concerns about the declining bumble bee population.
The symposium is part of National Pollinator Week, which starts Monday, June 22 and continues through Sunday, June 28.
Thorp delivered a presentation on Franklin's bumble bee May 27, during one of the UC Davis Department of Entomology's noonhour sessions. Franklin's bumble bee, feared extinct or nearing extinction, is found only in one part of the world: southern Oregon and northern California. Thorp's talk was Webcast.
Thorp, a member of the California Academy of Sciences since 1986, says that the loss of a native pollinator "could strike a devasting blow to the ecosystem, economy and food supply."
Locally, we've noticed far fewer bumble bees than in past years. Last summer we spotted a few in the UC Davis Arboretum (see below). This is the yellow-faced bumble bee or Bombus vosnesenskii, the most common Califonria bumble bee.
Not so common any more.

Hi there! Happy Tuesday! What do you think about this cold front of weather that we are having lately? I actually kind of like it. I wasn't ready to wear open toed shoes and capri pants just yet. I mean don't get me wrong, I absolutely enjoyed the beautiful 80 degree weather but I also enjoy the cold. I'm loving that I can get a couple more uses out of my uggs right now. It's really freezing outside today. Last night was pretty cold too. I couldn't even move from getting out under the covers today. I was so exhausted. I think it's because I stayed up a little late last night reading the Hunger Games. I seriously can't put that book down. I wish I could bring it with me to work to read. I swear, it's my goal to finish this book by the weekend. I want to see the movie so badly! I have heard nothing but good things about it. It feels good to be reading again! I took way too long of a break from reading books. I am hoping that on our honeymoon, I'll be able to read the rest of the Hunger Games series while on the plane on just relaxing by the beach and pool. I'm making it my goal to relax!
Yesterday was an all-around just blah day for me. I don't know about you but I definitely had a case of the Mondays. It wasn't good. I couldn't wait to just get home and relax. I ended up just watching some tv and then Mike and I finally decided to go to the supermarket to get things for the week. It was so late by the time we actually ended up going to the store. The nice thing about it was that it was completely empty. I love being able to just go down any aisle and look for whatever you want while not being pushed by other customers or having a cart slammed into your side. It makes for an unpleasant shopping experience.
It was interesting to see how most of the ground beef had been lifted from the shelves because of the "pink slime" going on. I was happy to see that Giant got rid of their ground beef. I read that they are going to be supplying pure ground beef without the "pink slime" in the coming weeks. I have been wanting ground beef though. I think that meat triggers Crohn's symptoms for me but I think it's only steak and other types of hard meats like that. I don't think it's from ground beef because I've eaten hamburgers and meatballs before and been fine. So we decided to buy a VERY lean cut of organic ground beef for us to try. I'm hoping and praying that I will be okay. It's just something different to eat instead of the same boring bland things I keep eating.
After shopping, we both didn't feel like cooking. I just wanted something quick and I was hungry and didn't care at this point if my stomach hurt or not. I wanted what I wanted and that was the end of it. So I decided on Chick-fil-A.
I don't know what it is about Chick-fil-A but I love their food! I love the smells. I love the waffle fries and I love the chicken. It's delicious especially for a fast food chain! Their unsweetened iced tea is delicious as well as their diet lemonade. I think that is one of my favorite fast food chains. I don't eat fast food all the time but when I do, I like Chick-fil-A as an option. What is your favorite fast food chain?
I have some other favorites of mine:
Starbucks – I'm not sure how much of a fast food restaurant this is but it is quick service. I love their coffees specifically soy mistos with sugar-free vanilla syrup. I also love their oatmeal and breakfast sandwiches.
Dunkin' Donuts – Their coffee is pretty good and their breakfast sandwiches are too. You can't forget about the obvious, their donuts!
Subway – I love their veggie delight sandwich and their bread is heavenly. It's so soft! I like the way Subway smells. Haha.
Taco Bell – This is not a healthy option by far but I love their crunchwrap supreme. When you go to Taco Bell, you either go big or go home!
Panera Bread – I love a lot of things on their menu! I especially love their broccoli cheddar soup!
Wendy's – Their chicken nuggets are so good! I love the seasoning on them and how can you forget about a frosty? I grew up drinking those!
Wawa – They are the best for quick sandwiches on the go, coffee, or any other snacks you might want!
Einstein Bagels – The best combo is a chocolate chip bagel with strawberry cream cheese! It tastes like a chocolate covered strawberry! So good.
Those are just a few of mine. I'm drawing a blank and I'm unable to think of any others! I'm not a huge fan of McDonald's or Burger King at all. I've never liked Burger King. Do you like any of the same places as me? What is your favorite thing to order from a fast food restaurant?
Have a great Tuesday!

Chadly, I'm on my second resuce. Had the first one for seven years. I was in an apartment when I adopted her. Make sure you introduce the dog to the maintenance guys as sometimes they forget and just come in and do maintenance. I crated my first one for about two months. She never got into anything so she was never in a crate after that. Maintenance guy and apartment staff loved her.
Just make sure you have time for the exercise. Neither of my dogs have any problem with 8-12 hours, although I doubt that is common. You might need to find a friend to help on the overtime days. We walk at least three times a day, every day of the year. Best wishes. Heidi changed my life...hope your dog has adds to your life too!
Todd Abby - Adopted 11 July 2011 Heidi - RIP (3 May 2011) Run free little girl, you gave me the best seven years of my life. |

Nov 14th 2009 11:27AM Just get off the game and spend more time with your significant other.
I have a girlfriend, and as much as I enjoy WoW, I'm going to log-off it if she's around. I don't even need to think about that one. A video game, or time with a woman I find beautiful and engaging.
4 hours a day *is* excessive, unless you're getting paid for it. If you don't believe it is, then there's really not much I can say to you.
There's really easy solutions to these sort of things. It's called "communication". It's the starting point and foundation of any good relationship, good sirs and ladies. Put your egos on the back-burner, sit down, and talk.
Appreciate who your partner is, and they will do the same. If they don't, it's time to cut your losses, and next time, try and find someone you can actually connect with.
Last but not least, you'd be surprised just how far common interests go when it comes to a relationship. Consider that, and try and make sure your partner shares them. I find it impossible to be attracted to someone who doesn't at least understand my interests. If someone things your hobbies are sad before you marry them, you can guarantee that will only get worse after your marry them.

Other NBA players invited to Las Vegas include DeAndre Jordan of the Clippers, Kyrie Irving of Cleveland, Harrison Barnes of Golden State, Paul George of Indiana, Ty Lawson of Denver, John Wall of the Wizards and Mike Conley of Memphis.

Happy New Year! I know I'm really late but I hope that 2012 is treating you right. The start of the year is a great time to purge and start fresh. Inspired by one of my besties, Ruth, one of my beauty resolutions is get rid of all my old products. I've compiled a list to help me determine which of my beauty products I should toss and which I can hang on to for a while longer. Sharing is caring, so I'm posting it for you now.
Mascara – 3 to 4 months MAX. Mascara has the shortest life span because of the potential to transfer bacteria to your eyes. Also toss any mascara that is drying out.
Eye Pencils – 2 to 3 years if you sharpen them regularly
Eye Shadows – Powder shadows can be kept for 2-3 years, liquid only lasts one year
Lipstick & Lip Pencils – 1 to 2 years. If it starts to smell before this amount of time, toss it.
Blush - Both cream and powder blushes should be tossed after 2 years.
Foundation & Concealer – 1 year before these need to be thrown out
Face Powder – These will keep for 2 years if you keep them clean.
Nail Polish – 12 to 18 months or less if they get thick and clumpy
Facial Cleansers – Up to 1 year for most cleansers.
Moisturizers & Toners – 6 to 12 months
Shampoos & Conditioners – Usually 12 months but you can look on the bottle to confirm. You should see a small container icon with "12M" or "24M" on it.
Hair Products – Up to 3 years, especially for products that come in a spray or pump bottle. Products you need to dip your fingers into should be tossed sooner.
If you can't remember when you bought a product, get rid of it. In the future, grab a sharpie and mark the date you open each product as an easy way to keep track. Please note that if you should suffer an eye infection, you will need to toss all eye makeup and applicators used from the time you developed the infection.
And ladies… don't forget about your tools! Make up applicators and sponges need to be washed weekly and discarded monthly. You should wash your makeup brushes with a mild soap every 2 to 3 months and your hairbrushes and combs should get cleaned once a week, especially if you use a lot of products in your hair.

IRELAND-ABUSE (SECOND UPDATE) May-21-2009 (1,070 words) With photos posted May 20 and 21. xxxi
Abuse endemic in Irish boys schools, says independent report
By Cian Molloy
Catholic News Service
DUBLIN, Ireland (CNS) -- Physical and sexual abuse was endemic in Irish institutions for boys run by religious between 1940 and the late 1970s, said an independent commission report.
A report released May 20 by the Commission to Inquire Into Child Abuse said a climate of fear created by pervasive, excessive and arbitrary punishment permeated most of Ireland's institutions for children and all those run for boys. During the period examined, more than 25,000 children were in the care of these institutions, where they lived with the daily terror of not knowing where the next beating was coming from, said the report.
In addition to being hit and beaten, witnesses described other forms of abuse such as being flogged, kicked and otherwise physically assaulted, scalded, burned and held under water. Witnesses reported being beaten in front of other staff, residents, patients and pupils as well as in private.
The commission of inquiry, established in 2000, was chaired by High Court Justice Sean Ryan and included prominent social workers, a pediatrician, a clinical psychologist and a representative of a children's charity.
Eight chapters of the report were devoted to institutions run by the Irish Christian Brothers, whose schools cared for more boys than all the other religious-run institutions put together. The order ran the Artane Industrial School in Dublin, which had 830 male residents, almost four times the size of any other school in the nation. The commission found that the number of students "led to problems of supervision and control, and children were left feeling powerless and defenseless in the face of bullying and abuse by staff and fellow pupils."
At the Christian Brothers school in Letterfrack, "physical punishment was severe, excessive and pervasive and, by being administered in public or within earshot of other children, it was used as a means of engendering fear and ensuring control," the report said.
"Sexual abuse was a chronic problem," at the remote school, the report said. "For two-thirds of the relevant period there was at least one sexual abuser in the school, for almost one-third of the period there were two abusers in the school and at times there were three abusers working in Letterfrack at the same time. Two abusers were present for periods of 14 years each, and the congregation could offer no explanation as to how these brothers could have remained in the school for so long undetected and unreported."
The 2,600-page report said sexual abuse was reported by approximately half of all those who testified before a confidential committee of the independent commission. Although girls were subjected to predatory sexual abuse by male employees or visitors, sexual abuse was not systemic in girls' institutions, the report said.
Sexual abusers often were repeat offenders, said the report. The commission found that, contrary to religious orders' claims that the recidivist nature of sexual offenders was not understood, it was clear from the documented cases that religious were aware of the propensity for abusers to continue to abuse. Generally, among all the religious orders, when a complaint was made against a lay staff member the matter was reported to police and the individual was dismissed, but when the complaint was against a member of an order the matter was dealt with internally and police were not informed, it said.
More than 90 percent of all witnesses who gave evidence to the confidential committee reported being physically abused while in schools or out-of-home care. The report said regulations governing the use of corporal punishment were disregarded with the knowledge of the Irish Department of Education, which had legal responsibility under the Children Act 1908 for all children committed to industrial and reformatory schools.
The report said although the education minister had the power to grant and withdraw certification, the department had too little information because the inspections were too few and too limited in scope. At the school run by the Brothers of Charity in County Cork, there was no inspection between 1939 and 1990. The report said the department's deference to religious congregations impeded change.
The report said school officials were alerted in advance to state inspections, so government officials did not get an accurate picture of conditions. It said inspectors ignored regulations that required punishment books to be kept and made available for inspection.
The Rosminians were the only religious order who tried to understand how the abuse had occurred, rather than merely try to explain it, Ryan wrote in his executive summary of the report. In their submission to the commission, the Rosminians referred to how the schools were financed by capitation grants, so that it was in the order's interest to keep children in their care.
The Rosminians also said the use of corporal punishment was self-perpetuating: "When it appeared to fail in its purpose, there was apparent justification for using it even more."
The report recommended that counseling and educational services should be made available to victims, many of whom never received a secondary school education, and family tracing services should be made available to help people who lost their identities in the process of being placed in institutional care. It said future government child-care policies should make the needs of the child paramount and should be reviewed on a regular basis.
The Irish government established the independent commission in 2000 to hear evidence from anyone alleged to have suffered child abuse at institutions since 1940. These institutions, funded by the state but often run by Catholic religious orders, included schools, orphanages, hospitals, children's homes or any other institutions where children were in the care of nonfamily members.
More than 3,100 people testified before the commission over the years and more than 800 priests, brothers, sisters and laypeople were implicated as abusers. A third of those alleging abuse traveled from Britain, the United States and Australia to give their evidence; on being released from the Irish institutions they had immediately left the country.
The commission's first chairwoman, High Court Justice Mary Laffoy, resigned in 2003, complaining of lack of cooperation from civil servants.
Ryan complained that the Irish Christian Brothers were trying to censor the commission's work by launching a court case attempting to prevent publication of the names of those accused, whether they were alive or dead. The Christian Brothers ran most of the institutions that cared for young boys and male teenagers.
In 2004, the commission agreed not to name names in its final report.

Pain & Gain: Mark Wahlberg and The Rock Are American Idiots Gone Bad
Meanwhile, private investigator Ed Du Bois (Ed Harris) and Kershaw stake out the gang to try to persuade Miami police to take their tale seriously. What, the cops don't believe sadistic beefcakes in wacky disguises kidnapped a Colombian and nearly beat him to death with dildos over something other than drugs?
It's easy to see why Miami police brush them off: The story is unbelievable. During one particularly absurd chase scene, Bay stops the action to remind viewers that "this is still a true story." Perhaps that's why the director was so drawn to this project, so committed to telling the Sun Gym Gang saga on the big screen that he agreed to direct another Transformers cash cow in return for Paramount Pictures' financial backing. Maybe he wanted to show his critics they're wrong, that crazy action-movie schemes with explosions and car chases aren't just the stuff of flashy summer flicks―that they exist in real life too.
But even though this story needs no embellishment, Bay can't help himself. He adds wild sidebars and shoot-outs to the already-insane material. At one point, a character feeds his own severed toe to a Chihuahua. Bay injects slow-mo effects, Instagram-esque freeze-frames, and B-movie-style gore. (Those who remember the Sun Gym Gang's murdered victims probably won't appreciate seeing one of their heads explode like a pumpkin beneath a falling barbell weight.) These cheap tricks work like movie steroids, unnaturally inflating the appearance of what's happening onscreen―and diminishing its overall, uh, potency.
When the story runs off the rails and crashes headfirst into a too-perfect ending, it's because Bay was led astray by the same things that got the Sun Gym Gang into this mess in the first place: superficiality, ambition, and the belief that reality just isn't good enough.
Pain & Gain opens this Friday, April 26.

Tomato Arbor?
My tomatoes WAY outgrew their 5' high stakes this year. I finally got the seed starting and timing right, so the "Florida weave" style staking I've been doing the last couple years only worked until about July when this year's plants started topping 7' and higher. I just let them go, but now the branches are bending from the weight. I need a taller staking system next year.
I was thinking about making arbors using cattle panels and rebar or T stakes. I don't know if anyone here has seen pictures, but I've seen photos of them used for green beans and other vines. Has anyone tried them for tomatoes?
I think my only concern is if the cattle panels would be sturdy enough to handle the weight of tomatoes. What else might I be missing here?
Here is a link that might be useful: Some photos from the Garden Junk forum
Me, me! *waves hand frantically* I have a cattle panel trellis and I love it!
Note that mine is a trellis rather than an arbor. I have no experience with cattle panel arbors except that I may someday use one as a gateway.
My panels are an extra-heavy weight -- that type just happened to be on sale; I'm sure the regular weight would be fine if well-supported. Unlike concrete reinforcement wire (CRW), the panels will not rust, so you don't have to worry about them weakening with time (though even CRW lasts ten or fifteen years or more, IIRC).
My panels are held up by T-posts (one at each end or where the panels join). The panels are attached to the posts with what looks like aluminum wire about 1/8" thick, near the top and bottom of the panel. Where the panels join, they overlap by a few inches or one square of wire. [As you may guess, I didn't build them myself.]
Since the panels are less than 5' tall, I had them raised about 15" above the ground. That makes the top close to 6' off the ground, which is about as high as I can reach. When the tomatoes get to the top wire, I train them to go sideways along the top of the panel (at least until things get too crowded).
In the spring, I cope with that dreadful in-between stage -- where the vines aren't tall enough to reach the bottom of the panel, yet need some help -- by a judicious use of jute twine.
I weave the vines through the holes, from one side of the panel to the other. But I also use the circular plastic clips to attach the vines to the panel, both to train the vine where I want it to go, and also to guarantee the vine won't collapse under the weight of the fruit. I don't know how much that's necessary, but a neighbor had her tomatoes collapse this summer (tied to stakes with strips of old cotton knit clothes).
The first time I used the trellis, I planted 2' apart, on alternating sides of the trellis. I'm sure that wasn't why everything died of Late Blight -- but they were too close. This summer, I planted the tomatoes 4' apart; not room for as many plants, but it works very well considering I pretty much don't prune.
In any case, this is way easier to deal with than any alternative I've tried. I have a few of the old (probably 25-30 years old), heavy, wide wire cages, about 3' tall. I planted a Rutgers in one. The tomatoes are so large and grow so tightly together that in order to harvest the fruit, I've almost had to dissect them to get them past the stems and the wires. No problems like that with the tomatoes on the trellis!
Besides tomatoes, I grow cucumbers and small gourds on the trellis.
Thanks for all the great info! I have raised beds set 3' apart with rock path between them, so my plan was to build an arch that starts in one bed and ends in the other with the path down the middle. I was only going to build one for green beans because they continually outgrow my 5' trellis every year. But now I'm thinking multiple arches to support all my tomatoes.
I love your idea about weaving the vines in and out of the squares. I'm also wondering if, while the tomatoes are small enough, I can train them to hang on the inside of the arch so they're protected from the sun when we get those 100 degree days in September.
I appreciate knowing this stuff will be tough enough to support tomatoes. I haven't actually gone to a fencing store to see it for myself. Just pictures at this point.

Radicchio Salad with Frisée and Apples
Posted on January 26, 2010
The other night I had the privilege of eating this amazing gluten free salad at Frasca, a fabulous restaurant in downtown Boulder. Their salad however, had salami, while mine, for a little hit of protein, contains walnuts.
I served this salad with dinner Sunday night while my 3 boys (2 children and husband) watched the NFL playoffs. Dinner (and this salad) were a hit (even though the Jets lost).

Vanilla Almond Butter
Posted on January 22, 2010
The creation of this delicious, homemade vanilla almond butter is hardly my own. One of my favorite readers, Courtney, over at benefityourlife.com, gave me several amazing presents during the holidays and one was a bottle of super tasty vanilla almond butter from the lovely Katie Kearney over at naturallynutty.com. Yum!
This is a great product, and when I finished Courtney's gift and was too impatient to wait for my own order to arrive, I came up with the little treat below. Katie's […]
Marcona Almonds
Posted on January 15, 2010
Many of you had questions about Marcona almonds when I posted my recipe for Marcona Almond Mayonnaise, so I thought I would take the time to provide some answers. Here's the first question from one of my favorite readers:
"Is there a difference in taste or texture between Marcona almonds & regular almonds? I know the Marcona almonds are from Spain so maybe (and hopefully) these are truly raw almonds (they're not so obsessed with pasteurization in Europe)."
To answer this question […]
Vanilla Roasted Walnuts
Posted on December 24, 2009
I'm slightly addicted to these Vanilla Roasted Walnuts and so is my husband. They have a hint of sweetness and a nice burst of vanilla goodness. On top of that, Walnuts are a great source of Omega-3's, have a high antioxidant count and are also beneficial for cardiovascular health. So I'm on the walnut bandwagon.
Here's the recipe for another gluten free, tasty, higher protein holiday snack with nuts.
Vanilla Roasted Walnuts
2 cups walnuts, raw
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey
¼ […]
A Holiday Gift
Posted on November 23, 2009
If you are looking for a quick and easy DIY holiday dessert gift, these gluten free candied nuts will do the trick.
The nuts are delicious and take about 20 minutes to make, maybe 3 minutes of that hands on time. All you need is a 2 cup mason jar and some beautiful wired ribbon (I found mine at Michael's) and you're on your way.

Candied Macadamia Nuts
Posted on November 20, 2009
Here's another recipe for delicious gluten free candied nuts. I love making candied nuts for the holidays. They're the perfect gluten free dessert, appetizer or snack. And they make a great gift too. The homemade version is much cheaper than store bought, tastes fresher and you know exactly what's in 'em!
If you love macadamia nuts, you might like to take a look at the recipe for Ginger Macadamia Brownies in my gluten free cookbook, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. Meanwhile, […]
Candied Pecans
Posted on November 18, 2009
I love making candied nuts during the holiday season. There's something very festive about them and they are satisfyingly sweet and filling at the same time. Lately I've been on a candied pecans kick. They're super easy to make and my husband loves them.
You could jazz up this recipe with some spices like cinnamon and cayenne (I think both together would be delicious), however I've been enjoying the simplicity of merely sweetening the nuts lately. These nuts make one delicious […]
Carrot Banana Muffins
Posted on November 6, 2009
When I saw this recipe for a purely fruit sweetened carrot cake from Heidi over at 101cookbooks.com I just knew I would want to make it into some sort of gluten free version. So I did.
Last weekend our friends Chris and Larry came over to sit out on our porch and read the Sunday New York Times with us while soaking in some good Colorado sunshine and we enjoyed these descendants of Heidi's carrot, banana, date yumminess. Here it is […]
Mulberry Granola
Posted on October 5, 2009
When I was in New York a couple of weeks ago, I found a recipe for Mulberry Granola that was raw, vegan, gluten-free and made of mulberries and walnuts. It was absolutely delicious, though just a bit sweet for my palate.
I saved the package (it was made by International Harvest and they have other flavors as well), and this weekend found a dash of spare time to recreate their product without using the agave they add to sweeten it. I think […]
Cranberry Walnut Bread Revised
Posted on September 24, 2009
After receiving this comment about my gluten free Cranberry Nut Bread from a reader named Caroline I became somewhat concerned about the recipe. I proceeded to test it several times in response. First, though, before I share my results with you, here is Caroline's comment:
Hello – I have just made your cranberry walnut bread using your exact recipe and strangely, my bread turned out very, very dark, as if there was molasses in it. The batter looked much lighter in […]
Creamy "Ricotta" Dip
Posted on August 14, 2009
Last night I made this delicious vegan "ricotta" dip for my parents who are in town visiting us. The boys and I are having a blast with them, though I am having an especially great time, since I have extra mouths to feed, which means more guinea pigs to test my creations!
Luckily, the parents (and husband) approved of, and devoured, this tangy vegan cheese dip, based on a recipe from the phenomenal book Entertaining in the Raw by Matthew Kenney.
Creamy […]
Roasted Banana Coconut Ice Cream
Posted on July 13, 2009
This Roasted Banana Coconut Ice Cream is naturally-sweetened, vegan, gluten-free and made with only five ingredients (don't be scared by all the descriptors). I've based this healthy ice cream recipe on one from Karina's Kitchen.
This ice cream is fairly easy to make; there are just a couple of steps involved. And I can tell you Roasted Banana Coconut Ice Cream is mighty tasty and my children love it –we hid it from my husband because we wanted more for the […]
Vegetarian Pad Thai
Posted on June 24, 2009
This Pad Thai is one of my family's favorite dishes. Add a heap of grilled chicken or sea food and you have a delicious high protein meal.
I purchase my noodles at the Asian market in town and haven't seen them online. If you are looking for noodles, you'll need to check out the Asian markets in your neck of the woods. If anyone knows of a good source for mung bean noodles that would be accessible to everyone (think Whole […]
Breakfast Bars
Posted on June 16, 2009
These hearty breakfast bars remind me of a granola bar or an omega-3 packed power bar. They're filling and tasty.
After I made a batch of these and was waiting for them to cool before cutting and stylizing them for a "photo shoot," my younger son proudly taunted me that he had picked out all of the raisins from the top of the bars.
Needless to say, I was quite miffed. Especially since I have a couple of half gallon jars […]
Dina's Delightful Cookies
Posted on June 10, 2009
These delicious cookies, chock full of coconut, walnuts and raisins are the product of our very recent visit to my parents.
Today the boys and I returned home to Colorado from visiting them in California. We went to have some family bonding time and distract them from a health issue one of them has been dealing with over the past year.
While there, we were able to see my sister, Dina and hang out with her. Of course, I wanted to know […]
Nutty Bread
Posted on May 4, 2009
This hearty, gluten free bread with seeds and nuts is delicious anytime of day.
Toast it for breakfast and serve with a side of scrambled eggs. Works great along with a big salad at lunch. Or, for a quick and easy dinner, it makes a great sandwich with organic turkey, avocado, romaine, tomatoes and dijon mustard.
I think this bread would also be delectable as an after dinner treat with a smear of dairy-free butter (I'm very into this Earth […]
Chocolate Walnut Torte
Posted on April 10, 2009
Food is politics. More than ever. So, imagine my surprise when I found this comment the other day, right here on my little ol' blog saying:
"I love your recipe blog, but really don't agree with your political views or comments. Try to stay more focused on the food instead of politics. You may keep more friends that way."
I'd never thought of being less than genuine and hiding my views as way to gain friends. Call me naive, that's one strategy […]
Chocolate Peanut Butter Tart
Posted on April 7, 2009
How low can you go?! This gluten free chocolate peanut butter tart is sweetened with a delicious alternative sweetener that I have been enjoying of late –yacon syrup.
This lower glycemic sweetener is derived from the yacon plant which is often referred to as "apple of the earth." Yacon is high in fructooligosacharides (FOS), a form of fructose that is lower in sugar than others and is in fact, also a pre-biotic. This sweetener feeds the friendly bacteria in the […]
Chocolate Hazelnut Spread
Posted on March 3, 2009
Just the week before last, my favorite food writer from the LA Times came up with a brilliant recipe for homemade Nutella.
I haven't had Nutella since I was a student traveling in Europe decades ago with a EuroRail pass, sleeping in youth hostels. Back then we used to eat the chocolate stuff for breakfast. These days, I find the real thing a little too sweet for my taste. So I was happy to see Amy's Scattergood's Homemade […]
Smoked Paprika Almonds
Posted on January 13, 2009
I recently received this comment from a reader who subscribes to my email feed:
"I'm not interested in non-raw food recipes–as perhaps many others who view your postings. Perhaps you could, to avoid wasting such people's time, simply note that this is a cooked food recipe, and then people can make an informed choice."
I laughed upon reading it. Until I realized it was not a joke, it was serious. I thought of unsubscribing the poor fellow, so as not to waste […]

Last month I attended an event hosted by CakeStyle, a Chicago-based personal shopping service. After some mingling, we sat down for a Q&A with the stylists, who wanted to know if we had any issues we needed help with. My hand shot up first, "I've got an issue," I said, "How in the world do you look cute when it's so cold out?"
Though I was born and raised in the North, three years of living down South undid my winter fashion sense to the point where I spent all of last winter in a puffy grey coat and jeans. It wasn't cute, and I vowed to make a change this year. I've been keeping warm and relatively stylish with the help of CakeStyle along with a few winter essentials.
Tips for Staying Stylish in the Winter
I took my company's holiday party as the perfect opportunity to put some of CakeStyle's recommendations into action. Keep reading to find out how I pulled an outfit together.
The Base
Staying warm in the winter is all about layering. When it comes to braving the cold in a dress, you have two great options for staying warm: Tights and Cuddl Duds. I used to double up on tights, but I usually found I was still cold, so I took the extra step to add on a pair of tight black Cuddl Dud leggings that look like tights. And, of course, a pair of warm wool socks!
The Dress
You can really wear any dress when you have the proper base to keep you warm. This is the perfect opportunity to pull out dresses you typically wear in the spring or summer. In this case, I chose a classic black shiny strapless dress from The Express.
I paired a silver belt with this dress, making sure the buckle was in the back where no one could see. WIthout a belt, I find this dress is a bit too baggy and the belt gives it a little something extra. I also added a silver sparkly bracelet from Jewelmint.
Top It Off
Since my company is more casual, I decided to wear a thrifted royal blue cardigan from Lands' End. I always think adding a casual cardigan on top of a party dress helps downplay the outfit especially if you're concerned about looking too dressed up.
The Boots
I finished my outfit off with my favorite winter shoes: a pair of black suede Anne Klein boots that I've had for 7 years. If you choose to wear a heel or shoes that won't exactly keep your feet warm, think about wearing practicial shoes to the location and change them once you get there. We all want to look stylish, but, let's face it, no one wants to have cold feet.
Considering that I usually take my coat off when I get to wherever I'm going, I don't put too much thought into my coat and I wear what keeps me warm. The only advice I would have is to choose a coat that matches the length of your dress. I tend to dislike wearing short coats with dresses and instead opt for a long wool coat. But, yes, just in case you were wondering, I did wear my puffy grey coat with this outfit.

Dave Spiro went to Strong Memorial Hospital's emergency room in January. He was taken by ambulance with serious flu complications.
"When they wheeled me in on the stretcher I had at least three or four stretchers, ambulances ahead of me waiting," he said. "I was on the stretcher for a good hour before they were able to find a bed for me in the ER itself."
Spiro spent 20 hours in the emergency room before getting admitted and moved to a hospital room.
"It is taxing because you just want it to be over with," Spiro said. "Get me in my bed, let me get rest. I can't sleep really."
Alison MacDonald went to Rochester General Hospital's emergency room last month for severe stomach pains. She spent nine hours in the emergency room before being admitted for surgery.
"Ultimately, when you're not feeling well, it's kind of hard to be sitting and waiting for eight or nine hours," MacDonald said. "They had beds in places I didn't even know they could put them."
New federal data on emergency room waiting times shows Rochester area hospitals fair poorly among hospitals across the country. The data was compiled by the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services and posted online. The data covers January to March of 2012.
This story will look at several measurements of time spent in the emergency room: admission, going home and initial evaluation by a health professional.
Lack of Beds
The patients who spend the most time in the emergency room are the ones who are sick enough to be admitted to the hospital.
Here's the average amount of time patients waited from their arrival to the time they were admitted:
Strong: 11 hours, 30 minutes
Unity: 10 hours, 22 minutes
Rochester General: 7 hours, 15 minutes
Highland: 5 hours, 2 minutes
State Average: 6 hours, 6 minutes
National Average: 4 hours, 37 minutes
Strong, as the area's only trauma center, has the busiest emergency room.
Hospitals say the biggest factor in the amount of time people spend in the emergency department is the availability of inpatient beds. Emergency rooms get overcrowded when hospitals are full. Patients who need to be admitted linger in the emergency room, sometimes in beds lining hallways. The situation can be stressful for patients and staff.
"I think given the number of beds we have in the community today, it's very difficult for us to manage those surges," said Strong Memorial Hospital Chief Operating Officer Kathy Parrinello. "We do have fewer beds per capita in the greater Rochester region than in many regions in the country."
A 2008 Finger Lakes health Systems Agency study recommended the area add up to 147 hospital beds. In addition to upfront capital costs, adding beds is an ongoing expense for hospitals because they must be staffed appropriately. Since the study, the three major hospitals have added beds to meet the need or are in the process of adding beds.
"We run a pretty tight ratio of beds to population," said Nancy Adams of the Monroe County Medical Society. We do that for a number of reasons. It's incredibly expensive to add beds."
Dr. Keith Grams, Chief of Emergency Medicine for Rochester General, says if a patient is stuck in the emergency for a long period of time, it's important to keep her updated.
"The hallway situation is definitely difficult," Dr. Grams said. "It's often that we don't know when a bed will become available, but what we do work on is making sure they know what's going on their care, keeping them comfortable, making sure they're getting what they need."

- Artistry, The Magazine
William Morris spread - This was a project for Design Layout class. The problem was to research and write an article about a famous designer and then to create a magazine in order to present it. The magazine was to consist of a cover, table of contents, masthead and a two page spread with the story about the designer.
I chose William Morris because I have always been impressed with the breadth of his work and his impact on culture, art, typography, small press publishing, design, society and his efforts to to bring art from simply something for the bourgeoisie and nobility and make it something for everyday life and the common man.

The emergence of the social web has given rise to a number of startups, and provided eco-systems that now support thousands of applications.
With the high quantities of existing users that are active within these networks, and the ongoing technical problem of user management, it's little surprise that a number of solutions have cropped up to offer an easier way for developers to integrate their users with the social web, and indeed, provide a much quicker, and seamless sign up process. Social sign-on also makes it easier for customers to share information directly to their social network of choice, increasing brand engagement and resulting in an increase in traffic. I've decided to take a closer look at the current range of solutions out there on the web today, for making your application, or its sign-up process integrated more closely with social media.

Xbox Live Arcade stunner, Limbo, has finally said hello to the PC scene as it arrives on Steam.
Limbo earned several perfect review scores when it originally arrived as an Xbox exclusive, and last month graced the PS3 with its presence.
The game intrigues players with its eerie silhouette visuals and a simple yet mysterious plot: "Uncertain of his sister's fate, a boy enters LIMBO."
The critically acclaimed adventure was among the top of the list of games that helped Xbox Live Arcade generate record revenues in 2010, and was itself the highest grossing or the year, bringing in around $7.5 million.
The PC version is said to run the smoothest of the lot, so rake out $9.99 and get all over it. Check out a trailer here.

Students in the Global Executive MBA work with the Windgap Foundation to deliver solutions that will assist the organisation in developing a more sustainable business model.
- 3:50 mins
- Watch on YouTube
In the initial part of the course, you will complete online primers and commence work on a strategic project. The majority of the program then takes place in five 14-day residential blocks of face-to-face classes, held approximately every 4 months, over a period of 18 months. You will be required to undertake self-directed preparation prior to each unit of study. This pre-course work is an achievable amount of study for busy professionals.
During the Global Executive MBA, participants submit assessment tasks for each unit of study in the program, ranging from multimedia presentations to reflective essays that capture the key messages of the unit of study. In the three offshore locations, participants are assessed on team projects, which are presented to their host companies. The contribution of participants to seminars and scheduled events, also forms part of the course assessment.
You'll undertake a series of primers, covering the baseline knowledge areas of financial statements, microeconomics, statistics and Excel spreadsheets. As part of the program you will access one of the world's leading distance learning systems developed for these areas and designed to refresh prior learning. You will be tested, instructed, and then re-tested at your own pace to determine any knowledge gaps, ensuring a similar level of expertise among the cohort. The online primers will be available from January with a completion date of the start of EMBA6003 Integrated Management in May.
The Executive MBA Report is a strategic project designed by you in consultation with the Executive MBA Program Director and your company (or equivalent). The project lasts 18 months and can be for your organisation or company, another organisation; or a new product, service or business. It will require you to draw upon what you learn during your studies. At the conclusion of the program, you will present your work to your senior executive group (or equivalent), which will provide an excellent opportunity for you to demonstrate firsthand, your abilities as a future leader.
For the first face-to-face unit of study, the concept of leadership is explored from a wide range of intellectual perspectives beyond the boundaries of traditional business and economic disciplines. A military perspective on leadership is introduced providing an understanding of the use of military models in business. The political perspective examines how political leaders lead, the role of rhetoric and managing power relations. The philosophical perspective looks at critical reasoning and what philosophy reveals about leadership. The dramaturgical perspective explores the importance of stories, performance and media in leadership, while the ethical perspective focuses on integrity and implementing ethical principles. Finally, the musical perspective on leadership explores critical listening and teamwork. These approaches develop a critical appreciation of different leadership styles and the application to business in a range of situations.
This unit of study will strengthen your knowledge base in the functional disciplines that 21st century managers need: accounting; finance; marketing and consumer behaviour; organisational behaviour and human resources; operations and supply chain management; and corporate governance. The focus is on providing practical insights from the latest leading-edge research. You will develop integration skills needed to forge business solutions and the ability to work in teams. The study plan incorporates interactive online primers specifically developed for the Global Executive MBA and access to an extensive database of management knowledge.
Further developing your ability to identify new business opportunities, form and implement new strategies, overcome the challenges of starting operations in different countries and manage people and projects across diverse cultures, will be the key focus of this unit of study.
As part of a team project, requiring independent research and onsite fieldwork, you will work in Bangalore, the fourth largest business hub in India. Here, you will develop a business entry strategy for the fast growing Indian market. In the first week, you'll stay at the prestigious Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, attending seminars on Indian culture, the introduction of foreign capabilities into India, local business strategy and financial modelling.
The second week is held at Infosys Technologies, one of the largest IT service companies on the subcontinent. Components include: seminars on alliances and partnerships, planning in extreme uncertainty, IP management in developing economies and presenting funding proposals to an expert panel. You will also complete a team project and present a business plan to your host firm.
With world-renowned businesses and academic institutions, Silicon Valley provides a fitting environment for the exploration of growth management. During this unit of study, you will develop skills to identify opportunities for expansion, how to harness strategic resources, improve corporate decision-making and avoid the potential pitfalls of growth.
This unit of study includes a team project for a major IT company, completed under the mentorship of a growth specialist, which you will present to your host firm. You will also attend seminars on a range of topics including: the ecologies of Silicon Valley, a finance forum with industry experts, strategic growth opportunities for a local manufacturer, performance management, non-market strategy, channel expansion, innovation and managerial decision-making.
Managing corporate renewal and turning around a business, is the focus of the final unit of study which provides you with the skills to diagnose performance bottlenecks and prescribe remedial solutions for businesses competing in mature industries. Set in the French wine growing region of Languedoc in the south of France, this unit of study analyses the classic wine growing industry, which after centuries of dominance, is losing market share and is in need of renewal.
The tradition bound Languedoc, one of the oldest vineyard regions in the world, presents a complex challenge, and you will be tasked with developing a turnaround strategy for a wine-related business in the region as part of a team project. The first three days are spent in London focusing on the demand side of the market. You will visit buyers and retailers of wine and explore the business decline. You will then travel to Languedoc to examine the supply market, visit wine producers, distributors and sellers and attend briefings on the local wine industry.
Seminars on the analysis of industries and customers, corporate renewal, and the future of management and the French wine industry, will be presented. Meanwhile, you will continue to work on team projects, which are then presented to host firms at the conclusion of the unit of study.

Xbox Platforms Get DESTINY Beta in Late July
By Armi Dimaranan on June 26, 2014
Xbox players rejoice! A beta for Bungie's highly anticipated shooter Destiny is coming to Microsoft systems. The downside is, we don't get an exact date.
It's been known that the Destiny beta will land on Sony's PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 platforms on July 17 as part of their "exclusively first" deal, but gamers were unsure if the game's beta would make its way to Xbox systems.
Thanks to the keen observation of VideoGamer, they've spotted a trailer on the Xbox One dashboard that reveals the beta will arrive in "late July." Whether that means a week after the PlayStation betas begin or even two weeks later on July 31st is still up in the air. The full game releases in September so I can't imagine it releasing much later.
There's not much we know about what gamers will get to do in the beta or how long it'll last or even if some progress will make its way to the full release, but we have high hopes for the title as our very own Malik Forte detailed during his hands-on time with the game during E3.
Destiny launches September 9 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4.
HT: Joystiq
good at this point in bungies career path and activisions backing putting exclusives is kinda bad if you want to have an equal amount of consumers behind both consoles. if a beta or dlc comes later for the xbox platform its just going to jade the xbox owners. and at this point why alienate potential consumer spending for your game.
im kinda glad that sony is getting a piece of the bungie cake or pie, even though i prefer the xbox
Will XBOX players even care…they already have HALO. How many Master Chiefs do they need anyway? ooohhhh…it controls my Cable Box…but has crap for frame rate and resolution so lets reduce force Ubisoft to lower the graphics on Watch Dogs because the PS4 is better and we need to level the playing field. Oooooh, and we want Destiny too…so we can have Halo and Halo-like game binge and purges. Is this too Troll-like? Meh!
[…] The wizards (presumably from the moon) at Bungie are ramping up for their big Destiny beta launch next week, and they're taking it as seriously as a full game launch. Given the insurmountable fun and polish within to the Destiny Alpha, expectations and excitement are running high for the next phase of Bungie's renowned new IP. Today, we've got more details on the premium editions of Destiny and a beta release date for Xbox owners. […]

@c38: The system is pretty solid in its application and rugged when it comes to "dirty" or noisy power. You need a power conditioner to give you clean, steady voltage.
The other thing is a surge protector to protect against any electrical transients that may exist on your electrical system. These transients may be caused by electrical storms or surges from your electrical power provider. The "USES electrical watchdog" does both. I do not sell these things -- just recommend them. Take care.

Sweet Basil Restaurant Review: Thai restaurants may be a dime a dozen in Portland, but that doesn't mean they're interchangeable. Sweet Basil is more attractive than most, housed in a converted bungalow, tastefully decorated with warm colors and interesting artifacts. On nice days, there's a lovely patio under a grape arbor for outdoor dining. The menu, too, transcends the ordinary. Try some of the Bangkok-raised chef's less conventional offerings such as maing kum (bite-size wraps with roasted shredded coconut, ginger, shallots, lime, peanuts, fresh chiles and dried shrimp), the pumpkin tempura with plum sauce, or the crispy duck with broccoli and spinach. The Tangerine Bar on the first floor offers a full menu as well as lively cocktails, beer and wine. Spice levels are patron-controlled, ranging from mild, medium, wild or extremely wild. Portions are large. |
