"What's a little money between friends?" That common question has wrecked more than a few friendships. Reader Alexa (who blogs at Single Moms Income) is in that situation now. She recently sent us a story and a question. Here's her tale.
I moved back home near the end of July where I immediately reconnected with one of my old friends — we'll call him J — whom I hadn't seen in several years. In just a short couple of months, he became one of my best friends again. We began talking nearly every day and visiting each other a couple of times a week.
My new-found best friend has a baby on the way and was driving a clunker on the verge of breakdown. His credit is bad (warning sign number 1), so he wanted to purchase a reliable car from a "buy here/pay here" car lot. The car lot required a significant down payment, and he was $500 short. J called and asked me if he could borrow that $500.
I initially told him no because I didn't think it was a good idea. He called and asked again, so I thought he and I could do a little bartering. J is in the construction business and is a very good handyman. I recently purchased a trailer that was in need of some extensive work. I gave J two options: he could work on the trailer to pay me back or he could pay me $75 a week until the loan was repaid (interest free). He chose option number one.
I'm no sucker so I made him secure the loan with something more valuable than the amount that I had given him. He gave me his grandfather's old Thompson Contender Pistol, four gun barrels, and two scopes, all retailing for around $1,200. This was a good deal to me; my family owns gun shops and I could easily sell the merchandise to them for $800 if J was to break the contract.
We drew up a contract and signed it. J was going to do the work to pay me back and upon completion I would give him his gun and accessories back. The first week he came and worked about four hours, a whopping $60 worth of work. That was it. I called him – no answer. Sent texts – still heard nothing.
I blindly trusted this friend. Now I have $800 worth of his grandfather's (who passed) guns and accessories and have a guilty conscience about selling them.
As we know from the response to Jezna's Reader Story from last Sunday, a lot of us wrestle with lending money to family or friends who are not as fiscally responsible as we try to be. At least Alexa had the sense to secure the loan with something of value. But now she feels guilty about selling the guns and stuff. Obviously, J didn't care much about his grandfather's things.
Because they have a written contract, it is technically enforceable. (It would have been better if they'd had a third, neutral party witness it and then had it notarized.) Alexa could sue him. That gets ugly and expensive, but it is an option.
Me, I'd give J another month to show up and do the work. I'd keep calling or texting. If there was no response, I'd sell his stuff.
So, what do you think Alexa should do? Have you lent money to friends or family who haven't paid you back? What did you do?

Driver's licence overkill
Driving in Manitoba in January serves as a cautionary tale for parents anxious for their teens to become their own chauffeurs. The plastic detritus piling up at the intersections makes me think twice about handing over the keys to a budding driver in the house.
But they gotta learn, right?
And besides, try proving identity without a driver's licence.
Not everyone has a passport. They're expensive and time consuming to apply for, and they don't slip easily into a pocket.
Turns out in Manitoba a passport isn't all it's cracked up to be, either.
In this province, a Canadian passport is not proof of citizenship. The Canadian government says it is; other provinces agree. Not Manitoba Public Insurance.
MPI seems to regard a driver's licence, in the wrong hands, to be a greater risk to identity theft and national security than a passport. It sets formidable hurdles for an applicant of the enhanced licence -- the one that can get you past the U.S. border -- which requires citizenship be proved and a passport won't do it.
This we discovered when we tried to get the teenager started on his application.
Applicants for a regular licence must prove all of the identity requirements expected for an enhanced licence -- birth date, legal name, signature, photograph and Manitoba residency/permanent address -- but instead of proving citizenship, MPI asks for proof of entitlement to be in Canada (a passport passes muster here). Saskatchewan asks that five identity elements be proved, and makes them easier to verify. Quebec and Ontario ask simply for your birth certificate and health insurance card.
The standards for proving identity have tightened in the era of identity theft and terrorist threats. But it's an officious twist to declare a passport isn't proof of citizenship. MPI's feeble explanation is that someone who has had citizenship revoked might still hold a passport.
The vast majority of licence applicants each year are teenagers and, I'm beginning to suspect MPI would just as soon not see them driving on the streets.
That's because the Crown corporation sets another hurdle to proving residency/address, which requires two documents. This is where it gets tricky for a teenager.
A Manitoba health card was easy enough, but my 17-year-old does not have a utility bill in his name. Ditto a vehicle registration card (I kid you not), a mortgage document, a personal income tax document. He has a bank account but no bank statement (an accepted document) because he tracks his pennies online.
MPI allows a teacher or principal to sign a "guarantor's declaration" as proof of signature, photograph and Manitoba residency. In Saskatchewan, that declaration -- which can be signed by parents -- subs for both residency documents, but not in Manitoba.
Three trips to the local Autopac agent with documents up to our teeth -- passport, birth certificate, guarantor's declaration and health card -- and MPI conceded my teenager was who he said he was. Making things more difficult is the fact the vast majority of people applying for their licences work through an Autopac agent, a middleman, so to speak, which means you can't question the rationale behind the rules; they are just the messengers.
I don't know why this province feels it needs to break trail in Canada, setting the bar stringently high for proving identity. I was unaware that Manitoba is a hotbed of identity theft and terrorism.
I had an easier time getting this kid a passport, and his dad was in Australia at the time.
A friend said the same about getting her 16-year-old a firearms acquisition certificate not long ago; all it took was a treaty card, health card and birth certificate. She and I agreed that in some neighbourhoods, a lot of kids will be less likely to have a passport or a bank account, and must have a heck of a time clearing MPI's hurdles.
(By the way, a treaty card (certificate of Indian status) -- arguably proof of original citizenship -- is not proof of Canadian citizenship, either.)
And it raises the question, if you were worried about national security, which would you more tightly control, a shotgun or a car?

Normally, "Buy Me This" is all about things, for the most part, that we can't afford that are super-cool. This month, we've been at a lot of cons, and focused on cool, expensive items to buy there; however, by the time we got to C2E2, we noticed it was all the same vendors, so I decided instead of showing you things I couldn't afford, wouldn't it be fun to see what I actually bought? If you like haul videos, but a lot nerdier, without the video portion, and a bit of writing, this will be right up your alley!
Batman Black & White Statue: Sean Murphy
Batman Black & White statues are some of the coolest statues available because it takes the style of a particular artist and puts into statue form. This one I picked up was in the style of Sean Murphy, known for his work in PUNK ROCK JESUS and THE WAKE. This isn't the first time this cool statue has appeared on Comic Vine, though. It also appeared in Awesome Toy Picks as well.
Deadpool "Tacos" Shirt
T-shirts are always a big part of my con-going experience. I always pick a couple up. At C2E2, this incredibly ridiculous shirt caught my eye. In true Deadpool fashion, it makes little to no sense. However, it contains all the things I look for in a ridiculous shirt: pointless rainbows, flying, and giant, bold letter that has nothing to do with the actual shirt.
Galactus Puking a Rainbow Shirt
I didn't realize this until I started compiling all of this, but I purchased not one but two shirts with rainbows on it, It's really hard for me to pass up anything Galactus or anything with a character puking. Don't ask why. This was just such a weird shirt that didn't make sense to me, so I ended up decided to buy it.
Doctor Who Vinyl Figures
I'm a sucker for stylized vinyl figures and when I saw that Titans had put out figures for Doctor Who, I was on board, especially since there was one for every Doctor, and in some cases, there were variants. In total, there are 16 different figures in this set, so I picked two up. Here's what figures were inside.
I had a 6% chance of getting the same figure... Luckily, I think these toys are pretty dang cool, so I wasn't too bummed. Sadly, they cost more online than they did at the show. I'll just have to wait. (I really wanted a 1st Doctor and 7th Doctor)
Original Art: Issue 1, Page 12 of ARCHER & ARMSTRONG by Clayton Henry
For years, I've always wanted to own original artwork from a comic. More importantly, I wanted original art from a comic I like which has an artist I think is awesome. ARCHER & ARMSTRONG artist, Clayton Henry, just happened to be selling tons of his pages from the series and many of them at a ridiculously reasonable price. While there were a few amazing pages I really wanted, this one was in my price range and was a real memorable moment for me in the series, as Archer makes his way to the big city for the first time.
There you have it for the most self-indulgent Buy Me This feature yet. We'll be back next week with things none of us can afford.

Reply to: | Is Margaret a variation of Martha? by Mary |
I think what you need to do, Mary , is go out and buy yourself a good name dictionary. You can find them in the baby and child-care sections of most book stores.*Name Your Baby* by Lareina Rule would probably be a good one for you, as it lists foreign variations of many familiar names.
The book will show you that the names "Martha " and "Margaret " are two very different names -- sprung from different languages and possessing different meanings. It'll show you the same in regard to the names "Bridget " and "Margaret ", too.
"Marta ", on the other hand, can be a foreign variation of either "Martha " or "Margaret " -- just as "Cindy " can be a nickname for either "Cynthia " or "Cinderella " (two distinctly different names, as well).
If you are serious about this family research that you say you're doing, then do a little additional research of your own into names and name meanings. I strongly recommend that you buy a name dictionary of your own and use it.

Streptococcus pneumoniae in Urinary Tracts of Children with Chronic Kidney Disease
On This Page
Suggested citation for this article
Streptococcus pneumoniae is not commonly considered an agent of urinary tract infections. We report 3 children with urinary tract abnormalities who had high numbers of S. pneumoniae in their urine (>104 CFU/mL) and varying clinical symptoms.
The role of Streptococcus pneumoniae as an agent of septicemia, pneumonia, and meningitis is well known (1,2). However, published reports of urinary tract infection (UTI) associated with S. pneumoniae are scarce, and S. pneumoniae generally is not considered an agent of UTI in either adults or children (3,4). We report 3 children with urinary tract abnormalities and high levels of S. pneumoniae in their urine.
In June 2008, a 23-month-old boy (case-patient 1) received care for fever and clinical signs of a UTI at the emergency department of the University of Heidelberg Children's Hospital. He did not show signs of respiratory disease. His medical history was remarkable for bilateral cystic–dysplastic kidneys, a congenital urethral valve (surgery in October 2006), terminal kidney insufficiency and peritoneal dialysis since 2006, renal anemia, hyperparathyroidism, hyperphosphatemia, microcephalus, and failure to thrive. Blood was drawn for culture, and a urine sample was taken. After 9 hours of incubation, the blood culture was positive for S. pneumoniae, and the urine grew 105 CFU/mL of S. pneumoniae. Blood leukocyte levels were elevated (20 cells/nL [normal <13 cells/nL]), as were leukocyte levels in the urine (568 cells/µL [normal <4 cells/µL]). A throat swab was negative for S. pneumoniae. The boy's infection was treated successfully, and he was discharged 4 days after admission. Further analysis showed that both isolates were serotype 15B and were fully susceptible to all antibacterial drugs tested (Table 1).
In September 2009, a 12-year-old boy (case-patient 2) sought care at the nephrology department of the University of Heidelberg Children's Hospital for his yearly control examination 7 years after kidney transplantation. He had no clinical signs of current infection. His medical history was remarkable for kidney insufficiency, congenital obstruction and reflux in the urethral valve, kidney transplantation in 2002, ileocecal pouch, chronic transplant nephropathy, metabolic acidosis, hypertension, and renal anemia. A urine sample showed 105 CFU/mL S. pneumoniae and 103 CFU/mL Enterobacteriaceae. Urine leukocyte levels were slightly elevated (16 cells/µL). Further analysis showed that S. pneumoniae was serotype 34 and fully susceptible to all antibacterial drugs tested (Table 1).
In November 2009, a 7-year-old girl (case-patient 3) was sent to the emergency department of the University of Heidelberg Children's Hospital by her pediatrician because of abnormal results in a control urine sample 4 weeks after percutaneous nephrolithoapraxia and concrement removal. She was known to have cystinuria and had already undergone extracorporeal shock wave treatment with concrement removal in 2004. Her temperature was slightly elevated (37.5°C), but she had no dysuria or pain. Urinalysis showed elevated leukocyte levels (158 cells/µL), and 104 CFU/mL S. pneumoniae could be grown. Because of the mild symptoms, no antimicrobial drug treatment was started. Further analysis showed that the isolate was a 19F serotype (Table 1).
For each patient, urine was routinely cultured as follows: 2 samples of 1 µL each were placed on a 5% sheep-blood agar plate and a MacConkey agar plate. chromID CPS medium (bioMérieux, Nürtingen, Germany) was injected with 10 µL of urine. All plates were incubated for 18–24 h at 36°C ± 1°C in ambient air (5). Susceptibility testing was performed by using the BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System with SMIC/ID panels (Becton Dickinson, Heidelberg, Germany).
The literature on urinary tract infections with S. pneumoniae is scarce. In 1980, Green and Selinger described a patient with a soft tissue abscess and a UTI caused by serotype 3 (6). In 2004, Dufke et al. described a patient with pyelonephritis and urosepsis caused by serotype 6A (7). In 1988, Nguyen and Penn determined the frequency of pneumococci in urine specimens from adults and found 38 (0.18%) of 22,744 samples positive for S. pneumoniae (4). Similarly, Miller et al. determined that the frequency of pneumococci in urine specimens from children was even lower: 43 (0.08%) of 53.499 samples (3). Of 28 patients, for whom clinical data were available, 5 had dysuria, and 2 had pyuria. Three asymptomatic children had medical histories of genitourinary abnormalities; 6 asymptomatic children had medical histories of recurrent UTI with Enterobacteriaceae. The serotypes and antibiotic susceptibilities of the respective isolates were not reported.
A UTI is defined as bacteriuria (>105 CFU/mL in adults, >104 CFU/mL in children) of 1 uropathogen and typical clinical signs, i.e., dysuria and urgency. Depending on the age of the patient, clinical signs might be less typical, especially in children <2 years of age. Generally pyuria is present (8,9). By contrast, asymptomatic bacteriuria is defined as a uropathogen (>105 CFU/mL in adults, >104 CFU/mL in children) without pyuria (<10 leukocytes/µL) (9).
Applying these criteria to the 3 cases in this report yields the following results. Assuming that S. pneumoniae is a uropathogen, case 1 is a UTI accompanied by septicemia. No other focus of infection with S. pneumoniae was apparent or could be identified. We believe this is an ascending UTI in a boy with known oliguria from bilateral cystic–dysplastic kidneys. Because case-patient 3 showed only mild symptoms, diagnosis of UTI is not obligatory. Nevertheless, it is not a mere pneumococcosuria because of the high numbers of leukocytes in the urine (158 cells/µL).
Case 2 is more difficult to classify. The episode described might be pneumococcosuria because the leukocyte level is not high; nevertheless, it is above normal. Reassessment of all microbiological data of case-patient 2 indicated that since 2005 we have received 29 different urine samples. In March 2007, we had already identified S. pneumoniae (104 CFU/mL) and pyuria (92 CFU/µL). Additionally, 104 CFU/mL Proteus mirabilis had been present and considered the cause of the pyuria; 11 of 27 samples had contained α-hemolytic streptococci >103 CFU/mL (Table 2). Unfortunately, no test to differentiate between pneumococci and the other α-hemolytic streptococci was originally performed on these bacteria. Therefore, we can only speculate whether at least some of these samples contained S. pneumoniae. Taking these facts into account, we believe that this might be a case of bacterial persistence according to the criteria described by Chang and Shortliffe (cultures ± same organism) (8).
Reassessment of all available laboratory data on case-patient 1 showed that we received 3 urine samples before the described episode and 8 afterward. In none of the samples did we find S. pneumoniae or α-hemolytic streptococci. From case-patient 3 we did not receive any other material than described.
Further analysis of the S. pneumoniae isolates indicated that all 3 children were affected by different serotypes. Therefore, we do not have an indication that a single serotype has a predilection for the urinary tract. In theory, 2 cases could have been avoided by vaccination, i.e., case 3 (serotype 19F) and case 1 (serotype 15B). However, case-patient 3 was 4 years of age when the routine vaccination program aimed at children <2 years of age started in Germany in 2006. Because no catch-up program existed, this child was never vaccinated against pneumococci. Case-patient 1 was regularly vaccinated with heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in 2006–2007 but was just 23 months old at disease onset disease, i.e., 1 month too young to be eligible for the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. Case-patient 2 is not yet vaccinated against pneumococci. Thus, we suggest that S. pneumoniae be added to the potential UTI-causing pathogens in children with urinary tract abnormalities.

The Vintage Recipe Project: Lemon Sponge Pie
There are a couple of really fun aspects of recreating vintage recipes for the Vintage Recipe Project.
I enjoy collecting these old cook books. I enjoy reading how the recipe themselves are written. Each recipe is pared down to the bare minimum of directions and sometimes they are not in the order that this modern day cook is used to finding them in a written recipe. Some of the ingredients are called by different names or different terms are used for processes that I am used to in modern terms.
Note to self CAREFULLY check vintage recipe ingredients before making. More on this in a minute. Some vintage recipes might also be missing an ingredient that an experienced baker should realize and add.
This recipe for Lemon Sponge Pie came together beautifully. Which is a surprise since I had a little 40 lb distraction working in the kitchen with me this morning. My granddaughter Hailey was here.
Luckily I had a small piece of pizza dough in the refrigerator, that I had saved from a few days ago just for her. She loves to roll the dough out and make her own creations.
though I read it at least three times before I started baking and who knows how many times while I was putting everything together I still missed that it was missing salt.
One of my blog readers left a comment and told me that the sponge pies are very popular Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch recipes and wondered if the area the cook book had come from had any Amish nearby.
"Tina said, Sponge pies, especially lemon sponge, are very typical Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch recipes.
This recipe for Lemon Sponge Pie came from a cookbook from the area of Bradford County, Pennsylvania. Another area that has a large population of Amish.
Lemon Sponge Pie Recipe
Adapted from a recipe taken from A Cook Book Of Favorite Tested Recipes. Compiled by Home Economics Committee of Bradford County Pamona Grange, No. 23 1950 Recipe submitted by Rachel Schmoll of Wysauking Grange, No. 58
Just mix them together so the butter is completely incorporated into the sugar.
See the picture above. This is what happens when you attempt to mix 2 tablespoons of flour into to egg yolks. After that mess I changed things up a bit. Beat the egg yolks into the cup of milk and slowly added the flour. I then whisked it in until all lumps are gone.
Made your lemon sponge pie last night. Declared as the best lemon pie my husband has ever eaten! Thanks for the recipe, it certainly is a keeper!!! Jaime

A Must for Glued Quilt Bindings! I specifically purchased this product for the metal tips that are included in the packaging, although I have ended up using the plastic bottles as well. I am a quilter and the tips are suggested in a binding technique to scantly apply Elmer's School Glue to fabric. The technique needs exact placement and tiny amounts. These are the tips that were suggested. They are really hard to find. These work perfectly. I am very happy! (And, I like the new technique!)

Questions & Answers
The cap (called Extension Caps) screws onto the bottle. The metal tips are placed onto the end of the cap to provide the fine detailed point. The metal tips appear as though they screw on, but I didn't open the package to verify. There is also a plastic cap topper that goes on the end of the cap when the metal tips are not in use.
What size are the bottles? It would be helpful to know how many ounces the held.
One bottle holds one ounce, the other holds four ounces.

FILE: a tool for the study of inquiry learning
Hulshof, C.D. and Wilhelm, P. and Beishuizen, J.J. and Rijn, H. van (2005) FILE: a tool for the study of inquiry learning. Computers in Human Behavior, 21 (6). pp. 945-956. ISSN 0747-5632
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 294kB |
Abstract: | A computerized learning environment (Flexible Inquiry Learning Environment; FILE) is discussed. FILE allows researchers in inquiry learning to design, administer, and analyze learning tasks in which content domain and task complexity can be configured independently, while other factors (e.g., the interface) are held constant. This allows for more valid across-task generalizations. FILE is based on a descriptive model of inquiry learning and its monitoring facilities allow for the extraction of learning indicators derived from the model. Furthermore, FILE is suitable from the age of eight years, which allows developmental issues in inquiry learning to be addressed. It is concluded that FILE can be used to set up studies in inquiry learning in an efficient way, saving expensive programming time. |

Ohio routed 49-7 by No. 9 Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP)
Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton and running back Beau Blankenship had seen everything in their first three seasons with the Bobcats except a loss in a season-opening game.
That streak ended at four Sunday as No. 9 Louisville rolled to a 49-7 win.
''We didn't give them much resistance, but the way they played, the way they executed, the quality of athlete that they've got - I think it's definitely a top-10 team,'' Bobcats coach Frank Solich said. ''Certainly, I think it's the best overall team since I've been at Ohio that we've played.''
Ohio (0-1) beat Penn State 24-14 to open last season but an upset over Louisville would have been on a much bigger scale. The Cardinals (1-0) are expected to be a part of the BCS national championship picture, and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater entered the season as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate.
The Bobcats had hoped to hang with the Cardinals with their offense. That didn't happen.
Ohio went three-and-out on its first two possessions, and the third drive ended after six plays with an interception on third and 16. The Bobcats were down 21-0 at that point.
''We knew they had a great offense, and we felt like that to keep up with them, we'd probably have to score almost every possession,'' Tettleton said. ''It's just one of those days that we weren't clicking. Give a lot of credit to them. They have a really good defense.''
Tettleton finished 11 of 23 for 140 yards. Blankenship, who set a school record with 1,604 rushing yards last season, finished with 22 yards on 12 carries. The Cardinals outgained Ohio 615-273.
In contrast, Bridgewater had Louisville up by two touchdowns before he threw an incomplete pass.
He hit his first nine passes and matched a career best with five touchdown throws.
Bridgewater kicked off his Heisman Trophy campaign by going 23 of 28 for 355 yards. Damian Copeland and Kai De La Cruz each caught two touchdown passes and DeVante Parker and Robert Clark each had one.
Michael Dyer, the former Auburn star, debuted for Louisville and broke off a 46-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.
Like last season, Bridgewater involved many targets in the offense and found them wide open much of the day.
Parker was at least 10 yards past a defender when he caught a 27-yard pass for the Cardinals' third TD in the second quarter. De La Cruz meanwhile had 20 clear yards in front of him after catching Bridgewater's pass for a 40-yard touchdown in finishing with team and career highs of 116 yards on four catches. Only Clark faced Ohio coverage before diving for his 25-yard score late in the third quarter.
Backup Will Gardner followed Bridgewater in the fourth but didn't miss a beat, hitting De La Cruz for 30-yard touchdown for a 49-7 lead.
Louisville had hiccups such as four false starts and a face mask penalty in the first quarter. A pass interference penalty late in the third quarter helped Ohio break the shutout as Ryan Boykin scored from 10 yards.
But those were the only mistakes on a day that the Cardinals cruised.
''They were hitting on all cylinders today,'' Solich said. ''Bridgewater was precision-perfect on a lot of throws. At times, we made it a little easier than we should have made it for them as far as leaving receivers wide open. Still, their passing attack obviously was a great passing attack.''
Ohio had the ball for just 22:44.

Rabbit And Wild Mushroom Terrine With Onion Marmalade
- Two 2 1/2-pound rabbits, dressed
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 pounds assorted wild mushrooms, trimmed and wiped clean, sliced
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup brandy or Cognac
- 1/2 cup demi-glace or veal reduction
- 3/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
- 1/2 pound bacon, diced
- 1/3 pound unsalted fat back (pork fat), diced
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 slice white bread, crust removed, torn into pieces
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 10 large yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 12 - 14 cups)
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 4 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup red wine vinegar, or to taste
- 1/2 cup water
- Remove the meat from the rabbits, tear or cut into small pieces, and set aside. Discard the bones or reserve for another use.
- In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions, celery and bell peppers, and cook until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, salt and 1 teaspoon of the pepper, and cook, stirring, until soft and they have given up their liquid, about 6 minutes. Add the brandy and stir to deglaze the pan. Add the veal stock and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine the rabbit meat, cooled onion mixture, the bacon, fat back, garlic, coriander, chili powder, kosher salt, remaining teaspoon of pepper, basil, oregano and thyme. Stir well to mix. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 325° F. Line a 12- x 3- x 4-inch terrine with plastic wrap. Bring a kettle of water to the boil.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg with the heavy cream. Add the bread and soak until dissolved. Combine with the rabbit mixture.
- In 2 batches in a food processor (or with a meat grinder, or the grinder attachment on a mixer), pulse to grind the rabbit mixture to a coarse texture. Pour into the prepared terrine and cover with the plastic wrap.
- Wrap the terrine with a 2nd sheet of plastic, and then tightly in a heavy aluminum foil to make airtight.
- Place the terrine in a medium roasting pan and transfer to the middle rack of the oven. Pour the hot water into the pan, reaching halfway up the sides of the terrine.
- Bake until the terrine is cooked through, 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours.
- Carefully remove the pan from the oven and remove the terrine from the pan. Unwrap the foil to allow the terrine to cool to room temperature, or refrigerate before slicing.
- ONION MARMALADE: In a large, regular surface (not non-stick) sauté pan, heat the oil over high heat. Add the onions, sugar, thyme, salt and pepper, and sauté until starting to caramelize, about 10 minutes. As the onions caramelize, add the vinegar and water in stages, stirring and scraping the edges of the pan, until the onions are very soft and completely caramelized, about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and cool at least 15 minutes before serving with the terrine.
- Yield: about 3 cups

Making Alternative Medicine A Safe Alternative
Australians should think twice before mixing alternative medicine with pharmaceutical medicine.
This is the finding from a study published in the August issue of Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health.
Andrew Armstrong and colleagues from the National Centre for Social and Economic Modelling investigated the use of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) in Australia.
The study looked at CAM use in treating five chronic conditions: asthma, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis and heart or circulatory conditions.
"The survey estimated that around 42% of Australian adults were living with one or more of these five conditions, and around one-quarter of these were using CAM specifically to treat their illness," Dr Armstrong said.
"With higher rates of CAM use there is the potential for adverse drug interactions with pharmaceutical medicines.
"This is particularly important because many people do not disclose their CAM use to their medical practitioner and many doctors do not ask their patients."
The term CAM covers vitamin/mineral supplements or natural/herbal treatments whether they are prescribed or bought over the counter.

Title: | Petrolisthes zacae Haig, 1968 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Porcellanidae): The Development of Larvae in the Laboratory |
Author: | Gore, Robert H |
Date: | 1975-04 |
Publisher: | University of Hawai'i Press |
Citation: | Gore RH. 1975. Petrolisthes zacae Haig, 1968 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Porcellanidae): the development of larvae in the laboratory. Pac Sci 29(2): 181-196. |
Abstract: | The larval development of Petrolisthes zacae Haig, 1968, an eastern
Pacific species of porcellanid crab that inhabits mangrove forests, is completely described and illustrated. Development consists of a prezoeal stage, two zoeal stages, and a megalopal stage. The zoeae and megalopae of P. zacae are quite similar to those of P. armatus but can be distinguished from the latter by several morphological features. The larvae of P. zacae are compared to those of both Atlantic and Pacific P. armatus, wherein the close relationship exhibited by the larvae of all three forms reaffirms that already noted for adults of the two species. |

Ready In
This is soooooo yummy! I cut the recipe in half since it is just me, my husband and my toddler, big mistake! We gobbled it all up and wanted more! Next time I will definately make the full 8 servings. Also, I will add a little crushed garlic. Any time you see a 2.5 year old scarfing down cooked carrots, you know it's a good recipe!
I made this recipe with a frozen vegetable mix (broccoli, cauliflower & carrots) & I also used shredded cheddar rather than velveeta. It was quick & delicious & I think the vegetable variety added nice flavors. Thanks, I will make this dish again & again!
These are absolutely fabulous. Even if you're not a big fan of carrots you will go back for more of this dish. I scaled it down to 4 people and used a 1 pound bag of baby carrots. I did cut them in half before steaming them. I served the dish with a honey ham and it did compliment it very well although I think it would go great with any main course. My 4-year-old ate all that was given to her. I highly recommend this dish.

Hello horseracingnation.com users!! The "Breeders' Cup Fantasy Capping" game is back. As I did last year, I wanted to organize a private league for HRN users.
The nature of this league is friendly and positive.
To join the league, simply click here and follow the instructions to set up a profile and join the fun.
League name: HRN.com
League password: zenyariat
I will be the league commissioner and post the weekly standings to HRN. If the league runs out of space and more people would still like to join, just simply leave a comment and I will start a second league and keep track of them both together for the overall results.
Best of luck to everyone, and I can't wait to see how my handicapping measures up against the rest of the Horse Racing Nation!
Meet Matt Scott
My horseracing journey began when I was 16 years old and my mom took me to Hollywood Park. Although I did not fully appreciate it at the time, the experience stuck with me forever. 10 years later, during one of my many international business trips to Hong Kong, I visited Sha Tin racetrack to watch the races. This is where my true passion began.
Holding a masters degree in mechanical engineering, the puzzle of handicapping intrigued me. I have made a career of making decisions based on trends, patterns, and formulas, which is why I think I was initially drawn to the sport. However, I have truly learned to appreciate the horses and how magnificent they are as athletes.
I currently live in San Jose, CA, and when not following racing, I like to spend time with my wife, mountain bike, and design high-speed bicycles that I build and race. For reference, 55,000 furlongs is the distance from Hong Kong to my home in San Jose. Also, I have 1-year-old dachshund (aka wiener dog) that I am training to race in the annual Wiener Nationals held at Golden Gate Fields.
