With the busiest long-distance travel period upon us, and my own upcoming 29 hour flight itinerary, I thought it would be an appropriate time of year to present my two favorite topics as one: travel foods!
Whether you are boarding an airplane or cramming into the car, providing the right fuel for your body can support an enjoyable travel experience and deliver you at your destination feeling energized and (physically) prepared for your visit.
Traveling by air
Nearly 90 million Americans already have digestive issues, so 35,000 feet up is not the time to exacerbate existing disorders or experiment to see if you can contribute to this statistic. Here are some general flight food tips to keep your tummy travelling well.
- Carbonated drinks. Stomach gases already expand by approximately 30% when you reach flying altitude, hence why downing bubbly beverages can make you feeling like Mr. Clause by the time you are deboarding.
- Alcohol and caffeine. Sure that Jack and Coke takes the edge off turbulence, but alcohol and caffeinated beverages contribute to dehydration. Besides irritated skin and eyes, this can also put you at greater risk for respiratory infections and DVT (deep vein thrombosis). After clearing security, fill or purchase a water bottle and bring onboard, sipping 8fl oz every hour onboard.
- Avoid fried, fatty foods before flight. These foods are already taxing on the GI system (fatty foods take longer to digest), but when traveling at even higher altitudes can cause exaggerated complaints of heartburn and acid reflux.
- Cruciferous vegetables. Wait, did the dietitian just say I don't need to eat broccoli? These cruciferous vegetables (Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage) contain a complex sugar, raffinose, which results in excess gas production in the intestines. Pre-flight is the only time you'll catch me advising you to stay away from these nutritional powerhouses, as the decrease in cabin pressure results in expansion of stomach gases and a not-so-comfortable traveler. They get the thumbs up the other 360 something other days of the year.
- Legumes. Skip the chili before you board. Beans have a high raffinose content, and are loaded with difficult to digest soluble fiber.
- Dairy. Milk and dairy contain lactose, and many of us have a threshold as to how much we can tolerate as we need an adequate amount of the enzyme lactase to breakdown lactose before running into trouble.
Suggestions for in-flight meals:
Skip the salty, fatty snacks and instead pack your own. Eat a light meal before boarding and eat small snacks every few hours onboard as needed. Avoid large meals while traveling. Check out these 15 in-flight meal suggestions.
Traveling by ground
Although you may have the option of stopping during your car trip, it may be smarter to pack your own foods to ensure your tummy remains a happy traveler. For the sake of your car-mates, I would advise avoiding most of the aforementioned flight foods above if you already struggle with these on the ground. I would also emphasize simple, 'no-assembly required' foods for car travel. You also have the option of packing a cooler to keep foods safe while en route.
Suggestions for car-trip snacks and meals:
- Bars (Larabars, Odwalla): Select a bar with at least 3g dietary fiber and 5g protein.
- Fresh fruit (wash before packing in the car): Avoid those with pits (cherries). Try single serve applesauce.
- Easy-to-eat veggies: Pre-washed cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, broccoli florets served alongside a thick (no-drip) dip.
- Yogurt and berry parfait: layer yogurt, fresh berries in traveling cup and seal with a lid).
- Simple sandwiches: toast bread before adding spread to avoid soggy sandwiches.
- Wraps: layer hummus, lettuce, veggies and seal in foil or saran wrap.
- Homemade trail mix: chex mix (or low sugar cereal), toasted nuts, air popped popcorn, dried fruit packed in ziplock.
- Instead of soda: Water, 100% vegetable or fruit juice (can be cut with seltzer water).
Whether traveling by air or ground, make sure you consider the foods pre-trip to ensure you are as comfortable as possible while traveling this season!

When the news broke that New Mexico could be weeks away from opening a horse slaughter plant, our hearts went out not only to the horses who would fall victim to gruesome deaths, but also to the citizens of New Mexico. If the plant opens, New Mexico's reputation will be blackened by its association with the incredible cruelty inherent to this grisly industry—and its citizens will be burdened by the economic peril, decline in property values, chronic environmental hazards and awful stench that horse slaughter plants bring to communities.
There is a broad consensus in this nation that horses should not be slaughtered for human consumption—and New Mexico is no exception. A new statewide poll shows that 70% of New Mexico voters are opposed to the slaughter of U.S. horses for human consumption and do not want a horse slaughter plant in their community. This strong opposition is represented across political parties, ethnicities and locations within the state.
Take Action
Fortunately, we have a chance to stand up for horses and communities like Roswell, New Mexico, that would be plagued by the resumption of horse slaughter in the United States. The ASPCA works closely with federal legislators and other advocacy groups in support of the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, a federal bill to ban the slaughter of horses for human consumption in the U.S. and their export for that purpose abroad. Please visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to urge your U.S. senators and representative to support and cosponsor the SAFE Act.
This is awful and needs to stop! It's cruel and completely unnecessary!
This is about money! Please do not kill these beautiful animals!
This makes me very sick to my stomach. Horses are beautiful compassionate animals and should not be slaughtered and butchered to death just so people can profit from it. Think of the poor horses and what they have to go through. They deserve to live and be happy. Please stop this immediately and dont allow it. It is Animal Cruelty and is inhumane.

Elixr is a social network that helps you find a drink
I don't think sharing ones drinking habits on social networks is a good idea.
Just downloaded the app and it's pretty neat. I agree with Shinuyuki, it's yet another social networking app (which really just links to other social networking apps), and though it's geared toward drinkers and barhoppers, it may end up being a niche product. Again, aesthetically pleasing.
Now, if I could only find a place in New York that makes a good Bloody Caesar like they do in practically any place I went to in Toronto, I'll be a happy camper.
This is cool I am going to go try it right now!
I will have to check this out.
This looks pretty similar to Untappd, although Untappd is exclusively for beer and ciders.
I like these apps that narrow it down to one catagory. And this is one I can definielty use!
This will be great! Next year... When im 21 lol

Emily Wiley, Ph.D.
I earned my PhD from the University of Washington, Seattle (where I also grew up). I research mechanisms the cell uses to control gene expression and packaging of the genome inside the nucleus. Many students have been involved in this research; they present our results at conferences and some are co-authors on my publications. I received a five-year NSF CAREER award to support this research and to develop an education initiative to broadly involve students in original research contributing to genome annotation. I continue to head the resulting Ciliate Genomics Consortium, which now involves faculty and students at eight other institutions across the country. Students in my molecular biology courses participate in this research. I also organize the "Undergraduate Research Symposium" held as part of an international molecular biology conference, and I co-edit a beginning molecular techniques manual (John Wiley & Sons, Inc) that won the 2009 PROSE award for "best resource in biological sciences". I also enjoy riding horses (english) or my mountain bike, rock climbing, backpacking, and skiing. Really anything that gets me outdoors into nature.

They include: a project on the 1.5 and second generation Asian Americans who lost or changed jobs during the recent recession; an article on how new immigrant groups use the ethnic media to learn how to live their everyday lives in the US and a project on differences and similarities among Brooklyn's Chinatowns, Flushing's Asiantown and Manhattan's Chinatown.
Professor Chin was a Social Science Research Council Post Doctoral Fellow in International Migration, and a Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation Junior Faculty Career Grant Recipient. Her publications include a book, Sewing Women: Immigrants and the New York City Garment Industry. She received her BA in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University and her MA and PhD in Sociology from Columbia University.
She teaches the Sociology of the Family course, among others for the Department of Sociology.She also teaches the Peopling of New York Freshman Seminar for the Macaulay Honors College.
She was a co-Chair of the ASA International Migration Section mini conference in 2013. She was also elected Vice President of the Eastern Sociological Society for 2015-16.

Can the Treasury Exempt Companies It Owns from Taxes? The $45 Billion General Motors Loss Carryforward Rule
2011, The Cato Papers on Public Policy
Eric Bennett Rasmusen, J. Mark Ramseyer
A corporation that buys property does not thereby acquire the right to reduce its corporate income tax by deducting the seller's past years' losses against its own future income. The tax code contains express provisions to rule out various complex ways of doing that, so as to prevent assets from being purchased for the sake of the net operating loss carryovers. After the government joined private parties in purchasing most of General Motors's property, the Secretary of the Treasury issued "the EESA Notices" which said that the usual tax rules would not apply and the purchasers could deduct $45 billion from their future corporate income, a tax asset worth an estimated $16 billion. The notice gave no justification for the exception, except that the TARP act gives the Secretary authority to do what is "necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of EESA." This paper argues that there is no legal or economic justification for the EESA Notices, even aside from the issue of whether the government should have bought the GM property. The scant notice paid to the large wealth transfer of the EESA Notices shows the danger of allowing this kind of tax ruling, especially in comparison to the widespread criticism of the government purchase itself, an action which may well have a much smaller cost given that the government's previous loans to GM were already sunk.

In the opening minute of his team's Coastal 3A Conference opener against White Oak, Havelock coach Bill Fryczynski saw his Rams fall behind 6-0 and quickly took a time-out.
"Let's get our heads out of our behinds and start playing basketball," Fryczynski said was his message to the team.
The Rams took the message to heart.
Michael Bowman scored 26 points and Zach Bruns added 21 as the Rams rolled past White Oak 95-68.
"Obviously we did a good job on offense with 95 points, but a lot of that came off our defense," Fryczynski said. "Mo (Bowman) was outstanding and Zach was Zach. He's going to get his points."
The Rams took their first lead at 9-8 on a Bruns 3-pointer with 3:48 left in the first quarter and they would never look back.
Havelock led 24-15 after the first quarter and started the second quarter with a quick 8-0 burst. By halftime, the Rams led 44-30.
"We do have to tighten up our halfcourt defense a lot," Fryczynski said. "We do gamble a lot, and you're going to give up some points because of that, but I think we just overwhelmed them a bit. That's what we're looking to do is just wear people out."
The Rams are somewhat rejuvenated now that those who played on Havelock's state championship team have returned to the lineup. Fryczynski believes some of that state championship attitude will help in basketball.
"There's a lot of enthusiasm on this team," he said. "I think a lot of it is from football, and hopefully it's carrying over to us. Half our team is football players, so it should."
After White Oak (2-4, 0-1) scored eight straight points midway through the third period, Bowman made a steal and put home a dunk to spark another Havelock run that produced a 71-53 advantage going into the fourth quarter.
"The way Mo played today really opened everybody's eyes. He's capable of doing just about everything out there," Fryczynski said. "And when you pair him up with Zach, you've got a pretty good one-two punch."
Havelock next plays New Bern at 8 p.m. Friday at Havelock High.

A pawn in a game played with living pieces, Gally finds herself set into motion against such foes as brutal spine thieves, the brain-eating gladiator Greweicia, the sinister Mr. Vector and the beautiful but ruthless Dr. Chiren.
The greatest threat of all, however, comes from Gally's own employers. When the mysterious Factory orders the execution of her best friend, Gally must make a terrible choice between her own code of honor and the life of the man she loves.

The LA Galaxy held Media Day on Monday with plenty of action and cool inside looks...I've compiled all of the pieces into one location...
*LAGalaxy.com released a Storify stream of all the photos that were tweeted from the club's official Twitter account.
*Meanwhile, Time Warner Cable Deportes provided of photos of their own including a large photo gallery.
Lastly, LAGalaxy.com followed Jose Villarreal and Bryan Gaul through the activities in the video below...
LAGalaxy.com's videographer Paolo Ferrari has provided a highlight video of Tuesday's 3-0 preseason victory over the Los Angeles Blues.
Check out the highlights below...
CARSON, Calif. – A.J. DeLaGarza may not have been called up for the U.S. national team's World Cup Qualifier against Honduras, but the LA Galaxy centerback is making the most of his opportunities at the club level.
DeLaGarza started Tuesday's 3-0 preseason victory over the USL Pro's Los Angeles Blues and went a total of 60 minutes in the win. During the match, DeLaGarza provided a vocal presence in the back alongside Tommy Meyer in the first and Leonardo in the second as he organized a Galaxy back four that overpowered the third division side's offense.
After the club's well-documented disappointing start to the season in 2012, DeLaGarza admits that there is "a lot of improvement from last year already" in just two preseason matches.
But how does the defender feel about his own level since returning from International duty?
"I feel good," DeLaGarza told reporters on Tuesday. "My confidence was high in camp and I thought I did pretty well. To not get called in, [for the Honduras World Cup Qualifier] obviously, my confidence was a little down, but now I'm back here and I'm making the most of my opportunity. I'm trying to get back in where I was fitness wise like everyone else."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy picked up their second victory of the preseason on Tuesday with a 3-0 win over USLPRO side Los Angeles Blues.
The scoring began in the 4th minute when a cross by Rafael Garcia set up an own goal by Blues midfielder Gabbi Gonzalez. Robbie Keane slotted a turnover in the box in the 15th minute before Jose Villarreal ended the scoring in the 76th minute while LA was down a man after Leonardo went down with cramp.
A few notes from the match...
The Galaxy started the match in the following formation:
*There were only two changes from last week's game against the U.S. Under-17's as Mike Magee moved into midfield for Gyasi Zardes while A.J. DeLaGarza started for Omar Gonzalez, who is away with the U.S. national team.
*Clark put together another strong performance on the left side as he showed an ability to link up with the likes of Keane and Zardes.
*The Galaxy first team held almost complete command of the match in the second half with the Blues only making a couple of forays out of their own half.
The Galaxy ran out the following lineup in the second half:
Sorto---DeLaGarza (Opare '60)---Leonardo (Inj in 72)----Gaul
*Paul Arriola put together another solid performance creating a couple of scoring chances, but was unable to find the back of the net. Arriola celebrated his 18th birthday on Tuesday.
*After starting goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini faced almost no action in the first half, Brian Perk made three saves as the Blues tried in vain to get on the board.
*The game was the first appearance for the Galaxy's second round draft pick Kofi Opare.
*Another strong game for Greg Cochrane, who was energetic down the left side. .
*LA played down a man for the last 18 minutes of the game after Leonardo suffered what Bruce Arena described as a cramp.
*There were two yellow cards in the match with Colin Clark picking up one in the 41st minute while Villarreal picked up one of his own in the 82nd.
*Following the match, Arena told reporters that first round pick Charlie Rugg is getting closer to returning to the field. Rugg himself told reporters that he's been dealing with a nagging groin injury.
*The Blues lineup for the match was as follows:
Carl Woszczynski; Matt Hall (Darryl Robson, 46; Dallas Moore, 71), Cory Miller (Adrian Dubois, 46), Erlys Garcia (Dutch Jock, 46), Jermano LoFuSang (Connor *Name not found*, 46); Jimmy Turner, 83); Gabriel Gonzalez (David Bakal, 46); Artur Aghasyan (Juan "Kichi" Perez, 46; Matthew Xiano, 71), Allan Russell (Georges Ba, 46), George Davis IV (Nelson Pizarro, 46), Deon McCauley (Sergio Del Valle, 24); Chris Cortez (Duran Davis, 33).
On Tuesday, the LA Galaxy announced the formation of an Academy Alliance with local clubs Redondo Beach-based South Bay Force (The team that produced Homegrown players Jose Villarreal, Oscar Sorto, and Gyasi Zardes) and Laguna Hills-based West Coast Futbol Club as well as adidas to identify and develop new players across Southern California.
Read more about the partnership here, but one of the things that I found most interesting about the development was the "LA Galaxy Player Pyramid."
Take a look at the structure of Galaxy palyer development below..
CARSON, Calif. – After three seasons of loans, Juninho is with the LA Galaxy for good and the tenacious Brazilian midfielder couldn't be happier.
The deal to bring Juninho from Brazilian club Sao Paulo on a permanent basis became official in mid-January after the Brazilian spent the past three seasons on loan. Juninho returned to Southern California from Brazil last Thursday and spoke to the media for the first time on Monday.
The move from Southern California to Brazil took some time, perhaps because it included Juninho's wife's Yorkshire terrier Julie, but now that it is over, Juninho admits that things are "perfect" in LA.
"[It was] easy because I didn't play [at Sao Paulo] too much," said Juninho, who is currently in the process of applying for a green card. "Here Bruce [Arena] gives me all the support and love here. I play a lot of minutes. I'm happy to be here."
Now that Juninho has arrived in Southern California, he is quickly looking to re-gain his fitness as he reported that he is currently at "70 percent" after the offseason, but expects to return to full fitness soon.
Although it was all smiles on Monday, Arena admits that the Galaxy entered the negotiations with Sao Paulo with some apprehension due to a few past experiences.
"We managed to do it in the first week of January. Our past experiences were it wasn't going to be easy but it turned out to be something that made sense for both club," said Arena. "We've always had a good relationship with them. We're happy for the player, we're happy for our club.
"Sao Paulo is a club with a lot of talented players, sometimes they can't keep everybody," Arena added. "We were fortunate to create a relationship where we were able to get Juni here."
With Juninho at The Home Depot Center for good, the Brazilian and the rest of the Galaxy can now focus on the task of going for an unprecedented third consecutive MLS Cup championship.
"It's a different year with different kinds of players," said Juninho. "I'll during the games. I think we'll be fine."
CARSON, Calif. -- Count LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena among those pleased that defender Omar Gonzalez was called into the U.S. national team set up for Wednesday's 2014 World Cup Qualifier against Honduras.
Gonzalez is currently with the U.S. during their brief training camp in Miami, FL before they travel to Honduras for the match in San Pedro Sula.
"It'll be a good opportunity for him. It's a little late, I think he should have been in that mix much earlier," said Arena. "And I'm hopeful that he gets some quick experience and eventually be a fixture for the team."
Gonzalez and the U.S. are in for a battle on Wednesday as they take on a tough Honduras team in the unfriendly confines of the Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano in San Pedro Sula. Although a qualifier in Central America always creates challenges for any opponent, the former U.S. national team boss admits that the conditions have improved across the region.
"San Pedro Sula is a tough place, I've had a qualifier there," said Arena. "Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica is a little bit more under control now. I think in the early days, CONCACAF didn't have a handle on a lot of stuff in the qualifying. it was like the Wild West. It's a little bit more structured now and it's a safer more productive environment for the players, but it's all difficult."
A few short notes from practice...
*Bruce Arena addressed a rumor from the website Soccer By Ives stating that the LA Galaxy are interested in acquiring the rights of U.S. International Robbie Rogers, which were dealt from the Columbus Crew to the Chicago Fire in the swap that sent Dilly Duka to Chicago and Dominic Oduro to Columbus. Arena stated that he 'was not aware of that" particular rumor and the Galaxy "have not discussed acquiring Rogers' rights with anybody."
*Arena also mentioned that there should be a resolution on the status of Re-Entry selection William Hesmer by the end of the week.
*Monday is LA Galaxy media day and there will be more coverage on the blog later today.
On Sunday, it was revealed that former LA Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders is currently on trial with Real Salt Lake during their training camp in Irvine, Calif.
By virtue of offering Saunders a contract during the offseason, the Galaxy retained the rights to the two-time defending MLS Cup champion goalkeeper, but head coach Bruce Arena told reporters on Monday that LA will not stand in Saunders' way when he finds a new club.
"Josh is no longer with the Galaxy," said Arena. "Whatever the technical issues are, we'll get that resolved. That's not going to be in Josh's way to move on to that team or another team in the league. We'll support a move for him anyway that we can."
Omar Gonzalez is off to Honduras.
The LA Galaxy defender drew rave reviews during the U.S. national team's January camp as well as during their scoreless draw with Canada last week, so it was no surprised that Gonzalez was added to head coach Jurgen Klinsmann's 24-man squad for the U.S.' World Cup Qualifier against Honduras in San Pedro Sula on Feb. 3. Gonzalez is one of just seven from the camp who earned a call-up joining Matt Besler, Brad Davis, Brad Evans, Eddie Johnson, Sean Johnson, and Graham Zusi.
The U.S. national team will train in Miami on Monday before flying to Central America to take on the Hondurans.
The complete roster as well as an interview with Klinsmann explaining the roster is below...
GOALKEEPERS (3) : Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire)
DEFENDERS (9) : Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), Carlos Bocanegra (Racing Santander), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Timmy Chandler (Nuremberg), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Michael Parkhurst (Augsburg)
MIDFIELDERS (8) : Michael Bradley (Roma), Brad Davis (Houston Dynamo), Maurice Edu (Bursaspor ), Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht ), Jose Torres (Tigres), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim ), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
FORWARDS (4 ): Jozy Altidore (AZ Alkmaar), Clint Dempsey (Tottenham Hotspur), Herculez Gomez (Santos), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders)
Former LA Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders has turned in camp with Real Salt Lake for their camp in Irvine, Calif.
RSL's official website revealed that Saunders joined the camp on trial. Saunders is the fifth goalkeeper in camp with RSL, joining Nick Rimando, Jeff Attinella, Lalo Fernandez, and Mark Pais.
The Galaxy parted ways with the two-time defending MLS Cup winning goalkeeper during the offseason after Saunders accumulated a 1.33 Goals Against Average and 22-9-5 record in 36 appearances across all competitions in 2012.

Division One Standout Joins Lady Falcon Softball Staff
November 17, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University head softball coach Amy Yates, along with athletic director Bobby Stewart, has announced the hiring of Lisa McLean as assistant coach for Lady Falcon softball. McLean joins the Pfeiffer staff after an outstanding playing career at the division one level.
McLean put together a stellar four-year career at the University of Akron graduating this past May. The speedy outfielder hit .304 for her career racking up 19 triples with 111 runs batted in. With a .342 average her junior year, McLean led the nation in triples with 10 for the season, finishing second in the nation in triples per game.
Leading the Zips as a captain her senior season, McLean put up another high average of .341 with seven triples, good for fifth in the nation and sixth in stolen bases swiping 45 bags. Her career accolades include all-MAC and all-region selections while being a three-time Dean's List member off the field.
"I'm very excited to have Coach McLean joining our program," stated Yates. "She was a tremendous athlete and brings a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm to our staff; having played the outfield while putting up great numbers as a left-handed slapper, her special skill set will immediately prove beneficial to our players."

Bourbon Law: Bourbon vs. Corn Whiskey
There are three key differences:
1. Barrels. Bourbon, as most of us know, must be stored in new, charred oak barrels (well, technically it doesn't have to be a barrel, but you know what I mean). Corn whiskey does not have to be barrel aged at all, but if it is, it can only be aged in (1) used oak barrels; or (2) new, uncharred oak barrels.
2. Corn Percentage. Bourbon must be made from a mast of at least 51% corn whereas corn whiskey must be made from a mash of at least 80% corn. So you can have a bourbon and corn whiskey that are the exact same mashbill (at least 80% corn), but they must be stored in different types of containers.
3. Taste. Bourbon is good. Corn whiskey sucks. (I actually couldn't find this listed in the regs, but I'm sure it's in there somewhere).

Steve - Corn whiskey CAN suck but not always. JW Corn is aged and is a pretty decent pour. I have some Stillbrook BIB corn whiskey from the 70's that's very good. I would agree for the most part that corn whiskey today is pretty rough but there are selections that taste pretty nice. If memory serves, Old Charter was a high corn mashbill, something like 86%.

Fair enough Greg, I haven't tried JW or Stillbrook. We don't get much corn whiskey out here: Georgia Moon, McCormick's and the crafts. I have had Mellow Corn while in the Midwest and it's not bad...for corn whiskey, but I can't imagine ever choosing to drink it.
I think it would be interesting if HH or someone did a well aged corn whiskey, aging it for ten or 15 years just to see what it's like.
- January 31, 2012 at 6:35 AM

Now you're talking. A well aged corn whiskey would be very compelling. I have some craft corn whiskies and it's rough going down. I've used corn whiskey in the past during tastings in order to give the group an idea of the broad spectrum of American whiskey; from corn all the way to rye.
- January 31, 2012 at 9:28 AM
Aging such a corn whiskey would only be an option if purchased beforehand. The well aged Rittenhouse barrels actually belonged to a fellow who was supposed to purchase them but did not, so they were left with selling them to us.
- January 31, 2012 at 8:03 PM
A friend of mine who has made moonshine for decades, and claims that corn makes "repulsive" whiskey. She uses rye to make something much more palatable (but then again, we're Pennsylvanians), and I find white craft ryes tend to be better than white craft corn whiskey.
I''e even taken corn, rye, and malt crafts (Shine XXX from Philly, Rye Dog from NY, and Silver Coyote from Santa Fe), and tasted them individually with a group, then combined them in a few different proportions to simulate various bourbon mashbills. We all agreed that the sums of the parts were always preferred to any of the singles, with one blend (low-rye) being downright outstanding.
- February 1, 2012 at 8:56 AM
P.S. I'm not a fan of what we know as aged corn whiskey,either, Greg. I usually get a bubble-gummy note that throws it all off for me.
A whiskey-centric friend of mine loves the stuff, though! (You reading this, Ethan?)

Though other sites claimed they could make it happen, I was able to use the tools on Magnetstreet, design it myself, and see how it looked instantly!

I also loved that I could see every invitation in my wedding colors. It really allowed a hands-on bride with a vision - like me - to make my vision a reality!

The Padres currently offer an "appreciation price" of $6.00 off tickets priced at $14.00 or more for all active duty military and their dependents, retired military and current DoD employees who possess a valid DoD issued ID card. This offer is for all regular season home games.
The Padres Veterans' Appreciation card (PVAC) is intended to be issued to military Veterans who served in the armed forces, but did not make the military a career - and therefore do not carry a DoD issued Card.
To qualify for this PVAC an individual must be a Veteran of any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, or the U. S. Coast Guard, and show proof of such service. Membership in any officially sanctioned military organization such as The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), The American Legion, Disabled American Veterans (DAV), etc,) suffices as proof of Veterans' status for the purpose of issuing a PVAC card to an individual.
The PVAC entitles the holder to the same $6.00 off regular season tickets as offered to the active duty and their dependents, retired military, and DoD employees. To purchase tickets with the PVAC the holder simply presents the PVAC with a picture ID card (i.e. Driver's License, VA Medical Card, etc.) at the box office windows at Petco Park.
Like the DoD issued ID card, the PVAC may be used to purchase up to 19 tickets at the box office windows for a single game. To purchase tickets for a group of 20 or more tickets with a PVAC, the holder of the card must go through the Padres Group Sales Office to purchase the tickets in advance of the game.
The PVAC can be obtained at the following locations:
County Veterans Service Office
5560 Overland Avenue, Suite 310
San Diego, CA 92123
The Veterans Museum
2115 Park Blvd.
San Diego, CA 92101
VA Oceanside Clinic
1300 Rancho Del Oro Rd.
Oceanside, CA 92056
Vet Center
2790 Truxtun Road
San Diego, CA 92106-6135
The Veterans Week/Veterans Day Parade Committee and the United Veterans Council are identifying merchants that will accept the PVAC for discounts for Veterans and the list will be posted on the UVC web site. The following merchants will accept the PVAC for discounts:
McCune Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge dealership will accept the PVAC for parts, service, and Body Shop.
2340 National City Blvd.
National City, CA 91950

My recent experience cruising among the 176 islands of the Island Nation of Tonga has sparked an interest in better understanding portable navigation systems. But before getting into that, it helps to understand the Global Positioning System as it relates to your iOS device.
The iPhone and the 3G versions of the iPad have a specialized GPS chip that allows them to receive signals from NAVSTAR, the US global satellite navigation system. The iPhone and other iOS devices can also ascertain their position from nearby Wi-Fi and cellular telephone networks where available.

Dewaldt Duvenhage has replaced Ricky Januarie in the Stormers' starting line-up named to face the Hurricanes.
A series of sub-standard performances has seen the axe fall on the Springbok scrumhalf. To date, Duvenhage has brought more to the Stormers from an attacking perspective and this may be why Rassie Erasmus has given the youngster an extended opportunity.
But when speaking to keo.co.za, Erasmus said a number of this weekend's selections are down to player rotation.
'We've been wanting to make a few changes since round three or four but because of a few results and the bye that hasn't been possible. We beat the Lions but then we had a break, so we didn't want to change much and risk losing momentum.
'We then played and lost three close games so were reluctant to make changes again. But at this point, we thought it necessary to give a few of the other guys a chance.'
Erasmus said Januarie is a valuable member of the squad but Duvenhage's strengths will be suited to this particular clash.
'He's particularly good with clearing the ball from the ruck and has a good kicking game. He's played well off the bench and deserves this opportunity.'
Erasmus has made a few changes to the pack with Hilton Lobberts coming into the second row. Tiaan Liebenberg replaces Schalk Brits at hooker while Brian Mujati has been bracketed with Wicus Blaauw at tighthead due to a head injury. If Mujati is cleared of concussion on Friday, he will start.
Brok Harris, who returns from a pre-season leg injury, is named on the bench but will only feature if he passes a late fitness test. Bok lock Andries Bekker joined the squad on Sunday but has not cracked the match 22.
'Brok's arriving soon and will hopefully train with us on Thursday. We want to see how he will slot in at the scrums and at the lineout before making any final calls. Brian's availability will also impact on our use of Brok at the weekend.
'Having a guy like Tiaan in the mix will help, as scrumming is one of his strengths. With all the injuries we need a player like Tiaan to aid the tighthead,' said Erasmus.
Stormers – 15 Conrad Jantjes, 14 Wylie Human, 13 Gcobani Bobo, 12 Jean De Villiers (c), 11 Sireli Naqelevuki, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenhage, 8 Luke Watson, 7 Duane Vermeulen, 6 Schalk Burger, 5 Adriaan Fondse, 4 Hilton Lobberts, 3 Brian Mujati/ Wicus Blaauw, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 JD Moller.

Dog fighting is a huge problem, and sometimes it can seem that you can't do much to help as an individual. But there are a few things you can do to stop it now, and we really need your help.
Why? Take it from those of us who have seen dog fighting compounds first-hand: Life as a dog used for fighting is a nightmare.
They live chained up or in a tiny cage. They don't get the veterinary care they need. They die in the ring or are unceremoniously shot for losing. Some are used as "bait" for other dogs. Some have litter after litter. Some starve. Some go without water for days.
Odds are that dog fighting is happening in your state right now. We need your help to stop it. Give dog fighting victims three minutes of your time?
1. Ask your U.S. representative to support the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act.
The Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on January 23, would make it a federal offense to knowingly attend an organized animal fight and would impose additional penalties for bringing children to animal fights. Violators would face up to one year in prison for attending a fight, and up to three years in prison for bringing a minor to a fight.
You can help the bill along by contacting your rep. We've made it easy at the ASPCA Advocacy Center, and we promise it only takes a few minutes, tops.
2. Download our new anti-dog fighting toolkit for citizen advocates.
If you're as horrified by dog fighting as we are, and you think you might want to commit more time to stopping dog fighting in the near future, download our new toolkit developed with the U.S. Department of Justice. It's got everything you need to know to get more involved. (We admit, actually reading it will take more than three minutes, but you get the idea.)
3. Fight Pit Bull prejudice via social media.
Pit Bulls and dogs who look like Pit Bulls get a bad rap because of their reputation as fighting dogs. Fight it by becoming a tireless advocate for them on your social networks. Start by posting the profile of a cute, adoptable Pit Bull-type dog on Facebook (we suggest Pet of the Week Champion) or sharing a happy tail about a Pit.
You can even share the story of a rehabilitated ex-fighting dog, like Ninja.
Oh, and of course, a bonus fourth thing you can do: Share this post on your social networks.
Easy, right? Together we can make a huge difference, and to the dogs who are suffering right now at the hands of fighters, it means the world.
To learn about a few more ways to fight back against blood sports, view our 10 ways to help end dog fighting and get educated about the issue on our dog fighting page.
On behalf of the dogs, thank you!
Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade!
By joining the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade, you will receive important alerts from us when we need your help to fight for laws against animals cruelty.
There needs to be stricter and stiffer sentences for these people. a guy who punches a dog because he is whining because he hurts from arthritis got only 42 days in jail. Dogs and cats are loyal, loving and defend and protect you. noone should hurt any living thing especially for sport. neighbors need to be on watch and should turn them in if they suspect it without any backlash,if they dont then they need to be accountable for it. we need to educate all children that this illegal and how animals should be treated and how they shouldnt be treated. any game that might be sold should never have the violence of any kind in it.
personally i feel if anyone who do these acts need to be slapped in prison, chained to a cement floor and wear shirts with their crime on their outfits with a picture of a bait puppy they abused.. shame on you
There is no excuse for this to happen. Like others, I say why don't law enforcement 'leak' some addresses or names involved with this nighmare and people like me (and I'm sure many of you)would be more than willing to 'take care' of it. I am a fan of the ol' eye for an eye. If these people were treated like the animals then fought like them maybe the world would realize how horrific a 'sport' it is. I would LOVE to have access to some names and addresses of people in my area. I guarentee the fighting world would see some action-and I don't mean with animals!
THANK YOU ASPCA for telling people HOW they can get involved to stop this HORRIBLE activity. It is so overdue and EVERY individual needs to get involved. That is the only way we can fight this. IF you love on your dog every day, why not care about so many that have no choice but a horrible life of ultimate death.
These animals have a right to live as well and these human animals that use these dogs like this should be put in jail.
In the mean time, do everything you can to make it damn hard for these human-animals to put on this dog fighting. Tell the police
where it is at. Id any persons who are in these dog fighting games, and get real tough on those who are doing it. For example,
five to ten years for every dog that is hurt and killed by these
games and I mean in jail.
As long as we have ignorant heartless men in our Government such as Representatives King who fights to let children attend dog fights we have a major problem. Everyone knows low life, drug users sickening people attend these so called events and bring their children. Need I say more. Why aren't the laws against animal cruelty being enforced. Perhaps if we punished people who broke these laws they might think twice but either way we must get tougher and break these up. Support legitimate Pit Bull Rescue groups, we need to take them all in to protect them. Our Pit Bully Mr. B alias Samson is the most wonderful loyal, brave creature you ever want to meet.
pit bulls make great pets. my friend has a pit bull that is the most kindest, friendielist, most affectionate animal you could ever want. people who harm these animals should be punished severly. they are the most pathetic and noncaring people in the world. they need professional help.
If it were legal shoot all animal violators. It wouldn't take long to stop animal violations of all sorts.
These people who do this have no heart. They deserve to be locked up. Because they are involved for profits. They should be investigated by the IRS. Some time ago, I read where one operator was also involved with drugs. Animal Cruelty, Illegal gambling, undeclared income, not to mention possible theft of local pets for bait. Then it comes to the spectators, they are the "bread and butter" for these sickos. They should be heavily fined, say $500.00 for attending and given a sanction, "family court", if they bring a child. Children should never be exposed to such horror. If they persist, they will be building record of violations. Just my thoughts. We must do all we can to end this barberism.

With just one limb, swimmer has 32 national records
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Kayla Wheeler, a 17-year-old Mountlake Terrace High School student, dances to the aqua aerobics music at a swim workout last week.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Kayla Wheeler races about six times a year, usually in the United States or Canada, though she has also been to Mexico, Brazil and the Netherlands.
But not as many as you might think.
Wheeler, a 17-year-old senior at Mountlake Terrace High School, is a member of her school's Honor Society. She plans to attend college and perhaps law school. She enjoys drama, with Miss Hannigan from "Annie" and Mrs. Potts from "Beauty and the Beast" two of her favorite roles.
And she is a member of her school's robotics and rocketry teams.
But remarkable as it sounds -- remarkable, of course, since she has just one limb, not four -- some of her greatest achievements have come in sports. Because despite needing a wheelchair to get around in her daily life, Wheeler is an accomplished swimmer with 32 United States records (a combination of disability classes, short course and long course, meters and yards) and world records in the 50-meter butterfly in two disability classes.
"My parents had no idea when I was born that I was going to be a world record holder in the 50 butterfly," Wheeler said, flashing one of her frequent smiles.
She started swimming when she was 8 months old, though at that age her pool time was mostly spent splashing. Her mother, Joyce Wheeler, wanted her to be comfortable in the water, and capable of righting herself if she ever fell in.
Back then, Joyce Wheeler said, "it never occurred to me that she would actually swim, let alone compete."
Kayla Wheeler began learning strokes when she was in kindergarten, but did not start competing until six years ago. She swam at a junior nationals event for disabled athletes that same year, and has competed nationally and internationally ever since.
What hooked her on swimming, she said, "was when I started winning. And at that first junior nationals, I came home with mostly gold (medals)." After that, she said, "I just kept swimming ... and just kept getting better."
She races roughly six times a year, usually in the United States or Canada, though she has also been to Mexico, Brazil and the Netherlands. Her goal is to be on the U.S. team at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro, and perhaps again at the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo.
"Breaking records is awesome, and so is winning medals," she added. "But it's not necessarily all about that. It also feels good when I beat a time that I haven't been close (to before)."
Wheeler trains partly on her own and partly with the Shadow Seals, a disability swim club in the Seattle area. Her Shadow Seals coach, Kiki Van Zandt, said Wheeler "is pretty special. ... She's a great, great representative of the sport, of our region, and even of our country when she goes to international events. She's personable, articulate, she knows what she wants, and she sets goals and goes after them.
"Despite her disability, she's like any able-body swimmer," Van Zandt added. "She has dreams and aspirations to achieve at the highest level she can. And the fact that she's out there doing it and setting the mark for (other disabled) people around the world is amazing."
Wheeler can swim all four strokes -- breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly and freestyle -- but has difficulty rotating her shoulder in the backstroke, "and it actually kind of hurts to do it," she said.
She prefers the other three, and has the most success with the butterfly. The remarkable thing is that she generates all her speed through the water with one arm. What makes it more difficult is that her arm does not bend properly, and she has just three fingers, two of them fused together.
But with no weight from her legs, "I'm actually very buoyant," she said. "My butt floats."
No one is quite sure why Wheeler was born with three missing limbs.
According to Joyce Wheeler, the best guess by medical specialists "is that it was something vascular" during fetal development. Joyce Wheeler had ultrasounds at eight, 15 and 37 weeks, "and they didn't detect anything.
Said Kayla: "I was born like this and my mom was very surprised."
"There's an understatement," Joyce Wheeler added. "'Shocked' would be a better word."
Kayla Wheeler uses a special wheelchair that she operates with a joystick and buttons, and she has a service dog -- a 10-year-old black labradoodle named Cadet -- that she takes most places, including school.
Despite her disability, she is a typical teenager in many ways. She occasionally argues with her brother, sometimes feels stressed at school and gets frustrated with certain peer relationships.
The great thing about swimming, she said, "is that it gives me something to do, but it's also a release." On most days, she said, "I just enjoy being in the water. The feel of it, the weightlessness, and the fact that you can let all your other emotions go, no matter what else you're dealing with."
Her daughter's extraordinary successes in swimming are "a total surprise," Joyce Wheeler admitted. "Our first year we were flying to Maryland for a swim meet and I was thinking, 'What? Really?' And then I cried through the whole meet. The French team was all by the side of the pool, cheering her on, and it was so surreal. It was like, 'Wow, that's my kid.'"
Swimming is not only great exercise, "it gives people a reason to talk to her and acknowledge her when they might otherwise not," Joyce Wheeler said. "Because now she's not just the disabled girl, she's the disabled swimming girl."

The Milyn Project is building Open-Source Java components for XML and non-XML Processing.
Smooks is a Java framework for managing and performing Fragment Based XML Processing (Transformation/Analysis).
Smooks can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to XSLT for XML Transformation.
Smooks gives you more control when performing XML Transformations and Analysis by giving you the freedom to use the tools and programming languages most appropriate to the type of transformation in question (or your skillset).
- Mix and Match different tools and languages in the process of transforming a single message/document e.g. it may be easier to transform one part of the document using pure Java and another part using XSLT.
- Simplify your XSLT and StringTemplate Templates by combining the power of the Smooks Javabean and Templating Cartiridges.
- Analyse/Read your XML and non-XML data into named Javabeans using the Smooks Javabean Cartiridge.

SEATTLE, Aug. 13, 2008 -- KCPQ Television (channel 13; FOX) aired a 'Wellness Report' story on Aug. 12 about breast self exams, how they should be performed and the important role they play in helping diagnose breast cancers.
The story featured an interview with Patricia Dawson, M.D., medical director of breast surgery for Swedish and leader of Swedish's Breast Cancer Program. It also referenced a recent Swedish-sponsored study headed up by Swedish Cancer Institute medical oncologist Henry Kaplan, M.D., that proved the effectiveness of breast self exams at helping diagnose breast cancers.
