Veterans Affairs restarts some of its suspended projects
Veterans Affairs CIO Roger Baker does not give too many details, but says the troubled initiatives have plans and milestones, and are in a better place. VA plans on prioritizing its top programs and ending those that do not make the cut. Baker says for too long the agency has tried to do too much, and that was one reason for its failures.

We've all had conversations with our inner critics. You know the ones. They happen after you have given a speech, made a presentation, interviewed for a job, or led an important meeting. Your inner critic chimes in, telling you how you messed up, what you should have done differently, and how you could and should have done it better.
Also read: Practical Ways to Exude Confidence
Those conversations hurt, yet they happen all the time. And, the problem is if you listen to these conversations for too long they will start to undermine your self-confidence, demoralize you - even paralyze you!
The good news: You can redirect that type of communication with yourself and make it more supportive.
To do this, first you MUST stand up to your inner critic. The next time you hear that voice, tell your inner critic to stop criticizing. Tell that voice that you are simply not willing to listen to any more browbeating. Tell the voice that the ONLY thing you want to listen to are specific steps you can take to do it better the next time.
No more put downs! It's time to focus on improvements!
When you silence your inner critic, that critic will become your inner coach that points out ways to improve future results.
You can't change the past, but you can look to the future and improve your performance for next time.

To answer your "issue"
First, you can tell us all not to "cry" but if I actually owned a Ferrari then sold you a Honda kit car that looked like a Ferrarri, because you wanted the one I used, in the US that would be fraud.
This is not marketing, nor sales. It is actually a deceptive practice that in other industries with more money companies would get fined and possibly have people go to jail.
If Roger isn't using an nCode, then it shouln't look like one. Everyone knows that player copy-cating (if thats a word) is a big reason tennis players buy frames. Since it is well known that this is one of the largest sales boosters, then it is actually wrong for a company to tell you a guy is using a frame when he is actually using another.
To give you a better example, I play a Rickenbacker bass guitar. Mine looks like everyone elses from a distance, but i use a custom string that you can't buy anymore. I still use the STOCK Rickenbacker 4003 in Jet Black, but with custom strings. THAT is not fraud, because even though I use a customized string, the guy can go to the store and buy essentially the same bass.
If you go to the store and buy an nCode six, you are NOT getting even a stock model of what Federer is using, because he is NOT using nCode base or stock frames to start with.
Marketing and sales are NOT defined as fraud and deceipt, which this tennis industry wide practice is.
I suppose only the new Volkl V-engines and the X-45 can honestly say someone is using a certain model because you can't paint in a throat V or an offset head.

We are very proud to announce that The Hospital has chosen NFI (Nashville Film Institute) over 3 other film schools to provide talented filmmakers in the making of this feature film.
Tommy Golden says of the decision to work with NFI Students, "It was a no brainer for me of course! I am a successful graduate of NFI and have 100 percent faith in the school. The students are true professionals and hard workers! Currently in class 0212 there are some really bright and shining upcoming stars, this is what we want to showcase.
When I was a student at NFI I was given the chance to work on a very small film, so I want to give back to the. I want to give the students that are very soon to graduate a chance to have a demo reel like no other when they graduate. Peace Out!"

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
In order to get an accurate diagnosis it is important to be able to describe your migraine symptoms to your doctor. It is helpful to track migraine occurrences (dates and times) and the details associated with migraines.
What time of day do the headaches occur?
What is the specific location of the headaches?
What do the headaches feel like?
How long do the headaches last?
Have there been changes in behavior or personality?
Do changes in position cause the headaches?
Do you have trouble sleeping?
Do you have a history of stress?
Are you currently experiencing an unusual amount of stress in your work, family, or personal life?
Is there a history of head trauma?
Procedures used to diagnose a migraine are generally used to rule out other possible causes of the symptoms. In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, some procedures that may be used include:
Blood tests. Various blood chemistry and other laboratory tests may be run to check for underlying conditions.
Sinus x-rays. A diagnostic imaging procedure to evaluate for congestion or other problems that may be corrected.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body.
Computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan). A diagnostic imaging procedure that uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce horizontal, or axial, images (often called slices) of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays.
Spinal tap (also called a lumbar puncture). A special needle is placed into the lower back, into the spinal canal, which is the area around the spinal cord. The pressure in the spinal canal and brain can then be measured. A small amount of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) can be removed and sent for testing to determine if there is an infection or other problems. CSF is the fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord.
Specific treatment for headaches will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Severity and frequency of the symptoms
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Drug therapy (medication)
Stress reduction
Dietary evaluation
Regular exercise
Cold packs applied to the skin
Pressure applied to the head
Biofeedback training
The ultimate goal of treatment is to stop headaches from occurring. Adequate headache management depends on the accurate identification of the type of headache and may include:
Avoiding known triggers, such as certain foods and beverages, lack of sleep, and fasting
Changing eating habits
Resting in a quiet, dark environment
Medications, as recommended by your doctor
Stress management
Migraine headaches may require specific medication management including:
Abortive medications. Medications, prescribed by your doctor, that act on specific receptors in blood vessels in the head and can stop a headache in progress.
Rescue medications. Medications purchased over-the-counter, such as analgesics (pain relievers), to stop the headache.
Preventive medications. Medications, prescribed by your doctor, that are taken daily to reduce the onset of severe migraine headaches.
Some migraines may require immediate medical attention, including hospitalization for observation, diagnostic testing, or even surgery. Treatment is individualized, depending on the severity and frequency of symptoms.

That cabbie, with his oblivious enthusiasm, thought we'd want to know that even in this heathen age, anyone who threatens the sexual order is doomed to die--if not by stoning or hanging, cold silence or a hot knife to the gut, God's wrath or the disease He unleashed, then by the very self in revulsion at its own transgression. Even a faggot would want to kill the faggot.

The Audible: Jim Donnan on fraud trial, why Florida is SEC sleeper
JUN 04, 2014 10:35a ET
Jim Donnan's football credentials run long.
He won the Division I-AA national championship in 1992 as Marshall's head coach. He coached Georgia from 1996-2000, going 48-19 in five seasons and winning all four bowl games the Bulldogs appeared in.
In 2009, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
But unfortunately, Donnan has been in the news recently for much more serious matters. Donnan was recently on trial, accused of 41 counts of mail fraud, wire fraud, securities fraud, money laundering and conspiracy in connection to an alleged investment scheme. In May, the former coach was found not guilty on all charges.
Donnan recently joined The Audible With Bruce Feldman to discuss the anguish of his public trial and the experience of being vilified publicly.
The conversation then turned to football, and Donnan discussed Georgia's 2014 outlook, why he thinks Florida is a sleeper to win the SEC East, Florida State's national title potential over the next five years, the best player he ever recruited and more.

Tail the gray whales on sightseeing tours from Everett
Doug Shurman / Island Adventure CRUISES
Gray whales linger in local waters to snack on ghost shrimp, offering a good opportunity to spot them as they wander.

About a dozen California gray whales feed in the rich waters between Everett and Whidbey Island every year at this time.
Island Adventure Cruises
Island Adventure Cruises offers three-hour whale-watching trips out of Everett now through mid-May.
About a dozen California gray whales, known as the Whidbey grays, make their way into this region seeking snacks of ghost shrimp, experts say.
That'll explain why you may just hear people looking out over Possession Bay and shouting: "Thar she blows!"
"We love this time of year," said Shane Aggergaard, the owner of Island Adventure Cruises. For the past five years, the company has launched whale-watching expeditions from Everett.
The three-hour tours begin departures today and are scheduled to continue through May 18.
The local waters, often within a few feet of the dock, are teeming with wildlife.
"Sometimes it takes a half-hour to get off the Navy pier," Aggergaard said. "It really is an amazing area."
It's typical to see harbor seals, sea lions, eagles, porpoises, an abundance of sea birds, and, of course, the magnificent whales.
Experts aren't exactly certain how this small subset of gray whales came to feed in the shallow tidal waters just off Everett.
Numbers vary from year to year, but about a dozen whales typically will spend a few months in between Whidbey Island and the Snohomish County coastline.
Several of the same individual whales have been spotted in these waters every year since 1990, the first year they were tracked, said John Calambokidis, a research biologist with Cascadia Research.
The Whidbey group is a fraction of the estimated gray whale population, about 20,000. The typical gray whale migrates from rich summer waters in the Bering Sea to wintering grounds off the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.
The 35-ton animals fast nearly all winter, so it makes sense that gray whales in the know would want a pit stop off Whidbey Island. All those shrimp make for a much-needed snack, Calambokidis said.
The whales, which can reach lengths of about 45 feet, probably eat about a ton each day.
They often feed when the tide is high, swimming close to the shoreline, said Howard Garrett, the co-founder of the Orca Network.
The whales squirt water at the mud, creating plumes of fertile, loosened muck. Then they suck in the ooze, filtering out nutrients to feed their impressive appetites.
"They use their mouth like a giant tongue and piston," Garrett said.
All this creates a terrific chance to observe the animals close to home.
"It's quite a unique opportunity," Calambokidis said.
The best way to watch the whales is either aboard a commercial whale-watching vessel or from the shore, he said. Private boaters may get too close, which not only endangers the animals but also could result in jail time or fines for the boater.
From the comfort of the Island Explorer 3, the ship used by Island Adventure Cruises, people can watch as the whales swim, dive and feed. Trained naturalists are aboard each trip to answer questions.
Gray whales tend to cruise gently along the surface, coming up to breathe every 15 seconds, before diving deeper for as long as about seven minutes, Aggergaard said.
When the whale resurfaces, he (the Whidbey whales all have been male) typically will blow spray nearly 30 feet in the air.
While impressive to see, the odor is anything but fresh.
"It smells really bad," Aggergaard said. "A gray whale has got the worst breath."
Trips to see orcas near the San Juan Islands can take all day. That's because orca pods travel hundreds of miles in search of food. The gray whales that feed in our waters usually find a favorite spot and stay put for weeks.
That means expeditions spot the whales quickly, and viewers get lots of time for photographing and observing, Aggergaard said.
Occasionally an orca pod may be wander this far south, or a stray humpback may drift by, but seeing a gray whale is all but guaranteed.
"They should expect to see gray whales," he said. "It's our highest sighting success."

Kieran Corcoran purchased this cottage in 2007
Have a long affiliation with this very special location in Kerry.
The perfect mix! Pick what you want of it....
We have stayed in over 20 different self catering homes in Ireland over the years and Lark Cottage was without doubt one of the best. We had some lovely weather but even on wet days there is plenty to do. Tralee town is only 15 mins drive away, much to the delight of my teenage daughter (never having enough to wear!)
A spot of rain didn't stop us from walks on the beach collecting shells, or sitting on the rocks down where the river runs into the sea, watching the fish jump in the evenings.
We spent a day in Dingle, only 1 hr away. The ocean world was good fun, my favourite was the giant turtle, he looked like a wise old man as he came down to inspect us, hubby liked the cod, so much so that he hasn't eaten any since, and princess loved the touch pool, until she smelled her hands! Then we went on the boat trip to see Fungi. It was a brilliant experience.
The cottage is in an ideal location as there are loads of places to go and some lovely places to eat. The fact that the Golf Club is only minutes away means you don't even have to drive if you want to go out for a drink. The food there is tops and the staff are very friendly.
For swimming, the beach is only a few minutes walk from the house or you can go to Banna strand but there are lots of other beaches around.
For us the icing on the cake was the house. If the house isn't right it doesn't matter about location or weather. A holiday is about the feel good factor and Alanda and Kieran really know how to treat their guests.
Lark Cottage is a beautiful home, very clean, comfortable and with stunning views. The attention to detail is first class. The guest book has information on everything you might need, from places to eat to the emergency numbers. The beds are very comfortable and it was great to be able to get a full nights sleep without the morning sun wakeneing you (or the children) at the crack of dawn. Why? Because there were proper curtains on the windows, not the usual flimsey things a lot of holiday homes hang on their windows.
We spent many hours just watching the the way the light changed on the mountains, or listening to the birds singing, or just relaxing reading a book, or sitting in the garden with a glass of wine.
We would like to thank Alanda and Kieran for a wonderful holiday, for being available any time we needed advice or had a problem. We wish you and your family all the best and hope to go back to the jewel we have found in 'The Kingdom' next year.
Our family spent our Summer vacation in Barrow, Co. Kerry at the lovely Lark Cottage. Our stay was beyond exceptional. The lovely cottage is situated in the shadows of the Slieve Mish mountains and borders the Tralee Golf Club. Our family enjoyed our coffee in the morning while watching the mountains uncover themselves. The living room picture windows frame those spectacular mountains and the beautiful Barrow Harbor. The has been thoughtfully appointed with all the furnishings and supplies we needed to feel at home- away from home. The large and well equipped kitchen allowed us to cook fresh lobster, mussels and crab claws from the fishermen in Fenit, while the proximity to the breathtaking beach allowed us to walk off all of those delicious meals. We found the cottage to be clean and well-maintained. Yard furniture allowed us to take advantage of some exceptionally clear skies during the day and moonlit nights outside. The fireplace in the living room welcomed us in the evening.
The owners of Lark Cottage were extremely accommodating with our inquiries. A library of reading material on the area, videos and music made us realize we could have left all of our reading material at home. The area offers unmatched scenery and touring and some great meals including Spa Seafood in Spa and Kate Browne's in Ardfert. We had enjoyable days touring the area including Ardfert Cathedral and St. Brendan's Well, Dingle town and Slea Head but the best part was coming back to the cottage and wandering the beach and dunes. The rugged beauty of Barrow and this corner of Kerry will never leave your soul. Staying at Lark Cottage was the perfect vacation for our family and we plan many returns.
FANTASTIC. We have primary school aged children who love the beach. The cottage was perfectly placed for us to walk down everyday and enjoy the sea and the surf. The walk was very safe for this age of child, with a nice grass verge along the road so they could walk back to the cottage if one wanted to return before the rest of us.
The cottage itself was also perfect for our needs. The sleeping accommodation is nicely in one wing of the cottage so once the smaller members of the party were abed, the adults didn't have to worry about disturbing them whilst cheering on the olympians on the TV. The second sitting room meant children could entertain themselves away from us or away from each other at times. And the sitting area in the main bedroom provided yet a third space for retreat from other family members when needed. The garden was lovely and large for running around, playing football and other games. The views from the lovely light and airy sitting/dining room were divine - so much better to look at the Dingle peninsula than to be on it ! The Rose of Tralee festival brought street markets and theatre which we all enjoyed. We met Funghi the Dolphin which particularly thrilled the children and on a clear day we climbed Caherconree for yet another stunning view. On rainy days, Tralee provided a cinema and the aquadome to amuse. But best of all, from the gates of Lark Cottage we met some wonderful and generous Kerry residents. By the end of three weeks, none of us wanted to leave. A perfect family holiday for all.
We have enjoyed two wonderful weeks in Lark Cottage. The house, the landscape, simply everything has been perfect to us and our sons (2 and 4 years old).
Many thanks to the owners who gave us so much support when required.
The house is just huge, the interior complete, the garden has been a big playground for our sons. The ocean is just a short walk away.
We can recommend Lark Cottage to everyone who wants to spend its holiday in Ireland, County Kerry.
I would like to thank Kieren and Alanda for making our summer
holiday 2009 so so enjoyable. One very important part of our holiday is not that the sun has to shine every minute or more but that we as a family on holiday have no stress or no big
disappointments, and our accommodation this year in Lark cottage certainly came up trumps! Lark cottage was, if not more; exactly what it promised to be, with a great supply of information there to help you from A to Z , and very helpful and friendly owners at the other end of the phone for any query what more can you have? I really do not want to go too over board in writing this review as I definitely would like to return to Lark Cottage and I do not want to be disappointed if I cant get my booking in because there will be too many before me!!!!!
Would I recommend Lark Cottage? Yes of course I would.
Whose look for peace and activity must choose Lark cottage which showes what is Ireland. A clean, clear and well sightseeing house in a wonderful country with kind people. For golfers they have 4 courses at 1 hour round and large beaches for children.
A french family
There is so much to do in this beautiful scenic location. It is a great touring base to explore the Kingdom of Kerry but at the same time it is in such a lovely location you may not want to travel too far! As well as being surrounded by views of Tralee Bay, Brandon Head, the Sliabh Mish Mountains and Kerry Head you will be within walking distance of secluded Barrow beach which connects with Banna Beach which is renowned for it's surfing and beautiful Ballyheighue beach.
Tralee Town is only 20 minutes drive away with all the amenities you would expect from a bustling market town. For indoor activities you can choose from the Kerry County Museum, The Aqua Dome for water slides and a cinema to name a few.
At the cottage you will also overlook Tralee Golf Club which was designed by Arnold Palmer. The are several other golf clubs within the area and Ballybunion and Killarney Golf Courses are within 30 minutes drive.
There are a number of traditional and seafood pubs and restaurants in the locality and Tralee Golf Course serves meals all day if you fancy breakfast overlooking the 1st tee.
Fenit Harbour is less than 15 minutes drive and has a popular Marina and relaxed atmosphere. The Sailing School in particular is very active during the summer season. Sea Angling is accessible through this port and River Fishing on the River Feale is available in Listowel approximately 30 minutes drive away.

China's consumer prices fall, lending spree eases
SHANGHAI China's bout of deflation persisted in April, as consumer prices fell 1.5 percent from elevated levels a year earlier, but analysts said they expect prices to start heading upward later in the year.
The central bank, meanwhile, reported Monday that new bank lending in April was less than a third that of the month before, as lenders slowed the flow of credit aimed at stimulating flagging growth.
The consumer price index, which is heavily weighted toward food, fell for the third month in a row after declining 1.2 percent in March and 1.6 percent in February, the National Statistics Bureau reported.
Food prices fell 1.3 percent, with prices for meat falling 13.5 percent, the bureau said in a statement on its Web site.
Prices for pork, China's staple meat, plunged 28.6 percent in April after peaking a year ago following an outbreak of blue ear disease, also known as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, that prompted many farmers to stop raising pigs.
Producer prices, a key indicator of price trends, fell 6.6 percent in April from a year earlier, compared with 6.0 percent in March, thanks largely to lower energy costs.
Overall, costs for fuel and raw materials fell 9.6 percent in April, the report said.
While a protracted bout of deflation would be unwelcome, April's decline was expected, and the data initially helped push share prices higher Monday.
But the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index fell back later in the day as investors sold shares to cash in on recent gains, ending 1.8 percent lower at 2,579.75.
Deflation is expected to persist in China for several more months due to excess inventory in many industries amid the global economic downturn. Sharp declines in crude oil prices and costs for other commodities will ensure that.
But signs of economic recovery in China suggest a reduced risk for a prolonged bout of lower prices that could drag growth lower if consumers put off purchases in expectation of lower prices, forcing companies to cut wages and investment, economists say.
The government has pumped billions of dollars into construction projects and other spending aimed at stimulating demand and propping up growth.
Although growth dipped to 6.1 percent in January-March, its lowest level in at least a decade, improvements in manufacturing, auto sales and real estate data are seen as signs the strategy has begun to work, despite persistently weak demand for Chinese exports in overseas markets.
"Deflationary concerns appear to be subsiding as the economy shows signs of recovery," Jing Ulrich, chairwoman for China equities at J.P.Morgan said in a report to clients.
"Consumer prices should show an uptrend in the second half of the year. Importantly, expectations of rising prices in the future will encourage consumer spending," Ulrich said.
Government moves to liberalize controls on utility rates and fuel prices, which have been kept lower than global levels, will also push prices higher, she said.
"It's too early to say, but we are worried that prices will begin to rebound by midyear, leading to inflation" rather than deflation, said Gao Yi, an analyst at Oriental Securities in Shanghai.

Restaurant at Whale Motor Inn: Great Food with a View
While madam checked into the Whale Motor Inn, the driver took a quick squiz at the on-site restaurant. All looked good with outstanding view, quality tablewear, interesting decor and a menu offering a good choice of product including seafood. An invitation to dine no where else that night.
The menu offers a choice of eight Entrees ranging from AUD11-16. Oysters natural 6 for $11- twelve $19 - cooked $13 & $22.
Eight Mains are offered ranging in price from $21 for Pasta to $28 for steak. A Seafood Platter for 2 people - $90. Dessert looked pretty inviting with a choice of five (average $9) & cheese plate $15.
Vegetarians are catered for.
There is a fair range of wines available priced from $25 to 75 a bottle. Champagne $90 & 120.
There is a choice of five white & four red wines by the glass for $7.
Although I did not check personally, there is probably access for wheel chairs as the motel has a unit with facilities for people with wheel chairs.
Favorite Dish: Chef, Peter Gallop's offerings were eagerly awaited and we were not disappointed. Madam chose two entrees rather than a main. She started with Twice Cooked three cheese & chive soufflé with matured cheddar, blue & grana padena cheeses in a creamy chive sauce $11.00.
He chose Oysters to start & for main the Confit of Yellowfin Tuna on sweet spud mash with rocket pesto. Madam's second course : Sesame Tempura King Prawns with a miso cucumber salad & a ponzu dipping sauce $16.00.
We chose to drink wine by the glass starting with a couple of 200ml bottles of Sir James Sparkling. I tried and enjoyed a local South Coast wine - Elysium Wines Rose - Mossy Point Winery NSW $26.00/bot or $ 7.00/glass.
Unusually, we were tempted by the dessert menu & shared Warm Apple Fritters with rhubarb compote & double cream $8.00 washed down by Miranda Golden Botrytis 2002 375ml $25.00 by the Glass $9.50.
All in all a most satisfying meal. I have no hesitation in recommending The Whale. As they say in the old Michelin Guides "worth a detour" to experience!

The long-pending Mani to Sampaje road, which would offer seamless connectivity to Mysore, will be complete by the end of May, said officials of the Karnataka Road Development Corporation Limited at the District Vigilance and Monitoring Committee meeting held here on Thursday.
Drawing some flak from Member of Parliament Nalin Kumar Kateel, who chaired the meeting, the officials were directed to complete all works before the onset of monsoon. Of the 72 km, only 35 km have been completed so far.
"The contractor said internal problems were delaying the work. We have given him till end of May to complete the works," said the officials.
However, Mr. Kateel pointed out that the works even in the completed portions between Mani and Kabaka were incomplete in patches, while Deputy Commissioner N. Prakash accused KRDCL of not exerting enough pressure on the contractor to ensure that the works were completed. The officials said the 400-m Puttur bypass would be completed by the end of February and potholes on the "completed stretch" would be patched by March 15.
National Highway officials said Rs. 13 crore had been allotted for the work on Shiradi Ghat, and would be completed by April, while the Bellare to Sullia road would be completed by March 15.
The MP was told that although a proposal of Rs. 54.5 crore for 82.4 km had been sent to the Union government under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, funds had not been released in the last three-and-a-half years; whereas under the State Government's "Namma Grama Namma Raste" scheme, a majority of works of the 212.86 km of road, at a cost of Rs. 109.22 crore, would be completed by the end of March. Among major buildings slated to be completed soon in the district were the new district court building by April and Puttur and Mangalore mini Vidhana Soudha by May.

How do I provide my TV MAC address to my airport extreme router?
I just purchased a new mitsubishi tv and want to access internet/apps on my tv. The instruction say, "Obtain the TV MAC address and provide it to the router." How do I do that?
- Asked by Mary S from Grand Rapids
QA AirPort Extreme Base Station
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
First off I'm guessing that your TV is not wireless enabled, so you will have to connect the TV to your router via a cable. Once the cable is connected, just:
Disable your MacAddress filter, -->
Restart the router, -->
View connected devices (which will be displayed by Mac Address) -->
Enter the Mac Address of your TV in the Mac Address filter section of the router-->
Enable Mac Address and Restart
If your TV does support WiFi then just do the same as above.
The Mac Address filter is not enabled by default, so please check you are setting up the devices correctly.

Proper Storage Of Flour
Posted 10 July 2005 - 08:04 PM
I hope you haven't had this experience but I went to use my sorgum flour yesterday and found moths crawling in it. My roomate says that they can hatch in flour. I don't know how they got in there. My problem is I share the refrigerator with three roomates which means there is no room in the freezer for all my new flours. How can I store them safely without putting them in the freezer? What is the shelf life if it's not rerfrigerated?

My first mistake was thinking that those Pantry Pest traps were of any use. Don't bother. They only catch about 1/8 of the males!!! Still plenty of sperm around for the lady moths. ugh.
Secondly, the exterminator came... three times... also worthless. The caterpillars/eggs/moths were in places that the exterminator never touched.
Thirdly, no caterpillar is going to be in the slightest bit detered by a ziplock bag. You need heavy duty plastic containers with airtight lids.
Fourthly, the darn things don't just get into the flour, they get into rice, chocolate, dried fruit and nuts, spices, baked and packaged goods like cereal and cookies etc.
The moths get into your house through the products you buy at the health food store. They don't use pesticides on the organic stuff and the health food store doesn't use usually use pesticides in the store. The caterpillars crawl through the crevices on cartons and make cocoons in the creases of the corners (like between the plastic liner and the carton of a cereal box). When the moth is formed, there's a ready source of food available and they look for mates and places to lay eggs, with more ready sources of food.
Freezing kills the eggs. Think extra protein. What we had to do was throw just about everything out, and put the rest in the freezer. All new products go either into the freezer or are put into rubbermaid containers as soon as they come into the house. My whole pantry is full of tubs and cereal dispensers and the like. I watch for the "pterodactyls" (which is what we call them) like a hawk. I keep the traps as a monitoring device. If there are a lot of moths in the trap, you can be sure that there's about fifteen more times that flying around in the house. I also watch the corner/edges of where the walls meet the ceilings. New caterpillars tend to crawl up there to make their cocoons. When the exterminator came, he would spray along the wall and ceiling.
Stay vigilant! It's a war! Good luck

While the suggestion to keep many gluten-free flours in the fridge or freezer primarily stems from the higher fat content of some of them (the fat will go rancid fairly quickly in warm weather), it will also help keep the eggs from hatching. If you can't keep them in the freezer, grab what space you can in the fridge. If you run out of space in the fridge, find a cool, dark place, and keep them sealed as tightly as possible, getting out whatever air of the container that you can. (Definitely keep ground flax meal in the freezer. I would say the same for nut meal - at the very least, in the fridge. The fat content makes it less shelf-stable.)
That, and using it up quickly! :-)

KenRitter- Go here to see info on flours and storage. I copied storage exerpt below. http://www.wholeheal...523,303,00.html
Potato flour, arrowroot, tapioca, water-chestnut flour, white rice flour, and corn flour can be stored at room temperature for 6 to 12 months in a tightly covered container. Any whole-grain flour keeps for less than a month at room temperature, so store it in a tightly covered container in the freezer; it will stay fresh for up to a year. You can use the flour directly from the freezer.

"For the moment, momentum seems to favor Bush. Members of his inner circle said yesterday that they envisioned a tantalizing possibility: seizing the lead and refusing to let Kerry regain ground in the 58 days left, and running an offense through at least the end of September to widen gains in battleground states such as Missouri, West Virginia, and Arizona."
"If Bush can move those states into his column, he can concentrate on states like Wisconsin and Minnesota, which Democrat Al Gore narrowly captured in 2000."
In Sunday's New York Times Week in Review, James Dao looked at how the focus on the Rust Belt states as the campaigns focus on the battlegrounds has changed the debate on politics from national to regional — which could alienate voters whose states are more solidly red or blue — or at least a little less purple. LINK
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Times' Peter Wallsten and Matea Gold wrapped the weekend's campaigning in Ohio, where Medicare took center stage, with Bush defending his plan and Kerry slamming it for hiking premiums. LINK
Time magazine's Jyoti Thottam compares the Bush and Kerry economic plans. LINK
ABC News Vote 2004: Bush-Cheney re-elect:
President Bush is in Poplar Bluffs, MO, today, where he will focus on his small business agenda as part of the Post -convention "Opportunity Tour." Vice President Cheney hits up Minneapolis for a town hall meeting and then heads on to Clear Lake, Iowa for a Labor Day picnic. No Republican presidential candidate has won Minnesota since 1972 or Iowa since 1984 but BC04 campaign Notes "the race in both states is within the margin of error today."
The Washington Post 's Mike Allen wraps this weekend's comments by President Bush, indicating that a flat tax and a national sales tax could be part of his second-term tax overhaul plan. LINK
Revenue neutral, to be sure, but what about those distribution tables???
Bob Hillman of the Dallas Morning News observes that when President Bush calls the tax code a "complicated mess," it's "a guaranteed crowd pleaser, drawing hoots and hollers everywhere. LINK
But, Hillman Notes, Bush "offered no details Sunday during a re-election campaign rally at the Parkersburg High School football stadium. Nor have his aides offered more than a two-page fact sheet of tax reform priorities and principles" since the RNC.
The New York Post 's Ian Bishop leads with the president's claim that John Kerry would raise taxes on 900,000 "small businesses," but neglects to include Phil Singer's at-the-ready response. LINK
Despite the fact that there were no obvious Kerry supporters at his rally in Parkersburg yesterday, Joe Curl of the Washington Times reports that President Bush reached out to Democrats and independent voters there, saying they were "welcome." LINK
The AP's Laura Meckler Notes that Vice President Cheney "will be key to turning out the Republican base this November." LINK
But campaign officials tell Meckler that Cheney will also be deployed to persuade undecideds.
Meckler reports that "[o]ver the next two months, Cheney plans to travel as many as five days each week to battleground states. He will go to conservative areas where President Bush runs strong, and to some areas where the race is tighter," according to chief strategist Matt Dowd.

A district court in Arizona has upheld an ESOP Committee's decision to amend the timing and manner in which terminated employees' company stock accounts are converted to other investments. Prior to the amendment, the ESOP provided the committee with the discretion at any time to "determine (based upon a nondiscriminatory policy) that the Accounts of former Employees will be diversified and invested in Trust Assets other than [Company] Stock." The district court found that the Committee's actual practice was to convert investments as soon as the ESOP had sufficient cash to do so. The amendment in May 2007 provides that a terminated participant's company stock will be converted to other investments effective at the end of the plan year in which the participant terminates employment. The plaintiff was a participant who was considering whether to participate in a reduction in force (RIF) in September 2006. The plaintiff was told by a member of the Committee that it would take approximately two years for the account to be converted. Since the plan year ended in September, the plaintiff expected her account would not be converted to other investment until 2007 or 2008. When the Committee amended the policy in May 2007, the change was applied to all terminated employees, and so the plaintiff's account was converted as of September 30, 2006. The plaintiff filed the lawsuit seeking the increase in the stock value from 2006 to 2007.
The plaintiff based her claim on at least two legal arguments under ERISA...

Lesson 1
Objective: Setting. Most of "Homesick" takes place in China and the last two chapters take place in America in the early 1900's. The objective of this lesson is to look at setting.
1. Homework. Students will rewrite the basic plot of "Homesick" and set it in another era, explaining how the different setting changes the work. For example, what would have been different if it had been set in the 1950's?
2. Class discussion. Could this book had been set anywhere? How does the setting make this a unique story? How do the people in China differ from the students' hometown? How did the setting affect the characters? The plot? The themes? Why is the setting important?
3. Group work. In groups students will research a setting that might be similar and discuss the ways in which Jean's life would have been different set in another time or place.

What you might not know about Brazilian Girlssinger Sabina Sciubba, keyboard-ist Didi Gutman, bassist Jesse Murphy, and drummer Aaron Johnstonis that they remember an age when acts like Deee-Lite and Pizzicato Five ruled the American hipster's psyche, back before indie rock died and way before it was born again. On their self-titled debut the band swirl together juicy bits of whatever they hear wafting through the trendy neighborhoods they frequent: "Dance Till the Morning Sun" is anchored by a buzzy Wax Trax! bassline and threads polite G-funk keyb trills through a Masters at Work synth wash; "Don't Stop" underpins a hopeful dream-pop vocal with nimble, broken-beat drum-machine pitter-patter; "Pussy" itself feeds a slack-jawed reggae groove through French house's filter-disco effect.
At first blush the band's privileged cross-pollinating calls up memories of heady late-'90s tech-bubble days and the callow cultural tourism that once sold a shitload of Bebel Gilberto CDs. But listen closer and you hear that they don't sound overly impressed with their own style-mag heterogeneity; they rarely overstuff a track (especially at the expense of its forward motion), and Sciubba, who sings in five different languages throughout the album, never seems less enthused than she'd want us to be. The flip side of this sophisticated guilelessness, of course, is that Sciubba and her bandmates (who wear blindfolds in the album art) never seem terribly interested in the implications of their fusion. Like Deee-Lite and P5, they want to believe in the innocence of a global village, despite continued evidence of its infinite capacity for disappointment. As Americans (even hyphenated ones), insisting that groove resides only in the heart is an easy, unsatisfactory act. Sort of like masterbating.

Pune: The idea of constructing the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) lane on the Pune-Ahmednagar road was for faster movement of traffic. However, the lane is not operative and to make matters worse, travel distance for commuters on the Ahmendnagar Road has increased, as right openings on the stretch of Shastrinagar to Vimannagar have been closed.
Commuters staying in Viman nagar and Kalyani Nagar area have to travel nearly 1.5 kilometers extra if they have to go to the opposite lane on Nagar road, which not only increase travel time by around 15 minutes, but also adds on to the cost of fuel and traffic congestion.
The chowk at Hotel Hyatt is not the only chowk where right turn for vehicles is banned.
Team dna visited the Nagar road only to find that this is indeed the case. The team also observed that some commuters opt for shortcuts to avoid travelling the extra distance, which can be dangerous.
The traffic department claims that there is not much that can be done about this situation. Senior police inspector (traffic planning), Rajendra Kamire said,"The BRTS lane is designed in such a way that there is fast movement of buses from one corridor to another, therefore there is no scope of open punctures. That is why commuters who are using private vehicles are facing the issue of traveling extra kilometers."
Experts speak
Speaking to dna,Qaneez Sukhrani, convenor of Viman Nagar Citizens Forum, who has been quite active on the BRTS route for a long time said, "It is essential that subways and grade separators should be constructed for commuters who are traveling on the route. All the open punctures have been closed so that private vehicles should not enter the BRTS lane, however alternative arrangements should be made and it should be well executed with proper planning, which will make it a win-win situation for the citizens."
President of the National Society for Clean Cities (NSCC) Satish Khot said, "There has to be proper planning for smoother vehicular movement in the area and convenience of private vehicle commuters also should be taken into consideration."
Vox Populi
Ashish Raisinghani (40), resident of Kalyani nagar said,"Everyday I have to travel about two kilometer extra before I could reach to the place from where I have to take the turn for my residence. It is a nightmare that we have to live with every single day."
Datta parasad Palini (30), resident of Viman Nagar said,"There right turn at the major junction like aga khan palace, Ramwadi junction should have been open unless the BRTS does not start there was no sense in closing the right turn, due to this thousand of commuters traveling on the route have to face a tough time."
Anwita Singh (23), resident of Kalyani nagar said,"It is a tough task to travel on this route as the road is chopper blocked during the peak hours, on an average it takes me more than 15 minutes before I can take a U turn, in the process i loose my time, money on fuel."

Nissan is recalling 2002–2004 Frontier and Exterra models due to corrosion in the lower steering column joint that can limit movement of the joint, resulting in excessive load. This can lead to cracking of the shaft, which may result in loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash. Nissan will replace the steering column shaft and joint with a different design, free of charge.
Nissan Recalls
Nissan is recalling 2010–2011 Sentra models due a machining irregularity on the bolt/washer surface of the positive battery terminal cable end that causes a gap to occur in the contact area of the terminal. This may cause the engine to stop running while the vehicle is in motion at low speed with a hard or no start, which increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the positive battery terminal cable end with a new one, free of charge.
Nissan is recalling 2008–2010 models equipped with Garmin Nuvi 750 navigation systems because the battery may overheat, which could lead to a fire. Nissan will notify owners and Garmin technicians will replace the unit's battery and insert a spacer to prevent the problem from reoccurring. This will be performed free of charge.
Nissan is recalling 2009–2010 Cube models for failing to meet federal safety requirements on fuel system integrity. When the vehicle was rotated following a rear-moving barrier crash test (a test required by the government), the amount of fuel leakage exceeded the allowable limits. Fuel leakage could result in a fire. Dealers will install a special protector and attach it to the gasoline recirculation tube, free of charge.
Nissan is recalling 2010 Armada models for failing to comply with federal safety requirements concerning seating systems. The second row center seat hinge was manufactured out of specification, which may prevent the rear center seat back from fully locking in the in-use, or upright, position. This increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash. Dealers will inspect the hinge/lock and, if needed, install a new one.
Nissan is recalling 2010 Frontier King Cab models for failing to comply with federal safety standards concerning child restraint anchorage systems. The weld between the tether anchor and seat gusset bracket is out of specification. This can cause the tether anchorage to separate from the vehicle seat, increasing the risk of injury. The tether anchorage will be replaced free of charge.
46 vehicles have been recalled due to incorrect installation of passenger side airbag propellant. Road vibration to the inflation mechanism can degrade the propellant, causing too much pressure to the airbag when activated in a crash. Injury may result from higher pressures to the airbag and from a rupturing inflator which could strike a passenger. Dealers will replace the airbag assembly free of charge.
The A-pillar trim finishers may impede proper side curtain air bag deployment. This could cause occupant injury during a collision. Dealers will replace the A-pillar finishers. This recall began on August 16, 2010.
Nissan is recalling certain 2004 - 2010 Titan, Armada, & QX56 vehicles. Also included are 2005 - 2010 Frontier, Xterra, and Pathfinder vehicles for faulty front and/or rear suspension lower control arms. The problem is the control arm's attaching point to the vehicle's chassis. During the manufacturing process, some control arms may contain welds that do not meet Nissan's strength specs, and if they break, it may result in loss of vehicle control, and a possible crash.
Welds on the mounting collars of the front lower control arm may not meet specifications. A failed control arm increases the risk of a crash. Dealers will repair the vehicles as necessary. This recall is scheduled to begin by May 20, 2010.
