Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. Cut an X in blossom end of each tomato and in a saucepan of boiling water blanch 10 seconds. With a slotted spoon transfer tomatoes to ice water to stop cooking. Peel tomatoes and seed and chop. Chop onion.
In a 1-quart saucepan bring tomatoes, onion, jelly, vinegar, tarragon, red pepper flakes, and salt to a boil over moderately low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until thick, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool jam to room temperature. Jam keeps, covered and chilled, 1 month. Bring jam to room temperature before serving.
Prepare grill. Season mackerel fillets with salt and pepper and grill, skin sides down, on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through, 9 to 13 minutes. (Do not turn fish.)
Serve each fillet topped with 2 tablespoons jam.

'Walking Dead' alums Sarah Wayne Callies, Jon Bernthal had a cast reunion at Comic-ConAdd to Favorites | The Walking Dead
It turns out San Diego Comic-Con was about a lot more than attending panels for your favorite TV shows and movies. It was also a place to house a very special reunion.
The cast of "The Walking Dead" was able to reconnect with some of their dearly departed during the convention. Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori) and Jon Bernthal (Shane) were both in San Diego and got the chance to reconnect with their former cast members.
During a roundtable interview at the "Into the Storm" junket, Callies tells Zap2it, "We were all together at Comic-Con, which was a trip. Jon was there for 'Fury', which looks amazing. I was there for this and they were there for 'The Walking Dead' extravaganza."
She continues, "We all got together and had dinner and there's a lot of love there. A lot of love there. I see Norman [Reedus] quite a bit and Andy [Lincoln]'s family and my family are really close. I think those are bonds that will hopefully last for quite a while."
While they caught up, Callies was also reminded of a promise she made when auditioning for "Into the Storm." "Melissa McBride actually taped me in her trailer," she remembers. "I jokingly said, 'If I get this I'm going to get you a bottle of wine.' Then I saw her last week at Comic-Con and she said, 'Where's my wine?' So I'm going to send her a nice bottle of wine soon."
It's good to know that even those eaten by walkers can still count the survivors among their friends.
"Into the Storm" is in theaters Aug. 8.

Oregon advocates: Allow medical marijuana for veterans with PTSD
Jared Townsend, a 27-year-old Iraq War veteran, says he depends on medical marijuana to help him sleep and, as he puts it, "balance life out a little bit better."
The Hillsboro, Ore., man qualifies for medical marijuana due to severe pain from a ruptured disc and injured shoulder, injuries from his 2007-08 combat tour. But the drug is a bigger help with his symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder.
"If I get racing thoughts and real worked up, it can break a panic attack pretty quick," Townsend said.
Oregon medical marijuana advocates say many veterans with the disorder are already in the state program because, like Townsend, they have other medical conditions that allow them to legally use the drug.
But as more veterans return home and struggle to resume their lives, advocates say it's time to recognize PTSD as a stand-alone condition. Read the full story in The Oregonian about how they are laying the groundwork to add PTSD to the list of conditions that qualify patients to use medical marijuana.

Revenue-Optimized, Problem-Free Email Marketing Is Here
Synchronicity Marketing offers Private Email and Digital Marketing Coaching,
Mentoring, and Advisory Services at Three Levels
Click an icon above to jump to a detailed program description or click here for a downloadable Coaching Programs Comparison
Why Coaching?
What works in email and other inbound digital marketing channels can seem like it's changing by the hour. One minute email is dead . . . the next it's producing 50% of your revenue. Social is all the rage, then mobile, then content marketing – but are they all "right" for your business – and what about using them together? It can be confusing if not impossible to diagnose your own problems let alone research, evaluate and reveal the best tactics, tools and vendors to truly optimize revenue.
Could you be making one of these three common mistakes when it comes to your marketing?
- The Shotgun
Flirting with too many different tactics minus commitment to any of them, and after nothing works (which it inevitably won't), abandoning them all
- The Silo
Rigid, narrow focus on a single "silver bullet" tactic; or, the disjointed use of multiple channels (like email, social media and mobile) without connecting and leveraging them for maximum impact
- The "If I Build It They Will Come"
It's not enough simply to create an email program if your subscribers aren't interacting with it. Inboxes are more crowded than ever before, so what you send to them needs to be designed to engage
If so, it's no wonder you might be struggling with or not realizing the full revenue potential of your digital channels!
Synchronicity Marketing's Coaching Programs steer you clear of these pitfalls and oversights. Coaching guides you through surmounting the challenges or obstacles you're facing with expert advice, feedback and education from Karen Talavera.
Then, Karen applies her proprietary signature process for email marketing performance improvement to your existing programs to create an email or multi-channel digital marketing blueprint that makes sense for your business and delivers the results you've been dreaming of!

What Will Coaching Do for You?
Here's just a sample of the goals you can achieve with Coaching from Synchronicity Marketing, many in only a few sessions:
- Create your email marketing message plan for the month, quarter or year
- Boost email performance with insight into better offer strategy and program design
- Implement advanced revenue-producing technologies and tactics such as SendTime Optimization, Real-Time Dynamic Content Customization, or NLP Up-Sell and Cross-Sell Triggers (if you're not sure what some of these are, we should definitely talk!)
- Dissect email list hygiene, permission or deliverability problems and diagnose a solution
- Discover your optimal email and/or social media cadence – timing, frequency and rest intervals
- Connect email and social media for greater audience reach and channel contribution
- Implement or integrate content marketing into your mix
- Gain creative insight via critiques on email message creative, social network pages/presence, and sign-up or landing page design
- Learn what to measure, properly analyze the metrics you already have, and identify what you're missing
- Develop email marketing best practices, internal guidelines, or quality control processes
- Uncover the best mix of resources (staff or otherwise) to meet your needs and support your growth
Or, we can focus on a key area of your marketing plan week by week, with weekly accountability goals, until you've achieved your objectives or feel ready to go it alone.

Why Karen Should Be Your Coach
Some of the unique advantages Karen delivers over both traditional consultants and email marketing vendor professional services departments are:
- Real-time strategic direction as you're implementing new programs or testing new strategies rather than only at a particular point in time
- In-depth hands-one analysis or project assistance (i.e., results analysis, creative reviews, etc.)
- Professional training and education
- Connections and personal introductions to the leading advanced email applications, specialty services and value-added resources in the industry (such as Send-Time Optimization, Email List Hygiene, Competitive Intelligence, Dynamic Customization and Behaviorally-Driven Email applications and more)
- An unbiased, vendor-agnostic point of view
- Assistance with developing detailed action plans for specific programs like Lead Nurturing, New Customer Onboarding, Content Marketing, Testing, or Email Newsletters
Karen Talavera is an experienced email marketing expert with over a decade in online marketing and more than twenty years as a direct marketing professional (see Karen's many credentials here).
She comes to the coaching relationship as a partner and outside expert for as long as you need to teach skills, answer questions, brainstorm and collaborate, make recommendations, and challenge your assumptions as necessary to help improve performance and reach your goals. You might work together for a few months or an entire year – it's totally up to you.
Karen often works in "hybrid" mode, as a coach-consultant which means you and she will collaborate yet could both individually implement separate tasks or steps in a process. You get the best of all worlds: advice and expertise when you need it, concrete deliverables, motivation and brainstorming when you're stuck, and insight to build you and your business to your highest potential.

RECALL: 96K Fisher-Price Toys
By Jackie Burrell
Thursday, August 5th, 2010 at 3:16 pm in Toy Recalls.
Fisher-Price and the federal consumer safety folks just recalled 96,000 of these Little People Play 'n Go Campsite toys. The plastic doll can break apart at the waist, exposing small parts that can pose a choking hazard. The problem seems confined to the Sonya Lee dolly in this set, not the tent or other play pieces, so if you've got one of these, remove the doll and contact Fisher-Price for a new one. Perhaps Barbie and Ken would like to go camping instead…

Last night I attend a flower design class and book signing offered by West Elm here is Portland. The Flower Recipe Book written by the magically creative owners of San Francisco's Studio Choo, is a must buy for all of you DIY crafty people. This book is exactly what is says. . . a recipe book, giving you 100 floral bouquet outlines as well as detailed descriptions of 42 flowers. This book is simple to follow and the designs are so fresh and on trend.
Alethea and Jill began the class with some design and structure basic then we all jumped in to create our own bouquet with a recipe for local Oregon flowers. It was such a treat to get the pros insights and feedback as we worked on our arrangements. The results were delightful! Here is the front and back of my bouquet that I photographed in my studio this morning.
Between the fabulous class and the gorgeous flower design book, I am totally inspired! Thanks West Elm for hosting this event and thank you Alethea and Jill for sharing your gifts. ~ Lia

An american scientist last week unveiled a new technique for storing data with a capacity far higher than any existing methods. The technique could allow a device to store 10 billion bits of data - the equivalent of more than 31 000 pages of typewritten text - per square centimetre of the recording medium.
The best memory chips on sale at the moment can store just 4 million bits of data, while hard magnetic discs squeeze in 10 million bits per square centimetre and optical discs around 5.5 million bits per square centimetre.
The technique stores small quantities of charge in a thin layer of insulator using an atomic force microscope. The AFM, invented in 1986, can produce images of the atoms on a solid surface by resting an extremely fine metal tip on the surface and then dragging it back and forth over an area of the surface.

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure the phrase "Internet of Things" started life as the title of a presentation I made at Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 1999. Linking the new idea of RFID in P&G's supply chain to the then-red-hot topic of the Internet was more than just a good way to get executive attention.

A Girard man who was hit by a car on Church Hill Road said he never saw it coming.
David Blair, 21, was struck about 4 a.m. Sunday as he was walking across the Route 11 overpass.
The car did not stop. Blair said he was able to find help despite injuries that include a broken ankle, a sprained knee, bruises and road rash.
Blair said he was walking west toward his home in Girard. The car was traveling east, according to a police report.
Blair was looking down at his phone.
"I remember hearing the car hit me, and I got up and was sitting in the snow. I was in shock," he said.
Blair said he tried to wave down a car, but it would not stop.
"I went to a house right past the bridge," he said. He asked the homeowner to call an ambulance and waited on the porch until one came.
Liberty Fire Department personnel took Blair to St. Elizabeth Health Center, the police report indicates.
He was released Monday evening.
Blair said that while he was in the hospital, a Liberty police officer brought him his phone and told him police have debris from the car.
He said he does not know if police have any leads, adding that he has left a message with a detective.
A Liberty police spokesman could not be reached Thursday.
Blair's mother, Kathy, is urging people who know anything about the hit-and-run to call Liberty police.
"We need to get this person," she said.
"I really would like to know who did this," Blair said. "They just left me there."
He'd have to be in shock if he had a phone & asked someone to call help for him.I would like to see the driver caught.If he was drinking & driving when it happened,regardless if theres alcohol in his system,they can't prove he was D&D.
Darwinism at work. Man walking in road texting hit by car whose driver was distracted by a very important text message about a sale at the mall.
The process of natural selection is alive and we'll in the land of oz.
Doesn't give someone the right to hit him and leave. One of Darwin's earliest specimens.
HUbbard-Churchill / 304 is a dangerous road for pedestrians. There are no sidewalks, it's a narrow two lane blacktop and cars speed. Given how many people walk along this road it really should have sidewalks.
social darwinism would make Darwin vomit. It is also the justification used by the Nazis to conquer and destroy "inferior" people. The driver was probably drunk.
Agreed JRB at four in the morning more than likely both were intoxicated. Sooner or later the driver will be caught. Somebody will notice the damage to the car and put two and two together.
A lot of assumptions going on here. The pedestrian has the right to walk at 3, 4, or 5am, it really isn't an issue. Plus if he was intoxicated, I am sure that would have been mentioned in the report. The only thing that I blame him for is that he shouldn't have been walking and texting period, even if he was on a sidewalk. Hopefully he wasn't dressed all in black either.

Busy time for crop insurersAgents played pivotal role in area's wet planting season
By: Jonathan Knutson, Agweek
Upper Midwest crop insurance agents always are busy during spring planting. But this spring was particularly hectic for them in areas hit by heavy rains and planting delays.
"There were a lot of conversations going on" between agents and their clients, says Michael Kozojed, an agent with Ihry Insurance in Hillsboro, N.D.
He and other area crop insurance agents say many producers will file prevented planting claims on at least some of their fields. It's hard to estimate how many prevented planting acres there are, however, because some area farmers were able to make a final planting push in mid-June, Kozojed and others say.
Even in a normal spring, farmers consult with their crop insurance agents to make sure planting decisions mesh with the federal crop insurance program. Planting conditions were so volatile this spring, however, that many farmers needed to revamp their planting decisions, forcing repeat visits with their insurance agents.
Dan Weber, a Casselton, N.D., agent and national director of the Professional Insurance Agents of North Dakota, says farmers in his immediate area generally were able to plant their fields. He also says he knows, through conversations with other agents around the region, that many farmers weren't so fortunate.
"It's nothing but luck," he says of the difference between which areas receive too much rain and which don't.
One of the hardest-hit areas is Bowman, N.D., which received a whopping 11.3 inches of rain in May. That's only 2 inches less than the southwest North Dakota community normally receives in an entire year.
Darren Limesand, a veteran agent with Western Frontier Insurance Agency in Bowman, says he's never seen anything like what happened this year. Fortunately, most farmers were able to plant the majority of their fields before the moisture situation became too bad, he says.
Weber says spring rains were a big help in the Casselton area, which is near Fargo in eastern North Dakota.
Even so, "In the next two or three weeks, we're going to need rain again," he says. "There just isn't the subsoil moisture we've been used to."

Directionality support
|i18n docs
|Localisation · System messages · Messages API · Language · translatewiki.net · Writing systems · Directionality
Support for different writing directions (left-to-right, right-to-left) is an important aspect for multilingual software. Since MediaWiki 1.18, the support has been considerably improved.
This page gives some relevant information, and guidelines for developers and wiki administrators if you want to make a feature or extension compatible with the right-to-left interface and different directionality in general.
ResourceLoader[edit | edit source]
Thanks to ResourceLoader including CSSJanus, CSS is automatically flipped to right-to-left when the user language is RTL. This is default since 1.18 (in previous versions it was dependent on the wiki content language). There is relatively little CSS that must depend on the content language.
- Attention: when using ResourceLoader's debug mode, the CSS may be inconsistently rendered compared to the production mode. As a temporary work-around test RTL interface with debug off. (Issue being tracked as bug 27025.)
What kind of languages?[edit | edit source]
- $wgLang - user language (and the respective direction)
- $wgContLang - site content language (and respective direction) -> here LTR
- Title->getPageLanguage() - page content language (and respective direction) -> by default the same as site content language
- There are some default exceptions: see below
- It can be set in extensions by the hook PageContentLanguage
- This sets the TOC (and stuff like grammar, although not really relevant mostly) to that language. To do that only, use parserOptions->setTargetLanguage()
- In extensions that should remain compatible with 1.17, you can use wfUILang(), however this breaks compatibility with 1.16 and below. This returns $wgLang in 1.18 and higher but $wgContLang in 1.17 (by default).
What should follow which kind?[edit | edit source]
- Special pages follow the user language by default.
- Source code should be English (CSS/JS pages are set to English by default).
- Pages with translated subpages should follow the language of the translation (e.g. "Page" is wgContLang, "Page/he" is "he"). This is the default for the MediaWiki namespace.
- Input boxes and textareas follow content direction by default.
- When viewing a diff, it follows the user language, but the actual diff text is in the page content language.
What should I add in the source code?[edit | edit source]
- Anything on special pages that is different from the user language should have a
 tag.
- Example: SpecialRecentchanges->setTopText() which adds the "recentchangestext" message in the wiki content language.
- Anything on custom namespaces that contains text different from the default wiki content should also have a div tag.
- When the diff text is not the same as the page content language, use $diff->setTextLanguage( 'code' ); where $diff is a DifferenceEngine object.
lang/dir attributes[edit | edit source]
You should use HTML:
Xml::rawElement( 'div', array( 'lang' => $wgContLang->getCode(), 'dir' => $wgContLang->getDir() );
but sometimes that is difficult in dynamically generated elements and you can fall back on CSS:
.class { direction: ltr; }
Wiki content[edit | edit source]
|MediaWiki version:
|≥ 1.18
You can use mw-content-ltr and mw-content-rtl classes to make use of edit section links and ul/ol elements based on that direction.
- E.g.
Xml::rawElement( 'div', array(
'class' => 'mw-content-' . $wgLang->getDir(),
'lang' => $wgLang->getCode(),
'dir' => $wgLang->getDir(),
This is of course used for the page content of articles.
- On file pages, it is only added around the actual text while the rest of the file page is custom UI (file history, ...).
- On category pages it is added as on regular pages, but the text in the user language is embedded in a div with lang & dir attributes according to the user language.
- On special pages it is not added because these are largely in the user language. A piece of text on special pages can be in the content language, which should then be embedded in these classes. It is for example used in the CodeReview extension for the code summary and code comments, which can contain ul/ol elements (* and # wikitext) in the wiki content language and in principle not the user language obviously.
Adding UI stuff within these classes should not be done. For example, the category links and FlaggedRevs review form are inside #bodyContent but outside .mw-content-ltr/rtl.
A new feature is that these classes can be used within these classes. For example, .mw-content-rtl can be used in an LTR (mw-content-ltr) article. This is useful for multilingual pages. Prior to this, local MediaWiki:Common.css hacks had to be used to make e.g. bullet lists show correctly in
 text. You should therefore use
 instead of
 when editing wiki pages.
See also Manual:Interface/IDs and classes.
body classes[edit | edit source]
The body tag has an ltr or rtl class by default, which follows the user language. You shouldn't use that, because CSS is automatically flipped based on the user language. The body tag also features a new (1.18) sitedir-ltr and sitedir-rtl class which follows $wgContLang->getDir(). If there is need for it, a "userlang-ltr/rtl" and/or "pagelang-ltr/rtl" could be added as well.
float/text-align[edit | edit source]
You can use $wgLang->alignStart(), $wgContLang->alignStart(), $wgLang->alignEnd(), $wgContLang->alignEnd() which gives the appropriate 'right' or 'left' values.
You can use CSS float or text-align of which the value (left/right) is flipped for RTL interface languages.
Examples[edit | edit source]
Special:AllMessages is a special page, which means it follows the user language direction. However, the actual messages should follow the direction of the selected language.
- Special:Allmessages = English, LTR
- Special:Allmessages/he = Hebrew, RTL
The cells in the table containing the content of the messages, have a lang & dir attribute.
The Translate extension, making use of the PageContentLanguage hook, sets the right language (and consequently direction) for translated pages, see e.g. meta:Wikimedia_maintenance_notice/ar which benefits from the mw-content-rtl class on an LTR wiki.
Local wikis[edit | edit source]
MediaWiki:Common.css pages and relatives are also flipped. This means that you have to add @noflip where needed.
See bug 31923: site CSS should not be flipped by default
Issues[edit | edit source]
- Most major features and extensions have now improved support, see translatewiki:Project:Better directionality and i18n development for that.
- Known remaining issues:
- External link icons are flipped according to user language direction (minor issue)
- LiquidThreads: Use contlang instead of pagelang, otherwise special page returns userlang
- WikiLove: kittens aligned left ([[File:Blabla.jpg|left]]) should be aligned right in RTL wikis (minor issue)
- OmegaWiki: needs general overhaul (Expression and DefinedMeaning pages should follow user direction) + 23035
- Search bugs: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=rtl

Let's Hear it for Healthy Fats for a Healthy Body!
Note that you can't just add any old fat to your diet and expect good results - there are some that should be avoided.
Read on...
From Dr. Mercola's website:
A new study from the Netherlands has aroused a great deal of interest, especially as it comes immediately in the wake of an ill-conceived Danish tax that unfairly targets saturated fats.
The study found that dietary intake of saturated fatty acids is associated with a modest increase in serum total cholesterol -- but not with cardiovascular disease.
However, replacing dietary saturated fats with carbohydrates is associated with an increase in cardiovascular disease risk.
Let me repeat that:
Replacing saturated fats in your diet, like those from healthy grass-fed beef, raw organic butter, and other high-quality animal foods, with carbohydrates like bread, bagels, pasta, rice and doughnuts will increase your risk of heart disease.
Saturated Fats Are GOOD for You
I can't stress this point enough, as I realize it may take some of you reading this by surprise.
Unfortunately, this is the result of misguided and downright incorrect information that has been widely circulated from public health agencies, as well as further "cemented" in people's minds with the introduction of saturated fat replacements like trans fats and vegetable oil, which are far worse for your health.
Read the rest of the article here! Then go enjoy some good quality saturated fats.
Parmesan Crisps
This is from the excellent Food Renegade blog (click that link to see the whole entry).
Parmesan Crisp Recipe
The Players
- Parmesan Cheese, grated
Simply spoon the grated Parmesan cheese into chip-sized, relatively thin dollops on a hot griddle. The cheese will melt, then turn crispy. At this point, use a spatula to flip the crisps over and lightly brown the other side. Then remove from the griddle onto a plate.
The end.
If you don't have a griddle, you can spoon the Parmesan cheese into chip-sized, relatively thin dollops on a cookie sheet or two. Place the cookie sheets in your oven under the broiler and watch them melt and lightly brown. At this point, remove them from the oven and use a spatula to transfer them onto a plate.
Salsa-Dijon Chicken Stew
- 1 cup salsa
- 1/2 cup dijon mustard
- juice from one lime (about 4 T.)
- 3-4 pounds of chicken, skinless, boneless white or dark, whole pieces or cut up into bites
- butter, unsalted
- 1-2 bags frozen veggies, your choice, optional
- sour cream or yogurt
- lime
In a glass dish, combine salsa, mustard, and lime juice, then add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes or more. (If more, refrigerate.)
In a large skillet (with a lid) or dutch oven (depending on the amount of chicken you have), melt butter over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, and cook for a few minutes, turning to lightly brown on both sides (this may require 2 batches). Add the rest of the marinade to the pan with the chicken and simmer for at least 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through - time may be a little longer if you left the chicken in big pieces. (Marinade needs to simmer that long in order to cook any raw chicken still in it.) If you want to add some veggies, just throw in a bag or two of mixed frozen veggies of your choice at the end and cook until they are heated through.
Serve with sour cream and extra lime if desired.
This makes enough for about 8 people. You can adjust the quantities up or down pretty easily - just keep the ratios of salsa/dijon/lime fairly consistent.
Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Thighs
Slow Cooker Chipotle Chicken Thighs
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 stalks celery, diced
- 4 medium carrots, diced
- 4 pounds chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
- salt, pepper
- 1 can/jar crushed tomatoes, 14-15 oz., or tomato sauce
- 1 medium lime, juiced
- 2 chipotles (canned in adobo sauce), minced
- 2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from the can of chipotles)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- 1 bag frozen green beans
- sour cream, avocado, optional
In a skillet (with a cover), cook the onions, celery, and carrots in a little oil and salt for 5 minutes over med-low heat, covered, until soft. Do not brown. Scrape the contents of the skillet into the bottom of your slow cooker. (You can skip this step and just place the raw veggies in the cooker if you are really short on time, but I think this step helps the flavor and texture a lot.)
Cover the veggies with half of the thighs, sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Then layer the remaining thighs and sprinkle those with salt and pepper.
Combine the tomatoes, lime juice, chipotles, adobo sauce, and garlic in a bowl, then pour over the chicken.
Cook on low for 7-8 hours, or high for 3-4. Add the frozen green beans during the last hour of cooking (you can just throw them right on top of everything and sort of push them into the liquid a bit).
Once everything is done, remove the thighs from the slow cooker and set aside. Stir the cilantro into the liquid and veggies remaining in the cooker. Serve by placing 2-3 thighs in a shallow bowl then topping with veggies and liquid. Serve with optional sour cream, avocado, etc.
Serves 6 (at least!)
It's Cold and Flu (shot) season! Here's some info to consider
Story at-a-glance
- A new study revealed that the flu vaccine prevents type A or type B influenza in only 1.5 out of every 100 vaccinated adults … but the media is reporting this to mean "60 percent effective" – the difference is due to a semantic sleight-of-hand: confusing the meaning of relative vs. absolute risk reduction
- Media reports that the flu vaccine is 60 percent effective does not mean that 60 out of 100 people who get the flu shot will be protected against influenza; separate research shows 100 people must be vaccinated to prevent one case of type A or type B influenza.
- Vaccine-acquired immunity is temporary, which is why even though the influenza viruses included in this season's flu vaccine are the same viruses that were selected for the 2010-2011 influenza vaccine, the CDC is still recommending you get vaccinated again, even if you got the vaccine last year. The immunity you get by recovering from influenza naturally is qualitatively superior and longer lasting.
- Lifestyle changes will generally be far more effective at preventing type A or type B influenza or other types of flu-like respiratory illnesses than the flu vaccine.
This advice applies to everyone 6 months of age and older, and the CDC stresses that you "should get a flu vaccine as soon as [they] are available."
With a promotion this strong, you might assume that getting a flu shot is a "sure thing" to protect you from all flu-like illness this year, but actually it's not.
Not even close.

Childhood vaccines - a thoughtful, dissenting view
What do you think?
Some old-fashioned, healthy civil disobedience
Now, with stainless steel and electricity, there's no reason we can't safely consume milk from healthy cows (i.e., they hang out in a pasture or a clean barn and eat grass and hay) that hasn't been pasteurized. The FDA feels differently, however, and has been increasingly performing raids (often with guns drawn) on farmers suspected of selling raw milk illegally. (Every state has its own law about raw milk sales, but there is a Federal prohibition against transporting it across state lines. Sheesh - you'd think they'd have better things to worry about.)
So - today there is a great protest happening by a group of (mostly) moms called the Raw Milk Freedom Riders. Check it out here. What do you think?
For more basic information on raw milk, see here.
Honey Laundering!
Tests Show Most Store Honey Isn't Honey
Ultra-filtering Removes Pollen, Hides Honey Origins
The food safety divisions of the World Health Organization, the European Commission and dozens of others also have ruled that without pollen there is no way to determine whether the honey came from legitimate and safe sources.
More than three-fourths of the honey sold in U.S. grocery stores isn't exactly what the bees produce, according to testing done exclusively for Food Safety News.
The results show that the pollen frequently has been filtered out of products labeled "honey."
The removal of these microscopic particles from deep within a flower would make the nectar flunk the quality standards set by most of the world's food safety agencies.
In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration says that any product that's been ultra-filtered and no longer contains pollen isn't honey. However, the FDA isn't checking honey sold here to see if it contains pollen.
Ultra filtering is a high-tech procedure where honey is heated, sometimes watered down and then forced at high pressure through extremely small filters to remove pollen, which is the only foolproof sign identifying the source of the honey. It is a spin-off of a technique refined by the Chinese, who have illegally dumped tons of their honey - some containing illegal antibiotics - on the U.S. market for years.
Food Safety News decided to test honey sold in various outlets after its earlier investigation found U.S. groceries flooded with Indian honey banned in Europe as unsafe because of contamination with antibiotics, heavy metal and a total lack of pollen which prevented tracking its origin.
Food Safety News purchased more than 60 jars, jugs and plastic bears of honey in 10 states and the District of Columbia.
The contents were analyzed for pollen by Vaughn Bryant, a professor at Texas A&M University and one of the nation's premier melissopalynologists, or investigators of pollen in honey.
Bryant, who is director of the Palynology Research Laboratory, found that among the containers of honey provided by Food Safety News:
• 76 percent of samples bought at groceries had all the pollen removed, These were stores like TOP Food, Safeway, Giant Eagle, QFC, Kroger, Metro Market, Harris Teeter, A&P, Stop & Shop and King Soopers.
• 100 percent of the honey sampled from drugstores like Walgreens, Rite-Aid and CVS Pharmacy had no pollen.
• 77 percent of the honey sampled from big box stores like Costco, Sam's Club, Walmart, Target and H-E-B had the pollen filtered out.
• 100 percent of the honey packaged in the small individual service portions from Smucker, McDonald's and KFC had the pollen removed.
• Bryant found that every one of the samples Food Safety News bought at farmers markets, co-ops and "natural" stores like PCC and Trader Joe's had the full, anticipated, amount of pollen.
And if you have to buy at major grocery chains, the analysis found that your odds are somewhat better of getting honey that wasn't ultra-filtered if you buy brands labeled as organic. Out of seven samples tested, five (71 percent) were heavy with pollen. All of the organic honey was produced in Brazil, according to the labels.

Mashed Cauliflower
1 medium to large head of cauliflower, washed and trimmed, then cut into chunks (approx. 1 1/2 to 2 inches in size)
4 oz. cream cheese, cut into a few chunks
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into a few chunks
salt (about 1/2-3/4 tsp.)
pepper to taste
Extremely Helpful Equipment
Steamer basket
Food Processor
Place the cauliflower in a steamer basket over boiling water, and steam for about 15-20 minutes until very tender. (Don't have a steamer? Boil it until tender, then drain VERY well.)
Put the cooked cauliflower into a food processor and run it until the cauliflower is partially mashed, then add the cream cheese, butter, salt (start with 1/2 tsp., then add to taste), and some pepper to taste. Run the processor until the cauliflower is a uniform, creamy consistency. Sometimes it wants to be stubborn and not really start mashing up, but be patient and let the machine do its thing - the cauliflower will yield to the might of technology.
Serves about 6 or more, depending on the size of the cauliflower. It's great left over, too.
NOTE: my mother makes this and does not have a food processor, so she just mashes it all up by hand. She says it is still good, but not quite the same creamy consistency as you get with a machine. She also finds she has to boil the cauliflower a bit longer to get it soft enough to do by hand.
Equipment Notes:
I have something like this for my steamer setup - much sturdier than the collapsable baskets.
My food processor is a Kitchen Aid - powerful and easy to use!

NC State Selects 2013 Hall of Fame Class | Complete Bios | Purchase TicketsRALEIGH, N.C. - Earle Edwards, who coached the Wolfpack football squad from 1954 to 1970, guided the school to five league titles, two Top 20 final rankings, and was declared ACC coach of the year four times. During the longest stint of any Pack football coach, Edwards produced eight All-Americans: Dick Christy, halfback (1957), Roman Gabriel, quarterback (1960, '61), Don Montgomery, defensive end (1963), Dennis Byrd, defensive tackle (1966, '67), Fred Combs, defensive back (1967), Gerald Warren, kicker (1967), Ron Carpenter, defensive tackle (1968), and Cary Metts, center, (1968). To this day, Edwards is the winningest Pack coach in ACC play, having established a 55-45-5 record against league competition. Glenn Sasser, who played both ways at tackle and also did all of the kicking duties for Edwards' teams from '62-64, noted what is generally conceded by most observers: Edwards did more with less than any Pack coach. "I'm not talking about talent because Edwards recruited excellent talent," Sasser responded. "But in terms of facilities and recruiting budget, he didn't have much to work with." The obstacles Edwards faced off the field far outweighed the opponents his teams met on the field. State played in Riddick Stadium which had wooden bleachers, telephone light poles amid the seating, and could only seat 20,000 fans. This required the Pack to only schedule three home games per season before Edwards finally spearheaded the construction of then Carter Stadium, which opened in 1966. During that period, State was forced to play rival UNC at Kenan Stadium every season - even though every other year would be declared a Pack home game. The players had to dress in Reynolds Coliseum because the field house was off-standard.Defying those odds, Edwards won. He was well-schooled in building a collegiate football program when he arrived in Raleigh. After his playing career at Penn State (1928-30), he eventually became an assistant coach at his alma mater from 1941-47 and then moved to Michigan State as an assistant from 1948-53. Big Ten football didn't have to take a back seat to anybody in the collegiate football world in those days and Edwards built up significant recruiting ties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. It took some time for Edwards to construct a solid base of players to compete in ACC infancy from 1954-1957 when the Pack won its first conference title - led by halfback Dick Christy.The Pack returned to glory in 1967 with a brilliant 9-2-1 season record and a 5-1 mark in league play - good for second place and another berth in the Liberty Bowl. State, sporting one of the nation's best defenses (nicknamed the "White Shoes Defense", started the season 8-0, beating Florida State and surprising No. 2 Houston in the Astrodome. The Pack was ranked No. 2 nationally when it played at Penn State on November 11th.Trailing 13-8 in the last minute of play, the Nittany Lions stopped the Pack a foot short of the goal line to preserve the victory. The Pack lost the next week to Clemson and then beat Georgia, 14-7, in the Liberty Bowl for its first ever post-season triumph. State finished ranked 17 in the Coaches Poll. Edwards' 1968 edition won its fifth ACC title with a 6-1 record the following fall.Yes, in spite of all the obstacles, Edwards' Wolfpack roared to five ACC titles compared to two others: 1973 under Lou Holtz and 1979 under the late Bo Rein. His teams won when the facilities and recruiting budgets were small. He won when he had a new, beautiful stadium and field house and football revenues were upgraded significantly. Four ACC Coach of the Year awards proved the fruit of his labors.

McAfee has unveiled a new platform called Security Quickstart that offers a combination of management and training for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).The initiative provides training, software support and consulting services designed to allow smaller companies to access IT management services.Security Quickstart is centred on McAfee's enterprise security and management platforms, and focuses on the company's specific offerings such as Endpoint Protection, Total Protection and ePolicy Orchestrator.The service will include a HealthCheck security assessment tool, as well as access to tutorials, training videos and on-demand support.McAfee hopes to win over SMEs by offering levels of support and management traditionally available only to larger enterprises. The company also expects to extend the reach and customer base for its resellers and partner organisations. "Our research shows that organisations that put more effort into preventing attacks can end up spending less than a third as much as those that allow themselves to be at risk," said Darrell Rodenbaugh, McAfee's senior vice president of global midmarket business."We understand that SMEs have limited resources and expertise, so we are giving them what they need to get up and running quickly, for very little cost.

Another event will be held in Jonesborough, where the town will host its annual Veterans Day program beginning at 2:30 p.m. in the Visitors Center auditorium.
A number of national restaurant chains will offer free or discounted meals today to veterans and active duty personnel. Such programs are certainly a good gesture on Veterans Day, but perhaps the best way to show your appreciation is to actually tell a veteran you know how much his or her service in the military means to you.
To all the veterans in our area we say: "Thank you."

Nick Bilton, a staff writer at The New York Times, has a new book about the founding of Twitter, coming out in November. Amazon.com
The UpTake: We're excited for this upcoming book about the beginnings of Twitter.
We're not holding out hope for The Social Network 2: The IPO, but a new book by New York Times technology writer Nick Bilton promises an even juicier tale of startup intrigue: Twitter.
Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship and Betrayal, listed for pre-order on Amazon this week, hits bookshelves in November.
The title definitely doesn't under-promise, neither does this online teaser:
Nick Bilton of the New York Times takes readers behind the scenes with a narrative that shows what happened inside Twitter as it grew at exponential speeds. This is a tale of betrayed friendships and high-stakes power struggles as the four founders—Biz Stone, Evan Williams, Jack Dorsey, and Noah Glass—went from everyday engineers to wealthy celebrities, featured on magazine covers, Oprah, The Daily Show, and Time's list of the world's most influential people.
Bilton tells AllThingsD that Twitter's outsized role in everything from politics to culture made is the stuff of high drama.
"Twitter, in comparison to Facebook, with the involvement of celebrities, and the way the company has ended up changing the world, makes The Social Network look like an episode of Days of Our Lives," he told reporter Mike Issac.
OK, Bilton, you've got our attention. But who gets the movie rights? We're thinking it could be filmed in a series of Vine clips. Also, current CEO Dick Costolo, a trained improv comedian, could definitely play himself. Likewise early Twitter power user Ashton Kutcher.

Guest: U-KISS, KARA, Sung Si Kyung
U-KISS (Korean: 유키스) is a South Korean boy band formed by NH Media in 2008. The members include Shin Soohyun, Ellison Kim (also known as Eli), Kevin Woo, Shin Dongho, Lee Kiseop, Hoon and AJ (both joined the group in 2011). Alexander (Xander), and Kibum, are former members of U-KISS. U-KISS stands for Ubiquitous Korean International (Idol) Super Star. They debuted in Japan on August 15, 2008 and in South Korea on August 28, 2008. Later in late 2009, six-member U-KISS was turned into seven-member U-KISS with the addition of Lee Kiseop. When the original members Alexander Lee Eusebio and Kim Kibum's contracts were terminated in early 2011, they were replaced by Hoon and AJ. Hoon was previously known as a solo artist, while AJ is a former member of NH Media's group, PARAN.
Kara (Hangul: 카라, Japanese: カラ, often stylized as KARA) is a South Korean girl group signed with DSP Media (DSP). The band name Kara comes from the Greek Word "chara" (χαρά, lit. "joy"), which the group interpreted to mean "sweet melody".

Smarter Car RentingHere are car rental tips from the road trip-seasoned editors of RoadsideAmerica.com:
• Many States, One Car:If renting a car for a longer road trip, check with the car rental companies in Lapeer, Michigan to see if they have policies about crossing state lines that affect the final rate you pay. May be no effect, but don't assume you can crisscross the globe with unlimited mileage impunity. There may be a GPS tracker in the car!
• Car Types:When selecting a car type, remember it's not just about how cool you'll appear. The car selection page details show an average of how many people and how many pieces of luggage can comfortably fit in each car type. Pay attention to the specifics to be certain they meet your needs before booking.
• Fear of the Unknown:Unfamiliar with the streets of Lapeer? Consider adding a GPS navigation system to your rental. GPS provides turn-by-turn directions to a number of Lapeer attractions and businesses, and is offered by almost all Lapeer car rental agencies. The GPS helps you navigate like some mythical Greek God of Navigation! You can also add your own portable GPS on your handy windshield sucker, but remember to take it all with you when you turn in the car at the end of your trip.

Art and activism will join forces at the 16th Annual Artists Against Abuse Benefit Gala on Saturday, June 25, at the Ross Lower School Fieldhouse. This event is designed to raise money for the Retreat, the only domestic violence services organization on the East End. It is their most important fundraiser of the year, according to Jennifer Palmer, the Development Director of the Retreat.
"When you're affected by domestic violence, it diminishes your life," said Richard J. Demato, the vice president of development in the Board of Directors at the Retreat. "We deal with women and children in crisis, and it's important to have these artists and participants who help those in need."
Despite the serious nature of the event, it is also a showcase for artists and their work. The gala will feature a silent and live auction, hosted by auctioneer, Sara Friedlander of Christie's Fine Art Auction House. In previous years, the Retreat auctioned off ceramic plates, each one crafted by an individual artist. But eventually, they realized it was easier for many painters to work on canvasses.
"We felt the paintings would really allow them more room to show their skills," Palmer said. "Plus, most people wanted to buy paintings to display in their homes. There are only so many ceramic plates people can hang on their walls."
At the silent auction, participants can bid on 11" X 14" canvasses from local artists. Many of the artists chose themes associated with the event or with life on the East End.
Bobbi Braun is one artist who was influenced by life spent making art in Bridgehampton, where she lives today. She is grateful to participate, because she sees the fundraiser as a way to honor this location and the Retreat through art.
"I chose to paint what I thought was a wonderful field of Bridgehampton," Braun said. "We live in a very special place on this planet. So, I believe this shows the real essence of where we live in a painting."
Artist Pat Moran drew inspiration from his home near the Morton Wildlife Refuge in Noyac. His landscape depicts a woman and two children walking down a path to the beach. At the foreground of the painting, the viewer sees the darkness of the forests; but as the family moves forward, the scene opens to reveal the open bay.
"I liked the idea of the darker foreground headed toward open light, open air," Moran said. "And when they come to the beach at the Morton Wildlife Refuge, they're just having a lovely time."
Moran also saw this event as an excuse to experiment with his medium. He usually works in monotype, a type of printmaking; for the fundraiser, he experimented with acrylic.
"I'm not a painter in a conventional sense, so this was a learning experience," Moran said. "The imagery is more bucolic than my other work, so it was wonderful to have this chance to experiment."
After the silent auction, guests can participate in a live auction. The canvasses on display tend to be larger, and the styles range from collage to photorealism. Ann Chwatsky, the event's art co-chair, emphasized the generosity of the artists themselves.
"Whether it's a collector who gives a piece or the artists themselves, everyone has just jumped at the chance to help," Chwatsky said. "And because of that, we have a truly amazing collection of art for the auctions."
Chwatsky also discussed the variety of art on display in both auctions. Audrey Flack's "Untitled" uses photorealism in her portrayal of a nude woman. Peter Bynum's "Untitled No. 224" is created on multiple layers of three-dimensional glass. One treat comes in the form of pop art; Roy Lichtenstein's triptych "Cow Going Abstract I, II, III" will be sold together in the live auction.
"These are paintings that are just going to make people excited to own them," Chwatsky said. "You can hang them anywhere in your house … and it's not often that you get to be surrounded by such a variety of world-renowned art."
The Retreat has drawn artists and participants from a variety of backgrounds. According to Chwatsky, people involved recognize this event's importance in the fight against domestic abuse — and as an exhibition of artistic masterworks.
"It's always important to remember the importance of the organization," Chwatsky said. "But you can also have fun and enjoy great art."

They are today announcing their first placed, approved and in force no exam life insurance case with Sagicor Life's new product. "It's liberating for both myself and the customer.

Our first place case was approved an issued at only about $1.30 more than the lowest cost option and was applied for, issued, and put in force in just one week.

Affordable Care Act affirmation celebrated in Tampa
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Some supporters of the Supreme Courtâs ruling to uphold the healthcare law held signs in front of the Federal Courthouse in Tampa today. The group of 25 people thinks the new law will make Americans healthier.
One of the most celebrated components of the healthcare law is the pre-existing condition provision. It keeps insurance companies from denying coverage to someone who has an ongoing illness. Ariel Fernandez is a Cuban immigrant and he has epilepsy. He said heâs had insurance since 2010, but it wasnât easy to get it.
âMy entire family was stumped because we had the money. We could purchase insurance no matter what the cost because it was going to be less than my medication, but everybody said no â because I was too much of a risk.â
Fernandezâs struggle led him to get informed and involved with the fight for healthcare reform.
âIt was a saving grace for, not just me, but everybody thatâs around me that I kind of hold down when Iâm sick and I canât be productive and they have to pay my bills and come in and to the rescue. That doesnât have to happen anymore.â
Ellen Brown, a local small business owner, is looking forward to taking advantage of tax credits to provide medical coverage for her two employees. And as a senior citizen, sheâs also seen first hand how the cost of prescription medication has left people choosing between paying bills and buying medicine. Brown said she was shocked and thrilled when she heard the news that the healthcare law had been ruled constitutional.
âSome of these medications â fortunately, not what I take, but what my brother-in-law does take â is $1,000 a shot. Thatâs big money. And when you get to the doughnut holeâ¦you can get your medicine.â
The decision is also being celebrated by some doctors. Mona Mangat treats people with allergies. Sheâs organizing a caravan from the Republican National Convention in Tampa to the Democratic convention in Charlotte. It will include a group of doctors and other supporters of the Affordable Care Act and show people that making healthcare more accessible isnât about partisanship.
âOur ultimate desire is to treat patients and to make this country a healthier country. So, this law is allowing us to do that â getting us one step closer. Itâs not the panacea of all our problems, but it gets us a step closer.â
Governor Rick Scott held off on implementing early provisions of the law and itâs unclear whether he will expand Medicaid. Thatâs one provision thatâs optional. Mangat said not taking federal dollars to expand a crucial program would be detrimental to people with low incomes.
âPeople will actually die. Itâs different. The other reporter brought up â well, he turned away the high speed rail money. Well, thatâs different. Nobody died because of that. People will die without expansion of Medicaid in this state.â
Not everyone at the rally was a fan of the Presidentâs healthcare law. Donald Waiberman works at the courthouse. He stood next to the circle of supporters asking what they thought the law would do for the quality of care. Waibermanâs concern was that with more people insured doctors would be inundated with patients.
âYouâre still going to go to the doctor. Youâre still going to want to get those check-ups like I do and youâre going to have to wait a lot longer because thereâs going to be a lot more people in those waiting rooms.â
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has criticized the federal healthcare law and said after the ruling that he would repeal it on his first day in office if heâs elected.

We all, including the M.D.s present, recognised that the Affordable Care Act was but a tiny step in the direction of Universal Health Care. We deserve what all other industrialised countries have.

I have in my anus, fixed a month, joins elsewhere around the anus is haemorrhoids or something?
The first, what to do if you have lumps in the anus is to consult your doctor. You can, regardless of whether you suffer from hemorrhoids by a physician who has had the opportunity to physically examine can be diagnosed. In any case, there are certain symptoms of hemorrhoids, which are quite common. They are listed here and you can see if you have one. The first is that if a patient suffers from hemorrhoids, it can cause open sores in the anal area. They also may bleed, sometimes significantly, whereas in the feces. The body's natural reaction would be to block the passage of stool, so that the patient is likely to end up with a great effort. This may give rise to nerve endings broken in the opening of the anus. They are often called hemorrhoids are particularly painful and totally invisible to the naked eye because they are internal cracks. But one can easily notice, as they swell in size small nodule. The troubling part with hemorrhoids is that the patient feels he has a spherical presence – or even many believe – of a species can, but there's really nothing. These are also accompanied with severe pain, apparently, even when the gas crossing.
If you can see, that your symptoms are consistent for most of those presented here, to determine whether you have hemorrhoids or not. In any case, is better with some measures that would not worsen their condition. For starters, listen to toilet paper to wipe after a bowel movement. Then use water instead. Toilet paper is rough and tends to leave lint behind, not to mention that the dry, you can print for your condition can only worsen the situation. Pat dry, but do not rub. You must also include the amount of fiber in your diet. This will be very useful to have bowel movements without problems. Hard stools can not only cause, but may also complicate the posts or other problems in the anal area. If possible, a few tablespoons of Psyllium Husk take every night before bed. It is better to hunt with this milk. Milk is a mild laxative and will be very useful. You must do this at least a week to give, to heal the wounds of time to win.
