WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — For the second time since taking over as CEO of the Wilmington Housing Authority, Michael Krause has been arrested for DWI.
Wilmington Police spokeswoman Linda Rawley says an officer pulled Krause over in the 700 block of Windemere Road yesterday at 4:28 p.m. Rawley said Krause was also cited for having no operator's license.
Krause started working at WHA in 2008. In 2009 he was charged with DWI. He later pleaded guilty and was fined and sentenced to 24 hours community service.
An assistant said Krause was out of the office this week and would not be back until later this week. She said his absence was previously scheduled.
WHA Board member Jeff Hovis said this afternoon Krause asked for a leave of absence beyond what was already scheduled. He also said the WHA will hold a special meeting soon to discuss the matter. He said by law they must give a 48-hour public notice before holding that meeting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mandy faces competition,
Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hung Up To Die (Mass Market Paperback)
Farley Mills has started a new discount dry cleaners which begins to undermine Mandy Dyer's business. Mandy doesn't mind fair competition, but Farley is passing out coupons to his establishment right on Mandy's doorstep. As Mandy is pondering what to do about it, Farley's body is found on the premises of Dyer's Cleaners. Mandy has an obvious motive and one which the police seize on immediately. In self-defense, she decides to start her own investigation. After some checking around, Mandy discovers that several of her employees have motives for the murder. One by one, she tries to investigate each of the suspects until she discovers the guilty party, only in time for her own life to be threatened. Johnson is a good writer and this second book is a good addition to the series.

By A Customer
This review is from: Hung Up To Die (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed this second of the Mandy Dyer series & hope Dolores Johnson keeps writing more. Who knew there was so much going on at your local dry cleaners? Her books are funny-witty & a good read not to mention spot-less. This time we get to meet Mandys Mom & she is a hoot. Looking forward to the next installment.

This review is from: Hung Up To Die (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading this book, I went out and got as many Mandy Dyermysteries as I could find. Characters are likeable and humorous, and theplot was intriguing. As a fan of Sue Grafton's style of realistic characters and interesting plot twists, I'm looking forward to reading more by this author.

Building a Fedora-Based VoIP Server
There are not a whole lot of active Linux or BSD-based Telephony/IP-PBX distros, but the few we have are quite good and easy to setup and configure. Of the four that we have profiled on this site, only AskoziaPBX is based on a BSD (FreeBSD) distro. The others – trixbox, Elastix, and AsteriskNOW – are all Linux-based. Whether Linux or BSD-based, the key application that makes them what they are is Asterisk.
Asterisk is an "open source PBX, telephony engine, and telephony applications toolkit". With Asterisk, you can roll your own VoIP Server., that is, if you do not want to use any of the distros listed above. We present to you an article first published in Redhat Magazine that takes you through the process of building a Fedora-Based VoIP Server. Read on:
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has emerged as a popular technology for modern voice communications. Many organizations have replaced their analog or proprietary digital telephone systems with VoIP-based solutions. This allows the consolidation of telephone services into an existing IP infrastructure. In addition, using IP to host voice services lets the organization leverage existing expertise–while retaining all of the network's management advantages. Though not without its disadvantages, VoIP provides a compelling option to those looking for a telephone solution.
This article will present a simple VoIP solution using Asterisk, an open source private branch exchange (PBX) product. It will show you how to install Asterisk, configure it using its LDAP backend, and connect to it using the Ekiga software VoIP client and a Cisco 7900 Series VoIP telephone to make calls.

Retirement ends glorious era for yard
Posted: November 08, 2012|
THEY were the Nicholls Nobility who ruled the chasing world for eight years. Kauto Star, Denman, Master Minded and Neptune Collonges raised the profile of NH racing through their brilliance, much the same way as Arkle, Red Rum, Desert Orchid and Best Mate had done in days gone by.
Now with the retirement of Kauto Star this glorious era has ended. Denman was pensioned off in December and Master Minded's career was terminated by injury during the King George VI Chase later that same month while time was called on Neptune Collonges after his epic Grand National triumph in April.
All four horses are millionaires in their own right for prize-money but what places Kauto Star above his stablemates at the Ditcheat yard of Paul Nicholls is his versatility.
During the 2006-07 campaign he was the first chaser to be officially top-rated at two miles, two and a half miles and three miles at the same time.
That unique treble stemmed from a Grade Two win over 20 furlongs in the Old Roan Chase at Aintree by 21 lengths in the October, a second Tingle Creek victory in Sandown Park's two-miler during December followed by the first of five King George triumphs over three miles at Christmas.
This bright bay with the striking blaze commanded public adulation with football-type scarves seen at racecourses for the first time in the green, yellow and purple colours of owner Clive Smith.
Of his 19 chase victories, 16 were at Grade One level and his prize-money over fences reached a record £2,233,000 for a NH competitor – let alone the additional seven-figure bonus he earned from winning the Betfair Million by taking Haydock's Betfair Chase, the King George and the first of his two Cheltenham Gold Cups in 2007.
He is immortalised in Gold Cup folklore as being the only horse to regain racing's number one race after losing it, that memorable day coming in 2009 when avenging his defeat by Denman the previous season.
Such ability was bound to draw comparisons with Arkle and certainly he is the best we have seen since Himself.
As a hurdler in his early days in France he was trained by Serge Foucher near Paris who to this day not only rates him as the best horse he has handled but also rues selling him to Clive Smith though at £285,000 it was anticipated that this was an animal with the highest potential.
And so it transpired. Kauto Star was an instant success under the meticulous Nicholls guidance winning his first English chase at Newbury in December, 2004, by nine lengths.
The first chapter had been written in a fabulous career which had so many highlights. Nicholls always knew he was something extra special but the trainer and head lad Clifford Baker deserve enormous credit for the way they handled the horse's career keeping him fresh and enthusiastic for the job that he clearly loved over eight British campaigns.
Even last season in the veteran stage Kauto Star proved himself out of the ordinary. Following below-par performances in the spring of 2011 it seemed the march of time had consumed him and that any further races would simply be a case of paying homage to a horse now on the downward spiral.
How wrong we were when he set the pace and ran Long Run into oblivion to land a fourth Betfair Chase in November – and five weeks later repeated the dose to outgun the young pretender for a record-breaking fifth King George days before he turned 12 years old.
Though Nicholls said in his autobiography we should never get too emotionally involved with our horses there were plenty of hardened racegoers who were dewy-eyed when Kauto Star strode up the Kempton Park run-in under an elated Ruby Walsh last December.
How much that schooling fall took its toll on his early Gold Cup exit in March we shall never know but it was clear on that day that his owner thought the curtain should be brought down on an epic career while he was still in one piece.
There was no immediate announcement but Nicholls, Smith and the Ditcheat team spoke as one voice when the inevitable news was broken last Wednesday afternoon leaving jump enthusiasts with enduring memories of an equine legend whose talents thrilled us all.

By consistently delivering quality projects on time, Contrast Mechanical quickly outgrew its humble beginnings and, in 2001, moved to its own office and shop in Ferndale, Michigan. Out of its new office, Contrast expanded its services to offer pipe-fitting, fire suppression, welding and boiler services. Additionally, it began serving all of Southeastern Michigan.
In 2000, Paul Bowers joined Contrast, bringing his college background and field experience to help the company grow. Today, Paul is Vice President and is the lead estimator and project manager for Contrast.
Alongside the company growth, Contrast's bonding capacity has increased significantly, now covering projects as large as brand new high school constructions.
In 2009, Contrast expanded again, moving its corporate offices to Macomb, Michigan, where it added a second shop and warehouse facility, including pipe fabrication operations. Contrast's service offerings continue to grow as well, as it became a complete mechanical construction company, adding complete HVAC, insulation, controls and balancing to the services it provides. To round out its offerings, Contrast developed expertise in design/build projects as well.
Recognizing the need to maintain integrity in the profession, since 1997, Contrast has operated its own in-house apprentice plumber program in coordination with both the U.S. Dept. of Labor and local educational institutions, teaching the trade to a new generation of eager minds and fostering a sense of pride among its ranks. To date, it has graduated numerous journeyman plumbers into the workforce.
As a result of the continued demands of numerous satisfied new construction and renovation clients, in 2012, Contrast officially opened a service and maintenance division, which services all mechanical systems throughout southeastern Michigan. This new division allowed Contrast to continue to deliver the service it has provided for years.
Contrast is firmly established as a leader in mechanical construction in Michigan and remains dedicated to offering quality piping and mechanical systems. It also remains the forefront of the mechanical industry, with expertise in cutting edge applications such as geothermal and energy efficient systems. Contrast stays on top of our industry's technology, both on site and in the office, so our clients will benefit from the most mechanically advanced systems available, as well as the most efficient and cost effective project delivery.
From the shop floor to the jobsite and boardroom, Contrast Mechanical's professionals are dedicated to quality workmanship, uncompromising integrity and customer satisfaction.

Moral Panic in Postwar Germany
January 29, 2010 | 4:00 - 6:00pm | Duke University, East Campus, Carr Building,
Room 229
This presentation focuses on widespread concerns in postwar West Germany surrounding the alleged abduction of young Germans into the French Foreign Legion from the late 1940s to the late 1950s. Stories of young Germans who were drafted into Legion against their will became notorious in postwar West Germany. They were published in a scandalized fashion in magazines and newspapers, they captured the attention of policy makers and judicial officials, and they were discussed in parliamentary debates. At the same time, there was virtually no evidence that these stories of forced abduction were accurate. The issue thus assumed the classic characteristics of a "moral panic" with the alleged German/French abductors serving as "folk devils." The paper seeks to place these fantasies of forced abduction and "white slavery" into the broader context of the moral and emotional after-effects of the Second World War, thus exemplifying specific German postwar fears and anxieties.
Introduction and moderation by Karen Hagemann (UNC-Chapel Hill, Department of History). The seminar starts at 4:15 pm. Refreshments will be served before the seminar. A pre-circulated paper is available a week in advance at email@example.com.
For more information, please visit www.unc.edu/ncgs/seminars.html and www.unc.edu/mhss/. Cosponsored by the Center for European Studies.

Call for Proposals: The EU and the Mediterranean: The End of a Vision?
The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EMP) once represented a high-profile EU commitment for economic development, regional cooperation, democracy and human rights in the Mediterranean Region. It quickly lost momentum with the stalling of the Oslo peace process. The majority of participating Mediterranean countries did not make any progress in issues such as democracy and human rights. Doubts about the EU's sincerity came to the surface in the post 9/11 context and the launch of a fourth EMP chapter in 2005 on migration, social integration, justice and security. Furthermore, the EU launched new programmes such as the ENP and the Union for the Mediterranean whose relationships to the EMP remain unclear.
If we review EU-Mediterranean relations and the Mediterranean countries' development as well as both sides' current commitments, several questions need to be addressed. What kind of progress has been made in the respective countries? Which indicators does the EU use in order to measure countries' progress in the various issue areas? Is there effectiveness of the EU's efforts as a norms exporter without the membership carrot? Which external and internal obstacles hinder a more profound cooperation? What is the driving force for EU policies vis-à-vis the Mediterranean and what kind of different positions do exist among EU member states? Which EU member states have a particular interest in the EMP and why so? Do these particular interests impair the coherence of the EU policy vis-à-vis the Mediterranean countries?
"L'Europe en Formation" (www.cife.eu/, www.iehei.org/) welcomes proposals for articles to appear in the summer 2010 issue of the journal and in its online version. Articles can cover a variety of topics related to the EMP and should touch one of the above questions. They may include case-studies about a Mediterranean country and its development with respect to the EMP agenda or discuss, for example, difficulties of democracy promotion in the region.
Proposals (abstracts) should not exceed 500 words and can be written either in English or French. They should be accompanied by a CV of the author. Please send propositions by email (in pdf or word 2003 format) to email@example.com.
Deadline: January 20, 2010

Enjoy tasty frozen desserts in moderationMy 11-year-old daughter and I huddled around our electric ice cream maker, head to head. We watched the paddle rotate its way through the slowly thickening cream and sugar mixture.
By: Julie Garden-Robinson, INFORUM
My 11-year-old daughter and I huddled around our electric ice cream maker, head to head. We watched the paddle rotate its way through the slowly thickening cream and sugar mixture.
Unfortunately, the ice cream did not freeze any faster under our careful scrutiny.
My daughter was working on a 4-H food science project. I was curious whether the recipe would turn out in an electric ice cream maker and with added strawberries.
Yes, we both like ice cream. We wanted to taste this creation as soon as possible.
We are not alone in liking ice cream. According to the International Dairy Foods Association, about 1.6 billion gallons of frozen dairy products are produced annually in the United States.
Frozen desserts have been popular since someone created a snow-conelike dessert in the second century B.C. In ancient Rome, snow from the mountains was flavored with fruit and juice.
Some historians trace a dessert similar to modern-day ice cream to 16th century Europe. The recipe had evolved from one that Marco Polo brought to Italy after trips to the Far East. In the 17th century, "cream ice" as it was called, was regularly served at the table of
Charles I.
Now we have many frozen dessert choices and the products must be labeled appropriately. To be labeled "ice cream," a food must have 10 percent milk fat by weight and a gallon must weigh at least 4.5 pounds.
"Premium" ice cream usually contains more than 12 percent milk fat, so it is higher in calories and fat.
Ice cream labeled "frozen custard" or "French ice cream" must have 10 percent milk fat and 1.4 percent egg yolk solids by weight.
Sherbets are lower in fat, with 1 percent or 2 percent milk fat required. Most types of sherbet have a higher sweetener content and weigh about 6 pounds per gallon.
Gelato is a frozen dessert with more milk than cream and sweeteners, egg yolks and flavorings. Sorbets or ices contain no dairy ingredients.
Frozen desserts vary widely in calorie and fat content, so read the Nutrition Facts labels. If you prefer the "ultrapremium" ice creams, eat a smaller portion and savor every bite.
Enjoy some ice cream during June, National Dairy Month. Practice your ice cream making (or eating) skills because June paves the way for July, National Ice Cream Month.
Follow these tips adapted from the International Dairy Foods Association:
- Be sure the ice cream freezer case is your last stop in the grocery store. If you are picking up ice cream from an open freezer case, choose containers below the freezer line.
- Be sure your freezer is set at zero degrees or lower. Store ice cream in the main section of the freezer, not the door.
- Be sure the ice cream container lid is kept tightly closed. Ice cream can pick up the flavor of other foods, so be sure all foods are packaged properly.
Many recipes are available for making ice cream at home. If you find a recipe that calls for raw eggs, which will not be cooked to form a custard, either use pasteurized eggs (which are heat treated to make bacteria inactive) or find a new recipe. With this easy recipe, you won't even need an ice cream maker.
Ice Cream in a Bag
1 cup milk
1 cup half and half
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Crushed ice
1 cup rock salt
1 quart-sized freezer bag
1 gallon-sized freezer bag
Duct tape
Bath towel
Put the milk, half and half, sugar and vanilla in a 1-quart freezer bag and seal. Fold a piece of duct tape over the seal. Place the bag with the ingredients inside a gallon-sized freezer bag. Pack the larger bag with crushed ice around the smaller bag. Pour ¾ to 1 cup of salt evenly over the ice. Seal the outer bag. Wrap in a bath towel and shake for 10 minutes. Open the outer bag and remove the inner bag with the ingredients. Wipe off the bag to be sure salt water doesn't get into the ice cream. When ice cream has formed, cut the top off the bag and spoon into cups.
Makes four servings (about ½ cup per serving). Each serving has 150 calories, 8 grams (g) of fat, 50 milligrams of sodium and 15 percent of the daily value for calcium.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. If the promise of pizza without setting down your game controller isn't enough, broadcast network the CW has now added an app for Xbox Live. For the many cord cutters that rely on a high-speed Internet connection for their video entertainment needs rather than a cable or satellite TV subscription (or old-fashioned rabbit ears), this is possibly very good news. The CW app will offer viewers the option of watching new episodes of its programs the day after they air on television. And unlike on other services such as Hulu, you don't have to authenticate with a cable or satellite TV subscription before gaining access to all those new shows, either. But you do need an annual Xbox Gold membership (a paid subscription). The CW's programming includes guilty pleasures like Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, Arrow, and Beauty and the Beast. The move is also interesting given the recent fight many of the broadcast stations are currently in with TV anywhere startup Aereo, which wants to provide people with access to all freely broadcasted content within their local area across their mobile devices and PCs. The CW would be smart to continue making it easy for people to watch its programs for free before Aereo offers them a more attractive option.

Nikon cameras do. There's an option to turn it on in the menus, but it's off by default. It even verifies the image in-camera, showing a symbol during image review if the image is authentic. And at this point it's looking a lot more useful than the Canon version, but who knows if some less attention-grabbing person/group has broken it?

"Everyone's A Photographer" Opening Party
Friday night was the big opening of Laura Austin's "Everyone's A Photographer" and it did not disappoint. We left San Clemente at about 7pm in hopes of missing the Friday night rush hour zone and were moderately successful arriving at that gallery at 8:30pm. A harsh reminder why I seldom make the trek up to LA. 3 hours of driving for about 2 hours of fun is difficult to rationalize sometimes. Upon finding parking (which resulted in a $58 parking ticket) and being greeted at the corner North Lauren Ave. and Santa Monica BLVD by an apologetic young lady squatting with her pants around her ankles pissing the hardest stream of urine I have ever personally witnessed, we made our way through the huge crowd of smokers out front of the Lomography Gallery. The place was packed with all walks of life. I saw Vern Laird there but did not find were the skater contingent was camped out. As I mentioned before, it was packed. PBR was flowing. It was perhaps some of the best people watching I have experienced in recent memory. 6 inch heels are the norm and men rocking an Abraham Lincoln/Amish/Frankenstein combo look was regarded by the masses as "nothing out of the ordinary" it appeared. My date and I (she was looking goooood and somehow got the boots memo) were dressed in our Sunday best and I hope we did not stick out too blatantly. The actual photos for the photo show were situated on a smallish wall upstairs and really are pretty impressive. Laura has some awesomely eclectic and talented friends and connections (see attached bios). This girl is going places. After checking out the photos and saying hello to many friends that also came out to support Laura we ventured off to get a burger and wound up being serenaded by trannies lip-syncing the alphabet song not once but twice because the tip-jug was not adequately filled…all in all it was an awesome night in LA. A big congratulation goes to Laura Austin for putting together a great bunch of people and a fantastic show for the Lomo gallery. If you are in the area, definitely check it out. And I'd imagine that the closing event on November 29th will be a good time…— Chris Bywater

President Mwai Kibaki says its is the duty of all Kenyans, especially politicians, to ensure the general election is peaceful.
The president said a peaceful, just election and smooth transition will send out a clear message that Kenya is the democratic and economic beacon of the region. "I want everyone to make up his mind that we will have peaceful elections. Let us all play our individual roles in that realisation," he said.
Kibaki appealed to politicians to conduct their campaigns peacefully to ensure that the forthcoming elections are held "in an atmosphere of peace, mutual respect and co-operation". The President was speaking at the Bomas of Kenya during the official opening of the National Conference Towards Peaceful Elections. The meeting brought together Kenyans from all corners and sectors to deliberate on how to ensure peace before, during and after the elections.
Kibaki said elections come and go but the country should remain united by embracing peace. He urged aspirants and their supporters to hunt for votes "in a manner that will accord voters room to make independent and informed choices". The President caution against power-hungry leaders who will stop at nothing to win votes, even if it means compromising security.
"A lot of campaign money will be poured to influence voters but that is not enough reason to disrupt peace and harmonious co-existence in the country," he added. While commenting on the recent ethnic and clan feuds that ahve killed over 70 people in Mandera, Wajir and Tana River Counties, Kibaki said that all Kenyans should live harmoniously since their are enough resources for everyone.
"There is enough room for all Kenyans to live together peacefully. As we devolve responsibility to the 47 counties, this message must be reinforced among all Kenyans," Kibaki said. The President advised all Kenyans to guard against reckless utterances and actions that could compromise the keeping of the peace in the country.

"As if Kevin Smith directed Unbreakable" - Efilmcritic
"An absolutely stunning performance from Michael Rapaport" - Boxoffice
Sharp writing, a deft touch behind the camera and a stunning performance by lead actor Michael Rapaport make Special a remarkably fresh and unique take on the superhero genre.
Perennial supporting man Rapaport steps into a rare lead role as Les, a solitary parking enforcement officer who volunteers for an experimental anti-depression drug trial. The drug, marketed under the brand name of Special, is designed to block the brain chemicals that trigger feelings of self doubt but it does far more than that for Les. Shortly after he begins taking it he gains the ability to fly; he becomes telepathic; he can walk through walls. A life long comic book fan Les takes this as a sign that he is called to life as a super hero and quits his job to focus purely on performing heroic acts. But it isn't long before two strange men in suits and a limo begin following Les wherever he goes and the use of his powers seems to exact a physical toll.
Special is at once an incredibly realistic take on the super hero genre, a character study of a man descending into madness, and a blacker than pitch dark comedy. - Todd Brown

We all get input when we're writing our books. We get it from friends and family, and perfect strangers we never met. But a good writer gives equal weight to every word that's said about his work, whether encouraging, or harsh. Ultimately, the decision is ours. Can't blame the friends for not saying the right things in their critiques. Can't blame family for not rooting hard enough. We own the story. We the writers own the story.
I've added a new beginning. A 2000 word first chapter just finished that'll make it easier to sequence the parts I already had finished, and it'll add a little spark to the opening. It's a perfect catalyst for events that follow. I'd been keeping it as back story, but the great thing about self-publishing is that I really don't have to worry about word count. yeah, I worked hard to cut 20K words from the WIP, but I don't feel guilty for adding 2K back, because I don't have to convince any agent that the thing will be commercially viable. No agent has to worry about selling my book. That's a wonderfully liberating feeling. I own it. I'll live with the consequences of what happens if the thing is 2K words too long.
Probably meaningless to most people, but i think there will be authors out there who know what I'm talking about.

Home lost in Methow Valley fires
Update, 6:45 a.m.: Highway 153 is now open to one lane of traffic between Carlton and Gold Creek.
CARLTON — One home has burned down and dozens more are threatened by four fires burning in the Methow Valley.
Fire spokesman Jacob McCann said he did not know if any homes were lost today, although several homes are within the fire's footprint.
But Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said his deputies confirmed that a Carlton-area home did burn down this afternoon, and everyone inside got out safely.
McCann said that by this afternoon, about 4,500 acres had burned. He didn't have additional information this evening, but said, "I'm expecting that number to shoot up because we had such active fire this afternoon.
The Stokes Road Fire, where about 7 homes were under immediate evacuation recommendations, came back down Texas Creek and crossed Highway 153 this afternoon.
The highway is now closed from Carlton to Gold Creek.
Residents in other areas, including Gold Creek, Libby Creek and some near Pearrygin, were also warned to be ready to leave at a moment's notice, Rogers said.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Tash Walker, brandrepublic.com, Thursday, 06 December 2012 08:30AM
Being a good mum has always been a bit of a challenge right? Latest insight from The Mix has confirmed that this has never been more true, but also that brands have an opportunity to help mums out and in doing so, becoming a firm family favourite.
Most of us are familiar with the age-old dilemma most mums face when it comes to feeding the troops.
It is often a case of making sure that you have clean plates and no arguments, but when it comes to shopping, mums often feel under siege. It is about getting in and out as quickly as possible with a minimum of fuss, certainly no time for perusing the aisles at length.
In fact we often see as part of our accompanied shops that up to 90% of purchases are the same week in week out; this is habitual shopping at its best or worst depending on your perspective.
If you are one of the 90% chosen few each week, then this is all good news, but if you are not how do you go about getting in the trolley?
At The Mix, we believe the shopping trip is just one aspect of the problem. To uncover the opportunity we also look at the home environment, to understand the tension that mums face once they get the shopping home.
To that end, and by spending time with mums blogging online, we have been able to identify a new trend with mums, particularly those with teenage kids - the need to please!
With the start of secondary school, mum often feels as though her little cherub has started to fly the nest, particularly as they start making more and more food decisions of their own - from choosing school meals over lunch-boxes, to earning small bits of money to buy their own snacks.
Kids are testing the boundaries of what they can do for themselves. The net result is that mums aren't quite needed as much as they once were and this presents them with a dilemma and brands with an opportunity.
We have consistently seen mums adapting their behavior, becoming a little less strict and a little more willing to treat, a small way of staying needed & gleaning popularity points. This is where her current shopping behavior is letting her down. With 90% of the stuff going in the trolley being the same, week in week out, it becomes harder to treat, harder to excite and harder to stay popular.
The tension is clear:
So what is she after? She wants to know if she buys something, that it will be liked and be eaten but she also wants her family to be just a bit excited about what she is buying, (and even prompting a "thanks mum!") and as we all know from Persil's Dirt is Good Campaign, making mums feel good about themselves counts for a lot.
So who is doing a good job of this? There are some brands cracking this tension. Maggi, in the dry recipe mixes aisle for one, is a brand experiencing fantastic growth.It offers mums that holy grail of no fuss cooking but with a hint of excitement that the family are craving.
Equally, you can look to other brands in the quick short-cuts department for this hint of excitement - with Old El Paso doing a great job of getting the family round a table in a hands on way, surely the bonding experience mums are really craving.
From spending time with mums it is clear there are some rules that make that 'twist' worth the gamble:

Pa. man angered as ex-wife, thought dead, surfaces
LITITZ, Pa. A Pennsylvania man who became a suspect after his wife vanished 11 years ago says the news that she has surfaced in Florida angers him because of how her disappearance affected their children.
Lee Heist spoke with reporters on Wednesday, after police said Brenda Heist disclosed her identity and told them she took off for Florida on a whim, slept under bridges and ate food scavenged from restaurant trash.
Lee Heist had been investigated as a suspect after she disappeared while they were going through an amicable divorce in 2002.
He said Brenda Heist and their son and daughter have expressed a desire to talk, but for now they're taking things slowly.
He obtained a court order declaring her legally dead a few years ago.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A central Pennsylvania woman who mysteriously disappeared after dropping off her children for school 11 years ago has surfaced in Florida and has told police she traveled there on a whim with homeless hitchhikers, slept under bridges and survived by scavenging food and panhandling, authorities said Wednesday.
Brenda Heist, 53, had been declared legally dead, Lititz Borough Police Det. John Schofield said. The detective said he met with her in Florida on Monday and she expressed shame and apologized for what she did to her family.
Heist was going through an amicable divorce in 2002 when she got some bad news about future housing plans, Schofield said. She was crying in a park when some strangers befriended her, then invited her to join them as they began a monthlong hitchhiking journey to south Florida, he said.
Her ex-husband got the courts to declare her legally dead two years ago and he has remarried, Schofield said.
"She has a birth certificate and a death certificate so she's got a long ways to make this right again," Schofield said. "She's got to take it slow with her family, I'm sure, and it's going to be a long process."
Inside her home the day Heist disappeared, dinner was defrosting and the laundry was half done. Police located her car in a neighboring county but none of her personal belongings were taken.
When Schofield called to meet with her ex-husband Lee Heist and their daughter, they assumed he would be notifying them that her remains were found, the detective said.
Lee Heist struggled financially after his wife disappeared, losing his job and his house, the detective said. She had been a bookkeeper at a car dealership.
Heist turned herself in to Monroe County sheriff's deputies in Key Largo, Fla., on Friday, regarding some outstanding warrants, and then informed them she was a missing person. She had apparently been homeless for the past two years, most recently living in a tent community run by a social service agency.
"She said she was at the end of her rope, she was tired of running," said Schofield.
For about seven years she lived with a man in a camper in Key West and worked odd jobs. Schofield said she never had access to a computer and never checked to see if she was being sought, although she assumed she was.

'Castle': Seamus and Juliana Dever on their TV baby, acting togetherAdd to Favorites | Castle
In the upcoming "Castle" episode, "Under Fire," Detective Kevin Ryan ( Seamus Dever) finds himself in a deadly situation, right at the moment when his wife, Jenny ( Juliana Dever), goes into labor. Will Ryan survive long enough to become a father?
We asked the Devers -- a married couple in real life as well as on TV -- about the episode and the impact of a baby on "Castle."
Zap2it: What can you say about "Under Fire"?
Juliana Dever: It's actually one of the most exciting "Castle" episodes that I've seen in awhile -- and so much fun to work on. But way more dramatic than I expected it to be! We talk about ... Kevin is such a father, that kind of fumbling dad who's trying to get it right. That's really what we thought this episode was gonna reflect. And my jaw dropped when I read it. It's a very dramatic entry into the world for Baby Ryan.
Seamus Dever: Oh yeah! Basically, think about the most simple way that the baby would actually arrive. And then put a "Castle" twist on it where lives are in danger, things are in doubt, characters are possibly getting killed off the show. It's that kind of episode.
Can you describe any of the plot and the danger Ryan faces?
Seamus Dever: Jenny's past-due. She's two days past-due, and Ryan's been checking his phone to make sure that he gets dial tone. He wants to be there for the moment. It's very important for him to be there and be ready. So in the midst of being there and being ready, Esposito and Ryan go to check out an arsonist target they're investigating -- some arsons have been happening and there's murder associated with that.
They go to this empty warehouse. And it turns out that it's the arsonist's lair and he had it booby-trapped. So a bomb goes off and they get trapped in this room. The whole building's on fire, nobody can find them. And it's in doubt whether Ryan's going to survive, whether he's going to make it. There's an awesome scene where Ryan jerry-rigs an old ...
Juliana Dever: You're going to tell the whole episode here!
Seamus Dever: There's a great scene where Ryan jerry-rigs a hard line on the phone and he's able to communicate to Castle and Beckett on the outside.
It turns out that Jenny has shown up to the crime scene, watching this warehouse on fire. And he gets to say goodbye, essentially -- "I'm not going to be there." I'm really looking forward to that. It was some good work by everyone.
What was it like to work with babies on "Castle"?
Seamus Dever: There's always stuff with babies! You only get like 15 minutes with the baby ... It's like, "You've got 15 minutes. Go!" Like with a stopwatch. And everyone has to work very quickly and make sure the scenes are there. But we've had very good luck with that lately. We've had some good times with that.
Obviously the baby will affect the Ryan family, but how might the new addition impact the rest of the "Castle" characters?
Seamus Dever: We've sort of covered it in the last episode, where Beckett and Castle are considering if they'd want to have a child and that sort of thing. And maybe Esposito starts to think about maybe getting serious about something in his life.
Does the new baby mean that we'll be seeing more of Jenny in upcoming episodes?
Juliana Dever: We actually never know! There's a lot of ground to cover with "Castle," with the relationships of the main characters and some of the crimes that they solve. So I have no idea.
Seamus Dever: We hope so. Because it's fun having Julie around!
"Castle" airs its "Under Fire" episode Monday (Jan. 6) at 10 p.m. on ABC.

Confiscated horses auctionedBILLINGS, Mont. — Four-hundred of the 829 horses found abandoned and starving this winter have been sold at an auction, one for $2,000 but most going for $200 to $800.
BILLINGS, Mont. — Four-hundred of the 829 horses found abandoned and starving this winter have been sold at an auction, one for $2,000 but most going for $200 to $800.
"You could go anywhere in the world and not find as nice a bunch of big, stout ranch horses as I see here," Billings (Mont.) horseman Ward Fenton told bidders at the start of the recent, two-day auction.
However, Jim Glenn of Sidney, Iowa, who had helped sort the horses last fall with the former owner, James Leachman, was saddened by their current condition.
"They were hog fat (last fall). If you fed them corn, they wouldn't have been fatter," Glenn says, estimating the horses had lost from 300 to 500 pounds during the winter. "I was going to buy some myself, but they looked so bad, I'm not. I was just sick when I went home."
Drawing interest
But others of the more than 200 bidders from across the country and Canada came to buy, and horses sold at about one a minute though they had ribs showing and no American Quarter Horse Registration Papers.
Cory Wilson of Meadow Lake, Alberta, bought 14 horses and planned to buy 15 more to take to two Canadian ranches.
"Those mares are going up to the Waldorf Ranch in Saskatchewan to raise colts," Wilson says.
In December, a veterinarian warned that hundreds of the horses were trapped in a pasture with no grass and were on the verge of starvation. Seven horses were found near death and four were shot on the recommendation of veterinarian Jeff Peila of Shepherd Mont.
The horses have been fed about 150 tons of donated hay since mid-January.
Former owner
Leachman had filed for bankruptcy and a judge ordered his two ranches sold to help satisfy his debts. In April 2010, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Ralph Kirscher gave Leachman 14 days to deal with the hundreds of horses grazing on his property.
Leachman has said he decided against selling the horses because of a price collapse in the horse market. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of animal cruelty. His trial is scheduled for June 3.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs confiscated the horses after Leachman failed to move them from neighboring ranches and Crow tribal lands, and in March, members of the Crow Tribe rounded up most of the horses in a large pasture and neighboring ranches and drove them into pens that used to hold cattle at the former Leachman Cattle Co. Their brands were inspected except for nine newborn foals being sold with their mothers.
Ed Parisian of the Bureau of Indian Affairs says the sale was one of the largest he was aware of in the agency's history.
"If your livestock is trespassing, you move them," he says. "We've never been here before."

And in agrarian Justice, he proposed taxing the landed rich to provide grants to young people and pensions to the elderly.
This policy would have put Roosevelt in the same general category of agrarian reform as Stalin and Mao Tse-tung.
1610s, "relating to the land," from Middle French loy agrarienne "agrarian law," from Latin Lex agraria, the Roman law for the division of conquered lands, from agrarius "of the land," from ager (genitive agri) "a field," from PIE *agro- (cf. Greek agros "field," Gothic akrs, Old English æcer "field;" see acre). Meaning "having to do with cultivated land" first recorded 1792.

Feds To Pay For Graphic Anti-Smoking Ads
Federal health officials unveiled a graphic new anti-smoking campaign featuring testimonials from ex-smokers about the toll of tobacco on their health.
These aren't the usual public service announcements. The $54 million "Tips from Smokers" campaign marks the first time the federal government plans to pay to run anti-smoking ads nationwide, officials said.
The ads will run for 12 weeks on TV, on the radio, in magazines and newspapers, on billboards, online and elsewhere beginning March 19, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which developed the campaign.
One ad, for example, features a woman who has a hole in her neck and has to speak through a small speaker in her throat because of cancer.
"Although they may be tough to watch, the ads show real people living with real, painful consequences from smoking," said CDC Director Thomas R. Frieden. "There is sound evidence that supports the use of these types of hard-hitting images and messages to encourage smokers to quit, to keep children from ever beginning to smoke, and to drastically reduce the harm caused by tobacco."
The campaign comes as the tobacco industry is fighting an attempt by the Food and Drug Administration to require graphic new warning labels on cigarette packages. A federal judge recently ruled the agency's mandate violates the Constitution.
Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the United States, killing more than 443,000 Americans each year, according to the CDC. Cigarette smoking costs the nation $96 billion in direct medical costs and $97 billion in lost productivity each year.

The Artists Rifles[nb 1] is a special forces regiment of the British Army Reserve. Raised in London in 1859 as a volunteer light infantry unit, the regiment saw active service during the Boer Wars and World War I, earning a number of battle honours. It did not serve outside Britain during World War II, as it was used as an officer training unit at that time. The regiment was disbanded in 1945. In 1947, it was re-established to resurrect the Special Air Service Regiment.[2] Today, the full title of the Regiment is 21 Special Air Service Regiment (Artists) (Reserve) (21 SAS(R)) and with 23 Special Air Service Regiment (23 SAS(R)), it is part of the Special Air Service (Reserve) (SAS(R)).
Formation and 19th century[edit]
The regiment was formed in 1859, part of the widespread volunteer movement which developed in the face of potential French invasion after Felice Orsini's attack on Napoleon III was linked to Britain.[3] The group was organised in London by Edward Sterling, an art student, and comprised various professional painters, musicians, actors, architects and others involved in creative endeavours; a profile it strove to maintain for some years. It was established on 28 February 1860 as the 38th Middlesex (Artists') Rifle Volunteer Corps, with headquarters at Burlington House.[1] Its first commanders were the painters Henry Wyndham Phillips and Frederic Leighton. The unit's badge, designed by J. W. Wyon, shows the heads of the Roman gods Mars and Minerva in profile.[4] Until 1914 the regimental full dress uniform was light grey with white facings, silver buttons and braid. This distinctive uniform dated from the regiment's foundation as a volunteer unit. After World War I standard khaki was the normal dress.[5]
In September 1880, the corps became the 20th Middlesex (Artists') Rifle Volunteer Corps, with headquarters at Duke's Road, off Euston Road, London (now The Place, home of the Contemporary Dance Trust). It formed the 7th Volunteer Battalion of the Rifle Brigade from 1881 until 1891 and the 6th Volunteer Battalion from 1892 to 1908. During this period, The Artists Rifles fought in the Second Boer War as part of the City Imperial Volunteers.[6] Following the formation of the Territorial Force, the Artists Rifles was one of twenty-six volunteer battalions in the London and Middlesex areas that combined to form the new London Regiment.[nb 2] It became the 28th (County of London) Battalion of The London Regiment on 1 April 1908.[8]
After the 1860s the voluntary recruitment basis of the regiment gradually broadened to include professions other than artistic ones. By 1893 lawyers and architects made up 24% of the unit, doctors followed with 10% and civil engineers 6%. Sculptors and painters totaled about 5%.[9]
20th century[edit]
The Artists Rifles was a popular unit for volunteers. It had been increased to twelve companies in 1900 and was formed into three sub-battalions in 1914, and recruitment was eventually restricted by recommendation from existing members of the battalion. It particularly attracted recruits from public schools and universities; on this basis, following the outbreak of the First World War, a number of enlisted members of The Artists Rifles were selected to be officers in other units of the 7th Division.[1] This exercise was so successful that, early in 1915, selected Artists officers and NCOs were transferred to run a separate Officers Training Corps, in which poet Wilfred Owen trained before posting to the Manchester Regiment[10]; the remainder being retained as a fighting unit. Over fifteen thousand men passed through the battalion during the war, more than ten thousand of them becoming officers.[11] The battalion eventually saw battle in France in 1917 and 1918. Casualties suffered by both members of this battalion and amongst officers who had trained with The Artists Rifles before being posted to other regiments were 2,003 killed, 3,250 wounded, 533 missing and 286 prisoners of war.[1] Members of the Regiment won eight Victoria Crosses (though none did so while serving with the Regiment), fifty-six Distinguished Service Orders and over a thousand other awards for gallantry.[11]
In the early 1920s, the unit was reconstituted as an infantry regiment within the Territorial Army, as the 28th County of London Regiment. In 1937, this regiment became part of The Prince Consort's Own Rifle Brigade.[12]
The regiment was not deployed during the Second World War, functioning again as an Officers Training Corps throughout the war.[1]
It was disbanded in 1945, but reformed in The Rifle Brigade in January 1947 and transferred to The Army Air Corps in July as the 21st Special Air Service Regiment (Artists Rifles).[2] The number 21 SAS was chosen to perpetuate two disbanded wartime regiments 1 SAS and 2 SAS, with the 1 and the 2 being reversed into 21. 21 SAS was active during the Malayan Emergency and in many subsequent conflicts. In 1952, members of The Artists Rifles who had been involved in special operations in Malaya formed 22 SAS, the modern special forces regiment – the only time a Territorial Army unit has been used to form a unit in the Regular Army.[13]
For much of the Cold War, 21 SAS's role was to provide stay-behind parties in the event of a Warsaw Pact invasion of western Europe (as part of the Corps Patrol Unit alongside 23 SAS and the Honourable Artillery Company).[14][page needed]
Current role and structure[edit]
On 1 September 2014, 21 SAS left United Kingdom Special Forces and was placed under the command of 1st Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Brigade alongside 23 SAS and the HAC.[15][16] They are tasked with providing Human Environment Reconnaissance and Analysis Patrols.[17]
21 SAS currently consists of:[citation needed]
- 'HQ' Squadron (Regent's Park)
- 'A' Squadron (Regent's Park)
- 'C' Squadron (Basingstoke/Cambridge)
- 'E' Squadron (Newport/Exeter)
Battle honours[edit]
See Special Air Service for their battle honours
- Boer War: South Africa 1900–01.
- The Great War (3 battalions): Ypres 1917, Passchendaele, Somme 1918, St. Quentin, Bapaume 1918, Arras 1918, Ancre 1918, Albert 1918, Drocourt-Quéant, Hindenburg Line, Canal du Nord, Cambrai 1918, Pursuit to Mons, France and Flanders 1914–18.[1]
War memorial[edit]
The unit's war memorial in the entrance portico of the Royal Academy at Burlington House commemorates the 2003 men who gave their lives in the Great War with a second plaque to those who died in World War II.[citation needed]
