Molson Coors Canada Takes a Stand!Share Tweet
We've always known that being a great beer company involves more than just brewing.
In that tradition, we couldn't be prouder to be the first beer company in Canada to feature a stamp of responsibility on our products. You'll start to see it on packs of Molson Canadian, Coors Light, and Molson Dry in Ontario and Quebec. Eventually, you'll see it on all our packs, everywhere.
The stamp is a symbol of our commitment to four major areas of responsible production, sale and consumption of the beer we've always been proud to call our own. It's also an invitation to all Canadians to stand with us in taking these issues of responsibility to a new level of prominence.
Our icons have also been made available to other brewers in Canada! Over the course of the next few months, brewers like Picaroon's Traditional Ales, Cassel Brewery Company and Village Brewery will join and feature their own versions of the icons as well.
And now that our commitment to responsible choices is right where you can see it, we want you to know exactly what it means. For more info check out Responsible Choices.
Here's to Responsible Choices,
Cheers CaroleB

I heard last night that the Tigers and Cubs are discussing a potential trade involving pitcher Rick Porcello, who also interests the Orioles. Now here's the rumored kicker: The Tigers are trying to get the Orioles involved because they want shortstop J.J. Hardy, and they don't feel as though the Cubs have the necessary components to make it a two-team trade.
I still don't think the Orioles are willing to part with Hardy unless they're absolutely overwhelmed by an offer. They love the left side of their infield. They're not looking to shift Manny Machado to shortstop in 2013.

New Findings of AdequacyThe information provided below is a general summary of the County's findings of adequacy process. The specific regulations, contained in the Broward County Land Development Code, have been adopted by ordinance of the County Commission and cannot be superseded by this presentation of information. Please contact us for details.
Expiration of Findings of AdequacyAs of January, 1997, plat approvals and approvals of amendments to plats which either change or intensify the permitted levels of development have been subject to the expiration of the findings of adequacy made by the Board of County Commissioners at the time of approval. These findings, regarding the adequacy of services and facilities expire five (5) years from the date of approval if either of the following has occurred:
If the findings of adequacy expire, then no additional building permits can be issued until the Broward County Board of County Commissioners makes a subsequent finding that the application satisfies the adequacy requirements set forth within the Broward County Land Development Code.
Application and Review ProcessIf the findings of adequacy expire, the property owner(s) must file an application for a new Findings of Adequacy. The application and review process are similar to the plat process, with three (3) exceptions:
Similar to filing an application for plat approval, at the end of the thirty-seven (37) working day review process, we issue a new Development Review Report, which updates all the conditions necessary to bring the application into compliance with the current Broward County Land Development Code, and other advisory comments on issues that will have to be addressed prior to receipt of a certificate of occupancy. The new Development Review Report also includes a staff recommendation of either approval, deferral for one or more reasons, or denial for one or more reasons. After transmittal of the Development Review Report, an applicant has five (5) months to submit a "written authorization to proceed."
If the "written authorization to proceed" is not received within the five (5) month period, the application for new findings of adequacy shall be deemed withdrawn.
If there are any objections to the Development Review report, they must be specified in the "written authorization to proceed." If any new objections are raised after the submission of the letter to proceed, staff will recommend deferral of the application at the County Commission meeting.
County Commission Meeting and Affidavit of ApplicationAfter receipt of the letter to proceed, staff will schedule the application for the next available County Commission plat meeting in accordance with the published Filing Deadline Schedule. The time frame is approximately three (3) weeks from a filing deadline.
A copy of the final Development Review Report, transmitted to the County Commission, will be available for the applicant's review prior to the County Commission meeting. A blank affidavit will be attached to the Development Review Report. If the applicant signs the affidavit, agreeing with staff recommendations, the request will remain on the County Commission's Consent Agenda. If the affidavit is not signed by the applicant before the County Commission meeting, the request will be automatically deferred for at least two (2) weeks and will be rescheduled for discussion at a later County Commission meeting.
Approval and Recordation ProcessThe Broward County Commission takes final action on applications for new findings of adequacy. If the application is approved, the applicant has up to twelve (12) months to record an agreement authorizing the new findings of adequacy for a specific level of development, with a new five (5) year time frame to obtain permits. During the twelve (12) month period all conditions of approval must be either completed or secured via agreements (and a form of security) acceptable to the County Attorney. The recordation process is coordinated by us. No building permits for the development affected by the new findings of adequacy may be issued until the agreement is recorded.
Each application is approved with a restrictive note limiting the type and amount of development that may be constructed. A property owner may return to the County Commission to request changes to the note, after approval or recordation of the agreement amending the restrictive note. The County Commission will review the application for any additional impacts of the proposed change. A property owner may also return to the County Commission after approval or recordation to change other conditions of approval.

The Institute for Health and Aging (IHA/Institute) was established as an organized research unit (ORU) of the University of California (UC), School of Nursing in 1985. It was the UC's first campus-wide ORU devoted to the study of health and aging issues. The original mission of the Institute was to "foster multidisciplinary, collaborative research, education, and public service in the field of health and aging." Over the years, the mission of the Institute has continued to stress multidisciplinary, collaborative research, education, and public service. Within these three realms, the Institute has expanded its research interests to encompass more broadly issues of health, illness, and social and economic policy research that impact the aging process and the elderly population across the life course. We have come to realize that many of the health-related disparities and issues that pertain to the elderly as a subpopulation have their seeds earlier in the life course. Expanding the scope of our work under the rubric of "health" has allowed us focus our research and public service efforts more powerfully on the promotion of health and prevention of disease in old age.
The Institute provides education and training in aging and health services through several pre- and postdoctoral programs, and through the teaching involvement of our faculty in mentoring, serving on student committees, and in the classroom. For many years, we have been an active partner in the IHA/IHPS (Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies) Policy Fellowship Program. The program is designed to provide and advance career opportunities for scholars in academic and applied research settings and stimulate research by offering graduate and postdoctoral scholars training and dissertation research opportunities related to health and aging. The postdoctoral training consists of supervised research, career counseling, and a seminar program that includes seminars in health policy research, health services research, methods, and writing. The program has been funded by the Agency for Health Care Research and Quality and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The Institute for Health and Aging is one of the premier health and aging research units in the world, and our research is recognized nationally and internationally. IHA faculty members have made major contributions to the fields of health policy, aging, health promotion, the economics of tobacco control, and disability; and are major collaborators with both the California Department of Public Health and the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
Work of the Institute is conducted by individual researchers and through three research centers on the Laurel Heights campus, and through a research unit in Sacramento that carries out contract research for the State of California. Together, these sources have produced an extraordinary number and variety of respected, oftentimes seminal, research studies.
Over the years, the Institute's programs of research, public service, and education have grown beyond the historical emphasis on aging and aging health policy. Our collaborative, multidisciplinary academic environment has attracted new faculty and has enabled the Institute to expand in new directions. Today, IHA faculty primarily conduct research, public service, and educational activities in five substantive areas: 1) aging, disability, and long-term services and supports; 2) women's health; 3) child health; 4) health of diverse populations; and 5) health promotion.

Gov. Bill Richardson got serious in a letter to members of the Congressional Appropriation Committees Tuesday with regard to the looming funding crisis facing New Mexicos two national labs. FY 2007 ends Sunday and many jobs may depend on the budgets outcome.
As governor of New Mexico, I am writing to you to express my deep concern over the proposed appropriation for Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), which would signify cuts to these most important national security resources, Richardson stated in his letter to Senate Appropriations Committee Chair Robert Byrd, D-Nev., House Appropriations Committee Chair David Obey, D-WI, and six other Congressional Committee chairmen and ranking members.
I urge you, while working on the FY08 Energy and Water Appropriations bills, to take up the Senate funding levels that will allow the labs to continue their vital scientific work. In addition, as the end of the funding year nears, I respectfully request that you fund the Continuing Resolution at FY07 levels to allow (LANL and SNL) to continue their mission without interruption until Congress completes its work on the FY08 funding bill.
LANL spokesman Kevin Roark addressed Richardsons letter during an interview this morning.

Four Texas Nobelists Agree: Don't Mess with Textbooks
An op-ed piece by Alfred Gilman, who was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize in Medicine, and signed by sixteen members of the National Academy of Science and/or the Institute of Medicine, including three other Nobel laureates, appeared in the Dallas Morning News on Sunday, September 21, 2003. All of the signatories live and work in north Texas.
Testimony on Texas Textbooks
A standing-room-only crowd attended the hearing on biology textbooks before the Texas Board of Education in Austin on September 10. More than 160 people signed up to speak before the board, and the testimony continued into the wee hours.
School Board May Change Evolution Policy
On August 26 the school board of Washakie County School District #1, in Worland, Wyoming, voted to consider changing the district's policy on teaching biology. According to an Associated Press news report the proposed change reads: "It shall be the policy ... when teaching Darwin's theory of evolution that it is only a theory and not a fact.
"Don't Mess With Textbooks!"
"Evolution is a normal part of science and should be treated the same way as all other scientific ideas." That was the message to Texas authorities from the authors of leading biology textbooks, delivered on September 8 in a statement jointly released by Texas Citizens for Science and the National Center for Science Education. The authors, who are scientists and educators, also stated, "It is a disservice to students to mislead them about the important position that evolution holds in biological and other sciences."

Enjoying "Once" as a Family in Chile
Our friends have come to the end of their second week of vacation in Chile, taking their 3 little kids and staying with missionary friends and experiencing life with the Chileans. I asked Steph if I could highlight some of their adventures, especially when it comes to food.
Enjoying ONCE: One of my favorite things is that the Chileans eat their larger meal in the afternoon, around 1 or 2 pm. They then have siesta (rest time), and everything opens back up for business around 3 or 4. In the evening, they have what they call ONCE, a light meal of tomatoes, avacados, bread, eggs, carrots. Often times people get together for ONCE, and it just seems so simple, so easy. I am totally doing it when we get back to the States. What is absolutely proven to me is that you do not need to make an elaborate meal–just put out some food items on the table and enjoy the people you are with.
Farmer's MARKET (Feria): We've made it every Tuesday and Friday to the farmer's market (or Feria). We walk there with empty bags and hoof it home with full bags. It is amazing to have all the fruits and vegetables that you are used to seeing in the summer. The strawberries are just coming to an end, but so good. The first time we went, we took the kids and ate our way through the market. At the end, the kids were covered in strawberries. It's so fun to interact with the local farmers. One very key ingredient to their cooking is squash; they grow the biggest squash! You decide how big of a hunk of squash you want, and then they get out their knife and start sawing off a piece. It is delicioso.
A new TABLE: The kitchen at the house where we are staying is tiny, with no counter space. My husband and friends spent one day to build a bench. The hardest part was finding a store that would sell them the wood they needed, and stay open long enough to make the boards. They were at one store, ready to buy the wood, but then it closed for siesta. So they had to come back the next day. It is crazy to have the money ready to buy, and then, "Oh you'll have to come back". A little taste of Chilean life.
Cerdo Boca: One night at dinner (or Once) our son was telling a story and talking with his mouth full. I told him in Spanish to close his mouth. I said, "Cerdo Boca." One of our new friends laughed because what I just said was "Pig Mouth." What I should have said was "Cerrado Boca." Oh so close! Our oldest daughter brings this up almost every day, she thinks it is so funny.
Our friends dreamed and saved for years to take their family to another country, for their family to experience a different way of living.
For some, even a "better" way of living.
All three of our children have been to Mexico on mission trips to build houses, but not our family of 5 experiencing it together. One day …
Have you ever taken your family to experience life in another country? And how does a lighter meal around 3-4 sound to you?
8 Responses to "Enjoying "Once" as a Family in Chile"
How wonderful to be able to do this. Have not done any type of mission work. But my ex-husband used to do Habitat for Humanity – he goes to Honduras, Haiti and New Orleans (after Kristina) for builds. It's a worthy cause which I supported when we were married.
A couple of our children have experienced another culture…. Our oldest daughter went to Denmark as a graduation gift from an exchange student that lived with her dad in high school and who have stayed in touch all these years. Our middle daughter has been to Jamaica with her dad & I twice on mission trips to the mountain areas of the island. This summer our youngest daughter will join us for this trip. It is a true learning experience and one that really bonds family even closer and teaches so much.
As for a light meal …. oh absolutely! I don't like a heavy dinner anyway, but it's our family time so I am naturally going all out for it! =)
We've never been overseas but it is definitely a dream of mine. I would LOVE to try living this way…going to the market to get fresh food every day, eating a big meal earlier in the day, and having to take an afternoon snooze.
Thanks for sharing this!
We often eat our bigger meal in the afternoon and have a light meal in the evening. I like it much better that way and so does my husband, We no longer have children at home and are able to schedule this without any trouble. I also like to shop for produce a few times during the week.
I love this post!! What a wonderful experience to share as a family!! I love the Once…my grandparents eat the same way, big lunch…snacky in the evenings! Very European.
Love it! I
What a wonderful opportunity to experience another culture! I love the idea of the main meal being during the lunch hours and then a siesta. It seems like the day would be lovely and people are in a better frame of mind after a nap!
Not yet. Our kids are still pretty young for a mission trip, but I am looking forward to sharing that experience with them one day. An extended stay in another country sounds wonderful!

A property taken by the city last year after property taxes werent paid will be sold at public auction.
City officials are placing 801 Washington St., one side of a duplex, on the block for a minimum bid of $20,000. The auction is slated at 11 a.m. Feb. 14 in the City Council chambers, 330 Ford St.
The winning bidder would be responsible for $6,800 in unpaid taxes, said City Comptroller Philip A. Cosmo.
The property was originally divided into two apartments, but city staff members determined the apartments would not meet code requirements.

Video: Fire Crews Battle Fire at Former Golebiewski's Toy Store
BUFFALO, NY - Buffalo fire crews are battling a large fire at a vacant building in Buffalo's Genesee-Moselle neighborhood.
The call first went out around 12:30 Tuesday morning of a fire at a vacant building by the intersection of Doat and Genesee Streets.
Crews arriving on scene found heavy smoke & flames pouring from the structure.
The building is located at 1655 Genesee Street and was the former home to Golebiewski's Toy Store. The building has sat vacant since the 1980's and parts were already falling over when it was previously inspected by the fire department.
Due to the dilapidated nature of the building, firefighters assumed defensive positions to fight the flames.

Excellent product. This is the second time I have bought an iStyles skin. The last one for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 was so good and came off easily when I sold it!

MASSENA - Teams joined together Thursday at the opening of the St. Lawrence Junior Carp Tournament in search of landing a big win.
Teams have become a popular way to compete in the tournament, according to organizers from the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce.
It definitely seems like we have higher amount of teams than last year, but we dont know by exactly how much, chamber spokeswoman Alison M. Power said. Its really good. We stress to the kids that the main point of the tournament is to make friends and have fun with each other.
Eighty nine out of 122 kids ages 11 to 18 formed 30 teams that participated in this years tournament, which spans 30 miles from Ogdensburg to Massena.
Chelsea R. Vanroo, 12, Rochester, Matthew J. Henning, 15, Fairport, Mike P. Henning, 16, Fairport, and Jackson M. Vanroo, 15, Rochester, formed Team Jim, in honor of Jackson and Chelseas grandfather, James Vanroo.
Jacksons family first brought us up here about four years ago, and we have come back up here ever since, Matthew said. Its become kind of like a family tradition.
The team of family and friends said they regularly fish together in the Erie Canal near their home, and the tournament has inspired them to fish more often.
Down there the fish dont get as big because the canal is only about 30 feet wide at the most, Matthew said. The size of fish doesnt get past 20 pounds.
As of 11 a.m. Thursday, Team Jim caught one 15-pound fish by Lighthouse Point, Ogdensburg, but they are hoping to catch a lot more when they fish today in Waddington.
Theyre a lot bigger and stronger here, Michael said. Michael said his personal best on the St. Lawrence was a 34-pound carp he caught two years ago.
Cousins Breanna E. Bouchey, 13, Waddington, and Bridget B. Beldock, 18, Lisbon, formed Team Beldock for this years tournament.
I have been doing this ever since I could, when I was 11, Bridget said. I fish a lot with my dad, Steve Beldock.
This is her last year competing in the tournament, but her Breanna said she will keep up the tradition.
Best friends who met at Madrid-Waddington Central School, Colin J. Peacock, 17, Waddington, Ian P. Hawkins, 17, Chase Mills, and Kyle W. Pickering, Madrid, formed Team Raptor. They spent Friday fishing at Wheathouse Bay, Ogdensburg.
Ive got two 13-pounders and an 18-pounder so far, said Colin, who has fished in the tournament for five years.
The boys spent a week preparing for the tournament.
We spent a lot of work baiting and preparing, Ian said. We probably didnt need it, but it was good to do. We did bait work, practiced and made rigs, whatever we needed to do.
They said with good weather they could catch about five to six carp a good day.
First day you just want a couple on the board, second day you just want to pound them, Ian said.
The tournament has brought them even closer.
Brings everyone together and creates sportsmanship and all good fun, Ian said. We meet new people and learn a lot each year.
But its not just about fishing. Its real work, Colin said.
It gets you to learn about having a good attitude towards learning to prepare and work together, he said.
The tournament continues today until 5 p.m. Anyone can follow the action by logging onto the Slic Networks Solution Leaderboard at http://tournament.northcountryguide.com.

How Is Peyronie's Disease Treated? continued...
Penile implants can be used in cases where Peyronie's disease has affected the man's ability to achieve or maintain an erection.
A non-surgical treatment for Peyronie's disease involves injecting the drug Xiaflex directly into the plaque in an attempt to soften the affected tissue, decrease the pain, and correct the curvature of the penis. Vitamin E pills haves also been shown to benefit some men with Peyronie's disease.
Another, less invasive option is laser treatment to thin the plaques of Peyronie's disease.
What Is Balanitis?
Balanitis is an inflammation and/or infection of the head of the penis. A similar condition, balanoposthitis, refers to inflammation of the head of the penis and the foreskin. Symptoms of balanitis include redness or swelling, itching, rash, pain, and a foul-smelling discharge.
What Causes Balanitis?
Balanitis most often occurs in men and boys who have not been circumcised (had their foreskin surgically removed), and who have poor hygiene. Inflammation can occur if the sensitive skin under the foreskin is not washed regularly, allowing sweat, debris, dead skin, and bacteria to collect under the foreskin and cause irritation. The presence of tight foreskin may make it difficult to keep this area clean and can lead to irritation by a foul-smelling substance (smegma) that can accumulate under the foreskin.
Other causes of balanitis may include:
- Dermatitis/allergy.Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin, often caused by an irritating substance or a contact allergy. Sensitivity to chemicals in certain products -- such as soaps, detergents, perfumes, and spermicides -- can cause an allergic reaction, including irritation, itching, and a rash.
- Infection. Infection with the yeast candida albicans (thrush) can result in an itchy, red, spotty rash. Certain sexually transmitted diseases -- including gonorrhea, herpes, and syphilis -- can produce symptoms of balanitis.
In addition, men with diabetes are at greater risk for balanitis. Glucose (sugar) in the urine that is trapped under the foreskin serves as a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast.
How Is Balanitis Treated?
Treatment for balanitis depends on the underlying cause. If there is an infection, treatment will include an appropriate antibiotic or antifungal medication. In cases of severe or persistent inflammation, a circumcision may be recommended.
Taking appropriate hygiene measures can help prevent future bouts of balanitis, such as retracting the foreskin daily and adequately cleaning and drying the head of the penis. In addition, it is important to avoid strong soaps or chemicals, especially those known to cause a skin reaction.

Sweets on yo' feet!

When was the last time you wanted something to be both on your feet and in your belly at the same time? Probably never. Or, if you've been keeping up with our Food Friday franchise, perhaps you felt such a simultaneous urge less than a month ago when we featured the EXACT SAME pair of jelly bean socks that Rita Ora has been snapping multiple (OK, two) photos of today. While we recommended that you wear these Shop Jeen socks to keep your feet warm in the winter, it looks like Ora (according to one caption) might be wearing the colorful candy snack to snazz up her gym attire. Nothing keeps you motivated like sugar on your feet! (And also things like determination and water.)

Tobacco Task Force
Vandal Health Education
Student Recreation Center, Room 102
It is the intention of the University of Idaho Tobacco Task Force that effective Aug. 24, 2015, all University of Idaho properties will prohibit the use of cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, snuff, snus, water pipes, pipes, hookahs, chew, and any other non-combustible tobacco product.
The intent of the proposed tobacco-free policy is to improve the health and safety of all students, staff, faculty, and visitors.
The initiative to creating a tobacco-free campus originated from a movement sciences class project. Four students were tasked with developing a needs assessment on implementing a tobacco-free policy and started with research from other universities.
We researched what other universities were doing effectively as well as what did not work. The student group was invited to speak at a Fresh Air Campus Challenge Event in Portland, Oregon where they made even more contacts within the region.
Upon completion of the needs assessment portion of the course work the student group was tasked with forming a survey to collect student opinion. The student group met with the stats department to develop appropriate methods of data collections.
The survey was approved through the IRB and distributed on campus. After a week of allowing students to take the survey online, emailing the survey to 2000 random student emails, and distributing a physical copy of the survey to random groups on campus, the survey results were in. 985 students took the survey which was more than enough for an appropriate sample size, as per the stats department, for our student population size. 87% of participants were students. 51% favored a tobacco-free campus and 62% favored a smoke-free campus. The student group took these results and their research to several committees on campus.

NATO and U.S.-backed rebel forces in Libya are reportedly engaging in systematic attacks against the black population in what some analysts have called war crimes and even genocide, sparking condemnation worldwide from human-rights groups and officials.
Reports and photographic evidence indicate that numerous atrocities including mass executions have taken place even in recent weeks. Many black victims were found with their hands bound behind their backs and bullets through their skulls.
Horrific internment camps, systematic rape, torture, lynching, and looting of businesses owned by blacks have all been reported as well. And countless sub-Saharan Africans have been forced to flee their homes in Libya to avoid the same fate.
The al-Qaeda-linked rebels' campaign of racist terror began shortly after the Benghazi uprising in February. More than a few videos surfaced on the internet in the early months of the conflict showing brutal lynchings and beheadings while Western-backed rebels cheered.

LISBON Theyre calling it the Redneck Hot Tub, and it might be exactly what your backyard is missing.
The alternative energy class at Lisbon Central School, taught by Alan L. Bouchard, designed and built a hot tub that is heated by solar power and a wood stove.
Youre basically totally off the grid, Mr. Bouchard said of the hot tub.
A simple-enough concept, water for the tub is pre-heated with copper tubes that are exposed to direct sunlight before passing through the wood stove.
On sunny days, this can significantly reduce the amount of wood required get the water warm.
It was the system of copper tubes that proved to be the most challenging part of the project to build, according to David A. Turri, one of the students working on the project.
Mr. Turri said the copper tubes were difficult largely due to the amount of soldering required and the intricacy of the design.
The system also uses a pump powered by a solar panel that circulates water through the system.
Its kind of like a hybrid, Mr. Bouchard said, describing the system.
And thats good in the north country, he said, where sunny days come at a premium.
Built out of a cow watering trough, a 50-gallon metal drum, copper piping and several 2x4 pieces of wood, the entire project cost only roughly $450.
Add the solar panel, which Mr. Bouchard said clocks in at around $650, and youre still talking about a do-it-yourself hot tub thats a lot cheaper than retail.
So far, the class has gotten the water up to temperatures between 95 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit, but they hope to get it even hotter as they continue making adjustments.
One of the biggest benefits of the system, Mr. Bouchard said, is that its a system you can take anywhere you want, because you dont have to plug it in.

Like Punxsutawney Phil with the weather, many people look to the "hemline theory" as an indicator of economic times. For those of you who aren't familiar with this old adage, the theorem posits that you can use skirt-lengths to predict whether the markets will be bullish or bearish. For example, when the stock market is aloft, short skirts rule, whereas in a tight time, when the stocks are plummeting, so falls the hemlines. Now we aren't economists, but we do make it our business to track the trends of what our favorite style stars are wearing and we've noticed that some of the most in-the-know women are choosing long dresses. Given the hemline theory, it's no surprise that this look is back en vogue, but it is interesting that ladies like Kate Moss and Erin Wasson are wearing their maxi dresses cinched at the waist with heavy-duty leather and metal belts. Although we aren't sure what this means for the economic climateÂ--besides more figurative (and apparently literal!) belt-tighteningÂ--we do know that it's a look we love.
Though all of our spotlighted ladies have effortless personal style, for the rest of us, it's best to follow a few rules to ensure that your maxi looks modern. (Such as: check out the Fendi F/W 09 runway for a little outfit-influenced inspiration!) When deciding on a dress, remember you'll get a lot of mileage out of a pretty piece that features an unfussy print. Trust us, there were loads of print gowns on the spring runways, indicating that eye-catching fabric is not only perfect for a festive holiday party, but also will carry you, ever so chicly, into the warmer months to come! Rachel Roy's abstract patterned piece (from her spring 09 collection) was perfectly suited for the 500 Days of Summer New York premiere and is a great example of how a graphic print can also ground an ensemble. A monochromatic dress in an elegant fabric is also a wise choice. Kate Moss, for instance, smartly set her sights on a Swiss dot and tiered silk chiffon ruffle dress from the Christian Dior archives for the British Fashion Awards last week. Another option is to follow the clothing cues from Ally Hilfiger, whose satin blush vintage Gucci garment was pitch-perfect for the David Yurman-hosted Fall Fete this past October. Remember, one of the most imperative elements of the trend is to keep the line long and lean with a little bit of flare at the feet; it's not as dramatic or voluminous as a mermaid skirt, but it definitely doesn't hug the body and taper at the bottom, either.
Of course, the right dress is only half of the equation. When deciding on a belt to create and accentuate the feminine shape, go for a substantial selection at the natural waist to add an edgy accent. Erin Wasson's vintage chained cincher, which she wore to attend a gallery opening in November, beautifully illustrates this point, as does Rachel Roy's vintage menswear cognac leather pick (Hilfiger's vintage Hermes isn't too shabby, either). And finally, though this look can be dressed up or paired down, make sure that all other pieces play second (actually, third) fiddle to the dress and the belt. Whether you opt for a pop of color via a bed jacket or a little borrowed-from-the-boys androgyny, your layers should not compete for the sartorial spotlight!
Of course, now that you know the rules of engagement, we want to point out a few seriously stylish selections that will help you look like a million bucks! When it comes to dresses, you would be wise to invest in ASOS' Coast Tiger Cross-Over Maxi Dress ($255), as this black beauty is the ideal backdrop to a standout cincture. If you want a muted monochromatic maxi, we think that ASOS' Seam Detail Jersey Dress ($54) will fit the bill. And if it's a printed pick you crave, we recommend you sate your appetite with T-Bags' String Back Long Dress ($251). Of course, belts are integral to making this trend a huge success. We think that See by Chloe's Alligator Chain Belt ($290), Diane von Furstenberg's Deliah Studded Belt ($255), and Gap's Vintage Leather Belt ($30) are top-notch. Just pair them with your favorite flowing frock and get ready to be spoiled silly with a wealth of clothing-centric compliments!

The highly alcoholic drink absinthe was banned in much of Europe during World War I, and only in recent years became once again legal, finding its way back into bars and shops. Meanwhile the European Parliament is divided on its vote on the European Commission's attempt to standardize the definition of the drink by deciding if and how much of the two substances anethole and the chemical thujone, a toxin extracted from wormwood, which has given the drink its reputation for producing mind-altering effects, must be contained within it to officially classify versions of the 'green fairy,' as it is also known, with the absinthe name.

Fresh Currant Oat Scones
I used to bake hundereds of scones every day. Hundreds. Every morning, before the city woke up I poured myself the biggest cup of coffee I could find, and fired up two commercial ovens. Then I measured, mixed, cut, measured, mixed, cut, on repeat, for hours. I emptied 25 pound sacks of flour and 50 pound sacks of sugar into bins. I used butter by the case, buttermilk and cream by the gallon. I got strong and fast and efficient and I learned what happened when you over-mixed and under-baked pastries (bad stuff).
I liked the quiet mornings and the methodical work because once I got good at it, my mind had plenty of time to wander. I dreamt up all kinds of flavors (some more well received than others) and I loved the freedom to create, but after a few years of those mornings the thought of actually eating a scone was so incredibly unappealing that it took me nearly 7 months to even think about baking scones at home. Then it took another month for me to actually get around to it, but an extra lovely batch of red currants gave me the courage I needed to get back to sconing.
Be warned, the fresh currants make these scones quite tart, but they are excellent with a bit of butter and jam if you find them sour. I imagine they would also be delicious with a bit of lemon or orange glaze too. You can make citrus glaze by whisking about a cup of confectioner's sugar with a few tablespoons of lemon or orange juice until smooth. A bit of finely grated zest would also be a nice addition to the glaze.
Currant Oat Scones
yield, 8 scones
This recipe calls for buttermilk and heavy cream, but if you'd like to only use one type of liquid you can also 100% heavy cream. The scones may be a bit more dense and rich, but that is definitely not a bad thing.
10 ounces all purpose flour
1.5 ounces rolled oats (plus a little extra to sprinkle on top)
1.5 ounces sugar (plus a little extra to sprinkle on top)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon orange zest
3 ounces cold butter, cut into cubes
4 ounces buttermilk
4 ounces, plus 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 ounces red currants or other berries
Preheat oven to 425º and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, oats, sugar, salt, baking powder and orange zest. Use a pastry cutter or 2 knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Alternately, you can mix the dough for this step in a food processor.
2. Add the currants to the mixture and toss gently to combine. Make a well in the center of mixture and pour in the buttermilk, vanilla and the 4 ounces of heavy cream. Stir gently until just combined. The mixture should be soft and a little sticky, if it seems dry, add a few more tablespoons of buttermilk or heavy cream.
3. Working quickly, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a circle about 1.5 inches high. Cut the circle into 8 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cream, then sprinkle the scones with the extra oats and sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are deep golden. Serve warm. The baked and cooled scones can also be stored in the freezer (wrapped tightly) for a few weeks. Warm in the oven before serving.

These scones are right up my alley, as I prefer my fruit on the tart side. Happy you've started sconing again - they're so pretty.ReplyDelete
I like your term, sconing. Your scones are incredible, my mouth is watering right now.ReplyDelete
Currants sound like they'd be perfect in scones! This really makes me wish they were more easily findable in California. :)ReplyDelete

These look gorgeous. Might have to take up sconing after seeing your pictures :)ReplyDelete
I loved hearing you scone story. Your redcurrant oat version sounds deliscious . I do love scones with fruitReplyDelete
How many scones per batch did you make back then? When I double a scone recipe, it seems like a lot more work than a single batch.ReplyDeleteReplies
I made about 50 scones per batch and about 5 varieties a day (a batch or two of each), more on the weekends. It was a lot of scones.Delete
I'm glad you're making scones again! I used to make lots of scones every morning, too, but they were always my favorite thing to make. :) These look lovely!ReplyDelete
baby, let's scone sometime.ReplyDelete
no, but really - if and/or when we ever meet, let's definitely scone!
what was your most well received scone flavor?ReplyDelete
ps* i really enjoyed reading your scone story!
That looks delicious!ReplyDelete

Colorful Blush
Colorful Blush has a silky pressed-powder texture that blends on beautifully and evenly.
Colorful Mono Eyeshadow
This eyeshadow collection offers a huge assortment of shades that come in three finishes: matte, metallic, and glittering.
Add to Faves?
Sephora At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive; some good cleansers and makeup removers; the Blotting Papers; good powder foundation; impressive blush and shiny eyeshadow options; great metallic finish eyeliner; awesome brow kit; bountiful selection of lipsticks and lip glosses; a couple of very good mascaras; several outstanding makeup brushes; testers are available in-store for each product, and sales pressure is practically nonexistent.
Weaknesses: Mostly average to below-average toners, moisturizers, and sunscreens; no options for those dealing with acne or skin discolorations; some SPF-rated products (including foundations) lack sufficient UVA-protecting actives; the lip plumper is too irritating; too many disappointing eye-makeup products, including several disappointing eyeliners and brow pencils; unappealing shimmer powders.
Sephora's first foray into skin care was back in 1994, when they offered a colorful, artfully packaged selection of bath gels. Their facial skin-care came on the scene a few years later, but for the most part wasn't worth waiting for. Sephora must not have been too pleased with these earlier versions, because lots of retooling has been done, although, sad to say, that hasn't improved on the ordinary, mundane status their products have consistently shared. Makeup is what Sephora's house brand does best. The only reason to shop this inexpensive skin-care selection is for everyday basics or the occasional impulse buy you may or may not enjoy adding to your routine. Otherwise, most of the skin-care products can't compete with the other brands sold in Sephora boutiques worldwide.
Note: Sephora is categorized as one that tests on animals because their products are sold in China. Although Sephora may not conduct animal testing for their products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brand's state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law". Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Sephora Makeup
Once an incomplete line lacking such basics as foundation and concealer, Sephora's color collection has blossomed into a comprehensive group of products, most of which are priced considerably lower than products from the many other lines sold in their boutiques. Although the low price and the selection may draw you in, not everything is worth exploring; for example, some of the products (for example the inexpensive pencils, which are not worth considering) demonstrate the old adage that sometimes you really do get what you pay for. That's not to say you have to spend a lot of money for quality makeup, but it does seem that many of Sephora's potential bargains are below average in terms of performance.
What you really should pay attention to are the pressed-powder foundation, one of the concealers, the powder blush, the liquid shimmer, and a few of the mascaras. Of course, the hallmark of this line has always been an extensive selection of makeup brushes. That still holds true, and you'll find that in this case the prices are more than fair.
More than most other makeup lines, Sephora excels with their accessory offerings. From makeup bags to train cases and on to all manner of beauty tools (from tweezers to nail clippers and manicure aids), the selection means you will assuredly find something that meets your needs. It's easy to get caught up in the variety and scope of Sephora's makeup, and testers are readily available so you can play all you want. That's great, but it doesn't compensate for a line with more than its share of average to poor products (and they change frequently, often not for the better). However, if you pay attention to the favorably rated products, you're more than likely to be very pleased.

My experience has been that the A.A. Daily Inventories -- Step Ten, has been the one tool that I use most often that produces the greatest benefits for my life. It helps me dissolve my emotional disturbances. It helps me to grow in personal understanding and effectiveness. It helps me to make spiritual progress. It also helps me to gain a better understanding of others – and it helps me to better understand why they do what they do – that so often hurts my feelings – which will cause me to feel disturbed.
Bill W., wrote in the 12 & 12, page 90, on Step 10 wrote: It is a spiritual axiom that every time we are disturbed, no matter what the cause, there is something wrong with us. If somebody hurts us and we are sore, we are in the wrong also. But are there no exceptions to this rule? What about "justifiable" anger? If somebody cheats us, aren't we entitled to be mad? Can't we be properly angry with self-righteous folk? For us of A.A. these are dangerous exceptions. We have found that justified anger ought to be left to those better qualified to handle it.
Few people have been more victimized by resentments than have we alcoholics. It mattered little whether our resentments were justified or not. A burst of temper could spoil a day, and a well-nursed grudge could make us miserably ineffective. Nor were we ever skillful in separating justified from unjustified anger. As we saw it, our wrath was always justified. Anger, that occasional luxury of more balanced people, could keep us on an emotional jag indefinitely. These emotional "dry benders" often led straight to the bottle. Other kinds of disturbances--jealousy, envy, self-pity, or hurt pride--did the same thing.
When I was less experienced with A.A.'s Way of Life – I used to get resentful at the A.A. Way of Life! It seemed as though it was always picking on me! Making me out to be the bad guy in all situations – and I would wonder, "how can this negativity directed towards self – bring any kind of positive results?â€

News: Minaya and Mets have money to Spend
Yesterday, Omar Minaya told the New York Post that 'he has permission from ownership to increase payroll,' which the Post also confirmed with Jeff Wilpon.
"We've been told that whatever we need to do to get to help us win, we're going to try to do it," Minaya is quoted as saying.
Minaya also noted that while the number is limited, he has the ability to increase payroll with a mid-season acquisition if it is in an area on the roster that needs improvement.
Yesterday, Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors listed starting pitchers Jake Peavy, Roy Halladay and Erik Bedard, outfielders Matt Holliday and Vernon Wells and second baseman Dan Uggla among 14 players who could be available at the July 31 trade deadline.

FairWarning, Inc. is the world's leading supplier of privacy monitoring solutions for electronic health records, relied on by 1,200 Hospitals and 5,000 Clinics in 47 states across the US and 7 countries worldwide to keep their patients' data safe. FairWarning solutions are compatible with over 250 applications and have audited 120 billion events, each of which was processed and stored in a MySQL database. In January 2014, FairWarning was awarded the highest commendation in healthcare IT as the first ever Category Leader for Patient Privacy Monitoring in the "2013 Best in KLAS: Software & Services" report1.
In response to the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, hospitals and clinics have been moving their patient data from paper to electronic health records (EHRs). This monumental task is made greater by the need to comply with an increasing number of healthcare privacy regulations such as HIPAA, ARRA HITICH privacy Meaningful Use criteria, CMS Meaningful Use audits, and many more. Further complicating matters, most hospitals now have multiple systems containing protected health information (PHI) (one FairWarning customer has over 100), causing workloads to outpace resources and another challenge - high employee turnover.
FairWarning Patient Privacy Monitoring is an on-premise or SaaS solution that relies on MySQL as it proactively monitors and audits access to patient data, and automates policy enforcement, generating alerts and notifications on any suspicious activities, as well as tracking investigations and providing advanced reporting capabilities whenever needed for full investigations. FairWarning is compatible with every major EHR application and over 250 other applications used in healthcare.
Figure 1: FairWarning Portal (click image to enlarge)
Since its start in 2005, FairWarning has relied on MySQL to power its Patient Privacy Monitoring solutions. MySQL was the right database for FairWarning as a small start-up, and Oracle MySQL continues to meet FairWarning's needs as the market leader.
After Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Inc., FairWarning wanted to better understand Oracle's plans for MySQL's future. In a meeting with Oracle MySQL, the questions FairWarning had had about MySQL were answered: "MySQL's product roadmap fully addresses our needs. We like the fact that MySQL Enterprise Edition has everything included; there's no need to purchase separate modules. We've had a lot of good customer support." said Chris Arnold, FairWarning's Vice President of Product Management & Engineering. Based on Oracle's investment in MySQL, and their positive experiences using MySQL, FairWarning made the decision to continue to rely on MySQL as their solution database.
Certain MySQL capabilities, as well as the focus of Oracle MySQL's development efforts, were also key to FairWarning's decision. They include:
FairWarning's customers have a lot of data. In fact -
And, MySQL has scaled efficiently to handle it all.
In need of transactional capabilities, and seeing Oracle's strategic focus on InnoDB for MySQL, Chris and his team decided to migrate their solution from MyISAM to InnoDB and update from MySQL 5.5. to MySQL 5.6.
FairWarning provides all administration and support -- including five layers of support within the FairWarning Private Service Cloud, for both SaaS and on-premise solutions. FairWarning uses MySQL Enterprise Monitor and its Query Analyzer to ensure MySQL is performing optimally and to alert them to any slow queries. Their customers also benefit from using MySQL Enterprise Monitor to keep an eye on trends and to changes to database indices.
In addition, Chris and his team use MySQL Workbench for data modeling and administration, saving them significant amounts of time and effort.
"MySQL has not required a lot of administration. After it's been tuned, configured, and optimized for size on initial setup, we have very low administrative costs. I can scale and add more customers without adding DBAs. This has had a big, positive impact on our business," said Chris.
In summary, Chris reports that, "We have been very happy with the recent investments in MySQL's performance, scalability and recoverability. MySQL has acted on a lot of feedback that we've given them, which has been really helpful." MySQL has been the right database for FairWarning for over 9 years, from startup, through tremendous growth, to market leadership and expansion worldwide. FairWarning continues to rely on MySQL as they go from success to success.

|Marker flags whip in the wind on a three-lane section of U.S. Highway 6 near Colton. UDOT has released a supplemental draft environmental impact statement indicating the three-lane system will have to be built on about 12 miles of the U.S. 6 corridor between Spanish Fork and Green River due to wetland concerns.
The Utah Department of Transportation has released a supplement to the state agency's draft environmental impact statement on the U.S. Highway 6 corridor.
Carbon County residents will have an opportunity to comment about the new aspects of the plan when the state agency conducts an open house public hearing on March 8 at College of Eastern Utah .
The supplemental draft environmental impact statement will analyze additional information that has surfaced involving in the four-lane alternative, according to the state transportation department.
Issues to be addressed in connection with the supplemental draft environmental impact statement include air quality standards, water quality concerns and wetlands areas with wetlands associate, explained the transportation agency.
The original draft environmental impact statement regarding the proposed highway improvement projects was presented to the public several months ago.
The initial draft DEIS document focused on safety and projected how the U.S. 6 corridor may best handle traffic through the year 2030.
But since the original release of the DEIS, new information has come to light that UDOT needed to consider before setting permanent plans for the highway improvement projects in the U.S. 6 corridor, noted transportation officials.
UDOT reminded residents that the state agency is still analyzing input from prior meetings and the comments do not need to be resubmitted at the March 8 open house.
After the latest comments are considered, UDOT plans to release a final environmental impact statement during the summer.
The new specific areas UDOT will examine include:
Minimizing impacts to wetlands on about 12 miles of the 127-mile four-lane route.
UDOT has determined that cutting the road to three lanes, with a passing lane in one direction., would reduce impacts to wetlands.
The wetlands information is included in the supplemental draft environmental impact statement released by transportation department.
Because of concerns about air quality and emissions of particulate matter, a study was done on a similar highway with heavier traffic volume to examine potential impacts.
The results of the study indicated that the lower volume of traffic on a revamped U.S. Highway 6 would not exceed the permitted particulate emission levels.
Reviewing concerns that adding pavement along the route would increase pollutants in the Price River.
The department of transportation revamped the water quality analysis to determine whether the extra runoff into Price River would exceed the daily accepted load of pollutants.
The study showed that the additional road surface would not impact the drainage.
The former meetings have also created some direction for UDOT already. First of all it seemed the support in comments for widening the highway to four lanes was overwhelming.
Secondly, the highest priority area on the highway as determined by public comment was improving the Tucker Rest Area Corner. Close behind in second place was the Red Narrows area, where the alternatives to fixing the curve problems there either means straightening out the curves by taking out whole hillsides or building tunnels through the mountains. Both those alternatives would make this short section of highway by far the most expensive section of the road to revamp.
Finally the plan does not appear to consider any additional widening of the road through Wellington until after the second decade of the present century.
