Product Details
Audi TT 2008-2009, Pro GUARD 7 Air Filter by aFe®. When protecting your valuable engine is your primary concern, you need the Pro GUARD 7 air filter. It has the highest level of filtration efficiency of any air filter on the market – 99.7%. It was developed to provide the increased airflow and maximum protection today's expensive diesel engines need. The Pro GUARD 7 filter is perfect for all driving conditions, but it particularly excels during the harshest, most extreme, driving conditions.
- Highest level of filtration efficiency of any air filter
- Increases airflow over stock paper air filter
- Patented 7-layer progressive cotton/synthetic filter media
- 30% deeper pleats than comparable aftermarket filters
- Polyurethane construction withstands extreme engine temperatures
- Washable and reusable
- Economical
- Extended service intervals
- Backed by a limited warranty
- Proudly made in the USA
Modern diesel engines are marvels of technology, able to make gobs of power while delivering exceptional fuel mileage and meeting all emissions standards. But all that mechanical and electronic sophistication costs a lot of money. So don't trust your expensive engine to just any air filter, get your diesel a Pro GUARD 7. The Pro GUARD 7 air filter was developed specifically for today's demanding diesel engines; it delivers the increased airflow they need while providing maximum protection.
The patented 7-layer progressive cotton/synthetic media in the Pro GUARD 7 consists of 5 layers of progressively finer medical grade cotton gauze, combined with 2 layers of non-woven synthetic polyester fabric with random porosity. Competitors use constant size mesh gauze in their filters, which creates voids/openings that can allow dirt to pass through. As the progressively finer layers of gauze are stacked in the Pro GUARD 7, the randomness of the openings increase, minimizing spaces with no filter media. Dust accumulates on multiple layers, increasing overall dust holding capacity and filtration efficiency.
The pleats in the Pro GUARD 7 are evenly spaced for greater dust holding capacity and the tips are rounded for better airflow. They're also 30% deeper than the pleats in comparable aftermarket air filters for longer service intervals and greater dust holding capacity. The end result is airflow that is increased over the factory paper element and the highest level of filtration efficiency available – 99.7%.
The sealing surface and supporting structure of the Pro GUARD 7 are made from 100% polyurethane, to withstand extreme engine temperatures. Select filters feature built-in expanded metal to prevent collapse under high boost pressures. Flat panel filters are constructed with 4 sides, not just 2, for added rigidity and seal support, and feature a progressive bump seal to ensure an airtight seal.
The Pro GUARD 7 isn't only more efficient, it's also more economical. Under normal driving conditions it won't need servicing for 45,000 miles. Since a typical OEM paper element should be replaced every 15,000 miles, the Pro GUARD 7 will pay for itself before the first service is required. And the Pro GUARD 7 can be washed and reused repeatedly, so you'll never have to buy another air filter, ever.
Direct factory replacement Pro GUARD 7 air filters are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Universal clamp on filters have a 2-year warranty while racing filters have a 1-year warranty.83.95Brand: aFe Part Number: 73-10016 UPC: 802959730096 This part is compatible with 29 vehicle(s)

There is a dispute over the timing of starting hormones after biochemical failure. This study was initiated to determine when the benefits of hormonal ablation outweighs its potential morbidity.
Materials and Methods
Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The timing in the initiation of hormones after biochemical failure is a topic of debate in the radiation oncology literature. Many have advocated early initiation with claims that it extends the DFS and symptomatic free survival. These data presented seem to support this conclusion. This has led to guidelines of initiating hormonal ablation prior to the development of metastatic disease or heavy tumore burden as evidenced by large PSA. From this study, it seems as though the longer time until hormones are initiated, the worse patients do, both in terms of overall survival and disease free survival. However, how it affects the actual history of disease is not known. This needs to be investigated in a prospective study.

We'll say it: rules are overrated. Especially when it comes to designing an iPhone case with a whole heaping dose of pizzazz. Iveta totally gets this, which is why she's tossed the rulebook when experimenting with colors, patterns and textures for her line of phone protectors and beautifers. The artist, who has been a graphic designer for over 10 years, might sketch, draw or paint before scanning an image into Photoshop for tweaking. She then produces eye-catching cases that won't fade or scratch—and stand the test of time. She sees them as little functional works of art—that ain't playing by nobody's rules

By Betty HathawayPrice
As membership chairman for the American Legion Auxiliary, unit 73, Huntington, I am making a plea to all persons, who are eligible for membership to come forward and join our organization. We are desperately in need of active members. We are grateful to all our faithful members who pay their dues, but we are getting older. We need some younger members. I urge all you grandmothers and mothers to talk to your daughters and granddaughters about the privilege and honor of belonging to the American Legion Auxiliary. It is not an organization that everyone can belong to.
To be eligible you must be the mother, wife, sister, daughter, granddaughter or great granddaughter of a current member of the American Legion or a deceased veteran who served during any of the great conflicts.
The Auxiliary is women, of all ages and from all walks of life, who join together in the fellowship of giving. No matter how an Auxiliary member chooses to contribute, she can help fill a need and address one of the countless concerns through our many programs: Americanism, children and youth, community service, education, Girls state/Girls Nation, Legislative Support for Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation. Our purpose is to defend and teach the principals of democracy. To uphold the law of the land to foster patriotism, to venerate and serve our veterans, to instill a sense of obligation to the community, state and nation, to guard the basic freedoms of religion, expression and choice, to support the work of the American Legion, to continue our association with devotion to God and our county.
I ask you to give serious thought to your blessings and priorities in your life. Thousands of men and women are sacrificing 24 hours a day fighting, losing their lives or coming home mortally wounded for the freedoms that we take for granted, we do not take time to think about and show very little appreciation for. Surely we can share a few hours a month in support of the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary. These organizations can not continue to operate properly with only the support of a few dedicated members.
Please join us. Stand up and say "I am proud to be an American". Let your actions speak for you. Lets get rid of our apathetic attitudes and get patriotism back in our communities. As John F. Kennedy stated, "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
I challenge you to find out who the commander of the legion and the president of the Auxiliary are of your local organization. Ask them when they hold their meetings. Put a big "red star" on your calender. Set that time and day apart. Let nothing interfere and give us your support. Call your friends and neighbors if the they are members, make arrangements to come to the meetings together. We used to have a very active unit and I would love to see that participation again.
God Bless Americans in these troubled time. Stand tall and be counted.

Darrell Issa just had a bad day: IRS 'targeted' groups with 'Occupy' and 'Progressive' in names
"I'm going to need a couple of minutes to rethink my conspiracy theory here, my friends. The committee is recessed."
Poor Darrell Issa:
The Internal Revenue Services screening of groups seeking tax-exempt status was broader and lasted longer than has been previously disclosed, the new head of the agency said Monday. An internal IRS document obtained by The Associated Press said that besides tea party, lists used by screeners to pick groups for close examination also included the terms Israel, 'Progressive and Occupy. The document said an investigation into why specific terms were included was still underway.The IRS has stopped using any so-called BOLO ("Be on the lookout") lists, but you know what this looks like? It looks like they were trying to screen for groups engaged in political activity ... because groups engaged mainly in influencing campaigns are not entitled to non-profit tax exempt status. In other words, they were trying to enforce the law. And it's not exactly an easy law to enforce.
In a conference call with reporters, Danny Werfel said that after becoming acting IRS chief last month, he discovered wide-ranging and improper terms on the lists and said screeners were still using them. He did not specify what terms were on the lists, but said he suspended the use of all such lists immediately.

10 Great Gardens to Visit in the U.S.
Location: San Francisco, Calif.
Background: Roof gardens can pose significant construction and maintenance challenges, and adding hills to the mix doesn't make things easier. The crew behind the California Academy of Sciences' living roof installed a multilayered soil-drainage system and chose to rely mainly on natural irrigation to nourish native plant species and minimize upkeep. In 2008, the building received LEED Platinum certification—the highest rating possible—partly because of the roof's awesome insulation capabilities, which keep the building an average 10 degrees cooler than a typical roof would.
Why It's Unique:
The garden's two larger contours sync up to the planetarium and rainforest exhibitions down below, but the roof is as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing. "The mounds really came from the fact that when you look from afar, the backdrop is San Francisco's hills," says Bill Callaway of SWA Group. This leading landscape architecture and urban design firm helped design the Academy of Sciences' living roof, and has worked on projects ranging from Google's HQ to Burj Khalifa's Tower Park. "So really what the architect was trying to do was echo those hills in the project by putting them on the roof." By adding an open-air observation deck, the designers created an ideal location to watch the birds and the bees buzz around the lush plant life.
Location: Xilitla, Mexico
Background: English surrealist and poet Edward James went to the Mexican rainforest to create a spectacle of a garden that blends strange architecture into an already vivacious environment. Walkways stamped with footprints, Orchid-inspired sculptures and fantastical structures looming over the landscape are just some of the features laced throughout the 40 or so acres.
Why It's Unique:
At points, it seems as though the abundance of artwork would detract from the beauty of the natural landscape and diverse fauna. Then again, it's a small plot of land when considering the size of the whole rainforest, and as the years pass, the artwork and gardens meld into the environment more and more. "I suppose it's true of architecture, but certainly landscape design; it doesn't take too many years when left to its own devices to be eaten up by the jungle," Callaway says. "The natural landscape is going to win out." James died in 1984, and nature has been busy consuming the features so rapidly that Las Pozas was recently named an endangered cultural site by the World Monument Foundation.

GOUVERNEUR Brian M. Mandigo was just five years old when his father shepherded the family to safety during a devastating apartment fire in December 1996. They were putting up Christmas lights when the blaze broke out at their Trinity Avenue building 16 years ago.
I got them all out of there before the roof caved in, Louis M. Mandigo of Raymondville recalled Wednesday afternoon as he sat in his truck outside the blackened Austin Street home in Gouverneur, where another apartment fire claimed his sons life Tuesday night.
Investigators believe Mr. Mandigo, 22, may have fallen asleep while food was cooking on the stove, causing an intense blaze that ravaged the rented home at 66 Austin St. and melted siding on two adjacent houses. Tax records show the home is owned by Carmine G. Barba.
He had two kids. He was trying to get his life together, the elder Mr. Mandigo said. He had just signed up to go to (general educational development classes) today or tomorrow.
Gouverneur Fire Chief Steven M. Young said investigators quickly ruled out arson, deeming the fire an accident caused by deep-fried food that Mr. Mandigo apparently left unattended.
The result was a powerful, deadly conflagration that confronted firefighters arriving at the scene shortly after 11 p.m.
When we got there, there was really heavy fire inside, Chief Young said.
Gouverneur firefighters were aided by six other departments, with a seventh standing by as crews spent nearly three hours dousing the flames and preventing them from spreading to neighboring homes.
Firefighters found Mr. Mandigos body inside, about 10 to 15 feet from the door, Chief Young said. It appeared he may have dozed off in a chair, then awakened during the fire only to be quickly overcome by toxic smoke and intense heat.
Autopsy information was unavailable Wednesday night.
Chief Young said Mr. Mandigo had been dropped off at the apartment at about 10:30, and Louis M. Mandigo said he understood his son had been out drinking before he arrived home.
He said he is awaiting the outcome of the autopsy, wondering if there were any other factors that might have prevented his son from rousing sooner and escaping.
Mr. Mandigos father and neighbors said he had been living in the apartment with his mother and sister, but that they were in the process of moving, and no one else was home at the time.
One of two dogs was found outside, the other was not found.
Chief Young said smoke detectors were found in the apartment, but investigators dont know yet whether they were operational.
Charlotte P. House, a tenant in the home next door, said that a police officer banged on her door to alert her to the flames late Tuesday. When she stepped outside, Ms. House said she heard a dog barking apparently one that Mr. Mandigo had let out when he got home and a repetitive noise like a fire alarm. She then went to stay with a friend until the danger had passed.
Brian shoveled, he helped me do some things, she said. He was a nice young man. I just cant believe it.
On the other side of the burned house, at 62 Austin St., Scott A. Matthews described Mr. Mandigo and his relatives as a very nice family.
Mr. Matthews and his family also expressed gratitude to firefighters who saved their own home from destruction.
It looked like a bright orange fireball, he said of the ruined home just feet away.
Sitting in the driveway, the elder Mr. Mandigo looked at the aftermath with his youngest daughter, whom, he said, wanted to come see the home.
He acknowledged that his son had gone through some troubled years, including encounters with the law.
But his father also believed that the young man was trying to put the past behind him and live for his own children.
Hed give you the shirt off his back if you asked him.

2-On-Your-Side's Adam Benigni spoke with former Niagara coach now Raptors television analyst Jack Armstrong about the impact of Jeremy Lin on the Knicks and the NBA.
Lin has captured the interest and imagination of basketball fans and beyond with his underdog story. Lin went undrafted out of Harvard last year, and was cut by the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets. The Knicks picked him up and he's now led them to seven straight wins as their starting point guard.
Tuesday night in Toronto, Lin hit the game winning shot to beat the Raptors with half a second left on the clock. Armstrong was courtside to do the game.

MASSENA - If you have some good quality furniture but nowhere to put it, donating it The Salvation Army can mean some money in your pocket.
Massena Salvation Army Commander Lt. Russell Crowsen said theyll even pick up locally or as far away as Potsdam.
Lt. Crowsen said that starting Monday when their boutique on Highland Road opens at 9 a.m., anyone who donates good quality furniture to the boutique will receive a coupon for $5 off their next purchase there.
Were starting a new program for customers to encourage people to donate good quality furniture. If someone donates furniture thats good quality that we would sell, we will give them a coupon for $5 off their next purchase at the boutique, he said.
Furniture is a hot seller at their boutique, Lt. Crowsen said, and theyre trying to keep it stocked. But thats become harder.
As soon as we get furniture it goes right out the door. We just cant keep furniture in stock. They go out the door pretty quickly, he said.
Lt. Crowsen said theyre looking for good quality furniture in general, including desks, chairs, couches and tables.
We had one business that was relocating to the reservation, and they donated their display case. We were able to sell that. As long as its of good quality, well take it, he said.
There are other incentives to donate, too, according to Lt. Crowsen.
If someone donates furniture, but also someone is a first-time customer, we also have some incentives to show our appreciation for first-time shoppers. They can ask about it at the cash register, he said.
And if someone spends $50 or more on a purchase, theyll receive a $5 gift card off their next purchase, he said.
There is one caveat. If someone donates more than once a day, they will receive one $5 card.
To make it easier, Lt. Crowsen said theyre willing to pick up furniture locally or as far away as Potsdam if the person cant deliver it to the boutique.
Theyll still get a $5 gift certificate off their next purchase, he said. Call the boutique (769-2547) and the boutique will arrange the pickup day and time.
The fact that furniture is flying out the door creates a good problem, Lt. Crowsen said, because the proceeds from the sale go right back into The Salvation Armys community programs.
When people buy or donate, theyre helping support not only the Massena area, but the greater Massena area because we help out surrounding communities, he said.

Well then I must be THE perfect passenger! I fly a lot maybe too much that when I get on the plane, get to my window seat I am out like a light. Usually end up awake just before touchdown.I really have to stop doing that I end up missing some cool stuff. Also I always bring a sweatshirt, drink and a snack that way I don't need to bother the attendants. Smooth sailing..uh Flying.
That comment about complaining about cabin temperature got my attention. My wife is a RN who has had to take of prostrate and unresponsive passengers on cross country flights, including a flight diverted for an unscheduled landing to take the passenger off. We both think that one exacerbating factor is the tendency to keep the cabin too warm. We travel a lot and have had to care for a passed-out passenger three times, sometimes in the aisle and sometimes in the galley. How can the "meat" in economy ask for a little cool air without bothering the flight attendant?
most passengers complain about the cabin being too "cold"....not too warm...hence the constant requests for more blankets.
After reading all the comments, i thought wow THRUSTT needs to be thrust on to a bus or his own car, then he can bring his own $%$$#%^ PEPSI, geez you think there going to bring several brands of cola? LMAO ... These are the people who think they can get a blended ice Mocha, It's a plane serving drinks with people, not a full BAR WITH WINGS and bartenders !! and someone to wipe your butt.
That's why I bring my own stuff along. Takes all the thought or anxiety out of it. It's not like there's several stores in any given terminal to get whatever drink, snack or whatever else one might need. Easy peesie!!(I think I spelled that right?) Get in sit down, buckle up, shut up and enjoy the ride. Roger,Over and out!
I just flew on US Air from DCA to SAN yesterday. I think only half of the passengers bothered to bathe prior to the flight. To many people were called 'princess' growing up, and unfortunately, many never stopped believing it. I'm going to update my medical and start flying myself again. Then if I choose not to bathe, I have myself to blame.
I find that its really the opposite, from living in America the past 3 years I've found that most of the US cabin crew tend to be very rude and "not bothered". If I was to make an exception for one airline it would be Southwest.
On the other hand, airlines like Virgin Atlantic and British Airways have in my case always been great and very welcoming/friendly. Top notch service.
Southwest F/A's get paid the most of any other US Airline...they don't anything to be "rude and not bothered" about.
I have to agree with you. I live outside the country and when I fly back on my own ticket, I tend to fly Lufthansa or KLM. They are a lot more friendlier and customer oriented.
Southwest, British Airways, KLM, America West prior to merging and keeping the US Airways name, Korean Air--all pretty good service. I think Korean Air is probably the best, right up there with BA.
I fly mostly through hubs (not my choice), so "asking for more blankets/pillows" and "asking for a different meal" are not even options to be annoying about. Could I have another 2oz bag of pretzels?
I drive.
This is a story? Really... what a waste of time,
To me this reads like a laundry list of complaints by people who's job it is to service paying customers. If you don't like it, find a different job. There was a time when hot chicks in the US would kill to be a 'stewardess'. Those that they hired stayed on for 40 years and never left. Nothing like being serviced by a crotchety old grandma. =(
Well, that's not exactly what their job is. And when you look at it you should notice that this is a list of pretty douchey things to do.
Asking for a different brand of drink??? What's the big deal??? I prefer Pepsi.If you have it, serve it!!!
Definition of an Air Hostess from a dictionary in the 70's - FEMALE between 19 and 35, extremely attractive, ATTENTIVE and OBEDIENT. Willing to have flings with the Co-pilot and select passengers on layovers, hence why it's called a layover.
You're exactly the kind of person that gives F/A's something to chat and laugh about on long flights...
They could chat and laugh all they want. After 911, a lot of them have got this air of power around them. Go to use the head in the back by the galley, you could hear them bitching, moaning, and not gving a shit about the passengers within earshot. Granted there are good ones who do their job in a courteous and professional manner, but they are far and few in between. In addition to cabin safety, they are there to get a different drink, a blanket, etc. if requested. They knew coming in what the pay was and what the job entailed. I really don't give a shit if you chat and laugh, as far as I'm concerned, they could replace Flight Attendants with vending machines, a better selection.
they're - sorry.

15 U.S. Code § 3203 - Adoption of certain standards
(a) Adoption of standards
Not later than 2 years after November 9, 1978 (or after October 24, 1992, in the case of standards under paragraphs (3), [1] and (4) of subsection (b) of this section), each State regulatory authority (with respect to each gas utility for which it has ratemaking authority) and each nonregulated gas utility shall provide public notice and conduct a hearing respecting the standards established by subsection (b) of this section, and, on the basis of such hearing, shall—
(1) adopt the standard established by subsection (b)(1) of this section, if, and to the extent, such authority or nonregulated utility determines that such adoption is appropriate and is consistent with otherwise applicable State law, and
(2) adopt the standards established by paragraphs (2), (3) [2] (4), (5), and (6) of subsection (b) of this section, if, and to the extent, such authority or nonregulated utility determines that such adoption is appropriate to carry out the purposes of this chapter, is otherwise appropriate, and is consistent with otherwise applicable State law.
For purposes of any determination under paragraphs (1) and (2) and any review of such determination in any court under section 3207 of this title, the purposes of this chapter supplement State law. Nothing in this subsection prohibits any State regulatory authority or nonregulated utility from making any determination that it is not appropriate to implement any such standard, pursuant to its authority under otherwise applicable State law.
(b) Establishment
The following Federal standards are hereby established:
(1) Procedures for termination of natural gas service
(2) Advertising
(3) Integrated resource planning
Each gas utility shall employ, in order to provide adequate and reliable service to its gas customers at the lowest system cost. All plans or filings of a State regulated gas utility before a State regulatory authority to meet the requirements of this paragraph shall
(D) contain a requirement that the plan be implemented after approval of the State regulatory authority. Subsection (c) of this section shall not apply to this paragraph to the extent that it could be construed to require the State regulatory authority to extend the record of a State proceeding in submitting reports to the Federal Government.
(4) Investments in conservation and demand management
The rates charged by any State regulated gas utility shall be such that the utility's prudent investments in, and expenditures for, energy conservation and load shifting programs and for other demand-side management measures which are consistent with the findings and purposes of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 are at least as profitable (taking into account the income lost due to reduced sales resulting from such programs) as prudent investments in, and expenditures for, the acquisition or construction of supplies and facilities. This objective requires that
(A) regulators link the utility's net revenues, at least in part, to the utility's performance in implementing cost-effective programs promoted by this section; and
(B) regulators ensure that, for purposes of recovering fixed costs, including its authorized return, the utility's performance is not affected by reductions in its retail sales volumes.
(5) Energy efficiency
Each natural gas utility shall—
(A) integrate energy efficiency resources into the plans and planning processes of the natural gas utility; and
(6) Rate design modifications to promote energy efficiency investments
(A) In general
The rates allowed to be charged by a natural gas utility shall align utility incentives with the deployment of cost-effective energy efficiency.
(B) Policy options
In complying with subparagraph (A), each State regulatory authority and each nonregulated utility shall consider—
(i) separating fixed-cost revenue recovery from the volume of transportation or sales service provided to the customer;
(ii) providing to utilities incentives for the successful management of energy efficiency programs, such as allowing utilities to retain a portion of the cost-reducing benefits accruing from the programs;
(iii) promoting the impact on adoption of energy efficiency as 1 of the goals of retail rate design, recognizing that energy efficiency must be balanced with other objectives; and
(c) Procedural requirements
Each State regulatory authority (with respect to each gas utility for which it has ratemaking authority) and each nonregulated gas utility, within the 2-year period specified in subsection (a) of this section, shall adopt, pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, each of the standards established by subsection (b) of this section, or, with respect to any such standard which is not adopted, such authority or nonregulated gas utility shall state in writing that it has determined not to adopt such standard, together with the reasons for such determination. Such statement of reasons shall be available to the public.
(d) Small business impacts
If a State regulatory authority implements a standard established by subsection (b)(3) or (4) of this section, such authority shall—
(1) consider the impact that implementation of such standard would have on small businesses engaged in the design, sale, supply, installation, or servicing of energy conservation, energy efficiency, or other demand-side management measures, and

Taking a Meal Doesn't Have to be Gourmet
List your blessings and you will walk through the gates of thanksgiving and into the fields of joy. –Garrison Keillor
One thing that I'm thankful for during this month of November, is the blessing of provision, and the fact that we can bless others.
Even if it's a simple meal, like the one we took our friends last week when their mother passed away.
Food bridges the gap between ourselves and others.
It also provides comfort in time of need.
It doesn't have to be fancy or over-complicated.
I think too many times we want to impress others, or we put expectations on ourselves that if we bring a meal to someone, it better be of a certain caliber.
Where do these silly thoughts come from?
My goal in bringing a meal to a family, is to not only provide nourishment, but to provide comfort and love.
When others go through trying times, it's the perfect time for us to step in and help out.
Whether a good cook or not, I really think we're all called to hospitality.
My meal for "3" people:
1. Turkey Soup
2. Green Salad packed with fresh veggies
3. Small jar of chocolates
I had made turkey soup the night before. It was exactly what this family needed, I was sure. :)
I knew they were healthy eaters and loved salads, so I put a salad together in a Ziploc bag.
I also knew they weren't eating desserts during the week, so why tempt them with a big cake or pie?
I wanted to respect their wishes, so I took a few little treats and put them in a small canning jar.
A little sweet treat for them to "nosh on" if and when they desired. But not the pressure to ruin their diet with a big high-calorie cake.
Sharing the gift of food is something we can do.
It's showing that we love and care.
I can guarantee it will bring thanksgiving and joy to others, even in hard times.
When's the last time you reached out and shared with a family in need?

When I take meals to people, I like to keep it simple. Comfort foods always come to mind, like casseroles, baked pasta or soup. A nice side salad and a crusty loaf of bread round out the meal!
- #2
Absolutely! The last time I cooked a meal for someone, I made a huge batch of roasted chicken and vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions). I took them enough for 2 meals and also included a nice loaf of bread from a local bakery. It was such a simple idea and was a hit with the family. (I skipped the dessert because they weren't dessert people.) I'd definitely do it again the next time I need to bring a meal to a family.

Yesterday! Roasted tomato soup from my freezer (made in August, perfect for using up any "ugly" tomatoes!) green salad, and homemade bread. But the only thing that really mattered was the homemade bread. It's like an edible hug…and my engineer husband has become an expert at it! So we make it to go along with any meal we give away.
We often will give one fresh meal, and another pan of frozen – when we make up baked ziti or penne, we'll make a ton and freeze it in pans to give away. That way they get a meal for their freezer to pull out later.

Looks wonderful. Even if you don't cook something that can just be put in the oven is a nice thought.

Our church is studying the life of Elijah, and did you know that the story of Elijah is filled with several occasions where God blessed with food? Sometimes the references are subtle, but nonetheless, God chose to include them in his word. This is the second time He's used these references to speak volumes to me about the power of hospitality and sharing food. I love how your post piggybacks on this theme for me this week! I'm sharing it on my Facebook page. Bless you!

So sweet, and I'm so thankful for the chances we have to help others. It's truly the best gift in the world! We've been putting together boxes full of food for families over Thanksgiving, and shoeboxes of gifts for kids overseas for Christmas. And you know what? I don't really want anything for myself now – I'd rather give!

Last month a friend was in pain. I grabbed a pork shoulder, braised it and tossed the pulled pork in a container. Made my 15-Minute corn soup and divided that in single servings. Then, while I was packing the bag, I reached in my freezer and tossed in some "pasta and veggies" and whatever else was in containers.
It wasn't pretty. No bows.
(Speed was important.)
The containers were my everyday ones – used and abused.
(So, there's no need for her to feel like she has to ever get them back to me.)
But, it was there quickly – and I think probably tasted good.
Hopefully, she felt loved.

You are truly the sweetest. Can't wait until we can finally meet!
- #9
I couldn't agree with you more with what you said in this post. Food does bind people together even in the hardest of times and it's so sweet of you to do this. I definitely need to take up some of these tips and make a give-away meal for some families this holiday season. I just would love to see the smiles on their faces! :)
- #10
your meal looks so delicious! YUM :)
i took a meal last week to a mama who just had baby #6, and am taking another this week to a another family with a new blessing baby.
when we had meals brought after the birth of caleb in september, it was the *little* touches that meant so much and stood out: the little bag of hershey's kisses, the fun soda to go with the meal. so this week, in addition to my "tex mex" dish, i am packing these yummy and decadent trader joe's cookies and a bottle of fun cranberry sparkling cider!

Just before I read this I was putting together some chicken noodle soup and banana bread for a friend having surgery today. She won't know until she wakes up if they had to remove her thumb due to infection in the bone. She is a foster parent and a wonderful person. I made two banana bundt breads, I will cut both in half and give to other friends as well. It makes me feel thankful that I had the day off to be able to take time to do some extra things for some in need today.
- #12
Absolutely! Whenever I bring a meal to a friend or family member in need – I always bring something hearty and filling. Comfort food, if you will. Because you usually need comforting!
I often like to bring over my golden harvest soup – any orange or yellow vegetable in the fridge goes in; carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin….spices added depend on who is getting the soup. Spicier for some, and sweeter for others. Depending on food/ allergy issues, this can be made vegan and dairy free. However, I particularly like it with homemade chicken or ham stock and a dollop of cream.
Whatever the fine tuning is, the soup is a wonderful thing! It keeps for ages and is easily heated up for a quick, filling and nourishing meal!

Simpler is always better, I say!

It is SCAPES! Oh boy, I love pickled saecps.Vic and I were in Vermont in October and stopped in a typically New England autumn fair. There we got a jar of saecps, pickled eggs, and pumpkin jam. I hear pumpkin is not ideal for jam making, but this stuff was amazing and really more like candy than something you would eat on toast. I can't even recall the toast. The Scapes we served at a party. Nearly everyone really liked them. I would eat them once a week if I could. The eggs are still unopened.I very much like your flier. It is fancy.

Carbon County clerk Bob Pero works with others to electronically count votes from voting machines on election night 2008.
For the first time in any ones memory, the western part of Carbon county will be represented at the state capitol in the 2009 legislative session by two Republicans.
And that was not the only surprise to come out of the November election this year.
Analysis of the voting in the 23 voting districts in Carbon County as released by the Carbon County Clerk's office reveals some interesting voting patterns in the district in the major contests of the November balloting.
In the presidential race Senator John McCain carried Carbon County by a 592 margin over the Barack Obama. McCain carried the following precincts: East County, Fairgrounds, Castle Heights, Northeast Price, Wellington South and North, South County, Spring Glen, Carbonville, Westwood and Miller Creek.
During voting in local races, Brad King won every precinct in the county overwhelmingly with the exception of East County where David Hinkins garnered 209 votes and King had 205. In the final tally however, Republican Hinkins won the senate seat vacated by Mike Dmitrich (senate district 29) through votes from Emery and Utah Counties.
In the county commission races John Jones won the support of every precinct but Castle Heights, Westwood, Castle Heights North and Northeast Price to continue as a commissioner after his appointment last summer to succeed Steven Burge when the latter resigned.
In the other commission race involving incumbent Michael Milovich and Jae Potter, Milovich was reelected by a 304 vote margin. The incumbent won the following precincts on his way to victory: Spring Glen, Carbonville, East Carbon North and South, Fairgrounds, Central Price, East and West Helper. Indian Hills, East Price, South Price, Wellington North and Sunnyside. Voters in Scofield split their 32 votes, 16 for Milovich and 16 for Potter.
In the race for Utah House of Representative District 69 Christine Watkins won quite handily, winning all precincts that cover part of the county over Jerry B. Anderson. Watkins won with 65 percent of the votes and succeeds Brad King in the office for representative from house district 69.
U.S. Representative Jim Matheson won all county precincts in out polling opponent Bill Dew with 79 percent of the vote. He was reelected to Congress in Utah Congressional District two.
Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. also won all Carbon precincts with 65 percent of the county votes to add to his reelection total in the governor's race
A surprise to many in the local voting was the lack of support for the candidacy of Democrat Jean Welch Hill in her race with Mark Shurtleff for state attorney general. Hill, the daughter of Price native Dominic Welch, the former publisher of the Salt Lake Tribune, and Jeanette Vigor Welch, a Helper native, received 40 percent of the local vote in losing to the incumbent in Carbon and the state wide race as well.
Almost all voting totals in Carbon county were once considered solidly Democratic, but in the last few elections that seems to be changing some. In 2004 John Kerry was defeated in the county by George W. Bush for president. This year a closer race than expected for county commissioner between Milovich and Potter, along with the loss by Welch with close ties to the area could signal a change in the voting patterns in the county.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Energy stocks fell on Wednesday, with Chesapeake Energy Corp. declining after its board of directors said it completed a review of Chief Executive Aubrey McClendon's financial dealings and found no wrongdoing.
Shares of Chesapeake CHK, -4.93% initially advanced on the news but ended the day off 0.6%.
The natural-gas producer's board of directors said a review of McClendon's personal business deals did not find "any improper benefit" to McClendon.
The transactions under review included deals involving EIG Global Energy Partners, trading activities of a hedge fund McClendon had co-founded, and a loan to McClendon by a board member.
McClendon, who faced stiff criticism about meshing personal and company transactions, agreed in January to retire on April 1. Chesapeake has said the decision to search for a new chief executive was not related to the review.
The company also said its board of directors concluded Chesapeake did not violate antitrust laws following the acquisition of Michigan oil and gas rights in 2010.
Chesapeake received notice of a Justice Department investigation in June and has been responding to it in addition to conducting its own investigation, the company said.
Why is gold slumping again?
The price of gold, which touched $1,750 an ounce in December, is now around $1,600 - and falling. MarketWatch's Polya Lesova reports. Photo: AP.
Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, -0.96% shares also turned lower, off 0.4%, while competitor Chevron Corp. CVX, -0.38% shares declined 0.8%. ConocoPhillips COP, -0.32% shares lost 1.6%.
A Brazilian judge on Wednesday dropped criminal charges against Chevron Corp. and Transocean Ltd. related to a November 2011 offshore oil spill, according to media reports.
Both companies halted activities at the Frade oil well until December. Chevron is still awaiting authorization from Brazilian regulators to resume operations.
The San Ramon, Calif., company has offered $149 million to settle two civil lawsuits stemming from the spill.
Brazilian authorities had also charged 17 Chevron and Transocean employees, and the civil case sought as much as $20 billion in damages.
Shares of Transocean Ltd. RIG, +4.17% declined 3.5%. A federal judge in New Orleans late Tuesday approved Transocean's $1 billion settlement with the Justice Department for the company's role in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill.
Another federal judge last week had approved a $400 million criminal settlement. The rig operator announced the settlements in early January. Transocean owned the Deepwater Horizon rig, which exploded in April 2010, killing 11 workers and triggering the worst offshore oil spill in the U.S.

I don't think he needs to sit 93 to be successful, but his average velocity needs to be around 91 (where it's been in his previous successful seasons).

If he could do something to keep hitters off of his straight fastball he could be a MLB #4 or 5 starter. Some teams have taught pitchers like him a cut fastball or have worked hard to develop a change up about ten miles an hour slower than the straight fastball but with the same motion.
He's only 24 (in August) but it seems to me that the organization should have started working on this with him last winter. This failure to be proactive is one of the reasons that we seem to be UNABLE to develop the full potential of our prospects.
He would have been much better off with the Dodgers in the bigger park. His curveball his solid though and I think he'd be a fine reliever with what he has now. Not a great one, but an average guy in the middle of a bullpen.

(BLAIR MOREAU - MERCY HEALTH PARTNERS) - Stretching should be a key component to your personal exercise program.
Stretching can help improve flexibility and range of motion of your joints. Stretching should be done only after an appropriate warm up of 10 minutes of light activity also called the warm up. It should also be done after your workout during the cool down. Stretching your muscles before and after your physical activity program will make them feel less sore and ready for the next day's session. Whether you are an exercise enthusiast or just starting out, stretching your muscles before and after your exercise program is very important.
Here are some precautions to keep in mind:
1. Keep the stretch gentle
2. Don't bounce
3. If you feel pain, you've stretched too far
4. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds
5. Repeat the stretch if necessary
Here are a few of my favorite stretches:
• One Leg In One Leg Out Hamstring Stretch - This stretch is good for isolating just one of your legs. This is a good stretch to begin with until you increase hamstring flexibility.
o Sit up straight and a little forward
o Put your right leg straight out in front of you
o Bend your left leg and put your foot against your inner part of your right leg
o Bend forward at the hips and reach out as far as possible on your right leg
o Hold for 30 seconds and then repeat for your left leg
• Calf Step Stretch - This is a calf stretch that can be done basically anywhere. All you needs is a step or some sort of ledge.
o Stand with the front of your foot on the step
o Lower your heel until you feel a stretch in your calf
o Hold for 30 seconds and repeat with the other leg
• Hip Flexor Stretch - These muscles allow you to lift your knees and bend at the waist and are located on your upper thighs, just below the hip bones.
o Kneel on your right knee, cushion your knee cap with a towel or exercise mat
o Place your left foot in front of you, bending your knee at 90 degrees and place your left hand on your left leg
o Place your right hand on your right hip to avoid bending at the waist. Keep your back straight and tummy muscles tight
o Lean forward, shifting more body weight onto your front leg. You'll feel the stretch in your thigh
o Hold for 30 seconds and switch legs and repeat
• Knee to Chest Stretch - This stretch focus on the muscles of your lower back.
o Lie on your back on a firm surface with the your heels flat on the floor
o Gently pull one knee up to your chest until the stretch is felt in your lower back
o Bring the knee as close to the chest as comfortably possible
o Keep the opposite leg in a relaxed comfortable position, trying to keep it straight
o Hold for 30 seconds and repeat with the other leg
• Shoulder Stretch - Keep your shoulder flexible. If the back of your shoulder is tight, you may be more likely to develop rotator cuff problems.
o Stand up nice and tall
o Bring your left arm across your body and hold it with your right arm
o Hold this position for 30 seconds and switch arms
Keep your muscles loose and experience the benefits of stretching.

We discuss treatment, and he makes his decisions based not only on what recommended protocols would be but also by considering what is specifically best for me with regard not only to my overall health but also my lifestyle.

Osceola County Sheriff's deputies arrested a woman on Thursday after they say she struck a child's face with her belt.
29-year-old Rebecca Carvajal, of Kissimmee, is being charged with domestic aggravated child abuse and child neglect after deputies responded to a call placed by a relative of the 6-year-old girl who Carvajal allegedly hurt. Carvajal claims that she regularly disciplines the girl by spanking her with her hand or a belt, but several weeks ago, she accidentally hit the child's face with the belt.
The child had severe bruising around both of her eyes, but Carvajal did not seek medical attention for the child, police say.
Deputies notified the Department of Children and Families, who placed the child with another family member.
The investigation is ongoing with additional charges pending.

Monthly Note on Economic Recovery in Industry (Including a Quarterly Short-term Industrial Outlook) - April 2012 Publicat la data de: 03/05/2012, Ultima actualizare: 11/05/2012
- Autor:
- DG Enterprise and Industry.
On the basis of substantially revised Eurostat data, manufacturing output is now assessed to have weakened somewhat since the middle of 2011, interrupting the economic recovery. Nevertheless business confidence has remained broadly at its long-term average in recent months.
Resurgent international raw materials and energy prices, fiscal consolidation and on-going difficulties in access to finance continue to adversely affect the dynamics of the recovery. Output in the construction sector has fallen substantially in recent months reaching its record low levels particularly following a strong fall in February in civil engineering works (roads and bridges etc.).
In the last three months to February 2012, manufacturing production was some 0.2% lower than a year ago and also some 0.9% below the level registered in the preceding three months. Output has fallen back in the majority of sectors over the last three months: the biggest contractions in production occurred in other non-metallic products, basic pharmaceuticals and beverages industries. Overall manufacturing output is now 12% higher than its trough in early 2009 and some 9% below its former peak in early 2008. Recent data and forecasts for services, including tourism, remain positive, but their future performance depends on the general economic situation.
International demand for EU products has increased rapidly and has supported EU manufacturing production (see last month's special article on the external competitiveness of EU manufacturing). Extra-EU exports have already recovered their previous peak. In contrast, intra-EU trade, internal demand and private consumption continue to be subdued and overall output growth in Europe has lagged that in the rest of the world, particularly emerging Asia and Latin America.
Data on manufacturing employment in the fourth quarter of 2011 shows that the number of persons employed remained broadly stable. The overall manufacturing jobs have shrunk by some 11% compared to their cyclical peak in 2008. The unemployment rate rose to a record high level, but the situation differs greatly between countries. Deteriorating employment expectations suggest little room for immediate improvement.

What's brought me a lot of success in the past is to back up every skill.
*C programming experience gained through independent development of games
*C++ development experience obtained through formal academic studies as well as independent activity X
As soon as I did that, I found that my interviews tripled. Also, when you talk about a project, perhaps emphasize what skills you learned while doing it? Unless it's a well-known thing nobody's going to know just how serious you were about it.

In the aftermath of Barack Obama's re-election, hundreds of thousands of Americans signed online petitions seeking to peacefully secede from the union.
It was a purely symbolic move and the wrong way to go about seceding, but that was not truly their aim. The goal for many of them was simply to express their frustration that the next four years will see more government growth, expanding bureaucracy and a growing regulatory burden, and an understanding that neither party seems to represent their wishes.
Of course, lovers of Big Government and Obama (is that redundant?) quickly chimed in with claims that racism was behind the movement. There were even petitions begun that sought to remove citizenship from those who deigned to exercise their rights under the 1st Amendment.
No doubt the irony that those who petition their government, using a right guaranteed them under the 1st Amendment, should be stripped of their rights for doing so was lost on those starting and signing those citizenship removal petitions.
Americans have suffered under an ever more abusive and ever growing government for many years. The rates of abuse and growth have accelerated exponentially since the 9/11 attacks and the 2008 economic collapse. It has been fueled by both Republicans and Democrats. It spawned the original Tea Party movement (since co-opted by the Republican Party). Secession petitions were just another way of expressing frustration that their voices were not being heard.
On July 6, 1775, the Continental Congress issued a "Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of Taking up Arms," authored by Thomas Jefferson and John Dickinson. One of Jefferson's lines was: "Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them."
It is not yet time to take up arms or secede from the union. For as the Declaration of Independence states: "Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is the duty to throw off such Government, and to provide new guards for their future security."
If the current train of abuses continues unabated, a breaking point will eventually be reached. The political class would do well to heed the growing frustration levels before it is too late.

On a recent lazy afternoon when we should have been finishing budgets and unpacking boxes in our new office, we found ourselves doing a little virtual shoe shopping instead. Our inability to correctly prioritize what we should be working on does have at least one upside. We uncovered a boatload of beautiful shoes during our "research recess" and happily assembled this story with some our favorite finds.
There are many theatrical, dazzling, and over-the-top footwear options this season, but sometimes you want something a little more restrained than, say, six-inch Giuseppe Zanotti Cut-Out Wedges, for example. Our selections are basic without being boring and will thoughtfully supplement any shoe collection (full or sparse alike).
1. Acne Iman Platform Oxford Pump ($519)
We are obsessed anew with Acne Jeans thanks to their latest addition to the shoe universe. It's difficult to accurately communicate how cool these beige distressed suede lace-ups are without sounding brainwashed. Just trust us when we tell you they're sublime, from their leather laces to their peep toes, and very Chloe Sevigny to boot.
2. Proenza Schouler Strappy Stud Sandals ($725)
We like any shoe that looks like it could draw blood, and these runway sandals from Proenza Schouler are no exception to that rule. We give the makers of this shoe two thumbs up for the black cracked leather straps (especially the worn-in patina) and the medieval studs on the stacked heel. Talk about tough love...
3. ASOS Leather Cut-Out Flat Sandal ($80)
A lady cannot live in heels alone (though some of us like to try), so for those moments when one doesn't want the adjective "vertiginous" applied to their shoes we'd like to suggest these simple sandals. The metallic trim is a nice touch, as is the wide weave of the leather straps.
4. Steven by Steve Madden Banglez Sandals ($129.95)
Etro fans, pay attention, because the latest offering from Steve Madden could have been torn from the fashion house's most recent runway show. The leather gladiators are embellished with multi-tone metal studs and come in white, as shown, silver, and black. (Technically it comes in gold too, but we prefer the other options.)
5. Nine West Heech Sandals ($89)
Thrilled doesn't even begin to describe the office reaction when we spotted these simple gladiator wedges. They're a guilt-free version of a celebrity-favorite Balenciaga sandal (as seen on Nicole Richie and Mary Kate Olsen) and an immediate must-buy.
6. Cynthia Vincent Dinah Sandals ($200)
Another super sharp spring shoe we're mooning over is the triple buckle Dinah Sandal by Cynthia Vincent. It's particularly wearable in the above tobacco color and is an excellent combination of form and function.
7. Sigerson Morrison 7802 Flats ($469)
Everyone's been screaming about the Balenciaga high-heeled, black-and-white, leather sandal boots for months now, but they're just so ridiculously hard to wear. Price and lack of availability aside, that is a case of the shoes wearing you, not you wearing shoes, if you know what we mean. That said, we have a not-so-secret crush on these woven Sigerson Morrison flats. The detailing makes what could be another ho-hum pair of black ballet flats something special and timeless.
