Colgate Total Advanced Whitening Toothpaste has dual-silica technology that helps to remove stains and helps to prevent new stains from forming. It has a combination of triclosan for gingivitis protection and fluoride for cavity protection.
The tooth paste is pain free and it works extremely well. My teeth has become noticeably whiter. I believe this is the best stain removing tooth paste. It really keeps our mouth fresh. I would highly recommend this product.
This is the only toothpaste I will use. My dental hygienist recommended it, and I've been using it ever since. Tastes really fresh strength cleaning and whiter, makes mouth feel Clean gently and effectively.
I've been using Crest 3D Whitening Rinse and I have to say, compared to that, Lavoris tastes dreadful! But- it seems to whiten up a bit. So, I picked up a bottle for $1.00. No big loss. It just tastes awful, in my opinion.
I have been using mentadent toothpaste for years. i cannot find in any store near me anymore. CVS doesn't carry it. Neither does Wal Mart. I wish I could find it in a tube. It is inconvient to take with you in the pump. it is the best toothpaste I've ever used. I will order from here after I try one more time to purchase it in a store. I don't care to have to pay shipping.

- Overview
ProMelt electric radiant snow melting cables are the most versatile and lowest cost option for snow melting installation any size, any shape - quickly providing electrically heated walkways and driveways. Cables are ideal for steps, curved or angled areas. Cables can be used for simple rectangular areas too, but mats install faster and easier in those situations.
Environmentally friendly snow and ice removal in the worst conditions is possible without using salt or hazardous chemicals. ProMelt provides energy efficiency and easy installation.
ProMelt heated snow melting cables are manufactured in the USA by SunTouch Watts Radiant (pioneers of indoor radiant heat). You choose your configuration and secure to rebar/mesh or using our Cable Strap on a base surface; maintaining proper and consistent spacing of cables is your job. Larger spacing means less heat but more coverage per cable.
Cables cost 10-15% less than mats and give you layout and heat output options since you control the spacing and determine the layout. Consider ProMelt Mats for a quicker and easier installation (the spacing is already done for you) for just a few dollars more. (See Specifications)
ProMelt is an effective, reliable and invisible snow melting system that will serve you for many years. Projects of 350 SF or less require cables and a snow sensor-controller and are very affordable and convenient.
ProMelt Snow Melting Benefits:
- ProMelt cables provide versatility and allow you to control the Watts per Sq Foot between 38 and 50.
- Automatically activates only when needed means your driveway and sidewalks stay clear and you never forget to turn the system off.
- No plowing or scraping means your walkway and driveway look better and last longer
- Maintenance Free permanent installation. Not like Hydronic systems (water) with pumps, boilers, etc
- Increase safety and reduce liability with ProMelt
- No hazardous chemicals to damage your landscaping or the environment
- No waiting for the plow or shovel to arrive - Dependable automatic snow sensor once moisture and temperature conditions are met activates ProMelt.
- Save Money - Eliminate snow removal labor costs
- The best construction using premium materials means ProMelt is built to last
- Increase the value of your home with an automatic ProMelt System
- Product Details
ProMelt Cables provide the most flexible and low cost installation than any snow melting system in 3 easy steps once you have read all instructions, planned the electrical details, and prepared your jobsite:
- Determine cable spacing and layout we suggest using a spacer like a piece of wood
- Unwind cable(s) to fit any shape area and around obstacles or up steps
- Secure the cable onto the prepared base surface using CableStrap or cable ties to wire mesh/rebar
The ProMelt radiant heating cables are built tough for Permanent installation within virtually any surface to provide efficient melting of snow and ice automatically. They must be completely embedded and at least 1.25 inches below the top of the new layer.

In December, the crinkle of antiquarian Christmas music, the bewitching baritone of Nat King Cole, the palliative tenor of Frank Sinatra, tranquilizes the white heat of my temperament. For a fistful of time, maps are no longer luring, with all their inscribed invites to escape; the prominent, primitive recklessness I feel in all other seasons is as quiet as snowfall.
Mainly it's the merry melodies, the impregnating of possibilities. But then there's the shimmer and twinkle of tiny lights, encompassing tinsel and trees, strung like the hopes of humans, brittle bulbs of brightness. The carolers that come in clarity of candlelight; the hallowed hush of the snowdrifts; the flush of the fire; the scent of cinnamon and pine.
The peppermint candlesticks set on windowsills, Christmas films, and Christmas stories, the papered parcels put under the tree, topped with velvet bows. The ethereal echo of the cathedral choir, the Christmas Eve ceremony unfolding under the afghan of winter stars. And from all, comes a contentedness, so tender, that I feel I might cry, might crumble from it all.
I am flecked with flaws, missteps, misgivings, immeasurable idiosyncrasies, irresponsibility; a rebel, and a runner. I have a tongue too hasty; a will that never wafts, even in the whip of the wind. I dream, and I wish, and I hope. I believe.
Happy holidays! May your hearts be merry and bright!

CENTRAL FALLS – After dropping two straight, Shea High skipper Dino Campopiano has been trying to hammer home the honest truth: If his kids wanted to see any semblance of post-season action, they had to start winning – and fast.
Thanks to senior righthander Bryan Quinlan, the Raiders took their first step toward that ultimate goal Wednesday afternoon.
Quinlan – more affectionately known as "Q" to his teammates and coaches – fired a stellar four-hitter (without a walk), yielded one unearned run and fanned seven as Shea manufactured a workmanlike 3-1 victory over friendly Division II-North rival Central Falls at Macomber Stadium.
"Q" also helped himself at the plate, finishing 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI; with that superb overall outing, Shea improved to 4-9 overall, but – more importantly – 4-6 in league action.
"I'm not surprised; he's been pitching great all year," Campopiano noted after the verdict, one that upped Quinlan's mound mark to 3-1. "Obviously, he was awesome (Wednesday). We played pretty good defense behind him, and we just got some timely hits when we needed to. It resulted in a win we sorely needed.
"He pitched a whale of a ballgame," he added.
To be honest, junior southpaw Elvin Morales did almost as well. He too hurled a four-hitter, allowing only two earned runs and five walks with four whiffs, though the Warriors remained winless at 0-10 in II-North.
"That was one of the better games he's pitched," Central Falls head coach Bill Volpe said of Morales. "He had really good velocity and location, and he threw great. We just didn't get the key hits when we needed them.
"The thing is, we're playing better; we had a 6-1 lead over Scituate (at the top of the II-North standings) but lost, 8-7, (on Monday)," he continued. "We've improved, no question. We're pitching well and playing pretty good defense, but it comes down to clutch hitting. You need to find a way to get guys in, and the kids didn't."
Morales got two immediate outs in the top of the first, but then he walked freshman David Mejia. Quinlan then drove a high fly down the right-field line, one Heriberto Rodriguez couldn't catch up to in the swirling winds, and his eventual opposite-field double plated his teammate from first.
In the back half of that opening frame, it looked as if the Warriors would take advantage of the gusty conditions when seniors Brandon Canuto and Jose Alamo whacked high flies into center, but junior Kevin Moore settled under each.
Shea mustered what proved to be the game-clincher in the third when – with one down – Cervoni drilled a double to left, took third on Moore's bloop hit to center and scored on Mejia's sacrifice fly to right.
On the play, however, Morales intercepted the throw to the plate and fired to third to get Moore.
Canuto had whiffed to start the bottom of the fourth, though junior Emmanuel Antigua ripped a single to center. When Quinlan tried to pick off Antigua, first baseman Seth Larbi threw low to second and the toss ended up in shallow left-center, allowing Antigua to race to third.
Alamo's lined, opposite-field hit to left plated Antigua to tighten the C.F. gap to 2-1. Alamo then robbed second, but Quinlan got out of the jam, forcing junior Jorge Vazquez to pop out before fanning Emerson Antigua.
After Morales posted a fine 1-2-3 fifth frame, it seemed the Warriors would assemble another surge. With one out, sophomore Chris Huertas ripped a hit to center, but was thrown out at second by catcher Nate Pina.
The Raiders collected their insurance run in the sixth after Mejia drew a one-out walk. Quinlan lofted a high fly to center, one that clipped off Emerson Antigua's glove, and Mejia galloped to third. With runners in scoring position, Campopiano signaled to Pina to lay down a suicide-squeeze bunt, but Morales airmailed his delivery, and Mejia scored with ease on the wild pitch.
Quinlan also tried to steal home, but was caught in a pickle, and backstop Alamo applied the tag halfway down the third-base line.
In the latter half of the sixth, Emmanuel Antigua rapped a two-out hit to left, giving C.F. some life; when third-base coach Mike Goodson signaled for him to rob second, however, he overran the bag, and shortstop Mejia quickly applied the tag.
Quinlan retired the Warriors in order in the seventh, one by strikeout.
"Our pitching was there, and our defense was OK; I mean, we only made one error," Volpe stated afterward. "We did run ourselves out of a couple of possible rallies, and that didn't help."
Offered Campopiano: "'Q' hit a bomb in the first, and Cervoni's double in the third, with Mejia's big sacrifice fly, that helped us. They had to put the bat on the ball, and they did that.
"We're just coming into every game now with the mindset that we have to win, especially if we want to make the playoffs," he added. "I've told them that if they want to play more baseball, every game is big. I thought their pitcher did an outstanding job, and he threw well enough to win, but we got some timely hits.
"At this point, we'll take them."
Next on Shea's list: It will bus to Burrillville on Monday for a 3:45 p.m. tilt at Eccleston Field. With a triumph, the Raiders will close in on the .500 mark.

I've had this super sweet set of NOS USA Tung Sol 6L6WGBs that are burning a hole in my pocket. They are pretty sentimental to me since they came from a 1950s-era audio amp...get this...that belonged to my mom! She's been gone for several years now and I've wanted to find a special place for these tubes; maybe a vintage amp of some sort. But the thought crossed my mind that maybe if I found the right PRS amp - an original Dallas, perhaps - Doug could mod it around these tubes? The 6L6WGBs are lower voltage variants of the 6L6 family and are not drop-in replacements for the common 6L6GCs we know and love.
So my question is, what do you guys recommend? Vintage Fender blah-blah (fill in with your suggestions) or should I find the right surrogate to ship to Doug & Company to do something unique? No ideas will be ignored (unless they involve grinding up these tubes and sprinkle them in the finish of the amp shell...ain't doin' that!).

Creighton Has Four Teams Earn APR Public Recognition Awards From NCAA
This is the sixth straight year for volleyball and third straight (and fifth overall) for women's tennis. For both men's tennis and women's basketball, it's the fifth overall recognition, but first since 2007-08 for each.
Each year, the NCAA tracks the classroom performance of student-athletes on every Division I team through the annual scorecard of academic achievement, known as APR. The rate measures eligibility, graduation and retention each semester or quarter and provides a clear picture of the academic performance in each sport. The most recent APRs are multi-year rates based on scores from the 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 academic years.
A perfect score (or graduation rate) is represented by 1,000, while a 925 (50 percent rate) marks the threshold for which the NCAA can impose sanctions on athletic programs.
Full APRs for all teams, including access to postseason play and penalties for low-performing teams, will be released May 14th.
Creighton's student-athletes owned a 3.33 cumulative GPA after the fall 2013 semester.

2010. Thailand. Aditya Assarat. 102 min.
Friday, September 9, 2011, 7:00 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
2010. Thailand. Directed by Aditya Assarat. With Ananda Everingham, Cerise Leang, Sajee Apiwong. Upon returning to Thailand from San Francisco, Ananda gets a starring role in a film shot off-season at a desolate vacation spot in the countryside. His American girlfriend, Zoe, comes to visit, but as the shooting proceeds she becomes plagued by boredom and isolation, and the relationship soon sours. Several months later, Ananda is living in Bangkok with his new Thai girlfriend, May, whom he met on set. Everything goes well at first, but as Ananda becomes increasingly caught up in his expat social circle, May begins to feel isolated and unhappy as well. The film's gentle and at times self-reflexive camerawork explores the internal loneliness of young people adrift between cultures and languages—people who feel displaced and disconnected with the memory of, and debris from, the 2004 tsunami ever present in the background. In Thai, English; English subtitles. 102 min.

It is hard to believe that today is October 1st! As we head into fall, there are two very important, but very different things we celebrate in October—one serious and one just plain old fun!
The first is Breast Cancer Awareness Month-- a very important topic to women. To highlight the topic, Jody's just introduced Breast Cancer Awareness Popcorn. It is pink and white kettle corn- but the most important part is that for a portion of every sale will be donated to the Eastern Virginia Medical School ("EVMS") for breast cancer research at the Leroy T. Canoles Cancer Research Center. This is particularly meaningful to me for two reasons: First, Leroy ("Buddy") Canoles was my partner when I practiced law at Kaufman & Canoles, and this center is in his memory. Second, the school has been very important in the lives of our family -- my husband did his residency at EVMS and is very involved with the school, and our son, Jason, just graduated from that medical school, and received a fantastic education.
Here is a picture of the popcorn! It can be purchased at our store or online.
The second celebration is far less serious—Halloween! For this holiday, we are offering orange and caramel Halloween Funfetti. Here is a picture of the popcorn.
For those that want a little more gore- we also offer Black and Orange Halloween Corn—check out this picture:
We are selling our Halloween corn through various outlets—in Hampton Roads they can be purchased at our store and at the Hunt Club Farm Halloween Celebration, where Jody's will have a tent—come out and see the festivities! In addition, many of our retailers are offering Jody's Halloween Funfetti—we are working on a map for our website to show you where our products are offered. It is not ready yet, but please feel free to call (866-797-JODY) or email (email@example.com) our GREAT Customer Service Representative, Betsy, and she will let you know where in your area you may find it!
Here's wishing you a great beginning to Fall!

Publisher Comments:
The partners at Finley & Figg — all two of them — often refer to themselves as "a boutique law firm." Boutique, as in chic, selective, and prosperous. They are, of course, none of these things. What they are is a two-bit operation always in search of their big break, ambulance chasers who've been in the trenches much too long making way too little. Their specialties, so to speak, are quickie divorces and DUIs, with the occasional jackpot of an actual car wreck thrown in. After twenty plus years together, Oscar Finley and Wally Figg bicker like an old married couple but somehow continue to scratch out a half-decent living from their seedy bungalow offices in southwest Chicago.
And then change comes their way. More accurately, it stumbles in. David Zinc, a young but already burned-out attorney, walks away from his fast-track career at a fancy downtown firm, goes on a serious bender, and finds himself literally at the doorstep of our boutique firm. Once David sobers up and comes to grips with the fact that he's suddenly unemployed, any job — even one with Finley & Figg — looks okay to him.
With their new associate on board, F&F is ready to tackle a really big case, a case that could make the partners rich without requiring them to actually practice much law. An extremely popular drug, Krayoxx, the number one cholesterol reducer for the dangerously overweight, produced by Varrick Labs, a giant pharmaceutical company with annual sales of $25 billion, has recently come under fire after several patients taking it have suffered heart attacks. Wally smells money.
A little online research confirms Wally's suspicions — a huge plaintiffs' firm in Florida is putting together a class action suit against Varrick. All Finley & Figg has to do is find a handful of people who have had heart attacks while taking Krayoxx, convince them to become clients, join the class action, and ride along to fame and fortune. With any luck, they won't even have to enter a courtroom!
It almost seems too good to be true.
And it is.
The Litigators is a tremendously entertaining romp, filled with the kind of courtroom strategies, theatrics, and suspense that have made John Grisham America's favorite storyteller.
"Grisham's entertaining modern-day legal thriller offers a bitingly farcical look at lawyers at the bottom of the food chain. David Zinc, an associate at a Chicago mega-firm who's sick of the sweatshop he's been laboring in for five years, flees the office one morning and ends up spending all day in a bar. Soon after the bartender finally kicks him out, Zinc spots an ad on a city bus for a firm of ambulance-chasers, Finley & Figg, and resolves to join their hapless practice. Meanwhile, Wally Figg, one of Finley & Figg's two partners, thinks he's found a goldmine after learning that a client who died recently was taking an anti-cholesterol drug called Krayoxx. Zinc, who has zero litigation experience, aids Finley & Figg, who likewise lack litigation experience, in filing suit against the huge pharmaceutical company that produces Krayoxx. Grisham (The Confession) makes Zinc's personal transformation more convincing than his professional one. Some readers may feel the fairy tale ending clashes with the dark humor of the opening.

Funny things they say
Posted 15 July 2009 - 12:50 AM
any way let me preface this story w/ every time we're in the car & my girls say they have to pee - I ask if they can hold it i until they get home
so 4th of July we take the girls to west point for fireworks. It's a beautiful night, the band starts playing, & then Jess pukes all over me.
so we leave & are driving home. Jess starts crying saying her tummy hurts. I ask her if she needs to spitoooey (throw up) again & she says yes.
so Catie says "can you hold it in until we get home honey?"

He also calls us Mom and Dad now..we still get Mommy and Daddy, but it's starting to be more frequent to be called Mom and Dad.
When my sister's dog starts barking, he'll look at her very solemnly and say, Lulu, NO thank you--
And my favorite.. I hurt myself the other day and was whining a bit. Gabe came up to me and said, Mom, are you happy? I told him no, I was sad because I hurt myself. He said, Don't be sad, I will make you happy. I will hug you. :heart:

then he went upstairs to the bathroom and asked kev to get down the shaving stuff, because he has to shave because it is part of being a man, too.
he's really interested in the right way to do things, so he always wants to know what the "constructions" are.

Sometimes I forget and actually order that at the drive thru , a crabby patty instead of a hamburger, if the person is a spongebob fan they totally get it and laugh. they can prolly hear him in the background, he's loud"
He has changed his name a few times too. this week he was emily.
If he dresses up in a costume, he says, how do I look? meaning who am I dressed as. god forbid if you say, "you look great"....NO!!!!! I'm Batman, now how do I look?...lol
He calls Ayla baby instead of Ayla. He made a present at day care and had the worker write "mommy, Cadance and baby" on the card....hehehe. Everything is "baby rolled over" or "baby is awake" they adore each other. He is one of the few people she reaches for.

This article was previously published under Q222193
På den här sidan
This article describes the Windows File Protection (WFP) feature.
Windows File Protection (WFP) prevents programs from replacing critical Windows system files. Programs must not overwrite these files because they are used by the operating system and by other programs. Protecting these files prevents problems with programs and the operating system.
WFP protects critical system files that are installed as part of Windows (for example, files with a .dll, .exe, .ocx, and .sys extension and some True Type fonts). WFP uses the file signatures and catalog files that are generated by code signing to verify if protected system files are the correct Microsoft versions. Replacement of protected system files is supported only through the following mechanisms:
How the WFP feature worksThe WFP feature provides protection for system files using two mechanisms. The first mechanism runs in the background. This protection is triggered after WFP receives a directory change notification for a file in a protected directory. After WFP receives this notification, WFP determines which file was changed. If the file is protected, WFP looks up the file signature in a catalog file to determine if the new file is the correct version. If the file is not the correct version, WFP replaces the new file with the file from the cache folder (if it is in the cache folder) or from the installation source. WFP searches for the correct file in the following locations, in this order:
Event ID: 64001
Source: Windows File Protection
Description: File replacement was attempted on the protected system file c:\winnt\system32\ file_name . This file was restored to the original version to maintain system stability. The file version of the system file is x.x:x.x.
If WFP cannot automatically find the file in any of these locations, you receive one of the following messages, where file_name is the name of the file that was replaced and product is the Windows product you are using:
The System File Checker tool gives an administrator the ability to scan all the protected files to verify their versions. The System File Checker tool also checks and repopulates the cache folder (by default, %SystemRoot%\System32\Dllcache). If the cache folder becomes damaged or unusable, you can use either the sfc /scanonce command or the sfc /scanboot command at a command prompt to repair the contents of the folder.
SfcScanvalue in the following registry key has three possible settings:
The settings for the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
SfcScanvalue are:
SFCQuotavalue in the following registry key:
WFP stores verified file versions in the Dllcache folder on the hard disk. The number of cached files is determined by the setting of the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
SFCQuotavalue (the default size is 0xFFFFFFFF, or 400 MB). The administrator can make the setting for the
SFCQuotavalue as large or small as needed. Note that if you set the
SFCQuotavalue to
0xFFFFFFFF, the WFP feature caches all protected system files (approximately 2,700 files).
There are two cases in which the cache folder may not contain copies of all protected files, regardless of the SFCQuota value:
If WFP detects a file change and the affected file is not in the cache folder, WFP examines the version of the changed file that the operating system is currently using. If the file that is currently in use is the correct version, WFP copies that version of the file to the cache folder. If the file that is currently in use is not the correct version, or if the file is not cached in the cache folder, WFP tries to locate the installation source. If WFP cannot find the installation source, WFP prompts an administrator to insert the appropriate media to replace the file or the cached file version.
SFCDllCacheDirvalue (
REG_EXPAND_SZ) in the following registry key specifies the location of the Dllcache folder.
The default value data for the SFCDllCacheDir value is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
%SystemRoot%\System32. The
SFCDllCacheDirvalue can be a local path. By default, the
SFCDllCacheDirvalue is not listed in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogonregistry key. To modify the cache location, you must add this value.
When Windows starts up, WFP synchronizes (copies) the WFP settings from the following registry key
to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File Protection
Therefore, if the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
SFCQuota, or
SFCDllCacheDirvalues are present in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Windows File Protectionsubkey, the values take precedence over the same values in the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogonsubkey.

Slow Cooker Shredded Beef Tacos
We finished up the first week of Crocktober by celebrating my oldest's birthday --- she turned eleven, and while I type, there are seven 11-year-old girls giggling over a rather rowdy game of Clue. We hosted a sleepover last night, and it went really well. She has chosen some pretty fantastic friends, and I am so proud of her.
I was searching through the archives, and found this post I wrote during my 2008 Challenge about her birthday (there's also a caramel apple recipe). It made me cry this morning; I'm turning sappy in my old age!
I've got a great easy recipe for this week's meal plan. Depending on the size of your hunk of meat (I used beef, you can certainly use lean pork, or a bunch of turkey or chicken thighs) this meal can easily be stretched into a next-day soup or casserole.
The Ingredients
serves 6
3 pound hunk of beef (pot roast, tri-tip, rump roast; frozen is just fine!)
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can corn, drained (or 1 cup frozen)
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (whole can)
1 (4-ounce) can fire roasted diced chiles (whole can, I used mild)
1 (1.25-ounce) packet taco seasoning (check for hidden gluten, or make your own)
Homemade Taco Seasoning:
2 teaspoons dried minced onion
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon dried red pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
The Directions
Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the meat into the bottom of your pot, and add the black beans, corn, tomatoes, and chiles. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, and stir carefully with a large spoon to distribute spices. Cover, and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. Using two large forks, shred meat completely and stir well. Serve in taco shells with your favorite toppings.
The Verdict
This is a big hit in my house. Adam and the girls (and me too!) really love Mexican food and could easily eat this once a week. I like that the beans and the corn help stretch the meat and I can fill us up rather inexpensively.
Have a great week! I'm headed to Philadelphia (I've never been before, and am excited!) to appear on Good Day Philadelphia on Tuesday morning to help publicize the Ninja Cooking System. If you live in the area, wave at the TV! :-)

I love that your taco seasoning is salt free. I don't buy the packaged ones because I really try to watch my sodium intake. In making your recipe I would also opt for low sodium or no salt added tomatoes.
Can't do the low sodium cheese though. That just tastes wrong. ;)

So, not to get off task here, but I am venturing into the world of freezer meals for the slow cooker. Do you think just putting all this together and freezing would work? There are some great deals on tip roasts this week and I thought this would be a nice alternative to the regular ground meat tacos. Also, I make what I call "street tacos" using steak seasoned with Mitchell Street Steak Seasoning from Penzeys and it's pretty amazing. No cheese - just homemade guacamole and Pico de Gallo and sometimes a bit of sour cream. Let me know your thoughts!
- October 12, 2012 at 7:00 AM
- Stephanie O'Dea said...
Hi Jen,
Yay! I love fully-stocked freezers. Yes, this will all freeze nicely together. Sometimes black beans split a bit when frozen from the can and then slow cooked all day-- but they don't really bother me. I just wanted you to know. :-)
- October 12, 2012 at 7:08 AM
Simply wonderful. Tasted a lot better than I imagined it would be. Made it spicier, and loved it! One of the better dinner meals me and the boys had.

Pablo Prigioni: Another Overseas Option
His Spanish team, a source said, is offering him a one-year deal. The Knicks likely would want him for either the $2 million lower exception or $1.4 million veteran's minimum…
Prigioni is open to the NBA after spending his entire career in Europe. He has been on the Knicks' radar before. Back in 2009, then team president Donnie Walsh and Grunwald investigated signing Prigioni. But now he's three years older.
One European scout said Prigioni has had a fine career but wonders if, at age 35, he can play 82 games.

No need to thank me, my friend. This is a very old topic argued since the time of Buddha and most likely will never be resolved. The key I think has already been given: "Intention".
If your intention is to cause harm, then your karmic consequences will reflect this intention. If you intention is to be of benefit, then your karmic consequence will be meritorious.
The most difficult issue to deal with, no doubt, as Buddhism moved across the world was overcoming cultural inertia. Buddha-dhamma won over many converts, but in each culture there were attachments. One of the biggest culturally derived attachments of which I have become aware is "food". For example, being half Italian/half German & Welsh I still eat meatballs when they are available, even though I know that some poor cow, and/or pig had to make a life ending donation as a result.
I therefore rationalize, "Life has to consume life in order to survive!"...to excuse my greedy , delusional self-serving actions.
Buddha understood this rationalization for certain, since he was a Tathagatta, Teacher of The Gods.

Following a joint session which saw East Carbon and Sunnyside officials iron out many of their differences and move forward on multiple projects, the East Carbon City council convened Tuesday evening to formally legislate multiple issues.
"We didn't get all of our budget situation taken care of but we made significant progress concerning the cemetery project," explained council member David Maggio.
Prior to their public session, the East Carbon Council came together for a work meeting which allowed for full discussion of the city's current cemetery project with newly hired firm Jones and DeMille Engineering.
The crew at Jones and DeMille took over the project when East Carbon officials became concerned about financial differences with the cemetery's original engineers at JUB.
During said meeting, the engineers unveiled several complete digital layouts for the council to review.
"It was great to be able to see the full digital projection of what the cemetery will look like upon completion," said council member Barbara Robinett.
After looking at four possibilities, the council was able to come to a unanimous decision concerning the best option.
"This third proposal has what we are looking for aesthetically," she continued. "The turnabouts, the layout and the landscaping had everything we were looking for."
The only sticking point concerning the Jones and DeMille plan centered around the proposed dimension of the graves. According to council member Maggio, it is important that the graves be planned at 12 feet long, not the 10 foot plots outlined by the engineers.
"By plotting 12 foot graves we provide the space needed for mechanized digging at the cemetery," said Maggio. "We don't plan to dig these graves by hand and the machine needs the extra space so that stones don't get in the way of new digging."
With that single caveat, the East Carbon Council voted to move forward with the engineer's design. While Jones and DeMille won't begin work until spring of next year, East Carbon and the local partners at ECDC have already begun preparing the site.
"Weather permitting, ECDC machinery will continue clearing and grubbing the cemetery property," explained Maggio. "We will also work to locate and tie into the water lines running through that section."
The approved Jones and DeMille plan call for 1,412 plots to be dug in four quadrants during the project's first phase. An additional 1,392 are planned for phase two of the project which will be coming forward when funding permits.
The completed cemetery will have nine full turnarounds which are fully landscaped. This element while pleasing to the eye is also logistically important as it allows for easy navigation of the property in a vehicle.

Sometimes giving is the best present.
Former Air Force Maj. Lee Carrick and his wife, Suzanne, know what it's like to move around during a military career. But when they saw the deployment tempo and conditions troops were facing during the wars in the Middle East, they wanted to do something to help.
"We both just came on USO as a long-term, nonpolitical organization that was really reaching out and touching the troops directly and around the world," said Lee Carrick, a senior vice president at defense contractor Leidos.
At Suzanne's behest, the Carricks began making significant donations to the USO by mail. Then, when USO representatives contacted them, the couple found more nuanced and personal ways to help.
While discussing specific donation opportunities at the USO's offices in Arlington, Va., the Carricks were drawn to Forward Operating Base Shindand, a remote U.S. base near Afghanistan's border with Iran.
"Lee and I looked at each other and I think we knew immediately," Suzanne Carrick said. "We went with Shindand and it's been a blast. We call them 'our kids' because we feel like they're family."
While the Carricks initially donated money to the USO cause, they started assembling care packages at their Virginia home and sending them downrange to USO Forward Operating Base Shindand. The Carricks get frequent email updates from USO FOB Shindand center manager Frank Stinson, who lets interested donors know what the troops at the remote base near the Iranian border need.
"A lot of them are small requests," Lee said. "They need deodorant. They need toothpaste. And what we really like is we just say: 'What is it they really need?' And Suzanne goes out and boxes it up and takes it to UPS. And you just know that it's really making a difference."
And the pictures are the payoff.
The Carricks became ardent followers of USO FOB Shindand's Facebook page, where gifts from donors around the world – from cookies and toiletries to the new 3D television the Carricks gave the center last year – are chronicled almost daily.
"We look every day on that Facebook page," Lee said. "It just makes you feel so good that, no matter what you see on the news, that there's so many Americans who really do appreciate [their service]. And they're doing it because they care, not because anyone told them to do it.
"No matter what kind of bad day I'm having, I can look at the Shindand page and just smile."
That sentiment was underlined during the 2012 holidays, when the couple made a significant contribution to the annual USO Christmas Convoy. The Carricks' significant financial donation to the convoy brought cheer not just to the troops at Shindand, but to men and women stationed at even smaller, remote combat outposts across Afghanistan who don't have the luxury of a local USO center.
"The pictures we got back, I'm about to choke up now just thinking about these guys and gals out there with nothing," Suzanne said. "And to get excited about getting cans of Monster drink is just amazing.
"We got pictures of them with the helicopters delivering stuff, and that was the best Christmas gift we could have ever gotten."
"Just to see the smiles in these pictures – that's what just amazes me: how resilient these young people are in these really awful situations," Lee said. "You never really see a picture of anybody in a USO tent who isn't happy."

I used MySQL Workbench to define a table - so I have to have defined a database right? But I cannot figure out the name of the database to use for the 4th argument to mysqli_connect. I have the "EER Model" (jdmacdo_MHLendingLibrary) but that didn't work. The "Model Overview" shows something called a "Physical Schemata" (although maybe it's called a "MySQL Schema") named "mydb" (although I don't think I ever entered that name) and that doesn't work either. Attached is a screenshot of the MySQL Workbench page which shows the Model Overview.
Can anyone tell me where I can find what I need for the database argument to mysqli_connect?
Thanks, Bob

Designing a PL/SQL API – BOOLEAN or CHAR?
A simple question: you're designing an API to be implemented as a PL/SQL package, and you don't (yet) know the full extent to which your API may be used, so you want to cover a reasonable variety of possible usage cases.
You have a function that will return a BOOLEAN – i.e. TRUE or FALSE (or perhaps NULL). Should you implement it this way, or should you return some other kind of value – e.g. a CHAR – e.g. 'Y' for TRUE or 'N' for FALSE; or how about a NUMBER – e.g. 1 for TRUE or 0 for FALSE?
This debate has raged since 2002, and probably earlier – e.g. http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:6263249199595
Well, if I use a BOOLEAN, it makes the code simple and easy to understand – and callers can call my function in IF and WHILE statements without having to compare the return value to anything. However, I can't call the function from a SQL statement, which can be annoyingly restrictive.
If I use a CHAR or NUMBER, I can now call the function from SQL, and store it in a table – but it makes the code just a little more complicated – now, the caller has to trust that I will ONLY return the values agreed on. Also, there is no way to formally restrict the values as agreed – I'd have to just document them in the package comments. I can help by adding some suitable constants in the package spec, but note that Oracle Forms cannot refer to these constants directly. Mind you, if the value is being stored in a table, a suitable CHECK constraint would be a good idea.
Perhaps a combination? Have a function that returns BOOLEAN, and add wrapper functions that converts a BOOLEAN into a 'Y' or 'N' as appropriate? That might be suitable.
Personally, though, I hate the NUMBER (1 or 0) idea for PL/SQL. That's so C-from-the-1970's. Who codes like that anymore?
I tend to have both, with a PL/SQL function returning a boolean and a SQL-friendly one returning either YN or TF (with the function suffixed _YN or _TF).
I once met a function that returned Y for Yes, F for False and N for Null/Unknown. Apparently it started up as a True/False/Null but someone wanted the 'T' replaced by Y and it was too late/too hard to replace the N that was being used for Null. Scary.
This leads to the next question of which becomes the wrapper, and which is the wrapped. A 'Boolean to VARCHAR' wrapper can be re-used but on the other hand you can have one function returning a character being used by multiple boolean returning functions. For example a function returning 'ACTIVE','CLOSED','PENDING' can be used for a set of boolean-returning functions of is_active, is_closed and is_pending.
I think there's no single best answer which is why it gets debated a lot.
Kevan Gelling permalink
I go for YN (in a VARCHAR2) with some generic functions – toBoolean(), isTrue(), isFalse() – to convert them to BOOLEAN, if requried.
One reason is the lack of BOOLEAN support in SQL but another is the lack of implicit character conversion in PL/SQL; I don't want to do "CASE WHEN THEN 'T' ELSE 'F' END" just to get the value.
I also like to overload, with the boolean function calling the varchar2 version – one less layer when including in SQL

At age 10 Martin started his career at Disneyland, selling guidebooks in the newly opened theme park. In the decade that followed, he worked in the Disney magic shop and the Bird Cage Theatre at Knott's Berry Farm, performing his first magic/comedy act a dozen times a week. The story of these years, during which he practiced and honed his craft, is moving and revelatory.
Martin illuminates the sacrifice, discipline, and originality that made him an icon and informs his work to this day. To be this good, to perform so frequently, was isolating and lonely. It took Martin decades to reconnect with his parents and sister, and he tells that story with great tenderness. Martin also paints a portrait of his times: the era of free love and protests against the war in Vietnam, the heady irreverence of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the late 60s, and the transformative new voice of Saturday Night Live in the 70s.

"Absolutely magnificent. One of the best books about comedy and being a comedian ever written." (Jerry Seinfeld)
Get this audiobook. It's one of the best show biz biographies I have ever seen. Definitely the best one that ever mentioned Dariel Fitzke's Showmanship for Magicians. Actor/comedian/writer/art collector/banjo picker/magician Steve Martin details his journey from aspiring young magician to the biggest comedian of all time (he was the first comedian to sell out 45,000 seat venues).
You'll find out that his overnight success took ten years and only then happened when he decided to go his own path. Despite the frequent bookings on the Tonight Show, fame and headliner status eluded him for a long time. He'd been demoted to performing only on guest host nights for a long period because Johnny wasn't in to his act. When he slowly found his way, Johnny became his biggest fan.
I sat down with this book to just read a chapter and couldn't put it down. I read the whole thing in one sitting. I'm getting the audiobook next. It's an amazing story of how a performer struggled and grew in his art. It's the best analysis I've ever read of what it takes to be an original and how hard it can be to get acceptance for that.
I could go on about this book, but you should really just be reading the book. So I'll end this right here: Go get this audiobook!
"Great for a first timer!"
This was my first Audible Audiobook, and I was curious as to whether I would enjoy it or not. I loved it! Steve does a great job narrating the book himself and it keeps you entertained the whole time. I like books that give you an inside look to worlds you wouldn't normally get to see, and that's exactly what this book does. Highly Recommended.
"Well Written and Narrated"
I have actually listened to this several times. It is fairly short, but a well written account of the evolution of his act. It is hard to imagine the years that went into editing out the bad material and fine tuning the good to make Steve Martin one of the funniest comics. It seems to get funniest at the end, like his act, insightfully spanning a few decades. It is also fun to hear his familiar voice reading the story of his professional life.
"Loved it!"
What a charming genuine affable guy. Loved the book. My only problem with this book is that it isn't long enough. I wanted more. I'll wait for his second memoir.
This is an excellent book and Steve Martin's narration makes you feel like you're in his living room listening to him tell his story to you personally. I loved it!
"Why he walked away"
Quite a memoir from the once "wild & crazy guy"! Steve dated Stormie Omartian? (GASP! LOL)
The flat tone may turn some listeners off, but Steve Martin wisely chose it to emphasize just why he walked away from stand-up comedy after all the work he put into making it.
Steve Martin has a great reading voice, and I think he has another career ready when he decides to walk away from acting.
Highly recommended!
"Really good"
I have so much respect for this man after having read (listened to) this book. When anyone works as hard as he did, you have to admire them. This is not a guy who fell into his career, he is someone who worked and worked to get to where he is. And, he reads it which is very entertaining. I highly recommend this book.
tired teacher
"Stands up well"
I have always been a fan of Steve Martin. To me, a comedian/actor has to strike a balance between being able to be incredibly funny and yet have the ability to be serious when appropriate. Steve Martin found that balance. Many of his movies are on my all-time faves list, but I also enjoy his standup routines. I think he is a genuine person, and that reaches out to me. So it isn't surprising that I enjoyed reading about his life. No, this is not a literary masterpiece, but as far as memoirs, it is fairly well written, entertaining and engaging.
Martin reads his own memoir, and does a fine job of it. He is, after all, an entertainer.
"Very enjoyable"
Very enjoyable "behind the scenes" perspective from one of my favorite performers. I listened to the audio version which he also narrated and played the banjo which enhanced my enjoyment of this book even more. No earth-shattering revelations here, but an enjoyable summer read.
Sure, I'd love to hear your story....
"A stand-out book"
I've always liked Steve Martin, but it wasn't until I started to read his books that I can say I LOVE Steve Martin. And this book, more than even the fiction he's written, reminds me of what a great talent he is.
I'm not a celebrity watcher so I was hesitant about this one. I finally decided I'd try it because I thought it might be sort of funny. Yes, there's humor but this much more about an era. I was zapped right back to my adolescence and early adulthood spent watching Saturday Night Live and learning to do the "Tut" walk. It's a great book if you get the references (does everybody remember the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band?) but even if you don't it's a revelation on how comedians are created (or create themselves) from their circumstances. Seldom are we priviledged enough to really get into someone else's head, but you'll want to crawl inside this one and enjoy looking around. Loved it.
"Interesting insight into a great comedian"
Steve Martin's narration is wonderfully clear and insightful, unlike many of his contemporaries he is able to recall the early days of Saturday Night Live and the 70's stand-up seen brilliantly. It is a useful look into the formation of his career and how he struggled early on. I would have preferred it to be a little longer as it's much more interesting than many celebrity auto-biographies.
"Funny Guy!"
Yes, yes, yes. This is the first audiobook I have heard by Steve Martin and thoroughly enjoyed. It's fantastic hearing the author tell his thoughts and jokes.
Great book and a story that brings you up to date.
I wouldn't say I enjoyed one chapter or scene more than another, I did however love hearing how the conception of some of his catchphrases came into being.
The book was a very open and honest account of his life, a must buy if you like Steve Martin, his work and comedy. My only downside was I felt it was too short.
"Well worth your time"
It's a bit light on the humour but all the same, it's very interesting. His relationship with his parents, particularly his father comes as a surprise. He goes into detail about his route into the business, the highs and lows, the loneliness, and it's very revealing. Very well written and Steve reads it in a very matter of fact way - one that will stay with you long after you've read it.
"Tears of a clown."
I heard Scottish comedian Susan Calman recommend this book but having quite a mixed opinion of Steve Martin I thought it would just be a few hours of him massaging his own ego.
However I admit to being very wrong and understood Ms. Calman's reason for recommending it. This honest and sometimes very sad memoir of Steve Martin is a very memorable and surprising listen. Yes, there is plenty of humour but it clearly shows the road to fame has been a hard journey for the star and he readily admits to his own faults. At the end of it my opinion had been altered somewhat.
I would recommend this. It may not change your opinion of Steve Martin but it is an enlightening listen from the author.
The best read autobiography I've heard. Brilliantly told story of his rise to fame and the start middle ant then end of his stand up comedy career. This is well worth reading.
"Great insight into the life of a great performer"
Insightful. Entertaining. Comical.
None I can think of.
His voice reading his story made it all the more real. It's his story after all so his tone changes naturally when it needs to, giving the book an extra dimension of reality as well as entertainment.
Mostly the part when talking about his relationship with his father. So honest and open about such an intimate subject. Fair play to him.
I liked the way he gave insight into the comedy circuit. I've kinda always wondered what it was like but never had the cojones to actually go try stand up. It's was a great listen.
"excellent and entertaining"
I found this book to be well written, well read and a very interesting insight into the life of a clever and artistic man. Very entertaining. I would listen to it again in the future and there are not many books I would say that of.
"Not what i expected."
I love Steve Martin as a comic, but after listening to this I am not so much a fan anymore. It does seem to be true that a comic has a difficult life, and he seems to have had his fair share of obsticles to overcome in his life. Not one I would recommend.
