2010 Oregon Pinot Noirs
The 2008 vintage for Oregon Pinot Noir was possibly the vintage of the decade. "Superb," " terrific," and "epic" were terms used regularly in practically every major wine review. Sadly, most of these wines have long ago sold out, but this is a wonderful opportunity to taste some of the new 2010 Oregon Pinot's that are rolling in.
Due in part to a much cooler spring and early summer, 2010 led to substantially lower grape yields. This lower yield did provide very high quality fruit with lots of concentrated flavors and polished acidity creating wines that are elegant, balanced, and naturally food friendly. Here are a few of my recent favorites.
2010 Anam Cara 'Nicholas Estate' Pinot Noir ($28.99): The fruit is grown in the Chehalem Mountains, high atop the Willamette Valley .This flagship wine incorporates fruit from all five blocks of the estate vineyard and contains intense aromas of red berries, spice, and subtle oak. A finesse driven wine with soft tannins.
2010 Archery Summit 'Premier Cuvee' Pinot Noir ($39.99): 100% of the Pinot Noir grapes were sourced from 5 estate hillside vineyards crafting a wine that is elegant, yet complex. A floral bouquet of violets and roses and a tasty core of raspberries, cherries, and a touch of spice.
2010 Eyrie 'Dundee Hill' Pinot Noir ($32.99): The Eyrie vineyard and winery were founded in 1966 by David and Diana Lett, and they were the first to plant Pinot Noir vines in the Willamette Valley. Rooted by their philosophy that the vineyards and wines should have as little human interference as possible, the results are wines that can often rival some of the best French Burgundies.
2010 Trisaetum 'Coast Range' Pinot Noir ($52.99): Located on the Southwest corner of the Yamill-Carlton AVA, this wine expresses a slightly richer style for an Oregon Pinot Noir. Black cherry and blackberries are the core of this wine while being framed by soft licorice flavors and spices $52.99. 2010 Trisaetum 'Ribbon Ridge' Pinot Noir ($52.99): Stylistically different from the 'Coast Range' as this wine's aromas are dominated by more holiday spice and tea components along with soft blueberry and cherry flavors.

This past weekend French farmers transformed the Champs-Elysees -- that famed thoroughfare in Paris that is named for the Elysian Fields -- back into something that indeed looked like fields, or at least a huge farmers market.
A report from the BBC says that Jeunes Agriculteurs (the French Young Farmers union) staged the event to highlight their financial problems, caused by falling produce prices.
The farmers trucked in about 8,000 plots of earth -- about 150,000 plants, including 650 full-grown trees -- and some livestock, in hopes of impressing the public with the efforts required to put food on the table.
"It's about re-establishing contact with the public about what our profession is and what they want from it," William Villeneuve, president of the Jeunes Agriculteurs, told the BBC. "Do they want the cheapest products in the world or do they want products that pay producers?"
A fair point. Plus, it's remarkable to see that famed avenue, which runs from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, turned into a spectacular ribbon of green.

Countdown-to-Christmas finishes
- • Three days before Christmas: Aerosol Lacquer
- • Two days and counting: Shellac
- • 'Twas the night before: Water-based Poly
'Twas the night before: Water-based Poly
Water-based polyurethane has many advantages: It dries fast, builds fast, and puts off only minor fumes, so you can finish indoors.
For best results, stir the can well, and apply with a synthetic or foam brush. Use a brushing technique similar to that for shellac: Work fast, apply a thin coat, and avoid overworking the finish.
Allow two hours for the first coat to dry. If the grain raises noticeably, don't sweat it. Sand it smooth again with 220-grit sandpaper, remove the dust, and apply the next coat. Water-based poly builds fast, so two or three coats usually suffice.
The downside: Because it dries so quickly, water-based polyurethane can be finicky to brush. It is temperature-sensitive. And it raises the grain. But follow the steps above, and when the last coat dries, the minimal fumes mean you don't have to wait. Drop the gift under the tree, nestle yourself snug in your bed, and watch visions of sugar-plums dance in your head.

Our community broadband preemption map has merged with the community broadband map.
Utah has some additional restrictions that cause significant headaches. Per Utah Code 10-18-302, "not more than 50% of the average annual debt service of all revenue bonds described in this section to provide service throughout the municipality or municipal entity may be paid from the revenues described in Subsection (3)(a)(ii)." Not being able to bond for more than 50% of the total cost of the network is crippling at best. One of the reasons UTOPIA has struggled so much is that the shared portions of the network ate up a significant chunk of the first round of money, yet that scale of project is required to effectively attract service providers. That UTOPIA manages to get anything done with this restriction is a small miracle.
The Louisiana law (at RS 45:844.47) additionally forbids _any_ public-private partnership. This was decisive in shutting down New Orleans public WiFi network and forcing them to give what the community had built and supported over to a private owner who subsequently got out of the business, abandoning the network. This provision strips the patina of ideology off such laws--it is intended to preserve the status quo ante and to protect the incumbents from _any_ competition whatsoever. There is no "free enterprise" involved.
For those readers who might be interested: the entirety of the (un)fair competition act, with additional restrictions passed in the year following its enactment runs from RS 45:844.41 to RS 45:844.56
Check out, just for fun, RS 45:844.56 which tries to allow offended incumbents to abrogate contracts (contra explicit clauses in the state constitution forbidding such) in a naked attempt to scare localities into thinking that raw retribution by the current providers is legalized.
Or right before that, in the complicated enforcement clause (RS 45:844.56) the most egregious silliness is concealed from those who are not familiar with the Louisiana Constitution. That clause is complicated because the constitution specifically forbids the state public service commission to regulate local community utilities. So a convoluted route to getting the regulations from the PSC is capped by the fiction that the legislative auditor (YES! the legislative auditor) is actually making the decision. That contortion too is of doubtful constitutionality...but...
Sidelight: the legislative auditor, an employee of the legislature, gets to devise a "list" of private corporate auditors that the local community has to pick from to help enforce said rules. That could be a list of one. Can we say corruption? Opportunity for self-dealing? The sudden influx of AT&T and Cableco "business" to said private entity?
There's more, of course, including a bit of craziness that requires the municipality to charge its customers for rental fees on poles it owns, but that should be enough to give the general flavor of the law.
In Virginia, two open access networks have been in operation for years despite the fact that the state was an early leader in making it difficult for local governments to get involved in telecommunications. nDanville (www.ndanville.net) is starting its third year of operation and has been very popular with businesses in the city of Danville, and The Wired Road (www.thewiredroad.net) has been in operation for eighteen months. Neither network has been challenged by incumbents because all services are provided by private sector companies, and the incumbents were all invited to use the networks. nDanville is owned and operated by the City, and The Wired Road is a regional authority with two counties and a small city (Galax) as the primary partners.
There are lots of governance and ownership options available that can avoid legal restrictions. It is just a matter of being aware of how to structure governance in a way that avoids fights with incumbents. It is easy to do, and restrictive laws need not be a barrier to community-owned telecom infrastructure.
While I understand the ideological attractions of open networks, in point of fact the requirement that public networks be open is one of the tools that the incumbents have successfully used to insure that public networks fail.
Most open networks in the US are the result of such forced openness, not the free choice of the communities who were forced to play by those rules. Open networks are reasonably implicated in the failures or struggles of a number of public networks by those on the scene.
The idea that Virginia which absolutely forbids public participation in the lucrative cable business (so none of your examples can support their network with that tool) and which has a clause which forbids any non-cable "telecom" business from charging less than an incumbent [§ 56-484.7:1 Para C] is a VERY poor example to hold up as giving "lots of governance and ownership options." Those two restrictions alone cut out ANY competition for cable services and ANY competition for any other 'telecom' service if the incumbents choose to offer an equivalent service.
I cannot imagine that it is "easy" to avoid such restrictions...all the solutions are left in the meager spaces where the private sector has not (yet) decided it wants to invest. Competition is forbidden. If there was no incumbent objection to the public involvement in the projects you mention it can only be because no one in the private sector was offering any competition or wanted to...Projects which amount to using public resources to provide an infrastructure for private gain are dubious and no responsible community would offer such subsidies if they had the honest choice to build and own their own project.
The people of Viginia are very poorly served by such "solutions." And by such rationalizations.
The real solution is to repeal such laws; it is no solution to make light of law enacted specifically to forbid the alternatives that made BVU such a success.
The Florida law is more like a "de facto" ban than just a "barrier." In addition, to the requirement to turn a profit within 4 years, the law also prohibits below-cost pricing by municipal providers (meaning that municipalities cannot respond to predatory pricing by incumbents in competitive markets). It also limits revenue bond maturities to 15 years (meaning that the longer bond term typically required for municipal broadband systems would require a referendum). Finally, the law requires municipalities to first provide private providers with the opportunity to provide the system that the municipality intends to provide. Collectively, these requirements make it close to impossible for a municipality to secure financing to build a municipal broadband system in Florida (unless the municipality's right to operate a broadband system was grandfathered by Florida law).
Monopolies are the bane of a free market and the US is full of them.
Most utilities are monopolies, etc.
I know this article is a little old, but it appears that the statute mentioned in the Missouri ban specifically exempts internet-type services. I think that as long as the municipally owned network provides only computer-type service it's exempt.
Texas has banned municipalities from deploying their own fiber networks??
What kind of crap is this?
Now I want to move out of Texas.

Mortgage rates moved into record low territory again last week, with the average rate on the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate ticking lower to 4.09 percent, according to Bankrate.com's weekly national survey. The average 30-year fixed mortgage has an average of 0.43 discount and origination points.
The average 15-year fixed mortgage rate pulled back to 3.28 percent—also a record low t—while the jumbo 30-year fixed mortgage held at 4.61 percent. Adjustable mortgage rates were mixed, with the average 3-year adjustable down for a third consecutive week to a new low of 3.06 percent, while the 7-year and 10-year ARMs both inched higher, to 3.20 percent and 3.53 percent, respectively.
Although corporate earnings have been strong, recent economic data has been more suspect and the European debt crisis is an ongoing saga. Together, these are keeping both bond yields and mortgage rates at historic lows. Mortgage rates are closely related to yields on long-term government debt.
The last time mortgage rates were above 6 percent was Nov. 2008. At the time, the average 30-year fixed rate was 6.33 percent, meaning a $200,000 loan would have carried a monthly payment of $1,241.86. With the average rate now 4.09 percent, the monthly payment for the same size loan would be $965.24, a difference of $276 per month for anyone refinancing now.
For a full analysis of this week's move in mortgage rates, go to http://www.bankrate.com.

Ben Stein's Diary
Up On the Roof
When this old world is getting you down -- but how can it be?
Hot, hot, hot here in Sandpoint. It was hot as soon as I awakened and got out on my deck to look at the lake. Too hot to get up. I went to the guest room, a very small room with just one double bed and a few sticks of furniture. But it looks up at the Selkirks and also is right next to Mister Buffett's trains. On almost any day, you can look out of the window from the bed and see fleecy clouds. The sky is a pure blue. No smog at all.
The clouds remind me of the clouds that Ferris Bueller was looking at on the day when he decided to take the day off. They are powerfully relaxing.
I lay there for a while contemplating my fears --usually about money, especially about running out of money before Alex and I die. These fears have become especially powerful as I have grown older. My shrink says they are a metaphor for fears of death. Maybe so, but they are deeply frightening anyway. Suicide. Then I think, "Suicide because you have too many homes? Are you crazy?" Do not answer, dear diary. You know me too well.
I got up, made breakfast for Alex and me -- the usual, scrambled eggs, English muffins, OJ, Tazo Refresh herbal tea, one of the many great gifts from my sister (she also told me about Hill's Resort in Priest Lake many years ago).
I got dressed and went out for a ride on my mighty Cannondale bike all around the town. I especially love riding around City Beach. At this time of year, it's packed with visitors, especially high schoolers from the area and some parents and some very young kids.
A stunningly beautiful little girl came walking past me holding an ice cream confection that looked as if it had about ten different kinds of ice cream, all different, cheery colors.
I went to the ice cream/refreshment stand to see what the ice cream could be. At just that moment, the girl with the ice cream appeared, possibly to get a refill.
Truth to tell, I don't recall exactly what she looked like but I do remember that the ice cream had some blue in it like the blue in her eyes. I wished I had my camera with me. Her perfect little face next to that ice cream would have been good.
"What's in that?" I asked the woman behind the counter, who gamely tried to reconstruct it.
"How old are you?" I asked the little girl.
"This is so cool," she said breathlessly. "I'm talking to Ben Stein and he's a celebrity. I'm almost twelve." I think she said that. I really wasn't paying attention. She might have said she was almost sixteen. I just don't remember.
I asked her what her name was. "Jackie," she said. "Jackie Sweet." She was simply adorable. I wish I could live long enough to make a movie about what happens to someone that beautiful in North Idaho post 2012. I hope lots of good things.
Back home to pay bills (an excruciating process), and take a long nap. Then out on the boat with Tim Farmin and Alex to have some spectacularly good Bottle Bay Burgers. A Bottle Bay Burger, which you can ONLY get at Bottle Bay, about a ten-minute boat ride from our marina at The Seasons, is a hamburger with cheddar cheese and chutney. It is heavenly.
We looked out at two frisky English Springer Spaniels that kept jumping into the water and eventually got on a paddle board with a boy and balanced themselves perfectly. This is a peaceful scene and I wish it stayed warm all year in North Idaho so we could go to it all year, but it does not stay at all warm after summer and Bottle Bay Resort is closed anyway.
(In North Idaho, a resort is not like The Greenbrier. It can be a very small café and a few rooms to rent.)
Back to The Seasons, and then another nap. Then Alex and I got into our rented Chrysler and headed up to Hill's. The drive along the river was stupendously beautiful. In my humble opinion, that broad river, with its many meadows and mountain faces abutting it, is almost as beautiful as the ride to Hope, with its wetlands, sloughs, and literally endless lake views. But there is no one on that road. Why? The views are stupendous, again. Why go to Disneyland?
The Northwest is the America we think of when we pledge allegiance to the flag. Jane Heyman told me that long ago, and she was totally right.
At Hill's, I had delicious spare ribs, then bought a lot of postcards, then headed home.
In Priest River, about half way back to Sandpoint, I got pulled over by the local police for speeding. This is a real problem in the Northwest, at least for me. The speed limits shift dramatically, and bingo, all of a sudden, it was 60 and then it's 35 and you're caught.
This has happened to me in Priest River a great many times.
But the obliging policeman laughed and only gave me a warning, so I was happy and drove very slowly all the way back to Sandpoint.
I love this area a lot. Thank you, Mark Story, famous director, for telling me about it. Thank you, God, for making it. Thank you, Peter Feierabend, RIP, for making me feel welcome here.
Expulsion from Eden. Alex and I drove down to Spokane to catch a plane to Chicago. The trip was totally uneventful except that we stopped at Del Taco in Hayden for a taco. It was crowded so we left. The manager came out to the parking lot and waved me inside. He told me to sit patiently and he would get me my usual taco. Sure enough, out came the taco. It was heavenly.
One of the great culinary secrets of life is that well-prepared fast food is as good, or better, than haute cuisine.
That is a fact that is especially evident at Del Taco, although the tacos are also good at Taco Bell. There is another factor: "Hunger is the best sauce," says the Roman maxim, and it's true. It is especially true if the people at the Del Taco remember me and are kind to me. Hunger plus kindness plus smiling faces all make a good sauce.
Now, this has been quite a day. I am here in Chicago with Big Wifey at The Peninsula. Tonight, I spent three and a half hours at a reception for graduates of American Intercontinental University at Harry Caray's Steak House.
AIU is predominantly on line but with some "ground campuses" as well. The moving thing about it is that its students are highly non-traditional. People who have worked terribly hard to get their degrees while working full time and taking care of a family. They are largely minority (I guess for now they are minority), and deeply determined to make something of themselves.
I talked to many of them. My favorites were a woman named Alvania, from a small town in Mississippi, and another woman who had served ten years in the Navy Construction Battalions, building things under fire in Iraq. She wants to be a coroner. These are impressive people.
When I think of how hard they work, and what a privileged life I led as a student, I truly am embarrassed at how much I complained. I really lived like the Aga Khan and I bitched and moaned endlessly. That was until I joined the Alpha Delta Phi, met Mary J., and my life became paradise.
I will pray for the Alpha Delta Phi and for Mary always.
Graduation at the Navy Pier for AIU. I really was so choked up at the ceremony and how hard the kids had worked for their degrees that it was hard to sit still. The best was a woman with advanced MS who had to be helped across the stage. She was shaking badly but smiled when she got her diploma. This country still has some life in her.
Now, we are back in L.A. Yesterday I had lunch with my genius stock broker, Jerry Au, from Merrill Lynch, and my dear pal and financial guru, Phil DeMuth, at Mister Chow. Life in Beverly Hills is pretty damned nice. I know I don't deserve it. You don't have to tell me. I know.
I will just tell you I cannot afford this life much longer. I am going to downsize and just live quietly somewhere. Soon, too. I just do not have the strength to live this large much longer. I wish I were as sensible as my sister, but I never have been and never will be. She lives a life that has balance. I am a fiddler on the roof, to coin a phrase. But what a roof it is, surrounded by stucco and a glittering blue pool and palms and jacarandas and cedars and my Julie Good Girl always wanting me to throw the ball for her.
What a roof.

Two separate murders in Southern Colorado, and now, several suspects are behind bars.
The first one happened around 1:15 Sunday morning in Pueblo on the 1800 block of Mohawk on the city's east side.
The other one was in Pueblo County, just south of Avondale on Fields Road. Bradley Chandler was arrested in connection with that murder, accused of gunning down his own stepfather.
According to jail records, Mario Bonetta and Alvin Lark are now charged with first-degree murder in connection with the city's murder.
Pueblo Police said a woman was at a party on Mohawk. She apparently got into an argument with other party-goers, so she called her daughter, Amanda Sanchez, to come pick her up.
When Sanchez got there, the fight continued into the street and the daughter was gunned down.
"Maybe 3 or 4 shots were fired," said Christopher Coleman, a neighbor.
"There was lots of screaming and yelling. This isn't the first time it's happened, though," said Coleman.
He's a soldier who's been to Iraq twice. He told 11 News he can't believe he heard gunfire outside his front door. "It does worry me doing what I do. I come back and there's more stuff going on here than there is over there."
"It's usually quiet and it's been that way for years," said Thomas Gilmore, another neighbor. "But it's changing."
Neighbors said in the past year, this area has had problems.
Pueblo Police say it was a senseless death. "It's a crack house, a flop house to do drugs," said Sgt. Eric Bravo.
The suspects were tracked down shortly after the shooting, not far from the scene.
Police said a third suspect, 20-year-old Liani Sandoval, was also arrested in connection with this murder for being an accomplice.

Pohang Steelers climbed to fourth in the K-League with a 3-1 victory over Ulsan at the Pohang Steel Yard on Sunday.
Steelers defender Kim Dae-Ho opened the scoring with a rare goal in the 41st minute before Brazilian forward Maranhao levelled the contest on 58 minutes.
Ghanaian striker Derek Asamoah restored Pohang's advantage in the 68th minute, with Park Seong-Ho putting the result beyond doubt four minutes later.
The result sees Ulsan slip to fifth on 58 points, while Pohang (59 points) trail third-placed Suwon Bluewings by three points.
Ulsan play host to second-placed Jeonbuk Motors next up, followed by the first leg of their AFC Champions League semi-final showdown with Bunyodkor.
Pohang will take on Gyeongnam in the final of the FA Cup before resuming their K-League campaign against Busan I'Park.

Anyone else have this happen? My stomach is a little bigger, and my breasts are still sore.

This is my first pregnancy to go this far (had a miscarriage in May), so I really am worried that something is wrong, although I did hear the heartbeat two weeks ago....Someone tell me I'm just being paranoid!!

Well i have the same feeling but when i was pregnant with my first baby i never had morning sickness or anything like that. But i also have to tell u that every pregnancy is not the same because when i was 15 weeks pregnant i had a still born and it was like the end of the world and just like u i heard my baby heartbeat like a week before i had the ultasound and when i had the ultasound they found no heartbeat. Now i am 12 weeks and scared to death of what can happen. All i can tell u is that if u are unsure of things go to your doctor that is the best way to really know what is going on. I hope that this story didn't scare you just help you. I don't want anybody to go through what i went through so just stay strong and have faith in your GOD..posted 12/08/2007 by quesie2008

I know each pregnancy is different but geeeeeeee weeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzposted 12/11/2007 by MyraJ
The same thing happened to me last pregnancy and I ended up having a painful miscarriage at 14 weeks. I know this is not the answer you wanted to hear ,but it was almost the worst experience of my life. I have two boys 5and2 and am currently pregnant in my 13th week as well although I have had 6 miscarriages so far with no apparent reason found and the doctors still dont consider me high risk. Although the doctor did tell me that every pregnancy is different and it could of gone either way it is in God's hands if it is meant to be it will. Good luck and try not to dwell on it. What will be will be.posted 10/03/2007 by gertiewally

OBJECTIVE To study how type 2 diabetes adversely affects brain volumes, changes in volume, and cognitive function.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Regional brain volumes and ischemic lesion volumes in 1,366 women, aged 72–89 years, were measured with structural brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Repeat scans were collected an average of 4.7 years later in 698 women. Cross-sectional differences and changes with time between women with and without diabetes were compared. Relationships that cognitive function test scores had with these measures and diabetes were examined.
RESULTS The 145 women with diabetes (10.6%) at the first MRI had smaller total brain volumes (0.6% less; P = 0.05) and smaller gray matter volumes (1.5% less; P = 0.01) but not white matter volumes, both overall and within major lobes. They also had larger ischemic lesion volumes (21.8% greater; P = 0.02), both overall and in gray matter (27.5% greater; P = 0.06), in white matter (18.8% greater; P = 0.02), and across major lobes. Overall, women with diabetes had slightly (nonsignificant) greater loss of total brain volumes (3.02 cc; P = 0.11) and significant increases in total ischemic lesion volumes (9.7% more; P = 0.05) with time relative to those without diabetes. Diabetes was associated with lower scores in global cognitive function and its subdomains. These relative deficits were only partially accounted for by brain volumes and risk factors for cognitive deficits.
CONCLUSIONS Diabetes is associated with smaller brain volumes in gray but not white matter and increasing ischemic lesion volumes throughout the brain. These markers are associated with but do not fully account for diabetes-related deficits in cognitive function.

By: Authors Posted: Feb. 25 2010 9:35 AM 0 Ex-New Orleans police lieutenant Michael Lohman pleaded guilty to trying to cover up the fact that officer's in his command shot unarmed civilians searching for food in the wake of the storm Michael Lohman, a 21-year veteran of the force, pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice. Prosecutors said Lohman and other unidentified officers conspired to fabricate witness statements, falsify reports of the incident and plant a gun in an attempt to make it appear the killings were justified. U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said the investigation is continuing and would not say whether higher-ranking officials of the police department might be involved. Lohman's plea brought at least some closure to families of victims in the best-known of several violent incidents that raised questions about police conduct immediately after Katrina. The shootings happened on Sept. 4, 2005, six days after the storm smashed levees and flooded 80 percent of the city. Read more at HuffPo That's a step in the right direction.

Gluten-Free Thanksgiving: 7 Better Recipes For Health-Conscious And Gluten-Intolerant Guests
With bountiful plates overflowing with rolls, gravy, stuffing and, of course, pie, it's hard to think of a family gathering more fraught with anxiety for the gluten-free guest than Thanksgiving. As more people are diagnosed with gluten intolerance or celiac disease, or are avoiding gluten for health reasons, food-centric gatherings can become more challenging to plan and prepare.
But you'd be surprised how many Thanksgiving classics can be prepared gluten free: roasted turkey, cornbread stuffing, sweet potatoes, squash, cranberries and green bean casserole for starters. Whether you're a gluten-free guest looking to go easy on the chef, or a gracious host aiming for a delicious dining experience for the entire table, you'll give thanks for the tips below. No one will be the wiser.
Plan a Mindful Menu
Gluten is found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye and triticale, which is a hybrid of wheat and rye. Before planning your menu, do some research and ask your gluten-free guests about their likes and dislikes. (Not every guest is on board with gluten-free bread substitutes.) Armed with a little information and an open mind, you'll be well on your way to a successful fête.
Instead of viewing gluten intolerance as a limitation, think of holiday meals as an opportunity to educate yourself and your guests about how good gluten-free foods can be on their own. Dining needn't always imitate a flour-lover's feast!
These foods are safe for gluten-free diets:
- Fruits and vegetables. Any unprocessed fruit or vegetable is gluten free. Potatoes — both white and sweet — are also gluten free.
- Dairy. Milk and most cheeses are gluten free, though blue cheese and some processed cheeses can be made with wheat. Plain yogurt is likewise gluten free, as are many blended varieties; check the labels to be sure.
- Fresh meats, fish, poultry and beans. Check labels on canned and frozen items to make sure they are gluten free.
- Some grains. Gluten-free choices include: rice (white, wild and brown), millet, quinoa, corn (including hominy and cornmeal), amaranth, arrowroot, flax, sorghum, soy, tapioca, teff and buckwheat, as well as gluten-free flour varieties such as rice, soy, corn, potato or bean.
- Certain grains such as oats can be contaminated with wheat during growing and processing. Many gluten-free folks thus avoid oats unless specifically labeled as gluten free.
Shop Selectively
Navigating the grocery-store aisles is daunting enough during the holidays, but you'll want to factor in extra time to peruse labels. Consult these shopping tips before heading out and consider inviting a gluten-free friend or family member to tag along as a tutor.
In general, avoid foods containing the following, unless they're labeled as safe. Pay extra attention to such items as beer, bread, crackers, gravy, salad dressing, condiments and sauces, snack foods, spice mixes and vegetables in sauce:
- Wheat and wheat flour (wheat, durum wheat, semolina wheat, kamut, spelt wheat, emmer, einkorn, faro, triticale wheat, farina, graham, gluten, wheat germ, wheat bran, wheat starch)
- Rye
- Barley
- Oats
- Bulgur
- Imported foods labeled "gluten free" (not held to U.S. standards)
- Malt extract, barley malt or malt flavoring
- Dextrin and maltodextrin (may contain wheat)
- "Natural flavor" (may contain wheat)
- Soy sauce or teriyaki sauce (may contain wheat)
Take Care When Cooking
Before readying the feast, follow these tips to make sure you are prepared to eliminate cross-contamination of prep tools and cutting boards. Even trace amounts of gluten can be catastrophic for someone with celiac disease. If you're considering a buffet, know that those with gluten sensitivities will be concerned about which foods contain gluten and their proximity to gluten-free items. If some of your spread does contain gluten, make place cards denoting which foods are gluten free. If you anticipate serving gluten-free guests on a regular basis, it might be worth it to purchase separate cookware or serving utensils for that purpose.
With this in mind, here are 7 gluten-free and Thanksgiving-appropriate recipes to get you started:

A Grand Slam tournament is more a marathon than a sprint and the 'slow-and-steady approach' to the challenges ahead tends to win the day.
Many a young gun has shown flashes of brilliance and chutzpah to cause a bit of an upset in an early round only to crash and burn in the very next match. That has never been Agnieszka Radwanska's way.
Poland's favourite daughter picked her way carefully through the wreckage of Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova's game on Saturday and emerged triumphant on the other side to take her place in the fourth round 5-7 6-2 6-2.
It was not easy, it was anything but straightforward, but slowly, carefully, and with the minimum of fuss, Radwanska moved on.
It is hard to work out exactly what it is that Radwanska does that makes her so successful (13 career titles won, a Wimbledon final reached and a place in the world's top five secured) and it is best to focus on what she doesn't do: she doesn't make mistakes. She is not particularly powerful, she is not startlingly quick but she reads the game like a book, anticipates well and hits every shot with precision and placement. In short, she is the direct opposite to Pavlyuchenkova.
The Russian has made the headlines in the past, knocking down top names at big events and setting herself up as the next big thing to hit women's tennis. And then she slides into another trough, changes her coach (at the moment she is working with her dad and her brother but that may change in the future) and disappears from view for a while.
Saturday looked like it was going to be a day for headlines as she edged out the first set but it was not to be. The only headlines Pavlyuchenkova was going to make was for suffering a fit of the vapours (she had the doctor on to check her blood pressure in the second set and went off for a break before the start of the third) – and it was not even hot out there.
Then again, she had cause to feel a bit faint. She had been happily clattering winners and unsettling the Polish metronome with a combination of thunderbolts and walloping misses, a tactic that had given her a lead of a set and a break. And then Radwanska slowly and quietly came back in that understated way of hers.
The world No.5 could not compete with her rival on the winners front, but she did not have to. For all that Pavlyuchenkova racked up (39 belters), she also amassed 49 unforced errors and that is never a good combo. On the other side of the net, Radwanska was doing nothing flashy (only 25 winners spread over a two hour and 15 minute match) but there were only 19 fluffs. And only three in the third set. There was nothing Pavlyuchenkova could do to match that.
"The first set was very tight," Radwanska said. "I had a lot of chances but I couldn't win it. I'm so pleased I played better in the second set. Now I'm in the fourth round, everybody will be playing good tennis. Unfortunately."
But it never really matters what everyone else is doing – Radwanska just keeps chipping away, slowly and steadily. Her Australian Open marathon has barely got started yet.

Mandela, 94, has been hospitalized since June 8 for what the South African government said was a recurring lung infection.
Obama said Mandela has been an inspiration to him. He said that Mandela's story of imprisonment and emergence as an iconic figure of reconciliation has given him a sense of what is possible when "righteous people, people of good will work together for a larger cause."
He calls Mandela a personal hero.
Obama spoke during a press conference in Dakar with Senegalese President Macky Sall. He was scheduled to travel to South Africa on Friday.

It's been a wait and see approach for Gadsden County residents who've been left without medical help since the hospital and the local clinic in Gretna closed its doors.
Charles Grimes, a Gadsden County resident, said, "It's sad because we need a clinic and a hospital. People need medical help, need to travel a long way just to go to the doctor and get seen or whatever; it's a sad situation. We need the hospital to be reopened back for the community."
County officials are hearing the message loud and clear and they've been working diligently to provide quality care to Gadsden County residents, but they had to wait on the bankruptcy court to get the go-ahead.
County Manager Marlon Brown said, "The judge has allowed us the ability to get the license transferred to the county. The order has not been released and signed in terms of the actual details. What's in the order, we don't know at this time, but we know the license will be transferred to the county."
A hospital that now sits vacant and abandoned is waiting for county officials to find some way to breathe life into the establishment.
The urgent care facility is a priority for county officials. It's an opportunity to get residents medical care.
County officials are working with legislators to see if they can find funding to reopen the clinic in Gretna.

Artax - Fastest Horse in the World
of hat
Price: $19.95
Out Of Stock
How to Order
A superior two year old, Artax began his career in spectacular
fashion breaking his maiden by over 9 lengths going a mile
and a sixteenth. Trained by Wayne Lukas protege, Randy Bradshaw,
Bradshaw was convinced he had a two-turn Classic prospect
in Artax. Never off the board at two, Artax ran second in
the Grade 1 mile and a sixteenth Hollywood Futurity to Real
Quiet. It is interesting to note that the race contained
two eventual Eclipse award winners in Artax and Real Quiet.
Real Quiet's Beyer speed figure in the Hollywood Futurity
was the highest two year old Beyer of any Kentucky Derby
winner to date.
As a three year old, Artax factored prominently into the
Classic picture. In the 1 1/16th mile Santa Catalina Stakes
(G3), Artax dominated with a 5 and a half length victory
over Sounvenir Copy and Ladies Din. In the West Coast Derby
prep, the San Felipe Stakes (G2) at Santa Anita, Artax turned
the tables and defeated eventual Kentucky Derby Champion
Real Quiet. Artax's time for the mile and a sixteenth was
an impressive 1:41 and change. In the final west coast Derby
prep, the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby, Artax ran third to
Kentucky Derby favorite Indian Charlie and to Kentucky Derby
winner Real Quiet. Artax ended his three year old campaign
with a runner-up performance in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes,
defeating millionaire Event of the Year.
An Eclipse Champion Sprinter, at 4, Artax changed trainers
and changed running styles. He went from a solid Classic
two-turn horse to one of the best sprinters of all time.
A winner of 3 Grade 1 sprints at 4, Artax captured the Breeders'
Cup Sprint (G1), the Vosburgh (G1) and the Carter (G1).
His four year old campaign saw him in competition with the
best sprinters of his generation including Kona Gold, Affirmed
Success, Yes It's True, Big Jag, Stravinsky, Forestry, Intidab,
etc.. Artax's track records put his performances into an
historical perspective, in essence competing against three
of the fastest sprinters of all time, namely, Mr. Prospector,
Dr. Fager and Groovy. In the Breeders' Cup Sprint, Artax
equalled Mr. Prospector's 27 year old track record of 1:07
4/5ths for 6 furlongs. In the Carter, he broke Dr. Fager's
32 year old track record for 7 furlongs, stopping the clock
in 1:20 flat. Artax's record breaking performance in the
Forest Hills, (6f - 1:07 3/5) prompted track announcer Tom
Durkin to proclaim "he's faster than Groovy".
Mr. Prospector, Dr. Fager and Groovy, three of the most
acclaimed sprinters of modern times - now are joined in
the annals of racing history by Eclipse Champion Artax.

Your Opinion: Pick up curbside yard waste
Tuesday, November 27, 2012
Dear Editor:
'Tis the season to be burning, and, yes, it does fill the air with smoke and all sorts of other noxious stuff.
Personally, I don't consider unrolling the hose all the way to the back of the yard, inhaling smoke and fumes, standing around in the (usually) cold to watch and refill the burn barrel, and having to launder every stitch I had on (including the jacket) and take a shower immediately afterward to get rid of the stench, as a fun way to spend a day, and I don't know anybody who does.
It's true there is a free yard waste disposal site available to city residents. If you don't know where it is you can get that information from the city's web site (providing you have the Internet). When you get the web page up, look under NEWS (Why there, I have no idea) and you can find yard waste drop off. Once there It gives you the hours and days and directions on how to get there. It even gives you the option to print out a map and a phone number to call for more information. For you who don't have the Internet, that number is (573) 634-6409. Besides their weekday hours they are also open all day Saturday and one-half a day on Sunday.
However, there are some people who don't have pick ups or large SUVs to enable them to transport lots of leaves to the site. Some folks, just have itty bitty cars, and some have no vehicle at all.
I remember the questionnaires that went around (we filled them out) before the city went to curb side recycling. I'm pretty sure they referred also to roadside yard waste pickup. I certainly had the impression that was a consideration. Yet, when we were finally told about the approved contract, yard waste was not included.
Why can't we have yard waste pickup, say, once a month, at least during the months of October and November when the leaves are raining down?
I, for one, will oppose any total ban on burning until such an option exists

Too bad I live in the middle of nowhere :(
pretty good deal though. don't think i've ever used sparkle brand before. how "nice" are they? (while i'm a bargain/generic shopper for most things, i'm generally willing to spend more on paper towels because the cheap ones just fall apart.)

By Georgette Pierre
Word in Hollywood is that Lil Wayne is supposed to be starring in a new Disney/Pixar animation called "The Good Dinosaurs," a film in which an asteroid missed Earth and dinosaurs were never wiped off the planet. With him already being animated, this new role wasn't hard to picture, but MTV News confirmed with Wayne's management team that the rumors were not true.
Last year Wayne's Young Money frontrunners Drake and Nicki Minaj were featured in "Ice Age 4," but it's not his time yet. And even though we may not see Weezy on the big screen right now, he does have plans to transition out of music after the release of Tha Carter V. When he sat down with MTV News' Sway Calloway back in November, he mentioned his ideal profession would be sports related. "I'd be a skater/sports analyst," he said. "My day job will probably be sports analyst and I'll skate all night instead of being in the studio all night."
Sports analyst Weezy does have a nice ring to it.
In addition to owning a skate-inspired clothing line, Trukfit, and building skate parks in New Orleans and Miami, the YMCMB boss also showed off his new face tattoo this week. The tattoo read "Baked" in block letters and looked very similar to the logo of Baker, a manufacturer of skateboard decks.

The ASL Club is a vibrant student organization who enjoys working with the Deaf community to create awareness of Deaf Culture and American Sign Language! One of the first steps in breaking down walls of oppression or discrimination is to create awareness. Many people have few experiences with a person from the Deaf community and often view deafness as a disability. The Club, with support from the Deaf Community spreads awareness and allows people to realize that Deaf individuals are highly successful just like any hearing person.

How to Make a Simple Solar Viewer
It is never safe to look directly at the Sun. Astronomers use various techniques to overcome this, but even if you don't own a telescope, you can safely view an image of the Sun by making a simple solar viewer. Basically, this viewer consists of two parts, a projector and a screen, and is very easy to make and use.
1Cut a 2" (50mm) square out of the center of a paper or plastic foam plate (though any easy to cut, fairly opaque object will do).
2Take a 3" (76mm) square of aluminum foil and tape it over the square cutout along the edges.
3Using a toothpick, carefully poke as round a hole possible in the center of the foil. Make sure that the hole is no larger in diameter than the toothpick. The viewer is now ready to use.
4Take another plate (or any other white colored surface) and hold it lined up with the projector. This is the screen. They should be lined up so that the shadow of the projector covers the screen. A small image of the Sun is projected onto the screen through the pinhole. You should be facing your back to the sun, with the screen in front of you. An inverted image of the sun will show on the screen, through the pinhole.

- The image of the Sun will be small, but you can adjust the size of this image by moving the projector back and forth. Moving the viewer away from the screen will make the image larger.
- Never look directly at the Sun!

"I'm just Levi."
Sheridan's Levi Maes is a humble young man. His high school résumé is full of accomplishments. He is the class president, president of the Latino Club and — oh, yes — a state champion in wrestling.
"It's just a part of me," he said.
Friday night at the Pepsi Center, the impressive senior moved one step closer to changing his credentials to say two-time Class 3A state champion. Maes (46-2) avenged a Top of the Rockies defeat to Holy Family's Julian Prieto, pinning his friend in 5 minutes, 11 seconds at 120 pounds to advance to Saturday's championship match.
Maes will defend his title against Alamosa's Neff Malouff.
Against Prieto, who beat him 2-1 last month at Centaurus' prestigious tournament, Maes didn't get any separation until late in the second period.
A takedown and three back points gave him a comfortable 13-5 lead going into the third period.
"I'm glad I got him again," Maes said. "He's a great wrestler. He's awesome."
Sheridan coach Frank Contreraz said Maes and the graduated Luis Gurule have helped to put the Rams' wrestling program on the map.
"The kids are feeding off it and our whole wrestling team is feeding off it," said Contreraz, who came to the school eight years ago. "We've all come together as a family and we represent Sheridan with a lot of pride.
"The whole community has come together around Levi and it is something to be proud of."
The Rams brought four wrestlers to the state tournament, but Contreraz also brought six members of Sheridan's junior program — which Levi was a part of — to take it all in and cheer for Maes, who has become the face of the program.
"Levi and Luis have built this up and it's starting to roll now," said Contreraz, who was able to sit back and watch his protégé work his magic.
Maes is one of six returning 3A state champs. Five of them — Micah Keys (Centauri), Caleb Copeland (Bennett), Dalton Shoop (Eaton), Raul Rios (Platte Valley) and Maes — will be wrestling for another state title Saturday. Dolores Huerta's Jared Maestas lost in the quarterfinals.
"I've got to go out there and redo it," Maes said. "The kids call me state champ, but really, I'm just Levi."
Alamosa, with Gary Ramstetter in search of his 10th team state title as a coach and third in a row, will carry the lead in team points into Saturday night.

Class 3A highlights
Saint Aaron. Jefferson's Aaron Cisneros moved one step closer to winning a title Friday night and becoming the school's first state wrestling champion. Cisneros pinned Fort Lupton's Dakota Macy in 3 minutes, 41 seconds. He will face Holy Family's Joseph Prieto in the finals.
Hot Bulldog. Hotchkiss Jesse Head picked the right time to peak. The Bulldogs senior has pinned his way to the finals, including a 1:05 pin of defending state champion Jared Maetas in the morning quarterfinals. In the semis, he needed only 36 seconds to defeat Sterling sophomore Joel Contreras.
Most heated championship final. How about at 182 pounds? San Luis Valley bragging rights will be on the line when Jareb Aziz of Centauri takes on Alamosa's Gunner Robinson. In what might have been the most attended dual in the state this year, Aziz beat Robinson by decision.

Vatican City, 19 February 2014: Pope Francis held his weekly general audience on Wednesday, where he delivered a catechesis on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The public meeting is an opportunity for pilgrims and tourists visiting Rome to see the Pope and hear him speak, and also to receive his blessing. The general audience of February 19 was held in the open, in Rome's St. Peter's Square. It began with aides reading a passage from the Gospel of St. Mathew, in several languages.Listen: Based on the scripture passage, Pope Francis delivered his main discourse in Italian - summaries of which were read out by aides in various languages, including in English. But first, the aide greeted the Pope on behalf of the English-speaking pilgrims.Listen: … Dear Brothers and Sisters: Through the Sacraments of Initiation, we receive new life in Christ. This life we carry in earthen vessels, however, and we still experience temptations, suffering, and death. Because of sin, we can even lose this new life. Jesus therefore willed that the Church continue his works of salvation for her members, in particular through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, which flows from the Paschal Mystery. The forgiveness we receive is not the result of our own efforts, but is the gift of the Holy Spirit reconciling us to God and to each other. While the celebration of the Sacrament is personal, it is rooted in the community of the Church, in which the Holy Spirit is present, uniting us all in Jesus Christ. When confessing our sins then, we confess to the priest who represents not only God but also the community of the Church that accompanies us on the path of conversion. Though this Sacrament is a great treasure, we may be tempted to dismiss it, perhaps due to laziness or embarrassment, or because of a diminishing sense of sin and its effects. Too often, we see ourselves as the centre and measure of all things, and our lives can go adrift. The Sacrament of Reconciliation calls us back to God, and embraces us with his infinite mercy and joy. May we allow his love to renew us as his children and to reconcile us with him, with ourselves, and with one another.Pope Francis then greeted the English-speaking pilgrims in Italian.Listen: ... I offer an affectionate greeting to all the English-speaking pilgrims and visitors present at today's Audience, including those from England, Norway, Nigeria, Japan and the United States. May your visit to the Eternal City renew and deepen your love for Jesus Christ and his Church. God bless you all!Papal Blessing

Digital Exclusion heatmap.
Go ON UK believes in the transformative power of technology to improve the prospects of individuals, families, communities and organisations. Which is why we are committed to eradicating digital exclusion and ensuring that everyone in the UK has the motivation and skills needed to benefit and prosper from the internet today and in the future.
Technology plays a vital part in our everyday life. But for those people and organisations without Basic Digital Skills, the benefits of the internet that we may take for granted remain locked away and out of reach.
Digital capability is an essential skill for everyone. It's vital that we address the UK's lack of Basic Digital Skills in order to sustain economic growth, productivity and social mobility.
We actively seek out and work with partners across the public, private and voluntary sectors to identify opportunities and develop programmes that improve Basic Digital Skills among people and organisations.
By defining Basic Digital Skills we can ensure we are helping everyone in the UK achieve the same minimum standard of digital capability.
The Go ON UK Digital Exclusion Heatmap helps you to identify the likelihood of digital exclusion in your local area so you can focus efforts where it is needed most.
Go ON Local provides organisations with best practice advice, tools and collaboration opportunities on how to improve local levels of Basic Digital Skills.
We've developed a National Partner programme to enable more organisations to work with us and help accelerate Basic Digital Skills across the UK.
The Digital Skills Charter allows individuals and organisations to pledge their support for improving Basic Digital Skills. You can commit to improving digital services for your customers or help your colleagues and community achieve the Basic Digital Skills they need. By signing up to the Charter, and making your commitments public, you can inspire and motivate others to sign up and play their part.
We're running a 12-month pilot in London Borough of Lewisham to test, learn and share new ways of helping local people and organisations develop their digital skills.
New national digital skills programme, One Digital, launches today. Emma Weston, its Programme Director, and Chief Executive at Digital Unite, tells us more.
Phil Cobley, Regional Cyber Project Coordinator for the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit, explains why we must work together to stay safe online, and how easy that truly can be.

Iphone 5
I just got an Iphone 5 and didn't realize that there was only one slot for a sim card and Verizon is using it. If I want to use the phone overseas, I have to remove that sim card. If anyone here has used this phone overseas--remember, it's different than previous iphone models: 1) Have you had trouble finding the new size sim card?
2) Did you have any problems removing and replacing the Verizon sim card? The darn thing is so small, I'm concerned about losing it or breaking it.
