For truly epic holidays, it doesn't get any more iconic than Italy. And few places embody the image of rolling hillsides, incredible food and classic art as Tuscany. After a stay here, you won't soon forget the feel of warm sun on your shoulders at the edge of the Tyrrhenian Sea, or pelting your travelling companions with olives as you enjoy a fine chianti from one of the region's many vineyards. (We're sure it'll be a treasured memory for them as well.)
You're here to relax and forget all about work. That starts the moment you check into your accommodation in Tuscany. After that, head out to get your dose of culture by viewing the work of Old World masters at Uffizi Gallery and the Leonardo DaVinci Museum. Pretend to hold up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Indulge in authentic Tuscan cuisine, like rich, juicy Bistecca alla Fiorentina or sweet, chestnut-flavoured Castagnaccio. Don't forget to practice your accent, so you can order like a true Italian. It'll come in handy if you decide to extend your trip to the capital city. Interested? Check out our Florence accommodation and thank us later.
Speaking of the city, travellers coming in to the region usually start with a trip to Florence, landing at Airport Amerigo Vespucci, or another major city, like Rome or Milan. Wotif's awesome car hire deals make it easy for you to take the open road from there to your Tuscany accommodation. Or catch a train for a restful trip and watch the countryside go by.
Once you're here, one of the best ways to see the area is via bus. We can help you book a tour, so you're able to get as much in on your trip as possible. Wotif's online system makes it easy to figure out where to stay in Tuscany on your next getaway.

Pecan Crusted Crab Cakes
10 minutes
1/3 cup pecans
1- 1/2" slice firm sour dough bread, torn into pieces
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 egg yolk
8 ounces (1/2 pound) lump crab meat
1 tablespoon minced chives
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
How to make it
Place pecans and torn bread in a food processor. Pulse until pecans are finely chopped and bread is crumbly.
In a medium bowl combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard and egg yolk; blend well. Add crab and chives; stir gently to mix, so not to break up crab meat to much. Stir in just enough of pecan-bread crumbs to help bind the mixture but not to take away from the crab,
Place remaining crumbs on a plate. Form crab mixture into 4 cakes, about 3 inches in diameter. Dredge crab cakes in crumbs, pressing gently just to help mixture adhere.
In a medium skillet, melt butter over a medium-low heat. Add crab cakes, for about 2-3 minutes , turn over once, and cook second side about 2 minutes, until they are hot in center and nicely browned on both sides.

It has been a while since I have posted and created for my BeFruiTFuL KReaTioNS followers.
There are a few things I have been thinking about making into patterns for this Halloween Season. Which is upon us now.
I would love feedback if you are interested in me making these into patterns for you to use for your own use or to make for sale.
My Witches boots. These are fun needle punch boots that you can display. They can hang any where and have a pocket inside. I put pip berries in mine.
These are my Jack-O-Lanterns that can be used year after year.
The top one is my gothic Jack-O-Lantern below that are many others that I have created.

Great consumer laptop with HD display
This review is from: SONY Laptop VAIO SVS15113FXB Intel Core i5 3210M (2.50 GHz) 6 GB Memory 640GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE 15.5" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: I love this laptop, using it for personal reasons, mainly internet, video, games and hobbyist software dev projects. I believe this was one of the last Windows 7 PCs that Sony offered, that and the fact the display resolution is 1920x1080, which is apparently rare for most of the other major brands. I didn't want to have anything to do with Windows 8. I've never had any noticeable performance issues despite just the Core i5 processor and only 6 GB memory. It is helped by the nVidia GeForce graphics chip, I've had no trouble playing my old favorite FPS games and newer indie games.
Cons: Built in speakers are sort of weak, not great volume. Ok with head phones or external speakers. The CD/DVD slot drive makes a horrible loading sounds when reading for any inserted disc, whether or not one is there, it tends to do this on opening the laptop.
Other Thoughts: I know that other reviewers mentioned bloat ware. I have removed a fair share of the included software, however I did keep most of the Sony VAIO specific software and utilities which include some useful software updaters, performance and system diagnostic utilities, which connect to the Sony support site. They also have some actually useful content creation software that is bundled with the PC, for instance I have used their Sound Forge Audio editing tools for some projects(allowed me to convert some recordings made in Windows Media Audio files to MP3). They also include a Video editor, a DVD creator and Music Studio. I think these all could be useful for the right person and a nice bonus.

All around the best laptop I've owned to date!
This review is from: SONY Laptop VAIO SVS15113FXB Intel Core i5 3210M (2.50 GHz) 6 GB Memory 640GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE 15.5" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: Excellent specs, excellent build quality, the keyboard is very slick and responsive, If you've never owned a 15" laptop before typing with the big trackpad will take some getting used to, but my previous laptop was a 15" as well so I'm already adjusted to it! The multitouch trackpad is so amazing, can't live without it. Excellent battery life, the backlight automatically adjusts brightness based on ambient lighting! The backlit keyboard is a big plus. Has an optical drive but doesn't need it--can be disabled in BIOS. The body is made of magnesium alloy so it's very lightweight and has a great feel to it! Easy access to replace the HDD and RAM if necessary (I replaced the HDD with a Vertex 3 SSD--see cons for more info). Runs very cool and quiet (once formatted and has an SSD). The screen is beautiful!
Cons: Needs a fresh format out the the box--there's a lot of preinstalled bloatware and trial software that cripples the laptop. Also, I put an OCZ Vertex 3 in it, (I looked everywhere online to find out if this laptop has SATA 3 or SATA 2, but couldn't find anything, so upon replacing the 5400RPM 640GB HHD with the Vertex 3, I was sad to find it's SATA 2 :/) Nonetheless, with the money you're saving from not buying a Macbook Air or Pro, you can definitely justify ordering an SSD to replace the HDD with. Lastly, I read everywhere that the speakers are really weak--I thought I wouldn't have minded or noticed since I always wear a headset when working on my laptops, but I was actually very surprised at how weak the built in speakers are, my samsung galaxy s 3 can produce more noise ha!
Other Thoughts: Some people have a preference of where the Fn (function key) is placed in conjunction with the control key (Ctrl), my previous laptop had the same layout of Ctrl then Fn, so I'm happy with that, also, people tend to forget that getting a 15" means you're probably going to get a Num pad as well, which is something I love.

Broke, out of the Box
This review is from: SONY Laptop VAIO SVS15113FXB Intel Core i5 3210M (2.50 GHz) 6 GB Memory 640GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE 15.5" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: Dont know. looks nice.
Cons: slot load DVD\CDROM does not work.
Other Thoughts: couldn't be more dissapointed, going back to Dell

Super Sleek!!
This review is from: SONY Laptop VAIO SVS15113FXB Intel Core i5 3210M (2.50 GHz) 6 GB Memory 640GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE 15.5" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Pros: This computer has pretty much everything thing I'll ever need and more for school. It's really fast, has an amazing display, and on top of that it's really pretty. Another thing I love about this is that it came with Sony's creative software, like Sony Vegas Platinum 11. This thing also seems to run fairly cool for such a fast, thin laptop.
Cons: This is only a little con, bloatware. It's to be expected with every laptop you buy these days and it's not too bad to remove.
Other Thoughts: I'm not at all an Apple fan, but I do really like the touch pad on the MacBook Pro. The touch pad on this laptop is almost identical to an Apple touch pad and it's awesome!

Install Moodle On Ubuntu with Nginx/PHP-fpm
from lighttpd/php-fpm
Moving from a fully-functional lighttpd/php-fpm setup to nginx/php-fpm is fairly easy. The only trick is to pass the right values as fastcgi parameters.
If your current setup requires
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 you should set the
SCRIPT_FILENAME parameter in nginx as follows:
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name$fastcgi_path_info;
Without the above you'll probably have some issues with missing images and css styling.
From scratch
This is a starting guide to install Moodle with Nginx/PHP-fpm/Postgres on the latest Ubuntu LTS 14.04. It is important to take note that Moodle is heavily tested in an Apache2 environment, not in a nginx environment. This document is for people having previously installed a Moodle site and a Ubuntu distribution, and having some basic knowledge of Linux command lines (vim, linux permissions, compiling, etc.).
Nginx 1.4.6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install nginx
mkdir -p /home/nginx/localhost/public
sudo chgrp www-data /home/nginx/localhost/public
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
server {
listen 80;
root /home/nginx/localhost/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
# First attempt to serve request as file
try_files $uri $uri/index.php;
# pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
# NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini
# With php5-fpm:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
Postgres 9.3.5
sudo apt-get install postgresql
Create database user and database see Moodle doc PostgreSQL
Note: if you use postgres do not take PHP 5.3.5, pg_set_client_encoding() will crash with a http 500 error.
sudo apt-get install php5-fpm
sudo apt-get install php5-pgsql
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
sudo apt-get install php5-xmlrpc
sudo apt-get install php5-Intl
sudo service nginx restart
sudo service php5-fpm restart
vim /home/nginx/localhost/public/info.php
Check if the site is available. localhost/info.php
If you get a blank page... check if the following line is in your /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params file:
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
and if not then add it. (credit: serverfault)
PHP 5.5 comes with OPCache. on older versions you might want to use APC:
APC for PHP < 5.5
With APC, Moodle will be a lot faster.
sudo apt-get install php-apc
sudo vim /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini
Add (if not already existing): extension=apc.so
Install Moodle into /home/nginx/localhost/public/. Note that it is recommended to install Git and to get the Moodle files with Git.
Enabling Slash Arguments on Nginx by adding the following line to the "server" section of the Nginx config file:
rewrite ^/moodle/(.*\.php)(/)(.*)$ /moodle/$1?file=/$3 last;
More info stackoverflow
In the Moodle administration, disable 'slash arguments' (http://YOURMOODLESITE/admin/search.php?query=slashargument). Without disabling the 'slash arguments', you may notice that the admin setup page is missing the images and css styling. However, if you turn off slash arguments, then other things won't work, so really someone ought to work out what is wrong here and fix it.
If you cannot access the Admin interface, you can edit the database using a tool like phpMyAdmin.
1. Go to the table labeled 'mdl_config'
2. Browse to line 281 (line 309 in 2.5), and change the value of 'slasharguments' from 1 to 0
3. Use Control-F5 to fully refresh the setup page.
Workaround if the above steps don't work:
1. Empty the database and try the command line installation.
cd /var/www/YOURMOODLESITE/public/moodle
php /admin/cli/install.php
Enabling PHP errors in php.ini will help you diagnose any errors that may arise.
Use if you ran the cli install.php as root: chown www-data:www-data config.php
2. Go to your Moodle site and log in. It will ask you to fill in your email address, City and Country. Save the changes.
3. Go to http://YOURMOODLESITE/admin/search.php?query=slashargument and uncheck "Use slash arguments"
Note: some version of Internet Explorer will display the page CSS with slash arguments on, while Firefox, Chrome and IE10 will not.
More to do
- Follow the Moodle security page guidelines
- Secure SSH (see this slicehost debian setup page)
- Enable SSL (you can use to install a free SSL certificate with startSSL)
- Setup firewall (ubuntu documentation)
- Install SMTP server (Ubuntu documentation with working main.cf, Linode documentation, documentation about MX-record)
There are still a lot more to do (setting up your domain name, establishing a maintenance plan, performance tweaking, security testing...). Be patient and have fun.

Good CookiesPosted on 07 / 28 / 2007
I like this store because they have lots of good vegan food and they have delicious vegan chocolate chip cookies. There is also a huge salad bar, and they have a deli, but I am not too sure on the vegan options there. They used to have an awesome cake called Son of Mexispelt but for some reason that disappeared :(
Cons: Sandwich bar downsized, No more chocolate cake, Slightly Pricey

Hi gals! My son got off his g-tube after 2 years and we have some supplies left over. I'd be more than happy to mail these (some or all) to anyone who needs them. All items except for the tape are sealed. They are less than 1 yr old and kept in a pet-free, smoke-free home at proper temperature conditions. All I ask is that you paypal me shipping costs after you receive the items (I can ship the cheapest method if that works for you).
3 Kimberly-Clark Mic-Key Extension Set with Secur-Lok Right Angle Connector and 2 Port Y and Clamp 24''
143 60mL ReliaMed Flat Top Piston Irrigation syringes (the same as catheter tip syringes, great for blenderized diets)
228 BD 20 mL luer-lok tip syringes
3 rolls of 3M Durapore tape
1 roll of Curad Latex Free tape
about 100 Kendall Excilon IV Sponges
Please let me know if any of this stuff could be useful to you!!

Russian security services monitored Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev during a five month visit he made to the North Caucasus region of Dagestan in 2011-2012, but found no reason to arrest him, a security source told AFP Monday.
The older of the two Tsarnaev brothers suspected of setting off the Boston marathon bombs, 26-year-old Tamerlan was shot and killed Friday by US police, while his younger brother Dzhokhar was wounded and is in custody.
Tsarnaev travelled to Russia's southern region of Dagestan, where he had previously lived, in late 2011, staying for a total of five months and 13 days, said a security source involved in tracking extremist activity in the region.
"Security services came across Tamerlan four times" in course of his visit, he told AFP.
"They were monitoring another young man, suspected of connections with the Islamist insurgency, and Tamerlan was seen with him."
"But then the young man disappeared from view of the security services, and Tamerlan was no longer seen either," the source added. In the months before he left Dagestan, "nothing was seen for which he could be detained or charged."
US police want to question the surviving younger brother Dzhokhar, a 19-year-old naturalised US citizen, whose injuries make him unable to speak. But reports have suggested that Tamerlan was the driving force in the attack.
No other suspects linked to the brothers, who apparently had more bombs in their arsenal when they were captured, have yet been announced.
An accomplished amateur boxer in Boston, Tamerlan Tsarnaev did not join any boxing club while in Dagestan, where the sport is massively popular, a spokesman for the Russian boxing federation told RIA Novosti news agency.
While in Russia he also applied for a new passport, to replace one he allegedly lost in Boston, a local migration service official told Russian news agencies after finding that the document was still waiting to be picked up.
The Tsarnaev family, which has relatives in both Chechnya and Dagestan, where the brothers' mother is from, was well-liked by neighbours and relatives.
Relatives told AFP in the Dagestan capital of Makhachkala that they can hardly believe that the boys would commit a horrible crime.
"I don't believe that children of such parents could do such a thing," said their elderly neighbour Liza, describing the young men's father Anzor as someone who always helped her out.
The suspects' parents have now fled their apartment to avoid media attention.
Since it was known that Tamerlan came from the United States, Russia asked the FBI for information about him, once at the end of 2011, and once several months after he left, in November 2012, the security source said.
The FBI said Friday that a request from an unidentified foreign government for information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev came as he was "prepared to leave the United States for travel to the country's region to join unspecified underground groups."
Some US lawmakers allege that it was Tamerlan's trip to Russia that ultimately led to last week's events, and questioned why the FBI did not pay more attention to the suspect after his return.
Dagestan is the most restive of the North Caucasus regions, a mountainous territory in the south with a mostly Muslim population and an ongoing Islamist, anti-Kremlin insurgency.
However the local branch of the main Caucasus Islamist group Caucasus Emirate denied on the weekend that it had any involvement in the Boston blasts, which killed three people and wounded 180.
"We are only fighting Russia, which is not only responsible for the occupation of the Caucasus, but also for monstrous crimes against Muslims," the militants said in a statement posted on the website Kavkazcenter.com

Text-Message Scandal Rocks Detroit Mayor's Office
The office of Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is reeling following publication of a series of e-mails between him and his chief of staff, Christine Beatty. The messages suggest that the pair lied under oath last year in denying they were having an affair. Beatty is resigning. Their testimony last summer was part of a lawsuit by two police officers who claimed they lost their jobs because they investigated whether Kilpatrick used his security officers to cover up extramarital affairs.
Noah Ovshinsky reports from member station WDET in Detroit.

School has had a couple of fire drills.� Now DS has anxiety about it and constantly says "no fire drill" everyday on the way to school.� And, they told me at school he was fixiated on the alarm/light - that he wasn't participating in activities.� So, they put up a divider that they use for a timeout and explained if he wasn't going to participate that he was in 'timeout' so to speak.� I think they tried to talk to him about it at first.� They said it's a part of life and he just needs to get use to it.
On one hand I understand, we'll see how it goes.� But, on the other hand if it's getting in the way of being social and participating in school.� I'm concerned about that and wondering if there is something I should be asking school to do.
I have tried to explain that fire drills are loud and it's okay and it means that you go outside.� I don't think he quite understands - he just knows it's loud and has a flashing light and 'might' go off at any time.� Therefore, he has anxiety.� I don't know if trying to explain it makes it worse or not.
Do I just need to ride it out?

With nothing major on the domestic economic calendar today,
stocks will likely get a lift from the sharp drop in Italian
government bond yields. But trading volumes are expected to remain
light due to seasonal factors.
Italy sold €9 billion of 6-month Treasury bills at a 3.25%
yield, roughly half of what the country had to pay for the same
maturity in last month's auction. Demand was also a lot stronger
than a month ago. Yields on Italian government bonds have come down
in the secondary market following the successful auction, though
not as dramatically. This was the first major bond auction since
last week's major liquidity operation by the European Central
The improved liquidity position of Euro-zone banks as a result
of the ECB action was expected to encourage them to operate more
actively in the government bond auction. Today's successful Italian
bond auction appears to bear those expectations out. It will be
interesting to see if this improving trend will remain in place in
another bond auction scheduled for Thursday.

Has America Fallen Out Of Love With Gas-Gulping Pickup Trucks?
The biggest car market in America is California, and the top-selling car in California is now the Toyota Prius hybrid. Does this mean America has fallen out of love with the pickup truck that has dominated U.S. automobile sales since Reagan first made "living like Southerners who need a pickup truck" the keystone of his domestic policy? Maybe!
The F-series Ford pickup has been the best-selling American "car" since Reagan was president. The sales of Ford pickups even increased by 10% in 2012, because the recovery of the housing market allowed housing industry workers to replace their old pickups. We have a very weird (and completely unsustainable) economy in this country.
But in the nation's most populous state that also has the highest gasoline prices and (in Southern California) lousy air quality and terrible commute times, the Toyota Prius hybrid was the top-selling automobile in 2012. It's the first time a hybrid has topped the new-car sales list in America. Nationwide, sales of large cars are down by an incredible 87%, while nationwide sales of the Prius are up by 74%. Sales of pure-electric cars are still small, but rising fast enough that in seven years, the U.S. will have the world's largest market for EV sales.

David Sedaris plays in the snow with his sisters.
It all sounds so normal, doesn't it?
In his newest collection of essays, David Sedaris lifts the corner of ordinary life, revealing the absurdity teeming below its surface. His world is alive with obscure desires and hidden motives - a world where forgiveness is automatic and an argument can be the highest form of love. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is another unforgettable collection from one of the wittiest and most original writers at work today.

Sedaris finds seam-splitting humor in the fabric of life
On a recent visit to friends who have a 14-month-old child, David Sedaris marveled at the attention garnered by one tiny little being. "When you go to their house, everything is about the baby," says the best-selling author with the inimitable nasal voice. "The baby eats, and you watch the baby eat, then you watch the baby knock the telephone off the table." While Sedaris says he and his five siblings were by no means neglected, their early years were hardly the 24-hour-a-day tactile experience that seems de rigueur today. "Sure we were fed," he says, "but we weren't followed around from room to room and congratulated for existing."
These days, there's no shortage of praise for the National Public Radio humorist who has spun his Greek-American family's hang-ups into pure comic gold. This month, fans can rejoice in the release of Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, which includes essays that originally appeared in Esquire, The New Yorker and on NPR's "This American Life." As in his previous collections, Naked, Barrel Fever, Holidays on Ice and Me Talk Pretty One Day, Sedaris' tales crackle with the quirkiness that has become his cachet.
Though Sedaris, 47, may be inclined to embellish, the characters featured in his stories are very real: his sister Tiffany Dumpster-dives for frozen turkeys, then cooks and eats them; and his mercurial late mother once locked her children out of the house on a snowy winter day because she wanted to be alone. Also in the spotlight is sister Amy, a popular actress and brilliant mimic who has collaborated with her brother on numerous stage plays. "My family isn't really all that different from anyone else's," says Sedaris in a phone conversation from his London flat. Then, pausing to reconsider, he adds, "Well, maybe they're a bit more entertaining."
Sedaris profits from his family members' peculiarities, but he is also sensitive to their feelings. When his sister Gretchen told him she felt uncomfortable being the focus of some of his stories, he respected her wishes, and now only mentions her in passing. He backed out of a lucrative movie deal for Me Talk Pretty One Day because he didn't like the idea of someone else handling material about his family. Yet the temptation to tap into a seemingly endless font of freakish behavior is nearly irresistible, says Sedaris, and his family knows it. "My sister Lisa now prefaces every story with: 'You can't repeat this to anyone,' says Sedaris. "And I'm trying to earn her trust."
Brother Paul Sedaris, who operates a North Carolina-based floor sanding business, is one family member who clearly relishes the attention. And he gets plenty of it. "I never imagined that people would phone him at two in the morning and say, 'Do the rooster, do the rooster,' " says Sedaris, referring to the verbal tirade his 5-foot-4-inch brother unleashes in self defense, rendered so memorably in the Me Talk Pretty One Day essay, "Don't Kill the Rooster." For brother Paul, the publicity makes dollarsand sense. "People who've heard me talk about Paul now hire him to sand their floors," says Sedaris.
The new book's title, which publisher Little, Brown describes as "willfully enigmatic," has no significance at all, says Sedaris. In fact, he says, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim sounds like something really boring you'd find in the sewing department of a store. Regardless of how they interpret the title, readers will find themselves in stitches over Sedaris' delirious accounts, which include a humiliating strip poker game, a pet parrot with a pitch-perfect imitation of a milk steamer and an eyebrow-less nine-year-old neighbor named after an alcoholic drink.
A little more than a decade ago, David Sedaris was an unknown Chicago-based performance artist and house cleaner whose career took a life-altering turn when "This American Life" host Ira Glass attended one of his performances at an area club. "Ira introduced himself," says Sedaris, "and about a year later when I moved to New York, he called me and asked if I had anything Christmas-y." Sedaris submitted "The Santaland Diaries," the unforgettable tale of his experiences working as a Christmas elf at Macy's. Glass produced the piece for "Morning Edition," and the rest, as they say, is history.
"If I hadn't met Ira Glass, I'd still be cleaning houses," says Sedaris, who now delivers lectures and readings to standing room only crowds from San Francisco to St. Paul. "I sure as heck wouldn't be writing my fifth book." Despite his success, Sedaris remains a mass of insecurities. He says introductions loaded with praise just make him nervous. "I'm standing backstage thinking, Oh, don't say that, don't say that," he says. "You're being set up in a way."
Though Sedaris spends large chunks of time touring in the U.S., he lives abroad, dividing his time between London and France (the latter is the site of many of his laugh-out-loud linguistic misadventures in Me Talk Pretty One Day). Those lucky enough to see the humorist in action know that he frequently takes notes while delivering a story, marking where people laugh or don't respond. The feedback helps in the writing and editing process, he says, adding that a story can change significantly over the course of a tour. Audience reactionslike the dismay elicited from a description of submerging an injured rodent in a bucket of water in the new collection's "Nuit of the Living Dead"are often surprising.
"For some reason, you can get on stage and talk about punching your sister in the stomach and nobody bats an eye, but if you talk about pulling the wings off a fly or drowning a mouse, the audience just goes, ohhhhhhhhhh." In truth, what the author covets most is not the giggle, but the gasp ("I love that sound, just an intake of air") prompted by a truly outrageous anecdote. Happily for Sedaris and his fans, life as he knows it has produced a seemingly endless supply.
Allison Block's own family includes a musician who "plays" the armpits and a portly pit bull who has trained his owner to fetch.

The Best Restaurants in Venice, California
April 5, 2013
Updated on October 13, 2015
What do you do after GQ dubs you "The Coolest Block in America"? In the case of Abbot Kinney, you just keep getting cooler. In fact, the hip factor seems to permeate the whole neighborhood. But Venice has always done its own thing. An alternative area since real estate developer Abbot Kinney founded it as the "Venice of America" in 1905, the beach community is distinct for its Italian-inspired canals, the carnival-like Ocean Front Walk and its ever-evolving restaurant scene.
From pioneers like the Rose Café and Joe's, to vanguard restaurants like Tasting Kitchen and Superba Snack Bar, find out more about one of the best dining neighborhoods in L.A.
Joe's Restaurant
Back when Joe's opened in 1991, not only was it the new kid on the block, it was also one of Abbot Kinney's only restaurants, along with Hal's and the late Capri. Chef/owner Joe Miller's resume included stints at L'Orangerie and Patina, but he was ready to go out own his own. When the original Rockenwagner space opened, he seized the opportunity. Over the years, he's watched his little eatery double in size from its original 50 seats, located in what is now the bar and hallway. Miller also witnessed the neighborhood transition from sketchy to buzzworthy, "like what Melrose used to be … the hot, trendy place that's not saturated with Starbucks and Gaps." Joe's menu changes with the seasons; this spring he's added Zuckerman Farms jumbo asparagus with red beet gastrique, herbed yogurt and boquerones. The three-course prix fixe lunch might just be the best deal in town, priced at only $23.
Gjelina slung opens its rustic doors in 2008. In some ways it still feels new, perhaps because the menu is surprisingly large enough to keep offering new dishes to discover, and also because it's still perpetually packed, even on a Monday night. In other ways, it comes across like an old favorite, a true neighborhood restaurant that just happens to be located in a very hip neighborhood. That said, the prices are engaging and encourage repeat visits, with no dish over $30, including the steak. Anchovy and burrata toasts are creamy, compelling and easy to eat without making a mess. Vegetables are also a highlight, like grilled radicchio and charred romanesco. Pizza get its own section of the menu and is a must-order, be it mushrooms and beet greens or nettles with garlic confit. Fortunately, Gjelina now takes dinner reservations, and there's also GTA, short for Gjelina Take Away, right next door.
The Tasting Kitchen
Not long after the abrupt closure of AK, The Tasting Kitchen moved into the gorgeously designed space and took Abbot Kinney by storm. Chef Casey Lane was recruited from Portland and brought some of his Northwestern brethren along with him. The menu is clearly influenced by a Mediterranean mindset—there's a whole section devoted just to pasta—and Lane is adept at both the simple and the surprising. Orders of spaghetti-like tagliarini pasta with fresh seafood and Serrano pepper fly out of the kitchen. An escarole salad accomplishes a compelling dressing without any cream, instead mortaring lemon juice, garlic and anchovies as its base. Spot prawns arrive with the roe still attached, accompanied by uni and artichokes in a basil-based salsa. The maestro behind the bar is Justin Pike, an accomplished mixologist who keeps pushing the envelope, from barrel-aging spirits to cocktail flights and bottle-conditioned beverages.
Willie Jane
Willie Jane is the latest endeavor from chef Govind Armstrong and restaurateur Brad Johnson, who are also partners in Post & Beam. Located in the space that previously housed Lilly's and the short-lived Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, Willie Jane is named after Johnson's centenarian aunt, a Georgia native. The food and beverage riffs on the American South—one highlight is their specialty cocktails like the aromatic Vieux Carré and Sazerac. Even the soundtrack seems to point south, such as recently-heard tunes, Me and Bobby McGee and Southern Cross. The hospitality is never in doubt. As with previous occupants, the patio at Willie Jane is the place to be.
Rose Café
The Rose Café is so ingrained in Venice culture that it's hard to imagine a time when it wasn't part of the neighborhood. But back in 1979, Venice was a very different place. The original owners had traveled extensively in Europe and wanted to open a restaurant that was part café and part pub—with a strong commitment to supporting local artists by showcasing their works. Co-owner Kamal Kapur, who came onboard in 1981, recalls, "It was a bold venture … way ahead of its time. Venice was derelict, but it brought Beverly Hills here because of the restaurant and the coffee and the desserts." The fresh fruit tarts remain a favorite, along with Benedict-style brunch favorites Eggs Pietro (with ham) and Eggs Scandia (smoked salmon on a croissant).
Oscar's Cerveteca
When Oscar Hermosillo's humble comfort food spot opened in the summer of 2011 it was an instant hit, drawing crowds from next door Venice Beach Wines, who were hungry for more dining options in the neighborhood. His original vision was for tacos and beer, a sort of "surf teca" where diners could grab a quick bite and then head to the beach. Ironically, wine now outsells beer—not surprising since the list is accessible and affordable, thanks to Oscar's fiancée, Norma Alvarado, who also works at VBW. His other secret weapon? Consuelo Hermosillo, Oscar's mom, who is often a presence in the kitchen. Some call the menu Mexican, others pan-Latin, but it's hard to qualify other than to say it's a melting pot of comfort food. Popular dishes include the "Mexican pizza" he enjoyed as a kid, Baja-style codfish tacos, the chorizo burger with imported Oaxacan cheese, and Peruvian salmon sashimi.
Superba Snack Bar
Named after one of the main streets dividing Venice—and an apt play on an adjective—Superba Snack Bar hits all the right notes. Jason Neroni, who spent time at Osteria La Buca, is a chef with Italian cred making beautiful pasta dishes. There's an open kitchen with counter seating that puts you right next to the action—and distractingly within reach of seasonal accoutrements like morel mushrooms sitting in the bowls next to Neroni's station. Don't be surprised to see a parade of people stopping by to commend his work. Superba is unpretentious, lively and fun, but the food is serious. From the cold cuts section, the porchetta de testa pastrami on rye is satisfyingly salty.
Barlo Kitchen + Cocktails
The boutique hotel concept suits the Venice ethos well, yet this offbeat charmer is really the only one of its kind in the neighborhood. Located adjacent to the Venice Circle on Pacific Avenue, the 119-room property is home to both Barlo restaurant and the open-air rooftop lounge High. Barlo, named for its ground-floor location in contrast to the top-floor High, serves a solid spread of breakfast and dinner fare. Breakfast tends to be more popular with hotel guests, while dinner draws more locals. Ingredients are thoughtfully sourced, from Anson Mills grits to Drake Family Farm chevre. The food on the roof is more pub-grub-focused, though still unique—sliders are made with lamb, not beef, and quesadillas are filled with smoked tilapia instead of chicken. The cocktail program is geared towards warm weather, with refreshing drinks like Who Pears and Persephone.
Chef Jesse Barber was part of the opening crew at The Tasting Kitchen, following Casey Lane from Oregon to serve as his chef de cuisine. Barber and his wife Celia fell in love with the community—the people, the walking and biking mentality and the do-your-own-thing approach to life. But the classically-trained Barber, who worked under Thomas Keller in Napa, was ready for the chance to take the helm at the kind of place regular people could afford. Enter Barnyard, which took over the old Benice space on Pacific Ave., and still retains the iconic signage stating its lineage as a "local hangout since 1985." Much of the produce comes from its dedicated farm in Malibu, run by the restaurant's owners. Popular dishes include olive oil-poached baby octopus, wild mushrooms and stewed peas, honey-glazed ribs, and daily specials like rack of rabbit.
Poke is a staple of Hawaiian cuisine, and is best described as a cross between tartare and ceviche, with seasoned tuna as its protein base. Poke-Poke the restaurant/takeout window is the brainchild of Jason McVearry and Trisha Fortuna. McVearry lived in Hawaii for five years and later introduced the dish to Fortuna when they were on vacation. But it was Fortuna who dubbed it "surfer's sashimi"—an apropos tagline for to-go fare sold on the Venice Boardwalk. Both developed the recipes, but neither considers themselves chefs; rather McVearry says, "We try to empower our customers to be their own chef and customize their own poke bowls." Choose from flavors such as the original, with sesame seeds and sesame oil, plus green and white onions; or wasabi poke, which many like to complement with ginger. Other add-on options include jalapeño, seaweed, kale, macademia nuts, crushed red pepper, avocado and masago.

Partnership aids Soldiers in need of state services
October 10, 2008
By Bob Reinert
FORT LEWIS, Wash. - Soldiers facing financial challenges now can find more help than ever without leaving post.
Late last month, Fort Lewis Army Community Service formed a partnership with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services to provide better access for Soldiers and their families. A DSHS satellite office was opened in Building 2166, across the street from ACS.
The idea was to make it easier and more convenient for service members to get the most from ACS and DSHS. It's another effort by I Corps to make Fort Lewis the post of choice for living and working through quality family programs and facilities.
"We're cross-referencing to make sure that we're solving problems, not temporarily fixing them," said Laura Blood, Army Community Service Information, Referral and Follow-up Program manager.
Eligibility for DSHS supplemental services, such as the Basic Food program, is based on total family income and family size. When gross income limits were raised Oct. 1 from 125 percent to 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (see accompanying table), the likelihood increased that many more service members will now qualify.
"We had to get this rolling," Blood said. "We wanted this up and running for Oct. 1, when the program was increasing, because we knew it would really benefit our Soldiers. They expect that there will be E-5 and below that may qualify."
Depending on family size, some higher-ranking Soldiers might qualify and some in the lower ranks might not. To determine their eligibility, service members need to present such documentation as military ID cards, leave and earnings statements, and rent and utility bills.
"There are certain credits that a family will receive for paying certain bills," Blood said. "When I counsel clients, it's never absolute, and I always send them over to the (DSHS) office across the street."
The DSHS presence on Fort Lewis will allow Soldiers to apply for programs without leaving post.
"We know there is a stigma with going into a social services office in your local community," Blood said. "And our Soldiers would have to do it during a duty day, and they're in uniform, and they have their names on their uniform."
Blood pointed out that Soldiers have good jobs and are fighting for their country.
"There's a pride factor in being a Soldier," Blood said. "Nobody wants to say, 'Hey, I'm struggling here.' And it's hard times for everyone, and so we want our Soldiers to get the support they need to better care for their families.
"I think that having the (DSHS) office on post was key in removing the stigmas, because, you know, if everyone's in the same category, then it changes the perspective a little bit."
If the early volume is an indicator, the ACS-DSHS partnership has been a rousing success thus far in this period of economic turmoil.
"My phone is ringing off the hook," Blood said. "I know the phone across the street at DSHS is ringing off the hook. People are really, really looking for help, and they're looking for the answers to solve their financial crisis."
Blood said ACS would rather give Soldiers the tools to solve underlying financial problems than provide a temporary patch.
"We ... want to give Soldiers the positive knowledge to go forward and not depend on this forever," Blood said. "We want them to find a way to learn how to budget, learn how to save, learn how to have a positive financial outlook for your future and your family's future."
For more information on its programs, call the Fort Lewis DSHS office at 966-9419.

In a year when Republicans seem to be running to the right, candymaker Rick Enstrom has no problem admitting his ties to some of Colorado's best-known Democrats.
The former wildlife commissioner has spent time with former Democratic Gov. Bill Ritter at Wyoming's One Shot Antelope Hunts and considers him a friend.
Enstrom and his wife donated $800 to Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey's re-election campaign this year.
And one of Enstrom's closest text-messaging pals is Mike King, executive director of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources under Ritter and now Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper.
Asked what he brings to the race, Enstrom didn't hesitate.
"An open mind," the Lakewood Republican said. "I'm not an ideologue. I just want business to be better in the state of Colorado."
Enstrom faces Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, who was appointed to the seat in 2009. House District 23 is one of the races to watch as Republicans try to hang on to their 33-32 majority and Democrats fight to gain control of the chamber.
Both candidates are expected to be hammered by the other party or outside groups over comments they made during the 2010 session, Enstrom about a bill that taxed soda and candy and Tyler on a teacher-tenure measure.
Tyler is well-known in the district, having started several businesses and served on a number of community commissions and panels.
On the campaign trail, the lawmaker, who serves on the House Transportation Committee, talks about the importance of getting road projects underway faster.
"The construction industry will tell you, when they go to work, a lot of other people go to work too," he said.
Tyler won his race in 2010 with 53 percent of the vote, despite it being a GOP year. House Minority Leader Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, credited Tyler's margin of victory to his strong support for small businesses and his constituent outreach.
This time around, the district is even more Democratic because of how it was redrawn last year during reapportionment.
Ferrandino said a bigger problem for Enstrom than the registration breakdown is his fudging on facts during a fight over ending a tax break for candy sales.
"And now he wants to go work for a body he knowingly misled?" Ferrandino said.
But House Speaker Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, said Enstrom did nothing but highlight Democratic attacks on "honest, hardworking businesspeople," which he said was a factor in Republicans winning the majority in 2010.
"Rick Enstrom was down there defending small businesses, and as a citizen of Colorado he had every right to do that," McNulty said. "To have the Democrats attack him for that shows an obscene level of dishonesty on their part."
Enstrom is an executive with Enstrom Candies, the business his grandfather started in Grand Junction. Enstrom in 2010 became the face of a fight against the so-called "Dirty Dozen," referring to tax breaks Democratic lawmakers and the Ritter administration wanted to end to help balance the budget.
One of the bills subjected candy and soda sales to the state's 2.9 percent sales tax. Enstrom testified about his family's 50-year-old business and the 146 Coloradans it employs.
"The adoption of a discriminatory tax on candy will have a huge impact on many small confectionery businesses and make it even more difficult to survive during these difficult economic times," he testified.
Ferrandino and other lawmakers were outraged when Enstrom admitted a few months later he knew the tax-exemption repeal wouldn't apply to his company because most of its products are frozen or refrigerated.
But Enstrom said he was far more than the face of his own candy company.
"I was representing the National Confectioners Association and the Retail Confectioners International. I was representing small business in Colorado," he said. "Then to get a lecture on top of that about how business doesn't do enough for the state of Colorado and it's time we started carrying our fair share. Really?"
Just as Democrats are critical of Enstrom's candy testimony, Republicans have gone after Tyler for his remarks during an emotional debate on a teacher- tenure bill on the House floor. Tyler said teachers must handle all types of kids who walk in the door, regardless of their condition coming in.
"If you were running a business baking bread and the flour came in to you full of maggots and worms, you would not be able to produce a good product, would you?" Tyler said, to gasps from fellow Democrats.
Tyler apologized within minutes for what he called his "poor analogy." He has apologized a number of times since then.

Every time I thaw a bag of my frozen breast milk, I notice a strong smell and when I taste it I tastes like SOAP! I read at the kellymom.com site that this due to the excess of the enzyme lipase and they recommend to scald the milk. But I do not want to do that since it gets rid of some of the milk nutrients, besides I am trying to simplify my life NOT adding more steps to my pumping routine!!
My son does not care about the soapy taste, he drinks the milk without a problem but I feel terrible because I've tasted it myself and I know there is a big difference compared with the taste of my fresh milk.
Any other ideas to get rid of or avoid the soapy taste?
BTW. The way I thaw the milk is by taking the bags out of the freezer and putting them in the lower part of the fridge. It takes about 2 days to thaw like that.

Yes, this is a life or death issue. And those who have kept these medicaid dollars from coming to Utahns in need of them will be at least, at least, partially responsible for any deaths occasioned by these measures.

Moreover, as individuals expire for lack of care, their cases must be documented. The far right has been trying to destroy the statistical apparatus of the federal and state governments for years. The hope of the far right is that people who die for lack of care will die anonymously and unaccounted for. This must not happen.

There are other ways to handle this (besides expanding medicare).
I don't think the right is saying "just let them die". They are saying there's another way. The other way doesn't tie us to a temporary flood of Washington money which is scheduled to go away over time... when it goes away... how do you replace it?
I think they are taking the best course for the long view. Of course it is attractive to just take the flood of Federal dollars now... but what do you do when they go away?
IMO... We need to help each other. And contribute to charitable institutions that help the poor get healthcare. Put together a system run and funded by Utah (not the Feds), which we can sustain long term... not just while the Federal money is flowing to get more people onto the Federally funded entitlement programs (with hooks attached) that will eventually lose their federal funds and the State left holding the empty bag and required to maintain the level of funding these entitlement programs enjoyed during the brief period where Obama was sending us tons of money.

Heart-wrenching. But here's another good reason why I will never again be a Republican. Can't feel good about being an active Mormon and a member of the GOP. WWJD? Certainly not what the Republican legislature and Governor Herbert are doing.

Ford DeTreese,
You brought it up... the WWJD approach to politics.
So what would Jesus do?
Would he expand medicare and expect the government to take care of the poor... or would he do it himself, and encourage his followers to take care of the poor (instead of expecting the Government to make it so he didn't have to think about it)?
Utah's plan may be closer to what he would do... not expect fed entitlements to do it for him.
I don't think Jesus would oppose taking the federal $$$ lure to expand Medicare. But he would not be opposed to the other solution either.
It's not the all-or-nothing proposition you pretend. Meaning... if you decide to not take the money, you want people to die. It means you have ANOTHER solution!
People won't die if we don't take the temp Fed money. Because we have a different solution (which doesn't include letting everybody die).
This all-or-nothing mentality some have (you either take the money... or you want people to die)... is partisan nonsense. There ARE other solutions (that don't require just letting people die).

Based on his own words, Jesus would have let Caesar do Caesar's work, which in our day means "providing for the general welfare." He surely didn't and wouldn't stand in Caesar's way.

If we're really interested in closing these gaps maybe we should consider some sort of system that provides coverage for, and the cost of which is paid by, everyone.

@2 bits -- It's lovely to think that we will all contribute thousands of dollars to help care for the poor, but what happens when we don't. Or what happens if you contribute a hundred thousand for your neighbor's cancer treatment, but I, evil liberal that I am, only want to contribute $20 to help my neighbor with her cancer treatment. Do we want to live in a society where one person who happens to live by generous people is helped but other, equally deserving people are not helped because they know the wrong people? Although it is difficult for a conservative to hear, this is a task most efficiently performed by government. (And by government, I mean US through our elected representatives making laws that benefit society.)

This is only "life or death" IF you are an all-or-nothing type
Neither solution has to result in death. Only the extremes of either solution.
There WILL be death... even if we expand Medicare. It's part of the "human condition" we are all subject too.
I think either solution CAN work. And it doesn't have to be presented as a "life or death" decision.

Madigan pharmacy making improvements to enhance patients' experience
November 3, 2009
Story Highlights
- Madigan improves access to care with improved pharmacy customer service procedures
The Madigan Army Medical pharmacy celebrated National Pharmacy Week Oct. 19 to 23, and amid the festivities, beneficiaries who came to the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions noticed some major improvements.
Four pharmacists and eight technicians have been hired in the past three months, which has decreased waiting times for patients and increases access to care, said Lt. Col. Laurel Fields, deputy pharmacy chief.
Patient safety guides the pharmacy's policies and procedures. A robotic automation system installed throughout the pharmacy has greatly reduced medication errors, like giving a patient the wrong prescription. A bar code is printed onto every single prescription bottle that is also double-checked by the computer and a pharmacist before it is given to the patient. "We don't want to bypass patient safety for speed," said Elhue Claypoole, the administrative officer for the pharmacy.
Leading the way in these improvements is the pharmacy's process improvement team, which is composed of a team of pharmacy employees as well as representatives outside of the pharmacy. The team's purpose is to enhance the customer experience. Using the Baptist leadership philosophy, which helps organizations develop their customer service programs, the team is looking at how they can better take care of the staff - through training, equipment, input - which in turn will lead the staff to take better care of the patients.
The computers and printers at the main pharmacy windows have been upgraded within the last two weeks, and new televisions in the lobby and a new phone system are in the works, said Gary Kendrick, a pharmacy technician.
Additionally, this team is looking at other local hospital pharmacies to gain from their experiences to better streamline the pharmacy's work flow. Ultimately, the goal is to provide exemplary pharmaceutical services and become the "pharmacy of choice" for our patients, said Master Sgt. Stephanie Blackmon, pharmacy NCOIC.
The pharmacy staff said they realized that they are the last stop for most beneficiaries coming to Madigan, and that means they will be the last place the patient experiences before leaving. "If they leave with a bad impression, that's what they will think of Madigan," Kendrick said. "If we in the pharmacy can get them to leave with a smile on their face in addition to the right medication, than we have improved the whole experience of Madigan for them."
