|Ice cream made with fresh peaches, sweetened condensed milk, half and half and instant vanilla pudding, makes a creamy texture that you'll be sure had to be from a homemade custard.
Homemade Peach Ice CreamHomemade peach ice cream is another food that makes me think of my Grandma Mac. She didn't make it often during the summer, but when she did, it was so good. She had the old-fashioned hand cranked type of ice cream maker too - what a lot of lovin' work must've gone into making that ice cream, and goodness, it sure tasted it too.
Me, I still have one of those old-fashioned wooden bucket types of ice cream freezer, but mine is electric, noisy as all get out and kind of a pain to use to be honest, but it cranks out some mighty fine ice cream for sure, so I guess it's worth putting up with the aggravation for a little while. I finally got around to buying one of the newfangled ones that you keep the bucket in the freezer and love it, though those are all usually under 2 quarts and not quite as noisy. I do like having the option of having the larger one though, especially if it's a holiday.
Anyhoo... this recipe isn't Grandma Mac's because her's used a cooked custard, as most good old-fashioned homemade ice creams require - the kind that you have to cook oh so carefully over a double boiler, then cool, then chill and age in the fridge ... and all that before you even begin to make ice cream out of it! It's delicious, but makes for a pretty time consuming process, and then Grandma used a hand cranked ice cream maker on top of all that! Whew! I am slap wore out just thinkin' about it.
This recipe is from the 2009 edition of one of my cookbooks, Southern Living Comfort Food. This cookbook is a nice compilation of typical Southern comfort food recipes from Southern Living, although if you already collected the annuals, you've probably seen the recipes in one of them at some point.
When I first saw the ingredients to make this ice cream I admit, I was leery but intrigued. How could this taste like ice cream made with homemade custard? After seeing how simple it was, I knew I would definitely have to at least give it a try. Well, I have to say, ... I was stunned. Surprised. Shocked. And totally impressed. This ice cream is super creamy and smooth and just downright delicious! It tastes like a custard ice cream, but without all the work!! Whodathunk it?
I have to say that I really am impressed, both with this recipe and really, this entire cookbook. I have many Southern Living cookbooks, but this one, to me, well it speaks to true southern home cookin', the kind of food that everybody loves. The kind of food that makes you feel like family. The kind that comes out of my own kitchen. Definitely a winner, if I ever get around to writing a cookbook, it would be like this one.
By the way, if you don't already have one, get a soft skin peeler to peel your peaches. That's one gadget I think that I can confidently say you won't regret owning. And this ice cream? Well, I have to say that I really do think even Grandma Mac would approve. Here's how to make it.
Recipe: Easy Homemade Southern Peach Ice Cream©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Inactive/Prep time: 2 hours 30 minutes | Yield: About 2 quarts
- 4 cups of chopped, fresh peaches (about 8 large)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 (12 ounce) can of evaporated milk
- 1 (3.75 ounce) package of instant vanilla pudding
- 1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 4 cups of half and half
- Electric ice cream freezer machine
- 5 pound or larger bag of ice
- Rock salt
Peel, pit and cut the peaches into chunks. Place into a bowl, sprinkle with the sugar, stir; allow to rest for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Hand mash, or place peaches and juice into a food processor and pulse about 3 to 4 times, until mostly pureed. Set aside.
Whisk together the evaporated milk and pudding mix until well blended. Add the peaches, sweetened condensed milk and half and half and whisk well. Pour mixture into the container of an ice cream freezer and process according to the directions for your freezer. Once the process is complete, transfer to a container and place into the freezer until firm.
Note: To peel peaches, bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil and using a slotted spoon, drop 2 to 3 peaches in the boiling water at a time, return to a boil and allow peaches to sit in the boiling water for about 30 seconds. Remove and peel off skin. When fresh peaches are not in season, substitute canned, drained or thawed frozen peaches. One pound of frozen or canned peaches is equal to about three medium peaches.

HPV vaccine available for women
Mystie Johnson, MD, a board-certified OB/Gyn, is chief medical officer at Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center and was one of the first doctors on staff at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: I am 20 years old and some of my friends have told me that I can get a shot to keep me from getting cervical cancer. Is that true?
Answer: What your friends are talking about is the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine, which is actually a series of three shots that will protect your body against four strains of HPV, commonly referred to as HPV types 6, 11, 16 and 18.
Recent studies have linked HPV, a sexually-transmitted disease, to cervical cancer.
The current vaccine has been shown to prevent HPV infection and reduce the occurrence of cervical cancer in most women. In fact, studies have shown the vaccine to prevent almost 70 percent of cervical cancer cases and almost 90 percent of genital warts cases currently seen.
There are many rumors involving the HPV vaccine. The truth is that anyone can receive the HPV vaccine and be protected in some way.
Women who are sexually active and have had abnormal pap smears or previous HPV infections can still receive the vaccine. It will protect against other strains of HPV and potential future cervical cancer.
Currently, the FDA has approved the vaccine for females between the ages of 9 and 26 years old regardless of sexual activity and prior pap smear history. Most insurance plans will cover the cost of the vaccine for these women.
If you are over the age of 26, you can still receive the vaccine; it just might not be covered by your insurance. The HPV vaccine is a three-shot series given over a 6 month period. Schedule an appointment with your OB/Gyn to discuss the HPV vaccine.

text: Gill Sans™ Ultra Bold was first introduced in 1928. Eric Gill studied under the renowned calligrapher, Edward Johnston, the designer of the London Underground sans serif typeface. This influenced Gill who later experimented with sans serif designs, and in due course produced a set of capital letters. Gill Sans Ultra Bold is a twentieth century sans serif that has a simplicity of form which does not reject traditional forms and proportions, and gives the face a humanist feel. The lighter weights are highly readable in text and suitable for magazine and book work, whereas the heavier weights are best used for display in advertising, packaging, and labels.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kberry So cute but.. I love this mug! I bought this one and the giraffe. I use them a lot for tea but what started to happen when my tea is really hot, they crack. Both of them cracked. They are super cool design wise but not durable for hot stuff. I love them but they did not last 2 uses until they cracked all over on the inside and you can feel the cracks on the outside as well.. I dont know what to do with them because I like how they look but I know they will fall apart if I use them more. August 4, 2013

A waterproof, breathable technology utilizing a polyurethane (PU) coating that consists of a tri-component, multi-layer formula for waterproof protection, moisture permeability and durability. HyVent® technology has been lab- and field-tested to ensure the best possible durability and function while also maintaining an optimum level of breathability. To test the level of waterproofness, we subjected HyVent® garments to 20 wash cycles, where garments retained an average of more than 60 PSI on the waterproofing Mullens test.
Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

Apologies for all the Tiki Barber news, but this was too good to ignore…
Tiki Barber's girlfriend turned fiancee Traci Lynn Johnson recently did a photo shoot for the popular men's publication, Maxim, and dropped some unintentional comical nuggets about her relationship with Barber during a Q&A with the magazine.
Where would you go on your ideal first date?
A Mexican restaurant. We'd have tacos, enchiladas, and enough salsa to kill someone. And we'd wash it down with tequila and go out dancing. I'm a terrible dancer, but with enough tequila in me, I'll do anything.
Is that where you went with Tiki?
No, we went to McDonald's. I was starving and about to flip into [expletive] mode, so we stopped there. It was a match made in Happy Meals.
Besides mastering the Kardashian oeuvre, how can a guy win you?
You have to be up on current affairs. And you definitely have to keep up on the tequila shots.
How many do you have in one sitting?
Six, if I have enough limes. Enough tequila can turn any bad date into a great night.
So Tiki can hold his liquor. What else don't we know about him?
Other than the fact that he likes to walk around the house naked?
I do too, so that's why we're a good match.
You're not a sports fan?
I love basketball. Tiki knows Carmelo Anthony is my favorite New York athlete. We sat with him at an event, and Tiki told him, "She will leave me for you in a heartbeat." I was so embarrassed.
Let the jokes begin in 5-4-3-2…..

Thomasville faces more pressure to deal with large spills
Published: Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 19, 2013 at 1:46 p.m.
The ongoing wastewater spills in Thomasville certainly raise environmental concerns. Anytime a heavy rainfall occurs, a spill is almost guaranteed. That happened last week when a whopping 1.39 million gallons of untreated wastewater spilled from the East Davidson Pump Station after a downpour. The rain caused short-term but widespread flooding in the city. The Yadkin Riverkeeper has been an outspoken critic of the city's spills, and now the Southern Environmental Law Center is threatening a lawsuit under the federal Clean Water Act.
The timing for the proposed legal action is a bit odd, as the city is attempting to address the problems. At Monday night's city council meeting, members acted on improvements for the North Hamby Creek Sanitary Sewer Outfall and North Side Pump Station. Upgrades have already occurred or are in process at other facilities. A lawsuit would be more understandable if the city wasn't acting. Certainly such action should have occurred years ago, and Thomasville wouldn't be in the position it now faces. Perhaps a successful lawsuit would prompt quicker action, but it could also cause city officials to face difficult choices to find funds to pay for improvements. The SELC needs to take into account the city's steps as it decides at the end of a 60-day period whether to sue.
Pressure remains on the Davidson County Economic Development Commission to carry through with promised reforms. Joel Pierce, a Thomasville City Council member and EDC critic, pressed Steve Googe, the commission's executive director, on nondisclosure forms for elected officials this week. Googe said the forms were initially just for county commissioners, but they should go to all elected leaders so they know more about companies for which they're approving incentives. Also, the Midway Town Council for now is holding firm on its decision to withdraw $10,000 in funding from the EDC. The concern voiced by council member John Byrum, an EDC board member, that somehow that decision could affect the town's citizens from finding jobs seems a stretch, too.
Not every race on municipal ballots will be contested in November, but most will. Filing ended at noon Friday, and 36 candidates applied. Races for Lexington Wards 1 and 3, Thomasville mayor and city council, Denton mayor and town council, and Midway Town Council will be contested. Only Lexington mayor and Wards 2 and 4 and Wallburg mayor and town council will be uncontested. Those who filed deserve credit for their willingness to participate in the nation's democracy. Now voters need to do their homework before casting ballots.

What album did you like better? Think it's about tied to me, but F&L holds a special place. haha!
Food & Liquor or The Cool
What album did you like better? Think it's about tied to me, but F&L holds a special place. haha!
Forum category:
@LUWHOELSE how can I not criticize Lu for not including his own personal life in his music? that's what makes the difference to me, thats the one thing he's missing. I don't hold against him, I'm sure he has his reasons but unfortunately that's the difference to me.
Food and Liquor only because I like almost all the songs in there, compared to only a few from the cool.
@Prophecy How can you criticize Lupe for not including his own personal in his music. Some artists don't like their personal business out there. Anyhow i cant really choose between the two. They both have songs I love, I'd probably go with F&L because i felt that album more whereas The Cool was a story that I enjoyed
I like the cool because of its concept, but food and liquor was like i'm just gonna talk to my fans, this is what i'm about, a buy or sell album... I can't pick, it'll destroy me inside...LOL
I think that The Cool gots better songs in it (for example fighters, streets on fire and superstar) but Food & Licour is better in it's entirity. I mean it doesn't have a single bad song on it, but The Cool has those 2 I hate: Hello Goodbye and Put you on game.
I dont agree with you IBIS THOTH that fnl is an autobiography. Thats one aspect of Lu's music I criticize he doesnt get to that personal level with his audience, most of his songs seem that hes eitehr trying to get to a deeper concept or he's making a generic song that any1 can relate to. Yes in a song like 'sunshine' he may have been thinking of a personal situation in particular , but its still very generic if you get what im saying. A perfect example of an artist getting to that personal level with his audience in Blu in bth, after hearing that album song for song it was like you felt some of Blu's life, I never got that with Lu's Fnl. That said, I prefer FnL, the songs were just so much more...soulful? I dunno just was better to me. But thats just my opinion..
I love Food and Liquor, but The Cool was like my favorite album of all time, not just hip-hop. I've closely listened to it like 80 times and I still find something new to go "wow" about every time, be it a metaphor or some connection between a lyric and the central story. It's all just dope. "No heaven for a G"
Food & Liquor was an autobiography. The Cool was Lupe's version of Aesop Fable. Both were unique, and loved both. The honesty and message of Food & Liquor was slightly more my cup of tea. Hotep.
I think F&L is a slightly better and more complete hip-hop album, but they are both near perfect albums. My personal favorite is The Cool because it has a lot of personal meaning to me
THE COOL.. it's darkish, not really but kinda in a way dark i guess; and i'm a very cold sarcastic person.
the cool had better production. but F&L was mad soulful. lyrics wise i'd say F&L was a little more diverse. but both albums are very consistent! so it's a tie for me!
The Cool.I anticipated that album for months so when i heard it i was blown away and it still is my shit.Put u on Game is amazing.
I'd say The Cool. My fav on F&L would be American Terrorist. But The Cool had Dumb it Down, Paris Tokyo,, Streets on Fire They're both good though.
I think OVERDOSE OF PASSION said it...F&L is more consistent in my opinion but The Cool has higher highs but lower lows. Both are great though and stay in my rotation. I don't like to read books so listening to his albums makes me feel like I'm still getting a little smarter while doing the closest thing to actually reading (sounds bad I know).
I think each of these albums was a reflection of where Lupe was at in his life. With that said, I feel a little bad saying that i prefer The Cool over F&L. I feel like the death of Lu's pops and the incarceration of Chill definitely aided in the creative process of The Cool. But sometimes pain is an easy feeling to draw from.
F&L was definitely more streamlined; The Cool had way more jumping between amazing (Put You On Game, Streets on Fire) and mediocre (The Die, Superstar), so I have to say Food and Liquor. Plus, Food and Liquor had more soul than half of BET.
i would have to say food and liquor only cuz it jus felt so Chi-Town to me but i still got love for the cool tho
Ohh, wow. This is really tough. I think will have to go with The Cool. It consistently has great songs and I love the use of The Game, The Streets, and The Cool as characters. Very deep in that respect.
Both are dope, but honestly, the Food and Liquor leak may have been the best. If for no other reason than it prompting Bishop G to say he had "bags of bullets" on FNF radio.
The tone that the cool set was pretty cool (hah), but Food & Liquor was what got me listening to hip-hop that had soul and will always be on of my favorite albums.
I've been listenin to both still in rotation on my MP3 player so I really can't decide, I got favorites from both...they are really tied to me

Welcome to the CBT-I Conference Site
Thank you for your interest in the Penn CBT-I Seminars.
This web site is designed to provide:
- Information about our CBT-I seminar: When, Where and What's involved.
- General information about the educational resources that are available to those who wish to learn about Behavioral Sleep Medicine.
- An archive intended for those that have attended the seminars: an instrument archive, a digital library, all the slide sets from the Basic Seminar (with slide decks from the Advanced Seminar to come), and a set of videos. This section of the web site, which can only be accessed with permission, will be continually revised and expanded.
Mission & Vision
The purpose of this seminar is simple: to provide therapists unfamiliar with Behavioral Sleep Medicine the opportunity to "jump start" their training in the Cognitive Behavioral treatment of insomnia.
The 3 day Basic Seminar is an intensive educational experience that covers a diversity of subjects related to the etiology and pathophysiology of insomnia and to the assessment and treatment of insomnia. Successful completion of this seminar is intended to position experienced therapists to begin practice with CBT-I in the context of an apprenticeship model and further continuing education activities. For an itinerary from the last course, please click here.
The 3 day Advanced Seminar is only for those who have completed basic training through Penn or the VA CBT-I Program (or have permission to attend the course). The workshop is split 2:1 in favor of active learning exercises to lectures. The learning exercises include e.g., case presentations and role plays. The lectures (day 1 only), cover several advanced topics including Advanced Models of Insomnia, Actigraphy, Interpreting PSG reports, alternative treatment strategies (e.g., sleep compression, bright light treatment, etc.). For a prospective itinerary, please click here.
To date, our seminar has offered training, worldwide, to more than 1000 clinicians. This represents, to our way of thinking, a good start towards our ultimate goal: to provide a pathway toward the ultimate goal of having enough BSM / CBT-I clinicians available to provide such services at each and every sleep disorders center clinic in the United States.
The seminars, while crafted for established and experienced clinicians who practice other forms of CBT, may also serve as a good educational platform for clinical trainees and non-CBT practitioners who wish to be better informed about this treatment modality.
Click here to view slide sets about who should provide services in Behavioral Sleep Medicine and one proposed pathway towards training in CBT-I.

These are some photos of a distant relative who was a very successful driver at a Fort Wayne race track of the #98 Ford and later the #7 Case Dairy Products Bluffton IN. Chevy stock car.
My dad always told me about the Trophy room that they had at their house that was FULL ,and now nobody knows what happened to any of it!
His #7 was a '36 Chevy with a Cadillac flathead v-8 that was set back into the firewall,he sent the motor to California to be reworked and balanced for $1000 in the mid '50s ,which would have been alot back then!

I was at my gym the other day, and one of the trainers shouted, "Bring it!" as I added another level of weights to my strength-training regimen. As I hoisted the heavier kettle bell, my trainer's coaching to "bring it" made me think of how this concept is also applicable in our careers.
It takes courage and conviction to seek out your career destiny so it doesn't happen by default. So many people let the momentum of a job take them on a path that leads them to a place they have no desire to go. Power is not given, but taken. You have the power to take small and incremental steps on your personal career journey to lead you to where you want to go. You also have the power to make stretch goals and expand your comfort zone to take risks and try new things.
Are You Bringing It?
I'm the first to tell you that it's not always easy but it is certainly doable. The first step comes from articulating what you want in your professional life. Say it out loud; write it down, and then start to own your aspirations by telling others. Before you know it, people will surface who can help you on your customized career journey. You will attract members of your Personal Board of Directors when you start to envision what it is you really want in life and there is no better time to start than now!
Lean In To Your Career
Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook, gave an inspiring graduation speech at Barnard College in 2011 that lives on in the blogosphere. She told the young graduates to be ambitious and self-confident, and to "lean in" to their careers, especially since control was theirs for the taking. The world will present many choices during your professional lifetime and career paths can be circuitous and inevitably, they will change. But if you "lean back" and let things just happen by default, you lose the power of choice you so richly deserve.
According to Sheryl: "Put your foot on that gas pedal, and keep it there until the day you have to make a decision, and then make a decision that honors you." Be excellent at what you do and lean into your career with self-confidence and the power to control your professional destiny.
Make Time for Dreams
Give yourself permission to dream. It's healthy and exhilarating to think big and be ambitious about what you really want personally and professionally. Leadership belongs to those who take it and career management is leadership behavior. Leadership has nothing to do with rank. Whether you are an entry-level employee or a C-Suite executive, you must take your career future into your own hands.
It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day minutiae and forget to honor your dreams. Work/life integration is tough and balance is next to impossible, but dreaming will empower you to rejuvenate and focus on what you really want. Dreams are necessary to develop your goals and they tap your creativity to consider the possibilities.
Only you can define what success and happiness means to you, dreaming gives you permission to design your life and career destiny. Dreaming begs the question – what would you do if you weren't afraid? Fortune begs the bold – don't let your fears overwhelm your desire and give yourself time to dream big so you can begin to make it your reality.
Expand Your Comfort Zone
Put yourself out there because you will never know what you are capable of unless you try. Aim high and don't think about stepping out of your comfort zone as a painful process. Consider expanding your comfort zone as a way to sharpen your strengths and discover new passions.
Naomi C. Earp, former Commissioner of the EEOC said: "Society moves forward because people venture something new, not because they play it safe. Push through your fear and seize new opportunities." You've got to identify how you want to bring it career wise.

ZF-4001: Zend_Paginator_Adapter_DbSelect
I have two issues in the Zend_Paginator_Adapter_DbSelect class :
1- The class checks if (!isset($result[self::ROW_COUNT_COLUMN])) then throw excpetion, why? some databases like MySQL when inner joining empty tables returns empty record set which makes the adapter fails. It should not throw exception just set the row count to zero is fair enough.
Example: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ANY_EMPTY_TABLE GROUP BY TABLE_PRIMARY_KEY; // this will return empty record set
2- The class fetch the count by reseting Zend_Db_Select::COLUMNS, Zend_Db_Select::ORDER and Zend_Db_Select::LIMIT_OFFSET. Also should clear the Zend_Db_Select::GROUP, Because some databases or all! return a count of each group as a recordset. The count function mainly effected by the GROUP BY modifier.
Example: SELECT COUNT(*) from NONE_EMPTY_TABLE GROUP BY TABLE_PRIMARY_KEY; //a count for each pk group
For more information http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/…
Unfortunately, Removing the GROUP BY modifier in most cases will give invalid count of rows.
Benjamin Gonzales solution is PERFECT.
Between I HAVE NO COMMENT OPTION :( I only have (Edit, Convert, Vote, Worklog and Google) in the left nav, Its really wired positioning ;)
PS: There is no way to comment on the issue just editing it? :)
Could you perhaps give an example of the first problem? What tables (with how much data) do you have an what query do you have?
As for the second issues.. you're saying a GROUP BY can return multiple rows, even if the query only selectes COUNT(*) AS zend_paginator_row count? Again, an example would be greatly appreciated.
Yes there is a comment option, without editing. It's just well hidden in the left nav-bar ; )
For the non-empty table Benjamin Gonzales suggested the following on the Wiki:
public function count(){
if ($this->_rowCount === null){
$rowCount = clone $this->_select;
$group = implode(",",$rowCount->getPart(Zend_Db_Select::GROUP));
$expression = empty($group) ? "COUNT(*)" : "COUNT(DISTINCT $group)" ;
$expression = new Zend_Db_Expr($expresion .' AS '. self::ROW_COUNT_COLUMN);
return $this->_rowCount;
I'm going to look at implementing a similar solution.

Great Britain Travel guide
Great Britain : Michelin's recommendations
England, Wales and Scotland: since 1707 the Union Jack has combined the blue-white-and-red of the crosses of Saint George and Saint Andrew. At its peak the British Empire was the master of the world and comprised no less than a quarter of the world's population.
Today, slightly over 60 millions inhabitants and lots of ''men in a hurry'' populate this insular territory whose capital, London, remains the number one financial market in Europe. But there's still time for a pint at the pub after work in the City! And though it is a hub for the cutting-edge European cultural scene, the city of Sherlock Holmes has preserved its aristocratic charm.
Beyond the green '' London countryside'', you can explore the fascinating history of Great Britain through its fortresses and castles surrounded by enchanting lakes and gardens. After visiting some of its magnificent stately homes, such as Chatsworth and Caernaforn, take time for a stroll on the legendary campuses of Oxford and Cambridge.
To reach even further back in time, head for the Scottish Highlands, where glaciers created a jagged coast of fjords, known locally as lochs.

Leftover Salmon to play at Greenfield Lake
Polyethnic Cajun slamgrass is band at its best
Published: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 8:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, October 30, 2013 at 8:22 a.m.
Leftover Salmon took the sweet sound of polyethnic Cajun slamgrass across the nation over the last three years. Their return to Wilmington on Sunday to play the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater marks the end of an intense run and a shift in touring strategy.
Who: Leftover Salmon
When: 4:30 p.m. gates, 5:30
p.m. show, Sunday, Nov. 3
Where: Greenfield Lake
Amphitheater, 1941
Amphitheater Drive, Wilmington
Tickets: $20 in advance
(available at Gravity Records,
Momentum Surf and Skate or
online), $25 day of show
Details: www.
or www.983ThePenguin.com
"This is our last hard bus tour for a while," founding member Drew Emmitt said in a recent telephone interview. "We're pulling back to do more strategic type runs, still getting out there, but we're kind of celebrating this as our last big tour for some time."
Emmitt and Vince Herman are founding members of Leftover Salmon, which has provided inspiration for countless other bands who play instruments associated with bluegrass music but do not play them in the traditional method.
Their shows are vibrant, with songs that are open to improvisational jamming and sharpened by years of touring.
After forming almost by accident on New Year's Eve 1989, the band stayed on the road for most of the next 15 years. They took a much-needed hiatus at the end of 2005, reuniting only for the occasional festival or performance over the next five years. The break gave them time to pursue solo or side projects, and strengthened their playing when they began touring full time again in 2010.
"We each got to discover our own voices a little more," said Emmitt, who released a solo album and also performed with Bill Nershi of Sting Cheese Incident.
"Personally, I learned what it was like to run a band as a business manager, which was a good educational experience."
Rusty as a unit when they reconvened, Emmitt feels the steady dose of performances has the band playing at a high level. They've also benefited from the addition of 24-year-old drummer Alwyn Robinson, who joined Leftover Salmon in May, playing his first show in front of 5,000 fans at Del Fest in Cumberland, Md.
The band has featured many drummers over the years, but Robinson may be the perfect fit.
"This is his first time on a big bus tour so he's really enjoying that," Emmitt said. "He is a music school master student and has been killing it on the drums."
Banjo player Andy Thorn also has helped fill a void lingering since the third founding member, Mark Vann, died from cancer in 2002. Thorn, a 30-year-old North Carolina native, grew up a fan of Salmon and joined the band in 2010.
Last summer, Leftover Salmon served as the house band for "After the Catch," the show featuring the captains from the popular crab fishing reality show "Deadliest Catch."
Armed with new material from their May 2012 release, "Aquatic Hitchhiker," and a repertoire of originals and covers of 250 songs, Leftover Salmon remains on this concert run through mid-November. Then they'll wind down the year with New Year's Eve shows in Park City, Utah, and Seattle before extended runs Alaska and Hawaii.
The future for Leftover Salmon is likely to follow a similar pattern - extended stays in cities, or two- and three-week stretches revolving around larger concerts. The set list changes from show to show, a reflection of the adventurous spirit shared by the band and its fans.

Baker was a first-team All-Western Athletic Conference honoree for the third straight year, and also earned WAC Player of the Week and WAC All-Tournament team honors. The 6-foot-1 outside hitter led the WAC with 4.41 kills per game, and 4.95 points per game in 2012. She finished the year with 23 double-doubles and her 556 kills on the year were the fifth most in a single-season in program history. She also finished her career with 1,382 kills, the seventh most by an Idaho player.
The team's Most Improved Player award went to 6-foot-3 sophomore middle blocker Alyssa Schultz, who ranked second in the WAC with 1.42 blocks per game and fourth with a .340 hitting percentage. After earning WAC All-Freshman team honors in 2011, Schultz was a first-team All-WAC selection in 2012. She had 138 block assists on the season, tying for the fourth most in one season by a Vandal player. Her .340 hitting percentage was the fifth highest by a Vandal in program history, raising her career hitting percentage to .325, the highest in program history.
Senior Janelle Chow was the recipient of the team's Most Inspirational Player award. In her first season at libero Chow tallied 554 digs in 2012, the second most in a season in Idaho history. She raised her career dig total to 1,089, ranking sixth on Idaho's career list. Chow's 39 digs against UC Santa Barbara were the third most in a match by a Vandal player in history, just two shy of the single-match record. Chow also earned WAC All-Tournament team honors, leading Idaho's comeback from the service line as the Vandals faced elimination with a 14-11 fifth-set deficit in the semifinals before pulling out a 16-14 win.
Senior middle blocker Alex Sele won the team's Kathy Clark Scholar Athlete Award. Sele holds a 3.95 GPA and will graduate with her degree in psychology later this month. Sele averaged 1.97 kills and 0.85 blocks per set, and hit .322 on the season, and earned second-team All-WAC honors for the second consecutive season.
The Vandals tied for second in the WAC for the second straight year, and advanced to the program's first WAC championship match. Idaho finished with a 17-14 overall record and a 13-5 WAC mark and beat every WAC team at least once. Idaho's 17 wins in 2012 were the most for the program since it won 19 matches in 2008.

Fourth-Ranked Mens Lightweights Eye Wood-Hammond Trophy Saturday
WOOD-HAMMOND TROPHY HISTORY l NATIONAL POLL
One week before Princeton will welcome the top two teams in the nation to Lake Carnegie for the annual Goldthwait and Vogel Cup regatta, the fourth-ranked men's lightweights will make the short trip to Philadelphia to take on both Penn and Georgetown in the Wood-Hammond Trophy regatta.
This will be the 70th year for the Wood-Hammond Trophy, which is given annually to the winner of the Penn-Princeton varsity eight race. Princeton leads the all-time series 57-12, and has won each of the last seven meetings. Georgetown will also be part of the race, though the Hoyas are not eligible for the Wood-Hammond Trophy.
For Princeton, it is an opportunity to get back on the winning track after a tough morning in Ithaca last weekend. Third-ranked Cornell earned wins in the varsity eight, second varsity and the freshman eight during the Platt Cup regatta.
Now in the final stretch of their season, the Tigers can put that work in overdrive as they see the Eastern Sprints looming on the horizon. A good week of training will lead Princeton into Saturday morning on the Schuylkill River, where racing will begin at 10 am with the freshman eight race. Racing will continue every 20 minutes, and the varsity eight is scheduled for 10:40 in the morning.
This will be Princeton's final road competition during the regular season. Lake Carnegie will serve as host for Harvard and Yale next weekend, as well as the May 5 finale against both Columbia and Delaware.

|Trond Knaplund
As far as all-around athletes go, few at Idaho compare to Trond Knaplund. He could run the 100 meters in 10.8, long jump 24 feet, high jump seven feet, pole vault 14 feet and throw the javelin 175 feet. He was a 1984 All-American in the decathlon after finishing fifth at the NCAA Championships with a former school-record score of 7,658 points. He was the first Vandal athlete to break the 7,500-point barrier in the decathlon. His personal-best decathlon score is the ninth-best of all-time for his native country, Norway. He won the 1983 Big Sky outdoor title in the decathlon to help lead the men to the team title, then helped the team win the 1984 Big Sky indoor title with a third-place finish in the long jump and a sixth-place finish in the 55-meter hurdles. After Idaho, he has continued to contribute to the world of athletics. He was a race official and venue manager for the bobsled at the 1994 Olympic Games at Lillehammer. He has served as a coach for the Jamaican bobsled team, which was the basis for the Cool Runnings movie. Most recently, he is a junior developmental coach for the Norwegian Athletics Federation.

Assume that if $A$ is a set of cardinals such that $A$ contains no largest element and assume that we have shown that $\bigcup A$ is a cardinal. Now we want to show that $\bigcup A$ is a limit cardinal. By contradiction, we assume that it is a successor cardinal $\kappa^+$ for some cardinal $\kappa$.
The proof in Just/Weese proceeds "Then $A$ must contain an element $\lambda$ such that $\kappa < \lambda$."
But how do we get there?
Question 1: We don't know whether $\kappa \in A$ or not, right?
Question 2: If $\kappa \in A$ and $\bigcup A = \kappa^+$, then how can there be any cardinals between $\kappa$ and $\kappa^+$? (I think there cannot.)
Question 3: Perhaps the reasoning is this? If $A$ does not contain a largest element then for every cardinal $\kappa$ in $\mathbf{Card}$, there is $\lambda \in A$ such that $\kappa < \lambda$?
Thank you for your help.

Miami Dolphins rookie RB Daniel Thomas: Will he be the lead back from the start?
If there's one good thing about the NFL lockout, at least, maybe it's this: It affords teams plenty of time to figure out how they want to proceed once the lockout ends. Whenever it ends.
It figures that Jeff Ireland, the general manager of the Miami Dolphins, has come up with a plan or two for how the team can improve its roster before the expected start of the 2011 season. And one of things Ireland has likely spent a lot of time thinking about: What the team should do at the running back position.
Running back was one of the Dolphins primary needs entering the NFL Draft. And Miami addressed that need – trading back into the second round to select Daniel Thomas from Kansas State.
Still, questions remain about what the Dolphins' backfield will look like whenever the 2011 season – and preseason – begins. Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, both of whom have formed the Dolphins' longtime backfield duo – are both free agents. It's unlikely that both will be brought back – we can pretty much assume there's a zero percent chance that happens – but it could be likely that one of those two will resign with the Dolphins.
If not, there are other potential free agents who could entice the Dolphins. DeAngelo Williams, perhaps?
Between workouts the other day at FAU, Thomas talked with a few media members about his place on the Dolphins' roster entering camp. Obviously, Thomas doesn't know much about where he fits in, given he really hasn't had a chance to meet with the coaching staff. Heck, he hasn't even met many of his teammates or even looked at a playbook. Such is life for a rookie in the lockout.
But, Thomas said, he understands he could be The Guy in the backfield for the Dolphins when it comes time to enter camp.
"A lot of people have brought that to my attention," Thomas said. "But it'd be great to have those guys there so I could learn from them – learn the ropes and everything. But if not I've just got to go in there and work hard like I'm a starter."
By "those guys," of course, Thomas is referring to the veteran combo of Ronnie and Ricky. And yes, Thomas believes it would be good if he had the chance to learn under a veteran. If not, though, he seems excited by the possibility of stepping in right away and having a chance to be the featured back.
Before the draft, Ireland implied the team would continue to stick with the two-running back approach that it has used in recent seasons. After the draft, he said the Dolphins drafted Thomas not because he had experience in a wildcat offense (Thomas, a former quarterback, does indeed have such experience) but because the Dolphins liked him as a traditional running back. A powerful, bruising back.
If nothing else, Thomas has some history on his side. Running backs picked in the first and second rounds have staying power, at least. Starting with the 2005 draft and ending with the 2010 draft, 34 running backs were selected in either the first or second round. Of those 34, 28 are still in the NFL. And among the group that is still in the NFL, 11 have run for at least 3,000 yards in their career (Adrian Peterson and Maurice Jones-Drew have both run for more than 5,000). Three of those 11 players were picked in the second round (Jones-Drew, Matt Forte and Ray Rice).
If Thomas is indeed the guy from day one, he'll have a head start on joining that list.

About the Rock Hall's Elvis Exhibit:
Elvis Presley is the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. He rose from humble circumstances to launch the rock and roll revolution with his commanding voice and charismatic stage presence. In the words of the historical marker that stands outside the house where he was born: "Presley's career as a singer and entertainer redefined popular music." He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
Exhibit highlights include:
• 1975 Lincoln Continental Mark IV 2 Door Coupe - The car was purchased by Presley on July 28, 1975 at Schilling Motors in Memphis, Tennessee. It is one of many cars that Presley famously purchased as a gift. This particular car was given to his bodyguard Dave Hebler. The day before Presley bought this car, he purchased 13 Cadillac's for a total of $140,000. He gave the 13 cars away to friends, family and a woman named Menni Person who happened to be window-shopping for a Cadillac at the dealership when Presley arrived.
• Jumpsuit, 1973 - Presley wore this suit, called "Snowflake," at concerts in San Diego, California, and Uniondale, New York.
• Jacket, c. 1956 - When he was a young man, Elvis Presley bought many of his clothes at the Lansky Brothers store on Beale Street in Memphis. Like most businesses on Beale, the store primarily catered to African-Americans.
• Elvis Presley Acoustic Guitar - When Elvis Presley sent his 1956 Gibson J-200 back to the factory to be refurbished and customized, the company sent this one as a replacement. He used it on his first recording sessions after his discharge from the Army and in his 1968 television special.
• Smith and Wesson Model 19-3 Revolver, 1967 and Colt Python Revolver, 1974 -
Elvis Presley was a firearms enthusiast who owned many handguns in his lifetime. The Colt bears an engraving of the TCB logo on one side and the initials EP on the other.
• Elvis Presley Jukebox: Seeburg Selectromatic 100 - Presley's record company, RCA Records, presented this jukebox to him.

The figure shows projected federal spending and revenues in coming years, according to the administration's new budget figures. The deficit is the gap between the lines:
Downsizing Blog
Spending to Cross New Thresholds
Federal spending reached $1 trillion in fiscal year 1987. Then it took fifteen years for spending to reach $2 trillion in 2002. Then it only took six years to reach $3 trillion in 2008. President Obama's new midsession budget projections show that it will reach $4 trillion in 2014 and take only four more years to top $5 trillion in 2018. Meanwhile, the Washington establishment is getting all worked up about the deficit effects of extending recent tax cuts, which amount to just a few hundred billion dollars a year.
Greek Rail and Amtrak
Greece's fiscal meltdown could be a sign of things to come in the U.S. if we don't get our own fiscal house in order. The images of Greek unions rioting against desperately needed government reforms bring to mind our own problems with public sector unions.
Co-opting the Anti-Spenders
Voters who recognize the need to make major cuts to federal spending and think returning Republicans to power will accomplish this feat could be in for a big disappointment. Recent comments to the Washington Post made by former Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R-MS) make it clear that anti-spending candidates elected in November will be fighting against their own party – not just the Democrats.
Federal Spending Per Household
The following chart show federal spending over the past decade on a per-household basis, adjusted for inflation:
Obama's Batteries
The economy remains weak and the administration's stimulus has been a bust. To counter the growing unpopularity of his economic policies, the president is traveling around the country handing out government checks to anointed industries.
White House's Job Creation Figures
The Council of Economic Advisors' latest analysis of the $862 billion stimulus bill figures that it created 2.5 to 3.6 million jobs. How good is this estimate? The same CEA told us that the stimulus bill would keep the unemployment rate below 8 percent. Almost a year and a half later unemployment is still above 9 percent.
HUD's Public Housing Proposal
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is pushing legislation that would enable public housing projects to access private financing. Due to limits on how much of a tenant's income can be used for rent, public housing authorities have been reliant on billions of dollars in annual federal operating and capital subsidies.
Emergency Spending
A recent paper by Veronique de Rugy examines how policymakers use various budgeting gimmicks to increase spending and obscure liabilities. One particularly abusive mechanism is the designation of supplemental spending as an "emergency." The emergency designation makes it easier for policymakers to skirt budgetary rules, particularly "pay-as-you-go" (PAYGO) requirements.
GOP Spending Cap
Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee have announced support for caps on the discretionary spending portion of the federal budget. According to press reports, discretionary spending under the cap for fiscal year 2011 would be approximately $20 billion less than what the president has proposed.

Pretend Play helps Child Development
Many studies show connections between cognitive development and high-quality pretend play. Although, for many years, play has been an intrigal part of child development; latest research on the role of such play in children's cognitive, social, and academic development has been increasingly visible. There is a growing body of evidence to suggest that high-quality pretend play is an important provider of perspective taking and later abstract thought, that it may facilitate higher-level cognition, and that there are clear links between pretend play and social and linguistic competence.
Pretend play is not only an important part of a child's development, but also a very enjoyable one. Many types and shapes of toys are developed for pretend play, such as; Large Kitchen Set and Pink Retro Kitchen Set.
- backpacks
- Bounce House
- Dolls & Dollhouses
- Five for post
- kitchen set
- Tradeshows

Golden White Cloud is a striking color variation of the White Cloud Mountain Minnow. This variety displays a beautiful gold body with red markings toward the tail and on each side of the head. The Golden White Cloud is a peaceful schooling fish that adds color and energy to any freshwater community aquarium.
This hardy species is easy to care for and fairly tolerant of less-than-perfect water conditions, making it an excellent choice for beginning aquarists and children. It's important to keep this species in an aquarium with non-aggressive fish similar in size. The male Golden White Cloud is generally more brightly colored and slightly smaller than his female counterpart. When kept in schools, this species tends to display brighter coloration.

Savor the Summit, Park City's annual feast with the famous dinner table down the middle of Main Street, is coming up on June 23. For the next few weeks, I'll be writing blogs about the behind-the-scenes story of this fundraiser–how it started, how it's grown and how the @#!* they manage to serve dinner to 1,200 guests seated in the street.
During Savor the Summit, Main Street Park City expands to include the whole area. Restaurants in the rest of the town, like Silver Star Cafe and Farm at Canyons, and restaurants from miles away, like the ones at Deer Valley Resort, are an essential part of the party.
Deer Valley has had a table at Savor the Summit for years–the 2012 event will feature Chef Clark Norris and Royal Street Cafe,
Food and Beverage Director Julie Wilson, Restaurant Operations Manager Clint Strohl, Royal Street Manager Scott Meyers and Resort Pastry Chef Letty Flatt all work together to coordinate the menu, set-up and service at the event. Without a bricks-and-mortar kitchen to work out of, it's a complicated project and reservations are limited to 50 people. (Sorry, but it's already sold out.)
They plan a menu that can be prepped at the resort and finished on portable propane burners and grills that are set up in 350 Main's covered car port on Swede Alley.
Award-winning bartenders Bonnie Ulmer and September Bickmore are also integral to the event–Bonnie's RSC Rosemary Radler, a blend of fresh-squeezed rosemary lemonade, High West Vodka 7000 and Squatters Provo Girl Pilsner, will be served before dinner, along with the Flower and Pine, winning drink of the 2012 Park City Spring Cocktail Contest. It's a mix of Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur, Beefeater's Gin and St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur and tastes just like summer in the Rockies, with a buzz.
This year's menu reflects the adventurousness typical of Deer Valley's culinary team: hors d'oeuvres are bulgogi (Korean BBQ beef )in bao buns with pickled cucumbers and red peppers and RSC crawfish bisque, sautéed tail meat and citrus cream, with a finish of chive oil.
The seated dinner starts with a yellowfin tuna tostada, grilled #1 ahi, mango-avocado salsa, southwest slaw and smoked habañero aioli on crisp corn tortillas, served with a 2010 Beringer Chardonnay, goes on to an entree of Niman Ranch beef filet in a cabernet reduction with potatoes Anna (served with a 2009 Greg Norman Estates Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon, Limestone Coast, Southeast Australia) and ends with a Park City rhubarb cone–an anise pizzelle with mascarpone panna cotta, rhubarb ginger sorbet and roasted rhubarb compote.
Good luck with that. It's a long, hilarious and well-oiled meal and a tilted street–I'd leave your high heels at home.
After dinner, you may want to stroll down to the Spirit Lounge before heading to the barn. Just be glad your night doesn't end with packing a van full of dirty dishes, leftovers and portable stoves and driving up to Deer Valley for a dishwashing party, like some people.

One firearm I would like to discuss is the Rossi Wizard. I believe that we have mentioned it a little but, I would like to delve a little deeper into it. Although it would not serve as a first line defense gun, I think that there is a place for this type of weapon in a survivalists collection.
The Wizard is a single shot rifle. That means that you have to reload it one shot at a time after you shoot it. T By no means is this a rapid fire gun. But, if you are hunting or target shooting, this gun should do just fine.
The thing that I like best about this gun is that it comes in 3 rim-fire calibers (.22LR, .22 Magnum and .17 HMR). These are all good little cartridges which a survivalist could use.
It also comes in 6 shotgun gauges (.410, 28, 2X12 gauge and 2X20 gauge).
And it comes in 2 muzzle loading calibers (.45 and .50).
Best of all, it comes in 9 rifle calibers (.223, 22-250, .243, .270, .308, 30-06, 7.62X39, 35 Whelan [35-06] and 45-70).
It is also available in 3 handgun calibers (.38 Special--.357 Magnum, 44 Magnum, and .454 Casull).
The great thing about this rifle is that you can buy just the barrels in whichever calibers you desire. A person could buy one or two rifles in his favorite calibers and later purchase barrels in other calibers. And, unlike H&R/NEF, you do not have to send the gun in to have the barrels fitted. You can order the barrels locally or via mail and when they arrive, it takes a minute to change them. Currently there may be a problem. I did an on line search for extra barrels and they seem to be in short supply at this time. Midway is back-ordered on most of them.
I have heard that the 6 most popular rifle calibers in America are: .223, .243, 270, 30-30, 308and the 30-06. And, the wizard is available in 5 of them, all but the 30-30. I would like to own 2 or 3 of these guns and about 6 or 7 other calibers. I want the most popular calibers. You can almost always find ammo for them somewhere.
Another thing that I like about this gun is that all barrels come with iron sights. I will admit that my tired old eyes can use the aid of a scope, but, the irons are good to have in case that the scope breaks. Irons are good for backup.
I already have 3 H&R/NEF single shot rifles. I could send one of them back to the factory and have it fitted for the other 3 calibers that I lack. Then I would possess guns in the 6 most popular rifle calibers sold in America today.
As I said earlier, I believe that a single shot rifle would suffice for most of your needs as a survivalist. Only in a shootout with others would repeaters be more desirable.

They seem to be everywhere.
They seem to be everywhere all the time.
What I'm talking about, are the little things in life that can annoy the heck out of us. One that comes to mind, is the obsessive compulsive way that my husband does things. Not just some things, but most things…
Let's just talk about the way he puts ice in his short, stubby cocktail glass.
He walks over to the icemaker on the refrigerator door and proceeds to do the same thing with his glass and his fingers and the ice, over and over again… I sit in my chair or on the sofa quietly, and watch and wait while he heads over towards the refrigerator door. I know, as well as my name, all of the sounds that will follow. Klink, klink, klink, into the glass goes the first "layer" of ice cubes. Followed by two more cubes being allowed to enter his "cocktail glass heaven."
Next, he begins to settle the cubes that have fallen into his glass, in a way that only someone of Obsessive Compulsive Tendencies could understand. I can hear the shifting of the ice cubes in the glass. You see, it has to be that way because he will not, cannot, put another cube into the glass until he has all the first lucky pieces of ice settled in just the way that pleases him.
OK, those are in and I can now hear the ice maker releasing a couple more cubes for him to play with in his short, stubby glass. I am willing to bet that the cubes are arranged in the exact same manner each and every time he does this ritual. He does this as he stands in front of the refrigerator exactly the same at ease position that he "always" does.
Oh, the lucky ice cubes that get so much fondling, so much care and attention…
Finally he is ready to allow the drink of his choice to slowly be poured into his glass and will 100% of the time take one small sip before being seated in his favorite chair.
This little annoying behavior will repeat itself at least three more times during the evening.
And, this is only one of his annoying habits that absolutely drive me crazy!
So what's a wife to do? Perhaps when he starts doing something different, I will know that something beyond his control has occurred and he might actually need medical attention.
Until then, I guess I will put up with this one little life annoyance.
