Reviews for Southern Banana Nut Bread
"Excellent banana bread recipe. Raises nicely. The light glaze adds a touch of sweetness that is very pleasant. This is my go-to recipe for banana bread."
"With the exception of using Stevia in the place of sugar, I made this as written. My family loved it. I took the 2nd loaf to a sick friend and her family loved it. Banana bread is usually not one of my favs but even I liked it. It will definitely be a keeper in my recipe box."
"I see why this was an award winner. It is excellent. I will make this recipe from now on. Thank you for sharing."
"Absolutely delicious! I need to give away the second loaf or I will get fat. I used walnuts as I had no pecans and it was amazing."
"Wonderful banana bread that will be my go-to recipe from now on. I made these in four smaller loaf pans and they baked to perfection in 35 minutes. I'm crazy about the icing as was my family. I also like that this bread is not heavy/dense. I usually use walnuts in banana bread so the additiion of pecans was a pleasant surprise. Note: If using the substitution for cake flour, I suggest sifting the flour with the baking powder and salt so everything is distributed more evenly. I believe you'll get a better rise out of your bread if you do this (personal experience). This will be a perfect gift-giving bread because it's so pretty with the icing sprinkled with pecans."

ZF2-203: Zend\Db\Metadata\Metadata doesn't work for Postgresql databases
If you do {{new Zend\Db\Metadata\Metadata($adapter)}} and pass a PDO Adapter connected to a Postgresql database, you get an error:
{{PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'cannot create source from adapter' in vendor/ZendFramework/library/Zend/Db/Metadata/Metadata.php:74}}
This is because {{createSourceFromAdapter}} uses {{$adapter->getPlatform()->getName()}}, which for Postgresql is SQL92 and this is not an option in the switch statement. Postgresql has an information schema that provides the correct information (as far as I can tell), so you could just update the switch to use {{new Source\InformationSchemaMetadata($adapter)}} for Postgresql as well as SQLServer.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work because the queries against the information schema that are run by {{Zend\Db\Metadata\Source\InformationSchemaMetadata}} all use {{$platform->quoteIdentifier}} around the table names, column names and the schema name. This fails for Postgresql because the actual names are all lowercase, whereas they are specified in uppercase in the queries. Obviously the quoted uppercase objects don't match any objects in the database and the query fails.
There are a number of possible solutions: * Remove all the quoting from the queries. Postgresql will happily find the correct lowercase object from the unquoted uppercase name. Assuming that SQLServer (the only other database using {{Zend\Db\Metadata\Source\InformationSchemaMetadata}}) will also work like this, this seems like the best solution. This is what I have done in my fork of zf2 and I can push a branch back to GitHub and create a pull request if you want. However, I can't test against SQLServer, which is why I haven't assumed this is the preferred solution. * Leave the quoting but make all the schema, table and column names lowercase. I suspect that this would break SQLServer, although I haven't tried. * Refactor {{Zend\Db\Metadata\Source\InformationSchemaMetadata}} to allow (slightly) different queries for SQLServer and Postgresql.
If you like option 1 and I push my branch to GitHub, can someone test it against SQLServer?
After further investigation, this won't be that simple! After you remove the identifier quoting, the queries work but the metadata isn't populated because the class expects the result set to contain the uppercase column name, e.g.
if (!isset($columnByTableInfos$row['TABLE_NAME']])) {
$columnByTableInfos[$row['TABLE_NAME']] = array();
Therefore, we either need a separate Source\Pgsql or we need to allow the case folding to be configured.
In any case, it would be useful if {{Metadata\Metadata}} allowed a source to be injected (as implied by the [RFC so that we could provide a customized one if necessary (I've got my own schema metadata tables with more details than information_schema, e.g. prompt, is_displayed, display_type, etc.
The problem continues in the SELECT because Zend/Db uses quotes to define it:
LINE 1: SELECT "zf2tutorial.album".* FROM "zf2tutorial.album" ^ I tested the line in postgres and the error is for the quotes.
Fixed in beta5.

|Vandals Drop Road Opener
OGDEN, Utah—The University of Idaho could not contain the spark of the Weber State offense, dropping its first game of the season 3-0 this afternoon. The game was scheduled for a 2:00 p.m. PT start but the teams were forced to clear the field for 30 minutes due to a lightning delay.
"Unfortunately for us I think lightning struck more than once today," head coach Pete Showler said. "We knew we would take some lumps and bumps early on, playing some tough games and we found that out today. We will learn from our mistakes and move on to next game. We just need to take care of what we can control."
Weber State (1-0-0) controlled the tempo of the game from the beginning. The Wildcats totaled 27 shots with 13 of those shots finding their way to keepers Marina Siegl and Torell Stewart. Idaho (0-0-1) managed just two shots on net.
The first 24 minutes went by scoreless. In the 25th minute Weber State notched the game winner off the foot of Stacy Bair from 15 yards out. WSU added two more goals in the second half from Sarah Thurston and Mackenzie Day to secure the lead and the match.
The Vandals came out much more aggressive in the second half but were unable to get any offensive momentum. Idaho will look to even out the road trip on Sunday as it faces Idaho State. Kickoff from Pocatello will be at 11:00 a.m. PT.

A study released by the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation says immigrants are having a positive impact on Arkansas through their investments in communities and economic productivity.
The report — called "A Profile of Immigrants in Arkansas 2013" — was released Tuesday by the Little Rock-based organization.
It says that for every dollar the state spent on services to immigrant households, it received $7 in immigrant business revenue and tax contributions in 2010. The report says the economic contribution of immigrants to the state in 2010 was $3.9 billion.
The study also says immigrants represent a small but growing part of Arkansas' population with immigrants making up about 5 percent of Arkansas' 2.9 million residents. That's less than half the national average of 13 percent of the population.

Skin with a high propensity for redness, tightness, itching—and occasional burning—is usually considered sensitive. Why does skin become fussy? There are a number of reasons: genetic predisposition to allergies, overuse of products with too many active ingredients and in some cases the onset of adult rosacea. So your goal is to fight the signs of aging without causing any surface flare-ups.
Cleanse Although it seems counterintuitive (since a thorough cleansing sounds like a recipe for ouch!), it is especially important that you wash very well at day's end, as oil and makeup can further irritate your skin. But choose a cleansing formula that is mild (think cream or mousse or gentle gels) and "avoid water that is too hot," cautions Brandt. Then, when you're finished, pat your face dry—never rub. Use am and pm.
Hydrate Your main objective? To baby your face—literally. Go for a simple, nonallergenic moisturizer; Jaliman recommends baby lotions, which tend to be pure and fragrance free. Use am only.
Protect UV rays can trigger inflammation, upping your skin's already sensitive state. To combat this, you must use a sunscreen every day—but steer clear of chemical sun blocks, as they are more likely than a physical blocker to cause irritation. "Look for the words titanium or zinc oxide on the label. Also, as a bonus, these ingredients not only block the sun; they actually help soothe inflammation," says Kolker. Use am only.
Treat If your skin is very sensitive (it gets inflamed if you so much as look at a tube of Retin-A), you need to build up your skin's barrier layer before you can try any active anti-aging products. For at least three weeks, use nothing at night but a moisturizer that contains ceramides, which fill in gaps in your skin's barrier layer, preventing moisture loss—and keeping irritants out. Then, once your skin tone is less red and prone to stinging flare-ups, you can dip your toes in the anti-aging pool. You should probably steer clear of vitamin A derivatives (Retin-A, retinol) and deep exfoliators, such as glycolic and salicylic acid, since they have the potential to irritate. Better bets: gentle products with peptides to boost collagen production. Use pm only.
If you're totally willing to pull out all the stops—and soothe sensitive skin faster—follow the Sensitive Minimalist regimen, then weave in these additional treatments.
Camouflage Redness To conceal redness during the day, top your sunscreen with a sheer green-color correcting lotion. If that leaves behind a tinge of green (hello, Wicked Witch of the West), just color-correct by smoothing on your favorite tinted moisturizer or foundation. Use am only.
Exfoliate Carefully Sensitive skin can't handle harsh chemical peels. So once a week, use a mild physical scrub made out of almond husk, papaya or rice, says Kolker. "This will gently slough off dead cells, and you can control the pressure you put on your skin so you can use less where you are most delicate," he says. Or go for a gentle exfoliating enzyme, which dissolves dead cells, making them easier to splash away. Use as needed.
Mask Soreness Soothe and brighten your skin once a week with a homemade mask consisting of equal parts avocado and full-fat yogurt, plus a tiny bit of honey, suggests Ellen Marmur, MD, associate professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Manhattan. "You will get slight exfoliation from the lactic acid in the yogurt plus some anti-inflammatory soothing, while the avocado is full of lipids [which help your compromised skin barrier], and the honey fights bacteria." Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse clean with warm water. Use as needed.

Updated: February 14, 2012 Satisfy your appetite for dark, dystopian romance with Hunger Game read-a-likes
The Hunger Games, the first book in a post-apocalyptic trilogy by author Suzanne Collins, grabbed readers' attention when it was published in 2008 and hasn't let go since. Grim and futuristic, it introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a competitor in a fight-to-the-death televised battle that pits teen against teen. The Hunger Games, which was followed by Catching Fire (2009) and Mockingjay (2010), became a publishing phenomenon that's been translated into 26 different languages. Next up is a feature film (with a screenplay that's also written by Collins) scheduled for release next month.
A Conversation with Suzanne Collins, author of The Hunger Games
Curious about the author of The Hunger Games? Learn more about Suzanne Collins, her inspirations and the link between reality television and her books in this interview from Scholastic, Inc.
Q: You weave action, adventure, mythology, sci-fi, romance and philosophy throughout The Hunger Games. What influenced the creation of The Hunger Games?A: A significant influence would have to be the Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur. The myth tells how in punishment for past deeds, Athens periodically had to send seven youths and seven maidens to Crete, where they were thrown in the Labyrinth and devoured by the monstrous Minotaur.
Even as a kid, I could appreciate how ruthless this was. Crete was sending a very clear message: "Mess with us and we'll do something worse than kill you. We'll kill your children." And the thing is, it was allowed; the parents sat by powerless to stop it. Theseus, who was the son of the king, volunteered to go. I guess in her own way, Katniss is a futuristic Theseus.
In keeping with the classical roots, I send my tributes into an updated version of the Roman gladiator games, which entails a ruthless government forcing people to fight to the death as popular entertainment. The world of Panem, particularly the Capitol, is loaded with Roman references. Panem itself comes from the expression "Panem et Circenses" which translates into "Bread and Circuses."
The audiences for both the Roman games and reality TV are almost characters in themselves. They can respond with great enthusiasm or play a role in your elimination.
I was channel surfing between reality TV programming and actual war coverage when Katniss's story came to me. One night I'm sitting there flipping around and on one channel there's a group of young people competing for, I don't know, money maybe? And on the next, there's a group of young people fighting an actual war. And I was tired, and the lines began to blur in a very unsettling way, and I thought of this story.
Q: The Hunger Games is an annual televised event in which one boy and one girl form each of the twelve districts is forced to participate in a fight-to-the-death on live TV. What do you think the appeal of reality television is – to both kids and adults?A: Well, they're often set up as games and, like sporting events, there's an interest in seeing who wins. The contestants are usually unknown, which makes them relatable. Sometimes they have very talented people performing.
Then there's the voyeuristic thrill – watching people being humiliated or brought to tears, or suffering physically – which I find very disturbing. There's also the potential for desensitizing the audience, so that when they see real tragedy playing out on say, the news, it doesn't have the impact it should.
Q: The Hunger Games tackles issues like severe poverty, starvation, oppression and the effects of war among others. What drew you to such a serious subject matter?A: That was probably my dad's influence. He was career Air Force, a military specialist, a historian and a doctor of political science. When I was a kid, he was gone for a year in Vietnam. It was very important to him that we understood about certain aspects of life. So it wasn't enough to visit a battlefield, we needed to know why the battle occurred, how it played out and the consequences. Fortunately, he had a gift for presenting history as a fascinating story. He also seemed to have a good sense of exactly how much a child could handle, which is quite a bit.
Q: Was The Hunger Games always planned as a trilogy?A: Not necessarily. But once I'd thought through to the end of the first book, I realized that there was no way that the story was concluded. Katniss does something that would never go unpunished in her world. There would definitely be repercussions. And so the question of whether or not to continue with the series was answered for me.
Q: What do you hope readers will come away with when they read this trilogy?A: Questions about how elements of the book might be relevant in their own lives. And, if they're disturbing, what they might do about them.

Both styles feature bikes that share similar traits and designs, but like all racing bikes the BMX racing bike is lighter and has a slimmer frame. When purchasing a racing bike, a rider should look for frame size and weight, but also extraneous add-ons that add weight to the bike (like pegs or hub guards).

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Saltine Wonderful glasses! These glasses are adorable. I first saw them at my sister-in-law's house and wanted them instantly. The design is delicate and subtle. In order to wash them by hand, a bottle brush would be necessary to use. July 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by AL From everyday to dinner parties I bought these glasses 2 years or so ago and I am so happy to see them online. I rarely "fall in love" with items, but I must admit these glasses does it all for me. They are great for daily dinners to acting as a showpiece on my table as we have guests over. I think they are well done, sophisticated looking, great price, and really no frill. They add just the right touch to the table and we always gets compliments. No noe would ever know that these are just a few dollars a piece. May 31, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mojito Mama So cute for summer cocktails: mojitos I saw something very similar when out at a restaurant. They were serving mojitos in them. I had to have one. When I saw these glasses I bought them for our summer cocktails. But my daughter loves them for her soda too. Just makes your drink a little on the fancier side over an every day glass. So far holding up well in dishwasher but only a few washings. May 5, 2011

As seen on Nat Geo WILD.
Sale Price:
In the Everglades' Big Cypress Swamp, more than 1,600 animals roam wild on thousands of acres in a park run by the Seminole tribe of Florida. Best described as controlled chaos, the Billie Swamp Safari offers visitors face-to-face encounters with ostriches, American bison, African elan, wild alligators, venomous snakes, wild hogs, raccoons, and virtually every other animal found near the swamp. The goal is to immerse visitors in the wild, in accordance with the Seminoles' love of harmony with nature, but sometimes these close encounters can mean trouble for people and wildlife. It's up to the park's director, Ed Woods, and his tough team of self-described Swamp Men to patrol the land, relocate animals from dangerous situations, and rescue animals in need.
Ride along with Ed and his staff as they work to maintain safety at the Safari. They are considered among the best wild animal wranglers, and each day brings new tests of their skills with bears, alligators, wild hogs, and panthers that inhabit the Everglades. Ed's dedicated staff includes Paul, expert alligator catcher; Cory, animal trapper; and newbies Matt, Lawrence, and Shea. All share a passion for wildlife and a willingness to get down and dirty, as they face new swamp adventures every day.

NO I feel the case should have enough capacity to meet the needs I have in mind for this round and I want all the wall thickness I can get for head spacing of the mouth. the 44??? is over 1/2" longer than a 44 mag with a larger case OD at the base. IT should be plenty. My goal is 1800to1900 FPS this is only a rough guess but is based on what other simular rounds do. I am expecting a case capicty of aproximently 53-55 GR,s. this should make it a very capiable deer hunting round my intended purpose, and knock down what ever doors and walls and water jugs and dirt clods the Rambo guys think they need.Quote:
Are you going to ream the inside to get more powder capacity?
I have a very nice tig welder so if I want to use aluminumit will be ok. I also have about 10 of the steel mags that tapco had so cheap back when.Quote:
Also, I used steel mags and was able to spot weld the locking lugs. Not sure if aluminum brazing would work for the alloy mags. Something to think about.
As far as the mags go check this out here is the 44???? in a FAL mag. If cut down they would be almost perfict. (see next post for pics)
As far as brass goes here is some that will require no fire forming or expanding. little pricey but If you wanted to skip ma few steps it would be ideal it nalso has more case capicty due to thinner walls. it is 30-06 or whelin basic.

The pound hit a fresh 31-year low of 1.3209 against the dollar as UK bank and non-multinational stocks took a pummelling. There is also what seems now to be a consensus view that the BoE will cut interest rates by a quarter point by August, if not at the MPC meeting in July. This would take the repo rate to 0.25%, which would be a new record low. The dollar and yen remained the preferred currency safe havens, against which sterling, the euro, commodity ... Read More ►

Hannah Large Semi-Flush Mount Item # A3760
Classic Semi-Flush Ceiling Fixture
Customize This Product
To make shopping even easier, we've renamed some of our fixtures. They're now grouped into families so you can find coordinating pieces at a glance.
Of our Classic Porcelain family, the Hannah could be considered the magnum opus. It is certainly the largest, at more than a foot across with the shade shown here. We love how its generous scale transforms a straightforward design into a showpiece.
When we decided to re-create these classic porcelain fixtures, we were thrilled to be able to go across town to a local studio. Using American clay and professional artists, they painstakingly reconstructed the originals (it took two months to get the glaze color and sheen just right!). That attention to detail and respect for traditional craft come through in every piece.

text: Thank you. I'm Marv Stuart Hyman. I've been Curtis Mayfield's manager, partner, and friend for 30 years. Standing next to me is his love - the woman who's stood by him, cared for him since the day of the accident and well before that, Altheda Mayfield, Mrs. Curtis Mayfield. And representing all of his children is Mr. Shay Mayfield. Curtis was honored a few years ago when he was inducted with the Impressions. The honor that you bestowed upon him tonight moved him a great deal. As of Thursday, he was coming in to be the recipient of this award. Unfortunately, with his medical condition, and some setbacks, he couldn't attend. But he wanted me to say the following things. First of all, he wants to thank the recording industry, Warner Brothers Records for all their love and support, BMI, Francis Preston, and his fans, who have made it all possible. The artists, through the years, who have recorded his music, that have kept his music alive the last nine years, with the evolution of hip-hop and rap, all of you that have sampled his music, from Coolio to Dr. Dre, Tupak, Puff Daddy, Lauryn Hill, who just mixed and did a duet with Mr. Mayfield - all of you have made his life worthwhile. I said to Curtis, "There's nothing I can say with the circumstances [that] befell you." He says, "Don't feel sorry for me; it could've happened to anybody. I was just there." It's his music that goes on. Bruce Springsteen, whom you're honoring tonight, and Eric Clapton, who you'll hear from in a minute, are two special people who Curtis wanted me to personally thank. They were the first two artists to join and be part of a tribute album of Curtis' music. Eric Clapton has been behind Curtis, has spoken for Curtis, and has done a tremendous amount of things from day one since his accident, probably way before that, and for that he sends his love. All I can say to all of you in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: thank you - thank you for honoring my friend while his eyes are still open.

A Loophole in Time
by Diane Ackerman
I've heeded all sorts of alarm clocks: the jangling hammer and bell of a moonfaced metal demon, the buzz saw that chews dreams apart, the menacing pings that rival a dump truck backing up, the ascending shriek of a digital banshee, an iPhone's polite din and that old two-timer, the snooze alarm. Jarred awake, I'd feel rushed before my feet hit the ground, spurred on by obligations—work to do, appointments to make, promises to keep, planes to catch.What all alarm clocks have in common is a swift kick in the sleep, a way to grab you by the nerve endings and yell, "Rush, rush! You're nearly late!" The name says it all: An "alarm" clock is time's enforcer rubbing in just how harried, overworked and overcommitted you truly feel. The whole point is discomfort, and kowtowing to our homegrown gods of chronicity, even though a different kind of time, seasonal time, surrounds us, whispering on a far more ancient level straight into every cell and bone.
But alarm clocks changed for me after my husband had a stroke several years ago and could no longer speak. Click here to read more.
In the Now
by Marcia Menter
I'm not going to be so melodramatic as to say my time is running out, but every look in the mirror tells me I'm entering the latter part of my life. I've been flirting with a major dermatological intervention. But no laser can change the fact that my wonderful 27-year marriage has flashed by in about 10 minutes or that I know a disturbing number of people my age with wonky knees, hips or backs (including me). The years I've lived are not gone. They're all over my face and body. Furthermore, my life experiences, most of which I've forgotten, are still humming in my nervous system, affecting my perception of every new experience. When I hear the next-to-last Beethoven piano sonata, I hear it as the dozens of different women I was when I heard the piece before, and before, and before. My whole life flashes before my ears.
So my time is running out, because that's what time does. And I'm still (as I've been for decades) obsessed with trying to be present for my own life, even though that's like trying to catch the current of a river with your hands as it carries you downstream, toward the falls.
As time pushes me relentlessly onward, I skitter around like a cat in a glass-bottomed boat: Something is holding me up, but I'm damned if I can figure out what it is or get a foothold. In this state of intermittent existential terror, I rush and rush to get things done. But I already know—though I keep forgetting—that the way to stop being overwhelmed by the flow of time is to step outside it, and that one of the simplest, most practical ways to do this is through mindfulness meditation, or vipassana. I'm returning to this practice after a lapse of some years. Now I remember why I need it.
Rhythm of the Day
by Kathleen Norris
The first time I went on a monastic retreat, nearly 30 years ago, I accompanied a friend and her seven-year-old daughter, who had requested the weekend excursion as a First Communion gift. I had just begun attending church (Presbyterian) after a long lapse, was feeling tired and wanted to get out of town. (Monasteries often accommodate guests, and they don't mind if you are not religious.) I brought along writing projects to work on, so I was relieved to discover that guests at Assumption Abbey, where we would be staying, were not obliged to attend the monks' daily prayers at morning, noon and night. The constant interruptions would surely distract me from my work, I thought, dicing my day like an onion. But I soon found that I got the most work done when I experienced the abbey's full liturgy, day in, day out. The routine establishes a powerful rhythm, and when there are set times for prayer, work and recreation, it's easy to work during the work periods. In that monastery I began to believe that there is actually enough time in a day.
The Richness of Empty Evenings
by Jenny Allen
I live alone. These things happen. Your children grow up, your husband leaves, and then you are a household of one. This is a happy story, I promise, but I do need to say this: Get ready, ladies. You may be next. And if and when you are, please, please try to remember what I am telling you now. You know how you never have enough time? You will have it. The very thing, that precious, out-of-reach, gleaming pot of gold you have been longing for! You will even have time on your hands. If you are wise, you will see it as a gift. If you are like me, you will have to do some stumbling around to get there.
Like so much in life, this story is about dinner. Dinner was how I spent almost 30 years of my life—making dinner, serving dinner and eating dinner with my family. Slipping chopped carrots into the meat loaf so that vegetables would be represented in the meal. Guiding dinner table conversation so that it yielded something loftier than burp jokes. And then, after dinner, overseeing homework, making sure children went to bed at a decent hour. It was the life I had chosen, and I think I was good at it, and most of the time I loved it. So when this ritual ended, I was totally unprepared for the expanse of time it left behind. With a few exceptions, I hadn't spent an evening alone since my twenties. And now I had this huge hole where dinnertime used to be, this gaping Grand Canyon in which nothing was expected of me. Good Lord, what was I supposed to do?

ZF-5131: Zend_Date::setLocale() casts locale object to string which fails in PHP <5.2
Zend_Date::setLocale() casts the given locale to a string before assigning it to the private $_locale member, ie.
$this->_locale = (string) $locale;
In PHP versions prior to 5.2 (such as that shipped with RHEL5), casting an object to a string returns something like "Object id #xx" as the magic __toString() method fails to execute in such instances.
I'm not sure what other ZF components fail to work correctly in PHP <5.2 however the choice to use a cast rather than an explicit method call strikes me as rather odd. I can't tell what type of member $_locale is meant to be (its docblock is missing) but the requirement appears to be for a string. In that case, why not at least make this part more portable and use something like
$this->_locale = $locale->toString();
This is the only thing I've noticed so far preventing us from upgrading to 1.7.
The minimum requirements for ZF >= 1.7 are 5.2.4... for ZF < 1.7 are 5.1.4

With just about exactly a month left until the conference, I'm hearing requests from volunteers and attendees to talk about room sharing. The Sheraton Hotel is not yet sold out, and the surrounding hotels are also offering special rates for attendees, so there are plenty of options for sharing a room with someone else coming to the conference.
This blog is a good place to start! If you'd like to share a room, or you have a room already and have space to share, leave a comment at the end of this post. Hopefully we can connect a few like-minded individuals and help save some money!

looking for a roomie
I am going to be volunteering at the conference both Friday and Saturday (all day) and need someone willing to take me in for both nights.
I am an early riser (4:30 or 5 am normally)- and early to bed. (I usually crash by 9 pm unless I have a mid afternoon rest). I am quiet and NEED quiet/dark when I'm resting.
I can contribute to the cost, and am looking to share a room with just one other person. So if you are female, quiet, and don't mind a roomie who scoots out at 5 am to go to the gym downstairs let me know.
Anonymous replied on Permalink
I am female, quiet, and your polar opposite about time. So if you wouldn't mind my scooting IN at 10 or 11 . . .My room is at the Sheraton, 2 queen beds, Thurs, Fri and Sat nights. A reply to my email address would get my attention sooner than posting here . . . Barbara

PS My email address doesn't seem to appear on the blog: it's email@example.com if other females are looking for roomies and our first post-er finds someone equally insane (morning riser), maybe that would work instead. Barbara

desperately seeking roomie
I'm in dire straights. I am a volunteer at the conference and still need someone to share a room with me - and time is running out. I can contribute a bit to the cost but there are two reasons I volunteer - one is the amazing folks that come to this conference as speakers/authors/agents/editors. The second is that being a volunteer is the only way I can afford to come at all. I'm not asking for a free ride - but am hoping to connect with another woman who keeps somewhat early hours (though I can stay up a bit late, I am not a night owl and do not stay up all night chatting or typing) who would not mind a very quiet, mostly invisible roomie for a couple of days. Thanks

Davidson County may avoid worst of winter storm
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 4:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 4:32 p.m.
Meteorologists with the National Weather Service in Raleigh say Davidson County could receive a dusting of snow Saturday afternoon.
An upper level disturbance is expected to track east through the Carolinas over the weekend, bringing the possibility for precipitation and a potential changeover to snow.
County residents shouldn't expect a lot of accumulation, said Gail Hartfield, a meteorologist with NWS.
"Half an inch on the grass and that's about the most to expect," Hartfield said.
Light precipitation should start about dawn, and the key time for wintery precipitation will be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Hartfield said.
The high temperature Saturday is expected to be 42 degrees with a nighttime low of about 23 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Although light accumulation of snow is possible anywhere across central North Carolina, the best chance for more significant accumulations will be north and east of Raleigh, Hartfield said. Those areas could see two or more inches.

The panel was comprised of trustees for the WMRA, including Mark Seltenrich of Park City, Diana Mathias from Vail, Brett Williams from Lake Tahoe, Ray Longmuir from Whistler, BC and Jim Figge from Sun Valley.
"Things are going in the right direction," Seltenrich said. "Our real estate markets have recovered, but everybody was kind of heading in that direction, so it was no surprise."
The WMRA was founded in 1996 after former Park City Board of Realtors president Dennis Hanley - moderator of the panel - realized after talking to other boards of Realtors all over the country, Park City had more in common with other destination resort areas than with other cities in Utah.
What began as the Rocky Mountain Resort Alliance branched out to also include Whistler in British Columbia and ski towns in California's Sierra Mountains. The alliance gathers once a year to talk about their different area markets and things that are going on in their communities that might affect the other resort towns.
Seltenrich of Prudential Real Estate said holding these annual meetings benefits Realtors by knowing how other resort town markets are doing. He said most people that come here to visit have also visited some, if not all, of the other areas in the alliance.
"Sometimes buyers are trying to decide, 'If I want to buy a second home, where do I want to do that? What is an advantage of one area over another?'" Seltenrich said.
He added that last year's national averages in property median prices experienced anywhere from a 9 to 13 percent increase. Several resorts saw that kind of double-digit increase, like Tahoe, which experienced a 20 percent increase.
While Park City only saw a 7 percent increase, below the national average, Seltenrich said that is because prices for homes in Park City are much higher than the national median price.
"It is easier to go from $200,000 to $220,000. That is a $20,000 price bump as well as a 10 percent increase," Seltenrich said. "If we start at $700,000, we would have to increase [the sale price] to $770,000, a $70,000 increase, to experience a 10 percent increase."
He attributed Tahoe's double-digit increase to the fact that their prices were more depressed than other resort areas in the WMRA, and they have "more lower-end, affordable properties" for sale.
Jackson Hole also did well, which Seltenrich said is due to the fact that they have a small area and real estate market. Ninety-four percent of the county Jackson Hole is located in is federal land, so only 6 percent of the entire county can be developed. That causes prices to be higher, since inventory is scarce.
Seltenrich said he is optimistic that WMRA resort area real estate markets in 2014 will continue to be strong and may actually continue to increase by the way of price by the end of the year.
Vail used to be the "big boy on the block," he said, but Vail and Park City have now traded places as far as number of transactions and total dollar volume. Seltenrich said he believes Park City will continue to fare well compared to the other resorts, but no matter which area people live in, they are all great towns.
"Miles Rademan likes to say, 'If you're lucky enough to live in Park City, you're lucky enough,'" he said. "I say, 'If you're lucky enough to live in any of these destination resort towns, then you're lucky enough.' Every resident of all these different resort towns has a good life."

The Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization is looking for public input on a number of proposed changes to its Transportation Improvement Program for fiscal years 2014-2017.
Changes to the TIP warrant a minimum 30-day public review and comment period, which will begin Sept. 4-Oct. 4. There are eight proposed TIP amendments, totaling approximately $4 million. Six changes involve bridge repairs in Kent County and two involve transit. The proposed bridge maintenance and repairs, which would cost around $2.9 million in total, are for bridges at Little Creek Road, Irish Hill Road, Spider Web Road, West Railroad Avenue, and two at Canterbury Road.
One of the proposed amendments for transit would add an extra bus to the Dover/Smyrna DART Route 120 at a cost of $865,000. The other transit-related TIP amendment would add $250,000 for parking lot maintenance at the Delaware Transit Corporation maintenance and operations facility behind the Delaware Department of Transportation building in Dover.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Pests & Problems
Those Pest-y Houseplants
by Charlie Nardozzi
When the outdoor winter landscape turns drab in most areas of the country, it's nice to have lush, tropical houseplants growing indoors to brighten your mood. Keeping houseplants growing well in winter can be a challenge, especially in cold climates. Many of them have tropical bloodlines; most grow best in areas with warm temperatures and high humidity -- neither of which is in abundance indoors. When a houseplant is struggling in the wrong growing environment, other problems, such as pests, can take over. Insects can thrive on stressed plants, especially where there is a natural lack of predators. Not only are the pests harmful to your plants, the exudates from their feeding can cause damage to rugs, floors, and furniture.
Although there are numerous pesticides on the market to control houseplant pests, many gardeners are leery of spraying harmful chemicals indoors. Fortunately, there are ways to control the insects without resorting to harmful sprays. The first step is creating a "houseplant friendly" environment in your home.
Imitating the Humid Tropics
Most foliage houseplants prefer a warm, humid environment. While it's possible to heat your houseplant-filled room to the 70° to 80° F. range they like, the result will be a drier environment. As temperatures climb above 67° F, air humidity levels drop dramatically. Unless you have a humidifier to keep the humidity at the 40 to 50 percent range, it's better to keep the room on the cool side (60° to 70° F) in winter to keep the humidity higher. However, don't allow the temperature to go below 60° F since some houseplants, such as African violets and gardenias, may stop flowering and drop leaves.
Another way to increase humidity is to group houseplants together and place them on a tray filled with 1 to 2 inches of crushed stones. Keep water in the tray below the bottom of the pots. The water will evaporate and provide humidity.
Let There be Light
While many houseplants grow as understory plants in subtropical and tropical forests, they require more intense lighting in winter in our temperate climate. Plants not receiving enough light will produce tall, leggy growth and dull, pale leaves. Keep plants growing well by placing them near a sunny window or door, but away from cold drafts. Consider using full spectrum or halide lights to provide the light intensity and duration that plants need.
Watering and Washing
Periodically washing leaves to remove dust, and allowing some air (not cold air) movement around plants will improve plant growth and also reduce the number of insects that call your plants home. Tropicals grow more slowly during these darker months, so they need less water and can become stressed from overwatering, which causes brown leaf tips, leaf drop, and wilting. Plants also need less fertilizer because they are growing more slowly. Excess fertilizer causes succulent growth -- a magnet for aphids and other sucking insects.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Biomatrica and the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) focused on the development, validation, and potential commercialization of technologies for maintaining the stability of clinical and biological samples at room temperature.
The CRADA follows on from preliminary evaluation of Biomatrica's stabilization reagents by USAMRIID, which the firm says has shown particular promise in stabilizing biological samples for diagnostics. Ongoing research will focus on new formulations that would be of particular benefit to the U.S. military. "We are very excited to see the application and use of our technologies within the U.S. military and are looking forward to getting some of these new technologies commercialized for broader use in clinical and diagnostic research that also has an immediate benefit to molecular diagnostics and the field of personalized medicine," remarks Rolf Muller, Ph.D., Biomatrica's president and CSO.
Biomatrica's SampleMatrix® platform has been developed to enable the stabilization and protection of biological materials at room temperature without degradation. The platform combines the biology of extremophile organisms, which can exist in extremely dry conditions, with synthetic chemistry. The firm claims its platform has wide-ranging applications in the biotech, pharma, and diagnostics industries.
The SampleMatrix technology effectively preserves samples through the formation of a protective thermo-stable barrier during a simple air-drying process, effectively "shrink-wrapping" the sample and protecting it against degradation from heat and UV light until ready for use, Biomatrix claims. Aqueous samples are applied directly to the matrix and air dried at room temperature, which activates formation of the protective SampleMatrix barrier. Importantly, the barrier is designed to completely dissolve within minutes during sample rehydration, enabling the complete and rapid recovery of samples without degradation or loss of biological activity. The recovered samples can then be used directly for downstream applications without further purification.
Biomatrica has exploited the technology to develop product ranges spanning preanalytics, nucleic acid stabilization, assay enhancers, laboratory sample management and storage accessories, as well as custom products and solutions.
In March the firm announced a technology collaboration with SAIC-Frederick focused on developing better processes for the isolation and preservation of nucleic acids from tumor samples collected by pathologists in the clinic. Under the collaboration, SAIC-Frederick researchers at the Laboratory Animal Sciences Program will explore integration of proprietary reagents from Biomatrica into molecular pathology workflows. The objective is to streamline processes while increasing efficiency and integrity of RNA isolated from histological samples in cancer studies. The collaboration was established under the Advanced Technology Partnerships Initiative of the National Cancer Institute.

Rearing Godly Kids
By Rebecca Teti
Monday: Parenting
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
Terrible toddlers? Trying teens? Something in between? This weekly forum is the spot to share your questions and struggles about all things related to parenthood.
Please join us!
Just wanted to say I appreciate the community here at Coffee Talk. I missed it over at the F&F blog, but have recently found it over here. Thank you all for your insightful comments and keep the comments coming! My question is: My daughter is 7 and loves the Magic Tree House chapter books. Are there any good Catholic chapter books similar to these? Thanks!
Asking for prayers regarding my son's preschool graduation on Wednesday. I know I'm being a big baby, but I'm really struggling with this. I waited my whole life to have a baby and I love the infant/toddler/preschool years, and now they're ending. And he's the only baby I'll ever have. I absolutely love his preschool and will miss it so much.
Oh, Claire, you're not being a big baby. You're being a mommy. My oldest is 16 now and I've loved watching him grow. And I miss every age that has passed for him. But I also love these teenage years. (so far!) So while you'll miss those innocent, sweet years, the ones to come are so much fun, too. Many blessings for you and for your son as you journey through his life. I will keep you in my prayers.
Thank you for understanding, KMB. It's good to hear that you're enjoying the teenage years. That gives me hope!
Claire, I think the ages of 5 - 10 are the golden years of childhood. I am sad because my youngest is 11 and he is starting to lose interest in a lot of fun childhood experiences like going to the playground, doing arts and crafts, etc. But on the plus side, older kids can do things along side the parents that little kids can't handle. They give a closer to equal challenge when playing family games (we don't have to let them win or give handicaps anymore). My husband plays sports with my teen at an equal level which creates bonding and gives them exercise. You can talk to them about so many more things in life, without talking down to them. So there are things I am sorry to leave behind but there are always new things to replace those. The most important thing is to have an attitude of living in the present.
You are so right Monica, and living in the moment is something that I struggle greatly with. I really need to make it a priority.
Blessings to you, Claire. I've enjoyed virtual community with you over the years with f and f. You are not a baby! I agee with the poster who said 5-10 are the golden years, but that doesn't mean we don't miss earlier ages. My three-year-old daughter is a delight, but I will always look back on her nursing years with wistfulness.
Thank you Kelly! I miss seeing you on the old F&F, but I continue to follow your blog. I can't believe your little one is three already! It is comforting to know that the next stage is a good one, though.
We are new to Florida after my husband moved us all here. I have my child in grade 4 which here is the last grade in our local elementary public school. I don't know. Here on the last day of grade 5, the children in public school go to Walt Disney World's EPCOT as an educational event and to celebrate the finishing of their elementary school years. What do you think of this? They have fundraisers to raise money for this trip which includes a two hour bus ride. in a motorcoach and lunch and pocket money for souvenirs. I am to go with him. I am so happy this is going to happen. There are many educational things at EPCOt part of Disney, which does this for all grade five kids throughout the state here. Posted on Jun 5th, 2013 at 8:22 AM by unknown Should I go back to homeschooling and why??????:??:??? High and middle school they do even more than this. I am afraid. I know we shouldn't fear going outside our door because God is everywhere. Posted on Jun 5th, 2013 at 8:25 AM by unknownPosted on Jun 5th, 2013 at 9:29 AM by unknown

Attempted carjacking reported at 13th and Wooster streets
Published: Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 9:34 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 5, 2013 at 9:34 a.m.
A Wilmington driver thwarted an armed carjacking Thursday morning by pulling a weapon of his own, according to police.
The victim called 911 at 12:34 a.m. to report he was sitting at the stoplight at 13th and Wooster streets with his arm out the window when someone grabbed his arm, said Wilmington Police Department spokeswoman Linda Rawley. When the victim looked, a man, armed with a small silver handgun, demanded his truck.
"The victim advised he pulled out his own pistol and pointed it at the suspect, and they fled on foot," Rawley said.
The victim then drove to Wooster and Third streets where he called 911.
The armed suspect is described as a dark-skinned black man, with long dreadlocks, in his early to mid-20s, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds. He was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt.
The second suspect is described as a slender man, wearing a brown shirt and blue jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to call 343-3609. As always, anyone with information on this or any crimes can anonymously submit a tip through Text-A-Tip. Send "Tip708" and the information to 274637 (CRIMES)

"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
everyone associated with the EU gets 0.017p
Must be a slow year
What in the fuck
Why award the peace prize to a union that has bankrupted several countries and bloated itself to breaking point?
i think its okay for them to have it, they've done good work over the decades unifying europe. they just picked the worst time possible to award it.
Kirby what did Stalin have to do with Europe? He abused a few eastern European countries that bordered Russia. Hitler got his dick right in Poland, Austria, Germany, Italy, Finland, Holland, France, Czechz, Slovakia, Belguim, Greece etc. Fuck, even Yugoslavia, Russia and a bunch of other soviet satellite countries as well.
The truth is the European Union was fantastic when it was just a trade thing between a bunch of NATO countries. What it is now is a bloated mess of broken economies governed by a one currency system that from the start was never sustainable and countries that have long since lost the desire to see a unified Europe and only stick with it because the governments of said countries get a shitload of cash pay outs from the EU whereas working men and women all over Europe, given the vote, would abolish the EU tomorrow. The only things they've really unified us on is debt and a mutual hatred for the EU as it is.
Also Stalanism lasted for a very short time. National Socialism is alive and well today, 70 years on. Stalanism isn't.

Mary Anne and Will Schwalbe shared an enviably close mother-son relationship that became that much closer after Mary Anne was diagnosed, at 73, with inoperable pancreatic cancer. A remarkable woman (she had been director of admissions at Harvard and Radcliffe, head of a private school in Manhattan and an effective activist as well as a wife and mother), Mary Anne was determined, in the limited time she had left, to live as she always had: savoring and making the best use of every moment, remembering that life is a privilege and responsibility. As Will accompanied her to chemo and doctors' appointments, mother and son read together—everything from Wallace Stegner to Herman Wouk to Ishmael Beah—forming a book club of two. The meditations that grew out of their reading are the basis of The End of Your Life Book Club (Knopf), a gentle, searingly moving memoir, at once a love letter and a generous, incisive set of instructions not about how to die but about how to live.

Nonproprietary process removes all water contaminants
The Reno-Stead Wastewater Treatment Plant's 2 mgd aertion basins provide biological treatment to remove organic and total nitrogen loads.
The plant's secondary clarifiers are used for gravity separation of solids and clarified effluent from the aeration basins.
Filtered and ozonated water goes to a custom-made 10.7 gpm WesTech Engineering biological activated carbon (BAC) filter unit that treats the water via microorganisms grown on the filter medium.
Studying emerging contaminants requires ultraclean sampling techniques that avoid tainting by introducing new contaminants from the surrounding environment.
Secondary treated effluent goes through a 25 gpm WesTech Engineering ultrafiltration system featuring membranes with 0.01-micron pores.
Filtered water goes to a 4 lb./day liquid-oxygen ozonation system made by APTwater Inc. The serpentine piping provides the contact time reuired downstream of ozone injection.
One contaminant of emerging concern (CAC) is ethynylestradiol , a man-made hormone widely used in birth control pills that feminizes fish.
When it comes to water resources in the western U.S., most of the low-hanging fruit's been picked. Although most of the West is a desert, cities were established and flourished where water supplies were plentiful and cheap. But with urbanization, power production, agriculture, industry, and the environment all competing for the same limited resource, "plentiful and cheap" is gradually being replaced by "scarce and expensive."
There's no sign that a federal policy will rein in demand for the remaining water that's available. Conservation can only achieve so much. With demand beginning to outpace supply, water is destined to get more expensive and communities will be more susceptible to extended droughts. In fact, our ascent up the steeper part of the price curve has already begun.
The question is, how much more expensive and how soon?
Every community has its own price escalation curve, a function of its cost to secure more water and its rate of growth in demand. In other words, it's a simple case of supply and demand. Large metropolitan areas like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas have already extended their reach well over 100 miles, at great expense, to secure more water. Reno, Nev., has a 40-mile straw to a groundwater basin north of the city.
Those options are increasingly limited and costly and are not available for every community. Identifying freshwater supplies to provide long-term reserves is even harder to find.
A community's available water supply is calculated using the historic assumption that water is fresh until it's used. After one use it becomes wastewater, to be treated, diluted, and returned to the environment.
But over the last 25 years, significant advances in treatment technologies have gradually enabled some highly treated wastewater to be used again to grow both food and fodder, thereby offsetting the need for fresh water. But because this reclaimed water is perceived as being not quite fit for human consumption, its use is strictly regulated and requires investment in a completely separate "purple pipe" distribution system.
Ideally, treatment technology would advance to a point where the waste could be completely eliminated from the water. Carcinogens that are a byproduct of our industrialized society would be eliminated, pathogens inactivated, and that refreshed water could be used to directly or indirectly augment the existing potable water supply. The result: a very reliable new source and no purple pipe.
This is already happening in Southern California. In Orange County, treated effluent from the wastewater plant is being further treated via reverse osmosis (RO). Because even RO doesn't eliminate all contaminants, the water is further treated with advanced oxidation before storage in the ground. When demand is high, this groundwater is pumped up to augment the potable water supply.
The trouble is that RO isn't for all cities. It's energy-intensive and expensive to build and operate.
Most importantly, it doesn't eliminate the contaminants; it just separates them into two streams: clean (about 80%) and dirty (about 20%). The dirty stream is still lost for reuse; and unless your city is near an ocean, you need to dispose a far more problematic dirty stream.
The engine's been upgraded to meet EPA emission requirements.

ZF-2124: Database Driven ACL
Add database storage and retrieval functionality for ACL
Hi Wil,
have you seen my proporsal?
in UC-04 you can see how to integrate any data source with acl
Please evaluate and categorize as necessary.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Assigning to Aldemar as he currently has a component that will fix this issue in the laboratory. Aldemar, please let us know when your component is ready for recommendation again.
Any new progress on this or http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/…
While this is a worthwhile feature, the ZF team will not develop this feature, but if a community member would like to pick up and develop it, they may make an assignment of it.
Reassigned to component maintainer
This is not trivial to fix, and seems more like userland code. I'd mark this issue as "won't fix"
I don't imagine that at this late stage of ZFv1's lifecycle that this will be added. If anyone would like to propose it for ZFv2, feel free to draft up an RFC on the ZF2 wiki ;)

How does the San Diego International Law Journal select its members?
Full-time students entering their second or third year and part-time students entering their fourth year are eligible to compete to join the San Diego International Law Journal (ILJ). To be considered for membership, students must participate in ILJ's write-on competition.
What is the write-on competition?
The write-on competition is a cooperative effort between ILJ, the San Diego Law Review and the San Diego Journal of Climate and Energy Law that enables interested students to apply to all three journals at the same time. The competition consists of a legal problem that each competitor must analyze and address. Each eligible competitor is provided with a copy of the problem and copies of all the relevant statutes, cases and other sources of law. No additional research is allowed. Students then prepare briefs, no longer than ten pages in length, that address the relevant legal issues involved in the problem. Students must also perform a citation edit using The Bluebook. Grading of the write-on competition is completely anonymous, and selection onto ILJ is entirely merit-based. All competitors must do their own work and shall not confer with other competitors about the write-on problem. Cooperative efforts will be deemed honor code violations and will be reported as such.
How many people will ILJ accept through the write-on competition?
The number is not predetermined. However, ILJ usually accepts 25 to 30 students each year.
Can I gain acceptance to ILJ after my second year?
Yes. Third-year full-time and fourth-year part-time students can also participate in the write-on competition as long as they do not plan on graduating early or studying abroad during the following fall and spring semesters.
Transfer Student write-on competition
ILJ is involved in a second small competition, usually in early August, for those students transferring to the University of San Diego School of Law. For full information on the write-on competition for transfer students, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Didier Reynders meets with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders met today with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, who is spending the day in our country in the framework of Belgian-Russian relations.
The two ministers emphasised that relations between the two countries are excellent and they are determined to sign a 3-year Russian-Belgian action plan soon. They also discussed the Joint Commission between the Russian Federation and the Belgium-Luxembourg Economic Union, which will meet in Brussels in November.
The two ministers then went on to discuss international matters such as relations between the European Union and Russia, the EU Eastern Neighbourhood, and Iran and the situation in Syria, both on a diplomatic and humanitarian level. Human rights issues were also raised, i.e. the status of non-governmental organisations and LGBTQ rights. Lastly, the seizure of the Arctic Sunrise was also discussed.
Sergey Lavrov gave a lecture at the Egmont Institute, the Belgian diplomacy think tank, before a group of approximately 500 people on "the role of Europe in a period of change". A debate took place after his speech, during which he emphasised the importance of international law and the UN framework, which are also key principles of Belgian foreign policy.

Rice and Beans
I just got married and have an important question: Can we eat rice on Passover? My wife grew up eating it, and I did not. Is this just a matter of family tradition?
The Aish Rabbi Replies:
The Torah instructs a Jew not to eat (or even possess) chametz all seven days of Passover (Exodus 13:3). "Chametz" is defined as any of the five grains (wheat, spelt, barley, oats, and rye) that came into contact with water for more than 18 minutes. Chametz is a serious Torah prohibition, and for that reason we take extra protective measures on Passover to prevent any mistakes.
Hence the category of food called "kitniyot" (sometimes referred to generically as "legumes"). This includes rice, corn, soy beans, string beans, peas, lentils, peanuts, mustard, sesame seeds and poppy seeds. Even though kitniyot cannot technically become chametz, Ashkenazi Jews do not eat them on Passover. Why?
Products of kitniyot often appear like chametz products. For example, it can be hard to distinguish between rice flour (kitniyot) and wheat flour (chametz). Also, chametz grains may become inadvertently mixed together with kitniyot. Therefore, to prevent confusion, all kitniyot were prohibited.
In Jewish law, there is one important distinction between chametz and kitniyot. During Passover, it is forbidden to even have chametz in one's possession (hence the custom of "selling chametz"). Whereas it is permitted to own kitniyot during Passover and even to use it - not for eating - but for things like baby powder which contains cornstarch. Similarly, someone who is sick is allowed to take medicine containing kitniyot.
What about derivatives of kitniyot - e.g. corn oil, peanut oil, etc? This is a difference of opinion. Many will use kitniyot-based oils on Passover, while others are strict and only use olive or walnut oil.
Finally, there is one product called "quinoa" (pronounced "ken-wah" or "kin-o-ah") that is permitted on Passover even for Ashkenazim. Although it resembles a grain, it is technically a grass, and was never included in the prohibition against kitniyot. It is prepared like rice and has a very high protein content. (It's excellent in "cholent" stew!) In the United States and elsewhere, mainstream kosher supervision agencies certify it "Kosher for Passover" -- look for the label.
Interestingly, the Sefardi Jewish community does not have a prohibition against kitniyot. This creates the strange situation, for example, where one family could be eating rice on Passover - when their neighbors will not. So am I going to guess here that you are Ashkenazi and your wife is Sefardi. Am I right?

text: Rock and Roll is primarily a byproduct of the South. Nowhere, however, was it better expanded upon than the Midwest. The heartland region became a hotbed for an explosion of talent that started in the Sixties and continues through today. Detroit was the home of Motown Records and was also full of teen clubs where such local performers as Bob Seger, the Amboy Dukes and the MC5 honed their skills. Chicago developed a diverse output ranging from the jazz-influenced rock of the band Chicago Transit Authority to the theatrical and thematic progressive music of Styx. In the Eighties, Minneapolis rose to international prominence as the home base of Prince and the breeding ground for such alternative rockers as the Replacements and Hüsker Dü. Perhaps the rock artist most associated with rural America is Seymour, Indiana's favorite son, John Mellencamp, the author of "Small Town."

We lost an American icon yesterday with the passing of Alex Chilton.
He followed his own path, emerging in the 1960s as a vocalist with the Box Tops—that's his growl on The Letter—and moved in a different direction in the 1970s with seminal Memphis band Big Star. September Gurls still gives me the chills. He then dropped in and out of view during what some have called his "lost decade."
I came of age in the early 1980s in dusty record stores and Salvation Army thrift shops and among our crowd Chilton was an enigma that we embraced. He was rumored to be washing dishes in New Orleans, playing gigs overseas, recording with The Cramps, or simply in voluntary seclusion. The Replacements stoked the flames and we tracked down Chilton's vinyl—especially his messier late 1970s stuff— and passed around the rare live cassette. His EPs from this era are fantastic. You feel a river of American music flowing from them. They would stay parked on your turntable for weeks after you purchased them. The songs were pure, damp, and loose with an acidic edge at times that felt just right. Thank You John, Lost My Job, Bangkok, Tee Ni Nee Ni Noo, No Sex. Somehow his sound managed to swing between Slim Harpo, Richard Hell, and the Beach Boys. We loved it.
In the mid-1980s I was lucky to have the chance to spend time with Chilton. While road managing The Ben Vaughn Combo we regularly crossed paths, and played a few gigs with him. We met in Kansas City. Chilton and his band blew into the club late looking like they had driven from New Orleans, lugged their gear out of a small car (no van), plugged in, set the audio levels during the first song and proceeded to bring down the house. Pure professionals, fitting for a guy who at that time was already approaching his third decade as a performer. The soul sound was even looser then the records and as the encore he blew us away with Volare. That song would be right at home in a Holiday Inn lobby bar, but somehow it became cool in his hands, especially the sizzling guitar that he delivered. As we continued to cross paths at bars he delivered the same amazing performance to a packed house as to a club with a handful of people. Tonight he was supposed to perform at SXSW. I'm sure he would have brought down the house.
