The Trucker News Services
TUCSON, Ariz. — The Women In Trucking (WIT) association Thursday announced the creation of the "Distinguished Woman in Logistics" award, sponsored by transportation software provider TMW Systems.
The association, established to promote the accomplishments of women employed in the trucking industry with the goals of minimizing obstacles to full participation and celebrating career achievement for women in the field, has expanded its recognition program to highlight leaders in the closely related field of logistics.
WIT was established in 2007 by Ellen Voie, a trucking industry veteran with a passion to expand and promote opportunities for women both as drivers and business people within the dynamic transportation services field.
Building on the success of its "Influential Woman in Trucking" award program sponsored for the past four years by Navistar International Corporation, and its annual "Salute to Women Behind the Wheel," WIT joined with TMW Systems to promote and sponsor the new recognition program.
The award was created to highlight and honor notable women active in the broader field of logistics, a discipline that overlaps and strongly influences the trucking industry in North America.
"Logistics" has been defined as that part of the supply chain process that plans, implements and controls the efficient flow and storage of goods, services and related information, from the point of origin to the point of consumption, in order to meet the customers' requirements.
The scope of industry participation that would qualify a potential candidate for consideration for the award broadly encompasses high-performing women in the warehousing, traffic and shipping, third-party logistics and supply chain management fields, as well as trucking, rail and maritime cargo operations in North America.
Said TMW Systems President David W. Wangler, "Transportation and logistics is a fascinating field that doesn't always receive proper recognition for the unique skills and capabilities that define the most successful practitioners in the industry.
"As the father of three intelligent and accomplished young women who are just setting out to make their marks on the world, I believe it's vital to support and celebrate the achievement of women in logistics today, so that we can attract talent of the highest quality to keep this industry vibrant and healthy."
The award program will be officially launched during the "Women in Logistics" session to be held during the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) "Great Ideas" Conference &Exposition, April 9-12 in Tucson, Ariz.
Candidacy guidelines, nomination procedures and forms for the first annual Distinguished Woman in Logistics award can be found at: http://www.TMWSystems.com/LogisticsWomanAward.
Nominations may be submitted starting April 10, 2014, and the program will close for judging Oct. 31. Nominations will be judged and a winner selected by a panel of industry notables from logistics and transportation media, logistics service providers and trade association leadership.
The first annual Distinguished Woman in Logistics award will be presented during the 2015 TIA Conference & Exposition.

Women In Trucking was established to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments and minimize obstacles faced by women working in the trucking industry. Membership is not limited to women, as 16 percent of its members are men who support the mission.
Women In Trucking is supported by its members and the generosity of Gold Level Partners: Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems; Daimler Truck NA; Frito-Lay North America; Great Dane Trailers; Hyundai Translead; and Walmart. Silver Level Partner is C.H. Robinson. Follow WIT on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn.

a1 Beijing Suicide Research and Prevention Center, Beijing Hui Long Guan Hospital, Beijing, China
a2 Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Science, Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China
Background Suicide is the most common cause of death among youth in China.
Method A case-control psychological autopsy study in 23 geographically representative disease surveillance points around China collected information from family members and close associates of 114 persons aged 15–24 years who died by suicide (cases) and 91 who died of other injuries (controls).
Results Among the 114 suicides 61% were female, 88% lived in rural villages, 70% died by ingesting pesticides (most commonly stored in the home), 24% previously attempted suicide, and 45% met criteria of a mental illness at the time of death. Multivariate logistic regression identified several independent risk factors: severe life events within 2 days before death (OR 31.8, 95% CI 2.6–390.6), presence of any depressive symptoms within 2 weeks of death (OR 21.1, 95% CI 4.6–97.2), low quality of life in the month before death (OR 9.7, 95% CI 2.8–34.1), and acute stress at time of death (moderate: OR 3.1, 95% CI 0.8–11.9; high: OR 9.1, 95% CI 1.2–66.8). A significant interaction between mental illness at time of death and gender indicated that diagnosis was an important predictor of suicide in males (OR 14.0, 95% CI 2.6–76.5) but not in females (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.0–3.6). Prior suicide attempt was related to suicide in the univariate analysis (OR 57.5) but could not be included in the multivariate model because no controls had made prior attempts.
Conclusions Suicide prevention efforts for youth in China must focus on restricting access to pesticides, early recognition and management of depressive symptoms and mental illnesses, improving resiliency, and enhancing quality of life.

James Bond Volcano Erupts After 52-Year Wait
Flights Hit by Asia Volcano Activity
Eagle-eyed James Bond buffs may recognize Mount Shinmoe as the site of the villainous massive underground rocket launch site in the 1967 movie, "You Only Live Twice." (See 2 minutes 17 seconds into this clip) But in its recent smoke-belching appearances on television screens, the volcano has taken on a fresh, real-life menace that not even 007 himself could thwart.
First off, unlike in the film, this volcano isn't extinct – it can seriously blow its top. And so Mount Shinmoe, in the Kirishima mountain range between Miyazaki and Kagoshima prefectures in Japan's southernmost main island Kyushu, erupted big-style Jan. 27 afternoon after it began small-scale activity the previous day. According to the Fukuoka District Meteorological Observatory and Kagoshima Local Meteorological Observatory, in charge of investigating the volcano's activities, this is the first time in 52 years the volcano has erupted on an explosive scale. Smoke from the volcano rose to 3,000m on Thursday evening, though it has fallen since then, marking a maximum height of 1,000m between 3 a.m. and 9 a.m. Friday, according to a representative at the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Since Jan. 26, an area within a 2km radius of the volcano has been designated off limits, with the alert level raised from 2 to 3 on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest alert. No evacuation warnings have been ordered, however, and few residents have evacuated, according to officials from neighboring towns and cities. Nonetheless, citizens are having to open umbrellas and don masks and sunglasses to shield themselves from falling ash deposits.
One thing that was disrupted – transport. JR Kyushu trains between Kagoshima and Miyazaki stopped for most of the day Thursday, resuming at 9am today, and according to a representative at Haneda Airport, a total of 14 flights to Miyazaki prefecture have been canceled in the past three days.

Potential Sources of Funding
|London is the best city in the UK. The location — it's in the centre of London. It's very good.
|- Mashari A., PhD student from Kuwait
UCL is a global university located in the world-class city of London. The sights and sounds of this grand city are numerous and wondrous, but it also can be an expensive place to live.
You should make sure that you have sufficient funds to support yourself through the entirety of your studies. The International Office has more details on fees and visas.
Much of the available funding for postgraduate research at the PhD level is restricted to UK/EEC students. However, there are some options available to international students as well.
UCL scholarships for international students
UCL maintains a list of scholarships that are available to prospective students here. Please check that you meet all qualification requirements before applying.
Many of the scholarships are very competitive. However, the rewards of a successful application can be great (for example, the Overseas Research Scholarship provides full-tuition at the overseas rate), so often it is worthwhile to apply.
Funding from your home country
Scholarships, loans and other sources of funding may be available from your home country.
For example, US students may be able to obtain research grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) or the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Your home country also may provide scholarships to promote study based on research, gender or ethnicity. Please check with your home government to find out more.
Part-time work in London
Depending on the specific student visa you are able to obtain, you may qualify to work legally part-time.
Your supervisor may be able to provide you with job opportunities within the department.
Also, the UCL Student Union maintains a list of part-time jobs available to students in London at the UCLU JobShop.
However, if possible, it is best to secure all necessary funding before starting your course in London, as studying full-time as a student can be challenging enough without the distractions of part-time work.
Good luck and good hunting!

Bribery laws are threatening Olympic hospitality
Executives are refusing corporate hospitality invitations to the Olympic Games because of fears they could break new anti-bribery rules, The Times has learnt.
Multinational corporations that have spent thousands of pounds buying lavish packages in the hope of entertaining clients are still searching for willing guests.
One FTSE 100-listed company has decided to give away its tickets — which include four-course meals and fine wines, as well as admittance to the best Olympic events — to its staff, instead. Another, a contractor, is being shunned because prospective guests fear that they would be vulnerable to accusations of bribery in the event of


text: Posted June 26, 2012 Dwyane Wade isn't sure whether he will need off-season knee surgery that could knock him out of this summer's London Olympics but will consider hiring a shooting coach regardless. Meanwhile, LeBron James plans to add another element to his game, even after another MVP season. The Heat's two biggest stars shared those and other nuggets after the team's championship parade Monday. For Wade, a decision on his troublesome left knee will be made shortly. "When everything dies down this week, I will sit down with doctors — those that I trust — and make the best decision for me and my career," he said. "I don't know what's going to happen. I won't know until I sit down with [the doctors] and have an MRI and see what's wrong with my knee and what I have to get done." Wade said he would not be inclined to go to the Olympics if he cannot play. Wade said the knee caused him discomfort throughout the postseason and, "I had to go through a lot to play. If people knew what I had to go through just to play, it was crazy. The biggest thing was I had a lot of swelling. "My left knee is my power knee. It's my explosion knee. When you are dealing with knee issues, you are dealing with lateral quickness [issues]. I dealt with it. At times, I did great with it. At other times, I didn't do great with it." He said he had his knee drained before Game 3 against Indiana, when he scored five points on 2-for-13 shooting. "Very sore," he said. "It was so much swelling, and I wanted some relief." Wade said he might work with a shooting coach "for the first time ever" after a postseason in which he shot 31 percent on mid-range jumpers (50 for 163) and 29 percent on three-pointers (10 for 34). The goal, he said, "is to try to do more in the sense of my three-point game and midrange game, getting that back. My mechanics aren't that bad. I don't have an ugly shot, not one of those Shawn Marion shots. There are certain things in my shot I can change." Wade said a shooting coach could "give me a different look and [suggest] where I can get better." He said he also wants "to continue to get better in the post." James also has "thought about what I'm going to do personally to improve my game. I always love the offseason. I'll have an opportunity to come back with something new. There is more to add. Not telling you guys what yet." James offered more self-analysis Monday, noting: "I always wanted to be one of the greats. I knew I couldn't be one of the greats until I entered that championship room. It's a relief. I feel happy today to be a champion." After losing in last year's Finals, James did not leave his home for two weeks. Since winning the championship Thursday, he has gone home only "to shower and get changed again. That's all." Winning a title has renewed his faith in some of life's lessons. "There are sayings you hear and you start to wonder if they're actually true," he said. "Hard work pays off. Good things come to people who are patient. And patience is a virtue. "Sometimes you question if it's actually true, but there's truth to it. I was very patient; I tried to work on my game as hard as I could and tried to be more of a leader." In the aftermath of a title, Wade said James "is more relaxed. Like they say, the monkey is off your back. It didn't get off by him riding a coattail. It came off by him going to get it. Losing last year humbled him so much and made him grow up." Looking back, James said "the best thing that happened to our team, which was the worst at the time, was Chris Bosh getting hurt because it gave [Erik Spoelstra] a lineup change we didn't know was possible, with Shane Battier starting at the 4. "We always envisioned Shane being a backup 3. When I went out, he would come in. When he started at the 4 and guarded [indiana's] David West and takes one of the bigs out of the paint and opened up the floor for me and D-Wade and gave us a lineup we so needed, gave us space we needed and also an unbelievable defensive lineup." James, happy to have been joined in celebrations by a few of his high school teammates in recent days, will spend the next week appearing on David Letterman's CBS show on Tuesday and with Wade and Chris Bosh on The View (undetermined day) and with Oprah Winfrey (on her OWN network at 8 p.m. Sunday). "After the Olympics, I will take some time off and try to get my legs back under me," James said. "Hopefully, it's another long season for us next year. I'll be ready." http://www.miamihera...ade-lebron.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This hotel was very clean, but did not like too much how it was situated, also the hotel come with air conditioning and it was only a little fan, this need to be specified in the hotel details, because I would have not taken this hotel.Also, I stayed in your hotel in Versailles on 06/08/2013 and to this date I did not see my points on the account and also the same for my last stay of 4 days at Versailles. Please can you advise e why?

Nice hotel , centrally localized..very near to metro locations...and nearby Paris centrally located monuments ....safe at night..service staff is really helpful....Breakfast not up to the mark... very little options and no variety.....no Air conditioned...which would have mentioned in online website..so people who really needs it must confirm first by calling and then only book the room..overall good hotel....
"finally a place that changed my perceptions about Paris' 18th district"
13th August 2013, TEBBY_R, Habay-la-Neuve, Belgium
Reception - very welcoming, friendly, gave good information & advice, good service, very helpful - Thanks BRUNO and the staff - GOOD SERVICE!Breakfast & beverages - a lot to choose from, enough to eat & keep one going for the entire day, healthy, the two ladies who worked in the kitchen & the dining area did an amazing job and were very friendly - GOOD SERVICE! - Merci !!! Rooms - Having previously stayed ay ibis Styles I knew the rooms were small, but NOT uncomfortable, clean, very comfortable, even though there was not air conditioner, the hotel provided a portable ventilator since it was very hot, despite the heatwave & trying endlessly to cool, the room, bathroom & sleeping conditions were acceptable. But still a question why is there no safety deposit in the rooms? For the first time I didn't have someone knocking on my room's door asking if they can come & clean, this gave me a peace a of mind & a moment to rest after a lovely breakfast before heading off to my day's business! - Merci to the cleaning service ! Everything worked good!Internet - good & fast connection and thanks for letting me use your internet service when i returned to pick up my baggage even if i had already checked out! Surroundings and/or Area - I always had a very negative perception about the 18th district, especially the part of the Porte de Clignancourt. But after living in this hotel for an entire week and exploring the area, my entire negative perception was wiped out of my thoughts and I embraced this area and the friendliness of the people. I didn't feel intimidated as I used to be many years just visiting the area. But living in that are one discovers the real cote of the place. Accessibility - The hotel is located very close to metro stations, shops, restaurants, lively day & night lifeGeneral thoughts - I recommend this hotel to anybody, whether travelling alone or as a couple, for leisure & business. I travelled for business and I worked peacefully in my room. At times it was too quiet that I thought there was no else in the hotel. But I enjoyed that silence in the middle of a busy area. Thanks to ALL the staff of this hotel.On a negative side - not much to think about, except for one night of a lot of thumping but I discovered it was a group of teenagers two probably escaped their parents to explore a big city for a first on their own & the construction workers across the street, but hey at 10am a man is up & working so no complains. I got used to it
"Good Basic Hotel"
8th July 2013, eltscb, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
This is a budget hotel in the 18th district of Paris, deliberately chosen as the price included breakfast and it was in the area we wanted to base ourselves in. Overall a pleasant, clean hotel offering a very good selection for the continental breakfast, free wifi and additionally tea,coffee and a small selection of pastries available all day in the lounge area. Our twin room room was fairly small but adequate for our needs and a small but thoughtful welcome gift awaited us. Only downside was the building work on the oposite side of the road that started very early on 2 of the mornings of our stay. Reception staff very helpful.
"Not Worth Your Money"
3rd July 2013, lynzy143, Ketchum, Idaho, USA
I suppose given the general price of hotels in Paris, this might have been considered a "good value". If this is in your price range... it will do. However, overall, we had a poor experience. The rooms had essentially been decorated in IKEA castoffs, and other other challenges were as follows....-Broken Elevator-Construction next door, making sleep past 8 am impossible.-Power Outage-Our "3 person occupancy room had a roll away jammed in, leaving virtually ZERO floor space or walking space for luggage/clothing/movement. This was NOT an appropriate three person room. The service was good, and the hotel was generally clean. Good luck!
"Budget stay"
6th March 2013, jpotleong, Singapore, Singapore
Good location, near to train station, easily accessible to most major landmarks train stations. Helpful staff, readily attends to your queries and needs. Room though a bit small but still comfortable, value for money
"Paris weekend"
15th February 2013, Drumliff, Nottingham, United Kingdom
Does what it says on the tin!. Good value for Paris. Close to Metro. Rooms clean and comfortable but rather small. Bathroom door does not provide much privacy as it is frosted glass and doesn't completely cover the opening.Ok as a base for a short stay.
"Rooms are very very small. Avoid."
6th September 2012
Although the price was good since we had summer offer during the period of our stay. The breakfast was also included in the price, good value for money. But the room is terribly small no space to turn around even.
"Ibis Style Montmartre Nord"
11th August 2012, hsubbu, Chantilly
Very convenient location. minutes walk from two metro stations line 4 and line 12 on either side. Residential neighborhood restaurants close by.Stayed one night in a family room with two children. Staff was very friendly , Night desk staff even ensured we had something to drink/eat as we had to check out early to catch a train at Gare De Lyon. They even called a cab for us that arrived in 3 minutes when our reserved private taxi did not show up. Wi FiInternet worked. Room did feel a little cramped and in general the hotel layout it felt very tight .Only minus point is our next room neighbor objected because our noise carried into their room Highly recommended for its location, price and value for money.
"Basic accommodation"
5th July 2012, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Basic hotel offering breakfast on a budget. Had to set alarm clock to get up early in order that we could have breakfast. Shortgae of staff caused issues when looking for a table to eat at in the morning. Located opposite an africans restaurant users of this facility enjoyed partying into the early hours of the morning. Wewere locatted on the 5th floor and it was still noisey. We stayed atthis hotel for 5 days. Would not consider this hotel location when viisting paris next time. Two metros to get into centre of paris.
"Our May 2012 visit"
5th June 2012, ajones1013, Lehi, Utah, USA
The hotel was clean and seemed to be recently updated. It was within walking distance of at least two Metro stops. The staff was helpful and graciously spoke excellent english. The breakfast, which was included in the price, was fantastic! (It was my favorite part.) Our room was very small, but still worked quite well. We slept quite comfortably in the bed, though it did get quite warm, even with the window open. I imagine it would be harder to keep cool in warmer months.We had one problem with the room. While everything looked and seemed quite clean, the toilet room had a very bad odor. There was no fan and we weren't able to get rid of the smell our entire stay. The room was fine, as long as the door remained closed, but the toilet room itself was awful. This might be a unique problem for this room, or this particular stay...I can't say that it would be a problem throughout the hotel.While it was a bit of a distance from Central Paris, it was very near Sacre Coeur and some wonderful sights in the Montmartre area. We also found it very easy to get to Central Paris, as well as the airport, via the many Metro stops around Montmartre. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Paris.

As part of a new ACLU project to FOIA and map all the racial profiling the FBI has been doing, it liberated a Detroit FBI document describing its efforts to set up a "Domain Management" assessment (which seems to be a nice euphemism for racial profiling). It describes what it claims is the distinct counterterrorism threats in Michigan.
There are more than forty groups designated as terrorist organizations by the US State Department. Many of these groups originate in the Middle-East and Southeast Asia. Many of these groups also use an extreme and violent interpretation of the Muslim faith as justification for their activities. Because Michigan has large Middle-Eastern and Muslim population, it is prime territory for attempted radicalization and recruitment by these terrorist groups. Additionally, Sunni terrorist groups always pose a threat of attack on U.S. soil since it is the stated purpose of many of these groups. The Detroit Division Domain Team seeks to open a Type IV Domain Assessment for the purpose of collecting information and evaluating the threat posed by international terrorist groups conducting recruitment, radicalization, fund-raising, or even violent terrorist acts within the state of Michigan.
Of course, MI is not just home to a lot of Arab-Americans and Muslims. It's also home to a bunch of right wing militias and all-around nutjobs. So using racial profiling to find terrorists–the FBI admittedly uses State's list of international terrorists, which of course excludes domestic right wing terrorist groups–would miss the white terrorists we have in MI.
To give you an idea of what that would miss, I checked out all the press releases the Detroit FBI Office and US Attorney's Office has put out since this document was written on July 6, 2009 to see what kind of crimes related to or possibly related to terrorism we've had in the state. Here's what it showed.
So while the FBI has been profiling Muslims (including, arguably, the African-American mosque the FBI labels the "Ummah"; while Shoshana Hebshi and the two Indian men were clearly profiled on 9/11, this was not by the FBI), 13 white people in Michigan have been alleged to engage in some kind of terrorism: The 9 members of the Hutaree, Russell Hesch threatening Stupak's life, Gary Mikulich making a crazed bomb attack on the Federal building, John Lechner's stash of 4000 pounds of explosives, plus the ties to a foreign terrorist organization the FBI alleges Reed Berry has (his attorney says they were surveilling Berry for protected speech). And that's assuming the still unsolved clinic bomber was not white.
Not only will profiling result in the harassment of people like Hebshi and the extreme over-reaction of the FBI with Luqman.
But in MI, it also risks missing what–setting aside Luqman's mosque–has actually been the majority of terrorists and alleged terrorists in recent years. That's not just dumb. It's dangerous.
Update: Added Lechner–h/t Lakeeffectsnow.

hmmm...I have the quick cooking 2000 annual...seems like the mushroom pork tenderloin recipe should have been in there.

I made this for lunch and it was really good. Would definitely make it again!
I didn't make the dressing, I used light Raspberry Dressing in a bottle that I love.

I think the 2000 recipes are in the 2001 annual but I might be wrong. I think either the creamy onion or cream of celery would work fine for that recipe.
I am also going to try the spinach mushroom sauté but I didn't want to steal anybody's recipe idea (have done it before but since I have both spinach and asparagus I need to use, will try both of them....but on different days.

I am back tonight with my recipe. I chose Spinach and Mushroom Smothered Chicken. This was another winner. I followed the recipe but did make a few changes. The biggest change was to saute the chicken breast on the stove instead of braving 25º with wind to grill the chicken outside. We do grill year round but I drew the line tonight. It was delicious. Again, I prepared only 2 chicken breasts for the two of us although we split one and saved one for tomorrow. There are two main steps in preparing this chicken but both are easy. The first step is to saute the spinach, mushrooms, onion, and pecans. (I'm thinking some crisp crushed bacon would be good here). Here is my photo:
Another change was to chop some yellow onion instead of green onions since I already had one on hand. I used Montreal Steak Seasoning because I already had some and it was delicious. And one last change - I already had slices of pepper jack cheese on hand so used that. Even with all those changes, this dish is outstanding.
After sauteing the veggies, I removed them and cooked the chicken. To serve, I placed a cheese slice on top of the chicken and when it had melted slightly, I added the cooked veggies on top. Oh, my word. Talk about good. We will definitely have this again.
Here is the recipe and my photo.

Joan, I have made the spinach and mushroom smothered chicken before and loved it. I also made the spinach and mushroom sauté yesterday and enjoyed that as well. Think I am going to have leftovers of the cowboy meatloaf and potato casserole for lunch and will make up the one I am going to try then. Jill, I have also had meatball stroganoff before but think it may have come from the blog dreaming of poultry.
I have been finding a lot of promising recipes while digging my way through the mushroom recipes.
So far have come up with a list of several to try:
Garlicky Green Beans with Mushrooms (Light and Tasty Aug/Sept 2004

My son and I stared battling a stomach bug Tuesday. He is better, I however, don't seem to be bouncing back so quickly.
In a effort to produce a speedy recovery I concocted a chicken soup recipe with ingredients I had on hand. The following is what I came up with and it turned out to be one of the best chicken soups I have ever prepared. My son, whom is 9, loved it and this will be the second day my husband has taken a thermos full with him to work for lunch.
Chicken Soup
2 -3 boneless chicken breast, cut up into bite size pieces
2 cubes chicken bullion
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon roasted garlic, finely chopped
1 cup 5-minute rice, uncooked
6-8 large brussels sprouts, sliced thin
1 cup mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup carrots, sliced thin
Salt and pepper to taste
Place pieces of chicken breast, chicken bullion, onion powder, roasted garlic, salt and pepper in a stock pot. Cover with about 3 quarts water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until chicken is done.
Reduce heat to simmer and and add remaining ingredients. Simmer until rice is tender.
Note: Rice will take longer to get tender, about 20 minutes.
Hope you enjoy this recipe. It's different and delicious!
Please visit my website at www.southerngalscook.com
This is the one I tried. It is easy, quick and delicious. A definite keeper here. Love asparagus and mushrooms and I think leftovers would be great in an omelet. Just saying....the asparagus is lovely and crisp tender. Only thing I changed was not on purpose. I only had about 3/4 t. ground ginger. I did have some fresh ginger, but wasn't sure how much to use. This is really good just the way it is.
Wanted to thank Sue for doing this topic. As I mentioned, I am finding a lot of good mushroom recipes that I didn't know about.
I think I will make this one maybe since I have asparagus I need to use.
3/4 cup equals 92 calories, 7 g fat (1 g saturated fat), 0 cholesterol, 599 mg sodium, 5 g carbohydrate, 2 g fiber, 3 g protein. Diabetic Exchanges: 1 vegetable, 1 fat.
Dana, feel better soon!
Carole, you make this pork recipe sound so good, I just know I'm going to try it here very soon. I did look at it this morning when I was wondering what to make for supper tonight but I have no pork tenderloin in the freezer. I do have pork chops or a pork loin roast tho'.
I only buy tenderloins when on BOGO and I only use one for this recipe, but I have seen reviews that say it is also good with pork chops or a pork roast. I need to try it with chops.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yum, chicken, pork tenderloin (Sherry, that when we buy ours, bogo), sauté's and really yummy soup...lol.
Will definitely try the pork tenderloin one,, hopefully sooner than later.
For mine I kind of goofed up again. If I had made either recipe separately they would have been good. The one from taste of home is similar to one I've made before only with spinach. (been eating a ton of kale lately)
But I wanted to add a twist to it and combined it with an allrecipe recipe adding in pesto spaghetti squash. (but also had kale & mushrooms, but not as many plus no beans)
It was just too much stuff! But separately and not adding quite so many extra ingredients to the spaghetti squash one, would have worked good. We'll see, I'll try both again one of these days as it's so healthy!
But we did both liked it, just didn't love it enough to make again..together.
Carole, that's so cute about the Will Rogers quote!
Thanks all, great experiments!
Quick Cream of Mushroom Soup
My daughter-in-law, a gourmet cook, served this soup as the first course for Thanksgiving dinner. She'd gotten the recipe from her mom and graciously shared it with me. Now I'm happy to pass it along to Reminisce readers.--Anne Kulick, Phillipsburg, N.J.
4-6 servings, Prep/Total Time: 30 mins.
1/4 cup chopped onion (I used 1/2 cup)
2 T. butter
3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (I used baby portabella)
6 T. all-purpose flour
2 cans, 14 1/2 ounces each, chicken broth (I used a 32oz. carton, unsalted broth)
1 cup 1/2 and 1/2 cream (I used 1/2 whole milk and 1/2 almond milk-original, unsweetened)
1/2 t. salt 1/4 t. pepper I also added a pinch of minced garlic flakes
In a large saucepan, sauté onion in butter until tender. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender. Combine flour and broth until smooth; stir into the mushroom mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 mins or until thicken. Reduce heat. Stir in the cream, salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 mins, stirring often.
REVIEW: Other than a Hungarian Sour Mushroom Soup my Grandmother made strictly for our Christmas Eve dinner, I basically grew up with Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup. Trying to watch our sodium in take, DH encouraged me to give this recipe a try. Well let me tell you, I'm so glad I did! This wonderfully delicious soup is more than I expected. It is so smooth tasting, like velvet, it just slides down so easily. I was worried at first because my soup is darker than Campbell's. Not sure, but thinking this might be because I used portabellas instead of white mushrooms and/or it has a smaller amount of cream/milk. One taste however, all my worries were banished.--I was happy with the results and this would be a keeper. DH said we hit the jackpot with this recipe and I couldn't agree more!
I will have to try this Lori! I have bought the new(ish) organic Portobello mushroom soup that is actually really good, but you can't beat homemade.
LORI,,,,,can you share you Hungarian Sour mushroom soup recipe? I've made one before but your sounds very authentic. Oh rats, when I was looking up maybe a recipe you had already shared I saw where your Grandmother wouldn't write down the recipe before she passed. How very sad for all the recipes lost, and of course for your grandma even more so.
Thanks for your review,,,, and really everyone's. Forgot to mention the yummy salad recipe too.

Strong at the Broken Places: Voices of Illness, a Chorus of Hope (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
The bestselling author of Blindsided, Richard M. Cohen spent three years chronicling the lives of five diverse "citizens of sickness": Denise, who suffers from ALS; Buzz, whose Christian faith helps him deal with his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; Sarah, a determined young woman with Crohn's disease; Ben, a college student with muscular dystrophy; and Larry, whose bipolar disorder is hidden within. Differing in age and gender, race and economic status, all five are determined to live life on their own terms. In Strong at the Broken Places, Cohen shares these inspirational and revealing stories, which offer lessons for us all on self-determination, on courage in the face of adversity and public ignorance, on keeping hope alive.
We are all strong at the broken places stronger than we think.
Praise For…
-Larry King, Larry King Live
"Career journalist Cohen doesn't flinch from probing for truth about relationships, money, fear, and death….One only hopes that, with their group presentation to a class of Harvard medical students, these five taught young medicos as much as they could teach Cohen and, through him, us."
"The strength of these profiles derives from Cohen's focus on chronic illnesses that, as he notes, are not "sexy" and generally "do not resolve themselves"....these are stories dense with quotidian details."
-Washington Post
"This unusual book gives a voice to the voiceless--the chronically disabled who, in our health-conscious society, are defined by their disease....In this advocacy book, written like a personal journal, Cohen tells their stories....Strong at the Broken Places ends on a note of hope."
-Providence Journal

Yarn Profile: Rowan Calmer
First Impressions
The first thing you'll notice is Calmer's exceptional softness. But take a strand in your hand and you'll discover its other welcome trait: tremendous elasticity.
Rowan has taken a fine thread of 75% cotton / 25% acrylic and knitted it into a fine circular tube. Then two of these tubes were plied together in such a way that they form a cohesive jumble of smooth, blended fibers -- no crispness or precision here.
Calmer is available in 14 varied colors, all of which convey the same muted calm of a still ocean on a cloudy day. For this review I used a pale blue Calmer, similar to faded denim.
Knitting Up
My swatches emerged looking rather puffy but lightweight, mostly even, and extremely wearable. There was no snagging, regardless of whether I was knitting or purling.
Because the yarn is so stretchy, Rowan recommends an unusually large needle size (US 8), which helps give the illusion of speedy progress.
Blocking / Washing
In all cases, however, the swatches did require careful blocking to resume their perfect square shapes.
You'll need approximately 10 skeins for a long-sleeved medium-sized women's sweater (more if you choose one of the more elaborate patterns), which translates into $105.00. For some, this might be too high for cotton, which is traditionally a less expensive fiber than its animal-produced counterparts.
To its credit, Calmer is a lovely yarn with excellent stitch definition and wearability. If you wanted to splurge on a cotton garment, this would be among my top candidates for the job.

No2party: War on pot is done and it is only a matter of time and the prohibition on alcohol proved that fate a long time ago, It is time to negotiate surrender terms. I would gladly end the war on pot thus legalize it and tax it to fund the wall and the deportation of illegal aliens. It would also create economic activity and new wealth thus grow our economy. It would also lesson our prison costs and stop ruining lives for something less evil than alcohol. It would give us the opportunity to end the income tax on labor wages for the first $100,000

I tried searching first but only one thread came up and there wasn't much information...
So, I was just wondering if anyone is taking Abilify and how it interacts with E.
I've been sitting on some really good stuff and was just prescribed this med for bipolar and was wondering if I should drop before I start taking the Abilify.
I've dropped many times before to know that I'm not going to go off myself on the comedown... I really don't get that depressed from it actually.
However, if the Abilify will greatly reduce the pill's effects I will probably hold off on starting it for a couple of days or a week until I take the pill.
Also, if anyone happens to know how it might interact with other things... that information would be much appreciated as well. I can't seem to find much info about this medication and it's kind of irritating.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Tom Hardy joins the cast of Peaky Blinders series 2
Tom Hardy will join Cillian Murphy in the cast of Peaky Blinders series 2, it's been announced.
Now here's a casting coup. The second series of the BBC's Peaky Blinders has added Tom Hardy to the cast, reuniting him with writer/director Steven Knight. Knight wrote and directed the film Locke, which is coming to cinemas later this year. And he also created Peaky Blinders, penning all six episodes of series two.
Tom Hardy joins a cast that already includes Cillian Murphy - the two were both in, to differing degrees, The Dark Knight Rises. And Hardy will be playing "a charismatic leader who presents a unique opportunity to Tommy Shelby".
Shooting on series two of the show starts later this month, and Peaky Blinders will be back on our screens in the autumn.

Quick Recap: Coyotes 2, Stars 1
The Dallas Stars had a four-game points streak on the road come to an end with a 2-1 loss at Phoenix Saturday night. It was just the second regulation road loss in the last nine games for the Stars (6-2-1). Jaromir Jagr scored the lone goal for the Stars, tallying on a five-on-three power play in the second period. Kari Lehtonen stopped 19 shots for the Stars, who fell to 12-10-2 on the season.
Jamie Benn leaves game late after hit to head
Stars center Jamie Benn left the game with just over a minute remaining after he took a shoulder to the head from Coyotes center Martin Hanzal. There was no penalty called on Hanzal and there was no update on Benn.
Stars PP scores again, but can't get the equalizer

Tesla to Report First Quarterly Profit
Tesla Motors Co. said it will report its first ever quarterly profit for the past three months after delivering more Model S electric cars than it had previously estimated it would.
Tesla sold 4,750 plug-in electric Model S cars, more than its 4,500 forecast made in February when it reported its year-end results. The announcement, made late Sunday, came a few days after Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk used Twitter to foreshadow major news coming from the Silicon Valley carmaker.
"I am incredibly proud of the Tesla team for their outstanding work. There have been many car startups over the past several decades, but profitability is what makes a company real. Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution," Musk said in a statement
Tesla also said it will no longer offer the 40 kWh battery pack option for the Model S. That option, which allowed buyers to get a car that cost around $60,000, is being discontinued because of lack of demand. The 60 kWh version of the vehicle starts at just under $70,000, but the buyer can receive a $7,500 federal tax credit for the purchase.
Tesla last month said in regulatory filings that it shorted its $465 million loan term by nearly five years. Tesla, which went public in 2010, has never reported a profit.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Senior McKenzie Trunkle scored 15 points, including a key 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, as Neillsville held off Oshkosh Lourdes, 52-42, to win the WIAA Division 4 state title Saturday.
Neillsville (28-0) led the entire fourth quarter and won its first state title by responding to every big shot Oshkosh Lourdes hit. Three times Lourdes (26-2) cut the Warriors' lead to three points or fewer, only to see Neillsville convert at the other end to blunt the momentum.
The biggest blow came when the Lady Knights cut the lead to 45-42 with 2:21 left but couldn't stop Trunkle's 3-pointer from the elbow. Trunkle's shot led to a 7-0 run to close the game.
Senior Lexy Petermann scored 15 points for Oshkosh Lourdes, which was making its first state tournament appearance.

Freestone County Residents Can Claim Forgotten Funds
(FAIRFIELD) — Freestone County residents who think — or hope — they might have some money waiting in the state's Unclaimed Property database can search the list at an event hosted by the Texas Comptroller's office and Freestone County Treasurer Kay Taylor James.
The Comptroller's office reports that Freestone County residents currently have about 10,000 unclaimed properties, worth more than $1 million in total.
"The current balance in the state's Unclaimed Property fund is approximately $2.5 billion," said Texas Comptroller Susan Combs. "That money belongs to Texans, and it is important that we get it back into the right hands. Events like this enable us to educate people about forgotten funds, and encourage them to check the Unclaimed Property list often."
Staff from the Comptroller's and County Treasurer's offices will help people search for unclaimed property online, fill out claim forms and answer questions about the Unclaimed Property program. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 1, in the Freestone County Commissioners Courtroom, located at 118 E. Commerce St., Room 203, in Fairfield.
The Comptroller estimates that one in four Texans has money waiting to be claimed. Unclaimed property includes utility deposits or other refunds, insurance proceeds, mineral interest or royalty payments, dormant bank accounts and abandoned safe deposit box contents. To search for unclaimed property, visit the Comptroller's Unclaimed Property website at www.ClaimItTexas.org or call 1-800-654-FIND (3463).
Join the discussion and connect with the Texas Comptroller on Facebook for the latest economic news, surveys and more.

How To PVP
The 411 on PVP
A Whole New World
The Arena is a large stadium where players can fight against one another in a variety of competitive modes. Once you hit level 10, you can enter the Arena channels, and take your first step into the brutal world of PVP.
Getting There is Half the Fun
There are 2 ways to get to the Arena:
There is a tab on the channel select screen that will allow you to select a PVP channel. Important note, the Leviatha server has its own PVP servers. Gerrant, Elena, Argenta and Velskud have their own shared channels.
Stadium of Champions
When you enter any PVP channel you will find many of the services you can find in Saint's Haven or Carderock Pass, including a Marketplace, a Mailbox and access to your Storage. You will also find vendors that sell Arena specific items and equipment.
There's also the ever helpful Arena Officer Joseph, always ready to help with tips on entering the Arena.
The large Blue Portal will take you to the Arena Lobby, where you can select a PVP match to enter.
Finding a PVP Match
Dip Your Toes In the Water
The Arena (Beginner) tab is the best place to start. The matches in Green and Orange text are never-ending matches, and a good place to start if you're feeling shy and just want to slip into combat for the first time.
The Tabs on the top will let you know the status of the match. No. is the room number, which can be helpful if you want to let a friend know exactly which match you're in.
The Status Tab will let you know if the match has stated (Playing) or if they're still waiting for more players (Waiting).
The Mode Tab will let you know which type of PVP mode is being played (More on that later.)
The Lv. Tab shows the level range for the match.
The Title tab shows the name that the room has been given. It can often contain a good description of what's going on inside.
The Size tab shows how many players are currently playing.
The Map shows which map the match is being played on.
Know Where You Stand
The column to the right of the current matches displays all the players currently in the lobby. This column also displays a number of tabs that can easily help you find fellow guild members and friends.
There is also a link to the Rankings page, where you can measure you're standings against other players. Don't get discouraged reading this for the first time; you've got nowhere to go but up!
Get Into the Game
If you're feeling brave, or if you've got the skills to pay the bills, you can always press the Quick Join button to hop right into a match.
Throw Your own Party
The Create Game button will allow you to create a game room of your own.
In the Create game you can customize the following:
Each of these options can dramatically change the way the match plays out. You should take time to learn the pros and cons of each option.
It's a Game of Skill
All skills are not created equally, so make sure you check out the PVP version of your skills by moving your mouse over the desired skill, then scrolling up or down on the scroll wheel of your mouse.
Rank and File
The Senior General and higher ranks are honorary titles that only 101 people can possess in the entire game, with the exception of the Champion Rank, which is reserved for the best PVP player in the game. If you're ranked as a Lanista or higher, you can purchase rare items from the Arena Elite Shop with an item called Goddess's Medals (More on that later).
You will receive various as you rise in ranks from Grunt to Legionnaire. You will be able to see the reward requirements and items on the Combat tab of the Achievement window (Hotkey: L).
Your PVP rank will rise as you accumulate Arena EXP. In order to obtain Arena EXP, you should need to complete PVP matches. You can also buy an EXP Booster from the Arena Shop with Goddess's Medals.

EPA prepping for a busy 2013
Energy regulation is a complicated game. Ensuring compliance requires utilities to navigate policy at the local, state, and federal levels while monitoring a host of commissions and government departments. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is among the most influential of these organizations, having carried the torch on issues ranging from air pollution to clean energy and water.
The past year in particular saw many EPA regulations that will impact utility operations begin to take effect. And 2013 is likely to be just as eventful, with the EPA expected to tackle a host of rulemaking now that the presidential election has passed.
Senator James Inhofe (R-Okla.), ranking republican on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, released in October some of EPA's major regulatory initiatives that were delayed into 2013. Major items include: studying hydraulic fracturing, greenhouse gas regulation, an ozone rule, water guidance, storm water regulation, Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) rules, and coal ash rules.
Inhofe contends that the regulations will spell doom for American jobs and economic growth. Whether or not that's the case, the fact remains that the EPA will not slow down in 2013.
MATS is on the minds of utilities, but natural gas is also going to be a major debate heading into 2013 ___________________________
The EPA in early December extended the comment period on proposed Mercury Air Toxics Standards (MATS) reconsideration -- a welcomed sign for utilities concerned that complying with the standards in the proposed four-year timeline will strain grid reliability. The EPA proposal dates back to November and would update the emissions requirements for new power generation, which were originally proposed in December 2011.
EPA pushes ahead on fracking study
MATS is on the minds of utilities, but natural gas is also going to be a major debate heading into 2013.
Congress in 2011 directed EPA to examine potential impacts of the hydraulic fracturing process, which is used to loosen and extract natural gas from subterranean rock. The EPA has been roundly criticized as a trending liberal, but it maintains that the fracking review is being done objectively and with the participation of diverse stakeholders.
According to the EPA, it "is committed to conducting g a study that uses the best available science, independent sources of information, and a transparent, peer-reviewed process that will ensure the validity and accuracy of the results. The agency is working in consultation with other federal agencies, state and interstate regulatory agencies, industry, non-governmental organizations, and others in the private and public sector."
The EPA study is examining five stages of fracking, including: water acquisition, chemical mixing, well injection, flowback, and produced water and wastewater treatment and disposal. Data is being gathered through 18 research projects, and a draft of the complete study will be released in 2014.
EPA gets a leadership shakeup
At least one member of the team won't be around to see the regulations through. EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, appointed in 2009, last week announced her decision to step down from her post as top EPA regulator. Her accomplishments include championing MATS, which will set maximum emissions levels for new electric generation. She also worked on many climate change initiatives and on greenhouse gasses.
Most energy service organizations declined to comment on the shakeup, while environmental advocates joined the Obama Administration in (predictably) lauding Jackson's achievements, completed under stinging Washington partisanship.
"Administrator Jackson put into action the Obama Administration's commitment to ethanol and other biofuels," said Bob Dinneen, President and CEO of the Renewable Fuels Association, in a release.
Bob Perciasepe, who has worked under the Clinton and Obama administrations, will take Jackson's place on an interim basis.
But no matter who is at the helm, the core staff will remain intact, and utilities should remain alert and prepared for continued regulations.
In an interview with FierceEnergy¸ John Walke, Director of the Climate & Clean Air Program at the Natural Resources Defense Council, reiterated that Congress is the group that sets the EPA agenda, not the administrator.
"The law demands EPA setting health standards and other measures to carry out environmental statutes, enforce the law and protect the public," he said.

I've learned (partially the easy way and partially the hard way) that I'm developing a new kind of strength. When I think of strength, I generally think of this kind:
Oh how I miss my old fit self!
And if we're talking about that kind, I'm definitely lacking strength right now. I had been feeling a little soreness/tenderness/strain/something for the past few days in my inner-thigh area, but I have no idea how I did it.
On Tuesday, I made it worse by moving some furniture. Bad Idea! Listen, I don't care if you're bored or nesting or whatever, if you're pregnant, resist the urge to move heavy furniture! One loveseat, one wine fridge, one pub table, two pub chairs, one end table, and two leather recliners later…
Needless to say, I had to make a change in workout plans yesterday morning. Leg day was swapped for my Tracy Anderson Pregnancy DVD (month 6).
The "new kind of strength" I'm talking about is the kind I've found during this pregnancy, not the kind I've lost. It's the kind of strength that comes from not overdoing it. (aside from furniture moving… lesson learned)
I don't think that tank will fit much longer.
I used to take spin class to shoot up my heart rate and burn major calories. When I go now, I just get a little sweat going and jam to the music. It's hard to not push myself on all the intervals, to not go all-out on sprints, and to keep my heart rate in check, but this is the new strength I'm building.
I've taken all my workouts down a notch (or five notches), but spin is mentally the hardest for me. Due to ligament pain, I've recently started to take some of the steeper inclines out of my treadmill walks, which is mentally hard too.
I'm building the strength to not beat myself up about it.
I know this post seemed really wordy and preg-focused, but it's good for everyone. Work out hard while you can if you can, but not every day is a muscular strength day. Some days require mental strength – the strength to back off during an injury, turn it down during pregnancy, or just to take an active rest day here and there.
- Ever had a hard time backing off for an injury/illness/pregnancy/etc?

QWill I be compensated for modeling?
Yes, models are paid $10-$50 per hour. Rates depend on the type of shoot, number of people in the shoot, and how many times you've modeled with us. Sometimes we also offer TFP shoots to build your portfolio if you are interested in that. We will let you know the rate of pay when proposing a shoot to you.
QHow many pictures will we take?
Usually around 100 per hour.
QWill I get copies of the pictures?
Yes, we will mail you a disc with the finished pictures 2-3 weeks after your shoot. There will be anywhere from 25 to 50 pictures. They will be royalty free and have no watermarks on them so you can use them for your own portfolio or promotion.

QAny other rules for the clothes?
Yes. It is very important that there are no visible words or logos on your clothes. These are copyrighted and cannot be used in the photos. Simple and plain is the best.
QDo I need to sign anything?
Yes. We will need you to sign a standard model release. We cannot take your picture without a signed model release.
QWhere will the shoot be?
Most of our shoots are in the Cumming, GA area, but sometimes that can change. We use a variety of sets so your shoot may take place at a house, business office, or studio with a green screen.

I've been shooting with Leaf backs for years now, in fact my first digital camera of any sort was a Leaf system. From the moment l saw the quality of the Leaf compared with other systems l was sold, the amazing detail it holds in shadows and across the spectrum is just amazing. Since then, l've seen all manners of digital capture and nothing yet has me convinced there is a better system.

A Must Read - Share
The Oscars are odd. It's just about the only reason left for having them; that and for the sake of the people who make red carpets. Every year when the nominations come out, there are three or four days of stories about the "surprises" and the people who were "snubbed." So Tom Hooper and Kathryn Bigelow were overlooked, but Michael Haneke was remarked on. And Helen Hunt got a supporting actress nod for The Sessions. No, I'm not suggesting that she was undeserving—far from it. But what scheme of things is it that decides her Cheryl in that film

6 Where in the world would you most like to visit and why?
I have always wanted to go to New York. I love cities and it ticks all the boxes for me. Luckily I can reach my goal this year and will go this summer for my birthday.
7 What is your guiltiest pleasure?
I quite like a "trashy american" tv box set to binge watch. Normally something so bad it's good.
8 Who is the one person in history you would like to meet?
Henry VIII. I am a huge Tudor history fan and would love to have met him to see what made him tick and why he chose to act in the way he did to the many women he loved.
9 Describe yourself in three words
Strong, kind and fair.
