Looking for colors to paint a house? How about 100% free paint colors? Learn where to find interior and exterior home paints that don't cost you a dime.
When you need colors to paint a house, paint stores are not the only place to look. If you are on a tight budget, consider re-using home painting colors instead of buying new ones. You will not only save money, but help save the environment as well.
If you register on this website, you will get access to free home painting colors, furniture, home decorations and more. Members of this site are people who don't like to throw things away. Instead, they "re-cycle" everyting that can still be used and give things a second life, by passing them on to others.
If you need some colors to paint a house, you can post a request on their bulletin board and someone will respond with an offer - sometimes within minutes. Or you can browse their listings of existing offers to see if anyone is giving away un-used interior or exterior home paint.
Don't be afraid to ask around. A lot of people will be only happy if you come and take some of their un-used paints off their hands! They've probably accumulated enough of half-gallons over the years to paint an entire house.
People's tastes change, they decide they want something different this time, or they simply forget that they have extra paint colors stored away. As a result, almost everyone has a garage or basement full of paint cans, some even un-opened.
House paints can't be stored forever, so don't be shy about offering to accept some of your friends'. Most likely, they will thank you, because now they don't have to deal with paint disposal issues.
When looking for colors to paint a house, the best place to start is your own garage. Chances are, you too have some paints left over after your last house painting project.
Maybe you even have enough paint for a small room, or for painting stripes on walls. Also see if you can mix some of the paint leftovers together (for example, cream, gold and beige) to produce enough paint for a bigger project.
To learn how to shift and adjust the color of the paint you find, continue to "How to Mix Custom Paint Colors".

Slow, steady but determined.
Done my longest run i've ever done today, 14.4 miles in 2h 44m, legs were suffering bit near the end, but feeling ok after some food and a hot bath
Thanks LTS, that must have been a little frustrating with being seconds over the 5 hours.
Thanks Tracey, and good luck with your 15, hope not as windy as it is here
Thats good going Tracey, well done , know exactly what you mean bout the head wind, bored with weather recently . You get the snow and ice, then the rain, which not too bad, then the rain stops and get Gail force winds . Would be nice just to do a run thats not slippy or windy
Evening all
Stomach permitting, I may do a little run tomorrow lunchtime Just to see how I get on
Well done everyone on their runs
Evening Roobarb, hope you manage to get a little run in
Hope you get that run in Roobs Fingers crossed for you.
Well done on the 15 miles Tracey.
Anyone on here doing Brighton Half on the 17th. I had hoped to do it but am now donning my Volunteer's had again and will be handing out medals. So if you are running it look out for me at the finish line And apparently all of us voluteers will be donning out hats this year because they are giving us all a red "marshals" hat so we can be recognised in the crowds
Today I have a new house guest arriving. His bed is ready and waiting and some new toys. He will be staying with me for just over two weeks. His name is Bones and he's the biggest, hairest, German Shepherd dog you ever did see!! His daddy (my grandson, Jay) is off on holiday for two weeks with his mum, step-dad and brother and sisters so grandma is on dog walking duties. AND I'm really looking forward to it. So, there won't be any running done by me for the next couple of weeks, but there will be lots of long walks
He's big enough to ride on Tracey!!!! In fact, the kids do sometimes when they're playing with them
The only problem I'm really going to have is that when Jay's away Bones won't eat so you have to sit with him all the time until he's finished his food. the kids stayed last weekend so I've got Jay's pyjamas and put them inside the bed that I've bought for Bones so that Bones can smell him. Hopefully it will help him to settle in as it's the first time he's stayed here.
Worse than having a baby stay
No run
Sorry Tracey - only just seen your post. I'm really tired so I'm having an early night - on my way to bed now.
Probably see you there then LTS. How does your daughter feel about her first race. I remember I was terrified, but then I always am before a race. Well, not terrified, but apprehensive. It's as much as I can do to get any food inside me on race morning because I'm choking with every mouthful
Just so you know - this is "The Hound", otherwise known as Bones
Back is killing me right now, not used to walking in wellies.
Had a lovely walk around the park this morning and had driven there because I had to take Ellie to school first, so it was just a quick jump into the car and a short drive home once he'd had enough. This afternoon we walked right across the park around the back of the caravan site (Sheepcote Tracey) and I was going to carry on the Sheepcote Valley but all of a sudden he decided he'd had enough and he was off. He's really good and will come back when he's called, but for safety's sake I put him on his lead well before we got back to the main road. He's obviously NOT been taught to walk to heel!!!!!
Need to build up on HIS stamina so I can get the lovely long walks in I'd mentally planned
That poor dog will go back a shadow of his former self Lyndy lol

Austin Wilson is hitting .298 in 271 at-bats for Class A Clinton (Iowa) in his second pro season after being drafted in the second round last spring by the Seattle Mariners. The 6-foot-4 outfielder from Los Angeles leads the LumberKings in home runs (11) and RBIs (52).
"I think I'm just seeing (the ball) and hitting it," the former Stanford standout told MILB.com. "I'm using less of my brain. One of my biggest problems ... is thinking about my mechanics and stuff that isn't relevant. It's good to analyze before the game, but not during the game. The biggest thing is dumbing it down."
MLB.com ranks Wilson as the Mariners' 12th-best prospect.
Wilson's career started slowly a year ago when he hit below .200 in his first month with Everett (Wash.) in the short-season Northwest League.
"Last year was a rough year for me," Wilson said. "I was playing hurt. My arm was still not 100 percent healthy and I went into pro ball with that. I was playing at 75 or 80 percent. I think I started 4-for-44, but I really get down about that. Things started clicking after that.
"I definitely shortened up my swing. That helped being on time with fastballs, because even in that league, guys are throwing hard. As you go up the levels, guys throw harder and balls are breaking more."
"When you put yourself in these big title matches and you don't come out on top, they sting," Mike Bryan said. "We've been in 26 Grand Slam finals; we've lost 11 of them. Those are daggers. But we usually bounce back. It's going to motivate us to go hit the gym."
"My goal for the rookie season is to try to better myself as a player," Clowney said. "And my goal in the NFL is to sack Andrew Luck." Luck was the NFL's top overall pick two years earlier.
"He's in my division, playing him two times a year," Clowney added. "He's a dangerous quarterback, he makes good decisions with the ball, so I just want to get after him and sack him one time."
Storen has the sixth-best WHIP in the National League at .797. He has allowed four of 11 inherited runners to score.
An all-star spot would have been unusual for a set-up man. Middle relievers don't get the glory of the pitchers who follow them, the closers.
"The save isn't always in the ninth," Storen told the Washington Post. "You face the heart of the order sometimes. It's a harder job in some aspects. You don't always know when you're going to pitch."
Storen has not allowed many baserunners this season, but when someone gets on Storen holds them well. He has yet to allow a stolen base after giving up four in five attempts a year ago.

Rainbow Rowell interview: Landline, fangirls, the internet
Sarah chats to Fangirl and Eleanor & Park author Rainbow Rowell about geekdom, romance, YA, and her new novel, Landline...
Rainbow Rowell writes love stories. Wait, yes, this is a geeky site, but just stay where you are. Rainbow Rowell writes love stories, and they're amazing – and geeky. Her first novel, Attachments, is about an IT guy in the 90s who accidentally falls in love with a woman whose emails he's paid to read. Eleanor And Park, her acclaimed second novel, is rammed with references to 80s pop culture, as her characters fall in love through their shared appreciation of music and comics. And Fangirl, well, as the title suggests, Fangirl is about fan culture, and a fanfiction writer learning to turn her online emotions into real life ones.
Basically, Rainbow Rowell writes characters you're going to identify with. I gulped down all of her novels to date in a single serving, finishing each of them in one evening (and in at least one case, turned back to the beginning to start reading it again). So when Rainbow came over to the UK to promote her fourth novel, Landline, I sat down with her to talk about writing, the internet, and true love…
I just read Landline this week, and it's wonderful. Where did the idea for it come from?
I wish I had a good story about it. It started as a really boring idea: a story about a woman who loses her cell phone and her whole life falls apart, which sounds like a really clichéd idea. So I was thinking about that and it very quickly became a woman who has a phone that calls into the past; she loses her cell phone and has to use a landline, and discovers it's a magic phone.
It's different from your previous two books, in that the characters are older. Was that a conscious decision, to write about adults rather than teens or young adults?
It was not a conscious decision. My first book, Attachments, is about adults; late twentysomethings, and when I wrote Eleanor And Park I didn't intentionally set out to write a YA book. I just had an idea. That's how it works for me. I had a lot of freedom at that point, because Attachments was out but it's not like it defined me in any way. In a way, if I'd been really successful with my first book, that may have made me feel hemmed in, like, "oh I have to keep doing that," but I wasn't so I felt like I could do whatever I felt like doing. And no-one told me not to!
Eleanor And Park has a very open ending. How often do people ask you about what happens after that ending?
Constantly. Constantly. Every day I wake up and there are five to ten tweets from people specifically asking me. Or when I tweet, people see I'm online, and I'll get kids in, like, Brazil, saying "hey hey hey, what are the three words at the end of Eleanor And Park?"
I feel like people think they want to know, but they don't really.
If you confirmed what they were—
It would be a let-down! It would be like, "oh, I guess that makes sense."
I think people want a happier ending for Eleanor and Park: a cleaner, neater, more settled ending. Like, they're dating, they're gonna get married, they're kissing. But I think if I had written that ending they would have hated it because it would have felt so out of sync with the book, it would have felt so fake and false at that point to shift gears and say "and then Park fixed everything."
Well, also, the person you fall in love with when you're sixteen isn't necessarily the person you're going to grow up and be with forever. At the end, I felt like I didn't need them to end up together forever, but I wanted to know that they would be okay.
They are, they are okay. That was something I reassured myself because I felt like I wasn't taking care of them as I was writing, I felt like I had put Eleanor in a really bad, dangerous situation, and I felt like in a way like falling in love had not been good for Park. It was really good in some ways, but it made him miserable too.
So by the end I had thought a lot about what was going to happen with them and where they would end up. I actually think they are true love. I think they're perfect for each other and I feel like the tragedy of them is that they fell in love too soon. I'm not sure you're supposed to meet your great love at sixteen. You can't cope with it. You have nothing you need to cope with that love at that age, so it's almost like it saved both of them, but in another way it was really destructive. In the book, Park tries to date somebody and it's just empty and dead. And if you were Eleanor, who would you date after Park?
Maybe they can get back together after a few years then.
Maybe they can!
Are you tempted to write a sequel?
Yeah, I plotted out a sequel right away and told my agent that I was gonna write the sequel next. He told me not to. He must be kicking himself now. He said to me, "you're writing fanfiction of your own characters now."
Now it's so well-loved that there is fanfiction about it, and people have written their own endings, so maybe they don't need you to write the sequel. They've written their own.
They can do that even if I write the sequel. Plenty of people ignore the epilogue of Harry Potter!
What I really love about your characters is that they feel real, and they don't just feel like fantasies. I love that the way they are attracted to one another and the way they fall in love isn't just because they're perfect and gorgeous, but they're attracted to specific little things about each other.
I think that that's unconventional for books and movies and TV maybe, but not real life. In real life, that's exactly how we fall in love. I think in real life, it's not like you're just attracted to the person who is the most conventionally handsome in a room. It's never happened to me. I've never walked into a room and been like "that guy." You get to know someone and then it's almost a chemical reaction between the two of you, and it's not like anyone else gets to vote on whether you are attracted to someone. You just are. To me, that just seems like the way you fall in love, so why wouldn't I write it that way?
I think there's a lot of fantasy in [something like] Twilight, which is a book I really like - I love Twilight, I'm not gonna be a Twilight denier! You think of Edward the vampire being the fantasy character, but Bella's a fantasy character too. She's the fantasy of every girl who thinks she's plain being secretly beautiful. I don't write that way, but I don't necessarily think it's wrong. I think it's wrong for everyone to write that way, because then I think girls get the message that they have to be a certain kind of beautiful, and boys too. So I don't mind it in other people's books but it would never occur to me to write that way.
Both Landline and Eleanor And Park have important phone conversations in them. Do you think talking on the phone is a skill we've lost?
We have lost phone conversations, because talking on cell phones is no fun at all, and it's harder than texting or typing. I do think we've lost that, but we've gained a lot with the internet. I feel like the internet has turned us all into letter writers. I think of my mother when I was a kid, she never wrote down anything but a grocery list. People didn't write, because you'd call. Why would you write anything? But now we're all writers.
So when people complain about grammar and punctuation, I think it isn't that our grammar and punctuation have gotten worse, but that it used to be that only writers wrote. Only people who were in education wrote, but now we all write: we all text, we all post. I feel like we've lost phones but we've gained this whole different type of correspondence that hasn't existed since the age of letter writing.
Speaking of the internet, and writing, brings us to Fangirl. I feel like there's a lot of snobbishness that springs us around fandom, and a lot of sexism, too, because fanfic seems to be a very female thing.
I love fandom. I think that the internet has given fans a different way to connect, a way to be more vocal and that's something I didn't have when I was younger. I would have felt so much less alone.
I got the internet at home when I was sixteen and the first thing I did was go on a Buffy forum.
The first thing I did was go on a Dawson's Creek site!
I feel like if you are a woman who likes geeky things, which I always have – those things are less accessible to you. It was hard for me as a woman in the 80s and early 90s to find other women who liked those things. My best friend was really into Star Wars and that was it, she was the only one I knew.
I remember going to comic book stores and they weren't rude to me, but you're conscious of being 'other' and they're conscious of you being 'other'. They're talking to each other about what's going to happen next in X-Men but they just give you your comic and that's it. I was never mistreated, I just felt like I didn't fit in. I think the internet has given girls and women a place to be fannish together, and to be fannish in their own way. I see girls on the internet doing all the stuff I wanted to do, or that I was doing all by myself, and they have a community. I feel like fanfiction is a community.
Teenage girls are really intense, and that scares people. It scares people how intense they get and it's kind of scary when you are a teenage girl. You feel things so strongly, and I think that scares people, so they want to turn it into something cute and be dismissive. But you have so much energy and appetite for things as a teenager.
There's a lot of talk at the moment about adults reading YA lit, but with Landline, will it work the other way? Your younger readers will be reading a story about adults. Do you think they'll relate to the characters?
Not in the same way, but I think they will. When I was a teenager, I was reading about adults. My favourite author was John Irving. It's not like somebody told me to read him, I just found his books and really loved them. There's this idea that people only want to read or only should read about people in the same situation as them. That's so dumb and weird, why would you do that? Why would you ever say, "you're sixteen and you live here, so you need to read about other sixteen year olds like you?"
Both adults and teenagers read Eleanor And Park. When we published it as YA in the US, we had this conversation about how it's set in the 80s, so will that bother teenagers? It doesn't bother them at all. Adults and teenagers just get a different read. For teenagers, it reminds them of what they're feeling now or what they would like to feel, but for an adult it stirs up all these old memories. One read isn't more valid than the other, you know?
The movie rights to Eleanor And Park recently got picked up. Is there any news on the film adaptation?
The news is that I need to start writing the screenplay.
Ha! Why are you sitting here talking to me? Go and do that! Is that your next project?
That's the very next thing, but I don't have that much time to do it so it won't take up too much of my life. I have to write it fast. And I just finished the first draft of my next YA novel, which is a fantasy.
Amazing. Rainbow Rowell, thank you very much!

Newt Embraces Romney, More or Less
Newt Gingrich offered a no-frills endorsement of Mitt Romney on Sunday, brushing aside suggestions that he's provided only lukewarm support for Mr. Romney after ending his own candidacy last week.
"I'm going to campaign for him; I favor him over Obama," Mr. Gingrich said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "As far as I'm concerned, I've endorsed him."
Mr. Gingrich also said on CNN's "State of the Union" that he wasn't sure what "magic word" he had to say to prove he was behind Romney as the Republicans' presumed nominee for the White House.
"I believe that he has earned the right to represent the Republican party," Mr. Gingrich said on CNN. "He has fought his way to the nomination. Nobody gave him an inch."
Mr. Gingrich suspended his campaign last Wednesday but left out a formal endorsement of his former rival. He said instead that Mr. Romney would be a better leader than President Barack Obama, who he called "the most radical, leftist president in American history."
On the campaign trail, Mr. Gingrich routinely called into question Mr. Romney's conservative credentials. He said Sunday that he was now willing to do anything to help the Romney campaign.

Planned Parenthood Funding Violates Texas Policy, State Says
Planned Parenthood clinics that "promote" abortion violate Texas policy and have no right to public funding, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said in a filing yesterday with the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
Texas is appealing a court order that temporarily requires the state to keep subsidizing the clinics. The state had planned to stop the funding this month.
"Texas has adopted a strong public policy preventing taxpayer funds from subsidizing the provision or promotion of elective abortion," Abbott said in the appellate filing. "The Constitution permits the government to convey its chosen message without funding those who would undermine that message."
Planned Parenthood-affiliated groups sued Texas last month to block a regulation that would prevent the state from contracting with entities affiliated with abortion providers. It was designed to exclude operators of 49 health centers from a state-funded program that provides health care to thousands of low-income women.
A federal judge in Austin issued an injunction preventing Texas from cutting off public funds while the court challenge is pending. The New Orleans appellate court will hear arguments on the preliminary injunction on June 7.
State Ban
The case pits Texas Governor Rick Perry, a Republican, against President Barack Obama, a Democrat. Perry pledged earlier this year to replace almost $30 million in federal funds for a women's health program that the Obama administration cut off because of the state ban on abortion providers. Obama has said Texas can't block federally approved organizations such as Planned Parenthood from participating in programs underwritten by Medicaid, which pays for health services for the poor.
Abbott asked the appeals court to require Planned Parenthood to post a "sufficient" bond against the almost $1 million-per-month in taxpayer funds the clinics will receive if the injunction is upheld.
The district court case is Planned Parenthood of Hidalgo County Texas v. Suehs, 12-00322, U.S. District Court, Western District of Texas (Austin). The appeals court case is Planned Parenthood of Hidalgo County Texas v. Suehs, 12-50377, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (New Orleans).

SICK! 2013: Eleonora: Bambie
Eleonora is Jochem Stavenuiter's mother. When he was fifteen years old, she suffered a stroke and, as a consequence, lost her memory.
Rooted in this true story, this honest and profoundly insightful performance is about forgetting who you are. It is about struggling to retain dignity and identity and about weekly visits to an Alzheimer clinic. It is also about hope, the hope that one day she will be cured.
Featuring a discussion between Jochem Stavenuiter and Dr. Sue Eckstein, Lecturer in Clinical and Biomedical Ethics at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, exploring the condition from personal, ethical and medical perspectives.

Dutch theatre company Bambie creates physical theatre that moves and amazes. Theatre in which the actors work up a sweat while letting their imaginations run riot. With Bambie, slapstick can go hand-in-hand with poetic choreography. This is theatre created 'on the floor', and forged by the bodies of the actors. What starts out with big themes and big emotions ends up as pursuits, death-defying leaps, mock battles and soothing rituals. The starting point is the body as reflector of the human soul. Impulses and urges, dreams and frustration are exaggerated until the characters on the stage are almost crushed beneath their weight.

Yes, I can ping the router. How do I know if the router is the default

LEE THEIS IS A DIRT MAN. He builds dirtbike tracks, and he promotes dirtbike racing in several classes throughout the Midwest. A former racer, Theis has been involved in dirtbike racing for more than 20 years. He's a man worth listening to when he talks about the reasons for the slide in the retail sales of dirtbikes — even though there is continuing interest in the sport among riders.
Theis owns and operates several related companies, the most visible being Motokazie.com, the motorsports promotions company based in suburban Minneapolis that hosted more than 90 events last year. His events draw about 15,000 entries for races and practices annually and are viewed by close to 35,000 spectators.
Motokazie promotes events for motocross, Supercross, pit bikes, supermoto and special ATVs. Theis also builds tracks through his Motokazie Motocross Track Builders company (motocrosstrackbuilders.com). Theis' team builds about two dozen private dirtbike tracks and 20 commercial Supercross tracks each year. Over the last decade, he's built more than 200 tracks in the U.S.
Theis' business obviously is tied closely to dirtbikes, and he's not happy about what he's been seeing over the last several years. His revenues and the number of riders participating in his events are down about 20 percent since 2003, his peak year.
The decline that Theis is seeing is much less than the one reported by the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) — one reason for optimism. In 2005, MIC member companies reported dirtbike sales of just under 277,000 units, off about 13,000 units or 4 percent from the previous year. The decline continued in 2006 when sales slipped another 9 percent (25,000 units) and 2007 when sales dropped a whopping 17 percent to about 209,000 units.
In the first quarter this year, the sharp drop continued. Retail sales through March this year were off 17 percent (41,000 units sold), down from the 50,000 units sold in during Q1 2007.
Theis says his numbers remain stronger than the retail sales figures reported by the MIC because his riders don't buy a new bike every year, so his business is declining at a slower rate than retail sales figures.
"My guys can ride an older bike," he says. "That's why my numbers are better than the MIC. My guys can ride five-year-old bikes if they can't afford a new one."
There might be reason for some optimism hidden among the gloomy figures reported by the MIC. Theis believes that dirtbike riders haven't abandoned the sport; they simply don't have the disposable income to support it right now.
"It's not that they don't like (the sport) any more," says Theis, "They can't afford it. Most of the [drop off] in dirtbike sales has to do with economic reasons. There are a lot of people who want to ride, but they just can't afford it."
Theis ticks off three factors that have knocked his riders off the track:
- Dirtbike riders, especially the ones who participate in events promoted by Theis, tend to be blue-collar workers. These are the people most affected by the economic slowdown and housing slump. "They're just running low on disposable income," he says.
- Increased fuel costs really hurt racers and dirt bike riders who have to drive long distances to find open space on which to ride.
- The shift to four-strokes from two-strokes. "[Bikes] cost more to buy and more to maintain," he points out. The former racer says he used to buy a 250cc bike for $4,000; today, a comparable model costs about $6,500. Drivetrains today cost $1,600, perhaps four times what they used to cost.
Sound is a problem. Thies would like OEMs to reduce noise levels by several decibels — to about 96 dB. "Overall, it would be good for our sport," he says. A 3dB drop is easy to do and would mean a reduction of only about 1.5 hp, he notes.
The availability of riding areas also is declining, he agrees, a situation that won't improve on its own. "Today, [in Minnesota] you have to go three or four hours to find open riding or trail riding."
Noise and riding areas: We've heard those complaints before. But perhaps if we make changes in these two areas, we'll be ready to meet increased consumer demand when the economy turns around.

; it can be simple knit stitch and it will end up a mess. I've lost track of the amount of projects I've had to drop because of this. After frogging or outright starting over (after somehow getting the mass of knots untangled) so often... well... I give up on that particular pattern.
What'll help make knitting less difficult?
l can sympathize with you. I happen to be a really slow learner and it can take me a long time to finish a project or decide to frog it forever. I end up using yarn that has been frogged many, many times. It's depressing really. But sometimes I figure something out and I get a project finished and its great. I'm wearing a sweater I knit right now - I love it!
I also think each knitter is going to have a personal source of tension for them that they have to learn to deal with. For me, it's money. Anything I make I need to be able to use, because that money comes out of my clothing budget (mostly-sometimes it spills over into other ones
). This used to be really stressful for me, especially when I first started knitting. I HAD to get it right, but the tension I created within myself meant that I rarely did.
I also went through a spell where Ravelry was having a really negative affect on me. I saw all these people on the site who seemed to complete a perfect sweater a week, complete with gorgeous pictures and I thought that meant I had to also be that prolific and perfect. This is as bad as my other problem and it made me obsessed with trying to knit at a certain speed. I have problems with my right hand and I will never be a fast knitter. Trying to keep up with everyone else had me dropping stitches and misreading patterns all over the place. Gah, that was a bad time. I got over that by making a serious effort not to care anymore about my speed. I then changed from knitting English style to Continental, which took the tensioning task away from my right hand and really helped me find a better rhythm. I also decided to no longer look at people's start and completion dates and by not filling in my own dates on Ravelry. I got through those steps by deconstructing my problem over time and trying different solutions.
Being tense takes energy from everything else. Now I make a conscious effort to chill out. I've had to really take a look at what I wanted knitting to contribute to my life. I couldn't let just take the place of some ready-made items because then I was making a bit of my life like a factory job. Knitting is awesome and I try to honor that by making sure the time I spend knitting is as pleasant as I can make it. I try to do things like listen to music I like while knitting and make sure I take breaks if I find myself a little too upset that I can't figure out short rows. I also don't allow myself to get too attached to a project, so if it doesn't work out I can put the yarn away for another day and then I do this:
Just kidding about that last part, I just like that little guy!

Attachment C Issues of IAS Workload Policy
The IAS Committee continues to study the issue of implementing a standard workload policy that will encompass IAS across campus. Any such policy should not benefit one sector of IAS, while disadvantaging another. The Committee has agreed upon a set of values that it feels should be incorporated into such a workload policy and requests Faculty Senate feedback. The statements in the Possible Wording column came from the workload policy developed in conjunction with the Provost's Office and Human Resources and presented at the Open Forum on February 23rd.
Possible Wording as of 2/17/06
Any workload policy should be consistent across colleges, but the policy should give flexibility to allow individual colleges and/or departments/programs to maintain current standards; such as, accreditation policies, class size standards, etc.
Defining workload as a range of teaching hours would allow for flexibility, while still defining the minimum for a full-time appointment and the limit after which an overload would be paid.
Determination of full-time equivalency will be based on a minimum of 12 contact hours and a maximum of 15 contact hours per semester. Generally, a full-time load will include no more than 4 different course preparations in a single semester and generally no more than 6 different course preparations in an academic year. If the contact hour load exceeds the 12 to 15 hour equivalency, an overload will be paid.
1. If half-time is set at 8 contact hours, how many IAS will be working 9 hours?
2. How will adopting a range, which makes it possible for one IAS to teach 15 contact hours, affect the overall quality of education offered at UWL?
3. The IAS Committee used contact hours since it is how Faculty workload is defined in Senate Bylaws. Does this in any way put one set of IAS at a disadvantage/advantage?
4. Implementation of contracts reflecting increased job security (i.e., multi-year and renewable) should be tied to the adoption of a new workload policy.
A set of criteria should be outlined by which individual workload equivalency will be set.
1. This set of criteria prevents IAS from being assigned a 15 contact hour load and then being asked to serve on committees, oversee student teachers, advise students, etc. (without compensation) to fulfill departmental needs or to fulfill career progression requirements.
2. The IAS committee does not have the knowledge of individual departments to set a number for class size, etc. – therefore, this must be determined by individual departments and addressed in their bylaws.
3. This list of criteria is not meant to be all encompassing; therefore, department bylaws must include such specifics.
1. Criteria that should be considered in setting the 15 contact hour workload equivalency are the following: service commitments, advising, professional development, graduate instruction, laboratory preparation, distance learning, thesis supervision, class size, writing content, supervision of individual student work (e.g., student teachers, teaching assistants, undergraduate research, independent study, etc.).
2. Department bylaws should be changed to reflect this workload policy and reduction criteria.
1. Can we be certain that the criteria will be used to set workload – that all IAS will NOT be teaching 15 hours?
2. Should IAS who are paid by the credit be governed by this policy – or should they be held to 12 contact hours? Should a standard amount per credit be set for all IAS who are paid by the credit? The committee is still not entirely clear how the amount paid per credit will be calculated under a 15 credit load – will it remain $1100 per credit? Or will the base be divided by 15 to arrive at a new $ per credit amount (in the same way that the $1100 was arrived at for a 12 credit load)?
The department or program to which an IAS is assigned determines individual IAS workloads.
The operative unit in determining workload equivalencies shall be departments and programs. OR Bylaws Faculty WL statement
Who is accountable in the end – department, dean, provost?
What happens if department chair sets equivalency and dean says No OR if chair & dean agree and provost says No?
An appeals process is necessary to maintain a fair and unbiased application of the workload policy with regards to all IAS.

Weekend blaze finally contained
Published: Sunday, February 1, 2009 at 5:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 1, 2009 at 5:14 p.m.
MILL SPRING A weekend underground fire wound down on Sunday afternoon as firefighters allowed the blaze to burn itself out, an area fire chief said.
The blaze began on Friday as firefighters responded to Sunny View Pallet Co., on Big Level Road in the Sunny View community of Polk County.
The fire started in a pit used by the pallet company to store wood scraps, said Marty McGuinn, Sunny View Fire Department Chief.
But crews from several area departments responded to another call around 8 a.m. Saturday about the blaze, he said.
Early Friday morning, we got a call and the fire department went up there and put some water on it, but it rekindled early Saturday morning, McGuinn said. The firefighters brought in some heavy equipment Saturday and dug a trench all the way around the outside of what was burning, so it didnt spread to the rest of the yard. Theres no danger of it spreading to anything else, but they dug down deep enough to cut it off. They are just having to let it burn off.
It wasnt known how the fire started, the fire chief said. The area where the underground fire was located is in the northeastern part of Polk County. McGuinn estimated that the fire covered about an acre. Firefighters cleared the area around 1 p.m. Sunday, he said.
It is hard to tell how big that scrap pit was or how deep it went, he said. As long as it is within the trenches there, they are just going to let it burn out. We didnt lose anything of value and no one was injured. It was a long day, but a good one.
No investigation into the fire is planned, he said.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) Some frightening moments for a Lexington middle school student Thursday. Investigators say a man tried to lure her into his truck as she walked to a bus stop.
It happened Thursday morning near the intersection of Lochdale Terrace and Millpond Road.
Now students at multiple schools have been told to be on alert.
Tucked behind the busy streets of Nicholasville Road, sits a quiet neighborhood in the Magnolia Run area. A neighborhood considered so safe that many parents don't think twice about letting their kids walk alone to the bus stop.
But what happened Thursday morning is making parents think twice about how safe their kids really are.
Police say a 14-year-old girl was walking down Lochdale Terrace towards the bus stop when a suspicious man tried to lure her into his pickup truck.
The girl ran away but he circled the block and tried his stint a second time; that's when the young girl ran to a neighbor's house and called police.
Now, Fayette County school officials are taking action by sending home a letter alerting parents and students at Jessie Clark Middle School, Wellington, Stonewall and Picadome Elementary Schools.
Many parents living in the neighborhood where the incident took place say it's common for their kids to walk to the bus stop by themselves but after this, they say they'll be keeping a much closer eye on their children.
"Be careful with your kids. I used to let her walk down to the bus stop but now I will not, each parent should just do something to make sure their kids are safe because you never know what could happen to them," said Nasiba Abdulla, who lives nearby.
The suspect is described as a white man in his mid-20s to mid-30s with a dark tan and dark hair. He was driving a reddish pickup truck with chrome stacks.
Officers are increasing patrols in the area.
Here's the letter sent to the schools:
We have had a wonderful start to our school year! The kids are full of enthusiasm for learning and our staff is excited to work with every student and family to ensure academic and social success!
As you know, your children are our number one priority at Jessie Clark Middle and their safety and well-being are of utmost importance to us. In an effort to maintain open lines of communication between home and school, I wanted to let you know about an incident that happened today in one of the neighborhoods our school serves.
This morning near the intersection of Winthrop Drive and Millpond Road, a Jessie Clark Middle School student on the way to the bus stop was approached by a man driving a reddish pickup truck with chrome stacks. According to her report to the Lexington Police, the man told the student he was looking for his dog and asked her to get into the truck with him. The student screamed and ran away and the truck sped off. She resumed her walk the bus stop and the truck circled back alongside her again. She screamed again and ran to a nearby home for assistance. The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-20s to mid-30s with a dark tan and dark hair.
The incident has been reported to the Lexington Police Department and they are investigating. Students also reported seeing this suspicious truck in the area yesterday. Officers will also increase patrols in the vicinity where the truck has been spotted.
This provides an excellent opportunity to reinforce with our kids how important it is for them to be aware of their surroundings and to be cautious around strangers. Students who walk to school or the bus stop are encouraged to stay in pairs or groups, avoid darkened areas and use main streets instead of shortcuts. Especially with school being out tomorrow, please be vigilant about keeping an eye on your children and encourage them to be careful.
Thank you for the privilege of working with your children and for your understanding that we take matters like this very seriously. As always, please don't hesitate to call me with questions or concerns at 381-3036.

Researchers say sexual behaviors, attraction, and self-identity vary by age, marital and cohabiting status, education, and race and Hispanic origin. Behaviors are related to birth and pregnancy rates and also to the incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including the HIV virus that causes AIDS. About half of 19 million new STIs occur among people ages 15 to 24, according to the CDC.
The agency says African-American teenagers ages 15-19 had the highest rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea in 2008, followed by African-American females ages 20-24.
Much of the data for the new report were collected via computer-assisted interviewing, which avoids the necessity of respondents giving answers to a person. Among women ages 15 to 44 in the 2006-2008 period, only 11% said they had never engaged in any form of sexual activity with a male partner.
Other key findings:
- 6.1% of women in that age group had engaged in sex in their lifetime, but no sexual activity in the past 12 months.
- 69% had engaged in sex with one male partner in the past year, about 8% two partners, and 5% three or more.
- Among women 25 to 44, only 1.6% said they had never engaged in any form of sexual activity with a male partner, 6.6% reported having sex with a male, though not in the past year, and 82% reported one partner in the past 12 months.
Researchers say that having one partner in the past year was much more common among older women, presumably because more of these women were married. About 11% of men reported no sexual contact of any kind with a female partner in the past year, 6.6% had no opposite-sex partner in the past year, 63% had engaged in sexual activity with one partner, 8.6% with two, and about 10% with three or more.
The CDC says the new report will be useful for planning programs aimed at preventing the spread of sexually transmitted infections and to prevent unintended pregnancies.

Here's the truth: cooking at home isn't necessarily hard, but keeping track of the ingredients you do have on hand, the ones you still need to buy and what grocery stores are actually going to carry the goods on your list (why can't I ever find cilantro when I need to!?) can be well, tricky. Especially if you have two roommates and all their stuff in your cabinets, too. Which brings us to my night last night. I was held up at the office late then rushed trip at the grocery store to get ingredients for the mahimahi tacos from the SELF's June issue that I was planning to make for my boyfriend and myself. And full disclosure, I didn't check my list carefully and ended up being pretty ill-prepared. Certain ingredients I thought I already had, I didn't, and the things I did manage to get weren't exactly right.
And I was really hungry. And really wanting these tacos.
As this was coming to light in my tiny NYC apartment, I realized I had a choice: have a mahimahi taco tantrum and break my cook-at-home streak, surrendering to takeout, or tough it out. I'm proud to say, I remained strong and learned a good lesson. Actually, two lessons. First: if you're dead set on making a certain recipe…save it for a night when you have the time to be methodical in your shopping and prep. And second: there is no such thing as failed food (well, almost no such thing). If you've got food in front of you, you can come up with a decent plan B. You just have to be nimble and a little optimistic.
Got zero time to cook tonight? Try my Backup Tacos:
1 lb mahimahi
4 tbsp lime juice
2-3 whole limes
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tsp cumin
Dash of salt
Dash of pepper
2 cups chopped cabbage or lettuce
1 tsp lime zest
Grated mozzarella
Sour cream
Corn tortillas
Line a baking sheet with tinfoil and pre-heat over to 450 degree. Place fish on the baking sheet. Mix four tablespoons limejuice together with cumin and garlic. Spread mixture on fish for seasoning. Bake for 25 minutes. Now you'll just create a taco station with chopped cabbage, sour cream, guacamole, corn tortillas and cheese. Chop fish into smaller pieces when it's cooked through and put into a separate bowl and season with fresh squeeze lime juice from the whole limes and lime zest. Then combine as you want for a fishy feast.
I do really want to try the real mahimahi tacos and trust me, you'll hear about my second attempt!

The extraordinary life of Roger Casement: celebrated humanitarian and condemned Irish revolutionary
The Trial of Roger Casement
In 1911, Roger Casement was knighted by King George V for his groundbreaking humanitarian work in Africa and South America. Five years later, he was hanged for treason. The Trial of Roger Casement charts the events that led a man renowned for his compassion to the noose.
Based on real events, Fionnuala Doran's absorbing graphic novel explores Casement's startling downfall, from his efforts to secure German backing for an independent Ireland to his disastrous return home and subsequent arrest. Condemned as a revolutionary, his sexuality laid bare by the circulation of his private journals, Casement's fate was all but sealed. And yet, on his final day in the courtroom, he delivered a brave, impassioned speech that would resonate long after his death.

LINDEN - The Linden Unified School District will begin interviewing superintendent candidates at a special meeting today.
Interim Superintendent Leo Zuber said the district has identified four finalists who will be interviewed today and Friday by district trustees and a community panel. The top two candidates will be brought back for a second, more in-depth interview.
Zuber said he expects a final candidate could be offered the job in early December.
Linden Unified has been searching for a full-time superintendent since former Superintendent Michael Gonzales was placed on leave amid sexual harassment allegations last school year. He eventually agreed to resign over the summer.

Tuesday Augusta, 11, 2009
Augusta, Ga--According to many, it's never too early to talk football and that includes Georgia Bulldog football. That was the case Tuesday evening in Augusta with the Bulldog club get together.
Plenty of folks on hand this evening with Loren Smith, Vince Dooley and tonight's guest of honor Dan Magill coming to town. Dooley says Magill is easily one of the most important people in Georgia history having worn many hats during his tenure with the Bulldogs. Of course a lot of folks wanting to find out just how good those Dawgs will be when the season starts. Compared to last year, the pressure to win will be less.
"Well I think they have a much better chance of making people happier this year then last year which was an almost impossible task. I think there's a re-commitment, dedication and I think we'll surprise some people along the way this year." said former coach Vince Dooley
Bulldogs already going through two a days as they're looking forward to the start of the season. The offensive line, with pretty much everyone back, might have to carry the load to start things off.

The Diamond as Big as the Ritz
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Tools of Characterization
Character Analysis
Names are important to the imagery, allegory, and overall themes of "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz." Let's start with the Washingtons, whose last name descends, Percy explains, from George Washington himself. By connecting the Washington family with one of our founding fathers, Fitzgerald draws a parallel between the Washingtons' own family history and the history of the United States. This connection sets up the parable of the expansion of the U.S. into the West.
We've also got the names of places to consider; by naming John's hometown "Hades," Fitzgerald establishes one of the key elements in his religious allegory. (Be sure to check out "Symbols, Imagery, Allegory" for more on this.)
Social Status
In a story about a nation obsessed with wealth, social status is an important character clue. The Washingtons' excessive wealth is their single most defining characteristic. Meanwhile Unger is by contrast from an affluent but not entirely elite family in the South. "A function that in Hades would be considered elaborate would doubtless be hailed by a Chicago beef-princess as 'perhaps a little tacky,'" explains Fitzgerald (1.3). Because of this social disadvantage, John is somewhat of an outsider, both at St. Midas and later at the Washington estate.
Family Life
John's family life is presented to us in the beginning of the text and is later contrasted with the Washingtons'. We know that he is close to his family – his departure is a tearful one – and that he gets his values from them, (he later reflects that "the simple piety prevalent in Hades has the earnest worship of and respect for riches as the first article of its creed." We also know that if he deviated from this standard "his parents would have turned away in horror at the blasphemy" (2.12). Similarly, Kismine and Percy get their own values from their father, Braddock, who must have assimilated them from his from his father, Fitz-Norman. John even notes that "Percy and Kismine seemed to have inherited the arrogant attitude in all its harsh magnificence from their father," in that "a chaste and consistent selfishness ran like a pattern through their every idea" (8.2).

As early as T 117/86 (OJ 1989, 401), it was pointed out that facts and evidence in support of an opposition which were presented after the nine-month period had expired were out of time and late, and might or might not be admitted into the proceedings as a matter of discretion under Art. 114(2) EPC 1973. Boards had to ensure that proceedings were conducted expeditiously, and other parties fairly treated. The parties should submit all the facts, evidence and arguments relevant to their case as early and completely as possible, particularly when such an evidence was already known to the party concerned (see T 101/87, T 237/89, T 951/91, OJ 1995, 202, T 34/01, T 1182/01, T 927/04, T 1029/05).
In exercising its discretion the board takes account of the circumstances of the specific case, in particular the interests of the parties and the procedural economy of the appeal proceedings, having in mind the purpose of these proceedings (T 123/08).
There are restrictions on the admission of new submissions because parties cannot be given complete freedom in their conduct of proceedings given, in particular, the need in inter partes (adversarial) procedures to act fairly towards the other party and, more generally, the requirements of due process (T 1685/07).
In T 1488/08 the patent had been opposed under Art. 100(a) and (c) EPC 1973. In their written statement setting out the grounds of appeal, however, the appellants had only invoked lack of inventive step. The board found that the new objections of added subjectmatter and lack of novelty had only been raised after the respondents had submitted their reply and were therefore late filed. The appellants had not cited any objective reasons to justify the filing of these objections at a later stage than the appeal. Their attempt to re-introduce them could therefore only be regarded as a change of position determined by procedural tactics ("salami" tactics). On that basis alone, the board considered, in view of procedural economy, that it should exercise its discretion not to admit the late filed objections.

High Protein Low/No Carb diet does help you lose more pounds faster (mostly water weight because high protein deits are dehydrating) With little/no carbs to help your muscles recover your body will use the protein u eat for energy not leaving enough to maintain/repair/build muscle (you dont want to lose lean muscle mass)
Make sure to stay away from the wrong types of carbs from processed foods w/sugar, high frucutose corn syrup, white flour, white rice, packaged foods, alcohol....stick to unrefined, whole foods: fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains... your muscles are most receptive to producting new gycogen within the first few hours after your workout - you should therefore take in some carbs along with protein - best type of carb during this time is high glycemic because it will be rapidly absorbed.
I follow this formula for fat loss
28 calories/ lb
1 gram protein/ lb
1.4 grams carbs/ lb
.36 grams fat/ lb

A New York Times newspaper dated April 16, 1912, picturing the Titanic and her captain on the front page, owned by a Lowell man will soon sell at auction, along with more than 5,000 other artifacts salvaged from the Titanic, and owned by Premier Exhibitions, which own salvage rights to the Titanic.
Auction will be held in New York on April 15, marking the 100th anniversary of the day the White Star liner on its maiden voyage to New York from Southhampton, England, slipped under the icy North Atlantic Ocean after hitting an iceberg off New Foundland. No reserve price has been set on the artifacts appraised at $189 million. The man in Lowell, who doesn't want his name mentioned in my column, says he bought the historical headline newspaper off eBay several years ago. The newspaper will be sold separately from the 5,000 artifacts. I will notify you through this column what it brings at auction.

Rosaleen O'Rourke of The Four Masters Bookshop in Donegal town added, "Sales of the whole trilogy have been very good here. We anticipated the level of interest and so had pre-ordered a good quantity. One day we were sold out but that was the only day. People are still looking for it but the demand doesn't seem to be just as strong as when it first came out. The first few weeks were huge but it's settled down a bit now. The majority of people are coming back to buy the second and third books as well."
PJ Sweeney of Books and Charts in Dungloe admits, with a bit of chagrin, that they were a bit late to get in on the act.
He said: "We only got our hands on the book last week, after much searching for it. There was a huge amount of interest in it, and everyone seems to be very curious about it."

When one-year-old Niamh Anne Kerrigan arrived home from Melbourne, Australia with her mother Majella, a very special welcome lay in store in Doughmakone, Louisburgh.
There to see her for the first time were not only her four grandparents but, amazingly, her four great-grandmothers, who between them share 369 years on this planet.
Majella, who is daughter of John and Sheila Tiernan from Doughmakone, is married to Enda Kerrigan, son of Mickey and Rita Kerrigan from Leenane. They moved to Melbourne in November 2008.
"Niamh Anne was born last year so this is her first trip home to Ireland. We had her decked out in a combined Mayo and Galway jersey which has gone down very well with the relations in both counties! The Anne part of her name is taken directly from two of her great-grannies. She also shares her birthday with her great-granny Gretta Tiernan," said Enda.
For grandparents John and Sheila Tiernan in Doughmakone and Mickey and Rita Kerrigan in Leenane, it has been a special time to see their new granddaughter.
But it has been an exceptional delight for her four great-grannies to see little Niamh and share in this momentous occasion. Annie Kerrigan is 96 and lives in Leenane, Eileen Kelly is 92 years and resides in Carraholly, Westport, and Gretta Tiernan from Doughmakone is 93. Annie Laffey lives in Renvyle and, at 88, is the baby of the great-grannies!

Leg Amputated
A Talented Irish rugby player was left fighting for his life after a horrific train accident in Australia.
Gavin Owens, 30, suffered head and back injuries and had to have his right leg amputated after he was struck by an express train near his home in New South Wales.
Owens, from Cobh, Co. Cork, was left semi-conscious with leg injuries by the side of the tracks as Australian trains, by law, are not allowed to stop.
The locomotive driver immediately radioed an alert to the emergency services and the injured Irishman was airlifted to hospital.
Such was the damage to his leg that surgeons had no option but to amputate.
Owens is now recovering from his ordeal, and friends have launched a special fundraising appeal to allow him return to Ireland.
He was walking home after celebrating the end of the rugby season with the local team he played for when the tragedy occurred.
He had been working in a meat plant and was just a short distance from his home when the accident happened last weekend.
The young man had been playing rugby for a local team in Scone, a small town north of Sydney in New South Wales.
His grandfather said they are now determined to bring Gavin back to Ireland.
"He grew up here with me here in Cobh. He is my buddy and my friend," he said.
Workmates and friends in Scone raised almost €5,000 in one night, and a series of events is planned in Sydney and other Australian cities over coming weeks.

"No one wakes up in the morning and says, "I want to gain 150 pounds and I will start right now!" -- Tricia Cunningham
"What's for dinner?"
Those three words make up one of the most frequently asked questions in our English language.
Recalling from my past, I marvel at how my mother managed to cook day after day to feed her husband and three growing boys after working all day in the family grocery store.
Most of her meals were prepared from scratch and the vegetables she selected were always fresh and plentiful. Even more remarkable was the fact she had no training on how to cook, but used her judgment on what was most nourishing for the family.
Those were the days when appliances like refrigerators and freezers were unavailable except for families who could afford them. The rest of us relied on ice boxes and pantries to store our perishable foods. It was also the reason we seldom had leftovers.
If you've never heard the term icebox, it was an insulated fixture that had a compartment on top to hold a block of ice which did a fairly good job keeping foods fresh as long as the ice held out. Call it old school. I still refer to our refrigerator as an icebox.
Fast foods? I never heard that term used until the late '40s. Mel's Drive-In, Casper's Hot Dogs, and Fenton's were the favorite hangouts for those of us who grew up in the East Bay.
Paraphrasing a line from an old song: "We've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go."
We have equipment now that do the work which once required our physical effort to complete. All-you-can-eat and fast food restaurants have replaced home-cooked meals in many households. Walkers walk nowadays primarily for exercise. Those who own treadmills do it in the comfort of their homes. There was a time when people walked out of necessity to get where they were going.
Computers are slowly consuming our lives, and those who know how to manipulate them will do well, particularly in the business world.
Thanks to modern technology, we know more about the human body and are able to duplicate organs and body parts that at one time were deemed impossible to recreate. And we've got pills that control and cure almost every imaginable ailment. Or so it's claimed.
On the dark side, we are a nation beset with overweight, emotionally disturbed and chemically dependent citizens, and their number is continuing to swell as we speak.
So who is to blame?
Despite the price of gasoline, people will drive two blocks for a quart of milk or six-pack of beer. We used to walk a mile to school, even in inclement weather. We rarely rode in cars.
Television, the computer and cellular phones take up the bulk of free time of today's young people. We listened to the radio while indoors but preferred going outside to play capture the flag, red rover, and kick the can.
More than half of our young people indulge in fast foods and carbonated drinks. That wasn't a problem back then. We neither had such eateries or the money, if we did.
I don't propose reliving the past as an answer to today's dilemma. After all, our generation also had more than it's share of problems.
I don't profess to have an answer, although one thing is for certain. I have a vested interest in my grandson's future and will do everything I can to preserve it.
My wife and I are currently enrolled in a four-week course, "Healthy Food, Healthy You Cooking Class" sponsored by Fresh Approach at the Concord Senior Center. The program is designed to teach us how to prepare meals using fresh vegetables, fruits and nuts, the nutritional values of the meals, and how to shop on a budget.
When I first heard of the class, I was reluctant to sign up. After all, my wife does most of the cooking and I didn't care to sit and listen to someone speak on a topic that was of little interest to me. In deference to my wife, I accompanied her to the senior center for the first session.
I didn't realize the course was limited to 10 adults, and all 10 showed up. With such a small group, I had no choice but to focus my undivided attention on the presentation.
Three food experts, farmers market chefs Anna Buss and Mario Hernandez, and dietitian Alana Hendrikson, share the platform. I will spare the details of how the first hour went, but will say the time passed too quickly.
We have now concluded our third meeting. For someone who hadn't planned on attending, I've learned a new way to eat using such staples as kale, quinoa, and fennel in salads, soups and even main courses.
Doesn't sound exciting to you meat-and-potato lovers? It didn't to me either ... that is, until I tried it and found the dishes surprisingly tasty and enjoyable, but more importantly, totally healthy.
I understand from Chef Buss that ours is the last training course for the year, but her company will begin scheduling new classes at different locations in the spring. There is a nominal registration fee. Contact Anna Buss at annabusspcfma.com.
Learning to eat healthy is one sure way to avoid most ailments and will pay off as you grow older. I will attest to that.
A valuable tip: Your freshest and cheapest produce comes from your local farmers market.
Happy Thanksgiving!
