I made the loaded potato soup today with the frozen hash browns. It was delicious and SO EASY!!!ReplyDelete
I have always made the longer (roux) versin too. I'm definately trying this one. Thanks. Visiting from Tempt My Tummy Tuesdays.ReplyDelete
I made this yesterday, and boy was it good! My husband told me that it was the best potato soup he's ever put in his mouth! He said it's definitely a keeper! :) YaaaY!...lol...Thanks for sharing this simple, and comforting soup! Oh and by the way, I love your site! Found ya threw Southern Plate! :)ReplyDelete
I make this soup using shredded frozen hash brown potatoes, and I also add julienne cut carrots. I like to saute the onions, celery, garlic and carrots in some butter/olive oil, to give it a richer flavor...ReplyDelete
Made this soup today and it was wonderful!! Thank you for another great recipe :o)ReplyDelete
Hi, Brandie!ReplyDelete
I love your site. Your recipes are great, and my picky seven-year-old daughter really enjoys them.
Question: Can this potato soup be frozen? Since it's just my daughter and me, I'm assuming we'll have leftovers . . . and having some on-hand in the freezer would be nice if you think it would work.
just was wondering if this could be cooked on high for 4 hours instead of slow on 8? Thanks!ReplyDelete
i made this last night and my husband asked why i can't make soups like this all the time. So i am now making it again. Added the garlic last night but forgot the celery so added it tonight but had no more garlic. It was delicious!ReplyDelete
I made this last night and it was AMAZING! This marks my fifth recipe of yours I've made and my husband and I have loved every one! So far we've made your Oreo Pudding Poke Cake (made for my husband's birthday last year and loved by everyone at his party) and then I rediscovered you a couple weeks ago searching for a Cheeseburger Soup recipe (I had found your Oreo cake via Pinterest and hadn't looked around your site ath the time). I have since made your ranch dressing (FINALLY a Ranch dressing that I like at home, I've only ever liked restaurant's ranch dressings before so I'm so happy to have found your recipe), your baked ziti and your garlic butter bread, so DELICIOUS! :) Last night was your Loaded Baked Potato soup and it was phenomenal! It will definitely be made again but I'm thinking of adding celery, like you suggested, and either chopped or sliced carrots next time too. Have you tried that before? If so, did you add them at the beginning and cook all day or add later on in the day? Thank you so much for all your delicious recipes! :)ReplyDelete
Oh Julie you make my heart sing with that comment!! Yippee!! I am just so, so thrilled that you have had success with those recipes! Thank you for taking the time to let me know!ReplyDelete
About the celery, I add it right on in at the beginning so it will add some good flavor to the broth. I think carrots would probably work too. I haven't tried them but carrots, celery, onions and garlic all just seem to naturally go with each other! :)

Thanks for sharing! To quicken the process I used Yukon gold potatoes and kept the skins on! Added a little cornstarch and water to thicken! Great soup!ReplyDelete

I made this yesterday. Loved the ease of letting it cook in the crock while I picked up the kids from school. I didn't have any bacon and added dill to it to season it. It was really good! I love your site and visit often for easy ideas. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Oh Brandie! I am making this as soon as our temps drop!! Love this!ReplyDelete

I love the its so quick i'm going to try with hashbrowns. thank you.ReplyDelete
I made this for a church lunch today...it was fantastic! There was so much flavor and we are so glad there are leftovers!!!!!ReplyDelete
I did add some garlic and celery. My hubby was so happy with this soup. Thanks so much for a great recipe..
Try adding some bacon bits. They plump up and they seem to give that extra something!ReplyDelete

The potato soup was amazing! I added some diced ham that I had in the freezer and it was so good. Thank you for your site and for your recipes!!!ReplyDelete

We love this recipe but use heavy whipping cream in place of the half and halfReplyDelete
Really enjoyed your loaded potato soup. I added some canned corn at the end with the half and half. My husband wanted the corn. We topped with a little sour cream, crumbled bacon and cheese. It tasted just like a loaded baked potato. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for the easy crock pot recipe.ReplyDelete

How do you print it?ReplyDelete
I am in the process of making this right now, with my own little tweaks to account for food allergies, of course! I will be using Almond milk in place of the half and half, and nixing the pepper completely (an allergy to black pepper...who knew?)ReplyDelete
Just found this recipe recently and pinned it. :) I too am wondering if it could be done on High for 4 hours? I waited too long and want it for dinner tonight! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting!
Egads! It's six a.m. and I'm standing in my kitchen staring at my frozen hash browns and wondering if they have to be thawed before making the soup. Yipes! I'm going to find a way to screw this up, aren't I? LOL If anyone knows, I would surely appreciate an answer... :-)ReplyDelete

Can a person use whole milk instead of half and half? Trying to reduce my fat intake.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 27, 2014 at 10:39 AM
Could I use heavy cream instead of half and half? I have some cream in my fridge I need to use up :) thanks!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 19, 2014 at 11:57 AM
Could II use whole Lactaid milk in this instead of the cream due to dairy allergies?ReplyDelete
So glad I found your site.tomorrow's dinner will be potato soup and salad...Thanks again for posting.ReplyDelete
I made your soup last night and added ham, along with one glove of garlic. We enjoyed it very much...as my husband said "it's a keeper"!ReplyDelete
So sorry, I forgot to mention,that I did not use the crock pot....I cooked it on the stove top on a low simmer.When the potatoes were tender,the soup was done...saved me lots of time!ReplyDelete
So many good comments from those who have tried this. I'm Pinning it!!ReplyDelete

This may sound crazy but this is awesome with canned coconut milk instead of the cream or 1/2 & 1/2,ReplyDelete
started making my butternut squash soup with this and it is so lovely. Love your blog.
I will be cooking this today! Simple ingredients, simple recipe! LOVE!!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the recipe. Does the soup freeze well?ReplyDelete

Dell Computer
just received a completed 130
kW installation of Solar Trees at its headquarters in Round Rock,
Texas. The installation was designed by Envision Solar, BP
Solar, and Weitz Company. Contracting was handled by McBride
The resulting parking lot, dubbed the Dell Solar
Grove, both provides 50 shady parking spots and clean green energy.
The lot also features Envision Solar's CleanCharge solar charging
stations using the Coulomb ChargePoint technology. These
stations will help charge current and upcoming plug-in vehicles, such
as the Tesla Roadster or 2011 Chevy Volt. The plan to use solar
to charge EVs is also being championed by Japanese automaker Nissan,
who looks to use solar to charge up its 2011
Leaf EV.
Also making solar news is the near
completion of the Soto Next Generation Solar Energy Center in
Arcadia, Florida. Owned by Florida Power & Light Company,
this 25 MW installation features 90,000 photovoltaic panels and will
go online by the end of this month. When it does go online, it
will become one of the nation's single largest solar installations.
Together with centers in Martin County and at NASA's Kennedy Space
Center, Florida will be shortly getting 110 MW of new solar
generation capacity, boosting it to the second largest
solar-producing state in the nation.
The new Soto Center will
generate enough power for 3,000 homes. FPL Vice President and
Chief Development Officer Eric Silagy brags, "Large-scale solar
projects such as FPL's DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center
provide Florida with the opportunity to create and attract more
clean-energy jobs and produce millions of dollars in new revenue for
local governments while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
fighting the effects of climate change. Large-scale solar
projects such as FPL's DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center
provide Florida with the opportunity to create and attract more
clean-energy jobs and produce millions of dollars in new revenue for
local governments while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
fighting the effects of climate change."
The plant's
construction and maintenance have created 400 jobs. The project
will also generate an estimated $2M USD in annual tax revenues, which
will help fund schools and other local services, starting next year.
The center is estimated to cut nearly 575,000 tons of greenhouse gas
emissions -- the equivalent of taking 4,500 cars off the road.
It will also save 277,000 barrels of oil and 7 billion cubic feet of
natural gas.
While costs
are dropping, solar power costs per kWh remain higher than other
forms of alternative energy. Once that gap closes, expect solar
to see an even greater jump in interest. Until then projects
like these will surely continue across the nation, albeit at a slower

quote: Yeah, you're right, it probably wouldn't even scratch the paint.

Published October 3, 2013
Award-winning American novelist and translator Laird Hunt is coming to Buffalo on Oct. 10 as part of the UB Department of English's Exhibit X Fiction Series.
He will give a free reading at 7 p.m. at Hallwalls Cinema, 341 Delaware Ave., Buffalo.
Hunt's fiction transcends genres and includes work that can be considered experimental, exploratory, noir and speculative.
He was a 2013 nominee for the PEN/Faulkner Award, one of the nation's most prestigious fiction prizes, and recently received the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for his haunting 2012 novel "Kind One," a gothic novel sent in antebellum Kentucky that was described by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as a "haunting meditation on the crushing legacy of slavery." It was a finalist for multiple awards and has drawn strong emotional reactions from its readers.
Christina Milletti, associate professor of English and co-curator of this year's Exhibition X series, reflects that readers in the 2012-13 series—Tom McCarthy, Lydia Millet and Lawrence Norfolk—all won, or were nominated for, major literary awards shortly after their visits to Buffalo.
"Our goal is to bring rising talent in contemporary fiction to Buffalo from both the national and international landscape," she says. "We've been fortunate to have great success identifying novelists who aren't afraid to push buttons or boundaries as they tell provocative stories.
"Laird Hunt has been on our radar for a long time. His fiction unerringly mines the state of the human condition and our capacity for violence, solitude and love.
"Each Exhibition X reading has been unique," she says, "and Hunt's work is very different from that of next semester's guests, Victor LaValle, Martin Nakell, Rebecca Goodman and Amanda Micholopoulou. However, each of them, too, has an exquisite impact on an audience."
In addition to "Kind One," Hunt is the author of a book of short stories, "The Paris Stories" (2000), and four novels from Coffee House Press: "The Impossibly" (2001), "Indiana, Indiana" (2003), "The Exquisite" (2006) and "Ray of the Star" (2009).
His new book, the Civil War novel "Neverhome," will be published soon in the United States by Little, Brown.
Hunt translated "Vacant Lot," an experimental novel by German author Oliver Rohe, and with Anne Laure Tissut, "Brando, My Solitude," a "biographical hypothesis" by award-winning French author Arno Bertina.
Hunt's work is published in France by Actes Sud, and he has novels published or forthcoming in Japan, Italy, Spain, Germany and Turkey. His writings, reviews and translations have appeared in the United States and abroad.
Hunt currently is on faculty of the University of Denver's Creative Writing Program, where he edits the Denver Quarterly. He has had residencies at the MacDowell Colony and the Camargo Foundation in Cassis, France, and was a participant in the Lannan Foundation's summer 2013 residency program in the high-desert town of Marfa, Texas.

Trick-or-treaters can go on scavenger hunt to learn about wildlife, collect goodies
Trick-or-treaters can fill their bags with goodies and learn about wildlife Oct. 31, during Howloween at the Oregon Zoo. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is free with zoo admission.
In keeping with the zoo's mission, Howloween aims to be educational as well as fun. Scavenger hunts and activities are themed to teach kids about animals around the world, and their habitats and adaptations. Kids can collect treats and prizes at the different stations, provided in part by FedEx Ground and Safe Kids, KIND Snacks and Glee Gum. Because our everyday actions impact wildlife, the zoo only chooses candy without palm oil, or with deforestation-free palm oil.
Throughout the day, visitors can watch the zoo's enrichment team provide animals with holiday-themed treats like jack-o'-lanterns stuffed with snacks. Enrichment items, such as a passel of pumpkins provided by Al's Garden Center, help keep the zoo's animals mentally and physically engaged.
Guests can also say happy birthday to the zoo's Amur tiger, Mikhail, born on Halloween in 1998. Mikhail, looking appropriate for the season in his customary orange and black stripes, will receive holiday-themed enrichment items designed to encourage his natural behaviors. This is especially important, keepers say, to help keep the 320-pound cat active as he ages.
"Mik's definitely getting up there in years," said animal curator Amy Cutting, who oversees the zoo's tiger area. "The median life expectancy for male Amur tigers is 16, and Mik's a year past that now, so he's considered elderly. But thankfully he's still healthy, and our keepers work hard to make sure he stays active and engaged."
Cutting notes that while Mikhail is doing well, his wild counterparts are imperiled by habitat loss and poaching: Fewer than 500 are believed to remain in their home range. The Amur tiger species derives its name from the Amur River, which runs through the region of southeast Russia to which this subspecies is native.

Carl P. Paladino didn't yell at anyone, and nobody yelled at Paladino. A few fumed, but it never got unbearable. And despite the best efforts of the School Board president to keep Paladino contained by unilaterally sending many of his resolutions to committee, each and every one came to the floor.
Some were approved at Wednesday night's board meeting, some failed, and many were sent to committee.
Paladino lost his bid to have Superintendent Pamela C. Brown's evaluation rescinded, and he failed – despite showing everyone a cute photo of his dog – to gain board approval to bring his companion Duke to future meetings.
New board member Paladino came largely prepared to speak and was given as polite and professional a response as he could reasonably expect. His ability to get even one of his resolutions approved suggests he may be able to cobble together support and make progress with some of his agenda items this year.
He started off with a win early on – gaining 5-4 approval to require that the superintendent email all board members soon after receiving any nonconfidential correspondence from the state education commissioner.
His resolution was timely, since Commissioner John B. King Jr. just sent a three-page letter to the superintendent Wednesday denying school-turnaround grant money to East and Lafayette high schools because of their chronically poor performance.
"Both schools are at risk of having their registration revoked," King stated in his letter, which board members were all supposedly emailed but not all of them had received Wednesday night.
While some board members complained that Paladino's resolution was "micromanaging" the superintendent, new board members Theresa Harris-Tigg, James M. Sampson and Paladino voted in favor, as did board members John B. Licata and Jason M. McCarthy.
All of Paladino's issues regarding rescinding and reconsidering the superintendent's recently approved evaluation failed.
So did his demand to get an outside legal opinion to determine whether there any impropriety attached to the superintendent's side agreement with the teachers union regarding teacher evaluations.
But the bulk of his issues – ranging from student placement protocols to extending the school day – got discussed.
And most were sent either to committee for further discussion and fact-finding or were referred directly to the superintendent to provide answers.
That doesn't mean everyone was happy about it.
Board member Florence D. Johnson said she didn't appreciate being "held hostage" by Paladino's agenda for hours on end.
And board member Sharon Belton-Cottman stated that Paladino would have more credibility with the rest of the board if he would actually contact and meet with school administrators and get answers to his questions instead of coming to the board and raising issues there.
Licata, a lawyer, repeatedly stepped in to assist board President Barbara Seals Nevergold in keeping the meeting from moving too far off the rails when Paladino got rolling off topic, but the meeting was still interminable.
The meeting started at 5:30 p.m. and ended its "open session" at about 10:10, only to go into executive session to discuss Paladino's resolution regarding the resignation of the superintendent, which, of course, didn't happen.
The recorded meeting chewed through two long-running tapes, and the crusty Paladino, a commercial developer, was treated like a celebrity by the media during a brief board recess.
"This board meeting has more sequences than 'Rocky,' " quipped district spokeswoman Elena Cala.
Paladino, representing the Park District, asked that the board continue to meet during the summer instead of waiting until late August to reconvene both regular meetings and committee meetings, which typically go on hiatus in the summer.
That request was not seconded by anyone, but Nevergold agreed to hold a special board meeting in the coming weeks to discuss the latest letter from the state education commissioner.

For anyone who values both the First Amendment and the nation's right to defend itself, the publication of a former Navy SEAL's book on the raid the killed Osama bin Laden presents a conundrum: Where do you strike the balance between fundamental rights and compelling duty?
There are at least two answers, one clear, the other as dark as a mountain cave. Here's the easy one: Former Navy SEAL Matt Bissonnette shouldn't have written the book. Owning a right doesn't mean you always have to exercise it. Couples understand this concept well. Just because something is true doesn't mean that saying it will be wise or useful.
A right to do something presupposes a choice: You have the right to do it or not to, as you see fit. Another example, closer to home for those of us who work for newspapers: The First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of the press offers newspapers tremendous freedom on what they choose to print, but not everything gets in. Editors constantly weigh concerns about appropriateness, reliability, accuracy, fairness, libel and other matters before printing sensitive information.
So here's the question about Bissonnette: How much consideration, if any, did he give to the matter of appropriateness before spilling the beans about a subject that is simultaneously riveting and sensitive? Did he evaluate the risks to national security and to his former colleagues, still carrying out dangerous missions? Did he ask for anyone's advice before submitting the work for publication? Or was this just a payday?
The Pentagon - not always trustworthy on this kind of matter - says the book, "No Easy Day," contains secrets that may provide enemies with dangerous insights into classified U.S. operations.
That was the case the military made when the New York Times began publishing the Pentagon Papers, which showed that the government was misleading the public about the Vietnam War. The Times published, despite government threats, and it was good that it did: Claims that the paper was betraying secrets were true only insofar as voters knew things the government preferred it didn't.
Bissonnette's book, while about a compelling subject, does not appear to provide details that radically undermine the public's understanding of events. Details are different from those provided by the Obama administration, but the question is whether a member of the armed forces - of the actual team that rid the world of bin Laden - should be so cavalier about his duties to his comrades, to the SEALs, the Navy, the Pentagon and the country.
Bissonnette may be within his constitutional rights to have written this book, though there are questions about the legal obligations he undertook as a member of the SEALs. But we have little doubt that he exercised questionable - and maybe even poor - judgment in choosing to exercise that right in the way he did.
Discretion, they say, is the better part of valor. Bissonnette's valor is beyond question. His discretion leaves something to be desired in a military man entrusted with the most sensitive mission of his generation.

JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. – The Stetson Hatters had a chance to make a move up the leaderboard on Wednesday in the final day of play at the 2014 Atlantic Sun Conference Women's Golf Championship, but struggled to close out the second round and fell from contention.
After rain halted play in the second round on Tuesday with several holes to play, the Hatters came out and were 14 over par over the last six holes of that round, finishing with a 25 over par score of 313. That trend continued as Stetson posted a final round score of 312 to finish seventh in the 10-team field, 36 shots behind tournament champion ETSU.
It is the second straight tournament title for the Buccaneers, who will represent the A-Sun in the NCAA Tournament. ETSU finished with a 297 on Wednesday after closing out a 299 in the second round. It was during that second round, after the weather delay, that ETSU put a move on top seed Mercer, taking a seven shot lead over the Bears into the final round of play.
Mercer slipped all the way to third with Kennesaw State finishing second, seven shots behind ETSU.
ETSU's Vivienne Chin captured medalist honors in the event. A sophomore from Malaysia, Chin was consistent throughout the tournament, closing with a one-over par 73 in the final round for a total score of 219, two shots better than Jessica Welch of Jacksonville.
Stetson senior Jenna Hoecker led the Hatters, finishing 11th in her final A-Sun Championship. Hoecker closed the event with a 78 in the final round and finished with an 11-over par score of 227.
Mallory Viera also finished strong in her final A-Sun appearance. After tying for fourth place in 2013, Viera tied for 14th this year with a 13-over par score of 229. She finished on Wednesday with a 75, which was the best round of the day for the Hatters.
Senior Ryan Ashburn struggled on the final day, posting a score of 81 to finish in a tie for 27th with a total score of 234.
Freshman Alessandra Kutz had a score of 78 on Wednesday to finish tied for 35th overall at 242 and senior Claudia Redinger closed with an 84 to finish 49th with a score of 257.

Just four days after slipping on a puddle and getting stitches, the buff That Awkward Moment star, 26, was spotted working out in Venice, Calif., on Thursday evening.
"He looked great," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "But it was all business. He was concentrating on hitting the weights hard."
Wearing long sleeves and nylon pants, the former High School Musical heartthrob sported what looked like a fresh haircut slicked over to the side as he used a rowing machine to perfect his deltoids.
"He seemed really pensive and was looking around to see who was looking at him," the onlooker says of the actor, who completed a stint in rehab earlier this year.
While Efron showed no signs of his recent injury, the onlooker noted that he was not seen moving his mouth, which was wired shut after the accident.
The buff star has been recovering with a little help from his friends, including Hairspray director Adam Shankman, who has been bringing Efron soup.
"He has to eat through a straw on a syringe. It's horrible," Shankman told PEOPLE at the GO GO Gala in Los Angeles on Thursday. "He's in great spirits. He's just like, 'Wow. It hurts.' His jaw is wired shut."
Shankman has also given Efron some good-natured tough love. "He's like my little brother, has been since Hairspray," Shankman said. "'So I talk to him like a little brother, which means I give him a lot of s––."
"He has always been a klutz," the director added. "And this is like a perfect Zac move."

BOSTON – A stone-faced coach Lindy Ruff denied after the morning skate the Sabres signed 6-foot-8 John Scott last July to beef up their team largely for when they played the Boston Bruins.
No one listening believed Ruff. Scott, meanwhile, was swarmed by Boston reporters and strongly proclaimed, "I'm not afraid of anybody."
Then he went out and showed it by crushing Boston tough guy Shawn Thornton in the first period and setting a positive tone in the Sabres' 7-4 win.
During the pregame warmup, Scott menacingly skated back and forth by the center red line. He even stopped to have a brief chat with Thornton near the boards. They were clearly planning their rendezvous and it took place 2:53 into the period.
Just off a faceoff outside the Buffalo blue line, Scott and Thornton dropped their sticks and gloves and gave everyone in TD Garden what they expected to see, given the buildup to this one. What surprised the crowd, however, was the carnage involved.
Scott dropped Thornton with a series of punishing rights and Thornton went to the locker room after leaving the penalty box, never to return. There was no immediate word on his injury.
"We both wanted to get our teams going," said Scott, adding that Thornton "told me in the box I got him pretty good when I knocked him out. It was a good fight and he stood in there. ... I was asking our trainers how he's doing. You never want to hurt somebody; I was kind of concerned after the first period we never saw him again."
"It's a square off of two tough guys in the building," Ruff said. "I didn't really anticipate what was going to happen. John has provided us some team toughness and it's spilled off into other guys. I thought he did a nice job for us."
The Sabres called timeout with 13.6 seconds left when the Bruins put AHL call-up Lane MacDermid (73 penalty minutes in 32 games) on the ice against some of Buffalo's skill players. Ruff put Scott back on the ice and the move didn't go over well in some parts of the Boston locker room.
"He wants to be a big shot," Bruins forward Brad Marchand said of Ruff. "Not the best play to do. Pretty disrespectful. If he wants to be like that, that's fine."
"I didn't want anything to happen," Ruff said. "That's what it was all about."
Boston coach Claude Julien wasn't overly bothered by the move.
"I don't know why he took it, I really don't know," Julien said. "But he's entitled to it, so I just played along with it. He might've thought that something was going to happen, which wasn't."
The defense pair of Tyler Myers and Jordan Leopold continued to struggle, getting burned for three of Boston's four goals although still finishing the game at minus-1.
"They had a couple tough ones," Ruff admitted. "They battled through it, had a good third period. Those were tough but I liked the way the team rallied around them."
The Sabres were on the ice Thursday morning for nearly 45 minutes, certainly longer than usual for a game-day skate. But they had a CBA-mandated day off Wednesday and will only have time for a light practice this morning at the Bell Centre in Montreal before playing games against the Habs Saturday and the Florida Panthers Sunday in First Niagara Center.
"You have to do things different now," said Ruff. "From not practicing [Wednesday] to having a longer practice here, almost an in-between-games type practice. You have to do that."
The Sabres scratched T.J. Brennan (healthy), Robyn Regehr (foot) and Patrick Kaleta (neck). Ruff said prior to the game Kaleta will be out "a while" after taking a hit from behind Tuesday from Toronto's Mike Brown. Alexander Sulzer returned to the lineup.
The Sabres announced that MSG will air "Beyond Blue & Gold," the team's behind-the-scenes video series that debuted on Sabres.com. The first airing is Saturday at 1 prior to the pregame show from Montreal and the 30-minute program will re-air at 5 p.m.
The first four Web epsiodes, which stretch from early June to late November, were melded together for the television version. Events included are the combine held for draft prospects at First Niagara Center last June.

December 15, 2010
This is the last issue of the Advocacy Update for 2010. The next issue will be published on January 15, 2011.
On behalf of the IMF, we would like to thank you for all of your support throughout 2010. The good work and efforts of the myeloma community are essential to IMF's successful legislative efforts. We truly appreciate all that you do on behalf of myeloma patients.
Have a happy holiday season!
Wrap Up of IMF Advocacy Priorities
Below is a summary of some of the legislative issues that IMF has followed in the second session of the 111th Congress. As you can see, we were successful on many important issues such as ensuring access to clinical trials and declaring September Blood Cancer Awareness Month. Over 3,000 messages were sent to Congress this year from myeloma advocates. Your commitment to the mission helped to ensure our success on many legislative issues in 2010.
September Designated as Blood Cancer Awareness Month
Representatives Walther Jones (R-NC) and Betsy Markey (D-CO) sponsored a resolution (H. Res. 1433) designating September 2010 as Blood Cancer Awareness Month. H. Res. 1433 highlighted the impact that the blood cancers have in the United States each year and encouraged greater support for blood cancer research and education. Because of the efforts of IMF advocates, we met our goal of obtaining at least 100 cosponsors to ensure that the resolution moved through the legislative process and ultimately passed the House.
President Signs Improving Access to Clinical Trials Act
On October 5th, the President signed the Improving Access to Clinical Trials Act (HR 2866/S 1674) into law. This important legislation changes the eligibility requirements for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid so that compensation of up to $2,000 for participating in clinical trials won't be considered income in SSI and Medicaid determinations.
Health Insurance Reform Signed Into Law
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act transforms significant portions of the health care environment. Below are the provisions that will improve the quality of life for all myeloma patients.
The IMF Honored in the Congressional Record
Representative Brian Higgins (D-NY) honored the work of the IMF and raised awareness of multiple myeloma through his statement in the May 25th edition of the Congressional Record. Representative Higgins stated what myeloma is, who is affected, and its prevalence in the statement. He recognized the IMF for its dedication to improving the quality of life for patients and caregivers while working towards prevention and cure for myeloma. He also noted his bill, the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act (HR 2366), which eliminates disparities for cancer patients whose insurance coverage has differences in the way oral and intravenous chemotherapy therapies are covered. The IMF has been proactively involved in helping to fight for this legislation.
Final FY 2011 Cancer Funding Yet To Be Finalized
With the 111th Congress winding down, the FY 2011 long stalled appropriations process could come to an end before the lame duck session is over. The House of Representatives passed a year-long continuing resolution (CR) which would maintain funding for federal programs at their current levels, including all cancer research, prevention, education treatment and survivorship programs. This would result in no increases for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other agencies that fund cancer programs.
Meanwhile, the Senate is trying to find enough support in that chamber to pass an Omnibus Appropriations bill. The Senate Omnibus Appropriations bill includes a $750 million increase for NIH. The National Cancer Institute would receive $5.222 billion, an increase of $119 million and $50 million would be available to implement the Cures Acceleration Network.
If the Senate can find consensus on an Omnibus, they will attach it to the House CR and send this bill back to the House. Should either effort fail in House or Senate, then the possibility of a short-term CR that lasts into the New Year becomes a reality. This means that many federal programs including the cancer programs will see significant funding cuts if final FY 2011 funding decisions are punted to next Congress.
For more information about the legislation listed above or any other IMF advocacy initiative, contact IMF's Director of Government Relations, Christine Murphy at firstname.lastname@example.com or 703-738-1498.

LIFTLAB cosmeceutical skin care products are built around one of nature's most powerful antiaging components: Cell Protection Proteins® (CPP?). CPP was first discovered for its role in the health and survival of both plants and marine life found in the sub-zero conditions of the Arctic Circle. This unique protein is essential to life in the extreme cold, dryness, and unrelenting UVA/UVB ray exposure of this harsh environment.
In its purified and patented state, CPP is central to LIFTLAB's unique collection of antiaging skin care. When used at the appropriate concentrations, CPP encourages skin to produce over 40 regenerative proteins of its own, helping to promote the formation of collagen, elastin, fibrinogen, and antioxidants, while offering heat-shock protection and cell regeneration.

on September 2, 2012 - 6:00 AM
They surely knew that King, who founded the Montreal Infringement Festival in 2004 and later helped export that event to Buffalo, is perhaps the world's most outspoken critic of the hundreds of festivals around the world that are based on Edinburgh's Fringe. They likely knew that he has committed a big part of his life to fighting against the modern Fringe fest model, which he and his collaborators view as too heavily influenced by corporations, too expensive for artists and antithetical to the values of its own founders.
But they probably didn't expect him to set up shop at his table wearing a sinister "V for Vendetta" mask, to proselytize so openly for the open-access Infringement Festival model that's become so popular in Buffalo or to speak up so loudly and consistently against the very festival that had invited him to the conference.
Nor, I am positive, did they expect King to distribute dozens of copies of the Buffalo Infringement schedule and a Gusto cover story on the Buffalo Infringement Festival in which he figured prominently, nor to induce gasps from the assembled crowd by sarcastically suggesting the Edinburgh Fringe name itself after a multibillion dollar corporation.
King is the dictionary definition of a rabble-rouser. His consistently amusing dispatches from the World Fringe Congress, compiled on his website at www.optative.net, comprise a powerful chronicle of one man's perhaps quixotic attempt to fight the power and to insert his own radical viewpoint into the conversation. (In addition to which, it is frequently hilarious: "When I met the Lord Provost, the Right Honourable Donald Wilson," King wrote of his introduction to the mayor of Edinburgh, "I shook his hand, introduced myself, and told him about the infringement festival, joking that maybe it would appear in Edinburgh one day. He chuckled and directed me to the free glasses of wine.")
But the thing is that King's ideas really aren't radical, or at least shouldn't be. They go to the heart of why we have freedom of expression in the first place and speak directly to the true power of art. His argument - that more corporate sponsorship and more cultural gate-keeping robs Fringe artists of their agency to bring about social and political change - ought to be a no-brainer.
That it is not, has worked to the advantage of Buffalonians, who get to have the totally open-source Infringement Festival (which welcomed more than 800 individual performances this summer) with none of the pesky problems associated with a traditional "Fringe" festival. King's trip to Edinburgh to plant the seeds of dissent in the place where the Fringe was born is an unexpected development that has already resulted in the minting of a new Infringement Festival in Ipswich.
King left Edinburgh with some key questions:
"Did I get my message across about the need to safeguard the Fringe-proper, or is the once-ethereal Fringe doomed to be endlessly co-opted by corporate interests and overzealous administrators? Is it destined to be locked into structures that favour corporations and bureaucrats over artists, especially those who struggle just to make ends meet?"
In Edinburgh, the questions remain. But in Buffalo, where Infringement has grown into the region's most active and diverse annual festival, the answer is already clear.

The 5 Saddest Prostitutes in the World
#2. The World's Oldest Prostitutes
Jupiterimages/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
I feel like if I expound in any way on the title of this entry, it's just going to make all of us feel bad in the soul. Is there any way the story of a prostitute who's encroaching on the century mark can not be terrible? Just horribly, horribly terrible? No. But I can make it worse by making this entry about three of them, all over 70 years old. Just to clarify, sex should never occur after 70 years old. That's not my opinion, that's like some kind of natural law. I'm sure I'll die in a blimp accident well before I'm 40, but if I did live to my 70s, I would expect to be entirely sex-free. For the terrors of sex past 70, I invite you to look at Hugh Hefner. Eew.
Let's start with the young 'un, 71-year-old Sygun Liebhart, who is not an Icelandic post-rock band but a kindly old tart from Connecticut who was peddling her backside on Backpage.com, which proves that some old people can and do understand the Internet.
Across the pond in England, it made headlines in 2011 when the grandmother of one of the judges on The X-Factor was revealed to be a prostitute at 81 years old. She apparently even charged 250 pounds, which is about $375 U.S. Part of me hopes that most of that money was for the cost of delicious cookies she baked, but I know it wasn't. Not really. It was just for her old, tired cookie that no one should want to eat.
Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
No, don't eat it, kid! Aww, that's gross. You're gross.
Taiwan beat that with the story of a lady who was 82 and caught on the street soliciting customers for about 300 Taiwanese dollars. Please have a sip of a beverage before reading how that converts to U.S. money. You good? It's about $10. I will take my $10 and go to Subway and get a soup and sandwich combo and a Dr. Pepper. That is what I will do with $10.
Finally, just for a little balance, let's go to Iowa. Ben Clifford Dawson, an 83-year-old in the running for local city council, was arrested on prostitution charges after trying to barter with a woman who owed him money by suggesting that he'd shave off some of the debt if she let him perform sex acts on her, which I assume means he wanted to give her the 23 Skidoo or the Eisenhower GumJob.
#1. Pony the Orangutan
Ryan McVay/Digital Vision/Getty Images
Say, do you have faith in humanity? Why don't you go ahead and put that in a tissue and wrap it up, give it a swirl in some Vaseline, and hand it to a hobo so he can jam it right up his ass, because you don't need it anymore. This story is whatever the polar opposite of funny is, with a detour through utter depravity and what the fuckery, but if you're going to cover the most heinous prostitutes on Earth, you really can't skip it. This is the story about an orangutan named Pony that was used as a sex slave in a village in Borneo. So that's pretty awful.
The orangutan was held captive at a brothel. She was chained to a wall and shaved every other day, so her skin was generally covered in pimples and mosquito bites. At this point you should be frowning mercilessly at the screen and cursing me for even telling you about this, but before you bust out your extra-special swears, let's just wrap up the horror with the final, awful details. Not only would Pony assume the position automatically when a man entered the room, but it took a rescue group over a year to free her, because the brothel owner and the locals wanted to keep her there so badly that they fought against her release. Police armed with automatic weapons had to be brought in to free her.
Jupiterimages/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images
This should be your face about now.
If you find yourself questioning your value in life, or feeling guilt over having let yourself down in achieving your goals, helping your loved ones, or performing well at whatever task you set your mind to, remember that, for all your failings, you never shaved and imprisoned an orangutan for the purposes of prostitution. Whatever else happens, if you're down and depressed and questioning your self-worth, you have never pimped an ape. Nor have you fought to keep that ape available for intermittent sexings. You are never as bad as you may feel you are, because you never sank this low.
Because I hate to leave you on a downer, it's worth noting that after she was rescued, Pony grew back a fine coat of ginger bed-head-looking fur and was released into a forest, where she started a whirlwind romance with Christina Ricci and killed several dudes.

Hawaii hotel industry executive and Lanai native Kurt Matsumoto has been tapped to oversee all of Larry Ellison's business operations on the island of Lanai.
Matsumoto, 55, has been named chief operating officer of Lanai Resorts LLC, effective Dec. 1.
Despite the entity's name, Matsumoto said his responsibilities will include "basically all of the property that was purchased by Larry Ellison. I will be responsible to run all of the operations for Mr. Ellison's investments on Lanai."
Article Photos
In June, Ellison bought from Castle & Cooke Inc. more than 88,000 acres on Lanai, or about 97 percent of the island, home to about 3,000 residents.
The sale included Lanai's two luxury resorts managed by the Four Seasons, two championship golf courses, residential and commercial buildings, and other assets.
Matsumoto said Four Seasons will continue to manage the hotels, adding that he will be "intently involved" in planned renovations of the resorts, which he described as "a big upgrade of the facilities."
He said the total value of the renovation work, which has already started, has not yet been determined.
Matsumoto said he has not met his new boss, Ellison - the co-founder and chief executive officer of California-based Oracle Corp., who Forbes says is worth an estimated $36 billion, making him the third-richest American.
"My interactions through the interview process has been with his key representatives and advisers," Matsumoto said. "But I gather that he has very good intentions. His intentions are really, I think, in alignment with what the island needs and with what the community wants. And I feel good about aligning myself with that."
Matsumoto will be leaving his post as general manager of The Club at Kukuiula on Kauai. He previously oversaw the Manele Bay Hotel and The Lodge at Koele as vice president of resorts and administration for Lanai Co. Inc. under Castle & Cooke from 1991 to 2000. He also was general manager of The Mauna Lani Bay Hotel & Bungalows on the Big Island's Kohala Coast.
Paul Marinelli, vice president of Lanai Resorts' parent company, Lanai Island Holdings, said Matsumoto was uniquely qualified for the position.
"We took the time and proceeded very thoughtfully to find someone with the professional qualifications and background to be Lanai Resorts' top executive in Hawaii," Marinelli said in a statement. "Kurt embodies the Lanai Resorts cultural standard - professional excellence, community awareness, deep appreciation of the island's past, and a strong commitment to an amazing future."
Since Ellison's purchase of most of Lanai, the company said the island has already seen economic growth, with more than 100 new jobs created.

Varsity Male Athlete of the Week: Calvin Kinnard, General McLane football
Calvin Kinnard, General McLane
General McLane's Calvin Kinnard made the most of his handful of handoffs from quarterback Quinn Thompson during Friday's District 10 Class AAA quarterfinal game.
Kinnard only carried the ball four times against Oil City. However, three of them resulted in touchdowns.
Lengthy ones too.
The senior scored from 12, 43 and 55 yards against the Oilers. In all, he accounted for 124 of the Lancers' 464 rushing yards in their high-scoring 56-35 victory at Edinboro University's Sox Harrison Stadium.
"It was definitely new for me," said Kinnard, whose output exceeded his total rushing yards for the regular season. "It was pretty exciting. We have a nice rotation for the backs, and usually one of us steps up.
"I guess it was my turn."
Kinnard scored his first two touchdowns against the Oilers in the first quarter. His third, the 55-yarder, capped the first-half scoring and left McLane with a 28-14 lead at the break.
Kinnard helped the Lancers improve to 8-2 in their return to the district's AAA playoffs after competing in Class AA for four years. He's expected to be in uniform Friday, when McLane takes on Region 5 top seed Slippery Rock in the semifinals.
The Lancers and Rockets will kick off at 7 p.m. at Slippery Rock University's Mihalik-Thompson Stadium.

"I have a 1-year-old infant – swallowed something and he's starting to choke on it," the caller told 911 dispatcher trainee Adam Brooks on May 27, according to Sacramento CBS station KOVR.
As Brooks wrote down the address, 911 dispatcher Britney Melchor, who was training him, noticed it sounded familiar.
"He verified the address and I heard that it was mine," Melchor, 23, of Marysville, California, tells PEOPLE.
Somehow, she kept her cool and quickly dispatched the fire department and ambulance to her home.
"My first reaction was getting help to him right away," Melchor told the TV station. "Just like any other 911 phone call I've ever had, my first instinct is to do my job and help save that life."
It turns out Melchor and fiancé Robert Kimball's 14-month-old son, Maverick, had swallowed a metal washer that fell off a piece of furniture.
"He went completely limp, wasn't breathing," Kimball, 25, told the TV station.
"At that point I made the decision to take my middle finger and shove the object past his airway," says Robert, who says he has past medical training that helped him clear Maverick's airway so he could breathe.
Rescue crews arrived around the same time and took him to Rideout Memorial Hospital, where they gave the family a copy of the X-ray showing the washer lodged in Maverick's stomach.
Earlier this month, Melchor was surprised when the Marysville Police Department unanimously awarded her the Meritorious Conduct Award and pin.
"It was definitely unexpected," Melchor tells PEOPLE.
But Aaron Easton, the deputy chief of the Marysville Police Department, tells PEOPLE she deserved it.
"[She got the award] for her calm and composure and professionalism."
As for Maverick, he's doing just fine – and passed the washer two weeks later.

About a decade and a half ago, Willard boasted an NFL-bound quarterback in Charlie Frye. The quarterback threw for more than 6,200 yards in his prep career before having a standout career at the University of Akron and eventually playing a few seasons in the NFL.
Things are a little different now with Willard's offense.
Willard comes into tonight's game at Columbian with a 3-4 record. Tornadoes' coach Brian Colatruglio, whose team is undefeated and ranked third in Division II, said the Flashes want to control the ball.
"They've completely switched schemes; they're a run-first team," Colatruglio said. "I think they have the least amount of pass attempts in our league."
Colatruglio said the Flashes will run an option game. The good news for the Tornadoes is that this won't be the first time they will go up against that type of offense.
"Very similar to Marion Harding," he said. "(Willard is) gonna run a lot of option, the triple option with quarterback trying to read things. They want to try and possess the ball. That's their approach. It's nice that we've already seen it before, so, yeah, I think our kids remember how we played against Marion and how we did things. Hopefully we're at a little bit of an advantage having seen that once this year."
Colatruglio said the Flashes' best weapon on offense may be fullback Wes Potts, who ran for 80 yards and a touchdown in last week's 42-6 loss to Bellevue.
"Their fullback, Potts, he's pretty solid; he runs hard," Colatruglio said. "He's gonna get a bunch of carries. He's somebody that we have to make sure we tackle in the option game."
Colatruglio said that on defense, the Flashes focus on not allowing "the home run."
"Defensively, they're gonna play a little bit of a soft zone; keep things in front of them," he said. "They're a little bit lacking in speed, where they want to make you drive the field and not give up big plays, which is smart; it's what they need to do with their personnel."
Colatruglio said he's impressed with the Flashes' inside linebacker play, especially Sam Petrie.
As for the Tornadoes, they are coming off a game in which Jack Jacoby ran for more than 100 yards and their defense notched a shutout.
"We just gotta show up and play," Colatruglio said. "Play with intensity and focus."
Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

Malaysia Boleh? Can 1Malaysia Teach Malaysians to Compete?
Ironically, some Ali Babas who were privileged enough to be given a bundle of free APs started to get entrepreneurial and used these APs to import other foreign make and try to localize them. Soon, the local car maker's existence and market share was threatened by these 'localized' foreign imports.
Once upon a time, we started to produce our own mobile phones and the manufacturer had wanted the government to impose a similar import restriction against foreign competitors. It was proposed that APs should be required to import foreign made mobile phones. Luckily, the proposal did not get very far.
The 1sekolah proponents are adopting the same mentality. In order to promote the national schools, they have called for the abolishment of the more popular Tamil and Chinese vernacular primary schools. They have accused these schools as a cause and cancer to the society's social harmony.
When the main stream media was troubled by the flourishing alternative media players, the same kind of modus operandi was applied. Close them down, take action against bloggers and the use of other harsh treatments.
When politicians have lost their mandate to rule, they too resort to the same old tested formula of trying to eliminate their opponents through the same means - use force and access to coercive legal instruments to achieve their end goal.
Yes, we rather destroy and point our fingers blaming others than trying to learn how to compete with our competitors.
Why can't our local car makers learn how to become world's beaters if Korean car makers which had faced serious negative quality perception can overcome all odds to occupy two out of ten spots as the biggest car producers in the world?
Why can't our mobile phone maker make a similar technological leap and become a successful regional player when phone companies in China can achieve record breaking results in less than 5 years? Do we realise that a number of Motorola patents and new models were created by Malaysian engineers based in Penang?
It was a fact that the enrolment of English medium schools outstripped both the Tamil and Chinese vernacular schools before these schools were nationalized in 1971? Up till today, most non-Malay parents still prefer to send their children to English speaking nations to pursue their tertiary education.
Hence, what was the main reason most non-Malay parents found the national schools as undesirable? They were not confident that these schools were able to meet the learning aspiration of their children. Simple. Nothing racial.
Similarly, why can't the main stream media learn how to compete with the alternative media which are not as well funded? If the nexus between political parties and the main stream media can be severed, there should not be a problem for it to compete for readership by producing fair and accurate reporting.
Why can't politicians compete for support through their ability to govern fairly, transparently and professionally? Why can't politicians respect the rule of law and the rule of a true democracy where people's mandate hold supreme?
Malaysians need to change our mindset and learn how to compete and compete fairly. I have given some examples here but I am sure you can find out more examples to identify the kind of mindset I was trying to point out.
Can 1Malaysia change this mindset?

Trying to change Malaysia for the better is like peeing against the wind.
"Can 1Malaysia change this mindset? "
Like hell, it can!
It's clearly all about "More of the same" BS by the present moribund regime.

Let me add about our national car.
Last year in July my wife bought the Saga 1.3 and even before it's 10k service, it's 2 electric windows at the front already can't work properly. Can go down but can't go up without being tugged at!
A few months after July, my mum changed her car to another Saga 1.3 (before my wife's car problems surfaced)
I had an even worse time with this one. Not even up for the 1st 1k service, the car engine died each time you stepped on the brakes to slow down.
Took it to the workshop and was 'fixed' 3 times but after each fix, it happened again. Eventually it got fixed after about a month.
Now as the car is about to near its 5k service, the front left door is out of alignment and can't close properly without slamming.
Worse is the back left door which when closed fully (after slamming) still protrudes about 1 cm from the rest of the body!
Unfortunately as KKP said, our myopic government chose to shy away from nurturing Proton into a competitive entity but instead left it rot to what it is today with protectionist measures for "Bangsa dan Agama!".
An UMNO/BN version of 1Malaysia and with all it's myopic agenda to 'protect' it's race/religion based agenda cannot work in this day and age!
Ultimately, even the Malays will suffer, if not already now as can be seen by non-UMNO Malays. And this can't continue any further for the non-Malays have been carrying this country for far too long (despite the institutional handicaps) and there will come a time when even the non-Malays can't do miracles.
The worst part is there are now many decent Malays who are capable and willing to come forth and help the Malaysian race and country but are labeled as traitors by the UMNO/BN bastards!
KKP is too gentle and politically correct to say this but until and unless we put these UMNO/BN bastards out of office, so much for 1Malaysia and "Malaysia boleh"!
For those interested on the question of Malaysian meritocracy, please read Dr Hsu Dar Ren's take on our education system. Please pay particular attention to his reader's comments.
How to compete when they teach history instead of geography in secondary school now? They teach history just to make some small farts in the past look big. Today school kids can't even draw out or point out the map of any major economic countries in the world.
it's all about race and face.

Hi Khoo,
Kudos to you on this article, Everybody knew it but the oppotunist ( you know who) pretend not to know it.
To get things right it's has to get worse before the good come. what to do this is because of selfish, greed, no moral, (you name it), politicians.
If BN gone, I give 70% that Malaysia will change.

We can achieve 1Malaysia if we change the mindset of 2nd and 3rd liner of civil servants which consist of Ketua Pengarah and Pengarah. Datuk Najib visions is good. But we need a real policy that can governance the whole vision to success. Plan, Action and Deliverable !

My friend's daughter just enrolled into one of the government Matrikulasi college in Kuantan few weeks ago. Guess what?
One of the teacher walked into the classroom and started to shout she wounldn't want to see any student without wearing baju kurung in her next class!
She's the only one non-Malay student in the class of more than 150 student!
Is this what we call unity?
I don't see any point of "Total restructure" of present education system by implementation of "1Sekolah".
I believe only minor changes in current educational system.
Let's take a look on present education system:
1) Vernacular school e.g. Tamil and Chinese school (Jenis Kebangsaan )
a. At primary level – student learn Chinese English and BM with Science, Math and Moral teach in bilingual of English and Chinese.
b. At Secondary level- student learn Chinese English and BM with Science, Math, History, Geography and Moral teach in bilingual of English and BM
2) In National School ( Kebangsaan)
a. At primary or secondary - student learn English and BM with Science, Math, History, Geography and Moral teach in bilingual of English and BM.
3) In University level – all diploma /degree are conducted in English (majority esp. professional fields) with only minimal usage of BM.
Based on current education system, I believe only minor change will achieved aims of "1 Sekolah" without the need to closed down all vernacular school. My suggestion as below:
a) At Primary level in Vernacular school, student still learn Chinese English and BM and
Science, Math and Moral teach in English only. To compensate for less time to learn Chinese/Tamil, I would suggest increase teaching time (e.g. double the time) of Tamil/Chinese.
b) At Primary level in National school, student still learn English and BM and
Science, Math and Moral teach in English only. To encourage Chinese/Indian parents their children to national school, Chinese and Tamil should be provided as optional subject and should be teach as same level as in Vernacular school. Malay students are encouraged to take up either Chinese or Tamil as optional subject.
c) At Secondary School (both National and Vernacular school), student learn English, BM, Chinese and Tamil (as optional subject in National school) with Science, Math, History, Geography and Moral teach in only in English.
d) Abolish Matriculation and Form Six. Establish Pre-University course with local or foreign university thorough out Malaysia. Only once criteria of intake – SPM result.
Pre-University course and examination should be similar for every center with controlled by a group of dedicate educationists.
e) Open up Mara/UiTM etc to all Malaysia. Be a true "PUBLIC" university will aims to produce quality workforce for nation building regardless of race.
f) All government scholarship should be based on merit either SPM or Pre-U results
Like Chinese famous quote "want to run even before able to walk". Please start with above minor change before suggesting a total/major restructuring of our education system. Please don't jeapidise our children education.
Above suggestions only required all race to do small sacrifice. Every child in Malaysia will be provided with same type of education and same opportunities to proceed to higher learning center depend on merit.

The answer to all these problems is mastery of the English language both spoken and written. Without mastering it, the future will be bleak. It holds the key to success and prosperity. And not having the skill to use it is like condemning oneself to live in a cave. Forever in darkness.
We live in Bolehland where everything is a OK! Competition? What competition?
In the eyes of our so-called leaders, we are No.1 in the world in everything we do. Why? Because we are the only country on Mother Earth.
the die is cast, and the wind of change will come. Hmmm maybe until the next election.
Malaysia is only 50 years old and thats very young. The maturity of the political party will come to a 2 party system like the history of other country. How long it will take? :)
Until then, Rakyat team has to learn to nurture its future leaders to pave the way. Bring back talents back to Malaysia, improve our economy, and seriously mentor the young ones into a better person, don't drag them down(this msg is to BN and grown ups). They will blame you when they grow up. The kids are not stupid.
Those who are in power will always be in power, because we give it to them consciously and unconsciously(e.g. as a poor person do you choose money or pride/freedom?).
Until we are awake (when the numbers of "we" reached to a certain stage), the winds of change will come...

Forget the shopping list for Target (of random necessities that I know I'll forget) on the kitchen table.
Forget to remind both boys to go potty before we leave.
Forget to put shoes on baby as we go to get his first hair cut.
"I forgot to put baby's shoes on! What kind of mother am I?" I mutter, irritated at myself.
Without missing a beat Noah says, "You're a good mother."
I don't know if I've ever felt more thankful for such a compliment before in my life.
After dropping Noah off for school without a minute to spare, I hear Carter say a prayer as we drive away, "Father God, please help Noah not to have any seizures or coughing at school and that he has a won-der-ful day. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen."

I am preparing for the annual Tomahawk Fall Ride & Fly Fishing Expedition & this time I thought I would attempt to get a little local information beforehand.
Since I am limited by the amount of stuff I can pack on the back of my motorcycle, I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on accessible places to fly fish in the Tomahawk region. I'd like to be able to rent a small boat or a canoe so I wouldn't have to pack waders & wading boots - I'd much rather pack both my 8wt. & 6 wt. rods in the hopes of catching a Northern or two, as well as some smallmouth bass.
Any information would be appreciated.

LISBON -County commissioners are displeased with the small mess left behind by some food vendors following the recent Johnny Appleseed Festival.
Speaking at this week's meeting, commissioners said a vendor or two may be responsible for apparently dumping grease or oil, potato peels and other food items in the courthouse parking lot at the conclusion of the two-day festival on Sept. 22.
The worst of it occurred in the south parking lot on West Washington Street behind the former Bad Frogs tavern. Commissioners allow the Lisbon Area Chamber of Commerce to use the property for the festival, with carnival rides and food concession stands set up in the parking lots.
Commissioner Tim Weigle found what appeared to be several trails of either grease or cooking oil, one of which led to a storm sewer, while he was walking through the south parking lot on Sept. 23. He said there also appeared to be potato peels and other food products scattered among the grease/oil trails.
There was also some minor damage to the new blacktop parking lot surface by a portable Dumpster that was used during the festival.
Commissioner Mike Halleck said there were also what appeared to be some grease/oil trails in the main parking lot, and the storm sewer there smelled as if something had been disposed of in it other than grease or oil.
"You expect a little trash ... but that behavior is inexcusable," he said.
Halleck blamed the vendors and not the chamber. "It's a shame. These people don't live here and then move on," he said.
The festival ends late Sunday night, and chamber director Marilyn McCullough said they opt to clean up the festival grounds during the daylight hours on Monday, usually at the end of the work day, when the parking lots are empty.
The Lisbon Fire Department agreed to hose down the areas with a degreaser solution on Wednesday night, and commissioners thanked the chamber and fire department.
"We'll make it right. What can I say," McCullough said.
The Rev. Pam Gable from the Methodist Church attended the commissioners meeting. The church operates a chicken barbecue as a fundraiser during the festival.
"Our chicken is not greasy, so we did not contribute" to the problem, she joked.
Gable said the only problem they experienced this year is some of the vendors took up most of the church parking spaces.
Commissioners said they will continue to let the parking lots be used for the festival, with Halleck pointing out the ride company posts a bond with the chamber to cover any damage. Commissioners spent $60,000 in the past 18 months to blacktop all of the parking lots.
"We'll have to monitor this more closely, and hopefully the vendors will respect the county and village more," Halleck said.

Prehypertension is blood
pressure that is higher than normal but not high enough to be
high blood pressure. It is a warning that your blood
pressure is going up.
Blood pressure is a measure of how hard
your blood pushes against the walls of your arteries. Blood pressure that is
too high (also called hypertension) harms your blood vessels. This raises your
risk of
heart attack,
kidney failure, and other health problems.
pressure is shown as two numbers, such as 120/80 (say "120 over 80"). The top
number is the pressure when the heart pumps blood. It is called the systolic pressure. The bottom number is the
pressure when the heart relaxes and fills with blood. It is called the diastolic pressure. An ideal blood pressure for an adult is
less than 120/80. High blood pressure is 140/90 or higher. Prehypertension is
between ideal blood pressure and hypertension. You have prehypertension if your top number is 120 to 139, or your bottom number is 80 to 89, or both.
Experts don't
know the exact cause of high blood pressure. But they agree that some things
can make blood pressure go up. They include not getting enough exercise and
being overweight. Eating foods that have too much sodium (salt) and drinking
too much alcohol also can raise blood pressure.
Blood pressure that is
higher than normal does not cause symptoms. Most people feel fine. They find
out they have higher-than-normal blood pressure during a routine exam or a
doctor visit for another problem.
A simple test
with a blood pressure cuff is all you need to find out your
blood pressure. The doctor or nurse puts the cuff around your arm and pumps air
into the cuff. The cuff squeezes your arm. The doctor or nurse takes your blood
pressure while letting the air out of the cuff.
If this test shows that your blood pressure is
higher than normal, your doctor may have you come in for a follow-up visit to be tested again.
This will confirm that you have prehypertension.
Some people only have higher blood pressure when they're at the
doctor's office. This is called
white-coat hypertension. If your doctor thinks this is getting in the way of measuring your
true blood pressure, you may need to take your blood pressure at home.
Heart-healthy lifestyle changes can lower your blood pressure if you have prehypertension.

There was a plan for indoor season. There were goals to make and benchmarks to hit. But a funny thing happened for sophomore Meghan Manley. In the process, she exceeded those goals. And then some.
The former standout at Orchard Park High School set the University at Buffalo 800-meter indoor record earlier this month, running a 2:06.97.
"I surprised myself with my season," Manley said with a laugh. "I didn't think it was going to go as well as it has been."
"It's tough to surprise me, but that surprised me," Buffalo coach Vicki Mitchell said. "Her workouts, though, would indicate she was ready to do it."
Through last week's performances, Manley's time ranks as the 20th best in NCAA Division I this indoor season, setting her up for the Mid-American Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships Friday and Saturday in Ypsilanti, Mich.
The surprises keep coming for Manley, who ran a 2:08.81 in the 800 to place fifth in the MAC outdoor championships as a freshman, earning her the team's top newcomer honor.
"Last year, it was a whole new thing for me so I'm surprised I did as well as I did," Manley said when describing her freshman year.
She was ready to up her game this season. The goal for indoor was to end the season running right around 2:08, or her best outdoor time from last year. That would set her up for a faster outdoor season.
"But now I'm a 2:06," Manley said. "So everything's changed."
She credits her improvement to consistency in her training, the addition of strength and cross training, and a more serious, diligent attitude toward her workouts. And while she physically is getting stronger,there are some skills she already had when she arrived at UB.
"Even as a freshman, she has run with an incredible level of experience and almost wisdom in her races," Mitchell said. "She places herself in good positions, and much of the 800-meter running is tactically running correct. She has that instinctively, which is huge, because there are some other ones who don't.
"We do talk about it: How are we going to run from the front? What are you going to do if you get boxed in? But at some point, when you're in that position, you can know everything and not know how to put it into play. She knows how to put it into play."
The tactics are useful for the 800 meters,especially since it is such a unique race. Manley comes to the event as a middle distance runner. The 800 is probably the shortest event she would run.
There's also Asia Henry, who is redshirting this indoor season. Henry had the previous UB record in the indoor 800 and last year advanced to the NCAA outdoor championships in that event.
Manley and Henry run the same event, yet they don't train together. Henry is a sprinter and the 800 is the longest distance she will race.
"We both run 800 but we both have completely different training," Manley said. "I'm more distance and she's more sprint based. It's different.
"We've only raced each other a few times because she redshirted this indoor season. It's kind of different. She's always ahead of me in the first lap. I run from behind. I don't go out real fast and stuff like that."
Tactics come into play at the MAC championship as well. Buffalo's overall team performance is likely to suffer as the Bulls opted to redshirt several key athletes during this indoor season.
Along with Manley there are some individual performances from Buffalo athletes to watch for.
On the women's side, freshman sprinter Malayah White (Mount St. Mary) is expected to be ready to go after healing a hamstring injury the last two meets. In the 400, juniors Donna Jeanty and Crystal Graham are running well.
Look for solid performances from seniors Jackie Burns (North Tonawanda) in the 800 with Manley, and Brooklynn Ventura in the hurdles.
Buffalo has always been strong in field events and this year look for possible points from pole vaulters Kelly Truppo (Alden) and Jenna Van Dusen (Lew-Port).
On the men's side, Miles Lewis has the fastest time in the MAC this season in the 60-meter dash. He finished third in the event at last year's meet. Jonathan Jones (Portville) has the best throw in the conference in the shot put this season.
"The MAC this year, well, every year, it just gets stronger and stronger and stronger," Mitchell said. "Look at the descending order list of top performances. I've always said our conference is often referred to as a "mid major" but in track and field it's not. We have a lot of athletes ranked in the top 20 in the U.S. right now including Meg. When you look at those performance lists, it validates how strong our conference is."

A Milwaukee homeless shelter is getting a $2 million facelift.
Repairers of the Breach is at 13th and Vliet streets. It's the only daytime refuge and shelter for the homeless.
The upgrades began eight years ago and are almost finished.
The center held an interfaith service at Marquette University to say thanks.
"Many, many people have helped us get this far. This event represents the outpouring of compassion from a large number of people who have helped us with this process," said MacCanon Brown of Repairers of the Breach
The renovated shelter has a new employment assistance center as well as space for adult basic education and a free medical clinic.

Additional Information
Veal tenderloin lives up to its name. A favorite cut of our chef clients, the tenderloin is not often sold in its entirety, but we are happy to offer it to you here.
This most tender of cuts can be sliced into thick medallions, browned in a pan then finished in the oven. Deglaze the pan with veal demi-glace and a splash of wine; drizzle the finished sauce over the medallions.
Go ahead: gild the lily with a pat of truffle butter. Veal tenderloin deserves it.
This cut also lends itself to being stuffed, trussed and roasted in the oven. We like porcini mushrooms and chestnuts for a stuffing. And fresh figs are nice, too.
Just the facts
- Humanely raised in a stress-free environment
- Never caged or penned
- Male Holstein stock, raised to a maximum of 425 pounds
- Diet of high-quality natural milk protein product, pure spring water
- No antibiotics, no hormones, ever
- Never irradiated or injected with any substance
- Sold in an uncooked state
- Product of USA & Canada
- Use within 3-5 days of receipt
Like everything else at D'Artagnan, our veal is raised humanely to produce the best flavor. We work with a cooperative of small farms in upstate New York and Canada that raise Holstein calves on milk formula alone. The calves are never individually caged or penned.
Instead, they are raised in group housing, in open spaces with clean straw bedding, free to socialize with other calves in a sunlit, comfortable environment.
These unique veal barns have been lauded by Dr. Temple Grandin, an expert on humane animal husbandry. The barns are temperature controlled, with ample air circulation and plenty of space for free movement; the calves have access to the outdoors when weather permits. The farmers strive to minimize stress on the calves, and limit the number of calves per barn.
The feed consists only of a high-quality milk protein product and pure well water, to which the calves are allowed 24-hour access, via a highly technical nipple feeding system. They are never administered any GMO products, antibiotics or growth hormones. Our veal farmers achieve a careful balance between tradition and technology, weighing the calves to determine their nutritional needs and monitoring them carefully to ensure their health and well-being.
