Mr. Dallas writes about night life for the over-30 set. He is not a positive role model.
Dallas doesn't have much in the way of natural splendor to admire, but there is a riotous abundance of night life to stimulate the senses. Go highfalutin and pinkies-up (Ritz-Carlton's patio) or worn-jeans slacker (Lee Harvey's). Loud and provocative (Teddy's Room) or quietly subversive (Absinthe Lounge).
These recommendations are geared to visitors who are out and about but allergic to grunge and frat-boy excess. In general, the nightspots are easy to get to and easy to park at. They offer good sights (people-watching is pre-eminent), good sounds (music appropriate to the locales) and good times (the rooms, drinks, scenes).
To get away and misbehave, try:
LIBRARY BAR: The bar at the Warwick Melrose has played provocateur to several generations of upper-tier mischief-makers. Yes, those are real books on the shelves, which are ignored by patrons who come for sturdy cocktails, small-combo jazz and intimate chitchat.
3015 Oak Lawn Ave. at Cedar Springs, Dallas. 214-224-3144. warwickmelrosedallas.com.
31 (ABOVE BISTRO 31): Gossip in style in this 2,700-square-foot lounge that's divided into three distinct spaces: a Champagne room and terrace villa connected by an open-air patio. The handsome Champagne room, available by reservation, features more than 20 bubblies, seven by the glass. The cocktail menu leans heavily on sparklers, too. It includes an Aperol Spritz, French Mojito and a French 75.
87 Highland Park Village, Preston Road and Mockingbird Lane, Dallas. 214-420-3900. bistro31dallas.com.
To see what the kids are doing, try:
TEDDY'S ROOM: The Uptown nightspot features a live band and burlesque dancers who prance along the curvilinear bar. To be clear: The dancers keep their tops on. Their routines are fun and provocative, but not the stuff of gentlemen's clubs. The Teddy in question is Theodore Roosevelt, so photos and artifacts of the 26th president pepper the walls.
2404 Cedar Springs Road, No. 400, at Maple, Dallas. 214-808-7909. teddysroomdallas.com.
GLASS LOUNGE: Two stories of plate glass peer out onto a busy curve of Cedar Springs Road. Overhead, a massive chandelier illuminates the circle of bottle-service banquettes. DJs pound out electronica and hip-hop at this Miami-inspired club, which is connected to the rooftop Revive pool club.
1899 McKinney Ave. at North Akard, Dallas. 214-740-1899. glassuptown.com.
To sip local cocktail culture, try:
THE STANDARD POUR: The emphasis at the packed-on-weekends McKinney Avenue spot is on classic cocktails (Negronis, Manhattans) and their variants. The decor, played out against hardwood floors and brick walls, evokes Prohibition days through art and fixtures. A massive ironwork bar displays a 62-strong array of scotches, bourbons and ryes.
2900 McKinney Ave. at Allen, Dallas. 214-935-1370. tspdallas.com.
OAK: The highly regarded Design District restaurant features a 30-foot, green granite bar, which offers more than a way station to a table but less than a full-blown night-life scene. Its cocktail list offers easy-drinking twists on classics, but consider requesting the nigh-on-perfect Vieux Carré (Rittenhouse rye whiskey, Hennessy cognac and Benedictine, dosed with bitters and simple syrup).
1628 Oak Lawn Ave. near Hi Line, Dallas. 214-712-9700. oakdallas.com.
Popular patios
RATTLESNAKE BAR (Ritz-Carlton): Slip past the lounge that fronts Fearing's restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton and head to the usually bustling patio lounge. High-livers, well-heeled conventioneers and visiting VIPs buzz among the light-bedecked foliage or kick back around the fountain. Prices are Ritzy, but pours are generous.
2121 McKinney Ave. at Pearl, Dallas. 214-922-4848. ritzcarlton.com/dallas.
DRAGONFLY (Hotel ZaZa): Younger celebrities tend to encamp at ZaZa when they're in town, which helps pull Dallas' pretty people to the poolside lounge, where DJs spin while movies are projected on one wall of the hotel. When the patio gets too thick with minglers, escape inside to the restaurant bar.
2332 Leonard St. at McKinney, Dallas. 214-550-9500. hotelzaza.com.


text: The first of our four blood moons was April 14, 2014 - these signal upcoming cataclysms (God's punishment for our unrepentant attitudes). Jesus begins breaking the seven seals of the Scroll of Judgment after the saved are raptured (Rev 4). The four horsemen of the apocalypse are unleashed onto the world by God even while he is still limited His judgment (Rev 6/7/8; Matt 24; Zech 6:1-8). Rider of the white horse - the anti-christ with a bow/crown but no arrows (weapons) ... he will conquer with deception to obtain power (sound familiar)? Second seal is red horse (war/bloodshed). Third seal is black horse (famine/death). Fourth seal is the pale horse of death/Hell (pestilence/disease). One fourth of the earth will be killed with the sword/hunger/death/beasts (old English translation of rats). Fifth seal is the saved saints of the Tribulation killed for their faith in God. Sixth seal is a great (violent) earthquake; sun becomes black ... everyone will try to hide from God (is this the solar eclipse in the middle of these four blood moons ... to occur on March 20, 2015?). Seventh seal will be broken after God's people are marked as His own with His seal (Rev 8:1). Much more devastation to come, but this is how close we are to finally paying the penalty for our flagrant and total disregard for God and His commands.

NEW YORK - The best goaltender on the ice last night wore orange and black. There's your silver lining in a gruesome, 4-1 Game 1 loss to the New York Rangers, a defeat that seemed to suggest that this nine-game losing streak in Madison Square Garden is more about personnel than coincidence.
Ray Emery was supposed to be the big difference between the teams. They had an Olympic goalie. You had a rebuilt 31-year-old backup between your pipes. But Ray was not the problem. The problem was that besides him, there wasn't a single player wearing that jersey who was better than the player in the same role wearing blue.

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." - Mark Twain.
I'm still enough of a newbie to this whole "dad" thing that I remain somewhat bemused when Father's Day rolls around, and I belatedly realize that I now belong to the group being celebrated. My son, Kenji, is now a few months shy of his second birthday, and I'm slowly coming around to the fact that, yep, no doubt about it, I'm a dad.
But being a dyed-in-the-wool movie and TV geek, I also occasionally find myself taking comfort and inspiration from the various fathers that have graced the silver screen through the years.
Probably the fictional dads that leap to most people's minds right off the bat hail mostly from the small screen, a plethora of all types, from the iconic "best dad EVER" types like Sheriff Andy Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show, Lucas McCain on The Rifleman, and Bill Bixby's Tom Corbett on The Courtship of Eddie's Father; to the loving yet sarcastic grouches who can't wait till the kids move out, like Bill Huxtable on The Cosby Show; to the lovable, well-meaning dolts (a modern TV specialty), like Ray Romano on Everybody Loves Raymond, Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell) on Modern Family, or, heaven forbid, the king of all idiot dads, Homer Simpson.
There have been all kinds of memorable movie fathers, covering the spectrum of human experience, from the noble (Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird); to the badass, take-no-prisoners type (Gene Hackman in Uncommon Valor, Liam Neeson in Taken); to the absentee, estranged father trying to reconnect with their kids (Bruce Willis in The Last Boy Scout, Die Hard, etc.); to the intimidating power brokers (Marlon Brando's Don Corleone in The Godfather); to the flat-out crazy and deranged (Donald Pleasence as nasty "white trash" Preacher Quint in Will Penny). These are just a few examples, the tip of a very large iceberg, which also includes all manner of deadbeat fathers, abusive fathers, surrogate fathers, father figures, and just plain old Fathers (like Spencer Tracy's Father Flanagan in Boy's Town).
Many of the above types loom large in the imagination. For the purposes of this post, I'm going to stick to actual fathers, doing their level best, no matter the circumstances or how brief their appearance when it comes to running time, to leave a lasting impact on their "movie" kids, and, frequently, the viewer. Here, in no particular order than off the top of my head, are a few cinematic "class act" dads:
Please note, this baker's dozen is of course far from a comprehensive list. I've no doubt overlooked a slew of great choices for cinema dads. If I left out any of your personal favorites, by all means, let me know in the comments section below.
And, if you're like me, and lucky enough to still have a dad alive, well, and active in your life - be sure to give your old man a call and wish him a Happy Father's Day!

Send Three and Fourpence, We Are Going to a Dance
In the annals of military folklore is the story of the supposed orders being sent by a British unit in World War 1 that was sent as "Send reinforcements, we are going to advance" but received by the headquarters as "Send Three and Fourpence, we are going to a dance". And this was in the days before Google Translate.
Forbes carries a story of the latter-day equivalent.
When an Israeli Army officer says, "Follow me!", the soldiers under his command may be confused whether he means Facebook or a firefight.
According to an Israeli general, some officers have started issuing military orders to their men by email and text message. Even more incredibly, soldiers frequently ignore those orders, a development the general warned could have dire consequences in time of war.
Apparently the problem is one of poor commanders not getting in the thick of things with their men. Forbes reports a complaint by Army ombudsman Maj. Gen. Yitzhak Brik.
"There are some commands that you need to give while looking the soldier in the eyes, otherwise the soldiers won't follow the commanders into battle," Brik said.
Brik may be fighting a rear-guard action. Later this summer, the Israeli Army is issuing a new uniform that boasts an interior pocket for soldiers to carry their cell phone.

After reading your profile, I see that you have been in Real Estate for 16 years. That's great.
Over the past several months, I have hosted several open houses on my listings, and I have had a great response when I put signs out a week early and send out flyers to the neighborhood inviting them to the open house. Our MLS has an option to include our open house dates so that buyers searching on the public MLS sees it.
Some other pointers: if you don't have listings, host an OH for another agent within your company, if you don't want to spend the money to mail out invitations to your open house, walk the neighborhood and put them in mailboxes. Also, be aware, when placing OH signs out a week early you may lose some. We've had several kids take them...but, for the most part, they've remained where placed and have driven traffic to the OH. Hope that helps some--it has helped me.
I started my business making friends with FSBO's. They are pretty good folks. I offered to be of assistance if there was any way I could help. I kept up with them to see how things were going. Hoping that when and if they decided to list, I would be the agent they called.
One of the easiest ways to stir up business is to stir up your data base. Send notes out to your friends, and make sure they remember what you do for a living. Ask them to give you referrals, send notes out to past clients. Let them know you have set some great goals for yourself and ask them if they would be willing to give you referrals to help you acheive those goals. Ask everyone you know or see if they will send you business.

BAYONET POINT — A putrid smell that drove some Beacon Woods residents indoors in June seems to be cleared up.
Shortly after Tropical Storm Andrea blew through Pasco County in June, residents of the golf course community started complaining of a rotting, manure-like smell.
Beacon Woods Civic Association president Ron Meiczinger said the stench was concentrated in the creek area right behind three homes on Charter Oak Way, near the 17th hole of the golf course.
Mike Garrett, director of Pasco County's Public Works, said the smell was determined to not be manmade.
"It was not sewage, period," he said.
The likely culprit was rotting duckweed, Garrett said. The weeds grow in the canal, and he said that when workers reopened a duckweed sample a few days after removing it, the duckweed smelled like the canal.
However, Public Works does not deal with duckweed and didn't remove it.
Maggi Kosuda, manager of the neighborhood civic association, said she hasn't heard of any residents calling to complain about the smell since late June. She said she was told that still creek water likely created the problem, but strange smells haven't been an issue recently.
"As far as we know, the smell is not there anymore," she said.

CM yet to distribute portfolios to ministers
30 Sep 2016 | PNS | Lucknow
Even after three days of the expansion of his cabinet, Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav is yet to distribute portfolios to the incumbent and is waiting for a 'green signal' from Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav. A senior minister told 'The Pioneer' on Thursday that the Chief Minister does not want to take chances this time and has left the matter for Mulayam Singh to solve...
- State govt brace up security following Indian Army's surgical Strike
- Former GM of 'The Pioneer' Dipak Mukherji dies following illness
The call of Modi to Pakistan and its people for war against poverty has no answers (from them).
When you begin, the kind of flak you get for anything an everything is disappointing.
These (terrorists) are people who kill children, kill Muslims, take sex slaves. There's no religious rationale.

The S.C. State Ports Authority inland port in Greer is slotted to begin operations on Oct. 14, an official said today.
The 100-acre intermodal terminal was initially scheduled to open in September, but development was delayed due to more than 72 days of rain, SPA officials have said.
Matt Tomsic, a spokesman for the maritime agency, said Oct. 14 will be a "soft opening" for the facility that sits near Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.
The inland port will allow shipping containers to be transferred between trucks and Norfolk Southern rail cars running to and from the Port of Charleston, some 220 miles away. It's expected to take tens of thousands of trucks off of state roads and highways each year.
The $48.6 million project is a shared expense between SPA and Norfolk Southern.
The port is part of SPA's billion-dollar program to update and add new facilities over the next decade.
The plan comes as SPA looks to propel South Carolina's market share in the shipping industry, an effort that includes work under way to deepen Charleston Harbor so it can accommodate larger container ships once the expansion of the Panama Canal is completed in 2015.

Students of the American Judo and Jiu-Jitsu Academy of Summerville brought home medals from the first Judo Jones Memorial Tournament held Feb. 22 in Jacksonville, N.C.
More than 20 students from the school competed in the tournament held in memorial of U.S. Marine Corps (ret.) Earnest Judo Jones, a hand-to-hand combat specialist and instructor who fought in World War II in the first all African-American Marine Corps Regiment.
In attendance was Patriotic Tribute honoree James H. Takemori, U.S. Army (ret.), who served in the highly decorated, all Japanese American, 442nd Regimental Combat Team in the war. Takemori, who recently celebrated his 88th birthday, is now one of only a handful of Americans who holds a ninth degree black belt in the sport of judo.
The American Judo and Jiu-Jitsu Academy team included male and female students ranging in age from 4 to 67. They won nine gold medals, nine silver medals and six bronze medals. That is more than any other school in attendance, including judo powerhouse schools College Park Judo of Maryland and the U.S. Naval Academy Judo team, earned.
I am extremely proud of how well these guys performed, Al Jacobs, a third-degree black belt and current national champion who coaches the Summerville team, said. They trained very hard for this tournament and that hard work earned them the respect of many tough opponents.
Outstanding performers in the Senior Competition included Elijah Fletcher, Matthew Morris and Thurston Linning, who each placed first in their weight categories.
Arianna Putnam, who has been training for less than a year, awed fans with her indefatigable drive and placed first in two weight categories after several grueling matches. Also winning gold medals were Heather Morrison, who went undefeated in her first competition, Haut Gap and Robert Gouthro, who won the formal demonstration, or kata, competition with his wife and demonstration partner, Lisa.
In the juniors competition, Marshall Peagler, 15, took home gold in his first judo competition. Peagler is a freshman and wrestler at Summerville High School who trains in judo in the off season to boost his strength and skill.
Several junior competitors won silver medals including Anthony Vaccarro, 13, Sean Jacobs, 11, David Rundall, 11, and Levi Mata, 5, who won 4 of his 5 matches. Bronze medals were awarded to Max Negreiros, 8, and Justin Mata, 10, who fought against two nationally-ranked competitors.
Judo is a dynamic sport where competitors use strength and skill to throw and pin opponents. Coach Jacobs has competed in judo since the age of 8 and wrestled since the age of 12. Recently, he won the 2013 National Master Athlete of the Year Award for his outstanding performance at the U.S. Senior National Championships.

They must go to jail.
"Maj. Paul Burney, a United States Army psychiatrist assigned to interrogations in Guantánamo Bay that summer of 2002, told Army investigators of another White House imperative: "A large part of the time we were focused on trying to establish a link between Al Qaeda and Iraq and we were not being successful." As higher-ups got more "frustrated" at the inability to prove this connection, the major said, "there was more and more pressure to resort to measures" that might produce that intelligence.In other words, the ticking time bomb was not another potential Qaeda attack on America but the Bush administration's ticking timetable for selling a war in Iraq; it wanted to pressure Congress to pass a war resolution before the 2002 midterm elections."
Anyone who stands in the way of putting these traitors away for life is complicit in torture and treason.

Violence is taboo, because it produces answers to please...

The above is a paraphrasing of a statement from the British officer assigned to interogate Nazi spies during World War II. He firmly held that torture and violence would not be used for practical and not necessarily humane reasons. Torture produces bad intelligence.

I'd like to suggest you call a commercial case color guy: Ed Szfranski (608) 221 3008. He has no email I know of. I have a bluing business and use Ed for all my case coloring work. If you prepare the receiver to about 400 grit and have it ready to go, you'll find Ed's work is beautiful and reasonably priced. You could also have the receiver hot blued with Du-Lite 3-0 salts which will stay black and not turn reddish.

Would i be able to get it hot blued?

Fans of the Apple TV who prefer to make their own rules have been waiting patiently for news of a jailbreak for the Apple TV 3. But while JailbreakCon 2012 had a lot to offer for many, fans of the Apple TV were left with very few hard facts. There were obviously no demonstrations of any new jailbreak, and nitoTV had even less information to share on future availability.
apple tv 5.0
Windows version of AirParrot, an app that streams your computer's screen to your Apple TV 2 or Apple TV 3 over AirPlay, has been released a few weeks ago but if you haven't grabbed your own copy yet, here is a chance to get it for free.
Great news for all Remote HD fans – the plugin is back on the Apple TV 2. Remote HD has been updated for 5.0.x compatibility and it's now available in the Manage Extras menu via aTV Flash (black). For those who don't have aTV Flash (black) installed, the plugin should be soon available to download from Remote HD website. Before the installation, you may want to check FireCore forums, as users report that there are some issues with the updated Remote HD plugin.
AirParrot, an app that streams your computer's screen to your Apple TV 2 or Apple TV 3 over AirPlay, is finally available for Windows. AirParrot works by encoding your display's image as H.264 video and sending it to your Apple TV in real time. Since it also features audio mirroring, AirParrot seems like a perfect solution to watch your movies and videos on the big screen, and, especially, to bring web pages based on Flash content, like Hulu, to your HDTV.
FireCore released a new version of aTV Flash (black) for Apple TV 2. aTV Flash (black) 1.5 comes with a revamped player that is optimized for iOS 5.0 and later and is claimed to improve performance for virtually all file type resulting in "noticeably smoother playback". The new version of FireCore's Apple TV supercharger also includes NFS streaming, subtitle timing settings, additional translations and a bunch of other improvements and fixes.
A new beta of AirParrot, an app that streams your Mac's display to your Apple TV 2 or Apple TV 3 over AirPlay, is now available. AirParrot 1.3 beta5 comes with 1080p support for the third-generation Apple TV, individual app mirroring, "greatly" improved mirror speed and some stability fixes. The new version uses an almost completely rewritten method for mirroring and encoding frames. This results in lower CPU usage and faster frame rates.

• The objective of this study was to determine whether racial differences exist with regard to the anatomical distribution of adenocarcinoma of the colon. We conducted a retrospective study of consecutive patients with primary colon cancer seen during a 12-year period (1976 to 1987) identified by the Rush Tumor Registry. The setting was a large, tertiary-care, private medical center, located in the inner city of Chicago, Ill. A χ2 unpaired Student's t test of association was performed to detect any statistically significant difference in the anatomical sites of distribution between blacks and whites. A statistically significant percentage of black patients had proximally located primary colon lesions compared with white patients. This observation was independent of the actual anatomical definition of right-sided or proximal colon lesions. These findings suggest that a significant percentage of black and white patients are less likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer at a more curable stage, when abiding by the current screening guidelines of the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute. The impact is greater on black patients with adenocarcinoma of the colon.

Most enjoyable cruise from start to finish. Obviously the fjords are fantastic and the weather was great too but the ship was fantastic, food, crew, cabins and the cleanliness was exemplary, they never stopped cleaning and were all so helpful and friendly. There were six of us, varying in age from my mother-in-law, nearly 90 to my son's girlfriend of 23 and we all really enjoyed it. Food was excellent in both restaurants, cocktails at £3.85 very good value as my daughter, who lives in London, says she pays a lot more than that there! I think the four of them tried each and every one! Many thanks to their cabin steward (457) for putting up with the four of them and also to Leonid, our steward (818) always smiling and helpful.
The shows were also very good and the violinist Olga exceptional and Marco, in Scotts bar never stopped rushing around with drinks and cleaning tables. The embarkation and disembarkation were faultless and very easy too.
All in all a wonderful cruise and we will definitely be back. Thanks to all.

Prostate Cancer Awareness Stamp
to be unveiled at campus event
The Yale Cancer Center (YCC) will observe National Cancer Survivors Day on Thursday, June 3, with workshops and a luncheon for cancer survivors, and a tribute to the U.S. Postal Service.
WTNH-Channel 8 meteorologist Mel Goldstein will be master of ceremonies for the event, which will take place 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. in the Jane Ellen Hope Building, 315 Cedar St.
Cancer patients and survivors and their families are invited to participate in workshops on such topics as "Life After Cancer Treatment," "Healing Through the Arts," "Surfing the Net for Cancer Information," "Cancer Genetics," "Exercise and Nutrition," "Reflexology," "Acupuncture" and "Reiki." The day's activities also will include an outdoor luncheon on the patio of Edward S. Harkness Memorial Hall, 367 Cedar St.
During the luncheon at noon, the U.S. Postal Service will be honored for its efforts to heighten awareness of cancer, and the new Prostate Cancer Awareness Stamp will be unveiled. This is the third stamp the U.S. Post Office has issued in recent years to increase public awareness about cancer and to raise funds for cancer research.
In addition to Goldstein, a cancer survivor himself, other featured speakers will be Dr. Vincent T. DeVita Jr., director of the Yale Cancer Center; Dr. John Colberg, assistant professor of surgery at the School of Medicine; and Winston Dyer, board member of the National Prostate Cancer Coalition.
The message on this year's stamp, "Annual check-ups and tests," promotes the importance of early detection and treatment of prostate cancer. An estimated 37,000 men nationwise are expected to die of the disease this year -- 400 in Connecticut alone -- making prostate cancer the second leading cause of cancer death in men after lung cancer. Mortality rates among African-American men are over twice as high as rates in white men. Men 50 and older are encouraged to have a digital rectal exam of the prostate gland and a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test every year. African-Americans and other men at high risk for prostate cancer -- such as men with a family history of the disease -- should be tested at an earlier age, say doctors.
An estimated 1.2 million people are expected to be diagnosed with new cases of cancer this year. With early detection and treatment, 60 percent are expected to survive for at least five years. Today, there are approximately 8 million cancer survivors in the United States.
Limited-edition first-day stamp covers will be available. They feature a commemorative cachet designed by Darien, Connecticut, artist Laura Wyn Thompson, whose husband, Roger, is a prostate cancer survivor. The first-day-of-issue postmark was created by another prostate cancer survivor, Steve Corman of Stamford, Connecticut.
The Cancer Survivors Day/Prostate Cancer Awareness Stamp program is free and open to the public, though registration is required. For more information or to register, call 688-2000.

Does your cupboard hold a package of unfinished crackers? An old bag of whole grain flour? Some leftover nuts from baking? Or perhaps some vegetable oil you've been slow to finish?
If so, you may be harboring dangerous, rancid foods.
Protecting against rancidity -- which occurs when oils oxidize -- has long been a challenge for home cooks, but a recent perfect stew of factors has made the issue more serious. This situation comes courtesy of the rising popularity of "healthy" polyunsaturated fats, whole grain flours and warehouse stores. They've resulted in American pantries full of food that goes rancid much faster than we're used to.
Add to that Americans' growing acclimation to the taste of rancid foods, and the problem gets bigger.
So what's the problem with eating rancid oils?
"There are at least two," says lipid specialist and University of Massachusetts professor Eric Decker. "One is that they lose their vitamins, but they also can develop potentially toxic compounds" that have been linked to advanced aging, neurological disorders, heart disease and cancer.
"They're carcinogenic, pro-inflammatory and very toxic," says integrative medicine specialist Andrew Weil. "They are also widespread in the food chain."
The growing problem comes as a byproduct of Americans and food manufacturers swapping transfats for polyunsaturates in their products over the past 10 years. For all of their artery-blocking evil, transfats had at least one big benefit: They were very stable, meaning they took forever to go rancid. The same is true of highly refined white flours.
But when these flours and fats were replaced with whole grain flours and polyunsaturates, such as corn and soybean oil, that shelf stability collapsed.
"Manufacturers noticed this and had to change their delivery schedules and formulations," says Kantha Shelke a food scientist and spokeswoman for the Institute of Food Technologists. "And some consumers became irrationally angry that their food was not lasting as long as it had before."
While monounsaturates (like olive or peanut oil) also can go rancid after about a year, they are still 10 times more stable than polyunsaturates, according to Decker.
"People need to minimize their use [of polyunsaturated oils]," Weil says. "And if you do use them, keep them in the refrigerator in the dark, and buy only small amounts that you use up quickly."
And while some consumers can sniff out (and toss out) rancid foods, many don't know the telltale stale, grassy, paintlike odor. Others may not be able to detect them through layers of other flavorings. And still others might feel compelled to consume them out of thriftiness or hopes that a strong sauce will mask the taste.
Because air, light and heat speed up oxidation, it's normally a bad idea to, for example, buy vegetable oil in a clear bottle and place it on the counter in a warm kitchen for several months.
Exotic oils (macadamia, walnut, sesame, fish, flaxseed, etc.), nuts and whole grain flours are also major candidates for fast rancidity, and should all be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Whole intact grains and nuts in their shells, however, last much longer.
Frequent shopping for small quantities of fresh and freshly processed foods has served much of the world well in avoiding rancid food. Americans, however, favor a different grocery-shopping pattern that involves less-frequent trips for larger quantities of shelf-stable foods.
Though some hope that our sense of smell and taste can help us avoid rancid foods, recent studies raise doubts. Shelke notes that new immigrants to America often think peanut butter smells rancid while American natives think it just smells like peanut butter.

George: Here's player I could see the Cowboys taking with their first-round pick ...
Cowboys beat writer Brandon George answered questions in a chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights.
Shawn Schultz ... Until and ONLY until Jerry is NO the GM anymore, why should we die hard Cowboys fans have an ounce of hope?
Brandon George: You have to find hope with Jerry Jones as the GM because that's not going to change. The Cowboys will always be competitive but with an aging core group they have to make a run now. There will be more and more talk of urgency this off-season.
TEXAN FOR LIFE ... Brandon, how soon do you think the Cowboys will host another Super Bowl?
Brandon George: Within the next five or six years, probably. They'll have a great chance to land another game.
Rollo ... Do you prefer Warmack(ALA) or Cooper(NC) if they are both available at out first pick.
Brandon George: I lean toward the OG Cooper from North Carolina. I could see him going to the Cowboys at pick No. 18. They need help in the interior of the OL. I'm heading to Mobile, Alabama, on Sunday night and will be there for four days watching Senior Bowl practices, so I'll get a better feel for some of the top seniors coming out in this draft.

By Jim Carlucci and Kevin Moriarty
Tony Mack became a convicted felon Feb. 7, found guilty on six federal counts of crimes committed in office, 18 months after FBI raids revealed he was in criminal trouble. Two weeks later, he remains Trenton's mayor.
Mack's criminal odyssey highlights critical problems with New Jersey law that the Legislature must address if other communities — or the state as a whole — are to avoid an experience similar to Trenton's and retain trust in their public officials.
Mack was indicted in December 2012 and resisted several appeals to resign from office at that time.
In New Jersey, public officials indicted for corruption can continue in office. As Americans, we are innocent until proven guilty. However, without making pre-judgments about guilt or innocence, it can be safely said a criminal indictment, at best, is a major distraction to the execution of an official's duties. At worst, the public's business is set aside as the official prepares his or her criminal defense case.
It is reasonable that, for the public good, an indicted official should step down until the matter is resolved. This provides the official with the opportunity to focus on a defense and ensures that his or her public duties will be handled by someone whose attention is focused on the job.
If a matter proceeds to trial and the official is found guilty, there is no guarantee that he or she will be removed from office.
Public officials convicted in a state court or any subdivision thereof immediately forfeit their position. If, however, the charges are federal or from some jurisdiction outside the state of New Jersey, the county prosecutor or state attorney general must petition a Superior Court judge to declare the office vacant.
Until that happens, it is left up to the conscience of someone charged with corruption to act in the best interest of the public and resign. Hamilton's John Bencivengo took this honorable step and resigned as mayor upon his federal conviction. Mack has not.
Individuals like Mack who refuse to do the decent, sensible thing and resign immediately upon conviction force the state to initiate further legal proceedings, increasing costs to the taxpayers and delaying the inevitable.
Public officials need to be reminded that if they act appropriately and conduct themselves ethically, they won't find themselves indicted or convicted.
Illuminating and correcting wrongdoing on the campaign trail could help reduce the number of indicted officials down the road. The Legislature needs to allocate more resources to the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission. Regular users of the ELEC website know that it is down as much as it is up. The problems, reported in the minutes of the November 2013 meeting of the commission, are an outdated and overtaxed computer system and a lack of funds to make the necessary upgrades.
We also urgently need to fine-tune our recall process. New Jersey is one of 29 states that allow a recall from office for local officials such as Mayor Mack, but the threshold for triggering one is extraordinarily high. Current New Jersey law requires the signatures of 25 percent of registered voters in the district represented by the official who is the subject of the proposed recall. Compare that with the standard in such various states as Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada and Wisconsin, where signatures from 25 percent of the actual voter turnout in the most recent election for that office are required.
This seems to make much more sense. Under this standard — still a significant number of voters — the 8,000 Trentonians who signed the Tony Mack recall petition would have triggered a recall election a full year before his arrest and criminal indictment.
A practical and effective recall process will allow New Jersey voters to exercise greater control over elected officials and must be considered a weapon to fight future public corruption.
Almost two years ago, Assemblymen Wayne DeAngelo and Dan Benson introduced bill A1024, which would automatically suspend, without pay, public officials upon indictment. If convicted, the official forfeits his or her office, pay and pension credits from date of indictment. If found not guilty, the official would be reinstated, and back pay and pension would be granted upon successful petition.
State Sen. Linda Greenstein followed with a companion bill. Neither piece of legislation made it out of committee.
The assemblymen have pre-filed their bill for the new legislative term.
In October 2012, Sen. Shirley Turner proposed amending the state constitution to achieve the same goal. Nothing has become of that.
Assemblyman Reed Gusciora has stated he will seek to change state law to allow automatic forfeiture of political office upon criminal conviction, regardless of where the conviction occurs.
Taken together, these measures can help restore the public's trust in our government.
Our state constitution reads: "All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for the protection, security, and benefit of the people, and they have the right at all times to alter or reform the same, whenever the public good may require it."
It is past time to make these changes for the people of New Jersey. The public good requires it.

I have posted a blog about moderate to advanced shell rot treatment. You can see a few pictures there. Also you will notice small white spots as well as something that looks like scaling on the scutes. It can be mushy and smelly if it progresses. Check out Google images as well to get more pictures of shell rot. It can be treated at home as long as it hasn't progressed too far. Also YouTube.com has videos for treatment of shell rot. I hope this helps some.

"We cleared out a bedroom, actually not a bedroom, it was my aunt and uncle's old stuff," O'Connell, 34, told PEOPLE at Saturday's The Hills: A Staged Reading at Hollywood's Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.
"I had my computer and video games in there. That got cleared out for the kids. So, I'm wondering what I'm going to do with my video game stuff. But, maybe that goes out the window when you have kids."
O'Connell (who played The Hills star Brody Jenner in Saturday's show) and wife Rebecca Romjin are expecting their first children – twins – come early winter. Learning about the early stages of parenthood has been a crash course for the pair.
"Baby-proofing the house, but it's mostly getting the nursery ready," O'Connell said about their activities. "It's another room. We've got a couple cribs and stuff, so that's about it."
Help from In-LawsThe couple will be getting a hand from Romijn's mother Elizabeth, O'Connell says. "Her mom is going to come stay with us. I'm sleeping on the couch – I'm kidding, no – clutching the video-game system. No, I'm joking. A lot of people are getting us ready for the first couple months."
Self-deprecating as ever, O'Connell says he's been relegated to last-minute assistance mode, helping when asked.
"She's feeling good," O'Connell said of Romijn, 35. "I think as a husband, you feel a little jittery because at this point you have to just be there to help out as much as possible. Get food, make sure all the DVDs are rented. I'm sort of in a position where I have to assist at this point. So, it's a little nerve-wracking in that sense that I can't, as a guy you want to be the one that's carrying them. You're not."
As for Romijn: "She's great. This is a really happy time for us, it really is."

Argentina "surprised" US intelligence gathering was done by diplomatic channels
In what is considered to be the first official statement by the Argentine government in the Wikileaks scandal, Argentine ambassador to the UN Jorge Argüello said on Tuesday that the released documents "are a delicate matter that will put the US at least in an embarrassing position."
Argüello said he was surprised not because he didn't think that intelligence operations were taking place, but because they were gathered through a diplomatic channel.
This very is surprising he said after being asked about the alleged accusations that the US had conducted intelligence-gathering operations at the UN headquarters.
We should read the content of the cables that still have not been released in order to see if any controversial activities took place, he explained. Ambassador Argüello said that most of the information hadn't made public yet.
I'm not being pressured about the cables in which our country is being mentioned, he clarified, although he acknowledged that it was a grave, serious situation.
"So far (the US government) has not denied the veracity of any of the documents," he concluded.
Meantime the Spanish newspaper El País published new diplomatic cables released by the WikiLeaks organization which state harsh criticisms of former Cabinet Chiefs to the 'Kirchner First Couple'.
According to the cables the mayor from the city of Tigre assured that the one who runs the Argentine government was (former president) Néstor Kirchner and that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner followed orders.
The cable states that during November 2009, Tigre Mayor Sergio Massa and his wife, Malena Galmarini participated of a dinner in which he revealed details about working with late former President and said he was a psychopath, a monster, whose bully approach to politics shows his sense of inferiority. He also considered that the President (Cristina Fernandez) would be better off without him.
According to US ambassador in Argentina, Vilma Martínez, Massa's wife told him repeatedly to lower his voice, El País states.
The Spaniard publication also stated that the ex Cabinet Chief considered that the Kirchner couple did not have the chance to win the 2011 presidential election.
El Pais reports that according to cables, another former Cabinet Chief Alberto Fernández also blasted the Kirchners, although he was discrete.
He assured that Néstor Kirchner had a better competence reputation than his wife, but he could not win the 2011 presidential election, stated the cable according to El País.
Asked to comment on the cables the former Cabinet Chief Alberto Fernández, denied that he had had conversations with the current US Ambassador to Argentina, Vilma Martínez, but did not reject the documents released by WikiLeaks organization and published by the Spanish newspaper, El País.
What they published are public declarations; those are not things I went to the embassy to say Fernández assured.
According to the cable, Fernández blasted the Kirchner, although he was discrete. He assured that Néstor Kirchner had a better competence reputation than his wife, but he could not win the 2011 presidential election. (BAH).-

An odd claim was made in Kuharsky's mailbag yesterday by Ralph from San Diego,
"Do you see any teams in the AFC South making a play for ILB Stephen Cooper from the Chargers? Given the fact that Peyton Manning owns that division, and [Cooper] seems to own Peyton in the battle of wits game, I see him being a major player for the South. Your thoughts?"
The Colts haven't had the most success against the Chargers in recent years, but Cooper owning Manning is a pretty extreme claim. Cooper is an 8 year vet, but didn't become a regular starter until 4 years ago. In those four years he started all 5 of the Colts-Chargers matchups. Cooper's statistics in those matchups aren't particularly impressive. Lots of tackles but only 1 INT, 1 FF, 4 passes defensed with no sacks in 5 games.
A ILB is a lot more than just their numbers though and the question referred specifically to a battle of wits. Was Peyton held in check by the Chargers defense in the 5 games with Cooper in the starting lineup?
Manning in last 5 games against SD: 155 for 238 (65.1% comp), 1580 yards, 10.2 y/c, 6.6 y/a, 10 TDs, 13 INTs
The INTs are the number that really jumps out, but the 238 attempts should as well, that's an average of 47.6 attempts per game. Piles of attempts with efficiency numbers remaining strong, but a lot of picks points not to Peyton being shut down, but being overtaxed. The Chargers averaged 28 points per game in those meetings and never scored less than 20.
Addtionally a sample of just 5 games is far from ideal, almost everyone knows better than to crown or write off teams in week 6. In a sample of just 5 games outliers can make for a big difference. Pairing Peyton's worst two games gives you 4 TDs to 10 INTs leaving 7 TDs to 2 INTs in the remaining 3 games.
There doesn't appear to be any reason to attribute Peyton's worse than usual performance in the past 5 matchups with the Chargers to Cooper specifically rather than the Chargers simply being one of the strongest teams in the league, offensively and defensively the past 4 years or simply a fluke of the small sample.

Thoughtful Reactions Pair Programming
How to engage "lone wolves?"
Lone wolves can be a problem. Perhaps lone wolves ARE a problem. They might be incompatible with other team aspects of XP, such as team design, coding standards, etc etc.
There have to be more guidelines for this. Sometimes a module is too small for two people and one person can better handle it.
This sounds like an objection from someone who hasn't done much
. It's not like two people programming, it's like one very smart person programming. There's room in a single method for two people ... and certainly in a single module.
Also, using a fairly thorough design/code review regimen, you can make sure no one gets away with shoddy work.
Yes, you can get that effect with reviews.
isn't about discovering shoddy work, it's about producing quality work faster.
does prevent flawed work: it is far better than reviews due to faster feedback and more effective use of people time.
We sometimes refer to pair programming as "RealTimeCodeReview
". The give and take between a pair about how to approach a problem tends to be much more effective and efficient than the inquisitorial-style formal code review. By the time you get to formal code review, the original developer's investment in the original solution creates a lot of friction, even when the review process is working fairly well. --
Finally, if you're working on a time-critical piece, sometimes you have to get it done and a inexperienced partner slows you down.
I've never seen this happen. The least experienced partner on the team always makes my work better. It's humbling and empowering at the same time.
The concept of pair programming is not universally applicable.
It definitely does not apply to singleton programmers. It has been used effectively with programmers not in the same location, so geographic disperson isn't enough to knock it out. In what other situations might it be literally inapplicable?
Could you explain how you pair program when geographically separated a little more?
(Perhaps on
, which needs elaboration.)
I've found that I always build better software when I have someone else there, even if the other person doesn't write software. Just having someone there to talk to while I code helps me to understand the problem better. Some of the best code I've ever written was created when I was working at the keyboard with another developer. --
We used to think that the primary benefit of pair programming was that it helped us add people to the team quickly by bringing them up to speed and helping them understand our approach. One senior person paired with one junior person was ideal, and if we couldn't achieve that we were losing some benefit. We now believe that pair programming is MOST effective when we can pair really senior people together -- they experience a quantum jump in efficiency, clarity, and quality. And, as a nice byproduct, they really enjoy the experience.
We have observed that there is risk in pairing two newbies, because they can reinforce bad thinking and encourage each others' bad habits. Have you ever heard the Car Talk guys discuss whether two people who don't know what they're talking about know more or less than one person? <g> --
During interviews, we are keenly interested in what candidates have personally accomplished.
I'm quite sure that pair programming doesn't preclude personal accomplishment, or measuring it, although I'm not quite sure how to argue that point.
But perhaps it's more important to be concerned about contributions to a team than about personal accomplishment. After all, that's your goal: for your project teams to succeed. You are focusing on one particular way to achieve that (looking for employees with stong records of individual accomplishment). Focus on the goal, not the means. Consider that there may be other paths to the same goal.
(As a pathological example,
tells a great story about a woman who didn't contribute anything particularly visible or noteworthy to her projects, and the project managers were considering firing her. Until
pointed out that
every team she had ever been on succeeded
(in an organization that had a lot of project failures). They concluded that she made some important but intangible contributions to the cohesion and viability of her teams. You decide: was she a valuable employee?)
The original objection, that pair programming makes it hard to tell individual accomplishment during interviews, can be turned on its head. I've talked to some XP folks who now interview new people by bringing them in for an afternoon and having them pair with a couple people on the team. They work directly on production code, and by the end of the day they know much more about a person's skills and personality then they could ever learn from an interview. --
Weak teammates can require lots of hand-holding ...
As mentioned above, pair programming can be one of the fastest and most effective ways to rapidly turn a weak team member into a much stronger one.
If they are a hopelessly, permanently weak teammate, then that's a personnel problem that no methodology can fix. And if you aren't sure, pair programming is a very fast way to find out.
... and their lack of contributions can be hidden by pairing.
This might be true if people worked in the same pairs all the time, but XP recommends constant flux in pairings (often more than once a day). If someone is weak and doesn't contribute, doesn't learn, doesn't improve --- soon the whole team will be aware of this.
seems to suggest that you switch partners often, while
are intended to be 1 - 3 weeks in development duration. This appears to require that you will also switch between
several times a day. How do you prevent loss of continuity? Or do you find less need for continuity in an XP approach?
The tests give you much of the continuity. You can read them to see how far you've gotten. I write
's on an
while I'm in the middle of a task. --
Alternately, pairs can be assigned to work on
s rather than
s tend to be short (on a scale of hours), and thus are more amenable to switching like this. --

Obama signs bill to end partial shutdown, hike debt ceiling
By Holly Yan, Tom Cohen and Greg Botelho CNN | 10/17/2013, 6:16 p.m.
(CNN) -- After all the bickering and grandstanding, the billions lost and trust squandered, it was much ado about nothing.
The partial government shutdown's finally over. The debt ceiling debacle has been averted. Obamacare remains virtually unscathed.
The hardline House Republicans, whose opposition to the President's signature healthcare law set this all in motion, got pretty much zip -- except maybe their reputations marred.
"To say we as Republicans left a lot on the table would be one of the biggest understatements in American political history," Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina tweeted.
But it's all temporary -- the cliched kicking of the can. In a few months, Congress will come back to fight the same battles.
For now, though, thousands of furloughed federal workers will return to work Thursday, the U.S. can pay its bills, and an economic superpower can again boast a functioning government.
Pundits will conduct a post-mortem of the bitter stalemate. And the public will look ahead to what's next.
Last-minute save
Everything came together Wednesday on a frenzied night of deadline deals. Lawmakers toiled through the night, coming precariously close to hitting the midnight debt ceiling deadline.
The Senate brokered a bill to end the 16-day-long shutdown and raise the debt limit. The GOP-led House passed it. And early Thursday morning, President Barack Obama signed it into law.
But it wasn't Republicans who made it happen; a majority of that party's caucus actually voted against the measure. The bill passed 285-144, with overwhelming Democratic support and the approval of about 80 House Republicans.
Had Congress not approved a debt limit increase, the government would have started running out of money to pay its bills. Social Security checks and veterans' benefits could have stopped. The markets could have gone into a tailspin.
And now that Congress has approved a temporary spending plan, the government can re-emerge from its partial shutdown. More than 800,000 furloughed employees can start coming back to work. More than 1 million others who've been working without pay will see paychecks again.
Federal workers should expect to return to work Thursday morning, the Office of Management and Budget said.
A temporary bandage
The country will now be funded through January 15, and the debt cushion has been extended through February 7.
But there are clues the country will go through this mess again.
The bill that passed Wednesday night doesn't address many of the contentious and complicated issues that continue to divide Democrats and Republicans, such as changes to entitlement programs to tax reform.
"We think that we'll be back here in January debating the same issues," John Chambers, managing director of Standard and Poor's rating service, told CNN on Wednesday night. "This is, I fear, a permanent feature of our budgetary process."
For what it's worth, the heads of the Senate and House budget committees -- Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington and GOP Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin -- will meet Thursday to try to tackle these budget divides. They'll head budget negotiations intended to come up with a broader spending plan for the rest of fiscal year 2014, which ends on September 30.

I'm not gonna lie. I am probably one of the most
spoiled blessed women I know. I have lived in homes where the laundry room was too tiny to do more than turn around in there with a basket, to ones where there was no laundry room, at all. (Picture, a five-gallon diaper pail filled with bleach water and dirty cloth diapers, on the way to the laundromat. It was the best, most rational reason I know, for switching to disposables! 🙂 ) So, I have certainly been at the other end of the spectrum and no one is more painfully aware of just how amazing my current laundry room is. It's HUGE!
There's not only room for my washer and dryer, but a five-foot folding table and a shelf with hang bar, for hanging clothes above it. There's a beautiful, large and extraordinarily deep wash basin sink, as well as a shower and toilet. It gets natural light and fresh air from the window and when it's too hot for the window to be opened, this beautiful laundry room is air conditioned! I also have tons of beautiful cabinetry and storage space in there.
Ya know what? I still HATE laundry. — lol — Don't get me wrong, I understand how blessed I am to have people in my life who happen to get lots and lots of clothes dirty and how blessed we are to have the clothes we need. I get it, and appreciate that, but on a scale of 1 to 10, laundry is still probably at about a negative 11 on my list of favorite household chores. They can't all be #1, right? I think part of the reason I dislike it so much is I am someone who likes to do a job or project all the way through without stopping. If I start it, I want to get it done and see the results. Laundry has stages — the sorting, the washing, the drying, the folding and hanging, and then finally the putting away. And frankly, by the time the final stage is reached, my many "blessings" can produce a whole new pile of laundry I need to get started on. As you can imagine, then, I'm no shrinking violet when it comes to asserting which products and procedures work for me, in this job. I'm picky and I tell it like it is. I'm not going to use anything that takes longer, costs more or is inefficient, causing me to have to re-do any part of the process. So, I'm excited that my Switch and Save Challenge for the next four weeks is Arm and Hammer Power Gel with OxiClean.
Arm and Hammer Power Gel with OxiClean is more than just a detergent, it can also be used as a pre-treater. A product that can do more than one job is always a plus and a money saver! It has the added power of Arm and Hammer Baking Soda for freshening laundry and the most amazing gel texture. I've never seen any other laundry detergent made in such a thick, gel formula. It's a glossy, brilliant blue liquid/gel that is designed to work even in my high efficiency machine. The gel clings to and saturates fabrics, working hard to remove tough stains with its OxiClean boost and then rinses away cleanly.
The timing for this Switch and Save Challenge couldn't be better, as I have a brand new laundry challenge in my home, this summer.
Stay tuned as I put Arm and Hammer Power Gel with OxiClean through its paces, decrusting and removing stains from the horrifying laundry our resident detasseler brings home, every afternoon, now. 🙂 It's going to be a valiant battle and from what I can tell, so far, Arm and Hammer Power Gel should be an excellent
weapon tool!
This is a sponsored post for Church & Dwight Co., Inc, the maker of ARM & HAMMER branded products, who is compensating me to try different products. Save $1.00 on any 2 ARM & HAMMER Laundry Detergents. And be sure and head over to The Switch & Save Challenge for the chance to win $25,000.

nope not deep and meaning ful here either. I have just moved the sheep down the laneway and into the holding paddock overnight. Shearing tomorrow - so Gwamma is gonna be goffer !!!!!!
morning all - I hope that everyone is in fine fettle this morning.
Huge day for Gwamma today + I need to get ready for the big trip away !!!!
We are off to Haast tomorrow for the Easter weekend. If I can get my little notebooky thing going - I will annoy you all weekend - if not - you can all breathe a sign of relief and enjoy a quiet weekend !!!!!
Anyhoo I will back later.........................
Have a GREAT weekend, G.
Sounds nice Gwamma.
Still trying to decide if I want to go to Tga for the weekend or not.....its a long way with 2 kids by myself. My mother is quite keen for us to make the trip because after we move it won't be so easy.
Another quiet day at work. Maybe I ought to wag and go shopping?
Have an awesome weekend G. I am prob staying home as i have the kids and the exhubby is back in town for the weekend with nothing better to do than hassle us so i will have my back against the wall. ugh. LL i'd wag and go shopping. In fact i am about to wag and go exercise here as it is the start of the pay week and a very nice day out. 30 mins to go and counting.
On the exercise front, i am working on body weight stuff to add into what i already do. 20 pushups before each meal while i wait for my book to arrive. I have got body by you

i am also gonna sneak into the school playground after school and check out the bars. see if any of them as good for chin ups. i think too they have a pole LOL
thanx guys - it should be fun - as long as I don't get a whiff of petrol - then I will be a wee sick puppy like the Kaikoura fishing trip !!!!!!!!!
Shearing going well - just popped in for a wee drink of water.
I walked the horses down to the neighbours back pine block earlier. I felt like a real horse woman. My horse is 16 hands and DDs is 15 hands 2 - or something like that. Anyway they walked along on the lead nicely and then galloped off once I took their halters off. What a gorgeous site.................
I have put another batch of bread into the oven. This time with a LSA, potato flour, walnut, macadamia, almond slither sunflower coconut concoction !!!!!! Honestly the best biscotti EVER !!!!!!! I just need to work out what flours I can use - that are primal.

Seas I can't find those gloves anywhere - But I will keep looking !!!!!!!
nw G. if the bulk of paleo recipe sites are to be believed, we can now have white rice so that means rice flour is paleo. which means i can make bread which is paleo LOL. basically, it "should" be ground up something that isnt a grain. so a root, a seed or a nut. my other huge tip is measure exactly each experiment as it is very frustrating to nail it and then not remember exactly what you did as you were drinking whisky out the jar or otherwise distracted riding the horse around the house whilst baking!
i love the way horses move. some have the most amazingly flowing movement and some, like our little pony, sort of bump up and down. they are all still beautiful. i also love that horse smell. i sniff all over our's head when i go see her as she always smells so divine. and so far, i have never seen horse perfume for sale.

Holy Cross Germantown Hospital provides expert care for complicated pregnancies like Desma's.
Read Her STORY
26 Years of Service and Counting
I was hired by Holy Cross Hospital in December 1962. I was at the hospital the day it opened on January 10,1963. We held an open house for the community, and the newly hired nurses helped put pink bedspreads on each bed.
Initially, I was hired as a part-time staff nurse. I helped teach a nurse refresher course to new nurses. Later, I was asked to supervise the Emergency Room and Outpatient Clinics. In those days, the ER was small and very busy. I loved my role of head nurse. After the Vietnam War ended, I hired men who had been medics during that conflict. They were employed as ER technicians and they were a great help.
In the mid 70s, there was an opening on the 3-11 p.m. shift for an assistant director of nursing. By then, my children were in school and it was a proper time for me to make the change. The hospital offered me additional training and I was thankful for it. I learned how to read an EKG and to recognize potentially lethal arrhythmias. A few years later, the same position opened on the day shift covering the Critical Care Units.
Soon after, Sister Jean Louise became the administrator in 1979, and she asked me to think about starting a Patient Representative Program. I joined the local and national chapters for Patient Representatives and attended meetings and conventions. My primary role was to visit each new patient and assist with any difficulties and misunderstandings experienced by a patient or family member during their stay. I continued in this position until I retired in 1988. I moved away from the Maryland area and lived on the Outer Banks for six years, working as a staff nurse at the local medical center.
When I moved back to the Maryland area, I began volunteering in the Gift Shop, which I continue to do. In this role, I still see some staff that I worked with years ago.

DEC. 5, 1978, was the day the Phillies won the 1979 National League pennant at the winter meetings in Orlando. Free agent Pete Rose had just signed a 4-year, $3.2 million contract to play first base for manager Danny Ozark's already loaded team. "It's a stack of money so high a show dog couldn't jump over it," Pete grinned.
Dec. 16, 2009, was the day the Phillies won the 2010 NL pennant. The Phillies had just traded for Toronto uber-ace righthander Roy Halladay for minor league prospects Kyle Drabek, Michael Taylor and Travis d'Arnaud. Doc's deal was just a little better than the one GM Paul Owens gave to Rose. Halladay got $60 million for 3 years.
