If you have never been to Cairo be warned! The roads are crazy! A 3 lane motorway suddenly becomes 5 with a donkey and trap mixed up somewhere in between! Were there any driving laws? If so, did anyone obey them? I think I had one hand clinging to the seat and the other hand over my eyes….but needless to say we got to the hotel safely!
I awoke on my first morning at about 5.30am to the call to prayer. Having never been to a Middle Eastern country before I was totally mesmerised by the sound. I really felt like I was a million miles away from home. I couldn't go back to sleep with excitement of the day ahead – we were off the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum!
After a busy day in Cairo visiting the Pyramids and Museum we caught the overnight train to Luxor where we would join our cruise boat. The overnight train was comfortable, we had a nice supper and the seats folded down into beds. Each cabin was for 2 people but it had a door (with a lock) that could open to the next cabin if you had friends the other side – which we did. We all went to the bar on the train for a quick night cap and then we had a comfortable night's sleep and awoke at about 6am in Luxor for a very short transfer to the cruise boat.
After an amazing day taking a horse and carriage to Karnak Temple and exploring the bustling bazaars of Luxor we woke early the next morning for a donkey ride to the Valley of the Kings. What an experience! The Nile was so quiet and it appeared that we were the only ones up, taking a quick crossing to the west bank where we were met by our group of friendly donkeys. I was tired with the early start but I was sure this experience would wake me up – and boy, did it do just that! I don't think I have laughed so much in my life!! We travelled for 8 miles on 'donkey back'. It was as if the donkeys were all racing each other – some of them got angry if another over took….The whole journey was about an hour and we arrived at the Valley of the Kings with very sore bottoms!! But the early start and journey was worth it – we were the first group there! The temples were incredible and I could have spent so much longer taking in the markings and the stories behind each of them. By the time we left, the Valley of the Kings was beginning to heat up and the crowds were arriving in their masses on big coaches! Nothing like our experience…
The cabins were clean and a decent size, all with ensuite facilities. My highlight was opening up the curtains and realizing that the other side of the Nile was the Valley of the Kings – what a wonderful sight with the sun beginning to rise. For three days we sailed down the Nile, enjoying the wonderful company of the guests, staff and tour leaders and enjoying the FANTASTIC food and entertainment. We stopped at Kom Ombo and Edfu temples – both amazing experiences, each temple was different and each one told a unique story!
The final highlight was stopping in Aswan. I took an additional excursion which was a camel ride across the Sinai desert past the Simeon Monastery. It was incredible – the trip lasted about three hours. Every camel had its own guide so you felt safe. We saw Nubian villages in the distance and it really felt like we were off the beaten track, experiencing what I had imagined the real Egypt to be like…. I then spent the afternoon experiencing the beautiful city of Aswan.
The following day we awoke for a 3am start for a visit to Abu Simbel. We all got on the coach with our pillows for a 3 hour 'shut-eye' for the journey. Again, when we arrived, the early start was well worth it as we were the first there – the coffee shops hadn't even opened! But we were first through the door and the first to experience the amazing wonder of Abu Simbel in peace and quiet. We were back to the boat by lunchtime where we had an amazing lunch and the afternoon free to experience Aswan and get some last minute gifts, or just simply laze on the boat with a good book and taking a plunge in the dip pool!

Id love to know this too.
Those who are sensitive to cow casein - do you find the same is true for goat and sheep milk? Just curious because I really do miss dairy Plus goat cheese is my favorite XD
Id love to know this too.
I think it is different for everyone and you'll only know if you try it.
3 of my children were CMPI and had the same reaction to goats' and sheeps' milk products as cows'.
I'm OK with goats/sheeps dairy but not cow's. The higher the casein content of cow's dairy, the greater my reaction.
It's common to confuse casein intolerance with intolerance to yeast or mold in fermented dairy, or high histamine content. Therefore it's important to try different types of fresh and fermented. I have an intolerance to cow's casein, high yeast/mold content and am also histamine intolerant. It's believed that histamine intolerance is massively under-diagnosed.
I eat a lot of high-fat soft goat's cheese and goat's butter with no discernible reaction and can even tolerate goat's cheddar now and again.
F 5 ft 3. HW: 196 lbs. Primal SW (May 2011): 182 lbs (42% BF)... W June '12: 160 lbs (29% BF) (UK size 12, US size 8). GW: ~24% BF - have ditched the scales til I fit into a pair of UK size 10 bootcut jeans. Currently aligning towards 'The Perfect Health Diet' having swapped some fat for potatoes.
I've never had anything made with sheep milk, but I have no bad reaction to goat milk products at all. (Cow milk gives me gas and bad skin.)
I'm intolerant to cow's milk casein and tested the waters with both goat and sheep milk products. I reacted badly to goat but seem to tolerate sheep milk products ok. I need to try more varieties of the sheep's milk cheese to be sure. Damn, I miss cheese!
Anyway, it's definitely a personal thing. Test out both and see what happens!
BTW, I also tested out raw milk cheese. Didn't work...

About Soter Vineyards
Tony Soter made his name with Cabernet Sauvignon in California at Spottswoode, as well as with his own Etude label. But to show he was serious about Oregon Pinot Noir, he relocated to the Willamette Valley. The time and energy he's devoted to the vineyard is evident in his intensely fruity, layered Pinots that do not sacrifice balance or focus for power.

92 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May/June 2008
($48) Bright red. The gorgeous nose offers a vivid bouquet of wild strawberry, raspberry, cinnamon, allspice and fresh flowers. Fresh, spicy red fruit flavors offer terrific flavor impact but are light in body, with excellent lift and great focus. The spicy aspect gains power on the long, sappy finish. This reminded me of a wine from Domaine Dujac.

The Xlib Programming series is probably the best resource on
it; especially Volume 0 (X Protocol) and Volume
1 (Xlib programming). Volume 2, the reference for Xlib, might also

Case Paper welcomes the addition of Denise Garden, as the newest Customer Service Representative. Denise started her career in the paper industry in 1979 with Molten Paper and brings extensive experience in customer service, inventory control, and operations management. She has worked for Whiting-Patterson, Gould Paper, Wilcox Walter Furlong, Unisource, and Ariva before coming to Case Paper.
"In her first week, Denise demonstrated the value of her experience," said Debbie Oczkowksi, Customer Service Manager. "She is already an essential part of the Case team, and we are thrilled to have her on board."
A Philadelphian by birth, Denise is kept busy by a bevy of nieces and nephews. She's a die-hard Eagles fan, boasts of crabbing during the summer months at the Jersey shore, and claims to make restaurant quality Italian dishes when given the proper time to prepare.
As we celebrate our 70th anniversary, the hiring of Denise Garden is one of many exciting events at Case Paper, the leading merchant-converter of fine paper and board.

TRENTON (AP) -- Almost 50 years after her police-officer husband was slain, things are getting worse for Elizabeth Bernoskie. She's been ordered to pay $150,000 she does not have to the man once charged with the murder.
Charles Bernoskie, a police officer in Rahway with six young children, was shot to death while on duty in 1958.
It wasn't until 1999 when someone was charged with the murder.
The suspect, Robert Zarinsky, was already in prison for the 1969 murder of a 17-year-old Monmouth County girl and was a suspect in the killings of other teenage girls.
He was linked to the Bernoskie killing by his sister, Judith Zarinsky Sapsa, when she was caught stealing from his mutual fund. She told authorities that when she was 16, Zarinsky and a cousin said they had killed a police officer during a botched robbery.
The cousin, Theodore Schiffer, corroborated the story and admitted a role in the killing. He served three years in prison.
But a jury in 2001 acquitted Zarinsky. The foreman said they believed he did it, but that prosecutors did not build a strong enough case to prove it.
Elizabeth Bernoskie sued Zarinsky for wrongful death and in 2003, was awarded $9.5 million. Zarinsky posted his $150,000 mutual fund as a down payment.
But on Tuesday, a state appeal's panel ruled that because Zarinsky had already been acquitted, he should not have been allowed to be sued in civil court and that the $150,000 must be returned.
Bernoskie's lawyer said she does not have the money herself; she divided it among her children.
Now, Zarinsky can move to seize her assets, including the home where she lived with her husband.
"I don't know what I am going to do," a stunned Bernoskie told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Wednesday's newspapers. "It is so horrible. I don't know where to turn, who to talk to. I have to digest it, but I don't want to digest it."
Her lawyer told the paper the ruling was "diabolical."
"Everything is unraveled and undone," said the lawyer, Kenneth Javerbaum. "It is a cruel, torturous experience (Bernoskie) has had. It is probably giving (Zarinsky) enormous pleasure."
Even Clifford Kuhn, the lawyer for Zarinsky, said he has sympathy for Bernoskie.
"But the law is the law," he said.

Tornado touches down in Magdalena
Wild weather hits on Mother's Day
Severe weather ripped through New Mexico Sunday, including a tornado that touched down in Magdalena.
The tornado caused minor damage, but no injuries were reported. Police said it touched down for about five minutes about a mile and a half from New Mexico State Highway 107.
U local members Doc and Karolyn Rolston sent video of the twister in to Action 7 News.
Police Chief Larry Cearly said the damage was limited to a fence.
"We dodged a bullet here, and I believe everybody's safe, and everybody's thankful that we are," Cearly said.
The weather system that brought the tornado was also accompanied by rain and wind to other parts of the state. Marble-sized hair coated the roads near Corona and residents saw plenty of rain in Belen.

How to Treat the Flu and Cabin FeverAmy Kuras
It seems to be a little early this year, but the Sickie Season is upon us. Aside from some persistent sniffles, my family is doing OK, but swine flu has hit not too far from me and schools are closing because tons of kids are out with it. Based on my Facebook feed, lots of other people are battling the plain old seasonal flu, and it seems to be an especially nasty strain this year.
One of the keys to everybody staying healthy is for people to stay home when they are sick — and that doesn't mean "I'll keep the kids home from school and activities but let's just head out for a quick run to Target." It means nothing, nada, no visitors, no fun, just staying home and keeping your germs to yourself. Which sucks, especially when you're dealing with active little kids.
And every illness gets to that point where your kid is still sick enough to be contagious, but starting to feel better and get a little stir crazy. There is, after all, only so much Nick Jr. you can watch. Blogger Breezy Mama compiled a list of 10 things to do outside when your kid is at that in-between phase. All are short, fun activities that let you all get a little much needed fresh air while not being so strenuous or drawn-out that you could wear your kid out, setting off a relapse. Things like going for a walk around the block, making paper airplanes, or even going through a car wash provide on-the-mend children with a change of pace while not inflicting your germs on a bunch of new people. Check it out!

Don't say goodbye to the Entourage boys just yet. The rumor that they'll be back on the big screen happens to be true, the show's executive producer, Mark Wahlberg, tells PEOPLE.
Even before last week's finale aired and wrapped up eight years of adventures on HBO, there was loud chatter that the series would become a movie.
"It better happen," Wahlberg said over the weekend at Las Vegas's Palms Place Hotel and Spa. "We're working on [a movie] as we speak."
By ending the storyline on an upbeat note – Vinnie (Adrien Grenier) got married, Eric (Kevin Connolly) got back his bride-to-be, Drama (Kevin Dillon) got his series, Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) got his fortune, and Ari (Jeremy Piven) got his marriage back on track and a job offer to run a studio – Wahlberg says everything is "teed up for a movie."
So will Ari Gold opt to take the studio offer, or will he keep his word to his wife (Perrey Reeves) that they'll take a year off together? Reveals Wahlberg: "The dream job he got offered is too good to pass up."

You're not alone. As a matter of fact , I had the same problem just before I found something very helpful . Have you encountered Algebrator? If you have not heard anything about this wonderful piece of program yet, let me give you an idea about this software. This is a program that helps you to answer algebra problems and at the same time you could learn from it because it displays a detailed procedure of answering the problem. It really helped me in my woes in math and my grade significantly improved since I tried this. Be reminded that it does not only show the answer but it helps you learn how to solve the problem that makes it very educational.

Algebrator did help my son to have high grades in Algebra. Good thing we found this great program because I think it did not only help him to have high marks in his homeworks but also assisted him in his quizzes since the program helped in explaining the process of answering the problem by showing the solution.

Nokia Lumia 800
Originally reviewed by Edward Chester 26 October 2011
Nokia's first Windows Phone smartphone looks the part but does it play it?
Our Score:7
Windows Phone 7 is Microsoft's first serious attempt at taking on Apple and its iOS platform, used in the iPhone and iPod Touch. It launched in October 2010 and, as many hoped, wiped the slate clean for the Windows mobile series. Previous iterations such as Windows Mobile 6.5 and 6.1 were viewed by many as clunky, over-complicated systems that didn't work well with the small touchscreen displays used in most Windows smartphones. Conversely, Windows Phone 7 is perfectly tailored for today's capacitive touchscreens, and is very fast and easy to use. Unique features it boasts include full integration with the Xbox Live platform - some games on the platform allow you to collect Xbox Live achievement points, as you would with an Xbox 360 game - and the Live Tile-based UI. Windows Phone 7 also placed the strictest hardware guidelines seen in any current-gen smartphone platform. All Windows Phone 7 devices have to have a 1GHz processor, 5-megapixel camera and large capacitive touchscreen - or better. Like the iPhone series, Windows Phones do not support expandable memory, so the internal memory of a phone matters much more here than it would with an Android device. All feature a minimum of 8GB. Top Windows Phone 7 picks available in the UK include the HTC HD7, the LG Optimus 7 and HTC 7 Trophy.

The HTC Mozart is a slick and stylish smartphone that runs Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 operating system. The handset also packs in a speedy processor and an 8-megapixel camera that can shoot 720p HD video. However, its quite pricey and the Window Phone 7 OS currently lacks support for cut and paste and multitasking.

Thanks to a neat design and relatively low cost, this is definitely one of the choice Windows Phone 7 handsets out there. However, we're still not entirely convinced that Windows Phone 7 is in fact the best choice of mobile OS, so it's not a phone we'd out and out recommend. We recommend reading our in-depth look at Windows Phone 7 so you can see for yourself whether it's for you.

There is no denying the Optimus 7 is an extremely polished handset and its implementation of DLNA is far and away its killer feature. On the flip side the camera is a disappointment and you'll need to buy in the knowledge that however slick Windows Phone 7 is it remains painfully short of core functionality at present. Vodafone price plans do make this easier to swallow, so if you've decided Microsoft's new OS is for you check the DNLA status of your existing gadgets and dive in. The water's great.

The Samsung Omnia 7 is mostly a very nice handset. It's largely glass and metal construction looks good and feels sturdy, while it packs in plenty of features and has a stunning screen for viewing video and playing games. However, the hardware lacks a certain something in design and is incredibly slippery. Moreover, while Windows Phone 7 is a slick operating system that will feel like a nice upgrade for users used to normal phones, for those used to the full gamut of capabilities available on alternative smartphones, it will feel too limiting.

With its fast processor, good screen and slick OS, the Pro 7 has a lot going for it. However, it's the physical keyboard that differentiates it from other handsets and unfortunately it's just not as good as it should be.

The Dell Venue Pro is a pretty good Windows Phone handset. It's fast, easy to use and the slide-out keyboard is responsive too. However, we can't help feeling that it's just a bit too large to be truly comfortable to use, and the screen and battery life could be better.

The HD7 is one of the better looking large screen smartphones and feels speedy to use. We also like the modern looking and straight forward Windows Phone OS. However, the phone feels a bit like a missed opportunity, because what could have been a great entertainment device, is hampered by its disappointing screen and below par battery life.

BAY CITY, MI — Local hunters with their sights on landing a prize buck are busy preparing for the opening day of firearm deer season.
Glenn Duncan, owner of Duncans Outdoor Shop in Bay City, said that the full-service gun shop has been busy since September's early youth hunt, with a surge of hunters visiting the store in the final days leading up to firearm season.
"This is a very busy time of year for us with the different seasons," Duncan said. "A lot of hunters are stopping in to get their gun sighted, which is important to do before every big hunt."
The firearm deer season opens statewide Thursday, Nov. 15 — a date highlighted on the calendars of hunters.
Todd Trask of Monitor Township prepared for the season by purchasing a 12-gauge shotgun at Duncan's on Tuesday. Trask, a longtime hunter, said that patience is an important skill for marksmen.
"I haven't shot the big buck of my life yet, but this is the year," Trask, who harvested a doe during this year's archery season, said. "I like to get out on the weekends when I have some time."
Rifle range manager Mark Lamb said that lines of customers have formed to get their guns sighted in the past several days. Two hundred and eighty people had guns sighted on Monday, with the shop recently averaging 80-180 gun sightings each day.
Duncan's Outdoor Shop has four indoor rifle ranges: two 70-yard ranges, one 100-yard range and a 200-yard range. Cameras show a close-up view of the bullet holes
"Once shooters hold a consistant group on the target, I make adjustments to sight center," Lamb said. "Most people's equipment isn't too far off, but sometimes you need a little adjustment."
Duncan said that sometimes it is the hunters — not the guns — that improve more after the weapon is sighted.
"The scope might need to be worked up and down, but a lot of time is actually spent getting people who are nervous to settle down," Duncan said. "To have the best shot on opening day people need to be used to the gun, used to the recoil and able to comfortably make shots with correct follow-through."
Dan Wieland of Essexville visited the shop, 501 Salzburg, on Tuesday with his son, 16-year-old Brady Wieland, to ready their guns for opening day. The two plan to spend Thursday hunting together in Bay County.
"Depending on if we get a deer, we could have a full day and hunt until dark on Thursday," Dan Wieland said. "It's pretty exciting."
Brady Wieland, who has experience duck hunting, is ready to take his first deer.
"He's a rookie," Dan Wieland said. "He doesn't know what buck fever is yet."
Hunters killed 214,070 deer during the 2011 firearm deer season — down from 2010, when they killed 220,303 deer.
Bay County's deer population has not been hit as hard by Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease as Michigan's southern counties, which saw a spike in the viral deer disease this year due to warm temperatures.

Coming Monday, this week's salute to local veterans...
BAZETTA Thomas Palmer Jr., 87, and his buddies said if they ever got shot down or had to bail their B-24s, they'd never leave the airplane but ride down with it.
He said those were things the crew often considered if under attack because they heard the enemy was so brutal and had an unfair advantage.
The World War II veteran said he remembers the day that happened to one of his friends. He kept his word and stayed with the plane. And though there were times Palmer came close to having to make the decision to bail or stay, it always seemed like a catch-22.
Palmer was lucky enough to escape the war without harm, regardless of the many combat missions, but he wasn't fortunate enough to say he never had to think on his feet back to that conversation with his friends.
Palmer enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps on Oct. 13, 1943, at the age of 17. Though they wouldn't accept him until he was 18, he entered into active service on Jan. 16, 1944.
"I felt it was my duty to get in the service. I never regretted it," he said.

"A bad hill"
View North
Ordway had little to say about the day's events on May 28, except that "towards evening we descended a bad hill down on a creek, followed it down Some distance and arived at a village where we camped." It is believed that they followed a route down the ridge at left of Deer Creek, and that the village was somewhere above the Salmon River (bottom of photo). Apparently the the salmon had not yet arrived in this part of the river.

FAU's Clarence Brooks Wins Randolph A. Frank Prize for the Performing Arts
BOCA RATON (June 1, 2010) – Clarence Brooks, director of dance and assistant professor in the department of theatre and dance in FAU's Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, was recently awarded the t he Randolph A. Frank Prize for the Performing Arts. Brooks was one of three recipients of the prize, which recognizes commitment, dedication and inspired work in the performing arts in Palm Beach County. Brooks received the award because of the innovative programs he has established at FAU over the last four years. He received a crystal trophy and a cash prize.
Brooks has been a dance instructor, performer and choreographer in Palm Beach County for 12 years and associated with FAU for six years. During his time at FAU, he brought the Florida Dance Education Association annual conference and the nationally-recognized Bill Evans Dance Company to the university.
Brooks' performing career began in 1980. He has been associated with companies as widely diverse in style as Ballet Oklahoma; Laura Dean Musicians and Dancers; Nikolais/Murray Louis Dance; and the Charleston Ballet Theatre. His work as a dance instructor and choreographer began in the early 1980s with various academic institutions and companies, including the Spectrum Dance Theater in Seattle Washington, Columbia College in South Carolina and the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, to name a few. Upon Brooks' return to South Florida in 1998, Brooks was a ballet, modern and jazz dance instructor for three separate grade levels at Bak Middle School of the Arts. While with Bak, Brooks' efforts in making the schoolyard a safe space for children, specifically boys who were stereotyped for pursuing dance and then subsequently bullied, resulted in the Palm Beach County's school district harassment and discrimination policy being one of the most inclusive in the state.
For more information about FAU's dance program, call 561-297-0266.

The week was filled with upsets and last-second thrillers, causing a pretty big shake-up in the rankings.
Three different teams received votes for No. 1, and overall 41 teams received at least one vote.
Read on to see the complete Top 25.

A terrific and troubling interview with a truly great chef and Philadelphia restaurateur Georges Perrier who has been the frequent target of animal rights protesters who, want him to stop serving foie gra.
The following is excerpted from the interview wherein GP (Georges Perrier) asks TB (The Evening Bulletin) when will the hunger of the the animal rights protesters be sated.
GP: Here's the problem: Today it is foie gras, but tomorrow it can be something else.
TB: It opens the door to ban more things ... like Whole Foods banning lobsters and crabs because it's "inhumane" - whatever that means.
GP: Where does it end? Everything can be called "cruelty." Where does it end?
A Hunger Artist butts in: Chef, this is exactly the point. It will never end for the most active people in the campaign against the production of foie gras because their goal is the elimination of animal suffering by human activity. So this is going to be a long fight. Once they stop the production and sale of foie gras, they will target some other farmed animal product. Of course they will go after "factory farmed" products first. But soon they will target "cruelty free products" because many of them believe that no matter how well you treat an animal while you are raising it, the very act of killing is cruel and unnecessary, while others believe that all animals should be left to live their lives unimpeded by human interference.
Once all the farmed animal products are eliminated then they will go after wild animal products. By this point veganism will have become part of the primary cultural gestalt and so will be a driving force behind the inspiration and codification of all manner of legislation.
Hunting, fishing and animal farms will be illegal. Books and movies that glorify or romanticize hunting and animal farming will be the targets of boycotts, censorship and in extreme cases where animal suffering is truly horrendous -such Hemingway's The Old Man and The Sea- banned outright.
Drug testing on animals who aren't sick? Fahgedaboutit.
Pet cats will be illegal because they maim and kill and anyone who owns one will be prosecuted for promoting unnecessary suffering of wild animals by proxy. Or at the very least, there will be a law that requires all house cats to be declawed and fed a cruelty free vegan diet or a diet supplemented by animal products derived from the corpses of animals that died from natural causes.
Pet dogs too will be doggone and the term dog bone will have a completely different meaning.
Uhm...what did I forget? Mandatory health insurance legislation for pets, fine and minimum sentencing guidelines for pet owners who neglect to take their pets for regular check ups? Human stool test kits for vigilant parents who want to screen their kids for illicit meat consumption?
In the end, it doesn't end chef. Not if you give free reign to your imagination and recognize that the animal rights folks who are giving you such a hard time about duck liver are really trying to reconfigure the food web to conform to they way they think it should be. It'll be interesting to see how it really shakes out.

You may feel especially hopeful about the future today. Your optimism may be strong, and this could be contributing to positive expectations about your plans, as well as encouraging you to consider more effective ways to reach your goals. These optimistic feelings are the key ingredient to your success, because the positive energy you exude will help attract more opportunities for growth. A great way to enhance this process is to consciously focus your thoughts in an optimistic, positive way today. If negative thoughts or doubts come in, you can purposely replace them with positive ones. This will cancel negative thoughts and get you into the habit of consistently maintaining an optimistic outlook. You might also try visualizing positive thoughts as the fuel that powers your goals. This can help you to stay motivated and purposeful about your actions.
Consciously choosing to remain optimistic about our goals fuels our intentions with power and stamina. While it is easy to feel positive about our goals when we are making progress, we might lose our optimism when challenges arise. Instead of letting negative thoughts erode our determination, we can choose to keep our optimistic outlook and add more power to our intentions. By choosing to keep our thoughts focused in a positive direction regardless of the challenges facing us, we create a positive forward momentum that can propel us through any obstacles with ease. Think positive thoughts today, and you will provide yourself with powerful sustenance for the achievement of your goals.

Talk about a strange New Year's resolution.
Kirstie Alley said she's going to start dating "butt-ugly men" on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing Friday.
When asked about her dating life by Ellen, Alley, 60, admitted she usually goes for "psychos" and "players," so the host suggested she try going with the opposite of what she's attracted to.
"I'm thinking ugly men might be the solution,"
the Dancing with the Stars alum responded. "I'm talking about butt ugly. Because I go for really handsome men and I think butt ugly would be appreciative."
Alley, who's twice divorced, recently told PEOPLE she's looking for love. What else would she like for her upcoming 61st birthday?
"I want an Aston Martin and a tattoo," she said.
While DeGeneres didn't get the actress a new car, she did help her out with some new ink. The host, who had a tattoo artist waiting backstage, joked that they would play a game to determine Alley's tat. If she lost, the star would have to get a tattoo of DeGeneres.
Luckily, Alley won and was inked with the initials of her two children.

A wildfire burning in a Bay Area wilderness park grew Monday, forcing more people to leave their homes and leading to a smoke advisory for area residents (Sept. 9, 2013).
The blaze in Mount Diablo State Park in Contra Costa County spread to 3,718 acres or nearly 6 square miles Monday afternoon, more than double the 1,500 acres reported in the morning, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Sept. 9, 2013).
It was 20 percent contained as of Monday night (Sept. 9, 2013).
Officials said hot temperatures and wind gusts fueled the fire's spread (Sept. 9, 2013).
Officials ordered the evacuation of 25 homes Monday morning, bringing the total to about 100 (Sept. 9, 2013).
At one point, the fire threatened electrical transmission lines, communications infrastructure, and a historic lookout and visitor center at the top of the 3,848-foot Mount Diablo. The Summit Museum was constructed in the 1930s of sandstone from the park (Sept. 9, 2013).
The blaze broke out Sunday amid nearly triple-digit temperatures in the early afternoon. The cause was under investigation (Sept. 9, 2013).
The fire spewed a plume of smoke visible for miles. It was burning in steep, rugged terrain near Clayton, a town of about 11,000 people northeast of San Francisco, alongside the park (Sept. 9, 2013).
The blaze in Mt. Diablo State Park in Contra Costa County has burned 1,500 acres as of Monday morning, up from about 800 acres the previous day when it broke out.

By Robert J. Duffy
When people hear Peace Bridge, different thoughts come to mind. Some people think of traveling to Canada, some people think of the traffic, some think of the new bridge that was discussed for years but never materialized.
I think of all of the above plus I see a lost opportunity for Western New York to grow and a lesson to be learned.
I am a lifelong resident of upstate. It seems to me I have heard new plans for the Peace Bridge discussed all of my adult life: talk with little action while more people left the region and Buffalo got smaller. Any major bridge improvement could have been a real economic boost for the entire region.
How did we lose the opportunity? Everyone points fingers. Some blame the Peace Bridge Authority, others blame the New York politicians and some say it was the controversy over a signature bridge.
All I know is that it was a terrible lost opportunity that cannot happen again. We see the economic potential of a major project in New York at the Tappan Zee Bridge – a $4 billion project energizing an entire region and moving forward in just one year from announcement.
And therein lies the current dispute at the Peace Bridge Authority.
The New York representatives want to immediately initiate a redesign of the Buffalo plaza to improve traffic flow, reduce pollution and route traffic around Front Park and the surrounding neighborhood instead of through it. They believe a plaza redesign should be fast-tracked – not at the back of the list after other Peace Bridge projects. By the Peace Bridge Authority's current plans, it will be eight years before the plaza redesign is complete. That is unacceptable. Western New York cannot afford continued delay.
It is not a question of "getting along nicely." We got along nicely for 20 years – and nothing got done. It is a question moving forward with the sense of urgency the situation requires. Buffalo has been hemorrhaging population and jobs. It must stop. The state has made an unprecedented commitment to turn Buffalo around. Our $1 billion pledge, SUNY 2020, the medical corridor, the waterfront redevelopment – there is more development taking place in Buffalo today than in decades. A world-class gateway on the New York side of the Peace Bridge must move forward with the same priority.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and I believe in the future of Western New York, and will not rest until the Peace Bridge is working for the people of Buffalo, as well as the people of Canada. If the Peace Bridge Authority is not capable of representing both interests, we are compelled to explore a better approach.
The elected representatives of Western New York are united in a virtually unprecedented bipartisan coalition to improve conditions for this region and Canada. Together.
Robert J. Duffy is lieutenant governor of New York State.

Raised and educated in Memphis, Clement was performing at an early age, playing guitar and Dobro; before embarking on his music career he served in the Marines.[1] In 1953, he made his first record for the Sheraton label in Boston, Massachusetts, but did not immediately pursue a full-time career in music, instead choosing to study at Memphis State University from 1953 to 1955. Nicknamed "Cowboy" Jack Clement, during his student days he played steel guitar with a local band. In 1956 became part of one of the seminal events in rock and roll history when he went to work as a producer and engineer for Sam Phillips at Sun Records. There, Clement worked with future stars such as Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash. But most importantly, he discovered and recorded Jerry Lee Lewis while Sam Phillips was away on a trip to Florida (one of those recordings, "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", was selected in 2005 for permanent preservation in the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress).
In 1957, Clement wrote the song "Ballad of a Teenage Queen", which became a crossover hit for Johnny Cash. Other Cash hits written by Clement included "Guess Things Happen That Way", which was #1 country and #11 pop in 1958, and the humorous "The One on the Right Is on the Left", which was a #2 country and #46 pop hit in 1966. He produced Cash's #1 hit "Ring of Fire" in 1963.[1] Clement performed "Guess Things Happen That Way" on the Johnny Cash Memorial Tribute show on CMT in November 2003.
In 1958 Clement released the single "Ten Years",[2] which was covered by Johnny Western (1959) Rex Allen (1962) and Roger Mews.
In 1959, Clement accepted an offer to work as a producer at RCA in Nashville, then the most important label in the industry. In 1961, he moved to Beaumont, Texas, joining producer and publisher Bill Hall in opening Gulf Coast Recording Studio and the Hall-Clement publishing company.[1] He returned to Nashville permanently in 1965, becoming a significant figure in the country music business, establishing a publishing business, and his own recording studio, making records for stars such as Charley Pride and Ray Stevens. In 1971, he co-founded the J-M-I Record Company.
Clement wrote a number of highly successful songs that have been recorded by singing stars such as Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Ray Charles, Carl Perkins, Bobby Bare, Elvis Presley, Jim Reeves, Jerry Lee Lewis, Cliff Richard ("It'll Be Me"), Charley Pride, Tom Jones, Dickey Lee and Hank Snow. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame[1] in 1973. He also produced albums by Townes Van Zandt and Waylon Jennings.
Clement was involved in a few film projects as a singer or songwriter on soundtracks, and he produced the 1975 horror film Dear Dead Delilah, the last film performance by actress Agnes Moorehead.
Later life[edit]
In 1987, Clement was approached by U2 to record at Sun Studio in Memphis. He had never heard of U2 but took the session based on the urging of someone else in his office. The result was a portion of the U2 album Rattle and Hum ("When Love Comes to Town", with BB King; "Angel of Harlem", a tribute to Billie Holiday; and "Love Rescue Me", with backing vocals by Bob Dylan), as well as the Woody Guthrie song "Jesus Christ", which was included on the 1988 album Folkways: A Vision Shared—A Tribute to Woody Guthrie & Leadbelly. Portions of the two sessions also appear in the film Rattle and Hum.
In 2005, a documentary about Clement, Shakespeare Was a Big George Jones Fan, was created by Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville, pieced together from Clement's home videos and interviews with peers, including Jerry Lee Lewis and Bono. Clement hosted a weekly program on Sirius XM Satellite Radio. Clement was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Music City Walk of Fame.
On June 25, 2011, a fire destroyed his home and studio on Belmont Boulevard in Nashville. Clement was unhurt, but many priceless recordings and memorabilia were lost. On April 10, 2013, it was announced Clement would be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.[1]
On August 8, 2013, Clement died at his home in Nashville, Tennessee. He had suffered from liver cancer.[3] He had two children, a daughter, Alison, also a singer and writer, and a son, Niles, an engineer and photographer.

Since my husband and I married I have gone through several sets of toenails. Sets may be a bit of an exaggeration, more like the same toenails over and over again. I've recently shed a big toenail; right before the trees began to drop their leaves. Another similarity to the autumn leaf is the color change. Leaves become beautiful shades of yellow, red and russet; toenails go black….
Dear Readers,
Several years ago I was privileged enough to attend a training on Bullying presented by Dr. Allan L. Beane. Dr. Beane has been one of our nation's leading experts on the topic for many years and having been exposed to his teachings I can vouch for his expertise.
The topic of bullying is so important that it may take more than one week for me to address it so in the upcoming weeks there will be more information provided. I hope that it helps you as parents to be more aware of whether your child is being bullied or if your child is the bully.
Since last year I've gotten three new podmates at work, all millennials (those born in the 1980s to the early 2000s).
One just turned 30, one just turned 27 and one, at 22, is younger than my favorite denim jacket that I still wear.
I call them my pod kids and they call me their pod mom.
Of the three, the 30-year-old was horrified to learn that she is a millennial. She had me watch a "Millennials in the Workplace" You Tube video that hilariously portrayed her generation as, among other things, always expecting a reward for doing their job.
I am not a liberal/progressive Democrat. I'm not a Republican. My party is the Watchmen Party. Read Ezekiel chapter 33 in the Bible.
It's not about what party you're in. If you are a godly man or woman, one day you will stand before the Lord Jesus and you will have to give an account of what you do or say. We need to put men or women in office/position who will stand up for our Christian faith.
As a matter of public policy, domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and bullying were seldom discussed for much of our country's history, much less adequately addressed.
Thankfully, that era is largely behind us. Today, society is much more aware of these acts of aggression and how to stop them, and as a result, we're seeing a greater number of victims get the care they deserve.
In many ways, Kentucky has been a leader among the states in this regard, and 2015 is poised to be remembered as a high-water mark in this journey.
Dear Readers,
The other morning I ate breakfast in the moonlight.
The temperature outdoors was several degrees cooler than the temperature indoors, so I took my bowl of Cinnamon Chex/Fiber One with unsweetened almond milk and my cup of coffee, opened the sliding glass door that separates the living room from the back screened-in porch and sat at the high-top tile table.
It was early — I'm a ridiculously early riser — and it was still dark out except for a sliver of a moon.
By REP. GREG STUMBO, Speaker

Winning a regional wrestling championship is gravy. But getting to the state tournament is the main entree.
Hollidaysburg senior 160-pounder Damian Lascoli and Altoona sophomore 112-pounder T.J. Brandt were both licking their chops for a Northwest AAA Regional Tournament championship Saturday night. Both settled for second place in the region after dropping their title matches, but both will take plenty of solace in knowing that they can start over again at next weekend's PIAA, Class AAA state tournament.
Brandt lost a 7-6 decision to Brashear junior Godwin Nyama in the regional title bout, while Lascoli was beaten, 6-2 by Bellefonte senior Brad Grieb in the 160-pound championship match.

Hollidaysburg's Damian Lascoli celebrates his semifinal win at 160 pounds, but he later lost in the final.
Brandt and Lascoli will both be making their second straight trips to the Class AAA state tournament, which takes place this Thursday through Saturday at Hershey's Giant Center.
They'll be joined at states by Philipsburg-Osceola junior Logan Walstrom, who took third place in the regional at 145.
"It would have been nice to come out of here with a championship, but ultimately, it's about advancing to the state tournament and seeing what happens down there,'' Hollidaysburg coach Mike Moore said.
Lascoli (29-9 this season) reached the finals by virtue of a heart-stopping 5-4 decision over District 10 champ Zack Towers of Meadville in Saturday afternoon's semifinal round. Lascoli won the semifinal match on a buzzer-beating takedown.
But he couldn't catch lightning in a bottle twice in the championship match against Grieb, who also defeated Lascoli, 5-3 in the District 6-AAA title bout last weekend.
Grieb scored takedowns in the first and third periods to win his regional final with Lascoli.
"He stayed in good position, and he did a good job,'' Lascoli said.
Lascoli came up with an electrifying takedown move in the semis to upend Towers, one of the pre-tournament favorites in the weight class.
"I lost to him in this regional, 6-3 last year, and it felt really good to come back and beat him,'' Lascoli said of Towers. "Winning that match, and knowing that I had a guaranteed spot at states, felt amazing."
Both Lascoli and Brandt went two-and-out at last year's state tournament at 152 and 103 pounds, respectively. The experience of having participated in last year's state tournament should benefit both next weekend.
"This year, I'm not going to make the same mistakes down there,'' Lascoli said.
Brandt lost in the regional championship bout for the second straight year.
On Saturday night, Brandt built a 4-1 first-period lead against the slick Nyama before the Brashear standout battled back to eventually win the match, 7-6 with a pair of third-period takedowns.
"I wrestled a good period, but I didn't wrestle a good match,'' Brandt said. "He's a good wrestler, and he's tough on his feet. He was just a little better than me today."
Brandt (31-4 this season) advanced to the championship round by scoring a 13-2 major decision over Erie McDowell sophomore Paul Deitz in the semifinals.
The championship match was a different story, however, as Brandt lost some steam after building his first-period lead.
"He quit being offensive, and a lot of times, when you quit being offensive, it opens up opportunities for your opponent,'' Gilbert said. "He had a little conditioning issue there [in the finals], and hopefully, we can straighten that out before the state tournament."
Gilbert expects big things of Brandt - a two-time District 6-AAA champ - next weekend at Hershey.
"I expect him to place in the top eight,'' Gilbert said. "He's capable of doing it, and we're setting the bar high."
Philipsburg-Osceola's Walstrom punched his ticket to Hershey by taking third place in the regional with an 8-3 decision over Punxsutawney junior Nathan McGregor in the 145-pound consolation finals.
Walstrom (29-12) hit a four-point move against McGregor late in the second period to break a 2-2 tie.
"He wrestled a lot closer to the vest than he might otherwise have needed to, because one mistake at that point in the tournament, and somebody can take advantage of you,'' P-O coach Tim McCamley said of Walstrom's effort in the consy final. "He wrestled a smart match, and I'm proud of what he's done, and where he's going."
That's Hershey, to be precise.
Walstrom bounced back from being pinned in Saturday's semifinal round by Erie Cathedral Prep's Tyler Parsons and won his next two bouts, including a 9-4 decision over General McLane's D.J. Myers in the consolation semifinals.
"I'm on cloud nine right now,'' Walstrom said after his state-qualifying finish. "I just tried to stay on the offensive. This is a tough tournament to get through."
Two other area wrestlers, Hollidaysburg freshman Damian Huff (103) and Philipsburg-Osceola junior Kenny Myers (135), made it to the consolation finals but lost there and fell one victory short of a trip to states.
Huff, who won three matches earlier in the wrestlebacks - including two Saturday - dropped a 9-0 major decision to General McLane freshman Joe Wheeling in the consy finals. Huff finished his season with a 26-13 record.
"Damian Huff had an outstanding tournament,'' Moore said. "He finished a strong fourth."
Myers dropped a 4-3 decision to DuBois freshman Tom Sleigh in the consy finals. Myers - who also won three matches in the wrestlebacks, including two on Saturday - took a 3-2 lead on a reversal with 55 seconds left, but Sleigh scored a winning reversal with 15 seconds left in the bout. Myers finished his season at 26-13.
Other area wrestlers eliminated earlier in Saturday's wrestlebacks were Altoona's Mante Barnes (189) and Braeden Luciano (285), Hollidaysburg's Larett Miller (171), and Philipsburg-Osceola's Bryan Descavich (103) and Luke Greenawalt (152).
Central Mountain won the team championship with 103 points, followed by Erie Cathedral Prep (89), Clearfield (89), and Westmont Hilltop (87).
Along with Bellefonte's Grieb (160), other Northwest AAA Regional champions from District 6 included Bellefonte's Tom Traxler (119), Westmont Hilltop's Tanner Hough (130) and Ryan Burnheimer (189), State College's Scott Bosak (140), Central Mountain's Brian Brill (145), Bald Eagle Area's Jacob Taylor (171), and Lewistown's Tyson Searer (215).

Sarah 'The Healthy Home Economist' has found another good one:
[url=http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/2011/08/doctors-warn-against-supermodels-coconut-oil-habit/]Doctors Warn Against Supermodel's Coconut Oil Habit[/url]
[QUOTE]Keith Ayoob, director of the nutrition clinic at the Children's Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, said the oil will not give you the body of a supermodel.
"I can't say I'd want people consuming lots of coconut oil. You should use it sparingly," Ayoob said.
"You want to cut back on saturated fats in your diet. I don't know what benefit it would have for weight management because it has just as many calories as any other fat."
Ah, the director of a nutrition clinic for children. Must know what he's talking about. :(

NAIROBI, KENYA - The Judah Care Center started out under the ministry of a church by the same name, according to Teresa Wangui.
Wangui said her husband, Simon Mukundi, is the "pastor and theological lecturer" and her son, Dennis, 24, and a recent university graduate, manages the sponsors' account and also serves as the church pianist and teaches math.
"All the little donations that we get he does proper accounting for," she said.

Children at the Judah Care Center, Nairobi, Kenya, Africa, are happy and healthy thanks to the efforts of Teresa Wangui, above right; her husband Pastor Simon Mukundi, left; and their son, Dennis, 24.
Wangui said she teaches the approximately 110 children between ages 7 and 17 years served at the school/home, about 40 of whom are in "extreme poverty" and tries to "ensure that daily operations are well run."
"I worship there and all the kids learn there with us. We teach the Gospel of Christ Jesus," she added.
Wangui and her husband also have three other sons, Kevin, 26; Milkah, 16; and Bill, 11.
She said the Judah Care Center started "to support street and slum children and provide for them a serene environment."
"Most kids would come to the church for the teaching about Jesus Christ and from the look of things, most of them were needy, so the church decided to provide breakfast for them and also lunch every Sunday," she said.
The children's need was more than just food, she added, it was "immense and enormous."
"We realized that giving the kids food wasn't enough and wasn't satisfying at all, we knew that more had to be done in the lives of these children," she added.
That immense need was demonstrated one day following a house fellowship in the "Mbotela" region of the city, which is known as a very poor part of the city.
Wangui said she and her husband had a "life changing moment that defined who we would end up to be and what we have been doing."
Around 6:30 p.m. as they headed home, "a young kid stopped us. He looked terrified and was panting, his skin had bruises and he kept nodding. We knew we had to do something," she said.
The boy, who was 5 at the time, was named Lukas and he now is turning 20, she said.
"His story made us break in tears. It was touching and we needed to help him. Both the parents had passed away, and his uncle forced Lukas to go to the streets of Nairobi and ask for money from people walking," she said.
Every day his uncle expected $200 shillings from Lukas as he would walk from Mbotela to town, a distance of about 3.1 miles.
"It would take a normal adult about one hour to walk. The days that he was not lucky he was in for a physical war from his always-drunk uncle," Wangui said.
The Kenyan system of laws was weak then and no action was being taken to punish such people, she said.
"We arranged with the police for Lukas to sleep at our house and the next day we took action against the uncle," she said.
"Lukas's first good home was in our house where we bought him new clothes and we made him feel at home," she added.
Wangui said her house is not big, so Lukas had to share a room with her two sons, Kevin and Dennis.
"Dennis loves kids and has shown been of great assistance to this ministry more than any person we can thank. Dennis loved Lukas and to this day Lukas sees Dennis as a big brother," she added.
The church decided to start helping more street kids, but due to insufficient funds it only could manage to support 10 kids in 2001.
"The church was able to rent a building where the kids would sleep and also acquired a few beds, and that marked the Genesis of Judah Care Children's home," she said.
Judah Care has grown from grace-to-grace, step-by-step and glory-to-glory to where it is now, Wangui added.
"We have managed to rescue and save many kids who were on the streets, homeless, orphaned and suffering from other conditions," she said.
"God calls the fatherless whose cries are echoing from time to time waiting for the church to hear, we are the hands and the feet of our Savior to those in distress," Wangui added.
"As Christians we must give ourselves to others, we must be Christ to a hurting world and live for the one that comes next."
These 40 don't have a family to support them.
"Most of them lost their parents through different circumstances. These are the students who depend on donations from well-wishers and the church as well, the remaining kids are from the nearby slum of Umoja and some are also dependent on the center while others pay to attend classes," she said.
The funds collected are used to support the children at the center but "it's never enough," Wangui said.
"At Judah, nine teachers are employed to educate the students. The teachers are on payroll and they come and go depending on the availability of funds," she said.
"It's really hard to maintain loyal teachers when you can't pay them enough."
Although the church is doing all things possible to get funds, it is not able to support the children as it wishes to, so it is seeking funding from friends.
The church has about 50 members, she said.
"I am looking for people who can stand with me and Judah Care Home to support these kids," she said.
The children are in need of stationary, clothing, food, health care, shoes, entertain
ment and education, some of the services provided by the church.
"Currently, the food and living environment is way below average," Wangui said.
Wangui said she reached out through social networking trying to find help.
"Pass it to your friends and let's save the kids of Judah Children home and we will be saving future generation. The vision that we have will enable us to save more children from the streets," she said.
Wangui and her husband have purchased land on which to build "a big school where we can provide the best life for these children, but the little support we get from the church is not enough to service our daily needs."
"We have about two people whom I met on Facebook who support our ministry regularly sending $55 dollars every month," she said.
"We publish the little shopping we do on Facebook and try to get more well wishers because it's really challenging for me and my husband to raise the money that is required," she said.
Wangui said the monthly cost for each child is about $90-$120 depending on their age, size and needs for that month.
"That's the average. We spend about $4,000 a month on all of the kids. We account for about $20,000 shillings for the teachers which is about $2,115," she said.
"Most of our teachers don't get paid on time and they end up leaving and that's one of our biggest challenges," Wangui said.
"Raising this money is the biggest challenge for this orphanage and most of the times the kids end up having a non-balanced diet if we cannot manage to raise what is needed," she said.
"We mitigate this by having a small garden at the back of the school and the kids do their agricultural activities there," she said.
