Sir.—The article "Paucifascicular Congenital Sensory Neuropathy in Identical Twins" by Croall et al1 was very informative and well written. We are learning that there are other variations of the classic four groups of congenital sensory neuropathies.2-4 We recently described a steroid-responsive pure sensory neuropathy.5 Only mixed motor and sensory congenital neuropathies have been successfully treated with steroids in the past.6 In a family of three, stocking/glove sensory neuropathy developed beginning in the third decade of life. A sural nerve biopsy specimen demonstrated vasculitis, and steroid treatment resulted in complete resolution of the neuropathy and its complications. We think that any clinician treating a congenital sensory neuropathy should be alerted that some forms may be steroid responsive and, therefore, treatable and that careful analysis of pathologic materials is essential to uncover a potentially treatable disease.

Two Newark men and a teenager held another person at gunpoint on Monday night and drove to Drew University where they looking for a woman at least one of them knew. They wanted money from her, authorities and campus officials said.
Fuquan Cromwell and James Grate, both 22, and a 16-year-old boy were arrested at about 8 p.m. Monday after police found them inside their black Honda Civic with a loaded 9 mm handgun in the parking lot behind the student center on the Madison campus, authorities said. Authorities would not say how the male captive ended up in the car or how any of the men knew the woman, who lives in an undergraduate dormitory.
However, according to an arrest affidavit, the suspects may not have know the male being held against his will called State Police from his cell phone, indicating to them that something was wrong.
So as two of the men went into the dorm to find the female student, police were already making their way to campus. After the men returned to the car, police approached and arrested them, Drew spokesman Dave Muha said.
In a campus-wide alert sent this morning, Thomas Evans, Drew's director of public safety said the suspects' primary motive appeared to be to obtain money. The female student knew one of the men in the car, Drew officials said. The unidentified woman was not charged.
Cromwell, Grate and the juvenile were charged with possession of a weapon on school grounds. The juvenile was also charged with possession of cocaine, according to the prosecutor's office.
The adults were sent to the county jail on $100,000 bail, set by Madison Municipal Court Judge Gary F. Troxell. The teenager was being held at the county juvenile detention center.

BERKELEY SPRINGS - Nestled in downtown Berkeley Springs is the charming Maria's Garden & Inn, which has a lengthy menu offering an array of food sure to entice even the pickiest eater's taste buds.
Located off Independence Street in the heart of the town, the restaurant has a casual, serene atmosphere.
Maria's is one of the area's first bed and breakfasts and Italian restaurants.

Shown above is one of Peg Perry's pasta dishes, spaghetti and homemade meatballs. The platter offers red sauce, which is simmered a day in advance. The dish is large enough to split between two people. (Journal photos by Marli D. Riggs )
On this particular day guests could seat themselves. I walked through the front dining area gazing at the madonnas hanging on the walls, admiring the holistic images to the back dining room, which offered a calming view of small garden area with the Virgin Mary and praying statues nearby on a stone rock wall.
Pink floral carpeting, mosaic artwork and the holistic images surround guests. Religious memorabilia of the Virgin Mary can be seen from the all over the world. Slow, soft instrumental music could be heard throughout the restaurant as I browsed the menu. A fountain could be heard near the opening of the airy dining room. The steady trickling throughout the sunny dining room has a comforting appeal. Coming with a Sunday appetite and a craving for everything homemade, I couldn't have chosen a better place.
Usually I'm an avid soda drinker in restaurants, the sweet tea seemed like a refreshing way to quench my thirst. The freshly brewed tea leaves were sweetened with the right amount of sugar.

The restaurant offers a soup of the day, reasonably priced for a cup at $1.95 and a bowl at $3.95. The cup offered just enough for an appetizer. Maria's Garden & Inn offers Boston clam chowder (white) as well as Peg's Crab Soup as the regulars. These two simmering soups come in a larger bowl, which runs about $4.50.
Homemade potato soup offered large chunks of spud cooked to perfection with a creamy base and slices of fresh celery and onion. This is a must-order for guests who flow into the Maria's Garden & Inn. Paired with New England oyster crackers, it was an explosion of flavor. Two women who were visiting from Baltimore raved about the creamy dish while anxiously awaiting their own cup.
Mozzarella bread with Maria's owner Margaret "Peg" Perry's famous red sauce, which is prepared a day before serving, offers lean beef and sausage, lots of tomatoes and spices.
The garlic cheesy bread was smothered with mozzarella and oregano. The sauce was a perfect pair with the warm bread. The restaurant caters to vegetarians with a meatless marinara sauce and a creamy alfredo sauce for those who prefer a creamier base.
Perry prepares the pasta dishes daily and are as homemade as they come.
Since Maria's is known for their Italian dishes, it was imperative that my party and I tried a few of the traditional dishes. We ordered spaghetti with homemade meatballs, a heaping portion of lasagna as well as the manicotti dish. The spaghetti and meatball entree was large enough for two people to enjoy. The lasagna - maybe I shouldn't say this - ranked pretty high up on my list of favorite lasagnas and was as good as my mother's prized Italian dish.
The sauce offered large chunks of tender meat with soft layers of noodles and flavorful cheeses. Slivers of tender green peppers and onions as well as Italian spices offered one of the best main dishes I have tasted in a long time. With this savory dish it was apparent that love was one of its main ingredients.
Unlike popular Italian chain restaurants, which are so busy preparing numerous dishes at the same time, the presentation of the lasagna dish was just as enticing. The plate was garnished just right with a good amount of sauce surrounding the large, cheesy entree.
No glass went unfilled at Maria's Garden & Inn since a flute of iced tea sat on the table throughout the meal.
Service was outstanding and Peg even talked to guests and shared stories of her homemade dishes with a laugh.
After the lasagna and sampling the flavorful meatballs, it was time for dessert. The choice was not a fairly easy one considering there were almost eight decadent desserts to choose from at Maria's.
Our group sampled a Butterfinger sundae, a hot fudge cake and strawberry shortcake. As a chocolate lover, the Butterfinger sundae provided large chunks of the candy bar with scoops of sweet vanilla ice cream drizzled with hot chocolate with a large heaping pile of whipped topping and a cherry resting on top. The hot fudge cake was warm and was eaten quickly as the scoops of sweet vanilla ice cream started to soak into the dark, luscious cake. The strawberry shortcake, a summertime favorite, offered large slices of the juicy, freshly ripened berries and the yellow cake was buttery. The bitterness of the strawberries and the sweetness of the moist cake balances out well for those with a sweet tooth.
Maria's not only offers great homemade Italian food at a super reasonable price, but the establishment has suites and luxurious bedrooms that are attached to the restaurant.
Aside from the Italian dishes, the eatery is known for having "Berkeley's Best Burgers," as well as an array of fresh salads ranging from tuna, grilled chicken, Italian stallion and even one topped with pepperoni and mozzarella. Other menu items include deli-style sandwiches, 12" traditional thick-dough pizza as well as white sauce pizza, more than 20 subs to choose from and seafood platters.
Those looking for a hearty breakfast Maria's Garden & Inns menu consists of a feed bag and gut buster special, which are sure to keep guests filled throughout morning hours. Fluffy omelets, breakfast subs and other early-bird dishes are available as well.
Those looking for a place to come and spend time with family while partaking in incredible Italian food will not be disappointed at this Berkeley Springs gem. For more information about Maria's Garden & Inn, visit www.mariasgarden.com.
Bon appetit!

Union City Mayor Brian Stack is scheduled to appear in North Bergen Municipal Court this evening to answer a simple assault complaint filed against him.
A Secaucus man, Ray Mitchell, has accused Stack of choking him during a Union City holiday party at Schuetzen Park in North Bergen on Dec. 14.
The court date was initially set for Jan. 7, but was postponed until Jan. 14, and then delayed again until today.
Stack's case is expected to be heard at 5:30 p.m.
Union City attorney Dennis McAlevy, who is representing Stack in the case, said the delays were due to his having to wait to receive documents he had requested as part of discovery.
Stack has denied putting his hands on Mitchell.
"You know election season must be approaching when a matter as ridiculous as this surfaces," city spokesman Mark Albiez has said about the matter. "This is politics at its worst. Sen. Stack looks forward to addressing this silly accusation."

What tips does anyone have to use naval units more effectively? :)
May 02, 2008, 02:05 PM
Transport ships are often the fastest way of moving your troops while on campaign, especially if you are fighting with foot units.
Units standing on ships in friendly / neutral waters heal in the same way as if they were standing on friendly / neutral dry land, which means you can often have your troops advancing and healing at the same time.
May 03, 2008, 05:48 AM
1. Naval bombardment can reduce a coastal enemy city's defences and population to soften it up for capture, by land forces or amphibians.
2. Ship chaining is considered an exploit by some players, but it's a powerful way to reduce the delay in getting reinforcements from your production centres to the battle front to maintain your attack momentum.
Station pairs of transports at appropriate handover points in the sea or ocean crossing. Load up a transport in your starting port, with units that have movement points in hand. Move that transport to the first handover point, wake the transported units up and transfer them at sea to one of the transports there. Move them on to the next handover point and repeat until they get to the destination. Return the unused one of each pair of transports backwards down the chain, the last one going back to the home port. The chain is then ready to repeat the process next turn.
Once you have a beach head city on the enemy continent your troops can disembark there and proceed towards the front. They will have used up no movement points during the crossing. You can, of course, use multiple pairs of transports to increase the chain's capacity.
Transport ships have low defence strength, so if your enemy has a navy then you will need to protect your handover points with fighting ships, as in a convoy.
With rails or roads feeding your coastal cities, your fast units - knights/cavalry/tanks - can often go into battle on the same turn that they were trained.
May 05, 2008, 05:13 AM
If both transports are in a stack, no. Just "wake up" and then Load, and chose the right transport from the list.
Aug 20, 2008, 12:45 PM
What i do is make what i call an 'Armada'. It consists of one Carrier with 3 Bombers and 1 Fighter on it, one Battleship, 2 Cruisers, and 4 destroyers. I can make multiple Armadas and i send them to an area of crisis to deal with the problem.
The uses are:
Carrier-carry planes
Bomber-bomb enemy cities and ships
Fighter-protect form planes
Battleship-defense and bombardment
Cruisers-defense and bombardment
Destroyers-Advance guard and Submarine protection
Fiddlin Nero
Feb 25, 2010, 04:18 PM
Armadas may not be necessary, not all AI Civs go in for big navies. Many times I get away with just transports. 'Normal' protection for me consists of a Battleship and something that can see submarines.
Having trouble with Cruise Missiles? They need to be loaded onto a transport off the coast, not in a city.
Getting carpal tunnel syndrome moving a lot of units? Most units can be airlifted, any number to a single airport or airfield, the downside is they can't be used till next turn.
Dec 27, 2012, 05:13 AM
My Naval doctrine depends on the Era.
AE: Galleys I use ethier as transport if practical. If not I use them to cut off the cost to stop the AI from doing those long range drop offs that never do anything but annoy.
ME: Early on I mostly do the same, but I'll stack then up because with the ability to travel on the see rather then coast it looses relevance. I may build some frigates for the sack of early defense and bombardment, but usely no.
IE: If I have a sufficient tech lead I'll research Ironclads and build them up, if not to just upgrade to Destroyers later. Ironclads are very decent bombarders for their time.
Late IE onwards: I basically do what Argetnyx does but with a different mock up. I extablish 'fleets' and defense flotillas. A fleet would consist of 3 carriers, 4 fighters and 8 bombers, 6 Cruisers, and 6 Destroyers. A Defense flotilla will consist of 3 or 4 Destroyers and 3 Cruisers.
My fleets will handle any significant AI navy, and launch invasions with its destroyers searching for subs. My defense flotillas will spread out where the AI will come from and I will set the Cruisers back to attack whatever trys to go through/attack the line.
Dec 27, 2012, 05:36 AM
Mine also depends on the era, but is different. Skipping AE since it's obviously galleys.
Late medieval/early industrial: Galleons for transport, Frigates as needed to disrupt enemies/provide a bit of defence. Try to only attack with 50% more ships than they have (approx) so I can actually finish them off and don't waste my ships for nothing. I only build privateers for fun. I almost always skip Ironclads, since Destroyers come soon enough and ironclads are slow. If I want bombardment, I build cannons so I can get interior cities, too. Even in Vanilla when Steam Power unlocked Ironclads, I rarely built many of them.
Late game: A mix of carriers, battleships, and destroyers for my main fleets. Cruisers didn't exist in Vanilla, and I still don't build them much. For transports, I'll include an escort, but it varies as to what it is. I also send out submarines, usually in small groups and/or near my own coast. Often I use them to take out transports and thus stymie invasions, but they're also great for finishing off damaged ships.
I tend to use fewer escorts per transport than the AI, particularly in the late game when a single submarine can snipe transports at will.
Dec 27, 2012, 05:59 AM
Yeah I only like Ironclads so I can have a sizable destroyer force quickly after making them available. But that's only when its justifiable to get the tech in the first place.
Personally I don't use battleships. I tend towards large fleets so that kind of makes me not like the extra cost too much, despite the more bang for the buck.
I got a mixed relationship with subs. I love the stealth attack. But the damn AI running one over makes them annoying. So I rarely use them. Honestly on fleet on fleet actions I prefer to catch them out in the middle of the ocean and bombard them weak, and then hit them with bombers. I find ships too expensive to waste in open combat. Mainly because theres only so many go coastal cities (in relation to land locked one) so bombers are more easily replaced.
Dec 28, 2012, 06:13 AM
Good point with the Sub Bug™. I do fairly often keep my subs either in port, or covered by another ship, in part to avoid this, and in part because they aren't very good at defence. Sometimes I'm risky and send them out on their own. As to what's more economical, I'm not sure. Having big enough fleets to bombard is expensive in the first place, and aircraft carriers are not cheap. I will bombard given the opportunity, but I don't always have that many ships, and the carriers I have are usually for overseas land operations, at least initially. There's also the question of whether it's cheaper to replace lost subs or lost planes - it's true that I can make more planes overall, but it might cost more in hammers to replace planes lost to ship AA fire. In real life, air power is the way to go, in Civ, I'm not as certain.
I'd forgotten that in [C3C] Ironclads upgrade to Destroyers - they don't in Vanilla. That does make them a better deal, and might be enough for me to build them if they didn't have a new, separate tech. I suspect in most cases I'd still rather have the smaller destroyer force sooner by skipping Ironclads. Especially if I were already ahead in tech, I'd put up with only having Frigates and then pwning my enemy's navy with the first few destroyers I built after skipping Ironclads. It's an interesting idea that if I were out-teched, it might pay off to go Ironclads, build a bunch, keep them in port, and then mass-upgrade to leapfrog in naval power.
Dec 28, 2012, 08:12 AM
Really I prefer large navies for no other reasons then I'll like them, and I do a lot of at sea work. I have a British like imperialism in most of my games, dominating small segments of the globe that I expand from typically around a particular resource. So Crusiers over BS for me just to make it easier on me.
As far as planes go, in civ I always mass produce my bombers. So AA isn't a big deal to me. I try and maintain about a 40+ bomber fleet where viable.
Dec 31, 2012, 06:49 PM
I clean up the seas with battleships and then park some outside the ports of whatever enemy I have at that moment so they can never get out in the open.
This leaves me able to just do whatever I want with carriers and transports. I will protect them with ~2 cruisers mostly.
It's their harbor cities that I bombard and destroy, I pick one as a landing spot. Sometimes I raze the place and build my own city, sometimes when the culture is low I keep it. My attacks are always a straight line towards the capital. So if there's a route that I can bombard from sea, then that's the route I'm taking.

I personally try an avoid destroying civs. So when I'm invading I focus on what ever territorial goals I have, then on ravaging the economy. I take a similar approach after I've destroy them as sea but I keep my forces more condensed.
Jun 26, 2013, 02:53 PM
I always end up with 6 Carriers, with 21 Bombers aboard, plus 3 Fighter Jets. By that time I have at least 18 Destroyers.
At that point, I rule the seas. I don't have to lift a finger, but can pull the trigger at will.
I make sure I have plenty of Jets/Bombers to rebase.

Buy America Works
The Federal Highway Administration Deploys Initiative and Innovation in Executing the Recovery Act's Important Buy America Provision
SOURCE: flickr/United Way of the Lower Mainland
Thanks to the Federal Highway Administration's initiative and innovation in executing the important Buy America provision of the federal Recovery Act, an American steel company received orders that would have otherwise gone overseas.
John Tassone, marketing director of the Independence Tube Corporation, used the highway administration's new Buy America website to let the government know that his Decatur, Alabama mill could produce bridge material. Independence and its workers got the job, which otherwise would have gone to a foreign company.
At a time of rising unemployment and economic uncertainty, more federal agencies should follow the FHWA's example and go the extra mile to make sure that American infrastructure is built by American workers.
"We fought for the Buy American provision to be included in the Recovery Act because we believed it could make a difference," said Leo W. Gerard, international president of the United Steelworkers union. "Those provisions, and especially the way that the Federal Highway Administration has implemented them, have surpassed all of our expectations and protected American jobs."
Some background: Under various laws including the 2009 American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, only American-made steel and iron products may be used for federal infrastructure projects. Waivers for the so-called Buy American provision are generally granted only if U.S.-made products cost at least 25 percent more than foreign equivalents, or if there are no available American manufacturers. One of the problems with such waiver processes is that they assume government officials know when waiver requests are reasonable.
To overcome this problem, transportation officials decided to publish all waiver requests they received on a public website, and then invite American contractors to alert officials if there were U.S. vendors available to fill a given job. The site resembles a blog, with sometimes multiple "comments" from people objecting to exceptions from the Buy America requirement.
And so when Contra Costa County, California needed steel tubes for a new Recovery Act-funded bridge, they contacted several American suppliers who said they could not manufacture the necessary part. But after filing a waiver request on the FHWA website, "Independence Steel jumped up and said, 'Wait a minute, we can make this,'" said project consultant Nick Panayotou in an interview. "So they went ahead and talked to our contractor, we put them in touch, and there you go, the tubes were able to come out to the site from there."
Thanks to FHWA's thoughtful solution, the highways agency spent 99.97 percent of its $2.63 billion in stimulus money in the United States. Just $7.9 million went overseas, the agency told Congress in 2010.
Other agencies and offices within the Department of Transportation—such as the Federal Aviation Administration and the Federal Rail Administration—should follow in the highway administration's footsteps. Doing so would pave the way for realizing Secretary Ray LaHood's vision of a department-wide online waiver request portal, which could create many more American jobs.

Gwen's Avant-Garde Cover Shot
She's a fashion designer, a pop star – and now, an avant-garde model? Yep, that's Gwen Stefani looking fierce on the March cover of V Magazine. While Mui Mui-clad Stefani has perfected her high-fashion moue for the cover, the singer really opens up in her interview, getting emotional when talk turns to her son, Kingston, 21 months. "I'm gonna start crying when I talk about this because it's just so ... it's so intense," she tells the magazine. "I put him to sleep at night and, you know, I'll be rocking him to sleep and he'll be playing with my hair and ... it's just the most amazing feeling in the world." The singer, who is expecting her second child, also adds, "It's fun trying to get pregnant."

Sophomore All-American Emily Infeld (pictured) finished third overall at the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional.
Nov. 14, 2009
Men's Complete Results | Women's Complete Results
WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University cross country team traveled to Princess Anne, Md., for the 2009 NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional today, hosted by the University of Maryland - Eastern Shore. The men won their fifth-straight team title (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) with 38 points, while graduate student and five-time All-American Andrew Bumbalough (Brentwood,Tenn./Brentwood Academy) became the first Hoya in history to win back-to-back individual titles. The women finished fifth in the team race with 100 points while sophomore and two-time All-American Emily Infeld (University Heights, Ohio/Beaumont) turned in a stellar individual performance to finish third overall.
Bumbalough ran the 10,000-meter race with a time of 31:41.6, pacing a 5:07 mile. Bumbalough led a solid team effort with four Hoyas finishing in the top 10. Finishing shortly behind Bumablough was graduate student Mike Krisch (Hopkins, Minn./Hopkins) with a time of 31:42.3. Redshirt sophomore Mark Dennin (Gilbertsville, Pa./Boyerstown), running in his first NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional, finished fifth overall with a time of 31:47.2 Graduate student Levi Miller (Belfast, Maine/Belfast Area) placed ninth (32:03.4) with sophomore James Grimes (Chatham, N.J./Chatham) finishing 20th (32:39.3) to round out the point scorers for the Blue & Gray.
The Georgetown men led the 32-team field with 38 points, followed by Villanova (48), Saint Joseph's (Pa.) (181), Navy (201), La Salle (203), Princeton (211), American (246), Duquesne (256), Temple (283) and Maryland (299) for the top 10.
In the women's 6,000-meter race, Infeld ran a 5:31 pace to finish with a time of 20:32, good enough for third place. Graduate student Natasha LaBeaud (Folsom, Calif./Folsom) was the second Hoya to cross the finish line as she placed 16th with a time of 21:21. Freshman Emily Jones (Harvard, Mass./Bromfield) finished 22nd (21:44) while classmate Kirsten Kasper finished 25th (21:52). Senior Marcie Sobrinski (Treichlers, Pa./Allentown Central Catholic) was the final Hoya to score points for the Blue & Gray with a 34th-place time of 22:31.
The women's 30-team field was dominated by BIG EAST foe Villanova as they placed all five point scorers in the top 10. Villanova took the team championship with 23 points followed by Princeton (77), West Virginia (82), Penn State (98), Georgetown (100), Maryland (246), Duquesne (299), Delaware (320), Lafayette (321) and Penn (325) for the top 10.
The Hoyas will now prepare for the NCAA Championships on Monday, November 23 in Terre Haute, Ind. At last year's championship, the women turned in a ninth-place performance while the men finished 10th.

Rusty Swisher, who started the school's boys golf program in 1995, officially retired as head coach last month.
He retired from teaching in June, but was going to lead the boys golf program at least one more year.
The 61-year-old recently had back surgery though, which led him to make the decision.
"I think it's the neatest program in the Southern Section. Of course I made it," said Swisher in his typically unique manner.
Swisher preached development and mixed in a sense of humor with a style all his own to help guide the Vikings program to success.
Valencia has made the postseason every year since 1996.
The Vikings won Foothill League titles in 2000 and 2002 and produced some of the decade's best golfers in the area — which included Brandon Christianson, Louis Amira and Max Homa.
"All those coaches who were here from beginning who dealt with growing pains and having to deal with the opening of a new school are special people," said Valencia athletic director Brian Stiman, who also was the school's first football head coach. "(Swisher) was here in the lean years. He was one of the original ones. He should be commended for that. He did a great job."
The 6-foot-5-inch coach with a booming voice has been a fixture at Valencia High athletic events and a vocal supporter of the school's many programs.
Stiman said there are a couple of options that the school will look at for a new head coach.
Robert Waters was the school's JV boys golf head coach last season.
Swisher recommended him, but Waters is tied up right now as the defensive coordinator for Valencia's football team.

California School of Culinary Arts recently announced the winners of the third annual Le Cordon Bleu Schools North America Market Basket Competition.
Ten future students participated in the semi-annual event and three Californians received scholarships to attend the Pasadena culinary school.
The second and third place winners are from Canyon High School in Canyon Country.
Kayleigh Morton placed second in the competition and won a $2,000 scholarship for her Berry Tiramisu. Morton will begin classes in CCA's Culinary Arts program in September 2009.
The third place winner in the Market Basket Competition was Kathryn Graham. She earned $1,500 in scholarship money for her Chocolate Honey Mousse.
The Le Cordon Bleu Market Basket Competition is held twice yearly at 14 of the Le Cordon Bleu Schools North America locations.
The pastry competition began with an essay and concluded with an intense kitchen challenge at California School of Culinary Arts.
Steven Hong, Associate Director of Admissions, said "We were very impressed with all the contestants and excited to have so many pursuing their passion in culinary arts."
The Le Cordon Bleu Market Basket Scholarship Competition is two-phased. First, future students submit an online entry form which includes a 75 to 150 word essay demonstrating their interest, desire and passion for becoming a chef; a team of judges select the finalists and invite them to compete in the kitchen challenge.
Then, on the day of the scholarship competition, future students are given a market basket containing key ingredients. They have 90 minutes to prepare and present two identical plated desserts (one for presentation and one for judging).
In December, Le Cordon Bleu Schools North America will host a cuisine-focused Market Basket Scholarship Competition for future students enrolled in the Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Programs.

Blueberry Orange and Almond Pancakes
24 Aug
It's Friday afternoon and I have pancakes on the brain.
I've been the proud owner of the Joy the Baker Cookbook for months and was feeling guilty that I hadn't made anything from it yet. There were some serious contenders for the baby shower I cohosted last month, but familiar favorites and one new (old) scone recipe won out.
It all came together last week when my fridge was bursting with blueberries and I was in need of a pancake recipe. That's when I decided to make Joy's Blueberry Orange and Almond Pancakes with Orange Maple Glaze (say that five times fast!). The headnote says these are the kind of pancakes you make for your mother, but I made them for my dad (what can I say, he's a pancake kind of guy).
The verdict? These are mighty fine pancakes. The addition of fresh orange juice and zest, along with almond extract, definitely adds that little something extra. Drizzling some orange maple glaze on top further brings out the orangeness of the pancakes, but they also taste decadent with pure maple syrup or local honey.
So, yes, I agree with Joy. This is definitely a pancake I wouldn't mind waking up to on Mother's Day, although I have a feeling my future Mother's Days will involve a pretty basic pancake recipe, a big mess in my kitchen, and sticky-fingered hugs.
And I wouldn't have it any other way. ;-)
Blueberry Orange and Almond Pancakes (with Orange Maple Glaze)
Makes 8 to 10 pancakes
For the pancakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 teaspoons orange zest
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
For the glaze
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk, orange juice, zest and almond extract.
Stir the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Fold in blueberries and let the batter rest for five minutes while the griddle heats. Meanwhile, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, orange juice and maple syrup; set aside.
Cook pancakes over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Top with glaze just before serving.
Happily made from the Joy the Baker Cookbook (I slightly adapted the glaze)
Psst! Feeling less fancy? My dad still likes these blueberry-cornmeal pancakes.

would've thought anyone of the 'central's would be able to sort you out. they have stuff for kids and they're on the bts...chid lom could well be easiest, one stop down from siam.
In Bangkok for a few days and would like advice as to where I can get a comfy car seat for my daughter. Something on the sky train would be good. I don't know Bangkok well but want my daughter to be strapped in for our trip, as well as not getting use to not having to be in one. She likes sitting in it in the USA. Wouldn't want to get back and have her refuse to sit in one or throw a tantrum. I know you don't need one here, just looking for a place that sells them. Not a tesci like operation. Thanks!
I've got to pick myself up Dust myself off And start all over again.

"so please show no pity as we come up from the ground, and please remember as you kill us and cut us down that time will not wash clean the bloody face of history, and someone will breathe here again and they will hate you for what you leave." m.g.
like a mall type of thing?

Central or The Emporium are far superior in choice and quality (though not necessarily price) to Robinsons IME.
Excuse me for not taking this seriously .....
Very very expensive.
I can't remember where I saw a shop (definitely a major mall somewhere) and there were like 15,000 baht or something.
Bring your one from home with you or borrow one from Aging One. I have done both. Bringing them on any airline does not incur any extra cost or affect your luggage limit, same as prams (strollers).
I'm already here.
You'll find one in any department store for about 4,000BHT. most are made here for shipping to europe so quality's not a problem
Those that want to read whatever they can want all freedoms, but have to understand they can have freedom, but it must be within the law.
ive slept all day so i will find one tonight. 4 grand is what i expected to pay. thanks all!
Got it at a robinsons. 3990, so it was what i expected. nice and plush as well. she'll be happy, fits nicely in the backseat of the ranger.

Aidan (John Corbett) will be in Sex and the City movie 2. Running into her old flame, will Carrie have some thoughts she shouldn't have or should she have them? Well, she is married to Big, but she did cheat on Aidan with Big. Should we just call it karma if Carrie cheats on Big with Aidan?

Sex and the City fans, Samantha Jones will have a new love interest or more like a new Boy Toy in the second movie. His name is Noah Mills and will he's just too adorable and sexy! Is he the perfect guy to replace Smith Jared? I don't know. I liked Smith and he was pretty darn sexy, too!

Posted February 6, 2009on:
Another Sex and the City movie is in the works. Yaaaaayyyyy!! I'm a HUGE Sex and the City fan and was very sad when it ended. I miss seeing Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha and Carrie. Finding out all the latest fashions and seeing all the hot spots of New York. I have all the seasons on DVD and of course I'll be buying the first movie. There weren't many details about the second Sex and the City movie, but of course I'll be on the lookout for sneaks.

The twelfth-century Norman poet Wace occupies an important place in medieval historiography and had an incalculable influence on medieval romance. By translating Geoffrey of Monmouth's "history" of Britain, the Historia Regum Britanniae, into his French verse Roman de Brut, he instantly allowed the layman as well as the clerk access to the "information" that Britain, settled by Brutus the grandson of Aeneas, had a long and proud history whose climax was the reign of king Arthur. Wace's work led in turn to the thirteenth-century English translation by La3amon and to numerous other Anglo-Norman and English "Bruts"; it also provided the starting-point and inspiration for the flowering of Arthurian romance.…

I am really hesitant about red lipstick.
(Update: Thank you all so much. I have been reading everybody's comments, and starring to say thank you. You've all been very kind. I now love red lips on me, and have a few more ideas of how to do red, thank to you all. This was awesome!)
I was once told (10 years ago) that I looked like I had "blowjob lips" when I wore a shade of red that I thought looked pretty. To be clear, this was not said in a complimentary tone like, "Damn girl, that red lipstick is giving you some banging blowjob lips." <—- Also probably not okay.
It was more like, "Whoa! What happened to your face? You look like you have blowjob lips!"... followed by a cackle. (You would think that blowjob lips would have no lipstick on them, and seem maybe a little chaffed? If your lips are blood red when giving head, you are doing it wrong, and might need to accompany the recipient to the ER.)
Me and the woman who made this comment worked in a cosmetics department together. I never had any idea what I was doing at that job; I worked for a skin care line that just didn't give a shit. Not sure why they hired me... I don't think this woman was trying to be a jerk, I don't even know her anymore, and wish her well. But I gotta say, having somebody who for sure knows more about make-up than I did/do critique me in such a rude way has made me a bit anxious about attempting red lips.
What I'm asking GT for today is some honesty with tact? Did I buy the right shade of red for me? I can take it! Or I'll just avoid an entire shade for another ten years.(kidding)
(Brand:Bite Beauty, Colour: Tannin)
ETA: GT, you're awesome... xxxxxx(those are all kisses). Thank you for boosting my red lipped confidence.

"Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
"Other times I can barely see.
"Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it's been."
— 'Truckin' by the Grateful Dead
The U.S. Navy has a number of little apocryphal stories it passes down to "enculture" its members. One such story concerned a young, ambitious lieutenant during the Spanish-American War who was called to the office of the president and told to "take a message to García."
A side note: This wasn't Jerry García.
Anyway, the eager young lieutenant dashed out the door and wasn't heard from for three months when he finally came staggering back in and asked, "Uh, which García and where is he?"
For those unable to discern it, the point the Navy made from this story concerned the perils of acting without sufficient information about both where you're going and what you are and aren't going to do on your way there.
So "take a message to García" acts, at least among Navy vets, as a macro: It reduces an entire lecture to five words and thus serves the Navy's institutional virtue of economy.
As we begin 2012 it strikes me as worthwhile to consider where we are really going — as individuals, as families, as a society. Our best barometer to gauge national purpose and priorities is our political discourse, which currently resembles "Radio Central" for drafting and sending messages to Garcías far and wide. This condition is so chronic that it has become our national expectation — that politics is a game of verbal warfare from which we, the voters, must divine or deduce someone's fitness for office by sifting through a torrent of macho rhetoric.
The best contemporary example of how confused we are is the Republican presidential field. So far the party's entire approach has resembled nothing so much as championship Whac-A-Mole. Someone rises in the polls until he reaches the front of the pack and then everyone else hammers on him until he drops back. In the meantime each candidate's grasp of economics, American political theory, jurisprudential evolution and the capabilities and limitations of the military is either incomplete, unexplored or unconfronted.
When you sit back and ask yourself, "Who are these people really talking to and what are they really saying?" it's easy to wonder if perhaps you somehow misunderstood what America is. If you work your way through it, though, you generally find that you aren't the one who doesn't understand America.
When we think of countries that are not like America, a common and glaring example is China. For centuries China has withstood invasion, oppression, rebellion and catastrophe, but the principle of a strong, ubiquitous central government that functions on graft and injustice has survived.
I was taught that to be an American is to put justice ahead of law and order. To be an American means working for what you want, and it means being rewarded according to your contribution. To be an American means taking advantage of what is at hand. To be an American means elevating the rights of the individual over the desires of the masses. To be an American means looking to the future with a prudent regard for our stewardship of what we have been given. To be an American means being willing to sacrifice everything for the good of America.
So these are the things I look for in candidates. But it takes a lot of attention to spot such subtleties in the bombastic rhetoric of our day, and it's easy to be wrong.
I offer two "content zones" to attend between now and the election. The first is economic. We have to look past such facile labels as "socialism" and "Obamacare" and ask ourselves who is spending what money for whose benefit. As Paul Krugman wrote in a column for the New York Times last Sunday, debt per se is not as troublesome as shrinking revenue, and with interest rates as low as they are the signal isn't so much "America is in debt!" as it is "America is spending it wrong!" Politicians who want to spend trillions on defense and nothing on society are leading us to a situation where what we have is worth less than what we defend it with.
The second area is each candidate's take on personal freedom. Those who want to put a cop in your bedroom won't be happy until they have a cop in your head, and it's nice to find out who those people are before we give them the keys to the arsenal.

Split By Topic Not By Opinion
If a Wiki page gets too big, and you'd like to split it, you'll be tempted to split it by opinion first. It's very common to see a page already organized by opposing opinions anyway. Someone will write a four-paragraph blurb in support of something, and then it will be separated with a horizontal line from the next section, which will be ... a four-paragraph blurb against it. You'll probably be tempted to take the second blurb and turn into a page with a name like "E
Imagine the result, though. A flurry of pages saying things like "F
ooBarIsEvil" and "F
ooBarIsTheGreatestThingSinceSlicedBread" and "F
ooBarRefuted" and "F
ooBarMisunderstood". This will cause encourage two different behaviors, both negative:
Most people will naturally gravitate towards the page that tends to support their own opinions.
And so Wiki will begin to look less like a great dinner party, and more like a dysfunctional apartment where all the roommates never leave their bedrooms because they hate each other.
People who are in the mood for a flame-war will gravitate towards the page opposing their opinion.
And we shouldn't really do anything to make things easier for these people.
Generally, the big problem with splitting by opinion is that it obliterates the middle ground. What if you're ambivalent about F
ooBar, and would like to sort out your own ambivalences on one page? Where do you post it? Do you split up your own post and put it on two different pages? More likely, you'll just forget about it, and cede ground to the fanatics.
Probably it's far more productive to split by topic area, creating a cluster of pages with names like "F
ooBarAndExtremeProgramming" and "W
hatWouldChristopherAlexanderSayAboutFooBar". Of course, it's probably a lot harder, too.
In writing this, I'm fully aware that there are actually tons of these sorts of opinion-split pages already around. And maybe they help a little by serving a bit as designated places to let off steam on certain touchy topics, such as Microsoft. Still, I can't help but shake the nagging feeling that the refactorers could be working a little harder to guide civil discussion and piece-by-piece consensus. Maybe I'm just being too idealistic again. -- francis
I can't help but believe that pages split by opinion are actually good. I think of many page titles as a little handle attached to an idea. The title summarizes the idea, and may be an ImplicitAssertion
that the idea is good. It may also be a recommendation, such as SplitByOpinionNotByTopic
If PageTitlesAreHandlesForAnIdea
, and/or there are real-world scenarios both for and against the idea/recommendation, then pages with opposing names (
) make sense.
Page titles should be assertions, for the simple fact that you can then link to them in sentences grammatically.

I do not want to anger anyone, but I am tired of so many people not mentioning the fact that the child ran out into the street without looking at all. How many times do we remind our children to "look both ways" before crossing the street?
I have heard this story told 20 or so times in the past ten days, and no one has remembered that she ran out in the middle of the street. There was no way for the driver to see, as the girl ran out from in front of her mother's large SUV.
No one has bothered to mention, either, that the driver who hit the girl was going 10 miles below the 25 mile-an-hour speed limit. She was not late. She was not speeding. She did nothing wrong. In fact, she did everything right.
We are all happy that all has turned out well, but let's not forget that we can never remind our children too often to "look both ways before you cross the street!"

The Yamaha SD-2465 Steel Snare has a bright, cutting sound and is one of the best values around!
Steel snares have the brightest tone of all Yamaha metal-shell snare drums. The Yamaha SD-2465 Steel Snare is a versatile drum that you can tune down for a fat sound or crank it up to make your backbeat pop. The 6-1/2" deep shell has more body and warmth than a shallower shell.
One-piece lugs allow high tension and added strength. The "B" type strainer is a classic design that's simple and reliable. Triple-flanged steel hoops give you a wide tuning range and allow the drum to open up even under higher tension. Chromeplated finish is glassy smooth.
- Brightest tone of all Yamaha snares
- Chromeplated steel 6-1/2" deep shell for more body and warmth
- One-piece lugs for added strength

Comments about Yamaha Steel Snare:
I just assembled one of these bad boys at my high school, usin the bottom head off of an old crappy Ludwig. The drum assembled and disassembled nicely, easy to put the snares on and take them off. the bottom head was the easiest bottom head that I've ever tuned! It sounds amazing, even though we have a Remo Black Max on the top, it has a great pop, and no overtones.

Oh, he was married four times, and I three times. I do not remember how many lovers I had, and they say Diego was in love with Paulette Goddard, and the Mexican actresses Maria Felix and Silvia Pinal say he was in love with them. Perhaps..." Diego was the painter laureate of the Mexican Left, and Dolores "Lola" Olmedo does more than prattle about him nowadays. She is trying hard to preserve his name. Lola claims to be the great, unconsummated love of his life, and indeed he declared her the administrator of his estate and president of his artistic trust.
The 70ish Olmedo has turned her 12-acre hacienda, built by an Aztec king in the capital suburb of Xochimilco, into a veritable shrine to the painter. The walls are covered with the world's largest collection of his works, and the drawing room is dominated by a colossal bust of him. Her vault is crammed with Rivera's love letters and jewelry he designed for her, including a gold pendant with a small frog sitting on a blood-red heart inscribed, "All the love of Diego Rivera to Lola Olmedo." The frog, Lola explains, is Rivera's symbol for himself, "because he looked like a frog, and it is gray because gray frogs are rare and he was rare. So when he wanted to talk about himself in relation to me he used to paint a gray frog."
Rivera first encountered Lolita, whose accountant father died when she was an infant, in an elevator when she was 11. Struck by her dark beauty, maestro Rivera immediately asked her mother's permission to paint the child. "In the next four years he made 20 nude drawings and paintings of me," she recalls. At 15, Lola married for the first time, but Rivera continued to paint her (thenceforth with her clothes on, though he later did nudes of her daughter). He died in 1957 of cancer. Reflecting on her years as Diego Rivera's inamorata, Lola says that, although he proposed many times, "I was wise not to marry Diego. I would have been just another wife. I had an affair with Diego all through my life. It was the most important thing in my life. He has proved it was the most important affair of his life too." But, she maintains, "I never went to bed with him."
Rivera's marriages were all turbulent. "Diego's wives never liked me," says Lola, "and I never liked them." Lola made that clear when the dying Rivera came to her Acapulco villa and she got rid of his hapless fourth wife, Emma Hurtado, by slipping live snakes among her nightgowns.
Lola's first husband, Howard S. Phillips, an English magazine publisher, was wealthy but "very, very stingy," she recalls. "I had four children with him. I wanted to make sure that I had money to give them a good education. I soon started working. First I baked bread and sold it to schools. I also started baking bricks. And soon that turned into a big industry. Then I used my own bricks to start building and went into construction."
She eventually became one of the country's richest women, able to travel the earth in search of Rivera paintings. (She now owns 130.) Her eldest son, Alfredo, is director of the Bank of Mexico, and her other children are prospering outside the nest. Keeping her company on the Xochimilco estate are 16 dogs, swans, deer, parrots and painter José Juarez, 40.
He may not be the only artist in residence. "One night I was depressed and lonely in this huge hacienda," re-counts Lola. "My last ex-husband happened to phone. I was crying over the phone and on the verge of telling him to come and see me. That precise moment I saw a little gray frog crossing the floor and jumping onto my desk. I had never seen a frog in my house before," she continues. "From the desk he jumped right into the palm of my hand and looked at me. Well, that was the end. I got the message and didn't ask my ex-husband to come."

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture's newly developed grass-fed marketing claim standards are being rejected by the American Grassfed Association, a trade group representing more than 200 grass-fed livestock producers.
