Barbecue From Coast to Coast
By WILLIAM E. SCHMIDT; William E. SChmidt is the Chicago bureau chief of The New York Times.
Published: July 3, 1988
THE Dreamland Drive Inn Bar-B-Q, on the outskirts of Tuscaloosa, Ala., looks like a good barbecue restaurant ought to look: a smoky, clapboard building with a screen door that slaps shut, a graveled parking lot, tables with chipped Formica tops. There is just one thing on the menu at the Dreamland, and that is pork ribs, ritually served up with a couple of slabs of white bread on a paper plate.
I made my first visit there in the company of some people from the University of Alabama who wanted to show me the town. The ribs were good, but I didn't really understand how good until a university representative effortlessly delivered what I have since come to regard as the ultimate compliment, the highest sanction, the measure and standard against which all other barbecue will forever be judged. ''These ribs,'' she said, wiping some sauce from her chin, ''make your tongue want to slap your brains out.''
This is one of the wonderful things about barbecue. It alone, of all native American cuisine, has the capacity to evoke such passion and debate and rhetorical flourish. Barbecue, indeed, may be one of the few foods that is as much fun to talk about and argue about as it is to eat.
Calvin Trillin, a man who has written more about barbecue than any single person would probably ever want to read, once recalled a barbecue festival in Memphis, where he overheard among the cooks a liturgy of barbecue refrains and responses rich enough to fill a small catechism. There were phrases like: ''Why, you taste these ribs, you'll throw rocks at other folks' ribs.'' Or, ''Hopefully, we're going to give you a rib that'll make your breath come hard.''
There is no great mystery to why this is so. The first thing to know about barbecue, be it beef or pork, rib or shoulder, is that it is not merely a food. In the South especially, it is a cultural ritual, practiced with a kind of religious fervor among various barbecue sects, each of whom believes their particular concoction of smoke and sauce and spices is the only true way to culinary salvation.
Indeed, it is a measure of the role that barbecue plays in Southern culture that few politicans would dare seek public office in the South without having the capacity not only to consume vast quanities of barbecue, but the ability to appear as if they were enjoying every mouthful.
It was Herbert O'Keef, the former editor of The Raleigh Times, who once even penned an axiom about it. ''No man,'' wrote Mr. O'Keef, ''has ever been elected Governor of North Carolina without eating more barbecue than was good for him.'' Predictably, many places claim the origin of barbecue, which, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, has its etymological beginnings, anyhow, in the Spanish ''barbacoa,'' a word adapted among the natives of both Haiti and Guiana to refer to a rude framework of sticks placed above a fire to roast meat. The first American reference to barbecue as a kind of social event comes from Washington Irving, in the 1809 edition of the ''Knickerbocker Tales,'' in which he refers to the ''great 'barbecue,' a kind of festivity or carouse much practiced in Merryland.'' And as early as 1728, visitors to the Carolinas were commenting on the affection settlers there seemed to show for roasted pork.
''The truth of it is,'' wrote William Byrd of Virginia, ''the inhabitants of North Carolina devour so much swine's flesh that it fills them full of gross humours.'' But it is the Texans, as is their wont, who claim to have invented commercial barbecue, when local butchers near the turn of the century started smoking unsold scraps of beef on Saturdays, to increase their flavor and preserve them until the market reopened Monday. Alabamians also claim barbecue as their own invention.
To be sure, barbecue these days is not exclusively a phenomenon of Texas or the South. It is possible to find barbecue places (nobody ever calls them restaurants) in other cities. Kansas City, in particular, is famous for its beef barbecue, and a place like Arthur Bryant's rightfully belongs in the pantheon of barbecue, alongside such shrines as the Dreamland and the Rendezvous in Memphis. But it is also true that, in the North, barbecue has a different context.
Northerners just behave differently around barbecue. There was a good example of this recently in Evanston, a town north of Chicago and the lofty home of Northwestern University. Some people in Evanston actually complained to the city about the sultry, smoky, seductive aroma that emanates from Hecky's, a rib place of some local renown. Fortunately, Hecky's has a wide base of admirers, who have responded with enthusiasm to a sign placed along the street outside their kitchen. It faces passing traffic and reads: ''Honk if you like our smell.''
Part of this is just a matter of upbringing. A lot of Yankees, including me, grew up up thinking that barbecue is a verb, as in, let's fire up the backyard grill and barbecue some hot dogs. Grammatically speaking, you cannot argue with this: it is certainly proper to use barbecue as a verb, to cook anything you would like.

This was a secret hotel on lastminute.com and we have never stayed here before but it was great and I would be happy to come back. The service was exceptional, very geared towards the Japanese market. The rooms have been refurbished and are lovely, clean and spacious with water views. Secure access to all floors and reasonably priced valet parking.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hilton Cairns
I found the Hilton very over-priced for what it offers. There are other hotels nearby that are much cheaper. The rooms are small, and the bathrooms need renovating. The entrance to your room is outside on a tiled verandah, hence you hear anyone / anything that goes by, as well as doors slamming from the floors near you. Room servicing is inconsistent - not a lot is done on the weekend. The restaurants are reasonably priced and the food is lovely. Breakfast is very good. The tour desk is not always open, but they are helpful. Location is great - central to everything. Lovely pool. The machines and weights in the gym are old.
Convenient Location
Stayed at the Hilton Cairns for a couple of nights.
Best thing about this hotel is the location. It is a 2 minute walk from the wharf where all the tours leave and very close to restaurants and bars.
The room smelled a little funky because of humidity bu the hotel provides a vaporiser for aromatherapy. Other than that the rooms are spacious and newly renovated. Try the pool and spa which were empty when we went.
The staff was friendly but what the hotel calls a concierge is really a bell boy and was not able to provide any reliable recommendations for restaurants. The tour desk was also rather inefficient.
Super stay
Great stay and great service. When I booked this hotel I was a little skeptical as the write up on Hilton was not very impressive. The hotel has a great location, one of maybe 3 hotels of this caliber where the action is. Next door to the Casino, off the boardwalk and very close to where the boats depart to visit the reef. Nice rooms and excellent restaurants. If you are on the executive floor the breakfast and evening reception is first class.
Great Choice
After booking a week at this hotel, I read a less than enthusiastic review of the Hilton on-line. Since my wife had picked the hotel, I did not mention this to her but I was a bit worried. However, I don't know at which Hilton in Cairns (and there is only one) the reviewer stayed but I saw no relationship between the review and the reality.
We had a lovely stay. Room was extremely nice and the hotel's services from laundry to the restaurants were superb. It is ideally located close to the wharf from which the Barrier Reef boats depart.
Love the Hilton !
Actually, we had booked a room in another hotel in Cairns because we got a very good offer overthere. But after one night in the other hotel we felt not good and we wanted to go back to the Hilton where we have stayed a few times before and we felt home immediately ! From the moment we stepped into the lobby it felt good ! Only thing, there were not a lot rooms available anymore. With all that they could do they managed to give us a very nice spa-room ! Recently refurbished, as all the rooms have, very comfortable. The ladies at the Club-lounge were friendly and helpfull and nice to talk to as ever ! As was everybody. Good service from all the staff !
We had breakfast/drinks in the Executive-lounge but we took a look at the breakfast buffet in the restaurant and this was also great !
We are defintely coming back to the Hilton as soon as we can !
None better
We stayed for a few days in December 2003. It is the best located hotel in Cairns. Large comfortable rooms. The dining room had fabulous views and a good buffet selection for breakfast. Very tropical. Wonderful bed. I would definitely go to this Hilton again. Being there was a very pleasant experience.
Wondeful experieceses
I have stayed at Hilton Caiens several times. I enjoyed the hospitality every time. I am going to visit your Hotel this October. See you again. e
Good stay at a fair price.
I booked a very affordable basic room online. It was non-refundable so I was a little leery. I was pleasantly surprised with a well-kept king-bedded room overlooking the water and the swimming pool (a little gem in itself.) If you have a balcony, keep the door completely shutthe air conditioning is designed not to operate if the door is ajar. The tropical summer climate is very humid. The staff (for the most part) was very friendly and accommodating. Valter from the tour desk was very helpful. The location of the hotel is perfect for those planning to visit the Great Barrier Reef (tour operators are all just steps away from the hotel. Try Ocean Spirit or Passions of Paradise both are great fun and very customer oriented! You are also just steps away from an endless supply of souvenir shops and markets. The concierge made a few good recommendations for restaurants. It is worth the short taxi ride if they make a recommendation outside of the tourist area. I will be back to visit and will stay at the Hilton Cairns.

In Brief: Contractor denied release in Iran documents case
Contractor's bail denied in Iran documents case
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- A former defense contractor engineer poses too much of a flight risk to release from prison while he awaits trial on charges that he tried to ship sensitive documents to Iran, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
Magistrate Judge William Garfinkel denied a bail request by Mozaffar Khazaee, who pleaded not guilty to charges of transporting property stolen from companies where he'd worked.
Prosecutor Krishna Patel said authorities are concerned the Iranian government could gain access to the materials.
Khazaee, 59, tried to ship to Iran stolen proprietary information about the Air Force F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program, a fighter jet, and military jet engines, prosecutors said.
Police say parents kept autistic boy in cage
SANTA ANA, Calif. -- The parents of a severely autistic boy were arrested after investigators determined the 11-year-old had been kept in a large metal cage, possibly to control his violent outbursts, authorities said Wednesday.
The cage -- similar to an extra-large dog kennel -- was found in the home with a mattress and other bedding inside, Anaheim police Lt. Bob Dunn said. It was roughly 6 feet tall, 5 feet long and 3 or 4 feet wide with room to stand.
The boy was not inside, but family members gave police varying accounts of how long he had been kept in it, ranging from hours to days, Dunn said.
"It appeared that as he grew older his episodes of violence and outbursts were increasing and perhaps the parents utilized the cage as a tool to modify that and to contain him when that was happening," he said.
Officers went to the Anaheim home Tuesday after a tipster called Orange County Child Protective Services.
The parents were arrested on suspicion of felony child endangerment and false imprisonment.
The child was well-nourished and appeared otherwise healthy, and his two siblings, ages 8 and 10, were unharmed. They were all placed in protective custody, Dunn said.
School alters fight song amid sexism concerns
SALT LAKE CITY -- The University of Utah has tweaked its official fight song, offering an alternate choice for its signature line and replacing others amid concerns the former version was sexist.
The new version doesn't officially change the lyrics from "I'm a Utah man" to "I'm a Utah fan." Instead, it lists both; singers can choose their preference.
But the line "coeds are the fairest" is officially out.
University President David Pershing announced the changes Wednesday in a prepared statement. A panel of students, school officials, employees, and alumni was tasked with reworking the anthem.
"We want to honor and preserve our history," said Barbara Snyder, the task force chair and university vice president for student affairs. "But we also want to be an institution that's very inclusive in our community, so that everybody can feel comfortable singing the lyrics."

Following an accident with a hairdryer, design student Sookhyun Kim has burnt a pattern of 426 circles onto this wooden chair using a heat gun (+ movie).
The box-shaped Peacock Chair is constructed from maple wood, selected for its hardness, and features a low rectangular back.
Related story: Seung Jin Yang's Blowing chairs are made from party balloons
The entire surface of the furniture is covered in dark brown circular burn marks, created by holding a heat gun to the wood. Kim discovered the technique by accident, after leaving a hot hairdryer on top of a chair.
"The surface of the wooden chair where the dryer had laid on was burned naturally," said the designer, who is currently completing the Woodworking and Furniture Design course at Hong-ik University in Seoul, South Korea.
"Watching the scene I learned that burning the surface of the wood by blowing hot air is able to feel beautiful itself," added Kim. "I began looking for a tool that can burn more efficiently than a dryer, but creates similar effects."
After experimenting with a number of tools, the designer discovered that a heat gun could blow 630-degree air onto surfaces of various kinds of wood and burn on the circular shapes. These can vary in shade depending on how long the material was heated.
Kim created darker burn marks towards the back of the chair, in order to reference the wood's own natural gradient effect. The furniture is named for the patterned feathers of peacocks, which also feature dark circular centres.
Swedish collective Front also used singeing techniques to create tables covered with burnt-on doodles, and Belgian designer Kaspar Hamacher stripped bark back from logs and then burnt away sections to create stools.
Other unusual chairs that have recently been unveiled include spiral-shaped wooden seats purposefully designed to be uncomfortable, and a bench that expands and contracts like an accordion.

Ferry with 250 Passengers Onboard Sinks in Bangladesh
By PTI
Published: 04th August 2014 02:27 PM
Last Updated: 04th August 2014 03:09 PM
DHAKA: An overcrowded ferry with up to 250 passengers onboard today sank in the Padma river in central Bangladesh, officials said.
They said strong current in the turbulent river apparently upturned ferry which was carrying nearly double the number of passengers than its capacity this morning in Munshiganj area.
"Two bodies were retrieved so far while some 45 passengers were rescued alive by vessels and speedboats which were plying nearby rescued immediately after the accident," a police official told PTI from the scene by phone.
Munshiganj Police chief Tofazzal Hossain said some of the passengers could swim to safety but many were feared trapped or drowned.
The private Samoy and other TV channels said the navy and fire service divers joined the rescue campaign but the inclement weather made the situation difficult to search for more bodies or passengers as the river remained very rough.
The accident took place when the ferry was on its way to mawa terminal starting from Kewrakandi of southwestern Madaripur.
Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority officials said a salvage vessel was directed to reach the site as soon as possible to retrieve the sunken boat Pinak-6.
The accident occurred nearly three months after a boat capsized in the same area killing 50 people.
Ferry accidents are common in riverine Bangladesh criss-crossed by some 230 river especially in the southern and northeastern regions while faulty design of boats and ferries alongside poor safety standards are generally blamed for the disasters.

The Newest Breakthrough in Liposuction
SmartLipo Event For more information on the SmartLipo TriPlex and to meet Dr. Powell; the only physician in North Texas to have the newest and most advanced SmartLipo TriPlex machine, join us on June 8th.
THE NEWEST BREAKTHROUGH IN LIPOSUCTION Laser-Assisted SmartLipo TriPlexTM Results in Faster Healing, Tighter, Firmer Skin
IRVING, TEXAS, June 2, 2011 – Less fat. Tighter skin. Back to work in two days. Playing sports in one week. These don't sound like promises from traditional liposuction.
Typical liposuction is an invasive surgery with general anesthesia that results in extensive bruising, swelling, several weeks of recovery, and the results can be less than what was hoped for.
"Patient downtime after traditional liposuction surgery is significant,"
This minimally-invasive procedure is performed in the comfort of a physician's office with local numbing medication. Tiny incisions are made (about the size of the tip of a pen) and a laser fiber is used to melt and remove fat deposits.
The procedure takes less than two hours and results will be seen as early as one week, with continued improvement over 3- 6 months. And the best part? SmartLipo permanently destroys the fat cells in the treated area!
"No matter how strict some of my patients' diet and how much they exercise, many of them just cannot eliminate certain areas of fat, such as around the abdomen or the upper regions of the arms," explains Dr. Powell. "SmartLipo is ideal for treating these areas and the added benefit of the laser stimulating collagen production leaves the skin firm.
SmartLipo Event For more information on the SmartLipo TriPlex and to meet Dr. Powell; the only physician in North Texas to have the newest and most advanced SmartLipo TriPlex machine, join us on June 8th at 5:30pm at our office at 1110 Cottonwood Lane Suite L200 Irving, TX 75038 (across from Four Seasons). Chance to win Smart Lipo Procedure- $4500 Value, Co2 Fraxel, Botox, Laser Hair Removal, and Photo Facial just for attending. Call (214) 382-2659 or email email@example.com to register.

THREE WEEKS after Rais M'Bolhi was brought in to be the Union's goalkeeper of the future, we still await the Major League Soccer debut of the two-time World Cup participant.
That day could still be several weeks away, meaning Zac MacMath is likely to garner a few more starts in goal over the final 10 games of this regular season. The Union (6-6-9) prepared this week as if MacMath would start Sunday's 8 p.m. home game against Chris Wondolowski and the San Jose Earthquakes (6-9-7).

Unlike another pre-All-Star Game contest I know of, the Home Run Derby doesn't need costumes or silly props in order to be fun. All it needs is plenty of home runs.
And to that end, it never disappoints.
For the second year in a row, Major League Baseball decided to use the team captain system for the Home Run Derby. Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp chose Carlos Beltran, Carlos Gonzalez and Giancarlo Stanton to be on his team, and New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano chose Jose Bautista, Prince Fielder and Mark Trumbo to be on his team.
Cano won the Derby last season, and his team features MLB's current home run leader, the 2009 Home Run Derby champion and a player who's averaging roughly 420 feet per home run this season.
Kemp led the National League in home runs in 2011, and his team features a hitter with one of the prettiest lefty swings in baseball, a hitter who knows Kauffman Stadium quite well and baseball's very own answer to the Incredible Hulk.
So which team has the edge? For that matter, which individual player is the man to beat?
That's what we're here to discuss. Scroll forward for vital Home Run Derby intelligence.

The UN says the death toll in Ukraine has soared with nearly 1000 killed in two weeks, as Kiev signalled it could compromise on letting in Russian aid.
After earlier vowing to block a massive Russian convoy headed for its borders, Kiev now says it could allow the aid to enter the country after it was inspected by Ukrainian border guards and foreign monitors.
Read more:
* Scepticism over Moscow's aid convoy to Ukraine
* Ukraine rebel leader asks for aid, cease-fire
* Putin gamble goes wrong
* MH17 body identification underway in Holland
Ukraine has raised fears the convoy of nearly 300 lorries could be a "Trojan horse" bringing military help to pro-Moscow insurgents who launched a rebellion in the country's east.
Tensions have risen as the convoy rumbled toward the border, with Western capitals fearing it could spark an escalation in a conflict that has already brought ties with Russia to their lowest point since the Cold War.
But as the humanitarian crisis in the east worsened, President Petro Poroshenko's office suggested the much-needed aid could be allowed in to avoid what it called a "large-scale invasion" by Russia.
The proposal would allow aid for the hard-hit eastern city of Lugansk where the Red Cross would distribute it to civilians. It was unclear if the lorries or just their content would be allowed into Ukraine.
The convoy left the Moscow region on Tuesday, local time, carrying more than 1800 tonnes of supplies including medical equipment, baby food, sleeping bags and electric generators, Russian media reported.
Watch: Russia responds to Western sanctions with food ban
Russia insists that it coordinated the mission with the International Committee of the Red Cross and that the convoy does not include military personnel.
The convoy, due to arrive at the border by evening, was apparently stalled for much of Wednesday at an airfield in the south-western Russian town of Voronezh.
There was no doubt of the need for aid. Four months of fierce battles between Ukrainian forces and insurgents have left rebel strongholds in the east without power, running water or fuel, and with dwindling food supplies.
Rebel fighters have been losing ground to government forces, and as the fighting has intensified the UN human rights agency said the number of dead had doubled in two weeks.
As of Sunday the death toll had hit 2086, up from 1129 on July 26, the agency said, adding that the figures should be considered "very conservative".

The government pressed on with an offensive against rebel-held cities, with Ukraine's military saying 11 servicemen had been killed and 41 injured in the previous 24 hours.
Some 285,000 people have fled their homes in four months of what the Red Cross has officially deemed a civil war.
Kiev has long accused Moscow of fuelling the pro-Kremlin insurgency and earlier on Wednesday Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Moscow's aid delivery was a cynical ploy.
"First they delivered tanks, Grad missiles, terrorists and bandits to shoot Ukrainians and now they are delivering water and salt," he told a cabinet meeting.
Moscow should have sent empty lorries "to take back their bandits" rather than sending aid, he said.

Learn more about homelessness by watching Homeward Bound's video.
Describe what your organization does, especially the main issue or problems it addresses (your mission or goals):
Homeward Bound ends homelessness in Asheville & Buncombe County! Our goal is move every person we serve out of homelessness & into his or her own apartment, then provide the support needed to keep him/her in housing sustainably. We're the lead agency implementing our community's 10-year plan to end homelessness, and last year alone we housed 203 people. Our housing retention rate is 89%, meaning 9 out of 10 people we house don't become homeless again...it's a real solution to the problem! We operate 5 programs: the housing program (Pathways to Permanent Housing), an outreach program (PATH), two faith-based & relationship-driven programs (Room in the Inn & HOPE to HOME), and the A HOPE Day Center. A HOPE is open 7 a.m. to noon every day of the year, & provides basic services like showers, mail, phone, & storage. Everyone who's homeless in Asheville comes through A HOPE at some point, and it's a key first step for people without housing to get connected with our agency, the services they need, & ultimately their own apartments.
What types of service-learning opportunities do you have for students?
A HOPE is our primary service-learning opportunity. At A HOPE, students have significant interaction with people experiencing homelessness in Asheville. They help meet basic needs by checking mail for clients, handing out towels & toiletries for showers, etc., but they also learn about homelessness: who's homeless, & why does it happen? How do we end homelessness? What resources are available in our community, and what are the gaps? How can students & other community members be part of the solution to homelessness?
How do you envision students learning and growing from their involvement? Can you envision any ties to their academic work (for example, will they work on a problem related to issues they might study in their classes)?
Substantive interaction with people experiencing homelessness is life-changing. In addition, today's students need to know that homelessness is a solvable problem; they need to understand what the solution is & how they can be part of it. Homelessness impacts us all in many ways & could be tied to many aspects of academia - social work, of course, but also economics, public health, education, community development, and even marketing.
Will you train students? Supervise them? If so, please explain how:
Absolutely. All students receive an orientation about the issue of homelessness & our agency's role in solving it, as well as direct training for the work they're doing. Students at A HOPE work alongside staff & receive direct supervision there, but will also meet occasionally with the Director of Community Engagement for check-ins.
Scheduling could be an important issue. Please note the available times students could work with your organization:
7 a.m. to noon every day at A HOPE (including weekends)
Is there a minimum number of hours you require of students in a semester (which lasts 15 weeks)? Do you require or ask students to stay longer than a 15-week semester?
What Community Service Projects could faculty or students help you with?
Our A HOPE Day Center has a growing number of volunteers, and as we serve more & more clients, we will continue to recruit additional volunteer support. We need to equip volunteers with the tools to most effectively support our clients & work with our staff, and we would like to create an A HOPE handbook with information about community partners & the process of referring our clients to them, as well as in-house procedures.
Another project for a fall semester is our annual Home for the Holidays fundraising campaign. This is a marketing project involving recruiting new businesses to partner with us in this campaign, creating the appropriate materials for the campaign, and assisting in delivery of those materials as well as follow-up with participating businesses.

One Million Lovely Letters: When Life is Looking Hopeless, One Inspirational Letter Can Change Your Life Forever (Hardback)Jodi Ann Bickley
Hardback Published: 27/02/2014
- Not available
Click & Collect From your local shop
In the summer of 2011, aged only 22, Jodi Ann Bickley contracted a serious brain infection that would change her life forever. Jodi had been performing at Camp Bestival on the Isle of Wight. Returning with pockets full of glitter, and her favourite bands' songs still playing in her head, She thought the happy memories would last forever. A week later, writhing in pain on the doctor's surgery floor and unable to put the pain she was suffering into words, Jodi found out that she had been bitten by a tick and contracted a serious brain infection. Learning to write and walk again was just the start of the battle. In the months that followed Jodi struggled with the ups and downs of her health and the impact it had on her loved ones. Some days the illness was too much for Jodi to bear and she found herself wondering whether she could go on. She had two choices: either to give up now or to do something meaningful with the time she had been given. Jodi chose the latter. This is the story how she turned her life around, and in doing so, touched the lives of millions. ONE MILLION LOVELY LETTERS is one woman's inspirational journey to recovery, and is a witty and uplifting testament to the power of words to heal heart and mind. www.onemillionlovelyletters.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXxglvEMUQc

Cuenca Confident: I Know I'll Beat Juan Manuel Marquez
By Rafael Soto
Argentine boxer Cesar Rene Cuenca has spent years waiting for a world title shot. On April 14th in Mexico City, he will face one of the greatest Mexican fighters of all time, Juan Manuel Marquez, for the interim-WBO junior welterweight title. Cuenca (42-0, 1 KO) knows Marquez is a very experienced fighter, and he knows a lot of other fights are at stake for the Mexican icon - but Cuenca has no doubts about his ability to defeat Marquez.
"I am very happy, because I'm fulfilling my dream of fighting for the world title. I've always wanted to at least try, but now I am going to do it, and I'm going to win. We are preparing very well for Marquez. I know that he has a lot of experience, but I have experience as well. I am convinced that I will win," Cuenca told Diario Abajo del Ring.

Early Signs of Inflammatory Breast Cancer
A Different Kind of Breast Cancer
A Different Kind of Breast Cancer
You may think of breast cancer as starting with a lump in the breast, but not every type of breast cancer does. Inflammatory breast cancer is a form of the disease that affects the skin of the breast. It's rare, accounting for only one to five percent of all breast cancer cases, according to the National Cancer Institute. Yet inflammatory breast cancer is also hard to diagnose, and it can spread very quickly and aggressively.
Skin Changes—Not Lumps
Skin Changes—Not Lumps
Normally in breast cancer, cancer cells form into a lump. Sometimes a woman can feel this lump during a breast self-exam, or a mammogram can detect it. Instead of clumping together in the breast, inflammatory breast cancer cells crowd into lymph vessels.
Lymph vessels are small channels that hold a liquid (lymph) that helps the body fight infections and filter out harmful substances. When cancer cells block the lymph nodes, they make the breast skin change color or texture.
Redness and Swelling
Redness and Swelling
Redness of the breast is the first sign women often notice in inflammatory breast cancer. In some women, the color turns a pink or purple shade. It can even resemble a big bruise. The color will cover one-third or more of the breast surface, and the area may feel sore or warm to the touch.
Looks Like an Infection
Looks Like an Infection
Redness and swelling are also signs of a breast infection called mastitis. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference, and women are diagnosed with an infection and given antibiotics when they actually have inflammatory breast cancer.
Treating the wrong condition can delay the care needed to treat breast cancer. Doctors can determine whether it's cancer by removing cells from the breast and examining them under a microscope during a biopsy.
Orange Skin
Orange Skin
Along with the color change, the skin of the breast may take on a different texture. It often looks pitted or ridged, like the peel of an orange. Sometimes this is called peau d'orange, which means "orange skin" in French.
The dimpled appearance is created when cancer cells block the lymph vessels under the skin, forming tiny bumps and ridges.
Quick Changes
Quick Changes
Inflammatory breast cancer is a fast-growing disease. Women who have this cancer will notice rapid changes—usually in one breast. The breast can change appearance and size in a matter of weeks.
One breast that grows quickly and becomes larger than the other breast can be a sign. The enlarged breast also might feel firmer and heavier than usual.
Inverted Nipple
Inverted Nipple
Some women have nipples that naturally turn inward from time to time. These are called inverted nipples, and they're usually nothing to worry about.
But only one inward-turned nipple or nipples that stay that way could be signs of inflammatory breast cancer. Your doctor should check out this symptom with a breast exam, mammogram, or biopsy to rule out breast cancer.
Swollen Lymph Nodes
Swollen Lymph Nodes
Lymph nodes are small, round structures that are part of the body's immune system. They're full of white blood cells and other infection-fighting cells. Usually when the lymph nodes are swollen, it's because you have an infection. Yet cancer also can cause swelling in these nodes. Women with inflammatory breast cancer will usually find swollen lymph nodes under their arm, or near the collarbone.
Get Checked Out
Get Checked Out
Symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer can mimic those of other conditions—especially infection. Often women don't realize they have this form of breast cancer until it has spread. Because this is a very fast-growing form of cancer, it's important to be alert to symptoms like redness, swelling, and inverted nipples. Make an appointment to see your doctor if you have these symptoms.

When the Lady Eagles of Canyon take the field today at Randall, they will be trying repeat a feat accomplished earlier this season.
Canyon had not beaten Randall in District 3-4A softball since 2006 until the Lady Eagles beat the Lady Raiders, 6-3, at Canyon earlier this year. This time, Lady Eagles will try to win the game at Randall.
''The second time is going to be a little tougher," Canyon coach Brady Schenk said. "It'll be a lot tougher probably, especially there. They've been playing really well against the teams the last few games. I think coach Scott has them to where they are not so nervous about district and really settled in to game time. They are going to be tough."
Schenk said it will be up to his offense to put the ball in play.
"We are going to need to come out and get hits, make plays and put some pressure on them," Schenk said. "I feel like if we can put pressure on them when they are on defense it will help us out tremendously and force them to make plays. We've been hitting the ball well all week in practice. As long as we can come to the game with focus and intensity, then we will play well."
Schenk said being undefeated in district puts a target on Canyon's back.
"People are going to be out to get us and they will be ready to play," Schenk said. "I think our girls are aware of that. They are ready to step up to that challenge. For us, there is just a lot of excitement every game. We've been up and ready and focused."
In District 1-2A action, Bushland, coming off coach Michael Rose's 200th win, takes on Sanford-Fritch at 4:30 p.m. today at Sanford-Fritch
"We're playing really well right now and looking to stay on a roll," Rose said. "Sanford-Fritch has always been a rough place for us to play so we know we've got bring our 'A' game if we hope to come away with a win. They're playing well too and won big in their district opener, so we expect a tough game."

You've found the front page of Tuning Into The Obscure! I know the date on this says May of 2011, but ignore that. Scroll down for new content.
And now, the obligatory front page bio stuff and contact info….
Over the past few years, I've been on a mission to find the best music on the planet, whether it be old, new, well known, obscure, underground or mainstream, or completely unknown previously. I started this project on an older, more personal blog but eventually figured it'd be easier to post all the music stuff here.
So here, you'll find reviews on a variety of genres as well as interviews with artists and labels, spotlights on musical history, band previews and other various ramblings. Occasionally, I may even slip in some bits of my own music.
Submissions and Contact Info:
If you're an artist/in a band or are a small label with some music you think the world should hear, contact me! Seriously, send me some tunes! Submissions are always welcome in all physical formats (please note that until further notice, digital downloads cannot be accepted due to tech issues). All genres are fair game. Please note that if you already have my mailing address, it has changed as of May 2012.

Do you belong?
In college, my friends used to jump on and off hormonal contraceptives like The Pill, NuvaRing, Yaz, and others based on the balancing of their monthly budget. Contraception was considered a luxury whether for the purpose of "safe sex", lighter or fewer menstrual cycles, less acne, bigger boobs, etc. Now, it's overwhelming that contraception has become the end all be all in women's lives.
Whereas a few years ago a girl would have to pay an insurance premium or fully out of pocket for hormonal contraception, now it's free. Heck, it can even be shipped to you for free in California.

Banana Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies.
Gluten-free Banana Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies made with wholesome, healthy ingredients. You won't miss the flour, butter, and added sugar!
Whole grain, gluten-free, vegan, no added refined sugar, no oil, no butter, 100% clean-eating. And yes, these cookies actually taste good. Don't believe me? I've made three batches in only 4 days.
The truth is, Kevin and I are both getting into training mode. He has a few bike races this spring and I recently signed up for a Baltimore 10K. We've both been exercising much more than usual, so these high energy cookies don't stand a chance in our house.
Anyone else out there running or biking a race this spring?
I consider these cookies one of the healthiest desserts I've ever baked.
"Healthy" is a relative term. What might be healthy to me may not be healthy to the next person. But in the cookie world? These are absolutely on the wholesome side.
The only ingredients you'll need to whip up a batch are oats, bananas, almond butter, pure maple syrup, and some dark chocolate chips. (Plus cinnamon and sliced almonds, both optional.) That's it. No butter, no refined sugar, no eggs, no flour. And trust me, you won't miss any of that stuff.
Naturally sweetened, pure simple goodness.
I call them breakfast cookies because they have serious staying power.
No lie, I ate one with some Greek yogurt and fruit yesterday morning and wasn't hungry again for hours. They'll keep you fueled, full, and satisfied.
They're dense, but not too heavy. Ultra thick, chewy, and incredibly soft without being cakey. Each bite is full of almond butter/banana flavors. The dark chocolate chips are an added bonus. And totally necessary.
You'll find yourself making these cookies often. Why? Besides their taste, they're so simple. Everything is mixed together in one bowl. Put everything into a bowl and mix it up until you have a very thick, sticky dough. Drop onto a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. That's it.
You could probably bake these cookies in your sleep. Though I wouldn't recommend it, it's entirely possible. I'm surprised I don't sleep-bake by now.
A few things to note about these banana chocolate chip breakfast cookies:
- Use homemade almond butter or storebought. If you don't want to use almond butter, use peanut butter. Natural or non-natural.
- Use ripe bananas. The riper, the more brown-speckled, the better your cookies will taste. Do not use previously frozen, thawed bananas. I've tried it and the results are not good.
- Leave out the sliced almonds if you prefer. Add your favorite dried fruits or nuts instead.
The cookie dough! I'm embarrassed how much I ate between all 4 batches. You might not even want to bake the actual cookies… so, consider yourself warned.
Also important: Just like my regular Breakfast Cookies – you will need to use quick oats, not old fashioned rolled oats in this recipe.
Why quick oats? Because quick oats are more powdery, more finely cut, and will soak up more of the wet ingredients – thus creating a workable dough. The quick oats will bind your dough together better than whole oats would.
If you don't have quick oats on hand, no worries! You can make your own. See the note at the bottom of the recipe.
What's the taste testers' verdict on these cookies? Well obviously I really love them. In all their naturally sweetened, wholesome glory.
But Kevin took a couple of these cookies to work and told me his coworkers said they tasted like my sugary, buttery chewy chocolate chunk cookies. Ha! I don't know how – they have almond butter, banana, and oats in them… but I'll take it!

Banana Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies
Yield: 10-11 cookies
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes, plus cooling
Gluten-free Banana Chocolate Chip Breakfast Cookies made with wholesome, healthy ingredients. You won't miss the flour, butter, and added sugar! Please use certified gluten free oats to assure cookies are GF. Use dairy-free chocolate chips to assure cookies are vegan.
- 2 and 1/3 cups (190g) quick oats1 (not whole oats)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup (250g) homemade or your favorite almond butter2
- 1/4 cup (82g) pure maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 large ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
- 1/3 cup (60g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- optional: 1/3 cup (33g) sliced almonds
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- Combine all of the ingredients into a large bowl. Using a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon, mix until all of the ingredients are thoroughly combined. The dough will be sticky and thick.
- Each cookie will be 3 Tablespoons of dough. Drop this amount onto prepared cookie sheet and slightly flatten the tops into desired thickness. The cookies will not spread in the oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes until edges are very slightly brown. Don't bake any longer or the cookies will taste dry. Allow to cool on the cookie sheets completely. Cookies stay fresh at room temperature for 1 week.
- Make ahead tip: Cookies can be frozen up to 3 months, then thawed overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.
Additional Notes:
- Be sure to use quick oats in this recipe. Quick oats are more finely ground up whole oats, so they are slightly powdery. They are sold right next to the whole oats. You may not even notice there are two kinds of oats in the first place! You may make quick oats at home - simply measure 2 and 1/3 cups of whole oats and pulse in the blender or food processor about 5 times.
- You can use your favorite peanut butter (or soy nut butter, sunflower seed butter) instead of almond butter. For peanut butter: Homemade honey roasted, creamy, crunchy, natural (non-oily) or non-natural are all OK.

Q: What do you listen to when you run/workout?
When I run outside, I don't listen to any music. But during these cold winter months when it's dipping below 20 degrees (last week it was 5), I hit the treadmill. And when I'm on the hamster wheel, I need some tunes to stay sane.
Some favorites:
- Triple Double by Girl Talk – I like all his music, especially his All Day album
- Young Blood by The Naked & Famous
- I Know The Truth by Pretty Lights (only if you like electronic music!)
- Pursuit Of Happiness (Extended Steve Aoki Remix) by Kid Cudi (old song, but this particular remix is great)
- Better Things by Passion Pit
- Zero by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
- Electric Feel by MGMT
- Scars by Basement Jaxx
- Renegade by Styx (can't beat this classic)
- Flux by Bloc Party
Please share some of your favorites! I'm always looking for new tunes when I workout.

Hi Sally,
These cookies are great for my 16 year old son's early morning football workouts, but I'm wondering if you could suggest any way to add MORE calories to them without really altering the taste too much-(he's not a huge seed guy so this cookie makes him feel like he's indulging). I tend to follow recipes exactly because I'm not that great of a baker, so I'd love to lean on you to help me fatten him up…
These turned out great! I wasn't expecting them to bake up so firmly after having made several batches of the plain banana and oats cookies, which end up being a little floppy (but those are basically just me trying to trick myself to stop craving real cookies). These will be great to hand off to my boyfriend who often gets so busy at work that he forgets to eat, and he needs the calories. Thanks for another keeper!
Hi Sally,
I baked this recipe for the first time but found out that it was very (too) soft and the test is quite bland. I left it out to cool on the baking try but it is still soft. I'm not sure what's wrong during my process or does it taste this way.
Ps. I've baked many of ur recipes and it came out delicious everyone loved it! 🙂
OMG Sally! I'm in love with your recipes. I love baking but have 0 talent to invent something. SO I follow your recipes to a T and they come out amazing!! I made these cookies today and I'm baffled at how wonderful they taste. My kids loved it and I'm sure I'll have to make many more of those very soon. Thank you!!
Sally these cookies are amazing as a new mom whose breastfeeding and always hungry there perfect for one handed on the go snack i have made em a couple times now and added things like craisins, raisins, pumpkin seeds, almonds, pecans etc to make em even more filling and they always turn out amazing!
Thanks for another amazing recipe!!!
I love you website. I have been pulling recipes for months and the never disappoint. Made these today. Used peanut butter, coconut, dried plum (from my tree) instead of chocolate chip. For my teenage boys who always run late in the morning, this will keep them going until lunch. Thanks for all the fun recipes.

Baird Bureiko Jikan Golden Ale
RATINGS: 44 WEIGHTED AVG: 3.22/5 SEASONAL: Spring EST. CALORIES: 255 ABV: 8.5%
In Japanese, "Bureiko Jikan" is the time when the chains of hierarchy and conformity break away and real feelings, without the threat of recrimination, get expressed. This is an occasion normally facilitated by an alcohol lubricant. Baird Beers contribution to the facilitation of this important moment comes in the form of a dangerously quaffable, fruitily robust and outrageously delicious Belgian-inspired golden ale. A Belgian-style golden ale is a beer typified by the following: magnificent golden hue, spritzy fruitiness, champagne-like natural carbonation, and a dry, cleansing alcohol accented finish. The granddaddy of all Belgian golden ales is, of course, Duvel (a beer close to our heart). This beer represents our starting point. A tradition of originality, though, resonates in Belgian brewing history and we are not slavish imitators at Baird Beer. The chief difference between a Belgian golden ale and Baird Bureiko Jikan Golden Ale resides in yeast and hop usage: whereas the defining character of the former stems from the yeast, the characteristic essence of Bureiko Jikan is derived from the hops (ample quantities of noble-type American hops).

THIS IS NOT DBAF !!!THIS IS NOT SSJ5/6/7 etc !!! THIS IS MY OWN STORY!!! I got inspired to do an "Evil Goku" when I saw a pic of Goku (on Google) in witch he had blue hair and black eyes. The thing with the earing (read below) was all my idea (i don't say that i'm the only one with this idea), even if some idiots say something else. Story: Goku becomes like this because he puts the "evil earing". When fighting an alien he is tricked by Babidi's brother (haven't though about a name), who told him to put the earing (Babidi's brother looks like the Supreme Kai.....illusion) but when Goku puts the earing on he is under Babidi's brother control.(Oh, and Goku and Vegeta's tails were cut off, so they cant transform in ssj4). Eventually, Goku is killed along with SSJ3 Vegeta, when the earth blows up, after a "Kamehameha vs Final Flash". To be continued... Edited with MS Paint and WMM. Song: Black Sabbath- Iron Man
