The exact words(phrase)
Anton Lund (1864–1945)
Lund was first mate on the Gjøa 1903-06.
Anton Lund was born 13 February 1864 in Tromsø. His parents were Arnt and Sara Lund (b. Tøllefsen). At 12 years of age he went to sea for the first time, with the sloop Lykkens prøve north to Finnmark. Altogether he had 25 voyages to Arctic seas and he became an experienced skipper and harpooner. The ships he sailed with were the ketch Mathilde, the sloops Ingeborg and Tromsdalstinden, and the Svanen of Hammerfest. Tromdalstinden was wrecked by Bussesundet near Vardø during a storm.
For some years Lund was manager of Joh. Rye Holmboe's fish oil business in Tromsø before he in 1903-06 participated as 1st mate on Roald Amundsen's expedition with the Gjøa through the Northwest Passage. On return home he and the other crew members were made knights of St Olav's Order.
Lund was the first lighthouse keeper at Skalmen lighthouse in 1907-1912. He had with him a sledge dog from the Gjøa expedition and its tracks can be seen in the cement by the lighthouse. This is a coastal lighthouse which stands outside Smøla in Møre and Romsdal. In 1912 Lund moved to Ørsvaag lighthouse in Vågan county in Nordland. The lighthouse had been established 1 January 1862 and was a harbour lighthouse. It was closed down and replaced by a sector light in 1951. In 1918 Lund was moved to Nærøsund.
Lund married Marie (1862-1935) 4 June 1887 at Dyrø in Troms. They had three children; one of the sons went abroad as an engineer and a daughter moved to Stavanger. The other son had a career in the military. Anton and Marie are both buried in Harstad.
"Victory awaits him, who has everything in order - luck we call it. Defeat is definitely due for him, who has neglected to take the necessary precautions - bad luck we call it"
Roald Amundsen

The Fountain of Youth in A Syringe?
Unlike our old baby-oil applying days, we now know that protecting our skin from the sun's harsh rays is right up there with eating right and a good night's sleep.
Growing up in Arizona, I can tell you from experience that the sun feels good on your skin. Although I am no longer a sun worshiper, I am now beginning to see the long-term effects of my fun days in the sun.
One of the main side effects of sun exposure, short or long term, is wrinkling. Wrinkles are a natural occurrence with aging as the skin becomes drier, thinner and loses elasticity. If one has had sun exposure early on in life, wrinkles can become prominent and noticeable.
While genes play a part in your intrinsic aging, or the natural process of aging, a sunburned face exposed to the sun can make wrinkles much more prominent than someone who has had years of sun protection. Facial wrinkles make you look a lot older--look at Elaine Stritch.
An incredible amount of new research about the causes of wrinkles has become accessible over the last decade, and dramatic improvements in injectable fillers have helped tens of millions of men and women look and feel more beautiful.
Medical Intervention
When I recently had questions about Botox, I went to one of NYC's most celebrated plastic surgeons, Dr. Robert B. Jetter MD (737 Park Avenue). Jetter has three decades of experience, and offers a host of skin-related solutions, including wrinkle reduction services, such as Botox, Juvederm, and Restylane.
Many guys I know have no intention of messing with the effects of Father Time. Not me: I say show me what I can do to look my best.
All About Botox
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that 5.4 million botulinum toxin type A (such as Botox) procedures were performed last year in North America alone, representing a 12 percent year-over-year increase.
Botox is used most frequently on the upper third of the face: crow's feet, forehead and frown lines between the brows. But many dermatologists are getting more creative with the product; they're using it "off label" to give knees, the nose, the stomach, and even breasts a lift. It's also good for delicate changes such as lifting the eyelid by a few millimeters, which can be tricky with surgery.
If you want good results, you've got to go to a licensed physician--like me. Like Dr. Jetter, make sure that your skincare professional is injecting Botox all day long. The procedure demands an understanding - and appreciation - of facial structure and underlying muscles. Even though everyone is working with the same material, the results can differ widely (just compare Nicole Kidman's face to Jocelyn Wildenstein's).
When done well, the procedure is virtually undetectable, simply leaving you looking "refreshed." Industry insiders claim that the perma-surprised expression that's provided a decade's worth of punchlines is the province of patients who've had poor doctors. It's as if a car goes into a wall; it's not the car's fault, it's the driver.
Ultimately, if you're going to try Botox, keep your expectations realistic. It isn't going to make you look 10 years younger. But used appropriately, it can make you look like a more relaxed, well-rested version of yourself.

I have yet to give my son a bottle, but he sleeps so long at night that I started pumping an ounce or two off each breast when I wake up in the morning. That way I'm more comfortable until he gets up and I don't spray him in the face. I've also noticed it's hard for him to latch when I'm that engorged. Even though I haven't given him a bottle, I can see the benefit of storing and freezing milk for an emergency. My question is since I"m only pumping for a minute or two on each side and the milk comes out very fast, is this milk most foremilk? Should I even save it? I'm using a manual pump, the one that comes with the kit for the medela hospital grade pump.
I don't know if this is important but my son is 10 weeks old tomorrow and was 12 lbs 3 oz at his checkup last week.

Reattached motor and then reinstalled assembly to drum and clutch (installed new clutch lining at this time as well).
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Farly easy repair, once I figured out the problem. The clutch assebly plastic part broke (over 15 yrs old), which is the part that engages the drum for the spin cycle. Following the very helpful diagram on Part Select, I removed the agitator cap and bolt from inside the agitator assembly, and pulled the assembly out of the drum. Then I put the washer on its side and removed the three bolts and two hose claps that hold the motor assembly. I pulled the motor assembly along with the drive shaft out to access the clutch/brake assembly area, removed the broken plastic drive piece and re-assembled.
I removed three bolts from the transmission and two clips that hold the motor to the drive gear. I replaced the brake cam that had cracked and the lining. Now it works great ! Ordered part on Friday before two and it came Saturday at four.
I pulled back off machine. A real pain. Not something you have to do although once the back is off, the whole cabinet just lifts off. Idealy: Remove agitator and reatiner clip, lay washer on it's side or face, Remove electrical connector form motor, remove two hoses from pump, (motor can be remove easily from transmission if desired. It's lighter), remove three 1/2" bolts, lift transmission w/clutch assembly out. Pay attention to orientation of flat washer and clip (remove). The cluch band is indside the silver cover. Pich together with pliers to relieve tension and lift out. There are three while pads that wear away and glaze over when they get too hot from slipping. Reassemble. Ths is from memory so I hope I didn't forget anything. Time to do it this way would probably only be 45 minutes.
Unplugged the appliance. turned off inlet water and removed hoses. popped the cap off hiding the bolt that keeps the agitator in place and pulled the agitator off. tipped the washer on its front . disconnected the Wire harness. removed the 3 bolts that hold the pump, motor,clutch, (drive assembly in other words). pulled the Drive assembly out of its resting spot removed the bad clutch and replaced it with the new one. then reassembled in reverse order.

Making sure family members are safe and ready to evacuate if necessary seems like an obvious preparation.
For many people, pets are part of the family too.
One of the best ways to keep that pet a member of the family is to have it micro-chipped. This makes a reunion more likely if the pet gets away during the storm. The cost is between $40 and $50.
Also have a current picture of the pet and keep a collar on them at all times.
If you are putting pets in a shelter during the storm, check with the facility in advance to make sure there is room and that all the particulars they require are ready to go. A lot of facilities are first-come-first-served.

BURLINGTON, Ky. -- Three Kentucky men charged with torturing, kidnapping, killing and dismembering another man told deputies they wanted to "rid the world of the evil in it," said Boone County (Ky.) Sheriff's deputies.
On Wednesday, authorities said Daniel Delfin, 19, of Walton, Ky., was beaten and strangled before being cut up with a machete and possibly a saw.
The three men were arrested Tuesday as detectives were investigating Delfin's disappearance, said Tom Scheben, a spokesman for the Boone County Sheriff's office. Walton, in northern Kentucky, is about 21 miles south of Cincinnati.
Delfin was killed Jan. 9, authorities said. His torso and legs were left in a field in Verona, Ky., while his head, arms and feet were thrown in a dumpster.
Delfin was a suspected heroin dealer, Scheben said.
His sister reported him missing Sunday, but by that time, deputies say, he was already dead.
The three men, Jeffrey Allen, 21, of Verona, Anthony Baumgartner, 23, of Florence, Ky., and Stephen Harkness, 22, of Verona, are scheduled to appear in court Thursday. According to court records, they are all represented by the public defender's office.
Boone Sheriff's deputies say the trio admitted to killing the man because they were trying to rid the world of evil.
"They were going to rid the world, perhaps one person at a time, of the evil in it," Scheben said.
The three men under "a ruse of a drug deal with this individual met with him, kidnapped him, beat him, killed him and dismembered him," he said.
As detectives were searching for Delfin on Monday, they received a tip that the three men were involved in his death, Scheben said.
Once in custody the men talked to detectives.
"One of them a little more than the other two," he said. "But then they started adding to it."
On Monday night, detectives searched a field next to a home where Allen lived with his mother. Detectives found the torso, which had a tattoo matching one that the missing man was known to have.
After learning that some of the parts had been taken to a dumpster, 10 to 12 deputies searched the Rumpke Landfill in Pendleton County, Ky., hoping to find more of the victim's remains. Nothing was found Tuesday and detectives do not plan to return to the landfill, Scheben said.
Authorities will not need the other parts to make a positive identification, but deputies were hoping to be able to return Delfin's body to his family, he said.
"We wanted to provide some closure to the family," he said.
Detectives believe that Delfin was beaten at one location, then driven to the field where he was beaten again and strangled. The trio then used a machete to cut up the body. Detectives also recovered a reciprocating saw blade nearby and are investigating whether it was also used to cut up the body.
Only one of the three suspects have a criminal record.
One month after his 18th birthday, Baumgartner was arrested on drug charges in Campbell County, Ky., according to state court records. In March 2007, he was charged with first degree possession of cocaine, possession of another drug which was not specified and possession of drug paraphernalia. One of the drug possession charges and the paraphernalia charge were dismissed. The cocaine charge was amended, but court records to do not show the disposition.
In March 2009, Baumgartner pleaded guilty to theft by unlawful taking in Kenton County, Ky., and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and two years probation. Also in 2009, he was charged with carrying a concealed weapon in Campbell County; the charge was later dismissed.
According to their Facebook pages, both Harkness and Allen are former Marines.

Maddy had a growth rod fitted in November 2007 when she was 7 years old. This controlled her curve adequately for 3 years but during the last year her curve worsened, her rib hump became extremely pronounced and her rod broke under the strain of her curve which had become rigid. The only way of achieving a satisfactory correction was for Maddy to undergo Anterior Release surgery (where flexibility is restored to the spine by removing the discs between the vertebrae within the curve) and to spend two weeks in traction on a Stryker Frame before Spinal Fusion surgery.
On 11th May Maddy underwent her Anterior Release surgery. Because of the size of her rib hump she also had an Internal Costoplasty which involves breaking some of the ribs to enable a cosmetically better outcome in the final surgery. When Maddy came round in the Recovery Room she found it hard to breathe and she had to have an emergency xray to see what the cause was. It was the location of the chest drain which was wrong so this had to be moved around to find the right place to effectively drain the fluid. This was painful, as was the xray as the plate had to be forcibly pushed under her back.
She slept on and off for the next 12 hours on her back, after which it was time for her first turn on the Stryker Frame. I had been told that the first turn is always the worst and it was. She was clamped in between the two mattresses screaming and when she emerged the other way up she was in agony for a good hour afterwards. One of the nurses checked her back and I was surprised at how the rib hump still looked huge and covered in bloodied dressings. I was under the impression that her back would look different after the first surgery and I was a bit worried that it didn't. Particularly as Maddy doesn't sleep on her back because of the hump, yet on the Stryker Frame she would have no choice but to lie on her back for half the time.
This is the Stryker Frame:
The patient wears a halo which is attached to the head with four screws – two at the front and two at the back. On two occasions the screws had to be tightened but this was not painful at all. There are also stirrup-like things which are attached at the knees with pins. The pins hurt sometimes after turning when her legs moved too close together and they had to be gently moved apart. When she came out of surgery there were about 3lb of weights at each end. Most days 1lb would be added to each end and the frame had to be turned every 2-3 hours to stop pressure sores. When she was face up the only thing she could do was listen to audio books as she couldn't see the television, but when she was face down she could read and make things and there was a mirror that people could look into to have a conversation with her.
Being turned:
Two days after the surgery Mr Tucker came and said that the surgery had been straightforward. As an xray taken earlier that day showed a small pleural effusion he asked for the chest drain to be put on suction and then removed the following day. The blessed thing was bubbling all night, so I lay back and tried to imagine I was in a spa! The next day the chest drain did come out, after which Maddy began to feel much better. She even let one of the nurses decorate her halo.
A couple of days later we were in a routine of physiotherapy for half an hour in the morning, followed by an hour of school (one of the Hospital School teachers came and did a project with Maddy while she was facing down), followed by lunch (eaten face down) and then craft activities for an hour with the Play Specialist.
Maddy playing with the ipad:
Eating was difficult. Not only was she not very hungry due to surgery, but when she did have an appetite she would eat and feel full very quickly. You can eat on your back but she didn't like to because she felt like she was going to choke.We did have a couple of instances of vomiting, once face down and once face up. The latter I was dreading but it was fine, the nurse helped with suction and she didn't choke although it was very messy!
It was only during the last four days of traction that it seemed any progress was made regarding Maddy's curve straightening out and on the last two days they added 2lb to each end instead of 1lb. By the time she was wheeled into the second surgery she had 20lb on each end! I could hardly lift them! She didn't notice weights being added. It just goes to show what you can achieve if you take it slowly. Saying that though she did suffer pain every day she was on the frame. It wasn't very much pain and was usually in her rib hump towards the time when she should be turned. The turning was a bit hit and miss depending on who was on duty. She was occasionally left for over 4 hours but it was usually between 2-3 hours. Her knees used to get red and sore when she was on her front but they put soft padding on them to help with that.
Thirteen days after the first surgery Maddy went down for her Spinal Fusion. This involved a further costoplasty and an awesome correction. She was discharged a week later. The only difference her time on the Stryker Frame has made to her recovery is that her knees are very weak, having been pinned in one position for so long. She has lost an awful lot of weight and has gained 11.2cm in height, so she looks very tall and frail but with the posture of a ballerina!

3 more election fraud cases filed in Iowa

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says it issued a citation to appear in court for 28-year-old Tehvedin Murgic, of Clive. The DCI says he is a citizen of Bosnia and registered and voted on Nov. 2, 2010.
Murgic's attorney did not immediately return a call.
Arrest warrants were issued for Laurie McCarroll, 66, and Leonard Blower, 53, both of Shenandoah. The DCI says they are Canadian citizens who registered and voted in a school election in September 2011. The DCI says it believes they are no longer living in the United States.
Their cases were not listed on Iowa online court records.

Dr Schultz's research involves developing a detailed understanding of differences in cancer cell metabolism and cell surface antigen expression - and exploiting these differences to develop novel image-guided therapies for cancer - with a focus on metastatic melanoma. This research focuses on differences in mitochondrial oxidative metabolism of metastatic melanoma cells relative to normal cells, which leads to identifiable metastatic-melanoma cell characteristics and antigen expression, which can be targeted for image-guided therapies using peptides and small molecules. The Schultz lab specializes in identifying these unique cancer-cell specific characteristics and synthesizing small molecules and peptides that target them for image-guided therapy for cancer. Within this context, the Schultz lab has identified and submitted provisional patents for a new class of cancer therapy drugs that target specific mitochondrial targets for therapy of metastatic melanoma. The Schultz lab has further identified two cell surface targets and accompanying peptide and small molecule targeting ligands that can be used for imaged-guided targeted radionuclide therapy for metastatic melanoma and is advancing these compounds toward clinical trials.

Beverage tax has several benefitsMarch 14,2013
I am writing in support of the beverage tax proposed in the Legislature. I have three reasons for this position.
The first is that studies have shown that sugar-sweetened beverages have a negative impact on health and have been shown to be a major contributor to childhood obesity. The Rudd Center at Yale University has studied the tax issue and recommends that the per-ounce tax is the most productive in helping consumers make better choices and providing needed revenue for health initiatives, such as our own Catamount Health Care (http://www.yaleruddcenter.org/resources/upload/docs/what/reports/Rudd_Policy_Brief_Sugar_Sweetened_Beverage_Taxes.pdf).
The second reason I am in favor of this tax is to level the playing field between healthy and unhealthy food products. One of the reasons the price of soda is so low is because of federal subsidies to corn producers. These subsidies should end or be provided to all farmers so prices can be competitive. Low-income Vermonters may choose unhealthy products because of their artificially low price but then suffer negative health effects. If these products were competitively priced, then choosing healthy alternatives would be an equal option.
The third reason I am in support of the tax is that I believe we should balance the needs of industry to make a profit with the needs of our community to live healthy and productive lives. My understanding is that the general manager of Coca-Cola of Northern New England testified in the Legislature that this tax would negatively impact his Colchester-based business. I believe he should take that concern to Muhtar Kent, the CEO of Coca-Cola, not the consumers here in Vermont. Mr. Kent received $26 million in compensation last year, according to USA Today. I dont believe the proposed tax would prevent Coca-Cola or any other beverage company from continuing to do very well. It did not put the tobacco or alcohol industries out of business. I recognize that some of these issues come down to philosophical differences in the role taxation can play in balancing the needs of the community with the ability of industry to be profitable. I would ask everyone to do their own research before deciding whether to support the beverage tax.

The agenda for the Aug. 12 City Council meeting included an item that would have allowed the mayor to make appointments, but Carabajal was not at the meeting because of an illness in his family.
The BHA board has been experiencing some changes recently with some of the existing board members not being reappointed and other members resigning.
According to the information available at the office of City Secretary Barbara Treviño, board member Fred Morón resigned his seat on the board on July 1.
Board member Gary Cude resigned the following day.
Carabajal appointed Jessy Garza and Dr. John Hardwick to the board on July 24. The mayor said that he chose those two to serve on the board based on past managerial experience.
Garza had served on the board of trustees for the Beeville Independent School District and has been the director of the city's Women, Infants and Children program. Hardwick retired as the district's superintendent.
On Aug. 8, Carabajal appointed Kenneth Elsbury and Teresa Holland to positions on the board.
Treviño said one of two appointments to the board must be filled by a tenant representative. She said she had been told that the BHA staff has authorized tenants of the authority to apply for the board position.
Board appointments were part of a report released on Aug. 1 by the Office of the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The report indicated that the authority had not been holding regular board meetings.
The report was released following a recent audit by the office in Fort Worth. In it, the administration of the authority was criticized for not following policy in reimbursing travel expenses, salary increases and other financial decisions over a two-year period.
Auditors listed a total of $75,583 in questioned costs during that two-year period.
Beeville's mayor has the sole authority to remove or appoint members to the BHA's five-member board. Board members are then responsible for overseeing the executive director's operation.
BHA Executive Director Viola Salazar-Maldonado has not commented on the findings of the auditors.
Gary Kent is a reporter at the Bee-Picayune and can be reached at 343-5220, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.


text: Does this sound really weird? My DS just turned 5 mo old and we'll be starting solids next month. I am feeling sad about it. I think I feel like it is the beginning of the end of BF. I fully plan on BF until he's ready to wean, so at least until a year or so, but I just think it will be different because I won't be his only food source. Like he won't need me. I think part of it is due to the fact that I had to EP and supplement for 2 months, so when I finally got him back to the breast and off supplements, it was so amazing for me. But I still feel like we lost out on 2 months of EBF. I know he'll love solids because he's already very interested when we're eating and he's tried to grab our food and drinks. I guess I just am curious if anyone else felt this way and how others BF relationships changed when they started solids. Thanks!!

"The Unnoticed Oil Revolution"
A research update from Geopolitics of Energy fellow, Leonardo Maugeri
February 22, 2012
Author: Leonardo Maugeri, Senior Fellow, Geopolitics of Energy Project
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Geopolitics of Energy Project
An unprecedented investment boom in oil exploration and development, along with the innovative application of once expensive technologies, seem bound to deliver surprising results in terms of oil future production growth. Not only do these results make void any peak-oil theory, but they might even provoke a relevant overproduction wave in this decade, leading to a significant price downturn. Yet, this potential revolution is quite unnoticed, because of a general bias concerning the oil endowment of our planet, a constant underestimation of demand growth and oilfields depletion rates, as well as a steady underestimation of supply potential.
This research tries to dispel these points by focusing on a critical assessment of: 1) field-by-field analysis of all projects underway in the most relevant countries in terms of production growth to 2020; 2) oil depletion rates, as calculated by several, influential sources; 3) the oil price-level and the other most relevant factors (geopolitics, political decisions, etc.) that may affect production growth in this decade. Moreover, a special, detailed focus is devoted to assess the geological, economic, and technical realities which support the development of U.S. shale oil, that may represent the biggest new oil frontier in many decades and a real paradigm-changer.
The results of this research will later be analyzed in terms of potential impact on the oil market, oil geopolitics, other energy sources, and environmental/climate change public policies.

Last column I mentioned I was experimenting with one of the ideas put forth by Rene Harrop in his book, "Learning from the Water." This is a book to read and then reread. A number of Mr. Harrop's observations will cause the reader to stop and think. One such instance is his chapter on leaders. I usually tie my leaders to be nine or 10 feet in length. Both Bonnie and Rene Harrop use leaders from 14 to 18 feet in length. He suggests that at first you try a leader 14 feet in length. He writes that, "most who can handle a 10-foot leader will experience little difficulty adapting to this longer length, assuming they are fishing the right taper." Pay attention to his last four words. Ha, it is easy for a flyfisher as skillful as Rene Harrop to write those words. I imagined that if I were to attempt to use such a long leader it would probably wind up draped around my cowboy hat. Then again, perhaps it would not. There was only one way to find out.
In the book, Mr. Harrop gives us the various dimensions that would make a leader 14 feet long. I tied up a leader staying as close to his dimensions as possible. Lord, that leader was long. I went out to the lawn to cast my leader. It would be kind to say that the results were merely disastrous. At least I did not drape it around my Stetson. Discouraged, but not defeated, I sat down to think. Mr. Harrop prefers a four weight, medium fast graphite rod, nine feet in length. He casts a double taper plastic fly line. I had been using an eight-foot bamboo fly rod, with a five weight silk line. Hmmm, suppose I discarded his dimensions and used my successful 10-foot leader formula? Aha! Lengthen the butt section and tweak the mid section, but keep the ultra short fast step downs to the tippet section. My 14-foot leader dimensions are considerably different from Mr. Harrop's. Once out on the lawn, I was delighted to discover that my leader was not difficult to cast and turned over perfectly. I was able to easily send the little orange practice fly 40, 50 or even 60 feet. Would the same results hold if my leaders were 15 or 16 feet long? You just know I have to find out the answer to that question.
If you are using a five weight, plastic fly line, the following recipe should work for you. If not, tweak it a bit. First, 16" of .016, 84" of .020, 6" of .018, 6" of .016, 6" of .013, 6" of .012, 6" of .010, 8" of .008 and finally 30" of .006. To finish with .005, adjust the 30" of .006. The trick is to finish with 168" of leader. How you get there is up to you. Keep in mind I am fishing bamboo rods and double taper silk lines. If the "tangler" can cast a 14-foot leader, you should certainly be able to do so. Don't believe me? Try it yourself.
Next column, I will report on the three day gathering of the bamboo rod makers at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum. No, I do not intend to buy another bamboo fly rod. My father, who seemed to grow smarter as I grew older, used to tell me, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Fats tenderize, provide flavor, help bind ingredients together and produce browning in baked goods. The main types of fats used in baking are:
- Butter: Sweet flavored and made from cream, butter is available salted or unsalted in 1-pound blocks, quarter-pound (1/2-cup) sticks and whipped in tubs. Butter is interchangeable with margarine in most recipes, but butter is recommended for candy, puff pastry, pound cake, shortbread, streusel toppings and croissants. If whipped butter is used, it should be measured by weight, not volume; 8 ounces of whipped butter equals 1 cup.
- Butter-margarine blends: These blends of 60% margarine and 40% butter are available in sticks and tubs.
- Margarine: This is made from a variety of vegetable oils, including corn and soybean. Margarine is available in sticks, in tubs and whipped. Because whipped and tub margarine are softer and contain a higher percentage of air, only stick margarine should be used in baking. Margarine is interchangeable with butter in most recipes. If you do elect to use a true margarine, your rolled cookie dough, for instance, will be softer than if you use butter. You may need to chill it in the freezer to make it workable.
- Lard: Lard is pork fat that has been processed and refined. It is softer and oilier than butter or margarine and creates a flaky texture in biscuits and pie crusts.
- Reduced-calorie or low-fat butter or margarine: These products contain at least 20% less fat than regular butter or margarine and have water and air added. THEY SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR BAKING. Any margarine-like product that has less than 80% vegetable oil or fat can make your baked goods soggy or rock-hard.
- Vegetable oils: These oils are low in saturated fat, contain no cholesterol and are pressed from a variety of seeds or kernels such as canola, corn, safflower, sunflower and soybean. They are referred to as oil in our recipes and are interchangeable. Olive oil should not be used in baking unless specified in the recipe.
- Vegetable shortening: This solid fat is made from vegetable oils that have been processed with air. Shortening is practically flavorless. It also is available in butter flavor. Our recipes call for "shortening."

No shortage of ideas for Marble Museum's futureVyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Residents and interested parties meet Monday to discuss the future of the Vermont Marble Museum.
PROCTOR The Vermont Marble Museum one of the states major tourist attractions is likely to take on an expanded role in the future that involves a more active role in the community thats the birthplace of the marble industry in the state.
At the first of two community meetings Monday, Proctor residents and interested parties turned out to weigh in on the museums future under its new owner, The Preservation Trust of Vermont.
Ideas included film and speaking engagements, and collaborations with other groups.
At the very end of last year, The Preservation Trust of Vermont purchased a large portion of the museums collection, raising $250,000 in a few months to meet an end of the year deadline.
Now, the Trust is seeking public input from Proctor residents as it tries to raise another $480,000 to purchase the 96,000-square-foot building that houses the collection from Martin and Marsha Hemm.
The Hemms were no longer interested in running the for-profit museum that houses the history of the Vermont Marble Company. They were ready to put the museum and collection up for sale and that greatly concerned the Preservation Trust.
We were really concerned the museum collection would be sold off piecemeal and disappear, Emily Wadhams, a Trust consultant and director of the Historic Places Revolving Fund, told the early meeting of 20 people at the Proctor Free Library. Our goal is to keep the museum intact, in Proctor and in Vermont because of the significance of the Vermont Marble Company to Vermont history (and) national history.
The Trusts purchase also included the museum gift shop and several thousand glass negatives that chronicled the history of the Vermont Marble Company.
The Trust is serving as the interim owner until it can find and transfer ownership of the collection to a permanent nonprofit organization.
Of concern to several in the audience, including Jim Davidson of the Rutland Historical Society, was the future of the paper archives and the library of stone samples from around the world.
Will that potentially remain with a Vermont institution, Davidson asked.
But Paul Bruhn, the Trusts executive director, said because the Trust was unable to come up with an additional $150,000, the Hemms are negotiating the sale of the archives, the paper history of the Vermont Marble Company, to an out-of-state university.
He said the Trust is hopeful that a digital copy or some other arrangement will be worked out to make the archives available to the museum.
The Vermont Marble Museum has been a seasonal tourist attraction and will remain so. But the goal is for the museum to take a more active role in the community.
Our interest and our goal is to connect the museum with the community, said Ann Cousins, the Trusts field service and major gifts coordinator.
Proctor Junior-Senior High School is planning an active role in the museum, one that includes an ongoing rotating exhibit, said Principal Adam Rosenberg.
Rep. David Potter, who represents Proctor, suggested that the Carving Studio, would make a perfect fit as the museums permanent owner.
Theres a logical connection between whats going in Proctor and whats going in West Rutland, that would be advantageous to both, Potter said, referring to the West Rutland home of the Carving Studio .
But Bruhn said he thought the Carving Studio was focused on its own mission and was disinclined to take over the museum.
Contacted after the meeting, Ann Driscoll, the Carving Studios executive director, said her board of directors would make a decision when they meet Friday. However, Driscoll indicated that a more likely scenario would be some kind of collaboration with the museum rather than an outright purchase.
In kicking around ideas, Bruhn said a future exhibit might feature the role that Vermont marble played in the construction of buildings and monuments in Washington, D.C.
Just having an exhibit on that the buildings in the capital that have Vermont marble would be a fascinating exhibit, he said.
June Wilson, who leases space in the Vermont Marble building for her marble fabricating business, liked the idea of bringing in speakers to talk about their experience working for the Vermont Marble Company. She said that could help create additional interest in the museum.
The Preservation Trust has raised $125,000 toward the $480,000 needed to purchase the building by the end of the year.
Its going to be a challenge, Bruhn said.
Phil Keyes of Brandon said linking the museums marble heritage with other stone industries in the state, including slate and granite would help raise awareness.
If we could just get that word out in terms of the importance of the marble industry, and link that to the granite industry, the Slate Valley industry, there are connections there that might help, Keyes said.
A woman in the audience suggested that given the number of buildings and monuments in the nations capital built with Vermont marble, the states congressional delegation might be able to help.
But Bruhn said funding that congressional earmarks once provided have gone away, unfortunately.

The pitch meeting is what gets all of your favorite things off the ground. In those meetings, creators have to sell their ideas so well that a studio or publisher is then willing to devote tons of money to bringing it to life. In order to convince decision-making executives, sometimes creators fib a little to seal the deal. Other times they tell massive lies to get their way. These are some of those lies.
4 Lost
ABC Studios
Before Game of Thrones threw way too many characters onto your TV screen, and before American Horror Story was a weekly parade of snake-venom-induced night terrors, there was Lost -- the show that paved the way for a lot of today's genre TV. It was ambitious. It just wasn't pitched that way. Lost was pitched with lie after lie in order to convince ABC executives that the show could be long lasting. What were some of the lies in the 27-page pitch document written by J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof?
ABC Studios
"That the show wouldn't be gaaaaaaayyyy!!1" said the sharp-witted IMDb forum poster.
1) The show would not be serialized. "Self-contained. Seriously. We promise," they wrote. "This is not lip service -- we are absolutely committed to this conceit," they continued. -- Ha! Nope.
2) Everything on the show would have a concrete scientific explanation. -- That's iffy as fuck.
3) "There is no 'Ultimate Mystery' which requires solving." -- Take the ultimate mystery out of the plot of Lost and you don't have a plot on Lost.
4) The mystery of the Smoke Monster would be revealed in "the first few episodes." -- It took six seasons.
Lindelof and Abrams didn't know what the show was yet. They say as much themselves on the first page of the document: "The greatest architect in the world can draw up a blueprint for a building, but construction is a whole new ball of wax."
The problem with that metaphor is that ABC asked for the blueprint after they started construction. For starters, the show was rushed to pilot, it was the most expensive pilot episode ever at that point, and it wasn't until the pilot was being filmed that someone at ABC realized that no one had any clue what this show would be like a few seasons down the line, or even by the second episode. ABC execs were afraid the show would end up mired in mythology like Alias was at the time. So Lindelof and Abrams wrote this document to make ABC happy, but never intended to follow it. According to Lindelof, "By the time we started breaking the first two episodes, it was already very clear to everyone in the room that the document that we had written to get the show picked up was going to be completely and totally null and void."
ABC Studios
"Run! We'll figure out why later!"
But why were they able to get away with it? Because of the average 15.69 million viewers per episode during the first season. Because the first season won an Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. Because from day one, Lost was a cultural phenomenon that happened just as we collectively discovered that we can use the Internet and DVRs to obsess over TV shows. When you're a hit, the backstory of how you got to that point doesn't matter much to network executives; just keep up the impressive ratings and the executives will let you write your magnum opus as they dive headfirst into their Scrooge McDuck swimming pool of gold coins.
3 The Walking Dead
AMC Studios
When Robert Kirkman first pitched The Walking Dead to Image Comics, executives had mixed feelings about it. It's hard to blame them. People had only ever seen two-hour-long zombie movies that had a beginning, a middle, and an end. And now here was this guy pitching a zombie comic book that could potentially go on for decades. They didn't think a series about people wandering a zombie-infested wasteland was enough to keep readers coming back. It needed something ... more.
Euforia Film
Zombie ... Nazis?
So Kirkman gave them more, presented in the form of a crazy-as-fuck plot twist: He told Image that, as the series progressed, it would slowly be revealed that the zombie apocalypse was caused by aliens who were using the zombies to weaken humanity's defenses. When mankind was appropriately dismantled, the alien hordes would descend upon Earth and take over, and the story would then be about the battle between humans and aliens.
It was all bullshit. Kirkman made it all up just so he could get the green light. It's like begging your parents to borrow the car so you can go to the school dance, then driving to a strip club.
Triumph Films
Zombie ... strip club?
One of the higher-ups at Image, Jim Valentino, later asked Kirkman about the alien plotline, not catching the hints to it after reading the first issue. Kirkman fessed up and told him that he never intended to put aliens in it. Here's Kirkman paraphrasing Valentino's reaction: "Well, that's good, because I was kind of reading the book, thinking, hey, he might ruin this by putting aliens in it."

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
chapter was good but kakashi should be dead he shouldn't even have shown up to help naruto due to overuse ok chakra which we all know he as so little of
Good chap 4/5
Love the shot with Naruto next to Kakashi it's sick!!!!! It'd be better iif Naruto had a serious expression on his face but oh well!! Reminds me of when Madara showed up to the battlefield next to Obito!
It was obvious how Kakashi got out. He used kamui on his hand. Look at the pic and tell me thats not what hes doing...
Awesome. Worth Waiting Chapter!

In chapter 600 he was barely able to stand up...he was leaning on guy..how come all of a sudden he got so much chakra...he used Doton Doorukei & Kamui (that too to teleport himself back that he never did it before)...
Chapter was great no doubt about it but there are lots of lope holes in plot if u start reading manga one after anther...
If you go outside and run for 10mins, you lost most of your breath but it doesnt stop you from running futher right? so its the same for kakashi now, just because you saw him resting doesnt mean he cant fight on -_-
chap - 5 gai == amazing
Obito is just badass on this chapter... and now he is goin to fight Naruto's shadow clone, we'll see more of his techniques... Kishi should show more Madara...
Anybody who did not like that chapter is not a true naruto fan so all the 1/5 and 2/5 need to stop reading because chapters with heart action and naruto, kakashi and gai being badass is what naruto is all about
I like the action but it seems that Kakashi an guy hav infinate chakra plot loop i was hopeing to catch what happened to rin or what sasukes up to hope he gets a hair cut or pull a aizen
Finally, back to the fighting part. :DDD though the reminiscing part was cool too.. but still doesn't explain why rin have to die? anyone who can explain? >.<
I loved how Madara was talking crap and all of a sudden Hidura owned him lol
Kakashi learning how to warp like obito, idk if he learned how to but if he did thats epic.
The wood dragon owning.

They want chapters like temari vs tenten and choiji vs dosu kinda fights. Or konohamaru fillers.

One question : kakashi only have to simply kamui the sharingan eye of obito to another dimension... Then why didnt he?
I disagree. In part one Kakashi was hardly average. He was son of White Fang and the only known non-Uchiha sharingan user at the time. Plus he was well known as the copy nin with about about 1000 known jutsus (I may be off with this number going on memory).
Why did it take until part two for him to be able to use the sharingan and it's power? He is not an Uchiha and did not have the benefit of senju dna to help him speed up the process like Obito had.
Think how anti-climactic part two would be if Kakashi had been able to use his sharingan to it's full potential the whole time.
I have no answer to your question.
Guys Rock
This was great chapter, action wise, but didn't progressed much where with the story.
Overall a great chapter.
Naruto to the rescue again... for a moment, it was just him against them both, which I totally loved.
I was a bit surprised at Gai's jutsu (Hirudora)... didn't saw that one coming.
I'm gonna go on a whim and say that Sasuke's gonna appear when it's Naruto alone left to fight Madara. No that Gai and Kakashi's gonna die... they'll be exhausted or extremely injured and unable to continue. It would also be awesome if everyone was there to witness it.
Well it's just more of the same. I don't like seeing Kakashi emo either, though I understand why. I don't think he'll survive to end of the manga honestly, but if he dies then my interest in Naruto will wain.
Obito's motives are still annoying to me, and Kakashi not just saying what happened with him and Rin. I am actually interested in the reason, but I'm tired of it dragging out.
Frankly, I'm bored. I can't get into the action because Obito as a villain is meh.
Give me more Madara, Kishi.
Five, I like the fact that Obito owned Kakashi. I dislike how Kakashi have infinite chakra when his chakra levels are bad
guys for all u saying why kakashi has to much charka . well remember naruto had him and guy under his fox cloak. so we have to assume that there chakra have been restored. there no other way.

Sunday Series: Which Summer Blockbusters Busted Blocks Online?
Image from: Wimp Yourself! / DiaryofaWimpyKidMovie.com How 'bout those summer blockbusters, eh? We've seen some spectacular films this summer, but which movie sites have seen the most growth? I looks like drama has no place in attracting the most online growth, as not one of the ranked sites represents a film that has a somber tone. Could this mean that more mature movies don't attract as much attention online? Is

We had an opportunity to pray for a women that was trying to get us to sign a petition about some political stuff. We asked if she needed prayer for anything. She said, "I guess you can pray for my sister who is getting married," so Billy did. Toni said, "Are you sure there is nothing else going on because I have a clue about back pain." She said, well my back is hurting right now. So Toni prayed for her and she got HEALED!!! Thank you Jesus!

I saw a Facebook status from last night that one of my friends went to the hospital last night because of extreme abdomen pain. He was in pain all night. I send a message to the FB post saying be healed in Jesus name! 10 min later they posted that he was "healed and released" There is power in the name of Jesus!

Uplifting, inspiring, Spirit-filled. These are the words that come to mind thinking back to last night's Encounter Night. 24 hours later I'm still basking in the blessings of it all. From the healing rooms (I watched as a woman's leg grew out an inch and received healing throughout her whole body — God is so good!!!), to the worship…I'm sad this is only once a month! Steve and Rene are the real deal and I am honored to know them as my brother and sister in Christ.

Well, something quite interesting has happened regarding the rib injury I mentioned in a previous post, which I suspected might be broken or at the very least significantly bruised.I went to an evening service at Global Presence Ministries, and after a while of worship, the pastor asked "Is there somebody here who has been having tooth pain?" and he gestured and put his hand on the back-upper-right side of his mouth, exactly where my upper molar has been bothering me for the past month. So I…

After seeing the woman who was deaf since birth get her hearing restored, a man with severe hearing loss in his ears asked for prayer. He took out his hearing aids and as I prayed and said Jesus's name, he heard a pop in his ear and proclaimed I can hear you! And then he pointed to a guy across the room and said I can hear him too! Thank you Jesus for Your opening of deaf ears to hear!

NHTSA — Structure: Body Problems
2005 Nissan Altima (Page 8 of 14)
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2005 Nissan Altima has two fairly significant problems with the floor pan rusting through & motor mounts breaking.
Altima owners report that up to a basketball-size hole develops under the floor mats where the floor pan metal rusts through. Average repair cost is over $1,000.
The broken motor mounts are less of a problem - they break at ~75,000 miles average & it's $400 to fix. Still, motor mounts should not break!

GV Now
Gov. Snyder says Michigan still center of auto industry
Posted on March 06, 2014
Gov. Rick Snyder gave closing remarks at the 15th Automotive Suppliers Symposium hosted by Grand Valley's Van Andel Global Trade Center March 6 at Loosemore Auditorium.
The governor said Michigan remains the center of the auto industry with more than 60 of the country's top auto suppliers and 375 research and development centers located in the state. "My job is to create a successful environment so our automotive industry can continue to be globally competitive," said Snyder. "The Michigan business tax is dead and that was the dumbest tax in the U.S. We had too many regulations so we cut 1,500 of them that didn't make sense."
Snyder said a key to keeping young talent in the state is to do better at promoting the benefits of high-tech auto industry jobs. "One of the most important things we can do is train more people for these skilled jobs. There are more jobs available than workers to fill them," he said.
The theme for this year's conference is "What's Your Global Positioning Strategy?" Keynote speakers included Nigel Francis, senior automotive adviser to the State of Michigan and senior vice president of the Automotive Industry Office at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, and Jay Baron, president and CEO of the Center for Automotive Research.
Francis said he assembled a team of experts to look at global trends and create a vision projecting 30 years forward. "We will still have big trucks, SUVs and small cars 30 years from now, but they have to be lighter and more fuel efficient," said Francis. "Our biggest customer will still be the average American and we have to remember who that is. The average American struggles with affording the price of gasoline and the cost of buying a vehicle and we have to be sensitive to that."
Francis said challenges for the future include technology, talent and capital.
Other speakers included:
• Mike Wall of IHS Automotive
• Steven Proctor of American Axle Manufacturing
• Peter Hungerford of ADAC Automotive
• Kevin Clay of Pridgeon & Clay
Plante and Moran was the title sponsor of the symposium. Additional event sponsors included: Chase, Warner Norcross and Judd, IHS Automotive, Morrison Industrial Equipment, The Right Place, Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center (MMTC), Pure Michigan, and WGVU.

Citigroup names new corporate banking head
Citigroup has handed a 23-year veteran of the bank the role of head of corporate banking in Europe, the Middle East and Africa – his second promotion in less than a year.
The US bank announced to staff this morning that Zdenek Turek will take on the role in addition to his responsibilities as western Europe cluster head, a job he was given last year.
The promotion is the latest for Turek in a lengthy career at Citi, which started in 1991 and has taken in roles in Africa, central and eastern Europe and more recently, western Europe.
A memo announcing the appointment, seen by Financial News, said: "In his various roles over the past 23 years, Zdenek has partnered with our corporate banking business very closely and has a deep knowledge and appreciation of this important coverage unit and its link to our clients, capital, products and network."
In his new role, he will report in to Jim Cowles, chief executive of Emea, Michael Roberts, global head of corporate banking and lending, and Manolo Falco, head of corporate and investment banking in Emea.
His appointment follows the bank's decision to move James Bardrick, previously co-head of corporate and investment banking for Emea with Falco, to the role of UK country officer.
Under the previous co-head structure, Falco focused on investment banking and Bardrick corporate banking.
With Bardrick now responsible for managing the bank's relationships with UK regulators, government and stakeholders, Turek will pick up the baton in focusing on corporate banking.
