Planning a picnic or family barbecue anytime soon? Give yourself one less thing to worry about and go for one of our easy pasta salad recipes. It's sure to be a hit!
Pasta salads are great to make ahead, and are absolute tops for large groups. They also take the cake for being an extremely versatile dish – with a host of added ingredients, toppings and dressings, simple pasta salads can go from humble side to star entrée in no time.
We asked Test Kitchen food specialist Amanda Barnier to share some top tips for preparing pasta salads, and why they're a crowd favourite. Here's what she had to share:
Pasta salads: the perfect make-ahead dish
"Pasta salads can easily be prepped in advance and can feed a crowd with little effort," Amanda says. "It can be made in advance and cooled immediately after cooking."
One important tip to remember, she adds, is to "add dressing the day it's being served, because it will quickly absorb the dressing."
Pasta salad favourites
"I like using cheese filled tortellini for a hearty salad. Soba and rice noodles are great with Asian dressings, whole grain and coloured pastas," Amanda says.
How to store pasta salads
"Keep salads well wrapped and refrigerated," she says. "Salad has the same storage life as its ingredients. Seafood is best eaten within 2 days, and chicken (within) 2 to 3 days. If traveling, be sure to store pasta salads in coolers packed with lots of ice."
"Proteins should not be within 4 C and 60 C for longer than a four hour period," she adds.
The long and short of it: best pasta shapes
"Short shapes are best with vinaigrettes and creamy dressings, and chunky ingredients such as chopped vegetables and beans," Amanda says.
"Long pasta shapes are better used with thinly sliced vegetables, proteins, herbs, spices and vinaigrettes."
Tips for making pasta salad
"If making a pasta salad in advance, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and drain well," she advises. "Add dressing just prior to serving. Pasta quickly absorbs liquids; if the dressing is added too soon, the pasta will absorb it."
So whether you prefer chunky pasta salads with a cool, creamy dressing perfect for summer picnics, or entrée-worthy pasta salads with long rice noodles and a tangy vinaigrette, you're sure to find a new favourite with from our collection.

What to see, do and eat in St. Andrews and the surrounding area.
1. Off Kilter Bike Tour. Take in breathtaking ocean views, learn the town's history and get some exercise as you bike to local attractions–all while wearing a custom cycling kilt. Owner Kurt Gumushel's father, a tailor, moved to St. Andrews from Turkey in the 1960s and became known for the beautiful kilts he made. He started a new trend when he made kilts for local mountain bikers a few years ago–something tourists can experience during one of Kurt's bike tours.
2. Sunbury Shores Art and Nature Centre. Art and nature are two important themes in St. Andrews and they come together in this renovated workshop/exhibition space, featuring galleries, studios for painting, printmaking, jewellery making and gorgeous view of the Bay of Fundy. Sign up for a workshop or simply tour The Water Street Gallery, which features rotating exhibitions from local artists.
3. Symbiosis Fine Art. Artist and entrepreneur Matt Watkins opened his gallery/shop four years ago and features pottery, painting, jewellery and photography created by himself and other local artists. Watkins specializes in custom jewellery (most of the jewellery in the shop is made in-house), painting, silversmithing and sculpture. (He also teaches workshops in these areas at Sunbury Shores.) Symbiosis is just one of the many beautiful boutiques along the main strip that features one-of-a-kind artwork, jewellery, gifts and more.
4. Oven Head Salmon Smokers. Debra and Joseph Thorne have owned and operated their smoked salmon business for 29 years. Specializing in smoked salmon, smoked salmon pate and smoked salmon jerky, they supply their cold-smoked salmon products to Sobeys, catering companies and local restaurants, including The Algonquin Resort. And they ship anywhere in Canada and the U.S., so if you can't make it to their shop (or if you love what you tried there), you can get it delivered straight to your front door.
5. Ossie's Lunch. Established in 1957, this retro roadside stop offers an extensive menu featuring all the local delicacies, including fried oyster sandwiches, clams and chips and lobster rolls. Can't choose just one? Go for the seafood platter and taste a little bit of everything.
6. New River Beach. Dip your toes in the Bay of Fundy with a stop at the scenic New River Beach Provincial Park. Boasting sandy beaches, cliffside hiking trails and tidal pools, this is a must if you're traveling during the spring or summer.

Put your slow cooker to work and save time with these 20 easy and satisfying recipes.
Serve this saucy pulled pork as sandwiches: piled high on buns, with bowls of garnishes, such as pickled jalapeños, sour cream, shredded cheese and thinly shredded red cabbage (or better yet, red cabbage slaw), and let guests build their own sandwiches.
This recipe can easily be left to simmer away in a slow cooker for eight hours before adding the chicken. It yields a large quantity of sauce that freezes well if you're feeding a smaller group. Serve over hot steamed basmati rice.
This roast, inspired by a classic Belgian stew, is juicy and tender over mashed potatoes, and the leftovers make the ultimate hot sandwich. Cook the bacon and onion mixture the night before so it's ready to add to the slow cooker in the morning without a lot of fuss.
This beanless regional specialty is a point of pride in Cincinnati, where fierce loyalty divides the city over which restaurant serves the best version. Cooked low and slow, with the distinguishing flavours of cinnamon and cocoa, the meaty, saucy chili is served over spaghetti.
This mild, sweet curry has all the comforting flavours of a curry without too much spice, making it a great choice for the entire family. Serve over steamed rice or with warmed naan bread.
You won't believe how tasty and easy it is to make this classic dish in your slow cooker. A piping bag - or plastic bag - makes easy work of stuffing the manicotti. Serve with a tossed salad and garlic bread for an easy family-style dinner.
A brisket needs to be cooked slowly, so using a slow cooker makes perfect sense. Ensure tender slices by cutting the brisket thinly across the grain.
Inspired by Portuguese caldo verde, this hearty, richly flavoured soup is a yummy way to use up an entire bunch of kale in one go. It freezes well, so leftovers make quick and easy lunches all week. The soup thickens as it stands; thin with water and adjust the seasonings as desired when you reheat it.
My mother, Shu-Lai Fong, makes famous pressure-cooked black bean spareribs. They're the inspiration for this recipe, which is just as delicious but uses a slow cooker. You'll find bite-size bone-in pork spareribs at most Asian grocery stores, or you can order them at your butcher's counter.
This hearty sauce is best served over a short pasta with lots of nooks and crannies it can tuck into and cling to. This ragu also makes a delicious lasagna filling when layered with sheets of fresh pasta and ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. Cost: $2.15/cup
There are few things more comforting than a bowl of rich, creamy seafood chowder. Sweet, licorice-like fennel naturally complements the seafood. Serve with oyster crackers or crusty bread and a simple green salad for a complete meal.
Chorizo sausage and flavourful spices make this chili a real treat to come home to. Stirring in chopped herbs at the end adds a welcome touch of freshness.
Slow-cooked then quickly finished on the grill, sweet and sticky glazed ribs are guaranteed to impress your guests. Pork side ribs are also called St. Louis–style ribs, but back ribs are equally delicious.
Finally a flavourful risotto that doesn't need any stirring! Dried mushrooms work perfectly to create an earthy aroma, we've used dried porcinis here as they're readily available, but any dried mushroom will do. Hearty pot barley makes adds a healthful twist and doesn't become overly mushy - even after 8 hours.
Sweet honey and tender shallots mellow the typically strong flavour of lamb shoulder. Serve with roasted potatoes and steamed greens for a complete meal.
We've swapped beef broth for chicken broth and onions for tender leeks but kept all the flavour in this lighter version of classic French onion soup. When you get home, just toast the baguette, broil the cheese and enjoy!
This veggie-loaded chili is so hearty that even meat lovers will ask for seconds. To freeze it, cook as directed, but don't add the mushrooms. Cook them separately and add to the chili after reheating it. Serve with crusty bread to soak up every bit of sauce.
Inspired by the traditional Mexican tacos served with spicy thin pork slices and pineapple, this slow cooker version features pork shoulder broken into tender bite size chunks. If you don't want to serve these as tacos, try serving the pork on top of steamed white rice instead.
This all-in-one meal is a roast version of classic beef and barley soup. The barley thickens the cooking liquid to make a delicious gravy.
Using stewing beef instead of ground meat adds delicious bulk to this otherwise classic chili. Serve as is or use it as a topping for baked potatoes.

You haven't upgraded yet? What's the holdup?
Written by David Shirey
OK, quick show of hands. How many people are still on i5/OS 5.4 or below? Don't worry, nobody can see you. No embarrassment other than what you put on yourself. OK, that's fine, thank you.
If you are just putting your hand down, don't feel too bad. A lot of good shops are still on some version of 5. Shoot, I even know someone who is on 4.3, although I certainly wouldn't acknowledge them in public. But don't feel too good either, because there are a lot of people who have already moved up to 6.1 or 7.1. If you haven't, it's time to get moving.
Given the cost to both companies and customers, it's critical that IT teams develop a solid strategy utilizing the most effective tools available to help avoid a breach.
Written by Thomas M. Stockwell
Editor's Note: This article is an extract of the white paper "Defending Against Data Breach: Developing the Right Encryption Strategy" available for free download from the MC White Paper Center.
No matter how secure your information systems appear, and no matter how confident your IT staff may be, the risks of your company experiencing a data breach are real, and they continue to grow daily.
Information security breaches cost companies millions of dollars each year, and incidents continue to rise.

This sleek, modern chrome and red bar stool is a colorful accent for a seating area.
Upgrade a conversation area with this eye-catching and stylish, adjustable red barstool. It features a faux leather cushioned seat paired with a chrome finish frame, and adjusts easily from counter height to bar height for ultimate versatility. Please note that some assembly is required.
Shop all Studio 55D
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
This is a company you can trust....
I got two of them for my kitchen island. It looks really nice, love the color. It's also very comfortable, and the adjustable height is also good.
We have four children ages 2-9 and I was concerned this stool would tip over because it seems to be very light weight. We have not had a problem at all with tipping, and the kids are in and out of the chairs all day. We love the swivel and the adjustable height makes it easy to accomodate our 2 year old, and my 6'4" husband. Probably not for a very wide person, as the seat is a bit slim, so check the measurments, but we haven't had a problem with us or visitors yet. We love them! Be aware that the color is a bit shocking orange red, but you get used to it. It brightens up our "brown" home.
Great bar stool. Would be better with a slight darker shade of red that's less orange.
Will have to see how it holds up over time... but seems sturdy enough.
Bright Color
We had a desk built into a closet in a guest bedroom. The desk was slightly higher than a regular desk, so we had difficulty finding a retro looking stool that was comfortable and stylish, this was perfect. LOVE the color.
We use these barstools at our kitchen island. They are very comfortable and look very sleek.
These stools are super comfortable but the "lipstick" red color seems to cheapen the look. A different shade of red would have made these my most favorite pieces of furniture. The color does not match all the other red things I have. I was disappointed in the color but love everything else about them.
I use them as counter stools
Got two of these stools for the kitchen. They were simple to setup and are an excellent addition to my decor.
We like these chairs.
The thing that attracted me to the stool was its bold yet refined red color. It was clear to me that it would go with lot of different styles of decor. I had been looking for an attractive stool to replace the non-adjustable height stools at the Kitchen Island that we use the most day after day. When I tried the stool it was extremely comfortable and supported the back well despite its low profile seat which was an important feture for me so as not to crowd the Island area. The foot rest felt well placed so ones feet do not dangle and the chrome finish was without blemish. I was sold soon after I sat in it and put it through its paces at the store. The spring is stiff and sturdy and all indications are it will last many operations for years. Buying this at Lamps Plus was the decision that needed no questioning since the price provided the most bang for the buck for a very aesthetically pleasing and well constructed unit [...] Needless to say I bought the stools and am pleased I did - I could't be any more happier.
At the Kitchen Island
Great Style
It's hard to find contemporary furniture that feels well made and is comfortable. These stools fit the bil.
Very, very easy to assemble, although difficult to DIS-assemble if you miss the small ring that goes on the base. Swivels easily and is the perfect height for a 42" bistro table when fully raised. Love these and am getting four more, for the bar!
Just about the best barstool ever! We needed barstools for our kitchen counter and I was looking everywhere for the perfect barstools! They had to meet the following 3 criteria: comfortable, must have backing, and must swivel. Comfortable speaks for itself, the backing because... well you know, its a barstool (for the tipsy times), and the swivel is crucial for any barstool. When I saw this, I went nuts OH MY GOSH it is the perfect one. Bought 3 of them, 2 in black and 1 in white! Super easy to assemble and clean, height-adjustable, and it slides right under my kitchen counter! How cool is that.

ARM, a leading designer of low-power processing cores, has announced that its new ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore intellectual property is designed in accordance with TSMC's 40nm process technology design rules. The speed-optimized hard macro implementation will enable devices to operate at frequencies greater than 2.0GHz, which is likely to allow the company-designed processors to compete against x86 products by Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corp.
"The Cortex-A9 MPCore processor has already been widely accepted as the processor of choice for high-performance embedded applications across a broad spectrum of demanding consumer and enterprise devices. ARM's parallel development of advanced, optimized physical IP components demonstrates a new level of collaborative differentiation while enabling our partners to expand their penetration into high margin domains traditionally occupied by proprietary architectures," said Eric Schorn, vice president of marketing at processor division of ARM.
There will be two Cortex-A9 MPCore implementations for TSMC's 40nm process:
- The Cortex-A9 speed-optimized hard macro implementation will provide system designers with an ARM processor incorporating aggressive low-power techniques. This hard macro implementation operates in excess of 2GHz when selected from typical silicon and represents an ideal solution for high-margin performance-oriented applications, according to the developer. Modern ARM chips operate at clock-speeds lower than 1GHz, hence, two times boost will indisputably offer very high performance gain.
- The Cortex-A9 power-optimized 40nm hard macro implementation delivers its peak performance of 4000DMIPS while consuming less than 250mW per CPU when selected from typical silicon.
The hard macro implementations include ARM AMBA-compliant high performance system components to maximize data traffic speed and minimize power consumption and silicon area.
Each Cortex-A9 hard macro implementation also includes the CoreSight Program Trace Macrocell (PTM) which provides full visibility into the processor's instruction flow, enabling the software community to develop code for optimal performance.
Both ARM dual-core Cortex-A9 hard macros will share a common seven-power domain, dual-NEON technology configuration supporting SMP (symmetrical multiprocessing) operating systems with up to 8MB of L2 cache memory and will be delivered with all scripts, vectors and libraries required to integrate the macro directly within any SoC device.
The Cortex-A9 hard macros and the corresponding optimized physical IP used to develop the speed-optimized and power-optimized implementations are available for license today with delivery in the fourth quarter of 2009. ARM's 40nm "G" physical IP platform is also available today.


text: On March 2, 2012, an OHA Hearing Officer issued a Decision in which she determined that an Individual=s access authorization should not be restored. In reaching this determination, the Hearing Officer found that the Individual had not resolved the security concerns arising from her failure to file her Federal and State income taxes for tax years 2004 through 2010. At the hearing, the Individual testified that that she had made significant progress in changing her life and in becoming more responsible regarding her duty to file her tax returns. As of the date of the hearing, the Individual had filed her returns for 2004 through 2006. In addition, after the hearing, she provided documentation that she is receiving assistance from her local IRS Taxpayer Assistance office in filing her remaining 2007 through 2010 returns. After considering all the evidence and testimony in the proceeding, the Hearing Officer found that the Individual had not resolved all of the delinquent filings and that the Individual's total tax liability and her ability to pay her tax debt were uncertain. She concluded that the Individual had not resolved the security concerns raised by her failure to file her returns. Therefore, the Hearing Officer concluded that the Individual's access authorization should not be restored. Kimberly Chapman - Hearing Officer

I actually read your posts on both websites (in my defense, I'm a medical illustrator so I am strictly segregated to my mac at all times) & I thought your posts on the Frisky was really refreshing and avante garde.
Don't worry about the catty post of the brides log either, I quite "got" it & totally agree with you.
Aside from the fact that it was kinda hilarious because there was a layer of tension that they wanted to vote to burn you at stake - i hope it didn't make you think twice to write something more severely vulgar.
I used to have a really popular lifestyle blog & you really remind me of how brutally honest I was - I got rid of it when my identity got repetitively stolen but it's nice to see someone is maintaining their voice and getting PAID for it. Slightly jealous but good for you!
& those thigh high boots? I was actually going to book a flight to get them since I live in Canada & I travel so much BUT Report Signature has it in pure leather and in black. Super decent.
I would leave a comment on your work site BUT I don't want to create a profile etc etc
Good luck, I'll be cheering you on from Canada!

Nathan Fillion of Castle and Firefly fame has finally made it to the Attack of the Show studios! Candace Bailey talks to the actor about his holiday traditions, as well as his insight on the impending apocalypse based on the Mayan calendar. Find out how he plans to cope with the end of the world in the full interview below.
A new trailer for Man of Steel has hit faster than a speeding bullet. Next summer's big screen return of the baddie-beating blue bomber who can't help being mistaken for either a bird or plane appears even more intense and drama-packed than we thought, which is always a good thing.
Director, Zack Snyder seemed to have no other choice than to take us through the motions of the many-times-told origin story of the super-powered space orphan who grew up on Earth in the sparsely-populated Smallville. However, the conflict and pure pathos that's being exuded by Henry Cavill as the new Clark Kent/Superman is quite in line with the tone of superhero films one would expect to find in a post-Nolan-Batman kind of world.
While the set of teaser trailers we got back at Comic-Con in July seemed to hint a film more centered around the struggles of young Kent coming to terms with his powers and what place he has in the world, this trailer sets that into the broader context. -- The broader context of becoming a world class yellow-sun-soaked ass beater!
Check it out below and see if the world is ready!
Next summer's revival western, The Lone Ranger has released a new trailer showing a much different side of the film than we got back in October with its debut trailer.
We were previously treated to a reinvention of the classic tale featuring the voiceover manifesto of a greedy robber baron played by Tom Wilkinson who plans to use the newly-laid railroad system to control the new world. This trailer, however, is more spiritual and delves a bit into the origin of the titular masked marauder of morality played by The Social Network's Armie Hammer.
Our hero is a man who lost everything that he cares about in the world. After cheating death, he plans to devote his second life to the cause of justice with the help of his newfound ally, Tonto, played by Johnny Depp with a wig, a lot of white facepaint, and a pseudo-Native American accent that could potentially raise the ire of some.
Check out the trailer below to see, among other cool things, the worst hangover wake-up ever.
Paul Scheer and Candace Bailey bring a new Attack of the Show tonight with filmmakers Joe Lynch and Adam Green about the Christmas special of their FEARnet show, Holliston, Nick Kroll from The League for his new Comedy Central show, Kroll Show and Weston Scott's hands-on lesson on the art of making moonshine!

Skene's gland
|Skene's gland
|Skene's Gland
|Human female internal reproductive anatomy. (Skene's gland not labeled, but region is visible.)
|subject #252 1213
|Wolffian duct
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
In human anatomy (female), the Skene's glands (also known as the lesser vestibular, periurethral glands, paraurethral glands[1], or female prostate) are glands located on the upper wall of the vagina, around the lower end of the urethra. They drain into the urethra and near the urethral opening. These glands are surrounded with tissue, which includes the part of the clitoris that reaches up inside the vagina and swells with blood during sexual arousal.
Relation with orgasm
There is some evidence that nerves in the area produce an orgasm different to the one produced by clitoral stimulation.
Homology and possible functions
The location of the Skene's gland is the general area of the urethral sponge. The Skene's glands are homologous with the prostate gland in males.[2]
Female ejaculation
Some believe that the Skene's glands are the source of female ejaculation.[3] In 2002, Emanuele Jannini of L'Aquila University in Italy showed that there may be an explanation both for the phenomenon and for the frequent denials of its existence. Skene's glands have highly variable anatomy, and in some extreme cases they appear to be missing entirely. If Skene's glands are the cause of female ejaculation and G-spot-orgasms, this may explain the observed absence of these phenomena in many women.[4][5]
Female prostate
The fluid that emerges during female ejaculation has a composition similar to the fluid generated in males by the prostate gland,[6] containing biochemical markers of sexual function like Human Protein 1[7] and the enzyme PDE5. When examined with electron microscopy, both glands show similar secretory structures,[8] and both act similarly in terms of prostate-specific antigen and prostate-specific acid phosphatase studies.[9][10][11][12] Because they are increasingly perceived as merely different versions of the same gland, some researchers are moving away from the name Skene's gland and referring to it instead as the female prostate.[13]
The glands were named after the physician who described them first, Alexander Skene.[14]

Sensing God's Direction
A Personal Note from the Author Jim Poitras
I was converted in 1979. My pastor was a mission's lover. In 1983, after three years in the church, and at the ripe old age of twenty two(well, one week before I turned twenty‐three) I went on the AIM program to Nigeria, West Africa. This booklet contains some of the things I've learned about sensing God's will over the past quarter century.
In the summer of 2014, Next Steps will be in Lome, Togo with missionaries Randy & Carolyn Adams and Craig & Lyna Sully. Watch More >>

Tight Dress Battle: Aly Michalka, Katy Perry & Amanda Bynes
Tight revealing dresses: nothing gets one's attention more than a woman who can fill one out properly. Besides, it's good for business.
For months Katy Perry has been wearing a series of tight latex outfits leading up to the release of her new album "Teenage Dream," which is currently at #1 on Billboard. Yes, she has talent as a singer/songwriter, but she also realizes what else gets attention.
With that in mind, we've decided to do a little poll here at Starpulse with three ladies that first came to mind. Aly Michalka, Katy Perry, Amanda Bynes are all stunning, but who do you think wears a tight dress best?
First up is Katy Perry, who is definitely not allergic to latex.
Next: Aly Michalka who co-stars in The CW's new cheerleading drama "Hellcats."
Finally, the newly retired and now unretired Amanda Bynes:
Let us know who you think wears a dress the best.

RAP, Inc. to Celebrate Anniversary, Groundbreaking on Capitol Hill
WI Web Staff | 9/25/2013, 12:55 p.m.
RAP, Inc., a D.C. organization dedicated to providing medical services and substance abuse treatment, will celebrate its 43rd anniversary in November with a fundraising event on Capitol Hill.
Charles Stephenson, chair of the organization's board, said the Nov. 16 event, scheduled to begin 8 p.m. at the Washington Court Hotel at 525 New Jersey Avenue NW, will be open to the public.
"RAP has been the place where mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, uncles and aunts, nephews and nieces, friends and co-workers-loved ones all-have come to receive treatment services," Stephenson said. "We are asking everyone who knows someone who has received or needs RAP's services to support our fundraising event. Help make sure the services will be available into the future."
Located in Washington's Eckington neighborhood, the RAP campus includes a 40-bed residential treatment facility, emergency shelter and transition housing for persons living with HIV/AIDS, and an outpatient primary care clinic. The facility serves adult residents in the city, including the homeless and formerly incarcerated.
The November event will also celebrate the groundbreaking for an expansion of the treatment facility in partnership with the District's Department of Housing and Community Development. RAP will be able to serve more than 100 additional people annually once the expansion is complete.
Music will be provided by D.C. artists EU featuring Sugar Bear, and the Nasar Abadey Quartet.
Tickets for the celebration are $50 apiece and can be purchased online. Visit www.rapinc.org/events for more information.

TDS Telecommunications, a communications provider in the US state of Wisconson, has built a new IPTV platform and given the nod to Microsoft to supply its Mediaroom middleware.
The telco has spent around US$ 25mn on building the new platform, which delivers up to 240 linear channels and video-on-demand content via its fibre network, as well as a four-tuner DVR which can store up to 400 hours of recorded shows.
However, it is the inclusion of Mediaroom software which makes this significant: despite winning roles in some very big operator deployments in years past (including the likes of AT&T, Telus and Deutsche Telekom), there has been a paucity of new customer announcements of late.
However, that hasn't stopped its partners from innovating: Swedish quality assurance specialist Agama Technologies and its Canadian rival Mariner have both revealed plans in the past week to launch Mediaroom-specific editions of their digital TV monitoring solutions at the IBC 2012 trade show which kicks off in Amsterdam in early September.
With this year's IBC trade show just around the corner, we may see some more big announcements for the Mediaroom platform very soon – watch this space…

Hi everyone,
Rose Schuette might not be able to tell you how many kids in Connecticut have juvenile arthritis.
She might not be able to give you the correct spelling of Methotrexate, the name of her arthritis medicine.
But ask this 6-year-old New Milford girl how many fish live in her family's tank and the answer is swift and succinct.
"Thirty-seven," Rose replies, her smile racing straight toward her dolphin earrings.
Like most kids her age, Rose Schuette has plenty to do in her spare time, including counting fish.
"I like to play with my dolls a lot and I like to dance," she said. "I like to ride my bike, too."
But unlike her first-grade friends, Rose's spare time also includes living with joint pain and stiffness, and living with the threat of eye damage from arthritis down the road.
"A lot of kids ask me what arthritis is," Rose said Wednesday. "I tell them it's pain in my body."
On Sunday morning, Rose will spread the word some more at the 2012 Arthritis Walk Danbury at the O'Neill Center at Western Connecticut State University. Registration starts at 9 and the walk begins at 10.
Rose will walk in this year's event with her parents, Alice and Michael Schuette, and her sister, Grace. The family cat, Desdemona — yes, that Desdemona, the beautiful, ill-fated bride from Shakespeare's Othello — will stay home.
"Every year, the walk seems to get bigger with more people and more booths," Alice Schuette said. "It's good for Rose to see there are other kids with arthritis. But it's also good for my husband and I to connect with other parents."
Rose is one of four ambassadors who were chosen for this year's Arthritis Walk.
The others are Ryan Rizzo of Bethel, a 17-year-old junior at Immaculate High School in Danbury; Sara Matte, a 12-year-old student at Reed Intermediate School in Newtown; and Peter Serencsics of Bethel, the safety director at the Rizzo Companies in Danbury.
"Nobody really understands what the kids go through and what the families go through other than the people actually going through it," Alice Schuette said.
"It's kind of like when you're a kid in science class learning about space for the first time," Schuette went on. "You think, 'No, it's got to have an end. Everything has an end.' But space doesn't end. It just keeps going, just like JRA (juvenile rheumatoid arthritis). It's a chronic illness."
For Rose, there used to be weekly injections of Methotrexate, the shots that always seemed to draw tears, and occasionally, a drop or two of blood. Now, Rose takes a few Methotrexate tablets each week instead.
Often times, even sitting "criss-cross applesauce" can be painful for Rose, the girl with tiny freckles the color of brown sugar and dimples to match.
"It really hurts my legs, mostly my ankles and behind my knees," Rose said. "Sometimes in the middle of the day, my teacher (Diane Smith) lets me stretch out my legs."
Rose's 9-year-old sister, Grace, sums it up like this: "I know it hurts her and I know she doesn't like to take the medicine. I just wish I could help her."
It's been that way for the Schuette family ever since Rose was 10 months old. That's when she was diagnosed with JRA and joined 3,400 kids in Connecticut with arthritis, according to the Arthritis Foundation.
"From the time she was born, Rosie had always been my happy-go-lucky baby," Alice Schuette said. "But once she started scooting on the floor, I noticed that she was dragging her left leg."
For more than a month, there were more questions — and doctor's appointments — than answers. There was also Rosie's ankle wrapped up in a cast for two weeks.
"By this time," Alice Schuette said, "she was just sitting and crying and holding up her hands for me to pick her up. I remember saying at the time, I thought it might be arthritis. She was acting like her whole body hurt."
Finally, a team of doctors at the Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford returned with a diagnosis: Little Rosie Schuette had JRA.
"When this happened to us, I was bitter. This was Rosie — our family, our baby," Schuette said. "We didn't know what was going on for so long. I learned it's good to let other people know — if you have a feeling about something — to follow through with it and trust your instincts."
On May 29, Rose Schuette will turn 7 years old. She doesn't scoot anymore, of course.
These days, Rose prefers the choreography of modern dance, with its subtle elegance and its defiant hammer against the chains of arthritis.

Freedom New Mexico
Sophomore Kristen Cruickshank of Glendale, Ariz., became the second consecutive Eastern New Mexico University player to receive Lone Star Conference South Division softball pitcher of the week honors Tuesday.
Cruickshank, who is 4-2 for the season with a 1.26 earned run average, allowed eight hits and two runs — both unearned — with 10 strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings over three appearances in last week's Division II Leadoff Classic in Phoenix. She tossed a one-hit shutout in a 2-0 win over 10th-ranked Cal State Stanislaus, lost 1-0 to Gold Bracket top seed UC Santa Barbara after giving up an unearned run in the bottom of the seventh, and pitched 4 2/3 innings in relief in a 5-3 loss to Minnesota State-Mankato.
Cruickshank, who also spends time at first base and as a designated player when not in the circle, won a South hitter of the week honor early in the 2007 season.
ENMU junior Natalie Woodside notched the South's pitching award for the previous week.

By Sheena Barnett/NEMS Daily Journal
I believe it's what you like, not what you are like, that matters. Once you figure out what you like, everything else seems to fall into place from there.
Whether it's photography, nursing, filmmaking, teaching, whatever, life's just easier, prettier, sunnier, when we're knee-deep in what we love.
Some of us seem to find what we love early on, as kids, while some of us have to search for much of our lives.
I think knowing and doing what you like also generally shapes the person you are. I think writers, for example are generally more curious, entertaining and hopefully compassionate; I think teachers, for example, are naturally nurturing and inspiring. It's not always fair to paint someone with such broad strokes, but really, I think what we love has something to do with the kind of person we are.
If ever I question this belief, I just look to my cousin Shelby for a bit of inspiration.
For all of her 15 – almost 16 – years on this planet, Shelby has loved animals.
I remember baby-sitting her when she was less than a year old, and I had all of her toys out in front of her, seeing which ones she liked best. She laughed the most when she played with the animal-shaped toys, and I wondered then if that meant she'd grow up to work with animals. I was dreaming big for her early on.
Being the awesome kid that she is, she's living up to those dreams these days.
Horses are her favorites, especially her own horse, Chessie.
Shelby and Chessie are learning together what it means to be in horse shows. She's really good at something called halter, and something else called walk trot.
As many of her horse shows I've seen, I'm still confused at exactly what she's doing for either of those competitions, but I do know she looks awesome doing it – and she does it well enough that she's taken home several first places.
And, as I said, I believe what you love says something about what kind of person you are.
She's motherly to her horse just like she's motherly to anyone who needs it, especially her great-grandmas. It always amazes me to see a teenager who dotes on her elders the way Shelby does.
She's growing up so fast – she's learning how to drive! somebody, stop the madness! – and she's only at the beginning of figuring out What She Wants to Do When She Grows Up.
Her mind changes nearly every day – trainer, veterinarian, etc. – but she's got a while to figure it out.
We should all be so lucky, to know what we love and to be good at it, to have so many ideas and ambitions.
I think Shelby's on the right track to inspire not just me, but many others.
After all, it's what you like that matters.

Milwaukee Music Video: See Juiceboxxx's one-take treatment for "Like a Renegade"
I'm not sure if I've met any Milwaukee performer with more energy than Juiceboxxx. The Milwaukee native (he doesn't claim a home base for now, but he was last living in Los Angeles) was in our studios last year to perform a couple of tracks off his awesome debut full-length "I Don't Want to Go Into the Darkness." It was a raucous good time. And it was really loud.
So I'm not surprised in the slightest to see JB running through the streets, ripping off his shirt, and spraying a can of what I can presume is an energy drink, for the new music video for "Darkness" track "Like a Renegade." Nor am I surprised that the whole thing was done in one take. »Read Full Blog Post

Milwaukee Music Video: See the visual treatment for Alchemy's 'Creature of Love'
The music video for glossy synthpop band Alchemy's "Creature of Love" doesn't feature unicorns, a snuggly, six-foot-tall stuffed animal or any other cutesy creatures of love. But it does have a CGI mud monster, a sickly, paranoid dude in a hoodie and the local group rocking out at Mad Planet.
"Creature of Love" is also the name of the band's latest EP, which the band celebrated with a show at Mad Planet last month. And it has another cause for celebration: after winning a battle of the bands at Marquette Friday, Alchemy will get to open for buzz band Twenty One Pilots at Weasler Auditorium April 5. »Read Full Blog Post

Have you ever considered converting your policy regarding sick days and vacation? Accrued time off (otherwise known as PTO-paid time off) can be a tremendous change in mindset for leadership as well as staff.
There is a big difference in the minds of employees between sick days and vacation versus accrued time off. Sick days should be able to be taken at will as a personal day, and not have to be forced to bring in a note from their doctor. While some companies do not even offer personal days, sick and personal days are relatively the same and employees of companies feel they are an entitlement. Vacation days are specifically for paid time away from work, and again, viewed as an entitlement.
Did you know that most people in Europe have between 4 to 6 weeks of vacation time that must be taken in a particular year? Not so in the United States, where policies are much more frugal. Traditional vacation policies in America differ, but the common denominator is "use it or lose it" mentality of corporate business. This thought process is changing, and for the better.
By converting from a multiple layered time away benefit, management can have vacation time scheduled and other "time off" taken when the mood strikes the staff member. This is a two edged sword, unfortunately, but with the proper leadership shepherding the flock toward a responsible state of being, the panic issues of being short staffed can be minimal if non-existent.
Example: A new employee begins to accrue PTO on a ratio of X per month on the job, and the company establishes that no PTO is vested until a point in time (3, 6 or 12 months). Staff with established vesting converts all accrued time to PTO. Vacations are scheduled annually, but if no previous scheduling is performed, the staff member must succumb to the "as needed" use of time on the books. There is no need to qualify sickness, personal days or any other reason to miss work. The management of time is reduced to one line item, and can be monitored automatically.
Human Resources departments will have much more of a "carrot" in their recruiting efforts with a modern day Paid Time Off benefit, and staff will enjoy the "mature" direction management is taking to modernize an archaic method of accounting for time away from the office. An automated system is easy to track, notify and allow for individual monitoring of accrued time.
Individual policies can be created that not only change the motivation of existing staff, but also protect the company from abuse. A professional HR services firm can provide some guidelines.

Netanyahu, Feiglin Face Off in Likud Primary
While a contentious Likud primary is expected to result in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's landslide victory over Jewish Leadership faction head Moshe Feiglin, a strong showing by the underdog has already impacted Israel's leading party.
Voting opened at 10am on Tuesday at the 500 ballot boxes placed in 154 locations throughout the country. Polls will close at 10pm, with a winner expect to be announced at midnight. There are approximately 130,000 registered Likud voters throughout Israel who are eligible to vote for party leader, and for the new Likud Central Committee.
After casting his vote, Netanyhau told reporters: "I am asking Likud members to vote for me; if people stay at home, they will not give expression to the huge level of support for my leadership."
International Director of the Jewish Leadership faction, Shmuel Sackett, told The Jewish Press "The members of Likud will decide today between a leader who wants to build a Palestinian state versus one who wants to build a Jewish state, between a leader who appoints Ehud Barak as Defense Minister versus one who will appoint a defense minister from inside the ranks of Likud, and between a leader who appoints leftist anti-Jewish judges to the Supreme Court versus one who will appoint judges who are strong and proud in their Jewish faith."
Feiglin, a resident of the Samaria community of Karnei Shomron and long-time activist on behalf of Jewish rights to Judea and Samaria, hopes to improve on his August 2007 Likud primary total of 23.4%. Feiglin has made no secret of his interest in taking over the party, and expresses strong disapproval of the prime minister's past vote in favor of relinquishing Israeli sovereignty over Gaza, forcibly evicting the Jewish communities of Gush Katif, and his current willingness to negotiate with the Palestinian Authority and create a Palestinian state in parts of Judea and Samaria.
For his part, Netanyahu is believed to have the support of the majority of Likud party members, and has enjoyed two terms as prime minister, one as Minister of Finance, and one as Minister of Foreign Affairs. He also said at a cabinet meeting in August 2009 that he would not repeat the mistake of further unilateral Israeli withdrawals, saying "the unilateral evacuation brought neither peace nor security. On the contrary."
Negotiations between Israel and the PA on issues pertaining to creating a Palestinian state in areas governed by Israel were renewed in Amman, Jordan in the first week of January. Parties on both sides said the likelihood of negotiations leading to an agreement is minimal.Malkah Fleisher

Imported and Older Comments:
Prime Minister Netanyahu frightens me because he appears to be so wishy-washy. I wish he had stronger convictions about the rights of all Jews above any other group of people in Israel. One day he says one thing and the next day something else. Any time he makes a decision I hold my breath. I'm horrified by the treatment of Jews in our own country by the police and often the military and shocked that arabs get away with crimes while Jews in peril are either ignored or even punished for trying to protect their families and property. I think the police are pro-arab and anti-religious Jews. Their treatment of Jews is often rough. I don't trust the police AT ALL. I like what Moshe Feiglin appears to stand for but who can trust a politician?
My brother-in-law knows Netanyahu personally and said that Netanyahu is the biggest liar and can never be trusted. Even though I am opposed to Moshe Feiglin being a part of the Likud due to the fact that the Likud is not a right-wing party especially because the Likud started all of the problems by giving away the Sinai Peninsula and expelling the Jews from Yamit which eventually led to the Oslo accords, giving away the Gaza Strip and expelling the Jews from Gush Katif and at the present time a majority of the Likud Knesset members support a so-called "Palestinian" state, I am still hoping and praying that Moshe Feiglin will win with a great majority and will continue to follow in the path that he preaches and NOT capitulate to the enemy like all of the other politicians.

Incomplete. That's how most of Franklin County's senior budget staff would describe the management study of the sheriff's office that consultants delivered in December.
The six-month, $89,000 undertaking was supposed to offer the county and the sheriff's management team clear guidance on budget decisions, advice on staffing and a comparison of sheriff's operations in other large, urban counties.
County Administrator Don Brown asked members of the county's office of management and budgets and other top officials to review the document this month and provide comments he could then discuss with the county commissioners. Although the commissioners have not been briefed on their conclusions, emails obtained by The Dispatch show that most staff members think the study fell short.
Universally panned was the report's lack of a summary. Recommendations and conclusions are instead strewn throughout the more than 700 pages of the seven-volume study. Also missing is a detailed breakdown of what the recommendations would cost.
Deputy Administrator Erik Janas wrote that the report's recommendation to add more than 100 employees in the county's two jails "shows no consideration or acknowledgement for the limitations on county resources at a time in which other elected Franklin County officials have been asked to do more with less."
"Such an additional immediate budget expense would be extraordinarily difficult," Janas said, " and the report does not suggest any phased approach or prioritization in corrections to accomplish those targets, nor does it suggest cost savings to offset or mitigate any recommended new hires."
Janas also criticized the consultant's ambiguity about hiring corrections officers to work in the county jails. The report calls for creating two classifications of deputy, certified and uncertified, but doesn't clearly state a reason for the distinction or offer advice about what the two groups should be paid.
Sheriff Zach Scott said that the consultant, Voorhis Associates of Lafayette, Colo., was never asked to provide a detailed cost analysis of its conclusions. Scott, who is in Washington, D.C., this week for two national sheriffs conventions, said the report was only supposed to suggest the best use of personnel in his office, and it would be up to the county to determine what any changes would cost.
The report "did come back and say we did not have enough people, which I don't think was a shock to anybody," he said.
Commissioner Marilyn Brown contends that the report was supposed to support its recommendations with an assessment of the costs. In that regard, she said, it left the county wanting more.
"It's very difficult to get through that amount of data and not have something you can point to and say, 'This is what we need,' " Marilyn Brown said. "I think we need to know how we use this to improve operations, efficiency and effectiveness at a cost the community can afford."
She said she looks forward to a meeting with the consultant at which she hopes such questions can be answered. That meeting has not been scheduled, county staff confirmed.
