Liquid Laundry Packets
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) are urging parents to take immediate action to ensure their family is not exposed to the hazards posed by liquid laundry packets or capsules. Young children who are exposed to the highly concentrated, toxic detergent are at risk of serious injury.
Reports of incidents in the United States and Australia have prompted the product safety agencies to warn parents about what can happen if these products are not used safely. Children who have ingested detergent from the packets have required medical attention and hospitalization for loss of consciousness, excessive vomiting, drowsiness, throat swelling, and difficulty breathing. Eye contact has also resulted in reports of injury, including severe irritation and temporary loss of vision.
"A product intended to make your clothes clean and bright should not lead to a parent having to call the poison help line because their child is in distress," said CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum. "CPSC has played a leading role in addressing this emerging hazard. We are conducting an investigation, we are educating consumers, and we are urging that changes be made that will reduce incidents and injuries."
"Poison call centers across Australia have received more than 85 calls in the last 18 months relating to exposure to these laundry capsules," said ACCC Deputy Chair Delia Rickard. "The experience in Australia is consistent with an international trend, where most cases have involved a child aged five years or younger."
The number of incidents, in a relatively short period of time, suggests that children are highly attracted to the packets, which can resemble play items. The soft and colorful product can be easily mistaken by a child for candy, toys, or a teething product.
Water, wet hands, and saliva can cause the packets to dissolve quickly and release their highly concentrated toxic contents. Parents and caregivers are urged always to handle the product carefully and with dry hands.
To prevent unintended exposure to the toxic chemicals in the packets, the following steps are recommended:
1. Do not let children handle the laundry packets.2. Keep the liquid laundry packets sealed in their original packaging, and make sure they are locked up and out of a child's sight and reach.3. Ensure your hands are dry before using a laundry packet/capsule, and wash and dry your hands thoroughly after each use.4. If swallowed or exposed to the eye:
Tenenbaum and Rickard noted that while consumers can take some precautions, the industry can also look to improve the product to make it safer for all concerned.
"CPSC has received more than 500 reports of incidents involving children and adults and is working with manufacturers of the liquid laundry packets to prevent additional ingestions and eye injuries," added Chairman Tenenbaum. CPSC is encouraged that the manufacturers of laundry packets are developing improved warning labels, making their product packaging less attractive to children, and have committed to implement a comprehensive multi-year consumer awareness campaign. However, CPSC seeks additional design changes to all types of packages containing laundry packets that will make individual packets less accessible to children.
"The ACCC has been working closely with industry association Accord Australasia to improve the safety and packaging of these products. With the assistance of Accord, industry has acknowledged our concerns and has signaled that changes will be made. Expected changes include the redesign of the product and outer packaging so it features prominent warning labels and consistent safety information," said Ms. Rickard.
CPSC is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of the thousands of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $900 billion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products ─ such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters, and household chemicals ─ contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.
In the United States, federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury go online to www.SaferProducts.gov, or call CPSC's Hotline at (800) 638-2772, or teletypewriter at (301) 595-7054 for the hearing impaired. Consumers can obtain news release and recall information at www.cpsc.gov, on Twitter @OnSafety, or by subscribing to CPSC's free e-mail newsletters.

The New York Rangers sit atop the Eastern Conference playoff race with 95 points on the season, leading the surging Pittsburgh Penguins by one point.
The Rangers have been stellar all season and have been the top team in the East for many weeks.
Possessing one of the league's top goaltenders, the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist has been nothing but superb in his sixth season with the team.
The Rangers' defense has been stout all season and the team has collected 13 wins thus far against Atlantic Division rivals, including a Winter Classic victory on the Philadelphia Flyers' home turf.
The Atlantic Division, despite the New York Islanders, will have four teams in the playoffs unless something drastic happens within the next 10 games.
That being said, the Rangers have played in one of the most competitive divisions in hockey and have still managed to win.
Although being in a recent slump, losing five of their last seven, here are five reasons why the New York Rangers are Stanley Cup contenders.

The Jervis McEntee Diaries - September 20, 1876
Diary Entry:
This from the Tribune - [newspaper excerpt attached reads, "Senor Escosura, the distinguished Spanish artist, walking through one of the New-York picture galleries the other day, paused before one of Mr. Jervis McEntee's beautiful canvases, and said, "I don't know this artist; I never saw any of his work before; but I know no one in Europe who could do better."] I confess the accompanying extract from the Tribune of today came to me as a great solace in the midst of my worries and anxieties. I am very glad to have the spontaneous endorsement of artists, and I am thankful I have had it many times. My pictures at the Centennial exhibition have had a number of very favorable notices and are always classed as among the best there. I only wish it would induce our picture buyers to think more of my work, and I think it will in time. My salvation is in going on and improving in my pictures and it is the fear that I may not be able to do this that often causes me anxiety. There is great danger that a man in need of money will be induced to work for popular favor and so prevent him from following out his own ideas. An artist above all men should be free from money troubles and I think constantly of how I can order my life so as to be independent in this respect. I had the Franklin all nicely fitted in the parlor today and we built a fire in it and it works perfectly satisfactorily. I think it will add much to the comfort of the room.

Manual Transmission Vehicles Make Slight Comeback in 2012
Shane McGlaun
August 2, 2012 9:19 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Don't call it a comeback...
Many automotive enthusiasts have been lamenting the fact that automakers are starting to shy away from the manual transmission. Most automakers cite that take rates for manual transmissions are in steady decline. This is due to several factors, one of which being that many modern automatic transmissions now get better fuel economy than manual transmissions thanks to
having more forward gears
Some sports car companies are sticking with the manual transmission and are actually adding gears, such as Porsche. Porsche unveiled a seven-speed manual transmission for its sports cars not long ago.
While Porsche is sticking with the manual transmission, BMW has announced that it is
axing the manual
as an option for its M5 and Audi has
discontinued manual transmissions
in some of its vehicles in Europe.
According to Edmunds.com, the manual transmission has made a slight comeback this year. According to statistics put together by the website, 7% of all new cars sold in 2012 are equipped with manual transmissions. That is a massive decline from 20 years ago when one out of every four cars sold had a manual transmission. However, 7% is much higher than the 3.9% take rate for manual transmissions last year. 2012 is on track to be the year with the highest rate for manual transmission vehicle purchases since 2006.
"A combination of factors - from the growing age of vehicle trade-ins bringing more manual drivers back to market, to a greater proportion of smaller cars on the road - is creating a small spike for stick shifts," says Edmunds.com Industry Analyst Ivan Drury. "But even though manual cars are on the rise now, they're on track to be virtually extinct in the next 15 to 20 years."
Edmunds.com also reports that 64% of all 2012 model year vehicles are only offered with automatic transmissions. Ten years ago, the number of vehicles that weren't available with the manual transmission was must lower at 48%.
It's worth noting that some sports cars are only offered with manual transmissions, including the Audi TT RS, Aston Martin V12 Vantage, Fiat 500 Abarth, Ford Shelby GT500, MazdaSpeed 3, and Volkswagen Golf R.
"Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with bars on the windows in the bad part of town." -- Charlie Miller

Kit Morgan
Guest Guitarist
Kit was born in Moreton-in-Marsh, England on the 23rd June 1958. With his father in the Air Force, he spent many of his early years in the Mediterranean, hence his enduring penchant for sun-worship at any opportunity.
He discovered the guitar at the age of eleven and by thirteen was playing in semi-professional bands in the North London area where he finished his schooling (as soon as possible!). At the age of seventeen he took his first pro tour with '60s pop star Billy J. Kramer, and continued touring and working with popular artists in the cabaret scene for many years, including Guys & Dolls, Wall Street Crash, Lulu, Lenny Henry etc. Although a Hendrix fan through and through, this musical upbringing armed Kit with a vast stylistic diversity, resulting in his ability to slip easily and comfortably into almost any genre, including Jazz, Country (AND Western!), Blues, Rock, Reggae…the list goes on. Before working with Ian Anderson on his various solo projects, Kit's last worldwide touring stint was a year with violinist Vanessa Mae.
After finally settling down in Bristol some 20 years ago Kit has become one of the most sought after session players and still busies himself with many recording gigs for TV, Film and Radio. Much of the guitar work you'll hear on wildlife programmes (Discovery Channel, various David Attenborough series and the like) will be Mr. Morgan's contributions. He now is a regular contributor (transcribing and recording) for Europe's biggest selling guitar magazine, Total Guitar, is the Musical Director for Bristol-based theatre company 'The Ministry of Entertainment', whilst continuing to compose and record for TV.
During a recent lull and a period of 'male menopause' he recorded a relaxation CD, (as much to preserve his own sanity as much as anything else!), which is now released and available on the New World record label.
His favourite tour to date was without doubt the most recent Orchestral tour with Ian Anderson in America, during which he made some lifelong friends, lost three cellphones, a camera, four pairs of trousers, countless dollars and still managed to play a gig in Torrington, Connecticut twenty minutes after being knocked down by a passing Buick. Priceless.
Kit Morgan accepts cash donations, used clothing and welcome assistance by old ladies while crossing the road.

Progressive program
"This is a progressive program, and producers can determine their level of involvement. The more producers know about and test for Johne's disease, the better for them and their customers."
Carter says the incidence of Johne's disease in dairy and beef herds can be reduced significantly when producers know about Johne's disease and implement measures—including testing—to reduce the transmission of MAP. He says Johne's disease is estimated to be present in 68 percent of U.S. dairy operations and eight out of 100 U.S. beef herds.
A National Animal Health Monitoring Systems study found that infected dairy herds experience an average loss of $40 per cow in herds with a low Johne's disease clinical cull rate while herds with a high Johne's disease clinical cull rate lost on average of $227 per cow. Beef cows clinically infected with Johne's disease produce less milk resulting in lighter calves at weaning, and infected cows can be slower to breed back.

The ability to use comparatives, both the comparative and superlative degrees, reflects a certain level of cognitive or conceptual maturity. Hargis (1977) commented on the importance of comparative constructions in communicating cognitive processes such as seriation and conservation. ...

The preceding chapters introduced conjoinings, relativizations, and comparatives.

The previous chapters on coordination and relativization centered on two of the four processes used for relating propositions.

There are syntactic forms for reporting discourse either verbatim (exactly, e.g., Mother said, "Dad will be late") or in an indirect way (e.g., Mother said that Dad would be late).

Miss Jefferson County is an official Miss Alabama America preliminary. As a local preliminary in the Miss America organization, Miss Jefferson County is a part of the largest scholarship resource for young women in the world. In order for young ladies to compete in the Miss Alabama America state program, they must hold a preliminary title. Miss Jefferson County is a title that serves as a ticket to Miss Alabama. Also, Miss Jefferson County strives to be a servant in the community. It is a requirement of the Miss America organization for each state and local contestant to be actively involved in community service—with an issue important to them and with the national platform of the Children's Miracle Network that has been adopted by Miss America.
It takes hard work from volunteers for the Miss Jefferson County program to exist. We are a not-for-profit organization (501c6); so, each year, the volunteers have to raise money for every aspect involved in producing Miss Jefferson County—from providing scholarships to the winner and alternates to putting on the production. Last year, Miss Jefferson County received $1000 in scholarship money and over thirty other prizes. We wish to match or increase that number this year.

American Express and the US Travel Association (a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting US travel) have partnered to offer discounts and deals with various travel brands and loyalty programs during the next month, including hotel packages, points/miles purchase promos, rental car discounts and more. These deals are called the Daily Getaways.
Each day we'll hash out the details of that day's deal to see whether it's worth taking advantage of.
Today's deal goes live at 1 pm EDT, and you can sign up for alerts if you'd like to be notified when the deals go live.
All of these promotions have the added benefit that you can receive an additional 10% for purchasing with an Amex card, like the Platinum and Premier Rewards Gold, or even co-branded cards like Delta Gold and the Starwood Preferred Guest Amex.
Daily Getaway For Wednesday May 21: Choice Privilege Points
- 20,000 Choice Privileges points for $108 (.54 cents per point, 216 available)
- 32,000 Choice Privileges points for $132 (.41 cents per point, 655 available)
- 36,000 Choice Privileges points for $175 (.49 cents per point, 785 available)
- 40,000 Choice Privileges points for $165 (.41 cents per point, 325 available)
The deals are marketed as free nights for different hotels, but in reality they're just bundles of points that you can use however you choose.
When used for hotel rooms, Choice Privileges points offer great value in Europe, where you can find rooms for just 8,000-10,000 points per night in low season. Combined with the poor exchange rate, these rooms would cost much more if paid for in cash.
For example, I searched for a two night stay in Rome at the end of June, and found three hotels available, all in the 8,000-10,000 point range. If you purchased the 32,000 point deal for $132 (or $119 with the Amex discount), you could get three or four nights in these hotels at $33 per night (or $30 with discount), whereas the cost would be $92-150 per night if paid in cash.
You can also transfer 5,000 points to get 1,000 miles in several airline programs affiliated with Choice Privileges (such as United or American). Transfers to Southwest or Alaska may be a better bet, since they're often more flexible than other airlines, and transferred points count towards your Southwest Companion Pass. If you need a boost to reach the 110,000 point Companion Pass mark, 6,000 Choice Privileges points transfers to 1,800 Rapid Rewards points. If you bought 40,000 Choice points for $165 (or $149 with the Amex discount), you could transfer 36,000 of them to get 10,800 Rapid Rewards points. Essentially you'd be buying Rapid Rewards at 1.375 cents per point (which is slightly less than the value you get by using them for Wanna Get Away fares), while also earning your Companion Pass.
In conclusion, this deal may be worth it if you have an upcoming trip and you can price out your hotels beforehand, or if you want to top off your Southwest account in pursuit of a Companion Pass. There are plenty of deals available, so unlike yesterday's Hertz deal, there's a good chance you can get the one you want!

Angela Gwinn did not choose music as a career. Music chose her, and, she's glad it did.
"When God gives you a gift, you have to do with it what you can," said the Cedar Falls, Iowa, native who now lives in Fort Mill.
The talented opera soprano is one of nine musicians who will perform here Sunday in the annual Helen Robinson Memorial Music Recital at First United Methodist Church.
While Gwinn has performed on stages from New York to New Zealand, she is right at home standing on a church pulpit.
In 1976, The Manhattans recorded a track that included a memorable opening rap by Winfred "Blue" Lovett, followed by the impassioned vocals of lead singer Gerald Alston.
From the start, Lovett said this song was different.
Since 1965, he had composed his share of songs for the polished vocal group with some of them taking weeks to arrange. But nothing ever happened.
Some of those songs, Lovett said, he heard in his sleep, but he was too tired to make it to his piano.
Chances are high that you're wearing something green right now.
It might be a shirt, blouse, scarf, hat or even a temporary tattoo.
If you are, happy St. Patrick's Day.
If you aren't wearing green, get ready to be pinched and happy St. Patrick's Day.
First observed in Boston 273 years ago (1737), St. Patrick's Day continues to be one of America's favorite holidays.
The holiday, which is named after the patron saint of Ireland came to this country via its Irish immigrants.
WAXHAW – When Arthur Lightbody gets to work March 20, he knows those walking past his office door may do a double-take once they get a brief glance at his unusual attire.
Some, he said, are already questioning why he's been talking to himself out loud in the break room.
But if you see Lightbody's one-man show at Andrew Jackson State Park at noon that day, everything will make perfect sense.
The media relations officer and vice president of communications for JAARS is a president, too.
A recent survey from ConAgra Foods shows that 49 percent of Americans say they are often short on time and energy when it comes to preparing meals.
On hectic days, a cook's best friend is a slow cooker.
Busy cooks who want convenience and flavor can use a slow cooker to prepare family-pleasing, one-dish meals. All they require to make a hearty meal is a few simple ingredients placed together early in the morning or late at night.
From meats and casseroles to soups, dips, pastas and, yes, even desserts, this handy appliance can do it all.
INDIAN LAND – Lauri Pistolis got more than she bargained for when she headed to Memphis, Tenn., last month to help a friend handle the horses on a movie set.
But she's not complaining.
Pistolis wound up being the stunt double for female lead Leonor Varela in the upcoming movie, "A Fine Step."
That meant Pistolis got to ride the film's real star, Substituto, a 5-year-old champion Paso Fino stallion in his first movie role.
You don't have to tell Kelly Gibson the winter of 2009-10 is tied for the fourth coldest in South Carolina history.
And it's not just here. It's been just cold and wet across most of the southeast, including Florida.
Gibson knows it whenever one word – tomato – gets mentioned.
Those three syllables can make the owner of the South 200 Drive-In Restaurant grimace, stare at the floor and shake her head.
The cantus chamber choir and brass quintet from the S.C. Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities won't have much trouble finding First Presbyterian Church next Tuesday.
One of its members knows exactly where the church is.
Former Andrew Jackson High School student Sara Parker is now a senior at the Governor's School in Greenville.
"This is a big trip for us," said Dr. David Rhyne, who is the choral instructor there.
Good food is more than a smidgen of this and a pinch of that.
Good food is about doing things the right way in a clean kitchen, washing your hands and not taking unhealthy shortcuts.
Not only have 26 Lancaster High students been learning how to cook from scratch this year in the culinary arts class, they've also been learning why you don't scratch while you cook through a 12-hour nationally accredited ServSafe Food Safety certification course.
In 2007, the yard of the Springs House on West Gay Street received a little makeover from The Lancaster Garden Club.
Six boxwoods found a new home along the front porch.
Now, after a complete overhaul last spring, the joint headquarters for Lancaster County Council of the Arts and See Lancaster SC and arts gallery has been named as the February Yard of the Month by the Lancaster Council of Garden Clubs. In February, the council always selects a business or public building as its yard of the month.

Some painters mesmerize me. Albert Pinkham Ryder, Mark Rothko, and Georges Rouault, for example. Their work glows, albeit in different ways. Yet it's Rouault I continue to follow.
Why Rouault?
I grew up around art and a few artists. I looked to people who had a reverence for the world at large. A natural contemplative awareness developed, as in many children before it is covered over. Call it awe, which Abraham Heschel describes as an "intuition for the dignity of all things, a realization that things not only are what they are but also stand, however remotely, for something supreme."
No wonder I became both a photographer and an Episcopal deacon.
History, Imagination and the Holy Spirit
For Ben Quash, scripture and tradition are givens. Our task is to discover and reinterpret what we have been given.
The Spirit-filled art of Sawai Chinnawong
Chinnawong is persuaded that he must live into the gospel as a Thai artist. But the pastor who baptized him called his paintings "Buddhist."
Academic theology can have a future only if theologians themselves are interested in it. Why should anybody else read it if theologians are so caught up in experimenting with every philosophical movement and political program that they ignore their own field? If this volume is any indication, theology seems to have rediscovered itself as a tradition with its own resources and issues.

Are you ready for your family holiday vacation? You'll have a lot of company, with AAA projecting that the number of year-end holiday travelers will go over 100 million for the first time.
But if you're hitting the road, know that you'll face more driving dangers this time of the year than others. Freezing temperatures, snow, and ice are settling across most of the country, and elsewhere wet leaves and early sunsets can make driving less-traveled roads a little more dangerous.
To ensure the safety of you and your entourage as you embark on your holiday travel plans, it's smart to take steps to winterize your car now.
Prepare Your CarChange Your Oil
Oil varies in viscosity, or flow property. Thick oil flows like sludge; thin oil moves like maple syrup. The "10W30" on an oil refers to the flow rate; the lower the number, the thinner the oil. In winter, low temperatures lower the flow rate of oil, so you might consider using a less viscous oil, such as 5W30. This six-pack of 1-quart Mobil 1 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil ($27.78 for Sam's Club members; expires December 31) will get you through the winter. Changing your own oil can save you money, but if you're hesitant to change it yourself, take your car to an auto shop. Note that winter-optimized oils may cost extra.
Flush and Fill Your Radiator
Radiator fluid degrades over time. For the winter, the mixture should contain at least 50% radiator fluid, which should keep your coolant moving down to -34℉. An inexpensive device called a coolant tester can get the job done. Now is also a good time to inspect hoses for leaks and replace them as needed.
Fill Your Windshield Wiper Reservoir
Not all windshield wiper fluid is formulated with enough nonfreezing ingredients to keep it flowing in cold weather, so check the label to make sure your solution is made for winter conditions. Also think about getting a windshield wiper fluid heater.
Consider Winter Wiper Blades
If you deal with a lot of snow and icy road spray, you may want to upgrade to winter wiper blades, too. Winter wiper blades have a rubber coating that keeps ice from building up. The Car Talk radio show guys warn, though, that it's a bad idea to keep winter wiper blades on year-round because they are heavier and could prematurely wear out the motor on your wipers.
Buy Snow Tires
If you're destined to deal with heavy snowfall, invest in a set of snow tires. (Just don't buy them used.) All-season tires, which are also popular, are a compromise between high-mileage tires for summer and snow-gripping tread for winter. A winter tire, on the other hand, is made specifically for traveling in the snow, with more aggressive tread patterns and a softer compound that won't get hard and glassy in cold weather.
It's also important to keep an eye on your tire pressure when the weather is foul. An overinflated tire won't grip as well, and an underinflated tire dangerously compromises a car's handling. This Digital Tire Gauge ($7.49 with free in-store pickup) is an easy-to-use option.
Check Your Battery
Batteries run by a chemical process, and that process is slowed when the temperature plummets. Have your car shop check your battery to make sure it's putting out enough juice. If not, now's a good time to replace it. And if your car battery isn't a sealed battery, check the water level in each compartment while you're at it. Also examine the cables, especially where they attach to the poles of your batteries — they should be firm and free of corrosion. If not, tighten the connection and use a wire brush to remove the corrosion.
Stock Up on Winter and Emergency Supplies
A little advance planning can minimize the dangers of winter driving. Part of that also means stocking up on the right equipment to deal with breakdowns.
Lock De-Icer
A spray can of glycerine can help thaw those pesky frozen locks that occur when melting ice trickles in. You can pick up a de-icer at your local auto parts or big box store, but if it's already too cold to make the trip to a brick-and-mortar store, there are many inexpensive options on Amazon.
Blanket or Tarp
In the event of being snowed in inside your car, you'll want an emergency blanket on hand. Cotton blankets lose heat when wet, so opt for a synthetic or wool blend blanket. A plastic tarp to kneel on while changing a tire might also come in handy.
Boots and Gloves
Get a good grip on the situation with a spare pair of boots and work gloves. But again, not cotton gloves. A good work glove is this two-pair set of Orange Fleece Safety Gloves ($3.99 via coupon code "GXS-1", with free shipping).
Ice Scraper
Make sure your ice scraper is long enough to reach the middle of the windshield and sturdy enough to knock snow off the roof.
Small Shovel
Every once in a while there's a situation where you'll need to shovel yourself out of a snow bank. A small utility shovel is just the ticket.
Pack some spare batteries for a flashlight that's bright enough in case you have to change a flat tire in the dark. Check DealNews for bargain flashlights, like the Cree SWAT 3-watt Tactical Rechargeable Flashlight ($9.99 with free shipping, a low by $5), as they appear regularly.
Jumper Cables
On the coldest of mornings, even reliable car batteries can fail, and if you want to get going, you'll need a jump from someone. Finding that someone is much easier if you have your own jumper cables. And if you really want to be prepared, grab the DieHard 50-amp Shelf Battery Charger and Engine Starter ($39.99 with free shipping).
Tire Chains
In the deepest snows, tire chains — which fit around your tires, providing additional grip — are especially useful. Tire chains come in a variety of sizes to fit different vehicles and wheels. They can get pricey if you're buying for all four wheels, but Amazon has a variety of discounted tire chains that are at least 50% off.
Bag of Abrasive Materials
Sand or salt tossed under your wheels can help with traction to get unstuck. Even a little cat litter can help get you moving. If your car has rear-wheel drive, carrying this weight over the rear axle could help the car's handling, too.
A few minutes of preparation today can save you from grueling hours of frustration when the snow begins to fall. If this winter is worse than last, you'll appreciate the forethought.

help me learn to love green juice!
I am a longtime vegan who hates raw vegetables. Can you give me some blended juice and/or smoothie recipes that minimize the vegetal taste as much as possible without forgoing fresh veg altogether? Difficulty level: No celery, please, I cannot bear the idea of eating or drinking celery in this lifetime. [more inside]
Fridge-Clearing Curry Refinements?
I'm making a fridge clearing chicken curry tomorrow (generic type, spices, coconut milk, peanut oil and ghee, carrots and onion and peas and whatever ends of greens or stay tomato we have) and I was wondering what I could do to dress it up? Stuff like grinding and roasting whole spices or adding toasted nuts. Things you could do if you wanted an easy fridge-clearing curry recipe but also had some time to refine and fuss over the little touches. [more inside]
Request for Disguised Veggie Recipes!
My daughter needs to increase her vegetable intake, but refuses to eat most veggies. What recipes will allow us to disguise her vegetables in other foods? [more inside]
Dinner vegetables for kiddo: beyond broccoli and green beans
Somehow, we're in a rut on dinner vegetables that our little guy will also like. Our staples are green beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, and asparagus, though he doesn't like asparagus too often. Salad greens are still not to his liking. How can we bring some variety to our dinner greens? What are other good greens, and how can we quickly prepare them, or prepare on the weekend and store for the week? [more inside]
Veggie dishes that hold well in frigde or freezer?
When I make have five to seven servings of veg a day, I feel great and lose weight, regardless of whatever other rich foods come my way. Standbys now are roasted cauliflower, broccoli and asparagus. These all reheat well (and are great straight out of the fridge) but I'd like to expand the options. [more inside]
Dreaming of Ottolenghi and Amada; stuck on frozen gyoza
I love cooking, but it's been a while since I've cooked on a regular basis (besides throwing together ingredients for salads and pastas) and even longer since I put together a proper meal with courses. I'm a pretty decent cook (and I have a list of favorite blogs, like Smitten Kitchen and 101 Cookbooks) but nothing's clicking, and I want recipes that are complicated and fun and delicious for a change of pace! And so I turn to you, AskMetafilter: help me find awesome, vegetarian, delicious, adventurous dishes to usher in 2014. [more inside]

Convince me that kale can actually be tasty
We get a lot of kale from our CSA, and we pretty much know it's headed for the compost. Have tried many recipes that turn out nasty -- kale chips that won't dry, sauteed kale that's too bitter to choke down, etc. -- and have yet to find anything that gets us excited to use this vegetable, no matter how healthy. (Yes, I do make some green shakes, but one bunch in the freezer can fuel me for a year on that front! We have 3-4 bunches in the fridge right now.) I should say that the one exception was a recipe called "Carolina kale," which involves some stewed tomatoes and cumin, but our experience after making it a few times is that we love it on day 1 but then never want to touch the leftovers, so then that feels like a waste too. So, metafites, convince me that kale is fit for human consumption! wow me with your best, genuinely delicious, kale recipes, before it's compost time again!
Looking for vegetable recipes to go with tacos
Foodies of MeFi: I need new side dishes to make for taco night! Difficulty: vegetables, but not corn, beans, green salad, or squash. [more inside]
Fatty, fiber-full, and filling foods
What are your favorite recipes that fulfill the following criteria: low in carbohydrates, lots of good fats, medium to generous on the fiber, and filling/hearty? I'm thinking veggies, soups, and sides, mostly, since that's where my recipe book is weakest. [more inside]

Hi all, I recently started the F-Factor diet For the first two weeks carbs are limited to fiber crackers, all bran, 0% greek yogurt, and one piece of fruit a day. No beans or starchy vegetables. You are allowed a small amount of fat (like a few slices of avocado, or a few peanuts, or a couple teaspoons of oil. Other than that you can have a lot of lean protein (fish, turkey, egg whites, skinless chicken, pork, light cheese, lean beef with fat removed etc.) and vegetables. Unfortunately I'm going away to a cabin this weekend and everyone else will be drinking like fishes and eating crazy fattening food. What are some things that I can make with lean protein and vegetables (and maybe the small amount of fat I'm allowed) that would be tolerable if not delicious. I will have access to a very basic kitchen (nothing fancy but at least a refrigerator, oven and stove). Thanks!

The Beleaguered Faithful (Updated)
*We have received this from a friend of MichaelYoussef.com, and for the sake of fairness we are posting the article.* Click Here
Many of the faithful are wondering if we are at the beginning of the end in the US—as a civilization, as a bastion of freedom, as a force for God and good.
Sadly, the church is often leading the way toward that end. It seems like news about some compromise of our convictions bombards us daily. The media and even some elements within the church afford respect and reverence to every religion and group, except it seems, to those with deep Christian convictions.
Even some evangelical Christians have abandoned the courage to speak the truth in love, exchanging it for popularity. Take the recent article from the Orange County Register that highlights evangelical pastor Rick Warren's belief that "Christians and Muslims worship the same God."
No one can enter the pastor's heart and know his motive except God, but that belief totally contradicts an earlier statement that he made (also quoted in the article): ". . . Jesus is the only way, and our inerrant Bible is our only true authority."
I love Muslims. I have hosted them in my home. Once, my wife and I gave our Muslim guests our master bedroom for a night as an expression of hospitality. But loving Muslims does not include misleading them into thinking that the "Isa" in the Qur'an is the same as Jesus of the New Testament. A desire to love, understand, and help Muslims in every way does not require us to forsake our own stated convictions.
Perhaps the pastor does not understand the Islamic principle of Taqiah, where infidels can be accommodated while Muslims are in the minority and in need of help, but then jihad follows when they get the upper hand.
Perhaps the pastor does not understand that the Jesus of the New Testament came as a divider, not a uniter. (People who combine contradictory beliefs such as Christianity and Islam are known as syncretists.) Out of a desire to be liked and accepted, perhaps the pastor and others have decided to ignore Jesus' word, that he "came to bring a sword," meaning that we can either accept Him or reject Him, but not both.
The article states that Warren's evangelical church and its Muslim neighbors have agreed not to evangelize each other. Instead, they have held an interfaith soccer game. But by not evangelizing, the church denies Muslims the joy of being saved from the everlasting destruction that comes to those who reject the Christ of the Bible—the God of the very God, who became a man to save everyone who repents and believes in Him.
If this was an isolated incident, one could take solace that this thinking was rare and muddled at best. But sadly, more and more churches, mainline and evangelical, have sold their birthright for the pot of soup of likability and acceptability.
Had the apostles sold out, they would have saved themselves from martyrdom, but they would have caused the catastrophic loss of the inerrant Bible—the catastrophic loss of the truth.
But they didn't sell out. They loved everyone while never compromising the truth.
That is my appeal to all fellow believers who are led astray by the lure of acceptance. Return to the example of the apostles. Return to the truth of loving people without compromising biblical truth.

William Norwich Leaves Vogue for Town & Country
Sources say the new editor of 'Town & Country' want to make it more like 'Tatler.'
William Norwich is leaving his job as contributing editor of Vogue, which he's held since 2004, for a loftier position at Town & Country. Sources say new editor-in-chief Stephen Drucker wants to turn the magazine into something like Tatler. Drucker told WWD he wants to make Norwich part of his "inner circle" and that he "won't just be a columnist or contributor. He'll help me construct a new, more exciting Town & Country."
Norwich says Anna Wintour is "very excited" for him. At Vogue, Norwich had his own column, "Norwich Notes," in which he frolicked around the globe writing about the time he ate tomato salads with Vera Wang or the time saw a socialite being pretty. He also writes sporadically for Vogue.com, covering things like Ginnifer Goodwin getting her picture drawn. And so he leaves behind a highly desirable position! Somewhere, Derek Blasberg is busy updating his résumé.

Because there's a formula in place, the New York Giants have known their 13 2013 regular-season opponents for quite a while. But now that the schedule has been announced by the NFL, complete with dates and times, it feels a little more real.
Plus, it gives us a chance to take part in the time-honored tradition of scanning the schedule from week to week while handing out wins and losses.
Here's a complete breakdown of what the G-Men will be dealing with this fall, along with predictions for each week.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Mixed feelings
Posted by Reviewer2111977 on Jun 24, 2012
Like all high-quality triglyceride-form fish oils, this is much more digestible than ethyl-ester form fish oils. On that basis, I'd give this product five stars. However, this particular product seems to be strangely sedative for me, which isn't something that I generally associate with a high-EPA fish oil of any type, given that I generally take high-EPA fish oils specifically for their stimulant and antidepressant qualities. For that reason, I prefer the Minami MorO-3 triglyceride-form fish oil to this. This isn't bad; it just doesn't work as well for me as does the other product.
it really help
Posted by Reviewer2281801 on Mar 04, 2011
I was first introduced this product by a friend and has taken one capsule times a day for a month. Then I took a blood test and the level of cholestrol and triglyceride was lower to normal, so I keep on taking it as well.
Great product!

Given are all the possible 10 number combinations (NOT permutations) of the numbers 11 - 26 (8008 combinations), and 4 random numbers from the 11 - 26 sequence.
How do I find out how many of the 8008 combinations contain
a. all 4 random numbers?
b. 3 of the 4, 2 of the 4, 1 of the 4 and 0 of the 4 random numbers respectively??
There are 16 numbers from 11 to 26 inclusive.
If you set aside your four random numbers, you want to choose 6 of the remaining 12 to go with them.
There are ways to do that.
There are ways to choose 3 of the 4 random numbers.
For each of those choices there are ways to choose 7 numbers to go with them,
such that 3 of the 4 random numbers are chosen.
There are ways to choose 2 of the 4 random numbers.
There are ways to match them with 8 others that do not belong to the random numbers.
Same strategy for the remaining selections.

Charleston SC Ideas?
There is also a place on James Island called The Lot-- very very impressive, a farm-to-table sort of place. Then you can go next door to the Pour House and have a beer and listen to whatever they have going on. Good little local James Island spot.
Charleston SC Ideas?
Head uptown! In addition to Martha Lou's, we have so many fantastic places north of the crosstown! I would HIGHLY recommend Edmund's Oast, it just opened in February on North Morrison (NoMo). Awesome beer selection plus the house beers, plus great cocktails, and good dishes and charcuterie OMG, just great everything. It is pricy, comparable to Fig/Husk/etc. Probably need a reservation.
Uptown we also have The Tattooed Moose (deli/bar) with the famous duck club sandwich (and other yummies), also on NoMo by Edmunds Oast. Go to Moe's Crosstown for your neighborhood bar fix (I'll be there, most likely, that's my haunt), and Park Cafe is a recently opened amazing breakfast/lunch/dinner spot--both of those are on Rutledge Ave by Hampton Park. Hampton Park is also very lovely for a stroll!
Butcher and Bee (upper upper King)is open 11-3 and 11-3 (lunch and late nite) and it will rock your socks off.
And for weekday lunch or Saturday brunch-- Hello My Name is BBQ on Meeting St, by the intersection at Huger St. Awesome BBQ and super friendly folks! The bottomless mimosas on Saturday are the most bottomless you will ever have. I'm not kidding, they got a City Paper award for it.
Get yourself to the Downtown Farmers Market at Marion Square on Saturday, lots of food booths, craft booths, veggies, and amazing people-watching and dog-watching.
There are also tons of tasty food trucks around town, keep an eye out or check their facebook pages to see where they are. My faves are Diggity Donuts, Hello My Name is BBQ, Refuelers, and Little Star of the Caribbean.
Charleston Riverdogs minor league baseball game!! There will be interesting food choices, like pickle-dog and bacon wrapped corndog, and beer shakes. Fireworks on Fri nights.
Oh, you know what is fun? Visiting the breweries (if you are into beerz). Palmetto brewery (Huger ST, uptown) has a cool music/beer/food truck thing on Friday nights. Holy City Brewing is always having something fun (bands, yoga, etc), and also Coast Brewery has tastings. Get a DD for those high gravity beers, though!
Summertime in Charleston is so fun! :) Hope you have a great time!

you don't get high ON Cinnabon, you get high then EAT Cinnabon. ;)

What should I put in a piñata?
I have a few tips for adult pinatas:
- it gets really heavy, especially with booze, you don't need to cram it full to the gills. Also you may want to reinforce the inside with some additional cardboard or something on the bottom before loading up
- plastic bottles of course
- if the person with the stick is not compromised somehow (blindfold, or inebriated), it only takes like one whack from an adult to bust a pinata. that's no fun, make it a challenge
- once the pinata is busted, get the stick away from the whacker asap because they will keep swinging but people will be diving to get the goodies.
- little toys, mardi gras beads, etc are fun, be sure they can take a beating
- you can do little baggies of cookies or treats. just be sure they are more chewy than crispy
- if you get store-bought candy, get things wrapped with a seal (e.g., don't put Hershey kisses in there because the foil will come off)
- again-- you don't need to fill it up completely! if you want more fluff, put in crepe paper, party hats or something
ok last thing-- a friend of mine from El Salvador told me a story from when she was a child. She went to a party with a pinata and it was filled with live crabs. surprise! haha
Ham Hocks and Crowder Peas From 'Down South'
@TexasDee- I agree, those don't look like the crowder peas I know (in GA, we call them zipper peas sometimes). The ones in the photo look something closer to black eyed peas.
Why I Love Hotel Bars
There is a Holiday Inn bar (top floor of about 15 stories or so) in my city that happens to have the best view of the cityscape, and baseball game fireworks during the summer! I love it, and it's never crowded, and you meet interesting people there. Meh on the food but the beer selection has improved recently with some good local craft options.
I'm quitting the site
I just wanted to add, it's so strange to me when folks get upset about what other people eat or don't eat. Diet is personal and we are all super lucky to be able to choose what we eat. So what if a person doesn't eat some particular food, it doesn't detract from your love of that food. They are not vegan-ing AT you, they're just vegan-ing. who cares. It's fun to talk about our diversity! :) love all you guys! y'all make my day on a regular basis.

Life choices based on food?
One of the big reasons I chose my field of study (marine fisheries management)is that I'd always get to eat great seafood, because I would always have to live on the coast and I would always need to know the local fishermen. So far it is working out very well.
Also my boyfriend is a chef.
Charleston: Circa 1886 or The Grocery?
I don't know if this is too late, but my meal at The Grocery was the best I've had in Charleston (I'm a local). Hands down WOWZA. You'll love Two Boroughs also if you hadn't been before.

Epic Road Trip California to Florida and back
In the FL panhandle, if you are driving near the coast: in Grayton Beach (~30 mi from Panama City Beach) there is a fantastic place called the Red Bar. lots of seafood and other specialty dishes. Quirky.
If you are going I-10 East through Tallahassee to 75 South to the FL Turnpike, stop in Gainesville FL and hit Satchel's Pizza. It's a funky place with lots of folk art, great pizza and calzones, amazing salad. [Go Gators!]
If you are going I-10 East to 95 South/ A1A, there is a great little pizza place called Kelseys in Port Canaveral. Continue to Titusville for Dixie Crossroads for rock shrimp and other local catch. The northern to central Atlantic coast of FL is pretty much the only place where rock shrimp are harvested in the eastern US. If you've never had rock shrimp, they are served broiled and taste like little lobster. [note, sometimes Dixie Crossroads doesn't have local rock shrimp so you should call before.]
When you get to Ft Lauderdale, you will have your choice of amazing Cuban restaurants. YUM! Have a guava pastry for me!
Apple Season
You can put sliced apples, a little sugar and cinnamon and nutmeg in that pillsbury crescent rolls dough and bake them, and get a really tasty and simple dessert.
how about hot beverages for the winter? coffee and baileys, spiced rum and cider, peppermint schnapps and hot chocolate, things like that.
you could also go for a mocktail and get a sprite with a splash of bitters and splash of coke. Or soda with lime.
Tom Collins (with gin) and I second getting a hard cider. There are craft ciders available in lots of places and they are fantastic! I love ciders, man.
Open Thread: What Strange Yet Delicious Toppings Do You Like on Your Burger?
fried green tomato, please and thank you!
Carolina Gold Rice
Yes, they sell it all around town here in Charleston. I will be honest--it's tasty but if I don't find it especially different, and I've served it to friends/family and no one has ever commented on it being outstanding or anything. For me, it's too expensive to buy regularly ($7-8 for 2 lb bag). You could doctor up another (less expensive) fluffy type of rice and it would be the same. My two cents.
Crockpot Convert
My mom used to season a whole chicken and wrap in foil, then into the crock pot to slow cook all day. Amazing! Also pot roast is great and I have made lasagna in a crock pot. I also use it to cook beans and boiled peanuts--anything that takes a few hours. Southern-style chicken and rice.

Apple said Tuesday that it would spend $3.9 billion onto securing supplies of an undisclosed technology that it believes would be important for the company as well as for the industry at large. The company declined to disclose the type of the technology as well as its intention.
"During the September and December quarters, we executed long-term supply agreements with three vendors through which we expect to spend a total of approximately $3.9 billion in inventory component prepayments and capital expenditures over a two-year period. We made approximately $650 million in payments under these agreements in the December quarter, and anticipate making $1.05 billion in payments in the March quarter," said Peter Oppenheimer, chief executive officer of Apple, during the recent conference call with financial analysts.
Tim Cook, the chief operating officer of Apple did not reveal any details about the technology, but compared the supply agreement to the flash agreement from 2005.
"It is something I do not want to give out because I view it as a competitive, something I just do not want our competition knowing. From our point of view on the design side, we design components where we believe we can innovate beyond what's available in the market. […] As you probably remember, we have historically entered into certain agreements with different people to secure supply and other benefits. The largest one in the recent past has been we signed a deal with several flash suppliers back at the end of 2005 that totaled over $1 billion because we anticipated that flash would become increasingly important across our entire product line and increasingly important to the industry," said Mr. Cook.
One the thing that is known about the tech is that it requires process equipment and tooling, which means that the technology is yet untapped and may be in the stage of experimental or low-scale production. Another thing is that it is available from three vendors.
"We constantly look for more of these [technologies]. So, in the past several quarters we have identified another area and come to some recent agreements […]. These payments consist of prepayments and capital for process equipment and tooling. Similar to the flash agreements, they are focused in that area we feel is very strategic. And so I would prefer not to go into more detail about what specific area it is in, but it is the same kind of thinking that led us to those deals that led us to the flash deal," added Tim Cook.
There are a number of promising technologies on the market in different areas, including batteries, displays, storage and other. The announcement by Apple mostly means that it plans to utilize an innovative technology that is not in mass production today.
