Fall Fashion: Burgundy Accents
<p>From the style mind that brought you HeSpokeStyle comes Burgundy Accents, and another sparsely clothed gallery from Playboy. </p>
Over the past few years, burgundy has become nothing less than a staple menswear color. The combination of its approachability, versatility and sophistication has helped secure its place in the stylish modern man's wardrobe. And while it has appeared throughout the range of men's clothing—from sweaters to trousers to shoes and even full suits—it can often make its biggest and most stylishly subtle impact as an accent to a well-tailored and put together look.
Because of burgundy's versatility, it pairs well with just about anything, especially the colors that form the foundation of most men's wardrobes, including black, navy, gray and brown. As an alternative to a standard and bold red accent color, burgundy projects confidence, maturity and a certain sartorial sophistication.
For men who may be hesitant to add a splash of color to their repertoire, burgundy can be a gateway. It's muted, subtle and totally masculine. Hell, a slightly more brownish and purple variant of burgundy is called oxblood. It doesn't get more masculine than that.
In terms of accenting an outfit, a simple and stylish way to do so is through a tie, pocket square and sock combination. When choosing these accessories, always avoid matching them exactly, especially when it comes to the first two; nothing says "style novice" more than a perfectly matched tie and pocket square. Instead, choose pieces that complement each other as well as the look as a whole. Great accessories will not only accent a look but will actually pull it together into something extremely cohesive. The devil is in the details. A great outfit will make an impact from a distance but will also reward closer inspection.

The Starke County Commissioners heard a report on the First Responder Training from Charlie Collins and Kris Rannells. There are now 9 certified first responders since November 15th. All scored over 90% and are operating at this time.
Every fire department in the County now has at least one first responder. The protocols are written and have been approved, according to Rannells.

St. Louis, Mo., June 12, 2000 - New scientific testing resolves the long-standing debate over whether the Neandertals were merely scavengers who snatched the leftovers of nature's predators or were themselves high-level carnivores with adept hunting skills.
An international team of scientists firmly concludes the latter in a report to be published June 20 in the prestigious journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The article will be posted on the PNAS Web site at http://www.pnas.org on June 13.
Through bone-chemistry analyses, the team determined the Neandertals must have feasted on meat. The Neandertal diet - which may have included mammoths - was similar to other top-level carnivores from the time period, such as wolves and lions, the researchers said.
"This research puts to end the argument about whether the Neandertals were primarily scavengers," said team member Erik Trinkaus, Ph.D., an anthropologist at Washington University in St. Louis. "With a diet dominated by animal protein, the Neandertals must have been effective predators. This implies a much higher degree of social organization and behavioral complexity than is frequently attributed to the Neandertals."
Michael P. Richards, Ph.D., of the University of Oxford, U.K., and of Simon Fraser University, Canada, led the team, which included Trinkaus; Fred Smith, chairman of the Department of Anthropology at Northern Illinois University; and other researchers at Oxford, the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts and the University of Zagreb, Croatia.
The scientists analyzed a jawbone and skull bone from two Neandertals recently dated to about 28,000 years old. The fossils were recovered at the Vindija cave site, located about 34 miles north of the Croatian capital of Zagreb. Researchers then compared the bone composition with other central European animals of the same time period, including wolves, wild cattle, mammoths, arctic fox and cave bear.
Smith noted: "For several decades, archaeologists have debated the importance of meat in the Neandertal diet, but this question never has been answered unequivocally. Our findings provide conclusive proof that European Neandertals were top-level carnivores who lived on a diet of mainly hunted animal meat."
By itself, archaeological evidence - in the form of remains of animal bones and stone tools that were used for hunting - provides only a glimpse of Neandertal diets. Some scientists have argued that there was little evidence that the Neandertals were accomplished hunters.
"We've known meat clearly was a part of the diet of the Neandertals, but it was impossible, from the archaeological evidence alone, to see the actual proportion of meat in their diets," Smith said. "Stable-isotope analysis yields a direct measure of human diet, since our bones record the isotope signatures of the foods we ate in our lifetimes. By measuring these isotope signatures in fossil bones, we can reconstruct aspects of the diets of humans and animals from the past."
The new evidence suggests the European Neandertals may have eaten almost exclusively meat. "It's still hard for us to know for certain, but it doesn't appear that they were getting much in the way of nutrients from something other than meat," Smith said.
Trinkaus added: "The isotope data - combined with archaeological analysis of faunal remains and tools found with the Neandertal fossils - indicate that hunting of mammals was a major element of their subsistence. Conversely, plant foods are almost invisible in the archeological record, making it impossible to estimate accurately their dietary importance."
The new findings, along with data from older samples of Neandertal fossils in France and Belgium, show a pattern of European Neandertal adaptation as carnivores, the researchers said.
The Neandertals commonly are portrayed as prehistoric humans of limited capabilities who were rapidly replaced and driven to extinction by superior early modern humans, once the latter appeared in Europe. The team's findings not only offer new information about the European Neandertals' diet, but also about their social behavior, including manipulation of their environment.
"There's no reason to believe Neandertals were any less efficient exploiters of the environment than modern humans," Smith said.
In a study last fall involving Vindija fossils, members of the same research team documented through radiocarbon dating that the Neandertals roamed central Europe as recently as 28,000 years ago, representing the latest date ever recorded for Neandertal fossils. These previous findings - combined with recent evidence of late Neandertal survival in Iberia and of Neandertal-modern human interbreeding in Portugal, the latter of which also was published in PNAS - indicate that the Neandertals were able to coexist and interact successfully with early modern humans spreading across Europe at the time.
"The new bone-chemistry data combined with evidence of sustained Neandertal coexistence and interbreeding with early modern humans offer a positive picture of the Neandertals and may make it easier for some to accept the possibility that the Neandertals were among the ancestors of early modern humans," said Trinkaus, professor of anthropology in Arts and Sciences.

Ill check it out. he will have plugs and muffs on for target but hunting is a whole differant matter and running a break then can cause issues.Quote:
1Biggun, if you're putting a muzzle brake on your sons barrel to bring it up to 16", consider making a Levang type comp. They work pretty well to direct the muzzle blast down range on my 223 coyote gun. For a youngster it would be nice not to have all the muzzle blast frpm that short of a barrel which can make some people start flinching. I also don't think a custom levang style brake would be that hard to make either.

Shirley's Biography
Cause of Choice: Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America (LEDA)
Proudest Accomplishment: "Raising my children well."
World-class Teacher: After college, she spent two years teaching high school in a small village in Sierra Leone, Africa.
Greatest Influences Never Met: Matt Messelson and Frank Stahl, authors of "one of the greatest papers of the 20th century on how DNA replicates." Reading that paper in college set Tilghman on her path to becoming a geneticist.
In 2001, Shirley Tilghman became the first woman president of Princeton University, and only the second female president in the Ivy League. Her appointment capped her prodigious career as a celebrated teacher, world-renowned scholar, and pioneer in molecular biology.
Tilghman's decades of research in genetics focused on the regulation of genes during development, particularly in the field of genomic imprinting. During her postdoctoral studies at the National Institutes of Health, she made a number of groundbreaking discoveries while participating in cloning the first mammalian gene. She continued to make scientific breakthroughs as an independent investigator at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia, and as an adjunct associate professor of Human Genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. She served as a member of the committee that set the blueprint for the U.S. effort in the Human Genome Project and of the National Advisory Council that oversaw the initiative at the National Institutes of Health.
She was recruited to Princeton's faculty in 1986, and in 1998, founded its world-class genetics institute, the multi-disciplinary Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics. From 1993 through 2000, Tilghman chaired Princeton's Council on Science and Technology, which encourages the teaching of science and technology to students outside the sciences and she initiated the Princeton Postdoctoral Teaching Fellowship. In 1996, she received Princeton's President's Award for Distinguished Teaching.
Throughout her career, Tilghman has been an impassioned advocate and activist for the promotion of women in science, and efforts to make the early careers of young scientists as meaningful and productive as possible. In 2002, Tilghman was one of five winners of the L'Oréal-UNESCO Award for Women in Science. The following year, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for Developmental Biology, and in 2007, she was awarded the Genetics Society of America Medal for outstanding contributions to her field. She is a member of the American Philosophical Society, the National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine and the Royal Society of London. She serves as a trustee of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, and as a director of Google Inc.

Detailed Description:
- Mast cells are responsible for most symptoms of allergic reactions. In some allergic diseases, it is unusually easy to cause mast cells to release their contents and cause allergic reactions. In other cases, mast cells grow abnormally and, in rare cases, can result in tumors. Mast cells also control other parts of the immune system.
- Understanding why mast cells behave abnormally in allergic diseases is important to finding better ways for diagnosing and treating these potentially life-threatening disorders.
- To screen mast cells at the genetic and functional levels to characterize abnormalities, identify mutations, detect carrier states, and/or develop therapies for such disorders.
- To create a library of information about inherited diseases of mast cell homeostasis and activation, including piebaldism (problems with skin and hair pigmentation), anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction), allergies, asthma, atopic dermatitis (eczema), allergic rhinitis ( hay fever ), food allergies, urticaria/angioedema (hives/swelling), immunodeficiency diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
- Patients between the ages of 1 and 80 years who have been referred by a physician and are known to have or be suspected of having an inherited disorder of mast cells, in particular patients (and their relatives) with piebaldism, allergies, or anaphylaxis that is not caused by allergies.
- Study population will consist of up to 1000 participants in a 5-year period. One third of the study population will consist of patients; the other two thirds will consist of biological relatives.
- Evaluation is limited to testing on blood specimens; no treatment will be provided.
- Clinical and research laboratory evaluations of patients will include the following:
- Clinical evaluation and previous laboratory tests as documented in outside medical records by health care providers. A standard questionnaire will also be administered at the time of subject enrollment.
- Blood collection for clinical laboratory testing, tailored to each subject s clinical evaluation where appropriate (5 ml).
- Blood collection for research laboratory testing, tailored to each subject s clinical evaluation including genetic screening and assessment of mast cell growth and functioning and storage of additional frozen blood specimens for future studies (up to an additional 30 ml).
- Evaluations of blood relatives will include the following:
- Clinical evaluation as documented from outside medical records by health care providers and administration of a standard questionnaire.
- Blood collection where indicated for diagnostic or research purposes.
- After 12 consecutive months on the study, results from initial evaluation will be reviewed. Subjects with findings deemed to be of continued interest will be contacted and invited to remain as active participants to this protocol for another year, provided that they renew their consent to participate.

|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|February 24, 2009
This protocol is designed to screen subjects (and some family members) with suspected or identified genetic diseases of allergic inflammation or mast cell homeostasis and activation. Patients determined by clinical history and initial outside evaluation by their referring physician to be of interest will be consented and enrolled into this study. Blood specimens stored blood products and derivatives, saliva, hair, finger nail clippings, cord blood, umbilical cord, and/or buccal swabs from such patients and/or their family members will be obtained for research studies related to understanding the genetic and biochemical bases of these diseases. Outside medical records may be obtained for chart review to correlate clinical history to research laboratory testing results. Results will be relayed to the referring physicians and, where applicable, patients will be referred to other appropriate National Institutes of Health protocols for additional clinical evaluation and treatment. The study will enroll up to 1000 subjects and family members.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|1 Year to 80 Years (Child, Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Subjects, ages birth to 999 years old, known to have or suspected of having an inherited disorder of allergic inflammation or mast cell homeostasis or activation, will be eligible for enrollment. Because of the intensive time and labor required for research laboratory testing, subjects will be enrolled only if in the opinion of the investigator (based on discussions with the patient s private physician) there is a high index of suspicion of a genetic disease of allergic inflammation. Blood relatives of enrolled subjects will be eligible for enrollment. There will be no discrimination as to age, gender, race, or disability.
- Subjects must have a health care provider outside of the NIH.
- Subjects/guardians must be willing and able to give informed consent.
- Subjects must agree to have their blood stored for future studies of the immune system and/or other medical conditions.
- Women will be included in the study, including those who are lactating or may be pregnant.
- Children will be included in the study.
- The presence of an acquired abnormality of the immune system, such as cytotoxic chemotherapy or malignancy, may be grounds for possible exclusion if, in the opinion of the investigator, the presence of such a disease process would interfere with evaluation.
- Subjects with a history of HIV or evidence of chronic Hepatitis B and/or C infection will be excluded.

Re: st: different stcox output when used in a program

Thanks Maarten! When I run the example exactly as defined, the coefficient is still returned. Is there some global option I need to define for Stata?
--- Michael McCulloch <email@example.com> wrote:
Using the same simple stcox command, Stata 9.2 outputs the hazard
ratio when I issue the command, but the coefficient when I use it
within a program. I'd like to learn how to obtain the hazard ratio
within my simple program.
. bootstrap, reps(1000): msmcox_stageII
The reason is not that you call -stcox- from within a program, but that
you use -bootstrap- on that program. -bootstrap- does not bootstrap the
coefficients that are displayed, but the coefficients that are returned
by -stcox-, and -stcox- returns the coefficients and not the hazard
ratio. The hazard ratio is exp(coefficient), so if you want to
bootstrap the hazard ratio you do:
*---------------- begin example -------------
sysuse cancer, clear
stset studytim, failure(died)
xi: stcox i.drug age
capture program drop test
program define test, rclass
xi: stcox i.drug age
indeplist, local
foreach var of varlist `X' {
return scalar `var' = exp(_b[`var'])
bootstrap age=r(age) _Idrug_2=r(_Idrug_2) /*
*/ _Idrug_3=r(_Idrug_3), reps(100): test
*--------------- end example -----------------------

Arts Courses Enhance Many Career Choices
As part of the series to share noteworthy programs from each of the 16 career clusters, this sixth article focuses on the Arts, A/V Technology, and Communication Career Cluster. Previous issues covered agriculture, STEM, transportation, education, and architecture.
South Carolina's "Creating a Career with the Arts in Mind" is a new Instructional Television (ITV) series designed to provide in-depth information on careers in the Arts, A/V Technology and Communication Career Cluster. Arts leaders from the South Carolina Department of Education conduct interviews with eight South Carolina artists from 16 of the career clusters about their careers related to the arts. This series also contains segments in which working artists discuss how they actively pursue their art careers. These streamed videos can be used by guidance personnel, educators, curriculum directors, parent groups, and students.
This series may be found on South Carolina's Career Aisle. The site contains career videos, career links, college preparatory courses for targeted jobs and wage expectations for jobs.
Adults Are Critical to Regaining U.S. Leadership in Number of College Degree Holders
The State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) recently released data to show that transitioning adults from high school completion or some college courses to postsecondary degree completion is critical to the U.S. reclaiming its lead among industrialized countries in college degrees earned. Under SHEEO scenarios, about 70 percent of the 14.5 million degrees generated beyond population growth would come from improving the education of adults already in the workforce but who are without a postsecondary credential. The goal of 55 percent U.S. degree attainment to match that of the leading nations cannot be accomplished solely by increasing the degree attainment of traditional-age students. SHEEO provides a state-by-state table showing the number and percentage of degrees both traditional-age students and improvement in the education attainment of adult learners would generate in each of the 50 states.


text: So the league's dream matchup is finally here. Pretty irritating, but that's what everyone supposedly wanted to see, so let's see if this vaunted "casual fan" interest actually shows up or not. Celtics were impressive down the stretch of Game 6 in the Palace, but I think the Lakers' youth and depth will be way too much for them. I think it might be L.A. in 5, with the screwy 2-3-2 Finals format. Lakers have yet to lose at home in the playoffs.

Example: Multiple Measures/Approaches
A State uses multiple-choice items, two open-ended tasks, and a student portfolio to measure its content standards in mathematics at Grade 7.
Multiple-choice test
The multiple choice test consists of 60 items assessing five content standards: algebra, probability and statistics, geometry, measurement, and number concepts. The items are "enhanced" multiple-choice, requiring students to apply concepts in order to choose the correct answer. The test is administered under standardized on-demand conditions.
Open-ended tasks
Each of the two tasks requires students to apply concepts from one or more of the content standards assessed by the multiple-choice test. Responses on each task are scored for three content standards: communication, problem solving, and reasoning. The tasks are administered under standardized on-demand conditions, in conjunction with the multiple-choice test.
Each seventh-grade student produces a portfolio containing six pieces of work generated in the course of daily classroom activities, demonstrating his/her achievement of the States content standards. Consistency in portfolio contents is maintained through the use of information provided to teachers, including--
All teachers are trained in the portfolio scoring process.
The State scores the multiple-choice test. Teachers from across the State attend a scoring session to score the open-ended tasks and a sample of student portfolios from each school. At the classroom level, each teacher scores all of his/her students portfolios. These scores are sent to the State for inclusion on student score reports. Individual student results from the sample of portfolios scored at the State level are returned to the schools. Schools and the State review the state- and school-generated scores to assist in documenting and maintaining scoring consistency.

I never was any good at chemistry. My dad has a Ph.D. in Chemistry, so I always told my friends and teachers that I felt fluency in a subject matter must always skip a generation. And in my case, it didn't just skip… it leaped and then did a somersault backflip. I just didn't get it. Atomic numbers, electron dot models, balancing equations… argh. I really did try. Honest. My college buddies will confirm that when I got my B in Chemistry I (with a generous cutting of slack by the professor), they actually heard my whoops of joy ring out on the campus. And I don't even remember Chemistry II… I believe that my brain has blocked that entire experience. I don't remember my grade, who taught the class, what we learned, or how I even passed.
This difficulty with chemistry has followed me my entire life. My dad left retirement (as a Senior Chemist) and went back to the workforce when asked by a local junior college if he'd like to teach part-time. I've received a number of college-level chemistry textbooks over the last few years from him as he attempted to find a way to reach out to his chemistry-challenged son. I even cracked a couple and tried to go over them again. A fog of war descended once again, and I'd finish a chapter wondering what I'd just read.

text: Female gun ownership has surged over the past five years, and it's easy to understand why. Women who own guns consistently list the self confidence and the sense of protection that having a firearm gives them, and the way it makes them feel in general: that rush of adrenaline, that inner strength, and perhaps even a little glamor. But nobody becomes a gun person overnight. There are many building blocks that go into making someone a gun enthusiast. For me, it was a combination of empowerment and education on the fronts of both feminism and firearms that eventually led to my passion for the Second Amendment.

Toad The Wet Sprocket
The somber Pale, produced by Marvin Etzioni, followed in 1990. After years of persistent touring, Toad the Wet Sprocket's commercial breakthrough followed with 1991's Fear, as the single "All I Want" -- quite nearly left off the album -- became a Top 20 hit. Another single from the LP, "Walk on the Ocean," fared similarly well, and the combination pushed Fear to platinum sales. Three years later, Toad returned with Dulcinea, which generated a third Top 40 hit with the single "Fall Down." While "Fall Down" seemingly catered to the grunge generation with its minor-key riffs and anxious vocals, the bulk of Dulcinea emphasized Toad the Wet Sprocket's acoustic craft, and the band scored another hit with the mellow "Something's Always Wrong."
In Light Syrup, a collection of unreleased material, appeared in 1995. Although it contained the hit song "Good Intentions," the album didn't sell nearly as well as its predecessors, possibly due to the inclusion of "Good Intentions" on the popular Friends soundtrack. Coil, Toad the Wet Sprocket's fifth proper LP, followed in 1997 and suffered a similar fate, yielding one single ("Come Down") but failing to command the attention of Toad's earlier work. Faced with a dwindling stream of hits, the group ultimately split in July 1998, with the compilation album P.S.: A Toad Retrospective surfacing in 1999.
Glen Phillips launched a solo career several years after the band's breakup. He remained the most visible member of the group, collaborating with Nickel Creek and issuing a string of solo releases during the early 2000s. Toad the Wet Sprocket reconvened for several tours during the decade's latter half, with Phillips often serving as the band's own opening act. It wouldn't be until 2009 that the band went from summer tours and occasional one-off gigs to something the members no longer considered to be broken up. In 2010, officially reunited, Toad's members gathered to re-record new versions of older hits for use in film and television, not owning the rights or making much money from the famous recorded versions of older material. Shortly after that, work was begun on brand-new material, resulting in 2013's New Constellation, the band's first new studio album in over 16 years. The album was funded primarily by fans through an online campaign. ~ Jason Ankeny & Andrew Leahey

Thanks for the link, 4th! I'm glad to see not everyone is caught up in the moronic craze.
I for one refuse to buy magazines right now. I simply won't get caught up in the wave. I submit that if I didn't have it by now, I don't need it
However if they aren't gouging I think I would buy from them simply to show support! I'm keeping a list of gougers that won't get any more of my money. Ever.

What's the nexus between The Diary of Anne Frank and Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking? Both were scooped out of the literary rejection piles by famed Knopf editor Judith Jones
and made into worldwide classics. Today, the 85-year-old Jones is
working alongside a culinary figure of already-epic proportions --
she's edited and mentored Italian cooking legend Lidia Bastianich throughout the publication of her new cookbook, Lidia Cooks From the Heart of Italy,
a collection of unusual recipes from lesser-known regions of Italy.
With food serving as a lifelong muse, Jones has also penned her own
works, including this year's The Pleasures of Cooking for One.Last
month, Jones and Bastianich joined forces at the Brattle Theatre,
giving a talk-show style discussion of their relationship with one
another, their latest books, and, of course, the way they like their
food. As the icy wrath of winter drives you in search of gut-warming
food and New Year's resolutions perhaps inspire new dieting efforts,
take into consideration this sage advice from Bastianich and Jones.Cooking alone can curb loneliness:
As a foodie and a widow, Jones has had a fair amount of experience
adjusting to the process of cooking for just one person, and she's
trying to help other singles do the same. "They [singles] don't
understand that it's a way of treating yourself well, sort of relaxing
at the end of the day," she said. "It is that pleasure of filling the
house with good smells ... you feel less alone. To me, it's the best
part of the day." Cooking for just yourself is healthy, eco-friendly, and economical:
Both Bastianich and Jones emphasize the importance of using leftovers.
"When I talk about cooking for one, I always talk about the leftovers,
the reusing ... which is part of the Italian tradition," Bastianich
said. Jones went on to cite the green-ness of our current culinary
consciousness, explaining that "if you cook for yourself, you're in
control of what you're eating. I think that's a very important factor.
And you spend less money, and you enjoy it." Food is not a villain:
Bastianich and Jones, particularly in their latest publications,
celebrate heartier natural foods served in manageable portions --
notions that run counter to certain American attitudes toward food.
"All of this bad news about food, it gets exaggerated out of
proportion, and then you wait for the next decade and butter is okay
[again]," Jones said. "If we could just push all of that away and make
food that we really like."

|Simplicity is what makes up a Cajun Shrimp Stew - a simple light roux, onion, sweet bell pepper and a few seasonings is all there is to it!
Cajun Shrimp StewCajun food kinda reminds me sometimes of Mexican food. No, I haven't lost my mind. What I mean is a reference to how the same basic ingredients are often used and simply the application or process within the recipe and presentation differ. To me Shrimp Stew is like that.
What exactly sets it apart from gumbo? Well, in truth, although "rules" have relaxed on how to make it, gumbo should typically include okra, or at least gumbo filé - the ground leaf of the sassafras tree - both used, along with a roux, as thickeners. Gumbo uses a deep, rich roux, but as roux cooks, it loses it's thickening power, and that's where okra or gumbo filé comes in. I personally have been known to use both myself!
While shrimp stew is similar to gumbo, it's also different. My shrimp stew doesn't use okra, or gumbo filé, and has a faster cooking, and thus lighter colored and far thicker roux. Sort of like a seafood version of what we know as a beef stew, and that's certainly not gumbo!
Like gumbo, some shrimp stew recipes have some form of tomato in them - whole, diced or even just a bit of paste. All of my seafood gumbo recipes contain a bit of tomato, but for the stew I don't use them. I know some folks would disagree with me on both sides of that, and I ain't sayin' I'm right or wrong y'all, never would I say that, so include tomatoes if you like. In fact, add in whatever you like to make it your own.
Whatever you call it, it's pretty much the same process as gumbo to be honest. It starts with a roux, veggies are added in, and shrimp stock, easily made with the heads and shells of the raw shrimp. If you are using already peeled, frozen shrimp, simply substitute a commercial seafood, chicken or vegetable stock/broth, or just plain water. Simmered for a bit before adding in the raw shrimp - for this stew I use small shrimp - then finished with a bit of parsley and sliced green onion, this makes an easy and mighty fine supper with a little less time commitment than a full blown gumbo. Hope you enjoy giving it a try!
Recipe: Cajun Shrimp Stew©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 50 min | Yield: About 4 servings
- 2 pounds of small raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3/4 cup of canola or vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup of all purpose flour
- 1 cup of chopped onion
- 1/4 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- 4 cups of shrimp stock or water, warmed
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 4 turns of freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (likeSlap Ya Mama), or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay, optional
- Pinch of thyme
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, reserve some for garnish
- 1/4 cup of sliced green onion, reserve some for garnish
- Hot cooked rice
Peel and devein shrimp, pat dry, press a paper towel down on top of them and refrigerate. Heat oil over medium high heat in a stockpot or cast iron Dutch oven, stir in the flour and cook and stir until the color of peanut butter, about 10 minutes. Add the onion and pepper; cook and stir until softened. Slowly stir in the stock or water, a little at a time, bring mixture up to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Add the salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, Old Bay, thyme and shrimp; simmer for another 10 minutes or until shrimp is cooked through. Stir in the parsley and green onion; taste and adjust seasonings. Garnish with additional parsley and green onion if desired, serve over hot cooked rice, with hot buttered French bread and a side salad.
Cook's Note: Makes about 4 servings. Use a medium shrimp and double the base to increase serving size. May also substitute commercial seafood, chicken or vegetable stock or broth.

Chicago is a fantastic theater town. There are many big theaters, but there are great small theaters performing in church basements and storefronts. This is where real Chicago theater lives- in the performances where you could reach out and touch the actors. There are over 200 theaters producing great innovative work for almost every taste. Most of them are listed at the League of Chicago Theatres.
Here is my basic quick guide to Chicago theaters and tips for seeing theater on the cheap.
Reviews appear in the Sun Times, Tribune, Chicago Reader and TimeOut Chicago. Timeout even has their "17 theatre shows to see this fall" article for some quick recommendations.

Reviews of this property
Very nice reception by Sandra Tranta that took a lot of time. Got a lot of matching and important information orally and as a very comprehensive material (books, wallet with cards and tips, even voice help list). Stylish, very clean, well equipped and not cluttered, everything important in kitchen available and a lot more (tea, coffee, milk, two types of oil!). Also the bed (comfortable sofa bed) in the living room was very comfortable. Nice area, great house. Highly Recommended! We felt very comfortable.
Sehr netter Empfang durch Sandra Tranta, die sich viel Zeit nahm. Bekamen viele passende und wichtige Informationen mündlich und als sehr umfassendes Material (Bücher, Mappe mit Karten und Tipps, sogar Sprachhilfezettel). Stilvoll, sehr sauber, super ausgestattet und nicht überladen, alles Wichtige in Küche vorhanden und noch viel mehr (Teesorten, Kaffee, Milch, zwei Ölsorten!). Auch das Bett (komfortable Ausziehcouch) im Wohnzimmer war sehr bequem. Netter Stadtteil, tolles Haus. Absolut empfehlenswert! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
If you are going to visit Prague, choose Art Deco inspired Apartment!
But let's start from the owner of the apartment first. Sandra is really nice, helpful and kind person. Before we came to Prague she made sure we had all information how to get to the apartment, giving as tips about the public transport lines and advices about getting good tickets etc.
Once we got to apartment Sandra, without needing, offered us sightseeing tips and gave us maps and lots of other information. Sandra did us a favour and helped with making a surprise :) It just shows how generous and selfless person she is.
What is more - Sandra's english is brilliant :)
Apart from that the apartment is simply beautiful. Very elegant and decorated with really good taste. You have literally everything that you need there to spend a good time. It feels like home :)
We sincerely recommend this apartment and we thank to Sandra for the possibility of staying there. It was a pleasure to meet you Sandra!
Beautiful apartment, centrally located, walking 30 minutes to the center, 10 minutes flat and described by tram, very nice and extremely helpful landlady, always happy.
Schöne Wohnung, zentral gelegen, zu Fuß 30 Minuten bis Zentrum, mit der Tram 10 Minuten, Wohnung wie beschrieben, sehr nette und äußerst hilfsbereite Vermieterin, immer wieder gerne.
Everything was great, nice contact, gladly again!
Alles super, netter Kontakt, gerne wieder!
We had a great time. Sandra is very welcoming. The apartment is very nice,
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Sandra est très accueillante. L'appartement est très agréable,
We stayed for a short stay three days the first time in Prague. The apartment is very well suited for extended stays in Prague. To reach the center, the train right outside the door or walk the old town can also be reached quickly. We felt in Sandra's apartment very well. The apartment is very spacious, clean and everything is available. Sandra gave us a very warm welcome and took the time to explain everything to us and to give tips for Prague. Would definitely come again, have felt very comfortable.
Thanks for the nice stay!
Wir waren für einen Kurztrip 3 Tage das erste mal in Prag. Die Wohnung ist aber auch für längere Aufenthalte in Prag sehr gut geeignet. Um das Zentrum zu erreichen ist die Bahn direkt vor der Tür oder zu Fuß ist die Altstadt auch schnell zu erreichen. Haben uns in Sandras Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung ist sehr geräumig, sauber und es ist alles vorhanden. Sandra hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen und sich zeit genommen uns alles zu erklären und Tipps für Prag mit zu geben. Würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen, haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.
Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt!
It was a very good stay at Sandra's place. She was helpfull with finding a parking place in the neigbourhood and to find our way in the city. I didn't dare to leave my car in the city but she was right. It is safe to park in the neigbourhood of her place. The appartement is in a good area of Prague, nearby shops and public transport. And it is comfortable place to stay. Thanks for all.
We spent 6 days in Prague in Sandra's apartment and we were very pleased with our stay. The apartment was perfect to our needs, everything was nice an clean and we were very happy with it. You can take the tram to the Center of Prague a few steps from the door on the opposite site of the street. With the tram it was only 10 minutes to the center. If you like to walk, you can go to the river, and walk along the river - a very nice way to experience the riverside from bridge to bridge - right to the center of town.
Sandra herself introduced us to the apartment at the arrival, and we found here to be a very helpful, nice and trustworthy person.
If I get the chance to go Prague again I would definitely ask for Sandras apartment again and we can highly recommend it for others.
Apartment lovely, large, clean, connected to transport, in a good area. Highly recommended. Sandra, the host is a charm. Thank You
Apartamento encantador, grande, limpio, comunicado con transporte, en muy buena zona. Muy aconsejable. Sandra, la anfitriona es un encanto. Gracias
The apartment was very nice and well kept. We really felt comfortable and had a wonderful time in Prague.
Thank you for the wonderful stay!
Das Apartment war ausgesprochen schön und sehr gepflegt. Wir haben uns wirklich wohl gefühlt und hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in Prag.
Vielen Dank für den wundervollen Aufenthalt!

heh heh hehGive them mercy..
I was using burlap but the price went up a good bit, using pine straw now and notice less tar build up. Emil's smoker always smells nice, he uses old jeans. Schawee uses grass clippings, lasts quite a while and smells kinda nasty to me though. :)Since you mentioned herb or rather herbs...Two years ago, I removed a hive from a garage wall interior and the home owner's repair guy busted out some whacky tobaccy. I asked him to blow some of that stuff all up in the hive and we waited to see if the bees had any brownie requests but never really noticed any difference whatsoever, just since you asked! :-D...JPNo difference to the bees that is :) Just curious .... how long did y'all try for?
Tried coconut husks as smoker fuel this weekend, they light quickly but just don't last very long. I'm going to keep them as smoker fuel to light up other stuff like small branches or wood shavings. I was using grapefruit leaves as a fuel, read somewhere that it would knock the mites off the girls. Instead it really got them worked up, the hives stayed aggressive for about two days after using the dried grapefruit leaves in the smoker. Even the residue left in the smoker would work the girls up when smoked. Ended up cleaning out the tar with a torch just to calm the yard down. Couldn't see any change with the mite load but it was only one application.

Hello all,
What I'd like to know is what all has changed with beekeeping in the last 15 years. I've basically had a 15 year layoff where I turned my back on my bees almost 100%. I somehow did manage to keep 2-5 colonies alive during this span of time.
When I was a beekeeper of proper means I checked my bees at least monthly or more depending on the time of year. I'd treat once yearly with apistan strips and menthol which was all that I ever needed. Here where I live with decent rain fall a good honey crop was all but guaranteed.
Now that I've decided to restart my beekeeping activities I'm curious to know what's changed with medicine, medication practices, and any different updated management programs. It would seem the biggest challenge to evolve would be SHB, as far as I've read that is.
Are there new strains of bees that are more tolerant to all the pests that afflict honeybees? If so what are these bees and where can they be purchased?
I welcome everyone's opinions as I'd expect there to be a wide range of ideas with a set of questions like this
Thanks in advance,

Last night I did a full inspection on both TBH's. Both of these are first year hives using packages. I walked away pleased with both of them. The first hive has 10 bars of brood/eggs and 7 full bars of honey. It also has about a 2 inch band of honey on the top of each brood bar. The second hive has 8 bars of brood/eggs with about 7-8 bars of honey and again the 2 inch band at the top of the brood bars. I would really like to NOT feed them if I don't have to but I will to keep them from starving if needed.
That sets up my questions.
What are your thought regarding the food stores of these hives? Is there enough honey to get through the winter? Also, the brood area is FULL. There are very few empty cells. Should I add an empty bar?

Email Allen and ask him when he was there last, how many hives he thinks she has now, and what he bases that number upon. Figure it out.
Well, I'll cut Mike some slack cause he's my buddy, and I understand that that far North the air gets pretty thin...(sorry Ian ).Errr, speaking of 'honest mistakes'.
Michael Palmer January 18, 2013
Well that's not true. I know Dean, and have talked with him about his
filming incident. Dean told me that there were so many stingers in his
[I]sneakers that you couldn't tell what color they were.
That's almost, sorta, kinda true...but certainly not an honest presentation of the facts.
I was dressed in an inspectors jacket (a wedding present from Dee...remember, this was a working wedding honeymoon...we got Dee an online ordination and she married us in the desert....was there something in this thread about a "normal lifestyle"?), white painters pants from walmart, and some brown woven nylon hiking boots.
Let's just say, the boots didn't go over too well with the bees. I still have one of the boots...I'll try to photograph it.
The bees were crazy for the camera (someone suggested the bees might think I was stealing their souls) and the boots.
They would cling to the inside of the ladies legs (there are a few crotch smoking shots in the videos...remember, these were unedited and unprepared...we were just going through yards and after a few days, I felt like I could try to narrate what was going on). Also, if you are going to watch these, please not that smoke is hardly used, except on us.
Once we started to tear through a yard, we would have bees in the air and around our veils...no clinging. I won't say I didn't get a few stings in a day, but it was louder than anything else.
So, after the first two days, I showed Dee my boots, and she dug into a closet and pulled out a pair of white leather sneakers....from a backpack she found, dropped by an illegal being chased by border patrol...in my size. Problem solved, no more ankle biting.
Every time I go back, my shoes are there....but I wear a different pair (also found in a backpack)...why? I stopped getting stung, but I got an itchy foot fungus! (I know, TMI, but it is what happened).
So, that is the story of the shoes....and they were covered. If you look at the pictures from our recent trip, you will see that they are still crazy for the camera, as Anita was there, so I could photograph a photographer.
Mike, we would love to have you back down south where the air is thicker, and you can recharge your braincells at the NETFBC. Do tell them how we fed you, treated you, and got you in front of a young, receptive and enthusiastic audience who were eager to LISTEN (well, Dee didn't like seeing that sugar in the hive..).
But it's ok you didn't tell them about the foot fungus, I don't think I told you that part

2005 SRX Timing Chain
Well the inevitable is finally here. After 6 years of changing the oil every 3 - 4k miles with Mobile 1 our 2005 SRX 3.6 V6 finally needs new timing chains at 59,500 miles. Its been like a time bomb ever since I started reading about the defective timing chains 3 or so years ago on this site. Now that Im out of warranty the repair is going be around $2,000.
Personally I believe this Cadillac is the BEST Cadillac ever produced and extremely fun to drive, with the exception of the faulty timing chains, creaking glass panel and those damn front turn signal bulbs. I have been, as well as my family, loyal GM (mostly Cadillac) customers since the early 70s. We even remained loyal throughout the mid 80s with the 4.1 liter fiasco. In addition, Ive persuaded 3 friends over the last 18 months to give GM another chance and they ended up buying new Cadillacs.
Bottom line, Ive been around long enough to know that timing chains do not go bad under 100,000 miles on an engine that is well maintained. I feel that GM should provide us with some relief/assistance with the repair since the defect is a well recognized throughout industry. Providing assistance here would go a long way with us and most important convince my wife that we should give GM another chance with a new CTS.
Re: 2005 SRX Timing Chain

This is all very interesting. My check engine lite just came on, had the code read, and it may be the timing chain going bad. Code was P0008, Engine System Performance Bank 1. Car has 59,500 miles. Running fine for the moment. Taking in to dealer today. Not very happy about this.
Re: 2005 SRX Timing Chain
Very sorry to hear that, Vipergt7! If you'd like any assistance following up with your dealership (or setting up an official case, as Sarah explained above), please don't hesitate to email me anytime at email@example.com.

Re: 2005 SRX Timing Chain
Katie, I'm still waiting for you to provide me with assistance! Please let me know if there is anything GM can do for a loyal GM customer.
Re: 2005 SRX Timing Chain
Steve, I am sorry to hear you're still waiting for assistance! Have you had the opportunity to email me as of yet? I ask because my records show that I have responded to all of my incoming emails at this time; so if you have emailed me since Wednesday I have not received it, then I greatly apologize for the confusion. (I double checked to make sure I provided the correct email address above, and it is indeed correct.) I'm definitely willing to explore your next steps with you!

Re: 2005 SRX Timing Chain
Yes. I've replied to you e-mail box. We actually had a few e-mails back in forth. The last I heard was that you would get back to me in a few days. I forward to you your last e-mail to me. Thanks
Note: I had the chains replaced about a month ago. I thought your no response was no assistance.
Re: 2005 SRX Timing Chain
I will be sure to check my email for your updates, zapiecsw! I apologize for not getting back to you sooner and will be sure to check my SPAM filter to make sure nothing was stuck there.

Re: 2005 SRX Timing Chain
Still waiting
Re: 2005 SRX Timing Chain
Still waiting. While I have been waiting I had chains replaced. When I questioned the dealership service rep about the industry wide 3.6 liter timing chain problem he denied ever knowing anything about it and simply referred me to the owners manual for a number to call if I had a complaint. He said "why do you think that gm would provide assistance on a 7 year old car out of warranty". A few weeks later I spoke to another service rep (the one I normally work with) and he admitted to the known problem and frankly said that if I had dealt with him he would have had it covered. Since the work was already done and gm coming down hard on the dealership recently for covering 2004 & 2005 models he would not be able to get assistance. He did try through.
It's not so much the 2200 bill for the new chains its being treated like a second rate customer for keeping the car 7 years. We purchased a new Infiniti (first non gm car ever) a few weeks ago and like it, however it's not a Cadillac. Still have the srx for now until I decide what to replace it with. Car still looks and drives like new and would keep it another year but my fear is that the chains will stretch again and I'll be faced with another large and unnecessary expense.

Re: 2005 SRX Timing Chain
I own a 2005 Cadillac SRX which has been a WONDERFUL car and my first Cadillac ever! My car now has just under 62,000 miles and is 8 years old. I have 1 major complaint about the need for a timing chain on this car. While a friend made mention of how "noisy" the engine had become, I frankly did not hear it running from inside the car with the windows up and music playing. Finally, when I did have need to take the car to the dealer, I was informed that the timing chain repair would be about $2,500 to $3,000 dollars. I've owned many cars in my life and always buy them new. In my 50 years of buying cars, I have NEVER had to have a timing chain replaced! My car is serviced regularly and I use only Mobil 1 oil so I don't understand why Cadillac has not told everyone that they have extended their warranty to cover the replacement of timing chains on engines that are requiring it? I mean, with such low miles......I think my visit to the dealership was when the car was about 6 years old and has just under 50,000 miles! Will Cadillac do anything for me? I previously had a Mercedes before buying my first Cadillac. No timing chain problems with my Mercedes or any other vehicles like that over my lifetime! I should have contacted Cadillac earlier but with the company going through bankruptcy, I thought it was out of the question to think they might actually "step-up" and do the right thing. After Obama got done stripping the company of any shareholder equity, I thought you had to be a UAW member to get any decent treatment. Am I asking for too much or how can I be convinced to continue to be a Cadillac customer? Thanks.
Re: 2005 SRX Timing Chain
Judging by the plethora of similar complaints and the lack of response by Cadillac management I would say you are SOL.Don't mess with Binky Bear!

Quotes of the day
posted at 10:34 pm on April 16, 2012 by Allahpundit
"Mitt Romney went well beyond his standard stump speech at a closed-door fundraiser on Sunday evening, and offered some of the most specific details to date about the policies he would pursue if elected…
"'I'm going to take a lot of departments in Washington, and agencies, and combine them. Some eliminate, but I'm probably not going to lay out just exactly which ones are going to go,' Romney said. 'Things like Housing and Urban Development, which my dad was head of, that might not be around later. But I'm not going to actually go through these one by one. What I can tell you is, we've got far too many bureaucrats. I will send a lot of what happens in Washington back to the states.'…
"Romney said the GOP must offer its own policies to woo Hispanics, including a 'Republican DREAM Act,' referring to the legislative proposal favored by Democrats that would offer illegal immigrants a limited path to citizenship, to give Hispanic voters a real choice between parties…
"He said his campaign had been well-covered by Fox News, but that Fox was watched by 'the true believers,' and that he knew he would have to reach out to a broader audience in order to win over independents and women voters that will decide the election in November. He painted a picture of a media landscape in which liberal voices won out on television, but conservatives were strongest online."
"[N]ow that the former Massachusetts governor is the likely GOP nominee, many Republicans think that the standoffish candidate actually needs to embrace his Mormonism publicly to open a window into his life…
"Nance maintains that if voters could see Romney worshiping, and observe him as a leader of his church, it could go a long way in helping people connect with him. 'His religion isn't the issue- he's the issue,' says Nance. 'At some point you need to be honest about who you are. He has an authenticity problem. People don't get him. They don't feel that they know the guy.'…
"Bruce Merrill, a senior research fellow at the Morrison Institute at Arizona State University who was raised a Mormon, believes that the key to Romney's success in the general election may lie in his being as specific and as open as possible about his faith. 'It's who Romney is and he can't really be himself without showing who he is,' says Merrill. 'It's more than a religion- it's a subculture, a way of life. Mormons socialize together, they do business together, and they raise families together. [Avoiding it publicly] just perpetuates the view that he's distant.'"
"As Congress was set to reconvene on Monday, House Republicans said Mr. Romney could go his own way on smaller issues that may help define him as separate from his Congressional Republican counterparts. But, they said, he must understand that they are driving the policy agenda for the party now.
"'We're not a cheerleading squad,' said Representative Jeff Landry, an outspoken freshman from Louisiana. 'We're the conductor. We're supposed to drive the train.'…
"Still, party leaders insist that House Republicans and Mr. Romney are united on issues that matter most. 'On the big issues — spending, taxes, what we do with the deficit — I just don't see much difference,' said Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma, a member of the Republican leadership, 'and more importantly, I don't see an escape.'"
"But where Romney is different is that he is not honest about himself. He could, as he did just recently, stand before the National Rifle Association as if he were, in spirit as well as membership, one of them. In body language, in the blinking of the eyes, in the nonexistent pounding pulse, there was not the tiniest suggestion that here was a man who just as confidently once embodied the anti-gun ethic of Massachusetts, the distant land he once governed. Instead, he tore into Obama for the (nonexistent) threat the president posed to Second Amendment rights — a false accusation from a false champion.
"A marathon of debates and an eon of campaigning have toughened and honed Romney. He commands the heights of great assurance, and he knows, as some of us learn too late in life, that the truth is not always a moral obligation but sometimes merely what works. He often cites his business background as commending him for the presidency. That's his forgivable absurdity. Instead, what his career has given him is the businessman's concept of self — that what he does is not who he is. This is what enables the slumlord to be a charitable man. This is what enables the corporate raider to endow his university. Business is business. It's what you do. It is not who you are. Lying isn't a sin. It's a business plan."
"Seamus, Mitt Romney's Irish setter who traveled with his young family strapped to the roof of their station wagon, 'loved' those trips, despite once getting ill, Ann Romney told ABC's Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview…
"'The dog loved it,' Ann Romney said. 'He would see that crate and, you know, he would, like, go crazy because he was going with us on vacation. It was to me a kinder thing to bring him along than to leave him in the kennel for two weeks.'
"Adding to the left's narrative that Romney had little compassion for the animal is a detail from the 1983 trip that Ann Romney confirmed to Sawyer. The dog became sick, defecating all over itself and the windshield of the car, leading Romney to hose them both off before they continued on the drive to Canada."
