Learner recipes
First, an intro is in order.
A few weeks ago I decided to teach myself to cook. Now, I don't equate learning to cook with 'Oh, I've dropped my egg in this boiling water. Oh, it's poaching. Hooray'. Or 'Oh no, I need to pour this boiling water down the sink and the sink's blocked. I'll have to store it in this pan of pasta for now. Hey, the pasta is cooking!'
No, I mean learning at a more intermediate level. Experimenting with things from poaching eggs in cling film (successfully stolen from the net) to recipes I've not tried eating or cooking before.
Anyways, I started with one new recipe a week and am now working to two a week, with successful recipes being cooked up on a more regular basis. Here are the two recipes I think have been the most successful,
1. Chicken and roasted veg.
Preheat oven to gas mark 6
Place two breasts in a roasting dish.
Scrub (not peel) 3 large carrots and cut them into large, haphazard chunks
Take a butternut squash. If you want, you can remove the skin. I like it.
Cut the squash in half, remove the seeds and place them in a small bowl.
Cut up the squash into medium-small pieces and add to the roasting dish.
N.B You will probably only need to use a fifth of the squash per person.
Place 2 slices of bread into a blender and blend into breadcrumbs.
Mix the crumbs with the seeds and grate in some fresh ginger (how much is up to you)
Crush 2 cloves of garlic into the roasting dish.
Add a fair amount of salt and several cherry and plum tomatoes.
Drizzle a load of olive oil (extra virgin if you want to be fussy)
Place the dish into the centre of the oven and set the timer for 25 minutes.
Place a small frying pan or wok (woks are just cool) on the hob. Don't turn the gas on yet. Just leave it there
Go off and do whatever you like for 25 minutes.
When the timer goes off, pull the chicken from the oven, add more tomatoes and place back in.
Turn on the heat under the pan/wok and add some oil.
Pour the seed mixture into the pan and squeeze the joice of a large lemon into it. Fry until crisp and reduce the heat.
Remove the chicken from the oven. Check if it is cooked. If it is, turn off the oven and hob, serve the chicken and veg onto a plate and sprinkle the seed mix onto the side.
If it isn't cooked, give it 5 more minutes, sturring the seed mix intermittendly so it doesn't stick.
For this recipe I've left out the quantities, so you can add as much or little as you prefer.
I originally cooked up 4 pieces of stuffed pork. Two for me and two for my brother. With it I cooked up a dish of roast veg. Unfortunately my brother stayed at uni for a pub quiz. Next day I cooked up his share of the pork, but there were no roasted veg left. Now, I could have cooked some more, but his was done for early lunch. So, I caramalised half an apple (left over from the previous day's recipe).
Hence, this recipe is
Stuffed Pork with Roasted Veg and Caramalised Apples
N.B. Not apple sauce, not stewed apple, caramalised apple. Apple sauce is for roast pork.
Some string
The Loin
Pork loin
The Veg
Small butternut squash (I discovered these in December and I love them!)
Olive Oil
You can then add whatever veg you want, but I think these are essential to the recipe. If you've never tried Okra, it is like a cross between brown onion and celery, with a hint of aniseed. If you use it, don't use onions, leeks or shallots if you want to avoid an overpowering flavour
The Stuffing
*I used these dark brown apricots from the Farmer's Market. They were close in taste to dates, but sweeter. If you don't have them, use apricots or dates or a mixture as you prefer
**I used Pink Lady apples. But I think a variety would work better.
The Caramalised Apples
Caster/White sugar.
I used castor sugar because the house is bare on white sugar. It works well enough. Tastes good and I didn't go blind, at least.
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6
The Loin
Slice the pork horizontally down the centre so you end up with two 1/2thickness pieces of loin.
Bash the thing senseless with the flat end of a meat mallot to about 1/4 inch thickness. Put a sturdy board under the ruddy pork, or you can enjoy a kitchen with a K-nacked worktop.
The Stuffing
Eightth the apricots (that would be quarter them, then halve each piece.)
Core your apples.*
Mix with Breadcrumbs (Slice of bread in blender whizz to get breadcrumbs)
Mix in sultanas
*Obviously the more apples you use, the smaller you'll have to cut the pieces. I used half an apple per whole loin (quarter per piece) and cut into thin slices, which I halved centre to skin.
I.e. If this is a piece of apple ( then do it like this <-(---
The Veg
Cut up the veg how you want.* Not the garlic or tomatoes
Add half the tomatoes
Crush and add two cloves of garlic
Drizzle a decent amount of olive oil in (Extra Virgin. You just sound more like a chef if you insist on using Extra Virgin. Hell, I prefer Macadania nut, basil, garlic or chilli)
*Go for an average medium-small size, but don't be neat. Be haphazard. It doesn't look better. It doesn't taste better, but everyone out there does neat veg, so do it just to be different and stick it in their conventional chef hats.
Stuffing the loin
Place about 3 quarters of the stuffing at each end of the loin, and thinly scatter the rest across the middle.
Since you have two loins, you can either do the roll or the double roll. I did one of each. The single roll is sweeter, since the meat is thinner. The double roll has more of a meaty bite, since it is thicker in the middle.
To single roll, push one end of the loin up and over, so it wraps itself inside the loin, then roll to the other end. Make sure it's tight enough to hold the stuffing, but not too tight as to force any stuffing out.
Place on 2 pieces of string - Each piece about a quarter of the way from the edge of the loin
Wrap the string round and tie tight.
Note, if you haven't got a good pair of scissors don't do a ****'s knot that's impossible to undo!
Double roll.
As before, but roll to the middle of the loin, rather than all the way.
Roll the other end to the centre as well.
You should now have two rolls going into the centre of the loin, preferably tucked in (or the stuffing will spill out.
To tie, repeat the method used for the single roll. Assuming you tucked the pork in, you should get away with the single-roll method.
Salt the pork generously
Place the veg on the top shelf of the oven
Place the pork in the centre of the oven
Set timer for 30 minutes
When the timer goes off, turn the heat down to low (just enough to barely carry on cooking. This will keep it warm and ensure it isn't undercooked)
Start making the caramalised apples
The Apples
I used a saucepan. Be prepared to do some scrubbing.
Core and cut up the remaining apples
Drizzle some cold water to cover the bottom of a saucepan
Pour a fair amount of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon over the apples
Turn the heat on under the pan
Chuck in the apples.
Whack the heat up to full
Cover the pan
Blast for 5 minutes
Reduce heat to simmer
Remove cover
Stir intermittently to prevent sticking
The apples should be soft and the water should have reduced. You should also have a caramel sauce coating the apples
Pull the pork and veg from the oven.
Check they are cooked
Place pork on veg onto a plate
Spoon the apple over the pork
Serve and enjoy

Dress like a 2012 Met Gala Star!
Have you seen the floor-sweeping red-carpet dress photos of some of the world's most stylish celebrities at the 2012 Met Gala last week?! Our eyes were transfixed on many of our favorite leading ladies as they sashayed along the luxe carpet made worthy only for those within the high fashion elite society. And as we perused the many lovely long-legged dames in their Prada, Balenciaga, Calvin Klein, Vera Wang, Armani, Louis Vuitton, Erdem, etc, etc dresses, we couldn't help but feel a significant fashion connection to many of these looks. After scanning all the celebrity dresses from Anna Wintour's highly famed Met Gala, it was inevitable what was to come next. We instantaneously dipped into our Camille La Vie fashion closet and rounded up a few purely amazing dresses of our own that bear quite a resemblance to some of our red-carpet favorites. Check out our round-up of selected red-carpet looks and our fabulous Camille La Vie version for each. You'll definitely look like a high fashion star without breaking the bank.
1. Emily Blunt
Emily Blunt really pulls off this chic, minimal and incredibly alluring Calvin Dress dress, while keeping her hair and makeup sleek with a dose of simplicity. She really doesn't need much considering her genetically blessed traits and this cutout dress certainly amplifies all her divine assets! Snag Emily's look here with this equally gorgeous jersey cutout dress and luxe rhinestone beading. It's an ideal red-carpet style dress that will work for your many social occasions, including prom, cocktail parties and other fab-friendly events (SEE NEXT PHOTO).
2. Solange Knowles
Who can pass up this hot neon yellow number worn by the heavenly divine Solange Knowles? We're really feeling her style savvy choice designed by Rachel Roy for this event, especially considering our undying love for peplum dresses. This fierce look coupled with her jaw-dropping, envy-worthy hairstyle makes for an all-out head-to-toe winner! And our course, this feature wouldn't be complete without showcasing our AMAZING, spot-on version of Knowles' dress. Check out our Camille La Vie satin mermaid dress with peplum accents (SEE NEXT PHOTO).
3. Paula Patton
We can't stop admiring Paula Patton's beauty let alone her sweet-hued lilac strapless dress designed by Vera Wang. Her sleek and classic chignon is the perfect choice to showcase her beautiful facial features and totally love her dose of the dazzle factor with the rhinestone drop earrings. This color works undoubtedly well for the spring/summer season and luckily we have an equally sensational version at Camille La Vie. Check out this Camille La Vie chiffon beaded illusion dress that's quite reminiscent of Paula Patton's red-carpet dress (SEE NEXT PHOTO).
4. Dianna Agron
Dianna Agron looks like an ethereal goddess in this breathtaking red-carpet gown with plunging neckline designed by Caroline Herrera. We can't help but stare into her sultry eyes and retro-inspired locks befitting of a classic Old Hollywood starlet. But although her beauty may be one-of-a-kind, you can certainly score her dress style as Camille La Vie houses a beautiful red-carpet ready version made of luxurious chiffon and rhinestone in a plunging neckline that brings to mind all sorts of goddess-like thoughts.

Genre: Fantasy fiction
Number of pages: 496
What's the basic story line?
A man named Denver Kristoff writes a novel called The Book of Doom and Desire. The book is magical and has powers that could be destructive if misused. Denver puts a spell on it so she cannot get the book. When the daughter grows older, she sends three kids, Brendan, Cordelia, and Eleanor, who are siblings, to go find the book. The quest is extremely dangerous, and they are always in harm's way.
Are the characters believable?
The characters themselves are believable; however their actions are not, since this is a fantasy book.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), how would you rate this book?
I would give it a 9. It is a terrific mix of comedy, adventure, suspense, and a bit of romance. I think this book is best for kids ages 10 and older, because there are some violent parts. It is a great book from start to finish.

Wir haben eine schöne Zeit in LLavorina verbracht.
Hat nur etwas gedauert, bis wir das Objekt gefunden hatten,da die Wegbeschreibung bei uns erst vor Ort angekommen ist. Konnte aber zu jeder Zeit das Team des Vermieters telefonisch erreichen.
Das Haus bietet viel Platz, wir waren nur zu fünft.
Das einzige, was uns gestört hat, war der etwas muffelige Geruch. Wenn man die Abflüsse dann gespült hat, war der Geruch weg. Hatten aber auch die ganze Zeit keine Klimaanlage an, vielleicht hing es auch damit zusammen.
Wir (Eltern, 3 Kinder 13-7-3) verbrachten eine schöne Zeit in sehr gepflegtem und geschmackvoll modern eingerichtetem Landhaus. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Tages -oder Halbtagesausflüge zu nahe gelegenen Stränden (15 Autominuten), zum Zentrum von Sa Puebla (15 Minuten zu Fuss), oder auch nach La Palma (30 Autominuten), sowie Einkaufsmöglichkeiten direct in Sa Puebla.
Silvia und Juan waren tolle Gastgeber, offen, hilfreich und zuverlässig.
Sehr zu empfeheln für einen Urlaub abseits von jedem Trubel (keine direkten Nachbarn), und doch so zentral gelegen, das man in relative kurzer Zeit zu jedem Zipfel der Insel gelangt.
Its a fantastic Finca in the countryside of Mallorca but still very close to Santa Margalida. It has a beautiful, large and clean pool. The sourrounding yard is decorated with beautiful flowers. The house is decorated in an "old-fashion/classical" style and very cosy. The furniture in- and outside is very comfortable and solid - no plastic chairs or similar. The interior gives you everything you need: A huge fridge including 3 big ice buckets, a washing mashine, a barbeque on the terrace and a nice outside-couchplace. The kitchen provides any tool you´d need. Well, I could write a novel about the beauty of this place...
Last but not least we had very nice expirience with the daughter of the owner who visited us the second day in order to ask if everything is okay and to give some info about garbage and electronics.
To make a long story short: We had a fantastic stay and we will come back to this beautiful place a s soon as possible.

Puppet show to visit library July 16
Friends and neighbors!
It's the fifth year of our Minnesota Legacy Programs. We are so lucky to live in beautiful Minnesota. Bet the other states are jealous.
This next visit from our Legacy friends is for our children — I claim them as well, since they visit me often. It is a marvelous puppet show called Monkey Mind Pirates Yoga Party and is presented by Z Puppets Rosenschnaz.
There is a story line sure to catch the imagination of the children, filled with life lessons and real live yoga. This is not grownup yoga, but yoga specifically designed for children.
Since I am an adult, albeit an adult feline, I guess I won't be able to participate, but this will be fun to watch.
Don't miss this event. It will take place at our Pine River Public Library on Tuesday, July 16, at 2:30 p.m. See you there!
Forever your friend,

FORT NELSON TO RESOUND TO THE ROAR OF THE BIG GUNS - Monday, 4 February 2013
Experience the power and might of the big guns at Fort Nelson on February 10 and March 17 during two free gun-firing demonstrations, featuring artillery from Victorian times.
The 19th century Fort will ring to the sound of the mighty weapons as uniformed members of the Portsdown Artillery Volunteers conduct gun-firing and drill demonstrations throughout both Sundays.
Royal Armouries' Curator of Artillery Philip Magrath said, "Each demonstration will provide a fine example of the several different weapons that Fort Nelson and the Portsdown Hill Forts installed for garrison defence in the later Victorian period. Museum admission is free and it's a fascinating day out for all the family."
On Sunday, February 10, the uniformed detachment will fire a cast-iron, smooth-bore 32-pounder breech-loading gun, in the Fort's North Caponier, three times throughout the day. This gun is dated 1883 and was recently featured in the BBC2 documentary Great British Railway Journeys, when it was fired by former Conservative minister and TV presenter Michael Portillo at the Fort.
The Portsdown Artillery Volunteers will be in action again on Sunday, March 17 when they fire the Fort's 64-pounder. This gun is dated 1875 and is a British cast-iron, rifled muzzle-loading weapon, manufactured at the Royal Gun Factory, Woolwich.
It stands on an original Garrison Standing Carriage and can be found on the western ramparts at Fort Nelson.
Standing high on Portsdown Hill near Fareham, Fort Nelson showcases one of the world's finest collections of artillery and cannon, from across the ages and from all corners of the globe.
In 2011, this unique heritage attraction underwent a £3.5m redevelopment to create a museum for the 21st century, supported by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, complete with new galleries, state-of-the-art education centre and visitor facilities.

Hot Girls Get Away with Shit: Petition Prank with Playmate Anna Berglund

Petition to get Tupac knighted by the Queen of England? If it's Playmate Anna Berglund asking, men will do it.

Our hypothesis: Men will sign most anything Anna Berglund asks of them.
Luckily the guys at Loud decided to scientifically test that theory. They sent Miss January 2011 to the street, clipboard in hand, to see who she could get to sign her petitions. But Anna didn't ask men to sign any average petition; instead, her multiple "charities" were for such weighty social issues as trying to have Tupac knighted by the Queen of England and starting a national holiday for illegitimate children.
By the end of her day, Anna collected:
More names than we care to count A 15-minute coffee break while a random man took over her petition solicitation Enough money to buy said coffee One offer for a (we're guessing free) massage Our conclusion: Playmates are just as beautiful and charming clothed as they are nude.
Check out the rest of the series on their YoutubeChannel and stay tuned every Thursday at 7am PST for a new episode featuring our Playmates.

We turned the Ravens season around and pounded the 49ers.
Feeling real good about that...........
Last thing we need is "Six Francisco."
I can't stand either team but I think Baltimore Ravens are going to steamroll San Francisco 49ers. I don't even think the game will be close.
The 2012 Baltimore Ravens are basically a carbon copy of 2011 NY Giants. They turned thier season around by thrashing a NY team (us) and haven't glanced back once. They are on fire right now and they are a team that has strong belief in themselves. Joe Flaaco is playing out of his mind right now and the scary thing about him is that he has one of The Best arms in NFL, a straight up cannon.
I don't see San Francisco 49ers being able to stop Baltimore Ravens.
The Bengals were on a bigger losing streak before they played the Giants. Doesn't mean a thing. The Ravens definitely believe in themselves, otherwise they might have not gotten past the Broncos.
Just realized.
SF Giants - World Series Champs
SF 49ers - SB Champs???????

I would be in for a group buy as well
By "alternatives" I was speaking to packaging of MLPS. For instance,
one guy who ordered recently was planning on using it the same way as
you. He ordered a case of twelve and told me that he was going to
repackage it. So I suggested to him that instead of giving him twelve
4.4 oz boxes, I could give him the aggregate amount in three larger
bags, saving money on the box, and labor for nine bag fills. He liked
that idea, and I passed the savings on to him. He made my life easier,
so I returned the favor, and everybody won. If, in the future, you
order an entire case, I'll be more than happy to do the same. I'm all
about customer service, and if a special need is present, I'm more
than willing to help. Keep that in mind for the future.

Hay Coils this guy is just north of you???
No deal if we bought say 10+ cases?
As I mentioned, not really interested in larger containers, just a deal if we buy a bunch.
I'm sure we could sell 10 cases, I'd take at least one.
I did not ask for a deal, my main concern was self life. I am sure if i asked we could work a deal with him for volume. I don't want to run a group buy, but i am willing ask about volume purchase and discount on such volume and see what the answer is
another concern was taste, I am half sicilian 1st generation on my mother side, I know good sauce when i taste it. I wanted to try a packet and see how it tasted ( my taste would be much different from others) before I ordered more
we also can plum tomatoes cooked and processed into sauce its a family thing every year we do approx 350 mason jars so my interest in this is longterm self life
I will send off a price request and if its not a bargin or worth it then its ok with me
7.62 x 39 PM sent
I didn't notice that until you mentioned it, doh, they're 40 miles or less from me.Quote:
Hay Coils this guy is just north of you???
I'd like to try it first too before I'd deside on a large purchase.
I sent them an email to see if it's sold in any of the local stores, if it is I'll try to get some for this weekend.
Thank you for the contact info. I have sent him an email asking for some quotes. If he is willing to cut us a decent deal, I will post a feeler thread for a GB. I also asked him about getting a couple of samples. I'll let you all know what I hear.

my order of 6 packets was shipped to day i should have them next week i will prepare this when it comes and let you guys know
I heard back from him. here's the deal.
"Price breaks start at 7%, and that kicks in at 15 cases. (12 units per case) After 30 cases, I can take off 12%. 50 cases and above, 15%. Each person would of course be responsible for the shipping on top of that price, but the shipping will be handled on a person to person basis. I do not mark up shipping. What it costs me, it costs the customer, and I have a pretty good UPS discount available to me, so a good shipping price is guaranteed"
We should be able to move at least 30 cases. That will give us a 12% discount.
I'll take at least one of each if it's any good. He is sending me one pkg of each to try. I'll keep you guys up to speed.
I just placed an order on the site so I can try it, I asked about local stores but he's only doing mail order (at least that's what he said in the reply). I replied back saying I was hoping to find it locally to try it this weekend before placing an order for a case, but never got a reply, was hoping he'd offer me a sample. :(
So if I like it I'll be in for one or two cases, hopefully you guys don't get in a rush to do the order.

When a German internet entrepreneur can be seriously proposed as a candidate for New Zealander of the Year, our ideas of what constitutes "New Zealandness" are obviously in flux, to say the least.
This point was emphasised recently when I picked up a copy of The Kiwi Colouring Book at a $2 shop. (I was buying it for a friend, you understand.) In this order, pages showed: a puppy in a spaceship, a boy rowing a boat, the Sky Tower, the TSS Earnslaw, a tuatara, a kea and several more unmistakably New Zealand images before running out of steam and defaulting to a wheelbarrow, a goldfish, a bunny rabbit and a butterfly.
Some media, including this one, have recently been agonising over what New Zealandness means. There's a tendency to think icons constitute a culture, but France is not the Eiffel Tower, snails and croissants, and we are not Jandals, pavlovas and Buzzy bloody Bee.
As much as any other factor, being a New Zealander means a sense of connection to a place and the feeling you belong there. It may be the town where your parents were born and that you seldom visit; or the city where you were born and have always lived, or the temporary refugee accommodation, which was the first place you spent the night in your new country.
That sense of belonging also includes a connection to shared experiences - things that mean something to us but next to nothing to anyone else. That's one of the reasons why the anniversary of the Treaty of Waitangi signing is as good a day as any to be our national day. Like the 1981 Springbok tour, the Crewe murders or the Muldoon years, it's a piece of heritage that looms large in our minds. For all its faults and flaws, the Treaty still symbolises a continuing commitment to different cultures working together.
Unfortunately, it acknowledges only two cultures and we are made up of many more than that, especially in the north. As well as Maori and European New Zealanders we have - and always have had - a substantial Asian and Pacific islands ethnic component to our population. This is why we still can't decide whether Pakeha means European or non-Maori.
Asian New Zealanders now outnumber those from the Pacific islands and, according to the most recent available census figures, are our fastest growing population sector - up 50 per cent between 2001 and 2006.
To insist that we are two cultures is to tell a lot of people who make a big contribution to this country that they are not New Zealanders. It's time to expand the outdated, unrepresentative, bicultural model to include them.
It's not often you can look to politics for examples of gracious behaviour but no one exemplified that quality better than Maori Party leader Tariana Turia when asked about an article by Sir Paul Holmes, on Maori and Waitangi Day, which appeared a year ago and which could have been better expressed.
Turia said Holmes had told her he was sorry for the offence caused and for her part - in contrast to the many small-minded cavillers who brought the matter up as a reason why Holmes should not have been knighted - the matter was closed.
"The only people who suffer when you cannot forgive somebody else is yourself," she said.
You may want to cut that out and pin it up somewhere as an example of what politicians are capable of if they put their minds to it. It could be a while before something similar comes along.
Debate on this article is now closed.

Threats to close them miss the point; they are places where cultural capital is built up and lent out.
They installed a new self-checkout machine at my local library. It happened in October but I noticed it only a few weeks ago. That's because I make a habit of shunning it in favour of taking my books to the desk to be issued by one of the librarians.
The old machine scanned barcodes, like the one at the supermarket checkout; this new one, introduced to bring all the new city's libraries into line, uses radio frequency. You lay your items on a scanning pad and the machine electronically inhales all the details. It can do several items at a time while librarians look on, perhaps trying not to think about their jobs disappearing.
Or their library. That was the prospect raised by Mayor Len Brown in September last year: Grey Lynn and Mahurangi libraries were reported as being "marked for closure", as part of a bid to trim budgets by 3 per cent.
The next day, Brown was backpedalling furiously; perhaps the mayoral phone had run red-hot in the meantime. For now at least, the two libraries are safe, but after the local body elections in October, who knows?
To spend a few hours in the library last week was to contemplate what was at stake. I took up a position at one of the tables in part of the handsome 1924 Georgian building I'd never been in - I usually hang round the biography and travel shelves - so the titles within arm's length on either side were intriguingly unfamiliar. In Mussel Poachers of Orere Point, former fisheries officer Duncan Chisholm was telling a few yarns about catching crooks. I liked the bit about his hiring "a couple of burly Maori chaps who had been bouncers at the Gluepot ... Jim's imposing presence and direct manner seemed to have a calming effect on hotheads". On the other side, an American book called Nice House confirmed that the appalling interior decorating on sitcom sets is actually modelled on real life.
At the table next to me a Pasifika teenage girl had her nose in a novel. She had no bag and no apparent study purpose. The airconditioned library was a cool refuge from the fierce day and she remained motionlessly engrossed the whole time I was there.
From the other end of the building I could hear the contented gurgling of a baby whose parents were ferreting through the shelves for books for their excited toddler.
British columnist Caitlin Moran described libraries as "cathedrals of the mind; hospitals of the soul; theme parks of the imagination", and noted that they were "the only sheltered public spaces where you are not a consumer, but a citizen".
That probably wouldn't have cut much ice with brewery magnate Doug Myers, as he was in 1998 when he wrote in these pages that it was of no value to him if someone else read a book.
That comment is easier to make if you grew up in a house full of books, as Myers did, and the teenager at the next table very probably didn't. Amendments to the Local Government Act last year solidified the idea that councils have no business funding cultural life.
It was always the working-class who pushed for libraries because they couldn't take knowledge for granted: the famous Linen Hall Library in Belfast, which people paid to belong to, was formed by artisans, not merchants. Here, the local branch of the Labour Party asked the council to schedule the opening of the Grey Lynn Library on a Saturday afternoon so as to "[afford] Workers the opportunity of being present on that important occasion".
Waitemata Community Board member Rob Thomas, who is vowing to defend the library, is enthusiastic about the need to "manage the growth of services throughout the inner city while keeping the cost down". One option being explored is placing self-service book kiosks at transport hubs.
But it's hard not to wonder whether it's really about the books. In an age when the latest bestseller can be downloaded to your smartphone, content isn't everything. If we think of libraries as places where intellectual property is stored for people to access for free, it becomes easy to see it as a waste of public money.
But if you see it as a place where cultural capital is built up and lent out - at zero interest - it starts to look more like a treasure trove than an expense.

Town Square
U.S. Grants Outside of U.S.
Original post made by askidoo, Alamo, on Feb 4, 2011
Browse through and see how much in many categories are not for local citizens and outside of the United States and add up to many millions of dollars. It is an interesting view of foreign aid or 'grants' go to grants.gov: grant search; browse by agency or category.
An example under Community is the Yemen Responsive Government Project which is through Egypt USAID in Cairo. Cost is $43,000,00. It is an example of a failed project idea if you watch all that is happening in recent news stories on both Egypt and Yemen (understatement). Or the similar Community Livelihoods Project for $125,000,000. Both state they are, in some way,"to facilitate more equitable 'socio-economic development... to mitigate the drivers of instability in Yemen."

This is a very good example of how we the people are asleep and need a good kick in the behind.
If the Danville Express wrote an article that a tree was being cut down in the Town of Danville there would 20 + comments an hour.
Garamendi is not a good representative for We The People...in fact none of them are...they are for me, myself and I.
I really hope some day soon, We The People wake up and let those so called representatives we allow to look out for our interest that We The People come first. If not, you may see some civil actions we see happening in other places.
Thanks for listening...Julia from Alamo

Wow. That's an eye-opener into how our Government has grown into such an expensive, huge, slush-fund of BIG GOVERNMENT COST. So many give-aways for other countries at our expense. So many lush executive jobs for gov't workers to work to improve other countries at our expense.
I just BROWSED for awhile at Web Link
I discovered an AGENCY named "Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI)" which has one program listed as "01/21/2011 Civic Education Middle East Partnership Initiative NEAPI-11-AW-031-MENA-012111".
This one program has $7 million of funding (taxpayer's money) to promote civic education of children and youth (...ages of 15 and 30) across the Middle East and North Africa "to become active and engaged participants in social, political, and economic life."
The MEPI is just one part of the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs which is one part of the U.S. Department of State. The MEPI has 35 full-time staff and contractors in Washington, D.C., and Coordinators, Administrators, and Foreign Service Officers serving in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
And this is one of thousands of such governmental "grant" programs.
This is exactly why "Conservatives" say that Government is too big and too expensive.
Maybe this is a "nice" program by a "nice" agency that does "good" things in the world. But this is not what our American "government" should be involved in--government has extended itself too far and too costly. If American individuals want to "do good" for others, then let them make that private choice. Government should not be exacting taxes from any of us to then spend it on these grand schemes!

I'm honestly not worrying about it until it comes out in the PTR notes or some other official post. There are tons of things that have been in the PTR unannounced that have been dropped in the next build. Chaos bolt isn't the biggest offender in PvP, so it'd be interesting to see the rationale behind this going live. Even if it does go live, it just forces us into a crit/haste build over a mastery build at the very worst, which means Demo will be my offspec over affliction most likely.

Continue working around and pressing the fabric down with the iron.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Continue working around and pressing the fabric down with the iron.
Keep on going until you have a kite shape like this.
Now, go back to the edge you started with and unfold that edge and then fold the backing fabric back onto itself by 1/2" and finger press down.
Now, fold that edge over again so that you now have a 1/2" wide border on top that has a finished edge next to the window fabric (since there is 1/2" of backing fabric folded under that). Finger press this down.
Working counter-clockwise, do the same double folding thing with the next edge. Pay attention to the size of the borders you're creating, as they should all look a uniform 1/2".
Continue working your way around. The fold of the edge you just finished will help hold down the previous edge you folded.
There, we have our kit shaped block all finger pressed now.
Press with a steam iron to set the folds.
Now, we're going to stitch down those folds in a counter-clockwise pattern. So set the needle down into the fabric so that it is just inside the fold line and just less than 1/2" from the edge of the window fabric.

But if you want to call it that then that's your prerogative.

I guess it depends on the use of the word lol
Ask yourself in the 2007 season, would you want to be 18-1? How much would you trade for a 19-0 season if you are in the brink of it? Would you rather make all the playoffs for the next 5 years or win that perfect season?
My only point is that if you put yourselves in a Patriots fan's shoes, you won't be happy with just making the playoffs for so many years, being so close and not winning the whole thing. I believe there will be more frustration than the frustration people feel now. I can honestly say I would be extremely frustrated and would have been depressed for a couple of days if we had a chance for a perfect season and squandered it and that that loss would have always lived with me. I'm glad we were not at the receiving end of that loss. And I have to admit, being the underdog and robbing them of the perfect season was such an amazing feeling. It makes me happy every time I think of it. :)
There is a disappointment because we don't make the playoffs every year, and that disappointment comes from the fact that we have two recent Super Bowls so people have high expectations. But hey it's so much better than be in a "given up" state or "acceptance" state where failure is just a norm and you suck it up. Like being an Eagles fan, I would say you probably have hopes (some high) start of every season, but when you ultimately fail to win that trophy, it's just business usual, and you're just able to accept it easily because there was never precedence of success. In other words, this could have been the dark days of the 90s for us, but it is not and we have higher expectations, thus probably more disappointment. If you do ask yourselves honestly, I don't think you'd like to be the Patriots fan for most of these last 10 years either because I don't know of any fan who will just be happy of making every playoffs and not winning one. I do think among all fans, we probably have the best experience these last few years because we've won two and made the best of our opportunities given how precarious our chances to get there in the first place. If you think there is another team who's had better than us in the last five years, lemme know. :)
Its obvious Gronk is the most important part of that team. WIth him they might be close to unstopable, without him they are average.


text: WHAT SHOULD SHE EAT?Your baby is 40 weeks old, that is all of 10 months! As a proud mother, you must be happy to see her grow! You can start giving her lumpier foods to eat, like cooked pulao or baked potato with its skin removed. These are table foods, and they can now safely be introduced. Only, make sure that you feed him food pieces that are very small in size, they should not be bigger than a pea. Let your baby eat herself, give her a spoon with a big handle, if that's what she wants. Even if she creates a mess with all her food, never mind it. It will take her some practice to master the art of eating, that too with a spoon!

Just wondering.
Just wondering.
To be brief... No.
They Rob.
they also will kill to do so
I am still learning to identify robbing. Happened across this article. Tells what they rob, how to spot it, prevent it, etc.
Zone 7b ~ Central Arkansas

Starving bees will eat eggs in their own hive - at least I think I read that on the internet. It must be true. If so, robbing could cause eggs to be eaten.
I made a robber screen and installed it last night just before dark. Talk about alot of confused girls. I read on here that the workers living in the hive would have no problem finding their way back in if shut in for the night. Well I have hundreds of bees trying to get in today. Lots are robbers, but several have filled pollen baskets so I assume they are residents of the hive. Robbers dont carry in pollen do they? About 5 per minute are actually finding their way in. Lots of bees inside the screen trying to get out. Maybe 1-2 per minute are successful.
If you cover the screened part of the robber screen with something - masking tape, aluminum foil, whatever - for a day or two until the foragers orient to the opening they will have an easier time of it. Unfortunately if you already have lots of robbing going on this can also help the robbers figure it out. But if you are deploying robber screens preemptively it helps a lot.
The word that the resident bees won't have any problem figuring it out never got around to my bees either.

Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
So how do you like your dealerships, state the name of the dealership and any experience you have had with them. Rate them by:Very Good, Good, O.K., Bad.
University Cadillac (Ed Morse Cadillac Pembroke Pines)
Service: Very Good.....though high priced like any dealer.
Salesmen: Very Good.....not overly aggresive.
Dealership layout: Very Good.....They have their own bodyshop and paint booth, the showroom is also very nice with a great room dedicated to Vogue Tyres and accesories. They also have a very large tunnel like area for you to put your car in before service (away from sun and rain)
Overall I really like them...its a nice atmosphere but like all dealers they charge an arm and a leg to do service....they have great prices on used cars though and many have the works done to them (Vogues;Carrige top;E&G grill)
Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
I would vote, but I'm not sure what to vote. One time they are holding doors and very courteous, and the next they look at me like I just woke up in a dumpster.
Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
I voted "good" as that's what they were ~ but after 53 + years, they retired and sold the land to a "Big-6" Hotel Chain. No more Cadillac Dealership in this county of 23 towns. Sad. THAT is the reason that I bought my 2003 Town Car. The Lincoln Dealer is 8 miles from my house on quiet suburban residential streets. They are the #1 rated Lincoln/Mercury dealer in America, with a CSI of 99.2. Everything there is past fantastic. Repeat business is like 100%. They can't do enough for their customers. I see so many of the people I saw at the Caddy dealership, there bringing their Lincolns in for maintenance, it seems funny. They are the top rated L-M dealer in America. Going there for the first time, a customer is simply overcome.
Prices are the norm, for New Jersey. Labor rate is $85.00 a hour, but the service advisors (5) explain everything in great detail, and expalin their pricing for everything. You get back your old parts & they show you what was wrong. They work with you (if you're a good customer) with covering warrantee parts - after your warrantee is over, even. They have parties, too for good customers. After every service you get called to see if you are pleased, and all the salesmen are really nice, and live in the community. One is the coach for the little league. They are knowledgable & polite.
I would buy there again. They NEVER "knock" another's product, nor another dealership. They just tell you what they'll do and display their trophies from Ford. Once when they were out of Town Car loaners (they have 25 of them) they took me home and then sent a car to pick me up and bring me back, total of 17 miles....and then apoligized to me.

Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
Russ Darrow Cadillac in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
I made a mistake when I bought my 04 CTS there in march. The service manager told me " It would take us too much time to fix the rattle in your dash...just live with it".
That wasn't my first problem with them...but it will be my last.
Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
JefferyG, I think that the Ed Morse is the top in florida...they have like 5 Caddy dealers under their name.
Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
I had a problem with a rough idle and knocking main bearing.I took it to the dealer because of bad experiences with other repair shops..so I thought I would have better luck with going to a dealer,WRONG!!
I was guaranteed that having my injectors and main bearing fixed that I would have no more problems with my car but as it turns out they screwed me.
$1400 for a main bearing and two fuel injectors was the first I should of knew it didn't cost that much but I was in a hurry to get the car fixed because it was still under warranty and it was going to expire within two weeks.First they agree to repair my car under the warranty,then decide not to,no problem the warranty company would reimburse me..but they had my car for almost a month before telling me that I would have to pay for the repairs.
I knew I should of went somewhere else when they said I have to pay for a new seal on the oil pan..$300 which was just replaced a month before,they said if I used the same gasket,it wouldn't be warranteed if it leaked.. Who charges a separate price for a gasket when changeing a main bearing?I had them use the same one.
Here's where the fun starts,go to pick up my car,they washed it and had it ready when I noticed my center caps were tarnished black,told the manager and he came out and looked at them and said no problem,will get them polished,and then we notice the shine is gone from my rims and streaky..manager says no problem bring the whole car and we will polish your rims too.
Took the car back the next day and let them know it still was running rough,they say we'll check a few other things for you but let's fix the wheels.
The manager comes to me and says,an employee used wheel acid on your rimsyour center caps can't be fixed so we will order new ones,come back in a few days so I did to find out they can't replace these center caps and they wanted to paint them to match my car,i argued I did not want painted caps but that's all they were going to do.I turn around an his employee is scrubbing my rims as fast as he can with steel wool..hoping I wouldn't see him,i guess.I threw a fit,what the hell is this guy doing scrubbing my rims like that?I told the manager that my rims are ruined because not only did they spray wheel acid on them but an idiot just took steel wool to them,the manager turned into a big a$$ and said it would be fine after they get polished.
A month later I take my car back to show them the pitting that has started on my rims and a picture of what my rims had looked like three months before they worked on my car,the manager says,yes your wheels have been damaged and we will fix it,come back tomorrow after I talk to the boss.Come back and this butthead tells me that his employee has the same wheels and they look the same and they deal with newer cars,not ones like mine..what!!
At this point I was going to sue this jerk but I didn't have time to get to court,now I do!
To make this short my car still runs the same,rims are damaged severly and these jerks got away with it,for now anyways.By the way the rims are the 20 slot gold anodized spring edition wheels and the dealer is DeLorean in Lakewood Ohio.Of course there is more to the story but don't want to bore anyone,the one the great thing I did for revenge is put a sign in my back window that said DeLorean Cadillac damaged my rims
Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
The dealer closest to me it horrible! They wanted to charge me to fix warranty items that the dealer 20 miles away would fix for free!
The other Cadillac dealer was awesome! Everytime I went there for warranty work, they would have Enterprise on standby to pick me up and get me into a rental Deville, or Tahoe!
The first dealer it took me almost a week to get them to loan me thier abused to death Malibu that was filthy and reaked of cigarettes!
I don't see how two dealers can be on total opposites of the customer service scale!
Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
Nothing but good stories from me from Paul Conte Cadillac in Freeport, LI. The one time they screwed up the service dept. manager came over and took care of it before I had to say a word.~Steve
Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
I don't see how two dealers can be on total opposites of the customer service scale!
It's all in the hands of the owner! If it's a chain store, or a big conglomerate, or a "highway" store there's a good chance that service is gonna be lousey.
If it's privately owned, and the owner is on the premises more often than not, and/or his name is on the building, you have a better chance for really decent service.
Yes, there are exceptions, but not many!
Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
Capitol Cadillac in Lansing, MI. Well youve gotta be good when the car youre selling and servicing is built in your own town.Capitol is pretty good, of course pricey as any dealership is. Ive only had one un-acceptable experience in the service department, mostly one of the service guys is a jack-ass. Actually im seriously considering asking for a job there; perhaps tomorrow, was going to do it today but... never got around to it...
Their facility is very nice, garaged waiting area for you car before service, their own high tech body shop with a paint booth or two. Ive never bought a car their so im not sure about salesmenship. They have very little in the way of used cars(something i would like to see improved), but they are also a hummer dealership, so i think all their used car effort went to the H2, including their used car facility.
Overall im very happy with the service and attention i get there, i would recomend them.

Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
Crest Cadillac in Brookfield, Wisconsin has been great to work with. I didn't buy my 04 CTS from them..I made a big mistake and bought from Russ Darrow in Waukesha, WI.
I tried Crest when Darrow exhibited a really bad attitude toward fixing a problem with my car. I explained to the service writer at Crest that I was a refugee from Russ Darrow, and told him exactly what the problem was. He couldn't have been any nicer...and immediately identified the problem, and had it fixed.
That's a big advantage that a cadillac buyer has versus lexus, mercedes, etc. There are generally multiple cadillac dealers in an area...but very seldom multiple lexus or mercedes. If you get a bad dealer...you can try another with Cadillac.
Their service department cost Russ Darrow a customer, while Crest's service department gained them a new one.
Re: Rate your local Cadillac Dealership.
I don't mean to break-in here but I think this is a very important discussion. I hope many people participate...
My local dealer in Farmingdale, New York was Sarant Cadillac. When I was a regular customer, they treated me like gold. I had a 1995 Eldorado Touring Coupe (around the year 2000) and they really rolled out the red carpet for me - even though the car was 5 years old. The only thing that ever raised my eye-brows was when I paid $50.00 to have a bulb changed in my 1995 Fleetwood Brougham - but, I hadn't been to Sarant in about 2 years and they didn't remember me. Otherwise, they probably would have just thrown that in with something else I had done...
Nowadays, I'm in West Palm Beach, Florida - and I haven't been to a Cadillac dealer yet...If this site has helped you save money, please consider helping it continue to do so. Click here for information!

Google Chrome OS: We all benefit!
It is true that there are hundreds of distributions in the GNU/Linux community. But the more we have the better for us all. Usually, the best distros rise to the top and the others that are not as popular slowly wither away. It gives us a huge choice and this competition creates innovation. The announcement of Google creating an OS that will be based on the Linux kernel is very important and has significant implications. Google has a lot of funding and can push the Chrome OS to many new users who have never heard of Linux before. Most GNU/Linux distributions do not have a lot of money to advertise as extensively as Google will. The advertising of Chrome OS helps to advertise GNU/Linux in general. It is true that Chrome OS will put some stress on the already established distributions but this is a minor issue if you compare it to how much good they will do for the GNU/Linux community in general. Google hasn't released anything yet and only their announcement of a OS has brought the word Linux to the masses. The news has been very popular on technology sites and many other non technology ones as well. This shows how powerful Google and its ability to market Linux really is. Google is one company that has the power to bring GNU/Linux to a whole new level. Even if their operating system would prove to be mediocre, people can always switch to a more established distribution of GNU/Linux afterwards. A company with so much power as Google will spread the GNU/Linux project to the masses. Just making people aware of an alternative to Microsoft Windows is a huge accomplishment in itself.
So, to the people that are complaining that we don't need another OS or that it will put pressure on the existing distributions: it is important to weight the benefits of Chrome OS over its disadvantages. When Chrome OS will be released, a lot of people will at least try their operating system because it is from Google. It will attract many new users from Windows and Mac OS, introduce them to the concept of GNU/Linux and show them that alternatives are available. Then, if they are not happy with Chrome OS they can try out other established distributions. Google will play a huge and overall positive role for the GNU/Linux community. The more companies, organizations, individuals get behind GNU/Linux and promote it, the better for us all. With the introduction of Chrome OS we all benefit.

I can never understand why some people decry a concept, such as 'another Linux OS', rather than wait for the product itself and give credible critique.ReplyDelete
It may well be that Chrome OS offers nothing of value to the community, or that it harmfully disrupts the other distros, but to be frank we don't know until it is released. And if those other platforms are in such a fragile state of existence, then perhaps we all need to get a little tougher and do some pruning.
If not, then these smaller distros will continue to have their fans and these larger concerns can get on with taking their whack at Windows.
I hope I'm not the only one who doesn't see this as a new OS. This is simply a new default patch set and configuration manager. Regardless of you configuration tool, processor, or memory map it's still just Linux. It has all the benefits and drawbacks of other distros. The only real debate on any new flavor of Linux is the community, support and implementation ease.ReplyDelete

text: I got a call that they cut down a tree a week ago and had bees, the log is approx. 5 ft long, maybe 2ft dia, and the bees were in a hole on the side like a broken limb. the wood cutter nailed some screen over the hole and the bees were active back when it was cold. I checked the log today at 59 degrees, the bees were flying and getting in and out under a corner of the screen. The question is what would be the best way to get these bees in a deep super, maybe if it's cold do nothing until warms up, but then what, I can't nail a super over the hole as it's too small and on the side. I've tried cutting logs vertically to extract bees with no success, any ideas here?

Jayde Nicole: Five Fitness Myths Busted
Jayde Nicole tackles five common fitness myths floating around gyms.
Welcome to Workout Wednesdays, the Playboy.com fitness blog by Jayde Nicole—personal trainer, fitness nutritionist, health nut, TV personality and, last but not least, Playboy's 2008 Playmate of the Year. Check back each week for Jayde's latest tips, and be sure to visit her all-new fitness website JaydeNicole.com.
Five Common Fitness Myths Busted
So you hear exercise rumors all the time, at the gym, from your friends, but which are true and which are completely false? Know your facts! I have done my research on five popular fitness myths and its time to set the record straight!
- Running on a treadmill is better for your knees then running on pavement.
Having a bad knee myself, I have heard this myth from countless "fitness-know-it-alls" in gyms all over the world. If you have a bum knee but love to workout you know you will take any help you can get, so I let my self believe this for years. Once I started studying the human body and personal training more thoroughly, I came across many great articles on this subject. Unfortunately, since it's the force of your body's weight on your joints that causes the stress, it's the same no matter what surface you run on, treadmill, track, or straight pavement. So get outside and enjoy the weather!
- Doing crunches will get rid of belly fat.
As a personal trainer, I get this question all the time. "What exercise can I do to get rid of my muffin top?", " I do 100 crunches a night to get rid of my belly fat, what other ab exercises will help me get rid of it?" The answer is none. It is unfortunate that we cannot target fat burning where we want it. Everyone carries fat differently on their bodies. The only way to get rid of it is an over all weight loss program with a healthy diet and a full body strength training program. You cannot pick and choose areas where you'd like to burn fat!
- The more you are sweating the harder your workout is.
We all use this myth; don't act like you don't! We wear our sweatshirts on the treadmill and feel more accomplished when we are drenched in sweat at the end of our workout. Using your wet t-shirts as an indicator of your workout intensity will not actually help! Sweating is just your body's way of cooling itself.
It is common to burn a significant amount of calories without breaking a sweat. Try taking a long walk, swimming or doing some lightweight training.
- The "No pain, no gain" theory.
This is one of the worst myths out there because it encourages people to push themselves to injury thinking they are just getting a good workout.
While you should expect some muscle "burning" during your strength training and some degree of soreness the next day, there should never be any real pain during your exercise. If there is, you are most likely doing something wrong or using too high a weight. Seek the advice of a certified personal trainer for proper positioning and lower your weight until you have built up your strength.
- Cardio burns more fat than lifting weights.
For every 1 pound of muscle you gain your metabolism is boosted by 2 to 4 percent and your body burns approximately 50-70 more calories a day. You also end up burning more calories post-exercise. Doing a mix of strength training and cardio will burn the greatest amount of energy and show the best results. For a great fat-burning workout, try a circuit-training routine that uses high-speed intervals on a treadmill or outdoors, combined with a series of exercises like walking lunges, medicine ball squats, push-ups, crunches, and pull ups.
Now you know the truth. You can't live in denial any longer! Now you go be a "fitness-know-it-all" at your gym and share your myth busting facts with everyone that will listen.

C. G. Jung (1875–1961), the founder of analytical psychology, was one of the first theorists to take seriously what happens in our dreams. But his work goes far beyond psychotherapy to embrace symbolism, religion, archetypes, sexuality, art, and even occult phenomena. His ideas have been expanded and enriched by the works of his numerous students and followers, and his influence today is felt in a range of areas—from art to science to popular culture.

Witches are individuals with special powers like ESP, telekinesis, mind control, and so on. Not the typical hogwart and newt potions. Robin, a craft user, arrives from Italy to Japan to work for an organization named STN Japan Division (STN-J) as a replacement for one of STN-J's witch hunters who was recently killed. Unlike other divisions of STN, STN-J tries to capture the witches alive in order to learn why and how they became witches in the first place.
Witch Hunter Robin is a pretty cool anime which aired in the U.S. on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim from 2004–2005. There are a total of 26 episodes.

A show about a girl named Robin Sena who moved to Japan from an Italian Monestary (sp?). She has the ability of Pyrokinesis - The Ability to light fires with her mind - (also known as "the craft)" and she joins a group known as STN. This group hunts witches, but does not kill them. They are sent to "Factory." The gothic look and episodic style of anime is quite intruiging!

Vaccine Storage Safety
With kids back in school, many parents were able to check off immunizations on their back to school to do list. Vaccines are not just for babies, they also keep older children healthy and protect their fellow students.
Each day, your pedestrian should be checking off their list...storage safety when it comes to your child's vaccines. A recent government study showed that not all vaccine providers ensure proper storage of their vaccines raising concerns that improper storage may reduce the effectiveness of a vaccine.
The Center for Disease Control sets strict guidelines for vaccine storage that all medical offices are required to follow.
Here's how it should work. In my office, vaccines arrive almost daily in large temperature controlled Styrofoam containers. Some vaccines need to be kept cold while others are to remain frozen until they are used.
The temperature of vaccines needs to be monitored from the time they leave the manufacturer, during shipping and when they arrive and are stored in the doctor's office.
The pediatrician's office refrigerator needs to be closely monitored as well to ensure that each vaccine is stored correctly. The vaccines should be well labeled, and each different vaccine should be placed in separate bins.
Vaccine expiration dates need to be monitored and expired vaccines should be discarded immediately. The refrigerator and freezer temperatures should be recorded at least twice daily, and there should be a back up power or alarm system in case of a power outage.
If you're concerned about vaccine storage safety, talk with your pediatrician and ask them to give you a peek inside their vaccine storage refrigerators. I will put your mind at ease. I'm Dr. Sue with The Kid's Doctor helping parents take charge.

Step 1
To prepare filling: Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks and carrots and cook, stirring, until the leeks soften, about 7 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute more.
Step 2
Pour in wine and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated. Add flour and sage and cook, stirring constantly, until the flour starts to turn light brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in broth and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and the carrots are barely tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add turkey (or chicken) and peas and season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a deep 10-inch pie pan or other 2-quart baking dish and set aside.
Step 4
To mash potatoes and bake pie: Place potatoes in a large saucepan and add cold salted water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, partially covered, until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and return the potatoes to the pan. Cover and shake the pan over low heat to dry the potatoes slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Step 5
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or whip with an electric mixer, adding enough buttermilk to make a smooth puree. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in egg and 1 tablespoon oil.
Step 6
Spread the potatoes on top of the turkey mixture. With the back of a spoon, make decorative swirls. Set the dish on a baking sheet and bake until the potatoes and filling are heated through and the top is golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

Dayton: add sales tax to clothes, services
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Gov. Mark Dayton is proposing Minnesotans pay a lower overall sales tax rate but that it should be applied to more goods and services, including clothes over $100.
The budget blueprint Dayton is unveiling Tuesday proposes big changes to the state's sales tax. It would apply the sales tax to some services now exempt, but would continue to exempt food and medical services along with clothing purchases under $100.
More things would be subject to the state sales tax, but its overall rate would drop from the current 6.875 percent down to 5.5 percent under Dayton's proposal. That's a 20-percent decrease, which Dayton's office says is the largest in state history.
They say Minnesota would go from the 7th highest sales tax rate to the 27th highest among U.S. states.
