GM Recalls Continue With Newer Model Camaros, Cadillacs
General Motors Co. (GM) recalled 717,950 vehicles, including some recent-model Chevrolet Camaros and Buick Regals, to repair seats, turn signals and other parts.
The action involves six separate recalls, including 414,333 Camaros, Regals and Buick LaCrosses from model years 2011-2012 to replace a bolt for seat-height adjustments, Detroit-based GM said in a statement today. Today's actions bring to almost 29 million the number of vehicles GM has flagged in North America this year after the company also revised downward recalls announced last month.
"These recalls signify how we've enhanced our approach to safety," Jeff Boyer, GM's vice president, of global vehicle safety, said in the statement. "We are bringing greater rigor and discipline to our analysis and decision making. If we identify an issue – large or small – that might affect the safety of our customers, we will act decisively."
GM revised its tally for the number of vehicles recalled in a June 30 action because some cars had been double counted. About 6.6 million vehicles are affected by that recall, or about 1 million less than what was initially assessed, the company said in a statement sent by e-mail.
The biggest U.S. automaker is stepping up the pace of recalls as it faces multiple investigations for its slowness in calling back 2.59 million small cars with ignition flaws linked to at least 13 deaths. Since that action began in February, the company has recalled other cars for similar issues.
Chevy Spark
Today's recalls also include 124,008 vehicles where seat hook brackets may have received an incomplete welding, GM said. No injuries or fatalities are related to this recall, GM said. The welding issue affects the 2014 Chevrolet Caprice, 2014 Chevrolet SS, and 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado LD and HD and 2014-2015 GMC Sierra LD and HD.
GM also recalled 120,426 Buick Regals from the 2011-2013 model years and Chevrolet Malibus from 2013 for internal turn signal indicators that may not work. GM said it isn't aware of any injuries or fatalities related to this recall.
Other cars involved in the six recalls today include the 2014-2015 Chevy Spark to fix a lower control-arm bolt and 2015 Chevrolet and GMC large sport-utility vehicles with roof carriers that may have been attached with the wrong retaining nuts.
GM fell 35 cents, or 0.9 percent, to $37.41 at the close in New York.
GM has surpassed the record for U.S. safety fixes by an automaker in a calendar year. With today's new recalls, the tally is 25.5 million for the U.S. and 28.8 million for North America. That eclipses Ford Motor Co. (F)'s single-year record of 23.3 million in 2001.
By comparison, automakers are projected to sell 16.1 million new cars and trucks industrywide this year, according to the average of analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

Congratulations ... I'm so glad you had a great Christmas :)
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Congratulations ... I'm so glad you had a great Christmas :)
I wish I could say my family's relationship has mended. I have 5 brothers and sisters, all are mad at me. I have tried to contact all of them many times.
Thank you for sharing this encouraging news! The Christmas season can be difficult for many people - and it is just so neat to hear of a mended family relationship. Hugs to you from Iowa :)
Building on a relationship-- one suggestion is to make an offer (better in e-mail or letter so she can re-read and re-think her reply) to buy one of her baskets as a gift for someone you know, someone that she does not know. Show her you are proud of her work, and acknowledge her creativity. That is a grand gesture that she cannot ignore. Just don't defeat yourself by bargaining for a discount price!!!! Good luck! Some things cannot be hurried...
I am very happy for you.Originally Posted by trueimage
as has already been said small steps and things will get better in time.
it took me over 30 years to even get an hallo from my father inlaw, and 33 years to convince my MIL that I wasn't what she thought of me. after I helped to shower her and do little jobs for her after her operation, but she still went to the grave saying I tricked her son into marrying me, it must be the longest trick in history as we have now been married for 46 years. her oldest son still hates me but he hates everyone so that is his problem. he is even turning his own children away from him by the way he shouts at everyone, I am sure he will burst his boiler soon,
it is so sad when people behave badly everyone suffers one way or another.
WONDERFUL!!! Life is too short to let petty things keep a person from loved ones! I'm glad she's coming around.
well, that's great. Glad things are mending but it sounds like your DH is right so step lightly.
good news maybe one day my sis will get over herself heres hoping
give her a huge long hug when you see her, before she can distance herself. good luck.

MOrning, all.
I am new to this forum and am searching out support/help with our 10 month old basset.
Tulip starting having what we termed 'episodes' about a month and half ago. She would run around climbing at the walls, barking and howling and generally going crazy. She would then lose control of bladder and bowels. We thought they might be seizures, and took her to the vet. The vet said it was possible and to watch her and try to record one so they could see it.
Well...3 weeks later and she has had a couple more (but we hadn't been home, or had the camera ready to take the video, unfortunately). Last night, however, she had a full blown, grand mal seizure (stiff legs, foaming, uncontrollable shaking, etc.) She didn't seem to recognize me after and growled at me and tried to snap at my hand. (She is normally the most loving dog you will ever meet). We called the vet and they are prescribing Pheno and we should get it this afternoon.
So...long story....these are my questions:
1. Does anyone have experience with Pheno (good/bad) and do you know of any better alternatives (I'm worried about the liver damage and weight gain)
2. When she comes out of a seizure (and for the last month or so in general) she has been incredibly whiny, and clingy. (totally unlike her up to this point on the 7 months we have had her). Can that be caused by seizures? I have read so much saying dogs don't know it has happened, but she seems particularly cognizant of it.
Thanks for any advice!

They know something has happened but they are not actually conscious during the seizure (as per someone I knew with epilepsy). Seizures are tiring and usually leave them a bit disoriented.
There is a website devoted to canine epilepsy, I'll try to find the link later. A lot of its members reported a reduction in seizures after switching their dogs to a homemade diet. FWIW, ketogenic (very low carb) diets are also often used to help control seizures in children. So that might be worth looking into. Personally I did notice that my dog seemed to have fewer sei_res when being fed homemade.

Thank you for your comments, Soundtrack.
We changed her food from puppy wellness to the Wellness Simple Duck and Rice when she was about 8 months. It is a limited ingredient, hypo-allergenic dog food that our older dog, Owen, eats. Do you think that could be contributing in some way? When you say homemade, where do you find good information on what should be included in a homemade dog diet? Is that something my vet could tell me?
Also, even if her seizures end with Pheno, is there a decreased lifespan with epileptic dogs in general?
Thanks again!

The most common alternative is KBr (Potassium Bromide) often times they are used in conjuction with each other however KBr takes 2 weeks or more to build to theraputic level so most dogs are started on Pheno and then sometimes weened of of it once theraputic Values of Kbr are reach and/or If KBr does not contol siezure on its own. Used in conjuction with each othe the amount of Pheo can often be reduced thereby reducing the risks associated with it. Most of the other medication used to treat epilepsy in humans are rapidly metablized by dogs meaning these more expensive medication need to be given very frequently and precisiely timed to be effective so they are general reserved for those cases that are not responsive to Pheno, KBr or a combination of the two.
Give the age of the dog it is most likely Idopathic ( no known cause) epilepsyn but there is no diagnostic tool for this disease basical the diagnose is reached by eliminating all other possible causes. ie tumor in the brain, brain trauma, toxic chemicals, liver shunts, hypothyrodism. While it is highly unlikely you should have the vet run a complete thyroid panel Even marginal low thyroid levels have been known to induce siezures, Pheno affect thyroid test so it is best to test whenever possible before the dog is on it,
Pheno itself is not the problem in life span with epilepsy it is the siezure. It is important that they be controled because basical each siezure the dog has makes the next siezure more likely as it lowers the threshold of electrical activity that starts a siezure. Keeping a siezure diary may help pinpoint triggers and minimize the dogs exposure to them as well. Unfortunately my experience with the disease is not a good one, The siezures were neer controled and the dog died form her first and only status siezure ( siezure lasting more than 10 minutes) Usually vets are reluctant to do so, but givin my past experience I would insist on a dose of liquid valium that can be delivered rectally just in case. such siezures do not often occur when only minutes from a vet.

Hey there Sarah,
I know exactly how you're feeling. I had a dog with canine epilepsy and we were able to treat it without using any anti-epilepsy drugs. Our treatment had to do with a major change in nutrition and worked so well that he didn't have a seizure over the final 5 years of his life.
His name was Cory, and his improvement in health was so significant that my mom actually wrote a book called "Cory's Story" that details his life including how we cured him of seizures through a change in diet.
The diet change? Raw.
We switched him to a raw, meaty-bones diet and his health immediately improved. I now fully advocate this diet to all dog owners; it simply worked miracles for Cory.
I really hope you give it a try and let us know how it goes. It's absolutely the healthiest thing you can do for your dog.

Lack of scientific evidence or not (and I am no expert), I can tell you two definitive things:
1) The change in diet from kibble to raw had such a profound effect on my epileptic dog that he was literally cured of seizures. He lived the last 5 years of his life seizure-free. He was a yellow labrador and lived to be 13.5 years old (amazing for a lab, even more so for an epileptic one).
2) Dogs are carnivores; there should be no disputing that. They descended from wolves. Kibble was never nature's intended meal for a dog, though I'm not saying that you are advocating kibble.
What I'm saying is that if kibble isn't right, and dogs are carnivores, what logical choice does that leave? In my opinion, the answer is raw. If it can cure an epileptic dog, imagine what it can do for healthy dogs.

It does not need to be raw to be beneficial I think is all Mike is trying to say. There are many home cooked diets that can be administered as well and have the same benefits... plus you then don't need to worry about the splintering bones and harmful bacteria that can sometimes accompany a raw diet when one is new to it and unaware of how to properly prepare it. I know of many who swear by raw... not as a therapy for seizures but just as a general food protocol. I am neither way I prefer the kibble I know and know where all the ingredients come from but that's just me.

Thanks for all of your comments. We certainly have a lot to think about. I am particularly frustrated because she is still so young.
But....we are trying to get past that and do what is best for her through both pharmaceuticals and diet change. We are hoping with those changes we will be able to keep her seizure free for the vast majority of her days.

One dog is too small of a sample size to come to a conclusion about a diet change universally directly affecting a disease. It is possible that it was simply a coincidence, or that your specific dog reacted better than others would. That's why actual scientific studies involve many subjects and a control group in order to have a large sample size that supports cause and effect, not coincidence.

When surgeons recommend procedures, where is the line between what the patient thinks they need and the most aesthetic result?
Doctor Answers 9
Who Has The Final Decision As To What Surgical Procedures Are Done - The Patient Or The Surgeon?
In today's world with the internet at everyone's disposal, very often patients come in with ideas as to what surgeries they want and how they want the surgeries done. Very often, through research and talking to friends, patients come up with excellent ideas. On the other hand, at times, they do not take every possibility into consideration and it is the surgeon's responsibility to let the patient know what surgeries would be best for the stated problem.
I believe surgeons should have strong opinions, and that way, patients can know what surgeries each surgeon feels appropriate for that patient's particular problem. The patient should choose the surgeon, and the surgeon should choose the procedure. Very often, the patient and the surgeon agree as to what procedures would be most aesthetic. On the other hand, an ethical surgeon will refuse to do a procedure if he or she does not feel it is in the patient's best interest.
With reference to your question about surgeon's refraining from making suggestions, this truly depends upon the surgeon's personality. Some surgeons will make multiple suggestions so as to get the most aesthetic result while other surgeons may feel it is inappropriate to talk about other areas not discussed by the patient.

When surgeons recommend procedures, where is the line between what the patient thinks they need and the most aesthetic result?
Many thanks for one of the best questions that I answered on this website.
Yes ,the teachings of PS dictates that he should not tell the patient what he feels about his shape and try to get from the patient what he or she thinks is wrong with the shape.
If he suggests what is wrong and if the patient does not identify its not an ideal situation.
I can only tell what I do to circumvent this. My photographer takes her pictures and though photo animation I and patient reach a conclusion what he or she is looking for.
If this can be achieved I tell him and then tell him what surgical steps will be needed to reach the result.
I am sure most surgeons do it this way, if not they should.
I wish you good luck.

That being said I see a lot of Asian patients here in Seattle and quite commonly perform bridge augmentation along with alarplasty and other tip work if my patient and I concur that it would be helpful and in line with their goals. Not everybody gets the exact same work done in my practice -- it's quite customized.
There is no one "right" aesthetic goal when it comes to rhinoplasty. I do find that preoperative digital morphing is a hugely valuable tool in allowing my patients and I come come to a better understanding of what changes we want to achieve.

Patient desires versus safety and surgeons opinions
Many times as a surgeon I am asked to perform a treatment that I do not feel safe or within my capabilities or in the patient's best interests. This why a comprehensive consultation is necessary, laying all of the facts on the table. After discussing the facts the patient may want to get a second opinion. It is important to go to reputable surgeons so the surgeon is not motivated by money rather than the patient's best interests
The nasal surgery is challenging for a variety of reasons. The results are very obvious even if they are not good. The circulation to the nose is compromised easily and can lead to problems with healing. There is a paucity of soft tissue coverage to camouflage or soften grafts as are commonly used in ethnic nasal surgery. Implanting synthetic material in the nose can lead to difficult infections, etc.
All of this being said, if the patient goes to a reputable surgeon who is experienced in the surgery that fulfills the need perceived by the patient, then the result will be happiness in everyone.

any little "Mom" would love that for their babies...................wonderful job I don't see any problems I think it is great
I think that it is great. I also used some of the same pink frog fabric and made my neice a rag quilt with it.
So pretty and it reminds me of when I was a kid. Cabbage Patch dolls were the "IN" thing and I had to have a quilt for one of mine. My mom threw me together a quilt very similar to that one just with different colors and I still have it all these years later my own chidren and nephews have all enjoyed the doll quilt. Thanks for beinging a happy memory to my mind.
Isn't it fun to make something under pressure and it turns out?
That's really cute and swet of you to do it. :D

Slovenia's National Assembly is set to vote on a proposed ban on all ritual slaughter, which the European Union member country's government recently submitted for approval.
Estonia, meanwhile, has reportedly imposed new restrictions on its already stringent slaughter policy.
Dr. Igor Vojtic, a member of the executive board of Slovenia's Jewish community, told JTA that the proposed ban came in animal welfare amendments which the government adopted last month.
Vojtic said it was not certain that the amendments would pass the national assembly vote, which is expected to take place within six weeks to eight weeks.
The amendments state that animals may not undergo slaughter unless they are previously stunned. Both Islamic and Jewish law require animals to be conscious when their necks are cut.
The Slovenian Ministry of Agriculture has not replied to a letter from the Brussels-based European Jewish Parliament, which called the amendments a danger to freedom of worship in Slovenia, Vojtic said.
According to the Slovenian news site 24ur, the Association of Islamic communities of Slovenia also has protested against the proposed amendment.
Slovenia, which entered the European Union in 2004, has a Jewish population of 400, according to the European Jewish Congress. According to the CIA World Factbook, 2.5 percent of Slovenia's population of two million people is Muslim.
In Estonia, the Ministry of Agriculture has reportedly limited all ritual slaughter to licensed slaughterhouses, in a package of amendments to the Estonian Animal Welfare Act, according to the country's public broadcasting company, ERR.
Even before the amendments, Estonia's policy on ritual slaughter was among the European Union's strictest. Authorities must be notified 10 work days ahead of each planned slaughter and a government inspector oversees each procedure. The animals are stunned after their throats are cut – a procedure known as post-cut stunning, which not all rabbis permit.
In August, the Conference of European Rabbis said that kosher slaughter could come under further attack this year in Europe.
CER President Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt explained that E.U. member countries are required to replace domestic laws on religious slaughter by January 2013 with European Regulation 1099, a set of new regulations meant to ensure animals do not experience "unnecessary suffering" at or near the time of the slaughter.
While the regulations allow exception for religious slaughter, they also allow "a certain level of subsidiarity," or discretion, to each member state.
In 2011, the Dutch parliament voted in favor of a total ban on the slaughter of animals without stunning, but the Dutch Senate scrapped the ban in May 2012.

Camping Checklist: 101
Get Ready To Rough It
Camping is by in large the most popular outdoor activity in America, and upwards of a half a billion Americans go camping in some regard every year. Yet people who are new to camping can be easily discouraged by a lack of proper preparation. It may seem elementary, but a well thought out camping set up is instrumental to a successful camping trip. Naturally the weather can play a big part as well, but that we unfortunately cannot control. Let's outline a simple "car camping" scenario, let's say 50 feet or less from where you packed your vehicle.
Many different reasons could lead you out to this spot to camp. From getting away for the weekend to an extended vacation to even sleeping closer to your morning hunting spot, whatever brings you camping, you'll want to make it comfortable as possible. This checklist basically applies to both established camping and primitive camping, but do yourself and your family a favor and try primitive camping sometime if it is available in your chosen area. National Forests and BLM Land areas offer ample opportunities to camp away from the crowds, and it'll give you the best chance to truly "get away from it all" for a while. Let's start with the common essentials to start, and then move on to extras you may not have thought about that can really improve any camping trip.
Tent Selection
While trailer campers and RVs are a big part of the American camping culture, let's stick to tent camping for this article. We'll be the first to say there is a big difference between a cheap tent you pull off the big box store shelf at the last minute and a Tent you actually research and spend decent money on to camp in comfort. Before you decide to buy something cheap and inferior, ask yourself a few questions. Is this the only time you plan to camp in the next five to ten years? The likely answer is probably not. So why do you keep buying cheap tent brands every time a big camping trip comes up? The zippers snag way too easily, the cheap canvas rips, and worst of all they are a pain to set up with their over-complicated set ups that force you to slide tent poles through long sheathes that always snag. Camping trips are supposed to be enjoyable, but the cheap tent brands seem to have missed that memo when they task you with a frustrating 2-3 hour tent set up time.
Sleeping Bag - Sleeping Pad
Sleeping Bag and sleeping pad. Sleeping bags are rated based upon the minimum temperature they can handle, and a 15 degree sleeping bag is perfect for temperatures 15 degrees and above, although at much warmer temperatures it will naturally become uncomfortable. On warmer nights such as that, most campers will be comfortable sleeping on top of the bag as an alternative. Modern sleeping bags are typically composed of synthetic materials and pack up tight, but as opposed to the tent where you really are much better buying something advanced, you can get away with a cheaper sleeping bag if you only plan to sleep in warmer temperatures. Ask yourself once again how often you plan to camp in the next five years. Likely you'll be much better served to invest in a 30 or 15 degree rated bag with a quality design. Once again, you won't have to worry as much about zippers snagging or the material failing. Bags rated below zero will probably be overkill for car camping situations unless you plan to snow camp or camp at high altitude.
Most beginner campers don't realize that the sleeping pad is just as important as the sleeping bag itself. On colder nights a sleeping pad provides a vital cushion of air between you and the cold ground, and this is usually the difference between shivering all night and sleeping soundly. The other big mistake made with sleeping pads is buying the traditional air mattresses that are really better suited for accommodating extra guests at home. These mattresses seem appealing because they provide a lot of padding between you and the ground, but they almost never hold air properly throughout the night, and they are bulky and a pain to inflate. Once again smaller but more durable camping specific pads are the better option. They pack up small but many are self inflating, and while they provide what seems like less of a cushion, they actually feel more comfortable to sleep on then a constantly leaking and swaying air mattress. Today many companies even bundle their sleeping bags and pads together in an all-in-one solution.
Other Camping Amenities
A tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad is all you really need to camp. But ideally you want to make your campsite feel like home, and there's a lot more to add to your kit to make things more comfortable. Extra water is the number one asset you'll always need no matter what. Even if you're camping at an established campground, be sure to invest in a couple water containers (20 gallon or more) and fill them up once you arrive at the site. Things can get tense if water runs low, and water containers are a very cheap investment that will always pay off. If you plan on camping near a reliable water source, you can also explore water filtration options like two bladder systems, water filtration pens, or even products like Lifestraw. Remember, even if you're camping somewhere established, plan for the uncertain and be ready to seek a back up water source, even if it is only for the night.
Camping chairs are also a must, but they are pretty self explanatory. If you plan on having a bigger group, a pop up tent and a couple folding tables are always a hit for food preparation as well as cards later. Of course don't forget about illumination options like Headlamps and lanterns. A decent cooler that is proven to hold ice for several days is also a wise investment, but always avoid cheap Styrofoam coolers absolutely and skip fabric coolers if you're going on an extended trip. A reliable Knife and extra cordage will always come in handy, and never skimp on the first aid kit. Self assembled first aid kits are the best because you know you filled them with items you can trust, but many professional kits will work fine as long as they aren't overly cheap or small.
Always Be Prepared
We could go on and on about what is necessary to bring along, but let's finish up with a basic checklist of items that could come in handy on any trip. Just remember to prepare for just about anything. When the rain hits or spirits dampen, the fact that you went the extra mile will save the day and show friends and family that camping really can be a blast. Don't forget to pull out the ingredients for s'mores once the sun sets either.
Basic Checklist:
- Quality Tent 4 – 6 person capacity for car camping
- Warm sleeping bags for all occupants, generally 15 – 30 degree rated is a good guideline
- Sleeping pads to match each bag, wider pads are more pleasant to sleep on as you won't roll off as easily
- Water jugs and alternative filtration methods
- Several lighting options including headlamps, lanterns, and flashlights
- Coolers proven to hold ice for 2 – 3 days effectively
- Pop up tent, or alternatively extra tarps and cordage
- Fold up tables
- Camping chairs
- Sharp, reliable knife
- Bug repellent and sunscreen
- Several camping chairs for your guests
- Complete first aid kit
- Sun hats and sunglasses
- Camp stove or fire grate for cooking (a fire pan can be a great environmentally friendly alternative
- Camp cookware and biodegradable soap to clean it with
- Finally, and most importantly, your spirit of adventure and love of the outdoors

The Financial Markets Authority has contacted sharemarket operator NZX over a blunder on Friday that resulted in some investors selling shares in Lyttelton Port when they were unaware of a higher takeover price.
Details of council-owned Christchurch City Holdings' $3.95 a share takeover offer for the Canterbury port were buried in a substantial security holder (SSH) notice published by Lyttelton Port shareholder Port Otago at 2.24pm.
More than 42,000 shares, worth $147,592, were sold in 13 trades at $3.30 a share to $3.59 a share in the period between the SSH notice's publication and a trading halt being placed on the stock at 2.57pm. Lyttelton Port shares closed up 24 per cent on Friday at $4.10.
Trading is usually halted in a target stock before details of a takeover are announced.
The NZX has received a number of requests to cancel the trades made between 2.24pm and 2.57pm, but the exchange operator has said they could not be reversed because an error, as defined by the participant rules, had not occurred.
An FMA spokesman said the regulator had been "actively engaged in ongoing discussions with NZX about trading in LPC [Lyttelton Port]".
He was unable to make any further comment on the matter.
Former Northland Port Corporation chairman Mike Daniel, whose family trust owns 500,000 Lyttelton Port shares, has said 5000 of his shares in the port company were sold before trading was halted and he wanted the trades cancelled.
"It leaves a dirty taste in your mouth," he said this week.
Daniel's lawyer, Chapman Tripp partner Roger Wallis, has sent a letter to NZX that argues that the exchange operator does have the power to reverse the trades.
The letter goes on to formally request that the trades between 2.24pm and 2.57pm be cancelled.
The NZX yesterday reiterated its statement that it did not intend to reverse the trades.
"We do not believe there was any breach of NZX's participant rules," the exchange operator said. "As NZX's investigation is ongoing, further action may be taken if evidence of a breach of NZX rules is identified. NZX remains in dialogue with the market participants to further understand and if required reach a satisfactory resolution regarding these trades."
NZX said all information in relation to Lyttelton Port was available to all market participants and investors at the same time on Friday.

At last! My very own book about my own favorite food: chicken.
This has been a busy year for the Global Gourmet. I wrote three books, all coming out before the end of 2003. Macho Nachos: 50 Toppings, Salsas, and Spreads for Irresistible Snacks and Light Meals (Clarkson Potter) and Harvesting the Dream: The Rags-to-Riches Tale of the Sutter Home Winery (a business strategy book for John Wiley & Sons) will be available in late December 2003.
But the first book to hit the shelves is available now: A Chicken in Every Pot: Global Recipes for the World's Most Popular Bird (Capital Books, October 2003). In it, I present 150 international and original recipes that are easy and thrifty but don't seem so, at least when it comes to flavor. The recipes are adaptable to various cuts of chicken, and they can be made by anyone with average cooking skills—even novices. Along the way, sidebars pepper the chapters with "FlavorPrints"—blueprints for world cuisines—and other tips, trivia and tidbits.
Many cooks today have no idea how to cook a whole chicken, let alone cut one up. So the book covers these topics but also includes recipes for cooking chicken parts (particularly those economical jumbo packs) and adapting recipes to other cuts of the bird. Rest assured, whatever chicken parts go on sale, you'll find a recipe here that makes them taste like a million bucks—or franks, pesos, yen, or Euros.
Together, Thomas Way (Global Gourmet publisher) and I performed the food styling and photography, and I can assure you that the photos in the book truly reflect the way the final dishes look. We used nothing artificial to enhance them, as is often the case with food styling. And to tempt you into buying A Chicken in Every Pot, I've included sample recipes and photos below.
If you're like me, A Chicken in Every Pot will have you clucking with joy. I wrote the book because, like so many of my readers, I'm always looking for new and inspiring ways to cook chicken, and this book has 150 of them. It's the sort of book that you'll want to keep handy, ready to flip through to find that quick and easy weeknight meal or something festive for entertaining. It also makes a superb gift for both novice and experienced cooks, at birthdays, holidays, and just for fun.
"A Chicken in Every Pot belongs in every kitchen! This cook's tour of international chicken dishes offers innovative recipes and cooking tips galore. I love Kate's FlavorPrints, scattered throughout the book, with insights into the ingredients, seasonings, and techniques that give each cuisine its distinguishing character. With these globe-trotting recipes, I could enjoy a pot of chicken every night."
—James McNair, author of bestselling Chicken and thirty-nine other cookbook titles
"Add this book to your cooking library! As editor of Global Gourmet, Kate Heyhoe has a broad knowledge of the world's best cuisines. In this book, Kate takes us around the world, tempting our taste buds with exotic flavors. This complete guide ensures there will be a tender, tasty chicken in everyone's pot."

Down memory lane with Dean Hacker
Our water heater shut down the other day and of course it happened on a Sunday. Why is it that it seems that when you need a plumber or a doctor or another professional in a semi-emergency moment that it always seems to happen on a Sunday? Not so sure why that is or if we're the only people that this happens to.
Anyway, I am glad our water heater went out! It gave me a chance to talk with Rick, who works for D&D Plumbing in Brainerd. I knew that his boss, Dean Hacker, had some health problems earlier this fall and I had not heard much after that. So when I asked Rick how Dean was doing, it came as a sad shock. He told me that Dean was in hospice and my heart immediately sank! I got on the phone right away to schedule a time to come see Dean. Candy picked up the phone and after a short chat, she said I could come over anytime the next day.
It was noon on Tuesday (Jan. 22) when I pulled up at their home and for the next 1.5 hours we all chatted. The living room where Dean was situated in his hospital bed was surrounded by "stuff" (like Dean put it). This stuff that I am talking about included two huge bull elk, a number of serious trophy whitetails, a musky or two and probably some other "stuff"!
Dean is an avid outdoorsman and for the past 40 years he had caught a lot of fish, shot a number of beautiful animals and spent a lot of time with friends and family out in the wild.
I fished with Dean and Candy on Lake X, I was also guiding them on Lake Bemidji when Candy caught a big musky. We also chatted about winter fishing on Gull Lake, where Dean and Candy had been fixtures on "the corner" since I first started ice fishing Gull Lake over 20 plus years ago.
I remember my neighbor back then, Lonnie Liebel, telling me about Deano. I had my spot, they had their spot and Lonnie had his and we liked it just like that!
There was the other time on the Whitefish Chain where we ended up seeking shelter at the Wharf because of a wicked thunderstorm. Oh, and I almost forgot about the "yellow T-shirt" over on Mille Lacs where Dean put us to school on the walleyes a number of summers ago!
These two (Dean and Candy) are dedicated outdoors people that take their sports seriously. I didn't know until Tuesday that Dean had won the "International" this year on Gull Lake. Dean and Candy were quite involved in the Northerns Inc. Chapter here in Brainerd and the International is the granddaddy of all northern tournaments. Dean won it this year and he told me that it was only because someone upstairs wanted him to win. Now isn't that the truth!
So, back to that "stuff", it's just that! We all have stuff and when it comes down to life and death the stuff doesn't matter, it's the final destination that does!
Love you Deano and Candy, Walleyedan.

I would start with any crime that involved the use of a firearm would be a life sentence. No three strikes... you use a gun when committing a crime and that is strike three. Watch how much better that would work than any gun control law at stopping gun violence.

My strategy for producing non-AHB queens in AHB territory.
1) Start with Cordovan Italian queens, where all their offspring, both workers and drones are Cordovan. Since the Cordovan trait is recessive, this indicates purity, that there are only Cordovan genes - a starting point.
2) Saturate the mating area with Cordovan drones from as many different Cordovan queens as practical - to help reduce loss of fertility. Cordovan drones can be produced by Cordovan queens, even if these Cordovan drone mothers have been open mated with other than Cordovan drones. It is easy to determine if a drone carries the Cordovan gene - it will exhibit Cordovan coloration - drones are haploid and the Cordovan trait cannot be masked.
3) Produce virgin queens from the best Cordovan queen mothers. Keeping only those that exhibit the Cordovan color trait and meet all other visible criteria of outstanding queens.
4) Mate the virgin queens in the Cordovan drone saturated mating area.
5) Wait to see if the mated queens produce Cordovan workers. If they do, then you know that they mated with, at least, one Cordovan drone. If their workers are normal colored they can still be used for honey production -- drone mothers, etc. But not as queen mothers, unless some of their workers are Cordovan, in that case you can take your chances that some queens will be Cordovan too, though this could waste much time and resources.
► If queens that demonstrate the Cordovan trait prove to be mated with other than Cordovan drones, by some or all of their workers being normal colored, their drone fathers could possibly be from an AHB source.
►Cordovan queens that produce normal colored workers, should not be allowed to produce normal colored queens. Those queens could potentially carry AHB genetics.
►If drones are Cordovan colored, in this scenario, they will not be carrying AHB genetics.

Just added a 2007 BMW 130i M Sport to run along side the Cayman and am so far VERY impressed. Obviously the dynamics of the Cayman have spoiled me over the last year so the Baby BM had a tough crowd, but it has totally won me over in a short time-frame.
The engine. Whist the six in the Cayman S is a snorting stalion with rough unrefined edges (which is the appeal right?) this straight six is like licking caramel off a warm spoon. It delivers the power so effortlessly and pulls very low in the rev range yet you can jump on the gas in second and have all the back-end laughs you like. The Cayman is certainly gonna see less miles which isn't a bad thing.
I managed a deal which means I'm ditching the run-flats next week for some proper Conti's and look forward to seeing the inevitable improvement in ride. The M Sport is a little firm on the run-flats but not as bad as I had been led to believe. I also got the dealer to re-spray the walnut trim in piano black finish and am very happy with results against the cream leather and black exterior. I'll try and get some photos up.
Had plenty of Audi's in the past, this being the first Beemer I am really struck with the tech and the driving position as two of the most obvious things I must say. I love the two stage DTC function for different levels of daring. The seats are sublime in their support and function. Tech wise I find that BMWs anti-hill-roll control is far less intrusive than Audi's which I could also noticably feel engaging and disengaging. The cars fully loaded with all the cruise, auto wiper and light options etc and again these function in a predictable fashion which I know the other half will get to grips with quickly and not just ignore. It's returning 25.9MPG which is also surprising for straight six un der my foot.
I got what I consider to be an amazing deal.
2007 (facelift gen 2) BMW 130i - M Sport with nearly all boxes ticked - 16,560 miles on the clock and four new tyres.
£14,500 or $ 23,200 - chuffed!!

Why I'm Rooting for Baylor and Against the BCS
Here's a big cheer for the undefeated Baylor Bears going into their prime-time football showdown Saturday against Oklahoma State.
I have doubts about Baptist-run institutions, like Baylor, being able to keep up in today's competitive academic environment. And the university's president, Kenneth Starr, an admirable man, was a disaster as a special counsel prosecuting President Bill Clinton for lying about his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
Still, the reason to root for Baylor is to ensure that the corrupt college-sanctioned Bowl Championship Series ends in the ignominy it so richly deserves. The BCS system determines a national championship game based on a convoluted computer system. This is its last year.
There are four undefeated football teams at the highest level of NCAA competition. Florida State and Ohio State are likely to remain so; if Baylor wins Saturday and the defending champion, Alabama, defeats Auburn a week later, two high powered teams with perfect records will be denied a chance to play for the national championship.
That situation will further expose the fraudulence of the BCS system. A system of which the real rationale always has been to preserve more money-making bowl games for more teams.
After intense public pressure for a more equitable solution, college football finally relented and starting next season there will be a four-team playoff to determine the national championship. Ultimately, that will likely expand to eight teams.
Big time college football is driven by one overriding consideration, money and its attendant hypocrisy. Five years ago when President-elect Barack Obama called for a playoff system to determine the national championship, John Swofford, the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference, snidely replied: "Our constituencies -- and I know he understands constituencies -- have settled on the current BCS system, which a majority believe is the best system yet to determine a national champion." A missing element to those constituencies was the fans who favored a playoff.
Swofford and others also suggested a playoff, with extra games, would impede academics -- rarely a concern of big time football honchos. Playoff games would be held during winter breaks for schools, most of whom have already added regular season games during the academic year.
My close friend, the late columnist Bob Novak, loved, and often wagered, on college football games. He was pretty good except when he was driven by ideology, usually preferring the team from the most right-wing state. A better way is to root against the BCS format; this is the last chance.

And The Oscar Goes To... Online Film Trailers!
by Mallory Russell on Feb 28, 12:42 PM
When the red carpet is rolled out in Hollywood this weekend, all eyes will be on the powerful films nominated for best picture. The media buzz around these films and the actors that anchor them are also driving a notable response online -- from views of online video trailers to tweets and Facebook interactions.

Mobile Videos Stall Out
by Daisy Whitney on Feb 27, 2:38 PM
Mobile video is growing so fast it's slated to account for 69% of global mobile data traffic in the next four years, but many mobile videos simply don't work, which is bad news for advertisers. Marketers are investing ad dollars in mobile video, but according to a handful of fresh reports, mobile networks aren't handling the capacity as well as they could.

Subscription Vs. Free: The Future of Short-Form Vs. Long-Form Video
by Eric Korsh on Feb 26, 2:50 PM
Many people, myself included, have spent time thinking and writing about the differences between native digital content creators and TV/traditional content creators. In general, we frame our thinking against the backdrop of an incredibly fast-moving digital landscape: new distribution models, connected and smart TV, consumption habits in mobile, net neutrality issues, MSO vs. velecom vs. OTT vs. Xbox -- the list is endless. I would argue that there's another way to look at content creators through the lens of current marketplace trends -- one that doesn't rely on old constructs. If you look at what might be characterized as subscription ...

In Wake Of Comcast/TWC Merger, What Does John Malone Do Now?
by Bill Niemeyer on Feb 25, 12:51 PM
When Comcast and Time Warner Cable recently announced their big merger, one of the first questions on my mind (and I'm sure on yours, as well) was "How does this impact John Malone, and what does he do now?" Malone, after all, was the main catalyst for this merger. Remember, Charter Communications was the first to try and buy TWC (Malone's Liberty Media acquired a 27% interest in Charter in May 2013), which no doubt ultimately spurred Comcast to make its move.

'House Of Cards' And A Reminder Of Spoiler Etiquette
by Rob Kurfehs on Feb 24, 12:11 PM
Valentine's Day 2014 saw the premiere of season 2 of the seminal Netflix series "House of Cards." The first streaming-only "TV" show to win both major Emmy and Golden Globe awards holds special importance in introducing a level of prestige to the medium. It's an important milestone in the behavioral shift from traditional TV viewing to binge-watching streaming content.

The Year Of Sports Video
by Rich Routman on Feb 19, 12:37 PM
Once every four years, it arrives: the Year of Sports Video. A year when the Super Bowl, World Cup and the Olympics all fall in the first seven months of the year. These tentpole sports video events, while each considered iconic on its own, share the 2014 main stage and may in some cases share budgets, given both timing and resource alignment.

What Comes After Video Viewability?
by Todd Pasternack on Feb 16, 5:50 PM
At some point early this year, the MRC and IAB will announce a standard for in-stream video viewability, defining an ad as "viewable" if it is 50% within view for more than two seconds. It may not be a perfect standard, but it's a good start. Now, every publisher, ad server and vendor has the blueprint to offer an in-stream video viewability measure. There are no more excuses. Yet viewability is still in its infancy, especially when it comes to in-stream video. Now that everyone can begin reporting on viewability, what comes next?

Mobile Video To Grow 14 Times By 2018
by Daisy Whitney on Feb 14, 12:08 PM
Marketers, you do have a mobile video strategy, right? If not, consider this your notice. Cisco said in its latest Internet traffic report that mobile video traffic will grow 14 times by 2018, when it will comprise 69% of global mobile data traffic, up from about half last year.

The Middle Distance 06/14/13: When the Lights Come Up
By Leeds Mallinckrodt-Reese On June 14, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In A Big Something, Kathryn Eastburn, Personal Essay, The Middle Distance
The Middle Distance 6.14.13: When the Lights Come Up
For the last six weeks, I've been taking a crash course in documentary filmmaking. I thought I'd be learning some technical terminology, a little technique, and a bit about how funding, marketing and distribution happens around nonfiction films.
I did learn these things, but I also learned that as consumers of media in the U.S., we need to demand availability of these films where they can readily and easily be seen by general audiences as traditional journalism wanes.
I also learned that Colorado can lay claim to two of the best documentary filmmakers currently working in the medium.
Our class was lucky enough to have a Colorado Springs native, returned home to be with family, teaching our class. Tom Shepard grew up in the Old North End of the Springs, attended North Junior High and Palmer High School, and keeps close touch with his roots though he has lived in the Bay Area of California for many years since attending college at Stanford.
In his 18 years as a filmmaker, Shepard has explored contemporary issues that continue to resonate over time. His first film, Scout's Honor, took the 2001 Sundance Audience Award and is still in active circulation on public television and in educational settings because of the pertinence and timeliness of its subject: Boy Scouts of America's policy of excluding gay boys and men from scouting and leadership. Listening to the polarized national reporting on the issue in recent weeks, I wished Tom's thoughtful treatment of the legality, ethics, and profound human impact of discrimination based on sexual orientation could guide the discussion somehow.
Shepard went on to make Knocking, an exploration of the role Jehovah's Witnesses have played in legal battles for free speech in America and their historic role as witnesses to the holocaust in Nazi Germany. His film Whiz Kids follows the coming-of-age of a group of competitors in the nation's most prestigious high school science competition, and how their love of learning and mastering science guides their lives. Most recently, Tom co-produced and edited The Grove, a look at the National AIDS Memorial Grove, a 7-acre sanctuary in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park honoring the lives of Americans lost to AIDS and those who, because of societal attitudes, were often forced to grieve their loved ones silently. As efforts to bring wider national recognition to The Grove ensue in the film, disagreement breaks out over how this national memorial should function, and how to truly honor the dead.
These films, and others we watched over the course of our six-week class, did what the best journalism does. They invited us to question our assumptions and consider the many sides of a complicated societal problem. They dared us to not be complacent about what we don't understand.
One week, we watched a film by another filmmaker with Colorado Springs ties, Daniel Junge, a Colorado College graduate whose short documentary Saving Face won the Academy Award in 2012. Junge's first film, Chiefs, about a high school basketball championship in his native Wyoming, won Best Feature Documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2002, and subsequent films covered the first woman elected President of Liberia, the killing of a 73-year old Catholic nun in Brazil, and the campaign of Washington Governor Booth Gardner to enact state legislation allowing assisted suicide. With Saving Face, Junge brought to light the brutally injured and disfigured women survivors of acid attacks in Pakistan, and a plastic surgeon dedicated to helping restore their health and dignity. In the course of the making of this 40-minute film, a law is passed by Pakistan's national legislative body to criminalize acid attacks and inflict stiff prison sentences on those convicted.
Our class Skyped with Junge from his Denver home after watching his film. He cited a "robust film studies" program at CC as an early inspiration, and remembered with obvious reverence his mentor at NYU film school, George Stoney. Stoney, who died recently at age 96, is revered for asking essential questions about the value of documentary, questions obviously embraced by both Shepard and Junge:
What will the audience do [when the lights come up]? Will they be more bitter, more stuck, more true to the ideas and assumptions they had when they walked in? Or will they be a little more willing to look around and see who they laughed with over the past 90 minutes? Will they be able to have more compassion for the other? Will they be able to sit with their discomfort? (from "As Thoughts of George Rise Up: Judith Helfland on Long-Time Mentor George Stoney," www.pbs.org)
Out here in the curious middle distance, where it sometimes looks as if no one can see anyone else, that is a welcome challenge.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Anniversaries are kind of dumb, even if it's the anniversary of an album that supposedly changed music forever. As you've probably heard, The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band came out 40 years ago this weekend; it's a completely arbitrary moment, except in a kind of "boy, 40 sure is old" sense, and honestly I've never really listened to the album all the way through (I prefer Revolver, and I'm more of a Stones man anyway). But it does provide an excuse for digging through the hard drive for some amusing mashups featuring tracks from Sgt. Peppers.
Go Home Productions - "Nightbeatle," "Karma in the Life"
It would be silly to start a Beatles mashup thread without first mentioning Go Home Productions. I've often called GHP (otherwise known as Mark Vidler) "The Metallica of Bootleggers" since he both defines and transcends the genre. Part of the reason is that he's chosen canonical music to recontextualize, and indeed, some of his best work has utilized the Fab Four. First check out a newer track, "Nightbeatle," which somehow manages to fold the robotic antics of Daft Punk into "When I'm Sixty-Four," and then grab the classic "Karma in the Life," which combines the ominous piano chords from Radiohead's "Karma Police" with the vocals from "A Day In the Life" to create a haunting and atmospheric tribute.
MP3: "Nightbeatle," "Karma in the Life"
DJ BC - "Root Down Reprise"
Boston's BC took what could have easily been a poor imitation of Danger Mouse's "Grey Album" concept and through sheer chutzpah (and fantastic production skills) came up with two bootleg albums worth of quality tracks. This mashup uses the "Reprise" of the Beatles' title track and a now-classic Beastie Boys a capella; understandably, BC had to take down the mp3s, but it's worth it to do some spelunking around the interwebs to find the rest of his Beastles tracks.
MP3: "Root Down Reprise"
Team9 - "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" (Team9 remix)
Australian producer Team9 is known for making some of the most affecting and surprising mashups of the last few years, but one gets the sense he's more interested in the straightforward remix, which gives him a chance to create his own beats and harmonies alongside the originals. Here he takes the most notoriously "psychedelic" track from Sgt. Pepper's and gives it a bit of a trip-hop style rerub, retaining both the song's accessibility and its trippiness.
Jimmi Jammes - "Sgt. Pepper's Paradise"
This extended mix still manages to somehow raise the "hands in the air" quotient of two of the biggest "hands in the air" songs ever. A quick look at his profile on Last.fm shows it's his most popular mashup ever, and understandably so.
And finally: okay, this isn't a mashup, and it doesn't really have anything to do with Sgt. Pepper's specifically, but it's super cute nonetheless: The Powerpuff Girls' "Meet the Beat Alls". Happy anniversary, album!

Customer Reviews
Organic Insect Control
I used this product last growing season and am very happy with the protection provided. In my area there is a heavy flea bettle poulation that had previously destroyed all of my attempts to grow eggplants. I used the row cover to protect the plants until flowers formed. The flea bettles still attacked after removal of the cover but the plants were established well enough to still produce great. I do however recommend some form of support for the cover I experienced some seedling crushing when used alone. I used tomato cages with clothes pins for my eggplants.
Frost Protection
With our North Dakota early frost ocurring late summer/early fall, this has saved our tomatoes for two different seasons. It needed to be replaced so am ordering another cover.
Best stuff ever made
This material will Protect the plants, protect from insects, wind,frost( a little). seedling grown under this will grow at twice the rate of unprotected plants
"We live in sunny, hot, Arizona. Row cover fabric is GREAT for protecting tomatoes from sun scald and for seedlings... when the hot sun and dry wind often kill baby plants. Simply cut enough fabric to keep it propped above the seedling a few inches (like a roof) using ice cream or bamboo sticks. Tuck the fabric ends under bricks or rocks to keep it from blowing away. Check and adjust height as needed. The fabric will protect the seedlings, keeping the soil moist and cooler, and prevents pesky birds from eating them. To protect tomatoes from sun scald, use fabric just as you would shade cloth, or attach fabric to chicken wire fencing to form a sturdy white ""roof"" or ""umbrella"" that can be stapled to wood posts (cheap furring strips work well). A TRULY GREAT MULTIPURPOSE PRODUCT!!! "
Excellent season extender!
I bought floating row cover as soon as I decided to plant veggies and berries this season. We're in a zone 6 with less than 3 months Frost-Free. It's the third week of May, and I've already planted strawberries, tomatoes, lettuces, carrots, onions, and even sweet corn. The floating row cover material kept everything snuggly and safe, even when our night-time temps dipped into the high 20s a couple of times last week. Also works great for keeping harmful insects and birds out of the edibles. And although we haven't had one yet this year, we're prone to sudden hailstorms here. I'm hopeful that my floating row cover material may even help protect my plants from any major damage from hail. An excellent product!
