Welcome Summer with Strawberry Pie
By Dana Jacobi
for the American Institute for Cancer Research
Will we ever accept fruit for dessert as contentedly as Europeans do? In Italy, where a bowl of fruit usually sits on the dining room table or nearby, I am content reaching for a juicy pear or an orange after dinner. Sitting and sharing conversation while everyone peels their selection and eats it leisurely is probably part of the satisfaction. Perhaps this supports findings that socializing at mealtime contributes to well being as much as serving healthy food.
Returning home, though, I find myself quickly craving desserts that are somehow an occasion. It could be something simple, like a sliced orange sprinkled with candied ginger or cantaloupe slices drizzled with blueberry syrup made from jam warmed with apple juice. It may be due to the often disappointing taste of commercially grown fruit, but I need an embellishment, something extra, that little Martha touch, to be satisfied.
Local strawberries are in season now, joining the usual abundance of giant, glowing fruit from California or Florida. After a friend reminded me of the strawberry socials our grandparents enjoyed, and the luscious shortcake both our mothers served, a buttery biscuit soaking up the juice of halved berries, I resolved to use fresh berries in an equally seductive strawberry delight.
Spotting a whole-wheat graham cracker piecrust at the natural food store, I also reached for cream cheese and sour cream—reduced fat, of course, and a jar of strawberry fruit spread. Lining the crust with a blend of the cheese and cream, I then tossed fresh strawberries with melted fruit spread and heaped them into the pie shell, creating this jewel-bright, blissful result.
Strawberry and Cheese Refrigerator Pie
- 1 (9-inch) prepared graham cracker piecrust, preferably whole-wheat
- 4 oz. reduced-fat cream cheese
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 Tbsp. extra-fine sugar
- 1 tsp. grated lemon zest
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 lb. strawberries
- 1/2 cup strawberry fruit spread
- 1 tsp. lemon juice, optional
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place crust on baking sheet and bake for 8 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Transfer to wire rack and cool completely. This can be done 8 hours ahead.
Place cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla in small bowl. Blend until combined and smooth, using hand mixer on medium speed or wooden spoon. Spread cheese mixture evenly over bottom of piecrust. Refrigerate until set, 1 to 2 hours.
Just before serving, cut off tops of strawberries. Halve largest, prettiest ones and place in bowl. Cut remaining berries lengthwise in quarters and place in another bowl. Melt fruit spread in bowl in microwave, or in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring often. Mix in lemon juice, if using, and divide hot fruit spread between two bowls of berries. Using fork, toss until fruit is coated and glistening.
Spoon quartered fruit into the center of pie over cheese, turning most pieces cut side down as you spread them out. Arrange larger halves in circle around edge of pie, with flat side facing rim of crust and points toward the center of the pie. Spoon on any fruit spread remaining in bowls to fill in open spaces. Serve pie within 1 hour.
Makes 8 servings.

Miranda-Viloria in the works?
By Gabriel F. Cordero
There is a possibility that Julio Cesar "Pingo" Miranda could defend the WBO flyweight title against Brian Viloria on June 4 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Sources indicate that Zanfer is interested in placing this fight on the card headlined by Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. against Sebastian Zbik for the WBC middleweight title. For Miranda, it would be his fourth defense and and also take care of his mandatory obligations. "Pingo" is currently training in Veracruz, Mexico but is expected to return to Monterrey to continue his training.

Human milk bank
A human milk bank or breast milk bank is a service which collects, screens, processes, and dispenses by prescription human milk donated by nursing mothers who are not biologically related to the recipient infant. The optimum nutrition for newborn infants is breastfeeding, if possible, for the first year.[1] Human milk banks offer a solution to the mothers that cannot supply their own breast milk to their child, for reasons such as a baby being at risk of getting diseases and infections from a mother with certain diseases,[2] or when a child is hospitalized at birth due to very low birth weight (and thus at risk for conditions such as necrotizing enterocolitis), and the mother cannot provide her own milk during the extended stay for reasons such as living far from the hospital.[3]
Human milk banks had an increase in the amount of milk collected in 2012 compared to 2007, in addition the amount of milk donated by each donor had also increased.[4] Mothers' Milk Bank (MMB) says, this service provides mothers with an alternative to infant formula and allows the mother to give their newborn the nutrition it needs for healthy growth.[5] The International Milk Banking Initiative (IMBI), was founded at the International HMBANA Congress in 2005. It lists 33 countries with milk bank programs.[6] The World Health Organisation (WHO) states that the first alternative to a biological mother not being able to breast feed is the use of human milk from other sources.[7]
Donor RequirementEdit
A donor must:
- Be healthy
- Be in the process of lactation
- Undertake a chest x-ray or Tyne test
- Have a negative VDRL
- Have no evidence of hepatitis
- Be HIV negative
- Preferably be female
More requirements may apply. For example, the requirements in Australia can be found at: http://jhl.sagepub.com/content/2/1/20.full.pdf
Some concerns that surround human milk bank include:
- Cost
- Availability
- Lack of health care provider interest
- Concern about the type of women who might donate [8]
After the milk has been donated the primary consumer of the milk are premature babies; other consumers include adults with medical complications or conditions. The main reason why premature babies consume donor milk is that the mother cannot provide milk for the baby. The donor milk therefore acts as a substitute.[9]
Health benefits of human milk bankEdit
Human milk banks offer families a chance to provide their child with reliable and healthy milk from other mothers. Human milk banks are needed as they offer milk which mostly is consumed by children whose mothers are not able to provide them with reliable milk. [10]
Brazil has an extensive network of 210 milk banks. In 2011, 165,000 litres (5,580,000 fl oz US) of breast milk were donated by some 166,000 mothers, and provided to nearly 170,000 babies. The Brazilian and Ibero-American Network of Human Milk Banks coordinates these efforts. Donors must be healthy and not taking any medication. The Brazil effort is part of an effort that has reduced infant mortality in the country by 73% since the 1990s.[11]
There are 203 active human milk banks in Europe, with 13 more planned as of 2014, according to the European Milk Bank Association (EMBA).[12]
Latin America, Spain, Portugal and Cape Verde IslandsEdit
The Brazilian program has been spread to countries in South America and to Spain, Portugal and the Cape Verde Islands.[11]
North AmericaEdit
The Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA) has a "Guidelines for the Establishment and Operation of a Donor Human Milk Bank" [13] that establishes exhaustive guidelines for safe milk collection and usage in North America. There are 16 milk banks in North America as of 2014. They collect about 3,000,000 oz per year as of 2013.
South AfricaEdit
South Africa has a breast milk collection and distribution program, Milk Matters, based in Cape Town.[14]
As of 2014 Australia has a total of 5 Human Milk Banks in operation:
- PREM bank (based at King Edward Memorial Hospital, WA and also supplying Princess Margaret Hospital);
- Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital neonatal intensive care unit (NSW);
- Mothers Milk Bank Pty Ltd (a private charity, previously located on the Gold Coast, now at Tweed Heads NSW and supplying the Brisbane Mater Children's Hospital as well as some babies in the community);
- Mercy Health Breastmilk Bank (commenced 2011 at Mercy Hospital for Women, Heidelberg VIC); and
- Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH) Milk bank (commenced November 2012 at the RBWH Grantley Stable Neonatal Unit).[15]

Would those holsters be considered open carry or concealed carry?
The Sneaky Pete hidden in plain sight holsters are now available in ballistic nylon in addition to leather. They have been saying that they were going to make the nylon ones available through dealers, but they are now available on their web site for purchase directly from Sneaky Pete.
I just discovered this on Thanksgiving day. Also, it looks like they've lowered their price on the leather ones by $5.00, now $49.95.
Would those holsters be considered open carry or concealed carry?
If you can't see the gun it is concealed.

Im not so sure about carrying in one of those. I know those who have them like them, but they seem a bit bulky to me. I'd like to see one in person before ordering one.

Now that they have one that fits the Ruger LC9, and in nylon, I'm thinking on it. I have carried both my LC9 and Taurus 851 in a nylon camera case that fits either. With the intro of smart phones and GPS just about everyone is wearing something on their belt.
Also noticed they make one for the Taurus 740 slim. Need to do some measuring, as this MIGHT fit my 851.
My big beef is they all have that 'SP' stuck on the side.

Don't like the SP on the front lap...screams gun for those that know. Also the design, to me, says, "I'm carrying."
Another issue, it appears that a draw from SP would be a little awkward. It doesn't appear that one has much room in getting their hand on the gun for a smooth draw.
This is the image used for a Glock...not sure that is a proper representation of a Glock.
Image for a PT is appears to be even more difficult for a smooth draw.

I've been on the fence about this one. I agree, it looks like the pistol might be a little difficult to extract, especially under pressure. I don't think my PT-145 would be a candidate, but possibly the LCP.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- A new era has dawned in Ivy League women's soccer.
The format for the League's postseason awards has changed, with the coaches now voting on Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year.
The future is bright for Harvard freshman Midge Purce (Olney, Md.), who certainly did not play like a rookie. Purce led her team to a 7-0-0 Ivy record with 11 goals and 26 points, both team-highs and tied for the best in the League.
Purce started the season slowly, with one goal in her first four games. She then posted 10 goals and four assists over the next 12 games, including four multi-point contests. In League play, Purce recorded five goals and three assists to lead her team to its first Ivy title since 2011 and its first 7-0-0 campaign since 1999.
Purce is the first rookie to earn a Player of the Year award in League history. She becomes the first Crimson since Melanie Baskind in 2008 to be named Rookie of the Year and Harvard's first Player of the Year since Baskind in 2011. Purce was also a unanimous decision for first-team All-Ivy forward, the first Crimson freshman to make the first team since Katherine Sheeleigh in 2007.
The first-ever Ivy League women's soccer Defensive Player of the Year award went to Penn sophomore defender Caroline Dwyer (Exton, Pa.). Dwyer was a crucial figure on a defense that gave up just eight goals in 17 games for a sparkling 0.44 goals against average, while shutting out 12 opponents.
Dwyer started all 17 games, tallying one assist from her defensive position. But it wasn't her offense that helped her earn this award. She and the rest of Penn's defense opened the season with five-straight clean sheets and then later in the season shut out six-consecutive opponents. Dwyer is the first Quaker to take home a postseason award since Kerry Scalora was named Rookie of the Year in 2010, and Penn's first Player of the Year since Katy Cross in 2002. Dwyer was also voted a first-team defender, the first All-Ivy honor of her career.
Joining Purce on the first team was senior defender Peyton Johnson (Catonsville, Md.) and sophomore midfielder Haley Washburn (Folsom, Calif.).
Johnson was a unanimous selection, earning her third All-Ivy honor and second first team selection. She finished tied for third in the League with six assists, while also scoring a goal. Her lone score on the year came at an opportune time, as it was the gamewinner against Dartmouth that clinched the Ivy League title for the Crimson. Washburn, who earned second-team All-Ivy accolades in 2012, tallied a goal and an assist on the year. She was also a part of a defense that shut out six teams and posted a 0.80 goals against average.
Penn also placed three on the first team, with sophomore midfielder Erin Mikolai (Quakertown, Pa.) and fellow classmate and goalie Kalijah Terilli (Bronx, N.Y.) earning their first career All-Ivy accolades. Mikolai posted eight points on two goals and four assists, setting career-highs in points and assists. Terilli was stellar between the pipes, finishing the season 10-1-3 with nine shutouts and a 0.47 goals against average. She ranks second in the League and ninth in the country in GAA.
Dartmouth placed two on the first team for the second-straight season in sophomore midfielder Corey Delaney (Chatham, N.J.) and senior forward Emma Brush (Grosse Pointe Park, Mich.). Delaney, last year's unanimous Rookie of the Year, was named to the first team for the second time after a season in which she posted 15 points on five goals and five assists, setting personal-bests in points and goals and matching her career-high in assists. Brush takes home her third All-Ivy honor and second first team after leading the team in points (17) and goals (six) and tying for first in assists (five).
Yale junior defender Meredith Speck (Rockville Centre, N.Y.) and fellow classmate forward Melissa Gavin (Duxbury, Mass.) give the Bulldogs two first-team recipients for the first time since 2011, when both were also first-team honorees. Speck posted a goal and five assists on the season from her defensive position while helping Yale shut out four teams. Gavin returned to 2011 form, when she also was named Rookie of the Year, recording personal-bests in goals (11) and points (26). She tied for the League-lead in both categories.
Rounding out the first team was Princeton senior Gabriella Guzman (Bridgewater, N.J.), who earned her second first-team and third All-Ivy accolade. Guzman finished with five points on a goal, the gamewinner against Colgate, and three assists.
Brown led the way with four players on the second team, including junior defender Annie Gillen (San Clemente, Calif.), junior forward Chloe Cross (Seattle), senior forward Mika Siegelman (Piedmont, Calif.) and senior goalkeeper MC Barrett (Ithaca, N.Y.).
Columbia senior forward Beverly Leon (Wrentham, Mass.) earned her second-straight second team honor, while Cornell midfielders Claire MacManus (Rosemont, Pa.) and Rachel Nichols (Fairfax Station, Va.) gave the Big Red a pair of second-team recipients for the fourth-straight season. For MacManus, it marks her second such honor.

Mine's about BSL and I find a pineapple has helped a lot in the past. But it's starting to get too long to be as effective. Botticellibabe was doing a plopped pineapple with a satin-y sleep cap - her hair is probably hipbone length. If I can find one of those with a wide enough band (to prevent the crevice on my forehead), I'm going to try that.

St. Francis Prep, Center of NYC Swine Flu Outbreak, Reopens
It's back to school day for students at St. Francis Preparatory School. Mayor Bloomberg and other officials were on hand to welcome the students returning to the Queens parochial school, which closed last week after 45 students came down with confirmed cases of swine flu. All of the cases have been mild.
Speaking through the school's public address system, Bloomberg thanked the students for their patience, adding, "It's always good to be back with your friends and back to studying."
WNYC reporter Arun Venugopal told host Richard Hake that students say they're ready to be back to school - and to put the media circus behind them:
Also opening today: St. Brigid's, Good Shepherd and Bishop Kearney High School, all in Brooklyn. PS 177 in Queens will re-open on Wednesday.
Even as St. Francis reopened, newly confirmed infections and school closures were reported around New York and in other states. Health officials in Syracuse said Sunday that the city's Ed Smith Elementary School would close for a week because of a probable case of swine flu involving a student with a connection to St. Francis. That brings the total number of "probable or confirmed" cases of the illness outside of New York City to 17, according to state health officials.
And the Deer Park Union Free School District on Long Island announced Saturday it was closing six of its schools until May 10 because three students likely have swine flu. The students don't appear to have any connection to St. Francis and haven't recently traveled to Mexico, where the swine flu may have originated, according to a county health commissioner.

Head Coach Jim ZornOn the first day of training camp producing two injuries:
"They were both non-contact injuries. They are hard to predict, but you have to deal with it. There is nothing that we can discuss to say 'what if.' Alex Buzbee was setting for a punt block and as he was back pedaling and he planted, his achilles ruptured on his right leg. Fred Smoot got a sprained ankle. I love sprained ankles now because we know it is a few-day recover. With Phillip gone and now Buzbee gone, there is a hole there. Phillip has created a hole there. Demetric Evans has to fill in. We are really glad we have Erasmus James. Fortunately we have very mature coaches with experience. With Greg Blatche, we have already had several discussions on how to make this work. As we go we have the next practice and need to deal with it."
On the status of Erasmus James:
"We think Erasmus is going to be able to practice with reps in our team drills in August. As he works in and we build him up, he might not be ready to even get into the game until the last couple of preseason games. That is if his knee responds well and his shoulder responds well."
On the role of Demetric Evans:
"He just needs to fill a void and he will. He is a heck of a player. The other guys will move in and move up. He has been playing behind Phillip Daniels, so I haven't really been able to hone in on him. He has some size to him and he is going to have to be a good run stopper. He is going to have to continue to learn to pass rush and give us some stability there. I expect to slot him in and go. It is what we have to do."
On how Phillip Daniels is doing:
"The hard part is he was so ready. He did everything that he could possibly do to not only have a great training camp, but an excellent football season. Now he has a new challenge before him and of course we have a new challenge before us. He feels miserable. He deeply cares about the players on this team and knows that it is a big void. He knows that he was a key leader on this team. He is going to be around and he is going to try to do what he can to continue to be a part of it even though he doesn't get to play on the field. I think he has to work through a lot of the emotional issues. He senses a real loss for him, for us, and even his family. It is a hard thing to deal with."
On if the team will look elsewhere to fill the void caused by the injuries:
"I don't know if we will call teams or teams will approach us now because everybody will know. This will happen in the next few days if it does. If it doesn't then we will stick with what we have."
Running Back Clinton PortisOn the first day of training camp:
"It was good. The season is right around the corner. It's different from mini-camp and OTAs because now you are actually getting ready for somebody. Right now we are a month out from playing football and it really counts."
On what he thinks of Head Coach Jim Zorn so far:
"I think he is going to be a fun coach. I think a lot of the players love the ideas that he brings. I really think he is going to give more players the opportunity to use their talents. You are going to see a lot of people touch the ball, such as Malcolm Kelly, Devin Thomas, Chris Cooley, [Fred] Davis, and myself. Those guys are working hard. They look good and it is exciting to see how the ball gets spread around. You walk up to the line and it is not just me, Santana [Moss], and Chris [Cooley] getting the ball anymore. The ball can go anywhere and that is exciting."
On the impact that bringing in receivers is going to have on the running game:
"Its going to be great for the passing game and when you get a passing game it is going to open up the running game. They are going to counteract. The running game is going to have to be used to open up the passing game and the passing game is going to need to be used to get people out of the box for the run. I think it is a great combination. Guys are looking forward to it and we are excited about it. I know I am looking forward to it. It feels good to see six people in the box and everybody else spread out wide."
On his role on in this offense:
"People are used to seeing me as a break-away back and they want to see me break [away for big runs]. My role is different. I wanted to break away for big runs, but at the same time there were few opportunities. I didn't take advantage of all the opportunities, so I can't say I was consistent. Now I can say there are more opportunities. There is more freedom."
On where he thinks he is in terms of reaching his prime:
"I think I am having fun. Reaching a peak or not, I think there is a lot left in me because I am getting this opportunity and this freedom again. Over the past five years I have been playing tough man football and probably knocked six years off my career. I planned to play for nineteen years, but now I am down to thirteen. So I have six left."
On the loss of DE Phillip Daniels:
"It is tough. Phillip Daniels was one of our best defenders and a leader on this team. He went down the first play after all the hard work he put in during the offseason and knowing he was going to be a vital part to this team's success. All of a sudden you lose him on the first play and it is hard. As a team, guys need to focus and come together so we can find a way to win. We need to keep Phillip around us and keep him motivating us. Then we can go out and win for Phillip."
On training camp without the late Sean Taylor:
"Sean Taylor is always here with us and always in the back of our minds. Every time you step into the locker room you see the memorial for Sean. It is hard without him. I was looking in the backfield today and saw Stuart Schweigert and I thought, 'I wish Sean was here to share this.' He is that one piece. You always feel that you are a piece of the puzzle away and if you could go back and fill Sean into this team it's a piece of the puzzle. To me it would feel like we are there and could be the Super Bowl champs. Not having that as a team means that guys need to come together as a team and work. You are never going to replace him, but guys need to continue to try."
Redskins Quarterback Jason Campbell
On practicing under Coach Zorn:
"Coach Zorn is a good coach. He has a lot of drills for us, and they are exciting because they prepare you well for games. Everything has become second nature to us, but we have not gotten to Coach Zorn's favorite drill yet, dodgeball."
On the loss of Phillip Daniels:
"He is one of our proven veterans on the defensive line that makes plays. You hate to see him get injured because he has such a great attitude and mindset about being on the team, and helping us when games. He works tremendously hard, and you can see how fit he is. We have to pick him up as a team, and show him that we still love him, still care for him, and let him know that he is still part of the team."
Redskins Linebacker Marcus Washington
On the loss of Phillip Daniels:
"It is tough and really unfortunate. We know how hard he worked in the offseason, and how much a part of this team he is, especially on the defensive side. But I know Phillip, and this will not keep him down."
On how difficult it is to know that a player's entire season is lost due to an injury on the first day:
"It is tough because people don't know how much time players put into the offseason. You put the time in and make a lot of sacrifices, which is why it is so disappointing when you don't get a chance to make it to the regular season."
On the advantages of having so many returning starters on defense:
"It is good because guys know what to expect from each other, and we have a lot of confidence in each other. We had a pretty good run last year as a defense, and hopefully we can continue to get better this year."
Redskins Defensive Lineman Cornelius Griffin
On how difficult it will be to replace Phillip Daniels:
"You can't replace a leader and a veteran that knows the game, knows how to work, and knows how to be accountable. But this gives someone an opportunity to step up."

Standing on podium must be a moral boost but it was gifted. qualifying looks ok to be get in striking range but unusually he is having trouble with race pace,, he usually puts up a late charge but not in last three races...
Whatever Bautista is making the most of Rossi's woes... Lost in every battle with Rossi but locking with him in last lap encounters are priceless lessons and he is learning to hold nerves in a great way, look at the last lap tussle with Bradl today... Bautista is really polishing his battle skills by battling with Rossi.

Everyone's talking about the Higgs boson discovery– but what if someone asks you to explain it?
The possible discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN is obviously of tremendous importance to our understanding of the universe, but how does one explain the Higgs boson to a layperson, a child, an idiot? A lot depends on who you're talking to, and what they want to hear. Just use this handy guide to selective explanation:
For people you're trying to impress: "The Higgs boson is an elementary scalar particle first posited in 1962, as a potential byproduct of the mechanism by which a hypothetical, ubiquitous quantum field – the so-called Higgs field – gives mass to elementary particles. More specifically, in the standard model of particle physics, the existence of the Higgs boson explains how spontaneous breaking of electroweak symmetry takes place in nature."
For harassed, sleep-deprived parents: "If the constituent parts of matter were sticky-faced toddlers, then the Higgs field would be like one of those ball pits they have in the children's play area at IKEA. Each coloured plastic ball represents a Higgs boson: collectively they provide the essential drag that stops your toddler/electron falling to the bottom of the universe, where all the snakes and hypodermic needles are."
For English undergraduates: "The Higgs boson (pronounced "boatswain") is a type of subatomic punctuation with a weight somewhere between a tiny semicolon and an invisible comma. Without it the universe would be a meaningless cloud of gibberish – a bit like The Da Vinci Code, if you read that."
For teenagers studying A-level physics: "No, I know it's not an atom. I didn't say it was. Well, I meant a particle. Yes, I do know what electromagnetism is, thank you very much – unified forces, Einstein, blah blah blah, mass unaccounted for, yadda yadda, quarks, Higgs boson, the end. It was a long time ago, and I'm tired. Change the channel – we're missing Come Dine With Me."
For a member of the Taxpayers' Alliance: "Its discovery is a colossal, unprecedented, almost infinite waste of money."
For a child in the back seat of a car: "It's a particle that some scientists have been looking for. Because they knew that without it the universe would be impossible. Because without it, the other particles in the universe wouldn't have mass. Because they would all continue to travel at the speed of light, just like photons do. Because I just said they would, and if you ask 'Why?' one more time we're not stopping at Burger King."
For religious fundamentalists: "There is no Higgs boson."

The 535s felt too big after a few drives. The GTI/Golf-R had the best shot as new vehicles but my last few Audi/VW products went south so fast I felt like it'd be crazy to take that leap again. Still I do like something so much about the size and zip of the GTI. Just not the FWD (or the AWD of the Golf-R).
So I settled into trying to find a ZHP. Eventually it became clear I couldn't find a ZHP locally for a price I felt was acceptable (about 15-18k) given I'd have plenty of immediate fixes to do on one. Buying used means being patient and trying to avoid a money pit. It just never panned out over and over.
So it really came down to deciding what was most important for me: RWD, manual, 4 doors and something with a sporty-feel. With all the competition disqualified, I settled on the 3. It'll do. Not in love but after 5 weeks it's an acceptable car.
Yep it takes some time to get the right ZHP. The really good ones are getting harder and harder to find. It took me 4 months to find the right one 4 years ago.

Studio 8 Salon came to life in April of 2002. The salon, originally Michelle & Company was small, but established, with a stellar reputation and unequivocal energy. When I acquired the salon it was obvious that the same environment had to be maintained, only grander! We decided to resurface the aesthetics and doubled the size, making room for the most sought-after and talented stylists to add to the already established staff. As professionals and a salon as a whole, we continue to grow personally and artistically. We are dedicated to giving our clients a broad spectrum of individuality and creativity through the shaping, coloring and styling of hair focused on exquisite customer service without pretentious boundaries. I can't believe it's been so many years, and I sincerely love and learn every day that I step through the doors.

Monterey Wins Silver Spurs 49-14
Here we are in Week 10, the last Hoo-Rah for some teams, the last tune-up for others and think about this, the Spurs game always impassioned regardless of how good the teams are but this year.
Both teams heading to the playoffs and postseason seeding on the line.
When Lubbock High and Monterey lace 'em up and they did that tonight out at Lowery, a late kickoff heavy hearts for Monterey.
After Coach Reese Fleming's passing Monday, first Quarter Brandon Hernandez, takes the handoff and carries it for the first down, knocked out at the Monterey 35.
Later in the drive, Hernandez again, this time he will finish the job, going in from 35 yards out and Lubbock High jumps on top 7-0.
Ensuing drive though Jacob Bartholamae hands it off and Monterey goes for about 15 yards right here setting up this Bartholamae on the 10-yard touchdown run, as Monterey ties it up.

So I did something I've never done before! I went to my first meet up from meetup.com. Went to the local gaming group, and played "Divided Republic". We played as presidential candidates in the 1860 elections. There's a lot of rules to get through the first time playing through, but it was a lot of fun. I'd definitely recommend it.
Also managed to read Jamie Hernanez's God and Science today. Really enjoyed the fun story inside. It's also good to see a superhero story that has a good number of properly proportioned women in it. So pick that one up as well.
Short update today. Going into my first job interview in a while, so wish me luck!

VANCOUVER, B.C.–The Government of Canda is increasing the number of flights to monitor and detect pollution from ships in Canada's waters.
The Honourable Lisa Raitt, Minister of Transport, announced the new funding in British Columbia this week.
"Tanker traffic has increased, and through our government's plan for Responsible Resource Development, we are ensuring the safe and reliable transport of energy resources through our waterways," said Raitt.
On the West Coast, for the next three years, surveillance hours will be increased from 500 to 700 hours, and then to 1,200 hours in 2016/17 and beyond.
The National Aerial Surveillance Program (NASP) is one of the main pillars of the Government of Canada's Pollution Prevention Program and is the government's primary tool for detecting ship-source pollution, she announced.
The Government of Canada is now approximately doubling funding for the program, to $47.6M over the next five years. This funding allows for significantly more flight hours to detect pollution.
According to the government, there has been a noticeable decline in the number of spills observed since the program was established in 1991. The surveillance fleet consists of three modernized aircraft strategically placed across the country. The information generated by Environment Canada's Integrated Satellite Tracking of Pollution program serves as an early warning indication for areas of potential pollution to assist the NASP crew in performing surveillance activities on Canada's coastal waters.
Evidence gathered, along with information from satellite monitoring reports, is forwarded to the appropriate government departments and international partners to investigate and enforce domestic and international laws and conventions.
This announcement is one of a number of measures that are part of the World-Class Tanker Safety System, announced in March 2013. Transport Canada also aims to strengthen the current requirements for pollution prevention and response at oil handling facilities, through amendments to the Canada Shipping Act, 2001.
"Our government has zero tolerance towards polluting Canada's marine environment. That is why we have doubled the funding for surveillance and monitoring of ships to detect pollution in Canada's waters."

"We either have to really do it or we have to quit," Neumann remembers telling her husband, John.
In 1999 she decided to "really do it," forming SOAR as a nonprofit organization and full-time labor of love.
SOAR receives about 150 birds annually, primarily raptors. Common patients include red-tailed hawks, kestrels, great horned owls, screech owls, and bald eagles.
Some of these birds are stricken with infections such as West Nile virus. Others are injured in collisions, often with cars, power lines, or fences. A few are deliberately shot or poisoned.
Not all poisoning is intentional. Many birds succumb to lead toxicity, most after ingesting lead shot or fragments of lead bullets discharged by hunters.
Bald eagles, which scavenge gut piles and unrecovered deer carcasses, are particularly susceptible. "I'd hardly ever get to see an eagle for rehabilitation if it weren't for lead poisoning," laments Neumann, "which would be fine with me."
Her experience has moved Neumann to advocate for lead alternatives.
She has worked with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to develop educational materials for outdoor enthusiasts, helps with Iowa State University studies on lead levels in raptors, and lobbies the Iowa Legislature for restrictions on lead ammunition.
"It's not that we can't stand to see animals die," explains Neumann. "We see animals die every day. It's just that there would be something so easy to do to fix this."
Her efforts to replace lead haven't yet produced the results Neumann would like, but persisting in spite of setbacks is something to which she's grown accustomed. Seven of the nine snowy owls recovered last winter died before or shortly after arriving at SOAR.
Neumann chooses to focus instead on the victories. A female snowy rescued in Wright County made a full recovery at SOAR. Neumann worked in cooperation with the Raptor Research Project (of the Decorah Eagle Cam fame) to fit the owl with a transmitter before releasing her in October.
If all goes well, tracking her movements will allow scientists to add to a growing body of knowledge regarding these birds.

Why do Democrats say women who have children they can't care for are heroes when they are in reality leeches?
Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 3:47 pm — admin
Meet this mother of FIVE, Elizabeth Escalona, who has been sentenced to 99 years in jail for gluing her child's hands to a wall as punishment for existing as a child. Now meet the DemoRATs who insist that 23- year-old Elizabeth Escalona, up until the time she got that glue bottle out, was a hero who needs every white working mom to shovel out a third of her income to pay for the care and feeding and etc., etc., of Elizabeth Escalona's FIVE kids. Dems call Elizabeth Escalona a hero mom—until reality catches up.
And statistics show reality always catches up, no matter how much we take from women who don't have children they can't feed to give to women who do.
From the NYDaily News:
Jocelyn {the beaten child} has since recovered and is now being cared for by her grandmother, Ofelia Escalona, who is taking care of her daughter's four other children, including a baby born this year.
This week I sat next to a woman who makes a living from Head Start, the program that has shoveled $163 billion into kids pre-school only to see those gains lost almost immediately when the kids enter into public schools. The women was having a lovely dinner at an upscale restaurant, diamonds dripping off her tanned fingers—she had just returned from a vacation in an exotic spot. When asked by my companion what to do: she said: why we need to pay for in home tutors in the home at night because the parents will not to what is needed to help their children with their homework. She said the parents must have in home housework help as well—paid for by...you guessed it, white women who did not have five kids without a college degree, because well you can stretch the middle class farrrrrr and far and far to pay for the needs of Elizabeth Escalona and her unending progeny.
Escalona is a dumb breeder, but rather than call her that, as we should to shame her from demanding others pay the tab for her fecundity, Dumorats as my party has become, insists, right up until the second she glues those tiny hands to the wall, and kicked and beat the child for potty training issues, Breeder Escalona is a freakn' hero, downtrodden by the likes of Rich White Women like Ann Romney or any other white women they can think of to demand cash redistribution of their paychecks or husband's paychecks to care for the Escalona's of this country.
Here is how the story ends: NYDaily News:
A counselor, Melanie Davis, testified Wednesday that her sessions with Escalona indicated the young mother loved all five of her children and that she would benefit from more counseling. Davis said Escalona has set herself the short-term goal of finding a job and the long-term aim of getting her children back.
Translation: white woman, That is gonna cost you some serious coin so pile up on that birth control cause we need your money to counsel Escalona, pay for the unending stream of caregivers and funding needs of her five kids, pay for her lawyers, pay for pay for pay for, fuck you white women saving for your kid's college education, fuck you bitch, shut up and Pay for Miss Escalona, because she is the fucking HERO of this story , you hear that white bitches, Escalona is the HERO here.
Now, as we done before, we turn to the communist/ socialist NYTimes writer Eduardo Porter who has never met a tax he didn't like—we wrote about his dire wishes to see Obama's dream of permanent gas taxes of some $5 a gallon implemented last month. Today we turn to Comrade Porter's hand wringing that any effort to reduce the deficit will hurt funds that go to the likes of Elizabeth Escalona.
He wants more more more and more and more to go to kids born to low-income folks because:
"unsurprisingly, half of American children born to low-income parents grow up to be low-income adults."
Hmmm, we've been throwing money hand over fist at low-income kids and their parents for over 40 years and the needle has NOT moved. Those kids are still as likely, if not MORE so, to grow up to be government subsidy humans, despite hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on each kid over their childhoods.
But comrade Porters answer is to make producers work longer hours and into their dotage so that their money can keep flowing to the likes of Elizabeth Escalona and her progeny. Because seniors have saved and are not as poor as the likes of Elizabeth Escalona we need to get their money and pay for some, erghm, counseling for Miss Escalona. Comrade Porter drones on about the need to funnel money to kids whose parents can't afford them, but not once, NEVER once states the obvious: make policies that don't endorse the likes of Elizabeth Escalona to have five kids. Cause when she beat her child and glued her hands to the wall, the likes of Porter will tell you "we have the third-worst rate of infant mortality among 30 industrialized nations and the second-highest teenage pregnancy rate, after Mexico.
Democrats need to stand up and SHAME women for having children they have not the wherewithal to raise. We need to do it BEFORE they have those kids and glue their hands to walls, before we ask higher-income women to think LOW for themselves after years of deferred gratification and hard work so no one is every asked to permanently raise their child—that is if they even have one, which white working women very often loath to do without a husband.
So when NYTimes writer Comrade Porter tells you in "Cutbacks and the Fate of the Young" not to worry about the deficit we are placing on our kids, that we should spend more on kids who are very very likely to need lifetime taxpayer support to get along, well what he is really saying: you rich white bitches be having too many babies and need to work harder and the child you do have must work every harder and perhaps never have a child so the likes of Elizabeth Escalona can have her "fair share" of your money, house, children, retirement, college education, food, vacations, health insurance.
Comrade Porter wrote another article "At the Polls, Choose Your Capitalism" pretending that Obama's path was on of capitalism. Here is what Porter said:
We have to say, Obama and Porter: We think we ought to take our thumb OFF the scale on the side of the have-nots like Escalona so that her children don't feel the moral imperative you send to them, saying "go forth and multiply because the haves owe it to you. They do not, and we have got to start saying that adults must become responsible for the choices they make in life, and that a temporary safety net is ALL we will provide.

Just found this site. Tasty
Just found this site. Tasty article! We are reversing survival of the fittest to deluge of the least fit. By ensuring no intelligence is needed to thrive in the world and limiting those with intelligence to pass on their offspring --by redistributing their material fortunes to the point they limit children they produce-- we are sending the world with low hanging fruit.

This is very hard on poor
This is very hard on poor women who decided to have children. But I can't say it is wrong. Why can't we ask women to put off child bearing until a time when they can reasonably care for their young? Isn't that what reproductive rights is all about when you really think about it?

The author says that package bees are the best way to go because they are easier to handle for a new beekeeper. Also, alot of the apiaries are putting on there websites that nucs are the best way too. I do not know if this is a sale tactic to get more money or what. What do you guys think?By the way, I think I have my wife convinced to let me give beekeeping a try! But not in our backyard.

On to the stink issue again
I've read all the posts and I've tried everything. We moved almost 2 months ago (well water now as well as new washer) and I have yet to get a washing routine that works. I've done up to 5 cold rinses once to get rid of bubbles. Right now everything stinks of ammonia as soon as he pees in it.
I've read about boiling hemp, can I boil cb inserts and mf towels? I quit using hemp thinking that was the problem back when the smell was really only in the pail (or night dipe), but it's gotten worse.
We use pockets pretty much with cb inserts wrapped in mf towels. For detergent, I have a little Sun left (can't stand the smell of it), Tide, Purex F&C (haven't used yet), All F&C (that's what I used at the old house). I did the Dawn thing a few days ago. I picked up Borax, but haven't used it. I did Simple Green & Washing Soda yesterday. My water seems pretty normal, not overly soft or hard.
I really want to get this figured out in the next few days before the baby gets here. I don't know that I can handle a 2yo and a newborn and stinky cloth.
Re: On to the stink issue again
have you tried boiling the inserts/mf towels???
my wash routine is pretty basic and i have well water
pre wash in cold
wash in cold with allens
another wash in HOT with allens
add in extra rinse and this is where i add TTO and/or lavander
Re: On to the stink issue again
I've heard not to use f&c detergents, b/c they apparently leave more build-up.
Re: On to the stink issue again
I've got some inserts on the stove right now and sure enough, there's bubbles.
How long do I boil? Then I dump and boil again until no bubbles right? I'll be doing this all day at this rate, I can't fit many in the pots I have LOL
So, this means I need to up the water heater when I wash dipes right, rather than adding a pot of boiling water to the wash?
Re: On to the stink issue again
heres a site for laundry choices
Re: On to the stink issue again
i would say boil till NO bubbles!! i've never done it though--thats why i do the extra rinses.
if you up the water heater just dont forget to turn it back down!
ooo what i noticed that helped with the amniona smell was vinegar!
this round of cloth diapering i've only done it once-i did my normal wash routine THEN took ALL pockets out did a 3rd wash with just fitteds, inserts, mf towels, pf's, wipes, liners, doublers etc, then i add vinegar to the downy ball.....
Re: On to the stink issue again
I know they say not to bleach, but if you do it every once and a while it can't hurt. Bleach ONLY your inserts. Always use 1/4 cup or less (depending on # of inserts, I do 1/4 cup with 22 CB inserts). Works like a charm. I do additional rinses to rid the bleach smell. It has not reduced the performance at all. Good Luck...
Re: On to the stink issue again
I was having this problem and TTO really seemed to help.

You mentioned that you sell the ultrasonic transducers by themselves but I can't find them on the spark fun site. Should I search for something other than "ultrasonic"? Thanks

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 141433804X, Hardcover)"Your only job is to help your players be better." That single idea had a huge impact on Tony Dungy when he heard it from one of his earliest mentors, and it led him to develop the successful leadership style so admired by players and coaches throughout the NFL. Now, a storied career and a Super Bowl victory later, Tony Dungy is sharing his unique leadership philosophy with you. In The Mentor Leader, Tony reveals what propelled him to the top of his profession and shows how you can apply the same approach to virtually any area of your life. In the process, you'll learn the seven keys of mentoring leadership—and why they're so effective; why mentor leadership brings out the best in people; how a mentor leader recovers from mistakes and handles team discipline; and the secret to getting people to follow you and do their best for you without intimidation tactics. As a son, a football player, and a winning coach, Tony has always learned from others on his path to success. Now you can learn to succeed for your team, family, or organization while living out your values—by becoming a mentor leader.

New Mexico Telegram » Featured, New Mexico House, New Mexico Senate » Reform New Mexico Now PAC sends anti-Jennings mailer to Sanchez's district
Reform New Mexico Now PAC sends anti-Jennings mailer to Sanchez's district
Reform New Mexico Now PAC may have more money than it knows what to do with — evidenced by the fact that it is sending mailers into the wrong districts.
The PAC's two highest profile targets are Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez of Belen and Senate President Pro Tem Tim Jennings of Roswell. Those are two very different cities and the two are very different politicians.
But the PAC run by Martinez's top political adviser Jay McCleskey sent a mailer attacking Jennings over his stance on the death penalty to an unidentified household in Belen, which is in Sanchez's district.
Sanchez faces Rep. David Chavez while Jennings faces political neophyte Cliff Pirtle.
The misfire of the mailer is an example of shotgun-approach that Reform New Mexico Now is using to try to unseat Democratic opponents.
The mailer is very similar to a mailer sent by Rep. Nate Gentry, R-Albuquerque, attacking his opponent, Mary Ellen Broderick, D-Albuquerque, both in content and imagery. PACs and candidates are forbidden by law from coordinating with one another.
Mailers attacking candidates from Reform New Mexico Now PAC on a similar issue have went after candidates throughout the state — but the imagery on the errantly-sent Jennings attack piece and the Gentry one are among the most similar.
Both show images of hooded men and accuse their Democratic opponents of siding with "child killers" for opposing the death penalty.
The pictures use a similar photo of an individual in a hoodie — which ProgressNow New Mexico says evokes thoughts of Trayvon Martin.
"It is unconscionable that any politician would find it acceptable, even for a second, to use an image of a dark man in a hooded sweatshirt in a political ad today," says Pat Davis of ProgressNowNM of the Gentry piece in a statement sent to the media. "Nate Gentry has either been living under a rock or believes, like George Zimmerman, that kids in hoodies are boogeymen first and kids second. Either way, let's hope his voters know better."
When Broderick said that the Gentry mailer was "racist," Gentry told KRQE, "If you look at the mailer, the person on the mailer is Caucasian. I'm talking about policies, where we differ on issues."
If you look at the mailer you cannot see the face of the person in the hoodie. Another person in the ad, who is in jail, is Caucasian.
Sanchez is locked in a tight race with Chavez, while momentum seems to be going Jennings' way in his race; prominent Republicans have bucked the governor and backed Jennings' reelection.

Reform New Mexico Now run by Jay McCleskey is paying tens of thousands of dollars to his own McCleskey Media. This should be investigated!
Mr. David Chavez is known for one thing – his intolerance of gay marriage. He introduced his Defense of Marriage Act HR22 on Valentine's Day in 2012. The legislation would ban New Mexico from recognizing all lawful marriages from other states between same-sex couples. In New Mexico, marraige would only be recognized if it was between one man and one woman. It is sad to see that discrimination and bigotry are still alive in New Mexico.
Ironically and hypocritically Mr Nate Gentry told his constituents he would not do any negative attacks in campaign.

We're very excited to launch our new site with an amazing all new quilt block pattern from designer Elizabeth Hartman! Elizabeth is the author of The Practical Guide to Patchwork: New Basics for the Modern Quiltmaker and Modern Patchwork: 12 Quilts to Take You Beyond the Basics. Her Oh,Fransson! blog is a go-to source for quilting inspiration, sewing guidance and more. Elizabeth did a year-long series of tutorials on Sew Mama Sew–find the full list of tutorials and patterns here. She has also contributed many additional projects over the years including our Color Blocks Placemat + Napkin Sew-Along and the Quilt Block Sew-Along.
Today Elizabeth shares a free PDF pattern for the Dancing Queen Quilt Block, with additional instructions about how to turn the blocks in to a quilt. Have fun with the new block; add a link in the comments if you try it out!
I originally planned this block as a way to use Michael Miller's iridescent Mirror Ball Dots fabric. I thought the name of the fabric was so fun that I wanted to come up with something disco ball inspired, but it took me a while to settle on a piecing design.
When I think about a disco ball, I think about something round but, when I actually looked at disco balls, I noticed that the mirror tiles are almost always square. I loved this sparkly mosaic look and turned it into a block that uses both solid and print fabric "tiles" to create the illusion of sparkle.
I adapted the design I used in the quilt, which I call Dancing Queen, into a 20" block pattern that is available here as a free PDF download. In this example, I've used prints from Violet Craft's Waterfront Park collection.
The block pattern includes an outer border which, in the sample, is made with Robert Kaufman's Essex yarn-dyed cotton/linen in black. A single block like this would make a great pillow and multiple blocks, perhaps each with a different outer border, could be combined to make a fabulous quilt.
If you want to make a quilt more like my mirror ball example, you can skip the outer border described in the pattern and sew sashing between the blocks instead. For my quilt, I used 3" finished sashing (so strips that were 3½" wide before they were sewn).
The construction of my quilt top is actually very similar to the way the tiles and sashing are put together in each block – just on a larger scale. If you're planning a composition like mine where blocks appear to extend off the top of the quilt, you can either make whole blocks and cut them in half (using each half in a different place) or you can use the process described in the pattern to make partial blocks using fewer tiles.
Whatever you do, have fun with the Dancing Queen block. It's a great place to feature little bits of your favorite fabrics! Download the PDF pattern to get started.

This quilt is amazing! EH makes the most interesting patterns that anyone can do! That is why I am such a great fan:)
I really like his block. There are so many possibilities!!!
I really like this block and am thinking of all of the possibilities. However, I have so many 2.5″ fabric strips that I would more likely make the blocks using 2.5″ squares instead of 3″. Also, I would "cheat" by sewing the solid strips to the thin sashing strips before cutting them into squares. This shortcut would save fabric, too! The sashing strips might need to be downsized to 3/4″ wide to maintain the block proportions. I will certainly post a photo to Flickr when I make a block.
Such a talented lady! Love the Dancing Queen block very much. I see such possibilities!

Citation: Jansky, S.H. 2006. Breeding for Verticillium Wilt Resistance: Prospects and Challenges. European Association for Potato Research. Paper No. 11. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Verticillium wilt is a serious yield-limiting factor for potato production worldwide. The disease is caused mainly by the soil-borne fungus V. dahliae. Cultural practices provide limited control of the disease. Fumigation is effective but costly. Host plant resistance, however, offers an attractive alternative for reducing the impact of Verticillium wilt in potato production. High levels of Verticillium wilt resistance have been identified in wild Solanum species and their hybrids with the cultivated potato. A reliable screening assay is necessary to identify resistant clones in screening, breeding, and genetics studies. Symptom expression is typically not an effective screening strategy in segregating populations because the "early dying" symptoms of the disease can be confused with natural senescence. Stem colonization assays are preferred and typically involve the plating of stem sap or dried stems, followed by incubation and colony counting. However, these assays are time-consuming and can produce ambiguous results. A quantitative PCR assay that overcomes these limitations has been developed. In addition, techniques are being evaluated to identify Verticillium wilt resistance in early generations of a breeding program. These efforts should lead to the development of potato varieties with improved Verticillium wilt resistance.

Evacuations continue as New Brunswick river floods
FREDERICTON, New Brunswick (Reuters) - A flooded Saint John River played havoc with the Canadian province of New Brunswick again on Friday, forcing hundreds from their homes and sending a house floating down the waterway.
Schools and roads were closed and water covered the streets in the provincial capital of Fredericton for a second day as the crest of the flood slowly made its way down the river to the Atlantic Coast.
CBC television broadcast video taken by a local resident that showed a house being carried by the flood waters.
"There is a lot of flooded area ... a lot of homes under water," Prime Minister Stephen Harper said after a helicopter tour of the area. "People seem to be handling it well."
More than 600 residents have been evacuated, most in Fredericton and in towns in northern New Brunswick, and evacuations are continuing, said Valerie Kilfoil of the provincial emergency measures organization.
No deaths have been reported because of the flooding in western New Brunswick or northern Maine, where the Saint John River also forced evacuations this week and closed two border crossings.
Water levels were stabilizing in northern New Brunswick early on Friday afternoon, and were expected to decline around Fredericton on Saturday.
A Reuters photographer watched as residents used canoes to reach their flooded houses and businesses. The swift current also made it difficult for military engineers, who were using their boats to help with evacuations.
Downstream water levels have not yet hit their expected peak levels, Kilfoil said, which means New Brunswick communities such as Maugerville and Saint John are still bracing for floods. Continued...

Citation: Saha, B.C. 2005. Status of biorefinery research and development at USDA-ARS [abstract]. International Biomass Forum: The Leading Edge of Biomass Research. Paper No. 4. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Biorefining refers to the conversion of biomass feedstock into a variety of products for the food, feed, chemical, and energy industries with minimal waste and emission. The biorefinery concept is similar to petroleum refineries which generate multiple products from petroleum. The Bioenergy and Energy Alternatives National Program (NP 307) at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has undertaken a wide variety of innovative biorefinery research projects. The lignocellulosic sugar platform-based research projects deal with various aspects of feedstock development, bioconversion, and coproducts utilization. The mission of NP 307 is to develop technology for alternate energy systems and increase the sustainable use of agricultural feedstocks for biofuels that will create jobs and economic activity in America, reduce the Nation's dependence on foreign oil, and improve the environment. ARS has the multidisciplinary research team to develop the technology needed for a successful biorefinery system. It also cultivates appropriate partnerships with other government agencies, universities, and industries in order to use resources more efficiently and achieve significant progress in a more effective way. ARS has the capability to scale-up, perform economic analysis and transfer the technology to private sectors for commercialization. The ARS funded, National Corn-to-Ethanol Pilot Plant at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, Illinois, will help to evaluate ARS technology in a simulated commercial environment. In this presentation, the objectives, progress to date, and future prospects of ARS sugar platform-based biorefinery research and development will be highlighted.
