I go to Paris to visit their postage-stamp sized shop in the 6th arrondisement, but it's available online. Drizzle it on popcorn and feel decadent.
Now I don't have to decide! I can have candied violets, mimosas, mint and roses in one box!
I've never seen a mimosa flower before, but it looks amazing!
I've never had lilac petals before! And I've never seen pink lilac petals again--so candied pink lilac petals sounds like something that could inspire baked goods for days to come.
I have never had candied mint leaves before! they sound delicious!
If violet petals aren't your thing, I like these candied rose petals. perfect for little tea cakes or for a nice rose cake.
ooh! Candied violets are always pretty and perfect for baking. I can see this on a cupcake.
One of my favorite fruitcake recipes is a recipe for a hazelnut chestnut fruitcake. These candied chestnuts would fit in perfectly!Added 7 Years Ago from Markethallfoods
Full clementines that have been candied? I don't know what to do with them yet, but I want them!Tags: food, candy, orange, sweets, clementineAdded 7 Years Ago from Markethallfoods
Even better than lemon peel is ginger! I could eat ginger all day. It's good for snacks and good for cooking and just plain good!Added 7 Years Ago from Markethallfoods
I can eat candied lemon peels all day. These ones look nice and tasty.Added 7 Years Ago from Markethallfoods
I love making my own fruitcake. Candied orange peel isn't hard to make it's just troublesome. But his candied orange peel looks amazing--and tasty!Tags: food, cooking, baking, candy, orange, tasty, fruit cake, orange peelAdded 7 Years Ago from Markethallfoods

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
The act of eyebrow threading is an odd and ancient one. First you choose the color thread — gold, magenta, white (Vogue claims fluorescent green and nude are all the rage this season) — and hand it to your threading technician, who, while you were making your color selection, was purifying a large needle for this holy act by chanting in Sanskrit, doing ballet squats, and wearing a shredded snakeskin braided with a banana peel on top of her head. After the tech has gotten the green light from Fabricala — the Goddess of Fabric — she shaves off your natural eyebrows, takes the purified threading needle, jams it into your forehead, and weaves you new brows. OK, not really, but taking a piece of thread, sticking the middle of it into the mouth, and weaving the rest of the thread through the fingers to create a triangle that plucks multiple hairs from the brow makes some people's imaginations run wild. Popular among Arabic cultures, the process takes a little longer than waxing, but the results are much more precise and there's no risk of burning, scarring, or hyperpigmentation. Blush Nail Lounge & Boutique — a girly, 1920s-inspired SoBe salon — does your face right for just $30 (that's 15 bucks a brow!). Take a seat at the back of the shop, close your eyes for 15 to 20 minutes, and open them to natural-looking, well-groomed eyebrows that complement the shape of your face. Just make sure to show your gratitude by tipping your threader — and leaving a banana peel for Fabricala.
In 2002, the Village of Merrick Park did what no other shopping mall seemed capable of doing. It broke the stronghold the Bal Harbour Shops had on luxury goods. If you wanted to drop outrageous amounts of money on ready-to-wear items from the world's top designers, you had to travel to the small town near the Broward County line, quite a trek if you lived in Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, or Pinecrest. But the Village of Merrick Park cut travel time to a few short minutes and borrowed heavily from its Bal Harbour counterpart — an open-air layout, high-end eateries, and an atmosphere decidedly non-mall. And with stores such as Neiman Marcus, Betsey Johnson, Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Jimmy Choo, and La Perla, Merrick Park is a worthy competitor for high-end clientele. Besides, it boasts one of the few Borders bookstores still left.
When your party-animal level reaches such a high point that only an explosion of '80s sequins and shoulder pads can do it justice, or when your art-gallery day job requires you look like a '70s Lolita adorned in ruffles and soft chiffon, only one store can adequately quell your ravenous vintage appetite. Tiny, well-organized, adorned with a huge black-and-white print that quotes Alice in Wonderland, and filled with quirky details (care for a collection of doll heads?), the Rabbit Hole is an expertly curated and moderately priced potpourri of secondhand goods plucked from New York City flea markets, Los Angeles vintage warehouses, and other corners of the world where cool and original live (and where the husband-and-wife owners, who are also photographers, travel). If a bunny called this shop home, it would be the type that sports nerdy, oversize glasses; hops around in old-school combat boots; and refuses to eat carrots because "they're so conventional." In other words, exactly the type of rabbit we like.
Given that most of the used bookstores left in Miami are in strip malls and half of their stock comprises multiple copies of the same wildly popular romance and teen novels, Fifteenth Street Books could easily be mistaken for a book museum. The store, which occupies the original site of Books & Books, is lined floor to ceiling with wooden shelves brimming with actual, real, bona fide literature and grand art books featuring lavish reproductions. Climb the hardwood stairs to the sun-filled second floor and you'll find collectibles and limited-edition prints, not hidden in some showcase, but on shelves to grab and actually peruse. Scour the store and you can find some real gems, such as a copy of a first edition (albeit a later printing) of Naked Lunch in its original, though well-worn, dust jacket for $20. Heck, that's almost what a new, tacky-looking paperback of this modern-day Inferno will set you back at Borders, if you can find a Borders, that is.
Believe it or not, there's better treasure at your local Goodwill store than just macramé owls, velvet Elvises, secondhand underwear, busted-up ham radios, and cracked souvenir ashtrays from places you'll never visit. Of course, we're talking about highly collectible vinyl. Basically, as baby boomers age, enter nursing homes, and fall into open graves, they need to get rid of their awesome stockpiles of old records. And often, the easiest and most efficient way to free themselves of these extremely precious worldly possessions is simply donating them to a nonprofit thrift outlet like Goodwill. So hurry! Go pick through the '60s generation's vinyl leftovers. Sure, it's not all gold and platinum. There's a glut of stuff such as Neil Diamond's Hot August Night, Hall & Oates's Abandoned Luncheonette, and multiple copies of every single Herb Alpert album in the universe. But look hard through the junk and you'll eventually find a few rad rarities, like Velvet Underground's White Light/White Heat, or curios such as a chicken-grease-smeared first pressing of Christmas Day With Colonel Sanders. And when you're paying only $1 per LP, this kind of killer find makes you feel like an especially slick looter.
With gas prices this high, even the most motor-loving among us must be considering the benefits of switching, at least on occasion, to self-powered transportation. But maybe we're not ready to shell out top dollar for a new bicycle. If you're looking for a used bike or used parts, check out Tamiami Cyclery. The small strip-mall spot has been in business for decades and looks like it, but you'll find a menagerie of vintage frames and rare parts at good prices. Plus the staff is always polite and knowledgeable.

LED's seem to be on the horizon as the most energy efficient light sources. They are still prohibitively expensive to purchase, but apparently prices are expected to come down and they do save money over the long term.
I am wondering if there is any research information on their utility as plant lights.

There are already LED grow light systems being used by hydroponic growers:
And there are many articles online regarding the efficiency and benefits of LED grow lights for indoor gardening:
I would guess that intensity will be the limiting factor for plant growth response, and that will determine costs and feasibility for use in settings where the fixtures will be visible to the public, as in interiorscape applications.

Wide-spectrum LED - Technological advances make LED spectrum practice - better than the blue one! Broad-spectrum LEDs used to start seeds early in the season and growing herbs and leafy vegetables. Add red LEDs to promote plant growth and fruit production throughout the season.
Indoor gardens, orchids, African violets, herbs and leafy vegetables.
From seeds of principle: Get a jump on Mother Nature!
Greenhouses Supplement natural light to promote growth of plants.
Hydroponic gardening: Combines the best of LEDs and hydroponics.

Now the long-planned Valley Children's Museum also is going to Dublin. A project pushed for years by former Pleasanton resident and businessman Rick Beaumont, the museum is about to receive 2-1/2 acres on a Camp Parks site that is being split up among the military, a developer and the city of Dublin. The Dublin City Council insisted on the land grant in another move to add more nonprofits in the city. Beaumont approached Pleasanton leaders about providing a place for a children's museum, which will be patterned after Children's Discovery Museum of San Jose and others in Sausalito and Stockton. Finding little interest, he and the Valley Children's Museum board of directors approached San Ramon, whose leaders offered space in its new City Center. A few years passed before the board realized that it could be many years, if ever, before the San Ramon center is built. Dublin officials, learning of the plight, jumped in with their offer of financial and logistical help.
As a starter, Beaumont and his group acquired a large Mervyn's children's activities trailer, which was part of the retail store's roving tractor-and-trailer exhibit fully equipped and staffed that went to Mervyn's stores around the country. Beaumont accepted the gift of the trailer -- before Mervyn's declared bankruptcy -- and the unit is now a showplace of the Valley Children's Museum to come with its weekly displays and shows at the Thursday night Farmers Markets in Dublin. Hundreds visited the exhibits all summer long, seeing models and working displays about early California, crafts and art. Volunteers worked with children to make dolls out of cornhusks the way they did in the 1800s. Each week, the theme of the exhibit changed, from early missions to water conservation presentations by Zone 7 representatives to stories about early Native Americans in the Tri-Valley area.
Beaumont, who with his wife Nicole has four children, always had a passion for creating more places and activities that focus on very young children. Seeing the crowds at the Discovery Museum made him ask why we couldn't have something similar closer to home. Surveys he and the newly formed board of directors championed showed widespread interest in an activity center for children up to 7 years old. But it's not cheap and finding volunteers on a regular basis isn't easy. Mervyn's spent about $500,000 on the mobile exhibit that the Valley group is using. Dublin provides space in its Emerald Park free of charge. With a tractor and driver, there's no reason the exhibit couldn't be moved from time to time to other places, say, Pleasanton's Sports Park or the Fairgrounds, or to Livermore. Eventually, once the Camp Parks site is clearly identified and dedicated to the museum, the mobile unit can be moved there.
The partnership the Valley Children's Museum has established with the city of Dublin and Camp Parks has come none too soon for Beaumont. An investment and financial planner since he graduated from Cal Poly 17 years ago when he moved to Pleasanton, he has resigned as chairman of the museum board effective Jan. 1, seven years after he took on the job. Now 40, he says it's time for others to take on the task of finally building the museum. He plans to stay in touch, however, promising to be among the first in line with his family when it finally opens, hopefully in 2013.

Educational research did not hold a lot of meaning for me as an undergraduate student. After spending time in the classroom, I developed a context to frame my understanding. I realized that small changes in my approach could have a significant impact on students' beliefs and performance. Revisiting motivational theory helped me to establish a foundation for independent learning despite the push to "cover" content. Here are six research-based pointers that K-12 teachers can use now, along with the official terms to impress everyone with your knowledge in the teacher's lounge!
1. Promote positive beliefs about learning. A child's underlying beliefs, including the ability to be successful in a task, are directly tied to self-motivation and self-regulation.
- Use "Constructive Failure:" We must promote recognition of failure as a learning experience. Children who learn to attribute success or failure to effort as opposed to factors outside their control will exert greater effort in the future.
- Foster "Incremental" versus "Entity Theory" of Intelligence: Discouraging the belief that intelligence is "fixed" biologically and unchangeable can enhance motivation. We must help students to understand that intelligence is "incremental" and can be increased through a student's own learning behavior. (Burhans & Dweck, as cited in Stipek, 2002)
- Encourage "Internal" versus "External Locus of Control:" Students who believe that events in their lives are controlled by forces outside themselves (luck, chance, fate, biased others) are said to have an external locus of control. We must socialize students to believe that outcomes are generally contingent on their own behavior (internal locus of control). (Dweck, 2000 as cited in Stipek, 2002)
- Avoid Comparisons and Competition: Teachers should avoid inadvertent comparisons to classmates. This tends to cause anxiety and frequently undermines effort and motivation. As much as possible, students should be encouraged to compete against themselves by measuring their own progress and setting goals. Oftentimes, what looks like a cooperative activity is really a competitive activity; e.g. when table one competes with table two.
- Limit the Use of Rewards: Studies have shown that overuse of tangible rewards can actually hinder motivation to learn. Rewards can be most effective when motivation is low and/or when a task is unpleasant. When motivation is already high, rewards have been shown to reduce children's desire to complete a task. Extrinsic rewards should be removed once a pattern of motivation has been developed. When tangible incentives are used for the long term, studies have shown that children can lose sight of the learning goal and focus only on earning the reward. (Brophy, 2002)
The American educational theorist Edward Hutchings believed that "the object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives." Reinforcing healthy attitudes and beliefs, in combination with the teaching of skills and meaningful content, will have transformative value in how students perceive their own education.

(w.e.f. 1st April 2005)
The Delhi Government has repealed the Delhi Sales Tax Act, and The Value Added Tax has been brought into operation from 1st April 2005.
VAT provides set-off for the tax paid earlier through input tax credit/rebate. This input tax credit can be set off by a registered dealer against the amount of his output tax. VAT is based on the value addition to the goods.
Registration of dealer with gross annual turnover above Rs. 10 lakh will be compulsory. All the existing dealer registered under Delhi sales tax will automatically registered under VAT act. A new dealer will be allowed 30days time limit from the date of liability to get registered.
Small Dealer with annual gross turnover not exceeding Rs. 50Lakh who are otherwise liable to pay VAT, shall however have the option for a composition scheme with payment of tax at small percentage of gross turnover. The dealer option composition scheme will not be entitle to input credit.
Under Vat simplified form of return are notified. Returns are to be filed monthly/quarterly as specified in the state acts/rules, and will be accompanied with the payment challans. Every return furnished by the dealer will be scruitnised expeditiously within prescribed time limit from the date of filling the return. If any technical mistake is detected on scrutiny, the dealer will be required to pay the deficit appropriately.
The taxpayer's Identification Number will consist of 11digit numerals through out the country. First two characters will represent the state code as used by the union ministry of home affairs. The set up of the next nine characters may, however, be different in different states.
If a registered dealer is making a local sale to another registered dealer of Delhi, a tax invoice can be issued. Tax invoice should always mention:
- The word 'Tax Invoice' in a prominent place
- Identity of the seller (with registration number, name & address) [Pre printed]
- Identity of the buyer (with registration number, name & address)
- Description, quantity, volume and value of goods sold and services provided
- Amount charged with the amount of tax charged in the transaction indicated separately
In retail sales, which are much more numerous and of smaller amounts, retail sale invoice can be issued. Although retail invoice should always identify the seller and indication of buyer's name is optional. Sale price shall be inclusive of tax charged thereon. Moreover the word 'retail invoice' or 'bills' should be mentioned in a prominent place. No tax credit can be availed by the purchaser on the strength of retail invoice.
In the case of interstate sale/purchase the old provision of central sales tax act is applicable. The central statutory forms, i.e. Form C,D,F,H etc., shall continue to remain applicable.
For traders/ manufacturers in Delhi, We provide following services:
- How to get registration under VAT (Delhi)?
- Exempted Sales
- Know your Ward/Assessing officer
- Rate of VAT under Delhi VAT act
- Statutory Forms and how to get these forms
- Taxability of sale of fixed assets
- Regular assessment
- Appeal, revision and rectification of order
- Amendment in registration certificate

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 7, No. 0320. Friday, 26 April 1996.
Date: Friday, April 26, 1996
Subject: SHAKSPER Advisory Board
I have been slow in making any changes in the manner in which SHAKSPER
operates, but circumstances are such that I now feel a change is in order.
I have encouraged diversity and inclusiveness; nevertheless, SHAKSPER was
founded as an "academic" conference and I still view it as such. Our current
membership of 1250 includes many Shakespearean textual scholars and
bibliographers, editors and critics, but it also includes professors and high
school teachers, undergraduate and graduate students, actors, poets,
playwrights, theatre professionals, librarians, computer scientists, and
interested bystanders. The variety of SHAKSPEReans has led to wide-ranging
discussion, but many have lamented the recent infrequency of the engaging
scholarly exchange that SHAKSPER was intended to cultivate.
I want SHAKSPER principally to be a forum for serious academic discussion
(especially since electronic alternatives exist) and to that end I intend to
establish a SHAKSPER Advisory Board. This board will be composed of from four
to six Shakespearean scholars from within its membership.
The purpose of the SHAKSPER Advisory Board will be to advise the editor
1) On matters of policy affecting the entire conference,
2) On resolving complaints, and
3) On determining the appropriateness of certain posting.
A LISTSERV discussion group of its nature is different from a journal
(electronic or traditional) and peer-reviewed posting is not possible or
desirable; however, I do need advice from peers regarding issues that affect
the conference and particular posting that are questionable.
I will consider all responses to this posting as personal mail to me, and I
will entertain suggestions for members of the Advisory Board. I will be going
away for the weekend and NOT taking a computer with me. I hope to start making
invitations for membership on the Advisory Board by the middle of next week.

Thank you for reviewing this recipe.
Picture perfect!
I'm an Activity Director in a Senior Living Community and Marie's "Baking Club" is a favorite for some of our lady residents... this recipe was easy and allowed me to involve the entire group. We used the sugar cookie dough, then decorated the top with chopped nuts,colored sprinkles, Nestle's chocolate(original and mini), butterscotch and white chocolate chips in wedge shapes to look like "pizza slices." All three were beautiful and the ladies were full of smiles while holding them in the center of our circle for a group picture! Thanks Nestle's...I use a lot of the recipes I find here to bring wonderful aromas and treats to our kitchen!
One Big Cookie
Wow what a great and sweet present and looks so yummy. This is my favorite cookie.
celebration cookie
This was a big hit when I made it for my grandson for his 5th birthday. It looked as good as those you get at bakeries and tasted great. Thanks for the idea. I didn't have a pizza pan so I just used a cookie sheet and made a big circle in it to bake the cookie. I used the peanut butter cookie dough.
Great greeting
This is such a nice way to cheer someone up or use as any other greeting. I've used it many times to cheer up someone who is sick or recovering from surgery.

Diversified financial services provider PNC Financial Services Group (NYSE:PNC) is expected to witness faster loans and revenue growth at least until 2013 compared to its peers on account of a diverse stream of revenues that the company generates.
The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,-based company is predicted to witness 17.2 percent loan growth in 2012 driven by acquisitions and 6.5 percent in 2013 since it will focus less on commercial real estate lending, which is still facing rough weather due to previous excesses.
Approximately 80 percent of the loan portfolio is coming from commercial lending, consumer lending and lease financing. In terms of percentage, at the end of the second quarter, commercial lending consists of 43.7 percent, consumer lending accounted for 33.5 percent and lease financial represented 3.7 percent.
Interestingly, these three divisions have grown in the recent quarters and are well positioned to continue its uptick in the coming quarters. PNC can grow faster than its peers primarily due to less dependence on mortgage lending, which is facing torrid growth rates lately. PNC's 2012 total revenue is predicted to have only 2 percent of mortgage lending revenue.
Any possible slowdown in mortgage lending is likely to have less impact on PNC than on the likes of Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) or U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB) or BB&T (NYSE:BBT), which are likely to be exposed by 12.3 percent, 8.1 percent and 7.3 percent of 2012 revenues, respectively.
Looking at the loan portfolios of PNC, S&P Capital IQ analyst Erik Oja says, "We also see PNC's revenues as more diverse than these peers, with 7% to 8% (of expected 2012 total revenues) contributions from asset management, consumer services and corporate services."
PNC is also likely to benefit from improving credit quality and control over non-interest expenses, which run relatively higher as a result of a diverse stream of revenues since some of which costs higher. Erik Oja adds, "We forecast 2012 non-interest expenses at 73.0% of revenues, excluding unusual items, up from 69.1% in 2011. For 2013, we see expenses moderating to 71.0%, as legacy costs recede."
There is also an expectation that PNC's quality earnings are likely to be higher than most of its peers. S&P Capital IQ sees approximately 8 percent of PNC Financial's forward four quarters EPS coming from reserve releases. This is in contrast to 11 of PNC's closest 15 rivals' predicted to have 33 percent forward EPS coming from reserve releases ranging between 10.5 percent and 98.5 percent.
However, weaker-than-predicted economic recovery and lower credit quality could upset the calculations. PNC's acquisition of RBC Bank was recently closed and this is likely to detract the company's focus at least in the initial year.
Meanwhile, S&P Capital IQ predicts PNC to earn $5.46 a share on revenues of $15.177 billion for 2012, whereas the Street is expecting much higher earnings of $5.67 a share on revenues of $15.42 billion for the same period. The analyst also kept a 12-month price target of $66 with a reiteration of Buy rating.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

In new, final regulations issued Wednesday, theInternal Revenue Service (IRS) said that parents must pay a federal fine under Obamacare if their children or dependent spouses are uninsured for any part of the year.
The regulations clarify provisions of Obamacare that seem to say that a parent will be held liable for Obamacare's individual mandate penalty if they don't have insurance coverage for their children.
In its final regulations, the IRS states that parents will be made to pay the penalty (called a "shared responsibility payment") if they can claim an uninsured child or spouse as a dependent, regardless of whether they actually claim them or not.
"The proposed regulations clarify that a taxpayer is liable for the shared responsibility payment imposed with respect to any individual for a month in a taxable year for which the taxpayer may claim a personal exemption deduction for the individual (that is, the dependent) for that taxable year," the regulations state.
"Whether the taxpayer actually claims the individual as a dependent for the taxable year does not affect the taxpayer's liability for the shared responsibility payment for the individual."
In other words, if a child goes without government-defined health insurance coverage for any month of the year, their parent must pay a fine to the government, regardless of whether they claim the child as a dependent or not.
The only thing that matters to the IRS is whether the parent could claim the uninsured child as a dependent.

Live Seminar 35: Countries in Upheaval: Developing a Protection Framework in Situations Short of Armed Conflict
July 28, 2011 - 9:30am - 11:00am
Online, United States
View the recording: click here
A range of states around the world continue to experience serious violence and social disruption without the situation qualifying as an armed conflict to which the framework of international humanitarian law would apply. Questions arise as to what international legal frameworks may apply for government and humanitarian professionals working to develop a protection strategy aimed at enhancing the security of the civilian population. Amid recent or ongoing violence in places such as Syria, Bahrain, and Kyrgyzstan, this Live Web Seminar addressed the following questions:
• What protections does human rights law provide in such contexts?
• In what ways might international humanitarian law provide a relevant framework to consider?
• What accountability mechanisms and normative protections does international criminal law provide?
• What doctrines - such as Responsibility to Protect - provide a normative or operational framework to promote protection of civilians?
Naz Modirzadeh (Associate Director of HPCR) and Dustin Lewis (Program Associate) hosted the discussion.
Vincent Cochetel, The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

I am having surgery for compartment syndrome and I am going to have 2 large scars on both calve muscles. I am worried the scarring will ruin my legs, I have seen post surgery fractional laser can greatly reduce scarring 6 weeks post surgery , but I am sceptical, can u get good results from having fractional laser treatment 6 weeks after having surgery? or what would be the best option to reduce scaring? can u please get back to me ,thanks
Post Sugery Fractional Laser?
Doctor Answers 2
Pulsed Dye Laser and Fractional Laser for leg scars
Fractional lasers can improve scars, as do pulsed dye laser treatments. I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon before surgery and then speak to a plastic surgeon immediately thereafter.
Fractional lasers for scar improvement
Fractional laser can certainly improve the appearance of scars. I would recommend you carefully select the person you see for this however as these lasers require advanced training and not just a weekend course in lasers. A dermatologist with training in lasers would be your best bet as these lasers were invented and developed by dermatologists.

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Donald Trump campaigned in Bernie Sanders' hometown on Thursday, entertaining large crowds with pro-America statements and trademark Trump humor.
In the morning, thousands of Vermonters gathered outside the Flynn Center, hoping for a chance to see Trump. For the lucky few who got inside the 1,400-seat venue by 7 p.m., the candidate didn't disappoint.
"When we said we're going to come up here (to Vermont), a lot of people said, 'Why?' Most of the guys are not coming up. They're afraid to come up here because it has a tendency to be a little bit liberal. And if you look at the candidates, they're not coming up here. I'm the only one," Trump said.
"I thought it would be a nice, soft evening. We'll have 500, 600 people, we'll sit around a little fireside, we'll talk, we'll have some fun. And then I hear CNN all day long: 'This line is massive' — so it turned out to be good," he said.
Trump touched on health care, the Iranian nuclear agreement, immigration, taxes and guns, among other topics, speaking conversationally and engaging the the crowd.
"Who's going to pay for the wall?" Trump asked, referring to the U.S. border. The audience shouted back, "Mexico!"
"Who's not going to pay for the wall? Vermont!" Trump said, sparking laughter and cheers.
On Obamacare, Trump highlighted rising costs. "Deductibles are through the roof. You'll never get to use (the insurance). You have to die to use it," he said.
He also predicted that the president's signature health care law would collapse under its own weight.
"Obamacare is a dead duck. … By 2017 it's dead. It can't survive. Of course, the Republicans will probably find a way to keep it going. I'm so upset and angry with the Republicans."
On fighting ISIS, Trump criticized the Obama administration's unwillingness to bomb oil wells under ISIS control, for fear of causing environmental damage.
"What do you think Gen. Douglas MacArthur (would say) if you said, 'You can't really bomb the oil because it's bad for the environment.' You think he might say, 'I don't give a damn'? We need Douglas MacArthur — we need General Patton. These were incredible people. These are people who won."
Trump, conscientious about his venture into Bernie territory, spoke kindly of Sanders, but disagreed with his progressive policies.
"We all like Bernie. Do we like Bernie?" Trump said to mixed cheers. "Well, if you want to pay a 90 percent tax. He wants to tax at 90 percent."
Throughout the speech, protesters stood up and shouted profanities. The audience responded by chanting "Trump, Trump!" at the agitators, and Trump joined in: "Get them out. Throw them out into the cold."
In one instance, Trump used the disruptions to draw a contrast with Sanders, who lost control of a rally last August when two female Black Lives Matter protesters stole his microphone.
"They came up, screaming at (Sanders), and he retreated, and they made the speech. That won't happen with me. I promise. That was so embarrassing to watch," Trump said.
On guns, Trump blasted Obama's new executive orders on private gun sales — a slam dunk issue in Vermont. "I'll tell you the one good thing about an executive order is that the new president comes and with just a signature they're over."
Audience members had a range of reasons for why they stood in the cold all day to see Trump.
"He speaks his mind and doesn't beat around the bush. That's what I really like. He's not afraid of offending people," said Shanleigh Provost, a resident of Burlington.
Deb Wells-Stone, also of Burlington, attended Sanders' campaign launch last May and said she wanted to hear from other candidates.
"I like some of the things he has to say and I want to learn more. I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm giving everybody an equal chance," she said.
Justin Smith, of Colchester, said he's an independent voter who wants to hear from all candidates and parties. "I like to go see each side of the aisle and check out what each candidate has to say. We haven't had anyone from either side come to Vermont, outside of Bernie Sanders, of course."
Outside the Flynn Center, a large crowd of protesters shouted slogans, carried signs and held a candlelight vigil. The protest appeared to target Trump's recent comments about pausing Muslim immigration until the refugee vetting process is reevaluated. Trump made the statement following the Paris and San Bernardino, California, terrorist attacks.
Closing out the evening, Trump vowed to change America's direction.
"We're going back to strength in this country. We're going back to intelligence. We're going back to common sense. We are going to make America great again," Trump said, to rousing cheers from the crowd.

Benghazi: Another gun smokes
Perhaps this is the reason President Obama lawyered-up last month:
You might recall the departure of Mr. Obama's White House counsel. It wasn't necessarily news that Kathy Ruemmler was leaving; officials had signaled her intentions last summer. But what was news — and what now can be viewed in better context — is Ms. Ruemmler's replacement.
He's W. Neil Eggleston, the Clinton administration veteran involved in the Whitewater investigation, the probe of a sitting Agriculture secretary and the defense of former Obama aide Rahm Emanuel in the Rod Blagojevich scandal.
Now, fast on the heels of Mr. Eggleston's naming comes the smoking gun of the Obama administration's efforts to cover up its failure in the Benghazi mess that left four Americans dead, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya: An email, obtained by Judicial Watch, directly links the White House to authoring and pushing the false narrative that the attack was spontaneous, linked to an inflammatory Internet video, and not the organized terrorist attack that it was.
Incredibly, the White House is attempting to weasel its way out of its obvious lie (if not an attempt to obstruct justice), claiming the email referred to other protests in the region. Given that the Judicial Watch lawsuit that won release of the email asked specifically for Benghazi-related documents, the White House's assertion is outrageous. Bring on that congressional select committee.
Yes, Mr. President, it looks like you're going to need the services of Neil Eggleston.

Save the Shattuck Child Care Center!
The Shattuck Child Care Center provides high quality, affordable child care for working families at the Shattuck Hospital and in the Jamaica Plain community. Over the past 43 years more than 1500 children have benefitted from an early start on their education through the loving care and expertise of the Center and its staff. Two-thirds of all slots are reserved for the children of Shattuck employees. The center has been notified that it will need to move because its current building is being closed. The Commonwealth has also informed the Shattuck Child Care Center Board that it will be ending the successful, four decades long public-private partnership by withdrawing all subsidies for this amazing child care center that helps children thrive and succeed in a diverse and supportive environment. The diverse group of children at the Shattuck will be uprooted and their families will have to scramble to find care at a time when quality, affordable child care spots are limited.
The Board of the Shattuck, current and former Shattuck employee parents, community parents, and the broader Jamaica Plain community fully support the child care remaining on the Shattuck Campus, being a part of any master planning process, and continuing to receive subsidy from the Commonwealth to provide its quality educational services for children. It goes without saying that closing the Shattuck will forever impact the quality of full-day care available to local children and their families.
Governor Patrick, at the very moment that you and your administration are calling for expansion of quality early education, we call upon your administration to continue to support the Shattuck Child Care Center in remaining on the campus and in supporting the Center and the children it serves. We call upon you to work with the Board to find a solution that keeps the Center on campus and that continues a level of subsidy to the Center that is comparable with other facilities and that supports your vision of affordable quality child care. Please do not let the Shattuck Childcare Center be swept away after 43 years, when it has been a safe harbor for so many children and their families.

Perfect You
People actually use the improper definition of perfect. The dictionary defines perfect as: Conforming entirely to the description/definition an ideal type. Completion or excellence beyond practicality. Fitting the need of a certain situation/purpose. When describing perfection, we often look to being "flawless." Yet, being without flaws is theoretically impossible. To be perfect is to learn from a flaw and make adjustments based on a particular situation. When I think of perfect, I can't help but to think of my wife. There are many mistakes that we both make when raising our…Read More

Actually, the first time I thought of Wives in light of modern sitcoms
was when I saw an RSC production directed by Bill Alexander about 15
years ago. The production was in the style of the 50s. As I recall,
the letter scene was done in a beauty shop with Mistresses Ford and Page

surprisingly well. Cute program too.

Cary may have been evil or whatever, I don't know what he's done, that's his karma. He'll have to fix that himself. If no one gives him a chance to atone for his misdeeds, what incentive does he have to change?
Now it may be true he can't change, or feels he doesn't need to change. Fine. Not the point to me. See, I can't make him or anyone else change, I can only change myself, and perhaps lead by example.
Damn, I'm not saying this the way I want to, so here's a quote that says it better than I can!
"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love... true love never dies. You remember that, boy. You remember that. Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in. "

One of the most important fruits in Middle Eastern and Sephardic Jewish cooking is eggplant. Yes, I said fruit– eggplant is technically a large berry, though most cooks generally consider it a vegetable. The eggplant, also known as aubergine, has been cultivated in India for over 4,000 years. The oldest surviving mention of the fruit dates back to the 5th century in a Chinese agricultural work called Ts'i Min Yao Shu. It later made its way to Persia in the 4th century CE, where it eventually became firmly rooted as a major part of the Middle Eastern diet.
Sephardic Jews prize the eggplant as an affordable, healthy dietary staple that can be prepared in numerous ways. In fact, during a second Jewish expulsion from Spain and Portugal in 1580 (when the two countries united under one crown), eggplant became known as the "Jew's apple" because of its frequent usage in Sephardic Jewish cuisine.
Once you know how to roast an eggplant, there are a number of dishes you can make with it. Today, I'm going to share with you my favorite methods for roasting eggplant, along with some tips for ensuring a tasty result every time you roast.
I prefer roasting eggplants on the gas stove or grill. Roasting on an open flame imparts a delicate smoky flavor into the eggplant flesh. If you do not have a gas stove, you can also roast it in the oven. Both methods are described below.
Tomorrow, I'll share my recipe for classic baba ghanoush—a delicious dip made from roasted eggplant and tahini.

How to Roast Eggplant
Roasting on a Gas Range or Grill (Recommended)
- Wash and dry eggplant. Pierce it a few times with a fork to vent.
- Wrap the eggplant generously with aluminum foil—cover completely with at least 3 layers. Make sure all sides are closed tightly.
- Place foil-covered eggplant on top of the gas range grate or grill over the open flame. On my gas stove, I usually turn the flame a little higher than medium.
- If using a grill, light gas or coals and preheat the grill before you begin to roast.
- Allow eggplant to roast over the flame for 15-30 minutes, giving it a quarter every 5 minutes as it cooks. The larger the eggplant, the longer it will take to roast. Smaller eggplants (like Japanese eggplants) will roast more quickly. Don't worry about going too long-- the tough outer skin of the eggplant and the foil will protect the flesh inside from burning.
- Once the eggplant is very tender and collapsing, remove from heat with tongs and set aside. Careful, the tin foil will be extremely hot! Allow to cool inside the tin foil for a few minutes.
- Unwrap the eggplant carefully (there will be hot steam inside).
- Slice the eggplant open.
- Scoop out the roasted pulpy flesh and place it in a bowl. Discard the charred skin and the foil. There will be some residual smoky juice that collects in the bowl; you can drain it off or blend it into the eggplant, depending on the flavor you want to achieve (see Eggplant Roasting Tips, below).
Roasting in an Oven
- Preheat your oven broiler on the hottest (maximum) setting. Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Wash and dry eggplant, then slice in half lengthwise.
- Place eggplant halves flesh-side down (so the flat cut side is directly against the baking sheet).
- Roast under the broiler for 15-30 minutes until the eggplant halves are charred and the halves are beginning to collapse. The larger the eggplant, the longer it will take to roast. Smaller eggplants (like Japanese eggplants) will roast more quickly.
- Remove from oven. Check the eggplant flesh to make sure it is soft, roasted, and caramelized throughout. If any parts looked light-colored or undercooked, return to the oven to roast for a few minutes longer.
- Scoop out the roasted pulpy flesh from each half and place it in a bowl. Discard the charred skin. There will be some residual smoky juice that collects in the bowl; you can drain it off or blend it into the eggplant, depending on the flavor you want to achieve (see Eggplant Roasting Tips, below).
Eggplant Roasting Tips
- Depending on where you live and what kind of eggplants you are cooking, you may from time to time encounter a bitter tasting eggplant. This is because as eggplants mature, they become richer in alkaloids, which cause a bitter flavor. Some people don't mind this bitter flavor; others dislike it. If you are concerned about bitterness, there are a few ways to combat the issue:
- 1) Choose smaller, younger eggplants for roasting. The younger and more slender the eggplant is (ex. Japanese eggplant), the less bitter and stringy it will be.
- 2) If you slice the eggplant in half prior to roasting, you can salt each half to combat bitterness. Sprinkle an even layer of salt across the white flesh. Let the eggplant sit for 30 minutes. Liquid droplets will form on top of the flesh. Rinse off this liquid, which can contain bitterness. Pat dry. Proceed with roasting.
- 3) If you slice the eggplant in half prior to roasting, there may be some large visible seeds inside. You can scrape out the largest ones using a small spoon; these larger seeds tend to hold bitterness.
- 4) After roasting, remove the eggplant pulp and let it rest in a bowl for at least 30 minutes. A smoky liquid will collect in the bowl. Taste the liquid; if it has a bitter taste to it, drain the liquid and discard before proceeding with your recipe.
- Personally, I very rarely encounter the bitterness issue. I prefer to keep some of the smoky juice from the roasting and add it to whatever dish I'm making—it imparts a lovely, smoky flavor to dips like baba ghanoush.

Duration 2 hours
During summer of 2000, Mona, a young Druze woman living in the Golan Heights, prepares for her wedding to a successful Syrian actor. Permission to cross the demilitarized zone is extremely rare and must be granted by both sides under special circumstances with the understanding that when she crosses she cannot return to even visit her family. The Israeli exit stamp causes a UN liaison officer to trudge back and forth between Israeli and Syrian officials, giving us a glimpse of the extreme frustration that is daily life for Palestinians.

Personal Injury Law
Personal Injury Law Question? Ask Personal Injury Lawyers.
To settle meaning our Insurance will settle?
I did not quite understand what you said.
"It would be suggested to settle. If they recover they would need to notify and return funds to their insurer"
I did report everything to the insurance company already. Is it up to me to call the injured party that I want to settle or should it go through insurance to decide to settle?
When insurance decide to settle, can the injured party come after me again for emotional/depression injury after settlement?
This is a follow up on my earlier question. I spoke with the injured party, they said that their lawyer told them that they will file two cases against us, one for personal injury and a separate one for emotional damage but both will be filed the same time. They said I cannot escape the other.
Would not the insurance cover both? They are pushing us to settle monetarily personally without lawyers involve.
If we don't settle now, they will go to media and damage our company. Is that even legal while it was already reported to insurance to take care of?

Predictors of Significant Fibrosis in Chronic Hepatitis B Patients With Low Viremia
Abdo AA, Bzeizi KI, Babatin MA, Alsohaibani F, Almana H, Alsaad KO, Alghamdi H, Al-Hamoudi W, Alswat K, Alfaleh FZ, Myers RP, Sanai FM. J Clin Gastroenterol. 2013 Sep 25. [Epub ahead of print]

BACKGROUND AND AIM:: The data on the prevalence and predictors of significant fibrosis (≥F2, METAVIR) in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients with low viremia are limited. We aimed to assess both the prevalence predictors of ≥F2 fibrosis in hepatitis B envelope antigen-negative patients with HBV DNA <20,000 IU/mL.
METHODS:: Hepatitis B envelope antigen-negative patients (n=213) with mean HBV DNA <2000 IU/mL (n=97) and HBV DNA 2000 to 20,000 IU/mL (n=116) were included and all had liver biopsy. Variables significantly associated with ≥F2 fibrosis on an univariate analysis were included in a multivariate logistic regression model.
RESULTS:: Overall, 40 (18.8%) patients had ≥F2 fibrosis, with no difference between those with mean HBV DNA <2000 IU/mL (19.6%) compared with patients with HBV DNA of 2000 to 20,000 IU/mL (18.1%; P=0.782). Fibrosis ≥F2 was similar in patients with HBV DNA <2000 versus 2000 to 20,000 IU/mL in relation to varying alanine aminotransferase thresholds (P>0.05), and was less frequent in persistently normal alanine aminotransferase patients (13.6%) when compared with those with elevated or fluctuating levels (25.3%, P=0.030). Fewer patients under 40 years of age had ≥F2 fibrosis (12.5%) as compared with older ones (28.2%; P=0.004). Logistic regression analysis identified higher aspartate aminotransferase [odds ratio (OR), 6.21; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.48-15.54; P<0.0001], lower albumin (OR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.78-0.95; P=0.002), platelet count (OR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.98-0.99; P=0.013), and age (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01-1.09; P=0.024) as independent predictors of significant fibrosis.
CONCLUSIONS:: A small but significant minority of HBV patients with low viremia harbor significant fibrosis, although its rate is not different in those with viremia above or below 2000 IU/mL. Our findings may guide in decisions regarding liver biopsy and treatment in this category of patients.

L AFAYETTE — A decision is expected by January in a nationwide search for the new director of the Lafayette Regional Airport, a position that unexpectedly became open when longtime Director Greg Roberts resigned in June after allegedly pointing a fake gun at an engineer during a business meeting.
The airport began advertising the position Aug. 15 and has set a Sept. 26 deadline for applications.
A five-member search committee will vet the applicants and send its choices to the Lafayette Airport Commission for a final decision that likely will be made by January, Commission Chairman Matt Cruse said.
"We have already received applications from all over the country," he said.
The pool so far is made up of five applicants from Louisiana and 10 from other states, according to information from Larry Sides, of Sides & Associates, a firm assisting in the search process.
Sides said the names will not be publicly available until they are handed over to the search committee after the Sept. 26 application deadline.
The search committee is made up of Commissioners Paul Guilbeau, Valerie Garrett and Tim Skinner, Stone Energy President and CEO David Welch and Lafayette City-Parish Councilman Kenneth Boudreaux.
"I'm going to be looking for someone who sees Lafayette as fit, someone who wants to be here and wants to get involved and engaged in the community, even beyond the airport itself," Boudreaux said. "I will be looking for someone who can see Lafayette as a permanent stay and who could really buy in to what we are trying to do here."
The search committee will conduct first-round interviews via video conferencing, Sides said.
Once the top applicants are chosen, representatives from the search committee will travel to the communities of the applicants for in-person interviews, then decide on the short list to forward to the Airport Commission, which will bring the top applicants to Lafayette for interviews before making a final decision, Sides said.
"Their goal is to bring out the very best," he said.
The position will pay $100,000 to $155,000 a year, depending on experience and eduction.
The only requirement is that applicants have at least a four-year college degree and some form of leadership experience.
Sides said the applicants also must agree to the public release of their names.
Desired qualifications include 10 years of senior management experience at an airport, accreditation from the American Association of Airport Executives, and a degree in business management, aviation management, engineering or a related field.
The aviation director position became vacant June 15 when Roberts resigned shortly after being placed on administrative leave for allegedly pointing a fake gun at an engineer during a disagreement at a June 11 airport business meeting.
The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office investigated the incident and turned over the findings to Lafayette Parish District Attorney Mike Harson, who declined to pursue charges, citing the wishes of the engineer to drop the issue.
Airport Deputy Director Mike Burrows has been named interim director.

A YORK renewable energy firm is helping a North Yorkshire couple in their bid to create the greenest hotel in the region.
The Cliffemount Hotel and Restaurant in Runswick Bay, near Whitby, is owned and managed by husband and wife team Ian and Carol Rae.
The couple bought the boutique-style hotel in 2005 and have made a six figured investment in a refurbishment, which now includes the introduction of a number of eco-measures.
Mr and Mrs Rae have installed a biomass heating and hot water system which uses waste to produce electricity.
The biomass system has been installed in the grounds of the hotel by Duncan Renewables, from ockwith.
The Cliffemount is now planning on installing solar panels, and in addition, Mr and Mrs Rae are working alongside head chef, David Spencer, to keep food miles to a minimum by using local suppliers and producers where possible.
The fish comes from local fishermen in Runswick Bay when in season, meat and poultry from Sykes House Farm in Beverly and R and J Butchers in Kirkby Malzeard near Ripon, some of the fruit and vegetables are supplied by the Easington Farm Shop, and eggs, poultry and rare breed pork comes from Martin Greenback from Bob's Banteys in Mickleby, only two miles from the hotel.
Mr Rae said: "We're trying our best to do our bit to help the environment. We're in a very beautiful, unspoilt part of the world and that needs protecting however we can."`

Picked up a 4R75 from an 04 Mustang today.
Going to have a professional rebuild done with some upgraded components. Apparently these transmissions are pretty stout from the factory so a refresh with some higher end parts should suffice for the first power level of this build.
Future upgrades will include a stall, rpm to be decided once we shakedown the motor a little. If need a transbrake may find its way in as well.
I think initially I will run a Transgo manual…

I bought this car because I loved the old school look.
Having previously owned 8 Camaros this was quite a switch. Even though I was a Chevy guy I always appreciated nice cars no matter the make.
So, for 20 grand I get a nice looking ride and even though it has a 6 cylinder it has as much horsepower as the V8s of just a few years before.
I was going to just buy a used Mustang but as I was waiting for my "new" car to get cleaned up my wife kept commenting on the nice Yellow Pony…

New Delhi, May 12: The CBI formed a special investigation team today to probe the inter-state deposit-mobilisation racket, including the Saradha scam in Bengal, with the thrust on the larger conspiracy involving politicians, bureaucrats, regulatory body officials and other influential people.
Led by Rajeev Singh, joint director (northeast), the special investigation team (SIT) will be made up of CBI officers from Calcutta, Odisha, the Northeast and Bihar.
The Supreme Court had on Friday overruled the Mamata Banerjee government's objections to order a CBI probe into the estimated Rs 10,000-crore scandal across states, with particular reference to Bengal, Odisha, Assam and Tripura. It also cited the possibility of international money-laundering.
"This is a very big scam and we are taking it very seriously. The SIT has started collecting all the relevant documents before registering the FIR in the scandal," agency director Ranjit Sinha told The Telegraph.
He said the agency would ask the Bengal government to hand over the papers and documents soon.
"Politicians and influential people seem to be involved, and the thrust of our probe will be on the larger conspiracy. We are taking legal opinion on whether to register one FIR in the case or more," a senior agency officer said.
An audit report has pegged the scale of the Saradha scam in Bengal at Rs 2,459 crore. Several Trinamul Congress leaders and associates face allegations of Saradha Group links.
The CBI will also probe officials of regulatory bodies such as Sebi, the Registrar of Companies and the Reserve Bank of India.
