Very Hungry Caterpillar
Let's step once again into the role of the unconvinced, perhaps even curmudgeonly or fool-hearted editor: What harsh rejection letters might the authors of some of our favorite hit books have had to endure?
This issue's contribution comes from Kristina Wojtaszek, who tackled Eric Carle's children's classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
March 2, 1968
Dear Mr. Carle,
Thank you for the submission of your colorful book THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR. We appreciate all efforts to bring the natural world to life for our young readers. Unfortunately, I found quite a few holes in your story.
I'm going to assume you meant your main character to be a representation of the azalea caterpillar (Datana major). This is the closest match I can make to your fearsome, redheaded caricature. It seems you intended the caterpillar to be the larva of a butterfly (in which case you should have called its "home" a chrysalis), but this species is in fact a drab moth. I'm sure you can see how this could be quite confusing for a budding
The funny of Consistent Tone
If you find yourself having a difficult time sustaining one tone over a long work, try these three tricks.
1. Find a paragraph that sounds exactly the way you want to sound for this work, and tape it to your computer so that it's always in front of you.
2. Each time you're about to return to the piece, spend 20 minutes reading the work of an author who writes in the tone you're after. We're natural mimics. You might try taking this a step further by more closely examining the sentence rhythms and word choices and looking for ways to make them your own. John Lukacs once said, "Style begins the way fashion begins: Somebody admires how the other man dresses and adapts it for himself."
3. Starts and finishes are especially important to tone. When revising your work, try moving some of your best sentences, the ones with energy and just the right tone, up to the top of your document: "I'm so looking forward to Christmas this year. It will be the only
Friends Who Hated Each Other
1. Jar Jar Binks and Liam Neeson (Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace)
Though they were on-screen allies in The Phantom Menace, Binks and Neeson despised each other in real life. Binks said Neeson's off-camera pranks and goofs created a silly atmosphere on set, which detracted from the serious tone of the film. Neeson thought Binks was a stick in the mud who didn't know how to have a good time. Allegedly the two haven't spoken in years.
2. Mister Rogers and King Friday (Mister Rogers' Neighborhood)
These two had a falling out in the '60s when King Friday tried to make the Neighborhood of Make-Believe a Communist state. Rogers, a staunch capitalist, called Friday "a dang dirty red… pardon my language" in an interview with Starzmagazine. Friday didn't even attend Rogers' funeral in 2003.
3. Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy (The Muppets)
Kermit was notoriously distant from the other Muppets. After shooting a scene he would reportedly walk up his trailer stairs, stop, sing two verses
Taking Care of My Grandmother's Safety and Health is Important to Me
My parents were big fans of Tennessee because they were both born there, just as their own parents and grandparents were. I was born in the middle of the US in a state that no one ever really talks about. When my mother told me that my grandmother could no longer live alone, I volunteered to help out. Grandmother's home was much too large for her to deal with anymore, but I knew there were plenty of Newport News VA apartments that I could live in with her and we would do just fine. Mom said she would mull it over for awhile and let me know. I love my grandmother dearly, so I was willing to do whatever necessary to make sure that she stayed safe.
I knew from my father's side of the family that one of the elders needed help, but refused all help from the adult children who offered to step in. That person had dementia, and as it progressed, they ended up getting lost one day on a simple drive to the store. She was in a car accident, and she ended up in the hospital, as did the people in the other car that
Be an Online Critique Geek
Not so long ago, when you were ready to share your writing, your only option was to collect a few creative people with printouts of their manuscripts and bring them together in the same place. Many writers still critique this way—sitting together around a café table or living room. The feedback they receive and the relationships they build are an important part of their writing lives.
But today, we have more choices. The Internet offers possibilities most of us never imagined, and the evolution of critique forums is no exception. Some writers seem to think online critique groups are simply a fallback for those who can't find an in-person group—but in fact, online forums offer their own unique set of advantages for critiquers. More and more writers are making active choices to critique online, and they're reaping the benefits.
Whether you're considering critiquing online, or already using these forums but wondering if you're approaching them the best way, read on to find out how to master the domain.

Everybody has their reasons for communicating on the Web, from a tight schedule to a portable lifestyle to an introverted personality. Among
Build Platform in 5 Minutes a Day
But as long as you view your writing as art and your self-promotion efforts as the furthest thing from art, your chances of ramping up a successful 21st-century writing career are going to remain slim to none.
These days, there's an art to writing and an art to self-promotion. From the moment you start putting words to the page, it's never too early to start thinking about how you're going to share them. And once you begin to see your writing and promotional efforts as equally artful, something wonderful starts to happen: You find readers.
Books aren't written overnight—they're developed one day at a time. And it's the same with our platforms, which comprise all the ways we make ourselves visible to our readers. The idea that you need a platform might seem overwhelming at first. But if you consistently take small steps to put yourself out there, before you know it, you'll have built a strong, sturdy foundation for your work.
So, if you're the kind of writer who prefers being read to being unknown (who doesn't?), here are 50 quick, simple ways to launch your platform into action. Think of each small step as

The epic humor on this site is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud and continuously spam all your friends on Facebook.

The Funny Moment is Writing While Thinking Like a Comedy Writer
Does it sometimes feel as if your writing is a dog chasing its tail you circle around and around, but keep returning to the same themes, characters and ideas? But does the thought of going down a new path cause your palms to sweat and your heart to beat like a hummingbird who's downed a double espresso? If so, you may have SWEATS: Serious Writer Experiencing Anxiety and Timidity Syndrome. The surest sign: You have on occasion referred to yourself as a "Serious Writer" without cracking a smile.
Fortunately, you don't need medication to cope with your ailment all you need is a shot of Comedy Writing 101.
It doesn't matter what writing style you call home; every writer can benefit from learning a few new tricks. If you're a fan of such bestselling authors as Carl Hiaasen, Janet Evanovich, Christopher Moore or Maureen Dowd, you know that humor can be a great tool in many different genres. But beyond that, the reckless act of trying to be funny can free any writer from the fear of taking chances and boost creativity in unexpected ways.
With that in mind, here are 10 ways you can improve
Methods for Capital Punishment
They discontinued the electric chair in Florida because they said it wasn't safe. It was called "Old Sparky" a cute cuddly Dalmatian of a name. They said it was cruel and unusual punishment because when they strapped someone to it, the head caught fire. Sounds like it was doing the job to me.
We've gotten soft in the capital punishment department. Texas was one of the last states to hang people and it became the first to administer lethal injection. From hanging to lethal injection. And before you can kill someone with lethal injection, state law says you must first dip the needle in alcohol.
Whatever happened to boiling people in oil? Or the guillotine? Or hot lead? Or stoning people? Now you have to go to Saudi Arabia for good old-fashioned executions like that.
What is up with the death penalty? First it takes 30 years to exhaust all the appeals and when we finally do "off someone" it's done in a manner similar to the Humane Society—while the guy being executed is there for eating 20 people.
Now I don't want to soapbox here, but I have a few new ideas for
Gas Powered Aggressions
There are several ways you can use your God-given ability to produce weaponized shitclouds for personal satisfaction and enjoyment in the workplace. I refer to this category of passive-aggressive office maneuvers as "Fart Attacks." We'll begin the discussion with one of my favorites: Elevator Farts.
1. Elevator Farts
There are three types of elevator farts:
- Those that occur in a crowded elevator.
- Solo bombs dropped immediately before exiting the elevator and left as a surprise for the next passenger.
- One-on-one, psycho farts.
Farts in a crowded elevator require a hardened, unflinching poker face, confidence, silent farting ability (see "Fart Attack Diet" below), and most of all, bravery. It will be extremely difficult not to laugh or make eye contact with the other passengers while you're holding your breath. In the aftermath, just remind yourself that it doesn't matter what they were thinking, or talking, about before the fart, because it's all they will be able to think about after it happens. The best part of the crowded elevator fart is that if you keep it quiet, they will have no idea who is responsible.
Solo bombs require timing and speed. You have to

The Zika virus spreads through the Olympic Village, jeopardizing The Games. However, after receiving a heartfelt apology from the Olympic Committee, Zika decides to be the bigger man and leave Brazil.
Severed body parts wash ashore during the Women's Beach Volleyball Final, once again raising concerns about safety… but after Bob Costas lightens the mood with a few good-natured Robert Durst jokes, the incident is completely forgotten.

She Doesn't Understand
There are some things those without a penis just don't understand. Though well-known facts among men, woman may not know of the several ways he pees. But let me tell you ladies, there's more to urinating than unleashing the spout, draining the bladder, and calling it a day.
Here's a short guide to six ways he pees that you may not know about.
1. The Fire Hose
Peeing can be a bore if he doesn't know how to spice up his bathroom time, and if the conditions are right, he can do just that with the Fire Hose. After the beast is loosed from his zippered cage, his hands hang limp at his sides and other objects, uh-hum, limp to the front.
As the pressure builds from his beer-filled bladder, it is released in a glorious, uncontrolled stream, causing his member to flail about like a fireman's hose, bringing back to him all of the hopes and dreams of his youth. Making the calendar, sliding down the pole to the sound of blaring alarms, riding the ladder truck and smashing doors with his ax. A manly dream.
2. The
Discussion in Your Women's Studies Class
The premise: gather together a bunch of educated, politically active millennial women to have a lively discourse on the issues of today, and the competing opinions will be fascinating! As a professor, you salivate over the possibility of contentious exchanges over sensitive issues. Your spine tingles with the thought of the abortion debate…
But if after several hours you find your hunger for debate and discourse still not sated, it is quite possible your women's studies discussion is going nowhere.
Here is a handy list to help you ascertain if the discussion has slipped into an irreversible and possibly dangerous state of mind-numbing dullness.
1. Students are running out of phrases to express their agreement with one another.
You have blasted through the straightforward "I agree with Samantha" and "Like what Hannah was saying…" to the more creative "To piggyback off of what Miriam said…" and "In the same vein as Sara…" and students are now clearly scraping the bottom of the agreement barrel, beginning their thoughts with such phrases as, "To augment the most recent statement by adding all of the key phrases I learned as a women's studies major…" and
Made-Up Indie Bands You'll Never Hear This Year
They're new, they're obscure, they don't even exist. But that doesn't stop me from sharing them with you.
1. Porcine Fingerhut Damage
If you're looking at the name and thinking, "Guided By Voices meets Neutral Milk Hotel," then BINGO! No, actually PFD are closer to an unholy (and very entertaining) 3-way marriage of Das Racist, Fleet Foxes, and Neil Diamond—with a pinch of Neu and maybe Boris thrown in.
Plus, the upcoming self-titled album's reported cover art (which can only be described as "fluid" by words alone) is kind of a mindblower. Definitely worth the reported $42.50 cost of admission. Add the limited-run babyshit brown/green vinyl, and BAM! Instant aesthetic masterpiece. You may not like it, but you're supposed to (new album and title TBA).
2. Sheldon Roth and the Papal Cuts
When you "take on pretension as theater and concept," as Sheldon Roth is wont to do in his live shows, you had better damn well do it right. And that he does. The ubiquitous grand piano is oft lounged upon but never played; the spotlight dwells upon an empty stool. Roth's shadowy backing band, the Papal Cuts,
America's New Favorite Dick Is Richard
By day he dons his mask and hides out under the un-assuming name "Penisman." He drives around incognito in a van called the PeePeeMobile (at least until his lawsuit with Oscar-Myer is settled and he can go back to calling it the Weinermobile) and stops at local high and junior high schools to warn innocent children of the dangers of pre-marital sex.
Dick Peter Johnson roams the streets of skid row, the halls of the prisons, and the cul-de-sacs of suburbia in search of the scum of the earth.What nobody knows, however, is that this mild-manner pseudo-superhero is actually the mysterious and powerful Dick Peter Johnson, dark vigilante.
Loved by the public, hated by the police, and always stalked by television reporter Holly Hyman, Dick Peter Johnson roams the streets of skid row, the halls of the prisons, and the cul-de-sacs of suburbia in search of the scum of the earth. The rapists, child molesters, the animal bonkers.
By night Dick Peter Johnson travels in his 1989 Yugo dressed in jeans and a plaid shirt. Nobody has ever seen him this way. Nobody would believe a superhero would fight crime with his own birth
Michael Phelps Can't
The U.S. is in the midst of gathering Olympic medals like a mosquito collects blood. Michael Phelps, the half German/half shark "Baltimore Bullet," has continued to dominate the pool as always, bringing his total medal count to a record 1,673 gold, 1,219 silver, and 2½ bronze. Though his superior respiratory system includes a combination of larger than normal lungs and gills located behind his earlobes, making him the perfect specimen in and out of a Speedo, there are, however, still some things I can do that Michael Phelps can't. Here are six of them.
1. I can dance the "swim."
Phelps may be able to cut through the water like a barracuda on crack, but can he stand in the middle of a dance floor, plug his nose, and wiggle himself down until he's resting on his heels? I dare say his lanky arms would make him look downright foolish. I, on the other hand, am built like a sea star, allowing me to dance the 1960's craze with grace and agility. In fact, I wouldn't doubt that I could best Phelps at a "mashed potato" contest either—dancing or eating.

Assault rifles are light and accurate, but no sportsman is going to pour a barrage of hot lead into a deer.
The sportsman Channel was touting its upcoming new series, "Amazing America with Sarah Palin."
Palin, the former reality star on TLC, is launching her new show in April on the sportsman Channel.
I am both a sportsman and a sports fan and I have nothing but good wishes for the athletes coming to Sochi.
He wanted to be like Papa when he grew up—novelist, sportsman, womanizer, and legend in his own time.
How it is that the British sportsman has become the dupe of certain men who set themselves up for reputable gunmakers I know not.
Foxes, hares, and partridges, are the game of your sportsman.
On such occasions he was generally accompanied by Dicky Duff, who had become as good a sportsman as himself.
Cards and dice are the real weapons of the "sportsman," but particularly the former.
Then the starost paid a long visit to Yegor, the ochotnik (sportsman) of the village, and made certain arrangements.

Kiki is a 13 year-old witch. This is the age that all witches must live for a year on their own. She finds the seaside town of Korico, and starts up a delivery service, but must think on her feet when she mysteriously loses the ability to fly on her broomstick.
Hard on the heels of the cinema release of Spirited Away came this 1989 animated delight from the same director - the legendary Hayao Miyazaki - in which a teen witch strives to make a living in a bustling European city.
As ever, Miyazaki effortlessly creates an alternate world - here it's a '50s Europe where neither World War ever occurred - and fills them with wonderous energy, colour and life. In the U.S. dubbed version, you'll get Kirsten Dunst reading Kiki, and the late Phil Hartman - he of The Simpsons' Troy McLure, among many, many others - lending voice to her cat.
Visually close to Spirited Away's level - the seaside town looks radiant - the film is actually more accessible to Western viewers, with Kiki's journey to find herself told with effortless charm and humour. Disney-style warmth without the songs and schmaltz.
A terrific alternative to the diabetic's nightmare that is most of Disney's output, Kiki's Delivery Service takes pride of place in Miyazaki's exceptional body of work.

Facebook® Group Name Calling Has 2014 Bare Chest Calendar Model Deleting His Own Words
Facebook® Group Flame War Over Name Calling Has 2014 Bare Chest Calendar Model Deleting His Own Words
original image (1260x1680)
Monday, May 27, 2013
By David Francisco
Recently I joined a Facebook® group that claims it caters to the leather and kink communities and is operated by well-known San Francisco leather aficionado Race Bannon. The group is called Race's Bar. After asking to join I received an email from the moderator informing me that the group was strictly leather and kink and to remain on topic when posting messages. I'm not really into leather or kink, but I joined because many of my friends are and it was suggested to me this group had solid information about community events.
Once my membership was approved I got an email from someone welcoming me. I was told that my initiation had been prepared and was awaiting me with "razor blades and lemon juice". It seemed to me that the welcoming committee must have attended the same charm school as Jeffrey Dahmer.
Furthermore, the group wasn't strictly about leather or kink as I had been told. Announcements of drag shows, cabaret fundraisers and other non-leather and non-kink activities take up much of the page space. The penchant for off-topic messages was highlighted on Sunday night when I discovered a post about name-calling.
Nudist defender and outspoken activist Mitch Hightower had posted the following message:
"I read a post on the Petrelis blog today that was very upsetting. It seems Michael went to a public event earlier this week and someone said to him in front of a group: 'I remember Michael because he has an unattractive POZ face". Shocking as that is, even more shocking to me was the person who said it. Most of us gay men figured out early on in our lives that no one would ever be meaner to us than other gay men. Unfortunately being over the age of fifty hasn't improved the maturity or behavior of enough of us".
A link included in the posting led to the Petrelis Blog where Act-Up member and long-time AIDS activist Michael Petrelis details the unfortunate experience that happened to him during the Harvey Milk Day celebrations on May 22, 2013. The crux of the post focuses on the alleged mean-spirited remark from another event attendee. Read the post on the Petrelis Blog here: http://www.mpetrelis.blogspot.com/2013/05/a-queen-tells-me-i-have-unattractive.html
The message from Hightower in the Race's Bar group elicited dozens of comments. Many of the postings suggested Petrelis is a bully and deserves whatever he gets. Others took offense to the name-calling, including Hightower.
"We're never going to get anywhere as long as we are so busy being mean to each other", Hightower wrote in one posting.
While Petrelis did not identify the person by name that made the statement about his "POZ" face, he did publish a photo of the suspected potty-mouth. The image featured flamboyant and often colorfully costumed Bruce Beaudette, standing next to a much younger man identified only as "Jose".
The dialog about the posting from Hightower in the Race's Bar group heated up with a discussion thread that resulted in several different people resorting to calling each other names.
2014 Bare Chest Calendar model Kelly Rivera Hart published this post: "These two are both nut-jobs, you can't believe anything Michael [Petrelis] claims".
It was only seconds before Hightower responded. "Calling people names does not make them look bad, it makes you look bad for doing it. This is a very poor example for someone on the Bare Chest Calendar to be setting for the rest of the community".
Others called Hightower on the carpet for defending Petrelis who many dismissed as pushy and needlessly obnoxious. Group member Jeff A. Bowles questioned, "Nothing like good old-fashioned threats to shut someone down, huh, Mitch"?
Hart defended himself about the comment, deleted his original post with the nut-job reference and subsequently "unfriended" Hightower.
The message thread in the Race's Bar group continued, with several people relating to being verbally abused for their appearance.
"This is extremely common, yet hidden, and not discussed much. In reality there is no such thing as a POZ face, so this is simply blatant discrimination. I cannot say how many times I've faced it", said group member Matt Sharp.
Race's Bar group member Dennis Chase added, "There is lipodystrophy that has occurred in some people with HIV, giving their faces a gaunter look. Of course, that still doesn't justify some bitchy queen ragging on it".
Hart added, "I feel sorry for people who have been deceived enough to defend bullies. Physically pushing around people to get what you want, which Michael has done too many times over the years, makes it difficult to be concerned or even believe these claims".
Hightower retorted, "You can't justify your own bad behavior by pointing out the bad behavior of someone else".
Bowles posted that the message thread made its point and should be stopped.
Hightower sardonically agreed, "Of course the thread should stop. We certainly don't want anyone else getting their covers pulled on social media and having to endure any embarrassment as a result of their own conduct".
Race's Bar Facebook® group moderator Bannon did not answer emails asking for comment and did not post to the message thread in the group himself. On Sunday night during the aforementioned dust-up, Bannon was busy posting about the latest International Mister Leather winner. Because of course the outcome of a beauty contest is much more important that how people treat each other but it definitely was on topic.
Beaudette and Hart also failed to respond to emails asking for comments to be included in this article, as did the staff at the Bare Chest Calendar.
Petrelis, who notes that he is not on Facebook®, sent this message, "I sure heard all the criticism about the nudists who ain't porn stars and all the attacks on their shapes and sizes and looks. I was inspired to speak up about what was said to me in part, because of the body freedom some of my cohorts are fighting for".
Hightower had this to say when contacted, "Name-calling and other hate speech from within our own community is a big part of why many gay people feel disenfranchised and that leads to people jumping off bridges. There is a meeting on Wednesday night about suicide prevention and many people from the Race's Bar group will be present. We'll see if the people at this meeting are really interested in affecting change or if this is just another feel-good leather-and-lace show so certain people can maintain their illusion of popularity and social status by claiming that they had an important meeting so that means they're doing something. Too many people just want to avoid controversy, unless they can be anonymous online, and we're not going to see anything change without it".
Activist and community leader Veronika Fimbres, who is on the panel for the Wednesday night suicide prevention meeting wrote, "Their HIV/AIDS riddled bodies wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for Michael's [Petrelis] face and his fierce activism".
Other panel members for the Wednesday night meeting include, Race Bannon, Michael Brandon, Blue Buddha, Jorge Vieto Jr. and moderator Timothy Vollme.

New Pew Center Report Summarizes Federal Agency Adaptation Activities
We've been talking and hearing a lot about the notion of "mainstreaming" consideration of climate change into decision-making processes and figuring out ways to adapt to an already changing climate. A lot has been happening on the adaptation front at the Federal level – and we've been trying to keep you posted on all of the new initiatives. It was getting a bit challenging to keep up with everything and so over the last couple of months we've been compiling a lot of what we know into one place. The resulting report—Climate Change Adaptation: What Federal Agencies are Doing—is now available on our website.
As the report illustrates, Federal agency activities are numerous and diverse. Some agencies, such as the Department of Defense, are mainstreaming climate change adaptation by updating existing strategies or policies to include climate change impacts and adaptation options. Other agencies are more focused on enabling other entities—state and local governments, businesses, and communities—in furthering their adaptation planning and projects, as NOAA is doing with Climate Services. Figure 1 below includes some additional examples from the report. Of course, not all federal projects addressing climate change impacts or adaptations are included in this report. We've tried to at least include instances where a Federal department or agency has implemented specific institutional mechanisms, developed an agency-wide adaptation plan or set of policies, or is providing adaptation resources or tools.
Happy reading – and if you are familiar with any Federal programs or initiatives that should be included in the report, please send them my way. We plan to expand on the information included in this new report with the hope that it will serve as a resource for collaboration and information sharing amongthe growing adaptation community.
Heather Holsinger is a Senior Policy Fellow and Program Manager for Adaptation

Wouldn't it be great if you you could keep all of your social networks up to date with whatever you're blogging, and what's more, cross post between blogs?
At least, that's the theory behind Six Apart's new Facebook application, Blog It.
Great in theory – but light years to go in practice.
Yesterday, I saw several sites gushing over Blog It. I thought it would definitely be worth a try. I added it to my Facebook from this link and configured it to work with my two Typepad blogs, my main WordPress.org blog and what I think of as my social networks (Twitter, Pownce and Tumbir and of course Facebook).
Writing my post in Blog It reminded me of the early days of blogging: hand-entered HTML, no rich media, no categories, no trackbacks and I hope Firefox's spellchecking is on. All that – or at least some sort of basic html editing buttons – is coming, according to Six Apart's intro video.
Unfortunately, the real pain began after I hit the Post button. While my Typepad blogs and my Tumbir site updated faithfully, 30 45 minutes later the little in-progress icons for my WordPress.org, Twitter and Pownce are spinning pointlessly away.
Are these updates lost in some queue at Six Apart, Facebook or somewhere in between? I have no idea, but I won't try this again for six months or so until the bugs are squashed, basic features such being able to group my real friend networks apart from my public networks is enabled, plus some basic blogging stuff like categories and trackbacks are enabled for the services that can use them. Make that nine months.
In fairness though, Blog It's Update Status screen worked flawlessly posting my warn-off about Blog It to Facebook, Twitter and Pownce a moment ago – so as they say, your mileage my vary.

Can this be related to the fact that I mixed the use of the CLI beadm commands and the GUI Boot Manager in the past? Can a BE show up damaged after a few days and function normally before? See also https://trac.pcbsd.org/ticket/1138, where I describe the GUI showing the wrong BE as the default one. The actual BE I am using right now was created with the GUI. I hope this one does not break to soon so that I might be of help with additional information. The PCBSD Disk Manager also does not work anymore.

Weeds: Scoop on episode 8×02 "A Beam of Sunshine" from E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos
Here's some scoop on Weeds from Kristin Dos Santos' Spoiler Chat Daily for Tuesday 7/3/12.
Hunter in Hollywood, Calif.: I absolutely loved the season premiere of Weeds! I had a hunch it was going to be Nancy, but the shooter was still a huge mystery to me!
More like a game of Clue! We were pleasantly surprised to learn that it was an all-grown-up Tim, in the bushes with the rifle. Phew! Glad to finally say that out loud, but we're forgetting what this show is really about: weed! In next week's episode not only do we see a pretty significant time jump, we also meet Nancy's newest competitor and he's quite the clown. Not to worry, in true Botwin style she'll wipe that painted smile off his face quicker than you can say "balloon animal."

Gov. Bobby Jindal started with a joke and then quickly dove into religious freedom within the political arena Saturday at Liberty University.
Jindal traveled to Lynchburg, Va., to deliver the commencement address at the evangelical Christian college founded by the late Jerry Falwell. The governor received an honorary humanities degree.
The governor drew big laughs by poking fun at President Barack Obama's much quoted and ultimately incorrect statement that people could keep their original health plans under the Affordable Care Act.
"I thought about telling you if you like your health care plan you can keep your health care plan," Jindal said, pausing as the crowd erupted into laughter. "But I didn't want to lie to you," he said, continuing.
The full speech is on the governor's website.
As he prepares for a possible White House run, Jindal is embracing conservative Christians by denouncing what he characterizes as a silent war on their beliefs. He said the Obama administration and the entertainment industry are embracing intolerance and trying to silence conservatives' religious beliefs.
It's a theme he's nurtured through his defense of the "Duck Dynasty" patriarch's anti-homosexuality statements and his denouncement of a Michigan religious court case that actually started under the Bush administration.
Jindal highlighted his background Saturday - describing himself as the son of Hindu parents - and told graduates about an early political debate. He said his advisers prepped him on how to answer a question about the most important moment in his life. With a wife and a baby daughter, Jindal said he easily could have pointed to his engagement or his daughter's birth. Instead, he said, he decided to be honest as his advisers squirmed in their seats.
"I told the audience the truth that day, that the most significant moment in my life was the moment I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal lord and savior," the governor said.
Liberty University is a conservative college with a history of attracting big political names to its campus. Ronald Reagan spoke there before becoming president.
Graduation day was a mix of gospel music, applause for the military and news headlines. Sitting in the audience were the Benham twins, Liberty graduates who recently lost their HGTV show, supposedly because it came to light that one of the twins protested against abortion and homosexuality.
The college's president, Jerry Falwell Jr., told graduates that they are entering a world increasingly hostile to their Christian values. He also reminded them of his father's advice to get a ring by spring, asking those who met their significant others on campus to stand.
Introducing Jindal, Falwell rattled off a number of quotes about the governor, referring to him as a phenom, the next Ronald Reagan and possibly the nation's next president. He said Jindal ruthlessly eliminated burdensome taxes in Louisiana and embraced pro-business policies.
Unlike former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who carefully skirted his Mormon faith when he was at the conservative college, Jindal freely referred to his Hindu background and his Catholicism.
After highlighting his background, Jindal returned to the Obama administration, telling graduates that the president is ignoring deeply held beliefs as an inconvenience to an ever-expanding regulatory state.
Like Falwell, Jindal criticized HGTV for cancelling the show featuring David and Jason Benham. The Benham twins were supposed to debut "Flip It Forward" and help struggling families buy homes.
Then a recording emerged of David Benham discussing "homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation." HGTV pulled the plug on the show even though the twins insisted that they are tolerant of all lifestyles.
Jindal said it is the entertainment industry that it is being intolerant.
"The modern left in America is completely intolerant of the views of people of faith. They want a completely secular society where people of faith keep their views to themselves," he said.
The governor later offered some soothing words for graduates.
"You should be optimistic and be of good cheer ... If God is with us, who could be against us?" the governor said.

I went home to visit the family on Friday and forgot to bring my birth control pills. I missed my Friday and Saturday one, but Sunday through this coming Saturday is my placebo week. If I missed my Friday and Saturday one, but continue to take this coming Sunday's pill just like normal, will it have any effect on the efficiency of it?
Your period will start early and there is a slightly increased potential of pregnancy if you had ovulated late in this current cycle (which does happen on the birth control pills) and it can decrease effectiveness of the next cycle. You should have a pregnancy test done in two weeks to confirm you are not pregnant, and you should, as a precaution, use a back up method like foam and condoms, during the next cycle.

Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce President Meredith Caddell accepts a framed proclamation from Hopkins County Judge Cletis Millsap proclaiming every third Saturday in September to be "World Champion Hopkins County Stew Contest Day." Both Millsap and Sulphur Springs Mayor Oscar Aguilar issued the proclamations recognizing the importance of the stew contest.

What's Cookin'? World Champion Hopkins County Stew, of course, and plenty of it at Saturday's 38th annual contest
By FAITH HUFFMAN, News-Telegram News Editor
Sept. 18, 2008 - The World Champion Hopkins County Stew Contest is serious business for true Hopkins County residents, and has been for 38 years.
To show just how important the contest is to the local culture, city and county officials Thursday from the courthouse steps announced that the third Saturday in September will from now on be designated Hopkins County Stew Contest Day.
Also, to make the Chamber of Commerce sponsored-contest as convenient and stress free as possible, a few small adjustments are being made this year.
For those who don't like the tedious task of finding a parking space as close to the fairgrounds as possible, then still having to walk for what seems like a mile to get to the festival, a trolley will be available. Beginning at approximately 8 a.m. Saturday, and continuing about every 30 minutes afterward, the bus will pick up people in the VF Outlet Mall parking lot and on the downtown square and transport them to the fair grounds. The trolly will continue until about 4 p.m. Saturday, according to Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce President Meredith Caddell.
To make the trek to the food tent a bit easier for senior citizens, disabled individuals and others with special needs, a tent is being set up near the Chamber of Commerce parking lot. Handicap parking will be at the Southwest Dairy Center, so they will only have to walk or wheel across the parking lot directly to the tent.
Tickets for all you can eat of the annual stew entries can be purchased in advance at Alliance, City National, Guaranty Bond and Pilgrim banks, as well as at the Chamber office, through Friday. The advance price will be $5, the same as on stew day, but will save fair-goers from having to stand in line to get a ticket. Those who want to wait until Saturday can get a ticket beginning at 9 a.m. at the designated food tent or ticket sales booth. Service tents will open at 10:45 a.m. Saturday to begin handing out bowls and fixings like cheese and crackers.
To help people find the stew sites of friends and family, the Chamber will be offering cook site maps at the information booth. Stew cooks' names will be listed alphabetically by the cook's first name, just in case you can't remember their last names. There will also be a map posted on the stew camp grounds so people can stop by and find their favorite teams.
Stew contest winners will be announced, usually during the noon hour, by Ryan Wright. Quarts of the winning stews will also be auctioned to the high bidder Saturday following the announcement of the winners.
This year's stew contest could be the biggest and best ever. The consensus last year was that the 2007 contest drew the largest crowd in the competition's history -- perhaps as many as 10,000.
The stew contest was started in 1970 by the late Rod Henderson, the longtime manager of the Hopkins County Regional Civic Center, when 12 cooking teams competed in front the old National Guard Armory on the south side of Buford Park.
When Elliott took over the contest in 1992, the number of entries had risen to 50, and slowly increased every year, reaching a record last year.
It became evident just how big the crowd was in 2007 when teams began doling out stew to Fall Festival goers. First, they ran out of spoons and had to borrow more from the Southwest Dairy Center next door. A decision was made just after noon to stop selling tickets when they ran out of bowls. Luckily, more were found, and the ticket sales went on as planned.
"We fed at least 5,000 people, and there's probably twice that many here who didn't eat," said former Chamber President Bill Elliot after last year's contest.
Elliott retired in May, so this is Hopkins County Chamber of Commerce President Meredith Caddell first year in charge of the contest, and she's already seen one record fall. Two cooking teams that signed up Tuesday pushed the total number of entries to a whopping 134.
"That's about 11 or 12 above what we've ever had before," Caddell said. "We're so excited about this year's stew contest. They can still sign up if they want to, but time is getting near. We just invite everyone to come out and have a bowl -- or bowls, as I like to say -- of stew."
And Caddell doesn't plan on running out of bowls, spoons or anything else.
"We ordered 1,000 more of everything," she said.
Also being sponsored by the Chamber Saturday is the Great american Duck Race, which will take place around 12:30 p.m. -- immediately following the announcement of stew winners -- in the small creek running through the fair grounds just left of the Civic Center. Ducks can be purchased for $5 a piece or 5 ducks for $20 at any local business with a duck race display, at the Chamber or at the Fall Festival Saturday morning. The ducks will be dumped in the creek, and a $500 prize awarded to the duck finishing first, $200 to the second place duck, $100 to the third place duck and $50 to the lame duck.

Tokyo - Russia's Nadia Petrova overpowered eighth seed Samantha Stosur 6-4 6-2 in a surprisingly one-sided match to reach the final of the Pan Pacific Open on Friday.
Petrova, struggling with lower back pain all week, ran Australian Stosur ragged along the baseline to advance to her first final at the WTA premier five event in Tokyo.
The 17th seed faces the winner of the day's second semi-final between defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska and German Angelique Kerber in Saturday's championship match.
Petrova, chasing her second title of the season, came into the match with a 5-3 record over Stosur, last year's US Open champion.
Stosur committed a string of unforced errors and Petrova closed out the match following another wild forehand from the Australian after one hour, 47 minutes.
Nine of the world's top 10 women made the trip to Tokyo, although the $2.16 million hard-court tournament lost its two top seeds, Victoria Azarenka and Maria Sharapova, on Thursday.

Museum of Filipino Culture
Museum of Filipino Culture The Museo ng Buhay Pilipino (Museum of Philippine Life) was the first lifestyle museum in the Philippines aimed to define and preserve the traditional heritage of the lowland Christian Filipino, which includes Tagalogs, Ilocanos, Pangasinense, Pampangueños, Cebuanos, Ilonggos, Warays, and Bicolanos.
The display contains tools, furniture, and traditional dresses used by the Christian Filipinos and artifacts simulating a vintage setting that depicts the nineteenth century "ilustrado" lifestyle in the lowlands.
The corporate museum has a collection of furniture, jewelry, implements, religious images, and other objects and attire representative of the traditional lifestyle of the so-called "Lowland Christian groups."
The "Bahay Tisa" of the Nayong Pilipino is the present repository of the artifacts collection of the "Museo ng Buhay Pilipino." Here may be found some of the finest creations by Filipino craftsmen through the ages showcased in a wood or capiz residence, among which are: old interior furniture and furnishings, farm tools and implements, cane-woven furnitures, towering wooden cabinets, pillow racks and four-poster beds costumes and carriages of yesteryears. The collection is open to the public for viewing.
It is located in the Central Bank Mint Building, East Avenue, Q.C. (across the Philippine Heart Center).

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Haddon House. In the three weeks since, we have not stopped talking about the warm hospitality of our host and charm of the house itself. The rooms in Haddon House are immaculate and combine modern comforts with original historical features. The house is conveniently located and easy to find from the highway if you have never visited Vancouver or Burnaby before. Mainly though, it is extremely warm and professional manner of hosting that has endeared Haddon House to us (never mind the breakfast experience the is Johannes' cooking!) and will bring us back for years to come. And altogether unforgettable stay, thank you Haddon House!
"Business Travel Has Never Been Better!"
Cumming, Georgia
The hotels were booked so I decided to give this B&B a try. I usually prefer a good luxury hotel over a B&B. Of course that has changed since my stay at the Haddon House.
I found the home very charming, yet modern and comfortable. My room was large and very tastefully decorated. There was a very comfortable bed, flat panel TV and wireless internet for keeping in touch with the office. Great views of the mountains or of the very quiet neighbourhood with its beautiful homes surrounded by mature trees. The best of all was the warmth and care of the home owners. Breakfasts are a culinary delight; truly superb! I love to cook and I must say the owner would do well to open a school. I learned a great deal from him and my wife and my wife has remarked on how much I have improved in the kitchen after my trip to Vancouver.
My stay was for only 3 nights and each day I enjoyed the Haddon House even more. I highly recommend it for anyone going to Vancouver.
"Wonderful Home and Host All Wrapped Into One Package"
Vancouver, Washington
My wife and I stayed here and found the experience to be wonderful. The home is absolutely beautiful. It is appointed with nice furnishings and is in a nice neighbourhood. As for the proprietors; you could not ask for anyone to be more congenial. We had wonderful conversation with fellow guests while enjoying a wonderful breakfast. We would heartily recommend the Haddon House to anyone visiting Vancouver.
"Outstanding, Delightful"
The Haddon House was an outstanding and delightful place to stay. Johannes was a wonderful host and breakfast was wonderful. We were the only guests the night we stayed and it was very quiet. Location was great, close enough to the highway to be able to get around easily. The walk to the lake was great, even in the rain and Johannes lent us an umbrella. The grounts were beautiful and we felt right at home. A very charming place with a delightful and hospitable inn keeper. Would definitely stay again and wish we had been able to stay more than one night.
"Absolutely the Best B&B"
I booked this B&B as I was attending a course in Burnaby and my husband was coming with me. This home is beautifully decorated and furnished, but even better the hosts are extremely hospitable and will help you in every way possible. We immediately felt at home when we checked in and they were very accommodating to my schedule as I needed to have my breakfast fairly early. This was not a problem and both days we were served an excellent breakfast. It not only had great taste but was also very beautifully presented. I have been telling everyone about this B&B, it is beyong being the best, it is the very best.
"We Highly Recommend this B&B"
Qualicam Beach, BC
The home is beautifully restored and renovated. The hosts are lovely people who made us feel instantly welcome in their home. The accommodation is luxurious and the breakfast options almost overwhelming in their variety of choice. We have visited the home in summer and winter and the location, close to Deer Lake Park, is great for those wanting to take a walk. A gentle stroll or more vigorous walk are on the doorstep.
This location is close enough to downtown Vancouver yet on a quiet, tree-lined street in a residential neighbourhood.
We highly recommend it.
"An Absolute Eye-of-the-Storm Oasis Hidden in the Heart of Burnaby"
British Columbia
Highways and major driving routes, shopping, business and sky train at your fingertips but you would never know it.
Situated on a dead-end street (pedestrian accessible) that enters into a boardwalk-bordered lake park, this STUNNING house seems to exist in its own little bubble- a time capsule of a place that is fully updated (very elegant work on the restoration, by the way) but the development in the area has left this little street completely secluded. One second you are in six lanes of traffic, the next you are strolling down an empty street toward a massive park while admiring gorgeous homes and looking across a lake at the buildings in Burnaby. Amazing.
We walked to the Hart House Restaurant (a "heritage" property with an interesting history tied to the area) on the boardwalk at night in about 10 minutes- beautiful.
This was my second stay of many to come; there is no need for me to try any other B&B's in the area.
You will not find better hosts, better food (they went WAY out of their way to accommodate our special diets- we are very finicky), better ambiance, better location, better accessibility to amenities or better value anywhere.
"Outstanding Service"
Winnipeg, Manitoba
Charming, elegant, immaculate, comfortable are words that describe Haddon House Bed and Breakfast.
As a former governor of the Heritage Canada Foundation I have had the pleasure of experiencing numerous B&B's across Canada. Haddon House would rank as one of the finest, authentic restoration projects that my wife and I have seen. It has been beautifully renewed and restored. While all the electrical, plumbing and washroom fixtures are new, it still has the look and feel of a heritage home!
We will remember the gracious hospitality, stimulating conversation and the fabulous gourmet breakfasts! It was so much fun.
"An Extraordinary B&B Experience!"
Pleasanton, CA
The home is beautiful and roomy. The food is a true delight. The bedrooms are perfect with great bed linens. The gardens are warm and inviting. The best part was how the owners made you feel so at home. It was very hard to leave!
"The Only Place to Stay in Vancouver!"
Portola Valley, CA
When we stayed at the Haddon House we were welcomed as if we had been family for years. It was our first "stay." Our room was so comfortable and we enjoyed the backyard daily. My daily run was 2 blocks away that took me along the most beautiful lake with a perfect running loop. Our breakfast was something out of Martha Stewart! We cannot sing enough praises for our new friends that own the Haddon House... a job well done.
"Fantastic Breakfast and Fantastic Hosts"
Pemberton, British Columbia
We stayed for one night to make our Metrotown shopping experience more worthwhile.
The location was easy to find down a quiet leafy street and the accommodation was very plush and comfortable. The hosts could not be more welcoming or accommodating and the breakfast was unbelievable!
We had dinner at the Hart House Restaurant, a short walk from the B&B, and had a wonderful meal.
All in all a fabulous stay which I would highly recommend as we will definitely be back.
Edmonton, British Columbia
We recently stayed at Haddon House with my mother, sister and teenage son. My son was involved in a tournament at the Simon Fraser University and so I found the B&B on the internet as it stated it was near SFU. I was reluctant to stay in Burnaby as I thought it would be out of the way for sightseeing while my son was at the SFU but were we ever wrong. This location is perfect as it is so easily accessible to Hwy 1 and other main thoroughfares to get you to all the sites so much quicker than had we stayed in the heart of Vancouver as we were able to bypass all the downtown streets.
The house is in an elegant neighbourhood to reflect how beautiful the Haddon House is. So comfortable were the beds and the use of the outside deck was such a bonus as well having access to the main floor which was so comfortable and gorgeous.
As for Johannes, he is the real deal and a fantastic host and chef. Breakfast was outstanding. They went over and beyond when they made a lunch for my son for the 2 days we were there! And my son loved it!
And Marie-Louise is so genuine! We loved our stay and will be back for sure and tell all our friends to stay there when visiting Vancouver.
"Exquisite Place and People!"
Regina, Saskatchewan
The Haddon House B&B was one of the finest that I have ever had the privilege of staying at. I was in Burnaby on business, examining piano candidates for the Royal Conservatory of Music, and Johannes picked me up from and returned me to the airport, drove me to and from my daily examining route, and they also provided suppers, for which I was extremely grateful. To be so well accommodated was amazing to behold, and I felt totally looked after and completely "part of the family" with Marie-Louise and Johannes.
The Haddon House is located on a quiet street in Burnaby (Buckingham), and it has three lovely guest rooms. I stayed in the Avalon Suite, and it was perfect for my needs, with computer accessibility, and they provided me with a table to do my book work on.
The breakfasts were sumptuous creations, as Johannes studied as a caterer in Switzerland, and the table was always resplendent with fine cutlery, fabric napkins, heated plates (something totally new to me!), and an array of fruit, juice, muffins and croissants. I was even encouraged to take fruit or anything else along as my morning snack, which was very much appreciated, as my day was long!
Their dog was also marvelously well-behaved, and very friendly without being intrusive or 'jumping up', which surprised me, having dogs myself.
I would strongly recommend this fabulous experience to anyone wanting a "home away from home, only better."
I hope to return there the next time my travels take me to Burnaby!
"A Bit of Fine Hospitality in the Best of Swiss Tradition."
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Recently, my husband and I booked a two-night stay at Haddon House B&B in Burnaby, BC and ended up staying for five! Haddon House is a beautiful historic B&B property nestled in a quiet neighbourhood with a nice walking trail and lake close by. The breakfasts prepared and served every morning by Johannes were second to none... delicious, healthy, plenty of choice and beautifully presented. We felt like royalty every morning! Both Johannes and Marie-Louise are warm, engaging hosts with a unique sense of knowing what their guests need before they do. No detail was missed in making our stay in BC a memorable one. Would we recommend staying at Haddon House? Absolutely!
"Elegant and Cozy"
You have created a lovely inn. I loved everything. I can see the detail in everything you have done. I'm sure the Old House is "smiling." You have created an elegant and cozy place. I personally loved the "pillows!" All of them. They are perfect and are found in the right places. On the couches, window seat, chairs and the beds. I enjoyed them all. The towels are plush and smell wonderful, great beds and yes a yummy breakfast every morning.
a Comfortable, Inviting Place to Stay!"
Houston, Texas
My husband and I recently stayed the weekend at the Haddon
House. The B&B is a historic building set in nearby
Burnaby. Our hosts were so inviting, and accommodated us
arriving in the wee hours of the morning. Our room was
very comfortable, and the amenities were very nice. I would
recommend the Haddon House to anyone visiting Vancouver!
"A Great Place to Stay!"
Calgary, Alberta
Johannes and Marie Louise were very welcoming and gracious hosts. We instantly felt at home when we arrived. Our room was very nice and comfortable; as we were traveling with our two dogs, we stayed in the pet-friendly Deerholme suite.
And, of course, the breakfast was delicious! Johannes was kind enough to pack us some leftovers for our drive home to Calgary, which was very much appreciated.
We will absolutely return for another stay at Haddon House, and have recommended it to friends and family!
"An Oasis in Burnaby... or Anywhere!"
Seattle, Washington
I stay at B&B's when I can for business. Haddon House is exceptional- modern but charming. There are 3 rooms with private baths all of which have every modern amenity including large bathrooms with heated floors, wireless and flat screen TV's. Deer Lake park is just a block away with good walking/running trails. The neighbourhood is quiet and upscale so walking or biking the neighbourhood is a pleasure. Johannes and Marie Louise are gracious hosts. The breakfast spread was more than anyone could eat but had incredible variety including fresh fruit, pastry, cereals and pancakes. Everything about Haddon House was my ideal for a B&B. I look forward to staying at Haddon House for either business or pleasure again.
"What a Relaxing Getaway!"
British Columbia, Canada
I'm so happy to have stayed at Haddon House! I urgently needed a relaxing weekend getaway and I sure got it at this Bed and Breakfast. The room I stayed in was absolutely beautiful and the hosts were so nice and accommodating. I didn't have a car so it was really convenient to have Deer Lake right there to spend my time at. I'm definitely going back when I need a quick vacation!
"Memorable Experience"
Haddon House B&B was a delightful surprise with its beautiful atmosphere and tastefully furnished suites.
I extended my stay because of the warm hospitality and excellent service.
"Friendly and Comfortable B&B"
My 2 night stay at Haddon House B&B was delightful! The hosts were very friendly and extremely accommodating. And my room was very comfortable and cozy. I would recommend this relatively new B&B for visitors to the Vancouver area who want attentive hosts, comfortable accommodations, and a quiet area away from the hassles of downtown.
"Tranquility Oasis"
Very comfortable stay with welcoming hosts and friendly dog. Quiet, convenient location close to shops and parks. A clean, beautiful, newly remodeled heritage home that easily gets 5 stars from me!

That's all well and good, if it can be accomplished. However, I have 2 problems with placing my gedcom with my FF surname list. Number 1, for whatever reason FTDNA doesn't allow me to upload some of mine. I am in charge of 3 (going on 5) test results. Some have both YDNA and mtDNA. One allowed me to upload the YDNA gedcom but not the mtDNA. So a whole block of surnames in not available. Second, with my own mtDNA gecom, it leaves out my paternal familiies - because I have my gedcoms divided - one for my paternal line and one for my maternal. Same problem as above - one family's data is missing.
On my FF surname lists, I have all the direct line ancestors. Somewhere on each list, I have written in "pedigree available". Thus anyone who looks through my surname list and wants more details can send me an e-mail and I'll send them the url for my gedcoms at worldconnect. Which by the way, lists everyone in my database. From what I've seen of the gedcoms featured with FF, they are trees - the direct lines, there are no siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. In genealogy there's a big difference between a pedigree chart and a family group sheet.

I do not bother with a contact if he lists only surnames. Some people put
more time into listing surnames than it takes to list a pedigree.
People who want to contact others should should list their all their
ancestors by generation, not by lineage. They need to start only with their
ggrandparents or gggrandparents, since they should already know the names of
close cousins. They should list the birth and death years and residences, so
people can identify common ancestors. This should go a long way to induce
responses from people who are actually related.
This format is the easiest for someone unfamiliar with a family to

Strep throatPharyngitis - streptococcal; Streptococcal pharyngitis
Strep throat is a disease that causes a sore throat (pharyngitis). It isan infection with a germ called Group A Streptococcus bacteria.
Strep throat is most common in children between ages 5 and 15, although anyone can get it.
Strep throat is spread by person-to-person contact with fluids from the nose or saliva. It commonly spreads among family or household members.
Symptoms may be mild or severe. Youwill oftenstart to feel sick about 2 to 5 days after you come in contact with the strep germ.
Fevermay begin suddenly and is often highest on the second day. You may have chills.
You can have ared sore throat, sometimes with white patches. It may hurt to swallow. You may feel swollen, tender glands in your neck.
Other symptoms may include:
- General ill feeling, a loss of appetite and abnormal taste
- Headache
- Nausea
Some strains of strep throat can lead to a scarlet fever-like rash. The rash first appears on the neck and chest. Then it spreads over the body. It may feel like sandpaper.
Exams and Tests
Many other causes of sore throat may have the same symptoms. Your health care provider must do a test to diagnose strep throat and decide whether you need to take antibiotics.
A rapid streptest can be done in most health care provider offices. However, it can be negativeeven ifyou have strep.
If the rapid strep test is negative and your health care provider still thinks you or your child may have strep, a throat swab can be tested (cultured) to see if strep grows from it. Results will take1 to2 days to come back.
Most sore throats are caused by viruses, not bacteria.
Sore throats should only be treated with antibiotics if the strep test is positive. Antibiotics are taken to prevent rare but more serious health problems, such as rheumatic fever.
Penicillin or amoxicillin is usually first tried. Antibiotics should be taken for 10 days, even though symptoms are usually gone after a few days.
The following tips may help your sore throat feel better:
- Drink warm liquids such as lemon tea or tea with honey.
- Gargle several times a day with warm salt water (1/2 tsp of salt in 1 cup water).
- Drink cold liquids or suck on popsicles.
- Suck on hard candies or throat lozenges. Young children should not be giventhese products because they can choke on them.
- A cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier can moisten and soothe a dry and painful throat.
- Try over-the-counter pain medications, such as acetaminophen.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Symptoms of strep throat usually get better in about 1 week. Untreated, strep can lead to serious complications.
Possible Complications
In rare cases, strep throat can lead to rheumatic fever if it is not treated. Strep throat may also cause a rare kidney complication called post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.
Other complications may include:
- Ear infection
- Glomerulonephritis
- Guttate psoriasis
- Mastoiditis
- Peritonsillar abscess
- Rheumatic fever
- Scarlet fever
- Sinusitis
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call if you develop the symptoms of strep throat. Also, call if you are being treated for strep throat and are not feeling better within 24 - 48 hours.
Most people with strep are contagious until they have been on antibiotics 24 - 48 hours. They should stay home from school, daycare, or work until they have been on antibiotics for at least a day.
Get a new toothbrush after you are no longer contagious, but before finishing the antibiotics. Otherwise the bacteria can live in the toothbrush and re-infect you when the antibiotics are done. Also, keep your family's toothbrushes and utensils separate, unless they have been washed.
If repeated cases of strep still occur in a family, you might check to see if someone is a strep carrier. Carriers have strep in their throats, but the bacteria do not make them sick. Sometimes, treating them can prevent others from getting strep throat.

This September, Ten Speed Press will publish my new cookbook on Asian dumplings. Though we've not finalized the title, I will tell you that it's a pan-Asian collection of recipes that will give you lots of "Ah hah!" and "Wow!" moments in the kitchen. I'm working with my editor, Clancy Drake, to polish the manuscript (no, a submitted draft doesn't go straight to print!), and in the midst of that process, we do the photos.
Cookbooks of the past didn't have photos but nowadays, photos help to set the visual tone for a cookbook. They're an integral part of the publication. In fact, people often ask me, "Does your cookbook have pictures?"
