Complementary and alternative medicine encompasses a host of different therapies. To understand them, it helps to dissect the terminology.
Taken together, complementary and alternative medicine, or CAM, represents a large and diverse group of health care systems, practices, and products that are based on philosophies and techniques other than those used in conventional medicine. Health care professionals who practice integrative medicine use a combination of conventional and complementary treatments to treat their patients.
When it comes to treating disease, conventional medicine relies primarily on biomedicine, which is based on the laws of science and the use of the scientific method for evidence. Most treatments are biomedical and based on research, in particular a model known as the randomized, controlled clinical trial (RCT).
In an RCT, some subjects are given a treatment and others are not, but the researchers do not know who receives the treatment and who doesn't. The research is typically published in a peer-reviewed academic journal. This means it's been closely scrutinized by a panel of medical experts, peers of the researchers who practice in the field that is being studied. The peer-review process is designed to maintain professional, ethical, and scientific standards and provide credibility to the study. In addition, peer review determines if an academic study is suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal or other publication.
Many alternative remedies have not undergone such rigorous scrutiny. Instead, support for these treatments is often anecdotal, meaning it's based on casual observations or a story about a person or a situation. This evidence is not as reliable as that from an RCT. All cases or anecdotes are not represented, and anecdotal data are difficult to verify as being an accurate representation of the situation. Sometimes an individual response is inappropriately generalized for all people. The scientific method cannot be used in most cases to investigate anecdotal data. The scientific method uses careful written observation and collection of measurable data to answer questions through carefully designed experiments. Anecdotal data can become a testimonial to help promote a product or an idea.Just because an alternative treatment has not been subjected to an RCT does not mean it will not work. It's possible, too, that some alternative remedies may benefit from the placebo effect, in which the patient's faith in the treatment—or the practitioner delivering it—may be enough to bring about a positive effect.
For any parent considering a CAM treatment for a child with an ASD, the most important thing you can do is to become educated and use common sense. Know the potential benefits of the treatments and understand the risks involved. Your pediatrician can help you in this process, and together you can decide whether or not to pursue the treatment. See table below. It's also important to know the resources needed to start and maintain the therapy. Many of these therapies can be quite costly.
It is important for parents to investigate if a CAM therapy has been researched in an evidence-based scientific study. You can often find these studies on university or national accredited Web sites such as the National Institutes of Health (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed).

This will be the base of the delicious and fun dessert. The clear cups make it easy for your young ones to see what's hiding below the surface as they dig through their dirt dessert.
Hide the gummy worms in the pudding, so you can't really see them.
Place a few cookies, about 5 or 6, into a plastic baggy and use a rolling pin to crush them up. They will turn into little cookie crumbles, which you can use as the top coat of dirt on the pudding.
Add a gummy worm on top of the dessert as decoration or have it's gummy head poking out from the "dirt." See if your child can count how many worms are hiding throughout their pudding!
Now it's time to enjoy this delicious and dirty dessert! Grab your spoons and enjoy.

MORE than half of parents in Somerset lack the skills necessary to save their child in the event of a life-threatening accident, according to St John Ambulance.
St John's Steve Hargreaves said: 'It's devastating to find over half of parents wouldn't have the first aid confidence to save their own child's life.
"Unfortunately, our volunteers can't be everywhere, so we've developed an online experience to help more people be the difference between a life lost and a life saved."

Subtly perfect
I purchased this subtly scented lotion for when I work as a nurse. Ill people, and certain co-workers, cant't tolerate strong scents. This lotion serves both me my patients. I love the hydrating, but not overly oily feel (if you've ever tried to unscrew something with overly lotioned hands, you know what I'm talking about) and my patients appreciate the soft natural scent that doesn't upset their tender disposition of the moment.

a nice neutral
this is such a nice neutral lotion, i never thought that olive leaf would be my go-to lotion of choice for unwinding. the no-nonsense scent truly brings you down to earth.
Very Fresh and timeless
I enjoy the way the products come packaged and the scents are unique and not overpowering.
down to earth
the first time I used this was from a sample given to me from my granddaughter.....I was hooked. I have extremly dry skin and was having a hard time finding a lotion that not only smelled good, but soothed my dry skin. I use it after a shower (or just when I feel dry) and my skin feels soft and moist until my next shower. I love the earthy woodsy aroma that stays with you all day. I would recomend this to anyone with dry skin. There is no oily or greasy residue, and it soaks right in. Try it...you will love it!

Gary Bettman called the NHL's latest offer "a significant, meaningful step."
But that's before we heard what the PA thinks about it. Because the PA could come back today, or soon, and say it's not close. Or they could counter.
Here's the thing. Don't get too excited until we hear what the players think of the "significant, meaningful step." Because, until the players say it is significant or meaningful, it isn't.
If they do, then maybe there's a chance the Sept. 15 locking of the doors won't happen. I'll believe that when I see it. Or don't see it. I still think, based on previous sports/labor negotiations, that Sept. 15 will have to arrive, and the lockout will have to begin, before anything actually gets done.
Meanwhile, here's Kevin Allen's story on the latest proposal, from USA Today.

Sometimes the SEC Tournament bracket works out in your favor, see last year's path to the tournament title, and sometimes it doesn't. Last season, Kentucky avoided facing the stiffest and most familiar competition until the final day. This season, not so much. The Cats had the pleasure of playing the two best teams remaining in the tournament in consecutive days and for the third time this season. And clearly the third time was not the charm.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. - A Polk County elementary school teacher and her boyfriend were arrested by deputies after they say they stole $2,500 worth of golf clubs from a Winter Haven home.
Amy Alvarado, 42, a second-grade teacher at Eastside Elementary in Haines City drove her boyfriend 30-year-old Brian Difeau to Eagle Pond Drive in Winter Haven, where he stole a golf bag filled with clubs before driving away.
A neighbor saw the theft and reported it, according to deputies. Alvarado was pulled over by deputies and arrested them for the theft.
Alvarado told deputies that after stealing the clubs, they went to several pawn shops in an attempt to sell them, and eventually went to Play It Again Sports in Winter Haven. According to the release, she took the stolen clubs inside and sold them for $180, signing a form stating that she was the owner of the property.
Alvarado was arrested and charged with burglary to a dwelling, grand theft, dealing in stolen property and false verification to pawn brokers. Fideau was arrested and charged with burglary to a dwelling, grand theft, dealing in stolen property, possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia.
Alvarado's 22-year-old son who deputies say was in the car with a friend at the time of the burglary, was arrested arrested on drug possession charges.
Thanks to observant neighbors, we got the lead we needed to arrest these thieves. We strongly encourage residents to keep their garage doors closed and their property secured. Criminals are constantly looking for easy opportunities to steal; let's not make it easy for them," saidSheriff Grady Judd in a release.

Happy New Year loves! Hope your 2013 is getting off to an amazing start! I was lucky enough to ring in the new year (for the third time) in one of my favorite cities…San Francisco. I wanted to share some photos with you…unfortunately, my fancy schmancy camera was acting up. But, I do have iPhone pics! You might have seen some of them on Facebook or via my Instagram account. Now, there comes a time when you'll have to rely on your iPhone for photos when you travel. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just take a look at my pics below.
We spent a lot of time in Union Square where our hotel was, but we also made our way to North Beach, Haight St., Fisherman's Wharf, and Market St. (shopping of course). We did a lot of walking…I mean a lot of walking. And we tested a few new restaurant spots too. My favorite moment was New Year's Eve of course. I got to spend time with my cousins who I don't get to see very often. It was a great four days!!

Drought has faded from nearly half of the country, but the Drought Monitor isn't staying quiet for many states in the West and Southwest.
New Mexico, with about 95 percent in extreme or worse drought, continues its reign on the driest state in the Union. The combination of drought, winds and little moisture created the "perfect recipe" for dust storms, which have blown through both New Mexico and Colorado over the past several weeks. Even veteran farmers and ranchers in New Mexico have been surprised by the magnitude of the drought.
"I'm 51 years old. I was born here, and I've never lived anywhere else," New Mexico farmer Lane Grau told the Albuquerque Journal in an article here. "And this is the worst I've ever seen it. It's crazy dry."
Other states in the area are also struggling against drought:
- Colorado – 39 percent in extreme or worse drought
Colorado has made headlines recently as a combination of dust storms and wildfires inundated the state. Conditions are worsening, and the latest U.S. Seasonal Drought Outlook expects no improvement through the end of September.
- Nebraska – 35 percent in extreme or worse drought
Conditions in the Cornhusker State are improving from earlier this year when 77 percent of the state was in extreme drought. However, the state is still drier than this time last year.
- Kansas – 45 percent in extreme or worse drought
Drought has finally faded across the eastern half of the state, but it remains firmly gripped in the western half. Wet weather pattern mostly bypass western counties, leaving 24 percent of the state in extreme drought – all located west of Interstate 35. According to The Wichita Eagle, the lack of rainfall over the last one to three years rivals some of the direst periods in record in Kansas, including the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.
- Oklahoma – 26 percent in extreme or worse drought
Like Kansas, Oklahoma's drought conditions vary wildly throughout the state. Heavy spring storms brought drought-easing rains to the eastern half of the state. The western half, including the Panhandle, is inundated with intense drought.
- Texas – 30 percent in extreme or worse drought
Last week, Gov. Rick Perry extended drought emergency in most of the state, stretching across more than 200 counties. Perry warned that "these drought conditions have reached historic levels and continue to pose an imminent threat to public health, property and the economy." The memories of the 2011 drought haven't faded, and the anticipation of another dry summer leaves many considered about water supplies, aquifer levels and wildfire risks. Conditions are driest in the Texas Panhandle, though it is also continuing to spread throughout the state.
California's drought conditions increased significantly this week, with 93 percent reported in severe drought. This is well above last week's report of 67 percent. This is the highest level reported in this drought category since 2007.

Who Will Update Your Facebook After You Die?
Don't worry, there's an app for that.
Our own death is arguably one of the most important events in our lives, so it's understandable that you might want to post a Facebook status about it. In the past, this might have been slightly difficult due to obvious reasons, but thanks to the new Facebook app If I Die you can fulfill your most morbid digital fantasies by leaving a status update from beyond the grave.
Wilook is the Israel-based company behind the app, who got developing after CEO Eran Alfonta was suddenly made aware of the fragility of human life when two of his friends almost died in a car crash. "We all have things to say and don't necessarily have the audience with the patience to hear us," observes Alfonta. "Actually we all want to leave something behind, we all want to leave a stamp behind us."
After installing the app you choose at least three Facebook friends to act as trustees, who in unfortunate circumstances are given the task of verifying your death. When it is confirmed that you have indeed crossed the great divide, your pre-recorded videos or messages can be published all at once to your Facebook wall, or released on a designated schedule for as long as you have messages to send. What you record is up to you - the creators recommend a simple farewell, a favourite joke or the revelation of a long-kept secret, though you could also threaten to haunt anyone who de-friends you just because you're dead, or attempt to impartially distribute your FarmVille acquisitions (first one to click 'like' gets five meticulously harvested cherry trees!)
People have been leaving notes and videotapes in anticipation of their own deaths for years, so this app isn't really anything controversial. We are all, in the end, mortal, and do you really want your last ever status update to be a link to a YouTube slideshow of wide-eyed kittens posing next to various types of fast food?

Hmmm. I do have an old iPhone 4 just sitting around... How much would that make a 16gb iPhone 5?
Is this a unit only or it comes with a 2yr contract?
ill keep my red iphone 4swag
There is always a catch. 2 year contract makes up for any so called sale you thought you were receiving. I bought a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS back in the day and it was the worse purchase I ever made. You'll never recoup that kind of money for an iPhone. I learned my lesson..contract or craigslist :]
The deal two weeks ago was better. iPhone 4S trade in for IPhone 5. Only activation fee and two year contract. No other costs.
Still the first month payment was a shocker. Went from 3G on virgin mobile to 4glte payment from $35 a month to $130 a month on verizon. Wish there was better 4G-LTE coverage in more places.
What if you give them two iPhone4 will give you two iPhone 5 or 250 or 300 there is not one scratch on them as had hard cases on from day one since purchase

That's right, in Finland we celebrate friends on February 14 - we send cards to all our friends and thank them for their friendship. I don't know about you, but to me that sounds much nicer than a day spent celebrating just couples, don't you think?
As one gets older, friendships tend to change somewhat. There is no need to spend every spare minute with you BFF and it doesn't matter so much if you only see your friends every now and then. I have known some of my friends for more than 25 years and those are the friendships I know will last the time and distance between us.
I made this curry for my best friend last night. It is warming, welcoming and comforting. It nourishes and satisfies. It's my way of saying "I love you."
"All love that has not friendship for its base is like a mansion built upon the sand."

Chickpea Curry
(Recipe inspired by Foodispower.org)
1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
small piece of fresh ginger, grated
1 medium sized sweet potato, cut into 2cm cubes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
pinch of chilli flakes or cayenne pepper
pinch of salt
200g cooked chickpeas
1 small red capsicum, sliced
4-5 kale leaves, cut into strips (you can also use spinach)
400ml coconut milk
1. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the garlic and ginger. Cook for one minute, then add the chopped sweet potato and a dash of water.
2. While the sweet potato is cooking, heat the spices in a small dry pan for 1/2 minute or until fragrant. Add the spices onto the pan with the sweet potato and continue to cook until the sweet potato is just tender.
3. Add the capsicum and chickpeas and a pinch of salt. Cook for a further few minutes, then add the coconut milk. Finally stir in the kale leaves. Heat through and serve warm.

The Crap We Missed – Friday 1.18.13
Welcome to Friday's The Crap We Missed that almost didn't happen because I just found out that Fish has secretly been my online girlfriend for years. I mean, I get that it's hilarious to make me think someone wouldn't be physically repulsed enough by me to maintain a relationship, by why request all those pictures of my peni– Oh, sonofabitch. While I go hug myself crouched on the shower floor, check out Kat Von D looking elegant as always, Russell Brand lining up some weekend companionship and yes, I mean gay bum sex, and finally, 50 Cent just now finding out that his internet girlfriend was this guy the whole time.

The Demonweb Pits is the 66th layer of the chaotic evil-aligned plane known as the Abyss. As a result of the popularity of Drow (Dark elves), in both the game and the supporting novels, it continues to be one of the best known layers by both players and authors, and was featured as the setting of the grand conclusion of a series of adventure modules in the early years of the game (see below).
The layer is the home of evil drow deity Lolth, the Demon Queen of Spiders and many other deities of the Drow pantheon of gods. The plane resembles a giant spiderweb across space, formed from strands of interwoven planar matter. Lolth's palace is a giant iron stronghold stylized in the shape of a spider, that crawls across the web strands of the plane.
The 1980 1st-Edition AD&D module Queen of the Demonweb Pits describes the Demonweb Pits as an environment quite unlike the Prime Material Plane, stating that many magical spells and effects do not function as expected here. The web strands themselves are reported to be composed from the lost souls of the Abyss, surrounded by a grey foul-smelling fog above and to the sides of each strand, forming a tunnel-like structure.[1]
In Forgotten RealmsEdit
In the 3rd-Edition Forgotten Realms campaign setting the Demonweb Pits exists as a plane separate from the Abyss, due to the events of The War of the Spider Queen. The Demonweb Pits is still a layer of the Abyss outside the Forgotten Realms cosmology.

Dice-K making progress with elbow inflammation
WASHINGTON -- Slowly, Daisuke Matsuzaka is making his way back from a bout of right elbow inflammation. Matsuzaka has been throwing off flat ground in recent days, and could begin doing so off a mound soon.
"He's got to get on a mound and start spinning it," manager Terry Collins said. "But I wouldn't be surprised if he's out pitching early next week."
Once Matsuzaka resumes mound work, Collins continued, he will likely require a Minor League rehab start -- even if his ultimate destination is a return to the bullpen. On the disabled list since July 26 with what initially seemed like a potentially serious injury, Matsuzaka has served the Mets as a starter, long reliever, setup man and closer this season. He was 3-3 with a 3.87 ERA prior to his injury.

EXCLUSIVE: Fox Approved Pinkerton's Secrecy on Bachmann Book Partnership
Blog ››› ››› JOE STRUPP
Fox News contributor James Pinkerton confirmed that he was paid to "partner" with Michele Bachmann on her new book, but said he did not disclose his role in the project at the request of Bachmann and her publisher.
Pinkerton also revealed that Fox News knew of his arrangement from the start and approved of his keeping it from viewers.
"I was bound by a confidentiality agreement. They said, 'Don't tell anybody,' I said, 'Okay.' I told my superiors at Fox and they knew," Pinkerton said Monday. "I helped on the book from June, July and August, I helped, in a collaborator sense. ... I helped as a collaborator to her. She was busy on the road, so she would have thoughts and tell me things and I would try and help put them together."
Pinkerton is a regular panelist on Fox News' media criticism show and has frequently discussed Bachmann and the other presidential candidates.
Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Pinkerton's role in the book first came to light Monday in a Politico story by Ben Smith that stated:
Michele Bachmann hired former speechwriter and domestic policy adviser to the first President Bush and to President Reagan, Jim Pinkerton, to help write her forthcoming memoir, "Core of Conviction," POLITICO has learned.
Contacted by Media Matters Monday evening, Pinkerton confirmed he had collaborated on the book, saying he is mentioned in acknowledgements as "research and writing partner."
Pinkerton said he had "zero regrets" about keeping his part in the book secret from Fox viewers, saying he always disclosed that his wife, a former Bachmann campaign chief of staff, was working for Bachmann.
"I chose not to [disclose his part in the book] because I wanted to protect the confidentiality of the book, although I told my [Fox] superiors," he said. "Every time Bachmann came up, I said that my wife was working for the campaign, and I was making it clear that I had an interest, as it were, in the Bachmann campaign, through my wife's work."
Asked why he did not disclose his book connection, Pinkerton said: "I felt that, I felt the need to keep the book confidential at the request of all parties involved."
Which parties?
"The publisher, the candidate, the campaign."
Pinkerton said he was paid to collaborate on Bachmann's book, but would not disclose the amount.
Pinkerton said he told Fox News "superiors" about his connection to the book in June. He declined to identify the superiors.
"I am a commentator, my views are well-known. I have been on Fox for 15 years, I've got lots of opinions on lots of things," he added. "Any time that I mentioned Bachmann, I mentioned that my wife was working with Bachmann. The book is a different project not connected to Fox."
He later sought to point out: "I am a contributor, and contributors are in a different category than full-time employees on Fox."
Are you still involved in the book?
"No, book's done. My part was done, finished including edits and everything in early September.
"Let me make clear, I am a fan of Michele Bachmann, but I am not involved in her campaign and neither is my wife, at present."

Met a friend for lunch Friday at Sweet Baby Ray's. Couldn't decide what I wanted so I had a large order of rib tips for lunch and a "Duce" - pulled pork, smoked bologna, topped with cole slaw to take for my dinner later in the day. When packed to go, I had them put the slaw on the side to add when sandwich was reheated.
Sweet Baby Ray is known nationally for his sauce - many of us have tried it at one time or another. Sweet Baby Ray's in Wood Dale is small - seating for about 20 with a couple picnic tables outside.
Nothing real fancy in the decor but it's what you picture, in your mind, when you think of the classic small barbecue joint.
Sweet Baby Rays's has a 2nd location about 4 or 5 miles away in Elk Grove Village, IL. I've never been to this location but think it has seating for about 200.

Rox take rubber game behind Nicasio-Rosario battery
Colorado finishes with eight homers in series, most in Majors thus far
MILWAUKEE -- Rockies right-hander Juan Nicasio was understandably eager for his first start of the season. But once he realized his enthusiasm was working against him, he gave the Rockies a pitching performance they can be excited about.
Nicasio held the Brewers to two runs in six innings and benefited from a 15-hit offensive attack to earn his first career road victory, 7-3, over the Brewers at Miller Park in front of 25,766 on Wednesday.
After dropping Monday's season opener -- the debut for manager Walt Weiss -- the Rockies took the final two games, for their first season-opening series victory since 2009, when they took two of three against the D-backs at Arizona. The Rockies will be off on Thursday, and will host the Padres on Friday for their home opener at Coors Field.
Hitting was a huge piece of the success. Wilin Rosario's two-run homer in the second inning, Michael Cuddyer's two-run shot in the ninth followed by Dexter Fowler's solo laser brought the Rockies' home run total for the series to eight -- the most by any Major League team thus far. The Rockies also brought their series hits total to 41.
But the Rockies have a history of hitting, win or lose. They finished in the top two in the National League in many significant categories last year and still lost a club-record 98 games.
They can win with pitching like they received Wednesday when Nicasio (1-0) showed more savvy than one would expect from a pitcher whose previous experience is two injury-shortened seasons.
Nicasio labored through a 30-pitch first inning, but escaped without a run scoring. But he put down the second in nine pitches and spread the rest of his 97 pitches efficiently through his six frames.
"In the first inning, I threw a lot of balls because I was excited and I tried too much," Nicasio said. "Then I started pitching to contact. I said, 'I know I have 30 pitches, so I'm going to try to for 10 per inning.'"
Nicasio ended up with his first win anywhere since April 30. The Rockies were 1-5 in his final six starts last year, a slump that ended on June 2 when he suffered a season-ending right knee injury. In 2011, he was called up in late May, but his season ended on Aug. 5 when a line drive from the Nationals' Ian Desmond bounced off his right temple and left him with a broken neck.
"All the stuff he's been through, this has to be a great feeling for him," Weiss said.
Rosario, who caught many of Nicasio's starts in the Minors, said: "The only thing I know is he likes to fight. He likes to compete. That's something you could see back in the Minors, and he never lost it."
Nicasio spent most of Spring Training learning to mix his slider and developing changeup with a fastball that regularly travels at 94 mph. He was more effective mixing pitches than in the past, but he still threw 74 fastballs. That was a case of him Rosario reading Brewers swings. Nicasio threw first-pitch strikes to 20 of the 26 batters faced and recorded two strikeouts and two walks.
"I threw my fastball inside, away, and nobody can hit my fastball," Nicasio said. "The hitter needs to show me he can hit my fastball inside. If he does, OK, I'm going to throw my breaking ball. But if nobody can hit it, I'm going to throw it."
It was a nice start for Rockies pitching, considered a weak spot coming into the season. Jhoulys Chacin hummed for 6 2/3 innings of the opener, but the Rockies lost in extra innings. Jorge De La Rosa was removed after 4 1/3 innings for strategic purposes, but the bullpen won it on Tuesday.
"Get good starting pitching and it tends to fall into place for you," Weiss said.
The Brewers narrowed the difference to 4-3 in the seventh on Ryan Braun's RBI double. Righty Chris Volstad, in his Rockies debut and in his first relief appearance since his Major League debut for the Marlins against the Rockies on July 6, 2008, froze Aramis Ramirez with a full-count curveball to escape the inning. Ramirez is 6-for-18 with five RBIs career against Volstad.
The Rockies spent three games showing they could hit most anything the Brewers threw -- and hit it a long way. The show was disconcerting for Brewers manager Ron Roenicke.
"We need to pitch better," Roenicke said. "I know it's early, but we still need to pitch better."
Rosario, who hit 28 homers as a rookie last year, launched his second-inning homer off Brewers top prospect Wily Peralta (0-1). Cuddyer, who didn't start, but pinch-hit for Nicasio in the seventh, homered off John Axford. Two hitters later, Fowler victimized Axford with a homer for the second time in the series.
Rosario had three hits. Gonzalez added two and finished the series 6-for-15. Jordan Pacheco and Reid Brignac each singled and doubled while making their first starts.
The run-scoring potential is one reason the Rockies turn a deaf ear to predictions of more misery.
"That's what we talk about, putting pressure on teams and putting us in situations to do those type of things," Cuddyer said. "And our hitters are capable of it."

This post is sort of hard to write from Oregon, as we've hardly had any heat to speak of so far this June. However, I anticipate that it IS indeed coming and it may be rather warm where you are, so I'm powering through. When it gets hot, the last thing most of us want to do is turn on the oven or stove. Here are some great recipes that will take very little energy on your part and only require a small (if any) amount of stove time.
- Peanut Sauce Vegetable Stir-Fry over Quinoa: easy peasy and only a few minutes near the stove.
- Taco Salad with TVP (or meat, if you prefer): pretty simple and very tasty
- Whole Wheat Pearl Couscous with Pesto and Vegetables: another simple recipe to prepare that tastes wonderful on a warm evening.
- Cold Curried Groats: this would be great prepared in the morning when it's still cool and served in the evening with grilled meat or vegetables.
- Ricotta Spinach Tacos from The Food Network: easy, light and healthy- what more do you need?
- Sesame Cucumber Salad from Simply Recipes: perfect side for grilled chicken on a hot night.
- Watermelon Salad with Mint Leaves from The Food Network: trust us, it's divine!
- Gazpacho from Simply Recipes: definitely a warm weather dish- just be sure to plan ahead, this one sits overnight.
- Tabbouleh: with warm pita bread, fresh hummus and feta… easy, delicious and healthy too!
What is your go-to warm weather dinner?

A HISTORY teacher originally from North Newton rekindled his connection to the village by tracking down its war heroes.
Russ Foster, a teacher from Salisbury, has been researching the names on the First World War memorial in St Peter's Church in the village.
Russ said: "The memorial at North Newton Church just lists the name, the battalion and the year they died. I wanted to track down what happened to them."
The 15 names on the memorial were all men from North Newton who died during the First World War.
Russ' grandfather fought in the war and was one of the lucky ones who survived.
Russ said: "I wanted to find the names and what happened to the people in the village who didn't come back.
"Professional interest linked into personal interest. It became a labour of love. I was born there and I went to the village school in North Newton. It will always be home to me."
Researching the names on the memorial ended up being an emotional journey for Russ.
He said: "When I was a little boy in the 60s, my mum used to get me and my sister to sing 'Two Little Boys' at the church. An old man called Walter Parsons from the village made me sing it again for him.
"One of the boys on the memorial was Oliver Parsons, his brother. He was poisoned by the German gas attacks. "There was a little bit in the Mercury about the funeral."
Thanks to some help from the Mercury archives, Russ managed to track down what happened to each of the names on the war memorial.
His plan now is to self-publish the 16,000 pamphlet about everyone on the memorial and sell it at the church sometime later this year.

A MAJOR extension to a thriving £20 million Worcester business park can today be revealed - leading to a jobs bonanza.
Up to six new companies will be able to join the Great Western Business Park after councillors gave the green light to a big expansion.
The site, an old railway goods yard off Tolladine Road, is currently doing so well all the available units are fully occupied.
Worcester City Council's planning committee has approved the construction to start on a brand new, two-storey building containing 2,438 square metres of floor space.
The park's bosses say they will either let it to one or two major employers, or divide it up into six units for different firms.
No details have been released yet on how many jobs it could create - but the expansion is the biggest change to the park since it launched in 2008.
It is the biggest brownfield site in Worcester and is owned by St Modwen Developments, which bought 23.4 acres of the old Tolladine Goods Yard, near Shrub Hill Station, from former owner Rail Properties for £3.5 million.
The fresh phase of development will sit adjacent to the new headquarters for Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service.
Senior planning officer Alan Coleman said: "All of the current parts of this site are fully occupied, it's a real local success story and we hope that continues.
"The land we are talking about is still completely undeveloped but the access to it is already in place.
"We very much welcome this and recommend it for approval."
It was voted through unanimously by the committee, with councillors saying it will provide a major boost to the entire city.
Councillor Paul Denham said: "This is one of the very few development sites in my Rainbow Hill ward.
"It's vitally important to encourage job creation for the whole of Worcester, the first phase has been very successful.
"I hope we can get on with this so the next phase can be successful too."
The yard was once a significant centre for passenger and freight activity, but fell into disuse after the end of the age of steam in the mid-1960s.
The site currently employs around 250 people, with a range of industrial companies there include Storage King, an Australian-owned self-storage company.
SPAL Automotive UK, which imports goods for the car industry like parking sensors, security devices and cruise control accessories is also there.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/5/2013 (1567 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If you want to see what kind of film embodies the summer movie, look no further than next week's release of Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby (May 10).
Yes, it is based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel of the Jazz Age which, while set in the year 1922, remains a surgical dissection of the divide between the haves and the have-nots. Luhrmann casts Leonardo DiCaprio as the enigmatic title character, Carey Mulligan as the capricious Daisy Buchanan and Tobey Maguire as narrator Nick Carraway. Luhrmann also layers on flamboyant, lush 3D visuals and a contemporary soundtrack produced by Jay-Z.
That's in keeping with the director who plunked contemporary musical numbers -- Roxanne, Like a Virgin, Diamond Dogs -- into the Paris of 1899 in his 2001 movie Moulin Rouge.
But it is also in keeping with the summer movie, which tends to eschew the serious and sober (even if the source material is serious and sober) in favour of the gawdy, the ephemeral, the awesome.
Also on the slate for summer 2013:
We've been waiting for the other reboot to drop, and director J.J. Abrams obliges with Star Trek Into Darkness (May 16), the sequel to his 2009 Star Trek, starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto as Kirk and Spock, respectively, engaging in battle with a mysterious superhuman (Benedict Cumberbatch) with a serious grudge against Earth.
On May 24, the sequel action continues with Fast & Furious 6, the continuing saga of a group of outlaw street racers doing battle with a crew of, um, bad outlaw street racers. Starring Paul Walker, Vin Diesel and -- in his fourth (!) movie release of 2013 -- Dwayne Johnson.
On a lighter note, a different breed of outlaws, known as the Wolf Pack, return to Las Vegas for a final bout of raunchy comedy in The Hangover Part III, starring Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms.
Set 1,000 years after humanity has abandoned our home planet, After Earth (May 31) sees a father and son marooned on the fourth rock from the sun alongside creatures that have apparently evolved with the express purpose of killing humans. If that sounds intriguing, great, but bear in mind this was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, his Sixth Sense success long behind him, and puts professional offspring Jaden Smith in the lead while his pop Will Smith takes on a supporting role.
You loved them crashing weddings. You may love them crashing Google as Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson reunite as old-school salesmen attempting to get a leg up in the digital realm in The Internship (June 7).
Of all the trailers on view in the past month, the winner for funniest line of dialogue has got to be "Hermione just stole all our s ," from This is the End (June 12). The apocalyptic comedy stars Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jay Baruchel and Danny McBride as themselves, actors brought low from their cushy Hollywood existence when Armageddon strikes. Harry Potter's Emma Watson appears as a foul-mouthed, axe-wielding version of herself, inspiring the aforementioned Hermione observation from McBride.
Coincidentally, Watson goes bad again as one of a group of real-life Hollywood felons in The Bling Ring (June), directed by Sofia Coppola.
Superman returns -- again -- in Man of Steel (June 14), a necessary reboot of the Superman franchise after Bryan Singer's 2006 attempt, Superman Returns, registered only as a slavish imitation of Richard Donner's original franchise starter. Director Zack Snyder was hired to inject some new blood in the franchise with star Henry Cavill (The Immortals).
Lovable monsters Mike Wazowski (Billy Crystal) and Sulley Sullivan (John Goodman) return for a prequel to Monsters Inc. showing how they met in their youth at Monsters University (June 21).
It's zombies that are matriculating in the much anticipated World War Z (June 21), an adaptation of Max Brooks' novel starring Brad Pitt as a government type investigating the whys and wherefores of a worldwide zombie plague. Reportedly, it was a troubled production, but director Marc Forster does give us something different: zombies with a weird swarming capability.
The second home invasion thriller of the year where the address is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Roland Emmerich's White House Down (June 28) is bigger and more star-studded than the spring's Olympus Has Fallen, with Jamie Foxx as the prez and Channing Tatum as a cop who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In a lighter vein, the action is a little more goofy in The Heat (June 28) wherein a straight-shooting cop (Sandra Bullock) finds herself paired with a rule-bending rogue (Melissa McCarthy) in a comedy from the director of Bridesmaids, Paul Feig.
Can Johnny Depp and director Gore Verbinski do for the western what they did for the pirate movie with Pirates of the Caribbean? We'll know July 3 at the unveiling (unmasking?) of The Lone Ranger (July 3) starring Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as the masked man.
The bad guy is the good guy once again in Despicable Me 2 (July 3) as former villain Gru (voiced by Steve Carell) is obliged to join an anti-villain league to help stop some new threat to mankind. Al Pacino and Kristen Wiig provide other voices.
When giant-sized monsters threaten Earth, humans create robots of equal size to do battle. Is it a remake of Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla? No, it's Pacific Rim (July 12), Guillermo del Toro's attempt to give us all the spectacle of a Transformers movie with the added incentive of an actual plot.
What can you say about a sequel to a comedy you didn't find remotely funny? Grown Ups 2 (July 12) stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade.
A snail voiced by Ryan Reynolds wants to win the Indy 500 in the oddball 'toon Turbo (July 17).
Reynolds gets even more oddball in R.I.P.D. (July 19) as a slain cop who joins up with fellow undead lawman Jeff Bridges on a special after-life task force committed to taking down paranormal bad guys.
RED 2 (July 19) sees a group of retired assassins (including Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren) back in action to track down a portable nuclear device with Anthony Hopkins along for the ride as a dotty scientist.
Director James Wan returns with his Insidious star Patrick Wilson for The Conjuring (July 19), a real-life haunted-house story co-starring Vera Farmiga and Lili Taylor.
After the disappointing X-Men Origins, Hugh Jackman gets all feral in Japan in The Wolverine (July 26).
What can you say about a sequel to a cartoon you had no desire to see in the first place? The Smurfs 2 opens July 31.
Aug. 2 sees the release of 2 Guns, starring Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg as a DEA agent and a Naval Intelligence officer, respectively, pitted against one another by the mob.
Sure, just about everybody died at the end of the 2006 film 300, but there are new armies to conquer in 300: Rise of an Empire (Aug. 2), wherein that pesky invading army of Persians under Xerxes takes on the Greek general Themistocles.
As long as you're in the mood for ancient Greece, the sequel Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (Aug. 7) resumes the adventures of the modern-day son of Poseidon (Logan Lerman) on a quest for the Golden Fleece in the Bermuda Triangle.
A caustic take on the family comedy, We're the Millers (Aug. 9) sees a small-time dope dealer (Jason Sudeikis) joining forces with a stripper (Jennifer Aniston) and a runaway (Emma Roberts) to masquerade as a middle-class family taking their RV on a vacation to, ahem, Mexico.
The rich one per cent live on a luxurious orbiting space station and the remaining 99 live on a decaying planet Earth in Elysium (Aug. 9), director Neill Blomkamp's follow-up to District 9 starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster.
Disney presents the story of a little plane that could in Planes (Aug. 9) featuring the voice of Dane Cook as Dusty Crophopper, a crop-duster with aspirations to be an aerial racer.
Teen punk costumed heroes resume their crime-fighting ways against some formidable opposition in Kick-Ass 2 (Aug. 16) which introduces Jim Carrey as a new character, a psychotic would-be hero dubbed Colonel Stars and Stripes.
Firmly in the Harry Potter/Percy Jackson mould, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (Aug. 23) is about an ordinary teen (Lily Collins) who discovers she is in fact a shadowhunter, a half-angel warrior assigned to destroy demons on Earth.
Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright conclude the unofficial trilogy (that began with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz) with The World's End (Aug. 23), the story of a few blokes whose attempt at a legendary pub crawl is interrupted by the apocalypse.
Finally, what can you say about a 3D boy-band concert movie? One Direction: This Is Us opens Aug. 30.

I'm trying to use this method of navigation for my responsive website: http://css-tricks.com/convert-menu-to-dropdown/
The problem I'm having is my navigation for mobile isn't working. I can select the items but it doesn't send me to any page when I select a item from the list. Here is the website: http://css-tricks.com/convert-menu-to-dropdown/
Anyone have any idea why it's not functioning how it should?
We'd need to see the site in question or at least your own html and css to debug further.:)
http://test.koolcollar4dogs.com/ woopsy. I accidentally posted the same link twice.
Where's the main jquery file that this js needs:
$("nav select").change(function() {
window.location = $(this).find("option:selected").val();
Is this what is missing?
// Create the dropdown base
$("<select />").appendTo("nav");
// Create default option "Go to..."
$("<option />", {
"selected": "selected",
"value" : "",
"text" : "Go to..."
}).appendTo("nav select");
// Populate dropdown with menu items
$("nav a").each(function() {
var el = $(this);
$("<option />", {
"value" : el.attr("href"),
"text" : el.text()
}).appendTo("nav select");
I tried putting that in but it didn't seem to do anything either. I'll try it again.
No, you don't have the jquery library added which is what the script is using.
e.g. This if you want to link directly:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
It should go above all other scripts.
Ahh ok, that makes sense. I've added it yet it's still not working. I'm really not familiar with java or jquery so I'm at a loss to what's happening in this code. Perhaps there is a line or two that I need to tweak?
Oh figured it out. Had to add <nav> tags to the navigation in the HTML. Thanks for your help Paul!

Awesome Scanner
I purchased the HP G4050 scanjet photo scanner on 11-07-07 from Overstock.com and after using it for a couple of weeks I'm now ready to give a review on it. 1. I contacted Overstock via Live Chat to see if the scanner is compatible with Windows Vista and they told me no. I saw some place via the internet that it is compatible so I shopped for a scanner on HP's website and saw that the G4050 is Vista compatible so I went ahead and ordered it. 2. The installation was so simple and it installed on Windows Vista perfectly. 3. I had an old photo album of my Mother-In-Law's and didn't want to destroy the page with 6 pictures to the page on it but then discovered the scanner separates the pictures for you so you can work with each picture individually without cropping them. The scanner is noisy like all the other scanners I have owned but that is the only drawback I see. 4. Remember to turn the scanner off after your through scanning. Over all this is a great scanner with features on it, for example, it has a PDF button which I like plus the buttons are on the top of the lid for easy access. You won't go wrong purchasing this scanner.Read More

G4050 Scanner
What a total POS. I scanned less tan 100 slides and the bulb failed. I have the skill set to replace the bulb but you can't buy one. HP offers an exchange service but the price for an exchange is more than the unit cost. Why would I consider a replacement unit when I hate the unit I bought? The software that comes with this scanner is also well below industry standards. It is cumbersome and slow. I'm not surprised to see this unit being unloaded by many on line services - it's pretty obvious the scanner is a *** I have been an HP customer for decades but they are now at the bottom of my list. Can you say ZERO support.Read More

Very happy with this scanner. So far have scanned documents, photos, and a few negatives. Have yet to dive in and scan slides, but I expect it to perform sufficiently based on results so far. Thanks Overstock for offering this item and for its quick arrival.Read More

— July 2001
By Tim Clark
|Will the Raymarine Argonaut win over boaters made queasy by old onboard PCs?
In April Xplore Technologies announced an agreement with Argonaut Computer and Raymarine to jointly develop and market an onboard computing system that will interface with a variety of navigational electronics and handle applications including chartplotting, radar overlay, e-mail, weather communications, and remote-sensor monitoring. Although computers designed or modified for use at sea have been around for years, Xplore's announcement is exciting news, mainly because of Raymarine's involvement. A PC stamped with the logo of a company of its size and stature may cause a sweeping change in boat owners' attitudes toward onboard computers.
What is that attitude presently? Squeamish. The median age of the readers of this magazine (nearly 95 percent of whom are boat owners) is 55. This age group represents one of the more PC-leery segments of American society: men and women who endured the dawn of the PC in the late `70s and may still have difficulty shaking memories of inscrutable green screens on the blink more often than on the job. Some of those who use PCs nevertheless feel forced to do so and continue to view them with a combination of resentment and suspicion. For them the notion of centralizing their boat's navigational electronics on such a machine is unappetizing.
There are also many who have managed, often because they own or head up businesses, to avoid altogether facing the dreaded screen and keyboard. What's the point, they say, when you oversee an army of employees eager to churn out another spreadsheet or word processor document?

I'd appreciate some advice about trying to implement very simple CSS in an email generated from a system.
The system is a corporate learning management system. It generates a large number of notification emails. The instructions are, in the notification setup section, to put the HTML for an email into what it calls a text block. The text block is then sent by the system as an inline attachment. The corporate email system is MS Outlook 2007. I don't have to cater for multiple email clients. I've been trying to do two things with very mixed success:
In terms of CSS, I've read a bit and know I have to use tables for layout, not CSS. I've been able to successfully set the font and font size, and to give one table cell a background colour. These work in any email client. What I can't do is get a border on the table to show in Outlook 2007. I've tried inline CSS and putting it in the
 tag and it just won't display a border in Outlook 2007. (Other email clients show it.)
As for the banner image, the system providers said I should just put the URL of the image in the HTML as normal. The email arrives with an empty box where the image should be. No alt text, no 'Right click to display images'. Just a box. The email also includes an iCal appointment. Strangely if you accept the appointment it appears in your calendar WITH the banner image.
The system also enables you attach the banner image and reference it in the HTML - just by its name, not a full URL. If I do that the display depends on how you have Outlook set up. If you have a Reading Pane shown. The email appears in the Reading Pane with no image. If you double click it so it opens in its own window, the banner image is there inline where it should be AND as an attachment. However if you don't have a Reading Pane and just double click the email title from the Inbox it opens in a new window WITHOUT the banner :nono:
I've put a sample of the HTML here. You'll see that I've duplicated a lot of CSS trying to get the border to display.
