Is it possible to be allergic to eggplant? —C.H., Hinesburg, Vt.
Yes, but it's less common than allergies to other foods from the nightshade family, which include bell peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes. People who are sensitive to eggplant are often allergic to latex too, possibly because the two share some of the same proteins.
Eggplants also contain histamines, substances that can trigger inflammation and allergic symptoms such as hives. The allergy appears more common among women than men. If you think you might have an eggplant allergy, see an allergist for a skin-prick test. If it turns out you're also allergic to latex, you'll probably need to avoid both substances, since repeated exposure to either of them can cause the latex allergy to worsen.

Ministry of Interior Launches Pilot Civil Registration Web Based Database
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 06 March 2013 11:07
Kampong Cham, 6 March 2013: In collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Planning (MoP) and USAID Better Health Services Project (BHS) implemented by University Research Co, LLC (URC), the Ministry of Interior (MoI) on 26 February 2013 launched a pilot web based application for recording and reporting civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS).
The pilot is launched in Kampong Cham province with four selected Sangkats of Kampong Cham Municipality and seven selected communes of O' Raing Ov District for the duration of 12 months.
The launching ceremony was presided over by several honorable guests: (1) His Excellency Leng Vy, the General Director of the General Department of Local Administrative Department, Ministry of Interior, (2) His Excellency Luon Limthai, Deputy Provincial Governor of Kampong Cham province and (3) Dr. Mean Reatanak Sambath, M&E and Health Informatics Program Leader of URC.
HE Leng Vy deeply thanked USAID for its support through URC. He stressed the tremendous opportunity of applying CRVS web based applications to improve the timeliness of reports and access to data and information on registrations.
A total of around 80 government staff from MoI, MoH, MoP, Provincial, district and commune offices attended the launching session.
The CRVS web application records and reports data of births, certified births, marriage and deaths. Data tracks causes of deaths, for example facilitating the reporting of maternal deaths by commune officers. Data is shared at all levels of government and between different Ministries and Sub-National Administrations.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/5/2011 (2273 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG - Downtown Winnipeg has erupted into a red, white and blue party with the news that the Jets — whatever they will be called — are coming home.
Thousands gathered in the public square at The Forks downtown and watched the announcement on a big screen.
Many wore old Jets jerseys, caps or buttons, even though the ownership group says it hasn't decided on a name for the NHL team.
Wearing a hockey helmet, a Jets jersey and a Canadian flag cape, fan Braden Hill said Winnipeg's spirit is back.
Another fan, Jason Loewen, says part of the city's heart was lost when the Jets left 15 years ago.
There may have been love for the Jets in the square, but it didn't extend to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman — fans booed and chanted "Bettman sucks" when he appear on the screen.

Chiawa stands on the banks of the Zambezi River, in the Lower Zambezi.
Chiawa Camp: Our full report
Chiawa Camp is situated on the banks of the Zambezi River, beneath a grove of mahogany trees in the heart of Zambia's game-rich Lower Zambezi National Park. Opened by the Cumings family in 1989, Chiawa was the first camp in the park and is still run by a member of the family, Grant Cumings, who is very hands on. Over the years, the camp has evolved in size and comfort to a high degree of understated luxury.
As with most camps in the Lower Zambezi, Chiawa is open only during the drier months, between about mid-April and mid-November. The camp has nine very comfortable Meru-style tents, all beautifully furnished in neutral colours and mahogany wood, and with en-suite bathrooms. Linked to the main areas by sandy pathways, they all have broadly similar facilities but some differ in terms of their layout or outlook.
- Six of Chiawa's tents (numbers 1–6) overlook the main Zambezi River and are closest to the main area. These tents are raised on wooden platforms, large and sturdy, and are entered by a proper door to the back or side. The front opens out onto a private veranda with lounge chairs and a coffee table. Inside, each tent is large and open plan, incorporating a bedroom, bathroom and changing area. As well as twin beds, or a double, beneath a mosquito net, you'll find a wooden writing desk, ceiling and free-standing fans, and two armchairs. Located behind the bed are a changing area and the bathroom, with twin sinks set into a wooden counter, a free-standing bath, flush loo and rain shower. A private outdoor shower completes the picture.
- Two of the tents (7 and 8) have similar facilities to the rest, but these tents are a little bigger and each has a bathroom which is set off to the side of the open-plan bedroom and lounge area, rather than behind it. Because they catch the afternoon sun, these also have thatched roofs for extra shade. Tent seven overlooks both the Zambezi and the Chowe rivers, whilst eight overlooks the often-dry Chowe River.
- One tent, at the far end of the camp (tent 9) beside the Chowe River, is slightly different again. Its bathroom is open-fronted, although still under a canvas roof and on a raised deck. This tent has been moved relatively recently to a new location, right up on top of a hill – giving it more privacy and better views.
The main area at Chiawa is a double-storey construction with uninterrupted views across the Zambezi River. Built mostly of dark wood, reeds and thatch, it exudes a pleasantly rustic air of outdoor living. Downstairs you'll find the bar, and two separate lounge areas with wooden chairs and benches and cane furniture with soft cushions in neutral tones and earthy reds. There's also a small library of books and magazines and a natural-history display table. Upstairs is a third comfortable seating area and viewing deck with a telescope.
The food at Chiawa is usually excellent and most meals are taken in the separate dining area, which is open to the front and overlooks the river. Dinner is often by candlelight under the stars, but on our most recent visit we were treated to dinner away from camp in a section of dry riverbed, illuminated by candles and storm lanterns.
Lunch is a movable feast, perhaps under the shade of the trees or on Chiawa's motorised pontoon, and breakfast is set up around the campfire. In the dining room you'll also find a 'help yourself' tea and coffee table, which is always stocked with freshly baked biscuits.
For those hot days on the Zambezi, Chiawa Camp has a small shaded plunge pool. You might also be tempted by the small shop, stocked with good-quality curios.
With a team of excellent and enthusiastic guides, Chiawa offers a full range of flexible activities, which include game drives (day and night) in open 4WDs, walking safaris, canoeing and boat trips. Catch-and-release fishing on fly and conventional tackle (using artificial bait) with expert guides and custom-built pontoon boats is also an option.
The guides are professional and knowledgeable, and over numerous visits since our first in 1995, we've come to appreciate their willingness to go out of their way to try to fulfill each guest's interests. Having said that, if you're serious about fishing then consider booking a private boat, especially during September and October when fishing here is at its best and demand for this activity can be high. Expect a cost of around US$175 per boat for half a day (about four hours) or US$350 for a full day. The number of boats is limited to two, so advance booking is advisable.
In the corner of the camp Chiawa has an elevated viewing platform, which overlooks the confluence of the dry riverbed of the Chowe River (often referred to as the Chiawa River) and the Zambezi River, which is ideal for watching animals come down for their midday drink. There are also two hides, one just outside the entrance of the camp next to the river, and one sunk into the ground next to a waterhole, allowing a unique 'eye-level' view of buffalo, warthogs and other thirsty animals.
Over numerous visits, including most recently in October 2014, the game viewing in the Chiawa area has been superb. It's not unusual for camps downriver to head west to watch wildlife in the area, or for vehicles from the GMA just outside the park boundaries to head east. On our last visit we were able to spot a pride of lions, four leopards, a jackal, porcupines and zebra all in one evening drive. If you're lucky you might also see wild dog, which were spotted twice in 2014, but don't expect giraffe, wildebeest or cheetah as they're not found in this area.
For the keen birdwatcher, the Lower Zambezi is great for both water and land birds. Boating, canoeing and walking safaris give a different perspective and if you're very quiet and cautious, may sometimes allow you to get closer to the birds without disturbing them. Great sightings have included the giant eagle owl, spurwinged geese, kingfishers and an abundance of Goliath herons. From around September to November, the carmine bee-eaters are quite a spectacle.
Chiawa's team is one of the founder members of Conservation Lower Zambezi, a non-governmental organisation which aims to reduce poaching and misuse of resources in Zambia's Lower Zambezi. Chiawa remains particularly active in its support of CLZ, and Expert Africa has also started to help support this worthy charity.
Our viewIn many ways, we think Chiawa is one of the best, and best-run, camps in Africa. The service and food are top-notch, with a team who tend to go out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable – and left us feeling that nothing was too much trouble. The camp manages to be luxurious, while still feeling homely and welcoming, a balance that can be difficult to get right. A good complement of excellent guides and a flexible attitude towards activities means that guests will usually get to do what they want, more or less when they want. We love it.
Location: Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia
Ideal length of stay: We recommend a minimum of three nights at Chiawa, although many visitors stay for longer to take advantage of the variety of activities on offer. Chiawa also combines well with its sister camp, Old Mondoro.
Directions: Following a flight of about 35 minutes from Lusaka to Royal airstrip, the transfer to camp is around 20 minutes by 4WD, and a further 20 minutes by boat.
Accessible by: Fly-and-Transfer
Key personnel
Owner: Owned and run by Grant Cumings and his family.
Food & drink
Usual board basis: Full Board
Food quality: Expert Africa team members have visited Chiawa Camp many times, first in 1995! On our most recent visit in October 2014, as on previous stays, the food was typically very good and the portions very generous.
You'll be woken just before sunrise with a 'knock knock', when tea or coffee will be brought to the door of your tent. Guests meet around the campfire for a light breakfast, which usually consists of toast, muffins or pastries, cereal, yoghurt and porridge.
Lunch is served at around 11.00am or 11.30am, once you've had some time to freshen up after your morning activity. Lunch may be enjoyed in various places around the camp in the cool shade of trees, but most recently we were treated to one of Chiawa's special lunches on their motorised pontoon. We had rare beef fillet, sautéed potatoes, three different salads and homemade garlic bread. The food was delicious, and enjoyed while watching numerous elephants and buffalo along the riverbank. The lunch that we had at the lodge was a very tasty vegetable carbonara with a selection of salads, although it is also possible to also order eggs, sausages and bacon.
Afternoon tea at about 3.30pm usually involves both a freshly baked cake or cookies and a savoury dish. Then you're off on your afternoon activity.
Dinner is usually a four course meal served under the stars in the main area, and we recently enjoyed a potato rosti with crème freche and cured ham, French onion soup and chicken stuffed with sundried tomatoes with a basil sauce and butternut squash mash. Dessert was a delicious slice of chocolate torte. On our last visit we were also treated to dinner in the bush, with a variety of meats cooked on a brie accompanied by some traditional Zambian dishes.
Dining style: Group Meals
Dining locations: Indoor and Outdoor Dining
Cost of meal e.g. lunch: Included
Drinks included: Bottled water, soft drinks, local beers and spirits, and a selection of South African red and white wines are included. Champagne and cellar wines are excluded.
Further dining info: No
Special interests
Solo Travel: Chiawa is never cheap, but it has no single supplement, making it a more affordable option for solo travel in Zambia. A combination of communal meals and incredibly friendly staff also means solo travellers shouldn't lack for company.See more ideas for Solo Travel in Zambia
Honeymoons: Chiawa's tents are very comfortable; perfect for a Zambia honeymoon. Couples can dine privately in their room, or dine romantically on the camps motorized pontoon. Bathtubs big enough for two and shared showers under the stars add to the romance.See more ideas for Honeymoons in Zambia
Birdwatching: Chiawa is a particularly good Zambia camp for bird-watching: it's great for water and land birds, with expert guides. Boating, walks and a game hide give different perspectives. Favourites here include an osprey, eagle owls, kingfishers ans carmine bee-eaters.See more ideas for Birdwatching in Zambia
Photography holidays: Chiawa's open-topped 4WD vehicles are ideal for photography, whilst boating, canoeing and two hides (overlooking waterholes) give different perspectives on the wildlife. Then there's the camps excellent guides, and the stunning backdrop scenery of the escarpment behind camp.See more ideas for Photography holidays in Zambia
Wildlife safaris: The Lower Zambezi is one of the best parks for wildlife safaris in Zambia; Chiawa is one of very few camps inside the park itself and has top-notch guides. Red-filtered spotlights further improve night drives, creating less disruption to the wildlife.See more ideas for Wildlife safaris in Zambia
Luxury: With uninterrupted views across the Zambezi River, Chiawa's classic tents are furnished in mahogany. Attention to detail and quality abound: this is a tightly-run ship! Expect food that would grace a top restaurant, and an impressive range of activities delivered by an attentive team.See more ideas for Luxury in Zambia
Attitude towards children: Chiawa welcomes mature and responsible children over the age of eight years. However, the minimum age for walking and canoeing is 12.
Property's age restrictions: Minimum age of children visiting is 8 years, however walking and canoeing has a minimum age of 12.
Equipment: An extra bed could be made up in the tents and Chiawa have a bunk bed that they can add at a squeeze. Alternatively, tents 1 and 2 are the closest together, and would work for a family with older children only - but you'd still need an adult in each tent as nobody is allowed to walk around alone after dark.
Generally recommended for children: Activities are limited for younger children and so we believe that Chiawa is best suited for responsible and mature children over the age of 12 years.
Notes: Chiawa Camp is unfenced and dangerous wildlife often wanders through. The riverbank is open, and steep in parts, and the swimming pool is unfenced. Children need to be closely supervised by their parents at all times.
Power supply: Generator
Power supply notes: There are plug points in the tents for charging batteries, iPads, phones etc.
Communications: There is no direct phone line – although the camp does have satellite communications for emergencies. Cellphone reception is very intermittent and not reliable. WiFi is available, but is very slow and is restricted to guest tents; it does not allow for transmission of images or applications such as Skype or Facetime.
TV & radio: No
Water supply: Other
Water supply notes: Water is pumped from the Zambezi River and is filtered. Showers and bathtubs are plumbed in, with hot and cold running water. There are flushing toilets.
Health & safety
Malarial protection recommended: Yes
Medical care: The camp managers and guides are trained in first-aid. The closest doctor is in the village, 1½ hours away by boat. In case of medical emergency, guests would be evacuated to Lusaka and then potentially to Johannesburg.
Dangerous animals: High Risk
Security measures: Chiawa is an unfenced camp, on the edge of the Zambezi River. Wildlife, including elephant, hippo and leopard are known to roam through the camp on a regular basis. Guests are escorted to their tents after dark and a safety radio is provided in each tent.
Fire safety: There are fire buckets with water at all the tents and behind all the thatched buildings. There's also a fire blanket and fire extinguishers in the kitchen.
Disabled access: On Request
Laundry facilities: A full laundry service is included, except for ladies' underwear, for cultural reasons. Washing powder is provided in each bathroom for this purpose, as is a small washing line.
Money: There is a safe in each tent. The camp does not offer any currency-exchange facilities.
Accepted payment on location: Any extras such as purchases from the shop or special fishing trips, need to be settled in cash, preferably in Zambian kwacha. However, small amounts of US dollars are usually acceptable.

How to Get Your Child To Take Cod Liver OilHealthy Pregnancy, Baby & Child
Hands down, one of the most frequent questions I get via email is how to get a child to take cod liver oil.
What are you going to do if they spit it out after all? Not a whole lot except clean up the mess on the floor!
Once they spit it out after the first try, a toddler will typically refuse to open his/her mouth again for a second go. What is to be done at this point? Prying the mouth open and shoving a spoon or eyedropper in there in decidedly not a wise approach!
Sometimes it is best to just throw in the towel until the child is older and other methods of coaxing can be effectively used such as dessert after dinner if the dose is taken or a favorite TV show or activity can be withheld for really stubborn cases.
But what to do in the meantime once the wall of refusal has been firmly erected by your child?
Stop the Gag Reflex Temporarily with Acupressure
If your child doesn't like to take cod liver oil due to gagging, using a simple acupressure technique can stop the gag reflex for about 30 seconds.
Skin Readily Absorbs Cod Liver Oil
If you'd like to bypass taking cod liver oil by mouth, the nutrients in cod liver oil are readily absorbed by the skin too!
Drug companies are increasingly taking advantage of the ability of skin to absorb chemicals of all kinds with the smokers patch being one of the most well known. There are now skin patches for birth control and even a patch for motion sickness when you take a cruise or fly in a plane.
Skin will not only readily absorb drugs but it also absorbs nutrients. When you sunbathe with no sunscreen, the vitamin D forms in the tiny pools of oil on your skin to be easily and quickly absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
There is evidence that oil itself is also absorbed by the skin. Midwives frequently suggest rubbing castor oil on the belly of a pregnant woman who is overdue in order to stimulate contractions.
Using this information to get cod liver oil into your child with no swallowing needed is just the ticket!
Where to Apply the Cod Liver Oil?
Since the type of cod liver oil I recommend – the fermented kind – does indeed stain clothing and burn the eyes, it is important to put the cod liver oil in an area that is not easily accessed by little fingers and hands.
The best place for application then is your child's bare bottom. Slathering a bit of cod liver oil on his/her bottom at diaper change time works really well. In fact, this is what the owners of Green Pasture Products, manufacturer of the fermented cod liver oil, did with their youngest child who was quite the stubborn case when it came to taking his daily cod liver oil dose!
You can slather the 1/4 -1/2 tsp daily dose on at one time if you like. There's no need to put it on at every diaper change.
If your child is out of diapers already, you can slather the cod liver oil on the belly area instead and wrap some gauze around the torso to keep it from contacting clothing. This approach also works for older children with disabilities who may not be able to respond to the reasoning approach.
Don't worry about a fishy smell either. Any fishy odor is surprisingly gone within just a few minutes of application to the skin!
Which Cod Liver Oil Product to Use?
It is your personal choice whether to apply the plain fermented cod liver oil or use the fermented cod liver oil blended with the high vitamin butter oil. Both will be absorbed although I would suggest using the blend given that the two oils work together in a synergistic fashion and seem to increase the potency and effectiveness of the other according to the research of Dr. Weston A. Price.
Using this concept of skin absorption of nutrients, Green Pasture Products is currently in the process of developing some new skin based products that contain the fermented cod liver oil and high vitamin butter oil.
In the meantime, just slathering on the same stuff you would normally take off the spoon will work just fine!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2012 (2035 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
There are very few guarantees in this world -- death, taxes and the fact Steven Seagal will never, ever utter the words 'I'd like to thank the Academy for this award' being the exceptions -- but this is almost a given:
Right about now Winnipeg Jets' GM Kevin Cheveldayoff is thinking about pulling the trigger on a possible trade, pulling the plug on a possible trade or pulling the battery out of his cellphone for a brief respite from the trade talk madness.
The NHL trade deadline is a little over a month away -- Feb. 27, to be exact -- and the Jets' boss has some serious pondering to do with his team 10th in the Eastern Conference, five points out of a playoff spot and 3-8-1 in January.
Does he deal for immediate help in an attempt to stop the bleeding?
Does he deal for long-term help, be it a prospect or draft picks?
Or does he do a little bit of both, effectively making the Jets both buyers AND sellers before the deadline?
"We've been very open and candid about our situation: We're always going to be buyers for things that are going to help us in the future," Cheveldayoff told the Free Press. "That's the approach we've taken and that's the approach we're going to continue to take.
"But that's an astute way to look at it: when you move an asset you are essentially a buyer and a seller. Everything comes at a cost and that's where you have to determine if you want to pay the cost and if the price is reasonable."
Now, if you're looking for some sort deep, trade-talk revelation here from the Jets GM, you're about to be disappointed. Cheveldayoff, like most of his counterparts, is an outstanding poker player. In fact, he's mastered the art of conducting interviews but revealing diddly squat.
Instead, what Cheveldayoff did provide in a recent chat is an affirmation of what could be called his team-building/trade deadline commandments.
They are:
Thou shalt not get an itchy trading finger:
"For me, it's not about making a deal for the sake of it," Cheveldayoff said. "I don't approach this deadline or any other deadline sitting here thinking, 'I MUST do something.' My must is I must spend each and every day doing everything I can to help this team both short and long term. That's my only 'must.' If that means making a trade today, tomorrow, at the trade deadline or at the draft table or July 1st, then you do it.
"But we're not going to do something just to see the transaction on the board."
Thou shalt remember the best move is often to fold, rather than go all in:
"Just because you make a deal doesn't necessarily mean you're going to have instant success. Just because you don't make a deal doesn't mean you're going to flounder. There's so many different things that happen throughout the year... sometimes getting a player back from injury is as good as making any kind of deal you could possibly make.
"Every team has different wants, needs, pressure points, willingness and philosophy. It is a supply and demand market, no question about it. If you don't need a defenceman, then you're not in that market, but if you need a centre and there's no centre, good luck trying to get one. It just depends on the depth in your organization. I've seen a lot of situations where there are no moves made but a guy in the minors gets an opportunity to play and sometimes those pay dividends as well."
Thou shalt not dismantle a 'good' dressing room:
"We've been around these guys enough to the point where you get a handle of who are the guys that are the glue in the room. These guys go to battle each and every night together. There's a bond. And when you take somebody out of that bond it hurts the family. But it's part of the business and they all know there's a harsher side."
Thou shalt not peddle talented young prospects with upside:
"Are there untouchables? We've talked about it. We're looking to build for the long term and our long term is our young players who are going to continue to grow. We want players that want to be Winnipeg Jets. We want to sign players that want to be Winnipeg Jets. We want to draft players who want to be Jets. That's part of our assessment: Who is part of the big picture and who is going to help you have the greatest success."

jets hope break helps C2
Some key facts to consider during the NHL's All-Star Game break and with the trade deadline a month away:
The deadline: Monday, Feb. 27, 2 p.m. CT.
The standings: The Jets are 22-22-6; 10th in the Eastern Conference, 22nd overall.
Jets needs: The team is 22nd in goals for (2.46 per game); 17th in goals against. More top-six forward help would be a plus: Blake Wheeler leads the team with 33 points (9 goals) and, heading into Wednesday's action, there were 26 players with more goals than the Jets' leading goal-scorer -- Evander Kane -- who has 18.
Jets assets: The team has a deep defensive corps, making them attractive to organizations seeking puck-moving defencemen. Consider, too, that two of the best Jet prospects are Zach Redmond and Paul Postma, both offensive D-men heading to the AHL all-star game.
Worth noting: Winnipeg's current salary cap is $53,267,291 or 24th overall according to capgeek.com. (The cap ceiling is $64.3 million). Their average age of 26.7 puts them among the nine youngest teams in the NHL.
Worth noting: Winnipeg's unrestricted free agents, those players who could be rentals for teams making a run at a Cup, are: Johnny Oduya, Jim Slater, Tanner Glass, Kyle Wellwood, Tim Stapleton, Randy Jones, Mark Flood and Chris Mason.

My husband and I went to the Army-Navy game last weekend. One of the first of what I hope will be many adventures as he segues from working full time to a part-time, semi-retired schedule.
The stands were full of the proud family members of cadets and midshipmen, plus a host of veterans who still care about the outcome of service academy football.
Halftime entertainment included a skydiving exhibition by both Army and Navy experts. The vet sitting next to me spent the whole show urging me to give skydiving a try. "You're not too old. Age doesn't matter," he insisted.
Skydiving lessons aren't included in my retirement planning, and he was right, age doesn't have anything to do with it. Skydiving scared me silly 40 years ago.
But my skydiving friend did make a good point, says Eleanor Blayney, consumer advocate for Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. She believes a retirement plan should include enough resources to allow for a little experimentation as we move into a stage of life that offers more time to reinvent ourselves.
Here's some of her sage advice for anyone approaching retirement:
- Understand Social Security. Knowing everything there is to know about Social Security will help ensure that you get the most from your benefits.
- Look beyond pretty pictures. Investigate all aspects of the new locale before you make a retirement move to a new community -- especially a retirement community. Making a mistake could be expensive.
- Bump up your social capital. Build and use your social networks to rekindle old friendships, meet new people and try new activities. Investigate the services that are offered to seniors in your community.
- Devote some time and effort to investing your assets. Get expert help, but also understand what your adviser is doing with your money.

Smoked Turkey and Onion Burgers With Sharp Cheddarby Robin Miller in Uncategorized, January 23, 2013
I always have a bottle of liquid smoke in my refrigerator. Why? Hickory or mesquite, both are amazing and add tremendous flavor in one small shot (like 1 teaspoon). I like the simple ingredient list: water, natural smoke flavor (mesquite or hickory), vinegar, molasses and caramel color. The hickory has a little added salt, but just 10 mg of sodium per teaspoon. These are all-natural ingredients that truly catapult a meal without changing good nutritional numbers (many times, a smoky, BBQ flavor means lots of added salt). Check out how I use liquid smoke to jazz up these burgers. Enjoy these tonight and then experiment by adding liquid smoke to your favorite chicken, beef, pork and shellfish recipes.
Smoked Turkey and Onion Burgers With Sharp Cheddar
20 ounces ground turkey breast
1/2 cup finely diced white onion
2 teaspoons liquid smoke, mesquite or hickory
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
4 ounces sliced or shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 whole wheat hamburger buns
4 Romaine lettuce leaves
In a large bowl, combine the turkey, onion, liquid smoke and salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and shape the mixture into 4 burgers, each about 1-inch thick.
Spray a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high. Add the burgers to the hot pan and cook 3-5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Add the cheese and cook 30 seconds, until the cheese melts.
Serve the burgers on the buns and top with lettuce.

We were at Tin Roof last year and it was mostly OSU fans. I plan on heading there again.
Almost gave you a +1 until I read that last sentence....c'mon man....
I don't think the rushing stats are correct. As far as I know JT didn't reach 1000 yds rushing. Impressive nonetheless!
I'm excited to watch him compete. If he didn't work hard or wasn't good enough Urban would have held the door open for him. He obviously has what it takes. Now let's beat the badgers!
I think 11W should have a weekly "shaming of idiots who tweet" column. Think of it as the internet policing itself.
Thats Eva Longoria....
The Justin Hilliard "situation" reminds me of Zeke's recruitment. In the end, I think the result will be the same. Go Bucks!
I'm wonder if having so many Fr/So players starting this year has a negative impact on recruiting? Some kids may take it as a challenge, but other may think they won't see the field until their Junior year.
Boy am I glad he didn't decide to attend Mizzou!
Didn't he take all online classes? So he didn't even have to wake up and go lol
Every kid is different. It's not always about football. ND could have the edge being a Catholic School, who knows?
Who's the guy that makes the big play on a MUST GET 3rd/4th down? I'm not sure we know yet. Maybe for once its not just one guy?
It's always nice to be reminded that the number of stars next to a recruit's name doesn't always indicate what type of college player they will be. Some of the best players we've had at OSU are the lesser-known guys coming out of High School. Worked out OK for AJ Hawk, Malcom Jenkins, Bradley Roby!!
He should have no problem getting one. Think it was mentioned on the call-in show.
No Bueno
<------- Kool Aide!!!!
I like this, but i think ND would fall under traditional power. And instead of the service academy teams I'd like to see a non-power 5 team from the American, ConfUSA, Mountain West, etc.
I want Bielema to be the next UM coach. I miss hating on that fat dingleberry
If he commits can we call him El Nino? Heir apparent to El Guapo?
Hopefully he can use this Kent State game to gain some confidence. I'm sure he was nervous playing his first game in the Shoe under the lights. If he couldn't catch he wouldn't be on this team. I have faith!
Definitely agree, however Cincy hasn't played a game yet...I think this is definitely a disadvantage for them.
What is the OSU coaching staff doing to try and confuse teams? I feel like we haven't brought anything creative to the table in the past 3 years to try and beat teams. We just let the other teams game-plan to what we're doing. It didn't seem like this was the case with Urban at Florida, but maybe I'm just thinking of one game in particular....
I spent all day yesterday watching the NFL...and I realized something that I was previously ignoring:
Last year's team has guys ALL over the league playing important roles.
Linsley - Starter, Mewhort - Starter, Roby - Starter, Shazier - Starter, Hyde - Impact Player ....I'm sure I'm forgetting others. Point is, we lost A LOT of talent and I definitely did not realize how difficult it is to replace NFL caliber players.
Somewhere Tressel is smiling and saying "why didn't I think of this?"

My domain name is www.backyardbargain.com , i want to decrease website load time and web page load time. because as per google guidelines for better search results we must optimize our site. and day by day some changes we face for good rankings. my website build in visual studio .net framework.
There are a few things that you should do, which will help speed up the loading time.
First is to go through your HTML carefully and get rid of any code that you don't need.
For example, you've got a load of times where you have:
The whole point of a list is that you just have one list, with lots of things in it. That would be better coded as:
You've got loads of inline styles and formatting that shouldn't be there - that should all be in the stylesheet. You've got nested tables, which are well known to slow down page load and rendering.
Your images won't be helping. Use an image editor to resize the images to the size that you want them to display at (start at the highest resolution and quality you have and resize down from there), and for JPGs save them at about 85% quality. Loading images that are larger than they are being displayed means people are downloading more data than they need to, and browsers generally do a pretty crappy job of resizing images themselves.
You've also got a huge number of validation errors. If you're going to use XHTML, you really must know what you're doing. If you don't (and I'm sorry, but it appears that you don't), you should stick to HTML, which is much more forgiving.
If you are placing a link. then you need to un-tick the "Automatically parse links in text" box. If you leave it ticked, then SP mods will think you are here to promote and may ban you. better un-tick by editing.
Ok here is the answers upto my knowledge.
Profile your web pagesProfiling a web page usually involves a tool such as Firebug to determine what components (i.e. images, CSS files, HTML documents, and JavaScript files) are being requested by the user, how long the component takes to load, and how big it is.
Save images in the right format to reduce their file size
Minify your CSS and JavaScript documents
Use server-side compression to reduce file sizesCompressing page objects is similar to zipping up a large file that you send through email: You (web server) zip up a large family picture (the page component) and email it to your friend (the browser) – they in turn unpack your ZIP file to see the picture.
7.Monitor website performanceFor a website it's responsible for getting/sending HTTP requests/responses to the right people and serves all of your web page components. If your web server isn't performing well, you won't get the maximum benefit of your optimization efforts.
If you want any answers then give a question without any link. Why do you want to place your websites link in question and also 3 more in signature too. This is not the place to do few cunning stratergies to advertise or get "no follow" backlink. SP will help you, do a descent search before posting a question. But try not to place links thinking you are getting backlink then the SP mods will ban you. Just a piece of advice.
That way I can go top10 many keywords without external links page. Just good content, good architecture of the site (internal links), and a good domain trusts. Link internal Anchors are very important, because they told us what is important to us (website owners). If you have any internal links to content in combination with other contents of the anchors, this means that users know exactly what is over the link. This is so important on-page optimization
no friend i have not any bad intense for link building. i only put my domain name for getting proper suggestion and i will apply on my domain name.. your valuable suggestion are require for decreasing loading time of my website. i also change my signature.

Bedtime routine and complimentsWho needs a lavender scented body wash when you have something as gentle as Burt's bees Baby Bee shampoo and body wash? It has become such a comforting and calming smell to my baby and I. This or the Baby Bee bar soap and Baby Bee body lotion have been part of our bedtime routing since she was 3 weeks old. Every one comments about how good she always smells. She feels so clean and fresh every night and goes right to sleep after she's swaddled! — 5 years, 5 months agomamaofmoose | 1 reviews

BURT'S BEES BABY SHAMPOO AND WASHI HAVE SEVERAL PRODUCTS IN THE BURT'S BEE LINE. I LOVE THE NATURAL INGREDIENTS AND THE LOVELY SMELL. I USE SEVERAL SHAMPOOS AND WASHES. THIS IS VERY GENTLE AND HAS A CLEAN FRESH SMELL. I ALSO USE IT ON MY SENIOR CAT. HE IS 14-YEAR YOUNG. THE INGREDIENTS ARE SO GENTLE, FOR A BABY. THEY DO NOT IRRITATE HIS EYES OR HIS SKIN. I HAVE USED BURT'S BEES FOR MANY YEARS NOW. — 7 years, 9 months agoGarance_13 | 12 reviews
Not for my baby.The only thing that I remotely liked about this product was the lather. Once you put it on your skin the smell is off-putting. To me, it smells like chlorine. Don't ask me why. I think Burt's Bees has struck out again. The product claims to be tear free but the first (and only) time I used this on my baby (a happy, good-natured four month old baby boy who does't mind bath time), I got a tiny bit ...read morein his eye while washing his face and it left him screaming for twenty minutes. If I had been using Johnson's and got a little in his eye (which I have) I wouldn't have had to worry. When they say gentle they mean it. I 've read some reviewers go on and on about how great this product is because it is a baby product that doesn't have harsh chemicals or pesticides (pesticides?!) in it and I just roll my eyes. My baby's PEDIATRICIAN recommended Johnson's. I think I'll stick with baby products that are DOCTOR reccomended, thanks. — 7 years, 10 months agohankatcar | 146 reviews

Peter Gabriel and Sting Kick Off U.S. Tour With Exuberant, Inspired Collaborations: Concert Review
Peter Gabriel and Sting last toured together in 1986 and 1988 as part of a string of Amnesty International benefit concerts.
Peter Gabriel and Sting last toured together in 1986 and 1988 as part of a string of Amnesty International benefit concerts.
Looks like even Sting couldn't save his sinking 'Ship.'
Sting's decision to temporarily join the cast of his Broadway musical, 'The Last Ship,' appears to helped its fortunes at the box office.
Broadway audiences haven't shown much of an interest in Sting's new musical, but he isn't letting 'The Last Ship' go down without a fight.
For years now, the mere mention of Sting's name has been enough to prompt a joke about tantric sex.
Sting joined 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' last night (Oct. 16) for a funny segment titled 'Stingtones,' in which the former Police frontman put his own unique vocal spin on a series of recognizable ringtones -- only to make a hilarious realization.
Mick Jagger and Sting have joined some 15,000 others who are encouraging Scotland to vote to remain in the UK this September.
The former Police star says his kids can expect next to nothing from his 300 million dollar estate.
When Paul Simon introduced his new tour with Sting as "our experiment melding two bands, two styles, two catalogs of songs," he wasn't kidding.
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' arrival in America, 'The Late Show With David Letterman' is scheduling musicians to perform Beatles songs all week. Last night, Sting stopped by to play 'Drive My Car.' You can watch the video above.
Sting and Paul Simon will begin their co-headlining tour next month, and even though the logistics have been worked out, there's still a major question to be resolved. The stars haven't figured out yet which songs they'll perform together.
He'll probably never record an album of medieval lute music, but we can give Robert Downey, Jr. this much: The man can do a pretty stellar Sting impression.

Last fall, if you had predicted that by the middle of this year, 10 of the biggest banks would have paid back all $68 billion of their bailout money and begun to raise private capital again, that General Motors and Chrysler would have dramatically restructured and that the stock market would be up 35 percent, I probably would have given you 10-to-1 odds that you were wrong.
Now that it's all come to pass, you might think we'd take a moment and offer a pat on the back to the people who helped to engineer this little miracle — folks like Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, Neel Kashkari, Sheila Bair, Barney Frank and so forth. There was nothing preordained about this fortuitous outcome. And, given the extraordinary amount of government intervention, we can't give most of the credit to the free market's natural self-correcting process.
Instead of celebrating this feat of economic policy, however, some seem more in the mood for second-guessing.
A House subcommittee last week worked itself into a self-righteous lather over the strong-arm tactics used by then-Treasury Secretary Paulson and Bernanke to persuade Bank of America to go through with its purchase of Merrill Lynch after the bank discovered, long after it should have, that the firm known for being bullish on America had a balance sheet full of manure.
With the crises now averted, committee members were only too willing to summon a full measure of self-righteousness to denounce what they saw as a market-distorting abuse of governmental authority.
You could see echoes of the same indignation after word leaked last week that Bair, chairwoman of the government's bank insurance fund, was demanding that Citigroup shake up its top executive team. In recent years, the geniuses running Citi have come from its investment bank, its trading desk and the "structured finance" department that churned out all of those collateralized debt obligations and credit-default swaps that drove the company to the brink of insolvency. Bair is now demanding that if her agency is to continue guaranteeing Citi's debt, deposits and a good chunk of its trading portfolio, there ought to be at least a few old-fashioned bankers in the mix who can tell a good risk from a bad one.
For sheer hypocrisy, however, you can't beat Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee. Last November, Corker denounced the Bush administration's proposal for bailing out domestic auto manufacturers, saying it didn't adequately address bloated dealer networks that prevented even the strongest dealerships from making a decent profit.
Fast forward to today, as Chrysler and GM are finally undergoing the radical downsizing and restructuring that Corker had long demanded. And what does Corker have to say about that? He's outraged at the way the discontinued dealers have been treated and wants to ensure that they get at least six months to wind down their operations and receive refunds from the automakers for unsold cars or parts.
Every crisis generates its own set of leaders willing to take risks, twist arms and even bend a few rules to get us through it. Every crisis also generates its own set of political ankle-biters. It's not hard to tell the two apart.

Great Cruise Just One Big Bump: Liberty of the Seas Cruise Review by dawalker05

Great Cruise Just One Big Bump
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
This is my second RC cruise and my 6th cruise total. I have sailed 4 times with Celebrity. My daughters traveled with me on the Summit this past October. I wanted them to experience a ship with the age appropriate amenities. Celebrity is a quieter cruise line without a lot of the extras that Royal offers.
Our rooms were inside in the the very front of the ship. We had rooms 6204 and 6206. This is the first time that I did not have a balcony however we booked late and Royal put us side by side. 6206 is a larger room and I highly recommend. It is also very quiet on that end. Only one night could we hear the club under us.
The bump that occurred was in the dining room. On the very first night at dinner we experienced something very weird. The assistant waited served us our dinner rolls and we discovered that two of them "seemingly" had More blood stains on them. It looked liked someone cut themselves and there was blood on the rolls just the way it was smeared. We showed the waiter and the head waiter. They were very sorry and removed. We should have taken a pic. This is a little different than my food overcooked. They offered us free drinks. That was fine however I did not know what they could do but it was a little empty feeling. The assistant waiter seemed like he was high on a drugs. He rambled on and kept touching us. He talked about kissing us. It was weird he asked us where we were from several times. We were very turned off by the experience. He was so outspoken and in your face that I did not want to complain because I was slightly afraid. On the second night we ate in CHopps which was outstanding and the service was wonderful. The rest of the week we ate in the main dining room. On the third or fourth night the woman at the table next to us was ill on the table. There were maybe 6 woman at that table. They quickly left the dining room. They sort of folded up and covered the problem which I was fine with however while we were still eating a crew that reminds me of a hazmat crew came in to the dining room. With masks they cleaned up the table. I was feeling ill about this time. The waiter came to me and said that he felt that I was upset about the situation. Remember I did not say a word about it they did. I said yes slightly annoyed it seems that they could have covered the table until the dinner service was over. On the last night of the cruise the Assistant Waiter came to us out of the blue to explain the procedure on cleaning up vomit in the dining room. I was so upset because they mentioned it I did not and did not want to continue the conversation. Enough about that!
Overall we found that the Windjammer was very crowded however the food was great. The food in the promenade was excellent. Bar service was excellent. The drinks were very tasty. Dinner quality was poor however we just had so many dinner problems I am not sure if anything would taste good.
The ports were great. We liked both Labadee and Jamaica. We did the beach and the Aqua Park in Labadee and the Dunns River Falls in Jamaica. We enjoyed both.
Getting off the boat was a nightmare. I had read previously that Liberty has problems. We were in group 5 and we were to get off at 8:20am. We finally were let go at 9:30am. From there it was like waiting to ride Space Mountain at Disney on the most crowded day. Lines, lines and more lines. The porters in the port are pushy and rude. Not the best experience however we were ready to go.
We drove from Wilmington, DE and parked at the port. This was great and we had absolutely no problems with parking and will do that again if we drive.
Overall the vacation was a B+. I love the service on Celebrity however my daughters had a great time with the extra amenities. Less

Hello "Katie"
I'm going to apologize now for the terrible photos. Must have been too dark.
I used lots of glitter and felt for the eyes so she could run her fingers over it and feel the kitty "fur".
That's it for today. I have a layout on my desk, but it's just not quite there yet. I think it needs more "stuff".
Have you seen page 116 of the November CK yet? Me neither, but I think I need to go hunt one down. (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
Have a great day.

text: Online university has not increased tuition of $5,780 per year for most programs since September 2008 SALT LAKE CITY — While college students across the country are facing tuition increases averaging 15% this year, tuition at nonprofit Western Governors University (WGU), www.wgu.edu, will not go up. For the fifth straight year, the online university created by a bi-partisan group of U.S. governors to expand access to quality higher education will hold its tuition at $2,890 per six-month term, or $5,780 per year, for most programs. Tuition for all of WGU's online degree programs is charged at a flat rate per six-month term; students may complete as many courses as they are able during their term at no additional cost. WGU is nationally recognized for its innovative, competency-based learning model, which allows student to earn their degrees by demonstrating their mastery of subject matter rather than spending time in class to accumulate credit hours. Competency-based learning makes it possible for students to take advantage of prior education and work experience to move quickly through material they already know so they can focus on what they still need to learn. As a result, many students are able to accelerate, shortening the time to graduation and saving money. "At a time when we need more college graduates than ever before, high costs are forcing students too far into debt or keeping them from attending college at all," said Patrick Partridge, WGU's Chief Marketing Officer. "WGU is committed to keeping college affordable, particularly for working adults who must balance work and family responsibilities." In addition to federal financial aid, WGU sponsors a number of scholarship programs in all degree areas. In the past year, the university has awarded more than $3.5 million in scholarships.

Model Steam Trains and Locomotives
Steam engines were the backbone of railroading until the early 1950s. Little wonder, then, that most vintage model trains were based on real-life steam locomotives, even though very few of these toys actually ran on live steam. Early tinplate toy trains, for example, made largely in Germany by companies like Lehmann, Bing, Issmayer, Carette, Günthermann, and Märklin, ran on clockwork engines.
Around 1900, Märklin in Germany and Carlisle & Finch in the United States introduced the first electric train sets. Before long, German manufacturers like Bing and Karl Bub, as well as American makers like American Flyer, Ives, Lionel, and Marx, were selling electric toy locomotives alongside their clockwork ones.
Manufacturers in Great Britain, the country credited with inventing the railway, produced very few toy trains in the 19th and early 20th centuries, but the "learning" toys made there did run on live steam. Sold by specialist companies such as Newton, Bateman, H.J. Wood, John Theobald, Lucas, and Davis, these steam-power brass toy locomotives were known as "dribblers" or "piddlers" because they left a trail of water and alcohol as they ran across the floor. Heavy and expensive, these engines, branded with names like Stevens Model Dockyard and Clyde Model Dockyard, were offered with a just few pieces of rolling stock made out of mahogany.
Intended for young engineers, the toys were actually rather dangerous. Components of a dribbler included a boiler for the water, a kerosene or alcohol lamp that warmed the water, and a steam chest containing pressurized steam. In 1871, American Eugene Beggs introduced an safer live-steam toy train that dribbled significantly less. Then, in 1888, Weeden Manufacturing Company put out the elegant live-steam Weeden Dart locomotive, which was an instant hit.
European manufacturers quickly followed suit with better dribblers to sell in America, like the high-end O gauge Carette. In 1906 and 1909, Märklin made a live-steam train set, inspired by George and Robert Stephenson's famous 1829 steam engine Rocket, but given the lack of examples on the market today, it seems few were sold or produced.
Around 1905, the Metropolitan Railway in London, now known as London's Underground Metropolitan Line, was incrementally converted from steam-power to electricity. Hornby, the esteemed British toy train manufacturer that first debuted its clockwork locomotive set in 1920, made the brilliant move of patterning its first electric train set after the Metropolitan Line, an actual electric train.
However, steam trains had a devoted following among model-train enthusiasts—be they little boys or adults—and so toy train companies continued to churn models out. As most manufa...
After World War II, competition heated up between Lionel and American Flyer, as the companies vied to see who could come up with the most exciting features. Lionel led the way with two patents, a realistic knuckle coupler and an on-board whistle. But perhaps most thrilling of all was the appearance of real smoke coming out of the smokestack.
For the Lionel electric steam locomotive released in 1946, these puffs of smoke were made of nitrogen oxide, created by burning a pellet of ammonium nitrate. Breathing enough of this smoke could cause eye-watering and coughing, and when swallowed, the pellets caused dizziness, heaves, and diarrhea, but these dangers were considered a small price for realism at the time.
American Flyer's 1946 locomotives, on the other hand, produced a more billowing effect with a "choo-choo" sound, using a petroleum-based cedar-scented liquid that was nontoxic. Quickly, Lionel scientists formulated an even less-toxic smoke pellet and a hot-wire smoking device.
Joshua Lionel Cowen was particularly fond of those smoking steam engines, so it was with great reluctance that he agreed to let Lionel reproduce the brick-like look of the new, modern diesel engines. These came styled as the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, which ran super-fast trains from Chicago to Los Angeles, and the New York Central Railway. To Cowen's surprise, the diesel models were a big hit, particularly with kids on the West Coast who could finally get a toy of a train they were familiar with.
However, when Hornby introduced its English Electric Type 1 Bo-Bo Diesel Electric Locomotive in 1958, train hobbyists were more upset that it was modeled after the controversial diesel engine than the fact its body was made in plastic, not metal.

Post season surgery for Beat Feuz
Beat Feuz has undergone left knee surgery.
The 25 year old Swiss racer finished the World Cup season ranked second overall, second in downhill, second in combined and third in super G in the season-long World Cup rankings.
According to the Swiss Ski Federation the surgery, performed by Prof. HU Staeubli in Bern was successful. A bone break "on the outside" of the left knee is related to a torn ACL from 2007. The bone fragment had become increasingly painful.
"I feel (fine) at the moment, because everything is still numb," Feuz told the federation. "but the doctors said that everything went well. Now I need a few days rest and then I am happy and have to take the offensive in rehab."

Q&A with Buchholz LB Logan Weekes
Published: Monday, August 5, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 4, 2013 at 7:10 p.m.
1. What have you done this summer to prepare for the upcoming season?
"Worked hard in workouts. I've gotten a lot faster and a lot stronger. I got wiser on play decisions. The linebacker coach tells us linebackers not to think, to actually play, because when you overthink things then you mess up."
2. Biggest rivalry game you are looking forward to this season?
"I feel like the biggest rivalry right now is between us and GHS. I feel confident. They have a lot of playmakers, and just like they do, we do too. We're motivated to go into this season a little different than we did last year."
3. What football player did you pretend to be when you were younger?
"When I was a young guy, I felt like I could grow up and be the next Ray Lewis."
4. Where is the best place to eat in Gainesville?
"Buchholz football team, we go to Zaxby's. Every time after practice, we head out to Zaxby's."
5. Do you and your team have a pre-game ritual?
"Before a game, we have a pre-game meal and we just sit quiet and talk amongst ourselves. Like me, I talk to Kurt Oehlbeck last year the (linebacker) who played next to me and just strategize."

"Now my dear, you know the full effects of this spell can never be reversed." Said doc facilier unsurely, looking at the young woman before him. She tilted her head in a determined look.
"I know."
But the doctor still looked uncomfortable as though he weren't telling her all the details. "You're absolutely positive?"
she sighed impatiently "yes, yes! Now please just hurry!" the shadow man smiled evilly as he turned the pages in his spell book and began to chant:
« Mais pas dans votre formulaire original
revenir en forme de abnorm quelque chose! L'esprit des terres ci-dessus
revenir à celui qui aime
vous que je le commande maintenant dans les conflits
retourner à votre inexistante vie ! «
As he chanted, he began to rise and a blinding flash of the purist white light bursted through the room. All was quiet for a long time before the girl could speak. Shock, it seemed, had affected her speech for a moment.
Then she saw the body laying on the table, still ,cold, unmoving. Suddenly the form changed from that of her beloved german shepard to a man about her age. She stared in horror at Facilier
« this is not what i asked for ! » she almost screamed at him.
He smiled sweetly « it's not ? my dear i do hate to be a bearer of bad news, but this is exactly what you asked for. » he said pulling out the contract she'd signed hurridly, barely reading it.
She gaped at him almost in tears. This isn't what she'd asked .not at all. NOT AT ALL ! she'd asked for her dog back, her beloved Charlie hadn't she ? and she got some random dead guy ? no, she wouldn't take this. She didn't have to. She ran out the door, but not before she heard the call out to her, probably wanting money or something.
she whirled around and was going to tell him she didn't intend to pay, but before she could he called out « excuse me miss, but are you going to be taking your dog home ? »
So there you guys are. Had this idea for a while now and decided that Anne Marie and Charlie needed to be reunited, but not in the way she'd expected. I also added doc facilier for fun

Would You Use Maghound?
If you're anything like me, you have way too many magazine subscriptions to read all the articles you want to read each month — much less keep track of when they're due to be renewed. That's where Maghound is trying to step in. Coming in September, the service will let you subscribe to magazines published by Time Inc. (InStyle, Real Simple, etc.) for a monthly price — three for $4.95, seven for $9.95, and so on. You can switch up your chosen magazines at any time.
Maghound's organizers consider it to be sort of like cable TV (if you got to choose exactly the channels you wanted) or Netflix (if you didn't have to return the movies). I think the idea has a lot of promise, but I wish I could do it for all my magazines, not just the Time Inc. ones. What do you think? Would you use this service?

Wader Advice Needed!

Wader Advice Needed!
Hey all, with my old waders recently biting the dust, I was hoping to buy a new pair for around $100 (everyone starts laughing). I live in HOT Arizona, so want a pair that are breathable and fairly lightweight. I also need to stay in budget becasue I really dont have much to spend. I know, I know. "You get what you pay for..." "Inexpsensive and good quality are mutually exclusive when it comes to waders." etc.... Still, I see a couple of interesting prospects and I am a bargain hunter.
My question is, does anyoe know of such waders that would stay in budget and "fit the bill"? I am not opposed to buying used from someone reputable that won't sell me worthless leaky waders, if anyone has a good pair to sell me.
The point though, is really this. What is the best pair of waders for fishing envoronments that range from hot to cool? I can always add more insulation underneath, so I don't want neoprenes or insulated waders. I don't wade THAT much, so they dont have to last a lifetime.
Has anyone tried Caddis Deluxe Breathable waders? For around $100, they look god with attatched gravel guards and some interesting technology. Do they really work? How good is the quality?
I know I am asking a lot for $100: Breathable, farily lightweight, fairly durable. Still, there must be some wader out there that fits the bill.
Again, opinions and advice are welcome. I would apprecaite a pm if anybody has waders in GOOD CONDITION (no leaks) that they are willing to sell me or if anybody knows where such a pair can be found. I am 5'11" and weigh 160 lbs, so medium to medium long would be best, but depending on the brand large might also work.
Let me know and thanks in advance.

College Students are the reservoir from which our nation draws its leadership strength.
Each year, a select group of students is called forward to accept one of the most prestigious awards the academic community can bestow — selection to Who's Who Among Students. This exclusive honor is conferred by more than 1,000 schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and is symbolized by the presentation of an award certificate.
Through our years of serving higher education, Who's Who Among Students has become one of the most highly regarded and long-standing honors programs in the nation, having earned the overwhelming respect of college faculties and administrations. And for the students – the outstanding campus leaders of the year – national recognition by the Who's Who program marks a pinnacle of scholastic achievement.
Selections to Who's Who Among Students are made each fall by individual schools. Campus nominating committees, created to nominate the upper-classmen and graduate students eligible for the program, are composed of representatives from the faculty, administration and student body.
This procedure of nomination succeeds in highlighting the individual and diverse service to community and school. These are the students who enhance the positive image of the American students through their contributions to community and school. Because curricular and extracurricular programs at schools vary greatly, each college is assigned a quota of nominees. This quota is carefully calculated to ensure a well-rounded representation of the student body. All nominations must be endorsed by a college's faculty or administration.
It should always be remembered that college students are the reservoir from which our nation draws its leadership strength. This feeling about American students is the guiding principle behind the Who's Who Among Students program and our efforts to proudly continue to aid campuses in honoring students who demonstrate consistent excellence.
Who's Who Among Students honors students from both two-year and four-year universities and colleges as well as graduate and Ph.D programs. Our program is not affiliated with any organization honoring High School, Middle or Elementary school students, Teachers, Deans List or Marquis Co.
Henry Pettus Randall, Jr. founded Who's Who Among Students in American Universities & Colleges® in 1934. As an outstanding student at the University of Alabama, Mr. Randall received several offers to join honors societies but could not afford the costly membership fees.
His personal financial struggle inspired him to create an honors program based on achievement rather than financial ability.
Over the last 80 years, Who's Who Among Students in American Universities & Colleges® has grown from one man's vision into the premier honors program for over 1,000 universities and colleges across the country. We remain dedicated to the legacy that excellence in the face of adversity must be celebrated without a price tag. We welcome you to this prestigious community of scholars and wish you all the best in future pursuits.
