I was an hour and 45 minutes into my 12 hour shift. I got very sick very fast. Like... we're talking throwing up multiple times, clammy hands, exhaustion, diarrhea, becoming freezing cold, fever, and sweating so much that it soaked through my clothes and dripped onto the floor.
I feel badly because now someone has to be called in to cover me and also because now I will burn some PTO for the hours I missed.
I don't like to skip work - even felt guilty taking PTO for vacation a few weeks ago.
There's no denying that I was sick and company policy states that if you throw up you get sent home. But still... I'm feeling guilty.
I know it's not my fault, but I feel like I'm letting them down.
Am I being silly?

..because this does ends to be kind of true. And trust me it does BREAKS my heart. Let's all pray for her…
Here we are, wondering if Jessica Simpson and her new beau, ex San Francisco 49ers tight end Eric Johnson, will be married and have babys–what all of America knows is pretty much Simpson's dream at the moment–and it turns out Johnson is still legally married.
The pair began dating five weeks ago, when they met at a party Simpson was hosting in Beverly Hills. Johnson is Simpson's second NFL boyfriend, after Tony Romo, who very publicly ended the relationship last July. But, it looks like Johnson is still legally tied to his wife of five years, Keri. He filed for divorce in January, but the ties have not been officially cut, which leaves us wondering: Should Simpson really be dabbling with this guy?
From the looks of it, she's already getting serious about him, going on a crash vegan diet to supposedly fit with his New Age-style life, meeting his parents, and traveling together.
If Simpson is really looking for a husband and the father of her children, should she be taking risks getting so serious so fast with someone who is still technically married? And even if he wasn't, perhaps she should slow things down to really find the right man and start a family.
What do you think?

hello everyone,
I've been around for nine years or so and this community is important to me. I've grown here and have made quite a bit of contibutions of my work here. Newgrounds is a fantastic community and I'm going to try to dedicate a little more time to other artists here on newgrounds. I primarly post in the music portal and thats where I want to put most of my focus. I'm going to be listining to many of your works and trying to review as many as I can, because I think it's unfortunate that many artists go unnoticted simply because of the rating system. If you have visitied the audio portal in recent time you can clearly see a difference in skill but everyone is at the top of the list due to few votes or an influx of submissions pushing the top list 5 or 6 pages back. If you would like me to check out your tracks send me a link and i'll be sure to make my way over.
Thank you newgrounds for being around for so long.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group. It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace.
Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.
I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular. My toddler granddaughter even liked it. Must have been the hot sauce.
I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis.
Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Cabbage Casserole
I have been trying with a minimum of success to share with you the recipes I made for the jewish holidays. I look at my photos and unfortunately, in some cases, I have no idea what they are. Kugels and casseroles have similar looks. I am guessing, this is a cabbage casserole but I am not sure.
What I am sure of is that it was delicious and went quickly. I am finding more and more ways to make cabbage. It is a versatile vegetable and mixes with many other ingredients. Forget only using it for cole slaw. It is a multi-"talented" veggie.
Cabbage Casserole (adapted)
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 bag shredded cabbage (green or white)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup panko crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray with cooking oil a one quart casserole dish.
Melt butter in large saucepan.
Add cabbage and onion; cook over medium heat until softened, about 20 minutes.
Stir in milk; bring to boiling.
Lower heat to medium-low; simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Gently stir in eggs.
Add 1/2 cup Panko crumbs, salt and pepper.
Pour into prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle with remaining panko crumbs.
Bake in 325 degrees F oven for 30 minutes or until heated through and top is golden brown.
Eat and enjoy.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts (Broccoli) with Parmesan and Vincotto
This week, Gaye chose Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Parmesan and Vincotto from the Donna Hay magazine, Jun/Jul 2015 on page 88.
I have a few stores where I do my food shopping and it all depends on where I am at shopping time which one I go to. This week, I ended up in the smaller kosher store in the neighborhood and of course, they did not have brussels sprouts. Granted, this is not my favorite store and I usually walk out unhappy, I still like to support the ownership who are nice people who don't seem to be making a success of their venture.
I had no time to travel to the bigger stores with the better produce so I put on my thinking cap and came up with a substitute which is a bit far fetched, broccoli. I can't vouch for the brussels sprouts but I will say, the broccoli was delicious with a taste of lemon, garlic, red chili, Parmesan and black pepper. Pulled together with olive oil, it made a delicious side.
Check out what others cooked at our site, Wednesdays with Donna Hay.
Honey Dijon Baked Salmon
I make salmon, so often, it is easy to confuse my recipes. We love salmon so I admit, it is hard for us to consider almost any salmon recipe, a failure. Some are not particularly good looking but tasty, they are. This one, my guests also loved, so it is probably a winning recipe.
It originated from Baked Dijon Salmon from allrecipes.com. I have been, recently, making lots of salmon with soy or Teriyaki sauce and as much as I love that, I wanted a real change. Honey and Mustard was the way to go. To me, a touch of sweetness is important for salmon. You can use brown sugar or agave, instead of the honey, if that is your choice. The idea is to have some sweetness.
This was a successful recipe but as I said, it is difficult to go wrong with salmon in our house. I plan to make this several times over.
Honey Dijon Baked Salmon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
2(4 ounce) fillets salmon
pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, mustard, and honey. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together flax seed meal, pecans, and parsley.
Brush each salmon fillet lightly with honey mustard mixture, and sprinkle the tops of the fillets with the bread crumb mixture.
Bake salmon 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Season with pepper.

Mini Pumpkin Jar Cakes
Peggy selected a unique recipe, Mini Pumpkin Jar Cakes found on page 291 in Weeknight Wonders. This was easy or quick to make, and I used pumpkin pie spice in place of the various individual spices which made it even easier.
I ate it hot out of the microwave and it was yummy. Check what the other members made at Eating with Ellie.

Chocolate, Banana and Coconut Muffins --- Donna Hay
This is a dessert week for the WwDH bakers. We made Chocolate, Banana, and Coconut Muffins. I skipped the coconut because my grandchildren were visiting and they don't like coconut. Instead, chocolate chips made a major difference to them.
These were easy to make and my little granddaughter loves them. She took one bite and gave a sigh of satisfaction. The older grandkids enjoyed them as well.

Something Sweet
I am coming back to blogging slowly but surely. It is hard not to have this as a daily discipline and then expect to jump in full force. I couldn't do it. I think, once I get a few days posted in a row, I will pick up the volume and hopefully fill you in on some wonderful dishes, I made over the holidays.
Something Sweet is the name of a recently published book by Miriam Pascal who has a blog, the Overtime Cook. I decided to use it for most of my holiday baking and it truly fit my needs. Miriam thinks like I do and prefers using oil to a less healthy margarine in many of her baked goods. The mousse, I made from the book, had no raw eggs, something I am diligent about not using.
The best part of the book for me was the recipes, Miriam chose to use. I wanted to make almost all of them and I have made a good start already. Some recipes, I baked were Peanut Butter and Banana Chocolate Chip Cake - a huge success with our guests, Snickerdoodle Bundt Cake, Fudgy Brownies, Pumpkin Crumb Cake, Pomegranate Cupcakes, Chocolate Chip Peanut Pie, Hot Gooey Caramel Pie, Egg Free Chocolate Mousse plus I made the Caramel Sauce and the Chocolate sauce, all which were top notch.
Do these make your mouth water? I was not disappointed with any of the recipes and I am planning to be baking more for this Shabbos. The dilemma, I have is which ones to choose.
I will be sharing a few of the recipes on this blog but this is a book, I think many of you would enjoy having in your homes. It is not fair to the author to reprint many recipes and as soon as I find out how many I am allowed to, I will share them with you.
My photos do not do justice to the recipes but here are a few baked delights we enjoyed.

Egg Noodles with Onions, Caraway, and Parsley
This week, I selected this recipe for EwE but I unfortunately did not post it in time for our weekly Thursday cooking. Better late than never definitely is proven because this turned out to be a fantastic side dish. The noodle with caramelized onions, garlic, parsley and caraway seeds blended together for the right flavor and the right crunch.
I recommend this recipe, Egg Noodles with Onions, Caraway, and Parsley from Weeknights Wonders by Ellie Krieger. Check out our Eating with Ellie page to see what others have done with this recipe.

Simple Vanilla Cake (with Caramel Chips)
I am recovering from the Jewish holidays and I am not really back blogging but I did bake this cake from Donna Hay for my company. I took some chocolate nutty candy and put it in the food processor and dropped it in globs on top of the cake. I also added some caramel chips to the batter. I figured this would appeal more to the children than a plain cake.
The "Wednesdays with Donna Hay" group baked this, this week and I am taking bets, they found it as easy as I did to make. Peggy selected this and it is from Off the Shelf. Thanks Peg.

Zucchini Pastrami Kugel
I was right when I said, I would not be able to post for a while. I have cooked literally dozens of new dishes but had no time to blog. I thought, I would get at least one here to prove I didn't forget you.
The holiday, we are celebrating is Succos and it is a time we eat and some sleep in the sukkah, a temporary structure covered with wood slats or branches or bamboo. People decorate them with pictures and projects, the children make in school.
If you are interested in learning more about the holiday and its meaning, I found should fill you in.
Here is the inside of one which I found online.
Some are fortunate and have a yard where they can build their sukkah which is relatively close to the kitchen. Some live in apartment houses and have a shared sukkah outside meaning, all the food is taken from the floor they live on down several flights of stairs. Since we do not use elevators on the holiday itself, it means carrying the food through the halls and on the staircases.
We have to walk through my house since we built ours on a porch located on the other side of the house from the kitchen. We line up like a brigade, each carrying another dish. Truthfully, it is fun and eating outside, singing and sharing is more fun. You can hear the singing from sukkahs up and down the block. It is the spirit of community.
I did not even get pictures of a lot of my food and the ones I took were done hurriedly, The zucchini pastrami kugel photo was taken after the first days of the holiday and I used leftovers for the picture.
Zucchini Pastrami Kugel
2 zucchini, sliced about a half inch wide
2 eggs
1/4 cup matzo meal
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoons packaged dry onion soup mix
1/4 - 1/2 pound pastrami, chopped
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease an 8 inch square baking pan.
In medium saucepan boil zucchini for ten minutes until it softens.
Using potato masher, mash.
Add remaining ingredients and continue to mash until all is mixed well.n
Spoon into baking dish.
Add in pastrami and mix into zucchini mix and bake for 40 minutes.
Eat and enjoy.

Carrot-Apple Kugel
When I prepare for the holidays, I marathon cook. So far today, I have made two broccoli kugels, 2 cauliflower-leek kugels, a ton of kneidlach (matzah balls) and this carrot apple kugel. I didn't start till almost 2 o'clock.
We just finished the first two days of the holiday Rosh Ha Shana, head of the year, and while we eat well, that is not the priority. The meals were good but my focus is on Succos which comes around in two weeks. There are six major meals a week plus a seventh smaller one (not counting regular meals on the non-holidays. Each meal has challah, a fish course with salad, soup, meat or poultry with a few side dishes and desserts. By the last meal, I am full before we start.
Along side of the heavier dishes which I make ahead of time, I like to serve fresh vegetables to lighten the meals. I also make the potato and apple dishes a day or two before the holiday since I don't find they freeze well. So far I have two huge soups in the freezer and I want to make two more. I just cook and cook with little thought to the menus. I know, if I make some veggies, some protein and some grains, it will work out to be a rather balanced meal. Salads are usually made fresh except for possibly a potato salad.
I have not thought much about desserts yet but I do have a few recipes, I have been saving to make.
I love fussing in the kitchen so this is not a chore for me. There is contentment in the chopping and peeling.
Carrot-Apple Kugel
10 grated carrots (I used my food processor)
2-3 apples, grated in food processor with carrots
1 /3 cup oil
1/2 cup honey
4 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon rind
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups gluten free or AP flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray.
Add to the carrots, apples, eggs. oil, honey and lemon rind.
Add flour to the carrot mixture.
Pour batter into pan into 9 inch round baking pan and bake for 45 minutes or longer if still wet in the middle.
Eat and enjoy,

Posting Sporadically
The Jewish holidays are upon us and they go on for a month. There is much spiritual, emotional and physical preparation. I don't want to commit to the blog and then not come through.
I have new wonderful recipes that I have been making and I am excited about sharing them with you. Whenever, I find free time between teaching, celebrating the holy days, being a wife, mom and grandmom, I will post.
Wishing those who are Jewish a sweet new year. May you be blessed with all that you need. To everyone, enjoy and happy cooking.

Eggplant, Ricotta, Parmesan Bake - Donna Hay
For me, this is one of the best recipes, we have had, so far. The Eggplant, Ricotta and Parmesan Bake was chosen by Margaret for our Wednesday with Donna Hay group. I knew originally when I saw the ingredients, I would love this. It is my kind of dish. Even if you are not a fan of eggplant, it is well disguised and I think most people who like a cheesy kind of dish, would enjoy it.
The ingredients include eggplant, ricotta, parmesan, eggs, cream and basil. They seem to be made for each other. I finished this by myself over several days. You can find the recipe here. You can see what others have done with this recipe here.

Corn Salad with Pastrami
I have not added many new recipes in the last week because school started and I found it hard not to think about my class and what will make it an effective year for them. I believe strongly in a class personality and that factor determines how I handle the class both in learning and discipline.
I am teaching two classes, this year, and when I walked into each one, I felt good. The boys were normal with no one glaring as a discipline problem. I know that in one class there is a child who has been difficult over the years. I made it a point to connect with him immediately. He behaved and participated. One day of success. Now for the days to come.
Last year, the class was supposed to be a dream class and from the moment I walked in, I felt a tension, I never felt before in that room. It remained for at least half the year and never dissipated completely. It took me months to understand that this class felt entitled. They were a smart group and had been told this for years and finally it caught up with them (it not before).
Never having a class that I didn't love from day 1, this was very confusing for me. As the year went on, I become attached to the individual students but I never felt the attachment, I usually feel. I believed I had failed.
This year, walking in and seeing enthusiasm, I was refreshed and motivated once again. I hope the year will prove my instincts and observations correct.
Last month when I started adding pastrami to a variety of dishes and receiving abundant compliments, I decided to fool around with adding the meat to other types of food. This week, I was making a corn salad and the pastrami fit right in. It gives it a lot more flavor and varies the texture.
2 cups of corn kernels
4 ounces sliced pastrami, cut into one-inch pieces
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in quarters
1/2 a red pepper, diced
½ red onion, chopped fine
½ cup mayonnaise
11/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sugar
Place corn, pastrami, tomatoes, red pepper and red onion into a bowl.
Combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
Pour dressing over salad and toss to coat evenly.
Eat and enjoy.

Broccoli Soup with Pasta - Hazan
This week, I made Broccoli Soup with Beans and Pasta. This is the easiest recipe, the perfect one to make when you come home from work, with little impetus to fuss, in the kitchen. It has few ingredients and is from the book, "Thirty Minute Pasta" by Giuliano Hazan. This is my contribution to our group of cooking ladies who weekly attempt to make a recipe from this book. The recipes are generally easy, yet delicious.

Rush Hour Chili - Ellie Krieger
This dish is in prep for the cold weather that will surely come our way in the near future although that is hard to believe, at the moment, with the sun shining down upon us with such a strong force.
This is the perfect dish to come home to, after work, when I am tired and want to warm up. It can be made ahead of time and it can be served with noodles, rice, quinoa or vegetables.
Rush Hour Chili was selected by Gaye and is found on page 101 in Weeknight Wonders by Ellie Krieger. This book gets closer to my heart and tummy with each recipe I make. This is another easy to make meal that fills you mouth with flavor. I would gladly make this again. Thanks Gaye.
Check out what our other members did this week with chili at Eating with Ellie. (EwE)

Spaghetti with a Savory Onion Sauce
Each week, I skim through the pages and each week, there is a recipe that I stop for, this Spaghetti with a Savory Onion Sauce. Then I continue, to check the ingredients and keep on turning pages. The reason is that this calls for anchovies and I don't want to use anchovies and it seems to me that would be a major ingredient with all the flavor it brings to a dish. In trying to be true to this recipe and others that call for anchovies, I have lost the opportunity to enjoy them,
I looked online for a similar recipe by Hazan and I found it here. This makes a larger quantity and does NOT have anchovies. Otherwise with minor exceptions, the recipes are almost the same. Since the ingredients are the same, I decided to make the one from the book without the anchovies.
There are differences in the steps to the final dish, the reason most likely being the thirty- minute guideline. The one on Food.com has the onions sauteing for almost 45 minutes; the book called for 15. The fat to fry the onions in on Food.com was a combination of butter and olive oil and the book called for olive oil. Both used parsley, white wine, Parmesan, black peper and salt.
The end result was a solid dish I was proud to put on the table. I love the caramelized onion in the mix and it was a refreshing change from a tomato sauce.
I can't wait to see what Kayte, Margaret, Peggy, Glennis have made this week.

Mulled Cider Sweet Potatoes
Before I fill you in on this recipe, I must share these were supposed to be mashed. I wasn't in the mood for sweet mashed potatoes and I knew the flavor would be the same, so I left the potatoes in chunks.
These mulled cider sweet potatoes were selected by Peggy and they are too easy to make and delicious. I guess the hardest part was peeling the potatoes. Added to the potatoes were butter (it was optional and I opted out.) maple syrup and spices.
You can probably imagine the taste. Of course, I think you almost can't go wrong with any sweet potato recipe.

Pumpkin,(Squash) Caramelized Onion, and Feta Gratin
In the Jun/Jul 2015 Donna Hay Magazine on page 32, you will find a recipe for Pumpkin, Caramelized Onion, and Feta Gratin. This week, Gaye selected this intriguing recipe for our group, WwDH to make. When I first saw it, I was quite happy about the choice and already knew, I would use butternut squash.
My problem was, in this case, I felt I needed a photo and since I did not have the magazine, I only had a copy of the printed word. The recipe called for chopped squash or pumpkin, but I had no idea what the size was. Was it more diced like chop or a bigger one? I guessed and easily lived with the decision. I can't wait to check out everyone else and see how they interpreted this if they also did not have the magazine.
Also caramelized onion relish was called for (store bought) and I have never seen that in any of the stores. I simply caramelized the onions and ended up burning some, in the process.
The recipe called for flaked almonds, another product, I have no knowledge of. I used sliver almonds guessing this was the same item. I also don't know what pouring cream is and used some heavy cream.
There was also feta cheese and this is the first time, I noted feta melting. That may be because I usually use feta in cold salads.
I think, I stayed true to the recipe despite my confusion over some of the ingredients. The final dish was good, but I would have liked it better with a teaspoon of honey in it. It missed the sweet element.
Please do take a look at our page and see what the others have done with this recipe. Feel free to cook with us at any time. Just add your link to the page.

Mashed Potato Love
Memories of childhood have lots to do with mashed potatoes. If I did not feel well, I got mashed potatoes and I felt better or so I told myself. I don't have strong memories of food and my childhood but oh how I remember potatoes. I still like almost any kind of potato but it is the mashed that bring back the memories.
I guess, I sat on the sofa and ate them, when unwell. I can picture cuddling on one end of the sofa with a bowl in my hand, filled with those wonderful potatoes.
So, here I am remembering and making mashed potatoes. These are light and tender.
I guess, I sat on the sofa and ate them, when unwell. I can picture cuddling on one end of the sofa with a bowl in my hand, filled with those wonderful potatoes.
So, here I am remembering and making mashed potatoes. These are light and tender.
Memories are funny. Some are vivid, some are dim and others are gone which means they are not memories. My hubby and I have different times that we remember clearly. I assume this is related to the importance of the incidents to each of us.
2 1/2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon chopped onion
8 ounces reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
2 tablespoons Panko or Cornflake crumbs
Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain.
Mash potatoes with butter and onion until small lumps of potato remain; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat ricotta cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, rosemary and pepper until smooth.
Fold egg into cheese mixture.
Fold into potato mixture.
Generously coat muffin cups with nonstick spray; evenly sprinkle muffin cups with crumbs. Fill with potato mixture; smooth tops.
Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees F for 27-30 minutes or until edges of potatoes are lightly browned.
Cool for 15 minutes.
Eat and enjoy.

Tagliatelle with Peas -- Thirty Minute Pasta
Melting Goat Cheese
I have found that I like to add vegetables or different cheeses to Hazan's recipes. I find his dishes simplistic but they have the flavor and texture. I just, at times, want a little more, maybe a tomato, zucchini, Ricotta or Feta. As I go through the book, I take advantage of his flexible recipes and make them more intact with my family.You can see the original recipe here.
Tagliatelle with Peas adapted from Giuliano Hazan's Thirty Minute Pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 orange pepper, sliced
2 tablespoons Parmesan
2 ounces goat cheese, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces left over small pastas (using up pasta in house)
In a skillet, add peas and bell pepper to the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Stir the peas and bell pepper well, then add about 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium heat until the peas are tender, adding water if it evaporates completely before they are done. It should take 15 to 20 minutes for the peas to become tender.
When the peas are tender, remove from the heat, take out about half the peas and puree them. I use my mini food processor.
Put the pureed peas back in the pan with the whole peas.
Add about 2 tablespoons salt to the boiling pasta water, add the
After the pasta has cooked for about 2 minutes, add 3/4 cup of the pasta water to the pan with the peas and stir well.When the pasta is done, drain well, toss with the sauce, and serve at once.
I topped this with Parmesan and sliced some goat cheese and microwaved for 90 seconds to melt the goat cheese.
Eat and Enjoy.

Two Minute Mango Coconut Sorbet
I am proud of myself. I selected this week's recipe for Eating with Ellie (EwE). I loved this and it could not be easier. Two minutes is really two minutes. It is called Two-Minute Mango Coconut Sorbet.
The recipe has four simple ingredients, frozen mango (I am sure fresh mango can be used), honey, basil and coconut milk. Into the blender and zap, you have a frosty refreshing scrumptious dessert, breakfast, snack or whatever you want whenever you want it. I could sit down to these, particularly in the hot weather at any time.
I made mine while the mango was still partially frozen so it came out icy cold but it can be frozen or it can be put in the refrigerator. In my opinion, icy is better.
I liked this more than I have liked any dessert in a long time and that includes chocolate. I am sure, you could make this with any fruit if you are not a mango fan. Peaches to blueberries should work.
Only a little honey is used and I would guess this changes with the fruit of choice. This had just the right sweetness, not cloying but subtle and present.
To see what others thought of this and how their' s turned out, check our page. I love Ellie. We are using her book, Weeknight Wonders and most of these dishes are just that.

Peanut Butter Brownie Squares
The proof that this was a yummy dessert is that it disappeared quickly. Do people like peanut butter as much as chocolate?
Peanut butter is an interesting spread. I put some on a cracker for my granddaughter who pushed it away. Then, I gave her a spoonful of peanut butter which she loved and wanted more. I happen to agree with her. There is nothing like a spoonful of peanut butter, rich and creamy and delicious.
I grew up on cream cheese and jelly sandwiches but I have a feeling others went the peanut butter and jelly route. Did I miss out?
Childhood memories of strange and delicious foods. I used to take a sandwich maker which was a metal mold on the end of a long pole that you put in a sandwich and hold over the fire. I used to put apple sauce between two pieces of white bread and "cook" it and it was out of this world. Who would have thought....?

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Rick Ross sold hit albums rapping about selling crack cocaine but a revelation that he once worked as a prison guard threatened to end his career.
For a rapper cultivating a bad-boy image, a uniform put him on the wrong side of the law.
U.S. rappers often sell songs about drugs and guns based on "real-life" stories, but increasingly some of those stories are being exposed as embellishments aimed at helping them build successful careers, experts say.
"Some of the stories are fabricated and some of it is reality, and what they are doing is mixing the two," music executive Devyne Stephens said. "When you say you shot and killed somebody and you put it on a CD, nine times out of 10, you really didn't shoot and kill anybody."
Ross is a bearded, burly Miami rapper who brags of a cash-fueled, drug-boss life. His real name is William Leonard Roberts II but he takes his stage name from a drug trafficker.
So he was publicly humiliated when pictures surfaced of him last year through The Smoking Gun website looking clean-cut in a correctional officer's uniform.
Ross at first denied his past, then admitted it but maintained his drug-dealing tales of the street were true.
His third album, released in April and featuring titles such as "Rich off Cocaine," still sold well.
Stephens, who has been hailed as an image branding king and has worked with artists including Mary J. Blige, Usher, Sean "Diddy" Combs and Nelly, said many rappers mix lines in their songs that aren't literally true but draw from real experiences or stories they have heard.
He says "probably 85 per cent" of rappers embellish stories in songs and calls the current trend "reality music" which, like reality television, is something of a misnomer.
Stephens helped groom another successful U.S. rapper, Akon, who has had hits like "Locked Up" and "Ghetto." Akon was ridiculed last year and accused of dramatically enhancing claims of belonging to a car theft ring and having served prison time.
The new crop of rappers want to emulate the success of rappers-turned-moguls like former New York drug dealers Jay-Z and 50 Cent, who both sold albums based on their transformations from street hustling to popping champagne.
"You formulate that story to make it just as interesting as the Jay-Z story," Stephens said, describing an outline of: "I am a hustler, I came from nothing and turned it into something and now I am on yachts in St. Tropez."
Jay-Z, married to superstar Beyonce Knowles, is now one of the world's wealthiest musicians, having signed a deal reportedly worth $150 million with concert promoter Live Nation.
50 Cent, whose album and film "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" was based on his past as a crack dealer who was shot nine times, now runs a multimedia empire. He banked about $100 million after taxes when his stake in Glaceau, creator of Vitaminwater, was sold to Coca-Cola, Forbes reported.
Both depart from that image at times. Jay-Z has promoted bicycles with New York's Mayor Michael Bloomberg and 50 Cent recently stood alongside entertainer Bette Midler to promote parks and gardens.
"Image would be people's perspective," 50 Cent told Reuters when asked what his old fans would think. "It might not coincide with what I am doing, but this is who I am."
Much of the underworld image is obviously real with many rappers arrested for drugs and gun possession, including one of the current top rappers, Lil Wayne, who faces narcotics and weapons possession charges. Others, like former teenage drug dealer T.I., reshaped their image when facing prison time.
Atlanta-based T.I. just began serving a one-year sentence for illegally possessing machine guns, but reduced his sentence by warning young people about the dangers of drugs and gangs.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper chronicled his community service on the show "T.I.'s Road to Redemption" on MTV. He appeared at an anti-gun rally in New York in May with another rapper, Ja Rule, who currently faces gun possession charges.
"It was savvy ... the best thing for his career at that time," Sean Fennessey of hip-hop magazine Vibe said of T.I.
Fans seem to care less if a rapper's lyrics are exaggerated as long as the music is good, said Elliott Wilson, founder of RapRadar.com.
Ross's last album "Deeper Than Rap," was critically acclaimed and sold 150,000 copies in its first week. Akon's last album, "Freedom," sold hundreds of thousands of copies.
"I never saw anything like Rick Ross where someone took so many career damaging attacks and it still did not stop his success," Wilson said.
Rappers may still criticize each others' credibility in songs, but fans know hip hop music has always been part aspiration and part reality, Wilson said.
"The goal is to succeed with the odds against you," Wilson said. "It's storytelling, it's art, so there tends to be exaggerations in it."

If ever there was a time for Kenny Florian to fight for, and possibly win, the UFC lightweight title, it's now.
Florian has improved every discipline he relies on in the cage: jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, wrestling and boxing. He moves more fluidly, his strikes are sharper and his elusive skills make it nearly impossible to hit him with a flush shot.
With these skills, Florian can compete with anyone -- including 155-pound champion BJ Penn. He offered a sample of his improved skills on Saturday at UFC 91 in Las Vegas.
Florian took on fellow contender Joe Stevenson in a lightweight title eliminator. He used high-caliber footwork and a stinging jab to frustrate Stevenson early on.
With just over a minute remaining in the first round, Florian applied a rear-naked choke. Defenseless, Stevenson tapped and referee Herb Dean stopped the fight at the 4:01 mark.
Afterward, Florian could hardly control his excitement. Not only did he accomplish his goal -- winning impressively -- but he did it in front of Penn.
"It's one of the most satisfying wins of my career," said Florian, who improved to 12-3. "Joe Stevenson is no joke. He is one of the best in the world, and I wanted to make a statement. I wanted to show everybody the level I was at, and I think I was able to do that.
"I wanted to show, first and foremost, that I am truly a mixed martial artist, that I can do it all. And if I get a guy on the ground, I can submit even the most dangerous opponent.
"I beat Joe at the absolute best part of his game. Hopefully, BJ saw that I can be a threat to his belt, and that I am the No. 1 contender out there."
Penn saw every second of Florian's victory over Stevenson. And when the victor let it be known that he intends to become the next UFC 155-pound titleholder, the champ offered a wry smile.
There is no mistaking Florian's vast improvement as a fighter, but Penn points out that he too has fine-tuned his game. Penn's decision to rededicate himself, however, did not come easy.
It is unlikely any fighter on the planet can claim to have better overall skills than Penn. His jiu-jitsu is off-the-chart good, and he can outbox anyone in the cage.
Despite his exceptional talents, Penn (14-4-1) has proven to be vulnerable. The knock on him is he tends to lose focus.
Lack of conditioning or concentration have been blamed for each of his losses. But while Penn can't guarantee he will never suffer another loss, he promises it won't be due to lack of preparedness. He first made this promise to himself two years ago.
"Right after Matt Hughes finished me, the first time in my career, still I didn't care much," said Penn, who will move up to face UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre in January. "It was the fact that I turned 28 years old. I was like, 'I'm 28 years old. What am I doing? Why am I wasting my time?'
"I have improved my focus and dedication. Everything else comes along with that. I have been improving my skills and my conditioning. I want to leave a mark in this sport. I am going to be 30 years old next month."
Penn said he isn't thinking about Florian right now. His attention is solely on the rematch with St. Pierre -- they met in March 2006. Penn lost by split decision.
If Penn beats St. Pierre, he will hold the welterweight and lightweight titles simultaneously. According to UFC president Dana White, Penn will defend both.
"Should BJ defeat George St. Pierre, he will defend two titles at the same time," White said recently. "No one has ever done that."
Florian isn't optimistic that Penn will defend both titles. He is taking a wait-and-see approach for now.
"If BJ fights Georges St. Pierre and wins, my feeling is he will not want to come back down to 155," Florian said. "If he loses, I feel he will come back down to 155 and we will get it on in April or May. If he wins, I think there is less of a chance I will be fighting him for the title during that time frame."
Though Florian prefers to face Penn, he would not be disappointed if offered a rematch with the last man to defeat him -- Sean Sherk. Florian says he and Sherk likely will meet for the lightweight title if Penn abandons it.
And Florian is confident the rematch will produce a different result.
"The next obvious match that has to happen is Sean Sherk-Kenny Florian for the title," said Florian, who lost a five-round decision to Sherk in October 2006. "I want to show Sean Sherk, I want to show the world, how far I have come since that fight.
"That fight is still something I think about. To show people how far I have come, that would be a dream match for me."

Sooner or later, if we live long enough, chances are we may need some sort of assisted care. Many seniors live in assisted care communities or facilities, where they can get the kind of medical care and assistance with daily living that they need. This would all be well and good if the cost of assisted living wasn't rising at an exorbitant rate every year. The numbers are staggering, putting the price of assisted living firmly out of reach for many seniors and the families that want to provide the very best living situation for their elderly loved ones.
Consider the following facts:
• A 2013 Cost of Care Survey revealed that the cost of Assisted Living rose 4.55% since 2012; the largest rate of increase among all categories of senior care in that time period
• A 2013 report by Genworth Financial put the median cost of a private room in a residential assisted living facility in 2013 at $230 a day, a 3.6% increase over 2012.
• Those living in residential assisted living facilities can expect a 3-5% annual rate increase in their base rate
These numbers are staggering, and there appears to be no end to these increases in sight. When you stop to consider that some 10,000 citizens will retire each day for the next 19 years, the issue is one that is literally crying out for solutions. Politicians and lawmakers, both at the state and federal level, are looking at the issues, but the red tape and special interests that mark these proceedings promise that any potential answers aren't forthcoming in the short term. So what are seniors and their families to do?
Depending on the level of care needed, seeking in-home help in the form of a nurse or senior companion to help with minor medical issues and day-to-day activities is a much more affordable option. Many seniors are living at home (either theirs or the home of a loved one) longer out of necessity, and licensed home health aides can help to make this scenario run much more smoothly.
In the meantime, we can only hope that as a society the concept of assisted living is not one that, due to finances, will someday be cost prohibitive to all but the very richest among us. With these costs it is better recommended to find a better alternative. These issues would truly be doing seniors and their families a disservice that they simply do not deserve.

On her recent appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman – Kate Hudson talked about how different her sons Bing, 22, months and Ryder, 9, are.
The actress explained, "Ryder is laid back…cool, sort of poetic type. Bing is a fireball. Knows what he wants…first word was ball, everything sporty. Bing is the more outgoing type. Ryder is super patient."
The Reluctant Fundamentalist also added, "[Ryder's] also lovely and funny and not at all presumptuous. He's a really good person. I'm happy about that."
The word "mom" is heard a lot during her day.
"I'm in the phase of my life right now where I hear 'Mom' all the time. I love it, but you start tuning out 100 'Moms' a day — [you learn to listen] for the right, 'Mom.' So I'll hear, 'Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom!' And I'll turn, 'Yeah, honey?' And Bing will just have Ryder by the hair and Ryder will be looking at me going, 'I just, I don't know what to do in this situation.' "
Talking about Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell – she shares, "There's that thing with families. I just turned 34 and yet, you go into the family dynamic and you're just … [my] parents have too much control and power over my life, my therapist is on speed dial."
But they are fun to be with. Hudson states, "There's nobody I would rather be with and spend time with. My parents know how to party — they're a blast!"
Asked about marrying Matt Bellamy – she replied, "I look forward to it. We'll both figure it out. We've been both very busy, but it will happen. We will get married. I do think it's important, but we have no plans. [Ryder] wants a party. For me it's not the legal part that is important, it's what it means to the family."

Healthy Eating ñ The Perks Of A High-Fiber Diet
Fiber Fights Diseases, And Can Help Stop Overeating
A diet thatís rich in fiber can help prevent a number of diseases, from constipation to colon cancer. Eating a high-fiber diet actually helps the body reduce or eradicate bad cholesterol, by binding fat and cholesterol in the digestive tract. Natural fiber can also help stop overeating. High-fiber foods take longer to chew and digest, making the person feel satisfied and full longer.
Processed Foods Donít Have Adequate Fiber Content
These days, grocery shelves are often filled with lots of processed meats, snacks and other food items. They also contain large amounts of artificial sweeteners, flavorings and preservatives. If you love eating processed foods, you may need to increase your fiber intake, because most processed foods lack adequate fiber content.
Fruits, Vegetables And Whole Grains Are Great Sources of Fiber
Fruits and vegetables are great sources of dietary fiber, which is actually plant matter. Fiber is largely composed of cellulose, which aids the body in digestion. Whole grains are also excellent dietary fiber sources. When cooking fruits and vegetables, you need not worry about cooking the fiber, because it stays there. The fiber found in most fruits and veggies are not just located on the skin or peel, but deep within.
Whatís The Recommended Fiber Intake?
According to nutritionists, getting the right amount of fiber is quite easy. All you need to do is eat the right foods, and youíll be on your way to getting adequate amounts of dietary fiber. However, if you consume more than 50 grams of fiber each day, you may get diarrhea or abdominal bloating, and it may also hinder the bodyís absorption of other essential minerals. Children who are two years and above also need to have their daily fiber intake, from fruits, vegetables and even fortified breakfast cereals.
Among the best sources of dietary fiber include dried beans and legumes, bran cereals, dried fruit, sweet corn, raspberries and strawberries, whole wheat, broccoli, plums, pears, apples, potatoes, raisins and prunes, dark green lettuce, spinach, kale, nuts, cherries, carrots, bananas, coconut and Brussels sprouts and more. Itís not hard to see the benefits of incorporating fiber into your daily eating plan. All you need to ensure is that you add these delightful foods into your regular diet.

Baby its been a little over 2 months since you have been gone. I miss you with all my heart and soul. I pray every-night for god to let me have you back, and to give e the strength to help me to be stronger for not only myself but our children. Lillian and Olivia miss you so much, and Jordan is turning into a video game junkie to try and cope with your passing. We all wish you were here back on earth with us. But I know in my heart that God has plans for you and that it was your time to go. Olivia's birthday is coming up she will be 2 years old. Then three days after her birthday will be yours. You will be 35 years old in less then 3 weeks. Sometimes I dont think I have the courage to go on, but I know that I have to because of our kids. I sometimes dont know if I'm coming or going and most mornings I dont want to get out of bed, but I know I have to. You were my rock and my protector Scott and I miss that, I'm so scared to take life head on because I don't have you to be behind me and support me. I do know that when I look into Lily and Olivia's faces I can see so much of you in them. Your pictures and text messages I look at and read everyday always put a smile on my face an joy in my heart. I know we had our ups and our downs, but in the end we were so much in love with each other that we couldn't go more then an hour without seeing or talking to each other. I miss you Scott Lansford...

|Suppose I used RackAware and then lost a rack. Then what?
|Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:06:19 GMT
I suppose the point behind RackAware is that you can lose one rack or datacenter and then recover somehow. How would the recovery work? I'd probably have part of my cluster left, the replication factor would be three, and I'd have less than a quorum for some of the rows. I'd have to add a bunch of new nodes in the remaining datacenter, then I'd have to somehow initiate a read repair to get a quorum back. I can't fill in the details. Is there a document I should read about this?

After finishing in 17th place last season, Aston Villa went big in the summer, signing a number of high-profile names in a bid to turn the fortunes of the club around. It hasn't worked and now the Birmingham club sit bottom of the table, with Scottish champions Celtic just one of a number of clubs ready to pick the bones from Remi Garde's side in the summer.
Seeing Villa drop down to the Championship could be profitable for a whole host of European clubs, as despite some terrible team performance there are several quality players who could be a good addition for any team.
One such player is the Ghanaian international Jordan Ayew. The 24-year-old joined the Villains from Ligue 1 side FC Lorient at the start of the season for £8 million and netted his debut goal for the club on 24 October 2015 against his brother Andre's club, Swansea City.
Celtic's dominance in Scotland has been tested by Aberdeen this season, but their main problem has been a failure to make an impact on the European stage – signing a player like Ayew could be a step in the right direction for the Bhoys.
Let's be honest, the main reason for Celtic's up and down form is a lack of quality players at the highest level. Good enough for domestic success, but struggle once the level of competition is raised.
Ayew has scored five goals in his 19 Premier League appearances, with a shot accuracy of 64% according to Squawka. He has also made nine key passes, created nine chances and committed 36% successful take-ons. The numbers aren't instantly impressive but the quality of his individual performances, determination in attack and his quickness could be a huge bonus for teams who currently lack those traits in attack.
Ayew can lead the line, hold the ball up and make quick decisions in attack. He has quality on the ball, but always a fight, drive and determination that could be a huge asset to Celtic, something the Parkhead club have been missing in recent years.

Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed or pulled through a die of the desired cross-section. The two main advantages of this process over other manufacturing processes are its ability to create very complex cross-sections, and to work materials that are brittle, because the material only encounters compressive and shear stresses. It also forms parts with an excellent surface finish
Extrusion may be continuous (theoretically producing indefinitely long material) or semi-continuous (producing many pieces). The extrusion process can be done with the material hot or cold.
Commonly extruded materials include metals, polymers, ceramics, concrete, play dough, and foodstuffs. The products of extrusion are generally called "extrudates". Drawing metal is the main way to produce wire and sheet, and bar and tube are also often drawn.
Hollow cavities within extruded material cannot be produced using a simple flat extrusion die, because there would be no way to support the center barrier of the die. Instead, the die assumes the shape of a block with depth, beginning first with a shape profile that supports the center section. The die shape then internally changes along its length into the final shape, with the suspended center pieces supported from the back of the die.The extrusion process in metals may also increase the strength of the material.
Extrusion of a round blank through a die.
The process begins by heating the stock material (for hot or warm extrusion). It is then loaded into the container in the press. A dummy block is placed behind it where the ram then presses on the material to push it out of the die. Afterward the extrusion is stretched in order to straighten it. If better properties are required then it may be heat treated or cold worked.
The extrusion ratio is defined as the starting cross-sectional area divided by the cross-sectional area of the final extrusion. One of the main advantages of the extrusion process is that this ratio can be very large while still producing quality parts.
Hot extrusion
Hot extrusion is a hot working process, which means it is done above the material's recrystallization temperature to keep the material from work hardening and to make it easier to push the material through the die. Most hot extrusions are done on horizontal hydraulic presses that range from 230 to 11,000 metric tons (250 to 12,130 short tons). Pressures range from 30 to 700 MPa (4,400 to 101,500 psi), therefore lubrication is required, which can be oil or graphite for lower temperature extrusions, or glass powder for higher temperature extrusions. The biggest disadvantage of this process is its cost for machinery and its upkeep.
Cold extrusion
Cold extrusion is done at room temperature or near room temperature. The advantages of this over hot extrusion are the lack of oxidation, higher strength due to cold working, closer tolerances, better surface finish, and fast extrusion speeds if the material is subject to hot shortness.
Materials that are commonly cold extruded include: lead, tin, aluminum, copper, zirconium, titanium, molybdenum, beryllium, vanadium, niobium, and steel. Examples of products produced by this process are: collapsible tubes, fire extinguisher cases, shock absorber cylinders and gear blanks.
Warm extrusion
Warm extrusion is done above room temperature, but below the recrystallization temperature of the material the temperatures ranges from 800 to 1800 °F (424 to 975 °C). It is usually used to achieve the proper balance of required forces, ductility and final extrusion properties.
Extrusion defects
Surface cracking occurs when the surface of an extrusion splits. This is often caused by the extrusion temperature, friction, or speed being too high. It can also happen at lower temperatures if the extruded product temporarily sticks to the die.
Pipe – A flow pattern that draws the surface oxides and impurities to the center of the product. Such a pattern is often caused by high friction or cooling of the outer regions of the billet.
Internal cracking – When the center of the extrusion develops cracks or voids. These cracks are attributed to a state of hydrostatic tensile stress at the centerline in the deformation zone in the die. (A similar situation to the necked region in a tensile stress specimen)
Surface lines – When there are lines visible on the surface of the extruded profile. This depends heavily on the quality of the die production and how well the die is maintained, as some residues of the material extruded can stick to the die surface and produce the embossed lines.
A horizontal hydraulic press for hot aluminum extrusion (loose dies and scrap visible in foreground)
There are many different variations of extrusion equipment. They vary by four major characteristics:[1]
Movement of the extrusion with relation to the ram. If the die is held stationary and the ram moves towards it then it is called "direct extrusion". If the ram is held stationary and the die moves towards the ram it is called "indirect extrusion".
The position of the press, either vertical or horizontal.
The type of drive, either hydraulic or mechanical.
The type of load applied, either conventional (variable) or hydrostatic.
A single or twin screw auger, powered by an electric motor, or a ram, driven by hydraulic pressure (often used for steel and titanium alloys), oil pressure (for aluminium), or in other specialized processes such as rollers inside a perforated drum for the production of many simultaneous streams of material.Typical extrusion presses cost more than $100,000, whereas dies can cost up to $2000.
Direct extrusion
Plot of forces required by various extrusion processes.
Direct extrusion, also known as forward extrusion, is the most common extrusion process. It works by placing the billet in a heavy walled container. The billet is pushed through the die by a ram or screw. There is a reusable dummy block between the ram and the billet to keep them separated. The major disadvantage of this process is that the force required to extrude the billet is greater than that needed in the indirect extrusion process because of the frictional forces introduced by the need for the billet to travel the entire length of the container. Because of this the greatest force required is at the beginning of process and slowly decreases as the billet is used up. At the end of the billet the force greatly increases because the billet is thin and the material must flow radially to exit the die. The end of the billet (called the butt end) is not used for this reason.
Indirect extrusion
In indirect extrusion, also known as backwards extrusion, the billet and container move together while the die is stationary. The die is held in place by a "stem" which has to be longer than the container length. The maximum length of the extrusion is ultimately dictated by the column strength of the stem. Because the billet moves with the container the frictional forces are eliminated. This leads to the following advantages:
A 25 to 30% reduction of friction, which allows for extruding larger billets, increasing speed, and an increased ability to extrude smaller cross-sections
There is less of a tendency for extrusions to crack because there is no heat formed from friction
The container liner will last longer due to less wear
The billet is used more uniformly so extrusion defects and coarse grained peripherals zones are less likely.
The disadvantages are:
Impurities and defects on the surface of the billet affect the surface of the extrusion. These defects ruin the piece if it needs to be anodized or the aesthetics are important. In order to get around this the billets may be wire brushed, machined or chemically cleaned before being used.
This process isn't as versatile as direct extrusions because the cross-sectional area is limited by the maximum size of the stem.
Hydrostatic extrusion
In the hydrostatic extrusion process the billet is completely surrounded by a pressurized liquid, except where the billet contacts the die. This process can be done hot, warm, or cold, however the temperature is limited by the stability of the fluid used. The process must be carried out in a sealed cylinder to contain the hydrostatic medium. The fluid can be pressurized two ways:
Constant-rate extrusion: A ram or plunger is used to pressurize the fluid inside the container.
Constant-pressure extrusion: A pump is used, possibly with a pressure intensifier, to pressurize the fluid, which is then pumped to the container.
The advantages of this process include:
No friction between the container and the billet reduces force requirements. This ultimately allows for faster speeds, higher reduction ratios, and lower billet temperatures.
Usually the ductility of the material increases when high pressures are applied.
An even flow of material.
Large billets and large cross-sections can be extruded.
No billet residue is left on the container walls.
The disadvantages are:
The billets must be prepared by tapering one end to match the die entry angle. This is needed to form a seal at the beginning of the cycle. Usually the entire billet needs to be machined to remove any surface defects.
Containing the fluid under high pressures can be difficult.
Most modern direct or indirect extrusion presses are hydraulically driven, but there are some small mechanical presses still used. Of the hydraulic presses there are two types: direct-drive oil presses and accumulator water drives.

SINGAPORE (Reuters Life!) - Who says you can't have it all? An Asian hotelier is offering luxury, boutique resorts at idyllic destinations and their carbon footprint is small, too.
Singapore-based Alila Hotels and Resorts, which has properties in the Maldives, Thailand, Laos and Indonesia, is one of a handful of hoteliers in the Asia Pacific region that are leading in sustainable tourism, according to independent industry environmental advisory group EC3 Global.
Sustainable tourism aims to make travelers aware of their impact on the environment, both natural and cultural, of their destination, and spans everything from hotel design and construction to what is served on the menu.
"We believe in creating something unique that supports the local environment, and on having very little impact on that environment," Sean Brennan, general manager of the Alila Villas Uluwatu in Bali, Indonesia, which opened last month.
"Too long, too many hotels have given too much hot air about the environment, but nobody has really made a difference. What we're doing is not limiting the luxury, just using smart design."
The Uluwatu villas was designed and built according to EC3 Global's "Green Globe" benchmark, and is one of three Alila hotels in Bali. The older properties also have green programs.
In Asia Pacific, 39 hotels have Green Globe certification and Andre Russ, EC3 Global's head of global markets, said the region's tourism industry had espoused environmental standards much faster than other parts of the world.
"Many countries in the region really rely on tourism and recently we have seen a shift in the way hoteliers in the Asia Pacific together with tourism destinations address sustainability," he told Reuters.
"This holistic approach, addressing not only the design, but operational performance of an asset is to be applauded."
Alila, which has an in-house environmental adviser and whose headquarters are carbon neutral, is opening a fourth, all-villa luxury resort on Bali, the Alila Villas Soori, in November and says their business from now will only be green.
"We're aware that our planet is dying," said Jessica Siswantoro from Alila. "We have to give something back."
The hotel group is also getting something back -- its Uluwatu property, where rates start at $725 a night, have seen 87 percent occupancy since opening, despite the global recession.
Brennan said a third of all guests were coming to the hotel because of its environmental and social credentials. More than half the staff are locals and the hotel also supports Balinese artists and performers, as well as local charities.
"There are only three items on the menu that are not locally sourced -- the beef, the lamb and the cheese," he said. "We go to the nth degree to make sure everything is environmentally sound."
The Alila hotels are designed to blend in with the local landscape and maximize sea breezes for cooling and the sun for heating. They are constructed largely by hand, using bricks made from local materials and furniture made from wood once used in telegraph poles and railway lines.
Pools are filled with salt, not chlorinated, water and local shrubs form the landscape.
Soo K. Chan, design director of architects SCDA which works with Alila, said it takes at least twice as long to design and build a hotel that meets sustainable tourism requirements, and it is also significantly more expensive.
"But it's also much more challenging and in the long-run, it's cheaper to run because of the efficiency element," he said.
"And it's rewarding," added Brennan. "Much more rewarding than doing the chain or tower hotel approach."

Derringers safe to carry?
I agree that a derringer is not the best weapon to carry. I carry a full size XD 45 and have a Ruger LCP as a BUG. I do have a Cobra 38 caliber Derringer in the gun safe, more of a novelty than anything else. However, I read alot of threads on different sites saying they are unsafe to carry. My Cobra has a safety and a half-cock position. What makes these any more unsafe that the standard snubby revolver?
I think they are plenty safe to carry as long as you keep your purse pointed in a safe direction at all times.:D
Some derringers don't have a safety and without a trigger guard some may feel that a derringer may mistakenly fire in one's pocket, purse, etc. I think they're a great ankle gun with the proper holster. ;)
Some of them do have a manual safety. If you get one with a safety, it would be a good second / deep undercover gun (ankle holster or pocket carry).
Safe to carry Yes, good for defense not so much. Difficult to hold, easy to get a finger or other body part in front of. It's a novelty firearm.
Do Derringers inherently have no trigger guard?

Here's a less typical Derringer that could be used to carry

Dear Ms Drake, Many thanks for sending us your important feedback regarding the experience you have had recently as a patient at this hospital. Our staff try very hard to provide all our patients with a high standard of care and I was therefore very pleased to hear that you felt the treatment and care you received on this occasion met this aim. I will forward your comments to the Head of our Medical Division so they can be shared with the staff, as I am sure they also will be most appreciative. Many thanks once again for taking the time to send us your feedback and may I take this opportunity to wish you very best wishes for the future. Kind regards Miss Deborah Furness, a member of the Patient Experience team at the Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
