Most of us have adopted little rules for living: Don't snack after midnight; don't take candy from strangers; don't date musicians; read the instruction manual.
One of my rules is not to put vegetable plants in the ground until my birthday, which is at the end of this month.
The rule corresponds with the probability that Chico will not experience another frost until after this date.
(For a very cool explanation on last frost dates and Chico-specific temperature averages: http://goo.gl/ewqTz).
Like almost all things in my life, I've learned caution the hard way.
Some guy with a Ph.D talked me into planting in early April. I ended up running around the yard in my raincoat, putting plastic buckets over tiny tomato plants.
Other years I waited until May, then listened to people like the professor brag about red tomatoes in June.
My solution this year will be to wait longer than some would advise and spend more money on larger plants. Bonus if the tomato branches already have green fruit when I bring them home.
Planting by seed, of course, is always preferable. You can enjoy the plants from seed to compost, and relish in your gardening prowess.
Lettuce rejoice
Several weeks ago I bought a six-pack at the farmers market that contained three different types of lettuce. I've harvested two large bowls of salad, with more on the way.
That same week I planted two rows of spinach seeds in the same raised bed. As you would guess, there are two spindly spinach plants.
The basil seeds planted two weeks ago are doing much better, with two rows of seedlings that look like green Star Wars fighter planes.
(For basil-growing instructions: http://goo.gl/aA36A).
If these don't work out, I'll buy a one-gallon basil plant for less than five bucks.
Another experiment in instant gratification was to buy a package of "live lettuce," or "living lettuce." This is sold at a regular grocery store, in a plastic dome, with the root ball attached. The concept is that the lettuce is "alive" and will stay fresh in your fridge.
After eating the greenery down to a stub, I planted the root ball in my raised bed. The plants survived and thrived.
Lunar rules for planting
This week a friend excitedly asked if I had planted my garden.
I had barely nodded when she explained that she follows the Old Farmer's Almanac, taking care to plant above-ground vegetables during the waxing phase of the moon.
Root crops, she explained, should be planted after a full moon.
I had not factored this into my last frost/birthday equations. Darn it.
Her method sounded like a delightful rule for gardening, and just as good as any of the rules I currently live by.
Because the full moon was yesterday, I'll have almost an entire month to plant radish seeds, which are below-ground vegetables.
Also, when I buy my 14-inch tomato plants, I'll ask the grower if they recall the phase of the moon when the seeds were planted. That should be an interesting conversation.
Cutting hair
For my birthday, my sister has said she will cut my hair. The Old Farmer's Almanac, http://goo.gl/W5hnR, also has moon rules for cutting your hair.
From now until May 8, a haircut will "retard growth," and is also a good time to quit smoking, start a diet, and mow your lawn to inhibit growth, the almanac states authoritatively.
It also recommends waiting until May 2 to dig post holes.
Now you know.

Daily Slice gives a quick snapshot each weekday of a different slice or pie that the folks at the Serious Eats empire have enjoyed lately.
Having talked about Starbelly quite a lot already, it shouldn't surprise you that I took Carey there for brunch when she was in town. And, seeing that their brunch menu featured a riff on a Green Goddess salad and their excellent bacon and jalapeno studded spaghetti in pizza form, it was a given that we would have to give it a try.
The pizza ($14), topped with thick nubs of chewy, smokey Starbelly bacon, seed-in jalapeno rings, a healthy sprinkling of arugula, and a drizzle of Green Goddess dressing was a nice combination of flavors—meaty saltiness and spice, bitter freshness and creamy richness—but the ample amount of that excellent bacon really stole the show. As Starbelly's excellent sourdough crust is a good vehicle for any topping, this was a combination that made for a nice brunch dish, and equally nice leftovers.

Ashlee to Follow Jessica Into Fashion: 'I would love to do a line'
By Drew Mackie, with reporting by Mary S. Park
Singer, actress, wife to rocker Pete Wentz and mommy to high-energy toddler Bronx Mowgli, Ashlee Simpson does it all. But she's also a dyed-in-the-wool apparel aficionado who managed to squeeze in a few stops at New York Fashion Week. Outside Thursday's BCBG Max Azria show, the hip mom-on-the-go spoke with the press -- including Wonderwall -- about what items she has her eye on, her forthcoming fashion line and how her personal style has developed.
What brings you to the BCBG Max Azria show?
AS: I love this line. It's such a great line, and for me it was a great day. It's wonderful. It's great to wear. It fits a woman's body beautifully, it's fun, and it's young. I always love coming to this show.
What BCBG item are you dying for?
AS: One thing from this line? I haven't seen the dresses yet. I came here one year and I saw a dress, and I said, "I want that right now!" They were so sweet to give it to me, and I got to wear it to the MTV Awards, like, three years ago.
How would you describe your style?
AS: It kind of goes with whatever I'm in the mood for that day. And for me, today, I love this BCBG leather jacket and I love this little bag. I was with Bronx this morning, so I kind of went casual, but in a kind of good little rocker way.
RELDATED: See Ashlee at her most stylish
Would you ever have your own line like your sister does?
AS: Yeah, I would love to do a line. It's something my friend and I are working on… We're slowly taking it there. We definitely have our ideas and our inspiration… Definitely it's something that I would love to do. It's relatively close. We have our little look books that we're starting to get together.
Pete Wentz did it with DKNY.
Yeah, has Clandestine Industries. We all love fashion.
Is Jessica helping you?
AS: You know, I actually don't help her with her line [although] she's helped me with ours. We definitely support each other no matter what. And I wear her line all the time. Her shoes are amazing and her jeans are so comfortable.
RELATED: Nothing but love between Jessica and Ashlee
Do you have a favorite pair of Jessica's jeans?
AS: I'm a fan of the skinny jeans. Definitely. And they're cute on the booty. That's always important when it comes to jeans.
You're such a fashionable mom. What's your favorite beauty tip?
AS: Go with the flow of what you're wearing that day what you feel good in. I think that's the most important thing: wearing something that you feel good in.
What are you doing to keep fit?
AS: Running around, chasing Bronx. He's running now, he's on the go, you know? So that's what I've been doing. And yoga.
RELATED: See Bronx Mowgli and other celeb babies in Guess the Celebrity Tot
How has being a mom changed your style?
AS: I definitely just like to throw things on. I love vintage wear as well, and I love a beautiful dress. Who doesn't want to get dressed up every now and then? So that's always nice. But I definitely am a ballet flats-and-jeans kind of girl.
You're always changing your hair color. What's your favorite?
AS: I mean, I figure it's hair, you know what I mean? You've got one life. I'm going to be like that grandma in "Fried Green Tomatoes" with my green converse and pink hair. No, I like them all. I'm naturally blonde though.
We never could have guessed, Ashlee!

A customer of Schneiders Beuro in Berlin demos his wonderful Haken Continuum. I've played one of these before and it feels and sounds terrific. I really want one of these but at $5290 it's not in the cards at least this year. If your looking for something in the same thought arena check out the Eowave Persephone: click here. Be sure to check out video 2 at around 56 seconds in!
"Designed by Dr. Lippold Haken and manufactured by Haken Audio, the Continuum Fingerboard is a Midi performance controller that allows unprecedented realtime musical control. With a greater pitch range than a traditional 88 note Midi keyboard, the Continuum offers realtime continuous control in three directions for every finger that is placed on the playing surface. Included internally is a custom designed synthesizer, specifically programmed to take advantage of the subtle and dramatic expressive musical possibilities of the Continuum. The Continuum is available in full-size (nearly 8 octaves) and half-size (nearly 4 octaves) versions." – hakenaudio.com

THE Trip, Arches National Park, The Last Hike, Tapestry Arch
Man was ready for another hike, we had one day left in Moab before we would hit the road again, heading for Bryce Canyon. We decide on a hike in Arches National Park. We had at least 2 brochures to study to assist in our decision on which hike we would attempt. We had the Arches National Park Visitor Guide dated 2010 No. 3, which on page 4 shows the hikes divided by their estimation of difficulty. There is no way we are going to try anything more than Easy, based on previous walks we had taken at various parks. We also had the brochure handed to us when we entered the park. Both guides stated that the Broken Arch Trail was easy, about 1.3 miles round trip and should take us 30 to 60 minutes. Well, we have already proven there is NO way we can do this in 60 minutes, I stop too much to gawk and take photos, we know it will take us close to twice that amount of time.
We have water, hats, sunscreen, walking sticks, snacks, extra battery for Sony, and of course, Sony. We are ready to go. Let's hike! Just minutes after we begin, this is the view:
Below, sections of the trail are soft sand:
Up the trail a bit further there is a sign announcing Tapestry Arch, 300 yards. 300 yards? Yep, gotta go have a lookie see. Here is Man scampering over a dead Utah pine, beyond, the trail abruptly turns from soft sand to slickrock. I actually chose to go right, ducking under another Utah pine, around most of this pile of limbs, as I felt a bit uneasy with the width of the trail. Ya, I picked what looked like the "easier" path. LOL
After we scamper up that slick rock and follow the cairns over a few more, here is Tapestry Arch. You should seriously consider clicking on the image, for the larger version, click your browser back button to return here to Reflections:
A bit closer look courtesy of Sony and photo editing:
Back on the trail, red red slick rock and formations continue to fill us with awe:
The trail has changed from rather deep soft sand to a harder packed surface. Much easier walking.
Our first view of Broken Arch, our "destination" ??
Next, we shall take you up to the Arch, and beyond. It is getting to the "beyond" stage that proves a bit challenging for Reflections.
* Now you know I take way too many photos, yes, I do. Some have asked, what does Man do while I am busy shooting TOO many photos?? Well, here, have a lookie see:

Looks like some interesting hiking. Also looks like a prime place to be running up on snakes. Were you two the only people out there?
- September 7, 2011 at 7:46 AM
- Barbara Poole said...
Good question Lisa, I was wondering the same two things. A rattler could have snuggled up against Man.
- September 7, 2011 at 9:02 AM
- Carol said...
No snakes, thank goodness! We saw a few people on the trail, one delightful couple from Germany that we ran into twice, they were going the opposite direction on the trail, we had 2 nice conversations with them. And of notice, a gang of little people, a class of children, maybe 4 to 6 years old, on a field trip! I was reminded how, mmm, old I am getting, as I watched them charge and scramble up long hills and rocks, the same hills and rocks that took me forever to lumber up. SIGH! LOL

Re: Butch passed away on October 9th, at peace and at home
Oh my gosh, Sue - that is exactly what happened to me a few days ago - I couldn't smell Butch in that pillow - prior to that each time I picked it up or went near it I could smell him. That was traumatic. When I tell people about this site and the fact that there are 4 of us right now it the same situation, they can't believe it! I have to tell you all - it helped me to write you this morning. The depression lifted a bit, and today was a better day. Darla - it is too bad that we can't all meet for breakfast somewhere we have NEVER been before - we could have a wonderful time together - commiserating. We do seem to be sharing feelings at the same time, and that is a gift right now - I hope to all of us.
Love - Joyce

quote:After boarding, I asked (out of curiosity) how could I adjust the amount of gratuity if service was not as expected. The response was somewhat surprising....I was told that I couldn't do this on the ship...that I would have to contact Carnival in Miami AFTER the cruise to try to get a refund. Fortunately, no action was needed on my part as service was better than expected, but I found it strange
that Carnival encourages you to pre-pay, but doesn't offer any ship-board recourse if things go wrong during the cruise itself.

From wedding ceremonies to wedding pictures, Chinese traditional wedding customs have almost been totally westernized in the last few years. You see many wedding photography studio with names like "Paris". Obviously, these studios are not even remotely connected with France. The French neither take wedding photos before wedding ceremony nor in wedding photography studios as they do in China. This is true not only in France, but also Russia, Britain, Italy and other European countries that don't follow traditions similar to China.
Many Russian friends who came to China for the first time felt quite surprised to see that many new couples take wedding pictures before wedding ceremony. In their mind, the wedding dress is very sacred and can be only worn on the wedding day. For my western friends, it would be incredible to wear a wedding dress before the actual wedding as it would bring "bad luck" if the groom was to see bride in her dress before the wedding ceremony.
Of course, it is quite necessary to take pictures of the wedding ceremony as a memento and professional photographers are often hired for the day. In fact, many new couples spend a lot of money on professional photographers; however, it is also common for family and friends to take photos if their money is limited. Newlywed couples are photographed with their family and friends and on their own. Photographs are usually taken after the wedding ceremony, just before people leave for the wedding reception. Many couples take their wedding photos in the grounds of their church, registry office or, increasingly in the grounds of the venue they have chosen for their wedding.
In China, wedding pictures are made into an album and some of the pictures will be picked out to make big pictures hanging in pride of place in the family home. This is also true in Europe. We are not so different after all.

Curb Your Enthusiasm
Genre: Comedy
Premiere: 2000
Network: HBO
IMDB Rating: 8.5/10
Sessons: 8
Full Episodes: 88
Watch Stream Online:
Full Show Summary
With Curb your enthusiasm, Larry David, creator of Seinfeld, delivers one the most original comedies in current TV. The concept is brilliant - instead of hiding behind a character, David decides to lend his own image and voice to the scripts of the show, with a result that is part fictional series, part reality TV. Many of the episodes are based on the author's actual experiences and acquaintances in Hollywood, which makes the show more believable, and also more hilarious. The stories don't have a classical beginning or an ending, and usually shows us Larry during a number of days, interacting with the world and displaying his particular opinions and behaviours. One of the vignettes show him him buying some weed from a street dealer (played by Jorge García, of Lost fame) to "try a new experience", but instead of being discreet during the buy he's extremely awkward. In another episode, he tries to avoid a charitable act to which he's been invited by Michael J. Fox, and ends up spending two month in Paris, which of course is much more inconvenient. The episodes feature many other guest stars that greatly enhance the attrative of the show. Through Larry's eyes, we're able to see the absurdity of many of the conventionalisms of today's society. He's a rebel of shorts, but he usually has to pay a price for it. Of course, some of the troubles he gets into are caused exclusively by his obsessions, that lead him to make a big fuzz over insignificant things, echoing what we saw in several of Seinfield's characters. If you remotely enjoy acid comedy and humor in the vein of Woody Allen, you'll probably have a heartful laugh with Curb your enthusiasm.

Acclaimed author Teju Cole's writing has appeared in numerous journals in Nigeria and the United States. His second novel, Open City is the story of a Nigerian-German psychiatrist making a living in New York City five years after the Twin Towers were destroyed. The tale emerges as a rich and unforgettable meditation of life and culture.
©2011 Teju Cole (P)2011 Recorded Books, LLC
"Reminiscent of the works of W.G. Sebald, this dreamy, incantatory debut was the most beautiful novel I read this year—the kind of book that remains on your nightstand long after you finish so that you can continue dipping in occasionally as a nighttime consolation." (Ruth Franklin, The New Republic)
"A psychological hand grenade." (Alexis Madrigal, The Atlantic, Best Books I Read This Year)
"A meditative and startlingly clear-eyed first novel." (Newsweek/Daily Beast Writers' Favorite Books 2011)
"A Rich Tapestry"
Under the guise of young professional's straying thoughts as he walks New York (and later, Amsterdam), Cole weaves a complex world, combining thoughts on the world (everything from bed bugs to economic collapse), personal memoir, happenstance conversations, history and the world around him. As in the movie "The Waking Life", long passages of the novel are incidental monologues that characters seem to recite to the narrator, almost unprompted.
Open City rewards patience. On a minute, paragraph by paragraph scale, Cole's laconic plotting might seem aimless, but rich themes bubble to the fore of each chapter, and larger themes invite probing and relistening as you dig into the book. Cole paints a complex but vivid character, a man who seems to accomplish much but dreams so much more. Yet, you'll see, he isn't quite an angel.
I enjoyed this book greatly. It has its conceits - why does everyone open themselves up so unreservedly to this mysterious narrator? - but the tapestry of thoughts, conversations and dreamlike action, all told with gorgeous prose, was intoxicating. I've actually found it's rich world worth exploring again with a relisten.
"Stream of consciousness novel"
It was interesting, though unusual. Cole's descriptions of places and people made it easy to visualize them.
"Great book"
This is a great book. It is thoughtful and insightful. The writing is beautiful and the images of New York are great.
This looked very much like the kind of book I like, but I was not thrilled by it. I was first worried when I found the first section stiff and boring...but I don't love discussions of classical music, so I thought maybe that's why I was not listening intently. The middle part got more interesting, but any insights into the narrator and his dilemmas were either incomplete hints, or too subtle for me to follow. There is a lot of potentially interesting stuff to come from exploring the relationships between the Nigerian/German narrator and various other expatriates, and African Americans in NYC, but this stuff was more academic than integrated into a story. Overall this novel felt like a lot of connective tissue had been removed for the sake of a leaner book, and that it might have been better if it hadn't been so whittled down. I was also misled by the idea that NYC was a major part of the story, which it is not--at least not the way it is in Colum McCann's novel Let the Great World Spin. (It may be that reading the latter while listening to this really put Cole at a disadvantage.)
"Not for me"
I listened for about two hours and then gave up. I am usually all for a "flaneur-esque" narratives that meander through city spaces, but with this one I couldn't see the point or why I should care. The observations, to me, seemed as if they were meant to be profound but really weren't. I appreciate the idea of chance encounters as the narrator makes is way through NYC but it just didn't work for me.
"Walk Along"
The "story" here as rather intriguing. I had some issues with the actor's voice, though. Many times it seemed he was thinking too hard about the words he was saying, pausing to annunciate everything. Also, he seemed to get a sore throat partway through one of the final chapters.
"Great book and narrator"
This book moved me so that I listened to it on audible and then bought the hard copy. The main character Julius is so fractured and human that he remains in my mind long after I've finished the book. Kevin Mambo as narrator kept me submerged in this complex text. I hope Mambo narrates another book very soon.
"Made me think"
This story blossoms a thought process around several global issues while offering very little plot and no closure. The writing is so excellent that I still give it 4 stars.
"Never pulled me in..."
Although the writing (reading in this case) was lyrical and well done, it just never grabbed my attention. I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing did. The ramblings were occasionally moderately interesting but not much else. If you like differently told stories and literary fiction then you will likely enjoy this as it seems to be much celebrated. Although the narration was great, the book just didn't do it for me.
Another reviewer referred to this novel as a 'stream of consciousness ' novel and that it may well be. I just couldn't get into it. I felt that there is probably a great deal of deep meaning within this novel, well I must be really shallow! As the story went on, I found that my mind was wandering and I really didn't care about the main character. To me the narrator sounded as though he was just recovering from a chest infection that had left his voice a little gravely. I have plenty of books in my library and I couldn't continue with what I felt was a waste of my time.

Microsoft's new ARM-based Surface RT tablet has received its first slew of updates in the monthly "patch Tuesday" update cycle. As well as the usual security holes being fixed, one of the updates apparently improves application loading times, as reported by The Verge, "On average, apps launched around two seconds faster than before, a noticeable improvement". However, Windows Phone Central felt that their tablet was faster, but couldn't definitively say so. No doubt the tablet works more smoothly in a lot of subtle ways and that's what they're noticing. Of course, Microsoft has released patches for all its other operating systems too.
Our own update took about 20 minutes (device kept going into Standby) and it does require a soft reset. So far, performance looks good though it's hard for us to definitively say things are faster.

Gnome and I visited the last that we know of full-fledged Noble Romans restaurants. Still looks the same as it did 20 years ago. New Castle had one but it went away in the early 90's, and this one reminded me of it in a lot of ways, even though the floor plan was different.
Anyway, we got a meat pizza, sicilian style, and while I would probably pass on their ham next time (it was tiny little diced ham), overall it hit the spot.

Those interested in showing off their talents have an opportunity to take the stage at "Los Altos Live!," the fifth annual talent show featuring local performers of all ages.
Auditions are scheduled noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in Room 803 at Los Altos High School, 201 Almond Ave. The "Live" event is slated 7:30 p.m. April 20 at Los Altos High's Eagle Theater.
Performers must register to audition. Forms are available at the audition or online at www.losaltosonline.com (scan through "News Flash" items to "'Los Altos Live!' auditions slated") to access the form. A parent or legal guardian must sign for child performers.
"We really, really want to encourage acts of all ages to come and audition," said organizer Abby Althoff. "Anyone who lives in and/or around Los Altos is welcome – that is basically everyone."
Past events have featured performers ranging in age from younger than 10 to older than 80. Talents on display include juggling, stand-up comedy, singing, dancing and piano and violin virtuosos.
Proceeds from the Los Altos Cultural Association-sponsored event benefit the Camp Everytown program. Camp Everytown is a four-day leadership-training program for high school students designed to reduce stereotyping and prejudice while increasing understanding and respect for others.

- Place of Occurrence: Broward County
- Jurisdiction: Broward County
- 15-year-old female
- Douglas Eaton, male, 48, 5/28/65, 4080 W. Palm Aire Drive, #2, Pompano Beach
Description of Incident:
Broward Sheriff's Office detectives with the Internet Crimes Against Children/Human Trafficking Unit have arrested a Pompano Beach man for having sex with a 15-year-old girl and for having child pornography on his computer.
Douglas Eaton, 48, of Doug's Photography, Inc. makes his living shooting school portraits, youth sporting events, school dances and teen modeling photos, as well as wedding and family portraits. Detectives say that in June, Eaton contacted an escort service, and the 15-year-old victim was taken to his home. The two engaged in sexual relations, for which he paid her $180. He was charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious battery and for procuring someone under 18 for prostitution. The girl was recovered by law enforcement and is no longer being sexually exploited.
During their investigation, detectives found several images of child pornography depicting girls from ages 8 to 13, approximately, on his home computer. He was charged with seven counts of possessing child pornography and one count of using a computer to collect child pornography.
This was Eaton's first arrest, and there is no indication that he victimized anyone he met through his work as a photographer, but detectives encourage anyone who has information that indicates otherwise to please report it to law enforcement.

- How to Read a Study Record
To determine whether gradual initiation of sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (SMX/TMP) reduces the incidence of treatment-limiting adverse reactions compared to the routine initiation of the drugs for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) prophylaxis in HIV-infected patients.
Although a number of clinical trials have demonstrated the superiority of SMX/TMP for PCP prophylaxis, the incidence of adverse reactions to this medication is high. In a pilot study in which patients were initiated with SMX/TMP prophylaxis by gradually increasing the dose over 2 weeks, no significant adverse reactions have occurred.

Fredi concerned with relievers' wildness
VIERA, Fla. -- Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez has said he is keeping his options open as he plans for who might be in his bullpen at the beginning of the year. But it's safe to say he would have liked to have avoided having to watch a number of these candidates pitch during Saturday afternoon's 16-15 loss to the Nationals at Space Coast Stadium.
Ryan Buchter, Anthony Varvaro, Mark Lamm, Juan Jaime and Wirfin Obispo combined to issue 11 walks in a span of four innings (the third through the sixth). Lamm is the only member of this group who has not been considered a legit candidate for one of the spots in Atlanta's bullpen.
"You still want guys to pound the strike zone and we didn't do that," Gonzalez said. "After [Julio] Teheran, we had those middle innings where we were walking a couple guys an inning. I think I made three or four pitching changes [in the middle of an inning]. That doesn't happen very often in Spring Training."
Buchter entered camp with the potential to begin the season as a left-handed specialist. But his candidacy was further weakened as he issued a walk and allowed a pair of runs in Saturday's third inning. Both of the left-handed batters he faced -- Denard Span and Bryce Harper -- reached safely. Span singled up the middle and Harper drew a walk.
Varvaro allowed three hits and issued a walk while recording just one out before being replaced in the fourth inning by Lamm, who issued three walks and surrendered two hits while recording just two outs. After Jaime walked two and allowed a run in the fifth, Obispo issued four walks and notched just one out in Washington's five-run sixth inning.

Mild cerebral atrophy
Last year, I had, for days, a burning sensation and head-ache inside the head and after a MRI of brain, it was confirmed that I was suffering from Venous Angioma. I was not given any treatment. Later I approached a Docto who practises both Allopathic ad Ayurvedic treatment. I am under his treatment for the past 10 months and there is considerable improvement. This week , the doctor advised me to have another Brain MRI done, which I obeyed. There was no indication of Venous Angioma in the report, but the new report says there is Mild Cerebral Atrophy. I was told by the Doctor and radiologist that there is nothing to worry about. My own doctor told me that there is some decaying of brain cells, but that it comes with age. (I am now 64). He did not prescribe any treatment for this (Mild Cerebral Atrophy). But I am a bit worried.
Is there no treatment for Mild Cerebral Atrophy?
There is no treatment for mild cerebral atrophy except to treat all vascular risk factors (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.). It is believed that these risk factors do potentially accelerate brain atrophy. We do tend to see some atrophy even in those who have healthy aging. In the worst case scenario, brain atrophy can be associated with cognitive dysfunction and eventually dementia. While atrophy can be seen without any cognitive change, it is important to be vigilant for cognitive changes which we never consider normal. I would recommend that you continue to work with your local physicians to monitor your physical and mental health.

I was fortunate to spend several months in Germany and enjoyed many of the foods and flavors I've incorporated into this recipe.
This burger contains a bit of Illinois with the bella mushrooms that are grown in Illinois.
This midwest-inspired brat burger is packed with many great flavors...like bella mushrooms from Illinois. The kraut-chili topping with the Thai chili paste gives the kraut zing.
I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Every year, in the nearby town Mt. Angel, Oktoberfest is celebrated. The area was settled by many Swiss and German pioneers.
With 3 kids and a pool, we grill alot of burgers for quick easy dinners! I grow bored with a plain patty, so I try to come up with creative burgers for us to try.
Well my inspiration came to me after travelling to and from Massachusetts in heavy traffic to visit my older son. It was 8 30 pm when we rolled in.

I have a holland lop just over three weeks. I know it's very young but the breeder sells them that young and I have experience raising other animals from a very young age. According to the breeder my bunny, Posey, has been separated from it's mother for 5 days now and eats completely on her own. So far, she's right. I have Posey home and she's eating hay constantly in addition to pellets and drinking water. Her droppings are also very normal and formed. She is also very warm with me and loves to be cuddled.
Everything is going so well, but I just worry it's too good to be true. Is it possible things could just all the sudden go down hill tomorrow? She went on an hour car ride today and obviously it didn't really stress her out. Could she just be a resilient little gal?
Basically, is she in the clear?

MORE time is needed to develop plans which could see funding for services for vulnerable people in Worcestershire slashed by more than half, a senior council member has said.
Worcestershire County Council's Future Lives consultation involves an extensive revamp of care for older people, vulnerable families and homeless youngsters as well as mental health and learning difficulties services and a range of others and proposes cutting the authority's supporting people budget from £15 million a year to £6.5 million.
Earlier this month the council's cabinet member for adult social care Cllr Sheila Blagg was granted delegated powers to determine the outcome of the consultation – part of the council's drive to save 98 million by 2017.
Cllr Blagg said she, along with cabinet member for health and wellbeing Cllr Marcus Hart and member for children and families Cllr Liz Eyre, will ask the cabinet to dedicate an extra £1 million from its adult and social care reserves and £2 million from council tax surpluses towards the project.
"We have listened to all of the many responses received during the consultation and one of the major concerns raised was the fast pace of change so we are asking cabinet to agree to extend this period," she said.
"When we went to consultation, we didn't know that we would be collecting a surplus of £2million worth of council tax payments from district councils and we are asking cabinet if this money can be used to ease the transition for these prevention, early help and other support services.
"We would use this extended period to hold further discussions with partners and providers about what funding they might be able to contribute and how we can get the most out of the investment in the longer term."
Critics of the plans say they will have a serious impact on vulnerable people, including the potential loss of a £630,000 grant to Worcester Community Housing which could lead to the loss of wardens in sheltered accommodation.
Last month chairman of Healthwatch Worcestershire Peter Pinfield wrote to the council's director of adult services and health Dr Richard Harling expressing serious concerns on the plans.
He said delays in making an accessible version of the consultation documents available had disadvantaged people with learning difficulties and that older people may not be able to access online services.
"Consumers are concerned that the focus of the Future Lives programme on reducing investment in preventative service areas appears to fly in the face of current thinking on tackling health and well-being," he wrote.
The plans will next come before Worcestershire County Council's cabinet on Thursday, March 6.

Cytology for technicians (Proceedings)
In the last ten years, exfoliative cytology has been gaining popularity as a diagnostic aid in veterinary practice. Effective use of diagnostic cytology depends upon proper specimen preparation; however, there are far more descriptions of slide interpretation than there are of slide preparation. In this manuscript we therefore emphasize successful techniques for collection of cytologic specimens from a variety of sources. A discussion of smear preparation and staining techniques is also included.
In vivo collection techniques
Cytologic preparations may be made from lesions present in the living animal (in vivo collections) or from masses or lesions which have been excised (in vitro collections). In vivo collections offer several advantages over surgical removal (e.g., significantly lower cost, no general anesthetic risk, etc.) and is recommended whenever feasible. Several different in vivo collection techniques will be described: the majority are variations of fine needle aspiration, aspiration through catheters, or swabbing of superficial lesions.Fine needle aspiration of superficial masses and lesions, lymph nodes, and internal masses
Fine needle aspiration can be used to collect cytologic specimens from virtually any lesion internal or superficial which can be identified and stabilized during the collection procedure. The only equipment required is a small syringe (5-10cc) and a 1.5-inch fine gauge (20-25) needle. The site to be aspirated is clipped, washed and prepared for minor surgery. Sterility of the needle is maintained, but surgical gloves and surgical drapes are not necessary. General anesthesia or tranquilization is required only in fractious animals.
The needle is attached to the syringe and introduced into the lesion to be aspirated. As negative pressure is applied to the syringe, the needle is redirected through the mass several times. Moving the needle through different areas of the lesion before the negative pressure is removed assures that the entire lesion area is sampled. Negative pressure is then released and after release of the negative pressure the needle is withdrawn from the lesion.
If the sample has been properly collected (assuming the lesion is solid rather than fluid-filled), the majority of the sample will be contained in the hub of the needle. The needle is separated from the syringe, and the syringe is filled with air and re-attached to the needle. The material in the needle is forced onto a series of microscope slides and finished preparations are made by placing a clear slide across the aspirated material, allowing the material to spread between the two slides, and then gently drawing the top slide across the surface of the bottom slide. The finished "squash preparations" are allowed to air dry and are then stained with a standard hematologic stain (Wright's, Wright's-Giemsa, Diff-Quick, etc.).
Thoracocentesis and abdominal paracentesis
Thoracocentesis and abdominal paracentesis are modifications of basic fine needle aspiration technique. For abdominal paracentesis an eighteen-gauge 1.5-inch needle and 10-20cc syringes are used; similar equipment is used for thoracocentesis and a three-way value is added.
Thoracocentesis may be done on either the left or right side, generally in the 68th rib space. Local anesthesia is recommended with this procedure so that the animal does not move when the thoracic cavity is entered. Movement pre-disposes to lung laceration. The three-way value is employed so that all of the fluid in the chest may be removed in order to provide therapeutic relief of dyspnea. At least two tubes of fluid are saved: one sterile tube for microbiologic evaluation and an EDTA tube for cytologic evaluation. The EDTA sample is used for the evaluation of physical parameters (total cell counts, total protein, specific gravity) and cytologic preparations. Both direct smears and sediment smears may be prepared. Direct smears are made by taking a drop of fluid; placing it on a microscope slide and making a push smear as is done with peripheral blood. Sediment smears are made by centrifuging the sample to obtain a sediment, decanting the supernatant, and preparing a push smear from a drop of sediment. The prepared smears are allowed to air dry and are then stained with standard hematologic stains.
Abdominal paracentesis is performed with the animal standing. The needle is introduced just anterior and to the right of the umbilicus. Neither local nor general anesthesia is generally required. A three-way value is not needed for abdominal paracentesis; there is no therapeutic benefit to removing all of the fluid from the abdominal cavity. The fluid collected by abdominal paracentesis is handled in the same manner as fluid obtained by thoracocentesis.
A key to successful fluid collection from the body cavities is careful positioning of the bevel of the needle as the cavity is entered and aspiration begun. The bevel of the needle should always be directed outward towards the body wall. This prevents plugging of the needle opening by either omental fat or lung. If initial aspiration yields a dry tap, negative pressure is released, the syringe is rotated a full 360° and aspiration is again attempted.

Parra becoming mainstay in D-backs' outfield
CHICAGO -- When it comes to playing time in the outfield, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson will try to rotate A.J. Pollock, Cody Ross and Jason Kubel between two spots, trying to keep them both rested and sharp at the same time.
When it comes to Gerardo Parra, though, expect to see the outfielder in the lineup nearly every day.
"He just keeps getting better," Gibson said of Parra. "He's got a very quick bat. He's unreal, the enthusiasm he brings, the dialogue that he has, he's just really coming into his own. He's certainly ready for it, he's certainly earned this opportunity. Got to keep him healthy, though."
After starting both this year and last as the team's fourth outfielder, Parra is loathe to come out of the lineup for any reason, so Gibson will have to be proactive about giving him days off.
"If I see 'G' getting tired, I'll get him out of there," Gibson said. "He doesn't want to get out of there. He's already played through some injury, he's already played through some sickness. One day we put a couple of IV bags in him and he went out and played and had a great game for us."

Google: How to Connect with the Digital Latino at the ZMOT
November 7, 2011
Executive Summary
The traditional path to purchase revolved around building a great product and then a great marketing campaign around that product, in order to win at the point of sale, or the "First Moment of Truth (FMOT)." This mental model of marketing includes three steps: stimulus, the FMOT and the Second Moment of Truth (SMOT). However, the Internet has fundamentally changed the way in which consumers decide to buy, and the three-moment mental model is now a four-moment mental model which includes the "Zero Moment of Truth (ZMOT)." ZMOT is the moment when a shopper seeks out research on a product or service using digital media before making a purchase. Mark Lopez, head, U.S. Hispanic audience and pan regional U.S. sales, Google, Inc., discussed ways to better drive impact at the Zero Moment of Truth (ZMOT) for the U.S. Hispanic market.

Thousands of struggling homeowners and first-time homebuyers could lose access to free housing counseling once spending cuts that President Barack Obama describes as "dumb" and "arbitrary" go into effect today.
The budget sequestration will result in 75,000 fewer households receiving counseling related to foreclosure prevention, pre-purchase and other types of housing counseling, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The cuts come at a time when counseling agencies already are overwhelmed by the growing number of people seeking assistance at local housing agencies, counselors say.
"For many smaller agencies around the country that are HUD-approved, the loss of funding would have a tremendous impact and could severely cut back their ability to meet the needs of the public," says Rick Harper, director of housing and senior vice president at the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of San Francisco.
Harper says his agency alone counsels about 2,500 families per month. More than 65 percent of the families are getting foreclosure assistance.
"There are still thousands of families out there struggling, trying to make it through this lingering recession," he says. "If you pull away funding, you are going to pull away resources from those people who need it the most."
Help doesn't go only to homeowners in jeopardy
Counselors also are dealing with an increasing number of first-time homebuyers seeking pre-purchase advice.
"People don't want to make the same mistakes that they've been reading about for all these people who have gone through foreclosure," Harper says. "Before they purchase, they want to make certain that they are prepared so that they don't become a statistic."
Foreclosure and pre-purchase counseling are key elements in the housing and economic recovery, says Marietta Rodriguez, national director of homeownership and lending at NeighborWorks, a network of community development and affordable housing organizations.
"Both kinds of people benefit greatly from working with a nonprofit housing counselor," Rodriguez says. "Taking that accessibility away from them potentially could cause a gap in the marketplace."
Not the first time Congress hits counseling funds
This is not the first time lawmakers cut funding for housing counseling. In 2011, Congress eliminated HUD's grants for housing counseling services. Later, it reinstated $45 million in funding to counseling in 2012. The federal budget for the 2013 fiscal year -- which started in October but has yet to be approved by Congress – calls for $55 million to be allocated to the counseling programs.
With the sequester, most of HUD's housing service programs will be cut by about 8.4 percent, according to estimates in a report prepared in September by the Office of Management and Budget.
How soon will homeowners and potential buyers be affected?
"It could be fairly immediate," Rodriguez says, but it will vary by counseling agency, depending on how their budgets are planned and how much money they have left. Some agencies receive grants and other sources of funding through various partnerships, but others rely mainly on HUD grants to fund counseling programs.
The damage caused by the sequester will continue to grow over time if Congress doesn't consider an alternative to $85 billion in spending cuts concentrated into a seven-month period, says Jason Furman, principal deputy director of the National Economic Council.
"It will keep growing," he says. "It will get worse and worse."

CHAMPAGNE Pol Roger, Brut Réserve, was poured at the official re-opening of Berry Bros & Rudd's new-look warehouse shop in Basingstoke.
Doing the honours of cutting the ribbon was the newly-installed Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane, Councillor Roger Gardiner, who was clearly impressed with what he saw.
The warehouse shop, in Hamilton Close, Houndmills, closed in early May, and has since been transformed in a major revamp.
Cllr Gardiner, who was accompanied by his Mayoress wife Tricia, described the warehouse shop as fantastic.
"I think the work has been done very well," said Cllr Gardiner, impressed with the broader wine selection on offer. There are more than 300 wines and spirits in stock, offered with up to 30 per cent discounts.
Noting the company boasts two Royal Warrants, with more than 300 years of history and eight Masters of Wine, Cllr Gardiner said: "Berry Bros & Rudd has such a good reputation that some people may not think it's for them, but that's not true – it's for everybody – they cater for all tastes and pockets. I'd certainly recommend everybody to come and have a look."
Cllr Gardiner clearly had a good rapport with Berry Bros & Rudd's chairman Simon Berry, who was equally impressed with the new look warehouse shop.
Mr Berry said the space was originally a bottling hall before the area was converted to become the firm's retail outlet in Basingstoke in 1995.
"That was when we had a bin end sale, which was supposed to have been a one-off, but we kept it going and then it grew," explained Mr Berry.
Almost 20 years later, and as part of an ongoing rebranding project, the space has been redesigned by London architects Urban Salon.
"I love the look of it," said Mr Berry, who added: "I love shopping here because you can browse in a way you can't so much in our London store."
The new bright intuitive layout has wine displayed in their original boxes, along with tasting tables, under an avenue of 52 enamel lights going along the length of the store. In addition, there is a fine wine room and a family room where people can relax.
As a nod back to the early beginnings of the warehouse shop, Martin Hudson MW, who is a wine education specialist, hosted a tasting table with a selection of wines from 1995.
Mr Berry said that visiting the warehouse shop should provide customers with a very different wine buying experience compared to going to a supermarket.
He said: "This is a chance to really find out what good fun it is to buy from people who actually know what they are selling.
"In order to buy well from a supermarket, you need to know a huge amount about wine, but in order to buy well from us you really don't need to know anything.
"You can come down here and talk to the people who work here who are all very nice and knowledgeable.
"The excitement about wine is continuing to learn and enjoying something new. It's not about buying very expensive wine – it's about variety."

Former Cal star Alex Morgan scored the second of her two second-half goals in the 85th minute to give the United States a 2-2 tie with France in an exhibition soccer match Thursday in East Hartford, Connecticut.
Making her second appearance in six days for the national women's team after a seventh-month layoff because of a stress fracture in her left ankle, Morgan scored for the first time in more than a year.
She scored the tying goal off a rebound in the 57th minute, beating goalkeeper Sara Bouhaddi.
"I feel like finally I am back and doing what I am supposed to be doing — scoring goals," Morgan said.
The U.S. star has 46 goals in 72 games for the national team.
Morgan passed Julie Foudy (45) for 10th on the all-time goal scoring list.
"I am pleased for her, she's worked very hard to come back," U.S. coach Jill Ellis said of Morgan.
The U.S. will now go into its summer break before it resumes World Cup qualifying in October.
The Sharks will host the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings — the team that ousted San Jose in the NHL playoffs — on Sept. 30 as part of their preseason schedule. Also coming to SAP Center are Phoenix (Sept. 26) and Anaheim (Sept. 27). The Sharks have split-squad games Sept. 23 against Vancouver at both Stockton Arena and Rogers Arena as the preseason kicks off.
The team's final two games are at Phoenix on Oct. 3 and at Anaheim on Oct. 4.
Alisha Valavanis will leave her job as a Cal assistant athletic director to become Chief Operating Officer of the Seattle Storm.

Cute, but not soft
This bedspread is very cute & looks just like picture, but the navy blue patterned fabric is not soft at all. I thought maybe washing it would help, but it didn't. After I washed it, it was wrinkled so bad that I had to iron the part with the football, soccer ball, etc...The flip side of the comforter is soft, but the outside is not. For the price, it's a pretty good deal, but I wouldn't have bought it if I could have touched it in a store.Read More

Beautiful and True to Color
This bedding set is beautiful. The colors are truly as they appear on the picture. My son loves them!

As pictured . . .Would recommend
Bought 2 of these for 6 year old and for future use for will be 2 year old. It is exactly as pictured. The quality is good. I have not washed it as the direction states not to if you have a agitator in washer as I do and that it must have plenty of room in drum. In a nutshell ,Take it to the cleaners. It does come out the bag wrinkled but direction says do not iron. Very hard for me not to but I didn't and wrinkles start to dissolve in a week or so. It seems to be reversible, even though it is not advertised that way, which will be great when guest arrive to make it more neutral for gender as well as age. Its size properly. Would recommend. Just wish I could find the throw pillows pictured.Read More

When entering concentration so as to relax the mind, in order to give strength to discernment in its continuing explorations, you should go ahead and really rest — rest in concentration. Enter the calm. Completely stop all thoughts and explorations in the area of discernment. Let the mind settle in and relax. It doesn't have to think or contrive anything at all related to its work. Let the mind rest comfortably by giving it a single preoccupation. If the mind happens to be extremely engrossed in its investigations so that you can't rein it in, use 'buddho'as a means to drag it in. Make the mind stay with 'buddho, buddho, buddho.'Even though the meditation word 'buddho'may be a mental contrivance, it's a contrivance in a single focal idea. Contriving a single focal idea can cause the mind to settle down.
