Take Comfort In Your Gluten-Free Food
Nourishing recipes for belly and soul
Ever notice how your mood can drive your food choices—soup when you're feeling under the weather, a warm casserole or hearty stew on a chilly night? Often equated with dishes that are creamy, easy to digest and emotionally fulfilling, comfort food is just that, food that feeds the body and the senses. It satisfies and soothes, evoking pleasant sentiments and sometimes even stirring childhood memories. Unquestionably, comfort food epitomizes the belly-brain connection.
These recipes of traditional favorites are guaranteed to fill you with nutritional goodness while they elevate your mood. All are gluten-free and can easily be made dairy-free, too. Enjoy each as a complete balanced meal—meat, vegetables and starch—or go vegetarian by replacing the meat with additional veggies and substituting the beef or chicken broth with vegetable broth.
These cozy dishes will pique the palate and lift the spirit. They're favorites at my house and I suspect they'll become favorites at yours.
Shepherd's Pie
A one-dish meal of lamb and vegetables topped with mashed potatoes and garnished with caramelized shallots, this shepherd's pie takes comfort food to a new level, engaging all the senses. It fills the belly and warms the body. This recipe calls for chicken broth instead of heavy cream, reducing calories but not flavor.
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 pounds ground lamb
-Salt and pepper
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 large carrots, peeled and diced
2 large parsnips, peeled and diced
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons rice flour
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
1� cups gluten-free chicken broth
3 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1� teaspoons dried rosemary
2 teaspoons fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
-Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup frozen peas
Mashed Potatoes
3 large (about 2 pounds) russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large shallots, cut in thin wedges
2 tablespoons butter or dairy-free substitute
⅓ cup gluten-free chicken broth
-Salt and pepper, to taste
1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lamb, a third at a time, and cook until all the pink is gone. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked meat to a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe out the pan to remove excess fat. Repeat until all the meat is cooked. Set lamb aside.
2. Wipe out the pan and add remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Set over medium heat. Add onions, carrots and parsnips and saut� until they begin to soften and brown, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and saut� an additional minute.
3. Return lamb to the pan with vegetables. Sprinkle with rice flour, stirring to coat, and brown slightly. Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chicken broth, rosemary and thyme. Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring until mixture begins to thicken. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Fold in peas.
4. Place mixture in a 9x13-inch baking dish or 2-quart oven-proof casserole pan. Set aside while making potatoes.
5. Preheat oven to 400�F. Wipe out the skillet.
6. To make mashed potatoes, place potato cubes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook about 10 minutes or just until fork tender.
7. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet and saut� shallots until lightly browned. Set aside.
8. Drain potatoes. Stir in butter and add chicken broth. Mash until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste. Fold in half the browned shallots.
9. Spread mashed potatoes evenly over lamb mixture and top with remaining shallots.
10. Place in preheated oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are slightly brown and filling is bubbly. Remove from oven and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Traditional Restaurant Favorite
French Onion Soup
This classic soup is usually off limits for those who dine gluten-free, owing to a little flour that's usually added to the soup and the topping of crusty bread. This make-at-home version is deliciously gluten-free and it can easily be made dairy-free—just replace the cheese with an equal amount of dairy-free alternative.
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or additional olive oil
3 Spanish onions, thinly sliced (about 8 cups)
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
⅓ cup brandy or dry sherry
� teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons rice flour
8 cups gluten-free beef broth
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-Salt and black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
8 thick slices gluten-free French bread or other bread
2 cups grated Gruyere cheese or dairy-free alternative
-Fresh thyme, for garnish
1. In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat olive oil and butter until butter has melted. Add onions and saut� 10 minutes over medium-high heat or until softened and beginning to take on color. Add garlic and sugar and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until onions are golden brown and caramelized, about 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Add brandy, thyme and bay leaf and saut� 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over onions, stirring to blend. Cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add broth, a little at a time. Stir to blend. Add mustard and salt and pepper. Simmer partially covered for 30 minutes.
3. To make croutons, heat olive oil and garlic in a skillet. Add bread slices and saut� on both sides until browned slightly. Remove to a plate.
4. Set oven to broil. Ladle soup into individual heatproof crocks. Top each with toasted bread and then a generous handful of cheese. Set crocks in the oven and broil until cheese is melted and slightly browned. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes before serving.

Consistency Matters
If your soup or stew is too thick for your liking, add some broth to thin it out. To thicken, puree a portion of the ingredients and add this back to the dish; alternatively, create a slurry with equal parts cornstarch (or arrowroot) and broth; stir this mixture into the
boiling liquid.
A Cozy Supper
Pasta e Fagioli
The American term for this hearty Italian stew is pasta fazool. A wholesome, one-pot dish of tomatoes, beans, ground meat and pasta, this is wonderful served with gluten-free French bread and a green salad. Use any short cut of gluten-free pasta. For a vegetarian version, omit pancetta and ground chicken and use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth. Garnish with dairy-free cheese if you're avoiding dairy. This recipe is even better the second day but make the pasta just before serving.
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 ounces pancetta, cubed
1 large onion, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1� pounds ground chicken or turkey
3 teaspoons dried parsley or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Italian herb blend
� teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf
�-� teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 cups gluten-free chicken broth
2 (14.5 ounce) cans petite-cut tomatoes with juice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 (16-ounce) cans red or white kidney beans or combination, rinsed and drained
2 cups dried gluten-free elbow pasta
⅓-� cup grated Parmesan cheese or dairy-free alternative
1. In a large pot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and set over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and cook just until edges begin to brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, onion, celery and garlic to the pot. Saut� over medium heat until vegetables begin to soften but do not let them brown. Add chicken and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and cook until chicken is no longer pink. (Break up pieces with the back of a spoon as it cooks.) Add parsley, Italian herb blend, oregano, bay leaf and red pepper flakes and saut� briefly. Add chicken broth, tomatoes and juice, tomato paste and beans. Simmer covered 10 to 15 minutes.
3. In a separate pot, cook pasta in salted water until chewy but not soft. Drain. Add to stew if serving right away and serve with cheese on the side. Alternatively, ladle stew into individual bowls, adding a portion of cooked pasta and some cheese to each serving.
Each serving contains 415 calories, 17g total fat, 5g saturated fat, 0g trans fat, 83mg cholesterol, 729mg sodium, 40g carbohydrate, 10g fiber, 7g sugars, 28g protein, 18Est GL.
TIP Corn pasta is more durable than rice pasta but both get soggy if allowed to sit in warm liquid. Add pasta and cheese to this stew immediately before serving.
Satisfying Meal
Sweet Potato and Roasted Corn Chowder
Chowder is a hearty, wholesome soup with chunky ingredients suspended in a milk-based broth. Here, vegetable puree and coconut milk create delicious creaminess without dairy.
2–3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 ounces hickory-smoked bacon, chopped
1 large leek, chopped
3 medium carrots, peeled, roughly chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, cored, roughly chopped
3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
5 cloves garlic, chopped
� teaspoon chipotle chili powder
4–6 cups gluten-free chicken broth
-Salt and pepper, to taste
1 (13.6 ounce) can light coconut milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
2� cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen and thawed
-Salt and pepper, to taste
� cup finely chopped red pepper
1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a very large Dutch oven or stockpot. Add bacon and saut� until it begins to brown. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and reserve.
2. Add remaining oil and saut� leeks, carrots and bell pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add sweet potatoes, garlic and chipotle. Cook and stir about 5 minutes.
3. Add enough broth to cover vegetables. Check seasoning and add salt and pepper, to taste. Add cooked bacon.
4. Simmer, partly covered, over low heat, stirring often, until sweet potatoes are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out 3 to 4 cups of vegetables and set aside.
5. Use an immersion blender to puree remaining soup. Alternatively, ladle some soup into a blender and puree in batches. Add back chunks of vegetables. Stir in coconut milk. Return soup to low heat. Check seasoning and add more salt and pepper, if desired. If chowder is thicker than you like, add additional chicken broth until you reach desired consistency.
6. To make garnish, heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and saut� until kernels are lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Stir corn kernels into chowder and serve hot, topped with finely chopped red pepper.

Tasty Comfort
- Comfort foods are meant to go down easily and not challenge the taste buds with a high profile of spices. These recipes are tasty in their own right but, if desired, here's how you can step up the flavor.
- Spicy sausage. Cook and drain off grease. Then stir the meat into the pot.
- Red pepper flakes or chipotle chili powder. Sprinkle over the soup, stirring to blend.
- Reduce the liquid. Simmer soups and stews uncovered for a period of time to reduce the liquid and intensify the flavor.
Flavorful and Filling
Pizza Pinwheels
Pizza is everyone's go-to food, ideal for casual gatherings of family and friends, particularly sports fans when there's a big game. A spin on traditional pizza, this recipe puts the fixings inside the dough for easy handling. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping. This recipe is egg-free and can be dairy-free with a cheese substitute. Leftovers can be reheated in a 350�F oven for a few minutes.
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided, more for brushing dough
6 ounces baby spinach
1 medium onion, chopped
3 teaspoons minced garlic
� pound spicy sausage or ground beef
1 (12-ounce) jar good quality gluten-free pizza sauce, divided
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or dairy-free alternative
� cup grated Parmesan cheese or dairy-free alternative
3 cups high-protein flour blend of choice
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon salt
5 teaspoons active dry yeast
1⅓ cups warm water (105�-110�F)
2 tablespoons olive oil, more for brushing dough
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1. To make the filling, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach and saut� until wilted. Remove from pan and set aside.
2. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and saut� onion and garlic over medium-high heat until golden and soft, about 5 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and crumble sausage into the pan. Saut� until meat is no longer pink, breaking up the pieces with the back of the spoon. Drain off grease. Add back spinach. Then set aside to cool while making the dough.
3. Place an oven rack in the lowest position in the oven. Preheat oven to 400�F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil paper and set aside.
4. To make dough, combine high-protein blend, xanthan gum and salt in the bowl of a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and blend well. Add yeast and blend.
5. In a small bowl, combine warm water, oil, honey and cider vinegar. Add to dry ingredients. Beat at medium-high speed 3 to 5 minutes or until dough thickens.
6. To assemble, set the dough between 2 sheets of well-oiled plastic wrap and press it into a 10x16-inch rectangle. Remove the top sheet of plastic. Spread � cup pizza sauce evenly over the top of the crust, leaving a 1-inch border around all sides. Sprinkle sausage mixture evenly over sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese or dairy-free alternatives.
7. Starting on the 16-inch side, gently roll the dough up tightly, using the bottom layer of plastic wrap to help. The roll should be about 3 to 4 inches thick and 16 inches long. Lift roll in the plastic wrap and transfer it to prepared cookie sheet. Remove the plastic wrap as you unroll the dough onto the baking sheet. Brush dough with olive oil.
8. Place in preheated oven and bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Let stand 5 minutes after baking. Cut into slices. Serve with remaining pizza sauce.

From 3 Finalists in Aquarium's Redesign, Swoops, Swirls and Great Water Views
By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE
Published: October 6, 2006
City officials yesterday unveiled three finalists in the competition to design a new exterior for the New York Aquarium, marking progress toward what would be its first significant renovation since it opened in Coney Island in 1957.
The three designs -- by the firms WRT; Smith-Miller & Hawkinson Architects; and West 8 in collaboration with Weisz & Yoes Architecture -- were winnowed from about 25 submitted since the city's Economic Development Corporation and the Wildlife Conservation Society announced the competition in June.
The society owns and operates the aquarium, which is on city parkland.
''We also think the aquarium can be iconic,'' said Joshua J. Sirefman, interim president of the development corporation. ''We want to change it into a 21st-century institution.''
Originally housed in Lower Manhattan from 1896 to 1941, and since 1957 tucked into a 14-acre walled campus along Surf Avenue, the Aquarium for Wildlife Conservation gets about 750,000 visitors a year, mostly city residents.
But even fans have long complained that it is too isolated from the surrounding neighborhood, not to mention the ocean a few yards away.
''It's built like a fortress. It's surrounded by walls, and the only entrance is through the parking lot,'' said Charles Denson, the author of ''Coney Island: Lost and Found.'' ''And it's below the level of the Boardwalk, so when you're in the aquarium you can't actually see the water.''
The new design, according to the competition guidelines, must be ''visually porous, engaging and inviting.''
The Smith-Miller and Hawkinson design replaces the wall between the aquarium and the Boardwalk with an undulating wave fence that opens to the Boardwalk at several points.
The design by West 8 and Weisz & Yoes, by contrast, hides some parking lots under manmade sand dunes, cut through with looping pathways.
''It's very important that people going to the aquarium have the experience of going to the beachfront again,'' said Jerry van Eyck of West 8.
All of the designs are environmentally friendly, using phosphorescent paints or solar-powered lights to blend in with Coney Island's neon cacophony.
The final design must also create a ''beacon for Coney Island,'' according to the guidelines.
To that end, one design incorporates a giant, glowing jellyfish resting on its tendrils.
The WRT design features an undulating enclosure, an interpretation of the nearby Cyclone roller coaster's swoops and swirls.
It resembles an enormous whale, as though Moby Dick had lunged ashore and swallowed the aquarium whole.
Any of the models unveiled last night would make the aquarium much harder to miss.
City officials described a redesigned and more prominent aquarium as a key component of the broader Coney Island redevelopment plans that have gestated, mostly on paper, for several years.
With a new hotel, high-end retail stores, and an indoor water park, city officials and developers hope to convert Coney Island from a seasonal beach community to a year-round tourist destination.
''The aquarium is a critical anchor for Coney Island, especially if it's that much more physically integrated into Coney Island,'' Mr. Sirefman said. ''People who come to a Cyclones game or to the amusements should be going to the aquarium.''
City development officials, in consultation with community leaders and the conservation society, expect to choose a final design this fall.
''This is the oldest aquarium in the country,'' said Paul Boyle, its director. ''The question is, how do we create a statement that the aquarium is here, and at the same time, support the expansion for major new features?''
''This will help us grow into our future,'' Mr. Boyle said.

Samsung recently partnered with Zee Lifestyle and Jun Escario to introduce Cebu to the Samsung Galaxy S III and the media and our blogger friends were fortunate enough to witness it all.
Karla Henry, Jun Escario, Matt Straight, Dan Ong
Melo Esguerra, Rere Dakay
Fashion Night Out was held at the chic Scrapyard bar at the House of Cebu, where models wearing dresses by Jun Escario invited attendees to experience the Galaxy S III's intuitive features. And as a special gesture for Cebu, Samsung offered the S III at a majorly discounted price especially for the event, with the first three purchases getting a free printer. Also going home with a printer were two special guests who were Samsung users.

"This is our way of saying thank you to our Cebuano friendsfor continuously supporting Samsung products. We are also happy to bring the Galaxy S III studio to Ayala Cebu to allow our consumers to experience the phone, and we're excited to share with them the things that make this phone different from other smartphones currently out in the market," says Odette Velarde from Samsung's Corporate Marketing.
Ien Rivera, Denise Barrameda, Odette Velarde and Cris Alcaraz
The Samsung Galaxy S III is the most intuitive phone currently in the market, taking into account the usual smartphone user behavior and creating features that allow the phone to integrate seamlessly into its user's routine.

With a 4.8 inch HD Super AMOLED screen, the Galaxy S III displays images in true color, matching with its 8 megapixel camera. It puts new meaning to the term "smart phone" with intelligent technology that adjusts to its users: the Smart Stay function dims the screen automatically when the user isn't looking at the screen; Pop-up Play allows you to watch a video while another application is open; and the S Beam makes file sharing as easy as putting Galaxy S III's back-to-back.

My son is starting a new company and wants to have his logo put on several shirts - to be honest he can't afford the prices at a commercial shop. So, if you are experienced enough to do it I would love to hear from you and what you would charge..it would involve digitizing the logo.

Preston broke through the 40-point barrier with this victory over Wolves which surely switches the focus up rather than down the table.
Safety first has always been the motto this season, the main aim being to make sure they stay up.
With 42 points put on the board by mid-February, with another 15 matches to go, that target is now surely within touching distance.
In seasons gone by, the high-water mark has been 50 to 53 points.
The way the division has shaped this season, it seems likely that a few less points than normal will keep teams safe from the drop.
A revised target for North End now is to see how much further they can push up the Championship table.
The weekend's success at Molinuex pushed them into the top half for the first time this campaign – they last reached such dizzy heights five years ago to the day.
A push for the play-offs is probably pushing things too far, even though sixth-placed Derby County are only nine points away.
To climb higher in that top-half order is not beyond them though, a challenge the Lilywhites currently look in the mood to meet.
Since the Boxing Day wobble at Huddersfield, they have taken 17 points from eight games.
PNE have responded to the solitary defeat in that sequence by taking seven points from nine on offer.
Despite losing only four league games out of the last 21 – a run stretching back to October – Simon Grayson's men do not seem to get the credit from the outside that they deserve.
Some fans of opposing clubs see the dropping of points against North End as reason to jump and scream like tearful toddlers.
Derby followers were howling after being held to a goalless draw at the start of the month.
On Saturday, the Wolves faithful were crying into their pints of Banks's Beer and wondering how on earth their team had lost on home soil to Preston.
To put it bluntly, North End were better than them.
In fact they were a great deal better, the 2-1 scoreline perhaps not telling the story of Preston's control.
Had the visitors widened the margin of their win by another goal, Wolves could not have had grounds for complaint.
Victory came during the weekend when North End honoured Sir Tom Finney.
The game fell a day before the second anniversary of his passing at the age of 91.
In the seventh minute, Preston's 1,504 travelling fans stood and clapped in memory of a great man.
Some of the Wolves fans joined in too, in recognition of Sir Tom's talents.
The applause gave way to several choruses of the 'Viva Tom Finney' chant from the away section which was spread out along the bottom tier of the Steve Bull Stand.
As we remembered Sir Tom, perhaps it was fitting that a winger stood out as Preston's best player.
Adam Reach ran Wolves ragged all afternoon and got his name on the scoresheet.
He was given a free role off Joe Garner, the on-loan Middlesbrough man playing all the way across the front line.
Reach had done likewise in a 3-5-1-1 system at Derby, only this time he did it much better and was a constant threat.
It was not a one-man show though, Alan Browne and Paul Gallagher – scorer of PNE's opener – excelling in midfield.
Further back, the defence were solid, bar one slip which let in Wolves for their goal.
That strike from sub Joe Mason might have halved the deficit but ultimately had no bearing on the destiny of the three points.
Mason found the net with 23 minutes left, the fact that Wolves hardly threatened the North End goal after that, an indication of the degree of comfort the visitors saw the game out in.
Molineux is proving to be a happy hunting ground for Preston, this win the fifth in 10 visits there since 2000 – a sequence which also includes two draws.
From the word go this time, Grayson's men looked up for the task in hand.
While the week before against Huddersfield, they had been hesitant and off-key for long spells, Preston were anything but on Saturday.
Inside two minutes, Reach had shown a clean pair of heels to Matt Doherty down North End's right wing and put in a cross for Garner at the near post, the striker taking one touch too many in trying to get a shot off and getting crowded out.
Such a burst of pace from Reach set the tone, and he did likewise down the other side to set up Gallagher, a chance the midfielder lifted too high from outside the box.
Gallagher showed much more accuracy in the 17th minute when giving Preston the lead.
Taking possession in a deep position, Gallagher drove towards the Wolves box and slipped a pass to Garner, who had his back to goal.
Garner turned and lifted a pass over the home defence, GALLAGHER continuing his run to meet it.
He reached the ball as it bounced in the box, lobbing a right-foot shot over keeper Carl Ikeme as he came out.
The ball bounced across goal and into the far corner, Reach cleverly blocking off Doherty to make sure he would not get back to clear off the line.
Wolves' one response of the first half was a free-kick from substitute Nathan Byrne, the former Swindon player's effort from 25 yards hitting the outside of the post.
Another Reach pass found Garner on the side of the box but his low shot bobbled wide of the far post.
The combination of Reach and Garner were at it again early in the second half, a cross from Reach travelling beyond the far post which Garner met with a header but was unable to direct it on target from a tight angle.
Preston only had to wait until the 53rd minute to net their second goal, Calum Woods driving down the right and whipping over a cross from the byline, which Ikeme challenged Browne for in the air.
The goalkeeper's punch fell to REACH on the side of the six-yard box, who drilled a first-time finish into the far bottom corner.
Wolves briefly came into the game with a 67th-minute goal, Conor Coady's hopeful ball misjudged by Tom Clarke which let in MASON.
The recent £3m buy from Cardiff took the ball down in the box, sidestepped Anders Lindegaard, before slotting a shot past the covering Woods on the line.
That was the cue for John Welsh's arrival from the bench in place of Gallagher, who was struggling with his on-going hernia injury.
The presence of Welsh was just what was needed, the sound of one tackle he put in probably shattering windows in a two-mile radius.
The expected onslaught from Wolves never arrived, North End seeing out a fifth away win without incident.

The U.S. dollar fell last Thursday, as investors received mixed signals as to when the U.S. Federal Reserve may start to curtail the incentive program. The protocols of June meeting of the Fed published on Wednesday showed the contradictions among Fed officials about the timing reducing stimulus, but did not provide clarity on which investors had hoped.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke lowered expectations for an early interest rate increase, saying that "in the near future, "extra-soft monetary policy" is still needed ". The U.S. currency has been growing in recent weeks after Bernanke signaled that the Fed may start reducing bond-buying program which exerted pressure on the U.S. dollar in September.
The dollar fell and stock and bond markets are rising again around the world as Ben Bernanke and other Fed officials have not presented plans for a narrowing of bond purchases on June 19.
In the report of the Chairman, then as now, was the fact that Fed may begin a gradual reduction of its assets and purchases, the broad thrust of loose monetary policy - and particularly record low interest rates - will remain for a long time.

Governor Steve Beshear and Ohio Governor John Kasich, along with other state and local officials, broke ground this morning on a long-awaited Ohio River bridge replacement linking the communities of Ironton, Ohio and Russell, Kentucky.
"Few things promote regional growth, development and cooperation like safe, modern highways and bridges," said Gov. Beshear. "Ironton, Ohio, and Russell, Ky., are separated by a great river. But thanks to a bridge, they have been joined as neighbors for generations. The new Ironton-Russell bridge will preserve those social, cultural and economic connections."
The Ironton-Russell Bridge replacement project calls for replacing the existing bridge that connects the two communities via their downtown by relocating it between Second and Jefferson streets in downtown Ironton and the U.S. 23 viaduct south of Russell. The project, led by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) also includes demolition of the existing bridge upon completion of the new structure.
"Transportation is the lifeblood of our economy, and it is essential that we make investments in a system that will only make us stronger," said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. "So while the Ironton-Russell Bridge has served the communities well for the past 90 years, it's time to replace it with a modern, updated structure to carry goods and people over the great Ohio River."
Representatives and officials from Ohio and Kentucky, including ODOT Director Wray, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Mike Hancock, Mayor Rich Blankenship of Ironton and Mayor William Hopkins of Russell met the governors at Ironton's Depot Square for a ceremonial groundbreaking to commemorate the project's start and pay tribute to the existing bridge.
While today's ceremonial groundbreaking marked the start of the multi-year project, construction began in early March, with contractors clearing the banks of both state shores, drilling shafts for the Kentucky abutment and laying foundations for piers in Ohio.
ODOT awarded a contract in January to Brayman Construction Corporation for $81 million. Brayman Construction is headquartered in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania. The project has a four-year window for total completion, with an interim completion in the fall of 2015.

When Brazilian girls come of age (I think that's about nine depending on your state) the family of the good looking ones pack her a bean cake and four Brazilian coins and put her on the next ship to anywhere knowing that she'll have Kal-El like advantages when she arrives in normal person looking lands. These girls are just everywhere. If you can afford to buy her more bean cakes, you can have one yourself. Basketball center turned DJ, Rony Seikaly has had a string of hot model girlfriends, Martha Graeff being the latest.

Hi All,

All previous back ups work fine however certain games i.e my sims agent/planet 51 will only display a blank black screen or green after messing with config settings.?
All media is burnt with either img burn/nero at lowest speed on verbs -?
Do i need to do something else other than scrubbing the iso before burn?
thanks in advance or if posted in wrong area can you point out the correct threads
What is it with you people?thanks for help or then again lack of it.
34 minutes and no response and you have a bit of a pull. Do you think it's acceptable to come on a free forum and expect priority immediate support?
I'm getting sick of people like you.

Great shot. I guess I need to move up to the brighter 50-200 from the 70-300 if I want to get above 1/200th. I rented a 50-200 for a week and decided I did not really want to carry it around all the time. Still the extra speed is nice on occasion. I took it to Road Atlanta for Petit LeMans. Close enough to the cars there that I didn't miss the extra mm on the telephoto.
What you need to do is carry around a four pound Bigma for a while, then the 50-200 will seem small

Thanks, Rich. You're right about the first. I'll try to remove the rings in front of the neck.
I have had this lens for about a month, but due to the bad weather, I haven't had the time to test it. Yesterday the weather cleared up and I had a bit more time, so I took some photos. So far, I like the lens. As long as I shoot from a tripod, the results are quite sharp. It's a bit tough to focus it, since it is fixed at f/8 and is as dark as f/11 (T/11) due to the mirror mechanism.
Really like your shot, Rich. Great colours and it's a very dynamic picture.

It's snowing. Again. I live in an area where the arrival of half a snowflake results in the absolute cessation of all business and public transport and hospital respirators, so school is closed. For the 90th fucking time. At this rate, my children will learn to read sometime around 2085.

For a long time now, the Hum Tum actress Rani Mukerji is being asked questions about her marriage. Her alleged relationship with film-maker Aditya Chopra has only added to the questions. Now, her cousin Kajol is the latest one to be bitten by the curiosity bug.
During the rapid fire round on Karan Johar's popular talk show Koffee With Karan, the filmmaker asked Kajol to answer – "If you were to ask the following people one thing what would you ask?"
When he took Rani's name, she said: "When are you getting married, even I would like to know." Quick witted that the My Name Is Khan film-maker is, he immediately asked Kajol what she would like to ask Aditya Chopra.
To that, she said: "Same question."
So when is Rani Mukerrji's wedding???

LORAIN — A 70-year-old man's heart problems may have caused him to wreck his vehicle on the Henderson Bridge in Lorain on Friday, but it was smoke inhalation from the ensuing car fire that killed the man, county Coroner Paul Matus said Saturday.
James Kniceley, of Lorain, was pronounced dead at the scene of the late-afternoon crash.
Witnesses told police that Kniceley was slumped at the wheel of his maroon Honda sedan when it struck a guardrail on the bridge's peak and continued north down the slope of the bridge, careening wildly and knocking over orange construction barrels in the middle of the road.
Kniceley's vehicle then crossed the center of the road and collided head-on with an oncoming pickup before catching fire, police said.
Matus said Kniceley suffered a heart problem that may have contributed to him losing control of the vehicle, but smoke inhalation is what killed him.
While the pickup driver was able to remove himself from the vehicle before emergency crews arrived, Kniceley was still in his vehicle. A bystander tried to snuff the flames with a fire extinguisher but was unsuccessful, police said.
Lorain firefighters responded to the accident, but their arrival was hampered by heavy traffic caused by construction work on the bridge. Kniceley's car was completely engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived, firefighters said.

Eagerly awaiting the first month's electric bill
Office location: Bel Air, MD 21014
Whole process from start to finish was very enjoyable; the company either met or exceeded my expectations across the whole process. They were very informative about the whole process from the beginning and were able to break down each individual part along the way. One of my biggest hurdles as a consumer was the fact that my house runs purely on electricity (no natural gas or other sources), so I had to have a larger system installed than typical. In addition, the roof on the house was very close to the end of it's life; which actually turned out well considering the company can also replace roofs AND I became eligible to receive a tax break on a new roof specifically because it was being replaced so solar panels could be installed!I will say the honesty given to me throughout the whole process was very refreshing, as they were able to outline not only the pros of a solar network but also potential cons and how they limit any negative experiences that could develop with the process. So far I've been keeping track of the net electric usage of the house and it's very good so far!... read more

We interviewed multiple providers after already having done some extensive research. I strongly recommend being prepared and understanding the pros and cons of installing a solar system and being sure it is the right investment for you. If it is, then Jim and Celestial Solar are top notch.Even after determining that solar is the right fit, there are decisions to be made such as micro inverters versus power optimizers. Some companies install one or the other. Jim can help guide you through all of this, but again you should also do your own research. Jim took the time to listen to us and understand what we wanted and built on that providing us with an efficient, aesthetically pleasing system. We went with all black panels and the installation crew did an amazing job in being sure that none of the wiring was visible. They were able to run the cables through our insulated attic! Jim replies to emails and is easy to get a hold of.We have now received two electric bills and we are saving money. In fact, our last bill (which reflected a full month of solar) was $20! A twenty dollar electric bill!... read more

I had my solar system installed in early June and started it on June 21st and wanted to see how my system performed before I wrote my review. I cannot be more pleased with every aspect of the sale, installation and performance of my system. The sales consultant, Paul Miller, was able at answer all my questions and did not pressure my at all to purchase the system. The installation crew did a fantastic job and it took only two days to install the 36 panels and hook-up the inverter to my home's electric system. It took about two weeks before the utility came out to install the net meter. The SolarGaines office staff submitted all the paperwork necessary for the meter and all the state and county rebate programs. I have already received my $1000 check from the state. As for the performance, the system provided all the electricity I needed for my house all summer. In addition I have put about 150kWh back on to the grid during that period of time. I highly recommend using SolarGaines to install your solar system.... read more
My husband and I are very happy with the solar panels installed by NOVA Solar. We had panels installed on our boathouse roof to provide power to our home, something we should have done way sooner as our bill has been significantly reduced. They were professional, informative, timely, and communicated clearly throughout the process. We highly recommend NOVA Solar without hesitation.... read more
How much do solar panels cost in your area
21st Century Power Solutions, LLC
Services: Commercial Solar Electric, Residential Solar Electric
21st Century Power Solutions was referred to me by Retrofit Baltimore, a nonprofit that promotes energy efficiency and maintains a stable of carefully screened contractors who have agreed to offer solar systems at negotiated prices to homeowners referred by them. Konrad Kutter, a 21st Century Power Solutions Project Manager / Design Engineer responded rapidly. He scheduled a technician to perform a solar evaluation of my roof the following week, and a meeting to go over the results and present a proposal later the same week.From my first contact with Konrad, it was clear that I was dealing with a young man who knows solar well and is committed to excellent customer service. He has university degrees in electrical and civil engineering, and was easy to work with. He offered me two system layouts and three types of panels to pick from, gave me advice about the condition of the roof, which though currently acceptable for the solar system, was showing its age and would need to be replaced in several years, and suggested that I consider trimming branches of the largest trees to increase the roof's exposure to the sun. I accepted all of his recommendations. 21st CPS began installing the solar system two days after the roof was replaced. Most of the job was done in two days. It was finished early on the third day. The electric company replaced my one-way meter with a net meter two weeks later (mid-January), after which I turned on the system. I'm writing this in February and am pleased that when the sun is shining even on partly cloudy days, the solar system is generating more power than my house needs. As a result, not only is the system meeting my daytime need for electricity on those days, it will also further reduce my electric bill when I am paid for my excess solar-generated electricity.21st CPS worked closely with me from start to finish. They met my schedule requirements for the project, worked quickly and carefully, and ensured that aesthetics was built into the design by routing conduit through the attic, not on the surface of the roof. They also promise to be there if I have problems down the road. I am entirely satisfied with their design expertise, installation quality, customer service, and follow up. I highly recommend 21st Century Power Solutions.... read more

Genuinely outstanding 5 star service. We had a 20 panel Sunpower system installed this summer by Prospect Solar. We compared 3 solar panel installers & realized Prospect Solar was the best value for the money. Their Sunpower residential panels are the best in the industry. Plus having panels, inverters, control box, fuse box supplied & warranted by a single source (Sunpower) for 25 years made the decision easy. The install was clean with zero home damage. But the best part is now our Novec electric bill averages less than $20/month. So after Novec distro & admin fees we pay $4 per month for a 5 bedroom 6000+ sq/ft home. Prospect Solar has exceeded our expectations in every way, we highly recommend them as your Solar installer.... read more

I have to say up front that this is an expensive undertaking. All the more so, in my case, because I had the roof replaced as well. There are government incentives which help, but I wish there were more. That said, I have had a zero electric bill since the panels were installed three months ago. Once the decision to install solar was made (that was the hard bit) the rest was incredibly easy. From the sales team to the electricians to the panel installers I was impressed by the team's knowledge, efficiency, intelligence and good manners. I highly recommend them. I have absolutely no regrets for having taken this step.... read more

Karthikeyan's focus still on F1
- News:
Kolles and HRT part ways
- Drivers:
- Narain Karthikeyan
- Teams:
Narain Karthikeyan is looking to secure a future in Formula One and is not looking to other series for 2012.
Karthikeyan started 2011 with HRT but lost his seat to the Red Bull-backed Daniel Ricciardo at the British Grand Prix. He returned for a one-off appearance at the inaugural Indian Grand Prix, but with Colin Kolles having left HRT as the team moves towards a more Spanish makeup Karthikeyan's future is uncertain. Despite that, he says he is using the success of the Indian GP to secure new sponsors and is looking to secure a more long-term future in the sport.
"The race in Delhi has helped drivers like me connect to corporate India and we are now looking at a few options and trying to work out something although nothing seems finalised," Karthikeyan told The Times of India. "I'm not directly talking with other teams, as my management will handle that. I am focusing on other things for now."
With Kolles leaving HRT Karthikeyan said it was actually a good move for the team to attempt to create a new identity, even thought it could harm his chances of a seat.
"With a small team he did a good job. But now the team has a different direction and that's a good thing."

Massive injection for state payroll
Government ministers summoned to a meeting with Cosatu at Luthuli House this week agreed to implement the "occupation-specific dispensation" (OSD) on public service pay stalled since mid-2008.
The implications for the state payroll are unclear, but the undertaking will require a massive infusion of funds from the treasury.
The meeting, attended by Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi, Correctional Services Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula and Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga, was brokered by ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe.
The Cosatu delegation, led by its president Sdumo Dlamini, told the ministers that the implementation of the OSD, agreed after the 2007 public service strike, was essential to avert further crippling industrial action.
Government representatives also revealed that a key problem which had derailed the OSD, particularly in health, was the omission of 30 000 nurses from the tally of health workers presented to treasury. As a result, money earmarked for doctors was used to pay nurses.
Sources said that at the meeting the ministers gave assurances that money is available to implement the OSD. But the parties first needed to resolve their different readings of the agreement.
Cosatu blamed former public service minister Geraldine Fraser-Moleketi for the acrimonious relations between the state and its employees. Workers were threatening to down tools if pay rises were inadequate.
"We have to break with the legacy of the past, which is in many ways responsible for the problems today," Dlamini told the Mail & Guardian.
The OSD was tabled by Fraser-Moleketi in a bid to settle the month-long 2007 strike. It enabled her to offer a 7.5% across-the-board increase instead of the 12% demanded by the unions. The gap would be closed by the OSD, a complex arrangement intended to remunerate employees according to their skills, experience and competency.
The catch was that some employees would receive hefty increases, while others remained at the same level. But the details were never hammered out in sectoral chambers, as proposed by the agreement.
An insider involved in the 2007 negotiations said "the unions misunderstood how much money would go into the pockets of their members".
ANC spokesperson Jessie Duarte said Mantashe had called the government ministers to the meeting in their capacity as ANC deployees because "the ANC needed to understand the issues from both sides".
According to Dlamini, finance minister Pravin Gordhan did not attend, but forwarded a report saying that money for the implementation of the OSD is available.
In the 2007 medium-term budget speech former finance minister Trevor Manuel committed R15-billion to meet the higher cost of the post-strike salary agreement, with R2-billion going to educators and social workers and R4.6-billion to health workers.
The Luthuli House meeting decided to refer the matter back to the public service coordinating bargaining chamber, where a decision is expected before the end of June. It was agreed that the 2007 agreement was struck before "people were given time to internalise the document", said Dlamini.
A source involved in the negotiations said: "It was a time of very volatile and confrontational engagements. The specifics were not finalised."
What state workers want
The education department and teachers' unions signed the occupation-specific dispensation (OSD) in April last year after 10 months of tough negotiations.
Educators' pay was to be customised for the profession instead of following the general public service wage structure.
The immediate benefit was an across-the-board increase of at least 4% which, unions say, provincial departments have paid.
But agreement was not reached on other aspects of the OSD, such as a department proposal to link teacher performance and pay with external moderation of their work and the performance of learners.
The unions also want other areas clarified, such as career paths and how performance will be measured.
Unions have warned against unilateral implementation.—Thabo Mohlala
Among doctors' demands is the implementation of the OSD, which includes clear career paths, pay progression and a once-off amount as compensation for the failure to introduce the OSD on July 1 last year.
They also want vacant posts to be filled and better working conditions.
In May doctors were outraged, and staged protests, when the government offered an increase of between 0.28% and 2% in the OSD bargaining forum.
Doctors wanted a 50% to 70% increase based on an independent survey showing they were paid less than other state workers.—Nosimilo Ndlovu
Correctional services
Demands by correctional services officials include a 12% pay rise for all correctional officers, supposedly in effect under the OSD from July 1 last year. They are also demanding a notch increase for every three years completed, in recognition of previous experience, and the incorporation of overtime pay in officials' salaries, after the department phased out Saturdays and Sundays as overtime days.
Another demand is an increase in the danger allowance from R200 to R500 for officials working with prisoners. Their demands also include incentives for skilled personnel.—Matuma Letsoalo

Singing my song. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. New International Version (©1984) Ephesians 4:15 The physical eyes don't always represent the truth. Our human feelings are gifts to promote deeper inquiry. Stand on the grounds in what you know to be truth as the bible says 'Blessed are those who have faith who can not see' with patience for all the miracles bursting in each moment to unfold. Have faith in love. Stand in and on what you know. Own it. Live from that space. Revel in its Power as you identify with the realm of love in wholeness, heir to a world reborn. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love. Ephesians 1:4 The awareness of oneness. The truth of all things transforms the mortal, human plain in every situation.
May your authentic expression blaze forth with each breath you take reminding you to fiercely answer the call of your being. To connect to source. To live fully in the light of the truth reflecting the beauty that lies waiting alertly and brilliantly for you to sing your song, dance your dance and express yourself. Your way. Look at everything and you will see there is love.

I have some basic questions about war files. Let's assume there's an existing webapp, called "foo", and the war file is called foo.war:
- When I put foo.war into the webapps, and restart tomcat, what happens to the existing contents of webapps/foo/ ?
- Is it possible to have partial files within foo.war, if I wanted to, for example, only deploy a patch?
- When deploying a war file, do I have to remove the existing directory under webapps, or will it just overwrite the existing files with what's in the war? (related to #1)
- Can you point me to any good web references that talks more about war files, and web app deployments?

war files and webapp deployment[ Go to top ]
If you're using Tomcat, you have to create a new and complete foo.war file, delete the previous foo directory, and restart Tomcat for your changes to take effect:
- Posted by: Freddy Daoud

- in response to Justin Kennedy
Copy the web application archive file into directory $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/. When Tomcat is started, it will automatically expand the web application archive file into its unpacked form, and execute the application that way. NOTE - If you use this approach, and wish to update your application later, you must both replace the web application archive file AND delete the expanded directory that Tomcat created, and then restart Tomcat, in order to reflect your changes.
There are probably other deployment options that allow you to deploy only patches (and not have to restart Tomcat). You'll have to try them out and see what happens.

I couldn't find much out about this tea except that its all Ceylon and from the UK. I found it at T.J. Maxx marked down to $2, and thats for 50 bags (4 cents each). Its an ok breakfast tea and the taste is typically Ceylon, no bells or whistles that I could find. The tea is only slightly bitter and does have some astringency. I think any steep over 2 minutes could make this tea undrinkable for me. I have no intention of drinking another cup of this tea, I'm going to take it to my wife's sister who makes iced tea from Walmart brand tea.

Is this undocumented behavior, or am I missing something obvious?
I am having a very strange issue with one of my Linux hosts.
The primary symptom is that the host responds on two IPs, when ifconfig clearly shows that eth0 is the only interface up (besides the loopback), and only has one IP address.
The arp table on each host that connects to the machine in question shows the same MAC address, regardless of which IP you connect to.
Pinging either IP address from the machine results in responses of such a small amount of time (0.034 ms) that I have no doubt that packets are not leaving the interface.
Running ipconfig -a indicates that eth1 is assigned the alternate IP address that the machine is responding to, however all indications are that the line is down and upon physical examination of the machine, I have verified that there is only one ethernet cable plugged in, and it is going into eth0
At this point, I'm not really sure how to proceed. Obviously I can remove the alternate IP address from eth1, but I'm still at a loss as to why the machine
A) responds positively to an IP address assigned to a down interface
B) sends that request through another, up interface
C) responds with the MAC address of the up interface
I've checked, and there are no iptables rules, there are no specific routing instructions, and neither interface shows up in the arp table of the host in question. All of these are proper conditions for this host.
Any comments or suggestions?
