Fluffy dinner rolls made from scratch can be made a day ahead of time. These yeasted dinner rolls are baked to golden brown perfection and have the best buttery flavor. Perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas or Sunday night dinner.
- 4oz (1/2 Cup) Water
- 3 Tablespoons Bread Flour
- 4oz (1/2 Cup) Cold Milk
- 1 Large Egg
- 250 Grams (2 Cups) Bread Flour
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Rapid Rise Yeast
- 1 Tablespoons + 1 Teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter softened and cut into 4 pieces
- 1-2 Tablespoons Land O Lakes® Soft Squeeze™ Spread for brushing on top of the rolls
- Extra Land O Lakes® Soft Squeeze™ Spread for spreading inside rolls
- Place the water and flour in a small bowl and set the bowl on top of a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens to a smooth pudding-like texture.*
- In the bowl of a stand mixer add the flour paste and milk then whisk to combine. Next whisk in the egg, then add the flour and yeast. Attach the dough hook and mix on low to medium speed just until combined- 1 to 2 minutes. Let the dough stand for 15 minutes.
- Once the dough has rested for 15 minutes add the granulated sugar and salt then mix for five minutes on low speed. After five minutes with the mixer still on low add the softened butter, 1 piece at a time. Continue mixing for five more minutes scraping down the side of the bowl and the dough hook as needed. Spray a large bowl with vegetable oil and set aside.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured work surface and knead the dough to form a ball. Place the dough in the prepared bowl with the seam side facing down. Spray the top of the dough with a bit of vegetable oil, then place a tea towel or plastic wrap on top of the bowl. Set it aside to rise for roughly an hour, until the dough has doubled in size.**
- Once the dough has doubled in size transfer the dough to the flowered work surface. Grease a 9-inch pan and set aside.
- Use your hands to pat and stretch the dough to form an 8" x 9" rectangle. With the 8" side facing you cut the dough in half lengthwise, then cut each half in half again to create four long strips. Then cut the dough the opposite way into thirds to create 12 equal pieces of dough.
- Take one piece of dough and stretch the dough to form an 8 "x 2" strip. Roll the dough up into a cylinder shape and place the dough in the prepared pan, with the seam side of the dough face down. Repeat with all pieces of dough and cover the pan with plastic wrap or a tea towel and let rise again until doubled 35 to 55 minutes.
- When the dough is ready to bake preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C. Bake the rolls on the lowest rack in the oven for 22 to 28 minutes, or until a deep golden brown. Let the bread cool on a wire rack for five minutes then place a tablespoon or two of Land O Lakes® Soft Squeeze™ Spread on top and use a pastry brush to brush it all over the tops of the rolls. Serve with Land O Lakes® Soft Squeeze™ Spread.
- *You can also microwave whisking every 20 to 30 seconds.
- ** I turn my oven on to 200°F/93°C and then turn it off immediately then place the dough inside the oven to rise.
- Rolls can be reheated in a 350°F/ 180°C oven. Wrap the rolls in foil and bake for 10 minutes.

A Brief Review of Iran's Revenge for Suleimani & Strengthening Resistance Front lines
Undoubtedly, the model of reaction of the Islamic Republic of Iran as the central core of the frontline of the Islamic Resistance will be crucial in order to continue and strengthen the path of resistance frontline. Taking vengeance will bring about new achievements and strengthen the front line of Islamic resistance, and it will need to be further strengthened and deeply evaluated.
Since the victory of the Islamic revolution, the Islamic Republic of Iran has always made many efforts to establish and strengthen the front line of Islamic resistance inside and outside its geographical boundaries around the world, one of the hallmarks of which is the struggle for peace and achievement. The goal is to liberate the Palestinian state and return all Palestinians from around the world to their original home.
The news of the martyrdom of Major General Qassim Suleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Abu Mehdi al-Mohandes, the deputy of the Hashal al-Sha'abi of Iraq, and a number of other supporters of these two resistance commanders quickly garnered widespread reflection around the world.
Therefore, my analysis of the future of political developments in the region is that the Islamic Republic of Iran's reaction and action model as the central core of the Islamic Resistance Front is undoubtedly of various dimensions, and is crucial to continuing the path and strengthening the resistance line. It will be instrumental, and certainly the Islamic Republic of Iran's efforts to retaliate will bring about new achievements and strengthen the front line of Islamic resistance, and should be strengthened, while continuing and complementing these actions, their strengths and weaknesses will also be assessed. Accurate and deeper.
Always one of the main factors that have led to the formation, growth and export of Islamic resistance thought over the years, the role and position of the guardianship of the Islamic jurisprudence has undoubtedly played a crucial role in making difficult and decisive decisions. It is more vital, and this has made the Islamic Revolution of Iran significantly different from other revolutions.
The Supreme Leader, in response to the US terrorist operations and other regional mercenaries, specified the correct address in modeling hard revenge, and It has prevented the political divide and disrupted the existing feedback and capacities on the way in and out of Iran and, on the other hand, has given hope and cohesion to the resistance line, a vindictive revenge that will undoubtedly serve the Islamic nation, system and nation. It will certainly strengthen the front line of Islamic resistance inside and outside the borders.
This action reaffirmed the status of Velayat-e Faqih in the sacred system of the Islamic Republic of Iran for all the nations of the world and showed how much guidance and guidance the Velayat-e Faqih had to pass through dangerous crossings in the face of severe crises in an Islamic society. It can be decisive and decisive, and certainly in the future of political developments and the completion of hard revenge, leadership measures will further strengthen the frontline of Islamic resistance and the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq, Syria and elsewhere in the region, and the path to the destruction of the Zionist regime will be even easier.
The high level of public opinion and support of the Islamic Ummah inside and outside of Iran for rising uprising around the world in retaliation for the Islamic Republic of Iran's further action that consolidated and strengthened the Islamic resistance front.
The nation's colorful presence at the glorious funeral of the glorious martyrs of Islam, held with divine grace in various parts of the world and in many foreign media, reported in the news that after the funeral of Imam Khomeini, this most unprecedented It was the funniest and largest chase in the world for such a large crowd to take to the streets and again with the beloved and great commander of the faithful resistance, paying tribute to their thinking.
The Iranian people have proved by their presence that there is great national convergence and cohesion between different strata across the country, and this enormous social capital, which is a very strong backing for the country, will enable the regime to make big decisions and take tough steps in the country. The future of political developments in the region and the world will be very open, and with all its wings it will take the necessary steps to complete the difficult revenge that is of paramount importance.
The State Department's active engagement in the field of resistance diplomacy and the subject of vigorous retaliation is another important act of the Islamic Republic of Iran that can strengthen the frontline of the Islamic resistance in the international arena. Therefore, the diplomacy system must take the capacity process so that the completion of hard revenge is not confined to the international protocols between political games under the pretext of deterrence, because it must never be forgotten that the Iranian enemy and the resistance operate outside the international protocols. Undoubtedly, if the bloody revenge of the Quds Force commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who spent his entire blessed life trying to stabilize the security of the country and was martyred along the same path, would not give a definite and proper response to Americans and its regional mercenaries It is against national security.
Under no circumstances should the State Department abandon this issue and forget that it should pursue legal action at the same time as other political consultations and condemn all its capacities in the international community. While assassinating the world's public opinion on this issue, this assassination will continually open all political and diplomatic avenues to strengthen the resistance line to continue Iran and its allies' efforts to rise up and complete vigorous revenge.
The role of the media in shaping and directing events and in influencing the achievement of the goals of a thought and discourse is crucial. Therefore, trusted media coverage and professional management in retaliation was another measure of the Islamic Republic of Iran that would strengthen the frontline of Islamic resistance.
Creating powerful and professional media at home and especially overseas as the resistance line arms is one of the most serious and practical needs that is strongly felt and needed to strengthen the front line of Islamic resistance around the world, in this area as well. Put revolutionary, broad and professional strategies on the agenda of Iran and our allies.
The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have always declared their readiness to defend the country and confront the excesses of enemies since the victory of the revolution, and now is the time to do so, as well as the capacity to defend the world's oppressed by Iranian military forces as the nucleus. Apply central to the Islamic resistance front.
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards' missile attack on US positions at the base of al-Assad in al-Anbar province in western Iraq and near the Syrian border with a 5-point shotgun was a military action designed and operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran. Doubtless, a new and functional step was taken to strengthen the Islamic resistance front.
Iran's military action against the Americans was such that not only did the US military not intercept the Iranian missiles, they did not even fire a shotgun.
Iran's military action against the United States has shown that Iran is capable of targeting US forces and bases in the region in terms of knowledge and equipment, and has also taken American drones out of control with the electronic warfare, making Iran vulnerable. It shows the Americans and Iran's military capability.
Iran's Attack on US Position in Iraq The first official attack on a US base in Iraq since World War II is another aspect of the importance and effectiveness of Martyr Suleimani's operations that, in addition to consolidating Iran's defense and military capabilities, It demonstrates the credibility and credibility of Tehran's warnings that could have an infinite impact on Washington's political calculations, which means the US military will not be spared from possible attacks by Iran as the central core of the Islamic Resistance Front.
The world is witnessing a series of real Iran actions that complement and complement each other. Measures that have reinvigorated and matured the Islamic resistance front and will certainly defeat the US, the Zionist regime and their other mercenaries in the West Asian region.
So one of the biggest realities of the field is that Iran will no longer be merely a regional player and is becoming a global power.

Tuesday, Toni Preckwinkle, one of the two women who -- according to the latest poll -- would beat Rahm Emanuel in a race for mayor of Chicago, announced she wasn't running.
Monday, the other one, Emanuel's enemy Karen Lewis, head of the Chicago Teachers Union, announced she was considering running. As evidence of how seriously she's considering the opportunity, Lewis offered-up a spokesperson to talk about the formation of an exploratory committee and a strategy for building neighborhood support for a candidacy.
Lost in the news reports I've seen so far, including national analyses of the situation, is the fact that the two most viable candidates for defeating the mayor of the nation's third largest city are women. Have we reached the point when this fact is a ho-hum?
No, we haven't. At a time when so many Americans need so much from their government, American women who care are finding it really tough to win executive office. For instance, Chicago has elected only one woman mayor and that was 35 years ago. New York and Los Angeles have never elected one, though a strong woman candidate ran in each last year. One could argue that's the luck of the (political) draw; or that Christine Quinn in New York and Wendy Greuel in Los Angeles made some dumb political mistakes and, therefore, deserved to lose. (On Quinn, here is my analysis.)
But the fact remains that women, girls and women-headed families (the majority in our nation's largest cities) lose greatly when caring women aren't elected. That's because -- along with executive political office -- comes a bully pulpit unlike any legislator's, the opportunity to take executive actions without legislative concurrence (Barack Obama these days, anyone?), and the opportunity to press for important legislation from a uniquely powerful position. And, since it's women politicians who typically promote policies beneficial to women, those men-only executive suites can offer cold comfort.
In Chicago, we have an embarrassment of riches of women with executive experience. Each could be a mayor who puts equality and opportunity for women foremost. Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer could run a good race. Probably, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan could beat Mayor Emanuel anytime she gets tired of state government.
Consider these proof points about these Chicago women who care:
- In Madigan's and Gainer's cases, each has addressed issues important to the security of Chicago's women-headed families: in the case of Madigan, sex crimes and bankers' misdeeds; in the case of Gainer, abandoned homes and services for juvenile offenders.
Pundits will say my analysis is immaterial since none of these women, except for Karen Lewis, is known to be considering a run against Mayor Emanuel. I disagree. This review buttresses the truth that Chicago can be better than it is today. Chicago can be -- for everyone -- a City that makes it clear -- in every action it takes -- that it welcomes, cherishes and delivers for everyone.
I've never met Karen Lewis, but I did observe her one day. That encounter gave me confidence that compassion and humility are central to her view of city life. In the event, perhaps we'd see these qualities in candidate dialogues with Mayor Emanuel.
This encounter was at the funeral of Addie Wyatt, a heroine to many women of Lewis's, Preckwinkle's and my generation. (Lisa and Bridget know all about her, too.) Addie was one of the first African-American leaders of the modern women's movement, as well as an important leader of the civil rights movement. She is deserving of the greatest props. Lewis gave her those.
The Vernon Park Church of God in Christ sanctuary was overflowing, forcing those of us who arrived late to sit in the church basement and watch the closed circuit TV version of the funeral service. Lewis was one of us in the basement.
Unlike so many other notables who, even if arriving late, would demand a primo seat in the sanctuary -- since, after all, what's the purpose of a VIP-politician's funeral if not to see and be seen -- Lewis descended to the basement; sat on a folding chair in a corner; and watched the proceedings silently and without show.
Today, Addie's South Side neighborhood is one Chicagoans fear to tread. Even her church of sixty years is leaving for safer (suburban) pastures. Whether it's numbers about violence, or jobs, or teacher layoffs, or about costly improvements to downtown while neighborhoods are rife with abandoned buildings, Addie's neighborhood and the rest of outlying Chicago is in desperate need of repair.
So, Chicago girlfriends: While the politicians do their thing, let's do ours. Let's show the guys the light at the end of the tunnel, i.e., the solutions of women who care, wherever those women sit. Let's help caring women politicians realize their dreams, so often also ours. Let's run the most important campaign of all: the one that is for, with and by women. No matter who is mayor.

A Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), more commonly known as a reverse mortgage, is a powerful financial tool that many senior homeowners use to supplement their retirement income. A reverse mortgage allows qualified seniors to access a portion of their home equity as usable funds. If you are looking for ways to leverage your home equity you may be wondering, how do you qualify for a reverse mortgage?
The basic borrower qualification requirements are:
The basic property qualification requirements are:
Keep in mind that these are the general guidelines. There may still be other factors that can affect your eligibility.
Frequently Asked Questions About Eligibility And Requirements
I am over 62, but my spouse is not. We both want to stay on title. Can we still qualify?
While the youngest borrower must be 62, a non-borrowing spouse does not. Also, if you pass away, an "eligible" non-borrowing spouse can continue to live in the home as long as they meet the eligibility requirements.1
I own my home outright; but, I've read that reverse mortgages will eliminate mortgage payments. I don't have a mortgage payment. Would I still be able to qualify?
Senior homeowners without mortgage payments can still qualify for a reverse mortgage. Since none of the proceeds will go toward paying off a current lien against the property, the available funds are yours to use as you choose.2 A reverse mortgage may be able to help increase your cash flow, extend the life of your retirement savings, or allow you to set up a line of credit to use as an emergency fund.
I am struggling to make my existing mortgage payments. If I qualify for a reverse mortgage, will I have a second mortgage payment?
The reverse mortgage will replace your existing forward mortgage.3 There are no required monthly mortgage payments with a reverse mortgage. As long as you live in the home and continue to meet the loan obligations, the loan does not become due. 4 However, it is important to remember that you must continue to pay property taxes and homeowners insurance and maintain the home in compliance with FHA guidelines to keep the loan in good standing.
If you think you might qualify for a reverse mortgage and are wondering how much you may be eligible for, fill out the calculator above or call 1.800.976.6211 to speak with a licensed loan advisor.
Important Disclosures:
1 A spouse must meet the following requirements to be considered eligible: 1) Be the spouse of the reverse mortgage borrower at the time of loan closing and remain the spouse of the borrower for the duration of the borrower's lifetime. 2) Be properly disclosed to the lender at origination and specifically named as a Non-Borrowing Spouse in the loan documents. 3) Occupy, and continue to occupy, the property securing the reverse mortgage as the principal residence.
2 The funds available to the borrower may be restricted for the first 12 months after loan closing, due to HECM reverse mortgage requirements. In addition, the borrower may need to set aside additional funds from the loan proceeds to pay for taxes and insurance. This disbursement option is only available for a fixed rate loan.
3 Your current mortgage(s) and any other existing liens against the property, must be paid off at or before closing.
4 You must live in the home as your primary residence, continue to pay required property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintain the home according to FHA requirements. Failure to meet these requirements can trigger a loan default that may result in foreclosure.

Setting up brochure holders can give a serious boost to your print marketing. These point of purchase items can be set up in many positions inside and outside the shop or workplace and are relatively easy to use. Many product suppliers tend to place many types of brochure holders and displays, each serving a unique purpose to it. The key to having the right kind of display like a pro is to follow a few basic tips which are mentioned here. It is also necessary to understand how important brochure holders and displays are to a business.
Compose the right content for your target audience:
This is the most important and crucial part of a brochure making. Any other steps taken will make people show interest in your display. But it is what is inside the brochure that pulls people into your business and makes them interested in your products and services. In addition to your eye-catching aesthetics and promotional messages you can easily engage your audience. Once the right brochure falls into the right hands, it is only a matter of time before you get a knock on the door.
Selecting the right type of brochure holder:
Once you know the right type of content you are going to put into your brochure, the next step is to choose the right material and style for your brochure. Be it a small, engaging and convenient business card or large, embossed card format, selecting the right design to print your content into is an important step in brochure marketing.
Identifying the right place for the brochure holder:
Once you identify the strategic place where you can place your brochure holder, you are ready to go. For this, you need to choose a highly trafficked area where there are no restrictions for anybody to enter and go through your display. You need to use well-placed sign holders so that it will draw attention and highlight your display.
Keep your promotions running throughout the day:
People travel throughout the day, irrespective of day and night. It is a wise choice to keep your brochures on display 24*7 using an outdoor brochure holder which keeps your display items safe and secure from natural elements and fit for reading by possible customers. Many types of outdoor brochure holders and displays are available that are rugged and weatherproof making the holders easily handle the weather and at the same time promote your marketing making you feel good about your downtime also.

HEADQUARTERS, Richmond, Va., April 30, 1862.
General JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON,
Commanding,&c., Yorktown, Va.:
GENERAL: Your letter of the 27th, reporting the condition of affairs on the Peninsula, has been received.
The preparation of bateaux by the enemy indicates, I think, an attack on Gloucester Point, in conjunction with his general attack upon your lines. The presence of the Virginia in York River would disconcert that part of his plan as well as the ascent of York River. I have conversed with the Secretary of the Navy, who thinks the Virginia should repair to Yorktown, and that it might be accomplished at night. Should you, after bearing from Flag-Officer Tatnall, determine upon this measure, could you arrange a signal to call the steamer to you? Should you not be able to designate the precise time? Coal will have to be prepared for her at Yorktown. Do you wish any sent? I trust you may be able to retain command of York River, but we must make every preparation for a distance, which may occur, and I will write to General Huger to prepare him for the contingency apprehended.
Operations for obstructing the channel of the James River at a point 8 miles below the city have been in progress ever since my arrival. I regret to state it is not completed, and the works has been much retarded by freshest and the want of means of transportation, all of the latter being in requisition for troops and provisions for your army.
The quartermaster reports that the bridges across the Chickahominy in this vicinity are repaired, except one, which will be finished to-morrow. Bottom's, Long, and Forge Bridges below required much work. Workmen are now engaged on them, and they are directed to use every exertion to complete them.
Most respectfully, your obedient servant,
HEADQUARTERS, Richmond, Va., April 30, 1862.
Major General B. HUGER,
Commanding Department of Norfolk, Va.:
GENERAL: The movements of the enemy near Elizabeth City do not seem to indicate a real attack, and is probably intended to distract attention from other points, or to watch that entrance into the sound, by which they seem to apprehend the introduction of our gunboats. It will be necessary for your scouts to be vigilant and your troops prepared.
The subject of General Johnston's letter is of a more serious nature. If he is obliged to retire from the Peninsula and thus liberate the enemy's gunboats,&c., his attention will naturally be turned to Norfolk. His possession of James River would render the evacuation of Norfolk in time necessary. Its possibility as well as practicability had better therefore be considered now, in order that it be executed at the most opportune moment. I need hardly suggest to you that the troops be put in as movable condition as possible; that all surplus stores,&c., be sent to a proper place of safety, and that without evacuating any place that you consider important, what is not deemed essential for its defense be withdrawn. Your knowledge of what would be required in

Bill Simmons' NFL Betting Theory: Does Cold Weather Impact Playoff Over/Unders?
David Butler II-USA TODAY Sports. Pictured: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady
- Bill Simmons has an NFL betting theory: Cold weather impacts scoring and playoff over/unders.
- Using our Bet Labs software, we tested Simmons' theory to determine if his hunch is correct.
Stop me if you've heard this one before … Bill Simmons has an NFL betting theory. On the latest episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast, "The Sports Guy" and the guru of gambling, Cousin Sal, discussed the cold weather expected for Sunday's AFC Championship game (6:40 p.m. ET, CBS).
Cousin Sal: "The weather means nothing, the points will come. I spent an hour and half looking for articles on this, how cold weather affects points. It really doesn't, in some cases there are more points scored in the cold."
Simmons: "So, this is an old wives' tale, the weather does not affect the points. This sounds like a good challenge for our guy at The Action Network, John Ewing. If it's under 20 degrees, I want to know how that affects the point total of playoff games."
Challenge accepted.
Using our Bet Labs database, here is how NFL overs have performed based on the average temperature in all games since 2003:

Human activity has increased the direct warming effect of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere by 50 percent above pre-industrial levels during the past 25 years, according to NOAA's 10th Annual Greenhouse Gas Index . In 2015, the global average CO₂ concentration reached 399 parts per million, increasing by a record amount of almost 3 ppm. From the end of the Ice Age to the beginning of the industrial era, atmospheric carbon dioxide remained remarkably stable at 278 ppm.

Some 350 scientists are gathering in Stockholm from 17 to 20 May under the auspices of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) to discuss the challenges of downscaling global climate models to generate regional climate data for decision-making. The conference will focus on advancing the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX), which is a global framework for coordinating the regional downscaling of climate scenarios. "We will use this CORDEX conference to explore some very challenging questions about regional climate," said David Carlson, director of the WCRP, which...

The previously strong 2015-16 El Niño is now weakening rapidly. However it is still likely to influence climate patterns in some regions until mid-year.

text: In the last post, we began a discussion of the need for leaders to "get" harassment, that is to say, understand allegations of harassment should be taken seriously. The allegation may not have merit, fine. An effective investigation will help clarify the organization's expectations, help educate employees and help mitigate the risk should litigation occur. The allegation may be inconvenient, embarrassing or come from an ineffective employee yet have merit. In either case, where human beings are involved whether formally educated professionals, blue collar non-exempt employees, highly paid executives or minimum wage hospitality workers, we seem to love to mess with other people. And, though we enjoy pestering others, we do not enjoy them pestering us. What I think is harmless fun, which you should allow I consider harassment coming my way. We love our double standards don't we? Here are several additional considerations regarding the topic for leaders to conclude our discussion – for now.

Post-traumatic cystic bone lesion
Post-traumatic cystic bone lesions, also known as fracture cysts, are benign, transient post-fracture cysts, which are relatively uncommon and usually appear about one-to-two months after traumatic fracture.
On this page:
They are rare but may be under recognized, as monitoring after fracture often is only clinically. They have most often been reported in children of growing age. The most common reported site is the distal radius 1-3.
Clinical presentation
Though mostly asymptomatic in nature, patients with these transient lesions can present with moderate soft swelling 1.
Characteristics of these lesions are:
- non-expansile cyst of <1 cm in diameter
- may be multiple
- close proximity to former fracture site
Typically encountered at about a month after initial fracture, they have been reported to occur as late as 18 months after the initial trauma 1.
There is ongoing debate whether these transient lesions represent intramedullary fat inclusions cysts (most accepted theory) or resorption cysts of excessive periosteal reaction caused by subperiosteal hematoma or intraosseous hemorrhage 1,3.
Radiographic appearance
Plain radiograph
Typical appearances are that of a subcentimeter oval or round lucency without expansivity, peripheral condensation or periosteal reaction and close proximity to the site of former fracture.
Treatment and prognosis
As all hitherto reported lesions resolved spontaneously, no treatment is needed.
Differential diagnosis
Encountering a cyst-like lesion close to a healing fracture (probably even greenstick fracture) can make the diagnosis straightforward. More challenging diagnostic scenarios, however, can comprise lack of former studies (or unawareness of their existence, unavailability at other institutions, etc), incomplete clinical information or a long period between initial fracture and lesion on actual imaging studies.
In those cases and in general differential diagnostic considerations may include:
- unicameral bone cyst: usually expansile
- non-ossifying fibroma (fibroxanthoma): larger
- transient cyst-like cortical lesions
- osteomyelitis: usually symptomatic, abnormal blood samples

NJSFDA's Manager of the Day Program
The NJSFDA provides members and consumers with assistance through the Manager of the Day program, which links individuals with questions to association senior staff members. The Manager of the Day is available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 800.734.3712 or by e-mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com. The NJSFDA does NOT provide legal advice, but does offer information on funeral service regulations and law.
For Students
All mortuary students must complete an internship prior to becoming licensed in New Jersey. This "practical training period" cannot exceed three years.
Students have two options for how they choose to register as an intern:
1.) Register after successfully completing two or three years of academic instruction at an institution approved by the Commission on Higher Education.
2.) Register while concurrently completing their education. There are specific requirements that must be met in order to utilize this option, such as carrying eight credits per academic term and maintaining a minimum grade point average of 2.0.
To receive an application for intern registration, a student must have their preceptor submit a written request to the State Board of Mortuary Science. Upon application receipt, the intern and preceptor must certify that the information is valid, and return the application to the state board. (A preceptor must hold an active New Jersey license for at least two years and have a case volume of at least 25 cases in the previous calendar year.)
A completed intern registration application will include:
Upon acceptance, the board will issue an Intern Identification Card. The intern must carry this card on their person at all times during the course of their training.
During their internship, or practical training period, all interns are to be available for funerals, embalming, removals and other training instruction.
Each intern is required to:
A monthly report must be submitted to the board outlining the embalmings, arrangements and funerals conducted for that month. The intern and preceptor both must sign the report. Reports must be furnished for each month until the intern becomes licensed.
For more information on becoming an intern, contact that State Board of Mortuary Science of New Jersey.

Learning to drive a car can be a stressful experience. When I was in high school I took driving lessons from a certified instructor named Mr. Neeble, a stern old man with the relentless cadence of a film noir mobster. Imagine already being nervous about sitting behind the wheel, then as you're trying your damnedest to stay in your lane and stop at all of the proper signals, you have to listen to a constant deluge of mantras like "Hands at 10 and 2!," "Check you mirrors!," "Eyes on the road!," and my favorite "Don't be a tailgater bumperchaser!" I left each session in a shaking state of full-body tension, but somehow I passed the course. Mr. Neeble may have put me through the ringer, but my driving did improve.
I learned to drive in my parents' car, but some drivers education programs employ vehicles with an extra steering wheel and pedals for the passenger-side instructor. The logic behind this being that the instructor can override the student's driver-side controls at any time as a safety measure. The passenger-side controls provide some piece of mind for both the driver and the instructor since the instructor can correct minor errors on the part of the student without risking any broken laws or bones.
The stakes in the off-road car racing video game DiRT 3 are considerably lower. Weaving suped-up machines at top speed through winding, narrow passes on paths of mud and gravel during a rainstorm in the game is considerably trickier than merging onto the highway in real life, but mistakes don't result in expensive repairs or bodily harm. As a simulation game, DiRT 3 presents players with an opportunity to compete in realistic off-road competitions of a professional caliber, without the danger and costly equipment of real driving.
Even with such a promising premise, I often felt like I had to fight the DiRT 3 for control, as if Mr. Neeble had become so frustrated by my incompetence that he just took over the game from a passenger-side wheel. Though fidelity-reducing driver assists like automatic braking and cornering stability are totally optional, the steep learning curve of the cars' handling models pushes you toward these training wheels. Elsewhere, my predestined progress through the game's single-player DiRT Tour campaign often felt more like a string of sponsored ad spots than a story of rising through the ranks.
Here's how it all goes down. After selecting your vehicle and the race in which you want to compete, you're treated to a hefty load time of almost 30 seconds. The loading screen is comprised of slow tracking shots of your logo-emblazoned car. These pans are designed to make the vehicle look impressive from dynamic angles, but I found it difficult to focus on anything beside the arresting corporate decals. While it's true that real rally vehicles are covered in sponsored icons, half-minute close-ups before every race came across as a pre-loaded advertizing scheme. Oh well, I didn't get this game for the loading screens anyway.
Next comes the actual race, which if you've never played a DiRT game before and have the assists turned off, you will not win. In fact you'll be lucky to finish better than last place. DiRT 3 prides itself on its simulated car handling (supporting an array of peripheral wheels), which requires high attentiveness to the angles, surfaces and inclines of turns and mastery of environmentally responsive steering. In short, it's pretty hard for a newcomer to keep the car on the road, facing the right direction. Rather than retrying the same track over and over (if you actually finish the race, a retry also means sitting through another load screen), I was more driven to actually make progress and attempt new tracks where I might have better luck. I switched on a couple assists and successfully soldered forward. Mr. Neeble would probably have been pretty disappointed.
So, let's say you're won a couple events. In most racing games you accumulate an overflowing garage of cars from your in-game winnings. While there are plenty of autos in DiRT 3, you never really own them. When you win races in DiRT 3, you earn points and those points go toward unlocking predetermined sponsorship offers from various racing teams. This gives you access to vehicles with gaudy logo treatments. Most of the cars in a given class seem to have about equal horsepower, making aesthetics the key variance. It's too bad you'll need to squint to see distinctions between many of the cars underneath their corporate-sponsored shells. Additionally, the most recent team unlocked will always award the most bonus points for using it, which is how the game passively invites you to give each of their sponsors time in the spotlight. The "endgame" vehicles are not insane supercars, they're just big-time advertiser deals from DC Shoes and Monster Energy for car models already accessible.
The result of all this ad noise combined with toggling on all of the assists is that the DiRT Tour just about drives itself, stopping only to let you choose your next sponsorship experience. "That rocked! Upload that footage to YouTube," the disembodied voice of your unseen bro pal beckons post-race. DiRT 3 pushes you to share video footage more than any other single mechanic. You don't have to be content merely sifting through the game's myriad sponsorships, because with a little effort, you can be an advertiser too. You know, for that driving sim you like with all the ads in it.
It's a bummer that I felt this way about the game for most of the campaign's length because there's a phenomenal driving game underneath all of the sponsored clutter, contextually authentic as it may be. After I finished the campaign, I switched off most of the assists with the intention of bettering my driving skills. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I'd improved considerably since my initial failed attempts and continue to become more entrenched in the simulation style of which DiRT 3 is capable. That's right, I'm still coming back to DiRT 3; it's a less claustrophobic experience once you complete and break away from the campaign's narrative.
I should mention that during the DiRT Tour there was one consistent bright spot: gymkhana. For the uninitiated, gymkhana events focus on performing tricks (donuts, jumps, drifts, etc.) instead of racing, and they take place in areas full of daredevil-inspiring obstacles instead of linear tracks. At some point you unlock the open-ended DC Shoes (natch) Battersea compound which has no timer or score missions, just Achievement-style objectives that you can choose to engage or leave in the background. Not only is it an absolute blast to fling your car over steel girders and under semi-truck trailers in Battersea, there's a freedom and a playfulness to gymkhana that is just flat-out missing from simulation racing. There may not be enough to the gymkhana events to justify an entire game around them, but they serve as great complement to the unforgiving rigor of the rest of DiRT 3's driving. And yeah, Mr. Neeble would probably hate gymkhana, which makes it all the more appealing.
There are two layers to the DiRT 3 experience. The top layer is a thin, beautiful sheen; it keeps up appearances and pays the bills through corporate partnerships. Players can casually remain on DiRT 3's top layer, and they'll likely have a decent enough time. The bottom layer houses the deep simulation, and is where DiRT 3 really gets its legs. The problem is that the power relationship between these two layers is imbalanced in favor of the weaker, top-level experience. Also an issue is how there's no clear path for players to make the transition from top to bottom. During the campaign, DiRT 3 smothers you with attention, but once you complete the Tour, you're thrown out the door in the middle of the desert. The game makes you earn your freedom and tasks you with finding your own purpose for continuing to play it.
DiRT 3's learning curve mimicked my own driver's education experience more than I would have liked, but in some ways, the contrast of knowing that I'd once again bested a Mr. Neeble-esque gauntlet, makes the thrill of unassisted driving all the more resonant.

Steinke, Aron Nels The Super Crazy Cat Dance 40 pgs. Blue Apple Books, 2010. PICTURE BOOK. $10.99. Cats to share and cats to spare. Cats are everywhere! All about cats, this book features cartoon illustrations with bubble text. The book really didn't have anything to do with crazy cats dancing, and I am not a huge fan of the illustrations. However, the rhyming sing-song quality of the story made it fun to read and kids would love the bubble text so it might be a good try for reluctant readers. EL-OPTIONAL. Whitney, Library-Teacher.

P1: I did my presentation today for the corporate fitness company and, thankfully, it went really well. None of the lawyers at this lawfirm showed up, of course, but all their assistants did, so I had a full room. The were engaged and asked lots of questions and gave me excellent assessments on the assessment forms, so I can't ask for more than that. But I'm pretty tired now...probably the adrenaline drop that follows an anxiety-provoking event, and also may have something to do with the fact that I cycled there and back (about 30 minutes each way) with a 10 lb weight in my knapsack. B., who runs the company thought I should bring it along so I could get audience members to demonstrate certain things using a real weight. Fortunately, the next time I give this seminar, I believe it's outside the city so I'll have to take the car. In that case, maybe I'll bring a 15 lb weight instead.
P2: Following her exciting trip to Canada's Wonderland on Sunday, Big A has been...difficult, to say the least. The mornings have been tough this week and yesterday she had a major tantrum from the moment we left daycare until about 7pm last night (so about 90 minutes long!). She claimed afterwards that it was triggered by a situation at daycare earlier when none of the other kids would play with her, and her best friend G., was not there. I have a hard time believing this since she has never had problems like that before and she was happily playing with the other kids when I came to get her. She also told us she got nothing but bread and water for lunch...until Adam called her bluff and said he knew that was not possible. She then admitted that the daycare had also served meatballs, veggies, fruit, cookies and milk.
Little A has been delightful lately with the exception of her eating. She is eating enough, that's not the problem. The problem is the throwing. Regardless of whether she is sitting in her booster chair, high chair, standing or walking with her food. As soon as she doesn't want it anymore she whips it across the room. She made abstract art on the walls of the kitchen yesterday with her yogurt, this morning she threw handfuls of banana almond-butter porridge all over the kitchen, she throws cheese, fruit and basically whatever she is eating and is done with. In fact, if she sees food sitting anywhere she can reach it, even if she wasn't eating it to begin with, she will throw it. Mashing is another favorite activity of hers. She loves squeezing bananas and other soft foods into a paste before she throws them. Yesterday she chewed up some apple, then spit out the pieces on to the floor and then picked them up and threw them! To say Adam and I are getting frustrated is an understatement. I also worry she's going to get expelled from daycare when she starts in the fall because of this behaviour. It's really driving us nuts and I'm getting sick of cleaning peanut butter, banana, cheese and fruit smears off of every surface of the house.
F1: Here is a great recipe to make with your kids. It's easy, super healthy and the kids love them. I let Big A help me fill the molds and she was over the moon.
Strawberry Banana Popsicles
12-18 popsicle molds and sticks (depends on how big they are)
1 pint hulled organic strawberries
1 ripe banana
1 tbls lemon juice
Throw fruit and lemon juice in blender and puree until smooth. Fill popsicle molds and freeze for a few hours. Turn upside down and run molds under hot water to pull out popsicles.
F2: Exercise of the Week: Reverse Crunch (for abdominals)

Strength and Empowerment with COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD, is a group of diseases that progressively makes breathing difficult. The most common symptoms can include shortness of breath, wheezing and excessive mucus production. COPD is incurable, which sounds incredibly scary; however, it can be managed with the help of medication, abstaining from cigarette smoke, possible oxygen use and leading a healthy, happy life style of diet and exercise.
We understand receiving a COPD diagnosis can be stressful, and while everyone copes differently, the emotions experienced with a diagnosis are often similar among patients. A few of the most common initial and lingering emotions include panic, depression and anxiety.
Depression is prevalent among 40 percent of patients and anxiety is reported in 33 percent of COPD patients. It can be a vicious cycle – COPD disease progression leads to less movement, which leads to shortness of breath, this can spark fear/anxiety, therefore, worsening your shortness of breath. It is frightening to lose your breath and the ability to do things that you were once able to do. Do not feel ashamed or discouraged, you are not alone.
There are several ways to help combat the negative emotions that may accompany COPD.
- You can let your doctor know exactly how you feel. Whether it is too little or too much sleep, eating difficulties, fatigue, excessive worry and any feeling of self-harm, being honest with your doctor. It is often the first and most powerful step to being both mentally and physically stronger.
- Group involvement of any kind. Whether it's family or friends, this will help encourage coping strategies. Surrounding yourself with supportive people will remind you that you're not alone in this journey.
- Participate in pulmonary rehabilitation. This includes skilled nurses and respiratory therapists tailoring an individual treatment plan of exercise, education and behavioral modifications. Designed to improve physical and psychological wellbeing, they are often held in a group setting with other patients who work together in improving health, fitness and their education on COPD.
- Educate yourself. Education is a big component in feeling more confident with your diagnosis. Research and speaking with your doctor are important, but pulmonary rehabilitation is also extremely helpful in the learning process. Understanding the disease, inhaler use and breathing techniques are necessary for physical and mental well-being.
- *Breathing techniques include purse lip breathing, which helps ease shortness of breath and acts as a relaxing tool. Try purse lip breathing by breathing in through your nose and purse your lips (like blowing out birthday candles), while exhaling through your mouth. The key is to have the exhale be longer than the inhale. Practicing this technique in the comfort of your home, and whenever you feel short of breath, will help your breathing.
- Stay active. While your COPD diagnosis may limit your physical activity from what it used to be, it should not stop you from staying active. Not only will this improve your condition and health, but exercise can help improve emotions of depression and anxiety.
The tools and support are available for regaining your physical and mental strength. Whether you're newly diagnosed or have already started the journey to manage your disease, it is never too late to start empowering yourself.

Hello, my name is Julia. I think when it comes to donating money to an organization, it's nice to see and hear how much your gift can be truly life changing for someone.
I was raised Jewish by my Canadian grandparents who moved to the US, specifically Beverly Hills in the 1950's. I rarely saw my mother and never saw my father. When I was 13 my grandfather passed away leaving me and my grandmother to move in with my mother, stepfather and their infant son. There my grandmother and I experienced severe neglect and mistreatment. I ended up moving out at age 15, losing my Jewish roots in the process.
At the age 25 I married a man who was extremely abusive, I was in the hospital for concussions and a broken collarbone he caused over our 7 year marriage. He had become addicted to alcohol and cocaine, which left me in financial ruin and the marriage finally ended. Many years later I moved to Portland, Oregon where I met my son's father. A year after we met, we began to date. Once I became pregnant he no longer allowed me to have friends, work, or do anything really. He became very dangerous to myself and my son. We moved into a domestic violence shelter. From there we were given a housing choice voucher so that we could move into a new place. It seemed where ever we went he would find us. I became determined to make the move to Canada as I had dual citizenship. We spent almost three months in a second shelter, and just before our time was up I received word that we had been accepted into a second stage transition house in Vancouver.
The building we moved to caused us a lot of stress. My PTSD and chronic pain were re-activated and we moved out for the sake of my health. We got a bit of rental assistance here and there but could not find a counselor without a year wait list, and none that were free. I wanted to reconnect myself with my Jewish roots at last, and introduce my son to Judaism.
One day I was online looking for help and found Jewish Family Services. I still remember my first time meeting Tanja there. I was badly in need of less expensive housing, counselling, and community. I was introduced to Leeya, my current caseworker and I found all of that and more. I was connected with Tikva housing and given a rental subsidy, we were signed up for the Jewish food bank, had many wonderful tickets to events given to us, had help with unexpected expenses, my son was offered camp at the JCC and this year he is being offered sleep away Ha Tikva camp. Schara Tzedeck invited us to many Shabbat dinners as well as their high holiday programming, we received a scholarship for my son to attend Hebrew School (T-Jex) and we began to thrive. JFS truly offers wraparound services and ongoing support.
We recently were given the good news from Tikva that we have been selected as tenants for their new townhouses in the river district and will be moving next year. I can now look forward to my son growing up in a safe home which is affordable for me and gives us the opportunity to build a community and make lifelong friends.
Our story would have never been possible without the generous support of JFS, its partnering agencies, and all of the wonderful donors. I humbly and sincerely want to thank everyone who has been a part of our amazing story. Thank you.
