The Swinging Pendulum in Gold Sentiments - Sharps Pixley
The U.S. Comex gold futures surged 1.15 percent on Wednesday after the
disappointing U.S. Q4 GDP data was released while the Fed maintained its
bond-purchase program of $85 billion a month. The futures erased all
their gains on Thursday after the release of a series of U.S. economic
data. The S&P 500 index and the Euro Stoxx 50 index gave back 0.65
percent and 1.68 percent respectively in the past two days. The
Euro/Dollar traded as high as 1.3623 during Friday Asian morning while
the Dollar Index hovered at around 79.14, falling 0.76 percent for the
Gold Reacting to Mixed Economic Data
Gold price jumped on Wednesday when the U.S. reported a -0.1 percent
contraction in the Q4 GDP growth due to the lower defense spending and a
smaller stockpile increase. The U.S. Fed announced on Wednesday that
they would continue with its $85 billion a month bond-purchase program,
citing further downside risks in the U.S. economy. On Thursday, the
gold price dropped as the market figured that the U.S. growth would
recover in Q1 and inflation is well under control. The core inflation
in the U.S. climbed only 1.4 percent in 2012, compared to 1.9 percent in
2011. Despite the amount of quantitative easing around the world, many
major economies are still struggling with disinflation rather than
inflation. On the other hand, the U.S. ADP employment rose 192,000 in
January after rising 185,000 in December. Germany's unemployment in
January fell 16,000 compared to an expected 8,000 increase, indicating
that the economy is recovering from the Q4 decline. The Chinese
manufacturing expanded again in January with the PMI at 50.4 although
slightly lower than the December level of 50.6.
India and China Physical Demand Balancing Act
The gold price in India has declined about 6 percent from the November
peak owing mostly to Rupee's appreciation against the U.S. dollar. In
addition, the government raised the import tariffs on gold from 4 to 6
percent and doubled the gold dore bars and ores duties to 5 percent last
week. The import duty rise has dampened gold demand while the dealers
in India have already stocked up for the wedding season. In China, gold
volumes traded on the Shanghai Gold Exchange and the premiums have both
risen ahead of the Chinese Lunar New Year. However, according to
Barclays, the rising Chinese demand has not offset the slowdown in
Indian consumption.
Data to Watch
All eyes will be on Friday's U.S. January non-farm payrolls to gauge the
labour market outlook. Other events to watch will include the ECB and
the U.K. interest rate decisions on 7 February.

What did your child do at preschool today? You can try asking, but often they will say they did nothing or they "played." The most common question I receive from parents is, "How can I know he is doing anything at school? He never tells me anything and his cubby has been empty for days."
Please believe me, your child is doing something. A lot of stuff, actually. But he may not remember "doing" anything at all that day. And his accomplishments often cannot be held in the hand or seen with the eye at pick-up time. If he could tell you, it might sound like this:
"I concentrated today!
When someone asked to play with me, I said yes.
I looked at the caterpillars in the jar - for a very long time. Then my teacher read me a book about butterflies. Twice. Because I asked.
I sat next to a friend who was labeling the lifecycle of the frog. I handed her the labels and helped her match them. I got her a paper towel when her fingers were gluey.
When everyone was talking about bees I told them, "Bumblebees don't sting. Only honey bees sting. Bumblebees just bumble." Everyone agreed with me.
I looked at a real chicken egg and a real duck egg. I said the duck egg was bigger.
I used the very heavy tortilla press to make playdough tortillas. My friends helped and we laughed. None of us pinched our fingers.
I compromised about sitting in the comfy chair.
I served myself a snack, ate it politely alongside my friends, and cleaned up after myself.
I felt sad - just for a little bit - because I missed my mom.
I noticed that the lizard's food bowl was empty and cut some lettuce for him.
I waited for a turn on the orange bike.
I heard that a friend is going to Korea for the summer and I gave him a hug to say goodbye."
A preschooler's greatest and most important work often doesn't have any external product to show for it. Having and being a friend, acting out of kindness, demonstrating patience and self-control, taking care of oneself, feeling satisfied with a job well done - these things are all internalized. The children in our classrooms build their character and their understanding of the world every day, but they can't always verbalize it. They are doing so much challenging work! But they do not yet see their actions and successes as separate from themselves.
After a sunflower seed sprouts in the garden we might notice as the stem grows taller, but we cannot see the acts of photosynthesis and respiration and transpiration that take place every single day. The sunflower plant continues to do its work converting sunlight to sugars and sugars to fuel - the internal work of living - whether we take notice or not. Then, one day it blooms and we look at it and say, "Finally!"
Maria Montessori believed that the child reveals himself through his work, not through his outwardly visible successes and accomplishments. Every experience he has is internalized and becomes a part of his very being. She put it this way, "The things he sees are not just remembered; they form a part of his soul."
Stories from their day and recorded work, like the blooms of a sunflower, are parts of the child we can see and they might be pleasing to us, but they are only the product of a momumental amount of internal work. So please don't worry when your child says she did nothing all day. Nothing to grown-ups can be everything in the life of a child.
Lots of peace, lots of love ~ Heather

A GUN FIGHT between a Maserati and an SUV on the Las Vegas Strip caused a fiery crash at an intersection involving a taxi that burst into flames, leaving three people dead and at least three injured early Thursday, police said.
The Maserati driver, the taxi driver and a passenger in the cab were killed. The SUV got away.
In all, five vehicles were involved in the dramatic crash around 4.30 am. Thursday at Flamingo and Las Vegas boulevards, a wide intersection surrounded by some of the most famous casinos on the Strip, including the Bellagio, Caesars Palace and the Paris.
It started with people in the Maserati and the SUV exchanging gunfire before the high-end sports car hit the taxi, said Sgt John Sheahan. Three other vehicles were involved in the wreck, but the SUV was gone when police arrived, Sheahan said.
Several people were taken to the hospital, including a passenger from the Maserati. Four were taken to University Medical Centre. Hospital spokeswoman Danita Cohen said three were treated and released, while one person remained in the hospital. Their condition was not released.
The intersection is expected to be closed for hours as officers investigate.
A tourist who witnessed the aftermath of the crash told KLAS-TV the burning taxi looked like a fireball.
More people may be hurt, Sheahan said.
It's the latest in a series of violent actions on the tourist corridor since the beginning of the year. Two people were critically wounded in a shooting at a parking garage Feb. 6, and a tourist was stabbed in an elevator at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay Feb. 16.
A spokesman for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Jeremy Handel, said his organization didn't immediately have a comment on the incident and deferred to the police unit that patrols the tourism district.

I recently tried out the newest eyeshadow palette from www.SedonaLace.com. They are now offering the 120 Pro Palette Second Edition. The palette is the same quality as the first but offers a different mix of colors.
To see my review and tutorial, click here!
First Impressions:
First off, I still received my product in the mail super quick and amazingly bubble wrapped and protected. This time around, I took pictures to see you how well it's packaged. All products are amazingly shipped priority mail within 1 business day of their order. They also have began printing the Sedona Lace logo on the outside of their palettes.
I also had one slight crack in an eyeshadow...luckily it's a color that wasn't my favorite, so I wasn't that disappointed. The colors range from super vibrant to neutral. This palette differs from the 1st edition because it has more pastels, more bronzes, and less of the mixed shades that the original palette had.
Comparing the 1st Edition Palette to the 2nd Edition
I actually find this palette a little bit more wearable than the first. You get a lot of great colors. They apply the exact same. Shades range from matte, to satin, to shimmer. I find that the shimmery ones apply super easily and pigmented while some matte ones may take a little time to work with. Remember with these shadows to wear a creamy eyeshadow base. Pat the shadow onto your eye for color and don't overblend. That's the key to mastering these looks.
Just looking at the shadows inspired me to do a super fun, bright look.
Check out my video tutorial!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Contractors who built the web portal for the Obama administration's health insurance marketplace said Thursday the site's crippling problems trace back to insufficient testing and changes that government officials made just prior to going live.
Who's to blame? The first congressional hearing into what went wrong dug into issues of website architecture and testing protocols — but also re-stoked the partisan battle over President Barack Obama's signature expansion of health coverage for millions of uninsured Americans. Republicans who've been trying to kill the program the past three years sounded outraged that it is being poorly carried out, while Democrats jeered them as political hypocrites.
What was clear after more than four hours of testimony was that the contractors had only partial answers, and only the Obama administration can eventually put the entire picture together to explain the botched rollout.
Better times are coming, said executives from CGI Federal, which built the HealthCare.gov website serving 36 states, and from QSSI, which created a component that helps verify applicants' incomes and other personal details. They said problems are being fixed daily and expressed optimism that anybody who wants coverage will able to get it by Jan. 1.
"The system is working, people are enrolling," said CGI vice president Cheryl Campbell. "But people will be able to enroll at a faster pace."
Asked for a timetable, she side-stepped, saying: "I don't like to raise expectations."
The online insurance markets were meant to be the portal to coverage for people who don't get health benefits on the job. Middle-class people are to pick from subsidized private insurance plans, while low-income people are steered to Medicaid in states that have agreed to expand that safety-net program. But the administration is now urging consumers to apply via call centers or on paper forms as the website problems are being addressed.
Lack of testing was the main thread emerging from Thursday's hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
But questions were also raised about a decision by the administration to not allow window shopping, as e-commerce sites generally do. Requiring consumers to open accounts and calculate subsidies before they could shop greatly increased the volume of traffic. That precipitated the crash of an accounts registration feature that became an early bottleneck. The site is now allowing limited window shopping.
"It's certainly not perfect but getting better by the day," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in Phoenix.
"We now have 700,000 applications that have been submitted for health insurance. We intend to make sure those folks get the coverage they need," she said.
At Thursday's House hearing, the contractors said they each tested their own components independently but that the Health and Human Services Department was responsible for testing the whole system from end to end. That kind of testing didn't happen until the last couple of weeks before the system's Oct. 1 launch.
Representing QSSI, Andrew Slavitt told the committee that ideally, end-to-end testing should have occurred well before that, with enough time to correct flaws.
How much time?
"Months would be nice," said Slavitt.
"We would have loved to have months," concurred CGI's Campbell.
The administration has acknowledged it did not test enough, and that that contributed to the problems.
The focus on the contractors is just a first step for re-energized GOP investigators. After the failure of their drive to defund "Obamacare" by shutting down the government, Republicans have been handed a new opportunity by the administration in the signup problems. Administration officials, including Sebelius, are to testify next week.
"This is not about blame," committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., said as he opened the hearing. But he and other Republicans wasted little time in castigating the administration for having repeatedly assured Congress before the launch that everything was on track.
"Are they simply incompetent, or were they lying to the American people?" said Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pa.
Democrats shot back that Republicans have no objectivity when it comes to the law. "We have already documented a record of Republicans trying to sabotage the Affordable Care Act," said ranking Democrat Henry Waxman of California, citing not only the defunding effort in Congress but state-level campaigns to discourage enrollment.
Another Democrat, New Jersey's Frank Pallone, dismissed the hearing as a "monkey court."
What motivated the administration to delay the window shopping feature remained an unresolved question. QSSI's Slavitt testified it came as a "late decision."
Speaking for the administration, Julie Bataille, director of Medicare's office of communications, told reporters Thursday without elaboration that it was a "business decision." The Medicare agency is responsible for running the health care overhaul.
E-commerce sites, including Medicare.gov, routinely allow anonymous shopping, and customers set up accounts when they check out. Health and Human Services spokeswoman Joanne Peters said recently that window shopping wouldn't have let consumers first see if they were eligible for tax credits. The credits amount to a discount off the sticker price of premiums.
Without citing any evidence, some Republicans suggested the administration's motivation was political. "This browsable website was turned off to hide the costs," said Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo.
Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., sought to debunk that.
"Are you aware of any political intervention by this White House relating to your work on HealthCare.gov?" he asked Campbell.
"I am not," she responded.
QSSI's Slavitt said the decision had technical implications. It increased the website's workload, contributing to the failure of an accounts registration function that his company was in charge of. Requiring the merely curious to create accounts "may have driven higher simultaneous usage of the registration system that wouldn't have occurred if consumers could window-shop anonymously," he said.
Slavitt added that accounts registration snags are being cleared up. And HHS has since incorporated a rudimentary window shopping feature to HealthCare.gov
Meanwhile, Slavitt and the administration both are saying that another, even more important component designed by QSSI is working well. It's the website's virtual back room, known as the federal data hub, which plays a crucial role in verifying applicants' identity, immigration status and income.

ECE497 Notes on Qt
Embedded Linux Class by Mark A. Yoder
Qt is one of the many UI frameworks that runs on the Beagle. It also runs on many other platforms such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, and it appears to be one of the more popular choices for the Beagle. It even runs on dumb cell phones. We'll be using it with X11, however there is an embedded version that doesn't need X.
TI Graphics site has the latest version of QT.
Qt can be developed solely on the Beagle, but I suggest you install it on both your host and the Beagle. Compilations on the Beagle may only take 20 or 30 seconds, but run much faster on the host.
Installing v6
I'm running with v6 since it's an easy download on both the host and Beagle. You also get the sources for the examples this way.
Installing on the host
I think this is all I did on the host. This assumes you have oe installed.
host$ source ~/.oe/environment-2008 host$ bitbake qt4-x11-free-gles
Installing on the Beagle
Here's what I've installed on the Beagle
beagle$ opkg update beagle$ opkg install qt4-x11-free # 3 minutes beagle$ opkg install qmake2 # 1 minute beagle$ opkg install qt4-x11-free-dev # 4 minutes beagle$ opkg install qt4-x11-free-doc # 5 minutes
I had to hack a couple of things before running qmake.
beagle$ cd /usr/bin beagle$ ln -s moc moc-qt4 beagle$ ln -s uic uic-qt4 beagle$ ln -s qmake-qt4 qmake
beagle$ source /usr/share/qt4/environment-setup
Be sure to source the setup file before running qmake for the first time.
Check out the qt demos and documentation.
beagle$ qtdemo beagle$ midori file:///usr/share/doc/qt4/html/index.html
The following appears to load some qt examples with source code in /usr/share/ICS. You'll also find examples in /usr/bin/qt4/examples.
beagle$ opkg install linuxtag-ics # 1 minute
Installing v5
Version 5 is what you get when you use the package managers. I don't know how to get the source for the examples with this approach.
Installing on the host
Just run:
host$ sudo apt-get update host$ sudo apt-get install libqwt-dev # 1 minute host$ opkg intall libqwt-examples # 1 minute
Installing on the Beagle
Just run:
beagle$ opkg update beagle$ opkg intall libqwt-dev # 1 minute beagle$ opkg intall libqwt-examples # 1 minute
Qt Tutorials
There are several nice Qt Tutorials here. I suggest you start with the Widgets Tutorial. Here's how you can run the examples on the Beagle.
- Go to the Creating a Window tutorial and download the main.cpp and toplevel.pro files. Put them in their own directory.
- Run qmake. (Be sure you have sourced the file noted above.) This will create a Makefile.
- Run make. This should compile the program. It takes about 30 seconds for the first make.
- Do an ls to see what files were created. You should see toplevel. Run it.
- Congratulations, you've just compiled and run your first Qt program.
Work through the rest of the widgets tutorials to learn about building at Qt from the bottom up. The Address Book tutorials look like they are also a good place to explore.
Qt Designer
It's possible to build a user interface from the command line, building a graphics user interface is more easily done with a graphical program. Qt Designer is Qt's tool for designing and building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) from Qt components. The Qt Designer Tutorial is a good overview of what Designer can do. Designer runs on the host and the Beagle and should already be installed.
The Qt Designer tutorial ends rather quickly. I suggest you follow it up by looking at the Qt Designer Examples. Here you will learn different ways to take the *.ui file created by Designer and use it with your other Qt code.
Useful Links
Here are some usefule links I've found.
- The Qt site
- It's a bit overwhelming at first, but gives a good idea what Qt can do, how it can do it, and where it's doing it.
- Qt Reference Documenation
- This looks like a nice reference.
- Building Qt to make use of the Beagle board's SGX GPU
- There is a version of Qt that uses the Beagle's SGC to render the 3D stuff. I'm not doing 3D right now, so I haven't looked into it.
- Building Qt
- This is TI's site.
- Embedded Linux Qt
- If you are thinking small, maybe you don't want X running on your Beagle. If so, look at Qt Embedded. It write straight to the frame buffer.
- Setting Up Qt Development Environment for BeagleBoard-xM
- This site has some nice instructions on getting QT going on the Beagle by recompiling everything. I don't think recompiling is really necessary. It's set up for using Qt embedded.
Qt Quick and Qt Creator
Qt Quick is another way of building a UI. Qt Quick is based on JavaScript, HTML and CSS. Qt Creator is a cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE) tailored to the needs of Qt developers; however it doesn't appear to run on the Beagle. I need to look into this some more.
I'm working through this example. I can't change mousearea1 to MouseArea to match the figure. I think something is missing in the instructions.
The Transitions section has some details missing:
transitions: [ Transition { from: "*"; to: "State1" NumberAnimation { properties: "x,y"; duration: 1000 } } ]
Real-time Plotting - QWT
QWT is short for Qt Widgets for Technical Applications. It is a collection of widgets and support classes for creating technical applications. I hope to use it to do real-time plotting on the Beagle.
Here is the main qwt site. Here is some info on QWT. I think it might be able to plot data as it comes in.
Here's how I think I installed it on the host.
host$ svn co https://qwt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qwt/branches/qwt-6.0 # This is straight from the qwt site. host$ cd qwt-6.0 host$ gedit qwtconfig.pri
Around line 108, uncomment QWT_CONFIG += QwtExamples
. This will compile the examples too.
host$ qmake-qt4 host$ make
After a while it should be ready to run. Explore the examples folder. The Makefiles are setup to put all the binarys in examples/bin. Try running them.
On the Beagle
Here's what I did on the Beagle.
beagle$ svn co https://qwt.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qwt/branches/qwt-6.0 beagle$ source /usr/share/qt4/environment-setup beagle$ cd qwt-6.0 beagle$ qmake beagle$ make
The compile took about 20 minutes without the examples. The examples took an additional 17 minutes. The lib files don't get copied to /usr/lib (even with make install), so I copied them by hand.
beagle$ cd lib beagle$ cp * /usr/lib
Now try an example.
beagle$ cd ../examples/bode beagle$ qmake beagle$ make beagle$ ../bin/bode
You will now see a bode plot. They the Zoom and Export buttons.
Note: All the example Makefiles are set up to install the executable in the examples/bin directory.

Jason Anthony Walcott
I created JAW Fonts, an independent type foundry, to design and sell my type. I am heavily influenced by the whimsical and often ingenious designs of hand lettering, whether it be a logo or a sign or titles from an old movie. These sources serve as the inspiration for many of my typefaces, as well as long forgotten designs that have yet to be digitized into computer typefaces. I strive to create a collection that will offer anyone who needs or uses typefaces, a unique selection of type with which to choose from. I fell in love with type when I was in school for Graphic Design and Illustration. That love continued to grow until it seemed only logical that I become a type designer myself. As with any artist I am never satisfied to stop where I am, and so I will continue to increase my library and spread the notion that too many typefaces is never enough. All JAW Fonts have now been updated to include the euro symbol.
JAW Fonts ceased operation in 2003 and Jason has reintroduced his fonts in a revised form under the new name of Jukebox Type.

According to the National Institute of Child Health & Human Development, between 30 and 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant. Lactose intolerance, also known sometimes as lactase deficiency, is a condition that means an individual is unable to fully digest the lactose in dairy products. Understand the causes, symptoms and treatment options for this relatively common problem to minimize any disruption to your daily life.
Cause. Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme lactase, which is produced in the small intestine. Lactase normally breaks down the lactose found in dairy products into simpler sugars, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. According to the Mayo Clinic, when there is not enough lactase in the small intestine, lactose moves unprocessed into the colon, where it interacts with normal bacteria.
Types. There are principally three types of lactose intolerance. Primary lactose intolerance is a normal result of the aging process in many people. The human body normally produces large amounts of lactase at birth and throughout childhood, as milk is normally a staple part of the diet. Lactase production then decreases as you get older, which in some cases can lead to lactose intolerance. Secondary lactose intolerance occurs when the production of lactase is affected by an illness or injury or from surgery. Congenital lactose intolerance occurs from birth, and sufferers are affected throughout their lives.
Symptoms. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, people that suffer from lactose intolerance will normally experience symptoms 30 minutes to two hours after they have consumed milk or other dairy products. According to how much has been consumed, the symptoms can vary in severity and often include abdominal pain and bloating, gas, nausea and diarrhea.
Treatment. Lactose intolerance cannot be cured, as there is no way to boost the body's production of lactase. As such, sufferers must normally make adjustments to their diets. This will normally include a significant or complete reduction in the intake of dairy products. Because this can leave the individual short on essential nutrients and vitamins, such as calcium, sufferers may need to take supplements or focus on a calcium-rich diet. Consuming dairy products with other food can be a way to maintain calcium intake without suffering the symptoms of lactose intolerance.

Our annual Collectors Committee event was held this weekend, and the results are in: we've just acquired eight new works, from contemporary to ancient times, for the permanent collection. All this week Unframed will be running in-depth blog posts from our curators about each of these artworks, but for now, here's a quick look at the weekend's bounty:
Christian Marclay, The Clock (still), 2010, purchased with funds provided by Steve Tisch through the 2011 Collectors Committee, © Christian Marclay, photo courtesy Paula Cooper Gallery, New York
Christian Marclay's The Clock (2010), a 24-hour single-channel montage constructed out of moments in cinema and television history depicting the passage of time.
Ai Weiwei, Untitled (Divine Proportion), 2006, gift of the 2011 Collectors Committee, photo: Giovanni Tarifeño, courtesy of Friedman Benda and the artist
Ai Weiwei's Untitled (Divine Proportion) (2006), a spherical wooden structure carefully crafted using a tenon and mortise (nail-free joinery) technique.
Mexico, Oaxaca/Guerrero border region, Painted Panel, 1200–1400, purchased with funds provided by an anonymous donor through the 2011 Collectors Committee
An ancient and richly painted panel (AD 1200-1400), from the region bordering Oaxaca and Guerrero in Mexico, rare in its scale and elaborate imagery.
An ancient, wooden Heian-period Head of a Buddha—one of the finest sculptures of its age and size—from 1000–1050 AD Japan.
Craig Kaufman's Untitled (1969), part of the artist's loop series (ten in total, each a different color), a painted-plastic hybrid between painting and sculpture.
Donald Judd, Prototype Desk, 1978, purchased with funds provided by Kelvin Davis in honor of his brother, Paul Davis, through the 2011 Collectors Committee
Donald Judd's seminal Prototype Desk (1978)—one of the few pieces the artist made himself—demonstrates the same philosophy about space, geometry, and proportion that characterizes his body of sculpture.
Three casta paintings from a series by Juan Patricio Morlete Ruiz, circa 1760, representing the process of racial mixing among Indians, Spaniards, and Africans in colonial Mexico: VII. From Spaniard and Morisca, Albino (De español y morisca, albino), IX.

An intricately woven Peruvian textile (1500–1600), symbolic of universal order.
Each year the Collectors Committee gathers for a weekend of events that include a chance to see a handful of proposed acquisitions installed in one of our galleries and to hear LACMA curators give presentations on each artwork. At the culmination of the weekend, the members convene at a gala dinner and vote on which artworks to acquire with funds raised through Collectors Committee membership dues. You can also see what we acquired in 2010 and 2009 through these generous and essential donors.
Stay tuned to Unframed all week for a closer look at each of these objects, starting tomorrow with looks at Christian Marclay's The Clock and Ai Weiwei's Untitled (Divine Proportion).

They're made with unbleached flour, whole wheat flour, oats, and wheat germ. A scant two tablespoons of sugar sweetens them just enough, and butter, buttermilk, and one egg give them rich flavor. I had a small handful of currants leftover from another recipe, so I added them to the scone dough. The dough was patted into a disk, and it was to be cut into 12 triangular scones. I may have left the disk a little thicker than I should have, and 12 cuts would have made rather slender scones, so I went with eight larger ones instead. The tops were brushed with milk, and I decided to sprinkle on some extra oats and a little turbinado sugar just for the added visual appeal. The oats on top give them that healthy look.
Scones and muffins are Kurt's favorite things for breakfast because they're very grab and go. He liked that these were only lightly sweetened, and the combined flours, wheat germ, and oats gave them an almost nutty taste. They were light and tender, and if you take the time to sit down with one of them, they go very nicely with strawberry preserves. It won't be long before I try the other scones in this book or recipes from elsewhere, but I'll definitely be making these again too.

It reads:
Dorothy's been missing for many years nowI still have to work on Mr. Limestones costume and get some interior decorations up. Tick tock, tick tock 16 days til Halloween.
Scarecrow & Tin Man are gone too somehow
Within the haunted forest they may be
where wicked witches lurk among the trees
Oh what I'd give for an ounce full of courage
but I'm weak, tired and quite discouraged
All the goodness of Oz can be restored if you care
if only I had nerve and wasn't so scared.
All I have left is this one ruby slipper
sent to you with a proposition to consider
Join me in Oz for Halloween night
Share in the struggle against one witch's might
Help defeat one wicked old crone
I've tried my best, but can't do it alone.
Through it all we'll remind ourselves
there's no place like home.

"You can take all the wrestling credentials and throw them out the window. It is a whole different game once you start throwing punches."
These are not the words or tone one expects to hear from a recipient of a much coveted "Submission of the Night" bonus. Gloating and outright cockiness, maybe? But UFC middleweight CB Dollaway is fairly humble and transparent with his thoughts concerning his own career in and out of the Octagon. And why shouldn't he be? Dollaway won the fight, it's not his first time receiving a "Submission of the Night" award, and he's having a good time in the UFC nowadays.
The 27 year old Arizona State University graduate is an open book about his most recent victory in the Octagon over Canadian Joe Doerksen.
"I kind of planned on him not being able to take me down," he divulges, which isn't just bragging because Dollaway is a Division I All-American wrestler. The early takedown attempt by Doerksen was simply not a part of his expectation of the cagey veteran. "I didn't figure he would even go for many takedowns. I thought we would kind of stand and trade and test out the waters on our feet, but the first chance he got he went for the takedown."
It is not too difficult to recall that UFC 119 bout blow-for-blow, because the fight ending choke was secured just over two minutes into the first round. "I knew that if it did hit the ground, I'm as dangerous there as he is, so when it went there I saw an opportunity and went for it," asserts Dollaway about latching a guillotine choke on the savvy Doerksen, who has earned an impressive 33 of his 46 victories by submission. "That fight showed that I'm very dangerous off my back too. I'm very confident in my submission game."
Overall, it was a short night for "The Doberman". Doerksen got the takedown and Dollaway wrapped his neck for the guillotine, but did not have it immediately and the two sat in a stalemate for a minute. "I was staying relaxed because I knew I had him in a little bit of trouble, but I couldn't finish it from there," says Dollaway, whose patience in the cage paid off and then some. "I was just looking to sweep him and take top position. I knew I had 15 minutes in a fight, so I was in no rush to do anything and get everything adjusted to make my move. All it takes is one mistake to end any fight."
Dollaway's opponent, known as "El Dirte", made his move and the pair executed a series of somersaults, with Doerksen trying to escape the choke and Dollaway relentless in chasing for the finish. After a few rolls, Doerksen tapped and Dollaway was now 12-3 with a standing ovation from the Indianapolis crowd for the quick win. A couple hours later, Dollaway was also $70,000 richer with the submission bonus, "It makes me feel a little bit more secure and focus more on fighting and not having to worry about money. Just put that in the bank and have a little security there."
"The Doberman" is licking his chops on a three fight win streak dating back to September of 2009 and is ready to take on another Division I All-American wrestling convert: Mark Munoz. On March 3rd, Dollaway will be looking for his sixth UFC win against Munoz and a little payback for his fight team. At UFC 123, "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" won a unanimous decision over Dollaway's friend and training partner Aaron Simpson.
"We definitely broke him down a lot for Aaron's fight," says Dollaway, noting that this will be his second time around analyzing Munoz for tendencies and weaknesses. But the videotape is far from gospel. "I feel like I've studied for him twice, but I'm expecting a different fighter. Like me, I'm betting he gets better every time he steps into the cage, so you can't simply go off their last performance. You have to expect they're going to get better, expect new things out of him and just expect a better Mark Munoz."
As for The Ultimate Fighter season 7 runner-up's opinion on Munoz's showing against Simpson, "I thought he did a great job." The Oklahoma State University alum out hustled his opponent that night, thus improving his record to 4-2 in the UFC. "He kept a lot of pressure on Aaron and kept coming forward. He stayed aggressive and it paid off for him."
The match-up is excellent. Great wrestling backgrounds, comfortable strikers, similar amount of fights for the UFC, mostly wins, and a pair of losses each. "It is definitely the type of opponent I'm looking for," affirms Dollaway who is more than satisfied with the potential this fight has and what a win over Munoz would mean to his career. "He just lost a split decision to Yushin Okami who should be fighting for the world title. He's definitely right up there and a win over him would be huge for my career."
One can never guess how a fight will play out, but Dollaway assures this won't be a wrestling match because it simply isn't. "If this was a wrestling match it would be a different story, but it's a fight," remarks Dollaway, making it clear that just because someone has success in college wrestling doesn't mean that will translate to MMA. "You can take all the wrestling credentials and throw them out the window. It is a whole different game once you start throwing punches. I've seen guys with great wrestling credentials get taken down by guys who don't have any."
Besides the win streak, "The Doberman" is at an all-time high confidence wise because he is coming off a great training camp. Even better, it was a smooth and uneventful one. Dollaway has been a man without a gym for the better part of a year after leaving Arizona Combat Sports with Ryan Bader and Aaron Simpson. They had plans to start their own gym. In the mean time, they were forced to train almost solely in the Arizona State University wrestling room because other gyms would not take them in knowing they were breaking ground on a gym. But now their gym is open and they have a home to call their own at Power MMA & Fitness in Gilbert, Arizona.
"We've been in our own gym this whole training camp. We haven't had to hop around to different gyms like in the Doerksen fight. That experience was a nightmare. But we found a way to fight through the adversity and got the job done. It's definitely been nice to have a spot to go to every day and no worries about somebody telling us when we can train. We could just get down to business and focus on the fight."
"The Doberman" sounds happy and secure with his place in the UFC and even more so with his preparation for his opponent. "It is easy to train for Mark because we have a lot of guys like him; Aaron is almost a mirror image of Mark," said Dollaway, who explains that Simpson and Munoz throw a lot of the same punches and have a takedown heavy offense. "It has been great having Aaron here and having all the other D-1 wrestlers coming in to work out with me. They provide great training partners. Every day you go in and you know you are going to get good work."
The new gym has been busier than Grand Central Station with UFC stars from past and present. "Robbie Lawler is with us full time now, Kyle Kingsbury was down doing some of his camp here, and DaMarques Johnson was here." For Dollaway, these new looks and new techniques make training more exciting than ever. "It reminds of the days when we were at Arizona State training with your teammates and friends. It's awesome."
On March 3rd, live on Versus, a wholly focused and ever improving CB Dollaway will be ready and waiting to take on his next challenger: Mark Munoz. As Mike Tyson once said, "There's nothing more deadly or more proficient than a happy fighter." Hopefully, Munoz is equally as prepared as his opponent, because with a new gym, a three fight win streak, dangerous submissions, more confidence in his stand-up, and his wrestling pedigree, "The Doberman" is fighting happy.

Rev. Ray Matheson,
the pastor of Congregational Care at First Alliance Church, reflects on his
time with the late Ralph Klein. Matheson had met Ralph many times, but grew
closer in late 2011 when he was invited to the former premier's home to discuss
spiritual matters.

Calgary Herald
Just four days before dying on Good Friday, Ralph
Klein was more lucid than he had been in months, knew that his death was
imminent and was very much at peace with it, his pastor says.
Rev. Ray Matheson, the congregational care minister
at First Alliance Church, says he went to visit the former Alberta premier on
Tuesday, March 26 at the long-term care facility Ralph was living in.
"When I walked in the room he put out his hand and
said, 'Ray!' " Matheson said.
"I sat down beside him and Ralph said: 'My ship is
going to sail soon.'
"And I said, 'It's going to sail to a good place,
Ralph. You're going to go to be with Jesus,' and we talked about heaven and he
was so peaceful and looked so joyful," said Matheson.
"Ralph grabbed my hand and held on really tight and
we prayed. I'm confident that Ralph is with Jesus and that he's in heaven, that
he's got a full and keen mind, even better than he had in his prime, and that
he's whole in every way."
Ralph Klein's public memorial service is being held
Friday at the Jack Singer Concert Hall. Since his passing on March 29 at the
age of 70, there has been an outpouring of affection from across the country
and even from around the world toward the personable politician who was
Calgary's mayor from 1980 to 1989 and Alberta's 12th premier from Dec. 14, 1992
to Dec. 14, 2006.
Matheson says during their final prayer together,
he shared with Ralph verses from chapter 14 of the Gospel of John in which
Jesus describes heaven, saying: "In my Father's house there are many rooms ...
I am going there to prepare a place for you."
"I also shared with him how in that same chapter
Jesus said: 'I am the way and the truth and the life,' and I encouraged Ralph
to just hang onto Jesus, thanking God that he had been forgiven, that God had a
place for him in heaven and as a result of Jesus' resurrection and His saving
Grace in Ralph's life, that he had nothing to fear."
Matheson, 69, said he had met Ralph many times over
the years, but it wasn't until the spring of 2011 that they grew closer.
That's when Bill Olson, a retired architect, member
of the large Calgary congregation and a longtime mutual friend of both Matheson
and Klein, made a startling admission.
"Bill Olson told me that he was driving down the
Deerfoot past the church and Ralph pointed to the church and said, 'I've put in
my will that I want Ray Matheson to do my funeral.' "
As a result, Ralph invited Matheson to his Lakeview
Ralph's wife, Colleen, went out to do some grocery
shopping during their visit and Ralph took Matheson into his den.
"I said, 'I understand that you want me to do your
funeral,' and he said, 'yes, if you would.'
"I said, well, I just want to be sure that you're
ready to die, that when you die you'll go to heaven and that you'll be assured
of that fact and he said, 'yes, tell me how to be sure.'
"We talked about the way to heaven — that it is by
Grace, it isn't dependent on how good you were, or on your church attendance,
or how many good deeds you've done. The Bible says it's not of good works that
you are saved, but it is through recognizing that we are all sinners, that we
had fallen short of God's standard and that's what Grace was — something we
can't earn by our own efforts.
"And then I talked about how it was through
believing that Jesus died for our sins to bring us forgiveness, that he was
crucified to pay the penalty of our sins but that he rose from the dead so that
we could have eternal life. And I said that God offers us a gift — it's a gift
of forgiveness. It's a gift of eternal life and the gift of peace with God and
that like any gift, we have to receive that gift."
Matheson says he then knocked on the coffee table
in Ralph's den.
"I said, Jesus is knocking. Jesus said: 'I stand at
the door and knock, if you'll hear my voice and open the door, I'll come in and
we'll be friends.'
"And I remember I said to him, 'would you like to
open the door to Jesus?' and he said, 'yes I would, but I don't know how to do
it.' "
So, Matheson led him through a prayer.
"Ralph invited Christ into his life and he seemed
so very grateful and happy after that," said Matheson.
"Colleen came home shortly after that and I
remember he gave her a big hug and expressed his enthusiasm for what he had
done and for the sense of being forgiven."
Matheson says Klein started attending church that
spring. But a few months later — in late August or early September — his
pulmonary problems, caused by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, got so bad
that Ralph had to be hospitalized.
He had also by then been diagnosed with a rapidly
progressing type of dementia.
"The dementia seemed to really escalate so
quickly," recalls Matheson, who visited him regularly at the hospital and then
at the long-term care facility in Garrison Woods.
"Sometimes he would greet me by name, he'd say
'Ray!' or he would say 'pray' but most of those times I visited he wasn't able
to say very much at all and sometimes he would say nothing. But then I visited
him the Tuesday before he died on Good Friday and he was so much more able to
speak than he had been in such a long time."
Matheson says several weeks ago he had told Colleen
that he had plans to celebrate his wife Dee's 70th birthday in North Carolina
with her siblings at a cottage there. Colleen took note of those dates.
Then after Ralph died, Matheson left numerous
messages trying to connect with the busy and grieving Colleen.
By the time they connected, Colleen had made new
arrangements for the private family burial, which is expected to take place
this Saturday. Former Alberta Treasurer Jim Dinning is expected to speak and an
aboriginal smudge ceremony will take place graveside as well.
"I offered to cancel my travel plans, but Colleen
very graciously told me that I should go be with my wife."
Matheson, however, is grateful for the time and
friendship he shared with one of Alberta's favourite sons and looks forward to
seeing him again.

All these services will come with unique degrees of effort, and you will need to be able to handle this.
Do some research before you decide on a service or a product: Before you decide on a product, you will need to do a little research into it, because not all of Fiverr affiliates sell the very same products. Some market only eBooks. Others sell only services. The more services you sell, the more profit you can make.
How to earn money on Fiverr does not mean selling everything you see. You can't just put everything on the site and expect it to market; there's a lot of competition and your odds are slim if you are going to sell anything that's not already known.
Know who you are selling to: You should know how many people there are who will buy the service you are offering. You also have to understand the sort of people you're selling to. There are some customers who will only buy services from large companies like Amazon and Google, while others prefer smaller businesses. In order to reach this sort of clientele, you need to know about what kind of services people in your business need and desire.
Know your audience: You should be aware of the kind of information your audience needs. Prior to going looking for an affiliate marketer job on Fiverr. This means that if you're a freelance writer, you can tell the person you're marketing something, how often they're looking for writers.
The way to make money on Fiverr does not mean that you're expected to have the greatest knowledge of your chosen niche. You're selling to people who need something, and you will need to give it to them. Make sure you sell the best stuff, that you understand how to market the best things, which you know what your audience is looking for. That way, you'll always be able to find your niche, and your Fiverr affiliate project will remain profitable.
Know your market: If you want to succeed in an affiliate program, then you will need to know what you're selling. Without this knowledge, it's tough to be successful at any kind of online marketing campaign. It's also easy to get stuck with a campaign, so you need to know where you are going and what you will need to achieve.
You may also choose to choose an affiliate program that has a strict set of rules for selling. This means that you may only sell products that have already been approved for sale by the site. Or by the provider, but there are different principles that you are still free to follow.
It is important to know where to get started before you begin your Fiverr online job. It might take you a bit of time to research each and every program to find one which suits you and your needs, but it is going to pay off in the long run. You could always check out Fiverr job forums, ask questions, or consult with other sellers.
The biggest mistake many people make is they wait until they get all of the money online before they begin to learn about affiliate programs. You need to begin learning when you find a niche you are interested in. The reason for this is because there are dozens of opportunities to get started making money online.

AUSTRALIAN dental experts have called for all soft drinks to carry warning labels declaring the risk of tooth decay.
The call, backed by new research from the University of Adelaide and supported by Australia's peak dental bodies, comes after a new study revealed some Australian children were consuming three or more sugared drinks a day.
The study, published this month in the American Journal of Public Health, also found tooth decay and cavities were ''significantly associated with greater sugar-sweetened beverage consumption''.
It found 56 per cent of Australian children aged five to 16 consumed at last one sugared drink a day and that 13 per cent consumed three or more sugared drinks a day.
The number of decayed, missing and filled baby teeth was 46 per cent higher among children who consumed three or more sweet drinks a day, compared with children who did not consume any.
''Consistent evidence has shown that high acidity of many sweetened drinks, particularly soft drinks and sports drinks, can be a factor in dental erosion, as well as the sugar itself contributing to tooth decay,'' says the lead author of the study, Dr Jason Armfield, from the Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health at the University of Adelaide.
He said: ''If health authorities decide that warnings are needed for sweet drinks, the risk to dental health should be included.''
The calls were backed by the Australian Dental Association and the Australian Dental and Oral Health Therapists' Association. ''I think the profession as a whole would support any labelling that would highlight the risk of tooth decay from soft drinks and beverages that contain high sugar content and are acidic,'' said ADA Victorian branch president Dr Gordon Burt.
''Certainly the message doesn't seem to be disseminating through the population as much as we'd like it to now.''
The National Health and Medical Research Council is due to update its dietary guidelines in February. They are expected to include recommendations to ''limit intake of foods and drinks containing added sugars … In particular, limit sugar-sweetened drinks.'' The guidelines currently advise consumers to ''moderate'' intake.
Australian Beverages Council chief executive Geoff Parker described health warnings on soft drinks, including the risk of tooth decay, as ''way over the top''.
''Teaching kids from early on about good dental hygiene practice is important. But singling out one particular part of the diet is a misguided approach to dealing with an issue such as dental hygiene,'' he said.
Consistent evidence has shown that high acidity of many sweetened drinks can be a factor in dental erosion.
On Wednesday, fast-food chain McDonald's drew criticism from health groups when it held a one-day promotion in which customers could purchase frozen Coke with Monopoly money.
''If McDonald's chooses to carry out these sort of promotions, it would be so much better if they included their healthier product choices like bottled water or fruit bags,'' said Craig Sinclair, director of the Cancer Prevention Centre at the Cancer Council.
''One medium frozen Coke from McDonald's contains around 10 teaspoons of sugar,'' he said.
Earlier this month, the Cancer Council joined forces with Diabetes Australia and the National Heart Foundation of Australia in a campaign to tackle soft drink over-consumption which it says is a key contributor to obesity in Australia.

Comic-Con Choo-Choo: Fans hop aboard exclusive train trip to pop fest
For a lucky fellowship of fans, Comic-Con is beginning early on a private train car trekking to the pop-culture convention.
The fan-centric social networking site Wikia picked 30 users to board a private vintage carriage transformed into the Wikia Fan Express, a special expedition Wednesday from Los Angeles to San Diego that included an assortment of unique on-board entertainment, including special sneak peeks and Q&A sessions.
"Comic-Con is supposed to be all about the fans, so what cooler way to get some of our fans to the show than to take them on this really beautiful train car," said Wikia entertainment programming director Eric Moro while perched underneath the car's domed glass ceiling. "The fact that we're not only taking this really cool train to Comic-Con, but we've got all this great content to show them along the way is awesome."
The Wikia-sponsored railway journey, which served as the caboose to a standard Amtrak train, included a preview of the upcoming video game "Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor," a sneak peak at the fantasy-meets-reality TV series "The Quest" and a demonstration of Wikia's new interactive mapping feature, which allows users to collaboratively annotate maps of both real and fictional places like Middle-earth.
"This is the first time I've ever demoed a game on a train," said "Shadow of Mordor" design director Michael de Plater before showing off a level from the open-world combat game, which is set between "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" tales. "I'm afraid this might turn into 'Snowpiercer.' It might be a blood bath. I will be Ed Harris."
While the private excursion hardly resembled the train-set sci-fi film, Wikia did deck out booths inside the domed Silver Splendor car, which was built in 1956, with maps of the villainous realm Mordor and flat-screen monitors to broadcast game and TV clips.
Moro and his team hand selected fans for the expedition from hundreds of Wikia users headed to Comic-Con. Rebecca "cyabude3" Lietz, who contributes to the site's "Shadow of Mordor" page, traveled from Germany for the special trip. It's her first-ever Comic-Con.
"It's really special," said Lietz. "People from all over the world come to Comic-Con to see things like DC, Marvel and Archie Comics, so for me to be here for the first time and go to San Diego this way, it's really great."
Comic-Con, the four-day extravaganza that celebrates film, TV, video games, comic books and costumes, launches at the San Diego Convention Center with a preview Wednesday night before going full steam ahead Thursday with more than 150,000 fans expected to attend the sold-out event.
Natalie "keyframegirl" Ebnet, who contributes to the Wikia page specifically about Comic-Con, is taking her 10th trip to the festival. She said she initially started posting about the expo because she couldn't find tips about attending with children, though Ebnet's offspring aren't along for the ride this time.
"I've ditched the kids for the past two years with the husband," said Ebnet. "I meet up with my girlfriends down there. It's our version of a spa weekend.

Canada is a huge melting pot for different cultures and nationalities. The country is approximately 5,000 km from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean's with each of the provinces and territories diverse in their history. It is hard to define what is truly Canadian and what we have adopted from other cultures and nationalities. One thing I do know is that we have such an abundance of fresh produce and other natural resources that we make good use of what we have. Each province is unique in what would be considered their traditional dishes depending on the nationality of who settled there as well as what is available locally!! Canadians are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of eating locally produced food in all our provinces for many reasons. It tastes better, it supports the community, and, because it doesn't need to be shipped long distances, it's better for the environment.
I have spent periods of time in "La Belle Provence" Quebec which has it's own unique history and culture to share based on it's deep French roots. Stretching between the Hudson Bay and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, Quebec is Canada's largest and the second most populated province. Fiercely independent, Quebec is the only Canadian province with a majority of French-Canadian residents. What I love about Quebec and it's city and rural areas is its French flavour which still remains through it's food, history and culture. French food traditions abound in their rustic country breads, tourtiere (meat pie) , cretons, artisan cheeses (like Oka, made by Trappist monks), and foie gras. Soupe aux pois (yellow pea soup) with salt pork is a national French-Canadian dish. Feves au Lard (Quebec Baked Beans) are often cooked with maple syrup.
"Poutine" is a yummy concoction and a favourite snack food of mine consisting of french fries, hot brown gravy and fresh cheese curds that's as unhealthy as it is delicious. You can find it in all-night take-out joints and gourmet restaurants alike since it is highly addictive and comes with a variety of toppings from tomato sauce (poutine Italien) to fois gras. I am thinking it should replace Soupe aux Pois as our national dish!!!!! "Tarte au Sucre" or Sugar pie is as sweet as it sounds, made with a variety of sugars and maple syrup, boiled to a fudge and made into a pie. The province of Quebec produces more maple syrup than any other Canadian province!!!! And don't forget Montreal-Smoked Meat which is similar to pastrami for your sandwiches and Montreal bagels baked in wood-fired ovens and a personal favourite.
When the weather starts to get cooler I have a need to start nesting and part of this process is to rediscover my Canadian roots through food. There is something comforting and ethereal about getting back to your roots. This reminded me of Pâté Chinois (Chinese Pie) which is a French Canadian dish similar to English cottage pie, shepherd's pie or French hachis Parmentier. It is a traditional French Canadian main course, and is often served during the cold months of the year here in the Great White North. It is typically served with pickled beets or eggs. It is made from ground beef which is sometimes mixed with sautéed diced onions on the bottom layer, canned corn (either whole-kernel, creamed, or a mixture) for the middle layer, and mashed potatoes on top. Variations may include sprinkling paprika on top of the potatoes, reversing the layering of ingredients, adding diced bell peppers to the ground beef, and serving the dish with pickled eggs or beets. I first tried this dish in Alberta when one of my room mates was French Canadian although he referred to the dish as "Pate Chez Mois" or "Pate of my house".
Pâté Chinois is not a Chinese recipe as the name implies. One possible explanation for the 'Chinese' reference is that it was introduced to French Canadian railway workers by Chinese cooks during the building of the North American railroads in the late 19th century. These cooks made it under instruction from the railway bosses (of English extraction) as an easily-prepared, inexpensive version of the popular cottage pie, with the sauce in the tinned creamed-corn serving as a substitute for the gravy. The French Canadian railway workers became fond of it and brought the recipe back with them to their home communities. From there it was brought to the textile mill communities of Maine New Hampshire, Massachusetts,and Rhode Island where many French Canadians immigrated to work in the mills during the early 20th century.
Become an honourary Canadian and give this recipe a try or rediscover your own roots!!!
8 medium fresh whole white potatoes
1 garlic clove whole
1 lb ground beef
1 - 2 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow or Spanish onion, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
1 celery stalk, finely diced1 large carrot, finely diced
1 (15oz) can creamed sweet corn with sauce
grainy mustard to taste
Worcestershire sauce (a few shakes)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
Sliced Pickled Beets, chilled
Boil potatoes in lightly salted water until soft, drain. Mash potatoes, adding 2 tablespoons butter, Parmesan cheese and just enough buttermilk to achieve a spreadable consistency. Set aside.
Over medium heat in saute pan cook onion, carrot, bell pepper, and celery in butter approximately 5 minutes. Add beef to pan and fry until no longer pink. Add salt, pepper, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and cook on low heat for about 30min. Drain fat and put ground beef mixture in bottom of casserole dish.
Top meat mixture with creamed corn and spread evenly over beef.
Spread the mashed potatoes across the top to form a 'crust'. Lightly sprinkle with paprika, and salt/pepper to taste, and make tracks with a fork, if desired.
Bake uncovered at 400F until the potatoes are golden brown, approximately 25 minutes.
Serve hot with a generous portion of sliced chilled pickled beets.
Notes: shredded sharp cheddar cheese can be added on top of potatoes before cooking.

How I Help My Child to Eat Healthier
Grand Prize Winner
Jennifer Miller Smithsburg, MD
A conversation over lunch between myself and my very handsome and healthy son:
Mom: Jesse, do you know what is in those baby carrots?
Jesse (age 4): No, what?
Mom (explaining in such excitement like I've just met Spiderman): Vitamin A!!
Jesse: Vitamin A?
Mom (age undisclosed): Yes, Vitamin A! And do you know what is so great about Vitamin A?
Jesse: No, what?
Mom: It is really, really good for your eyes. It helps you to see better at night! It's soooo good for you!
Jesse: Could it help me see really good at night, like a bat?
Mom: Well, honey, bats can't see. They use their ears to see, it's called echolocation.
Jesse: What is that?
Mom: Well, I'm not exactly sure, ask your Dad when he gets home.
Jesse: Can I have four baby carrots cuz I'm four?
Mom: You can have as many as you want!
So, this is an example of how I get my child excited and interested in eating healthy. As a Registered Dietitian, I am knowledgeable in nutrition, and I am passing that information on to my children. Have I explained the intricacies of the Kreb's Cycle to him yet? No, but he does know that there is something healthy in fish that is good for his brain, Vitamin C in oranges helps keep the germies at bay, and there is protein in chicken that makes his muscles get strong so he can be the best superhero he can be.
Kids love to learn and they soak in these little tidbits of information. My hope is that they will practice good nutrition once mommy is no longer there every minute to monitor what they eat. Any mom can do this with their kids; you don't need to be a trained nutrition professional. All you need is a little imagination, excitement for healthy foods, and a love for your children and their well being. If you start teaching them the fundamentals from birth, they will never know different.
I must be clear that I am in no way a nutrition nut. As I sit typing this, my son is having a snack of ginger snap cookies and milk. But, he is drinking 1% milk and he knows that the cookies are a treat and a sometimes food, and he did eat all those carrots today, right? The point is, no one, not even RDs can be perfect eaters all the time. But we do eat healthy a lot of the time.
In addition to talking about nutrition, I am also very aware of TV time. I try to limit TV and only turn it on before nap and bedtime. We all know about the negatives of allowing kids to watch too much TV, so I am trying to train my son early that TV time is limited. We also eat at the table for all our meals and the TV is never on while we are eating.
In the summer, we grow a small vegetable garden and enjoy the fruits, or shall I say veggies, of our labor. There is nothing better than sitting on the porch swing and munching on fresh, raw, crispy sugar snap peas with your kid. Can I dare say that I think they are just as delicious as ice cream? Any day now our green beans will be ready and I tell my son they are green French fries. He knows they aren't really French fries, but he loves them anyway.
There are so many other things I do each day to make sure my little boys are cared for. I change my baby's diapers, I put them in their car seats, and I slather them in sunscreen before we go swimming, just like every other good mommy out there. So why wouldn't I care for their future health and well being by feeding them as best as I can each day? Along the way I am schooling them in how to fuel their bodies healthy and with any luck they will one day finally explain the Kreb's cycle to me!
