Charles Snelling spent six years taking care of his Alzheimer's-stricken wife, Adrienne, helpless as he watched the disease steal his college sweetheart. In March, after six decades of marriage, Snelling killed his longtime partner, and then he killed himself. Both were 81. "After apparently reaching the point where he could no longer bear to see the love of his life deteriorate further, our father ended our mother's life and then took his own life as well," his children said in a statement. "This is a total shock to everyone in the family, but we know he acted out of deep devotion and profound love."
Indeed, Alzheimer's disease unleashes a devastating, sometimes unmanageable burden. It is a leading cause of disability and death, with numbers poised to explode in coming years as the older population grows. (Symptoms typically first appear after age 60.) By 2050, an estimated 16 million people will be diagnosed with Alzheimer's, the most common type of dementia, and roughly 5.4 million Americans are currently living with the condition, according to a March report by the Alzheimer's Association, a nonprofit advocacy group. One person develops Alzheimer's every second. It's the 6th leading cause of death in the United States, and the 5th for those age 65 and older. And there's no cure. "We should be very worried," says Reisa Sperling, director of the Center for Alzheimer's Research and Treatment at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
In 2011, President Obama signed the National Alzheimer's Project Act, a law aimed at raising Alzheimer's profile, increasing funding for research and fighting Alzheimer's with an intensity equal to that in the war against cancer and heart disease. The hope: to wipe out or at least better treat Alzheimer's by 2025. Officials are frustrated that, while death rates from stroke, prostate cancer, breast cancer, heart disease, and HIV declined between 2000 and 2008, the death rate from Alzheimer's jumped by 66 percent.

Unfortunately, there's no concrete evidence that any protective step—be it brain games or dietary supplements—lowers the chances of Alzheimer's, according to a 2010 report by the National Institutes of Health. Although observational and animal studies show promise that the disease can be sidestepped, there's a lack of robust clinical studies involving humans, the gold standard in clinical research. "Can I say that exercise or diet will reduce your risk of Alzheimer's or delay onset so you get it at a later age? No, because we don't know for sure at this point," says Laurie Ryan, program director of Alzheimer's Disease Clinical Trials with the National Institute on Aging. "But the data we do have suggests that healthy living promotes healthy aging, which can only be good for you, even if it doesn't prevent or slow down onset."
Says Sperling: "It comes down to keeping the brain active mentally, the body active physically, and staying active socially. That combination is important." Here's what science suggests may help, and certainly won't hurt:
Keeping your brain sharp. People who challenge their brains throughout their lifetime by reading, writing, or playing games might be less likely to develop beta-amyloid plaques, abnormal protein deposits that are a hallmark of Alzheimer's. That's according to a small study published in January in the Archives of Neurology. The findings, based on brain-imaging, hint that people who stay mentally engaged from childhood on may lower their risk of Alzheimer's. Study participants who had only recently taken up crosswords or other mental exercises did not see much benefit, suggesting that early engagement is key. "It's interesting data," Sperling says. "It shows that there's no relationship between current activities and protection—it has to do with early life engagement."
[See: Fight These 4 Causes of Aging]
Eating a healthy diet. To thrive, your brain needs the right combination of nutrients. A brain-healthy diet is low in fat and cholesterol, reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes, and encourages good blood flow to your noggin. Maintaining an appropriate weight may count, too. One study of 1,500 adults found that those who were obese in middle age were twice as likely to develop dementia in later life as their normal-weight peers. Study participants with high cholesterol and high blood pressure—which are both influenced by diet—had six times the risk of dementia. Certain foods may play a role in protecting brain cells: Dark-skinned fruits and veggies, like kale, spinach, broccoli, prunes, raisins, blueberries, and red grapes, are rich in antioxidants thought to protect cognitive function while aiding in the reversal of cognitive decline. Cold-water fish, such as halibut, mackerel, salmon, trout, and tuna, contain healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which slow the accumulation of brain-clogging plaques. Other smart choices: almonds, pecans, and walnuts, which contain vitamin E, an antioxidant thought to preserve brain health. What's unclear is how much of these foods you would have to consume to see a benefit.
Socializing. Social interaction stimulates connections between brain cells. When we talk with others, we use parts of the brain that otherwise remain idle. Even better? Physical activity coupled with social engagement—a combination that's been associated with a lowered risk of dementia. "When people ask me if they should do crossword puzzles or Sudoku, I suggest ballroom dancing or taking a tai chi class," says Sperling. "It's perfect—you're learning something new, there's social interaction, and there's at least some physical activity."
Adjusting your lifestyle. Smokers have a higher risk of cognitive decline as they age. The story is similar for heavy drinkers. Research presented at a 2008 conference of the American Academy of Neurology found that people who had more than two alcoholic drinks a day developed Alzheimer's almost five years earlier, on average, than lighter drinkers.
[See: 7 Mind-Blowing Benefits of Exercise]
Exercising regularly. Get moving to keep your body and your brain fit. Even mild activity like a leisurely walk helps keep your brain sharp, fending off memory loss and keeping skills like vocabulary retrieval strong. In a 2011 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Canadian researchers analyzed the energy expenditure and cognitive functioning of elderly adults over the course of two to five years. Most of the participants weren't gym rats; their activities revolved around short walks, cooking, gardening, and cleaning. Still, compared with their sedentary peers, the most active participants scored significantly better on tests of cognitive function, and they showed the least amount of cognitive decline. By study's end, roughly 90 percent of them could think and remember just as well as they could when the study began. And a study published in the journal Neurology this week, based on 716 dementia-free men and women in their 70s and 80s, also suggested that any physical activity, not just activity that takes the form of exercise, may protect against Alzheimer's. People who landed in the bottom 10 percent of physical activity levels were more than twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's as their more active peers. Washing dishes, cooking, cleaning, gardening, and playing cards were among the activities that seemed to offer protection.
Keep in mind that no matter how many changes you make, or how many steps you take in the right direction, there are no guarantees. "Science is unlocking many of the mysteries of the brain, but we don't have all the answers yet," says Heather Snyder, senior associate director of medical and scientific relations with the Alzheimer's Association. "You can do everything 'right'—stay physically active, eat a low-fat and low-cholesterol diet, remain socially and mentally active, and still not prevent Alzheimer's disease. We need more research before we can answer these types of questions."

UPDATE: Suspect held for Belleville murder
A 53 year old Belleville man shot to death as he opened his front door Saturday night was not the intended target, police say.
The St. Clair County State's Attorney has charged 36 year old Dashon Hinkle with first-degree murder in the shooting of John Fath Senior.
Belleville police say Hinkle had gone to Fath's home in the 400 block of North 40th Street to "pay a visit" to the victim's son, John Fath Junior.
Police say the junior Fath and Hinkle both have long criminal records.
Hinkle is jailed on a $2 million bond.
Belleville hosting film shoot next Friday
BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP) — Belleville is going Hollywood.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports that filming of a new movie required the public square in the southwestern Illinois city east of St. Louis to be closed to traffic for about an hour Friday.
The film, titled "Belleville," is by Ted Trentman, a Belleville native who typically makes movies closer to his Los Angeles digs. But Trentman opted to use his hometown as the setting for his latest work.
There's no immediate word about the movie's plot or when the film will be released.
"Sovereign citizen" convicted of bilking IRS of more than $600,000
EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. (AP) - A southwestern Illinois man who insisted he was not bound by U.S. tax laws faces up to two decades in federal prison after being found guilty of falsely claiming hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax refunds.
A federal jury on Wednesday convicted 47 year old Destry Marcotte of Belleville of four counts of filing false claims for federal tax refunds.
Federal prosecutors say evidence presented at trial showed that Marcotte submitted the false claims for refunds for years, claiming a total of more than $600,000.
Marcotte claimed to be a "sovereign citizen," contending he was not subject to U.S. tax laws.
After the jury's verdict, Marcotte was ordered detained pending his Jan. 17 sentencing.
Former metro-east title service firm owner accused of theft
BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP) - The owner of a former license-and-title service in the metro-east is accused of duping more than $30,000 from clients.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports St. Clair County prosecutors charged 52 year old Brian Rainbolt on Tuesday with felony theft and a misdemeanor count of not having a state license as a remittance agent.
Rainbolt's business, Duffy's License and Title Service in Belleville, has been closed since police descended upon it in May while investigating complaints involving vehicle titles and registrations.
Rainbolt allegedly pocketed payments for titles, registrations or other state fees instead of turning the money over to the state to complete the legal transaction.
Online court records don't show whether Rainbolt has an attorney. He does not have a listed home telephone number.
State cites Belleville for flawed emergency plan
BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP) - Illinois state regulators have cited the city of Belleville for gaps in its planning for tornadoes and other emergencies.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports the Illinois Department of Labor investigated after an alderwoman's complaint when tornado sirens sounded during a City Hall meeting and no effort was made to move people to safety.
The Department of Labor conducted interviews in early June and determined employees lack training on the city's emergency plan. In a July 17 citation, the department gave Mayor Mark Eckert until Aug. 21 to submit a new written emergency plan.
Eckert says that plan has been written and he's hoping to start drills this month at City Hall. The mayor says he wants the new plan approved by the City Council on Monday.
Belleville store target of smash and grab
A Belleville clothing store is the latest target of a smash and grab. This happened around 4:30 this morning at Hays Top Style clothing on West Main at North 95th.
The front window was smashed. A witness saw someone leaving in a full size maroon vehicle heading west on Main.
UPDATE: 11 yr old shot and killed in Belleville by 6 yr old
The St. Clair County States Attorney is considering charges after a six year old child got a hold of a gun and shot an 11 year old boy in Belleville Tuesday night.
Belleville police spokesman Mark Heffernan says it happened when three children were playing upstairs in a home during a family barbecue. Police say the handgun didn't belong to the owners of the house but may have come from someone who was staying there.
Eleven year old Leonard Smith, Jr. was shot in the head and died on the way to the hospital.
Police say Smith lived in East St. Louis and was visiting the family in Belleville.
Scott AFB pilots test out cockpit iPads
MASCOUTAH, Ill. (AP) - Pilots at a southwestern Illinois Air Force base are decluttering cockpits, swapping pounds of paper maps and bulky flight manuals for iPads Minis.
The Belleville News-Democrat reports the experiment involves C-21A planes at Scott Air Force Base.
Typically, each plane has about 50 pounds of paper on board, including maps, navigational charts and flight manuals. The printouts must be replaced every two months because they're continually updated.
That costs money: about $25,000 a year in printing costs alone, plus the additional fuel that's consumed because of the weight.
Maj. Jared Detloff is one of the pilots testing the 11 ounce tablet, which he velcros to a control yolk in the cockpit. He says there's been a learning curve to using the tablet, but so far it has been well-received.
Fire destroys a Belleville fitness center
Fire has destroyed the LivRite Fitness Center in the 1000 block of Carlyle. Firefighters remain at the scene (6:45am).
The building is considered a complete loss. Fire crews are still dealing with a hot spot. Smoke can be seen coming through a portion of the roof. The fire call came in just after 11:00pm Wednesday night. When firefighters arrived, flames were already threw the roof. The business was closed. No one was hurt.
Fire officials say the cause of the fire is still under investigation. But officials say a janitor has reported hearing popping sounds shortly before the fire broke out, so an electrical fire is suspected. No one was injured in that blaze.
Belleville to require test to purchase fireworks
Just in time for the 4th of July, there are new requirements for anyone looking to purchase fireworks in Belleville.
Consumers have to show proof they have completed a 15 minute safety class. Illinois has a statewide ban on fireworks. Local communities can vote to allow fireworks and other pyrotechnics, but only residents who have completed the test can purchase them.
The Illinois State Fire Marshal has the safety class on their website. The Belleville Fire Department will administer the class and hopes to have it online later this month.

We'd Queue, Too! See Grace Coddington's London Book Signing
Sure to be at the top of many a fashion-fan's Christmas wish list is a copy of Grace Coddington's autobiography "Grace: A Memoir". The flame-haired creative director of US Vogue has been an icon in the industry for decades, and we (amongst many others) can't wait to get our paws on her sure-to-be-a-best-seller book. The queue started outside Browns in London well before the 11am signing was due to begin, and the first 300 copies sold out in hours — leaving Random House staff to frantically re-stock the store. Of writing the autobiography (with the help of co-author Michael Roberts) Grace said, "Funnily enough, the most emotional part was a reading I did for the audio [version], and I got emotional then. It was really weird that I'd been able to talk my way through it and be fine, but then when I read it, like when my sister died and things, suddenly I teared up. That was a long time ago." Dymocks has hard cover copies available now, so we suggest you click to it before they sell out!

With his burnt finger becoming more thickened and blistered, Rafael Nadal has bowed out of Cincinnati, falling easily to the in form Mardy Fish. Fish, who won 6-3, 6-4, later said "It's gonna be cool to tell my kids one day that I beat Rafael Nadal."
Fish put on an impressive service display, hitting 12 aces and doing a good job of keeping Nadal off balance. Nadal's average result wasn't aided by fatigue after being on court for almost five hours yesterday with two burnt, heavily strapped fingers. Nadal seemed unusually tired for a man who hasn't played much tennis in recent weeks despite being one of the fittest men on the tour.
If Fish can now scalp Andy Murray in the semifinals it will be his fourth consecutive final. Mardy is now the most in form player apart from Novak Djokovic on the tour. "I think I can beat anyone right now. I played Novak very well last week in the final. Andy's one of the best players in the world, but I'm as confident as I've ever been."

Right now I know REST can search for random, but has the ability been added to search for things like "latest" or by date in general? I'm trying to create a plugin that searches via REST to find latest photo and latest album, but I have to first load every album/photo into json, then find the latest one out of that return. Just curious if there is some search criteria in REST I'm missing. thanks, |

LEXINGTON – A hearing officer in Kentucky has upheld a decision by the licensing committee of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to deny a racing license to the embattled trainer Richard Dutrow Jr.
The ruling, issued Monday, is largely moot because Dutrow has had his license revoked in New York and is no longer training. Still, the hearing officer's ruling is noteworthy in establishing the grounds on which the licensing committee can deny licenses to trainers and other racing participants.
The hearing officer, Robert Layton, wrote that Dutrow's long history of violations and conflicting testimony during a hearing in April 2011 provided ample grounds for the committee to deny the license, citing the powers granted to the racing commission. Referencing multiple occasions when Dutrow admitted to collecting payments from owners while under suspension and his failure to list criminal convictions on his license application, Layton wrote that Dutrow's history included acts that "would have been noteworthy as corrupt even in the olden days of the wild west, and cannot have any allowed place in any modern racing jurisdiction."
The licensing committee denied the application several months after the New York State Racing and Wagering Board suspended Dutrow for 10 years. Dutrow immediately appealed that ruling, and he continued to train until January of 2013, when he had exhausted all of his appeals in the New York court system.
He is a very bad trainer to want to miss treat any horse buy injections and he got what he deserves I pray to god that these greedy trainers that do this get more of the same . No names at this time they know who they are and God don't like ugly!! A victory for the Horses at last. He belongs in a Horror film cause he is a monster on the loose. Jail time wouldn't hurt him either.
All those years breaking the rules and thumbing your nose to those on the Racing Board in those hearings have finally caught upwith you, its just too bad you weren't banned for life which is what should have been done in the first place to end this circus that is now going on. You give the Sport Of Kings a bad rap and you have blackened the eye of Horse Racing for the last time. Good ridance idiot seek another way to make a living not involving racing. Those that support you should be ashamed of themselves
Guys like Dutrow give horse racing a bad rap. There are some good honest trainers who know how to train a horse where he knows how to cheat. He's just like the other people in sports who don't believe in fairness and concience. It's all about winning, at no cost, and about the "me" factor.
Tricky Dick admitted to training St. Liam and Wild Desert whilst under suspension, yet his current horses went to his girlfriend, a former jockey of his, and a close friend. The more things change...
Some good news for a change. We have noticed less of a "stench" in New York, but work still needs to be done.
Horse racing is as a corrupt industry as hedge funds. The constant search to weed out
unscrupulous trainers will always be an ongoing task.
You cannot win frequently especially on the claiming circuit, unless you use dubious training methods or procure inside information.
I prefer to find races where Jamie Ness, Scott Lake, etc don not have horses entered.
Naive though it may be,I'll give some trainers the benefit of the doubt unless proven otherwise..
Uh, please continue. They got about another 5 in the top list to nabbed now.
this is very funny because mr o'neil as just as bad as dutrow and does one ever talk about mr todd p??? why do u tink he wins 40% in fl and 15 every where esle n look at the list of 2 and 3 years that always break down!!!!
Unfortunatly we haven't heard the last from Mr. Dutrow, hope his brother stays out of this. Trainers need to be dealt with strongly in all jurisdictions across the nation and have the same penalties. Good for horse racing, good for handicappers and especially good for fans.
do you really think he is going to stop training in the corrupt racing world ? are dutrow's and frankel's students training the same way ?
Best Bets
FULMERIZED should win second time out. He chased a fast pace in a highly rated special-weight in his debut, and faded in the lane. He drops from MSW to $50k maiden-claimer, adds blinkers and should be long gone. ROCKED TWICE broke slowly and finished third in a minor stakes last out in Arizona. The Arizona-bred drops in for a tag for the productive trainer-jockey team of Kory Owens and Kayla Stra. VEGAS STREET broke slowly from the rail in his debut at Santa Anita. He faces easier and landed an outside post. Improvement is likely.

Sony's Shape-Shifting, Windows 8-Powered VAIO Duo 11 Caught In Leaked Images
Microsoft's Windows 8-powered surface tablet may be nabbing all the headlines (at least partially because some of Microsoft's myriad hardware partners were miffed by the company's decision to make it in the first place), but a newly-revealed convertible device from Sony seems like it may be able to give the Surface a run for its money. PocketNow managed to score some images of the… Read More

The Vaio Y series, which actually debuted at the beginning of the year at 13.3 inches, will now live life as a happy, productive 11.6 incher. (Though the old 13.3 incher should… Read More

Sony Japan teases "VAIO New Ultra Mobile"
Remember Sony Japan's unusual promotion campaign for an 8-inch netbook (or ultra-mobile PC, as the Japanese like to call these devices) from December 2008? The target group was amused with the campaign. And it appears the marketing coup helped Sony actually sell the Vaio P, as the company today updated its Japanese site with yet another teaser for yet another "mysterious" netbook. Read More

New Vaio Z to sport "Quad" SSD in RAID 0?
This is an interesting development. The latest Vaios leaked out a little while ago, and for the most part they were what one would expect: improved performance, better battery life, that sort of thing.

If the chipset and… Read More
Sony prepping touchscreen Vaios for Windows 7
Looks like the work Microsoft has put into making Windows 7 touch-friendly is paying off. Sony (and doubtless many others) are looking forward to offering touch-based designs.

That's good news for everybody — except those of us who can't afford the entire Vaio lineup. Read More

The ultra-portable Sony VAIO TT laptop gets torn apart

Being a part of Handmade Living - forever immortalised in print!
I am currently working on a range of cool products for boys which include t-shirts and shorts. They are favourites of my son at the moment too!

text: Shoot Out this old song drifts into a saloon, and we are friends. you and I, that is, and the song embraces. we're drinking boiling mad whisky, sweet as dirt. your words are icebergs that come to me across the perfect distance. all white is the same. knowing this makes us hold hands. the piano invents a tinny tone, just for the fretful display of building a barn. tomorrow, that is. today, the piano is home, just as the whisky washes our souls. we sail into the daily card game, expecting any desperado to pull out a shooting iron. those are words enough. I have heard plenty and just want my say. I want your say as well, rustling in my ear. tumbleweeds roll along the dusty byway with practical assurance. I am a participant, filled with gunplay or drift. when we stop talking, the gunfire will resound. that will jangle the words we say, only to be built anew. later we will walk home, holding hands. oddly, this whole story hangs together.

Communication is key to successful information sharing throughout all stages of the process and should be considered at every stage of the process. Given below are some examples of the important role played by communications in the development of information sharing initiatives.
Leicestershire Multi Agency Information Sharing Hub
Briefing sessions for frontline practitioners were planned and led by colleagues from within Leicestershire County Council. Lasting half a day, the briefings were opened to all practitioners within the pilot area and pilot professions. The session was developed to introduce the concept; provide a broad outline of the operating procedures; and give an opportunity for questions or queries to be raised.
Senior management from the partner organisations participating in the pilot phase were also in attendance. This gave a clear message on the importance of engaging with the pilot, and demonstrated strong organisational support. Senior management were also to provide assurances to practitioners that issues or queries raised during the sessions would be addressed, and that they would be supported to participate in the pilot phase.
Melton co-location workshops
In preparation for co-location into a new building, partners participated in a series of workshops to explore attitudes to information sharing, and to develop guidance suitable for all organisations within the new location. Workshops were attended by frontline practitioners, and by senior managers; this reiterated the importance of engagement and attendance to all staff, as well as providing assurance that any agreements made during the workshops would be endorsed at senior level within their organisations.

During the summer, River House guests enjoy brunch and dinner on the restaurant's outside patio (which is heated in the shoulder seasons). Views of the mountains and tranquil marina, as well as the British Columbia sunsets, are the backdrop to River House Restaurant. Eagles are also a common sight during certain parts of the year. In the wintertime, head inside to the heated dining room, where views can be seen from behind large windows. The restaurant is located on the banks of the Delta Slough, so expect a quiet atmosphere akin to the countryside.
West Coast cuisine
The restaurant serves dishes like Jamaican Rum Ribs, halibut, free range chicken and AAA Black Angus steaks. Wine comes by the glass and in an extensive selection. For a bit more of a casual atmosphere, try the pub. Here, burgers and chicken pot pies are the specialty, along with some unique seafood options. Almost 10 varieties of draught beer are on tap, or choose from a list of over 30 martinis. A full brunch menu is also served on Sundays.
Group reservations
Hanging out at the River House Restaurant is an easy way to spend the evening. Their large flat screen TVs always have the game on, even if it's a pay-per-view program. Game nights are also time for super cheap wings, so come hungry. Small groups can reserve their table online for convenience, while crowds of eight or more must call the restaurant to ensure they can accommodate you.
Reservations: Accepted

Timi Yuro
Timi Yuro
The little girl with the big voice, Timi Yuro was America's finest white soul singer of the 1960s. Her million-selling debut single, "Hurt," introduced a performer of such profound poignancy and depth that many listeners assumed she was a man, an African-American, or both, and while Yuro never again achieved the same commercial heights, her finest records deserve mention in the same breath as Aretha Franklin, Irma Thomas, and the other soul queens of the era. Born Rosemarie Timotea Aurro in Chicago on August 4, 1940, she was the product of an Italian-American family that owned a local restaurant; as a child she received voice lessons, and according to legend, her nanny also snuck her into the Windy City's legendary blues clubs, where Timi (a childhood nickname) witnessed life-altering live appearances by singers Dinah Washington and Mildred Bailey. After adopting the phonetic spelling of their surname, the Yuro family relocated to Los Angeles in 1952, where Timi studied under voice coach Dr. Lillian Goodman. By the middle of the decade, Yuro was performing in nightclubs, much to the chagrin of her parents. However, her subsequent performances at their Hollywood restaurant Alvoturnos would not only pull back the eatery from the brink of bankruptcy, but vault it into the ranks of Tinseltown's hottest destinations.

Here is how it works: The wheel of friction is an exciting game that offers Tootsies customers the opportunity to win cash and prizes. The main prize is a progressive jackpot that has reached $5,500.00. The jackpot is increased by $250.00 every week until someone wins. There are 2 spin times daily. At that time, number cards are randomly passed out to our customers. When every customer has received a number card, the computer randomly generates a number (within the range of numbers passed out) and displays it on a large plasma screen viewable throughout the club. When a winning number is called, that person gives the "main wheel" a spin. If the "main wheel" spin lands anywhere besides the "jackpot" space, the customer is awarded the prize of that space. If the "main wheel" spin lands on the "jackpot" space, the customer then proceeds to the "jackpot wheel". The winning customer then gives the "jackpot wheel" a spin. If the "jackpot wheel" spin lands on the "Jackpot" space, the jackpot is won. All other spaces on the "jackpot wheel" are free drink prizes.
Main Wheel Spaces: Jackpot (3 spaces), $100 Cash, $100 Bartab, $100 Tootsie Dollars, $100 Gift Certificate for a Tatoo, $75 Bartab, $50 Bartab, $25 Bartab, 10 Free Drinks, 6 Free Drinks, 5 Free Drink, 3 Free Drinks, $20 Cash, $15 Cash (2 spaces), $10 Cash Jackpot Wheel Spaces: Jackpot (1 space), 1 Free Drink (23 spaces)

Liberals looking to discredit activists who protested against the health care bill have resorted to recruiting individuals who will crash tea party rallies in the coming weeks. One such group calls itself "Crash the Tea Party." Here is a description of the group from the site:
Jason Levin of Portland, Oregon is said to be the organizer of this group. He has written on his twitter account that Michelle Malkin wrote about the group on her blog earlier today. One question remains, though. if Mr. Levin and his comrades need to fabricate hateful rhetoric at tea party protests, does that not mean that liberals like himself cannot find racist rhetoric at these events to begin with? Furthermore, he has just discredited any accusation of racism toward tea party activists by admitting he wants to smear the movement with his group's explicit intention of lying about themselves and tea party activists to the media.

The experience on the train was very enjoyable. Our car hosts were very entertaining and knowledgeable and made the trip interesting.

Very informative tour, our tour guide (Kevin) was not only entertaining but very knowledgable in regards to the local environment and especially the ruins.

The train ride was OK. We knew there would not be a lot to see before getting to the Canyon but we were comfortable with the ride. The Grand Canyon can only be described as Glorious! We have been many times but are always amazed! The buffet lunch is not something I would do again but the rim tour with the wonderful bus drivers is a must! Grat time!

Our grandchildren, 9 and 7 years old, have not stop talking about the trip!
Doing what: Grand Canyon Railway Adventure Package
This was by far one of the best tour trips I have taken. The friendliness of the Railway staff and helpfulness is amazing. The TSA workers Pam at the ticket counter and Kathy on the train where awesome. I would highly recommend this adventure to all. In fact, I'm planning my next trip to the south west rim.
Doing what: Grand Canyon Railway Adventure Package
Everything turned out wonderful. The train trip was definitely the way to travel to the Grand Canyon. Our granddaughters enjoyed it thoroughly and even remarked that "the trip to the Grand Canyon" was the highlight of their trip to Arizona. The tour bus operator was excellent and kept us well informed and amused on our tour of the Grand Canyon . I would highly recommend this as a great way to sit back and relax and enjoy the Grand Canyon.

Pete, our Pink Tour driver, was great with the 4 kids on our tour. They loved his comments, and the way he prepared them for the roller coaster like ride. Pete never talked down to the kids, and gave them, and their parents, great info on the sights. Can't say enough good things about the Pink Jeep tour people. :)
Doing what: Broken Arrow Jeep Tour
Loved this tour! We booked first class, as well as the coach tour. Train was very comfortable and fun, while the bus tour was informative, comfortable and easy. Plenty of time to look at the canyon. Would recommend this to everyone!

The argument that people who can't have children aren't allowed to be married only works if it excludes all couples who can't have children. Once you allow one couple who can't have children to marry it becomes Sometimes people who can't have children aren't allowed to marry.
You can't create loopholes for people who you still think should be allowed to marry and not for those you think shouldn't and still have the argument stand.
It doesn't take a huge percentage of married couples not having children to dwarf the number of homosexual couples. Currently on 1/4 of households consist of a married couple and their biological children, the only arrangement that some would have. Step parenting and adoption are apparently not reasons to marry either, A both gay and straight couples can do that.

Best Empanada
2011 FinalistMaria Empanada
5209 W. Mississippi Ave., Lakewood, CO 80226
(303) 934-2221
It took Lorena Cantarovici -- the owner of Maria Empanada -- a long time to adapt her mother's Argentine empanada recipes and make it work in Colorado, but she finally mastered it, and with excellent results. Her baked pastries feature crusts at once brittle and chewy encasing spicy green olive-studded shredded beef, juicy shredded chicken, gooey ham and cheese and, our very favorite, sweet corn infused with the savory earthiness of mild bell peppers and a hint of heat from crushed red-pepper flakes.

- Lunch in a Box: Building a Better Bento - http://lunchinabox.net -
Speed cooking technique: Multi-broiling
Posted By Biggie On April 4, 2007 @ 2:15 am In bento, for kids, glutenfree, lactose free, onigiri or sushi, potatoes, recipe, rice, tips, tutorial or how to | 323 Comments
Morning prep time: 7 minutes each (14 minutes for two lunches). Today's speed tip is a variation on the multitasking theme: broil multiple items at once on a foil-lined pan for fast and easy cleanup (oven or toaster oven).
While I worked on the rest of the lunch, I broiled a pan of asparagus with sesame oil, and little foil cups of shimeji mushrooms topped with a squirt of ketchup and parsley ('recipe' below). Leftover refrigerated rice was warmed in the microwave, shaped into little onigiri in a mold, then wrapped with [1] pre-cut nori or rolled in black sesame seeds. I blotted dry and cut up some leftover Chilean stewed beef lengua from dinner, as excess sauce can get into other dishes and lead to [2] bacterial growth when the lunch is kept at room temperature. Little tomato "gap fillers" stabilize the lunch for transport, and add nice natural color (aiming for five natural food colors for good nutrition).
Here are the two items ready to go under the broiler. Japanese bento cookbooks often tout broiling all three lunch dishes at once (1 protein main and 2 veggie subs), but I already had leftover beef in the fridge so it wasn't necessary today. I stirred the asparagus (with sesame oil, salt and pepper) once about two minutes in, then took it out together with the mushrooms after about 4-5 minutes total cook time.
Bug's lunch was pretty much the same, with the addition of some leftover fingerling potatoes and a little plastic pick for little hands. I used up all of our leftover rice making the onigiri and didn't have quite enough starch according to the [4] Japanese nutritional guidelines for bentos, so in with the potatoes. New development, though — Bug decided today that he's no longer a fan of black sesame seeds, so together we picked most of them off before the little rice balls were 'acceptable'. Sigh. Little things like that make me really appreciate what a remarkably unpicky eater Bug normally is.
Broiled Mushroom Cup Recipe
1. Place two foil muffin liners inside each other for extra stability, then put on a baking sheet. You can also use shallow, [5] extra-thick foil cups for baking.
2. Add a handful of mushrooms, top with a squirt of ketchup.
3. Put under broiler (or in a toaster oven) for 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Let these cool before packing up into a closed lunch container to avoid condensation for two reasons:
Some bento boxes (such as [6] Bug's 430ml box above) have a little steam vent on the lid that you can open to avoid the vacuum effect.

So invaluable was the invention of paper and brush (pen) that they were considered two of the Four Treasures of China (along with ink and inkstone). Previous to these inventions, man recorded their history and thoughts with chiseled cave drawings or knots tied into silk ropes. So precious was this knowledge that the Chinese guarded their secret closely and had to be conquered by the Ottoman Turks before their inventions could be shared with the Western world(2). And it was China's abundant resource, bamboo that played an integral role in the development of both paper and brush.
The earliest known record of paper is seen in about 105 C.E when Ts'ai Lun, an official of the Imperial Court, offered his invention to the Emperor. The papermaking process itself was arduous. It took five months alone to turn the bamboo stems into pulp to make the paper. Once the stems were soaked, rotted, salted and steamed, they were then ready to become paper. The paper itself was made by stretching this pulp on an oblong bamboo frame with a fine mesh that two workers moved endways and diagonally into the liquid contents. When it was brought to the surface, the film that had collected on the top was submitted to pressure and then dried. It is actually this bamboo mold that is still used today to make paper that helped modernize the papermaking process in its day. Because it was made with the sturdy bamboo material, it could be re-used to shape the paper, eliminating the need to construct a new mold for each turn. Even when the binding fibers on the screen warp, the bamboo can be salvaged and worked into new screens(1).
And what is paper without its pen? The brush is said to have been invented by Meng Tien, a general under a Ch'in emperor who reigned from 221 – 209 B.C.(1). Bamboo was the ideal material to use as it combined the sturdiness and lightness necessary to use a brush. These qualities proved significant as the bamboo brush was more than a writing instrument to the Chinese; it was also an essential element to the art of calligraphy. Calligraphy is still an art form practiced today and more than a means of communication, it is seen as a way of expressing one's soul. The traits of the bamboo brush allow masters to make the quick, forceful strokes needed to make the characters.
With the rise of the computer age, many thought that our demand for paper would have decreased but instead, we still see a popular use of paper products around the world. More and more, American paper mills are looking to bamboo as a source for modern paper making. With the deforestation of our hardwood forests, paper mills are running out of our raw material. Because bamboo is a quickly growing plant (it reaches maturity in 3-5 years and when left in the soil, the stem can start a new shoot on its' own) that can thrive in damaged and depleted soil, bamboo is an ideal resource for our paper-making use.
While some have made claims that bamboo is not an eco-friendly resource for paper making (the most recent I found was on modernhemp.com), upon reading it's easy to see that the claims were based more on the behavior of man and their rush into the isolated provinces and exploitation of resources. If cultivated wisely (as suggested in the recent post Bamboo Farming – A Cash Crop for The U.S.?), bamboo is a smart and efficient choice for a renewable crop in the United States.
There is a saying in Vietnam that "when the bamboo is old, the bamboo sprouts appear," meaning that when one generation is gone, their younger ones will be there to carry on their traditions. How fitting is it that bamboo, one of our most renewable resources that can be used to make everything from paper to bamboo clothing, will be the source to record our histories continuing generations.
