Description of Invention: This application describes a composition and method for treating inflammatory bowel disease or other autoimmune diseases. The composition utilizes a vector which contains a first promoter which controls the expression of a regulatory transcription factor and a second inducible promoter which controls the expression of the gene of interest. The preferred gene of interest encodes an isoform of TGF-beta such as TGF-beta1 or TGF-beta3. The isoform of TGF-beta does not have to be hTGF-beta and can be a latent or active isoform of TGF-beta. The preferred inducible promoter is TRE-CMV which can be induced using doxycycline. The usefulness of the composition for treating autoimmune diseases is demonstrated in the application in a murine model of inflammatory bowel disease in which intestinal inflammation was abrogated by the administration of a plasmid vector encoding active TGF-beta. The composition may be administered by a variety of delivery systems and intranasal delivery is exemplified.

Welcome to the 353rd Edition of my series. I am now in Philadelphia visiting my friends Ashley and Stephen. I am releasing this much later than usual because I have not been able to get to a wireless location until now. I will be leaving Friday evening to fly back to Muncie. We are also looking to get the first episode of DOPE HOUSE done shortly after I get back to Indiana. Now I will get to my selections for the week.
Beerfest (2006): This is a comedy from the Broken Lizard group and Jay Chandrasekhar wrote, directed, and co-starred in what you might guess is about beer. Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske star as brothers Jan and Todd whose grandfather has died. They soon travel to Munich to spread his ashes during Oktoberfest. Along with some friends, they come upon a secret beer competition where some Germans accuse their grandfather of stealing their drink recipe. They soon decide to join in this beer drinking competition. This movie is not for everyone and is quite absurd at times. Cloris Leachman is rather amusing in her cameo and Mo'Nique is pretty funny in her role. There is a lot of over-the-top action but it was still a pretty fun comedy. This is something to watch at a party where there is already a lot of drinking going on and maybe learn some more games and get some laughs.
There Will Be Blood (2007): Paul Thomas Anderson directed and wrote the screenplay based on a novel by Upton Sinclair. Daniel Day-Lewis stars as 20th century miner Daniel Plainview who works hard to make money but takes advantage of towns and their oil. His partner is his son H.W. who proves to be a good partner. Paul Dano co-stars as a local preacher named Eli Sunday who is also out for the oil which sets off quite a rivalry between the two. This is not an upbeat film by any means but is a great story of greed and betrayal. Dano was very good as the preacher who appears to have his own motives and Day-Lewis is good in his role of a man corrupted by his greed. This is one of the best of that year and the decade possibly but is hard to really explain through words so if you hate my first selection, surely this will put you back on my side.
War Horse (2011): This is part two of my two-part Steven Spielberg series which last week featured his animated movie of the same year THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN. So my first one of this week is an outrageous comedy, my second was is very dark but this one while violent is more inspirational. This movie takes place during World War I. Jeremy Irvine stars as Albert whose father bought a horse that was a thoroughbred instead of a plough animal much to the dismay of the matriarch of the family. Albert talks his parents into keeping the horse so that he can train him and calls him Joey making them inseparable. Soon, his family falls into some hard times making his father sell the horse to the British cavalry where the horse gets captured by the Germans and changes hands other times bringing inspiration to those around him including another horse who become best friends. Albert soon becomes old enough to enlist and soon reunites with the horse doing whatever possible to get out alive with Joey. This was a very enjoyable film for me. Emily Watson, Tom Hiddleston, David Thewlis, and many others co-star in this film. I found this to be a very beautiful story and a good depiction of WWI.
The Tell-Tale Heart (1941): This is my short film of the week which is based on the story from Edgar Allen Poe. In this story, a young man is being abused and degraded by his employer which drives him to the edge and ends up killing his employer. After the killing, he is convinced he can still hear a heart beating which makes him more and more nervous. The performances of the actors were very good and is a good telling of the Poe story which I recorded from TCM.
The Real Bruce Lee (1973): This is in a sense a documentary which was released shortly after his death in the same year. What the movie mostly focuses upon in the beginning is footage of Lee acting when he was a child which I did not know he acted when he was in Hong Kong. After his death spawned many imitators and then shows footage of the two most known impersonators in Bruce Li and Dragon Lee. I have seen quite a bit of movies from the 70s and today and I do prefer the martial arts of today like with Jet Li and Donnie Yen but I do know that Bruce Lee is the one who made the genre popular. It was very interesting seeing Lee in his younger days and can be of interest to Lee fans.
Mr. Moto Takes a Chance (1938): This is a character made famous by Peter Lorre who is a Japanese detective while Lorre was not Japanese, it was okay in those days. Moto ends up in a jungle village in Cambodia to investigate some murders and poses as an ineffectual archaeologist and as a holy man. He does a very good job of portraying the people he disguises. Mr. Moto was created after Charlie Chan's creator died and needed a good Asian character to continue and then to make movies with non-Asians. This was still a pretty good murder mystery and Lorre good in his role as always. This is the fourth in the Mr. Moto series. Good for classic movie buffs and Lorre fans.
Elvis (2005): This is actually a mini-series which has two 90 minute episodes and as you might have guessed is based on the King of Rock and Roll. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers stars as Elvis and focuses on his late teen years up to a comeback concert in 1968. Randy Quaid co-stars as Elvis' manager Colonel Tom Parker who was very money-oriented but did not always have the best interests in Elvis in mind. Parker was the one who took Elvis to international stardom and got him in some of those movies. According to this series, the movie studio put him in those cheesy musical movies to make the money necessary to fund a more dramatic project. Other events this movie focuses on is his meeting and marriage with Priscilla, being drafted into the military, and his troubled life on the road with drugs and alcohol. Rose McGowan plays the part of actress Ann-Margret. This is a great rock biography with Rhys-Meyers playing the part to perfection as far as his portrayal and mannerisms go. The music is of the actual Elvis singing the he lips syncs. This is the first film where the Presley estate let his actual music get used. This tv movie beats out many actual rock films and is worth the three hours. A great double feature with friends in my opinion would be this followed by BUBBA HO-TEP.
The Rickshaw Man (1958): This is my Japanese film of the week which was directed by Hiroshi Inagaki and stars Japanese legend Toshiro Mifune. Mifune plays the title character whose name is Matsugoro who is poor but very proud and hard working. He by chance saves the life of a young boy who becomes friends with the family but the father dies. He spends his off time helping the single mother and her boy. There still seem to be conflicts between their class and does not always feel he fits in no matter how hard he tries but never gives up. This is a story that is driven by character and a good script and in the Mifune films I have seen is actually my favorite of his. There is a later scene where Mifune shows off his great drumming skills. This is a rather sad film at times but one many can relate to including myself relating some to Matusgoro. This is something I recorded from TCM and am very glad I did so.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (1978): This is my cult classic for the week. This takes place in a small town where the tomatoes have a mind of their own and start killing people. This movie is not very good but that's what makes it so good to watch. It does have a great theme some of the title. One thing I did kind of like is that the tomatoes were introduced in the beginning of the movie and did no kind of lead-up to them. They got to the point right in the beginning. One thing I was not expecting were musical numbers. The tomatoes made some strange noises that sounded like Ewoks. This movie had quite a bit to it so if you're not too concerned about plot and have a lot of friends over, this may be a great one to check out.
Ordinary Decent Criminal (2000): This movie takes place in Dublin. Kevin Spacey stars as criminal mastermind Michael Lynch who is very publicity hungry and more concerned about his image than the money he makes. In his home life, he is married to two women and has two children and his family seems to support his livelihood. Stephen Dillane stars as Noel who is determined to get Lynch convicted but can never produce the necessary evidence to do so. Colin Farrell, Linda Fiorentino, and Christoph Waltz co-star in this film. The middle word in the title reflects the movie in my opinion. Spacey is fun as the flamboyant criminal and does a good job with the Irish accent. The execution of the crimes was also very well done.
Well, that is it for this week. Tell me what you like and what you dislike. Stay tuned for next week which so far includes Steve Buscemi, Christina Hendricks, Kristin Chenoweth, Peter Dinklage, Natalie Portman, and many others.

Besides my love for chocolate and peanut butter, I have another love that's not on the sweet-side: BBQ. I even worked at a BBQ restaurant when I was in high school! I've always loved the sweet and tangy taste of BBQ and the burnt wood smell from the smoking. It always makes my mouth water and I'm obsessed with BBQ sauce. Jason says I use BBQ sauce like people use ketchup. It's true — I use BBQ sauce on mostly everything and anything you can dip (well, obviously not like a banana or strawberries lol). Chicken tenders for me are always coated in honey mustard and BBQ sauce, my fries are always dipped in BBQ sauce, my steaks are never in A1, I dip them in BBQ. Yeah, it's kind of an obsession and by some people's standards, they think it's gross. I always have a bottle of BBQ sauce on hand too. I might as well start jarring my own, right?
When I saw this recipe, I was so excited to try it. 3 ingredients and you basically let it cook itself. There's hardly any work involved! Not to mention, it turned out FREAKING AWESOME. It was the most tender, moist, and flavorful BBQ shredded pork I've ever had. I seriously was contemplating opening up a BBQ joint after this (kidding). It helps too if you have awesome BBQ sauce. You must try making this yourself. It will become a regular on your menu and it's seriously the easiest and most hands-free recipe out there. You basically let the slow-cooker do all the work! I let mine cook overnight while I was sleeping and I woke up to the most marvelous smell! Although, at 5:30am, it wasn't exactly what I really wanted to smell, but nonetheless, it smelled great!
Adapted from Girl Who Ate Everything
3-Ingredient BBQ Pulled Pork
2 lbs. pork tenderloin
12 oz. (1 can) of root beer
18 oz. (1 bottle) of your favorite BBQ sauce
4 hamburger buns, if you're making it a sandwich
- Put the pork in the slow cooker.
- Pour the root beer over the pork.
- Turn your slow cooker on low and let it cook for 6-7 hours.
- After 6-7 hours, take out your pork and set it on a cutting board.
- Dump out the root beer from the slow cooker.
- Shred your pork. It'll probably fall apart easily. You can do this with a fork. I did mine with the tongs I used to get the pork out.
- Put the shredded pork back in the slow cooker and pour all the BBQ sauce on top. Mix it around to coat every piece of pork.
- Let this cook for about another 45 minutes to an hour.
- Serve with warm hamburger buns and don't be shy with the filling!
Note: I cooked mine overnight, shredded the pork in the morning before work and put it in a tupperware container in the fridge. When I got home, I placed the pork back in the slow cooker and did steps 7-10. You obviously can do this however you want. I don't know your schedule! Just wanted to point out that you don't have to do this altogether. You basically add the BBQ sauce and cook prior to serving.

For Facebook Ads, How Targeted Is Too Targeted?
It's no secret that Facebook in recent years has become a data company. The more data Facebook has about its users — such as gender, education, likes, and location — the better it can serve targeted ads.

Whereas many users see ads that are wholly irrelevant, many others feel that Facebook can be too invasive when it comes to advertising.

Towamencin Burglar Arrested
A Philadelphia man is charged with breaking into a house on Old Forty Foot Road in Towamencin Township. 39-year-old Gary Kieffer is being held at Montgomery County Prison in lieu of $50,000 cash bail. Investigators say he used a crowbar to gain access into the house and brandished it in a menacing way when confronted by the homeowner in the kitchen. The suspect fled at that point but was tracked down by police in Allentown a day after the burglary. Kieffer is charged with a laundry list of offenses including robbery and making terroristic threats. Towamencin police say he could be linked with other burglaries in the township and additional charges could be filed.

It's not summer without ice cream. (Actually, it's not any time of the year to me without ice cream, but that's another blog.) It's also not summer without skimpier outfits and trips to the beach, so I try to have my cone, sundae, or single scoop without overdoing it. Here are some tasty ideas-and surprising facts-so you can indulge your ice cream jones, guilt free:
Note: One scoop is ½ cup and calorie counts for ice cream are estimates based on several popular brands.
1.) Order two flavors of gelato
For gelato and ice cream, most fruit flavors (like strawberry, raspberry, or pineapple) have 30 to 50 fewer calories than their chocolate or vanilla counterparts, so you can afford two scoops instead of one!
Try this: Order 1 scoop of fruity gelato like strawberry (180)
Top with 1 scoop of rich gelato like chocolate or pistachio (230)
Total calories: 410
Cool off with these 20 refreshing, fresh-fruit smoothies.
2.) Get a small version of the real thing
Don't be fooled by "light" ice cream-it refers to fat, not calories. In fact, a large serving of light soft-serve chocolate ice cream will set you back 444 calories! Enjoy a small portion with a topping instead.
Try this: Order a small (1 cup) soft-serve light chocolate-vanilla twist ice cream (243) on a plain cone (17)
Total calories: 260
Enjoy your summer backyard cookouts and maintain your swimsuit figure with these BBQ recipes.
3.) Craving volume? Stick with sorbet
Choose sorbet and you'll get 3 scoops for your calorie budget! Just be aware that most sorbet contains high fructose corn syrup, so you don't want to order it too often.
Try this: 3 scoops of fruity sorbet (360)
Total calories: 360
4.) Skip the sprinkles-and go for the candy
It may be hard to believe, but ½ chopped Heath bar actually contains fewer calories than 2 tablespoons of sprinkles (120) !
Try this: Order 1 scoop of chocolate ice cream (260)
Top with half of a chopped-up Heath Bar (105)
Total calories: 365
Try these breakfasts that will keep you full till lunch and curb your snacking.
A 1-cup serving of frozen yogurt (220) still has 40 fewer calories than ½ cup of regular vanilla ice cream (260), saving you room for a cone and sprinkles.
Try this: Start with a 1-cup serving of low-fat or fat-free frozen yogurt (220) in a sugar cone (50) Roll the ice cream in 2 Tbsp rainbow or chocolate sprinkles (120)
Total calories: 390
6.) Eat peanut butter cup solo
Peanut butter ice cream adds 90 calories more than plain chocolate or vanilla. Skip the toppings to stay trim-it's rich enough without them, anyway.
Try this: 1 scoop peanut butter-flavored ice cream like Peanut Butter Cup or Chocolate Peanut Butter (350)
Total calories: 350
Save room for dessert with these yummy, lower-cal meals

Bacon Wrapped E.L. Fudge. Yup, I Went There.
I had one random slice of bacon and some double stuffed Keebler EL Fudges lying around, I think you can pretty much predict what happened.
Yup, "Elwood" (EL fudges have elf's names on them if you don't know)got wrapped in bacon. Am I becoming a parody of myself here with the whole bacon wrapped thing?
Into the oven we went Mr. Elwood the cookie at 350 for about 20 minutes.
When I took it out it appeared that there was some chocolatey filling seepage. I let the elf cool so things had a chance to firm up a little. I then sliced it on the bias to get a look at the insides.
Verdict: Upon biting into the bacon/cookie you are hit with an immediate pork flavor on the front end which morphs into a salty/chocolate flavor as you continue to chew. A little disconcerting at the incept but we finish with a fairly pleasant flavor. Not bad, not bad.
bacon wrapped,
EL Fudge,
8 comments:
When I first met my husband, B, he had just finished paying off the veterinary bill for the treatment of his roommate's cat, who had ingested most of a bacon candle that B had made. He also had made bacon perfume and bacon-chocolate cupcakes, but the cat couldn't get into the perfume bottle, and his roommates had eaten the cupcakes before the cat could get hold of them.
ReplyDeleteThis is great, I was recently thinking of doing a themed week for food (every week I will have one specific item in the recipe)...I'm thinking of going into bacon week, perhaps I will take some of your ideas.
By the way, thanks for your response previously, I have linked to your site at genkidi-usa.com
Hopefully when I open you will check it out :)

Ducks Deluxe
Ducks Deluxe
If the old scientific adage is true -- that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction -- then British pub rockers Ducks Deluxe were purely and simply a reaction. With the mid-'70s English pop scene dominated by glitter/glam rockers like Gary Glitter and Sweet or blustery, chops-heavy art rockers like Yes, Jethro Tull, and Genesis, then Ducks Deluxe represented none of the above. One of the first pub rock bands, the Ducks played basic American-style blues and boogie with remarkable panache and thorough disregard for the whims of the zeitgeist. They never were hugely popular, but the unpretentious, do-it-yourself, working-class attitude they and their contemporaries exuded (most notably seminal pub rockers Dr. Feelgood) influenced the English punk scene that was right around the corner. With friends like Dave Edmunds producing their records, the Ducks (guitarist/vocalist Sean Tyla, guitarist Martin Belmont, bassist Nick Garvey, and keyboardist Andy McMasters) came up with engaging, though not life-changing, records that celebrated the simple joys of rock & roll. Sure, much of it sounds like recycled Chuck Berry, but there's an infectious enthusiasm that the fan in you, who simply wants to hoist a pint of ale and hear some Little Richard, will love. Ironically, their biggest promotional boost in America, the Ducks Deluxe LP was released three years after they'd split up. This little bit of shift marketing came as a result of ex-Ducks going on to more prominent bands like the Motors, the Rumour, and the Tyla Gang. In 2007, the band reuinited to celebrate the 35th anniversary of their formation by playing some shows around Europe. Reinvigorated by touring, the band released Side Tracks and Smokers, their first full album of new material in over thirty years. ~ John Dougan, Rovi

Three Kingdoms 220-280 | |
The Three Kingdoms period may be the most well-known period in all of Chinese history across the chinese-speaking community. This is because of the book, The Romance of Three Kingdoms by Luo GuanZhong. This book was based on a chronicle, Sanguo Zhi, as well as many other sources such as folklores. The Romance of Three Kingdoms (Sanguo Yanyi) is one of the 4 most famous novels from ancient China. But even if there were no such book, this period would still be famous as the stories from this time have passed generations by generations and have survived centuries. The Three Kingdoms period, although only lasted 60 years (right after the fall of East Han), is one of excitement and turbulence. It has been regarded by many as the greatest period of warfare in China, a sort of golden age of chivalric campaigning and epic bouts between fierce generals. The period was a chaotic time of turbulence and instability, when warlords and tyrants ruled with the might of their armies. Their stories and some of their noble qualities still touch us today. |

Carl Fogarty puts his feet up
10:47am Tuesday 29th October 2013 in News
EAST Lancashire's very own bike legend, Carl Fogarty, is swapping footpegs for footstools and has launched his very own official Foggy footstool.
The footstool is part of Vintage 60s Motoring Legends collection and its handmade design is based on Carl's 1999 World Superbike title-winning bike, featuring the trademark Foggy Eyes logo.
Carl said: "I would be expected to say this, but the footstool is very cool and awesome quality.
"It now has pride of place in my games room and it's the first thing that people ask me about."
The footstools are available to buy now from www.vintage60.com

No Debate Analysis Here
Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 03:40PM
You may be surprised to learn that I can be bought.
I sure was.
Next week's debates, both presidential and gubernatorial, will not be analyzed in this blog. I wasn't even sure I was going to watch them, but the New Hampshire Herald has asked me to analyze them for its next edition.
And if you can believe it, the paper wants to pay me for my exclusive wisdom.
The deal is done.
This is a the free paper which appears in at least the Manchester and Concord areas (I pick it up at supermarkets). In its previous incarnation, it managed to offend me with some over the top articles, but after its hiatus, it has returned, and I actually like it now. Although right-oriented, it covers many perspectives (even kathythes appears in its pages) and is quite good.
Thus while I've offered all media free access to anything which appears in this blog, apparently the Herald wants an exclusive. It's not a great deal of money, but then $100 a year as a State Rep is not a great deal either. It's enough to pay the outrageous renewal fee Manchester TV is charging (and I'm now eligible for the senior citizen rate--I never thought live long enough to say that). Actually I'm not sure I'll sign on for another year on TV, but apparently a new career in the print media beckons. Actually it wouldn't be new...that's where I began fresh out of college, in the Plymouth area...but that's another story.
A bizarre idea just popped into my mind. I expect the Presidential debate will prove so uneventful that one could write a review in advance. Just kidding. I won't do that.
And I won't be commenting on the debates here....after all, we now know that I can be bought! (Keep that in mind, main stream media....I may need a new low paying job come job November 7).
The paper will be on the stands Oct. 5...time enough for them to correct my typos!

Rancho Peñasquitos is a community in the northeastern part of the city of San Diego, California. It is named after the first Spanish Land Grant in the County - Rancho de Los Peñasquitos. Peñasquitos means little cliffs in Spanish. It abuts Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve - an open space preserve that offers hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. The community is commonly abbreviated "PQ."
The population of PQ is approximately 55,000; it is located in ZIP code 92129. The telephone area code is 858.
Rancho Peñasquitos is roughly bounded:
- On the north by Black Mountain Ranch and Rancho Bernardo
- On the south by Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve and Mira Mesa
- On the east by Carmel Mountain Ranch, Poway, and Sabre Springs
- On the west by Torrey Highlands and Del Mar Mesa.
The highest point in the community is Black Mountain, which rises to an elevation of 1,500 feet (460 m).
Native American Kumeyaay history within the area dates back as far as 7,000 years ago. Remains of the prehistoric culture can still be found. Rancho de los Peñasquitos was present day San Diego County's first Mexican land grant, the Rancho Santa Maria de Los Peñasquitos. In 1823, one league (4,243 acres; 17 km²) was awarded to Captain Francisco María Ruiz, a Commandant of the Presidio of San Diego. This one league was at the eastern part of the Los Peñasquitos Canyon and extended into Sabre Springs and up to Rancho Bernardo. It was a way station on the Wagon road to Warner's Ranch from San Diego. From 1857 to 1860 it was a station on that road for the San Antonio-San Diego Mail Line between San Diego and Vallecito via San Pasqual, Santa Ysabel Asistencia, Warner's, and Rancho Valle de San Felipe.
According to the 2010 Census, 51,536 people resided in ZIP code 92129, a majority of which were between 18 and 65 years old.[1]
State Route 56 traverses east-west through the central portion of the community. Interstate 15 passes on the east side of Rancho Peñasquitos. Black Mountain Road is the main North-South artery, and Carmel Mountain Road/Rancho Peñasquitos Boulevard is the main East-West artery.
Community events[edit]
- Fiesta de los Peñasquitos is a community oriented street faire held on the first Sunday in May. It is organized by the Rancho Penasquitos Town Council.
- In Honor of the Fourth of July, the Rancho Penasquitos Recreation Council sponsors a fireworks show at Westview High School (which until recently was held at Mt. Carmel High School) (This show usually is held on July 3).

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Gay couple gets lots of support, but still closing Morris eatery
Morris town council weighed today, expressing regret that the owners of a local restaurant are closing it due to insults about their sexual orientation.
"In light of becoming aware there were problems and that they would be closing, we as a council along with our CAO, met for lunch at Pots N Hands to show support for this restaurant in our town," council said in a letter released today by chief administrative officer Brigitte Duerksen.
"In doing so, we made a public statement as a group that the people who represent Morris support our local businesses regardless of race, belief, and/or sexual orientation (which really should go without saying. It is very disappointing that this has become an issue in our town).
"People form opinions, towns do not. Towns are made up of diverse groups of people, and sometimes there are a few who do not understand how differences are what makes a particular town unique," said the council in the letter.
"The Town of Morris is saddened to be losing a business run by two very polite individuals, and especially under these circumstances. We appreciate the concern that has been voiced, but please remember that painting an entire town with the same intolerant brush is akin to the ignorance that made this front page news to begin with," the town council said.
Restaurant to close Saturday
Dave Claringbould said homophobia is forcing them to shut the doors of their Pots N Hands restaurant in the town of Morris, about 70 kilometres south of Winnipeg.
When they opened a restaurant in rural Manitoba, they knew some people might have a problem with them being gay. But they didn't expect to face blatant ignorance.
"We were asked if somebody was going to catch something off of the plate because we had prepared the food on it," Claringbould recalled Tuesday.
He said his partner calmly dealt with the customer and told the man he would be OK.
"We were very hurt and upset by it. Some of the narrow-minded things that have been said to us are absolutely shocking."
Even though the news coverage prompted many people in town -- and across the country -- to urge them to keep the eatery open, Claringbould said they plan to serve their last meal there April 13, just four months after the restaurant opened.
Most in community welcoming: owner
The 35-year-old Claringbould, originally from the United Kingdom, has worked in the restaurant business for 15 years. After cooking in kitchens in British Columbia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, he settled in Manitoba.
He and his partner, who does not want to be identified, lived in Winnipeg before they bought a rural property near Morris. Claringbould taught a cooking class in town, then decided to pursue his dream of running his own restaurant.
The pair opened Pots N Hands in December, serving dishes such as baked potatoes stuffed with chicken curry, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.
Claringbould said he and his partner didn't hide their relationship but didn't flaunt it either. In February, he said a group of regular customers found out they were gay and stopped coming. Others verbally attacked the couple in the restaurant and around town.
Most people in the community of 1,700 are not homophobic and have been welcoming, said Claringbould. But the others make it difficult to run a business and live there happily.
Claringbould said he and his partner previously faced homophobia when they lived in another community, which he wouldn't name. The couple stuck it out for awhile but people just wouldn't change their attitudes.
"We're not prepared to go through that again."
Resident blames 'village-idiot rednecks'
George Ifandis, who runs George's Burgers & Subs in town, said he has nothing against the eatery's owners, but understands some customers might be uncomfortable with the men's sexuality.
"A lot of people don't like it," said Ifandis. "You don't know what they're doing in the kitchen."
In a story published Tuesday, the Free Press also spoke with an older couple and a young man in Morris who said they didn't like that the restaurant owners are gay.
"They should get the hell out of here," the newspaper quoted one man as saying. "I don't really like them, the service and who they are."
One longtime resident, who asked not to be named, said she is disgusted and embarrassed by the prejudice.
"There's a couple of village-idiot rednecks, young fellas that when they grow up they'll understand how their vicious tongues can hurt people."
She said the restaurant serves fabulous food and some people even drive down from Winnipeg to eat there. "We wish they would stay and not be bullied out of here."
The president of the Morris Chamber of Commerce, Pat Schmitke, said he's hurt and disappointed.
"It's so unfortunate, because it's not what our little town is about. It's certainly, absolutely not what the majority of people's feelings are in this town."
Schmitke said it's the second time this year the community has been in the spotlight for bigotry allegations.
The town's community newspaper published editorial comments in January calling aboriginals corrupt and lazy. The Morris Mirror went out of business in March.

Heartburn and Asthma
It is estimated that more than 75% of patients with asthma also experience frequent heartburn from a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). People with asthma are twice as likely to have GERD as people who do not have asthma, especially those with treatment-resistant asthma.
GERD is the backward flow of acidic stomach content into the esophagus (acid reflux). Usually, stomach acid is kept in the stomach by a muscular ring at the bottom of the esophagus called the lower esophageal sphincter. If this sphincter becomes relaxed, it can allow stomach contents to back up into the esophagus, producing a burning sensation that is commonly referred to as heartburn. GERD can irritate asthma and damage the esophagus. It is believed that asthma attacks can also cause the sphincter to relax, making it easier for acid reflux to occur.
Sulfites are a common additive in many foods and drugs. Sulfites also occur naturally in some foods. Unfortunately, 5%-10% of people with asthma are also allergic to sulfites. An allergy is an increased sensitivity to a specific substance (called an allergen). The combination of asthma and sulfites can be dangerous. If you have asthma and sulfite allergy, eating foods or taking drugs that contain sulfites can even be life-threatening.
Read the Asthma and Sulfite Allergies article > >
Does GERD Cause Asthma?
Although studies have shown a relationship between asthma and GERD, the exact relationship is uncertain. GERD may worsen asthma symptoms, and asthma and some asthma medications may worsen GERD symptoms. Treating GERD often helps to relieve asthma symptoms, further suggesting a relationship between the two conditions.
Doctors most often look at GERD as the cause of asthma when:
- Asthma begins in adulthood, called adult-onset asthma
- Asthma symptoms get worse after a meal, after exercise, at night or after lying down
- Asthma doesn't respond to the standard asthma treatments
How Can GERD Affect My Asthma?
As previously mentioned, the exact link between the two conditions is uncertain. However, there are a few possibilities as to why GERD and asthma may coincide. One possibility is that the acid reflux irritates the airways and lungs, which affects breathing and may make people more sensitive to outside conditions such as air pollution, cigarette smoke, and cold air.
Another potential link to asthma for patients with GERD is that when acid enters the esophagus, a nerve reflex is triggered, causing the airways to narrow in order to prevent the acid from entering.
Some asthma medications can increase heartburn and other symptoms of GERD. Theophylline has been most closely tied to worsening GERD symptoms. Bronchodilators (a common type of inhaled asthma medication) may reduce the lower esophageal sphincter pressure and trigger GERD symptoms. However, further studies must be done before the relationship between GERD and these drugs is fully understood.
What Should I Do If I Have Asthma and GERD?
If you have both asthma and GERD, it is important that you consistently take any asthma medications your doctor has prescribed to you, as well as control your exposure to asthma triggers as much as possible.
Fortunately, many of the symptoms of GERD can be treated and/or prevented by taking steps to control or adjust personal behavior. Some of these steps include:
- Raise the head of your bed by six inches to allow gravity to help keep the stomach's contents in the stomach. (Do not use piles of pillows because this puts your body into a bent position that actually aggravates the condition by increasing pressure on the abdomen.)
- Eat meals at least three to four hours before lying down, and avoid bedtime snacks.
- Eat smaller meals with moderate portions of food.
- Maintain a healthy weight to eliminate unnecessary intra-abdominal pressure caused by extra pounds.
- Limit consumption of fatty foods, chocolate, peppermint, coffee, tea, colas and alcohol -- all of which relax the lower esophageal sphincter -- and tomatoes and citrus fruits or juices, which contribute additional acid that can irritate the esophagus.
- Give up smoking, which also relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter.
- Wear loose belts and clothing.
Aside from these steps, over-the-counter treatments can often help relieve GERD symptoms. However, if after two weeks these medications do not help with your symptoms, your doctor may recommend prescription-strength medications that block or limit the amount of stomach acid your body produces. Under severe circumstances, surgery may be needed.

Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi
April 28, 2009
What's up with Geoff Dyer's new novel?
There's little narrative tension let alone follow-through on actions. And Dyer lacks emotional commitment to the narrator Jeff Atman in Venice and the unamed Varanasi narrator (who obviously is Jeff Atman from Venice), exuding neither sympathy nor disdain or anything in between.
What he does give us is witty commentary that attempts to impart good-life bad-life enlightenment. Jeff's self-effacing "I'm not a player in the art world" attitude and self-confessed lack of ambition or purpose in life, which "meant that you clutched at whatever straws came your way," are rich fodder.
Upon arriving at Venice's Biennale, the city's major international contemporary art exhibition, British middle-aged Jeff meets gorgeous young American Laura, who becomes his focus for the rest of the week, not the art. Sex (erotic), cocaine (occasional) and alcohol (constant) define his days with the beautiful Laura wearing beautiful dresses, much to the neglect of his Biennale assignment from Kulchur magazine.
This London writer is suppose to interview the 50ish former sex symbol, reclusive Julia Berman, who once had an affair with globally successful artist Steven Morison.
Laura and Jeff part ways at the end of the Biennale, and we turn the page, never to hear of Laura again or of what happened with Jeff's flubbed assignment. We next enter Death in Varanasi.
Here the narrator is unnamed but, being he's a free-lancer with the same characteristics as Jeff in Venice, it's an easy assumption that Jeff-of-the-loose-Biennale-life is now on assignment in India's sacred city Varanasi. Difference is that he's now being influenced by the city's spiritual roots, living in poverty, wandering the streets, gazing with holy men and bathing in the River Ganges, obviously a man still clutching at straws coming his way.
All in all, his time in Varanasi is a cleansing of the soul that unfolds as we turn each undramatic page
And that's about it for this book. It borders on being a bore, but here's the catch: Dyer's cleverness teases us along, much like a clever friend that drops the occasional hilarious line or gem of wit. You want to be around that friend just for the cleverness, and that's the appeal of this odd book that's mildly entertaining in Venice and surprisingly tolerable in Varanasi.
Dyer's previous work includes 10 books, a mix of fiction and non-fiction. I hear they've won him many fans, which makes me think Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi is not the best book to be the introduction to Geoff Dyer, as it was for me. Despite the cleverness, it's not a fan-maker.
Jennie Gerhardt is back
April 24, 2009
A few years ago, at some random point in my reading journey, an author or critic said he or she preferred Theodore Dreiser's Jennie Gerhardt, published in 1911, to the more famously known and assigned Dreiser classic Sister Carrie.
Not just preferred, though – the book was described as a favorite.
I went online to purchase a copy, only to discover an expensive academic paperback as the sole available new choice. Then to the libraries, but no luck there, either. For two years, I looked for this book, searching for the title whenever I entered a book environment. I don't know why I didn't shop more extensively online for a used copy – I'm thinking there wasn't a desirable one available.
Persistence paid off, and one day there it was on a shelf in a used bookstore. A first hardbound edition, no less, for $10.
Now it's available from Dodo Press, which released a new paperback this year (January 2009) for approximately $14 .
Here's what I found about Dodo Press: "Where books are no longer in print or poorly available, we are seeking to make them available again by republishing, we do this through 2 Imprints called Dodo Press and Asio Press."
The story is about a lower class girl caught up with wealthy men, submitting to them sexually to help her family financially. Similar to my source recommendation, I enjoyed Jennie Gerhardt much more than Sister Carrie. Jennie is so very vulnerable and sympathetically yet authentically (i.e., without tugging at heartstrings) given to us that she's hard to forget, hard not to love and hope for. Her story is set in Columbus, Ohio, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Chicago. Columbus residents who remember The Neil House, across from the State Capitol, will recognize it in the first pages.
H. L. Mencken, a longtime friend of Dreiser, said of Jennie Gerhardt: "I am firmly convinced that Jennie Gerhardt is the best American novel I have ever read, with the lonesome but Himalayan exception of Huckleberry Finn."
Thank you Dodo Press for making this engaging story readily available in an affordable paperback.
I miss letters
April 23, 2009
On October 8, 1946, legendary singer/songwriter Woody Guthrie wrote an eight-page letter to Charlotte Strauss. The two had been corresponding since 1945, after Strauss read Guthrie's autobiography Bound for Glory and wrote him a fan letter.
That eight-page letter went up for auction on January 15, 2009 at Freeman's, as part of the Manuscript Archive of Woody Guthrie Letters & Short Stories circa 1945. I learned this from an advertisement for the auction in a magazine last November/December. It included a page of poetry from the letter, and I was so taken by Guthrie's words and drawings that I ripped the ad out of from the magazine and taped it to my office wall.
"And dont[sic] say to wait/wait is worse than to/say no/wait hurts/and a no feels good/wait makes you sick/a no cures you all over/the word wait/works okay/in lots of conversations/but/not/in/our/conversation…"
The trail of this auctioned letter fascinates me. A few weeks ago I saw in either The New Yorker or The New York Review of Books another ad saying Freeman's had sold the Guthrie lot for $41,800. A few weeks after that, I received Bauman Rare Books April 2009 Catalogue and saw that same photo of the Guthrie letter now stuck to my wall — Baumann is selling the letter for$16,000. Page 63 of the catalogue: "Extraordinary 1946 Autograph Letter Signed by Woody Guthrie, Featuring a Lengthy Lyric Poem and Eight Original Sketches."
I can't imagine what it would be like to receive such a letter. Yet maybe I can, which is why it's on the wall above my computer, where daily I write and respond to today's version of the letter … emails. Not quite the same, though, is it, lacking all that life and personality.

Will you be dispensable?
April 22, 2009
The Other Press is publishing The Unit in June, the first novel by Swedish author Ninni Holmqvist, translated byMarlaine Delargy. From what I read in the press release, it's sci-fi along the lines of Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World.
Sci-fi is not a genre that calls to me, although I've read the aforementioned classics, and I'm currently reaching the end of an Ursula LeGuin sci-fi classic (urged upon me by a friend who says it's one of his all-time favorites). What strikes me about The Unit is the unsettling premise of living a necessary life determined by society, let alone the concept that one could be dispensable.
From the press release:
"In the world of The Unit, women over fifty and men over sixty who are childless, and do not contribute in ways deemed productive for society, are designated as 'dispensable,' and are expected to contribute in other ways. They are taken to a special reserve bank for physical and psychological experiments, where they participate in various tests – some benign, such as exercise regiments; others more dangerous, such as experimental drug therapy. …each 'dispensable' is expected, slowly but inevitably, to donate their vital organs to the 'necessary' ones, those outside the Unit."
The Unit press release also says Holmqvist refrains from giving us simple answers, which is exactly why I'm drawn to read this soon-to-be-released novel.
W. S. Merwin wins Pulitzer
April 20, 2009
Pulitzer Prize winners for Letters, Drama and Music 2009 announced today are listed here in the New York Times. Among them is W. S. Merwin for his extraordinary collection of poetry The Shadow of Sirius.
One of my favorites in the collection, etching unforgettable images/sounds, "An Empty Lot" about the "long dusty patch/ of high ragweed" owned by a coal company that:
would do nothing with it but keep it
in case they ever should need to sink
an emergency shaft to miners
in trouble below there nobody could say
how far down…
I've been reading this collection slowly over the past month, savoring each poem. This is an extraordinarily rich gathering of thought about memory, the past, nostalgia, what has been, what could be.
From the publisher's page, here's the poem "Trail Marker." Others are available — look for the link that says, "Read and share a poem from this book."
This page was updated 2.25.12 to correct broken links.

How to give your cat a bath
Cats and water are commonly thought to be arch enemies or polar opposites. Cats generally avoid water, but sometimes bathing your feline is necessary. Cats are pretty good at grooming themselves, and some will never need a bath. However, pet shampoo can be one of the best solutions to bacterial or fungal infections of the skin. Plus, if your cat gets into something messy that it should not lick off, you will need to lend a hand.
Baths are also helpful in removing fleas and ticks if your kitty picks up one of these parasites before it starts flea and tick preventatives like Revolution. Plus, there are plenty of shampoos that soothe the itchiness caused by flea bites. Relief Shampoo or Allermyl Shampoo can soothe itchy, dry skin and make your cat feel much better. You just need to get it in the bath first.
If you can, get your cat used to water when it is very young. Bathing your kitten will make it easier to give an adult cat a bath. Younger cats are less set in their ways, and introducing a kitten to a variety of experiences (particularly ones that can be traumatizing) is a good way to raise a well-rounded, mellow adult cat.
Start by getting your cat in the place where you plan to bathe it. This might be the bathtub or the sink, or a basin of water on the floor. You might want to enlist the help of a friend for this process. Have your cat's favorite treats like Feline Greenies Dental Treats or a handful of its favorite pet food on hand to reward for calm, tolerant behavior in the bathing location.
Slowly and quietly introduce the cat to the water. It may be curious or frightened, but reward any interest it takes in the water. Once it seems comfortable, wet the cat's fur, being careful not to spray directly into its eyes, ears or nose. Lather up, and consider spending extra time rubbing the spots you know your cat likes to be touched. This might make the entire experience less traumatic for the cat. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and wrap it in a warm, large towel. Blow drying might be a good idea if your cat can tolerate it, just make sure the heat setting is on low and the dryer is not too loud.

20% DEET-Based Products Needed for Repelling Ticks
FORT COLLINS, Colo., May 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring brings welcomed warmer weather when everyone wants to be outside. But, danger lurks in the form of unwelcome insects and ticks that can transmit a variety of diseases to humans. "Ticks can infect thousands of people with a number of serious, sometimes deadly, illnesses including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease, and others," says Marc Dolan, senior research biologist at the Bacterial Diseases Branch, Division of Vector-Borne Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dolan works in CDC's tick laboratories in Fort Collins, Colorado, and says there's nothing amusing about the eight-legged blood suckers that have become his life's work, because of the illnesses they often bring to people, pets, livestock and wildlife.
"Tick-borne diseases are on the rise throughout the U.S.," Dolan notes. "Everyone needs to take proper precautions to avoid ticks in the woods and, increasingly, right in their own back yards," he said. "There are a lot of repellent products for use on skin that are registered by the EPA for repelling mosquitoes, but the 'go-to' choice for protecting your family from ticks is one that uses DEET as the active ingredient." Unlike DEET-based products, many natural repellent products require multiple applications and provide little protection.
Here are key steps to reducing the likelihood of tick bites:
- DEET-based repellents with a minimum concentration of 20% remain the primary method of personal protection against tick bites. Apply evenly to exposed skin and spray it on shoes, socks, and pants legs. Always follow label directions. These repellents can be used in concentrations up to 30% on all family members over the age of two months, according to guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
- Do a thorough tick check as soon as you come inside. Some tick nymphs emerge in early spring and may be infected with many diseases they can pass on to you when they bite. These young ticks are the size of a poppy seed and are difficult to spot. Showering after coming indoors (preferably within two hours) is also helpful to wash off ticks that have not latched onto your body. They usually don't transmit disease until they have been attached for more than 24 hours. "Bottom line: remove ticks immediately when you find them. The longer ticks are attached, the greater the risk of disease transmission," Dolan says. For tips on tick removal, see http://www.cdc.gov/ticks/removing_a_tick.html.
- If you experience a rash, fever or flu-like symptoms when it's not flu season and you think you may have been bitten by a tick, seek medical attention. In the case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, physicians must administer the correct antibiotics as soon as possible in order to avoid serious illness and death. Lyme disease symptoms usually include a telltale bull's eye rash along with flu-like symptoms. Some patients may develop more serious conditions such as arthritis and infection of the heart and central nervous system.
"Because there are a variety of tick-borne diseases, dangerous ticks can be found in all 50 states," Dolan says. "They are hard to see and the diseases they transmit can be life-altering and life-threatening. Take all the precautions you can to avoid them," he urges. For more information on avoiding ticks, on tick-borne diseases, and on disease symptoms, see http://www.cdc.gov/ticks and www.deetonline.org
Editors please note: The visual at this link is excellent to show size and types of ticks, what diseases they carry, and more.

We would like to issue a sincerely apology to our users. Over the course of the several days, you may have noticed that our site was intermittently down with a message that said "Account Suspended". The cause of this down time was because our hosting service, JustHost, had unreasonably shut down our account claiming that we have been using too much system resources in CPU time. Not only do we think this accusation is unreasonable, we also felt very violated because they had just shut down our servers.
Needless to say, we are not happy with them, and now we have switched to a new, and much more reliable hosting service. As far as we know, all issues are now resolved, and we do not expect any more down time.

Flickr Hive Mind can also be an effective tool to identify photography with licenses that allow non-commercial (and sometimes) commercial use. Written by: Nathan Siemers. Inspired by (and thanks to) Flickr Leech. Dedicated to Anna and her Flickritis. If you find your login does not work, perhaps your browser has disabled the cookies that I use to track your session.
