Vermonters travel to New Hampshire to canvass for a senator from Illinois
Last Saturday, about two dozen Vermonters ranging in age from 17 to 72 schlepped through the streets of Littleton, New Hampshire, on behalf of a presidential candidate they believe can transform American politics. Contrary to what some might suppose, Barack Obama's longstanding and well-advertised opposition to the war in Iraq wasn't the main motivation for these volunteers. Instead, most were inspired by what they see as the Illinois senator's shining example of honesty and inclusive leadership.
Not that all the Obama activists are wide-eyed idealists. Though a certain degree of altruism seems required for traveling two hours to knock on strangers' doors, many of the younger canvassers offered pragmatic perspectives that traditional Vermonters may readily relate to.
In fact, the vibe among the students on this yellow school bus bound for Littleton, just across the Connecticut River from St. Johnsbury, would probably have seemed way square to their "Clean for Gene'" ancestors, who carpet-bagged to New Hampshire 40 years earlier. Back in 1967, helping Senator Eugene McCarthy attempt to unseat President Lyndon Johnson — and thereby end the war in Vietnam — was just one item on an agenda driven by dreams of revolution, personal as well as political.
The hippies who got haircuts probably didn't fool many of the New Hampshirites they'd come to convert. But they did help spark an antiwar rebellion that almost nobody knew was brewing in the then-solidly conservative Granite State.
New Hampshire has since grown more moderate. And today's political attitudes may prove surprisingly congruent with the mellower message delivered by Obama, who presents himself as a unifier.
Perhaps the voters in the nation's first presidential primary will be persuaded to think like Dana Jokela, a University of Vermont senior who has become politically active for the first time. He described Obama as "progressive, but having a realistic stance on most issues." The candidate's emphasis on looking past labels resonates with Jokela. He said Obama "treats everyone as a person, not as a Republican or Democrat."
Littleton is primed for a unity pitch like Obama's: The latest American war doesn't appear to be a divisive issue in this town of 4400 residents. "I thought the number one issue would be Iraq, but it's what affects people personally," said canvasser Bill Masterson, a retired Defense Department official who lives in Lincoln. He cited the example of a mother who wanted to discuss deficiencies in her child's special-education program.
Locals seem much more interested in Obama's positions now than they did a few months ago, added Tom Brown, a volunteer from Colchester who canvassed the same Littleton neighborhood in August. Brown also found that, while support for Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton may be broad, "it's about an inch deep."
A Boston Globe poll released on November 11 confirms Brown's impressions. The survey shows Clinton leading runner-up Obama in New Hampshire by a 35-21 percent margin — 9 points less than in September. And voters are being swayed by the same Honest Obama image that the Vermont volunteers find so appealing. Asked which candidate is "most trustworthy," 26 percent of those surveyed chose Obama, while 19 percent named Clinton.
"He's an honest guy," Will Robb of Burlington said, when asked to pinpoint his top reason for supporting Obama. "When he talks about a policy, it's not like he's moving pieces around on a chessboard."
It's hard to miss the reference to Clinton there. But, like most of the Vermonters traveling to Littleton, Robb was reluctant to criticize the New York senator directly. Perhaps it's because campaign organizers instruct canvassers to speak no ill of other candidates — or perhaps a genuinely positive outlook comes easily to Obama supporters.
"I feel hope for the first time in decades," said Gail Neale, a 72-year-old Burlingtonian. She rattled off the Obama attributes that hearten her: "honesty, integrity, guts, ability."
In keeping with their generally measured approach, some Obama backers expressed only mild excitement about the possibility of the United States' electing its first black president. "Being an African-American is an important factor," said Jokela, the UVM senior, "but it's not what's pushing me to support him." Jokela and his classmate Peter Merritt, both majoring in ecological agriculture, identified climate change as the issue that most concerns them.
Race does matter, Brown interjected. The retired air traffic controller suggested that Obama's racial heritage — he was born to a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas — could help reduce hostility toward the United States in the developing world. "If you're a 14-year-old boy in Pakistan, the only American presidents you've seen are Bill Clinton and George W. Bush," Brown said. "Obama has the same skin color as you. His grandmother is living in a mud hut in Africa. And he's had absolutely nothing to do with the war in Iraq."
John Wong, a Chinese-American from Rochester, also highlighted Obama's African descent. "He represents a changing America, a new America," Wong said. "Most minorities growing up before World War II would say, 'I'm white' as a way of trying to get ahead. Now they can see it's possible for their children to grow up to be president."
What about gender politics? Just as they downplayed the salience of Obama's skin color, many of the women on the bus said a candidate's sex should not be a major consideration. "I'd say it's more important to have a black than a woman as president, if I were to think that way," Neale commented. "But it makes about as much sense to support someone because they're red-headed."
"Having a woman elected would be positive, but to vote for her just because she's a woman would be counterproductive," added Zina Ward, a senior at Essex High School. "That would implicitly be saying gender should be a criterion."
Pressed to say what kept them off the Hillary bandwagon, Obama supporters en route to Littleton cited a variety of negatives. "She's carrying too much baggage," suggested Katie O'Neill, a first-year student at UVM. "What happened with her husband means she can't get broad support," O'Neill added, in reference to Bill Clinton's Oval Office sex scandal.
Ida Gatwood of Burlington said the former First Lady has diluted her political identity. "I liked her when she was in the White House, but I don't know who Hillary Clinton is anymore," Gatwood said. "She never gives clear answers."
Brown, the unofficial organizer of the Littleton trip, weighed in: "Nobody's more Washington establishment than Clinton. Electing her would be a continuation of the dynasty, of cronyism."
On arrival in Littleton, the Vermonters were ushered into a nondescript office building on Main Street, where a pair of peppy New Hampshire organizers explained canvassing procedures. The visiting volunteers were briefed on how to introduce themselves to locals and how to respond to a variety of comments about Obama and other candidates. They received instructions for filling out an evaluation form for each household: Circling "1" signifies that a voter is willing to sign a pledge card for Obama; "2" means the person at the door favors Obama but isn't fully committed; "3" is for the undecided, accompanied by an "L" in cases where the voter appears to be leaning toward Obama; "4" indicates support for another candidate.
Will Robb and Peter Merritt moved hesitantly as they embarked on their separate rounds in a working-class neighborhood with a view of snow-capped Mount Washington. "I always get a little nervous before I start doing this," said Robb, who occasionally canvasses on behalf of Progressive candidates in Burlington.
Many knocks went unanswered, and the volunteers stuffed Obama-for- President literature under door handles at those houses. A couple of residents were downright rude in telling the canvassers they were not interested in Obama. After three hours on Littleton's wind swept streets, neither Robb nor Merritt had checked a single "1" or "2" on his sheet.
Other volunteers reported similar experiences when the Vermont crew regrouped for pizza at the Main Street headquarters, prior to bussing back to Burlington. Neale, however, said she'd found "wild enthusiasm" for Obama at a senior housing project in the nearby town of Whitefield. "They were just nuts for Barack," she added.
Despite the generally tepid results of the Vermonters' efforts, the New Hampshire organizers whooped up the day's significance. Tallies showed the volunteers had knocked on 272 doors in Littleton — a town with 699 registered Democrats.
Zina Ward and another Essex High School senior both left the numbers "1" and "2" unchecked on their sheets. But Ward wasn't discouraged in the least, saying she will "definitely" canvass for Obama again. Even Clinton supporters would have to regard the 17-year-old's enthusiasm for grassroots politics as a beautiful thing.

Acock's SEC Wrap Up: Week 5
The SEC now has only two undefeated teams: Alabama and Missouri. Draw any conclusion you want from that.
Game 1: Tennessee 31 South Alabama 24 Appearances can be deceiving here, as Tennessee led 31 - 7 in the 3rd before pulling a South Carolina and letting a team rattle off 17 unanswered points. Probably the most distressing thing here is that with 7:00 or so left in the game, South Alabama got the ball on their own 13 and marched it all the way down to UT's 7 before finally being intercepted in the end zone on a 4th and goal to seal the deal. Not good. Game 2: #20 Florida 24 Kentucky 7 Florida probably has the best defense in the SEC. How good? UK only had 7 drives the entire game, three of them were 3 and out and only 2 were 10 plays or more. Florida's offense is still suspect at best, but they're good enough to go to Atlanta if they can slow UGA and USC down. Game 3: #1 Alabama 25 #21 Ole Miss 0 You had one job, Hugh Freeze. Does this mean 'Bama's defense is back or that Ole Miss was overrated? Yes! Game 4: Vandy 52 UAB 24 You can learn a lot at Vandy. How to become a doctor, a research scientist, and (apparently) how to not take you foot off the gas against inferior opponents. Game 5: Missouri 41 Arkansas State 19 If you're still mad about our UCF game, look at it this way, Missouri was trailing in the 3rd quarter against Arkansas State... at home. This board would be in full melt-down. Missouri, on the other hand, is just happy with the win. Game 6: #10 Texas A&M 45 Arkansas 33 Last week I said this reminded me of the Texas A&M/Rice match up. Close, Rice ran for 306 yards and scored 31. Arkansas only ran for 262 but scored more. Winning in Arkansas is never really easy, so hats off to ATM. Game 7: #12 South Carolina 28 UCF 25 It's a road win. Connor Shaw started, and SC won... so it's a Connor Shaw road win. I'll take it. Game 8: #9 Georgia 44 #6 LSU 41 Lack of defense aside, this was a war. UGA came out and got the job done, so no bitching if they make it to Atlanta. I still can't forgive them for losing to Clemson but this was impressive football, on everyone's part. Now I know what it's like to be in the Big 12. Week 2 Power Ranking 1. Alabama (4-0) Next up Georgia State: 'Bama takes back the top slot because no one else wants it. 2. Georgia (3-1) Next up @Tennessee: Is this where Georgia stumbles? No, it is not. 3. LSU (4-1) Next up @Miss State: I'm happy for Mississippi State that this game isn't on the road for them. It'll be bad enough as it is. 4. Texas A&M (4-1) Next up off: Wonder what Manzell does during his week off? Can't believe MTV hasn't made a reality show out of that. 5. Florida (3-1) Next up Arkansas: A lot of you are going to be upset I jumped Florida over us, stating they don't have an offense. Apparently they don't need one. 6. South Carolina (3-1) Next up Kentucky: A good measuring-stick type game for us. Can we finally dominate someone for 4 quarters? In a row? 7. Ole Miss (3-1) Next up @Auburn: A slip up this week could cause things in Oxford to get chilly. By chilly I mean cold, as in the fans reaction. Which is funny because their coach is named Freeze, so it's sort of a play on that. 8. Auburn (3-1) Next up Ole Miss: Auburn moves up without playing a game. Diabolical Gus... diabolical. 9. Missouri (4-0) Next up @Vandy: This will be a good test to see if Mizzou's offense can play against D1 competition. 10. Vandy (3-2) Next up Mizzou: I've always wondered what the Vandy student's after parties are like. I'm guessing they involve Dr. Who marathons and jello shots. 11. Arkansas (3-2) Next up @Florida: Decent showing against Texas A&M. Now we get to see how they handle the road. 12. Mississippi State (2-2) Next up LSU: Dan Mullen is going to be a great offensive coordinator somewhere next year. 13. Tennessee (3-2) Next up Georgia: Out of the basement and rising! Oh.. hey Aaron Murray...what's up? 14. Kentucky (1-3) Next up @South Carolina: Hey UK if you're down by 30 at the end of 3 don't panic. Someone told Spurrier in the off season that games have been shortened to 3 quarters and he hasn't bothered to check on it. Till next week....

Spare, no I'm typing while hung over, so no chance I get someone's name right.
I neglected to mention date-rape as a Vandy activity as well. Eric, I wish you were right. Stilll....:

Acoustic MusicThis category has the following sub-categories:
Acoustic Love BalladVery American in nature, this is a modern acoustic stock music piece that is more of a love ballad and it has an open feeling about it. It's a straight ahead, non-complicated, moderate tempo and rather relaxed piece of music with teeny, tiny hints of cheesiness about it. Imagine the Goo Goo Dolls blended with Jack Johnson. It has the capability of being upbeat but in a mellow way. Use it with sitcoms, comedies, light dramas, nature and travel programs and more in television, film, radio, podcasts, games, web series, onhold music. [ by Bobby Cole ] Crossing AmericaHere's a refreshing blend of jazz, country and funk made with grooving acoustic guitar, piano and rhythm section. It's a happily floating stock music piece that will love being placed with scenes of: leisurely errand running, a relaxed mission, covertly rummaging through someone's house, rivers and canyons, flying through wide open spaces, iconic metropolitan areas, skyscrapers - for television, film, radio, web, games, etc. [ by Alex Khaskin ] If OnlyAcoustic sounds fill this copyright free music track with a solo harmonica, fretless bass and folk guitar, which give it a folksy, country music feel. It's peaceful and somewhat sentimental, ideal for dramas, soap operas, romantic/love stories on television, webshows and radio as well as for independent and standard films for the general public. [ by Guy Zerafa ] Native DanceNative Dance features an uplifting and fresh theme expressed predominantly with flute, guitars and drums/percussion and immediately takes your imagination to the Native American desert, the Southwest and anywhere with red rocks, orchre monuments, open valleys and arid meadows. It's a positive, magical and spiritual sounding tune that gives one the feeling of freedom and openness. It would be perfect for vast desert driving scenes or a majestic pan shot of the mountains during sunset. Uses: television/film b-roll shots, promos, spots, interstitials, presentations, bumpers. [ by Alex Khaskin ] Pride of AfricaThis is a positive, rhythmic music track composed of strings, piano, choirs and traditional percussion instruments. The intro has a very Africa-influenced flavor but as the music piece progresses, one might imagine the wide, open frontier in North America, the bold migrations across the continent to reach the west. Hints of the old American west are heard from time to time, which make the cue easy to match with movies or footage in westerns or western-themed content. Other uses: travel and nature shows. [ by Alex Khaskin ] Russians in New-YorkVoice effects give this unusual jazz tune a comedic and fun accent. The piano, bass, percussions, orchestral riffs, scratch fx contribute to the humor and bouncy beat of this lively, full tune. Use it in cartoons, animations and 1920's club or street scenes in films or TV shows. Promos and presentations will have a pop to the visuals with this sound track, and videogames will enliven the plays.

County Commission to hold public hearing on budget
Date: September 12, 2011
by: Rachel Brown Hackney | Managing Editor
The Sarasota County Commission will hold public hearings Monday, Sept. 12, on tax assessments and the fiscal year 2012 budget during a special meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. in the commission chamber at the Sarasota County Administration Center, 1660 Ringling Blvd.
Among the public hearings will be those on the total fiscal year 2012 millage rate and the stormwater improvement and the fire and rescue district assessments. Members of the public will be limited to three minutes each in their comments.
The County Commission July 13 tentatively approved no change in the general fund millage rate from fiscal year 2011 to fiscal year 2012. That rate is 3.0607 mills. Including the debt service and mosquito millage rates, the total millage rate is also unchanged at 3.3384 mills.
The total tentative budget for FY 2012 is $860,474,628.
The Sarasota County Property Appraiser Office had certified the taxable value for Sarasota County property as of July 1 at $39.6 billion, down from $42.1 billion in the previous year.

I Have always loved this coffee and machine
My husband bought the coffee machine for me years ago and it still works perfect. There was a time though I could not get the coffee I drank so I put it away for awhile missing it constantly. We were talking one night while my husband was on the computer so we decided to check to see if the product was available again. It was and I hope I never have to go without it again. Thanks Tassimo
Happy in Illinois!!

Maxwell House Creme Latte tastes Great
This particular product suits me because I like a coffee with a little bitterness to it....that's why I like Starbucks.... but, I have only tried one other of the Tassimo coffees, & that was the Gevalia latte... too mild for me. The Maxwell House is just right....it's Good to the Last Drop....

"The Best!!"
We live in NJ and have close family that lives in the Rutland area. Whenever we visit our family here we will ALWAYS ONLY stay at this hotel. The attention to detail, the spaciousness of the suite to the price - this place has it all and is simply THE BEST!Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"OK for a night."
OK for one night. Room was small and very hot. As usual, aircon device too noisy to have on overnight. Breakfast was OK, nothing special.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Good service, Poor sound barrier."
The room was far from the service desk. We couldn't get a table for breakfast because it was over-crowded. It was noisy above us, due to very poor sound barrier in ceiling. Service desk was very kind, courteous, and professional.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
Problem in getting the room reasonably cool - was able to get from 78 to 74 but it took about 3 hours.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
To be honest....when we booked a suite, we didn't know there would be 2 queen beds IN THE SAME ROOM. That was really weird having to share sleep time with someone other than my husband. Nice place, just a really strange set up.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Closet had musty smell that transfered to clothing"
Room was pleasant with no view except that of of the parking lot. Room was billed as having a mountain view. Closet smelled musty and the smell got stronger if you closed the door to the closet. We put wedding clothing in there and then had to air them out. Beds were fine and breakfast was very good.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
Adaquate. Better breakfast than comparable motels.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Perfect evening stop on way to Maine"
Nice people. Room small, but clean and nice. Beds fresh and comfy. Close to Rutland (dinner at Table 24*****). Walk to Rocking Horse Country Store. We'd overnight at Best Western again, maybe even linger longer in Rutland the next time.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

"May 18, 2013 - Victoria Day Weekend"
It was the "girls" ... or more like 50 something ladies :) weekend away. Driving from Montreal, we planned to do some shopping in Burlington and Manchester, VT. Since Burlington was over-booked, (our Victoria Day weekend coinciding with multiple graduations taking place all over VT), we decided to give a try to the Best Western in Rutland which was […] well reviewed on Trip Advisor. We got what we expected. A very clean (but rather small-ish) room without the dreadful bed-spreads, but instead with clean white duvet covers laundered daily. An oversize flat screen TV that took so much space on the dresser that the tiny coffee maker was hiding in the bathroom. The bed and the pillows were comfortable. The room smelled clean. As for the breakfast bar included in our room price, it was a pretty generic fare. The little round "omelettes" tasted of powdered eggs. Bread and pastries were mediocre.The waffles made on the waffle iron from a pre-made mix tasted non-descript.. Coffee was of excellent quality and flavour. Grosso motto: it was a typical Best Western /Subsititute Any Other Chain hotel breakfast. Convenient. The staff at the front desk were all nice, friendly and polite. The grounds are very nice. The location convenient. Would I recommend this hotel? Yes. Would I say that our room was worth $140/night. Nope. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Great little apartment!"
The mattresses were a bit too firm for us which made it a bit difficult to sleep, but otherwise the suite was great!Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Laid back Hotel"
This hotel is a perfect location between Killington and Rutland. This time we stayed here mainly because of Snoe.Down, a music festival. The shows were both at Killington Mt and in Rultand. It was nice to be able to stop at the hotel in between shows. This is a typical ski resort. It's very laid back, comfortable and the staff is very friendly. The […] breakfast assortment was very satisfiying. They had a waffle maker, usually a meat, eggs, breads, cereals, oatmeal, etc. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價

"Exceeds all my expectations!"
This hotel exceeded my expectations. The suite was awesome. Great size. Great layout. Clean. Comfortable. And very close to Killington ski mountain. The breakfast was very good. The staff was excellent, and so nice. There was a game room with a pool table that the teen-agers loved.Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Great place to stay for a ski weekend"
The staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room the first night and a suite the second night. The suite was very comfortable- nothing fancy but a perfect place to stay for a ski weekend. Definitely would recommend!Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Nice place for family skiing vacation"
Would recommend this place to anyone with a family. We had a suite which was a perfect size for a family of four. The room was clean and somewhat up to date with newer flat panel TV's. Kitchen could use some newer appliances but otherwise the kitchen was still usable. Breakfast was included and perfect for a quick bite to eat prior to leaving for the […] slopes. Place is located around 25 min to Killington ski resort and conveniently close to the downtown area for some shopping and dinner after a nice day of skiing. The staff was very helpful and cordial. 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

price was much more affordable this time of year. breakfast offering good. Like the Green Mountain coffee, yogurt and fruit.Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"Great place to stay during ski season!"
The room was plenty big. Amenities were good. Staff friendly, accommodating. My biggest complaint is the size of the beds. The beds are full size and I am used to king! We had 3 people staying in the room, so my husband and I had to share that little bed--couldn't move! If you don't want to spring for two queens, then one queen and one full would be […] a lot nicer in the rooms and they'd fit too. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
"January ski trip"
Ask for a second floor room if you want to avoid the noise of upstairs neighbors. The heatig system is wall mount radiant heat with hot water. it will squeal and hiss and pop all night if it runs during cold months. Dont expect a good night sleep unless you are exhausted and do not notice it. Breakfast is adequate. Location is adequate.Expedia 旅客真實的評價

The room was spacious and the two queen beds were comfy. Everything was very clean and even the laundry room was spic and span. The breakfasts were varied with two hot egg and meat choices as well as the waffle maker, fruit, cereal, yogurt, etc. The coffee in the lobby was always fresh and available. The front desk clerk recommended a wonderful salad […] and soup meal for us, and without her guidance, we wouldn't have found such a nice light meal. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
We love going to Vermont. The Best Western is a really good hotel. The only major complaint were the beds. They were so uncomfortable! My husband and I were constantly tossing and turning all night.

Various issues-small, crowded room, tub that didn't drain, dated furnishings, squeaky doors, poor lighting, climate controls didn't work, breakfast served in a different building (chilly walk in the morning) . Skip this place.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Great Place To stay"
Actually, this review I start off by saying how disappointed we were when we entered our room, and immediately detected the strong odor of smoke in this non-smoking room. But the front desk quickly switched us to another room without that issue. We took a suite with a full, well-supplied kitchen. We have been here before, both in and out of ski season […] and have never been disappointed. Shame on those who smoke in rooms not available to smokers. Because otherwise, the rooms are great, clean and attractive. The hotel itself is centrally located, not far from restaurants and local shops. 閱讀更多Expedia 旅客真實的評價
It was a very pleasant experience.Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價
"Great location, beautiful grounds"
After NOT booking another hotel closer to Lake George (thanks to travelers' reviews), we decided to book Best Western Plus. It was the best decision ever! Hotel is clean, staff is professional, wireless internet works perfectly, everything as described. Delicious continental breakfast, every day slightly different. We tried the waffles - scrumptious! […] Best coffee on the East Coast :) . Although, we visited Vermont in the summer, there was plenty to do and see (pick up your map and brochures at the hotel!) We had a great time kayaking, beer tasting, playing sports, visiting the local towns and attractions. We're looking forward to our next stay with Best Western Plus! 閱讀更多Hotels.com 旅客真實的評價

Question by Ivan 594 · Dec 17 '10 at 01:52 AM · eating-out friends happiness
I don't want to be constantly thinking about food all the time. Earlier when I was trying to put on muscle, I just used to eat all the time or think about what to eat, when to eat and stuff like that. At least now after starting Paleo, I don't freak out if I miss my lunch. But I still don't like to constantly plan about what to eat and cook it. I am a student and want to spend a good chunk of my time doing something I actually love doing (math!!). Sometimes it becomes very hectic and when I am in the middle of something, I don't really like to go home and cook dinner. IF would be great but I cannot stomach all the calorie requirements and I end up dangerously under-eating and losing weight. Ideally I would like to be able to eat outside and so I will have to include other food varieties. Unlike many of you, I don't live with my family and so most of my social life, which involves eating outside, is already cut off and I don't really feel happy about my status right now. Its a no-brainer that I should avoid gluten but what other ideas do you guys have?

Answer by Eva 22585 · Dec 17 '10 at 03:46 AM
Sometimes I still go out to eat. I'll order things like steak salad for lunch. Or for dinner, some kind of meat plus a baked potato with butter and a side salad. Or at family restaurants, you can get bacon, eggs, and cut up whole potatoes. I always ask in advance if the potatoes are real potatoes instead of out of a box. If not real, then I have never been denied a polite request to sub some cut fruit instead or unsweetened apple sauce. I can easily find something that is mostly paleo at most restaurants as long as it's not a noodle house. Even at a noodle house, you can often get by in a pinch by ordering rice noodles instead of wheat noodles. A few times I have ended up at a noodle house when the boss's wife asked me out to lunch and that is where she wanted to go. You might get a tad of grain oil on some of it, but I don't think it's enough to be a big deal as long as you don't have celiac issues and it's only once in a while. The thing with paleo is that you don't have to go all or nothing to be healthy.
Other things I will do if busy, is just make up a ton of stuff, like maybe I'll cook a tritip and eat some and cut the rest up into pieces so that later I can snack on it easily as a finger food. Or have some cheese on it. Or i will make a ton of bacon for snacking. In a pinch, I'll just cook up a bunch of eggs or just slam together a big fat salad. Above all, I try to have some cooked meat and/or fruit aroound for snacking. At first, all the cooking seemed overwhelming but over time I learned quick paleo recipes and coping techniques and now I don't spend nearly as much time on it.
Answer by sinn10304 373 · Dec 17 '10 at 02:52 AM
Sometimes you just have to man up to the inconvenience and the sacrifices. If it was easy, then all the people your going out with would be doing it too. All the tips in the world won't make paleo any easier when your friends want to go get pizza and beer. You have to weigh your options and decide what your priorities are.
Answer by Aaron Curl 1275 · Dec 17 '10 at 02:37 AM
I pre-cook most of my food on sunday every week (and eat the same foods because it doesn't bother me). I eat to live for sure. I eat 90% of my pre-cooked meat cold because I don't want to spend the time to cook (or reheat it) every day. However, It takes me 20 minutes every week at the grocery store and about 4 hours of nonstop cooking every sunday. Overall it saves a lot of time throughout the week. Hope this helps.
Answer by wjones3044 10156 · Dec 17 '10 at 02:25 PM
Buy a crock pot. Best $20 you'll ever spend. My butcher had beef shanks on sale at $3/lb. Throw a pound in there with maybe a little extra stew meat and some chardonnay and some butter and salt. Some onion, perhaps, or garlic, or both. Turn it to low and go off to do your math. You can come back in six hours or ten. Doesn't matter. Dinner is done and it will be awesome. (Better to come back at about 8 hours but no worries if you overshoot or undershoot--hence the beauty of the crock pot.)
Answer by sherpamelissa 18762 · Dec 17 '10 at 02:32 AM
Salads plus protein are usually pretty okay choices.
Always order extra of the vegetable in place of the potato/grain choice if you can.
Eggs, omelets, fritattas and crustless quiche are possibilities.
If you are looking a booze options, hard liquor and wine are better choices than beer. You can sip a drink for a pretty long time if you work at it.
Most menus have paleo choices, sometimes you need to make special requests, but if you are polite about it, most of the time the waitstaff is pretty accommodating. Try not to feel embarrassed or singled out by making better choices. Most of the time other people are impressed that you can stick to your healthy eating. Sometimes, it even inspires them to try it.
Answer by Stephen-Aegis 24350 · Dec 17 '10 at 02:34 AM
If your issue is getting easy calories in few meals, fat is king.
Butter and coconut oil based sauces are easy to add to meat and tubers and you can simply eat 2000 calories in 1 meal.
Answer by Brandon 730 · Dec 17 '10 at 12:27 PM
I don't enjoy cooking and I'm not a foodie so I tend to do whatever takes the least amount of effort.
Unfortunately most paleo food has to be cooked and/or refrigerated so when you are away from home it's tough if you didn't plan ahead. IMHO, if you know in advance you are going to be out for a day or two the easiest way is to overeat prior to leaving home, then you'll be able to go for longer without a meal.
There are some things like pemmican that keep well without refrigeration but they take effort to produce and you can't just go into a store and buy them if you want quality. Hardboiled eggs keep for a while but they take effort too and are a pain in the butt to carry in any quantity. Nuts are easy but relatively expensive and probably not a great staple food. I guess you could haul coconut oil around with you but it's kind of gross to eat by itself.
If you have access to a fridge its hard to beat dairy since there's no prep required. As long as dairy fits in your definition of paleo. Cheese and cream are easy and cheap and full of good fats. Some people even eat their meat raw without cooking, but it seems risky to me unless you are really confident in your source.

I ordered this dress for a Florida wedding this coming April. I did not want anything sleeveless and did not want anything really warm. This jacket is just the right weight for a cool day or for air conditioning on a hot day! The dress has no fasteners of any kind, and is very comfortable to wear. The jacket is sheer and also comfortable.
Not happy. Waste of money. Cheap gold painted plastic beads came out of the box showing blackened chips and scratches. The dress also has a noticeable sad saggy ripple across the middle of the back, which is likely due to the use of cheap thick stretch poly lining under a sheer fabric with no give whatsoever. The quality does not merit even the Overstock price.
Although the dress fit perfectly the jacket seemed a bit large on me. I loved the beading on the dress and jacket, very beautiful.
I was nervous about ordering a dress without trying it on, but this one is a keeper for sure,,,fits nice and very flattering style...I ordered up and am glad I did as fabric is a little stretchy....very nice dress ....wearing it to my nieces wedding in June...LOVE THIS DRESS!!!
I like the light weight of this dress. The fashion is very good. It is very fashionable.
I bought this dress to attend a company party. Although I had a slight problem with the first one I received (the stitching on a small area of the jacket had a liltte fraying) I called customer service and they sent me a replacement right away. I loved how it looked on me and I loved the color. A silver sandal and I was good to go!
Love this color, I think it would be flattering to almost anyone! Jacket style is good for air conditioned restaurants or reception halls. Looks great with silver shoes and necklace. Can't go wrong with this one.
Beautiful dress. Fits perfect, Compliments my blond hair color
Nicely made, a little shorter than I had expected. Beading work is well done
I am happy with the dress and the sizing. Would have preferred for it to be darker, but that is my preference for my coloring. The color is very accurate to the picture and the dress will be great for semi formal affairs. I like the fact it is washable as well. The beading has a brown tone and I have dressy brown pumps that will work well with the outfit.

Kick off 17:30 GMT at Südstadion Vorgebirgsstraße, Cologne, Germany
Germany - Ochs 27' Besuschkow 48' Henrichs 70',74'
England - Brown 22' Mitchell 43' Armstrong 61'
England U16s made a thrilling start to 2013, as they took on Germany U16s in their first European trip of the season. After three victories to lift the Victory Shield earlier in the campaign, Head Coach Kenny Swain and his squad headed to Cologne for a friendly against the Germans. And it ended in a narrow defeat for the Young Lions, who lost out by the odd goal in seven at the Südstadion Vorgebirgsstraße despite taking the lead on three occasions. After a bright start, England's first goal came through WBA striker Isaiah Brown who slotted home after 23 minutes, only for Germany's Philipp Ochs to level things up within five minutes. Manchester United winger Demetri Mitchell then put Swain's team back in front early in the second half, with the Germans again hitting straight back through sub Max Besuschkow in the 48th minute. England substitute Adam Armstrong, of Newcastle United, then made an instant impact by giving England the lead for the third time just after the hour mark. But Germany showed their resolve, with Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Benjamin Henrichs making it 3-3 with ten minutes to go. And Henrichs proved to be the hero for his side four minutes later by notching his second of the game and what proved to be the winning goal for Germany.

If it is just regular dried leaf, It should still be enough to feel effects for sure but is nowhere near as potent. You wont need a whole gram per person. In any case, I reccomend using a water bong with ice water, as the smoke can be particulary vile. and take big hits and hold them in until you absolutely cant.
If i were you aand it was dry leaf I'd chew it. It lasts a lot longer. When smoked it only lasts a bout 10-15 minutes.
I'm not to sure about tincture though.

Amnesty for illegal weapons ends Nov. 30 | | Print | |
Friday, 26 November 2010 15:11 | |||
Pistols, flare guns, a shotgun and a rifle have been turned in to police so far in the program that grants anyone amnesty for turning in illegal weapons before tough new laws go into effect Dec. 1. "Hand in your firearms and ammunition before we get you," said Assistant Superintendent Kenny Grant. "We will not rest until we take as many firearms as possible off the street, and you with them if you break those laws." "We emphasise that the amnesty is in place, and while we remind the public that they only have until the Tuesday, Nov. 30, to hand firearms and ammunition in, some still choose not to, as our seizures of firearms and arrests have shown in the last 14 days," Grant said. "Unfortunately, those persons, if and when convicted, after the new sentencing rules come in at the end of this month, will receive at least five years in prison when they could have handed their firearms in and walked away. It is a choice that they made, but one which they will surely regret." Weapons handed in so far include a .32-caliber pistol, a rifle, a .25-caliber pistol, a 12-gauge shotgun with ammunition and a number of 6 flare guns and other pieces of ammunition. Among the weapons seized during some of the arrests are a .380-caliber pistol, a .38-caliber pistol and other weapons which are now subject of court cases, police said. Individuals wanting to surrender firearms should contact one of the locations listed below to make arrangements for a suitable time and manner in which to hand over the weapon or ammunition. They should ensure that the weapon is not openly displayed; and where possible is carried in a secure container.

Sebastian Vettel was the first to admit his back-to-back P1s in Singapore on Friday count for very little in the greater scheme of the weekend.
Arriving at Singapore on the back of Red Bull's first point-less grand prix in 34 starts, the reigning World Champions were eager to get off on the right foot. That's exactly what happened.
Vettel set the pace in Friday's first practice on a slightly damp Marina Bay circuit, edging Lewis Hamilton by 0.049s and followed that up with another P1 later in the night.
The reigning World Champion, who is also the defending Singapore GP Champ, posted a 1:48.340 to beat Jenson button by 0.311s.
"We can be quite happy, let's see what we do tomorrow," said Vettel.
"It's only Friday and especially here it's not very conclusive because some people might be stuck in traffic. All in all most important is the car seemed to work on either tyre and we go from there."
Vettel, who was at his best through the final sector, hailed the changes made to the Marina Bay kerbs, which last season caused a few problems as they lifted and lifted drivers into the air.
"The kerbs have changed a little bit, which I think is an improvement. The old kerbs I think were a bit weird for all of us so it's a better solution.
"It is bumpy but that's the nature of the track, if it would be smooth it wouldn't be Singapore."

Ireland profile
Ireland emerged from the conflict that marked its birth as an independent state to become one of Europe's economic success stories in the final decade of the twentieth century.
Long under English or British rule, Ireland lost half its population in the decades following the Great Famine of the 1840s to death and emigration.
After World War I, independence from the United Kingdom was only achieved at the price of civil war and partition. Northern Ireland remains part of Britain.
After the country joined the European Community in 1973, it was transformed from a largely agricultural society into a modern, high-technology economy.
For centuries British dominion in Ireland gave rise to unrest which finally erupted into violence with the Easter Rising of 1916, when independence was proclaimed. The rising was crushed and many of its leaders executed, but the campaign for independence carried on through a bloody Anglo-Irish War of 1919-1921.
At a glance
- Politics: Prime Minister Enda Kenny from Fine Gael leads a coalition that ousted Fianna Fail, traditionally the main force in parliament, in 2011
- Economy: Ireland sought a rescue package from the EU and IMF in 2010 after debt and deficit problems left the economy close to collapse
- International: Ireland is active in international peacekeeping. It pursues military neutrality and is not a member of Nato. Ireland is an EU member and eurozone country
Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring
It was in 1922 that 26 counties of Ireland gained independence from London following negotiations which led to the other six counties, part of the province of Ulster, remaining in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Partition was followed by a year of civil war.
Relations between Dublin and London remained strained for many years afterwards. Northern Ireland saw decades of violent conflict between those campaigning for a united Ireland and those wishing to stay in the United Kingdom.
In an unprecedented and concerted effort to resolve the situation, the Irish and UK governments worked closely together in negotiations which led to the Good Friday Agreement on the future of Northern Ireland in 1998.
Boom to bustIreland's economy began to grow rapidly in the 1990s, fuelled by foreign investment. This attracted a wave of incomers to a country where, traditionally, mass emigration had been the norm.
The boom that earned Ireland the nickname of "Celtic Tiger" faltered when the country fell into recession in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2008.
The property boom had been fuelled by massive lending from the banks, and when this collapsed - and lenders were unable to repay - the Irish banking system was plunged into crisis.
The Irish economy underwent one of the deepest recessions in the eurozone, with its economy shrinking by 10% in 2009.
In November 2010, Ireland and the EU agreed a financial rescue package worth 85bn euros, ending weeks of speculation about a bail-out.
And in February 2013, Ireland struck a deal with the European Central Bank (ECB) to ease the debt burden caused by arrangements made to underwrite the country's "zombie banks" - bankrupt institutions such as the Anglo Irish Bank.
