More care charities face the cuts cosh

Recently we saw the extravaganza that is Children in Need, where a plenitude of celebrities urge us to donate to a charity which funds many projects for the most vulnerable. The irony is, like the good causes funded by The National Lottery, it is ordinary people who donate the most. Charities are becoming part of statutory services, providing services usually provided by local authorities.

Fracking and Ineos.
One of my proudest moments at the latest SSP conference was when we voted to oppose fracking. For me it is the death throws of our exploitation of the Earth. For big business such as Ineos who were given a cash hand out from the Scottish government to keep the Grangemouth distillery open. For their views on tracking check out their press release last year which highlights their views.
Material gain about sums up their approach. A global corporation who as well as importing shale gas from America for processing now owns the rights of 80% of Petroleum Explration and Development licenses. PEDLS. Big words for fracking. How ironic on Nicola Sturgeon's first FM question time this is announced. Corporate bosses showing who really control the puppet strings? It is easy too to feel cynical and wonder when the deals had been signed. Thankfully people who have become more politically engaged since during the referendum have raised their concerns in the social media.
Apparently Nicola Sturgeon has said she has not been persuaded that there are some benefits to fracking. However do a few jobs make up for the downside of fracking and the environmental catastrophes it may lead too. Most of the Central belt and the Fifth of Forth have been identified as potential sites. This is the ultimate NIMBY campaign as it will be affecting all the areas we live in. My belief is you have to be red to be green and that is why I am glad we as a party oppose fracking and call for investment into renewables which would be a fantastic opportunity for the Scottish economy. Proud to be a socialist and part of a movement which will always put people before profit first. I will always campaign for the rights of individuals before the schemes of exploitation of greedy global corporations. Hope you will join us.
SSP women's network is back on track

Our conference of a few weeks ago was an inspiration. Democracy is bursting out all over the SSP. There was great debate and a great mix of older and newer comrades all there to support each other.
We had all come together to begin the fightback and stake our claim to share our vision of an independent socialist Scotland. Part of this was our unanimous decision to re-establish the women's network—one of the groups I believe will help build the party, as well as being a safe place for women to become more confident and contribute in an environment that is appropriate to us.

The Ghost Train.
She had taken the tablets and the optional extra half bottle of tequila. She felt sleepy waited for the darkness she wished would soon cease to be an exclamation mark on history. She felt sleepy now and expecting there to be nothing else just the darkness.
Awake shit. This was not meant to happen. As I come to myself I can hear a distant melody. "da da da di diddly da da da. A song of childhood and trips to the circus. I become more aware of noises around me. I feel pressure on my hands. I am upright. I slowly open my eyes. My hands are clamped tight. I smell candy floss and hotdogs. When I open my eyes I see garish colours so I shut them tight again. Then I feel a tap on my shoulder. I peek out and see the grinning face of a circus clown. His eyes are sad though. I notice he has a clipboard in his hand.
"Hola Mirabel" he says. A faint hello is all I can muster.
I look at him more closely. If it wasn't for the clown costume he could be just another suit. I know what to expect. I look at the pity in his eye and know he has seen it many times before but I am used to that and am ready to engage.
"The handcuffs, why am I here? Can you take them off they are hurting me".
I lunge towards him but he moves his head slightly back so I can't feel his skin. He is used to this.
He smiles with fake concern in his voice.
"Mirabel, Mirabel. I wish I could spare you this but this will be the most uncomfortable three minutes of your life".
His adam's apple gulped. I am worried now.
"You have to appreciate you see" he said.
"We have many different species to process."
He took out a mobile phone and pressed a red button.
"We are going to take the ride of your life"
My eyes are opening wider. I can see that I am on a ghost train. When I was little I used to like the feeling of being frightened. This time it was different though. The car lurched ahead. We entered the tunnel. Darkness all around us at last but also the flickering fingers of loved ones. He could read my mind.
"Yes they are." He said.
And we go through the doors into my primary one classroom. I remember my teacher and her expectations of me. Nada. I was an Sebastian after all. The next day the birth of my children. I cried and the handcuffs got tighter. I understood what was happening.
"Please no more".
He looked at me again and put his hand in mine. I resisted but I could not anymore.
"Mirabel. You must watch to remember and be remembered."
It came into my mind that today was el dia de los muertes. When we remember all that have passed so we can stay in the land of the remembered. We they. Was I remembered?
So I sat and watched and remembered all the good, all the bad and all the inbetween that was the miniscule of my life. It was hard. We exited the ghost train. I could see the administrator of the next life checking off all his tick boxes. As we left the tunnel I could see the queue that went on forever. He looked at me.
"So do you want to go back?"

In the lead up to the referendum vote, the future of the welfare state was one of the issues referred to by the Scottish Government. Nicola Sturgeon talked of a fairer welfare state with little detail but the hope rested there in the ether. Unfortunately, the No vote will impact on many peoples lives of all ages, gender and abilities and lead to the further dismantling of the welfare state. As the SSP meets for our first post-referendum conference, it is important to be aware of some of the benefit cuts which are coming our way and will affect those both in and out of work.

Guest opinion: Circle the wagons for Montana-made energy
When PPL Montana, owner of the J.E. Corette coal plant in Billings, announced plans to "mothball" their 154-megawatt plant in 2015, it seized the opportunity to criticize the renewable energy production tax credit and disparage the regional wind industry. Instead of asking Montanans to "circ…

Young Money's Nicki Minaj has finally come clean on what motivated her to lose the clothes and tease fans this past Halloween with an overly "Not Safe For Work" outfit.
According to Nicki, she initially had plans to dress up as a cheetah for October 31.
"I've just been feeling a lot freer," said Nicki of her decision to show it all off on Instagram. "If you feeling yourself, you might just want to show the world." But the sexy cop costume wasn't her first choice. She was planning to be a cheetah with a painted face, but her stylist wasn't able to come through in time. "I was like, let me get any old thing and that was the any old thing," she said. (Rap-Up)
Despite stiff competition from her peers, Nicki upped the ante by dropping her clothes for a very revealing Halloween costume.
Maybe the producers of "Fifty Shades of Grey" should bring Nicki Minaj in for a reading. Because Christian Grey would have his hands full if Minaj showed up on set in the sexy S&M outfit she shared with fans on Halloween. With just electrical tape and a studded leather harness up top and a leather thong, fishnets and thigh-high patent vinyl boots below, Nicki's costume killed the sexy outfit game, giving Miley Cyrus' Lil Kim tribute? a run for her money. (MTV)
Coincidentally, talk show host Ellen DeGeneres dressed up as the self-proclaimed Barbie this year.
Ellen DeGeneres got into the Halloween spirit on her talk show by channeling recent guest Nicki Minaj in a barely-there, breast-baring costume. And Nicki wasn't mad — in fact, she took to Twitter to praise Ellen's clever get-up! Ellen DeGeneres, 55, isn't one for revealing her cleavage, but she broke tradition on Halloween to recreate the exact look rap queen Nicki Minaj sported during her September, 2013 appearance on the Ellen show. The talk show host always makes us laugh — and we're not the only ones she impressed with her costume! Nicki tweeted her approval on Oct. 31, saying, "I didn't know Ellen could get any sexier." (Hollywood Life)
Last year, pop star Miley Cyrus sparked widespread attention after rocking a Minaj-themed outfit.
Cyrus certainly got into the Halloween spirit, dressing up as a spot-on Nicki Minaj. On Wednesday (October 31), Miley tweeted a photo of herself as the Young Money rapper, opting not to recreate one specific Minaj outfit, but rather several different looks that Minaj has rocked. Cyrus covered up her short hair for a bright yellow wig, showed off mismatched nails, arm tattoos and a skin-tight leopard-print body suit, complete with butt padding. "@NICKIMINAJ you a stupppppiddddd hoe#stupittttstupitttt," Cyrus tweeted. It seems that Minaj not only approved of Cyrus' look since she retweeted her tweet, but was also flattered and is now considering a clever costume of her own. "I think I'm gonna go as Miley Cyrus because she's going as me, and I just saw her picture on Twitter," Minaj told Ryan Seacrest on Wednesday. "Should I do the short, blond cut like Miley?" (MTV)
Check out Nicki Minaj's interview:

Hi, a little more....
I think George Sylvester Callais is the son of Sylvester Callais (born about 1853 in Illinois) and Sarah Chenot (1849-1934). I think Sylvester is the son of Baptiste Callais (or Jean? John? Baptiste Callais). More research needed on that.
Birth records for George's children are found here:
Eleven children of George Sylvester Callais and Edith Marie Parker:
1) Luella Callais b 24 NOV 1918 Dakota county, MN
2) Kenneth Alfred Callais b 27 Dec 1920 in Rice county, MN

If you order a photocopy of George's original birth record, or marriage or death record, these should verify his parents' names. Such records can usually be ordered (from the relevant county vital records department) for under $20.

Find a Grave memorial for Sarah Chenot has links leading to much more information on this family - the link to George needs to be established, but this family is placed in East St. Louis, St. Clair county, Illinois, where George was born (per his World War I draft registration) and George's middle name of Sylvester also seems to tie him to Sylvester Callais,
Sarah Chenot (married name Callais)
Birth: Aug. 1, 1849 in Ridge Prairie, St. Clair, Illinois
Death: Mar. 4, 1934 in East Saint Louis, St. Clair, Illinois

You'll find more memorials for the family, including George and some of his children, on Find a Grave website.
George's son Kenneth Callais lived at one time in Pine City, Miinnesota, and George's son John married Rosalie and lived in Minnesota and died 25 Dec 1989, both facts per a descendant's post (Lisa).

Fugitive lip biter arrested in California

Knife-wielding man attacked Manchester officer, police say
Police said on Thursday night MHA representatives asked officers to check on Scott Rossello, 50, of 200 Hanover St., who reportedly was exhibiting hostile and irrational behavior earlier in the day.
As Devereaux approached Rossello's unit, he heard extremely loud music in the hallway coming from Rossello's apartment, and laughter and yelling when he knocked on the door.
Rossello finally opened the door but started to walk down the hallway.
Devereaux ordered him to stop and Rossello agreed to go back inside and speak with him. Once inside, however, police said Rossello moved toward a steak knife stuck in the wall and, ignoring Devereaux' order to stay away from the knife, grabbed it and turned toward the officer.
Devereaux struggled with Rossello as he allegedly tried to stab the officer in the face. Devereaux wrestled Rossello to the floor and, when other officers arrived, took the knife from him, police said.
Rossello allegedly continued to struggle violently with officers trying to handcuff him and he was zapped with a stun gun. Police said during the struggle Rossello sustained a cut to one of his fingers and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
He is charged with attempted first degree assault and resisting arrest.
At his arraignment Friday morning in 9th Circuit Court-Manchester District Division, police prosecuting Officer Richard Brown asked for $250,000 cash/surety bail, saying: "We feel he is a serious safety concern for others."
Judge William Lyons set bail at $100,000 cash/surety. Rossello could enter no plea to the felony charge in Circuit Court, so a probable cause hearing was set for March 14. Trial on the misdemeanor is April 4.

In 1987, Newsweek Magazine caught the public's attention after it labeled then-presidential candidate George H.W. Bush a "wimp."
The recent 109 degree temperature made me remember what seemed to be even hotter days. When my younger friends ask me if I ever had hot flashes, I have to laugh. Since I taught in an unair-conditioned school where required apparel was a dress, slip, underwear and stockings I was always in a state of hot flashes. If I ever had a medical hot flash, I do not know. School began in August. In a matter of minutes, not one thread of clothing was dry. In fact, at lunch, when allowed, I went home, took a bath, changed clothes, and ...
WASHINGTON -- Not surprisingly, Barbara Bush said it most succinctly: "The first lady is going to be criticized no matter what she does."
Talk about a "post-racial" America when President Barack Obama was elected has pretty much gone away, for good reason. Even he didn't believe it.

It's what's inside -- the verve; the drive; the untainted grit. It's the pilot light that never goes out. It's the fervor propelling an individual to impressive heights. It's the cause and effect. It's what makes a person leap over the same hurdles hundreds, thousands of times before ever getting it right. It's what makes a person perform 25,000 dives a year hoping to get one score that will count forever. It's what makes a person realize that to win it all, you can't be afraid to lose. It's what ...
Does President Barack Obama really believe entrepreneurs "didn't build" their businesses? Does his rival Mitt Romney really "like being able to fire people?" Welcome to summertime, when the fate of campaigns hangs on silly sound bites.
If you've been watching the Olympic soccer competition, chances are good that you're now in a catatonic state -- drooling on your shirt, immobilized by boredom and trying desperately to suck down enough cans of Red Bull and 5-Hour Energy to keep your peepers open.
Defying any semblance of logic, some political pundits are now chalking up South Carolina in the swing state category for November's general election.
At the beginning of one school year, I entered my room to see an extra row of filled desks as well as students enough to fill another row. There was hardly enough room to squeeze sideways through the rows to give help. If anyone had tried, bending would have presented a posterior to the pupil in the desk on the adjoining row. The students looked at me; I looked at them. Then they began to beg. "Please, Ms. Pruett, do not move any of us." They were smart enough to know no teacher could have so many students in one ...
WASHINGTON -- The video of James Holmes from inside the Arapahoe County Courthouse was as mesmerizing as it was creepy. His fluorescent mop of pink and orange hair. His vacant eyes, alternately bulging and droopy. Was he medicated? Crazy? Vamping for the camera? And the question, unbidden and against journalistic interest: Should we really be seeing this? Is justice best served by having a camera in this courtroom?
A long, long time ago... oh, wait, that's another pop culture reference.
It started accidentally. Some good ideas and memorable moments are like that. They aren't planned. They're born, bringing with them an ability to nudge a way naturally into our lives and become a tradition.
As a part of writing this column, I go to lots of meetings, community events and conferences all across the state in my never ending search to find out about the people, businesses and community groups that are doing good and important things to make our state better.
• "Glenn," writes my friend Waylon Fortenberry of Chesterfield County, "I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out."
WASHINGTON -- News that Pope Francis will visit the U.S. next year for the triennial World Meeting of Families brings elation to Catholics, excitement to pope watchers -- and perhaps a little chagrin to some who too soon interpreted Francis' broad compassion as a precursor to doctrinal changes related to marriage.
This space in the Friday edition of the Chronicle-Independent each week is where I am allowed to share my personal stories, opinions and basically whatever is on my mind as I write this column. I know I complain about a lot of things and, eventually, the time may come when I have covered everything that aggravates me and the rest of the columns in my career won't be the kind where you can imagine me pounding my fist on my desk as you read them. But, if that day ever does come, it's a long way off.
In 2008, a group of graduate students from the University of South Carolina's Public History Program produced a study entitled, "The Camden African-American Heritage Project." It was the product of a student group assignment conducted in 2005-06. The students were assisted by many Camden residents in their search for the history of African-Americans in Camden from the Colonial period through the era of civil rights. Though able to spend only one semester researching and writing, the students pulled together an admirable overview of the lives of African-Americans here. In their final recommendations they suggested, among other things, that an ...
I try to live life as a journey full of unknown destinations. And I do believe it is the journey that matters most. During the last year, I was blessed enough to experience a journey throughout our wonderful state of South Carolina. A campaign for governor is a journey through the hearts and souls of many people and places. A statewide campaign is sometimes brutal and sometimes joyful, but never dull. I treasure that journey and thank my friends in Camden and Kershaw County for letting me experience it.
WASHINGTON -- Millennials are foolhardy spendthrifts. But young people basically always are, and that's probably OK.
I used to have high and/or specific expectations for everything. I was never cynical. As a matter of fact, I was the most optimistic person I knew.

Still couldn't fault the Toshiba HD cameras at 80 quid a shot. Far better than iAnything let alone the flips.
Sanyo CG20 HD Digital Video Camera +4GB SDHC +Soft Case: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
Still couldn't fault the Toshiba HD cameras at 80 quid a shot. Far better than iAnything let alone the flips.
Personally I'm going to be looking at the Kodak Playsport line to fill the gap left by Flip. Prices on Amazon look good and they are water resistant as a bonus! Anyone have any experience with them yet?
I like the Flip kit ... it just worked. Never had any problems with the software either.
It is worth saying that in the 2 mobile tech toolkits we have out at schools (6 iPads, 6 iPod touchs, 6 Flips and 6 netbooks) the iPod touches have rendered the Flips redundant. They may cost more but they also do a heck of a lot more ...
I want a FlipLive!
Only a month ago, I was briefed by a Flip product manager on the newest model, which was to hit the market yesterday. He showed me a graph of the Flips sales; Flips now represent an astonishing 35 percent of the camcorder market. Theyre the No. 1 bestselling camcorder on Amazon. Theyre still selling fast.But theres a second part of the tragedy, too, something that nobody knows. That new Flip that the product manager showed me was astonishing. It was called FlipLive, and it added one powerful new feature to the standard Flip: live broadcasting to the Internet.
That is, when youre in a Wi-Fi hot spot, the entire world can see what youre filming. You can post a link to Twitter or Facebook, or send an e-mail link to friends. Anyone who clicks the link can see what youre seeing, in real timethousands of people at once.
Think how amazing that would be. The world could tune in, live, to join you in watching concerts. Shuttle launches. The plane in the Hudson. College lectures. Apple keynote speeches. Or your relative could join you for smaller, more personal events: weddings. Birthday parties. Graduations. First steps.
And the FlipLive was supposed to ship yesterday. April 13. The day after Cisco killed the Flip.
The Flip cameras were a good idea, nice and simple for users as all they needed to do was hit the big red button to record without worrying about other settings.
Software was a right pain as it forced you to use their stupid exe even though there was an MSI in the package?! Was wondering if there was a way to hack that so it would remove the need to run setup but in the end just chucked it on our image. The software didn't like network locations either although we tricked it with a little registry hack
Seems a bit dumb that they're killing it off completely, unless they were making a loss on each hardware unit sold? Kodak used to do something similar (Zi6 iirc?) so maybe that's the closest thing as a replacement?
I've gotta ask - why did people need to install software? The cameras just acted like memory sticks, why did everyone install the software? I've not installed it on any machines at our place!
Which means they can then import them into Windows Movie Maker
Mainly for the quick conversion button to put the videos in a standard format so we can edit with Movie Maker (the XP version doesn't like the codec Flip use for the HD files)
Forgot to mentioned we have the Flip Mino HDs so that might explain why
We have a few, but I wasn't a huge fan myself.
If people are looking around for an alternative, I'd suggest the Sony Bloggie - have a few of these too.
I've had a Sony Bloggie for a while now and think it's quite a solid bit of kit, recently (on the budget side of things) heard reasonable reports on the Kodak ZM1, check out the advertising section for spec and details.
Loved em for PE & dance. No software needed for the ones we got. No batteries either, just hook up to a usb socket and they charged. Hope someone does buy the division.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Laborious Day for Blue fans
Watching Roughriders clean up in LDC becoming sad routine
REGINA — The Labour Day Classic — Roughriders vs. Blue Bombers, Green and White crazies vs. Blue and Gold diehards, Saskatchewan vs. Manitoba — was once THE Canadian Football League rivalry.
It was a showdown with a healthy hate-on, fuelled in part by a begrudging and mutual respect. Yes, even in the darkest times in CFL history — when team payrolls were being covered by the league headquarters and the number of franchises fluctuated from year to year — this one game, this intense rivalry, gave hope the heartbeat would never die.
An example: in the mid-1990s the venerable New York Times, in an attempt to get a taste of the three-down game and discover the soul of a storied old league, came to Taylor Field for their answer.
But in recent years — eight of them to be exact — the Labour Day matchup has been more 'Clunker' than 'Classic.' The Roughriders have ruled this particular weekend dramatically, dating back to 2004, dropping some dominant Bomber sides and thoroughly spanking the weaker ones.
And so the 2013 Labour Day contest that pits the 7-1 Riders against the 1-7 Bombers has more of a funereal feel to it than the usual frat-house party vibe.
Not only is the home side 14 1/2-point favourites, the visitors seem so lost they are actually eliciting pity from folks here. And that's exactly the kind of sentiment that tends to take the oomph out of a rivalry.
Most importantly, there's also this yet-to-be-answered question: given all the turmoil in Winnipeg, do the Bombers themselves even believe they can win this game?
"I'm sure there's some doubts, we just have to work through those," said head coach Tim Burke. "That's just part of being a mature team, believing that you can get it done. There's going to be adversity in every game. Knowing that you can handle that adversity and overcome that adversity is part of it as well.
"There's probably doubts. That's one of the things I addressed with the defence. We can't be like that. We've got to be like we were in 2011 where we kept us in the whole game and let our offence have a chance to win it at the end."
To their credit, the Riders were spitting out all the proper and respectful sound bites about the Bombers on Saturday. Stuff like there being good athletes on the Bomber roster, they are playing for their jobs and yadda, yadda, yadda.
"Even last week when we were playing Edmonton everyone was saying the same thing," said former Bomber Brendan LaBatte. "But when you actually go out there and have to block the guys you're playing against... I mean, just because they're a bad team doesn't mean they have bad players. They've got some good guys and we're going to have to be buckled up and be in a fight because they've got a lot of fight in them."
Well... even that's been debatable of late in Bomberland. The Bomber defence has been called out this week for its effort, or lack thereof, in last week's loss to Hamilton. And when they saw their effort on film...
"Coach told us he thought he did a horrible job of coaching, but when you put the film on, it's the players out there playing the game and that wasn't the team we know we were capable of being," said cornerback Jovon Johnson. "After watching it, it kind of left a bad feeling in your stomach about just the way that we played."
What was evident watching the Riders at their walk-through on Saturday was a not-so-quiet confidence that comes from winning — and expecting to win — week after week after week. The Bombers, meanwhile, have been in a transition phase, what with management and coaching changes and the airlift of personnel now in full force.
Interestingly, it might be said what this rivalry needs is a douse of gasoline to stoke the fire again. And that would come — like it or not Rider faithful — from a Bomber win, as improbable and unlikely as that seems right now.
"We've been saying it for a couple of weeks now: any win in the CFL is nice to change the morale of a locker-room," said quarterback Justin Goltz, who will make his third start. "We've got a dark cloud over our heads the past couple of weeks and it'd be nice to break through and see a little sunshine."

Seattle minimum wage: Do it my way, says Sawant
Kshama Sawant has held office less than three months, but the Seattle City Council socialist wants her newly unveiled $15-an-hour minimum wage plan to be "the main agenda item" as Mayor Ed Murray's income advisory committee meets next week. Sawant laid down her agenda Wednesday in a very ideological statement, which accused "big business" of […] [Read More]

The Valley City State University Booster Board and Alumni Board invite alumni, fans and friends of Viking Athletics to attend a watch party Saturday, Nov. 22 starting at 12:30 p.m. at the Valley City Country Club.
Fans will be able to watch the Viking football playoff game which kicks off at 1 p.m. CST. The Booster and Alumni board will provide chili.Â
Come out to cheer on the Viking football team as they take on Carroll College in the first round of the NAIA playoffs. If you can't make it to the watch party, below are several ways to follow the game live.
HELENA, MONT. (VCSU) - More than 10 months worth of preparation culminates in one game Saturday for the VCSU football team.
After setting their team goals back in January – and working toward those goals through workouts, practices and games – the Vikings have accomplished many of those goals, including a conference championship and an NAIA playoff appearance.
Valley City State University did not get enough riders signed up for a fan bus to the NAIA football playoffs on Saturday, Nov. 22, where the Vikings take on Carroll College at 12 p.m. MST/1 p.m. CST in Helena, Mont.
Helena is located in west-central Montana and is approximately an 11-12 hour drive by car, mostly on interstate highways. Flying into Helena is also an option. Flights from Fargo and Bismarck would make stops in Minneapolis or Denver before flying into Helena.
VCSU has provided hotel information for those planning to make the trip via car or flight.
Valley City State University's senior Alley Theroux was named to the 2014 North Star Athletic Association (NSAA) All-Conference Volleyball Team Monday as an Outside Hitter. More in Tuesday's Times-Record.

I Need Help With Leftover Ham
I've got about three cups of leftover baked ham, already cubed, and need something interesting to do with it. I'm not in the mood for soup and made two quiches this morning. I've looked at recipes for ham salad but don't think I'd like them. Same goes for ham loaf -- most call for adding a pound or more of ground pork to the ham and the last thing I want is more pork. I was thinking of gruyere and ham crepes but the filling recipes I found online have sour cream in them, which does not appeal to me either. Does anyone have a good crepe filling recipe or suggest some other tasty way to unload this ham?
Mmmmmm. Make a big pot of baked beans to freeze for a Memorial Day cook out. Make a pot of lentils (sort of like soup, but you can serve it over rice). Add the chopped ham to an omelette. You can make crepes without sour cream. Just shred gruyere and add with the ham to the hot crepes. You can top with a sauce, such as hollandaise, if you wish. Make a jambalaya using the ham instead of, or in addition to, sausage. By the way, I freeze cubed baked ham in plastic bags - so you don't have to use it immediately.
Not particularly interesting, but for something a bit lighter, you could just put ham over your greens/veggies of choice and top with a low fat honey mustard salad dressing for a healthy entree salad. It would also be good in scrambled eggs.
Personally, I would freeze it as is, in smaller potions. Just right for a fast defrost for quick omlettes, salads, crepes etc. One long hectic day from now, you will be glad you did it.
Ham, onions, celery, tomatoes, rice, a bay leaf.
Lots of recipes on line.
Easy and it microwaves really well as a left over for lunches.
re: Chocolatechipkt
I did this after Easter w/all my leftover ham. Risotto with ham and peas.
Ham salad sandwiches! I toss it with mayo, relish, celery, chopped black olives, and some grated cheese. But whatever you like work as well.
How about scalloped potatoes and ham? That way the ham is the supporting actor rather than the star of the show. Scalloped potatoes are a definite comfort food - sort of old-fashioned but still a pleasing, easy meal. Be sure and use evaporated milk tho, for the creamiest texture!
I changed my mind and decided to try making ham salad for the first time using a Southern Cooking recipe. It was actually quite good, especially with the sweet pickles and juice. I thought the family would say eww yuck but they actually said hooray and yum. Go figure. Thanks for all your suggestions. http://southernfood.about.com/od/sand...
re: danhole
A gratin of potatoes, ham, chicken and gruyere comes to mind. Just make sure you crisp the ham and chicken chunks in some fat first - adds much flavour.
re: Bigtigger
I might cut ham into smaller pieces and putting it into a quesadilla with chopped onions and chopped tomato and then grill the whole thing.

Breaking Dawn Casts Three More Actresses to Play Renesmeeby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Mackenzie Foy can't do it all by herself.
This rising star has landed the key role of Renesmee in Breaking Dawn, but viewers will see this daughter of Edward and Bella at various stages of her childhood. Therefore, while Foy will be on screen for a majority of the film, the following young actresses will also take on the role for brief periods of time:
Eliza Faria: The five-year old will portray the youngest version of Renesmee. Making her big screen debut.
Rachel St. Gelais: Appeared in The Blind Side. Will be the body of Renesmee at six years old.
Sierra Pitkin: Played a role in Juno and a bit part on Fringe. Will provide the oldest body for Mackenzie Foy's head in Breaking Dawn.
Ok... Sooooo makenzie foy's head is going on all those little girls bodies. Got it. But i just hope it won't look weird. And mackenzie is. Defenitly the best pic for renesmee. She looks like an exact mix of edward and bella (or rob and kristen).:) CAN'T WAIT!!!!!:)
Kool they are so cute
I think they will figure things out I'm not going to get up set about this but it would be nice to get a good answer.
I hope they don't make her look too old just for convenience sake (big mistake in the Interview with the Vampire movie with Claudia - it totally ruined it for me.) Renesme is still very young, even at the end of the book...
I don't know about this. Mackenzie's head on all these body's?? I sure hope it looks real enough where we can't tell that it's really computer generated. And the 3rd girl's body is said to be used as the oldest body of Renesmee?? Well, I don't see why bc she looks not one bit older than Mackenzie Foy!! What't the point???
I've read that as a baby, Nessie will be CGI, and then they'll be using the body doubles with Makenzie's head.... I didn't realize that they were needing an older body though, at the most I thought from reading the book 4 times, Nessie would look to be about 7 which is one year younger than Makenzie.
I didn't get that they'd be sticking Mackenzie's head on any other bodies, but if you read the article for september and Jan as well then I can see where that idea came from.
Okay, I get what Kellie is saying. It would look weird to have Mackenzie's head on three different little girl's bodies and I don't think that all the "Special Effect" could work that out.
Kaitlyn is right they don't look enough like Mackenzie Foy to pay the same child in various stages of Reneseme's life.
That's great but where does Mackenzie Foy fit in if all the age slots are full? The other little girls are very pretty but Mackenzie seemed more suitable because she looks like both Edward and Bella?? And what about Reneseme as a baby?

Book blogger at Bookwi.se
Finding God's will is a common desire. Often people can be paralized because they are afraid of not finding God's will. Hearing God is a classic. This is the third copy of the book I have owned (one given and two purchased) over the years but the first time I am actually reading it.
I like that Willard starts by moving the pressure down a notch. He has a good illustration of the fact that no parent wants to tell their children everything that they should do. Parents want to teach their children how to do something, and expect that they will do it. If they are supposed to make their bed in the morning, they should make it every morning. Children complaining that the parent did not tell them this morning to make their bed will only incur the parent's wrath. So Willard starts telling us we should listen to what scripture says and do that.
Another good point that I have never really thought of, is that we should always read scripture assuming that the people of scripture were much like us. They were not particularly special people, they were sinful, afraid, made bad decisions, etc. If we see them as much like us, then we can assume that we to should be hearing from God and seeking to follow God's will in relatively similar ways as the biblical characters. Since reading that section, I have been more aware of the large number of Christians that actively resist thinking of biblical characters as 'like us'. I think it shows one area that we have far to go to move Evangelicals into historical Christian Orthodoxy.
Overall what I am most impressed by, is the biblical balance that Willard attempts to strike. When you discuss hearing from God there are lots of places to veer into shaky ground. And I know that some are of the opinion that even discussing hearing from God goes too far. But Willard attempts to keep the desire to hear from God, the ways we hear from God, the reality of the power of God, and the limitations of our own understanding.
This is incredible personal and interesting look at CS Lewis. These are letters that were intended to be read the original reader, not a wider audience. So Lewis is thinking on the fly. Giving ideas, working things out in written form, counseling a friend and learning from him. Great reminder that spiritual friendships are important. I only wish that the other side of the conversation were also present. That does not really detract from the books (you understand what Malcolm has said by Lewis' response) but I think it would be interesting to hear the other side as well.
There are very few books I have recommended more over the past year or so than Mark Noll's The Civil War as Theological Crisis. It has been about over a year since I originally read it on kindle and reviewed it, so I thought it was a good time to read it again.
One of the clear takeaways from this book is that we often do not see our own cultural blind spots. For instance, an argument that most pro-slavery Christians did not hear or respond to, is that the main difference between American Slavery and the slavery of biblical times was that American Slavery was racially based. Because civil war era White Christians were so convinced that Blacks as a race were inferior it was inconceivable to most that there could be non-racially based slavery or that free Blacks could or should be considered equal to Whites. And this was true for the vast majority of Christians whether they were from the North or the South, and whether they were for or against slavery.
Those outside the US were also able to call out Northern hypocrisy in ways that many that were in the US were blind to. Many Europeans wanted to question the North's willingness to participate in the economics of slavery (by carrying cotton and tobacco on its ships and making clothing in its factories) or by the widespread and overt racism that was true of both the North and the South's treatment of Blacks whether free or slave. Virtually no major US religious leader was for full citizenship of Blacks on biblical grounds let alone in practical issues like interracial marriage or education.
Noll makes clear what we often want to gloss over: issues of Biblical interpretation, cultural assumptions, ethics, history are complicated. We cannot view civil war era people as 'backward' or 'unenlightened' without questioning our own assumptions. What areas are we culturally blind to? Where does our own Christian ethics and theology fall short of the real goal of God?
Noll does not deal with this explicitly, but for me, I kept coming back to the fact that these people, that I theologically disagree with, were still Christians. I don't know how you can justify enslaving another human being, but they did. I would call that sin and I think it was. But sin does not prevent us from being Christian. Looking at it another way, Addiction can keep you from God. But a person can be saved and addicted to alcohol or drugs. The addiction (which is sin or at least is the result of sin) prevents you from living the full and complete life that Christ desires for you. But our salvation is the result of God's grace, not our sinlessness.
This is one of the best illustrations of why we need careful historians to help us remember the world and the history that came before us. The Civil War as Theological Crisis is not a simple book. Noll is a very nuanced historian and I am very much oversimplifying his argument, but it is well written and worth picking up is you are interested in history, the study of scripture, or the ways the church confronts culture.

Maya Angelou
When I was young, I used to
Watch behind the curtains
As men walked up and down the street. Wino men, old men.
Young men sharp as mustard.
See them. Men are always
Going somewhere.
They knew I was there. Fifteen
Years old and starving for them.
Under my window, they would pauses,
Their shoulders high like the
Breasts of a young girl,
Jacket tails slapping over
Those behinds,
One day they hold you in the
Palms of their hands, gentle, as if you
Were the last raw egg in the world. Then
They tighten up. Just a little. The
First squeeze is nice. A quick hug.
Soft into your defenselessness. A little
More. The hurt begins. Wrench out a
Smile that slides around the fear. When the
Air disappears,
Your mind pops, exploding fiercely, briefly,
Like the head of a kitchen match. Shattered.
It is your juice
That runs down their legs. Staining their shoes.
When the earth rights itself again,
And taste tries to return to the tongue,
Your body has slammed shut. Forever.
No keys exist.
Then the window draws full upon
Your mind. There, just beyond
The sway of curtains, men walk.
Knowing something.
Going someplace.
But this time, I will simply
Stand and watch.

I had booked a date two months ahead of time for one of the Durham escorts that I like to see often. The reason for my visit in the area was because I had to attend a big annual conference that I have to go to every year for work.
My company always pays for my room but I upgrade my room and get a nicer one! I make sure that it is on the other side of the hotel away from my coworkers. They do not know that I have companion friends in another country. I have to sneak around and tell them that I am going back to the room for the night to get some sleep.
It is like a game to me because I have not gotten caught yet and I like the thrill. I think that if I did get caught that my wife would find out from someone that I work with.
