Manna from heaven! Serve this delicious curd with meringues or pavlova and thick cream, on scones and muffins, or as a filling for cakes and tarts. I love adding a dollop, along with some vanilla yoghurt, to serve with Swiss muesli. Recipe can be halved, in which case use 2 extra large eggs.

Kanye West "Bound 2" Music Video: Kim Kardashian Topless! On a Motorcycle!by Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Kanye West has unveiled the official music video for "Bound 2," and it does not disappoint.
Appearing on Ellen and introducing the footage to fans, West doesn't actually appear in the video until approximately one minute in.
But then we see the rapper on his motorcycle, snow-capped mountains in the background and his fiancee posing seductively as a silhouette.
Fast forward a short while later and Kanye is on his bike with a topless Kim Kardashian, singing about vacations and Christmas and totally getting his mack on with his baby mama. Watch the video now:
We'd ask Barack Obama what he thinks of the "Bound 2" music video, but Kanye doesn't want the President uttering Kim's name.
Dope video!!!!!!!
This is all male ego. Tragically he has no respect for the mother of his child in this video - let alone for his audience.
And sadly she has none for herself. Who is going to teach their child self respect? Their idiots!!

There is no delicate way to put this. The folks who run the City of Manteca day-to-day are out of touch with the people they serve.
"People have a right to privacy."
What are you doing this weekend?
I plan on fighting crime Saturday night.
People, they say, get the government they ask for.
Manteca's municipal staff - based on the reality of budget cuts not to mention the City Council's own narrative - is doing a Herculean job of keeping things going.
A group of moms are demanding changes in their central east Manteca neighborhood after what happened to 11-year-old Hunter Davis and his sibling. They want it cleaned up and they are looking to the Manteca Police and City of Manteca to make that happen.
Too bad satirist Jonathan Swift isn't alive today and on the Manteca City Council.
Hunter Davis.
Where is Al Sharpton? Where is Jesse Jackson? After all, the brutal beating and humiliation of a Black woman was recently caught on video and disseminated widely for all to see, yet there is no outcry from the usual suspects who incite racial divide at every given opportunity.
It is now clearer than ever that the California Public Utilities Commission is not a neutral state agency trying to balance the interests of powerful energy companies such as PG&E and those of the little guy.
Manteca Unified has a big problem.
Cleaning my stove is a snap.
What harm does it do to have the homeless pushing shopping carts full of personal belongings around Manteca?
Alexander Bronson says he wants to "address all issues of concern in education to parents, staff, and students." Apparently those concerns for the 21-year-old USC graduate don't include character, ethics, honesty, or following the rules.
I confess.
The unemployment rate in Manteca is 9.6 percent.
It is easier to become a lawyer than to get a green card.
TURLOCK – When I think of Billie Joel, I don't think of Turlock.
Like many cities whose heydays in bygone eras have been become victims of the caprices of changing times, Tracy has gone through its own growing-up pains. A lot of that is starkly evident in its downtown area.
My apologies to the late Huell Howser on my impressions of downtown Lodi having that "wow" factor.
We are told 28-year-old carpet kept together with duct tape is deteriorating the quality of classroom education in Manteca Unified.
Come out to the Petsmart in Manteca and find your new furry friend on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. because the Stockton Animal Shelter will be displaying adoptable dogs of all sizes, color, and breeds. If you've been looking for your purrrrfect snuggle buddy, now is your chance, plus this weekend ALL adoptions are free.
They're sleek. They're cutting edge. They're today.
Roem Baur had it all on Tuesday night.
Stockton Police are alleging Manteca Unified School District board member Sam Fant is a person of interest in an Internet café gambling operation.
Water is water, right?

It's official; Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are legally separating.
Montag filed for the separation from her husband on Tuesday at a courthouse in Santa Monica. In the papers, Heidi listed the reason for the separation as "irreconcilable differences."
Since news of their separating broke, the reality star has publicized that she moved out of the home she shared with Pratt in Pacific Palisades, California and moved in with Jennifer Bunney, who is a friend of hers. She told PEOPLE, "There are so many lies out there about me and I just needed space – even away from my husband."
But some of Heidi's costars on MTV's The Hills are not buying the recent news. Audrina Patridge told PEOPLE that she believes it's "a joke," and that the couple is very much in love.
Montag's future plans include starring in a new reality show with pal Jennifer Bunney.

Obama seeks change in how U.S. pays to fight wildfires
WASHINGTON Feb 24 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will ask Congress in his budget proposal next week to change the way it pays for the soaring costs of fighting wildfires, the White House said on Monday, noting the new approach will ensure more money goes to preventing fires.
Obama met on Monday with governors from western states that have had massive fires in recent years, including Arizona, Colorado and Oregon, to discuss the approach.
"Population growth near forest and range lands, past management practices and a changing climate have dramatically increased wildfire risk and the resulting cost," White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.
The Agriculture and Interior department currently base their fire-fighting budgets on a 10-year average of costs, which left them underfunded for 8 of the past 10 years, and forced to draw from fire prevention programs to make up the costs.
"Unfortunately, the current way that the government pays for fire suppression and preparedness costs is ill-suited to the increasing severity and cost of fires," Carney said.
Obama supports legislation sponsored by Oregon Democrat Ron Wyden and Idaho Republican Mike Crapo that would treat the largest fires as natural disasters, meaning funds would come from disaster accounts.
The senators estimate removing the largest 1 percent of fires from regular budgets would free up to $412 million for fire prevention projects.
"The largest wildfires are natural disasters, no different from tornadoes or earthquakes," Wyden said in a statement.
Obama has pledged to do more to address climate change and help communities prepare for the impact of severe weather. Earlier this month, he toured parts of California's drought zone, and stressed that governments need to do more to curb carbon emissions blamed for climate change.

Alas we are leaving Switzerland, it is a glorious sunny morning so the Matterhorn was very visible and glowing in the early morning light. We are in the train to Visp where we connect with the train to Geneva. As we move away from Zermatt the clouds close in. From Visp 2 1/2 hours to Geneva airport passing through small towns and larger ones like Montreux, Lausanne and ...
Zermatt and the Matterhorn
... their yellow fall colours. The rivers and lakes are coloured by glacial flour and a milky turquoise. The buildings have slate roofs often with orange lichen growing on them and some of the buildings are perched on stilts with flat slate rocks which are to keep the mice out apparently. Later we visit the Matterhorn museum and learn more about the climbers and the way of life of the people of Zermatt. It will be sad to leave ...
Glacier Express to Zermatt
Last night in Luzern we were entertained with a lightning and thunder storm. The morning clear skies - we walked along the lakeshore, lovely. We ventured into the old town Luzern. Had to see the Medieval bridges and the beautiful old buildings decorated with ornate designs or scenes. Luzern is a beautiful city. We travel from Luzern to Zermatt by train. We have three trains with transfer times of around 5 minutes in between so ...
Day 11 - From peak to peak
... that's still visited by climbers today. This is where we saw a gentleman hiking, he was moving along at a slow pace, heading down to the chapel. We passed along side and I realized he had to be 90 or more. I wanted to stop and shake his hand, as he was such an inspiration to see moving along on that trail.
Next, we decided to head back up to Glacier Paradise, since the sky was pretty much cloud free. We had noticed the snow blowing off ...

Linda Waite, Health & Well-Being of Adults over 60
Kim, J., Edward Norton, and S.C. Stearns. 2009. "Transportation Brokerage Services and Medicaid Beneficiaries' Access to Care." Health Services Research, 44(1): 145-161.
To examine the effect of capitated transportation brokerage services on Medicaid beneficiaries' access to care and expenditures. The study period from 1996 to 1999 corresponds to the period of a natural experiment during which Georgia and Kentucky implemented transportation brokerage services. Effects were estimated for asthmatic children and diabetic adults. We used difference-in-differences models to assess the effects of transportation brokerage services on access to care, measured by Medicaid expenditures and health services use. The study design is strengthened by the staggered implementation dates between states and within each state. For asthmatic children, transportation brokerage services increased nonemergency transportation expenditures and the likelihood of using any services; reductions in monthly expenditures more than offsetting the increased transportation costs. For diabetic adults, nonemergency transportation costs decreased despite increased monthly use of health services; average monthly medical expenditures and the likelihood of hospital admission for an ambulatory care-sensitive condition (ACSC) also decreased. The shift to transportation brokerage services improved access to care among Medicaid beneficiaries and decreased the expenditures. The increase in access combined with reduced hospitalizations for asthmatic children and ACSC admissions for diabetic adults are suggestive of improvements in health outcomes.

Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)
With Fever The Day Has Passed
could not have a warm shower first
my wife said soup was getting cold
and the heat of the soup is good
for fever to bring out the sweat
perhaps my head is supposed
to burn
with fever the day has passed
in blessed sleep night has quiet
creeping come with this fever
light headed dizzy flying flu
is timeless in circles of energy
fleeting lapping gone

I'm so happy things are going to be ok. If they can fix her eyelid that would be great. You are very lucky to have Nik and she is lucky to have both of you.
After this last month and YDD being at the hospital or the Dr's every week sometimes every day, even her being in the hospital

You're a good mom Dee and I'm glad you take such good care of those you love.

Aw, 6 wks w/a headache, the poor kid....That is just unthinkable in my mind! In fact, it makes my head hurt!!
|Sat, 03-06-2010 - 12:05am
The Dr called off sick today so we will be seeing the Dr that put her in the hospital a month ago, not the one that we didn't' like. She has to pass the one class but she could fail 4 classes and still have all the credits she needs to graduate on time. We picked up the paper work for home bound lessons for her and they want us to sign a paper that allows them access to all of her medical records Dr notes and test and all the scans. The paper work states once they get these they can give them to anyone and not be bound by Federal privacy laws. I don't feel this is something I'm willing to sign.
|Sat, 03-06-2010 - 9:36am
This is one of the reasons that schools drove me crazy. I wouldn't sign those papers those papers are personal medical records & they don't need to have them in their files for anyone to look at & read. You have documentation that she was in the hospital & has been sick. let them call DFS don't worry about it you need to take care of your dd. Just when you have enough stress going on the school wants to add more. Like I said this is one reason these schools drive me crazy.
BTW, last yr. when dh was in the hospital the school in Maine couldn't have been more understanding, they didn't want to add any more stress to dd or to me. I still can't believe how good they were. We need more schools like that one.

The cycling guides at Central Park Bike Tours shepherd customers through the Big Apple?s lively core during informative tours and rent out bikes so explorers can discover the city at their own pace. The fleet of 2014 Trek Allant 7 that make up the rental bikes are well maintained for maximum safety and comfort, and rentals are available for a variety of durations. Multilingual guides ferry tourists past Manhattan's and Brooklyn?s storied sights, such as Central Park, Times Square, Greenwich Village, Little Italy, and the location where former mayor Ed Koch was famously encased in ice. A photo tour focuses on scenic locales as shutterbugs artistically document their surroundings.
Ray, the co-owner of Ray's Bike Rentals, was a New Jersey State champion bike racer, a race promoter, and ran a bike store for 15 years. Today he's hopped off the seat to give others a chance to ride. He and co-owner Cathy have set up their bike-rental kiosk at the ferry pier in Fort Hancock. They rent beach cruisers, multi-gear bikes, and tandems. For families, they rent kid-size bikes as well as bike carts for children and tag-alongs.
Exercising can be frustrating if you don't see results. In addition to a slimmer physique, guests at Endure Cycling can see the numerical breakdown of their workout—from the amount of pedal strokes to the number of calories burned to their heart rate throughout their stationary journey. Here, the stationary bicycles use internal sensors to monitor each individual's performance, allowing students to track their progress over time. After saddling up on one of the studio's M3+ indoor cycles, cyclers join a certified instructor on a simulated joyride through a pre-programmed series of climbs, restorative plateaus, and thrilling loop-de-loops while high-energy music helps to keep them motivated. Smart sensors track the RPMs of each bike as well as the rider's heart rate, transmitting data to the room's flat-screen television in real time and storing it for future review. This allows students to keep an eye on their numbers throughout each workout, or go online after class and chart their improvement across multiple sessions to print out and put on their fridge.
Kettlebells and TRX suspension-training are just a few of the tools the instructors at Pure Energy Fitness use to strengthen and sculpt physiques. Students can focus on building muscles, burning calories and toning muscles in spin classes, or combining cardiovascular exercise with strengthening resistance routines in boot-camp sessions.
The indoor-cycling haven boasts a team of motivating trainers dedicated to sculpting participants with challenging, full-body workout classes on the multifitness level RealRyder bikes. Built to imitate bona fide outdoor-cycling apparatuses and effectively easy on your joints, RealRyder bikes steer, turn, and lean with your movements, unlike stationary bikes, which stand around and jealously scoff at sweaty attempts toward betterment.
An indoor-cycling studio, Breakaway Ryder uses stationary RealRyder bicycles, which tilt and lean in an effort to provide a full-body workout. Exercisers hop off of the polished, wooden studio-floor and on to one of several stationary bikes, where their legs furiously pump in group classes. Certified instructors lead them in cross-training sessions, orchestrating tilts and turns that exercise the core as well as the lower body.

We had a camping themed sleepover birthday party for my son's 7th birthday! We ended up inviting a ton of kids but they had a blast and we survived! It will go down in history as the most epic sleepover ever - at least in my son's eyes!
I got these ADORABLE paper backgrounds and camping clip art files from Jessica Sawyer Design on Etsy (purchase HERE). I used her files to create my invitation and all of these cute camping themed items! I also used mostly "Hallandale Deco JL" font plus "Cicle Gordita" font and "DriftType" font. Here is the invitation. We did not sleep outside and I gave 2 pick-up options because I didn't know some of the parents very well and didn't want the child not to come even if they couldn't spend the night!
When the kids arrived, I gave them an orange bandana to wear and let them play outside for a little while. (The picture is really cute of all of them in their orange bandanas!) Next, we ate dinner, which I had set up outside. To decorate, I made a "Camp James" banner and used orange and lime green colors. For the banner, I used burlap triangles that I found at Hobby Lobby and added letters cut by my Silhouette ("Hallandale Deco JL" font). I served hot dogs, chips, trail mix, watermelon, and chocolate dipped marshmallows.
To make the chocolate dipped marshmallows: melt chocolate, dip in large marshmallows about half way, then drop in graham cracker crumbs to coat the bottom, and let dry. I added tags to the marshmallows (download HERE), which I taped to halved orange chevron straws.
After dinner, we played games! We played flashlight tag, had a sack race, played "dead fish" (where you were out if you laughed or moved), and played the "mosquito bite game" (where the kids were given a sheet of bug stickers and tried to put them on each other without getting caught). We also did Camp Charades (download HERE). Here's a picture of page 1:
And, we had a Nature Walk scavenger hunt (download HERE).
Next, we ate cake and the kids came inside to settle down and watch a movie. In the morning, we gave out brown favor bags that I had stamped and put their names on. The favor bag had a flashlight, their orange bandana, the scavenger hunt items including a wooden pencil, any leftover bug stickers, candy, and a s'more kit. I attached a "Thanks Happy Camper" tag (download HERE). I individually packaged the s'more kit with 2 whole graham crackers, 1 Hershey bar, and 2 very large s'more marshmallows. I attached a "S'more for Later" tag (download HERE).
Here are some camping thank you notes too (download HERE)! This is a picture of page 1, but there are a couple of different wording options on the 2 page download. It was a super fun party!

Birthday Pudding
My son wanted to bring a birthday snack to school for his birthday, but the snack has to meet certain criteria to be served at school. We were able to get Sugar Free Pudding that qualified as a healthy snack. I added Happy Birthday labels that I printed on sticker paper and cut out with a 2" circle punch. You can download these labels HERE (without the name). Then, I tied a spoon to the side. Yummy!
Happy Fall Y'all Basket
I made a Happy Fall Y'all Basket for the school silent auction this year. It turned out so cute! We included a beautiful brown wicker basket, a large chevron "Harvest Blessing" pumpkin hanger or stand, an elegant red velvet plush throw, an ornate decorative owl, a tin "Gather Together" sign with orange burlap bow, a lovely decorative pumpkin and gourd set, 6 festive fall cookie cutters, a spiced apple cider scented candle, a pumpkin spice muffin mix, a matching fall hand towel & potholder, and a sweet cinnamon pumpkin foaming hand soap. The lucky recipient will be ready for fall!

Painter's Tape Artwork
I've been updating my Art Wall (see post) and needed some more art for my 6 year old son. We decided to make this simple painter's tape artwork for the wall! It was so easy and turned out great!
I bought a blank canvas and attached blue painter's tape in random patterns across it. Make sure to press the tape down very well. Then my son painted each shape with the color of his choice using acrylic paint. I let it dry completely and then carefully peeled off the painter's tape. (We only had a problem with a couple of colors getting under the tape and I think these were some older bottles of paint that were a more liquid consistency. So, watch for that if you are using leftover paint.) It looks awesome on the art wall!!

Back to School Dry Erase Basket
I assembled this basket for our Back to School teacher gift this year. It was less time consuming than the one from last year (see post) but still full of useful supplies! I got lots of dry erase markers, 2 erasers, cleaning spray, and a small magnetic caddy. I got the basket at Dollar Tree and attached ribbon with double sided tape. I cut pink cardstock with a 2.5" scallop punch and blue cardstock with a 2" circle punch and then laminated both. Then, I just added the foam "Z" sticker and attached it all to the ribbon. We're ready for school!

Miles to end polio: $6 million crosses the finish line for polio eradication
Rotary General Secretary John Hewko and six RI staff members bicycled 104 miles in Tucson Arizona, USA, on Saturday, for the Miles to End Polio event, raising more than $6 million for polio eradication.

The fundraising ride is part of the annual El Tour de Tucson bike event in Tucson, Arizona, USA. The race attracts more than 9,000 cyclists a year, making it one of the top cycling events in the U.S. The...

A major breakthrough against polio
Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) are approaching a significant milestone: the eradication of type 3 wild poliovirus. The last case of polio caused by the type 3 virus was reported in Yobe, Nigeria, on 10 November 2012. "We may have eradicated a second of three; that's a major milestone," said Dr. Stephen Cochi, a senior adviser at the Center for Global Health at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, speaking to the BBC. Rotary has played an important role in bringing type 3 polio close to extinction. PolioPlus grants have provided key...

Raymond Hartstein, 1918-2014
Ray Hartstein
By Joan Giangrasse Kates
September 19, 2014
Raymond Hartstein, the founding chairman of Oakton Community College, spearheaded the development of the Skokie campus and was on hand with his family in 1995 when it was named the Raymond Hartstein Campus in his honor.
"I remember standing next to my dad at the ribbon-cutting and feeling so proud because I knew how hard he'd worked to get that campus built," said his son Elliott. "It wasn't that he donated a lot of money. What he gave was his blood, sweat and tears.
"Things aren't usually named after people until long after they're gone. I'm just glad he lived to see how much he was appreciated for all he had done."
Mr. Hartstein, 96, of Skokie, a former longtime executive with Brunswick Corp. and General Motors, died of natural causes Sunday, Sept. 7, at Brookdale Plaza, a senior-living facility in Vernon Hills. He served as a board member for 35 years at Oakton as well.
"He was the kind of leader always quick to acknowledge and praise the contributions of anyone affiliated with Oakton Community College and would send out countless 'thank you' notes thanking those that gave of their time, resources and energies," said Oakton President Margaret B. Lee, who first met Hartstein 30 years ago, when she began working at the college. "But the fact is, Ray is why we're here at all today. He was a teacher, mentor and an advocate. He was an agent for change when we needed it most."
The college first opened its doors in fall 1970 to 832 students. It consisted of four factory buildings at Nagle Avenue and Oakton Street in Morton Grove. It now has its main campus in Des Plaines and another in Skokie, which both opened in 1980.
"Ray was never a remote board member, but rather someone involved at every level," Lee said. "He was a thinker and doer. His dream was to make a quality public education.

Dr. Barry Bryant, Associate Professor of United Methodist and Wesleyan Studies, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary located at 2121 Sheridan Rd. Evanston, Illinois 60201 was the Guest Speaker at our luncheon weekly meeting of August 19, 2014. His subject was about Social Differences amongst Different Cultures.
In the short time allowed to speak (only 30 minutes), Dr. Bryant discussed the significance of cultural differences to the mission of Rotary International and to Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, where he teaches. In my opinion, a very complex subject requiring much more time.
We share a common value "he said". Future population growth among the white population in the US means "white culture" will soon become a minority status in the US. This means that "white normativity" and "white privilege" must be questioned and challenge. Because of this the importance of competency in dealing with people in cross-cultural situations, whether on the south side of Evanston or in Africa, is crucial to the mission of Rotary International. Cross-cultural competency consists of self-knowledge, empathy, the knowledge of other cultures, self-confidence, and the knowledge of one's own culture.

Once There Were Four Men …
It was February 23, 1905 that Paul Harris, an attorney, invited three men to meet in an office in Chicago to discuss organization of a club based on the idea that Harris had been developing for several years — that men in business could and should be personal friends. Men invited included a coal dealer, a mining engineer, and a merchant tailor. The following day, Harris interested a printer and a real estate dealer. Within a short time the Rotary Club organization was complete. The coal dealer, Silvester Schiele, was one of Paul's earliest clients and the two of them had discussed this idea at length. Harry Ruggles, Paul's printer had also been involved in early discussions. Paul Harris declined any office in the new club and did not become its President until two years later.
It is significant that each of the first six members, of this first Rotary Club was a comparative stranger, [with the exception of Harris, Schiele, and Ruggles] in a large city; who had come from a small town to Chicago to go into business. And each, undoubtedly, felt the need of personal friendships to replace those that had been severed by removal from his former home. The aim of the first Rotary Club was the encouragement of friendship, fellowship and mutual assistance.
To be Continued next week…..

Club Member and Past District Governor Mike Yesner, was the Guest Speaker at our February 25, 2014 weekly Meeting.
Governor Mike presentation topic was about "Rotary HealthRays" A Rotary District 6440 Projects designed to install 29 digital x-ray machines in Guatemala at a cost of $100,000 each. Two machines have already been installed and a third one is on the way. Already doctors at the clinic have seen patients come in the evening after work for treatment of illnesses and injuries, for which they previously would have postponed treatment in order not to miss time at work traveling to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. X-rays from the clinic can be read almost immediately by a radiologist at the central hospital and an evaluation made available to the clinic doctor to guide treatment.
The cost for these machines is being realized by utilizing a Rotary Foundation mechanism called "Global Grant" put together by Rotary District 6440 and other Rotary Clubs. This project is a forerunner that could be expanded to many other impoverished areas in the world.

From District 6440 Governor Sarah Oliver
I just have had the privilege of seeing and hearing about the positive health impacts of our installation of the first of 29 digital x-ray machines in Guatemala. In the roughly five months that the x-ray package has been operational in Mixco, doctors at the clinic have seen patients come in after work at 5:00 PM for treatment of illnesses and injuries for which they previously would have deferred treatment in order not to miss a day or more of work traveling to the hospital for evaluation and treatment. X-rays from the clinic can be read almost immediately by a radiologist at the central hospital and an evaluation made available to the clinic doctor to guide treatment.
The government even has added a trauma specialist physician at Mixco because so many more medical situations can be addressed locally. The second machine of the planned 29 was installed a week ago, and the Global Grant application for installation #3 is being finalized.
