One product that I failed to mention when I was listing the Top Products of 2013 is ActiveGuard Mattress Liners. This product has made so many people be able to fulfill the saying, good night, sleep tight, and dont let the bedbugs bite, that it is unreal. ActiveGuard Mattress Liners also control dust mites that can trigger asthma.
ActiveGuard Mattress Liners were develop as an extension of the globally used mosquito nets (many of which Bill Gates has funded to wipe out malaria).
These mattress liners are easy for one person to put on a bed or box spring. The liner is basically a fitted sheet and is way easier to deal with than an encasement that requires you to put a mattress or box spring in a big bag that zippers shut (mattresses are heavy and big so not too easy for most people). Mattresses and box springs are very expensive.
With the ActiveGuard Mattress Liners you do not have to throw away your mattress and box springs.
I look at ActiveGuard Mattress Liners as the preemergent/post emergent control of the bedbug world. If you have an infestation, you can put on an ActiveGuard Mattress Liner and many of the bedbugs will be dead within 24 hours. Some of the more resistant bedbugs could take up to 72 hours. Many hotels are using ActiveGuard Mattress Liners preventively to control bedbugs. The revenue lost in one night quickly pays for the liner.
ActiveGuard Mattress Liners work 24/7 for up to two years. While you try to control the bedbugs in your house, you will be able to sleep easy on your own mattress. With the amount of people in tears that we have seen in Possums this is pretty inexpensive control.
This product is EPA Toxicology Category IV by all routes of exposure. Therefore no signal word nor Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animal Statements are required. The product does not repel bedbugs, it kills them.
If you have bedbugs or know someone who does, let them know about ActiveGuard Mattress Liners.
Always read, understand and follow product label. The product label is a Federal Law.

Hello post-preeclampsia moms, I wanted to post a heads up about an opportunity to help preeclampsia research by participating in a study being conducted by the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at Texas Health Presbyterian in Dallas. This has already been reviewed and approved by the Preeclampsia Foundation and the researchers had a table at the DFW Promise Walk. I decided not to participate myself because I've got my hands full with some non-preeclampsia related health issues, but I love that the research is happening, and thought I'd put the word out for anyone who wasn't able to attend the walk and/or hadn't heard about the opportunity to participate & might be interested. I hope they get as many participants as they need and that it helps researchers better understand the disease!
For more info, it is called the Pregnancy and Hypertension study, and the contact is TiffanyBivens (@Texashealth.org).

Thursday, June 23, 2011
I hadn't baked in several days. Or has it been weeks? The chill that has hijacked summer along with the damp seeping into the apartment uninvited has sapped my energy and my baking mojo seems to have withered and died a slow, numbing death. But deprivation seems to have woken something animal in my son, the one who complains of too much cake being shoved down his throat, the one who implores day after day that I leave him and his friends alone, to stop coming into his bedroom while they work bearing plate upon plate of baked goods. The one who always has unannounced (to me) plans for dinner, leaving me with too much on my hands and Tupperware containers full of uneaten scraps. He and Valentin, who has moved in for the month of June, spend their days in the back bedrooms working on end-of-the-school-year projects and various work assignments. They occasionally wander out of the darkness and into our half of the apartment looking for something to eat, often finding the cupboard – and refrigerator - bare. JP and I finally strapped on our safety helmets and buckled on our humor jackets, grabbed the stack of baskets and bags and made our way to the grocery store, ready to forage, hunt and gather what to feed a small family up and down the savage, untamed aisles of our local hypermarché, hoping to stave off hunger and save the young. But apparently it was not enough for the young cub. The same old same old provisions piled up around him and tumbled out a refrigerator door opened much too quickly: packs of ravioli and tortellini, cured meats and ham, cheeses and yogurts just weren't enough to soothe the savage beast. He was bored and indignant! And with teeth bared, he spit out his displeasure at always either having too much or not enough or simply not what he craved! I was indeed a bad mother!
As the sun threatened to break through the clouds and illuminate the steely skies, as the wind died down just briefly enough to give us hope, something stirred deep down inside of me that put me back in the mood to bake. Or maybe it was a mother's base instinct to nourish her offspring. I don't know. But whatever it was grabbed me by the arm and yanked me into Clem's bedroom where I asked, "What would you like me to bake?" My baby boy, my darling son looked at me, eyes quickly darting back and forth on the lookout for imminent danger, glancing up at me then down in embarrassment. "Mom," he asked, "can you make something savory?"
As the school year winds down and the students filter slowly out of town one by one, as the boys work diligently on their models and designs, they have indeed been eating dinner with us more and more often, actually getting a kick out of their evenings in. They have enjoyed both of JP's lasagnas, engaging in and appreciating the lively conversation with the "old folks", even doing the washing up when the meals were done. Well, almost. Scratching the old noggin, I searched my brain high and low for an idea, any idea, of what to make. A baker more than a cook, I scrolled through my usual repertoire of savory goodies, and a wonderful thought struck me! On our recent visit to an old friend of JP's, his wife had prepared a fabulous rustic Mushroom Quiche, studded with smoked bacon, rich with cheese and browned to an invitingly golden crust. Her deep-dish quiche was succulent, flavorful and comforting; served with a crisp green salad, it made for the perfect meal eaten under the trees, in the waning sunlight in the cool of the garden. Clem always loved a good quiche, the gourmand in him reveling in the creamy cheesiness at once both homey and sumptuous. He has gobbled down my Zucchini Ricotta Feta Tart and adored my Clafoutis of Ratte Potatoes, Asparagus and Bleu d'Avergne. He loves a good old-fashioned Quiche Lorraine, which I make following my brother's recipe. Tender, flakey crust, cheesy goodness (for the cheese fanatic that he is) thick with fresh cream and rich in eggs, a quiche is a wondrous thing, enough to sate a young cub yet served with a crisp garden salad a satisfying yet light meal for everyone. And I was determined to put this favorite back on the menu.
I decided to take the idea of a Mushroom Quiche yet replace the smoked bacon with golden caramelized onions and lots of them! Add to that a couple of healthy handfuls of nutty emmenthal or gruyère cheese and the whole dusted generously with freshly grated Parmesan. Needless to say, my Caramelized Onion-Mushroom Quiche was a hit with the guys who then happily heated up and enjoyed the last remaining slices for lunch the following day as well. Now what to make next….?
JP still threatens … tempts me with a weeklong bike trip up the historic and picturesque Nantes-Brest Canal. Purchases must be made: a bike for me, ponchos for the ever-possible downpour, saddlebags in which to pack our meager provisions and enough snacks to fill up at least one saddlebag (if he complains then none for him!). Preparations made while we wait for the return of pleasant, summery weather, if indeed our brief hint of summer has not already ceded her place to an early, overly ambitious autumn at the ready to muscle her way in and stay.
(Update: as you read this, I will be on the road! Nervous and excited but it should be a fun adventure! I hope to be keeping in touch via twitter, so make sure you are following @lifesafeast to hear all about what we are up to, what we are seeing, what we are eating and any exploits, happenings, encounters, ordeals and escapades we may have... and both young men have passed all their exams with flying colors!)
Short crust pastry for one 9- or 10-inch pie plate (recipe follows), prebaked
2 medium yellow onions, cut in half and thinly sliced
11 to 14 oz (300 to 400 g) white mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and sliced
2 – 3 Tbs (30 – 45 g) butter for sautéing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5 large eggs
1 ½ cups mixture of light or heavy cream and whole milk
¾ tsp salt
Generous grinding of black pepper
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
About ½ to 1 Tbs unsalted butter
About 1 cup grated gruyère, emmenthal or Swiss cheese (full-flavored & nutty)
2 – 3 Tbs freshly grated Parmesan
Prepare the Short Crust Pastry:
1 3/4 cups (245 g) flour
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp sugar
12 ½ Tbs (180 g) unsalted butter
6 Tbs cold water
Place the flour, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Add the cubes of butter, tossing to coat with flour so they don't stick together. Using the tips of your fingers and thumbs, rub the butter and flour together rapidly as if pushing the butter into the flour until the mixture is crumbly and it resembles damp sand. Do not overwork this mixture as the butter will melt and start to clump; it will be blended better later.
Add about 4 tablespoons of the cold water and blend vigorously with a fork. Add more water, as much as needed, onto the dry flour and continue to stir up from the bottom until all of the dry ingredients are moistened and the dough begins pulling together in a shaggy ball.
Scrape the dough out onto a floured work surface. With the heel of one hand, rapidly smear and push the dough onto the surface and away from you, about a tablespoon of dough at a time, smearing it onto the work surface. This will complete the blending of the butter and the flour.
Scrape the dough up and gather it into a ball. Knead gently and briefly, just enough to make a smooth, homogenous ball of dough. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm enough to roll out easily, about 15 minutes.
Lightly butter a quiche or tart pan (if using the smaller diameter, make sure the sides of the pan are higher/deeper). I used a 9-inch wide x 2-inch deep (23 x 5 cm) tart pan.
Roll out the dough on a well-floured work surface to fit the pie tin. Gently lift and fit into the pie tin, lifting and pressing the dough into the corners. Crimp the edges and trim. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork before baking.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the plastic and place a square of parchment or oven paper in the shell and weigh down with dried beans or pastry weights. Bake for 8 or 9 minutes then remove from the oven. Carefully (so as not to burn yourself) lift out the parchment and beans and return the shell to the oven for an additional 5 to 8 minutes or until pale and light golden brown. Remove from the oven to a cooling rack or wooden cutting board.
Lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Quiche Filling:
Slice the onions thin and chop into large dice. Heat a skillet, melt about a tablespoon of butter and sauté the onions over medium-low to medium heat, stirring often, until golden and tender. If you like, add about half a teaspoon of sugar to the onions to help the caramelization process. Scrape the caramelized onions onto a plate or bowl and add another tablespoon butter to the skillet. When the butter is melted, add half the mushrooms, salt and pepper, then, stirring often, cook until sautéed and tender. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the rest of the butter and mushrooms.
Spread the caramelized onions in the prebaked shell then cover with the mushrooms. Cover evenly with the grated gruyère, emmenthal or Swiss cheese.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Whisk in the cream and milk along with the salt, pepper and nutmeg until well combined. Pour this over the vegetables in the tart shell. Sprinkle with as much or as little of the grated Parmesan as you like, dot with small bits of butter then bake for about 40 minutes or until slightly puffed, a deep golden and set.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool briefly then serve with a garden salad and a loaf of bread.

Perfectly done, Jamie. I can't wait to try you crust recipe. I've been unhappy with my recipe and am very happy to find a new one. Prebaking is the secret for sure. I hate a soggy bottom crust.

Quiche and with caramelized onions! You took my breath away with that heavenly baked slice, Jamie! Have been following your travel feats on FB already. Love all the beautiful places you visited. Such daring and strenuous adventurers. So this is the reason you stay in the figure you are in now :)

- Barbara | Creative Culinary said...
Looks amazing and not having had breakfast yet, I'm now dying for a slice of your quiche.
I tried caramelized onions in a quiche a while back and it was a moment of 'Oh why have I never done THIS before?' it was so good. I think I did bacon and onions but now am actually salivating at the thought of...bacon, mushrooms AND onions.
I think I'm gonna need a bigger pie plate and it's all your fault! :)
- July 3, 2011 at 8:03 AM
- Shulie said...
You know whenever I make quiches even following a recipe to the dot I don't like it but whenever someone else makes it I absolutely adore it. Just taste better, so girl hand aslice over! :) We love mushrooms and this version with caramelized onions looks incredible!!
- July 3, 2011 at 9:55 AM

This is a MUST MAKE! My husband and I would both LOVE it! Thanks for the winning recipe:)

What a delicious treat, I love quiches and mushrooms just take it to the next level.
- July 3, 2011 at 2:25 PM
- Carolyn Jung said...
Quiche may not be trendy. But it never ceases to satisfy. You just can't go wrong with buttery pastry crust with a savory, eggy filling.
- July 4, 2011 at 2:30 PM
- Lorraine @ Not Quite Nigella said...
Jamie I loved your story as I think I would be a mother exactly like you! There would be cakes a plenty and lots of interrupting friends with trays of baked goods. That's why I think I'd do better with girl-we just like cakes more! :P
- July 5, 2011 at 6:07 AM

There is nothing quite as satisfying as a well done quiche. Love the layered flavors here.
Look forward to following your kitchen adventures here.
Be well

- Emma said...
I DID end up making this! And it WAS the quiche that made me fall in love!
I decided to add the bacon back in, but kept both the onions and mushrooms as well. It was fabulous, and well-received at the dinner table. Before we finished the first quiche, another was requested:)
Thank you!
- July 14, 2011 at 12:12 PM

@Emma: BRILLIANT!! So wonderful that my quiche made you fall in love! Funny thing is i just made another quiche recipe tonight that was twice as delicious.... so watch out and be prepared!

I love your stories, Jamie, and I LOVE this quiche! Your son is a lucky young man (make sure you tell him so).
- July 30, 2011 at 2:05 AM
Yum Yum! I have made this quiche twice now and it is superb! Thanks so much for the recipe. I served it tonight with a tabouleh salad, which beautifully offset the richness of the quiche. A quiche recipe that is going to be a family favourite!

Great writers deal with the human condition. One of the best is Thornton Wilder. We remember he wrote the play OUR TOWN, in part, to show the unflagging strength of "the human spirit" while America was experiencing devastation from the Great Depression and apprehension of a looming war.
Perhaps we need another Wilder to mend us.
Americans these days are ragged: We're not engagingly intact with one another but torn from sustained attention because of the need to look down at a rectangular piece of handheld equipment. The scene tangles up sidewalks, street corners, and intersections. It severs conversations and strips away cohesiveness, leaving us fragmented.
What could possibly be so compelling to supplant humane interaction? We know the answer: Rather than be meaningfully attentive to any present moment in one's actual surroundings, there exists a compulsively bizarre drive to be pseudo-connected to everything! This activity is not polite; the sight, not charming; the result, tearing the community fabric to shreds.
Fortunately for us, Summerville (though in much need of more collaboration and persuasive communication for the cultural) does at least enjoy Third Thursdays when it offers up cuisine, shops, and arts.
And now the South Carolina Humanities Festival will take place in our town from April 18-21. (For every delightful detail, visit Websites for The Humanities Council SC or the Friends of Summerville Library.)
The days will provide an opportunity for the deeper connectedness that Summerville needs from what she already has: libraries, museum, artists, musicians, scholars, storytellers, writers, etc. Offering a plethora of cultural activities, the festival is happening because of Sponsorship by the Humanities Council (Executive Director Randy L. Akers); Hosting by the Friends of the Summerville Library (President Gail Masocco, Liaison David Rison, Planner Pamela Ward); Support of Summerville Mayor Bill Collins; and cooperation of many volunteers.
Thanks to missions of the Humanities Council and the Friends, both of which know to interweave cultural, educational, and intellectual activities, we shall have an enriching experience. And though not the daily routines in Wilder's Grover's Corners, Summerville's Humanities Festival is sure to renew the human spirit of "our town."

When we recently moved to Aiken, we were surprised that no one in Aiken had heard of pickleball (it has been around for 50 years, but not widespread – now recognized as the fastest growing sport in the country). We approached the Parks, Recreation and Tourism Department to use one of the public tennis courts to play on, and the department's Director Glenn Parker and Jeff Metz, Athletic/Tourism Director, were skeptical about our request. To their credit, and our everlasting gratitude, they kept open minds while we explained the sport – even the goofy name. Soon, Jessica Campbell at the H. Odell Weeks Center was working closely with us and provided a gym for three indoor courts. The City also converted some little-used space into 3 outdoor courts. The number of indoor courts has grown to five. Last weekend's USA Pickleball Association sanctioned tournament, hosted by the City of Aiken and attended by 109 players from 10 states, proves the sport continues to grow locally. Enthusiasts play several times a week and even medaled in the tournament. Nelson Spitnale and Dick Keeler won Bronze in the Men's Doubles 3.5 skill level, 65 plus age group. The tournament was a hit with visiting players who promised to return, should we host another event. The weekend was a success due to the hard work of Parks, Recreation and Tourism staff and volunteers from Aiken's own "Pickledillys. Thank you, everyone.
Richard Pearce, Aiken City Manager, graciously welcomed the 170 people who attended a pre-tournament social Friday night at the City Municipal Building. His comments reflected the extraordinary level of support and encouragement by our city and is proof Aiken continues to be a leader in innovation and change. We hope this sport continues to grow and that Aiken benefits from the influx of participants in future tournaments.

Devon reports on his first D-Day Battle in Australia
This was my first D-Day type of scenario event which was located at Pheonix Paintball in Gippsland, Victoria. The event kicked off with roughly 200 players. This is not a lot of players until you see the field its played on. I was shocked but so excited at how small the storming off the beach field was. The day was broken down into five different games on Saturday. Three of the games were the storming of the beach field and the other 2 took place in the woods. Each player was put into a group at the start of the day and you played 2 games attacking the beach and one game defending it. Either way you could hear players on both side of the field laughing and I know I was laughing while playing more than a couple times.
While the games were going on everyone there had something to do from playing to reffing or taking video or pictures. Then when the game was over the war stories from that game were out and being joked about. The atmosphere was great!
From the minute the game started there were people getting shot from the army of men on top of the hill. The field was filled with enough pyrotechnics for a good forth of July fireworks show, refs walking around with sub machine guns shooting blank rounds, .50 cal guns and .33 cal guns shooting off blanks as well. This was great cause it made you really feel like a war scene. I actually dropped to the ground when one of the refs shot one of the blanks behind me for the first time.
Once the games where moved into the woods things changed a bit. The woodsball fields were very thick and lots of room to hide without being spotted. It made for some interesting games and also allowed some people to move up and be sneaky without the other team knowing. This came at the risk of the elements. I thought that I had rubbed against an itchy plant but instead there were a couple leaches that decided to suck on my leg.
All in all it was a great event and a lot of fun. Fingers crossed that they are able to have D-Day again in 2012.

Bartending: Memoirs of an Apple Genius tells the story of the people behind the bar
Stephen Hackett of 512pixels.net fame used to work as an Apple Genius and he's chosen to share his exploits and adventures behind the glass, wood, and aluminum curtain in Bartending: Memoirs of an Apple Genius. He's also used his considerable prowess as a writer to do so in insightful, humorous form. Here's the teaser, and it's a good one:
Being one of the most successful companies in the world has made anything Apple-related newsworthy and special, including working in its retail stores. The truth is that selling computers at the Apple Store isn't that much different from selling them anywhere else, but it is better.
It's better because Apple is different than most other companies. Despite its monstrous success and growth the last few years, the company has not lost its focus on providing excellent experiences for its customers.
The Apple Store is the place where those experiences are made far better or far worse. Being on the front lines means gathering some great war stories. Stephen is here to share a few of his.
From the opening salvo of a young college student who ruined a MacBook in the most unfortunate way, to the trials and tribulations of being on the front end of the iPhone 3G and the MobileMe launch, Hackett pulls few punches. By the end of the book, the Apple Genius will be a little less mysterious, a little more human, and every bit as impressive.
Bartending: Memoirs of an Apple Genius is available now in Amazon Kindle and ePub (iBooks compatible) formats for just $4.99.
Get it now at GeniusMemoirs.com.

Bartending: Memoirs of an Apple Genius tells the story of the people behind the bar
Got it already! :P Its actually a very good book! so hilarious!
I dont read all that much but being an Apple fan I downloaded this and ended up reading the whole "book" before going to bed. Not really worth the $5 IMO. It's more of a rehash of old times at the bar. Not really much of a book but a quick/fun read for any Apple fan. Albeit, not that well written, but still quick/fun nonetheless.

Google has always released services that are useful to better understand major events: new imagery that shows the impact of Hurricane Katrina, special search engines for last year's earthquake in China, search trends for 9/11.
Google Translate included an early version of a translation system for Persian, in response to the recent events from Iran. "We feel that launching Persian is particularly important now, given ongoing events in Iran. Like YouTube and other services, Google Translate is one more tool that Persian speakers can use to communicate directly to the world, and vice versa — increasing everyone's access to information," says Franz Och, from Google.
The translation tool can also be used to read articles from Iranian sites, but the quality is less than adequate. For example, here's the translation of the latest 50 Twitter messages tagged #Iran and written in Persian (Farsi).

Stereo cameras are unique because they feature two lenses that expose two frames at the same time. This process simulates human binocular vision, and creates a 3D image (a stereo viewer would be needed to view the 3D effect). The Revere Stereo 33 camera features manual exposure settings and adjustable focus lenses. It also has the ability to accept a flash and filters. The Revere Stereo 33 is a sturdy camera made of aluminum, and would be a great addition to a vintage camera collection.

Burwood: 1 x 3 hour Seminar per week combining Music, Dance and Drama.
Waurn Ponds and Warrnambool: 3 hour and 4 hour intensives.
Learning experiences are also via CloudDeakin.
This unit aims to broaden and deepen the student's knowledge of the theoretical and practical aspects of the role that music, dance and drama play in children's development and learning.
Students will explore and reflect upon the creative use of singing, dancing, playing, creating and moving, and develop repertoire appropriate for use in the classroom.
Students will examine and analyse aspects of what becoming arts literate means and the role that these art forms have in the Indigenous Australian and multicultural Australia.
The unit involves experimenting and engaging with the body, sounds, spaces, objects and ideas, ways of playing with instruments and making sounds, ways of notating and composing, ways of moving and exploring the space, of improvisation and learning through the senses in a safe environment, exploring the elements and discovering why and how creative arts work in the world. They will experience and analyse the cognitive function of the arts in that they show us things in new ways, deepening and or changing our existing understandings. They will engage in the discipline of understanding how to take an idea from its inception, through the process of experimentation and refinement and into a final satisfying performance or an expressive form of communication. They will examine and analyse the way in which music, dance and drama also offer the means for helping children to understand and consolidate what they learn.
Other skills involved are: the ability to use classroom instruments, props, costumes and masks, listening and observation, learning to express one's ideas through creative art forms, and learning to read creative statements made by other people, and for a range of purposes, learning to talk about creative ideas and expressions.

Silas spends time with Sam at the docks, Alexis explains her mob ties to Derek, and Franco celebrates his birthday.
At the docks, Sam calls Jason's name. Silas steps out from an alley. Someone's watching as Sam admits hoping the sound she heard was Jason. Silas mentions how his brother died somewhere near where they are. She confides how Jason died there. She talks about someone who helped her realize Jason was gone. Silas encourages her to move on. Sam questions if he means for her to move on with him. He would never use her grief to make a move on her. She's apologizing when Silas receives a message that Danny's labs are back. They're followed as they leave.
Carly shows Franco to his room at the Metro Court and jokes maybe he can paint her something as payment. Franco hopes she can help figure out who is out to get him. He smells a rat and is certain Ava cut off his credit somehow. He repeats what he overheard in the lobby indicating Derek and Ava are keeping a secret. Carly agrees it's suspicious. Franco invites her to stay to celebrate his birthday. She's hesitant and reflects on Jason and how he hated birthdays. Franco will let her celebrate how she sees fit. Over cake he wishes Jason a happy birthday. Carly wishes Franco a happy birthday and he blows out the candles. He won't share his wish as it is something he wants very much. Someone sees Carly leave and knocks on Franco's door. He answers and says, "Oh my God."
At GH, Duke is bothered by Anna's insistence that he be checked out again. She blames herself for not catching Dr. Obrecht sooner while focusing on Ava Jerome. Duke still believes Ava's tied to the mob and hopes to identify her silent partner. He wants to investigate her contacts and find out who bankrolled her art gallery. Anna wonders if they're being paranoid but Duke remembers the gambling ring nosing around Sonny's business. Outside Danny's room, Derek thinks Jason sounds like the love of Sam's live. Alexis agrees he was. Derek inquires why Alexis didn't approve of Jason and she discloses he was a hit man for the mob. He's surprised when Alexis shares her personal connections to the mob as a lawyer and lover. Derek thinks he and Sonny have a lot in common. Alexis asks if Derek knocked up his lawyer too. Derek only admits to being a powerful man who plays similar games to win what he wants. He leaves when he receives a call that Vince was taken. Anna and Duke bump into Derek as he's leaving.
Sonny mistakes Ava for Connie when he finds her in his house. He demands to know who she is and how she got in. Ava apologizes for taking him by surprise. She's there to offer her condolences and mentions Max let her since she's family. She extends her hand and formally introduces herself as Ava Jerome when he shows disinterest. He shakes and admits he should have recognized her from her picture he has on file after having her checked out. Ava doesn't know if she should be insulted or complemented that he's worried she'll take over his territory. She teases him for thinking she'll take over his coffee business or that she's a member of the Jerome family. He asks, "Are you?" She reminds him he ran a check on her. Sonny knows she might have covered her tracks. Ava realizes having the name Jerome pushes a lot of buttons in Port Charles, including Duke Lavery's. Sonny talks about the bad history with the Jeromes. She reiterates that she's not associated with any crime family but admits to having Connie's blood on her hands. Sonny's eager to know why. Ava recounts having a drink with AJ at the Floating Rib. She remembers how he blamed Connie for losing ELQ. If she'd known how out of control he was she could have done something to stop it. Ava asks if Sonny can forgive her. There's nothing to forgive. He blames AJ not her and tells Ava how AJ hunted her down. Ava can't believe he didn't put a bullet in him. She offers to tell the police about her encounter with AJ but wants something in return.
Max visits Shawn at Kelly's. He's certain Sonny is fine and shares he's visiting with Morgan's mother-in-law. Shawn thinks Sonny's head is not in the game after confessing how he called him 'Jason' earlier. Max thinks it's just an old habit given Sonny's history with Jason. Shawn believes they need to take charge and find out more about the gambling ring players since Vince is snooping around Port Charles. Later, Shawn and Max bring Vince back to Kelly's. Shawn interrogates him for nosing around and then punches him for insulting Connie's memory.
Monday's Port Charles spoilers for General Hospital:
Anna questions Derek.
Sam can't believe the news she's received.
Franco interrupts Shawn and Max at Kelly's.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Barack Obama will discuss the legality of his administration's secret drone program and other counterterrorism practices during a speech on Thursday, a White House official said.
Obama's speech will be an attempt to fulfill his State of the Union pledge to be more "transparent" about the controversial drone program that has become the centerpiece of the White House's efforts to combat terrorism.

Find My iPhone gets updated, glitching out for some iOS 6 users
Find My iPhone has just been updated to version 2.0.3 and all Apple's saying is that it contains bug fixes and stability improvements.I haven't seen anything particularly of interest but I know I was experiencing crashes periodically while using it so we'll see if those issues are corrected over time.
We've had a few users reporting issues when attempting to sign into the updated version. One user said he was prompted to update to an iOS 7 beta before he could use the app. May be a one off issue and none of us were able to duplicate it. If any of you have any issues, make sure you let us know in the comments!

Find My iPhone gets updated, glitching out for some iOS 6 users
Same here.
Seems to be an iOS problem. I have no problem using the App with iOS 7 Beta 6.
The icon is quite obviously iOS 7, but the graphics on the inside are not, which is confusing me.
Apple's System Status page - http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ - reports an issue that is now resolved: "Users of version 2.0.3 of the Find My iPhone iOS app were temporarily unable to sign in."
Thats odd mine works just fine iPhone 5 running on iOS 6
I am not able to download the same on my Iphone 4 with 6.1.3 it says it need iOS 7

Blended Scotch whisky needs little introduction. It is the best selling of all whisky, and fills back bars and liquor cabinets the world over, whether it's Ballantine's, Johnnie Walker or Haig. Blended Scotch whisky, like all Scotch whisky, must be matured for at least three years and a day in oak casks. Blended Scotch whisky is made from grain whisky, which is cheap and efficient to produce, though it has a more neutral character, so they include malt whisky as well, this peps everything up and brings body and complexity.

Secretary Vilsack Announces Sorghum Board Appointments
Release No.: 179.13
Sam Jones-Ellard (202) 660-2268
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27, 2013 Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has appointed four members to serve on the United Sorghum Checkoff Program Board. Members will serve 3-year terms.
Producers appointed to the board are: Clayton J. Short, Assaria, Kan.; Martin G. Kerschen, Garden Plain, Kan.; Daniel L. Krienke, Perryton, Texas; and one at-large member, Kathy J. Brorman, Hereford, Texas.
The board is structured so that the state with the largest production is allocated five positions. The state with the second largest production is allocated three positions. The state with the third largest production is allocated one position. There are four at-large national positions for which at least two representatives must be appointed from states other than the top three sorghum producing states. The maximum number of producers from one state is limited to six.
The 13-member board is authorized by the Commodity Promotion, Research, and Information Act of 1996. The Secretary selected the appointees from sorghum producers nominated by certified sorghum producer organizations.
Research and promotion programs are industry-funded, authorized by Congress, and date back to 1966. Since then, Congress has authorized the establishment of 21 research and promotion boards. They empower farmers and ranchers to leverage their own resources to develop new markets, strengthen existing markets and conduct important research and promotion activities. The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) provides oversight, paid for by industry assessments, which ensures fiscal responsibility, program efficiency and fair treatment of participating stakeholders. For information on the United Sorghum Checkoff Program Board, please contact Kenneth R. Payne by phone at (202) 720-5705, or e-mail:

text: Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! is NPR's weekly hour-long quiz program. Each week on the radio you can test your knowledge against some of the best and brightest in the news and entertainment world while figuring out what's real news and what's made up. On the Web, you can play along too. It takes more than a couple brain cells to make this show what it is... so let's give credit where credit's due. Peter Sagal — Host Prior to becoming host of Wait Wait in 1998, Peter had a varied career including stints as a playwright, screenwriter, stage director, actor, extra in a Michael Jackson video, travel writer, essayist, ghostwriter and staff writer for a motorcycle magazine. In October 2007, Harper Collins published Peter's first book, The Book of Vice: Naughty Things and How to Do Them, a series of essays about bad behavior, which was released in paperback in 2008. He lives in the Chicago area with his family. Since he now has his own Web site, he is finally a real boy. Carl Kasell — Official Judge and Scorekeeper Carl Kasell is the official judge and scorekeeper for Wait Wait and is an all-around genius and great guy. A veteran broadcaster, Carl launched his radio career more than 50 years ago. He was a newscaster for NPR's daily newsmagazine Morning Edition from the show's beginning in 1979 until December 2009. Carl now enjoys sleeping past 1:05 am, and he sometimes moonlights as a magician.

Social IssuesThe ELCA is a church energized by lively engagement in faith and life, a church that rolls up our sleeves and gets to work. We encourage this kind of engagement with social concerns by providing written resources, fostering learning and encouraging action.
The following is a list of social issues that will take you to resources and links related to that issue, such as relevant ELCA social documents, resources for study and education, or ways to take action in your congregation, community and the world.
Hunger and poverty
"Through human decisions and actions, God is at work in economic life."
The environment
"We pray, therefore, for the creativity and dedication to live more gently with the earth."
Health and wellness
"Health care and healing are concrete manifestations of God's ongoing care for and redemption of all creation."
Race, ethnicity and culture
"Cultural differences still matter, but they can be seen for what God intends — blessings rather than means of enslavement."
"Our witness is a response to God's faithful love received in Word and Sacraments. The bread and the wine, the body and blood of Christ, are a sacrament of love. As love and support are given you, you in turn must render love and support to Christ in his needy ones. You must feel with sorrow all the dishonor done to Christ in his holy Word, all the misery of Christendom, all the unjust suffering of the innocent, with which the world is everywhere filled to overflowing. You must fight, work, pray, and — if you cannot do more — have heartfelt sympathy."
From the ELCA social statement, "Church in Society: A Lutheran Perspective"

Lots and lots of stuff in this week's GO! Magazine in The Bulletin.
So let's get right to it, shall we?
We shall!
The inimitable Fred Eaglesmith will bring his Traveling Steam Show to Sisters' HarmonyHouse Saturday night. My colleague David Jasper spoke with him about his famously sharp sense of humor.
"When I was younger, in the '70s and '80s, I wrote these really horrific songs about farm loss, which was happening all around me, you know, about my neighbors losing the farm," he said.
"The songs were so sad, people loved them but they wouldn't come back. It was too hard. I was young and didn't really know what I was doing. Then I started telling these jokes about people on the farm. They weren't that great of jokes, but I was always a pretty funny guy.
"And as I've gotten older, I've really learned my comedy well," Eaglesmith said. "I've learned to just be a comedian. I could be a stand-up comedian if I wanted to."
Fred's so great. Read the whole thing here.
(Yeah, I've posted that before, but it's worth watching again!)
On Saturday night, local experimental cello-looper Billy Mickelson — aka Third Seven — will celebrate the release of his new album "Cascadia" with a show at The Horned Hand. I called him up and talked to him about the theme of the record.
"It's an album about what home is to me … and following your heart to share home with the world," he said from his parents' place in Lincoln City. "Oregon is my home, and as anybody who lives here knows, that feeling you get from the mountains and the trees here, you can't replace that with city life or anywhere else that you'd want to move.
"It's really special to me," he continued, "and I wanted to capture that in this album in a sentimental way."
Mickelson's an interesting and introspective guy. Click here to read more of the story.
I also used a page to highlight the busy and diverse schedule at The Horned Hand, where Jeff Crosby & The Refugees play tonight, The Horde & The Harem and Tom VandenAvond join Third Seven on Saturday, Swansea and Patrick Dethlefs perform Tuesday and The Generators play Wednesday. Whew!
Elsewhere in this week's music section: Sean Hayes returns to Mandala Yoga, the Henhouse Prowlers bring traditional bluegrass to Silver Moon, the Hank Shreve Band gets bluesy at Liquid Lounge, Jerry Joseph and Walter Salas-Humara go acoustic at Astro Lounge, Night Under the Covers heads to the Northwest, Jones Road and Five Pint Mary play a benefit show for BAKESTARR, and more!

Ronald Trayron Willis pled guilty to two counts of burglary March 21 and received a sentence of seven years in prison. Superior Court Judge Hugh Wingfield pronounced the sentence, which was part of a plea negotiation with the state.
The defendant was actually listed on the court calendar for a similar transactions hearing, which typically precedes a trial. When his name was called to come before the judge, however, it was to enter a plea.
Willis received seven years on each of the burglary counts, but the sentences were allowed to run concurrently for a total of seven years. Wingfield said the maximum sentence for the offenses is 40 years to serve.
Two witnesses in the burglary case were in the courtroom, and Assistant District Attorney Gregory Bushway expressed his gratitude for their attendance following the acceptance of Willis' plea.
"Tell them their being here prompted that," Bushway instructed victims' advocate Kristen Dupree.

After more than 6 months of testing, Google's new interface is finally available to everyone. The new UI is gradually rolled out today and the changes are noticeable.
Google's logo has vibrant colors, the search box is bigger and it now includes the search button, the links from the homepage are no longer underlined.
Google's search results pages include a persistent sidebar that suggests specialized search engines, advanced filters and related searches. By default, Google only shows suggestions that are relevant to your query, but you can click on "more" to see other ways to refine the results.
"Today's metamorphosis responds to the increasing richness of the web and the increasing power of search — revealing search tools on the left and updating the visual look and feel throughout. The top section of the new left-hand panel builds on Universal Search by suggesting the most relevant genres of results for your query and letting you seamlessly switch to these different types of results. Our expandable Search Options panel launched last spring brought many rich slice-and-dice tools to search. The new left-hand navigation showcases these tools and enables you to get a different view of your results. In addition to the left-hand side changes, we've updated our look and feel in terms of our color palette and our logo. These changes are slight, keeping our page minimalist and whimsical, but make our overall look more modern," explains Marissa Mayer.
Some of the features aren't completely new: when Google launched Universal Search in 2007, an important new feature was that Google suggested relevant specialized search engines. The suggestion bar has been removed after a couple of months and now it's back as a vertical panel.
Ask.com pioneered the persistent left sidebar in 2007, and now both Bing and Yahoo Search use it. Google adopted a similar layout to make search interfaces more consistent. "I don't like jazz, because you never know what's going to happen next," said Google's Marissa Mayer. "I've been calling this problem 'user interface jazz.' This result looks this way, and that result looks that way [something much different], and it really does slow you down."
When you navigate from web search to Google Books search, from image search to Google News, the interface will be consistent and you may not even realize that you're using a different search engine.
Sometimes, Google's sidebar will also include a list of suggestions that are difficult to define. Google calls them "something different" and used to show this label: "not entirely unlike". They're actually similar queries generated using Google Squared:

Global Mission"As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith." Colossians 2:6–7a.
Rooted and built in Jesus! This is the core of our work as the ELCA walks with more than 80 companion churches in other countries to participate in God's reconciling mission through proclamation and service. Participating in these relationships, ELCA members see how people's lives are touched by the gospel, how their lives are transformed and renewed, and how their communities live in hope. Our living, daring confidence in God's grace propels us, along with our companions, to say "yes" to a world searching for renewal and wholeness. As part of a global Lutheran community, we gratefully receive the witness of global brothers and sisters whose faith, hospitality, resilience and zeal energize us and our own congregations. In response, we share our gifts and talents to address the root causes of poverty and hunger and meeting human needs, fight malaria and HIV and AIDS, build communities that coexist in peace, and prepare women and men to preach the good news of Jesus Christ throughout the world.
Walking and working together, we seek to accompany our companions. Accompaniment is defined as walking together in a solidarity that practices interdependence and mutuality. The ELCA lives out accompaniment in relationships with global companions, striving to share God's love and participate in God's mission together:
- Mutually: All of us have gifts to support God's mission. There is no mission to, only mission with and among.
- Inclusively: We seek to build relationships across boundaries that exclude and divide.
- Vulnerably: Just as Jesus became vulnerable to us, we open ourselves to others.
- Empowering: We seek to identify and correct imbalances of power, which may mean recognizing and letting go of our own.
- Sustainably: To ensure local ministries last for a long time, we seek to embed mission in ongoing relationships and communities.
- stewards the international web of ELCA relationships
- listens to companion church bodies and responds to their priorities in mission with program grants and personnel
- receives the gifts of Christian witness from the global church in order to build our own capacity for witness
- funds long-term, sustainable development projects and responds to international disasters
- calls and prepares mission personnel for service in response to requests from companions
- provides scholarships for international post-graduate study to global church leaders
- provides tools to equip ELCA members for faithful global engagement.

Mona Louise Nolen pled guilty Nov. 20 to "child abuse/neglect—false report with intent (to deceive)," and was sentenced to five years "deferred adjudiation" probation by 115th District Judge Lauren Parish, Byrd said.
Deferred adjudication means no permanent conviction appears on Ms. Nolen's record if she successfully completes probation, but the 45-year-old Pittsburg resident could be sentenced to the maximum term for her offense if such probation is revoked, the prosecutor said.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Office of Inspector General State Investigations Unit in Austin probed the case, said Byrd.
The Oct. 6, 2011 crime stemmed from "a personal issue that she (Nolen) had with the person she accused. That personal animosity and anger led to her filing false reports to the CPS hotline" in a phone call, the District Attorney said.
Authorities determined Ms. Nolen was the person who made the call, and "she was fired from CPS (forced to resign). They did their own internal investigation. . . and then we picked up the case for criminal prosecution," Byrd said.
Nobody lost custody of their children as a result of the false charges, he added.
Some terms of Ms. Nolan's probation include a $1,500 fine, 400 hours of community service, taking "anger management," and an alcohol/drug evaluation, Byrd's office said.
Assistant District Attorney Natalie Miller represented the state in the sentencing. Gilmer attorney Joe Newsom represented Ms. Nolen.
Ms. Nolen was among eight persons Judge Parish sentenced on felony charges between Nov. 20 and 26, Byrd's office said last Wednesday.
Details of the Nov. 20 sentencings were as follows, the office reported:
Terry Lynn Hutto, 51, of Gladewater, drew six months in state jail after he pled guilty to unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Ore City police investigated the March 22 offense. Ms. Miller represented the state at sentencing, while Gilmer attorney Matthew Patton represented Hutto.
Richard Christensen Wright, 46, of Quitman, received 16 months in state jail upon pleading guilty to theft of property of the value of $1,500 or more but less than $20,000.
Byrd's office investigated the June 9, 2010 crime. He represented the state in the case; Patton represented Wright.
Michael Odom, 21, of Longview, received 20 months in state jail when his probation for endangering a child was revoked. Odom admitted violating terms of probation for the April 6, 2009 offense, which the Upshur County Sheriff's Office investigated.
Ms. Miller represented the state. Gilmer attorney Dwight Brannon represented Odom.
Richard Wayne Jones, 47, of Sulphur Springs, drew six years in prison for driving while intoxicated—subsequent offense when his probation on that charge was revoked.
Jones admitted violating terms of probation for his Aug. 7, 2010 crime, which the Texas Department of Public Safety probed.
Byrd represented the state at sentencing. Gilmer attorney Tim Cone represented Jones.
Jason Jones, 33, of Gilmer, received 15 months in state jail for delivery of a controlled substance—cocaine after his probation on that charge was revoked.
Jones admitted violating terms of probation for the May 8, 2009 offense, a case which the Upshur County Drug Task Force worked. Ms. Miller and Brannon handled the sentencing.
Timothy Whitman Duvall, Jr., 29, of Gilmer, was placed on five years deferred adjudication probation upon pleading guilty to burglary of a habitation. The Sheriff's Office investigated the Feb. 15 offense.
Some of Duvall's numerous terms of probation include a $500 fine, $250 restitution to the victim, 300 hours of community service, and no contact with the victim.
Byrd and Patton handled the sentencing.
Kenny Andrew Wright, 43, of Gilmer, was placed on seven years regular probation of a 10-year prison term Nov. 26 upon pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated— subsequent offense, Byrd said.
The Sheriff's Office probed the May 13, 2010 offense. Some terms of Wright's probation include a $1,000 fine, 400 hours of community service, and attending a school for DWI repeat offenders.
Ms. Miller represented the state in the case. Longview attorney Clement Dunn represented Wright.
