LONDON (AP) -- Tests have found horsemeat in school meals, hospital food and restaurant dishes in Britain, spreading the scandal over adulterated meat beyond frozen supermarket products.
Results were coming Friday after food safety officials ordered supermarkets and suppliers to test all processed meals labeled as beef for traces of horsemeat.
Whitbread PLC, Britain's largest hotel and restaurant company, said horsemeat had been found in lasagna and burgers served at its Premier Inn hotels and Brewers Fayre restaurant chain.
Officials also said horsemeat was present in cottage pies delivered to 47 schools in Lancashire county, northern England.
Horse also has turned up in hospital meals in Northern Ireland. David Bingham, of the health service's Business Services Organization, said the meals, from a supplier in the Republic of Ireland, had been withdrawn.

|Key Info

Finca Son Riera offers a livings space of 400m2 and is situated on a 170.000m2 large plot. The plot covers half a mountain. The house is surrounded by a beautiful garden with many trees, for natural shade, and flowers. In the garden there is a 12 x 5 meter big pool with 12 sun lounges and several umbrellas.

Majorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands and it does have a reputation for mass tourism and high-octane night-life. However, while it is true that Majorca is one of Europe's most popular holiday destinations, it really does offer so much more as much of the island consists of a variety of beautiful and unspoilt countryside. Staying in our beautiful villa is the perfect way to enjoy a holiday on this delightful island. Where the mountains meet the sea you will find lovely unspoilt coves, and in the mountains themselves lie many charming towns and monasteries. Across the centre and to the south east of the island lie plains dotted with windmills, whilst olive and almond groves flourish in the rich soil. Whether you choose to enjoy the island's many tourist attractions, or to simply drink in the wonderful scenery and rich culture.
The house is situated far away from the mass tourism in a lovely quiet space in the Tramunatana mountain range near the small village Caimari. From the house and all its rooms you have a fantastic view of the landscape of Caimari and Moscari. The house is the ideal starting point for car excursions or long walks discovering the surroundings of Selva and the mountains. In Inca, the nearby town, you can find excellent shopping possibilities and every Thursday a large weekly market takes place in the town centre. By car you can reach the long sand beaches near Alcudia and Pollenca within approx. 20 minutes. Pollensa also offers one of the most beautiful golf courses of the island. Various excellent golf courses are situated in the South of the island, near Santa Ponsa and in Bendinat and Son Vida. For a visit to Palma we recommend you to leave your car in Inca and to take the train to the city. This way you don't have to worry about parking rules and fees.

Carew: Superb Benteke is the "new Villa Park hero"
John Carew has paid tribute to Christian Benteke, hailing him "the new Villa Park hero."
Carew himself was a much loved figure in B6 as his powerful performances helped the claret and blue troops to a host of victories between 2006 and 2010.
Carew was a cult figure with the masses and the fans chanted his name every game, proclaiming: "John Carew, Carew, he's bigger than me and you, he's gonna score one or two, John Carew, Carew."
Now he accepts there's a new star of the side.
Supporters have christened a new song for Benteke to the tune of Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes.
It's a message Carew joined in with on Twitter as he gave the powerful forward his seal of approval.
Carew regularly tweets about claret and blue matters and clearly follows the exploits of Lambert's Lions.
He's certainly been impressed with the impact of 6ft 3in Benteke.
He tweeted: "Benteke is the new hero that Villa Park needed.
"After wins over Norwich and Liverpool, my Villans are flying!!
"Benteke is on fire. Lil Weimann is not Lil anymore. The way Villa are playing warms my heart."
Make sure you back the boys against Tottenham.

In January each year, the News-Journal's editorial staff sends out more than a dozen identical letters, each to a different governing body.
Sounds exciting, doesn't it?
Well, it might not be exciting, but it's a very important part of our job.
The letters are requests for notification of meetings, agendas and copies of information that our public officials discuss or review at their meetings.
In the past, some public officials have questioned whether they must provide information to the media.
My mother recently told me that she heard on the news that they were looking for a recession in the next so many months.
I don't know about the rest of you, but personally I already found it a long time ago - what with scraping from paycheck to paycheck and outrageous bills being more than I make.
The power companies and oil companies are clawing for what I don't have left over. It looks like most of us already had the heads up on this way before the news because we're living it.
In response to the Jan. 7 front page article concerning the funding of the new Campbellsville industrial park, the question weighing on my mind, and I'm sure many other concerned citizens of Campbellsville, is what are the incentives for bringing industries into the existing unused spec buildings in Campbellsville and surrounding counties?
Why put our focus on building more spec buildings when we can't even fill our existing ones?
I agree with you that everything changes (Richard RoBards' column 1-14-08). It is the worst pill to swallow. Even in good times we have to face the fact that even if they last for 50 years, they end way too soon.
I am worried about the Greek philosopher's quote that you used. Heraclitus was also the proud owner of the suggestion that he and his fellow citizens should hang themselves for banishing their leader.
I hope that you and the Central Kentucky News-Journal can weather the storm of change without the hangman's rope.
John Stone
"I'm warning you," Mom says. "This is the last time!"
That idle threat is probably heard on a regular basis in every household from here to Timbuktu. But Taylor County magistrates heard something similar recently, and we certainly hope they'll really start to listen soon.
Last November, magistrates voted to adopt a resolution recommended by the Court's Transportation Committee that the County no longer accept gravel roads into its road system - with the exception of three roads already in the process of being accepted.
You've heard it before, but as we enter the New Year it's good to remember. Here it is: Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. Now, of course, I have to ask the question, "Where does most of your discussion fall?"
My guess is, if you were determined to talk more about ideas, than events, and least and last of all, people, you would probably talk less ... period! Talking about ideas requires thinking, and let's admit it, that isn't easy.
I'll admit that when I learned 11 days ago that the company I'm working for is going to shop itself around to potential new owners, you could have blown me over with a feather.
Thirty-five years (3 1/2 less than I've been with my wife) will solidify a feel-good relationship. Times do change.
I've been asked what's going to happen by fellow employees and the public alike. I wish I had THE answer they're looking for, because uncertainty breeds wild thoughts - most of them a waste of productive concentration.
I really enjoyed Rebecca Cassell's piece titled "Why Not Dream Big."
Leaders are definitely something that this country is in need of.
I don't know if the people who live through the times that are guided by great leaders know what they have. If I was alive during the time of Martin Luther King Jr., I think I could have recognized what a great man he was.
I think we only judge leaders by their accomplishments after they are gone, or at least retired from their leadership position.

UK Immigration Law
Ask an UK Immigration Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi Thomas, my boy friend is a Russian national, and I am British/Russian. He is here on a tourist visa at the moment as he frequently travels to the UK and we thought we could get married in a registry office without getting fiancee visa first. We looked at UKBA website and I became of impression that we could not get married unless he had a fiancee visa or we applied from Russia. But then, if further stated that if partner is already in the UK, (regardless of visa I thought) it was possible to go to designated registry office to give notice to marry. I spoke with many such offices today and none of them requested him to have fiancee visa, only asked what ppt he and i hold. We made an appointment, but have doubts that this marriage will be processed by the UKBA, or refused on the grounds that the rules were bypassed.

France Double-Dips As European Recession Is Now Longest On Record
Confirming that in a world in which either commercial or central banks have to be constantly be churning out debt, and in a world in which Europe is doing neither (with European commercial loan growth posting sequential declines across the board, and the ECB's balance sheet still declining although likely not for long), "growth" as defined by conventional standards, is impossible, we got today's European Q1 GDP data. Not only was it bad, but it was even worse than most had expected.
And while Germany may have escaped a technical recession after its economy grew by the absolute minimum possible 0.1 percent in the first quarter (does it too also include intangibles in its GDP calculation one wonders) following a drop in Q4, it was France that officially double dipped into its second recession in four years with a 0.2 percent contraction and one year into Hollande's term. As the Bloomberg Brief chart below shows, Germany and France account for 49 percent of euro-area output. Overall, the euro-area economy contracted by 0.2 percent in the first quarter. The region's economy has been shrinking since October 2011, the longest recession since the start of monetary union.
Meanwhile, France welcomes the double dip:
- advertisements -
New record.....hot dog.
How is our Great Recession coming along ?
Ah, that's right we are in an economic boom now.
Forgot the effects of easy money for a moment there.
Reezon to celebrate ?
couldn't be more bullish for the markets. I'm looking for average EU unemployment rate at least heading up to 15%. Draghi needs confirmation to go full steam ahead. Japan is the benchmark.
I look throughly forward to Draghi telling Jens to fuckhimself, and going full retard printing trillions overnight .. and distributing it across the Eurozone in proportion to GDP. Get off that last building bubble and spending blitz before the collapse.
Germany wins again! This time without firing a shot. It's not about ownership, it's about control. Stupid Europians.
lol Europians
If you believe that a state is somehow sovereign when it is still dotted with military bases of a foreign power some 70 years after its complete conquest and execution of its entire elected leaadership, you have no business using the word 'stupid' to describe others.
You ignore that the bases are there to protect Germany, not to subjugate it. America is Germany's unpaid lackey. We pay the bill, we risk our children's lives, and the world decries our "imperialism". I say let Europe devolve into the East German model it deserves to be.
You ignore that the bases are there to protect Germany
Is that sarcasm or are you really delusional?
But don't take it from me:
German Minister of Finance Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble speaks openly about Germany's (lack of) Sovereignty at the European Banking Congress, 18 November 2011
Everywhere is control.
The System is control.
How else can you harvest the sheeple, their hopes, fears and dreams?
We are the crop, the masses, consumers...to be managed like,factory farm poultry, only its a free range farm.
( Like in the end ofJim Thompson's novel, The Getaway.)
Remind me of this one
God, what I would do if I could break into the European parliment, and replace European Anthem.mp3 with this and lock the office. That way just once ... when those incompetatnt buffoons play their stupid anthem every week ... this plays instead.
I wonder ... what would the Polish do?
It's a set up, see? Yeah, they're settin' us up for a big fall. Then they swoop in (whoever 'they' are) and take over, see? We don't stand a chance, I tell ya'. We don't stand a chance!
They wouldn't do that to us...........would they?
Francois, dont worry and keep spending! We got your back! Forward, comrades!
Yours truly,
Shinzo and Haruhiko
You persist in excluding the UNITED KINGDOM from EUROPE so could you include it in ASIA or AFRICA rather than ignore it as you do. Apparently in New York people have difficulty seeing the UK thinking it is in EPCOT or a theme park, but it is a busted island just 22 miles from France with its utilities owned by French and German companies as with its mobile telephone companies, its aggregates businesses and its car manufacturing plants.
Is it possible that people at ZH could start imagining that Canada makes more cars than Detroit and is part of the same production line in much the same way that British factories are part of French, German, italian production lines and the economies are not separate
That's ok. BP owns half of Naperville!
Its a 'Euro Area' story about numbers released by the 'euro area' last time I checked UK wasnt using the Euro?
Bullish! More printing will easily solve this dilemma. Please, anyone knows that by now.
I saw Krugman's book End This Depression Now! in the public library yesterday. I threw up in my mouth. Ugggh.
The 'american' girl who petitioned her governor, lamenting the lack of growth, has now lost any pretext not to leave her 'american' country.
Lets see how she can contribute to the 'american' effort of infinite growth in countries like Canada, Australia or even Africa (sic)
'Americanism' at work. Good days in an 'american' world.
A Chinese citizenism petitioned his groveller and was shot. The end.
That is one strange universe really, one that dismisses superposition of effects, or multiple causes leading to the same effects.
Propagandists have to step in and dress reality. Because the situation is plain to see for all and it diverges strongly from what propangadists have sold.
'AnAnonymist' Chinese citizenism nature is eternal.
Pity the formerly free Tibetan people, who continue to suffer persecution and genocide at the hands of their ethnocentric Han Chinese overlords, despite all hypocritical communistic trappings of "solidarity" and "liberation".
Alas, alas, hundreds of thousands slaughtered alas, just have to bite the bullet --- literally.
The construction of Chinese Citizenism Communautist society will be as xenophobic, nationalistic, self glorifying as it can be in that part of the world, and that is much.
Funny as funny because the general message somehow mirrors what you can read on this site.
Telling that Americans committed every crime in human history and prehistory, in order for 'AnAnonymists' to get away with their actual crimes. Does any shred of reality remain in Chinese citizenism citizens' minds, or has fantasical insanitation blobbed up to full capacity?
Confucius say Chinese Citizen walking through airport sideways going to Bangkok, just like dirty old German men.
I haven't seen a "Free Tibet" sticker on a Volvo in years. Although, lefties drive BMWs now that they got the parents estates. For a while there was a mini "Save Darfur" bumper sticker blip, but that left fashion has faded.
OTB, reporting from Massachusetts.
Must be good for new all time highs on all indices after that news!
while WS rumbles the real economy tumbles, you are in the jungle and you can hear the echos of Ben Bernanke's mumbles.
Hollande's bumbles and Cameron's jangles with austerity while fiat inflation hits posterity's bare posterior.
Tangles and mangles for the sheeple and bonus chimes for the heeple deeple oligarchy people.
What is a double dip between ENA friends when they can manipulate the next one to be slightly in the green, not deep triple red and dead beat.
Like the UK, 2 quarters from now France will reverse and indicate that it actually did not double dip...nothing to see here.
I don't see or have the data on the relative growth in the CB money supply/QE, but I get the sense that the EU isn't printing as much as the Fed or the BoJ.
If that is correct, then they are not masking their fundamental problems as much as are we: Denial of free market correction due to endless debt creation.
/ Aaah, Debt Creation, the engine of our CB-led western economies. /s

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado - Third District Congressman Scott Tipton will be in town Monday morning to discuss regional policy issues with the Garfield County commissioners.
The meeting is scheduled from 7:30-8:30 a.m., according to a press statement from Rep. Tipton's office.
The meeting will take place at the Garfield County Administration Building, 108 Eighth St., Suite 213, prior to the regular Board of County Commissioners meeting.
Energy policy issues are likely to top the agenda for the discussion. On Friday, Tipton, R-Cortez, re-introduced his "all-of-the-above" domestic energy legislation in Congress.
Under the title "Planning for American Energy Act," H.R. 1394 "would unleash the potential for thousands of new jobs as well as establish a reliable, affordable and secure source of American energy through responsible production," according to a separate statement from Tipton's office released on Friday.
"The Planning for American Energy Act would provide our country with full control over our domestic energy future by putting into place a responsible plan that develops all of our energy resources to meet the needs of the American people," Tipton said in the prepared statement.
The legislation establishes the nonpartisan Energy Information Administration, which would be charged with projecting domestic energy needs for the next 30 years, to be used as the basis for four-year production plans.
The bill allows for energy development on public lands, including wind, solar and other renewable energy sources, in addition to oil and gas and clean coal development. Such development would be in accordance with the multiple-use management standard established by the Federal Land Policy Management Act, according to Tipton.

The Daily Show Takes On the Pink-Slime Scare
Check out the video!
Now that three out of the country's four pink-slime-producing plants are closing up, our long national nightmare might finally be coming to an end. Fortunately, there was still time last night for Jon Stewart to tackle the issue on The Daily Show. (And only a day after the show took on the Israeli food controversy at the Park Slope Food Co-op — guess some of the show's correspondents are pretty into food.) Check out the clip, straight ahead.

The season-long home run binge for Dedham's Sam Girard continued on Monday as the junior catcher went deep three times to lead the softball team to a mercy rule-shortened 16-3 win over Needham. Dedham improves to 9-3 overall and 7-3 in the Bay State Conference, two games behind Herget Division leader Norwood.
The Mustangs pay a visit to Dedham on Monday, but the Marauders must first head to Wellesley today and host Weymouth Friday.
Girard knocked in seven runs with a pair of three-run homers and a solo shot, giving her 12 long balls for the year. Colleen Downing had three RBI and was one of four Marauders to collect two hits, along with Brianna Dozier, Christina Maloof and Mary Kate Kirby.
Amanda Carilli went all five innings for the win, allowing four hits and striking out two.
Dedham ended Friday's contest with Brookline in five innings as well, posting a 14-0 win that featured another Girard home run.
Unbeaten Newton North gave the Marauders a taste of their own medicine on Wednesday as they hit five home runs at the cozy confines of the Sugure Field turf in a 13-4 victory.
Dedham took an early 1-0 lead on a Girard sacrifice fly in the first, but North struck for seven runs in the second inning to take control and pulled away behind two-homer games from recent Holy Cross commit Liv Sloane and Gabby Vachon, who went the distance for the win in the circle.
Jenn Wadman had a two-run double and Meaghan Paton homered for the Marauders in the losing effort.

I am getting weary of the sad reality of writing this blog as more and more of the legends of samba are passing on. Today "Aunt" Doca, the legendary matriarch of Madureira, pastora of the Velha Guarda da Portela, hostess of one of the best and longest running pagodes in town, passed away at 76. The great samba school Portela will cry for a long time to come.
I am almost speechless in writing this post...
When I arrived in Rio in August 2007 to spend a year doing my research, one of the first places I wanted to experience was the pagode in the backyard of Tia Doca's place in Madureira. However, it was not until November of 2007 that I finally did. I called a number to get information about the feijoada event that they were having with special guest Dudu Nobre. A very sweet lady answered the phone, giving me easy directions on how to make it all the way out to Madureira. She continued to talk casually about the place and how this particular pagode has been happening since 1975. After a few moments on the phone I realized that I was talking to Tia Doca herself! I arrived later that afternoon and immediately went to see her. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, as was her son Nem. I instantly felt like I was at home.
Needless to say the feijoada, prepared by her daughter and some assistants, was one of the best meals I had during my time in Rio. The pagode was also one of the best. I have written extensively about the Pagode da Tia Doca in posts past. Please click on the various links here, or use the navigation on the right to see videos and music.
I will leave you with a poignantly appropriate song, written by Arlindo Cruz, Sombrinha and Luiz Carlos da Vila (also recently passed in October 2008). The song "The Show Must Go On" was recorded live at the pagode in Tia Doca's own backyard.
"O show tem que continuar"
from the live album Pagode da Tia Doca 2000.
Salve o pagode da Tia Doca, salve a Velha Guarda da Portela, e salve Madureira...

Anyone know of riding groups on the westside (Hillsboro)?
Anyone know of riding groups on the westside (Hillsboro)?
Does Portland Velo still do weekly rides out of Hillsboro? I've noticed a few more lately from that area put on by Portland Wheelmen (pwtc.com).

Portland Velo has their Saturday Signature Rides starting out of Hillsboro each week.
Sweet - I think I will have to check that out soon, only about 6 miles from my house.
There are also two social groups that start rides out that way from time to time.

The City of Cambridge
To call Cambridge a city can be a bit misleading: with a total of 110,000 people, 22,000 of whom are students, it's a little on the small side for a city. Cambridge tends to provoke images of King's College chapel, students on bikes and people lazing about in punts on a summer's day. It's easy to see why it is seen like this, but there's much more to Cambridge as a place to live, and it's surprisingly easy to get beyond (as you'll hear the swarms of American tourists say) its "quaintness".
There's loads to Cambridge as a place to live and it's easy to get over its 'quaintness'.
The centre of Cambridge is dominated by the University, and the Colleges and departments are sprawled across it. Geographically, the centre of Cambridge is also fairly small and flat. The easiest way to get around is by bike and you can get from even the most distant College to the city centre and departments within twenty minutes. This makes Cambridge a great place to be a student: everything you could need is packed into a small space, and you'll never have to go far to get anywhere. At least during term-time, the town is the University, if you want it to be.
Cambridge has most of the benefits of being a city, whilst being more laid back in pace and surrounded by countryside. There's a good collection of high street chains both in town and in the Grafton shopping centre, as well as individual shops and a market that runs every day. Cambridge is well catered for in terms of places to eat, too. There are restaurants and cafés abound, many at decent prices with student discounts and happy hours, which are useful when parents come to visit. On top of this, there are plenty of supermarkets and food shops, from Sainsbury's in the centre of town, Tesco and Asda a five minute cycle from the centre, to international shops, where you can buy Asian and African food. Whatever you are looking for, it's likely you'll be able to find it.
There are loads of places to hang out in Cambridge, from traditional pubs to new bars and several night clubs with a variety of music (though if you are a serious clubber, you are likely to be disappointed). In addition, each College has its own bar, a good way to catch up with people and unwind on an evening. Several bars and clubs have live music ranging from jazz to alternative, and there are three cinemas showing mainstream and independent arts films. There is also an Arts Theatre and an amateur dramatic theatre for student productions.
If you miss the big city life, transport routes in and out of Cambridge are pretty good. You can get to London in 45 minutes by train, and Cambridge is well networked by rail. Driving within the city is a nightmare, with little parking and perhaps the most complicated one way system ever, but there are good Park and Ride buses coming in from all directions. The large majority of students don't have cars, parking is extremely limited and you require a University permit to keep a car as a student.

What if Jonathan Demme threw a party and asked you to come? You'd probably initially be flattered by the invitation; after all, the Oscar-winning director and longtime music scenester has certainly racked up an impressive roster of friends over the years. But while it sure would be swell to hang out with a random cross-section of multiculti hepcats for a couple of hours, eventually you'd probably feel that you don't quite belong. This is the feeling I got not long into Demme's new self-consciously "back-to-basics" independent film, "Rachel Getting Married," in which he shoots a script written by Sidney Lumet's daughter as an excuse to throw a backyard soiree celebrating his handpicked community of actors, musicians, and artist friends.
There's gobs of tragic backstory and family grudges in Jenny Lumet's script, but it all gets lost in Demme's mammoth mixer. The wild wedding at the center of "Rachel Getting Married" is a simultaneously alienating and ingratiating affair -- the film wants you to join the party but keeps reminding you you're probably not cool enough to be invited.
"Rachel Getting Married" is a work of enormous self-promotion in more ways that just this however. Shot with the kind of camerawork that immediately announces itself as somehow inherently more "real" by virtue of its being handheld (what is this, 1992?), "Rachel Getting Married" seems intended to remind viewers of Demme's vitality as a fiction filmmaker, his youthful, just-off-mainstream persona. Yet there's something fishy right off the bat: the purposely awkward, off-center framing of Anne Hathaway's Kym, smoking a cigarette outside of the rehab clinic she's leaving to attend her sister Rachel's wedding; the hectic hurrying of the camera as it tries to keep up with her as she rushes through her house; the look-at-me jump cuts as in-your-face and choppy as Hathaway's harrowing split ends. The more "Rachel Getting Married" screams "Truth!" at its audience, the less truthful, of course, it becomes.
Which is a shame, because if Demme had ditched the pretense, he might have had a passable little family melodrama. As the black-sheep former addict of her clan, Hathaway appears properly movie-star mussed, looking distended and gawky, forced to wear ill-fitting zip-up sweaters and angry-girl eye makeup (later, she'll pee in a cup and shave her armpits on camera). The question isn't so much whether or not she can keep her raging rivers of narcissism in check long enough so as not to ruin her sister's big day as it is when Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt) will learn to accept Kym on her own, misbegotten terms. DeWitt, conveying a wounded history of sibling rivalry with ease, is the standout in the cast, and Hathaway comes across much better when paired with her.
The film's best scene (both in terms of performance and camera placement) comes after the rehearsal dinner, when Rachel upbraids Kym in front of their father for the bald-faced self-interest and rambling incoherence of Kym's "toast" at dinner. It's the first time we see the roiling anger below the surface of the family erupt, and the one-upmanship between the two girls is strikingly vivid. This is Lumet's most incisive stuff -- the just barely concealed resentment, the angling for parental approbation -- and if she didn't continue to burden the characters with wild behavior and over-the-top outbursts (a late-film "Mildred Pierce" slapfest between Kym and her mother, played otherwise with an unsettling reserve by Debra Winger, is a particularly risible moment) the film might have functioned better as a mini-portrait of a family trying to move on after a long period of grief.
But then Demme goes and squanders whatever interest we've accrued in these people with his meticulously messy nuptials, an interminable affair so blinkered by its own wealthy bohemia that it doesn't seem to realize its cultural appropriation of Indian wedding customs (all the women are in saris) is obnoxious exoticism, plain and simple. And this is where Demme really lets his friends loose: In the backyard of her huge Connecticut house, Rachel gets married to TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, while being serenaded by Robyn Hitchcock, DJ'd by New York nightclub staple Anita Sarko, entertained by famous Jamaican performer Sister Carol East, and flanked by belly-dancers. Demme, apparently feeling that what his audience really wants for his film's third-act resolution is concert footage, lets his cameras run and run. And we watch and watch from our chairs as his actors and buddies frolic and dance, endlessly. And every once in a while Demme cuts to Hathaway, looking off pensively, so we don't forget that we're watching, in fact, a narrative.

A longtime cheesemonger at Metropolitan Market, she's now cheesemaker at Mountain Lodge Farm, a new farmstead creamery near Eatonville in Pierce County.
IT'S EASY to envision Meghan McMahon McKenna as an Irish milkmaid born in an earlier century. Awake before dawn, she'd head to the barn to tend her goats, fill a pail with milk then trudge back to a chilly cottage to spread homemade cheese on brown bread. For her, paradise might be a soak in a steaming tub.
The contemporary Meghan McKenna has a much better gig.
A longtime cheesemonger at Metropolitan Market, she's now cheesemaker at Mountain Lodge Farm, a new farmstead creamery near Eatonville in Pierce County.
Here in the foothills of Mount Rainier, she lives on the Nisqually River Forest Reserve in a spacious farmhouse whose lab-like cheesemaking room stands just off her kitchen.

McKenna rises each day to tend a herd of 80 goats, including two dozen darling does, prized for the butterfat content of their sweet milk.
When the does aren't munching hay, they hit the hillside with a mama llama, browsing on scrub and salal, blackberry brambles and dried leaves. "They eat those like potato chips," says McKenna, who grew up in a Chicago suburb eating Kraft Singles.
Twice daily, she and her husband, Shawn, milk the goats and collect 25 to 35 gallons of precious product, depending on the season. Thrice weekly that milk is transformed into cheeses named for the nearby mountain, and sold at select shops and farmers markets.
"We buy as much as we can, whenever we can," notes cheesemonger Sheri LaVigne, owner of Seattle's Calf & Kid. "Their Summit, a surface-ripened cheese made with a layer of vegetable ash, is one of the most perfectly executed cheeses I've seen from any domestic cheesemakers in a long time."
LaVigne isn't the only fan. In 2011, the American Dairy Goat Association gave five of McKenna's six entries first-place awards in the amateur category, and her soft-ripened Paradise took best of show. Mountain Lodge Farm got its dairy license in February.
Both were proud moments for the farm's owner, Sherwin Ferguson, a nurse practitioner and working partner whose skills come in handy during the busy season when baby goats are born, swiftly weaned, then bottle-fed.
It was a workshop at the acclaimed Quillisascut Farm school that brought Ferguson and McKenna together. Chance bunkmates, Ferguson had the means to keep her land in agriculture, McKenna, the moxie.
McKenna says she became a student of cheese by tasting — beginning with her first "revelatory" mouthful of fresh mozzarella during a college year in Italy. After a move to Seattle and the Sand Point Metropolitan Market, on-the-job training meant attending conferences, learning the art of aging, and experimenting at home with cheesemaking kits.
She also worked without pay for a farmstead cheesemaker who helped her perfect the craft. Each Monday for six months, "I'd get up at 3:30 a.m., ride my bike to a Zipcar and arrive there by 6 for the start of milking and cheesemaking," McKenna says.
During a honeymoon year in 2010, she and Shawn immersed themselves in the craft with stops throughout Europe. "Our goal was to find a farm in the mountains practicing transhumance, the ancient tradition of rotational, seasonal grazing."
They found it in the Pyrenees, spending two months in a 200-year-old cottage.
Today, living a locavore's fantasy in the shadow of Mount Rainier, "We present a very pastoral version of life, where we drink wine with lunch every day," McKenna says. "That's not the reality, but it got me hooked."

I'm right-handed. Although I can use either one or both hands to accomplish many tasks, I'm basically a right-handed person.
I'm a lefty, but i play swinging sports (golf, batting, hockey...) right handed.
Completely right handed. A few years ago I broke my right hand and I was absolutely lost. At the time one of my main duties at work was approving invoices, work requests, purchase requests, etc.. I had to sign everything left-handed or with just the fingertips of my right hand. Everyone had a field day making fun of my signature for that 8 weeks.
Like other posters, I'm extremely right handed. I dread doing stuff that require dexterity and co-ordination in my left hand.
Left handed, but have learned to do a few things right handed, golf and guitar.

Right, but I can do several things pretty well with my left hand...
ok maybe that too, but I can throw a Frisbee and feed myself with utensils equally well with either hand.
In search of what to search for.
I'm a lefty and Thanks to your favorite diety I am. Darn near cut off a couple of finger tips on the right about two years ago. Only thing that saved me from really going off the deep end (I kinda did anyway) was I was able to use my left hand. The right was wrapped from elbow to finger tips for over 2 weeks. Gosh, I hated that.
Slow, but at least still moving...
I'm mostly a righty now....but I used to be completely ambidextrous. I can shoot good with either hand, still write legibly with my left and I'm a left-handed shot when I play hockey.
Just Do It..
Right handed....... but my right hand is TOTALLY JACKED UP. So I do most stuff with my left hand. I didn't see this option so I did not vote.

Very much left handed. The right hand is only good for those tools that don't work well in the left hand like scissors, computer mouse, touch typing and . . . nope, that's it. Can't think of what else my right hand does.
ambidextrous, but nerve damage from a few months back makes it easier to use my right, somethings i can only do right handed, and somethings i can only do left handed.
but i can work chopsticks with both hands
I guess i do have a website http://iwentoutside.com/

I write with my left hand, but I can do many things with either hand.

More right-handed, but I can write, use chopsticks, scissors, etc with my left. I usually brush my teeth with my left, and I keep my watch on my right wrist.
I'm right handed, but can bat L or R, and play hockey L(but golf R).

Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
Some of you may have heard that expression and some of you may not.
For those that havn't this post is for you.
On every sporting event bookmakers will set a line, are they accurate to the actual probablity everytime?
hell no. Granted certain sports are less likely for the lines to be "off" it can occur on any sport.
Perhaps the best way to explain what I am on about is to give an example.
A friend and I play golf, he is not my usual golfing buddy. We play on average once every month or so. Our first match he beat me by 4 shots. I came back and edged him 2 matches later. Overall he has me about 12 to 7.
Now lets say bookmakers were to frame a market each time we played from now on, starting off the next round they have me at 4.00 (+300) and him at
1.23 (-440). Some of the variable info is favourable for me the course we are playing at is the one I have beat him at most out of any of the courses and the wind is going to blow hard.
Now with everything taken into consideration would you say my line of +300 is an accurate reflection of the outcome of our match?
If you answered no then you would be correct. This is an exmple of where the line of what the bookmaker has set is "overs"---over the odds, over what the line really should be.
Simply put--the odds of +300 is not an accurate reflection of the outcome of our match. As a gambler given all the circumstances for this upcoming match u should be on that +300 everytime because in the long run it would be profitable.
Now lets change things up. Say bookmakers come out with 1.83 (-120) for him and 2.00 (+100) for me. This one has gone too far the other way, for me as a gambler (not that I bet on our golf matches!) it would either be a bet on him or a pass.
Based on everything I think a fair reflection of our next match would be him at 1.63 (-155) and me at 2.35 (+135). As a gambler I think that is an accurate reflection of our match and it would be a no bet for me.
Learn to know the probablity of what u are betting relative to the lines set and use it to work in your favour.

Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
Yes nice post, i would just like to say that i for one find it hard to accurately calculate a prediction. I can often study a tennis match and spot a 50/50 match in which case the odds are obviously 2.00 either way im my mind.
However, the real problem is can you accurately say that someone has a 60%, 70% or 75% chance of winning? Very hard to give a precise prediction.
I have become quite familiar and fond of the so called backwards way of looking at NFL spreads. Im not sure in the slightest whether i am correct here but upon looking at the Ravens vs Dolphins spread, my initial thought was that the Ravens would kill the Dolphins and i guess a lot of people believed the same. They'd have seen the -3.5 on offer and jumped on the price probably even taking the juice and buying -2.5. The bookmakers appeared to want money on the Ravens as perhaps the sharps had been all over the Dolphins +3.5.
Example 2: The Vikings and Bears put up 65 points in Chicago and the bookies are offering a 43 point game total MNF in dome???? Im guessing the public would have been all over the 'over', hence i posted my wager on the under in the NFL betting forum. It seems to me thinking down these lines can be very helpful indeed.
Any opinions welcome.
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
-Miami have been poor, but many of their defeats have been close calls, that could have gone their way.
-Baltimore have had a poor season themselves and are no offensive juggernaught by any means, so any win they have is usually a close one.
-Injuries on Baltimore D leading up meant that you had to take into account this isn't your Baltimore D from recent years.
I would have picked Baltimore to win the match too, and had Billick not made a horrible decision to tie the game instead of go for the win from the 1 yard line (when they had absolutely nothing to lose as far as their season was concerned) at the end of the 4th Q, then they may well have.
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
One last point:
TNF and all the press leaks have been how tired and beat up the Steelers are, how the Jags and Pats have gashed the much vaunted Steeler D. Even a few widely read pundits even picked the Rams SU, you can get +7.5 on the Rams tonight at home and im guessing through a few forums read that the majority of people are going to be on the Rams +7.5.
Lets see if in actual fact Pittsburgh run away with this?
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
Pittsburgh will get the W. Rams just aren't good enough all round to win this although they still have Bulger, Jackson and Holt to make plays. Maybe they'll cover the spread, but as far as ML goes, this is the Steelers game and they very much need it.
The fact that Steelers have lost on the road this season to teams they should have beaten and that it has been such a talking point for them - points to the belief that they won't be underestimating the Rams and will go home with a much needed win.
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
I think in attempting to read the line, it suggested this play. Im sure im not the first to ever think this theory but im happy now. ;)
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
Good stuff Dave, thanks for sharing.
Actually this thread has got me thinking about the restructure to the gambling forum I'm planning to discuss with the site webmaster over the next couple of weeks. I definitely see some value in a sub forum where posters can discuss any interesting strategies and gambling related articles across all sports not just tennis.
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
Theory has been around for years mate, I've been applying it sporadically over the past year. I found it a very useful tool for sports capping of specific sports.
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
This is what Gambling forums are all about, people sharing ideas, right or wrong and discussing it together in a good manner.
No wind up merchants causing arguments.
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
Winning long-term is all about picking value, as difficult as it is to do.
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
I think winning long-term is about picking winners.
Nothing is to say that the 'value' picks won't keep on losing for an extended period of time.
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
Bet slowly and be patient is the game of winning.
Get $1000 - put it on what would be a good bet - say Hawthorn to beat Melbourne @ $1.33 on Sunday. That's $330 profit you've made in one weekend providing Hawthorn don't stumble. The next week, find another decent bet and do the same - for example it could be Geelong at home to beat Carlton @ $1.20 - $1.30 - Again, that's another 200 odd bucks you've made. Do that over the course of 22 weeks and you've suddenly made around $7000 in 22 weeks. Not bad!
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
Bolar I have a friendly challenge for you. Over the course of the AFL season, play a virtual $1,000 on a $1.25 shot or more per round and see if you win them all. I bet you will slip up somewhere along the line, even more than once IMO.
And if that happens there is absolutely no value in that strategy you outlined above.
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
Re: Betting at "over the odds" and how it can help you
Actually, i'd like to see this for real. Are u able to make a virtual game for him that we can all see how he does? Basically like that virtual tennis stuff.

The popularity of the Atkins diet is forcing stores and restaurants to cater to Atkins dieters.
At Subway in East Lansing, Atkins friendly wraps surfaced on the menu two weeks ago. Employees say the new items gives customers more of a choice.
L and L food centers have also jumped on the marketing bandwagon. They started stocking their shelves with Atkins friendly items six weeks ago. A store director says customer demand will have them bringing in more products.
The craze has the food industry changing the way it markets to customers. Signs can be seen in many store fronts advertising items with low carbohydrates.
The Atkins diet is a protein based diet, where people stay away from carbohydrates, fruits, and dairy products. Dieticians say they would recommend a modified version of the diet. Dieters would eat a mixed low carb diet.

The snow has melted, but the water is now almost entirely off the track. The clown contingent successfully retrieved their van. Meanwhile we have run out of heating oil: it is now perfectly possible to get a tanker up the track, but whether our local fuel company has any fuel remains to be seen — it's a worry because the Professor needs to stay warm. As with last year, the weather contrived to come down just before the top-up was due.
The unfortunate little cat Fillan was found dead this afternoon, collapsed near her food-bowl which was still half full. The cold must have been too much for her. It has been absolutely brutal. She evidently struggled gamely on for some time after our intervention, but it's been too much for her at the last. She was at least ten, a good age for a feral.

"Simply Wonderful! Beguiling Theatrical Magic!" hails the New York Post for Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific. This breathtaking new production of South Pacific is based on the 2008 Tony Award® winning Lincoln Center Theater production, directed by Bartlett Sher.
Set on a tropical island during World War II, the musical tells the sweeping romantic story of two couples and how their happiness is threatened by the realities of war and by their own prejudices. The beloved score's songs include "Some Enchanted Evening," "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair," "This Nearly Was Mine" and "There is Nothin' Like a Dame." USA Today cheers, "Four Stars! Gorgeous! South Pacific doesn't just float; it soars!"
Based on James Michener's Pulitzer Prize winning book T_ales of the South Pacific_, Rodgers & Hammerstein's South Pacific has music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, a book by Oscar Hammerstein II and Joshua Logan.

"By the year 2005, 70 percent of all documents will be created and maintained electronically compared to only 10 percent today," said Xplor International, an association dedicated to advancing the art and science of electronic documents. If that's true, what future is there for computer printers and all the people that work for the more than 100 companies that make them?
Well, don't sell your printer stocks just yet, because by 2005, printers will pump out twice as many documents as they do today. Why? Because the amount of information in our wonderfully creative society is doubling every three to four years. By 2005, there will be more than eight times as much information produced annually as today. As executive director of Xplor, Keith Davidson, put it, "the paperless office is about as realistic as the paperless toilet."
Other than the sheer volume of information to be printed, there are other trends that will ensure printers have a long life. For one, printers are replacing copy machines. We're now "mopying" instead of "copying." Mopy means "multiple original prints." Instead of printing one page and walking to the copy machine, we're making multiple originals on the printer. Why not when you can simply type in the number of copies you want while you're sending the job to the printer? Analysts expect that in 10 years the stand-alone analog copy machine will no longer be made. They will all be digital with printers and copy machines having merged into one. You've already seen it at the low end in every office supply store with multifunction printers (MFPs) offering printing, copying, scanning and faxing in one unit.
At the higher end, printers now come with huge hard disks that can hold the formatted output and print pages one, two, three, etc. in order, then offset the stacker one half inch and print the next set and so on. Even stapling and three-hole punching, heretofore only available on copy machines, are wending their way to the network printer. Options abound. For example, Xerox's 4517 laser printer offers a 10-bin lockable collator. The bins are used to collate output or separate it by department, but they are also lockable to keep sensitive documents from unauthorized eyes. Only the right password opens each bin.
Printers are also replacing the traditional printing house. For years, high-speed digital printers have generated those wonderful "Dear Mr. Freedman, Congratulations, You qualify for the ... yak, yak" letters. Screamingly fast page printers from companies such as IBM, Xerox and Oce Printing Systems (formerly Siemens Nixdorf) have been pumping out this kind of material at speeds up to 744 pages per minute. Every document coming off a machine such as this has bypassed the traditional offset printing process. We're now in the "have it how, when and where you want it" world of POD, or "print on demand." No more creating films, proofs and all that manual stripping on the light table. After all, if the documents are created digitally in the first place, why not just print them and be done with it? Last year, POD was a $42 billion market. POD jobs are considered short-run jobs with less than 5,000 total pages. For example, 2,500 two-page flyers, 500 10-page booklets, or 10 500-page books.
IBM's 3170 digital printer is POD in full color. Handling paper up to 12.5 inches wide in rolls that are cut to any length after they're printed, the 3170 can print 70 pages per minute with outstanding color quality. You'd love all your reading material printed with full-color graphics as good as this. At two tons and $365,000, this is not your average network printer. However, any organization with major color POD requirements will save money in the long haul and get their jobs out a helluvalot sooner. Nothing competes today with huge offset presses spitting out millions of pages, but, in time, they too will succumb to all-digital printers.

Arizona officials are jumping back into the debunked controversy over President Barack Obama's birth certificate and his eligibility to hold office.
A legislative committee on Wednesday endorsed a proposal requiring presidential candidates to swear that they meet the qualifications to hold the nation's highest office.
And the Arizona secretary of state is expected to call for candidates to complete a new form asking eligibility questions, including whether they are natural-born U.S. citizens.
The controversy over the validity of Obama's birth certificate and eligibility -- started by what critics call the "birther movement" -- gained steam in Arizona last year when the Legislature passed a bill requiring presidential candidates to prove their citizenship before their names can appear on the state's ballot.
The proposal was vetoed by Republican Gov. Jan Brewer.

This review is from: SONY Movie Studio 11
Pros: Not complicated, user friendly, straight forward, Un-Adobe
Cons: Too buggy, many restarts needed, crashes
Other Thoughts: It's fine for creating very basic videos, but you need to save often, as the software will crash and require a restart. You'll also notice random things stop working, like the play button, or the render directory won't load. Just close down the program, and restart.

It's ok
This review is from: SONY Movie Studio 11
Pros: Does most simple editing, multiple video tracks, wipes, limited effects etc.
Cons: Weak on the Audio Side, Stupid Limitations, many effects are garbage, clunky controls.
Other Thoughts: Program is ok for cheap price. Coming off a program like Grass Valley Edius, I was a little disappointed in the audio support. Doing exact cross fades and such are a bear with this program. Doesn't seem to let you cut and paste the files on the fly. You have to use their trimmer which is a pain and time consuming. For the fades you do not have exacting control over them, rather you have some pre-bult models which are not exact.

This review is from: SONY Movie Studio 11
Pros: -Editing full 1080p videos
Cons: - Cant alter presets to make them custom rendering
Other Thoughts: Going into this i already knew the limitations of it, over all it great for those simple edits. One thing that i really wanted was the Composting mode for videos however i realize it didnt have screen option after i purchased it. This is great for home usage, editing videos for youtube, facebook, etc. It does have a tutorial for first time users! If you are looking for a cheap and good editing software this is it! I recommend looking the product on their website it gives a full detail of all the features!
